Tbe Farmer's Seventy Tears.

Abl there he is. lad. at the plough;He beats the boy. for work.

And whatsoe'er tbe task might be.None ever saw him shirk.

And he van lauxb. too. till his eyesItun o'er wltb mirthful tears,

And sing full uiauy an old-ti- song.In spite of seveuty years.

"Good morning, friends ! 'tta twelve o'clock ;

l ime lor a nail hour a rest."And farmer John took out hi. lunch

And ate ll Willi a zcnl."A hardy tu-- k it is," said be,

"Than tallowing up these steers.Or mending fences, fur, for me

To loel my seventy years.

"Ton ask me why I feel so young;I'm sure icnJs, I can't tell.

But think If s my good wire's fault,Who ket me up so well;

For women such as she are scarueIn this poor vale of tears;

She's givuu me love.uiul hope and strength,For inoro than forty years.

"And then my hoys have all done well,As lar as they have gouo,

Aud that thing warms an old man's blood,And helps him up and on;

My kit's have ucver caused a pang.Or raised up anxioiH fear.;

Then wonder not thai 1 feel youngAnd hale at seventy years,

"Why ilou't my good bovs do my workAnd let me ait and rexlP

Ah! friends, thut wouldn't do for me;I like my own way best.

Thev have their duty; I have mine,And till tbe end appears.

I mean to smell the soil, mv friends"3 aid the man of seventy years.

Grandpa's Soliloquy.

It was n't so when I was voting.We used plain language then;

We did n't apeak of "them galoots"When meaning boy. aud men.

When speakingof the nlc baud writeOf Joe, or Tom, or Kill.

We did It plain we did n't say,He swing, a nasty quill."

An' when we seed a gal we liked.Who never f:nled to pleae.

Wp culled her pretty, neat and good.But not "about tbe cheese,"

Well, when wo met a good old friendWe had n't lately seeu.

We greeted him but did n't say, -"Hello! you old sardine."

Tbe boys souitimes got mad and lit;We spoku of lilts and blows;

Rut now lb"y "whack hi in on the snoot,"And "paste him on the no.e."

Once, when a youth was turned awayFrom her be bold most dear.He walked oft oq Ilia feetbut nowHe "craw Is' oil on biBear."

We used to dunce, when I was young,Aud used to call it so.

But now thev do n't thev only "slingTbe light fantastic toe."

Of death we spoke in language plain,That no one did perplex.

Hut In these days one does u't die-- He"passe, iu bis checks."

Ve praised a man of common sense;"His Judgment's I.'' we said;

But now thev say, "Well, that old plumHas got a level bead."

It's rather sue I the nowAre learning all niicIi talk;

They've learned to"gbiu ' Mislead of "chat,"Aud "waltz" instead of walk.

To litie Harry yesteriuvMy grandchild, aged two

I said, "You love grandpa?" He said;"You bet your boots I do."

The children bowtd to strangers once;It is no longer

Wum of Making;Notea.

Editor Intelligencer: Gauze orflue net traversed by bars aud stripesis iu enormous demand for eveningwear, and both arc draped in bouffantsl vie over silk or satin. Tulle, eitherplain or spangled, is also in greatrequisition, us likewise "drapery net,"a species ol Jane covered with smallfloral figures. These materials are notexpensive, and as the bilk or satin caube ot cneup uunlity. a dress can be gotten tip at small outlay. Such fabricsare worn cliiellv by young people, butas black lace offset bv colored bows orover a colored foundation is very fashtollable lor evening, aud all the otherfabrics are repeated in black, olderpersons can devise

STYLISH COSTUMESwithout great expense. Yellow is anexcellent combination with, black,lighting up most itteciivly, to saynothing of pink, blue, crimson, etc.Very rich eveuing toilettes are made otmoire, plush, velvet, gros grain, failleor satin, united in ways too numerousto mention; splendid brocades com-plete tho list, aud while iu many casesone material serves as trimming toanother, yet in tho way ot garniture,passementerie oi colored or crystalbeads or metal galoous and fringes arechiefly iu demand. Necks are cutsquare, heart-shape- pointed backami front, square low or round low,and sleeves are either very short orcoming to the elbow, while as an evidence ol tho remarkable liberty prevailing, some costumes are very highin the neck with long sleeves. Glovescorrespond with sleeves, aud at timesreach well past the elbow, white kidbeing iu considerable demand, butlight tan, pearl, or even pink or paleblue are worn to match dresses. Brouzeslippers with hosiery to match are extremely stylish, but tan with tan stockings, match tan gloves, or both may booi a color to match tbe dress.

