THE JUMBO DISTRICT.<br />
Present Law of the Land at to Men<br />
and Measures.<br />
Dallas News.<br />
rort Worth, Tex,, Dec. 8. Hon.<br />
s. P. Hardwickc of Abilene is here<br />
to-da- It will be remembered that<br />
in the famous contest between<br />
Cockrell and Dean for congress in<br />
the thirteenth district last year he<br />
was the manager from start to 'finish<br />
of the Cockrell forces. How well he<br />
performed his task is forcibly evidenced<br />
by the f.ict that his man now<br />
holds down the job, even though no<br />
nomination could be made, and an<br />
:ippcal to the voters of the district resulted.<br />
Conversing with the News<br />
reporter about the situation in that<br />
district Mr. Hardwickc said:<br />
"it is about settled that Judge<br />
Cockrell will retire at the end of his<br />
term, and of course we hear a great<br />
deal of talk touching his successor.<br />
The present indications are that<br />
there will be no dearth of first-clas- s<br />
material from which to make a selection.<br />
Names of good men arc<br />
freely mentioned from all portions of<br />
the district, but as to whether or not<br />
they will become avowed candidate<br />
later on remains to be seen. The<br />
people ot the district who vote the<br />
democratic ticket are divided over<br />
the silver question, and this will in<br />
all probability, be quite a factor in<br />
the contest of next year. The populists<br />
are numerous in the thirteenth<br />
district, a fact plainly disclosed by<br />
the vote cast for the populist congressional<br />
nominee of last year.<br />
With united democracy we can whip<br />
the populist, but with a division in<br />
our party ranks the result is not so<br />
certain. I think that with the<br />
the new year politics will be<br />
lively in the Jumbo district."<br />
Hon. J. L. Stephenson of Abilene<br />
says: "I can't tell you who will be<br />
the successor in congress of Judge<br />
J. V. Cockrell. Tns hera of aspirants<br />
is unusually large this year, and<br />
in cow-bo- y parlance will be 'hard to<br />
cut.' In Abilene we have much<br />
good materiil, and as that city is the<br />
largest in the district save El Paso,<br />
and has never furnished a man lor<br />
any important place save a legislator<br />
for one term, it certainly would not<br />
be asking too much to let us into the<br />
herd. Among the gool congressional<br />
timber in our city can be mention<br />
ed Fred Cockrell, S. P. Hardwicke,<br />
K. K.. Leggett, John Howycr, Henry<br />
Sayles, C. W. Merchant, Col. Otto<br />
W. StelVms and others. The prospective<br />
aspirants for congression il<br />
honors are at all the shipping points<br />
ready to be loaded. At Sweetwater<br />
Representative lteall's ftiends are<br />
mentioning him, while at Colorado<br />
City is a bunch ol fine fellows who<br />
stand high in the scale. Smith and<br />
Loony being the most prominently<br />
named. Judge V. H. Cowan of<br />
Midland is also named, as is Senator<br />
11. D. Gage of Pecos City. Coming<br />
back this way we find J.<br />
H. Calhound and Hon. C. U. Cone-le- e<br />
at Eastland, and Gen. F. W.<br />
James oi liaird. Mind you I don't<br />
say any of these men are candidates,<br />
but their friends feel that each<br />
would grace the congressional hall at<br />
Washington."<br />
Others here to-da- y, discussing the<br />
prospective candidates in the thirteenth<br />
district lor the democratic<br />
nomination, mention Judge T. A.<br />
Buckler, Senator J. M. Dean and<br />
Judge T. A. Falvey of El Paso;<br />
Judge J. A. Patterson, Hon. K. E.<br />
Carswell and Hon. T. J. McMurray<br />
of Decatur, Judge L. C. Barrett,<br />
Hon, A. K.. Swan, Mayor W. A.<br />

<strong>Haskell</strong>, <strong>Haskell</strong> County, Texas, Saturday, Dee. 14, <strong>1895</strong>.<br />
Again the populists arc said to be<br />
"awfully" awake in all that section<br />
and it is already a settled fact that<br />
the next standard barer of the democracy<br />
in the district will have no<br />
walkover; indeed, many have grave<br />
doubts about his success. The peo-pi- c<br />
of the state can watch the thirteenth<br />
another year for lively times<br />
are already assured there.<br />
The charge is already being made<br />
by some that the heretofore rampant<br />
16 to 1 silvcrites are endeavoring to<br />
have that heretofore live issue dropped.<br />
Some idea of this is gleaned<br />
from the following additional utter<br />
ance of Hon. J. L Stepenson of Ab<br />
ilene to the News rsporter to-da-<br />
Said he:<br />
"I have not taken any stand on<br />
the financial question because I do<br />
nof regard it as the paramount issue,<br />
and because I do not want so much<br />
agitation. I believe the thirteenth<br />
is a free silver district, and I doubt<br />
if any other kind will ever be cut<br />
out of the herd from it."<br />
There are numerous sound money<br />
democrats in the district, however,<br />
who take a widely different view of<br />
matters, anu who assert that they<br />
are in the majority. As before stated<br />
the fight bids fair to be a memori-abl- e<br />
one, both in point of the number<br />
and ability of the aspirants, and the<br />
expected contest over the formation<br />
of a platform. Another thing that<br />
bids fair to increase interest in the<br />
outcome is thatat about every section<br />
in the district will go to the convention<br />
with .1 platform expression<br />
in support of a local measure. El<br />
Paso always has demands to enforce<br />
and, again, there are those who desire<br />
the removal of the federal court<br />
now at Graham to some point on the<br />
line of the railway, In this district<br />
also are many sheepmen who feel<br />
that the time to assert them:clves is<br />
at hand. It is a fact much commented<br />
on he.re that the recent letter<br />
of Major E. W. Cave of Houston<br />
in the News found hearty indorsement<br />
in many portions of the district.<br />
Again, matters of interest to the El<br />
Paso section are antagonistic to the<br />
extreme eistern and northern sec-ti- o<br />
s. while the central portion of<br />
the district has but little in common<br />
with either.<br />
The chairman of the district democracy<br />
is Hon. W. A. Squires of<br />
Henrietta, a straight supporter of the<br />
present national financial policy. In<br />
all sections of the district there exists<br />
a desire for a straight-ou- t expression<br />
by platform on all questions<br />
of interest to it, and already discussion<br />
is active touching these matters.<br />
It is expected that the contest will<br />
open in dead earnest shortly alter<br />
the holidays.<br />
Roumania, the valley of the Danube<br />
and the country about the Black<br />
sea are developing into important<br />
corn growing sections, and are beginning<br />
to compete with the United<br />
States in that staple.<br />
The republicans hold a decisive<br />
majority in the lo.ver house of congress,<br />
while in the Senate there is a<br />
tie between the republicans and<br />
democrats leaving the balance of<br />
power in the hands of a few populist<br />
members.<br />
The Motley county Journal states<br />
that a Fort Worth party who is interested<br />
in the Fort Worth and Albuquerque<br />
railroad project has purchased<br />
fifty town lots in Matador,<br />
paying $f 000 for them. The road<br />
can't get to Matador withor; making<br />
a detour or running over <strong>Haskell</strong>.<br />
Nine "prairie schooners" containing<br />
fifty-tw- o persons passed in front<br />
df the News oihce yesterdry going<br />
west. The people all came from<br />
Madison county, Ark., and were en<br />
route to Bell county, where they will<br />
settle down a farmers and aid in<br />
the rapid development of Texas. In<br />
the last three weiks sod wagons<br />
with an aggregate of aooo people<br />
have passed west on Commerce<br />

We believe that .the outlook for<br />
<strong>Haskell</strong> county is better now than<br />
ever before. As in all new and undeveloped<br />
countries many of the peculiarities<br />
of its soil, climate and<br />
seasons were unknown to the people<br />
who first cast their lot in it and it<br />
has taken years of experimental work<br />
with many disappointments and failures<br />
of a more or less various nature<br />
for the farmer to learn whcn,how and<br />
what to plant and cultivate. During<br />
this perioJ of trial juite number have<br />
uecome discouraged and gone away,<br />
but others have filled their places<br />
and thoie who have pcfae.cred, believing<br />
there was a way to success.<br />
are now well satisfied with the result<br />
of their efforts: they believe that<br />
they have mastered the situation;<br />
have solved the myster of what, how<br />
and when to plant and cultivate in<br />
order to be sure of an ample and<br />
profitable harvest. The catalogue<br />
of what to plont is nofca nigardl)<br />
one, it embraces a larg enough list<br />
of fruits, vegetables, forage and<br />
sta-pi- e<br />
crops to permit of a wide diversity<br />
of crops and a pleasing variety<br />
of home luxuries. There is no theorizing<br />
by the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>Press</strong> in these<br />
statements; they are based on the<br />
statements of our most reliable and<br />
prosperous farmers the men whose<br />
energy and pluck have conquered<br />
the situation and blazed th: way and<br />
made it comparatively easy for those<br />
who are to follow, hence we say the<br />
outlook for rapid settlement and de<br />
velopment of the country is better-no-<br />
- th .n ever before, and that those<br />
who come soon enough to get the<br />
advantage of choice location and low<br />
prices will be the fortunate ones.<br />
If any tendency is more marked<br />
than another in latter day agriculture<br />
it is for the farmer to confine his<br />
operations to a restricted number' of<br />
acres. No man who reads or thinks<br />
or observes can fail to see that the<br />
bes; profit rn.iift.in these days grow<br />
out of concentration of culture on<br />
reduced acres. There are a large<br />
number of people now whose profits<br />
per a re are running up into the<br />
hundreds of dollars, but these people<br />
in every case are operating on<br />
contracted acreage. The hop growers<br />
in New York, the fruit growers in<br />
California, the celry grower, the potato<br />
grower and small fruit grower in<br />
many other parts of the country, are<br />
examples of what nViy be done<br />
through concentration. The ofd idea<br />
of it being necessary for a successful<br />
farmer to own all the lands adjoining<br />
him has exploded, and it is demon-stnte- d<br />
beyond a question that the<br />
wor.t kind of agricultural poverty is<br />
to be land poor. Thousands of men<br />
are land poor to dav, too, who would<br />
make money by selling their surplus<br />
land even helov vh it they think it<br />
is worth and concentrating on a<br />
smaller acriag-;- . Exrlunne.<br />

M. U.<br />
He Outiot the 2Iule- -<br />
Exchange.<br />
As the road turned around the hill<br />
I came upon a mule and a cart and<br />
a man. The wheels of the cart had<br />
sunk down into a mudhole, and the<br />
mule stood with his head down and<br />
ears lazily working to and fro. As<br />
for the man, he lay on his back in<br />
the shade of a tree and seemed to<br />
be taking solid comfort.<br />
"What's the matter," I asked as<br />
he sat up and looked at me.<br />
"Mewl has balked," he slowly replied.<br />
"You mean that he has refused<br />
to pull the cart out of the mud."<br />
"Zact.y."<br />
"Hut it's a big load and a small<br />
mule," I urged. "Why don't you<br />
give him some help?"<br />
"It's agin my principles. I've<br />
yelled at him and I've licked him<br />
till I'm tired, but I'll be do-gonif<br />
I take anything o:T that load or<br />
boost that cart! No, sah we stay<br />
right here till the pesky critter gsts<br />
up and humps hisself and pulls that<br />
cart out o' the mud."<br />
"Then you are not in a hurry." I<br />
querried.<br />
"No, sah, no hurry 'tall he replied,<br />
as he hitched back to get more<br />
shade. "My son Dan is pluwin' out<br />
the corn with the cow, the old woman<br />
is fixin' up the fences, and I've<br />
a gallon of whis'iy and .1 poind of<br />
terbacco in the cart. It's a question<br />
of bein sot, and if I can't stay sot<br />
longer'n a $3 mewl then I'd better<br />
move out of Alabama."<br />
Five days later I met the man at<br />
Greenville and asked him how the<br />
"sotness" came out.<br />
"Oh! yes!" he replied with a grin.<br />
"Wall, I camped right thar, fur two<br />
days and nights, a singing hymns<br />
and restin' up and bavin' a good<br />
time, and then that mewl, a seein'<br />
that when it come down to sotness<br />
he warn't in it with me, tool; right<br />
holt and pulled that cart outer the<br />
mud and galloped all the way home.<br />

