In the United States Senate,

Of those who have had great length
of service in the Senate. Thomas 81.
Benton heads the list. He was mem
ber of the Senate for thirty years, and
no other United States Senator served
there for four full terms. Charles Sum-
ner had four continuous elections, but
died within less than a year of the close
of his fourth term-chosen in 1851, and
dying March II, 1874. James A. Pearce,
of Maryland, had four successive cleo
tions, but died soon after the commence
ment of his last term-chosen In lS43,
and dying December 20, 1862. Daniel
Webster had four continuous elections,
1927, 1888, 1889, and 1845, but there
was break in the last two terms, when
he was in the Harrison and Fillmore
cabineJs-1841 and 1850. Henry Clay
had five appointments to the Senate, the
first two by gubernatorial selection,
1906 and 1910, and the rest from the
Legislature-1831, 1887, 1849. he re.
signed near the close of his second full
term, and after serving three years OF
his last, rendered his resignation, but
died, June 90, 1852, before the date
named for it's taking effect. John O.
Calhoun was fifty years of age before he
was sent to the Senate, to which he had
five elections. He had been in the lower
House of Congress for six years, secre'
tary of war for eight years, and Vice
President for nearly eight years. He was
elected to the Senate in December, 1882
as the successor of Robert Y. Hayne. re-
elected in 1885 and in 1841, resigned II
1S42, and subsequently went into the
Tyler cabinet as secretary OF State
Senator Huger resigned in 1S45 tt

ed and served out his original term; he
was reelected in 1847, and continued
there until his death, March 81, 1850.

The farm of Mr.. Halliday was originally
bought and used for stock farm, but it
never paid, and the owner has steadily
lost money since its purchase. At one
time there were over $50 horses-mostly
breeding mares-on the place, but for
the last few seasons not more than nine
teen or twenty horses have been on the
farm. Mr.. Charles Ohle leased the $50
acres last year and is trying to work up
the place.
The breeding stable, which is as luxu-
riously furnished as q modern villa, is
still kept up.
The Ophir farm is now for sale, and
several offers have been made. The
Catholics desire the chateau for con-
vent of the Sacred Heart, and thoy wish
for 100 acres on the front park. They
have offered $35, 900 for the chateau and
100 acres, but as the most of the acres
they seek cost MIR. Halladay 81, 900 each
Mr.. Otis refuses to sell.
Mr.. Halladay has one son in San Fran
cisco, Ben, Jr., and daughter who is
welded to French baron, who lives in
Paris. Another daughter, who was the
wife of a French count, died suddenly
on the cars in coming out from San
Francisco. She was buried in the tomb
in Harrison.
The history of the novelties Of the
Ophir farm would fill volume. At one
time o large number of buffaloes were
kept on it, and in the spring the greater
number of them escaped from their in
closure, and ranged through the neigh:
boring woods. They were hunted and
slaughtered by the farmers. In many
cases they destroyed large amounts OF
property, and it is said that the Halla.
day estate paid from $4,000 to $40, 600
for the damages.

A Perfect Day.

The earth is wrapped in q dream Of bliss,
In rest complete
And the touch Of the air is like kiss,
Comforting, sweet
And the tiny creatures arc singing low
AS lullaby;
And the watching silence doth stir and glow
AS the wind creeps by.
And there is the suns own mantle flung
On the chestnut tops,
And yonder are tangled rainbows hung
With shimmering drops.
And over the things 30 soon to die
Is a gentlor law,
A hush Of peace and tenderer sky
Than the summer saw.
Open the windows wide to-day,
Where soul may dwell,
In the heart Of palace grand and gay,
Or prison cell.
Oh, look, ye happy, till pleasure grows
10 nobler thing;
Till you bring your joy as the amber flows.
For an offering.
And look, ye weary, till grief and pain
Transfgured shine;
Rejoice for the crimson glory's gain,
The hottest sign.
Oh, mourn ye never that hope is lost,
That rest delays;
They are after summer and after frost,
These weetest days.
Often and often will skies be gray,
And hearts be sad;
But the Lord hath made I'D perfect day
Let Us be glad.

A Magician's Marketing.

