Jlr. llnrnos continued under redirect ex amination , corroborating and strength- oiling Ills former oldence. A very Im portant witness named llvnns , who , at tliK time of lloilmiin's departure from Lincoln on Ills tour that has now become celebrated , was deputy shorlfVnnd lived at Firth , testilied that when Hodman. yaa In 1'iitli in the early day * of hi" trip in pos e Mon of Mr Harncs' horsp that Ins ( llon'man ) ollered to sell the horse in Firth for f 40 , that ho regarded the dis- portion of n valuable horse at that llguro : H auspicious , and that he told Mr. Barnes shortly nftcr in Lincoln of the flireiiiUHtanco ; that llnrncs told him the IiorseJ was notlloHman's and gnvenvans authority to follow on the trail and re cover the her o if possible. Kvans then stated that lie had went down in Gage county and found whnre Hotrman had liiud to sell the horse to n man named Coltoti for ? 15. The cross. examination failed to bleak Mr. Kvans' testimony In any particular. Sec-rotary of State Koggen was recalled to testify in regard to any changein Hoffman's appearance after the publica tion of the alleged libel in answer to the testimony of liofl'man and the governor as to his anguish and sull'ering. Mr. Hoggcn testltied that ho saw no change of that kind in HolVman. Mayor Kluutsuh testified that he went at thn time of the publication of the alleged libel with Mr. Kosowatcr out to Mr. Barnes' residence and that the incidents as related by Mr. Harnes and published In the llr.i : were identical. Mr. Kletitsch also testilied that in conver sation with Hoffman and ot'icrs ' in the oapitol tlio evening following the publi cation that HolTtnan said lie didn't care about it ; that ho would get even with Koscwater. This witness also testified to the appearance of the plnintiu" , said that liu did not notice any particular change in him , and that he seemed to take it without caring. The first part of the afternoon wns taken up by tlio introduction of Lr. ) Morris , who had resided somcwhoro in Iowa. The doctor was introduced b.y the pro-eoution. Ho claimed that he was in Hcnlonvillo , Ark. , at the time Ilollhian received a letter from Barnes ; could not rnmembur the contents ; couldn't identify the handwriting. The only point sought to bo made b.y the prosecution was that Uarnes was in correspondence with llon'man after ho had discovered the loss of the horse. The cross-examination of the witness by Judge Mason drew out sonio facts that set the court and jury in a jicrfect uproar of laiighter. The doc tor , in relating where ho had been , first said ho was down in Arkansas for the health of hia family , but when pressed , ho divulged the fact that ho was tramping from town to town through Arkansas in partnership with liofl'man. The doctor testilied that liofl'man acted as advance agent and general distributor of hand bills , composed by himself , totting forth in glowing terms the wonderful ernes ef fected by the doctor , and hisrucdicalskill in certain diseases. " 1'ou were a sort of a tape worm crowd , " remarked Judge Mason , "eh ? , " and the crowd roared. The doctor admitted that hf divided the receipts with liofl'man. during the ox- istonoo of this partnership. The doctor became so confused before Judge Mason jvnj tln'c'ugh cross-examining him that he na'l himself graduating in medicine at ten years of age. At 2:30 : o'clock Hoffman went on the stand for rebuttal , and at the adjourn ment of court was still in the witness box. TfolTman denied everything , except the testimony of Governor Dawcs regard ing his own health. That went L piHwan : tradictcd. Ho denied the statement of Uarnes in regard to the contract for the horre ; told his version , that the horse was for his use in any way lie wanted , and denied rll the evidence adduced oy H.iins , Evans , Kloutsch and the others. He Mvoro that ho was not arrested at Piereo City , but produced a telegram ordering Ids release. How he could not have be-on arrested and yet be released the cross-examination to-day will show up. The Hott'man rebuttal evidence is a statement of his own that evidently Ma counsel are putting against all the damag ing testimony that the dcfcnso had ad duced through a half dozen different witnesses during the day. KKNNAHU AND HIS I.ETTEK. The ancient political chestnut , Tom Ivcnnard , who was whipped at the noils in his own ward , and who helped deliver Lancaster county to Howe by sitting in the convention by proxy , has taken to writing letters for the State Journal urg ing support of his chum Church , whom liouost voters are deserting like rat * a sinking faliip. Kcnnard in his appeal cites what Howe has done for the city of Lincoln , what a great friend ho has been to Lincoln ; but Torn fails to record just how much it cost the people of Lincoln to make Howe their friend ; how deep the } * , the citizens of Lincoln , had to co down in their pockets to satisfy Church's avaricious greed , and how many years Church Howe was a barnacle upon Lin coln industries for revenue only. The elegant Mr. Kcnuurd , who never fails to bob up serenely when u corruptionist like Church Howe needs bracing up , ought to strike a balance shoot between thii city of Lincoln and Church Howe in debits and credits nnd exhibit it. and lot the people see for thomsolvcs if Howe hiui not had aboutenough. Howo's work for Lincoln , and a howl to awaken prejudice - dice against Omaha on a sectional issue , is Konuard's stock In tradein booming Howe , and ho very judiciously refrains from arguing against Howe's record in attempting to sell the state to Tilden , againbt Howo's record as a prohibitionist , and against his record , as cited by a member of the western salt company , who , In remitting lobby cash to Howe , referred to him as the man from Neinuha who would rather rob than work. None of those records ot Howe are hinted at in the frantic letter of the Honorable Tom , and the Xomnha man , who boasts of bor ing with nn augur , is only using a very ( small gimlet in the personage of Ken- nard and his letters.

