VICTIMS or THE HOPE. -Three Murderers Hanged?Two on the Same Gallows. T T*r_?Tnol-cnn hnvp tJttlUUN TV ?lSiX.IU auu UU?;[JU 1 been hanged at Fort Smith, Ark., for murders committed in the Indian Territory. Anticipating a respite, United States Marshal Carroll postponed the hour of execution until afternoon. At 2 o'clock the prisoners were dressed and the death warrant read. They were then ironed, and after bidding their fellow prisoners good-by were taken to the scaffold at 3 o'clock. Before being | handcuffed, Jackson attempted to cut his j throat with a bottle, but was prevented by I the guards after he had cut a gash in his j ne:-k. Some delay occurred at the gallows i awaiting Wesson's minister, and atter the minister's prayer the doomed men bade each j other good-bye, and as the ropes were adjusted bade their last farewell to the guards, reporters and others present. The drop was sprung at 3:40 P. M. and both men died without a struggle. The execution was witnessed by about one hundred persons. Both men protested their innocence. This makes seventyone men hanged on this gallows within the past twelve years, all for murders committed in the Indian Territory. The crimes for which the men were hanged were committed in the Indian Territorj'. Wasson was convicted of the murder of Henry Martin in the ChL-kasaw Nation in November, 1881. Wasson and a young Indian named John McLoughlin, a nephew of t.ViA finvpmor of the Chickasaw Nation, were together on the day of the killing, and were tried jointly for the crime, but the jury disagreed as to McLougblin and convicted Wasson. "Watson is also charged with the murder of Almarine Wutkins, a Texas cattle king, whose widow offered 61,000 reward for his arrest Jackson was charged with an atrocious wife murder. Because he thought his wife was too much trouble to him he emptied the contents of a double-barrelled shotgun into her breast one morning after breakfast. The killing occurred March 9,1880,at Sculley ville, Choctaw Nation. IS'o one was near but the murderer and his victim, but a chain of circumstances told the story so plainly that the jury wa< out but a few minutes before returning with a verdict of guilty. Jackson was a very desperate negro, and had to be chained up like a wild beast while being taken to the United States jail. Robert Fowler (colored) was hanged on the ( same day at Morpantield. Ky., for the murder of a young colored woman named Lydia Bai nett on August 10, 1885. Fowler weighed j pounds, and the fall broke the rope. It is supi>osed, however, that his neck was broken. He was raised by several men, the j * * ' ? i *- iI roped was tied to tne Deam, ana ue was leu, hanging for twenty minutes. THE NATIONAL GAME. There are seven left-handed batters on the Detroit Leagua nine. A high laced shoe is the best for ball players, made on the English walking shoe last. The railroad fares of the League and Association will loot up to nearly $50,000 this season. Johnny Ward hasn't forgotten how to run the bases, according to reports from New York. The Southern papers say that Twitchell.of the Detroits. is the most graceful pitcher ever seen down there. Purcell, of Atlanta, and Dickerson, of Chattanooga, are the oldest ball players in the Southern League. The Phila lelphias (National League) <von I the local championship from the Athletics j (American Association;. j The Atlanta (Georgia) people are of the opinion that their club has a walk-over for tne Southern League pennant. The eight leading organizations will employ over seven hundred players, whose salaries will aggregate $Su0,U00. All St. Louis has actually worked itself into the belief that the ilaroons can and will win the National League pennant. All the Southern League games are drawing big crowds, and interest in the contest is greater even than it was last season. Ii is said that the players of the Metropolitan American Associate >n Club have Leen promised $2U0 each if they win the pennant. The pitchers seem to be getting the better of the batsmen as much as ever, and big strike-out records are of almost daily occurs rence. Roser Connor is batting in a style which indicates that if not at the top of the league i | batsmen again this year, he won't be very iar down the list. Every club in the International League nas already set iortn us ciaim ior mu y?unant, an! each oaa has proved conclusively that it wilj win the championship. The New York Herald thinks the Newarks will win the championship of the Eastern Laague'without putting themselves to much i inconvenience. Hartford demurs. I The Chicago and Philadelphia clubs did not lose a game bouth. The Chicagos' per- i formance is the more creditable because they 1 played many more games with different clubs. A New York paper assorts that "Finley, !, of the Columbia College team, is considered , by many to be the best amateur catcher in the country. He is certainly far ahead of many