We ARE in receipt of copy of
the Nations Crisis" the paper is
sued by Gov. Waite, of Colorado.
It is a genuine populist in politics
and that is all the paper contains,
no news whatever being admitted.
In the issue before us Gen. Weaver
is denounced because of his will
ingness to trade off the populist
party. In recent utterance of
that gentleman Gov. Waite simply
quotes the following scripture.
aAnd Jacob took Abner aside in
the gate to speak to him quietly,
and he said, how art thy, my broth
err And Jacob smote Abner un-
der the fifth rib, that he died."

The national result of such

grace of such an occurrence in this
state during Pennoyer's term is
something that every citizen should
feel grateful for, and there is but
little doubt that had his term con-
tinued one year longer and his
pardoning machine been worked at
the same rate that it was doing the
last six months of his official car
eer, but what lynch law would have
been resorted to in this state.
Whenever people come to the con-
clusion that the end of justice are
being thwarted by corrupt court
or a pardoning executive then is
the time that lynch law comes to
the surface, and as this is some-
thing that is to be greatly deplored,

Two of Lincoln,s Kind Acts.

Among the wounded Bull Run prison
ers returning from Richmond after
many weary months in Libby was a
lad named Will Upham, of the Second
Wisconsin infantry. This boy found his
way into the presence of Lincoln, who
sympathetically drew from him the
story of his adventures in battle and in
prison, and sent him away with an ap-
pointment to West Point, from which
academy Upham was subsequently
graduated with honors. Recently this
protege of Lincoln was chosen governor
of Wisconsin. One day Lincoln was
found counting over and dividing into
parcels small sum in greenbacks for
a negro messenger in the treasury de-
partment who was in hospital with the
smallpox, unable to sign the roll and
draw his pay. The president of the
United States cheerfully undertook to
cut the Gordian knot of red tape. pro-
cure the poor mans wages, and make
the desired disposition thcreof.-Leslie

SOME TIMELY HINTS.

the Winter Months.

Observe Them, If You Want Eggs During
the Winter Months.
1. Get the hens into healthy growing
condition, shrinking, if necessary, to
remove surplus fat, or adding to, il
poor. In the first instance, feed only
on cooked Vegetables and oats or bran;
in the latter give more corn.
2. Make the ration one rich in egg
materials. Let a certain per cent. Of
animal food, meat scraps, meat, meal, or
food of this nature be given daily. One
pint to u pailful of cooked food is
enough.
3. Feed to promote health rather than
destroy, and temper the quantity. A
wooden pail full of cooked vegetables,
or cooked clover, with two quarts of
mixed ground grain worked we'll into
the mass, is breakfast enough for 30
hens. Reduce rather than exceed this,
the sole object being to satisfy the
claims of hunger and promote activity.
Let the night ration be not more than
one quart of mixed grain (whole) to
II hens, be so scattered about the chatf,
leaves, straw or earth, that only a ker-
mel will be found at time. This means
that the hens will scratch busily until
dark, and this it is which promotes
egg building. In the coolest weather,
fill the crops just at night with corn,
for the same reason that you fill the
stove with coal-to keep warm.
4. Three or four times week feed
cooked or chopped clover with ground
grain in the morning mash.
Clover, animal meat, meal or scraps,
wheat. vegetables and oats, if fed as
indicated to hens having comfortable
pens, will insure stesdy egg production

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

1t is the bees reared in the fall that
we have mainly to depend upon during
the winter and spring.
Each colony SHOULD have frame or
two of brood, for 10 is the bees Matched
in the fall that survive the winter.
The objection to leaving honey in the
combs late in the fall is that it is apt to
become dark in color.
If bees are to be wintered in cellars,
care must be taken to have them dry, as
dampness induces disease.
More bees are lost on account of bad
food or none at all than from allother
causes combined, especially in winter.
There is no factor in wintering bees
that is so important as the matter of
food, and it is one that is often neg
lected.
1t is often the case that there is more
or less robbing while feedingin the fail
and it is an almost certain indication
that something is wrong.
All colonies in good condition at this
tiNe should have portion of brood in
the combs, and if this is not the case
something is wrong with the queen.
Quietude is one of the essentials in
successfully wintering bees, whether in
or out of doors. Never disturb them ex-
cept when strictly necessary.
One way of making a nice entrance
during the winter to the hives of bees is
to spread sawdust over considerable
surface in front Of the hive and filling
up level to the entrance.
Mice are very fond of honey and will
soon clean out colony. Before winter
begins, it will be good plan to fix up
the hives so that it will be impossible
for mice to get inst. Louis Republic

FOWLS IN WINTER.

