A REAL FRIEND.

Commend me to that generous heart
Which like the pine on high,
Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every change of sky;
Whose friendship does not fade away,
When wintry tempests blow,
Butlike the Winters icy crown
Looks greener through the snow.
Oh. such Il friend lie is in truth,
Whateer his lot may may be,
4 rainbow on the storm of life
An anchor on its sea.

IL people who are troubled with
colds would make use of Ayers Cherry
Fectoral before attending church or
public lectures, they would avoid cough
ing, and the comfort of hearers and
speaker would be greatly promoted.
The Pectorals enables public speakers
to speak clearly and without fatigue,
having an immediate and wonderful
effect in increasing the power and
feasibility of the voice.

1t was lately asserted by Vermont
paper that man of that State has
been allowed 81 800, under the Arrears
of Pensions act, for injuries received
by falling off an army wagon when he
was so drunk that he could not keep
his seat. No doubt a great many of
the cases arising under this act are
genuine; but many others were pre-
sumably delayed beyond the liberal
time originally allowed by Congress,
and afterward once extended, for fling
claims, simply because the applicants
did not recognize themselves as entitled
to anything. It is no wonder that this
legislation will lead to the expenditure
of half a billion dollars.

GOING WEST !!

In making arrangements to move from
your old to your new home, it would be well
to consider what has been done to render
such journey not only cheap, but as pleas
ant and free from accident and danger as
human foresight and skill can make it. By
construction, equipment, and good manage
ment, the Nashville, Chattanooga d. st.
Louis Railway merits your full confidence,
having the very best rock ballast, steel.rail,
fish-bar joint, iron bridges, and most thor
oughly constructed roadway, with air.brakes
and other appliances to secure safety, speed
comfort and sure connections, With its su-
pior through coaches and sleeping cars, 1t
has great advantages over other lines, and it
is enabled to offer the lowest rates which
can be had. few things of interest and
importance we mention for your informa-
ton. fhe question of baggage has always
been troublesome to passengers. The rule
of this line is to check free for each person,
twelve years old and over, one hundred and
fifty pounds of baggage, consisting of wear
ing apparel and bedding, securely packed
in trunks or medium size boxes securely
strapped, and seventy.6ve pounds each for
children between five and twelve years old.
Baggage should be plainly marked with the
name of the owner and the place to which
he goes. Tickets should be purchased from
or through reliable parties, and you should
see that they are by the route and to the
place you want togo before paying for them.
Remember that passengers have the right to
select their routes, and it is the duty of tick
ct agents to accommodate passengers with
tickets by the route they wish to take, when
it is possible for them to do so.
You can secure the cheapest rates to Ar
kansas, Texas, and the great Northwest by

plant. Though very nutritious and
highly relished by cattle, it often pro-
ducesa dangerous swelling called hoven,
from which many COWS die. When
first turned upon clover, cattle should
only be allowed to Craze for an hour or
two, and then driven off for the day,
gradually increasing the time Of the
grazing, until they become less vora-
cious in their appetites, never permit
ting them to run upon clover when wet.
Clover made wet by rain at midday
is more likely to produce hoven than
when wet by dew. Cattle are more
easily affected by clover than horses,
because being ruminants, they take in
the clover rapidly, filling the stomach
at once, without chewing.
Stock should never be turned upon
clover until it blooms. The practice o.
many of our farmers to turn all the
stock upon clover field early in Apri
is very destructive. The crown of thu
clover is eaten out causing it to perish
The tread Of heavy cattle has the same
effect.
An half-acre of clover will suppl,
one COW throughout the months of jun
Inlv and August if mt off and fed il
n stall, while twice the amount in
pasture, will barely subsist COW dur
ing the same period. Soiling Chat
cutting the grass and feeding it green
is very desirable practice, near SINAI
towns, where many persons own smal
lots and desire to keep mich COW
No other grass, perhaps, will produc
a larger flow of milk.

