It is well kuowu througbout the
United States that to Mrs. IlayeE
belongs the honor of causing wine
to be banished from the Whito
House, and because of this the tem
perance women of the country have
had a memorial picture painted of
her, and, a9 the gift of the nation,
President Garfield has accepted it as
ucb, and it now adorns the wallB of
the "White House.
Miss Francis E. Willard, as presi
dent of the "Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union of the United States,
had charge of this memorial. This
society has taken advantage of the
Influence of more than three hun
dred thousand visitors to the capital
at the inauguration to actively push
their work which is becoming very
prominent and it is receiving re
spectful consideration from highly
calturgd christian people.
Some of the citizens of Falls
Church, where we reside, and which
is nine miles from 'Wa8hington,.pre
vailed on Miss "Willard to come out
to our town and to address us on
temperance. We bad a splendid
meeting; a full house, nice music
and an eloquent address. I was
honored by being selected to preside
at this meeting and. I introduced the
bpeakers with a short address.,
Thus we became acquainted with
MisB "Wijlard, and she invited me to
be present at the great meeting to be
held in Lincoln Hall by the "W. C
T. U., on whittfi occasion the oil
painting of ,the portrait of 3Ire.
Hayes was to be unveiled. It was
not in human .nature to resist such'
an invitation; accordingly, on the
7th of March, wq went with a nura
ber of friends to the old city of
Alexandria, which is situated on the
Virginia eide of the Potomac. There
we attended a county meeting of
the L O. G. T. At 1 o'clock we
crossed over aud up the river to
Washington on the ferry-boat, thus
having a pleasant ride in a hand
some steamboat of six miles. On
reaching the city I immediately took
street cars and rode in them for four
miles. I was lookiug up the Sadies
connected with the temperance
work, especially Mrs. Roach, who is
the president of the Washington so
ciety. Unfortunately, as it was a
flue warm day and every house in
the city being full of visitors, I found
none of the ladies at home, therefore
I failed to procure a ticket to the
platform which had been promised
me, and which would also have en
titled me to make one of the speech
es of the evening. In this dilemma
I could think of nothing better to
do than to go to the meeting and to
go upon the platform from the au
dience room when the curtain should
rise ; this I thought would bo easy
enough to accomplish, as the presi
dent, Miss "Willard, was my friend.
I ought to have stated that a ticket
entitled one to enter a private door
and' to go by the way of a winding
passage to a parlor back1 of the stage.
I then went to a hotel. My friends
had .advised me to be promptly at
the door at "7 o'clock as a great
crowd was anticipated.
Liucoln Hall is one of the largest
audience rooms this side of New
York. The Young Men's Christian
Association own the building.whicb
has several large stores in the lower
story. The-architecture Is beautiful
and the hajl itself is graud aud high.
It is seated with twelve hundred
fixed armchairs in tiers above each
other from the stage, but sometimes
two thousand people crowd into it
Thei platform will. Eeat a hundred
people. This hall rents for three
hundred dollars per uight.
I waB alone, but as I am naturally
intrepid and not tho least afraid,
therefore I enjoy such a time as I
--nt into that night, for although it
was not yet 7 o'clock aud the meet
ing did not commence until 8, yet
when I turned the street corner such
a spectacle .as met my view I A
great black mass of people like a
huge convention waiting before the
yet unlocked, door. How the half
of them were going to get into the
hall 1 could not Bee. And I was at
the -back of all this crowd ; but I
watched every opportunity when by
their uneasiness a break was made
and poshed Into the breach ,aad soon
found myself near the door, then I
felt the pressure from behind. Such
a crowd levels all distinctions, and,
strange to say, instead of being an
gry with each other they get merry
and joke. . The door opened and in
we went like a flock of sheep. I
said to a lady beside me as I felt
the press of the crowd, there is no
danger but that we shall get in this
door. On we went, thron?h halls,
and up high and wide stairs I, light
of foot, and small in pqrson, skipped
in and out, and gained continually
until at length I had fairly pushed
into the hall. Although there are
five doors to the hall yet we had all
come to the 6me way, and had en
tered at the back, high up, and we
were immediately informed by an
usher that seven hundred seats in
the froriUrows were reserved for
invited gaests. The remaining seats
were filled in a few minuteB and
than .commenced -an excited contest
betWeea the ushers and1 the crowd.
