Wire rope must not be coiled or un-
coiled like hemp rope. When mounted
on a reel the latter should be turned
on a spindle to pay off the rope.
When forwarded in a coil without
reel roll it over the ground like a
wheel and run off the rope in that
way. All untwisting must be
avoided.

It is a Dractice among gardeners
when lepotting plants to pack the
earth very tightly about the roots.
The gardener's reason for this is the
fact that a loose soil acts as a sponge
to retain too much water while
very compact soil will hold little more
than the plant needs. This is a wise
precaution to guard against over
watering.
Every one will acknowledge a rat

the soil cause the unhealthy condi-

and wash away the acids. He applied
water heated to 14o degrees with very
beneficial results. He first loosened
the earth a little and then poured on
the water until it ran through the

s Feeding Vnir Chickens.
Fanny Field .-"ays on this subject:
We begin V1 iuird boiled eggs
and stale bread utoi-tened with milk.
After a few days of this we feed
cooked oatmeal corn meal and cooked
J)otatoea and as s on as they can swal-
ow the grains cracked corn and
wheat. We f eed every two hours for
the first week and afterwards five
times a day. The early chicks that
are kept indoors are supplied with
gravel and green food and all our
chicks early and late have all the
milk they can drink'. Occasionally
we give a little cooked meat but with
the milk it is not absolutely necessary.
All the food is slightly seasoned with
salt and an occasional dose of pepper
in the food will tend to prevent gapes.
Twice a week we lend bone meal at
the rate of a heaping tablespoonful
to a pint of cooked food.
"The coop for young chickens must
be dry free from vermin and should
often be moved to a fresh spot of
ground." Indiana Farmer.
A breeding stallion should be
kept in perfect health. No animal
can be kept in health without exer-
cise. Plenty of sound good food
should lie given equal to ten to six-
teen quarts of oats per day depend-
ing upon his size and exercise and
about what hay ho will eat up clean.
.... He should have some work twice a
day morning and evening not so
much as to make him dull for he
: should always be spirited and lively.
Driving him to a buggy exercising
him on horseback and doing any ;
little jobs of light work will make
him all th stronger; once or twice a
- week before a light wagon he can be
allowed to trot at full speed if
he feels like it a quarter or a half
' mile and feel all the better for it
and be more likely to impart speed lo
his progeny. If he has a lot of half
an acre or less with a high fence
around it so he can be turned in and
cannot get out it will be beneficial to
' him for then he can get the pure air
and the warm sunshine and roll and
plunge and play as he pleases.
There is no greater evil in breeding
horses than to keep a stallion in his
stall without exercise. He is general-
ly fed high and gets fat his muscular
organization gets no exercise or devel-
opment and his progeny will be far
inferior to what it would have been
had he had proper exercise. (Jole-

