vINDIcATION LONG DEFERRED.


After Twenty-Five Years.
WIonIrA, Kan, Oct. 9.--Twenty-two
years ago j, Il, Holmes, Of this city,
who at that time was postmaster, was
convicted In the United States court at
Topeka Of stealing registered letters
and sentenced to ten years in the peni-
tertiary. Eighteen months later Holmes
was released at the intercession of
friends who paid the shortage and
whose pleadings almost convinced
the authorities that he had been
wrongfully convicted. But during all
these years Holmes has been unable to
disprove the charges. Yesterday he
received the proof in letter written
from the Lansing, Mich, penitentiary
by King Price, which completely exon
Grated him. Price was a clerk in the
office at the time and his letter recites
how he lost money by gambling, how
he first robbed the money drawer Of
the post Office and finally took the
registered packages.

For run and jump on the cocks OF hay,
Where the sturdy farmers their sickles WELD
And the dying grasses their perfume yield.
Who can refuse when I've thus appealed:
Sing hey! for the fragrant harvest field
Sing hey! for stroll through the woods to-day:
Where the rabbits and the squirrels with the
shadows play,
Where the fern.fronds tall and the wild flowers
small,
And the murmuring leaves above them all,
Are brightwith the cOlors OF the early foil,
And the brown quail answers its mates sweet
Sing hey! for the woods by the old stone wall
Sing hey! for climb up the hill to-day
, Where the warm brown earth is replaced by
clay,
OF which we made images long ago,
And carried them carefully down below,
TO bake in the oven intended for dough;
They were always thrown out to our infinite

The horizons sight: and the life is good
w hose perfume comes not from silk sachet,
But from waving and opufnt fields of hay;
Whose music IS not the trumpets bray,
But the morning birds tremuOLs roundelay:
Where mankind reverses not night and day:
Where it's tiresome to labor and restful to play
For the meadows and hilltop and woodland

THE HAMBURG BREED.

Small Fowls That Have Quite Record
as Egg Producers.
This breed was originally Spanish
one, hut was introduced into England
in the fourteenth century by way Of
Hamburg; hence the name. A variety
Of this breed, known as the Campine, is
highly esteemed in Belgium The gem
eral characteristics Of these fowls are
rather small size-the cock averaging
from four and a half to five and half
pounds and the hen pound less
blush legs, white ear-lobes, brilliant
double-rose combs ending in an upw ard
curve, and ample tail. The plumage
is exquisitely marked, glossy and very
beautiful; the carriage of the cock is
majestic, and his shape symmetrical.
The breed is too small to be profita-

GOLDEN PENc1I.ED HAMBuHes.

0OAADCN TENC1A.c.O dAMbU1idS.
belong to the family of non-setters, and
possess great merit as egg producers,
laying most of the year except when
moulting, They are considered partic-
ularly good as winter layers.
There are six principal varieties Of
this breed, viz, black, golden penciled,
silver penciled, golden spangled, silver
spangled and white. The black species
is believed to be the result of a cross
with the black Spanish. They are
slightly larger than the other varieties
and breed true to color, which is rich
glossy black throughout. They are also
said to produce larger eggs and more
abundantly, and to be more hardy than
the other Hamburgs
In the golden penciled variety the
ground color of the plumage is golden
bay in the hen and a much darker
shade in the cock. The hens should
have the body penciled across with
several bars OF black, and the hackle
in both sexes should be free from dark
marks. English red caps are said to
have originated from this variety The
silver penciled species are little
larger than the gold, the only other
difference being that the ground color
Of the plumage is a silvery white. In
the former the black penciling is the
same.
Golden and silver spangled Ham burgs
differ from the penciled in the mark
tngs, the parallel bars across the feath-
srs being replaced by one mark at the
end of each feather which forms the
spangle. With the golden spangled
the cocks are little smaller in pro-
portion to the hens than with the other
varieties. The white Hamburg is but
little known.
AS egg producers the Hamburgs rank
with the Leghorns. Being small, the
expense of keeping them is less than
with the larger breeds. The penciled
varieties are somewhat delicate, but the
others are rather hardy. They mature
early and can bear confinement, 1t is,
however, essential that they be kept
clean, as they suffer more than any
other breed from dirt and overcrowd-
ing. The chief objection to them is
their tendency to fly and wander away.
The eggs are white and of a fair size,
