THE death OF the celebrated horse
Hamblctonian will be regretted almost as
if the brute had been ahuman being. The
sire Of some of the best horses in the
land, his name has been familiar To all
levers of animals for quarter Of u
century. Other horses have trotted faster
than he did, but it is doubtful whether
this would be true il he had been given to
The turf az other animals have been.
While yet mere colt he trotted u mile in
2.4Sis; but he was never trained TO his
best speed. His owners have preferred TO
make him useful in improving the breed
of horses In this country, and his descend
ants constitute to-day the very best stock
we have. He has died at the age oil
twenty seven years, and mis- skin is to be
stuffed for honorable exhibition in Central
Park. IN. y. Commercial advertiser.

The Mnite Combination.

The above troupe will commence
nights engagement at Fields Theatre
on next Wednesday night. They are
commended by the general press AZ
performers Of merit and worthy of
patronage, The following very COM
plimentary notice is taken from the
st. Joseph Journal:
Annie Waite and William II. Leake
are not upstairs in their chosen pro-
fessisn /; they have made 1t the study
Of their lives to approximate perfeS-
ton, and at the same time to elevate
the standard. Although still on the
sunny side of life, they have lived to
reap the rewards of their patient en-
beavers, not only in the rapturous
plaudits of admiring thousands, but in
the more substantial, though not more
satisfactory, matter of dollars and
cents. For some years Mr.. Leake has
been lessee and manager of the Opera
House at indianapolis, and has made
It one of the most popular and success
full institutions of the kind in the coun
try. Meanwhile Annie Waite has been
playing star engagements at Chicago,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and the princi.
pal Eastern cities.
Annie Waite is comparatively a
young woman, of medium size, cast in
natures most perfect mould. In her
representations she never rauts and
frets, nor does she affect to "split the
ears of the gro1ndllngs;' yet she Is the
reverse of tame. In the most quiet
scenes she is always intense, and faith
fully represents the character she has
assumed--no more or less. She IL more
than an actress-she is an artistic. For
the information of those who attend
no less to feast the eye than
the ear, we may state that her ward
robe Is simply magnificent.
William II. Leake's acting In many
respects is similar to that of Miss
Waite. AT times he rises to the sub.
lime in the most impassionate scenes,
and his burning eloguence bursts forth
In fiery, irresistible torrents; anon he
subsidies into the style and
tone of ordinary conversation, leaving
no gaps for the imagination to supply,
and bearing no traces of the fierce
storm of passion that swayed him but
q moment before. 1t can truthfully be
said Of him that he never overd0es his
part.

Remedy for Wounds.

Every person should know how to
treat a flesh wound. Every one is liza
BILE to be placed in circumstances away
from surgical veterinary aid, where
he may save his own life, the life Of a
friend or a beast, simply by the exer.
else of little common sense. In the
first place, close the lips of the wound
with the hands and hold them closely
together to check the flow of blood un-
til several stitches can be taken and a
bandage applied. Then battle the
wound for long time in cold water.
Should it be painful, take painful of
burning Goals and sprinkle upon them
common brown sugar and hold the
wounded part in the smoke. In a min
ute or two the pain will be. allayed,
and the recovery proceed rapidly. In
my case rusty nail had made 4 bad
wound in my foot. The pain and nerv-
GUS irritation were severe. This was
all removed by holding it in the smoke
fifteen minutes, and was able to re-
sumo my reading in comfort. I have
often recommended it to others, with
like result.

Apoplexy and Intoxication.

The British Medical Journal speaks
of the difficulty often existing in dis
tinguishing between intoxication and
fatal apoplexy. Aploplexy from cere-
bral hemorrage initiates not only the
comatose stage of drunkenness, but &C.
casionally the ''uproarious'' form,
when the drunkard seems determined
to show what can be done in the line
of noise. A recent case exemplifiies
this remark. A gentleman was found
lying in the gutter by a policeman, and
as the gentleman sang ssTommy, make
way for your uncle, :" and also said part
of the Lords prayer, he was supposed
to be drunk, and was taken to the DO.
lice Office. Later on, as he seemed to
be in q fit, he was sent to q hospital:

Trees-HOW to Grow Them.

