The Duke of Argyl has received a
present of wild turkeys from America,
which he intends to try and breed at
Iverary. The Duke of Cumberland
tried to introduce them into Windsor
park; and in the reigns of George l..

Richmond park, but the breed became
extinct.
Anew York correspondent names
twenty-one milhonaires who have died
in that city within the last few years,

MARRIAGE AID ASSOCIATIONS.

Among the very sensible associa-
tons recently organized in different
places in the United States, are mutual
marriage associations. The idea seems
to have originated in London, where
the parent association is a aourlshing
one. 1t is virtually an insurance on
marriage instead of death.
Such an association has been organ
lied in Dallas, in our state, and also in
New Orleans. The association in New
Orleans is headed by Gov. McEnery,
and embraces some of the leading cit
liens of New Orleans.
The Times-Democrat says of the
association:
The object of the association is ito
afford pecuniary aid to young men and
women when they assume the respon-
sibilities of married life, time when,
above all others, they generally need
such aid, and, subsidiary to this, its
purpose is to promote industry, econ
omy and morality"
1t is chartered for 90 years and has
a perpetual succession. Its officers
and directors, as above, are prominent
and weI-known citizens, whose high
character and eminent standing in both
business and social circles IS an ample
guarantee of the good faith and fair
ness with which the affairs of the
association will be conducted, and
they are determined that it shall be a
benefactor to society.
1t differs from other mutual lnsu-
rance organizations chiefly in this:
The policies are made payable upon
the marriage of a member, instead of
upon his death; and, in order to place
the benefit of the association within
easy reach of all worthy young people,
it is divided into three classes, and
upon the marriage of a member all the
Others contribute to the payment of
his policy, each one according to his
class.
In class No. I the minimum policy
is $500 and the maximum policy ST.,
200. If member who holds policy
in this class marries at any time after
the expiration of six months from the
time after he became a member, his
policy will aggregate $50 per month
for every month of his membership un.
til it reaches its maximum, $1,000,
when its growth will cease. But If he
marries within "a months, his policy
will amount to $50 per month from the
time he became member to that OF
his marriage, when he ceases to be a
member of the association.
The same plan is carried out in clas-
ses 2 and 3, only with the difference
that in class the minimum policy is
5000, PAYABLE on the marriage of a
member after the expiration of nine
months, and the maximum policy 3d.
400, payable on his marriage within "a
months, after which time the growth
of the policy ceases. In class 8, the
minimum policy is $1,000, payable on
the marriage of a member after the ex-
piration of IL months, and the MAXI

Cath III the Chicago Times of the
9Th devotes three columns to the career
Of Senator David Davis and the prob
ability Of his becoming an independent
or democratic presidential candidate ir
1884. He prcfaces the history Of the
senator's career with ne following re-
marks, which our ,-3lers will admit are
very near tn" truth: 1T is with this
idea in my mind that l make a few
notice. nf the only independent senator
j.. lie senate where the largest element
of the American people, namely. the
ndepcndent, have no other rcpresen-
tative. The new generation that has
come upon the stage in America is but
little in sympathy with either ofthe pre-
vailing parties. Tne young man who
was born when the southern confed-
cracy began, or when the union was
restored, or even when Grant became
president, has either been a voter at
least once. or looks forward 10 his vote
in very little time. What connects
him with either of the prevailing po-
litical parties, unless he has early loved
the company Of politicians and joined
some mongrel priminary concern? Sup
pose he is a thinking man, looking
around him to make his bed with patri-
OTIS, does he not hesitate? Yet old par
ties Will hold on until they get a power
ful admohition, such as common defeat,
at the han,s Of some person they had
no fears Of Then they hegin to think,
and the rest Of the country begins to
breathe"

A Horrible End.

Sioux Falls, Dakota, July, l3.-Thomas
Egan was executed here at 9:35 this
morning, FIR the brutal murder of his
rirc, in September, 1880. The rope
broke at the first fall, and the trap was
again arranged and the body carried
back. Another rope was adjusted about
his neck, and the body allowed to gr.,fr
ally slide through the opening, after
which it was drawn up, and tie final
fal! given. The moose which broke was
procured by the sheriG' rom responsible
parties at lincoln, Neb., where it had
been used for the same purpose. EX-
animation shows that it was rotten be-
tween the strands. and unable to endure
the great ~ir-ir, RI w;iiril IL was subject
ed. The prisoner, having partakcn Of a
heavy sup per, went TO his cell at dusk
last evening, and appeared not in the
least concerned as to his fate which
awaited him on the morrow. The death
warrant was read to him at 920 II. m.,
after which the sheriff went into the cell
and pinioned the convict's arms, and he
was brought forth. At 9:34 he was
placed on the drop. He stood as stolid
as at any time since the murder was
committed. At 9:35 a. M, the sheriff
sprang the trap, and the pinioned body
dropped through the opening distance
Of FIVE and half feet. The moose snap
ped with a report like a percussion-cap
The victim fell with his feet on the
ground, and whirled half round and fell
on his face and stomach. The attendants
quickly grasped the body and placed it
in position on the platform. it took
bat a moment to rearrange the drop,
during " iiic!i Sine the cnlnrit gave forth
a loud, stertoriouS gurgling, which was
enough to shatter the nerves Of those
who heard it. A second time a moose
was placed about his neck, this one
being composed of manila. On account
Of the intense excitement which prevail
ed among the parties taking part in the
execution, the trap was sprung while
some one had hold Of the rope, arrang-
ing it, which caused the body to slide
down slowly. 1t was Immediately haul
ed up, and the trap again arranged, and
at 1914 the trap dropped the third time.
At 9:46 the pulse had ceased TO beat
The body was then lowered and placed
in the casket. The toard and rope with
which Mrs. Egan was slain were buried
with him this afternoon.

