guired to feed varies according to the kind
Of food we are giving. When it is all
good hay, 1t will be eaten in less time
than when part is Of coarse or poor
quality, but in either case the COW will
eat with q good appetite. As rule,
would say, two hours is sufficient for one
meal or two and half in the morning
and one and half in the evening. More
time is required in the morning, as the
roots and meal are fed at this time. NV
reason for feeding these in the morning is
because there is q much longer time be-
tween the evening and morning meals,
and the cow is therefore in better condi-
ton to eat a richer and heartier meal


If a cow, after becoming dry, loses flesh,
as she sometimes does before calving, es-
pecially when the calf is a male, and the
COW little thin, feed one or two quarts
of meal day. When there is a great
draft upon the system, as in the case above
mentioned, oat meal, find, is greathelp

meals a day during the winter season, OF

Committee on Ways and Means, this
morning, were completing their report
on the Pacific Mail Subsidy question.
1t is intimatcd that the report will
recommend that measures be taken to
have two of the persons who received
large sums prosecuted for perjury. The
committee will also report Il bill rccog-
nizing none but properly authenticated
attorneys in the business before Con-

The Senate Finance Committee re-
ported the tax and tariff bill without
amendment and without rccommenda-
tion. A majority of the Committee
would have preferred to amend the bill,
in various particulars, but at least four Of
the eight members now in Washington
believed to amend the bill at all, would
impede its enactment, in consequence,
not only, of the conflicting views in the
Senate, but of the difficulty Of reaching
the bill when returned To the Speakers
table in the House for action on any OF
the amendments, which the Senate and
a majority of the House might be willing
to agree to. A number of Senators will
move amendments in the Senate, some
with II view to improve the bill, and 9TH

We have the following illustration of
personal influence and personal devotion
in the history of the Napoleonic cam
paigns: When the allied army entered
France, company of polish soldiers
forming n part were engaged in the
pillage of private property. A gray
haired old man demonstrated against
their action, saying "When L was a
soldier the rights and property of peace
full citizens were respected. The Polish
soldiers rudely demanded "Who are
you that dares to reprove us?" The old
man answered 81 am Kosciusko "
Immediately every cap was off, and on
their knees they begged the pardon and
blessing of that conquered hero whose
misfortunes in the cause of his country,
even more than his valor, were embalmed
in every Polish heart.

The Pensacola correspondent of the
Atlanta Herald writes as follows, con-
corning the ravages of the yellow fever
at Fort Barrancas The disease has been
definitely ascertained to have had it's
origin from the bark Won Moltke, which
put into the port in distress, her crew
being down with the fever. She, it
seems, as is customary, was boarded
while out of sight of land, by pilot,
and by him brought over the bar. Dis
covering yellow fever on board of her,
he slipped off and went ashore, and
thence proceeded to his house, i'm
mediately adjoining Barrancas. Having
been i'll close contact with the sick crew
for number of hours, he of course car
ried the disease to the land in his cloth.
ing. AS soon as it was ascerSained that
he had been on board the Won Moltke
he was straightway sent to quarantine,
where he will remain until trogS comes.

These regiments serve in Africa and
nowhere else. They may, in the event
of war-as was the case in the Italian
and the Franco German campaigns-be
called npon to take the field elsewhere,
but only for season. So soon as peace
is proclaimed they have right to de-
mand being sent back to Algeria. The
men are nearly all volunteers. The Off
GERS can exchange with their comrades
in the line corps, but rs rule it is found
that in all ranks those who make the
best soldiers for Algeria are of little or
no use in home garrisons, and generally
seek ere long to return to the wilder life
of Africa. In the ranks of these French
Algerian corps are to be found class of
volunteers who shun service in France,
but who make the very best soldiers for
the work they have in Africa. There are
men who have failed in life-young men
of good family who have run through
their means, who cannot dig, who are
ashamed to beg, and would be almost
more ashamed to enlist in regiment
serving in their native land AS a mate
ter of course a certain portion of these
men go from bad to worse; but as a rule
they reform, throw all their energies
into their new career, AMI after some
years obtain commissions in the army.

