PATIENCE ON A 1roNUMENr.
Baron dc Exalb Has Waited One HundroSt
and Three Years for Marble, and Has
Got Nothing hut RESOLUTIONS.

Baron DE Kalb Has Waited One Hundred
and Three Years for Marble, and Has
Got Nothing but Resolutions.
One hundred and three years ago congress
passed Il resolution directing the erection of a
monument at Annapolis to Baron Do Kalb
the hero who came from Franco to help fight
the battles Of the revolution. This original
resolution was not offered by Mr.. McLane, OF
Maryland, but it was renewed by him yester-
day along with q bill asking an appropriation
of$1O,o0O to pay for the monument
Senator Groome, of Maryland, brought the
matter forward in December, 1884, aud there
seems to be a perseverance on the part OF
Marylanders which promises eventual
success. After 103 years it has
been referred to the house com
mittee on naval affairs with plenty of time
ahead for its consideration and revival. The
original resolution apparently contemplated
this delay of centuries, and, to make sure that
tho country would know just who it should
be honoring with monument, perpetuated Il
bit of history by providing that the following
inscription shall be cut in the monumental
stone:
Sacred TO tho memory of the Baron Dc
Kalb, knight OF tho Royal Order of Mill.
tary Merit brgadier of the armies of
France, and major general In the service of
the United states of America. Having
beTNeu Win nOnOr ana reputation 1Oftnfee
years, he gave IA last and glorious proof of
his attachment to the liberties of mankind
and the cause of America in tho action
near Camden, In the state of South Caro-
liha, on the sixteenth of August, 17S0,
whore, leading OH the troops of the Mary
land and Delaware lines against superior
numbers, and animatlng them by his eX-
ample TO deeds of valor, he was pierced
with many wounds, and on the nineteenth
following expired, in the 18th year Of his
age.
The Congress of the United States of
America, in gratitude 70 his zeal, service.
and merit, have erected this monument.
There is an old inquiry unanswered fol
lack of space heretofore, that deserves a re
ply in this connection. One Gray, q respect
able Englishman, asked
"Can storied urn or animated bust,

No. 1t cannot; and if it could it would bt
n very late call to wait hundred years OF
more before building the storied urn, as il
this case. But congress can keep De Kalb'
memory green by resolution, which is perhap
as good as a storied urn or an animated bust

THE CUTTING OF RAILWAY TIES.

An important Decision by Secretary Teller
as TO the Meaning Of " Within the Neigh
borhood."
Secretary Teller has replied to the letter of
Commissioner Mcfarland relative to the
cutting of railway ties by the Georgetown,
Breckenridge, and Loadvillc railway company.
The secretary decides that tho act of March 3,
1876, was passed for the benefit of railways,
and under its provisions timber growing
within the neighborhood of railway affected
by this act, may be cut for ties to bc used in
the construction of the road, although the
land may not be contiguous. What is meant
by "within the neighborhood " must he de-
termined by the circumstances of the case.
If the initial point Is in u section destitute of
timber and no timber grows on the land along
the side Of such road for n considerable dis
tance, il is consistent with the spirit of
the act that the company bo allowed
TO cut timber at or even beyond the
terminus of the road, If timber otherwise
could not be obtained, The right is given to
cut timber, and il is immaterial To the gov
ernment whether it is within one mile Of the
che road or fifty miles distant, The spirit OF
the act is that from the country having the
benefit of the railway the timber must come.
Further, there is no objection to allowing the
agent of the company 10 employ men not
borne on the C0mpany's rolls to cut ties, and
IL is immaterial whether they cut such ties by
the day or for certain price per tie. If a
railway company, however, cut ties ON the
public land and sell them to another railway,
such cutting becomes "A trespass for the right
given is not to cut timber to sell, but to use,
and tho government may proceed against such
company for such cutting and will doubtless
also have its remedy against the road buying
ties so cut, for their value, provided the gov
ernment chose to secure its damages from that
company instead of the original trespasser.

A MISSING STAMP.

It's Disappearance Has Caused Much An1-
iety ut the Bureau OF Printing and En-
craving.
The day the delegation of subrulers from
the bureau of printing and engraving paid the
Office of tho secretary Of the treasury n visit
TO recommend the appointment Of Capt. Bur-
rill to the place made vacant by the death of
Col Irish, somebody made way with or lost a
metal numeral used in the printing of bonds.
Mr.. Peterson, custodian of the vaults which
contain the engravings and plates belonging
TO the bureau, refused to let the thousand
workmen employed in the building 20 until
the missing property was turned up. The
custodian had himself been subjected ODDS
cpline several times previously, in spirit
of persecution, as he claimed, and it was not
without sensation of satisfaction that ho in
sisted on a rigid adherence to the rules which
for once made him commander. Nobody
could leave the building, and as the missing
numeral could not be found, ii began to look
as though the clerks we're in for u night.
About o'clock an order from the secretary
was received directing Peterson to allow the
doors to be opened for the release of the men.
The talk which the incident described gave
rise to led to threats of an investigation, and
T. J. Sullivan, acting chief, announced that
he would insist on an inquiry being made.
Fearing he would not have fair treatment,
and believing himself to be the victim of u
plot which was to eliminate in his discharge,
Peterson demanded n representative on the
commission. of inquiry, and as he showed
his teeth rs demand was listened to. The
commission as formed consists of man
from the bureau, ono from the loan
division, and ono from the redemption
division. The result of the investigation will
be looked forward to with considerable in
terest, and it would not surprise the knowing
ones if something is not developed during il
progress which will explain Sullivan anxiety
TO have Capt, Burrill appointed over him
The bureau is pregnant with gossip these
days.

