Plowing und Manuring.
Tn reply to a question, at the Connecticut
farmers' meeting, Charles Hubbard
said that two of his fields were treated
with manure, one plow ed in to a depth of
l-jx inches, and the other having the malt
"ire sp>- > td on the surface. Both were
I planted to corn, and that where the manure
was; spread (although the amount
wn3 at least two-thirds more on the
plowed-in piece) yielded one-fourth
more cor.i. ile knew that plowed-in manure
is wasted. He did not believe that
raw peat or muck was of the slightest
value to land. If composted he believed
muck to be valuable, but then mainly as
a vehicle for liquid or gaseous elements.
Mr. "White, of Putnam, said his experience
had been that flat plowing?turning
the ground upside down?was not
good. Manure should be plowed in
with the ridges left on edge to allow air
to get at the manure.
Dr. Sturfcevant, of Framingham, Mass.,
| said he had found good results by flat
plowing-in of manures, but he believed
| the surface application to be better.
He gave facts drawn from .experiments
h<" had made to the effect that crops had
not answered to the fertilizer. His idea
was that experiments alone were not
efficient. Yet, he thought that vastly
more was dependent on the character of
seed used than on the nature of the
manure, or the manner of its application.
He gave blackboard illustrations anil
showed that the chemical elements of
manure are of such different natures
_.that for some of them only continued
r applications, sufficient to saturate the
land, are of real value. He did not believe
there was a great loss of ferfciliz|
iug gases by exposure to the atmosphere;
indeed, he thought live cents'
> worth of ammonia would replace all that
would be lost by the spread of manure
on an acre and exposure during an en^
tire winter. He was satisfied that very
little waste was experienced bv evaporation
and that surface manuring was
therefore preferable.
Sir. Sodgwick, of Corn will, related
some facta from experience and observation
to the effect that surface manuring
was far preferable to plowing-in.
* Mr. orris, of Danbnrv, sustained the
r positions of the last speaker. His practice
of stirface manuring had proved so
profitable that all his neighbors had
adopted it.
3?r. Carey, of Herkimer county, N.
S?., was also in favor of surface manuring.
His practice was in every way in
support of this plan.
> The discussion was continued at considerable
length by a number of
speakers, 4he general drift, in details of
1 experiments and practice, being in favor
of surface dressing rattier than plowingin.
Farmer'* C'ltib Qucationn nnd Answcm.
?. "What are the comparative advantages
of fermented and unfermented manures ?
This depends on the use for which they
are designed. If for garden beds, loose,
light soils, atop dressing for meadows, or
if needed-to kill any noxious seeds incor?
porated with the heap, it should be fermented;
if intended for hoed crops in
clay or loamy soift it should be in a
fresh condition.
: . . What conditions are essential to quick
~ 'decomposition in manure ?
Air, moisture and a temperature above

| What remedy is there for weevil in
small grain ?
After the grain is thrashed and put in
garner, .one farmer says to sprinkle common
salt evenly all over it, in proportions
of about one bushel of salt to one hundred
bushels of wheat.
What is ribbon grass ?
Ribbon grass is a beautifully striped
grass, sometimes used for garden borders.
It has been highly recommended
for swamps, where it is claimed that by
transplanting it supersedes all other
grasses And affords a fine quality of hay.

ButtrifcFlontinR on Milk.
^ ^ It is not uncJSamon for small particles
of "btrtter to be formed during the milking
of cows that give more than usually
rich milk. The butter globules become
broken either in the udder or in the pail,
the thin polliole which covers them being
ruptured, and the minute particles of
butter cohere and form sm;dl masses
visible to the eye. Tliis is not a defect;
on the contrary, it indicates that the
cow is an excellent butter maker. It
sometimes occurs with ordinary cows,
when the milk from neglect has not been
drawn at the usual time. The pressure
m in tho udder may then cause the glogides
to become broken and the fresh
butter to gather.

The 01(1 Deacon's Lament.
Yes, I've been deacon of our church
Nigh on to fifty year,
Walked in the way of dootv, too,
And kep' my conscience clear.
I've watched the children growin' up,
Seen brown locks turuin' gray,
But never saw seech Join's yet
As those I've seen to-day.
