Murat nalstead life on a Farm. Joys of Following the Fences and Binding Wheat--Virginia Slave Sale In 18GO. V. 1893, by Murat In tho early times Paddy's Run was regarded as a mill stream, but tho only mill over run by its water power was ono to saw lumber, yet it was a lively rivulet, even in midsummer, and sometimes would carry a horso off his feet. It was bordered by sycamores and willows, and in tho turns of tho current wore- dark pools well peopled with fish--sunflsh, chubs, suckers, cats, yellow and silver, and silver sides, an occasional perch and rarely a bass.

It was astonishing how many nice fish could bo caught on pinhooks with a bit of twino and a stick. Tho sunfish was the beauty of tho creek. As bo was snatched from tho water, with every fin set like tho rays of the sun in a picture, and glittering, ho justified his name, and when correctly fried ho was delicious. Tho fish preserved by the public opinion that protected them on Sunday and the hard work that everybody had to do through tho week. Before tho days of converting corn into hogs the fashion of tho Miami river country was to steam it into whisky as tho only way to get it to market.

It did not pay to wagon corn to Cincinnati, over more than 12 or 15 miles, when the round trip could bo made in a day. A 20 mile haul was too much for a load a day, even after turnpikes came in. The first thing the fanners of tho groat Miami country got money for was whisky. A number of marges loaded with that merchandise were loated down the Miami from Dayton and pulled up the Ohio to Cincinnati. After whisky came tho era of fat hogs, whoso legs carried them to market, and tho hog drovers weto almost as picturesque and numerous as tho cowboy is of latter days.

In whisky times thoro was a htillhouso in each of tho valleys of tho streams putting into tho Miami from the north, with tho exception of Paddy's Bun, and to each arew foprics for the ordinag trade tobaccos, will finite Or IMITATIONS.

12, Bank Block. EAELT FIELD WORK. stillhonso wero traced sorrows to families. Tho whisky must havo been pretty "good," I fancy. Those who drank it know how it was mado at any rato.

When tho roads wero good, wagons, heaped with barrels of whisky and drawn by from three to six horses, with croaking wheels and cracking whips, crept to the city. There wero several anecdotes of tho returns of farmers, showing that sometimes tho business trips wero relieved by festivities. Ono prosperous citizen's wifo Insisted on accompanying him, partly, tho neighbors said, lor hor own gratification and partly for her moral influence, for her "old man" had been known Irr the of the evening the watchers at hoine, waiting for tho return of the heads of tho family, who had made the excursion to tho great city by tho Ohio, beard on tho highway, and growing louder and loudor, the rattling of chains, tho rumbling of wheels and tho heavy gallop- Ing of tho four horse team, and they said to each other in awe, "Miko's comin," and hastened to open the gates and remove all obstacles to navigation. As Mike drove in triumphantly and under high steam tho beys saw with alarm that there was nothing of tho wagon thero but tho running gears, and Miko's attention being urgently called to tho fact he was sobered by tho shock and said, "Must 'a' left old 'oman in the roaJ." Fresh horses wero soon bearing frantio riders in search, and the lady was found sitting, safe and patient, in tho wagon bed where it bad tumbled. She knew her value and that she would be missed, and waited.

Tho first week's work in the spring, when school was out, was always exceptionally hard. The natural joys of springtime wero somewhat obscured. My earliest field work was "dropping corn." After a field was well plowed, it was furrowed one way in rows drawn with a light plow as straight as possible, the width that the corn rows were to stand from each other--about four feet apart was the rule --but some farmers thought 40 inches enough. When the cross furrowing took place the planting was simultaneously done, for much depended in placing the tend corn in tho soft, fresh and, if possible, mellow ground. A team for corn planting was, first, the light ono horse plow, marking the lines; after the plowboy the dropper, and then the bands who covered tho grains in "hills" with hoes or with a light machine drawn by one horso, tho sharp shovel taking up tho dirt from tho bottom of tho furrow, lifting tho jumper, as somo called it, so as to throw tho proper amount of fine earth at each crossing, and stopping lightly on it, this light step giving the operator an appearance of limping.

The dropper bud to manage to walk at a steady jog and place his left foot so that tho five grains, tho usual plant- but it often happened thero wore four or six--should fall neatly near tho tip of his shoo, or, still bettor, tho naked big toe. Thero was a good deal of skill and even art in dropping corn. My first cornfield triumph waa in doing that well. It was necessary to get the right number of grains between tho thumb and two first fingers of tho right hand and to catch tho swing in walking, to place tho loft foot for a guide at tho crossing of tho furrows, and to drop tho corn so that it would not bo in a pile or widely scattered. And thero presently camo a knock of throwing down the four or five grains to produce tho proper number of stalks In a "hill," so as to strike and stick just about two inches apart.

