Ia closing this part of my reply, confess it

clearly and pre- ecisely. If he offered my name
to any convention, he did it on his own author

the organization, without injuring myself
Any other theory places him in an odious ght

or heart. If he fees so aggrieved a. my reply

feel sorry that his mind does not dwell longer
on the motive that impelled that GRADY inter

In Washington, did it become necessary to
strike me down among my neighbors and
friends? Am still in the way? Although he
proposes to fight his friends instead of his enc

harm to remind him

portant state papers of modern times, is to be
found in the following sentences italy
will soon be obliged to give back to the
pope his scepter, to look out for another city
wherein to fix her capital, leave the pope master
OF Rome, and come to AZ understanding with the
holy see She will be forced
TO do 80 by reasons of state
by public conscience, by European pressure,
by the uneasiness and discomfort of the popu
lation, and by the instinct of self preservation.
Thus reconciliation between the pope and Italy
would take place without any hurt, without
any foreign armies, without any violence.
Italy will by and by draw back and leave the
pontiff the free and independent ruler of 200,
advantage to the Italian nation by sovereign
popei in Independent Italy. Let Italy be recon
ciled with the pope, and the pope free in free
Italy, and this will be the strongest
guarantee tf oar in dependence
The manifesto has produced power

courts.

of being the leader of 8 band which had com

Rayages Of Chicken Thieves.

The exploits of chicken thieves in the
south have served as the basis of many an
amusing story, but according to the vicks-
burg Herald this species of deviltry has
reached, in Mississippi, q point at which it
is discourteous to laugh. After mentioning
the capture of thief who confessed to
stealing no fewer than 54 fowls of various
kinds, the Herald solemnly continues as
follows: aThe above is specimen of the
state of affairs, in respect to chickens and
other fowls, that exist in every town and
city in the state. The money that is sent to
the west every winter from this section to
pay for eggs and fowls is no inconsiderable
a mount, and it is crying shame that enough
of them cannot be raised in this favored
climate to supply the needs of the limited
population. But the chicken. thieves rem
der it impossible. Therefore, would it not
be we'll for the Legislature in its considers
ton of small things, to pass q stringent
law for the punishment Of chicken -thieves2
The law making it penitentiary offence to
steal q hog seemed to have most salutary
effect; and there should be stringent laws
for the punishment Of the stealing of any
kind Of stock, and of fowls as well.

Two Persons Killed and Over Twenty Injured.

The st. Louis express (Flying Dutchman)
from St Paul, on the Dubuque division Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul railway, met
with an accident at bridge SO, near Lansing,
Monday, in which two passengers were killed
and twenty more or less injured. A heated
axle expanded and burst front wheel on the
truck Of the smoking car. The engineer felt
something give way aud said, 1--WE are drag
gipg." Just then the bell cord breks and the
CARS began to roll and pitch
in fearful manner. The smoker
was turned clear over twice

killed outright; the frontal bone being smashed
in. Mrs. Donahue WAS on her way to her hus-
band in California with her four small children.
The sleeper was thrown off at one end and
stopped fortunately, before falling off the
bridge
The engine was at once stopped, which was
running about eighteen miles an hour. Adams
and the engineer ran back to the wrecked cars
and found one on fire from cushions which had
been thrown upon the heated stove. Adams
broke hole in the ice on the river and dipping
up water in pot, put out the fires once, thus
saving many lives, no doubt, by his presence
Of mind. The flames were iesping, and would
soon have been beyond control. Aided by the
engineer aud others, Mr.. Adams at once began
to Eeip people out of the cars. All were taken
out cf the doors, and none found pinioI ed I'M

Ex-A,torney General Devens Opinion.

A Boston correspondent Of The New York
World asked ex-Attorney General Devens his
opinions regarding the land grants. Gen. Dey-
ems said:
In relation to all of these time grants, my
opinion is this; When company receives a
grant OF land on condition of completing the
road, or stipulated portion of il. in a given
time, if at the expiration of thas time the road
is not finished according to stipulation. then
cons sress has the right to step In and recall its
grants; but if it does not do this and permits
the company to go on and complete the road, it
has 10 redress and the grant is confirmed as
much as II the road had been completed at the
REQUIRED time. s1t is just as if,'' continued the
judge with smile sI should sell you lot Of
ground on the stipulation that you should put
up blacksmith shop on it within q year. AT
the end Of the year, if no blacksmith shop has
been built, have the right to occupy the land
and turn you ont; and if | don't do it and al
low you to remain and build your shop the next
year, then I am estopped frem troubling you.
This has always been my opinion, and believe
it is correct in law and in strict accordance with
repeated decisions of ths supreme court OF the
United States

Mr. Day expressed the opinion that southern
seed was the best but the northern syrup was
sweeter than that produced in the south. Other
delegates announced their intention Of procuring
southern seed for the next seasons plantings.
Prof. Porter stated that the sorgho and emphee
seeds were liable to hybridi2e with broom corn
il the fields afe located within hslf mile of
each other. Mr.. Harris of LII Crescent coin
cided with Prof Porter in declaring the un
mistakable advantage found in selection of
plump seeds and sound stalks in
ihe rotation of crops Governor Colman
could not be as well perfected here rs in Mis-
souri, because it was foreigner IN the land.
A great improvement in the yields would follow
assiduous CIVILIZATIONS such as is devoted to
hemp and other crops. Southern cane seed
will prove advantageous to the farmer of Min
nssota and the north, and the utmost care in
the selection of seed win prove profitable. Mr.:
Sheer. of La Crosse county. Wis, recommended
the earliest planting possible, and coming up
before the grass there is no trouble in hoeing
the young cane, early planting making from
one third to ona-half difference in the yield of
juices.
SECOND DAY
Ex-Gov. Coleman, Of St. Louis delivered
au address in reference to the growth Of the
cane, he felt that of all classes of farm crops
this should be the leading one. Ii should re-
ceive the first attention instead of the last, for
Soou cane produced So0d syrup ana good
sugar. To say nothing Of the value of the
amber cane for syrup and sugar, the plant it
self paid handsome profit for the seed alone
for feeding. 1t was also q fertlzng crop, and
the land grew richer and richer each year on
which it was grown. He cited in il
lustration of this the opinion of
Messrs. Kenny, Farmer and others. He
spoke of q case where man sowed sor-
gaum seed for forage, aud got SO good crop
that he concluded to make It into syrup. He
got2O0 gallons to the acre of fine syrup He
commended it very highly rs forage crop 1t
was being discovered all over the country that
there was nothing equal to it for fattening stock.
1t was unequaled for feeding to milch cows,
increasing their milk fully one third over other
feed. He looked for the time not far distant
when We shall make sugar by the million and
million pounds. In time the central factory
system will come into use; for as long as we
are mixing money as We are now there is not
80 mu.h need for them.
THE PRODUCE
President Kenney requested all the members
present to hand in on slip Of paper tn amount
OF syrup they had made during the year, and
the quantity now on hand The following was
the result:

so bold and clear in its statements, and carried
with it such an air of authority, that it was at
