What Crane aaYa.

WARRINGTON, January 19.-Referring to
a statement contained in a Boston Ne1s
item late last night, TO the effect that Sena-
tor Hoar's securing the support of the Grape
men was the result of a forgery, the National
Republican this morning publishes an inter-
view with Grape, obtained at 2:30 o'clock
pm, in which he says: Il did not know
there was to be any meeting of my friends.
have not seen any Boston papers, and do
not know the nature of the dispatch alluded
to. ! sent several dispatches" "But," said
the reporter, "did you send dispatch re-
questing your friends TO vote for Mr.. Hoar"
NO." answered Grape, 81 sent no such dis
patch"
GOV. RIoE's OPINION.
Senator Hoar's election and the alleged
forged Grape telegram are the topics OF dis
cussion at the capital to-day. The friends
of Grape denounce the theory Of forgery.
Sow. Rec says: "Crapo told me he had
elegraphed his friends TO throw their
siength for Hoar, and there is not word Of
trsth in the rumor of a forged dispatch"
NGcross says Grape read the dispatch to
hin, II was not in its terms dictatorial,
but implied that he would not feel sggrieved
if thse supporting him should deem it adj
visabh to vote for Hear.
STANDS ON A TECHNICALIIY.
Notwithstanding Hears assertion that
Grape informed him that he (Crapo) sent q
dispatch influencing his friends to transfer
their votesto Hoar, Grape appears to stand
on technhality, saying he sent no dispatch
| requesting DR. demanding the transfer Of
| votes. His friends, who read the dispatch
however, say here is no doubt but that it
language prompted such transfer.
10 FORGERY
Later.-Crapo lenies the allegation of for
gerry, and says fe had informed Senator
Hosr that he (Cralo) sent dispatch which
Influenced his friend to transfer their vote
10 him (Hoar).

Liquid Manure.

1t is matter of great surprise that
so many farmers allow the liquid con-
tents of their barnyards to be washed
away into creeks and rivers instead of
utilizing it in fertilizing their land.
Nor will it ever be otherwise until
proper means are taken to prevent it.
There certainly would be no great
trouble in doing so. All that is ncces-
sary is TO dig round pit or cistern of
sufficient size just outside the barn
yard, and wall it up with stone, firmly
embedded in cement mortar TO make it

Pnre-Bred stock.

Asarule pure-bred stock is not the
most profitable for farmers to keep.
Many who have triSl TO breed herd Of
pure blood animals have failed. The
cost to begin with is large. The writer
recently visited herd of Jersey cattle,
so.Anf the9ows in which had cost
many ftfndreds of dollars. The pro-
duct in flesh and milk from these ami
mails is not so much over that of the
grade COW as to warrant the prices
paid. The management that such
close bred stock requires is much
greater than that Of grade stock; that
is crosses between the pure blood and
the native stock. Pure blood animals
and herds, like the one above men.
toned, are Of value as breeding
centres, from which the great mass of
common stock can be built up. At a
low estimate the value Of the grade
product can be raised $15 or $50 each,
the first season. 1t may be that far
mer with large herd of grades thus
produced can afford to keep two OF
three pure blood animals for further
Improvement Of the herd, but in many
cases 1t will be better to replenish the
pure blood from one Of the centres OF
such stock. It is a national blessing that
l..fancy farmers" as they are sometimes
called, are pleased to make such large
investments in pure blood stock, for by
this means the supply of any breed is
kept up. 1t would be calamity II

The Massacre of the MameInkes.

inc mhbhhcTe Oh tne MHmclHhfss
The Citadel, Cairo, was in 1871 the
scene of the massacre Of the last of the
Mamelukes by Mohammed Ali, deed
of base treachery, but Of consummate
and successful policy; coup detdt, in
fact. The Mamelukes had risen from
the position Of slaves to that Of sui
tans. The Circassian dynasty pro-
duced a race Of military princes who
waged war with the Ottoman sultans.
The last but one, Sultan Ghoree, was
slain in ba'"S II Syria, and his success
sor, Toman By, was routed on the
plain between Cairo and Heliopolis.
He was taken captive and hanged, and
his head stuck on the malefactOrs' gate
way, Bah Zooaylen. Though the SUI
prcme power had thus passed away
from them, the Mameluke aristocracy
still maintained their ancient valOr,
till their brilliant cavalry was routed
by Napoleon at the battle of the Pyra-
mids and but small remnant left.
These Mameluke mobiles had helped
Mohammcd Ali to the Pashalik, but it
is supposed that they had changed their
minds, and were plotting to destroy
him. At all events, having used them
as the ladder of his ambition, he found
1t cXpedicnt to get rid Of them. lie
therefore invited them all to represent
within the citadel. when a Pasha was
TO be invested with some military
command. Four hundred and seventy
Of these magnificent beings accordingly
rode mp in great state. but when they
turned 10 depart they found the gates
closed and from every corner a muir
dcrous fire of musketry raincd upon
them. From this horrible carnage one
alone escaped, namely, Amyn Bcy,
who forced his horse to leap the ram
part, a fall Of forty feet. Happily he
lighted on a heap Of rubbish, and
though the horse was killed, the man
escaped, and giving himself into the
care Of the Arabs, found protection
during the ensuing days, when the
houses of Mamemkcs were plundcrcd,
and all their relations, numbering about
1000, We're murdered. and the gate Of
Bah Iooaylch literally covered with
those ghastly trophies, the heads Of the
slain. It is said that from this final
massacre one other man escaped. Sulci-
man Aga by name, who disguised
himself in the long blue robe of an
Arab woman. and thus yc.lrd. escaped
his foes. This man had been the
Pasha's prime fayortc, and the story
goes that. without showing any special
disgust At hi, friends trcachcry. he re-
turned 10 his post uf flyor.tc, and even
repeated the little Joke Of dressing up
as an Arab damscl. who appearing be-
fore his highncss rs as a suppliant.
