MY QUARTER SECTION. Wc were friends. We had taught together in one of onr ward schools for six years. ’ Together we had defied the petty tyranny of tjie man whom,an inscrutable l ro.idence ha.! placed over ns in the capacity of principal. Together we had prepared the “Spreads’’ and “Blow outs,'’ generic names for the official show of examina’ion papers, drawings, etc., that are exhibited to the /world.of admiring parents as the individual and collective result of the gendus of their individual and collective progeny. In the long vacations we had gone on various’ excursions together, road the most approved educational and dterary weeks, and, in short, wintered it and summered it together for

■PJL.Y iUli^ V/l UUIUSW WC licit I planned always to live together and iecp the most delight ul of old maid’s halls, and—well, vve were all that is meant by the term intimate friends. 1 think it was in .March of 188'-' that the idea struck us. I do not remember what paper it was that illumined our darkness; however, that is of no consequence. It was a wet Maroh morning and I was standing in the hall of the Sixth Ward school house^trying to dry my draggled skirts at the register and fee'ing well, as though it would be eminently safe for the future candidate!) for the Presidency to cultivate the foreign ac omplishment of walking Spanish that day, when Miss Arabella ! Thompson came in with a wet umbrella in one hand and a paper in theolher. iThompy was always funny. It would lliave taken a veritable deluge of forty >days and forty nights to have made Jlier v^fling to acknowledge that it was ibad weather. She came m smiling iwith a br'ght “Good morning,” and, ■without waiting for me to air my eloquence on the subject, she began: “See hero, my dea'r, I have the ,‘br'ghtest plan you ever heard of for our [vacation,'” and she proceeded to tinfold jher paper and her plan. The paper contained a glowing aecount of the opening splendors of the mighty Territory of Dakota, and die unparallelled chauecs of making a fortune and gaining a home by going out; to the vast, iunoccupiet^vrai'ries and “taking up a claim,” just picking it up, you know, so easy and com ortable. Then fol- < 'lowed a statement of the laws regard- ' iing the acquiring of the various kinds 'of claims, homestead, pre-emption and timber claims. j “You just go out there, enter your ■claim, put up a sod house, live in it six months, prove up, pay $1.25 an acre, and you have vour claim to live' on or to sell.” • “Just like Old Jack Means,” I interrupted. “Yes,” said Thornpy, laughing, “and make heaps an’ gobs o’ money, all out o’ Congress land.” “But,” I objected, “you forget that the school year is pine months, and our worthy forefathers in arranging the year nave,' with their usual ’want of foresight, planned for only twelve months. Whore are you going to get the other three?” But no object ion that 1 could urge had any weight with Thornpy, for, though 1 am much older than she, she is much better looking than I, and, consequently, very headstrong. So she overruled every objection that I could • ibring forward, and, arranging with the Board of Edu -ation for a six months’ vacation, said we would go. The upshot of the whole matter was that 1 meekly yielded, and our noons and recesses for the next three months were spent in making calculations as to what it would cost us to carry out our Cvs, what supplies in the way of ks, provisions, etc., wo should take with us, and how we should dress, I was for dressing in bloomer costume and carrying a few revolvers, but Thompv would hear of neither. She said there was no use in our looking like frights just because we were going to do something a little unusual, but then she always was vain of her good looks. As to revolvers, she declared that she could not sleep with one in the house. I yielded about the dressing, but 1 was iirm about the revolver. “You would be in a pretty condition, wouldn’t you,” said I, “if when you got your house of ‘mud and dirt,’ like the foolish "little pigs of our nursery days, some tramp or other wild animal should come along and take a notion to murder you? No, I mean to have some means of protection,” and I did.

