United fctatee Senator Alfred Holt Colquitt, of Georgia, died at his residence in Wash ington at 7.30 o'clock a few mornings ago. Around the bedside when ho passed away were Senator Gordon and his daughter, Mrs. Jones ; Senator Colquitt's Private Secretary, his nephew, Mr. Bunn ; his son, Mrs. Col quitt, three unmarried daughters and hia married daughter, Mrs. Marshall, of Chica go. As the end approached, the Senator's breathing became very heavy, but he re lapsed into unconsciousness and suffered no pain. The flag over the Senate Chamber was raised to half mast when the Senate con vened and the sombre emblems of mourning were once more conspicuous in the Senate. The desk and chair of the late Senator were draprd in black. The House adjourned out of respect to his memory. Alfred nolt Colquitt, of Atfcinta, was born in Walton County, Georgia, the eon of the Rev. Walter T. Colquitt, an eminent minis ter in his day, April 20, 1824. He was grad uated from Princeton College in the class of 1844 and admitted to the Bar in 1845. Dur ing the Mexican War he served as a staff officer, with the rank of Major. Ho was a member of the Georgia Legislature in 1859 and was elected to the House of Representa tives in the Thirty-third Congress. Ho was a member of the secession convention of the State of Georgia, and later entered the Confederate service and was commissioned as Major-General. He was elected Governor of Georgia in 1876 and was re-elected in 1880. He was elected to the United States Senate for the term commencing March 4, 1883, and was re-elected in 1888. His term of service would have expired March 3, 1895. Senator Colquitt was stricken with paralysis in July, 1892, and since that time had been unableto walk without assistance. Ho has been able, however, to continue a large degree his at tendance on his Senate duties, being wheeled in and out of the Senate chamber in an in valid chair. Senator Colquitt loaves a widow, one son, Walter T. Colquitt, and four daughters, Mrs. Marshall, wife of Captain Marshall, of the United States Army, Misses Laura, llattio and Dorothy Colquitt. The funeral ceremonies of the late Senator were conducted in tho Senate Chamber at t a. m. on tho dny after his death. Tho in vited officials of thogJovernment were in their sonts the members of the Cabinet, tho Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, many members of the Diplomatic Corps, the Speaker and members of tho House of Itepresentatives. The ladies of the family of the dead Senator sat near tho coffin, which was placed on a bier in front of the clerk's desk. The services were conducted by the Senate chaplain, Itev. Mr. Milburn, assisted by tho chaplain ot the House of Representatives, Itev. Mr. Bagby. The body of the late Senator was escorted from the Capitol to the Pennsylvania Station by n squad of Capitol police, followed by the Congressional Committee selected to accom pany the remains to Georgia. The home of Mr. Colquitt was at Atlanta, but ho was buried in Macon. STAY FOR PRENDERGAST. The Murderer of Mayor Harrison Gets Relief From Court. Prendergast, the murderer of Mayor Harri3on, of Chicago, whose execution was fixed for Good Friday has been reprieved. Judge Chetlain, of the Criminal Court, granted a stay of execution in his case until April 6, in order that an examination as to his sanity may be mado. The stay was granted while a jury was be ing empanelled to decide upon his mental condition. Before the stay was granted it was considered a race for a life. If the jury could be empanelled, testimony introduced and a verdict of insanity reached before 11 o'clock on the day of execution, Prendergast nuuiu uo Bnvcu ; ii a veruict tnai no was sane were reached or if the proceedings were still in progress at 11 o'clock, Prendergast would have been hanged. Lieutenant-Governor Gill refused at 10 o'clock to grant a reprieve after Federal juiges had declined to interfere. Meanwhile an insanity trial was demanded, under the statutes, and after much discussion proceed-: ed late in the evening. Finally near mid night a stay was granted as noted. GOVERNOR WAITE WINS. His Appointees to Denver Offices Au thorized to Assume Their Duties. The rebuke of Governor Waite, of Colo rado, by tho Supreme Court was not equalled In severity by the decision of Judge Glynn in the District Court upon tho proceedings for contempt instituted by Police Commissioners Martin and Orr under the writ of injunction issued by Judge Graham against Mayor Van Horn and the new members, MuMins and Barnes. By this decision tho injunction suit is dissolved upon the ground that it was