Points of Clydesdale Horses.-Dick.

AOlhto VI OltuOSuulC ltUl = blCh-
son in the Western Stock Journal says of
the Clydesdale horses: "They are dis
tinguished by the color, which is mostly
gray or brown; neck longer than the
Suffolk kind; head better formed; eyes
more spritely and animated; body lighter
and better formed; legs clean and
sinewy; step firm but nimble; sizes
larger, from fifteen to sixteen and a half
hands high" This is a strong, hardy
and active sort of horse, which is said to
have been produced by crossing Scotch
mares with Flanders stations. These
horses are remarkably true in daught.
They are predominant in the districts
which bear the same name in Scotland,
Cuts given of the "the old cart horse"
and the "improved black cart horse"
of the early part of the century, show
them to have had white faces; that is
a broad stripe extending from between
the ears down to and over the nose. The
improved horse also had four white legs
extending nearly to the hooks and knees,
but being otherwise black. Clydesdales
| going back to this strain would be likely
to retain these characteristics. Now
they are of various c%olors, including
sorrel and black, and it is not unusual
for them to have white markings on the
face and legs.

TOPICS FOR THE FARM.
Culture of the Gala Lily.-A

Culture of the Gala Lily.-A lady
says: 81 keep my lilies growing all
summer, set out on the ground near my
dining-room door, in some shady place,
because l think them such fine plants
to look at. l have not repotted mine
in five years, but every spring and
autumn 1 dig out some soil and put in
new, mostly the black, soft, velvety
muck that abounds in our swamps. 1
let from one to six bulbs live in the same
pot; l used to think that only one bulb
of my Gala or amaryllis must occupy a
pot. From each bulb l have four flow
ers each season; and treated intuis way,
my Gala blossoms ten months in the
year, or from September to July inclu-
sive. When / repot my amaryllis l
often lose a seasons towering; n that
l disturbed last summer missed its
autumn Towering, and the others, not
disturbed, gave four stalks of gorgeous
lily-like flowers"

The Grover Investigation.

We have purposely refrained from express
sing any opinion on the merits or dement's
of the case brought before the commission
sent out from Washington for the purpose OF
investigating the frauds alleged to have been
perpetrated IN the election of Senator Grover,
until all the evidence had been adduced on
both sides of the case.
Now, however, that the commission has
concluded It's iabOrs, and the evidence has
been published, we arc free to say that no
man ever underwent such an ordeal and
achieved a greater triumph than the dlstIn-
guished Senator against whom the Impeach-
ment was organized. Senator Grover was
not only proved guiltlesS of any attempt at
bribery, but the very men upon whose testl-
mOny it was hoped TO convict hlm, were
proved to be pack Of whOrthless tools ready
to trump up any charge III the hope that they
could make money out OF their perjury.
Outside of Highly, Styles, and q few other
political parasites there were not dozen
men in Oregon who actually believed that
any illegal means were used by Senator
Grover to secure his election. The whole
charge was trumped up by triumvirate OF
tools whose nefari0ns scheme resulted III
covering them with deserved ignOmlny,
whilst the character of Senator Grover was
purified by the ordeal Partisan revenge
seemed to be the smpulse that originated the
commission, and, IN many instances, the
commissioners themselves seemed to be I'M
bued with the idea that they were prose-
cutting the opposite party rather than Inves-
tigating q ease of attempted bribery. In
many cases, too, the witnesses gave their
evidence with the view of damaging the op-
position party, and reminding one of the
eolored brothers saying ''Sambo, | sup
pose YOU are republican y '0h Yes,
massa-I'se a good republican, Why,
did You go and vote the democratic ticket
then, Sambog" Instantly Sambo replied !:
~ You know dat de dog has TO wag his tail
to de one dat gibs him de bOne." Like
Sambo's vote, some of the swearing during
the Grover investigation was done in the IN
huence of the party who threw the bone to
the hungry partisan, but nevertheless, Sena-
tor Grover viii return 70 Washington with
the public assurance that not many Of his
associates could go through a similar ordeal
and come off so NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sen

A Husbands Love,

The deadliest foe TO love is not change
or misfortune, nor jealousy, nor anything
that flows from passion, or emanates from
fortune-the deadhest fee to it is custom.
Some women appreciate this warning,
and never suffer the enemy to gain foot
hold 1t is nothing more than careless
ness, apathy and Indifference Other
women marry, accept q home and settle
down as mere hxtures-pieces of furni-
ture, automaton-with the idea that pos
session alone is sufficient to chain love to
its rightful sphere. Mistaken fancy A
husband seeks to be entertained fully as
well as when he was lover he is equally
worthy of it. By overlooking this fact
wife may cast from her pearl of price
less value. To retain love you must fas-
einate it, never suffer one vulnerable
point to escape it. A flower may be ad-
mired for time, but it is easily super
ceded or forgotten. 1t bas not the subtle
soul of charm with which to stir the
chords of the heart, to enchant the ear
with sweet melody. 1t pleases the sense
alone, it does not reach the spiritual es-
sence. If men Go not find companionship
at home they viii seek it elsewhere. The
presence Of the domestic hearthstone
must not allow one link OF the golden fet:
tiers wound about his heart TO break Ap-
pearances are by no means to be sllghted,
There is much in the wearing of fayorite
colors, in taking advantage of women's
special privilege, which is to look as cap
tivating as possible but there is more in
the cunning diplomacy of her chief aid,
weapon and defence tongue-if its
power is used with discretion
The fascination of intellect is more po-
tent than that of beauty-it Is long-hved-
When man seeks companionship abroad,
the chief tenure that bound him is snapS
ped-you have deprecated in his eyes, al
though he may at first be 10th to own 1t
to himself He may find that in compan-
ionship, ugly contrasts come stealing into
his mind, and by-and-by the early love
regrets her marriage and shudders to ind
herself deserted wife, What il tempta-
ton stands at the door then, fiinging tiow7
ers at her feet, whose fatal perfume be-
wilders the soul and intoxicates the dis
cerning sense of virtuel Alas, it Is too
often the store of ruin, reimbursement,
disgrace, and a broken heart, for which
there is no relief but death. She regrets
too late, and realizes that it was her own
hand that cast away the jewel without
which 10 life is perfect-lOye.-West

DRIFTED APART.

