STANLEY HEARD FROM.


The Great Explorer Probably Safe-Au-
thentic Reports Received.
LONDON, Dec. ia dispatch from
Zanzibar says: Letters dated Stan
ley Falls August 90, have been delivered
here by Tippoo Tbs men. They state
that a letter was received at Stanley Falls
from Henry NJ. Stanley on August %.
Stanley was then at BoDyala on the Aru.
wimi, where he had arrived on August II.
He had left Emin Pasha eighty-two days
before in perfect health and provided with
plenty Of food. Stanley had returned to
Bonyala for the loads of stores in charge
Of his rear-guard, and intended to leave
ten days later to rejoin Emin.
He reported all the whites in the expedi.
ton as healthy, and said the expedition
wanted nothing.
The West African Telegraph Company
has received the following dispatch from
81 Thomas dated Friday two p. M:
I have just received Information that Henry
M. Stanley. with Emin Pasha, has arrived on
the Aruwimi. The news Is reliable. Further
details will follow.
lSignedl PARSONS. Agent.
In the House of Commons Mr.. Goschen,
acting Government leader, amid cheers
read the telegram from the West African
Telegraph Company from st. Thomas re.
porting the arrival of Stanley and Emin
on the Aruwimi, and stated that the Gov.
eminent had not received any direct off,
cial news confirming this report.
In the Stanley Falls advces it is stated
that Stanley wrote that Emin was in pos.
session of vast stores of ivory and many
oxen and that he had abundance of food.
Stanley intended to leave Bonyala at the
end Of August.
A dispatch to the Times from Zanzibar
says: 'Tippoo Tbs messengers came by
way Of Uuguh, UjjI and Unionembe, with

CONGRESSIONAL RECESS.

Christmas Vacation.

Members of the House Not Sorry Over the
Christmas Vacation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The House adj.
journed yesterday for the Christmas hol.
days and without a vain regret on either
side of the chamber. Some hours were
spent in debate upon the Nicaragua Canal
bill, and that measure was advanced far
enough to get it out of the Com
mittee of the Whole and into the
House, where it will come up as unfinished
business after the holidays. Little interest
was taken. however, in the matter, except
by few members engaged in pushing or
obstructing the bill. Many members left
for home Thursday night and all day they
kept slipping away to catch trains or to
engage in Christmas shopping. At $3.50
yesterday afternoon there was a larger
number of Congressman upon the street
than in the House, and when the House
adjourned ut a little after five O'Clock
there was much less than a quorum
PRESENT. A large number of Western Con-
gressmen will remain here during the re-
cess. OF course all the Eastern members
will go to their homes, and nearly all those
living east of the Mississippi river are on
their way thither. Most of them who have
business will remain until some DAYS after
the meeting of Congress, but it is the gen.
eral practice for members to get back here
to participate in the New Years holiday.

FARM NOTES.

pear-grower of North Carolina claims
to have cured blight in pear trees by cut
ting away the diseased outside bark until
the healthy inner bark is reached.
1t is not always the largest turkey that
sells for the best price. In many cases, if
in good condition, a medium-sized young
turkey will bring the best price per pound.
The winter is the proper time to procure
the necessary garden seeds for the spring.
If delayed until the planting season opens
the seeds may not reach you in time owing
to the demand. This is also an excellent
time for asserting the seeds and selecting
only the best.
One object to be gained by using only
well-rotted and fined manure i'm the gar
den is that there is less danger of weeds
being introduced through the seed. Clean
cultivation is an important item. aud SOW
ing weed-seed through the manure should
always be avoided.
The winter is good time to haul out and
apply manure in the orchard. If the or
chard is not seeded down the soil should be
plowed thoroughly btfors applying. If
well seeded down the better plan is TO have
the manure thoroughly rotted and fined
and then applying broadcast as evenly as
possible over the surface.
Do not leave the corn shocked in the field.
Get it to the barn and husk it out. Every
day that it is exposed Injuries both the
grain and the fodder. This fact is WELL
known to all farmers, vet there is always
portion of the corn left out. The high
winds and the rains beat down the shocks
and sometimes render the whole unfit for
any thing but the manure heap.
One acre Of a farm devoted to garden
crops will provide a large variety. 1t is
important to have the one acre in condi-
ton and have it rich. Pillow it in the fall
and spread plenty of fine manure mot
litter) on it, and then pillow it again early
in the spring. By this method the worms
and grubs will be destroyed and the frost
will pulverize the sod. The manure will
also be rendered more soluble, while the
ground will be warmer in the spring and
better adapted for the early crops.
Fruit trees should not be planted too
close together. The apple tree demands a
rich, moist soil and plenty of room. II
these conditions are furnished, it assumes
large proportions and gives immense
yields. Is it not better to have five thrifty
trees, producing fifty bushels of healthy,
fine fruit, than fifty trees with fifty BUSH
els Of wormy, knotty, gnarly specimens, fit
only for pigs and thieving vaerants3 In
the latter instance the soil is taxed to pro-
duce the wood of fifty trees instead of five.
Many will this year plant nuts in the
spots in which they wish the trees to grow,
and it is not determined question
whether any work done on the farm during
the season will ultimately pay better.
There are many spots on the farm, other
wise useless and unproductive, that might
be made to pay their share of ''the rent"
and there are thousands Of fence corners
that ought to be utilized to the same end.
The nuts always sell for q good price, and
the wood of nut-bearing trees will by and
by be worth as much as the farm is to-day
II spaces are all utilizsd.-Rural World.

