TIMELY CAUTION

Genuine Hop Bitters are put up in
square paneled, amber-colored bottles,
with white label on one side printed in
black letters, and green hop cluster, and
on the Other side yellow paper with red
letters; revenue stamp over the cork.
This is the only form in which genuine
Hop Bitters are put up, and the sole
right to make, sell and u1e them is grant
ed to the Hop Bitters Mfg Co., of
Rochester, \. Y, and Toronto, Ont, by
patents, copyright and trade mark. All
others put up in any other way or by any
one else, claiming to be like it or pre-
tending to contain hops, by whatever
names they may be called, are bogus and
unfit for use, and only put up to sell and
cheat the people on the credit and popu-
larity of Hop Bitters.

A HERCULEAN HINDOO.

An entertainment Of novel character
was given recently at the house Of Mr..
Morariee Goculdas. at Bombay, who in
vited large number of guests to witness
some extraordinary feats Of strength on
the part of the celebrated Deccan athlete
Babajee Tulsiram. The company, which
included many OF the leading inhabitants
Of the city, sat in a semi-circle, at either
point of which were placed several little
native boys arrayed In costly apparel.
The picturesque dresses of the native
ladies who were present, the white robes
of the Parsee gentlemen and the bright
colors Of Hindoo attire had a remarkably
fine effect when seen in conjunction with
the beautiful surroundings. After some
preliminaries in the way of handing
round for inspection the materials with
which he expected to perform, and hav-
ing satisfied the company that there was
no deception. the athlete, a tall, soldierly
man some twenty-seven years Of age and
with magnificent development of mus
Gle, proceeded to crush number of hard
cowries between the palms of his hands.
He completely ground them to powder
in this manner, uttering during the pro-
cess sharp, shrill cries, which were prob
ably intended to express the magnitude
of his exertions. Then the performer
placed a cocoanut upon the head of boy
and. with what appeared to be q fearful
blow, broke the nut in pieces and scat
tered the milk in all directions without,
strange to say, hurting the boy in any
way. The next feat was breaking stout
coil rope by simply pulling it. One of
the most extraordinary parts of the per-
Torrance was the following: The athlete
placed a betel leaf between two of his
fingers, and then, by pressing the fingers
together, cut the leaf so as 10 throw the
upper part several feet high. But the
most startling feat was the breaking of
stone laid on his breast. The man lay
down at full length upon some chairs,
and huge stone, weighing four Bengal
maunds, was placed on his chest, which
was simply covered with thin tunic.
Two men then struck the stone tremend-
GUS blows with heavy hammers, and after
one or two attempts the block rolled off
the mans chest in two pieces. He next
made several attempts to break cocoa
nut with a handkerchief. His mode of
procedure in this case was to roll the
handkerchief tightly in the shape of
ball, and then to throw the ball upon the
nut. Pulling piece of sugar cane in
two exactly at the joint, and bending a
thick iron plate, were among the other
feats performed. The company then
went out upon the balcony, where the
athlete cut sugar cane so as to throw up
q piece thereof $50 feet high. 1t was
done thus: A man held out a scimitar
with the blade downwards, and Babaiee
struck the cane upwards against the edge
of the sword, the piece thus cut off fly
ing great distance into the air. This
brought the performance to a close, and
the performer was then presented with a
handsome shawl.

AGRICULTURAL.

HAY FEEDING. n. N, Genoa Bluffs,
Iowa Query-Is it best to keep horses
standing by plenty of hay all the time, or
to give them portion at stated times, in
order to thrive WELL
Reply-A great deal of hay is wasted
by giving horses unlimited quantities of
if; besides too much hay is apt to iniure
their wind, by Mdue expansion of the
abdomen. An animal will thrive better
on a suficiency of good, sound and nu-
tritious food, given in properly limited
rations at regular intervals.
RAUB, Ind, April %.
There is great diversity OF opinion
with US here in regard to fax being more
injurious to the land than other crops,
oats, and corn, etc. VIII you please
give us your opinion in regard TO it, and
oblige constant reader of the Prairie
Farmer? AIT
Answer:-When grown for seed it is
more exhausting than oats, corn or other
cereal crops, but for fibre it does not tax
the soil more than the cereals, if as much.
MARENGo, III.
Query is the best time to set
out pine treesl L.
Answer:-The spring of the year is
preferable. 4 wet time or period should
be chosen for the work. Care should be
taken that the roots do not get dry. A
few minutes Of dying wind or a short
time in the hot sun is fatal to young pine
trees

FREDERICK DOUGLAS AND HIS WIFE
/ was surprised to find that Frederick
Douglas was hardly regarded as rep
resentative man among them. His SYM
pathies are to certain ineradicable ex-
tent with the proud white blood of his
father. He is true man. but constitu-
sionally unlike his mothers race in many
essential particulars His wife, however,
is n full-blooded negress, and 1 am told
that she has never learned to read or
write. He engaged himself to her when
in bondage, she being a free negress of
the same neighborhood, and after his
escape a sentiment of honor led him back
to marry her. He seems greatly attach
ed to her.
1t is always interesting to meet and to
talk with Mr.. Douglas. His grand head
is now thickly covered with snow-white
hair, and the years begin to tell upon
him in other ways. But he is majestic
looking figure in Pageant as 1 saw him
at the White House or New Years day.

The dispatches from Maine come IN
confused shape to-day, SO much so that
an Ineligible construction cannot be made
in time for THE ARGUS Of this evening.
From the tenor of the dispatches, how
ever. we are enabled to outline what is
probably the situation. The Fusion legis-
lature met to-day as usual. and the elec-
ton committee reported in favor of oust-
ing Hale, and four other Republican mem
bers of the House who hold their seats
thru ugh fraud. This gives the Fusionists
a legal quorum, and it was expected that
a governor would he elected to day.
In expectation of this, the Fusionists we're
making great preparations for mass
meeting TO night, at which bonfires. tar
barrels, and boxes were to be burned, and
speeches made. Gen. Chamberlain, it is
said will refuse to recognize the governor
no matter which legislature elects him,
and serious consequences are feared.
The Fusiorists are in good spirits and Esay
they are prepared to hold their position
and will do so at all hazards. The worst

a Pleasant Surprise,

Ga Tuesday evening a nambcr Of lsdie s
and gentlemen, in all some thirty-dge to for

the house of Alderman Donsldsoa, on
Fourth avenue near Eleventh street.
Whether Mr.. and Mrs. Donaldson had
any premonition of the affair is difficult to
determine. but appearances were certainly
in favor OF the surprisers, all warm perso-
nal friends of those whom it was designed
to honor; and SO when the procession,
laden with mysterious looking burdens,
reached the house, and the Am phions' who
seemed to come together By a sense OF
what was right and appropriate, drew up
on the lawn and sang one of their sweet
serenades, the full situation of affairs
must have burst upon them with consider
able force Much hand shaking and warm
congratulations were extended to MIR. and
Mrs. Donaldsop and then without further
ceremony the upper carpets AID those
other things which constitute the super
fuous about O house, were swept aside and
a most pleasant and social time commenc-
ed. Muse both vocal and Instrumental.
and not confined to one instrument either,
were enjoyed by performers and audience,
aud the social game or eascs vas not
ignored. Supper, refreshment or what
you may term it, was produced from the
mysterious packages, and reflected favor
ably ou the ladies'. Was there daGcing +?
OF course there was, and the way 10 which
some Of tie dancing was done. showed the
dancers to be dancers, indeed. It vas
early morn before the company separated
and having wished ths;g host and hostess
long life and prosperity, they carried away
the memory of delightful evening.
