WASHINGTON, June 11.-Senator Colquitt
is justly indignant at having to deny that he
can be held responsible for the confirmation
of Matt Davis. Senator Colquitt held it up
three months, which is remarkable achieve
ment for a minority. What helped most to
confirm Davis was the quasi-indorsement Of

tested against his confirmation. Senator
Colquitt hints that there were other causes

A FAILURE AT CHICAGO.
Robert Warren Downed by Buying
Too Much Wheat

hoDert warren DOwned by Buying
Too Much Wheat.
CHICAGO, June 11.-Shortly before noon
to-day announcement was made on the
board of trade that Robert Warren & Co.,
one Of the Oldest houses in the trade, had
failed. The amount of their liabilities is
unknown, although they are supposed to be
quite heavy. The firm has been long on
both wheat and provisions, and the recent
heavy depreciation in values has had the
effect Of driving them to the wall. The
announcement caused break in articles in
which the firm was interested.
AN INDIVIDUAL OPERATOR.
Mr.. Warren is an individual operator,
using the firm name Of Robert Warren g.
Co. He is said to have owned at least one
third of all the cash wheat in Chicago and
as he has bought all along the recent drop
in prices, the Bank of Montreal, which was
holding wheat as security for money ad-
vanced, is reported to have shut down on
him. Warren said: sit is not true that we
have failed. The whole thing is an offset.
Our assets cover our liabilities. Through
an oversight the deposit of check was
neglected this morning. The matter has
been balanced and our business will go right
on without Interruption

adopted the following resolution:

Resolved, That committee of five be ap-
pointed to confer with the Charleston and Sa-
vannah railway in relation to the Ashley juno
tion, and any other matters in the interest of
Charleston, and especially in relation to having
all trains enter the city, and to put the people
of Charleston on an equal footing with the peo.
pie In any other city.

GROUND OF THE AGITATION.

The complaint is that the Charleston and
Savannah railway does not run its vestibule
trains into Charleston, and hence that this
city is shut out of its portion of the northern
travel in the winter and spring. The rail-
road people claim that they asked and were
refused permission to run their tracks
through the streets Of the city, and were
therefore compelled TO make a crossing of
the run nine miles distant. The matter
will probably end here, as similar resolu-
ton was adopted by the chamber several
wears ago,

A Knockout.

The late Carol. McAulife pugilistic
encounter at San Francisco, under the
auspices of the Athletic Club of that city,
was one of the ferccst prize fights on
record, and the principals were terribly
punished. What surprised their friends,
who took an active part in the affair, was
the speedy recovery of each of the men
from their. sprains and bruises. The
physical energies and the recuperative
force of such men are surprising, but they
are always supplied with the best rcliefs !;
some such perhaps, as was used in the
following case: MIR. E. A. Schellen-
TRIGGER, Pharmacist, Cleveland, Ohio,
writes, that Mr.. Jacob Etzensperger suf-
fered for twenty years from the effects of
sprain, between the elbow and shoulder.
The sprain was caused by clubbing
chestnuts, and about eight or nine years
ago, was relieved by the use of part of
a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, the wonderful
efficacy of which is so we'll known.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Speaking much is Il sign of vanity, for
he that is lavish in words is a niggard in
deeds.
Do not wait for extraordinary oppor.
tunities for good actions, but make use
of common situations.
Conduct is the great profession; be.
havior is perpetually revealing us; what
man does tell us what he is.
The sun, shining forth at evening,
turns the clouds that have hidden him
by day into braided whitcncss or reful-
gent gold.
The man who is most sensible of his
moral weakness will be most likely to
watch against temptations, and keep hirl-
self out of their way.
A more glorious victory cannot be
gained over another man than this, that
when the injury began on his part the
kindness should begin on ours.
Time is painted with lock before
and bald behind, signifying that we
must take time, as we say, by the fore
lock, for when it is once passed there Is
no recalling it.
Happy is the man who so lives that he
can think of death without alarm, and
anticipate for himself a better and hap
pier life when he shall be called to retire
from this earthly scene.
All politeness is owing to liberty. We
polish ono another and rub off our cor
ners and rough sides by sort of ami
cable collision. To restrain this is in
evltabe to bring rust upon mems
understandings.
Let us leave to virtue all her difficult
ties, aud at the same time let us re-
double our efforts to conquer them;
there are many brambles on the road to
heaven, the path which leads thither Is
not strewn with flowers.
Ability is often reinforced by neces-
sity. He that will not suffer himself to
be discouraged by fancied impossibiitics
may sometimes find his abilities lnvig-
grated by the necessity of cxerting them
at short intervals, as the force of cur
rent is increased by the contraction OF
its channel

r1aunE: on sHEEp FEEDING.

We put in ninety-one "mature weth-
ers" weighing seventy-one pounds each;
fed, for grain, corn and oats, mixed at
rate of four bushels corn to one bushel
oats; fed part of the time cornstalks and
hay alternately, and then beanpods and
stalks; always feed by daylight and only
twice day. Keep clean water and salt
by them, and keep well bedded. Result:
Fed the same sheep eighty days, drove
over three miles before weighing; weight,
81 2-3 pounds, an average gain of 81 2-3
pounds per head, and this, too, on a
small class of sheep. Farmers here who
have tried "fattening sheep on straw and
grain alone" do not get near the gain
others around them get who do not feed
it, The sheep require enough more
grain to offset the difference in value be-
tween straw and cornstalks, hay and
beanpods; in tact, doubt very much its
being profitable to feed clean straw under
any circumstances. Feeding timothy is
very Improbable, as sheep do much bet
ter on clover, and the price is 50 per ton
less. Either one is Improbable to feed
exclusively, as cornstalks and beaupods
fed alternately are much cheaper, and
just as good as, if not better than, clear
hay One item of profit feeders consider
important, namely, converting coarse
fodder, straw and grain into the best
manure. Sheep feeding to be profitable
should he crowded to its utmost limit,
but sixty days is less time than sheep can
be made fiji for market, unless they are
well on their grain and in thriving condi-
ton; eighty or ninety days is usually
short enough time to feed for profit

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
WHEAT GAIN BY SPRING N PROVING.

