Points About Candidates and Their Strength —Treatment of Logan. “Gath’s” Chicago Letter. There is no doubt that Arthur has received strength among the independent vote by Bristow's appearance in his favor, and lias also been helped by Wayne MacVoaghs mean, assassinating letter to Bristow against Arthur. Sneaks generally overshoot themselves. Butler’s nomination at Indianapolis by an overwhelming majority, and his appearance in the next Democratic convention, promise to furnish the chief dramatic spectacles of the next six weeks. He will furnish a rallying point for every body reformed out of either party to up port. He might even get the vote of the Western Reserve, if Blaine is not nominated, on the ground that ho hung a man in New Orleans and sat down on Baltimore. Mr. Elkins predicted that Gresham would try to get the nomination over Arthur. He said that Foster had been brought home from Spain within, a few weeks to help Gresham, and hurt Ben Harrison. He thought that John Sherman would be nominated by Foraker, of Ohio, and seconded by George F. Hoar. Many other things were said, but the impression left on my mind was that the Blaine men wore u little uneasy. While Blaine’s chances have seemed strong for several days. I find a manifest strengthening of Arthur to-day. William E. Chandler arrived this afternoon to take charge of his campaign. Ho is a man of nerve, and an accomplished politician. 3\lr. Elkins and Mr. Thomas Donaldson, two old Territorial politicians, arrived to take charge of Mr. Blaine’s business. The disproportion is great. Blaine’s own attitude gives him a popular sympathy now lie has never had, but it is not known whether the convention itself will .apprehend this feeling. No person can find that he is doing anything whatever. Nobody can telegraph him from here and get a reply. As one of his friends continues to repeat, he has become a fatalist on the subject of the presidency, and believes that if he is going to have it it will come in its own wav. The treatment of John Logan in this city is unworthy of its press. He was the best soldier but one the State produced, and he served both political parties, while in them, with fidelity and courage. One newspaper here denounces him, it is said, because he would not make a revenue appointee out of oue of its editors or owners: and another hates him on account of some do mestic fuss among the women. There is not a paper in Chicago which receives this convention with any judicial impartiality. They aro all behaving like a set of savages, who expected to have a lot of harmless prisoners come in and to worry, bum or tomahawk them, as they saw fit. Judge Clisbee said: “Logan can neither get any more strength nor transfer any part of his vote to Blaine.” Ho said further: ‘‘There has been a very great change of opinion as to Arthur. When he was nominated for Vice-president, Judge Hoar turned to me and asked me to select the delegation to inform the candidates, who were both in Chiepgo. of their nomination. I went to Judge Hoar’s rooms at the Gardner House, and when he came in from dinner he locked the door behind usand said: ‘Mr. Clisbee, 1 can very well make a speech of congratulation to Garfield; but how am Ito address Arthur when I voted to turn him out of the New York custom house?’ Said I: ‘Judge Hoar, you are not here as Senator of the United States, but the agent of the Republican national convention.’ When he made his speech to Garfield he warmly congratulated him. but when he came to Arthur he mostly tendered him the nomination in two sentences. And yet to-day, from what I hear, /Hoar is expected to make a speech in favor of Arthur. To that extent lias changed public opinion.*’ Another queer thing about this convention is the existence of some suppressed scandal against Robert Lincoln, which the Bristow', or independent men. are said to hint at. It appears to refer to some law business of some time past. I apprehend that if these national conventions are to continue they will some day be held at Washington City, where there is no press to speak of. Eight years ago, when Blaine and Hayes were strong candidates, the chief Cincinnati Republican paper executed the Bristow dance every morning, as if it was in the province of the host in a city to compel the entire nation to take his choice. A foreigner reading these journals on the eve of a national convention would think that the Americans selected their rulers, and elevated them on pitchforks, and, in general, dung-forks. The impression is growing that there is likely to be a long siege of balloting. This view is taken on the ground that the Blaine men will fear that if they attempt to make a trade their effort to deliver votes will have the effect of giving Arthur enough delegates to nominate him. On the other hand, it is believed that the Arthur forces Four a like disaster in case they attempt to deliver votes to a dark horse, and that this will Inevitably result in holding the leading candidates aloof from trades. It is said, however, that Blaine and Logan have agreed to unite upon General Sherman when it becomes apparent that both will fail. Cojlated from Chicago Papers.

