"He :3 too young to; see things in their just proportion As he grow: older he may understand that it is: not always very discreet for a subaltern ofl cavalry to give such very abrupt refusals."l I did no: know what to say to this. but. Lass le came to my aid in his down-righti fashion. 3 “The lad is quite right," said be. “If! I had known that there was a promise I should not have questioned him. You know very well, Monsieur de Talieyrand, that if he had anevvered you, you would have laughed in your sleeve and thought. as much about him as I think of the bottle when the burgundy is gone. As for me, I promise you that the Tenth would have had no room for him. and that we should have lost our best swordsman if I had heard him give up the Emperor's secret." But the statesman became only the more bitter when he saw that I had the support of my Colonel. "I have heard. Colonel de Lasalle,” said be, thh an icy dignity,“that your opinion is of great weight upon the subject of light cavalry. Should I have occasion to seek information about that branch of the army,I shall be very happytoapply to you. At present, however, the matter concerns diplomacy, and you will permit me to form my own _views upon that question. As long as the welfare of France and the safety of the Emperor’s person are largely committed to my care, I Will use every meansin my power to secure them, even if it should be against the‘ Emperor’s own temporary wishes. I have the honour, Colonel de Lasalle, to wish you a very good-day !" He shot a most unainlable glance in my direction, and, turning upon his heel, he walked with little, quick, noiseless steps out of the room. I could see from Lasalie’s face that he did] not at all relish finding hinisef at enmity! with the powerful Minister. He rapped. out an 0th or two, and then. catching up his sabre and his cap, he cluttered away down the stairs. As I looked out of the window I saw the two of them, the big blue man and the little black one, going up the street together. Talley- rand was walking very rigidly, and Lasalle was waving his hands and talking, so .I suppose that he was trying to make his peace. . The Emperor had told me not to think, and I endeavored to obey him. I took up the cards from the table where Murat had left them, and I tried to work out a few coinliinat‘ons at ecarte. But I could not remember which were trumps, and I threw them under the table in despair. Tneu I drew my sal-re and practised giving point until i was weary, but it was all of no use ('ro BF. ccsrisrsn.) My first thought was that he would be " ' angry With me for having kept him wot, A NATIVE DANCE AT BULUWAYO. z log, out as I approached him, we heard the big church clock of Fontainebleau clan-.1 out the hour often. It was evident, therefore, that. it was he who was too soon and not I too late. I remembered his order that I should make no remark, so contented myself with halting within four pa-‘cs of him, clicking my spurs together, grounding my sabre, and saluting. He glanced at me, and then without a word he turned and walked slowly through the forest, I keeping always about the same distance behind him. (‘lnce or twice he seerned to me to look apprehensively to right and to left, as if he feared that some- one was observing us. I looked also, but although I have keenest sight, it was quite impossible to see anything except the ragged patches of moonshine between the great black shadows of the trees. My ears are as quick as my eyes, and once or twice I thought I heard a twig crack; but you know how many sounds there are in a forest at night, and how difficult it is even to say what direction they come from. We walked for rather more than a mile, and I knew exactly what our destination was, long before we got there. In the centre Description of Some African Terpslchor- can Orgies. A correspondent in South Africa writes describing avisit he paid to Bulawayo. During his stay in that town the native commissioner, Mr. J. Colenbrander, sent- an invitation to the various adjoining chiefs to bring in their men and hold a big dance in his compound, near this town, for the benefit of the ladies and other visitors. Owing to the shortness of the notice, and the fact that smallpox was raging among many of the kraals, only a few came in; but enough were present, including women and girlsâ€"to give an idea of what a native dance was like. When all was ready first came two splendidly made Matabele warriors, of pure blood, dressed up fully in war of one of the glides [here is the shattered costume, with ostrich feather headdreises and shoulder capes, skin waist dresses, stump of what must at some time have been ‘ _ . ‘ - armlets and legiets, shield, assegats and a most gigantic tree.

