John charged 'em up to him, remarking : The old rat got me that time, but if I never git it, they are mighty well sold.' Merchants sell shoddy, goods and adulterated goods, and they know it, but they don't put up any signboard and say 'danger ?' or,lookont for the engine!'

'Which i3 the sharpest?' is the prominent, idea with most persons who make j a business of trading. The jews under stand it, and act upon it. They fortify" against every customer; they uuderstand human nature ma,U. -its-weakness. I heard of one who would .put ah old pocket book in an overcoat, and toll his customer it was a coat Vent there for sale, 'and the cus tomer after trying! on several 'ovWoata.- al way 3 (bought the o;,e with the pockeit book in it. The dew tricked him, but the' customer was just as willing to trick thejew, and get a pocket book full of money L There are but a few tracers wh habitu ally show up the bad side .of anything they have to sell, and they find fault with everything they want to buy. Solomon understand i'it when he said: " 'It id naught, it is naught,' saith the buyer, but aster he buyeth he goeth his way and rejoiceth;" If Solomon never traded in horse flesh, he must have stood round alivery stable right smart. i. lit; v c i ttunw u. uuttuer iu tviy his beef was poor, ;but if you want to sell him a yearlin' he will say he is too poor for beef, and get the price down as low as possible. The most respect able merchants do not feel call ed upon to' tell you that the calico you have picked out will lade. 1 saw a lady go into a (store with a sample to buy more liKe-itrbut toia, her it was all sold, and persuaded her to a pauper, which j shows . their consideration of the nation's purse And the farmers keep up with the rest of 'em, according to op portunity. Most of 'em have to buy more than they sell, but they learn some few tricks aa they move along. I heard one say he could make a bale of coitoh weigh ten per cent, more by letting it lay on the damp ground a month, and there would be no deduction for wet. Unsound com is sometimes ground into meal ; sick chick ens are hurried off to town, and the best eggs are put on top of the basket. They don't false pack cotton near as much as they used to, for it got to com ing bacfc on 'em with a cer tainty that was uncomfortable I see by the Augusta paper that a darkey boy went to sleep in a cotton press, one day -when it was half full of lint and they put more on top of him without knowing he was in there, aud they screwed down and packed him in the bale, and wouldn't have known it if a piece of his coat tail hadn't stuck out of the bag. l was a thinsing wnat a howl it would have raised if the bale had gone to a Northern factory before it I was opened "What a first-class Southern out rage false-packing cotton with dead niggers just "like the Louisiana planters bile 'em up into molasses. But all these trick3 of the trade are by no means a general thing amnng our people though folks do say, we are learning mighty fast. Farmers can't trick" much, for they deal only in corn and cotton and hay and potatoes, and that can't be adulterated.

She called a young girl iieir by to her, engaged her, and left the office. "Well,'' said Mr. Binny, - to the other ladies who wonderingly look ing on, "there goes a lady that has had great good luck in her life. You know Mrs. Rush -she was very, rich, and had not a relation in the world; she outlived them all. She lived at a hotel iu her last days, and kept a maid to wait on her. She had one ten years.

It has long since outlived its usefulness and the purpose for which it was crea ted. It is a duty that the people owe to themselves aud the business iud industries of the State to see that the law is abolished as soon as possible. The Abolition ot this odious law would have a marvelous effect for good on every branch of business in North Carolina and would work a wonderful change in business relations; It must be plain to all that the the law protects the ra.scal and at the fame time barn's the honest citizon who regard it his duty to pay his debts. It is the policy of the Euterprise to con deuin in the strougest terms every bad law, aud among several bad ones w ith which the teopie of this State are afflicted it regards the homestead law as the worst. While it is the duty ol a good citizen, and a loyal newspaper to respect the laws ot bis country, it is equally their duty to condemn and seek to abolish a law when tbe effect is for evil instead of for good.

It lacked just seven minutes and a half ot the hour of Inch noon wheii a single wbiie '.Hooded fi. nre, above which was a face of yel lowish pallor, tbe Tac-e of August Spies, passed tbe first post of the gallows. Tbe gaping crowd ten feet below half rose involuntarily from their chairs at the first glimpse of the apparntion advancing across the scaffold. Spies looked calm aud glanced at the rej-oi ters witi a trace of his old time cynic tl smile. He walked firmly over the drop.tiuided by the grasp of a deputy, to tbe fur thest edge of the gallows. Following close came -Fischer, close enough to touch spies' shroud had his bands riot beeu pinioned under tbe white muslin.

