Gigantic Schemes, Involving the Expendi-
ture of Princeiy Amounts.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, December l6.
Captain Bedford Pym, Paymaster of the
royal navy, and lately member of Parlia
ment from Gravesend, is in the city, having
returned from looking over the cattle
ranches of the West. He has On foot a
plan for building a railroad from Chey-
enne, w. T., to Hudson's Bay for the
transportation of cattle to England, in
stead of bringing them to Chicago and
thence shipping them East. This road
will cost about $40, 5o0, 900, and he wants
the United States to subscribe l l-2 per
cent. of that amount and England like
sum. The remainder, he claims, can be
raised in the London Stock Exchange in
few days.
Captain Pym has also been In CORE
spondence with Washington authorities
concerning the Nicaragua Canal. The
United States has recently secured con-
tract for this canal from Nicaragua, and
the estimated cost is 100000 Cap
tain Pym says l00,000,000 won't do it.
He wants the United States and Great
Britain each to subscribe l-2 per cent.
OF $500, 000, 900, and says he can raise the
remainder in London.
He says of the Hudson Bay Road, that
for Texas cattle it will save 1000 miles
by land and 500 by water. He goes to
Toronto to consult Sir John Macdonald,
and will also call on President-elect
Cleveland to suggest the appointment OF
preliminary commission to consider the
terms for joint action between England
and the United States on the Nicaraguan
Canal project

.'Well, sir, what can do for you?''

.'Sorry-very sorry" continued the
other; II have got to 60 to Chicago on
foot. If you could guarantee me fine
weather wouldn't need to ask you tc
lend me more than half dollar. As
you can't do that, and as l am liable tc
be showed in somewhere for a week,
shall be compelled to request the loan
of at least eighty cents. Do you advise
me to lay in stock of crackers and
cheese at this point, or would you buy
as you went along and from day tc

The Alderman sought to crawl out OF
any responsibility in the mater, but the
man hung to him until he got thirty

WifeIy Strategy.

1t is the easiest thing in the world to
work a husband. even if he is completely
absorbed in business. He is never so
far gone that he will not appreciate a
dinner cooked just to his taste. Study
his peculiar tastes, and cater to them.
This is diplomacy. Do it so naturally
that he can never suspect that you have
an object in it. This is strategy.
He likes a bright fire burning in season.
He prefers to sit in a certain corner.
Let him always find his chair in that
corner not in way, however, that
will lead him to suspect that you put it
there. He thinks you look better in
certain dress or with certain ribbon
on your hair. Let it happen that you
dress just that way. There are a thou
sand and one things you can do that
will combine to make his home more
attractive ard enjoyable that club
room or alleged business Office. But
for goodness sake don't let him know
you are doing this on purrose--PitIs-

Tho Farmers' Duty to the Youth and -
American Agriculture.


American Agriculture.
The thoughtful and intelligent de-
plore the evils to society and individual
losses resulting from such numbers Of
the rural population, among them q
large per cent. of the young, who aban-
don agriculture and seek employment
in other pursuits, thus swelling the
ever-fowing current toward manufact-
uring centers and crowded cities. Is
the promise of pecuniary gain larger
and more certain? Are the opportun-
tiles for social pleasures more? To
those reared in the country, too often
the splendor and stirring activities of
the town dazzle the Imagination and
mislead the mind. They know nothing
of the privations and hardships incident
to city life, and do not so fully as they
ought appreciate the advantages Of
their country homes till perhaps the
lesson has been learned through long
and bitter experience. We must over
come this urban inclination-which
farmers everywhere observe and regret
by interesting the young people in the
work and management of the farm, and
in working with us in adjoining and
beautifying the home.
Farm life is made too monotonous;
there is too little effort to awaken and
train the fine sensibilities. The energy
of the household is too often devoted
to the one purpose of accommodating
dollars and cents. Continuous cheer
less toll bears especially hard upon the
young. In the absence of provision to
supply the demands of their nature for
variety and change, they either grow
istless, lose energy and ambition, and
become mere farm drudges; or they
break away from this unreasonable
servitude and plunge into the great
outside world, exposed to al its snares.
But more of intelligence, that comes
through improved educational advan-
tages, together with improved farm
machinery, is teaching the farmer that
muscle alone is not the only requisite to
the best success.
Agricultural literature is potent in
fiuence in breaking down that prejudice
and ignorance which SO long enslaved
and degraded agriculture, and is de-
handing for it just recognition as the
noblest, most useful and inviting of
human occupations. These enlightened
views of agriculture are the factors
that in the future are to induce our
young men to pursue with hopeful in
telligence the tilling of the soil. Farm
ers may do much to encourage in their
boys love of rural life by making the
home attractive in all its surroundings;
also by inducing them to take an inter-
est not only in the necessary work, but
in the planning of the work and sharing
with them its fruitful returns. This will
give employment to mind as well as to
hands; the drudgery of dull, thought
less toll will be avoided and the farmer,
as age comes on, will have, the heart
warming satisfaction of seeing his sons
growing up to the inheritance, with
health of body and vigor of mind; be-
coming intelligent farmers and citizens.

HORSE CAVE, Ky, December l6.
P. ]. Slocum, school teacher, recently
incurred the nl-wiil of some Of the COM
munity, and received several anonymous
letters suggesting that If he didn't
leave town, he would be waited on. He
did not leave as requested, aei on
Saturday night mob called on him
and found him at home. He claimed
that over twenty horsemen rode into
his yard and gave orders to sur
round the house, when he fired into
the crowd and kept firing until he
drove the mob of his premises. When he
ceased firing, Wayne. Grain, one of the
alleged vigilantes, was shot through the
heart and fell dead inside the school
masters yard. John Long, another of
the crew, was wounded in the leg. Sew
eral horses were shot, and it is thought
that two or three other members of the
party were wounded. Long. who was shot
In the leg, claims that the party of horse
men did not constitute q mob, but were
riding peaceably along the road when
fred upon. Grain, who was killed, and
Long, who was wounded, both live four
or five miles from the village of Horse
Cave, and the mystery is, if it was mob,
why they were in it. Slocum was un-
acquainted with either, and neither knew
Kim. There were four or five men in the
house with Slocum, but he says no one
fred but himself.

-Unthinking farmers will sometimes
place colt or young horse by the side
of a horse of more mature years and ex-
pect it to do an equal amount of work
without injury. Such thing is not
only cruel but unwise. Many prom
ising young horses have been ruined by
such treatment. No young horse should
be expected to stand the work that
horses which have been accustomed to
hard usage are able to undergo.-M Y.

Taking the best specimens of steers,
it is found that by the best system of
feeding in the first year calf or steer
can be made to improve 1885 pounds.
The second year the steer will gain S35
pounds, third year 702 pounds and
fourth year ST. pounds. Thus it is seen
that in the average for the three years
after the first the increase is not half
what it was the first year, while the

TOO UGLY TO CATCH FISH.

and Greedy Turtle.
Robert Toombs, of Georgia, was
known as the unlucky fisherman.
When boy he was quite ungainly in
appearance, and his companions used
to say that he was SO ugly that he
scared the fishes away. All through his
career he never had any luck in angling.
He would sit for hours On the banks of
stream impatiently awaiting bite
and cursing his luck, while Others
around him were landing fish by the
dozen. After fishing all day in a
Georgia stream he drew up huge mud
turtle. He cut his name in full on the
hard shell and threw the turtle back
into the water
Two years afterward he was fishing
al the same spot and again drew out
turtle. 1t was the very same turtle on
which he had inscribed his name, but he
was astonished to find below his name
