Tho chill that has been gradually diff
fusing itself along the spine Of the place:
hunter ever since Mr.. Cleveland's inaugu.
ration was greatly added to by the Presi.
dents first batch Of important nominations.
After tho first surprise in reading tho list
Of names sent to the Senate there was added
TO tho chill great fear, 1t was fear that
yesterdays appointments might be con-
sidered to- be fair indication Of what may
be expected from Mr.. Cleveland
And they had 10 acknowledge that ic
such should prove to be the fact there was
small hope for them. But not only are

one that sll Mr.. Cleveland has done is to
ignore so.called prominent candidates
and appoint men who had not an assort-
ment Of delegations or bushel or 50 of
papers In their favor. 1t Is not said that
any Of these appoint ments are bad ones. 1t
Is admitted on the other hand that the ap-
pointecs are all good men. This seems to
DO In the nature Of reform. But IL is evil
dent that tho great party of rcform"-tho
Democratic party--can have a little too
much of that article.
While tho President seems to have exor-
cised his own judgment In making yoster-
days appointments, yet, especially in con-
nection with the Phil Thompson episode, Is
it evident that there is a good deal of
Uncle Samuel Randall in the motive. power
of the present Administration. Even Mr..
Durham, who was backed by the kentucky
delegation, and who is made First Comp.
troller of the Currency, has great deal of

April l. Tho Matching will be done
in tho st, Lawrence, at Clayton. An at
tempt was made In 1871 to introduce pike
in the river, and large number Of fry

that with new light aud support in the

Mrs.ToIn Thumb's marriage.

Themarriage of Mrs. General Tom Thumb
TO Count MayIi will take place on Easter
Monday in the Church of the Holy Trinity,
in New York city. Invitations have been
sent to number of the friends of the con-
tracing parties. Mayor Grace, tho Italian
and French consuls and few persons we'll
known in society circles in New York city
will be invited. The. Count and his in
tended wife were averse to having the affair
of public character. With this wish in
view the Count tried to purchase his in
tended brides release from her professional
engagements with the Barnum show, but
without success. Miss Lucy Adams will
act us bridesmaid, while Major Newell, the
husband OF the late Minnie Warren, will fill
the position OF bridegroom. After Mrs.
General Tom Thumbs present engagement
is finished she will start for Italy, where
she will probably settle down for the re-
mainler of her life

FAIR-MINDED people will ndorse the ap-
peal of the Columbia Democratic Club that
the local offices should be given to local men.
The selection of men well known in this
community and identified with it to fill
the city Offices would remove to great ex.
tent the opposition to our form of govern
ment. Where changes are to be made citi-
zens of Washington should certainly be ap-
pointed. There is every reason to believe
that President Cleveland means to pursue
this policy.

Of the etiquette of salntes that Generals
Grant and Sherman could not have sur.
passed.
General Miles also says ~ also noticed
that there were one or two Southern organ.
i2ations in the procession that did not carry
the National colors. The President did
not return their salutations. This was as
much as to say to them that If they ex-
pected recognition from him they must
bring the National colors along"

Cleveland is fit to command a great army.

1t is sometimes a good thing for a
man to have hobby and ride it hard.
1t calls attention to some matter
which thus becomes prominent, dis
cussed, and its good points are seen
and adopted while its extravagances
are sifted out But when the hobby
changed repeatedly one loses conf
dence i'll the person who is INSTEAD
fast and inconsistent. 1t is thus with
an Ohio farmer who few years ago
was writing good deal about manure
and Its absolute necessity for good
crops. While running this hobby
this man by his own statement made
and used Sl0l - worth of rich com
post on each acre for seven years con
secutively. The total value of the
manure made and used on his 36-acre
farm i'll these seven years, estimated
at its value in commercial fertilizers,
was SlS,6iS. Naturally practicing
on this excellent hobby so long the
farm became very rich, and the cat
tie fed upon it and the crops grown
on it were very profitable. The
farmer became noted as one of the
best farmers in Ohio, and they said
she had manure on the brain"

We little dream of the worth Of
many things about us. Would you
suppose that smoke could be made
of any value!
The charcoal works at Grand Rap
ids, Mich, consume 10000 cords of
wood yearly, and even the smoke is
utilized and manufactured into chem
icals by being blown with immense
fans into a purifier, from which it
eventually comes in the form of an
acid that is as clear as amber. From
the acid are produced acetate of lime.
alcohol, tar and gas. Each cord Of
wood contains some $4,000 cubic
feet Of smoke, and 100000 feet of
smoke, handled every "a hours, pro-
duce 1900 pounds Of acetate of lime,
300 gallons of oil. etc.

SWEET POTATOES.

1t is best to dig at or before the first
killing frost. If condition to be
named presently are favorable, it is
better to dig just before frost. These
conditions are dry weather and the
ceasing of growth on the part of the
potato. The potato is then said to
be ripe" and the test usually given
is that broken surface on it dries
off white. This shows full develop
ment of starch, which seems to be the
last stage Of development of the car
bohydrates i'll the tuber. 1t is usual
ly indicated also by the leaves turn
ing yellow. A growing, sappy con-
dition of the plant is not favorable to
the keeping Of the potato.
1t is also very important in the
digging and handling, that the tubers
should not be cut or bruised. The
cut ones should be separated from
the others. Taking it all in all, the
''hill". or bank system is the surest
method of keeping potatoes through
the winter. The base of the hill is
elevated by digging trench all
around, throwing dirt on the base !:
the object is to have it dry. A ven
tilator is made in the center of the
hill, by driving three stakes near,
but not quite touching each other !;
around these the potatoes are in as
sharp a cone as possible-thirty to
forty bushels in a hill liberal COW
ering in pine straw is then put on,
and over it corn stalks or boards
We prefer the latter, placed single
fashion, so as to keep moisture from
the straw; all is then covered in with
dirt to the depth of foot measured
at right angles to the surface of the
boards. The ventilator is left open
at the top and protected by Gaping
to keep rain water from entering.
After the sweating is over, which
will be IN three or four weeks, the
ventilator is closed by filling in well
wit straw. If "a plenty of dirt is put
on the hill and the surface properly
packed and sloped, it is not necessa-
ry to cover the hill with a roof, only
the top OF ventilator need be cover

Did it ever occur to you reader, to
make an experiment Of giving warm
water to milch cows. Yet the expe-
riment has been made and resulted
proftably.
Some interesting experiments have
been made in France on the advan-
tages of giving water to mich COWS
warmed, instead of in its natural cold
state. At the Agricultural School
of st. Remy, two cows were fed on
the same food, but one was supplied
with cold water, and the other with
the water heated to 1l3 degrees Fab
renheit. The latter yielded one
third more milk.
Others have made the experiment
and obtained about the same results