The Trotters in Kentucky.
A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia press writes from Lexington
Ky.: It is curious to see with what
care trotting horses are bred. The
mares are not only selected for their
good strains of blood but for their
action temper and perfect health.
The same care is bestowed upon the
stallions and they cross the blood to
correct defects that might be found
by experience to be in either dam or
sire.
n If I recall history aright the real
begiuning of the trotting horse inter-
est in Kentucky was about 1854 wjn
Edwin Thome of Philadelphia
brought down old Mambrino Chief
and gave him to James B. Clay son
of Henry Clay who succeeded to the
--Ashland estate after the death of his
"T father.- This old horse and his son
have left their impress upon the trot-
ting horse of the country more indel-
ibly than any other except Rysdyk's
Hamiltonian and his sons. Pilot J r
and his sons have also shown welL
These three strains of blood are re-
garded as the best and are the favor-
ites m fact are almost the only ones
to be found here. The Kentuckians
claim with much show of truth that
T none of these horses however
showed themselves to be great sires
ot trotters while they remained at
the Xorth and they have only been
improved by coming into this better
climate and crossing with the warm
5 bio d of thoroughbred mares. They
i also claim that the requisite speed
and endurance have been imparted to
the rather loggy trotter from the
Xorth by introducing the fine and
wanner blood of the thoroughbred.
The favorite strain now is the top-
cros of Hambletonians' Mambrino
or P; I t JrM on a thoroughbred foun-
i.itioi. about two degrees removed.
" T;i - of George Wilkes who was
bv r.'.sdyk'a Ha.niltonian are most
u: i lor and a colt carrying the
j;U blood is called "giit-ftl'ged"
and can be sold for a great deal more
money than a colt of. any otner
strain. It is curious to see h ow care-
fully and closely thevalueof colts and
horses are estimated according to
pedigree and when a horse is shown
the first thing the owner is expected
to do is to furnish the evidence of his
breeding several removes back.
It is one ot the interesting teatures
of a visit to a breeding establishment
to sen the business-like manner in
which the proprietor shows his stock.
Each colt or horse is led out by a
groom and stood for a moment in the
most auvantageous position wnentne
owner gives his pedigree in both sire
and dam's side. He is then moved up
and down to alow his action and all
his points and performances given in
great detail. The price is then named
the colt is returned to the stall and
others brought out in succession until
everything in the stable has been
shown. A cigar and a drink of such
Bourbon as cannot be found elsewhere
is tnen usually offered and the pro
prietor walks away to wait upon
another visitor for people are coming
and going to these establishments al
most constantly.
It would be out of the question to
give anything like a close estimate of
the value of the horse industry in this
part of Kentucky but there are many
farms having several hundred thou-
sand dollars' worth of blooded horses
of one kind or another and almost
every tarmer has several thousand
dollars in horse-flesh so it must run
into a fabulous amount when you
contemplate how thickly settled this
region is by horses of great price and
how little space is needed to raise
horses worth many thousands of dol
lars. Calling to mind the tact that
directly or indirectly nearly every
horse of note on the American turf
has had his origin in this region it is
but fair to admit what every Ken-
tuc ian claims that this is the natu
ral home of the American race horse.
and he points to Lexington Foxhall
Ten liroeck Longfellow and to a host
of other great thoroughbreds and to
Maud H. as a trotter to prove the
claim.
Care of Sheep.
The care of even a small tlock of
sheep throughout the year to have
them always proutaDie is a study
that any man who attempts to raise
sheep at all should give his attention.
It is not enough as very many men
do who have a laudable desire to im
prove their sheep as well as other
stock to make purchase of something
exceedingly good at round prices and
then bring" the animals home to be
treated with neglect. Such a farmer
will find in a few years perhaps it may
take only a few months to convince
him to his own satisfaction at least
that this fine stock is all a humbug
and that in making the purchase he
was badly swindled. If that man
however gets any ottspring from
these improved rams or other stccX?
and it is eventually sola in market-
able condition the convincing proof to
the end will be that the jjovh! blood
has had its ettect.
One of the best influences that the
introduction of fine stock on the farm
has is that it brings witn it usually
better rare and improved methods of
handling. This is particularly so of
sheep because there is no other kind
of stock that responds so quickly to
the best of care or in which there are
heavier losses proportionately where
the flock 13 neglected.
Colored Tarnishes for Tin.
The Gewerbeblatt gives the follow-
ing: Thirty grammes of acetate of
copper are ground to a fine powder in
a mortar then spread out in a thin
layer on a porcelain plate and left for
a few days in a moderately warm
place. By this time the water of
crystallization and most of the acetic
acid will have escaped. The light
brown powder that is left is tritu-
rated with some oil of turpentine in
a mortar and then stirred into 100
grammes of fine fatty coal varnish
warmed to sixty degrees R. (16.7 de-
grees Fah.) If the acetate or copper
was exceedingly fine the greater part
of it will dissolve by a quarter hour's
stirring. The varnish is then put in
a glass b ttle and placed for a few
days in a warm place shaking fre-
quently. The small quantity ot
acetate of copper that settles can be
used in making the next lot.
This varnish is dark green but
when applied to tin it requires four
or five coats to get a fine green lustre;
but two coats are sufficient if it is
heated in a drying closet on a uni-
formly heated plate to produce a
great variety of shades of gold. A
greenish gold a yellow or dark yellow
gold then an orange and finally a
reddish-brown shade is obtained.
according to the time and tempera-
ture. The colors are superior in bril-
liancy to those obtained with the En-
glish gold varnish and haye the ad
vantage ot permanency in the light.
If a good copal varnish is used in
making this polychromatic varnish
or lac the tin can be hammered or
pressed.
The production of golden colors de
pends on the reduction of cupric
oxide to cuprous oxide (protoxide to
suboxide) which in small quantity
dissolves in the copal varnish with a
golden color. The more the heat the
greater the reduction and hence the
darker the color. Success depends on
applying it evenly and warming nni-
ioriniy.
An Arraignment of American Vet
erinary Surgeons. A person who
called himself a veterinary surgeon
read a paper recently before the Xew
i ork i armers Club in the Cooper
Institute on the diseases of cattle
and their treatment by veterinary
doctors whose methods he con-
demned. There were he said on the
farms of the United States in June
issa io357.asi horses valued
at $1035798100; 1812.932 mules
valued at 8181.293.200: 993.-
970 oxen valued at 849698500;
12443593 milch cows valued at $321-
089.725; 22 488590 other cattle valued
at $3152214.750; 35191156 sheep val-
ued at $527867340 and 47683951
swine worth $476839510 making a
grand total of the value of dumb an-
imals on farms in the country $3154-
821125. This estimate however the
lecturer considered by far too low
and ne ieit certain that the value or
dumb animals in the United States
was about $7000000000. judging from
the fact that some animals are held
at $50000. as in the case of Damascus.

