Liberty Statue.
The action of Congress on Friday
pratieally settles the question as to
the remainder of the money nec
essary for the completion of the
Statue of Liberty, as well as for the
amounts necessary for the inaug
uration ceremonies next Septem
ber, and for the cleaning up and or
namentation of Liberty Island. The
sum asked by the American Com
mittee for these several purposes is
$100,000. Only a lew thousand dol
lars more than the committee al-
I ready had was needed for the ped
estal and the statue properly, but
large sum was requisite far the
payment of expenses connected
with the reception and entertain
ment of Frencn 'visitors at the lime
of the inauguration and lor the
changes neces.-ary on the island. A
great deal of work has yet to he done
before the suiroundings of the
great statue aie in pi. per order.
The island ha - been i.calefied for
years, an t it is > ow revered witli
debris. AU the I- Tiding- now there
wilt probably r.e removed and some
new and appropriate ones erected in
thr.'ir stead. A new dock is also to
bd built. J-i't ws.w. i. i- ini, rove-
ii rents are to be is yet largely a mut
ter of conjecture, but they will no
doubt make Liberty Island one of
the most beautiful spots in the
world it is indeed a beautiful
place now notwithstanding the neg-
lectinto which it'has fallen. From
no point in the harbor is there such
a superb view! Standing almost
midway between Governor’s island
on the one side and the Jersey shore
on the other, with the lower
end of New York City but two or
three miles away and Staten Is
land arid lire Narrows plainly in
sight, the panoramic aspect of the
scene presented is marve llousiy
fascinating. Only a little to the east
is the pathway of the ships that

the sea, and riot a moment passes
without the sight of some craft,great

island is covered now with green
grass, and there are many trees to
give additional beauty to tire
grounds.

It is remarked that nearly all the
diseases of poultry arise from cold
moisture.
Thera are two -seasons when
mulching even with straw serves a
good purpose—in the extreme cold
of winter and the extreme heat of
summer.
It is said that “one of the grandest
sights in Dakota at this season of
the year is to see the wite stacking
grain while the husband is off elec
tioneering.”
Insects and animal food form a
part of the natural diet of poultry
are medicinal to them in a weakly
state, and the want of such food
will impede their thriving.
It is a well-known (act that “super
liuous moisture, whether exteriial (
or internal is death, to chickens,’
They should not, therefore, be kept in
camp quartern or fed on slops
The average number of eggs las d
oy an ordinary Hock of hens is about
8>ydoz:niaa towi, yet instances
nave been recorded where a hen
nas laid 2-jtt eggs in one year, and
from sixteen 11 seventeen dozen is
considered by poultry men a re-
markabie yield.
A writer in 183 ) says that “period
ically sunflower seed has been rec
ommended with high eo.n meniia-
tions as food for poultry, but has
never yet been attended to by the
generality of feeders.” What then
was true as to this sunflower matter
is true now.
There is no profit in feeding old
stock except it ba occasionally
when cows nine or ten years old
can be bought and fattened while
giving milk. A very old cow is un
lit for this purpose, and had better
be turned off for what she will
bring and let some one else take
the task of (atoning her.
There is little temptation now at.
present prices of grain to plow steep
hillsides or other rough fields. Those
farmers who were tempted years
ago to plow everything that the
plow could get through now rue
their folly, and concede that there is
much land that, if cleared from
forest, should be left in permanent
pasture.
A small piece of rye sown late
adjoining the hen-yard will be run
over during open weather in win
ter, and will furnish some grteu
food for fowls at a season when ii
is one of the things needed for eg*
production. The rye will not com
much, and will be worth more than
the expense for seed to plo iv under
as manure in spring.
Never tolerate a slow milker, and
if a cow holds up so that she can
not be milked rapidly turn her off
to the butcher. If the milk flows
freely, a good milker should be able
lo strip a cow in between 4 and 5
minutes. The quantity given has
not much to do with the time requir
ed, as cows which are nearly dry,
or given only a small quantity, need
good deal of stripping.

