Farm Fact Poultry and Plann Muk and Water Melon Farm and AVorUhop Jtotes Kte., Etc. Improved Method of. Summer Malching. Oar chief obstacle in summer is. drought. 5Iow to prevent it is unknown. bat- to cultivate in such manner as to mitigate its disadvantages is what all canMo. The best of all remedies in dry spells is mulching. Those who practice it do so for the purpose of protection, in winter; bat a mulch is really of more advantage in the warmest days of summer than when the temperature is at zero. Contrary to expectation, those who lire in sandy locations can bear testimony to the fact that the apparently dry, sandy soils retain more moisture than those of a heavier nature, hnt are almost burning hot at the surface durin midday in times of drought. This creat heat at the surface is too severe for tender and young plants. When wsriu at the surfaee the moi ture by capillary attraction is usually sufficient for growth, but much loss occurs from evaporation. A retention of moisture enables plants to pass through th dry spalls and increases yield. As a proof of this we know that in places where a loose board has fallen and covered the ground earthworms get at work, humus forms, the color is darker and the place evidently richer. This is owing to the shade and darkness afforded by the cover- ' ing. Shade is nature's Implement of renovation. Clover usually leaves the ground in better condition than before being seeded, and adds mach valuable nitrogeneous matter to the soil by the decay of its roots when turned under: bat we are satisfied that much cf the benefit gained by the soil is de rived from the shading afforded by the thickly-gTow'ng clover. The denser the shade the riciier the soil becomes, and wliints with broad leaves are better for the purpose than straight-stocked ones, which we know by comparing the benefits derived from crops of buckwheat ana rye. The buckwheat shades the gtound com pletely, but the rye is better for turning under when youne. Malchin;; can be done with leave?, stra grass that has been hoed up, and even news- , papers. The latter are avauaoie, ana can oe made serviceable by painting them with some substance that is insoluble in water, A cood home-made article lor such pnrpose is to dissolve glne in a vessel of water to the consistency of thin syrup, in another vessel dissolve in the same Quantity 01 water, as much bichromate of potash as it will take Then pour the two liquids together. The mixture remains fluid in the dark, but be comes insoluble after exposure to the lignt. A bundle of paper prepared in this manner will cover' a large surtace, ana, tnougn not apphcaole to field culture, answers well in eardens. When it is considered that the covering prevents weeds and grass, dispenses with cultivation, and checks the cat-worm, the expense is not as great as may be suppo-ed. . A paper mulch can be of sev eral thicknesses, if necessary, end with a hole in the center and a slit for convenience t of application it is held down not only by stones, cornstalks, laths or other unused material, but also bv the plant itself. Dark paper is better than light. X summer mulch promotes the formation of humus, retains moisture, moderates the surface heat and facilitates the production f ammonia, nitric acid and the phosphates, Mulching is not a new thing, but the prac tice of it is rare, especially in summer. Those who have not tried it will be well re warded bv experimenting, using such niaterial as answers best for the purpose. Second Crop Potatoes. C. W. Callender, of Sumner Couaty, Tenn.. wntes as follows to the Cincinnati Commercial: Experience baa taught us that even a few hours I exposure to our hot June sun will cause the tender tubers to wilt, and utterly destroy the power of termination. Most farmers keep these i'culls" in heaps till the time of planting. I spread mine upon the granary floor four to six inches deeD. eivltfc thus plenty of air ana shade They will be curea and tit for seed in a couple of weeks arm. crisp, and the skin smooth aod toueh. Cut the seed potato for the second crop from stem to biofceom end that is. length ways gl vine. 11 size allow, a portion of blossom end to each 'cutting. If the tuber be too large for that cut again crosswaya. J ouu irora frequent observation, that the sprout usually comes from the blos som end. the otner eyes upon tue cutting appear leg to be latent for the time being. Only one ire, usually puts out for a second crop, and the same is true in a great measure of their yield when dan ted in the eoauiDK spring;. I think larver po tatoes, tflOUgn later, are produced from the sum nd and cumo. Further observation Is needed upon this point. Plant tha seed as soon as cut. Po not let It "starch over." as may be done with seed in plant ins: first crop. Be s'ire to cut every potato you plant. If it be too small for two cuttings, slice otf a piece from the stem end, or as I term It. scalp it." If this be not done the potato will not come up In time to mature its tabers. You may see It as a volunteer the next spring. I cut the seed for this Becond crop larger than in the spring crop, pavictr no attention to the number of eyes. I aim to have a good-sized piece, especially if cut from stem ends. From some unexplained cause many of the seed do not come up. Frequently we lind in the same furrow, name soil, same seed, and with same calüvaüon, "njises" of ten ot twenty yards, and then lor some distance every seed up and tnriV' ine. If you dig Into the ridges you usually nod the reed souud. but not prouted, sometimes rotted. The seed seems to be merely inert, and frequently does come up, but 89 late as to be fronted before tubers form. Why this irregularity 4a germination I have not been able to learn. I now it is so. and I know, as yet. no more. We have much yet to learn about this second crop, Last vear more farmers missed than made It. I usually reserve a few acres from the June. crop for the planting 01 my secona crop, lpreier to plant matured tubers f atbei than immature culls. I think I set better yield and larger Biz?; but many very successful putato men plant only cull, and assert that their success is as good, or even better than with matured seed. Here strain observation and experience mu.t determine. The prooaDinues ot your section sueceeuiuir witn trie second crop of potatoes, will, 11 time allows n.e, be subject 01 another article. Insects on Garden Vegetables. (.American Agriculturist! In some localities one or more cabbage worms is still troublesome. The moat com mon of these are caterpillars of mediana sized buttertlies, the wings 01 which are white, with black spots, there are three distinct species, but all are similar in their habits. Wherever these butterflies are seen Hitting about over the cabbage and cauli flower plants trouble from "worms" may . soon be expected, safety consists in attack ing them early. Some worms eat into the forming bead, and when they are thus hid den, nothing con he done, in small gar dens hand-picking will answer, bat where tliere many are caubaires this is not practicable. ' The Persian Insect Tow der, the Pyrethrum, is the best and a safe application. There are in some localities cabbage worni3 which come from oilier but tertl e. but they are to be treated in the same manner. The large green caterpillar, or the five-spotted Sphinx, known as the "Tomato Worm," is most destructive. It will soon leave nothing but bare stems upon a tomato plant, eating the green fruit aswell as the leaves. When the tomatoes are supported by some kind of a trelliä, as they always should be in a garden, worms may " be detected by the quantity of large pellets of dropmngs found upon the ground. Where these are seen -the worm should be sought for. Stems without leaves also indicate its presei ce. When not eating, it will be found close to the stems, on their . undersides, and as it is of nearly the same . color, may escape notice. The "worms" are never very numerous, and hand-picking is

