HORSB OOXXABS.— How to fit a new
collar to the shoulder of a horse ia thns
told by Tkt Fabry Former; The collar
should be of the proper siee; just before
putting it on the first time, immerse it
in water, letting it remain about a min

being careful to have the hames so ad
justed at the top and bottom so as to fit
the shoulder, and then put the horse to
work. The collar by being wet, will
adapt itself to the shoulder, and should

FATTEXJMO Hods,—in regard to the
number of rimes per day hogs should be [
. fed, tvben pat up for fattening, my sx-.
Serienco in ihe matter is this : When ;
ogs are as old aa tbey should be, after
putting them in the pen and feeding
them somewhat plentifully for six or
eight day & they will then bear full feed-1
ing, and (Jiey should have all that they ;
can eat—wind I care not whether it is j
given in oe feed or five. But about one
day in easfli week I like to feed a little
sparingly, KJ as to let them get a little
hungTj. Turning hogs into a corn-field
I consider a wasteful way of feeding.
Still, I think I have never seen bogs !
fatten faafer than when they were feed
ing themselves in this manner. Ido not
think it best to give full feed to hogs at !
as early t an age as some do. Putting j
them to 'pasture and giving them some
grain to keep them thrifty, 1 regard as 1
the liesk plan until they are twelve to
sixteen months old. By this time they
have age and constitution to bear, being
pnt np ami. fall fed. In this way they
will take oh flesh and fat very fast.
When hogs are penned up to be fatted,
they frecently fail, I think, to get
water .noagh. It is according to my
exjwi i<-uie that we have to salt and water
onr stock fat, a* well as to feed them fat.

A Melancholy Story.
Anna Soloman, aged twenty eight, a

years ago to a pcdler mimed Israel Solo

GERMAX COCRTESY. —No one can help
sdmiriug the simplicity, kindliness, and
honesty of the German*. The universal

the servant join in hoping that you will

| HAS Wow HIS C ASE.— What has been
known tor many years as 4 *the great
! Oregon land case " "has at last beeu de
cided by a jury in favor of one Joseph
Thomas, otherwise known as "Wrest
ling Joe," a person now almost onr
hundred years of age. It appears from
the testimony given on the trial, that
this Joe had married a Miss Elizabeth
t'arnthers, in 1916, and that a son was
th&onlv Issue of the union. A separa
tion laving occnred, cither before or
after his birth, Mrs Thomas emigrated
j to Portland, Oregon, where she resided
Inn til her death. The son grew to lie a
| man, and engaged in land schemes
which enabled him to acquire a hahd
some estate. At his death, being with
out heirs, the snthoritics seized every
thing that belonged to him. aud were
about to have a sale, when tber were
stopped by a lawyer named Hannah,
who had sncceeded in discovering sever
al of the kinsmen of the late Mr. Thomas.
Soon afterward, tlfe old man, •' Wrest
ling Jae," was found in a condition of
abject misery, and bis title to lie the
heir of liia son was so satisfactorily prov
ed that Ue was surrounded by sjecnla
tors. and his claim purchased. Recent
ly, a decision was given in favor of those
person*, bat as the property is valued at
upwards of a million dollars, the origin
al claimants continne to fight, which
will very shortly lie resumed iu the Su
preme Court. Meanwhile poor old Joe
has been provided with enough money
to enable him to live in luxury for the
remainder of his days. During the prn
greab of the testimony a fact was de
veloped which tells very well for Oregon
The estate now valned at a million was
only worth fortv thousand dollars in

