This is the farm upon which the Hardings, father aad son, lived all their lives, and upon which they accumulated a fortune. By purchases the .units of the farm were continually in creased until, at the death of William G.

The fume ot Harding’s horses spread abroad, and tie became a recognized authority on the turf. His stables were always filled with win ners of the fastest records; and his aunu.d : ales were attend' d by horsc-fanciers from all parts of the union, who often paid what seem ed to lie fabulous prices for a lavorite strain. The crowning triumph of his career on Hie turf was when tiro celebrated Iroquois bore off the Derby. Notwithstanding his long career on the turf, and tliiit he was so often the owner of the win ning horse, he never gambled upon the re sult. in early life he had formed the reso lution never to bet. Whi n taunted for his in consistency in being opposed to gambling and still ronwining a patron of the turf, he replied; ‘‘Without the race course the world would never have known of the great powers of Lex ington, the horse that lias contributed more to the improvement of his race than any of his predecessors. I am aware of the prejudices existing against the race course by religionists, generally on account of its immoral tendency. That these prejudices are not altogether groundless, T admit; but that the immoralities of a well regulated race course are greatly luiignilitd by those who know least of its oper atioiis, idifii periecily satisfied: that ii nra ■■ Tfi~ still further improved, f cimicstly d-sirc. For one, 1 advocate liis lire, i rvatii n, and at the same time call upon tlie umr.ili its to unite with mo in the effort to remove nil objectionable features that may attach to the institution so necessary to his development." ‘•Onee,” said he,‘T felt a tremor pa*-; over mo ns I realized tho power of temptation." Ho had entered his favorite mare Gamma against the celebrated horse Magner. The owner of Wagner said to him: “Os course, general, you propose to back your entry. 1 will give vou a better bet than any one else would bo likely to do. I offer you ten thous and dollars against one thousand.’' "1 had the one thousand. I had a special use fur the ten thousand at that very time. Iliad full confi dence that Gamma would win. Feeling the force of the temptation, under excitement, to violate a purpose 1 had deliberately formed to guide my life, 1 turned away, walked a short distance, turned the Question of gain and prin ciple over in iuy tuimt. and turned back arid declined the bet. Gamma won, but I was then and over after, more gratified at my vic tory over the tomptation to bet than of my favorite’s splendid triumph over thy most celebrated racer of the day.” ■ini: m i.t r. mev.ie of to-day. General AN If ,1a dcsoii and Judge Howell E. Jackson married daughters of General Har ding, and liaio thus passed into possession of the splendid estate, which is now under tiro business management of General W. H. Jack sen. A talk with General Jackson elicited much interesting information, and gives some idea of the extent of the farm. “We have now,” said he, “a,300 acres under fence. Ijvirv emt of money made ‘on the farm since INS! has been put back on to it. An agrii iiliuri t should never contemplate the sale of his possessions, but should always work for An increase. We lime completed twenty miles of stone fencing at a cost ol one dollar a yard. Os course, if we contemplated sale, v.e could not get tiial money back. The home and its surround ngs have a value to the fam ily which is settled there, such as it can have to no one else, and the true farmer mu t not count his labor by what he can get for it in market but rather by its added pleasures to home ami home life. 1 have been tn charge of tlm estate sim IS7V. We have added eighty brood mares since and seven thoroughlirod stallions, at a eccst of Ms'i.tioo. The farm is cairied on precisely as it was before the war.

'Nothing is sold off the farms.” continued General Jackson, “except tlmt which walks off on four feet." This is a striking picture of developing an industry until it takes leg.- mid walks off itself "We raise on the farm everything required for eonsumpiiou by the stock. We thus turn over our own profits, and find tliat we uro our own • ■: t tist imers. The remainder of the land is al! m the grazing grasses. The general public sees but little of the farm—generally the blood horses and the deer park. Everything works with such sy stem that all are employed nt all times. The bell rings for rising, for meals, for alarms, and for signals, and the calls are un derstood by all. In agriculture con centrated capital is required to attain the tost results just as much as it is in any oilier calling in life. Where land is dear, as iu the north, the struggle is to make the mo t j>cr acre. Where land is cheap, as it is here, the effort is to make the most per hand. To do this requires central direction ami large numbers of men.” "General, wliat is your idea of the means which should be taken to make small farmers successful ?” "The whole idea of small f irms." replied General Jackson, "is a beautiful fallacy, ft tend ■ to crowd people together,destroys hospi tality and makes them grasping. It is charm ing to look out of a car window, in passing through New England, to see the numerous w hite-paintevl farm houses, but when the cliiliiien grow up the people have to crowd ciosi r together, or else the children have to move abroad.

