How . shrewd Yankee Got . Dead
 Mans Note Csshed.
 For several years past the public has heard of and known rather eccentric lawyer by the name of Ezra Andrews. who has been oscillatng between the professions of lawyer and pcdsgogue, says the Pittsfield (Mass.) Adcsrtisers At the time of this incident Ezra was an inhab.tant of the town of Burnham. practicing lawyer. Finding himself out of business. and being little short of lucre. he perambulated among the business men to get bill to collect K Gilmore. one of tho principal merchants of the town, held a note against sn old man whose home was in tho little town of Canaan. which was outlawed.
 He offered Lawyer Andrews ( hall interest in the debt if he would make a trip over to Canaan and by hook or crook get the note renewed. which was accepted; and. as teams cost money. our hero concluded to go afoot so he wended his way one pleasant June
  home, a distance of five miles lmag- inc the chagrin depicted on the barris- ter's countenance when he learned tho fact that the old gentleman had been dead two years. and he. died pauper on the town farm. He sought the the friendly offices of stone wall. and the cooling influence of shady tree, where he seated himself to think and get the bearings here. urged on by necessity. the mother of inven- tion." Here he studied the situation.
 Shortly. starting up from his reverle. he borrowed a pen and ink and went 10 the cemetery. which was not far distant. Here he traced out the last resting place of ths victim who had escaped his insolence by passing in his earthly checks and was quietly sleeping his last sleep. This arm Of the law seated himself before the marble slab and copied the name in full on to two notes previously made into two doc. uments, one in favor of Gilmore. and the other running to Ezra Andrew ws or bearer. not forgetting 10 add legal costs, mileage, etc, half-dollar being added, lawyer like, for the etc. Un- utr tnt nuiut us PhihtVu !" ~to,ss s-sN>> in small letters. almost unintelligible, he wrote, '.by Ezra Andrews" Then casting a furtivc glance back at the weird spot, he took the home stretch for Burnham. q.
 As he passed tho office of well- known speculator. he entered and ac' costed him with the common assurance of the legal profession that he was short and bad note to sell that he would stand shave on. The latter part of the sentence was distinctly un- derstood by Libby. who asked to see the document which was shown him. He remarked that he did not know the party signing the note; but after Ezra explained that the old gentleman owned and had sure title to his real estate and owned the personal proper ty he had around him. and did not owe one dollar in the world, the note was discounted at fifty cents on the dollar. Later on, when Libby heard the facts. Andrews was called up. and said his statement was correct The little spot. two by six, was the dead mans real es- tate; his winding sheet and coffin hs personal property; death had discharg- ed all his debts.

The Lawyer and His Son.

One of the funny sides of celebra- ted case, in which is involved human liberty or heavy monetary penalty. developed itself in the case of the peo- pie against Sylvester Fitzpatrick on Tuesday. The eloquence of Terry. the profundity of Boucher. or the inclslve- ness of Grady could not impress tho jury. They had to have an ocular demonstration of the steer as specified in the charge against Fitzpatrick. Accordingly. the Judge. jury and law yers. accompanied by the usual ad- junct of small boys. went to see the steer. Among the boys was Mir Couch CTS, and while the Judge looked wise. the jury calm and placid and the law yers knowing. one little fellow said to Mir. Goucher's boy: Whose steer Is thatP'' The boy. in his juvenile inno- cence and candor. said: That's tho steer the man stole who my father is defending" It was loud enough for the Judge. jury and lawyers to hear. Senator Boucher heard it and he rose
 morally and physically rose-and said: Allie. go home" The jury smiled. Fresno (Cak Democrat

He Knew Him.

He was great swell, one of the af- fable. polite kind. who had worked all his life to get the reputation of know ing every body. He prided himself on his tact, and fattered himself he knew the exact degree of famiitary to ex- tend to any given degree of life. He was great card in the best of society. He never made any mistakes; when lie was not quite sure who it might be he relied upon his instinct. He was walking in great state down the street. and a quiet respecsabie-looking man. a man with solid kind of business air about him. was coming up. He re- membered the face; he was shlre he knew him, and he did not want to be impolile The man looked at him as though the recognition was mutual. That was enough When he did any thing he did it with all his heart. He stopped and held out his hand. and his grasp was fullof cordiality. How do you do? havn't seen you for an age. You are looking well. Where are you located now?" Same place-bu.ler at Mrs. McGee' "-San Francisco thronicle.

A Tragedy at Monaco.

A shocking drama is reported from Monaco. According to the accounts received here young Brazilian, named Raoul Herques. fired on his brother and sister-in-law while dining with them at the Villa An ta. where they were living. and. after killing them both, blew out his own brains. None of the servants was in the room at the time, and when. alarmed by the discharge of firearms, they rushed in. they found the trio lying on the floor. quite dead. It seems that for somo years past the two brothers had not been on the best of terms Raoul, the murderer. had worked for some time with Robustiano, who was older than himself. in house of business belong- ing to their father in New York. When the father died Robustiano wound up the concern under very favorable conditions. but for some reason Raoul raised objections. and ever afterward he owed hs brother n grudge. About three months ago he made his appearance at Monaco, where Robustiano and his wife were staying and put up at hotel. He was re- ceived kindly by his relatives. who had him to dinner at the Villa Anita every even ng. but he frequently re- turned to the charge on the subject of the business, and at len gth Robustiano told him that if he would continue to visit at the house he must in future drop all alluslon to the matter. It is assumed that Raoul then and there made up his mind to commit ths ghastly crime. On the following even- ing he called at the usual hour. but during the meal he was gloomy and scarcely spoke. Bes des the two re- volvers with which he shot his brother and sister-in-law as well as himself. a third pistol. together with two daggers. was found on his person. He was full ly prepared to meet any resistance which his unhappy victims might oif- CT. -Parts Dispasch Co London 2eie-

Cheerful Logic.
Kansas City Times.

