Tn reply to a question, at the Connecticut farmers' meeting, Charles Hubbard said that two of his fields were treated with manure, one plow ed in to a depth of l-jx inches, and the other having the malt "ire sp>- > td on the surface. Both were I planted to corn, and that where the manure was; spread (although the amount wn3 at least two-thirds more on the plowed-in piece) yielded one-fourth more cor.i. ile knew that plowed-in manure is wasted. He did not believe that raw peat or muck was of the slightest value to land. If composted he believed muck to be valuable, but then mainly as a vehicle for liquid or gaseous elements. Mr. "White, of Putnam, said his experience had been that flat plowing?turning the ground upside down?was not good. Manure should be plowed in with the ridges left on edge to allow air to get at the manure. Dr. Sturfcevant, of Framingham, Mass., | said he had found good results by flat plowing-in of manures, but he believed | the surface application to be better. He gave facts drawn from .experiments h<" had made to the effect that crops had not answered to the fertilizer. His idea was that experiments alone were not efficient. Yet, he thought that vastly more was dependent on the character of seed used than on the nature of the manure, or the manner of its application. He gave blackboard illustrations anil showed that the chemical elements of manure are of such different natures _.that for some of them only continued r applications, sufficient to saturate the land, are of real value. He did not believe there was a great loss of ferfciliz| iug gases by exposure to the atmosphere; indeed, he thought live cents' > worth of ammonia would replace all that would be lost by the spread of manure on an acre and exposure during an en^ tire winter. He was satisfied that very little waste was experienced bv evaporation and that surface manuring was therefore preferable. Sir. Sodgwick, of Corn will, related some facta from experience and observation to the effect that surface manuring was far preferable to plowing-in. * Mr. orris, of Danbnrv, sustained the r positions of the last speaker. His practice of stirface manuring had proved so profitable that all his neighbors had adopted it. 3?r. Carey, of Herkimer county, N. S?., was also in favor of surface manuring. His practice was in every way in support of this plan. > The discussion was continued at considerable length by a number of speakers, 4he general drift, in details of 1 experiments and practice, being in favor of surface dressing rattier than plowingin. Farmer'* C'ltib Qucationn nnd Answcm. ?. "What are the comparative advantages of fermented and unfermented manures ? This depends on the use for which they are designed. If for garden beds, loose, light soils, atop dressing for meadows, or if needed-to kill any noxious seeds incor? porated with the heap, it should be fermented; if intended for hoed crops in clay or loamy soift it should be in a fresh condition. : . .

ButtrifcFlontinR on Milk. ^ ^ It is not uncJSamon for small particles of "btrtter to be formed during the milking of cows that give more than usually rich milk. The butter globules become broken either in the udder or in the pail, the thin polliole which covers them being ruptured, and the minute particles of butter cohere and form sm;dl masses visible to the eye. Tliis is not a defect; on the contrary, it indicates that the cow is an excellent butter maker. It sometimes occurs with ordinary cows, when the milk from neglect has not been drawn at the usual time. The pressure m in tho udder may then cause the glogides to become broken and the fresh butter to gather. Kcepinv Seed*. "\Vhnt is tho best way of keeping seeds ?

