WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-There Is no
reason to be alarme ed over the Florida

the Joint session tomorrow and count
the votes Of Florida, Georgia, Indiana,

Objections will then be made, and the

have been at some pains to ascertain
whether the rule excluding extraneous
evidence in the Florida case Is regarded
by majority of the Tribunal as u
general rule to govern oil cases that
may come before 1t. The result of
these inquiries Is that Judges Clifford,
Field and Miller certainly do not SO re-
regard it, and that Senators Thurman
and Bayard, and possibly Frelinghuy-
sen, with Representatives Payne, Hun
ton, Abbott and probably Hoar concur
with them,
The position of these commissioners,
who constitute u clear majority In the
Tribunal, Is MS follows: As near rs | can
ascertain, they hold that the Tribunal,
being made by law the judge OF its own
jurisdiction. must consider each case
upon It's own individual merits, and
each method of proc edure in accord
ance with its own particular exigency.
La fact. 50 faras Louisiana is concerned.
there is no case made up beyond the two
sets of naked certificates, unlses the Tri-
bunal decide to take extraneous testi-
mony. The members Of the Tribunal
fully understand that IL they exclude
testimony in the Louisiana case. as they
did in that Of Florida. in the face or all
that has been developed concerning the
crimes Of the Returning Board, they
make their entire action q farce In the
eyes of the country. This is the view
taken of the matter by all OF the Dem
oorats on the Tribun al. and the Repub-
licans mentioned above have substan-
TALLY expressed the same view in con-
versation.
The final decision OF the whole presi-
Dental question really depends on the
ruling OF the Tribunal as TO the admis-
sion Of testimony in the Louisiana case.
It Is safe to say that no evidence will be
admitted In any event beyond the re-
ports and acco mpanying papers OF the
House and Senate Committees that
have been investigating Louisiana. Ii
these are admitted, then the case will
resume it's partisan aspect, aud Bradley
votes as partisan to sustain the action
OF the Returning Board, Hayes will be
counted in. That is about all there Is
of the Louisiana case at this writing.

Hour to GET Ricb

This Is an important and interesting
subject for farmers as well as all other
men, and as the making money by all
honorable means IS commendable, we
give the following practical suggestions
from a Michigan farmer in one of our
exchanges:
Being asked what the farmers of Mich
igan most needed to increase the value
of their lands, crops and herds. "they
want, said he, "just what the mer-
chants, the manufacturers an the me-
chanics want, Just what the railroad men.
the lumber men, and the mining men
want, they want labor, capital and brains.
There is not farmer in the state but
will stand an application of this trio
work, money and thought" We asked
him again, what simple and easy meth
DDS he would recommend to the farmers
from which they could get the quickest
returns, and he replied % First | would
recommend that every cow in the state
be crossed by a thoroughbred bull. I
calculate that would add 81 100000 10
the wealth Of the state in two wears. and
that 1t would double NA---.--h-----s-
cattle of the state in four years. Second,
/ would cross every breeding eve in the
state with a thorough bred ram of az
proved pedigree, AMI I calculate that it
would add one pound of wool to every
shearing in two years, besides improving
the focks in many respects. You can
calculate the gain yourself. Third, l
would have every farmer select his seeds
of every grain, especially of wheat and
corn-that is, 10 pick out the best and
discard the inferior. The profit would
be immense, for there is no telling how
much can be gained by the selection of
seeds" Now, here are THEE things
within the reach of almost every farmer.
They require little money, some work
and good deal of nerve and will power
Was the old man right ? Let every
farmer adopt these Precepts and thel
contradict them-if he can.

coon MINNERS

The essence of good manners is kind
thoughtfulness of others. The man who
goes to his room in a hotel stamping and
talking through the corridor, slamming
his door, and finging his boots down
heavily upon the floor is merely brutally
duties to other people who will be affec-
ted by his conduct. He does not think
that he rudely awakens some one to whom
sleep is Indispensable, and whom he has
no right to disturb. Haydon's picture
of the man in the chop-house waiting for
the Times, which his neighbor has held
for an hour, and is evidently bent upon
holding until he has read all the adver-
tisements, is an illustration of this com
men selfshness. The talk and conduct
in the cars are generally signs of vanity
or 4 morbid selfconsciousness. A we'll
bred man keeps his toothaches and head
aches to himself, and does not assume
that strangers are interested in his diges-
ton. \ wellbred woman keeps her
children quiet, and does not assume that
all her fellow-travelers must share her
fondness for them. Il Mrs. P, with her
'ISiyid sense of Mr.. P.'s peculiarities and
Zinc house aud equipage, could
Nonly once know how supremely unim-
portant any individual is, how well the
world Jared before Mr. p. arrived, and
how shocked the universe will be by his
departure, she would be a modest and
well-mannered woman. That knowledge.
indeed. would be a general corrective Of
manners. \ certain kind of personal
conceit often accompanies undeuiable
superiority. There are men, like Lord
Chatham, who liketo have their goingand
coming regarded as events, to move with
a pompous hustle, and to be constantly
recognized as great men But if they
could only know it, that very taste is
constantly accounted to them for weak
ness and theiranfuence Is Just 50 far
Iessened.