At last Soprember term of our superior court, judgment was obtained against Mr. John Moore, husband of the famous Mrs. Hal da Moore, for attorney’s fee. A motion for a new trial was defeated, but served to postpone collection till the January sale. Sheriff Scar borough procieded to levy, but desisted in the save of Mrs. Moore's fair promises, and on Monday M rs. Moore came up ostensibly to settle bringing certificates of depositjfrom the nation al band of Athens. She requested Mr. Strick land, plaintiff in the fi. fa. to write a receipt in full, whice he did. She then requested to see both receipt and fi. fa. After scrutenizing them she placed them in her pocket and de parted. The sheriff took out a possessory war ront and followcil. Fair promise again pre vailed. Failing to meet her engagement again the sheriff wont to arrest Mrs. Moore, but found her armed and defiant, threatening mur der if he attempted to enter the house. The sheriff returned without a prisoner. —tor—Saturday thu sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Henry McEwen and Messrs. Hugh Hardeman, Lloyd Brooksand James S. McCurdy went down to arrest under a possessory warrant. On arriving Jim McCurdy went into the kitch en, where Mrs. Moore and her cook were, to s< e if he could not perform the mission peace ably and without force. The woman was fu rious, ami kept the tables between her and McCurdy, levelling her cocked pistol, with fin ger on the trigger, at him frequently. There was no bluff in Jim, and when he saw there was no other chance but to take her by force, lie stepped out and gave the posse the alarm, wherettpon Mr- Moore tumped out and ran through the orchard. As the men pursued her, s’.ie <1 w two pistols, a British bull-dog, 38- calibm'. i enter-fire, double-acting, and a Mar <|.ii I.orno, fil’-caliber, and witli one in each band, leveled them at Scarborough, ib'iuks and Mei'urdy. Brooks and McCurdy rushed toward her from different directions and captured her, she firing the bull-dog through Brooks's hand, doing but. little dam age save burning it. Upon the others rushing up. and in the seutHe, she drew the other pistol on Deputy Shoriff Wash White and snapped, but it failed to tire. Thereby he was saved from deatli. When brought to town she refused to go into any house, or to the fire anywhere, and men crowded about her as she stubbornly stood ami walked back and forth bareheaded on the square, with the coid wind whistling about her. Finally she .’r.a seized by two strong men. ami carried to the lire in Brook's & Williams stere. • While by the fire, she spied a hatchet on the mantel,’.and waited[iintil Jim McCurdy turned his eyes off. when she sprang for the hatchet. Mr. Ben Russell, who saw her ob ject. snatched the hatchet in time to save Mc- Curdy from death. Upon the arrival of Mr. J. E. Sanders, J. F., she objected to his try ing the case. Mr. J. N. Boggs was sent for, when she struck that court also; her gante of bluti was no good, ami she was committed to jail, till she should thi n over the papers to the arresting officer, or have them forthcoming to be dealt with as the law directs. She said she would die before she would give up the papers, Siu l was l arried to tke house*of Dr. Sorrell, awaiting the return of her son. whowent homo to get the papers. Her husbiuid, away in the night, brought the papers, but she forbade him giving them to the arresting party, and bade him hand them to her. She nut them in her pocket and said she would die before she would gii o them up. She got siek, wont into another room at Dr. Sorrell’s and went to bed, and while some guards went away and some' slept mid uniie didn’t guard very closely, site made a h ap for liberty, jumping from a’ window in tlie sleeping room about daybreak, and was tracked across some plowed ground, where she ran barofooted.