_ i wisn in me cause 01 public instruction. which, as a teacher, of course I • am interested in, that I had our calculations to give to the world, but unfortunately they are lost, and the table of our real expenses does not help me to reproduce them. Ah, well! I fear that, could 1 present it to you, it would be robbed of ite illusions "and, like the rose which the cunning alchemist recreated from its own ashes. Without the bloom, without ths lost perfume. However, I remember that the expenses <j of our six months’ vacation and our quarter-section were to cost us just 9354.23. We were very exact. I suggested to Thompy that we could spend the extra two cents in chocolate creams and have an even twenty-five* but she was always close, and she said no, we would do no suoh thing, that it looked better a good deal to have the three cents there than not; that ijn all official reports they always managed to have an uneven number to show how very exact they were in their calculations. We always spoke of our possessions as our “quarter-section,” as it sounded a great deal larger that way. We took a half bushel ofwalnuts to plant, walnnt timber is so very vainablo, you i kpow. Thompy said we were like the man who planted acorns for bis first' crop. We took about a peck of garden without a handle, but time would fait m to tell o| all the ab

surdities we penetrated. We were ready at last I presume the journey was much like that of any other two lone teachers who should undertake the same- We ng^t with the most perfect courtesy from railroad officials, hotel-porters, hackmen and. fellowtravelers. Of course we took in all the points of interest about St. Paul and Minneapolis, and we used to enjoy immensely the imaginary sensation it would create among our follow travelers if they knew of our daring project, but we never electrified them by disclosing it. They regarded us as a couple of innocent and inoffensive teachers in search of recreation. How we enjoyed, the journey from St. Paul to our destination! It was here that we had our tir~-t glimpse of the lovely prairies, gorgeous with the red lilies of the North and a thousand other Bowers that crossed the waves of the prairie-grass stretching away in end.ess succession as far as the eye could reach. 1 remember distinctly the first spell I had of sinking of the heart. It was when I .saw, in the midst of a vast plain, a lone, forlorn little speck, away off toward the horizon that was some one’s home, not another dwelling n ‘sight in all that wide lonely prairie; the next was when we reached Lawnsdale and found that the city consisted of two tents and a woodshed. It was evening when we passed through Moorehead and. Fargo, and the luminous ball of electric light shining high over the latter city looked weiraly beautiful. We reached our destination in the dim twilight of a summer morning, and stopped to get breakfast and rest a little before starting on our’tour of investigation preparatory to taking up:- our claims. Somehow it did not seem so easy as it had at home aud not a quarter as romantic, but Thompy was as enthusiastic as ever, and when l said that I wished I had brottght a few trees •Jong in u>y trunk to improve the landscape a little she said it was wilder without and what wc ,wasted to the sunshine. 4 After interview'ng the land agent and a lot more work and bother we finally started over the prairie on an ox-cart. The agent said he thought he knew a place we would like, where we could have our land joining and the other part of the section occupied by a man from New York who had his lamily along and his brother-in-law. Hid you ever ride after an ox team? I hope so, for if you have you will appreciate many privileges that you would perhaps otherwise pass over as but slight advantages. We moved through the urairie

(but that was all) and looked at the wide monotonous landscape. After the first hour I remarked to Thompy th it I thought we had better go into camp on the wagon as we seemed to be about as far as when we started, but Thompy said she liked it, that she was always afraid of fast horses, and she could got as much exercise anl all the scenery she wanted from her perch on the oxcait. Pretty soon she did get all the scenery she wanted, and then that exasperating girl pulled out a microscope, and pr x ceded to analyze flowers, ust as aggravatingly cheemd and happy as though she were at a picnic. Along in the afternoon we came to the place of the man from New York, and here we got some dinner and were shown the glories of a sod house. We had seen them at a distance before, but nothing like this. This was a veritable ^palace of a sod house, with real windows and papered walls, with partitions of unbleached muslin trimmed with Turkey red that looked very pretty and home like. Thompy went into raptures over it, and regretted deeply that wo had not brought something a'ong for our walls. 1 didn’t see as she needed to display our ignorance before that strange woman, but that was just her all over -not a bit of proper pride. After dinner we went with the oxteam to inspect the other part of the section, which the woman said she hoped we would like, as she wished wo might be neighbois; she found it rather lonely being eight miles from town and no near neighbors. I couldn’t see as it made any difference where we took up our claim; it all looked alike to mo, and 1 was beginning to think lit might prove a white elephant anyway. We went to town to get the necessary papers and a man to help get the houses ready, for we were to have one apiece, and we wanted to investigate the little store. The woman from New York, whose name was Herder, said that her husband and brother would do all they could to help us, and in a short time our houses were ready for us to enter and take possession of our; long-dreamed-of claims. They didn’t look very inviting, I can tell you. We could find no paper to cover the unsightly walls, and our furniture was of the scantiest. We could not make both houses look inviting, so we used mine for a kitchen, though we conscientiously slept in it half the time. They were very near together and not far from our neighbors. When we were fairly settled and had hail our first meal i told Thompy that I felt like the Swiss Family Robinson; she laughed and said she didn’t see how I could feel like the whole family without having a stable in the house, as they always did. Now I think it shows an envious disposition to always be makiug fun of a romantic idea just because you didn’t think of it yourself, but 1 punished her by putting my revolver in sight in a hole wh:ch 1 dug for it in the wall. She dared not take it away, so she always passed by on the other side of the room. We got water from a well belonging to the Herders, who tried in every possible way to soften the hardships of our lot, though Thompy always pretended there wore none— that spoiled bread, no fresh meat, no fruit, and all the horrors of canned goods were fun. We got fresh vegetables occasionally from our neighboi s,as we had no garden, it being too late to make one. When I complained it was not pleasant, to say the least, to be reminded of our lblgrim mothers and other pioneers. Because they had to eat nasty messes is no reason that I can see for mv likin? them.

