The OLDEST CONDUCTOR.-The Oldest
railroad conductor in the country in p ill
of active service is said to be William
Coulter, who has charge OF fast trains be.
tween New York and Philadelphia on
the Pennsylvania Railroad. His first
train belonged to the old New Jersey
Transportation Company, and ran be-
tween Jersey City and Newark. That
was in 1910; in 1S47 his run was extend.
ed to New Brunswick, and in 1872 he
wrs nut ia charge of through trains be-
TWEEN New York and Philadelphia. Re-
ferring to his early service Mr.. Coulter
recently remarked: Railroading i'll those
those DAYS was not so comfor table bust
ness for the conductors as it is now. We
were compelled to assist in braking, help
the baggagemaster and not infrequently
lead fight against the roughs who in.
sisted upon riding for nothing. In place
of the splendiuly upholstered saloon cars
now in use, connected with the engine
by bell-rope, and with patent steam
brakes, we ran compartment cars after
the English fashion of to day, with the
passengers facing each other. There was
no cushions nor any backs to the seats. y
The veteran conductor has travelled g.
100000 miles in the line of duty, and
though he is nearly seventy years old, he
looks as if he were good for many years
more of service.

Mrs. FRANCES NJ. SCOvILLE, the sister
of Guiteau, is about to file petition in
the Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court,
praying to be allowed to change her name,
both on her own account, and that of her
daughter, Bertha. Being div &c d
woman, she has the privilege of resuming
her maiden name, but this she does not
desire to do for obvious reasons. She
will, therefore, adopt the name of her
mother, which is Howe.

The orator of the late Army Of the Po-
tomac reunion gave this brief statement
of its losses: From May, 1861, to March,
1864, the losses of the Army of the Poto-
mac were, in killed, 1920, wounded,
IS, $50; captured, 81, 1873; in all IL, 448,
From May !, 1854, to April 8, 1865,

aggregate of 242,750. Adding those who

The total acreage of Scotland is 81,
GAG 694. One single nobleman owns l,
1926 900 acres, and his wife 149, 428. An
other has 421 900 acres, third, 308, 900,
a fourth $4,000. Twelve proprietors own
one.quarter of the whole acreage of the
country, seventy proprietors own one-half.
Nine-tenths of Scotland belong to LOO
persons. Yet the Duke of Argyll asserts
that system of which this is the outcome
is right and proper one. Whilst on one
hand we see these mammoth proprietors,
on the other we are told of crofters
who are starving, and who are evicted
from their poor holdings because they
cannot live and pay the rent which is
cxacted from them.

The following letter written by Miss
Fannie Morley to the editor of. the Amer
lean Dairyman, will undoubtedly prove
interesting to our dairy readers:
Every detail must be transacted with
care. Care in selecting and keeping up
the herd of COWS. Care and Judgment in
feeding. She prefers mixed diet but
good corn as part of the food is very es
soutial. Pure water is Of vital impor-
lance. Careful milking and large, clean,
welI-ventilated stables. No one can sue
coed with small, filthy, ill-ventilated
stables. She refers particularly to winter
dairying. She thinks if these points
were more carefully watched and prac-
ticed by dairymen generally, there would
not be so much trouble making fancy
creamery butter and more money. She
raises the cream by setting the milk in
submerged cans ins ian ice-water bath, so
that the temperature of the atmosphere
does not effect it. The cream is churned
when sour, with the temperature Of the
cream in summer at So degrees and IN
winter about 81 degrees. When the but
ter is in small granules wash it IN cold
salt water, and then salt one ounce to
the pound. Let the butter then stand
five or six hours, when it should be
worked carefully so as not to injure the
grain. Her last remark is to pack and
place upon the market Immediately, and
she winds up her instructions with these
sensible remarks: eff any one likes the
business we'll enough TO put their best
thoughts and care into it they will usu
ally succeed in making fine article and
a good living"

MAY l there were 374 inmates of the
Northern Hospital for the insane at Osh-
kosh, which is capable of accommodating
800. During the month of April there
was an increase of ten in attendance.
Upon May there were All inmates Of
the State Insane Asylum at Madison,
which is thirty less than the institution
can now accommodate with its enlarged
quarters. During the month of April 81
inmates were removed from the hospital,
twenty ,of them being transferred to the
Dane County Asylum, and six to the JET
ferson County Asylum, while the remain
der were discharged as cured. The aver
AGE number of convicts in the State prison

tute, at Delavan, 1888; and in the Blind

JOSEPH PULITZER, of st. Louis, the
new editor of the New York World,
which has heretofore been considered the
leading Democratic paper in the United
States, gives public notice that that sheet
will no longer be an advocate of the
heresy of free trade. Under the manage
ment of Mr.. Hurlbert, the World was as
rampant free trade organ as the Chicago
Tribune, and its editor came all the way
from New York to Chicago to deliver a

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

New YORK, May 17.-President Viii
lard, of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
has returned from a tour of inspection,
and submitted report at the meeting Of
the Board of Directors to-day. He says
San Francisco has been blessed with suf-
ficlent rain to insure her farmers larger
crops this year than perhaps ever before
In Oregon and Washington Territory
about 10000 immigrants have settled,
coming principally from the eastern, mid
ole and coast states. All the cities and
towns in Oregon and Washington Terri
DRY have greatly improved. Business is
70 lrishing and there is plenty of ready
money. The crop prospects of Western
Oregon and Eastern Washington Terri
tory are unusually encouraging. 1t is
estimated that upwards of $4,000 tons of
grain will be garnered in Eastern Wash
ington and $4,000 tons in Western Ore
gon. This is large increase over any
previous year. The Oregon and Calfor-
MIA line will be completed in 13 months,
giving railroad connections with the great
lakes and St. Paul TO San Francisco via
the Northern Pacific and Oregon and
California systems. The completion of
the latter road will effect somewhat the
Ocean Steamship and Oregon Railway
Navigation Company. Business has in
creased so much that the facilities offered
by the latest line have been outgrown.
The towns of Seattle and New Tacoma,
Puget Sound, have enjoyed extra growth
recently and threaten to rival San Fran
cisco by reason of their grain products
and iron resources.
The report further states that Willard
was pleased with the resources of Mon
tana, At Helena and Butte City thous
ands of tons of ore are on the dump await
ing shipment via the Northern Pacific
to Baltimore and elsewhere. Butte City
has nine smelling works, all of which
are at work on high grade ores. The
cord ition of construction is so far ad
vanced as to ensure the completion Of the
road by the end of August. Merchants
on the Pacific Coast are withholding
the shipment of fall supplies until the
completion of the Northern Pacific Road
The tracks are in first rate condition, and
trains can be run as fast as forty-iye
miles an hour. At st. Paul and Mime
apolis real estate has advanced in some
cases as high as 40 percent, owing to the
large purchases of land by the Oregon
& Transcontinental Company for termi
nal purposes for the Northern Pacific
trains.
In conclusion, Mr.. Willard stated that
there is every prospect that the road is
about entering an era of uninterrupted
prosperity.

AN enthusiastic meeting of the Irish
National League was held at New York
Monday evening. Among the resolutions
adopted was one declaring it a duty
owing to the people of Ireland to discon-
tinue by every legitimate means the pur-
chase and sale in this country of all ar
ticles of English manufacture. The
Free Trade theory of the Democratic
party, the party to which nineteen
twentieths of the Irishmen are strongly
attached, means the importation into this
country of English goods, to the great
detriment of American manufacturing in
terests. Refusing to purchase the goods
and wares, which through their votes
have been brought into the country,
would place Irishmen in rather an awk-
ward and inconsistent position.
