One feature of the Russian cavalry,
not generally known, will account for
the great superiority of the artillery
which accompanies them. Every Rus
sian mounted soldier is provided with
a stout ''lariat" or rope, and is trained
to help heavy guns out of trouble. In
the Crimean war, on more than one &C.
casion, the Russians brought 24-pound-
ers into the field in this manner, with
as many as twenty horses hitched in the
teams and Cossacks helping with their
drag ropes. In 1914, when Napoleon
beat the Russians near Paris, in a heavy
rain-storm, General Osten Sacken
saved all his guns in spite Of the fearful
state of the roads, by putting fifty CUR
assiers with their drag ropes to each
gun and caisson. This habit has ac-
customed the Russian cavalry to take
plenty of artillery with them, and ac-
counts for much of their superiority
over the Turks in Asia.

out. This is particularly seer in clus-
tiers Of rocks, which appear to have been
drawn by the hand of the most skillful

Of work reveals to the astonished on
locker that it is neither more or less
than a piece of slate rock, on which
Natures hand alone has developed a
pretty rural scene which would not do
discredit to the brush of Buyelet. The
curiosity was found IN Carshalton reef,
and the rock, on being broken up, split
in such a way as to leave the face on
which the picture is represented, con-
vex. The various shades, tints and

the trickling Of water containing iron

Whipping editors as an inducement
for them to apologize for something
that may have appeared in their news
papers is not the amusing thing it may
have been in former years, although
we do not know that there was ever very
much fun in it. The Peoria Democrat
offended the supervisor Of Kickapoo
township, and the supervisor called to
get satisfaction. AS soon as the editor
had waited long enough to ascertain
that his visitor did not come for the
purpose of trading half.a bushel of pota-
toes or a sack Of corn meal for a years
subscription, hostilities were begun.
While the supervisor was turning up
his coat sleeves the editor hurled three
horse power inkstand at him, missing
the aim, but instantaneously executing
a most beautiful war map on the sane
tum wal, which the editor will server pto
his readers next week with copious
foot notes. The supervisor had a pis-
toll, but he did not get it out of his
pocket before he discovered that the
editor was armed. The man who went
to get satisfaction at this point left the
office without finishing his business, and
rolled down stairs, and hid himself be-
hind n carriage in front Of an adjoining
building. 1t seems unnecessary to say
that the reason the supervisor of Kicka-
poo township wanted to whip the edi-
tor of the Peoria Democrat was be-
cause the latter in an unguarded mo-
ment, had permitted a war map to be
printed in his paper, to which the for
mer was q subscriber.

pretty and cleverly executed landscape
painted, some six inches square. The

the centre of which are two small ponds,
out of one of which the water flows in
a small stream toward a path Of rocks.
"A little distance beyond the ponds is a

What q Woman DID.

Jennie June writes in a recent letter
to the Baltimore American: Another
story is so strange that it will hardly be
believed to be true, and yet it is most
painfully so in every detail. A short
time ago a man applied to n who had
been an old friend to indorse a note,
which he offered, with some trepidation
but which bore every evidence of being
genuine. The friend was glad to re-
vive old associations, and as the note
was not for a large amount willingly
put his name to it. The individual
was profuse in his acknowledgements,
and incidentally mentioned his wife's
name. "Your wife" repeated the in
dorser, "why 1 thought your wife's
name was -. You know L was
acquainted with her before you WERE"
ooh, yes" said the other, with a very
red face, 'that was my first wife; did
you not know that she was dead, and
that 1 had married AGAIN." No, he
did not know it, and was very sorry to
hear Of the loss, for that first wife had
been a very sweet little girl, and an old
schoolmate and flame Of his own. In
due time the note came to maturity,
was returned to him to his surprise and
annoyance, and he was obliged to pay
it. Being in the neighborhood Of Har-
lem, where the man whom he had for
merly known had formerly lived and
owned alittleh house, he concluded to call,
and to his blank astonishmnnt the first
wife, his former schoolmate, opened
the door. He almost tainted; he told
the tale that had been invented by her
husband, and asked her what it meant.
Then she sadly told him an unhappy
story. How her husband had made the
the acquaintance of a young girl; had
continued it, giving her the impression
that he was an unmarried man; how he
had promised to marry her, and, being
unable to do so, had been threatened
with State Prison by her enraged re-
latives.
How to saw him from Imprisonment
and utter loss Of character, she had
permitted him to obtain a divorce, en-
tering no plea, suffering all that mis-
representation and SANDER could heap
upon her, and finally choosing to be
dead to the world altogether in her own
proper person, and only live under an
other name, and in order to support
her three children.
One thing her husband did-he left
her in possession Of what had been their
little home, and for the rest she sews,
she writes, she teaches music, she keeps
books for a woman who keeps a ladies'
furnishing store, and thus supports her
self and children; while her husband is
boarding in a semi-fashionable boarding
house in town with his second wife, who
knew all the facts, and still married
him. "But he still remembers u.s."
she said with a smile and q tear. "He
never fails to send a box of presents to
the children at Christmas, and my
birthday is never forgotten" The old
friend is a widower without 'tencum-
brances," and possibly this may prove
a modern version Of the Enoch Arden
story.