NOTES.Ladies are beginning lo renlizo

that the best cosmetic is it lino, puresoap, and to this fact must bo all filia-ted tho immense demand for Pears',the great EngliKh complexion soap,indorsed as it is, by Mr Wil-son in the medical prolessiou, and MrsLaugtry, Mine. PiiUi aud others in thoworld of beauiy. It is sold at different prices.

THE PEOPLE WILL THINK.

From the Memphis Avalanche. J

Tho burden of all late interviewswith prominent citizens is the tariff.In all the leading journals ot the day itoccupies more space than any othersingle topic. It is gratifying to notethai, in iiiiiirly every cuso some argu-ment rather than iiiero empty praise ordenunciation, as the case may be, isused. The people are beginning tothink deeply and earnestly ot thematter. There is no lack ot materials.and in the next ten mouths the questionwill be mine thoroughly discussed andthe public mind will be more nearlymade up than ever before in the historyof tho country. President Cleveland'smessage was purposely written thut itmight bo read ami understood by tbemasses. They are reading it, they dounderstand, and when net they haveauy opportunity for expressing theiropinions at the ballot bos, they willshow their hu:,rly apprqval of it.

I lie Avalaucho sees no reason torregret because a few southern papersof moro or less influence lmvo takenissue with the president. They willgive cost to what might otherwisebecome a somewhat tedious contro-versy. Give Hie gentlemen room, orrather all the rope they desire.

From tbe New York World I

Roger Q. Mills, the man selected byKiubIfbh ftnnllDln in I .n . . t . twpc.ci vui 1 1 n iu its iiig icanci 1 1 Lliedemocratic house of representatives, isone ot the least Known and best knownmen in public lite. He is best knowniu that he stands at tho forefront amongtariff-refor- m thinkers oi y; he isleast known iu that you will not findhis biography in any of the encvclone- -dias, aud the story of his life as told iuthe congressional directory is made tinof three lines. It states that he livesin Corsicana, Texas, and that he hasbeen in congress fourteen years. Mr.Mills through modesty lias never replied to the questions oi the congress-ional biographer, and, as one of thepapers put it a year ago, no one appearsto know whore ho was bom, and hebears no evidence of having had fatheror mother. Ho is at present 65 yearsold and he would he a marked man inany crowd. Tall, straight ami commanding, lie has a chest like that olHercules, and his big. round, handsomehead is fastened to broad shoulders bya strong and well-c- ut neck, lie Simula5 feet 10 in his stockings and he lookstne leauer. mere is none of the dif-fidence aud backwardness ot Morrisonabout him, and his brave, dark browneye looks atrubt iuta vouraas hetalks. It twinkles at times and theman is full of humor, as well as ot

He can tell a good story audI would not be surprised to hear thatho could sing a good song. M r. Mills'forehead is very high, broad and fulland he combs his gray hair well backfrom It. His hair is short aud ratherthin at tho top and it curls slightly iustover his ears. His nose is straight andlarge enough to be that of a great man,and the ragged mustache, which showsout under it, is made of strands offrosted silver. He has no beard audthe only whiskers is on his chin in alittle wisp of a goatee, fastened be-neath bis lower lip. His face is fulland his complexion fair. lie dresseslike a gentleman, but, I judge, doesnot spona muca time botore the looking-glus- s. His clothes are black audhis coat is the double-breaste- d frock ottbe statesman. He wears a turn-ove- r

collar, a dark necktie, and his linen isoi tne whitest. Luke most of the south-ern members of congress, he affectsboots rather thau shoes, and spendsmore time in the selection of his authorities on political economy than liedoes on his patent leathers. His hat isa sott tolt, aud bis spectacles, which hewears when reading, are of steel ratherthan ot gold. His onlv iuwclrv. ifjewelry it can be called, is a fiticlv- -cliased gold huuttug-cas- e watch, thoiace oi wnicn boars the eleven lettersin his name

In his mannershe is bluut as Brutus, but a deal morepleasant. Honesty shines out of everyline ot bia features, and his lower law,while il has not the iron griD of itun- -dall's, evidences great determination.Said oue ol his Texas colleagues lastuigm: "Mills is above all things trueto his word. Ho is the kind of a manwho, it called on by an office-seeke- r,

will tell him at once whether he cando anything for him or not. There isno Jauus beadedness about him. and hehas none of the qualities of tho chame-leon. When Mills tells me he wid doanything, I don't bother myself anvfurther about it. I know that he willdo It, or that his reason for not doingit will be satisfactory to me. He isoue of tbe most popular men iu Texas,aud he led the party tovictury- - iu tuat state last, year, lie is aman oi oroaa views, aud is a greatstudent npou his specialty. Ho makesoue or the greatest leaders onr partyhas ever had. Sizing hi in ud as awhole, be is a splendid specimen ofsouthern manhood, lie has unques-tioned courage, aud is a man of con-victions. As to his capacity as a leader,as our cattlemen in Texas say. he willround up his followers in the lowerhouse better than they have ever beenrouuded np before."