Tin* English Situation.
It is the prevailing impression in
England that- Mr. Gladstone will
take up the fight at one;, nu t that
the dissolution and the general
election will come very speedily
It will he one of tlie fiercest fights
that England has ever known.
Many of Mr. Gladstone’s best
friends and many of the best friends
to the home rule, believe that he
will be beaten on the first election
—that the Tories, the Harrington
Whigs, and the Chamberlain Rad
icals, aided by the cry of the danger
of disunion, and by tt.-at of the dan
ger to Ulster, will be too much tor
him before the people, as they were
in the present House. It may well
be that this should come about; but
even that wilt tie far from the end.

unharmonious factions mentioned

that the “grand old man’ may dom

IHs curious to read the glowing
description of Mrs. Clevelands
beautv.lt goes without saying that
the wives of all high officials in
Washington are exceedingly hand
some. That is one of the requisites
of high position. Every one who has
seen Mrs. Cleveland is ready lo con
cede that she is good looking, with
a fine fresh color and with \ery
easy, self-possessed manners. Lutit
must be remembered that this is
not her first visit to Washington.
Tho-e who are writing the ex
traordinary eui' es of her beauty,
and her graces saw her when she
was a guest at toe White House
over a vear ago, aim at that time
not one of tne society writers gave
her beauty more than two or three,
lines. Nearly all of the society
writers who describe her speak of
the enormous improvement in Mrs.
Cleveland during the last year. To
people who are not in the eulogy
business she appears abi ut as she
did then. She has matured some
but yet has a good deal 01" the fresh
ness of the schoolgirl in her ways.

favorable impression, but there is

All fields not sodded should have
open furrows made through them
to allow surface water to run off
during the winter. If wheat has
been sown, the furrows should have
been made before the grain germi
nated, in which case there will be
no loss of crop. But it is better to
plow furrows through the wheat at
the beginning of winter than to
leave the work undone.
The residents of the East End
mourn the loss of three of Cincin
nati’s old and prominent eitizens-
Sidney Milner, Richard Manley and
James L. White. A strange feature
connected with their deaths is that
they were all warm and true friends,
and died within a few hours of
each other. But neither knew of
the other’s death. They were also
each fifty-five years of age. During
their leisure hours they would meet
at one another’s residence and talk
and discuss the topics of the day
and things that occurred years ago.
A few days ago Texas was visited
by a terrible wind storm and great
damage was done and some lives
were lost, especially at Denton,
Itaska, McKinney, Waco, Pleasant

other portions of the State. The

ous ever known in that region.
Business in the South.
The industrial progress of the
South continues in a very marked
degree. The Baltimore Manufact
urer’s Record has a comprehensive
review of the new enterprises.
The report covers a period of two
weeks only, an epitome cf which is
given below:
“In Alabama, Mr. Samuel Thom
as and his associates are preparing
to build a large furnace, $600,000 in
cash having been put up against

well worth $800,000; at Sheffield, in
the same State, the contract has
been awarded for a one-hundred-

foundry and machine shop lias been
commenced at the same city, a site
has been purchased for a bolt and

Robert M. T. Hunter, the former
Secretary of State under the Con
federacy, was appointed the oilier
day Collector of Customs at a smal I
Virginia port at the mouth of the
Rappahannock river. The salary
and fees of this piace amount to
$480 a year. Mr. Hunter is now

