Burning Of MarMick Castle.

Warwick Castle, the splendid an
cestral seat of the Earls Of Warwick,
whose irreparable injury by fire is
reported by cable telegram, was we'll
known to travellers and historical
students generally. 1t was not only
one of the most magnificent feudal
fortresses of England, but also the
only remaining one of the great baro-
nial strongholds which was in an ex-
cellent state of preservation, and used
with comfort as family residence
The building was situated between
the town of Warwick and the river
Avon. 1t lowered on a steep activity,
and thus commanded the underlying
country for miles. Tradition and his
tory go to show that Warwick Castle
was founded by Ethelfieda, daughter
Of King Alfred. Its strongest towers
were named Guys and Caesars tow
er, respectively. The noble War
wick vase, which was found in lake
near Tivoil, was kept on the castle
grounds, which are ample and laid
out, on both sides of the Avon, with
great taste after very large outlay of
money. The castle contained a fine
collection of paintings, some of them
are works Of great magnificanee.-
The ruins of many monasteries are to
be seen around the town Of Warwick,
the battered and blackensd fragments
Of the walls Of these seats Of education
and religion appearing almost in view
Of the dwelling of the Earl. The earl
dom Of Warwick was represented by
the famous Guy de Deauchamp in the
year 1898. Guy died in the Castle on
the 18th Of August, in 1915. The
earldom was held by Richard Neville,
the ''King Maker" 1t was forfeited
by attainder after the battle of Barnet
and the violent death of the "King
Maker" but was afterwards restored.

.Mhat l Know ahout MarIne Matters.,

The other day, the river editor OF
the Louisville Commercial was absent.
His sub" got up the department in
the following style:
PERsoNAL.-In the absence of the
regular editor of this department, the
writer has assumed the duties Of river
reporter. Having had considerable
experience on the Erie canal, as the
conductor of the motive power, we
profess to know 8 thing or two about
marine matters. The items in this
column may be relied on as being Of
the latest cut, and as original as scis-
sors can make them. With this un-
derstanding the following items are
prepared:
We regret to announce that the riv-
er opposite this city continues to fall.

The magnificent low pressure,

The writer fails to see the absolute
necessity Of charging steamboats, for

The Federal steamboat law is silent
on this Important point, and the evil
can only be overcome by amending
the Constitution
There is rumor on the wharf that
Messrs. Howard & Co.. contemplate

a basement below. The craft is to

THE FARMERS CLUB.

The club is to the farmer, old or
young, a school, He is learning all
the time how tO express his views
clearly. The views of his neighbOrs
draw out new thoughts on new sub
jects, and these thoughts find express
sion. Lawyers gain strength by long
years of study, and then by practice
st the bar. The young lawyer making
his first speech is as miserable and as
awkward as the young farmer making
his first public effort. The lawyers
business compels him to swallow en-
barrassment and annoyance, and goads
him on to effort upon effort. The
young farmer not feeling the neces-
sity for this, makes no further ven
ture. The lawyer goes on and be-
comes famous as good tAlker and
fine reasoneI. The same practice
would have made the young farmer as
good a talker, and a stronger, more
efficient worker in his field of duty.

Gated farmers, bring this skill and this

A Washington correspondent of the

A Washington correspondent of the
Ohio State Journal writes as follows :
A Government Clerk, or any other
small salaried man, can get his board
and room in Washington for thirty
dollars per month. He must not put
on any damfrils and insist on bald
headed butter, however, ,InOr will he be
permitted to turn up his nose at fried
meat, fOr this money. Should these
things, like worm in the bud, tear
up his mind, he may comfort HIM
self with the reflection that his sky
parlor is luxurious and exceedingly
commodious. When the window is
open the room will hold two persons
very comfortably, which is some
thing in these tight times. Occasion
ally you will find member OF Con-
gress who lives in this style, but not
often. When you do, you will gener-
ally find him to be man who is am
ply able to spend ten thousand a year,
but he chooses rather that good part
which Is economy, and saves up his
money to ruin his boy. The ordinary
thing for a member of Congress, is a
room at from thirty to seventy-five
dollars q month, and day board at
hotel for thirty-five or forty dollars q
month, This latter seems to be by
far the most comfortable way of liY-
ing, unless one goes to house keep
ing, as many do. Fernando Wood
lives elegantly in his own house at
the rate of about ten thousand a year,
He gives frequent evening parties
which are spoken Of as costly and su-
perb. Hon. S. S. Cox lives at the
Arlington and pays five hundred dol
lars a month for rooms and table for
himself and his wife. He gave an en-
tertainment there at the last session
which, it is said, cost him eighteen
hundred dollars. There are, ofcourse,
many other instances l could give to
illustrate this phase Of Life in Wash

pose to show that anybody can live

ed as being in a most promising con
dltlon. Good discipline has been
maintained in the government of the
lneorrlglble boys, who are sent there

has been advanced, and those who
have the school in charge have the as
surance that their labors have not
been in vain.

ment. returned on an old commit
ment, and 4 returned Voluntarily
During the year 1872 have been dis
charged, and $40 remain at the insf-
tuition at the close Of the school wear.
That the shops connected with the
farm have been busy places. is shown
Oy the fact that during the year the
NUMBER OF boots and shoes made and
repaired reaches the rather large num-
Der OF Sl29, while the articles made
and mended in the tailor shop foot
up S2l2. During the year 6134 bushels
OF fruit have been sold at good prices,
in addition to what was used at the
institution.
The report for the year states that
the schools will compare fayOrably
with the common schools Of the State.
In addition to attending school, about
half the pupils are engaged in clear
ing land, wood ehopping, tilling the
soil and gathering its products, feed
ing and caring for stock. Fifty boys
work IN the chair shop, ten in the
shoe shop, twenty in the broom shop,
twenty IN the tailor shop, fifty in the
garden, and during the fruit season a
large force are employed in making
boxes, gathering fruit, etc.

in progress and others are in contem
platiOn- An artesian well 305 feet
deep has been bored, and a chapel and
