A GeOrgia Romance.

About two years before the war, near
pretty and substantial residence near
a prosperous little town in Georgia,
a beautiful young girl, Of about II, was
sleeping in hammock swung from two
stately oaks in grove. She was
pretty picture of innocence and grace
and won the admiration of the passers.
In meadow to the rear a fat. meek
eyed cow reclined in the shade, rumin-
ating the food she had gathered in the
| cool of the morning. But what has the
COW to do with the sleeping girl. is pro-
pounded; well wait and see. Across the
road from the houso, the girl and COW is
meadow, branch running through it,
and coming up the branch is boy with
gun. When within 100 yards of the
girl, and about 15O yards of the COW.
bird flew up and sailed in the air to-
wards the COW. the boy fired at the
bird, which flew on unhurt, but the COW
received strong dose of shot: she i'm
mediately arose in flight, dashed through
the grove, caught the girl and ham,
mock on her horns. and rushed with
her shrieking victim around the lot.
The terrified girl became silent and the
crowd of relatives and friends in pur-
suit thought that she was dead. The
wild fury of the cow as she rushed
around soon tore the netting loose and
the girl dropped to the ground. She
was picked up and taken into the house
and on examination, only "a few minor
bruises were found.
The boy, thinking he was the inno-
cent cause of the killing Of the young
girl, disappeared. All trace of him van
ished. 1t was thought that he had per-
ished by his own hand; but about six
years after the war a travel-stained
stranger was in town inquiring for per-
sons, most of whom had been swept
away by the war. After long search
the stranger found an old man on a load

learned where one Of the parties he was
in search of lived, a few miles out of
town. He went there, made himself
known and turned out to be the boy of
the gun. The people::he found were his
father and mother, who had mourned
him dead for eight years.
The boy had been in South America,
got rich, and yearning for the love of
his old folks, returned to the ;Iesolated
home of his childhood and made his
loved ones comfortable For the first
time then, hearing that the girl was I'M
injured he called on her, found her
pretty, and good and first class woman;
he put in with will, got her heart, as
his own, and the old folks consent and

years one of the leading men of his sec

No Bids Received.

a remarkable phase of the convict labor
problem was presented at Joliet. Illinois,
last week. The state penitentiary author
tiles seem to have surplus of convict la
bor Advertisements have appeared in a
half dozen of the leading papers of that
state for month past offering the men to
be contracted for the highest bidder for
from five to eight years. The board of
commissioners met at the penitentiary to
open bids for the convict labor, but no
bids were received, much to the surprise
of the board. The members concluded
that the agitation of the convict labor
question has intimidated contractors to
such an extent us to cause convict labor
to be placed at discount The authori-
ties are in quandary as to what to do
with the men. tits thought that the con-
vict labor question will be submitted to
the vote Of the people at the next general
election and that it will be abolished.

Cutting Rates.


Last Monday the Santa Fe road issued
instructions to all its agents to give orders
for rebate of $40 on the $50 first class
ticket cut rate, and SIS on the second class
and emigrant cut rate. The Burlington
and Denver & Rio Grande accidentally
hearing of this Immediately issued orders
making first class open rate from the
Missouri river to San Francisco of $50,
and $50 second class 1t IS understood
that the Union Pacific officers, who have
buen notified of dis last reduction in over
land rates, will meet it promptly.
Much excitement was created in rail
road circles Thursday by the announce
ment that the Atlantic & Pacific, in con-
junction with the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, Chicago & Alton and Pennsyl-
vania Central railroads, reduced the price
of limited tickets from San Francisco
and New York to $50. The time within
Which they can be used is ten days This
rate was Immediately met by all other
railroad agents. Limited tickets to Chi
cago from San Francisco also came in for
a cut, and were reduced to $35

RIVER ANDHLRBeE GRAB.

The great River and Harbor grab which
went throug the House after discussion
extending over several weeks takes from
RIVER Commissions their power and
gives it to the Secretary of war. During
the debate an opponent of the measure
severely criticised it. No grandeur of
place, he said, nor insigniicance of spot
was ignored. The bill reached every
where. 1t was not restricted by any I'M
pronounceable name, by any obscurity
of situations or by any difficulty of access
There was nothing that seemed to be too
incredible to be contained in this bill,

ATIMELY SPEECH.

