Warmoth has written a letter acci-ptiner tlie re publican nomination for Governor of Louisiana. It is in strict accord with most of the principles enunciated in the Democratic State platform. It favors white supremacy, promises the retention of faithful servants in office, and advises republicans in local con tests to vole for the b st man, .hop ing that Democrats will do the same. At present ihere cannot be too many gorgeous stuffs, too many filmy laces, nor too abundant fancies id rich toilets for occasions. Much of the elegance is supplied by color, there having been few years when- such rich iones were in favor, and s ill fewer when it was admissible to min gle bright hues to the degree which is done at present. Golden tints which vie with the sands of Paciolus in their power of reflecting and re taining sunlight are doubly welcomed after the long reign of shadows; and dull tones during theasthe icpeHod. rl have just sold some young hogs. There is nothing remarkable about that, but the weight I think was good. Out of the lot of four teen, two were March pigs, the re mainder came from the first to the middle of April, which would make them just about seven months old. The average weight was two hundred and three quarters of a oound. ;Tne pigs were lroni grade Poland-China sews and a thoroughbred boar,which cross produces a pig good enough for any one to feed. As to treatment, as soon as they were laige enough to eat ; they wtre fed on shipstuff or shorts once a day, and were allowed to run in a good blue grass pasture, with a small feed of corn twice a day. The aim was simply to keep them in good growing condition. When about six months old they were confined in a pen and fed all the corn they would eat With an Occasional f of thip s uff. They were confined in a fcen, not because that was considered bet ter than allowing them to . run at large, but because it was neceraary to keep from overfeediig breed ing sows nd o her hogs. I tink many farmeis make the mistake of overstocking. A- few hogs welj cared for, will always be more profita ble than a large number poorly cared for. The wiittr has. kept four breed ing Slows and within the last year has 6oldT'aud retained for use considerably more than three hundred dollars worth of hogs. One of your corres pondents rematks that "his hobby is clover.", My hobby is a variety ct good feed for s ock. If a farmer has corn and no money he would bt" er haul a load of corn to town and bring ba It bran and ship stuff. The policy of all corn id doing about as much to keep farmers poor as ten per cent mortgages, and between he two, , it is hard times for many western farmers. 71 M. 2'erral in Journal of Agri culture.

Senate. session of the Senate U0US,E. : Mr. Anderson, of Illinois, from the postoGice committee, reported favora bly the resolution directing the Post master General to inquire into and inform the House of the cause and foundation for the grievances com plained of in a Kansas newspaper re garding the Western mail service, and also to inform the House whether the almost universal complaint prevailing iu the West against the present unsat isfactory mail service results from the employment of inexperienced and in capably employees or insufficient ap propriations. The committee reported tho amend ment adding to the resolution tho following: "and also that tlie Postmas ter-General be directed to further in quire tiud inform he House what, if any, improvements and extensions have been made in the mail service of the west during the last two years." Mr. Dockery, of Mo., said hat he did not care to discuss the merits of the resolution. He would say, however, that the post-otlice department, the committee and 'the Democratic side of the House courted the fullest in vestigation of the matter, and he was confident that investigation would show that the postal - service was as efficient, if not more so, than at any time iri its history. Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, wanted all of the fac s laid before the Iioa&e. If the bad service was the fault of the House in consequence of inadequate appropriations, tie desired to know it, and if it was the fault of the adminis tration that should be made known. The resolution had been approved on the 23d of last month and, Under the rules, ; should have been reported within one week. Iu that particular the postoffice committee was almost as unsatisfactory as the mail service. The resolution was nH political, and the complaints came from Democrats and Republicans alike. When the answer came he would undertake to show that they were: well founded. The resolution was finally adopted. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, called at tention to the four, bills relating Co the alcoholic liquor tat iff iu tho Dis trict of Columbia which had been re ferred to the Diwtrict committee and moved to have them referred to the committee on the alcoholic liquor tar iff. After some debate this motion was agreed to by a vote of 116 to 20 Another bill, relating to the special tax upon liqucr dealers was, on Mr. Campbell's motion transferred from traffic to the ways and means commit tee.

At 4.30 the House adjourned till Monday, leaving the Mclvoy bill the unfinished business up to next Friday morning. When the committee rose Mr.' Mills moved that when the House adjourn ed today it adjourn until Monday. Agreed to. Two bills on the private calendar, which had been favorably reported from the committee of the whole, were then taken up; the first, for the relief of C M. Briggs, deceased, was passed with little objection. Iu the second, however, that, for the relief of Nathaniel McKay and the executors of Donald McKay, Mr. Springer in terposed vigorous resistance, and al though tho House refused to second his demand for the ayes and noes, be succeeded in preventing its passage, by demanding the reading of the en grossed bill.

