Arrangement of Lawns.

In the spring Of the year whenever frost
has existed inequalities in the grass will
appear, and Meehan tells in his monthly
for February that all good managers of
lawns, therefore, like to have light roller
go over it as soon as the danger of frost is
over. If there are bare patches not cover
ed by grass sprinkle seed before rolling.
In like manner, in places where weeds have
been taken out, or from any other cause,
considerable inequalities Of the surface
may exist, the earth may be sprinkled be-
fore rolling and the grass seed sown. With
this little care lawns are considerably i'm
proved in beauty. If the grass seems to
be impoverished dressing of any kind of
fertilizer is of great advantage. This NAV
also be applied before rolling.

a Good Woman's Influence.

Are there not women who fill our vase
with wine and roses to the brim, 50 that
the wine runs over and fills the house with
perfume; who inspire US with courtesy;
who unloose our tongues and we speak;
who anoint our eyes, and we see? We
say things we never thought to have said !;
for once our walls of habitual reserve
vanished; and left US at large; we were
children playing with children III a wide
field of flowers. Stop with US we cried, in
these influences for days, for weeks, and
we shall b9 sunny poets, and will write
out in many colored words the romance
that you are. Emerson.

NntritIye Value of Bran.

Chemical analysis shows more nutritiye
value for bran than used to be accorded it,
But it mas another value equally important
in keeping the digestive organs in good
working order, when animals are fed with
dry hay and straw If made into a mash
with warm water ii is one of the best feeds
for COWS to increase the product and value
of milk. If the cow is thin in flesh she
should have some grain in addition, else
the bran alone will have the effect OF run
ming down her condition very rapidly.

Diffusers of Happiness.

Some men move through life as band

out pleasures on every side through the air
to every one, far and near, who can listen.
Some men Fill the air with their presence

yet, like it, fill all the region with the

Keep 10 horses, cows or sheep, with

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Song of the Singer.
RICHARD Z. BARTON.

I saw him once, the while he sat and played
stripping with a shock of yellow hair
His own rare songs, in mirth or sorrow made,
But tender all, and fair.
And as the years rolled by l saw HIM not,
But still his songs full many time | sung,
And thought of him as one who has the lot
To be forever young.
Until at last he stood before mine eyes
An age-bent man, VINO tremhle DER his staff;
My sight rebeled to see such guise,
Ripe Tor an epitaph.
I grieyed with grief that to a death belongs;
How Time Is stern had forgot, in truth
And how that men wax old, whereas their songs
Keep an immortal youth.

WASHINGTON. d. c., June 6.-Attor-
new General Miller's attention was to-
day called to the speech OF John Nj.
Langston in Chicago on the evening OF
June Sd. In the report OF that speech
in the Chicago Mter-Ocedn it is said (:
at was charged by the speaker against
the Attorney General that he had o
instituted a single prosecution against
the perpetrators OF negro outrages IN
the South, although the case OF col
ored railway mail clerk, whoi was taken
from the mail-car and lynched, had been
specially reported to him.
Mr.. Miller said "No such case was
ever reported to the Department OF JUS
tice, and, as / believe. no such lynching
ever occurred. So far as ! am able to
recall the only attack upon q railway
mail-clerk reported to the department
since | became Attorney-General was
the one made on +. q. Blivens. a young
colored man, near the town of Aber-
deem. Miss, on the Goth of March, 1890.
La that case four young men, thinking 1t
was not allowable for colored man to
run as q railway mail-clerk on the IL
linois Central railroad, fired several
shots into the mail-car, none Of
them. however, hitting MIR. Blivens.
| The Unite States district promptly in
stituted an investigation, had the four
Young men indicted three OF them
were convicted on pleas Of not guilty
and one on a plea of guilty, and two
were sentenced to the penitentiary Tor
three years and one to imprisonment for
SIX months and to pay fine OF $500.
| The one who pleaded guilty was
let off easily. If Mr.. Langston
knows of any other case than
this he certainly can and should give
the name, time, and place. The trouble
with Mr.. Langston, and with others who
complain that the Federal Government
does not prosecute wrongs inflicted upon
colored men is that they fail to realize
that under the construction OF the con-
stitutional amendments by the Supreme
| Court. the wrongs complained OF are
generally not violations of Federal rights,
and consequently prosecutions therefor
cannot be sustained in the Federal
courts or by the Federal Government. y
The President and Secretaries Foster
and Rusk attended the Cincinnati-Wash-

nsual official routine. The telegraph
office Oh the upper floor was open for
several hours, and number of kilograms
were received from friends at Minneapo-
lis.

djtion. He manifested no concern what
