JOHN E. OWENS

been largely successful in this country for three

The First NapoIeOn's RepubIicanism.

The Paris correspondent of the Pail
Nall Gazette says: The probability is that
Prince Napoleon will be accepted by the
whole party as the chief of the Bona
partists. We are reminded that if the
son of Jerome has hitherto behaved
more like a Conyentionalist than prince
of the blood, Napoleon III, before be-
coming chief of the State, was regular
Jacobin. All his writings were imprcg-
mated with an advanced Socialism which

The Prince ImperiaPs Nerve.

The Prince Imperial is said to have
been fine gymnast, good runner, an
admirable horseman, and accustomed to
vault into the saddle with the greatest
ease, without touching the stirrup. His
nerve and surefootedness were something
quite wonderful. Last year, when he
had disabled his arm by scald so that
he was obliged to wear it in sling, find
ing himself on board the Osborne, he ran
out along the bowsprit and back again,
as though he were walking along a
road-a feat which much surprised and
not little alarmed those who saw it

MANY farmers have an impression
that their apple, peach, and pear orchards
can take care of themselves little, but
their foraging ground is limited, and to
suppose that within this limited space
food can be found to sustain growth and
bear fruit for decades of years without
any re-supply of the raw material, is I'M
reasonable. No wonder that so many of
our orchards show moss-grown trunks,
decayed branches and stunted fruit.
EUROPE promises to be for all time to
come profitable mart for our surplus
apples. Near the close of the present
season prices ranged from twenty-five to
thirty shillings per barrel for ordinary
American fruit, for very choice Bald
wins, and lady apples from two to three
shillings per dozen in boxes These prices
are a heavy advance on the selling rates
of similar fruits in our leading cities, and
must have the eject of stimulating the
cultivation of the crop.

RESTORING faded flowers: The ma
jority of flowers begin to wither after be-
ing kept in water for twenty-four hours.
A few may be revived by giving them
fresh water with a pinch of saltpeter in
it; and even quite withered flowers can
be restored by placing them in cup of
boiling water, deep enough to cover
at least one-third of the stems. When
the water has cooled, the flowers should
be bright and erect again. They may
now be inserted in fresh cold water, after
having shortened their stems by about
an inch. Thin-petaled, white, and
light-hued flowers, however, do not re-
vive so completely under this treatment
as deep-hued, thick-petaled blossoms.

Little girls upon the street,
Laughing eyes and tripping feet,
With your hands all running over
Daisy blossoms and flowers OF clover
You to me picture bring
OF a long-lost sunny spring;
Waving woods and sunset skies
Come ike dreams Of Paradise.
Little girls, when coming days
Hold for you their memories,
When in womanhood's white land
You shall haply one day stand
Keep your childish faiths Is sweet
As those blossoms at your feet;
Though your hands no mora run ev0
With the daisies and the clover.
Some day, little maiden fair,
With your wind-tossed, sunny hair,
Shall you flush at loves sweet praises
That are sweeter than the daisies;
Woman's hopes and woman's love,
Sweetness sent from heaven above,
With these shall your hands run over
Dropping daisy blooms and clover.

How to Bit a COlt.-Adirondack Mn

How to Bit a COlt.-Adirondack Muir
ray says the true way to bit colt is not
to bit him at all that is, let him bit HIM
self When my colts are one year old I
begin to teach them to hold bit in their
mouth. The bit is of pine, some half
inch in diameter and five inches in
length. This piece of soft wood is held
in the mouth by cord tied to either end
and pressing over the head, back of the
ears. The colt loves to have this in his
mouth, because it enables him to bring
forward the teething process. He will
bite it and work it over in his mouth
and enjoy it hugely. He will welcome
1t, and will actually reach out and open
his mouth for it, as trained horse will
for bit. After few days, you can tie
strings, making miniature reins, to this
bit, and teach the colt the proper use of
it. When this is done, he is ready for
the regular steel bit. Put your bride on
with a leather bit, large and plant;
throw your checkline, if your bride has
one attached, into the pigsty; get into
your wagon and drive off. Thisis all the
biting" colt needs. Treated in this
way, he will have lively, yielding. sem
sitive mouth. He will take the bit
bravely when working up to his speed,
but yield readily to the drivers will. A
horse, bitted in this sensible way, can be
driven forty-clip with the lines held
in one hand, or be lifted over five
barred gate with the strength of
single wrist. If you do not believe it,
try it, and see.

The Trouble Between the Trustees
and Huston & Co.

and Huston & Co.
The Trustees of The Cincinnati Southern
Railway held meeting yesterday evening,
all the members present except Governor
Bishop.
The recommendation of c. & P. Engineer
Bouscaren, in favor of the acceptance of
proposal from the keystone Bridge Com
pany for the construction Of wood and iron
railings on the viaducts along the road,
was laid over till another meeting. The
total cost under the bid will be $5,5l5 04.
Secretary and Auditor Tatem reported the
cash balance in the hands of the Trustees to
be $3.50, $40 Sc; and, also, that he had de-
posted $3.50, 900 bonds properly attested and
signed in the Third National Bank, subject
to the order of Sweet & Co., Of Boston.
Mr.. Tatem also gave notice that $1SS, 900
of the bonds had been delivered to Sweet &
Co., and had produced $l98, ,317 81.
A letter was dictated and ordered sent to
K. G. Huston & Co., the contractors, the
contents being that Engineer Bouscaren is
not satisfied with the work as now being
done. The communication says
According to R. g. Huston & Co.'S own
programme of operations, furnished upon
my demand January 9Th which only allow
seventeen days for the completion of all
other work after the track has been con-
nected at New River, the track on the
northern division should have reached
Sloan's Valley Viaduct January 9th, and
track laying on the southern division should
have commenced at Boyce's Station Febru-
ary Sd. The track actually reached Sloan's
Valley at 10 a. m. this day, and no rails
have yet been shipped to Boyce's Station.
This is loss in the work of track-laying of
eight days for month, during which the
weather has been remarkably favorable.

the northern division the contractors have
shown inability to organize and conduct
operations so as to secure good quality and

Serious Charges Against Ex-Chief
Megrue.

Serious Charges Against EX-Chief
NIegrue.
The Council Committee investigating the
affairs of the Fire Department met last
night.
Thomas Brown, Secretary of the Depart
ment, testified regarding an appearance of
irregularity in regard to private fire-plugs.
1t seems that when the new Marshals were
assigned to duty, Assistant Lewis Wisbey
was given control of the department of els
terms and fire-plugs. He found number
of plugs which apparently belonged to the
Department, but which were being used by
street sprinklers, who claimed that they
owned the plugs, having paid Mr. Megrue
for them. Mr.. Wisbey demanded to see
the receipts, and number showed such re-
ceipts, signed by Mr.. Megrue. Mr.. Brown
testified that he examined the records, and
found that in no case was the money en-
tered on the books. The inference was left
that Mr.. Megrue had appropriated the
money.
Mr.. Wisbey was the second witness
sworn and his testimony agreed with that
of Mr.. Brown so far as these private fire.
plugs were concerned.
There was other testimony taken as to al
legged similar transactions by Megrue and
Secretary Folger, and then the Committee
adjourned, subject to the call of the Chair
man.
