The Mean Attempt of a Party Organ to Mis represent Postmaster Jones. The following, credited to the New York Tribune, appeared without comment in the Isewsof yesterday: Reports of the queer doings of Aquilla Jones, the Indianapolis Postmaster, have reached VNasn ir.gton. Fven Mr. Vilas is believed to regret now that he yielded so readily to the solicitation of the late Vi e President Hendricks in this appoint ment. The Grand Army men are lodging com plaints against Jones for the wholesale discharge of crippled I'nion soldiers in the Indianapolis Pcstothce. Jenes haa been in office now for a little more than a year. In this time he has discharged a ut twenty I'nion soldiers, some of them oadiy wounded and disabled. Iheir places have been filled by ward heelers of the worst sort. hot a single I'nion soldier haa been appointed by Mr. Jones, and net a single Republican has ob tained employment in his office under the civil service examinations bad from time to time "When Mr. Jones took charge of the office there were ninety-two employes in th Po3tcmce and Government buudinz. Uf these twenty-eight were Union soldiers. In all the changes made by him as Postmaster and custodian so far, 1e haa removed eighteen eld soldiers and appointed fourteen other old soldiers in their places. There are ten remaining of the old soldiers Mr. Jones fonnd in cCce, which, with the fourteen he has appointed, makes twenty-fosr now hold in positions, against twenty-eistht when he took the cilice. When we reflect that the Republicans have appointed but twenty eight Union soldiers in twenty rears, and that Mr. Jones has appointed four teen in one year, we do not think the Republicans have much to boast of. The man who wrot this special from Washington to the New York Tribune may bare been enfy a fool, writing of things he knew nothing about; but the man who copied it into the Indianapolis News knew it was a lie, and could have no motive to de fame the PostofÜce and Mr. Jones except that he is a Democrat. And this is a paper published at home where Mr. Jones lives, a paper that pretends to be non-partisan, and months loudly for fair play and desent jour ahem. Anyone who doubts the statements here made can the names of those removed and those appointed by cflice. calling at the PostJoha Kelly's Power a aa Orator. ICincinnati Enquirer.

White Plymouth Bocks, White Wyandottes and lMrigos. Professional poultrymen are continually seeking for some new feature with which ta tempt persons attacked with the hen fever. Their greatest success just now is with White "Wyandottes and Plymouth Kocks, snowy plumage combined with the other fine char acteristics of these noted breeds, making them unusually persuasive agents in coaxing dollars out of the pockets of customers. Both have sprung from "sports," a term applied to freaks of natHre in poultry, bometimes one or more chicaens in a Drood will aiuer distinctly from their mates in color, while possessing all their other characteristics. b;veml years ago a breeder oi l lynioutü ikOCKS was surprised to lind a white chicken in a bn od hatched from supposedly pure Plym outh eg??. As it grew to cockerelbood it developed all the characteristics of its breed, but rettirjfu its snowy plumage. In a s:mnar manner another breeder obtained a white P.vrcouth Hock pullet. The two were mated, and the result has been the waite va riety. The origin of the white Wyandottes was much the same, and while neither o tlese varieties have yet found a place in the Standard, their friends claim they havi as much right there as the white Leh-irns, white Dorkictrs or white Games. Ar jther clear white breed of comparatively recent origin is the Uirigo, po?ses?in' chara-.teris-lics of the Plymouth Rock, light Erahma and Canada Game, from which it is derived. The average weight of the cocks is ten pounds and of th - Hens eight ; tne legs are bright yellow and free from feathers; the combs are erect ml of medium size, and the eggs are larre and brown. The Uixigos are said to be cne table fowls and good layers all the year round. Losses from Soluble Fertilizers. Farm, Field r.nd stockman. There is a heavy loss annually in this country in improperly applvine fertilizers to the boil. Farmers do not consider that the ingredients of the best and most availa ble fertilizers are soluble in water, and while some are readily soluble, others are only sparingly so. For