Mark Twain. TribaIe 10 Woman

Mark TwaiD's Tribsie 10 Woman,
AT an annual banquet of the Wash
ington correspondence club, the follow
ing toast was read:
"Woman the pride of the profes
sions, and the jewel Of ours"
To which Mark Twain responded a.
follows:
Human intelligence can not estimate
what we owe TO woman, sir. She sews
ON buttons, she ropes us in at church
fairs, she confidcs in us, tells us whatever
she can find out about the little private
affairs of our neighbors, she can give US
la piece of her mind sometimes, and
sometime all of it. In all the relations
of life. cir, il is a just and grateful trib-
ute to say of her, that she is "brick. "
Wherever you place woman, sir, in
whatever position or estate, she is an or
nament to the place she occupies, and a
treasure to the world. Look at Desde-
mona! Look at Lueretia Borgia Look
at Mother Eve! / repeat, sir, look at
the illustrious names of historyl Look
at Elizabeth Cady Stantonl Look at
George Francis Train And, sir, say
il with a bowed head and deepest vener-
alton, look at the mother of Washing
toni She raised boy that could not
lie. But he never had a chance. 1t
might have been different if he had be-
longed to a newspaper correspondents
club.
Mark looked around placidly upon
his excited audience, and resumed.
Irepeat, sir, that in whatever position
you place woman, she is an ornament
to society and treasure to the world.
As sweetheart she has few equals and
no superior. As a wealthy grandmother,
with an incurable temper, she is gorgeous.
As wet nurse she has no equal among
men. What, sir, would the people of
the earth be without womanl They
would be scarce. sir, awful scarce Then
let us give her our support, our encour-
agement, our sympathy, ourselves, if
we get chance.
But jesting aside, Mr.. President, wo-
man is lovsble, gracious, kind of heart,
beautiful, worthy of all respect, of all
esteem. of all difference No ono here
will refuse TO drink her health right cor
daily, for each and every one Of us has
known, loved, and honored

The committee offered the following re-
port
TIMOTHY

and grows rapidly. Should not be per-

CLOVER,
we think, should get well up. say LIST Of
May, then it will be hard to injure or
stop its growth by hard grazing. If it
is grazed off while very young, it checks
its growth and Injuries the crop. Clover
should never be allowed to bloom before
turning stock on and eating down, so as
to keep it all the season growing and ten
der. After blooming its tendency is to
form seed and become hard.
BLUE GRASS
should net be pastured before the first Of
May or at least until it gets good start.
Grazing blue grass, while very young,
causes it to seed very low, and make but
few blades. Bule grass will be good
grazing all the year If allowed to form n
sod so rs To shade the ground, prevent
ing, to some extent, the effects Of severe
drouths so usual in our latitude.
We are of the opinion, that the best
of all grasses, for early grazing, is the
Orchard grass. II generally being up

Hish's ~ other of the many cases in modern
times where physical Illness, usually a disor-
a. red stomach, has had the effect TO unhinge

,rj0yneEt OF everything that can make life
fright ard desirable, 10 conceive themselves so
i1sded down hy Undesirable and unsupportl-
lie horrors, that only death can relieve them.

Alter ten years of wearing toll a. a writer upon

gave way; and while surrounded By admiring
friends and in the midst of a loving family, he
found himself 30 oppressed by some vague,
undehDsble horror, that he procured a pistol
and endet his own life. He wrote an affecting
letter of farewell to his wife, expressing his
dearest love, and telling in wild and broken
sentences Of the fearful phantasm that held
possession Of his brain, and led him irresistibly
to death. The case of the suicide of Preston
King, who deliberately fastened heavy weights
TO his ankles and threw himself from a ferry
boat at New York, is also another instance of
the work of that mysterious mental phantasm
that selves strong men and hurries them to the
suicides grave.

The Cuban hatchery.

The full particulars of the capture OF the
Nirginius ami the hatchery Of her passengers
by the Spanish are given in our dispatches. II
appears that the yirginus was really in British
waters AZ the time Of her capture; that the ex-
ecutions were hurried to prevent foreign inter
yention, especially that of the United States
and thatthe most indecent and brutal reioicIngs
we're INDUCED in BY the Spanish Cubans Of Ha-
vsrs over the news of the butchery. They
believe that in the capture of the VirginIus
they have extinguished the last hopes Of the
Cuban patriots. But when the information
reaches the m OF the effect created in this conn

their thick skulls that they have been sowing

IL has been said that our government must
Keep its mouth shut in regard to the capture of
the Nirginius lest we should be called to account
for completely IN her acts. Oh, well, if it comes
to that, we can make an Offset by showing that
the Tornado. the Spanish cruiser that captured
the Nirginius, land which is the ex-confederate
vessel Chickamaugs,) was purchased in New
York lately for the Spanish government, and
was converted into a swift and effective war
cruiser In sbP-ysrd in that city. If the Viz
giDius, also fitted out at New York, has made
two successful trips to Cuba in behalf of the
patriots, the Tornado, in behalf of the Spanish
CaHsns. has illegally seized fifty or more
American citizens and put them into the hand,
