to be Americans.

and five in the landwehr.
The London Graphic has been sued
for making n noise by lodging house
keeper who occupies house adjoining
the press-room.
THE valentine mania in England has
of late years assumed intense virulence.
Nearly 100000 packets containing
valentine mattcrpassed through the post
Office on the 18th and Nth of February,
and the ratio of increase is double that
of the population.
Owing to the general Generalization
produced by the Oxford and Cambridge
boat race, the heads of the two Univer-
sites have, it is said, under serious con-
sideration the propriety of either discon-
tinuing the race altogether in future or
transferring it to the Healy course.
A LETTER. CARRIER, mere boy, 16
years of age, was tried mt Liverpool,
England, on charge of stealing a num-
Der of letters. 1t was proved that the
prisoner had destroyed the letters to
save himself the trouble of delivering
them, M his route extended over many
miles. He was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment.
AS sample of the present high
prices of old English black-lett books,
it is stated that copy of Covers
"Lover's Confession printed by Cax-
ton, in 1893, was recently sold in Lon
don to an American collector, whose
brain was slightly touched, we suspect,
with bibliomania, for the sum of So, 900
That is more than the poet received for
all the copies sold in his lifetime.
The memorandum presented by the

In referring to lecture to be deliv-
cred by Gen. Pendleton, the Mobile
Ecgistcr says: perhaps the most GU
rious point of all will be Gen. Pendle-
tons clear and concise narrative of the
great fight wherein the liberties of the
South were lost-and lost by James
Longstreet The story of Longstreet's
delay at Gettysburg has often been told;
the effects OF that delay have often been
commented on, but only by Gen. Pen
dleton have the motives which induced
that delay been plainly and directly
charged to the recusant."

BARON LIEBIG, whose death was re-
Gently announced by cable, was one of
the greatest chemists of his time. He
was especially famed for his discoveries
in organic chemistry, and its application
to agriculture and physiology. He was
born in 1903, and entered the University
of Brun at sixteen years of age. At
nineteen he went to Paris and became
the intimate friend of Humboldt and
Lussac, through whose influence he OBJ
tanned the appointment of Professor
of Chemistry in the University of
Giessen, at the early age of twenty .one.

How to Water Horses.

One writer says, never water imme-
diately after feeding. l say that if a
horse is thirsty always give him drink,
and he will thank you for it. 1 have
often seen horses put in stable at noon
for an hour or two, and not eat pound
of hay or grain but looking wistfully for
water, and then their careful owner, who
would not let them have water when
warm, will come to give them enough to
kill, and ride or drive the remainder of
the day on two buckets of water and no
feed. Ten chances to one his horse
gives out with him or gets sick before
night. Now, I say, give the horse water
if he is ever so warm; give him swal-
low, rinse out his mouth and nostrils ;
give him bit of hay in short time Il
little more water, but not too much.
If he is watered several times a little
at time until he is satisfied, he will
not drink more than half what he would
if you let him gulp it down all at once

A wELL-KNowN clergyman, who lives
near Worcester, Mass, and has been for
many years champion of the prohibit
DRY law, found on the sidewalk in front
of his residence, recently, an old coffin,
evidently plundered from some burial
ground, and containing shroud.
Within was a bit of paper, on which was
written the following: "The citizens of
Worcester, to show their thanks for the
interest you have taken in our affairs to
blot out our vote on the beer question,
do beg of you to except this second
hand overcoat-a present of the best of
our ability" The gentleman declines
to "except" the present at present,
and at last accounts it was lying on the
sidewalk.

DURING the performance at an English
theater recently, decided and contin-
ued hiss was heard above the applause
of the spectators. The more the audi
ence laughed and applauded the louder
the kissing became. The culprit was at
length discovered to be a plethoric old
gentleman upon whom an operation for
tracheotomy had once been performed,
necessitating the placing in the throat
of a silver tube. The effect of the pipe,
we are told, was that when the gentle
man laughed a sound like kissing was
produced, and the more the stout gen
tleman laughed the more he Missed.

The third section of the Postal APP
preparation bill passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress repeats all laws per-
hitting the transmission by mail of any
free matter whatever, from and after
June 80. Under this law, quarterly
proponents of postage will be required
on IL newspapers, exchanges and coln-
try newspapers, the same as is now, and
will be then required in the case of all
mail subscriptions, namely: 5 cents per
quarter for weekly newspapers, 30 cents
per quarter for papers published six
times per week, and 30 cents per quarter
for daily papers, prepayment per quarter
or per year, to be made either at the
Office where mailed OF at the Office where
delivered. In other words, the same rule
will be applied to all newspapers, by
whomsoever sent or received.

Farmers Wages Abroad.

