He is said to have been a trusted organizer of the Anarchists, and the police here expressed the opinion that Bourdin when he met his death was on his way through. Greenwich Park to the famous Greenwich observatory with the Intention of blowing up that lnsti- . tutlon. One theory in regard to the Greenwich Park explosion is that Bourdin was trying an experiment with the explosive with a view to subsequent action on the continent. This theory is based on the fact that foreign refugees had resolved to abstain from outrages In the metropolis, which was the only asylum open to them. Bourdin was a brother-in-law of editor Samuels, of the Commonwealth. The members of the Autonomic Club are very much surprised to learn that Bourdin had 13 in money in his pockets, and they cannot Imagine where he pot this money. The police late to-night, under the lead of Chief Inspector Melville, took possession of the Autonomic Club and placetl a detective at the door, who, in the course of the night admitted single and in pairs eighty foreimers, most of whom were Germans, Bohemians or Dutchmen, who had sought admission, ignorant of the fact that police were on the inside. All the prisons were examined by Melville and forced to disclose their identity and to produce their passports. All of them answered the questions fut to them readily. The police had trouble a arresting several of the men. One of the frisoners, a Frenchman, by the name of 'axole, on finding himself trapped, rushed towards the door in an endeavor to escape. 2Ie was seized and a tierce struprle folowed. When the man was secured he Shouted "Ions live Anarchy," and indulged In execrations of the police. At raidnisht, after all the prisoners had been examined and the particulars taken, they were allowed to depart. Ldhelern Mulcted. NICE. Feb. 16.

The Count claimed l,Juo dam- . age and the publication of the judgment In forty newspapers. The court to-day sentenced General Browne and Mrs. Reynaud to pay a fine of 1,0) francs each, and, in addition, to pay the Count 1,000 francs damages and to publish the Judgment in the newspapers of Nice and Mentone.

The relations between France and Portugal are strained, owing to questions regarding French investments. The French government has recalled its minister at Lisbon to confer over the matter. The Queen Recent and Cabinet here have discussed the departure f the French minister from Lisbon, and tho situation 13 regarded as lelng serious. The general opinion expressed in political circles is that the situation in Portugal resembles that which necessitated the intervention of Spain in the affairs of Portugal fifty years afro, and the opinion is also expressed that Spain should immediately consider the means to be taken in order to prevent Portugal from becoming1 the center of permanent political agitation. French. Duel with Swords. PARIS, Feb. 16. A duel with swords was t ought to-day between ex-Mlnlster Waldeck-Rousseau and Count Flsch de Fels. The ex-minister was slightly wounded in the arm.

Yellow Fever on Board the Cruiser Newark at Rio.

The Ship Ordered to Cooler Waters Maiiy Cases on Ships of Other Fleets American iioat Fired On. WASHINGTON', Feb. 1G.-There is no longer doubt that yellow, fever has made its appearance ia the United States fleet at Rio, and that tho Newark is now a fever ship. A cablegram received here from Admiral B.-nham at IV.o reads: "One man on the Newark la ill with yellow fever. I have transferred him to the hospital. I shall eendv the New ark to Itlo de Plata," Uy thU time the Newark i3 probably well on her way to a cooler southern port. She will probably make her destination Maldonado, at the mouth of the Itiver Tlata. While the Newark has acquired the reputation of a fever ship, thi3 is not likely to be as serious a matter as it would have been In the days of the old nivy, when a vessel, once tainted with yellow fever, could never again safely remain in tropic waters during the hot season. New processes of disinfection and the substitution of steel for wood in the hull and many of the fittings of the ships have made it possible to exterminate the last fever germ within a short time after the infected vessels arrive in healthful climes. Minister Mendonea does not fear that the