professionals." Dealers in baseball supplies report the largest business ever known, whicn would i indicate that the game is steadily gaining , favor, and that this will be one cf the best?if not the best?season on record. ! The base-stealing record seems to have stirred even the most sluggish players up, | 1 and men now run to second whom previously . i nuirnug couiu coa..s. iuriuer u,?ny uuun mu . feet from first base but a safe hit. It is proposed to organize a North Georgia base ball league, comprising the Madison, Washington, Lexington, Harmony Grove, i University and Athens clubs, together with I such clubs as wish to join the league. I I A colored base ball league has been ' I formed at Jacksonville, Fla., including Mem- ; i phis, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, \ \ Charleston, Savannah, St. Augustine, Mont- < gomery and other Southern cities. Kent Howard, who was the leading bat- i J ter of the New England League, and for that reason was signed by the St. JLouis National J I League Club, has discovered how difficult it ; | s to maintain a minor league reputation in 1 ( the fast company of a big league. : The proposel Virginia State League ought ' to be a.success, considering the popu'ation of the cities which propose entering, viz: Lynchburg, with 2S,(XX) inhabitants; Dan- I rule. 26,UU0 Richmond, S?.>,000; Norfolk, 35,000; Stanton, 12,000, and Roanoke, 14,000. The Defroits are the biggest sat of men ever gathered into one team, Manning being the only mediem-sized man in the team. In ? rr,, , uroutners, vv nite, jl nouipsun anu i. wilcuuii | the team has giants, while Rowe, Richardson, Hanlon and Bennett are very large, j heavy men. The Bridgeports have followed Washing- > ton's example, buried a horse-shoe under the | home plate for luck and then went to New i York and allowed the Giants to beat them 14 to 0. Meanwhile the Washingtons are catching it right to left. The horse-shoe theory doesn't seem to pan out at all in practice. The St. Louis Republican ssljs: "Bauer, of the Maroons, is perhaps the most muscular ; ball-player in the profession. During one of i the recent games at Sportsman's Bam, some ' one in the crowd where Bauer was standing I made an insulting remark about the Maroons, and Bauer almost male a hele in the fence with him." A number of Atlanta players have already been heavilv fined for drunkenness i and late hours. Managing Director Ryan I admits this aud says: ,4I will do it again whenever they break the rules. They know [ the rules, and they know the consequences of j breaking them. Our toaiu can play ball and \ it has got to play ball." PBOMINENT PEOPLE.

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE. The Radish Worm. A Cultivator correspondent sav9: 'It is well known that the radish, when set in old cultivated land, or in soil that is compact or in any way heavy, is invariably attacked by a wcrm which renders the vegetable worthless. Sandy soil, or such as is made light by sand, is par- 1 tially preventive. Coal ashes are also ' recommended. From three years' ex- 1 perience in the matter, I find that sul- < phur is a specific for the radish worm. After making the slight furrow for the ' seed, sprinkle a liocral covering of ' sulphur in it. Next sow the seed upon i it, cover and press the e irth over the i seeci, nnany applying anutucx sprniMniy of sulphur over the spot where the seed j is sown. "With this preparation, I have found that the worm will not attack the radish. I wish many of our readers would try this same experiment and re- ] port results at the end of the season." ] Gathering Seed Corn. i Here is the result of the experiments 1 of Professor W. C. Latta, of Purdue f University, in gathering seed corn. It j will be well worth bearing in mind next I fall, when the corn is ripening. Profes sor Latta writes: "Every year our far- 1 mers suffer great loss from defective seed 1 corn?a loss which is just as unnecessary 1 as it is great. We may sometimes con- ! sole ourselves with the thought that we ! have done all we could, and that our 1 misfortunes are the result of causes be- < yond our control. Not so in the case of ' poor seed corn, for it is the result of ig- ] norance or carelessness. Now that ; many farmers are facing the unpleasant ' prospect of having to buy seed corn at a good round price, it may be an oppor- ( tune time to call attention to the fact ' "hat it is not only possible, but easy for 1 every farmer to produce his own seed ] corn. The secret of succ3ss lies in gath- 1 ering the corn early enough to get well 1 dried before freezing weather sets in. Th:* 1 corn mav be fathered verv earlv?even 1 in the '"roasting car' stage?and if it is 1 hung up in a dry room or loft in which ! the air can circulate freely it will cure 1 and grow wTith certainty. Cultivating the Blackberry. The blackberry is a native fruit, nnd is ' propagated by root cnttings and suckers, though