The sooner the young lambs are locked,
and the males emasCulated, the easier the
operations may be performed. We have
been In the habit Of going through the
flock once a week with o pair Of sharp
sheep shears, and clipping the tails and
c~astrating by one single clip. The lamb
is held under the left arm, and the skin Of
the tall is slipped up toward the root with
the fingers OF this hand the tail Is then
clipped off with the shears. A pinch Of
powdered blud.stone (sulphate Of copper,

drawn down and matted together with the
little blood that escapes. Nothing more
Is required, and the wound heals quickly,
the lamb eYinCing no indications OF suffer-

inches from the root, 80 as to leave sufi.

"Noble Order Of the Knights Of Labor

1t certainly does seem as il some othe'

, The history Of knight Errantry is toe
well known TO need explanation. 1t had
It's uses, Of course, and 1t had some
chiyalric impulses in regard to redressing
wrongs that always excite our admiration.
however little, as a rule, they amounted
TO In a practical direction.
To the average mind 1t would seem as
II some such name as the Sons of Toll OF
Brothers Of Labor would have come nearer
the American idea OF what a title should
represent. There is something pathetic
and sympathetic in such names as these
something that at once awakens a re-

That is an aristocratiC designation. II
sayora too much Of a~Iectatton. And II
affords those who have really no sym

Still, as'we believe, the cause OF labor
in this country is strong enough to resist
all such mistakes as this. 1t IL
not its nsme but what the or.

the hot headed misjudgment OF the

mistakes Of those leaders that lend edge

These mistakes enable such papersto intro

CHARGES AGAINST A CoLoRED PREACHER.
For some time past the members of the
various colored church organizations of the
city have been exercised over certain
charges brought by one Margaret Payne
against Rev. Wesley F. Graham Of undue
intimacy with her daughter, aged about IA.
Graham is pastor of the Third Baptist
Church, and at recent meeting of that
congregation a committee of deacons was
appointed to examine into the matter. 1t
was announced that the deacons would sub
NIT their report at congregational meeting
last night, and the building was consequent.
ly crowded at an early hour. The commit
tee presented their report soon after the
meeting was called to order, which exone-
rated the defendant from the charges which
had been preferred, and upon vote being
taken the report was adopted. all the large
crowd voting "aye" save six. Upon the
announcement by the moderator thai the
report was adopted Margaret Payne the
prosecutrix) and her mother and daughter
proceeded to leave the building the latter
crying to Graham as the trio elbowed their
way through the crowd, "You did it-you
know you did it," The wife of the accused
was also in the church, and as the three dis
gruntled ones passed the pew in which she
was seated, she turned to the Payne woman
and said, "You pat that child up to say
that, and was duly slapped in the mouth
by Margaret. Graham, seeing the trouble
between his wife and the prosecutrix, made
leap from the pulpit and was soon at his
wife's side, when he seiztd the assailant Of
ha wife and quite q struggle ensued, during
which the woman "got in" a tolerably good
lick on Graham's frontispiece. By the aid
of several in the audience the affair was qui.
eted down, and the meeting shortly afterward
adjourned. This morning Graham, suppo5
ing his female antagonist would apply for a
warrant against him, anticipated her AID
had her arrested for disorderly conduct and
for "disturbing church meeting" The
Mayor, upon hearing the testimony, fued
the woman s.. During the trial the PAYNE
woman reiterated her charges against Ora
ham, giving minute particulars of the
schemes she alleges Graham used to inveigle
her daughter into the paths of error. One
of her assertions was that the accused would
ascertain on what days she would be away
from her home, when he would make it con
veniant to appear there and send Que OF her
daughter away to take music lessons" SO
he and the other could be alone. The May
or said he had nothing to do with that mat
ter, the case before him being merely one Of
dsorderly conduct and disturbing relig-
ious meeting. Margaret denied that the
meeting last night was of q religious char
acter, asserting that it was disorderly in its
nature, and that those who came together
had anything else but spiritual matters in
their heads.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

The business outlook is not very encouraging,
though there may be slight Improvement noted,
and as tho coming wheat crop begins to move
moro activity may be looked for. Money matters

quoted in Baltimore as low as 3a4 per cent, and
discounts at 4a5. Call loans in New York are
readily made at 1aa21b per annum. o. S. bonds

The RICHMOND AND DANvILLE ROAD
1t is reported in New York on the authori-
ty of General Manager Thomas, of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad. that the
headquarters of that company will be moved
early next month from Richmond to Wash
ington.
Mr.. Thomas has asked the District of Go.
lumbia Commissioners for permission to es.
tablish freight depot on the square west of
the north end of the Long bridge, and to lay
tracks from the existing tracks of the Penn
sylvania Railroad across the lower end OF
Fourteenth street southwest for the purpose
Of convenient access to the proposed depot.
In.reply the commissioners say that in con-
formity with a recent decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States authority
to grant the desired permission, so far, at
least, as the laying of the tracks is con.
cerned, is not vested in the District commits
sioners, and they are therefore without pow.
er to grant the privilege in the absence of
an act of Congress authorizing them to do
so. The commissioners recognize the value
of suitable railway service to the District,
and, 80 far as can be done without injury to
private or public rights or interests, are
prepared to exercise to the utmost the pow
ers and discretion intrusted to them for the
bettermeut of this service; but it is not com.
peteut for them to overstep the legal limits
of their authority.