The people did not regard them but
just tooktihe reamed .seats.? then
one of the ushers, a strong young
man, declared that sot anether one
ebould past, and he spread himself
across the aisle aad braced himself
by the bacteroTihe aeala. T wasted
to get into ;tbriile yery badly, for
a terror had seized upon me lest I
should be crushed. I felt the young
man's arm tremble, and I thought
that it would give way in a minute
and so it did, and I sped down the
aisle aud plautod myself by a marble
pillar determiued to stand there
throughout the evening. Just then
Colonel aud lady spoke pleas
antly to me ; they were both seated
on the steps of the aisle and thank
ful for the seat I had not stood
there long before a gentleman came
to me, he had recognized me. He
said, "I have a reserved seat for
you," and he led me to his wife
where I had one of the finest seats
near the front and in the center of
the hall. I cannot express my grat
itude for the respectful manner in
which I am treated whenever I go
to the city, and for the friends who
continually spring up around my
path. I settled contentedly into
my chair glad enough to enjoy from
the audience the grand spectacle
which was soon to open before us.
The heavy crimson curtains were
drawn up. In the center of the
stage aud about ten feet back the
oil painting was firmly fixed about
four feet from the floor ; it was cov
ered by green rep curtainB. From
its base to the floor was a bank of
flowers and large pots of dwarf
palms and other foliage were set all
over the stage. Among these sat
the ladies, lovely and richly dressed ;
they had no hats on. On one side
was a grand piano, Prof. BishofF, the
hlind organist and all his trained
vocalists, and on the other no less
than nine ministers of the gospel,
several of them being D. D's. Miss
Willard presided and she also made
the principal speech. Tho meeting
was opened by the singing of "Cor
onation" by all that vast concourse.
Then Dr. Lanahan, Mrs. Hayes's paB
tor, prayed. Miss Willard made a
most sparkling and eloquent speech ;
addresses were made by Miss Esther
Pugh, of New York, and Mrs. Fau
uie Barns, a sweet young Quakeress
of New York. Also by Mrs. J. E.
Foster, of Clinton, Iowa, and Mi6s
Alvord read telegrams of congratu
lation without number. The music
was grand. A collection was taken
up and the ladies came dowu from
the platform aud they made their
way with their baskets to the re
motest corners. At this point the
vast meeting took on the form of a
sociable, gentlemen from different
parts of the house reported the state
they hailed from amid keen remarks
until we became aware that we had
representatives from nearly every
state in the Union. Mrs. Garfield
sent a large basket of flowers which
was presented to Miss Willard at
the close of the meeting.
The painting was unveiled in a
magically queer way by the pulling
of a cord and Mrs. Hayes seemed to
fairly burst upon us. It was paint
ed by the artist Huntingdon and is
a full length life-size portrait, grace
fill aud queenly. It is an excellent
likeness ; she is represented as walk
ing in the garden of the White
House upon a marble pavement, and
she is dressed in a trained velvet
dress, garnet colored, with falling
lace sleeves, and it is cut square at
the neck and filled iu with lace; she
carries a bunch of roses and has no
ornaments whatever.
Towards the close of the meeting
ray friend assisted me to the plat
form and I enjoyed a pleasant chat
with many of theompany.
Mrs. Senator Blaine came on the
platform to be introduced to Miss
Willard.

Kociety Reporting
A Brooklyn editor engaged a fresh
reporter just from the country the
other day, and in consequence was
favored with the following descrip
tion of the costumes worn by the la
dies at an evening party : "Mary
Monroe, red frock, white sack and
hair bunched ; Emma Latrobe, yel
low dresB and hi;h-heeled slippers ;
Marion Willoughby, some kind of
thiu stuff, white and tied up with
blue tape, and hair frizzled ; Jennie
Jlurchinson, black clothes and a
feather in her hair; Ella Wexford,
red hair and gray suit, flat in front
and stuck out behind; Pauline Trea
ty, bigger'n a tub and dressed to the
top branch. She had on a velvet
outfit a mile long, and sixteen tows
of teeth on her gloves. Her hair
was a dead yellow, tied up like a
bun and had a lot of vegetables in
it. Florence Ross, green drees,
flipped with velvet and hoisted up
at the side with white check-rein ;
Vinnie Hammersley, white net work
with red streaks, walked with a
limp, and her hair frescoed."
Col. IngersolL says be has no war
to make on Delaware because of the
clamor some of .its .citizens are mak
ing against his -peculiar notions of
orthodoxy. He says he is not going
to strike at Delaware, because when
he wants to fight a state he prefers
one of his sire. He has no desire
to wring the neck of a "blue hen."
