' "To say that malaria 5.3 mfscJifcvnu
is to put it very mildly. It is nil that
nncl more. , , It is cv.nninjr , deceitful ,
treacherous , sly , and underhanded.
It docs its work in the dark , and m
sucli a sly way that much of the mis
chief is done before it is discovered.
It saps the foundations of a healthy
system. It robs the blood of its vital
ity , demoralizes the liver , confounds
the stomach , and makes the victim
wish he were in his grave. It is sad
toscc pcoplcsit down in their misery ,
content to be the victims of mischiev
ous malaria , and thinking that noth
ing can be done for them. The power
of BROWN'S ' IRON BITTERS over the
mischiefs of malaria has been so am
ply proved that there is no reason
why anybody who can procure a
"bottle of this Prince of Tonics shall
suffer. Great is the power of malaria ,
and great arc its disastrous effects.
But greater far is the beneficent in
fluence of BROWNS IRON BITTERS.
The preparation ofiron in this favor
ite family remedy 'can be taken
without ruining the teeth or produc
ing constipation and headache , i

WAITER LOGAN'S BRIDE ,
The Slory of a Ruantic Marriage ,
fl. Clni'liinnllnt' WoiMIng nt a Now
Mexican Indian Hcliool.
Cincinnati Kwiulrcr.
Mr Walter T. Logan of this city and
lias Joltnuio Stinnon of TopokaKansas ,
rcro married several days ago by the
iov. .lames A. Monaul nt the Indian
ohool at Albuquerque , Now Mexico ,
i'lio groom needs no introduction , Ho
s a well-known son of a belter-known
ire , and comes from a family that has
> ctn : famous in both the law and the
ramn , A fondncsss for the otago led
> Valtcr to forsake the nttorucy'n office
lOiuo years ngo and adopt the stage in
tend. Ho did not make the metropolis
ing with praises for his merits , and some
nonthft after he landed thcro ho met his
laloriml on the street. It wns the first
imo ho had seen or hoard from his flon
since his disnpjKsaranoo from Cincinnati.
Walter had not been living in liixuryand
ho abandoned the glare of the footlights
and rotuniod his to first love , IJIackslono.
The mirringo was a romantic ono , and
Tim Morning Journal of Albuquerque
gives the story in full : "Among the so
ciety young ladies of Topeka was one
Johnnie Stinson. Her father is dead ,
but hur mother , two married sisters and
n brother reside in the capital city of the
state of Kanbas. Logan had mot Miss
Slinson coino few years ago , and , as thcii
ncquaintanco became bettor , love showc (
its winged figure , and all was bliss froii
that ( sine forward. Miss Ktinson's family
v/or approached with the secret of the
lovom , but a stern no was the answer to
every proposition. An engagement foi
. lowed , despite the o "high in authority. '
- , Ono of the married sisters of Miss
Slinnon favored the suit of young Logan
while all the remaining members of the
, family would not even listen to his
pleadings , and thus matters stood , whoi
n month ngo Mrs. Senator Logan obtain
cd for the young man an appointment as
nupcrintcndont of Indian schools at the
Navajo reservation. Before leaving Chicago
cage the young gentleman notified his
intended that on account of lung troubles
with which ho was suffering , ho had de
cided to accept the appointment above
mentioned , and would very soon start for
Now Mexico. In the mean time Logan
received a dispatch from Indian Agetil
D. M. Kiordan , inquiring as to the possi
bility of securing some suitable person
in Chic/igo / for the position of matron.
Hero was the chance ho was waiting for ,
and , "Will my wife do ? " was the tele
gram he sent to Kiordan , but the long-
expected , wished-for answer never came.
And hero a little by-play comes in. The
porator at Chicago who received the
ucBsago had a mother. Agent Kiordan
lad sent for a matron. Why should not
the mother accept that position , and
forthwith Mr. Operator sent off a tele
gram making the necessary application.
But right hero a new complication arose.
The operator at Manuelito who scut the
message for Kiordan also had a mother ,
und he mndo the usual application and
also took the precaution to notify the
Chicago operator that if the first dispatch
"md not yet boon delivered to Logan to
i old it , as other arrangements had been
made.
The best laid plans of men ami mice oft
_ o astray , however , and so it was in the
case of the two oporatora , for Agent Hior-
dun soon telegraphed to Logan : "Bring
your wife. " The dispatch wan never < lo-
livorcd to the -anxious vouniriuaii. and ho
: ott umcflgo witn a very heavy heart ,
snowing full well that . . ho should only
mvo an opportunity to say "How do you
do" and "Good-by" to the young lady as
the train stopped for a few moments nt
Topoka.
The young man came west , and after
itopping in this city for only a day or
two , went on out to the field of his now
labors , the Navajo country. It was then
i.hat ho found out for the first time of
Ag ont Iliordan's telegram , tolling him to
bring his wife. No time was to bo lost
now. Ho hurried back to Albuquerque ,
anc. after writing "W. A. Logan , Fort
Wmgato , N. M. , upon the register at the
Windsor , almost How to the telegraph of-
'ico and notified his anxious love that she
ihould start immediately and that he
ihould bo ready to greet her at the de
pot in the city.
The now very happy gentleman start
ed out to hunt Prof. Bryan , he who pro-
aides so ably over the affairs at the Indian
school in this city. Happily the professor
ser wns not far away , and ho was quick
y informed by the would-be married
nan of the state of affairs.
The professor had just gone through r
imilarsiogo himself , and ho piomisod
all the assistance in his power. J t was
arranged between Prof. Bryan and his
wife that the wedding should take place
at the Indian school , and forthwith Rev.
lames E. Monaul was applied to anil
readily consented to tie the knot. When
Misa Johnnie wns ready to leave her
homo n little stratagem had to be rcsoit-
od to in order that she might moot hin
whom she in hereafter to "lovo urn
obey. "
"I am going to Sterling , " said the
would-bo bride , "and 1 don't know jus
how long 1 may bo away. " This was the
ruse , and it worked to perfection , fo
when the north bound train arrived Mis
Johnnie Stinson was ono of the passon
gurs , and at the depot to welcome he
were l'iof. and Mra. Bryan , Nov..lame
A. Mcnaul , and last , but by no moan
least , the happy , happy man. The
whole party wore driven to the Indiai
school , and there Walter and his John
niu wpro married , After the coromon ;
the bride sent the following telegram t
her married sister at Topeka :
"MitH. C , B. HAMILTON , Topokn , Kan
sns : Wo are ready to receive congrntu
lations. WALTKH AND JOIINKIK. "
The happy counlu are still registered a
thcjWindsor at Albuquerque. Both hrid
and groom have Indian blood in the !
veins , Miss Stinson claiming to bo do
sccndcd from the Shawncos , while th
claims of Senator Logan's family ar
well known all over the United States. . ,

