THE EXPERIMENTAL EARN.

II. A. Swaine next read the report Of
the committee upon the experimental
farm. which was simple statement of
the history of the institution and its
present condition. He reported that
the department of agriculture of the
state university, by which the former
is conducted. has only one student and
only three graduates.
Prof Porter of the department of
agriculture of the State University de-
tended the farm and a sharp personal
debate followed between him and ID. E.
Myers. Of the Farmers Advocate. Mr..
Myers offered the following:
Resolved, That we demand that the next
legislature separate its fund arising from
the sale of lands donated by the act of con-
gresS to the state of Minnesota for the pur-
pose Of establishing an agricultural and in
dustrial college from the university fund,
where it was placed by act of the legisla-
ture Of 1865. aud that separate college be
established in accordance with the spirit
ana intent Of the act of congress
At the conclusion of the debate Mr.
MYERS resolution was adopted by Ga
to Z. Thus concluded the session for
the day.

NEVADA IRRIGATION.

The Gazette which has always
taken a commendable interest in
the growth and progress Of Nevada
has the following sensible article,
California is to have an Irrigation
Convention. Why cannot Nevada
haye one? Such a convention
could do effective work. For a
number of years an effort has been
made to secure legislative aid that
would neable us to make productive
much Of the rich desert land which
is now a waste. In the Legislatures
of 1883 and 1885, Senator Marker
introduced bills for outstanding
and utilizing the waters Of the
State, which failed to become a
law. Were such convention
held, the best and most feasible
plans could be discussed, and an
act formulated which would meet
with favorable consideration. by
our next Legislature.
Markers bill was an excellent
one except that it was rather com
plicated and compelled people to pay
so much per inch for the water
whether they used it or not.
With this feature eliminated
the bill ought to pass at the next
session, provided the trades and
bargains on the Penitentiary
Wardenship do not kill it.

CONGRESSIONAL PRAYERS.

There are many members OF Con
cress who think the Office of Chap
lain is an unnecessary bestowal Of
time and money, and they have
been discussing the probable out
come of the series of sensational
prayers being offered by the blind
Chaplain. One member says these
PRAYERS are but slightly removed
from Kearneyism, and are calcu-
lated to give the public a wrong
impression Of the respectful tolera-
ton with which many members
view the Chaplain's Office. 1t is
safe to say that but few members
devoutly believe in the efficiency of
prayer as a means Of temperlne
the legislation Of Congress.
The prayers of the blind Chap
lain, Milburn, were exceedingly
good prayers, and much appreci'
ated by the people, but there is a
serious question as to their pro-
prlety. It has been the custom to
simply invoke the blessing Of the
Almighty upon the, deliberations
of the House and Senate, and from
q cursory glance at the work of the
honorable bodies we are disposed
to believe that the prayers were
not answered.
The prayers are little more than
a sort Of official acknowledged ent
of the Divine power and made out
Of respect to the feelings Of Chris
tiaus of all denominations.
To allow a Chaplain to take sides
with measures before Congress, and
to criticize, under the cloak of
supplications to Heaven, the do
ings of Congress, is allowing
Chaplain a latitude which places
him on an equal footing with any
member, except in the matter of
being allowed to vote. Once pre-
cedent Is established there is no
telling where the matter will end.
For instance, suppose Chaplain
prayed as follows:
Look down, Oh Lord, upon the
deliberations of this House, and
especially the Committee on Mines
and Mining, that they may make
favorable report upon the bill of
my friend Brown from the State of
Colorado, and vouchsafe, Oh Lord,
to so turn the hearts of the men,
bers so that they will pass the bill
aforesaid by at least twenty-seven
majority, and convert Thompson of
Kansas to our way Of thinking. the
same Of which we ask i'll thy name,
On Lord. Amen.

They were both young. He came to
visit his old home and met the fair Isabel.
Ii was case VI love at first sight. for in
some inexplicable way Cupid is more
likely to strike the hearts of those who
have empty pockets. His parents opposed
the match. but love laughs at obstacles
and the couple made what is called a run
away marriage.
Their home was in Liverpool where the
husband was clerk in large wholesale
house. But Isabel was not satisfied with
a limited salary and drawing from some
private sources. she persuaded him to
commence in the liquor business. Her
father being a wine merchant, she had
assisted in keeping his books. and could
and would make it success; she felt per-
fectly safe as intoxicants in any form had
never crossed her lips.

to please his wife engaged in the business.
Matters looked very prosperous for time.
and the tall, handsome husband seemed
the very ideal of happy and contented
man. In the course of very few years
he began to show signs OF the wine cup.
His face had a red. flushed. bloated look,
and he grew corpulent. The occasional use
of stimulants soon became habtual leading
to confirmed Incorporate habits. and he
eventually died from repeated attacks of
delirium tremens. The business was
nevertheless prosperous. and it was not
long till the Young widow had many adj
mirers. and from these she chose good
temperate Young man. and they were mar
ried. Very soon, however, the second
husband began to walk in the footsteps OF
the first one, and re. too. fell an easy vic
tim to the demon alcohol.
And he died and was buried. Will the
widow now relinquish her business? No,
indeed, it is too profitable, and the total
absrainer enlarged her borders and pur-
chased a fine hotel, which she furnished
with the magnifirence of some in our own
city today. And she fain would make a
third matrimonial venture. Whether she
ever felt like an old Scotch lady, who, on
approaching the minister with a marriage
license for the fourth time, modeslly
apologized that "she was sorely troubled

of conjecture, but at all events she mar

BlO0dhOunds in Texas.

Every gang of convicts in the State, in
side and outside of the walls, is provided
with three or more trained hounds. some
times bloodhounds, but more ordinarily
common deerhounds. for they are harder
and stand the work for which they are
trained much better than the booded
stock 1t is simply surprising TO see how
perfectly these brutes are trained and how
we'll they understand their business. The
hounds of the Huntsville penitentiary are
kept outside the prison walls at what is
known as the state farm.
And these are the brutes we read so
much about?" | remarked to the super
intendent.
Yes; they are the famous bloodhounds
that is. as much bloodhounds as you will
find in Texas. They are simply deer or
fox hounds, trained to hunt men,"
DO you keep them shut up all the
timer"
Yes; we do that to make them fierce
and keep them away from the convicts.
They would make it lively for the boys if
thew had their freedom"
SIS there much difficulty in training
bloodhound,p"
I'VE do not consider it difficult, but on
the contrary believe the guards consider
it sport. 1t will only require a few mo-
ments to show how it is done"
A convict or ''trusty" was sent down
through large field with instructions to
climb the fence and make a detour
through the timber of couple of miles
coming out in just the opposite direction
from where he started, and returning to
the farm through a small stream, which
he was compelled to wade. 1t required
some twenty minutes for him to make
the trip. and when he was seen to emerge
from the other side, and it was certain he
could get back in safety, the hounds were
turned loose. They were shown the trail
and they started over fields, through
marshes, over fences and other obstruc-
tons with the speed of a deer. In the
meantime the "trusty" had returned. and
was directed to climb a tree some 800
wards distant from where he was stand
ing. He did not require second bidding.
