Farm and Home Notes.

The weight of evidence among those
who profess to know is largely in favor
of the Light Brahmas as the best fowls
Tor the farmer. They are hardy, ma
ture early, of good flesh and large
weight, and are good layers in all sea-
sons.
Every farmer, no matter how small
his possessions, may keep sheep with
profit. At all seasons of the year they
will consume fodder that would other
wise go to waste. A few sheep may
safely run with cattle in summer, and
also in the feeding yards with them in
winter. Dogs only rarely attack sheep
among cattle.
Nice honey would be regarded rs a
luxury in the families of many farmers.
Why should they not enjoy it, even if
there be no attempt to produce honey
for profit. TO keep few hives costs
but n trille. and the bees require COM
parativelv little attention, while they
utilize what would otherwise be lost.
There are few farms indeed where bees
would not thrive and gather quantities
of delicious honey from sources whose
sweetness is now almost allowed to 90
to waste.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
says: There is reason to believe that
it is possible to produce a COW that can
make 900 pounds of butter and bring a
calf within the period of year. There
is reason to believe that a COW may be
found to make % pounds of butter in a
week, and lis pounds in month
These figures look large, and they are
large. but truly scientific breeding has
never been practiced upon butter cows
until within the past three and half
years.
A lesson to be learned from dry
year is not to put all your dependence
on one crop. Mixed farming is the
stronghold of the Massachusetts, hus-
bandman. Do not put all your eggs in
one basket Grass we must grow
Dry or wet our moving lands are per-
manent and hay is the staple of our
production; it is not in itself money
crop, it must be fed out on the farm
and its product should be driven off on
its legs. But cash crops, to pay taxes.
store bills. etc, should be varied

The Quilt Craze.

The "crazy-quilt' insanity has re-
Gently reached the rural districts, and
as the supply of young men in those To-
calities is so small the neck-tie and hat
lining crop is soon harvested, and the
young women who are suffering from
the malady are forced to resort to other
means to secure the necessary material
for their unfinished blocks Their la
test scheme has Just been discovered by
the dry-goods men of this city, and their
supply from this quarter bids fair to be
cut off at short notice. A representa-
tive of a leading house told reporter
yesterday that it had always been Gus
tomary for country people to send to
city dry-goods houses for samples, and
hundreds of dollars worth of goods
were cut up by the various houses for
this purpose. But now the houses were
daily receiving large numbers of re-
quests for samples from the country, in
which no price, color, or style was Civ
en-. Some of these requests had been
needed, but now it has been discovered
that this is the work of the crazy-qmlt
flends, and the various dealers have re-
solved that hereafter they will pay nc
attention TO such requests unless they
are accompanied by requests for prices,
colors, &c. They say that the crazy
quilt swinders must go.

The Best Party for Mankind.

In then. Y. Tribune we find the follow
ing: Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has
said that he will not vote for Mr.. Blaine.
Does Mr. Beecher remember a vigorous
Cleveland as candidate for Governor at
a meeting held in the Brooklyn Rink
under the auspices of the Young Repub-
lican Club, on the evening of November
B, 1882? In that speech he distinctly
defined the line that separates State
from national politics, and, after elo-
quently reciting the reasons which i'm
PEELED him to withhold his support from
the Republican nominee for the Cover
norship, he as eloquently renewed and
confirmed his fealty to the national Re-
publican party. Here are his words
MY fidelity to those moral principles
which are ut the bottom of all political
affairs compels me to be a Republican
on all national questions. | believe
in the Republican party as the best one
for the poor man, for the laboring man,
for the whole country and for mankind.
But when | come to New York State
matters l am Republican-wit a

national questions. | am Republican

State affairs, and, if | have to act in
these affairs against my conscience, 1

tinue TO be a national Republican. You
can't put me out of that party, that is
something impossible. No man can
say that my light hand shall not vote
for Republican President, or to sus-
tain the national policy of my party"
Are not those words as true to-day as
they were two years ago? Since they
were uttered has not the national party
been faithful to the principles and
policy which won Mr.. Beecher's heart
felt loyalty? Does not the national

laboring man, for the whole country
and for mankind? How can Mr. Beecher
or those who thought with him, recon-
ellie his uttterances in November, 1882,
with his rebellion IN July, 1884? He
himself would have spurned with indig-
nation the prophecy in 1882 that less
than two years later it would be his own
voice which would say that his right
hand would not '..vote for Republican
President" would not Sustain the ma
tional policy of his party. Alas the
mighty indeed are fallen.

American Enternrise in New Mexico.

Only few years ago, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, New Mexico de-
pended upon Kansas for all kinds of
farm produce, as we'll as hay. Thou
sands upon thousands of acres of fine
farming land were left neglected, while
price was paid by consumers for arti-
Giles imported from abroad much infer
Tor in quality to what could have been
grown on our own land. The Mexicans
would only raise enough for then own
families, and seem to have but little
idea of remuneratiye occupation of
farming. But the advent of American
enterprise has altered this condition OF
things, and the Mexicans are beginning
to follow the example set them. Large
quantities of available lands are now
under cultivation, and on every hand
can be seen gardens, the rich soils OF
which are already yielding large crops
of vegetables and fruits, while fields OF
grain and other cereals are growing in
abundance on land that but short
time since was uncultivated and run.

