Agricultural.

The hay crop in this section proves fully
equal to expectations. Had we escaped a
short season Of drouth before all the grass
was quite grown, the crop would have been
much the heaviest that we have had for many
years. Though the dry weeks diminished the
crop, we frequently hear it said III have
cut third more hay than did last year" or
III have cut twice as much as cut two years
apo on the same land"

1t is said that Connecticut farmer, hav-
ing, like 80 many others last fall more apples
than he knew what to do with, stored 400
barrels in a neighbours large ice.house. The
ice was filed around the barrels in the win
ter, and the apples we're frozen solid. In
June they were found to be in perfect condi-
ton, and the whole we're sold in New York
city at So per barrel. They were Baldwin
apples, and when taken from the ice-house
we're hard, fresh and sound. II this story is
not in any part a fiction, it teaches a way to
keep apples worth trying.

BARN UM ayD PfGS FEET
A Trick About Cooking Which the shown
Tanght Harrison Phrbns.

From the New York Times
The late Harrison Phuebus ;was a epicure
above everything else. The creator of new
dish was to him greater man than he who
won many battles. Among the guests at his
hotel at Old Point Comfort, few years ago,
was the veteran Snowman, T.. T. Barnum.
He, too, loves the good things of this life.
One afternoon the two were sitting together
on the hotel veranda. Barnum was spinning
one of the yarns for which he is famous. He
broke of suddenly in the middle of his story
with the remark:
"Say, Phebus, why don't you ever serve
pigs feet for breakfast ."
Because they're not fit to eat" laconically
replied Mr. Phpbus.
"Tbey're not, Ell? I'll cure YOU of that be-
lief Got a cook you can trust?'
"Several of them" responded the aston
ished Phoebus.

they're cool unwrap 'em and split 'em

centre. Next day broil 'em and serve 'em
hottie hotter the better, but for heavens
sake don't fry EN-"
The cook followed instructions, and the
next day Mr.. Phubus took breakfast with
Mr.. and Mrs, Barnum and the friend who
tells the story. Mr.. Phoebus ate of them and
ate heartily. They just touched his taste and
'supplied long felt want" When the pigs
feet had disappeared Mr.. PhCebus' comment
was, "Say, Barnum, that's food fit for a
king"
And that is how it came about that the
visitor at the Queens hotel, in London at
Leland's hotel, in Chicago at the West End
hotel, at Long Branch, and at various first
class hotels in this city finds on the break fast

Revival OF the Irish Tongue.


Attention has been attracted TO the
thoughtful article of Charles De Kay in a
New York paper on the revival of the Irish
tongue, the monuments of which extend
back even beyond that early day in the
sixth century when st. tolumbkille, bard
and saint, set out TO convert the Druids of
Caledonia. To save this language from
decay ought surely to be a work in which
all students Of history would eagerly join.
For in the ancient Irish manuscripts are
entombed wealth of information of the
times that gave them birth. When much of
the present civilized world was in semi
barbarism, Ireland was a shining educa-
tional light Five hundred years before
William, the Norman, fought the battle Of
Hastings, st. Columbkille had made in his
own hand three hundred copies of the sa-
cred Scriptures, and his successors for cen
turies thereafter burned the midnight oil
with undated zeal.
II is manifest therefore that the digging
into that dim past which covers ancientlrish
history would unearth some rare treasures.
Not only does the sentiment of the revi-
val of the Irish tongue appeal to
all true lrishmen, but to every historian
worthy of the name. But it must be
very difficult task, for the teachers of the
ancient Celtic tongue are rarer than white
ravens. Mr.. De Kay regretfully observes
" In Englanda chair of Celtic has been eS-
tablshed at Oxford, in Scotland at Glas-
gov, in France at Paris, and in Wales at
the new university. But in America, not
withstanding the host of Celtic speakers,
the vast army of patriotic Irishmen and
Irish women, the thrifty and well-Organi2ed
communities of Welshmen, and the riches
distributed among them. there is in
America, to their shame be it spoken, not
one university or college which has pro-
fessorship of Celtic"
1t must be admitted, however. that the
hopes for the revival of that tongue in
which Dearmuid O'Sullivan, the hedge
poet, sang of Erin, are not based on strong
foundations. The modern tendency is
toward homogeneous nations speaking the
same tongue. 1t is vastly more convenient,
but the world loses much that would
enrich it in this decay of languages, e
knowledge of which would throw light on
many modern riddles.
To the English invaders the Celtic race
date the decline and fall of their language,
and consideration of this thought gives the
1rishmen who are fighting for Ireland s
recognition added strength not to cease
their efforts until the victory is won.

\ STORY has been going the rounds of tho
Republican press that the Vance family, of
which Senator Vance, of North Carolina, is
the head, are all provided with snug govern
ment positions, and the alleged tale is made
to point the moral of the evils to which
nepotism leads. Mark how plain tale will
set this down. Senator Vance saws: "My
son Charlie is my clerk, a very confidential
position, and is paid about 60 per day while
Congress is in session only. My son David
is earning his bread on the Times. Democrat
in New Orleans. Tom is lord mayor of the
town of Lenoir, and practices law. Zeb was
appointed cadet in the navy by udge A she,
graduated at Annapolis, and when the naval
force was cut down, by act of ISs3 he was
thrown out and was appointed to the army
by President Arthur My little nephew,
Hall, was appointed a page in the House
originally by the Tennessee delegation, where
he liyes.' The man who started the lie
charged the senator with every appointee
rejoicing in the name OF Vance. The North
Carolina senator wants to know what his tate
would have been had he possessed the name
OF Smith This irresponsible libeling of
pubic men Is growing disgusting beyond
endurance, and 1t does much to keep out of
the federal service those who would dignity
and strengthen it.

Not Consistent.

Mr.. Wrestling, of the Cumberland Val
ley, and proprietor of charcoal pig iron
furnace, was prompted to declare the other
day to the ways and means committee that
he would tax everything European-even
its air. Mr.. Wrestling goes the whole
figure on protection to home products.
Evidently it would be hard to get ahead of
Mr.. Wrestling. His desire to have Euro
pean gales stopped at our shores, however,
shows that Mr.. Wrestling is a constitu-
tional rebel against the fiat of the Almighty
by whom no means have been provided of
laying an embargo upon European air. Mr.
Wrestling in this Righteousness is quite in
sympathy with his fellow prOtectionists,
who do kick against the pricks most
persistently and blindIy. They will not see
that natural laws are beating down their
ancient positions and that progress towards
free trade in this country is inevitable.
But there is Just one thing European,
which the protectionists do not want to
tax, and that is the European man. If
they We're really intent upon high tariff,
for the reason that it will protect Amer
can labor, as they claim, they would adj
yocate tax upon immigrants. Instead of
that they want all they can get. They
want more laborers to have cheaper labor.
They import Hungarians and all out
landish people who are cheap.