have rarely found an application of
gypsum beneficial upon clayey loans,
hut its effects are very apparent on
strong limestone soils, such as are found
in the Central Basin. On the choco-
late colored soils of Warren, Montgom-
cry, Stewart and Robertson, gypsum
benefits clover very little. Upon the
soils of the Unaka and Cumberland
mountains, it is indispensable to secure
a remunerative yield of foliage. Red
clover has two growing seasons. 1t
makes its most vigorous growth from
the first of April to the 18th of June,
beginning to bloom about the 18th of
May, and attaining its full inhores-
cence about the 1st of June. Usually
it is best after clover has attained its
full bloom either to cut it for hay or
pasture it with stock until about the
first of July. When the stock is re-
moved, or the hay cured and taken off,
and there is rain enough, a second crop
will spring up from the roots. This
second crop is the most valuable fol
seed, the seed maturing about the las
of August, and sooner, if there be CO
pious rains. To make the most abun

should be allowed to grow all it will

TEXT OF SENATOR MoRRILL's SUBSTITUTE
FOR THE HOUSE BILL.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Senator Morrill,
only to-day presented his substitute for the
House bill relating to the entry of distilled
spirits in distilleries and special bonded ware
houses, and the withdrawal OF the same
therefrom. The material amendments to
the bill were agreed to by the committee
this morning, the most important being an
addition to the first section, which makes the
tax payable within five years from the date
of the entry of the spirits into the bonded
warehouses, of the following proviso:
provided, that from and after the expira-
tion of three years from the entry of anY dis
titled spirits into the warehouse, interest at
the rate of five per centum upon the tax
now imposed by law shall be collected and
paid upon all distilled spirits, to be COM
puted until the time of the withdrawal of
such distilled spirits in bond, but no fraction
of month is to be computed"
This amendment met with decided oppo-
sition and was adopted by a bare majority
vote, being 5 to 4. In section z, which pre-
scribes penalties for violations of the act, the
committee agreed to strike out minimum" !"
SO that this section as amended reads: "Fine
of not more than $4,000, and imprisonment
for not more than three years for every such
failure or violation"
The proviso to section i, "That in case of
the death or mental disability of the person
required to make statement and give bond,
his executors, administrator or other legal
representative may do co." is amended by
the proviso, "That the tax shall be collected
and paid in accordance with the existing
law, unless new bonds shall be given for the
thereby extended period in the manner to be
prescribed by the regulations of the secre-
tary OF the treasury"

bank charter bill, and Mr. Hewitt spoke in
favor of the banks, stating that the present
system is the best yet devised by the inge-
nuity OF man.
Mr.. Buckner opposed the pending bill as
being wholly unnecessary. 1t was a delu-
sion and cheat which would not accom-
plish what the country thought it would and
which failed to secure safe and stable circu-
lation. II the national banking system were
to be continued, he favored an amendment
which would let every bank know that it
could not at its mere caprice reduce or in
crease It's circulation.
Mr.. Butterwerth [Ohio.] supported the bill
as required by public policy and by the
business interests OF the country, but in
sisted that the reserves of national banks
should be kept in coin.

recess be taken. The evening session will be

TIE value of the great music festival,
which opened at Cincinnati yesterday, will
be better appreciated BY those of our readers
who take generous interest in musical
matters when they have read the letter Of
our New York orrespondent-a letter which
though belated because it was mislaid, will,
on account OF Maierna's appearance yester-
day, have all the freshness of 4 record of
that latter performance OF the renowned
singer. The picture herein given of the great
Materna is complete and the criticism of her
powers as one of the worlds best singers
is generous but fair and accurate. The
furore which she excited in a city where
Adelina Patti and Gerster had SO recently
been heard, and where memories of Parepa
and Titiens are cherished and treasured,
proves that our correspondent is correct in
her judgment, which last night in Cincinnati
was reinforced By the applause of the people
of the great musical center CT the West. The
Waguerian priestess, a queen of song, an
actress of wonderful dramatic intensity and
fire, Materns seems 10 be the natural product
OF the age and time which produced one of
the creates, master of harmony, the creator
OF the Niebelungen csclup.
