The Baron, during the latter years

Whether or not Baron Natili is

rather of the Homestead Law.

On the Fourth of next March it
will have been fifty years since
Galusha A. Grow entered Congress.
He was recently reelected to mem
bership in that body.
In The Saturday Evening Post OF
this week there are many interesting
stories of his experiences. Mr.. Grow
entered Congress as a Democrat but
became a sturdy Republican and a
trusted friend Of Abraham Lincoln.
For nearly two years be was with him
several times each week, and he says:
Il was deeply impressed by the
grandeur of his character, brought
into strong relief by the lights and
shades of the war; Mr.. Grow was
the father of famous Homestead
Law. In the article he says:
II introduced five bills at five
different sessions of Congress before
one was finally passed and became a
law, as it did while / was Speaker.
1t was one of the most gratifying
moments of my life when | had the
pleasure of signing this bill. The
policy Of giving homesteads and Of
securing the public lands to actual
settlers appealed to the convictions
and interests of the new States, and
more especially to those Of the Ter
reitories."

Of this generation, the most stipend
Gus change in existing conditions
that could possibly be imaginkd has
taken place quietly, almost gently,
upon the the anniversary of the death
of Queen Victoria's father, the Duke

The end of this career, never
equaled by any women in the worlds
history, came in a simply-furnished
room in Osborne House. This most
respected of all women, living or
dead, lay in a great four-posted bed
and made a shrunken atom, whose
aged face and figure were a cruel
mockery of the fair girl who, in 1881

A terrible accident occurred at the
site of the water works plant on
Thursday evening last. A trench
twenty-five feet deep was being cut
to tap n of the deep wells for the
purpose of making connection at
that depth with the water reservoir.
Five colored men were at work on
this trench and A. b. Sanders, en-
gineer in charge, was on a platform
ten feet down in the trench, investi-
eating its condition, when suddenly
caving commenced, causing some of
the braces to drop and the sheathing
to collapse.
Mr.. Sanders called to the men to
come out, leading the way, himself
having a narrow escape. The upper
most mar had NJ trouble getting out
and two of the men at the extreme
twenty-five foot depth likewise escap-
ed without injury, but Jos Monroe
was trapped at the bottom OF the
trench, surrounded with dirt and the
in~terlaced timbers overhead. The
-
fifth man, Nick Honore, who stood
on the same platform with Mr.,
Sanders, at a ten-foot depth, was
caught between the collapsing tim
bers and crushed to death. After
four hours of hard work, Monroe
was rescued from his perilous posi-
ton, with a broken leg. Several
hours later, the lifeless body Of
Honore was unearthed from the
debris.--Iberia Enterprise.

The Evolution Of a Grain Of Rice.

One grain of rice produces or.
being sown, the first year, sixty
punches, OF heads, of rice, each
bunch giving $50 grains, thus yield;
ing the first year Is 900 grains Of
cereal.
These IL, 900 grains on being sowu
the next year, will yield one and one
half (1d) barrels of rice, and u
barrels of rice sown the third yeat
will give six acres of rice, ut twelve
barrels an acre, amounting to 2
barrels.
Thus the conclusion is reached
that one grain of rice will yield at
the end of three years, u barrels,
and still there was a time when rice