The 1icrill'of Lancaster county had up before County .ludgo Parsons for pru- liminarvthcarhuj U' tcrd.p' ; n mail liained William Spear , \\lio is hehl on tel- rgraplne intoi million from Shi-rill Atkins , oft'hevenno ' , Wyo. , until Friday , when if Wyo'mingolllflals come to time and find him the right man , ho will be taken to that territory to answer for a murder committed over two years ago. Snear's appearance and manner tallies well with [ he description of the party wanted , and if lie be the right man the parlies making tlin arrest will bo enriched a couple of hundred or sueli a matter. Spear , the man held here , lias a Nebraska history that commenced very shortly after the time that the murder was committed in Wyoming. He came to this state and was arrested in Butler county for steal ing cattle , was tried and sentenced to two years in thn penitentiary. Hisarru-t in this case , however , was not accom plished without n good deal of trouble , lor he was found at that time in Coluni- 1ms , O. He entered tne penitentiary in December , 1834 , nnd was released the 15th of August last having shortened his term of set vice by good behavior. Since liis releaco lie has been in different parts of the state until his apprehension at the remiest of the Wyoming authorities Spears claims , what may provo to bo the case , that he is not at all the man wanted and it will probably be determined in a day or two whether his claim is good. K.'I ) . Stearn appeared for the state in the matter , and L. C. Burr was the attor ney for the prisoner lilt U.lMM ! > d AOA1X. Tlio police made a raid upon the al ready notorious Dr. Reynolds again and liad iiim up in court yesterday. The doc tor's latest break has been on a level with numerous other escapades of his own. audit is as natural as life to sec liiin behind the bars again. Tuesday a lady came to the police and informed them that Dr. Itvynolds had gene to her lioii e on south Twelfth street and rented a furnished room of her. saying that his wife was coming to the city and tliev wanted accommodations. Shonot know ing tlio chap , rented the room to him and lie occupied it Monday night with a female friend , and was in like occupancy when the police raided the nest about midnight Tuesday. The woman plead that the doctor had seduced her under promise of marriage , but the police know ilio female to Do a party of easy virtue lately from Hastings. As the doctor has no wife in Lincoln his deception in sccur- ng a room made the lady from whom ho rented justly indignant at the rascal. SUXOIt SIATTKHS. The railroad commissioners under the law are required to inspect wrecks and accidents of any maornitudo , and yester day Commissioner Buschow with Steno grapher W arring went out to Fairlield to learn the particulars of the terrible wreck of the constructive train with ac companying loss of life that occtired on the. Blue Hill extension a couple of days ago. Church Howe with a grist of assistant strikers was down at tlio town of Bennett Tuesday night and an old citizen of the place says-it is worse and worse tor the tiickster who was conveyed by a woman ou his prohibition racket to catch votes , nnd who the next evcTning ou U'.s Sopot platform before a larger audicnco than lie mot tlio night before had the humiliat ing satisfaction of hearing his campaign assertions denounced as falsehoods. The police and justice courts have been running light of late in Lincoln and it looks as though the fee system was knocking arrests as well as itself out of the ring.

" "Uless mo ! You call that n fascinating ii.an" ' " , Ju > t wait till I tell yon of his wonder ful eyes. His eye-hrowi were very heavy and almost met ; of course his cye weie black ; but they had such n peculiar e\- pre&.iion ; they teemed to draw you , somehow , even again t your will. The most trivial remark he made assumed an importance that no one else ever ini tialled to it. 'Troiu the lirsl I was rather awed by him. nml --eeined to be finite attracted by little me. 1 forgot to tell you Ids name was Mr. Chaso. lie sent me music , and then ga/ed at me while 1 sang it until I felt impelled to sing bettor than I ever did before. Ho sent mo llower , and I wore his carnations , though yon know I don't admiru them at all , and L never want to ue one again. Of course , I was tensed a good deal about my con quest , and I really beg-in to dread his calls , and contrived to have some one pre-enl always , us I feared he would ask me to marry him , and 1 did notation- how to answer him. One evening he found me alone , and had just begun a most touching remark , when to my relief little Kttie ran into the room ami ell'eet- uiilly put a slop to sentiment. He left ver soon with a sort of longing ; in his eyes which impressed me strangely. "The next evening 1113- host remarked to his wife- " 'Poor Chase has been obliged to go back to the asylum ; they took him to Ilarrisbnrg to-day.