In his tenth annual report, devoted<br />
to strikes and lockouts, which has Just<br />

commissioner of labor, computes that<br />
the loss to employes in establishments<br />
In which lockouts and strikes occurred<br />
during the thirteen and a half years<br />
ending June 20, 1S91, amounted to $U"0,-493,38- 2,<br />
and to employers to JS1.&23.S37.<br />
The loss to employes on account of<br />
strikes was $1C3,S0".SG6, and on account<br />
of lockouts, J2G.6S3.51C, to employers on<br />
acount of strikes, $S2,;90,3SG; and on ac-<br />

without the disturbances the works<br />
would have been run continually. This<br />
is a fallacy. Most of such institutions<br />
shut down frequently, to allow the sup-<br />

The nusslan Minister of Finance has<br />

project, which Minister Wltte deter- -<br />
mined to execute soon after he took<br />
office in 1&92. The purpose has been<br />
steadily prosecuted, despite the ob-<br />

the corporations soon ceased to offer<br />
resistance which could not be of avail.<br />

A report from London says: "The<br />

Ol'XD VALLEY Is<br />
the wildest part ot<br />
K, Cal. The mountains<br />
round about It are<br />
--r almost Inaccessible,<br />
r.-y- u<br />
and the ranchers<br />
and cowboys who<br />
make up its popula-<br />
tion are wild and<br />
lawless. Hvery man<br />
stnnds on his own<br />
merits, the chief merit being the quick<br />
eye and the steady hand of the dead<br />
shot. The great ranchers of this region<br />
arc George White and Vcs Palmer. For<br />
several years hardly a week passed<br />
without a free fight between parties of<br />
their covvbo.vs, either In the streets of<br />
Covelo or In the mountain wilds.<br />
,<br />
The head vaquero for White was Jim<br />
Vinton: the head vnqurro for Palmer<br />
was Jack Llttlefield. Both were fear-les- s<br />
men, renowned for strength, hore- -<br />
jmanshlpand skill with Winchester nt,l<br />
revolver. Hut Jack Llttlefield was<br />
heroic. His friends loved him<br />
'and admired him, his enemies feared<br />
him. Ho was not the man to shoot<br />
from ambush. Even when ho was<br />
drunk he always fought fair. He<br />
would go after the wandering cattle<br />
where other men dared not go. He<br />
would attack and conquer the fiercest<br />
of steers in those wild mountain herds.<br />
One day at Covelo he was druuk. and a<br />
hwge fellow, nearly twice his size, did<br />
something which Llttlefield took as an<br />
Via1 ' .ifiillij a it?.. BBBBBBBBBBBSkX<br />
IP i- - - iiHliB<br />
ill i; ul hMl<br />
a Sgffm<br />
Insult. Despite the difference In Elze<br />
Jack leaped at him and struck hlra In<br />
me lace.<br />
"I can't take this up," said the big<br />
man, looking down at him, "I'm not<br />
armed."<br />
"Oh, you want shooting?" said Llttle-<br />
field, and he drew out two navy re-<br />
volvers. "Take your choice and back<br />
down the street." The big man re-<br />
fused.<br />
They all know the story old George<br />
Gwynn told nbout Jack. Gwynn had a<br />
pretty daughter, who loved Jack as<br />
much as Jack loved h"r. The old man<br />
forbade him the house, and Jack went<br />
up there ono dark night to carry the<br />
girl off. "But I was on tho lookout,"<br />
said the old man afterward. "It was<br />
pretty dark, but I made him out, and<br />
shot at him from the "window. Ho<br />
stopped bis horse and sat still and let<br />
mo pop at him. And pretty soon he lit<br />
his pipe. The wind was blowing, nnd<br />
It took several matches. And every<br />
every time the match Hashed I shot.<br />
If he didn't keep on striking 'urn<br />
and sitting there till I got tired of<br />
shooting. Then he rode away."<br />
Many a fight, single-hande- d or at<br />
the head of a wild party of Palmer's<br />
men, did Jack have with White's vnque-ro- s.<br />
And as ho always came out ahead,<br />
a dozen of White's men hated him with<br />
a Jealous, mortified fury that could only<br />
bo appeased by his death. Botwen<br />
him and his employer, "Vot" Palmer,<br />
there was a irl"ndshlp Hko that of<br />
David and Jonathan, a friendship based<br />
upon the things thev had endured to-<br />
gether and the memory of the tight<br />
places in which each had saved tho<br />
other.<br />
Tho great cause of the love and devo-<br />
tion of LVIefield for Palmer ond tho<br />
chief cause of the tragedy In this story<br />
was the fight between Jack and Joo<br />
Greggory, up In the Ked mountain coun-<br />
try, Greggory Is a White vaquero. He<br />
nnd several of his frlewls met Palmer<br />
and Llttlefield. A quarrel arono be-<br />
tween Greggory and Llttlefield, nnd. In<br />
a fair fist fight, Llttlefield knocked<br />
Greggory out. As Jack turned to nt<br />
his horse, Greggory sprang upon<br />
him with a long knife and stabbed him<br />
again and again In the shoulders, arms<br />
and face. Palmer Jumped nt Greggory<br />
and, by tho strength that fury gavo<br />
him, wrenched his knife away, beat<br />
and kicked him Into Insensibility and<br />
then pitched his body Into a deep can-<br />
yon. Then ho took up his bleeding<br />
friend, carried him to the nearest camp,<br />
tnd sent swift messengers for the doc-to- r,<br />

, X frJnd v.ro together In this pur- -<br />
pose. Tho morning at Sept. 25 Llttle-<br />
field went away to Windy Hldge to<br />
look after some cattle. From there ho<br />
went on five miles to the northwest to<br />
lead out n wild steer from Hod Moun-<br />
tain creek. Soon after he disappeared<br />
In that direction Joe Vinton, White's<br />
head vaquero, enme along Windy Hltlge,<br />
riding to the southeast, exactly tho op-<br />
posite direction to that In which LU-tlfie- ld<br />
had gone.<br />
A mile and a half from Tom Hay-den- 's<br />
house, some one In ambush shot<br />
Vinton In the breast. Vinton says It<br />
was Llttlefield. Hut there are plenty<br />
of rellnble witnesses to prove that Vin-<br />
ton cither lied or was mistaken. At<br />
any rate, Vinton lay Insensible for an<br />
hour and then, coming to his senses,<br />
crawled through the bushes to Hay-den- 's<br />
cabin. Next day he sent a note<br />
Into Covelo to John Kohrbough, White's<br />
overseer. Here Is the note:<br />
"I have been knocked over. Send<br />
men to take care of cattle. Send a<br />
doctor. Tell Lady I've been shot<br />
through and through. VINTON."<br />
"Lady" was old man Shore's daugh-<br />
ter. Clara, to whom Joe Vinton was en-<br />
gaged. With the doctor came Clara<br />
Shore, and at the last reports she was<br />
still nursing him. His wound was not<br />
fatal. The bullet went through his<br />
left breast. Upon the heels of the doc-<br />
tor came a pose from the sheriff's of-<br />
fice mad" up of enemies of Jack Llttle-<br />
field. Not a man in it that had not<br />
some grudge against him. Only one<br />
was a regular constable Hayllss Van<br />
Horn. There were Joe firecgory, who<br />
had sworn to kill Llttlefield, and Jack<br />
Crow, and Buck Lacock nnd Fred Had-cllff- e,<br />
and Cord Van Horn and Jim<br />
Simmons.<br />
The morning of the second day after<br />
Vinton was shot this party, with the<br />
exception of Jim Simmons, rode away<br />
from Hayden's to arrest Llttlefield.<br />
Simmons had disappeared In the night,<br />
and Tom Haydon himself rode with<br />
the party In his stead. About noon<br />
r Vvi, j<br />
"<br />
n<br />
ruu i.i<br />
J<br />
Llttlefield and two of his assistant<br />
vaqueros Wllburn and young Wathen<br />
were eating down on the bank of<br />
Hull's creek. Up the trail came Con-<br />
stable Van Horn and Jack Crow. As<br />
soon as they reached the three men alt-tin- g<br />
In the grass Vr-- Horn said:<br />
"Throw up your hands. Jack!"<br />
"I won't throw up ray hands for any<br />
man on the face of the earth, Bayliss<br />
Van Horn," retorted Jack. "But if you<br />
want my gun, take It."<br />
Van Horn took Jack's gun, told him<br />
for w hat he was arrester and asked him<br />
to come along. Jack Llttlefield laughed<br />
at the Idea that he had ambushed a<br />
man, mounted his horse and was ready.<br />
Wllburn nnd Wathen watched him un<br />
til ho disappeared from sight around<br />
the turn In the fall. He was un-<br />
armed and was riding between Van<br />
Horn and Crow.<br />
About three hours after this Van<br />
Horn and Crow, riding alone, were ford-<br />
ing Ked .Mountain creek. Walter<br />
Clark, a half-bree- d, met them. Van<br />
Horn told him how twenty men had<br />
swooped down upon them a few mile<br />
back and had shot and killed Llttlefield,<br />
Next morning before the news of Little-field'- s<br />
death had got Into Covelo, Crow,<br />
Simmons and Greggory rode into Cove-<br />
lo and Crow went to Louree's saloon.<br />
The place was full of Llttleileld's<br />
friends. Crow ordered a drink and, as<br />
ho drank, put his back to the bar. As<br />
he raised tho glass he rulsed his re-<br />
volver. "Kxeuse me," he said, aa he<br />
put the empty glass down, "but I was<br />
afraid some of you fellows might think<br />
you wanted me."<br />
Next day tho coroner nnd a Jury, com-<br />
posed of Llttlefield's enemies, the very<br />
men of the constable's party, rode up<br />
to find Llttlefield's body. It was hang-<br />
ing to a tree, boots and spurs on. The<br />
verdict was, "Jack Llttlefield was shot<br />
and put to death on this date." On<br />
man suggested that they make a box for<br />
the burial, Greggory mid: "No funeral<br />
nonsense; hlu!" Greggory pointed<br />
to several scars en the dead face and<br />
said: "Do you see those? I did that<br />
and he carried them to his grave,"<br />
They dug a shallow hole two feet<br />
deep and tossed the body into it.<br />
Llttlefield's friends demanded un In-<br />
vestigation. They rodo up there and,<br />
Instead of finding traces of twenty men,<br />
found whero tbrco jien on horesback<br />
bad stood their Jiorcrj for quite a while<br />

