A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT

A Grass Which Requires no Kr'
| irrigation.
The Reno Gazette of a recent date
gives an interesting account of tht
new Arabian grass which is being
introduced in this State. D. B
Patterson Of Loyaltown. in the
Sierra Valley, has been experiment
ing and says tina. the new grass
seed he sowed last year is not Hun
90, ian, but Arabian. He sowed il
in various portions or his ranch.
some on low ground, and some on
high, sandy and gravel soil. Dur
ing the Summer he irrigated that
on the low ground, but very little
of it ever came up. The portion
in the sandy and high. hillside
ground, which had no irrigation,
came up during the Summer and
grew rapidly, and during the dry
est Of the season grew the most
rapidly. The grass reached the
height of four to four and one half
feet. The blade of the grass var
led in width and ranged from one
inch to four and one half inches,
producing a blade similar to that
of a corn stalk leaf, the central leaf
bearing the seed. The roots were
strong and matted the ground with
q network. Mr.. Patterson said
all his stock, both cattle and horses
ate it with avidity. He is not able
to determine yet how the roots
have Wintered, as the snow is not
off sufficiently. So near like the
growth of corn was it in appearance
that his neighbors, passing by,
frequently suggested they were
willing to bet that he would have
crop of corn in the Fall This is
the peculiarly of this grass.
Faom his experience last year, Mr..
Patterson thinks the grass at no
stage of its growth needs any irri-
cation. Should it prove to have
Wiu.ereed all right and do we'll
this season, Mr.. Patterson says he
will cover all his mountain land
with the seed and make ranges now
where there is little signs of vege-
tation.

Yesterday Harry Hunter returned
from Chicago and was so changed
in appearance that he walked al
over town without being recognized
by any body. He seemed to enjoy
this very much and finally run
| ming across Judge Cary got him to
introduce him as leading polite
| ian from the East. He was intro
duced to Col. Ellis As Mr.. John
| SON Of New York, Col. Ellis at
! once began to inquire sitter East
ern politics and some such CONVEX
sation as this ensued.
Il regret very much that Tilden
has declined to run. We elected
him once and can do it again"
"Where did you get your in
formation that he was not candi-
date?" said Hunter as solemn as
could be.
"Why, the dispatches"
81 saw Mr.. Tilden q week ago
last Monday and had two hours con-
versation with him He told me
most positively that he was can
didate, and should spend if neces-
sary five million dollars to win the
fight.
"You don't say So" replied the
Col. Frightening up. He told
you this with his own lips?"
"He did, and more too"
By this time Col. Stampley form
ed the group and the thing bad
to be repeated for his benefit.
Then Doctor White drifted in
and also heard the welcome news.
Every Democrat who hove in sight
was called up to hear the words Of
cheer.
Then Hunter began to spread
himself.
"This refusal to run is only q
part of the play, Tilden is prepar-
ing for the fight in dead earnest, I
never saw q man SO enthusiastic. :"
"Can he stand the fatigues of the
campaign, Mr.. Johnson" asked
DR.. White.
81 should say So" was the re-
Spouse. "He puts up dumb bells
every day, rows on the river and
walks twelve miles. He has gained
twenty pounds since last January.
and is as good a man physically as
I know. don't mean an athlete
but a good healthy sound man with
good APPETITE and digestion.
lis he we'll heeled for the fght?''
asked Col. Stampley.
"Heeled, he has sold all his New
York Central and Elevated Rail-
way stock and has five millions in
gold stacked up in one of his back
parlors. He took me in and show
ed me the pile and said feel of it. ~
At this point the greatest enthusi-
asm prevailed and DR.. White took
all hands into the Ormsby House
to drink, just as they were lifting
their glasses, Mr. Sharp senior
took q look at the alleged johnson,
and reaching out his haad said :.
"Harry Hunter are you bacA?"
In mement the crowd took a
good look and as they saw they
had been soIi took the situation
good humoredly and began to laugh
uproarously. They drank quietly
and presently dispersed going of
by themselves to engage in little
quiet profanity.

Bringing i'm a Verdict.

