murderer from place to place until he located
him, few weeks ago. after he had lost the trail

sheriff that he would consent to go to Indiana
without a requisition il he would not turn him
over to any other officer until he reached New
Albany nor make the matter public along the
journey. The sheriff, Riel, and his wife, with
the prisoner and his wife, whom he remarked

A Roman Story.

Merchant Traveller: Maximus Sew
erus Tarquinirs was a Roman senator
representing the S teenth district and
resided with bis wife at a boarding
house. on the Appian Way. 1t had long
been the wish of the noble Roman and
of his wife, that she should wear q
sealskin cloak to keep out malaria, but,
SO far, the legislative stipend had been
unequal to crafty the J%effersonian
simplicity Of the Senator. One cloudy,
cold morning just after the ides of De.
cember, he kissed his wife goodbye al
the front door Of the c~aravansary and
yanking his toga up to shut out the
insalubrious atmosphere, he strobe
down the steps.
"Will you be back to lunch, Tark,
dearp" lisped Mrs. Severus.
"No. Pulcherrima Candida, not to.

TAM business before the senate, and
the interests of tie people demand
every hour Of a patriots time, every
consideration of his duty"
1T is enough, dear; be back to din.
ner though, for we are to 60 to the Cir.
Gus Maximus this eve to hear Il new
joke by the great clown, Terence Ca.

THAT is, indeed, worthy of heroic
effort he said firmly, almost fiercely,
and for the second time gave his togs
a hitch and put on his strobe.
1t was late when Tarquinius return
ed, but his dinner had been kept warn
for him and his wife met him in her
boudoir in the l. over the kitchen. He
had a large package in his arms, but
she climbed over it aud kissed him.
"At last" he murmured, throwing
it on the bed.
"What is itp" she asked tenderly.

The evidence before the committee accords

She Was From the Country.

San Francisco Chronicles: She was
from the country, and as pretty a
picture as you could imagine. The
difference between city and country
girls in California is generally in favor
OF the country girl. She was visiting
some friends. and this was a theatel
party. She was in charge of a superb
city dude, a man full of metropolitan
airs and graces, albeit he had never
been beyond the Rocky mountains. He
was just spreading himself on this
rosebud from the interior, and she,
like a simple, innocent country girl,
was very grateful, and very ingenious,
and very much interested, and so the
dude sailed in. He told her about
everything that had been in San Fran
cisco for the last ten years. He de

larged upon the late Nelson, the grea,

seemed to be quite familiar.

The question of interstate com
merce and of cheapening Transports
ton has engaged the attention of the
whole country for years. This agita-
ton led the Senate in the last Con-
gress to appoint a committee OF able
and experienced Senators, who have
recently reported the results of their
Investigations in an able paper. A
careful examination % that report
fully discloses the difficulties that lie in
the way Of so controlling railways as
to permit of no injustice being done to
the people Or 20 these corporations.
III aggregate capital of the railway
corporations of tho United States is
believed TO be over SIS, 900, 600, 600.
Their affairs are conducted by the best
business talents the country affords;
they have before them the very natural
object OF msking their investments
pay, and although those corporations
are in all respects amenable to the
state and national governments which
created them, yet they have rights that
must be respected, and they have in
terests that must be projected, for the
whole country has shared, and mus
continue to share. in the benefits and
blessings of our unequalled extent OF
railway facilities; but c%onceding all
this does not justify the conclusion
that the government. by whose AT
thority these corporations have life,
should place in their hands the exclu-

Growing Onions.

Manure without stint. Apply from TWEEN
ty-fiye to one hundred two-horse wagon loads
Of stable manure, or one thousand to two
thousand pounds of ammoniated superphos-
phate OF lime per acre. The land should be
deeply and finely plowed. 1t is well to 90
this in the fall, and throw the land up in
ridges so that it may be subjected to freezing
in winter, thereby becoming thoroughly pull
verified. In the Southern States planting
may be done either in August and Septem-
Der, or in February and March. In the
North, plant only in early spring, after frosts
are over.
Level and smooth the land over nicely and
roll il. Lay off rill half-inch deep, eighteen
inches apart, IN which SOW the seed thinly,
about four pounds per acre; cover one-half
inch deep, press down firmly or roll lightly.
When the plants are well up, thin out three
to five inches apart; keep cleanly hoed, but
throw no earth to the plants. Fine onions
may be grown as above from the seed. If the
object be to grow sets, then select rather thin
soil, as free from grass and weed seeds as pos
sible. Use ammOniated superphosphates,
about six hundred pounds per acre; stable
manure contains too many seeds of grass and
foul weeds. Sow seeds about June first
thickly in drills, ten to twelve inches apart,
or broadcast, as may suit your convenience.
In this way small onions are produced, called
''sets," which when transplanted, produce
large onions, sets or buttons