instance, nearly all the forms of lime are insoluble, especially those used for agricultural purposes, but plaster (sulphate of lime) may be dissolved in a large quantity of water. That is. it is only very spar:ngly soluble, and does not quickly pass off by leeching or washing, and for that reason a single application of plaster daring the season will alTord a constant supply of that kind of plant food till the crop to which it has been applied matures, as each shower dissolves a portion, and affords addi tional prepared food for the plants, but ni trate of soda (saltpeter) dissolves very readily, and in a small quantity of water, the re sult being that it is quickly and easily taken up by the crop. The lime compounds not being readily soluble are in direct contrast with the salts of potash, all of whica are soluble. Superphosphate, which contains free phosphoric acid, is soluble, but this sol ubility is partially arrested by the revision of the free phosphoric acid after it reaches the sou, but pure ground bone only gives olf its particles as it is decomposed. Jo prevent loss of fertilizing material the applications should oe made in a manner so as to present them for dissolution in accord ance with the texture of the soil and the re quirements of the plants. Ground bone, on clay soils, may be applied in full quantity at one operation, but ol light, sandy soil the amount should be reduced, and the bone applied more frequently. On light, sandy soils au ginü3 oi soluble fertilizers do best when they are applied at intervals. If the desire Is to apply a mixed fertilizer of 300 pounds per acre, better results will be obtained it J.A) pounds are applied early in the spring and 150 pounds ju--t before the seed is formed, and if the soli is very sandy the 3'JO pounds may be divided into three parts, and applied at three different times, and thecons(iuence win be a larger crop ana more beneht from the fertilizer than when the whole amount is applied at one operation. Labor is bu; a 11 Jl 1! a f email uem in tne application oi anuiciai fertilizers, as the amounts used are small and they are applied broadcast, while the fre quent use Keeps tne plant iood always near the surface and always ready for the coming ram, whicn dissolves it and gives the crop an abundant supply of food. A Word Abont Stacking. Kansas City Farmer. The object of putting grain and hay in stacks is to save it from loss by rain. The secret of good stacking lies in making it shed water, and to do this there must be a thatch ing, a kind of straw shingling on every part of the outside above a few feet from the ground. All the outside straw or hay must incline aownwar J, ana it must, nave mat tendency fixed when the stack is built. The hist thing to be learned and remem bered abont stacking is to keep the middle full. Start in the middle of the foundation. Put the first forkfull there and build around it. Not only must the middle be kept full. but it must have the most tramping if any is done, the point being that if any part of the stack is more solidly built than another part It ought to be the middle, so that in settling the middle will not sink faster than the out side. Then (in case of hay) if the outside layers are so arranged with the fork as that the stalks and blades be straightened out In clining downward, they will settle that way. The same principle holds with wheat, rye and oats, but it is not bo difficult to get the straws into proper position because they are bound In bundles beforehand. Hut the stack must be begun on the middle of the founda tion. Lay a bundle down, then put another on top of that, letting the butt end extend a little beyond the heads oi the under shear. Build on and around these, tops in, butts out, ring after ring, until the bottom is large enough. It the stack is to be long a rick and not round, then, when the rings widen to the proper size as to width, build back and forth on the two sides that are to be run out as ends. Widen the stack a little as it is raised to about six feet, then place two or three layers so as to keep the outside going up perpendicularly. After that draw in until the stack is finished. As soon as the stack is high enough to commence the drawirg is, the middle should have an extra filling. On a stack of ordinary width the

middle, wnen drawing in is Degun, ougnt to be at least two feet higher than the outside.