The Greet Compromise.

The controversy over the Presiden-
tial question is to be settled at last
by compromise. Senator Edmonds,
from the joint electoral committee OF
Congress, has introduced bill pro-
yiding for the submission of all dis
puted questions relative to counting
the votes to q commission to be COM
posed of FIVE Senators, FIVE Repre-
sentatives and FIVE Justices Of the u.
S. Supreme Court. The strong par
tizan leaders of the country are di-
vided in opinion regarding the plan,
but there is a large element in both
parties which will sanction the move
ment, and it is thought the bill will
pass. OF the Pacific Coast Senators,
Mitchell said he was opposed to the
bill for various reasons, and should op-
pose it, even If it related to future elec-
tons. He did not think the supreme
court should have anything to do With
political matters. He was opposed to
the establishment Of any tribunal to
determine questions concerning the
count Of thu electoral votes outside of
Congress itself, and did not believe
this sort Of plan necessary tn avert war.
The Republican party could safely
stand upon the truth that Hayes and
Wheeler are legally and fairly elected.
They are, said Mitchell, just ~ much
elected ~ they will be in case this tri-
buual shall declare them elected; and no
declsration to the contrary can change
the legal result already effected. He
regarded the whole scheme % an inde-
fsnsible concession to the Democrats.
Kelly says be believed the joint CON-
mistee plan provided just and equita-
blc mode Of settling the controversy.
There must be some concession Ola both
sides, and this plan gave no advantage
70 either party. He thought any good
cause could safely be committed TO such
. tribunal, and he was perfectly willing
TO leave I'll controvcrted questions in i,s
hands.
Booth expressed himself emphatic

bill. Sargent said hs was unequivoc-

How to make Money on the Farm.


Crock Rapids" writing to the VIII.
annette Farmer, offers few timely sug-
gestions as follows:
Now, may not see well, but it seems
to me that, shrewdly managed, there
is money in almost anything grown on
the farm. But, slovenly managed, there
is no money in what the farmer grows,
not even wheat. It seems to me that
little good management, mingled with
a right smart chance of common sense,
in running our farms, wouldn't be bit
out of the way.
do not discourage the growing Of
wheat, nor barley, nor rye. nor oats,
nor even corn. No, but say, raise all
these, even if you do make speciality
of wheat, for there is money in them
all. Farming, properly, is diversi6-
ed business, and requires brains, just
like any other profession. 1t requires
heap of sense to be frst-rate farmer;
and-l mean NO harm by telling the
truth-it ia because "some folks" have
small brains, and, per consequence,
haven't heap of sense, that they fail
in the noble business of farming.
Now, farmers do, but they need not,
wesr out their lands growing wheat
Will you deny this? 1 will prove it.
Here: You plow deeply in spring, and
let the land lay in farrow: don't harrow
it; let it be as the plow left it; plow only
once. All summer keep hogs, goats,
sheep, turkeys, chickens, borses, cows,
running on it, to eat out, and destroy
grasses, weeds, worms, insects, &C., and
deposit on the land their urine and ma
nure. In the fall, don't brsak up your
held again with plow, but use eulti-
vator to put in your wheat, and harrow
well, ard run burrows in the low places
to drain off the surplus rain in winter.
"Why wouldn't you plow your land in
the fall?" For these clear reasons: First,
the wheat is shallow rooter; ita f.
brous roots run near the surface.
Second, the land under the roots
should be firm, to give strong base for
them-the central -roote-to sus-
tain the stalks. Thirdly, the manure
must be on the surface, 90 the rain can
wash it directly to the roots, charged
with carbolic acid.
Now, in conclusion. think. to mako
money, the farmer should raise como
big. but good, horses, some goats, az
sheep, raise some hogs, chickens, ducks,
turkeys and good cows. Have . good
garden, aud all the fruits be can. And
also grains. There 10 money in I'll Of