present, outbreak of fever at Rio will be very serious in Its results, and certainly not so far as the naval vessels are concerned, for In their case It is entirely feasible, by rigid sanitary regulations and keepinff the men closely aboard ship, to prevent the appearance of the fever on shipboard. A dispatch from Rio de Janeiro says: Yellow fever Is on the increase here; there were sixty deaths from that disease yesterday in addition to fifteen deaths from other fevers. The captain of an Australian war ship In these waters died to-day, and there are a number of other cases on board the same ship. The Portuguese war ship here is also Infected with yellow fever, and the situation is prowlng serious so far as foreigners are concerned. Ths American war ships only communicate with the shore by means of a hired tu.r, and the greatest precautions are observed on board all the ships. Admiral llenham has conferred with th? commanders of the American vessels, and nothing will bo left undone which can lead to preserving the health of the American sailors. The IlritIsh war ship Racer also ha 3 some cae3 of fever on board, and the merchant vessels at thl3 port are reported to have several members of their crews sick under suspicious circumstances. The following dispatch from Admiral Benham was re?eiveJ late th!a afternoon. It is dated at Rio Janeiro to-day, and directed to Secretary Herbert: "As a precautionary measure against fever I will send all vessels, except the flagship, just outside the harbor within call. Kvery precaution has been taken. Health of ofllcers and crew is good." Fired nt an American Lannch. NEW YORK, Feb. 15. The Herald's Rio de Janeiro correspondent says: The rebel war ship Marte, lying in the bay here, fired 'three shots at one of the launches of the United States man of war Newark last Tuesday nlfjht as the launch was returning to the Newark from the shore. Fortunately the Marte's gunners were unable to hit their target, and no harm was clone. The captain of the Marte says he did not know the launch belonged to the man of war or to any American ship. The Brazilian Minister of Marine has gone to Rahla to try to put an end to dissensions among the officers of President PeIxoto's fleet at Ilahia. TRAXSMISSiSSilTI CONGRESS. Resolutions Adopted in Favor of Annexation of Hawaii. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16. Among the resolutions adopted by the Transmlsslsslppl Congress, which Is In session here, were the following: "Resolved, That the great Interests of thi3 country on the Pacific coast, both in peace and war, re-iulre that the Hawaiian Islands shall not be liable to bo subjected to the domination or influence of any foreign power. x "Resolved, That any attempt to force on the Hawaiian community the restoration of the arbitrary monarchical government of the late Queen is repugnant to the sense of justice and republican principles of the American people. "Resolved. That the opportun'.tv to further American interests and to "insure for said islands a free, permanent and humane government afforded by their n:plication for annexation, presents a settlement cf the Hawaiian question by peaceful acquisition and a spread of American institutions which it would be foolish and wrong to decline." Resolutions were also adopted favoring free coinage, government construction of the Nicaragua canal and for equal suffrage. HANGED IX EFFIGY. Figures of Secretary Morton and His Son Strung Up at Nebraska City. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Feb. 15.-J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Apiculture, and his youngest son, Carl, were hanged In eftlsy last night in the city park, and this mcrnlns the figures whirled about before a strong north wind. The stuffed clothing bore a placard which stated, in effect, that the figures represented the remains of the Nebraska City Iemo"mil marching club. The city has teen greatly excited all day over the affair, and strenuous efforts are leing made to discover th guilty parties. The cause for the outrage is supposed to be dissatisfaction j'.mong a few Democrats over recent apointments made by the Secretary. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Testimony Unfavorable to Her Character Taken at Lexington.

