Feceliarltlc of Bayard, Kndicott, Whit ney, VUaa, M anAingi I-aasar and Gar land, a Nliowa by thn Manner of Sifning: Thrlr Naaaea. Whilejt may not be a generally ac cepted fact that a roan's handwriting is nfair index of his character though there are philosophers who claim as much it can not he denied that there .are certain chirographic traits which tare corelativc of certain mental meth ods or liabits of individual writers, and this fact has always given great and spccial value to the autographs of prominent or famous men and women. In submitting the accompanying fac iiimilics of the signatures of the mem bers of President Cleveland's Cabinet it may not be out of the way to state that taken as a collection these specimens of penmanship, in the judgment of per sons familiar with the hand-writing of former Cabinet ollicers, deserve a very high rank. H 7 94i te s- - The Secretary of State writes a pro emiucntly literary hand. It is to be in ferred from the sentiment to which he has appended his signature that ho has not a very high opinion of the beauty of his own list, and it will be generally .admitted that it is not overburdened with legibility. If every man, woman :aud child in the United States didn't know better, the signature of the new Secretary of State might be taken to be "T. F. Mayond." "T. F. S. Cayard." or any one of a half-dozen combinations of letters. Mr. Bayard's writing has the "dashed off" characteristic of edit orial "copy." It looks like the writing of a man who, having well matured hi. subject, loses no time in setting down i hat he has to say. y& Lt"f- irfff rtirn Q A cc&Gx rout4 The above specimen from the :on of -the Secretary of the Interior suggests a conspicuously deliberate method. The careful punctuation of each of the three initial letters, and the uniformity of their shading, show a careful, paintak- m ing habit of writing. It is not probable that Secretary Lamar writes with any thing like rapidity, prweeeding rather with caution, and being jealous of any thing like enforced alterations or intar lincations in his manuscripts. It is the handwriting of a studious man. appar ently famihar with the trick of taking copious marginal notes on the books he -reads. 3L6.rfsr The handwriting of Secretary Man gling goss a long way towards refuting the theory that a man's occupation may "be determined by his cliirography. Mr. Manning's is neither the literary nor the distinctively business hand. His signature woulfl not be taken by a stranger to be the signature cither of a newspaper editor or a bank president. It cannot be denied, however, that it .scms to suit exactly the title of " Secretary of -the Treasury." It is neat, dignified and self-assertive, and looks like a signature which would only be put where it was really needed. "Vith Mr. Whitney's sign ature a great -many New Yorkers are familiar. It seems a pity that in the present in stance it is not accompanied by the words: "Secretary -of the Navy.""ta show how it wonld look in its new re lation. It is a bold, almost dashing sig nature, the handwriting of a vigorous young man who evidently eats and sleeps well and has nothing particular- ly heavy on his conscience.

In Secretary of War Endicott's signa ture the legal habit is conspicuou-ly in dicated. Thorc is something about the appearance of the last four letters of his name, with the queerly crossed double t's, which brings to mind a vis ion of interminable briefs and tremend ously long legal document?. The i " is undotted, snowing that the writer is familiar with the value of time, but nevertheless a legibility about it all which prove? that he fully realizes the importance of being accurate and pre cise in all written matters. Washing ton Cor. X. Y. World. WHAT THE RIEL REBELLION IS. A Ilrlef Statement of thn ClrctiBUtaacea Which 1'recIpUatrtl It. The Toroato Mail was not disposed to believe the tir.