This church was built by goldly men
To gle >rify the Lord,
In seventeen hundred eighty-eight:
? Folks couldn't then afford
Carpets and eushings and sech like?
The scats were jest plain wood,
Too narrcr for the sleepy ones,
In prayer wo alius stood.
And when the hymns were given out,
I t<'ll you it was grand
To hear our leader start the tunes.
With tunin' fork in hand !
Then good old " China," " Mcar," and all,
Were heard on Sabbath days,
And men and womep. boys and girls,
.l ined in the song of praise.
But that old pulpit was my prideJot
eight feet from the ground
They'd roared it up?on either sido
A narrcr stairs went down ;
The front and eends were fitly carved
With Scriptcr stories all?
Findiu' of Moses. Jacob's dream.
And sinful Adam's fall.
Jest room inside to put a cheer,
The Bible on the ledge
(I'll own I did g"t narvous when
He shoved it near the edge).
There, week by week, the parson stood.
The Scripter to expound ;
There, man and boy, I've sot below,
And not a fault was found.
Of course I've seen great changes made,
Ami foiU'lif :iPViisf Till, too
lint lirst a choir was interdooced,
Then cushings in each pew ;
Next, boughten carpet for the lloor;
And then, that very year,
We got our new melodeon,
And the big shandvleer.
Well, well! 1 tried to keep things straight?
I went to ev'ry nieetin',
And voted " No '" to all they said,
lint found my intlu'nce fleetin'.
At last the worst misfortin fell?
I uuttf blame Deacon Brown :
He helped the vonng folks when they said
The pulpit should come down.
They laughed at all those pious scenes
I'd found so edifyin';
Said : " When the parson rose to preach,
He looked a'most like flyin'
Said that "Elijah's chariot
Jest half w.v up had tarried
And Deacon Brown sot by and laughed,
And so the p'int was carried.
Tliis was last week. The carpenters
Have nearly made an end?
Lxcoose lav fecliii s. hccms to mo
As of I'd lost a friend.
' It made their nocks ache, lookin' up,"
Was what the folks did say : *
More lookin' up would help us all
In this degin'iatc day.
The church won't never seem the same
(I'm half afeard) to
Under the preacliin' of the truth
I've been so used to be.
And now?to see our parson stairti
Like any common man,
With jest a railin' round his desk?
I don't believe I can !

SANTA CLAUS.
A STOllY FOR BOYS.
Santa Clans loves to fill the stocking o
every child in the world; but he lia
made a rule to pass the naughty ones by
just to put them on their good beliavio:
until the next Christinas. This is a ver
hard rule for him to keep, and unless tin
child is very bad indeed, he tries t<
make him good enough for presents be
fore he goes around with his load
Haven't you ever known a child to go U
bed naughty and cross, and wake up ii
the morning pleasant and good ? Well
night, you know, is the time Santa Clan
is about. Now, there were once tw<
little brothers, named Tom and Ned
who were great favorites with Santi
Claus, and all summer long he had beci
making splendid presents for thei
Christinas. He knew just what the;
wanted most. But one day while he wa
putting the finishing touches to Tom'i
printing press, he started with disma;
and clapped his hands to his ears.
" Can that be mv dear Tomn^i
voice?" he groaned. "Shall I have t<
give this printing press to some Qjthfl
Soy?" , He-sat ' &ing
VvT men , he got up, put the
^Wawav on a shelf marked "Pernn
>8," tmd tank dowii h roe-king horse lie
w ts making for Neil. Just alter he had
I aintetl his nostrils alieautiful red, and
a i lie was putting in his eyes?two great
si ining black eyes that lie made extra
L: rge and bright because he loved Ned so
- -he started again, almost out of his seat,
ud looked twice as sad as he had looked
oef?re. "I can't give up those two
boys," he. said, " without seeing what
Fixem can do."
