From the Second Edition of the Sunday Journal. Central American News. Bpeclal Correspondence to the United Press. Panama, Jan. 23. It is stated at Managua that Mr. George M. Pullman, of sleepingcar fame, haa become a large stockholder in the Nicaragua canal. A Guatemala dispatch announces that Don Alfred Quinonez. editor of El Kayo, has been expelled from the republio on account of editorial articles severely criticising General Barillas's administration. A Central American Diet is in session at Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, ratifying the treaties of peace which were, through the good work of Dr. Joee Maria Castro, the Costa Cica plenipotentiary, flee ted between the states of Salvador, Honduras. Nicaragna and Costa Rica, proTiding a permanent court of arbitration to settle differences that may arise between them. The Panama Star and Herald says: "According to late advices from San Jnan del Rorte. Nicaragua canal all airs are looking lip. lioth European and American capitalists ere becoming interested, and holders of Pacific coast woodlands begin to realize that it is the best way to get their lumber to Eastern markets." The progress of the surveys of the international intercontinental railway through Central and South America shows that the country to be traversed is less difficult than was supposed. The route through southern Colombia and Ecuador is believed to be the worst part of the line, and most of that has already been traversed. The people along tho route are reported to be enthusiastic in f&vor of the enterprise. Notwithstanding ollicial statements to the contrary, private advices from Guayaquil, received by steamer arriving in Panama on the22d inst., recount great exeitement and several bloody riots as having occurred during tho late elections. The followers of Cordero, the government candidate, were armed with rilies; those of Ponce with clubs and pistols. Only twenty of the active combatants were seriously wounded during the first day's riot, several of whom afterwards died. Stray bullets, however, killed a number of innocent women and children, and this greatly increased the excitement, and further clashes, even more serious, afterwards occurred, in which many more were killed or wounded, among them several politicians of note. True to his promise. President Flores did not permit either military or police interference at the polls.

A revolution is believed to be imminent in Costa Rica, where the Conservative administration with a depleted treasury staring them in tho faoe are making desperate efforts to raise a new loan in London.

Peru, a woman, convinced of her husband's iniidelity, killed her six children and then drowned herself in a barrel of molasses. An Unpopular Measure. Copyright, ISS2. by the New York Associated Press. 1 Berlin-. Jan. fa The debate on the education bill in the lower house of the Prussian Diet to-day was conducted with less acrimony on all sides than has previously marked the discussions of the measure. The debate was closed by agreeing to refer the bill to a committee of twenty-eight. In the early stages of the discission, Herr Richer and other Freisinnige leaders opposed the remi tting of the bill to the committee until tae House, in a plenary sitting, either auproved or rejected the leading clauses of the measure. The Freisinnige leaders had reason to fear that the bill, after disappearing from the House, would be handled privately by a prejudiced committee, and would be returned with its substance unaltered. Tho National Liberals shared the Freisinnige leaders' reluctance against allowing the bill to goto the committee as long as the government appeared to be determined upon agreeing to no compromise. Chancellor Von Capnvi'e speech on the bill yesterday showed no sign of any disposition toward conciliation. Since then, however, private negotiations in which Herr Miqucl. the Russian Minister of Commerce. Chancellor Von Caprivi and Herr Von liennissen were concerned, have given rise to the hope that the government will . absent to so remodel the clauses as to divest the measure of its most obnoxious features.' This departure isdue to the government realizing the strength of the coalition of the Moderate Conservatives, National Liberals and Freisinniges. The Chancellor calculated that out of the 428 members constituting the House the bill would get the support of 22. consisting of Centrists, Conservatives and several independents. This estimated majority has been reduced by the threatened defection of a number of Conservatives. Doubtless the government can still really force the measure through with a depleted majority, but it would result In a rupture in the Ministry, the in
No Patent Medicine Mystery about Cleveland's Baking .Powder, The composition is given on every labeL
