Young Men I'm Congress.

The present House contains an unusually
large number of youngsters. The palm ir
this direction is carried off by Richard G
Frost, of st. Louis, who only completed his
2Sth year last month, and who first ran fol-
Congress in 1876, failing of an election then,
when he was under IS. Taylor of the first
Tennessee district, the young lawyer, who
has the reputation of having fiddled his way
into the House, carrying Republican dis
trict by sheer force of popularity among the
mountaineers of East Tennessee, will not be
thirty until next July, and Acklen, of Lou
isiana, is only couple of months his senior,
while Speer, of Georgia, is little over thirty
one. Frost is very boyish looking fellow
in the light business suit which he usually
wears, and it would not be at all strange if
he is sometimes mistaken for one of the pages
by colleague, as he not unfrequently is by
spectators. Speer looks so young that no.
body who should see him outside his seat
would suppose he was member of Congress.
Indeed, little incident which occurred in
borse car going up Capitol hill recently,
shows that not all his fellow members yet
know him as law maker A scholarly rep
resentative from Ohio, of nearly twice his
years. fell into conversation with him, but
they had not talked long before the westerner,
apparently suspecting that he was being in
terviewed "unbeknownst." remarked inquir-
ingly. "Yon're journalist, aren't you, sir
His surprise NAV he imagined when the young
man replied, ''Nn, sir: am a member of
the House fIom Georgia"

Care OF Colts.

AT this season many farmers are putting
young horses at hard work for the first time.
Great care should be observed in handling
them. Not one man out of ten is judiciously
gentle, and yet wisely firm in breaking colts.
There is liable to be too much haste. The
surplus horses have been sold off since last
year, and if the work presses there is of
course an anxiety not to lose time. Never
theless it is a good rule to make haste slowly.
Bring out the muscular powers of the young
horse by degrees. Do not forget that he is
young, green and nervous, just like boy
sent for the first time into the harvest field
If too much work is required at first, the colt,
no matter how good his disposition naturally
IS, will become discouraged, and will hate
his work, and dread the sight of the harness.
10 avoid such results, let him stand in the
stall, with the harness on. Drive him around
The lot with another horse alongside. When
taken out for a days hauling in the field,
give him little feed of barley or hay several
times through the day, or in fact whenever
he seems to act as if worried. You can't
make raw colt pull and toll in the same
spirit as an old horse does. Bring him to a
realizing sense of the labors of this world by
patience and good nature. Colts treated thus
keep their spirit, wear much better, and are
worth more either to keep or to sell.

The Slper State (Nevada) says q woman is
tramping across the continent. She has been
on the Humbolt Division for a week past
She carries bundle in which she has cloth
ing and provision, asks no favors of anybody.
AT night she cooks her meals, and tramps it
along the road during the day, making on an
average of from twenty-five to thirty miles a
day. Near Csrlin one of the train men told
her that perhaps she could get pass if she
ASKED Superintendent Coddington for it. She
replied that she wanted none, and when she
desired 10 ride would purchase ticket. What
object she has in spending months in tramp
ing across the contineDtno one along the road
has been able to ascertain, as she seemed deter
mined not 10 be interviewd.

Speaking of the coming comet an exchange
says: 1t begins to look as though the new
comet, which promised soon after its dis
covery in April to become speedily very
brilliant object, may, after all, pass through
the solar system without being visible to the
naked eye. 1t is calculated that it will pass
its perihelion, or point of nearest approach
to the sun, about July l, and that it will be
nearest to the earth and most brilliant early
in November. The history of comets, how
ever, shows that they are apt to be erratic in
their behavior, and it is not impossible that
this one, when it arrives in the immediate
neighborhood of the sun, may burst out into
blaze of cometary splendor like that which
astonisbed Tycho Brahe in 1916. Comets,
like peacocks, would not be very remarkable
but for their tails, and comets tails some
times grow with enormous rapidity. The
tail of the comet of 1S43 increased in length
after it passed its perihelion, at the rate of
33, 600, 900 miles dav. So there is yet room
for hope that the visitor who is journeying
out of the north to pay his respects to the
sun may bring with him royal train to sdorn
our skies and make his visit memorable"

young lady, "she seemed so small and insig-

very cross. She did not take the slightest
notice of me. beyond holding out her hand
for me to kiss, not saying anything. My
aunt had to courtesy as she passed the Queen

