Senator Oscar Thomas Gilbert du
Motier Lafayette, son of George Wash
ington Lafayette and grandson of the
great French Marquis whose name is so
indelibly printed in American history,

born in 1916 and entered the Polytechnic
School in 1888. Thence he went to
school at Metz He was nominated sub
Lieutenant of the artillery and made
many campaigns in Algiers, where he
obtained Captains epaulettes and the

In 1S47 he associated himself with the

Farm and Garden Notes.


Pure milk condensed to one-third will
remain sweet from five to ten days in
warm weather.
Flax is crop which would follow a
clean cultivated crop OF sugar beats or
mangels. 1t can only be grown to ad-
vantage on well fertilized lands.
Charred corn is one of the best things
which can be fed to hens to make them
lay. 1t must not be fed as regular di-
ct, but in limited quantities each day.
To heavily feed COW of some milk
ing capacity is very poor economy. Rich
food will produce good results when fed
to cows that give large quantities of
rich milk.
A teaspoonful of powdered charcoal,
quart of bran, and refuse from the Ia
BILE, mixed and meistened with warm
water, are the ingredients of a capital
reproducing food for hens.
Harness oil made of one gallon of
lamp-black, well mixed, is simple and
effective.
The man whose watering-trough is
not dry. and whose stock can drink their
Gil under cover. has much to be thankful
for. 3.
Spent tan bark has been plowed into
compact clay soil with the best results,
as It rendered the soil mellow and in
creased warmth.
The raising of sheep is of the greatest
benefit to the land, because wherever
they feed, new and sweet grasses grow
and flourish, and the weeds are destroy
ed. Farmers should raise turnips and
feed them to sheep.

Wise Sayings.

Most men keep on hand large assort-
ment of evils, while their stock of excel
lencies is ruinously low.
When a man is always attributing
evil motives to people you cannot help
recalling the adage, set a fox to catch a
fox
If you should boast that you never
told the truth perhaps you would do it
at that very moment for the first time
in your life.
The man who is accused unjustly can
afford to maintain silence, but man
who is justly accused must make as
great pother as possible i'll order to
throw people off the track.
1t is said that love conquers all things,
but a jumping toothache that knows its
business and strictly attends to it can
for the time being make man forget
that he ever loved at all.
Venture not into the company of
those that are infected with the plague,
no. though thou think thyself guarded
with an antidote.
To pronounce man happy merely be-
cause he is rich, is just As absurd as to
call a man healthy merely because he
has enough to eat.
No man ought, to complain if the
world measures him as he measures 9TH
ers. To measure one with his own
yardstick may be hard, but it is fair.
And when We are in prosperity we are
ready to think our mountain will never
be brought low. SO when we are in ad-
versity we are ready to think our valley
will never be filed up.

Household Hints.

In icing cakes, the knife should be
frequently dipped into cold water.
Cool rainwater and soda will remove
machine grease from washable fabrics.
If your coal fire is low, a tablespoon
full of salt thrown on it will help it very
much.
A teaspoonful of turpentine boiled
with your white clothes will aid the
whitening process.
Cakes, puddings, &c, are improved by
making the currents, sugar and -four hot
before using.
A spooful of stewed tomatoes in the
gravy of either roasted or fried meat is
an Improvement.
In boiling meat for soup cold water
the meat is wanted for itself alone,
plunge in boiling water at once.
In washing oil-cloths, never use any
soap or a scrub brush. 1t will destroy
an oil-cloth, that should last for years,
in short time. Use instead warm wa
ter and soft cloth or flannel, and wipe
off with water and skim-milk.
Tea drinkers nowadays will do well
to apply the following simple tests to
the tea purchased of their grocers. Turn
out the infused leaves, and if they are
found good brown color, with fair sub
stance, the tea will be wholesome. but
if the leaves are black and of a rotten
texture, with an oily appearance, the tea
will not be fit to drink. The purer the
tea this more the distinctiyely brown
color of the leaf strikes the attention.
The mixing that is frequently adopted
to reduce prices results in the two kinds
of leaves being supplied together. 1t is
important to see that the leaves have
the serrated or saw-like edges, without
which no tea is genuine.

The Future of Andersonville Prison

The Future of AndersOnville Prison.
IAN Ex-Soldier," writing from Macon,
Ca. to the Chicago Tribune of Ander-
sonville Prison, says:
.The former strong walls of upright
pine posts are rapidly decaying, and in
most places ridge of rotten wood is the
only sign remaining of the once formi-
dable barricade. Young oaks and pine
have sprung up as rapidly since the war,
and many of them have attained the
hight of Is or 20 feet. The numerous
wells dug by the prisoners for water still
exist. The caves and burrows which
they dug for shelter have mostly been
changed into slight furrows or ridges
by the wear and tear of time. The men,
orable Providence Spring. at the foot of
the hill. which suddenly burst out one
night in tile midst of a very dry time,
when the prisoners were praying for
water, still exists; its clear cool waters
are the sweetest and most refreshing to
be found in an that region.
1T is matter of romance, not to say
poetic justice, that the main part of this
ground is now owned by colored man,
who was a former slave in that vicinity.

Bradstreet's Summary Of the Iron
Trade.

The impetus given to the manufacture
of iron and steel ON the continent of
Europe introduce a new factor in the
problem Of the worlds supply of iron
which has direct and important bear
ing on American iron interests. The
activity abroad is unprecedented. West
ern and Central Europe is full of new
projects and enterprises. France is bu-
sy with vast public works. Railroad
building on very large scale is being
prosecuted on the continent as far
east as Servia. The unusual de-
mand for railroad material has anticipa-
ted the capacity of the mills for the rest
of the year, and in some quarters the
blast furnaces have their products SIM
ilarIy sold. English manufacturers
count on having share of the work.
At home the storms in the West have
temporarily arrested iron shipments.
The country is consuming the very large
production, and inquiries received week
ly show that the requirements are in
creasing. The trade in general had ex-
pected an advance in prices, but is hap
py to escape without reduction. An
amount of business much in excess of
former seasons is now On the order books
of the iron establishments of the coun-
try. The anxiety to escape foreign COM
petition at home will lead to low prices
throughout the year.
Enterprise is now more particularly
directed to the increase of facilities for
producing Bessemer steel, the uses of
which are multiplying rapidly. Several
new works are projected. The demand
exceeds the supply. The steel rails are
unable to meet the wants of incoming
customers, and orders 60 to foreign
mills for summer and fall delivery. This
scarcity is compelling a resort to iron
rails, in which large and increasing
business is being done
The blast furnace production contin
ues at its maximum limit, and the de-
mand is such as to render any accumu-
lation of stocks, except for inferior
grades, very slow operation. The in
dustry is addressing itself to the PROC
lem Of getting cheaper ores and cheaper
fuel as a remedy for narrow margins.
The current production is sold largely
ahead at fixed prices, hence fluctuations
are less probable.

What VIII the Crons Be2

Already the foreteller of the grain
crop of the coming season is the field.
They are numerous; and the opinions
given out are about as varied as the
number of Observers. Some are very
sure that the prospects for a great crop
was never more encouraging than at the
present time, while others see nothing
but blight and mildew in the distant
future. We would submit that as yet il
is premature to make predictions as to
what the grain crop of 1881 is to be. A
considerable portion of the winter wheat
belt is not in condition to be judged Of
A large portion of the spring wheat sec
tion is too deeply covered with snow to
say how much will be in condition for
spring seeding. As far as can be judged
at the present time tile outlook for
crop equal to the past year is not Ell
eouraging.-New York Indicator.
