A olsousrEn LANDLORD.
He Is Cursed with q Tenant Who Can
Not BE Induced to Move.


New Haven (Conn.) Special
Leopold Putzel is a shoe dealer who has
store at No. 463 State street. He also
has tenant, who pays no rent and rules
one part of the premises so thoroughly
that Putzel has been trying to evict him
for weeks without tbs slightest success.
He is Tom Hayward, a short, thick-sst
negro, with bad eye, and q big axe.
Hayward took fancy to Putzel's cellar
early in the winter, and coolly took pos
session. Putzel objected mildly, but it did
no good, and the colored squatter had
things all his own way. Finally, the In
voluntary landlord went down the cellar
stairs, with number of cruel things all
ready on the tip Of his tongue, but he
didn't get chance to say any of them,
Tor the negro promptly chased him up
stairs and frightened him so badly that
his cries aroused the whole neighborhood.
Hayward, who supports himself by doing
odd jobs about the city, went to his work
as usual the next day and returned at
night, going down to his cellar after a
solemn warning to Putzel that if the
latter ever came down stairs again he
would never go up alive.
Then Putzel tried strategy. One day
the weather prophets said that a cold wave
doors and removed the windows. The
blizzard came and the cold cellar made
Putzel's place almost uncomfortable, but the
cOlored man seemed to bear the freezing
weather very philosophically. He merely
told PutZel that he had made up his mind
to occupy the basement permanently.
Putzel could do what he pleased with the
rest of the house. The landlords battle
with the squatter has gone on ever since,
but there is no change in the situation.
Hayward is complete master of his do
main. Occasionally he stalks into neigh
boring restaurant, always carrying his
axe with him, and every few days he tells
Putzel that he likes to make mince meat
out of shoemakers. His landlord has
about resigned himself to his fate. He
has made no complaints to the police, al
though he has seen Hayward settling
down as if for a permanent occupation.
The negro has hung pieces of carpet
and bagging over the windows
and doorway, which were opened by
Putzel; he has rugged up a sort of bed in
one corner of the cellar, and in fact is be-
coming an old resident. An attempt was
made to drown him out two nights ago,
but it didn't succeed, and merely put Hay
ward to the trouble of drying his belong
ings.
Last night one of the neighbors who had
struck up sort of acquaintance with the
hermit pozed his head in through the cellar
window. Hayward jumped toward him,
axe in hand, but the intruder lodged back
in time. Then the negro recognized him
and apologized by explaining that he had
| taken him for one of the devils who were
hunting for Tom Hayward. He had made
up his mind, the axe-bearer went on, that
the safest place to escape the devils was
Putzel's cellar, and he meant to stay there
until they had got tired of the search and
went back to headquarters. The neigh
bors are afraid that Hayward will stay
there for long time vet

FIXED STARS.
A Term Which Is Not Recognized by Mod.
ern Astronomy.


ern Astronomy.
The term ''fixed stars has long been
in use, but the science of to-day recog-
hizes the existence of no immovable
luminaries. The suns, as we'll as the
planets, says Prof Young, have a
proper motion of their own. It was at
one time declared that this motion is a
systematic one, and that they all slow
ly revOlve about a particular star as a
center. But this is now demonstrated
not to be so. The latest Investigations
indicate that as a whole they have a
drift in one general direction through
space; but this general motion is COM
parable only to the movement of
swarm of bees in the air. The motions
of the. Individual bees are of infinite
variety, Our star, the sun, CARRYING
by attraction the solar system along
with it, appears to be in motion toward
point in the constellation of
Hercules. The exact point can
not be stated, for different COM
puters reach different results as to that,
though there is general agreement in
placing the point somewhere in that
constellation. The rate of this proper
motion of the stars can not be stated
with any approach to accuracy. In the
case of the sun it is not less, however,
than three miles per second, and not
imprObably is as much as twenty-five
miles per second. In astronomical OBJ
servatiOn of the stars this motion has to
be taken into consideration as respects
the position of any particular star now
and at a former date; and it must be
kept in mind, also, that there is a COM
pound motion, in that while the star is
moving, ours also is moving, carrying
us with it. Allowance also has been
made for the earth s mutations in it's
own orbit and for the alteration of
light. The distance of the stars is not
determinable with accuracy. That one
of them which is supposed to be nearest
to us is about two hundred thousand
times the distance of the earth from
the sun. To the person who looks at
the sky on a sparkling clear night,
when all the stars appear to have come
out from their hiding places, it seems
as if they are countless. But this is
not so, as may be proved by taking a
small patch of the sky, say the bowl of
the Dipper, and counting there. A
sharp-eyed person will count about ten
stars in that space. In our sky there
are, according to the keenness of diff
ferent eyes, to be seen from 1000 to
1000 stars Including those not visi-
BILE in our ATTITUDES, there is a total of
from Z 900 to 5000 visible from the sur
face of the earth. But the use of q
slight magnifying power greatly in
creases the number. With a good
opera glass 200, 900 may be seen; with
the largest telescopes from 10000, 600
to GO 600 600 -P gO9i6pucP Journal

CARE OF HORSES.
A Veterinary Surgeon Gives Some Adv
That Is of Great Value.

