A ?reat leal hinges ori t Lit word good.. It means, in this connec tion, a cow which will res-pon I to leed botli in tie i ail and n her rib. This is not so lunch of mixed proposition as one might tt tirst suppose We are dealinsr with farrjw COvr. This embrares the idea that nature is cijs1E m on her et;orts to convert tood into iilV. jnd ns a ieriol of growth and renewal cl bodily functiors has benin there will be a natural tendency to growth cr a filling out xa lerewal or tlie bodilv parts. The load ti-t-ii will be dirideii in it results, and some of it will go into milk secretion and some to Luiidiug up and rniewln the bodily stniitnre. There are the two avenues of jrain . atd cu this double road it will pay to push tilings and gives the cows all they can eat of rich foods. We must look ahead and hn-t out if their foods will be readilv assimi lated and converted into mi'k and ileh, an 1 ho combined that they will work well to ether. The Hist thing to secure is thorough mas tication, for without this there is always more or less los of food even though it m.ty be .swallowed. Some folks think tint if food is only gobbled down it is all right whereas it may be all wrong. Kating is a lifTerent thing from gobbling or cramming Uiwn food. . Itmbodies the uleä of masti cation and digestion, and when this is done the fuil value of food iu ay be obtained, and without it, it will not be had. To procure tUs there muft 'e a rroper combination of fcou as well as mechanical conditions. The cwi.er mut do the lirst worK, and when this h well done the ecoi.d result will irsrely follow. drains are ca.led for. s wen as ittle and food, and it is not the man who has the most food that wins, but the one who couples knowleile will; pieniy. .Meal should always be mixed with coars.tr fool. to secure full mastication tnd digestion. Now let the farmer apply TXjis principle in nis lecdm and let him select good farrow cow, and he can not avoid a gain, with the milk and growth combined. The pile of rich manure is really pay enough, t r.t he c;ui get more, viz., a protit on the "food uiven and aa increase in the value of his investments by the rapid growth of his cows. There nitit not be any break, by exposure, abuse or neglect. " There is no war a farmer can enrich his farm and purse easier and more safely than by the system we have brietly noticed. In Ihe spring tbe iws thculil be fat enough for beef, and tbey may dried ort" and sold at a time of the year , whfn bet- is high. Coro . Sorghum a a I'orae lTaut. . j Firuier'a Keview.J In the annual report of the New York - agricultural experiment station for ll is a rtcord of exjeriments in growing corn and cane for forage crops, some ligures of which will be of interest. The comparisons which we select ars between the following varieties of torn: Wausnaum it int. New Jhigland l'op, Kvergreen fweet and Minnesota l?nt, in both hit-Hand drills, and the Karl' Amber cane. Coth were planted on the same day on y-lats similar iD character, and receiving the same fertilization and cultivation an J harvested on the same day, the corn then being fi full growth, but the cane not having reatted its full development. Taking six I'lats of corn and three of wrglium the results of weight of green forage were as fo! . lows: Average yield of corn per acre,' l.o.i tons; highest yield, l'i.Z'J tons; lowest yield. 7.!T tons. Average yield of sorghum p?r acref tons; trreatet, '22..i tons; smallest, 12.o tons. It will be seen that the amount of green fora?e from sorghum par ' acre wa considerably in excess of that from corn, and that notwithstanding the sorghum, us stated, had not made its full growth. Had tbe comparison been made with some of our large varieties of Western corn the differences would not have been so great. Hat then, again, the early orange and other varieties of com give a heavier growth per acre than the early amber, and would probably give a proportionately heavier trp of green forage than our large Western varieties of corn. Thoe who have fed green sorghum to stock, , we think, very generally regard it as superior to green corn for feeding purposes, and since it gives a heavier crop in tons the inference would be that it is a better forage crop than corn. Ihtt' there h this to be taken into account, it is more ditlieult to get a good stand of s"rghuni than of corn. Jt comes up puny and spindling, and its early growth is slow, rejuirir.g more care and latM.r to keep the weeds down. Whereas corn comes up strong, makes a rapid growth, and, when grown as a forage crop In driils, is oon pa-t the Jwjint where cultivation or othr (in i need ed. The difference in. the rest of growing tjie cr0p perhaps equalize the advantage which Sorghum might neeni to isess overborn as a foraare crop. 1'eeding La mix. tKuralNew Yarkvr.J I'ted a little grain daily, commencing as H-cnastbe lambs are separated from the - ewes, when raise J ; and aa noon as brought - boiKf, wher purchftaed.

