The New Colorado senator.
WHAT JUDGE BELFoRp SAYS.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Judge Bel
ford was asked tonight his opinion as
to the appointm ent by Governor Pit
kin, of Colorado, of Mr.. Chilcott, to be
United States senator. He said 81
fear Governor Pitkin has made mis-
take in the appointment. Mr.. Chill
colt is g gentleman of most genial tenn
per and elegant social habits, but he
was not candidate for the senate.
There were three strong candidates
Tabor, Routt and Bowen, and if he
were wise he would have allied him
self to the one or the other Of these
men. Chilcott will perhaps serve out
Mr.. Tellers term, but Governor Pitkin
will not gain seat in the senate by
ignoring leading men in the party, like
Tabor, Routt and Bowen. Any one
of these gentlemen would have been
more acceptable as Teller's successor
than Chilcott; and the appointment Of
this gentleman was, 10 my judgment, a
mistake which Pitkin will fully realize
before the expiration of the present
congress"

Preparation of Tobacco Beds.

In raising crop of tobacco, the frs
thing is good seed. An early plant
should have been selected last summer
and the leaves and suckers kept off,
and when seed balls turned brown, tax
en- to cool, dry place, and kept till
ready for sowing. The varieties cult
waited in Southeastern Ohio are the
White Burley and the Maryland thick
set. The latter produces a very large,
heavy leaf and yields large number
of pounds per acre, but being full Of
sap, and a late variety, is not adapted
to air-curing. The White Burley ripens
early has a very thick leaf, is always,
when properly handled, a bright tobac-
c., and commands the highest price
Not being 80 full of sap, it cures easily,
and keeps in bulk Or hogshead longer
time. 1t is used in home market for
cigars and smoking tobacco, while the
thics-set is exported to France and Ber-
lin.
In Wisconsin the varieties grown arc
the broad-leaf and the Spanish, to the
exclusion of all other varieties. Hav-
ing elected the variety, the next thing
is the seed-bed. Just rs soon as the
ground ID dry enough in the spring, the
location of the beds should bs selected
and burned. The ground should be
cleared off, if cd, dig up, and brush or
logs burned thereon till all weed and
grass seeds are destroyed. Much de-
ponds Oh this operation, rs too much
burning destroys the vitality of the soil
and leaves too many ashes, and too lit
tie burning allows weeds and grass to
take possession. A good plan is to have
the seed-beds in as many different loca-
tons as possible, and on as great va
riety of soils as is convenient. Some
should be sown on dry soil and others
on damp soil; some in shade and some
in the sun; some on north and south
hillsides.
The above suggestion will always Sc
cure plants in some of the beds, and
make the grower certain of crop,
planted in good time. On beds burned
early in the season, the ground should
be allowed to cool off before sowing,
but on late-sowed beds the seed should
be soaked in warm water and sowed
while the ground is yet warm. Two
tablespoonfuls is sufficient for a bed Is
feet square, and such bed will plant
an acre. When the plants have leaves
the size of pea, they should have an
application of guano or the droppings
of the hennery sifted over them; this
serves as manure, and renders the
plant offensive to the flea that often at
tacks them at this stage. But little is
known of the habits of this little turk"
and he is therefore has the advantage.
1t is contended by some that he does
not fly, and that boards or slabs set
around bed will keep him out. This
| never tried, but it is worthy of trial.
Unless the weather is very showery,
l cut green brush and cover the bed;
this either keeps away the little turk,
or protects and stimulates the plants
so that he can not destoy them.

In American society the mention Of
love Is too often received by young
girls with a blush and a giggle, which
betray the narrow and vulgar meaning
which they attach to the word. 1t is
to them simply Irritation with some
young man, which may or may not
end in n marriage.
1t is the fault OF their mothers if
they are not taught to know and re-
spect that divine quality of devotion
and self-sacritice, which alone can en-
noble woman's lie, and which,
whether it is given to parent, child, or
lover, makes her more akin to her
Master.
II We were asked for typical pic
ture Of love in the present time, we
should choose, not y pretty girl sitting
by 81 moustached youth in the moon
light, but Mary Diller standing by her
old helpless father on the burning deck
of the Sewanhaka, the flames wrap
ping her like garment, and burning
her eyes blind. - Youths Companion.

Gen POrter~ Case
REALLY NOTHING DONE.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Your cor
respondent has taken special pains to
discover the foundation for recently
published allegations as to what the
president intends to do with the Fitz
John Porter case. Those allegations
are not sustained by anything said or
done by Gen. Arthur himself, nor does
there appear to be any information
obtainable from an authoritative source
as to me ideas and probable action Of
the executive on the subject. There il
absolutely nothing extant to warrant a
paragraph, excep. TO say that there Is
much interest manifested in the proba-
be action to be taken by Gen. Arthur.

Daniel BOOue's First Gun.

