Charles Mix Record: The loss by
prairie fires this fall. has been something
terrific. Not only have homes and
property been wiped out Of existence,
but in many cases life has been sacrificed
to the fire hend. Nearly every one Of
the great fires that have swept over Da-
kota, has been caused by carelessness
and In a few instances by wanton malici-
BUSINESS. The Law Furnishing those who
set out fires i'd not severe enough. Double
the dose, rub it in we'll, and We shall
have fewer of these horrors.

Washington special: Commissioner
Evans returned to day from New York.
When asked his view Of the situation
there, said: II do not think it possible
for the Blaine and Logan electoral
ticket in that state to be defeated. The
republican committee have advlces of
the most cheering kind from oil parts of
the state, while in New York city there
is every reason to expect that Mr.
Blsine's vote will considerably exceed
that of Garfield in 1880. I believe that
if Cleveland gets plurality there at all
it will not be large one. believe also
that New Jersey is safe for Blaine by
several thousand"

ConGdinc Children

Happy is the mother whose children
cling to mamma, and give her all sorts
of confidence in that tender hour be-
fore they go to sleep. 1t may seem
like a burden sometimes, when you
are tired, and particularly tired of
noise and talk, to give the children
that hour, but you will never regret
it. Ia all their apparently wrong do
ings give them forever and eternally
the benefit of the doubt. Let them
feel absolutely certain that there is
one person in the world who will APP
preciate the force of the temptations
as well as the weight of the wrong
act 1t May be that to render this
blessed result possible we women are
given the smaller brains, and that we
have an innate power of inaccuracy,
and that we do not greatly purpose to
be entirely and coldly reasonable.

WILL CUBA BE SOLD!
Five Commissioners of Spain 90 Con.
slider the Question.
Havana Dispatch.

The FIVE commissioners nominated
at Madrid BY Mr. Cos Gayon. minister
of finance, and MIR. Tejada de Waldo.
sera. minister of the colonies have
arrived here.
They naturally have not stated what
is the real object of their mission. hut
it is no secret TO anyone in Havana
1t is known that the Madrid govern
ment sent these commissioners I'm
haste as soon as they received official
notice Of the resignation of Capt. Gen
Castillo, in which he drew a vivid
but disquieting picture of the financial
and political situation of this island.
He added in that notification that his
age and his shattered health would
not permit him 10 entertain the hope
of successfully coping with condi-
ton of affairs which was desperate
from every point of view.
The five commissioners are directed
to inquire into and report promptly
to the cabinet, at Madrid, as to whether
it is expedieRt to accept the resigna-
ton of the captain general, and
whether it is prudent TO reduce the
regular volunteer corps of Cuba in
order to reduce to 5000, 600 pesos the
budget for the expenses of the island.
as it is desired to do in Madrid: and
further, if the volunteers refuse to
submit to any reduction in their force.
toreport what IS the minimum amoHnt
for which Cuba costld be Geded to the
United States.
The commission of five is also
charged secretly by the suspicious
government of Madrid to discover
whether il is true that Aguero was
summoned hither (as it is considered
remarkable that he had been able to
land so easily by the principal chiefs
of the peninsular party, who wanted
to have it believed that a serious in
surrection was in progress, in order
to prevent the government at Madrid
from diminishing the budget of the
island, upon which these politicians
live. They are, therefore, naturally
opposed to any reduction OF expenses
and to annexation to the United
States.
Two Of these FIVE commissioners did
not hesitate to declare five days after
they landed and had begun to study
the general situation, that if this had
been the plan of these functionares
and peninsular politicians they had
been caught in their own net. as the
revolt begun by AgueIo had extended
so seriously that its direction has
passed into the hands of the revolu-
tionary chiefs, who have little dispo-
sition, even if Aguero wished il, to
receive money to stop the fight and TO
return to the United States.
Up to this time only one Of the com
missioners has talked at all and he
only 10 few Of his friends. He said
that a longer possession Of Cuba by
Spain would be ruinous TO the latter,
and that it would be better TO sell the
island and that that would be the
only way out of the complicated sit
uation.
1t is not known whether the report
which is to be sent to Madrid by this
commission must have the signature
of each of the five commissioners, OF
whether each one VIII be allowed sep
arately to present his views.

