Horses for the Farm.
It is with horses as with men, says the
American Cultivator. Large size and
great weight do not always indicate the
| )OH8ession of the greatest strength,much
less of that more important quality, eu
durance. When our civil war broke out
army surgeons were often surprised to
find that many soldiers of apparently ex
cedent physique, large, hearty and
strong, hardships broko down early under the
of the march, while others
that at first seemed more frail toughened
under exposure, and rallied quickly
when in hospital from wounds. We are
told that “the spirit of a man will bus
tain his infirmities; but a wounded spirit
who can bear'” tie is no clear-sighted
lover of the hoiso who does not see some

If we hear occasionally ot neglected or

always easy to show that they owe their
success to some straiu of blood further

Washington's Death and Obsequies,
After Washington’s retirement to
Mount Vernon he busied himself with
his farming interests, and during the
last few weeks of his life he was occu
heeaid at the t.me, “Uto have all theie
c ° ncerns in such a clear and distinct
form that no reproach can attach itself
to me when j have taken my departure
for the land of spirits.” This system of
farm management was intended for his
overseers. It was written out on thirty
folio pages, and completed December 10,
1790.
The Washington next day there was mud and rain,
and noted in his diary that
the at night there was a large circle round
, moon. The morning of the 12th
was overcast. That morning he wrote

round of his farms. Soon after noou it
began to Notwithstanding snow, and then turned to a cold
rain. the inclemency
of the weather he continued to ride on,
and did not return to his house until
after 3. Wh^n his secretary, Mr. Lear,
expressed the fear that he was wet, he
! answered no, his great coat had kept him
dry, and sat down to dinner without
changing The night his dress,
was a very stormy one, and
the next morning he complained of a
sore throat. In the eveniug he was
hoarse, but in spite of his hoarseness lie
occasionally read pas-ages aloud to his
secretary and Mrs. Washington from the
newspapers which had been brought in
from the posto.lice. When urged to take
some medicine before retiring he replied:
“No: you know I never take" anthing for
a cold. Let it go ns it came.”
That night he became extremely ill—
he had a severe chill and experienced
much diiliculty in breath ng. But he
would notallow the household to be dis
turbed until morning. Then a gargle
was prepared for his throat, but in the
attempt to apply it he was almost suffo
cated. A servant was dispatched to Al
exnndria for Dr. Craik, and in the mean
time he was bled by one of his ovei seers,
Dr. < raik arrived about nine o'ciock and
later in the day two other physicians were
called. All the efforts of the doctors to
relieve him were unavailing, and between
ten and eleven o'clock that, night he died,
Mrs. Washington sat at the foot of the
foot of the bed watching him when his
spirit asked, passed away. “Is he gone?” she
in a calm tone. Dr. Craik was
unable to speak, but held up his hand
» s a signal that Washington was dead,
“It is well,” said the grand old dame.
“All is now over. I shall soon follow
him.” Washington expired without a
struggle or a sigh. From the fir>t he be
lieved the attack would prove fatal and
during the day frequently gave ex pres¬
8 ' 0n to the feeling or resignation with
which he met his end.
The r< mains of the Father of his
Country were buried in the family vault
at Mount Vernon on the 18th of Decem¬
ber. The rubbish had been cleared away
from the entrance to the tomb and a door
made to close the vault, which before
had been closed with brick. A schooner
was placed in the river to fire minute
guns and there were eleven pieces of can
non in the funeral procession, which be
gau to move about three o’clock. The