Santa Clans loves to fill the stocking o every child in the world; but he lia made a rule to pass the naughty ones by just to put them on their good beliavio: until the next Christinas. This is a ver hard rule for him to keep, and unless tin child is very bad indeed, he tries t< make him good enough for presents be fore he goes around with his load Haven't you ever known a child to go U bed naughty and cross, and wake up ii the morning pleasant and good ? Well night, you know, is the time Santa Clan is about. Now, there were once tw< little brothers, named Tom and Ned who were great favorites with Santi Claus, and all summer long he had beci making splendid presents for thei Christinas. He knew just what the; wanted most. But one day while he wa putting the finishing touches to Tom'i printing press, he started with disma; and clapped his hands to his ears. " Can that be mv dear Tomn^i voice?" he groaned. "Shall I have t< give this printing press to some Qjthfl Soy?" , He-sat ' &ing VvT men , he got up, put the ^Wawav on a shelf marked "Pernn >8," tmd tank dowii h roe-king horse lie w ts making for Neil. Just alter he had I aintetl his nostrils alieautiful red, and a i lie was putting in his eyes?two great si ining black eyes that lie made extra L: rge and bright because he loved Ned so - -he started again, almost out of his seat, ud looked twice as sad as he had looked oef?re. "I can't give up those two boys," he. said, " without seeing what Fixem can do." Fixem is a fair}*, who is a great help to Santa Claus in lixing up children for Christmas. She tries, by all kinds of contrivances, to make them pood enough for him to make them happy. They both know it is throwing away good things to give them to naughty folks. The two things don't go together. Fixem livesin the moon, because she has to be out nights, and it is a bright, pleasant home for her. So the first tiling Santa Claus did, after he had put away the rocking horse, too, on the "Perhaps" shelf, was to harness his reindeer and start for tin moon. It was a great job to find it, foi it isn't very plain in the daytime, but al last the reindeer stopped, and oul jumped Santa Claus. Ho looked every where for Fixem, and found her on the very edge of the moon, polishing it uj for the night. She had only a litth strip polished bright, and when she sav Santa Claus coming with a long face sin knew he had some troublesome childrer for her to doctor, and she was very sorn to leave her pretty job unfinished Haven't you ever noticed the mooi partly shining and partly dull ? That ii because you children don't behave wel long enough at a tune for her to shine nj the whole of it more than once a month Ul,? l.?o f,> lnnro wlwii U2LC JUW?t>o liuo ??V1I Clans comes after lier, ami lie is just a: apt to come at one time as another, fo he lojks alieiul and' takes liis bad case in hand a long while before Christmas. " Well, who is it ?" she said. " Tom and Ned," said Santa Clans. " Bad job ?" she asked. " Middling," said lie. " ' I will' am ' I won't' to their mother." "Idreamed last night of a pood cur for that," said she, " and I will try it Can von take me to their house in you sleigli ?" "Yes; but we must feed Dander am Blitzen first; for they lost their wa; among nil these stars and things, and i is hours since they have had anything t< eat." Now, fairies" can do anything, yoi know, and Fixem merely said : " Oats and " Blitzen," and Blitzen was eatiu) oats, or whatever is reindeer for oats After she had done the same good ser vice for the other reindeer, she remem bercd that fairies arc delicate, and til journey from the moon to the earth be ing a cold one, she wished herself into i fur coat, and jumped into the sleigh. B; this time it was nearly dark. "Pretty late," sighed Santa Claus " afraid my children will be in bed." " So much the better for me if the; are," said the fairy. " 1 want then sound asleep. They won't take m; medicine if they are awake." "Show me your medicine," said Sanfc Clans. Fixem could liardly get her hands on of her wrUppings, but she managed t show Santa Clans a little box of salve sh had dreamed of and wished for, and nm had in her pocket. " What are you going to do witi that?" "said he, beginning to hav some doubts of Fixem, although she ha performed many wonderful cures ft him. " That salve," said the f.iiry, " ia to l nibbed on their tongues uutil they look ' black and blue, and it -will make* them : unable to say anything but ' t will' and JI won't' until they are sick of it." "Will they wr get over it?"'said Santa Clans, " It would be a pity to ! have no other words ever come out of the months of two such dear little boys." "Oh, it will wear off when they are sorry," said Fixeiu, and away they went. "When they came to the house they got ; out oil the roof and went down the cliim' ncy. There lay Tom and Ned sound : asleep, looking vers' innocent. But there i was a wrinkle or two on their faces which i troubled Santa Claus. i ""Won't do, ' said ho. "Try