HAYES AND

An absurd story has been started in
Washington, and sent all over the cou.-
try. TO the effect that President Hayes
frs, official act will be the recognition Of
Nichols. the Democratic claimant, M
Governor Of Louisiana. by whom this
un vas originated We do not know.
But q thing Is clear ; II Nichols WIS
elected Governor Of Louisiana. then
Samuel j. Tildsn Was entitled 10 the
eight electoral votes Of that Stats ; and
II President Hayes recognizes the Mich
oils government. he will virtually tell
the world that. In his opinion ct least.
he holds his own Office by fraud. Pres.
ilsnt Hayes il not a fool.-and not being
u fool he will do nothing Of the kind.

LATIN dictionaries and Murray's gram
mars were offered to the city fathers Of
Baltimore ON Tuesday evening last. bul
they would not have them. During the
discussion Of tho ''insans ordinance
one member objected to the word
quota in reference to the number Of
city patients authorized by law. lie
said the word quota was q plural. as
for instance. a quota OF States. but that
the proper expression in this case would
BE- '~'quotum." The author Of the or.
dinancs replied that he was educated at
Georgetown College, n Of the best
classical schools in the country. and they
Taught him there to say quota" An.
other member insisted that quote" was
the right word in the right place. ''Quo-
tum'' finally went into the act. Then
came the Inflated resolution authorizing
the clerk to provide each member with n
Latin dictionary and an English gram
mar. which was considered quite a re-
spectacle joke on the classical old alder.

(2) "because there is need Of reaction

Getting Ready for Winter.

1T seems almost supert1u0uS to urge
upon 0ur farmers the Importance of max
ing preparations for winter before cold
weather overtakes them. But there are
always a few farmers who labor under
the impression that it takes less time to
DO thing if it is left till one is compelled
to do it, whereas it Invariably takes more.
Says the Rural New Yorker in speaking
on this subject. "Many farmers defer
such precautions until injury and loss
have punished their delay. In this cold
and changeable climate. it shows Il sad
lack Of lolethought and economy to neg
lect such repairs and improvements as
will secure proper shelter during the
rlg0rs of winter for the farmers own
family, his stock and the crops he has
gathered. A board Oft, or pane of glass
out, here and there, may cause u long
doctors blll, the loss OF Il young animal,
or OF a part OF the potatoes, roots, OF ap-
pies, and OF the labor and money best0W-
ed on their cultivation. Moreover, if the
places where animals are kept il winter
dIe cold, windy and damp, a large pro
portion OF the food that would otherwise
contribute to the increase of the bulk OF
y
case of mich COWS, is diverted from these
purposes in order to make good the waste
induced in meeting the severe demands
for animal heat. Experiments have PROV
ed that for an animal exposed to the
