which was unanimously agreed 10:
Resoired, That in the Judgment of this
House, the policy of granting subsidies in
public lands to railroads and other corpora

reasonable appropriation of such lands for the
purposes of education.

THE manner in which they prepare the
ground for seeding and the method adopted
for harvesting in the grain on the tule lands
down on the San Joaquin river, is both nov
ell and economical. The farmer plows the
ground with fire. He sets the tall tules on
fire, and after they have burned down to the
surface of the soil, he sows his wheat in the
ashes. Next comes the narrowing in of tho
seed This is done in two ways: One
method is to herd flock of sheep over the
ground seeded until the ashes are trampled
down solid; the other plan is tof fasten kind
of broad shoes, to the feet of band of hors-
es and drive them about until the ashes are
lranped sufficiently firm, then the grain is
sowed and the farmer awaits the harvest. -

This gentleman, who already fills large

prominence by his performance in the Senate

of it who did not regret that Senator Davis
did not smite Butler full in his obique op-

qualified by tie after thought that such a
punishment, richly deserved though it might
have been would have been seized upon by
unscrupulous manufacturers Of public opm-
ion as an ebuliton of Southern hate and vio-
lence. If only some New England man had

ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY.
BY ALICE CAREY.

The boy who does stroke and stops,
Will ne 'er a great man be:
It's the aggregate Of single drops
That makes the sea the sea.
The mountain was not at its birth
A mountain, so to speak;
The little atoms of sand and earth
Have made ITS peak peak.
Not all at once the morning streams
The gold above the gray;
'Tis thousand little yellow CLEANS
That make the day the day.
Not from the snow drift May awakos
In puppies, reds, and greens;
Springs whole bright retinue it takes
To make her queen of queens.
Upon the orchard rain must fall,
And soak from branch to root
And blossoms bloom and fade withal,
Before the fruit is fruit.
The farmer needs must SOW and till,
And wait the weaten bread,
Then cradle, thresh and 90 to mill,
Before the bread is bread,
Swift heel may get the early shout,
But spite Of all the din,
1t is the patient holding out
That makes the winner win.
Make this your motto, then, at start,
Twill help to smooth the way,
And steady up both hand and heart
Rome wQsr Z built in n day"