the best way to deal with them. In spite of the horn at the tail-end, tbey can neither

sting nor bite. Frequently one of these will be found with it? body nearly covered with t small eg-shaped cocoon?, often mistaken for esgs. Worms with these should not be destroyed, a they are to? weak to ad much damag'e, and the parasitic insects should have time to leave these cocoons, as tney are our friends, and should be encouraged, j The tomato worm may sometimes be lound on potatoes. What Can be Sown In Jane. Those who have a time of "making gar den" in early spring, and doing up the sowing, all at once, do not pet the greatest good from their gardens. There are many veget ables of which the season can be greatly prolonged by making successive sowings. A striking example ot this is sweet corn. which, by judicious sowings, may De naa every day until fro3t stops its growth. In many localities the most thoroughly tropical plants, suce as Lima beens, okra and the melons do better if put in now than if sown earlier. For succession, after the first sowing, pat in bush beans, beets (allowing plenty to be ued as beet greens), cucumbers and other pickle plants. Carrots, kohl rabi and salisfy are amoDg those that may still be sown and make a crop before frost arrives. Farm Facts. INew York Tribune.l The recent census gives some valuable in formation concerning the extent and size of the farm lands of the country and the great jncrease 0f such, property within the last two decades. Illnois leads the list of States and Territories in respect to the number of farm . . ..I ! 1 X- "V'.-.l lands, ana men come inuruerixjw iura, Missouri and Pennsylvania. The largest increase in the past decade is shown in the case of Kansas, and a gratifying increase is also recorded in the cases of Iowa. Missouri aid North Carolina. The majority of the farms vary in Pize froiu twenty to 00 acres, the greater . proportion in this number ranging iroiu lUu to 500 acres. California contains some farms which reach l,0l0 acres in extent FarmiDg is conducted on a similar large scale in .Dakota, Nebraska,, Wisconsin and other Northern States. Large farms of 1,000 acres and over are .'ound in many places in Louisiana, Missisfuppi and North Carolina. It is cited. as an illustration of tho prosperity of these vast farming interests, that about 75 per cent, of all the farms in most ot the States and Territories are occupied by the owners, while the remainper cent, are either let at fixed rentals or cultivated on fchares. The record of farms in the larger agricultural States and their increase in numbers are given by the census as follows: California, in 1SS0, 35.031 farm; in 1S70,.23,72I; in 1SW, 1S.716; Dakota, in is, so, 17,430 farms; in 1S0, l,7l0;in 1S(. 123; Illinois, in 1SSI, 255,741 farms; in 1S70. 202,803; in 1SG0, 143,310; In diana, in 1SS0, l'ji.013 farms: in 1S70, 101,-2S-J; in ISO). 131.82;-.

