The public Is Invited to bo present. Aliorso attached to ono of William Welch's hnuks created considerable excitement on Uroadwuy , yesterday afternoon. The ani mal jumped ever the pole , and for n few seconds made things remarkably lively by his terrific kicking and lunging. Several of the spectators took a hand , und the diniculty wns adjusted without any serious damago. The unruly brute was then taken to the stable. Public attention , yesterday , seemed to center on the Cnautauiia ] , aiido from the churches. During the afternoon the road lend in t' to the Chautauqua grounds was tilled with u steady string of carriages , and It was estimated that fully three times as many pcoplo visited the grounds as have ever before - fore been there in ono day. The work al ready done was u matter of great surprise to allot them. For the first time many of them fully realized what the result of this grand enterprise will be , nnd expressed their as tonishment at its magnitude and Importance. The attention of the city authorities Is called to the fact that every Sunday after noon , while services are In progress nt Har mony Mission , a crowd of boys , or half- grown men. assemble In front of the place and play ball. The language used is hardly in keeping with the day and place , being pro- fiuio and obscene. Thcso services are seriously disturbed by this gang of Sabbath breakers , nnd the worshipers there ask ttiut this cause of complaint bo removed to some spot where they will not bo annoyed by it.

The ob servance of Easier was Ronornl nmotiK ( ill denominations. The presbytery being In srsslon hero , n goodly nmount of pulpit oratory wa * drawn from that bountiful source. The supplies In the various pulpits Reamed to bo highly satisfactory , and the sermons reflected credit upon1 the branch of the church furnishing such pulpit power. The weather boliiR favorably for the wear ing of the new bonnets , and the church at tractions being special , the pews in all. the churches were Illlcd , aud in some churches , as at St. Paul's ' Episcopal , chairs in the ulslo wcro culled Into use. bT. PAUL'S. St. Paul's church Is a peculiarly popular , ) luco of worship , on Easter Sunday. Yester day Indicated that the popularity has not waned. The church was crowded , morning and evening. The Moral decorations were all In pink and white. The marble baptismal font was almost hidden with blossoms from the trees , there being In this n delicate nl- luslon doubtless to the appropriateness of the christening services. Easter lilies and ferns wore In abundance. Several of the memorial windows wore decorated beauti fully , noticeably the Stcxvari. window , at whoso base was n rich mound of flowers. The musical portion of the service had boon prepared with ijreat care. It was elaborate and well executed. At the Congregational church thcro wcro some very pleasing dccoiations. Among them was un arch of green , from which was suspended a largo boll of roses. Above the ureh appeared , in golden letter , "Ho is Uisen. " Thcro wcro numerous Easter lilies , lilies of the valley , ferns , etc. The male quartette gave some Inspiring anthems. The sermon , on "Tho Destiny of the Soul , " was by Hov. W. S. Barnes , of Corning. Ho is a boyish-looking minister , apparently a ito young in years. His sermon showed no youthfulncss or frivolity of thought , though. It was ono of those few sermons to which justly belongs the udjcutlvo , "sttong. " The audience listened closely to every word. Clear In diction , close in reasoning , earnest In delivery , it was a treat to these who occu pied the pews. The Sunday school of this church had some novel exorcises In connection with the regular noon session. Some emblems wcro used , and tncso explained in connection with the lesson of the day. In the evening the Juvenile Society of Christian Endeavor held a pleasing service in the auditorium of the church , ifi place of the usual evening preaching service. The programme consisted of a llowcr service , in which thp language of each flower was made a little lesson. Little Ned Walker recited a brief prayer. Lutio Pryor gave n short ser mon on "Consider tlio Lilies. " Others who took part in recitations and songs are : 13ello Snyder , Robert Wallace , Winnie Mclntyro , Meda Kirklaml , Gertie Bennett , Anna Walker and Etu Otis. It was a unique and interesting service throughout. sr. XAVIEH'S. St Xavier's Catholic church was crowded to its utmost. The services wcro In con formity with the usual rites and ceremonies of the church. Special music was given by the choir. Noticuublo was Millard's mass in Bb. It was rendered at the morning service , and grandly so , much care having been given by the singers in its preparation. METIIUIH&T. At the Methodist eh ureh the floral decora tions were profuse and their arrangement most appropriate to the Jay. Above the alcove - cove was the inscription , "Ho Is Hison. " A hugo arch , reaching from cither side of the auditorium , uroso over the altar. Upon it was the following:1 'Wo , Too , Shall Uiso on That Glorious Morn , " both sentiments cm- bodying the lesson taught by the day. In front ot the speaker's desk arose a pyramid of llowors and smllax , while upon either side