A special train of ten sleepers will leave Boston with the New England delegation to the Republican convention on Friday evening amt reach Chicago Sunday forenoon over the Luke Shore road. An eight sleeper special, with a portion of the New York delegation to the Republican national convention, starts from New York on Friday evening, and will arrive in this city via the Michigan Southern road Saturday afternoon. Positive information has been received that Martin I. Townsend, who is a delegate from the Eighteenth district of New York, will nominate President Arthur in the convention. No one seemed to know' by whom the other candidates will be nominated. Charles W. Olisbee, of Michigan, the veteran Reading Clerk of the House, was one of the arrivals yesterday. Mr. Clisbee performed this duty at the convention four years ago, and it is understood he is ready to act in the same capacity next week. Judge David Davis says that Blaine or Arthur would be nominated within four or five ballots, if they fail to get it in that time there will be a long series of ballots. After the bars are let down fortlie dark horses Judge Davis has no idea who is likely to be the man. The impression prevails that the contesting delegations will be admitted to seats, and will be allowed to retain them even if the committee on credentials passes unfavorably on their claims The first great fight in the convention, unless there should bo one over the temporary chairmanship. will probably be over the Virginia contest. General Powell Clayton said last night that lie was in favor of admitting both delegit lions, allowing a half vote to each delegate. He declared that lie could not be induced to vote to shut out Mahone. “We must have Mahone,” he said. “Wc cant get along without such a politician as lie is.* The Nominating Speeches. Chicago Tribune. The matter of the nominating speeches continues to bother the Arthur and Logan managers. The local administration men are not yet settled as to who among the Western delegates shall second the President’s nomination. Emery Stonfe is talking Arthur from a business nvan’s standpoint, and if lie could he got in under the canvas as a proxy the delegates might lrave the pleasure of listening to his rounded periods But the admini strut ion interests will not l>e left to chance, and some ono else will be picked out It is far trom certain that Senator Cullora will place Logan before the convention. Some of his friend-still have a faint hope that he may be mode chairman, while some of the most active Logau mew Uiiuk that the speech nominating heir candidate should be made by someone •v]m e:*n ronse the soldier sentiment and bring ..\rn the galleries. In sonic quarters (Hark E. . i has been named for this task. The lone representative of the New York Independents. y l:o ; trine out to look over the field, says Ed muni* will he nominated by George William urtis, and the nomination will be seconded by bomo one from Massachusetts. A Proposed New Ticket. CFod'iiid header. A new ticket proposed is Blaine and Sher man The greatest objection to it is that either s* adulate named is too much of a statesman to

occupy the second place on the ticket, except in the probability of that which lias already several times happened in the history of this country — the death of the President and the succession of the Vice-president to the executive chair. In view of the weakness that has several times been displayed in the selection of a nonentity as Vice-president the country should look well to the second place of the ticket. Blaine and Sherman sounds well, and were such a combination practicable it would be well. Both are men with broad, statesmanlike views, and Hie United States could not take a reti ogre-sive step with either at the head of affairs. Interview with General Hawley. New Huvea (Conn.) Special. When questioned as to the probable re suit, Mr. Hawley replied: “It will be just this way: Blaine and Arthur will both go into the convention with a*large following. but insufficient to carry it. Consequently one or the other must give way. The followers of th*> candidate who does this will unite on a lesser light—or ‘dark horse’—and this man will be the next President” “If elected.’’was interposed. “My son."Mr. Hawley sweetly murmured, “the Republican party could select a wooden Indian cigar-store sign and elect it.” “But who will be this ‘lesser light,’ or ‘dark horse’ ?” “Well. Edmunds, or Lincoln, or ” “Yourself,” put in tile writer. The Connecticut candidate smiled, hut made no reply, and the smile and far-away look never left him until New Haven, was announced. The Temporary Chairmanship. Chicago Inter Ocean. There was some talk yesterday concerning the temporary chairman of the convention. Major William McKinley, of Ohio, who was unseated by the Democratic House on Tuesday, is the most frequently mentioned. It is argued that lie has many strong points in his favor. He is a skillful parliamentarian. He is one of the Republican leaders in Congress. He is an Ohio man. and was a close friend of Garfield. He is a man of quick perception and decision. He is sturdy in maintaining a point, and would not let the convention get away from him. He is an in eisive, emphatic speaker, and a man who can strike the main points in a speech i~i a ringing way. He was elected as an unplaced delegate, and while he is supposed to be a Sherman man at first, it is known that he is a warm friend both to the President and to Mr. Blaine. It will be difficult to find all these qualifications in any other man. An Edmunds delegate said yesterday that he believed there was a disposition to elect an Edmunds man chairman, and George William Curtis was suggested. Mr. Curtis will be here Saturday morning. It is objected to him that he has talked as if he would not support the nominee of the convention whoever that may be. The talk about Cttllom never amounted to much, and it lias been dropped. The Ohio Man. Washington Special. In view of the growing strength of John Sherman, it is a matter of astonishment here that some of the delegates from his own State are quoted as opposed to him. As matters are drifting now. those from Ohio who do not support Mr. Sherman will come away withont the satisfaction of having voted for the winning man.