| EDITOR HERALD: For the past two


days Col. Peel, of your city, has been
with US, endeavoring to interest our
people In the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad, about which, pre-


vious to his visit, they knew but little.
Strange as 1t may seem, the people of


San Bernardino have conceived the
idea that Los Angeles Is their enemy,


and they have been taught to look


with suspicion upon every enterprise


or project which emanates from your
city,. Ii Col. Peel has accomplished


nothing else during his sojourn in San


Bernardino, he has done good by erad-


icatihg from the minds of some that


false impression. There is no reason


why harmony and good feeling should


not exist between the two places, for


the prosperity of the one is beneficial
to the other. The Colonel has been


very assidious in Ills efforts to wake


up our people to their own interests,
and has done much to make the Los
Angeles and Independence Railroad
project understood. Some who pre-
vious to his visit looked upon it with
disfavor, are now enthusiastic in its
support, and we have no doubt that
subscriptions to stock will be liberal.
Col. Peel went from one business house
to another, talked railroad and has
excited some enthusiasm on the sub
ject, which the friends of the road here
will keep alive. The proposition that
the building of that road will greatly
benefit San Bernardino is too plain to
admit Of argument, and our people are
beginning to appreciate the fact and
will no doubt render material assist
ance.


San Bernardino Is flourishing and
improving more rapidly than at any
former period. improvements. some
of substantial character, are going up
in all directions, and every branch of
business is increasing. The hotels of
the place are constantly full and mad
equate to the demand of the travelling
public.


Rumor has it that another Demo-
cratic newspaper will soon be started
by some gentlemen from Salt Lake,
formerly proprietors of the Utah Min
ing Gazette.


The recent rains have been all that
could be desired, and the promise for
an abundant harvest was never better.
No part OF the county suffered from
the storm, so far AS we have heard.
The SHOWS in the mountains were very
heavy, and the streams in the valley
are as low as they have been at any
time during the Winter.


In Holcomb aud Bear Valley active
mining operations have been sus-
pended on account of the snew,

within a few weeks, provided
the machinery, most of which is at
Spadra, can be hauled. In Bear val
ley there are Il number Of miners wait |
ing the opening OF Spring, and 1t is
expected that ut least !,
thousand men will find employment |
there by the first of May. The wealth
OF that district is not known, and there
are some interested there who are
striving to keep back the mineral re-
sources which otherwise would long
since h.ve been developed.


Los Angeles and this place, during
the present year will derive much val
unble trade from the mines OF Bear

The boiler of the engine Cenhalia, of
the EastOn IL Amboy Railroad, exploded
ON the morning of the 1st at the Raritan
siding near South Somerville, N. j. The
following particulars are given in the New
York papers of the I'd:


The engineer, the foreman of the labor
gang and three other men were killed,
and thirty-three laborers were scalded,
some of them fatally. The cause of the
explosion is said to have been the worn
out condition of the boiler and the lack of
water kept in it. The engine LETT Bound
brook about seven a. m. with cOnstruc-
tion train, consisting of caboose and a
number of empty gravel-cars, for the
purpose of assisting in tho repair Of the
road The engine was attached to the
rear of the tram and directly in front of
it was the caboose and another contain
ing about forty-eight laborers. When
the train reached the siding, about two
and half miles west of Boundbrook,
it was run upon a side.track in
order to allow the eastern bound passen-
ger-train to pass. While standing here
the boiler of the engine, without any
warning, exploded, wrecking the loco
motive, shivering the caboose to atoms
and pouring steam and boiling water into
the car in front of it. The laborers occu-
pying the caboose, unconscious of danger,
were talking and laughing together, and
when the shock came were scattered like
leaves before Il hurricane. Some of them
were blown through the roof and sides and
by the force of the explosion were lifted
twenty or thirty feet into the air. But
eight men escaped uninjured. Many were
severely wounded by flying fragments of
the cars and engine and two or three were
fatally scalded. Five were killed almost
outright. The boiler was carried high in
the air and landed about 100 feet from the
scene of the disaster.


Col. Palmer H. Thompson, foreman of
the labor gang, was burned about the body
and injured internally. He died about
four p. IN. He was commander of
Pennsylvania regiment of militia during
the late war, and leaves wife and one
child. When the physician came to at
tend him he said: "Attend to others first;
am not hurt as badly as they are" Be
fore dying he described how the force of
the explosion had thrown him through
the roof of the caboose, and thirty feet
high. While falling he thought of ofclutch
ing the telegraph wires, which he saw
many feet below him, to break his fall,
but, thinking it would be useless, re-
Trained He alighted on a lie, which
broke in one of his ribs and burst in one
of his lungs, which produced fatal in
ternal hemorrhage.


