Furrow Citizens: It is a singular province of art to break down the limitations which separate generations of men from each other, and allow those of past; generations to be comrades and associates of those now living. This capital is silently being filled up with; heroes of other times. Men of three wars have ;aken their places in silent eloquence as guardian and guards of the nation they loved so well, .and as the years pass on,. these squares and public places will be rendered more and more populous; more and more eloquent by the nresence of the dead heroes of other days. From all quarters of the country; from all genera tions of its life, from all portions of its service, the heroes come by the ministry and mystery of art to take their places and stand as permanent guardians of our nation's glory. To-day we come to hail this hero, who comes from Mecca down from the shrouds of his flagship, wreathed with the smoke and glory of victorybringing sixty years of national life and honor, to tfike his place as an honored compatriot an d perpetual . guardian of his nation's glory.

There is no truth in the story, and their relations are as cordial now as they ever have been. Senator Dawes says no call has been issued for a Republican caucus, and so far as he knows none will be held at present, there being no exigency for one.

Senator Jones placed his Democrat is

His speech was an unwise one, and during its delivery some of the Northern. Democratic Senators moved restlessly in their seats and showed plainly that they disapproved the sentiments or the utterance of such sentiments at this time. The death of Representative O'Couner, of South Carolina, this morning leaA'es two seats on the Democratic side vacant. The Senate Judiciary Committee held another meeting this morning, and the nomination of Stanley Matthews was taken up and discussed.

Indications are that Matthew will ..be confirmed, as nearly ail the Democratic Senators will vote for him. Conkling and thestalwarts are fighting against a caucus, but fourteen Senators have signed the call, and it will be held in a few days. The President urges action on the nominations, and his friends among the Senators are active in forcing the policy lie advises.

the consideration of executive business, and especially the rapid confirmation of the nominations. A number of the pending nominations are to fill vcncies, the" existence of which somewhat embarresses the work of the departments, and as soon as the Senate resumes executive session the President has a number of nominations to make, some of which he has been requested by par tit selected for efllces to hold "back while the dead-lock continues, as gentlemen do noi: like to have their namts hung

up iu the Senate. There n no doubt bur, that the committee will arrange for an executive session next Tuesday, to consider the Chinese treaties. This will take two or three days, and in the meantime the committee will arrange for action on the nominations. The prevailing sentiment among Republicans seems to be in favor of letting Robertson's nomination go over until next Winter, but the Caucus Committee do not feel auihorized to single oat this case, a3 the courtesy oi the Senate demands that it be left entiiely to the New York Senators. The caucus committee, consisting of Senator.? Dawes, Rollins, Ingalls, Jones, Hill, MeDiil and Hale, is in session to day, and will submit its conclusions to a caucus to he held on. Monday next. The opinion prevails that the committee will recommend that the Republicans hold an executive session and take action on the Chinese treaty and confirm nominations to till vacancies, but no others. The caucus committee is regare'ed as stalwart, and not one which will recommend any yielding in. the fight for the light to organize the

The Czare witch had been stopping

in Berlin :for some time winie young. Hyren carried a message to the father of the Princess destined to be the future Czarina of Russia. Hyren and the Princess thus met for the first time and a responsive love was kindled in their hearts. Before the visit was over they were devoted to each other and had pledged eternal love. When Hyren returned to Berlin he informed the Czarewiteh of the Hue hunting grounds in that region and the latter decided to