making them tame, and at the same time it will pet them used to the dry food so they ill not so much mind the change when taken from the pasture to the barns. For convenience in feeding, troughs should ba i rcvioed: thev can be made of boards of any . convenient length, and eight inche? witie naii'tl together, and to V-snaped end I ifcf , They are to be supported on legs nude of M.e ami one-inch p'anks, ton inches wide ard sixteen inches long, having notches cut in tbe upper edge into which the troughs are to be nailed. A trough sixteen feet long, if placed where the iünd.scan eat from either side, will atford n tiii tor feeding twenty-live. A good food is n de by mixing two parts of corn, one j art of oil-meal and four parts of bran, by measure; one bushel of this to oue hundred land's is a fair ration while at grass. They shouki be fed but once a day, and the best time is just at night, or after a day's run in the pasture; but whatever time is selected as "leeding time," it should not be changed, but should remain the fame, day after day, otherwise, not knowing when to expect their food, they will be constantly watching, instead of gracing as they should. The Crop and Weather ot 1MS3. IKausns Karruer.J The Department of Agriculture has just wnt out its reports of crops and weather for 1SS5. The figures are the same as we gave two weeks ago: Wheat, 057U2,0x bushels; com, l,!Oi,V7i;,OoO botiels. The wheat average w as ten bushels to the acre, and of corn twentv-six, the highest in live years. Oa's turned out !iJ;,k,u,o. Kye sullered from winter killing, but not so much as wheat. Itarley and buckwheat were fair. Potatoes a litht "crop and cotton not above an average. The t'.ax yield is estimated at ll.OD.OOO bushels. .s to productiveness in general, the year was fully up to the average, hut Pntts tell oelow. As to whether temperature of April was a full average on the Atlantic coast and the Kastern Uulf States, and still higher in the Western Gulf States, in Tennessee, and in all the regions west oi the Missouri. It was an average in the Ohio Valley and in the Missis sippi Valley, and slisrhtly below average in the lake region and in Florida. May temper ature was Unilormly lower than an averagein the country eait of the Uockv Mountain region, and higher thence to the Pacific coast. In June temperature was normal in the I'ast, the South Atlantic States, Western Culf btates, but !or in the Ohio Valley, the I-ake region, 1 "pper Mississippi, the Missouri ai!ey, and extreme ortuwest. Jt was nearlv an average in July. August was unusually cool throughout the West, and in September somewhat below the average, ex cept in the .Northwest. llainfall was deficient in April from Penn sylvania to t lorida, and epeciall v abunoant in tiie Missouri Valley. The May precipita tion was above the standard in all of the States south of New England, normal in the hio Valley, and deficient in the lak? regions. ;ind the Northwest ; but the lower lake region had an excess in June, as did the East, the lake region and the Missouri Valley in Au gust. Tbe Southern Atlantic States were vis ited with extreme rainfall in September, wliile the ouantitv was Miiall north of M try land. As a whole, there was a more ejual distribution than usual, and greater exemn tion from drouth. Injuries to growing crops were greater from floods and excessive moisture than from drouth.

The box or iuniherbox wagon, us coin monlv seen in the East, has a bodv with the bottom tightly nailed or screwed to the sidehoards and cross-pieces, and which is a tix ture. In many loca'ities westward, instead of having a tightly nailed box, a better style formally purposes is employed. Ordinary side-boards are laid in place against the up rights from each axle, and are held there by Mont hoops, one l-eing attached to the upper etie ol the bhle-boaru, so that it can siij three or four inches down from the tip o the upright. Then running lengthwise of the wagon, resting on the axles between the suieboards, are placed enough pieces o Sf-aotling ;x:; to till tue intervening space, The ends of these stringers are slightlv drawn down, so as to enable a persou to catch hold of any individual one. Each scantling has screwed onto the lower side, inside the axle at each end, a piece of wood as a blocking to prevent the stringers slip ping out of plare. Inrt and rubbish of any kind can be piled in such a wagon a- iu ordi nary lumber wagon, hut can be unloaded far more rapid' v, bv nrst removing one side buard and then raising up and removing the scantling, thus letting the load fall to the ground.

