"Do you like your champagne dry ?"
asked A of B., who didn't know how he
liked his champagne, because he had
only made his strike the day previous
and never before seen any champagne

One of the Tribune writers says the
trouble with the Indians is that Com
gress refuses to pass the necessary, ap-
preparation for the support of the saw
ages; that it winks at the violation of
treaties. and that it tacitly forces war
upon them. This can hardly be called
an original discovery since the same
thing has been discussed time and time
again. But it is rather curious to note
the fact that the attempt is now made
to cast all the blame on the Democrats.
1t has been suspected that the Interior
Department ought to bear its share OF
responsibility for some of the recent oc-
currences. Even the Secretary began to
feel that the country did not hold him
entirely blameless, and he burst forth
with newspaper communications IN
which he endeavored to show the super
lative excellence of his administration.
He did not succeed very well, however,
and therefore it is rather courageous for
Tribune man to take up the cudgels
for him

The Farmers Garden.

The farmers garden is usually, or at
least often, "a by-word and Kissing"
1t is small business to potter by hand
here when farm work is pressing and
your team might pillow two acres for corn
or drill in ten acres of oats or barley, or
plant twelve of corn with the patent two
horse ..rower.n But if the garden is
long and narrow. and planted in rows,
not beds, the blowing and narrowing
and most of the marking and cultivation
can be done with the team, and a very
little time each week will give us the es-
sentials. The perennial or permanent
vegetables, like asparagus, rhubarb, ETC.,
and all berry plants and bushes should
be at one side or both in rows with spaces
for horse cultivation, and the long rows
of ANIMALS down through the middle.
A row each of beets, onions, Swedes,
celery, cabbages, cauliflowers, and sal
isfy, and half a row each of cucumbers,
Squashes, melons, tomatoes, radlshes
and lettuce, will do nicely, and two rows
each OF peas Tin succession), Lima beans,
sweet corn and early potatoes will make
out quite respectable farmer garden
all that most farmers can afford to
plant and till. Then two or three hours
each week with horse and man and cul-
tivator and hoe, will make far better
garden really than as many days Of a
gardener with spade and hoe, working
ON patches and beds and alleys, laid out
TO please the eye. If you can afford the
latter, all right. Most farmers cannot,
and the row plan described is, | think,
the only one likely to secure good kitch-
en-gardens on most farms. If the gar
den is unfenced except from the road,
and these garden rows can be joined on
to rows of corn or potatoes in an ada
cent field, the garden is sure of tillage at
least when the field gets it, and the extra
labor is little felt. And it is easier to
fence the foocls than the vegetables.

Raising Swine.

L. e. Heaps, an experienced hog
breeder, gives the american Stocknan
the following practical suggestions for
successful hog raising: Do not quit
raising and feeding hogs; take better
care Of them; feed a greater variety Of
food; have better pastures; keep your
yards all cleaned up; tear down or else
clear out and thoroughly disinfect your
old hog houses and sheds, for here is
where the hog cholera turks. Keep all
places where your hogs sleep we'll disin-
fected, and give them plenty OF good.
pure, fresh water. Have good, clean
place in which to feed. Do not feed in
the mud. Feed regularly. Do not feed
too much at time, but feed often, and
make them eat it up clean. Salt your
hogs often Done rely on any patented
hog cholera nostrums to save your hogs,
for if you do you are gone. But keep
everything about your yards and sleep