the ; salve." ! "I am sorry their mouths are shut," said the fairy. "You will have to hold their noses, Santa Clans, so that I can get at their tongues." So Santa Clans took Tom's nose gently between his thumb and first finger (he had fur gloves oh, so he could do it very ' Koftlv rmil rwif wiiVa liiin im\ Tmn linil i to open his month to breathe, and the ' fairy rubbed the salve all over his tongue. He dreamed he wis eating i blackberry jam, and troubled himself no further about it. Then the same thing was done to Ned, and Santa Clans and the fairy went up the chimney again and ' off to their homey. When Tom and Ned , awoke in the morning they began to talk to each other as usual; but they were dreadfully frightened at finding they : could say nothing but " I will " and " I won't." They soon grew tired of such ridiculous conversation, and only hurried , to dress themselves and run to tell their mother of their trouble. But their whole 1 story was "I will?I won't," " 1 will," " I won't," and their mother was naturally very much grieved. "Oh, boys! boys!" said she, "didn't I tell you yes; terday never to say that again to me? It is a very bad habit, and I don't know what you mean by persisting in it. If you nre joking, I must tell you it is very i poor fun," The poor fellows tried to pro' test and to explain, but, although they shook their heads and were almost crying, their only words, "I will "and! ! "1 won't," only made matters worse. j i "Now, boys," said their mother, "if you are determined to disobey me, you must go to bed again. I should advise you to go to sleep and wake up in a more 1 obedient mood." They felt it was useless to say more, and so they sadly undressed and went to ! bed, very much perplexed and dismayed. They both supposed it was some mysterious effect of their bad habit, and they lmrrfm in lin vow enrvv A. ft or M?nv ImJ left their mother's room she received n note from the fairy explaining the state of things, -which relieved her mind, and showed her how to help in the cure. Before she went down to breakfast she went in to the boys and asked them if they would like to have some buckwheat cakes sent up to them. Of coursc they were both starving for them, but Tom could only get out " I won't,*" while Ned, more fortunately, was able to shout " I will !" But Ned gave Tom half of his, so they managed that difficulty pretty well, especially as their mother sent np double their usual allowance. They lay in bed thinking it over all morning, and growing more and more sorrv. Once in a while one of them would forget himself and li.-rnn hi K-npnk Ivnf tlifi now hateful words were the only ones that would come, and talking was worse than thinki in?. About noon they were Allowed to get up. Just as they were thinking what they should do with themselves, in their dreadful state, they heard their father's voice calling them. They ran to him, and he told them to get ready to go with him to the menagerie. They wore porfcctlv delighted, and both called out to thank him, " I won't !" "Yen* well," : id their father, who had been let into the secret, "I will go without you then." This was a little too much, and, after they were left alone, each went into a f comer and cried. Crying didn't do much for Ned, but the tears falling into 8 Tom's lap reminded him of the way he ' washed his slate sometimes by dropping 1 tears from his sponge (sometimes the ^ sponge would weep bitterly over a wrong 2 sum in arithmetic), and it came into his * head that perhaps he could write sensi" 1 blv on his slate if words did fail him. So ' he came out of his corner with hope in 3 his red eyes, and went to try his experi1 ment with his slate. To his delight he found he could write as usual, and he s wrote: "Dear Ned?We will write and ' i tell mamma we arc very sorry we said ' those naughty words to her, and then . perhaps this bad habit will go away." Then Nod and Tom wrote very penitent J letters and took them to their mother. J J. S!ie read them, tore them in tittle bits, ' * to the great surprise o? illilUU "a ** great roaring t^Tt^eflreplace, and ' 8eut tier another up the chim3 j ney? ^"ieriey had all gone np to the 3 ; m^Jj^fcere Fairy Fixem found them. pip-tSnep'it the bits together again and \ J read the letters. " That is all right," ; ' she said to herself, and she went to work with a glad heart to give the moon a | beaming smile for everybody that night, she was so happy. Santa Clans knew by the smile that the faixy had had good news, and the reindeer were trotted out that chey might learn the particulars. And best of all, as the boys sat in the moonlight that evening before going to bed, they begun to talk as usual, and '! were able to say such pleasant things to ' their dear mother as they had .never said before. Santa Claus finished the ' printing press and the rocking horse, 1 | gave Fairy Fixem a first-rate polisher for . her services, and made Tom and Ned, on i Christmas morning, the happy boys he had worked so hard to have