There were but three or four bass voices
in the whole company, but my friend
was numbered among them. | saw he
husbanded his breath for this, as a strong
man saves his strength for some great
effort. Nevertheless, l could hear al
ternating with the musical words,

the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of the brittle shell that was between us
and eternity. 1t was wondrous relief
when four parts instead of one, aud a
hundred voices instead of four took up
the words which seemed like an anthem
of praise,
"Extol the stem of Jesse's rod.
| And crown him Lord of all"
We were now approaching the middle

boisterous noise that marked our starting,
each one untying his own sled or sleigh
and joining the little party with which
he came. But of the peril through
which they had passed, the danger from
which they had been rescued, not one
had the slightest intimation. For my
friend and myself-the only ones who
were aware of our wonderful deliverance
we were left alone. And there On
that rocky beach, with the stars above
us, we sank upon our knees, our arms
entwining each others neck. 1t was a
silent prayer we offered an offering of
thanks to " the Giver of every good and

all those who had been brought out of

we silently walked to our home.

ANEcDoTE OF GREELEY.-Among the
good stories told at the expense of Mr..
Greeley's chirography is this: Years
ago, when young man, he received a
poem from young lady in Vermont.
He strongly suspected that all poetry
was nonsense, especially if the lines did
not square at both ends, aud as this par
ticular poem did not come up to his pc,
culiar mechanical standard for such lit
erature, he threw it into the waste basK-
ct, and wrote to the author that he
thought she would do better to marry
the first honest man that offered her his
hand, and mend his hose and tend his
babies, than to rack her brain in trying
to write rhymes that nobody would read.
The poor girl received the cruel letter,
but could only decipher the writer's
name. She showed it to her mother, and
she too was nonplussed. A council of
inquiry was held over the strange docu-
ment, which was finally interpreted as
proposal to marry the author of the re-
jected rhymes. After some inquiry into
the character of Mr.. Greeley, the propo-
sal was accepted, greatly to the surprise
of the young editor, who was SO much
pleased with the prize he had won that
he bought the white hat and overcoat he
has worn ever since, and was married
forthwith.
A CoNUNDRUM ANswERED.-One of
our citizens is blessed, or otherwise, with
a very stubborn wife. In his case he
finds that when woman will she will,
you may depend ont, and when she
won she won't, and that's an end ont.
This popularity of disposition in his
wife is no secret among his associates,
and one of them meeting him the other
asked:
w, do you know why you are
like donkey ?"
Like donkey!' echoed W,
opening his eyes wide. "No l don't"
DO you give it up?"
i do"
Because your better-half is stubborn
ness ITSELF"
That's not bad. Ha ha I'll give
that to my wife when / go home"
"Mrs. W." he asked, as he sat
down to supper, do you know why
am like donkey p
He waited a moment expecting his
wife to give it up, but she didn't; she
looked at him somewhat commiserating-
ly as she answered:
" l suppose it's because you was born
So"
W has abjured the habit of put
ting conundrums to his wife.-La,orence

The Signl Seryice on the Ocean.

Mr. I. f. Townsend, who has charge
of the signal Office at Cape May, has
submitted to the Treasury Department
at Washington proposition to extend
the benefits of the signal servlse system
to our ocean commerce by using the
MYERS code of signals for conveying
information to vessels approaching the
Atlantic coast. The plan of Mr.. Town.
send embraces, for the present, only
IN area extending ten miles south of
Cane Henlopen, to New York City; out
should the experiment succeed there It
will doubtless be so enlarged as to in
clude the most important portions Of
our marine frontier, The R0duS 0pCr-
anal suggested is simply TO repeat the
daily weather bulletins from the var
ious lighthouses and hfe-boat stations
by means of the signals aforesaid, thus
giving the commanders the necessary
knowledge upon which to base their
movements. II the weather IS reported
as likely TO be favorable, the vessels
NAV stand in for a harbor; if storm
IS close at hand they can push for the
open sea and thus avoid the dangers Of
lee shore. Coastlng craft, particular
ly, can, by this arrangement, be thor
oughly posted in regard to the position
OF the barometer on land by watching
the signals displayed from the stations
as they sail along, and thereby escape
many perils which are now unavoid
able. We trust the government will
give the experiment q fair trial, for the
results promised justify a much more
liberal expenditure than is likely to oe
needed.

Murder of Whole Family in arizona.

A correspondent Of the Alta Califor-
MIA reports that Mr. ] W. Baker, keep
er of what j. known as the " Blue
Water Station, y in Pima County, Arr
iona, about sixty-five miles west Of
Tucson. together with his wife and one
or two children, we're brutallv murder
ed on the 18th OF December In Il
corral adjoining the house were discov-
cred the dead bodies of Mr.. Baker, his
wife, and q child boy, about seven or
eight years OF age, stretched out upon
the ground completely riddlel with
rifle balls and buckshot The body of
child, about FIVE months old, was also
lying near by, which had died from ex-
posure. Mrs. Baker had evidently
desperately struggled with her murder
ers. The dress covering her right arm
was burnt, extending from the hand up
to near the elbow, while her arm and
breast were full of buckshot.
1t is certain that the deed was done
by three Mexicans, whom Mr.. Baker
had employed only one week before to
cut hay for him from ranch near the
house and maui it up to the corral, as
he had always to keep on hand supply
OF hay and grain for the animals at the
station. These men were missing
Their object must have been solely
plumber but it does not appear that
they got very much after all. They de-
camped with some three or four head
Of Bakers horses, and carried off
small amount of money from trunk,
and other portable Misunderstanding
thoroughly ransacked the house before
they left. They did not disturb any Of
the cattle on the place It is pretty
certain that they passed through Tue
son on their road to Sonora, which
seems to be favorite hiding place for
most all Mexican bandits who commit
crime in Arizona.