THE FARM. \\\\\\*\.\\\\.\\ Fall Seeding for Feature The early drought that has prevailed over many sections and the failure of clover and grass seed sown has placed many farmers in seriously close places as regards short in amount of pasture and has failed to get a stand from last fall and spring's, seeding is doing some solid thinking audl planning as to how he shall prevent a simi- lar occurrence next year and come out without too serious a loss. In many sec~ tions Timothy is sown as the pasture and hay crop, other grasses being indigenous to; some extent, blue grass and red top Where these latter do not come in natural- ly, Timothy is often the Whole dependence. Without special care, top dressing with manure or other fertilizers, it will get, poorer every year. If clover is sown with it the period of usefulness of the Timothy will be prolonged as it feeds on the nitrogen deposited by the clover. Fields that the farmer intended to plow next spring will have to be hold another year for pasture. Possibly they were poor this year, and will be less valuable next year without help of some kind to improve them. And many fields used as permanent pastures under dry weather conditions have shown sparse plats where it is naturally expected to find the best pasture. These pastures can be much improved by cutting up these spots where the grass has failed or is very thin With a disc machine of some pattern, working till a good seed bed is secured with the use of a drag harrow or roller. W'hen the land is in prime order a light seeding of rye, three peeks or one bushel per acre, should be sown as soon as possible, and under favorable weather con- ditions will give a fair amount of pasture this fall. When cooler weather comes, the usual time for fall seeding to Timothy, at least four quarts of Timothy seed per acre should be sown. This will be sufficient quantity of Timothy if itis to be followed with other grasses, blue grass red top, and orchard grass. Such of these are suited to the locality and use for which it is desired. Blue grass naturally belongs to limestone soils, but will do well in the prairie soils of the west. It does well sown with Timothy late in the fall at the rate of one bushel per acre. One advantage in sowing rye as a protecting crop, it gives a quicker growth to forage than anything else that can be sown at this time oi the year. The stock grazing the rye any time that the land is in condition for them to go on it will not injure the young Timothy ; and the blue grass, as it is slow to start, willcome on by the time the Timothy begins to fall. Many places in pastures where the land is spouty or wet, red top will thrive better than Timothy or blue grass. In fact the first places that Timothy fails in our fields are these Wet spots. It will thrive well if sown with Timothy in rye as a protecting ' crop. Blue grass or red top would doubt- at all.

And, if all went well, this would surely be the fouuda-l :ion of my fortunes. Thus, swaying between my fears and my hopes, I spent the long, long evoning until it was time for me to keep my appointment. Iput on my military overcoat, as I didl not know how much of the nightl might have to spend in the Woods, and I :‘as:cned_ my sword outside it.

Then I stole out of my quarters and made for the forest. feeling very much easier in my mind, for I am always at my best when the time .of thought has passed and the momâ€"nt for action arrived.

While it is claimed that it will not do to sow clover and blue grass together,it isa fact that blue grass thrives best with some leguminous plant to feed the soil. Orchard grass can also be sown in fall in connection with other grasses mentioned. It needs to be sown on well prepared soil and lightly covered. We often fall in at- tempted combinations for pasture, because we are not careful enough about seeding and not using varieties suited to the soil. Nature does not leave us entirely without resources if we have the wisdom to avail ourselves of that within reach. Watering Horses. An English veterinarian writing to the London Live Stock Journal, says: " Pre- judice dies hard, but the hardest of all to die in the minds of grooms is that it is injurious to give a horse a drink of cold water when he is heated from exercise: Years ago, when I used to train horses for racing in India, I grappled with this prejudice, and clung to it with such tens city that I used constantly to have horses ‘ ofi’ their feed after a strong gallopc One day I returned to the mcsshouse very hot and very tired aftera long run, and suddenly thought fit to mentally put my- self in the place of a race horse. ‘ Shall I have,’ I asked myself, ‘ a better appetite for breakfast if I refrain from drinking till I have cooled off or if I have a drink right off?‘ Knowing that I could not eat hearti- ly unless I had first of all a drink, I took it, and thereupon felt so fit to eat, and went so strong over a course of beefsteak, ham and eggs, quail, muffins, ctc., thatl resolved to try the same treatment on my horses. My lead was attained with such success that nowadays all the trainers in India give their race horses about half a bucket of cold water to drink immediately after a gallop, and with the best roaults as regards the appetites and health. I have. not alone never seen, but have never even heard or read of any harm to a horse from drinking cold water when he was heated. i I have, however, seen hundreds of cases of 1 colic occur in horses from drinking water after being fed on OCCISIODB when they had, 1 previous to eating been deprived of water for some time. Were all grooms to follow my advice as to watering, I am afraid that, many an honest and hardworking veter- inary surgeon would find his income from colic cases seriously diminished.” Poultry Notes. The best poultry keeper is a woman ; she has more patience and a better knack for the details of the business : but when this duty is left to the wife lend a hand Atl the hard work,for there is hard work about it. Disease and disaster are reasonably sure to follow when foods, particularly soft | stufl’s, are thrown down among the dirt and I filth of the floor. It soon soon, and itl absorbs a portion of the surrounding filth ; l on general principles it is a bad practice. l A well bred foul will lay more eggeii pasture.

