LINCOLN AND STANTON.
The Secretary's Contemptuous Opinion Of old
Abe" rs a Lawyer

The Secretary's Contemptuous Opinion of Old
Abe" rs a Lawyer,
happened to be at Washington when
Stanton was called to the cabinet of Presi-
dent Lincoln, writes Don Piatt in the
North American Review. 1t was a strange
event. Stanton was not only a democrat
of so fierce sort that his democracy
seemed his religion, but he felt and had
openly expressed his contempt for Abrah-
am Lincoln. / remember of an instance
Of this last that is painful memory, look
ing back, as / do, with loving admiration
of both these great men. Stanton had
won his way to the front as an able adyo-
cate, and found himself leading counsel in
an important case involving millions He
learned, a few moments before going to
trial. that Lincoln had been retained, and
expected to make an argument. He told
me of this, and described. in wrath, the
long. lank creature from Illinois, wearing
a dirty linen buster for a coat. on the
back of which the perspiration had
splotched two wide stains that, emanating
from each arm pit, met at the center. and
resembled dirty map of a continent.
Il said snolted stanton, 'that if that
giraffe appeared in the case ! would throw
up my brief and leave
Lincoln was ruled out, and the worst
part Of the transaction was that he knew
of the insult. Nothing has so impressed
the belief / hold in the greatest Of all
presidents, was this utter ignoring Of a
brutal affrOnt, 1t was no assumption Of
Christian forgiveness. Lincoln could
hate with an intensity known only to
strong natures. and when just retributiOn
demand it he could punish with an iron
will which no appeals of pity could re-
move But he possessed that strange
sense Of bower that lifted him above per-
sonal insult. In a word, he could not be
insulted In his quiet dignity he put
shame on the aggressor. He illustrated
this is his own humorous way, when told
by a friend that Horace Greeley was abds-
ing him in a most outrageous monner.
@That reminds me- he said, of the big
fellow whose little wife was wont to beat
him over the head without resistance.
When demonstrated with, the man said,
Let her alone. 1t don't hurt me, and it
does her a power Of good
| do not wonder al President Lincoln
selecting Stanton to control, al the time
the most important arm Of the govern
ment. but I was amazed at Stantons ac-
ceptance.
He was one TO pass some time, almost
daily. at our room in the hotel where. III
the society of my dear wife, he seemed TO
relax from the somber reserve Of busy
life. It was O relaxation quite removed
from the kindly, impulsive nature Of
early youth There was the same sense
Of hnmor but it was cynical and stung as

Agricultural Items.

Canada thistles can be destroyed by
repeated plowings.
There is less danger of sowing much
grass seed than too little.
Clean saw-dust with little sulphur
sprinkled in it, is as good as any material
for the nests Of sitting hens.
In sowing timothy with wheat OF
other grains, the best results are obtained
by having the soil dragged and rolled
first.
Lard and sulphur, or any mixture OF
grease and sulphur, says Fanny Field in
the Prairie Farmer, should never be put
on young chickens or turkeys.
Dig garden soil only when the ground
is warm and dry. Do not be in a hurry
or you may get behind When a clot OF
earth will crush to powder when you tread
on it, it is time to dig not before.
In planting trees it should be remem
bered that tree is not post requiring
only a small, deep hole. 70 insure sue
cess with trees broad hole is required
and this should be filed up with rich, fri
abe earth.
Professor Cook, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College says the most of the fail
ures TO destroy potato-bugs by paris green
comes from waiting until eggs have been
laid on the vines before applying IL. Make
the application just as the plants come
up.
Manure for hot-bods should be fresh
and well worked, as well as free from
coarse litter. Bleached muslin, oiled, may
be used instead of glass, and later in the
season cold frames, and sheltered from
the Winds, will answer for late cabbage
plants.
The great secret of raising large shoots
Of asparagus is to give the plants plenty
of room. Set the roots in rows four feet
apart and four feet in rows; keepthe land
free from weeds, and manure every day
on the surface. No man who has plot
of ground should DO without nm asparagus
bed.
Vast quantities of marsh lands are be
ing reclaimed by ditching in Indiana. The
work is most probable done by dredging,
work being begun at the head Of the ditch,
where sufficient water will soon accumu-
late to float n boat carrying the machin-
cry. The work done by these machines is
at the rate of $50 lineal feet per day, a
ive-foot cut twenty five to thirty-feet
wide.