LEXINGTON. Ky., Feb. 16. Interest in th I'ollard-Rrecklnridge case Increases. J. D. Pollard, brother of Madeline, was here Wednesday, and held long consultations with those friendly to his sister. Mis3 Pollard will not attend the examination, as she will not be needed. Charles H. Stoll, senior counsel for Col. Breckinridge, i3 here. He said: "I left Cincinnati after having examined all the witnesses except one Sister Agnes, of St. Joseph s Foundling Asylum who la ill at present. The court adjourned sine die, and will hear no more testimony unless Sister Asnes recovers sufficiently, when we may take her testimony. This may not be necessary, as Mr. Desha Rrtcklnridge has a written statement from her in which sh? denies that Miss Pollard was ever in the asylum. Miss Pollard claims that she had a boy baby In it. The plaintiff has failed to prove a single allegation made in her petition, ard that, too, in the places she claimed tha testimony would be most damaging." The attorneys in the case were all day engaged in taking testimony. Four witnesses for the defense were examined. Catesby Hawkins, a carp2nter of Frankfort, said he had known witness from her cMldhood. He told of a party at which a mock marriage was periormed between Alex. Julian, brother of Mavor Ira Julian, of Frankfort, and Madge Pollard. He said they all had been drinking, and that the couplo was then taken upstairs and put to bed. Hawkins said she was smitten with Julian at the time. Tills was when she was about sixteen years old. The second witness was John O'Toole, resident farmer at the asylum, whers James Rodes, Miss Pollard's protector, was employed. He testified that Rodes wanted him to lend him money to give her. He refused to lend it. Rodes told him, she was continually wanting money. In the afternoon the first witness called was Mollle Shlndlebower, now of Memphis, Tcnn., formerly of Lexington. She was partly raised by. an aunt of Miss Pollard. She said that Madge associated with young men of bad reputation, taking rides with them at night, often staying out till 11 o'clock. Her conduct was such as to cause the neighbors to talk about her. Minn Pollnrd Objects to Delay. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. The attorneys for Miss Pollard, In the Criminal Court today, stated that they objected to any postponement after next week of the trial of tho suit against Representative Brecklnridtre. The court announced that to-morrow it would hear both sides on the question of postponement, but as the Congressman's managing counsel is away sick a postponement is likely. A KENTUCKY WAR. Tho 31ayor and Editors of Lexington Call Each Other Hard Names. L.EXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 1G. Rad feeling between the Mayor and editors of this city culminated to-day when Mayor Duncan published a card denouncing tho editors of the Transcript as "corrupt by nature, a coward by Instinct, malicious by disappointment and a liar In general." The editor of the Press has had occasion to differ with editor Roberts, and in his paper to-day says: "Were the editor of the Reader capable of feeling the indignity and disgrace of a slap in the face, a kick, or a public cowhiding lere would be some satisfaction In bringing him to a personal settlement Rut in the light of past events, which have shown him to be without a spark of self-respect or manhood, and that he persistently seeks refuce behind the cowardly policy of nonresistance any gentleman would scorn to dirty hist shoe by bringing It in contact with such a contemptible craven-hearted cur. An opportunity, however, may be given the Leader editor to substantiate some of his charges against Mayor Duncan." EVA 31 A NX DEFEATED. Decision Against the Alleged Wife of Robert Ray Hamilton. NEW YORK, Feb. 16. Eva L. Mann, who claimed to be the wife Of Robert Ray Hamilton, has again suffered defeat in her tforts to establish that she i3 the widow of Hamilton. When she appeared before the surrogate and sought to produce evidence against the will, which did not provide for her, it was denied that she was his widow. She showed she had married Hamilton In New Jersey In January, 18S7, before a clergyman, but the other slds showed by clrcuir.3tnneial evidence that she and Joshua Mann had lived as man and wife. The surrogate held that a previous common law marriage had been established with Mann. From that decision she appealed to the general term of the Supreme Court which has Just held against her.

The Sovereign State Not a Success as a Public Barkeeper.