Keep it that way to the top. W hen grain is very short, it is not best to undertake to widen any np to the "bulge," because there is danger of the sheaves supping out. Where the straw is long enough, the stack may easily oe extended inree or four feet on each side beyond the outer lines of the foundation, and that makes room for a good deal more grain than can be put into a stack that is run np straight, or drawn in from the bottom. The writer of tis always did his stacking of grain, except the filling of the middles, on his knees. That was the rule in those days. Eut the work can be aa well done standing by using a good fork to place the heavy sheaves. Every bundle ought to be pressed into piace Dy me stackers weight upon it. A stack, whether oi gram or -nay, auer it is finished and settled some, ought to be raked so as to comb out the straw and make a good thatching. The top may be secured by a few sticks tethered with straw or nay bands, twisted and ten to twelve feet Ion?, and thrown across the top of the stack. If a rick, the weights out to be about four feet apart They need not to be heavy just enough to keep the bands in place. Insects Injurious to Vegetation. Boston Journal. J As soon as the green leaf expands myriads of insignificant bugs, with appetites made voracious by a season of fasting, fill the air and settle upon each growing leal, to begin their work oi destruction ; or, n tneir appetites are not equal to the work of completely destroying all of the leaves as fast as they grow, they will each lay a thousand or two oi f frgs, that a muiMuae oi disgusting worms may hatch out to honeycomb the leaves, and thus not only destroy their beanty, but also their vitality. We wonder if the preen oliveleaf which the dove returned to the ark with had any bugs or worms on it, or were they still sheltered in the ark? Man trains the elephant, and even makes the lion obey him; but when he comes to the flea, the mosauito or the apple maggot, he strikes right and left at random, only beating the air or boxing his own ears, while the little torments raise their voices in songs ot gladness, or perhaps hop a few inches higher. rom the erst expanding leaf of early spring to the chilly winds of autumn man Is compelled to keep up the battle with the de structive insects or be content to see his earden orchard stripped of every green leaf, and instead of having a harvest of fruit and veg etables have only a harvest oi worms and bugs. The creeping things of the earth seem to be on the increase, thus compelling man to be continually inventing new weapons of destruction. Thus far the race between the destructive insects and the man seem to be about equal, with some doubts as to which will eventually conquer. The best scare yet made by man is the use of paris green, and the best scare mady by the insects is the introduction of the apple maggot one just about offsets the other. The insects have found no way to avoid the poisonous effects of the paris green and the man has found no way to destroy the maggot, who is vet master of the situation, and reiens supreme in the orchard, selecting the largest and sweetest apples, riddling them from skin to core with out fear of being molested by man. What the next scare will be, or by which side, time only will tell. We must make the beit t e of what weapons we have, and exercise cur highest wisdom to improve them. Balled Bees. Farairie Fanner.l In walking among the hives I noticed in front ot one of them a ball of bees as larte as a walnut. I conjectured that a queen was the center of this nucleus, and poking off the bees, and thereby getting several stints. found I was correct. I caught the queen, ceia ner in my enclosed hand, and procur ing a queen cape to put her in, went into a closed room before a win 3ow, so if she got away, she could be caught upon the glass. 1 did not discover the colony to which she belonged, as all the bees I offered her to rejected her; so I introduced her into a queenless colony. lo save a queen when balled, throw the entire mass into water; then self-preserva tion will occupy the attention of each bee, and she can be picked out without danger from stings or or lniunng thequeen. It is risky to pick off the bees from a balled queen, as they in the excitement are liable to stirjg her. Queens do not sting, but the sensation of holding one in the closed hand Is peculiar. The first swarm of this year issued May 22. There would probably have been earlier ones if brood had not been taken from the strong to buil'' the weaker. This swarm issued about i n and clustered upon a small peach tree. I ook a hive full of frames of comb and t ut it near the cluster, with a broad cover in front of it, and scraped off some of the cluster witn my hands upon the cover in front of the hive, and drove them in with a little 8molre. When they had all entered the hive, I placed it upon its summer stand. fcome Dee-keepers recommend putting a frame of unsealed brood into the hive of a swarm to prevent its leaving, as bees do not desert uncapped brood. I htve never found it necessary, as bees will seldom desert a clean, cool hive placed in the shade as soon 83 put in it. If old hives are used, they have neretoiore been tnomugniy e'eansed; u new one, rinsed with co!d water to remove dU3t and freshen them. Carrots as a Profitable Crop. Farm, Field and Stockman. Farmers should make a