il legally based, and tho contempt suit w;is dis missed. The Court censured Martin an I Orr for arming men and placing dynamite in the City Hall to defend the hall from capture by the Governor after they had applied to the courts for an adjudication of their claims. Judge Glynn asserted that Mullins and Barnes were do facto m l de juro entitled to the office, and that Martin and Orr had no color of title to the ofllees. Tho Governor is upheld at every point. This is a great vic tory for Governor Waite and his party. WILD BEASTS IN ARKANSAS. Driven From Their Lairs by Flood and Killing Stock. High water has driven hundreds of deer, panthers, bears and other game from their swampy haunts in Arkansas to the uplands, and losses of cattle and hogs of farmers to an alarming extent have been the conse quence. In the Saline bottoms, south of Little Rock, the animals devoured not only stock, but several desperate attempts have been made on the lives on people living in the vicinity. Protective organizations have been formed in the bottoms and nightly raids are neces sary. She Was Cute. "Some girls arc too cute for any thing." remarked a i:ost:n drummer with his left arm off at the elbow. ' "As to bow?" inquired the hotel clerk, who was a connoisseur. "In various ways," continued tho drummer, "but in one particular wav, which recently became a part of my experience." "Fi-r instance?" sujuested tho clerk. ( "It happened out in Missouri." said the drummer. I stopped over Sun day in a little town where one of my customers had a rather pretty daughter, and to while the time away I as-ked her to go bggy riding with :re. which she consented to do very readily. As we were sbout to get in, she hesitated a moment. " 'What is it?' I asked. " 'I'll sit on the right side of the buggy,' she sa:d, jumping in. " 'What's that for?' I asked rather quickly, feeling that she thought I could not drive with this one hand of mine. "'Well, if you don't, know what for,' she twittered, -mavle you are not too stupid to learn. Get in hero and move on.' nd I did get in and we moved on." ' ' ' PROMINENT PEOPLE. Guldbtokx says he will remain in Parlia ment. A cast of Kossuth's face was taken and his body embalmed.

New York Tribune. OILING HABXESS. Unbuckle every strap and wash care fully with water, castile soap and sponge or cloth. Allow to dry for five or ten minutes. Then oil, rubbing every part of the harness, except the pntent leather, with a cloth well soaked in neatsfoot oil, or pour out two or three quarts of oil into a pan and draw each piece through it, slowly bending and rubbing the strap. The buckle holes should have a little extra oil, also the bellybands, breeching and the straps that buckle to the bits. To give the leather a new look, add to one pint of oil a large teaspoonful of lamp black and an ounce or two of bees wax. New York Observer. SHARPENING! A CAST IKON FLOW POINT. Many farmers are not aware that when a cast iron plow point has be come very dull, or even thrown aside a worthless, its usefulness can be pro longed, for the plowing of one or two more acres in common soil. Remove the point from the plow, and if there is no stone as large as a man's head, drive an iron wedge partly into a log, or post, or even use an ax, or other piece of iron, the object being to ob tain a solid surface to strike against. Take the point, bottom up in the left hand, resting it upon the stone, or iron near the point, then with a hammer btriko a quick, angling downward blow, just chipping off the point. These blows will not break the iron at right angles, but chip it off, sometimes in pieces the size of a quarter of a dol lar. Extend this chipping process all nlong the cutting surface underneath the mold board. Practice on au old point, as it requires considerable skill to properly strike even such an inani mate thing as a plow point. Chip the points before they are too badly worn. American Agriculturist. FRIENDS OF THE FARMER. It is sometimes difficult for farmers to distinguish friends from enemies among the birds which make their home among us. A late writer in the Albany Cultivator speaks in defence of tho red-tailed hawk, more com monly known as "hen hawk" from its propensity for stealing chickens. The writer says that the chief food of this hawk is mice, snakes, moles and striped gophers or chipmunks, and that it is too slow and clumsy to catch chickens or other fowl. It seems to us that it requires quite as much alert nesc to catch mice or chipmunks as to catch chickens. We have had consider able experience with this depredation in the poultry yard, and losing a chicken