Commanding officer District Of the Yelloao
| stone:
SIR:-The Department Commander has
received and read with very great satisfac.
ton the reports of Captains Higgins and
Hamilton, and Lieutenants Coale and Clark,
ID Cavalry, and Captain Ovenshine, 9th In
fantry, of operations In the District of the
| Yellowstone in March last, under orders
from District Headquarters for combined
movement against party of hostile Indians.
The energy of these troops in making
marches of extraordinary length at the most
inclement season of the year, and in over
coming all obstacles in the way of rapid
search for the enemy; the excellent conduct
of affairs by Captain Higgins and Lieutenant
Coale, I'd Cavalry, after they had found the
trail the rspidity of their pursuit, continued
after their meat rations had become exhaust
ed and little else had been left fol them to
subsist upon, and kept up, despite the jaded
condition of their animals, until the enemy
had been overtaken and encountered; the
capture of the enenly's herd and five prison
ers of his party; and the gallantry displayed
by Captain Higgins, Lieutenants Coale and
Brett, ID Cavalry, Lieutenant Kislingbury,
18th Infantry, A. e. Surgeon T. 81. Terry, ].
A. Campbell, Lbief of Scouts, from Fort
Custer, ana the enlisted men and Indian
scouts engaged with them,-merits and re-
ceives from the Department Commander the
expression of his highest commentator.
He has had occasion many times to &C
knowledge the fine fighting and campaign
ing qualities of the troops in the District of
the Yellowstone, and he feels that the ex-
cellent reputation acquired by them in the
past is fully sustained by the record of their
more recent operations.

STILL TENANTED.

O,d house, how desolate thy life!
Nay, life and death alike have fled;
Nor Thrift, nor any song within,
Nor daily thought for daily bread.
The dew is nightly on thy heart,
Yet something swee;er to thee clinos,
AND some who enter think they hear
The murmur OF departing wings.
No doubt within the chambers there
Not by the wall nor through the gate,
tncOunted tenants come, to whom
The honse ls not so desolate
TO them the walls are white and warm.
The Chlmneys lure the laughing flame.
The bride and groom take happy hands,
The newborn babe awaits a ,me.
Who knows what far-of iourneyers
AT night return with winged feet,
To cool their fever in the brook,
Or haunt the meadow, clover sweet Z?
Aud yet the morning mowers find
No footprints in the grass they NOW;
The waters clear, unwritten song
IL not of things that come and 90.

That unseen people love to tread,
Nor i'll the moments Only when
The days eluded cares are deac.
To every home, or high or low.
Some unimagined guests repair.
Who come unseen 10 break and bless
The bread and oil they never share.

General Grant.
IDuhnuue Times

| 1t is unfortunate for General Grant that he
| permitted the use of his name at this time as
g candidate for President. His defeat is not
| to be taken as a reflection upon him, nor is
| it any evidence that he has lost the confidence
| or the affection of his countrymen. 1t is q
protest against third Presidential term, and
| the tradition that no man, however great or
distinguished, can be elected President three
times may now be regarded as settled with
| all the sanction of the highest law.
We care not to revive the bitterness of the
past discussion; we look forward and not
backward; we call upon every true Republi-
can to rally to the support of General Gar
field, for the cause is greater than any man
can be- General Grant was in false posi-
ton, and mistook the enthusiastic welcome
of the people for call to the Presidency 1t
was in fact personal. Of couree much of it
had political meaning, but the convention
has proven 10 the country and to Gen. Grant
that opposition to third term is not merely
sentiment, but principle.
There a.e friends of General Grant who
like ourselves opposed the third term, who
hold him in as high regard as those who
voted and worked for him at Chicago. We
treasure his reputation with pride as great
as any of his advocates, and we rejoice that
he has escaped the nomination, the calumnies
and vituperation of. the canvass, the heart
burnings and the anxiety of the coming con-
test. If any man can be congratulated on
defeat, that man is General Grant. We do
not say that he would have been beaten at
The polls, but there was some danger of it,
and that disaster would have been personal
sorrow to vast majority of the soldiers who
fought under his command. Defeated for a
domination in convention of his own party
s nothing, but to have been defeated at the
polls would have seemed to them like re-
1ersal of the victory at Appomattox. For
hese reasons We are glad that he did not re-
,eive the nomination.

Extract From Hfs First speech in the
House Of Representatives.
[Cincinnati Commercial.

Cincinnati Commercially
The first speech that Gen. Garfield in the
house was in reply to Hon. Alex. Long of
this city, who advocated the recognition of
the sothern confederacy. Garfield began his
reply to Long by saying he was reminded of
the characters connected with the revolution.
The first was Lord Facrfax, who felt it his
duty to go with the mother country, and
Benedict Arnold, who was traitor TO lis