Kxpross trains are the subject of a remarkable
markablo contribution to The Statistics
Society's journal this month. According
to the author , high spoedjby grains is con
ducivo to great care and the finest work
on the part of railway onginoora. Id
thinks , in short , that in tfio matter o
railwr-y speed , "Jf 'twere well that i
wore done , 'twere well it wore done
quicly. " The tendency evidently ia to
wards greater speed. During the last tei
year * the average speed of express trains
has increased ttvo and u half milus m
hour , while the weight of the tiaius
muled is on the average nearly half as
ntich again as it was ten years ago. The
ormula may bo adopted , and apparently
ith truth ; mechanical energy increases
s the square of the speed the bettor the
ork.

Judge Lcoiiidai C. Hotik , who hasi'ep-
csonted the second district of Tonncsco
n congress for several terms , is ono of
nest genial gentlemen in the house , nnd
i great favorite with everybody. There
, s a peculiarity which pursues him how-
ovcrj which creates fun wherever ho goes.
ilr. Houk nlways wears the regulation
silk hat , and hardly a day passes that ho
lees not change head-gear with some ono.
Ono day last rpring he dropped into the
ollicoof a prominent treasury official with
a glossy now tile , which ho deposited on
the mantle. Senator Logan was just con
cluding a confidential chat , and , ns ho
shook hands with Judge Houk and hur
ried out , ho picked up the Tonnescean'B
new hat and clapped in on his head ,
leaving behind in exchange a rathrr bat-
tcrcd-up tile that had seen hard service.
Judge Houk finished his business , and ,
crowning himself with the senator's head
gear without noticing its appearance , pro
ceeded to another department , when ho
unconsciously tiadcd "tiles" vrith a cabi-
nont officer.
Once more that day the same thing oc
curred , and when Judge Houk Breached
his hotel ho was somewhat astonished to
find Senator Logan's hat and polite note
from the cabinet officer , stating that ho
had made a mistake and inadvertently
taken the wront ; hat ; that Judge Honk's
liat was forwarded therewith , nnd the
return of his own was requested. Takitif ,
off the hat ho had on , the Judge was
amazed to find the name of the thei
commissioner of internal rovonun neatly
pasted therein , and upon examining thai
the messenger bore , wns astonished to
find in it the bold signature , "John A.
Logan. "
Then the fatality that had haunted his
ifo came into his mind , and with a hearty
align , ho said : "Toll General Blank
.hat this is not my hat , and I have noj
; ot his. There a something wrong ,
.hough , and 1 will try and unravel it to-
norrow. "
The Judge has another now hat this
session , but inside the crown , in letters
an inch long , is inscribed this legend
'This is my hat. Houk , of Tennessee. "