Poultry and Plums. A subscriber of the Michigan Farmer gives that paper trie lollowing as a sure method of raising good crops of plums: Inclose a piece of ground adjacent to the hen house witn a high picket fence and set out plum trees in it. Kep the hens in the inclosure during the curculio's ravages, and a crop of plums annually will be the reward ol the pains and outlay." lhe editor says the remedy is a good one, and has been used by plum growers for years. Whether it is as thoroughly ethcacious as this correspondent thinks is open to debate. However, in the vicinity 01 Detroit, two parties who have tried it for years declare it eminently satisfactory, as they never have had a cur culio since they turned their fowls into their plum orchards. ' Mnk and Water Melons. Farm and Garden. Melon seed should be planted in a warm soil and sunny exposure. Stimulate the plants by applying phosphate, guano or liquid manure. An occasional application of warm washing-suds during dry weather is of material benefit. As the melons grow mostly on the second set of laterals never on the main vine it is of great importance and will hasten the setting of fruit davs and even weeks to pinch oft the ends of the main vine, and also of the first set of laterals when two or three feet long. Farm and Workshop Notes. Early-cut erass makes better hay than that which is cut late. . ..... . . Beefsteak free from bone is very similar In composition to cheese both are muscle pro ducers. Silicate of soda (soluble Älass) is used in Germany for coating, eggs in order to pre serve them. " ' ; ' . m The number of insects destroyed bv birds more than. balances the loss of cherries and other ripening fruits. A Columbu". Ga., man has invented a cot ton press, costing only $10, which can .be operated by one man. Since 18W Tennessee has increased in pop ulation 400,000 and has made crops every year of an annual net profit 01 2,o00,om., The Texas and Pacific Railroad Company is establishing an experimental farm three miles west of. Abilene, in the valley of Elm Creek. Southern papers predict that In ten years that fection will supply sufficient wine for American use, and also export to Europe. In the last ten years there have been 41, 000 new farms opened in Arkansas, which is an average ot 000 new larms in ten years to each County. Lucerne resists the draught easily, as th roots of this variety of clover get twenty feet down into the soil. It can be cut repeatedly ia a single season. A tree overloaded with fruit cn neither perfect the fruit nor ripen its wood pr.jppri v A great many tress are annually ruined by too much cropping. here the cold weather lias delayed c rn planting it is best to mix plaste with.., the manure for that which requires paining small dusting of it around the hill is sußi cient, ! All concentrated fertilizers should be plied by broadcasting in preference apto placing them in the hill, as too largp qu n it'n a small area is sometimes fa al seeds. Proteine, thib.nis of animal tis3ue, is many vegerable substances.. Analyses have shown that manured meadow grass contain 12 per rent, ol prieme, while unmanureu contains on y 9 per cent. If strawberry beds are to be protected, the material used should not cover the soil with seeds.- Probably straw, or even the leaves or small stalks of corn, are as good as any thing that can be used. Eleven thousand seven hundred and ehihtv-eight people are employed in the manufacture of cotton in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, double the number employed in 1S70. The observation of Dumas, Teyen and Boussingault have shown the fact that a cow gives healthy milk in exact proportion to the surplus of food beyond what is necessary for her own maintenance. If the animal is kept on food barely Buflicicnt for proper

nourishment the milk produced must be at a loss of animal tissue, with general deterioration of the milk and aI.o of the cow. For iron rust take dry cream of tartar and rub on with the linger while the cloth is wet Hang or place where the sun will shine directly upon it. Should the rust not come out with the first application repeat. General Finley has introduced a bill in the House authorizing the Commissioner of Agriculture to secure 123 acres of land for experimental forms in each of the States of Florida, Illinois, Louisiana and California. The peppermint crop of the Dnitfd States reaches about 70,000 pounds a year, of which 30 000 pounds are exported. Two-thirds of the pepperment oil of this country is produced in New York and about one-third in Michigan. Pine stamps may be more profitably removed by blasting with dynamite than by a

