zclto'clcnlcs that any court circles have pro
posed to establish a" regency to meet thu con
tingency of the sudden death of Emperor
William and the inabilityof the crown prince
to assume the reign of power. It is true , the
Gazette further says , that the crown prince
consulted n Baden statesman on the proposal
that he should abdicate. Although the Ga
zette's language is emphatic , the former
statement Hint thcquestion of tlio abdication
of the crown prince had been tlio subject of
negotiations remain' * authentic. The denial
is understood to huvo been issued under u
demand from .San RC.IIIO.
A decree has been published summoning
the landtag to meet on the 1 Ith inst.
Kmpcror William has conferred the grand
cross of the Order of the lied Haglo upon

Tlio New York
At.iiAxr , N. Y. , Jan. 3 , The New York
legislature convened to-day. Governor Hill
in his message says ho is determined to make
that document tlio briefest on record , because
he realized that ho who give's bis suggestions
with conciseness and brevity confers no
small gift upon active men in this busy age
In recommending passage of an act nbol
ishing the power of confirmation ' on the part
of the senate in nU'thoso cases where it is
not required by the constitution itself , the
governor says : "It is a notorious fact that
for many years nominations sent to the sen
nto have not been disposed of upon theii
merits but have either not been acted upoi
at nil or. their disposition determined upon
partisan or factional grounds. The confirm
ing power has virtually usurped tlio appoint
ing power by refusal to consider nominations
upon their merits. "
The governor makes another appeal foi
enumeration and apportionment and says :
"It is conceded that
generally an enumera
tion allowed by an honest apportionment ,
would unquestionably result in a change in
the political complexion of the legislature of
the state. "
Fremont Cole was selected speaker of the
assembly and Henry H. Law president of the
senate.

of the city of Now York held a special meet
ing to-night with 200 members present to
consider the lengthy rejwrt from its commit
ted on national affairs on the nomination of
Secretary Lamar to the supreme bench. Res
olutions were passed deprecating his nomina
tion and saying : "Our opposition to Mr.
Lamar is not duo to the fact that ho is
a southerner or was identified
with the late rebellion. Wo do
not oppose him on any political gronuds. Wo i
base our opposition upon the fact that ho is
not in sympathy with tlio fourteenth and llf-
teentli amendments to the constitution , not
withstanding his declaration to the contrary.
His political actions in Mississippi since the
war demonstrate that ho is totally unfit to
construe judicially the amendments referred
to and the laws enacted to carry out the
same. "

VICTIMS OK THK WlltiCK ,
4
Keiiinants ofBodlca Discovered In the
Itulni.
CINCINNATI , O. , Jan. 3. J. H. Avey.ono of
the victims of thu railroad accident on the
Southern road , died nt , Covingtou. Ky. , nnd
his wife is In a critical condition. Tlio other
wounded nru doing well. A special from
Greenwood , Ky. , says as time wears on and
thu wreck Is being cleared away , thu pres
ence of more victims becomes apparent.
When the wreck occurred n number of pas
sengers who were In the ladles coach
anusmoklng car on the north bound train
succeeded In making their escape from the
cars with trilling injuries. Just who they
tire nnd how many is not known. Last night
the bones of two unfortunates were found
almost reduced to ashes , buried in the ruins
of the burned car. While digging In thp
ruins the hair attached to a scalp of a woman
was discovered. Thu flesh was burned away.
Almost on the snmo spot where the hair was
found n child's shoo was picked up.
After the accident occurred search
was made for a man who
was seen to enter the toilet room of the
ladles' coach on the cnorth bound train the
instant before the crash came. He was never
seen again , and every effort to locate him
have proved futile. It is believed the bones
found last night are those of the man and
woman. The child was probably with its
mother , and died with her , its body being
buried in the debris. The suspicion grows
that there are more people buried in the de
bris than were extricated.
Itcferring to the special report from Green
wood , Ky. , to the effect that additional remains -
mains of victims had l > cen found in the debris
bris of Saturday's wreck on the Cincinnati
Southern roadSuperintent Carroll says there
is not a particle of truth in thu story. He
says every employe on the road connected
with both trains , and all passengers , have
been accounted for.

against the United States for compensa
tion for carrying mails was jlismissed. The
claim of G. W. Williams for salary as minis
ter to Hnytl while awaiting instructions from
the department of state was also dismissed ,
on the ground that his salary did not begin to
run until after ho had filed a satisfactory
bond. Mr. Williams was appointed by Pres
ident Arthur in the closing days of his ad
ministration , but thu appointment was nets
s > atisfaotory to the present administration
and lie was superseded before ho could leave
the country for his post. The court rejected
the claims of Israel Warner and Price Con
nelly on the ground that they were not loyal
to the government during the war.

