Tho Brave at Home.


The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain Ensembles,
The while beneath the dropping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trembles.
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story
Her heart has shed q drop as dear
As e'er believed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams 20 hear
The bolts OF death around him rattle,
Hath shed Us sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battle.
The mother who ccnceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes q few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With 70 ore but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
SHEDS holy blood as Ger the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor.

Hon. Mackenzie Bowel, minister of Gus

into committee of the whole to consider the
following resolution: A deputation of roll

facturers of iron and steel waited upon the
minister of finance in regard to the existing
tariff on iron and steel. The deputation rep
resented that they have upward of So 900, 900
invested and 2500 operatives employee. I'm
der existing duties they had all prepared and
were satisfied with the duties knowing that
previous deputations had already been here
requesting the duty to be raised. The depu-
tation stated that tney des red that no change
be made. The existing tariff was, on the
whole, satisfactory, and they wished to give
their fullest support to the action of the gov
ernment in allowing the existing tariff to re-
main as it now is.

How Much Seed

The amount of seed necessary to plant
or SOW per acre will vary considerably
with all crops, depending much upon
different conditions. Care should al
ways be taken to secure seed of good
quality. This is an important item in
securing a good even stand. If poor
seed is used, more or less of it will fail to
germinate and in consequence the stand
will be uneven.
With cultivated crops, like corn and
potatoes, it is of course possible to re-
plant, yet this is plan that do not like
to follow, as IN ma ority of cases the
re-plant does not do as we'll as the first
planted.
More seed is required on thin land,
and on land that is not thoroughly pre-
pared and in good tith before planting.
With good seed, the soil well prepared
and good tilth, and care taken to plant
In good season, less seed will be needed
than when less care to provide these es.
sentials is taken. Different seeds re.
ouire different conditions in order tc
terminate. Some will germinate at 9
much lower temperature than others, but
with all kinds of seeds certain degree
of heat and moisture is required and the
nearer these conditions are provided the
better will be the termination. We al
understand that at least q per cent. ot
seeds will not germinate. If under
Nhat might be considered fair conditions.

STANLEY.

The Supposed Movements of the Ex-
plOrer Outlined by Lieut.. Baert.
Lieut.. Baert, who was at Stanley Falls
when Henry NJ. Stanley's letter to Tippoo
Tib was delivered, has arrived at Brussels.
He states that the messengers were closely
questioned and they confirmed the details Of
the letter. Lieut. Baert believes that Stan
ley only reached Wadelai by strenuous ef-
forts and that Emin Pasha relieved Stanley
instead of being relieved and revictualed by
him. Stanley was enabled to reach Murenia
in 50 days, whereas the journey from Yam
bunga to Wadelai occupied 10 mon hs.
Baert adds that fresh letters from Stanley
for England, written wien Stanley de-
parted from Murenia to oreioin Emin, arrived
at Stanley Falls just as he left, and may be
expected shortly. He says that Stanley will
not return either via the Congo or via Zan-
zibar, but that he intends to capture Khar-
toum and wrest the Soudan from the Mahd
Baert expresses confidence in Tippo Tbs
fidelity and says that Tippoo's refusal to ac-
company Stanley was due to his fears of
risking the consequences Of a prolonged alb
sence from Stanley Falls.

The annual reunion and banquet Of the

dress was delivered by Gen. Thomas L. Ro.-
ser, and his remarks were received
with the greatest enthusiasm. He
said it was his purpose to show that the
reason the south was able to
maintain an unequal combat against the
victorious in every battle in Virginia from
first to last, and finally yielded only to
starvation, was the fact, and is still the fact,
that southern gentleman can whip a Puri-

politically disappointed, bloodthirsty Sher-
man and the blatant big-mouthed For
raker that this declaration is absolutely
true. He also said: l am tired of Gettysburg
reunions and "blue and gray" love feasts
which politicians are holding, while old Sher-
man threatens in his ''old shady stories" and
others dare to call the loyal citizens Of the
south TRAITORS" feel that am, and be-
lieve that every brave confederate soldier
living today, is more loyal to the constitu-
tional government of the new United States
than are the rank and file of the Grand
Army of the Republic, so called, and
believe that we are more loyal
to the flag of the new uni n than they. This
banner waving a confederate battle hag)
under which we so gloriously fought is now
the badge of our loyalty to ourselves. This