SETTLERS STARVING AND FREEZING Lincoln, Neb., December 22. —It is believed that reports of the blizzard sweeping over western Nebraska will show that a number of lives were lost in the storm. Owing to the distance from the railroad of new and more unprotected homesteads and settlers, the facts cannot be known for several days. In the re cently organized county of Pcrkius, the deaph of a man and boy is reported. They were attempting to make their ranche, twenty miles from Ogallala, when tlie storm overpowered them. Both were frozen to death. Another man. named John Grant, who had been on railroad construction work on the Black Hills extension of the Burlington and Missouri River road, was found dead a mile out from camp. On the Arkansas line, no dead has been discovered, although suffering is reported as very severe. DRIVER AND TEAM FROZEN. Chicago, 111., December 22;—A Daily News special from Topeka, Kan., says that Sir. J. It. Hazletine, a banker of Johnson City, on the frontier, is in the city. He reports that a farmer named L. C. Clark, living near Golden, Grant, county, left his family at home Monday to go to Hartland, the nearest railroad point, for the purpose of getting coal, his family be ing entirely without fuel. He left Hartland late Monday evening with his coal and next morning was found about six miles from home lying by the side of his horses frozen stiff. The animals were also frozen and all of the bodies partly covered by snow. Clark’s wife and three children had. in the meantime, 1 nearly peri-hed and had only saved themselves from death by leaving the shell of a house and : taking refuge from tlie blizzard in a cave. Two deaths are reported from Grecly county, I situated on the Colorado line. A brother and sister named Robert and Sarah Holsuapfel, who lived on a : claim in the unsettled portion of the county, i found theinselvcs without fuel. Sunday even- : in'i they tore down a small shed to burn the I lumber’, and that night all but a small amount, which they had themselves burned, was stolen from them. Early in the morning the young man went to the town of Horace, about seven niili-s distant, and succeeded in getting two hundred pounds of coal late in the afternoon. Being obliged to travel against the furious wind then blowing, he did not reach home until nearly midnight. His limbs were then numb and he was so exhausted that it was with great difficulty he gained admission to the house. He FOUND HIS SISTER IN RED INSENSIBLE and almost stiff. She had been without fire all day and the poorly built house afforded her little protection. Although the young man was almost frozen himself, he tried to re vive his sister, but to no avail. The other death reported from Greely county is that of a farmer, sixty years old, whose name cannot be learned. He lived alone and was not with out fuel, but without food. Being a recent settler in the country, he had no acquaintances. A widow named Reilly, and her two chil dren, perished in the storm Monday night, near Dighton, in Lane county. They were without fuel and the storm came so suddenly upon them that they were unable to get it. The woman's oldest son started out in tire storm to get coal. He was cvercoino by the intense cold, but fortunately wandered to the house of a neighbor. He" was unable to speak and his arms, feet and ears were frozen. By strenuous efforts his leg was saved, although he will probably loose his feet. There are also reports of great suffering in Clark county, on the Indian Territory line. A family of four were traveling over land and being but ten miles from home and several miles from any other house, determined to reach home that night in spite of the terrible storm. The horses were overcome and the family were obliged to abandon the horses and wagon and walk miles to the nearest house. A TWO-YEAR-OLD CHILD FROZE TO DEATH in its father’s arms before shelter was reached. The others reached the house badly frozen. The condition of the people in western and southwestern Kansas is very bad. This part of tlie state lias been only recently settled, and some of the counties are still unorganized— nearly all the people settled on government claims and wire without money, depending entirely on tiro crop to be raised this fail. The crops proved a total failure because of the drought, leaving the people destitute. As a general thing the people live in rudely built huts, which afford very little protection. A Daily News special from Topeka, Kansas, says: “The situation in western Kansas has greatly improved during the past twenty-four hours. The weather has moderated and the supply of coal is being increased. Twenty car loads were shipped today from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fc company’s mines hi Col orado. which will be distributed at once to towns most in need of fuel. This, it is believed, will supply the destitute localities for one week, and railroad officials think that by that time thev will be able to supply the demand. Every effort is being made by tho company to get the coal from the mines. THE WORST EVER .INOWN. Wichita, Kan., December 22.—Additional and general details of the results of the recent blizzards were received today, which prove it to have been the worst over known in the state. The number of deaths by freezing and starvation is believed to be at least sixty. 3 Galveston. Texas,December 22.—Freezing weather prevailed here all day, and the city is Covered with a coat of ice. The freezing line extends beyond the Rio Grande somedistance into Mexico. Dispatches to the signal officer hero show that very cold weather prevails throughout the cattle districts of Texas. The thermometer at Fort Elliott, in the Pan Han dle, registered six degrees above zero at eleven o’clock this morning, mid weather of the same degree of cold prevailed at Fort Davis, 190 miles southeast of El Paso. The cattle coun try lies between these points. While there have undoubtedly been isolated cases of death from exposure, and in stances of individual suffering from a scarcity of provisions or coal, there is no doubt that the condition of affairs have been greatly ex aggerated and misrepresented by irresponsible persons. Clark county, Kansas, which has been repre sented as being the region where the most suf fering prevails, semis an emphatic denial of the stories to the Timos tonight through A. L. Cowden, postmaster at Ashland, tho county seat. Mr. Cowden says that the storm waned Tuesday. While there was a strong wind only four inches of snow fell and the thermometer did not go below zero. G arden City, Kas., December 22.