Fixem is a fair}*, who is a great help to
Santa Claus in lixing up children for
Christmas. She tries, by all kinds of
contrivances, to make them pood enough
for him to make them happy. They both
know it is throwing away good things to
give them to naughty folks. The two
things don't go together. Fixem livesin
the moon, because she has to be out
nights, and it is a bright, pleasant home
for her. So the first tiling Santa Claus
did, after he had put away the rocking
horse, too, on the "Perhaps" shelf, was
to harness his reindeer and start for tin
moon. It was a great job to find it, foi
it isn't very plain in the daytime, but al
last the reindeer stopped, and oul
jumped Santa Claus. Ho looked every
where for Fixem, and found her on the
very edge of the moon, polishing it uj
for the night. She had only a litth
strip polished bright, and when she sav
Santa Claus coming with a long face sin
knew he had some troublesome childrer
for her to doctor, and she was very sorn
to leave her pretty job unfinished

Clans comes after lier, ami lie is just a:
apt to come at one time as another, fo
he lojks alieiul and' takes liis bad case
in hand a long while before Christmas.
" Well, who is it ?" she said.
" Tom and Ned," said Santa Clans.
" Bad job ?" she asked.
" Middling," said lie. " ' I will' am
' I won't' to their mother."
"Idreamed last night of a pood cur
for that," said she, " and I will try it
Can von take me to their house in you
sleigli ?"
"Yes; but we must feed Dander am
Blitzen first; for they lost their wa;
among nil these stars and things, and i
is hours since they have had anything t<
eat."
Now, fairies" can do anything, yoi
know, and Fixem merely said : " Oats
and " Blitzen," and Blitzen was eatiu)
oats, or whatever is reindeer for oats
After she had done the same good ser
vice for the other reindeer, she remem
bercd that fairies arc delicate, and til
journey from the moon to the earth be
ing a cold one, she wished herself into i
fur coat, and jumped into the sleigh. B;
this time it was nearly dark.
"Pretty late," sighed Santa Claus
" afraid my children will be in bed."
" So much the better for me if the;
are," said the fairy. " 1 want then
sound asleep. They won't take m;
medicine if they are awake."
"Show me your medicine," said Sanfc
Clans.
Fixem could liardly get her hands on
of her wrUppings, but she managed t
show Santa Clans a little box of salve sh
had dreamed of and wished for, and nm
had in her pocket.
" What are you going to do witi
that?" "said he, beginning to hav
some doubts of Fixem, although she ha
performed many wonderful cures ft
him.
" That salve," said the f.iiry, " ia to l
nibbed on their tongues uutil they look
' black and blue, and it -will make* them
: unable to say anything but ' t will' and
JI won't' until they are sick of it."
"Will they wr get over it?"'said
Santa Clans, " It would be a pity to
! have no other words ever come out of the
months of two such dear little boys."
"Oh, it will wear off when they are
sorry," said Fixeiu, and away they went.
"When they came to the house they got
; out oil the roof and went down the cliim'
ncy. There lay Tom and Ned sound
: asleep, looking vers' innocent. But there
i was a wrinkle or two on their faces which
i troubled Santa Claus.
i ""Won't do, ' said ho. "Try the
; salve."
! "I am sorry their mouths are shut,"
said the fairy. "You will have to hold
their noses, Santa Clans, so that I can
get at their tongues."
So Santa Clans took Tom's nose gently
between his thumb and first finger (he
had fur gloves oh, so he could do it very
' Koftlv rmil rwif wiiVa liiin im\ Tmn linil
i to open his month to breathe, and the
' fairy rubbed the salve all over his
tongue. He dreamed he wis eating
i blackberry jam, and troubled himself no
further about it. Then the same thing
was done to Ned, and Santa Clans and
the fairy went up the chimney again and
' off to their homey. When Tom and Ned
, awoke in the morning they began
to talk to each other as usual; but they
were dreadfully frightened at finding they
: could say nothing but " I will " and " I
won't." They soon grew tired of such
ridiculous conversation, and only hurried
, to dress themselves and run to tell their
mother of their trouble. But their whole
1 story was "I will?I won't," " 1 will,"
" I won't," and their mother was naturally
very much grieved. "Oh, boys!
boys!" said she, "didn't I tell you yes;
terday never to say that again to me?
It is a very bad habit, and I don't know
what you mean by persisting in it. If
you nre joking, I must tell you it is very
i poor fun," The poor fellows tried to pro'
test and to explain, but, although they
shook their heads and were almost crying,
their only words, "I will "and!
! "1 won't," only made matters worse. j
i "Now, boys," said their mother, "if
you are determined to disobey me, you
must go to bed again. I should advise
you to go to sleep and wake up in a more
1 obedient mood."