Veterinary science here lies deep
down in the ditch of ignorance and
the billions of dollars invested in an-
mal property as well as the animals
themselves are left to the
mercies and wantonness of
chance. The country is flooded
with bogus diploma mills several of
which are in this city and other parts
of this state. The speaker went on
in the above strain but failed to men-
tion where the New York diploma
mills are. It is understood that par-
ties in this city do practically sell
veterinary diplomas and it is to be
regretted that some definite facts
were not given.
"Muscle vs. Brain." This popular
heading aptly illustrates the miscon-
ception that prevails in result of ig-
norance of the laws of physiological
development it is a radical error to
suppose that one part of the organism
can be or ever is developed "at the
expense" of some other. One part
may be neglected while attention is
exclusively directed to another part
but the fault does not consist in the
overcare of the one but in. the neg-
lect of the other. It is important to
recognize this because the phrase
"muscle vs. brain" would seem to im-
ply that if we have muscle we cans-
not have brain. It is needless
to remind those who understand the
physiology of the higher animal life
that no such alternative is presented.
Each .and every part of the bo!v
grows as it feeds. The point 'whirk
is too commonly forgotten is that it
feeds as it works and in that propo:-
tion only. If any part is unfxercis-d
it cannot possibly be nourished in
such manner its to produce full
growth and good health. In the train-
ing of youth it is especially necessary
to bear this in mind. To produce
good brain tissue there must be good
brain exercise. The work -done
should not be sufficient to exhaust
the organ or the faculty of re
cuperation will be itself weak-
ened and exhausted and then
the function of repair will lag be-
hind the function of special activity
with the result of deterioratisn instead
of progressive development. The
work done should not as a matter of
fact exceed such limits as regards
quantity or quality as shall suffice to
stimulate growth without exhausting.
An overburdened or overworked
brain cannot be healthy nor can one
that is underworked. Fatigue we
mean mental weariness should not
be incurred by the young ; that is
during the period of development.
The same rule applies to muscle cul-
tivation. Full exercise without ex-
hausting fatigue is the best and in-
deed the only stimulant of growth.
Other things being equal the best
organism the healthiest man will
be one in which both brain and mus-
cle have been developed side by side
by a process of educationary training
in which time and strength have been
so utilized as to afford opportunity
for growth in every direction in what
we call mind i. e. brain function as
well as in physical strength or muscle
function. After the organism has
passed through the stage of growth
and its several parts nave oeen nnany
formulated there may come a time
when muscular activity will so drain
the strength as to impoverish the
brain ; but this state ot matters is not
reached until long after the educa
tionary period and in a well-trained
organism it will never be reached at
all. The lancet.

