Mooer's Dako ota Seeding.


Mr.. John Mooers has received the following
voluntary testimonials in regard to the merits
OF the new variety Of potato he is introducing
to the attention Of farmers and others:
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 10, 1856.
have personally tested Mooers' Dakota
its merits and superior qualities. The potato
has thin, smooth, flesh-colored skin, is of
good size aud an excellent keeper. In COOK
ing, the flesh is white, very mealy, and OF ex-
cellent favor. I found one of its fine traits to
be that 1t is not 30 liable to become water
sogged when neglected in the cooking, as is
the case with other varieties. The agricultur
al community and lovers OF fine potatoes should
welcome the arrival OF so important an i'm
provement over the old kinds, and steps should
be taken by agricultural societies to Introduce
1t in various parts Of the country.

Mexican View of the Cutting Case

The Diario Official, the government or
gan OF the city OF Mexico, contains an i'm
portant document regarding the Cutting
case, including the full text Of the decision
Of Judge Zubia, at Paso del Norte. which
shows clearly and Enthusiastically the court
held Cutting for a crime begun on Mexican
soil and continued simultaneously in Texas
and Mexico. This puts a new phase on the
case, as it shows Judge Zubia regarded
the case as one continuous act.
Judge Zubia lays social emphasis on the
TACT that Cutting actually circulated on
Mexican soil his renewal OF the libel pub
!lished in Texas. This renewal of libel pub
lished in Texas is an offense, and were the
case reversed, would be punishable under
the present code in Texas. A. P. Gushing,
an American lawyer, sums up Zubia's decis-
ion thus:
Cutting was convicted of repetition OF Ii.
bel, first published in Mexico and reprinted
more violently in Texas papers, which
uted in Mexico, and it was the
distribution in Mexico of the second
libel, and not the printing OF the same in
Texas, for which he was convicted the libel
having been read by three Or more persons,
as required by statute OF the State of Chi
huahua, Cutting pleadingin the bar to the
jurisdiction OF the Mexican court that the
paper had been printed in Texas. He did
not however, deny that the paper had been
circulated on the Mexican side, which was
q FACT numerous copies having been seized
there by order OF the court.
This aspect OF the case takes away the
phase Of conflict Of law OF the two coun-
tries The publica ton OF the full text OF

Michael Davitt on Home Rule.

"How about Mr.. Gladstone-wiil he
I'VE to see the question settled?''
think SOL hope so. He is de-
vourlng Irish history now and for q
long time back. One result IS that
everybody III the three kingdoms is
reading Irish history, in hotels, on
Trans, IN the fields, in liquor stores, in
Ihe drawing everywhere it is
ireland, Ireland, Ireland. On nv way
across one Of the engineers took me
down to the engine room to quote for
me out OF q history Of Ireland a pas
sage that would prove thatsomething
he had been asserting was correct. Il
IS an immense gain to have
the question discussed in this
way almost everywhere, and will lead
to an early settlement-must lead to
an early settlement
'What do you expect the tory gov
eminent will do?"
"Well, as have already said, there
can be no excuse for coercion, because
the country is so peaceable, but there
Will probably be a rigid and tyranni-
cal application Of the ordinary law,
which will be coercion without the
name. Evictions, which have been
steadily going on, will increase, and the
people will have to resist. Gladstone
said plainly what Ireland said and
says, and what everybody believes,
that in the event of his bill being de-
feated there were only two modes Of
governing Ireland-coercion or home
rule. When the crisis has arrived that
have indicated the tories will have
an excuse to coerce, and will pass a
coercive law and once again imprison
hundreds of men. But it will be the
last coercive law ever passed for Ire
land, for home rule will Immediately

pending this happy contamination
what will the Irish party do in the
house of commons?'
II have offered my advice to Mr..
Parneil upon that very point, and
this was the advice: That the Irish
party should introduce bills dealing
with English, Scotch and Welsh ques-
tions-municipal reform, land law re-
form, extension OF local government,
the educational system and better en-
couragement for primary schools,
schools of art, technical schools and
the scores Of other subjects which the
democracy of those countries would
expect as skirmishes in their favor
from a democratic government in pow
er. The business in the house of COM
mons would thus be taken up with
subjects that were not Irish, the lis
tening democracy OF England, Scot
land and Wales would applaud, and
it is the Irish theywould be applaud
ing as fighting their battles"

She Took the Pledge.

There is a little three-year-old tot,
whose parents live on Fourth street,
who is of a very reflective nature. Not
long ago, in company with her mother,
she was passing the police station. The
door was open and two policemen were
seen around dirty, drunken man who
lay on the floor in drunken stupor.
The little one was much impressed by
the scene, and she. asked her mother
why that man was lying there She
was told he was drunk. That night
she was very uneasy in her sleep, and
after a few hours of restless tossing
she gave a long sigh and muttered,
slowly and determinedly: Il will never
get dwunk as long as / live. Fond

He's Still Rather Cool.