A heavy frost visited Rockford and vicinity on Wednesday night, doing great damage to * the growing grain and vegetables. Corn in many places is ruined, and it is too late to plant again. At Decatur the strange petition has been made to the judge by the members of the bar. jurymen and citizens to adjourn court until June 10 to give farmers time to plant corn. There are twenty-eight criminals in jail waiting trial. Many members of the bar want time to go to the national Republican convention.

Strawberry Cull are. Now England Farmer. Should you set a bed, be not ambitious for one of large size. Great oaks from little acorns grow. Select a plat as free from weeds as any in your garden. Prepare your ground thoroughly, making it what you would consider overrich, as the strawberry is a great feeder. For the variety to plant, select one requiring but comparatively little care, as, at first, vigorous growth is of more consequence than quality. Set your plants three feet between rows, and two feet be tween plants in the row, if elan ted in the spring. During the summer, hoe between tho plants, keeping the ground mellow. As the runners begin to form, firm tho earth around the new roots, at the same time placing them in such position as to aiiow room to fruit the next year without becoming too crowded. Keep free from weeds. A light dressing of fine manure, a few times during the season, will not 1* out of place. Should you have more than one row, so curtail runners as to leave a path between rows to pick from. In the full, after the ground becomes frozen, cover the beds with a mulch a? iree from seeils of weeds s possible. In the soring, after danger from frost is over, uncover the plants, leaving sufficient of the mulch in the paths to keep th** berries clean. Should any stray weeds appear, pull them up. With this treatment, a good crop will usually repay your labors. ?lore failures are made by beginners, from having too largo a bed to commence with, than from all other causes combined. The sec >ud year, a bed fourfold as large as that of the first, can be cultivated with the same amount of time spent in labor. As your taste for tho berry increases from year to year, the experience t gained in the culture during tho same time will allow you to gratify your palate without a greater demand on