When we consider for a moment the number of diseases of a contagious nature to which horses arrt subject, and the careless manner in which they are exposed to the same, it is astonishing that we do not have epidemic of this kind ottener with our horsts. To fully appreciate the risk that is incurred, we need only visit the city or country towns on Saturdays or curt days, and ses the number of hor.-esof all kinds and conditions that stand tied and almost touching each other in every available space about town, to cay nothing of the numbers that are packed together in the public stables. The latter, as a rule, are much safer from coming in contact with disea.v.- than those outside, for no sensible stableman would admit an animal inside of his stable that is affected with any kind of contagious di-ea.-e if he knew it; but it often happens that neither the owner of the bora nor the stableman is a ware of the disease until it is too late to remedy the evil. Contagious diseases of a most virulent character may be peri-etuated for an imleti nite length of time by feeding horses in stalls where the disease has existed. Of this kind we may mention glanders and Spanish it ?h eseciaUy. Either of those most fatal disorders may be conveyed to other horses by feeding in a stall where horses suffering w ith them have been kept. To destrov the virus, take a pint of sulphuric acid and put it in a bucket of w ater, and with an old mop wash ail parts of tbe ttall, especially the trough and manger, as well as the sides ef tbe stall. Then put a few pounds of stick sulphur in an old iron pot. and mopping the stabte as well as possible, burn it, so as to fumigate the stable thoroughly, taking the precautions against tire. It i(ä food blan to set the pot in a tub of water; then whitewash with lime and carbolic acid. This will protect them horoughly. HOlSKnOLI) HINTS, Spited Kecf.

Mix well with the liana shape into pones and bake brown. Do not make tbe ioues too large. This dough is too still to l e used with a spoon. No eggs ued. Salmi of Cheese. Sal mi of cheese is made by placing a pint of railk upon the tire and added to it two tablespoon fuls of grated or hnely crumbled cheese. After this has been boiled a full minute stir into it a tablespoonful of otato or wheat tlour (the former is preferable) that has been wet with milk. Add a saltspoor.tui ot salt, ana sometuing like tlie same quantity of mustard. As soon as it boils up thicic remove, add a tablespoonful of butter, and serve. This is dainty, digestible, and far more agreeable tban'a W elsh rarebit. A hint of cayenne pepper in it is much liked by gourmets. Hashed Wild Ducks. Take the remains of cold roast wild sluek that have been under done and cut them into small pieces. Dredge theie weil with flour and put them into a stew pan with a gill of water in which has been dissolved half a teaspoonful of tluid beef, adding a tombier ot port wine, a tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning to taste with salt and cayenne. Set the stew ian where the contents may sim mer gently, but not boil, for a quarter of an hour. Then take out the pieces and place them upon nicely browned toast. Uoil and skim the sauce to the consistency of cream, pour it over the w hole and serve at once. . Corn Bread Mrs. Marion Kinney, of Iron County, Missouri, gives the following, which she says is very light and sweet, and. eaten by guests at her table, is pronounced e:pual to lJoston brown bread. Take one quart of sweet milk, half a teacupful of molasses, one teaspoonful each of soda and salt, six teacupfuls of cornmeal and two of tiraham f.our. If put into tha oven at 10 a. m. it is done at 11, and wrapped in a towel, is nice for dinner. If any is left, with a flannel wrapped over the towel, it is still warm and good for supper. It must be baked slow, with a good lire. Mrs. K. bays this is the best corn bread she has ever eaten, after living thirty j-ears anions a people who subsist largely oh cornmeal, cooked in many dilfcrcnt ways. Jn the Kitchen. A Columbia correspondent sends the following: Allow me to give you two old-fashioned recipes, such as the old-time Southern colored cooks used. They are used in my family every day, and every one acknowledges the bread to be excellent. In the first place use only white cornmeal. 