Wade Hampton,s Old Friend.

A middle-aged man approached Gen.
Hampton the other day and asked his
influence in pressing a claim before the
Military Committe of the Senate. The
stranger then said: General, | am
glad to see you again. You do not re-
cognize me, but you personally made a
prisoner of me during the war" Com
pairing notes, Hampton found out it was
fact, and recalled the circumstance.
He was recommending one night and
missed his way. Around him burned
many more camp fires than he had left
behind him. Entering house, he
discovered that he had strayed into the
enemy's lines. A few soldiers were
seated at a table, and abruptly address
ing them, as if superior officer of their
own army, he asked who they were and
what they were doing there. One man
spoke up and replied; 1--WE belong to
the Eighth New York Regiment, and
Gen. Warren sent us to get milk"
Hampton felt that all of his nerve and
address would be required TO extricate
himself from this dangerous position.
He reached for his pistol, held it along
his thigh, and. on leaving the house,
commanded the man who had spoken
to him to follow. He did so. Hamp-
ton mounted his horse and called the
man to him, Bending down to the
Federal soldiers ear he whispered; Il
have pistol aimed at you head and
will shoot you If any alarm is made. "
The surprised soldier whispered; Don't
shoot. | surrender" Hampton then
babe him move on just ahead of his
horse, and SO brought him into the Con-
federate camp. 1t was this man who, after
more than twenty years, met his captor
and asked favor of him, as Senator
that he was more than willing to grant.
1t was a strange and romantic coincid-
ence in the returning cycles of time

POLITICAL MECHANICS.
How Senator Ewing Came to be Called .sSolI.
tude.''

Ihe nlcknamlng of prominent men,
particularly of those mixing in politics,
is practiced in America more, perhaps,
than in any other, and, as rule. the
recipient takes to it kindly. Thus
Gen. Jackson was as well know as
"Old Hickory" and more readily recog-
nized than if called President Jackson.
Senator Benton in his life time was al
most as well known as ..Old Bullion
so called from his advocacy of a gold
and silver currency and his inyeter,.te
opposition to banks and paper money
The late Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, while
"a Senator in Congress, had his nick
name Of Solitude aud it so stuck to
him that even now, long after his death,
the prefix is still given him, to distin
guish him from his son and namesake,
Gen. Tom Ewing. Senator Ewing
made speech in the United States Sem
ate which fastened the solitude upon
him. 1t was during the National Bank
agitation, when the supporters of that
Institution were active in picturin1 the
rum that would come upon the country
if the banks charter was not renewed.
Senator Ewing in debate spoke of the
mechanic being out of work, and that
the busy hum of industry is heard not
in this busy season of the year, and
wound up with the assertion that ''our
camelS are a solitude, our lakes but des-
ert wastes of water A number of
COngressmen-sev several of them Sena-
tors, and more than half of them DEM
| ocrats-made up party TO return to
their homes by the way of the New
York Canal. The west was then send
ing its produce to the east via lake and
| canal, and the Congressional party
found that the canal trade, if judged by
the number of boats met, was immense,
and it was a standing joke with the
Democratic members when fleet of
boats hove i'll sight to call Mr.. Ewing
from the cabin of the packet-boat 10
| look at his solitude At the lower
end of the canal there had been a
break, and large number of boats
were usually in sight. OF course, it
was fun to see them and to point them
out to the Ohio member, but the fun
was not on his side, nor to his liking
At Rochester, just as the packet-boat
landed, a freight boat was discharging
cargo, and Mr.. Ewing and the other
Congressman were lookers-on. BY
some accident, hogshead filled with
molasses had its head burst in, and the
contents poured into the canal An
Irish laborer standing near Mr.. Ewing,
without knowing who he was, ex-
claimed: ''Jabers. mon, that must be
solitude swatened" The other Con-
gressmen roared with laughter, and Mr.
Ewing was forced to join them. The
Democratic members told the joke and
it got into the newspapers, and it aided
in perpetuating the soubriquet of "Sol-
itude'' on Senator Thomas Ewing |

The Origin of MoSuuitops.

The Indians have very satisfactory
account of the origin of the Montezuma
mosquitoes, The legend runs thus;
There were in times of old, many moons
ago, two huge feathered Monsters per-
mitted by the Manitou to descend from
the sky and alight on The banks of the
Seneca River. Their form exactly that
of the mosquito. They were so large
that they darkcned the sun like cloud
Is they flew toward the earth. Stand
ing one on either bank they guarded
the river, and stretching their long
nechs into the canoes of the Indians, as
theN attempted to paddle along the
stream, gobbled them up, as the Stork
King in the fable gobbled up the frogs
The destruction of life was SO great
that not an Indian could pass without
being deyoured in the attempt. 1t was
long before the monsters could be ex-
terminated, and then only by the COM
bined efforts of all the warriors of the
Cayuga and Onondaga nations. The
battle was terrible, but the warriors i'm
ally triumphed. and the mammoth mos
quitoes were slain and lett unburied.
For this neglect the Indians had to pay
dearly. The carcasses decomposed.
and the particles, vivitied by the sun,
flew off in clouds of mosquitoes. which
have filled the country ever since. The
