Guitean and His Sister. A recent telegram from Washington givys. Mrs. Scoville bad quite an interesting interview with her brother, Gnitean, in Jail. Sho told him plainly that she wanted to take care of his money and papers, and he as plainly told her to mind her own business. In fact, "ho assassin of President Garfield got vary angry at her interference in his affairs, and talked to her very much as he talked to his brother John when he came on a similar raisfion. In speaking of their interview Mrs. Scoville said : -1 did not want bis money to much as to stm whether I could re; cu bim. Now that I have gone so far I may go further, and do him somo good. He said it would not hurt me if he was hanged. I told him it wcKikl hurt me more than it would him ; it would kill roe. I know it would kill me if that boy was hanged, after all I have done to save bim. When I was coming away I asked him to kiss me good-by. He turned sway and raid he was not a kissing man ; that hu was not so sentimental as that. I told him I was not sentimental, either, and I left" Mrs. Scoville proposes to lecture on the GuKeau trial and circu late petitions for a commutation of sentence. She said to a reporter ; I have n lecture already prepared. I propose to lecture and circulate Una petition for signatures.

TRAIN ROBBERY.

A Train of the Texas Pacific Head

Dallas, Texas, April HX

The Texas bain-robbers have scored another signal victoiy. They came out of their rendez

vous in the canyons andmouutaln fastnesses of

the Upper Brazos country last night, proceeded

west a few miles, and when the train from San Francisco, on the Texas and Pacifio road, pulled np at Banger station, Just west of what is

known as Canyon spur, they took possession.

There were five robbers, four of them beard

less youths, dressed like cowboys, and the fifth, the loader, a stalwart man, with tbe appearance of a desperado, wearing a heavy red shirt and a large black slouch hat, Nono'wcre

masked. AU wero armed to tbe teeth with

Wachcster rifles and Colt s unproved rcvolv

ers. Four of the gang oorralod tho couductor.

Geo. Hare, the fireman, engineer and bruko-

nicn, aiongsiae mo engine, wnue tne rea-sbirt

lender pouuueei into tne express car, command-

ine the mtsseiigcr to throw up his bauds.

which was complied with as tho niuzzlo of a

pistol was presented to his race. The colored

porter took in tbe situation and made a dash for the passenger coach, and roused three Texas rangers who had been traveling on the trains several weeks, as guards, in anticipation ot n robbery. When they reached the outside tho robbers opened fire on them, keeping the captive traia men as breastworks. Of course the rangers returned the tire, but without effect, as to do so would have killed the

tram men. Consequently none of the com

batants was hit, but a stray bullet

struck tho telegraph operator, who was retreating to his office, making a slight wound ou the back of one or bis hands. After the lender had

robbed tho express car the iiaiur retired iu sin

gle file, making tho trainmen follow between them and tho rangers until they were out of danger. It waa nearly one hour before the trainmen got back to the cars. The robbers

did not molest tbe united states malls or the

passengers, tbe unexpected presence of tho

rangers loiung a pan ot tue pioc xno express oar was liddled with bullets.

Tho messenger stales that tbe robbers secured lees than $500. It is generally believed, however, that a very large haul was mode, but the railroad and express people do not propose letting tbe loss bo made public Tho rangers accompanied tho train to Weathcrford, where a

punning party was sent out, nut up to this evening no arrests are reported, Tbe railroad

officials profess to snow who the robberii are, and predict their capture.

Revr Mexico Train Robbers Foiled. A passenger arriving at Kansas City t, few d-.ys ago, over tbo Santa Fo road, says a train

was ditched near Bincon, Now Mexico, and

Mr. Darwin published ' Jjurual of llesearcbes into the (leology and Natural History of the Various Countries, etc.," which appeared with a general account

In addition to numerous papers on various scicutiuo subjects, Mr. Darwin edited the " Zoology ot the Voyage of the Beagle," aud wrote throe separate volumes on geology viz: "Tho Structure aud Distribution of Coral Beefs," published in 1842 ; "Geological Observation on Volcanic lalunds," inlb-U; and "Geological Observation!; on South America, " in 1816, T us most important of Mr. Darwin's subsequent works arc a "Monograph of tho Family Cinhipedia," published by the Hoy Society in 1851-53, aud on tho ''Fossil Species," by the PalajoutoirraDliical Society. His "Oris in of

In this work tho author inferred that "man is descended from a hairy quadruped, furnished with a tail and pointed ears, probably iirUiioal in its habits." Mr. Darn-in win elected ft member of various foreign and English soic-utilio bodies, received from tho Byal Society the Boval and Coulev medals (or his various scion-

In Fern, as soon as death occurs, ashes are strewn ou the floor of the room and the door fastened. Kext morning the ashes are carefully examined for footprints and tlie soul of the dead it) said to have passed into the body of whatever animal the imagination traces in the marks on the ashes. One method used by the Anglo-Saxons for ascertaining the intentions of fate was to take slips of wood from some fruit-V earing tree, mark them, and after a solemn prayer shake them together and throw .thorn into a white garment spread for the purpose. The number of marks lying uppermost decided the greater or less degreo of fortune to come. Bands of mtuio are forbidden to play on most of the large iron bridges of the world. This is due to the well-known phenomenon that a constant succession of sound waves, especially such as come

Miners in the quartz mines believe that (ho rats there ore thousands of them in mines that ore being worked eau toll when an earthquake or cave in tho wails of the mine is coming.