They felt it was useless to say more,
and so they sadly undressed and went to
! bed, very much perplexed and dismayed.
They both supposed it was some mysterious
effect of their bad habit, and they
lmrrfm in lin vow enrvv A. ft or M?nv ImJ
left their mother's room she received n
note from the fairy explaining the state
of things, -which relieved her mind, and
showed her how to help in the cure. Before
she went down to breakfast she went
in to the boys and asked them if they
would like to have some buckwheat cakes
sent up to them. Of coursc they were
both starving for them, but Tom could
only get out " I won't,*" while Ned, more
fortunately, was able to shout " I will !"
But Ned gave Tom half of his, so they
managed that difficulty pretty well, especially
as their mother sent np double
their usual allowance. They lay in bed
thinking it over all morning, and growing
more and more sorrv. Once in a while
one of them would forget himself and
li.-rnn hi K-npnk Ivnf tlifi now hateful
words were the only ones that would
come, and talking was worse than thinki
in?. About noon they were Allowed to
get up. Just as they were thinking what
they should do with themselves, in their
dreadful state, they heard their father's
voice calling them. They ran to him,
and he told them to get ready to go with
him to the menagerie. They wore porfcctlv
delighted, and both called out to
thank him, " I won't !"
"Yen* well," : id their father, who
had been let into the secret, "I will go
without you then."
This was a little too much, and, after
they were left alone, each went into a
f comer and cried. Crying didn't do
much for Ned, but the tears falling into
8 Tom's lap reminded him of the way he
' washed his slate sometimes by dropping
1 tears from his sponge (sometimes the
^ sponge would weep bitterly over a wrong
2 sum in arithmetic), and it came into his
* head that perhaps he could write sensi"
1 blv on his slate if words did fail him. So
' he came out of his corner with hope in
3 his red eyes, and went to try his experi1
ment with his slate. To his delight he
found he could write as usual, and he
s wrote: "Dear Ned?We will write and
' i tell mamma we arc very sorry we said
' those naughty words to her, and then
. perhaps this bad habit will go away."
Then Nod and Tom wrote very penitent J
letters and took them to their mother. J
J. S!ie read them, tore them in tittle bits, '
* to the great surprise o? illilUU "a **
great roaring t^Tt^eflreplace, and

pip-tSnep'it the bits together again and
\ J read the letters. " That is all right,"
; ' she said to herself, and she went to work
with a glad heart to give the moon a
| beaming smile for everybody that night,
she was so happy. Santa Clans knew by
the smile that the faixy had had good
news, and the reindeer were trotted out
that chey might learn the particulars.
And best of all, as the boys sat in the
moonlight that evening before going to
bed, they begun to talk as usual, and
'! were able to say such pleasant things to
' their dear mother as they had .never
said before. Santa Claus finished the
' printing press and the rocking horse, 1
| gave Fairy Fixem a first-rate polisher for
. her services, and made Tom and Ned, on
i Christmas morning, the happy boys he
had worked so hard to have them. i
i The Temperance Movement.
' At a meeting recently held in New
' York, Dr. Ormiston called attention to
! the great importance of the temperance
J movement, the terrible evil of in toxica
tion, and the necessity that the churches
' should take a chief part in the contest
\ against that evil. He spoke of the difH:
cnlty of reclaiming the drunkard?
^ though work to that end should not be
given up, as each rescued man was a
grand trophy?and urged that the beginnings
of intemperance should be resisted
fvfij wane mm aiwuvo?m uin mniHi
" board as well as in the ilriuking saloon, j
' in the party which encouraged it ns in
5 the darker shadows which encompassed
. its worse forms. The magnitude of the ,
' evil, in its financial, social, moral and
spiritual results, was incalculable.
In the United States 330,000,000 of
j gallons of liquors, costing $730,000,000,
were consumed annually?$20 to each
) man, woman and child. Four-fifths of
' the inmates of the almshouses were there
in consequence of. intemperance. Vagrancy
and beggary had their main
source there, and eighty to ninety per
cent, of all criminals connected their
course of crime with intemperance. Dr.
