TELEGRAPH MATTERS.
Combination of Cable Companion—Novel
Proposition of a Telegraph llroiln-ibond.
A consolidation of the telegraph inter¬
ests of the cubic companies is contem¬
plated. Mr. Mackay’s friends are now
said to be working on a scheme by which
the independent telegraph lines will be
managed by a new company, and Mr.
Gould is supposed to have arranged details
of this matter at the meeting held with
Mr. Garrett, and the details of the consoli¬
dation will probably be made between
Garrett and Muck ay as soon as Garrett ar¬
rives in Europe. He says that he does
not think the cable war can last a great
deal longer, and that whenever a settle¬
ment is made, the Commercial Cable will
faithfully carry out its guarantee to the
public. It is sta'ed that the Brotherhood
of have Telegraphers of the United States
Baltimore made a proposition to purchase the
& Ohio Telegraph Company.
The sum they offer is $3,000,000. Tins
is said to be exactly the amount offered
by Mr. Gould. The brotherhood offer
to pay $500,000 cash on the acceptance
of their proposition, and to pay the re¬
maining $2,500,000 at the end of six
months. This large sum it is proposed
to raise by assessing each member of
the brotherhood $50 per month for
six months, There arc 21,000 members,
and the leaders among them entertain no
doubt of their ability to raise the sum
required

Had the president of the United States
walked into tho office of the Yalderi ilt
House, at Syracuse, N. Y., when he was
there, mid written on the virgin page of
the register the autograph, “0. C. ! 1 u ks.
Philadelphia,"’ people familiar with the
personal appearance of Grover Cleveland
could not have been more surprised than
three or four, gentlemen this were absolutely to see a i
incident so like as to be
startling. The peculiar expression which
Mr. Cleveland wears in his eyes, as if
they were being blinded by the sun, is
Mr. Hicks’ to a dot, as is the rather mot¬
tled complexion of the fact- Mr. Hicks
lias a thousand tunes been told of the
likeness he bears, and was once iutro
duced to the President at Waffiington as
his double. Still more unusual is the
fact that Mr. Hicks’ handwriting is so
nearly like the President’athat one would
be a forgery of the other. It is a small
and nervous hand, almost femiuine in its
characteristics, and in letters, like the
capital C’s is a close copy.

With a full supply of fruit, every

Light and air are as necessary to horses
as they are to human beings. window Every
stable should havo at least one
and some means of ventilation, above the
horse’s head, so that he should never bo
in a draft, which is always injurious, bo
the weather ever so warm, especially if
he comes home heated a f tcr a long jour
ney or hard pull.
Heat, moisture, and, to some extent,
dose contact with the soil, are essential
to a good germination of seed. If the
seed is of good vitality they may germi
nate even when the conditions are un
favorable, yet this does not by any means
prove that as vigorous a plant was had se
cured as if the essential condition
been more closely secured,
Many a farmer spends an hour in trying
to catch his horse, coaxing and cornering
him, and as he gets the halter on the
horse lashing him soundly with the shank
to veut his spleen, perhaps thinking that
the horse would understand the punish
meat to be because he refused to bo
caught, when the horse really understands
it to be a punishment for allowing him
self to be caught, and on the next being occa¬
sion will make an effort to avoid
caught, in order to escape the punish¬
ment.
Nearly all kinds of fruit, and many
vegetables, can be evaporated to good is
advantage, and the field of operation that
considerably more extensive than
. compassed by the drying method. All
the evaporation process does is to draw
out the surplus moisture, and when the
fruit is used on the table this mois¬
ture can be easily restored, and thus the
consumer has a welcome substitute foi
the genuine article when it cannot beob
tained, and it often is very hard to tell
