New York Graphic : The anniversary
of Lincoln's birthday brought Kovornl of
the old-timer * oncu moro into public
notice. All over the country they have
been hoard of by thousands wno for
years have imagined that most of them
had long elnoo paid tholr last debt to
nature. Perhaps among all the veterans -
erans that the occasion brought out
none WOB at ono time moro prominent
in war days than , when history was
made , than Hannibal Uninlin.of Maine.
He is one of the few men still living
vlio were conspicuous in the republican
party nt the time of its Urst national
canvass , in 1850.
Forty-five years have rolled away
since Mr. HuiuUu , thqn in his thirty-

a domocratuna considered a very strong
and faithful party man. Indeed ho was
cut to the United States eonato by that
party , nnd wna practically Its lender In
Maine. When the republican party
wan organised ho foil aWay from his old
political allegiance , hnd since ( hat time
has been an nggrcsalvo loader of the
tncnt advanced 'and radical wing of the
republican orgunbntion.
Nearly ninety years of ngo he Was
born In 1609 ho still apparently retains
InUch ot the physical nnd mental vigor
which thirty years' Og6 inado him ioc-
ogtiixcd as one of the bct jmlltifcitl
campaigners in NOW England , lie hnd
grown to bo an historical character.

long enough to lenrn that the arbitra

huoeliona of slavery nnd secession In
tills country , and before ho died in his
homo in hushvlllo , Tenn. , in 1800 , ho
had acknowledged that the temporary
truce his party hold out would have
only postponed the struggle , and woUld
not have forever prevented it.

St. Loula Globc'Dolnorrnt , fob. 20 ;
The honvynnd steady down-pour of rain
yesterday morning wus not sufliclcnt to
clnmpon the ardor of the showmen who
wore in nttondnhcc nt the proat sale of
effects at the Doris & Calvin show. An
old circus mnn has had too much ex
perience with bud weather to mind n
little rain , and thcro were fully n hun
dred would-be purchasers on hand , when
the good-natured auctioneer , Alex Sel
kirk , of the Block A ; Selkirk firm ,
mounted a stool in the old carriage build
ing and announced that the day's pcr-
formunco would begin with the sale of
the animals.
This is what the blp showmen had
como for. On the preceding day when
the costumes and miscellaneous traps
wore bold , thcro wore a lot of junk
dealers on hand. Yesterday the out
siders wore hoi somou from Proadway ,
looking for bargains in their lino.
The menagerie , as has boon cxplaned ,
in located in the south half of the c.lr-
riago building , and the cages are ar
ranged In a circle.
THE mnnisiis.
It wan expected that the competition
ivould bo quite brisk 'between the rep
resentatives of the Barnum-Iialley , the
O'Brien , the Sells , the Orrons , the
Itoblnson , the MclTlynn and the Foro-
naugh shows. Jukes and McGinldy ,
Bihgloy and Kerguhon and Fontaiho
vrero understood to bo on the look out
'or ' cages and wagons.
The first animal put unficr the ham
mer was a beautiful gazelle with long
Jiorns. When the creature was knocked
down to Blngley for $ ! ( ) , and a moment
later ho bought the cage for $06 , Doris'
face fell , ana he ejaculated his disgust.
The running gonr of a menagerie ertjfo
is alone worth $250. DOHA can not no
turned out of the shop fnr loss thhn
$330. The gazoUo was worth $150 if ho
was worth a nicklo.
Next a white llama and cage
ivas given to Bingley for $151 , aboAJt
otto-half the value of the cage.
Blngley next secured two ferocious
little Wildcats for SO , and wanted the
, v o kangaroos , but George Fisher , bf
io Robinson show , scooped them ih.
paving KM for both ; Mr. Bingley was
permitted to buy the capo tot $ d8.
Next in lino- came a villaino\is-looking
spotted hyena , which Selkirk said nould
make ft good watch-don. Prank l-Yaync ,
the actor , had mailed an'offor of S-lO ,
but Binghnm bid $42.fjO , and got the
varmint without opposition.

