For half an hour before tho circus

How TO MAKE Cows GIVE MILK.

How To MAKE Cows GIVE Milk
A writer in the Southern Farmer
says: ellis COW gives all the milk
that is wanted in u family Of eight,
and that from it, after taking all that
is required for other purposes, 26O
pounds of butter were made this year.
This is in part his treatment of the
COW: If you desire to get a large
yield of rich milk, give your COW
every day water slightly warm and
slightly salted, in which bran has
been stirred at The rate Of one quart
to two gallons Of water. You will
find, if you have not tried this daily
practice, that your COW will give
twenty-five per cent. more milk lmme-
d,ately under the effects Of it, and she
will become so attached to the diet as
to refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty. But this mess she will
drink, almost any time, and ask tor
more. The amount of this drink nec-
essary is an ordinary waterpailthl at a
time, morning, noon and night"

Among the hills of the Anglo -Indi.
an frontier cunning is quite as highly
esteemed as personal prowess, but
even these masters Of stratagem are
occasionally outwitted. A Hindoo
trader, who had occasion to pass
through their country recently, laid
out all his money in several large dia.
monds, which he bound round his
head with soiled rag, made to look
like bandage Of a wound. He then
put on his ragged clothes, and loaded
a donkey with loaves OF, spiced bread,
such as the mountainers like, putting
"a good dose of opium in each. He
soon fell in With half dozen briganos,
who paid no attention to the ragged
traveller, but pouDced upon the bread
and ate the whole of it. The opium
soon put them to sleep, whereupon
the traveller took what money they
had, their arms and the best of their
clothes, and went his way in peace.
But he took care not to travel by that
road again.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The House
committee on Pacific railroads met to-
day to consider and hear arguments on
the bill recently introduced in the
House to define the meaning and in
tention of the acts of Congress provid-
ing for the operation Of the Union
Pacific railroad and its branches as one
continuous line, without discrimination,
and the different reads and cities inter-
ested were represented by counsel and
officers of the companies. The case for
the Kansas Pacific was opened by A.
II. Holmes, who charged that in the
practical operation Of the Union Pacific
road all trans-continertal traffic was
thrown over its own line from Omaha
to Ogden, its point of connection with
the Central Pacific, and that branches
were entirely excluded from all partici-
patton therein. He said the time had
now arrived in the contest between the
public and Government on one hand,
and the railroad companies who were
creatures of their creation and recip-
tents of their munificent bounties, on
the other, when it must be determined
whether the Government should con.
troll the companies or the companies
should control the Government.

ILLINOIS.
A Troublesome Dilemm:

Chicago, Feb. 12.-As result of the
recent State Supreme Court decision
that taxes cannot be anticipated by the
city authorities by means of temporary
loans, bonds or certificates, every de-
partment of this city is seriously en-
barrassed, and new complications ap-
pear every day. No feasible way out
of the trouble has yet been suggested,
either by the mayor, common council
or by other city officers. Whether any
means of paying the outstanding in
debtedness, without violating the law
as interpreted by the Supreme Court,
can be found, is doubtful, but that
question is at present a less impor-
tant one than that which is being
asked every hour and without any sat
isfactory answer: How can money be
procured to keep up the various depart
ments of the city? An extra session
of the State legislature is suggested,
and legislation by it which will allow a
reasonable amount of loans in anticipa.
tion Of the collection of taxes already
levied. Other cities in the State will
find similar trouble in future unless the
present law is amended or abolished.

CONGRESSIONAL.


