"TELL ME, is THAT TRUE 2"

Willie had been brought home, terribly
scalded by the explosion of boiler, and the
poor little fellow begged so piteously to see
some one from his Sunday school that his
mother went for the minister, who accompa-
MED the poor woman to her home in an alley
in a remote part of the city. On reaching the
locality, they ascended long, dark stairway,
and entered low attic-room. In one corner
of the room, on cot, lay the form of little
Willie, now suffering such terrible pain from
his burns that he did not notice the entrance
of any one.. The clergyman knet down and
lifted the worn quilt from the face of the little
sufferer, who moved, and recognizing him,
gave long, thankful sigh. '
"My little friend, do you wish to see me ?"
"Yes sir"-and the pale face%was illustra-
ted by bright smile. My Sunday school
teacher told me last Sunday that Jesus came
down to save sinners. o, sir, telf me- is that
true?"
The man of God was startled by the earn
estness of the question, and brushing away
tear, unfolded to him the simple story of the
cross in all its wondrous beauty.
"But," said the little one, edo you think he
came to save me, little boy?"
"Yes, Willie. If you were the only little
boy on earth, Jesus would have left His bright
home on high, and come to earth to save you"
The little face was turned away, and deep
calm took the place of agony. With sigh
of rest, the spirit Of Willie scared to the bosom
of his Jesus.
My dear reader have you no part or lot in
the Saviour that Willie learned to love2
You, unlike him, have heard the wondrous
story from Sunday to Sunday, and yet why is
it you have not found the same peace On
ly because you have not taken Jesus at his
word

The farm1 aud fireside.

AGRICULTURAL DoN'Ts.-Don't sit on the
fence and whittle the hours away while you
are passing through life. Shavings bring but
little profit here, and probably will not be
needed to light the fire where you 60 to.
Don't cavort and turn back summerset
because your industrious chickens scratch up
your squashes. They have as much right to
the bugs as you to the squashes.
Don't leave your gates open and then blame
your pigs for roofing in the garden. They
have perfect right to 60 through where they
can, and to root is their nature.
Don't loaf your time away and expect the
grass to quit growing while you are loatng.
Grass don't like loafers well enough for that.
Don't expect your plants to thrive if you
starve them to death. Plants that are not
fed will not feed you.
Don't starve and rob the land you live on,
for if you do, in the long run, it will show its
appreciation by starving you.
Don't let the storm beat upon your cattle
without roof to shelter them. If you do
they will not furnish you assistance to have a
good tight roof over yourself in your old age.
Don't neglect your barns and build fine
house. Barns build houses but houses never
build barns. ... ........
Don't expect water to run up hill to get out
fyour low lands after you have filled the
bitches with rubbish. Water is lazy and
would rather stay any where than climb a
hill.
WHAT WILL MAKE HENS LAY?-Put two
or more quarts of water in a kettle, and one
large seed pepper or two small ones, then put
the kettle over the fire. When the water
boils, stir in coarse Indian meal until you
have a thick mush. Let it cook an hour or
so. Feed hot. Horse radish chopped fine
and stirred into mush as prepared in the above
directions, and for results we are getting from
five to ten eggs per day ; whereas, previous to
feeding, we had not had eggs for long time.
We hear great deal of complaint from other
people about not getting eggs. To such we
would warmly recommend cooked food, fed
hot Boiled apple skins, seasoned. with red
pepper; or boiled potatoes, seasoned with
horse radish, are good for feed much better
than uncooked food. Corn, when fed to the
hens by itself, has tendency to fatten hens
rather than of producing the more profitable
egg laying. A spoonful of sulphur stirred
with their feed occasionally, will rid them OF
vermin and tone up their systems. 1t is espe'
cially good for young chickens or turkeys.
Out of flock of ten hatched last November,
we have lost but one. They have been fed
cooked feed mostly, and are growing finely

CURING SPAvIN.-I noticed in recent is
sue of a paper, some inquiries in reference to
curing SPAWN in horse. [ have never seen
one cured so that the bunch would be remov-
ed but the lameness can often be permanent
ly cured. Rub the bunch daily with some ir-
ritant like spirits of turpentihe, and half an
hour afterward rub in we'll ordinary mackerel
or beef brine, heating it we'll, after rubbing,
with hot shovel. In week, or as soon as
the part has become sufficiently irritated and
sore, omit all treatment except a daily wash
ing with cold water. In severe cases, this
treatment may need to be repeated after a
weeks rest. The horse should be we'll cared
for, and not worked while being treated.

