ANIMALS LOVE THE WEED.
A Mare and Colt That VIII Chew All the
Tobacco They Can Got.

~ husEO ana ODIJ AhdI VIII SnO" All the
Tobacco They Can Get.
The claim set forth from time i'm
memorial by tobacco haters, that no
animal would touch the weed, that
even the hog felt above it, seems des-
tined to receive q serious setback. Eu-
gene Russell, farmer living on the
Post Bay road near Lake Ontario, is
the owner of a mare and colt that are
extremely fond of tobacco. The mare
formed the habit long before the birth
of the colt, and in the case of the young
ster the appetite seems to have been in
herited. Three years ago Mr.. Russell
decided that he would cure the mare
of her habit, and to do so he gave her
two pounds of fine cut which she de-
voured with relish. This not fazing
her bit he tried leaf tobacco, of which
he is producer in small way. After
slowing away a quantity of this she
showed symptoms of distress. She
was dizzy, and wanted to lie down and
think over her sins, about as q small
boy might have wanted to do under
similar circumstances. This settled
her, as far as the plain leaf was con-
cerned. She has never tasted it since,
though fine cut touches the spot the
same as ever 1t did.
This was not long previous to the
birth Of the colt, and the little fellow
exhibited almost from the first the
"hankering" for chew. 1t was be-
slowed while he was yet at nurse, and
from that day to this both animals will
follow any stranger all over the lot
| who has the smell of tobacco about his
clothes The colt, strange to say, was
not affected by the mothers aversion
to natural leaf but loves that even bet
ter than fine cut and masticates all of
either that is forthcoming. Both uni
mails are beauties, and no healthier are
to be found in horsehesh In these parts.
Mr.. Russell says he thinks the use Of
tobacco has kept them from having I'M
festival worms, which SO often distress
horses and injurc their digestion. The
mare Is now eleven years Did and the
colt Is over two,

Destructive EARTHQUAKES.
Some OF the Appalling Disasters That
Havo visited Japan.

Some OF the Appalling DlsAster0 That
Have visited Japan.
Earthquakes are OF SO frequent oc-
currence in Japan that they are looked
upon as matter OF course, and unless
they are accompanied with a serious
loss of life and destruction Of property,
the outside world hears little of them.
Some of the earliest Japanese tradi-
tons, says Harper's Weekly, are of ex-
tremely destructive earthquakes, and
many fanciful tales are told of those
which happened previous to the times
Of trustworthy historical records. But
there are many authentic records Of
earthquakes which destroyed whole
cities The most serious of these dis
turbances in recent times was that of
1855, when, in Yedo, which was the
center of the quake, 14,241 dwelling
houses and 1,849 fireproof storehouses
were overturned. In the last days of
the past October there was very seri-
GUS earthquake about Gifu aud Nagoya,
and there was great loss of life and
property. There were slight earth
quakes on Sunday, October 25th,
and these continued with increas-
ing severity until the morning of the
following Friday. During the last two
days of the quake, 1853 distinct
shocks were felt and recorded. At Gifu
the houses tumbled down and caught
fire, and those people not caught in the
ruins fed to the country and the hills;
but in nearly every house it is reported
that one or more unfortunate victim
was caught. How great the loss of life
has been has not yet been reported, but
enough is known to place the loss at
several thousands. When the first
shock was felt at Gifu the up and down
trains on the Takaido railway were
just meeting. The shock was accom-
panied by o. rumbling sound, and the
people on the train thought that there
had been n collision. On looking out of
the windows, however, they saw the
station in ruins, and the water in q
neighboring pond dashing violently
from side to side. AS the shocks con-
tinued, cracks in the earth were OBJ
served two or three feet wide, opening
and closing. The shipping in the vari.
Gus harbors was very much injured, and
one ship which recently arrived at San
Francisco reported that when seventy
miles at sea a violent shock was felt,
the sea was dashed into a foam, the
waves broke over the decks, and the
maintopmast and crosstrees were lost.
These disturbances at sea have been
very common in previous earthquakes,
md several times great ships in Japa.
nese ports have had great difficulty in
wcathering such unaccustomed condi-
tions.

Advice to a Young Man,

A successful young business man
OF Atlanta tells this story: He said
that when he was boy ne had occa-
sion to borrow twonty dollars on n
gold watch, and won't to u bank to &C.
sure the loan. Ho found there n
venerable gentleman whom he had
since come To know as the father OF
Mr.. Darwin Jones. The old gentle
man spoke very kindly to the boy,
told him the bank did not lend money
on watches and referred him to a
pawnbroker. Then Mr.. Jones said
slowly and earnestly, "But if we're
YOU [ would not borrow the money. ;,
"Why?" was asked by tho rmpetuous
youngster, "Because"-- and every
word weighed IA pound--"0eunuse YOU
will have 10 pay it backm The wis
dom OF lifetime was IN that sentence.

STATUS OF THE ALSER-
CONTROVERSY.

Progress of discussion over the
charge Of unsoldierly conduct by Gen.
Alger Immediately preceding dis
charge from the army in September
loj4, has failed TO produce evidence
dissipating the charge. Gen. Alger
evades the issue. Mr.. Dana, who, as
assistant Secretary OF War, surely
knew the facts, would not dare make
SO specific an allegation without
ascertaining in advance whether the
facts are of record and the record is
producible. He affirms that Alger
made application for ten days' leave
OF absence while Sheridan was wait
ing to strike Early, the issue irvolv-
ing, as is we'll known, the fate OF the
country; that the application WAS re-.
fused; that be thee left camp without
leave; that Gen. Sheridan brought
the fact before the department and
recommended that Alger be dishonor-
ably discharged from the service.
Alger in reply does not say whether
or not he ever made application for
leave of absence. That is the hinge.
Instead of doing this be turns aside
and attacks the fame Of Custer.
Rather uncannily, not by direct as
sertion but by inference, be implies
that If the record show anything dis
honorable TO him, Custer is respou-
sible for it. That is, if application for
leave of absence by Alger be on tile it
must have bean forged by Custer.
This is monstrous resort for Alger
without jot or little of proof. Besides,
Mr.. Dana says it WAS General Wesley
Merritt who disapprovsd the appli-
cation. General Merritt has been ap-
pealed to and declined to say any
thing, but referred TO the records.
If he never disapproved such an APP
plicatiou would he hesitate to say so?
Is not Alger entitled to instant denial?
Attempt il made to cover up the ef-
fects Of the charge by recalling Sheri-
dams commentator of Alger. This
is done with utter disregard of facts.
Sheridan does not mention Alger's
name in his memoirs or refer to his
existence after the battle of Boone
vile in July, 1864, while Mr.. Duua
says Alger's application for leave of
absence Was made early in September
OF that year.
Will General Alger not say whether
he did or did not make application
for leave Of absence? II he did not,
another question remains. Was or
WAS he not absent without leave and
did or did not Sheridan recommend
his djshonoraOle discharge? 1t is
curious that Alger alone, of all most
interested, BIS not asked for publica.
ton Of the recoCds. His only query
in this direction has been, who gave
out the recOrds?i Chicago Herald.

night to large and appreciative su-
dience on Parsonage and Home Mission
Societies. In few we'll chosen words
she explained tho workings OF the So

ages in the West. enlarging on the

dress was delivered society was or
gaDizeI with several members. She
was listened to with much ttention,

tested in the work.
