Two Brothers RecOnciled In COurt-A
Remarkable Scene.

A singular case occurred in Con-
necticut courtroom a few days ago,
which is thus described by the Bridge
port Standard: "Two brothers named
Adams, of Westport, have been on un-
friendly terms for several years, and a
short time ago they came to blows.
Each of them complained to justice,
and each of them was found guilty of a
breach of the peace. Both appealed.
Their cases came before the Superior
Court last week, and one of them was
found guilty, and in the ease Of the
other the jury could not egree. Friday
morning Judge Foster called both OF
them before him, and talked to them in
a most serious manner, and, after a
short review of the affair, told them that
it was entirely wrong and shameful for
them to conduct themselves in such q
manner toward each other. Even
strangers live in peace, and why should
not you? You have not even the ex-
cuse of youth and hot blood, but have
arrived at an age when the passions
should be under control He then APP
pealed to one of them in slightly sar-
castle manner: You have always used
your brother well p" yes"-' and he
has always abused you ?'-"yes." He
then turned to the other with the same
questions, and received similar an
swers. 'Then, said he, you are both
to blame. There is fault on both sides,
and don't know which is the worst.
He showed them the folly of their pres
ent dispute, and admonished them il
they had any grievance in the future
about property, to settle it among them
selves, or to call in their neighbors to
help them, but do not go to law. Law
is an expensive luxury Then he ap-
pealed to them both to be friends here
after, and, turning to one of them, he
put the question solemnly, as in mar
riage service, you, - Adams, do
promise on your part that you will be
friends hereafter with your brother.
The response came ringing out, 81
will" Then to the other the Judge
put the same question, You, :
Adams, do promise, ETC., to which
came an equally prompt CT will. Then
shake hands, said the Judge, and, as
they did so, there was not dry eye in
the courtroom. One of the brothers
sobbed out, "By the blessing of God ]
will try and live peaceably with my
brother" The other signified the same.
Then, said the Judge, addressing the
one who had been found guilty, 1 i'm
pose upon you the lghtest sentence OF
the Court, one dollar, and discharge
your bond. During the closing scenes
of this remarkable address of the Judge
the State Attorney and the members OF
the bar were all affected to tears"

Sketch of Jaw Cooke.

Jay Cooke was born at Portland,
Ohio, Aug. 10, 1921, of good Pilgrim
family, his lineal ancestor, Francis
Cooke, having come over in the May
flower in 1920, and erected the third
house in Plymouth. He was educated
at home by his father, Eleutheros
Cooke, the leading lawyer of Sandusky
county, and First Grand Master of Ohio
Free Masons. Poverty assailed the
family, and at thirteen the boy, resolved
to earn his own living, sought out and
obtained a clerkship with a Mr.. Hub
bard, in Sandusky. He soon attracted
the attention of his brother-in-law,
William G.. Moorehead, who employed
him as bookkeeper in Philadelphia.
He subsequently entered the service of
L. w. Clarke & Co., of that city, the
largest domestic exchange banking firm
in the country. Ee became partner
when 21 years old, and remained in the
house until 1858, when he retired on a
competency, having gradually attained
the leading position in it. When 10
years of age he wrote the first money
article ever published in Philadelphia
paper, and was engaged as financial edi-
tor of the Daily Chronicle. In 1861
the firm of Jay Cooke q Co. was formed
between himself and Mr.. Moorehead,
and now commenced his successfully
patriotic efforts to relieve the Govern
ment, harassed by the rebellion, of all
financial trouble. In the spring of 1861
Cooke, without compensation, procured
a large number of subscribers for the
Government loan. He then placed a
war loan of several millions for the
State of Pennsylvania at par. Mr..
Chase, noting his ability, appointed the
firm to one OF the one hundred special
agencies for a loan of $50, 100000. Jay
Cooke & Co. returned one-third of this.
This led Mr.. Chase to select Mr..
Cooke as special agent to place the
5000, 900. 900 loan of five-twenty bonds
authorized by Congress. 1t was mon
strous task, entailed an enormous out
lay, and brought little profit, though an
immense reputation, to the master mind
who engineered it. His efforts kept
pace with, and were equal to, the vicis-
STUDIES of the war, and counteracted the
dreadful depression of the currency.
When Mr.. Chase resigned in June, 1864,
and gold rose to 1S5 per cent. premium,
from SS, in fifteen days, Jay Cookies
shoulder was put to the wheel, and
early in 1865, 900, 900, 900 of seven-thir-
ty bonds were placed in Europe, and
were subsequently increased to nearly
$500, 900, 900. The Government had to
spend $3,OOO,OOO day, and with it
saved the Union. Jay Cooke provided
the money. His operations since the
war are part and parcel of the history
of the day, the most recent and gigantic
being the participation of the firm in
the famous syndicate, of which Drexel,
Morgan & Co., and Morton, Bliss &
Co., are the other partners, and through
whom the Alabama difficulty has just
been happily terminated. A man of
princely liberality, dispensed in widest
streams, the misfortune that has now, il
is to be hoped temporarily, befallen
him, must be deplored by thousands of
benefciaries, and is, indeed, matter OF
national regret.-Ihiladelohia Press.

"MIRAcLEs WILL NEVER CEASE. y
During a meeting of the Concord Bap-
tist Association, at Owenton, KY, last
week, certain preacher delivered a
sermon that deeply touched good old
Democrat in the audience-and an Owen
county Democrat, be it known, is of tie
purest breed. On being told that the
preacher had once been Yankee
General, he seemed tfunderstruck. AT
the close of the sermon he approached
the preacher, and taking him by the
hand, said "They tell me you were a
Yankee General in the Federal army %

New Variety of Wheat.