had to pay $200 for him.
Then Betsy , the elephant , was sow.
Doris expatiated upon her good , quali
ties , her great ago , her amiability and
cleverness , , and said that he had paid
$4,100 for her. The Soils , Foropaugh ,
Robinson or Orrins put in no bid for
her. John O'Brien was the means bf
runnihg the price up to $700 , at which
figure It passed into the hands o ! Mc-

tent and surrounded by all tlio familiar
details of circus life. John O'Brien
started off the bidding with
an offer of $1,200. John Foro-
paugli and George Ort'in immedi
ately entered the contest. O'Brien

try and sell the performing den , for
which ho has no use. The lions will bo
sent to the Orrin show at the City o

HANGING FROM A WIRE.
A Jjliieniim's Narrow f capc From In-
, fttnnt Dentil.
St. Louis Glebe Democrat , February
25 : A thrilling incident , in which
Robert Archibald , nn employe of the
Bell Telephone company , narrowly
escaped death , happened at Broadway
nnU Pine street about 4:30 : o'clock yes
terday nftet-nooh. ' Archibald was or
dered to climb a sixty-foot polo On the' '
corner and examine the wires , which
wore not Working well. Ho is n sturdy
man , twenty-six jeurs of age , and de
lights in climbing to perilous heights.
The fact thatthet'c was a drizzling rain ,
which rendered the Brush electric
light wires more dangerous than Usual ,
did not admonish Archibald to be moi'o
careful than usual. Ho strapped on his
spurs and ascended to the cable box ,
w-hich is about forty flvo feet nbovo the
ground. While opening the table box
and examining the Jnyitches and coil-
nections , the steel spUr on his boot
suddenly came in , contact with
the Brush wire. Instantly
the man was horribly shocked
by the powerful cnnldrtt of cleotricitj
which was being driven through the
wire by ton immensf ) dynamos at the
power house. Ho uttered n groan o :
pain , relaxed his hold ; on the polo and
fell * Fortunately , Irawovcl- , his footbo-
came entangled in the ina/.e of wires on
the polo , nnd ho wns thus saved a fall to
the granite pnvod street below. Several
of the wires which suspended Archibald
in mid Air wore Brush olootrio light
wires , and those tortured the poor folloWs -
loWs until he shrlked1 * with ngony. Ho
was so badly tangled up in the wires
that ho was holplcbs. His head hung
downward nnd his feet wore inextric
ably caught in the smnllol telephone
wires above. Meantime an immense
crowd of curious people gathered below
but ihoy were powerless to aid the suf
fering man. Twoorthrco linemen who
soon arrived on the spot climbed to rescue -
cue Archibald , but ho was out of tholr
reach , and if they cuttho lines ho would
bo killed in the full. Suddenly Archi
bald cried out :
"Send for a flro truck for God's eako
Or I'll 1)6 burned to death. "
"That's it , " shouted a , policeman ,
"why didn't wo think of that before ? "
The oftlcor quickly summoned the No
3 Hayes truck , which was on the spot ii
losa than a minute ,
Archibald was sufferiner' terrible tor
Uro nil this time , hnd when Iho Pomp-
or Corps came tearing down the strbct
10 had ucon suspended in his perilous
wsltion for fully fifteen minutes , The
) ollco drove back the throng of people ,
nest of whom Were very much oxcileu
nnd urging the truckmen to hurry to the
'CSCliO.
The ladder was quickly raised by ft
lalf do/on llromon , who worked vigor
ously at the cmnk until Archibald was
reached. Hero another difficulty was
ncsented. The Hitmen could not dls-
edge the llnoman from the twisted
vires , which wore knotted nnd tied
vbout him in ft perfect labyrinth that no
ono could penetrate. Finally It was
decided to tie a rope about the unfor
tunate mini , throw one end over the
foss-arms at the top of the polo and
ot him down after the wires were cut.
This was done. A line wns tied nbout
Aichibnld's shoulders , nnd then the
vires were cut. Ho wns then pulled up
Hid out of danger , nnd then lowered to
hu ground.
. A curious phenomenon wns observed
vhilo the llremon wore fixing the rope
about Archibald's body. His whole
rnmo was so overcharged with elec-
ricity that o\orytimo ho was touched
> rllliant sparks were omitted from his
body. Thes > o at ill'st rather frightened
the llremon , but , being assured they
wcl o harmless , they worked with all
> 03 lblo haste until Archibald was able
: o I road the ground.
The Injured lineman was taken into
Mcor's store , 20 ! North Broadway ,
where his burns wore attended by Dr.
J. W. Moore. Archibald's feet , head
nnd hands were severely burned , and
his system so badly shocked that ho wns
at first thought to bo dying. Dr. Moore
affirmed , however , that ho wns not
'ntnlly injured. The man was after
ward taken to/ho Dispensary , w'hero ho
was further treated.
The linemen who afterward examined
the wires on the polo pronounced the
insulation podr. They also stated that
Iho escape of electricity from the Brush
wires on a wet day was dangerous , and
that Archibald risked his life in the
! lrst place In making the ascent.
"Shall our girls whistle ? ' ' Of course
if they strengthen their lungs by taking
Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
"When headache joinos neuralgia ,
then comes the tug of war. " A wise
general 'marshals his forces , charges
with a bottle of Salvation Oil , and the
doughty foe lies cringing in the dust.