The Brazos Pilot speaks of old Tex-

little affected by the innovations of
foreign tastes and customs. "From
the governor down to the humblest
citizen" it says "Texans as a rule
have been plain blunt self-reliant
people." It may be suggested that
this is largely due to the fact that it
is just such men as a rule who have
the nerve to emigrate and that Texas
population is largely made up of
plain enterprising people who have
emigrated here from all parts of the
country. The spirit of the Pilot's ar-
ticle however is to compliment
among others Gov. Ireland as "a

no matter how hot the day it is al

Says the Cornhill Express: Every

arguments growing stronger every

present system ot roads is by no
means creditable to the intelligence
of our people. The travel in the
county is great and is rapidly in-
creasing as the population increases.
Why should the people wait longer to
begin the opening up and straighten
ing out of roads that they really can-
not do without ?

have acquired a sort of pre-emption or
prescriptive right to keep public ways
shut up which they were allowed to
close when there was no special de-
mand for their use because no one
cared to make any issue in such mat-
ters as long as public convenience did
not require it.
Capt. Shackford was an American
line commander and is as undemon
strative as Mr. Gould and quite as in-
dependent. His popularity with the
financier sprang from a characteristic
retort. Mr. Gould with that peculiar
quiet humor of his once asked what
social relations he thought should
exist between the owner and the com-
mander of the Atalanta. "I don't
know and I don't care" Shackford
said "but when you want it 1 shall be
glad to give my company as long as
the weather is fine."

rious absence and says: v ur course l

consequences which have followed my
phenomenal departure. But I submit
that the reasons therefor are my own
affair and not that of the public."
Sarah Bernhardt's starring tour
with "Fedora" has been one con-
tinued success. Quite recently after
her performance before the court at
Stockholm the king personally ex-
pressed to her his pleasure and ac-

other women who hav recei ved this
honor.
CEPAETMEST NOTES.
FRIDAY.
" There was little of interest in any
of the departments yesterday. The
adjutant general returned from his
trip and reports much hardship on
account of the extreme drouth. He
stated that throughout the country
where he journeyed there h:id been
no rain for twelve months and as a
result all traces of water had disap-
peared. When he reached the moun-
tains however they found plenty of
water. Here they were obliged to re-
main until the rainy season set in be-
fore he could return. This began
last week.
In the comptrollers office $3000 was
received.
There was the usual rotine of busi
ness but nothing of interest to the
general public in any ot the otner
Drancnes.
Advices from AVashington D. C.
state that the matter laid before Gov
Ireland and of which we gave the
correspondence in full yesterday
nave reached the authorities there.
It is said the Department of Justice
has received further information from
Jefferson Tex. relating to the assassi
nation ot judge Jdaugh the mam
witness of the government in the im
pending case tor violating the
election laws. The writer says
that threats have been made
by the defendants in these cases
to the effect that they will not
be prosecuted by the government
that when they go into court they
will go armed and if the trial should
result in a conviction they will kill
the court and everybody connected
with it. The assassination of Judge
Haugh has given rise to considerable
uneasiness and it is not known how
soon some others may go the same
way. The writer asks that his name
be not used in this matter for should
it be known he would not live to see
the sunshine again.
It is thought at the department here
tnat this matter is nigniy sensational.
The land board met and organized
yesterday. Of course there will be a
great deal of business before the
board in the way of bids lor leasing
and purchasing the school and uni
versity lands which will be acted
upon in proper time.

This aud That.
CoL Rhomberg. the rotund and jo-
cund president of the narrow guage
roiid was seen standing on the rear
platform of the hindmost car of the
outbound tram yesterday morning
lie was tne very picture of compla
cency in tne broadest sense : but Har
ry Wheless trying to get a balking
horse to pull a vehicle up a hillside as
the train passed was a picture not so
satistactory. Anybody who knows

