A Washington letter to the Baltimore
Gazette says: "rhe fearful depravity mani
tested in official circles here far exceeds any.
thing ever before known, and it has become
so open and palpable that leading radicals
are expressing great disgust In a CONVEX
sation last evening, q radical editor who, in
the better days of the republic, had been a
prominent Democrat, declared that no 60
vernment on earth could long continue
under the corruption as now openly prac-
ticed here in high quarters, and his honest
belief was that the only salvation for this
country was to reinstate the old Democratic
party. His brother, also radical convert
from the Democracy, exclaimed, Treason,
treason You may call it what you please, )
said the first speaker, but no one knows
better than yourself the truth of what say. ,
General Sickles, who was present during the
conversation, remarked, I don't know
about reinstating the Democracy, but do
know leave here this evening thoroughly
disgusted at what have Witnessed Dur
ing the conversation it was stated to be n
fact that a brother-in-aw to President
Grant was regularly engaged in selling, and
at high prices too, his letters of recommen-
dation for Office. In q word, the Federal
Capitol is now regarded by all parties here
as a vast gambling hell, in which the pub
lie Offices are played for, won and lost as
coins of gold and silver would be at Baden

The Salt Lake Reporter says: "We never
could understand why Brigham Young
should take the eagle for his emblem That
royal bird is strict monogamst; he has one
mate and is noted for his faithfulness to her,
defending her with his life Now, if Brig
ham had chosen the rooster we could see
the point at once. We venture to suggest
the change even now."
Senator Ross, on Friday, secured the re-
lection of the person nominated for post.
master at Lawrence. Kansas. This was one
of the appointments over which Grant and
Ross had their quarrel tho other day. Ross,
in executive session. demanded that the
selection of postmaster for a Senator's own
town, by courtesy, belonged to the Senator,
and in this WAS sustained with only eight
votes in the negative.
The Washington Chronicle says that con.
siderable complaint is made by the Southern
Republican Senators in consequence of what
they allege to be the unequal distribution oi
the foreign appointments.

All wish to live long, but none to be

Take help of many, advice of few.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

GILBERT MOTHERS DE LAFAYETTE
Lord CORVALLIS Capitulaton
Yorktown.
October 18th, 17S1
The works bear the name of L. Halifax.
London, 17G9. An outside copper case be-
longed to the watch at one time, but this has
never been in Dr. Wards possession.
The watch was taken to Louisville by a
policeman of that city, who bought it from
needy Frenchman in Sacramento CAL, in
1858. The Frenchman and the officer hap
pened at the same hotel, and the former,
being in need, was glad to part with it for
the sake of little very necessary money.
The officer afterward pawned it, and it after
ward fell into the hands of auctioneers, who,
in November last, offered it at auction DIR.
Ward, putting in the highest bid secured
it, and has kept it up to the present tine.
He has written to Paris to notify some of
the members of LaFayette's family, but,
none of them being in Paris. he has as yet
been unable to reach any of them by letter.
The watch is believed to have been taken
at the time the house of Lafayette was mob
bed, in 1894, during the French Revolution,
as otherwise it could hardly have reached
this side the water and got into the hands of
the pawnbrokers.

Hog Pens.

Hog Pens.
Every farmer knows how offensive a
common sized hog pen or yard becomes
during the hot weather of summer, and
how during a rainy time it becomes in
fact swamp of mud. TO remedy this,
those who have abundance fill up with
straw or other litter, ashes, ETC., and yet
the remedy is only partial; the smell is
not disposed Of, and the animals are full
half the time wading in the mire.
The following manner Of building a
pen we have known to remedy the evil
completely: Take two pieces of six by
eight timber each fourteen feet long !;
dress one form of each in the form of a
sled runner, then lay them parallel
about eight feet apart, with the six inch
edge on the ground; now take four by
four scantling and halve or tenant in
crosswise one piece at each end, and one
foot from the ends of the runners, leaving
the four inch strips one and half in
ches below the level line of the upper
side of the runners next lay floor of
one and one-half inch plank over one
half the surface, say eight by six feet.
Next mortice in four by four scantling
at each corner and midways for posts
on which to nail boards for enclosing.
Let these four by four posts be flush
with the outside line of the runners
then nail inch boards ON the inside,
dividing the whole with cross fence
or partition on line of the floor. Roof
over the foored part from the trough
across one end or side of the foorcd
part, and with a side door shut your
hogs in or out Of that part-and your
pen is completed.
Now you ask where is the benefit Of
this pen over any common one with
posts set in the ground? We answer
you can hitch team to it and remove
it to any part of your grounds placing
it from time. to time where it is mos'
convenient to feed, ETC., besides enrich
ing various spots of ground and having
a dry piece and fresh ground to worl
in.-OhiO Farmer.
