This Is a very trying season of the yea for farncra' teams. The work is driving is all heavy , with no off days except San day , and all of them do not enjoy tha season of rest. As an exchange says , the wlso farmer knows that during tprlng's work and plowing tlmo , his teams wll run down rapidly unless they have extra and care , the latter Is qulto as Important as the former. It costa tnoro to restore run-down animals than to keep them in jood condition , while a toara well fed and cared for will do moro and bettor work. The troar of the work now coraos most icavlly on the muaolcs , and the food shonld not only bo aufliclont , batrlch _ in nitrogenous or mmclo produciog-olo- mcnts. Corn Is very generally used as Jio concentrated feed for horses in the west. This Is n mistake , atnco corn is a at and heat-producing food. Oats , peas and barley , mixed with aomo corn , shonld constitute the grain food for farm or car- iago horses , especially In warm weather. Every ono familiar with the tough spirit ed "French horses" of Oaiuda , knows heir grain feed is chiefly oils and poas. lonco they ara strong and enduring and ire eonorally preferred above all others > y the city struct railway companies. Mr. Stewart says a good summer ra > ion for work horses Is sixteen pounds of cats and corn in equal quantities , ground ogother , with twelve ponnds of cut bay. tame English and European anthorl- los make a ration of ton to twelve quarts of oats , six to eight pounds of hay , with itraw and steamed chaff. The chaff can > o fed in cities or on farms haying steam ppliancos , while good clean straw , finely nit , can bo fed on nny farm , thongh note o work homes.

' ' THIS OAT1IO lA'o'uNI VERSITY. Iho Proposed New Institution at Washington to uottun on a. Grand Scale. Tbo acopa of the Catholic University to bo founded in Washington ia surprls- ini as it becomes known. The instltn- tion 17111 ba called the Amorlcin Univer sity. Its profeaaora will bo sought in Europe , and none but men of world-wide reputation will ba ottered chain. Bishop Ireland , who has had principal charge thus far of the preliminary work of selecting - ing a alto and drawing np the charter which will ba asked of congress next winter , says that in the choice of the faculty the matter of religion will have no part. There will be a thoolrglcil school , over which It la rnmored Bishop Spauldlng of Peoria will preside. There will also bo schools for law. medi cine , science , history , philosophy , and all the rare and far advanced branches of instruction known rather to instructions on the continent than to the few that wo call nniverilliea in America. The men who will occupy chaiis In thrse nchools will bo eolccted without regard to ration , and wo may see a faculty so conglomerated that oven Bob Ingersoll , If ho had the brains and systematic cnl tnro of a scholar , wonld not deem out of of place. The site choeou Is the old Mlddloton estate , east of the Soldiers' Ucnio , and a part of that beauti ful rolling plateau which is Wash ington's largest and neat beautiful park. It contains fifty-eleven acres. Near It is a pretty llttlo station on the Metro politan branch of the Baltimore & Po tomac railroad , The general elope faces the Bladembnrg turnpike , which , by a iloaaant dtlvo of two miles pist Glen- rood cemetery and Edgwood , the old jbaso estate , takes ono Into town. The niilding will begin early next year. The irst structure will not bo the largest , but will cost $150,000. , Each ttudent will be provided with a suite of rooms fully furnished , and there will bo a club jomniona on the grounds , where the beat board may bo had. No student will be admitted to the medical or law school except on a diploma from another school of accredited standing. The work in. tended In science , especially in chemistry , engineering and abstruse mathematics , will bo abreast with that done In the leading Gorman universities. The en dowment now in sight la nearly $1,000- 000. The founders will not bo content with a support insufficient to produce an Income of from ? 