SAVED BY A HYMN.

Conductor StilwcIFs Narrow Escape from
Death at ChatswOrth.
Conductor j. w. Stilwell said, while
speaking of the ChatSworth disaster in
which three hundred people were killed
or wounded, that his life was saved by
the familiar hymn Nearer, My God, to
Thee" AS the train approached tho
fatal railway culvert Mr.. Stilwen was
taking up tickets in car in which
there were sixty-two passengers of both
sexes and all ages. In the car were
five young ladies seated in close prox-
unity to each other, and as the train
swept forward in the darkness they
sang the old hymn which is
one of the most plaintive and
touching of musical productions.
One beautiful girl in the first blush of
womanhood sang the verse of the hymn
alone and her companions joined in the
chorus. The hour was so appropriate
for such music that every ear in the car
was turned to catch the refrain, and tho
conductor stopped with his hand on the
knob of tho rear door of the car until
the clear voices of the singers had COM
pleted the chorus. As the last words
died away tho crash came, and fifty
eight living beings in that car were
hurled to eternity. Had he gone out he
would have been creshed between the
rars.-Denver Col News.

platform. He stood firmly. though tho
demagogues of the day Kissed at him
and tried to overthrow him. We must
carry our religion into our politics. But
there are a great many men who are in
favor of taking religion into National
politics who do not see the importance
OF taking - into city politics; as though
man were intelligent about the well
fare of his neighborhood and had no
concern about his own home.
Religion would drive out all the base
personalities from politics. You have
right to discuss mems politics and de-
nounce their political sentiments, or re-
ceive them, as you will; but you have
no right to assail their private. charac-
ter, as is done every autumn. That is
not carrying religion into politics.
Now you can always tell without ask
ing, in any contest what candidate
will vote for. 1t is always for the man
who is most badgered, and most abused,
and most spit upon, and most howled at.
You have right to contest mans po-
litical sentiments; you have no right
for base political purposes to assail his
private moral character.
My subject also impresses me with
the fact that lions can not hurt good
man. No man ever got into worse COM
pany than Daniel got into when he was
thrown into the den. What rare NOR
sal that fair young man would have
been for the monsters! If they had
plunged at him he could not have
climbed into niche beyond the reach
Of fho 4oh ~ fhni
tooth. They came pleased all around
about him, as hunters hounds at the
well-known whistle come bounding tc
his feet
You need not go to Numidia to get
among lions. You all have had them
after You-the lion of financial distress,
the lion of sickness, the lion of persecu-
tion. You saw that lion of financial
panic putting his mouth down to the
earth, and he roared until all the in
surance companies quaked. With his
nostril he scattered the ashes on the
domestic hearth. You have had trial
after trial, misfortune after misfortune,
lion after lion; and yet they have
never hurt you if you put your trust
in God, and they never will hurt you,
They did not hurt Daniel, and they can
not hurt you.
The Persians used to think that spring
rains falling into sea-shells would turn
into pearls; and have to tell you that
the tears of sorrow turn into precious
gems when they drop into Gods bottle.
You need be afraid of nothing, putting
your trust in God. Even death, that
monster lion whose den is the worlds
sepulcher, and who puts his paw down
amid thousands of millions of the dead,
can not alright you.
When in olden times a man was to
get the honors of znighthood, he was
compelled to go fully armed the night
before, among the tombs of the dead,
carrying sort of spear, and then when
the day broke he would come forth,
and, amid the sound of cornet and
great parade, he would get the honors
of knigh thood. And so it will be with
the Christian in the night before
Heaven, as fully armed with spear and
helmet of salvation, he will wait and
watch through the darkness until the
morning dawns, and then he will take
the honOrs of Heaven amid that great
throng with snowy robes, streaming
over seas of sapphire.

