HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

There is complaint against the work
done by dehorning clippers and prefer

The balky horse and the swearing
driver are two nuisances where the
horse should have the monopoly. Keep
your temper and in some way get the
horse to think of something else. AS
soon as you do he will go.
Hard roads bang up the feet of the
horse, and it is question if hard roads
are not as wearing on the horse as soft
roads are. But independent of that
hard roads are desirable when they can
be had without too much burden to the
farmer.
The 1,20O-pound hog-and one man
claims to have one-is not desira BILE or

hogs where aggregate weight was TO-

kept until the second year, and that of

Home Market the Best.

What would farm be that did not
contain flock of hens? The eggs are
considered adjuncts to the farm. and
they enter into many of the household
dishes. In estimating the profits from
poultry the eggs and poultry con-
sumed by the family should be given
the same value as though such supplies
were purchased. The family" mar
kets in the United States excel all
others, and no farmer should sell his
eggs and live on something less desir-

the old English ex-champion is in town
today trying to arrange with Frank Dunn
for match with John l.. Sullivan for a
limited number OF rounds. The place will
be in some Eastern city, probably Boston
or New York. III he fails in this he i'll
endeavor 10 arrange for meeting with
the veteran, Mike Donovan, the boxing
instructor. before a big New York ath-
letic club. These two old fellows spared
four interesting rounds in New York
some months ago and did SO well that the
sporting fraternity is more than anxious
to have them box again.
1t is understood that Donovan is very
willing to meet Mace. Failing in this,
Mace will sail for England from New
York on the Campania next Saturday.
Sullivan is going to England next fall
and Mace wishes 10 make arrangements
10 travel with him giving boxing exhibit
tions in the big cities, which lie thinks
would make pot of money for both men.
The Sporting Review announces that
John L. Sullivan and Jem mace have ar
ranged a partnership and will tour Eng

WHERE SILENCE WAS GOLDEN

men have received big fees for making
speeches. but it has remained for Senator
Perkins to receive handsome reward for
preserving golden silence on last Satur.
day. Ex-Congressman Caminetu tele-
eraphed him that something must be
done for the Digger Indians. Senator
Perkins saw the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, who agreed to recommend the
passage OF an amendment 10 the Indian
appropriation bill. VIZ: ''for locating the
Digger Indians in California upon lands
recently purchased for them and for their
subsistence and civilization, and for the
purchase of farming implements, seeds,
and other articles, including the pay of a
practical farmer, $780,"
Mr.. Perkins, in presenting this addition,
offered to make a speech, whereupon
Senator Pettigrew implored the Caiifor-
nian not to do SO. promising to let the
amendment pass if he would desisL Mr..
Perkins then said: "It was my purpose
to explain the provision, but my friend
from South Dakota says to me that if l
do not make speech he will accept the
amendment Therefore 1 am very glad to
yield
The amend dment for the Digger Indians
was then adopted by the Senate.

NEW METHOD or TELEGRAPHy
a Recent Discovery Promises a Speed OF
5000 Kof6s Per Minute Over q
Sinqie Wre.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 21.-Before
the American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers tonight Professor Albert Creho-e
OF Dartsmouth College read a paper de-
scribing a new method of very rapid tele-
graphing by use of alternating currents
which will be developed by him and Lieu
tenant George Owen Sauier of the United
States army. The experiments which re-
suited In the development of the neT
system were made at the United States
Artillery School, Fort Monroe, Va.
The average telegraph operator, sending
messages by The Morse system, can trans
NIT from thirty to forty words per minute.
By the Wheatstone system, where mes
sages are first prepared on a puncher-strip
and then transmitted automatically, a
speed of from $50 TO 200 words per minute
may be attained. BY the new system
promised speed of 30C0 words per minute
may be attained oyer single wire.
AT the same time the wire could be used
1or sending other messages by the ordi-
nary Morse system, or by the quadruple
system, without creating any interference.
IL Is also possible to send two entirely
different messages over the same line at
the same time at the rate of 5000 words
per minute, and in addition these mes
sages could be transmitted to and received
by any number of stations at the same in
stant and recorded automatically. 1t is
necessary TO have the messages prepared
Tor sending on slips of paper, punched
with signals to represent letters in accord
ance with the European modification of
the Morse code.
The general method by which this won.
derful speed is to be accom- plished is by
taking advantage of the pecuiarity of al
ternating currents, in which currents of
opposite polarity succeed eath other with
rapldity varying from 250 TO 400 per
second. Between each pair of these waves
OF current is moment when the wire is
neutral.
By means of simple device these cur
rents may be interrupted, and one or
more wave movements of current omitted.
by noting these Interruptions and their
order messages can be read by the use of
sensitive needle or hashiight.

