JACKSON TO SLAVIN.
The ColOred Boxer Sets Forth His
Claims.


Claims.
CHICAGO. Nov. 9.-At the request of
Peter Jackson, PEARSON" Davies has cx-
tended to Frank p. SIavn the following
offer: Inasmuch as John l.. Sullivan
states that he will not be IN position
to arrange a contest with Frank =.
SlayiE, or any one else, until the eX-
piration of his theatrical contract next
June, and as he would then doubtless
need several months in which to train,
which would make it almost a year
before a match could take place
between them, | desire to say that
l will fight Dir. Siayin to finish under
Marquis of Queensbury rules for a
purse of $4,000. which. | understand,
the California Athletic club will put up,
and l will wager him 2,5C0 that he does
not defeat me, the contest to take place
three or four months from the date of
signing articles. Mr.. Slavin, see, claims
to be heavyweight champion of Aus
tralia, title which won, still hold. and
an open to defend against all corners.
If he can defeat me he will honestly be
entitled TO what he now claims, and be
iii better position TO meet Mr.. Sullivan
for the worlds championship when the
time comes. | trust Mr.. Slavln will see
the force Of what l say, and favor me
with an early acceptance of my offer.

LONDON. Nov. 9.-Lord Salisbury ere

Mr. GladStOne's utterance at Newcastle

RULES OF CONGRESS.
A Democratic House May Undo
Reeds Work


WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-One of the
subjects likely to cause a struggle in
the house of representatives, after the
election of speaker and the appoint
ment of the various committees. is a
change i'll the rules The Democratic
members will doubtless be unanimously
in favor of change in the rule regard
ing the c0ufiting of quorum by the
speaker. The rule in reference to the
distribution Of the several appropriation
bills among the various committees, i'll
stead of consolidating all the bills in the
committee on appropriations. may also
be changed, but the Democratic mem
berS are divided on that point. as well
as on the rule providing that 100 mem
berS shall constitute a quorum in COM
mittee of the whole. 1t is the impress
sion that the consideration of appr0pri-
alton bills by different committeees has
had tendency to increase the aggre
gate amount of appropriations. while III
the committee OH appropriations has alb
solute control of the preparation of all
the bills covering the annual appropria-
tons. pruning here and there. reduc-
tons and economies may and very
likely will be made in each. Leading
Democrats contend that this is the only
way in which a biilion-doilar record can
be prevented.

brush and curry comb and a broom
corn brush for name and tail.
Taking the brush IN the right hand,
carefully clean the animal head first,
and then, with the comb in the left
and the brush in the right, curry and
brush thoroughly the entire right side,
taking pains to rub the fetlocks and
the entire legs till they are well cleaned.
The left should then be gone over in
the same way. Then carefully clean
the hoofs, and 60 all over the surface
again with the splint brush in order
to create friction and remove the dust.
Follow the brush with a wooden cloth,
rubbing the hair up and then smooth
ing it down.
A healthy horse will feel much bet
ter after this complete grooming and
will enjoy his oats and be ready for
any service required OF him.
A similar process of combing and
rubbing down will be Of great benefit
to the COWS also. It will improve their
health and appearance and very much
lessen the chances Of defl1ng the milk.
The foul condition in which cows are
often allowed to remain is disgrace
to their owner and a source Of peril to
the consumer of their milk Cleanli.
ness is the first law OF the dairy, and
grooming the cows is one Of the ways
of observing it,

OverfeedingHo

For some days past we have been
alarmed at the close proximity of sick
hogs to our own just across the fence.
The neighbor commenced green corn
feeding with over 100 head Of healthy,
vigorous animals. Green corn was
fed literally for about ten days, when
the hogs began to sicken and die. Did
not think they fed too high, but the
81 inion Of Others that observed the
feeding is that too much was given.
We have not been on the farm to
make examinations, but notice that
since thefeed is cut down the hogs are
getting better The we'll hogs were
separated from the sick ones and
moved on to new grounds. How do
we know that they are better? From
the fact that the blzzards have al
most disappeared. 70 our mind this
is a plain case Of overlooking, IN which
danger arises to healthy hogs neat
them. Yet the trouble is pronounced
by some to be cholera. Cholera Of
this kind comes to the front to q
greater extent than it, should, and
caused by men Of a lifetime's expert
sence in hog feeding as well as by the
novices- National 6tockman and

Horses on the Farm.

AS a rule the average farmer has no
business with fancy horses, unless for
breeding purposes. He shonld lit for
sale and sell such horses as will bring
high price and content himself with
cheaper animals for his own use.
He needs horses that are not too good
to do all kinds of farm work in care
of the hired man, and he can't afford
to run the risk Of having tirst-class
horses ruined physically or in dispo-
sition by his mans carelessness or
his ignorance. Neither can the aver
age man afford to have good horses
standing idle when he cannot use
them himself. Besides there is q con-
slant risk of injury that will lessen
the value OF, such horses, or of total
loss by death. | know OF u dozen
cases where farmers refused good
prices for horses, and the ANIMALS
either died or got hurt soon after. It
is strange but q fact that fla beast on
the farm dies it's the most valuable
one. If you can afford the luxury of
fine horses, all right; if not let some
other fellow take the risk and YOU
pocket the cash. National Stockman
and Farmer.

Sunday in Connecticut in 1888.

sunday in Connecticut in 1888.
The following anecdote. which APP
peared in the Salem, Massachusetts,
Mercury Of August IL, 1888, shows
both what kind of stories was pleas
ing to our ancestors, and how Our an
cestors thought q story should be
told.
A gentleman in the State of Connect
icut regularly attended worship on
the Lords day with all his family; on
the Sunday evening he always cate
chised his children and servants ON
the principles of religion, and what
they heard the minister deliver from
the pulpit.
He had a negro man who never
could remember a note of the sermon,
though otherwise smart. At last his
master peremptorily told him he
would on Monday morning tie him up
and fog him.
Next Sunday evening, when inrerro-
gated, he had forgotten all. On Mon
day morning his master executes his
threat SO far AS to tie him up
The fellow then cried out, 80 mas
ter, spare me, for 1 remember some
thing the minister said"
"What is lt?" said the master.
The fellow replied, ''This much may
suffice at this time"
The master was SO pleased with his
wit that he forgave him.