HK French foreign<br />
office has lcccntly<br />
Issued n. report on<br />
a socialistic experi-<br />
ment begun two<br />
years ngo In Para-<br />
guay. Tho Para-<br />
guayan government<br />
conceded to a col-<br />
ony of discouraged<br />
Australians Just<br />
gone through the<br />
panic of 1S93 a rich tract of 000 square<br />
miles on the Itlver Tiblquari upon con-<br />
dition that within six years 1,200 immi-<br />
grant families should be settled there,<br />
sayfl the New York Sun. Colonists pie-sent-<br />
themselves lit large numbers,<br />
nnd $150,000 was raised In subscriptions<br />
of $300 each. Any colonist withdraw-<br />
ing from tho scheme was to lose all.<br />
The settlement was baptized In New<br />
Australia In advance. The colonists<br />
arrived upon tho giound In September,<br />
1S93, and found themselves In a wilder-<br />
ness. Tiblquari pioved to be a miser-<br />
able llttlo stream, dry half tho year,<br />
nnd in the wet season navigable only<br />
iu llntbonts.<br />
Equality of pay for all was tho prin-<br />
ciple of the organizitlon, and each was<br />
to live upon the goods of the commu-<br />
nity. Tho nbiogation of all authority<br />
was declared by the constitution ot tho<br />
colony, but the managers took upon<br />
themselves 'the right to regulate the<br />
community and to exclude without the<br />
formality of n vote drunkards and<br />
Idlers. They also surrounded them-<br />
selves with a strong police force.<br />
Tho colony at once divided Itself Into<br />
two camps. One supported tho ener-<br />
getic, though very moderately Intelli-<br />
gent, old man that made himself mas-<br />
ter of the colony. The other, made up<br />
of dissidents, eventually quit the colony<br />
nnd returned to Villa Klca, the port of<br />
debarkation. This took eighty-fiv- e per-<br />
sons from the community. They re-<br />
ported that mutual fear and incessant<br />
btrlfo made Now Australia an Inferno<br />
rather than n paradise. The dissidents<br />
were on the point of returning to Aus-<br />
tralia In great distress when the Para-gua- n<br />
government conceded to them a<br />
new territory In the department or<br />
Gonzales. Here they began to prosper,<br />
though with small regard to the orig-<br />
inal principles of the colony.<br />
Meanwhile there had occurred a<br />
second schism In the colony at New<br />
Australia. This time the directors<br />
yielded to the schismatics, and, with 50<br />
companions, settled in another part of<br />
the country. What waB left of the orig-<br />
inal colony was a prey to continual<br />
bickering, and In September, 1V.M.<br />
twenty-fiv- e colonists went to lluonnj<br />
Ayres, where they became a charge<br />
upon the public charities. Those left<br />
behind reorganized tho community and<br />
dropped the socialistic feattires. They<br />
chose for leaders the men they took to<br />
be the most Intelligent nnd broad-minde- d,<br />
nnd settled down with tho de-<br />
termination to succeed by tho use of<br />
the best agricultural methods, without<br />
attempting to present to the world a<br />
society formed upon tho socialistic<br />
ideal.<br />

Mr. Harris, a large and robust man,<br />

"Oillcer," said ho, "you have doubt-<br />

"Doesn't btrike you," Mr. Harris<br />
"as deeply deplorablo that<br />

The officer said It surely was a shame.<br />

SHE SAVED HER NEW GOWN<br />
!rrto Mritinrm ltrnnrtril to ljr a<br />
Valine Wife.<br />
Dwellers In n certain quiet residence<br />
street on the north side aro ti<br />
good story of the dllcmum In which<br />
one of them, n young wife, found her-<br />
self not long ngo, and the timing man-<br />
ner In which she extricated hrrsclf<br />
therefrom. She has been mnrrled but<br />
a few mouths, nnd has not jet got over<br />
the delight of doing most of her own<br />
housework, her only help being n wo-<br />
man who comes once or twice n week<br />
to do the heavy cleaning, washing, etc.<br />
The other day her dressmaker sent<br />
home a handsome, nice gown. It was<br />
a perfect fit, and the young wifo de-<br />
termined to don It and make a few<br />
calls. It Is her custom on such occa-<br />
sions, before dressing, to lock the back<br />
door, secrete the key on the side parch,<br />
and leave tho house by tho front door,<br />
has a spring lock. This she did<br />
as usual on the day in question, after<br />
which she the house by tho<br />
porch door and put tho finishing<br />
touches to her costume. Arraved In<br />
the pretty nnd becoming garment nnd<br />
wearing a jaunty llttlo hat which<br />
charmlugly set off her general gct-u- p,<br />
she stepped out of tho fiont door and<br />
pulled It to behind her, but unfortu-<br />
nately caught a bunch of her gown<br />
tho door. With as near nn approach to<br />
a naughty word as a strictly proper<br />
young woman generally allows herself<br />
she gave n smart pull at her gown, but<br />
found t hat It could not be released un-tor- n.<br />
The little woman looked despair-<br />
ingly up nnd down the street for help.<br />
Not a soul was In sight. A hurried<br />
glance at her watch showed that It was<br />
later than she had expected, for Hko<br />
the daughters of Hve In general she had<br />
spent moie tims at her toilet than she<br />
had to spare.<br />
There was only one thing to do, and<br />
In an Instant she had made up her<br />
mind to do It. She proceeded to undo<br />
the hooks nnd buttons and to get out<br />
of the dress. Her plan was to hurry<br />
round to the back door, get the key,<br />
enter, and, opening the front door from<br />
within, Fccure the dress. She was Just<br />
stepping out of the garment when, look-<br />
ing up, she discovered that tho quiet<br />
street was livelier than had ever be-<br />
fore been known In Its history.<br />
number of women In a house near by<br />
had suspended their labors and were<br />
gazing upon the scene: grocery nnd<br />
milk wagons had stopped In the street.<br />
and a stra passer-b- y or two were agog<br />
watching the strange demonstrations<br />
of tho woman on the front porch. This<br />
embarrassing situation did not make<br />
her flnsers any the more nimble, but at<br />
last the ultimate button was unlosscd<br />
nnd away she went, a vanishing vision<br />
In white, around the corner of tho<br />
house. The gown was released from<br />
tho grasp of the front door nnd half<br />
nn hour later, the street having by that<br />
time resumed Its normal appearance,<br />
tho young wifo re.ippenrcd more radi-<br />
ant than ever, and an unusual amount<br />
of color In her cheeks and an unmis-<br />
takable<br />
I<br />
gleam of triumph In her eye.<br />
Her husband nearly laughed himself<br />
Into a fit when told by his wife of her<br />
experience. The story was too good to<br />
keep, and has finally percolated through<br />
a small circle cf acquaintance.).<br />

The Iown Agricultural Experiment<br />
Untlon hns Issued n very timely and<br />
tntunbto bulletin, detailing an experi-<br />
ment In feeding cotton-scc- d meal to<br />
hogo. Th? experiment was conducted<br />
by P:of. Curtlss. In February he se-<br />
lected fiom n bunch of twenty-llv- o fif-<br />
teen Poland-China- s, the lot weighing<br />
1.4S0 pounds. They had nil been<br />
grown together. They were divided in-<br />
to five lots of threo pigs each, and<br />
after two weeks of preliminary feed-<br />
ing lot 1 was put on n ration of corn<br />
and cob meal, and buttermilk; lot il,<br />
corn and cob meal, cotton seed meal<br />
and buttermilk; lot 3, the si me, except<br />
that the amount of cottonseed meal<br />
was double that of lot 2; lot 4. corn and<br />
cob meal, gliii meal anil butter-<br />
milk; lot 5, corn nnd cob meal, cut clov-<br />
er hay and buttermilk. The pigs all<br />
nindo very rapid gains, those being on<br />
tho ration of cottonseed with other<br />
feed making nn average daily cain of<br />
1.4 pounds.<br />
The experimenters arrived at tho<br />
conclusion thnt cottonseed meal Is fa-<br />
tal to hogs wnen fed In sufilclcnt quan-<br />
tity, the totnl amount required to prove<br />
fatal being In this case from 27 to<br />
33 pounds per hog. Hogs in this ex-<br />
periment were fed without Injury for<br />
seventeen weeks following cattle that<br />
were fed from four to seven pounds of<br />
cottonseed meal per head dally.<br />
Cottonseed meal added to n corn nnd<br />
cob meal ration for hog3 materially<br />
Increased and cheapened tho gains<br />
I over corn and cob meal alone.<br />
Cut clover hay added to ii corn and<br />
cob meal ration and soaked twelve<br />
hours before feeding gavo no advan-<br />
tage In gain over corn and cob meal<br />
alone.<br />
n U not llkeiy that much cottonseed<br />
meal will be fed while corn and wheat<br />
are so cheap; but the Information<br />
brought out in this bulletin will bo<br />
useful In years when tho price of corn<br />
is high enough to Justify the profita-<br />
ble Use of cottonseed meal.<br />

In preparing horses for sale, says a<br />
writer, good conditions make a great<br />
difference. It should be honestly done;<br />

reason why tho owner of n horse who<br />
desires to sell It should not put It In<br />

For this purposo many horsemen use<br />
modcrato quanltles of flaxseed Jelly:<br />
somo employ steamed oil meal. If<br />
moderately fed, these assist In diges-<br />
tion nnd keep tho bowels In good con-<br />
dition, putting on a glossy coat, while,<br />
when moderately fed. oil meal adds<br />
in the formation of fat. It. of Itself,<br />
is a muscle making feed. Many a hard<br />
working horse would bo all tho better<br />
lor a handful of oil meal at night.<br />
even whero there Is no intention of<br />
putting him in sale condition. By Ju-<br />
dicious individual feeding of goofl<br />
grain, with oil meal, a bunch of horses,<br />
even when bomewhat run down, can<br />
oo put in sale condition in from bix to<br />
eight weeks. Thero is not much use<br />
in trying to get a Kood nrlce for these<br />
horses, nor Is thero much business<br />
tense In letting them go for what thoy<br />
will bring, letting somebody el&o make<br />

To test the relatlvo merits of crushed<br />
vs. whole oats In feeding horses, oao<br />
of tho great London omnibus compa-<br />
nies semo ear-- s ago conducted an In-<br />
teresting expel Iment, says tho Farm-<br />
er's Advocate. Of the C.000 horses in<br />
the company's employment, one-ha- lf<br />
were fed on crushed oats and cut bay<br />
nnd straw and tbe other half on wholo<br />
oats nnd hay. Tho ration allowed per<br />
day to eaci. borse, according to the<br />
ono system, wa Crushed oats, 10 lbs.;<br />
cut hay, Vt lbs.; C"t straw, 2' lbs.<br />
Tho quantity according o the old sys-<br />
tem was: Wholo oats, 19 lbs.; uncut<br />
hay, 13 lbs. A daily saving cr Z Jba<br />
of food was thus effected, and this tak-<br />
ing waa not merely In the quantity, but<br />
In the value of the materials employed,<br />
for Btraw In tho former case was sub<br />
Btuuteu ior nay i the latter. Tho nd<br />
?'nnlaj0 of on? k,na of feeding over<br />
the other was far more apparent when<br />
reduced to money value. Tho saving<br />
by using tho crushed oats and cut hay<br />
was nearly 2d per day for each horse<br />
which was equal to CC2 10s per day for<br />
the C.000 horses. And this saving was<br />
accomplished without any cacrlflco<br />
whatever, for all tho drivers nnd thoso<br />
having chargo of tho horses agreed<br />
that tho difference in the horses was<br />
decidedly In favor of those fed oa<br />
crushed oats and cut hay and straw.<br />
Rich Eggs. Fggs from hens that aro<br />
fed largely on slops and refuse aro not<br />
ns good for cooking purposes ac .hoso<br />
which aro laid by hens having a liberal<br />
ration of corn or wheat, v,<br />
News, and of tho two corn makes tho<br />
richest egg. as It adds to the fat con-ten- ts<br />
and gives the contents of tho<br />
shell a consistency that makes It sno-clal- ly<br />
valuable for baking and kindred<br />
uecs. A meat ration also adds to tho<br />
valun of tho eggs, and it Is becnuso<br />
ducks aro such ravenous hunters of<br />
frogs nnd tho many Insects on land and<br />
water that their egSs aro preferred to<br />
nil others by bakers and confectioners<br />
Guinea eggs are specially rich In this<br />
quality, and are better for baking and<br />
making Icing than those of almost any<br />
other fowl. The production of good<br />
eggs Is a comparatively new idea and<br />
it has not been discussed half as much<br />
aa its merits deserve that it should be.<br />

