Beloit Gazette: We have frequently
referred in these columns to the propri-
ETY. of our farmers going more largely
into improved stock of all kinds, and
having harvest of good young things,
as well as of seventeen cent corn and
sixty-fve cent wheat. The great COM
plant is sit costs too much, and we can't
seeany profit in it." The Goodwin Park
stock farm has brought to this country
some of the finest strains of Hambleto-
MAN blood, some of the best families OF
Shorthorn cattle, but more especially
has it been noted for the splendid quail
ity of the Angus cattle it has brought
here. In this breed, they have brought
here the sweepstakes bull of the world,
and As grand q lot of COWS as can be
found in America. The fact that in
three years, this herd has won ninety
premiums and medals at winning seven
sweepstakes ribbons this season, shows
conclusively that their cattle are "a good
as grows. In spite of all this, it has
been q struggle to keep the farm in ex-
istence, and at one time it seemed as if
it must fail for lack of support. Our
home people have failed to patronize it,
except in very limited extent. This
all, becoming discouraged with the poor
fuccess at home, the Messrs. Goodwin
sought foreign buyers, and the result is
shat their cattle were sold like shot

When Day Meets Night.

Out to the west the sIent day kisses night
And with one parting glow passion dies
In gold ana red; woman's wlstful eyes
Look out across the bills, a BAND OF light
PLAYS on her parted hair. there sofl. dwells
And throws glory DER her gill. dream;
The sheep 81 W nestle down beide the stream,
And cattle wal der with their linking bells.
The clouds, sun-fush'd, clirg round the day s
decline
The woman's eyes grow tender; shadows
creep:
Gold turns 70 gray; sharp dividing line
Par,s earth and Heaven. Adorn the western
height.
The calm cold dark has kiss'd the day tc
sleep;
The yislful ewes loo k out across the night.

Terror of Haunted Loo omot ives.

New York Tribune
Locomotive engineers are almost, if
not altogether, as superetitious in regard
to haunted LOGON olives as sailors in re-
gard to haunted ships. About ten years
ago the engine Matt Morgan blew up
while standing on the track of the Shore
Line road near thestation in Providence,
R. l., killing the engineer. The engine
was subsequently, rebuilt and put on
the road. On the first trip that she
made after being rebuilt she went
tearing into Providence in the night
with the train swinging behind and the
sleeping town echoing to the shrill
whistle. On ,proaching the station
the engineer leaned forward to shut of
the steam, but to his horror q ghostly
form appeared at his side and ghostly
hand grasped his wrist and held him
fast. When the station was reached the
ghost disappeared and the engineer
stopped the train some distance beyond.
At least, this is what the engineer tells.
Many people have not forgotten the
terrible Richmond switch disaster
several years ago on the Providence and
Stonington road. a little brook became
swollen by the rain and carried away
railroad bridge. The train came
rushing along that night and was hurled
into the chasm. Giles, the engineer,
when he saw the danger ahead, instead
of leaping from the engine as his fireman
did, grasped the lever and reversed the
engine. But it was to late. The train
was going at such a speed that the
locomotive leaped clear across the
stream, and they found Giles lying
under his overturned engine with the
lever drove through his body and one
hand clutching the throttle valve with
the grasp of death. Giles, when he
came into Providence, was accustomed
to give two peculiar whistles as q signal
to his wife, who lived near the railroad
where it enters the suburbs of the city,
that he was alright and would soon be
home. The absence of those whistles
was the FIRST intimation which was
received at Providence of the disaster.
When the engine which made the terri
BILE leap on that stormy night was re
built and put on the road again there
was at first great trouble in getting
engineers for it, with such q supersti-
tious horror was it regarded. To-day
there are people ready to swear
that they have heard whistles, such as
Giles used to blow as signals to his
wife, sound through the suburbs of
Providence when no train was coming
up the road.

Wichita Beacon: Church property in
this state is exempt from taxation on the
plausible plea that it produces no rental,
and is on the other hand dead load on
the members. People generally have
acouiesced in this arrangement, although
not without considerable grumbling. But
it would really seem that an exception
ought to be made In the case OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church of this city, for the
Beacon reporter has information that
it has been rented to the southwestern
Kansas teachers association next week
for fifteen dollars. We had thought that
the teachers and preachers were in a
sense business partners, both having the
same general object in view, the intellec-
tual and moral instruction Of the people.
Neither class is supposed to be overpaid.
The idea of charging fifteen dollars,
especially when the pastor Of that church
and other ministers of the town are
booked for prominent paris in the per-
formances seems queer.

a treaty which all his predecessors had
failod TO accomplish, and by which he
had eulled ana outgeneraled the
French ministry, and induced it ID
pay not only every just and legal
claim, but many claims that were
considered desperate and doubtful,
This was, perhaps, pardonable ia
young and ard MT man, but Mr..
Forsyth did very wrong in permitting
the latter to be made public, as su5se
quent events proved. BY the condi-
uon Of the treaty the indemnity OF
25 600, GOO frances was 10 be paid in
inStallmentS, and Mr.. Woodbury.,
secretary Of the treasury, was instruct
ed to draw Immediately for one OF
the instsliments. He did draw, and
for the reason that the French cham
Der Of deputies had refused to make
an appropriation to fulfill the treaty
which Louis Philippe had signed and
sanction. And the reason assigned
by the chambers for theiv refusal was
that the American minister, m bis
dispatches TO his government, had
boasted that he swindled the king
and the Due de Broglie In the mean
time Mr.. Rives came home, and the
late Edward Livingston was dispatch
ed to the court of ST. Cloud, instructed
g demand the immediate fuldllment
of the conditions of the treaty of July
4, 1881, and in the event of his meet
ing with any obstacles To the object Of
his mission, 20 demand the passports
and retire to England. He was codly
received; the chambers refused To
make any appropriation, and Mr..
Livingston, as instructed, demanded
his passports and retired 10 London.
Thus stood the case until the month
of January, 1885, when Gen. jackson
issUeda special message recommend
ing the issue of letters of marque and
reprlsal against French commerce.
The message was referred to the com
mlttee OF foreign affairs, Mr.. Edward
Everett, chairman, in the house, and
TO the corresponding committee Of the
senate, of which Mr.. Clay was the
head. The committee OF the house
reported in accordance with the mes
sage Of the president, but that OF the
senate unanimously reported that
nothing should be done until further
information was received from
France.
Louise Philippe managed to have
the indemnity paid, though the
Fresch nation was almost unani
mously opposed to 1t, and certainly
there was ANYTHING but affection
manifested Then Gen Cass appear

Col Robert Scott, u. S. A., IN
charge of the preparation Of the Off
cial history of the rebellion. and who
has had every opportunity TO know
what papers are included IN the war
department archives, says positively
that there is nothing whatever there
that Gen. Pemherton was the least
particle dishonest to the cause he EN-
braced
you see said Col. Scott, that
any man who was of northern birth,
who went into the confederate army,
was the object of jealousy and suspi-
cion by the men aud officers of the
whole south. Gen. Pemberton was
born 10 Pennsylvania, OF Quaker
parents, but he married in Fauquier
county, Virginia, and that took him
south"
Gen. Marcus j Wright, who was
major general in the confederate ser
vice, and who collected the confeder
ate records for the war department,
says
There was always jealousy OF
Pemberton among our people because
we distrusted a northern man, Just as