Charleston Citizens Defy Both tho Governor and the Dispensary Law Progress of an Experiment. Charleston (S. C.) Letter in Detroit Tribune. For more than a century South Carolina has been a political storm center of the Union, and to-day one of the most Intense political hurricanes the State has ever known Is sweeping across It, the old city by the sea being", as ever, the central point of the storm. The old State is glng through a most ypensational period, and this time the people who reside in the cities and in the town3 are arrayed agulnst the people who live In the country. For the first time in the history of the State the people are divided, and In the division one part Is de-' voted to Governor Tillman, while the other element is bitterly opposed to him. Between the two elements there 13 no middle ground, and so intense is the feeling that an outbreak Is Imminent at any minute. In Charleston, the hub of the State, the point about whleh all things political, social, moral or commercial swln;r. there is a tinder box, and It is only a spark that is necessary to Etart one of the most brilliant displays of fireworks, too. that may result in the death of many of the best people of the State and i?i the destruction of much valuable property. It's the dispensary law now In operation, or rather presumed to be in operation throughout the State, that has caused the feeling between the Governor and the citizens of Charleston, and, in fact, the citizens of all towns of Carolina. The law, by Governor Tillman's decree, is said to be a tfood one, and by his declaration it is said to be In force all over the State except in Charleston, and by that same decree the city by the sea is declared to be in rebellion, aa It were, against the laws of the State. Rut the people of Charleston deny that they are In rebellion against the laws of the State, asserting that the laws governing the sale of liquor are unconstitutional, and that no law is broken by those who sell or those who buy a drink. ALMOST IMPOSSIRLE ATTEMPT. An old habit, it is said, is a hard thing to break, and any attempt to deprive the Charlestonian of his drink, be that drink what it may, is almost an impossible accomplishment. When the dispensary act went into effect and thereby the saloons of the city were closed, the people found themselves forced to the county dispenser for a toddy, ar.d in securing that toddy they wera compelled to take more than one, and were compelled to leave thz Fpot upon which it was purchased to drink it. There was none of that convivial spirit for which Charlestonlans are famous about a drink out of a bottle and alone, aiul their spirit of freidom rebelled against any law which prohibited them from Joining a friend in swallowing that which gives joy to the soul and life to the beating heart. Then, too, a taste of the liquor served at the dispensaries was not a taste familiar to the people who had been accustomed to drinking in tha State. If there is any place in the world where good liquor only is in demand and generally consumed, it Is Carolina, and the stuff put forth by th dispensaries did not have that palatable taste to which the peoplo of that State were us,ed. This quickly gave the State barrooms, for that is what they are culled derisively by tnose who do not care to patronize them, a black eye, and the people who had been in the barroom business were resorted to for a good drink. The law, of course, refused-these men the sale of liquor, wines or beer under a penalty, and for a tlma not a drop could be secured in the city from any of them, but the iepeated demands and the character of the gentlemen aroused thD saloon men, and the doors, which In many places had been closed were thrown open, some of theru as restaurants, some of them as lunch counters and some of them aa soda fountains. IN RESPONSE TO DEMAND. In very few of them were any changes made except such changes as the removal of the bar appliances and decorations would make. None of "the pretty glassware, Inviting stocks of bottles, fresh flowers and tempting lunches to which the patrons of the places were accustomed were there. Put It was not these things that the Charlestontans wanted. It was a sip of the liquor they were in quest of, and when they found It could be secured they threw their hands over the counter and, grasping that of the bartender, gave It a hearty shake and every assurance of gratitude. The bartender, however, was a little leary at first, fearing that the penalty of the law might come his way, but that fear quickly disappeared when the patrons of the place boldly and emphatically announced that the laws of the State had not yet been made which could induce them to testify against a man who would satisfy their apatites. "For," xves the universal remark, "there Is no law against the sale of liquors in this State, and we will protect them who give us what we want. Thon again we will