A Bal imore telegram says : A piti ful ; spectacle was presented at the Southern police station this morning, when a uatrolman led in a beautiful eirl, apparently not more than eigh teen years old, so scantily clad tnat she had been found nearly frozen to death, huddled in an unused ash-cart in an alley. From the wild stare in her black eyes and her strange actions it was evident that she was insane. Her black hair hung down her back and the drizzling rain on it had mat ted it and frozen. Her scant calico dress was covored with sleet and her feet weie almost bare. No one knew her. She did not appear to be a vagrant, but was likely a stranger here. At times there was a gleam of intel ligence in her beautiful face, and then she, would talk to those about her. Once she said her name was Maggie and that her husband was an army officer who had a pension of $3,000 a year. It is not believed that she is a married woman. The police-'are try ing to find her friends. She appears to be refined. During her msano wanderings she frequently exclaimed, "Qb, my brain, my brain ! ana, put ting her hand U- her head, seemed trying to forco her mind to'respond to the questions asked as to her identity. - -,- - . Gov. Foraker has indicated his willingness to go to the Republican national convention as one of the delegates at large from Ohio. Though oeteusibly in favor of the nomination of Senator Sherman, it is known to his most intimate friends that For aker is not averse to being struck by Presidential lightning, and he doubt less has in remembrance the nomina tion which came to Garfield whilst he was on the. floor of the convention as a delegate at large from Ohio in the interest of Sherman. VIOLENT EXPLOSION AT WILKESBARRE, PENNSYL- VANIA. FOUR MEN INSTANTLY killed by EXPLOSION OF A POWDEK MILL. THE AVilkesbabre, Pa., Feb. 10 At 10 o'clock this morning a severe shock was felt in thi citv. Shortly after ward it was learned that a violent Biplosion had occurred at Bupont's powder works at Wapallopen, twenty miles from here, and that four men were instantly killed. Their names as given are Peter Kishbaugh, George Stout. John Hoffman and ,B. Betts. The explosion took place in' the pack ing house where several tons oi pow der had been stored. The cause of tte accident is not known as yet. The force of the shock was dis tinctly felt here. The) windows in all the buildings rattled and the officials at the court-house here thought there was an earkV .u., ci i.ie v, i j lug shook violently. At Nanticoke and Wanname the chimneys toppled from the roofs of the buildings, chil dren ran in terror from school houses and women flocked towards the mines where they thought the explosion happened. At Wapawallo pen nearly every building was dam aged or wrecked. Besides those killed over forty persons were in jured, fourteen of whom, it is said, will die. Four of the men killed were blown to pieces and only small por tions of their bodies have been found. The cause of the accident is not known, as all' those who were in the building are dead. FROM WASHINGTON. Cor. of the News and Observer. Washington, D. C, Feb. 9, 1888. Mr. Henderson has not permitted any grass to grow under his feet since the introduction of his bill to amend and modify the internal reve nue lawB. It was promptly -considered by the judiciary committee nnd he was lucky enouprh yesterday to pass it in the House without opposi tion. It will go to the Senate, when Senators Ransom and Vance will see that it gets prompt consideration. It is not likely to undergo material alter ation, if any, in the Senate. Though slightly amended by the House judi ciary committee, it is distinctively the Henderson bill, and the people who have been oppressed and har assed by United States commission ers and deputy marshals can thank Mr. Henderson for his diligent and successful efforts in their behalf. mc'clasuit gets thebk. It was your correspondent's pre diction early in the session that Representative McClammy would get there, aU the same. He is a very busy man, and if his constitu ents who want anything here fad to lie printer Benedict is understood to be he toughest case to manage in the ; matter of appointments- He is not; hampered by civil service rules, and, ot course, is subjected to great pressure. One of his duties is to make and find places for! Congressmen, and the successful administration of the of fice is simply a question of physical endurance. This fact he never so fully realized nntil recently, when the Pender representative made him a third or fourth visit to remind him of his "promise," which he always makes when he has nothing better on hand. The mention of t he matter, very delicately put; by the modest Caroli nian, caused an explosion of wrath that might well have appalled a less nervy and plucky man than McClam my.; Benedict walked ihe floor with the tragic strides of a Roman gladia tor ; cursing the fate that made him Public Prin er. His life was a burden to him, he said, and made so ly importunate Congressmen. "Calm yourself, my friend," Baid the imperturbable Mc Clammy, "and let me give you a little piece of advice. I know advice is cheap, but in this instance you may find a comforting thought in it. I have been in public life several years and when I found it irksome and disagreeable I alwa s resigned. Our laws are just and considerate and they do not compel a man to hold office against bis wishes or inclina tion." He did not wait to see the effect of " j Parthian dart, but tho next day nd received a communica tion from the Public Printer say ing: "Telegraph your man to report at once." It is not to be inferred (that Benedict fcontemp'ates resigna tion. Few office-hold jrs die; none resign. But the Tar-Heel Cincinna tus has shown him the straight way out of his manifold troubles and vex ations. Hereafter he will