What Was Hi. NnmeY

A rebel Major General who drew his sword against the gov ernment that educated him got q fat place yesterday.-Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
 And was his name Longstreet? Probably not, as that Republican Rebel Major is on the retired list. Or was it Mahone? No; he is only a Rebel Briga- dier," but it is understood that for the first time in years he, too. manifests a retiring disposition. Nor was it Key, nor Settle, nor Alderman, nor Holden, nor any of the Rebel Brigadiers who got their fat appointments years ago almost before they had wiped their swords dry-for becoming Republicans.-New York World.
 Possibly it was Mosby, who ac- cepted a commission from a Re publican administration and went abroad to represent this Republic in a distant land, or perhaps it may have been Fitzgerald, Asso- eiate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Arizona, who, before he was eighteen years of age, received his commission as captain of a Confederate volun- teer company of Mississippians, and was foremost in the fight The Commercial Gazette should not show its animus-it is in bad taste, even by inuendo, to ipsinu- ate that because the President of the United States thinks proper to nominate for offico one who fought for swhat he conceived tc be right, has done that which he should not have done. We will venture the opinion that the Ga zette man never drew his sword in defense of the government, and that he did not smell gunpowdel during the times that tried mems souls. If he snuffed the smoke oi battle he was at a long distance from the scene of action. Re member that "Peace hath her vic tories no less renowned than war Let up, please, and give us 8 rest.

The Game of Poker.

From an Exchange.
 A man who can sit in his pew in 1 church when the collection plate is being passed, with his eye re- verted on the ceiling and seeming to be engaged in silent prayer, while his fingers are in his pocket squeezing a nickel until his finger nails are bloodshot, has mistaken his calling. Such a man should rope in suckers to play poker. The most successful poker player We ever knew was truly good man who acted as usher in church. He could disguise his feelings so you could not tell whether he had a sequence or pair of deuces. He would draw a pair of queens and get two more, and then he would throw down his hand in disgust, but finally, as he thought it over, he would say that he guessed he would simply chip so he wouldn't lose his blind, and somebody would bet S10 to raise him out, and he would see the raise and come back with a roll and scare the man out of his boots. He was very successful, but finally they brought charges against him of heresy, and he went West with his savings, and now owns a bonanza farm in Dakota.
 Poker is being played so largely in society that man must be very careful how he sits into a game. Not long ago, gentleman who had played some years ago was at a card party at the home of friend, and he was invited to sit in with a couple of dudes and couple of dudesses, and being an old bachelor, he thought he would show them that, though he was no dude, he could play poker. The first hand he got three ten spots, and a girl drew one card and bet dollar. He raised her five, think ing she might have two pair, when she came back at him with ten dollar bet, and he laid down his three tens, believing she had filled. As she raked Tn the money she laid down her hand, and it was Q bob-tail flush. The bachelor said she played that bob-tail flush like she had fours, and there was not movement of a muscle Tn her face, though she breathed hard and there was a seal-skin cloak gleam in her eye that paralyzed him. On another hand, she looked as though she had lost every friend she had, and seemed to be sick with ennui, and her whole face, as she simply put mp chip, seemed to be pleading with him to please not bet high, as she was only a poor orphan; but he bet $10 just to show that he knew his business, and to get his money back. Instead of laying down her hand she languidly threw down $50 and said she would raise him S20, just to keep up the interest, and thinking of the bob-tail flush she had bluffed on him before, he put up the money, and she threw down four jacks as innocent as a a baby, and he had only nine spot full, and she, as she raked in the money, laughed so sweetly that the bachelor said he did not care for the money. The game of poker is fashionable, and is dan gerous unless a man knows enough to cut the cards.

But what is education? Of course 1t is not book-learning. Book-learning does not make 5 per cent. of that mass of common sense that ''runs" the world, trans acts its business, secures Its pro- gress, trebles its power over na- ture, works out in the long run a rough average justice, wears away the worlds restraints and lifts off its burdens. The ideal Yankee, who "has more brains in his hand than others have in their skulls" is not scholar; and two-thirds of the inventions that enable France to double the worlds sunshine, and make Old and New England the workshops of the world, did not come from colleges or from minds trained in the schools of science, but struggled up, forcing their way against giant obstacles, from the irrepressible instinct of untrained, natural power. Her workshops, not her colleges, made England, for a while the mistress of the world; and the hardest job | her workman had was to make OK | ford willing he should work his wonders.-Wendell Phillips.

Forcing Potatoes Early.

