THE Chicago Tribune Of the Sd inst.

scruple to sign the salary-grab law,
which doubled his salary, but Gov.
Davis, of Minnesota, although men,
Der of the same party, has a tenderer
conscience. In the Appropriation bill
which has passed the Minnesota Legis-
lature his salary is increased from
$1,000 to $4,000. The Governor,
yesterday requested that that part Of
the bill be reconsidered. He denoun-
ced the salary-grab in the last cam
paign, and did not wish now to belle
his own professions, especially as the
people were unable to bear any general
increase of salaries. The Senaterecon-

ECCLESIASTICAL.
Presbyterian Union Progressing.


New YORK, March 5.-The committees
representing the General Synod of the Re
formed Church in America and the general
session of the Presbyterian Church, South,
who met for the first time Saturday to de-
wise plan for uniting those bodies, have
concluded their labOrs. The subject of con-
sOlidating the churches was thoroughly dis
cussed by the members of the committee,
and the utmost harmony and good feeling
prevailed. Their final action was substan-
TALLY as follows: The committees unani-
mOusly agreed to report to their respective
bodies, which will meet in May and June
of this year, that plan of cooperation is
practicable SO far as the leading features Of
ecclesiastical work are concerned, especial
IL that relating to home and foreign mis-
siOns, and the publication interest. No
steps have thus far been taken toward effec-
ting an organic union of the denominations
represented, but the harmony which pre-
vailed renders it probable in the minds of
many that the cOnsummatiOn will be real
lied at no distant day.
DIR. Portions.
As soon as Rev. DIR. Portions arrived in
New York he presented his credentials and
applied for a license to preach. Bishop
Potter gave him license for this diocese
and Bishop LittlejOhn a similar one for
that of Long Island. He yesterday re-
ceived letters from the Bishops reyOkinE his
license, the charges being that he preached
in nOn-Episcopal pulpits and delivered Tee
lures on frivolous subjects. The expression
OF broad church views by Distortions and
the movement among liberal Episcopalians
in Brooklyn to secure the Doctor for pastor
are suggested rs additional reasons for the
revocation of his license to preach.

Will it Pay to Feed Grain to Sheep ?

I have made the care of sheep a mat
ter of some study for the past fifteen
years, and from experience and observa-
ton have become fully convinced that
there is no way that farmer can dis
pose of his grain that will pay as we'll
as to give them a liberal allowance of
it f; I speak with reference to stock
sheep, not having had much experience
in feeding for market. We will take a
flock of, say two hundred Merinos, and
in addition to the usual feeding give
them one bushel of corn or its equiva-
lent per day, say one hundred and fifty
bushels during the winter, which, at
sixty cents per 'bushel, about the aver
age price of corn on the farm, would
bring $50. Continue this say for pc
riod of ten years, and the average num-
Der of pounds of wool per year over a
similar flock which is fed no grain will
be fully two hundred and fifty pounds /;
this, sold at an average of fifty cents
per pound, would make $25. There
would be. say sixty lambs, worth fifty
cents per head more at five months old
than if no grain was fed, $50; increas-
ed value of dry eve and wethers, with
saving of pasture being ready for
market five or six months earlier, $50 ;
increased value of balance of flock $25 ;
increased value of manure saved, $15,
making a total gain of 1926 per year, or
81. so per bushel for corn. This is no
freak of fancy, but stern reality. My
estimates are much lower than they
would bear, but they are strong
enough to convince any thinking mind
that it will pay, and yet in the face of
all the facts that can be given, farmers
will persist in hauling their corn and
oats to market and stint their sheep

VINEGAR BITTERs. great merit
of Vinegar Bitters has made them the
leading medicine of the day, and re-
spectacle druggists everywhere write
" They are the best and most popular
preparation in the market" They
have stood the test of public opinion
and won confidence. They sell rapidly
because they cure. If you are sick you
want reliable medicine. Vinegar Bit
tiers commend themselves to the ailing
and afflicted, as they are deficient in
one thing alone, viz. the stimulant that
unduly excites the brain, and creates a
morbid thirst for spirits 1! There is no
phase of Indigestion, biliousness, ner-
vous disease, or physical debility, in
which they will not effect a cure. Iu-
valids who are wasting away from a
want of proper action in the liver,

constitutional specific, and a fountain
of vitality and vigor as refreshing and
celebrating as a cool, gushing spring