Our neighbors were nice, educated people, and 1 have nothing to say against them, but 1 did think it wasn’t exactly necessary for the brother, George Bradley, a tall:, good-looking Yankee, to be always coming over to our place on one excuse or another. If it wasn’t to do something it was to see if we didn’t want something, and Thompy would always stop ami talk with him. Sometimes he would come over of an evening to hear me play, for I had my violin along and he had the good taste to like music, though he used to sit and stare at Thompy while I played. We spent a good many evenings in front of our sod house, I with my violin and Thompy doing nothing but looking picturesque, while George Bradley lay on the dry grass at our feet and stared at her. I didn’t mind it for she was well worth looking at, with her soft brown eyes and sweet obstinate mouth And she' was too old for any such nonsense as flirting, else where would be our old maid’s ball? The Herders would come over occasionally for a short time, but the baby usually kept them at home. They had a good many cattle, which they hired a boy to herd, and, what with their farm work and getting ready for tho long, cold winter, they were busy all day and very tired when night came. The long, monotonous days dragged by. I tola Thompy that the evening and the morning were the first day, and all the others were iust like it She opened her eyes and looked shocked. She seemed to enjoy everything, and flitted about helping Mrs. Herder in a neighborly way. playing wisi» tl»o b&

by. imalysitng flowerf, and just sitting still and watching the shadow drift over the grass, and grew so brown and rosy. for my.*ielf, I grew almost to bate the long, still days, and, in spite of the nev-er-ceasing winds, days so alike that yon could not tell one week from another or Monday from Saturday, to long for November and our return to the civilized world. September came,, and I thought of the changing woods and autumn sound of winds among the branches, and it seemed as though it would be almost like Heaven to see a tree. I said so to Thompy, and she responded by singing: 1 O’er nil the wide, extended plain Shines one eternal dayl I shall never forget one day about the middle of the month. Mr. Herder had been at the sheds near the honso stacking corn :fcr the winter cse of the cattle. We could hear him singing about the place all the drowsy afternoon, and now and again his wife would call to him in her high, sweet voice. George Bradley was in town, and just about six the boy came driving tine cattle before him. Mrs. Herder was at our ■ door with the baby in her arms inviting us to come to tea.' We all stood there 3u the late sunshine watching 'the cattle as they came slowly- over tne prairie, stopping to nibble the grass here and there unuil urged on by the boy, who rode a spiteful little pony. *As they came up Mr. Herder paused in his work, and, seeing us, waved his hand, let down, the bars to the inclosure, and stepped back, holding in his band the bay-knife with which he had been working. The cattle parsed in one after another, and only the big Durham ball—Mr. Herder’!! special pride— stopped to sample the straw. Mr. Herder struck at him with the tiat side of the knife, and the next moment a terrible thing was happening. The enraged an'rnal turned upon him, and, catching him on its cruel horns, tos-ed him high in the air. I saw the boy dashing away across the nrairie fee the help whi h it would have bcm ' madness f-»r him to have attempted to give. I heard lirs. Herder cry: “My God, the brute will k ill him!” as she sank on her knees with a look of agony on her face, the like of which I pray I may never see again. Thompy stood as if turned to stone, till, at- a cry from the defenseless man out there all alone, she turned, and snatching the revolver from the wall where it had been avoided so long she dashed by us to bis help.

