TWIN BRIDES AND GROOMS
Remarkable Quartette That Went
to WASHINGTON.

Stanwix in Albany Argus: This was
q double breasted set of u bridal tour
lists that wandered through the capitol
yesterday. The brides were twin
blondes, with beautiful faces and tig-
ures alike, and the sealskin sacques
and caps and satin dresses were exact
copies of each other. They were de-
cidedly Gifted, and wore gold-rimmed
eye glasses. had q cultivated ball room
walk, and in a city parlor would be
taken for bellies decidedly handsome,
refined. They came from the back
woods of Clinton county. But the
grooms were specimens to behold.
Gawkish, yawkish, bawkish in speech
and stride, and every movement
showed that they had been raised in
the neighborbood Of a thousand miles
from civilization, and they were taking
their first trip on a city horse car.
Pants that showed the red tops of their
stockings, and coats hat fitted them
too quick at the neck, and ut she back
there was room enough to stuff feather
pillows inside, were the first striking
indications to lead an observer TO in
quire where they were found,
and what in heavens name
were such beautiful women about
when they consented to cook beefsteak
and wafiiles for life for such mis-
matched husbands. Their vests had
1at ok.rrvy h~nra hy- 2-. A.
front, and they each fumbled with
them as if reciting, ''rich man, poor
man." &C., &c, to themselves. No
doubt they were honest and would
make good husbands. This was de-
picted on their faces, several inches1
wide. Their pretty wives did not
seem to notice them, and they fol
lowed on behind as if this was their
place. But in the party was a fifth
person. He was a doctor. He was
accompanying the bridal tourists I'M
professionally; but it was said he
wanted to be on hand for medical SER
vice should the grooms be scared to
death at city sights. 1t was q rare
bridal combination. The twin wives
were so much alike that it appeared
impossible TO tell them apart. They
could pick out their husbands in the
dark, however. Gosh darned pretty
building this far" said one. You
should say, Joseph" replied his wife,
this is a fine building, handsome and
restful in appearance within and an
honor to our state" This WAS TOO
much for Joseph. and he bawled out:
Lets 60 to the hotel; I'm hungry.
Deuce take the Capitol. All you can
see is a stone yard from beginning to
end" The look of contempt that
went up from their twin wives would
turn buttsrmllk into vinegar.

A Great Conspiracy.

The Philadelphia Record has this to
say OF the coal operators conspiracy to
put up the price of coal: A coterie of
eight men. sitting in the parlors of a
New York banker named j. Pierpont
Morgan. decided recently to limit the
anthracite coal production of Pennsyl-
vania during the present year to 49,
500, 600 tons. 1t is hardly necessary to
point out the illegal character Of the
combination that issues such a decree.
The parties to it are guilty OF criminal
conspiracy for attempting to restrain
trade. They array themselves against
public policy and they endanger the
charters OF the companies for which
they act. Since the recent decision of
the supreme court of Pennsylvania in
the Duncan and Patent cases, it has
been evident that the Reading and
other railroad companies which were
engaged in the business of mining
were violating the highest law
Of tho state without a shadow
OF excuse for their action.
They could have no serious defense
in any proceeding which might be
brought against them to annul their
charters. Under these circumstances
their managers should have busted
themselves to protect these great prop
critics from the entsnglements of liti-
cation; but, instead of taking this
wise course, they have gone in the
contrary direction by combining to re-
strain trade and to advance the price
OF an article which enters into gen.
eral consumption. This was done by
what they call IAN understanding be-
tween gentlemen" They decided,
after an hours consultation, &c levy a
tax of So, 200. 900 a year upon the coal
consumers of the New England and
Middle states, doing this by the issu-
ance OF an order for an advance of %
cents per ton on the price of coal.
Why is it that these conspirators who
trample upon the law are not made to
suffer. Is it because they are men of
wealth, and run banks and have politi-
cal il influenced We are told that it is
illegal for laboriug men to combine
is their interests. But combinations
Of tho rich arc entirely diforont. Those
coal operators would Ginvoke the
power of the state of Pennsylvania If
those upon whose labor they thrive
would dare to take steps to protect
themselves.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-After routine bust
ness at 2 o'clock the interstate commerce bill
was placed before the senate, and Mr.. Cam

would, In its main features, Mr.. Camden
thought, meet the views OF the senate and the
people. The public sentiment OF the country,
he sad, was daily becoming more and more
impressed with tho necessity and proprlety Of
q national commission TO regulate Interstate
commerce. Mr.. Camden suggested an amend
ment emitting the words "from the same oIig-
inal point Of departure" and emitting any
permission to the commission to make ex-
ceptions. His amendment would prohibit any
greater charge for a shorter than for q longer
distance, which includes a shorter distance on
any road, the term zone railroad" to include

BY David Christie Murray,
AUTHOR OF "a MODEL FATHER, "a LIES
AroNEMENT," ETC.
CHAPTER I.-CONTINUEp,