stump puller. A large pine stump requires j very great iorce to De puwea out 01 me ground, but it is easily torn to pieces and thrown out by two to four ounces of dynamite. . . Turkey raising is carried on extensively iu Tehama County. Cal. One man, in addition to raising and tending a large fiock of sheep, raised, nearly 703 turkeys last year. Large flocks of from I M0 to 15,000 are frequently met with, tended by 4 women and cuildren. Sheep in North Carolina are free from disease to a wonderful degree. Scab is not reported; rot-foot is almoit unknown; liverrot is a stranger. Grub in the head and catarrh are the only diseases that can be said to givo the farmers trouble worthy of notice. The remedy for these is simple and ea?y of application. In order of earliness of green fodder plants that have been cultivated at the experimental farnn lucerne is first, then cumfrey, red clover, rye, tares, oats, millet, rape, corn and cabbage. An average production of thirteen tuns green weight and three tons dry weight was secured. A novel but profitable industry in the mountains of North Carolina and East Ten nessee is that of collecting roots (mostly laurel). The roots are shipped to Philadelphia and Boston and used for the manufacture of door-knobs and pipe bowls. The roots frequently weigh from 75 to 150 pounds. There is a constant demand, and good prices are paid for them by the ton. Two or three hives of bees can be kept as ell as not on every farm, and with the presnt progress of bee-keeping a large quantity of good extracted honey can be procured at no expense, except for starting.' ' With movble frames and a smoker, bees are as tract able as chickens, and comb foundation cau be bought and placed in the hive and the bees can go right to work. The practice of thinning potato vines ti two stalks in the hill, when they exceed that number, has been annual with a correspon dent of tbe American Cultivator, and his lather before him, for fifty years. This is one at hoeing timethe superfluous (weak est) stalks being treated as weeds. The ef fect is, as may be supiosed, an increase of arge, handsome tubers. The object of cut ting !ced to sui2le eves is in part to prevent overcrowding and competition of stalks. The cabbage is a potash plant; of this ele ment a ton ot heads would remove 12 pounds, and of phosphoric acid 4 pounds. As the average crop in Eugland is 22 tons, and as this would not ba an excessively arge crop in America, we may calculate that such a crop would remove 2Jt pounds of potash and 8S paund of phosphoric acid. wh:ch would be supplied in about 523 pounds of muriate of potash of his:h grade, and about 1G0 pounds of an average super phosphate. Simple pure white lead, ground in oil and used verv thick, is an excellent cement for mending broken crockery ware, but it takes very long time to harden suihclently, he be it plan is to place the mended object in some storeroom, and not to look after it for several weeks or even months. After that time it will be found so firmly united that, if ever aain broken, it will not part on the line of tbe former fracture. It resists moisture, and heat not exceeding that of boiling water. Careful experiments have proved that corn which is hilled will blow down more readily than that which has level culture. This can be accounted foi by the fact that corn roots run verv- near the surface, and when hills are made they are confined to the small space covered by the hill, while in level culture the roots run from one row to the other, thus enabling the corn to stand strong, as nature intended, and in no way iable to be blown down except by winds of unusual violence. The Southern cow pea is planted or sowed abiut the same as corn. It yields usually Irom niteen to twenty bushels to tbe acre; and is very wholesome and nourishing, both for individuals and stock. The vines can be cut and cured for hay, but this must be done when it is in blossom, as the leaves will crumble off in the barn if cut later. Broad casted thickly on inferior soil, and ploughed under when blossoming, they make excel lent green manurial matter, and while grow ing destroy weeds and protect tbe soil. Two crops ploughed under, followed by an appli cation of lime, is said to fit land to receive clover. Farm and Garden. Mr. T. C. Anderson stares in the Ken tucky Live Stock Record that he last year Eorchased a pure Bates cow. Seventh 'uchess cf Vinewood, at the Port Huron sale, for a low price, as barren. lie took her to nis larru at bide V tew, ivy., put Her ou a crass pasture, trave her a pint of erass seed daily, kept salt and ashes constantly by her to lick at pleasure, and she had plenty ol good spring water. Ou the 18th of the past October she gave birth to a deep re1 heiter calf of great value, got bv the Duko tf Airlie. Hemp seed is said to be a speci c also against abortion, if g vca dailv af er the cow has gone three month or so with call, continuing till ab tit amnitti bet :r calving.

To save all sorts of vines from the attacks of bugs and worms requires constant watch fulifsss and a timely use of remedies. Ther is no U3e in tiying t Irive the yellow striped cucumber off after it has injured half the plants in your patch. Prevent it coming on by changing the natural tcent of the vines. Sprinkle your vines frequently, and just as sexm as they appear above the ground, with water in which a little kerosene oil has been mixed, or with a weak solution of carbolic acid, or with plaster scrnted with kerofcne. or with rank-smelling manure water. Either of the above, if applied daily, "vill penerally keep the bugs on. lhe large, black squash-bug must be hunted up every day from among your vines and killed.

