Another Large Appropriation Secured fc

Another Large Appropriation Secured for
Typographical Surveys
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Director of the
Geological Survey Powell has again
triumphed over the irrigation men. He has
secured an appropriation OF $500, 600 for his
surveys and the irrigation agtators get
nothing. Cannon. Chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee, is q particular friend
of Powell. and always sees that he gets q
handsome appropriation, despite expert
testimony showing that PowelPs Topographic
cal surveys cannot be completed in ten
years time and will be of little value in
irrigation work. Senator Stewart and his
followers say that Typographical surveys
are not essential to the prosecution of irri-
CATION work, and that Powell diyerts the
money appropriated for irrigation and irri :
cation surveys and uses it in his Topographic
cal works.

The Minister on the Farm.

Amid the toughest rural scenes
would | have every American pastor
spend his summer, all through until the
month of September. Congregations
would be advantaged by it if for a few
weeks of every year they would allow
their pastors little farm life. Three
weeks at Il fashionable watering place
will not do the work There is not
enough salts and sulphur in all the
springs to overcome the tight shoes,
and the uncomfortable gloves, and the
late hours, and the high living, and the
dresses economical at the neck. Rather
turn us out to physical work.
A sharp hoe will hack to pieces all
your dyspepsia. A pruning knife will
cut off the excressences of your disposi-
ton. The dash of the shower that
vets you to the skin will cool your
spirit for ecclesiastical strife. Daily
swinging of the ak will tone up your
nerves Tralnping down the hay as it
is tossed into the NOV will tread into
forgetfulness your little perplexities. In
the wake of the plow you may pick up
strength with which to battle public
iniquity. Neighbors looking over the
fence may think we are only wedding
canteloupes, or splitting rails, or husk-
ing corn, when we are rebuilding our
strength. enkindling our spirits, purify
ing our theology, and blessing our
souls. DIR. Talmage in Ladies Home

In reference to the appointment of
a successor to Secretary Proctor Ben
Abou in the N. Y. Press says:
"Following close on the visit of
General Proctor, Secretary of War,
to New York l hear rumors that the
Presidents choice for successor to
the Secretary when he takes his posi-
ton as Senator from Vermont, in
December, lies at the present time
between ex-senator P. G. Cheney of
New Hampshire and General Lewis
A. Grant, who is first assistant Sec
retary of War at the present time. If
the President goes to New England
for a new Secretary he could not
make better choice than Senator
Cheney, whose executive ability is of
the highest order. He could not go
amss either in selecting General
Grant, whose experience as assistant
Secretary has given him the fullest
and widest knowledge of the duties
of the Secretaryship."

ters writthn by Gen. w. T. sherman
to one of his young daughters, be-
tween the years 1859 and 1865 and
covering mostof the important events
of the war of secession. These let
tiers present graphic pictures Of a
great soldier amid some of the stirring
scenes in which he was giant figure,
and in them the patriotic spirit of the
Federal general is seen to have been
most attractively tempered by a
strong affection for the Southern peo-
pie. The fraternal feeling which
glows in these letters is in refreshing
contrast to the sectional bitterness
which characterized the period, and
they will constitute an interesting
and important contribution to the lit

study that of sea birds is not to be
overlooked. Purely scientific considera-

because it often happens that the only

gulls and terms. Without the gannet
mackerelers could not tell where the
fish were, and the little sea goose,