CHAPTER XIV. ICoNTINfcn.<br />
He made a sltn to Johnxtone, who<br />
tiok Dlfk In his arms nnd swung him<br />
lightly down the compnnlon-hntc- h like<br />
a bundle of hammock. In two min-<br />
ute he was In his old neat at the end<br />
of the table in the saloon, with his<br />
ankles fast to the chair, which In Its<br />
turn was screwed Into the lloor. For<br />
a line time he did not move, lie had<br />
llt'le hope left now, but he steeled lilm-5-- 1'<br />
i j wait with patience. If any un-- f<br />
in-e- chance might yet Klve him Ids<br />
opportunity. The sunset gun was heard<br />
fr m the shore: it grew rapidly dark.<br />
Jj, nt ne entered to light the lamp;<br />
In li.s hand was a heavy iron capstan<br />
liar<br />
lie l.ild It down upon the table, with<br />
the 1' tt;r beside it.<br />
There's your choice," he said,<br />
"All ilghti" said Dick, stoutly "I'm<br />
realy but you'll all bo, too. my man;<br />
y u'r.' lost without me."<br />
J ihnstone laughed brutally.<br />
'Don't you flatter yourself," he said.<br />
"Dead or alive, you'll do our business<br />
f jr us."<br />
Dick was silent.<br />
Look you here," said the other, "this<br />
J the way of It, nnd If you don't un-<br />
derstand It now, you'll never have the<br />
chance aBaln. The brls's standlns In<br />
straight for Jamestown: she's not three<br />
miles off at this moment: and tne nag-shlp- 's<br />

1 iri-at- Hut If vou're fool enough to be<br />
obstinate there's the colonel upon deck<br />
th re watching: when the guard-boa- t<br />
onus, he gives me a last signal one<br />
tw and before three's out your neck's<br />
br ke, and you lying quiet in the hold.<br />
Vad accident, gentlemen! An old friend<br />
of Sir I'ulteney's, too; nnd Just had .i<br />
letter written to him asking leave to<br />
ar hor; on his way to sign it when he<br />
Ml I'Vaps the admiral would let us<br />
bury him ashore tomorrow?" So either<br />
way we stand to win easy, d'ye see?"<br />
He did indeed sec. and that wltn a<br />
supreme anguish of bitterness. Jsot<br />
een by death was he to thwart them,<br />
r c'.ear his own name from dishonor.<br />
Hut ids conscience was without re-<br />
proach, nnd Camilla knew the truth:<br />
on these two thoughts he anchored him-<br />
self to meet the fury of his last Htorm.<br />
The moments fled. The colonel called<br />
Jjwn the hatchway that the boat had<br />
left the flag-shi- Camilla heard him<br />
Khout. and fell upon r.er knees beside<br />
a pinhole, gasping for air.<br />
A second time that Inexorable calm<br />
vol'v came down to the deck beIo.<br />
ffjhnstone took the Iron bar In his hand<br />
Th- - boat came alongside, and an of--<br />
ft voice shouted close to CamllH<br />
tainting head: "Hrl!; ahoy! Throw us<br />
a r pe there!"<br />
Dimly, as one In a dream of horror.<br />
siie heard the colonel's answer.<br />
""You needn't trouble to come on<br />
I iard," he called down. In his smooth<br />
est t nss. "This is the Seedwell, Cap- -<br />
tain Kstcourt. He Is an old friend of<br />
Adir.lr.il Malcolm and is Just writing<br />
t j him for leave to anchor. Johnitone!"<br />
h" fchouted, louder still, "ask the cap-<br />
tain If ids letter's re.tay."<br />
"Do you hear?" said Johnstone, bal-<br />
ancing the bar in both Ills hands.<br />
"There's the last signal. Now then-o- ne"<br />
The clear voice of the officer outside<br />
rang through the ship and drowned his<br />
words.<br />
"Estcourt!" It cried. "I'ass in, pass<br />
In! The Emperor's dead!"<br />
CHAITKIl XV.<br />
ILU.NCE followed<br />
the words, that<br />
.!' seemed as If It<br />
would last forever.<br />
r jf JUFk 1 It was as though<br />
WrinU C iWf that cry had<br />
s.'yysy sr stunned at one blow<br />
all on board the<br />
brig.<br />
At last the iron<br />
bar fell clanging<br />
frrqi Johnstone's<br />
hands upon the<br />
floor of the saloon, and Dick sprang up.<br />
struggling llercely in his fetters.<br />
"Camilla! Camilla!" he shouted. Sh<br />
beard his voice and awoke to life again,<br />
'trembling In every limb.<br />
"Off with these things!" he thundered.<br />
And Johnstone unlocked the Irons with-<br />
out a word.<br />
Dick took them In his bund and ran<br />
up the ladder. The lieutenant from the<br />
llag.shlp was In the act of springing<br />
on board. "Where Is Captain Est-cour- tr'<br />
he cried. "Are you ail asleep<br />
here?"<br />
The colonel glided before him, and<br />
lowered his voice to speak to Dick.<br />
"We are nil In your nands," lie said,<br />
hastily; "Camilla too, remember,<br />
among the rest."<br />
"No!" returned Dick, triumphantly.<br />

The lieutenant camo up ns he spoke.<br />
"Estcourt," he asked, "have you for-'gott-<br />
me?"<br />
"Not I, Wllmorel" cried Dick; "and<br />
J never shall, though I live to be a thou-aand- !"<br />
"Well said!" laughed the other. "Hut<br />
why am I so desperately In demand?"<br />
"Why, you'r In the nick of time. I<br />
was sborlhanded till you came, and<br />
Tve a pair of mutineers on board."<br />
"lllaht said Wllmore, And he called<br />
over the aide: "Bend three men aboard<br />

The colonel made a rush tor tno main<br />
hatch, calling to Johnstone for help.<br />
Pick caught him In time, and handed<br />
him over to the men from the llag-shl-<br />
giving them the Iron at the same time.<br />

nt a little distance from the Broup, peer-In- s<br />
about him In the lantcrn-llBh- t to see<br />
the position of nffalrs.<br />
Dick went up to him. "Here he Is!"<br />
he cried. "Johnstone, you're my prls-oner- !"<br />
Johnstone's right hand went swiftly<br />
to his pocket, but before he could grasp<br />
his pistol Dick's fist shot home be-<br />
tween his eyes, and he fell like a log.<br />
disappearing backward down the open<br />
hatchway.<br />
Two of the men-of-war- 's men ran<br />
down, nnd found him motionless at thi<br />
bottom of the ladder: they brought him<br />
on deck, and got n rope to secure him<br />
when he should come round.<br />
Hut ho never moved again; the fall<br />
broken his neck.<br />
"Well." said Dick, when they told him.<br />
"that seems only Just; he was the bet-<br />
ter of two bad men, and his punish-<br />
ment's the soonest over. As for the<br />
other," he continued, turning to Wlt-mor- e,<br />
"a quick death's too good fur Mm,<br />
and no prison would hold him long."<br />
He reflected a moment, and then<br />
turned to the capllvo and Iitr. guards.<br />
"Ilrlng him below," he paid, and lei<br />
the way to the siloon.<br />
In Dick's own Heat they placed the<br />
colonel, with Dick's own Irons upon<br />
him. and In his nand they made him<br />
take the pen with which ho had com-<br />
manded Dick to sign away his honor.<br />
"Now, If you will please leave u.s<br />
alone together," salil Dick to the oth-<br />
ers, "I dare say I shall soon have done<br />
with him."<br />
They went out wondering, and he<br />
turned to the prisoner.<br />
"Write the date," he said, shortly:<br />
"and now go on as I dictate to you:<br />
"'I hereby Acknowledge and confess<br />
that I conspired with one Herman<br />
Johnstone, since deceased, to effect the<br />
escape of the Emperor Naoleon from<br />
the Island of St. Helena on the uth of<br />
May. 1P2I, and to levy war asalnst thi:<br />
i klnB of Franco and the peace of<br />
Kurope; that for this purpose I bribed<br />
I the said He-ma- n Johnstone and the<br />
I crew of the brig Speedwell, four of<br />

slBter-In-la- Madame de Montaut, nnd<br />
faptnln Itlc.iard Kstcourt Jo accom-<br />
pany me. In complete Ignorance of the<br />
object of our voyage.' "<br />
The colonel stopped. "Hut .hat is not<br />
the truth," he objected.<br />
"Truth!" said Dick, scornfully: "what<br />
Is truth t'i you? Write as I tell you.<br />
j very word! And wait before you sign.<br />
he ndjed: "we want a witness whoti<br />
your slanders can not touch. Wll-more-<br />
he; called, and the lieutenant<br />
entered.<br />
The sli'nlng and witnessing done,<br />
Dick folded the paper nd laid it again<br />
before thn colonel.<br />
"Address It," he said, "to the Minis-<br />
ter of Justice at Paris."<br />
The colcnel started nnd drew back.<br />
"Deal gently with me." he said. In a<br />
low voice; "courage and mercy should<br />
Bo together.<br />
"Courage and mercy," replied Dick,<br />
"are no cf.ncern of yours; your province<br />
Is obedle ice. and. If you can manage<br />
it, a llttlj decent shame."<br />
The adr.ress was written.<br />
"And row," aald Dick, "after writ<br />
inri that letter, you win. I think, see<br />
I that It we uld never suit )our health to<br />
live in Kiigland or France again. To<br />
keep you. however, from all temptatun<br />
of such ruka for the present, 1 propo<br />

condole wl.'h you on the failure of your<br />
enterprise. '<br />
"rihall I take him at once?" askod<br />
Wllmore.<br />
The coloi il was In despair.<br />
"An exile ?,nd a beggar! Death would<br />
lie preferab.e!" he exclaimed, with a<br />
Besturo whi h was a really fine piece<br />
of acting, nnJ went to Wllmore's heart<br />
Hut Dick Miew his man better.<br />
"All right.' he said, gravely; "you<br />
have your cljilce.<br />
And he to.k the Iron bar from the<br />
floor where J ihnstone had left it, and<br />
raised It above the colonel's head.<br />
The actor's collapse was swift and<br />
lamentable.<br />
"Hold him!" he cried to Wilmoro;<br />
"for God's saki hold him. He Is call<br />
able of anything.'<br />
"I begin to O.Ink so," said Dick, low<br />
ering his weapoj, "since I have learned<br />
to outwit you."<br />
"Well, then," said Wllmore. holding<br />
out his hand ti Dick, "good-b- y until<br />
tomorrow."<br />
"Yen." said Dick, "I'll thank you<br />
then. Good-by.- "<br />
The colonel was taken on deck again,<br />
and lowered Into the boat.<br />
As they left tne ship's side, he saw.<br />
or thought he sair, a white figure lean<br />
ing over the bulwarks.<br />
"Camilla!" he cried. "Is that you,<br />
Camilla?"<br />
Hut there was no reply. The boat<br />
shot forward, tand the Hpeedwell van-<br />
ished from him into the darkness.<br />
Dick turned to look for Camilla; she<br />
was gone, and he would not follow her<br />
now, for he remembered what the Em-<br />
peror's death must mean to her.<br />
The brig was moving slowly In to-<br />