A KENTCCKIAN.Roger Q. Mills was born iu Todd

county, Kentucky, and his lather wasa Virginisn. Ho makes no claim topatrician blood and he is proud of be-

ing one of the people. He moved toiexas at 17. studied law at Palestine,aud was admitted to the bar when hewas 20 years of age. The law of Texasrequired lawyers to be at least 21 yearsold, aud the legislature passed a specialact admittiug him at 20, He settled atCorsicana, now a town of about 8,000people and situated iu tho best nart otTexas, and here It was that be hungout his shingle. He soon had clientsaud be bag long been known as one oibest lawyers of tbe Southwest. Whenthe war broke out he entered the confederate service as lieutenant-colone- l,

and he fought until the closo and cameout a colonel. He was wounded threetimes, but he does not think his careerworthy a place in the Congressionaluirectorv. Alter tue war ho againpracticed law aud in 1874 he was sentto congress from tho state-at-larg- e. Hehas been in congress ever since and hasconsidered tariff reform the greatestquestion oi tne past decade. He is nota rich man aud he has worked morofor bis constituents than for himself.Ho lives in Washi igton at 115 G 6treet.a house about midwaj between thepatent Umce and the treasury, aud hiswife is here with him. Mrs, Mills is astraight, flue looking, well-forme- d ladywith dark eyes, and beautiful wavvhair into which the gray is beginning, UI.. 1 .

Mrs. Mills' brother, Gen. JohnIs. Jones, has been adHitaiil-gcuer- ul olthe state, and the family i? one of theleading ones oi Texas.

PROFITS OF MANUFACTURING.

WOOL MEN AS PART OF THE REPUBLI0AN MACHINE.

A number of wool growers and woolaeaiers were called together in Washingtou the other day for a politicalpurpose and adopted a pronunciameutownicn is on tne level of an ordinaryrepublican campaign document. Tbenn proved assertions of this band ofprotectionists are in general too commonplace lo need especial consideration. Protectionists believe that thecountry is indebted to the protectivetariff lor its prosperity, bat free traderschallenge them to prove anything oftae sort. Assertions will not prove itTbe vigorous young people may beenjoying a gratifying degree of nationalhealth in spite ot serious ignorance andneglect ot the laws of life. Freetraders point to the decay of othernations under injustice and class rule,aud urge that the United States willnot always have vast areas of publiclaud to relieve tbe country of the consequences oi mistakes iu public economy. iue resolution ot tbe Washingtoncomereuce ot political woolmen is uuscrupulously sophistical. It undertakes "to demonstrate the injustice oftue president's policy aud the fallacyof the remedy he proposes." To dothis the resolution states that the reve-nue from wool is only $5,000,000, asmau amount comparea witn tne surplus revenue. This statement In theway of argument must be intended forsimpletons who can be led to supposemat rresiaeut uieveland intended onlytbe abolition of the wool duties. Hitmessage alludes to the wool-growi-

farmer to show how some classes get alittle profit by tariff protection oneway, but lose more by that system inother ways. To this argumeut thejobbers who met as woolmen for politi-cal purposes make no specific reply.But thoy are clairvoyant. They causee that the surplus is chiefly composedof the internal revenue. This is woiisderttil wisdom. The government getsincome from different sources, andthese seers know that one sourco is thereal source of tbe surplus. If thetariff were abolished and the internalrevenue were continued, there wouldbe no surplus, but a deficit. Never-theless it is ooutended that the inter-nal revontio is the source of the surplus.Ibis is logic tor sheep, not for sheepmen.. The republican wolves in sheep sclothing repeat that foreigners pay theduties ou imported wool.

ABUSE NOT ARGUMENT. .

I from tbe Chicago Tlibune, Eep.JThe qucttion of rednnino th InO

million surplus revenue and correctingthe irregularitiet of the tarilf, as pledg-ed in tbe republican platform of 1884,has now been . tnfflciently discussedamong tbe republican papers of thecountry to permit an estimate of publicopinion as reflected by them. We arosurprised to find among them a con-siderable number of small concerns(not yet out of the born-boo- of politi-ic- al

economy) which are hostile to thorepublican platform's policy of reduc-ing tbe war taxes, and to tbe Tribunefor advocating it. These unreasoninglittle organs are disposed to be captionsand snarling in their comments, evenlo tbe exteut oi assuming the papalfunctions of excommunication ami .