Veterinary Surgeon Gives Some Advice
That Is of Great Value.
A leading veterinary surgeon, in con-
versation with reporter, said; "Want
of ordinary care often ruins some of
the best horses. Even those people
employed to take charge of the ami
mails often neglect some of the simplest
things. Every horse should be reshod
at least once a month. After each
days work the animals feet should be
carefully examined, to ascertain that
the shoes are in good order and gravel
or stones removed. Twice each week
the feet should be carefully looked at,
broken nails replaced, loose shoes
fastened and projecting clinches re-
duced. Once a week the feet should
be stuffed with fiax-seed meal or wet
clay. Amy unhealthy condition of the
hoof ought to be Immediately attended
to. Horses require careful grooming
and should be rubbed dry when used;
not allowed to stand without rubbing
when heated. Occasional spOnging of
the nostrils with a weak mixture of
vinegar and water is also beneficial.
The practice of using a hose or stream
of cold water on a horse when heated
is very injurious. Care should be ex-
ercised to see that the feed is kept free
from dust, foreign substances
and bad OdOr. Small quantities
fed frequently are best for the
animals. Bran mash should be
given once a week, never Oftener than
twice, except when it is desirable as
purge. Glauber salts given once
week will help to keep the horse
healthy. Watering horse while
warm or Immediately after eating is
bad; but before eating lit is not objec-
tionable, or while at work. Stables
should be kept clean, well ventilated
and free from smells. The feed boxes
should be scrupulOusly clean, and
washed once a week with vinegar and
water Those animals affected with
CHAMBERS or discharge from the nOstrils
should be isolated and kept tied. Man
and beast are both in danger of infec-
ton therefrOm. In places and vicinity
where an infected animal is thus tied
the wood and iron work should be
cleansed with hot water and soap, and
covered with a wash of freshly-mixed
quicklime, which should be scraped off
and removed within two days. All
harness, horse-clOths, saddle-cloths and
blankets used by a glandered horse
should be destroyed. COrns on horses
feet are bruises of the sensitive sole,
and mostly occur in the fore feet.
These should be carefully attended to,
and if treated in time, will soon disap-
pear; otherwise the horse may be per-
manently famed. Trotting on hard
road viii often produce corns, and like
human beings, they arise many times
from bad shoes. Attention to these
simple things will often save valuable
horses from being ruined. IN. J. MdG1

An organ-erinder squeIched.

The dreamy-eyed Italian who manip.
ulates the hand-organ does not have it
all his own way in the streets of Lon
don. Sig. Andrea found this out 8 few
days ago. For two long, weary years
he has ground out his melancholy
tunes every Saturday morning beneath
the window of fiinty-hearted profess
sor of chemistry! The crusty scientist,
inaccessible to the charms of music,
again and again ordered the son of the
sunny south to desist and to depart.
Andrea persisted in his attempts TO
soothe the savage breast of the profess
sor. Finally, losing all patience the
latter brought a charge against his per-
secutor in a court of justice. There
the law was expounded; Every per-
son who sounds or plays q musical in
strument in any thoroughfare near to
any house after being requested to de-
part is liable to a penalty Of forty shil.

A Truly Honest Man.

H. c. Laforce, special examiner Of the
Pension Department., was to-day called
upon by Nelson Painter, a farmer of this
county, who voluntarily surrendered his
pension certificate, on which he has drawn
four dollars per month for years. He said
that he was satisfied that the disability
which had entitled him to pension was
permanently removed, and it would not be
honest for him longer to accept the Gov
ernment's money. Mr.. Laforce says this
is the first case he has had of this kind in
an experience of six years, and it is the
second he ever heard of.

We proceeded along in almost I'M
broken silence until we arrived at a
deep, dark gulch between two large
hills, which were covered with heavy
growth of large hickory nut and white
oak trees and thick underbrush.

moss-covered rocks, here and there
deep intersecting ravines, with now and
then a pool of as clear water as ever

place seemed almost as if enchanted.
Not q sound broke the stiffness save
the ripping of the little stream as it

rocks, or the occasional chirrup of q
bird in the lofty trees.
