They Ind company to tea, The table

They had company to tea. The table
was set out spleudidly. The biscuit
were as white and light and haky as
snow, and tho cake WAS just lovely. The
company were delighted with everything,
and were enjoying themselves hugely,
and getting the modus Opcrandi of
making biscuit, which were too lovely
for anything, When the infant of the
household unfortunately whispered:
"Ma, why don't you have such n tea
when there amt comrany?'

Of my life. Knowing as I do, therefore, from
fresh experience, how great the difference is
between gliding %througSan official routine and
working out a reform Of systems and policies,
it is impossible for me to contemplate what
needs to be done in the Federal administra-
ton without an anxious sense OF the difficult
ties Of the undertaking. II summoned by the
suffrages Of my countrymen to attempt this
work, I SHALL onleavor, with Gods help, to be
the efficient instrument of their will.
SAMUEL J. TnDEN.
GOV. HENDRICKS LETTER.
Governor Hendricks, in accepting the NOM
nation for the Vice. Presidency, says in con-
clusion: 1t will be seer that 1 am in entire
accord with the platform Of the convention by
which I have been nominated as a candidate
for the office Of Vice.President Of the United
States. Permit me, in conclusion, to express
my satisfaction at being associated with a can
didate for the Presidency who is first among
his equals as a representative of the spirit and
Of the achievements OF reform. In his official
career as the executive Of the great State OF
New York, he has, in a comparatively short
period, reformed the public service and re-
duced the public burden, so as to have earned at
once the gratitude Of his State and the admira-
ton Of the country. The people know him
himself to be possessed Of powers and quail
ties which fit him, in an eminent degree, for
the great work Of reformation which this
country now needs and if he shall be chosen
by the people to the high Office Of President
of the United States, l believe that tho day of
his Inauguration will be the beginning Of a
new era OF peace, purity and prosperity in oil
departments of our government. I am, gentle
men, your obedient servant.

Bone Manure.
The question arising in the American
farmers club as to the reason why bone
manure is so valuable, a member replied
that the great utility Of bones as a ma
nure arises from the large amount of
phosphates which they contain. On all
pastures which have been long fed the
phosphate of lime is exhausted. 1t is
Instantly taken from the earth in the
1rass to form the bone, the muscle and
the milk of animals. OF the earthly
matter in bones nearly fve-sixths con-
sist of phosphate of lime and magnesia.
Nitrogen is also abundant, and of course
ammonia, A few bushels Of bone dust
will often quite restore old, worn-out
pastures. The ashes Of all grains are
very rich in phosphate of lime, which
goes to prove the importance of furnish
ing this element for their use.
One farmer recommended a mixture
of crushed bones and ashes, or leached
ashes, as a valuable top-dressing.

Young trees will suffer from the bot
sun and dryness. See to the mulch if
n is not already put on, lose no time
in applying it, and replace any that may
have been disturbed by the wind or
otherwise. Ii a young tree seems to be
suffering give it an extra mulch, and If
it has q long, naked trunk tie some hay
or straw around to shade it.
Crafts set this spring need attention.
If they pub too vigorously, pinch the
end out; if too many buds start, remove
useless shoots. Sec that shoots from
the stock do not rob the graft.
Seedlings, especially of forest trees,
will suffer from the hot sun, and must be
shaded. A lattice work of laths or
other stats is best; a good substitute is
to stick leafy branches all over the bed.
days delay in killing them greatly in
creases the task.
Thinning the fruit is especially neces-
sary on young trees disposed to over
bear. Removing half or more of the
crop to be marketed is found to pay in
the increased price OF better fruit.-Ag-

THE PISTOL IN PLATTE.
An Editor Shot by a County Treas.
urer,
Especial to st. Louis Times.1

A serious shooting affray occurred at
Platte City several days ago. between
Mr.. R. T. Darnall, county treasurer, and
Tom Tnurston, publisher of the Advo-
cate. Thurston has been in Platte City
about two months, and during the time
has filled his paper with the most vio-
lent personal abuse of many of our lead
ing citizens. He has also gone up and
down the streets, armed with shot-guns
and pistols, threatening the lives of va
rious parties. On a recent occasion he
called Hon. R. T. Darnall a liar, where
upon Darnall choked him until Thurston
begged for mercy. In last Fridays is
sue of the Advocate, Thurston publish
ed a very abusive article about Darnall.
Last Saturday Darnall met Thurston,
and the latter.made demonstrations to-
ward drawing a pistol, w%hereupon OAR
nall grabbed him, threw him upon the
pavement, and whipped him until he
begged for mercy. Thurston then drew
I pistol which was taken from him by a
bystander. Darnall was moving away.
when Ihurston drew another pistol AND
fired on him. Darnall her drew bis
pistol and fired five shots, Thurston fir.
ing two and running. Darnall overlook
Thurston, knocked him down and took
his pistol from him. Afterwards it was
found that Thurston was shot through
the face, but is not supposed to be fatal.
ly wounded. Darnall was unhurt. The
sentiment of the community is entirely
with Darnall, except that portion which
imported Thurston here and made hin
do their bidding.