Body and Brain.

Motion is the exercise of the body.
Thought is the exercise of the braiu.
Motion at length e1hausts the body,
Thought at length exhausts the brain.
Cessation of motion allows the body
to be invigorated. Cessation Of
thought reinvigorates the brain. The
body must have rest. The brain must
have sleep. When the body cannot
rest, as in convulsive diseases, it dies.
When the brain cannot rest, when a
man cannot sleep, every hour is a
step nearer to the mad house. Some
men work themselves to death. Some
men think themselves to death Too
little rest for the body, too little sleep
for the brain, are false economies of
time, and multitudes, unwittingly,
bring on wasting and fatal diseases by
pr8cuclug these economies. Omnipo-
tence rested, and commanded man
to 90 tie same Sleep plenty, rest a

all great, safe, and efficient activities

Wild Camels in America.

Utterly wild camels may be seen on
the deserts at the head of the Gulf of
California, where they Fl nd con

They are a remnant of herd which
many years ago was imported by the
government to act as beasts Of burden
for the army in New Mexico and Arr
IONA. They served the purpose well,
but were finally dispensed with, 1t IS
said, through the demands of drivers
Of pack trains of mules and donkeys,
whose beasts were frightened INTO
stampedng by the sight and smell of
the foreign strangers. The camels
were subsequently, used by miners IN
carrying ore, etc, in California and
Arizona; but a few years ago they
were turned loose on the banks of the
Rio Colorado where they are fast be
coming naturalized.

not contracted feet; broad loins; wide,
smooth hips and long, full tails. They
must have plenty of nervous energy
and good knee action; must be prompt,
free drivers, capable of trotting a mile
IN four minutes; be fast walkers, and
good, hearty eaters; must not inter
fere, and must carry their heads
well up without checks when on the
road.
1t will readily be seen that these
mares are neither Clydesdales, Nor
mans, Canadians, Arabians. thorough
breds, nor tr0tters; but they are q
team which will pull the plow through
two acres Of land in a day, viii pull
a ton, yes, two, if the roads are good,
of produce to the village fsur miles
miles off in less than an hour, and
trot back with the empty wagon in
half that time without distressing
themselves or their driver Should
the farmer have a trip of twenty miles
to make on business or pleasure, he
can hitch them to his spring wagon,
take his wife and children with him,
and they need not be away from home
more than three hours, or should he
choose to go ON horseback, he can
mount one of the mares and enjoy a
ride on a very fair saddle horse.
A team of Clydesdales may pull a
heavier load at a dead drag; Cana
dams will stand more exposure and
poorer fare; AraOians are better sad
die horses; tEoroughbreds can outrun
them; trotters, when hitched to a
light buggy, can pass them on the
road; but neither of these breeds
combine anything like the desirable
qualities for farmer that the team
which | have described possesses, and
when 1t becomes desirable to dispose
of their produce the colts of such
mares will find a reader sale than
those of any of the others, being ex-
actly suited to the wants of the rich
city gentleman for his family carriage,
for which he must have a strong,
handsome, snowy team; and, as such
teams are always scarce, he must pay
a good price for them.
Large dray horses unually bring
remunerative prices but few men will
pay as much for team to haul their
bales of cotton or barrels Of -four as
they will for team to draw their
families in Central or Lincoln Park
IN winter or at Newport and Long
Branch in the summer, where each
millionaire strives to Guido the others
IN the beauty and style of his carriage
horses.
1t will be useless for the farmers to
try to get such horses as these for a
very low price; butwhen he has foUnd
them, never mind the price An extra
hundred dollars orso invested in such
a span will pay better interest than in
the savings bank. When the farmer
has obtained his team of mares let
him look for stallion of as nearly
the same type as he can find. He
must be full sixteen hands high, of
good disposition, and have the bold,
high knee action which characterizes
a fine carriage horse, for which rich
buyers are willing to pay literally. If
this horse can trot in three minutes
instead of four so much the better. --