300,000 to $500,000 a year , which Is the aggregate out-go for njr nno of the leading universities of England and Germany , The sihrlcs of the professors will tango from $5,000 to $10,000 , , and there will go with them the board and lodgings for such no may d o- sire to take up residence In the univer sity buildings , Early In the coming fall a committee will bo sent to Europe , charged with the duty of Inviting schol ars to cbalrs in the f icully , and it la in. tended that the university shall bo sot In operation aa early in the coming year as pprslble. Temporary buildings and pro visional apparatus will bo oooarod for the parpoeo , Died Fighting. City of Mexico Two llepublicj. A wild ttory comes in from Perlban , Mlchoacan. Three well-mounted and well-armed men stopped at an inn to p&oa the night. The woman who kept the place advieed the authorities that three suspicions men bad called at her houce. The protident of the city coun cil tnd the judge , with a few citizens , went to the house to ice the suiplclona characters. But the three men locked themselves In tholr room and refused to bo interviewed. A crowd of citlzjua collected , but nhon they appeared they were greeted with a volley from the thro men. An assault was then made on thi room , and the prisoners , breaking out o the door , fought their way through th crowd , using their revolvers and dagger * The crowd followed closely after the fa glllvos and many shots were exchanged Finally ono of the follows dropped avon when dying ho turned over a ired on his pursuers , A. tocond fell 'ow steps farther on , fighting bird. The third , sheltering himself behind a rock , made It hot for his purauors , and though often wounded , fought on with scarcely enough strength to draw h's ' rifle to hla honldor. Called on to surrender , ho mly ropllod with a ballot , which relieved ho president cf his hat. The crowd losed in around him as the death mlsl was passing over his oyes. Still ho tried , o pull the trigger of his tide for a part- ng shot , but llfo and strength failed ilm. The corpses were burled In Porl- > an. They were supposed to bo a part f Marclal Bravo's bandit troop. During ho fight the citizens bad fired 200 shots , nd of these nearly twenty had taken fleet on the bandits , who were torn to > iecos by the terrible storm of load. overal of the citizens were woundod. The bandits died like legendary heroes. A PHANTOM KNG1NEEK. Oomo 15 ck From the Grave to Save n Train Jim Pace's Grave Story. Now York Trlbnne. . It is only a ghost .story.

Y. , correspondent to the Now York San , witnessed the scqnol of an Interest ing romance In rtal llfo. Carolina Mather Letter was the daughter of a wealthy sanker of Rcbo ter , N. Y , She wa iducated at n leading institution in NOT York city , .where she bccuno proficien n lit least five languages , which she could apeak and -rrrlto with ilacncy. She pea- cased great personal beauty , and an ad mirable disposition that made friends of all with whom she came In contact. In .805 , on the death of her father , she came with her mother to Amhcrat , where ho lived with her unolo. Prof. Tyler , of Amhorat college. In 1870 in company vlth her mother , she wont abroad. While In Paris she made the acquaintance of a man who styled himself Count MIt clowlcz , a member of the Russian noblll y. His name In fall Is Eagono Oicar 2milo Constantine Mltklowlcz. Ho was torn in 1850 in St. Petersburg , and was ho third son of Coant Ivan Ivanovlcz klilklowlcz , an ofilccr of the Russian : onrt. At the tlmo ho made Miss Lea' er's acquaintance ho was yoang and of iloaslng address , She became Infatuated nth him , and ho professed to rotnrn her ovo. Miss Lester returned to America , and ras soon followed by the count , whoso ovo-making was of the moat ardent char- ctor. The young lady's friends and elativea were greatly opposed to the natch , and did everything In their power .0 . break It oil" , but at length , her nothor's consent having | bcon obtained , lie woddlng took place on April 30 , 872. The local paper , printed a few ays later , gave a glowing account of the woddlng , which was a most elaborate ono. 