for all ordinary purposes the last j method is the only one that need be em- | ployed. This is the natural way; but when it is desired to propagate a new j kind, and there are but few vines, then ^ cuttings are used. It is easy to largely ^ increase the number of suckers by run- j ning a sharp spade into the soil near the plant in the fall, at intervals of three or ^ four iuches. These severed roots will throw up shoots. The root cuttings are ^ dug up in the fall and packed either in j beds or in boxes of rich soil; to protect r the beds from freezing, a mulch is used. s In the spring the different cuttings throw * up one or more shoots. Blackberries may be set with success in the spring, j though the fall is preferable. This is an easy crop to grow, if not neglected; but t late cultivation should be avoided, as a growth of cane is likely to be produced, j which is liable to winter-kill. Pull the suckers in June or July. When the plants ^ are first set,[cut back the one cane used to ^ a few inches, and when in the summer th - ^ the new shoots are about two feet high, y pinch the ends to increase their size, that e they may stand without support. Cut j the old cane entirely away at the end of ^ the first season. The next summer repeat the same process to make the canes j Btocky that is practised the first year, and cut away the old canes at the end of each Beason. A good yield of fruit may be expected the third season fronuplanting. ? Cultivator. Eggs for Hatching. If the rules given by an authority in France?where poultry matters receive so much successful attention?were strictly s followed we should hear less about addled ? ecrers. chickens coming dead, or too weak 1 to break out of the shell when fully de- 1 veloped. Never let the eggs pass over one day in the nest when laid, and it 1 would be better to pick them up three or 1 four times a day, or as soon after being '< laid as possible. This prevents the pro- s longed contact of the heat of each sue- f cessive laying hen, which is apt to create ' a premature development of the germ in 1 the egg, making it liable to perish when t this heat is withdrawn. Reject all with i soft shell or in any way misshapen, or i surrounded with a circular ring, or hav- f ing one end with an uneven or rough sur face. Also those very narrow or un- ( usually round, or wanting in size, or too i large or double yolked. t The sooner they are set the more cer- $ tainty of hatching, and the more quickly; i eggs set immediately after being laid 1 often hatch in nineteen days, instead of s twenty-one, the general prescribed time. ? Eggs will preserve their germinating t qualities twenty days; but in order to be c well kept during this time they ought to j be turned once a day, as is done by the hen when sitting. This turning has the ] effect of keeping the yolk in the centre, t which is important; it being of a greater s specific gravity th in the white or albumen, its tendency is to work through the side of the shell, and this injures it for hatching, the chickens being liable to ^ come out weakly or deformed. When eggs are received by railroad or post the f package ought to be opened and set in a g quiet, cool, airy place for twenty-four houis before being put under the hen. * This delay is needful to allow the fertile germs to recover their natural position f and equilibrium, from the jolting or jar- v ring they get in traveling.?A. B. Allen, a in Tribune. c Management of Peach Trees. c With ordinary management, or mismanagement rather, the peach tree has ' come to be regarded as short lived, while ; in point of fact, with good care, it has 1 been known to live and thrive from I twenty to thirty years. Mr. David Baird, of Manalapan, N. J., in a paper presented n before the State Horticultural Society. l claims that in congenial soil and properly treated peach trees will continue in bear- t ing from ten to thirty years and more c than pay cost of land each bearing year, c for the market will take p aches in > larger c^uaiitities than any oihor fruit of 1 |"s season, and give better prices than any 1 seller crop for money and labor invested. i Mr. Baird also believes that with care 1 the "yellows," that fatal obstacle to sue- f l -ssful peach culture, can be overcome or counteracted. His remedy is mostly preventive : Plant hcalthv trees, propagated juom seed gathered from sections where j Pile disease is unknown, with buds from Wealthy stock, and on ground not before planted with the peach. Eradicate root md branch on first appearance on every tree showing signs of disease, and apply alkalies to neutralize or destroy fungi. Keep out the worms or grubs that weaken the tree by their depredations. Thin overloaded trees of their fruit. This last keeps the trees vigorous. Give good cul- t / 1 ' . . . tivation, which means stirring the soi and applying the necessary fertilizers t< keep the trees in healthy growth. ? : 1.