MOSRY LOSES HIS NERVE.
Strange Collapse of the Guerrilla Chief
tam When Called Upon to Address
Former Comrades.

WASHINGTON, D. G., April 21.-
Colonel John S. Mosby of San Francisco,
the noted guerrilla cbieftain and hero of
many battles lost his nerve when he was
called upon to address the Commonwealth
Club of Richmond, Va, last night. He
had accepted an invitation to address the
club and was there to meet his engage
ment. Many of Mosby's men were pres
ent and were especially anxious to hear
their beloved com mander recount his
thrilling experiences. 1t was also ex-
pected that Colonel Mosby would discuss
his recent letter defending his course in
supporting General Grant for President in
1872.
Colonel Mosby went to the clubhouse at
the appointed time, but he could not be
induced to make his addre g or even TO
enter the room wher, the waiting au-
dIence was assem- bed. When an honr
had been spent in trying 10 coax him to
respond, the exercises opened, and Joseph
Bryan, who is entertaining Colonel Mosby,
made the most graceful excuse possible
for he stage fright of his guest. When
Mr.. Bryan concluded there were loud cal 8
for Mosby, who was in an anteroom, and
he was finally taken by friends and pulled
into the assembly hall. He hid his face
in his hands, ana as soon as the grasp of
his friends was released the fearless fighter
ot thirty five wears ago dashed out OF the
door without explanation and proceeded
to another part of the building, where he
remained until his host took him home.
The incident caused quite a sensation.

ANOTHER REVOLT IN HONDURAS.
The Government Calls Upon Salvador and
Nicaragua TO And IN It's Sup
DreesI0n

NEW YORK; n. Y, April 21.-News of
another revolution in Honduras arrived
to-day on the American fruit-carrying
ship Fo1hall from Puerto Co-tez. The
Foxhall was tied up to the only pier at
Puerto CorteZ. on which the custom house
OF the port Is built, on the night of April
Is, when about forty men armed with
Wlnchesters and carrying boxes came
down TO the pier and asked Captain Leslie
to defer sailing until they found out
whether or not the re bel forces under Gen.
eral Desoto, former President OF Hon.
duras. were going TO attack them. They
intmated that it wouti not go well with
them if alter fight they should be cap
tured, and they wanted to get away on tue
Foxhall.
1t was surmised that the things in boxes
they carried were customs receipts and
other funds, which frequently cause revo-
lutions in Central American republics.
Leslie said that he was under orders to
sail al O'Clock at night. and he cast off
the lines promptly at that hour. Before
doing so he learned that the nicht before
the rebels under Desoto had captured a
garrison commanded by a German officer
in the barracks on a lagoon just Tor beast
OF Puerto CorteZ. The rebels got six can
mons and lot of rifles and ammunition.
Chief Officer Krojasgard of the Foxhall
said that he ad heard from men ashore
the night before the Foxhall sailed that
there had been general uprising in the
republic, and that President Bonilla had
decided to accept the aid of Guatemala,
Salvador and Nicaragua to suppress the
rebellion. There was no disorder or firing
on shore when the Foxhall steamed out
into the gulf of Honduras.
