Of the community was considerably stirred
up yesterday over the raid of he night before
on the room of the Standard club in Bates

regular social organization which has been iE

sive, only members and friends from abroad,
who may be visiting them, being admitted.
The membership is largely made up of promi-
nent Israelites, and though games of chance
are permitted to be played, the stakes are in
varlably small. Frequently during the
winter the club gives dance, on which occa
sion their room is graced by the presence of
their lady friends. In its eighteen OF twenty
years of existence this is the first time the
club has ever been molested, and therefore
the Indignation of the members was all the
greater yesterday. 1t was evidently a scheme

The New York HeraIa's Mares Nest

Baltimore BaLimorean: Under the cap
ton of Wonderful Caverns, a correspoL dent
OF the New York Herald has sent that jour
nal long account OF what he dencmInates
the recent discovery of "a cave of vast pro-
portions 1t is located about one mile west
of Luray, Page county, Virginia, and some
three hundred yards north of the Newman
ket and SpurrYvilie turnpike. The descsipe
ton Is known to &c greatly exaggerated, and
the grandlloquenJ style IN which the CORE
spondent has INDUCED was evidently in
tended for special purpose. The truth is,
| that the cave In question was discovered
about htty-three years ago, 1925 and full
accounts of that exploration and description
OF the cave were published in the iiTqinsa
Ga3ettSe" In the year 1895. We reproduce
this account and description on the first page
OF the BaHimOreGn to-day, and such of cur
readers as may have read the New York
HeIGld'S correspondence will find q marked
contrast. The fact that the cave has been
comparatively deserted tor more than fifty
years is evidence that the imagination of the
HeTdld's correspondent was either greatly
infamed, or that he has purposeiy magniied
the sights, SO far IS grandeur and gorgeous
ness ..re concerned. Be this as It may, it
certainly Is not recent discovery; and we
have no doubt of another fact: 1t is scarcely
to DE believed that 1t equals Weyers cave, in
Augusta county, Virginia, much less SO I'M
measurably surpasses it, as the correspondent
would have the public believe"

following editorial in its last Issue, which
shows that the immigration movement to
Tennessee has received decided impetus of
late: during the past two weeks immigra-
ton has rapidly increased in Tennessee.
More purchases have been mada than in any
two weeks since we nave beeISeonnected with
the enterprise. In Wayne county, a gentle
man and his party have purchased thirty-fve
hundred acres IN all; parties from Michigan
have purchased In Lawrence county; a party
from Michigan have purchased eighteen hun =
dred and fifty acres IN Coffee county; a gem
tleman, for himself, son and son-in-law, has
purchased three farms In Davidson and VIII
hanson counties, in all about four hundred
and forty acres of first class land, The above
purchases sum up six thousand one hundred
| and ninety acres, and tie price paid ranged
from one hundred dollars per acre Tor the
most expensive, down to fifty cents per acre
tor the cheapest. The aggregate amount
paid was about forty thousand dollars. This

Lexington (Ky.) correspondence Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer: Senator James b.
Beck reached home on Friday from Illinois,
where it was thought he bad been to attend
the Chicago commercial convention. He has
given more attention to the consideration of
the que tons likely to come before such a
convention than most public men, and as he
had been represented in the newspapers,
through the As ISOLATED Press, as having taken
part IN the debate, an Enquirer representa-
tive waited upon him as soon as possible to
learn his views as to the character and aims
of the Chicago gathering. The first sur
prise was TO learn that Mr. Beck had not
been in attendance at the convention, al
though appointed by the governor to repre-
sent Kentucky.

FARMERS MEETING.