Ormiston gave fully statistics sustaining
these views, and spoke at length of the
, evils arising to the individual drunkard,
of the influence of drinking against religion
both at home and abroad, and of the
e fact that moderate drinking was only the
* introduction to excess. He also dwelt
r upon the duty of all parents, for the sake
, of their children, to make earnest efforts
that they be not entangled in this crime.

THE ASHTABULA DISASTER.
The 8ad Story of the Wrcckcd Train, with
iJs Terrible Losn of Life.
Of the 160 passengers whom the con
ductor reports as having been ou board
| the train destroyed by the Ashtabula
(Ohio) disaster, but fifty-nine cau be acJ
counted for. The disaster was dramatically
complete; no element of horror was
| wanting. First, the crash of the bridge,
: the agonieirg moments of suspense as
1 the seven laden cars plunged down to the
I icy bed of the river; then came the fire
I to destroy all who had been left alive by
; the crash; the water gurgled up from bei
neath the ice and offered another form of
j death, and finally the biting blast, filled
J with snow, froze and benumbed those
i who had escaped water and fire. It was
j an ideal tragedy. The scene of the acci|
dent was the valley of the creek which,
flowing down past the eastern margin of
| Ashtabula village, passes under the raili
way three or four hundred yards east of
I the station. Here for many years after
! the Ti.'ikp Shorn road wm built, th^ro -ivns
: n long wooden trestle work, but when
f the road was improved, about ten years
| ago, this was superseded with an iron
I Howe truss, built at the Cleveland shops,
i and resting at cither end upon high stone
piers, flanked by heavy earthen embank|
ments. The iron structure was a single
j span of 159 feet, crossed by a double
, track, seventy feet above the water,
which at that point is from three to six
feet deep, and covered with eight inches
of ice. The descent to the valley on
either side is precipitous, and as the
; hills and slopes are piled with heavy
drifts of snow there was no little diftlcul:
ty in reaching the wreck after the disas- i
; ter became kr. >wn.
The bridge was intended to be as
strong as iron and masonry could make
; it, and it required a sight of the wreck
' to convince the chief eugineer of the
| road that the bridge had fallen under the
| weight of a single train. The disaster ;
; occurred shortly before eight o'clock. It
' was the wildest winter night of the year.
Three hours behind its time, the Pacific
| express, which had left New York the
! evening before, struggled along through
the drifts and the blinding storm. The
i eleven cars were a heavy burden to the
two engines, and when the leading locomotive
broke through the drifts beyond
the ravine and rolled on across the
bridge, the train was moving at less than
! ten miles an hour. The head lamp threw
but a short and dim flash of light in
front, so thick was the air with the driv.
ing snow. The train crept across the '
bridge. The leading engine had reached
the solid ground beyond, and its driver
had jnst given it steam, when something
in the undergearing of the bridge snapped.
For an instant there was a confused
crackling of beams and girders,
ending with a tremendous crash as the
whole train, except the leading engine,
broke through the framework and fell in ;
a heap of crushed and splintered ruins j
at the bottom. Notwithstanding the.;
wind and storm, the crash was heard by
people indoors half a mile away. For a |
; moment there was silence, a stunned sensation
among the survivors, who, in all
stages of mutilation, lay piled among the
dying and dead. The few who remuined 1
unhurt hastened to escape from the j
shattered cars. They crawled out of
windows into freezing water waist deep;
men, women and children with limbs
1)rnised and broken, pinched between
timbers, and transfixed by jagged splinters,
begged with their last breath for aid
that no human power could give.
Five minutes after the train fell, the
fire broke out in the cars piled against
the abutments at either end. A moment
later, flames broke from the smoking car
and first coach, piled across each other
near the middle of the stream. In less '
than ten minutes after the catastrophe
every c:Cr in the wreck was on fire,
and the flames, fed by the dry, varnished '
woodwork and fanned by the icy gale, j
consumed the ruins as though they had
been tinder. Men who in the bewilderment
of the shock sprang out and reached
the ice, went back after wives and
children and found them suffocating and
roasting in the flames. The neighboring
residents, startled by the crash, were
lighted to t he scene by the conflagration,
which made even their prompt assistance
too late. By midnight the destruction ;
was complete. The storm had subsided;
but the wind still blew fiercely and the
cold became even more intense. When
morning came all that remuined of the
Pacific express was a shapeless mass of
car wheels, axles, brake irons, truck
frames ami twisted rails, lying m a blacK
pool at the bottom of the gorge. The
wood had btimed completely away and
the mina if"'1 Vi;ith white nahefu^
Sn the crest! of the western abutment,
half buried in the snow, stood the rescued
locomotive. As the bridge fell its driver
had given it a quick head of steam, which
tore the drawheiul from its tender and
the liberated engine shot forward and
buried itself in the snow. The other
locomotive, drawn backward by the falling
train, tumbled over the pier, and fell,
bottom upward, over the express car next
behind. The engineer, Folsom, escaped
with a broken leg, how he cannot tell,
nor any one else imagine.