were potted flowers in profusion. The grouping was beautiful. The sermon was by the Rev. T. C. Smith , of Clurinda , a member of tno presbytery. The text was in I. Cor. xviO : ! , "Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. " The subject was treated from n literal standpoint , showing the speaker to bo a lltcralist in his belief in the truths and exposition of the stated facts of scripture. It was an able effort. The au dience w.is ono of the largest that ever as sembled within these w.ills and the attention given the speaker was a decided compliment to him. The evening services consisted of n Sun day school missionary concert in whicli reci tation and song were the essential features. The collections mudo by the various classes during the preceding week wcro announced. The amount was a large ono. 1'IIESIITTISIIUN. The services at the Presbyterian church wcro particularly Impressive. The floral decorations aided in this effect. Upon the speaker's stand was a beautiful white mal- tcso cross. ' This is the emblem of the "King's Uaughto'rs , " and was placed by them. Other designs appeared hero and there as taste and the sentiment of the occasion had suggested. A number of divines were present morn ing , afternoon and evening , and assisted in the services. The sermon of the morning was by the moderator , Rev. O. A. Elliott , of Logan. Ho spoke from the text found In Acts " 7 : 3. Ho draw a sharp distinction be tween admiration and love as the feelings of men toward God. Also between church membership and the membership of Christ's body. The sermon wis : an instructive ono. The music was an important feature. The chorus tendered an Easter unthoni nilimra- bly. Mrs. Judd sang "Resurrection" very ef fectively as an offertory. The chorus was under the direction of Prof. Uacteus , with Will Thlckstun at the organ. - At . ' ) o'clock p. m. the sacrament of the Lord's supper waa administered. The evening services were important , in that two young men wore ordained for the ministry. These are Rev. CIcorgo B. Ueed , of Walnut , and Rov. John A. Fitch , who re ceived this setting apart to the work as a special dedication to the missionary work. He satis In September for northern China. The sermon was by the Rov. A. L. Sarcliet , of Hedford. The charge was given by Dr. Phclps , Rov. W , II. Snyder also assisted In the services. The "Laying on of Hands" was Impressive. The candidates knelt be fore tfio altar. The moderator placed bin hands upon their heads and llio entire pres bytery gathered about them and placed their hands upon the heads of the candidates. Mrs , Orphia Myers sang as a solo , " 1'ho Day is Done , " and sang it well. iiAi-Tisr. Thn pulult nt the First Baptist church was lllled by the Rev. W. V. Jeffries , of Malvern. The contest between right and wrong now in progress in the world , was the subject , taken from thu words of Christ : "Bo of good chcor. I have overcome the world. " The effort was an excellent ono , giving the assurance of llio triumph of good und tha 11 mil conquest ot the world by the children of God. The decorations upon the altar were very beautiful , and aided much In the sentiments expressed In the Easter gathering. Too evening exercises wore by the Sabbath school. They woru in harmony with the day , and were HsU-neil to by a lurpo audi ence. The btvvlco Introduced numerous novel features. ciiuitnics. Rev , John A.

Chester Luwsoo , u null cleric w the Milwaukee , nnd n lady friend wcro driving down Broadway , nnd when In front of the Bcchtclo ( ho horsq became frightened at a passing motor train und started to run. The driver lost all control ot the frantic animal , which ( lashed down the crowded thoroughfare - faro at a furious rate of speed. The narrow seat of the buggy afforded little room to hold on , nnd when the wheel struck the car track both wore hurled to the granite pavement. The lady struck on her head , nnd It was feared that her Injuries were serious , but after being taken Into Young's drug store Dr. Thomas examined the Injuries and pronounced them of little importance , other than cf n painful nature. The lady's chcoMvus badly bruised , but that was her only Injury. She was removed to the residence of Mr. Liuvaon In n hack , and the doctor stated that after she recovered from the nervous shock slio would bo nblo to attend to her duties ns usual. She refused to give her name , dreadIng - Ing any publicity In the matter , and for the benefit of the curious , it will only bo stated that she is n school teacher from Mills county. The horse belongs to the livery stable ot Theodora Bray , and has always been regarded as safe under all circum stances. lie wound up his mad flight , bottom tom side up , In Indian creek In the rear of Mr. Bray's stable. The buggy was badly wrecked , the wheels being telescoped and the shafts broken. Had the unltnni stopped boforn going into the creek the damage would have boon slight , as ho walked around the barn Into n corner , then turned around and dellDorately started down the steep bank. He landed on his back at the cdgo of the water. The escape of the patient was most fortu nate , and could hardly bo expected under such circumstances once in a thousand times.