How 70 Fence Across ths Creek.
Western Ploruan

Many persons having creeks or streams
Of water flowing through their lands know
how hard it is TO keep q fence across
them and at the same time make it hog
tight
Every year the high water, caused by
excessive rains and spring freshets, does
an immense amount of damage to fences,
causing much anxietyas well as peeuniary
loss 10 the owners.
The writer's father fences across his
creek in the following manner; Take a
log from a foot 70 a foot and a half in di-
ameter and about eight or ten feet long
for a mud-sill Now mortise into the log,
about foot from one end Of it, then take
q good sized post and fit into the mortise.

side of the creek, and you are ready to
stretch a wire across on which to hang the
water-gates.
The wire should be doubled aAd twisted
and left long enough to make the ends
fast several posts away from the stream,
because it will have considerable strain
on it.
The water-gates should be three or four
feet wide made of inch boards and Sc
curely bolted or nailed with wrought nails
on two upright pieces, at least six inches
wide, which are fastened to the suspended
wire.
The most important feature of the
gates Is to have the boards fastened to-
gether without any spaces between them
in order that they may adjust themselves
70 the rise and fall of the water, and let
any debris pass under them, If the braces
are far apart floating sticks and rails will
come down and get between the cranks
and break the gates.
Water-gates made in this way are
durable and viii last many years, and
while the farmer Is toasting his shins 10y
the side of hot fire during a season OF
high water he can lay back with feeling
of comfort and content which nothing
but good water-gates will give.

Hampshire Down sheep.
Prairie Farmer

The long felt depression in the woolm
ket has increased the interest in the So
call mutton breeds" One of the best of
these breeds for rich prairie soils is the
Hamp shiro-down. This is an artificial
breed, produced by crossing the South
down ON the old style of Hampshire
sheep, and adding an infusion of Leices-
ter. The distinguishing characteristics
of the Hampshire Downs are early matur-
ity, great weight of carcass, fine quality
of mutton and hardness of constitution.
They can only be kept in small flocks, and
require plenty of nutritious food to main
tain their high standard. Spring lambs
will average sixty to seventy pounds live
weight the first autumn after their birth,
and always bring the highest price in
market There is scarcely farm east Of
the Mississippi River, upon which a small
flock Of some one of these English breeds
of sheep could not be kept with profit.
The price of wool may huctuate and go
below the point Of profitable production,
but there is always a demand for good
mutton.

There is a story told of Washington's
first appearance in the house of burgesses
He was something more than new mem
Der; he was the late commander in chief
OF the Virginia army, the foremost man
in a military way in the province; he had
just returned from the successful expe-
dition against Fort Duquesne. So the
house resolved TO welcome him in man
ner becoming SO gallant a Virgnian, and
il passed vote of thanks for the distin-
guished military services he had rendered
the country. The speaker, Mr., Robinson,
rose when Washington came in 10 take
his seat, and made little speech of praise
and welcome, presenting the thanks of
the house. Everyone applauded and wait
ed for the tall colonel to respond.
There he stood blushing, stammering
confused. He could give his orders TO his
men easily enough, and he could easily
say what was necessary to Mrs. Martha
Custis; but TO address the house OF bur
gessos in answer TO vote of thanks that
was another matterl Not n plain word
could he get out. II was a capital answer,
and the speaker interpreted II to the
house:
sit down Mr.. Washington" said he.
Your modesty equals your valor, and
that sufpasses the power of language"

her child Mt the house OF her mother in
Vienna, where the count took lodgings in a
furnished hotel. A short time ago he re-
ceiyed a visit from his wife, accompanied
by her mother and child, who appear to
have called at his request. He insisted
upon the child remaining with him, and
the ladies had no alternative but TO sub
init. NJ Korokossoh the father OF the
countess, was at once telegraphed for and
on his arrival secured the services of 4
detective. On Wednesday night the count
made his appearance at the residence of

ed tone asked TO see to- countess threat
ening violence in care of refusal. The
detective played n leading part in the
scene that followed, and succeeded in tax
ing loaded revolver from the count. He
then accompanied him 10 the next station

Eventually, AT his wife'r pressing request