The Farmers Association met al
Salem Station, on February 18th, at
ten o'clock A M A good number
were on hand, full of enthusiasm and
spirit. The ladies also were out in
large numbers, with baskets full of
eatables to replenish the inner man.
| When the hour arrived for discus
sion, the President, J. NJ. Kellogg, call
ed the meeting to order, and announc-
ed the question How to handle and
feed COWS, so as to obtain the greatest
quantity and quality Of milk.
William Munson led off, and said
that it was not his practice to feed
very high, but had come to the con-
clusion that he must feed higher to
obtain a more satisfactory income.
Said he did not think winter dairying
paid the best.
A. j, Booth said that he felt en-
barrassed to give his experience before
so many older dairymen, fed four
quarts per day to each cow for three
weeks before dropping calf, then grad
ually increased to ten quarts, with all
the good hay and corn fodder the cows
could eat, keeps his COWS going ten
months in the year, milks thirty-six
cows, makes a pound of butter from
twenty-three pounds of milk as weigh
ed at market.
r. S. Houston said that his cows
come in at any time, and MIXED his
cows all the year about, and thought
he got more milk than when under the
old system of having COWS come in, the
spring Said a cow would give a.
thousand pounds of milk more by drop
ing calfin the fall than in the spring.
Fed his cows ten pounds of corn and
oats mixed half and half, thinks this
feed is the best giving butter the best
flavor and color. Obtained a pound |

away until the next day; worked and
packed in sixty-fve pound tubs.
A. j. Booth said that he set his milk
in large pans, and held it generally for
thirty-six hours, with room at sixty
eight to seventy degrees; then skim
med, putting in a spoonful of salt to
skim, and string cream; when ready
to ohurn puts cream in churn; colors;
uses square box churn with breaks;
cream at fifftty-six to ffty-eight degrees;
when butter has come to about size Of
hazel nut uses about half pint of salt
in water to seventy pounds of butter;
churns sufficiently; then uses about as
much more brine; ehurns a trife more;
draws eff butter-milk and thoroughly
washes in brine; uses Higgins salt;
fye-eights Of an ounce to a pound of
butter; brine at sixty degrees wash
butter; works with a Walkers butter
worker, and packs in about sixty-fve
pound tubs
Captain futile said that since the
great National Butter and Egg
Convention at Chicago, he had been
wondering why Mr.. Booth obtained
the prize. Mr. Booth had now let out
the secret, though it may be unwill-
ingly. Mr. Booth chumed at ffty-six
degrees; therein lies the secret. No
butter could be churned at seventy de-
grees; it was too warm to make good
butter; makes twenty-five to twenty
six pounds of butter from six gallons
Of cream; uses crank churn; churns at
go degrees in about twenty minutes;
uses a pint of salt to twenty-five
pounds Of butter; works in churn; sets
away until next day, then takes a
cloth and works butter dry; protests
the use Of brine in butter; water should
never enter butter; never colors but
ter except by feeding
A. S. Barber read from Professor
Arnold's book on D&irying, showing
that cream should be churned at sixty
degrees, and butter washed with brine.
and said that he could make the most
and he thought the best butter when
he could keep his milk cool enough to
hold forty-eight hours; said butter
was very much improved by washing
with brine
G. II. Booth said much of the butter
made was churned too much, spelling
the grain of the butter.
The discussion now closed, all feel
ing that each individual had been
made better by being present. The
ladies of Salem and yacinity provided
al ample dinner for all, and as part re-
enumeration five dollars was donated to
the Salem Sewing Society by the Farm
ers Association, and also vote of
thanks was given by unanimous voice.

THE VO YAGERS.

No longer spread the sail,
No longer strain the oar;
For never yet has blown the gale
VIII bring us nearer shore.
The swaying keel slides on;
The helm obeys the hand
Fast we have sailed from dawn to dawn,
Yet never reached the land.
Each mourn we see It's peaks
Made beautiful with snow;
Zach eve its vale and winding creeks
That sleep in mist below.
At noon we mark the CLEAN
Of temples tall and fair
At midnight watch the bonfres stream
In the auroral air.
And stin the keel is swift;
And still the wind is free
And still as far its mountains lift
Beyond the enchanted sea.
Yet VAIN is all return,
Though false the goal before;
The gale Is ever dead astern,
The current sets to shore.
0, shipmates leave the ropes;
And what, though no one steers,
We sail no faster for our hopes,
No slower for our fears.
Howe'er the bark is blown,
Lie down and sleep awhile
What profits toll when chance alone
Can bring us to the isle?

THE SPANISH STUDENT.