There are long strings of hedges two
three and four years old, all over tbe
country, that now do nothing but u.
cumber the land. 1t is next to limos

fore the best thing to do is to utilize II
Here is my plan, and if followed to the.
letter will make satisfactory fence. or
course the plants must be good, stont
and thick enough, say one to the foot
though skips of two feet can be closed
in one years time.
First, trim up the plant with a bush.
knife and cut off four feet from the
ground, leaving the cane as free from
thorns and twigs as possible. Grub tbe
ground on each side, cut all lateral
roots so that the cane can easily be bent
down. After the line has been grpbbed
we'll, take sound posts six feet long and
set one every one hundred feet, digging
holes three feet, and set the post firmly
in the ground with edge of post even
with outside edge of hedge row. Next
stretch tightly one strand Of barbed yTira
and staple it firmly to the post thirtv
inches from the ground, then take the,
small annealed wire, cut into lengths
long enough to bend around ecane and
wire and twist. With wires all cut and
every thing ready, let boy go along
and bend down the cane until the
top of it is just above the wire at an
angle of forty-five degrees, and hold it
until the man ties it, which he should
do in a moments time. To make a pie..
proof fence of this, put two strands Of
wire along next to the ground Eve
inches apart; two burrows made with.a
large pillow, thrown against the hedge
from each side helps greatly to make
the fence turn pigs, and allows the bot
tom wire to be put higher from The
ground. The ground wires should be-
stretched lightly and stapled to the
post, then staple to the cane as.
often as necessary; be sure to
trim the hedge close down to TOP Of.
cane, and each side in May and An
gust. Two men can trim one hundred
rods nicely in two hours. Do not hes
afraid of trimming too closely; you can't
do that The cane that grows from next
the root should be bent back the oppo-
site direction next spring, and end
stuck under the wire or any place that
will hold them down. The growth wants
to be all on top and it must be worked
against. To make the above fence.
available at once, set a stake every two
rods and string strand of barbed wire,
which, with the stake, may be removed
after one or two years. The bitches add
greatly toward making a good fence, and
frequent trimmings make the work
light, and adds greatly to the beauty.

Some Hints in Making Them Slightly and

This is the season of the year for that

OF the stock-farmer's mind, and to have
good ones must also occupy a good deal
of his timo or money. The question as
to the "best fence is still unsettled.
and will ever be, as circumstances and
place make first one kind and then the
other best l am not an advocate for
hedge fences, but where man has one
on his farm along the railroad or high
way, think the best thing to do is to
use it.
The old-style way of cutting down to
make it thickon up has proven very I'M
satisfactory for many reasons. The
patent process that had the rage
through Middle Tennessee and North
Alabama a few years since is a
failure, because in few years
the bent-over portion will die,
or be starved or shaded to death by the
sprout that grows straight up from just
above the root; the dead wood, because
of shade, soon rots, and is easily broken
out by pigs and calves, offers but little
resistance to COWS and none to mules

An ExaESeration.

That any one should take melan-
choly pleasure in exaggeratin9 the
losses Ut cattle in Nevada during the
past winter seems unaccountable, for
they were bad enough in truth, with
out making an attempt to injure the
future prospects of the State by max
ing statements entirely contrary to
the facts.
An article has been going the
rounds Of the press, and has even
been telegraphed to Eastern papers,
which purports to be from T.. b.
Hickey, in which he says he has lost
10000 head of cattle in Humboldt
county, the carcasses being piled up
for miles, and that he is buying all
the cattle he can get in order TO re-
stock his ranges.
Now, in contradiction OF this state
ment We are credibly informed that
T. B. Riokey did not have to exceed
1850 head Of cattle in Humboldt
county last Fall, and that up to a
few weeks since he had not bought d
single head of stock with which to
replenish his ranges, and those who
are in a position to know the facts say
that the story of his immense losses
is wholly untrue. That he, in COM
mon with other cattle men, lost heav-
lily, there is no doubt; but q loss of
10000 head out OF q herd of 1900 is
not probable.
The dispatch, dated at Carson, re-
ports T. B. Hickey as saying: II have
been riding since June 18th over the
ranges" On this subject the Winnie
mucca Silver State says:
1T. B. Hickey has not been in this
county this summer, but Sam Davis
has. L. B. hickey, though doubtless
capable of embellishing yarn, is not
much given to romancing and Sam is.
No cattle man, as T. B. Hickey we'll
knows, would believe that the strong
cattle would be last in stampede.
When snowdrifts are deep enough to
partially cover cattle they may fioun-
der and struggle, but it is impossible
for them to stampede
