mr.. EUSTIs SPEECH.

This. now celebrated speech, was
presented TO the readers Of the
TIMES last week as q supplement
to the MADISON TINES. When it
is considered, that the demand for
the speech, runs up to hundreds Of
thousands, the promptncss with
which the readers of the TIMES
were supplied, furnishes evidence
of the enterprise of the TINES. 1t
is possible that you may not agree
with Mr.. Eustis on this subject,
there are many who do not, but
that the speech is an able and
mastery production, is conceded
by friends and foes, alike. He
presents some new arguments, and
it is not speech Of which it can be
said there is nothing new about It.
He leaves the old broken road and
launches out on a new path, and
blazes the road as he goes. How
ever YOU may differ with him, you
have Senator TO be proud of, and
one that is a credit to your State.

Weightman of the Madison
Times, claims that his paper shaped
and suggested the arguments made
recently in the U. ). Senate in ia
vor of the coinage of silver. We
candidly admit that some patent.
outside papers have editors with
brains to supervise the homemade
sides. Weightman is one of that
observation-disclosures Clarion.
The TINES hastens to correct. 1t
did not say that it shaped any
body's policy but called attention
to the fact that the TIMES, before
any speeches were made in Con-
gress on the subject-had used the
same arguments, as were used by
the ablest advocates of silver. The
TINES has not a large circulation
among U. S. Senator'S. which is bad
for the Senators.

Ez-Gov. CritCenden Talks.
Special to the World.

Special to the World.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 29.-Ex-
Gov. Crittcnden said in Kansas
City to-day, when interviewed in
regard to the meeting Senators Vest
and ( ockrcll had with President
Cleveland when trying to secure
him a foreign mission: Had |
been a Missouri Senator and pre-
scented the name Of a friend for an
appointment and received such a
response as Nj. Cleveland made to
Cockrell, | would have promptly
asserted my Senatorial dignity and
would have given the President to
understand that unless he rctracted
the ISLANDERS he had expressed
against my friend he might expect
war from me. l say | would have
done these things, and | would,
had | been Senator, unless | went
to the President under the mask Of
hypocricy, and went there to pre-
vent my friends appointment in
stead of to secure it.
81 want the President to under
stand that not the chicfest Jewel
within his gift would induce me to
apologize for any act of my admin
istratiOn as Governor of Missouri.
What | did | did for what | deem. =
ed for the public good, for the
peace and well-being of the people
of this State. AS matter of fact,
| knew nothing of the sending of
Ford to locate James until two
days after he had gone, and when
Ford's first dispatch, in which he
said that he was with James. came
to me, | was completely in the
dark as to its meaning, and was
compelled to telegraph Commits
sioner Craig for an explanation.
There were some minor details
which have never been published
and which never will be. Whom
the end of the James business had
come burned every bridge behind
me. | had letters and papers
which would have implicated many
of the leading people of the State,
but on the last day of my term |
buried every one of them-every
one. Those papers, had they been
printed, would have done irrepar-
able injury to many and good to
none. They would hare caused
strife and chickering's innumerable
and scandals without number.
Therefore, in the interest of the
State of Missouri, / burned them.
| am now going down to the grave
and with me will go that history.
My lips are as firmly sealed now +,
as they will be when death puts its
final stamp upon them. IN. Y.

ee.sfui
There wa q widespread conviction
that . nan who habitually studies farm
journals was most sure 10 fail when he
came 10 carry out the practical details
Of the farm. That there Was some rea.
o for this belief there &, no question.
There are men who can talk and write
i%lucntly and well Of agriculture, and yet
prove miserable failures on the farm.
Such failures do not come for want Of
knowledge, but from want Of executive
ability There Is a great difference he.
tween perception and execution.
\ man who i thoroughly %conyersant
with the theory Of agriculture and with
those sciences upon which scientific AZ.
rieultnrc rests, such a. chemistry aud
geology. has most probably spent tho
greater part Of his life In the student
cell, and has never tried 10 learn the
practical details II agriculture. just as a
military man mas be- q martinez in the
drill and vet fail IN the more important
wors ot directing the storm Of battle.
An engineer may plan a railroad or
bridge. but others must carry his plans
into execution. Men 81 great executive
ability and 81 practical skill In ans
pursuit are seldom welded 10 thoo-
re- They spend their time in exc.
cutting. not IN planning. Hence II
often happens that q successful farmer
Is un~acquaintod with even the primary
principles upon which agriculture
seems 10 rest. But he has practical In.
formation derived from experience. lie
a tell BY inspection what will grow
best IN this field or that. and he knows
the general characteristics Of his soils
On the other hand. the man II science
can analyxc and tell the component
parts Of any soil. and yet he Is q poor
guide In selecting soils best adapted to
the growth Of cotton. corn or tobacco.
Probably the truth i that the theonst
deals too much IN grneralitlcs. and the
practical farmer too much In particulars.
The knowledge Of both should be united
10 produce the greatest results. II was
the union ni the practical with the sci.

It y not everybody who knows how
much a spider can cat, Most Of US
have derived amusement, and perhaps
instruction. from watching the subtle
arrangements and devices Of the little
tactician with a view to capture some
dainty little insect. and many Of us
would know exactly where to place this
interesting creature in the classification
Of animal life, but probably very few of
us have any idea what n %voracious gor-
mand the spider is. 4 gentleman, scien-
tiiically inclined, and luxuriating in the
rare possession Of leisure, has recently
given TO the world some very curious
and startling statements rs regards the
arachneidiean appetite. lie captured a
spider and Kept it in confinement, sup
plying it literally with food, and care
fully recording his observations. He
estimated that the creature ate four times
is weight for breakfast, nine times its
weight for dinner. thirteen times its
weight for supper. finishing up with an
ounce Of food. In the same proportion
q man Of average weight would demol-
ish an OF for breakfast, two more for
dinner, a couple of bullocks, eight
sheep, and four pigs for supper, and
then a hundredwcight OF fish to prepare
the way for an aldcrmanic banquet be-