—1 n con versation with a representative of eleven coun ties of southwest Kansas, the Sentinel today learned that in those counties there has been no more suffering from the cold snap than is usually experienced by people who are pro vided against such emergencies by clothing, food and fuel. Wichita. Kansas. December 20.—Snow commenced falling here yesterday morning and bus come down steadily ever since. Later in the day a blizzard set in from the north and has hourly increased in violence. Advices are to the effect that the blizzard is general over tho west, and that it has caught the country without any adequate supply of coal. It is known that'railroad companies have from some cause failed to supply the demand on the plains. There is great fear that much suffer ing and distress will result from this sudden change of woathorasit is certain that entire districts are almost entirely without fuel. Bt. I’aul, Minn., December 20. The first genuine blizzard of the season has been raging in Dakota all day—a storm of snow as tine as sand, driven bv a tierce wind and accom panied by very low temperature. At Assanor boiie tho thermometer indicated 28° below at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Huron reports all trains late, and those of the Northwestern road are abandoned entirely. It had been snowing in St. Paul almost all day, and at 10 p. m. is growing cold. FItKKZINO TO DEATH IN KANSAS. Kansas City, December 21.—The Times has telegraphic advices which incicate that there is terrible suffering in the western part of Kansas. Four people are reported dead in Clark county from cold, while near Dighton. Kansas, a woman and her two children are known to have porislied. There is a great suffering iu that section of the state, O’W a scarcity of cool Tho supply was exhausted during the previous cold ".nap in the first part of the month and the situation is now deplora ble. The suffering is augmented bj' the fact that food is almost as scarce as fuel. Many of the inhabitants are settlers who located claims last summer and who are denendent on what the railroads bring in. Tho railroads are try ing do all in their powerto relieve the distress, but they are handicapped by a scarcity of cars. They have not enough to supply the urgent demand for food, fuel and widespread distress is inevitable unless the weather speedily mod erates. The Santafe road has already an nounced that it will ship free all supplies which may bo collected for Clark couuty. THE WORST OF THE SEASON. Minneapolis, December 21.—The storm which started in yesterday, and still continues furiously in Minnesota, is by far the worst of the season. The wind is strong and the snow drifted badly. The storm was general in the northwest. It was accompanied by very cold weather Jin Dakota and northwest territory, the lowest point reached being 28° below zero at Fort Assinaboine. At o o'clock yesterday, it had stopped at all points in Dakota except Bismarck, and was moving east. THE BLIZZARD IN CHICAGO, Chicago, December 21.—The rain, mud and slush which yesterday afternoon made life in Chicago a burden, gave place during the night to a cold wave from the northwest. It came with a rush and inside of twelve hours there was a drop of 35° in temperature. The signal service reports the thermometer at 5° above in the early morning hours: at 0 o'clock it was Iff 3 above, but, though at 10 o’clock the sun shone brightly, the rays had but a slight warming effect. At 6 o'clock this morning Fort Toiten, Dakota, reported the tempera ture at 20° below; at Denver it was 14° below, and at Montrose 20° below. Away down at Fort Davis, Texas, the inhabitants were revel ling in the novel luxuiy of a snow storm; and at San Francisco the thermofneter stood at 26° above. SUFFERING IN TEXAS. Galveston, Tex., December 21.—Specials to the News from all important points in Texas report very cold weather from this sec tion. Ice formed hero last Hight and also at Corpus Christi, Brownsville and Rio Grande City. In northern Texas tho weather is very severe and snow has fallen at many points. It is too early yet to ascertain the extent of suffer ing and loss' to the cattle and sheep interests but if the severe weather continues many day, it will be very great.. Heavy Snowfall. Columbus, Miss., December 24.—1 t has been snowing here all the afternoon, the heaviest snowfall ever seen in this section. Fort Worth, Texas, December 2*.—Re ports from Pan Handle show that eigiit per sons were frozen to death tn Carson county during the recent cold spell. Alexandria, La., December 24.—1 t has been snowing here all afternoon. In some places the snow is from six to eight inches deep, the heaviest snowfall in this section for mally years. Stories of Suffering in the West Greatly Exaggerated. Topeka, Kansas, December 24.—1 t would seein from every information obtained at this point that the report of suffering in westcrlr Kansas lias been exaggerated. There have actually been two deaths in Kansas and two in Nebraska, and these have been reported to make a scare. Crops in western Kansas have been poor, and a great majority of settlershave been there but a short time and are poor; but they are not in a starving condition by any means. A large portion are comfortably housed in dugouts and have laid in a supply of cow chips for the winter, which will keep them from suffering. The weather is moderating, ths thermometer ranging from forty to sixty degrees above zero. BRIEF AND BREEZY. A Chinese woman lias given birth to triplets —girls. In China when triplets are boys their heads are chopped off in obedience to an old superstition which says that a tree-ply boy will one- day invade the empire.

