A Spanish Lover.

An unpleasant affair has recently
occurred in Washington which causes
no little excitement. in diplomatic and
fashionable circles. An attqche of the
Spanish Embassy has long been an
admircr Of the only daughter of a re-
tired banker Of Washington, or, at
least Of the " JeaHr yeac de Sa casSette."
The father, for reasons casil y conjcc-
turcd by all prudent parents, forbade
the Spanish cavalier his house. The
Cavalier retired to his lodgings, and
wrote the banker challenge, but
could find no one to deliver it. The
other day the banker was dining with
Mr.. Slidell, who occupies the next
house to his own on Lafayette square.
While partaking Mr.. Slidclrs hospi-
tality, his servant came in and in
formed him that two persons were
hanging about his house in suspi-
ciouS manner. The banker, whom we
will call Mr.. c., requested his friend
Senator Bright, who was of the party,
to accompany him and proceeded with
that gentleman to his own residence.
AS he entered the hall he met his
daughter and proceeding to the picture
gallery, which was lighted only by
the hall lamp which shonc through
the doorway, he found a man snugly
cnsconccd under the piamo-fortc |
Selling him by the collar he dragged
him from his hiding place, and dis
covered him to be no less parsonage
than the Spanish Qt!achc. He discoy-
cred that the aforesaid Spamiard was
ARMED with Il six barrclcd revolver,
which he took from him and then
kicked him incontincntly into the
street. AS he opened the door for
that purpose he discovered another
person Of the same tribe lurking about
the entrance.
The diplomatic corps are rcprescn-
ted as sympathizcrs with the at!acbc
If this be true, it only proves their
esprit dc corPS 10 be greater than their
sense Of decOrum. What other fate

FARMING IN IOWA,

1t is matter of the utmost impor-
tancc to the farmers Of Iowa to deter
mine what kind Of farming to pursue.
We arc remote from eastern markets
and there is some hazard in heavy
crops Of grain, not having stock of
our own to consume it. We do not
remember an instance Of a faamcr
having good stock we'll kept, that
would not sell at fair rates. There is
always market at homo or abroad,
for pork, beef, or work. and road
horses and these can be sent off on
foot, when ready for market, at much
less cost than the same value of
grain can be trnsported in fact the
latter will not generally bear rcmo-
val from the interior, to compete with
grain grown farther East.
The item of hauling, or freight, will
readily be seen to be the principal
drawback to marketing grain, if the
farmer will reflect that in hauling 30
bushcl of corn III the car he makes
up load of 2,l00 lbs. which at 3Octs.
nets him $500. Now we will suppose
him to convert his corn into pork OF
beet, at five cents per pound, he will
find the net proceeds of a load of >, 100
lbs. to be more than ten times that of
a load of corn or in other words, he
can haul with an ordinary two horse
team, a load that will net him $l05.
The same rule will apply to the freight
upon railroads, in the event of ship
ping his corn or meat East or South.
Ii Is for this reason that purchasers
are more plenty, at extreme western
points, for pork and beef, than for
grain. The latter articles will bear
handling, storage and transportation,
simply because there is five cents
per pound value in them, against half
a cent per pound in the case of the
corn.
The same rule would apply to wool,
making the contrast still greater, as
at thirty cents per pound, the team
would haul load worth over 5000.
\ horse of medium weight is worth
fifteen cents per pound, calculating
his value at $50. This will show
that he can be transported to better
advantage than grain or many other
articles Of produce or he can trans
port himself to market, this being
principally a question Of time.
Many persons enormously suppose
that stock cannot be bred and grown
to advantage in Iowa. We are fully
persuaded that this notion is founded
in error We have all the more nec-
cssary clements, taking the country
in state Of nature, viz: plenty Of
native pasture and hay, pure water
and air, and a dry, healthy atmos-
phcrc. The great and prominent ob-
lection seems to bc the temperature
and length of our winters. Stock
can be readily sheltered upcn the
open prairie, by selecting southern
slope, and erecting a cheap frame
work, or log stable, and covering this
thickly with slough grass. There is
no excuse in this country, for any
mans stock having to Withstand the
cold, or face the wind. If his stock
is worth owning, it is worth keeping
well, at least from suffering and detc-
rioration. If his grain and hay is
worth anything, it is worth cconomis-
ing the one third, by furnishing shell.

HORSE PROVERBS.

