CINCINNATI, Feb. l4.-An extraor-
binary scene took place tonight at
Music Hall. 1t was the closing night
Of the meetings of Sam Jones and
Sam Small. The services were to
begin st 1880. At G O'Clock, when
the doors were opened, over 5000
were pressing for admission and five
minutes after six every seat in the
hall was taken. Then the stage was
packed until people, among them
wemen, sat ON the front edge. Eight
thousand people were packed in the
house. The Odeon adjoining was
also packed full. Small preached
there. At seven o'clock, when DIR.
Joice made his way to the stage, he
said he had entered with great diff
Guilty; that the froEt of the hall was
packed with people vainly trying to
enter, and that the streets for three
squares were solid mass of people.
He was sure that $4,000 people had
tried to enter Music Hall. Fifteen
minutes later another minister ar
rived and said there were thirty
thousand unable to get in. Ten min
utes later Sam Jones appeared and
said a policeman had told him there
were 10000 people in and about the
Music Hall. Jones preached to an
attentive audience.

The Valentine Business.

lntelligeneer
Dealers. who have been interview
ed ON the matter have stated that
Valentine trade this year has been
as good if not better, than that of
last year, but the figures obtained
from the postoffice fail to carry these
statements out. Probably dealers
have been selling finer goods and
not SO many in number as in prev
ious years and thereby increasing
the amount of each received. In
1884, on st Valentines Day, there
was received at the Wheeling post
office Jos letters, the postage on
which amounted to $192S; in 1885
the letters numbered l,273; and the
postage amounted to $I9.40 Yes
terday the letters numbered only
70S the postage on which amounted
to $13.7l. The business done on Sat
urday was light, and the Valentine
business done on both days shows
a decided falling off. A large num-
Der of the souvenirs purchased must
have been delivered in person.

Scheme for it's Adjust.
memt Now Proposed.

RICHMOND, Va. February lin
the Senate to-day bill prepared by
Lieutenant Governor Massey was
introduced by Senator Wingfeld
to facilitate the settlement of the
public debt of the State A lengthy
preamble gives the history of the
debt, the apportionment of one third
to West Virginia, the reasons that
impelled the General Assembly to
pass the Riddleberger bill and the
equities of the whole case. The bill
authorizes the Governor to appoint
three citizens of Virginia as Board
of Commissioners to confer with the
bond holders, and to acquaint them
with the material and financial con
dition of Virginia, and explain the
facts which make the settlement
under the Riddleberger act just and
equitable, and its acceptance by them
necessary for the protection of their
interests. The Commissioners are
empowered to take steps to adjust
with West Virginia a just proportion
of the State debt as it existed prior
to the 1st of January, 1861. to be
borne by West Virginia, and not by
Virginia. The bill further provides
that the amount secured to be paid
by West Virginia, shall be divided
pro rata among the holders of West
Virginia certificates which have been
issued under the different acts of the
General Assembly of Virginia, OF
which may be issued before the LIST
of January, 1887.

Our Progress.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson shows that
in the last twenty years the iron pro-
duction of the United States has in
creased by 800 per cent, railway
mileage 270 per cent, the amount OF
fire insurance 295 per cent, the cot
ton crop l76 per cent, and the pop
ulation so per cent, while the pub
lic debt has decreased by "a pei
cent, and the per capita ~ per cent
The cereal crops have increased
about $50 per cent, over those OF
twenty years ago.
The design of this synopsis is
merely to illustrate our national
progress in a general way, which, SC
far as regards farm produce, and the
railway expansion, which sprane
from it, and the iron expansion
which sprang from both, and the in
evitable shrinkage in debt from the
war climax, is encouraging enough
Aside from this view, it is noticea-

keep the ports open, or else give the
farmers and miners vacation-say

expenses of which would perhaps be
cheerfully borne by the artisan in

1t is due TO Mr.. Atkinson to say that
these are not his own differences from
the calculations he offers.-Couric,

Care Of Horses.