each morning until the thief was shot did not look as if the hawk was very clumsy. It is true that sometimes the mother hen will drive away tho hawk, for it is a cowardly thief ; but it will return after a hour or so and seize a chicken that has strayed too far from it3 protector. If tho hen hawk destroys snakes it is so far an enemy of man, as these destroy largo numbers of injurious small bugs, mice and other vermin. GLEANINGS FROM THE COW STABLE. Ring the noso of even the "safe" bull. If your dairy has no pedigree, start one at once. The cow with a ruffled temper will yield poor milk. All straw and no hay will turn a bright heifer into a dull cow. A dirty strainer reflects as badly on the milker as on her who washes it. A good way to choke a valuable cow is to feed her uncut vegetables. Too much carbonaceous food in the dairy will make fat beef faster than butter fat. A cow that begins to lose flssh be fore the winter is gone, will be "spring poor" by the month of May. Do not let the milk get cold before it is carried from the milking stable to tho dairy house to be strained. Give the animals plenty of room in the stable in which to lie down, if you would make them comfortable. Sawdust in the manure heap repre sents so much inert matter ; land plas ter is an absorbent that is also a fertil izer. To feed economically, and yet suffi ciently, give the cows only what they will cat up clean. Trying to stuff them beyond this limit will result in loss and not gain. Do not feed the hay down to the bare boards in the mow over ths stable ; for if you do the ingress of cold air from this source will result in a veri table exposure to your dairy. Think twice before you go into the business of raising veal calves by let ting them suckle their dams. The system will have a demoralizing effect on the dairy, offsetting the temporary gain. American Agriculturist. THE STABLE. Often there is little consideration given to the location and building of the stable. Apparently the thought is that any out of the way place that is most convenient will do well enough as a site for the horse barn. Such is far from true, as the most useful ani mal to man is very susceptible to un hygienic surroundings, and affected very unfavorably by dampness, foul atmosphere and filth in general. The horse is a native of the dry, lofty tablelands of Central Asia. Hence the strongest of reasons why his stable should be situated a little above the surrounding territory on an eminence that will give a drainage slope of at least a foot or two. On no account set a horse barn in a hollow or deep valley. It will be just about impossi ble to keep dry under such circum stances. The 6table should have a high stud, tha lower story being nine or ten feet in height. This will give a good air space for the animals to breathe in. A central shaft or ventilator should run from the ceiling out through the loft, terminating two or three feet above the roof. This will let off hot, fetid air in summer. In winter of course it must be kept closed a large part of the time. This matter of ven ,tiktion is lile thought of by farm ers and the general run of horsemea, yet it is of the highest and most vital Importance. Bad air surcharged with ammonia and other excretions from animal bodies is exceedingly irritating to the eyes of horses and no doubt many cases of blindness are directly traceable to the influence of these de leterious gases. Foul air inhaled into the lungs is highly calculated to in flame and irritate the delicate and tender structures of the windpipe, bronchial tubes and the air cella Hence we would naturally expect, and do find by experience, that horses sub jected to such evil influence are trou bled with coughs, colds, pneumonia and even farcy and glanders ; horses affected with the last two diseases being notoriously badly stabled, poor ly fed, and often abused. However, even if good ventilation be provided, tho foul vapors given off fiom dung and urine, if not attended to, will still render the atmosphere impure. Therefore, the necessity of much bedding and absorbent materials. Dry earth, plaster and charcojl have a re markable propensity for taking in and fixing ammonia. Every stable should keep a supply ever on hand and two or three times a day sprinkle a few handfuls behind each horse. This is not simply a matter of health to the horse, but a means of saving the best of manure for farm crops, a great in ducement in itself. These absorbents, coupled with the use of straw for bed ding, serve in no small degree to keep the stable sweet and clean and whole some. Another feature of the stable is to have it light and cheery. How many dark, sepulchral apartments afford shelter for horses ! Such an environ ment cannot fail to depress the spirits and lessen life and usefulness of an animal that is naturally gay and joy ful. Then the horse is injured by leaving such holes and coming sud denly under the full glare and brill iancy of a summer or winter sun. Here we find another frequent source of eye diseases. Farm, Field and Fireside. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. For fattening fowls cooked food is better than raw. Overstimulation will result in en feebled offspring. Milk in all its forms is most valua ble as food for poultry. See that your breeders are healthy, vigorous and of good size. With the aid of tho dust bath the hens will rid themselves of lice. The Black Minorca lays the largest egg of any of the Spanish family. The choicest capons are the result of a Dorking cock and an Asiatic hen. For health feed oats, for fat corn, and for eggs meat scraps and wheat. Every farmer should make a point of attending the nearest poultry show. It is attention to the little details that makes a success of poultry keeping. Chickens renuire warmth and sun shine and will not bear overcrowding. The average customer wants about an ounce of salt to a pound of butter. Big horns and a fleshy udder are re garded as bad points in a milch cow. No medicine or stimulants are reces sary for healthy birds in good condi tion. The hen that lays we 11 is one that is moving around and scratching all the time. Tho most important matter in rais ing the chicks is to give them warmth enough. This is the season when eggs pay, and every effort should be made to secure them. There is no better fertilizer for the garden than the manure from the poultry house. Do not ring a hog if you can possi bly help it. It interferes with the thrift of the animal. I. B. Terr v savs that a ton of home- 1 made manure is worth about as much as $3 worth of commercial fertilizer. A head of cabbage or turnip tied where the fowls can pick at it gives the fowls a great deal of enjoyable ex ercise. There is not very much difference in the cost of feeding a cow that makes 150 pounds of butter in a year, and one making double as much. The first matter of importance in starting a dairy is to have good cows. No matter how good the care a beef cow will not make a profitable butter cow. The incubator of the present day is perhaps a thing in its infancy, but, to say the very least, it has many points of superiority over the average old hen as a reliable sitter. Crushed oyster shells are excellent for the laying hens. One pound of crushed oyster shells will supply enough lime for about seven dozen eggs. Une nundred grains 01 lime is needed to produce tne snell 01 ono egg. A dairyman estimates that a cow may produce in the year six times her weight of milk, with a calf in addition. If we take the cow as weighing 1000 pounds, wo have, in the salable prod ucts, about 800 pounds of dry matter, containing 36.8 pounds of nitrogen. The Massachusetts Agricultural So ciety has taken effective measures for the destruction of tho gypsy moth. A number of men is appointed and each man is asked to take charge of a dis trict about a mile square. Moth clus ters and nests are collected and burned when found. Condition in a horse does not sim ply mean the presentation of a good ap pearance, but signifies the abitity to endure work and maintain health. Tho latter qualities cannot be possessed without liberal feeding and plenty of exercise. Good condition requires time to produce. The disease of poultry known as "gapes" is caused by a email round worm. Birds often become infected by swallowing earth worms which con tain eggs or embryos of the gape worm. Tho bodies, or at least the entrails of fowls, dying from this disease should be burned, thus preventing its further spread. A writer in the American Bee Jour nal 6ays that a little titryclinine mixed with a couple of eggs, placed in an egg-shell, and put whero skunks mean der around, is tho neatest, quickest and most effectual way to get rid of these "pets" of the farmer and horti culturist. No expense, and. no offen eiye smells. The Gaacho9! Dietary. , The dietary of the South American gancho (cowboy) is simple, bo his cooking is elementary in its charac ter. As a rule, he eats only once in the day, toward sunset; when, jour neys or toil being ended, supper, con sisting of a thin piece of meat, is roasted upon a spit of iron or wood stuck slantingly over a quick fire. If this should be in winter, all sit around on the skeletons of