An Excellent Henter and yentilator for
Poultry Houses.
Among the many plans now in use for
warming the poultry house, the heater,
illustrated below, supplies heat and
ventilation, or a supply of fresh, warm
air. Any kind of fiat top stove, OF
even kerosene stove will give sufficient
heat. The size of the stove should de.
pend on the size of the house, but 40 de-
grees is sufficient heat. The illustration
shows a closed box yard square and
an inch deep, made of ordinary sheet
iron. The box or heater is placed on a
small stove, or if legs are attached to
each corner of the heater, n lamp may
be placed under 1t. The cold air comes
in at A, passes through the box, be-
coming heated, and energies at the pipe
b. The cold air pipe is one-half inch
in diameter, and the warm air pipe one
inch. The pipe A should be long enough
to extend through the walls to the out
side, SO as to bring in the pure air. No

How the Gun Was Mounted in tho Mid
die of n Bog.
"The story has never been told in
print of how we turned the first gun on
Charleston the day that city was de-
stroyed," said F. c. Tarr, of Lewiston,
Me-, who served in the Ninth Maine iii
fantry. "At the siege of that city we
were serving under Gen. q. A. Gilmore
in the department of the south. That
was in '63. and few others were on
detail and were near Gen. Gilmore
when we heard him give instructions to
Lieut.. Mcclure, of the First New York
engineers, to mount gun out in the
middle of swamp, the nearest point to
the city that could be reached. Nc
Guire was stubborn, peculiar sort of
a fellow. He demonstrated with the
general and told him that it would be
impossible to mount n gun out in the
middle of that bog. 1t was as bad a
place as could be imagined, and ninety

nine men out of hundred would have
agreed with Mcclure.
But the general was not one of those
ninety-nine. He insisted that the gun
should be mounted.

said, sternly, to the lieutenant.
when Gilmore said thing he meant
it. He was just as stubborn as Nc
Guire.
"Well,' said Mcclure, you give me
90 men IS feet high and I'll wade them
through the mud, which is Is feet deep,
and mount your gun; but I'm not ready
to die myself just yet
"Gilmore got mad and sent him to the
guardhouse. Mcclure stayed there
some time, and the general came to
him and asked him if he had made up
his mind to mount the gun. Mcclure
said he would try.
"'And you won't insist on having
your men is feet high| asked the gen
eral.
THE lieutenant had become sub
missive during his imprisonment, and
he said he would be content with men
of ordinary size. And he finally did sue
ceed in getting the gun into position, al
though it was hard and dangerous
work.
"Planks and logs were laid across the
swamp, and the big gun was drawn out
across them. Then they opened it up
on Charleston and poured shot after
shot into the city. The guns on the firm
ground, way to the rear, didn't do hall
the damage this one of McGuire's did
The ground all around was so soft AMI

discharged it shook several acres. Itell

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A STRANGE WAR STORY.

Tho Peculiar Provision of n Confederate
Lieutenant
"An active fighter through the late
war-a man who kept well up with the
procession of ragedies-naturally wit
messed and experienced many melan-
choly happenings. The four years were
to me an unbroken chain of instances Of
mans inhumanity 10 man andof strange

Icidences. Thirty years of active busi-
ness life have, of course, served to blot
from my memory many of these stir
ring panoramas, but there is one so
weird and so full of melancholy interest
that it will remain with me as long as
life lasts" So spoke an old confederate
soldier as he rested himself in com

Gently.
'How was it, colonel?" inquired sew
eral fellow-listeners in concert.
"Tell us all about it,"
swell, it is a tale that man who de-
sires to preserve intact reputation for
reracity can relate only to his friends
1t is as true as Gospel, but it SO strange
and unaccountable that it sounds like
n reporters fake. 1t occurred way back
in '61. We were camped near Lookout
mountain, Tennessee. 1t was the day
before the battle of Missionary ridge.
In one of the commands was handsome
young lieutenant from Carroll county,
Ga. c;...not for the life of me remem-
lber his name, but remember distinctly
how he looked. He was gallant, spir-
tied, intelligent fellow.
"On the afternoon before the battle
he received box from home. He had a
wife and five children vand each of them
sent some little remembrance. Among
the contents was q neat suit of clothes.
The lieutenant promptly and joyfully
entered his tent and donned his new
suit. When he emerged with it on, his
face wore worried look, and in sur
prise, we asked the cause of his anxiety
Boys said he, you all know that l am
no coward or sentimentalist, but some
how the moment l put this suit on
realized that l would never live to wear
the creases out of it. l am as certain
to be killed in to-morrow's fight as that
tomorrow comes We attempted to
ridicule his notion, but he continued sc
serious in his belief that we desisted anG
left him to figure himself into better
(humor. His mind not having changed
by the next morning, his company in
sisted on his not entering the fight in
the face of his strange conviction. The
captain of his company was absent
however, and the lieutenant positively
refused to stay out, saying an officer
should lead his men whenever ant
wherever his duty called him. At the
head of his company he plunged tina
day into the thickest of the fight. My
company was near his. Almost at the
same instant each of our bodies caugh
a bullet. We were carried 10 the sid,
and placed near each other under tree
1t was evident the young lieutenant'
prediction was soon to be fulfilled

There Must Be "a Division.

The cry is nowadays "Give us tbs
good, all round animal" The Country
Gentleman thinks there is an element
of error in this. Carry out this idca to
an extreme, and you blot out the dis
tinctive characteristics of every breed
of animals existing. AS in the meclan-
ical so in the animal world-there must
be division of labor. We owe all the
improvement of the present day in all
classes of domestic live stock to special
breeding for definite purpose. Let
the breeder of the race horse try to
combine the strength of the Clydesdale
or Shire with the speed of his thorough
bred, and the result is an increase Of
strength. but a reduction Of speed.

to the door and, not finding him there,
