Man for Master.

A good story is told about town at thil moment, says a Pittsburg Dispatch cor respondent. There is | great demand for persons connected with the foreign legation. They are invited everywhere. Young attaches who could not get in side of.a fashiorah,n door in London, Paris, Berlin. or the city from whence they came, are here ionized to degree that makes their heads swim. They are naturally delighted with America, and float along on the surface ofthe fashion. able current of Washington as big as Newtown pippins Some of these fel- lows actually live on their invitations to dinner, only paying for the breakfast at some cafe. Well, the story goes that one of them was asked to dinner by a family, the heads of which were total strangers to him. He knew that invita- tione had been extended to others of his set, who had declined, so he was quite certain it was not his person that was wanted. Meeting another young fellow the latter suggested that an experiment be tried. ~ a
 'Give it to your valet" said his merry friend. 'I'll wager they will never dis cover the difference; he's such a bloody Englishman. They don't know you. All they want is somebody there, you know. By Jove! what larkr'
 .I'll do it." said ihe other. And he did. lnshucting his valet, who is fully as polite and genteel looking as his master, the latter posted off to the resi- dence at the proper hour in the legation carriage.
 What transpircd there may be imag- ined, from the fact that among the din- ner guests given in the society papers was the name of the young secretary, and from thc account of the affair which has leaked out through other servants 10 whom tho valet conf.ded the story, it would seem from the latter that the valet got along very well until the wine began coming around to him too fre- quent!y, He knew all about his mas tcr's affairs. and discoused on diplo- matic matters with exceeding volatility. As he got mellow. however, his dignity gave way, and his gossip became that interesting stuff retailcd by servants be- low stairs. To anybody who had been accustomed to movo in diplomatic socie- ty, his talk would have betrayed the real state of the case; but the parvenues who were entertaining him were igno- rant, and accepted his vulgarity as the eccentricity of foreigners. They piled every courtesy upon the valet until he could no longer bear them. but was fin- ally interrupted in the act of making love to one of the ladies of the house, put into his carriage quietly, and sent home. To the credit of the family, it may be added that the young secretary never got another invitation.

The Grant ssonumsas. 1

Before the sum is wholly subscribed there will be time carefully to con. slider what form tho memorial should take..and the other question which the den,h and burial of General Grant have brought prominently forward. whether there should pds DO 3 common natl9n- al ground. eS".po sdgfo. In whlcai the great heroes should Do buried, ana which would become at once a shEine of national pilgrimage and an ever-re,. newia fountain of national union anu patriotism.
 There is one obvious objection t0 such scheme, which is that the claims of distinguished citizens to such nati9n- . al sepulture must be determined by Congress, aud the result would be ai- most inevitable that mere partisan feel ing would largely determine a ques- ton which such feeling can not justly decide. There is to be considered. also, the advantage of the distriputlon of such national shrines throughout the country by the burial of every great citizen at his home. Mount Vernon is a temple and monument which even the Capitol would not be if the dust of other great Americans were deposited in its crypts.g Like the battle-felds of the Revolution which are scattered over the old thirteen States, and each of which is a consecratod field of patriot ism, the graves of famous Americans cherished amid the local scenes of their lives would be altars of enno- bling patriotism everywhere in the land. ggF FYS gEnea 4 ,-,.s-,.

 It is objected. indeed. and very forci- ply, that they are not cherished, but fall often into most unseemly neglect. Wherever this is true. it is a caustic reproach of the neighborhood or of the family. But 1t is -hsSdiy a reason for :GG.ioiial interm6nt that a great mans kindred are negligent of his grave.

Care of Breeding Stoc's.

