FROM WASHINGTON,

Especial Dispatch TO the Baltimore Stn.l
AN "oUT" FROM FLoRIDA-A MARTYR TO
HIS OWN POLITICAL oBLIQuITY.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The atten-
ton of the President has been called to
the case OF Mr. Humphreys, one of the
republican electors of Florida, Mr..
Humphreys has for ten years been the
agent of the Southern Express Company
at Pensacola, Florida, and has lived in
the State SINCE 1926, over fifty years
When the time came for the meeting of
the electoral college of Florida hs applied
for few days leave of absence to go to
Tallahassee and attend the meeting of
the electoral college. This request. was
refused by the superintendent ofthe COM
pany.. Mr.. Humphreys. however, went
TO Tallahassee and cast his electoral vote
after which he was Immediately suspend
ed from Office. Through the intercession
OF prominent republicans Mr. Plant the
president of the Express Company, who
has his headquarters in New York, or
dered his restoration, and he resumed his
position as agent Within a few days
Mr.. Humphreys received letter from
Mr.. Plant saying that reports had re each.
ed him that he, Mr.. Humphreys, was
very unpopular on account of his being a
republican elector, and that the business
of the Express Company was suffering

would be glad to receive his resignation,
it not being the policy of the company to
keep men in its employ who are not in
political sympathy with people where
the ofhce is located. The resignation
was. rendered. Mr.. Humphreys was at
the beginning of the war an officer of the
regular army, but resigned to enter the
Confederate service, and served through
out the war as Confederate officer. At
the close of the war he accepted the
Reconstruction policy, and identified him
self with the republican party, although
taking no active part in politics. He has
arrived here, and the facts in the case
have been laid before the President by
prominent republicans, who are exerting
themselves to secure him federal ap
Ipointment1in Florida. 1t is very likely
that as reward for his services Mr..
Humphreys will get an Office. He ought
not to feel hurt or surprised that the
lpeople of Florida do not entertain the
same feeling towards him as they did be-
fore he exercised the same functions of
an Office to which he and every one else
knew he had no title.

HOSTILE SIOUX sURRENDFRING

WAsHINoToN, March 26.-Gen. Crook
reports that one hundred and thirty-three
hostile Cheyennes and one hundred and
thirty Sioux surrendered at Red Cloud
Agency, on the 18th and 14th inst, ma
king three hundred and sixty-nine that
have surrendred lat that point since the
last report. Other parties are on their
way in, delayed by snow and mud. The
Cheyennes are in a wretched state of
poverty, and have been living for some
time on horse meat. Colonel Miles re-
ports that twenty-nine Ogallallas and
Cheyennes, including seven chiefs, came
to his camp on Tongue river on February
10, to learn the terms of surrender. They
were informed, and on the 22d started
back, promising, in apparently good
faith, to bring in their people. A dis
patch from Red Cloud Agency, received
this morning, at General Shermans head
quarters, says; "Spotted Tail has been
heard from, and that he was going on to
complete his mission of peace to the hos
tiles. He had been delayed by bad
weather and the poor condition of his
horses"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cows LOaGng.

The following from the pen OF
correspondent of the Ohio Farmer,
certainly has the merit Of originali-
ty, and certainly no one will accuse
its author Of plagiarism: "Does the
dairyman ever suspect that some
COWS are dreadful loafers? Where
thereis a pond Of water to stand in,
if flies happen to be particularly
bad, some COWS will spend most of
their time standing in the water,
when they should be moving the
lawn. Some dairymen think the act
Of standing in water absorbs the
milk from cows. They little sus-
pect it is simply the effect of loafng
away her time, Shade trees are
prolific source of laziness in cows
Many hours are passed in luxuriant
laziness, enjoying the cool shade
when the COW could be much more
profitably employed eating grass for
her masters sake. To be sure COWS
suffer from the heat just as do horses,
oxen, sheep, pigs and all other ami
mails, but after observing t. bow
much greater extent Idle men suffer
with heat more than men who are
hard at work, l am satisfied the COW
that is busy minds the heat less than
the one that is idly endcavoring to
keep cool. l once knew dairyman
to build lane through his apple or
chard to prevent his cows from loaf,
ing under the trees, stating that he
had no objection to their getting the
fallen apples-he preferred they
should, but he said that nothing but
starvation would prevail upon them
to leave the inviting shade. He as.
serted that his COWS had increased a
large percentage in their milk since
they were compelled to go to work
like any other beast. And pray why
should not she too earn her fodder by
the sweat of her nose?"
If the writer had, like the COW
when she stands in the shade, occu-
pied u limited portion of his time in
working his material over again he
would not have advanced such pc
culiar theory; the time required by Il
COW in gathering her food in good
pasture is much less than that re.
quired for its purpose or second mas
tication. The fact that she is not at
work filling her stomach from the
field is no proof that she is "loafng"
If the pasture is what it should be
the COWS can in a few hours, morning
and evening, store up in the first
stomach enough material for double
that time spent in mastication
which can be performed as well in
the shade us anywhere else.

Success.

The successful farmer is he who is
always careful in selecting his seeds;
uses good judgment in breeding
stock; keeps his farm free from
weeds; always has lis fences in good
order and takes good carcof his tools
keeps out of debt and has n content
cd mind; sends his children to school,
and takes one or more good papers
devoted in whole or in part to farm
and stock interests. The larmcrwho
never reads is like the machine that
is never oilcd-it wears. He wears
himself out, cxhausts his land and
dies poor. One good suggestion
found in paper Or book is worth
to men more than half Il life of
trials when not made intelligently
Don't be afraid to read and acknowl-
edge that you can learn from others.
No one knows it all. Somebody
knows something you don't. Let
your aim be to acquire everything
anyone can teach you, and it will be
money in your purse, brains in your
head and influence in your presence.

Kindling wood is always in de.
mand. No one need fear that more
will be prepared than can be con-
spmed in an economical manner,
Hence, cut every old hoop into short
pieces and split up every peice of
worthless board aud pile them up
neatly beneath some shelter. Never
allow old boxes, cid tubs, old barrels
that are ever ready to tumble down,
nor other rubbish to accumulate in
the cellar, attic or barn. Reduce all
such useless articles to kindling
wood, and thus keep the premises
clear of old things that will never
subscryc 4 better purpose than fuel.
Wood cut and split neand properly
dried is often more convenient and
economical in hot weather than coal,
especially when one needs but little
fire.
