A correspondent from Washington says
that President Grants lines about the
choice of successor at the close of his
Message are understood by his friends to
be an intimation that he has personally
waived all hope for the third term. Now, if
the President who understands how to ex-
press himself clearly, intended such a
declaration he might have made it in Ian
guage that could not be misunderstood
General Grants record shows the possession
of two qualities he can PROFOUND rid
dies like a sphinx when he is in oracular
mood, and declare his intention with clear
ness and force when he has an idea to con-
veg to the country. We can recall many SEN
tences from President Grant that became
ton like electric shocks II will fight it out
on this line if it takes all summer" "Our
enemies are robbing the cradle and the
grave" 'Let US have peace. 'Let no
guilty person escape" Il demand an un-
conditional surrender" These are all plain
phrases, the meaning of which nobody ever
thought of discussing. Why does not Presi-
dent Grant say on the third term question,
II will under no circumstances be candi-
date or accept the Office of President for q
third term, believing as do, that such an
act would be violation of sacred tradition
of the constitution" This is the way for the
President to end the third term dicussion,
and not by writing oracular phrases which
have different meanings to different readers.

Washington, June 2.-The Presi-

eluded. The Commissioner of Indian
Affairs gives the following synopsis of
the Interview:


The President explained the agree
ment that had been drawn up, relin-
gushing their right to hunt in Ne
braska, and reserying to them the
country north OF the Niobrara River
outside their reservation. All the
country north OF the North Platte is
considered as urceded territory; by
this, they give up portion of this
country, and reserve the part where
the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Agen-
cies Rre located. He said the S25 900
were for presents. and to be given in
money; he offered to allow them to
name person to receive the money
and buy such things as they wanted
he expressed desire to see them well
provided for during his term of office,
and asked them to consider the ques-
ton of removing to the Indian Terri
tory. Spotted Tail said the govern
ment was asking too much, aud that
certain portion of their country had
never been ceded, and wanted to
know when they were to be paid for
that; he alluded to the section which
they still intended to retain. He de-
clined to sign the agreement, and said
he would &" home to his people and
send word back what he would do.
He was told the money would lapse
into the Treasury on June 3Oih, and
he asked if some one here could hold
the money until he could return to
their country and send word back
what his people would do. The Pre-
sident was finally compelled to leave,
the I1dians having declined to sign
the agreement. n-

When Secretary Bristow took hold
of the matter seriously and in earn

ing at. or if anything would come Of
it. We do not misrepresent public
sentiment when we say that there
was 40 general expectation of any
thing but disgraceful compromise
or conspicuous failure in the at
tempt to break up the Ring or pun
ish the thieves. The Ring men
themselves were confident or AFRO
giant, and boasted that their connec
tions with high officials were suffi-
cient to warrant them impunity. The
people looked on and doubted
whether conspiracy so strongly in
trenched could be routed. 1t was
only when the Ring itself began to
fall IN pieces and turn States evil
dence that public confidence in the
suceess Of the attack manifested it
self. The sentence of Joyce increas-
ed it, and now that Mcdonald has
been convicted by jury confidence
becomes almost certainty. 1t is
triumph of truth and honesty and
good government at which honest
men everywhere will rejoice; full as
important a victory over corruption
and greed as any that has been won
these five years; and we give un-

Could be our own little Jack!

Used to climb upon my knee,

Such strong and sturdy fellow.


With his broad and honest brow.
How he used to love his mother!

See the bronze upon his forehead,


Hear the voice of stern command
That the boy who clung so fondly

All. my wife, we've lost the babies,
Ours so long and ours alone;
What are we to these great people,


Stately men and woman grown?
Seldom do we even see them:


Yes, a bitter tear-drop starts,
As we sit here in the fire light,


Lonely hearth and lonely hearts.
All their lives are full without us:


They'll stop long enough one day
Just to lay us in the church yard,


Then they'll each go on their way.

was much interested in Mr.. Gilbert's ar
ticle On Water in Stock Food" published
in recent number Of the Farmer. My
own experience with corn fodder has been
unsatisfactory, for while am willing to ad-
init that the flow of milk has been uniformly
increased by its use, l still think that. the la
Dor and manure required to produce good
crop OF corn fodder can be more proftably
expended in some other direction. For the
past two years have sown no corn for fod-
der, having depended mainly upon the re-
fuse Of the cabbage crop (grown for market)
to keep up the flow OF milk in late summer
and early autumn. For winter use have
always supposed the mangold, or better still
the Imperial Sugar beet, to be the cheapest
food that can be grown for stock-to be fed
of course with good early cut hay. But
having last fall quite lot of late planted
cabbage, that owing to the drouth, failed to
head up hard enough for market, and not
caring to bury them for spring use, L conclud-
ed to store them for winter feed, and since
about the middle of November l have been
feeding them from Is to 20 lbs. per day.,
with the best results Not only has the flow
of milk been kept up but it is of exceeding
richness, producing butter as yellow as in
June and almost with the peculiar aroma Of
that season.


Until this winter have always imagined
that cabbage impaired an unpleasant favor
to milk and butter, but from this winters
experience am inclined to think that some
other cause must be assigned for any pecu-
liar flavor that have noticed while feeding
this vegetable. My practice is to feed twice
a day at milking time.


Cabbage, as is we'll known, emits when
boiled an exceedingly strong odor, being very
rich in nitrogen. BIT eaten raw 1T is sweet
and entirely free from any rank or strong
taste. Cattle are very fond Of them, eating
greedily not only the heads but the stumps
and roots as well. They also seem to thrive
remarkably upon them. In fact l know of
no crop grown for feeding purposes, quanti-
ty and quality considered, that will give any
thing near so good returns, for the labor and
manure, from an acre of good land, as cab
bage. OF course when there is good mar
ket near at hand it will not pay to feed out
heads suitable for market. They are as ca
silly raised and with me are as sure crop as
carrots or mangolds, and require no more
labor or manure. There is but one obiec-
tion that am aware of against growing tho
crop largely for dairy purposes, and that is
the trouble of storing so bulky crop. But
with good root cellar under the barn the
difficulty can be easily avoided.


At present l have no dairy 1--WE are only