Tlio First Uno of Cubic Cars.
San FraticlldTt'hrdtilclo. ' '
Ton years ago last August the first cable
car climbed slowly up the stoop slope ol
31 ay atroot hill. A largo crowd hac
gathered to witness the surprising spec
tacle , and there wore prophecies on al
lands that no grip and no brakes couli
u.ird against accidents on such a steep
incline. It was a short road , barely a
milo in length. The steepest ascending
; rado was 1 in Ii 15-100 foot ; the machin
ery was an endless stool wire rope , throe
inches in circumference and 1,000 feel
iong , laid in iron tubes and supported
every thirty-nine foot on olovon-inch
sheaves ; the trip was the simplest , bul
mo of the most effective that has ever
been invented ; each train consisted'ol
ono dummy or grip-car , and a regular
covered passenger car , both together cal
culated to seat thirty passengers , but , like
the average street car , capable of holdinj.
an indefinite number. The speed of th ;
; ablu wns six miles an hour , or , counting
For stoppages , .ho cars made about live
miles an hour. The motive power was
furnished by ono M.\23 engine and a
Ijoilor Jix5I ( inches in size , using : t,70C
pounds of coal a day. This was the
modest equipment of the pioneer cable
road in this city. The first trial provcc
a success. The heavy brakes on the rear
end of the car would have prevented any
accident had the gripping nttachmenl
been found detective ; but there never has
occurred any accident , von when the car *
have carried ns man } ' as 1JO ( passengers
on each trip. Ono grip-man and ono
conductor were detailed to each train
ami the necessary shifting from ono track
to the other was made by a simple turn
table.
No material changes have been made
in this road in the ten years that it ha
been in successful operation. For throe
years it was without a rival and did a
very heavy bushiest ) , as it furnished the
only convenient means of reaching the
hill resiliences. Property which before
was unsalable now rapidly advanced ii
value , and there wns a building boom ii
certain quartern never before equaled it
this city. Ono of the chief objection
urged ngainst the road by its critics wa
that it would run down and kill a larg
number of people in the course of a year
nnd that the opening above the cable , 01
loyof blocks where there was much travel
would load { o many accidents on accotin
of the wheels of vehicles catching in the
groove. Both these predictions speedily
proved to bo false. Although the roai
runs for two blocks through the heart o
Cninatown , where the streets swarm will
Celestials at all hours of the day and un
til far into the night , few serious occi
dents have occurred not more thai
would have happened on a surface horse
car line in any city of this size. The fea
of accidents to vehicles was also shown t
bo groundless , but to prevent any chanc
of such mishaps the legislature passed
law providing that the opening eve
cables in street-railroads should not exceed
coed three quarters of an inch in width.

There is considerable soft corn in No

farmers go so far as to say the yield does
not reachmoro than half acrop. Onogath

about fifty bushels per acre , which liai
but little soft corn in it , but docs no
think ho will have much more than hal
as much as he raised last year , taking his
farm altogether.
Our farmers are worried about their
corn. While the season has been vcrj
unfavorable to drying it out , Ihcy cai
liavo an abundance of good , marketable
corn if they will take pains to sort it ; see
that it i \r ell ventilated and all husks
and silk are taken oft' in husking. The
corn that was most damaged last year was
that in which many husks and much silk
wore thrown into the cribs. Do clean
liusking and save your corn. [ York

