JACKSON, Miss, January 25.-Seeing
the speedy death OF the State police bill,
its author, when the bill came up upon
special order this morning, offered sub
stitute, which was made the special or
. der for Wednesday. The substitute pro-
vdes for the reorganization Of the mill
tia, and requires the governor to organ
ize, uniform, arm and equip from the
militia so org" niZed, two regiments Of
infantry, to be held in readiness at any
time to obey the governors orders; and
he may, if he deems it necessary, pur-
chase four or more Gatling guns, to serve
in conjunction with the infantry forces.
Both the bill and substitute will proba-
bly be indefinitely postponed. PrOmi-
nent Republicans think it neither neces-
sary or advisable to organize standing
army in this State.
The house transacted its usual quota
of business; that is, nothing worth re-
porting.
The Warren county metropolitan pO-
lice bill will be considerably modified in
the committeeman, but the probabili-
ties are that it will never get through
both houses in any shape.

WASHINGTON, January 27.-In the
house dilatory motions were made
until eleven O'Clock, with every
indication of a continuation Of the SEES
sion till noon tomorrow. The votes have
been of q strictly partisan character.
The eighth roIl-call was commenced at
eleven O'Clock. There is no prospect OF
any legislation tonight. The only
break in the mOnOtOny Of roll-call since
the offer of MIR. Butler to present a basis
of compromise, has been the presenta-
ton by Mr.. Dawes of the credentials Of
his colleague-elect, Mr.. Stevens, who
was chosen to fill the vacancy Occa-
stoned by the death Of Mr.. Crocker. The
credentials were received and Mr.. Ste
vens sworn in and took his seat. On
the last rOll.csll two hundred and five
members answered TO their names,
showing that but comparatively small
number have grown weary OF the fight,
and most of these were perhaps in and

said that he entered upon the discharge
of his Presidential career by refusing

the Democratic party in Tennessee, and
renders it simply invincible, so long as
it practices common prudence and hon

.". OF THE HHf
State Board Of Agriculture, Manufactures
' and Mining,
AZ Ludlow, "wednesday and Thursday, De-
. eenaber 4 and 2.

The meeting was called to order by Col
j. b. Mead who briefly stated its object.
l.. q. Fullam was elected president, aud on
taking the chair he briefly welcomed the
board to Ludlow, hoping that a good inter-
est would be manifested aud the meeting
prove profitable to all.
The first paper was read by Albert Chap
man, topic, "horses for Vermont" As an
abstract Of this paper has already been
printed none will be given here.
In the discussion which followed the read
ing Of Mr. Chapman's paper, Col Mead Of
the board said, Vermont has lost her prece-
dent by sending OF her best Morgans. BY
breeding to larger strains, we often get poor
horses. Is satisfied that the Morgan COM
bines the most good qualities
MIR Billings Of Ludlow said, there are no
better horses than those OF Morgan blood.
Vermont horses bring better prices than
those of other states. Horses aud other
stock are better here than at the West. The
speaker earnestly advised young men to stay
in Vermont.
Inreply TO a question, Mr. Chapman 70.
fsrred TO several Morgan horses in Vermont
whose services may be obtained, and cODtin'
uing, said The tall horses do not bring
the greatest prices those that do are o
medium height. II is safer to breed tC
small horses twenty-four out Of twenty-five
are to be used for other purposes than trOt
ting these twenty.four are Of more cOnse
quence than the fast tr0lling Of the twenty
fifth.
@. Horace Hubbard Of the board, said
10 breeding we have depended too muc
upon blood and pedigree aud not enOug
upon individual merit. Every inferior ani
NAL should be discarded. Many fast horse
on the track are so frail as to be good fc
nothing else. Morgan horses we're good 70

Sheep on the Farm.


Since the decline ip the price of wool at
the close Of the war of the rebellion when
the enormous waste Of woolen goods by the
army ceased, followed as it was By the
collapse of the inflated prices of thoro ugh
bred sheep, wool growing has been in bad
repute. The lack of interest 10 this impor.
taut industry has caused such indifference to
protective tariff legislation that the tariff has
been botched without much regard to the iu-
terests Of wool growers, who have not con-
tiuued their organized efforts for protection
from, as we'll as by, congressional action

Young men in New England who have
the privileges aud comforts of civilization,
but who are piuing for life, adventure
and swiftly made fortunes in the far West,
may be interested in the following graphic
extracts from letters from friend in Wyo-
ming: J3 aJof 1890
"CannOt say have fallen in love with
this country or the customs of the people.
The inhabitants are, as general thing, Of
rough class, full Of poor whisky and accom-.
panying vices, and many Of them quite dis.

England many times. IL is quite a change
to come from place where they had every
comfort to land where there is nothing.
l miss good bed the most of anything. We
have few blankets and buffalo robe no
sheets or pillows. Take tick of wood, or
roll up our coats for the latter. Plenty of
bedbugs though.
"The roof of our log shanty is shingled
with turf and furnishes no protection from
rain, except the logs break the force Of the
wind. On recent rainy day our nests
(canuot call them beds) were drenched, the
AOor covered with water, and we oil got
pretty wet. l tell you that made me think
of good Vermont house.
I'VE have been having for the past month
November 23dl very severe winter weather.
Large fall Of snow, and at times it was very
GOLD. A week ago the thermometer ran
down to tweuty-three degrees below 0. Such
weather is hard on sheep, and many are dy.
ing. One cold morning found 10 last spring
lambs dead. They had piled up to keep
warm, and the above number had so ffocatsd
Since then have been with them nights,
and do not mean they shall play that on IN,