These are standard sorts, ripening in succession and giving a continuous supplj of fruit from earliest to latest. In a discussion following the abovt remarks, Mr. Black, of Mercer, statcc1 that he believed that much of the appearance of''yellows1'is due to careless culture and the depredation of insccts. The black aphis, infesting the roots ol the trees and living on their juices, in hh opinion, does more harm than the borer. He advised keeping watch of the insects when these come above ground, and using hnlinnnn rlnsf, nr inine. Whnre the soil is deficient in fertility, he advised the application of 200 pounds of muriate o: potash to 1,500 pounds of ground bone per acre.?New York World. Grafting Stone Fruit. The cherry and plum, and even th< peach, can be grafted with success, if the work be done early in the season; but ii left until the buds begin to break, it is much more difficult to make the ciona live in either of these trees than in the iipple or pear. Just why this is so is not fully understood, but the fact is well known. In grafting trees that produce stone fruit, the work should be done sarly in Aprii; for if left until the last of the month the result will rarely be satisfactory. In grafting the peach the work should not only be done early in the season, but it should be done on young trees; for to set cions in the branches of Did peach trees is not usually attenaea i with success. The best time to graft a peach tree is when it is young and has a stone not much more than an inch in diimeter. The top should be cut off level with the ground. After the cion is set, ilraw the earth up around it so as to leave but two buds above ground; a cion thus set will rarely fail to grow; but as a rule it is not necessary to graft the peach, because they can be as easily budded,and l he buds can be set the first year after the tree comes from the seed, when the tree is too small to graft; but sometimes the bud fails to grow, and the tree makes such rapid growth that it is too large to re-bud in the autumn; then it is desirable to uraftin the following spring. t, j? j ?: ? it is oxten iui;nu ucsiiauie i<u gmn uum the plum and the cherry when the trees ire nearly full grown, and fortunately the work can be done on a large tree almost is successfully as on a small one, providing the work be done at the right season by one who understands it. In grafting i full-grown tree the work should be commenced at the top,and the whole center of the tree cut off and grafted; and if the cions all grow well, the next year the lower limbs may be grafted; but, as a rule, it is best to be three years in changing the top of a large tree. One mistake is often made that should be avoided, svhich is in setting cions of too great ength; two good buds are sufficient, rhere are several advantages in having >hort cions; first, there is not so much langerof their drying up; second, it retires less force to start two buds than a lalf dozen, some of which are a considjrable distance from the growingtree; hird, there is not the danger of a short ;ion being started as there-is a long one. Many cions are broken off, or started out )f place by the birds, therefore, when the vhole top of a tree is grafted, some provision should be made for the birds, that hey may not rest on the cions; this can )e done by fastening firmly to the tree iome of the severed limb3, so they will be ligher than the cions. Unless some provision of this kind be made, the early grafted trees will b3 very likely to have nany cions displaced by the birds.?Masachusetts Plowman. Recipes.