Printing a Newspaper Under Difficulties,

The HiN of the People is the title of the
organ of the Nihilists in Russia. 1t APP
pears in the most extraordinary way in
unexpected corners and when least look
ed for. They say it is constantly to be
found on the toilet table Of the Emperor
and under the pillows of statesmen and
Generals. The manner in which this
curious organ is printed is described at
length by the st. Petersburg correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian. The
office is gloomy, miserable room at the
top of house in a poor locality. On
the door is an announcement of some
fictitious trade. The room is occupied
by poor wretch, formerly student; it
is wretchedly furnished. The bed occu-
pies pretty nearly the entire room.
owner of the apartment is editor, COM
positor, reporter, printer and publisher.
Under the mattress of the miserable bed
the type is hidden. Thence, when oc-
casion offers, it is transferred to the
multitudinous pockets of his great coat.
He goes out into the streets with diminu-
tive note book, hangs about public build
ings, glares at people in authority, whom
he would kill if glance could murder,
writes his "leaders in a secluded
corner Of park, and rolls each page
into pill to be swallowed ON the APP
proach of a policeman. As soon as the
work is finished he steals home, locks
and barricades the door, gets out his
type and sets up the paper, which he
afterwards prints in primitive manner,
and distributes through the streets, and
in cafes, and by all other means known
to conspirators. This account of the
difficult, dangerous and painful duty
which that poor patient scribe performs
under the direction of an memorable
committee, from whom he receives little
help, may or may not be in accordance
with truth; but there remains the unde-
niable fact that under the very nose of
the terrible Third Section, despite all
the vigilance of the police, a sheet is
printed, published and circulated, and
no man can put his hand upon those
who thus contribute to the literature of
revolution.

A FARMER in Willamstown, Vt, emptied
the brine from some pork barrels at the foot
of maple tree near his house, some time last
fall. Early in March, with the first run Of
sap, this tree was tapped, and some sugar was
made from the sap. The sugar turned out to
be so thoroughly impregnated with salt that
it could not be eaten. After the first run
there was less of the salt perceptible, and it
soon lost the flavor of salt entirely.

WASHINGTON, March I1.-Hon. Samuel J.
Randall, Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives. Sir: have just learned that Hon. VIM.
ID. Kelly, a Representative in Congress, made
certain statements in the House this forenoon
rejecting strongly on me, charging that have
attempted to use improper influence on him.
If my information in this regard be correct l
have only to say emphatically that such as
sertion is false in every particular, yes, in
every word l have not exercised
nor attempted to exercise any improper in
huences on Judge Kelly, nor any, in fact save
those which are legitimate and proper. This
no one knows better than himself. The diff
Guilty seems to be that Judge Kelly has been
called to account by some of his constituents
who have excepted to his course in many i'm
portant particulars. This being the case, he is
looking for an avenue of retreat
and sees it only by an attack
on me. l would thank you, as
this attack was made on a private citizen, to
have this letter read in the House that thus the
antidote may go out to the public with the
bane. And in this connection would say that
l am ready and willing, if necessary, to appear
before any committee of the House, whether o
standing committee or one especially appoint
ed, and testify in the matter, we'll knowing
tina. by my testimony can fully and satisfac
torily dispose of the charges made by Judge
Kelly in his representative capacity.

KEARNEY ARRESTED.

San FRANCISCO, March 1l.-Dennis Kearney
was arrested by the police at his residence this
morning on two charges of misdemeanor based
on remarks at the meeting Tuesday night. He
furnished bail and was freed from custody.
The arrest of Kearney was accomplished very
quietly, and while it has caused q great deal of
comment has occasioned no excitement or
demonstration of any kind. Public opinion
seems to be divided as to the wisdom of the
movement and there is much expression to the
effect that it will amount to nothing because of
the impossibility of obtaining conviction.
This view is mainly based on the fact that the
sheriff who has the drawing of jurors is per-
| sonal and political friend of Kearney and was
elected on the Workingmen's ticket. as was also
the district attorney. The witness in the case
| is member of the police force. who has been
attending in disguise the meetings and street
demonstrations of the workingmen and taking
notes. There are many who think the Citizens
Protective Union will be able to exercise a
moral pressure that will result in the convic-
ton of kearneY, and that the policy of making
arrests of any person indulging in incendiary
language will be vigorously pursued until the
agitators are either locked up or cowed into OBJ
servance of the letter and spirit of the law.