Imagine my feelings when , a few days alter , the servant brought me his card and toltl me he had asked to sec me alone. Cousin Julia was out , else I would have insisted on her going to the parlor with mo. I thought of all the tricks of insane people that I had read , The more I thought the more nervous 1 grew , but at length , summon ing all my self-posseision , I went down stairs. Ho was moving restlessly about the room when I entered , came tit once to meet me , and taking my hand exclaimed D'"At last ! It bcuins an age since I saw you.

Just hero fate in the person of Cousin Julia interposed before I had in auvwav committed myself. " ' "Ah Mr. Clmse ' she said 'I , . , , am glad to see you. When did you return ? I was sorry for the occasion of your absence ; Jw did you leave your brother ? ' fr 'Ho was more quiet when I loft him. but I fear ho n ill never be entirely cured. " 1 sat as ono in u maze.

' ' FIELD , FARM AND GARDEN. Grade HolstoliiB for tlio Dairy. J. C. Wade , in Holstcias-Fricaian Reg ister : A few months since I visted a dairyman in New York who had for years kept good common cows. Four years ago he bought u tine , pure-brood Hoi- stuin bull and crossed upon his cows , Last year his two-year-old heifers gave double the quantity of milk his common cows did ; or , in otner words , ho received 8,000 pounds of milk instead of 4,000 , which at ono cent a pound at first glunco would suom to bo just double $ SO to $40. lint , see n moment Times were hard nnd feed high , and it con $30 each to keep the common cows und $10 each to keep the grade iiolsteins , which left a prolit of four times as much for the iiolsteins , Ho has also sold hU three-fourths grade Holstein calves for $30 each , when com mon calves were worth only $5 each. Hero is another four-fold prolit. I saw a pair of grade Holstein steers at the breeding larm of F. C. Stevens , Esq. , .Attica , h Y. , which at twenty-six months old weighed 8,550 pounds. I believe they tire to be exhibited at the Chicago Fat Stock show. I huvu n yearling bull ( one year old last March ) , that weighs 1'JOO pounds ; aJso a two-year-old heifer that weighs 1,400 pounds. They are thoroughbreds , and only n little heavier than other members of the herd , and hence I think the claim just that the Hoi- stein is the coming cow ahead of all others for milk , butter and cheese , and crowding the others for beef , Kvery farmer ot neighborhoods which have tun or more co. % * p m nifjrd to Ini.v a pure blood hull Cllf to use next spring , and make 11101103 from the hrstenr. _ . l < nrao Hordes lor the I'nrm.

