A Statement from Louisville.

After copying the letter of City Engin-
eer Johnson to the Indianapolis Times,
the letter published bv us yesterday,
the Louisville Evening Times (Ky.,) of
the 3Oth ult., proceeds to answer it in
vigorous style through the following
communications and statements, under
the heading
Ii o STORY SPOILED.
Though written prior to the above, the
following information is for the first
time made public:
Among the Oldest and at one time
wealthiest and most prominent families
in Louisville, were, let us say Mr.. and
Mrs. John Brown, because that is not
their name. They are still among the
most respected people in this city, and
citizens would recognize the business of
this claim. Though Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
have both passed the middle point of the
sixties, he il still actively engaged in
business, and, rs shown by her writing,
she is still enjoying good use of her e
tai faculties. They will both give their
Testimony in the pending libel suit, and
ask that their true anne be not given
bow, merely to avoid that annoyance
that would necessarily result from pub
licity.
Here is the first communication just
as it was written by Mrs. Brown:
AUGUST l4.-MR. EpIToR: Although

srning Maj. Blaine's early life in Ken

wha. Capt. Johnson Recently Said.

'
The card OF Capt. w. NJ. Johnson, of
this city to the %Indianap lis Times
which vas reproduced in yesterdays
HERALD was the subject of much com
ment on the streets yesterday. The card
which is in support of Blaine, the Re
publican nominee for President, does
not talley exactly with what
Capt. Johnson had to say to a HERALD
reporter, who being aw a"e of the fact
that Mr.. Blaine and wife resided with
his, Johnson's, father, in Kentucky,
sought him when the charges of the
scandal We're first flashed over the wires.
Capt. Johnson at that time, neither adj
mittel directly or denied the alleged
on the promise that he would give the
reporter a statement of the affair that
the publication of what he had TO say
was at the time withheld. The reporter
made notes at the time of what Capt.
Johnson had to say, which
have since been stolen from
his desk, for he was saw
remembers, however, the fact that
when CAPTAIN Johnson was asked il
there was any truth in the
report or charge that he said
he could not say as he never heard of il
ut the time. Mrs. Blaine, he said, was
like a member of the family, and had
there been any truth in the matter he
would never in all probability have
heard, as the people would have re-
garded it as q family affair. The first he
ever heard OF the rumor, he said, was
some twelve year & when
Col. McNealy, a classmate of Blaine's,
asked him about the scandal. He said
it was news to him, but Col. McNealy
spoke of it as a fact. AS near as the re-
porter can remember. Capt.
Johnson stated that Col. Nc
Nealy resides ut st. Joe
Missouri where Capt. Johnson's
mother also resides. This is the sum
and substance of what he had to say
when first approached on the subject,
and he will bear the reporter out that
the above is substantially
correct. In speaking of the
statement he promised the reporter, he
said that Il Dallas Republican had been
written to to get a statement from him
of what he knew about the Blaine mat

Setting Milk.

In prize essay in the Rural Meo
Yorker, Professor J, N. Muncey gives the
following results of experiment: 1. Milk
set at ninety degrees in water at forty de-
grees for twentyfour hours, will yield
more cream and butter than milk set at
eighty degrees in water at sixty degrees
for the same time. 2. Milk set at ninety
degrees in water at fifty degrees for
twenty four hours, will yield more cream
and butter than the same milk cooled to
fifty degrees before setting. 3. Milk set
at ninety degrees in vessel four inches
deep, in room at sixty to sixty-five de-
grees for twenty-four hours, will raise
more cream and make poorer butter than
milk set by the first two propositions.
Practically, then, the most cream is OBJ
tanned from the milk when it is set as it
comes from the cow-at about ninety
dcgrees-an and gradually cooled to, say
fifty degrees, before acidiication. Milk
in the creamery or elsewhere should be
cooled so rapidly that acidifcation does
not begin until the cream has risen.

To Increase the Pleasure of Eating

In his essay ON "The Pleasures of Eat
ing" Count Rumford says: 1.-THE pleas
ure enjoyed in eating depends-first, on
the agreeableness of the taste of the food /;
and, secondly, upon its power TO affect
the palate. Now, there are many sub
stances extremely cheap, by which very
agreeable tastes may be given to food,
particularly when the basis or nutritive
substance of the food is tasteless; and
the effect of any kind of palatable solid
food (of meat. for instance), upon the
organs of taste, may be increased almost
indefinitely by reducing the size of the
PARTICLES of such food, and causing it to
act upon the palate by larger surface
And ii means be used to prevent its being
swallowed too soon, which may easily be
done by mixing it with some hard and
tasteess substance, such as crumbs of
bread rendered hard by toasting, or any
thing else of that kind, by which long
mastication is rendered necessary, the
enjoyment of eating may be greatly in
creased and prolonged" He adds that
''the idea of occupying person great
while, and affording him much pleasure
at the same time, in eating a small guam
tity of food, may perhaps appear ridicu-
lous to some; but to those who consider
the matter attentively will perceive that
1t is very important"

Annual Flowers.

