Court Nosss.

Murty Savage, who attempted to black mail Mr. Edward Heaton of the Imperial Granum Co.,, was placed on trial before Judge Pickett yesterday. Attorney Charles Hamilton appeared for the prisoner. John K. Heatop, son of Mir. Heaton, testified to finding the blsckmailing letter lying on his ofdoe desk when he went to work last Satur- day morning. The letter was then read, the substance of which has already been given. Attorney Hamilton objected to the letter be- ing introduced in evidence, as he pronounced 1t e incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial. No money was asked for and no threat was made. James Carney and Alexander Fuller, jr., testified to finding the letter at the ofice door of the Imperial Granum Go. Superintendent Bollman and Officer Steve MoGann testified to the arrest of Savage. Edward Heaton, president of the Imperial Grauum Co.,, who was the one that Savage tried to blsckmail, testified that this letter and the one he received ten years ago were about the same. He laughed when reference was made to the 'tinstitute" in Trenton that the letter intimated he had been in. He said that everyone knew that he had been in no ''institute." City Attorney Daley argued for the State and Attorney Hamilton for the prisoner. About 8:S0 o'clock Judge Pickett found probable pause against Savage and bound him over to the January term of the Superior court under $3O0 bonds.

A Congressman's Ocean Terror.

The Board of Bureau Chiefs, to which
Secretary Whitney referred Representa-
tive Thomas's plans for a coast defense
vessel, has agreed to report the plans
back to the Secretary with recommen-
dation that they be adopted by the De-
partment. The Board believes the de
sign has great merit.
Mr.. Thomas has had no more expert
ence in naval affairs than he could get
as Chairman of the House Committee.
His business is that of stock raiser, and
his home is in the part of Illinois called
Egypt, where the only water is in wells
and sloughs and not much of that
Nevertheless, he has designed what ex-
perts say will be the finest, tieetest and
most powerful war vessel atloat.
She will be single-turrated monitor,
a heavy armored cruiser, and the only
war ship in the world of variable dis
placement. In peace she will stand seven
and a-half feet out of water, with upper
works of wood which can be removed
on going into action.
When trouble comes she takes in water
and increases her draft three feet, leav-
ing but four feet and the great gun tur-
ret above water This four feet is the
segment of a circle rising from the
waters edge and presenting target at
which the enemy is welcome to fire as
much as he pleases. He can't hit it once
in fifty shots, and if he does hit it no.

inches thick. Her guns will be able to
pierce the armor of the best man-o war
now on the water. Her two ten-lnch
breech-loading guns, turret-protected,
and having an all-round range, will
throw 300-pound pro: ectile ten miles.
The dynamite gun in the bow will throw
nitro gelatine equal to 1000 pounds of
dynamite two miles. She will have a
speed of seventeen knots an hour, and
her name will be the Illinois. Experts
say she will probably be able to destroy

The Farmers Garden.

We trust that the number of those
farmers who earnestly strive to produce
for their families those vegetable prod
ucts, including fruits, that do so much
to add to the pleasures of living in the
country, are increasing every year, and
that farmers regard such provision for
their families as serious duty not to
be omitted for trifling causes. A table
furnished with good, light, homemade
wheaton bread, clean, fine-favored but
ter, pure milk and cream, fresh eggs
and dessert of such choice fruits as the
farmers garden can be made to produce
in this latitude, is good enough for an
ep!cure and is qualified to sustain, re-
pair, nourish strong, healthful body,
fitted to sustain a vigorous, active,
sound mind.
A few garden luxuries may be en-
joyed for much longer season by for
warding their plants in hotbed To
matoes, for Illustration, may be brought
to maturity nearly a month earlier
started in hotbed than when started
in the open ground, after it is suitable
to sow them there, yet, if the farmers
garden has a succession of the better
fruits, strawberries, cherries, raspberries,
blackberrles, currants, peaches, plums,
etc., the family will probably wait very
cheerfully for tomatoes to grow in the
natural way. We value a hotbed, started
about the first of April, when it is much
easier matter to take care of it than in
February, to start some of the most de-
slrable flower plants, even more than
such a vegetable as the tomato. We
want to see the annual flowers come into
bloom as soon as possible after the spring
Towering bulbs, so that the parterre
shall be bright and lovely from the time
frost leaves the ground in spring until
it binds it again in its icy chains in late
autumn.
January is a favorite season with the
commercial men to take inventory of
stock, calculate profits and loss of the
past year, and lay plans for the ensuing
year, and it is a good time for the farmer
to take view of his situation and Law
his plans for the active campaign of the
year. If he be wise man, as we'll as a
judicious farmer, we are quite certain he
will have a garden in which he will
grow such vegetables as he and his
family like and will have fruit garden
in which will be a liberal patch of all the
berries that grow so readily in this
climate. All this will require fore
thought, care, labor: and what better
compensates labor than to see those YOU
love best of all this world enjoying at
every meal. three times a day. the

