ACCORDING to the London correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, the utterances Of Mr.. Henry
George are seized on with avidity by certain En-
glish politicians. Thus Mr.. Richards, future Con-
sentative candidate for Northampton, quotes Nj.
George on American institutions as follows: 1.-THE
ordinary citizen has no more influence in the Gov
eminent under which he lives than he would have
in China. The experiment of popular government
in the United States is clearly failure"

Buiwer Lytton's Home.

The house itself, picturesque enough
even at distance, is doubly so when
seen close at hand, though the painted
cupolas and gilded spires suggest Rus
sian church rather than an English
manor house, and the incongruous wing
lately run out from one end of it im-
presses one like the half transformed
figures in Ovid, with the horns of stays
or the claws of spiders projecting from
human body. But the sternest critic
could find no fault in the ivy-wreathed
arch of the gateway, the vast cathedral
like windows, the clustering pinnacles
and the quaint semi-ecclesiastical archi-
lecture, which gives it the look of some
grand old historical college in Oxford
or Cambridge. Nor could Sir Walter
Scott himself have wished finer stage
for one of his striking situations than
the great hall with its oak panels and its
stained glass windows, filled with the
''dim religious light" that Milton loved,
and hung with banners of every shape
and color, from the pennOn bearing the
name of that Sir Turold who fought at
Hastings down to the Delhi Standard
which was borne in state before his last
descendant as Viceroy of India.
In such a sanctuary of the past the
intrusion of the present seems almost a
sacrilege. You would hardly wonder
to see the two figures in armor that flank
the great fireplace spring up and extend
their spears to bar your way. A bold
man would be he who should watch here
alone till midnight on the last night of
the year, with the gloomy moonlight
turning the shadows of the banners into
threatening phantoms and bodying forth
weird, unearthly shapes from the balus-
trades of the vast oaken gallery which
overshadows full third of the entire
hall. In such circumstances he might,
indeed, like an adventurous Irish friend
of mine who kept watch in haunted
house, "expect every moment the ap-
pearance of an invisible spirit But
amid all these ghostly associations, the
hearty, hospitable cheeriness oi Merry
England breaks forth Enthusiastically in
the inscription which encircles the whole
chamber like a garland, in white letters

Two Venerable Women,

The people of san Gabriel, Texas, go
FAR towards Immortality, and two We
nerable ladies, aged one hundred and
two and one hundred and seventeen
years, as is proved by the church re-
cords, are celebrities to whom the
stranger pays his respects and his silver
pieces. Driving in besides an adobe
hut, buXOm and swarthy lady smiled
at us from over her washtub, and adj
vanced with the sweet ''bisenOS diOSr of
these people. Crossing under her
clothes-lines, We found the ancient
Laura sitting on the ground, with a
faded bed quilt wrapped about her
shoulders. With all her one hundred
and two years, Sonora Laura has not
learned the ways of neatneSs, and sat
abjectly in the dirt, with more dirt and
dust on her struggling black locks. Sc
nora Benjamina, who owns to one hun
dred and seventeen years, lay inside
her miserable hut, with tattered bed
quilt wrapped about her, and her head
sumken in another dirty quilt. Chick
ems scratched and pecked the ground
beside her, hoped OH her prostrate
form, and made the hut ring with their
clucking and growing. At the sug-
gestion of strangers and silver thepoor
old wreck of humanity turned her
wrinkled face towards us, and the
skinny hands were stretched out for
coin. A more revolving and saddening
spectacle cannot he imagined than these
two forlorn and trembling old crea-
lures, shriveled, wrinkled, and withered
as mummies, with bleared eyes, hooked
claws, and thin, trembling voices.

A Serpent in a Shaft.

At this time of the year dangerous rep
tiles are mcst frequently seen IN New
Mexico, and are most aggressive. Recent
ly two prospestors came into SOcorro who
relate a strange experience they had with
a rattlesnake the week before. The par
uculars are downright 'snakey," and but
for the reputation these men bear for Yer
lclty. we would not publish them. in
prospecting about fifteen miles east of La
Joya they found copper float, and separa-
ted to trace It to the lead. One OF them,
Ed Bennett, on reaching small hull, dis
covered an old shaft He fired a shot
to notify his partner and began exp,ora-
tons. the shaft looked to be about forty
feet deep, and about feet distant there was
an incline connecting with it. He pre-
pared TO descend by this. When nearly
at the bottom the loose wash gave way,
and he was precipitated downward. He
shouted out to his partner, and was pre-
paring to look around. when to uis horror
he discovered that his descent had stirred
up a rattlesnake. The blood curdling
warning was rattling horribly IN the silent
hole and caused cold sweat to ooZe from
the prospector's forehead. The glistening
eyes of tue reptile shone upon him In the
gloom, but ne was too unused to the place
to distinguish further. He retreated TO q
corner, and as the shaft was large one
about eight feet square-he had time to
seize rock and prepare himself. The
serpent followed, and springing at him
struck its fangs into the top of his large
prospecting boots, ard coiled about his
legs At this time he could see his sur
roundlngs, and with desperation equal to
the occasion, and before the reptile had
time to Withdraw It's fangs, he grasped its
scaly neck and closed his hand with vise-
ike grasp. Then ensued a contest between
man and reptile, desperation and fury.
The huge serpent alternately frightened its
enemy's leg till the blood ceased to cIrcu-
late, and shook itself ip the vain endeavor
to wriggle from the iron grasp. Its horrid
rattling denoted its furious struggles The
prospector heard the hlsses, could see the
bright greeDlsh eyes flashing fire and feel
the wlgglIng of the scales as he held the
snake, but whether standing or thrown to
the ground or lsshed by the tail of his ag-
gressor, he held his grip. He would occa-
slonaliy yell in the hope OF reaching the
ears of his partner For at least a quarter
of an hour the struggle continued, the
prospector the while growing weaker.
keeping the fangs from his body, but feel
ing thst his enemy was slowly choking to
death. Its lashIng became slow, it writhed
less, and finally. after one last struggle,
was dead.
The prospector continued his yells until
his partner came, being tho weak to rise.
After some trouble he was raised to the
surface, still grasping the serpert with bis
widely dIstended moth and pro,rudinR
fangs. 1t was long tine before he could
renew circulation in his leg. and he il

