This is the record evidence We have which
demonstrates beyond any reasonable cxvil, not
only that the letter and text Of the treaty fairly
includes the making Of these claims | DO not
say the paying them, thGt il one of the
matters which We sgreel 10 srbitrAie Ii may
be that they will be decided sgainst us, that is
another question; bat the right 10 make these
claims and have the fair and unbiased judg-
ment Of the Tribunal Of Arbitration upon
them is found in the very letter Of the treaty
1t is found in the fact that for years the Eng
lish Government and nation had had notice
Of the fact that these damages were sccru-
ing, had had notice of the fact that
they were part Of the claim and part
Of the ground for reimbursement, which
the people of the United States thought
was just and proper ground for reimburse
ment. Now. Mr.. President, what does this

revoking the treaty or coutrivsnce to exert an

so ready and willing to break them, and be
ready at the proper time to vindicste the honor

How TO Strip n Hide.

Almost every farmer has occasion, at
least once year, to take the hide off either
beef or mutton, and some farmers take
hides off animals that are neither beef nor
mutton, now and then. In any case there
is right way to do this which is worth
knowing. A hide properly stripped off is
nearly square, but otherwise is far FROM
the shape. To proceed properly, lay the
carcass on the back, run sharp knife from
the chin down along the belly in straight
line to the root of the tail. The knife
should have sharp point and be inserted
edge upwards beneath thel skin, when it
should be run steadily along. Then COM
nence at the split of the hoof on the fore
foot and run the knife down over the knee
in straight line to the brisket where it
meets the main cut. When the other fore
leg has been completed, commence at the
heel of the hind leg, 60 down over the cap
of the hook joint, ana down the back of
the buttock to the first split. When the
hide is loose and spread out it will be seen
that there are no such irregularities in its
contour as if the cuts had been made down
the inside of the leg as is often done.

Chicken Cholera.

A curious and important discovery was
made by Jersey farmer few months ago.
He had been in the habit, of purchasing
the refuse grains at corn-popping estab-
lishment in this city, which he fed to his
chickens and hogs AT the time the first
purchase was made his hogs and chickens
were both suffering from what is known as
cholera In brief season the disease dis
appeared. His animals and fowls were
restored to health, and the cause of their
restoration could be attributed to no other
cause than the parched corn.
His neighbors, whose stock was similarly
effected, hearing Of the cure, tried the same
remedy and with the same results. Now
whether there is any special virtue in pop
corn, or whether any parched corn would
produce like good effects, deponent saith
not. He only makes known the fact for
the benefit of his fellow farmers, whose
roosters and porkers may be effected with
cholera. Philadelphia Eoening Star.

Cheap Stump Machine.

A writer says that he has made and used
~ stump machine constructed as follows ::
Take three pieces Of common joists; put
them together in form like the common har
row, letting the tapering or forward ends
lap by each other some six inches, making
place for chain to rest in. Cut off the
roots at any distance you please from the
stump place the machine on one side of
the stump, tapering end up; hitch the
chain to the opposite side, and press it over
the machine then hitch a good yoke of
oxen thereto, and you will see the stump
rise. He has cleared about three acres in
this way.
