denly Carried Away.


ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE funeral yester-
day Of Mr.. d. Robert Barclay was largely
attended by the friends Of the deceased and
by members of the legal profession, of
which he was prominent member. Mr..
Barclay was born at Edgarton, Pa, June

Of Arkansas, who died the following year.
In 1854 he married Mary NJ. Hill, a daughter
OF Elisha II. Sheppard, divorced wife of
Britton A. Hill, the author Of "Absolute
Money" ard the great greenback expounder.
This marriage was accompanied by much
that was -omantic and sensational. Mrs.
Hill obtained her divorce by an act Of the
legislature, aS In those days the laws were
not as lenient In divorce matters as now,
and the statutes made no provision for
divorces. After the marriage Mr.. Hill took
occasion TO comment upon the conduct OF
his wife, which resulted In an encounter
with Mr.. Barclay on Fourth street, opposite
the Planters, in which Hill was badly dis
comfltted. Mr.. Sheppard, Mr.. Barclays
gave his daughter handsome COM
petence. Mr.. Barclay, after his marriage,
practiced his profession, the law, and en-
gagged In business as title investigator.
He was the author OF "Barclay's Digest"
q codiiication of legal forms, the laws of the
state, and decisions Of the supreme court,
which is considered standard authority in
all state legal matters. lie was also at one
time editor and proprietor Of the Dispatch,
paper which afterward consolidated with
the Post. His wife mas been at Alexandria,
Va, with her children, for some time look
Ing after their educational interest, but re.
turned home short time prior to his death,
and was at his bedside when he died. He
leaves three daughters, Mrs. Z. l.. McClel.
land, who resides in Kentucky, and Misses
Ettie and Annie Barclay. Judge Sheppard
Barclay, Of the circuit court, although son
of Britton A. Hill, legally assumed the name
of Barclay upon the marriage OF his mother
with Mr.. Barclay.

An Anecdote Which Throws Some Light
Upon Old-Fashioned Campaigns.
When Brough and Vallandigham
were running for Governor of Ohio,
there was large meeting held at Ports
mouth, on the Ohio river. The best
talent of both parties WAS on hand and
some fine speeches were made. One OF
the leading citizens of Portsmouth was
banker named Smith, who took pro-
minent part in the proceedings Of the
meeting. He introduced the speakers.
Governor Tod, think, being one of
them. At any rate, after the speech
was finished the crowd began to call
s.Smith, smith, until he was compelled
to show himself. Coming forward on
the platform, he said: .'Fellow-citiZens,
you all know me, every one of you.
l was raised among you, and you
know | can't make a speech; but I'll
tell YOU what l can do. / can whip
any man of my age in Scioto County"
This, of course, was greeted with yells
of enthusiasm. The next morn
ing Smith, man about fifty years of
age, was sitting in his Office, when in
walked tall, gray-bearded man, with
an eye like an eagle and a carriage that
betokened fight in every move, and asked
if Mr.. Smith was in: ....-~'r'
Yes, sir, that's my name," answered
j Mr.. Smith.
"Iheard you make q speech last night,
Mr.. Smith,
Eyes, SIR"
you said you could lick any man of
your age in Scioto County. Mr.. Smith.
how old are you?'
To which Mr. Smith replied. sizing
his man up: II am seventy-nine years
and nine months old" And" said
Mr.. Smith afterward, II was awfully
afraid had placed it too low"
"Well, Mr.. Smith, you are an Older
man than am. Good day." said he OF
the gray beard.
Smith never attempted to speak in
| public AGAIN. -MinneapoLis Tribune.

HOME AND FARM,

The laying of soft-shelled eggs
sometimes results from overlooking,
and sometimes lack or lime or shell ma.
terial.
The Farm Journal says that the
animals must drink in hot weather and
must take what they can get. But they
hate nasty water as much as we do.
Lemon Cream: Peel three lemons
and squeeze out the juice into one quart
of milk. Add the peel, cut in pieces,
and cover the mixture for few hours;
then and six eggs, well beaten, and one
pint of water, well sweetened. Strain
and simmer over gentle fire till it
thickens. Serve very cold.-Boston
Globe.
Coffee Cake: One cup of brown
sugar, one cup of butter, one-half cup
of molasses, one cup of strong, cold cot
fee, one teaspoonful of soda, two tea
spoonfuls of cinnamon, one teaspoonful
of cloves, one cup of raisins or currents
and five cups of sifted flour. Add the
fruit last, rubbed in a little of the flour.
Bake about one hour. Exchange.
"A Western farmer advises stringing
seed corn by tying the ears together
with hus Ks in some place where the
grain can be saturated with coal smoke.
The odor, he says, repels squirrels and
worms from eating the seed. The seed
comes up quicker, the plants grow more
vigorously and rlpen several days
earlier than from seed not so treated
Troy Times.
Too many farmers neglect to bed
the horses. They are foolish. A bed
is needed, even in summer Wheat
straw is the best for the purpose. 1t is
brittle, and the animal will not get his
feet tangled up in it. Dat straw is too
tough. Barley straw is too dusty. 1t
causes irritation of the skin. A few
straws will not do. Give good, soft
bed. Western Rural.
"A practice that has been tried with
good success, says COlmdn's Rural, is
to mix the green hay with some old hay
or straw, putting first layer of the
straw, then one of hay, then another OF
straw, and so on till the NOW Is full Or
the stack complete. The straw not only
absorbs the moisture from the hay, and
thus aids in preserving it, but it is itself
improved by this absorption of the odors
of the fresh hay, SO that stock will eat
the straw up clean, when before they
would hardly touch it.
To crystalline fruit, pick out the fin
est of any kind of fruit, leave in the
stones; beat the whites of three eggs to
a stiff froth, lay the fruit in the beaten
egg, with the stems upward; drain and
beat the part that drips off again: select
them out one by one, and dip them into
a cup of finely-powdered sugar. Cover

When the icing on the fruit becomes
firm, pile them on a dish and set them
in a cool place. Boston Budget.

A Snow-StOrm I'm Ballroom.

Every one has heard of dancing on the
fee, but dancing in a ballroom under q
snow storm is not so familiar. This,
however, was what a party of friends
found themselves doing not long ago in
Sweden. The circumstances are thus de-
scribed in foreign paper: During an ex-
tremely cold night, but with the sky clear
and the stars shining, a large assembly
were gathered for ball in Sweden, and
in the course af the evening it became SO
hot in the room that several ladies faint
ed. An officer tried to open a window,
but he saw that the pressure of the ice was
holding it fast shut. So he broke a pane,
and the rush of cold air coming from
without from without produced a fall of
snow in the room. The atmosphere had
been charged with watery vapor, and this
becoming suddenly condensed and re-
frigerated fell, under the form of snow, on
the heads of the astonished dancers.