them. i i The Temperance Movement. ' At a meeting recently held in New ' York, Dr. Ormiston called attention to ! the great importance of the temperance J movement, the terrible evil of in toxica tion, and the necessity that the churches ' should take a chief part in the contest \ against that evil. He spoke of the difH: cnlty of reclaiming the drunkard? ^ though work to that end should not be given up, as each rescued man was a grand trophy?and urged that the beginnings of intemperance should be resisted fvfij wane mm aiwuvo?m uin mniHi " board as well as in the ilriuking saloon, j ' in the party which encouraged it ns in 5 the darker shadows which encompassed . its worse forms. The magnitude of the , ' evil, in its financial, social, moral and spiritual results, was incalculable. In the United States 330,000,000 of j gallons of liquors, costing $730,000,000, were consumed annually?$20 to each ) man, woman and child. Four-fifths of ' the inmates of the almshouses were there in consequence of. intemperance. Vagrancy and beggary had their main source there, and eighty to ninety per cent, of all criminals connected their course of crime with intemperance. Dr. Ormiston gave fully statistics sustaining these views, and spoke at length of the , evils arising to the individual drunkard, of the influence of drinking against religion both at home and abroad, and of the e fact that moderate drinking was only the * introduction to excess. He also dwelt r upon the duty of all parents, for the sake , of their children, to make earnest efforts that they be not entangled in this crime. \ A Sure Cure for " Humps." A dashing woman, witli an enormous i bustle, cam* teetering into an incoming Chicago train, the other morning, and Z settled herself in a seat opposite an old .

T THE ASHTABULA DISASTER. The 8ad Story of the Wrcckcd Train, with iJs Terrible Losn of Life. Of the 160 passengers whom the con ductor reports as having been ou board | the train destroyed by the Ashtabula (Ohio) disaster, but fifty-nine cau be acJ counted for. The disaster was dramatically complete; no element of horror was | wanting. First, the crash of the bridge, : the agonieirg moments of suspense as 1 the seven laden cars plunged down to the I icy bed of the river; then came the fire I to destroy all who had been left alive by ; the crash; the water gurgled up from bei neath the ice and offered another form of j death, and finally the biting blast, filled J with snow, froze and benumbed those i who had escaped water and fire. It was j an ideal tragedy. The scene of the acci| dent was the valley of the creek which, flowing down past the eastern margin of | Ashtabula village, passes under the raili way three or four hundred yards east of I the station. Here for many years after ! the Ti.'ikp Shorn road wm built, th^ro -ivns : n long wooden trestle work, but when f the road was improved, about ten years | ago, this was superseded with an iron I Howe truss, built at the Cleveland shops, i and resting at cither end upon high stone piers, flanked by heavy earthen embank| ments. The iron structure was a single j span of 159 feet, crossed by a double , track, seventy feet above the water, which at that point is from three to six feet deep, and covered with eight inches of ice. The descent to the valley on either side is precipitous, and as the ; hills and slopes are piled with heavy drifts of snow there was no little diftlcul: ty in reaching the wreck after the disas- i ; ter became kr. >wn. The bridge was intended to be as strong as iron and masonry could make ; it, and it required a sight of the wreck ' to convince the chief eugineer of the | road that the bridge had fallen under the | weight of a single train. The disaster ; ; occurred shortly before eight o'clock. It ' was the wildest winter night of the year. Three hours behind its time, the Pacific | express, which had left New York the ! evening before, struggled along through the drifts and the blinding storm. The i eleven cars were a heavy burden to the two engines, and when the leading locomotive broke through the drifts beyond the ravine and rolled on across the bridge, the train was moving at less than ! ten miles an hour. The head lamp threw but a short and dim flash of light in front, so thick was the air with the driv. ing snow. The train crept across the ' bridge. The leading engine had reached the solid ground beyond, and its driver had jnst given it steam, when something in the undergearing of the bridge snapped. For an instant there was a confused crackling of beams and girders, ending with a tremendous crash as the whole train, except the leading engine, broke through the framework and fell in ; a heap of crushed and splintered ruins j at the bottom. Notwithstanding the.; wind and storm, the crash was heard by people indoors half a mile away. For a | ; moment there was silence, a stunned sensation among the survivors, who, in all stages of mutilation, lay piled among the dying and dead. The few