STOCK ITEMS.

The best way to ventilate the stables fs
to leave the doors anG windows open dur
ing the day.
Good grades are desirable, but they
should be females. Never use grade male
for breeding purposes. The only way to
improve the stock cheaply is to infuse new
blood by procuring thoroughbred males.
The feeding racks should be constructed
with the view Of saving waste There is
annually large amount of loss by the use
OF racks that permit the animals to pull
the hay out in larger quantities than they
require while eating.
Ii the best steer is retained and espe-
cially prepared for providing beef for the
winter for home use, it will be found much
better than selling off the best and retain
ing the least desirable of the lot The
farmer deserves the choicest for himself.
IL corn-fodder is cut or steamed, or
moistened with boiling water, it will be
found an excellent and agreeable change
OF diet for the cows. Cows that are given
variety Of food occasionally will always
keep in better condition than those that
are fed on a sameness of diet continually.
Nearly 5000 head of cattle have been
shipped into this county this fall. The
natives raised here added to that number
make this county almost the leading one
in the State, at any rate we have the repu-
tation of shipping more cattle out than
any other county.-MinneapOlis (Kan.)
Messenger.
This is the season when farmers can COM
bine and procure choice animals for breed
ing purposes. The quality of the dairy
herds can be improved for an entire COM
munity by single male, and the expense
will bs almost Insignificant compared
with the increased returns from milk and
butter in few seasons.
In the same litter Of pigs some will be
larger than others. Some will fatten
readily, while others Just as thrifty will
grow long and large in frame with less
fat. These last whether male or female,
should be reserved for breeding. Feed
has something to do with this, but indi-
vidual peculiarities of different animals
quite as much.
The vigor and health of hog are to
some extent involved in the strength and
texture of his bones, influencing to some
extent his exercise. Corn meal contain
ing but one-tenth of the lime that should
be found in the growth of pig, it follows
that where pigs have not access to earth,
water or other food containing lime, they
suffer for it-a fault easily remedied by
the use of sifted ashes or bone meal, say
one to two pounds to one hundred pounds
of corn.-Rural Ne,o Yorker.
In my experience, says Prof. Henry,
calf born in fall or winter is worth two
born in the spring for profit. A spring
calf is so young that it gets little good
from pasture the first season, for by the
time it can fight flies successfully and
crop grass enough to really aid IN nourish-
ing it, winter is at hand and it is placed
on dry feed. The fall-born calf comes out
in spring time large enough and sufficient
ly vigorous to fight its own battles, and
gets the benefit of the whole seasons
pasture.

Bears Squeeze the Fat Out of the on
Bulls.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 22.-Bears got in
their work on Change yesterday and ham.
mered oil back into the box. Such scenes
as were witnessed on the floor during the
morning have not occurred before for many
a day, and several fortunes were lost and
made in an incredibly short space of time
As soon as the exchange opened
Henry Fisher commenced to I'M
load, and it seemed that every body fol-
lowed him. The carrying of so much long
oil at last became monotonous, and it was
dumped on the market yesterday to such
an extent as to fairly stupefy outsiders.
1t seemed as though everybody was SELL
ing or at least buying to sell as it
went down. Then each time it recov-
cred slightly there would be good buy.
ing. 1t was the most exciting market
for months and trading was the best
on the floor for many weeks. Over 5000.
600 barrels changed hands before noon
and the aggregate sales were not far from
100000 barrels. The market closed weak
at $50. The causes assigned for the break
were heavy selling in the East and rumors
in regard to making Lima oil certificates.

Local Onfinn Innnerafire.

MACON, Mo-, Dec. 20.-In the circuit
court here yesterday. in the case of the
State against Fred March, charging him
with selling beer in Macon. in violation of
the Wood Local Option law, the defend
ant's attorneys, Colonel Williams, CAPITA n
Guthrie and Judge Hess, filed a demurrer
to the States evidence, on the ground that
the records of the City Council, at their
meeting when the returns were canvassed
of the adoption of the law over one wear
ago, were irregular. Judge Andrew Eli
son sustained the demurrer and instructed
the jury to acquit the defendant. The
Council records were entirely irregular
and did not show the facts as they took
place. The defendants attorneys say the
State can not take an appeal in the case,
and unless the Council records can be
amended, which is not probable, the Local
Option law in Macon, which took effect in
January last, will be imperative.