1 have s-een the yellow cornmeal used in New York, but in the South and West yellow corn is only led to stock. The tirst is what I call Com Mutlins. Ingredients: cornmeal, soda, buttermilk or sour milk, Fait, egg, and l:;:d. My cook often leaves out the egg, and i ne mutlins are excellent. One quart of meal, sifted; t eat the egg, yolk and white sepaiate, salt, a small pinch of salt; one pint of milk and a teaspoonful of soda, lick t all together well in a bowl, then stir the meat in gradually till well mixed and add a desertspoonful or little less of melted lard. Have mullin rings wr mould hot, greased enough to keep bread from nicking, and drop batter in with a spoon: bake quickly and serve hot. Experience will soon tell if the batter is too stilt". Cream akes. There are cakes and cakes, but the favorite variety for supier after a day of feasting is one that is known by but few out of Sew England, and is cailed a cream cake. Sift twic? two teaspoonfulls of baking powder with three teacupsful of Hour, lieat until light two teacupfuis sugar with one.half tup of butter: then stir into the susiar and butter one cupful of sweet milk, next the flour and a teasxoonful of lemon. Beat the mixture thoroughly, and, lastly, add the whites of four eggs that have been whisked to a light, stiff froth. I'.ake it iu either two or three shallow pans, according to taste. To make the cream: I 'our over two tab'.espoonsful of gelatin six tablespoonsful of boiling walcr. When this is dissolved strain it, and add eight tablespoonsful of pulverized sugar and a teaspoonful of lOH'-water. Beat it until light and creamy, and set it away to become quite cold If this part of the cake is made the day before, it is all the better. Spread the cream between the cakes, and if only two layers are made it may be smoothly und thinly arranged on the top of the upjn -iiie; sugar may then be sifted over it just as ,t goes to the table to be cut and served. Grilled Lamb. Put a shoulder of lamb into boiling water and set it over a good lire. Whtn it has boild for two minutes remove it where it may simmer very gently for from half to three-quarters of an hour; then take it out and slash or score it with a 'Jiarp knife, both ways, making the cuts about an inch apart and deep enough to reach nearly to the Lone. Now have some bread-crumbs made of day-old bread and seasoned with Silt and pepper and a little parseley, thyme and marjoram. Now brush the yolk oi an epg over the scored lamb and sprinkle the bread-crumbs upon it. This done, see that your lire is clear and bright, then place your meat over it, and broil to a delicate Drown. A capital sauce for this dish may be made as follows: Mix a quarter of a pound of pulverized sugar with a half saltspoonful of cayenne pepper. Put this in a tauce-pan and jour ovt-r it a tumblerful of good white vinegar, set the sauce-pan where the contents may simmer, and as soon as the sugar has dissolved add a glass of .Jersey claret. When the sauce has simmered lit' teen minutes longer it is ready for use. It should be served hot, and sent to table in a tureen. FA KM NOTES. Onion seed may be sown very early in the spiitig. as soon as the ground tan be placed in condition to receive it. In this prepara tion of the ground it pays to take great pains. After plowing, it should be harrowed again, until it is thoroughly pulverized, then raked clean of sticks, stones and lumps of earth. As thus prepared, the drill if a good one will sow the seed evenly, the rows can he ma Je straight, the greater ease of after culture will repay tbe pains taken. Hough lands can best be utilized by pas turing. Ihe natural toughness of the land is subdued in this way, and the growth ot bushes and other undesirable plants kept down by constant treading and feeding. And stock can pick about among stumps and s ones where the plow could not be run. While the stock is a good thing lor the rough pasture, the rough pasture is not always the best thing for the stock. It is not so much what a bushel of corn may be worth on the farm as what it may contribute that is important. When converted into beef, butter, lard or iork it is not more easily transported, but also more readily salable. In the conversion of com into concentrated or higher-products, manurial matter is left on the farm, instead of being carried away, as it would be the case If the torn were sold in its grain form. The creamery or the factory does the work of a hundred pair of hands, and turns out a ton of butter r cheese at the tost ot the labor of one-tenth as many. That is, the manufacture of dairy goods under this system is reduced UU per cent Along with this economy of labor there is a saving of time to an equal extent, for ninety pair of hands are set free for other useful employment, or if tlie hands are idle there are ninety heads at liberty to think and originate valuable new ideas. The first cold snap is w lien cows show the greatest tendency to fall ort" in their' flow, and if they can be tided over this period without failing materially, it will be found comparatively easy to maintain a full ltow of milk when more severe weather comes. .Great pains should be taken now to keep up the yield f milk, as now is just the time when milk and all dairy products are becoming more valuable, and tbe money is to be made out of the dairy business if ever. The "Ohio Farmer says that six or eight weeks for sheep and ten or twelve for cattle Ji enough time to crowd their condition for the butcher. This statement should be given

