THE PRESIDENTS DUTY TO SUPPRESS DoMEs-
TIC vIoLENcE-M con-
REcrED.
The reason and method OF tho Presidents ADJUST
men OF the dispute between the two claimants for the
Governorshp Of Louisiana would DO better understood
vol popular II people generally aware
OF the fact that, In 0e event OF domestic trouble in
any Of the States OF the Union tho Presidents chan
mol Of communication with the State Is through It's
Legislature not through It's Governor. Yet nino
people In ten believe that the President must treat
with the Governor first. For this reason Il has been
thought that President Hayes disregard OF Mr. Pack
ARDS call Tor help to suppress the Nichols movement
was Unfair not contempt OF tho duty imposed upon
him by law Now It is provided by section 6. 90. OF
tho Revised Statutes that
In case Of an nsurrcction In any state against tho
government thereof II snail DO lawful for tho Prcs-
dent, application OF tho Legislature OF such State
OF the Executive, when tho Legislature cannot DO
convened, to call forth tho militia or 10 employ the
army or navy 10 suppress such instruction.
Taken connection with the report OF the Louisiana
Commission, given to the public this morning, this
provision OF law explains the Presidents object in
seeking TO get consolidated Legislature OF undoubted
Legality. With such body oncc constituted and in
operation he brought the State into direct and regular
communication with tho national government and
upon its request TO suppress Packard or Nichols he
would have had TO the troops against the

ssMACBETH AT THE EAGLE THEATRE.
Mim Bessie Darling, young lady Who three years
ago msds her thoatrical debut IN play entitled my
Fxce i1ky Fortune, and VINO since then aspirod
to higher walks Of the drama, appeared last
night, for the first time, rs Lady Mac
beth Tho Eagle Theatre was filled, and the
audience rewarded endoavors please by frequent
and hearty applause. Any ono who expected stage
those who came to scott remained to cheer.
For the first performance Of the most din
cult OF female trhgic roles IL was remarka-
ably good. Judged by absolute standard Il was
insufficient Miss Darling's faults were not many or
great and she failed only In this, that she did not
to the height Of and poetry upon which
Lady Macbeth trcads But she was intelligent ant
mated earnest, aud had clearly given careful
study TO the character. Her reading was uneven.
Its principal error was the undue and excessive en-
phasis single words which shut OF sentence
like bombshels from gun. This fault be removed
by further practice In the delivery OF verso.
The letter Of Macbeth hnoy read, and the
murder scene powerfully rendered. In the third act
she not successful, but In tho sleep walking
scene Miss Darling displayed much pathos aud
called by her auditors That she has the qualities
needed TO make great Lady Macbeth Is doubtful but
the persOnation which In several respects do
served the admiration Il received.
Macbeth was played by Mr. Louis AldrIch In a manly
ana honest STYLE and like tho performance OF Lady
Macbeth, its chief defect was not IN any wrong
conception OF the character, but In the made
quacy Of It's expression. The soliloquies were
admirably read, and the banquet scenc was q
splendid outburst OF terror and rcinorse when Ram
quo's ghost appears at the table, Tho tragedy alto
gether was well put upon tho stage and exccently
acted by tho whole company. The MacduT OF Mr.
Leake, tho BanQuo OF Mr.. Fuller and the Malcolm Of
Mr.. Haworth wcro especially notable.

How THE OLD WOMAN SETTLED IT.
A bashful young man of EIko, Neva-
ia, was calling on his adored one the
other night, and all was going as love
ly IS his heart could desire, when INTO
the parlor s,alksd the father Of the
Young lady, AID thus pronounced the
young mans doom: Young man. look
here get out Of my house. My dsugh-
ter is engaged to an estimable young
man, aud l dout " It you or any 9TH
er young man 20 come bulldozing around
her any more. You see that door !.
Git - The bashful fellow stopped not
to interview the angry father, but went
at once He reached the gate and
turned to cast one longing, lingering
look behind, when his eyes beheld the
mother IF the young lady coming to-
wards the gate. and thus she spoke
hope to tbs young mans soul: Now,
look here. Charley, you are nice
young man, ard yen ere welcome to
call at our house IS often as you like.
Don't pay any attention to what that
old fool says I'll teach him q lesson
in bulldozing that he wont forget, tell
you" Aud back to the house she went,
and soon there arose the sound Of tu-
multi and bulldozing. The young man.
thinking discretion the better part Of
valor. will let the old folks settle it
among themselves.

Possibilities of an q

Possibilities of an acre: No
man knows what these are. We
know that two hundred bushels of
corn were once grown on an acre,
and that five bales of cotton have
been made on the same acre of soil,
but we do not know that the limit
of production were reached in Ell
ther case. We should try to find
out, not merely how much Of any
given crop can be produced on one
acre of land but how cheaply it can
be grown. A big crop may not in
all cases be a profitable one. 1t
may cost too much to make it. The
greatest yield with the smallest out
lay of capital and labor is what we
aim at. Our farmers are often too
poor, not so much because their
crops are small-and small they are
compared with what they might be
as because it costs too much to
make them. We must learn to
make large crops with less labor.
To do this we must go over less
ground, and make science and prac-
tical skill properly supplement mus
Gle and machinery.

There are various reasons why
COWS should be MIXED clean. One
is, that if the milking is always
well done, much larger quantity
of milk will be obtained than if
this work is sighted. Another is,
that clean milking tends to prevent
some of the diseases of cows which
are not properly milked. Still an
other and very important one too,
is found in the fact that the
milk which is drawn last is
much more valuable than that
which is taken first. One man who
has made experiments in this line
reports that from the milk obtained
at the commencement of milking he
obtained 81 per Ger cent, of cream,
while that which was drawn last
gave 80 per cent. Now, if the milk
which was drawn last is worth three
times as much as that drawn first,
it is quite an object to milk as clean
as possible.
When there is gain in quality
as wellssas quantity, it would seem
that all owners of COWS would take
pains to milk the last spoonful. 1t
will make quite difference in the
income from dozen cows whether
they are MIXED clean or not. And
at present prices there is no danger
that the dairymen will become rich
too fast.