SECRET MARUIAOES.— Every now and
| then the public is startled by the ex
j poeure of some domestic or social villany
j based on a secret marriage. Some con
fiding youne lady has been induced to
i marry" ber lover secretly, and to keep
i the marriage secret for months, and per
haps for year*. In a recent rase tlie
marriage had been kept secret for nearly
seven years. Of eourse a man who
wishes to keep his marriage a secret is
always actuated by selfish," and usually
by base motives. He is acting a part
playing a game; and his confiding wife
is pretty sure, in the end, to find herself
the victim of his tre.icl.ery and base
ness. A woman should never consent to
any such arrangement. Her mairiage
should be solemnized in the light of
publicity, and not in the shallow of con
cealment. She should distrust a men
who has any reason for shrouding in
darkness the fact which—ln liis estima
tion at least—should lie the crowning
glory of his lite. The man who always
has some plot on hand—who naturally
takes to trickery snd concealment, and
is never ready to have his actions
brought ont into the clear light of day,
is apt to be so constitutionally base that
he seldom, even by aecidcDt, deviates
into the path of honor and virtue. No
i woman who values her domestic htp
j pirn "-a should ever listen to the sugges
tions of such a man in favor of a secret
marriage.
Won,D NOT FEI.L.—A correspondent
tells the following : 44 "We were driving,"
she says, * 4 through one of the prettiest
and most picturesque of New England
villages; it had about 900 inhabitants,
nobody was poor, anil nobody was very
rich. One saw mill was on the bank of
the beautiful, foaming, shady river, and
in front of it sat the millers—one reading
a newspaper, one a book. Said one of the
party, •' There is fall euough here to run
A good many factories; I wonder that it
is all unused.' Our driver laughed and
said, 'They won't sell water-privilegss
have. Some Boston men came here and
tried to buy, but the people woaldn't
hear to it; thev said tliey didn't want a
manufacturing popuhtfU't' to come here
and : spoil their society.'" So the Oon
tocook flows for miles unchecked by
dams, free from mill waste, with its
"tall" unused, and its beauty unspoiled
Ucrding in California.
The ranehe from wnieh 1 write—the
Tejon it is called—aeemato tue.n* 1 have
said, the finest property in the United
States in a single hand. It contains near
ly 200,000 tiores.aud lies at the junction of
tne Sierra Nevada with the ooast range,
which Wild around toward each other
in a vast sweep and form the bottom of
the groat San Joa<ptiu Valley. The two
mountain ranges do not quite meet.
The Tejon lhtaa, a narrow defile, separ
ate* them, and gives egress from the
valley into tlie lam Augele* country.
You may ride for 80 mine on the comi
ty road upon tht* great estate; It sup
ports this year over 100,000 sheep; ami
it has a peasantry of its own. The 'IV
jou is devoted to sheen; and here I saw
the operation of shearing—eight or nine
weeks are required to sliear the whole
flock- as weli a.* the various detail* of
the management of a Cahforni i sheep
farm. What we call at home a flivk, is
here called a laiud of sheep. These
liaud* consul usually of front 1,900 to
1,000 sheep, and each band is in elia'gs
of a sliephcrd. Of course, the sheep
are scattered over many milea of terri
torv, but each band has a limited range,
donned some shut bv the vicinity of wa
i ter, and it is customary iu Calforuia to
drive every night into a eorr.il, or enclo
sure usually fetierd with brash, and with
a narrow entrance. Ttiis corral is near
water, and the sheep driuk at morning
and evening. The shepherd sleeps near
' by, in a luit, or, iu the mountain part of
the Tejon lUuehe, on a <<■>■*/ra. The
i corral i.* to keep the sheep together st
(night, and protect them iu a measure
' against the the attack* of wild boasts,
which, curiously euough, srs too ow
-1 ardly to venture after dark itlsids of even
| a low fence. The topeatr* is to protect
j ihe shepheril himself against the attacks
, of griuly Wtirs, which are still abundant
in the mauntains, especially iu the COM*:
lt.iuge. The tepo*tn is a platform
j about twelve feet high, built upou stout
pol#a solidly setiuto the ground. Upon
i this platform the shepherd sleeps, iu the
> mountains, at the entrance of the corral;
the griuly bear oinuot climb a pole.
1 though he can get up a tree large enough
to give bis claw* a hold. It is I believe,
not infrequent for a grizzly to stand up
at the side cJ a tepestru at night, and try
to rouse out the shepherd. But alt the
men arc armed with guns, which they
carry day and night.
The grizzly d<a3 not usually attack
sheep. The California lion, a strong
I but very cowardly beast, the wild eat,
! the fox, aud the coyote, are the sheep's
! enemies. The last-named is easily poi
soued, with meal which has strychnine
powdered over it. The others are liuni
i*l when they lieeome troublesome, and
as the lion, on the lightest alarm, take*
: to a tree, and will ran even from a small
J dog, it is not accounted a very trouble
some beast. Indian*, Spaniards, Chi
nese, and tow* Scotchman serve as shep