suffer impririmment for what may be termed contempt rather than see one who serves us imprisoned. If Tillman has the right to sell liquor, we see no reason why others should be debarred from It. lie cannot have a corner on the trade, and if he has he cannot compel us to drink the vile stuff he puts b-ifore us." It was the people, however, who were mistaken, and within less than twentyfour hours after issuing the order the Governor had a cordon of special constables planted in every city in the State, and each of the squads was under the direct command of a leader appointed by the Governor, to v.hcm explicit orders had been ls-ued. These orders, briefly, were a complete compliance with the law, and that compliance was to bo secured at all hazards. To each of the chief constables a cony of the law in all its details was given and in a few days more than one man had been arrested for violating the law and his property had been confiscated. In most of the cities of the State there was something like a quiet submission to the raids, and many of the places which had been run comparatively open were closed, never to open again. DEFIANCE IN CHARLESTON. But here in Charleston, where the people have never known anything but freedom of thought and rpcech, there was no quiet submission. Neither was there any open, flagrant violation of the law, though the law, a3 it reads, was violated every minute of the day. It was simply the belief of the people that they had a right to their drink and the willingness of the barkeepers to pander to that taste for the price received. With an openness that showed honesty on tho iart of the barkeepers, the trade went" on until it was brought to the attention of the Governor. Now it seems that there has never been any too much love between Governor Tillman and the people of Charleston, and when he was acquainted with the fact that liquor was tlowlng freely in the city which had never given him a hearty support, he arose In his wrath ard declared that Charlseton, like the other citie3 and towns of the State, should drink from the dispensary or should not drink at all. Mr. Gaillard, a long-time resident of Charleston, was made the chief constable for that city and county, and, like all others. wa3 empowered to form his force and ordered to enforce the law at all hazards. Chief Gaillard drew around him a strong force, and the work began. It was a battle royal with the chief constable and his determination on the one side and the lartenders and the appetite of the best people of Charleston on the other ride. Fearles3 Carolinians were arrayed against Carolinians who knew no fear, and for days the struggle went on. Everywhere the constabulary could iind a bottle of liquor and anything Indicating to their sensitive feelings that liquor was around an arrest was made and all of the property in the places was confiscated and carried away to a dcot. where it was stored. Day after day the feeling between the two elements became more bitter, and during the last few days there li3- been more than one row. promising a riot In the city. In each Instance the constabulary has bfen condemned by the neople and has been indorsed by the Governor. Jn Indorsing the acts of the ollloers the Governor has taken occasion to show that they were carrying out a law jiassl by the Legislature, and to assert that all opposition to the work of the men was rebelllo-is. The people, on the other hand, declared that there was nothing but trespass on the part of the men designated as o:hcers, because they were attempting to enforce a law the constitutionality of which is now being questioned. The argument has often been warm, ao warm, In fact, that it has led to many street difficulties, to say nothing about several general rows, ont of which c-ime so near lelng a riot that the Governor issued an order to th rr-ilit-ury of the State to hold itself In readln?ss for marching orders. Hut hod the order come for the roldlers to marrh it is more- than likely many of the couijauietf of the State would have thrown

up their enlistment In the State ranks rather than have marched against the wishes and will of friends and companions. At least such was the impression last week when the small riot happened here. N THE LAW INOPERATIVE. While the law is positively against the sale of liquor except In the dispensaries here in the city, it is a real fact that it la wholly Inoperative. But while it is inoperative, it Is equally true that those who sell liquor do not do it In a manner that might be called defiant. But while I may bo able to buy a drink at one hundred places, there is not one of them that will not require all of the proper vouchers of socrecj, and in many of them the fluid can be secured only after some one of the initiated has vouched for you. A local politician told me the following story: ln Charleston there is a dog: named McGinty, and when the owner of that dog culls out. 