OUTGOING ADMINISTRATION.
The Plans and Purposes of the Presi-
dent and His Advisers


Mrs. Cleveland has been busily engaged
during the past fortnight in packing away
the accumulation of articles of personal value
that through presents end purchases have
gradually increased during the three years Of
her presence in the white house to rather inn
posing proportions. The supervising and
practical assistance in the work, in addition
to the reading of and replying to an enormous
mail each day, has, nevertheless, not been per-
mitted to interfere with the strict fulhllment
of all the social obiga tions of her position. To
give Just idea of the immense amount Of
labor required TO attend the single item of
personal correspondence, one mornings
budget containing 40 letters will prove suf-
ficient. The president and Mrs Cleveland
will accept an invitation of long standing to
be the guests of the secretary of the treas
ury and Mrs. Fairchild for their brief stay
in Washington after the 4th of March,
where they may enjoy the repose so neces-
sary before going to New York Ii e.
Secretary Bayard and his family of at
tractive daughters will live quietly awhile at
their hospitable home on Highland terr ce,
Washington, previous to their departure for
Delaware.
Secretary and Mrs Fairchild propose to
take their leisure in the breaking up of their
home, as the climate of Washington at this
season agrees better with the latter than the
war and Mrs Endicott will also linger in
their present home after the expiration of
the secretary's present term of Office, and 50
far no plans for the future have been ar
ranged. Mrs. Endicott speaks affectionately
of the pleasant associations of the past four
years in Washington and will probably re-
main until the late spring
The secretary of the interior and his fam lv
have decided to remain until the latter part
of May, when their present lease of house
will expire. Mrs Vilas's yet delicate state of
health prohibits the necessary exertion at
tendantupon moving for the present, so that
for many reasons it is thought best to linger
The secretary of the navy and Mrs. Whit
ney intend 10 follow their usual custom in
respect to their spring plans, and will not go
north until much later in the season, though
the secretary's business cares may require
his personal presence in New York.
The postmaster general and Mrs. Dickin-
son will continue to occupy their attractive
home on street for some weeks after the
arrival of the incoming administration and
until final arrangements can be completed.

A Letter from Mr.. Blaine.

Gov Burleigh of Maine has just received
the following letter from Hon. James G..
Blaine
WASHINGTON, D. c., February %, 1889.
His Excelency E. c. Burleigh, Governor of
Maine:
Dear Sir--I hereby resign my position as
a member of the delegation to represent
Maine at the centennial of the in
auguration of George Washington as
president of the United States. l

nearly or quite all the seeds would
germinate, a much less quantity of seed
would be necessary. But even under
the most favorable conditions there will
be quite anumber that will not germinate,
and when the conditions are unfavorable,
the soil too wet, too dry, too cold, is
rough, cloddy and poorly prepared, the
per cent. of those that will not germiuate
Is considerably increased. So, when the
soil is not well prepared, when it is wet
and cold, the quality of the seed not the
best, or the land thin, more seed should
be used than when the conditions are
more favorable. 1t is poor economy to
to use any but the best seed, the risk of
failure in securing a good stand is too
great. considering the small saving that
can be made. farm, FeLd and StOc5

FOUR NEW STARS IN THE FLAG.
President Signs the Omnibus Terri
tories Bill

The president signed the bill providing for
the admission of North Dakota, South Dako-
ia, Montana and Washington at II o'cock
on the 22d, in presenc' Of some of the friends
of the bill, with quill pen made out of
feather taken from an eagle caught in Da-
kota. When he had signed it, h sealed up
the pen in an envelope, wrote its history on
the outside, and sent it to Representative
Springer of Illinois, chairman of the commit
tee on territories. This conveyed the news
to the friends OF the bill at the capitol who
were of course, delighted. The political
effect of the bill is the one thing most talked
about in Washington upon tEe general sup
position that all four states will return solid
republican delegations to congr IS by the
1st of December next The republicans
breathe sighs of relief as they see their
meagre maiorities increased in both houses
so effectively. They are less anxious now to
have an cary extra session to cure their
ultimate majority in the next house. The
democrats do t admit that all four states
will return republicans. They think that
the democrats having put the bill through
the two houses, and the democratic pres
dent having signed it, the democrats will
have lighting chance at least in Montana
and Washington,

