Spring Dry Goods a! Nsisel { Bros

April brings, with its variations
Of temperature, the first true glimpse
of Spring Styles and Fashions. 1t
not only reminds US of the approach
of Spring, but of what the Ladies
are to wear. OF all things a woman
loves beautiful dress adapted to
the season. The delight and pleas
ure impaired are natural and COM
mendable.
Nothing commands greater attsn-
ton than Dress; it is power more
potent sometimes than even Money
or Fame. The stylish garment,
fashionably made, elegantly fitted
TO the form, of material suitable in
weave or texture, that harmonizes
in color with the complexion of the
wearer, evidences taste and refine
ment.
Every Department in cur estab-
lishment is in complete readiness,
and the time required to look care
fully through each and examine the
stock, will repay every person visit
ing this city. Our display of entire
| ly New and Attractive Spring Goods
| is profuse, and the variety greater
than we have heretofore shown.
Every class of Dress Goods desirable
and to be fashionable this season is
represented.

and Duchess of Edinburgh arrived at
Florence.
A Paris dispatch reports a private
conference between Count Munster.
the German ambassador, and Count
De Logs, to consider a proposal of
the latter for an international tariff
union between France and Germany,
chiefly with view to protect French
and German sgriculturists against
American imports. The question was
being discussed, when Count Mum
ster, who may be regarded as the
mouthpiece of Bismarck, expressed
his entire approval of De Logs propa
ganda, and added: at is high time
to finish with these half-savage
Americans"
Goschen, Chancellor of the Elk
chequer, introduced the budget in
the House of Commons on the 26th.
He estimated surplus of S2,165, 900,
the greatest since 1874, from excess
of revenue and savingin expenditure.
The balance had increased million
and half last year There had been
reduction in the national debt,
during the year, of 97,6O1, 900, the
largest sum paid off in any year since
1872. 1t was proposed to meet ex-
penditures for Notifications of ports
and coaling stations by raising a
loan of f2,300,000 on revenue from
the Suez Canal shares, thus avoiding
placing the slightest burden on tax
payers to meet the Imperial measure.
The Government desired to take a
penny off the income tax.
The United States Consul at Tan
gier has refused to accept the con-
ditions under which the Sultan's
secretary offered to settle the ques-
ton arising from the Imprisonment
at Rabal of a person under the pro
lection of the Consul. 1t is stated
that the terms of the compromise
suggested by the Pasha were that the
Moorish Government would agree to
Immediately liberate the prisoner and
make amends honorably, provided
that at the coming conference at
Madrid the United OtateS would con-
sent to the abrogation of the protege
treaty if other guarantees would be
given that American citizens would
not suffer by the change.
A sensation was caused in Paris by
the issuance of handful, calling a
meeting to be presided over by Gen.
Boulanger and addressed by Roche
fort, Laisant, Boulanger and Niche
lin. In the Deputies the last-named
gentleman declared that the placard
was malicious fabrication, man
euver of the basest kind, against a
man whom his enemies desired to
ruin What is described as the most
ridiculous incident of the affair is a
canard to the effect that Mrs.
Mackay, through Count Dillon as in
termediary, had placed her millions
at Gen. Boulanger's disposal for the
purpose of a coup d'etat. Mrs. Mackay
published an indignant denial, say
ing neither her husband nor herself
ever knew Gen. Boulanger, and had
not seen Count Dillon or any of his
family for over a year.

obsequies, the Blanco party, all pow
erful in Venezuela, would foment an
uprising to secure the consolidation
of the North and South American
countries. In case of hostilities the
Yenezuelans look for support from
other American colonies, and some
hope that President Cleveland will aid
Venezuela by declaring and upholding
the tenets of the Monroe doc
trnie to the letter. The man who
suggested to Blanco this scheme is
Bob Crawford, a Tennessee man, who
while at West Point cheated and
stole and was expelled for theft. He
served some years in a Virginia
prison for robbery, and is the man
who the Turks claim sold Turkish
arms to the Russians at Plevna.
Crawford was then a Pasha in the
Turkish army, and he admits his
treachery at Plevna. Crawford then
went to Chinese Tartary, and tried to
raise an army for an attack on Eu-
rope. His bold scheme failed, and
then he went to Paris, became &C
quainted with Blanco, and proposed
this scheme.

