II is stated upon good authority,
says the Washington Patriot, that Ca
Diet Grant, son Of the President, was
one of the principal persons engaged
in the outrage by which the three
young men, Baird, Barres and Flick
linger, were brutaIly driven from the
West Point Academy, and who, after
their return, were coerced into resig-
nation by alarm. Their designations
were accepted without the usual fo'm
of consulting the parents, and the
whole proceeding indicates a DISPOSE
ton to protect the perpetrators, rather
than the victims, Of this cruel and
shameful proceeding. The committee
of the House Of Representatives owe
il TO the country to probe this matter
to the bottom, and General Slocum
is relied upon fora faithful report of
the facts. This is not the first occa-
sion in which Cadet Grant has figured
in violating the discipline of the
Academy, and been upheld by orders
Of higher authority. .

How to Make Hens Lay.

People would better understand this
matter, says the Country Gentleman,
if they considered for a moment a hen
to be, as she is, a small steam engine,
with an egg-laylng attachment, and
thus there must be a constant supply of
good feed and pure water to keep the
engine and its attachment up to its
work. In addition to keeping before
hens, who have a complete liberty, a
constant supply of pure water summer
and winter, | have found that during
the cool and cold weather Of fall, winter
and spring, q dough compounded as
follows, feed one day and then inter-
mitted for two days, to produce excel
lent results: To three gallons of boil
ing water add one half an ounce OF
common salt, q t~easpOontul of cayenne
pepper, and four ounces Of lard. Stir
the mixture until the pepper has inn
parted considerable of Its strength to
the water. Meantime the salt will
have been dissolved and the lard melt
ed. Then, while yet boiling hot, stiI
in a meal made Of oats and corn ground
together in equal proportions, until
stiff mush is formed. Set away t
cool down to a milk warmth. Befor
feeding, taste to see that you have o.
overdose neither of salt nor pepper
and to prevent the hens being impos4(
upon with a mixture not fit to be eaten
The hen mush should not be more sal
than to suit your owDtas nor 80 no
with pepper that you could not swal.
: low it were 30 much in your broth
Beware of too much salt, too mucl
lard, and too much pepper, and bewar,
too, where the seasoning Is not to higl
: of fee ding this dough too long at a trial
+ Let the hens be fed one day fully witt
it, then let it be omitted and the ordi
nary feed given two days, and soon
and the results will be found satisfacto

For the Daily Spy.)

The "agitations of the times" are bringing to
the surface not few earnest and able women,
who are making themselves felt in literature
and art, and in public life as well. We are al
ways glad to note the onward march of the
worthy aspirants for fame of either sex. A
new female star has arisen, as far east as our
little Sister Rhody's domains,-and here is what
the Providence Press says of her. She seems to
be one of those favored prophetesses who are
not without honor in their own countries:
"Miss Kate Stanton, with whose name the
public are growing familiar, was born in Charles
town, in this state. Her mother dying when
she was quite young, the charge of her sister,
three brothers and herself was taken by her
grandmother. This lady believed in equal priv
lleges for the sexes, and that what was good for
one was good for the other. AT school no differ
ence was made in the studies, which were puT-
sued together, us were both work and play in
the open air. To this natural method of exer-
else she may be indebted for an excellent con-
stitution and almost eXhaustless vitality. She
was successful as a teacher at the age of six
teen, and afterwards Travelled on the continent
for three years, visiting Holland and Germany
alone, making herself familiar with the people,
and pertecting her knowledge Of German and
French, and Of human nature. Returning to
her native state, she has for sometime been en-
gagged in the study of law, but her active mind
and benevolent spirit leading her to enlist with
enthusiasm in the cause of temperance, she has
become an associate editress of the New World,
published in this city. 1t Is understood that
Miss Stanton intends entering the lecture field,
in which, with her clear and well-trained voice
and sprightly yet refined manner, she will doubt
less meet with success
We learn from other sources that Miss STAN
ton represents the best blood of the gallant little
state of Rhode Island, being allied to the Greene
and other distinguished families; and though
aristocratic in her breeding, she is "mOst
CHEEKY and inspiring little democrat" in her
ways, and radical in her advocacy of all meas
ures which tend to enlarge the area OF human
freedom and rights in a healthful manner. She
is announced, it seems, to take the field the
coming lecture season, upon the interesting sub
ject, "When to Marry" which, it is said, she
will handle in a mastery as well as lively man

Captain John Wicks, emulous of the Ragusa,
is constructing a raft Is feet long by IL feet
wide of inflated rubber tubes, upon which, with
only boy for crew, not even enlisting a bull
dog, he proposes to cross the Atlantic. He ac-
complished the feat in 1857 with a raft of similar
construction, but much larger and carrying
larger crew.
DIR. Prestel, q German naturalist attributes
the cold weather in Europe, during the late
spring, to the frequency of aurora borealis and
spots on the sun. He says that the same kind
of wheather, and frequent occurrence of those
phenomena, were observed in 1888, 1910, and
1860, in intervals, therefore, of eleven years,
and prophesies a comparatively cool summer
and cool fall for Europe.
Constantnople is to be connected with the
ASiatic coast by a railroad tunnel, consisting of
sheet-iron double tubes, under the water of the
Bosphorus. The tunnel is TO become about
1900 feet long, 10 feet in diameter, in the clear
and to be placed SO feet below the level of the
water, in order not to obstruct navigation.