The sooner the ground is ready and the seed is put in the bettor the corn resist the drought , should it occur hut as no estimate can he made of the number of frosts that may oacur later on , thcro is more or loss risk to incur. It is hotter to plant the seed as soon as it may bo supposed safe to do so , aud depend - pond on replanting than to wait until danger of frost is gone. A Into crop , if overtaken by a dry season , may not have time to mature before the fall frosts appear , but it is certain that even under the most unfavorable circum stances the fodder can bo secured , which is of itself a very important item of the corn crop. Use seed that is from a tried variety , and give the young plants an early start. An old piece of sod land plowed in the fall in order to destroy the worms and allow the frost to pulverize it , and the land well manured and cross-plowed in the spring , if not too wet , is considered the best for corn. The roots of the corn- plant interlace each other and cover the whole ground , feeding on all kinds of plant food that can be appropriated Any kind of cheap fertilizer will give the plants a good sotid-oll if ap plied in the hill. If the soil is rich and has been well manured the cheapest substance to use in the hill is land plas ter , as it attracts moisture and assists in disintegrating the particles of plant food already existing in the soil. As the sod begins to rot the corn-roots ap propriate it and hasten the work of de composition. Ono object of a corn crop should bo to prepare the land for the crop that is to follow , as the corn requires constant cultivation and loaves the ground clean nnd free from grass and weeds. The first preparation should be deep plow ing and thorough pulverization of the soil , which permits of greater feeding capacity to the roots and allows the plants to go down deeper for moisture. The adherents of deep and shallow cul tivation of the crop after it is well under way , now admit that the mode pre ferred depends on the kind of boil and the rainfall. It is now known that the corn roots should not bo disturbed or broken , as is done by deep cultivation , hut that when the season is dry the shallow cultivation , or simply keeping about an inch of the soil loose , con serves moisture and assists the crop by the top soil serving as a mulch to arrest the process of evaporation. This will also keep down the grass and weeds. If thii soil is lightly stirred after each rain a vigorous crop cannot ho severely injured unless by a long-continued drought. _ Fluid Hoot Crops. An acre devoted to carrots , parsnips , beets nnd turnips will provide an nmount of succulent food for winter use that not only lessons the grain re quired , but promotes the health and thrift of the animals. Though low in nutritious value , yet the enormous crops that may ho obtained inoro than recompense for any deficiency that may exist otherwise. Root crop < largely take the place of ensilage where biles have not boon constructed , and one acre in roots will enable the farmer to keep more htock and have the animals in bettor condition than from any other crop that can he grown. The difllcuUy with carrots and pars nips is the extra work required with the crop after the seed is sown , the slow germination dobtroying the lines of the rows , us grass covers the entire plot hooro ( the needs begin to shove out thnir young plants , the tedious labor of Jiuiid-woeding being required. Tills dilllculty , however , has been overcome by mixing the boods of quick-germinat ing plants , such us radiBu , with that of the carrou or parsnips. The radish soon comes up , the rows can bo worked , und the radish then pulled up and mar keted or fud to the pigs.- Improved seed drills noxv drill the Good at regular places in the rows , nnd of sufficient distance to permit the hoe to bo used. Once the young plants are up and worked the dlnicultv IB over , as the plnnts soon tnko posses sion nnd crowd ofit jho woods and grass. Another tlillloullv' is that of storage. The practice of heaping the roots in mounds , to bo left out during the winter - tor , renders the task of feeding them to stock very disagreeable , especially when the ground isifrozon. This is now overcome by storing thorn in bins , In a. cold collar , nnu , j ( n-ofcrrod , they may bo packed in dry earth in the bins. C Beets , rat-rots * parsnips and turnips grow from small socds. and from three to five pounds will sufllco for planting an acre of ground , while the potato must ho grown from bulky tubers , .as much as IHtccn or twenty bushels being required for an aero , according to the mode of planting. If the cutting ol the potato seed , the labor of destroying the bcotlo and the lower koop'ng ' qualities of the potato , compared with the carrot or parsnip , he considered , the cost of production should bo no more for the carrots and parsnips than for the former , while 11 much larger yield and of more valuable feuding material ( not excepting the tops ) , may ho obtained. If such crops are to bo grown , however , farmers should not wait longer , hut got the seed in early Many crops have been failures owing to the delay In planting. the grass being well up before the seed has gormlnntod. The root crops should bo well started before warm weather , so as to hotter resist the drought , and also to allow as much time as possible for completing growth. The soil should he rich , line , and the crops thorough ly cultivated. Note * for City Gardeners. The hard question for dwellers in cities who desire to have gardens is to decide what will best endure I ho nar row space and the gas. smoke and other U "ban annoyances bays the San Fran cisco Examiner. On a north wall plant ivy , of which ono may ttsjo the common , the Algo- rionsis or the white mottled. On it south wall plant eydonia