A ride through Ferncliff at this season
of the year is a good thing, but a quiet
walk is better thing. Those who go on
foot, and take plenty of time, can see sew
eral varieties of ferns growing on the great
walls of limestone, and can see, also, on
the rocks, varieties of moss, lichenS, etc,
all of which will be found, on close inSpec-
ton, to be very beautiful. There is con-
siderable color on some of the Fsrncliff
trees, orange, gold and scarlet prevailing
and making the spectacle one of great bril-
liancy. The new lake is to be a very de
lightful feature Of this charming home of
the dead and resort Of the living. The
work OF excavation is now nearly COM
pleted. The banks and sides are sodded
and the lake itself will be kept full by a
number of living springs Of pure water. In
the center a little Emerald isle" has been
constructed-coveredw with grass-which is
g very pretty spectacle Everybody who
visits Ferncliff will wish TO see the lake,
which will soon be finished and
filled with water. The flagstaff on
the soldiers mound, ITO feet high,
is as straight as line, and
the flag which floats from the top can be
seen from various portions of the city.
The staff and colors, with the cannon, make
in themselves, line memorial to the de-
parted heroes whose remains lie in the
mound. The fact is, our cemetery-park, as
q whole and in detail, is one of the finest
things Of the kind in America, and there is
certainly nothing just like it in Europe.
There are finer parks, as matter of course,
but no cemeteries anything like it. We
hope our citizens will make themselves fa-
miliar with the full value Of this splendid
local feature and make liberal provision for
still further increasing ITS attractiveness.
Nowhere are the refinement, taste and true
public spirit of our people more creditably
illustrated than in Ferncliff.
The great silver dollar will be more use
less than ever when supply Of the one,
two and,ten dollar silver certificates get into
circulation. When everybody can get the
big dollars when he calls for them, nobody
will want them. A certain number will be
required for trade uses but the present
quantity is away ahead Of any possible de-
mand for the next quarter of a century, and
the whacking out of the cartwheels, at the
rate Of two millions month, ought to be
stopped. 1t is well TO have enough OF a
good thing but too much OF thing that is
itself sort Of fraud at best gets oppres-
sive after awhile. We ought to have an
honest silver dollar. and then multiply it
only as there is demand for it. Storing
up millions and millions of silver dollars in
the treasury vaults does not make money
plenty.

Cattle In The Stalk Field.

do not turn hungry, starved cattle
into fresh stalk field to remain longer
than three hours, and when taken out
give them plenty of good, clean water
and little salt. Every time you turn
them in allow them to remain from a
half to one hour longer, giving plenty of
water and little salt when taken out.
Continue this until all the corn is gath
cred up, or nearly gathered up, to pre-
vent fo1lnde1ing. Then let them remain
in the field, providing they have plenty
of clean water and salt two or three
times week. Experience has taught
me this to be the only safe way of past
turing stock in fields. If you or any Of
the readers of the Rural will follow this
plan your loss of cattle from feeding on
stalk fields will be not one. It is the dry
feed taken into the stomach that absorbs
all the moisture of the stomach, and
in short time the animal becomes fever
ish and shows signs of weakness, some
times in the knees and sometimes in the
loins, and there are various ways the dis
ease manifests itself. Then the cry goes
out there is new disease among the
cattle, when it is all caused by the de-
rangement of the stomach, which de-
rangement is for the want of pure water
and salt sufficient to keep the stomach
moist and the digestive organs healthy.

Bogus Butter in England.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
The introduction of large quantities of
bogus butter and ''oleo oil'' in England
has caused the dairymen of Great Britain
to ask for legislation that shall insure the
sale of the stuff upon its merits and for
just what it is. Last year there were
exported from this country nearly 49,
100000 pounds of bogus butter and oleo
oil, and England received share of it.
There has been laid before the council
of the British Dairy Farmers association
and referred to special committee bill
providing that all limitations of butter
''shall be called by names clearly
and entirely distinguishable from
the word butter and from any
compound modification or derivation of
that word;' that ali manufactures of
bogus butter in Great Britain shall be
registered; that bogus butter shall not
be colored in imitation of real butter,
and that the bogus product shall be sold
under their right names.