'wo marriage ceremonies were per- ormod , the first by a Raman Catholic irleat , and the second by Rector Allen , f the Episcopal church. The brldo was ; iven away by the Hon. Lucius Bolt- rood , and Mrs. Bottwood officiated as irldesmaid. After the wedding the > rldogroom famished his friends with a hoico collation of cake , wlno , and cigars t the Amherst house. After the mar- lago the count and his wife traveled .hrough . the country , living in the best tylo , his wife furnishing the money to > ay tlui bUls. The same programme was epoated in sover.il European citiea. The sount scattered money Hko a princo. By its testimony in court the other day it was proven that ho had spent some $50- , 00 from his wife's estate , besides $150- 00 advanced by his mother-in-law. Ho was _ at ono tlmo engaged in a money- risking schamo known aa the "Rook 'oint Oyater Company , " whcso head- uartors were at Linciater wharf , Great VIcomioo bay , Potomac rlvor , bat hia enius was to spend money rather than mm it , and ho paid little attention to ) ualness. In epito of his spendthrift ays his wlfo continued to love him , and ley were over an affectionate couplo. ' 'ine children wore born to them , ono of boa died whllo the family was in En- opo , end anotaer , aged 2 years , died a aw weeks ago , Some months ago the family came to imhoisi to reside , living at the Amherst outc. Hero the countess , aa eho wai Iways called bore , waa taken 111 and died n April 21. The count la said to have e < m a devoted husband daring his ife's Illnoja , but visitors to the local llllard room expressed surprise to see Im every evoulng , np to the day of her oath , and afterward , engaged at bis avorlto game of pool , smoking cigarettes nd eoemingly cirjntj more about the amo than all other earthly interests. In appearance the count is rather 3ove the medium height , his a good gure and sports Dundreary whlakerj , of sandy hue. Ho ia a good specimen of 10 Chevalier do 1'Industrlo , and his so oty Is much affected by students and hose who think a title excuses anything n n man. The proceedings at the probate court ore In reference to the appointment of guardian for the children. There is an state of about $25,000 left to them , and n the death of their grandmother , Mrs. jester , they will receive about $100,000. he ojnnt knew that he was able to pro- 'Ide for the children , and waa willing to ave a guardian appointed , bat ho do led to select the man. To this Mrs. tester demurred , and the court , on bor etlttou , appointed as guardian the Rev. Dr. Howland Ayers , of Hadloy. Improvements in Travelling , The adoption of a tlmo table on the Now Ycrk Central route to the west , hlch lands the trivolor In Chicago on 'uesday morning at the same hour of 10 day on which he left New York on ilonday morning , marks a long stop for- vard In the development of speed on American railroads. For two or throe ears the Now York Central and the 'ennsylvouia Central have each run a Dcciol through fast train known as the Chicago Limited , " which made the trip n shorter tlmo than wan over before mo nil. Tbo Pennsylvania line recently mocked elf an hour and a half of the lorlod previously allot'cd , and the Now rork Central baa now followed suit , loreafter , therefore , one baa his choice jotweon two trains , which start at 0 and :50 : a. m. , and promlao to roach Chicago t the same hour the following morning , From Now York to Chicago by the 'ennajlvanta route is a distance of 012 miles , by the Now York Central 080 niles. Ostensibly these trains cover the ( stance In exactly 24 honraaj the hands n the clock should occupy the tame po- Ition when the traveller reaches Chicago s when ho loft New York the previous morning Really , the space of time ia wenty-fivo hours , as the train lo&vos lero by "Eastern tlmo , " and arrive In Chicago by "Central time. " which is ixty mlnutoa slower. Tbo average peed by the Pennsylvania line it thus liuoat precisely 36 miles per hour , while by the moro northern route it is t ) 1 5 milea. This latter speed la the ilt'hobt over attempted for a long dls- anco In the United States , and is conao- uontly an achievement which commands otlce. Ono only gets an adequate Idea of the real progress which onr railroads have uade In the matter of speed during the ast dozen or fifteen yaara by stumbling over eomo old traveler/ guide , and com- taring the tlmo tables then In vogue with ho present oehodulea. Such a contraut a worth making for a few of the moro mportaot routes. In 1870 the fastest r&ln frrm Now York to Philadelphia consumed three hours and fifteen min utes , and oven then left one of the out skirts of the town ; 1885 the ninety miles tro covered In a couple of hours , and the .rdvolor la landed In the heart of Phila delphia , Fifteen years ago the ahorteai time between Now York and Boston was eight hours aud twenty mitmtea ; now the trip is made In but aix hours , la 1870 it took at the lea& eight hours and forty minutes to go from New York to Wash ington ; alx hours and five minutes now anffico. Fifteen years ago St. Lculs wa forty s'x ' hours from Now York , and No' ' Orleans o'ghty-iir boors nway ; notr I requires only thirty-four hours to rtaor St. Lotm , and but fifty hours tor th trip to New Orleans , Thoio comparisons are sufficient to Illustrate the extent of the progress which baa been for the moat cart so grad ual that its importance is not easily ap preciated except by anch a contrast. Im provements in roadbed , the abolition of ; rado crossings , and better rolling stock mvo been the chief agencies in bringing ibout the change. The cutting down of inio has bean accompanied by other im ; rovomcnt , which ndd no lets to the omfort of the traveler. The cm nowa days ran moro smoothly than formerly , and the marked diminution in jolting la n very decided Belief In a long journey , A batter system of ballasting the tracks has bom accomplished toward securing the admission of fresh air Into a car without bringing In a cloud of smoke and chidora , The comfort with which a thouaatd miles can bo travoriod on snch a train n.1 the "Chicago limited , " with oaaily tunning parlor and sleeping ens ami excellent meals served after a chilizad fashion in a dining oar , was hardly dreamed of fifteen years n o. Even the rallroid catiug housa of hateful memory at lust shows algns of getting out of Itj old dytpep tlo ruts. The experienced traveler reports ports each year a largo number of places whore tolerable and even good meals are to bo procured , whllo a few alas ! too few rallroid companies are making thla branch of tholr service worthy of high praise. Some enterprising companies are also building stations which , so far from being an oilonco to the eye , oven have claims to beauty. Nothing coald well bo raoro depressing than the average depot of a generation ago ; now there are nt least a few lines on which the stations ind the grounds about them ate grateful to the weary traveler. But , after all , a beginning only has yet joen madoi The fastest trains are yet ; oo slow. It still takes inach longer ban it should to pass between Now York ind Boston. By the shortest route the distance is bat 213 miles , aud the tlmo jonsumed ought to bo nearer four hours ; han six will bo oouio day , wo do not ionbt. Almost ao much should be said regarding the 228 mlloa between Now i'ork and Washington. Creditable aa Is ; ho now schedule of the western roads , ; wonty-four , or r lhor twenty-five , lours are still too many for a distance of ess. than a thousand miles. A man ought ; o bo able ta spon 1 the whole forenoon , at least , in Now York , acd still reach Chicago by the opouiug of business lours the next morning. The high est rate of speed required to meet those ienunds wonld not equal that already reaohad by many trains in Great Britain. Dho Great Northern express from Loa- 3on to Manchester requires but four loura and fifteen minutes , although the listance M 203 ralloj , or nearly aa great 11 that between Now York and Boston ; ffhllo the slowast exproasaa over thla English road travel moro rapidly than he quickest trains to Boston. The fastest rain between London and Glasgow : overs the 440 miles in 10 hears and 20 nlnntos , or at an average speed of 42t nlles per hour , at a rate which if main" alnod between Now York and Chicago Tonld cat off between throe and four lours from even the now schedule. The fact fs the American public is just nvaken'ng ' to a sense of the improve- nonts possible In travelling by rail. As imo becomes constantly worth more noney , the demand for faster trains will ncreaoo , while , as the rawness of lational youth wears off , the utility of > eauty in the accessories of travel will locome moro manifest. Encouraging as s the progress that ban been made in the ast fifteen years , it will be strange if the lext fifteen years do not bring still .rcater changes. The traveler in 1000 vlll doubtless look back upon his prode- ossor o 1885 with as mnch pity as the atter to-day bestows upon him of 1870.