It was at first fenred that not more
than a dozen bodies would be recovered
sufficiently preserved to be removed. As
the debrin was cleared away, down to the ,
surface of the water, however, a number
were found. Thirty-four of them were
taken out, but only a few of these were
in a condition to be identified, except by
means of buttons, jewelry, or other trinkets,
known only to their friends.
The Captured Spmiisli Steamer.
The story has been toU of the capture
of the Spanish steamer Moctezuma by '
Cubans, but not in detail. It was as follows
: A party of eleven Cubans left
St. Domingo for Santiago- de Cuba on
the steamer. Their arms consisted of
revolvers and swords, the latter concealed
in trunks, while some had bowie
knives. Prado, chief of the expedition,
disposed the men in position, when dinner
was being served, at half-past five.
Ti'- "< vxiv+v 1 hv Prado. sum
All IK Ui ll.v ~J , -k. ,
moiled the officers of the steamer to surrender.
One of the party says :
The signal of each man to his post was
given, and Prado, with myself, each with
a revolver in his hand, entered the cabin,
while Morey guarded the entrance to
the door. Prado told the assembled officers
that lie demanded the surrender of
the vessel. They, seeing such a small <
attacking party, commenced to resist.
Several shots were then tired by us to
intimidate the Spaniards, but with no
intent to kill. The resistance became
more determined, and Prado having been
wounded, it was found necessary to take
life to he successful in our mission. Firing
in earnest then took place. The <
first to fall was Captain Coclio, with two '
shots in his head. Then came the steward
who had wounded Prado, who reoived
a bullet in his heart; a Catalonian
passenger and a sailor who resisted were
also killed. Among the wounded were a
iireman, who received a shot in the arm;
the storekeeper aud a Cuban passenger,
who was accidentally wounded. These
were the total casualties, and we were
masters of the Moctezuma and her officers
and crew, numbering some seventy
souls. There were also a number of
passengers, among them being a Spanish
official connected with the star department
of the island of Porto Rico.
We fastened the hands of some of our
prisoners for a short time, while we held
'a council of war. Soou afterward we
released them. Meanwhile the working
of the ship was conducted as before.
On the following day the passengers and
part of her crew were landed near Port
au Paix on the northern const of Hayti.
Returning, however, to the steamer, she
otiritiinipd on her course, subsequently
sending Gutierrez and myself ashore in
a boat with messages for the republic of
Cuba and the agents of said republic.
The Cespedes, the name the steamer
is now known by, is no pirate, for she
carries letters of marque. She is commanded
by men ready and willing to
sacrifice their lives for Cuban independence.
I cannot conclude without expressing
the warmest thanks to Peru
for the noble sons she has given us to
help us in our struggle for liberty.

lost their lives or were seriously injured. As a
night western express was crossing on an iron

eleven cars seventy-five feet to the river below,
crushing through the ice. The portions of the
cars not submerged were almost instantaneously
in ilamos, so that the inmates who escaped
crushing in the fall and drowning in the water
had difficulty to avoid a still more horrible fate.
Terrible confusion occurred, the darkness of the
night being intensified by a binding snowstorm.
There were 175 persons on the train at the time,
two-thirds of whom suffered injuries more or
less serious.
Thirty-six "bodies were removed from the

UNITED STATES CONGRESS.
fScnntc.