My marriage was very romantic
one," said Chicago gentleman at the
Palace, who is on his bridal tour.
"The lady's former husband was an
intimate friend of mine. He was a
good fellow, but he didn't use her we'll.
Although a gentleman in most re.
spects he was so unfortunate as to
have the drinking habit. and occasion
ally while in liquor he raised the deuce
in the domestic circle. Both he and
the lady were accust omed to come TO
me for advice after these affairs. Get
q DIVORCE said I at last. Agreed,
says they and shook hands on it. In
accordance with the usage OF the best
Chicago society, they separated pend
ing the result OF the legal proceedings.
I visited the lady in her retirement
several times. Frank says the
husband to me, don't you think
you'd better not call on Lizzie while
this divorce business is in progress?'
why, Bob, said I, what the mischief
have you to do with the matter?' I
don't like it, says he. But said l.,
'as she's getting d divorce from you,
and you are consenting, what differ
ence can it make to you who calls on
her?' Frank" says he, looking me
straight in the eye, do you mean to
marry Lizzie?' We'll, Bob,' said I,
the idea never occurred to me before,
but now that you suggest it, | don't
know but what / will. Do you think
she'll be likely to favor the idea her
self?' 1l'm blessed" continued the
Chicago man, "if the fellow didn't
begin to fight the divorce from that
minute. We downed him, of course,
but he's still cool, and even refused TO
attend the wedding. However, when
we get home my wife will manage to
smooth him down. She knows his
ways, you understand. There's moth
ing SO painful to ME as break in an
old friendship, and we both really like
Bob very well, III spite OF his faults -

nent jaw and high cheek bones, and a
haggard eye, all of which correspond
closely with the insane type of face.
Later his delusion of ambition changed
into one of persecution and homicidal
monomania. DR.. Lombroso cites case
after case, all telling the same story.
He includes G,liteau in this list, and
agrees with the opinion of an Italian
alienist that his trial was simply scan
dalous." The real place for such be-
ings is in much-needed Institution
an asylum for insane criminals.
A few words as to criminals who have
acquired their sinful traits. Alcohol is
thz, most common cause. This always
plays a prominent role in political OUT
breaks; the French revolution is no ex-
ception. Here is another great practi-
cal problem needing solution.
So very hasty a sketch of an impor-
tant theory is necess arily unsatisfactory.
1t may serve. however, to call attention
to the fact that a change in our view of
crime and criminals seems about to
take place.
The several interests involved in this
change Of view are many and impor-
tant. When a chemist is called to
court to give expert testimony the law
accepts the results of science as final;
but when the doctor testifies it is at
once evident that the medical and legal
points of view are essentially different
and in conflict with one another. The
law is interested only in the question of
responsibility, and demands a''yes'' or
no. when truly scientific answer
can not be given in that form. A
medico-legal case almost always pre-
sents strange inconsistencies. The law
should certainly be as ready to accept
the testimony of science from the doc
tor as from the chemist, and should re-
member that they may both be equally
valuable though not equally definite.
II such views as those urged by DR..
Lombroso ever become the guiding
principles of the law courts, a great
and beneficial change in the treatment
of alleged insane criminals is sure to
follow. Our knowledg &c of these mark
ed classes is becoming sufficiently ac-
curate and scientific to warrant prac-
tical application of these views in their
legal trials, and theoretical apprecia-
ton of them in our theories of ethics.

Farmers Can Raise Their Own Trout.

There are many farmers who own
trout streams, and would like to have
them restocked. and some others very
feebly attempt to do it by putting in a
few thousand young fish. This would
restock a small stream if it were done
every year for some years. But it is
folly to suppose that large stream.
which has been fshed for years, and
thousands taken from 1T every year,
can be restocked quickly by putting in
few hundred, or even a few thousand
young fry. It is much easier to stock
stream than to raise fish in ponds,
because the young fish will take care Of
themselves much better than anyone
can take care of them, and if they are
protected from danger until they are
about forty-fve days old-which is
about the time the fish culturist takes
charge of them-until they are ready
to feed, they are then tolerably able to
look out for themselves. In stocking
a stream with trout, the young fish
should be taken to its head-waters, or
put into the springs and little rivulets
which empty into it. AS they grow
larger, they will gradually settle down
stream, and run up again to the head
waters in the fall and winter to spawn.
When putting fish into stream, do
not put them suddenly into water much
werner than that of the vessel in which
~ have been transported They
Will not be so likely to be injured by
putting them in water few degrees
colder; but try to avoid ali sudden
changes, and gradually raise or lower
the temperature of the water in which
you bring them, until it is even with
that of the stream in which they are to
placed. Perhaps, in no branch of fish
culture, are the results more immedi-
ate, or more apparent, than in restock-
ing streams. Very many inland streams
that were once inhabited by trout, are
now wholly depleted, not only of that
fish, but of all others. They are beau
tiful, sparkling little streams, but so
far as food=producing element goes,
they are valueless, and in a large ma
jority of cases, they make wonderful
return for the restocking.
No brook, that has once contained
trout, need be without them if the wat
ers remain pure and cold. l believe
there are no waters more satisfactory
to stock than brook trout streams, be-
cause they are always before you. In
stocking waters with shad or salmon,
they migrate to the ocean, and only re-
turn once a year for the purpose of
spawning; with salmon-trout and white
fish. they stay most of the time in the
deep waters of our lakes; but brook
trout remain where they are placed,
grow, and are caught among the resi-
dents, and contribute directly to the
support and amusement of the people.
Streams that have been wholly worth
less in producing food, can be once
more replenished, and be made very
valuable addition to the farm. Seth
Green, IN american Agriculturist.