visit them. To make a long story ithortj he saw Hyren's loved one and the match was made. When Hyren svaw the state of affairs he was .crestfallen and downcast, He, however, had an unconquerable ambition, and Laid a plan to frustrate the Czarewiteh. The latter had grave doubts as to whether he would be allowed to marry an unknown Princess, and was glad to accept of the ad vice of Hyren , who volunteered to hasten back to Kussia and prepare the Czar for the marriage. The offer was accepted. Hyren was anxious to retain the good graces oi the Czar, and when he arrived at St. .Petersburg, instead of advocating the marriage of the Czarewiteh, he deprecated it; said he had done all he could to prevent it, and had hastened a vay to inform the Czar ol the state oi: affairs. Iti Idea was to have the aflair broken oil, gain credit for doing it, and marry the Princess himself. There whs an outcry in the court circles of .Russia against the marriage, but it was' found impossible to prevent, it, and tha cloak of seeming satisJaetion was thrown over ft. When the Czarewiteh discoverei.1 the.. ia.oner in which Hyren had treated him he sought his", ruin. Hyren appealed to the Czar, however, who sent him to Constantinople to study the Oriental languages!, with the idea of using him hi theiEasfc. He spent six. years in Turnkey, and becoming proficient in his studies, was offered an important po sition under the Turkish Government, About this time the Czar recalled him. and sent hi m throughout the adjacent Eastern countries, ufor the good of the Empire' &9 his papers read. Many of the possessions that Kussia has obtained in those countries within tba last few years are the outcome of negotiations and advice performed and given at that time by Hyren. BKC AXLED TO KUSSIA. Hyren returned to St. Petersburg and gradually rose until he was considered the chief of the secret advisee of the Czar.. The Czarewiteh did not seem to recognize in this great mati the young courier who came so near wrecking his marriage. About this time Hyren fell into disrepute at the Court. "The Crimean war was raging-. It began to be whispered about that Jl WfS not right between the Czarewiteh and his Wife, Hyren's name was connected with hers in some way; the Czar began to get suspicious and the mines of Siberia seemed to be opening for Hvren. Then the Czar died and

Hyren knew that the pent-up wrath of the new Czar would be poured upon his head without stint, and he' prepared to fiy. The famous Peace Congress met, and as much.-as the new Czar disliked Hyren he knew that iio man in the Empire was so well fitted,, to support the interests -of Kussia us he. He proposed to U3e him, and when it was completed the mines of Siberia should receive him. Hyr-?u became aware of his purpose,, and d etermiued to give the Czar and the Einpirea blow. He attended the Congress as one of Kussia's representatives aud peacte was concluded- The Powers were surprised .that this bold Hyren, "who had always contended -so earnestly for the rights of Kussia, was now ready to concede any tning; and when the final papers were signed it was found that the terms. of that peace were not favorable to Russia. FLYING TO AMERICA.

Hyren did not return to Russia, but took ships for America, changed his name to Hyren, as it appears here, and Russians always supposed that he was secretly assassinated by order of the late Czar. The ship in which he came across was wrecked, and the wreckers seized the money aud valuables h had, leaving him without resources ih a strange laud. He managed to cet to New York City, and would have succeeded.. well. in his new home ii his mind had not given w:-iy. He w; an excellent English scholar and easily obtained a position as teacher. He brooded over his lost chances, became morose and at times was at -most wild. Then he saw a note in a Russian paper that he was supposed to be living In America. He became fearful hi his life. Every stranger he met who had the appearance of a coun tryman of his would cause him ; to tremble. His mina gradually g&ve way. a-a about two years after his arrival in this country he became insane. The immediate cause of his insanity was religion. He attended a camp meeting near New York and startled all present by arising and saying that he had been given the gift of prophecy. He wandered away from New York City and finally fixed his habitation in Western Pennsylvania. He would go from town to town in this section calling on the people to repent raid believe, for the. end. of the world was at hand. As he seemed to be perfectly sane except on religious subjects he. was not molested. He made a confident gentleman in this section, and confided to him a large amount; of manuscript under seal, with instructions to lead after his death. This was written immediately alter his arrival in this country, and was a minute account o:f his early lite. The exposure which he endured at last began to tell on bini. and he was sent to the