Winter Vegetable * .
Philadelphia Record : A small plot of
round , with suitable hot beds and cold
frames , Can bo made to yield quitfe a
supply of given food in winter or' curly
spring. While the fall is the proper
time for preparation , yet eArly spriiig ,
or even in midwinter , vegetables mkvy
; ) e forced for the table , or advanced'in
growth 60 nfc to pcrniit of being trans
planted to the open ground ns soon ns
Lhe weather will permit. The seeds of
tomatoes , cabbngo and egg-plants may
MJWII now. Egg-plants hre very lou
der , nnd the slightest cold will kill
them. The potato beetle is vary fond
of them and will destroy them quickly
when in the opun ground. Lettuce is a
very hardy plunt and will thrive in a
cold frame. Even the south side of a
sheltered place in the open air will
allow them to grow nnd thrive. Ono of
the best And hardiest bf winter veg
etables is'spinach. It is vcally a winter
plant , and if grown now it should bo
KOWII thickly in a cold frame , as the fill
is the proper time to put in the seed. It
requires but a&llght coveringandfreez
ing docs it but llttlo , If any damage ; but
it should ho grown on n dry location.
It may be cut throughout the whole
winter If the snow should not
prevent. A hnrdy nnd quick-grotting
green vegetable is mustard. It may be
BoWn very early and gorminutes in about
n week if the grouitd is warm. It is
very tfciuler when cut , young , and can
be grown with but little labor. Knlols
n smooth , tender vegetable when cooked
and also stands n slight froit. It must
be considered that in order to got tender
Vegetables they should be grown
uickly , and not allowed to npprondh
_ ho Reeding stngd ; hence it is often
the case that hot beds. are superior lo
told transit's. Thu lettuce , for instance ,
may no grown every month in the your ,
but it growb slowly in very cold wenthor ,
or only holds what it has secured , aiid
beconics more or less lough to a certain
extent , but when grown by forcing in
the hot-beds nnd used when Only laro
enough for that hurposo it is very crisp
nnd tender. Radishes are easily grown
And are ready for the table ih a short
times after the seed 1ms gone ih , but un
less a riidhh bo tender it will bo of no
bervico , heiice the proper way to pro
duce them of Ihe quality desired is to
force them. As a rule , early cabbage is
not grown to n largo alac , and very llrm
heads should not be expected , ns it re
quires time to grow largo and firm
heads , and whore dirtiness is desired
borne points must be sacrificed. The
potato onion is ono of Iho early kinds ,
nnd , though not us desirable as the well
knbwn market sorts , is one of the
I'ftHiest and best for the table in sping.
Of peas the earliest nr < S the dwarf kinds ,
but they are not oq'Ual in quality Ic