“Arabella Thompson!” I cried, clutching at her as she passed me, “have you lost your senses?” She was gone! I sank down on my knees, and, burying my face in my hands, lost all consciousness save of a horrible siekeuing pain in the place where iny hoart used to beat. 1 believe 1 know something of the tortures of the lost in that space. I do not know whether it was long or short, it seemed foiever. The first thing of which I became conscious was the noise of voices in excited question and answer. I raised myself from the [ ground and saw George Bradley and several others about the prostrate body of Mr. Herder. He still lived, though badly hurt, and they soon had him on the beit waiting for the doctor to come from the town. They found Thomny unconscious not far from where the bull had died, the revolver was some distance beyond; where she had thrown it after shooting. George Bradley brought her in in his arms, and we could none of us make enough of her. “ How did you ever do it, you who are so much afraid of firearms?’’ 1 ask. “There was nothing else to do,” she answered simply. “ How did you aim?” asks some one. “I didn’t aim, 1 just shut mv eyes and piaved and,then shot and threw it as far as I could.” 1 believe she was more afraid of the revolver than she was of that horrible beast. After that the two families got sort of mixed up. Mr. Herder, nursed by us all, struggled slowly back to life. Mrs. Herder could not do enough for Thom py, anil as for that George Bradley, he acted as though she belonged to him. 1 began to realize about this time that the prospect of our model old maid s hall was growing beautifully less. It did not improve my temper when the cold weather began to threaten and we with fi whole month yet to stay. When November d d come'it found us fairly snowed in with no possible hope of tsI cape. Of course there was. no use freti ting, but that was no excuse for the ex1 aggerated cheerfulness with wfiieh ! Thompy met this misfortune. The long winter days, hopeless and relentless, dragged by. There were two people, though, who did not find the days too dark, or the winter too long, but it is rather slow fun for a third party to watch the progress oi love-making through a long Dakota | winter. Wh en the late,' cold spri ng finally released me, I turned my back on my ruined estate and blasted hopes, aud, leaving the happy lovers behiud me (their claims joined), 1 found my way back to the Sixth Ward schoolhouse, a sadder, poorer, and, I hope, a wiser woman. My quarter section and my winter in Dakota cost me just $8tX>.23 (and 1 can’t afford to spend the two cents in chocolate creams), to say nothing of my ruined castles in Spain an il the loss of my friend.

