group of mines is now being expert
ed at the instance Of a wealthy Eng
lish syndicate. The gentlemen sent
here for that purpose, are Captains
N. G. Morcom and James Rowe. The
former gentleman has made frequen.
visits to this coast on similar missions.
His first trip to California was in
1852, since which time he has made
80 round.trips across the ocean, visit
ing nearly all the principal mining
camps in North, South and Central
America. He has also visited Aus
trslia in his professional capacity.
Captain Rowe has made several pro.
fessional trips to India and the Brit.
ish colonies, and is quite familiar
with nany of the greatest mines Of
the world. Both gentlemen express
themselves as agreeably surprised ut
finding such excellent roads reaching
here, and at the comfortable manner
in which this camp can be reached.
Their experiences have not always
been so pleasant and mining camps
not often surrounded by so many
comforts"
These gentlemen will probably

The Easter Celebration-A naad,e.s

Easter dawned bright and cheer.
ful. Promptly at the hour of morn.
ing service the church was filled with
worshippers. The service through.
out was most interesting, and earnest
attention was given.
After the sermon the rector made q
short statement regarding the parish
debt. Then an Offering was taken
up to meet it. The result, in cash and
pledges, was $50. This, with what
may confidently be expected from
the entertainment shortly to be given,
will pay the indebtedness. Tho ser.
vice concluded with the celebration
OF tho Holy Communion.
At 2 O'Clock was held the children 9
service. Fully 100 children and quite
a number Of older people were in at.
tendance, aud all were happy. An
Easter offering of $27.5o was made
at this service. This WAS followed by
a service of Holy Baptism.
In the evening, at 8 o'clock, the
church was again filled. This service,
like the other, was spirited and in.
structive. The music from the full
choir reinforced by Mr.. Hughes, Of
the Idahoan mine, and Mr.. w. Hodg.
man, Of Haley, was excellent in all
parts.
The floral decorations, though no,
so profuse as in former years, were
IN good taste and added a pleasant
feature to the occasion. The evening
collection, added to the former ones,
made the sum of $lS1.90-surely q
liberal one for these days.
The rector, Mr.. Osborn, desires US
to tell his thankfulness to al who
furnished flowers and otherwise as.
sisted in the services.

mer's store where she saw DR.. Mckay,
and asked him to 60 up to the house,
about half-a.mile distant, and see if
he could help her husband any.
She then walked to the District
Attorneys Office to give herself up.
At this time no one whom she met
knew of the occurrence; but as she
was crying as she went all who saw
her surmised that her husband had
been beating her again, and she
was ON her way to have him arrested.
The District Attorney received her
statement. She said, in substance,
that her husband began abusing her
again, and that she had shot and pos
sibly killed him. A complaint of
murder was thereupon made out
against her.
THE ONLY WITNESS.
1t is stated that the only witness OF
the affair was boy ~ years old, son
of the parties; and this reporter is
Informed that he told Charles Haupt
and others that his father was abusing
and beating his mother; that he
twice stepped between them to pro.
tect his mother; that his father made
a dash for his mother again, but that
before he could reach her she up
with the rifle and shot him.
THE SAD PROBABILITY.
This version is generallyaccepted as
probably true. Deceased and his
wife lived in almost constant turmoil.
He was much given to strong drink,
and was an exceedingly ugly customer
to meet at such times, as he seemed
then to rely upon his herculean
strength to indulge his bullying dis
position.
About year ago his life policy in
the Equitable was Cancelled on this
account, and only few months ago
he brutally beat his wife-for which
offence he was severely reprimanded
by Probate Judge Lennon, besides
being fined $50.

The Strike at Galveston.