took a most appro-<br />
priate themo show-<br />
ing that In nil their<br />
work they might<br />
realize that God has always been on<br />
tho side of this nation. Text: II Kings,<br />
vl: 17, "And the Lord opened the eyes<br />
of the young man and he saw; and be-<br />
hold, the mountain was full of horsea<br />
and chariots of fire round about Ellshn. '<br />
The American confess Is assem-<br />
bling. Arriving or already arrived arc<br />
the represcntatlM'3 of all fecctioiis of<br />
this beloved land. Let us welcome<br />
them wltli prayers and benedictions.<br />
A nobler group of men never entered<br />
Washington than those who will to-<br />
morrow take their places In the senate<br />
chamber nnd tho house of repiesenta-tlves- .<br />
Whether they como alone, or<br />
leave their families at tho homestead<br />
far away, may the blessing of the<br />
Eternal God bo upon them' Wo invite<br />
them to our churches, and together,<br />
they In political spheres, and we in re-<br />
ligious circles, will give the coming<br />
months to consideration of the best In-<br />
terests of this country which God has<br />
blessed so much In the past that I<br />
piopase to show you and show them<br />
so far as I may now reach their car, or<br />
their eye through the print-<br />
ing press, that God will be with them<br />
to help them ns In the text he filled the<br />
mountains with help for Kllsha.<br />
As It cost England many regiments<br />
anil two million dollars a year to keep<br />
safely a troublesome captive at St.<br />
Helena, so tho king of Syria sends out<br />
a whole army to capture one minister<br />
of religion perhaps 50.000 men to<br />
take Ellsha. During the night the army<br />
of Syrians came around the village of<br />
Dothan where the prophet was stay-<br />
ing. At eirly daybreak the man-cer-va- nt<br />
of Ellsha rushed in and said:<br />
"What shall we do? there is a whole<br />
army como to destroy you! We must<br />
die! We must die!" Hut Ellsha was<br />
not scared a bit, for he looked up and<br />
saw the mountains all around full of<br />
supernatural forces, and he knew that<br />
If there were 50,000 Syrians against him<br />
there were 100,000 angels for him; and<br />
in answer to the prophet's prayer In<br />
behalf of his affrighted man-servan- t,<br />
the young man saw It too. Horses of<br />
fire harnesed to chariots of fire, and<br />
drivers of fire pulling reins of fire on<br />
bits of fire, and warriors of fire with<br />
brandished swords of fire, and the bril-<br />
liance of that morning sunrise wai<br />
eclipsed by tho galloping splendors of<br />
tho celestial cavalcade. "And the Lord<br />
opened tho eyes of the young man; and<br />
ho saw: and behold the mountain was<br />
full of horses and chariots of fire round<br />
about Ellsha." I speak of tho upper<br />
forces of the text that arc to fight on<br />
our side as a nation. If all the low levels<br />
ars filled with armed threats, I have to<br />
tell you that the mountains of our hope<br />
and courage and faith arc full of the<br />
horses and chariot; of Dlvlno rescue.<br />
You will notice that the Divine equip-<br />
age is always represented as a chariot<br />
of fire. Ezcklel nnd Isaiah and John,<br />
when they corr.o to describe the Divine<br />
equipage always represent It ns e<br />
wheeled, a harnefsed, an upholstered<br />
conflagration. It is not a chariot like<br />
kings and conquerors of earth mount,<br />
but an organized and compressed fire.<br />
That means purity, Justice, chastise-<br />
ment, deliverance through burning es-<br />
capes. Chariot of rescue? yes, but a<br />
chariot of fire. All our national discn-thralmcn- ts<br />
have been through scorch-<br />
ing agonies and red disasters. Through<br />
tribulation the Individual rises.<br />
Through tribulation nations rite.<br />
Chariots of rescue, but chariots of fire.<br />
Hut bow do I know that this Divine<br />
equipage is on the side of our Institu-<br />
tions? I know It by tho history of the<br />
last one hundred and nineteen years.<br />
The American revolution started from<br />
the pen of James Hancock In Inde-<br />
pendence hall In 1770. Tho colonies,<br />
without ships, without ammunition,<br />
without guns, without trained warriors,<br />
without money, without prestige. On<br />
the other side, the mightiest nation of<br />
the earth, the largest armies, the grand-<br />
est navies, and the most distinguished<br />
commanders, and resources Inexhausti-<br />
ble, and nearly all nations ready to back<br />
them up in the fight. Nothing, as<br />
against immensity.<br />
The cause of tho American colonics,<br />
which started at zero, dropped still<br />
lower through tho quarreling of tho<br />
generals, and through tho Jealousies at<br />
small successes, and through the win-<br />
ters which surpassed all predecessors<br />
In depth of snow and horrors of con-<br />
cealment. Ellsha surrounded by tho<br />
photo Syrian army did not seem to bo<br />
worso off than did tho thirteen colonk'3<br />
encompassed and overshadowed by<br />
foreign assault. What decided the con-<br />
test In our favor? Tho upper forces,<br />
the upper armies. The Green and<br />
White mountains of New England, the<br />
highlands along the Hudson, tho moun-<br />
tains of Virginia, all tho Appalachian<br />
ranges were full of reinforcements<br />
which the young roan Washington saw<br />
by faith; and hit men endured tb9<br />
frozen feet, and the gangrened wounds,<br />
and the exhausting hungc., and the<br />
long march, because "the Iord opened<br />
the eye. of the young man; and he saw:<br />
and behold, the mountains were full of<br />
borsea and chariot, of fire round about<br />
Ellsha." Washington himself was a<br />
miracle. What Joshua wa. in sacred<br />
history, the first American president<br />
was in secular history. A thousand<br />
other men excelled blm In different<br />
tblaXs, but be excelled tbem all la<br />
rovadBSM and completeness of charac-<br />
ter. The world sever saw bis like,<br />
aid probably sever will see his like<br />
sgsla, because there probab'y neer<br />
will be suck aa exigency. He was let<br />
dowa a Divlae Interposition. He was<br />
from 04 direct.<br />
I 4e set knew bow mny eaa rese<br />
the history of these times without ad-<br />
mitting the SMtest w decided by the<br />
upper feme. Then, la 1M1, wbea mu<br />

al suicide. It was not courage agnlnst<br />
cowardice, It was not wealth against<br />
poverty, It was not large states against<br />
small states. It was lnroim against<br />
heroism, It was the resoii-e- of many<br />
generations ngalnst tin of<br />
generations, It was the piayer of the<br />
North against the prayer of the South.<br />
It was one,-ha- lf of tho nation In armed<br />
wrath, mooting the otlur half of the<br />
nation In nrmed Imllgnntlon. What<br />
could como but extermination?<br />
At tlio opening of the war the<br />
of the fulled states<br />
forces was n man who had been great<br />
In battle, but old ago had come, with<br />
many Infirmities, and 1 e had n rii;ht<br />
to quietude. Ho could not mount a<br />
horse and he rode on thr battle-fiel- d In<br />
n carriage, asking tho driver not to Jolt<br />
It too much. During the most of the<br />
four years of the contest , on the South-<br />
ern side, was n man In mUl-Mf- c, who<br />
had In his veins tho blood of many<br />
generations of warriors himself one of<br />
the heroes of tho Cherubusco and Ccrro<br />
Gordo, Contrerns nnd Cunpiiltepec. A<br />
tho jcars passed on nnd the scroll of<br />
carnago unrolled there came out from<br />
both sides a heroism and a strength<br />
and a determination that the world nnd<br />
never seen marshaled. And what but<br />
extermination could come when I'hlllp<br />
Sheridan and Stonewall Jackson1 met<br />
and Nathaniel Lon and Sydney John-<br />
son rode In from tho North and South,<br />
and Grant and Lee, tho two thunder-<br />
bolts of battle, clashed? Yet, v.o are a<br />
nation, and yet we aic at peace. Earth-<br />
ly courago did not decide tho conflict.<br />
The upper forces of the text. They tell<br />
us there was a battle fought above the<br />
clouds on Lookout mountain; but there<br />
was something higher than that.<br />
Again the horses and chariots of God<br />
came to the rescue of the nation In 1&7C<br />
at the close of the presidential election<br />
famous for ferocity. A darker cloud<br />
yet settled down upon this nation. The<br />
result of the election was In dispute,<br />
and revolution, not between two or<br />
three sections, but revolution In every<br />
town and village and city of the United<br />
States seemed Imminent. The pros-<br />
pect was that New York would throttle<br />
New York, and New Orleans would grip<br />
New Orleans, and Hoston, Boston, and<br />
Savannah, Savnnnah, and Washington,<br />
Washington. Some said Mr. Tllden was<br />
elected; others said Mr. Hayes was<br />
elected; and how near we came to uni-<br />
versal massacre, some of us guessed,<br />
but only God knew. I ascribe our es-<br />
cape not to the honesty and rlghteous-nes1- ?<br />
of Infuriated politicians, but I as-<br />
cribe it to tho upper forces of the text.<br />
Chariots of mercy rolled In, and though<br />
the wheels were not heard, and the<br />
Hash was not seen, yet all through tho<br />
mountains of the North and the South<br />
and the East and the West, though tho<br />
hoofs did not clatter, the cavalry of<br />
God galloped by. 1 tell ou God Is tho<br />
friend of this nation. In the awful ex-<br />
citement at the massacre of Lincoln,<br />
when there was a prospect that great-<br />
er slaughter would open upon this na-<br />
tion, God hushed the tempest, lu the<br />
awful excitement at the time of Gar-<br />
field's assassination, God put his foot<br />
on the neck of the cyclone. To prove<br />
God Is on tho side of this nation I arguo<br />
from the last eight or nine great na-<br />
tional harvests, and from the national<br />
health of the last quarter of a century,<br />
epidemics very exceptional, and from<br />
the great revivals of religion, nnd from<br />
the spreading of the Church of God,<br />
and fiom tho continent blossoming with<br />
asylums and. reformatory Institutions,<br />
and from the Edenlzatlon which prom-<br />
ises that this whole land Ic to he a<br />
paradise where Gol shall walk.<br />
I am encouraged more than I can<br />
tell you as I see the regiments wheeling<br />
down the sky, and my Jeremiads turn<br />
Into doxologlcj., and that which was tho<br />
Good Friday of the nation's cruclllxlon<br />
becomes tho EaMer mora of its res-<br />
urrection. Of course. God works<br />
through human instrumentalities, and<br />
this national betterment Is to come<br />
nmong other things through a scrutin-<br />
ized ballot box. By tho law of registra-<br />
tion it is almost Impossible now to<br />
have illegal voting. There was a time<br />
you and I remember it very well-w- hen<br />
droves of vagabonds wan-<br />
dered up and down on elec-<br />
tion day and from poll to<br />
poll, and voted here, and voted there,<br />
and voted everywhere, and thero waa<br />
no challenge; or. If there were, it<br />
amounted to nothing, because nothing<br />
could so suddenly be proved upon the<br />
vagabonds. Now, In every<br />
neighborhood, "every voter is<br />
watched with severest scrutiny. If I<br />
am in a region where I nm allowed a<br />
vote, I must tell the registrar my name,<br />
and how old I am, and how long I have<br />
resided in tho state, and how long I<br />
havo rcsidod in the wnrd or tho town-chi- p,<br />
and If I misrepresent, fifty wit-<br />
nesses will rise and shut me out from<br />
the ballot-bo- x. Is not that a great<br />
And then notice the law that<br />
prohibits a man voting it ho has bet on<br />
the election. A step further needs to<br />
be taken, and that man forbidden a<br />
voto who has offered or taken a bribe.<br />
whether it bo in tho shape of a frco<br />
drink, or cash paid down, tho suspicious<br />
cases obliged to put their hand on tho<br />
Dlblo and swear their vote In if they<br />
vote at all. So, through tho bacred<br />
chest of our nation's suffrage, redemp-<br />
tion will come.<br />
God will savo this nation through an<br />
aroused moral sentiment. Thero has<br />
never been o much discussion of<br />
morals and Inimorals. Men, whether or<br />
not they acknowledge what is right,<br />
havo to think what Is right. Wo havo<br />
men who havo had their hands in the<br />
public treasury tho most of their life-<br />
time, stealing all they could lay their<br />
hands on, discoursing eloquently about<br />
dishonesty In public servants; and men<br />
with two or threo families of their own,<br />
preaching eloquently about tho beauties<br />
of tho seventh commandment. Tho<br />
question of sobriety and drunkenness<br />
I i thrust In tho face of this nation as<br />
never before, and takes a part in our<br />
political contests. The question of na-<br />
tional sobriety is going to be respect-<br />
fully and deferentially heard at the bar<br />
of every Legislature, and every House<br />
of Representatives, and every Stale<br />
Senate; and au omnipotent voice will<br />
ring down tho sky and across this land<br />
and back agalu, saying to these rising<br />
tides at drunkenness which threaten to<br />
whelm home and church and nation:<br />
"Thus far sbalt thou come, but no<br />
further, and here shell thy proud waves<br />
be stayed."<br />
' I have not la my attnd a shadow of<br />
dlefceartment as largo as the shadow of<br />
a fcaa fly's wing. My faltb. is la tho<br />

