Judge Davis. Ii would seem only a fair deduction,
from careful reading OF the various reports, that
Greeley's candidacy amounts to Tery little, ana
that Davis is at present 81 least rather behind in
the race. Hasted Of the Cincinnati Commercial

they wont support Davis it nominated, and from
some reported conversations OF these gentlemen 1t
would appear they will support nobody but
Adams. Newspaper men are already on the held

To every person seeking mutual insurance this fact Is very
important.
The cost OF the Insurance depends upon the vitality OF the

The Prompt Commissioners Of The NeaO York Life

Security: --
We now come to a brilliant, onward, approved embodiment
OF American Life Insurance-the Security Life Insurance Com
papy of New York. A politician would say, the Security is
the peoples choice. It has certainly strong popular endorse
ment. By the Atlantic, the Mississippi, and the Pacific, the
voice of thousands speak it fair. The Security attained the
greatest increase of annual business in 1870 over 1859 Of all
the life companies of the United States. When this is consid-
cred In connection with the past progress OF the office, its
future rank on the life roll is a subject Of no difficult conjecture.
Even with the additions Of 1870 there is no disproportiOHa'e
outgrowth. 1t has been regularly built up to the present pro-
portion, not suddenly projected Forward 1t has passed ahead
of other companies by the due operation and momentum OF its
own normal law Of accumulation.

t.,rc great artist. This boy, from the
time when he guarded the flocks in CON-
pany with Pietro, had had faith in the
future of his friend. He had said on
leaving him, that when he found him
self able to assist him, he would let
him know, and he kept his word.
When Pietro arrived, place was
ready for his reception, very modest
and very humble, it is true, but it prov
cd how far the resources of a good heart
aro able to reach. Tho scullion offered
tho newcomer half of the poor bed
which he occupied in a little chamber
under the roof of the palace, and cngag-
ed to nourish him with the desert from
the cardinals table,-a part of which
belonged to HIM according to tho GUS
tom in great houses. For two whole
years Pietro accepted from his friend,
not only this, but some pieces of money
beside, of which he had need to buy
paper and pencils. As long as the day
light lasted he remained in the city
copying pictures and statues when he
returned in the evening, he fastened
upon the walls of the little chamber
the copies which he had made.
One day the scullion managed mat
tiers no that several of PietrO's draw
ings fell under the notice of the car
dinal, who admired them and wished
to see their author. Ileave You to i'm
agino what a fine day this was for the
poor little fellow, on which he was able
to avow the clandestinc hospitality
which he had given to Pietro and with
what pride he marched in, conducting
his friend before the prelate, who had
promised to befriend him, and who did
not fail to keep his promise. Pietro
da Cortona became illustrious and rich
but honors and riches never caused
him to forget the noble heart which
had served him in his time of obscurity
and misery.-Mo,W Carleton.

TELEGRAPH IN SWADDLING-

\ "Reminiscences Of Prof. Morse.
"Miss Grundy," the Washington cor
respondent of the New York World,
tells the following story:
Of course there are not a few in
Washington who remember Morse When
struggling here in poverty, and urging
the passage of the appropriation by Con.
gress for an experimental telegraph line.
On one e'casi0n Mr.. John 8. Cunning
ham, now pay director in the navy, and
Mr.. Jasper Dowlirg, of South Carolina,
went to the room set apart for Morse at
the capitol on visit Of curiosity. At
that time the building was without the
two wings, and was, of course, much
smaller than at present. To demon.
strate the working of his invention Prof.
Morse had extended a wire from the
Senate side to that of the House, and
Mr.. Vail presided at one end and he at
the other. The two gentlemen having
presented themselves to Prof Morse,
said:
1--WE hear you claim to transmit
thought by electricity; will you de-
monstrate it to us2"
Certainly" said Prof. Morse. "If
you will run as fast as you can to the
other end of the capitol, to Mr.. Wallis
room, he will tell you your names as
soon as you get there"
To this the gentlemen agreed, and
running at top speed, to Mr.. Wallis
Office, were surprised to hear him say,
the moment they entered:
"Gentlemen, I don't know you, but
Mr.. Morse has just sent me the names
of Cunningham and Dowlinq."
OF course, no better illustration of
the workings of the new discovery
could have been given.

Advices from Naples received within
the past few days, announce thata fresh
eruption has opened in Mount Vesuvi-
us, the ashes and lava of which threaten
the villages on the mountain side. Tho
inhabitants have removed their goods
and are encamped in the fields. The
bay If Naples is covered with boats fill

and terrible beyond description. The
flames ut times shoot up to great
height, and masses of rock are elected
with earthquake shocks which are dis

II is asserted that many tourists were
surrounded by the lava and persisted.
A Naples correspondent of the Lon.

partial contradiction of this report,

ascertain IT any guests were among
those injured by the lava from Vesuvi'

the deaths being confined to residents
OF The villages on the sides and at the

Africa, and knows the habits of the
birds. He has therefore enclosed
ten acres of land with a fence of
oak piles, covered with cast iron, to
prevent the poultry from eating up the
boundary. The provision for Matching
out the young is simply layer, several
feet deep, of sand in one corner of the
enclosure. In order to give this the
requisite amount of heat to bring out
the young, the sand will be freely mixed
with cayenne pepper, which will have
the further effect of destroying vermin.
The rest of the yard will be used as a
breeding and exercising ground. The
birds will have to run good deal, and
for this purpose men will be kept with
spears and on fast horses to chase them
if they are inclined to be lazy. They
will be fed cheaply, as
they are very fond of old

the Herald thinks that the usual diet
will be pig iron chopped fine and boiled

Horses I'm Stables.

Horses kept in the stables and not
doing much work should be regularly
cleaned and fed. Some farmer seem to
think that unless horse is to be taken
ont to work he does not need cleaning.
Such q man, to be consistent, ought
not to wash himself unless he is going
to town. We feed our horses one bush
81 of chopped straw (say eight pounds, }
moistened with water and mixed with
two quarts of corn meal to each team,
three times q day. They are allowed
straw in their racks at say eight o'clock
in the morning, aud let them have no
food before them until noon. Then
feed them and remove all that Is left in
the rack at two o'clock, and feed them
again at night, letting them have all
the straw they will ent until morning.
In this way, horses that are standing
in the stable will eat more heartily than
if the food is before them all the time.
If they are worked feed a. little more
grain or hay. A few ruta-bagas or car
rots may be fed to the horses with great
advantage, say half a bushel per day
to each team. As spring approaches
feed more iberally.-Amecy5con Argi-
cutte,rist.