Knec-RpruiiK Horses.
It is a slow and troublosomb task lo
cure n knbe-sprUlig horse after the trou
ble has become chronic , but if taken in
time , says nn exchange , it should bo
cured without much difficulty. Mniiy
young hortiea * 'go over in the knees , " to
u small extent by standing on it llooi
that slopes downward from the mangoi
for the purposn of readily carrying off
the urine. A young horuo standing dn
a lloorof this kind has his toes highei
than his heels and the dontinucd strain
on the back sinewB of the fore legs becomes
comes bo severe that the horse is in
duced to slightly bond his knees ii :
order to slacken tlio tension. He thus
acquires the habit of standing will :
slightly bonded knees whether ho Imp
pens to bo standing on an inelino or i
iovol. The way to overcome this ovi !
is to precisely reverse the conditions
which induce it. Make the horse
btand so that his heels will stain
considerably higher than his toes
This , abnormally Blackens his
back sinews , and they afford no supper
to keep the knees from btill further
bending. The horse has nothing to
stendj- his knees , and in order to fine
something that will answer the purpose
ho will straighten out his legs to the
fullest extent to force some llttlo pressure
sure upon those very sinews w'hich his
elevated heels and slightly bondot
knees Imvo wholly Blackened. Ho thus
acquires the habit of standing with his
knees slightly bent under reserved con
dition * . If any farmer doubts the cor
redness of this theory , lot him stand on
the level Hoer with the balls of hU fee
resting upon nn ordinary walking stick
and , after experimenting with it in this
position for five minutes , let him place
the stick under his heels. In the firs
instance ho will quickly feel inclined to
bend his knees , and in the second ho
will bo equally disposed to straighten
them. If the sprung knees do not yiolt
readily to the treatment described , we
would recoimu'ond long-continued show
orlncwlth cold water , patient Imml-
rtibmngof the hack sinews and nppllca-
lens of land-turtle oil.
ScAHonnblo Hints nnd
To enrich hind that is poor wo must
invo manure , or its equivalent In vcg-
ilablo matter , or apply plant food
n some shape to induce tlio growth of
vegetation.
Professor Arnold states that it costs
nero to make milk from old cows than
t dee * from young ones having the rntuo
nllk capacity. As a rule the best effects
lo not last beyond the eighth year of
he cow's ngc.
It requires nbout one-sixteenth less
oed to put an animal in condition in
rarm than it does in cold weather. If
ho dairyman expect his cows to bo pro-
Uablo ho must look after their comfort
both ns to food nnd shelter.
Corn nnd timothy nro fnr from n
wcll-bnlnnccd food. Timothy has no
excess of nitrogenous material , while
ho corn is highly carbonaceous. Moro
nuscle and milk forming material
Vould make more and better milk.
The raising of forest trees is regarded
is ono of the most profitable industries
n southern California. The eucalyp
tus , pecan , black walnut , cherry ,
nnd many other varieties have u quick
jrowth and are very prolltablo to the
ilanter.
When you buy a sheep for purposes
10 sure that It is bettor than the best
ono in your flock in blood nnd physical
development nnd POO to it that it is
cared ' for like any other piece of of val-
lablo property. Good live stock like
food clothes , cannot bo 'exposed to nil
duels of hardship without showing the
effects of such harsh treatment.
The supreme court of North Carolina
lolds that if n crop bo in actual posses
sion of the tenant , his taking the sntno
would not constitute larceny ; but if
after the crop had been put in the
actual possession of the landlord ,
ihoucrh undivided , the tenant in taking
the same would bo guilty of larceny ,
Iho legal ownership being in the lessor.
Every attention should bo given the
young lambs as they nro born , nnd the

Forced in growth , eons to roach the

liighcr prices.
Hens that nro laying may bo liberally
fed on n variety , as the production of
eggs will cause an appropriation of ail
tlio food to that purpose ; but hens not
laying must bo fed sparingly or they
will become too fat and fail to lay.
The cost of corn for simply keeping
tho'hogs of the United States warm has
been estimated at (75,000,000 , that being -

