Within the next two months the politicians here will be able to form an estimate of the importance of the third party niovemdnt in all parts cf the couu- try. Notwithstanding the opposi tion to the third party conference that is made by many Alliance Dem ocrats in the Southern States, the conference will be held in Cincinna ti at the appointed time, Feb. 23. and there is reason to believe, from advices received here, that it will be attendee by a number of Southern Alliance teaders. Even at Ocala th jo known in the South as Alliance Democrats who favored a third party movement, and, though they may not carry the membership of the Alliance with them when they turn up at Cincinnati in February, they will increase the apparent strength ot the conference. It is a fact worthy of note that the call for the conference has signers from ten Southern States, while but seven of the signers are from Northern States. There is to be yet another confer-. ence of the same elements, with the addition of other elements, here in Washington at about the same time ut there can be nothing beyond surmise as to its action concerning a third party. Amot'g its members will be several of the Soutberu Al iance leaders who opposed the third party project at (X-ala and voted against it in the Alliance Convention but who are now willing to hold council on the subject. Ihe meeting which they held at Jacksonville on Sunday last with representatives the Knights of La bor and other industrial oaauizi tions ended in a compromise be tween ihe opposing factions. Cne faction, which persisted in its refusa to attend the Citicinnati conference. at which tLe third party is to be launched, tiuillv agreed with the other faction to hold a separate con feience of their own at the Federa capital, The piobability is that thi wiil be a meeting of irrecoucilables and that the Powder ly faction wi go ido the third party camo. 1 .sides these two iebruary con ferences, there is to be yet anothe noteworthy gathering here in the same month, when the Presidents of the thirtyxtive State Farmers' Alii auces will assembe as the Legisla tive Council of the National Farmers" Alliance. There are many opinions as 10 whether this body will take any action, and as to w hat action it will take, upon the third party question; but th best information leads to the belief that it wii! follow the policy that was adopted at Ocala, when the third party was let alone. After the&e conferences have been held, the politicians of both parties in both Houses of Congress will be aLie to form a judgment upon cer tain questions in which they are deeply interested, and tbe Alliance members of the next House will be supplied with guidance as to the policy tLev must pursue. If the Cincinnati and Washington confer ences should turn out to be formida ble, tbe outlook will be serious; if they should lead to turmoil between the opposing factions, t-everal Res publican politicians will feel re-as sured. Highest of all in Leavening Power. TJ. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1SS9. New York Times. It is evident that the Republicans in the United States Senate usve put themselves in a very awkward posi - tion, and are anxiously casting about or some way out of the predicameut. They could easily have kept out of it, they had given heed to the em- phatic expression of popular senti ment at the November elections and allowed the Force bill to rest were it was. It was made very clear that the people of country did not desire any legislation of that kind. While protests against it have come from every quarter, North and South, and many of them froar Republican sources,there hasscarcely been a sign of any popular demand of support for it. Notwithstanding the obvious significance of all this, a few wrong- headed radicals, like Senators Hoar, Spooner and Frye, insisted upon having the mischievous measure brought up and put in the way of all other legislation, however important or earnestly demanded, though the session was absolutely limited to three months' duration. It had been made so conspicuously a party meas ure by its passage in the House at the last session, by the action al ready taken by the recommendation of its passage by the President, that even the Republican Senators who realized how unwise it was to press action upon it had not the courage to join with the Democrats in keep ing it out of the way.

Stock mav have an abundance of dry food of the very best quality, and fed to them at regular and proper intervals pf time, but it will not thrive on these un less it has access to water whenever de sired, to supply necessary moisture to the system, assist digestion and make pure blood. Running streams of water cannot be had in every pasture field, but substitutes can be supplied by artificial means. "YYelLs can be put down, and pumps introduced to bring the water up, troughs can be placed 10 receive it, ana Btock can he watered at these troughs. When stock becomes very thirsty by being kept from water too long a time, there is danger of it drinking too much; but whsn it has access to water fre- ouently, the e is no danger of this. Young stock requires watering more fre quently than older ones, as it drinks less at a time, some iarmers water tneir stock once a day, some two, some three times; this may do tolerably well in the winter for full grown stock, when the weather is very cold; but during the warm weather of summer when the days are long, ihirst will be very injurious to stock running to pasture As a rule, if you want to make money on stock it must have the best care, ii must have food and water regularly. must be kept clean, and m every way made comfortable at all seasons of the vear. must not be frightened, scolded whipped, nor in any way abused. If you English landlords are worft to in sert in the lease a clause relative to rotation of crops, or methods to be observed by the cultivator. Such clauses are to the effect that there shall be no two consecutive crops of grain: that no flax shall be grown, and tbe roots and straw shall be all consumed on the farm. The aim, of course, is to prevent the land from becoming exhaused. This is cne of the things that would make the American cultivator bestow a rather scornful pity upon the faimers who put up ith dictation of this sort from their teiritorial lords. The commonest system of rotation in England is that by which half the arable lands is devoted to green crops and half to grain. This will give the rotation as follows: 1. Wheat or barley. 2. Clover or rye grass. 3. Whet or oats. 4. Turnips. This rotation is varied by the oc casional introduction of vetches,pota toes, beans, etc. Under the desig nation of turnips are included the common turnip, Swedish turnip, and mangel vvurzel. all of them being the chief material employed for feeding bullocks and sheep during the winter months. The rotation indicated above is occasionally varied by one which gives two consecutive grain crops, oats after wheat; and the Scotcli five year rotation consists of turnips, wheat or barley, two years of grass and oats. SNOWED IN FOR THE WINTFR PRETTY STORY OF OLD TIME COl'RTESYJX A STREET CAR. street ear incident, says the Brooklyn Citizen, seems to illus trate the unconsciousness of ajv parent are. An old lady, on en tering a crowded car, caught the strap and by chance took her stand directly in front ol a lady passenger apparently as old as herself. The possessor of the seat was up in a moment. Haye my seat, madam," she exclaimed, with audible courtesy. 'You are older than lam." "Older than you!" retorted the other; "I beg a thousand par dons for contradicting my elder. but indeed, madam, you are mis taken. Keep your seat." i4But I am sure you are older than I." "And I am equally sure that I am not. Will you be good enou2.l1 to resume your seat?"' 'Not while an older woman stands." The situation was growing in teresting, but though all smiled, no one seemed moyed to relieve matters by offering a second seat. Both old persons were pretty well warmed up this time. First one sniffed and then the other, as old ladies sometimes will when sorely tried. The vacant seat was still before them. Finally an overture ot peace came from the owner ot the seat, the last speaker. "I don't want to be disagreea ble, madam, and if I'm older that you I'll sit down Let's tell our ages, and the older yield." The aggrieved woman did not relish this much, but pressure ol an audience forbade a retreat. "Well, madam," she replied, forcing the semblance of a smile. "I shall be most happy. Will you announce your age? Then 1 shall take great pleasure in telling mine." "I was born in march 1817. And vou?" "What, March, 1817? Good heavens! So was I. And what day did you arrive pray ? The 7th. And you?" There were bright red spots on the cheeks ot both old ladies now. "1 have nothing more to say," was the reply. "My birthday is on the Gth. I am much obliged for the seat." And with admirable dignity she sat down amid considerable laughter. New York Sun. ENTIRELY REVOLUTIONIZED. Sax FeaxcIsco, Dec. 15 An Alas- i -. - j ian exploring expemuon passeu through here five months ago en route to the northwestern territory. The party included E.