How Jerusalem Looks Sow, In (he Atlantis Monthly, Eel ware?

Everett Hale cives the followiBjr realistic

pen-picture of Jerusalem i

Everybody kuows the general aspect

of Jerusalem now. Ordinance Knrvtf, societies for exploration, Sunday-scr.ool teachers, and artistic friends 'jave brought pictures of it for those of tvi who live in these most remote corners; Jeru

salem itself, be it remembered, being in the "middle of the world." Iudeed, such is the ease of travel now, that it is safe to take for granted, ia any considerable assembly, that some one is present who has walked in the streets of Jerusalem, has seen the Jews weeping by its walls, and can describe from personal remembrance the Mosque of Omar. i

This general aspect helps ns in form-

log an idea of what it looked like eighteen huudred sud fifty years ago of which, by misfortune, there is no description. Of the temple and its nlorios, as

ill readers know, there is very full de

scription! but the lnutflertmce of the an

cients to the picturesque and even to

typography, leaves ns to construct for

eurselves the Jerusalem of the gospel time. Still, the slopes of the hills re tiiere; tlie olive-trees aud the anemones and the cyclamens, with the rest of the

spring vegetation, are there. The wood

lias been destroyed Iron, tbe country generally by the ravages of Islam and i ilam's wars. But the neighborhood of ;

a oity as large as Jerusalem waa then is uever heavily wooded. The population of the city itself was then six or eight ti mes what it ia now. Such a population

requires diligent farming and market g ardeuing in the neighborhood. 80 that it is probable that the country around

had more farm-houses and hamlets and

other aspects of habitation than it has now. But. makintr such allowances for

changes, the traveler to-day has a right

to feel that lie looks on mucn suen a ltxdscape as the traveler coming down to Jerusalem from Jericho saw in the d ays of Jesus Christ. A New Eughvnder

omoumes catones a nit or landscape in is own region which reminds him, if

tjie conditions of sky anil climate are

tight, of these rouau?a inns ana rounaea olive-trees and closer olivo-orehards. I

h.ive a photograph of a piece of " hill country" near Jerusalem which may easily be mistaken for a borne scene in Northern Middlesex, or Southern New

Hampshire. You have only to select a

bit of rolling country, well covered with

orchards, without New England houses, forests, evergreens, or pines, but with a fair share of stone walla, photograph it, and place the picture in your portfolio,

between a view ot ,mna ana one ot tne

Dead Sea, and even an experienced p: Igrim would take it up and say, '"'And tbis is somewhere near Jerusalem."

The city was built so long ago that

noliody kuows when. It ia on the crest

li le between the waters ct me ueaa ea vnlley and those which flow into the M editerranean. The hills on which it

stands were abrupt enough to make an admirable fortress; what has been said ol rounded slopes does not apply to tt.em. Fortress it was in the days of ti e Jebnsites, when David took it. After his time, it assumed the slate and importauoe of a capital. And this was 110 little state and importance when it

meant a canitat to which "the tribes

come no three times a year," Josephus

soys in what is probably an uuiutentinnal exaggeration that at the time of tho Passover a million and a quarter people .assembled iu it, or in tents around it. Bvenif .this is not true, it gives an idea of what an intelligent man thought train times immediatoly after Ulirist's visifa to tbe city.

A young and rapidly-growing Territory is, of course, largely populated by men, but they are not as a rule millionaires with a bad cough. Most of ihem are healthy and retain their mental faculties.

The crisp, dry air here is such that hunger is the chief style of yearn in Wyoming, and a good 000k can get $125 per month, where bilious people would be bothered like sin to get a job at $& per week. That is the reason we are writing these terse and perhaps ungollant words. We want to discourage the immigration of a huge majority of those who nave written us on this subject They are too fresh and too yearnful in their nature. We wanted to do the Territory some good and to encourage a class of women to come to this region who would know enough to construct a buttonhole on an overcoat so that it wouldn't look like the optic of across-eyed hog.- We wanted to throw out an invitation to womankind to come here and locate, but we did not know that such people as responded, classed themselves as women, Wo do not consider woman a drudge or a slave, across the nape of whose neck the overshoe of the tyrant, man, is planted. One thousand times nay t We look upon woman, however, as useful in the great struggle of life. Generally she is on one side of the struggle and the tyrant man on the other. One thing," however, is settled. There is not such a mad rush at prescmt for blank-verse makers as there is for women of sound sense who can make a pie that will not taste like a titove lid veneered with cod-liver oil.

