CAUSE OF SENATOR SUMMERS d.
VORCE.

Mrs Hooper, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, was q young widow, and
young widows always have an aver
sion to becoming old widows; while
they are as much in demand as second
hand tlatirons moreover, Charles
Sumner had attained fame he was
the best constitutional lawyer IN
America, and had the best knowledge
of foreign affairs /; he was the pet Of
the old Bay State, and was one Of
those happy beings who live to enjoy
the sweet rewards of martyrdOm. So
the rich, gay, accomplished, festive.
vivacious, popular young widow, went
to keep house and darn stockings for
the unsoeial, crusty, conceited old or
ator. She didn't do it worth a cent.
We are aware that some matters are
private, and domestic secrets ought
to be respected by gossiping press
But there are none in this case. Nei-
ther party has affected the slightest
concealment ofthe situation. So 1t Is
proper to say that neither OF them ever
saw a happy, or even a moderately
comfortable day, after the ill-assOrted
marriage. IL Was AIiltOR and Mary
Powell over again. Like the fair
daughter of the Cavaliers, Mrs. Hoop
er-Sumner was social and hospitable
Summer was aristocratic, arrogant and
domineering. His way was the only
way;exceptOne, ,indeed-the way where
divorces lie. He haughtily declined e.
meet her guests refused to be intro
duced to her acquaintances !; his idea
of wife was a fair, fond, gelatinous
female, with no will of her own, who
should loudly say her orisons to him,
and treat him like a sacred craven i'm
age. She failed to see it in that light,
and went home to live with Mr.. Sam
uel Hooper, in Boston, where her
lords fair fame will henceforth be very
likely to decline.

Bringing up an Old Farm.

I.B. johnson, Columbia Co.. N. Y,
writes: "Having become the possess
or of an old farm which has run to
waste for number of years, 1 am
anxious to bring it up to productiTe e
state. The soil is of a slaty nature,
mostly, and the rocks come through
in some places. 1t fronts the south,
mainly. A large meadow has north
ern exposure; soil rather wet and
mucky. Any advice as to the best
way in which 20 bring it to a proper
state of cultivation will be thankfully
received.'
The quickest way we know Of to
''bring up" any soil of the character
described, is to first see that it is prop
erly drained, where it needs draining,

How to Make a Mustard Plas-
ter.

How many people are they who
really know how to make mustard
plaster? Not one in hundred, at
the most, perhaps, and yet mustard
plasters are used in every family, and
physicians prescribe their application,
never telling anybody how to make
them for the simple reason that the
doctors themselves do not know, as a
rule. The ordinary way is to mix
the mustard with water, tempering
it with little flour, but such a plas-
ter as that makes is simply abomin-
able. Before it has half done its
work it begins to blister the patient,
and leaves him finally with painful,
tiayed spot, after having produced far
less effect in beneficial way than was
intended. Now mustard plaster
should never make blister at all II
a blister is wanted, there are other
plasters tar better than mustard for
thepurpose. When you make a mus
tard plaster, then, use no water what.
ever, but mix the mustard with the
white of an egg, and the result will
be a plaster which will 'draw" per-
fectly, but viii not produce a blister
even upon the skin of an infant, no
matter how long it is allowed to re-
main upon the part. For this we
have the word OF an old and eminent
physician, as well as our own expert.

THE BORERS OF THE SEA.

Many stories are current as 20 how

their ideas from Nature, and there
has been much ingenious discussion
as to whether hints thus appropriated
are properly patentable. Boring d.

have been thus used by art, and it is

Manuring Lands.

The farmer who buys commercial
fertilizers and stimulates his land with
them is every year growing poorer /;
the farmer who sows clover, pastures
il, and plows it under, is every year
growing richer. The latter may not
make such large crops this year or
next, but at the end of twenty or even
ten years, his farm will be worth more
than now, while that of the former
will be exhausted. No guide for
manuring Is SO accurate as that which
nature herself gives. She made the
rich soil by adding vegetable matter
to it, and we may not only keep up
its fertility but add to it by the same
course. 1t is a singular fact that in
the two extreme sections, New Eng
land and the South, are the greatest
amounts of fertilizers used, and in no
other two sections of this country is
there so much dissatisfaction with farm
lite, and so prevalent a desire for
change to a new region. In one may
now be found thousands of acres of
abandoned lands, exhausted by con-
tlnuous cropping with one plant or
grain, or by the use of intensely stim-
ulating fertilizers; in the other hun
dreds of farms for sale, whereon the
owners say they cannot make living;
and in neither case has any Of these
lands or farms been taken hold of by
newcomers but with success and
profit. New England can show many
farm abandoned as proftless on
which thrifty Germans are now max.
ing money, and the South is being
dotted over with verdant fields by
immigrants whom a mild and even
climate has induced to seek It's bord-
ers; while the former owners in each
case are now pursuing their course of
exhaustion in some fields more fresh,
some pastures new, but of which,
twenty years hence, the old story of
sexhausted' will be told. Robbed
should be the word.