Notes.

Cream always rises fastest on falling
temperature and very slowly at station
airy temperature. while the separation is
very slight, if at all, when the tempera-
ture of the milk is rising. In a warm
room. without artificial cooling, cream
rises very slowly, and in hot weather,
when the temperature of the room re-
mains high, the separation is more or less
imperfect.
A story is going the rounds Of Georgia
cow that had been lost for few days and
finally found in the top story Of the college
building, whittier she had climbed up a
narrow, winding stairway.
Horseradish is best kept in pit not over
two feet deep, covered with earth and
enough litter to just keep out frost; too
much covering must be carefully avoided.
Much of the work that is always so
pressing in the spring can be lessened by
planning ahead now and getting
every thing in as good shape as possible.
By planning out the work, knowing what
is to be done, and the plan that is to be
followed, much time can be saved.
Dust is great enemy to house plants
and care should be taken to wash off
thoroughly occasionally, in order to give
the plants a chance to breathe.
Hay is scarce at Portland, Ore, and
dealers are asking SIT ton.

Compelled to Pay Duties!

The following story is told at the ex-
pense of Princess Bismarck: The other
day she went to Hamburg to make her
customary household purchases. which
she never allows anybody else to attend
to- Unfortunately, she missed her
train to Friedrichsruhe, and as there
was no other train for two hours, she
told her cOachman to drive her through
the district of the free port. On re-
turning into the town, she was stopped
by custom-house official, who i'm
posed a duty on every one of the ar
ticles she had purchased, and refused
to let her proceed until she had paid
in full.-N. y Post.

Rock Island Diridend.

New YORK. Dec. 2l.-The reports that
had been current for some time in re-
gard to the reduction of the Rock Island
dividend proved correct to-day, when it
was learned that only one per cent would
be paid to the stockholders for the pres
ent quarter. The stock had been consid.
cred one of the safest investment securi-
ties dealt in on the New York Stock Ex-
change but its earning capacity had been
seriously impaired by the paralleling and
extensions of rival lines. The road has
paid per cent and over for ten years
previous to the present year and in 1880
paid a scrip dividend of 100 per cent The
last dividend paid was IA per cent. for the
quarter of September 80.

WAR IN HAYTl,
Cape Hayti Bombarded by Legitime's War
Vessels With Terrible Effect.

Vessels with Terrible Effect.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Captain Kelly, Of
the steamer Saginaw, which arrived yes
terday from Hayti, would not make any
report of Haytien affairs but it is learped
from other sources that the steamer Hay
tien Republic was still in the harbor of
Port au Prince when the Saginaw sailed.
Passengers by the Saginaw report that
on the morning of December four Of
Legitime's men of war-the Dessalines,
Belise, Toussaint L'Ouverteure and one
ogher-bombarded Cape Hayti. They
dropped anchor four or five miles off the
shore, lying broadside on the town, and
first fired blank cartridges to give notice
of their warlike intentions. The foreign
consuls in the city sent a petition to
the commander of the feet asking time to
get out of the city and they We're given
thirty-six hours to evacuate the town.
The people fed into the hills, tax
ing all the possessions they could
conveniently carry, loading their effects
on the backs of mules. The supply of pack
mules being limited to fifty or sixty, the
animals were in great demand and fabu-
lous prices were paid to convey a single
mule load of the more valuable effects of
the wealthy residents to place of safety.
A wealty resident by the name of Morel
paid 500 for the use of a single animal for
the afternoon of the first day on which the
people had to remove their effects. Incl
dents of a similar nature marked the
second day and those of the poorer classes
who were fortunate enough to own a mule
preferred renting it out TO using the animal
to save their own goods.
Shortly altar davhroot IN tho eocond
day the Haytien officers trained their guns
on the town a nd the bombardment COM
menced. Operations. We're begun at this
early hour because favoring tide ena-
bled the four vessels to lay broadside to
the town. The Toussaint fred the first
shot, which went whistling through the
air and buried itself in the sand on the
beach just in front Of the frail houses Of
the poorer natives. The other vessels fol-
lowed suit and fired wildly. In a few min
utes, however, the shots begun to tear
through the town, demolishing the frail
structures. The huts succumbed easily,
but the stone buildings in the central and
more elevated portion Of the town were
not SO easily destroyed, the heavy walls
resisting the fire for several hours.
Despite the warning they had received
to leave the fated town many Of the resi-
dents chung to their habitations. In fact
it was impossible to remove many Of the
sick in the city within the time allotted by
Legitime, and on top Of all of the houses

white flag was placed. but the shot and
shell were no respecters Of the appealing
emblems.
None of the people who arrived yes:er-
day could estimate with any degree Of
accuracy the number killed, but it was
thought that fifteen or twenty at least
succumbed to the deadly fire.
Legitime is by degrees losing the conf
dence of the people and most all the SYM
patty is with the North.