horses heads, and with their long knives or facons (falch ions) cut lumps from the haunch. This, being held in the left hand br one end, is seized with the teeth at the other, and a tempting ti'-bit is skill fully cut off. The hard, dry meat, de ficient in fatty constituents, is washed down by copious draughts of mate, made from the favorite yerba. The hut, dimly lighted by a lamp in which bullock's tallow is burned, bears some resemblance to a stable, from the bridles, saddles, spurs, bola, and lassos which decorate tho roughly daubed walls. If the Gaucho happens to be a family man, fat, black-eyed, good-natured, nearly naked children indulge in antics during the meal, while the poultry wink drowsily from their perches. No wayfarer is turned from the door, for tho hand and heart of the child of the pampas is ever open to the stranger, and tho arrival of such is made a convenient excuse for bringing out the cana, a coarse Bpirit, which has perhaps been provo cative of more evil than anything else which he can call his own. Water melons ao sparingly partaken of in their season, but these are almost the only vegetables the wild horseman cares for. Temple Bar. A Meat-Eating Nation. The recent dinner of the Vegetarian Society in this city has attracted con siderable attention. A gentleman from Germany who has recently made a tour of observation in this couutry, commenting on this vegetarian move ment, said it was just what the United States needed. He added, "Ameri cans eat too much meat. I have ob served that fact wherever I have gone. You have meat for breakfast, for luncheon and dinner. In Germany our breakfast is a cup of coffee nnd a boiled egg or two. Then come our mid-day dinner in courses, a simple supper and a snack before we go to bed." My German friend was com pelled to admit, however, that ho was not as frugal in his diet as ho pre tended to be, for he said that the Ger man people alwtys felt free to take a sandwich and a cup of coffee or a glass of beer between their meals and as a rule managed to cat at least five or six times a day. Englishmen are great .meat eaters. Perhaps we inherit our appetite and our taste from them. 'New York Mail and Express. The Sand-In-Sugar Fiction. Nearly everybody entertains tke opinion that a dishonest merchant will mix sand with his Bugar for the purpose 01 gam. mis is indeed a popular error, for sugar is but rarely adulterated, from the fact that unless scientifically done, and then only with a certain kind of clay, the fraud would come to light without the consumer applying any test. If sand is mixed with sugar it would be discovered by the sugar eater, or the sand would be found as a deposit at the bottom of the coffee cup, or it would betray it self by the grit in the cake.

Some patients bathe either a part or the whole of the body in the warm blood, and tho Italian doctors think with great benefit, in spite of which, it seems a barbaric survival.

K. C. Mel,in, Esq., of Kmpsvillo, Princ.-s Anno Co., Va., whoso j)ortrait heads this article, writes : " When 1 commenced tak ing Lr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery I was very low with a cough and at times spit up much Llood. I was not ablo to do tho leaxt work, but most of the time was in Led. I was all run-down, very weak, my Lead was dizzy and I was extremely despon dent. Tho first bottle I took did not seem to do mo much pod, but I had faith in it and continued using it until I had taken fifteen bottles ami how I do not look nor feel like tho same man I was ono year ago. People aro astonished and say, 'well, hist year this time 1 would not have thought that you would bo living now.' I can thank fully Bay I am entirely cured of a disease which, but for your wonderful 'Discovery would havo resulted in my death." Even when the predisjosition to consump tion is inherited, it may bo cured, as verified by tha following from a most truthful and much resjwted Canadian lady, Mrs. Thomas Vansicklin, of Brighton, Ont. She writes : I have long felt it my duty to acknowledge to you what Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his 'Pleasant Pellets' havo done for me. They almost raised mo from the grave. I had three brothers and ono sister dio of consumption and I was speedily following after them. I had Bevere cough, pain, copious expectoration and other alarming symptoms and my friends all thought I had but a few months to live. At that time I was persuaded to try tho 'Golden Medical Discovery' and tho first bottle acted like magic Of course, I continued on with tho medicino and as a result I gained rapidly in strength.