TILDES'S KEPL1', lb* 8a|t of Greyatooa Makes Formal Reply to the Resolution* Adopted and Transmitted by the National Democratic CoaTentloa. Chicago, Iu, October 8. After several weeks of delay occasioned by his feebffe condition and the constant and pressing demands ol private affairs upon his time and attent on, exGovernor Samuel J. Tilden has found an opportunity to answer the communication of the special committee of the National Democratic Convention. His reply was as follows: G ievstoxe, October A Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Commute*: I thank you for the hind terms in which you have commuuiratfd resolutions concerning me adopted by the late National Democratic Convention. 1 share your conviction that reform in the adm n stration of the Federal Government, which Is our great National want, 8nd is indeed essential to the res oration and preservation Of the Government itself, can only be achieved through the agency of the Democratic party and by instating its lepre entatlvcs in the chief magistracy of the United States. The noble historical traditi os of the Democratic party: the principles in which it was educated, and to which it has ever been in the main faithful: Us freedom lrorn corrupt intluences,. which grow up in prolonged posse sson of power, and the nature of the elements which constitute it, ail contribute to qualify it for that mission. REPUBLICAN CHARACTERISTICS. The opposite chat acier istics and conditions which attach to the Republican party make it hopeless to expect that that party will be able to give better government than the debasing system of abuses, which, during its ascendency has infec.ed official and political life in this country, HISTORICAL. The Democratic party had-its origin in the efforts of the more advanced patriots of the Devolution to resist perversion of our Government from the ideal contemplated by the people- Among its conspicuous founders are Benj. Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Sami. Adams and Jno. Hancock, of Massachusetts, Geo. Clinton and Robert RJavingstone. of New York, and George Wyth and James Madison, of Virginia. From the election of Mr. Jefferson t s Pres dent in 1800 for sixty years the Democratic party < ineted our National policy. It extended the boundaries of the Republic and laid the foundation of all our National grestne s. while it preserved the limitation imposed by the constitution a id maintained the simple and pure system of domestic administration. On the other hand the Republican party has always been dominated by the principle^ which favor legislation for the benefit of particular classe s at the expense of the body of the people. It has become deeply taint d With the abuses which naturally grow upduring long possession of unchecked power, especially in a period of civil war and false finance. The patriotic and virtuo is elements in it are now unableto emancipate it f rom the swav of selftsh interests which subordinate public duty to personal greed. The n o t hopeful of the best citizens it contains despair of its amendment except through its temporary expulsion from power,

lawii rnaiiu«oci% It has been boastingly asserteJ by a modern Mu:sacburetts statesman, struggling to reconcile hliu.-e f and his followers to its Presidential candidate, that the ltepublican party contains a d'sproportionatc share of the wealth, the culture and the intelligence of the country. The unprincipled Grafton, when taunted by James II. with his personal want of conscience, answered: ‘That is true, but I belong to a party that has a great deal of conscience.'* Such reasoners forget that the same claim has been made in alt ages and countries by the defenders of ali wrongs against new reforms. it was alleged by the tories of the American revolution against the patriots of that day; it was repeated against Jefferson, and afterward a rainst Jackson, it is alleged by the Conservatives against those who in England are now endeavoring to en arge th( popular suffrage. REFORM NECESSARY. All history showed that reform in Government must not be from those who sit serenely on the social mountain tops, eyeing the DeneHt8 cf the existing order of things. Even the divine author of our re'Uion found his followers not among complacent Pharisees, but among lowly-minded fishermen. The Republican party is largely made up of those who live by their wits and who aspire to advantages over the rest of mankind, similar to which their daily lives are devoted to securing In private business. The Democratic party consists largely ot those who live by the Work of their hands, and whose political action is governed by their sentiments or imagination. It results that the Democratic more readily than tiic Republican party can be in< ulded to the support of reform measures which involve a sacrifice of selfish interest. The indispensable necessity of our times is a change of administration in the great executive offices of the coun.ry. This in my judgment can only be aecomp’ished by the election of the Democratic candidates for President aud Vice-Pi e si. ent. [Signed' Samuel J. Tii.oen. To R. H. Henry, Chairman, B. B.

Hoffman, 187 Madison street, has been found a defaulter V> the extent of $1,000. He was discharged last Wednesday for discrepancies, and the next morning sent a confession to Hoffman, hi which he admitted taking $200. An examination of the books resulted as abovs sta ed. His plau was, when a debtor paid him an account, to credit a small portion and put the balance in his pocket. Alter Hoffman compared the cash received with the amount ou the cash book, Cramer would credit the right collection by changing the figures and close the accounts. He dressed fashionably and luxuriously, gave champagne suppers, appeared on the lake shore, drove superbly mounted, and told friends he was to marry a belie of this city next month. He came here from Germany a short time before entering Hoffman’s employ. A Mystery From the Fslh-rlsnd. Meriden, Conn., Octobers. For a few days the German r sidents ol this city have been excited over intelligence received by c ble f om the old country. The first news of the terrible affair stated that six human bodies or skeletons had been discovered in tho «ellar of a tavern in Zurzig, Germany, by the recent purchaser of the place. Sus piclon at once turned to the former proprietor, named Richard Slevert, who, after selling out, sailed for America. Sievert was recognized by several men in his city who knew him in Germany as the keeper of the tavern at Zurzig. Slevert came to Meridea last April, and bought quite a tract of land, and was evidently in comfortable circumstances. Since the publication ot the finding of the skeletons at Zurzig, Sievert has sold his property here and departed. Yesterday Mrs. Si vert admitted that they had lived in Snrzlg for lour years up to last April, but denied any knowledge of the skele tons. . » ' Funeral Honors in Halmahera.