Lost. and | know not where thOu art!
| know we change in mind and heart,
And dearest friends viii drift apart
Upon Times treacherous tide;
And vet dreamed that thou and /
On waters calm, meath cloudless sky,
Might onward fOat-forever nigh
Across life's ocean wide.
And still | mourn the luckless day
l marked thee slowly glide away;
My heart IN piteous tones cried, " Stay,
And leave me not alone -
No answering word or look from thee
Came through the distance back to me;
Only the waves of Lies deep sea
Made melancholy moan.
No parting word. no farewell kiss;
Only vanished dream of bliss,
a void that aches for what we miss
From out the life and heart;
To weary of the worlds dull ways,
To scorn alike its blame aud praise,
And weep for joys of bygone days
All, me, to drift apart
I loved theel / who love so few;
| trusted thee and loved thee too;
They always trust whose hearts are true,
Nor fear tine change of years
Some hearts are made to love In VAN,
Some brows to ever ache with pain,
Some lips TO sing sad refrain,
Some eyes are made for tears
quit the busy haunts of men,
And seek sweet solitude again,
With friendly book and faithful pen
These are not lost to me;
But, Love, know not where thou art .
We change in mind and change IN heart,
And this Is why we drift apart
Upon Times storm tossed sea

A CASE FOR Mr. EvARTs. There is
considerable speculation as to what course
Mr.. Evarts will persue in reference to the
young man Largo Messina, an adopted
citizen of Italian birth, who, on revisiting
his native land short time ago was seiz-
ed and thurst into the army. He came
70 this country when he was only two
wears of age, was naturalized when he at
tanned his majority, and considers that,
as he has renounced the government Of
Victor Emanuel in swearing allegiance to
the United States, he is entitled to Amer
lean protection 1t seems that we have
no treaty ON the subject OF naturalization
With Italy, and if demand Is made Tor
the delivery of Messins, it must be on the
ground maintained by our government,
recognizing the right of sef-expatriatiOn-
Should Italy resist the demand, a question
will be involved of interest to many other
persons.

Put LIFE INTo YoUR WORK A
Young mans interest and duty both die
tate that he should make himself IndIs-
pensable to his employers. He should
be so industrious, prompt and careful that
the accident of his temporary absence
should be noticed by his being missed. A
Young man should make his employer his
friend, by doing faithfully and mlnutely
all that IS entrusted to him. 1t Is great
mistake to be overnice or fastidious about
work. Pitch IN readily, and your willing
ness viii be appreciated, while the thigh
toned" man quibbles abolE what 1t Is and
what it is not his place to do, viii get the
cold shoulder, There is a story that
George Washington once helped roll
log that one Of his corporals would not
handle, and the Great Emperor of Bus
sia worked as shipwright in England
to learn the business That's just what
Won want to do. Be energetic, look and
act with alacrity, take an interest IN your
EMPLOYERS success, work as though the
business was your own, and let your en-
ployer know that he may place absolute
reliance in your word and on your act
Be mindful have your mind on your
business, because it is that which IS going
to help you, not those outside attractions
which some Of the ''boys" are thinking
about. Take pleasure in work k do not
90 about it in a hsfess, formal manner,
bnt with alacrity and cheerfplness, and
remember that while working thus for
others, you are laying the foundation OF
your own success In lie.

fondling the keepers eat in business hours,
and paid him at the rate of $50 a month, IN
stead of $40, as previously agreed. The
waiter carried his case into a Justices court,
pleading that he was not particularly fond OF

A Singular Charity,

1t may be thought singular purpose
OF charity to provide for the marriage Of
poor maids, and one that would accom-
plish but little in a field where the objects
would be so numerous; nevertheless, the
benevolent designs of men have been
turned in that channel, as well as In 9th
er various directions mentioned In the
statute. By the viii of Henry Raine, 2
wealthy London brewer, a fund was es-
tabIished for just such purpose.
Among the notable charitable nstItu--
tions of London there Is none more novel
in inception, OF more unique III manage
ment, than Raine's Asylum, established
by him, in 1886, for clothing, educating
and properly training for domestic SER
vice forty young girls, taken from lower
school previously established by him. On
arriving at the age of twenty-five, any
oirl who has been educated at the asylum,
and who can produce satisfactory testl-
monials of her conduct while In service,
NAV become a candidate for marriage
norton of f100, for which six girls are
allowed to draw twice In each year-on
the first of May and the fifth of Novem-
Der.
The drawing is i'll this manner: The
Treasurer, III compliance with the exphc-
If directions of Mr. Raine, takes half
sheet os white paper and writes thereon
Gone hundred pounds. Next, he takes
as many blank sheets as, with the ono
written on, viii correspond with the num-
her of candidates present. Each ef these
half-sheets is wrapped tightly round
little roller of wood, tied with narrow
Green ribbon, the knot of which is firmly
sealed. The rolls are then firmly depos-
tied in a large canister placed upon
small table in the center of the room.
This being done, the candidates, one
at time, advance towards the cannister,
each drawing therefrom one OF the rolls
When az have drawn, they proceed 10

which secures each roll, and bids the can