Chang and Eng. In answer to a correspondent who writes us for information on the aljove subject, we have compiled the follotring information: Eug and Chang were born simultaneously, on the 15th day of April, 1311, aud died at the age of sixty t :ree ears. They were connected together by a patent coupler, which entered the body of each in the regiou of the t estpacket This connecting arrangement n-i-ce-sarilv threw thent a great deal in

each other's society. When they were

boys their lives wore rendered more or less unhappy by their widely different tastes. Encr was very fond of sour ap

pies in his youth, and when at night he rolled and tossed upon bis conch with a largo slock of oolio on hand, Chang had to lie awake and get the benefit.. Iiftter

tin another meeting. iang was a mason and Clin.ig was a Knight of Pythias,

and 1 hey used to give each other away Btiiii'tiuieB, and have lots of fun. Eng was a Half-Breed and Chang was a btal-

w.irtand that made it bad about atte nd

ing caucusses. Chang joined the Epis

copal Church and believed in sprinkli ng,

while Eng was a Baptif t, and not roily

got immersed inmseii, put nxea n bo that Chang had his sins washed at the same time. Once in a while Chang would get an invitation to a private pnrt.v in a set to which Eug did not belong-, and then they had to settle the

question by putting Etruscan noses on each other as to whether they should go or remain at home. Chang died first, and Eug died a few hours later as a matter of courtesy. Eng was not prepared to die, and regretted that he waa not consulted by Chang before this important step was taken, but he naid it would save the expense of two funerals, and be wjtnted to do what was right The lives of these two men were somewhat peculiar iu many respects. There were many little) nameless aunoyanceo to which each were compelled to submit, and which would not at first occur to the student For instance, Chang had to get np und go for the doctor in company with Eng whenever Bug's children had the croup; and wheuevor Chang's wife thought there was a burglar in the woodshed, Eng had to get up in hia night-shirt, and go with hia brother in search of the villian. They could ride the festive velocipede, and when Chang got biling drunk, Eng hud to go to the jug with him, and stay there till the fine was paid. Among the many blessings which cluster about us, and are showered down upon ns through life, we are prone to lose sight of tho !'uot that with all of our sorrows and disappointments, we aro not born Siamese twins.

Great skill is required for producing the best artiole in musioal instruments. ' Foun ducks are ample to one drake. Ducks may be bred in a small pen, whore there ia merely a tank of water four feet by two, and two feet deep. Many of the eggs, however, will be unfertile. For success on a large scale a good-sized pool Of water is essential. The birds should have the run of a field. Care should be taken not to overfeed breeding ducks; and if early eggs be required, meat diet must be given and warm quarters at night Br Tmnaan the surface anil is kept in an open, porous coudition, favorable for the distribution of roots. By this means, also, capillary attraction is dimi-

nisuea, ana tne land consequently suffers less from drouth. The water-holding power of the surface soil is also increased. A still more important result of tillage is that the soil is thoroughly exposed to the influence of the air. Soils containing humus or clay will absorb ammonia from the atmosphere and thus increasa their store of nitrogen.

Fabmiaiid manure raiiiclly .undergoes

fermentation. If placed in a heap, the

mass gets sensibly hot and a large quan

tity of carbonio icid is given off. When

the fermentation occurs in a place prl

tec ted from rain, carbonaceous matter w

destroyed, but little loss of nitrogen

takes place. Itotten manure, wnen well

made, is more concentrated than fresh,

having diminishe 1 in weight during ler-

mentatiou, with but little loss ot valuable? constituents. Some of the. constitu

ents have also become more soluble. Farmvard manure suppliewall the essen

tial elements of plant food. The immediate return from its application is much less than from the same amount of plant food annlied in artificial manures. The

ott'oct of farmyard manure ia spread over a o msiderahle sumbcr of years, it nitrogen being chiefly present, not aa. ammonia, -bntm the form of carbonaceous compounds, which decompose but slowly in tlie soil. ' Wm. W. pKRTOts, I Newbury, Mass., who received a premium from the county society for a crop of grass grown on one acre of land, gives the following account of its cultivation: "The first crop of hay from this acre of lund was cut tho second week in July, aud weighed 0,700 pounds. The socbiid crop cnt the last of September weighed 2,110 pounds. Thirty-five years' ago the loud was cleared np, being covered with a growth of alders and huckleberry bushes ; at that time it was seeded down with hprdsgrasa aud redtop ; for tho first few years the crop was a fine one; since then it ia quite small, hardly paying for harvesting. The land waa plowed in August, 1880, rolled, and ten cords of manure carted on from barn cellar, spread and harrowed in with a diao harrow and brush harrow until it is made fine. One peck of herdagrass and one-half bushel

of red-top seed waa sown. The whole cost of manure and labor was about $75. 1-have known some farmers to use more seed, even as mnoh aa one bushel of herdsgrass seed to tho acre. My experience for apwarla of fifty years is that

one peek of herdsgrass and from one-

half to one ousnei. 01 red-top. is quite enough to the acre, if the ground is in suitable order. The cost of a ton ot bay.

of course, depends mnoh on the quality of thesoU."