According to the descriptions of a Dutch missionary, the funeral feasts of the Island oi Halmahera are quite elaborate affairs. The ceremonies begin, after the deceased has been put in 'his coffin, with a rope-dance between the young men and the maidens, in which either party tries to pull the rope away from the other, to the music of a monotonous antiphonal chant, and which is continued through several evenings, with complete freedom from interference by the old people. Then follow four or live days of feasting, to which the whole neighborhood is invited to contribute in provisions and services, marchers and dancers, the men and the women taking the prominent part in .ceremonies on alternate days. On the 'last day of the feast, as large a company as possible is collected, to give effect to the final ceremonies. The body is placed in the grave, and is adorned with ornaments, lights and garlands, and supplied with* dishes of betel and provisions. Another banquet is served, the rope-danoe ip repeated, and a new ceremony,callet the toku, is performed. For this, the young men and the girls take places in opposite rows, each confronting pair joining hands. A child, festively dressed, is lifted up and made to walk upon the road formed by the pairs of hands, singing a refrain, to which the partners in the tiles chant a response. Kach hand-joined couple in the rows withdraws as soon as the child has passed it, and takes a new place at the farther pnd, so as to prolong the walk to the extent that the occasion may seem to call for*. As soon •s this play is over, the rope-dance is transferred to the sea-beach, and the funeral ends with a ducking-match between the boys and the girls.—Popular Science Monthly. —Fresh milk from America is now Bold in London.—Qhicaqo iferofd,

; Care of Farm Dressing. Within the past twenty or thirty, years a great change has taken place in the matter of farm dressing. In former years barns were so built that all the excrementitious matter was thrown out of windows beh:nd the eattie and left there for months, exposed to sun and rain. Of eourse it lost much of its value. The aggregate waste was enormous. When barn cellars were introduced a great change took place. Ali the'dressing was kept under cover and no longer exposed to loss by weather. In addition to the barn cellar the plan of asing muck was recommended and widely adopted—using it as an absorbent for the liquid which before had been wholly wasted. All this was in the right direction; but all farmers did not adopt the neiy method, and have not yet Even many who have barn cellars are very careless and neglectful in regard to supplying muck, loam, sand, or other substance, to absorb the liquids, and so still much goes to waste. We have seen many farms where - the acres look lean and hungry, andyet where the owner allows much valuable mat ter to go to waste that would help improve them. We have also seen farms where proper economy is used, and everything that would be of value for enriching' the soil is carefully saved. Suclh are known as thrifty farmers, and their farms always make a good showing. If one has muck handy, and a light ft>il upori which to put the dressing, then it would be'better to use muck. If odg has a heavy, stiff soil on which to use the dressing, and can readily get sand to use as an abs rbent, theu it would be better to use that substance. No'li'ng leaves the dressing in better rendition for use than sand. Loam is an excellent thing to use for this purpose, and can be applied on almost" any soil to advantage. While wo should prefer to use the. substances named above, there are othe s that are often used thsjt are certainly better than none. One farmer who keeps a line held of eotvs and makes butter for market, uses sawdust,;for the double purpose of keeping everything clean and neat and for absorbing all liquids. In this case all solid excrement is removed as soon as dropped. A large amount of excellent dressing is thus made on the farm. .The sawdust costs nothing but the carting. Some use spent tan. We have seen shavings used for the same purpose, but they are not very goad. We advise in the strongest terms the usd of some substance to absorb the liquids of the cattle aDd to be used iu the pig-pen, so as to increase the dressing for the farm. When dressing is carted out into heaps in the field the heaps should always be covered. It seems strange that any one should fait to accept and practice that which it is so evidently for their interest, but such ,is still the case in no small degree. — ■ Conpregalionalist. * • Ensilage for Figs iu Winter. A correspondent asks about the safety of feeding ensilage to pigs in winter. He says there seem to be various opinions upon it, some regarding it as dangerous. We suppose good, sound grass ensilage to bo pist as safe as pasturing on grass. AVe should hear little of the diseases of the pig if it were regularly fed grass or other succulent, bulky, fi I irons finry).