herds iu California. The last aie
| thought the best; aud thoChinese make
very faithful shepherds if they arc prop
erly and carefully trained. They are
apt to herd the sheep too closely together
at first Dogs I have found but little
used iu the sheep ranches I have soeu.
Of course the shepherd* have to l>e sup
' plied ut stated intervals with food. They
I usually receive a week's ration*, which
; they cook for themselves. At the Tejon
' there arc two supply stations; and evert
! morning donkeys and mules were seut
I out with food to some distant shepherd*.
The ration-masters oount the sbeep a*
they deliver the rations, and thusull the
binds are counted once a week, and if
1 any sheep are missing they must be ac
I counted for. The shepherd is allowed
: to kill a sheep once in so many days,
I but he must keep the pelt, which is vul
j liable. Above the ration ■ masters are the
i major domos. Each of these hus charge
of a certain number of bands; on a
smaller estate there is usually but cue
major dome. It is his duty to set- that
the shepherds are competent; that uew
pasturage is ready when a band has netd
for it; to see that the corral* are in good
order; to provide extra bauds at lamb
ing time; to examine the sheep to keep
out scab, which is almost the only djs
ease sheep are subject to in this State:
aud to give out the- rations for distribu
tion. On arch an estate as the Tejon
there i*, finally, a geueral superintend
ent and a bookkeeper and storekeeper —
for here in the wilderness a supply of
goods of various kinds must be kept up
for the use of the people. A blacksmith,
teamsters, plownieu, gardeners, and
house servant! mske up the complement
oftheTijons company. The garden
ers and -crrants are Chinese, as they
usually are in this State, and Tery good
men they are—civil, obliging and com
petent.
Beside these numbers fed from the
home place, there are on this estate
about 300 Indians, who have been al
lowed to fence in small tracts of laud,
on which they raise barley and other
provisions, and m some cases plant fruit
trees and vine*. They form the peas
antry and are a happv, tolerably thrifty,
and very comfortable people. Their
surplus produce is purebwed by the su
perintendent; when their labor is u*ed
they are paid; and they all have horses
which pasture on the general fields.
They hare learned how to plow, shear
sheep, and perform some other useful
labor.
Henry Clay in the Konse.
Henry Clay's control of the House,
says a writer, was almost supreme. Al
though there were many of the ablest
men iu the country among the people's
representatives, particularly daring the
administration of Mr. Munroe. I re
member to have heard a distinguished
member of the Houso from Massachu
setts, Mr.Gorbara of Boston, express the
opinion that the power wielded by
Mr. CJay as sjieaker would be dangerous
to the liberties of the country, if exer
cised by a man lacking in patriotism or
integrity. His rulings were rarely dis
puted and never set aside. Naturally
arbitrary and overbearing,with unlimited
confidence in himself,and a oornm inding
presence to set one's self against him.
He put the clock in the hall back an
hour and a half on one occasion to pro
long tli session, that a certain order of
business might bo completed. On an
other, when a bill providing for a series
of internal improvements was under dis
mission, an appropriation for the Cum
berland road in which ho was much
interested, being one of the principal
items, he made a decision, or rather took
u position, which startled all reflecting
men, although it was silently aoquiesed
in. The debate, which was an unusual
ly animated one, had extended through
several days, the opjmsitiou being strong
and determined, when a North Carolina
strict constructionist moved the indefi
nite postponement of the bill. The
motion was perfectly parliamentary snd
not an uunsunl one. Bnt Mr. Clay regard
ing it as a trick to kill the measure,
thundered out in his most commanding
tone*, "Tbe chair will uot entert on the
motion of the ruemlier from North Caro
lina. If be wishes to defeat this great
measnre, let him undertake it in a fair
and manly manner. Let him manifest
his opposition in the proper form. Why
not make a speech against it? The
House will listen patiently to whatever
ha may have to say." The gentleman
was no taken aback that lie did not open
his month, and the debate proceeded
without further interruption.
MORE OF THEM.—TWO more eases of
aecidint from playing with firearms.
Tin y are becoming so common that we
shall cease to make a record of them soon.
The first ease was where one Mrs. Mur
ray, of San Ernncisco, playfully pointed
a revolver at tho head of a little girl. Of
course she thought it was not loaded.
But it was. Moreover, it went of!'.
Furthermore, the little girl was shot
dead. Second case; a boy of thirteen,
while in a shooting-gallery in New York
eity, took a rifle (which, of course he
thought unloaded) from the rock, and
pointing it playfully at a little girl four
years old, said, "I will shoot you."
He did shoot her, and she died. Who
wants to have an " nuloaded" pieee of
fire-arms pointed at him iu jest ?