"I think," says he, -"a State that;calls
twenty quarts of peaches a bushel
ought to .talk. abou something else
than blasphemy."
"Yes," remarked a musical critic
recently from Kansas, "the .fiddlia';
was bully, but I tell yoa wheo that
fat chap with the big mustache laid
hold of that bass fiddle and went for
them notes in the violin-cellar, I
just felt as thongh a buzz saw was
playing Yankee Doodle on my backbone."

A few Thoughts and Suggestions
from an Old Settler, with 20
Years Experience Hand
ling Stock.
Mr. David Anderson, Our Energetic
- Live Stock Dealer, has Something
of Value to Offer for the
Benefit of Farmers and
Stock Raisers.
Editor Journal: By request I
submit a few points of information
gained by observation and expe
rience, which may bo of some benefit
to the husbandry of this section.
In the first place, every farmer
should set out a few acres of cotton
wood and box elder timber, on the
north, east and west of his build
ings. These trees are natives of the
soil and climate, and are of sure
growth, if set out properly as soon
as frost is out of the ground in the
spring. They will form a perfect
wind-break, and lodge the great
banks of snow away from the build
ings and yards during a rough
winter like the present, and will
also furnish fuel in distant years to
come.
All cereals should be planted early
and deep, except on low, wet soil.
Don't let the false idea that your
soil is fertile enough prevent you
from hauling all, the manure aud
waste stuff of the stables and cor
rals on to the laud during February
and March, when there is but little
else to do on the farm. Nature has
ordained the use of manure, and rest
assured every load of it is worth
two bushels of corn.
Raise more corn and oats, calves,
cattle and hogs; If your means are
limited, buy calves, yearlings and
brood sows to begin with. Hogs
increase aud multiply fast, and al
ways command a gooxl price. You
can't have too many of them, with
sufficient food to sustain them.
What would Nebraska have done
this year without the hog crop?
They constitute, in a great measure,
the wealth of the State.
Brod sows should, during preg
nancy, be kopt lean, aud in a warm,
clean place, with but little litter near
them, until the young make their
appearance, when both sow and little
pigs should be crowded with various
sorts of soft food. Salt and ashes
fed regularly to hogs and shoats are
conducive to good health. Young
hogs pile badly in cold and wet
weather, and should not be allowed
to bed iu manure piles, as they be
come overheated, and the ammonia
penetrating the pores of the skin
cauaeB them to catch cold very
quickly; too mauy should not be
allowed together. When hogs loose
their appetite, lie around and be
come drooping, they ar.e unwell,
and should be fed epsom salts or
Maxan'g hog medicine which I have
used extensively and successfully
for years. Hogs, like the human
family, are liable to disease, inci
dent to sudden changes .from heat
to cold.
There is no profit in raisiug stock,
unless it is properly handled ; ev
ery farmer should be well provided
with comfortable quarters 'for al) his
animals. Good water facilities are
indispensable; cold, ice-water once
a day, or probably once in two or
three days, won't answer. More an
imals in Nebraska became, lousy aud
feverish, dying of thirst, for want of
good waterand plenty of it, during
the winter, than from all other
causes. 1 have pumped water for
hours on a bitter cold uight, and was
well repaid in seeing my cattle drink
and fill themselves.
The black leg, a prevalent disease
among the thrifty young cattle, can
be prevented feeding Bait petre, (pul
verized) with salt, two or three
times a month during fall, winter
and spring. I never lost a calf with
that disease since I began the use of
salt petre years ago. I don't believe
there exists an effectual cure, after
the animal is severely attacked.
Another matter, and I am done
for the present. Let farmers cut
and cure all the hay coine-atable,
every season, cure well, top out the
stacks safely, then, if the following
winter proveB open and favorable,
you may have a surplus for the next
winter, which may prove the re
verse; utilize the corn fodder and
straw there is value in it all, the
little details of a farm count, and are
always looked after carefully by the
sagacious, industrious and frugal
farmer.
l.aad ia England.
Behind the land question in Eng
laud is the question of habits. The
laud is held in these great tracts, not
for enjoyracntbut from. pride- The
brains of men are so equal, under
modern facilities of education, that
hereditary descent would be incon
sequential if it did not have heredi
tary estate to advertise the fact ; and
consequently every parvenu in the
nobility rushes to buy land at a
ridiculous price, so that he can ap
pear on the landscape of the country
among the sous of Normans. For
the greater part of -the year an Eng
lish estate is not fit to live on, on
account of the climate, and there is
plenty of land to be had for less
than $1 per acre on the steppes of
the Rocky mountains more agreea
ble for hunting, for residence, and
for every other enjoyment, than the
best land In England.