Damages From the Late storm

Thewind and rain storm OF Sunday night.
The 18th inst, extended over a large portion
of Minnesota and northern Dakota and
numerous casualties are reported At Nor
ris, Mimi, the roof OF the court house was
crushed by the falling OF one OF the large
chimneys. The barns OF DR.. Hulburd
and Z. S. Hall were moved from their foun-

ed in the village. In the country stacks
and shocks were destroyed and tie house
OF Peter Straud was demoralized and its
occupants badly bruised. At Lake Ben.
ton, Mimi, numerous barns and Grain
Astacks were destroyed.
At Elkton the Burlington depot was un.
rooied and the Catholic church blown from
the foundation and badly racked. The
damage in this section will reach fully Sc.
900.
In the aeighborhood Of Dalton the
barns OF Taral Olson. Gunder Rever.
son, H. R. Bergs and Emheald' were blown
down. a new CHURCH was moved sixteen
feet. People hurriedly sought their
cellars. At Browns Valley. MINI.
the house, barn and granary OF
Joseph Bangle were entirely destroyed.
The barn OF w. t. Heike was thrown down
and two horses killed. A barn belong
ing to H. L. Mills, containing five
horses was torn to pieces and a large
amount OF damage was caused to stacks
etc. At Larimore, OAK, the Presbyterian
1church, a high-steepled building and badly
&braced, was blown down and is a total
wreck. Loss, $4,000. Dwellings were
moved from their foundations and chin
neys generally toppled over. Newark, Oak,
80 miles northeast OF Aberdeen on the ex.
tension OF the Milwaukee road, suffer
ed the heaviest. Four persons were killed
and another fatally injured. Among the
victims were the wife and child OF John
Cakes and Mrs. Wait. The other names
are not known.
At Estelline, Oak. lightning struck a
large grain elevator owned by the Van Du-
sen company. 1t was entirely enveloped in
flames and rapidly consumed. Nothing
was saved. 1t contained 5000 bushels OF
wheat, beside flax, 5000 worth OF -four, al
SO barley and salt. The loss is about $15,.
600.
Near Wild Rice, ten miles south OF Fargo,
several buildings were blown down, and on
the w. C. Adams farm Mrs. S. 8. Williams
was struck by lightning, and all the cloth.
ing stripped off her right side.
| All the way down to Abercrombie the
. Fargo Southern track was strewn with
debris, but the greatest damage seems to
have been done at the latter place.
The most serious damage done is the
complete destruction OF the new Congrega.
tional church and the Fargo Southern de-
pot. This building is nothing but a mass
OF kindling wood, and parts Of it are scat
tered as far as McCauleyville, one mile
east.
At LaMoure the Presbyterian church was
blown down and totally wrecked, the loss
amounting to So, 600.
The rain was general in Wisconsin but
did great deal OF good in distinguishing

The Boarding House in Washington

The boarding house women of Wash
ington are numbered. by thousands.
There are two classes of these. The
first merely rent rooms and the second
give board as we'll. 1t is great bust
ness here at Washington for women to
take large houses, paying from $75 to
$500 per month for them, and then to
sublet the rooms to gentlemen or to
families as the case may be. They re-
ceive, as rule, as much for their
ground floor rooms as they pay for the
whole house, and there have been in
stances in which women have made
themselves independent by room-rent-
ing. One hundred dollars and more is
not an uncommon rent here for coup
lie of furnished rooms in a good loca-
ton, and $50 and $50 are often gotten
for two rooms on the second floor A
good third floor front room will bring
$25, and a house that re1ts for 500 a
month unfinished will often bring in
5000 or $3.50 if furnished and sublet,
besides giving room for the landlady.
A number of landladies make money
here keeping clearinghouse. and the
one who entertained w. d. Howells
during his last sojourn in Washington
has been able to buy the house in which
she lives, which is worth about $40, 600,
and is now starting new hotel near
the treasury. Of course her success is
phenomenal, but there are numerous
others who are doing well in similar
way, and the number of those who
make their living by feeding others is
legion. Cor. Cleveland Leader.