FACTS FOR THE FAKMERS.
Feeding Steers of Different Breeds.
Philadelphia Record : The Agricul
tural college of Michigan has been cx-
pcrimenting'with the feeding of steers
of different breeds , representatives hav
ing been taken from the Shorthorns ,
Gullow'ays , Hcrofords , Holstoiiis , Jer
seys and Dcvons. They were brought
together at weening time , cared for
under the same conditions , and a care
ful record of the food consumed , its
amount and quality , was made , as well
as the mode of management. The
animals were not selected on account
of phenomenal development , and it is
not out of place to state that a single
test will not positively demonstrate the
value of any particular breed. The ratio
of gain is not in strict accordance with
tlto amount of food consumed , and
it is noticeable 'that the gain for
each month and the proportion of
food consumed vary greatly , so
much so as to render it almost impossi
ble to estimate the o > : : ictgain an animal
should maK'o on a ( glven quantity of
food , but the changes iivthe proportions
ot hay and grain as tilf.oe.ting the ratio
of gain are very marked. The greatest
gain from day of bi Ah Wits made by a
llolstein , and the lowest by a Jerseytho
gain of the former ? having been UOI5
pounds daily , with'tho tjalloway follow
ing , wit a daily gnin , of 1.03 pounds ;
next came n Shorthorn , with a daily
gain of 1.01 pounds , .th'tf others having
been hut little less. : 'But the gain in
weight , though somewhat regulated by
the food consumed , Bhow'ed an advant-
ngo in favor of pouw breeds as being
capable of producing-a largo amount of
beef at the lowest possible cost , for , with
tno exception of thu.lersuys andDovons ,
the llolstein consumed less food than
the others , while thd Jerseys and Dox-
ous did not gain in weight oven in pro
portion to the food eaten Look
ing at this test in on di
rection it is a decisive victory
for the Holstein as n beef-producing
animal , hut as there were two Holsteins
represented the second animal did not
show as good a record as tlio first yet
its gain in proportion to food consumed
was greater , while its daily gain was
fully equal to the steorsof other breeds.
It is not to ho suppo-ed that this test is
disparaging to the shorthorns , Gallo-
wnya and Herefords , for in a second test
they may surplus the llolsteins ; hut it
demonstrates thi : % though the Holstcins
tire producers of milk and huttor rather
than .of beef , the amors of Unit breed
cu'n successfully compote with the bust
beef-producing "breeds-of the country.
Wo. may not have reneho.l llml stage in
hrecdlnir which permits us to dunuml-
unto any breed of animals as an * 'ull-
liurposo" one , hut in the various tests
thijt have been made to determine the
best host , huttor and mtllc producers tlio
Holsteins have come nearer earning the
distinction of "nil-purpose" nnimuls
than any other.
Workmen Mny Own Farm * .
Correspondence New York Tribune :
A hired man on tlio farm who has only
himself to provide for can save enough
in ton years to warrant him in buying
an improved farm if ho bo economical
till along. The interest on his money
earned , judiciously invested , will soon
bo HUlllefent for clothing and other nec
essary expenses. This is the way many
farmers worked their way up. Uy fntth-
fttlne.ss and economy us hired montht\y
became owners gf farms , and are hir
ing others to work for thorn. This has
not boon done at any * undue sacrifice , for
most of the hoys , if they will , may
obtain a good common school education ,
and often more , before they begin their
term of t-orvleo. The working hours
tire generally no longer nor the work
ililTerent in nature from that performed
> y. the farmer himself. By moving fur-
her went he may get an earlier nnd , in
many cases , a more advantngeons start ,
But this is not necessary , nor is it nd-
, -isablo. The road to imlopondonco
imy not bo so rapid in an older settled
country i but it is generally surer , and
'f the reward be less the nrivations are
'ower. ' If there bo drudgery on the
'arm , as there must be every where , it is
jecauso man is born to labor. But it
oses Its terrors when performed with
jlioerfulness , and this is the stale of
nind in which both master and servant
should dwell.
Seasonable Hints und
It is a fact that dogs seldom attack
iheep kept with cattle , unless in the
ease of some old rogue , nnd then only
vhon the sheep nro found nt a considor-
iblo distance , lor the instinct of the cat-
le is ti\ attack animals found chasing or
vorrying other block near them.
