Black Walnut Polish.-A quarter Of pint
of raw linseed oil, one tablespoonful of muir
attic acid, and little vinegar.
Many farmer pays out large sums for
phoSphates while he allows the valuable fer
tilizers of his own barnyard to run to waste.
To Polish Fzatirons-Beeswax and salt will
make your rusty flatirons as clean and smooth
as glass. Tie lump Of beeswaX in a lag, and
keep it for that purpose When the irons are
hot, rub them first with the wax rag, then
scour them with a paper or cloth sprinkied
with salt.
Preserving Silks and Aibbons.-Ribbons and
silks should be put away for preservation in
brown paper; the chloride OF lime used in
manufacturing white paper frequently pro-
duces discoloration. A white satin dress
should be pinned in blue paper with brown
paper outside, sewn together at the edges
To Clean Feathers.-Make a lather of curd
soap, boiling water and pearlash; when
it is little cool, wash the feather in it,
gently squeezing it wash it again with less
lather, and then rinse in cold water, shaking
It well before the fire, but not too near. Curl
| it by drawing each fiber over blunt edge of
a fruit knife. If the color is not good, use a
| little blue in the rinsing wafer.

murder of DR.. Joseph Bazo in June
1879. He broke Jail here last winter
after sentence, and was recaptured in
Henderson, Texas, few weeks ago, ,af-
ter being desperately wounded. de
afterwards broke his wounded leg in
attempting to escape from the Hender-
son county Jail, and consequently had
to be supported by the sheriff and dep
uties to the scaffold, where he was
seated in a chair. Though suffering
intense pain from his effort to use the
wounded leg, his features were calm
and composed. During the reading of
the death warrant and prayers of the
priest he occasionally puffed cigar and
looked composedly at the sky and at
the crowd of over Eve hundred persons
He did not show fear and said nothing.
The black cap and moose were adjusted
while he was seated. He was then as
sisted to his feet, and said in low,
calm voice, "God have mercy on me. -
The drop then fell. His contortions
were violent for few minutes, and he
lived nearly twenty minutes.

Physical Condition of the Country


New York, May 24.-The Times to
day publishes reports from all parts Of
the country concerning the condition
of the crops:
In New England within the last few
years there has been a considerable
revival in agriculture. Much farming
land has changed hands. and larger
farms are forming under control of men
commanding more capital. Miscellan-
eous cereal products and fruits promise
well. The grass crop has increased,
and dairy products are decidedly larger
than last year. New England will con-
tribute ten per cent. more hay, butter,
cheese and stock, than last year.
The Middle States fruit crops, espec-
tally peaches, promise well and are
everywhere up to the average and in
some sections decidedly larger.

Lively Fireworks.

Leadville, COL, May 24.-Yesterday
the woods on all sides of this city were
on fire, and dense clouds of smoke rose
high into the air and sailed off in the
direction of the Mosquito range. Bright
flames leaping into the tops of the tall
trees gave magnificent exhibition of
fire works, surprising the best fourth
of July display ever seen in America.
There was no general apprehension
felt in regard to the safety of this city,
all other accounts and kilograms to the
contrary notwithstanding. An inn
mense amount of cord wood, logs for
charcoal and standing timber has been
destroyed; a loss that we can lily afford.
Many cabins have also been burned.

away and burned up on calm days, we
need not fear any forest fires commu-
nicating with the city.

scenes attending an all night session
were enacted last night. At one O'Clock
the sergeant-at-arms was instructed tc
arrest all absentees, but at three O'Clock
no report had been made by him, which
called forth the remark from Congel
that perhaps the absentees had cap
tured the sergeant-at-arms, and il
might be well to call out the troops.
At 3:20 the speaker stated he had re-
ceived report from the sergeant-at.
arms that that officer had visited the
residences of % absentees, most OF
whom could not be found; some were
sick, and the remainder were not in
the city. (Laughter.)

rule of the house which could revoke
all pairs.

inasmuch as no rule recognized pair
Mr.. Hatch asked leave to offer q
resolution revoking all pairs, but Mr.
Van Voorhees, objected.
At O'Clock, Mr.. Weaver, speaking
for the center, proposed that vote
now be permitted upon the Ryan
amendment, and then the previou:
question would be understood as sec,
onded upon the bill.
Messrs. Hurd and Wilbur objected.
At 4:15 a report was received from
the sergeant-at-arms, communicating
the names of the abseutees who were
too sick to be present.
The speaker moved that the proceed
ings be new call of the house. Agreed
to.
The call of the house was proceeded
with, and at its conclusion the door:
were again closed.
Mr.. Reagan moved that the sergeant
alarms be directed to take the absen