A HOOSIEIt HOLIDAY.

Alleged Tranks of a Couple of Tin cennes Instructors, of Opposite Sex. A Suspicions Registration A Boggy-Ride and a Subsequent Private Seance In the lark. A Vincennes, Indians, social of the 13lh says: v The parties whwe names rre involved are. Professor Ldwin A.lU-ghi, PreMdeut c-f tbe luculty of the 1'uiversity. and Mi's ieitrude Adams, a tscher in tbe same limitation. Tbe University closed Thursday night witn an elegant banquet tiveu by the alumni to the graduating class, i he next day lUe iaculiy left trie city for ibelr summer vacation. Tbe ProfesMW and Miss Adams ktarted on tbe Evansviile and Terre Haute 1UÜ.t a. in. for Cnieag. Thi road, which tortus tbe southern part of i be Chicago and Kantern Illinois, runs but one through tiain per day to Chicago, and that leaves this city at D i. id., but as trie Protestor stated hU Intention of stopping off at Terre Haute, nothing was thought of his taking a local whicb terminated at that place, oa tbe Journey north, however, an incident developed mat led subsequently to a close scrutiny over tbe couple. On tne saiae train was a peitleman from thi? citv who was acquaiuted with bth parties, and who, by accident, discovered, as be affirm. Miss Adams reclining in the Professor's arms, they being the pole Ovcupants of the ladies' car at the time. Wheuthey errived at their destination, having inquired of a train man the name of the best hotel, they took lhe omnibu for the Terre Haute House. Upon their registering as E. H. Albert and lady. ChicMKO, the clerk, Mr. Hamilton, mentaily i-esölved that all was not right, and that he would watch the ixdr. They were consigned 10 room No. 1'.. and, he stated, immediately entered it and remained there until noon, wheu they came down to dinner, Ritcr which they took a drive through the city. Mr. fieorge G. Kamwiell. Superintendent of the Vinceunes bas Company, haiiDerjcd to arrlve ln Teiro Haute 011 business. about 3 o'clock, and had half an hour in the cityl between trains beiora reiuriutg some, auritig which be was approacned by two frieiids, who related the above occurrences, and one of them also affirmed that he was the person who hal observed the actions spoken of iu tbe car. Belüg a natron ,f the L'nivertötv Mid a ivrsousl acaualntance aBd friend of both the parties involved, Mr. Ramsde 1 deemed It his duty. lor tne weiiare 01 the parties, as well as for the good name of the in stitution, to at ouoe notify the Trustees of what be bad beard, tbat a proper percon m:gnt at once vUit Terre Haute and investigate the whole all'alr, and either couhrm or explode the allegations. Upon hi arrival t Vinceunes be Fought Dr. J. II. Rabb, President of the Urstt National 11 nk, and Hon. dmiiey N. Chambers, attoruey at jaw, both Trus tees and the utter probably the Professors closest friend among the Trustees. After considering tne matter carefully, Mr. Chambers concluded, as a friend of HsUht's. to at or.ee go to Terre Haute. He took the 9 p. m. train, and at a quarter before 11 arrived at Terre Haute, ana 11110 U'ervea saw the pair embark on the snrne train for Chicago. He had instructed the conductor to watch them and telcaraoh him results the i:eit day from Chicago. Chambers then repaired to the hotel. where tne clerk, Mr. Hamilton, corroooratea tne above statements, and also re ated their aubse quent actions, as follows: Upon returning from their diive they prepare! lor ana iook tea. alter which, about 7 p. m., they entered and remained ia their room without any light, until about 10 o clock. He also stated to Mr. Chambers that duriDg the afternoon he had called in a f jrmer resident of Vinceunes, who identiüed the couple, and he showed him his memorandum in his cash bonk, giving the names Professor Haicht and Miss Adams after the name E H. Albert and lady. Mr. Chambers, who is familiar with Haight's handwriting, and who xald he would not believe a word ol it unless this proved genuine, was fully conviuced tne entry on the register was the lrofesor's penman s up. Having reluctantly become satinea. cnamr :rs returned on a morning train to this city ana decided to reveal the matter to tno three rrus tees constituting the Committee oa Education of the Uuiversity. which he did. A meeting was held, and it was decided to write to Ilalght, stat ine that his conduct was fully knowu.andre questing the immediate resignation of himself aad Mls Adams. All parties nave oeen pieagea to eternal secrecy, with a view to avoiding a ecaudal upon the University. All went well un til v esterdav. when a party of over 1C0 excursion ists returned to ihis city from Terre Haute, ard as mai yof them wtre eue?ts while there at the Terre Haute House, it became a matter of gossip and tDread like wildfire over this city within hall an hour of their return. Mrs. Haight, the Pro fessor's wife, was totally ignorant of the cruel theme of conversation until a late hour yesterday. when she was nearly crazed by the intelligence. which was broken to her bv a friend. At a late hour she telegraphed her husband, who replied this morning that he would at once return, but a subsequent uispatch informed her that he(Halghl) was sic k and unable to come, ana tor Dc-r to come immediately to Chicago, for which place she starts at 9 o'clock to-nlchu In an interview witn an attACDeoi a i.nicag Darer.