GALVESTON, March 16.-The strike of
the engineers and tiremen on the Atchi-
SOD, Topeka and Santa Fe road has not
yet extended to the Gulf division of that
system, but considerable apprehension
exists among railroad officials here that
tomorrow will witness the ex-
tension of the strike to the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road.
Vice President and General Manager
Webster Snyder, in an interview this
evening, said he had no reason to antici-
pate a spread of the strike to the Gulf
division, but in view of the unexpected
action of the engineers on the main line,
he did not know what to expect. The
men had no grievance that he knew of,
and they had not handled any Burlington
cars in Texas. Orders were issued to-day
to all agents not to accept shipments of
live stock for northern points till further
notice. This looks as though the Texas
officials expect a long fight All trains on
the Santa Fe left as usual to-day, but it is
thought they will scarcely get beyond
Purcell, the end of the Gulf division.

Double Runs for PouItrv

The Importance of double runs for poul.
try is not appreciated 10y the majority of
amateurs who try growing poultry on a
comparatively small scale, and yet these
double runs are Of untold value The OBJ
ject OF the double run is to supply the
birds with fresh ground, and thus prevent
any tainting of it, so prolific a cause of
disease in small yards.
Only one run at time ought 10 be oc-
Cupied by the fowls, and the other may be
proiitably employed with growing vegcta-
bles, which will be found TO thrive aston
ishingly in such r place. One not only
gets the profits Of some quick growing
crops by this practice, but the soil has at
the same time been purified and brought
into good condition for the poultry. If
each run is thus alternated by fowls and
crops, say every four months. the diseases
50 common in confined poultry runs will
be few and far between.
The efficacy of this plan has been
proven To the writer's own satisfaction.
and is well worth a trial. There appears
no reason why farmers should not make
poultry one Of series in n rotation Of
crops, as by this means the land occupied
by the fowls is well manfred, and before
being used again by the birds is purified
by the crops grown thereon.
1t may happen that the small poultry
keeper cannot give these double runs. In
that case good plan would be To lay
down the one run he has in gravel. rs that
can be more easily removed and re-
ucwed than earth, ard then it is not so
readily contaminated by the lgoppiugs as
is soil

Probabilities and Possibilities Of Tariff

speoisl Telegram to the Statesman.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 15.-Congress
is in full blast. but has accomplished but
| little thus far for the public good.
As is well known to the country, the
ommittee on ways and means, or the
d emocratic portion of 1t, have perfected
a bill for the reduction of the tariff This
bill has been laid before the entire com
NIT tee. but not yet reported to the house.
The republicans, under the leadership of
one of its ablest men, Reed, of Maine, Is
pro paridg one: Mr.. RandalI's bill will be
offered as a substitute. When they are all
in then the wool will begin to fly" IN
earnest.
There are so many varieties of opinions
as well as conflicting interests, that 1t
hardly seems that the committee bill, Or
any similar one, will pass the house. Inc
Louisiana men do not like it, on account
of the sugar int rests; the Pennsylvania
men on account of the coal and
mining interests; the sheep men on DC
count of free wool, etc. Then, IN addition
to all this, ARE number of protection dem
ocrats who are so for the sake of protec-
ton. The republican vote is nearly solid
against the proposed bill, and when we
reflect that the democrats have majority
of but eleven, the chance of the passage
of the bill is quite slim. All that the So
called free trade can do, is to make rec
ord on the question and go to the country
with it this fall, and the people left to
decide between the contendiug parties.
The Blair bill, which has passed the
senate, will have hard struggle in the
house, though it will pass by small ma
jority.
We see that many of the papers are
Inclined to poke fun at Major Martin, the
new member from Senator Reagan's dis
trict. This is not fair. He is good and
true man, conscientious and earnest in
all he does. 1t is true that he does not
make long-winded speeches like some of
the rest, nor does he waste the time of the
house in useless and frivolous debates. 1t
would be better for some of the members
and for the country if they did not speak
so much, Some of their speeches" will
come home to roost" some day, and they
will be left out in the cold,
Major Martin did not blow out the
gas; he did not tie the red flannel rag
to his doorknob, nor did he do
any of the foolish things with which he
has been charged. He is an able, indus
trious and honest man, and deserves well
of his people.
Major Sayers, your immediate con-
gresham, is growing in popular favor
every day. As time goes on he improves
with it. No man stands higher in the
estimation of his colleagues. He is a
hard student, quiet, yet energetic and
industrious worker, and accomplishes
much needed legislation.
Hon. John Hancock, of Austin, one of
the ablest statesmen of Texas, was here a
few days since, as was also Colonel
Moody, OF Galveston, and the Hon. ID. G.

gentlemen. Judge Hancock looked bet
ter than we had ever seen him. He was
warmly received by his old comrades as
was also Colonel Giddings.