evitable dissolution of the Diet and the formation of a strong and united Liberal party, backed by popular agitation, which would eventually overturn the government and lead to a general reaction against the Emperor's policy. So to-day Chancellor Von Caprivi altered his tone of defiant hostility toward the National Liberals. After declaring that religion and education were Inseparable, be denied desiring to domineer over the Liberals. It was the Liberal coalition, he said, that aimed to domineer over the government. The National Liberals designed to nee the bill at a lever in forming a great Liberal party, but, he added. "I accept the conciliatory attitude of to-day's party organs, and 1 now think the menace to create an opposing coalition only a soan-bnbble that hasalready burst." Herr Friedbtirg. a National Liberal, replying to the Chancellor, said that a coalition against the government was a mere hypothesis. It might happen if the defenseof religious libertiesthrew the parties together. Herr Rickert, the Freisinnige leader, declared himself as opposed to anv compromise. It was impossible, he said, to alter the measure so as to make it acceptable. Jf ever it became a la w it would prove useless as a weapon against the social democracy. It would ruin education, and would place the schools nnuer the rule of ecclesiasta which were less concerned with genuine culture than with enforcing their belief in dogmatic creeds. His party was ready to oppose the bill to the bitter end. The government, he declared, would find itself face to face with an unceasing conflict with the best elements of the nation, whose life depended upon the results of the struggle. Chancellor Von Caprivi, upon the conclusion of Herr Rickert's address, again arose and commented on the opposition of the National Liberal aa implying only three possible conditions. These conditions, he said, were that either the government must enter into a lasting compact with the National Liberals an impossibility in Prussia, where the actions of the government depended on the King or the party was to take the government in tow a condition that the government woold opfiose to the last, or the party must allow tself to be towed by the government, an arrangement be would not enggesttotbe National Liberals. The whole tenor of the Chancellor's remarks indicated his desire to avoid a final rupture with the National Liberals. The House is now adjourned till Wednesday. In the meantime the situation is one of suspended crisis. Minister lioetticher and Herr Forth will resign, with HerrMiQuel, if the Emperor does not allow the Chancellor to assent to crucial amendments. Minister Von Zedlitz alone in the Cabinet urges that no concessions be made. Aia Minister after the King's own heart. Von Zedlitz has been decorated with the insignia of the order of the Red Eagle of the first class. It is probable that the issue of the struggle will be to precipitate the general election, which is due in the antnmn. The Liberals are confident that the bulk of the Prussian electorate will vote against the government. Both Women indicted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. SO. To-day, at 1:S0 o'clock, the grand jury returned a true bill against Miss Alice Mitchell and Lillie Johnson, charging them with the murder of Freda Ward and with the stabbing of Miss Jo Ward, the dead girl's sister. The joint indictment of Mies Mitchell and Miss Johnson was more than was expected. When the new was conveyed to Miss Johnson that she, too, would have to answer for Alice Mitchell's act the young woman became frantic and it was hours before she regained composure. Miss Mitchel, however, paid no attention to the fact that she would have to fight for her life, but turned away, walked out to the landing and viewed the other prisoners. Miss Johnson will make an extraordinary effort to secure bail but to-night it was learned that Miss Mitchell's frieLds will take a new tack. They propose to ask for a writ de lunatico inquircndo at once and try to get Miss Mitchell adjudged a lunatio and thus avoid the publicity of a trial. The State, however, will make a determined effort to have her put on trial for her life. Though young, and beautiful, and rich in her own right and by prospective inheritance, publio opinion is daily growing stronger against Miss Mitchell. Every woman in Memphis, except her mother and sisters, think she should be hanged, and an afternoon paper went so far as to advocate