At first I was very proud of my accomplishment in keeping stop and dropping the precious seed corn truly, but thoro camo from tho farm hands tho deadly remark that it was "girls' work." Very early I got out of competition with tho girls by becoming a plowboy, when, as a complimentary person told me, I had to "reach ap" So tho plow handles. 1 found plowing gaoh a delightful occupation that I never considered it real work --that is, real hard work. Tho feeding and currying and watering and gearing tho horses and hitching them to tho plow wero duties a little irksome, but thero waa always a sense of grandeur and luxury in the grouml freo of roots and stones, to turn over tho dcop, rich soil and sec it crumble, and it was not a weary but a jocund tramp to goon around tho "land," shearing otf slice and carving it down mathematically, every step lotting tho lire of tho sua into tho earth to make it fruitful. I invented a way of using a right hand plow to throw tho furrows inward all tho time--always away from tho borders of tho field--and to turn tho horses on unbroken soil, that they might not harden tho plowed ground at tho corners. Tho plan was to mark off land by a furrow drawn through tho center of it and to turn all tho time to tho right with tho use of tho single lino and "crowding stick." Of course this ceremony contemplated two horses and put tho right hand horse in the furrow all tho while and the guiding horse on the unbroken land.

However, as horses aro driven, there is a convenience in a left hand plow. My point was to do the work of the left banders with a right hander. Ono of tho slovenly and eventually wasteful things hi farming is to throw tho furrows toward the fences, for it is putting soil where it cannot bo so well tilled and spoils tho fences with ridges parallel to them. That which 1 disliked in farm work was "making fence," and more especially mending fence, and the digging of bushes from fence corners and otherwise clearing them. That was severe.

I have even felt it was disheartening. Chopping wood was not so bad. That was clean, though hard. Thero was something worth while in cutting down a big tree, and no one told mo when I was a boy trees wore among tho best friends of man. I thought they wero tho enemies of my race--that tho pioneers wero worn out destroying them--and I have como to consider them benefactors.

Still, when a great treo is to bo cut, it is like laying siege to a city, and it is manly and joyous to chop tho deep notches in it that causo its thrashing and resounding downfall. I remember one grand old elm, condemned because its vast shadow'' killed an acre of corn," that stood up all day against two stalwart choppers and at last groaned and thundered after a majestic bow to theshaken ground, and asitsgreen head disappeared thero was a sad change in tho landscape. I did not got tho knack of swinging the scythe in a meadow or tho cradle in a wheat, rye barley or oat field, but I was accomplished in binding sheaves and putting them in shocks. Tho only limitation that distressed mo was that tho straw wore out the skin on my fingers, and the beard of barley tormented my arms. How I on- vied a party of young Welshmen, right from their native mountains, with their hobnailed shoes and white corduroy breeches, rolling up their sleeves and gathering tho barley in their tawny arms, that seemed made of I did not mind binding wheat, oats or rye, but a ripe barley field was not, to me, a pleasant sight.

"When in Richmond, in I860, I attended a sale of slaves at tho Washington House. Tho place looked like a cheap concert hall. Thoro was a platform that resembled a stage, and there wore screens, behind which the privatopart of the business was transacted. There wero no galleries, and the audience was accommodated in tho "pit, "so to speak. It was as dismal an apartment as I ever entered.

This was at tho time when a radical southern state convention was being held, and I was iu the capital of Virginia in the capacity of a reporter and visited tho slave auction for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with the peculiar institution about which there was so much disturbance and excitement. When I walked in, an elderly negro--a good deal of white in his hair--had just been sold and was bowing in all politeness and humility, apparently saluting the man who had mado the highest bid. Tho slavo was a Virginian, whose future homo was to bo in a cotton state. A slender and bright looking black boy came upon tho stage, showing great, round eyes, and--when ho pulled up his trousers at the command of the master of ceremonies--a rather slim and crooked pair of logs. '-This fine boy, gentlemen," said the auctioneer, "is a smart and good boy, obedient and learns quick and will be a first rate servant.

He is 11 years olG, and ho plows well with ono or with two horses. Breaking ground or plowing corn is all tho same to him." That recommendation mado mo nervous. Why, it was my own plowboy record recited to sell tho boy. Eleven years old, and could plow with ono or two horses! My recollection is, the boy sold for $350. MURAT HALSTEAD.