Prevention in all cases of diseases ,
vhether man. beast or fowls , if suceess-
\il , removes the necessity of a euro , and
tthcaeforo becomes more Important
ind worthy of greater consideration.
.Jrevention is not so expensive and in
volves less labor , vexation and anxiety.
A western dairyman has hit upon a
very simple plan of warming water for
lis stock to drink in winter , snys the
Michigan Farmer. He put an iron plate ,
say eighteen inches square , on the bottom
tom of his water tank , cutting away the
wood , of cottse , where the iron was.
Jnder this plate ho used an oil stove.
: Ie says 10 cents' worth of oil a day would
warm"tho water for sixty cows up to 70
degrees or more.
One egg a week will pay for the sup
port of a hen. As the first egg must bo
leducted for expenses , consequently the
ion that lays three eggs a week pro-
luces twice as much profit as the hen
that lays two eggs.
Do neb keep more stock than can bo
comfortably wintered. A small herd
well cared for will give bettor results
shan a large herd that is partially neg-
ccted.
There is no necessity for having the
colt in a fat condition. Kecpit growing ,
ind aim to get the largest frame possi
ble before it becomes throe years old.
Linseed meal should not be fed to very
young pigs except in small quantities ,
ind not very often , as it is'too much of a
laxative for them.
No better evidence of raising sheep
for mutton rather than for wool can bo
bo given than the fact that in England ,
where rents of farms are very high , the
mutton breeds are considered indispon-
siblo to successful farming. Wool is re-
arded as only a by-product of tlio
hcep . In this country , sn the contrary ,
wool is considered of greater import-
than mutton , but sheep here do not pay
as great profits as those in England.
Everything depends on the mode of
manageinont. Our farmers compel
sheep toiorugc , while in England they
are treated as carefully as are cattle.
While it is claimed that the improved
mutton breeds of sheep pay well , they
cannot be kept on the farm in the same
manner usual with common sheep.
They demand go6d pasture , liberal
fced'ingand attention , but they pay well
for the care bestowed. There is a great
demand for superior mutton , and bright
prospects arc is store for those farmers
who will make mutton sheep a specialty
and are willing to give them the same
treatment that is given each.sheep in
England.
Adding great piles of straw , leaves
and broken stalks to the manure heap
will give bulk without corresponding
proportion of nutritious matter. These
materials serve best as absorbents , and
should first bo made tine. They are of
no service to the growing plants until
decomposed , and the proper place to de
compose them is the manure heap.
They should never be spread upon the
field for crops until tlio entire heap
shall have been well rotted.
Given in winter , cooked food fed
slightly warm , as it is pretty sure to be
is eaten more rapidly and does more
good than that uncooked. Cows inorease
their yield of milk on it , and all
animals thrive better than previously.
Dry coal ashes , finely sifted , can
always bo put to excellent use. They
make good dust baths for the fowls , and
when sprinkled along the passages of
the stables prevent the animals from
slipping on the wet places. They should
be carefully saved and used.
Too much attention cannot bo given
the seed corn , which should be hung up
and thoroughly dried. When the win
ters are severe the seed that is thor
oughly dry escapes damage. It is'owing
to moisture that injury occurs. A warm
room , or a location porfeellp dry ( such
as the garret ) , is sufficient without the
use of n stove.
There is no reason why farmers should
receive less than the regular prices for
any kink of produce. If they will ship
articles in good condition , and allow
nothing to leave the farm except that of
the best quality , they can always find a
ready sale for all classes of produce.
There is still plenty room for invctors
to find something better than stanchions
for cows. A stall is wanted that will
completely prevent the cows from be
ing filthy , and in which the liquids and
solid manures can in no manner get on
the animals.
It is generally supposed that the pig
is capable of'digesting nny kind of food
that is unfit for other classes of block.
On the contrary , it can bo very easily
injured by improper food , nnd will do
best on a variety of vegetables and
grass. Corn is not necessary except to
fatten tlio hog.
When wood is sold off the land there
is a loss of fertility , but when the ashes
are carefully saved , provided the wood
bo consumed on the farm , the potash
and lime , as well as other mineral matter -
tor , are retained , only n small loss of
nitrogen occurring. A farm can bo
cropped ns easily by growing wood upon
it for sale ns with ordinary crops.
