StoneWall Jacksons' Horse Dead.
RICHMOND, Va, March 19.-The
old Confederate battle flag at the
Southern Soldiers Home was at half
maat to day out of respect to ''Old
Sorrel," Stonewall Jackson's war
horse, who died yesterday. Many of
the old soldiers watched him tenderly
during the night. and we're with him
when he died. "Old Sorrel" was 80
years Of age, was wounded twice dur
ing the war, and was the last surviv-
ing horse of the Confederate
army. A taxidermist was at once
set to work upon him, and will stuff
and mount the horse, which will be
placed in the Soldiers home. The an.
imal after Jackson's death was placed
at the Virginia military institute, and
no one was allowed to ride him. He
was taken to the New Orlesns exposi-
ton, and although kind " cared for
by the soldiers of the home, it is al
legged that the trip fatally injured
him.

Building a Great Telescope.
ALvAN CLARK's GROWING WORK
BRINGING THE MOON WITHIN A HUN
DRIED MILES.
BOSTON, March 19.-The largest re-
fractlng telescope in the world is now
in process of construction in the mod
est workshop of the venerable Alvan
Clark, the eminent telescope maker,
in Henry street, Cambridgeport- The
two disks of glass go to form the lens
of the great Lick telescope, which will
be placed in the observatory on the
peak of Mount Hamilton, a bequest of
the California millionaire, James
Lick. These two circular glasses are
valued at $25, 900 each, and, if de-
stroyed, they could not be duplicated
within the next six months for million
of dollars. The disks we're cast
in Paris, the order being given
five years ago, but the fail
ures were so numerous that they
were not received by Messrs. Clark
until last September. When finished
the lens will be SO inches in diameter,
six inches wider than the one which
they recently completed for the Rus
sian government. Since receiving
the blocks last September Mr.. Clark
and his sons have been constantly at
work upon them. but they do not ex-
pect to have them completed much
before next fall. When completed
the two lenses will weigh about 700
pounds. The work of polishing the
disks has now reached that stage
where the removal of a few grains
more or less from the wrong place
would ruin them. The only ipstru-
ment used is the hand smeared with
rouge, a polishing substance finer
than the finest emery.
Some idea of the power of the in
strument may be gained from the
statement recently made by an as
tronomer, that gazing at the moon,
100000 miles away, that orb by this
telescope will be brought to within
less than 100 miles from the eye of
the beholder. Mr.. Clark on Mon day
last was SO. He and his wife will on
March % celebrate the sixtieth ami
versary of their marriage. He was
born in Ashfeld, Mass, and brought
up farmers boy, but his self-taug ht
skill gained him situation as an en-
glneer, at the age of %, in Lowell
calico mill. Ten years later he had
become miniature painter in Boston,
with studio on Court street. All
the time that he was painting these
portraits, he was grinding away at
lenses for pastine, and when the
daguerrotype threatened the extinc-
ton of the portrait painting profess
sion, he stepped into telescope making.

AN examination of a map of the

Neither is it reached by the United

the abode of the very worst classes in

they have established their ranches

CONSUL RYDER, at Copenhagen, fur,
nishes the state department at Wash,
ington with some very interesting and
suggestive facts concerning agricul-
ture in Denmark. It is shown, for in
stance, that the farmers of that coun-
try are much better off than those of
Great Britain and France, because
they began some years ago to turn
their attention to dairy and livestock
business instead of devoting their eff
forts entirely to the growing of grain.
This is lesson which American agri-
culturalists need to learn above ali
others. The time has come when they
can no longer rely upon profitable
prices for wheat, corn and cotton, and
the sooner they begin to change their
operations accordingly the better it
will De for them in every respect

A VALUABLE crystalline for wood
or paper may be obtained, it is stated
by mixing very concentrated solu-
ton of salt dextrine and laying the
thinnest coating of the fluid On the
surface to be covered by means of a
broad, soft brush. After drying, the
surface has beautiful, bright, moth
er-of-pearl coating, which, in conse-
quence of the dextrine, adheres firmly
to paper and wood. The coating may
be made adhesive to glass by doing it
over with alcoholic shellac solution.
Sulphate of magnesia, acetate of soda
and suIphate Of tin are among the
salts which produce the most attrac-
tive crystalline coatings. Paper must
first be sized, otherwise it will absorb
the liquid and prevent the formation
of crystals

GRADUALLY, out with altogether
too slow a pace, England is waking
to the fact that the House of Lords is
unnecessary, absurd and worthy only
to be abolished. The House of Lords
has no right to exist in a country that
processes to be governed by the people
to the extent that England does. Mr..
Labouchere introduced resolution a
few days ago, IN the House of Com
mons affirming that "a hereditary
chamber of legislation is inconsistent
with the principles of representative
government" and defeated by slen-
der majority of thirty-six votes. The
minority vote was twice as large as
ever before, and the narrow margin
might have been wiped out had all
the Liberals voted. This direct thrust
at the House of Lords shows that the
Commons are growing weary to the
Anticipated shackles that hamper their
action. The Lords are not a salutary
check to English legislation; they are
a prejudiced, bigoted stumbling block
in its path.

Emitted States Crop Report.

The Department of Agriculture on
March 10 issued the following state
ment of the condition of crops in the
United States: Stock of wheat in
hands.of farmers is sol per cent. of
the crop; it was 331 last year and g.
two years ago. 1t amounts to 1O7,-
000,0 bushels against 10000, 600
last March and 119, 900, 900 year ago.
1t is only 100000 bushels more thau
in March, 1882, the shortest invisible
supply OF recent years; the visible and
invisible supply March 1, was there
fore 159, 100000 against 212, 900, 900
last year. The consumption of wheat
for bread and others uses, the seed
sown, and approximately eighty-fve
millions export since the first of March
1885, make distribution equal to the
supply from March last. The March
report of the Department of Agricul-
ture on the consumption and dlstri-
button of the grain crop makes the
proportion of corn still in the hands
of farmers 40 per cent, of the last crop
One year ago the proportion of the