-t reports of the Carl eton hprising, putting the blame on St Paul newspapers, anxious to score a point against the Northwest in the race for the season's immigration. Uy th s time it will know that the troubles have as sumed a really serious aspect, and that there Is little hope now that they will be suppressed without loss of life. Our Toronto contemporary proceeds to state the grievances of the Saskatchewan set tlers, putting them in the light not un favorable to the men who are now in open rebellion. It says: Under the Manitoba act of 1870 each half-breed born in that province before July 1 of that year was granted two hundred and forty r.cres of laud free, in satisfaction of what may be termed the half-breed title. Hut beyond the con fines of Manitoba lay a few half-breed settlements for the inhabitants of which no provision was then ma.le, nor, in deed, was any demand at the time. St. Laurent, one of these, was estab lished as long ago as lSG- and is a fairly prosperous place. The first de mand for consideration was preferred by the colonists ten years ago, when they asked to be placed on the same footing as regards free homestea Is as tne metis oi iAinnuooa. iuier on, when the Dominion surveyors appeared in the country a fresh grievance sprang up. The half-breeds, as was the French custom, had s-cttlcd along the rivers, each larm having a narrow each farm water frontage, and extending far back in the form of a long parallelogram. The surveyors were, of course, com pelled to destroy this arrangement of the holdings, and the people earnestly protested against it. They alio renewed their claim for grants of two hundred and fori acres per capita, and from that day to this the agitation has been maintained, Kiel's arrival from Montana last spring giving it the semblance of a general and united movement The Kill of Rights adopted by the half-breeds at a public meeting at St. Laurent's in September demand (1) the sub-division into prov inces of the Northwestern Territories; (2) the half-breeds to receive the tame grants and other .advantages as tlifi Manitoba half-breed; (8) patents to be issued at r nee to the colonists in possession; (4) the sale of five hundred thousand acres of Dominion lands the proceeds to be applied to the establish ment in the half-breeds setlUment of schools, hospitals and such like institu tions, and to the eqif pincnt of the poor er half-breeds with sied grain and im plements; (5) the reservation cf ono hundred townships of swamp land for d.stribution among the children of half breeds during the next one hundred and twenty years; (6) a grant of at least one thousand dollars tor the maintain ance of an institution to be conducted by the nuns in each half-breed settle ment; and (7) better provision for the support of tho Indian. This last item was inserted by Kiel in order to please Poundmaker. a turbulent Indian chief, whose band has since made common cause with tho half-breeds. It w ill be observed that the original claims haven assumed fanciful proportion?, Kiel's rule being to ?sk more than he is en titled to. in order to better his chances of getting his due The half-breeds will be satisfied, however if they obta'n the Jnitcnts for the farms which they have een cultivating all these years, with grants of two hundred and forty acres for those among them who have not taKcn up land. Monsigr.or Grand n, the Roman 'Catholic B shop of that re gion, supports the Bill of Rights to that extent, and so do the vast majority of the English-speaking settlers. H7m:i- peg 2'imcs. a Economical Habits. The economical habits of the Heathen Chinee arc notorious, and they are well illustrated by a correspondent who. writing from Tien-Tsin. says: "Tho Chinese infantry soldier is paid once a month, when he receives SI taels of sil ver. This sum. which is equal to about $1.75, is given to him in scrap bullion; and during the night and each day the . a 1 ?- e l paymasters aru uusuy cngageu m weighing out Silver ami making it up into neat little packages for distribution. As soon as he has obtained his share the soldier takes it to the nearest shop keeper or money changer, who, inre tnra for it, hands him 5,50x) copper cash, the aggregate weight of whici is .quite as much as he can couvienUy car ry Out of this the soldier has to" keep himself in food and clothing, and the pt can not, therefore, be caucd exces sive. A Chinaman, however, lives al niostiKclusivcly upon rice, a aatnth's snpnly of which, costs a good deal less than 1,000 cash, and many a private not oaly supports a family wpon tne bal ance of his earnings, bnt pnto by a han dled cash every month.

