Mr.. Reuben T. Keene, recently had mar
row escape from drowning at Southwest Har-
Dor He was crossing the harbor on the ice
and when nearly ashore, but on portion of
the ice that had frozen over the night pre-
vious, broke through. BY keeping perfectly
still he kept his head above water until help
arrived. A boat was soon hauled abreast on
the shore and launched and in few minutes
he was got ashore with considerable difficulty
after having been in the water twenty min
utes. He could not have held on much
longer as the thin ice was settling and the
water flowing on him.
1t is reported that in the recent fog several
persons got lost on the ice between Jordan's
River and Salisbury Cove. One man wan
dered around nearly all night and at one time
came near driving onto thin ice.

OF the many facts rs to the growth of
Southern protected industries, during
these seven years of marvellous material
development, one only may serve to show
why the agricultural interests of the South
have been so wonderfully prosperous. The
cotton spindles of that region have exactly
doubled in number and the value of the
cotton products has risen from s2l 900 900.
In 1850, to 81, 900 900, in lSs1 -.
These facts and the lessons are rapidly
imparting to Southern minds plainly
enough indicate the task imposed on Wat
terson, Mills. Morgan. Carlisle. and Cleve-
land, in their plan to hold the political
South solid on the lines of Free Trade by
commercial alliance with England. 1t
Is immensely for the material welfare of
the South that 1t should raise corn and
wheat and build up manufactures, and
thus the real interests of the cotton rails
ers are best promoted. Only doctrinaires
and demagogues take take the the contrary
view.

Judge Yves; Of Ohio Still for Blaine.

SPRINGFIELD. ONO, Feb. ID. - Judge
William West of Bellefontaine, the blind
orator, who named Blaine at Chicago in 1854
to-day said that he had not get had time to
weigh the letter in all its meanings. and
while he was prepared 10 say little, he did
not consider Mr.. Blaine all powerful; that
he could not foretell that his name would
not 90 before the next convention. He be-
lieved it would be impossible TO prevent it.
His idea was that as with one voice the con.
vention would name Mr.. Blaine and there
was no clause in the letter which stated thai
under the circumstances Blaine would pos
lively decline The letter, he thought, re-
lieved many politicians in Ohio, who were
ardent admirers of Sherman, but he believed
Blaine should be the next nominee.

Justice Harlan's High Praise.

Justice Harlan, Of the Supreme Court. re-
CARDS the letter as an expression of Mr..
Baine's lofty patriotism and his devotion to
the Republican party, and an evidence that
he does not want to do anything except what
he believes will be for the best interest of the
party and the country. He will not be a
candidate if he is TO be fought by any ele
ment of the party. Justice Harlan did not
think that the withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine
would make any difference with the Mug
wump leaders, who will oppose the Republic
can candidate, whoever he may be, because
they are Free Traders. Judge Harlan ap-
peared inclined to the opinion that the party
NAV demand that Mr.. Blaine shall reconsider

overrressure In the Schools.

think il is an unfortunate fact that
our public school system is not elastic
enough to mold itself to the needs of
the individual. Grades are a necessity
in it, and grades must be quite rigidly
fixed. But | think that the parents can
mold the system so that there shall he no
overpreSsure. A great source Of trouble
is that the parents often positively en-
courage the pressure. A mother brought
to me her daughter, a shamefully over
worked high school scholar; no exercise,
except the walk to and from school. If
this mother takes my advice, and sends
word to the teacher, my daughter is
not going to stand at the head Of her
class any more; if necessary, she viii be
honestly and healthily at the foot" the
teacher may reply, Then she cannot
graduate and have a diploma" Then
the mother must mold the public school
system to her daughters needs, and say,
''Then she will not graduate. am con-
tent TO have it So" Perhaps she will
not say this, for parental pride is n
cause of the o~verpressure.
Another cause is parental ~laziness. 1t
is easy TO keep a boy employed even
ings by compelling him to stay at home
and study his lessons. Otherwise he
must either be allowed TO choose his
W amusement, in the house or out Of
it (Which, Of course, is not the best
thing, OF the parents must have him on
their minds, and provide amusements for
him, or at least have an oversight of his
recreations, which is a trouble. In prac-
tice, too, many parents either let their
children roam the streets at night, or beg
the teacher to give their children enough
to do, so that they must have some les
sons to occupy their evenings e p.

Fishing for n Cows Cud.

There is great excitement on the place
when a cow loses her cud, said the old
farmer. 1.-The boys run as fast as they
can for the COW doctor, and we all turn
10 and get things ready for him. The
cow stands with her head down and neck
stretched out, and is altogether the most
woe BECOME animal you ever saw"
What will happen if she doesn't find
the cud?
''She will starve 10 death. You see a
COW has four stomachs, and what she
eats through the day goes into the first
one. And at night she brings up some
of the food from the first stomach and
masticates it. This is called chewing the
cud. After she has done this, il goes tc
the second stomach and is digested. II
she loses her cud, she cant pass the food
from the first stomach to the second, and
is bound to starve.
When the doctor arrives he slaps the
cows sides. twists her tail and looks In
her mouth. Then he calls for a piece oi
salt Goldfish and puts it in her mouth. il
that fails 10 bring the cud he rubs hel
throat and calls for slippery elm. III,
puts a wad of it into her jaw and tries L
get her to chew. That failing, he tries I
bunch Of grass and a wad Of willow
leaves. If all fail, a live frog is brought
and started down the cows throat. Thii
never fails. The COW gives a heaye wher