Mr. Gordon (Dem.), of Georgia, presented a
memorial of Wade Hampton^ William D. Simp'
son, William Wallace, and mxty-eight sen a torn
and representatives in the General Assembly of
South Carolina, relative to the political sifna!
tion in that State, and setting forth that the
I "petitioners " respectfully apply to your honorI
able bodies to cause a cessation of the nnwarj
ranted interference of the military authorities
! and the United States troops in tile affairs of
thin Stutf, and for audi action as will /olievo
them from the unwarranted conduct of the United
States authorities, hereinbefore set forth,
and will enable the governor, lieutenant-governor
and House of Representatives peacefully
to exercise the rights and perform the duties of
the offices to which they have been elected.'
Mr. Gordon, by unanimous consent, submited
the following resolution:
Resolved by tJw Senate, That the State government
now existing in the State of South Carolina,
and represented by Wade Hampton as governor,
is the lawful government of said State ; that
it is republican in form, and that every assistance
necessary to sustain its proper and lawful
authority in said State should be given by the
United States when properly called uj)on for
that purpose, to the end that the laws may be
faithfully and promptly executed, life and propn?i?
nvwl /If-inn An A nnrl oil rinlnfnrj
of * law, State or national, brought to speedy
punishment for their crimen.
Mr. Morton (Rep.), of Ind., Haid: "Letthatlie
over." Mr. Gordon asked that it bo printed and
li6 over. So ordered. There being no quorum
present the vote was not taken on the amendment
of Mr. Frelinghuvsen to refer the memorial
to the committee* on privileges and elecj
tions.
House.
The Speaker laid before the House the message
from tho President in regard to the extradition
treaty with Great Britain. Referred.
I The Speaker laid before the House a petition
j from certain citizens of Cincinnati in regard to
| counting the electoral vote. A discussion arose
I as to whether tho petition should be read, Mr.
Garfield (Rep.), of Ohio, holding that the read!
ing of a petition was out of order, even though
j presented by the Speaker. Mr. Banning (Dem.),
; of Ohio, in reply said the Republican party was
attempting to defeat the will of the people by
I fraud, but if there was one thing tho people
I loved more than another-more than life-it
I was tho liberty that was vouchsafed to them in
| an honest ballot box. He wished to tell the gentleman
from Ohio (Mr. Garfield) that the people
would have an honest ballot box though the
I army might come with eighty rounds of ammn!
nition, though the navv might bo called upon,
j though the 80,000 officeholders might be called
! to the rescue. An honest people would put
them all down. Mr. Garacld regretted that his
, j colleague should sneak in timo of real danger
j like tlie present, when tho country needed all
i the wisdom and all its fairness and all its calm!
uess, that ho should find it necessary at such a
j time to hint at what the people would do-that
I the army might come, that the navy might
! | come, that the trappings of war might rati
tie, but that the people would come down
i and overide everything. Other members
, took part in the" discussion. Mr. Frye
; (Republican), of Maine, in " his remarks,
j said the prosperity of the North was tied up
I with the prosperity of the South and dosired
j peace. Tho North would not linrm tho South,
j would not interfere with it if the colored men
: were allowed to vote.
Mr. Atkins (Dem.), of Tennessee?Not a man
| in the South opposes it.
Mr. Frye?Will the gentleman tako tho testi|
mony of Gen. Sheridan that three thousand
1 colored men have been murdered in Louisiana
! because thov desired to vote ?
j Mr. Willi)* (Dcm.), of New York?I will not.
| I will not believe a word of it.
' The petition wan read and referred.
A Sick Woman's Pet.
i
A young bedridden woman has lately
| had an interesting experience with a
I monstrous rat. She resided with her
j mother and two sisters in a couple of
i humble apartments in Liverpool, Eng1
land. On account of the efforts of her
mother and sisters to support their
! home the invalid was frequently left
, alone for hours. When all was quiet n
huge rat first made his appearance
through an aperture in a closet. The
; sick girl having no fear of rodents thew
' some crumbs from her table, but for
i several days the big rat declined and ventured
no further* than a head's length
. beyond the hole. Finally he took eonr|
age and rushed out for the morsels of
' bread thrown by the feeble hands; still
; he made as little delay as possible until
the time had grown ripe lor closer ac|
qnaintance. The invalid gradually iu!