9Hf were, osa wash your eyes la the<br />

of Christian reform, It would ho said of<br />
you, nH of this one of tho text: "Tho<br />
Lord opened tho eyes of tho young man,<br />
nnd ho saw; and behold tho mountain<br />
w.is full of horses and chariots of Ilro<br />
round nboiit Ellsha."<br />
When tho army of Antlgnnus went<br />
Into ba'tle Iili Boldlers wcro very imirh<br />
discouraged, nnd they rushed up to the<br />
(leiieral nnd unld to him: "Don't you<br />

of righteousness 1 nsk you how many<br />

Lord of Hosts Is his name. I havo the<br />
best authority for saying that tho<br />
chariots of God are twenty<br />
thousand nd tho mountains are full of<br />
them.<br />
Havo you any doubt about the need<br />
of tho Christian religion to purify and<br />
make decent American polities? At<br />
every yearly or quadrennial election wo<br />
havo In this country great manufa-<br />
ctoriesmanufactories of Ilea; nnd they<br />

1 confess, I am ashamed to havo a for- -<br />
elgner visit this country in such times,<br />
I should think he would stand dazed,<br />
his hand on his pocket-boo- k, and darn '<br />
not go out nights. What will the bun- -<br />
dreds of thousands of foreigners who<br />
como hero to live think of us? What a<br />
disgust they must have for tho land of<br />
their adoption! The only good thing<br />
about It is, many of them cannot under-<br />
stand the English language. But I sup-<br />
pose the German and Italian and Swed-<br />
ish and French j. ipers translate It all,<br />
and peddle out tho infernal stulf to the<br />
subscribers.<br />
Nothing but Christianity will ever<br />
stop such a Hood of indecency. The<br />
Christian religion will speak after<br />
awhile. The billingsgate and low scan-<br />
dal through which w wade every year<br />
or every four years must hu rebuked<br />
by that religion which speaks from Its<br />
two great mountains, from the one<br />
mountain intoning tho command,<br />
"Thou shalt not bear falso witness<br />
against thy neighbor," and from tho<br />
other mount making plea for kindness<br />
and blessing rather than cursing. Yes.<br />
wo are going to have a national reli-<br />
gion. There a'ro two kinds of national<br />
religion. Tho one Is supported by tho<br />
state, and Is a matter of human politics,<br />
and it has great patronage, and under it<br />
men will struggle for prominence with<br />

ami canonicals, and room for a thou-<br />
sand people, jet an audience of fifty<br />
people, or twenty people, or ten, or two.<br />
We want no such religion as that, no<br />
such national religion: but we want<br />
this kind of national religion tho vast<br />
majority of the people converted and<br />
evangelized, and then they will man-<br />
age tho secular as well as the religious.<br />
Do you say that this Is Impracticable?<br />
No. The tlmo la coming just as cer-<br />
tainly as thero is a Cod, and that this<br />

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and<br />
a light unto my path. Psalm 119:103.<br />
The man who can got nothing out of<br />
tho Bible has never honestly tried to.<br />
Tho probabilities nro that ho nover<br />
made a careful study of a single chapter<br />
of It. He has picked it up now nnd then<br />
perhaps, and read a few verses at ran-<br />
dom, but he has nover earnestly tried<br />
to find out what la In It. The truth Is<br />
that ho doesn't want to understand It.<br />
or ho would find a key to unlock It.<br />
Men do not understand books on math-<br />
ematics, or music, or medicine, or as-<br />
tronomy, or anything elso that deals<br />
with truth, until they get in earnest<br />
about It, nnd set about It In (he right<br />
way. No man will have any trouble<br />
about understanding ns much of tho<br />
Illblo as ho needs to know, when ho be-<br />
comes willing to live ns it tells him to.<br />
It will becomo a lamp to guide tho feet<br />
of every man who will walk In Its light,<br />
but to thoso who nro determined to<br />
follow tholr own courso It will be dark-net- s.<br />
This fact wa3 sjmbollzed In tLo<br />
pillar of cloud which led tho Israelites.<br />
It gave them light, but to their enemies<br />
It was darkness. When you find a man<br />
who is keeping out of tho church on tho<br />
plea that he cannot understand tho<br />
Bible, you may know that it Is because<br />
he is holding on to things that the<br />
scriptures condemn. Whoever will<br />

pressions of opinion, characterized<br />
Aaron Burr as a man who was willing<br />
to Ue his tools to carve out hl3 per-<br />
sonal ambition at the cost of any sacri-<br />

ALEXANDHn HAMILTON.<br />
The American of today, however, Is apt<br />
to take the view that Alexander Ham<br />
ilton was the martyr who willingly im-<br />
molated himself on the altar of his<br />
country, while Burr was tho selfish po-<br />
litical schemer who was willing to adopt<br />
any unscrupulous means by which he<br />
might hope to get his hated rival out of<br />
the way.<br />
Two things Hamilton knew when ho<br />
crossed the Hudson from his beautiful<br />
home rn Washington Heights on that<br />
fateful summer morning. These wr,<br />
-- a<br />
that his antagonist thirsted for his<br />
blood, and also that the bullet of Aaron<br />
Burr had seldom missed Its aim. This<br />
knowledge would almost Justify the be-<br />
lief that Hamilton deliberately went to<br />
the field prepared to kill Burr, and thus<br />
rid the Infant republic of the man<br />
whom he considered Its most danger-<br />
ous foe, or be killed himself, knowing<br />
that In that event the narao of Bun- -<br />
WOuld bo forever execrated, that the act<br />
.., .,.,. Mj ni,tini i(im, rr.<br />
over, and that the greatest good to the<br />
greaust number of his countrymen<br />
would he accomplished In either event.<br />
The duel itself occurred, as I havo<br />
said, on the morning of July 11, at<br />
about 7 o'clock. Both principals, with<br />
their seconds and surgeons, rowed<br />
across the Hudson, tho Burr party<br />
reaching the field first. Burr, according<br />
to all accounts, seemed to be In a blood-<br />
thirsty frame of mind, while tho de-<br />
meanor of Alexander Hamilton Is de-<br />
scribed as dignified and almost mourn-<br />
ful. Tho distance was ten paces. Choice<br />
of pobltlon and the giving of the wc-n- l<br />
both considered by follower of tho<br />
code as distinct advantages fell by lot<br />
to Hamilton's seconds. The word was<br />
"Present!" Both parties fired in succes-<br />
sion, with an interval between, about<br />
tho exact time of which thero was a<br />
dlsputo among the seconds.<br />
Hamilton fell almost instantly, and it<br />
is told of Burr that ho advanced to tho<br />
side of his mortally wounded rival with<br />
an expression of melancholy on his face,<br />
but that ho suddenly withdrew In si-<br />
lence and was hurried from the field<br />
by his seconds. Van Ness, who was tho<br />
closest friend of Burr in this affair, and<br />
knowing that his pricclpal must 11y<br />
for his life, led tho way to the boat by<br />
a devious route in order to avoid recog-<br />
nition by tho surgeon and rowers of tho<br />
Hamilton barge, which ho saw ap-<br />
proaching through tho trees. Dr. H03-ac- k<br />
and Mr. Pendleton lifted the wound- -<br />
mmW.1 fal<br />
MRS. ALEXANDER HAMILTON,<br />
cd statesman and bore him to the boat,<br />
In which he was conveyed to his home<br />
across the river, where he was attended<br />
not only by his own surgeons but by ex-<br />
pert specialists In gunshot wounds who<br />
were Immediately summoned from the<br />
French frigates lying In the harbor.<br />
But human aid was of no avail, aud<br />
the anguish of bis family was hardly<br />
less painful to witness that the excru-<br />
ciating suffering of the dying states-<br />
man, borne with charactritlc eeurago<br />
sad forlilude. The deathbed seeae waa<br />
pathetic to a degree that has bad lew i<br />
parallels in history. Surrounded by his<br />
broken-hearte- d wife and seven children,<br />
with his mind perfectly clear, but be- -<br />
reft of tho power of speech, tho llfo ot<br />
tho great American patriot, soldier ami<br />
statesman the man who led the storm<br />
oti Yorktotvn's heights, and fought tin<br />
greatest forensic battles of his time<br />
slowly ebbed until 2 o'clock on tho fol-<br />
lowing Thursday afternoon.<br />
Tho funeral was held at Trinity<br />
Church on tho following Saturday, it<br />
was attended by thousands of mourn-<br />
ers, each countryman of tho dead states<br />
man nursing In his heart a personal<br />
and Indignant sorrow. It was a danger-<br />
ous throng, and If theic lingered among<br />
those grief-stricke- n thousands a parti-<br />
san of Aaron Burr, he was wlso enough<br />
to keep silent. Tho eulogy, a soul-stirri-<br />
oration, was delivered by Gouvcr-neu- r<br />
Morris from a platform In front ot<br />
Trinity Church, on Broadway, at tho<br />
head of Wall street. Soon after its<br />
echoes died away, In the eloquent word<br />
of a fellow-compatrio- t, "a shroud, a cof-<br />
fin, a narrow subterraneous cabin, was<br />
all that remained of Alexander Hamil-<br />
ton'"<br />
As for Aaron Burr, ho had fled for hh<br />
llfo on the very day of the duel. Later<br />
ho was disfranchised by the laws ot<br />
Now York, and Indicted for murder In<br />
New Jersey. After that he became an<br />
Ishmael on the fare of the earth, dying<br />
on Staten Island when eighty years old,<br />
frlendleps and almost In want of the<br />
common necessities of life.<br />
Hamilton Grange, the home of Al<br />
exander Hamilton on Washington.<br />
Heights, still stands unchanged from<br />
the day that the great statesman 7?as<br />
carried bleeding and dying across Its<br />
threshold. The property Is now owned<br />
by St. Luke's Episcopal Church, which<br />
It adjoins, on the corner of Convent ave-<br />
nue and Hist street. Scarcely a stone's<br />
throw from the portals of this pictur-<br />
esque old colonial mansion are the thir-<br />
teen trees planted by the hands of Gen.<br />
Washington's captain of artillery, each<br />
one representing one of the thirteen<br />
original states. Visitors to tho neigh-<br />
borhood view these old landmarks with<br />
much Interest, and glance Involuntarily<br />
down the street, probably U2d, leading<br />
down to the river over which the sad<br />
little cortege bearing the dying form of<br />
the most prominent political leader of<br />
his time v.ound its way on that luck-<br />
less July morning.<br />
Strange to say, tho old Jumel man<br />
sion is not far away. Two years before<br />
his death, Aaron Birr, who was the<br />
third of thl3 country,<br />
who was tried for treason, and who<br />
came near going down into history by<br />
the side of Benedict Arnold, married<br />
Madame Jumel, who soon obtained a<br />
separation from him.<br />
Hevlewing the whole matter, one can<br />
hardly fall to recall tho slow grinding<br />
of tho:e mills of the gods that brings<br />
suro retribution at last.<br />
Burr left no monuments. Though a<br />
man of transcendent genius, thero are<br />
few who care to remember him. Ham-<br />
ilton left enduring footprints on tho<br />
ands of time. The latest evidence of<br />
the loving remembrance in which he is<br />
held In the hearts of his countrymen<br />
Is the beautiful statue which stands In<br />
front of the famous Hamilton Club In<br />

