raise their own pork and in fact pretty
much all they require Pave groceries. He
gave it as his opinion that tbe reason why
oats had been a failure of . bite was mainly
late sowing. Said he intended sowing here-
after in October. He further said tbey pro-
posed trying wheat again and thonht
early sowing would lead to success in that
also. We believe these views are well
founded.

The programme on the Chautauqua Hill
this week baa been nnusallr iuterasting. Oa
Monday "Horn Hweet Home" was the sob
Ject of a master piece by Rv J. W. Har
mon of Brenkatn Texas. Tbe pure Eog
llkh of the speaker together with his easy
aud graceful delivery would have been
enough to raise the speech to a high level
without iU beautiful thought But the
thought was ploasaut poluted powerful
Single blessedness was touched op with a
coloring that did not appear so bright to
baohelors and old maids. All the pleasures
and beauties of the home were gathered
around the leoturare stand wove into a
beautiful garland of flowers; even the "baby
bud" was not overlooked. We predict this
man will hate an hoar on this same stage
in 1891.
COL. L F. OOMXAKDOr PaNMSTLTANIA.
Where are lh thousands of people that
met to bear Pennsylvania's niawhleae ora
tor? Praise! all praise! This funny ecoen
trio ironical satirical philosophical logl
oat man held his audienoe for more than
two hours while many thought he had only
been speaking forty minutes Tbe subject
was 'The Mistakes of Bob" and woe unto
Bob's platform when the catting logic of
this man began to knock it down The
lecture was replete with splendid thoughts
crowded with amusing and apt Illustrations
woven together by the strongest chord of
logic tonched np with the oleanest and most
entertaining ' wit strengthened with by a
thrust of cutting sarcasm against all the
ugly places ot Bob's theory made pleasant
by endless versatility chock full of roaring
fun tempoted down by the finest religious
sentiments given to the audience in the
Inimitable style of Mr. Oopelsnd what
could we do but sit with onr mouths open
and listen? But few "Millers" oould have
ground oat a betters speech than this and
the great Brooklyn preacher himself never
put half such a strain on the vest buttons of
Texas. With several othor lectures from
Mr Copeland and other distinguished men
tbe remaining part of our programme will
be of the highest obaraotor. Let the people
enoonraire this move. Space will not allow
us at this time to mention other lectures
which were equally commendable.

A BIsau Woman.
Ono of tho most contemptible persons
in New York is the woman who Is soen
daily in Madison or Union square park
and who evades the law which forbids
dogs being permitted to run at' large.
8he ties her dog to a rogo long enough to
do duty as a clothes line for a good sized
family wuth. When the policeman is at
tho other end of tho pnik Rhe "pays out"

the taxpayers for tho delqctation of vis-

policemun coming toward her this most

that even Zury tho meanest man in

The Britlth parliament honsos are-
crumbling to pieces so fast that there is
constant danger of some portion of the
buildings toppling down on tho mem-
bers. Parts of the front of St. Stephen's-'
have had to be entirely ro faced because
of the wearing away of the soft stone.
Only a week or two ago a heavy piece of
a stone heraldic animal suddenly fell
close to tho entrance to Westminster
hall in Old Polaoe yard a means of en-
trance to the houso which Is largely
favored. But a few days before a por-
tion of the prnamontul stonework fell
close to the members' entrance itself
and another heavy piece foil on the pave-
ment of New Palace yard not a month
ago. Chicago Tribune.