No life can be pure in its purpose
and strong in its strife, and all life
not be purer and stronger, thereby.
Filial Li ore.
There is not on earth a more love
ly sight than the unwearied care and
attention of children to their par
outs. Where filial love is found in
the heart, wc will answer for all the
other virtues. No young man or
woman will turn out basely, we sin
cerely believe, who has parents
respected and beloved ; a child, af
fectionate and dutiful, will never
bring the gray hairs of its parents
to the grave. The wretch who
breaks forth from wholesome res
traint, and disregards the laws of
his country, must have first dis
obeyed his parents, showing neither
love nor respect for them. It is sel
dom the case that a dutiful son is
found in the ranks of vice, among
the wretched and degraded. Filial
love will keep men from sin and
crime. There will never come a
time while your parents live, when
you will not be uuder obligations to
them. The older they grow the
more need will there be for your
assiduous care and attention to their
wants. The venerable brow and
frosty hair speak loudly to thg love
and compassion of the child. If
Bickness and infirmity make them
at times fretful, bear with them pa
tiently, not forgetting that time ere
long may bring you to need the same
care and attention.
Friend Whom we Never
Knew.
It is proper, it is necessary ; one
must wait for introductions. One
must not know any one whom some
one else knows he does not know ;so
we pas each other without speak
ing aud crush our fancies for stran
gers as though they were serpents.
Yet often it happens in life that
the very people we do not know are
the people wc desire to recognize;
that we feel a strong liking for some
one to whom we have never spoken ;
that none of the people on our vis
iting list arc so agreeable as sonic
persou whose name we have never
heard ; that life might be brighter to
its eud if we could only obey our
impulses and choose our friends
when we meet them ou the road of
life.
I have no doubt that mauy a bach
elor lives wifeless all his days, be
cause he was never introduced to
the woman who would have suited
him, and that many aspinBter might
have been a happy wife had there
been some one near who knew both,
to say to the gentleman who was
so obliging about the trunks: "Miss
Jones, allow me to introduce to you
Mr. Brown."
Hfo Time.
"I have no time to devote to my
children," says the business man,
with a sigh ; for he really feels the
privatiou of their society keenly.
But the excuse is an insufficient oue ;
he should make time let other du
ties go, for no duty is more impor
tant than that he owes his offspring.
Parents should never fail to give the
child such .sympathy in its little mat
ters of life as will produce in its con
fiding mind that trust and faith
which is a necessary element in pa
ternal influence. Filial affection Is
a great safe-guard against evil in
fluences, as well as a great civilizer
to its possessor. Do not forget, too.
that the childish mind, in process of
divelopm.en.t, .absolutely needs the
cheerful and happy influences which
are produced by amusements, as
sure as the plant needs sun and light
for its proper growth.
Sleep Tor Children.
There is no danger that children
can sleep too much. The old pro
verb, "he who sleeps, eats," is illus
trated in those little ones who sleep
most. Wakeful children are almost
always peevish, irritable and lean.
If they can be induced to sleep abun
dantly, they are quite likely to be
come good-natured and plump.
Their sleep should be as much dur
ing the hours of darkness as possible,
and therefore it is better that they
should go to bed before sunset to
have their sleep out, than to lie long
after sunriso in the morning. It is
well to let any healthy, growing
child or young person sleep until he
wakes himself, and give him such
variety and amouut of out-door ex
ercise as shall make him glad when
bedtime returns.
A minister with a rather florid
complexion went into the shop of a
barber, one of his parishioners, to be
shaved. The barber was addicted
to heavy bouts of drinking, after
which his hand was, in consequence,
unsteady at his work. In shaving
the minister he inflicted a cut suf
ficiently deep to cover the lower
part of his face with blood. The
minister turned to the barber and
said, in a tone of solemn severity,
"You see, Thomas, what comes of
taking too much drink." "Ay," re
plied Thomas, with the utmost com
posure; "it makes the skin very
tender."
When the xld, sailor 'came .home
from a whaling voyage, he saw at
once what ailed the preaching. The
minister's smart enough, and be says
a great many good things, but the
sermon don't .have any harpoon in
it." The farmer meant the same
thing when he said, "He's a, good
man but he will rake with tbe teeth
up."
Low as the grave is, only faith can
climb high enough to see beyond it