reading the Tribune out of the party.Among all these critics, however,

whether they write in good or badtemper, whether they are prejudiced orunprejudiced, we have not found onethat deals with the question fairly orlogically, or that shows by even plaus-ible arguments tbat there is no necessi-ty for a reduction ; not oue that demonstrates from facts aud figures that tbetann cannot be properly, justly audbeneficially reduced; not one thatproves it has the right to violate thepledge made in tbe republican platformof 1884, or that tbat pledge was givento be violated. We have not found onerepublican editor who has given anyreason why these enormous war taxeson tbe necessities of life should be onn.tinned, or why tbey cannot be safelyrouueeu, or wny tne reauction cannot .be properly ad lusted so that the tariffshould still be high enough as a pro-tective measure.. Not one has showiithat a reasonable redaction would beany damage to legitimate manufactur-ing interests, or tbat containers oughtto keep ou paying these war taxeawhen their necessity for revenna hasceased. We have scanned ail the littletbick-and-th- in tariff papers to ascertainif any oue of them could seriously arguethat $100,000,000 of unnecessary taxesshould be collected merely to be squan-dered ; that bnt for tbe war of tbe re-bellion there woold have been any suchtariff as we have now or auy necessityfor it ; or that sixty million consumershave not tbe right to demand relieffrom wanton aud tyrannical taxatiodron the necessaries of life for the benefitof millionaire monopolists.

We submit therefore, as a matter ofcommon propriety and decency, thesosmall critics should set forth theirreasons or be quiet. They have noright to assail the position of PresidentArthur and emphasized by tbe repub-lican national convention of 1884, un-less they have ample and valid caose.It they have any reasons for so doing,will tbey nol kindly state them andsend us marked copies, so that the

ribune may discover the error of HaWSVJVill thnv fnrfhar almas- - na hn.they expechtri-ivt- o win wittt to.uacco on toe iree inn i , thesoiaiers- - pension tuna aestroyeithe war taxes continued, aud neretbey expect to count noon new votes.unless it be democratic votes in Massa-chusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio,where tbey are not needed? Tberhave much to say about tbe votes of

orkingmen, bnt they will kindlrremember thai Henry George got70,000 votes in New York City on apiatiorm oi aDsoiute free trade, witna land tax on top ol it; that here inCook county 25,000 votes of working-me- n

were polled on a platform in favorof abolishing the war taxes on thenecessities of lite; that the recentgathering ot Knights of Labor atMinneapolis not only refused to adoptany resolution favoring tbe continuanceof these taxes, but placed it squarely onthe platform of the farmers of that statedemanding relief? If the little editoracannot get the vote of the farmers allover the great west or of the working-me- n

all over the country, what areare they going to do?

The Chicago Tribune stands whereit has always stood right in tbe mid-dle of the republican congregationand plainly states tbe reasons why itabides by the republican creed, tbeprincipal doctrines of whictrare' the.republican tariff redaction of 1857, the .reduction made in 1883, and the pledgemade iu 1884 to reduce the tarin stillfurther. In the curt language otGeneral McMahon: "J1 y suit; fyreste." The Tribune is bere and staysana tens tne reason wny. woaia itnot be well for its little critics, beforepiping oat any farther treble excom-munications, to take their bearings andsee where tbey are, lett they go npouthe rocks and are dashed to pieces?

Those republican newspapers whichtwit their contemporaries upon layopinions of constitutional law, becauseof particular decisions of courts, forgettbe history of their party, if they everknew it. We are not eurprlsod atthat kind of thing from certain lawyers,because it is aa much the tashion withthem to underrate the legtl acumen ota court tbat differs from them on a pointol law, as it is to cheapen newspapercriticism of anything which hsppeusto come into what they hold to be thecharmrd demesne of their intellectualpreserves. It is not strange, therefore,that they should disparage tbe value ofnewspaper judgment upon questionsof law. but bow a republican news-paper can forget what it owes to itsown dignity, and to tbe history ot itsnartv. in nrrtAF in fan inin tjiattniastrain, is passing strauge. f When ir1857 the supreme court of the UnitedStates rendered the Dred SWtt decis-ion the northern republican press dis-sented from it.and though tbe men whocontrolled the newspapers bad no licen-ses to practice law, they exercised theprerogative of freemen to differ froman opinion which they considered atvariance with the principles of person-al freedom which underlie our lorra ofgovernment. No doubt Lincoln, Sum-ner and Seward, who were lawyers,accomplished much toward inflamingthe minds ot the northern people npouthis question, which did more to pre-cipitate the war than any other, but,brilliant aa they were, their work iotbat direction paled in its luster beforethat done by Horace Greeley, ThnrlowWeed and Samuel Bowles.
