A bill has been introduced in the House CT
Representatives by Kansas member to appro-
pirate money for the relief Of the colored emf
grants from the South who have settled In
Kansas. In behalf of the bill it Is urged that
these colored people are destitute of food and
clothing; that there is great deal OF sickness
among them, and they need medicine. 1t re-
Quires no prophetic vision to foresee the defeat
OF this bill The democrats, who have bitterly
opposed the exodus, will not appropriate money
to relieve those whom they warned against
moving from the south to the north. And,
really, the bill ought not to pass. 1t is the
right OF every citizen of this country. black and
white, to move about at his own pleasure.
Ii ne Is too poor to pay travelling ex-
penses, and other citizens choose to contribute
money for that purpose that, too, is privilege
that cannot be denied to them. But there is no
theory by which the government can be called
upon to relieve or support any class of citizens,
even though misfortune may have oyertaSen
them. A precedent Of this kind once established
might lead TO no end OF mischief. Every Con-
gresham could find among the people who vote
Tor him some class of deserving poor for whom
he could appeal for an appropriation. Besides
should Congress pass this bill 1t would have the
eject OF increasing the number of destitute
blacks in Kansas

The turn that affairs have taken in Maine
seems to have put the republicans on the van
tage ground. There is deadlock in the state
business that cannot be broken until a state
government shall be organized and put In posi- i.
tian to perform its functions The people will
very likely soon weary of being without a civil
administration, and there can be no doubt but
that they will declare for the officials who were
legally chosen at the polls. The responsibility
for the present chaotic state OF affairs will be
visited upon the fusionists. The law-loving Cit
liens will scarcely be content to abide long
under semi-military government In order that
the fusionists may get power to which they are
not entitled. 1t is not likely that there will be
any violence. II the people are forced to de-
clare themselves they will be apt to be nearly
unanimous for the right. Citizens who have no
interest In politics will submit to see the popu-
lar will reversed, but they will not become
parties to it by sustaining those who perpe.

arisen Will be apt to strengthen the republicans
because they, having carried the election, are

Two Big SWindIerS.

A singular story of wholesale swim
ding and inconceivable credulity comes
from Rome. About year ago, q young
and beautiful wo ran, believed to be an
American, and credited with the posses
sion Of an enormous fortune, arrived in
the italian capital, accompanied by
young man belonging to one of the
Oldest and most distinguished Roman
families, and by monkey. She had no
other travelling companions. Shortly
after her arrival she was married to the
young aristocrat, whose name the Ital-
ian papers conceal under the title OF
Signor X. The couple went upon a
wedding tour, and spent, money with
lavish hands. They selected the city of
Portici for their home, saying that they
wished to livei in retirement while await
ing the completion of nadame's twenty.
fifth year, when she would come into
full poSsessl on OF her fortune and would
receive six millions of dollars. Every
one was ready to give credit to such a
great heiress. A Roman gentleman, in
whose villa the couple lodged, loaned
them $4,000, and guaranteed payment
for 100000 worth of jewelry, which
LEY bought in Naples. They made
debts among the Neapolitan merchants
and bankers to the amount of $4,000
In Rome they victimized the storekeep-
ers heavily for diamonds, corals, costly
furs and other portable articles of high
price. Nothing seemed too costly, pro-
vided they could get credit forit. They
even had the handles of parasols and
umbrellas Eset with precious stones.
They contracted to buy the Villa Mira
fiori for $l4O, 900, bought seven carriages
and forty horses, and ordered private
railway car md Yacht. Within year
they managed to make debts to the ex-
tent of over half million of dollars
The date fixed for payment was in all
cases the first of March. In February
the couple went to Paris and then to
London, movement that seems to have
excited no suspicion among their credi =
ors; but on the first of March news
came to Rome that they had gone to
America, taking with them an immense
quantity of baggage. A few days later
banker in Rome received letter from
the husband saying that the will max
ing his wife rich heiress had been set
aside, and that they had gone to Amer
lea, hoping with perseverance and indie
fatigable effort to regain the position
they had occupied in the world.

In Castle Harden.