Savings of General Hancock.

Public office is trust, not bounty
bestowed upon the holder; no incompe-
tent or dishonest person should be in
trusted with it.
It is vital princi pie in our system
that neither fraud nor force must be al
lowed to subvert the rights of the people.
The bayonet is not fit instrument for
collecting the votes of freemen.
All classes of our people must share
alike in the blessings of the Union and
are equally concerned in its perpetuity
and in the proper administration of pub
lie affairs.
The great principles of American lib
erty are still the lawful inheritance of this
people and ever should be.
The right of trial by jury, the habeas
corpus, the liberty of the press, the free
dom of speech, the natural rights of
property must be preserved.
Woe be to us whenever it shall come
to pass that the power of the magistrate
civil or military-is permitted to deal
with the mere opinions or feelings of the
people.
Power may destroy the forms, but not
the principles of justice; these will live
in spite even of the sword.
The army should have nothing to dc
with the selection or Inauguration OF
Presidents.
The commanding General, in the dis
charge of the trust reposed in him, will
maintain the just power of the Judiciary,
and is unwilling to permit the civil au-
thorities to be embarrassed by military
interference.
1t is of evil example and full Of danger
to the cause of freedom and good gov
eminent that the exercise of the military
power through military tribunals created
for trial of offenses against the civil law
should be permitted when the ordinary
power of existing state governments are
ample for the punishment of offenders.
Free institutions, while they are es-
sential to the prosperity and happiness
of the people, always furnish the strong
est inducements to peace and order.

The BlOOdhOund's Keen Scent.

Inc BlOOOhOunOS heen Scent.
Atlanta Constitution.
Let me tell you what he can do, and
he can be made to do this any fair day
at Oldtown camp:
1. A convict sleeping in one bunk of
hundred shod and clad precisely as the
hundred convicts about him, may slip his
chain and fee. Ten miles away he may
meet his fellow prisoners again, may run
to and fro among them, may walk with
them mile and leave them. Six hours
after, these hounds put on his track where
he slipped from the camp, will follow
them to where he met his gang, will thread
his track in an about with their hundreds
of tracks, take it up where he leaves them
and run him down, though he cross con-
Wet gangs every mile he runs:
2. This escaping convict, clad in stripes
cut from the same bolt with a hundred
others, may run through the woods,
touching weeds and bushes as he runs.
Fifty convicts, clad as he was clad, may
run through the same woods in every di-
rection. The dogs will hold his scent
running full tilt, breast high. If he
makes curve of forty-five degrees the
dogs will not run the line, but will catch
his scent thirty yards away and cross the
angle, though it were filled with the con-
victs who had eaten and slept with the
fugitive. Often dog will carry scent
in gallop, running parallel thirty yards
to the windward.
An uncanny and terrible little beast is
the red-bone hound, trained for the hunt
ing of man.

OFINTEREST TO WOMEN.
n. Y. World.