RAISING BARLEY.
A Farmer Gives His Experience in
the Herald, Grafton, Oak.

Iprefer stubble land. plowed in the
spring. Do not SOW earlier than May
% to June 5. Earlier sowing does not
do well in this country. Sow from two
and half to three bushels per acre.
Cut the grain as soon as the head turns
yellow, but be sure and not cut Oh the
green side, as the grain will bleach. Let
the dew get dry in the morning before
starting to cut. Shock in round shocks
and cap well by placing the sheaves cross
ways and spreading well. When draw
ing into the stack lay the cap SheaveS
aside. Do not mix the cap sheaves
with grain in the stack, as the kernel is
sure to be blackened and yellow and
will cause loss of from to 10 cents
per bushel. The grain in the cap
Sheaves is just as good as any for seed
and feeding purposes.
If these instructions are carried out
am positive we can produce sample of
barley that will grade No. in any mar
ket. There is still another advantage
in barley growing. The land the fol-
lowing year will produce a crop of
wheat almost equal to Summer-fallow-
ing, but when wheat Is intended to fol-
low barley crop the land should be
plowed early in the fall, SO as to Sprout
the barley scattered on the ground,
otherwise there will be a mixture of
barley through the wheat the following
year.

final Figures, and the market showed an i'm

carried some of the list 10 the neighborhood
OF point above the opening Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific being most conspic-
uouS. The feverishness then appeared and
prices sagged off, and Missouri Pacific de-
Yeloped considerable weakness, but it was
not until the last hour, when the lowest
prices OF the day generally were made. that
its decline reached anything like notable
proportions. The dullness was intense
throughout after IL o'clock, the only relief
to the stagnation being drop of 7sc in Bur
Nngton followed by recovery of l per. cent
ana an advance of per cent in Rock ISL
and, and one Of 1l2 per cent in Pullman.
Inc decline, however. was accelerated after
delivery hour bnt it was then checked and
prices rallied Immediately, the close being
dull but firm at something better than first
prices. Almost everything is fraction
ally higher this evening, and Pullman
gained 1l2; Northern Pacific preferred, 49,

AN ENGLISH OPINION
OF the American Method of Treat
ing and Growing Hogs.

OF the American Method of Treat
ing and Growing Hogs.
The following from an English paper
in regard to American swine husbandry
may be true of some farmers, but the
number is not large:
The ordinary British farmer knows
but little about swine huSbandry; in
fact, he does not understand how to
manage pigs, and is apt to judge them
by the standard of the few he may have
handled, and seems quite satisfied all
pigs must be alike. His pigs never
made any money, and where, he argues,
could the profit of going largely into
the business; but if we go to coun-
tries whore pig-tarming is understood
and made business of, we
soon begin to think differ
entity. In America, for example,
the pigs are not put away in some back
corner where the sun never shines on
them the year round. No, they are kept
in different style to what we are accus-
toned to seeing them in this country.
The principal buildings on the farm are
the hog pens. The yards and trOughs,
water tanks, shady groves, and fine
clover pastures all belong to the hogs
for their sole use and comfort and proper
management. The cows and horses may
have their places equally complete, but
the corn and milk and all the excite
ment goes to the hogs. The sight of
hundred or two of fine, heavy pigs
almost ready for the market, an equal
number of sh0atS, and SOwS and young
pigs in several yards, pens and pastures,
all growing and multiplying, converting
the cheaply-raised grain and grasses
into valuable meat, would soon convince
the skeptic about the profits of swine
huSbandry.