between 4,000 and 5,000 feet atmve the

CHIONONB.—The fashion of wearing
chignons first emanated from Puris, but
lias been SO exaggerated, has grown so
fearfully, that tho Parisians themselves
laugh at tho absurdities wh.ch have
sprung from their tasteful coiflures.
Nowhere in Paris would lie seen such
immense chignons or prodigiouspaniers
as tb." English or American women wear.
The difference between a Pari si AU und
an American tournure is very nonr the
difference between a peck measure and
that which holds abu-thcl. Rome fashions
are l iko fashionable gossip, which adds
to itself something from every retailer of
it, until it swells iuto a fearful scandal.
So the fashion which started, a thing of
grace, frorp Paris, as soon as it has
crossed the sens is puffed into an absurd

FASHIONS. One of the most novel
toilettes of the scusou, says a fashion
journal, is made of ranroon silk and pale
straw colored erepc do chine. The un

wide plaited flonnse which is headed by
a double row of scallops in straw colored
silk. Tbe overskift is of straw colored
crepe de chine ; it Is cut very deep and
trimmed with lace ol the same tint. It
is looped high nt the sides mid back.
The eorsage is cnt with basques and

Nightmare nud Dreams,

horrible phenomena of nightmare. NVhy
in it that our dreams, when we aleeu in
an easy poiiitinii ami the mgwuistu io in

able ; but when we sleep in a erwiuped,
oppressive attitude, or are suffering from
indigestion, they are invariably of a

thia abstruse and interesting problem tile

the organism, produce disturbiug and :
violent reactions in various nerve centres, j
These reactions, reporting themselves in j

THE DAHIT. —In New York and Penn
sylvania, say a a correspondent, farm
stork is pastured abont one-half of the
year, anil it certainly is a matter of great
impertaniM) to know how to realize the
most profit from the land devoted to this
branch of farming. The dairymen are
generally in favor of peimatienl pastures,
though there is now and then one among
them who has found out by trial the
greatly increased yield of grass on newly
seedeA lands ; but the tendency among
these men is to measure their year's
work, not so much by det rmining the
products per ncie of their farms, but
rather thu pounds of cheese or butter
made peg cow. I never heard a daily*
man state, of his own accord, the amount
of money his farm paid by the acre, but
1 have constantly heard of cows paving
from 85U to 3100 each for the year's
business.

otherwise have had to pay la. Od for a

that in tkia case the claim would bo allow

"porterage," and not "porter." The
officer answered that lie would obey

TITE DIAMOND FETER.— The latest re
port from the Arizona diamond fields is
that a party which thoroughly explored
the so-railed diamond region found an
abundance of rallies, sapphires, and
crystals which resembled diamonds,
but which were simply quartz. If the
diamonds have alrfadv turned into
worthless quartz, it wili hardly do for
those who have taken stock in the dia
mond mining companies to console
themselves by faith iu rubies and sap
phircs. 'lbere is no security that the
latter will not luru into cheap agates
and oornelias, anil the whole story of the
price lew gems of Arizona prove to t>e
the result of ignorance and fraud. No
one has yet explained why men who i-nn
pirk up diamonds without number should
content..themselves with securing sam
ples of the precious gems, and then pro
ceed to form stock companies with the
view of selling their invaluable posses
sions at a rate very far below the market
price of a half a dozen of their best
gems. __
RUSSIA AND On IN A.—A letter from
Rf. Petersburg in the SchfcsitcJir Z thing
says that Russia is preparing for a war
with China. The territory of Konldscha,
on the western frontier of the latter
country, was, as is known, occupied by
the Russian trpops last year, ana China
now intends to regain liossessiou of it.
The Mahommcduu population, however,
are so hostile to the Chiue.se govern incut,
that they declare they will put to death
any Chinese official who appears in the
country: This would of course lend to
a conflict, in which Russia will donbtlcsa
take the part of Kouldseha against its
so-called oppressors. The Government
at Pekin seems to be id ready anticipa
ting such a contingency, for it is build
ing ironclads and employing 1,500 men
daily In the preparation of guns and
amu'nition, and has sunt agents among
the Russian Khirgis to induce them to
resume their old ulliance to China.

or nearly abreast ot the pilot house.
The prejieller was immediately stopped
and turned round, and we endeavored
to And the vessel, but failed to do so. I
sent the mates and pilot below to ascer
tain if the propeller waa making any
water. Thev reported to me that she
was not, and we considered the damage
very alight. We then proceeded on our
way to Provwlene-j. After running a few
moment* the engineer reported that the
steamer was rapidly tilling. I immedi
ately headed her for the nearest thorn,
and*used erery gsertion in my power to
Hive the passengers and crew. At this
time the wind was blowing a strong gale
from the wiuthweat, accompanied by
heavy nun. It aoon became evident the
t vainer mast go down. It was not longer
than half an hour from the time she was
beaded for the shore until she sunk.
The life l>oats a ere lowered and filled at
oucc with persons anxious to he saved.
One of the boats was swamped, bat was
soon lighted bv the chief engineer, wlm
was in her. He sculled her up to the
wreck, and she waa again boaraed with
success. About fifty persons were left
on tlie upper deck, which drifted with
the gale. The storm still continued, and
although Hcrcral vessels came wi:hiu
sight, none recognuhvl us. We contin
ued in this perilous condition until about
8 o'clock s. 11.. when we drifted on the
bench about half a mile from the Watch
Hill Lighthouse. The surf wa- very
high, aud our danger arms increased. By
this time unite a large number of people
from the Watch Hill Hotel, were on the
beach proffering aid, but all was of no
nae to tin. The roar of the surf prevent
ed any communication, and it was evi
dent to ua that the deck, on which we
floated, must soon go to pieces. In a
few moments tha breaking began, and
we were all thrown into the surf. Bv
the kindness of those on shore nearly all j
were saved from the pilot house and up-:
per work a lam unable to aiy at pres- j
ent how many of the crew and passengers ;
were loat with Ibe hulk.