grance; the iiowers of autumn arcbright and snowy, but have little fragrance. ' .,. The phylloxera, the deadly enemy of vineyards,. has appeared in six counties of California. No means of gening rid of this pest has been discovered abroad, where its ravages have been severely felt; ' Since 1875 it has driven out of vine culture 600.000 acres, and reduced the vintage of 18150 one-third as compared with that of 1875. . To make paste for paper take ten narts by weiirht of gum arabic, add

three parte of sugar in order to, prevent'

the gum from . cracking; then aoa water until the desired consistency is obtained. If a ve ry strong paste is required, add a quantity of Hour equal in weight to the gum. without boiling the mixture. The paste improves in strength when it begins to ferment. As soon as the frost leaves the surface of the ground and we have v few days of warm sunshine, the grub of tne canker worm will leave it.'i winter quarters and take up its line of .march for the trunks of apple trees, up which, U! no obstruction prevents, it will climb to deposit, on the smaller branches, its eggs. Apple trees J n locations where this destructive enemy is found should be at once looked after; if they are not protected by patent protectors, a strip tarred paper a foot in width should be tied around the trunk and kept well-covered with tar, printer's ink or a. preparation made by melting four parts of rosin with one part of linseed oil. The greatest care should be taken to keep the paper covered during the mouth of April so thick with some sticky substance that no grub can pass over it In discussing the merits of different breed of swine, John D. VV. French, of Andover, writes: The large breeds, such as the Berkshire. &re best for bacon, the. smaller breeds for pork. It you want pigs with good constitutions, which wilt come to early maturity and weigh 200 pounds or thereabouts at a year old, take an Essex, or small Yorkshire boar, and cross him n some of the large, coarse sows with which the States . abounds. Such pigs, will be good feeders, easily kept,, ana will give the besi; average results ' for pork and bacon. If real improvements is expected, a pure bred boar should be used as. much as a pu re bred bull on herd of cows, whether khc calves are wanted for the dairy or . the butcher, Tb larger the sow aud the smaller the boar, the more will the little pigs be able to eat in proportion to their size, and the greater will be their growth in proportion to the food consumed. To produce pigs merely for the butcher'we should resort to crosses with a large vigorous, uupampered sow. to the finest thoroughbred boar of the small breeds that can be .obtained.

A mong many amusing anecdotes of the Russian Imperial family- related in the late Karl Bender's Memoirs, is the following highly characteristic story of the eccentric Grand Duke Cons tan tine, Dzar Alexander's eldest uncle : While residing at Warsaw, Cons tan tine gave a splendid banquet to a number, of the great Polish nobles, to each of whom, at the conclusion of the feast, an ordinary tallow candle was served on a plate by the attendant lacqueys. As soon as all his guests were supplied wi th th ese . pecu 1 iariy appetising objects, the Grand Duke, who had given orders that an imitation candle, admirably executed in marchpane, should be placed upon, his plate, rose from the seat and exclaimed : VGen? tlemen, let us eat, to the honor of Russia, the favorite national comestible of my counti y. Look at me. This is the way to do it. So saying, he threw back his head, opened'his mouth wide, and inserted therein -1; wo-inches or so of the dainty in question. Ashe closed his teeth, however, the expression of his countenance. - suffered an extraordinary change. One of the noblemen, sitting in his immediate tVicinityr had k -contrived to substitute his own. genuine tallow candle for the march natie imi

tation set before the Grand -Duke;-who-, not choosi ng to betray, h imsel.f to. his guests, found himself condemned to chew at least one copious mouthful f of good Russian tallo w as an example tp all the victims of the detestable jest none of whom, of course, dared to abstain from doing as the terrible Cout stantirie did. It is needless to say that the dexterous appropriate r of the marchpane caudle, while devouring that toothsome article with a joyful heart, baffled suspicion by the most hideous visual contortions expressive of loathing and na .isea. American Colta and the Derby. New York Tribune. Thero is a great deal of talk about the possibility of an American . colt winning the English Derby tnis year. This greatest, of races iviil be run June 1. . There are only two . American entries of any merity and these are Pierre LorillardJs Barret and Iroquois. Mr. Keene's Foxhall, s, colt; thought, by many superior to either of them, is not in the Derby. Iroquois never ran in this country, but Barret is well known here, He ran in four races at Jerome Park, lliong Branch and Gravesend, in two of which he was beaten by Spiiiaway at even weights, he beating her twice when she was carrying more weight. Unless he has made mark(ni nrogreiis since his hist, appearance here he cannot win the Derby. Mr. Lorillard sent him to England, however, rather on the1 basis' of some brilliaiit trials with Parole than on the record of his . public performances. Iroquois is , in gi eat favor with some of the turf experts of the .London pressH who. say that he is far better than be w.asiast year; that he is trained excellently, and that he is faster than either Barrett or Foxhall. All three of these fine American colts are ent ered for the City and Suburban, the great handicap -which Parole won two years ago. This is to be run April 27. "E.ieh of the three has been freely backed to win, and indeed Foxhall has bee j at times the favorite over all in tb heuing. The running in the City hi id Suburban will prove a guide to that in the Derby. Should, either Barrett or Iroquois win it, confidence in his prospects for the greatest; prize of the turf would go up immensely. , , . I m - Cabbage Wos.m. An experiment tried by C. C. Yoimg of. Henry county, Ohio, results in the discovery that unleached wood ashes prevent the ravages of the eabbagfr wurm and the deposit of eggs on the. plants by the millers. He says: "I took dry, unleached wood ashes in full strength and splashed right on top of each plant, from a half to a full stoveshovelful, determined to kill the worms if it killed the cabbage (which was sure of cotal destruction any way, if no better remedy could be- found than had been applied ), and, to my satisfaction and almost astonishment, the first application proved a radical cure, killing almost instantly every worm touched by the ashes.. " I took pains to jar the pi ant, by hitting it lightly with my foot, to shake them down thoroughly between, the leaves, to be sure to make soap of every worm," The plants were not only uninjured by ..the ashes, but started with new, life an energy. The swarm of millers which had constantly beeinhovering over the patchseemed to leave in disgust, and no furthur trouT: ble was experienced for several week, but a rapid and unmolested growth ,of the plant ensued. But finally the millers gradually made -their appearance again ,ind I re sorted to the. same means as before, with equal success,and the result was as fine a lot "of cabbage as I ever raised befo.e this pest was known some heads too large to go into a

A Jest Ending in Earnest, Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal. A romantic marriage took place here on Mardi-Gras. A young gentleman and young lady who were acquainted met 011 the street and commenced bantering each other about marriage, lie offered himself in a jesting way, and tiae conversation was kept up until 1 hey reached- the young lady's home. Neither had the slightest idea of getting married at the time,, but Cupid was shooting arrows, and the discussion was resumed in the parlor. He again offered himself, aud dared her to marry him (hat day. She replied, as she caught up her hat.' 4Let us go," He seized his hat and assented. They Visited the County Clerk's offiee.secnr-

done and the mother, after objecting, was idduced to say "Yes." They were

married, and are now as happy as any of those who married after long courtships, aud more so, perhaps. May they live long and prosper k Bow Crockett. McKenzto, Tenn., special. For thirty years a raaa has been about in. this part of the country whose name is never mentioned except in a whisper. It is familiar to every person in every county along tho Kentucky river, while his face is. not unknown to most of the public men. He makes -his appearance once, or twice a year, when least expected, and departs as suddenly k and unexpectedly as he comes. When he has gone, th rise with whom he stopped and conversed are more or less objects of susiiicion. His person and figure are as remarkable as his character is suspicious. Tall, bony, sine way, blear-eyeri, and armed to the teeth, but. his arms he attempts to conceal, as he does his purposes. This man's name is Dow Crockett. I do not think he was ever arrested, or eveu charged with crime, yet ever under suspicion.'
