LECTURE ON WOMEN.
Comparison Between the Past and the Pres
ent Age.

Agb.
Miss r. M. Scott delivered lecture in the
large hall Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation last evening called THE Women OF
Virginia"
The lady stated that she had sold about 800
tickets, but only about fifty persons attended
the lecture.
Miss Scott in her discourse compared the
women of the present with those OF the past
She asserted that the women of the present
age wasted more of their time on dresses and
plays and many of them paid much attention
to the praising up of their ancestors, while
the women of the seventeenth century spent
a good deal of time in making receipts, etc.
The women of Queen Anne's time were sell
fish, while those Of Charles /. were gracious
and lady-hke.
Miss Scott spoke for some time, but came
to a stop before she had her subject thor
oughly exhausted.

BLAIR'S REJECTION.
The london Standard Thinks 1t Might Have
Been Expected.
by Gable to the Iimes.l

LONDON, April 90.-The Standard says the
appointment of Mr. Blair was a fragrant breach
of International courtesy and China's action is
a rebuff alike on him and on the United States
Government. The Americans who have been
snubbed will thank neither the President nor
Mr.. Blair Tor placing their country in the
wrong. Mr. Blair has, in his career, said
many unpleasant things about other countries,
and it will be well if his political services can
be rewarded in some other way than by max
ing hlm minister TO foreign court.

weight Of the hay may be less, but
the increase in weight through allow
ing the grass to stand longer is practi-
cally all in indigestible matter; and
why handle a greater weight when
nothing is gained thereby? Further,
believe that through period of
twenty years there will be very little
loss, if any, in the gross weight by
early cutting. When we delay in
cutting, the foliage becomes in curing
so dry and brittle that meof it, and
it is the more valuable part of the
grass or clover, is lost bodily. This
is true also of the chat. Frequently
when clover or grass is quite heavy
it will lodge then cutting is delayed,
and the parts near the ground are
damaged and lost. These losses will
cut down the average of gain in
weight TO very near nothing. When
cutting is delayed until the seeds ma
ture, many are passed intact in the
dung of the animals, and when the
manure is applied to cultivated fields
the result is grass springing up where
it is undesirable. Finally, when we
cut early we can keep our work well
in hand, whereas, if we delay, rains
or other lettering circumstances will
prevent our finishing hay harvest un-
til the grass has become so ripe that
there is a heavy loss.
1t is well to consider that the early
cut grass or clover has higher per-
centage Of the protein compounds, or
muscle>formers. There is a rapid
loss of the albuminoids, and a cor.
responding increase of the compare
tive amount of nitrogen.free mat
ter as the grass or clover passes
beyond the height of bloom. A ma
jority of our most common stock
feeds-rye, wheat and cat straw, corn
and corn slower, &c.-are deficient in
the protein compounds, especially as
feeds for growing or mich animals.
BY cutting our grass or hay early, we
get an ingredient for the ration that
can be used to better advantage in
forming properly balancing ration,
One thing more : If the first crop
of clover is cut early, the second crop,
or seed crop, will be heavier and bet
ter. l cannot understand the preju'
, dice that so many farmers have
against the clover seed crop. ] find
,, it one of the most profitable crops
can grow. In nine years out of ter
clover seed brings good price in thu
spring. One is much more certain o.
getting a good price for it than he il
for corn, wheat, oats, hay or farm
, animals. The demand appears al
ways to be fully equal to the supply
l 1 have always found the local de
D mand fully equal to the local supply
giving a good market at home. Thu
S cost of the clover-seed crop is com
I paratively small. Threshing it is no
D so very disagreeable when the worl
: is rightly managed. 1t does not eX
J, haust the land so much as other crop
: of eqnal value, but of course Lane
: from which much is taken must b.
r well MANFRED, whether the land is il
e grass or cultivated crops. Though i
o is not desired to cut seed crop, if tn
l. crop for hay is cut early, the after
e math for pasture or fertilizing will b
q heavier than if the cutting is delayed
e The increased aftermath will com
d pensate for any loss in the real valu
g of the hay crop. JOHN M. STAIIL.

The following is the experience of
Eddy county and the same facts will
doubtless apply in other places. Says
the Transcript: $50 far as it's action in
this county is concerned, the grand jury
system has proven itself fraud of the
most pronounced type. The petition for
the grand jury was obtained to secure
certain indictments, and it did it's work,
but when the evidence came before the
court the defendant was e1onerated in
twenty minutes after the judges charge
had been completed in the one case, and
in the other the charges of grand larceny
found by the'grand jury we're pronounced
by the states attorney to be insufficient
to secure conviction, the case was dis
missed, and the defendant discharged
without trial. The experience cost the
county about 500, but may be worth all
it cost as encouragement to the unjust
and I'M American system.

AGAIN are we called upon to state
that the articles going the rounds
of the press to the effect that the taxing
officers of the state have decreed the value
of sheep for assessment purposes to be
$3 is utterly without foundation, so far
as any official here is concerned. No
single state officer has any such authori-
ty; none of them have attempted to start
such valuation. The state board of
equalization consists of one member from
each judicial district, the governor, au-
ditor and attorney general, all of whom
know nothing of the proposed rate. The
story doubtless originates from the fact
that at meeting of assessors for one of
the counties not very far from Burleigh,
it was agreed among themselves that
they would fix the valuation at So. We
would suggest to the Valley City papers
and the Dunseith Times that township
and county boards of equalization will be
in existence for the very purpose Of cor
recting any errors Of judgment that may
have crept into the assessors labors.
This is the proper place to look for the
correction OF any excessive appraising, il
my should happen. Do not lay this to
the state officers, for it IS entirely wrong
10 think they know anything about it.

patch to the Reuters telegram company
from Santiago: The surprise and dis
dain have been produced here by false,
calumnious statements which the rebels
publish in the European press. The
rebel congress closed June l. The con-
gress lately elected here works regularly.
1t has approved the acts of the govern
ment and has invested 1t with extraordl-
nary powers and authorized to contract
loans. Perfect order prevails. The
army is we'll disciplined and is actuated
by the great Esprit de corps. The gov
ernu,ent cannot be vanqulshed by the
rebels, who are only able to prolong the
struggle to enrich themselves out of the
nitrate deposits. They have undertaken
no expedition against the government
forces and are completely discredited.
The warships Lynch and Condell have
gone northwest. General Stephan's d.
vision is here, after twice crossing the
snow-covered Andes. The discipline
of the troops is irreproachable. The
British. Frence and German commerce
will be prejudiced by the rebels that re-
main at Tarapaca.

Very rarely has such strain been put

more hopeful than it was in April, when
the great movement of gold had not be-
gun. Within thirty days the largest crop

it dropped from membership in the