"Yes, your boota 10 cent."<br />
Anthony suspected that it was the<br />

know the truth.<br />
"Why do you chargo mo more than<br />

Tho bootblack pointed to a placard<br />

"Thlsa your New Year; thlsa nota<br />

Whenever it pleases him to do so he<br />
orders a few hundred subjects to be be-<br />

THE KING OF ASHANTEE.<br />
are all born flghtrs, who would rather<br />
fight than cat.<br />
He Is an absoluto despot. The King<br />
of Ashanteo could give points In despot-Is- m<br />
to tho Sultan of Turkey and the<br />
Czar of Ilusbla. If the Czar were to do<br />
the things which the King of Ashantee<br />
thinks nothing of doing tliero would be<br />
a vacancy In tho Winter Palace.<br />
If any man looks one of his 3,333<br />
wives that man's nnmo is Dennis. Sonn<br />
of these numerous wives of the King of<br />
Ashantee are not worth looking nt. It Is<br />
true, but tho owner of any profane eyes<br />
that even by acldent happened to rest<br />
upon them would be conducted to n<br />

Upon every national festival iOa lso<br />

An Interloper cat la nsponslblo for his<br />
absence.<br />
Four jcars ago ho turned up In tho<br />
pollco station, half starved, and a<br />
named Dob fed him nnd gave<br />
him a name, and under this treatment<br />
the dog came out wonderfully. Ho was<br />
of a very mixed breed, common cur<br />
,v<br />
at<br />
blood predominating, and his coat was<br />
a mixture of white and yellow, ar-<br />
ranged after nn Indcscrlbnblo ornery<br />
pattern. This was when the police sta-<br />
tion was In the old haunted house and<br />
when at 2 o'clock the spook made Its<br />
Irregular appearance, Dob was tho<br />
worst frightened Inmate o! tho station.<br />
He alwajs, after his first ghostly experi-<br />
ence, ran out Into the street, and It<br />
took great coaxing to Induce him to re-<br />
turn. He had a habit of assisting the<br />
sergeant to turn out tho quad of po-<br />
lice every morning ijt C o'clock. He<br />
stood nt tho head of the column, and<br />
when the command "March!" was given<br />
ho gave two sharp yctps. Then he went<br />
across the street and lslted the<br />
liutcher, who happened to be the fnther<br />
of policeman Dob. and there ho stayed<br />
until tlmo to turn out another squad<br />
of police, at C o'clock In the evening.<br />
Then, until next morning, ho was tho<br />
guardian of the station. He becamo<br />
blind three years ago by a cataract<br />
forming over his ojes. He had already<br />
become very familiar with the station<br />

"not In consequence of legal reliability,<br />
but voluntarily and as an at: of grace."<br />
Registration of money or Jewelry Is<br />
compulsory; such articles are not per-<br />
mitted to be sent In the ordinary mails.<br />
At the same time, parcels addressed<br />
ta foreign parts cannot be resistertd.<br />
though for India they may be injured<br />
The Drltlsh government pays up to tlo<br />
for the value of any ordinary unregis-<br />
tered package that Is lest in its mall<br />
service. This applies only in the Unit-<br />
ed Kingdom, ami It does not govern at<br />

Nearly all foreign corntries insure<br />

ceptions to the general rule. The Third<br />
Assistant ntlm,..uf.f:mr,i f ,h!<br />
United States in his last two annual re--<br />
ports has recommended to Concress the i<br />
granting 6f an indemnity on registered<br />
lcttcrs and packages not to exceed ?1'<br />
This Is sure to be done sooner or later.<br />
Turning to tho regulations of tiiejn-iernation- .il<br />
Postal Union, one finds th.at<br />
the sender of a registered package to a<br />
foreign country Is entitled to $10 In<br />
case of loss, unless the latter has been<br />
occasioned by "force majeure" mean<br />
ing war. This indemnity must be paid<br />
by the government, that dispatcher the<br />
package. However, that government<br />
may recover the amount from the gov-<br />
ernment In whose territory tho loss<br />
was incurred.<br />
The adoption by Uncle Sam of an In-<br />
demnity limited to $10 would Increase<br />
the confidence of the public at very<br />
little cost. During the last fiscal year<br />
C5I pieces of registered matter were<br />
lost. Supposing tho maximum pay-<br />
ment to be granted in each Instance,<br />
the entire expense of such insurance<br />
would bo $0,510 for the twelvemonth.<br />
This is a trifle compared with th,<br />
money gained thatwould nccrue to the<br />
government from the Increase In the<br />
nglstry business that would follow the<br />
acceptance of the Indemnity plan. The<br />
latter would take from the ordinary<br />

CORK IN CALIFORNIA.<br />
.ttrmpttn (irntr (linlupaqnr Stoppers tn<br />
Oilirlrl nllry.<br />
The department of agriculture will<br />
laue a bulletin ltefore long on tho sub-<br />
ject of cork. It will advocate the cul<br />
ture of cork trees In this country, urg-<br />
ing that forests of this specie of oak.<br />
cou,l established with great prollt<br />
the southern states Statistics show<br />
that <strong>12</strong>.000,000 worth of cork Is import<br />
into the I nlted States annuahy. It<br />
steadily Increasing In ralu, fetchlns<br />
now eleven times the price that was<br />
paid for it in 1790 The soil of Cali-<br />
fornia is particularly well adapted to<br />
tha cork oak. which grows there with<br />
greater rapldltv than In Europe. Al-<br />
ready about l.wHi of the trees havu<br />
been planted in the San Gabriel vnlloy.<br />
The Ualrersio of California has, ac-<br />
cording to the Drooklvn Cltlrn. dls--<br />
tribuled several bushels of the acorns.<br />
which by the way. are very good to ent.<br />
tasting like chestnuts The varlsty<br />
uses to which cork Is put is extra-<br />
ordinary. To the Algerians It is ai<br />
reat a. necessity as the agave to tho<br />
Mexican or the palm to the Arab. From<br />
he make boats, furniture, saddles,<br />
hoes, horseshoes, and ev.-- n clothing.<br />
Other employments for the material in<br />
southern Europe are for rooting, jll,<br />
clothes, window lights, plates, tabs,<br />
drinking vessels, religious image,<br />
fences, and coffins. The waste eork<br />
from the catting of bottle stoppers is<br />
utilised for filling cushions and mat<br />
tresses, and In the manufacture of cork<br />
dust bricks, which are serviceable<br />
whe-- e great dryness is required. A<br />
ver, fine kind of pasteboard is made<br />
fron cork, the ground substance being<br />
ml ted with paper pulp and pressed to<br />
squeese out the water. Cork waste ia<br />
alo used for making life-boat- s, buoys,<br />
linoleum, inner soles for shoes, artifi-<br />
cial legs and arms, "cork concrete."<br />
and many other articles in which light-<br />
ness and elasticity are require!.<br />
Champagne cork consume the bulk ot<br />
the finest cork that reaches the markst.<br />
They cost a cent a piece who!salc.<br />
This is because they have to be cut by<br />
hand. Ordinary cork that is intended<br />
to be cut by machinery is first softened<br />
by steam, so that It may not take tho<br />
edges off the revolving knives. Cork<br />
thus treated does well enough for com<br />
moa .purposes, but It has lost iu efse-ticit- y.<br />
and does not make stoppers tight<br />
enough for champagne. The knives<br />
employed are so quickly dulled that<br />
they have to be sharpened constantly<br />
by the cork-cutt- er as he works. Tho<br />
great champagne houses often engago<br />
the entire output of cork-cutti- estab-<br />
lishments in Spain and Portugal.<br />

A long list ot famous and historical<br />

Catherine Borgia and Marie Antoinette<br />

at the mention of a white horse, nor<br />
doe she soak her locks In oil and comb<br />
them with poisonous lead combs. On<br />

It 13 on- - of tho most hackneyed of<br />
expression that "fine feathers make j<br />
tine birds," Our dames nnd demol-- 1<br />
telles have striven with all their might<br />
to outdo their feathered friends In out- - j<br />
side apparel, and with not Indifferent<br />
success, as a stroll up and down the<br />
streets of r great cities on a bright<br />
afternoon would conclusively prove.<br />
If they would go a step farther and<br />
emulate the same creatures In another<br />
point, the results would to favorable<br />
to the peace of mind and heart of the<br />
denr creatures and bring more tranquil-<br />
ity to the domestic flreflde. Instead<br />
of this, they revere the conditions, and<br />
In place of the softest, finest and most<br />
delicate materials net to the body,<br />
they possess themselves of a hetero-<br />
geneous mass of cheap garments, of<br />
coarse fabric and sloppy workmanship,<br />
and save the down of tol'et for the out-<br />
side, says the New York Ledger. Even<br />
the goose has sense enough to protest<br />
against being deprived of tho tine un-<br />
derwear with which nature has pro-<br />
vided her, but her sister geese of the<br />
human family not only make no protest,<br />
but actually from choice select an out-<br />
fit at which any feath-<br />

trace not a few domestic Infelicities and<br />
not n few disrupted households to a<br />
systematic disregard for the example<br />
of the web-foote- d model above men-<br />
tioned. There are men so ultra fastid-<br />
ious that they cannot tolerate untidi-<br />
ness even In their wives, and the under-<br />
wear of some well-to-d- o women Is of lt--<br />
I slf sufficient to drive a man of deli<br />
cate sensibilities from his domestic<br />
sanctuary. People of sense cannot and<br />
will not respect a woman whose under-<br />
wear Is untidy or shabby when she can<br />
have better. Her claim to respect is<br />
frail. Indeed, If she puts a seventy-five-doll- ar<br />
dress over fifty-ce- undergar-<br />
ments. Personal tldlnss Is too apt to<br />
be neglected In the hurry and undis-<br />
ciplined worry of the average house-<br />
hold. Conveniences and privacy, too.aro<br />
lacking in many cases, and so from day<br />
to day good resolutions fade and fall,<br />
and the habit of disorderly and, dirty<br />
garments creeps into the home circle<br />
and shadows the fireside by Its pres-<br />
ence. The subject of underwear Is by<br />
no means an unimportant one. The<br />
underclothes of any woman are the<br />
most perfect Index of her character and<br />
refinement of mlnJ, as well as her taste<br />

Mildred and others have asked how<br />
one may become a successful author.<br />
Answer: First and foremost, one must<br />
have something to write about, then<br />
write it with as much directness as<br />
possible. Never try to write about anv- -<br />
. thing you do not understand. The world<br />
I Is full of experts who will detect errors<br />
I at a glance, and will not be charitable<br />
In criticising them. Writers who do--<br />
Wr-'t- o have their wrltlncs published<br />
ofen pj the publisher for doing the<br />
work. Otherwise they are sent to the<br />
editors of papers and magazines, and<br />
are accepted if satisfactory. Use any<br />
good paper, write only on one Mde. and<br />
sign jour own name or a fictitious one.<br />
Just as you please.<br />

