The ten cars were idled on top of the

two engines, being telescoped and piled
across and oa top of each other." It is
miraculous how any escaped as the
coaches and engines did not occupy
more than two car lengths of track
and all on top of the road bed. In
one coach not a person escaped. In an
other only a lady. Seventy dead have
been taken out tip to this time and on?
hundred woanded are now in Chats

depot, etc. At Piper City there are
large numbers of wounded. The dead
are estimated at over 100. The wreck
caughfc-fire but it was put out by train
men and passengers. A heavy rain set
in two hours after the wreck before the
wounded could be taken away. The
people are doing all they can for the
won iiiiled.
Later reports from this terrible affair
give the number of dead bodies taken
from the wreck at 110; and other ac
counts reach the number of 200. Two
or three times as many are reported as
injured more or less seriously. There
were about 900 people on the train.
The following very sensible comment
this dreadful affair is copied from
man to fulfil this duty of caring for his
Family as farming.. The soil and the
elements are- in" combination to help
him in his worthy task. The earth
denies nothing reasonable to those who
go directly to it for sustenance. The
factthat even the rudest methods of
cultivation are sure to yield some kind of
return, which in some way may become
adequate to current necessities, is the
strongest passible evidence that a living
is certain on tm land when it is preca
rious in other ways.
Farming is a limit of the nomadic
life and the beginning of the social and
civilized. Tillage bespeaks fixitv, set
tlement and concentrated exertion; and
these are the stakes that must always
be driven flmriy down before a race
can claim to have set out on the high
ways of progress. It is nothing to the
purpose to say that it does not admit
of making fortunes, or even much
money, as iome of the other occupa
tions do. The latter, be it always rc-
memoe.ed, never can reed people, since
they produce nothing; while farming
is a creative industry, getting some
thing that is necessary where nothing
was before;. It is sure to give one a
living according to the intelligence and
skill with which it is followed. This
is of far greater importance than mere
ly making money. As those' who pos
sess fortunes come to regard sound
security of far more importance in
making investments than high rates of
interest, so should the calling that sup
plies the best assurance of a living be
held ill much higher esteem than one
which, though it may tempt with larg
and glittering prizes, is not to be de
pended upon for a support under all
circumstances, and with the applica
tion of ordinary intelligence.
Who should enjoy a more solid sense
of security and contentment than he
who feels sure that he can make a
living for himself and his dependent
family every year? Nor is the family
wholly dependent, eithci, in farming,
as it is in all other vocations, and. es-

London,, Aug. 11. It has transpired
that Mr. Blaine's departure from Dub
lin for Cork, to the former of which
places he intends to return, was made
for the purpose of personally witness
ing some evictions which he was advised
would take place yesterday or today
near that city. It appears that he in
formed a friend of his desire to see for
himself precisely the extent to which
evicted tenants were subjected to hard
ship and cruelty in order that he might
prepare ua absolutely correct digest, of
iiis observations, and his un expectedly
short stay in Dublin is accounted for
by the fact that the opportunity he
sought he almost immediately obtained.
That he intends to gather material for
use in the coining: American Presiden
tial campaign, with a view ot securing
Irish votes, cannot be doubted and that
he will observe that the instructions of
the police are litterally carried
out and that he will observe that the
tenants proceeded against olfer no re
sistance to their ejectors sre also beyond
question" Mr. Blaine's reputation as a
friend of ho ne rale has preceeded
him and his tour of Ireland will un
doubtedly be made as pleasant as pos
sible. His name is known in the south
of Ireland almost as well as it is in
America and his visit to that part of
the country is expected by many of his
enthusiastic friends here to wield a
large influence in determining the ac
tion of the National Republican Con
vention in 18S8 as showing that lie is
able to draw to his support the bulk of
the Irish vote.
Mr. Gladstone is rapidly recovering

be in cultivation bv the natives, from
New England to Chili, but it is thought
to have originated in the highlands of
Peru and Bolivia, as traces of it have
been found there in ancient tombs and
in geological deposits with the earliest
traces of man in that locality. As to
the present exisiting varieties of corn,
it may be noted that the maize plant is
affected in a remarkable degree by cli
mate and soil, and a local variety can
he established at any time by the selec
tion and continuous sowing for a few
years, of seed showing any striking
peculiarity. All of the varieties in cul
tivation in the United State-, from the
smallest kind of pop-corn to the enor
mous specimens of maize grown in the
western and southern states, are but one
species, and owe their differences to pe
culiarities of climate and soil and to
continued selection in cultivation.
Inter-Ocean.
Flag Koot.
In Fayette county there is a farmer
who makes more from a quarter of an
acre of swamp than he does from the
remainder of his farm. He made last
year from this-.qter of an acre, $5,
200. That beats anything but a rich
gold mine. The explanation is given
in the words of the venerable and well-to-do
farmer:
k"L tell you,'' said he. when 1 first
moved on this place it was very un
healthy; my stock (bed rapidly and my
family had no health. My wife had
been in the habit of keeping calamus
in the house for her own use, and she
decided to plant out a small patch on
the edge of the swamp. It began to
spread rapidly, and in a short time the
whole quarter of an acre of marsh was
covered with it. Tiie cattle drank the
water from the branch on which it
grew, and nt once became healthy and
ceased to die. It was then that I firs!
began to lake an interest in the growth
of the calamus, and to take pains to
save and dry the" root for market, as 1
understood that it would sell well."
Calamus is the botanical nam .' for
'flag root.'"
to those who do the work in it is the
living room, and why should it net be
made convenient and pretty? If the
kitchen ia comfortable, cherry room.
most girls will take a pride in keeping it
so. Give them pink colored tissue pa
per for the shelves, if they wish it, and
a fancy lamp shade to rest alter the
kitchen is tidied up for the night. See,
too, that they have convenient utensils
to cook with, a good clothes wringer and
plenty oji clothespins, and a good stove.
It will pay you well to look after these
things in good, wholesome dishes that
will come to the table well cooked.
Many girls have to do with makeshifts
that yon wotdd not think possible for
yourself to use; a broken wringer, a
tub without handles, or a washboiler or
tea-kettle, with a rag ran through a
hole to prevent leaking. No girl likes
to ask for repairs, and oftentimes the
mistress is too careless to look well
after the little things of her kitchen."
I would add: Let the girl's sleeping
room be" a plea-ant, attractive place.