who remuined 1 unhurt hastened to escape from the j shattered cars. They crawled out of windows into freezing water waist deep; men, women and children with limbs 1)rnised and broken, pinched between timbers, and transfixed by jagged splinters, begged with their last breath for aid that no human power could give. Five minutes after the train fell, the fire broke out in the cars piled against the abutments at either end. A moment later, flames broke from the smoking car and first coach, piled across each other near the middle of the stream. In less ' than ten minutes after the catastrophe every c:Cr in the wreck was on fire, and the flames, fed by the dry, varnished ' woodwork and fanned by the icy gale, j consumed the ruins as though they had been tinder. Men who in the bewilderment of the shock sprang out and reached the ice, went back after wives and children and found them suffocating and roasting in the flames. The neighboring residents, startled by the crash, were lighted to t he scene by the conflagration, which made even their prompt assistance too late. By midnight the destruction ; was complete. The storm had subsided; but the wind still blew fiercely and the cold became even more intense. When morning came all that remuined of the Pacific express was a shapeless mass of car wheels, axles, brake irons, truck frames ami twisted rails, lying m a blacK pool at the bottom of the gorge. The wood had btimed completely away and the mina if"'1 Vi;ith white nahefu^ Sn the crest! of the western abutment, half buried in the snow, stood the rescued locomotive. As the bridge fell its driver had given it a quick head of steam, which tore the drawheiul from its tender and the liberated engine shot forward and buried itself in the snow. The other locomotive, drawn backward by the falling train, tumbled over the pier, and fell, bottom upward, over the express car next behind. The engineer, Folsom, escaped with a broken leg, how he cannot tell, nor any one else imagine. It was at first fenred that not more than a dozen bodies would be recovered sufficiently preserved to be removed. As the debrin was cleared away, down to the , surface of the water, however, a number were found. Thirty-four of them were taken out, but only a few of these were in a condition to be identified, except by means of buttons, jewelry, or other trinkets, known only to their friends. The Captured Spmiisli Steamer. The story has been toU of the capture of the Spanish steamer Moctezuma by ' Cubans, but not in detail. It was as follows : A party of eleven Cubans left St. Domingo for Santiago- de Cuba on the steamer. Their arms consisted of revolvers and swords, the latter concealed in trunks, while some had bowie knives. Prado, chief of the expedition, disposed the men in position, when dinner was being served, at half-past five. Ti'- "< vxiv+v 1 hv Prado. sum All IK Ui ll.v ~J , -k. , moiled the officers of the steamer to surrender. One of the party says : The signal of each man to his post was given, and Prado, with myself, each with a revolver in his hand, entered the cabin, while Morey guarded the entrance to the door. Prado told the assembled officers that lie demanded the surrender of the vessel. They, seeing such a small < attacking party, commenced to resist. Several shots were then tired by us to intimidate the Spaniards, but with no intent to kill. The resistance became more determined, and Prado having been wounded, it was found necessary to take life to he successful in our mission. Firing in earnest then took place. The < first to fall was Captain Coclio, with two ' shots in his head. Then came the steward who had wounded Prado, who reoived a bullet in his heart; a Catalonian passenger and a sailor who resisted were also killed. Among the wounded were a iireman, who received a shot in the arm; the storekeeper aud a Cuban passenger, who was accidentally wounded. These were the total casualties, and we were masters of the Moctezuma and her officers and crew, numbering some seventy souls. There were also a number of passengers, among them being a Spanish official connected with the star department of the island of Porto Rico. We fastened the hands of some of our prisoners for a short time, while we held 'a council of war. Soou afterward we released them. Meanwhile the working of the ship was conducted as before. On the following day the passengers and part of her crew were landed near Port au Paix on the northern const of Hayti. Returning, however, to the steamer, she otiritiinipd on her course, subsequently sending Gutierrez and myself ashore in a boat with messages for the republic of Cuba and the agents of said republic. The Cespedes, the name the steamer is now known by, is no pirate, for she carries letters of marque. She is commanded by men ready and willing to sacrifice their lives for Cuban independence. I cannot conclude without expressing the warmest thanks to Peru for the noble sons she has given us to help us in our struggle for liberty.

