The River and Igarbor Bill Job.

WHY THE POTOMAC FLATS ITEM WAS REJECTED
Washington dispatch to the BALTIMORE sun:
The present river and harbOr bill is about as
transparent job as any OF its notorious predeces
sors audit is no exaggeration to say that atleast
one-half of its appropriations have no other pur.
pose than TO help the reelection of certain MEM
bers of the House. The government has spent q
large sumiupon that splendid and most desirable
Improvement tor the benefit of the national CAPT.
tai, and consequently, for the benefit of the coun
try atlarge, the reclamation of the Potomac flats.
II no appropriation is made this year much of
what has been expended will go for naught.
Yet the bill, as reported to the House, contains
not one dollar for this object, and the omission
is excused on the false plea that it is not eXpe-
dent to continue the improvement until the
tide to the flats is satisfactorily determined.
the real reason is that the bill had been sWelled
to limits beyond which the committee feared
to go, and ii any hing had been put In tor WASH
fngton some mlldam or mudhole elsewhere
would have suffered. 1t will be remembered
that President Arthur was impelled to veto one
OF these Ubiquitous bills, and ii the present
measure is not relieved of its inequalities and
inJusticeS 1t may proove too strong q dose for
the stomach of President Cleveland.

Woman SuffragiStS Thank the Pope.

say:
''The woman suffrage party of New York

part composed OF persons not members of the
church over which you preside, desire to ex-
press to you their warmest thanks for your

OF mankind throughout the world. No act that
your predecessors for many generations have
done will bear such great and glorious fruit"

The Slick Piano.

II has long been known that certain
hins-stones emit musical note wher
struck with other ilints; and, NJ. Baudre,
a French musician. has constructed
piano on this principle. The ilints are
chosen according to their pitch when
struck, and suspended horizontally by
their two ends in arrow like the KEYS of q
piano. An elegant metal framework
supports the stones, and wires are used
TO suspend them. A sounding-board is
placed fraction of an inch below the
row of stones. Tunes are played by
means Of two smaller flints held in the
hands. The stone which emits the
greatest tone weighs four and onc-half
pounds; that which gives the correspond
ing half-tone weighs nine pounds. This
large flint is Immediately followed by
one weighing one ounce. A three
ounce stone in the set gives the same
note as another weighing six thousand
grains; 50 that 1t is not alone the size of
the stones, but other properties, which
Affect the sounds.-N. r Chrissian Ad-

A Murder onfessed.

LrrrLE Rock, January WATSON, im'
plicated in the Barnes Holman murder at
Plummer, a short time ago, turned States
evidence and gave the whole thing away.
The preliminary trial took place at Plum
mer yesterday, at which Watson said:
On or about the 20th Of November last,
Holman and Barnes went with the wheel
of fortune to a negro festival. Watson and
Cullins also went on horseback, and stay
ing awhile, started home. After going
some distance, Cullins proposed to Watson
that they go back TO the place and stay
all night with Barnes and Holman
and play cards, saying they Barnes
and Holman) were going to stay there till
morning. Upon their reaching the place
on their return they found everyone gone
but Barnes and Holman, who were lying
under the table on some blankets, Holman
having his coat and hat oil and Barnes
having all his clothes on. As they rode up
and stopped, Barnes said, "Get down boys
and let's have a game" Cullns was the
first off his horse, which he turned loose.
While Watson was tying his horse two
shots were fired, and Watson saw that
they had shot Holman while he was still
on the blanket under the table. Cullins
then pulled Holman out from under the
table by the feet, and Barnes and Cullns
struck him on the head several times with
an axe. Watson says he started TO run,
but Barnes presented his pistol and
told him il he started he would
shoot him, and ordered him to hitch Hol-
mans horses to the wagon, which he did,
and that Barnes and Cullins threw the
body into the wagon and they all came on
to Plummer, where Cullns told him to go
put up the horses they had ridden, and
meet them up near Morrillton. He says
they took the body and told him they
buried it in the field. Watson met Barnes
and Cullins there next morning at four
O'Clock, where Barnes stayed until the
next day, then took the wagon and team
and went away to Logan County, where he
sold them. Watson says they told him il
he told it they would kill him. The parties
are all in jail at Morrillton awaiting the
action of the Grand Jury next March The
citizens Of Plummer deserve praise for
their efforts in working up the facts and
prosecuting the criminals.

WINTER GAIN.
Why the Growth of stock Mast lie Pushed

possible way Of securing a return fol

from now till they once more run on
pasture. The value Of animals, at 50
much y pound live weight, eau of course
be readily calculated, and a l,00O-pound
yearling steer. ut 9 a hundred. is worth
just $40; now it hardly needs a reason
ing process TO understand that il this
yearling steer should weigh no more on
April 30th than he did December lst, he
is worth no more then than now, and
whatever feed he has consumed il It be
only $40 worth has been absolutely
wasted, while if he should make gain
OF $50 pounds, at cost of Sl5, the
waste would amount to only s., and he
would moreover 90 on to his summer
feed in good condition and gain far
more rapidly than his companion, whose
rations have merely served to keep him
alive, and whose summer growth will
barely begin till summer is half over.
The only plan is to keep pushing the
growth of the stock kept over winter as
much as possible. knowing that tho only
thing to depend on for the expense Of
their feed and care is the growth they
make during the winter and the good
condition in which they 90 ~ pasture

cost its equivalent in additional food re-
quired over and above that required for
mere sustenance, so that the waste would
be as great as though no growth had
been made. there can be no question but
the extra food would be well invested.
Many young, inexperienced feeders do
not realize that an animal is m pre likely
to eat his head off when insullicientlv