Many intelligent men have concluded
that Brigham was honest in his religious
professions I can not agree with them
I might reject all other evidence of his
hypocrisy but can not reject his own.
Again and again he has virtually adj
mitted that his religion was a mere CON
vtnience. To Il young Mormon friend
of the writer, whom he was urging to
return to the fold, Brigham said ct
makes no difference whether you believe
in ii or not; we need you; Just come
along and be baptised and pay up aiittle
Of your tithing, and it viii be all right
To another he said Its no concern
what you believe; I've got as good right
TO start a religion as Christ or Moham-
med, or any other man." And yet
again, when speaking of the vote of each
semi-annual conference indorsing him as
a prophet he said Il am neither a
prophet nor the son Of a prophet, but
have been profitable to this people. -
Since then the Gentiles have usually
designated him, The Profit" There was
a time, I think, when he believed his
religion and worked hard for it; but rs

on his interest, with a happy power, of

an immense physical potency, with little
mercy or conscience to temper it-such,

We want to I'LL to eSowing the horn

eyils-old habits and methods hang t.
and weigh us down like the old man of
the sea. Our individual expense and
extravaganza are too great, and our in
dustrv and enterprise too limited The
reduction OF expenses and increase of
production to the greatest attainabIe
point should be the highest endeavor of
everyone until riches abound and pros
perity is restored. Let every one re-
solve to see Tor the next five years how
little lie can live on, and how much he
can make, and how much during that
time he can add to the growth and value
of his stock and the fertility and improve

such habits and methods as will irresist-
ably bear it on to future greatness and
prosperity. We need more science and
greater skill in our farming interests. In
every county there ought to be an agri-
cultural school where literature and

labor. We propose that the oranges of
every county lease a plantation and es-

buildings erected, so as to give the ex-

agricultural implements should be used.
The pupils should be subjected to the
most rigid discipline and the most tenn

should be bought for the farm--all should
be produced thereon. The greatest in

No boy under twelve years of age should

educated farmers. Our maxim should

More wild bears than have ever been
known since the swamp has been settled
by white men are reported to inhabit
the bottoms of the Mississippi valley
this wear. These carnivorous planti-
grades are particularly fond of succulent
food, and the jHicy corn az it ripens in
the fields is an especial object of affection.
So strong is bruins appetite for it that
the planters of Coahoma and Tunica
counties, Mississippi, have recently been
compelled to place guards around
their cornfelds to protect them from de-
struction. A medium sized-bear, with
an ordinary appetite, has been known to
cut down and destroy two acres of grow
ing corn in a single night. They go on
their foraging expeditions in the night
time, and entering a cornfeld they squat
on their launches, shuck an ear of corn
and proceed to masticate it with an APP
parent relish equal to their bipedal
enemies. When their appetite issatiated
they cut off cornstalks below the ear by
the armfull, and, walking erect: carry
their booty through the fields over fences
and into the dark recesses of the swamps
and cane brakes to their hiding places,
where they may lie and MUNICH sweet
corn all day. When night comes on
again the foray is repeated. A fine
chance is offered sportsmen in the thinly
settled portion of the Mississippi valley
south of here this year. A dozen or
more fine fields for the hunter, all to be
found from thirty to hundred miles
below this city.-Memphis avalanche.

Bridging the Rosnhorns.

Capt James r. ESds, the welIknown
engineer of the iTOn~bridge at st. Louis
who has long been connected with the
ietties at the delta of the Missis,inni
river, has recently prepared plans for
bridging the BOsphOrus, thus conneetino
Pera with the Asiatic shore. Capt Fads
was assisted in his calculations and snr-
vevs by A. .. Lambert, civil engineer
The bridge will be 5000 feet long and
100 feet wide. 1t will have fifteen snans
and will be almost entirely built of iron
The height of the roadway above the s1Ir-
face of the water will be one hundred and
twenty feet, sixty feet less than the Gle
walton of the Brooklyn bridge The cen
ter arch will be a span of 75) feet, one of
the longest spans ever contemplated.
The central piers or main portion of the
structure viii be fifty feet thick, built of
solid granite blocks fastened togetheA by
iron braces. The main piers aEa.t -
27O feet high from foundation - =.
The cost Of the entire structure isysti
mated at between $4,000, 900 and S25,
00O, 600, and six years Is given as tn
time to complete it. Excellent grant
is near at hand, and as the iron work vii
probably be prepared in France and Bel

thought that cheap labor can be EN-
pIoyed. The increase IN the value 0
property that will necessarily follow tn
completion of the work, it IS believed
will amply repay the cost OF the project

STAGE SECRETS.

1t may not be generally known that
the real name of John T. Raymond
Colonel Sellers is John O'Brine
Lawrence Barrett was originally Larry
Brannigan; Barney Williams was Barney
FIaherty; George Clark Is Peter O'Niel ;
Harry Montague is Henry J. Mann
and w. J. Florence originally possessed
an Enthusiastically Hiberian though hardly
musical name. Among actresses this
change of names is yet common. Hav-
ing selected one that suits, it is generally
retained by the bearer until the close o.
her stage career even though marriage
NAV give her the right to use another
and better one.
Most OF the prominent ladies upon the
stage are married Charlotte Thomp
son is Mrs. Lorraine Rogers Adelaide
Nelson is Mrs Leigh, Marie Gordon i
Mrs. John T. Raymond Maria Brabrool
is Mrs. George Rignold; Clara Morris j
Mrs. Harriott; Kate Claxton is Mrs
Dore Lyon; Rose Eytinge is Mr. Georg,
/ H. Butler, and Efie Germon is Mrs
Nelse Seymour. The list might be in
definitely prolonged.
There is a certain policy in thus pre-
serving the name under which success
was first achieved. Every business MAJ
understands the worth of an old firm
name, and, besides. an actress would los
something of the romance which hang
about her if it were generally known tina
she was the mother of family, for who's
support she was working. Actors ant
managers both understand this, and tn
latter are as averse to any change o