"Do you know,” laid a vroamspt
member of the bar the other day, ae hi
watched Senator William Maxwell
Evarts sauntering along through fha
street, “that the Senator's first large fee
as niary a lawyer benefit!” didn’t do him a bit of pecu¬
The reporter didn't know it.
“Well, it’s rather a good story,” the
lawyer said, “and as few lawyers even
remember it, it can be told without any
fear of the chestnut annunciator. The
incident occurred in 1842, when Evarts
was only 24 yean old, and a slim young
lawyer with his an old-fashioned choker ool
lar, and interrogative forefinger just
beginning to be a noticeable part of his
practice. He was tyien a criminal prac¬
titioner, and giving glimpses of that pe¬
culiar mastery of sentences of all sizes
which has kept pace with the effective
use of his forefinger.
“Monroe Edwards, a very skillful and
conscientious penman had forged a check,
got caught, and hired young Evarts to
save him from Sing Sing. The trial
came on on June 0, and lasted six days.
The future Senator stabbed at witness
after witness with his deadly forefinger
interrogatories, and finally appealed to
the jury for his clients acquittal. It was
a marvelous speech, full of fire and im¬
petuosity the talk of youthful enthusiasm. It
was of the courts for months,
and liam undoubtedly Maxwell's laid the basis of Wil¬
fame as an advocate.
But the jury freed itself from the glit¬
tering heap of brilliant sentences that
young Evarts -piled up on them, and
found Edwards guilty. The Judge com¬
plimented Sing Evarts, and then sent Ms
client to Sing for ten years. The
prisoner complimented and just Evarts on his elo¬
quence, too, before he walked
into the Sheriff’s carriage to go to the
Sing Sing train gave the tall young law¬
yer a well-known neat check, bearing the signature
of a man. It was for seve¬
ral hundred dollars, and William Max¬
well went proudly to the bank with it
after he had bade his client good-by.
“ ‘No good,’ said the bank cashier,
when Evarts handed it up for deposit.
well “ ‘Why!’ cried young William Max¬
in amazement.
“ The signature is a forgery, sir,’ the
cashier responded.
“It is related that this was the only
occasion in his lifetime that, given a
chance to use some vigorous and impres¬
sive sentences, William Maxwell Evarts
let the opportunity slip. He simply
stare 1 at the check in silence.”
Keeping Sheep or Cows.
In considering the profit derived from
keeping cows or sheep, says Farmer
into Stewart, many and, things have to be taken
account, first of all the ability
of the farmer to manage either. Gener¬
ally speaking, one branch of business is
profitable well managed. aa another dairy if both are equally
A of cows used
for making butter which sells for 18 to
20 cents per pound may be made very
profitable in the if right the right kind of cows are
ke pt way. If 200 pounds
of butter are made yearly from each cow
it gives $40 yearly income, and the
skimmed milk would make at least $1$
worth of pork and rear a calf worth $5.
This gives $55 as the yearly income from
a cow. By good management a cow can
be kept on three acres of land, and by
soiling on one acre or a little more. For
100 acres, then, an income of $1,600
should be made, which would leave •
very good profit, as other crops could
be grown to pay all the cost of laboi
and purchased food. On 100 acres 300
sheep would should should be kept, and each sheep
or bring in $1.50 foi
wool and $3 for a lamb. This would
give an income of $1,350 from the Hock
and the grain raised would pay all ex¬
penses. Less labor would be required
than for the cows This seems to show
that on equal conditions thc cows would
bring in the m st money and profit, and
if choice cows were kept which would
make 300 pounds of butter yearly and
the butter could be sold for 30 or 40
cents a $25 pound, and the heifer calves be
worth each, all of which is possible,
the profit of the dairy would be fai
greater than from the flock oi sheep.
A Mean Man.
The Philadelphia Neva says: Old Billy
W. was one of the richest men who lived
some fifteen yenrs ago, in that part oi
West Philadelphia called Mantua, and
one of the meanest men who ever drew
breath. One day he took a Lancastei
Avenuo car for the city, carrying in hit
hand a basket of sup rb white grapes,
raised in his own greenhouse. Old Billy
W. sat in one corner of the car and a
poor mother with a sickly child in hei
lap sat in the corner opposite. Th«
child looked at the grapes wistfully, at
the car rolled on, square after square.
At last the old man in a tone of rasping
curiosity asked the child where she wai
going.
“To the park, sir, to see the grass and
thc birds.”
“Do you like grapes?”
“Yes, sir,” and the pale little face
brightened up as the child half rose
from her mother's lap.
The old man lifted up his basket of
luscious fruit and plucking one grape
from child. a gigantic bunch, gave it to the
1 he rest of the passengers said noth¬
ing, ’ ut the way they locked at the old
man would have split a stone post.
At a Christmas tree at one of the col¬
ored churches in Elberton, Ga., as but
few of the mem! ers could read or write,
they selected a girl who had been to
school to write the names on the pres¬
ents. When they were distributed and
the names called out, the assembly waa
greatly surprised and to find valuable that all the
handsomest most presents
had on them the name of the girl that
did the writing. An indignation meet¬
ing was held, and a redistribution was
had.
Archdeacon Farrar tays that “inIndia
the English have made one hundred
drunkards for one Christian.”