your time. Commoner 1 by trying one small bed, and before long you will riot only be able to supply the wants of your own family circle, but, in addition, receive a handsome revenue from the surplus. What others have accomplished, you can accomplish. THE TAJ MAHAL. The YVondrons Tomb Built by Shall Johan for His Favorite Beauty. Agra t’orrespemdettoe St. Paul Pioneer Prons. India boasts of the tallest mountain m the world, the most beautiful building, and the finest echo in the world, the tallest column in tho world, and the largest church in tho world, which are at Delhi. Os course the all absorbing object of interest to tourists is the Taj Mahal. The Taj Is undoubtedly the greatest architectural wonder in the world to-day. The main quadrangle. 1.000 by 1.8(H) feet, is red sandstone, finely carved and trimmed with marble. Upon entering the quadrangle by the main entrance from the preliminary court without, tho visitor finds himself in a charming garden, laid out with trees, shrubs, flowers, fountains, etc., all in keeping with the memorial nature of the place. Looking down on avenues of dark, beautiful cypresses, he sees that miracle of beauty, the Taj. with its pure white walls, inlaid with every kind of Oriental gems, and its.great marble dome towering to supernal heights. It rests upon a marble platform 313 feet square and about twenty feet high, which in turn rests upon a red sandstone platform 964 feet by 329 in dimensions. At each end of the sandstone platform are mosques, themselves rare works of art The Taj was built by Shah Jcluin as a tomb for his favorite begum, Mumtaz Mahal. This woman was evidently a great Indian beauty, if one may judge from her photograph. Her name, Mumtaz. was abbreviated into Taz, and this has become corrupted into the present form, Taj. The work of construction was begun in 1630. and continued for twenty-two years, during which time 20,000 laborers were constantly employed. Its cost in American money would be over $15,000,000. The following inscription, translated from the sarcophagus in which the remains of Shah Jehan now repose beside those of his beloved queen, contains a good deal of information. so that it is worth quoting entire: The magnificent tomb of the King, inhabitant of the two paradises. It is: wan and Khuld, the most sublime sitter on the throne Illeavn (the starry heaven), dweller in Fordos (Paradise). Shah Jehan Padishah-i-Gazi; peace to his remains—heaven is for him. * * * From this transitory world eternity has marched him off to the next. Among the workers who came from divers countries to assist by the building of the Taj were the head master, Isa Muhammad, whose salary was 1.000 rupees a month: the illuminator Amarntind Khan, an inhabitant of Jhiraz, also 1.000 rupees a month; another Master Mason, Muhammad Hanif, from Bagdad, also 1,000 a month. A great many workmen were employed from Turkey, Persia, Delhi, Cuttack, and the Punjab, who received salaries ranging from 100 to 500 rupees a month. (It must be remembered that this wa in a country where wages vary from three to six rupees a month. The white marble enmeftom Jerpore, m Rajpootana; the yellow from the banks of the Nerbudda. A square yard of the latter cost forty rupees. Tfio black marble came from a place called Charkoh, aud cost ninety rupees per square yard. The crystal came from China —o7o rupees per square yard. The jasper from the Punjab. The carnelian from Bagdad. The turquois from Thibet. The agate from J r men. The lapislazuli from Ceylon—l,ls6 rupees per square yard. The coral from Arabia and the Red sea. The garnets from Bandelcund. The diamonds from Pannah, in Bundelcund. The plum-piulding stone from Paisilraere. The rock spar from the Xerbudda. The lodestone from Gwalior. The onyx from Persia. The chalcedony from Villait. The amethyst from Persia. The sapphires from Luuka (Ceylon). And the red sandstone, of which 114,000 car-loads were used, from Fettehporo Sikin. Many other stones were also used in the inlaying of the flowers which have no name in our language. Most of these were received in liou of tribute from different nations under tho Emperor’s rule, or were made presents by the different rajahs and nawabs, voluntarily or otherwise. This illustration serves also to give some idea of the florid and extravagant literary style so common among eastern nations. It might seem that such an inscription is out of place on s\ch i tomb, but as it is in the native characters, i t never bothers tourists much. The immense amount of work involved in bringingthe materials together nan scarcely be imagined, especially in bringing the marble from Jeypore, 100 miles distant, and the sandstone from Fettolipore. It must be remembered that that was in pre-rail road days. There lias been some debate as to where the diamonds were. At present none aro to be discovered. They may have been iplaid in some of the flowers, and have been -picked out by Asiatic and European vandals at the different times when Agra has been “taken. ”

How to Care for Colts. Correspondence Farming World. In order to winter a colt well and have, him come out in the spring a showy, sturdy animal, particular attention must be paid to Iris growth during the first summer and autumn. If the mare's milk is insufficient to keep the colt in good flesh and thriving steadily, it is best to resort at once to cow’s milk. Skimmed milk answers very well for this purpese, especially if a lit tle flax seed jelly oil or cotton seed meal is mixed with it. A heaped table-spoonful night and morning is enough to begin with, when the colt is a month old—this can be gradually increased to a pint per day by the time the colt is six months old, or double this if tho colt is of tho large farm or cart-horse breed. Oats may also be given as soon as they can be oaten. Begin with a half-pint night and morning and gradually increase, according to the age and size of tho animal, to four quarts per day. These, together with the meal above, should l>e supplemented with a couple of quarts of wheat bran night and morning. The latter is excellent to prevent worms and helps to keep the bowels in good condition. Colts should not be permitted to stand on a plank, cement, paved or any hard floor the first year, as these are liable to injuriously affect tho feet and legs. Unless the yard where the colts run in the winter lias a sandy or fine, dry, gravelly soil, it should be well littered, so us to keep their feet dry. Mud or .soft, wettish ground is apt to make tender lioofs. no matter how well bred the colt may be. The reason why the horses in one district grow up superior to those in another in hoof, bone, muscle and action, is because it has a dry. limestone or silicious soil. When the work season comes in the hot days of summer, do not let the colt run with its dam from morning until night; and when the mure comes home from her work heated, allow her to cool off be fore suckling the colt, or milk out a little with your hand, as her overheated milk is liable to give the colt diarrhea. How to Make Bee Gloves. Correspondence American Bee-Joariml. For the benefit of my sister bee-keepers, who. like myself, are so constituted that they cannot work amongst bees with bare hands. I will tell how 1 make my gloves. I take a small piece of unbleached linen jeans, which wears well for the outside, and for lining, use canton flannel with the fluff next to the hand. Cut them after the pattern of the gloves used in Canada for binding grain with thistles in it Dipping the gloves in cold water keeps the hand cool, and the bees will not readily sting through wet gloves. I find that by having linger and thumb fit snugly, 1 can work in them very well. Fechter s Wife. London World. A theatrical journal announces the death of “Lizzie Price Fechter, widow of Charles Feebler,’’ in Florida. This is a mistake. Whatever Miss Lizzie Price may have been, she was not Charles Fechter’s lawful wifo, and could not. therefore, be his widow. Mme. Fechter, well known to and so much esteemed by many En glish friends is alive, and resides in Paris. 1 had a letter from her last week. Tlie Coming Female Mind. Manhattan Magazine.