That is one of our models," said the Pro fessor, rolling his eves at the door. A great change has taken place in public opinion concerning the use ol living models," con timed the Professor, willing to talk. "Ten vears ago there was an outcry against it People said it was scandalous. Posmg being a new thing, it was hard to get a model ol either sex.

The Imirortal Declaration. IXew York Herald, June 8.1 lr. George II. Moore,. Superintendent of the Lenox Library, read a paper before the New York Historical Society last evenine, upon the Declaration of Independence, which he said was rot written by homas Jefferson but by John Dickinson. Dr. Moore sketched tBe ife of Dickinson irom his youth in the Society of the Friends up to his mannooa in jjongressand in tbe Revolutionary I Array, and said that he was one of the most ble, alert and fervid advocates of his coun try's rights. . Dr. Moore then set before his bearers John Dickinson's tositive averment that the Declaration on taking up arms in 775 and all lhe other papers included in the publication of his political writings were composed by him, and added tbat there was no other claimant until twenty-five years after John IXekson s dea:h. PROOF A TO TUB AUTHORSHIP. The question of the authorship of the Declaration of Independence," Dr. Moore continued, "is not a very complicated one. There is only one adverse claimant, and bis pretence is onlv to a part of the work. 13ut his reputation is of the highest, and the part he claims was said to be the best. I propose to settle this question now and here. But if any further defense is needed I will defend Kamst all comers the absolute, sole and un divided claiui of John Dickinson to tbat im perishable trophy of his pen, the original draft of which, in his own handwriting, I hold in my hand and bhall further exhibit herecfter." Dr. Moore went on to cite proofs of the genuineness of Dickinson's claim, and then quoted the following from the memoirs of Jeilerson, begun by the great Democrat in $21, in the seventy-seventh year of his age: 1 took my seat with them on the 21st of June.

Alter quoting Jeilerson a3 to the imperiect memory of aged men. Dr. Moore exhibited the original draft of the Declaration, and said that no person but the author himself had a hand in preparing that document. It is in the handwriting of John Dickinson, and these corrections, additions, interlinea tions and revisions, in number, extent, po sition end character, forbid the supposition that he copied any part of the paper Irom draft by .Mr. Jeilerson or any other person. It is the original first draft of the whole, and the proof of it is in no portion of the whole more con spicuousand certain than in the "last four paragraphs and half of the preceding one claimed by Mr. Jeilerson In closing, Dr. iloore pleasantly rapped George Bancroft's knuckles, intimating that the ereat historian had accepted ex-parte testimony and jumped to a hasty conclu sion. Those who examined the original draft of the Declaration, which was exhibited alter the lecture, concurred with Dr. Moore as to the parts claimed by Jefferson. . A Mall Robber'a Story. Philadelphia Press-l With heavv gyves clanking in dull, metal lie rine at each movement, Henry W. Hor ton, confessed murderer and mail robber sat wearily on the bench in a cell in the Central fetation, where he was brought from the prison in Detroit last evening by United States Marshal Matthews, of Michigan. Bur ton never smoked a cigar or pipe, or used tobacco in any otner form, nor lias tie ever taken a drink of intoxicating liquor. He never swears, and he said last even ine that the sound of an oaai cuts him like a knife. He was born in Texas. "My father was a ranchman,' said be, "his name was hitp, and my right name is Samuel White. When I was thirteen years of age my father was shot by James Rown in a Quarrel. It was when I was twenty-one years of age that I met Rown for tbe first time. It was in a camp inltock dale County. Tesas. I was told who he was. Stepoine in front of him I exclaimed. 'You are my father's murderer, arid before he had time to draw a pistol I shot him through the heart. I was arrested afterward for the oiTeine and suffered a short term of imprisonment. After my discharge I began my career as a mail robber, or tia:n agent. I worked without any assistance whatever; always alone. In April, 18. I stopped a mail express in Rockdale County, Texas. There were fourteen pafsengers in the stig. You would hardfy think it possible that one man could intimidate so many, hut I erected dummies tbat in the dark looked like men surround in2 the vehicle.

