tunity to Spain to show that the Virginius
| improperly carried the American flag and
American papers.
A Washington telegram of the Sd says Adj
miral Polo and Secretary Fish, since they sign
! ed the protocol, had been in perfect accord
concerning the arrangements for The restora-
ton of the Virginius and the survivors.
Everything so far had been done with almness
on the part of the representatives of the two
Governments.
A severe wind-storm was experienced
throughout the West on the night of the Sd.
In almost every direction trees were blown
| over the railroad tracks, trains ditched, and
telegraph poles demolished, and there was a
widespread and ruinous devastation OF
houses, barns, fences and forests.

The Department of Agriculture report for
November and December shows that the aver
age of tobacco in comparison with last year is
ninety-four. A falling of of 10000 600 bush
els in the potato crop is indicated. The hay
crop is SOC, 900 tons less than last year.
According to a Washington Associated Press
dispatch of the 5th Secretary Fish was not so
hOpefu as he nad been some DAYS before Oh
the ability of Spain to carry out its orders.
The suggestion of a modification Of the
protocol, that the Virginius might be
delivered to a third party to await adjudi-
cation did not meet with any Off
cial favor. a Cuban gentleman states that
he had conversed with Secretary Fish and sew
eral Senators, and they assured him that anys
further diplomacy with Spain on the Vir-
ginius question would be declined. They be-
lieved the Spanish authorities in cuba would
refuse to accede to the propositions of the
protocol, and war would prob ably be the con
sequence.

THE DROUGHT.


The wells are dry: the roads are gray and dusty;
THE time-marked oak holds up its limbs in prayer;
The way-side flowers look parched, and dead, and
rusty;
There Is a heated langour in the air.
In ouivering haze the valley, field and river
Are seen their last breath yielding to the sun.
I trusting see the hand of God, the Chyer,
And know tits well "Thy will on earth be DONE"
The binding glare from wall, and roof, and coping
Through eye-Iids close burns to my very brain ;
The shadow from the oak tree, eastward sloping,
Lies, black white, ike some great lasting staln
The honey-bees around their hives are browsing,
Awaiting, idly, rain to ope the flowers,
And lazy cattle, ON the hillside browsing,
Seek rest ard shade beneath the hemlock boWers.

The planted Paradise was not so hrIn
As was and is Thy floating Ark, whose stay
And anchor Thou art only, to confirm -r
And strengthen it in every age,
When waves do rise, and tennpests rage.
At first, we lived in pleasure;
Thine own delights Thou didst to us impart,
When we grew wanton, Thou didst use displeasure
To make us Thine Yet that we might not part,
As we at first did board with Thee,
Now Thou wOuld'st taste our misery.
There is but joy and gr1efi
If either will convert us, we are Thine;
Some angels used the first of our relef
Take M the second, then Thy double line
And sev'ral bats in either kind
Furnish Thy table to thy mind ..
Afiiction, then, is ours;
We are the trees, whom shaking fastens more,
Witiie bIustri winds destroy the Wonton bowers,
And rufHe all their curious knots and store.

That thy bright beams may tame my bow.

the labor of raising the crop. harvesting
the same. and then feeding out. But one
must do this unless hc has pasture lands :
and at this writing all who have been de-
pending upon the range, or upon the wild
grasses, are feeding their stock. or il j. be-
coming poor. But such is not the ease
with those who have timothy. clover. or
chard grass, red top. or blue grass pastures.
unless they fed their pastures too close in
the summer. They have not begun 10 feed
from the barn yet. Their stock is AL this
time thriving faster than in summer. for
they are not troubled by the flies. And
when the farmer has kept his stock of OF
his pasture lands till after frost. he can
have pastuIage all winter. l. il not better
TO lei the stock do their own gathering and
harvesting and feeding. than to have TO do
il Tor them! The farmer ought 10 save the
labor. the expense of harvesting. handling.

pasturagc. he can do this. In some parts
of Missouri and Kentucky il Is considered
rs important to have this winter crop of
grass a. IL is 10 raise hay or grain. In
stormy weather the stock should be- fed
and little hay or grain can be- fed profita-
bly,. probably, all the time. But the great
bulk of the food for stock ia this climate
should be winter pasturage. We speak of
this now so that farmers can begin 10 pre-
pare for making pastures. Grass seed can
be- sown the coming spring. The larger