How Much VIII Keep a Horse.

Ahorse weighing from ten to twelve
hundred pounds viii eat about six tons
of hay, or its equivalent, in q year.
And we suppose the real point to get
at is, whether one can keep his horass
cheaper on some other product than
hay. This is an exceedingly difficult
question to answer-it depends SO
much on circumstances. We shall not
attempt to answer it fully at this time,
but will merely say that, in our opin-
ion, three and half tons of corn stalks
and two and half tons of corn would
keep a horse a year il fully as good
condition as six tons Of good hay.
We may estimate, also, that it viii
take three and a half tons of oat straw
and two and halt tons of oats, to
keep horse e year. A bushel of oats
weighs thirty-two pounds, SO that it
will take over 155 bushels and three
and half tons of straw to keep a
horse year. 1t would take about
two acres of good land to produce this
amount.

1t seems that after, the visit o.
Senator York and his party the Ben
ders took the alarm. The next morn
ing the old man plowed the field, and
shortly afterwards they hitched up
and drove to Thsyer, a station on
the Gulf road, twenty or twenty-five
away, where they were not known,
arriving there in time to take night
train. 1t seems that they stopped 9
little way out of town, unhitched the
horses and tied them to the wagon.
Then leaving the dog with the team,
they went to the depot and left.
The team renamed out OF town
two or three days, no one knowing
to whom it belonged. Finally the
town marshal went out and brought
it in.
A day or two after that some eoun-
try people were in the town, sid one
OF them noticing the dog which had
been left with the team, exclaimed
"Why there's old Bender's dog!'
This led to some explanation, ard
the team was readily identified. This
led to visit to the Bender place,
and then it was discovered that the
whole family had departed. This was
just before or about the time the deteC
tive made his visit to the claim.
As soon as the bodies were unesrth-
ed, Beers entered upon his search
for the criminals. He found that
the Benders were cooperating with
band of thieves, and just beiozo h0
left Kansas had sworn out warrcnts
the arrest of twenty towparties, many
Of them protessedly farmers holding
claims in Southern Kansas.
Beers himself has assumed the
difficult task Of hunting down the
four members of the Bender family.
He succeeded in tracing them Hntil
they left the State, and then had en-
interview with the Governor of Kan
sas, who authorized him to go ahead
and hunt down the murderers re-
gardless of expense.
With this understanding he start
ed and arrived in st. Louis yester-
day, having followed clear trail to
this place.
The Benders left Kansas with
about ten thouand dollars, and Beers
thinks they have gone straight 10 the
seaboard with the intention of hiding
across the ocean.
He will follow as fast as the trail
can be picked up. Chief McDough
will render every assistance possible.

Hog Breeding.

The hog is subject to remarkable
changes of form and characters, &C
cording to the situations in which he
is placed. When these characters
assume a certain degree of perma-
nence, breed or variety is formed;
and there is none OF the domesticated
animals which more easily receives
the characters we desire to impress
upon it. This arises from lis rapid
powers of increase, and the constancy
with which the characters of the
parents are reproduced in the prog
eny. There is no kind OF live stock
that can be so easily improved by the
breeder, and SO quickly suited 10 the
purposes required. And the same
characters of external form indicate
in the hog disposition to arrive at
early maturity of muscle and tatness
as in the OK and sheep. The body is
large in proportion to the limbs, or,
in other words, the limbs are short in
proportion to the body; the extremi,
ties are free from coarseness, the chest
is broad, and the trunk round. Pos
sessing these characters, the hog never
fails to arrive at earlier maturity, and
with a smaller consumption OF food,
than when he possesses a different
Prairie Farmer.