with some imdificatien er taken with some allowance. While it may be true that an animal can eat enough in the given time to fit him for market, it Is also true that ore in low condition will not bear a full ration and must be brought to it gradually, and one excessive ration which brings on scours in a sheep is worse than a day of fasting. Animals must be in good condition at the start to be finished off in the time named. Tbe best site for a poultry-house is an ele

vated one, but where that is not at hand the ground should be spaded or plowed, and the earth thrown toward the center. A frame, say lOxli will accommodate a dozen hens and a cock nicely. We prefer an earthen floor, as it is cheaper and healthier than any oher. And it should be raised to the top of the under-priming with dry road dust, ioaru and sand, and renewed occasionally. l'.reeding sows and s'ore hogs should not be neglected now, Vat should "receive gol attention, be well provided with warm shelter, and be well fed. All kinds of stock, in fact, should receive the best of care and be kept constantly improving. For the swine a littie powdered sulphur in the slops once a day or three times a week will be of great benefit. Let them have also free access to some charcoal; also to an abundance of liquid. There is practically little loss of fertilizing materials by evaporation when manure is spread broadcast. It may be drawn and spread at this season, and so help out the rush of spring work. On level land the practice of spreading manure on the last snow of winter is growing in favor. The snow should not be more than four or six inches deep. When the manure spreader is to be used on large fields it pays to sled the manure out and put it into large piles at each end of the lot. hike sheep, with many farmers suftiient care is not taken to properly save the manure trom hog?, and no social pains are taken to increase the amount. Manure from hogs, esivecially when fatted, as thev generally are. on corn fed in the ear, is very valuable, and when combined with the cobs becomes narticularly so. If allowed to lie too long it is not as good for corn as some other kinds, because it becomes infested with too many worms. It is coarse, and should be gathered up and applied before it wastes too much by lying out exposed to the weather. C overed yards possess one advantage in regard to the smaller consumption of food by animals that are covered than by animals that are not. The cold wind, which causes a loss of the beat of the body of an animal, necessitates that animal consuming moraJ food to regain such heat, but the wet which falls upon any animal requires a ?till much larger amount of heat in order to convert that moisture into vajor. Under a covered yard an animal is protected uot only from cold winds, but also from the rain, and an immense amount of food is thus saved. Breeding fowls should be separated from the main Hock, and onlv the verv best se lected if we Would improve them. Breeding at random is too much like saving seedoom from the bin, one does not get what they should the best. Selling the best fowls and breeding from those that are left, as many do, is like planting seed-peas or bcavs irom the vines that have supplied the table till they are no longer worth picking. The pouitry-raiser, as the stosk-breeder, should breed from tbe finest specimens, those that will give him the most prom for the out lay. In an address by Mr. J. J. Coleman, President of the chemical section of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow, it was stated that at about 1J below zero the flesh of am mal., such as mutton, becomes so hard as to ring like porcelain when struck w ith iron, andean be crushed into a tine powder. And yet, as demonstrated by his own and Profes sor McKendncks experiments, nncrobia contained in sucu meat has recovered vitality on thawing, even after an exposure of ICO hours to the temperature above men tioned. The currant may easily be grown from the seeds, but this is not advisable except for the purpose of obtaining new and better varie ties. I here is a wide held for improvement in this direction. A large per cent, of seediings will be interior to the old standard varieties, but this should not deter us from making an effort for something better. Some bushes will be found producing finer fruit and more abundant crops every year than others of the same varietv, and eds skould always be selected from the best bunches of lruit produced. lresident Barry stated to the Western New York Horticultural Society that to become really prohtable apple orchards must have a soil, the fertilitv of which is to be main tained with suitable fertilizers, giving the tree? a good annual growth, with judicious pruning and the destruction of noxious in btcts; that when the fruit is well grown, it must be carefully gathered, assorted, packed and market, the whole reouiring care and skill at every step, and without which or charding can not be profitable. Terrible lloiler i:plo4tou. Special to the Sentinel. Teere IIai te, Ind., Jan. -JX. Another ac cident fatal and terrific in its results follows uon the heels of the explosion at our mar ket-house.