preached a very instructive and im-
pressive sermon on "Christian educa

night. Mr. Chappell is a recent trans
fer from Tennessee to Texas and is
considered a valuable acquisition to
the Methodist ministry ot the state.
The Woman Who Left the Baby.
Yesterday a reporter for The
Statesman started out to investi
gate the matter and if possible get
some clue to the h3artless mother
who so cruelly abandoned her beau
tiful little baby. He was not long
in striking a trail un tne evening
before the morning when the infant
was found a woman came to the
Brunswick Hotel with an infant and
registered as Mrs. Lon McCounel
and was assigned by the
clerk to room Kentucky. This
room fronts on the Ave
nue. During the night parties
across the street noticed her in the
room and also a man in the room
with her. Later she was seen to re-
tire and about 1 o'clock she got up
and dressed herself and was seeu
walking back aud forth in the room
in a singular manner so much so that
the parties who saw her thought she
was not in her right mind. During
the evening a well-known traveling
man ordered drfhks for her irom the
Iron Front saloon and they were taken
to her in room Kentucky.
The night clerk at the Bruns-
wick says that during the
night she took her babe and went
out remarking that it was sick and
she was going to find a doctor. He
says that when she came back she did
not have the child. The next morn-
ing she took the bus for the narrow
gauge railroad and at that time she
did not have the infant with her. Our
reporter interviewed the ticket agent
but he could give no further clue. He
said he sold tickets to several women
but could not distinguish the one
from the others. In a conversation
with Judge Fulmore he stated to a
reporter for The Statesman that he
did not think there was any law in
this state that would punish the
mother for her act and that nothing
could be done with her whatever.
The Other Side.
A reporter for The Statesman
interviewed Mr. Muir and the follow
ing is his statement in regard to the
affair last night. He said a robust
female African Amazon made an at-
tack upon the person of Mrs. James
A. Muir a few days ago while she
was lying in a precarious con-
dition upon her sick bed. The
facts he says are as follows:
Jane Holmes had taken the
week's washing from Mrs. Muir.
She returned the clothing in such a
condition that Mrs. Muir informed
her that she would not receive them
until they were done up in proper
style. She left the clothes and also
the premises highly indignant. A
few evenings thereafter she and her
father went into the neighborhood of
Mr. Muir's and watched the premises
until Mr. Muir should leave. Mrs.
Muir being taken violently worse Mr.
Muir hastily leit home lor ir. Mc
Laughlin. Seeing him leave Jane
Holm s entered the house and
poured out her wrath upon the
sick prostrate lady. She implored
the negress to be quiet on account of
her precarious -condition but she re-
plied. "I am glad I found you so it's
just the fix 1 wanted to catch you in"
and proceeded in her rage to make
the most inhuman assault upon Mrs.
Muir jerking her violently and finally
striking her a powerful blow in the
side which rendered her uncoscious
and then leaving the house hurriedly.
Mr. Muir soon arrived and found his
wife in convulsions and unconscious.
Dr. McLaughlin soon arrived and
administered restoratives success-
fully. It seems that WilliamHolder
father of the assaulting party
loitered near the premises to await
results. Mr. Muir soon detected him
and approaching him naturally was
not choice in his language toward
him. William's plea of ignorance of
the whole transaction and much beg
ging saved him from serious punish
ment at the hands ot Mr. Muir. The
next day the woman Jane Holmes.
was arrested upon the charge ot ag
gravated assault upon Mrs. Muir.
Yesterday through revenge William
Holder had Mr. Muir arrested for
abusive language toward him. Yes-
terday evening Mr. Muir called to see
his brother-in-law Mr. Charles Groce
and found William Holder at the
front gate in conversation with
Mr. Groce. Mr. Muir alighted
from his buggy whip in hand and
with the butt end knocked wuuam
down and then jumped upon him and
punished him most severely. Mr.
Muir surrendered himself to the au-
thorities and subsequently a com-
plaint was filed against him for as-
sault upon Holder. Both cases were
postponed until next Monday. Pub-
lic sentiment thoroughly sustained
Mr. Muir m his action. JNo house
hold is free from liability to such out-
rages as above perpetrated if the
above are the facts in the case.