'Hurrah for Cleveland the dog will leap into the air, turn around and bark. Then when he calls, 'Hurrah for Wade Hampton' the dog will do the same thing. When he calls for Ferg-UEon that's our county sheriff the dog will go up to, smell around and bark. Hut when he says 'Hurrah for Tillman that dog won't move and you can't make him. Ain't that right, Charley?" turning to his friend. "Nothing but right," was the answer. As it happened that same niKht I ran upon the man who owned that dog and saw the statement verified. Every evening he Is out with the dog, and as he passes from one point to another his drinks cost him nothing. Mac plays the string as often as he Is called, and every time he responds some one Is ready to call out to those about to join him In something. The dispensary is not at all popular with tho people here, and none or the better clas3 buy from IL The grades of good3 kept are not In conformity with the tastes of the people, and they will not buy. Thi3. the dispensary has discovered, and now a better grade, of goods is bring purchased, so that the better class of trade may be secured. A dispensary is a sort of funny creature, anyhow. If one wants a drink from one of the State bar rooms he must buy at least half a pint. Less than that he cannot set. Neither can he get more than three gallons. By the schedule run only three grades of liquor can be bought and the grades are designated by stars. One star Is the cheapest grade, and It is as vile and villainous stuff as a negro ever looked at. One drink of it will cause murder, suicide and lynching. It is absolutely poisonous to any one. The two stars is slightly better, but, like the one star, will break a man from drinking, if he can't get anything else, Tho best grade will pass, if one doesn't know what is good liquor. Recently the dispensers have arranged it so that any brand desired may be secured and delivered, but it takes the same process in securing any of the common grades. Even the finest grades of wine and champagne are to be secured now In the same manner. ELECTRICITY IN CHINA. Mechanically It Is u Success, but Profits Are Not Satisfactory. . Electrical World. The streets are very narrow In Canton, as is the case with all Chinese cities, being from say six to twelve feet wide, and are filled with hanging wooden signs. Through these signs the wire must twist and turn,, because on no account would a Chinaman allow a sign to be moved to make room for the wire, as it would certainly mean bad luck to his business. In many cases the insulation has been strongly reinforced with rubber and tape, to prevent abrasion from the swinging signs. The streets of Canton are divided Into sections of a few blocks each, and each section is shut off from all others by heavy gates, that are closed at 9 o'clock in the evening. The populace is so turbulent that for many centuries the authorities have made it a practice to hold all the people cf any section responsible for any riot or tumult in that section. The result is the people have got tn the habit of regulating affairs in their section without any reference to the powers that be. The electrician of the Canton plant had occasion to see the effect of this in an instance where a store wanted lights, but the wires could not be run, because one man objected to having a hole cut in his house for secur'ng u pole. The man wanting lishts Informed his neighbors, and a delegation waited on the individual and soon Induced him to withdraw his objection. At first there was considerable objection to the plant being put up. but now it has become very popular, and is used in houses and stores; even fruit and nut stands use them in the street, the wires being led from the nearest house. The light Is now so popular that thousands of lamps could be put In all over the city if the station was large enough to supply them, but its limit is now reached and difficulty 13 experienced in building a larger one, a3 the franchise for the entire Canton province Is in the hands of one man, and he wants to make too much out of IL The Chin?se are great people to expect private commissions on everything they have a hand In, and the management of the company, cne and all, manage to steal something. One man who has the handling of the money, will hold back n;eded supplies and wages, another, les3 fortunate, will go to the station and steal coal and oil. and If there is any objection tho eneineerls told It I none of his affair. In fact, though the plant Is a success from an electrical and mechanical point of view, it is kept running under considerable dhllculty. In Canton two attempts were made to steal the street wire soon after the station was started, and though no one was killed, no attempts have since been made. Inhabited by a bad joss, as they are now thought to be. Ilrasn Work nt Vnlnaraiso. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VALPARAISO, Ind..