have him- self alone to blame and not "unfortu nate Congressmen." But why not abolish the government printing office, create a Commissioner of Print ing and let the work to contract congressional notes. The Senate Las agreed to vote on the Blair Educational bill next Wednesday. It was Blair's purpose to force a vote today, but he yielded, reluctantly, to Senator Plumb, who is proposing a statistical speech in opposition, to the bill. 1 hat tne bill will pass the Senate nobody doubts. Tha it is steadily losing ground in public favor is also self evident. The House committee will amend it until it will be a misnomer to call it i he "Blair bill." Riddleberger is the "drawing card" in the Senate.;" He fills the galleries every day, and then fills the Senate with consternation by his persistent and irrepressible attempts to have the British treaty considered in open session. Every parliamentary gag has been applied to him, but he is not to be muzzled in that way. Noth ing short of ah executive session will take him off the floor. That leaves him without an audience. He wants to talk to the reporters and the gal leries. It! is understood that the speech he is trying so hard to get off will make a decided sensa tion if it is delivered in open session of the Senate. Today be had ihe opportunity to say that the treaty was defeated in executive session by a vote of 23 to 21. Senator Hawley protested against the statement as "a conscious and wilful defiance of the Senate rules.-' Riddlebererer didn't care a d , and said so. He seems to be satisfied with having twisted the lion's tail. The party lash has been applied with more vigor than decency to the forty-five Democrats who voted to re tain White, the Indiana Republican, in his seat. White had exercised all the rights of citizenship in Indiana for forty years and was elected a member of the 50th Congress by a majority of over 2,000 votes. He could not pro duce his naturalization papers, if, in deed, they ever had an existence. But at best there was only a technical ob jection. There is nothing in the Democratic support he received to warrant the impeachment of party fidelity, and it is not an uncommon thing for Democrats to ignore tho elections committee. Rowland was the single North Carolina member who votedfor White, and it would be hard to find a more loyal Democrat Oklahoma is the next Territory to be admitted into the Union. The committee on Territories has re ported a bill denning its boun daries and providing the usual form of territorial governments. There are 60,000 "boomers" anxiously wait ing for the word to move in and take possession It has rich soil in great abundance, is finely watered and pos sesses the finest climate in the world, so they say, There seems-to be no let-up in the popularity of the President's tariff message. One of the Demociatic as sociations in this city last night or dered 250,000 copies printed for im mediate circulation. This runs its circulation up to nearly one million. It has yet to be answered. Senator Kenna said to me yester-1 day, that be found it impossible to add anything to it, and therefore made a campaign speech in reply to John Sherman. Commissioner Colman has not yet decided to remove statistician Dodge. The tobacco growers throughout the country have demanded his removal, and a petition, signed by over 80 member's of Congtess in that behalf has been filed with the Commissioner. The accusation is that the tobacco market was influenced by his incor rect figures as to the size of the crop. It is not charged that the mistake was intentional or that Dodge was ben efited by it How to correct the abuses under the present system of erecting pub lie buildings wai the subject of a run ning debate in the Senate today. It was maintained that the government ought to build as individuals build strictly according to business princi ples. Senator Vest favored a commis sion, composed of the Secretaries of the Treasury, Interior and " ar De partments, who shall determine when erected and at what eoslT This) fe said, would prevent the disgraceful Ipg-rolling that now distinguishes the consideration jol all public budding legislation.

THE L-IBBY-PRISO SALE. Plana for Kemovlng the Buildlag from Hlehmond. Richmond Dispatch. The Chicago Times, in its account of the purchase of Libby Prison, says : "The contract for the building and property will be closed this month, and the managers hope to have the original chandlery-shop of Libby & Son on exhibition by tne time tne xve nublicnn National Convention meets next June. As quickly as possible the remainder of the structure will be placed in position. The building is practically unchanged since war times, and is as solid as ever, not withstanding its advanced age. It is a sturdy structure, with wall, twenty inches thick. The checkerboards cut by the Union prisoners are still to be seen on the solid oak planks, while its interior is entirely covered with the names of men who were inmates during the terrible struggle. While the building is being razed, every bit of material ; will be numbered, and photographs will be taken at every stage of the work as a guide to the workmen in rebuilding. It will be Blow, careful, and expensive work. New Yorkers were desirous of having the building in Gotham as soon as they beard of Mr. Gray's idea." THl LIBBY LOT TO BE SOLD. Mr. Louis Rawlings, of the firm of Rawlings & Rose, who effected the sale, sajB that the Chicago gentle men have requested him to Bell the lot for them. He ill therefore, as soon as the building has been remov ed, offer it at public auction. A member of the Council has ad vanced the idea that it will be a wise idea for the city to purchase the lot and make it a small park; that the historic "memories that cluster around the spot will render the park an at tractive resort. i Dr. J.