Startling Exposure of Fraud Practised
by Railway Company.

TIE House Judiciary Committee, IL
their examination OF the charge that
the transfer OF the franchise of the
Hanni pal and st. Joseph Railroad to
toe Atkinson and Pixies Peak Railroad
Company was effected by the means OF
fraud, have developed the fact that the
st. Joseph and Denver City Railroad
Company, which appeared as prosecu-
tors in the inquiry, have perpetrated a
gross fraud on the public by having is
sued large amount of bogus land
grant bonds. The exposure is this :;
The st. Joseph and Denver City Rail
road have issued land grant bonds
to the extent of seven millions of dollars,
which are covered, as they allege,
by grant of lands in Kan
sas amounting to one million
five hundred thousand acres. A let
ter of the Commissioner of the General
Land Ohice was read stating that this
company were entitled to less than 400
acres of land, under the existing laws,
and that the lands which they claimed
in their circulars and advertisements
for the sale of bonds belonging to
them, were granted to other companies
previous to the passage OF the act
creating their company. 1t was, there
fore, charged that this company had
been for some time practicing a gross
deception upon the public, in order to
dispose of their bonds. A member Of
the committee says: 1.-The matter is
regarded as very serious, and it is very
probable that all the facts in the case
will be presented to the House for such
action as they deem proper.

shtrtIcSs Systems.

The losses which most reduce tile
farmers profits are those which
arise from missed opportunities, bad
" laid plans, want Of preparation
for possible contingencies, and other
failures resulting from poor business
habits. The husEandman above all
others needs to take thought for the
morrow. Harvesting, supply of
tools, seed and other necessary
things. should lie considered before
hand. Perhaps the most serious pc
cuniary wounds a farmer thus in
fiicts on himself arise from want Of
preparations for changes of weather
during the growth Of his crop, their
harvesting, or for winter care Of his
stock. Scientific farming in It's broad
sense is neither more or less than
farming on the best possible plan
The first application OF method is in

All this requires not only a pract!-

Breeding Fast waiting Horses.

It is often said. in defence of the
heavy premiums given to trotting
horses at fairs. that speed IS a lc-
climate part of agricultural improve
ment. Granting that this IS 50 we
ought to encourage fast walking
as well as fast trotting; for, of the
two, a horse which will get over the
ground rapidly on q walk Is q much
more valuable animal on 3 farm
than the one which will 90 its mile
in 2 40. There is no greater proof
of the humbug Of the excuse given
for the great encouragement fast
horses receive at fairs than the nj
ter ignoring Of premiums for good
walking horses. AS one Of the Holt
day adjuncts to a fair We have never
had objections to speed trials that
some have; bat beyond this We
like to see the true interests Of ag-
riculture served as well as to have a
few days Of frolic, and the encour-
agement Of fast-waiking horsetIcsh
would do this
In connection with this oversight
on the part Of agricultural commit
tees, the following remarks Of q
contemporary on the breedingofgood
walkers will not be Inappropriate
The best gait a horse has is the
fast walk. a slow walking horse is
an abomination. Who has patience
with such q horse? II YOU ride him
or drive him he exhausts your pr
tience If he is used TO plough. to
harrow, or 60 on the road. he moves
along at snairs pace. lie does
only about halfthe work Of tie rapid
walker, If time is money. you make
money, because You save time, by
having a horse that walks fist
Breeders should pay attention to
this matter. In selecting 2 stallion
to breed from, br all means select
one that can walk fast. 4 slow
walking stallion viii generally be
likely to get slow walking colts;
while the stallion that has long
rapid, spirited stride, Will be likely
to beget colts with similar action.
Then there Is . great deal in breed :
ing to a horse with spirit and am
hition. These cold-bIoodcd horses will .
beget coId-bIooded colts. The near
er you can approach the thorough .
bred, even for obtaining q fast walk .
ct. the better. There is game there, I
and spirit, and endurance. and stam- +
ina, ana style. There are the neat, .
bony heads and prominent eyes, the
small ears, the capacious nostril7, .
the large lungs and chests, the wei, +
developed muscles, the bones IS
dense as ivory. Even for walkers,
then, get the nearest to thorough .
bred as possible. and the same for .
trotters, sna Of course the same for
runners. You have then horses fit
for any company, and for any pur-
pose-to haui the plough, Or buggy,
or carriage, or to carry YOU upon
their backs, Breed large. fine mares
to thoroughbred horses, and you
will get colts that you viii not he
ashamed to have your friends see.