Ono of the most important matters for
beginners in poultry keeping is to know
that a good laying lien is not a market
fowl. A plump , fat hen will lay but
very few eggs , wliilo a , hen that lays
regularly does not readily become fat ,
as rfho cannot produce eggs and carcase
at'tlio sumo time. Do not keep the lay
ing houd and fat hens togotnor ,

Chicago Herald : While the western
ifo that one sees in crossing the oonti-
lontdilTors snllloiently from that on
.ho Atluntie coast to ke p the observant
ravoler on the alert with eyes and
ears , one must , nevertheless , go far
rom the trans-continental railroads to
) btnin even a hint of the wild , rude
nmlor existence best known to renders
) f yellow-coated literature and patrons
> f the sensational drama. Canada
lover had a border history like ours , BO
that what I saw of life , in this year of
Craco , bosldo the track of the Canadian
. 'acifie railroad was untie enough in all
conscience , if viewed from the stand-
of u person thirsting for im-
iromptn conlliels between cowboys and
jlacklegs , or street duels between the
ending oitizeiiB of a new-born town. It
icomed'to me as I rode over the prairie
from Winnipeg to the Hooky moun
tains , a distance of nearly a thousand
niles , as though an niitirmod man might
safely walk the whole journey between
the- wagon ruts that mark the old
lioneer trail , and that Ho almost as
lose to the track ns a towpath by a
anal. And. without exaggeration , it
would bo less dangerous for n lady to dose
so at any time when the Indians were
Itiiot ( and how often are they otherwise
.n Canada ? ) than for her to essay a
.ramp of a similar number of days in
New Jersey.
If this sounds startling to nny readm
it can only be because hois unacquainted
with UioCimailian country. In the first
| ) lice : the Canadian prairie is almost a
, ovel plateau of short grans , offering fewer
or no hiding place for the mischievous
ind betraying every movement of every
iicraon upon it to all others for miles
iround. Along the 1,000 miles of track
nro 103 railway stations , so that prao.ti-
callv there is urciido/.vous for humanity
at the end of each ten miles sometimes
i city and sometimes only a station , but
always a manned depot. Between these
stopping points lire moroorless frequent
nouses , persons in carriages or wagons ,
pioneer trains , trackmen , mounted po
lice , cowboys and Indians who never
can bo trusted , but who commit few
crimes upon person and whoso most des-
pornto ambition , as a rule , is to sell
whatever they have , oven their clothes
or their women.
How much more truly attractive this
is , after all , when you remember that
your eyes are opened on a brand now
world'than the popular idea makes the
region seem to those who do not know
the truth. You see the pioneer life in
all its singes , from the moving train of
wheeled schooners to the neat frame
houses that succeed the earlier tents ,
the sod houses nnd log huts. You woo
the breaking Of the ground by means of
modern implements which you will
afterward discover are always left out
of doors through rain and snow and
frost and warping beat , after the gen
eral western custom. You sec game in
a plentconsncsa that you never dreamed
it reached oven in the African jungle-
small birds and animals , near the rail
road , to be sure , with here and there ti
vast Hook of pelicans or
the vanishing form of a deer ,
a wolf or a fox. Millions of
gophers , of a size between a squirrel
nnd a rabbit , pop in and out of their
holes in the turf or sit upright like beg
ging dogs , staring at you as you pass.
You see the ever picturesque cowboys
dashing like mad on their cnyuses , the
herds of cattle they are following , the
peculiar sottlonlonts spring up like
double lines of exaggerated dry goods
boxes , with the trading stores iiuU
hotels always most conspicuous. You
see camps of mounted police formed of a
few queer looking round tents that sug
gest a pigmy circus , with the horses
tethered at a distance and the police
men in their red coats , pill box hats ,
always worn on ono ear , and their yel
low striped striped breeches by long
odds the most picturesque loafers in
America.
And then the Indians ! You see lit
erally thousands of these miserables ,
these most unfortunates. Fortunately
you-perceive that they either do not
know that they arc starving and sicken
ing away or else they do not mind it.
Never will you see such squalor as you
will witncso wherever you see the In
dians. If you ever see an Indian any
where than beside one of the towns you
may be certain he , or she , or they , will
only reach the end of the journey under
way when the side of a town is reached.
At the towns they crowd beside the
trains running after them while they
are slowing up , and holding out their
hands , either palms up for charity or
with something in them which they
wish to sell polished buffalo horns or
articles of bcadworlc , upon both of which
the squaws have toiled for days or weeks ,
and yet which are now to be parted with
for a mere song , a quar
ter or , perhaps , a dollar.