Every owner of farm or garden should
endeavor to start few hills of potatoes
for very early use. Old potatoes often get
to be very poor for table use the last of
June. and the good housewife becomes
impatient tor the new crop. We have
forced the crop by planting in hot-bed
early in April, and then transplanting as
soon as the weather becomes warm enough
for open air culture. The sets can be laid
in quite thickly. say two to three inches
apart in the bed. This will give from
four TO nine square inches of surface for
each plant. The transplanting should be
done before the root growth gets so large
rs to require much breaking of the roots
when separating the sets as they are taken
from the bo:-bed.
A very much simpler way of Fastening
early growth is to set a few quarts Of
small sized potatoes in warm. light
room, a couple of weeks before planting,
Spread them out singly, so the light will
fair upon the whole OF the potatoes, and il
they are all set up 80 the seed end will be
uppermost, there will usually be one
leading center bud, that will develop in
advance of all the other buds. If the pc.
tatoes are pianteu WIN care, SO as 10 save
this centre bud uninjured. the other side
buds or eyes will often remain dormant
Buds exposed to the full light, grow short
and stout, and when planted, throw Out
feeding roots Immediately. A box two
feet square. will hold potatoes enough in q
single layer for raising all large family
would nse in three or four weeks, and
such box can be set in any sunny win.

Calves for the West.

New England dairymen are beginning
to find quite q brisk demand for both
heifer and steer calves to be sent out to
the Western stock rsisers. Ranch life is
far from beng favorable to the produc-
ton and rearing OF young stock in full
proportion to the number of older animals
grazed and slaughtered. The time may
come when Eastern methods of feeding
and sheltering stock upon the plains will
oe adopted, but at present. an entirely
different fashion prevails. and the animals
are often subjected to perils which only
the most hardy can endure. We have re-
Gently received private letters from par
ties who speak very encouragingly of the
prospect for Eastern farmers in this d.
rection. Buyers from the West are look
ing through the dairy sections of New
York State and New England, buying up
calves to be sent West to replace the three
and four year-olds that are being annually
drafted from The ranches for supplying
the Eastern and European markets.
We have long felt that Eastern dairy
farmers have killed too many of their
veal calveSand 'deacons' for their own
interest. or the interest the country at
large, and we hope this new demand will
teach the lesson we ought to have learned
earlier. Nor should the calves be all sold
to 90 West, for our own farms are far
from being as fully stocked as they
should be- We should raise more stock.
and keep more on our farms than we
have done in the past We may rs we'll
grow large part of the beef, and make
the butter and cheese we consume, as to
huv IL from the West All that ia needed
is belief that we can do it. and the enter
prise and energy to carry our belief into
practice.-N. E. Farmer.

American Shore" running from the
upper suspension bridge to Port Day, and
including Prospect Park. The various
separate portions constituting this tract
have been appraised, and the Supreme
Court has confirmed the appraisement,
which fixes the value of the lands in ques-
ton at 81 .433. 429 80. The commissioners
recommend the appropriation of this sum
by the legislature for the purchase of these
lands, and the establishment of a State
Reservation, as the only means of pre-
serving the scenery of Niagara. The
highest interests of the people of our State
will be promoted by the passage of the
bill in which this plan is embodied. There
is no ground tor opposition except what is
sordid and hostile to public spirit. No
man in public life will hereafter be able
to feel pride or satisfaction in the remem-
brance that he resisted the endeavor OF the
people OF the State of New York to rescue
the scenery of Niagara from destruction.

The Attempt to Save Niagara

A natural phenomenon of the proper
tons of Niagara constitutes public
trust. The people cannot escape respon-
sibility for its care and preservation. even
if they would. The experiment of private
ownership and management of the lands
about the Falls has been fully tried, un-
der circumstances more favorable than
can ever exist in the future, and has failed
completely. The existing state of things is
one which no intelligent person can de-
fend. The decentralization is natural and
inevitable; competition between the own
ers of rival ''points of view" naturally
develops tendency to the employment Of
tawdry. sensational attractions. The in
creasing ugliness everywhere; the de-
struction of vernal beauty and freshness :;
the crowding of unsightly structures tor
manufactures of various kinds around the
very brink Of the Falls; the incessant
bounding of travellers, and the enormous
exactions of which they are the Victims
ali these evils are inseparable from the
system of private ownership OF the land,
and nothing could be more idle or fruit
less than to find fault with individuals be-
cause the results of the system are disa-
greeable and mischievous
The only practicable remedy is owner

This is the object of the measures recon-