The manufacturers of American watches
have had reason to complain of the bogus

gagged in manufacturing watches in this coun-
try would furnish the secretary of the treasury
fac-simile of their trademarks the same
should be sent to collectors of customs through
out the country, and they be instructed to re-
fuse entry to any foreign watches assimilating
the trademarks OF American watches. The
American watch company, Of Waltham, have
complied with their part Of the law by sending
large number of sheets on which are accurately
printed the trademark of all the watches manu-
featured by them

White Mountain region, made doubly attractive
and interesting by the genius of Starr King.
For long distance the track follows the valley
of the broad and shallow Androscoggin-one of
the crockedest of streams. Then comes the
smaller, but not less romantic Ammonoosac.
The road passes the very door of the Alpine
house, where passengers alight who desire to go
tOlthe "Glen" house. Soon comes Northum-
berland, where stages connect for Lancaster
now in communication with the lower railways
by new link.
From the White Mountain country we emerged
into the broad level, prairie-like region of Cam
ada, passing along the banks of the ST. Francis
and Richelieu rivers. How striking the change
from one country to anotherl No eye can miss
it. From trim, spacious houses, well-kept fences,
betokening enterprise, and the republic, we come
to the low-roofed, rough-looking cottages and
struggling fences Of the Dominion.
The cities of Canada compare favorably with
the American, but the rural districts have cling
ing to them the ways Of the past, and almost

more to the people, who seem contend with the
"things that were, those at least who do not
emgrate to the Estates"
The commonist crop was peas, sown broad
cast as though grain There was some corn,
few oats, and an occasional batch of barley, but
no fruit, not even apples. Stretching away to
the horizon for miles on either side, for long dis
tances, was apparently an interminable forest,
a source of large income to the people, and of
value to the Estates" The population seems
stationary, or diminishing. There were more
signs of decay than of growth. What is the
reason, and where the remedy2 These questions
l may try to answer in future letters. But,
taken all in all, the journey from the metropolis
of the Pine Tree state to that of the Dominion

known their views let me mention this incident
After the insult Saturday evening to Messrs
Stevenson and Wallace, my informant was in a
drinking saloon with some of the party who
made the attack, and, speaking of Wallace,
they all declared he'd be killed. In answer to a
suggestion of kukluxing, one spoke up, saying:
"Why, we've been to his house half dozen
times, but always failed to find him. We'lhave
him yet-scallawag." In this humane sugges-
ton the Others joined
TENOR OF WITNESSES.
The subcommittee have examined up to Sat
urday one hundred and ten witnesses. Most of
them were very reluctant to testify. Some of
the outrages sworn to are by far too horrible to
repeat or even believe. Even to think of them
makes one desire to mentally rinse the mouth,
at least. Mr.. Van Trump is almost as much
shocked as his republican colleagues. The poor
negroes in the section visited are in great dread.
Before leaving Spartauburg and Unionville, it
is understood that Senator Scott called the lead
ing democrats together and informed that in all
probability martial law would be proclaimed in
the disaffected counties. He told them plainly
the only way to prevent this was to themselves
suppress the disorder and especially to see that
the witnesses were protected.
MARTIAL LAW AND "sHoRT SHIFT"
NEEDED.
1t is understood that the republican members
ofthe committee are united IN a conviction, from
the evidence taken, that in certain districts in
North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Alaba-
ma portion of Georgia and Tennessee there is
no remedy capable of checking this organized
assassination, except that of proclaiming mar
tial law. Senator Scott will, it is re-
ported, at once visit the president, and
urge him to take more stringent measures.
The attorney general has already made re-
quest for the evidence taken with view to ex-
amining the same. He is thoroughly impressed
with the shocking condition of affairs. The ap-
pointment of special district attorneys for en-
forcing the kuklux law, was at his suggestion.
Information, not given to the public, has been
recently received, which has rendered necessary
the southwark movement of troops. Additional
cavalry has already been sent to northern Mis-
sissippi and into the worst portions Of the Caro-
lnas. Infantry is also being moved for gari-
sons. In some portions of the states named
open resistance is threatened. The devilish cum
ming with which the kuklux manage their fiend-
ish organization, will probably serve them well
enough to prevent a movement on their part
which would, in the present condition of affairs,
be more than desirable. Open resistance could
not make the loyal peoples condition worse,
while it would compel the assassins being
crushed, and at once, with the iron hand.