The treatment which colts receive has a
telling effect upon them when they are
grown up. Injuries and blem;shes are
like the leaves on trees--they increase in
size as the body increases. 1t is an I'M
disputed fact that the condition of the
feet of horse is more or less affected by
the condition Of the ground on which the
feet are treated in any kind of soil. If
they are kept confined to stables and COM
PEELED to stand continually upon hard,
plank floor, the feet will be more or less
injured by it; or if they are constantly
kept on soft loamy ground the feet will be
soft and spongy, and in about as bad con-
dition as if bruised up by being stabbed

Productiveness of Fruit Trees.

at is curious TO note.n says James
Fitz. of Virginia, 1.-THE difference in the
productiyeness of fruit trees, caused by
soil and climate. For instance, the North
ern Spy apple, the Esopus SpitzenburC
and the Baldwin, three of the most popu-
lar varieties of the northern and some of
the middle states, are perfectly worthless
in most parts of Virginia and states
further south. On the other hand our
best sorts, such as the Nicks Jack, Wine
sop, Limbertwig, Grimes golden Buck
ingham, Rawle's Genet and many others
are worthless at the north. 1t is true
that some European varieties, and few
that originated in the northern and mid
die states, are at home in southern and
southwestern soil. 1t is for the amateur
to grow and ties; such and Introduce new
varieties. The farmer has not time to
attempt discoveries in this line, except in
a small way

DehOrning Cattle.

The practice of dehorning cattle is
rapidly increasing, not only in the west
but in some sections of the middle and
eastern states. The chief objection urged
against dehorniug has been the cruelty of
the operation; lesser one is that it de
tracts from the appearance of the animal.
The second objection remains, but the
great majoritybf those who have 'prac-
tCed dehorning contend that ii is no more
painful, if rs painful, "a other operations
generally practiced. However this may
be, it is fairly safe to conclude that de.
horning, carefully performed, is not dan.
gerous operation.
The arguments advanced in favor of de-
horning are; First, the prevention of ter
rble accidents in handling vicious cattle,
especially bulls; second, that the dehorned
cattle can be turned loose in sheds and
stalls without fear Of their iujuring each
other, even if they are more or less
crowded.
The subject has received considerable
attention this season at the farmers in
stitutes and clubs, and If reports Of these
meetings may be relied upon the farmers
and breeders who have experimental in
dehOrning their cattle almost with one ac-
cord favor the practice From these and
other sources it appears that the preferred
age at which TO dehorn is in the second
year of the animals life, and spring is the
season favored. The operation, it is
averred, is more successful in moderate
weather, then in either extremes of heat
or cold
Preparatory to the operation the ami

are sawed of with II suitable saw close to

Best Milk Producing Food.

Professor Stewart, authority on such
matters, says: Neither corn meal nor
bran is the best milk producing food.
With the best clover hay, corn meal
should be added as part of the ration
but with corn fodder, straw or poor hay,
good wheat bran should be added instead
of corn meal Bran will balance poor
fodder better than corn meal. But in
making up the milk ration the feeder
SHOULD seek variety in food. Corn meal
and bran together, are better than either
alone. The kinds of food best IN a milk
ration depend upon how the foods balance
each other"

In Fig. it is desired to produce new
individuals by layering We must first
partly stop, by a wound, the food supply
from the parent, cause the layer to heal
the wound, and at the same time secure
its food from mother earth itself. We do
this by cutting the branch partly in two

the young roots on your layer, and not as
Mt "b,r by cutting on lower side, causing
generally weak roots to start both from
the layer we wish to move and the old
stock, which damages both the mother

vantage otherwise Another quicker,
and about as good way as any, is to give