The Arabs have a host of beautiful
proverbs relating to the horse, in fact
all their knowledge of the horse is
summed up in pithy sayings. Thus
they say: Horses of pure race have
no vice" "Horscs are birds which
have no Wings He who forgets
the beauty Of horses for the beauty of
women will never prosper The good
saint, Ben-el-Abbas, true lover Of
horses, has said:
Love Horses, care for them,
Spare no trouble for them;
BY them comes honor. by them comes beauty,
If horses are abandoned by men,
l make them enter into my family,
! share with them the bread Of my children.
My wives dress them with their own wells,
And cover themselves with their horse cloths,
| lead them every day
On the field of adventure,
fight with the braycst.
Horses, like men, can learn quickly
only when young as the Arabs have
it, the lessons OF infancy arc cngravcn
on stone; the lessons Of mature age
disappear like birds nests. The fol-
lowing proverbs comprise some Of the
soundcst maXims on the subject:
To give drink at sunrise makes the
horse lean to give him drink in the
evening makes him fat to give him
drink in the middle of the day keeps
him in his present condition.
Look out for II large one and buy
him. Barley will make him run.
Make the colt eat at one year
mount him at two or three years |;
feed him well the third and fourth /;
then re-mount him; ii he does not suit
you, sell him without hesitation.
Prefer the horse Of the mountain to
the horse of the plain, and the latter
to the horse Of the marsh, which is
only good to carry pack saddle.
A good horseman ought to know
the measure of barley which suits his
horse, as well as the measure OF pow
der which suits his gun.
When you have bought horse.
study him with care. and give him
barley in progressive quantities TIL
you have arrived at the precise amount
requisite for his appetite.
TO prepare a horse that is too fat
for the fatigucs Of war, make him poor
by exercise, never by deprivation of
nourishment.

The Song of the Camp.
A CRIMEAN INCIDENT

BY EAYaFp ThYIOR.


&" Give us song" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding.
hen the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary Of bumbardiug.
The darl, Redan, in silent scott.
Lay grim and thrcaetning, under;
And the tawny mound of the Malaboff
No longer bclchcd its thunder
There was pause. The guardsmcn said,
We storm the forts tomorrow
Sing while we may. another day
Will bring enough of Sorrow''
They lay along the battery sidc,
Below the smoking Cannon-
Brave hearts. from Severn and from Clv,lc.
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang Of love, and not Of fame,
Forgot wis Britain'S glory;
Each heart recalled q different name.
But all sang " Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song
Until its tender passion
Ros" like an anthem rich and strong
Their battlc-cyc confession,
Dear Lirl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet. as the song grew louder.
Something upon the soldier ; cheek
Washed oil the stain Of powder.
Beyond the darkcning ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Ciimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire Of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream Of shot and burst Of she'll,
And believing Of mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For singer, dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang tor Annie Laurie"
All. soldiers to your honored rest
Your truth and valOT hearing
The bravest are the trndcrcst -
The loving are the daring.

SIX YEARS AMONG THE INDIANS.

In the spring of 1871 a family by
the name Of Oatman was attacked by
the Apache Indians, while cudeavor-
Ing to reach California 10y the old San
Ia Fc route. Two daughters were
carried into captivity, and the young
er died while in the hands of the saw
ages. The other was rescued two
years since, when she joined her bro
thcr in California. Recently they ar
rived together in New York. This
brother and sister arc the sole survi
vors of family Of nine persons. The
history Of the family is as fol lows
Mr.. Roysc Oatman, the father, was
a native Of Western New York. In
1916 the family settled in log cabin,
not far from the village of Fulton, Ill.
In lS49 an effort was made TO organ
iZe Il party to cmigratc to that portion
of New Mexico lying between the
Colorado and ella. Mr.. Oatman cast
in his lot with the company, and in
the spring of 1850 started for his new
home In August they had progress
ed on their journey as far as Council
Grove, on the old Santa Fc road Al
this point disscnsiOns broke out among
the party. The difficulties widcned,
until finally the Oatman family found
themselves nearly alone. Nothing
dauntcd. they pursued their iourncv,
At the Rio Grandc they took the Cook
and keaney route, and in February
1851, reached the Pimo village. The

ADVANTAGE OF A LONG NOSE.

Haydn once challenged his pupil
to compose 4 piece Of music which he
could not play at sight Mozart ac-
ccpted the banter, and a supper and
champagne We're to bc the forfeit.
Mozart took his pen, and in five mUt-
utcs dashed off a piece Of music, and
much to the surprise Of Haydn, hand
cd it TO him, saying: "Thcrc is
piece Of music which You cannot play,
and can. You are to give it the
first trial.
Haydn smiled contcmptuously at
the presumption of his pupil, and pla-
cling the notes before him, struck the
keys Of the instrument. Surprised at
its simplicity. he dashed away until
he reached the middle of the piece,
when stopping at once, he cx-
claimed : How is this, Mozart, how
is this? Here my hands are stretched
to both ends of the piano, and yet there
is Il middle key to be touched No
body can play such music
Mozart smiled at the hall-cXcitcd i'll
dignation of the great master, and
taking the seat he had quilted, struck
the keys with such an air of sclt-assu-
rance, that Haydn began to think
himself dupcd. Running along the
simple passages, Inc came TO that part
which his teacher pronounced impossi-
bic. Mozart, as many are aware, was
endowed with very long nose, which,
i'll modern dialect. stuck out about
a feet" Reaching the difficult pas
sage, he stretched both hands to the
extremity Of the piano, and leaning
forward, bobbcd his nose against the
middle key, which ''nobody could play"
Haydn burst into an immodcrate
fit of laughter. and after acknowledge
ing the "corn," declared that Nature
had endowed Mozart with capacity
for music which lie had never before
discovered.