DR.. G. c. Graham, through Col. Ben
nett II, Young, the president, present
ed to the Polytechnic society, a num-
Der of rare and valuable relics OF the
pioneer times of kentucky, when the
red man disputing the progress west
ward of civilization, colonization was
rendered most hazardous. To the
people of Kentucky no pages of history
awaken more pride than those OF the
early settlement of Kentucky. with
which the names of Boone, kenton,
Bullitt, and others are indissolubly
connected. As an evidence of the
patriotic feeling for those men, it need
only be mentioned that some personal
effects have been preserved from the
misty pages of n past period; and what
greater feeling could be expressed?
Around these historical relics must al
was lincer n foni memory for the men
whose daring bravery and moral cour-
age paved the way for great common
wealth, and this feeling will long be
cherished in Kentucky. The presen-
tation of DIR, Graham gives the poly
technic museum n historical feature
which must commend itself To the peo-
Pile. Among these relics is the first
gun which Daniel Boone brought to
Kentucky, with his shot pouch and
horn, also n huuting-shirt of dressed
buckskin and II vest of fawnskin UNI
dressed, with the original hair and col
or. Col. Whitley's famous gun with
which he fought seventeen battles with
the Indians, and finally fell in the bat
tie Of the Thames in his Goth year, his
waupum, and magnificent powder
norm are included in the doctors gift.
| On silver plate inserted in the breech
of the gun are engraved the names of
| Col. Whitley and his wife. "Old
Butcher" DR.. Graham's own personal
ccmpanloa piece, with which he has
hunted from the time since he was able
To discharge ball, has been turned over
with the other relics. DR.. Graham was
great sportsman in his day, and such
was the confidence in his skill ~ a
marksman that the Boone club Of
which he was II member, banterod
$4,000 against the world. The doctor
has also transferred the sword of ms
companion, Col. Ben. Milan, formerly
of Frankfort, Ky, and known in
Mexican and Texan histories as "the
hero of Kentucky" and "the Leonidas
of Texas" All these, with other inn
plements of early warfare make a
handsome and valuable collection of
relics. To these he has added some of
the early implements of industry with
which our pioneer mothers clothed
themselves and families. These em-
brace big and little wheels, spools,
winding blades reels shuttles, etc. And
last come some manuscript writings Of
the four great philosophers Of England
Charles Darwin, John Tyndall, Her
bert Spencer and Thomas Henry Hux-
ley; also letters Of President Draper OF
New York, Henry Clay, Horace Gree
ley. and very beautiful and feeling
letter from Jefferson Davis, which be-

innrieilOM's MONing.

In 1912 Miss Frances Elizabeth Ap-
pleton was travelling with her father in
Europe. In the same year Professor
Longiellow Was in Germany. He was
then 35 years old, professor of Modern
Languages and Belles-lettres in Har-
ward university. He had married very
early in life, and soon lost a beloved
wife and infant child, whose memory
he cherished to tho last; but he was
not unsusceptiblc to new love, and he
became deeply enamored Of Fannie
Appleton. Mr.. Longfellow was man
Of fine personal appearance, with rare
attalnments in European culture, TO
which he had devoted several years of
travel and study, and he had already n
faric as II poet not confined to America.
But still his suit did not thrive. If not
absolutely rejected, he was not an ac-
cepted lover Both returned to Ameri-
ca. Mr.. Longtellow published his 70
nance Of Hyperion" in which he told
the story Of his loye--he being his own
hero, under the name of Paul Flem-
ming; the heroine, Mary Ashburton,
being Miss Appleton. 1t is in this ro-
nance that the song, 81 know = maiden
fair to see" occurs. The professor fol-
lowed the lady to Lcr summer home in
PittsGeld, and no lady ~hc has read
"Hyperion" and "Kayanagh" will
blame the heroine that she then yield
ed to so passionate a lover. Much of
the scenery and some Of the story of
"Kavanagh" Is derived from Professor
Longfellow's wooing and marriage, al
though no. so closely AS in Hyperion"

nized .-Bos,on Post.

Cameron and Mitchell
A PRETTY BY PLAY IN TIE SENATE

A PRETTY BY PLAY IN TIE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The recent
publications concerning the course
Senator Mitchell, OF pennsylvania, in
tended to pursue toward the Cameron
element has invested the Pennsylvania
representatives with an interest to
spectators which they have hitherto
been innocent OF. Consequently, to-
day, when Mr.. Cameron came out Of
the cloak room and hurried to the seat
adjoining Mr.. Mitchell, there was con-
siderable speculation as to the cause of
of such hurry. Senator Mitchell was
writing letter when the pride of the
Camefons approached him, and in
stinctively, rs if he felt the presence
near him, he quietly looked around
before he was saluted By Don. Stimuli.
taneously he covered the letter, and
turning round,
HE FACED HIS VISITOR,
who opened the conversation in n
somewhat excited manner. There was
nothing of lovial nature in the talk,
for the countenances of both the prin-
cipels wore very serious expressions.
Cameron did the most of talking and
was very emphatic, at times clenching
his fists and gesticulating vigorously.
Mr.. Mitchell took the lecture in meek
manner ana only vouchsafed monosyl-
Liable replies to Mr.. Cameron and an
occasional nod of the head. This scene
was the source OF considerable amuse-
ment to most Of interested spectators
and there was u universal expression
of disapproval when Senator Butler OF
South Carolina interrupted the game
and took Dan out into the lobby for a
quiet chat. Mr.. Mitchell resumed his
letter writing, and when he concluded
found vent for his feelings with cigar
| in the cloak room.