editorially to-day that she be made to suffer the death penalty for her crime. It was learned to-day that both Miss Mitchell and Miss Johnson had boxes at the postofhee where mail was sent to Miss Mitchell, addressed Alvln Mitchell, in the writing of Freda Ward. Miss Mitchell has been known to address Miss Ward as Mistress Freda Mitchell. Those who assert that Miss Mitchell is not insane strongly advocate the theory that she killed Freda, Mrs. Valkmer's youngest and favorite sister, in order to be avenged on that woman for separating them and making Freda promise not to speak to Miss Mitchell during her stay in Memphis. Miss Mitchell hud been practicing in the use of a razor for several days, as was learned to-day, and her teaoher was a negro barber. There are two counts in the indictment, one charging that the accused murdered Freda, alias Frederica Ward, with a razor, and the other indicating the weapon used as "an instrument unknown to the grand jury." The object of presenting two counts is to guard against the possibility of the defense showing that the cutting was done with some instrument other than a razor, it may be stated that the razor used by Miss Mitchell has not yet been found. The routine of the life of the two young girls at the jail remains unchanged. No one except members of their families is allowed to see them. ' Democratic Caucus. Washington. Jan. CO. The Democratio caucus which was called for to-night for the purpose of considering the action to be taken upon the proposed code of rules, was very poorly attended. When the appointed hour (:H0) arrived there were cot a dozen members in the hall and the new arrivals came in very slowly. Chairman Holman arrived in due time, but. after glancingover the large array of empty seats, did not immediately call the assemblage to order. Gradually the members dropped in, ono by one, bat at no time before 8 o'clock did their attendance exceed seventy-live. At that hour Chairman Holman rapped for order. The rollcall showed the attendance of 121 members, more than a majority of the caucus, and the f ollowiug otlicer were elected to serve during the ensuing Congress: Mr. Holman of Indiana chairman, Messrs. Alderson of West Virginia and Robertson of Louisiana secretaries. Althoush there was no organized opposition to these oflicers, there was a good deal of speech-making indulged in. The discussion was confined to a consideration of the proposed rules, and especially that which confers certain powers upon the committee on rules. After a few rive minutes' speeches bad been delivered with perfect good nature. Speaker Crisp took the floor for twenty-live minutes in support of the code of rules recommended by the committee on rules. The greater part of his time was consumed in answering questions relative to the effect the rule conferring certain privileges on the committee on rules would have upon the transaction of business by the House. His remarks were vigorous and commanded deep attention. After a great deal of debate the rule was approved by a vote of 80 to 6, and though some opposition was raised on the ground that there was no quorum, the caucus adjourned. Warm Words tor Harrison. Crecial to the Indlanarohs Journal. Makiox, lnd., Jan. SO. A mass-meeting of Republicans was held here this afternoon to determine the time and manner of choosing candidates for county offices for the coming campaign. Sweetser's Opera-house was crowded, and the meeting was one of the most enthusiastic ever held in this city. It was decided by an overwhelming majority to nominate by delegate convention. and Saturday, Feb. 12. is the time fixed. The basis of representation is to be one delegate for every ten votes cast for Trnsler at the last election. Speeches were roado by Governor Steele. 11. J. Panlus, Hon. Hiram Rrownlee. Dr. Francis, L. H. Ranks, George A. Osborne and others. Every mention of President Harrison's (imo was received with enthusiasm. The
sentiment of the convention was unmistakably and emphatically for Harrison. The following resolutions were adopted with shouts of approval: The Kepublicans of Grant county. In massconvention assembled, believe this occasion Is one that would bo incomplete without some formal wonJs of approval of the administration of oar honored national chief executive, Benjamin Harrison; therefore be it liesolved. That we heartily indorse the administration of President Benjamin Ilarrison. and sincerely believe that his conduct of publio aitairs Las resulted In the greatest possible good to the whole people. iteAolved, That In our chief executive the people have a President In whose integrity, achlevemenu and patriotic Americanism they can take a Just pride; and Jteoolved, That In his wisdom to deal successfully with questions of public policy within our domain, as affecting our relation with other countries, in so far aa Ilea within his power, we have full and absolute continence. Resolved, That the Republicans of Grant county, the banner county m point of Republican cains in the election Of 1R0, send creeling through this assembly to their former distinguished fellow-citizen, and assure him, as InUianians, of their continued regard and increasing admiration for hi conspicuous service: as chief