An appalling railway disaster occurred near Ashtabula, Ohio, by which over 100 persons lost their lives or were seriously injured. As a night western express was crossing on an iron bridge the structure gave way and precipitated eleven cars seventy-five feet to the river below, crushing through the ice. The portions of the cars not submerged were almost instantaneously in ilamos, so that the inmates who escaped crushing in the fall and drowning in the water had difficulty to avoid a still more horrible fate. Terrible confusion occurred, the darkness of the night being intensified by a binding snowstorm. There were 175 persons on the train at the time, two-thirds of whom suffered injuries more or less serious. Thirty-six "bodies were removed from the scene of the Ashtabula disaster. The balance of the unfortunate victims are so completely destroyed by tire that they cannot be separated or removed." Of the thirtv-six recovered, nine teen are recognized and identified. A few of the bodies winch wi re under water show very little mutilation. Others are burned away mo that all thnt in left of a man or woman can be put in a cigar box.

Mr. Gordon (Dem.), of Georgia, presented a memorial of Wade Hampton^ William D. Simp' son, William Wallace, and mxty-eight sen a torn and representatives in the General Assembly of South Carolina, relative to the political sifna! tion in that State, and setting forth that the I "petitioners " respectfully apply to your honorI able bodies to cause a cessation of the nnwarj ranted interference of the military authorities ! and the United States troops in tile affairs of thin Stutf, and for audi action as will /olievo them from the unwarranted conduct of the United States authorities, hereinbefore set forth, and will enable the governor, lieutenant-governor and House of Representatives peacefully to exercise the rights and perform the duties of the offices to which they have been elected.' Mr. Gordon, by unanimous consent, submited the following resolution: Resolved by tJw Senate, That the State government now existing in the State of South Carolina, and represented by Wade Hampton as governor, is the lawful government of said State ; that it is republican in form, and that every assistance necessary to sustain its proper and lawful authority in said State should be given by the United States when properly called uj)on for that purpose, to the end that the laws may be faithfully and promptly executed, life and propn?i? nvwl /If-inn An A nnrl oil rinlnfnrj of * law, State or national, brought to speedy punishment for their crimen.

The Speaker laid before the House the message from tho President in regard to the extradition treaty with Great Britain. Referred. I The Speaker laid before the House a petition j from certain citizens of Cincinnati in regard to | counting the electoral vote. A discussion arose I as to whether tho petition should be read, Mr. Garfield (Rep.), of Ohio, holding that the read! ing of a petition was out of order, even though j presented by the Speaker. Mr. Banning (Dem.), ; of Ohio, in reply said the Republican party was attempting to defeat the will of the people by I fraud, but if there was one thing tho people I loved more than another-more than life-it I was tho liberty that was vouchsafed to them in | an honest ballot box. He wished to tell the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Garfield) that the people would have an honest ballot box though the I army might come with eighty rounds of ammn! nition, though the navv might bo called upon, j though the 80,000 officeholders might be called ! to the rescue. An honest people would put them all down. Mr. Garacld regretted that his , j colleague should sneak in timo of real danger j like tlie present, when tho country needed all i the wisdom and all its fairness and all its calm! uess, that ho should find it necessary at such a j time to hint at what the people would do-that I the army might come, that the navy might ! | come, that the trappings of war might rati tie, but that the people would come down i and overide everything.