The Horses Muddy Feet.

When the horse after working is
brought to the stable TO feed or rest
with mud on feet and legs, If he IS not
hot and the weather be warm, the legs
and feet may be immediately washed
with moderately cold water. and then
rubbed dry. But if the weather be cold,
warm water ought to be used for the
washing, and after rubbing dry thick
flannel cloth be wound around each
limb, and kept there until II becomes
warm, and no moisture left remaining.
The cloth may then be taken off, and
and there will be no danger of stiffness
or rheumatism following, which is likely
to be the case unless this precaution be
used. For want of it, many horse Is
made lame and the owner remains tgnO-
rant of the cause. If there be but little
mud adhering on the outside of the fet-
lock it may be left there to dry without
injury before being rubbed otf.-Ne0

Hot Red Heated nv Hot Water.

Those who find it dill cult to obtain
manure for their hot bed, can in various
ways obtain the heat by hot water. For
example, they can erect their beds per-
manently with brick sides, and have
them in all respects the same as miniature
greenhouses.
The following is the simplest method
we know of, and any ingenious work
man can put it together. 1t is the
method used by Milwaukee amateur,
as given by a correspondent of the
american FL0r.st:
''The bed is situated about thirty feet
north of the house, and is forty feet long
by four in width; the basement of this
house is heated by a coal stove. For
this stove he made a small coil Of gas
pipe, which he can put in or take out as
easily as he would tea kettle. From
this coil he ran two-lnch pipes under the
ground, we'll covered, to the hot bed,
and then branched each pipe into two,
running them the whole length of the
bed, and connected them at the upper
end, where he placed an expansion tank,
consisting of COMMON wooden pail.
1t is simply perfect hot water system
on a small scale, consisting of two flows
and two return pipes, all one inch.
These pipes are all sunk one foot deep.
In the fall the sashes were put on, and
then it was left to freeze, the pipes, Of
course, being empty. ON the first Of
March he made connections, and started
firing, and though the frost was four
feet deep, in four days the bed was ready
for the seed. The result was that Mr..
G. had a crop of early vegetables that
could not easily be beaten.-NelO York

PrOnagatiOn OF Oysters.

The French method of propagation
consists in suspending tiles in the water
during the spawning season. The young
oysters cling very closely to these tiles.
The tiles are coated with plaster, and
after the young oysters have set upon the
plaster the tiles are taken up, the plaster
is separated from the tiles with knives,
and the tiles are used for thenext spawn
ing season. The plaster holding the set
is then planted, and the young oysters
cultivated. The French method is much
more troublesome and expensive and ex-
pensive than that in use in Long Island
Sound. Our refuse oyster shells, Gin
ders, ETC. serve as collectors instead of
tiles, and the results are splendid. -New

Improved Oxen.

At the fifteenth annual meeting of the

Professor McClain IN his address of well

time farm team that may be interesting
to the farmer boy of to-day. He said:
eff, when I had the honor of being a
boy on the farm, it had been suggested
to me that there would be in time in this
State an association such as this, should

in which it might work to good advan-
tage, and especially to the advantage of