Green, succulent clover, preserved in silo and led to pigs in winter would be of the greatest value in pig feeding: and its greatest value would "be in promoting health and a steady, uniformgrowth. These, with a warm pen, or a pen kept at sixty degrees, would enable as good growth to be made in winter ast in summer. Suoh a system would Sitve many millions now thrown away in', food, given to what are called “store pigs.” t'igs, generally, make such almost imperceptible growth in winter, that the food is little better than thrown away. Corn ensilage might be fed to pigs in winter, especially the sweet varieties, but the greater amount of woody tiber in corn renders it less adapted to this purpose than clover. The pig is a grass-eating animal, the same as the horse, but its stomach is small, and can not utilize a large amount of innnlritious food, such as ruminants manage easily. ^lt is, therefore, judicious to feed pigs only the most succulent and tender of fibrous plants, a nd clover exactly meets this requirement., We have found clover, cut just before blossoming, and nieely cured, softened by boiling water in winter, to be good pig food, and to keep them iu fine health. Clover, being \erv nitrogenous helps to balance a corn diet. Orchard grass and clover, cut when the orchard grass is tender, would make excellent ensilage for pigs in winter, and some two or three crops of this could be cut in a season. Any of the Brasses, when in tender, succulent oonition, will make good ensilage. One great advantage ot this green food in winter will be the safety of strong grainfeeding,, the pigs making as rapid progess as in summer, if in warm quarters. ; The feeding of this succulent ensilage to pigs will also render it absolutely necessary that they should be in warn pens, for such sappy food can not be led in the open air or in pens that freeze, for in that case, the food would be frozen. So if this system should ever come into use, it will bring warm feeding pens with it.—ftational Live Stock Journal

The English Duke. 1 have high honor tor the Peers; I think them an excellent institution, political and social, but one must draw a line somewhere, and i draw one' at dukes. From their cradle upwards all persons, things, circumstances, 10mbine to hide from them that they a~e mortal, subject to limitations like the r st of us. A duke, at least au English duke, though he may be called a peer, yet he is a p er only by courtesy. He has no social equal. He is at the summit of the world, and has no dignity beyond his own to which.he can aspire. He grows up in possession of everything which the rest of mankind are striving after. In his own immediate surroundings, on his vast estates, among his multitudinous dependents, he has only to will to be obeyed. When he goes out among bis fellow-creatures, they bow before so great a presence with instinctive deference. In him, offenses are venial which would be fatal tp an ord:nary man. The earth, so far as he is able to know anything of it, is a place where others have to struggle, but where he has only to desire. To do without what at any moment he happens to wish tor. which .moralists consider so important a part of education, is a form of discipline denied to a duke from his cradle, and if the moralists are right he is much the worse for the want of it— </. A. F'rowle in Longman's Magazine. Twain as a Talker. A Philadelphia compositor who worked on a S au Francisco paper wifh Mark Twain, tells the following: “One evening Clemen6 came into our room and found Ned and me thinning our boots. “ 'IV hat's up, boys?’ he asked. “ ‘We’re going to the theater.’ “ ‘But it's not seven yet:vou’veplentJ of time,’ said Clemen-, sitting down o* the corner of the Led; *1 want to tell you a good story;’ and he proceeded tcj entertain ns with an account of hid latest practical joke. This reminded him o a personal experience on a steam! oat, which in turn led him on to a description of his life on tWv Mississippi. He talked on without pause, holding our closest interest by his artful blending of humor, pathos, vivid description and thrilling incident until at length, breaking ott suddenly, he said with a laugh:, “Well, boys, if you’re going to the theater it’s time you were off.” “We drew our watches.