specialty of cairots as a farm crop in preference to turnip, al though we prefer to advise the cultivation of both crops. The carrot is usually neglected simply because it requires considerable work in the beginning ot its growth, which is not so with turnips, which germinate quickly and soon mature. But there are advantages In favor of the carrot which make it prefer able in many respects to all other root crops. in the hrst place the carrot keeps well dur ing winter, and a large yield can be secured from an acre of ground. The crop is one that supplies a change of food in winter for horses and cattle, while they do not aCect the milk or injure its flavor, but, on the contrary, add to the quality and co!r of the butter. In regard to the difficulty l cultivating carrots the labor is only at the start, and much of it may be avoided by working the bou in a very Hue condition and using well rotted manure. The rowi should be far enough apart to admit of the horse hceor cultivator, and the seed should be dropped in stools one foot apart in order to allow oi the hoe being used. As soon as the seeds are sprouted out of the ground it may be necessary to clean out the grass very carefully, but alter that the hoe will do all the work necessary between the plants. If the seed is sprouted in moist earth,- placed in a warm place before planting, much time will be saved. Once the young plants are under way taey soon take care of themselves. as they send down long tap roots and, therefore, endure drought well. Their great value as a feeding crop for horses, steers, cows, hogs and sheep should make them a necessa ry adjunct to all farms. The TTalking Horse. Journal of Agriculture Not every horse can be made to trot in 2:10, it does not matter what sort of a horse it may be. or what kind of training it has been subjected to. But it is reasonably cer tain that every horse may be trained to be a reasonably fast walker. And after all, that is the most important gait that can possibly , be taught a horse. It may not seem desirable that a race horse 4Ata Vism-iVI VsA A fact wallrA Saa uj m uuttci Duvuiu asc m tviA.i ui engine horses may dispense, without detriment, with that gait, as they are only wanted to go on a run. But every other horse that we can think of would be a more valuable horse if he had been trained as a fast walker. Borne men and women are possessed of what is sometimes called a "nack of doing things," "dispatch In business." Such a one can accomplish generally two or three times as much as others in a given time. Such a person stands in the same relation to others in doing work or business, as the fast

walking korse does to the slow goer in whatever kind of work ho may be employed. In plowing or hauling one fast team will probably do as much work as two slow ones. Euch a team is worth more than twice the value of a slow - one, because it does double the work at a far less expense, than two of such. The capacity of a horse for fpstwalking is to afar greater-extent the subject of training, than his other gaits, and if -taken in time and persevered in, it is safe to say that almost any colt maybe developed into a fast walker. This fact is almost wholly ignored. Young horses grow np from colthood as a general thing without any sort of systematic effort to get them into this most useful habit of walking rapidly. It is a big mistake. It is surely worth a good deal of time and attention to develop a horse's greatest capacity for walking when itrmay add so much to his real worth. Nor is the horee the only animal that may be trained to do more work by doing it more quickly. Oxen, the proverbially slow, may be trained to do almost as much plowing or hauling as horses by not being allowed to fall into slow, "poky" ways. The writer has known a number of ox teams that did as much work as horses just because they had been trained to quick movements. People too come into the sams category. Children should be trained from the earliest infancy to do with dispatch whatever they have to do. Habits formed in childhood will remain for life. When once slow ways of doing things have become a fixed habit the children thus trained will make that kind of people who can never be hurried. By all means train the young, both human and animal, to move quickly, and it will add to their efficiency all their life.

Who Should Keep Bees? SL Paul Farmer. It is hardly necessary to say that all per sons are not capable ot becoming successful bee-keepers. Much depends upon the mat ter of taste and also upon the qualifications of the person. One might be eminently fit ted for certain other duties, but make a very poor manager of bees, and yet this would cast no reflection to his discredit. One thing primarily important is to become acquainted with the natural habits and instincts of the bee, which requires careful investigation, with an interested mind. Most bee-keepers have a fondness and sympathy for these little workers, regard ing them with a kindness of feeling which is due to every living creature. The powers of observation are enlarged, and a person becomes more useful, able and sus ceptible to the highest pleasures, for having studied some of these most valuable lessons in nature. With certain rural industries we may often expect fainy liberal returns, in spite of a considerable amount of neglect, but with Vee keepine it is different, and