Grade up your stock with good males, at least, and I} have a better lot of chickens in the next _, generation. zl Sharp grit, meat scraps and green food I must be included in the diet of all poultry 'lcoutined to runs. Without these articles I hens cannot make eggs. Feed all scraps to the fowls while they are strictly fresh; The Embdeu, with its white feathers, and the Toulouse, with its gray, are per- haps the best breeds of geese. The former will often dress at from twolve to fourteen pounds, while a pair of the Toulouse have now and then reached the enormous weight of sixty pounds. These are rather too heavy for market. Geese are more hardy and much less trouble than chickens and turkeys,and the profits are very much larger. During the summer all they need is a good pasture. They begin laying when a yr or old and lay tEom thirty to forty eggs in the season. '1nree geese are enough for the company of one gander. During the rapid growth of wing feathers and other plumage when about two or three Weeks old is a dangerous period for wee chickens ; but a more risky time comes four or five months later, when the young {owls are changing their costs. A great draught seems to be made upon the con- stitution, and this must be met with nourishing foods. â€".-â€"â€"â€" POISONED YOUNG PITEZEL. Gave the Boy Cyanide ofPotasslumâ€"Peot or the Victim Unearthed Partially Burned. A despatch from Indianapolis, Ind.. says :â€"The coroner’s jury has brought in a verdict that the remain of the body found in the chimney hole of the house at Irvingtou are the remains of young Howard Pitezel, and that he came to his death through the instrumentality of cyanide o potassium administered by H. H. Holmes' Interesting testimony was given by Drug- gists Navin and Perry. John Navin said that Holmes visited his store frequently during the first week of October. Several times he purchased a solution of cocaine, and one time called for four grains of morphine, dissolved in a two-drachm vial of water. Dr. Navin readily recognized him by the photograph. Druggist Perry sold Holmes at one time a pound of chloro- form. This was on Oct. 2. Holmes several times lounged about his drug store, ac- companied by a little boy, wl om he said was his son, and for whom he bought can- dles. As recognized by the photograph, the boy was little Howard. Dentists and doctors also contributed to the evidence that the remains were those of young Pitezel. THE BONES AND THE TEETH. Drs. Thompson and llaruhill cleaned up some of the bones found. The lower part of the intestines and stomach, with parts of the liver and spleen, were found ; also the first vertebrae at the base of the skull, the Adam’s apple and the cheek bones. The physicians say there is no doubt that those are the remains of a boy the age of Howard Pitezel. In the charred mass that was pulled otit of the chimney hole 15 teeth were found. Dr. J. Q. Byram, adentist, sorted the teeth and found seven upper and eight lower teeth. He set these in imita- tion jaws of plaster paris, and they were put away in the box that went to the coroner, where was also found a piece of the lower left jawbone containing the soo- kets of a six-year-old molar. HO\V IT IS SUPPOSED HE DID IT. The physicians are of the opinion that Holmes gave the boy cyanide of potassium and while he was under the influence doub- led the body up and put it into the stove, after which he covered it with cobs, pieces of the trunk and chunks of wood. Then he saturated the pile with coal oil and re- duced everything, as be supposed. to ashes. After the body was destroyed and the stove cooled down, he shovelled the ashes into the stove hole. The stove was in the kitchen, and Holmes was not aware that there was an opening in the fine in the cellar beneath where the sto ve stood. It was failure to find this opening that brought about the discovery of the charred remains. Boys digging under the Holmes house, in an unfinished ortlon of the cellar found the two feet of oward Pitezel. They had been burned, but not destroyed, and were evidently too bulky to putinto the chimney hole. Three Hundred Persons Killed.