busy gathering corn , and it has boon sug

General Notes.
Though the apple crop of Michigan" wa
poor , pcara yielded handsomely , aw
quinces , too , were a good crop.
Lumber , judiciously used about th
barn and sheds , in the shape of shelter
is cheaper than hay and grain for winter
ing farm stock.
Form and sustain clubs , wherever it i
possible , for the discussion of farm nmi
tors. Boar in mind Umt local oxporionc
is of much more vnluu than genera
treatise.
Cellars of the house must sometime
bo used for storing vegetables and fruit
though this should be avoided if pos
aible , It is well to have n thermomoto
in the cellar , and to keep the temperature
turo as near thiry-fivo degrees as pos
ail > lo. Cover all roots in a dry colln
with dry earth , to prevent wilting ,
Mr , Ilussol Heath , Caspentoria , Cal.
has an "English walnut orchard" of two
hundred acres of rich , level land , nun
the seashore , The trees are from ten to
twenty-five years planted. Ilia crop ii
S82 was COO sacks of 70 pounds each ;
its season ho * expects the harvest n ill ng-
regale about one-third more.
Harness should never bo hung in the
erse stable , and yet this it almost the
niycrsal practices. There is always
noisturo from the lungs and manure of
lie animal , ' , and the finest , therefore ,
most offensive dust in the stable. More
lian this , the g.iscs arising from the ma
il ro nro very damaging , rapidly rotting
lie harness.
There wns n great increase in the
.mount of live and dead moat arriving in
jivcrpool during the week ending No-
ember 21. The total supply amounting
o l,72fp cattle , fiM sheep , 10,478 quar-
crs of beef and 1,25" carcassess nf unit-
on , against a total of 3,100 cattle , 3,008
heep , 8,831 quarters of beef , and 70S
arcisscs of mutton for the previous
vcek.
Notwithstanding the fact that the live
lock of the country is worth $2,000,000- ,
100 , the number of skilled veterinary
mrgcona is lamentably inadequate. It
iaa been stated on good authority that in
, ho whole United States there are not
educated veterinary surgeons enough to
supply ono in each city , to say nothing of
, ho country districts.
Somt > of the exhibitors of sheep at the
hicago Fat Stock show , recently held in
that city , have been accused of trimming
and coloring the fleeces of their sheep to
make them appear to advantage. A fa
vorite trick is to use the shear ! ) and trim
the fleece so that an animal of ordinary
style can bo made to appear faultlessly
symetrical. If true it is not only a trick
but a fraud , and deserves to bo de
nounced.
At a recent convention of sheep-breed
era and wool-growers , held in Philadel
phia , Mr. J. L. Hayes advised farmers to
go ahead and raise sheep in the best way
to got the most money fortheir eircasses ,
and to lot the wool take care of itself.
Regard the sheep merely as machines foi
converting grass , roots , and grain in the
shortest possible time into mutton , with
wool as the more incident. Aiming foi
the best mutton will got the best wool ,
this is the system in England the great
est mutton-producing and combine-wool
producing country in the world.
A farmer who has tested five different
varieties of peas , according to the catalogue
loguo from which ho made his selections
last spring , now finds that thcro is not the
slightest difference in any of them. In
carlincss , manner of growth , height pi
plant , length of pods , number of peas in
a pod in fact , in every particular , the
alleged different varieties proved to boone
ono and the same. The farmer thus vic
timized pertinently asks : "nave seed
men the right to give now and catching
names to old varieties and to bewilder and
mislead the public by offering the same
article under five different agents. "
Dried apricots are likely to bo a prom
incut article of export from California.
Heretofore this fruit has been put up al
most entirely in tin cans , but in consequence
quence "of over-production the canning
factories reduced the price paid to the
farmer to such a figure that ho was driv
en to experimenting with various pro
cesses of drying , and discovered a meth
od that leaves the fruit in a delicious
state. California fruit-growers are now
ijoing largely into apricot-drying , but it
is thought they never will produce more
than the markets of the United States
alone are prepared to consume.
The Dairy is authority for stating that
a hen has but so many eggs in her body
to lay in a lifetime. Skilled work will
get most of these eggs out of her in two
ynars..or she may loaf away five or six
years in producing tno same number. If
she has been induced to part with the
profitable proportion of her lay in two
years she is then ready for the cook and
will niako a much bettor roaster than she
will if allowed to got older. Quick \york
means more profit in both her capacities
as layer and roaster.
Professor Knapp , of Iowa , in discuss
ing the question of how to bring colts to
maturity , best prepared for many years
of usefulness , claims that the farmers and
horsemen of Iowa , waste § 15,000,000
per annum by over feeding their colts and
young horses. He also argues that two
quarts > f oats and two oars of corn twice
day is liberal feeding , but the colt
would oat twice as much and not bo so
strong. Giving more grain makes rapid
growth , but is like stuffing an animal for
market. When you desire to produce
liorscs for endurance or breeding they
must bo matured more slowly. Barren-
icss can ha produced nine times out of
ien by this stuffing process. It ruins the
iioalth of stock of all kinds.
