That beautiful poem, There la No
Death," is agaiu on its rounds in the
newspapers, credited as tuual, to Sir
Edward Bui wer Ljtton. That poetic
gem was written in the editorial room of
the Dubuque, Iowa, Daily Herald, one
stormy night, many years ago, by J. L.
MoCreery, the then local editor of that
paper.
An Ohio man gave his sweetheart a
Waterbury watch. Later on in his court

When cows in the winter pick at the
soiled bedding of straw thrown out of
horse stable-, the fact allows that they
need salt. It i- the saline taste that
attracts them, and when salt is so cheap
aa it now is, there are certainly modes of
giving it to any kind t'stock , preferable
to that of having it eaten with the excre
ment of other anltnls. If salt alone
does not stop this craving, give the cows
some bone meal.

Wasiiinotos, March IT. The secre
tary of the interior ha rendered the
following important decision, involving
the question of residence upon home
Stead entries prior to making final
proof :
To the Commissioner of the CJeneral
Land Oflice Sir: I have considered
the appeal of Wm. A. Thompson from
jour office decision of July f. 1SSU, re
jecting his final proof for land therein
mentioned. I think this man is entitled !
to his patent. He made Ills declaratory
statement April 2fi, 1SS3, alleging set
tlement a week before, and shows that
he made it. It appears that he was ab
sent during most of the following sum
mer; that he was on the land from fall
until the following spring; absent again
during the succeeding summer; again
upon the land from fall until spring, and
not absent six months at any one time;
that he applied the proceeds f his labor
during two seasons, when he was alisent
to the building of his house and making
improvement on his land, now valued
altogether at ftiOO; that he was a poor
man and his absence was for the purpose
of earning mean to improve his land,
and that he devoted all his earnings
with fidelity to that purpose. In the
spring of the third year he left again,
and remained until the following Jan
uary, hi purpose being to earn money
to pay for hi land. The amount
necessary ws $'20(1, a considerable sum
fsr a laborer to save from hi wages in a
year, in addition to the necessary fees
and expenses. He appears to have done
it, and notwithstanding he was not per
sonally present upon his land duting the
last six months preceding the comple
tion of his entry, the fact cannot deny
hi right .
He made a settlement in person on his
land; he has erected a dwelling thereon;
he has improved the land, and he has in
habited it in good faith. When it is
considered that this tract was situated
many miles from the ordinary highway,
remote from settlements generally; that
it is very difficult of access, and yet, that
he has persistently clung to it for three
years, applying all the results of his
labors to its improvement and it pur
chase, it is difficult to discern a case
more worthy. His inhabitancy of the!
land is not impeached, after his residence j
was once secured, by his going a bread to j
procure means to bring back, improve it !
and obtain title to it.
I must reverse your decision and direct
a patent to issue to. the claimant .

Mtstkr Edditer: Now that we have
advertised for a good teacher viith
references, I hope we will get a good one,
though I dont have much hopes. I never
saw a good school teacher yet . Most of
folks knows how a school ought to be
run; but I never saw a good school
teacher that did. If they would only do
as folK9 wants them te do, they would
never have any trubble.
Now I never saw a teacher that k new
how to get along with my boys. Boys
will be mischevious sometimes, but there
is no use in finding fault with evry little
thing. My children aint bad. They cau
be coaxed into almost anything, but you
cant drive them. If a teacher would
take some pains to coax them, they
would almost always mind. I dont be
leave in beating them. I beleave iu
morel perswasion. Now I have herd
; some teachers call that morel ewasion:
( and yet them very same teachers is
always picking at my children for saying
taters for pertaters. That shows how
much some teachers knows.
But while I beleave in morel jerswa
sion, I know there is some boys you cant
get along with that way: and from what
j know of the boys around hear, if the
teacher would do light, some of them
would get whiped evry day. Oh.
wouldent I lam some of the boys around
hear if I was teaching that school I I do
dispise a teacher that hasent got the
spunk to take hi own part, and whip
when the scholars need it.
I dont beleave much In education any
way. When I went to school, I could
spell every word in the speling look,and
what good has it ever done mef Now in
Cornelius we have got a doctor, a justise
of the piece, a post-mistress, two or three
preachers, and three or fore school
teachers, and I cant see a they are
getting rich any lafer than the re-t of
us. And, after all, there aint ary one of j
them knows as much atxuit ther hisiness J
a most of us could tell them.
If a good teacher with preferences , in.-iuufact tiring indu t i ie of t he country
does come, I want him to come i ilit j ,., ,, precedent . The American la
struit to my house, and I can tell him j Mrer has U-i n and is the be-t clothed

Editor Ixr tkmext: In reply! to
Mr. S hulmcrick, would say that I am
not au advocate of high protective tatiff,
but a tariff sufficient to protect our Jin
dustiics from being crushed out of (ex
istence by the cheap lalor and money of
foreign nations
I do not claim that the American la
lwrer has to pay 50 per cent, more for
his woolen goods than his British com
etitor, but accepted these figure as the
extreme figures of the advocates of free
trade.
I have no desire to underestimate the
disadvantages, and overestimate the ad
vantages of protection.
Woolen clothing, such as a-orn by the
masses of our people, can be bought in
eastern cities as cheap as in England.
Possibly, the quality is not so good, as
more shoddy is used in the manufacture
of cheap woolen good in thi country.
Mr. S. asks the question : "If reduc
tion in the tariff lias curtailed the sheep
industry, why i wool worth 7 tents
more a pound in Boston to-day than in
1S8, before the reduction f"
We find iu a special report of the
treasury department, document No.
l0-.5, pae 109, that the price of fine
wool in lanuary, liJ, was 44 cents per
pound ; January, 1HS7, ti'-S cents, which
is a depreciation in value of 11 cents per
pound. Bradst reel's report of the
Boston wool market, February 10, 1888,
says: "The Boston market is more in
sellers' favor than for many weeks," aud
quotes fine wool from ) to 33 cents per
pound.
Regarding the question of asking the
'people to foster an industry that has
leen suported for JO years with no
brighter prospects now than then," will
say that within the past 5 years, wool
aud woolen goid have Keii greatly
cheapened to the consumer. The pr
dtK'tion of our woolen manufactures
mVe grown from an annual
product of
$200,000,000 to about $300,000,000.

Your Children
Are constantly exposed to danger front
Colds, Whooping Cough, Croup, and
dUeases peculiar to tha throat and
lungs. For such ailments, Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral, promptly adminis
tered, affords speedy relict and cure.
As a remedy for Whooping Congh,
with which many of our children wero
aulictod, we need, daring the pat win.
tr, with much satufacUon, Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. For this affection, we
consider this preparation the most effi
cacious of all the medicine which have
come to our knowledge. Mary Park

Wanderers, Doncaster, Md.
My children have been peculiarly sub
ject to attacks of Croup, und I failed to
tind any effective remedy until I com.
menced adminiHtering Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. This preparation relieves the
dinioulty of breathing and invariably
cures the complaint. David U. btarks,
Chatham, Columbia Co., N. Y.
X Lave used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
in my family for many years, and
have found it especially valuable in
Whooping Cough. This medicine allays
ail irritation, prevents innammat ion f rum
extending to the lungs, and quickly sub
dues any tendency to Lung Complaint.
J. B. Wellington, Plain ville. Midi.
I find no medicine so effective, for
Croup and Whooping Cough, a Ayer's -Cherry