ALL CoLoNELs OR MAJORS.
Liberal Distribution of Titles Among
Innocent Individuals

The Washington Star says: One result Of
the preparations for the Inauguration has
been liberal distribution of military titles
among persons hitherto innocent of such dis
tinction. This has come about partly through
the fact that so many persons with military
titles are connected with the committee that
to be on the safe side persons addressing any
one around headquarters if in doubt usually
begin with colonel" or major" Then per-
sons in other cities writing to the committee
have addressed Chairman Britton as gov
ernor or general, and applied titles of low
er grade to other persons connected with the
committee, One somewhat comical thing
has occurred. Rev. Rush r. Shippen, the
pastor of All Souls Church, makes no pre-
tensions to military fame or to a warlike dis
position He is a member of the reception
committee, and in the list of that committee,
just publ li,hed he is put down as Col R. R.
Shipnen. He sent mild protest to head
quarters,

Farm and Garden Notes.

EdFH anu Udfuth NOtOS'
Have roosts low.
Feed and water stock regularly.
Arrange for good seeds and sires.
Horticulture is an art that is constant
ly growing.
Farmers are not the only ones who
abuse the orchard.
Plant tree at the corner of the house
and it will never live.
The best place for a sick bird is the
bottom of flour barrel, straw being used
for bedding.
Never use kerosene on the legs or
body of a fowl, as it often irritates and
does damage.
New land Is best adapted to the growth
of berries. Constant cultivation also is
q desideratum,
Many birds gradually droop and die
from internal injury due to constant
jumping to the floor from high roosts.
A farmer who is so obstinate that no
persuasion will induce him to try an ex-
pertinent may be driven to 1t by want.
If roup and cholera can be kept out
of the flock, half the battle will be
won. To avoid disease of any kind fol-
low these hints.
Crop bound usually results from the
bird eating long grass, old rags or rope,
or some substance that stops the passage
leading from the crop to the gizzard.
Never have your fowls too fat, and you
will seldom have cases of egg bound,
double yolk eggs, or soft shell eggs.
Hence do not feed largely of grain.
Butter at forty cents pays a good profit
to the producer, but there is wide
range between sixteen cents for poor and
forty cents for good butter, when it
takes as much cream to make one as the
other.
A properly raised sheep between the
ages of three and five makes the best
mutton. Turnips are a cheap crop, and
when fed freely to sheep with their other
feed, make the juiciest and tenderest of
mutton.
The man who feeds ground oats, bran
and corn meal in equal quantities, will
get good many per cent. nearer cor
rect feeding method than is usually
reached, taking our dalrymen ana farm
ers as class.
The cheapest growth is made on young
animals; after the maturing period the
, cost of gain increases rapidly II we
, double the time needed to grow a hog,
, about three .fourths of the food is used
for maintenance, whereas but little more
/ than one-half of the food need go for
: maintenance. BY doubling the time Of
feeding we hslve the profit of feeding,

BITTER, BITING COLD.
Extreme Low Temperature in NearI,
all Parts of the Union.


The cold wave which made its advent in
the northwest on Friday of last week spread
with unusual swiftness over the country,
reaching New England on Saturday morn
ing and producing the lowest temperature
experienced siuce this remarkable winter be-
gan. The extreme cold the mercury how
cred about zero from sunset on Saturday t.
the same time on Sunday was made more
severe by reason of a bitter wind from the
northwest which whirled the dust about
viciously and produced very accen -
uated discomfort The weather map
displays but two storm CEN
tres-one on the Rio Grande and one in Wy
oming.
Snow accompanied the cold in the Middle
States, extensive drifts being reported from
Western New York. The Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg West rn Division was
obliged to suspend operations, and the Mag
ara Falls road was very badly drifted. In
Washington Sunday was by far the coolest
day of the winter