A PALATIAL KKS1DEXCE.

Mr. Boss K. Wlnans' New House, Which Will RiTal Vanderbllt's. ; IDaltlraore Day The proverbially lavish taste of Mr. Ross Iw W iuans has been c i n ;r1r-.l new building which is in course of erection . , - ' , . , . . V. . .... in on the east tide of St. Paul street, between liddle and John street. The structure is intended as a private residence, to be occu pied by Mr. mans and family, and is said to be the finest private house souti of New York. From the plans and specifications of the building the idea of a palace rather than an Americn dwelling is conveyed. The structure so far has been completed only to the roof and is as yet in the rough, but wnen nnisned its magnihcence will rival anything which has yet been built in Baltimore. The lot upon whieh the bonse stands is 125 feet front by 122i deep. The bouse it self is (XJ feet front by lb feet deep, and it is to d nve stones mgn witn sloping mansard roof. The style is French renaissance. and the exterior. whe completed, will re semble very closely an old Belgian or French chateau, around which laney seldom fails to cluster clinging ivy and historical associa tions. VI bat remains 4 the lot after the building has taken up its quota will be transformed by the gardener into a beautiful garden, which is to cost $:,000 Around the yard and building Mr. Winans baa ordered a brie-k enclosure ten feet h'rgh and lourteen inches tbicfc, which is to meet at the northern and southern corners of the house, Tbe interior of the residence is to be as magnificent as the fancy of the owner can mate it. it is to be of satin, red oak and ebonized cherry woods, inlaid and carved. and in each room there are to be costly bev eled mirrora. Tbe ball will run the full length of the building, and upon its ornamenta tion and decoration are to be expended alone $50.0oOy . The cost of the entire mvldding and garden will net be less than 1200. OA and in the construction Mr. Winanj ordertd that no expense be spared. There are rooms in tbe basement for sixteen servants: also laundry, kitchen, boiler-pit, store-room and drying-room, and upon the first floor there is to be a handsome ball-room, drawing, reception, dining rooms', parlor and library. lhe other noors are to be taken up with bed-rooms. The most striking; features in the architec tural appearance of the house are two towers. one at the front and the other at the rear. They reach only as far as the cornice, and remind one of the pictures of Kenilworth Las tie. At the side of each of the towers rise four circular chimneys, unique in de sign and made 01 pressed red brick, with jet black cement, all combined in one. The material ot which the house is built is pressed brick and Long Meadow brown stone, and the blending of color is rich and perfect, Huliding operations were begun this spring, and the house will be finished about November. MUM FOK THIKTY-F IVK YEA KS. An Interesting- Scrap of Madison History Correspondence of the Courier-Journal. Mapison. Ind., June 14. Mr. D. G. Owen, of Ghent, Ky was in the city yesterday, lour correspondent received an introduction to him. and expressed the wish that the venerable gentleman's visit here might be a pleasant one, when he replied: ".My visits to .Madison are always pleas ant, for I was brought up here--went to school with Isom Ross, Jim Hunt and many other bovs of this citv. I know every foot of ground in this valley, although there have bedn great changes." THE TRAGEDY. Speaking further about Madison. Mr. Owen said: "I never come here but I re call a horrible tragedy the murder of White by Sheets a case tbat created more excitement, perhaps, than any murder ever committed in these parts. It was along in 1827, I think that it occurred. I was the only eye-witness to the bloody eleed, and' I kept it a pro found secret for thirty-five years!" 'lteiuarkable. 'Yes, sir: I didn't tell a living soul that I saw the murder for that length of time, and John Sheets, the murderer, was the first one I told it to. 1 was a boy, and I was sky larking around down near the south end of Mulberry street, lust alter dark. 1 saw White come out ot an alley witn a xankee yoke on his shoulders, carrying two buckets of water. Sheets came along just then and he struck White with a cane several times. White snatched tbe cane from Sheets and struck him several whacks over tbe head with it Sheets jerked out his knife and plunged It into White near the heart. White staggered on a lew steps, gasping: "I AM A DEAD MAN!" fell upon his lace and died In two minutes. I can remember the heart-rending screams of White's poor wife when she learned, of bis death, row here s the reason 1 didn t tell what I saw: My brother-in-law, Will Carpenter, was Prosecuting Attorney, and I knew if I appeared as a witness the only witness who saw the murder Sheets and all who favored his acquittal would say that Carpenter had gotten his little boy brotherin law to swear .to made-up testimony. Sheets was tried, but the circumstantial evi dence was not stronir enough to convict him. When I told Sheets about my knowledge 01 tbe atfair thirty-five years afterward, and convinced him of it by describing the en counter, he almost fell in his tracks, and exclaimed: "My God, Greene, your evi dence would have hung me! Bright Eyes Causing Trouble in a Jury Box IBalUmore Sun. The principal ground on which anew trial in the Johns will case is asked was that of one of the jurors. Mr. Bareda Tur ner, a young gentleman in his twenty-fifth year, and a member of the Corn and Flour E change, who testified that he "speculates a little when a lavoraoie opportunity pre sented itself." was influenced in giving the verdict which seta aside .the will by the speaking glances and sweet smiles of a voting lady. If tSe verdict is sustained the parents of the young lady, Dr. jonn j. caowell and Mrs. Cadwell.whose residence is on North Fulton street, will be among the heirs and beneficiaries of the estate, which is esti mated at between 5u,uw and xsu.uou. The testimony of Mr. II. Gans was to the effect he saw a Juror, whose name he did not know, and a young lady who seemed deurniH ot attracting tne attention 01 tne juror, and he in response gave her looks of recognition. These interchanges of glances continued daily while the witness was present. AstheJury leu tne vouri xoom uns j uror r0uld look back at her, and she would retnrn the glance smilingly. Mr. Turner, the Juror, in his testimony said that all good-looking ladies impressed him indellibly. Two young ladies, Miss Caldwell and Miss Edith Johns, especially impressed him dursng the trial. Having a yosition in the Court room in front of the urv. the eyes of the Juror and young lady often met. He considered this repeated ex change of glances equivalent to bowing, and meeting Miss Caldwell on North Charles street during the fashionable hours of prom enade he bowed to her. bhortiy alter he met her at the Dime Museum, and engaged in coversation, and again at the West End Skating Kink. At each meeting the acquaintance was improved- He also went with Miss Caldwell and his sister to tbe circus to seeJunibo. While there be cave Miss Caldwell some peanuts. He had never civen her anything else or sent her bououets. His acquaintance with her began on the twenty-fifth dav of the trial, and it was during the argument that they began to converse when they met. His mind was then pretty well made up, and no word about the trial . was . spoken to him by the youug lady. After the trial he was thanked by Dr. Caldwell, whom he met on the street, and invited to his house. He visited the young lady at home, and she came to his father's house, where he lived, No. 270 East Fayette street, to visit his sister, quite an intimacy having sprung up between the ladies. He denied very