Chief Cronin mentions the terrible conhagra-
tion in Milwaukee, and also the fire ut the

stable to the west of the printing Office should
be removed, as ii is dangerous. A handsome
acknowledgment Of the services in colltribut-

A RaIsing OF the Yellowstone Park En-
terprisc on Personal Grounds.
In a communication presented to the senate
by Senator Saunders yesterday, Gov. Crosby,
of Montana, writes: Mr. Hatch arraigncd
me by name for regarding the interests of

side over and accuses me of posing as pub

An Addition to Aesthetics.

The second assistant postmaster general has
had furnished him a fire screen which is a
"daisy in its way, and marks the aesthetic
progress of the literary department Of the
government. On circle of blue satin is
painted an exact portrait of the famous race
horse FalsettO" at full speed, with rider
on his back. This is copy of the department
seal: The circumference Of this circle is
touched at every point by circular ring, the
outer and inner lines Of which, painted in
ashes of roses color, represent the steel rails of
the two lines is another circumference of gold
stars, representing the star service. The body
of the screen is Il rich russell brown, and tho
outer edges OF the ring are ornamented by
arabesques in bright crimson, The entire

b iTrin.mine Apple Trees.

Experience is the mother of wisdom.
There are different opinions among
farmers about the proper time for trim
ming apple trees. The main object
ought to be to tim IN that season of the
year when the wound win entirely heal
over, or the tree Is ruined, sooner or
later. If that ,object is, not accom-
plishedth waferS entefs and hole is
rotted intorthe trunk; it becomes hollow
and is destroyed. III
=, Some trim in early spripg;-the sap
forces Itself out OF the wodnd In abun-
dance, runs down on body or larger
limbs; the bark turns back and often
dies. and the trees are permanently in
jured. Another follows the opposite
extreme and prunes in August, or even
in early winter, when the sap has
turned into the wood; the wound does
heals slowly, if at all, and Q tree with
holes in it Is a final result II the bark is
entirely peeled OF the tree from the
roots to the limbs, in the longest days
of midsummer, which are Somewhere

accidentally taken of where the limb
has been removed, it will entirely heal
over if the limb removed is not too
large and the growth is sufficient for
that purpose. The sap of the tree Is
not too thin to run out and blacken the
tree, as in early spring, nor too thick
and already formed into the wood, and
the wound comparatively dry; both
wood and bark as in later pruning are
not stopped In farther growth over the
wound. Many farmers, as q general
thing, prune an orchard without discre-
ton, saving off too large limbs, that
can never heal over, 'oftentimes cutting
them OF some inches from the trnnk Of
the tree or the larger limbs from which
they are removed; the stub of the limb
will die to the body and the further de-
cay of the tree is sure.
In pruning of too much the natural
equilibrium between the roots and the
top is. destroyed and the body Of the
tree viii come out in suckers or
sprouts. 4 Such ignorant farmers had
better cut their trees down and
| trim them afterward, which is
| easier done, and with more profit 10
themselves, as the ground could be en-
ployed for some better purpose. II a
limb is' dead there is no option; it must
be cut off close to the tree; the only liv-
ing limbs that should be cut of are the
small ones that win heal over, coming
from the larger branches in the, inside
of the top (and those that cross and gall
each other). thereby letting in more
sun to the apples to give them . better
color and give the picker q better
chance in the tree. Everything beyond
this is superfuous, and pruning had
better be dispensed with altogether.
Many fine orchards receive their death
warrants from such i'll pruning every
year.-N H. Pufriot

The quiet fidelity with which wom-
an will dish wash her life away for her
husband and children is q marvel of
endurance. Here is the servitude, OF
woman heaviest-no sooner is her work
done than it requires 70 be done again.
Men take jobs, work ON them, finish
them, and they are over for good and
all The prospect Of ending them and
drawing pay for the labor is allurihg,
but no such a1lurements are held out
for. the wife She washes Monday after
Monday the same garments. until there
is nothing more Of them to wash; then
j they are replaced by others OF new ma
terial lust IKE them, and the rubbing
and wringing goes on forever. She
mends the stockings with tireless fdel-
ity, the same holes meeting her gaze
week after week, for If there Is darned
place in a sock ..hen invariably puts his
irrepressible toe through it Every
morning the rooms are put in order,
Tonly to be in the widest disorder by
the time night falls. There are no jobs,
each one different, no terms, no pay
day. The same socks, the same wash
ing. the same room every time. There
is too little brightness in the lives OF
women in the country. They have too
little help in their domestic occup ions.
The nurse in q house where there
is q baby to care for ought TO be set
down as one Of the regular expenses,
as much as the potatoes for the family.
"A. mothers health, both Of body and
mind, is worth more than additional
acres Of land or finer live, stock The
heart shouldnot be allowed TO grow old.
Life should not have lost its charm, the
heart It's spirit and the. body its elastic
ity at forty years. And yet how many
women are faded and wan, and shat
tered in mind and health, long before
they are forty. All the Joy of life isl
in youths morning. If we so will it,
we can to the last moment of life be al
least negatively happy.-Erchange.