What Constitutes a Good Driver

1. A man who sees that good care is
taken of his horse in the stable by being
well fed with wholesome food, of crack
ed corn, and oats, with plenty of good
hay. Potatoes or carrots may be given
once or twice a week to good advantage.
See that he is kept clean, warm and
comfortable, with plenty of bedding. A
piece of rock salt should always be left
In the manager.
2. He should see that his harness is
kept soft and clean, particularly the in
side of the collar, which ought always
to be smooth, as the perspiration, when
dry, causes irritation, and is liable to
produce gals on the shoulder. The
collar should fit closely, with space
enough at the bottom to admit mans
hand. If too large it has the bad effect
of drawing the shoulders together. On
no consideration should team, or any
work horse be compelled to wear mar
tingale, as it draws the head down, and
prevents him getting into an easy and
natural position. The check-rein may
be used, but only tight enough to keep
the head IN natural position, and it
should never be wound around his
names. See that the names are buckled
tight enough at the top to bring the
draught-iron near the centre of the col
lar. If too low, it not only interferes
with the action of the shoulder, but
gives the collar an uneven bearing. eau
ton should be taken that the grit is not
buckled too tight, particularly on string
teams, for when the traces are straight
ened it has the tendency to draw the
Sirt against tho holly and distress the
horse.
3. See that the horse is kept well shod
with good stiff shoe, always calked at
toe and heel on the hind feet, as it is
there where all the propelling power
comes from when heavily loaded. Keep
the feet good and strong by not allow
ing them to be cut away too much by
the blacksmith.
4. The best judgment should be used
in loading, taking into consideration the
condition of the street and the distance
to be travelled. Never overload, for by
SO doing you only distress, strain, and
discourage your horse, and do more in
jury than you can possibly gain by car
rying the extra load. When your load
is hard to pull, stop often, and give your
horse chance to breathe. No good
driver will ever resort to the cruel prac-
tice of whipping or beating his horse.
A light whip may be carried, but there
is seldom use for it. Much more can
be accomplished by kind treatment and
good Judgment.

Best Wood for Rutter-Tubs.

There are but few kinds of wood that
are fit to be used for packing butter,
even for short time. White oak is
considered the best of anything in COM
mon use. Ash is used considerably, but
it is said to contain an acid which will
lnjure the butter in short time. Pine,
spruce, and other resinous woods are
sometimes used, but are Objectionable
as they impart their peculiar taste to
the butter. Whatever wood is used, it
should be previously prepared for re-
ceiving the butter by soaking in brine
couple of days, then pour in boiling
brine and let it remain two days longer.
The hot brine takes out most of the
wood taste, and fills the pores with salt
instead, which helps to keep the tub
air-tight. The Importance of sending
butter to market in suitable packages is
not fully appreciated by many dairy
men. At the Vermont dairymen's meet
ing, last winter, Mr.. Henry Stuart read
paper on the question of butter max
ing and butter marketing, looking at it
from the standpoint of the consumer.
He said it takes four times as long to
use pound of poor butter in family
as it does of one pound of that which is
BOOu. Ii all the DuGOer bIaI was udue
was of a good quality, the consumption
would be increased to great extent.
A person can find but little frst-rate
butter in the hands of the grocer. The
purchaser of poor butter considers him
self i'll used and grumbles. Much but
ter is spoiled by being packed in unpre-
pared tubs or in secondhand tubs.
He once made butter, and on one occa-
sion sent off package in tubs that had
been used previously. He was returned
twenty-seven cents per pound, instead
of forty cents, as he would have had if
the tubs had been new and sweet. Then
much butter is spoiled in the hands of
dealers by allowing it to stand in close
proximity to packages of Goldfish, on
ions, kerosene oil, mackerel and tobac-
CO. Would line the boxes with cloth,
saturated with strong brine. He had
made and put up butter that sold in a
country town for fifty cents, when ordi
nary butter from the grocers brought
but twenty-five cents. The suet butter,
as it is called, though it is not legal to
sell it under the name of butter, is
vastly better than much real butter that
is exposed for sale in our cities.

THE GAME OF LIFE.

This life is but game of cards,
Which mortals have to learn;
Each shuffies, cuts, and deals the pack,
And each trump doth turn.
Some bring high card to the top,
And others bring low.
Some hold hand quite flush of trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with practiced hand,
And pack their cards with care,
So they may know, when they are dealt,
Where all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupes of rOgues,
While roughs each other cheat,
And he is very wise, indeed,
Who never meets defeat.
When playing, some throw out the ace,
The counting cards to save,
Some play the deuce and some the ten,
But many play the knave.
Some play for money, some for fun,
And some for worldly fame,
But not until the games played out,
Can they count up their gain.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules the hour.
No thoughts of sorrow check our joy,
In beauty's rosy bower.
We sing. We dance, sweet verses make,
Our cards at random play,
And while one trump remains at top,
Our games holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the tor,
The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are bet and won,
By gamblers young AID old.
Intent on winning, each his game
Doth watch with eager eye,
How he may see his neighbors cards,
And beat them on the sly.
When clubs are trumps look out for war,
On ocean and on land,
For bloody horrors always come,
When clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead Of gold,
The dogs of war are freed
In our dear country, and we see,
That clubs have got the lead.
Last game of all, is when the spade
Is turned by hand Of time;
He always deals the closing game,
In every age and cline.
No matter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves,
The spade viii finish up the game,
Aud dig the players grave.

A GIRLS FOREVER.

Still and sad in the soft May weather,
He held her close for a last, long kiss
Is I'll wait for you dear" she said j" forever!
No later hour shall be false to this;
For mine is a love that can alter never y
The mulberry flowers drop down once more
Sweet over the two that stand together:
But not the two that stood before,
Parting sad in the soft May weather
For the earth has changed its bloom a saiu,
And the love has changed that would alter never
But a year has come and gone since then
And that is the length of girls forever