emphatically having said to Mr. Angnst Conradea, a fellow Juror, during a recess of the Court: "iiy God. you would not find a

verdict against such a trettv woman as that?" or if he did say so, it was in reference to Mrs, IL V. D. Johns. EAK-PILLIXO. Interview With the Man Who Led Ilia Wife Oat of the Grand Opera House by Her Kar. Cincinnati CommerclsLl - There has' been considerable commotion raised in this city during the past two weeks. on account of the publication in the Commerl,ai n cident which happened aj the tr rand Upera House, where an exaspean incident rated husband led his wife out by the ear. In fact we might cay that it caused a sensa tion throughout this part of the country, for it has been the subiect of a treat deal of newspaper comment, and opinions of everv shade have been freely expressed. ine reporter ot the Commercial who hap pened to witness the "scene" hunted up the gentleman and had a little chat with him in reference to the matter. He was inquired of whether he had read the comments in the papers regarding his action, and he said he had, that hehd been much amused by them and had started a scrap book, and hoped the discussion would continue. He was then asked whether he regretted what he did, when he said: xa.1 do not! It has had cood effect, not only in my own household but in a good many others. It has forever put a stop to my wife attending matinees, and has called public attention to a terrible evil. My wife s not tbe only woman in Cincinnati who has neglected her children and her housebold affairs to visit matinees once or twice every week, but there are hundreds of them. and it is time that husbands and fathers entered their protest against such prac tices, the result of which, in many cases has been the disruption of families. I stood it as long as I could. I bore with it uncomplainingly for years, and only when 1 saw the habit was fastened upon my wife, did I ask her to desist; and when I "found that argument and entreaty did not avail I threatened to lead her out by her'eai. I did not even do tbat until I saw that our children were allowed to roam tbe streets, meeting with serious accidents. Then I got angry, and though Mrs. Hayes, of Marysvilie, who is doubtless a very sweet woman, may not believe it, I then, for the first time in my life, used harsh language to my wife. In fact, I used cuss words like the devil : and where is there a man who would not have done the same under the same provocation? From Detroit to the Sea. W. H.
