Procession OF the Trades Unions
supposed Murder.


CHICAGO, May 14.-To-morrow the
various trades unions OF the city will
unite in a grand procession, which
promises to be an immense affair. 1t
is difficult to estimate the exact number
of workmen now in the city, but there
are not less than $4,000. The Carpen'
ters' Union is one of the largest and
best organized, and has a membership
of $4,000, while there can hardly be less
than l2,000of them in the city. The
bricklayers number some 10000 men,
and have three unions, which have
upon their rolls about the same mum.
Der. With the carpenters there are
plasterers, joiners, stone cutters and
others, each having separate union
organizations, and together control not
less than 10000. 1t is thought the
procession will number $4,000 or 10000
men. 1t is claimed that there is no in
tention OF organizing a strike.
This mornings policeman discovered
the dead body oil a man floating in the
water at the Twelfth street bridge The
corpse was removed to the dock, and
bullet hole found in the left breast
directly over the heart The body was
that OF man about Il years old, with
long dark hair, smooth face and about
fve feet eight inches high. 1t is con-
sidered certain that the young man was
murdered. About nine days ago loud
alteration WAS heard in the vicinity OF
the river and afterward a shot was
heard, accompanied BY loud cry, after
which all was quiet. The police made
search, but could discover nothing.

Orleans Times, a bitter snti.Grant paper,
urges upon the President the necessity
of appointing John NJ. G. Parker, a
brother.in.law Of General Buffers, to
the vacant collectorship Of the port Of
New Orleans. This is the same Par
ker denounced by Warmoth as the
biggest liar in the country.
Mr.. Joseph II. Wilson addressed a
large audience in the Fourth ward last
evening. He made stirring speech in
favor OF Grant the necessity of the
unity of the Republican party, and
reviewed the acts of Mr.. Greeley dur
ing the war. His speech in favor Of
Grant was argumentative and logical,
and was interrupted with bursts OF ap.
plause. COL George w. Carter fol
lowed Mr.. Wilson in mastery dec
lamation. His address was unsur-
passed by any speaker in the State.
He gave history Of the Republican
party since its incipiency and narrated
the acts performed by General Grant
as soldier and statesman in thrilling
language.

FARM AND GARDEN.
HUNGARIAN GRASS.

A correspondent writes: The trouble
about Hungarian grass is, that it is not gen.
orally cut at the proper time. l have raised
it several years, and consider it the very
best hay for horses. They will keep fat on
it where on timothy they viii grow poor. l
SOW one-half bushel per acre. 1t then
makes fine hay, and on good land should
yield from two to three tons per acre. Cut
it when in the blew, before any seed is
formed; wilt in the swath the same as clover
and make in the cock. The stock is nearly
solid and the hay very heavy, and if made
in this way will be as green as grass, and a
horse will want very little grain for ordin-
airy farm work. only feed grain in the
spring when doing heavy blowing. Give
your horses all they will eat of it, and they
will fat with decent usage. But if allowed
to turn yellow and form seed, it is the same
as any other grain, and will, of course, in
lure horse the same as if he. were fed with
wheat in the bundle to excess. Any over
fed grain is bad. 1t is better to rake it by
hand, but on good soil you will tumble up
big cock in small space.