Nothing was heard of Weils or the others of the p.rty un til Satuaday, when a priyate letter from Jaueau was received bete, which stated that the members of tbe exploring party lad serious trou ble in their camp. The explorers quarreled aud divided into three parties; Glave started for New York in disgust. Wells and a band of natives pushed on the interior, At last accounts they were snowed in for the winter with but forty rounds of flour in their camp. Oth- ers of the expedition took another route, striking overland for southern Alaska. THE CATAWEA FALLS.

In the evening the landlord asked rne if I had heard the news f torn Wis cousin. I asked him what news, and he began talking about the election. I stopped him ehort by telling him that I had been kept awake nights by brass bands and hurrahs until 1 was nervous. "Everything is Democratic," he said, "even the dogs. Ever see a Democratic dog ?" I said no. Then he went out to the back yard and brought a yellow mastiff about as big as a six-months calf. 'Hurrah for George Peck !" said the man to the mastiff, and the dog jumped up and down as if he had struck a hornets' nest, and was quite demonstrative. "Was it the little red school house?" asked the master. Ihe mastiff whined, by which I was in formed that the dog was friendly to the said school house. "Was it McKinley," asked the master. And the mastiff rolled over on his back and stuck up his feet. By this demonstration I was inform ed that the dog meant to convey the idea that McKinley is a dead duck. Now, what else can you expect but & Democratic avalanche in a State where even the dogs are io it ? Just three miles up to the Swan- noah Pass Air Line, from Ol 1 Fort, is the Catawba Fails.

The spectacleof this celebrated chieftain and warrior turning an honest dollar aud a half by the pursuit of literature with the aid ot a stylographic pen, was watch ed with interest by a crowd of observers and purchasers. Among the group were Ulysses S. Grant, Philip II Sherdan, Carl Schurz, Wm. Maxwell Evarts, a dozen Senators aad Congressmen ot the United States, half a dozen British noblemen, twice as many Berlin bankers and German pro fessors, and a miscellaneous gathering of railway Presidents, financiers. Journalists, and sen sation hunters from two conti nents. It was as if the world had assembled to witness the final act of the American red man's submission to all-conquering civilization. The British aristoc racy and the spectacled German prolessors bought Sitting Bull's signiture with avidity, aud the saturnine captive in the cart pocketed the cash with placidity. Sitting Bull had been brought from Standing Rock agency to decorate the progress of Mr. Henry Yilliard across the conti nent over the completed North ern Pacific Railroad. That morn ing the cruel and crafty Sioux had taken his first ride behind a locomotive. That day, for the first time in his life, he saw a white settlement big enough to be called a city. Having behind the supposed subjugation of the stubbornest spirit that the red race has produced for half a cen tury, the procession moved on toward the remoter West, leav ing Sitting Bull, or Tatanka Yotanke, safe and harmless with in the lines. The civilizing wave had swept over him and subdued him. The hero who is publicly seen peddling his own former greatness to anbody with a dol lar ami a half to invest in that commodity, is no longer much of a mystery or a terror. Such was the aspect of Sitting Bull in 1883. Since then he has given the United States Govern ment no end of trouble, and day before yesterday he died as he had lived, the armed enemy of the race he hated. There are two ways of looking at this remarkable savage. He was a pest or a patriot accord ing to the point of view. A treacherous, murderous, merci less outlaw, au enemy of progress and civilization, Sitting Bull was one of those Indians who are good Indians only when they are dead Indians. Wily as a diplo matist, fierce as a berserker, patient and implacable as Han nibal, a born leader of men, he was the last great champion of er in the State.