Crooks Success.

Gen Crook seems to have finished
very thoroughly the work of crushing
the Apaches, which he began some years
ago. BY his former campaign they
were all subdued except parcel of
Chiricahuas, and the work would doubt
less have been completed had not Gen.
Howard arrived on the ground, stopped
the fighting, and made a treaty with
the savages which proved very unfortu-
nate. By its terms the Indians merely
undertook TO keep the peace, and in re-
turn government gave them the use of
a large tract of land in Arizona, on the
Mexican line, with absolute freedom
upon it. Situated in this way, the In
dians broke their promise at the first
opportunity, almost as a matter of
course, and have since kept up con-
slant succession of bloody raids. They
could go into Mexico, kill and burn and
rob until pursued. then return across
the line and scatter SO as to make their
capture and identification practically
impossible, or commit depredations in
Arizona and New Mexico and flee to
the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico,
adjoining their reservation. Finally
the band was ordered to go to the San
Carlos reservation. which lies in Ari-
IONA further north, but only few
obeyed. The Others merely pretended
to move into Mexico, and have since
doged back and forth and carried on
their numbering and pillage with more
ferocity than ever
The war so fortunately ended began
with the murder of Judge McComas
and wife and the capture of their eight
years-old son at Thompson's Canon,
March y. A pursuit at the time was
unsuccessful, and Gen. Crook went to
the Mexican states of Sonora and Chi
huahua, consulted with the military
and civil authorities there, and then
organized force to follow the savageS
into the mountains, the Mexican troops
cooperating. The terms of om treaty
with Mexico do not permit crossing
OF the line by troops except in actual
hot pursuit of Indians, of course Crooks S
expedition plainly overstepped this, and
there was consequently some worrying
by overanXious souls in both countries,
but it is no secret that both governments
knew all about the operation and were
glad to do the necessary winklng. Al
though at last reports Juh, the, most
mischievous of all the numbering horde,
was still at large with some of his band
the capture then made Was so large as
to be conclusive, and doubtless the
others will yet come i'll or be brought
in. Just what will be done with them
remains to be seen, but of course they
will hereafter be kept under some sort
of restraint. Merely as matter of
money, the government could better
affort to keep the whole lot at first
class hotels than to have them rowing
at will again.

Order on the Farm.

Many farmers fail in making the farms
profitable for want of order. Whether On
a small farm where the work is all done
by the owner, or on q large farm where
several hands are employed, there must be
an early and regular hour for rising in the
morning. Each hand or man should know
the evening previous just what he Is TO do
in the morning, and if possible for the en-
tire day. If chores are his first employ
ment, then he can go at them without
waiting for orders. II he is to use a team.
then he can have 1t fed, curried and har-
messed ready. The wagon or implement
be is to use can be oiled and in place ready
to hitch TO. The proprietor must make
stories short to common callers, and yet be
courteous. He can also by j1dicious
system and study of the situation encour-
age any superior CT smbitious help to ex-
eel in their labora Be always at home tc
direct. aid and counsel In all departments.
Discourage all careless and loose practices.
Strive to cultivate good feeling between
lsborer and employer. Have stated times
and rlgidly enforce them, for milking, FOL
commencing the regular work and for re.
turing from the field. Make the farm pro
duce superior crops and raise the bes
stock of all kinds.

solid Facts.

A farmer came into a grocery store
in Chicago the other day and exhibited
to the eyes of an admiring crowd an
enormous egg. about six inches long,
which he avowed to have been laid by
one of his own hens. He had it packed
in cotton and wouldn't allow anyone to
handle it for fear of breaking the phe-
nomenon. The groceryman examined
it with the rest, and, intending to chat
the countryman, said:
''Pshaw, I've got something IN the
egg line that will beat that"
.'I'l bet you five dollars you havn't.
said the cOuntryman, getting excited
Take it up" replied the groceryman,
and going behind the counter he brought
out wire egg-beater. ''There is some
thing in the egg line that will beat it,
guess said he, reaching out for the
stakes.
.'Hold on there said the farmer
''let's see you beat it," and he handed
| it to the grocer. The latter held out
his hand for it, but dropped it in sur
prise ON the counter, where it broke two
soup plates and platter. 1t was oi
solid iron. painted white.
ssSome folks think they're darnatiOr
cute" murmured the farmer as he pock
eted the stakes and Lit out, ''but tainl
no use buckin' against the solid facts.
