,Da\ di. rry became almost a house '

of the bitter controversy between free
aoili • and slave owners,and through thai
controversy he acquired his notoriety.
When tho state of California was o

took place between the pro-slavery and
anti-slavery or free-soil elements In the
state to see which should gain control o

and when the organization was i ori'r clod

Ho ir, however, thet is to say up to
1858, Justice Terry bad acquired promi
nence only as an orator and a juris:. Iu
1850 the famous Sen Francisco Ylgiliui•••
committee was organized to free the

swaimed about tho streets.

h' long after tills at an election into
wlrle entered all the bitterness of the
auti- •ilum slavery excitement, Terry
and ' roUorlnk were on opposite •id >. '
and Terry, having forgotten Urodi rick'- i

peril of his life, insulted liroderick in h
politieal speech.

Brodcriek had liecn tricked into taking
a pistol with a liner set trigger than
Terry's so that it went oil before he was
ready. Under these circumstances, the
shooting was nothing less than deliberate
murder.
When the excitement was over. Terry
came from his hiding place and demanded
a trial. All th" details had been Used by
bis friends. He procured a change ol
venue from the place where the murder
was committed to Murin county, and ids
friend Judge J. H. Hard.v, hurried down
from Mokelumme Hill v> take charge of
the trial. On the day set for the case
Hardy and Terry appeared in court. Tne |

associates could make luck went against

nothing for her but abject and poaslbly ,
disgraceful failure. In this emergency j
Judge Terry took her to his homo at j
Stockton anil married her.
During tho reading of tho decision in ;
tho Sharon cruts on the third of Hcptcin- j
ber, 1888, Mrs. Terry insulted Judge j
Field, who turned to Marshal Franks and
cold: "Marshal, remove that woman i
from this court room."
The marshal advanced toward Mrs, :
Terry, who took no notico of him, bu* i
broke out with oaths and vulgar lan- !
gunge. Franks grasped her by the arm i
und in an instant J udge Terry arose and j
exclaimed that no Irving man should
touch his wife. With this he dealt {
Franks a terrible blow on tho neck with :
his (Ist, which sent tho marshal reeling !
across tho flour. Franks regained him- j
self, und, with several deputies and by- |
stunders, rushed uuou Terry und quickly \
removed him. Mrs. Terry was also j

The wildest excitement had prevailed in
the court room and corridors during the
disturbance, but as soon as quiet was

the court took a recess and tho judges re
tired to their chambers.
Two hours later they again appeared
in the court, room and announced the

scribably "tho lund given to Cain," an
told by Jacques Curt lor in 1534, that only
tho imagination can traverse it to that
;wftil, farthest north, where silence site
.to/,en at tho feet of God.
! And yot there is more than funoy and
legend in the tales our captain told of
olden activities ulong these shores an we
ixhilarutingly swept these northern
waters. Tales weird nd strange lliey
were; but the warm blood of Basque
was in his own veins, and his eyes kin
dled with the wondrous histories of
Basque adventures here 1,000 years ago
—historioß which, could they bo proven,
would compel Bancroft and Hcudley to
rewrite all their early pages, and would
sadly dnmpori the enthusiasm for tho
proposed Columbus celebration of 1802.
Briefly this is how the story runs:
The old Iberian raco—perhaps a race
1,000 yearn older than tho Egyptian,
which came from somewhere and over
ran Europe l'rom the Modittcrranean to
the Archangel and Kara teas, und finally
succumbed to other invasions, blendlngs
and assimilations—comprised a people
not only cultivated in the arts, but those
which gave tho world its first and great
est navigators und sea adventurers. All
coasts and climes wore known to them.
The concentrated remnant of this mighty
people gave to tho Basque provinces and
Brittany their Interesting anil spirited
folk. From among these, more than
J,OOO years before Columbus, assisted by
the wily though niggardly spirit of Span
ish conquest and domination, made the
new world subjective to tho old, wt re
those Iberian or Basque navigators, who
had seen every rod of coast lino from
Nova Eembla boy< ud the howling nuel
o.Yoms of Spitzbergcn sea, around the
arctic' Spitsbergen groups, tho far Ice
landic fiorthe, past Greenland's -t,Uut>
miles of ice and silence, the eternal ice
peaks of Ellesuiero Land and Cumber
land island, down boyond the dreary
roach of Labrador, all along the mighty
distances of (St. Lawrence's gulf and
Newfoundland itself, pas! Prince Ho
ward's and Cape Breton islands and
Nova Scotia, to that dread mystery and
graveyard of the sea. Sable island, where
during all these centuries they hud
chased tho whale and taken tho mackerel
and cod. From such us these, liun bio
uud unknown whalers and sailors, Col
umbus undoubtedly gained his positive
knowledge of America, and through It
his immortality of fame.
Menial laburd of Auatriun Women,
It is taken for granted generally that
female sufi'rago would have tho effect
among others, of raising tho status of
working women—forbidding the • uq , ;
inenL of them In occupations unworthy of
their sex. But there is a good deal of
reason to thiuk, if tho lady vob.rs tint;,
fully represent tho gemirul feeling, they
may support what is culled u rotrogra >
policy in this mutter, says tho "Loudon
Standard." Female suffrage may pus-I
bly maintain tho view that women shot l l
not be, debarred from any hones; and
healthy occupation upon sentimental
grounds. It appears from the consular
reports that feminine labor becomes more
and more common in Iho Austrian mines,
while it diminishes In the woolen manu
factories. There was au increase of hT)
hands last year in the one, aguinst a pro
portionate decrease in tho other.
The women are engaged mostly in
hoisting shafts and in tlio pushing of
cars. Though wages are low, they pre
fer this employment to domestic s>; v ice,
because, as is surmised, tlioy work only
eight hours, enjoying their liberty for
sixteen. But there urc factory acts in
Austria. If this theory explains the
preference shown toward labor in tho
I mines as against domestic sorvice, it
fails to account for tho disinclination to
ward factory lubor. Women work at
foundries, steel works and rolling inlll
jil-u.and the Inspectors admit that it does
not seem to Injure them. The feelings of
the sex are everywhere alike, and if Aus
trian girls deliberately choose hard, man
u d labor rather than sedentary or '-do
mestic" employment, we may bo euro
their English sisters will incline to the
sumo view when emancipated.