Hero Farm Labor.
The labor qnestion comes nearer
"cleaning me up" than anything elae.
1 have however, become convicted that
the negro is our main "dependence; we
have got him, or he has us. 1 don't
know which; sometimes I think one
way and sometimes the other. At any
rate, we have to stay together, ami we
must feed him or he will feed himself,
aud I prefer feeding him; it takes less
to do him or there is less waste at tar li
ed to our feeding him. for he had as
soon eat a Berkshire pig worth twenty
five dollars as a scrub worth only two
dollars; or your Plymouth Hock chick
ens, as any other cheaper food. On
shares, we can't afford to give him a
good mule or horse to kill, or a cost Iy
lot of tools; or seed to-throw away; for
if he was to make six hales of cotton
and three: hundred bushels of corn, he
would think he ought to live easy ail
the rest of his life. You should feed
hina, and you or some one else will be
certain to do it, too. Now you take
the expense off of these bales of cotton
(for 150 bushels corn don't go to Iris
support; it goes for Sunday clothes and
whiskey,) we see very plainly that it
will not feed and cloth his family. . I

who gave thejiquor away were arrest
ed. Upon being released, four of them
went to the Fort Wayne depot, and,
mistaking a stranger who they saw
there for one of the detectives who as
sisted in the prosecution, they set upon
and beat him unmercifully. They
were all arrested.
A Chance Wcrd.
Who can estimate the value of a
chance word, in the sense in which there
is such a thing as chance? L pon the
silence occasioned by the sudden stop
ping of a street car, there fell these
words : '-So long as 3-ou can contri
bute to the pleasure, happiness or com
fort of any human being, you are of
importance in the world and no
longer."' Whatever may have been the
object of these words, the thought
reached the hearts of a dozen or more
passengers, and it was interesting to
note the changed expression on some
listless faces. In utter unconscious
ness of any effect of her words, -the
lady from whose lips they f"ll, passed
out into the street. Perhaps in the
great day it may be her happiness to
know that the Lord then used lu r
tongue for a blessing to some heart
which had as yet failed to comprehend
the
meaning ol
its life struggle: for'
the truth she emphasized was a truth
which all of us need to realize. Not
our personal enjoyment, nor yet our
seeming success in life, but our part in
God's plan for others, is the measure of
our importance in the world. Sunday

Aslesp Away from Home,
A correspondent of the New
Post mentions that in tne old
yard at German town, New Jersey at
the extreme eastern end oi the grounds
is a stone placed there bv the historian
Watson, with the following inscvip-
Daner from Insects.
We are in the habit of hearing that
flies in multitude are a sign of safety in
a house, because they devour the poison
in the neighborhood, not considering
that if there were no poison the flies
could not have it to devour; but we
have not lxen wont to hear t he existence
of gnats and mosquitoes excused for any
reason. To our mind one may eventualfv
be found its dangerous to life and health
as the other, and the work of Dr. Carlos
Finlay, of Havana, has shown what the
dangers are which we run from mos
quitoes. In his research into the in
noculability of yellow fever he six
times succeeded in transmitting the
disease to a healthy person by letting a
mosquito that had previously Ibitten
a ' yellow fever patient bite the
healthy person. If this can be done
in the case of yellow fever, it may
be done with equal efficiency in the
case of countless other and more
dreadful diseases, and it becomes us
to seek for means to exterminate
these pests and their kindred, if their
extermination be possible. Harper s

A Good word for Buttermilk.
In warm, summer weather, many
persons feel an irresistible craving for
something sour, and often gratify this
desire by a free indulgence in pickles
and vegetables made acid with vinegar.
This demand for acid indicates a de
ficiency iu the acid secretions in the
stomach, and the demand for an artifi
cial one is a natural one; but vinegar
is notthe best substitute. Lactic acid
is one of the chief agents that give
acidity to the gastric juice of the
stomach in health. This Is the acid of
sour milk, and therefore one of the
best summer diet drinks that we
use is buttermilk. It satishes
craving3 for acids by giving
stomach a natural supply, and at
u tine time furnishing in its cheesy mat
t -r a good supply of wholesome nutri
tion. A man will endure fatigue iu
hot weather better on buttermilk than
any drink he can use.

Ecmarkable Surgery.
The science of surgery has made such
wonderful progress, iu modern times, that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried to a suc
cessful issue. There are now several,
well authenticated cases of what ijs known
as pneumotony, that is to say, the re
moval of diseased portions of the hiugg in
cases of eonstiuiptiou. While, however,
this delicate operation has sometimes beeu
successfully performed, the risks utteud,
iug it are so great, and the chances of re
covery so slight, tliat it is seldom resort
ed to. The safest plau in consumptive
cases is to use Dr. Pierce's Gulden Medi
cal Discovery. This will always cure the
disease in its earlier stages, thoroughly
arresting the. ravages of the terrible
malady, by removing its cause and heft