No speech probably has been made
during the present session of Congress
which has created so much of sensa-
ton as the one delivered by Mr.. Hewitt,
on Thursday, when he protested against
any further raids upon the Treasury
under the name of bounties or other
benefits of that kind to soldiers of the
late war. Most Of these propositions are
ill-considered, and although for seventy

question as to the propriety Of any of
these grabs, without rendering himself
liable to charges Of disloyalty, fiiDpantly,
chsaply brought. The reference made
by the gentleman from New York to the
peculiar position of Southern Members,
who are thus embarrassed when they
would like to oppose these ruinous
schemes according to their convictions,
was especially relevant and timely. He
declared that the limit of endurance on
the part Of the tax payer had been reach
ed and that the discomfort on account of
excessive taxation was breaking out in
riots, dynamite, and death. Those who
wanted to drive their hands down into
the Treasury said he, take advantage
of the delicate position in which the
Southern men are placed, being subject
to the charge of disloyslty if they resist
the steal" But no one could make this
charge against him and he would make
the fight.

A few weeks ago, when Canon Farrar
was in this country, tens of thousands
of people paid as much as one dollar to
hear single lecture delivered by him.
and were well pleased with what they
got for their money. Several OF the
most important of these lectures and
addresses, with other papers, are now
published by John B. Alden, OF New
York. and can now be had in a very
handsome cloth-bound volume, for the
price of 40 cents. Some of the lectures
are also published separately in his Elze-
yir Library, in which form the lecture
on Dante sells for cents; on TEMPER
ance, 2 cents; on Ideals of Nations, z
cents; Thoughts of America, 8 cents. The
millions of intelligent people Who adj
mire Canon Farrar, and who were not
able to hear him lecture, will be delighted
to find his brilliant, scholarly and elo'

Apples in Montana.
BozraAs CONSERVATORY, MONTANA.

BOHEMIAN CONSERVATORY, MONTANA.
Mr.. EDrToR.-I noticed, in last months
Farm and Garden letter from farmer
of Gallatin valley on the subject of rails
ing apple trees in that part of the coun-
try. He wrote as being the only one
there willing to try the experiment
again, from which | beg leave to differ,
as I maintain that before six years, APP
pes will be raised in Montana as well as
in other northern countries. The cause
of failure does not altogether arise from
the extreme severity of the climate,
but from the inferior quality of the trees.
Farmers have been duped by unscrupu-
lous agents, who showed nicely colored
plates of fine apples, said to be the fruits
of certain trees. Large orders were Civ
en- in consequence, the trees, though,
were mostly small scrubs, neither grated
nor budded, but generally seedlings, for
which the farmers paid double the price
that reliable eastern nurserymen would
have charged if the orders had been
sent directly to them. Living specimens
of such duplicity can be seen to-day in
the city of Bozeman, some Of them are
over six years old and have not shown a
sign vet of poisoning, even. 1t is gen
erally known that a Seeding does not
come to fruitage until long after grated
trees will be In bearing, and when they
finally do become fruitful the product is
not much good.
will now give you my views, although
perhaps, not correct. He says, "the
trees get killed by the frost" 1t is not
the intense cold of winter which kills
the trees. but the hard frost in the
sprinp In the months of March and
April we have very mild weather, which
causes the sap TO run into the trees and
the buds to start. Later on we are apt
to have two or three nights of severe
cold weather, and, life being in the
young trees, they are in most cases killed
down to the ground. Many old apple
trees testify to this, by the small forest
of young shoots growing up from their
roots. My plan is to prevent this whole
sale destruction, to mulch the trees in
the spring before all the snow melts. A
few forkfulls of coarse manure or other
materials like straw or old hay, spread
about two feet all around the trees, will
keep the ground cold and partly frozen
for week or two later, thereby keeping
the trees dormant. If this is not done
the warmth of the sun will penetrate to
the roots, the sap rise, and the buds
swell. Frost then has easy and sure
victims. This method of treatment is
especially good for young trees. After
they are three or four years old they are
more hardy and will endure the winters
better, though it would be profitable to
do this to all orchards, causing blossom
ing time to come later. when all danger
of frost is over. / have successfully
raised apple trees farther north than
Montana, and know trees from Sharp,
Shea & Co., Woodstock, New Brunswick,
to be bearing fruit in Manitoba, with a
climate far colder than here. Why not
WEI 1 say it can be done, and intend
giving it a thorough trial, by getting
trees from as far north as possible.