Tn in Cat l.mi Villil.<br />
A friend of mine, who recently re-<br />
turned from a visit to the mining<br />
camps on tho Island of Cerros, which<br />
lies in the Pacific ocean, off the coast<br />
of Lower California, In speaking of the<br />
fauna and flora of that Interesting<br />
volcanic upheaval, told me that he saw<br />
a number of small cats running wild on<br />
the Island. They were prowling about<br />
the rocks, and among the many cacti<br />
rmd giant century plants that form the<br />
only vegetation of that nrid soil, and af<br />
ford these cats their only shelter. He<br />
describes the color of these animals as<br />
varied, many being gray, some entirely<br />
black, and a few spotted with black and<br />
white.<br />
My friend Is correct In<br />
the belief that these small cats have<br />
descended from domestic animals that<br />
had been left on the Island, or had<br />
escaped from wrecks on the coast, and<br />
iluce that time have multiplied under<br />
favorable conditions of food and cli-<br />
mate. They prey chiefly upon the rats<br />
that are found there of tho "trading"<br />
and the "kangaroo" species.<br />
Theso kangaroo rats are peculiar to<br />
Australia, and must therefore .have<br />
gained a homo on the Island of Cerros<br />
In some such way as the cats have done.<br />
The cats may occasionally vary their<br />
blll-of-fa- re by catching tho mice that<br />
InfcBt the huts of the miners, and the<br />
ilcxlcan finches that illy over from tho<br />
mainland In large Hocks.<br />
My Informant heard occasional<br />
me-ow- s and distant at<br />
night sounds that reminded him more<br />
of home and civilization than any other<br />
that met his car during his trip. Once<br />
or twice by the mere force of habit, ho<br />
found himself on the very point of<br />
hurling boot-Jac- ks and soap cups at the<br />
Icllne serenaders.<br />
In their habits these Cerros cats aro<br />
exceedingly wlld.as we might naturally<br />
suppose. For, no matter how much of a<br />
pet a cat may be, If her young aro<br />
brought up to shift for or<br />
are turned adrift In the woods, even<br />
after a domestic they wl.l<br />
at once show themselves proficient In<br />
those feline arts that enable them to<br />
rapture their prey and to avoid their<br />
tnemle. The wild aature of.a bouse<br />

Value of Gen'feness Tho money<br />
value of quietness, gentleness and good<br />
temper In milch cows Is well known<br />
nud appreciated by all practical dairy-<br />
men as a thing of prime Importance.<br />
These to a certain extent are Inherited<br />
from the parents of the animal, the<br />
same as disposition to fatten, quality<br />
of flesh, yield of milk, etc. Even<br />
harsh tones to a nervous and timid ani-<br />
mal arc almost as dangerous as blows.<br />
Gentle treatment should commenco<br />
early with the young calf, and be con-<br />
tinued until the animal is put in the<br />
dairy. The calf should n.er know<br />
what It Is to fear man, and If never<br />
treated harshly, frightened or teased,<br />
will, almost without exception, be ex-<br />
empt fro vicious habits. They should<br />
be brought up with the Idea that man<br />
is their friend and protector. Stock<br />
that can be approached at any tlmo are<br />
easier to handlo and In that way repay<br />
many times over the trouble u takes<br />
to raise them In this manner. The<br />
best of dairy breeds may be rendered<br />
useless if subjected to harsh treatment.<br />
The Average Cow. The census<br />
claims that there aro over 10,600000<br />
cows In the United States, and esti-<br />
mates their average production of but-<br />
ter at 130 pounds each. When we con-sld- er<br />
that a good many cows yield<br />
frcro 1M to 400 pounds per year wo<br />
must conclude that there are a very<br />
large number that yield far below 130<br />
pounds, else the average would not be<br />
reduced to that figure. It goes with-o- ut<br />
saylBg that there are hundreds of<br />
thousands of cows (probably<br />
that do aet UgD to pay their way" The<br />
cow owners of this country can make<br />

young quail and tried to make lillltt<br />
this will bo good nows, for some day<br />
there will probably bo a quail farn<br />
where this most valuable game bird will<br />
be bred and raised in quantities. Hcccat<br />
severe winters have greatly lessenel<br />
the natural supply of quail, not oslyla<br />
this section, but farther south as rtl,<br />
and game protective societies hare ex<br />
perienced much difficulty In ol'alnlsg I<br />
nB many birds ns they wanted fori<br />
breeding purposes.<br />
Mr. Rudolph's discovery of the fcol<br />
young quail requlro was not an acci<br />
dent, but tho result of long study. He<br />
has kept live quail for the last twenty<br />
years, but only until recently has bs<br />
succeeding In getting the young birds<br />
to live. All ordinary food, such as Is<br />
given young chickens, turkeys, eta, be<br />
found to be useless with quail, the<br />
young invariably dying. He tried broad<br />
after brood and finally turned his a-<br />
ttention to wild food, such as the birds<br />
would be likely to get in their natural<br />
state. He was successful and now sars<br />
he can raise C5 per cent of all young<br />
birds hatched. Just what this wild foal<br />
is Mr. Rudolph says la his secret. Ills<br />
success proves that It Is a good ose.<br />
After the birds are ten days old they<br />
will cr.t anything and live.<br />
Exterminating Burdocks Like all<br />
biennials, the burdock is easily d-<br />
estroyed In cultivated fields. It is<br />
only in as fence sides, co-<br />
rners, and around the buildings, pas-<br />
tures, and borders of woodlands that<br />
burdocks give trouble, lint even la<br />
these they are not difficult to destroy.<br />
Farmers who go over their fields twice<br />
a year with their spades will soon bare<br />
no burdocks. In cutting them care<br />
should be taken to strike below the<br />
crown. Every plant cut In this way<br />
must die. The cutting may be done at<br />
any time of the year when the ground<br />
Is not frozen, and it Is, of course, much<br />
more easily done when the plants are<br />
young. While It Is not difficult to cut<br />
off a small tap root with tho spade, It<br />
Is much more difficult to accomplish the<br />
same when the root baa attained a d-<br />
iameter ot an Inch or more. Two or<br />
threo years ot persistent spading will<br />
remove nearly all burdocks from the<br />
es of our farms. Ex.<br />

BLUNDESTONE HALL.<br />
ninnilestnne Is tho very place to appeal<br />
to such a mind as that of Dickens. It<br />
Is thoroughly English, with Its church.<br />
Its mill, Its pound nnd Its Irregular<br />
street, free from nny taint of the Jerry<br />
builder. Tho hall Is a plain edifice,<br />
nestling in a little hollow nmld majes-<br />
tic elms. Here are tho "long passage"<br />
of "enormous perspective" and the<br />
"dark storcroom,""a plncetobcrun past<br />
at night;" and hero are "tho two par-<br />
lors: the parlor In which we sit on an<br />
evening, my mother and I and l'cggoty<br />
for l'cggoty Is qulto our companion<br />
when her work Is done and we nro alone<br />
and the best parlor, where we sit on<br />
a Sunday: grandly, but not comfort-<br />
ably." Tho church, liko many another<br />
In tho district, has an embattled circu-<br />
lar tower, at the western end of navo<br />
and chancel; and It has a roomy porch<br />
surrounded by a sun dial; "and I see<br />
tho red light shining on the sun dial,<br />
and think within myself, 'Is the sun<br />
dial glau, I wonder, that It can tell the<br />
tlmo again?'" It Is rather a dlsap-polntmt-- nt<br />
when you think ot that "high<br />
hacked pew" to note that the church Is<br />
now seated with benches. Of course<br />
when Dickens' namo Is mentioned you<br />
arc pretty certain to elicit recollections<br />

the old cirrler what Mr. Dickens writ<br />
about. Ho wor a right good sort, ho<br />
wor. Many a glass o" alo wo had to-<br />
gether at the Plough. But the girl Peg-got- y<br />
as he kept company with she wor<br />
a bad tin as she turned out." Perhaps<br />
you suggest that there has been a mis-<br />
take somewhere and ask If the carrier's<br />
name was Barkis. "Well, sir," Is tho<br />
answer, "I can't, exactly say, but I think<br />
It was Bill."<br />
The flymen from Lowestoft, again,<br />
will remark to their fares pointing<br />
with their whips "That bo the house<br />
of Mr. Copperlleld. Nice old gentleman<br />
ho wor, to' be sure, and very kind to us<br />
poor drivers. Never gave us less than<br />
half a sov' when wc drlv him Into Lowe-<br />
stoft." Of the male inhabitants a good-<br />
ly proportion Is to a great extent am-<br />
phibious. For when not harvesting or<br />
otherwlso working on tho farm, they<br />
seek their bread on tho waters, as hands<br />
on the fleet of Ashing boats that sail<br />
from the neighboring ports. Tho result<br />
Is that they may be seen In tho fields<br />
garbed as often In guernseys and sou'-weste- rs<br />
as In smocks. And their Ideas,<br />
formed partly on tho land and partly<br />
on the sea, aro equally mixed on many<br />
subject. Soino have a notion that<br />

Coppcrfield has slnco proved the most<br />

that the surpassing merit of the book<br />

FLATTERY A CURSE,<br />
If Wo mr n Am UoIiir Matt Weak Mlmla<br />
Men Aro ItcaponOtdr.<br />
A recent magazine nrtlclo complains<br />
that men nro forever tnlklng of pretty<br />
women, ns if prettlness wero tho solo<br />
nttrlbuto that could make them endura-<br />
ble. Tho nrtlclo continues:<br />
"Pretty women, pretty women, pretty<br />
women! Evcrlnstlngly, unceasingly,<br />
unvaryingly tho same phrase, the same<br />
tone, the same note, tho nges through<br />
and the world over. Aro pretty women<br />
so very few, or so very many? Are<br />
they remarkable for their scarcity, or<br />
remarkable for their commonness?<br />
They who have calm heads and cool<br />
hearts, who dwell In a critical atmos-<br />
phere, d, who neither rant<br />
nor rave, who are not always discov-<br />
ering goddesses in every company, aro<br />
prone to the opinion that nature dis-<br />
tributes physical charms In a niggard-<br />
ly manner, thnt beauty Is prominently<br />
lacking In tho human kind. These so<br />
weary of the Iteration about pretty wo-<br />
men, pretty women, wish sometimes<br />
that not nioro than one woman In a<br />
thousand were really pretty; and In<br />
their weariness they thick thnt their<br />
wish is gratified. Who Is pretty, and<br />
who la not Is a question that never<br />
can be eettlcil. There Is no absolute<br />
fitnndard. Fixed rules exist not. Each<br />
man's Judgment is for him supreme.<br />
She who is hideous to one may bo en-<br />
chanting to another; angels and witches<br />
frequently occupy tho same body.<br />
Beauty depends not on the owner, but<br />
on the percelver. It la far moro ob-<br />
jective than subjective. Tho woman<br />
who pleases a mnn, who attracts blip,<br />
In whom he delights. Is pretty to his<br />
eyes, however plain to tho multitude.<br />
Hence, In a bense, tho wor!J Is full of<br />
pretty women; for somebody Is fond<br />
of every one of them, and sees her In<br />
the best, most favorable l.gJU. She may<br />
not bo beautiful, posltlro'.y, even to<br />
him; she may not seem to havo many<br />
handsome features; but she cannot bo<br />
positively plain; die must be at least<br />
good looking to his partial vision; for,<br />
fortunately, such Is the decree of af-<br />
fection, the canon of sympathy."<br />

find competent help to keep your work<br />

comfort. Tho writer recalls two years<br />

was gathered and remaining until<br />
spring. On one of theso years, wo<br />

Points In Celery Culture. It Is well<br />
known that tho celery plant ib:llghts Iu<br />
a rich and moist soil, and those who<br />
have tho opportunity to use liquid ma--<br />
imrp In cultivation of this nlatit<br />
have a great advantage over others. In<br />
addition to this some cultivators who<br />
grow the celery for market are Intro-<br />
ducing water artificially, and find it to<br />
bo a profitable practice. In this con-<br />
nection Meehan's Monthly cites a grow-<br />
er In Allegheny City, Pa., who has a<br />
supply pipe from one of the city water<br />
mains so arranged that at the end where<br />
the flow commences guauo or some<br />
other artificial fertilizer can bo placed<br />
In the water pipes. Ho can get double'<br />
the crop from'the same ground as by<br />
the ordinary methods, arid stalks that<br />
bring a much higher In market.<br />
