DEATH of SENATOR MILLER.

According to a special telegram to the
SENTINEL Senator John f. Miller, OF
California, died in Washington, d. G.,
yesterday afternoon at l45 o'clock. The
health of the deceased had been i'm.
paired for several months, but it was not
believed by his most intimate friends
that death would follow SO soon. He
was born in Indiana in 1881, his parents
being virginians. In lS49 he commenced
the study of law, and graduated at the
New York State Law School in 1852.
He then commenced practice at South
Bend. but soon went to California, where
he practiced law for three years, when
he returned to Indiana and resumed
practice there. In 1860 he entered the
Army as Colonel of the Twenty.ninth In.
diana Volunteers, and was soon placed
in command OF a brigade, serving at Stone
River and Liberty Gap. He was promoted
to Brigadier General. In the battle OF
Nashville he commanded the left division
of 5000 men, and was brevetted a Major
General for conspicuous bravery. At the
close of the war he was offered a high
commission in the regular Army, but ne
declined it, and returned to California,
where he was Collector Of the Port OF
San Francisco four years, declining a re-
appointment. He was elected to the
United States Senate as a Republican, to
succeed Newton Booth, Anti onopolist,
and took his seat March 4, 1881. His
term of service would have expired
March 3, 1887.

There are rumors of late that the
President is in gradually failing health.
This is probably Al exaggerated state
ment. The duties of the President, if
faithfully performed. are very trying and
wearing. and Mr.. Cleveland doubtless
suffers to some extent from this cause,
like all his predecessors. Aside from the
inevitable worry and responsibility at
tendaut upon his position, the President
must p~erforce lead a sedentary life. He
is busy within doors almost all the time.
Everybody comes to see him; he seldom
goes to see anybody. And when he does
go abroad he is on exhibition and feels
that he is. All whom he meets stare at
him and keep him bowling right and left.

corruption. These are unfavorable con-
ditions for health. In point of fact, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph, Mr.. Cleve.

LAND IN CALIFO

The San Francisco Chronicle Of last
Thursday has very sensible article on
land matters in that State. Among other
things it shows the folly of asking e
orbitant prices for land simply because
it can by hard aud well.directed labor be
made productive of great results. In
other words, landowners there, in dis
posing of their acres, want the advantage
OF what is accomplished by the labor OF
the prudent, practical and far.seein g
husbandman, irrespective of the cost said
acres have been to them. That journal
says: cit is an absolute fact that much
of the land now being sold here nets its
sellers a profit of 1000 to 5000 per cent,
and often even more. Land which orig.
inally cost 81 25 to So so per acre is held
at 5000 to 500 and. sales are frequently
made at those prices. When such rates
are protested against one is Immediately
met with an array Of figures showing the
profits that may possibly be realized
from careful cultivation of the same, and
from an exceptionally favorable condi.
ton OF the market. 1t is Of course proper
to take into consideration to a certain
extent the capabilities of the soil that is
offered for sale, but when this leads to
demanding two or three hundred times
as much for the land as it originally cost
it seems altogether too much like dis.
counting the future at q most ruinous
rate. What is wanted in this
State is opportunities where the men Of
small capital, from 81, 900 to $4,000, can
settle on small tracts, set out vines and
trees, doing all their own work, and be
reasonably secure OF an income within q
short time. At present prices a settler
needs all the way from s.. 900 to 800, 000
in order to make anything like a start.
But if California waits for men with that
amount Of capital to come here in any
number it will take many decades to
show a degree of growth that five years
would develop were land values any
where near what they should be-"

The political estate Of the late Thos.
y. Hendricks, which was burdcncd.
doubtless, with too many adminiStra-
tors, has gone glimmcring as il were
None would have supposed that the
personal friends Of Hendricks would
be so soon forgotten. 70 those WHO
were his supporters the administration
apparently turns deaf ear. Hem
drlcks had about him few DcrsOus
from Indiana whom he was ESPECIALLY
deslrous Of having quartercd in COM
Portable positions. Since the dav his
remains were laid at rest in Indian
apolis but two avOWcd friends have
been recognized, and each Of those in
the smallest subordinate positions.
Inc man who stood nearer Hendricks
| ana was his confidential secretary was
renewed the day John Sherman was
| maze PRESIDENT pro tempOrc Of the
Senate and a Republican given the
place. From that day to this promises
have been made to Colonel East, with
assurances that he would be ASSIGNED.
East was true and faithful TO Hen
drlcks, and in view Of the prominent
| position he 0ccup pied it was naturally
/ cHPectcd he would be property pro-
vidcd for.
Hendricks also had a nephew who
was relieved from a good position by
Sherman at the same time Colonel
East was. He too has been promised
from day to day, but yet is uncommis-
stoned. TO have been a friend of Hen
| drlcks does not mean an Office at the
hands of this administration. The
~ .,
than ordinary importance. lie has for
years been IL prominent factor in In
diana politics, and at one time, when
wealthy, he contributed largely to the
Democratic cause. He is heartily ell
dorsed by the Indiana delegation in
Congress, but even that fails to secure
anything more than promises. IIcn-
drIcks has been dead but six months,
and to day it is almost impossible for a
Hendricks Democrat to get ANYTHING
within the gift of his party.

The HENs.-Indian corn should not
be exclusively fed to hens in the win
ter, as it tends to fatten them rather
than to make them lay eggs. Wheat
screenings, oats, barley and buck
wheat, with crushed bone, oyster
shells and scrap cake, with warm
water in their drinking troughs given
daily, constitute a system of feeding
that require little thought or care.
Hens cannot resist this feeding long.
If they sleep warm, have a sheltered
run upon bare ground, and along the
south side of barn or fence, or
under an open wagon shed, and are
not overfed, eggs will reward the
keeper. Poultry houses are usually
too high. Plenty of air is a good
thing in summer, but high quarters
are always cold.

1t will never do to think too highly

lift its hat to your fathers son, too

your father, it will soon learn to stand
in your presence, covered, and even

on people as though they were moth

MAKE HENS LAY.-Ihe agricultural
papers and poultry journals throughout
the New England states have, within a
few weeks, published several articles in
respect to making hens lay by the use of
Sheridan's Powder, which have aroused
a deep interest in the subject. The idea
of making hens lay in the winter seems
to have been a new revelation, but since
these articles appeared thousands have
demonstrated the fact that it can be
done with great profit. With view of
establishing beyond all question the great
value of Sheridan s Powder to make hens
lay, and with view of obtaining the eX-
perience of large number of intelligent
users for publication, the proprietors, |.