The Fitchburg , l\lnss. \ . Sentinel siu * : A Leominster farmer broke Ids her o of ? "balky'1 freak in a very quiet and , as ho claims1 , not a cruel manner. His horse is in excellent Mesh and .shows no signs of neglect ou the part of hK master. He drove him , attached to a rack- wagon to the wood Jot lor a small load of wood. The animal would not pull a pound. He did not beat him with a club , but tied him to a tree nnd "let him .stand. " He went to the lot at sunset and asked him to draw , but he would not straighten a tug. "I made up my mind , " said the farmer , "when that horse went to the barn he would take that load of wood The night was not cold. I went to the barn , got blankets and covered the horse warm , nnd ho stood until morning. Then ho refused to draw. At noon I went down and he was probablv hungry and lonesome. Undrew thnt load of "wood the lirsl time I asked him. I returned nnd got another load before I fed him. I then rcv.-ardcd him with ; i good dinner , which ho eagerly devout ed. I have drawn several loads since. Once he re fused to draw , but as soon as ho saw me start for the house he slatted after me with tlio load. A horse becomes lone some and discontented when left alone , as mueh o as a person , and I claim this method , if rightly used , is far less cruel and is better for oth horse and man than lo beat the animal with a club. " Tlio Keeping of Iltitter. An Knglishi dairy woman givc-i the fol lowing rules for practice in larm dairies : Butter that has fyeon properly worked , salted and packed , will go moldy and rancid unless duo carp is taken toe\.eludo damp air , etc" Premising that butter is properly packed to within half an inch of the top of the , crock , make it perfectly level and smooth , nnd spread over it a square of cotton or linen rag a little larger than the trip of the crock ; press it over the buttnr , and on this put a layer of finely ground salt to the thickness of a quarter incl ) ; sec that it is quite to the edge of tno crock , all round , and gontlv turn up the elites pf the linen nnd fold it over the salt. Stand the crock in n shady corner of the dairy table , and in n few days a natural brine will probably have formed , or the butter may be so dry that the fcnlt will hardly melt ; in either casjj ' have found the butter keep iwiectly nnd at present there nr Crocks in our dairy put up in Jui'c , nnd the butter is as sweet ami et as good u color as if newly J .CKed. Another advantage of the sys tem is that the butter can be looked after by simply raising the edge of the cotton covering , nnd if showing any sign of too much damp , a dry cloth and fresh salt can be put ou. Farm Experiments. Farm , Field and Stockman : Whatever may bo the value of investigations at the public experiment stations of the several states instituting them , they are no less valuable on the farm. Experiment sta tions may demonstrate generally , but eacli farmer to receive the best results from these experiments must investigate for himself. Hero is a case in point. An experiment station investigating the values of per haps twenty varieties of wheat , gives the several values of these varieties in that special climate and that soil. It does not follow that tlieso varieties stated to do Dest there will do so in another locality oven though the soil may bo similar so far ns the farmer may be nblo to judge. 15ut the probability is they will do seaside aside from liability to freeze out , mildew , rust , or the occurcnco of other disease Experiments by the farmers may easily decide tins. How to do tins most economically it is well to know. The cheapest and best moans wo have found , where small pack ages are received for experiment , is to lay out the land selected into regular pjots , with spaces between for separa tion , one from the other. Sow the seed in regular drills ono foot or more apart. For wheat or rye the seed may bo dropped four to six inches apart , 'for ' barley homewhat thicker , and for oats , say three inches apart. These plots may easily be kept olunn , Mid a careful record being kept , a fair determination of the several values of the varieties may be arrived at. Hut ono season's experiment does not satisfy absolutely. As soon as n yield is obtained sutlicicnt to show the broadcast , or to drill by n machine , cultivate in the ordinary manner. Thus , in n few years , the value of a variety may bo fairly de termined m accordance with varying seasons. In ( the moan time very little will have beep lost in conducting the ex periments , and each farmer will Imvo gotten varieties best adapted to his cli mate and situation , In the same manner the farmer may ex periment in relation to the application of fertilizers for Bpitoial crops , or thick or thin , early orf late seeding , or methods of seeding , method ? of cultivation , winter protection , etc. , etc. In examining varie ties with a view qf forming an opinion as to comparative Values , the habit , growth , appearance qf U)0 ) plant and the grain must bo take i.nto careful consideration. The time of e eUing will also be a neces sary record , especially since ( ; urline.s m iiponiugis onu 'of the most important values in a Variety oJ grain , it thnso points itre carefully written down they will form a most valuable record in de termining the actual vultio of a grain or plant after several years' cultivation , un der which its average value oneycar with another may be correctly estimated.- Reasonable Hints and h Do not send any turkeys to market till they have boon lirnt penned up and fat tened.

Tin re is nothing so attractive or orna mental as a shapely , well kept hedge , and it adtls value to the farm. Clover is a most valuable fertilizer to worn-out soil. It affords complete pro tection to thu soil from binning summer suns , its perpetually falling leaves form ing a delicate covering for shade , which yet easily penetrated by the air , which carries to the earth fertili/iug atmos pheric elements. The New Hampshire Mirror sajs that there is a habit ol lotiriujr the old hens and using pullets under the supposition that thi former are useless after their second year. This is a mistake The hen is in her prime in her fourth year , and her eggs will hatch a larger percent age of chicks than will eggs fiom pullets. Uather than turn uiulera heavy growth of woods upon land whore the wheat is to be sown , better co to the trouble of cutting , raking and burning them , for it is impossible to glow maximum crop * upon a bed of weeds. Hut better than cutting , raking nnd burning is to plow- before the weeds have made inui'li growth. A fruit-grower who desired to clear ofl' his raspberries without destroying the new plant- , cut them all down close to the ground. A Inrgor number of new plants came up than had before occupied the ground , which made tlio clearing away of the whole lot a profitable one , the ob ject being to save as many young plants as possible. The price of draft horses does not go down "with the breeding of increased numbers ; the more there are the more demand People arc liuding out that it is better to go slow and take larger lqnd . The wear and tare of horses am ! vehicles arc not so great. It is not too late to breed a colt. There are advantages in having colts come in autumn. The type of sheep most desired is the ono that can be best adapted t the farm. In other words , something dependi on the farm , the shelter , kind of grass , qual ity ot pasture and mode of management. Mutton sheep may pay best with one farmer , and Merino with another , but whatever kind is kept let them bo the best of their respective breeds.