executive of the Nation. A reference to Major George W. Steele as a prospective candidate for the governorship elicited from him the statement that be was not at present an aspirant for that office. Chilians Have Calmed Down. Santiago de Chili, Jan. CO. Late on Thursday last a very brief synopsis of President Harrison's second message to the American Congress relative to Chili's position in the dispute with the United States was received here and in a short time tho news spread through the city that there was no further danger of war, the tenor of the brief telegraphic reDorts showing that the United States was willing to accept Chili's apology. President Harrison's first message had caused great excitement here, where its warlike utterances were thor
oughly discussed in the cafes and other places of publio resort, but the second message caused a revulsion of. feeling, and the people generally became much calmer, and expressions of satisfaction were heard that the dispute had been amieably settled through diplomatic channels. For the first time in four months the Chilian press is publishing respectful comments concerning Mr. Egau, the United States minister, and other American officials, who have heretofore been the objects of many vituperative attacks, and it is thought tho Chilian newspapers wllT henceforth be more circumepect in their utterances regarding Amoricc and Americans. Congress adjourned to-day. Several members of the Chilian Cabinet have stated to the Associated Press correspondent that the , reason the recall of Mr. Egan, the United States minister, was requested last week, was that he had notified Secretary Blaine that the Chilian government had issued a safe conduct for refugees and had afterwards withdrawn it. The newspapers here publish a dispatch, from Mr. Maine to Mr. Egan, received today, in which the United States Secretary of State says that Mr. Egan had never informed him that a safe conduct had been issued for the refugees. Senor Pereira. Chilian Minister of Foreign Afiairs. has thanked Mr. Egan warmly for having given him a copy of the dispatch mentioned. Mr. Egan received to-night from Mr. Blaine a dispatch, the import of which is similar to that of the message sent to Congress by President Harrison on Thursday. In this Mr. Blaine says that the President is satisfied with the withdrawal of Senor Matta'a telegram and the request for Mr. Egan's recall, and hopes that the afiair of the attack on the Baltimore's men, in Valparaiso, will be settled amicably. The contents of this latter dispatch will bo conveyed to Minister Pereira by Mr. Egan on Monday next. England's Way. London'. Jan. SO. An incident of England's treatment of inferior peoples is now being recorded in the press, which is in order as an accompaniment of the severe comments of the British press upon America's course toward Chili. Four British gunboats recently ascended the Gambia river, in Africa, a distance of 2S0 miles, to chsstise a negro chief who was accused of some hostile act, though the proof of his guilt was not complete. Three hundred armed Bn tlshers surrounded the chief's village and began shooting. The chief, a man of great daring and fine physique, boldly advauced li&e a veritable umslopagas, forcing a way through the enemy, and galloping away unharmed amid a shower of bullets. His followers scattered and made efforts to escape as best they might. The pursuing sailors kept up a merciless firing upon the almost defenseless blacks, and killed fifteen of them. They then burned the huts of the village and proudly retired, singing Rule Britannia." This story would seem incredible did it not come from an excellent source. The Star, in publishing the details, indulges in sarcasm, and remarks that this noble achievement of British arms "will teach niager potentates not to cock their snouts at tho British lion." Milk and Meat Not Affected. Trenton, N. J.. Jan. SO. Dr. Henry F. Formad, one of the leading pathologists of the country, haa made an examination of the milk and meat of tuberculous catt le, at therequestof the State Dairy Commission er, and takes a decided stand in opposition to the prevailing views on the subject. He says that he is convinced that the dangers from the use of milk and meat of cattle affected by tuberculosis aremuch overdrawn. The doctor says authorities differ as to the eflect of the use of milk and meat of cattle a (Tec tod by tuber" culosis, but the examinations just made show that thedangorhas been greatly overestimated. Experiments were made on some guinea pigs, which were inoculated in the anterior chamber of the eye with samples of milk, but after eight weeks no tuberculous bacilli were discovered. Dr. Formad also made an examination of the meat of cattle affected with the disease, but has never been able to find any bacilli. He thinks the only