ditecd his ratship to make nearer adj
vances, and he begun to linger after the
j daily meal and. gambol about the floor
until the iirst strange footstep fell upon
the threshold, and then he was off like a
flash. Then it became one of the poor
j sick girl's whims to have her rat's daily
i portion specially laid by, and the fierce
! looking and anomalous pet at length
! was coaxed to run tip the side of the
I table and nibble his dinner beside his
j kindly mistress. Even then he could
j not be induced to stay if the most
! stealthy footfall were heard near the
i door. The only way hi which outsiders'
j could watch his movements was through
. the little windows on the top of the
?ATl'ast Tiepernitttsf TVmwaV Ar
\ be fondled without any treacherous reI
sistance, and the sick girl had not the
least fear of him. He was never heard
at night, nor was there any other rat
: about the premises. Then the. feeble
hand could serve the strange pet no
longer, nor could the poor girl be left
nlnr?A lone enoucli to assure the tamed
i rmleut that it was safe to come out. She
died, and nil other efforts to call liim out
j of his hiding place were unavailing. The
sick girl had had him in a tame condii
tion for nearly six months.
A Difficult Drill.
| At the West Point military school the
cadets are taught to ride 1>areback, to
ride without stirrups, to jump hurdles,
to use the pistol and saber while riding,
to "cut heads to the right and left," and
other feats. The "heads" are leather
balls about four or five incites in in diameter,
which are placed on posts of
| various heights. The trooper moving at
a rapid gallop must cut these heads rid|
ing to the right and left, and also cut
j heads resting on the ground, the last a
rather difficult feat when done to the left,
! compelling the rider to swing the saber
over his bridlo hand and to reach down
from a horse sixteen hands high. They
also cut heads with the right and left
cot jit the instant of jumping a hurdle.
The most skillful maneuver is the cutting
; of a head upon the ground between two
' hurdles placed about forty feet apart, the
1 ?i ?
trooper ruling atiun epeeu unu lihuu^
to the right and left in the interval between
leaping the hurdles. The trooper
; is also taught to turn his horse at full
gallop in a circle four yards in diameter.
; Most of these feats are performed in the
. riding hall, a room about 190 feet long
! by sixty-eight wide, with a tanbnrk floor.
The parade ground is about 1)50 yards
long by 150 in width. Seventy-fiVe horses
are kept in use, the stables accommodating
about 100. The animals are cared
for by a detachment of regular soldiers
provided for such service, the cadets
being too busy to perform this duty.
Why Pardon was Granted.
A pardon has been recently granted io
Joshua F. Bailer, a revenue collector,
who in 1870 left the United States with
his accounts in arrears some ?650,000.
In his application for the absolute and
unconditional pardon which has been extended
to him bv the President, Mr.
Bailey set forth that he fled the country
because of the persecution oi the then
powerful whisky ring, which had so misrepresented
him that to prove his innocence
would have been impossible. Further,
that he was not a defaulter as rep'
resented, but that of the 8050,000 discrepancy
in his accounts at least $550,000
consisted of uncollectable and uncollected
accounts, for which amount he
is entitled to immediate credit. Of the
other $100,000 he claims that the larger
! part was for moneys paid out by him in
the prosecution of oflicial and unofficial
thieves upon the revenue, and for other
legitimate purposes. Thirty-five thousand
dollars of this amount, the loss of
which he is unable to account for, but
which was no defalcation, lie promises to
make good to the government, if, upon
! examination, he is held liable for it. Mr.
Bailey only returned to his home a few
days ago, bringing with him his children.
His wife \v;is lost in an ocean passive
Home two years ngo. During his ab(
sence Mr. Bailey is understood to have
, been in South America.
An educated young man went to Mis.
sissippi a few years since. His friends
. were proud of liim, and said he would
, be heard in the world before mnny yeais.

, beats a gong at a railroad station.

Changed his Tote.
A case once occurred in our own history !
when a Presidential elector changed his j
> vote after being elected, and voted against,
his party in the electoral college. When |
James Munroe was running for a second |
term, at the election in November, 1820, j
his electors were chosen in every State, i
and in the electoral College in February, ;
1821, Mr. Plummer, of New Hampshire,
cast his vote for John Qiiincy Adams, <
to the surprise of everybody. It is said !
that his motive for this was that he did
not wish to have the vote unanimous for
any President after Washington.