May 29.—The Pall Ala 11 Gazette do dares that Granville’s request to Turkey to send 15,000 troop3 to the Soudan is more serious far than the scheme of multiple control. The Min isters knew what Granville was doing when he proposed to surrender to France, but they were aghast when they heard the proposal to Turkey to send troops. Turkey, on Tuesday, signified its acceptance of this proposition, and it is not clear how the Cabinet can repudiate Turkey's acceptance without insisting upon Granville’s resignation. The same paper says the Egyptian conference will meet on June 23. Before that time the question of multiple control and the limit of English occupation, concluded between Waddington and Granville, will have been agreed to by the other powers. SIR BARTLE FRERE.

B. in 1859, in consideration of his services during the Indian mutiny, and the thanks of Parliament were twice voted to him. In March, 1862, he was nominated Governor of Bombay, whence he returned to Eng land in 1867. Ho was created a knight grand cross of the order of the Star of India, aud was nominated a member of her Majesty’s Indian council at home. In October, 1872. lie was sent by the British government as special commissioner to eastern Africa, to inquire into the slave trade. Arriving at Zanzibar, March 12, 1873 he induced the Sultan of Zanzibar to sign a treaty abolishing that traffic. Returning to England he was made a member of the Privy Council and president, with the freedom of the city of London. Subsequently he visited India in the suite of the Prince of Wales, and in Jau uary, 1877, was appointed Governor of the < ape of Good Hope, and high commissioner for South Africa. During that year the Kaffir war occurred, and Sir Bartle at once proceeded to British Caffraria. deposed the Gnleka chief and annexed his country to the Queen's dominions. In 1878 this war broke out again with renewed strength Other powerful chiefs combined with those already in insurrection, and what promised to become a most serious outbreak was only finally quelled by the dis play of great firmness and energy on the part of Sir* Bartle, who was but ill supported in his efforts by the British Ministry. For many years he occupied the position of vice-president of the Royal Geographical Society. He was also president o*f the Royal Asiatic Society, and of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. He was also the author of a number of books, most of which treated of the work of the church iu missionary fields.

It is at least satisfactory to remember how very rarely in our later history it lias been found necessary to set the machinery of • the criminal law in motion against a peer. During tlie whole reign of George 111 hut two peers were tried by the House of Lords, one being Lord Mellville, on the impeachment of tlie Com mons, in 1800. But this was more or less of a political prosecution. The other peer was William. Lord Byron, tried for murder and found guilty of manslaughter, in 1705. Eleven years later occurred the last trial of a peeress before the House of Lords, when tlie Duchess of Kings ton, more properly Countess of Bristol, was con victed of bigamy. The three reigns following that of George ill furnish a single instance >f the trial of a peer by his peers, (’barged with wounding Captain Harvey Tucket in a dm ’. Lord Cardigan was acquitted on a technical point on the lOtli of February, 1841 Os trials of peers for offenses cognizable by minor tribunals there have been extremely few during the same period. One, which look place in 1852, ended in a conviction and a sentence of. twelve month's irnprisonrafcnt in tlie House of Correction. Peers are now, in respect of punishment for crimes, on the same footing with commoners. m Great Celebration Resolved Upon.

In Montana, as well as in Great Britian and Ireland, the wealthiest and most independent farmers are those who occupy large farms of good grass lands, and who fatten nu grass and j sell annually large numbers of cattle. This class of farmers are graziers; they keep very little land in tillage. Now in the valley of the Missippi, farmers who have good grass land should devote at least a portion it to' fattening stock. Good two or three-year-old heifers and steers kept on our usual rich pasture for four or five lAoitfhs would probably pay better than any other industry. The money would all come together. and the cost of transportation, compared with that off cereals, tvorultl bo trifling. It is the policy for the Northwest farmer to fatten all of his young stock that is not required for the dairy. Selling stock of any kind before they are made up lor the market is very bad management. and a great deal of it is. lost every year in this way — especially in Minnesota. The numbers that have boon sold this spring to be shipped west from this State i? simply enormous. The worst of it all is the age of irii the stock sold was under two years. How to Make Zalnyom*.