objection to the use of this milk is that it is less nourishing than the milk of healthy cows. Thero is little or nodangerof catching the disease from it. Mr. Smith lu Trouble. Chicago. Jan. SO. F. VV. Smith, one of the bailiffs in the Cronin murder case who was indicted for attempting to bribe jurors, was arrested yesterday on a charge of embezzlement. The amount involved is over $00,000, scattered among twohundred creditors from Maine to California. In October last Mr. George Kitzler opened a wholesale hardware and crockery goods house at No. 725 Milwaukee avenue, and employed Smith to conduct the establishment. Eight hundred dollars had been placed ft Kitzler's credit, with the Chicago Trust and Savings Bank. With this amount back of them, they managed to purchase over 1 30,000 worth of goods. In the majority of cases the bills with each firm did not amount to over $100. although some of the consignments exceeded $l,0u0. Dec. 3 Smith hired an auctioneer to sell off tho stock. When au assignment was made a few days later the amount of stock on hand did not exceed $10,000. Kitzler is also under arrest. Smith had gone to New Haven, Conn., but by a ruse the deteotlves induced him to return to Chicago. No War on the Texas Border. Galveston, Tex.. Jan. 80. A special from a reliable correspondent at San Diego to-day says: "About all we see here of the Garza affair is the troop of Captain ChaseTroop D. Third United States Cavalrv who come every day for mail and forage. Garza's home is in Neuces county. Soldiers and rangers are camped in Neuces county. We see a war correspondent of New York, Chicago, or Washington occasionally, but no fighting, nor do we hear of any. About all there is in the reports about Garzas is 'something will happen soon." San Antonio. Tex., Jan. SO. Captain Bourke, who while in pursuit of GArza was himself captured and detained by Mexican authorities, is here, and says he will try to capture Garza, but does not anticipate succeeding in this until the grass rises sufficiently to nourish tho horses of Garza's men, who are scattered into small squads of live or six. and will not come together again until the grass is good. More War-Ships Maj lie Dalit. New York, Jan. SO. Naval Constructor Philip Hichborn. U. S. N., was at the Astor Houne to-day. He said there could be no doubt of the fact that the recent war scare had aroused the people of the United States to the urgent necessity of providing for the publio defense. "The temper of Congress," he said, "favors an appropriation to finish tho construction work now under way and to provide for the building of two or three more warships after the style of the Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts. They are the .highest types of the modern battle-ships. They are larger, better armored and more
effective than either tho Maine or New York. They have large coal capacity, and that is just what the navy wants. There are in the navy now thirteen monitors. I don't believe that more will be constructed, but it is certain that Con cress will provide for overhauling and fitting them out so as to make them available, particularly for the defense of sea-ports." All Rescued but Two. New York, Jan. SO. The scnooner Everett Webster, of Boston, arrived at Vineyard Haven. Mass.. yesterday, with Cant Clark, of the tug-boat Webster, which was driven out to sea with four scows on Tuesday. The tug-boat, after becoming .unmanageable, was knocked about by the 'storm until she finally sunk, twenty miles east of New Jersey. Captain Clark got out bis life-boats and left the ill-fated tug just as she was sinking. The small boats were sighted by the schooner on her way north, and she came to their rescue. There were ten men on the tug in addition to the captain.' There are still two men not rescued out of tho number who were blown out to sea. They were on tho missing scow, and it is now feared that they have been lost. They may have been picked up also, however, as almost all hope was (riven up on Friday for the Webster and her crew. The search has not been abandoned. Flooded "with Hogus Coin. Lima, O., Jan. 0. Northern Ohio is being flooded with counterfeit money of 25cent and 81 denominations. The discovery was made to-day. Banks throughout the State communicated with one another and to their amazement found that there is scarcely an institution between Cleveland, Toledo and other points which have not been made victims of the rascals. The counterfeits are dated 1877, and are pronounced by experts as the best ever put out They are exact counterparts ' of the real articles in weight, size and design and the banks have been made easy
victims. The government has detailed its best men on the case, and they are now putting forth their efforts to locate the mint, which it is thought is located south of Toledo, in the oil district.