him to live comfortably. Mr. Hun
ter bad not been treated well by
Virginia since the fall of the Con
federacy. Mr Hunter was the
brains of the Confederate Govern
ment. He was, without exception,
one of the most powerful intellects
ever produced by the South, and
the way he had been treated of
late years was disgraceful. His ap
pointment to this petty place
was opposed by the Representative
in Congress of his district and was
only secured through outside influ
ences. Mr Hooter has been crowd
ed out by the young men of Vir
ginia, and although he has been
oue of the most prominent men of
his time is now filling one of the
smallest of the Fedral offices in the
Administration.
tine he is remembered to have
been se’eu. About three o’c 1 ck
yesterday afternoon his friends mis
sed him from the streets and Mr
Luke Anderson made inquiries o
hisjwhereabouts. He learned notl-
ing definite and went to bis room
the door of which was locked, so lie
concluded that Mr. Conyers was ou
somewhere and would re
turn ere night. He was
not to he seen anywhere
late yesterday evening, and Mr.
Anderson, in company with IIenr.<
Poytres aud John Buttlor, again
visited his room, which was stii
locked. They knocked upon the
door but received no reply. After
waiting in silence a few moments
they heard a heavy groaning iu tli
room and without further w itin;
broke tiie door in anil discovered
Mr. Conyers lying upon his bed in a
dying condition. Drs. J. and Win
Starley were immediately summon
ed to his relief, after which Dr
Johnson was called in, who did all
in their power to rescue the unfor
tunate man from the inevitable.
The physicians pronounced the dis
ease congestion ot the brain, which
ended fatally at 12:40.
Mr. Conyers was well known in
the city, having resided here about
fourteen years. He served awhile
about seven or eight years ago on
the city police force and made a
good and faithful officer. He has
no relations in this State, his pa
rents living in Georgia, but he
leaves a host of friends here to
mourn his departure. His parents
were telegraphed of the unfortun
ate affair, but up to the latest ac
counts no reply had been re
ceived.
His remains will be laid to rest
by the Knights of Pythias this af

CALLED AWAY.
The news heralded on our streets
this morning of the very sudden
and unexpected death of Mr. John F.
Conyers was received with univer
sal sorrow, which was only increas
ed when the unfortunate circum
stances under which he passed away
were made known.
Yesterday morning, about seven
o’clock, he was in the Craddock sa

Cigaretts are largely used by boys,
but cigarette smokers, both young
and old, usually regard with skep
ticism the statements made by phy
sicians concerning the evil conse
quences of the habit. The smokers
say that their cigarettes are made
of the “purest Virginia,” but it they
want to know what this “purest
Virginia” is, they should read what
a large manufacturer of tobacco re
cently said to a New York report
er:
“The quantity of drugs used in ci
garettes is appalling” he declared,
“aud the commonest of these is vale
rian and ticture of opium.
“An experienced tobacconist can
detect the presence of valerian by
the smell. The drug imparts a
sweet, soothing effect, that in a lit
tle time obtains a fascinating con
trol over the smoker. The more
cigarettes he smokes the more he
desires to smoke, just as is tlie case
with one who uses opium. The de-
«ire grows into a passion. The
smoker becomes a slave to the en
ervating habit.
“By the uselff drugs it is possi
ble to make a very inferior quality
of tobacco pleasant. They are put
upon tlie market at such a price
that ihe poorest can easily procure
them, and boys go in swarms for
them.”
“What is this Havana flavoring
that is so much used ?”
“It is made frem the tonca bean
which contains a drug called mel-
lolotis, a deadly poison, seven
grains being sufficient to kill a uog.
It has become quite an article of
manufacture of cirgarettes.”
“Does the paper wrapper of a ci
garette add a great deal to its inju
riousness?”
“Certainly. There are three sorts
of paper in common use, made ■ re
spectively from cotton, lrom linen
rags, and from rice straw. Cotton
paper is made chiefly in Trieste,
Austria, and the linen and rice pa
per in Paris.
The first, manufactured from the
filthy scrapings of rag-pickers, is
bought in large quantities by the
manufacturers, who turn it into
pulp, and subject it to a bleeching
process to make it presentable.
The lime and other substances
used in bleeching have a very
harmful influence upon the mem
branes of the throat and nose.
Cotton paper is so cheap that a
thousand cigarettes can be wrapped
at a cost of only two cents. Rice
paper is rather expensive. Tobac-
conized paper is manufactured.
It is a commou paper saturated
with tobacco in such a way as to
imitate the veins of the Tobacco
leaf very nearly. It is used in mak
ing all-tobacco cigarettes. Arseni
cal preparations are also used in
bleaching cigarette papers, and oil
creosete is produced naturally
as a consequence of combination.