It is thought that there are over 200,- ' 000 deaf mutes'in the world. The number in Great Britain is 20,000, in this i country 35,000. Their instruction involves peculiar difficulties, but without it they become a heavy public burden. ;<. rtnitr oVinnf spvnntv vears since the a fir.-t institution was established for the s purpose, and there are now but forty- P eight in the United States, a number altogether inadequate. With the piesent j arrangements, the cost of each pupil is b $200 a year, as it includes the expense of 1 boarding them. Most of this class of persons have all the organs of speech, and are mute only because they are deaf, either never having learned, or having forgotten how, to use them in spoken language. But it is the minority who are born deaf. Of the 3(54 graduates of the Pennsylvania Institution, only 132 were so born, and of the 501 pupils in the similar institution i:i Ontario, 202, the others having lost their hearing by fevers, measles and other diseases. It seems, therefore, that the majority of deaf mutes become so from preventible causes?preventible if imdical attention was earlier called to flip rnnrtitinn nf the ear. Formerly deaf mutes were taught to converse only by manual signs. Latterly it lias been found possible to teach them to converse by articulation. This is comparatively easy in the case of those whose deafness came on after they had learned to talk. In others it is more difficult, but it can be done; and even where the ability acquired is not equal to the needs of general intercourse, it is to that of the home. In the Clinton Street School, Philadelphia, articulation alone is taught, and the more advanced pupils there compare in some branches with other children of the same a*e whose senses are perfect. It is doubtless, on the whole, best to learn both articulation and the sign manual. Professor Graham Bell thinks that deaf mutes ought not to marry, but careful investigation does not confirm tne iaea on which he bases his belief. The Superintendent of the Ontario Institution hns been unable to learn of a single deaf mute born of deaf mute parents; while, of all who have intermarried, he has not found one who has given birth to a deaf mute child.?Youths Companion. American Farmers. "Opportunities for Young Men in America," is the title of an article by the Marquis of Lome in Youth's Companion. Speaking of American farmers, he says: ''I have seen such considering themselves fortunate in about twenty of the States of the Union, although it must be confessed that rural and bucolic delights do not always quell the restlessness which moves West until it meets the sea. Sometimes even the sea doesn't silence the craving for movement, and I have known a farmer who began farming in New England and has ended for the present in continuing his oft-interrupted but ever resumed occupation in Western Australia. Of the farming grandees I have known, I think the two grandest are, first, a ranchman who had a fine house, splendidly furnished,herds of cattle which would have made Abraham envious, and a little army of cow-boys, all ready to resist nnyborly but their boss, who hns sufficient leisure to visit Europe or New York every winter.

The best in the world. - A urngiiii n niory. . Mr. Isaac C. Chapman, druggist, Newburg, If. Y., writes us: "I have for the past ten years sold several gross of Dr. Wm. Hjj.l'3 Balsam for the Lotos. I can say of It what I cannot say of any other medl cine. I have never heard a customer spealc of it but to praise Its virtues In the highest manner. I have recommended It In a great many cases of Whooping Cough, with the happiest effects. I have used it In my own family for many years; In fact, always hare a bottle In the raed!.clne closet." ' ' That Tired Feeling Which afflicts nearly every one at this season is entirely overcome by Hood's Sarsaparilla, wuiV/ii Xiao i no jJGUuntil rncixt ui uuuuiug uy and strengthening the system while it eradicates disease. "I have been in poor health several years, \'v suffering from indigestion, restlessness in the night, and in this morning I would get up with , a very tired feeling. After taking only a part of the first bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla I could rest well all night and feel refreshed when I woke up. I must say that Hood's Sarsaparilla is all it is recommended to be."? Mrs. H. D. Wisans, 210 East Mason Street, Jackson, Mich. Now is the Time To take Hood's Sarsaparilla, the popular spring medicine and blood purifier. "Why? Because the body is how more susceptible to the beneficial effects of this peculiar medicine than at any other season. Because the impurities in the blood should be expelled and that tired feeling overcome before the additional debilitating effects of warm weather are felt rag Because the thousands of people who have tried it pronounce Hood's Sarsaparilla the very best medicine to take in the spring. Because delays are dangerous. A dollar spent for this peculiar medicine now may prevent ill ness which will be expensive and hard to bear. Because, as now is the time when you may derive the greatest good, it is certainly economy to take Hood's Sarsaparilla now. Do Not be Imposed Upon The great and increasing popularity of Hood's Sarsaparilla has led some unprincipled men to use it as a bait to draw c ustomers to their stores, and then by unfair representations endeavor to sell other kinds. It is unnecessary for us to caution those who have tried Hood's Sarsaparilla and know its peculiar merit. But to those who have never taken it we say, Don't be imposed upon. Insist upon having Hood's Sarsaparilla and no other. The men who claim that - v their preparations are "as good as Hood's," by so doing admit that Hood's is the standard, and , '3 possesses peculiar merit which they try in vain to reach. * Immense Amount of Good _ .^jl "I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat distressed me, or did me little good. In an hour after eat- .?? ing I would experience a faintness or tired, allgone feeling, as though I had not eaten anythine. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, ana ma my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired, all-zone feeling. I have felt so much better since I took Hood's Sarsaparilla that I am happv to add my recommendation." -'U ?George A. Page, Watertown, Mass.