Every Indian wears a blanket as old
and discolored as the most precious Per
sian rug , and wears it both in summer
and winter. Some have Caucasian
trousers below the blankets , but most
of them wear Indian brooks , which are
made with separate , independent legs.
You see no head-dresses , or earrings , or
noserings , or tomahawks , or guns , or
bows and arrows among them. Hero
and there ono carries a common butch
er's knife , such as butchers use for
skinning , with the handle peeping out
of the sheath. Hero and tlioro ono
wears a white man's hat in style only
when the crown is out but most of
them have their long , coar&o , black
locks uncovered and uncombed. Very
many cannot talk Knglish , and nearly
all pretend that they can nof ut least
not more than enough to beg a dime or
set a price on their wares.
The consequence is that the settlers
called "chinook"
learn a polyglot lijigo
a sort of pigeon Indian and you will
be constantly surprised to see a well-
dressed passenger step from a palace
cur and converse for a moment or two
with the redskins in a curious nasal
lingo to satisfy his curiosity as to who
nnd what the braves are and what they
are doing. Cruelty , craftiness , contempt
nnd brutish ignorance are stamped in
these Indians' faces as in no others I
over aw not oven in the countenance
of a ship's crew of Lascars I once saw
and afterward thought wore the most
blood-tbifoty , cat-liko wretches I had
ever soon. Yet , purring and tripping
among the braves nnd squaws , you will
often see a pair or trioor perhaps many
more , of an pretty dusky-faced , dimpled ,
plumb and coquettish little maidens as
any mother over loved in tlio homes ot
uspalo-facoj.
In the I'ocky mountains and the
three sky piercing claims lying parallel
with them the scenery claimed all at
tention , and , indeed , littleolflo was to
be seen , except occasional herds of dce %
i\nd nntolopo. Hero I would not ndrfaa
aijy ono to walk. I kept to thi ? cars
and do not remember being advised on
this particular subject by nny ono no-
quaintod with the country , but the talk-
and the evidence of OIIO'H eye worn nil
of pot nnd skin hunters , of tramping
ooal and gold nnd silver mine * , of camps
and bands of Chinese railroad laborers.
And then the loneliness nnd the dis
tances between stations nnd houses. I
would much prefer walking In Now Jor-
oy even to n onmp in that desolate and
lloroe mountain country- Hut 1-y nnd
Ity the cars 'dropped lower nnd lower
Into the coast country of Brlti.th Col
umbia , following the mighty und always
'
angry Fraser rlvor , and tlio'n oamomo'ro
of western life , not much nftor the Bret
llarlo pattern. It Is trno. yet passed
amid trees of giant growth inndo
quaintly picturesque by swarms of Chi-
iiamon in blouses und in hats shaped
like bowls turned upside down , inmlo
glorious by the constant ollorltiL' of sal
mon fresh from the water at every meal
in the dining car.
There WHS no suggestion of what we
eastern folks know us western or border
life uny where on the 1'aolllc coast , ns I
saw it , either in Canada or In our own
country. More Felid , staid or finished
cities than Victoria and Portland Ore. ,
or a more delightfully cultivated ami
progressive little community thnu
Tacoma I will dofv the cust
om man to find in his own
land. 1 inndo the return trip bv thu
Northern Pacific railroad , and it was
so much kiss na.Migo in aspect than the
outward journey that I only saw twenty
Indians , and thev were all in one place ,
sunning themselves on a freight house
platform in Montana. Tito cowboys
were their substitutes , and a milder ,
more intelligent-looking lot of young
moirtlmn till of them that I snw were it
would be difficult to find. Hero , too , the
stations wore close together , and the
settlements often larger and more
thriving than in Canada , which is a
much newer country. By any other of
Iho Pacific roads , except possibly the
Southern , there is oven less rawness and
rudcdcss than I saw.
No ; there is u western life , nnd it is
very peculiar lo an eastern man , but it
is not garnished with pistols or cele
brated with knives. Its peculiarities
lie in tlto almost pure democracy of the
society out there , in the footing of
equality maintained bv everyone with
everyone else ; in the high regard for
women , oven when they tire women who
scandalize their tex ; in the vigor and
keenness nnd enterprise that mark the
conduct of all enterprises , and in the
vanity with which every man speaks of
the community of which ho forms a
part. In these features , and not in
bloodshed and disorder , lie the differ
ences between the eastern and western
life to-day.