BOundbroOk was the scene of intense
excitement, as the explosion, though it oc-
CURED two and half miles from there,
was distinctly heard. Wood choppers
working several miles distant heard the
reverberations and hurried to the scene.
Many stories were afloat as to the cause of
the accident, but, in the excitement that
prevailed, it was impossible to ascertain
where the blame rests.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago IN

CATION of communities, each dwelling in
a city of its own, and each striving to in
trench itself behind an impenetrable wall
of social prejudices. An experienced
Londoner can tell with tolerable certain
ty to what caste a man belongs by
knowing where he lives. 1t would be
difficult 10 map out the exact boundaries
of the rival camps, but Becky Sharp
knows perfectly well the social status OF
Mrs. Veneering when she discovers that
the dwelling of the latter is in Blooms
bury, while the stock broker who inhabits
villa ut Norwood views his neighbor
with suspicion who has lately removed
from Hackney. The various districts are
generally perfect cities in miniature, each
with its business center, from which ra-
diate the dwelling portions Of the neigh
DOrhood. Nothing gives so striking an
impression of the vast size OF London as

Salt Lake, April 1.-THE flood in
the valley Of Bitter Creek, Wyoming,
is still reported on the increase Three
Union Pacific bridges are now re-
ported gone, as is also the road bed in
many places, and nothing can be
done towards repairs till the water
falls. This trouble extends for dis
tance of ten miles. Four teams came
through from Rock Springs to Green
River station to-day, having been
chartered by some passengers to bring
them over the hills. A freight train
was expected to leave Ogden to-day,
but was discontinued on account of
another wash-out reported to have oc-
CURED this side of Green River. All
the mountain streams are rising on
account of the rapidly melting snow,
and there will probably be difficulties

When the Bourbons came back to France
their first act was to regard the Revolution
as nothing, and all the events that had tran
spired between 1898 and 1915 as never having
occurred. We know what came of that
effort. The Bourbons fingered along for 9
few years and finally we're dismissed from
France with the contempt Of their people.
They have lived ever since in exile. If Mr..
Wood and his triumvirate propose to lead
the democratic party into the same path by
repeating the foolish and mischievous-

likes also to have it served neatly and dec

tuition TO lay it down as a law, if
our Presidents, who support and defend
the constitution, break it in practice. Presi-
dent Grant has done more than any other
President to transcend this salutary law by
surrounding himself by Methodist court
and showing that his administration never
fails to respond to the influence Of Methodist
priests


To this influence we trace this wanton
throwing of this aschool" firebrand into our
politics. We repeat that this is not only
danger to our government, but to the Church
itself We hold Methodsm in high honor.
II has done much toward the civilization of
this New World. 1t has brought into reli-
glon life, courage, sincerity, tolerance and
freedom, and resolute driving on and on
toward religious aims that we see in no other
Protestant faith. No greater calamity could
betall this Church, its honored prelates and
its devoted members, than for its priests to
attempt to control the administration of the
country. When one sect, no matter whether
Protestant or Catholic, aims for political
power, the tendency is to unite all other sects
against it and to bring scandal and reproach
upon it, and in the end to do harm to the
true spirit of religion. Therefore, President
Grant in his Message has made q double
error-frst, as the head of the country call
ing into being question sure to excite the
animosities Of sects; second, in throwing
upon his Church, if he respects and loves it,
the odium of dabbling in politics. There is
no more danger to the free schools of
America than there is to the free press
This phantom of religious interference in
education" is a political Will-o'-the-wisp
which appears when a party is in distress.
1t is invoked every generation by dema-
gogues who would gain political power. 1t
is unworthy of General Grant, altogether un-
worthy of his position as President, his fame
as a soldier his character as a man of COM
mon sense. We dwell upon it with pain as
the one blot in Message which otherwise
meets our warmest commentator and
which without this would have stood out
among the ablest most conservative and
most patriotic documents ever addressed to
the American people by an American Presi-
dent
