A true friendship costs something

 but it is worth all it costs. In consent

 ing to have friend, or to be friend, one takes upon himself added respon- slbilitIes of sorrow and pain as well as of joy and comfort. "A friend should bear friends infrmities." A true friend does share every burden of "a friend, which he cannot lift or light en. His thought is ever of what he can give or do as friend, not of what he can receive or have done for him. In fact, what we are ready to do for a friend, not what we expect of friend, | Is the measure of both the strength and the value of our friendship. Nor is there any limit-save that of duty and our friends need-to the sacrifices We are ready to make for a friend if our friendship is worthy of its name. It is because the cost of friendship is so great that the realization of friend ship IS so rare.

 " All like the purchase; few the price will And this makes friends such miracles

 below"

 But a pure and wise friendship has value beyond its utmost cost No life can reach it's fullest measure of enjoyment of usefulness without al friend. He who has made the acqui- sition of a judicious and sympathiz- ing friend may be said to have doubled his mental resources"

 Much has been justly said of the advantage to man of the friendship of true and noble woman. One writ CT Is sure that "a woman, if she be really your friend, will have sensitive, regard for your character, honor and rePute," and because of her possession of subtle delicacy of tact and plain soundness of judgment, which are rarely combined to an equal de- gree ln man," she will counsel you more prudently than can any of your male friends. So many and so obvious are the benefits of friendships, that the words of Cicero are as true today as nineteen centuries ago, friendship is he only thing in the world concern ng the usefulness of which all man. I iind are agreed"

The Golden Star mill, at Cave Creek commenced operations last Monday, and has proved a perfect success in every respect. They are now running on quartz, and the amalgam showing on the plates give promise of success beyond the most sanguine expectations of those in charge.

CORN FOR HORsEs.-We do not share the


feelings of many of our friends touching


the relative merits of corn and oats as feed


Tor horses. Old John Harper attrihutad
the splendid success of Lonefellow and his
companions in fame, in a great degree to
the corn diet on which he fed them. The
| old kentuckian said: "To orr notion
nothing IS so Strengthening to the race
| morse as good, old yellow Ohio corn. We
give ours just about twenty-eight good.
round ears, every day, when in training.
ana when they don't eat it quite all up, we
give them little more exercise to STRENGTH
en- their appetiteS and that makes them
run from end to end" Certain it is that
the owner and trainer of such horses as
Endorser, Lyttleton, Longfelow and scores
OF other celebrated ones, should know what
he Is talking about. As to ourselves we are
inclined to think that good. bright corn
might be fed during our cold. New England

1t Is fact that nearly all horses prefer
corn to any other form of dry food. Orr
idea IS that ears of corn ground cob and all.
and fed with cracked rye or mashed oats in
ratio of two to one, is. on the whole. the
best diet that can be fed to stock during
the winter and spring months. 1t does put

How TO Use Bones AS A FERTILIzER.-The


easiest manner of preparing bones for use


is to burn them with wood. The phosphate


of lime is all in the ashes, but the nitrogen


is last, as the animal matter is burned away.


But an equivalent of ammonia could be
purchased in the shape of dried blood,
meat, or fish guano, for less money than it
would cost to reduce the bones to a fine
powder in their raw condition. One hun.
dred pounds of dried bones contains forty.
five pounds of gelatin, in which there are
about five pounds of ammonia. This could
be replaced by twenty pounds of sulphate
of ammonia, at a cost of five and one. half
cents per pound, or one dollar and ten
cents. As the sulphate is at once available,
which the ammonia of bones is only slowly
produced, half or fourth of the former
would supply an equivalent of the bones

A JUST ESTIMATE OF CoNGREss-Thers is
no denying the fact that the present session
OF Congress has had a very disturbing effect
on on the business interests of the country.
The disposition to tinker the tariff, the
currency and the revenues, the heated and
partisan manner in which all these great
interest have been discussed, and the strik.
ing. lack Of ability or desire to treat
national questions in a national spirit, have
created and kept alive feverish state of
feeling not at all conducive to general
prosperity or progress. There is probably

The report of gold discoveries in the

the seizure OF the island by the English

New York Central railroad with way mails, due

late. and all other trains on that road from
points this side of Rochester are delayed from
six to eight hours and it Is doubtful whether
any through western trains will arrive over that
route to-day as the snow block ade continues

There was no serious delay on any other
road except the Rome and WATERFOWL which
is very badly blocked and several trains with
mails on board have been abandoned Unless
there is some assurance that the New York

Search for them had been made In vain, until
it was discovered that they were on the Dan
ube and bound for New Orleans. The warrants
were then placed tn the hands of the consta-
BILE to arrest them, and they were arrested.
Did Leonard telegraph to the Department Of
Justice when the Radical candidate for sher-
if shot down on the streets of Shreveport
Chas. A. Flanagan, three weeks after the
election, for no other cause than this, that
Flanagan was Democratic commissioner in
the ward, where Alston was attempting TO hold
an Illegal election, and was stopped without
any one being hurt? No flaming bloody shirt
telegram passed over the wires when tho vic
tim of Radical assassination died and left be-
hind him a widow and children, cut off from
their stay and support.


In the New Orleans Times OF yesterday
morning is a statement from Mr.. Leonard
that Clark and White were killed because
they would give evidence as to the Caledonia
riot, and he stated further that they were the
only ones who could give testimony. This is
false an toto. Clark and White were not the
only witnesses; there are more than a hun
dred others, and one came In safety who was
president OF the Republican club. Sardius
Whitehurst knew all about the riot, and was
before tho grand jury. Clark and White were
arrested because under Radical teaching,
they had become assassins. 1t was useless
for the weaker brethren Of the colored per-
suasion to resist the powerful bulldozing set
on foot by the Radical leaders, and no wonder
that one old man, from the depths OF his
heart, exclaimed tnat ne was done With lie
publican politics, system which held him in
bondage and made him q weak tool for hell


sh ends, and when the retribution should
come he would be the first VICTIM while the
designing knave who led him on was hid In

examine the other side; to call men OF
integrity and intelligence? Is it not time to

Since the administration OF Francis T..
Nichols the negroes of Caddo have been bet
ter protected in their rights; their children
have had better educational advantages and
a larger outlay of school funds, under com
petent instructors, than under the previous
eight years rule and we challenge contradic-
tiOn. The negroes are to-day safer in their
homes, securer in their property and are be-
ing better educated than under the wolves
who had them In charge in previous years.
Why? Because we are directly interested in
making them intelligent men and women !;
for In proportion to their intelligence they be
come more valuable as labor. The people of
Caddo court an impartial investigation; they
do not want any star chamber proceeding,
but are willing that all their acts shall be ex-
posed to the light OF a monday sun.

1t is generally known that the SUMS
light and heat support vegetable and
animal life in our world, and that with
out the sun universal death would reign
on earth. But it is not 80 generally
known that the suns heat is real
mechanical force, compared with
which steam and all other known forces
are weak. The mechanical value ofthis
force has been calculated by scientific
men. They find that the heat sent to
the earth every minute by the sun, would,
If it could be made available, do az
much work as two thousand steam-en-
pines of a hundred horse power each,
working constantly for four Thousand
years. -.


1t is hard to understand how this
enormous power is maintained by the
sun, for it is universal law that all force
expends itself and the sun, unless new
sources of supply are furnished, must
eventually become exhausted. Astron
omers are not agreed as to the source o1
| supply in the sun, and many believe
that it will be ultimately exhausted
and life upon our earth cease.


A number of inventors have been try
ing for many years to devise solar en-
CINE whose sole motive power shall b.