THE SPANISH STUDENT.
In 1843 1tr. Lcngfellow, then So years
old, published "The Spanish Stundent."
He had already shown himself gen
uine poet by his III oices Of the Nigh"
and a true citizen Of New England by
his Poems on Slavery" Still he al
ready betrayed a disposition to be i'm
pressed and inspired more by the life
and legends Of Europe than of Amer
lea. From his ak years abroad had
come his "Ontre Ner" and "Hype-
rion." Foreign literature had given
the poems for his "Translations" and
the subjects for his Ballads" Espec-
tally his year in Spain and his studies
Of Spanish literature, had left their
impress OF him, From the Spanish
the "Coplas de Manrigue" and most Of
his other TRANSACTIONS had come. And
now in 1848, this his first extended
work was also Spanish in scene and
spirit.
To Spanish literature also Mr.. Long
fellow was partially indebted for this
particular work. He took "the main
incident" of it, as he tells us, 1.-THE love
Of Spanish student for o Gypsy girl,
and the name Of the heroine Preciosa,
from Ceryantes play Of "La Gitanilla. !"
Two other Spanish authors had also
retold the story in dramatic form, and
Thomas Middleton had reproduced it
in England in "The Spanish Gypsy"
But though thus borrowing the main
incident of the play, he did not follow
Creyantes story in any Of it's details,
nor treat the subject as any of the
others did.
The plot of the Spanish student is
soon told, Preciosa, then dancing as q,
Gypsy gill on the stage in Madrid, isl
in love with Victorian, student of
Alcala. Victorian returns the pas
sion with such devotion, that he does
not appear a model student at ALL
comes to Madrid to see Preciosa alto
gether too often, and even climbs into
her chamber by the balcony in very
like manner. So deeply in
love is he, that he proposes to give up
the heiress to whom he is betrothed,
and brave the sneers Of the world in
this poor Gypsy girl. But
many trials await the lovers. Precio-
sa's father has already promised her to
Bartolome,a wild Gypsy robber. Worse
yet, the Count Of Lara, an unprinci-
pied noble of Madrid, captivated by
her beauty, has laid his snares for her.
So the lovers have trouble enough. !
Lara failing to win Preciosa by gold, |
visits her unceremoniously to plead
with her; and while he is there Vic
torian comes just in time to hear some
words of Preciosa which have very
sound. Hence comes a
duel with Lara, which however proves
bloodless. Worse yet, Victorian's sus-
picions against Preciosa are confirm
ed by Lara showing him ring, just
like one Victorian had given her, and
which Lara boasts she had given him
with other fayors. So Victorian aban-
dons Preclosa in despair, and Lara
now finds the way clear. But Bar

even unnatural. The attempt to be
dramatic seems at times a little out
done. When Hypolito at sound Of the
clock striking 8 in the morning, says
''F1ark how the loud and pondrous mace of time
Knocks at the golden portal of the day !"
it sounds little too stacy even for the
stage. In order that Victorian may
hear some suspicious remark from
Preeiosa, she is made to speak q few
sentences that are out of place & incon-
sistent. Finally Preciosa's dancing be-
fore the Archbishop and Cardinal has
a result unnatural to an amusing de-
gree. The Archbishop and Cardinal
seat themselves with severe prejudice
against the dance; but after seeing
Preciosa dance a few minutes, these
grave and reverend dignitaries Of the
church, became SO pleased and excited
that they rise from their seats and ap-
plauded yehemently throwing their
caps in the all like boys
On the whole we cannot call this
early drama Of Longfellow success.
Indeed he seems to think SO, and it no
longer appears in his work entitled q
Play as originally.
But though not successful drama
or even dramatic poem: there are many
fine poetic passages scattered through
it. Especially fine are the bits of nat
ural scenery in the picture: as Of the
sun-lit mountain-tops in early morn
ing while Victorian and Preciosa are
travelling DER them:
"See Preciosa, see how all about lis
Kneeing like hooded frlars the misty mountains
Receive the benedicti0n of the Sun"
That Serenade too is a delightful
scene as
Slowly through the lilac-scented ar
| Descends the tranquil moon Like thistle down
| The vapory clouds float in the peaceful sky"
And while from above come the nightingale song
| From below come the charming serenade:
