GENERAL. The new Mayor of St Paul has inaugurated an era. of reform. He has already closed the gamoling-houses, and will next order the keepers of houses of prostitution to quit the business. It is also his intention to enforce the ordinance regarding the closing of saloons on Sunday. Another star-route fraud has been unearthed in Washington. Senator YanWyck visited the Contract Department of the postofflce the other day, and wanted to know why a daily mail was being carried over the barren road from Niobrara, Neb., to Deadwood, at an expense of $13,000 per annum.

L A sensation was created in the session of the American Medical Association at Cleve land; A St Louis physician had the temerity to introduce a resolution looking to the revision of the: code of ethics. Had the ghosts of all the patients killed by closecommunion doctors since the days of Dr. Sangrado arisen from their graves, the stampede could not have been greater. It was hurriedly tabled for one year. A New. York Supreme Court Jury has given William Blake, a boy on crutches, a verdict of $20,000 against John Dolan, proprietor of a coal yard A wagon belonging to Dolan ran- over the boy and. one of his legs had to be out off.

CEIMES ANDJDEIMINALS. The Sheriff at Independence, Iowa, becoming alarmed for the safety of the two desperadoes, the Barber brothers, whom he had received from the Sheriff of Waverly as a matter of accommodation, declined to longer keep them, as the mutteiings of the public seemed to indicate that an illegal "neck-tie" festival was on the tapis. He therefore returned them to the Sheriff at Waverly, who placed them in jail at that .place. About midnight the jail was attacked by a large crowd of men, armed with axes, crowbars and beams, whose demand for the surrender of the desperadoes had been refused by the jailer. An entrance was forced, when the murderers were seized and taken half a mile from the Court House, where they were hanged to a tree. The mob was composed of men from Fayette county and Germans near where the Barbers killed Kersting. They were led by Shenerd, a brother of the one killed last fall The Sheriff refused to give up the keys, so they battered down the doors with sledge-hammers, and, after a short delay, came out with ropes around the boys' necks. Some of the best citizens tried to use reason and get them to desist, but ft was of no use. They were perfectly orderly and talked calmly, but said they were determined to have the prisoners. The boys Stood up under it all the way through without flinching, and never asked a word of mercy during the entire proceedings. A murderer named Stevenson was legally executed at Lawrenoeville, Ga, In an encounter between the Town Marshal of Fulton, Ky., assisted by a posse, and a gang of notorious ruffians, one man on each side was killed and the Marshal badly beaten. One of the law-breakers was also wounded, but escaped A sickening tragedy is, reported from Yincennes, Ind. Charles Pollock, a wealthy young miller, shot and instantly killed his wife of 18, and then ended his own life. Pollock had been drinking heavily during the previous week, and while in a disordered nervous condition committed the awful crime. A number of Texas stockmen on the Beleto, captured a cattle thief named McGracken, and without trial hanged him to a tree. It is reported three other thieves in the same vicinity have been hanged and shot A band of four men entered the yard of the Kemper county (Miss.) jail, and, through the bars, killed a negro who was under arrest charged with murder. At Holbrook, N. M, Jim Warner, a drunken herder, shot at Jack and Jim Porter, brothers and surveyors The Porter boys followed him and riddled him with bullets. Two Mexican cattle thieves were captured near Gonzales, Texas, by vigilantes and hanged to a tree. A murderer named Sidney Combs was lynched at Whitesburg, Ky. At Dennison, Texas, an unsuccessful attempt was made to lynch a young man named Henry Burke, who had wrecked the life of a beautiful girl. George Fredericks, proprietor of the Theater Comique at Kansas City, was shot and killed in that city by John Bell, a reporter of the Evening iltar. Two Virginia politiciansought a duel on horseback near Patrick Court House, in that State, and one .of them, T. W. Waller, was mortall y hurt. His opponent was the Sheriff of the county. The mob which lynched the Barbe bandits at Waverly, Iowa, was, conisidering the mission performed, as mildly riotous as any assembly that ever officiated under the auspices of Judge Lynch. Not a shot was fired, and the crowbars used to fore the bars and bolts were unaccompanied by profanity. The leaders were men whose relatives had been killed by the outlaws, and their determination was shored by about 1,000 sympathizers. Tne Mayor of Waverly, it appears, did what he could to prevent mob violence, and the Sheriff in charge of the prisoners refused to give up the keys. A row at Troy, N. Y. , growing out of the

strike at the Malleable Iron Works, resulted in one man bei ng shot dead and two mortally wounded. William A. Putney, once a millionaire, and one of the largest dry-goods dealers in Chicago, was arrested the other day in a Boston suburb for pilfering from the store of Shepard, Korwell & Co., where he .was a salesman. While being brought to Boston he jumped from the boat, and, though rescued, died in ten minutes. Alexander Myatt, who recently killed John Bird at tlteubenville, Ohio, for eloping with Mrs. Myatt, committed suicide in jail LATEST NEWS.

Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has made a present of his stallion Damascus, valued at $50, COO, to King Humbert, of Italy, stipulating that the sculptor Story shall have the privilege of making a model of the animal. In return for the gift the King will send Mr. Garrett two camels The Attorney General has decided that the question whether there are already two or more members of a family in the public service, as provided in the Civil-Service act, is not to be considered by the Civil-Service Commission, but by whatever power may be called upon subsequently to pass upon eligibility to appointment Washington telegram: The First Assistant Postmaster General has explained that he did not name twenty postoflices after himself. The people of nineteen small hamletsand towns petitioned to have them caled Hatton, and one h3 named Hattonia, for family reasons. Hasten, therefore, is not to blame for the others. ! His great and wideiy-diffui-ed popularity did the business, and he could noc prevent it without seeming ungracious. It is noted that two postoflices have been named after Gen. Gresham, which shows that Hatton is generous as well as popular. The astronomical party which went to one of the Islands of the South Pacific to observe the total eclipse of the sun last March have returned to San Francisoo, They pronounce their observations a success The supposed planet Vulcan was not found A meeting of the Republican Executive Committee of Missis sippi was held at Jackson, at which it was resolved to maintain the party organization in the several counties.

"What did you ttay?" asked the hurried man, stopping. "Where are you rushing?" "None of your business. I'm not acquainted with you, sir. "Well, but it is my business. How much are you short?" ''Get qut of the way! You are crazy." 'Tin not crazy, either. Tm a tax-payer and I have a. right to know where yon are going!" "So am I a tax-payer." "Ain't you a State officer?" "No, I'm not." "Pass on then. I thought you were an. officer whose accounts are snort. They are the only people who hurry along so these days, and I thought it my duty to stop you." Arkansaw Traveler.

THE FjtftM. Mr. John B. Moore, of the Massachusetts " Horticultural Society, is of the opinion that the grape crop is more certain than tha of jny other, large fruit, even the apple. ' None of the tuberous-rooted grasses, like timothy, are suitable to permanent pastures. They cannot stand close cropping nor constant tramping. Pasture grasses must be fibrous and deeprooted vareities. A correspondent asiks for information in regard to feeding horses with swee corn. It is sometimes grown as a fodder for hogs, being cut at different stages of growth. Minnesota and Early Orange are among the earliest and best varieties. Chicag o Journal. The earliest crop of cabbage and cauliflowers is from phvnta wintered in cold frames or hot-beds. In either case they must be prepared by proper exposure to harden them. They are set out as soon as the land is dry enough, giving heavy manuring, making the rows twenty-four inches apart, and setting the plants every eighteen inches. Grass is a leading farm crop, and is much neglected. Our farmers have given little attention to the study of grass and the soils and culture best adapted to the various sorts. A permanent meadow or pas ture needs to be kept up by a yearly tqp-dressing of manure or commercial fertilizer. It is hoped that the American farmer will come to a better nnderstanding of the importance of grass growing, and that our grass land will be treated with due consideration. When trees are too warm on the passage, often from the heat of a steamer or from the weather, the buds start into growth, and sometimes make white weak shoots several inches long. The buds near the ends of the branches start first, and they will be gradually less affected below. Usually there will be some of the lower ends that have not started. Every branch should be cut back to a good sound bud, if there is but one, and the tree is left but little better than a bare stick. A paragraph is going the rounds to the effect that one breed of poultry will make as much meat as another on the same feed, and that a bushel of corn will make nine to eleven pounds of poultry. If this was so, it were cheaper to grow a pound of chicken than a -pound of pork. The coarse Asiatic fowls will make much more weight' from a bushel of corn than game fowl' or other active breeds, but the meat of the latter is -more gamy. To make the latter pay consumers should pay a higher price for the poultry. ' A farmer in Orleans county, N. T., says he has found by repeated experiments that an acre of the Hubbard squashes will fatten more hogs than the corn which can be raised from the same ground will do. He says he has no trouble in 'keeping the squashes through the winter. He plants twentyfive feet apart each way, and the crop requires but little cultivation. His manner . of . feeding. . is to crack the squashes and pass them through a outter; the seeds he saves and sells, to seed-dealers. A small farmer near this city finds by experiment that he can fatten cattle on squashes cheaper than on anything he can raise on his place. -Chicago Times. It would be often "taking time by the forelock" if farmers would so order the sowing and planting of their crops, when attempted on a large scale, that there might be a succession of them, rather than to have barley, oats, rye, wheat, etc., all require reaping and caring for at the same time, and, in the case of a rainy week, suffer great loss by over-ripening. There may be seasons when, plan as one may, there will be crowding and different crops ripening at the same time,- but, taking one season with another, there will be a disposal of one before another claims attention, and thus perfect condition of crops can more perfectly be attained. -Chicago Journal. About Farm Hands, There was a day when the ."hired man" was not very different in his ways from the farmer himself. His interest was centered in his work, and his work was well donel' He was hardy, self-reliant, plucky and contented. He is now fast disappearing, and the wonder is how we are to get along with his successor. Let us tiy to see what has becomo of our old friends. Of course some thousands have developed into full-fledged farmers themselves an honest ti'iumph ; many more thousands are pioneers in the West; a few hundreds may be discovered in the Legislatures or Congress, and it need never be a surprise to learn that some farm hand is now Governor of Arizona or Alaska. But by far the largest share, in some sections, have been charmed away by the magic ten-hour whistle. In place of pur departed friends, we are overrun with hosts of men of all nationalities, whose only qualifications, for farming is that they are ood for nothing else; and as nature is supposed to give every man a gift, farming must be theirs. H Their employer's life is a constant anxiety and

fret. He must either bo in two br'thwi places at once, .ortsustaint seirwua losses by having everytiig j&ie &g- J the poorer the haudth nearer preach to the missmgink-e inof? arbitrary and estortionato!are bis demands. He indulges in strikes in; harvest, and breaks his contract to rush, into another field at $3 a day. What is the remedy ? I believe there is none of universal application. I wish there was a medicine put up in dollar bottles, and warranted, when administered to a poor hand, either to reform him or to transport him to the "happy hunting grounds.? One thing we can do when we get a good man keep him. .Yon can afford to pay him s well as the