The once jauuty, vivacious Texan came last, a withered old man. He had aged twenty years since tbe day scarce twelve months before when he tripped lightly and flip pantly declared he was ready to be tried at once for his life. The mo ment h:s feet touched the scaffold, Parsons stemc.d to completely lose his identity and to feel that his spirit was no longer a part of his body.

But the grotesque laugh stopped in a single instant, and Parson, meekly at a saint, turned Lu eyes upward at tbe dangling line above him. lk?rore the four anarch&ts had an inkling of what was to be, done, the white caps were deftly slipped upon their heads, aud drawn down to tbe necks, shotting off the view ol each as completely and with less warning than does the camera cloth of the photo grapher.

In a tone of iutense bitterness of spirit he, tbe man who wrote infamous re veug circulars, hissed out between his lightly clinched teetb, "There will come a time when onr silence will be more iowerful than the voices they are strangling to death.' Tbe last syllabic of Spies' conclud ing words, hoarse with suppressed passion, had not.reached the end when Engel, raising bis voice, wild ly cried: "Hurrah for Anarchy." Fischer canght the fire of utter ance and still more loudly exclaim ed: "Hurrah for Anarchy,"' ad ding, "this is tbe harpiest moment of my life." There was silence like the grave, broken abruptly by the slow meas ured intonation of Parsons, like a while robed priest before the altar of sacrifice. Not as a - dying re quest, but rather like a commander warring, he soundeth forth, "May I be allowed to speak V Then with slow entreaty came, "Will yoa let me speak, Sheriff Matsou !" There was another agonized pause. Though muffled in a shroud, he broke out in an unnatural hollow accents, "Let the voice of the people be heard." A crash as of a falling bon.- thundered through tbe corridors, the slender ropes were taut, aud ia full view of th two hundred turn in front were four white, writhiDg shrouds. Tho rops could be i:eii slowly tighteniug about the ra cks that, between tho C3j aud tdirund. could be noticed bla:keniug and purpling, and Farsous, Kngd, Fh chcr and Spies, the convicted Hay market murderers, bad paid the rKnaIty of their awful crome. They were throttled by the law that self same law that they ha 1 Iio;k.-1 to throttle. Fischer died very haul and Spie and Parsons truggled and kicked NUMBER 12. .NEWS OF A WEEK MMrt1fe .

The squat form of Engel along side with tbe Ptupid, wide-jawed face made a hideous contrast to Parson's assumption of the halo of a martyr. Fischer was head and shoulders taller than the other three, making his occasional looks of too evident bravado more noticeable than tbey might otherwise be, and at a sorry disadvantage compared wiMi tbe steady coolness of Spies.

Tbe four burly deputies standing to the rear of the four condemned Very many farmersconsider bran as of little value as a feeding mate rial. In fact, for all farm animals except hogs, its cheapness renders it one of the best, especially wben mixed with corn meal weight for weight. While its chemical com Ksitiou from the analysis of Pro fessor Browe, of the Ontario Agrt cultural College at Guelph, would seem to show it better adapted as a fat former and heat producer, than for muscle and milk, never tbeless in connection with corn meal it is practically found most valuable and ecouomica! in these lat'or directions. Prof. Browu summariz e the value of a bran as follows : Bran is a concentrated food. which, though variable in compo&i tion, posessive high nutritive value. Roller process bran is, on the average, richer than old bran. , Its excess of ash or mineral mat ters eminently fits it for bone build ing, iu growing animals, aud for supplementing the lack ot mineral matters in roots. Its chemical composition Kmts to the conclusion that it is some what better adapted to the forma tion of fat and production of heat, than to the formation of muscles or of milk Both its chemical composition and its physical form adapt it ad mirably as a supplementary food to he used iu connection with poor and bulky fodder, such as straw and roots. Its mauurial or fertiliz ing value alone repays its cost. By retaining and feeding tbe bran upon thn iarm, the objection to se ling the grain 13 partly over come, viz. : the exnaustion or me soil, since the bran retains most of tbe mineral matters which cannot be derived from the air.