in most cases the lack of prompt attention means entire failure. The thoughtless, care less person will surely fall in bee keeping. He wbo is willing to give the subject his last thoughts, and only turns his attention to that direction after every other duty has been performed, will do well to leave this work to others. xees do not "work for nothing and beard themselves;" they require a reasonable amount oi intellitcnt care, just the same as everything else. It is certain, however, that no department on the farm has ever given larger returns for the outlay than the tees; to this hundreds can testify. W e verv often meet with thrifty farmers who say tbat their bees bring them more ready raoney than any other one thing in connection with the farm. In almost everv family composed of Eevral children, there will be at least one who would make a good bee-keeper if given a little encouragement for a start. To begin the business, a person should be mouerate; very little money should go into it until after cartfuliy study ing tee suDiect. it is necessary to read a good book on bee culture, and quite import ant to keep npwith the times by taking a good newspaper which gives reliable informa tion. A single colony is sufficient for a start, and ought always by a beginner to be purchased by a person regularly engaged in tne business, and wbo is not selling a patent right or ndirog a hobby of his own. cimplicity in in hives advised almost universally with modern bee-keepers. Nearly every one in dorsing a patent hive has one for sale, and is not a practical bee-keeper. All our standard bee books caution beginners in regard to this matter. The hives most generally used in the United States is known as the Langstroth hive, and bears no patent. No prose cutions need be feared by any one manufac turing or using it. o Thinning Fruit. Michigan Horticulturist. Wrhen planted in good soil, good thrifty fruits will nearly always overload themselves, and in order to secure the best, smothest and largest fruit, considerable tbinn'u must be done; this is especially the case with grapes and tree fruits. Choice apples, peaches, pears, qutnees; In fact, the best of all kinds of fruit command the best prices and always sell. Olttimes tb market becomes glutted with poor fruits. and the prices realized are really below whät it costs to produce them and sometimes they can not be sold at any price, while at the same time the choicest and best are selling at a profitable price. Too many fall into the error of thinking that by thinning they lessen the quantity so much tbat they prefer to let the fruit all re main. Ibis is a mis ta fee, as well as to think that bv thinning they lessen the profit on the fruit. When a tree is heavily loaded the fruit must necessarily te small &ud this will lessen the quantity : then the fruit being small win sell lcr a less price, and really cost more to sell, and you really lose rather than make by not thinning. Then in addition, when a tree or vine Is allowed-to overload and mature the fruit it is a strain upon the vitality of the tree, so much that a rest must be had and the next year the tree will fail to bear. henever tried judiciously, thinning fruit always pays; but It requires considerable courage when the trees are laden with young fruit to go over and pull off and throw away a considerable portion cf the fruit, loose who has never tried it, at first it would seem like a waste; yet it haa been tested sufficient ly to prove ls value. 'I be work, of course, should be done early, as toon after the fruit has set as possible. The longer the fruit grows after setting, the mere waste of vitality of the tree, that should go to the other fruit that It left upon the tree to mature. It should be done as evenly as possible an over tne tree, thin so as to give each specimen left as much room as possible,. Close crowding is what often makes ill-sbad fruit. If you have never been ta the habit of thinning try a few trees first to see the effect, and in a majority of cases you will conclude that it Is benenciaL FARM NOTES.

which can be recommended for shade in pastures along roadsides, as the hardy varieties of cherries are not affected by the tramping of stock or passing of vehicles, which would prove injurious to most other fruit trees. For erect growing trees, the head should be formed at about three feet from the ground ; but spreading trees should have the head five feet high. A tree with a low head is less likely to be broken down by the wind. and the branches will then be able to keep off the scorching rays of the sun from the trunks. The brown leaves on strawberry plants are caused by a fungus growth, and are evidence of disease. This fungus, unlike most others. thrives in a high temperature, and therefore some means of shading the p;ants is advised to prevent it. The spread of the fungus may be arrested by picking off the leaves and burning them. It is estimated that twenty-five acres of grass land are necessary to keep an animal the year round m Arizona. The total acreage of the Territory is about 48,000,000. On this basis it is easy to estimate the capacity jor cattle raising. But a serious drawback is water. I his will have to be supplied bv ar tesian wells if at all. As yet only about half of the grazing area is occupied. Melons were first called cantelouoes from beire cultivated at Canteluppi. a villi near