Judging by 'points" on

the prize animals at the fat stock show
received the awards for dressed car
casses after having been slaughtered.
The liquids oT the stabler nro from
tlu-co to five times as valuable as the
solid portions , and it pays to sftVo such.
The best mode of so doing is to use some
kind of nbborbont material.
Save the fresh horse manure , tvoo
from litter , for , your hotbeds , and" use
plenty of it , in order to rapidly gener
ate heat when the frame shall bo r6idy.
An ordinarp rubber atomizer , whibh
costs about $2 , is an excellent article for
spraying houeo plaiita or green hodso
plants when affected by plant lice.
Thcro is still hope for sheep being
profitable , fts it is cmlmod that Canntta
furnishes more sheep for thO Boston
market than any state in our union.
A certain proportion of animal heat
must bo cronte'd daily from the food , or
thUt stored us fat in the body will bo re
sorted to in order to counteract the ef
fect of cold. There is no "standstill"
in the matter , as animals are either los
ing ffosh , or gaining. Every pound lost
causes a real loss of two , as the time and
expense of regaining that which Is lost
will bo doubled.
Despite the oleomargarine law the
production of choice "gilt-edged" but
ter is far below the demand , ns ft larger
proportion o ! inferior butter finds its
way to market. The creameries send
butter of the most uniform quality to
market , but that from private dairies
differs greatly.
Incubators are now established nil over
Iho country , mid in experienced hantis
have been demonstrated as far superior
to hens for hatching early broilers , Us
they can bo put in operation at anytime
thus ehnbling the operator to got the
broilers in market nl any period de
sired.
A single diseased animal may entail a
loss to a ootrimunily amounting to thou
sands of dollars. It cost Missouri $1,000-
000 nnd ten months time to stamp out
plouro-pnoumoilia , while the Ions to the
cattlemen of Kentucky has reached fully
2,000,000.
Onions are often put out in the month
of March ns they are hardy and endure
quite a severe frost. The sooner they
can bo put out nnd made to rapidly grow
the better , ns they do not make rapid
progrcssuftcr the beginning of wnrm
weather.
The yield of cream nnd butter from
milk should under most circumstances
naturally increase in proportloil to the
milk as the amount of Jio butter is
lessened. A fnrrow cow five or six
months after calving gives less richer
milk than she does nt first. But what
avails this to the buttohnnker , if he or
she cannot separate the butter from the
cronnl in which it is inclosed ? Addliig
wnrm sweet milk seems to entirely re
move the difficulty , nnd has many other
iucidcntiul advantages.
Savage Tactics.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch : "I have
nerved on the plains continuously foi
more than thirty-flvo years , " said a
cavalry major , ' 'and nm tolerably
familiar With all the features of cav
alry life. A cavaU'vniaii always has a
frontier station , and only sees civiliza
tion during his brief loaves. Civilians
do not rcali/o the hardships and ex-
to which a cavalryman Is sub-
ccted. Ho has seasons of illness , but
also long periods of great oxorlion
nnd as a proof of the effect of his life H
can bo safolv" stated that scarcely one
man out of toh reaches the ngo o
forty-fivo without being seriously
broken down. Indian campaigns nro
the cause of this. I have fought nm
chased Indians from the British line to
the Rio Grande and know what cam
paigning means. The Indians always
got a tremendous stnrt of the cavalry
nnd seldom are overtaken. The arm }
has beort blnmed for its ill-succosi , bul
when the circumstances are understood
it is wonderful that so much has boon
accomplished.
"Nowadays the active Indian cam
paign is confined to Arizona , but when I
was a young man the northern Sioux

feet in the north ; the southern Sioux
and the Choyenncs nnd Arapahocn on
the central ulains , and theComnmnohos
and Kiowns south of the Arkansas' , hep
us busy nil the time. Of all these In
dians the Kiowas were the bent drilled
it being hard to distinguish them from
the dragoons at a distance of two 01
throe miles. The Comanchcrf never deserved

ng seen n ulnglo chief direct the movo-
iicnts of a thousand warriors , scattered

nany lives have been lost in this v ay.
Mghtlng withal , was rather n run than
n combat , and the troops had for nmny
cats little chance ngninst them on ac-
ount of their grout celerity of move
ment. It wns not until the winter of
870 , when Gonoi-ftl Nelson A. Miles bo-
ran his series of winter campaigns , that
ho Plaids Indians were thoroughly sub-
lued ,
' That officer followed tholr trail in
ho coldcht weather , drove them from
heir winter camps , and , although un-
iblo to overtake them , kept them con-
itantly on the move. The Indians , Son-
itivo to eold and ill-provided with
clothing , died like sheep of hardship
nnd exposure , and one by ono the bands ,
airly tired out , came in , surrendered
mil were disnt mod and were put on
reservations. The winter campaign
moro than anything olio brnko the

sxpenso to the troops , who were ox-
wsed to the fury of the western storms

oungsters in the army regret the dis