n. 4. world.
Throwing the bridal boquet is an ex-
citing feature of modern weddings. Be-
fore leaving home the bride losses her
bridal flowers in the air, and the maiden
who is lucky enough to catch it as it falls
will, if the fates know what they are
about and conduct things properly, be
the next to wed. 1t is very pretty GUS
tom, but just where it originated no one
has been able to tell.
A chatelaine for fan now on exhibition
at a leading jewellers in this city consists
of two medallions, one oblong and the
the other round, of small pearls surround
ed with diamonds. From the lower
medallion hang several charms; one a
diamond heart, another a single stone of
great size in invisible setting. The
chain to which the fan is attached is of
silver, diamond Set in each square link,
and between the links a large pearl.
The custom of sending Easter cards
still holds good, but has sadly degener-
ated from its original simplicity and has
become quite tax upon society. Cards
this year are SO expensive as to be beyond
the reach of most people, the lowest price
for really handsome one being in the
neighborhood of $40. From this the
score runs up to cool hundred or more,
and then the card ceases to be a mere
token of kindly remembrance and be-
comes a costly gift, placing the receiver
of it under embarrassing obligations to
the sender This smacks loudly of Amer
lean vulgarity, which goes to extremes
in everything.
Since it is the fashion now to be robust
and muscular many of the young girls
in the city are devoting good deal of
their precious time to the manly art of
fencing. On Broadway, in the vicinity
of the Metropolitan opera house, is well
known fencing school presided over by a
good looking French professor, where
any morning may be seen bevy of
young women, attended by their chaper-
ones, preparing to do battle with the
deadly foil in costume which appears to
be combination of a Roman warriors
dress and that of Brighton Beach bath
er. Short sleeved tunic, trousers reach
ing to the knee, long stockings, white
canvas sandals, a broad belt, heavy
gauntlets, and, when far enough advanc-
ed, an iron mask like dogs muzzle;
make up this startling toilet; when my
young lady thus arrayed goes in for the
combat with ''lay on acduff " vim she
is sight to win smile from an Egyp-
tan sphynx. However, if she perseveres
she becomes quite expert with her weap-
on, for woman, and can rise above the
absurdity of the situation and appear
really graceful and picturesque, and GER
tainly there is no better exercise than
this practice with fOils.

Health Hints.
Medical World.


Sassafras tea, strongly infused, is
credited with wonderful prophecies for
inducing cheerfulness, free conversational
powers and general feeling of well be-
ing. Teaspoonful doses of sassafras oil,
taken in water, or soda water, are said to
produce delightful species of intoxica-
ton, ard to remove pain of collie, cramp
etc. The external application of the
same oil is also said to relieve neuralgia
pain. Sassafras has long been used in
England as a domestic remedy or pallia-
tive for chronic rheumatism
Powdered sugar has been found to
form an excellent dress for wounds,
ulcers and cavities, excepting in condi-
tons of profuse secretion, in which cases
its action is less satisfactory.
Small repeated doses of sulphur are
highly extolled by an English surgeon
in the treatment of diphtheria. Fifteen
grains OF milk of sulphur may be sus-
pended in an ounce of mucilage, and
favored agreeably. OF this a teaspoon
full or more may be taken every half hour
or hour, according to the age of the
patient

A society woman recently returned
from abroad says of Princess Beatrice,
whom she saw in London: 'She is a
charming woman in appearance, with
brown hair, large brown eyes and beau
tiful figure. Her pictures are very un-
like her and do her great injustice. Hel
face in repose is rather. sad, but when
she is talking her features wear the most
animated expression and are lighted uE
with very winning, sunny smile. She
has less of the heavy German makeup
about her than some of the other mem
beers of her family and her manner is fan
more pleasing than any of the titled
ladies met"

A Maine Father,

Norwich Advertiser.
This is how an old gentlemen proved
to his son that he was not as old as his
father. The father had bought "door-
yard horse" good looking enough, but
worthless as roadster. He wanted to
get rid of him, and so one day he put a
brad in the end of his whip and started
for his sons. As he drove into the sons
dooryard he stuck the brad into the horse,
knocked off his hat with his own hand,
came up to the door flying, and appa-
emily out of breath. The son stepped to
the door. Gather, what have you got
there?" he asked 81 have got the
devil, and I wish somebody had him; he
has about pulled my arms out of the
sockets. He is worth 81, 900 to any man
if he can drive him, but nave got to be
too old to drive such horse as that. "
After the old man had been rubbed with
liniment, and before he went of, his son
offered to swap nice $400 horse for the
puller and to give one hundred boot.
The old gentlemen traded, had some
more iniment rubbed on his shoulders,
and drove away. Three weeks later the
father visited his son again. The father
said to his son: "How do you like your
new horse George?' 'Father, how could
you lie to me as you did?" "Did you
know you were not so old as your father,
George?" II never want to be If I have
got to lie as you did. Don't you want
some more iniment?"