MODERN LETTER-WRITING. CnrelcMsnesa the Rule, Rat There iu Hope for Improvement. Baltimore Sun. Letter writing Isn't as .much of an art as it once was. Books had to be written about it years ago, and "The Ready Letter Writer" was as infallible and as essential as a cook book is to many people nowadays. It Isn't worth while to compare it to a book of etiquette, because time is casting the shadow of unpopularity over "The Habits of Good f-Mety," and It has moved down from the book shelf where we keep the household classics. If you are cultured you are supposed to know how to behave and how to write a letter as well as the eminent litterateurs who were popular years ago, and not so lont? ago either, on account of their printed opinions on these subiects. However, on the other nana, it is an undeniable fact that society at present could often profit by occasional reference to a txt-book on manners, and as to letter writing, the art of it has absolutely fallen into innocuous desuetude. In colonial days a letter was a mental, moral and social effort Edward Eggleston. In a lecture on colonial times, reads a letter which illustrates excellently the formality which was a social feature of that period. The letter was written from one dear colonial dame to another, and reads as follows: "Oh, my Marcla. How hard is our fate that we should be deprived of our dear company when It would complete our felicity, but such is the fate of mortals. We are never permitted to be happy. I suppose it is light, el?e the Supreme Disposer of all things would never have permitted It. We should perhaps have been more neglectful of our duty than' we are." The stilted phraseology is calculated to call forth a smile of derision and pity in our day of hurried communications in which we emphasize the realism of life In our correspondence. It is a generally conceded fact, if not a philosophical law, that from a letter more evidence Is to be grained of the character of the person to whom It 13 written than of the writer himself. The rule Is a fascinating one in Its practical application and you can apply it personally after reading your own letters written to friend, relative, lover or business acquaintance. Your own personality Is- naturally adjusted to the correspondent at a distance. In the same manner as your physical presence would be. The day of crossing and recroflslng the papr with horizontal, perpendicular and diagonal lines, which was a feature of two eonerattons back and one In common uee among the gentler sex, went out presumably with tha reduction in postal expen.ses. No regrets followed the decadence of this fashion, and there Is no danger of its revival. The up-to-date letter, however, has playful characteristics which demand mention. Since the angular style of penmanship came into vogue letter readers have become experts In deciphering chirography. Amelia Ii. Edwards, the Egyptologist, plunged Into the hieroglyphics of the Orient with success, and something' of the same perslstenca in the present active generation has rendered it possible for the modern feminine pen to be dsciphered. The modern letter has also an enigmatical aspect. It begins on the fourth pajre of the paper and continues on the pages least naturally to follow. The intelligence of its reciDlent receives flattering acknowledgment in a quiet way and casts about for the sequence of ideas by means of the context. The modern letter of correct form never has its paces numbered. There must come a reaction and letter-writing must again become an art. At present the obligation is not regarded with due observance, lief ore the reaction comes there tflll be a stage when a typewriter will come into the familj', spring- and fall, to do up the family letter-writing the same as the seamstress who come3 to do up the white sewing. We have too little time to waste on letter writing at present. But it will be a line art by and by. Care of Pastures. Philadelphia Inquirer. The care of pasture land is a matter which receives too little attention from farmers in general, although upon this depends in a considerable measure the profit which we may expect to receive from crowing stock. Our pasture nells are usually selected from the lands which we think will least repay us for the labor of cultivation, and so, because they are comparatively valueless, we think It will not pay to give them the care necessary to make them of greater value. The stock is turned into these fields to pick up what it may. If the stock is kept from starvation by the voluntary growth of the pasture, we are apt to consider ourselves so much ahead, but the stock kept in this way pays us little real profit, and the interest charges and tjixes keep on accumulating every year upon the land. It is, of course, wise to select for pastures such portions of the farm as will least repay cropping. Sometimes the fields so chosen are unsulted by thir natural conformation for profitable cultivation, and so the best use to which they can be devoted, both for the land and the owner, Is the carrying of stock. Sometimes the land 13 too poor to grow a profitable crop, and so it Is pastured as a means of restoring fertility. In either of these cases the land should have some care, and pains should be taken to make it prohtnble in the line in which circumstances have made It advisable to devote it. Do not get In the habit of considering that it Is onlv a pasture field, and so treating it, as If it could never be anything else. Slnp e Hnse of Lords. LONDON, Feb.16. The House of Commons this evening rejected without a division a number of amendments made by the House of Lords to the parish councils bill. There was a division in one instance and the government obtained a majority of 52. At the suggestion of Mr. Fowler, President of the Local Government Board, the Si-aker ruled two of the amendments made by the House of Lords out of order as a breach of the privileges of the Hou.e of Commons, in that they created new taxation. The Speaker added that he would have ruled them out of order on his own initiative had he not ben asked. Establishing III Credit. Puck.