The Republican party and the colored voter perform together election days, but during 364 days of the year they know little about each other. The negro has never been permitted to have much ac- quaintance with the management of the party and the white Republican has never been free with his friendship toward the negro in the hard grind of living which comes 10 all, white and black alike. If a negro gets in trouble he usually goes to a Democrat for help. and when he is in doubt to Democrat for advice.

BosroN, Mass, April "a near rela-
tive Of MIR. Blaine, residing in this city,
SAYS the reports about the Maine states

saws, is as well as he has been any time III
five years The gentleman who gave this
information thought that Mr. Blaine was
still in the presidential race and would
certainly accept the nomination, especially
II il came spontaneously
A lady residing at the south end, who h
also relative OF the Blaine family, said:
al am in constant communication with
the Blaines, and II Mr. Blaine had been
seriously III must certainly have heard Of
il. The Bla.nes are now at Naples and are
planning 10 come home early in June.
Mr.. Blaine did not go abroad on account
oi his health, but simply for amusement
and recreation. lie has done no literary
work since he has been in Europe. In
the last letter received from the Blaines no
alluson was made To Mr.. Blaines health
other than the casual remark that he did
not seem quite well on the day OF writing.
lie made no complaints Of feeling badly;
however, must say that when Mr.. Blaine
went away he did not look like n healthy
man. Ills face had livid and weary ex-
preston, but this might be due TO the
labon he had gone through. Mr. Blaine
il very nervous man and is apt 10 worry
over his health, especially II some public
man Of about his own aye has passed
away. lie was much distressed over the
loss Of several Of his old political associates
during the year. Ills first question when.
ever meet him is We'll, how do lookY
or do look ill?'
"My first thought on reading Of the
death Of Chief Justice Waite was that Mr..
Blaine would begin Ia worry about his
own health. lie actually seems 90 have
touch Of superstition on the subject and 10

A consider Lble part of this whole number have relatives or friends whose hearts arc set upon securing executive elem ency.n The great American people are always ready to sign petitions ministers, lawyers. prosecuting attor- neys, judges, jurors and everybody else-and the distracted Governor often finds himself in a hard place.
 Governor Seward, of New York, had a painful experience of this kind soon after his inauguration. A well-dressed. lady-like woman came to his house be- seeching pardon for her husband, who, by the way, had been sentenced to State-prison for beating her. She would not take no for an answer, and remained the whole evening, pleading her case again and again. Finally, sec ing the Governor inhexible, she threw herself at his feet. and, with hysterical sobs, declared that she would never rise till he granted her request
 At this point, while Mir. Seward was vainly trying to quiet her, the door opened, and, to the Governors sur prise, there stood his black servant, York Van Allen. overcoat and cap on, and lantern in hand.
 'What do you want, York?'

 Greatly to the Governors relief, the lady, like York. seemed to take it as q matter of course. She rose from her knees, adjusted her bonnet and shawl at the mirror, made her courtesy. and withdrew under the escort of the negro and his lantern. - Youth'S CompdnioH.

SIlOS AND ENSIlAGE.
Results of Experiments at the Illinois AgrI-
 cultural Station.

The Agriculturial Experiment Sta Illinois, Champaign, Ill.,, has issued bulletin showing the experiments made in the construction of a silo and the condition of tho ensilage. The re- port will be sent to persons engaged iu farming, on application.
 We have not the space to quote as largely from the report as we would like, but the conclusions and results of these experiments may be summarized as follows:
 1. The yield was not more than seven tons per acre of green corn, or two and one-sixth tons of corn fodder.
 ?. Itrequired seven men and three teams three days to fill the silo with twenty seven tons of green corn.
 3. Difficulty was found in obtaining evenness of distribution in the silo and consequently, evenness of settling.
 4. Twenty-one pounds of green corn occupied a cubic foot when put into the silo shrunk one-fourth in volume, weighted with fifty pounds to tho square foot.
 5. Size of silo desired may be ap proximated by allowing two cubic fee a day for each animal.
 6. With silo of stone, brick ant cement, the ensilage routed at the sides and top to the extent of one-third the entire amount.
 z. There is evidence for believing that this loss could be considerably ob- viated by building the silo of wood
 s. Thirty-seven head of cattle, fed forty-fve days on moderate allowance of corn and other food, ate the ensilage somewhat better than corn fodder, and thrived very satisfactorily.
 g. Five yearling Shorthorn heifers, averaging S95 pounds each, were given daily forty-eight pounds of corn ensil- and during fifteen days made an aver age gain of forty-nine pounds each.
 10. Analyses of corn ensilage and corn fodder, made from similar corr shows loss in the ensilage of total ni- trogen, albuminoid nitrogen, and solu- ble carbohydrates, and an increased per cent. of non-albuminoid nitrogen, either extract, crude fiber and ash.
 II. The fresh ensilage con tained ono per cent. of organic acid, sixty-fv, volatile, and thirsy-f ve non-volatile.
 l2 Ensilage was found to contair yeast and bacteria fcrmen ts, Neither from a chemical nor from q biograph. teal standpoint is there reason for be heving that the eusilaye is made more digestible by their action.