Washington, Feb. 12.-Christiancy,
In presenting petitions from citizens of
Michigan favoring 10th amendment
comforting the right Of suffrage upon
women, said he hoped the committee
ON Privileges and Elections would take
up the subject and report upon 1t.
When he should become satisfied that
majority of the women of the country
were in favor of female suffrage, he
would vote for it, but until then he
would not. He did not think these
petitions should be presented to Com
gress. The legislatures of states were
the proper bodies to present them to.
Morrill, reported favorably on the
House joint resolution declaring that
reduction of the tax on distilled spirits
is inexpedient, and gave notice that he
would call it up for consideration to-
morrow morning. Placed on the cal
endar.
Burnside reported with amendments
the Senate bill to remove all restric-
tions now existing in regard to the en-
listment of colored citizens in any
branch of the U. S. army. Placed on
the calendar.
Maxey and Cockrell announced that
they did not agree with the majority of
the committee in reporting this bill.
During the morning hour the follow
ing bills were nassed.
The Senate bill to constitute COM
mission to consider and report plan
for providing enlarged accommodations
for the Library of Congress ; the Sen
ate bill directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to purchase certain property
of the Freedmens' Savings and Trust
company, for the use of the United
States, and for other purposes. 1t ap-
propriates 1925, 900 for the purchase of
the Freedmen's bank building in this
city, now occupied by the Department
of Justice.
At the expiration of the morning
hour consideration was resumed of the
silver bill, and Mcdonald spoke in
favor thereof.

Hayes Louisiana Letter.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The letter
addressed by the President to Attorney
General Devens in relation to the con-
viction of Gen. Anderson, and read to
that officer yesterday, was not intended
for immediate publication. The fact
that the President had written such a
letter was made known through a sena-
tor to whom the President, in CONVEX
sation, communicated the information.
Although the text of the letter cannot
be obtained at this time, it is safe to
say it is comparatively brief, and is
somewhat in the spirit of the telegram
addressed to Gen. Anderson on the 4th
inst. by Secretary Sherman, Senator
Matthewsand Representatives. Garfield,
Hale and White. The President is OF
the opinion that the prosecution against
Gen. Anderson is solely political; that
it is not countenanced by the best men
of Louisiana, and therefore is contrary
to their calm judgment; that the pro.
ceedings were in the interest of those
who strive to antagonize the two par,
ties in that state, rather than to har.
monize them, and that so far from re.
ceiving the appreciation of the country,
the act will be condemned by right
thinking and patriotic men everywhere,
when they become acquainted with the
circumstances attending the prosecu-
tion, as grave constitutional questions
may be involved, and in which the gen.
eral Government may perhaps have the
right to interfere. The President sub,
mits the subject to the Attorney Cen
eral for his consideration.

WASHINGTON.
Political Crisis Pending.

Washington, Feb. IA political
crisis is impending, and before many
days it is very probable there will be a
radical change. in the policy of Presi-
dent Hayes toward the South, at least
so far as Louisiana is concerned. The
President and the entire Cabinet are
very much wrought up by the trial and
conviction of Gen. Anderson, and make
no attempt to conceal their feelings.
The statement sent out by Secretary
Sherman is not alone the utterance of
his mind but the opinion of the entire
Cabinet and the President himself.
A prominent Republican who is
member of the National Republican
committee says he is informed private
ly that the administration is trying to
force the Louisiana authorities to give
Anderson new trial, and that failing
in this the President will write and
make public letter to Gov. Nichols,
the outlines of which have already been
agreed upon by the President and some
of the members of the Cabinet This
gentleman does not believe that the
President intends to take any part in
the Louisiana complications arising
out of the prosecution of the returning
board until he is fully satisfied the au-
thorities there do not allow the accused
fair trials, but enter deliberately upon
the work of persecution on account of
political opinions.

Mr.. MCMILLAN, Of New Orleans,
who is in Washington seeking to be ap.
pointed Collector of that port, said that
the prosecutions of the Returning
Board are distasteful to the majority Of
the good citizens of New orleans, OF
both parties, and particularly so to bus
iness men. He said that the people
thought the excitement and bad blood
ought to have ceased when General
Nichols was made Governor, and that
quiet ought to be restored. The strife
that is now stirred up may lead, he
thinks, to still further trouble, and he
expresses the private opinion that the
prosecutions are instigated by ex-Gov,
ernor Tilden.