WHEAT GAIN BY SPRING IL PROVING.
We have made repeated trials with
narrowing wheat in spring with d smooth.
ing-harrow, the work being done first as
soon as the ground was sufficiently hard
and dry, and again when about a foot
high. Breaking the hardened crust and
making fine, mellow surface among the
plants had obviously IN excellent effect;
the heads of wheat were longer than us
ual, and the increase was estimated at
five bushels more per acre than unhar-
rowed wheat. The last narrowing was
accompanied with the sowing of clover
seed, which succeeded we'll and produced
good growth At the last narrowing the
harrow was passed over the wheat twice,
the first before sowing the cloyer-seed,
the last after the operation. Any slant
tooth harrow, with numerous fine teeth,
will answer The teeth need not be
sharp. provided they are sufficiently so TO
mellow the crust; generally, however,
the sharper the better.-Ns,o York

BOXES AND CRATES.

Those who ship vegetables and fruit to
city markets arc well aware how much
neat packages help the sale of their con-
tents. As those who have tried it de.
clare, it is often more profitable to take
their truck and fruit to Il small place,
especially if it be manufacturing town,
than to New York or other large markets
1t is often the case that farmer has
bushel or two of peas or some other truck,
or few quarts of currants or other small
fruits, which he purposes to take to the
nearby town to dispose Of Not being
accustomed to market such articles regu,
arly, they present a strange sight as ne
sets out, peck of peas at the bottom OF
a bushel basket that is none too clean;
quart of currants hidden i'll tive-quart
pail that has seen better days; a few early
beets, IN after-thought, are thrown into
the bottom of the wagon, without taking
the trouble to wash or bunch them. Il
can be but little ~onder that the stuff
taken in this miscellaneous manner is
slow of sale Farmers who live near
cities or villages will find it to their in.
tcrest to work into ''farm gardening"
and raise perishablc crops which bring
high prices, if they can find Il near mar
ket. Spinach is such a crop, that an
acre of it. properly managed, brings more
ready cash than comes to the farmer dur.
ing the whole summer. Farmers who
own the land they till should plant an
asparagus bed, or rather field, which, in
the third year, and every spring there
after, will bring in q handsome cash re.
turn. But our object was to suggest that
those farmers who occasionally market
truck, should provide themselves with
sufficient number of crates and boxes, in
which to take their stuff in neat and
attractive manner; these packages. to be
kept in good order, and to be used for no
other purpose whatever. The crate used
by those who ship truck to II distance is
one that holds busheI; some of barrel
capacity being also required. Fora long

A Remarkable Suicide.

One of the most remarkable suicides
recorded in the annals of self-dcstruc-
ton occurred near Chiquct, New Bruins
wick, recently. Before committing the
rash act, the self murderer, W. r. T.
Jones, dug his grave and placed rough
coffin Of his own make at the bottom.
The dirt from the grave was kept from
rolling back into the excavation by
boards held in place by a trigger, to
which a string was attached. Every
thing in readiness, the deliberate Mr..
jones, as subsequent developments re-
vealed, got in the coffin, took dose OF
poison and then pulled the string aud
was buried beneath tons of dirt. 1t is
believed to be one of the most unique
and successful Instances of suicide on

rARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Nut culture is yearly growing more
popular.
The potato that sprouts the easiest
makes the poorest seed. Premature
sprouting is due to weakness.
Paris green and hellebore will destroy
the asparagus beetle. Either should be
used with judgment and care.
Spring is the time to prune hardy
roses. They bloom on the new growth.
Cut out all useless and weakly old
growth.
AS rule, raise your stock instead Of
buying it. You can generally have bet.
ter stock, and you do not run the risk of
introducing disease into your herds or
hocks.
Chrysanthemums need all the light,
sun and air that they can get from the
time the cuttings are rooted until they
are ready to cut again. They want o
rich. warm soil of turfv loan.
Bloating is an evidence of indigestion
and may easily occur when a COW is fed
on turuips in the winter. The feeding
should be changed, and the hay cut and
mixed with bran with some salt until the
food is properly digested. Salt is maid
to digestion.
In transplanting deciduous trees there
must be proper balance maintained be-
tween the roots and the tops. If but few
roots are taken up with them the top
stould be correspondiugly reduced. Care
should be taken that the roots arc not ex-
posed to the air any longer than neces-
sary during the removal.
To grow gooseberries to perfection, the
soil should be well enriched with stable
manure, about the same as for strawberries.
They like plenty of food, and the more
they get the better they thrive. Wefnd
clay loan, well enriched, the best of
all soils for the goo,eberry, but any
soil will do when properly enriched and
cultivated.

THE widow of jefferson Davis, since
his death, signs her name "V. Jefferson
Davis" Many persons doubtless suppose
she has added the name Jefferson to her
Christian name Varina But this is not
the proper explanation. V. is the abbrc-
Walton of vcuve, the French for widow,
and it is the custom of Louisiana, and
some other parts of the South, for widows
to place that letter before the Christian
names of their deceased husbands. V.
Jefferson Davis simply means the widow
of Jefferson Davis.