Tfce retallty WMek Smmi t Attao Attempt Co KitaMlak Them. The 'Bell Farm" "must go." Thir teen thousand acres of the Northwest, in process of depletion by skim culture, occupied by a shifting population of one hundred and ninety unmarried hired men, or truant husbands, is, happily, antagonistic to the spirit of vAmerican civilization, because opposed io tne pumic wen are, in course oi time this abused land will be cut up, ac cording to the Toronto Globe's figures, "into about one hundred and thirty separate holdings, each affording a home for an average family of five per sons.1' Such was the fate "of the Sulli van estate in Illinois, broken after com plete failure of the absorber, who ' bit off more than he could chrw." Also of the "bonanza agriculture" of the bank rupt " wheat king" of California, who spread out too thin. And already we hear less of the "great Dakota farms" than in greener days. Moreover, the stars in their courses fight against the, covetous Slsera sys tem which robs the land by socoeseive wheat. Hardly any soil is "inexhaust ible;" even the lacustrine depths of the Platte Valley must tire out in the long run like a stout Welsh pony tiiat goes a great way as have the rieh lands of Ontario and Illinois, and even newer Kansas already begins to realize that the fat prairie would better be fed. It is a fortunate fact that, as a rule, only diversified agriculture is permanently profitable, and obviously, as the UloCe points out, this cm not be conducted on a mammoth scale. The tendency, as our public domain becomes occupied, and population increases, must be to ward smaller farms and Ijetter tillage, as is the case in crowded Kurope, nota bly in France, and as will be in Great Hritaiu when more humane and right eous land laws supersede the present selfish, and therefore unwise, owner shin of large entailed estates. There is a view of this subject of im mediate and general application which agricultural teachers of late are im pressing with line upon line. Some of the more forehanded farmers Iiavo learned by pleasant exp-riencc how much better it is to concentrate manure and tillage upon a comparatively smnll surface than to weaken their etlorts by trying to occupy more land than can bo fertilized and cultivated with the " in tens'ty" without which the best returns with the least outlay are never secured. This tritn "but increasingly important tilth is prctcnted in varied ways with an array of calculations and compari sons which need not be repeated hero, for the reason that it is i-elf-evident to all who will fix th mind upon the mat ter. It was one of Mr. Greeley's favor ite points in farm talk and writing. That thoughtful, unselfish and suggest ive public instructor never wearied of urging the growing of better crops from fewer acres and the return to forest of much of the hillsides whose clearing was due to the short-sighted desire for more arable land. .V. 1'. Tribune FARMERS. Why Soma of Them Are, anil Always Will He, Poor. There arc some farmers 'who are con stantly threatening to quit farming and go into some nwe lucrative hurines. If they would carry these threats into sxceution (which they seldom do), ag riculture would not loss much and the occupation in which they would engage would not gain much, unless they very materially changed their habits. How ever, there must be some cause for these people not being able to make fanning pay. Let us .-ce where the fault lies, whether with the people or because of the poor advantages which they possess. Mr. Jones is a neighbor of mine, is one of those that is continually prating that "nothing pays so poorasfarmin . Some poet lias sung "There are no birds in last year's ns , but go to the farm and you will find the plow in last years furrow. Yes. there it is. all rusty, and there it will stay tint 1 spring, and then it will have to be taken to town to be polished, and a day's work lost in a very busy season, and Jones will won der why he is behind with his work. His seeder, harrow, harvester and other machinery stand unhoused anl unpro tected alike from summer sun and win ter snow. This machinery represents hundreds of dol'ars of capital, and with care would hist twice as long as it will by being left unhn-ed. (Jo to his stock yards and you will see a few hogs and two or three cows standing huddled to gether in one corner of the yard, wiih nothing to protect them from the chilling blast. And, yet he won ders why Irs stock does not get fat. Ak him why he docs not bu Id sheds, and he will tell 3011 he can not ay tho high price that is asked for umber. Yet he has burned enough straw to make a shed for herds of cat tle and hogs. He does not subscribe for any agricultural paper because he thinks the money thus expended is of no us?, although a short time since he was cheated out. of eighty dollars by a swindle which was fully shown ujp in the agricultural papers. To Jones and all that say the farm don't pay, I would say it is because it don't owe you any thing. Farming, when conducted right. pays better for thy amount of capital invested than any other occupation. Tlie soil is very prompt in paying o:f all just obligations, and throwing in a good sum for interest u,.'.side?. llut it is very unwilling to yield up its treasure to those who have no clam upon it. To be sure a farmer has his losses, but show me the bnslncss that ha nut George Washington saM that Agriculture is the mo-t healthful, most Useful and most noble employment of man;" to UTs he might have added, and still mainta ned unshaken his reputation for veracity, the most paying.