AS general rule, potting plants for
garden display are unsatisfactory unless
managed by one who is skilled in gar
dening and who has an abundance of
time to devote to their culture. Some
of the common and long tried ANIMALS
give more satisfaction for the amount of
labor invested than other plants. A lady
thus describes her bed of ANIMALS :
There are verbenas, pink, white, blue
and royal purple; phloxes of every shade
from dazzling scarlet down to white
portulacas, little salamanders, of brilliant
hues, as double as little roses; pinks in
white and cardinal dresses; petunias run
up the trclis work in the centre, and, as
the bed is a round one nod knowingly
in all directions. The pansies, dear
little faces, are next my window, and are
all named for friends to whom | talk
when l am lonely. This little bed of

cratic hot-house plants put together

Reans for stock Feeling.

American writers who have copied
most of their ideas from English books
and journals or from German experiment
stations have had much to say about the
value of beans for feeding horses and
cattle, quite ignoring the fact that the
Engll h and European bean is not grown
in his country and probably never will
be, on accou 1t of our too warm climate,
which auses mildew and so weakens the
plant that t becomes the prey of plant
lice, which completely destroy it. 1t is
this bean which has been an ,lyzed by
chemists and mentioned in books as CON
tanning so large quantity of nutritive
matter, especially of a heterogeneous char
acter, which is most suitable for grow
ing and working animals which require
a large supply of fesh-forming food
This matter in beans is called legu-
mine, and is almost precisely the same in
character as caseine of milk, and is there

fore an exceedingly valuable article OF

fore an exceedingly valuable article OF
food for stock of all kinds. But we
have not this bean at all in this country,
and therefore all talk about its excellent
feeding qualities is vain and Of no value
or force at all. We have bean, indeed
several kinds of them, which differ only
in very slight degree as regards their
nutritive elements from the English beam
but unfortunately, excepting one or two
kinds, cattle and horses refuse to eat
them on account of their flavor. The
kinds that are acceptable to them are
those varieties known as COW peas, so
called because they are round, but other
wise they are wholly unlike peas, and
are really species of bean botanically
known as Dolichos. This bean will be
an excellent substitute for the English
bean, but it only thrives in the Southern
States, or where is a lang summer, 1t
may be, and will be probably, that this
may become in time leading crop in
the South, just as corn is
in the North, and be as ex-
tensively shipped North from the extreme
South as corn is sent South from the
great corn States of the West. 1t is
largely used in India for feeding horses
and cattle, being there known as gram"
and is mixed with maize with great adj
vantage. Our Northern field bean, how
ever, may be made valuable feeding
crop by the right management. Al
though it is refused when offered whole,
it is readily eaten when ground with
corn and bran, and then makes per-
fectly balanced food. Corn alone is too
highly carbonaceous and when largely
fed is unwholesomo, as is shown by the
very common effects upon fattening
swine, which suffer so much from enteric
fever produced by blood poisoning, and
which is popularity known as hog chol-
era. 1t is indeed quite certain that if
beans were grown in the large swine
feeding States for this purpose the losses
from this destructive disease would be
greatly reduced, if not wholly prevented"
1t is quite unnecessary to refer to the
easy culture of this crop or to the manner
of it, as this is one of the "a b C's' of
agriculture. -NeU York Times.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
HnlkinR Horses.

A balky horse should never be beaten,
as it will only make him more nervous
and increase the difficulty. Doing some
thing to distract his attention is, per
haps, the best way to start him. Some
balky horses start readily when hand
full of sand is put into their mouths or
ear Others will be modified by an ear
OF corn eaten and another held at a
tempting distance a little in advance.
In cases of continued obstinacy, a cure
Is sometimes effected by fastening the
Morse securely and leaving him without
food or drink until he is willing to start
~ story is told of one farmer whose
horse baked with light load in the
woods. The animal was tied to tree
and tried at intervals through the day.
At night he was left standing. The next
morning, twenty-four hours after the
balky fit began, the horse started freely
and never offered to balk again while his
owner was driving him.