In tlio morning they aro fed with corn

mill, and afterward swelled in water
over night. For twenty hens half a peck
is prepared each night, and it furnishes
food for ono day—morning and evening.
Fed in this way, the liens are kept in
the best condition, and will commence
laying early in November, and supply

< Hens must be provided with food suit
able for the shells of the eggs. Old
bits of mortar, gravel, otc., should ho
always at hand, for without such food
they will not only withhold nil eggs, but
will often droop and their feathers will
.11 out. Pure breed is tho fashion with
lie luncler just now, but. it is tuiid, that
i.ore healthy chickens would he pro
dieod by crossing the costly breeds with
j .he barnyurd fowl, and that more hardy
[ uud better layers would be thus ob
tained. Gapes, croup and cholera would
certainly not bo so common as at present.
Lice are a goneral infliction among all
breeds of poultry; a little attention will
route all their fori es. An ointment of i
lard and sulphur will drive them off, and j
if ihe roosts are rubbed over -villi kern- !
sow, or a solution of carbolic acei. iht-y |
will often disappear. If the will ,of the i
pouiiry house',are whitewashed with a j
mixture of lime and chrbolh acid, it will

Some persons dip tho fowls infePt-vl

acid—say one part of acid to sixty parts
of warm water—and hold them in it un

fer to feed from the top "t the sllagi . so i
that more or loss of the entire ►u-f.-tce j
can bo fod overy day. To aeco nplish !
this purpose I have plannod in the-now
silo, the chute, shown in the cut, over
the door ot the silo. This consists sim
ply of a 2xlo-inch plank spiked on ■ igo
securely to the silo, .! ) inches from tho
corner. Twenty-inch pieces of shiplap
lightly tacked i" tills projecting plank
connect it with ilui adjacent wall, thus
forming a 10x20 inch chute which passes
through tho inner door of tho silo. Wo
expect to shovel the silage constantly
from tho top, emptying the silo through
(his chute. As the silo empties, the
pieces of shiplap may ho removed, thus
saving the lifting of silage to the top of
the ehuto."
Ilaylci'.iiu; Tuntr-Siartag Trees.
To discover some means oi hastening
the fruiting of tardy-bearing trees or
those that have grown largely to wood, a
row of crab-applo trees was girdled.
Three trees were girdled by cutting out a
ring or bark one-oighth, one-quarter and
ono-lialf inch wide at tho ground, July
12th, 21st and 29th.
Three trees wore girdled just below tho
main branches with the three widths of
girdle as in the first, July 12th, 21st.29th.
Tho same us übovo was made on one
or more main branches with tho throe
widths of girdle, July l'2th, 2 Ist and 29th.
The results wore that all tho girdles
made near the ground healed over
readily and completely.
Those on tho main trunk healed less
eompletcl}", but sufficiently to ensure a
good growth of the tree and the covering
of the injured part in another year.
Tho girdles made in the branches
healed less completely than the last, and
in two instances the now growth failed to
moot and consequently the branches died
soon after starting growth in tho spring.
All showed a marked increase In fruit
fullnoes over those not girdled.
Littlo difference was observed in the
efleot of the girdling made ut different
times or in the various widths of the
ring of bark taken out.

Good Health
Eighty years of time have rested
lightly on the head of Boston's "auto
crat of the breakfast table," and although
ho has been flooded with congratulatory
messages and loving tokens in recogni
tion of his four-score years, there la
nothing in his looks or actions to indicate
that he was classed with the aged. Dr.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Is as sprightly
and as buoyant In spirits as ho woa a
generation ago.

cheery greeting. The visitors who had

well-preserved, erect gentleman, whom,

his step as elastic and his eye as bright