Minneapolis, Minn., J an. SO. A dispatch dated Minneapolis, Jan. 25, to the eifect that the Northwestern Millers' Bussian relief movement would fail to materialize, is pronounced by Commissioners ' Edgar and Keeves an unmitigated and malicious falsehood. The dispatch stated that only 230.000 pounds had been obtained, whereas nearly three million pounds had been subscribed, the greater portion thereof being now actually en route to New York, where storage had been arranged for. Subscriptions are coming in rapidly, and the total amount necessary to fill the ship is practically secured. A Mexican Messiah Arrested. Guerrero. Mex., J an. 0.

WAS TICS IX A FREE MASON? . v A Ret of 810,000 Offered in Regard to That Question False Documents Circulated. New York Tribune. The memory is still fresh of the uproar recently raised in the French Chamber by the declaration of the Speaker, M. Floonet, that Pius IX also was a Free Mason. This extra parliamentary exclamation on tbe part of the fcpeaker was intended to calm the Clerical Deputies, who claimed furiously that if laws were to forbid religious associations the same laws should be applied to Free Masons' societies. Since that time a fierce war has raged in European, and especi ally in French and Italian papers, in respect to the truth or the falsehood of M. Floquet's statement. The latest and apparently most decisive document about the question was published in La Patrie, a Conservative "organ of Paris, oh Jan. 11. 1S02. It is a letter addressed to M. Eugene Guyon. director of that paper, by M. Leo Taxil, now a fervent Catholic, but formerly an ardent revolutionist, afree-thinKer, ana well known by the many books he ha9 published, both in favor of and against religion. Here are some extracts lrom his letter to La Patrie: "Several papers continue maintaining that Signor Adriano Lemmi. grand master of the Supreme Free Mason Council ox Kome, has in his possession documents establish ing the fact that the predecessor of Leo XI 11 had aft hated himself with Free Masonrv during the month of August, 18oHJ. A Masonio organ of Paris even carried the impudence so far as to reproduce a iaobi mile of the alleged Masonio diploma of Pius 1A, and that audacious falsehood was certified to as conform ing to the original by a 'three-points' brother, who signs: 'Henri vaudemont. Second Watchman of the Lodge Jerusalem of the Egyptian Valleys, at the Great Orient of France. 1 ... 1 havo made a careful investigation and discovered who is the manufacturer of the diploma, lie is Brother .