PLENTY OF AFFIDAVITS

Judge Pollard Eas Plenty cf Ewern Staieir.er.ts ttd Intends to Use There, At Some ft His Enemies Will Soon Learn to Their Korrow-He Will Make It Warm foi Two Newspapers. JuJgc Charles R. Tollard, of Delphi, who has better grounds for bringing suit against certain daily newspapers than any other man in Indiana, was a guest at the Grand Hotel yesterday, and before this article reach es the eyes of the majority of Sentinel read ers, will be on his way to tbe Capital of the N'ation. It will be remembered that two mouths ago, on recommendation of some of the most prominent eop'ein Indiana, Judge Pollard was appointed Associate Justice of Montana by President Cleveland. He assumed the duties of the office at once, and the few enemies that be has in tbe State set about to prevent his confirmation by the United States Senate, resortiug to the most infamous methods to accomplish their ends. They enticed a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercia IGazette and a representative of one of the local papers to Delphi, and devoted one whole day to blackening Judge Pollard's record. The following morning the two papers came out with display-headed attacks on the personal character of the appointee, charging bini with almost everything but murder, and concluding with a touching appeal to the Senate not to confirm the appointment. The first specific charge was that, while practicing lav: at Delphi, he had swindled one Itobert M. Barkley out Of $2,500. hr-r been employed by that gentleman v acraint A. "II. Bo wen. banker, oü .. rri i iV.il.. 1.-1 1.. 1 lk...,l 1 1 lie IJtAl a5 mal ue uau utuauupi j'a.i Lynch and secured a mortage on his property through "ways that were dark and tricks that were vain." Folloft'ing this came the statement that he had, by conniving with the Auditor of Carroll County, made changes in the deed of Williatr Allen, decease 1, in favor of his son Charles, whereby tbe latter secured 14 acres of land. It was also alleged that while performing the duties of Iosecuting Attorney in Carroll County, through his ignorance, a horse thief was allowed to escaj his just deserts, the Judge being compelled to release him because the worn "horse" was misspelled in the indictment. When a reporter of the Sentinel called at .Tude Pollard's room last night hand his w ife were enjoying the warmth of a grate lire and the hospitaltiesoi" tlie Grand Hotel. "I am glad vou came up to-night," said the Judge, arising to greet tbe reporter, 'vcause 1 leave lor Washington to-morrow morning to refute the infamous charges tint have been made against me. Montana Territory was fiooded with papers containing these charges, and just as soon as 1 received one of" tl.eni 1 made application for a leave of absence that I might go to Washington and make some defense. 1 left Montana last Saturday' afternoon for Delphi, and arrived there Tuesday. W ithout a moment's delay I began to procure affidavits from the parlies who have been mentioned in connection with thea slanderous articles. There's no use in me talking to you about this matter. I'll show the arhdavit3." With this the Judge pulled out a tremendous ickage of papers from his valise, and the first one he exhibited to his visitor was that of A. II. Bowen, against whom Itobert Barkley had brought suit for 2,5u0. The statement set forth that after three years' litigation Barkley gave up all hoes of recovering damages, and informed Pollard that he was going West; farther, if he, Pollard, wanted to follow the matter up he could do so. and retain possession of all the money realized if he gained the suit. He went West and died, and after w orking at the case seven years longer, Judge I'ollard recovered damages. The attorney fees amounted to S$"0, and the costs of final settlement amounted to about jf-Jn. The Court allowed Pollard the balance for his services. The atlidavit state." that Judge Pollard is an honorable and upright gentleman, and acted fairly throughout the entire case. Following Üiis came the affidavit of John W. Jackson, ex-SheritT of Carroll County, setting forth that he was present when Barkley stated that he would have nothing more to do with the case, and if Tollard wanted to follow it up he co lid do so. Judge I'ollard then showed the reporter the sworn statement of Charles Allen, setting forth that instead of securing U4 acres of land by reason of a change in the deed, he had purchased the same from his father shortly before his demise. The record in the larceny ease, wherein 1'eter Line ligured as defendant, bavins purloined a horse, was then shown up. It proved that Mr. Line had been forwarded to the State Prison, and further, the word "horse" was spelled correctly. Mr. Tollard is also in possession of the affidavit of one of the jurymen who sent the young man up. After the reporter had carefully perused these papers. Judge Bollard showed him a number of letters from