Railroads Vet on Paper.

Huron special, 16: The railroad
builders, who few weeks ago seemed
determined to connect Huron with Dui.
nth by the construction Of either or
both the Duluth, Huron, and Denver, or
the Watertown and Pacific railroads, are
just now painfully quiet concerning
their enterprises. From one of the di-
| rectors of the first mentioned line your
correspondent is assured that while very
little is said by any OF those interested d
III the project much work is being az
complished and the plans OF the com
pany are being more fully perfected
each day. Eastern capitalists are be
coming more and more interested and
are el tering into the scheme in more
interested way than by merely giving us
encouraging words. The various towns
along the line of the survey are actively
letters are being received aud prof
fers made, and it is probable
that within very short time the public
will be given some very lntere sting de-
tails regarding the building of the Du-
lutb, Huron and Denver railroad.
Concerning the proposed Watertown
and Pacific, which also oontemplates
taking in Huron on its line, little can be
said. 1t is we'll known however, that
President Mcintyre and his associates
are not idle, but on the contrary are
pushing their enterprise with all pracii-
cable speed. There is no lack of ,eneray Y
on the part q The directory or manag-
ment of either Of the prospective lines,
but the quiet manner in which they are
conducting their respective affairs gives
the public very little upon which to
base it's hopes of ultimately securing the
benefits of railroad connection for
Huron with Duluth.

HISTORY OF A VENDETTA.
How -Four Families Have Been AL
most Exterminated

How -Four Families Have Been AL
most Exterminated.
A St. Louis paper of February 18th
says: The recent arrest of Tom Russell
in Carbondale, Jackson county, Ills,
has revived interest In the most bloody
vendetta ever fought In this country,
which resulted in the almost complete
determination OF four powerful families.
Russell is now held on two indictments
tor murder in the first degree, which
have been pending for ten years.
Among the prominent families OF
farmers living in the western portion of
Williamson county, ILL.,, in 1872, were the
Russells, Bulliners, Hendersous, Cranes
and Sisneys. There were several grown
sons and daughters in each family, and
trouble between two of these started the
feud. Election day in 1873 the two
families had u pitcned battle at Crane
vile, in WINCH two Bulliners aud one
Russell were wounded. Then the friends
OF the combatants espoused their cause,
| I'll til haif-dozen families were involv-
ed on each side. La December 1878, .old
| man" George Bulllper was shot from
ambush and killed on his way to Gar.
bondale. He died calling on his boys to
ayenge his death. In March, 1874
while David Buliiner, one of the boys,
was returning from church with a
| woman in buggy, he was shot from d
hedge and killea, and his companion
dangerously wounded.
The families were opposed in this way
| The Russells, SisDeys, Detmores and
Hendersons against the Bnllinefs,
Hinchclives and Rndds. The score a
this point stood two to nothing in favor
of the Russells. The night of the 18th
of May, while Joseph Henderson wat
standing on his own doorstep, he wa,
shot and killed aud man named Jacot
Detmore wounded. Two days latte
Detmore was ambnshed and killed thu
tieing the score. On October 24tL
DIR. Vicent Hinchciitfe was shot iron
behind and killed. One month late
Leyidus Rudd received load of buck
shot in the side. In January. 1874, g
w, Slsney was shot, but recovered
August 9th he was shot with rifle, bu
again recovered; December 18th: 1874
was at home, surrounded by his eigh
children and neighbor named jaime
Hinemau, when the glass IN the windoy
. was broken by bullet and Sisney fel
mortally wounded. Two weeks latel
John Russell was killed on the streets G
Marion, and the year 1875 opened wit