Leon Marie Louis Bigot, ex-editor-in-chief of. tbe Phrea de Bretagne, at Lorient, and a member of the Morbihanese Lodge 'Nature and Philosophy On his return from a voy age in Havana ne conceived tne idea of circulating in the lodges of the Great Orient of France the copy, which he affirmed to be authentic, of the diploma of Jean Marie Mastai Ferretti (Pins IX), the diploma bearing tbe date of tbe first tortnight in August, 18S0, and delivered by a lodge at Palermo. The document was said to have been cooled from the archives of a lodge at Nuremberg. "Such is the origin of the whole story. The Great Orient of France was not long in discovering the mystification and falsehood, for, the Secretary-general .. Thevenot, whom I have known intimately, investigated the matter and asked information from the Great Orient of Bavaria. But the Hose Croix and the Knights of Kadosch of Cadet street thought it good to permit the legend to become accredited. "As to the Great Orient of Italy, it never had but a copy of that other alleged copy. I saw it in 1S62 in the hands of Count Panciani, tbe lieutenant of Great Master Lemmi. and he assured ine that he considered the document as apocrypbicaL "Consequently, if Signor Adriano Lemmi has declined to hold my bet of 810.000, for the benefit of the poor of Milan, it is because he understood that I oould easily demonstrate the absolute and material falsehood ot the ridiculous document. While I was trying to find out who was the first coun terfeiter. Mgr. Luigi Tesorieri, Bishop of imola, consulted the archives ol bis diocese. Let us not forget that in ISC'J Pius IX was occupying the episcopal seat at Imola; and that the alleged diploma is dated in the first fortnight of August. lbS9. Then, from the diocese's archives, it is shown that Mgr. Jean Marie Mastai did not leave tho town of Imola during that period of time, and that he signed there many protocols, and presided over many religious ceremonies, notably on July Ha, and on Ang. 2. f, 9. 10. 15 and 16' After the publication of M. Taxil's letter. the becolo, of Milan, published, at last, a declaration of Signor Adriano Lemmi. the grand master of Italian masonry, stating that: "There was always a Tumor that Pius IX belonged to Free Masonry, or to the Carbonari Order; but we have never been able to secure a serious document proving that he had been initiated in the 'Vendue,' or in the Italian lodges." Scarfs for the Bed. New York Fun. Scarfs for laying across the bod over the silk down quilts now so much nsed are made abont eighteen Inches wide, and long enough to hang well over the sides of the bed. They may be of darned netting, of drawn work, of linen sprayed with Dres den china designs in wash silk or embroid ered in a border like the one from which our detail of work is shown. The quilt is of pale blue china ttlk, and the scaxf ? i !.. Tl.U I a. 1 i Ol wuiio uoiioa Buveiing einuroiuereu 'With a border of chestnut blossoms worked in short and long stitch in a pale shade of rose, with leaves wrought in the same way in bronze' greens aud browns, and the background to the entire depth of the pat tern darned in two shades of blue. The pattern is completed before tbe darning is commenced, and the latter is done in long stitches in the upper side, with very short ones below, all in wash silks. The bolster may be covered with the Bolton sheeting or linen wrought on each end in the same style, and tbe scarf thrown across tbe bed toward the foot. 1 he pattern is very effective also as a border for towels or for the blue denim portieres so well nsed. The darned background on tbe bine is more effective in red or gold heavy silk floss. The Horse's Foot. Pittsburg Fost. Senator Stanford, the noted breeder, save that he picks his brood mares mainly by the formation of tbe head, as "no horse can trot without a head.". The foot is equally as valuable, and yet it is often the most neglected part of our farm animals. Shoeing is necessary for most horses, but many country blacksmiths make bad work of it. .banners who make a study of the formatiou of their horses' feet are better lodges of the shape of tbe shoe than many of those men who care more for their pay than the quality of their work. Not all are careless or ignorant, bnt it should bo our business to learn whether they -are or not. If possible, every horse should be allowed to go unshod aftw weeks during the year. Usually shoes are left on too long if the work is well done. When horses are left idle in stable, during the winter, all shoes should be removed. Above all things it is cruel to let a horse stand with only one or three shoes. The hoofs of horses should be cleaned out often, as tbe accumulation of manure may cause disease. A dressing of oil of tar is always cood. The hoof should be held np and the oil poured in and given time to penetrate.' Highly Interesting. New York Commercial Advertiser. A very fashionable present now is a por-ridge-bowh Oatmeal, or hominy, or anv kind of spoon victuals may be eaten in it. It the recipient of the poiridge-bowl does not go in for that sort of thins, the bowl may be put upon a little shelf as a diningroom ornament. Expect Too Much for Their Money.

So It Would. Kew York Commercial Advtrtlser. It would be extremely interesting just now to ascertain what Mr. Cleveland says to himself while sticking bait on his hook down on Joe Jefitrson'i plantation.