Chicago Tribune.
The breeding of all farm animals requires not
only skill in mating SO that proper conformation
may be brought about, but during the growing
life of the animal the food must be of such ana
ture as best to develop the animal for the pur-
pose for which it is required
The breeding animals in cattle, sheep and
swine must receive different feeding from that
where the short life ends at the slaughter house.
The breeding animal must be fully developed
in every part The animal brought to the block
at one two or three years of age requires only
such bony and muscular development as will en-
able it to lay on the proper amount of fat to
bring the muscle into the best condition for food.
But the breeding animal must be developed in
the specific qualities to be inherited by the off
spring
In the breeding of horses all this must receive
the most careful attention. The bone and
muscle giving strength and speed to the horse,
together with the form and perfect symmetry
that always accompany these attributes, must
be carefully guarded. Here the similarity in
the rearing of horses and other live stock ends
Whether for breeding labor or work. every colt
must be fed from colthood up with a view to the
perfect DEVELOPMENT of bone and muscle. Fully
as much depends upon the feeding as in the
breeding Of the horse. Not only this, however
good the food, if the proper care be not given as
to shelter and no less IL exercise, the end can
only result in loss, for however good the strain
of blood the horse cannot reach that perfection
to bring the best profit for the money invested

Sllyins Horses.

Scientific American.
This trick. or vice, is generally the effect of
nervous timidity resulting from an excitable
temperament. 1t is aggravated by improper
handling To punish horse for shying intro
duces new cause Of fear. The horse will be
more alarmed and show more tokens of fear at
the prospect of whipping than at the imagin
airy object of danger in the road. Hence one
bad habit is confirmed by the introduction of
another. II is impossible to whip terror out of
horse or pound courage into one. Kindness
and gentle persuasion are the best weapons to
correct the pernicious habit of shying The
less fear exhibited by the driver and the less
notice taken Of the shying by using harsh
means, the sooner it will be given up. care
full, experienced horseman can generally de-
tect an object likely to cause a nervous horse to
shy, and by word touch will encourage
him to pass 1t unnoticed. When this fails,
give him time to look at the object of his fear,
pat him and coax him up to it, then take him
past two or three times, till he takes no notice
of it.
When defective sight is the cause of this bad
habit it is incurable, and if the eyesight is fail
ing, the horse for ordinary driving and riding
will be perfectly useless. A mare we knew that
had gone quietly in harness for two or three
years suddenly took to jumping the white stone
crossings of an ordinary macadamized street, as
if they were water brooks In three months
she was stone blind.

Massachusetts, Florist.
The general rule for sowing flower seeds, as
well as any other seeds Is to sow them at the
proper depth. This is determined by the size of
the seed itself. AS the sprouts of small seeds are
naturally small, if sown as deep AS large seeds
they will be either unusually long In starting, or
or more likely will perish after sprouting, from
want of sufficient strength in the young sprouts
to force passage through the SOIL Very small
seeds, such as portulacca, campanua, digitalis,
ETC., should be merely sprinkled on the surface
of the ground after making quite smooth with
the back of spade, and barely covered with
finely sifted, light, mellow soil. and afterward
protected from the scorching sun and heavy
rains by cloth, mat, or some green branches
stuck around it.
Transplanting should, If possible, always be
done In cloudy weather and toward evening. If
the soil is dry, the plants will require light
watering to settle the earth around the roots,
and if warm sunny days succeed the operation
they will root all the better to have little
shade for a day or two, which may be done by
spreading an old newspaper over them. or cover
ing with mat, removing either at night. All
large growing plants should be transplanted
singly, but many of the smaller may be re-
moved in patches without any trouble If the
soil is previously well-watered. We have found
very little difficulty in removing zinnias asters
and smaller plants after they have begun to
bloom. After the plants are established they
will need no other care than to tie up the taller
growing sorts to stakes. to prevent the wind
and rains from beating them down to the ground
and injuring their blossoms
Hardy ANIMALS are those which require no arti-
fetal heat at any period of their growth, every
stage of their development, from termination to
ripening of the seed. being passed in the open
ground They are the most easily cultivated of
all plants; the number of theirvareties is large.
The seed may be sown from the first of April to
the middle of June along the border in little
patches, four or six inches square, or in drills,
on tho spot whore they are wanted to blossom;
and in doing so care should be taker. to have the
different varieties arranged in such manner
as to produce pleasing effect when they are in
bloom,