Engaged in making furniture in the United States there are furniture and upholstery employing $79,255,072. These factories and this amount of capital desire freo glass, free glue, freo lumber, free hardware, free varnish and freo everything else--possibly also freedom from taxes.

$79.255,072 President Sextro and Editor Grodkin desire to take away all protection from 26,686 factories that supply the raw material for 5,688 furniture makers. These two worthies desire to make $730,000,000 of capital idle in order that $80,000,000, part of which is Mr. Sextro's capital, may increase in volume. "We would ask Mr. Godkin if this species of tariff legislation which he now advocates for the benefit of the furniture manufacturers would not be "a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few." We would ask Mr.

Godkin if to ruin the business in which $730,000,000 is invested for the sake of enriching a business in is invested would not be "the culminating atrocity of class legislation?" The furniture and upholstery trades in the Vuited States employed, according to the census of 1890, 78,667 hands, who earned yearly $43,054,942. We do not see that President Sextro or Editor Grodkin has either of them made any suggestions that the wages paid to the hands working in the furniture factories should be increased when the 406,648 employees in the glass, glue, lumber and varnish factories are turned idle upon the streets. We find no suggestion made to remunerate the wholesale and retail trades for the loss of $171,657,936 wages earned in the glass, glue, lumber and varnish trades, money that was spent and circulated where earned. Trade in those localities wonld be checked by this amount. In this contemplated roboery of $171,657,936 from 466,648 wage earners for the benefit of 78,667 hands, not including President Sextro nor Editor Godkin, the following figures are interesting: Annual Number of wages employees, earned.

Yon ridiculed every plant that was established. You said they were erected for cam paign purposes. You said it was all being done foi political effect. Yon lied about the matter and deceived your readers and hearers.

Yon said tin plate was then mado and never would be made in this conn- try. Now what do you think of it? There aro now 15C tin plato mills in operation or under coustrnetioifin the United States. And thero are rnoro than 38 projected. Aud now for somo figures taken from Democratic records: The aggregate output of tho mills now and soon to bo in operation is 30,000 boxes each per annum. This means an aggregate output of 4,680,000 IXHtes in all When the projected mills aro completed, the total annual output will reach 0,420,000 boxes, or enough to supply tho homo market.

That, Mr. Democrat, is a result of Republican protection. It is a achieved in spite of Democratic falsehoods and sneering predictions of failure. It is a result of legislating in the interest of America and Americans. If there were such a thing as shame in the Democratic party, it would haug its head at the growth of this infant Blade.

In those days tbe "Trovatoro" was cot an old fashioned opera. It was not "thrashed out," to borrow the vigorous German phrase. Wagner had not eclipsed melody with "tono poetry" nor made wen feel mote than they could hear. Many of the great things of this century ending had not been done then nor oven dreamed of, and even musicians listened vatore" with pleasure, not dreaming of the untried strength that lay waiting in Verdi's vast reserve. It was then tho music of youth.

To us it seems but tho music of childhood. Many of us cannot listen to Manrico's death song from the tower without hearing tho grind organ upon which its passion has grown so pathetically poor. But one could understand that music. The mere statement that it was comprehensible raises a smile today. It appealed to simple feelings.

Wo are no longer satisfied with such simplicity, and oven long for powers that do not appeal, but twist us with something stronger than our hardened selves, unti) we ourselves appeal to the unknown in a sort of despairing ecstasy of unsatisfied do- light, asking of possibility to stretch itself out to the impossible.

No doubt the gentlemen engaged in. the business of manufacturing glass, glne, lumber or varnish wonld-like to secure their raw material free jnst as President Sextro is anxious to secure his free raw material. And incidentally, it might be suggested that office furniture and fittings are considered a part of the raw material which are necessary adjuncts in tho business of making glass, glue, lumber and varnish.

Will President Sextro supply those engaged in the other industries with free office furniture? The furniture business uses in all $48,553,581 worth of raw material in the course of a year, while the others use nearly eight times as much. The total value of the whole furniture prod- net is but $118,760,974 as against a product value of $678,774,791 as the output of the factories engaged in making glass, glne, lumber and varnish, as can be seen from the following statemeat: Cost of Valneof Material.

This is tho greatest scheme for "tho robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few" that we have ever heard of.

It is a species of "the culminating atrocity of class legislation" that could have had birth only in tho mind of a Sextro or through the greed of a Godkin or some other leading free trader. It embodies the creation of such a monopoly and class distinction as tho Eepublican party never advocated, never suggested and was never narrow minded enough to listen to.