jnpomca , with its brilliant criimon and pink visitation bloom in spring ; also , the pyrus pyru- canthu , whose autumn scarlet of berries is most attractive. Both those are ad mirable wall shrubs for city gardens. On the northern exposures plant poly anthuses , myosotiscs , saxifrages , peri winkles ( white , blue , plain-leaved and variegated ) , the white garden lily of ancient fame and such flowering bulbs as crocuses and daffodils. There might also ho columbines , irises and ferns of many sorts. On the eastern and south ern slopes of the garden ( if any such thcro chance to ho ) , anemone jabontca , Arabis , alyssuny and aubrictias suc ceed. No hint ought to he needed to make one think of pinks , pansics , violets lets , daises and wall-Ilowersttbout whoso fragrance the memories and the sa- crcdncss of childhood cluster. Sunny places must ho kopHor these pets of the garden. Then , asq ] , there may shortly ho seeds of early-blooming nmuiuls sown in available nooks. Sllcnes , clarkias , collinsias , gillins , ncmophilas , godotias , larkspurs and many similar annuals thrive with. little attention. In city gardens the 'ciionymus ' , thcancuha japonicaand the hxurcstinus are easily grown. Stachys lanata and cerastium iomentosum are good white-leaved plants. Enonymus radicatis vnriegata is a pretty shrub or wall plant. " \Ve < l Destroyers. The early weeds that spring up on fields not intended for cultivation can be kept down by a llbck Of sheep. Many weeds that are unfit for food when ma tured servo as choice morsels for many kinds of stock when they are just shoot ing out of the ground. Sheep graze very close and forage till over a Hold very industriously. They lind every vestige of green food that appears , and by keeping down the woods early the Hold can in time bo entirely cleared of the posts. _ Celery. Sow your celery seed. An ounce of seeds should produce 2,000 plants. Sow- on a line seed bed and cover the seed very lightly. If the weather should be come dry water the plants. Grass must bo kept out , and should there bo danger from heavy winds at night , or frosts , a covering of muslin hold at the corners with weights may bo spread over them though the young plants are quito hardy. t April Fnrm and Unrilcn Notes. The parsley bed is an Important ad junct to a pardon , and the seed can go In early. It is usually u long time ger minating , nnd if the bed is not fre quently hand-weeded the grass will take possession before the seed can start , and the bed will bo ruined. Lawn grass seed should bo in the ground. If deferred the growth of the grass will bo dolnyci ! by the dry days of summer. The ground Is ready for peas , if an early supply is to bo continued. Peas may bo planted in succession , two weeks apart , for family uso. as the early kinds seldom afford but a single picking. Millet seed should not go In until after all danger of frost is ovor. Like buckwheat , it is u summer plant and re quires but a short period for growth. It destroys weeds and yields enor mously. Outdoor cabbage beds may bo pro- pared. Have the bed rich and line , and sow the seed in rows so as to keep the grass out. Transplant as sbon as the young plants are largo enough. Pop-corn is a valuable plant in some sections. It is sold by the pound , grain and cob together. The rico pop-corn , which is uniformly clear and bright , is the favorite market variety. The Cory is the earliest sugar-corn , and grows hut two or three feet in height , l-'or a later cron the Evergreen may bo planted. Do not put the seed in until danger of frost has passed. Thin out all surplus plants in the hot beds if they arc crowded , and these re maining will become more stocky. The hotbed may bo loft open during the day at this season. ' The best food for making hens lay is a pound of loan meat , chopped line , given three times a week to a Hock of twenty hens. But very little grain is required at this season. Sheep fescue grass grows on soil that would not produce clover or other grasses and should bo sown for sheep. .About thirty pounds of seed are re quired for ono acre. For stock the mammoth lone rod mangel wurzolis the best on light loaii'y soils that have been deeply plowed. The globe varieties are best suited for stlfT soils. A Youthful omoo-Seokor. Washington Post : The oddest oflicc- scelter who called at the white house yesterday was a little girl , about twelve years old , wcnrintr short dresses and long yellow hair with bangs that fell almost to her oycs , She has been at the white house receptions several times , but yesterday was the first time that it transpired that she had business with the president. Her mime is Eliza beth Morroll , and she lives at a little village near Suspension Bridge , New York. She has frequently visited in Washington and used often to go and see Mrs. Cleveland , the introduction being through her French teacher , who not many years ago taught Miss Frances Folsom the correct Parisian accent. It occurred to Elizabeth that it would bo an excellent thing for her father to bo collector of the port of Suspension Bridge , nnd it seemed to her the most natural thing in the world for the president to give him the office. So yesterdar she went up to ask him for it. Sue gave her card 1 to Doorkeeper Loofllcr , who declined to take the responsibility of introducing her , and turned her over to Private Secretary Halford , and to him Miss Elizabeth told her story. It was not much different from that of the callers in the other room. Her father had worked hnrd for General Harrison in the last campaign , and , in fact , had nearly worn himself out , in his efforts for tlio success of the republican party. That is about what they all say. The young lady's application is stored away in Private Secretary Halfoad's memory , and will receive proper attention.