Washington special: One of the
most attentive listeners to the debates
over the Fitz John Porter bill, which
have been occupying the attention of
the house for week past, was Congress
gresham John B. Weber, of the
Niagara county district OF New York.
When seen by your correspondent on
| Wednesday, and asked HWill yon vote
for the bill to restore Fitz John Porter ?'
Colonel Weber replied: 81 have not
yet made up my mind. [ entered this
congress Drejudiced against Fitz John
Porter. He was my old commandef and
McClellan's right hand man. am in
clined to think, strange as it may seem,
that both sides of this question was
right, that is to say, that the court
martial which convicted him did right
| at the time, because 1t was necessary to
kill MoClellanism If our
arms were ever to be sue
cessful. The worship of Mcclellan was
30 great among the boys that it absorb
ed love OF country and everything else,
Still, l believe that Porter has been pun
ished enough, for / cannot bring myself
to think that he was traitor. A man
who led us as he did in the seven days
| fight could never have had tra1torous
thought towards his country. In those
army days the most intense and bitter
jealousies existed, aud am inclined TO
think that shall now vote to restore
him and he did SO vote on the prlncipie
that if there is any doubt the benefit Of
it should be given to the accused"
Mr.. Weber is one of those few men III
congress who have paid close and rigid
attention to every debate which has
come up thus far, and in this he gives
promise of making an extremely valu-
| able member in the future, if his district
| takes O notion to return him again.

One Of the important questions be-
fore the house Is that relating tea re-
vision of the tariff aud an earnest fight
will be made on both sides. Morrison's
tariff bill has antagonizad the rice and
sugar interests of the south, the iron
men of Pennsylvania and the few demo-
cratic lumber merchants from Michigan
who have seats in congress. The demo
cratic majority in the forty-ninth con-
gress is about thirty less than it was in
the last congress. OF the loss to the
party great proportion has been from
the ranks of those who supported Nor
rison in his horizontal reduction bill of
two years ago. Hence it is more than
probable that Randall's strength to-day
is create. than it was then, and that the
Morrison tariff bill of 1886 will meet
with no better success, in spite of the
fact that there is democratic majority
of upwards of forty, than it did in 1884.

DIVIDING THE PASTURE.
Why Grass Land should be Given a Chance
Il Rest.

to Rest.
The pasture is usually one broad
stretch of land, all of which is con-
stantly accessible to the stock confined.
Not n pasture in a hundred, perhaps,
is divided so as to give the animals
only a portion at a time. No one who
has ever tried it or observed the effects
OF such an arrangement, can doubt the
benefits of change of pasture. 1t is a
benefit to the pasture itself, and a still
greater benefit TO the stock. Its effects
may not be quite so noticeable on
young stock turned out to pick Il liv-
ing; but upon milch COWS that have to
do more than simply hold their own in
flesh, it is altogether different. A
change of pasturage works wonders
with them. In fact, the flow of milk

Slonal change of pasture, unless, in
deed, there be so extensive a range
that only "A small portion of it can be
touched. Take a pasture of say two
acres to the cow, which is about the
average. 1t will be kept continually

Constantly close-picked pasture land

He was at n time an inveterate card
player, and always came home from

threatened all sorts of things unless he
reformed. So the Count had a lay.
figure made, and ordered his valet to
place it in his bed every night about
eleven. His wife, who was in the
habit of peeping into his bedroom to
see ii he were there, vas thus imposed
ON for some time. One night, how
ever, having important news TO COM
mnnicate to him, she resolved to wake
him up, and thus discovered the trick.
Inc Countess said nothing, bu; deter
mined to turn the tables on her hus-
band, She accordingly placed the lay
inquire upright behind the door. The
Count, returning home as usual in the
darkness of the night, knocked down
the llgurc, and the next second the
whole house was aroused by cries of
Thieves! thieves! help! helpv OF
course, when lights were brought, the
count stood abashed, and, asking his
vines pardon, swore he would turn

had proposed an excursion by water to
Diamond Cove Island in his two yachts.
His suggestion was adopted. The children
went with their grandfather and their par
ents in the other boat. Quite a lively
race ensucd and 50 interested were the
eNcurSioniSts in the contest that they did
not notice Il heavy squall coming.
Before those in the first boat knew their
danger the gale struck the yacht. The vic.
TINS were all crowded in u little cockpit,
and with one exception were unable to free
themselves. Little James Cleveland, aged
fifteen, leaped overheard and escaped the
suction that carried the party down. His
father rescued him. When the yacht cap