prominent jersoiis, stating that he (Pollard) is one of the best and most honorable attorneys of Indiana. Among them were documents from Edward 11. Gresham, Mayor of Delphi: A. B. Crampton, Posmas'erj'llirman Kerlin, attorney; all the county officers; T. A. Howe, an exsoldier and strong Republican: Postmaster Wood, of Flora; Rev. II. L. Bradon; Rev. Mr. Seawright; City Treasurer John Fawcett, Robert Merchant, A. T. Bowen, Frank Hench, lawyer, and C. M. Smith, County Surveyor. He also exhibited letters from the Judgesef the Circuit and Superior Courts of Lafayette. Judge I'ollard will leave for Washington on an early train aud submit the various affidavits and letters to the J udiciary Committee of the Senate at once. There is no doubt but that he will be confirmed. It is then his intention to bring suit for -libel against the tw o newsppcrs that have been endeavoring to ruin his reputation. GREELEY AND BROWN. Tlie Only Meeting ltetueen tlie Two Men Who Constituted the Liberal Ticket in 1872 Their Conversation ltrusque nod Tinrtured With Anperity, lint They Parted Mit! Mutual Esteem. I New York Special. J It will perhaps surprise many to learu that Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown met but once. They did not-know each other when they were nominated and their only chat or conference was at the house of Dr. Steele. in Bond street, where Mr. Brown was a guest after his return from New Haven, w here he had gone, I believe, to attend the Yale commencement exercises. Major James Haggerty, who Jias since made such a successful candidacy as an independent Tammany candidate for re-electiou iu the Assembly in which he was a member for the past three years, was then a staunch Republican. He held a josition in the Custom-house, secured through the influence of Mr. Greeley, of whom he was a great admirer, and whose personal friendship he enjoyed. He determined to follow him in his change of olitics, and resign his position in order to take the ijtump in advocacy of the Liberal ticket. Major Haggerty was present at the interview between the two men, and talked to me the other day about the incidents of their meeting. He said: It was on a Punday afternoon, shortly alter the nominations were made, that Mr. Geeeley sent forme to meet him at his hotel. He preeted me on my arrival with the remark: "Mr. .Brown is In town, and it is time that I called upon him." W went to the bouse of JDr, Steele, pa JJjnl ' street,

where Mr.' Brown was ague?!. After the introductions were over Mr. Brown began, with seme testir.ess of manner : "You were not in any great hurry to call upon nie?:' "1 didn't know whether yon were quite ready to receive me," was Mr. Greeley's reply, and after some fnrtheT conversation in a rather jocoe vein, Mr. Brown put the qaery abruptly, but pleasantly : "Greeley, how much are you worth?'' "Well," said Mr. Greeley, in his peculiar way, "if I could sell all that 1 have of Tribune stock and farm stock at a fair valuation, I ought to realize at least 100,oo0." Mr. Brown seemed somewhat surprised at the reply, and Mr. Greeley laughed heartily and then asked: "By the way, Gratz, how much are you worth? How much hrve you made out of journalism?'' Mr. Brown's face assured an expression of seriousness, which quickly changed to one of indignation, as he replied: "Nothing." "But, Gratz," rejoined Mr. Greeley, "ain't you pretty well fixed?'' "Yes, 1 am pretty well fixed, and I can tell you how I came to be so. 1 found myself with a young wifa when I was sent Hying out of the editorship of the Missouri Democrat. You know, Horace, how much I did for that paper. I still felt myself a great man, althoush I was kicked out of the editorship; but, somehow the faces of the leading men of St, Louis had taken on a new expression toward me. There were dinners given to which I was not invited, receptions

at which my presence was not deemed i mportant. 1 had not noticed this at first, hut the frequency of the neglect began to impress me. 1 was not received as promptly by the magnates as when 1 was an editor. Then 1 began to KEEL THE SyVEE.K OF POVERTY, and I thought I would start a new journal. Of course, I went to the men I had helped to charters, to power and position. They no longer addressed me as 'My dear Brown.' It was 'My dear feilow." I was no longer the editor, but a beggar; but I felt that I had just as much brains and heart as when I was .the editor, and when I had the place of honor at dinners and was the first of speakers in responses. Well, Greeley, in tbe parlance of the street, I took a tumble to myself. I concluded to go to Jefferson City, and instead of getting a charter for somebody else 1 resolved to get one for myself, and I obtained one for a street railrood in St. Louis. I bought a farm outside of Ht Louis, and found slate on it. I think I have reason to put myself down as worth now, or in the near future, .s"uo,uoo. But, Horace, do you remember the old hymn, 'Human hearts and looks deceive me ." 