The wages of farm laborers seem to be
increasing in every part of Europe as
rapidly as in this country. At the March
hiring markets, held in Scotland, en-
gagements were generally effected at five
pounds advance on the wages paid last
year. In some parts of Scotland the

The Bolton (Texas) Journal has the
following: Secretary Delano, we I'M
derstand, will call ON Gov. Davis to par
don Santanta and Big Tree, the red muir
derers, now confined in the State Prison
What ground this extraordinary claim
upon Executive clemency is to rest upon
we are not informed; but whether the
friends of their liberation shall put in
the plea of the red mans constitutional
right to murder and steal without re-
striction or penalty, or the threadbare
plea of insanity or some other trans
parent subterfuge, the attempt to return
these fiends to their murderous work is
an outrage upon our frontiersmen and a
disgrace to all engaged in it. We trust
that extreme old age will find these Gull
prits still serving the State in their
present capacity"

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, i'll a

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in a
recent lecture, said: 81 don't think it
is inconsistent with the teachings of
Christianity for man to wear just as
good clothes as he can afford, to live in
just as good house as he can afford to
build, and to make the house just as
beautiful for his children as he can af-
ford to make it." This is the true Sc
cret of life in its relations to wealth,
and it is to be hoped that other speak
ers and writer's of Mr.. Beecher's infu-
ence will assist in educating the people
up to that standard, where they will not
feel that every picture or other work of
art placed in house is bit of extrava-
gance to awaken qualms of conscience
that the money was not used in some
more utilitarian sense.

The Atlantic horror is likely to result

The Atlantic horror is likely to result
in thorough exposure of all the faults
and cruelties practiced on shipboard,
and, we hope, in their correction. The
wrecking of the vessel brings up
once more the inhuman treatment of
emgrants to which attention has repeat
edly been called, and which is simply
shameful and abominable. Storage
passengers were subjected to privations
and indignities on this steamship-and
they are, no doubt, repeated ON every
ocean stcamer-which were as brutal as
they were unnecessary and contempti-
bic. If, in the code that governs the
conduct of officers and crews on vessels
of this character, there is no provision
against such barbarous practices, for
the honor of the two protesting Chris
tan nations between whose shores they
ply, let the laws be amended and little
humanity introduced.

The st. Louis Times says: At the
fair, last year, in st. Louis, the prize of
81 900 for the best bale of cotton was
awarded to Mr.. John G. Yeiser, of Jack
son, Miss. The bale was afterwards
sent to Memphis, and won the first prize
there, and subsequently it appeared at
Jackson, where it also won the first
premium. Having thus been adjudged
to be the best bale of cotton by three
sets of judges, this lucrative bale was
sold by it's owner for tifty-tive cents a
pound, two and half times the usual
price, and thus realizing him, in addi-
ton to the premiums, probably $1,000.
Its new owner, desiring to press it's ca
reer of triumph further, intends to send
this famous cotton bale to the Vienna
exposition, to show the world assembled
there what Mississippi can do in the way
of cotton raising.

Low Headed Trees.

The Horticulturist says: The tide of
favorable opinion for heading fruit trees
low for orchard culture is now ex-
periencing revulsion. Orchardists
who cultivate their orchards, and are in
the habit of ploughing or stirring the
soil periodically, say low headed will not
answer 1t is impossible to approach
near enough with the horse and nipple
ment, and hence the high standard
method of training will answer for gar
den culture, and for orchards where
there is a good deal of hand labor. APP
pie and peach trees must be trained
high, but pears, we believe, are best
grown on the pyramidal system, and
this must be low to attain success.

The hotel controversy in Chicago be-
tween the respective Briggs houses is
being extensively commented upon by
the newspapers throughout the country,
which see, in the decision of the ques-
ton, possible solution of some of their
own local disputes. The Philadelphia
Inquirer says: "Quite certain it is that
the copyright of hotel names and tavern
signs would puzzle even the combined
erudite legal acumen of the Supreme
Bench of the United States There are
now in the rural regions of this fair, free
land of ours, several thousands of coun-
try inns swinging the signs of King of
Prussia, the plough, Turks head, thir-
teen, sixteen, or nineteen Presidents,
George Washingt II, and half hun
dred other popular designations. True,
these devices are mostly of past genera
tions, but in our own day we have in
this city some dozens of Continentals,
while New York is afflicted with no end
of Aston houses. Judges East and
West will be sorely puzzled to decide as
to who has the primal right to tavern
sign or hotel designation. These
names and devices, like all other valrla-
BILE ideas, will have to be patented"

Proper Light for Stable Windows.

The regulation of the admission of
light into stables by the proper location
OF the windows has been found to be of
the highest Importance. A side win
dow, according to numerous observa-
tions, is apt to produce weakness in the
eye on that side; a window immediately
in front of the manger throws glare of
light into both eyes, in the highest de-
gree injurious ; while one higher up, in
front, tends to render a horse over
sighted, and consequently liable to shy
at low objects.