Stanley Beaten by a Frenchrnan

New York, July 9.--The French Geo
society in few days will fete
M. Savergnau de Brazza, the Frenchman
who has stolen a march on Stanley and
made the Congo virtually French
river. Everybody knows the Importance
of the Congo since Stanley made his
famous voyage. But for one thing it
would be the finest waterway in nature.
Just before it reaches the sea it breaks
into dangerous cataracts, which render
all direct approach from the coach i'm
possible. The Belgian association which
fitted out Stanley's expedition was form
ed especially to find way to turn this
difficulty. The river begins to be navig-
able only at Stanley pool. How to reach
Stanley pool, Stanley could think of no
better way than to cut road from the
seaside by the cataracts into the pool,
and $l,500,000 was subscribed for this
purpose. Stanley set valiantIy to work,
cut his road, and transported his steamer,
and at length came in sight of the pool,
only to find some fifty vessels flying the
French flag in quiet possession. The
truth is, Nj. Savergnau de Brazza has
found shorter way to the pool. Near
the mouth Of the Congo lies the French
possession Of Gaboon, and in this direc-
ton de Brazza began looking after afiiu.
ents Of the great river which might lead
him all the way to the pool by water
He went up the River Ogovue and found
that this was separated only eighty kilo'
meters from another entirely unknown
river, the Alma, which flows right into
the pool. The Stanley roadway from
the coast was 240 kilometers long: the
roadway between Ogovue and the Alma
was but eighty. De Brazza kept his own
counsel, came back to France, obtained
vote in aid from parliament, went out
again, and made such good use Of his
time that long before Stanley arrived ht
had seized the pool in the name Of the
French, concluded treaties with Nhs

Hollow Horn.
From the Practical Farmer.

There is no disease as ."Hollow
Horn" or "Hornail," in cattle pa
thology. When cattle get run down
or starved out and are weak and
sick, ignorant cattle doctors not
knowing what the trouble is, call it
Hollow Horn, because their horns are
not SO warm as they would be under
better treatment and with richer
blood. But there really is no such
disease, and hence, boreing their
horns and splitting tails, is the mer-
est quackery and humbug. Intelli1
gent farmers will not allow such treatS
ment of their stock. Good SHELTER,
warm blankets. rich food, salt aud
coperas (sulphate of irony are the
proper remedies for the bad condi>
ton Of health called "Hollow Horn"

to protect the developed shoots from
late frosts and from drying while the
young roots are taking firm hold upon
the soil, which has first been suitably
fertilized. Dipping the base of the
cuttings as they are taken from the
hot bed in a rich wet compost, suit.
ably prepared, before taking them to
the field, and not removing them
from 1t until at the point of planting,
will also have much advantage. This
can be done by carrying them to the
field in tubs or buckets partially
filled with this compost. l see no
reason why the same may not be
done with advantage when planting
the easy-rooting European varieties.
A short cutting, so planted that the
top is covered with light, fine earth,
and that the base is not too deep,
but within the influence of the
warmth OF the sun, will make finer
developmentthan when long cuttings
are so deep that the roots at the base
develop poorly, and part projecting
into the air is subjected to drouth and
cold. Many plant their cuttings 100
deep, poor roots being the general
result, and ottimes failure, resulting
from the unequal conflict between
the bursting buds, which dry up in
the air before the roots can nourish
them. No precise rule, however, as
to the depth of planting can be made,
on account OF the different character
istics OF the soils. Experience and
the exercise OF sound judgment only
can determine what shall be the depth
Of planting. The long cutting, the
base of which is bent horizontally in
the bottom of a hole twelve to four
teen inches deep, succeeds well in
light, dry soils but | have noticed
failures in moist adobe and cold
lands. Cuttings planted too deeply
produce plants OF slow truitage.