Professor Hermann, the prestidigi-
tateur, went marketing in Cincinnati
with an invited company Of Bohemians,
and certainly astonished the natives" !"
To buy eggs from a fine old farmer
woman, break them and find silver and
gold pieces in each until further sales at
ruling market prices were refused, was
of the simplest of his tricks. To pull
eggs out of the mouth OF hrckster, or
to shake silver and gold out of his hair,
were Introductory feats only. Most
noteworthy, perhaps, of his feats was
the twisting off the head of a pigeon,
and, upon the indignant owner asking
pay, restoring the. bird to life-to such
vigorous life, indeed, that the bird flew
away, compelling Hermann to pay for
his joke after ALL The party returned to
the hotel, where Hermann tore pack
of tifty-two cards into eighths, again
proving that gigantic strength, especially
in the forearm an fingers, are as essen
tial to such marvellous success as Herr
mann's in "sleight of hand" as are
skill ,qlnckness Of hand and eye, and
early and careful training in the wonders
of optics and optical delusion.

STOVE Pon1sH.-By placing piece OF

nut, in the stove blacking, the blacklng

To Stop LEAKS IN BonERs.-Get one
ounce muriatic acid, add what scraps OF
zinc it will dissolve, then add one-third
water, cork bottle tight, scrape clean
around the leak, wash thoroughly with
the preparation, then melt and apply
soft solder. Every kind of tin or cop
per vessel can be mended in this way.
To MAKE Sort TSoAP.-Twelve pounds
white potash, twenty four pounds grease.
Dissolve the potash in one pailful of
cold water melt the grease and pour in.

Javelle water. Javelle water is the only
thing sure to remove mildew.
The Fodder Value of Apples.
In his investigation of the fodder
value OF apples, Prof. storer confirms
the observations of other chemists, to
the effect that apples are very poor in
nitrogen. The flesh of Baldwins and
Russets yielded 15.7-17.5 per cent. OF
dry organic matter (the rest being wa
ter and mineral matters), and only OF
OFT per cent. of aIbuminoids. Apple
pomace contained 22.3 per cent. OF dry
organic matter, and 0.9S per cent. albu-
midoids. Leaving the water out OF &C
count, the dry matter of the flesh OF
apples contains 1.4S per cent. of alhu-
minoids, while the dry matter of pota'
toes has 1854, and pumpkin 1882 per
cent of albuminoids. From these facts
two interesting conclusions are to be
drawn. First, the small amount of nj
trogen explains at least one reason for
the low value of apples for feed and for
manure; and, second, to make econ
omical fodder from apples or pomace,
food rich in nitrogen should be added.
In this way not only the sugar, but also
the pectose, of which apples are largely
composed, may be economically utilized
as food.

Wouldn't " Stop the Paper"

Aman called in the other day, says
the Dexter (Me. } Gazette, and requested
us to stop the paper. We thought the
matter over, and concluded not to do it.
We have got presses and other ma
chimes in here that cost about $4,000,
types almost without number, and other
materials necessary for running a first
class local paper and job printing estab-
hshment, and we can't and won't stop
this paper and things connected there
with, to crafty the whim of man,
woman, or child, III the circle of our as
sceiation. We did, however, consent to
remove the mans name from our list
book, which was quite another thing.
We hope we shall not again be requested
to "stop the Gazette" for unless ou1
mind undergoes great change we
shall not do it.

is fully thirty inches across the back,
girths nine feet, ana weighs 1,Hf
pounds. It has been fed principally
upon milk, with small quantities Of corr
occasionally to give soidity to the flesh,
and shows that no particular pains have
been taken to give it an artificial ap

flesh is rough and thick with dandruf
and it is by no means thing Of beauty
Still it is claimed that it is the largest
and heaviest hog on the globe. 1T

Gr0wling Over the Silver.

A New York correspondent OF an ex-
change says: People who have been
sighing for years for metallic currency
don't find the boon blessing. Every
hour in the day the paying teller has q
quarrel with his patrons, who demand
stamps and get specie. The belle in the
cars hands up fifty cent stamp and
looks with dismay at the handful of coin
returned, which weighs down her pocket
and bursts out the side of her imported
portemonnaie. People everywhere are
signing over the departure of tho much
abused but convenient currency OF the
war.