Knights or the Plain.
The society calling themselves
Knights of the Plain had a picnic and
tournament on Onion creek Friday.
the13th. It was a very pleasant time.
They play as follows: Twelve rings
are fastened to poles and the knights
ride on a gallop and with their spears
catch the rings. Each knight has a
title of honor and by such he is known.
The man who catches the greatest
number crowns his favorite lady
with a crown of honor; and so too
the knight who is second third or
fourth has the right to honor his
lady. The following is the score:
Knight of the Plains 11 rings in 26 seconds.
Knight o the Unlucky Boy 10 rings in 21 sec-
omis. Knight oi the Black Cross 7 rings in 20 sec-
onds. Knight of the Silver Cross 6 rings in 20 sec-
onds. Knight of the Golden Cross 9 rings in 19 sec-
onds. Knight of the Forest 6 rings in 22 seconds.
Knight of Travis S rings in 19 seconds.
Knight of St. Elmo 9 rings in 22 seconds.
Knight of the True Blue 10 rings in 20 seconds
Knight of the Iron Horse 11 rings in 20 sec-
onus.
Wm. Miller won the highest crown
and selected Miss Price for the lady
to wear it; J. G. Northcut the second
and Miss Mattie Palmer was selected
to wear his crown; Tobe Moore the
third and he bestowed his crown on
Miss Lou Walker: John Northcut the
fourth and gave his crown to Miss
Maggie Hamnet.
That Baby.
Mr. B. F. Church is another witness
against the mother who abandoned
the baby. He was in his store on the
Avenue about 12 o'clock or a little
before when he and the gentleman
who was with him noticed a woman
p;iss with a child in her arms. The
strange sight of seeing a woman
richly dressed walking along the
streets of Austin with an infant in
her arms at midnight attracted his
attention and he and the gentleman
to whom he was talking remarked
about the singular circumstance.
They stepped to the door and watched
her until she came to Hie kory street
the street leading to the calaboose.
Here she stopped and looked about
seeming to hesitate and then turned
up toward the castle. Mr. Church re-
marked to the gentleman that it
was some woman seeking the police.
This proves that the little thing lay
in the alley from 12 o'clock until it
was found at half past 4. When
found it was covered with mosquito
bites and no wonder alter lying ex-
posed so long. The baby was wrapped
in the same shawl when the woman
passed Mr. Church's store that was
found with it the next morning. A
reporter for The Statesman has an
inkling of a singular romance in con-
nection with this wee blond baby in
which the travelmg man who ordered
the woman's lemonade for her from
the Iron Front is entitled to a minor
character. The matter is being care-
fully investigated by The States-
man staff and in a few days we shall
giye the entire history of the "pret-
tiest baby ever seen in Austin." It
promises to be out of the usual line of
such things and very interesting.

Died.
On the 11th of July 1883. at 2 o'clock
a. m. Miss Tinie Linn after a long
and much more than ordinarily pain-
ful illness.
The subject of affliction from her
childhood Miss Linn exhibited in a
remarkable degree the grace and
strength of a Christian's fortitude.
With an intellect well cultivated; a
disposition of remarkable vivacity and
loveliness she won the anections and
esteem of all who came within the
circle of her association. In her na-
ture's law of compensation was beau
tifully exemplied. While by reason
of her affliction she was deprived of
many ot the enjoyments afforded to
the young by society; yet she was an
exemplar of all the social virtues; the
sunshine of the home circle and the
recipient of the strongest and
most enduring friendship of all
who come to know her. Not
alone ia sympathy were all
attracted to her: but by her loveli
ness of character amiability of dis
position and a mind well stored and
cultivated every one to whom she
was known became attached by the
strongest friendship supported bya
measure or esteem which ripened into
affection. Subm ssive to the severest
affliction she b re herself without
murmur or com; bunt stable and reli-
ant upon her i'lm-ti m faith.
Miss Linn was t tic second daughter
of the late Mr E :ward Linn for a
number of yeais the Spanish transla
tor in the general land omce anu a.

Mrs; J. C. Minter.
From a life of affliction and almost
continual physical pain she is now
r.ran shitwi to a life of rest of ioy un
mixed with anguish; a home where'
infirmitv. nam and death may not en-
ter. A stricken mother and bereaved .
brothers and sisters together with a
large circle of friends mourn their
loss in her going. But their loss ja
