It doesn't pay to reset thin wheel
tires. The chief strength OF the wheel
lies in the rim.
There is great economy in soaking
the felloes OF business wagon wheels
with raw linseed oil it will preserve
the wood and save the Deeessity of
frequent tire setting, an operation TO be
avoided.
When you buy new fork or hoe,
good farming requires that ysu oil the
handle. 1t costs but a tritie, and your
tool looks better and will wear longer.
Good harness kept soft with meats
foot oil is credit to the owner, and a
comfort to the animal that wears it.
Soft harness il stronger than dry one.
II IL slightly elastic and bends without
breaking.
Horse stalls are usually made too
narrow. A tired horse neecs room to
turn over and stretch his limbs; fatal
injuries come from coufining spirited
horses IN short, narrow stalls. A friend
had the best one of valuable span
kicked by . strange horse in short
stall. which broke . leg. A pair OF
handsome western horses were brought
to take the place of the bays, and one
OF them in one year knocked down a
hip, perhaps By narrow stall, and is
now OF trifiing value.

CALEB y. EItRSN's HSCiPE..

Special dispatch to ihs New York
Times.
Washington, March ). - The facts
about tie escape OF Marsh are a good
deal worse than they were supposed to
be last night. He was here under the
SUMMONS Of the committee, and so long
as be was not discharged was liable TO
punishment for going away. Mr. ely
mer, however, discharged him as wit
ness, and ordered his fees to be paid. so
that he went TO Montreal as freely as
any American citizen might 60. The
discharge OF the witness was made
against the protest of Mr.. Bass, a Re-
publican member of the committee. On
the day that Marsh went away, 90 il is
stated on excellent authority, Mr.. ely
msr was informed by Secret Service Off
GERS that Marsh had made his prepara-
tons 20 90 TO Canada and that be could
be detained il 1t was desired. Mr.. Cly-
mer declined to take any action. This
part Of the story. besides such verifea-
zion rs makes II reasonably certain, is
IN accordance with tho discharge Of the
witness, the consequences Of which Mr.
Clymer very well knew. o. course
there was purpose for this, and the,
people will inquire what il was. Per-
maps Mr.. Clymer may be able 10 make n
satisfactory explanation. but be would
seem TO have rs many difficulties before
him il making 1t as General Belknap
after his admission to the committee.
The House may send as many articles
of Impeachment to th9 Senate rs the
Judiciary Committee can prepare. bat
they will all be useless without the
presence Of the witness Marsh. There
can be no prosecution in the courts on
evidence thus far taken. There is moth
ing to do, therefore, bnt for the COM
mittee to go to work and discover new
evidence, or new cases of bribery, if this
be possible. Since Marsh has ESCAPED
ths charges are made among Democrats
that he was impelled to run away by
the orders Of the President for legal
proceedings 10 be brought against all the
consplrators. This is false charge, be-
cause no such orders were given. No
thing WIS done or suggested by the
Government to interfere in the slightest
degree with the use Of all the accom-
plices in the crime, and but for .ae do
charge Of the witness by Mr. Clymer he
would have been in Washington to-day.
Nobody but Mr.. Clymer can tell whether
Marsh was permitted to SO away in order
to prevent the punishment Of the Secre-
tary, or whether there was some politi-
cal trick, or whether it was merely
piece of gross negligence. He can hard
ly shield himself by the latter admission,
since he had sufficient warning Of the

some EXCELLENT Po8TRAITs. We
visited Mr.. McClellan's studio Yesterday
and found him very busy at his easel.
We find that since our last visit to his
rooms, he has been very busy. Among
the more notable and successful products
OF his brush are portrait of Mrs Fraser,
wife Of the well known superintendent
of the Original Gold Hill mine; full
length picture OF little Miss Dora O'Don-
nell, daughter of Mr.. James O'Donnell,
foreman of the Imperial-Empire mine;
a partly finished head Of the late Mr..
Storey, from whom Storey county in this
State receives its name; and a very ex-
cellent likeness of our long time fellow
citizen, Sir. Adolphus Watt. The por-
trait of Mrs. Fraser is going to be
noble picture-a very great triumph of
the portrait painters art; and that of
Mr.. O'Donnell's little daughter-in
which class of pictures Mr.. Mcclellan
greatly excels-is certain to be in all its
parts-design, accessories, likeness and
all, beautiful piece of work-at once a
qualification to the parents as likeness,
and an ornament to whatever room it
may be placed in. We are glad to see
that Mac has his hands full Of work.

THREATENED DESTRUCTION. - A few
DAYS ago, says the Gold Hill News. We
announced that communication from
the spirit world. given to circle in this
town, stated that the whole lower part
OF Gold Hill, from the Rhode Island
mill to MERGERS store. would be de-
stroyed by fire on the 18th inst. But it
wasn't. The only thing approximating
to fulfllment Of the prophecy was the
tar kettle fire at the Belcher hosting
works. We have since been informed
that the aforesaid calamity was post
poued until the DIST instant. when il is
to come off without fail. The spirit Of
the Old fireman who speaks the proph-
ecy has been skirmishing around and
lowering over Gold Hill for some time
past, and bases his prophetic declara-
ton upon the defective condition of GER
tain stovepipes which lie has taken par
ticulgr notice Of. His spiritual vision is
somewhat confused as yet, not being
able to designate the particular stove
pipes IN question, otherwise than that
they are in the lower part of the town.
He is able to know that the 2l.t will be
the coolest day of the season, and some
time during the day or evening people
viii feel inclined to build unusually hot
fires to keep warm, which will result in
those stovepipes settin. the roof ablaze.
The hydrants and other water arrange
ments will be frozsn up. causing much
delay il getting the first stream of water
on the fire. consequently allowing the
coufagra;ion to spread to the limits
mentioned.

When the dew OF the evening in silence doth fall

And the slitterins stare in the beauty Of night,
Are cleaning as jewels with 1ustre and light;
When the just arc asleep mid the blessings of rest,
And dseamjng OF home in the land OF the b1est,
Or the erring ones cry In The darkness il heard,
And the river runs swift as the flight Of bird;
1Aen the Angels come down from the Throne far
above,
By the Kings own command. sent In mercy and
love,
Ger the children Of earth to watch and to pray
Till the dawnins OF light bzingeth forth the clear
day.
Obi sweet be thy slunbers, blest heart full Of
Thy gfadness in waling or death shall necr cease;
And thou, poor unfortunate, gone, and alone.
Above with the Angels ind rest and home;
For the Father above, In the mansions Of light
In mercy will welcome thy spirit tonight,
AZ the love Of His Angels prayer sweet and low,
Hath pleaa till thy sins are made whter than snow.