II those having the care Of horses
would study into the question ofcare
and management it would conduce
to the well being of the animals and
the profit of the owner. For in
stance, it has been stated, and widely
copied in journals without comment,
that to give horse style and grace
he should he fed from colthood up
in manager so high as TO cause some
exertion to reach the food. Nothing
could be wider of the mark aimed at.
If an animal has not the physical
conformation to give style he can
never be made to assume high
head without impairing valuable
points elsewhere. In fact, if high
head could be given by feeding from
high Manager. this would cores
pondingly depress the spinal column
behind the shoulders. Improved ac-
ton and style are the result of care
full training, and can only be devel-
oped measurably in any animal. In
other words, you cannot even meas
ureably change the conformation of
an animal without in the same meas
ure changing the center of gravity
Hence, stumbling and other disabili-
ties. The horse naturally chooses
to stand with his fore feet somewhat
higher than the hind feet. For the
farm horse especially the feed-box
should be rather low than high, and
the manger, and not a rack to be
reached up to, should hold the hay.
The horse that works all day re-
quires rest at night. The owner
who gives the best food, grooming,
and bedding to the animals under
his care gets the most labor out of
them for his money. The food and
drink should especially be clean and
of the best. Not long since an item
went the rounds that dusty or muBty
hay was as good as the best, if mois-
tened with slightly sailed water.
The medication does not in the
slightest alter the bad qualities Of
the hay. The result of such feeding
is windbroken, heavey horses. Mus
ty hay is not even fit for decent store
cattle.
In winter nothing about stable
is more economical than good, heavy,
warm. blankets to be worn in the sta
BILE and to be carried with the team
wherever driven, with which they
may be covered when standing. Let
ting down the check rein when going
up hill and easing the rein when
horses are at rest should naturally
be suggested to the driver. Yet how
many are instructed to do SO. 1t is
attention to little things that brings
profit, and in no respect in farm
economy are many owners more der
elict than in the care of teams Of
horses and mules.

Able TO support Her Titled
Husband.

About six years ago James E.
Brown, of Kittanning, Pa, died pos
sessed of a very large personal and
real estate. Then followed litigation
among the heirs. in which Lord Lin
ton, British Peer, who had married
a daughter of Mr. Brown, figured
quite prominently. Wednesday last,
Judge Acheson, of the United States
District Court, decreed the partition
recommended by the Master. The
widow, Mrs. Kate f. Brown, gets
$74,417.14 for the term of her natural
life; James E. Brown, jr., the son of
deceased, receives as his share $751;
935.43, and Lady Phebe r. Elvira
Linton, the daughter, is given $751;
944.65. On the death of the widow.
her share is divided half and half
between son and daughter.-News.

DrOoDins Shoulders.

This is serious evil. 1t compro-
misses both appearance and vitality.
A STOPPING figure is not only famil-
lar expression of weakness or old
age, but it is, when caused by care
less habits, direct cause of con-
tracted chest and defective breathing.
Unless you rid yourself of this crook
while at school, you will probably go
bent to your grave. There is one
good way to cure it. Shoulder brac-
es will not help. One needs, not an
artificial substitute, but some means
to develop the muscles whose duty
it is to hold the head and shoulders
erect. l know of but one certain
remedy. 1t is carry a weight on the
head. A sheep skin OF other strong
bag filled with twenty to eighty
pounds of sand is a good weight.
When engaged in your morning stud
les, either before or after breakfast,
put this bag of sand on your head,
hold your head erect, draw your chin

about the room, coming back, if you
please. every minute or two to your
book, or carrying the book as you
walk. The muscles whose duty it
is to hold the head and shoulders
erect are strengthened, and the bones
of the spine and the intervertebral
substance will soon accommodate
themselves to the new attitude. One
year of daily practice with the bag
half an hour morning and evening,
will give you noble carriage, with
out interfering moment with your
studies.
1t would be very difficult to put
into a paragraph more important in
struction than this. Your respira-
ton, voice and strength of spine, to
say nothing of your appearance, will
find a new departure in this cure
of dropping shoulders. -Dio Lcwis.

Why is it that boys are allowed to
sit around a house doing nothing,
while their over worked mother is
struggling against nature and fate
to do about half the work waiting
for her hands? Only the other day
we saw three large, able bodied boys
lounging about the house, not know
ing what to do with themselves,
while their mother, tired and pale,
was trying to do all the work for a
large family and company alone.
Not boys work to help about the
house? Why not? Is there any
thing about washing dishes that will
injure him or which he cannot learn
to do well?-or about making beds,
or sweeping, or setting the table, or
washing, or ironing, or, cooking a
plain meal of victuals? On the con
trary, there is much to benefit him
in such work, the most important of
which is the idea that it isn't manly
to let the weaker vesser'(?) carry

for strong young hands to help.
Most boys would gladly help in the
house if they were asked to do so
and were taught how to do the work
properly. Many smart boy wants
to help his tired mother but doesn't
know how beyond bringing in the
wood and water and shoyelinp n
path through the snow. That done,
she tells him to 90 and play while
she plods YEARLY on. Not boys
work, For shamel 1t is a positive
harm to boys moral character to
allow him to think it right to be
idle while his mother is staggering
under her burdens. Let the boys
help, and those who can't get help
''for love or money!" as they often
write us, will see their troubles dis
appear.