A correspondent writing from Wayne
county, Ind, to the Germantown Iele-
graph, sends sample of wheat, a new
variety, the name not given, which he
says he has been raising for two years,
and thinks it is the best he ever had on
his farm. He sowed it beside the Diehl
wheat, on same land, same preparation
of soil in every respect, and while the
Diehl was all down, even broken, and
very hard TO cut, the new kind all stood
up and could be cradled in any direc-
tion, and yielded from five to ten BUSH
els more an acre than the Diehl. Two
years trial gave about the same re-
suits.
The editor of the Telegraph said, in
reply to a request to give an opinion,
that the heads are larger and the grain
plumper than the Mediterranean variety,
which continues to be the principal va
riaty in the East. TWENTY-FIVE bushels
of this wheat can be raised per acre, he
says, it will prove an acquisition of
great value to the farming interest OF
the country.

Fresh Butter In Winter.

AS general thing, butter is scarce
during the winter season, and fresh but
ter bears high price. BY taking prop
er measures, which include having the
cows to come in from October to Janu-
ary; warm, comfortable stable, a
frost-proof dairy, clover hay cut i'll
blossom and well saved, supply OF car
rots, perfect cleanliness in the stable,
and a plentiful supply of water free
from ice and snow, with daily drinks of
bran or oatmeal slop slightly warmed,
and cooked food, the dairy may be made
as prolific and far more profitable than
in the summer. The butter will be yell
low, hard, and will keep fresh longer,
and, from its scarcity at that season,
would bring very high price.

ion. Broadway aronnd the Trnst Com.

tion. Broadway, around the Trust Com
pany, was thronged. In Broad street
the scene was most suggestive. The
massive steps of the SubTreasury,
from 10 and to 3 p. M, were full of GU
riosity seekers. The lofty granite be-
came a much-sought point of observa-
ton, and as fast as one stated spectator
tired and moved off his place was filed
by another no whit less curious. Thus
the old representative of Government
security became the most conspicuous
feature of the moving scene.

Poetry Made Practical.

The saddest case of poetry of which
we have ever heard is that of a young
lady in Missouri. A short time ago she
found it impossible either to eat or
sleep, and for ten days remained in that
unpleasant state. Strange to say, the
moment she was attacked she began to
speak in rhyme. Every sentence uttered
by those afflicted lips was rich with
sweetest melody and measure. Ordinary
affairs she turned into extraordinary
verse-for instance dearest ma, list
to your daughter Give her, o give
glass of waughter," and so on. These
charming rhymes were made with no
sort of effort at all, but just tumbled
out with startling rapidity and precision.
Some of them, we are told, were ex-
tremely beautiful. Alarmed by so dread
full an illness, all the nearest physicians
were summoned by her heart-broken
parents; each prescribed different
opiate, and by this means poetry was
conquered she slept-her life was
saved. Less serious cases of this fear
full disease have been known-none be-
fore so persistent and absorbing as this.

Bees Fertilizing Plants.

The President of the Academy of
Science at Munich, Bavaria, striving to
re-introduce bee culture on his patri-
monial estate, found the generally
prevalent prejudice that the bee hurts
the fruit by its visits to the flowers the
chief obstacle to success. To overcome
this, he labored assiduously to show
that bees, far from being injurious,
were directly beneficial in the fructi6ca-
tion of blossoms--causing the fruit to
set by conveying the fertilizing pollen
from tree to tree, and from flower to
flower. He proved, moreover, by Off
cial record, that century earlier, when
bees were kept by every tenant of the
estate, fruit was abundant; whereas
when only seven kept bees, and none of
those had more than three colonies,
fruit was scarcer than ever among the
tenantry.

when TO Pr,,ne Grape Vines.

We are often asked if the grape vine
cannot be pruned in the spring without
injury. We say no. The time to do
the work is in the fall, and if done then
it should be left until the next summer,
after the vine has put forth its leaves,
when the vine will not be bled at all If
cut. We do not advise excessive sum-
mer pruning, but if the work has been
wholly neglected in the autumn, some
thing may safely be done in the summer
following.

The Swede Turnip.

Mr.. John Dey, in a discussion on
Root Culture by Wisconsin Farmers
Club, said: "The Swede turnip is a
good root for sheep, hogs and young
cattle. Cows fed on them will keep in
good heart, but they are not as good for
milk as the carrot or beet. If we do
not wish to feed them we can sell them;
they usually bring 40 or so cents per
bushel, and if we say 600 bushels to the
acre at 40 cents we have S240 and if we
allow one-half for raising and marketing
we have $l20, which would buy 200
bushels of corn, and to raise 200
bushels of corn we want four acres of
ground and expend more to raise and
harvest than we would the turnips."

VerIniIiOn Parish.

Sheriff Shaw, of Vermilion, was in oul
town a few days ago. and reports every
thing quiet in that parish. The vigilance
committee have hanged or shot five thieves
including the one taken from the boat near
Jeannerette, and ordered twenty more to
leave the country.
This is, then, the upshot of this much
talked of affair, which has been exagger-
ated over and over again by nearly every
one who had anything to say or write about
1t. Five thieves less is a good riddance,
and we are inclined to believe that they de-
served what they got, and the committee
ought probably to have hanged few more,
instead OF sending them away to be hanged

rascals, who are to emigrate from Yer
million, will not come among us for refuge.