Journalism in New York.

lnNfact. journalism in New York isnot
much in the hands of the elders. There
are comparatively few men engaged in
the profession who have passed the fifth
eth mile post. From Sj To As are the
usual ages, and go through any Of the
shabby, dingy little barns and rat holes
that serve as offices for the newspapers
and you will rarely see a gray head in
the1p. What becomes Of the old Journal
lists Is almost as much Of a problem as
what becomes Of the old moons or the
lost pins. 1t is the necessity of the pro-
fession that makes it 50. The first need
is 10 keep i'm warm and intimate touch
with the times. and most men harden
into set opinions and their impressions
crystalline after so; they get out Of SYM
pathy with the new and rising generation
and make way for younger men who un-
derstand the situation better, That part
Of the proposition is simple enough, but

Texas Rangers as Cavalrymen.

When the war broke out. we of the
south placed great reliance on the Texas
rangers to furnish us with magnificent
cavalry. and the same belief pervaded the
north, where they were greatly dreaded.
But the experience of a few months
proved that as cavalry they were utterly
worthless, and this because they did not
know how to ride. This statement will
doubtless appear most extraordinary, but
those acquainted with the subject will
fully bear me out in 1t.
The Texas rangers were perfectly at
home il. the saddle, could ride the widest
horse with ease, and as far as sticking ON
went, were probably the best horsemen
in the world. But in spite Of this they
were about the worst cavalrymen imagin-
able, because they could not he made to

Had the armies possessed four or five
horses TO every cavalryman, the Texas
rangers would have been unsurpassed,
but with only n horse to a man they
soon became nothing but ar incum-
brance. As the wal went on they became
most effective troops, but not until they
had ceased to be cowboys and learned t.

they were excellent, but as long as they re

RATlONS AT FORT RENO.
A~rapahoes and C~heyennes at the Govern
ment Commissary Building.

Arapahoes and Cheyennes at the Govern
ment Commissary Building.
Ration day at Fort Reno presents an
exciting scene. There are 31S families of
Arapahoes, containing $50 men, sos
women and LIE children, OF a total of
2,400 persons. OF Cheyennes there are
73s families, containing 913 men, 1,061
women and 2,913 children-a total Of
4,2s7 Cheyenne men, women and chill
dren. These 6,6s7 Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe Indians are all fed and clothed by the
government, each family of six receiving
per week six and a half pounds Of coffee.
two and a quarter pounds Of sugar and
eight pounds of -four, in add.
tion to beef. The government COM
missary building is within a stones
throw of the Canadian river.
Thither every Monday morning the
hungry Indians crowd for their weekly
supply Of food. Each band Of forty-five
elects a yepresents i've, who is given a
ticket numbered from n to fourteen.
This representative presents his ticket
every Monday morning, the supply agent
punches one Of the numbers and gives
the bearer his coffee, sugar and flour, and
an order for n beef. At the end Of the
quarter, when the fourteen numbers are
all punched. another ticket is issued.
Let us follow the chief sfter he has
had his ticket punched and received an
order for a beef. His eyes glitter, his
nnstrils expand, his painted face looks
more horrible than ever. The other men
Of the band leap on their horses. They
ride TO the stock pen; the agent takes the
order and turns over to the chief a bull
or an OK. The poor brute leaves the pen
dazed-copfused; in a moment confusion
gives way to wild terror. The Indian
bucks, horrible in their brilliant paints,
give vent to a series of unearthly yells,
and begin a chase that often lasts for
hours. They goad the bull with spears,
run it hither and thither, shouting and
yelling the meanwhile as though they
were mad.
A tlength, tired Of this savage sport, one
of the band fires his rifle and puts an enc
to the poor beasts misery. The bull nc
sooner falls than the braves surround
him, whip out their knives. cut his throat
and drink the warm blood and eat the
warm, raw flesh. They like the hot
blood and flesh, and it is to secure this,
as much as for the excitement, that they
indulge in this wild chase every ration
day at the Reno agency. When theii
gluttonous appetite is satisfied, the
squaws take the remains of the carcas;
and busy themselves picking clean the
bones, while the bucks sleep off the eifecI
Of their orgy. For two or three day;
they gormandize: the rest Of the week.

like a parlor. There is a prevalence of
nautical pictures and %engravings inter

by the fact that nearly every sea captain
makes presents Of all kinds 10 the pilot
that brings his ship into harbor. Monkeys
and parrots are the common gifts, while
now and then a rich rug. a shawl or a
piece Of rare silk is thrown in, The china
that adorns the table is Of every hue and
shape, while the m%antelpieces are decor
ated with the skillful work Of sailor hands,
such as painted shells, whales teeth,
carved images and foreign reeds and
grasses. Especially interesting is the par
lor Of the pilots home. Huge ~engravings
Of ships, steamers and yachts adorn the
walls, while upon the tables and stands
are the photographs Of sea captains and
comrades, Of East Indian princes and
heather bellies. The furniture Is uniyer.
sally expensive and elegant, and all the
interior is arranged in a happy free and
easy style in consonanc with the pilot
life. Pride Of home and family are two
striking characteristics Of all pilots. They
are mover happier than when with theiI
wives and little ones. The pilot's children
are, as n rule, prototypes Of either pap