' The petition wan read and referred. A Sick Woman's Pet. i A young bedridden woman has lately | had an interesting experience with a I monstrous rat. She resided with her j mother and two sisters in a couple of i humble apartments in Liverpool, Eng1 land. On account of the efforts of her mother and sisters to support their ! home the invalid was frequently left , alone for hours. When all was quiet n huge rat first made his appearance through an aperture in a closet. The ; sick girl having no fear of rodents thew ' some crumbs from her table, but for i several days the big rat declined and ventured no further* than a head's length . beyond the hole. Finally he took eonr| age and rushed out for the morsels of ' bread thrown by the feeble hands; still ; he made as little delay as possible until the time had grown ripe lor closer ac| qnaintance. The invalid gradually iu! ditecd his ratship to make nearer adj vances, and he begun to linger after the j daily meal and. gambol about the floor until the iirst strange footstep fell upon the threshold, and then he was off like a flash. Then it became one of the poor j sick girl's whims to have her rat's daily i portion specially laid by, and the fierce ! looking and anomalous pet at length ! was coaxed to run tip the side of the I table and nibble his dinner beside his j kindly mistress. Even then he could j not be induced to stay if the most ! stealthy footfall were heard near the i door. The only way hi which outsiders' j could watch his movements was through . the little windows on the top of the ?ATl'ast Tiepernitttsf TVmwaV Ar \ be fondled without any treacherous reI sistance, and the sick girl had not the least fear of him. He was never heard at night, nor was there any other rat : about the premises. Then the. feeble hand could serve the strange pet no longer, nor could the poor girl be left nlnr?A lone enoucli to assure the tamed i rmleut that it was safe to come out. She died, and nil other efforts to call liim out j of his hiding place were unavailing. The sick girl had had him in a tame condii tion for nearly six months. A Difficult Drill. | At the West Point military school the cadets are taught to ride 1>areback, to ride without stirrups, to jump hurdles, to use the pistol and saber while riding, to "cut heads to the right and left," and other feats. The "heads" are leather balls about four or five incites in in diameter, which are placed on posts of | various heights. The trooper moving at a rapid gallop must cut these heads rid| ing to the right and left, and also cut j heads resting on the ground, the last a rather difficult feat when done to the left, ! compelling the rider to swing the saber over his bridlo hand and to reach down from a horse sixteen hands high. They also cut heads with the right and left cot jit the instant of jumping a hurdle. The most skillful maneuver is the cutting ; of a head upon the ground between two ' hurdles placed about forty feet apart, the 1 ?i ? trooper ruling atiun epeeu unu lihuu^ to the right and left in the interval between leaping the hurdles. The trooper ; is also taught to turn his horse at full gallop in a circle four yards in diameter. ; Most of these feats are performed in the . riding hall, a room about 190 feet long ! by sixty-eight wide, with a tanbnrk floor. The parade ground is about 1)50 yards long by 150 in width. Seventy-fiVe horses are kept in use, the stables accommodating about 100. The animals are cared for by a detachment of regular soldiers provided for such service, the cadets being too busy to perform this duty. Why Pardon was Granted. A pardon has been recently granted io Joshua F. Bailer, a revenue collector, who in 1870 left the United States with his accounts in arrears some ?650,000. In his application for the absolute and unconditional pardon which has been extended to him bv the President, Mr. Bailey set forth that he fled the country because of the persecution oi the then powerful whisky ring, which had so misrepresented him that to prove his innocence would have been impossible. Further, that he was not a defaulter as rep' resented, but that of the 8050,000 discrepancy in his accounts at least $550,000 consisted of uncollectable and uncollected accounts, for which amount he is entitled to immediate credit. Of the other $100,000 he claims that the larger ! part was for moneys paid out by him in the prosecution of oflicial and unofficial thieves upon the revenue, and for other legitimate purposes. Thirty-five thousand dollars of this amount, the loss of which he is unable to account for, but which was no defalcation, lie promises to make good to the government, if, upon ! examination, he is held liable for it. Mr. Bailey only returned to his home a few days ago, bringing with him his children. His wife \v;is lost in an ocean passive Home two years ngo. During his ab( sence Mr. Bailey is understood to have , been in South America. An educated young man went to Mis. sissippi a few years since. His friends . were proud of liim, and said he would , be heard in the world before mnny yeais. 5 They Avere right; the young man now , beats a gong at a railroad station. [| At our request Cragin &.