CottOnWoods generally grow we'll
from cuttings, providing the cuttings
are in good condition when planted.
The more vigorous the shoot from
which they are cut the better. Cut
them to 10 inches long, Just as the
sap is swelling the buds, put them
speedily into the ground, and they will
seldom fail to grow.
They may be planted by a person
striking a spade down the length of it's
blade, showing the handle forward, SO
as to leave space behind it, and then
shove the cutting down into this space.
withdraw the spade and step imme-
diately in front Of the cutting, SO as to
press the ground closely around it.
They may also be dropped into a shall
low furrow and covered with a plow.
In this case the ground should after
ward be rolled, so as to press the
ground close around them. It is not
certain but this is the better way.
But cottonwoods seed themselves
readily on the sandbars along all the
| rivers and streams in these parts.
They can, when one and two years old,
be easily pulled up with the hand-a
thousand an hour costing nothing but
the pulling up and conveying to the
point desired. They can be planted in
manner similar to the cuttings. If
one does not live near one of these
streams, he can get seeding from some
one who does, without the interven-
ton of any nurseryman.
Box elder and ash are best propa-
gated from the seed, which ripens in
the fall, but does not generally drop to
the ground until spring. It may be
gathered any time before it falls and
planted in nursery rows in the spring.
to be set out where they are to grow
the next spring.
Walnut and butternut are best plant
ed where they are to grow, immediately
after the falling of the nuts and with
out stshucking" them. Drop them in
burrows, as the land is plowed, four to
six feet each way, covering with the
plow. Sometimes they will not come
up until a year from the following
spring. They do not. transplant we'll.
Acorns may be planted in the same wav
AS indeed may. also ash and box elder.
All these young trees need cultivat-
ing for the first two or three years. A
good plan is to plant corn with them
especially the first year. The shade Of
the corn is q help to the trees and tia
trees do not injure che corn. ami the
crop amply pays for the first plowinr
and the after cultivation.

makes music, and how sweetly Ellen
and Harry repeat their poetry-just as
you are expected to be polite when
they pull your whiskers and fight for
your watch, and to smile, as to good
acrobat feat, when Jacky makes fly
ing leap into your hat. Harry scram-
bles on to your knee and informs the
company that you wear a wig, and that
he can see gold in your mouth. The
natural sequel to such a course is that
the position becomes untenable even
Tor the most indulgent mother, and
that the darlings are sent in the end to
school, there to continue their educa-
ton.
After the forcing houses of the nur-
sery and the drawing.room, their
minds are sufficiently matured to de-
velop any seeds for evil and precocious
knowledge that may drop into the I'M
titled soil, and on getting to their first
school, it is generally enough for chill
dren to unite their experiences to get
all the doubtful points cleared up
which have exercised the youthful
mind ever since the days of the first
man. 1t is at this stage of their exist
ence that we hear of mothers being
shocked at the revelations made bY
their own children. Things which a
generation ago were known only at the
proper age, and when ignorance would
have been folly, are whispered in cor
ners among these callow investigators
and the one who has most to tell is
the one who is king or queen of the
rest: When the mother snatches her
child from this unsatisfactory school,
and that undesirable companion, she
thinks perhaps that she has saved it
but the tree of the fruit of knowledge
when eaten opens the eyes so that they
can never close again, and what the
mind has once received the memory
can never reject. In the more ad-
vanced schools the dangers attached
to unlimited condolences are so we'll
understood that experienced matrons
have recourse to various stratagems
to prevent their possibility. Two
girls will not be allowed to consort to-
gether for any length of time and
whispering and low voices are express
ly forbidden. In walking out they
must go in threes, or with a different
companion for each day. Governesses
| have directions to watch all prefer
entail couplings, and to break them
up by adding third to the party not
ostentatiously, so as to cause suspicion
OF motives, which would be as bad
perhaps as the evil sought to be pre-
| vented, but with the craft of quiet
ness, the hypocrisy of concealment-
which we may cite as one instance of
the lawfulness of doing good by under
hand methods. Those schools are the
best where the social feeling is most
encouraged in contradistinction to the
personal and individual and in saying
this we say all that need be told. Add
to this, unresting occupation, whether
it be learning or amusement, business
Or play-at all events, the disallowance
of sloth and self indulgence in every
tform-and the dangers of school life
are reduced to their lowest possible
sum, with SO much good to come from
wise guardianship and well-chosen
employments as shall go far to neutral
ize what remains and keep the girls as
fresh and pure as is possible in these
odd days of ours.