Home, where they had been introduced fron Armema by missionaries. The name is said to be still in use in some parts of Europe for a class of deeply ribbed, ye'lowfieshed melons. In this country it is applied to different localities and the signifi cance of the word can not be wpII definevl as now used. Where room is abun':.: i . - 1 of hardy roses, if kept in good shape, is very attractive. Roses do not stand being crowded in with other shrubs, or being planted against fences or buildings very well. Their best ftlace is in a centrally located bed cut in the awn, allowing plenty ol air and sunshine. Circular or oval forms ot beds are pleasing ones. The plants may be set two or three feet apart each way, starting near the edge. Setting plants of other kinds in the bed be tween the roses is not advisable. Prizes for essays on various subjects c nnected with agriculture are offered by the Society of French Agriculturists, to be awarded during the session of 1867. Among the topics are the rotation of crops and system of culture, a better method of inocula tion with attenuated virus than tbat now in vogce, the fattening of animals on psures. the organization and working of mutual agricultural credit associations, treaties of commerce, and various diseases of the vine and some, other fruit trees. In 1890 prizes are to te given for the creation of fruit farms. It is likely that the commoa elder, which grows on moist land in all the Northern States and Canada, would be valuable in proportions of the Northwest, where there is a scarcity of fuel. On moist ground it makes a very rapid growth, and throws up many sprouts from the roots. It famishes excel lent poles for running beans, and the branches make good pea-sticks. The small twigs are used for making brooms for sweeping out barns and stables, The roots are very useful in binding the earth on the banks of streams, so that it will not wash away. A good deal depends upon the manner in which plants are handled at the time of planting as to whether they shall ouicklv start into growth and resume their full vigor at once. If well watered before being re moved from the pots or boxes in which they are growing, and carefully handled, with all the eoiI and roots attached to them when set into the ground, they will commence growth at once and show little ill effect from the transplanting, riantmg is best begun at the back or center of the beds, and if pot sible have all plants in the same row of a uniform size and shape, the tallest at the back, the smallest at the edge. A Man of Undoubted Integrity. Providence Journal. Mr. Holman, the old Indiana watch dog, made his annual speech on the subsidy question. It is always listened to with respect by Uepublicans and Democrats alike; for all re spect the Judge lor his undoubted integrity and good intentions. Mr. Holman has not a spark of genius in his composition, but he is a wonderfully well-developed man re garding the legislation f the last twentyfive years, and he makes no mistakes. The worst thing about him is his voice, which is weak and dismal, and as he grows older de generates more and more into a whine. As he warms up, however, he regains something of his old time vigor, and his sentences are enunciated with a clear ring. There is no doubt about it Holman is an effective speaker. He commands attention in the House. This is a great tribute, as any one who has ever looked upon the proceedings of that turbulent bear garden knows. There was not a man within the four walls of the House who did not hear the old watchdog's closing words: "I protest "gainst this presumption of wealth. I protest against a system of legis lation which imperils the integrity of Oon cress and invites unlawful and corrupt agen cies. I protest against legislation for the bensLt of the few at the expense of labor, l protest against this whole system of subsidy. which in ah ages has only create! great es tates and filled the land with poverty. And I plead for the earlier and better system. which secured to all men the equal protec tion of law and exact justice to all, protect ing all and granting favors to none." A Political Parrot. IPall Mall Gazette. A well-known centennarian has inst died in Paris. His name was Lenoir, and he was 103 years old. Lenoir was a parrot, and a rarrot rifted with remarkable talent. It was born in the reign of Louis Seise, and has con sequently witnessed the rise and lall of a large number of governments, it nas never emitted the house where it first saw the light. having been handed down Dy will to no less, than ten different owners of the house. Itbeloaeed to no less than ten different families. and its political notions were consequently somewhat mixed. Lenoir was a capital talker, and knew a number of phrases, which It often brought out very mal a propos. Since the reign of Charles X. there was a good deal of difficulty in getting the bird to learn anything new. However, a servant with Radical sympathies taught him in a few weeks to say "Vive Gambettal" This it occasionally varied with "A bas Kobespierre! ' which it had been accustomed to say during the Eeign of Terror. The last words of bis remarkable bird were, it ap pears, "urace pour Mane Antoinette. it in certainly wonderful, under the circum stances, how Lenoir succeeded in escaping the guillotine.

A JOLLY HANGING. A JI or derer' a Cheerful Adieu to a Wicked World.