CARE OF THE HANDs.-One can have the
hands in soap-suds with soft soap without in
Jury to the skin, if the hands are dipped in
vinegar or lemon juice Immediately after.
The acid destroys the corrosive effects of the
alkali and makes the hands soft and white.
Indian meal and vinegar, or lemon,j nice, used
on the hands when roughened by cold or Ia
bor, will heal and soften them. Rub the
hands in this, then wash off thoroughly and
rub in gycerine. Those who suffer from
chapped hands in the winter will find this
comforting.

important at this season of the year that all
foul smells should be destroyed, and that the
air should be kept as pure as possible, the
following is worth knowing:
"One pound of green copperas, costing sew
en- cents, dissolved in one quart of water, is
very efficacious in purifying bad air, and will
efectually concentrate and destroy the foul

trid gasses, dissolve the copperas, as directed,

I'VE MADE NO BARGAIN"

A dispatch to the Democrat, purporting
to be signed by Representative Gibson,
informs this people:
We made no bargain for United States
Senators, and our people are left free to
choose when the proper time comes
For so much ''freedom" the Democrats
in the Legislature owe many thanks to
the kind forbearance of Messrs. Gibson,
Burke, Pinchback and the other high con-
tracing parties who have been disposing
of the interests of this State at the ma
tional capital. 1t might have been differ
emit. The freedom of the people to elect
United States Senator might have
been taken away from them and
let out by contract as the wharves
and markets have been. The right to
freely elect Senator yet remains out of
the wrecks of prerog atives which have
been dashed ashore in the late political
storm. But, unfortunately, the ability is
wanting. For more than fifty days the
moot Legislature at Odd Fellows Hall
has been trying to find out who really is
the peoples choice for the successor of
General West. AS there are some six or
seven statesmen who aspire to the place,
there is great difficulty in this case in ar
irving at the revealed will of sour peo-
ple." Mr.. Gibson rather loosely re-
marks they ''are left free to choose" so
far as he and his colleagues are con-
cerned The high commissioners in
Washington have not bargained that
right away, and the circumstance is
thought of sufficient importance to justify
sending a special dispatch.
1t would be in keeping with the rest of
the tactics of the Democrats in the Forty
fourth Congress to not only prescribe the
exact shade of politics of the new Sena-
toT, but to designate the man as we'll. If
Dudley Field, Poppleton, Holman and
two or three other "friends" of the South
had but said the word, doubtless our
Louisiana Democrats would have gone
down on their knees and bargained away
everything. But as no trade was pro-
posed none was made, and "our people"
still own themselves 80 far as electing
United States Senator is concerned.

A communication, signed Ladies' of
New Orleans, appeared in the Picay,ne
yesterday evening, acknowledging obliga-
tons to the New Orleans REPUBLICAN for
a brief description of the dresses to be
worn in Washington by Mrs. President
Hayes, and concluding with the sentence:
'But as we ladies of New Orleans would
rather wear plain calico. honestly come
by, than silk or velvet obtained through
fraud, the dress and fashion Of Mrs.
Hayes are matters of no interest to us.
This, coming from the "ladies of New
Orlea ms" and appearing in paper SO
well qualified to speak for them, must be
considered now as exceedingly ill-timed.
By the position to which her husband has
been elevated, Mrs. Hayes is "the fore
most lady in the land" She is of the
best of wives and mothers, comely, ac-
compli shed and wealthy. To speak in
womanly way, sit is not nice" that she
should be met at the door of the White
House with the feelings expressed in the
Picdpune letter, and it is particularly I'M
fortunate that while good Bishop Wilmer
is fresh from pilgrimage to the home of
Governor Hayes, making prayers and
tears on behalf of his White League Alb
SALONS; that while Cardinal Burke is in
Washington representing and pleading fer
Soma NJ tho oldact and hast oifi1ans Of
Louisiana; and that while Mr. Nichols is
at Odd Fellows Hall, recognizing Presi-
dent Hayes, and recommending ''the Gull
tivation of good feeling and spirit of
harmony among all classes, it is par
ticularly infelicitous circumstance that
such a communication as that referred to
should appear in journal of the kindly
and charitable Crescent City.

REnKWITH,s REMOVAL.

Th e removal by the President, Friday,
of Hon. J. R. Beckwith from the Office of
United States District Attorney, which he
has held for several years, was received
here with surprise and regret Seldom
have the interests of the government been
entru sted to ADLER or cleaner hands. In
his whole term of Office his integrity has
never been quest oned, and even his po-
litieal enemies have always borne witness
to his ability and just dealing. The iniu-
enees which led to his removal are as noto-
rious as they are disreputable. 1t was
brought about by combination of cot
ton and whisky thieves, acting through
instru ments, some willing and others
suborned, ct the national capital 1t is
noticeable that he was the last that was
left of those who prosecuted the whisky
cases under Secretary Bri stow. An aveng-
ing Nemesis has overtaken them all, one
after the other, and Beckwith was the last
remaining. His removal by the Presi-
dent at almost the last hour of his term,
in the face of the protest of Attorney Cen
eral Taft, Hon. w. Fl. Hunt and other
good men, is much to be regretted. Some
talk is had that the removal was made in
obedience to conservative demands; but
such representations are too absurd to
merit moments attention.

OUR NEW RULER.

According to the dispatch from Senator
Kellogg to Governor Packard, which We
publish this morning, it appears that
President Hayes has reserved the decision
Of the Louisiana question for himself

by him to anticipate or indicate his ae-
tion. In this connection there is a chap
ter of unpublished history, OF least it has
not yet been given to the public, in the
shape Of a report Of the Senate commit
tee. For reasons which are entirely sat
isfactory this report has been postponed
beyond the present session, but win come
in at the extra session, which everybody
expects will be convened some time in
May; or it may be submitted at the exc