AT n little back-woods settlement in
Vancouver's Island. an Indian had been
stealing potatoes from farm belong
;ng to Mr.. Sproat, the local Justice.
One day, in order to brighten this In
dian, the man in charge, who was
Western back-wOodSman, fired his gun
vaguely in the direction of the potato
field. To his establishment he found
hat he had shot the native dead. An
inquest had of course to lie held. The
woOdsman did not look upon slain
Indian as very great affair, and sew
eral came to Mr.. Sproat and said: "You
are not going to trouble Henry about
his, are you, sir?" Mr.. Sproat, being
not only the mans master, but also a
magistrate. had TO reply that however
much he felt for the mans misfortune,
he must let the law take its course.
But where was a surgeon to be found
to make the pOst-mOrtem examination?
A care-worn looking man stepped off
pile of lumber, where he was working,
and said he was a surg ,on. This state
ment icing naturally received with some
hesitation, he produced from an old
army chest his commission, his degree,
and ample proof of not only having
been n staff-surgeon. He performed the
post-mortem, and soon produced shot
from the lung aid proved that the In
dian had died from gunshot wounds
in the chest. Other evidence was
forthcoming; one of the witnesses testi-
flying that the prisoner had said Jack.
I've shot an Indian The Judge" laid
down the law to the jury, which were
RnnrnSnH nf ftVa of no
gent of the men, and they were sent in
to another room TO consid,r their YER
dict. 1t WIS nearly h II an hour before
they Il turned. The foreman then said:
1--WE find that the Indian was worried
by d g.'' "A what?" the Judge ex-
claimed. Worried by a dog. sir"
said another iuryman, thinking that the
foreman had not spoken plainly. As
Stunning proper expression of magis-
terial gravity, his worship pointed out
to the jury the incompatibilitv of their
Y rdict with the evidence, and ag,in
went over the case. and calling their
particular attention t. tn medical evil
dencn, and to the p: oduction by the dec
tor of the shot found in the body of the
Indian, he again dismissed item TO
their room. begging them to me hack
with a verdict he isoaably connected
with the facts. They remained away
logger than before. When they at last
returned, the judge drew paper to-
ward him To record their finding.
:" Now. me-, what do you siy?' Their
decisive answ wa: 1--WE say that he
was killed by falling over cliff" The
Judge snuffled his papers together, ard
told the my fhaV MIGHT on IN THAR
work, and he would return verdict
for thu IN himself. For a full mile in
very direction from where the dead
body was found the country was as
levi as table. The jury was not 50

The exordium of the sermon, by Rev
Prof. Barbour, before the American
Board of Foreign Missions. at Detroit.
on the text of which the words above
are part, contains a novel and strik-
ing thought, full Of great argument and
suggestion. He said:
'Men and Brethren: Iu announcing
this plain sentence as the text Of the
following discourse, allow me the priv
ilege of an introduction to it in The use

there is no Christ nor Christian Church.
The Gospel is no more. The vexatlons
of the learned over miracle aud in. ,pira-
ton are at an end; the vivalries of the
sects have gone down in a general i'm
difference; missions are abandoned, re-
form has become impotent, in SO far as
it depended upon the Christian dynamic.
What would be leftp The world would
still be here, as firm under the human
foot as ever; day and night. summer
and winter, seed-time and harvest would
not cease. And man rs = moral being
would be here, behaving as he has be-
haved where the Gospel has not cor
rected him. Under the One who is over
all, law would still be here, reigning
unto life and death. over all who BY
their very make find themselves its
natural subjects. The Gospel of Christ
not having made the world, nor human

Those who did not thoroughly protect
their water pipes before cold weather
set In will be troubled this winter by
having them frozen. To get up in a
cold morning and find the pump frozen
up, or the water in some of the leading
pipes frozen so that 1t will not run. Is
not only trying to the patience of the
most even tempered man. but II is often
d serious drawback On the operations of
the Whole household, and the important
question Immediately forces itself upon
the head of the house: What theans
are TO be taken to get the water to run
ming? This must depend on the situa-
ton of the pipes that are frozen. The
first thing to do is to find tie particular
portion OF the pipe where the water is
frozen; this Is not always easy, but good
Judgment will generally detect the most
probable point: If it is above ground
where it can be reached, dip bag, or
any thick cloth; In hot water and i'm
mediately wind it around the pipe where
1t is supposed to be frozen, then pour on
1t boiling water to keep. the cloth hot; in
this way the pipe will be thawed out id
a few moments; if it is not, then some
other place must be tried, changing un-
til the right place is found.
Should the pipe he under ground,
and yet where the upper end can be-
worked from, take ad OF rubber
pipe that is small enough TO go ms de
Of the frozen pipe, running it in until
it strikes the ice, then into the upper
end OF this pipe pour boiling water,
being careful to force the lead, or rub
Der pipe, down as fast as the ice nielis,
which will be very RAPID. The same
thing can he done from the lower end;
Ii the lead or rubber pipe have the end
in which the water is poured lifted one
or two feet higher than the end that is
forced against the ice. I'm thawing a
long pipe under ground, it is sometimes
necessary TO work from both ends.
Pipes that cannot be reached at
either end TO run a pipe in. If they
have a good descent, are sometimes
thawed out with salt; this will take
time. but Will generally accomplish the
object.
When one has exhausted all of his
ingenuity and most of his patience. and
finally succeeds in thaw.ng out the
pipes only to find them burst some
where where it is not easily got at, then
comes man s self-control over Lis Ian:
guage. The wise man is silent, but
will strive to keep his Thoughts directed
TO how he may be able to prevent an
other such disaster. Massachusetts