I.ee Barnes was executed at Dover, Ark., one day last week, for the murder of Charles Holman, near Plummervnle, on November 20. - Barnes spent last night as is usual with criminals, sleeping very soundly and not waking until a late hour this morning. He ate a hearty breakfast and Epent the morning in receiving visitors. He ate a very hearty dinner at 12 o'clock. At 12:20, in company with Sheriff ljuinn and posse, he ascended the scaffold, running up the steps. He surveyed the crowd of three thousand present, and with a wave of the hand, said: "Gentlemen, how do you all do?" And turning to the guards said: "Right good crowd i.o witness my execu tion, and I never felt better in my life." Key. Mr. Jolly and some thirty persons on the scaffold sang: What a friend we have In Jesus. Into which Banes entered with spirit, his voice being heard round and lull, lie listened to the death warrant without a quiver, and when asked if he had anything to say, he stepped forward, made a bow and said: J ELLOW-C1TIZE5S, LADIES AKD UE5TLEMEN I am to be executed to-day for the horrible crime of murdering Charles Holman. I killed him for his money, and I want this to be a warning to everybody. I commenced my dreadful career with small crimes, and grew harder until I did not mind taking a man s life. I would have taken a life for $10, and if I did not like a man I would kill him for nothing. I was assisted m this crime by John Collins and Kussell Watson. I am ready to go. I can now meet my GoJ in peace." Fie then gave a detailed and minute de scription of the murder, in which he claimed to have shot If olman twice while on a pallet beside him and with his back turned, and that then Collins and Watson drew Holman from his pallet, and he Barnes struck him three times on the head with an axe. THE HARDEST OF ALL. After a statement about burying the body and his final capture, he said: "jSow, gentlemen, I come to the hardest thing of my life. It was a darling little girl whom I dearly loved, and to whom I was engaged to be married. After I was put in prison ehe married the man who prosecuted me before tbe examining trial. I do not blame her, but it is harder for me to bear than to be hanged by tbe neck. Now I am ready to go. My execution may be a warning to everybody." JJunng his speech he stopped several times to drink water. Jesus paid it all was eung, and during the singing Harnes went around to each one on the scaffold and embraced them, saying to each: "Meet me m Heaven." This scene brought tears to the eyes of nearly everyone in the assemblage, and your reporter expected every minute to hear a regular old camp-meeting shout, raised. A fervent prayer was offered by Rev. Joliy, in the midst of which that gentleman broke down, and clapping his hands together, shouted: Halleluiah, biers the Lord! and several joined in the chorus, Barnes responding with a loud amen !" Atl2:o0 Barnes stepped upon the fatal trap, While being pinioned he surveyed the crowd calmly and serenely, and not a muscle was seen to quiver. Just as the black cap was being drawn down he said: "Good-oye to the world." A Pretty Story. Pall Mall Gazette. A pretty story, if one could believe it, is told by a Paris correspondent of a Vienna pa per. A short time ago a matinee musicaie was given by the uacness iamotte, and among the guests was tne charming Driueelect of President Cleveland, then in Paris completing her trousseau. The young lady was the object of many marks of distinction, I . v - t ; a , . i. me nign ariswcrocy tuxruuuueu iier, auu there wal muc h talk of her position.

"All would be well. only von will have no title," said she; "you will only be called Mrs. Cleveland." "Uut that name is only for strangers," was the an swer of the fair American; "the President has for intimacy confer ed upon me a very particular title." 1. very body looked up curf , a , j i ir: f l . , lousiy, auu oiubiiiug ueeoi v, aii r uiaom ad ded, "He calls me his darling, tan a wife desire a better title?"

Speaking of Chinamen, the Historian fell in with one of the race as he was whirlin? madly out Washington street on the front platform of a car the other day. Extraor dinary as it may seem, tbe car ceased to whirl for considerable periods now and then, and one of these ceases occurred directly in front of Jordan fe Marsh's store, where there wasn't much to gaze at except the dainty costumes displayed in tbe window. So the Historian and the Chinaman gazed at the dainty cos tumes, and there was a very superior sort of smile clearly perceptible on the Chinaman's face. "Not many desses like that for the ladies in China. John." said the Causasian. The Chinaman 8 superior smile extended noticeably in either direction. "Chinese ladies no likee such dresses," said he. "Too much cloth ; likee show small feet. Mehcan lady heap big feet 'and he measured off a space of about two feet in tbe air with his hands; ' got tee wear big dress no likee show feet.

It is an affection of the nerve intensified by a cold. Repose, bringing with it a cessation of pain, is induced by Hortetter's Stomach Bitters, which is a fine nerve tonic and tranquilizer. It is also a reliable means of checking rheumatism and gout.