ABOUT SHORTHAND.
Information Concerning Stepography That
Is Often Asked For.

Information Concerning Stepography That
Is Often Asked For.
Inquiries, says the New York Tribune,
like the following are often made: "Can
you tell me what is the best system OF
shorthand? Can it be mastered without
teacher, and in what time? Some
people advertise to teach it in three
months, can it be learned in that time
Is knowledge of shorthand necessary to
obtain a situation as reporter on a
newspaper? How are stenographers
paid? By answering these questions
you will greatly oblige," etc
These questions have been submitted
to highly successful stenographer, who
returns these answers to them:
There are several systems widely prac-
ticed here, and they are all much alike.
There are not few people, however, who
seem to spend most of their time in try
ing to demonstrate that one of the sys-
TENS is vastly superior to all the rest;
but that sort OF talk is the main non
sense, and the student will do well to
concern himself little about it. Each OF
the systems has turned out frst-class
stenographers. More depends on the
man than on the system. Generally the
practiced stenographer does not adhere
closely to any one system, but appropri-
ates suggestions from all.
Shorthand can be learned by the aid
Of text books without a teacher, though,
of course, pupil is likely to make bet
ter progress with competent instruction.
If this cannot be obtained the student
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1886-03-13

should endeavOr to make the acQuain.
lance Of some practical stenographer, who
will give him occasional hints and see
that he keeps on the right track. Most
Of the text books abound in too many re-
finements and contractions, whereby a
few scratches may be made to represent
a whole sentence, much to the delight Of
the novice. The only practical objection
to this sort of shorthand is that such
notes. are found to have half dozen
different meanings when ''cold," and per-
haps none Of them the correct one. Short
hand is a compromise between speed and
legibility. The beginner is too apt to
pay too exclusive attention to the former,
and should therefore be warned not to
bother with too many contractions.
The length of time it will take lad to
teach himself shorthand, depends, first,
on the sort of a lad he is, and, second, on
the amount OF time he can give to it.
To master shorthand requires above all
things patience and perseverance. A lad
studying alone will generally have to
stick to it hard for couple of years be-
fore he can make it pay. A few may be
able to master it in half the time.
People who advertise that they can
teach shorthand thoroughly in three
months should not be believed.
A knowledge of shorthand is not nee
essary to obtain situation on a newspa-
per, though, other things being equal, a
reporter who can write shorthand is bet
ter equipped for general newspaper work
than a reporter who can not. AS mat
ter of fact there are not more than doz-
en- shorthand writer's regularly employed
on all the great New York dailes together.
In England a reporter must know short
hand. Most of their work consists of
verbatim reporting. Here strictly YER
batim work is not often required except
for great meetings The most successful
reporter is he who can best present the
interesting points of scene or speech in
a readable, attractive shape. The Amer
lean public does not care much for mere
verbiage.
Expert stenographers who can take
testimony in court often earn handsome
sums. But such experiences is attained
only by years of practice and great nat
ural aptitude for the work. 'Half-way"
stenographers are abundant in New York
who are glad to work for So week, Of
ten less. A stenographer who is compe
tent to attend to the correspondence of a
railroad official or some man of large af-
fairs usually gets from $50 to $50 a
week. OF course, if the stenographer is
something more than mere machine
man, and can do other things beside writ
ing shorthand, so much the better are his
chances of making good wages.
There is no mystery about shorthand.
1t does not require any unusual amount
of brains or any extraordinary powers of
memory to acquire it. But it does re-
quire to be stuck to persistently. There
is no recreation in learning it. If only
half known it is treacherous and worse
than useless. Nobody should take it up
unless prepared to make great sacrifices
of time and patience.