Contrary to Tregarthen's expectation
no immediate action followed upon his
refusal of the Majors ultimatum. A
day or two went by, and he was simply
disregarded. No brother officer came
near him; he heard nothing about the
continuance of his arrest or its discon-
tinuance, and, after waiting in his own
quarters until the sense of tedium be-
came too marked to be easily endured,
he wrote careful little missive to the
Colonel, requesting to know what form
the charge against him would take,
and when it would be preferred. In re-
Spouse to these inquiries came a letter
from the Adjutant informing him that
the character of the charge was under
consideration, that he would receive
ample warning of the date on which it
would be preferred, and that he was in
the measNeime to regard hims elf as be-
ing released from active participation
in regimental duties. Following on
this came another letter (signed by
every officer of the regiment, with the
exception sof the Colonel, the names
following each other in order of senior
ity). urging upon him the extreme de-
sirableness of withdrawal from the
regiment, and suggesting, in terms of
stud ed politene $, that even the serv-
ice at large might manage to get along
without him.
This second epistle Tregarthen left
unanswered, but he appealed to the
Adjutant to know whether he might re-
gard himself as being Professionally at
liberty; and being answered in the af-
firmative, he set out for London. He
found his story there before him,
garbled, as such stories are. He had
drunkenly insulted his Colonel, had
thrown wine glass at HMM milder
versions, had only thrown the contents
of the glass-in versions even stronger,
had used decanter as missile.
He suffered much heart burning be-
fore the court-martial summoned to de-
eide his case was appointed; and if he
had expectations of support from any
court of honor, they were dashed to
pieces. The assemblage of officers and
gentlemen who investigated the history
of the quarrel were unanimously
against him. They were also unani-
NOUS in their recommendation that he
should quit the service. This, with the
.obstinacy natural to him, he utterly de-
clined to do; and the upshot of the
whole matter was that, when all due
formalities had been accomplished, the
contumacious youth was deprived of
his commission, and was returned to
the world with character more dam
aged than it deserved to be. Discipline
must be maintained, and there is no
doubt that if Comets were accustomed
publicly to rebuke their Colonies for
breaches of good breeding the British
service would enter on phase |
of some novelty.
Tregarthen went home Disguised and
embittered. The only career he cared
for was closed to him for good and all;
and even in later years, when expert |

two-and- twenty can commonly boast
of, he believed himself to have been I'M
justly used.
1t seemed necessary to relate this
episode of his career for two reasons

HUMOROUS.
The Origin ns atossuitoes,

The Indians have Q very Satls- factory account of the origin of the Moutozuma mosquitoes. The ,ec.eud runs tl us: There waa in times of old, many moons ago, two hugo feathered monsters, permit ted by the Mauitou to ucscend from the sky and alight on the banks of the Senceca river. Tleir form was exactly that of the mos quito. They were so large that they flew to the earth. Standing one on either bank they guarded the river, and stretching their long necks into the canoes ot tue h. diaus as they attempted to paddle along the stream, gobbled them up as the stork king in the fable gob- bled up the frogs. The destrvc- ton oflife was sa great that not an Indian eould pass without being deyoured in the attempt. It was long before the monsters could Dc exterminated, and then only by the combined efforts of all the war riors of the Cayuga and Onondago nations. The battle was terrible but the warriors finally triumphed and the mammoth mosquitoes were slain. and left unburied. For this neglect thc Indians had to pay dearly. The carcasses decompos ed and the particles, viviiied bl the sun; flew of in clouds of mos quitoos, which have filed the coun try ever since. Planter ank Stock man.

TnthrcscG Oats for Horses.

Unthreshed oats are better feed for horses than the grain alone, or grain and straw both fed, but separately. The albuminoid ratio of the grain of oats is 1.6l; of the straw of oats, 3,l09. The food for horses at ordinary work should havo an 8lbuminoid ratio of 70. Hence, the grain of oats should be mixed with food having Il lower albuminoid ratio. We might get ration-having the proper ratio by using corn with the oats. But it is well known that for grain to be well digcsted 1t must be eaten with some sort of stoycr to form the necessary bulk in the stomach. For stoyer we
 might use timothy, which has an albumnoid ratio of l.Sl, and would give the necessary bulk. But 1t is better to have the grain and stovor eaten together. We
 may cut the hay, mix it and the
 grain together, and m0isten the
 mixture; but we accomplish the sane thing more ecomically by feeding unthreshed oats, for then the grain, all the chaE and n good part of tho straw are maSticatcd together. By thus feeding oats We not only improve the albuminoid ratio of the ration aud provide the the necessary forage masticated with the grain, but VIC save the expense of threshing. Oats to be fed in this way should be cut be- fore they arc quite ripe, cured thoroughly, and then moved away, They are just the feed for winter, when the lorses requre carbo-hy- drateS; and because of their man ner of feeding arc so well digestcd, and are so well suited to the wants of the horse that he win do a great deal better upon them than he would upon almost any other food.