1 would rather be poor to the extent of being breadless than to realize, as I have done, the infirmity and treachery of man. Now, voung man "(turning to me), I don't want to make a bad impression on you, but if you are in jolitics for a living, take my advice and give it up. Apply the energies that I think, from your eye, you are capable of, in selling matches, even at retail, three boxes for a jenny. and, by God, it w ill bring you peace and happiness." The conversation then lecame more general, and Mr. Greeley referred to certain disparaging statements against Mr. Brown that had been going through the papers, and Mr. Brown again fired up. "1 would not be your managing editor," he said, "for all the world, for 1 know that I should hate you. While you are a kindly man with a lot of benevolence, I know that you would hurt my feelings twenty times a day. No man of real strong individuality and intellectual power could be voursuljordinate and not hurt you." Mr. Greeley's face brightened, and he slowly replied: "I've thought of -that myself."" "S ou are not an unkind man," returned Mr. Brown, with less asperity, "but you have the art of otiending." As he arose to go Mr. tireeley said: "I suppose you have read the lines of Tennyson : " "KiiKl hearts are more than coronets, Ami simple iaith than Norman blood. "I wish I had the art of pleasing, but I guess I have not." And so these two men parted, and, I think, with mutual esteem. J hey never saw each other again. CHICAGO SPECULATIVE MAR--KETS. Wheat Wan Kx-ited and Irregular, Corn Dull and Provisions Strong. Special to the Sentinel. I'liH Aoo, Jan. 'S-'u The wheat market on Vitalise this w eek has been excited and irregular, w ith the volume of business very heavy. On the early days the stiffening was taken out of the d;nl by a teueral fall of suow over tbe winter wheat country, reported large export shipments of gold, and &n absurd canard that tlie Queen's speech would recommend a tariff on American grain, brega, Lester and the Keain-joues crowd sold pretty steadily, but the market seemed to be carried down principally by the selling of long" stutV, the dumping of several miiliou bushels which strong bulls" had been hanging on to tince May left. i0c W-ing the feature. Tne visible supply statement showed a lair dtcrease, but wuli William imnu nud other Piominciit exporters deelariue that the market whs "e aliove any possfble shippiujr basis, a iirinkuue ol" TlHi.OcO iii slocks iu biht nit no figure. The bears were strong and determined to bring out the last parcel of "long" wheat, while hoders. weakened by chronic defeats, were iu no shape to do battle. Values lei! steadily until May touched Mi'-aud a bull con id not have been found with a search warrant. Then, as is usual when everybody has given up hope, tlie turu came. It as sudden nud unex eoied. A little crow d of "shorts'' covered, and it seemed to strike the prolessionals all at once that while the situation bad undergone no special change, a natural resetion was due. aud it v. as desirable to gf-t fresh Hues out at higher prices. This movement was assisted bv light receipts, reports of another approaching buzzard, and dispatches reparting a lamely increased miiiiiig demand at Kansas City, Toledo and ix-troit. The collapse of "Piunger" Oliver, w ho once ran a corner at St. Louis, and who bas been a persistent bull for two years, and the increase of about a million bushels 1:1 the amount afloat, were depressing influences, but as it was said that the latter fact was due 10 American shipments, the argument counted for little. The question now is. "Has wheat started 011 a permanent upward march."' Most dealers think not, and argue iu support of their views that if prices are bid up now, the market will soon be iu the same unsatisfactory position that it was before the break. "We have had a good dec-line," remarked. K. J. Kcmiett, ''but if the deal docs uot stay down long enou;h to get rid of onioi! of oursitrplns grain, matters will not be helped to any extent; whereas, if we cau induce a good movement at cheap figures, we may get high prices for the remaiuder. On the other hand the temptatien to buy May wheat around Me, or cash w heat around 7t3c, Is ccriainlv a great one in spite of the fact that the chief 'hhort' intcre-t is now lielicved to be the sales of carries against cash property." Corn has ruled very dull, but about steady. The receipts have been moderate aud buying by shippers fair. JTovisions have 'oeii strong, esneci.-illy iork, but although there have been rumors 01 a deal by I'lgnkington, and a rumor that conservative meu are inclined to believe packers are simply advancing tbe market in order to sell against their manufactured product, sitocks are expected to show up heavy at the next posting, but a light run of hogs is predicted for February. l'roen to Death. sa.