NJ. Quad, of the Detroit Free Press,
gives picture OF life at Castle Garden,
New York, where emigrants are landed,
as follows: Once beyond the offices the
visitor descends steep stairway TO find
himself in a piare somewhat resembling
a round house for LOGON olives. Hereis
a circular space large enough TO hold
1000 or 5000 people. 1t is heated by
coal stoves, well supplied with benches,
and has every convenience demanded by
people whose stay is seldom more than
two days. Two thousand emigrants
were sheltered there the day walked
down among them. They were Swedes,
Danes, Poles, Germans, Irish, French
men and Englishmen, and over in one
corner a group of Laplanders nibbled at
luncheon and talked among themselves.
In one corner was a family of real old
Dutch stock. The grandfather and
grandmother were there with their
black pipes and wooden shoes, the father
and mother with their fat, ruddy cheeks
and coarse wooden garments, and eight
children were sleeping on the benches,
or looking from the windows. Three
generations were there in one group, and
the old people looked hearty enough to
feel sure of dozen years more OF life.
The interpreter spoke few pleasant
words to the father TO draw him out,
and here was his simple story:
81 am little bit afraid. though
don't let the old folks know it. Every
thing is very strange to us here.
know this is not prison, but l am not
quite satisfied about it. We are going
to country called Brasky (Nebraska),
where some of my old neighbors have
settled. have beea wanting to come
for sever u years, but father thought we
would be fooled. He can't see how one
man car have so much land over here.
We don't know how you get along with
out king. How is it that your men do
not have to go in the army unless they
want TOP Everything goes in such a
hurry over here that l am afraid. ]
have money to buy land, but I'm afraid
it won't grow cabbages like our ground.
My old friends in Brasky wrote me that
you have no storks here. l am sorry
for this. l can say New York and
steamboat in English, and l shall
soon learn to talk the language. You
see my old mother is crying. She has
three children buried near our old home
and she is afraid she will never see theil
graves again"

Professor Dana says COW will make
about seventy pounds Of manure a day,
or twelve tons year. This includes
both solid and liquid, and is worth from
81 to So ton.
1t is generally conceded that sweet
corn makes the most and best relished
fodder for COWS. The first seed costs
mole. but nothing in proportion to the
benefit to the dairy.
The dairy stands in need of nothing
more than a mechanical milking ma
chine. 1t would reduce the expenses of
dairying nearly one-half, and take from
it the excess of worry and care that now
burdens it. Ten cows to the mixer is
now the rule, that being as manv as the
average man can thor 1ughly milk in an
hour. The great loss to the dairy is
want of profitable work for these men
between milking, as two men can feed
as many COWS as ten men can milk.
Land and Home.
If there is any truth in the following
it is important: A statement comes from
South America that a singular property
of tomato leaves has been discovered by
a fruit-grower. Having cut down some
tomato vines he used them as a mulch
around his reach trees. He soon dis
covered that the curculio, which was
destroying his fruit, had abandoned the
trees surrounded by the tomato vines.
Following up this accidental discovery,
the free use Of tomato vines proved a
perfect protection, net only against the
curculio. but other noxious insects.
The american Cultirator says it may
be comparatively slow operation to
milk one COW in five minutes, while on
the other hand ten minutes time might
be called quick operation in milking
another. Anv person whose hand is at
all sensitive' to the touch will, if he
forces the milk down to the end of the
teat faster than it Can escape, find the
milk rushing back, meantime the COW
showing the movement to be one of
pain. Always milk so that the operation
shall be pleasant one to the docile ami
NAL. affording her relief in the careful
emptying of full bag OF its contents.
Where care and gentleness are the rule
in this particular, the COW will welcome
the coming of the mixer as the approach
of friend.

A &2.h0 Fight.

A Carson City paper reports the fol-
lowing lively law proceedings: Yester-
day aftern on young man came into
Justice Cary s courtroom, with the rim
of his hat drawn down over his eyes,
and II marked: do rou know meP"
:" | think" replied the court, meekly,
"that you are the chap I sentenced for
stealing about a year ago."
That's just the hairpin [ am" re-
piled the other, 'and here's $40 for my
fine."
but you served your term in Jail, :"
THAT'S all right, old boy; but I'm
about to commit an assault and battery,
and guess I'll settle now. You're the
man propose to lick"
"Oh, that's it," reioined the court,
pocket ng the coin; "then you can start
in, and we'll call it squsre."
The young man advanced to the court
and let out his left. The judge ducked
his head and, rising up, lifted the in
truder in the eye with right-handed
and sent him over against the wall. In
moment the court was climbing
over the man, and in about three min
utes his face was hardly recognizable.
The man begged the court to let up,
which he finally did. AS the fellow was
about to go out Cary went after him
with: "See here, young man, don't
think the fighting you did ought to be
assessed at any more than So 50-here's
$l7 so in change. | amt charging you
anything for fighting, but just for my

the next t. ain for Virginia City.

WhereIHer Bow Was.

The Boston girls are rushing into
violinity in way that is terribly sug.
gestive OF the horrors which unborn
generations are to sup upon-which re-
minds us of an incident. At one of the
evening fiddling schools, the "profes-

abruptly: +" Where is your bow, Miss
RosinwelP" "Oh," she said, abstract
edly, :" he's waiting for me outside,
gu S." And then every drop of blood
rushed into her face, and when she be-
gan to practice, her violin gave vent to
cries as OF one undergoing torture. If
it felt all the venom the young lady put
into her work, the cries we're all too
mild in their heartrending weirdness.
She was just as mad as she could be-