Ke Is only an occasional contributor, but writes well.” Tho fortune of Dr. Evans, the Parisian- Am a lean dentist, is estimated at about 813,000,000. His magnificent residence is stored with valuables, the least precious of which is a collection of souve nirs which'he has received at different times from his titled patients. In connection with his home is an extensive aviary, in which are hundreds of lare and bright-plumaged birds. His stable-, too, are large and well stocked, and his library is one of the finest private libraries in Paris. He owns two news papers. Two young ladies, named respectively Bur roughs and Springer, in a town in West Virginia, each carried a keg of powder out of a 1 .uming build ing recently, although the kegs were so hot that wet cloths had to be wrapped around them in order to hold them without burning the hands. This was an heroic act. They then went back to rescue a chappie who would not come out of the building in a pair of tan-colored gaiters for fear it might excite. remark. While the girls were reaching under the bed for him, one of them got her hand on a mouse and fainted. All were rescued by a hook-ancl-ladder company. Woman is a strange contradiction of heroism, cowardice and clothes. Count Vou Moltke is reported to have said recently: “In my youth it was j redicted that I should take part in three great wars. 1 have taken part iu two.” Fourteen years ago a bottle of milk placed in a well at Owensboro, Ky., to cocl, fell into the water. The other day the well was cleaned, and under about six feet of mud was found the bottle, and the milk within was apparently as sweet and good as the day it was put in.

If we were in ths shoes of that youth we should accept the challenge, merely in sisting on the obvious right of a selection of weap ons. And, the Lord helping us, we shouldn’t be squeezed to death in the dreadful struggle. There are now erected on tho Gettysburg battle field ninety regimental monuments, Massa chusetts having thirty, including all her regiments and batteries that took part in the battle; Pennsyl vania, twenty-eight; Connecticut, four; New Hamp shire, three; ilhode Island, four; Indiana, six; Dela ware, three; New York, two. A distillery in Rappahannock county, Vir ginia, has tempted twelve stands of bees from the path of homy and wax and made confirmed inebri ates of them. Before the distillery was started their owner, a woman, found the bees very profitable, but their periodical visits to the still have made them comparatively worthless. Miss Eva May Smith, a seven-year-old girl, provided with a through ticket, a traveling bag and a lunch basket, left Pensacola, Fla., and has arrived safely at York, Pa. She traveled the whole distance, more than twelve hundred miles, alone. Her mother having died, her father took that mode of sending her to her relatives iu Pennsylvania. George Stephenson s perpetual motion machine consists of a wooden wheel, the periphery of which was furnished with glass tubes filled with quicksilver, and as the wheel rotated the quick silver poured itself down into the lower tubes, and thus a sort of self acting motion was kept up in the apparatus. . ‘•Fire-proof Taper May be .Made,” savs a scientific exchange, “from a pulp, con sisting of one part vegetable fibre, two parts asbestos, one-tenth part torax, and one-fifth part alum.” It is a pity that such facts as the one following cannot be written, printed or otherwise preserved, upon some sort of inde structible paper. “My wife suffered seven years and was bed-ridden, too,” saldW.
