THE OLD-TIME ' STATESMEN. Hamlilton Fish and John Bigelow as Seen in Their Retire t New York World: There are two re- tired statesmen of the old school yet Tiving in this city,who are rarcly before the peo .|<~ nowadiys, but who are ne- casionally 1g be met within the society of fl)rl\lnt- uml fashion, [ refer to Ham- ilton Fish, who is a republican, and John Bigelow, who is a democrat. You may see Mr. Fish on Sunds St. Mark's Episcopal church. of which he 38 ono of the pillars, and you may hap- seo Mr. Bigelow at the I M. '8 Swedenborginn church the etrines of which he is a bel . Both of these ancient statesmen wealthy, both have heirs with politi proclivities, and both are enviched with two generations of posterity. Both of them, in addition to the ity eatab- lishments, have estates on the Hudson— Mr. Bigelow’s heing adjacent to West Point, and Mr. Fish’s just opposite to it on the other sido of the river. Hamilton Fish, who is now an narian,was governor of the sta York for rs ago. and w 4 mem- ber of congress eight years before that time. His last public se vice wis ns a member of President ( which he held the offi state for both of Grant’s terms, mnl assuch negotiated the treaty of Washington. In looking at the v able Mr, I sh, who appears hale as he takes un aiving on Second avenue, near his residenc in Seventeenth street, one’s memories are carried back to the early time of our republic, in the ablishment of which his father v ndeved distin- guished services as a colonel in the revolutionary army under George Washington. Mr.Fish is yet full of the reminiscence of those days which clus- tered round his father’s fivesido, and they seem as fresh to him as when he heard them in the little city of New York in the carly year of thé century. The rged statesman suffercd a heavy shock a few months ago in the death of his wife, an ovent which occurred after the celebration of their golden wedding in the company of twenty-three of their children and grandchildren. Hoe is a mellow cld gentleman, full of dignity and not destitute of geniality. John Bigelow is a septuagenarian, having pussed the three-scorc-and-ten milestone a few days ago. But he yot very fresh in and it is not hard to induce him to take his alpenstock and join in climbing the mountain ridges that rise over his estato on the Hudson. It is between forty and fifty years sinco he first held office under the state government. H most important public service was ren- dered as ministec to France, about the period of the closo of the war, though after that time, whon his friend, Samuel J. Tilden, was governor of New York, he held the place of sec- retary of state at Albany. Mr. Bigelow isaman of great ability. I many years of his life in journalism, and his name is to be found on the title page of half a dozen books, not the least valuabl is the “Life of Benjamin K n three volumes. His four daughters are as famous for the and accom- plishments as his wife was in other days. It is pleasant in the hurly-burly of the city to meet two such dignified statesmen of olden times as John Bige- low and Hamilton Fish, e are octoge- of New Salt Rheum. ‘With its intense itching, dry, hot skin, often broken into painful cracks, and the listlo watery pimples, often causes indescribable suffering.

Discovered to Be Well-to-Do, Intelli- gent Me b New York Commercial Advertise: The forty-two male and female S £ ‘who w detained at Castle garden from the time of their arvival on the swmnshiq Leoville, ten days ago, unti ed on New Year's eve by Collector Magone’s order, constitute one of tne lavgest importations of this peculiar class of people that has yot come to this country, Among them are included several familses, and about half the whole number are women and children. It seemed from their inability to spoak o word of English, and the diffi- culty of cenversing in Jheir peculiar di- ulect by any of the Castle Garden Inter- pretors, their social status was at first misundorstood. When, for instance, they were asked on their arrival if they had any money, the majority of them indicated a noguu\' as they were under the impression that the question was impudent. As a matter of fact, they seem to have possessed consid- erable amounts in gold coin concealed on their person; After they had been detained a day or two, N. J. Arbeely, of this city, who was for some time Amori- can consul at Jerusalem, and is familiar + With the habits and language of the im- migrants, investigated their case it was largely through his exertions that their release was secured, after Messrs. Funch, Edye & Co., the agents of the Chateau Leoville, had given a bond that they would transport the Syr- ians home again, without charge, any time within a year, if they proved un- ablo to get along here. From Mr. Arbeely some information concerning these peculiar people was obtained. He said that the men are all artisans or mechanies, fully able to sup- port themselves at work for which there innr R hey include carpenters, blacksmiths, shoemakers, quarrymen and stonecutters chiefly, One of them was sent for by his brother, who lives in Toledo, O., but was taken sick here while awaiting his brother's arvival, and is still in a hospital. Ho said that if he should die he would bequeath to his brother $5,000. Some of the women are quite attractive in appearance, pos- sessing to some extent the Spanish or Italian lines of beauty instead of the rather swarthy Moorish char- acteristics seen in some of the men. Several of the children are of fair complexion with almost golden hair. They ecame from the slopes of Mount Lebanon, just to the north of Palestine. They are neithor Jows or Mohamamedans. A fow of them are converts from the Mohammedan faith, and for that reason are the more anxious not tobe sent home again. They are all now, however, members of a sect locally known as the Maronites, and profess allegiance to the enurch of tome. They avow their intention of becoming American citizens and the fact of their bringing their families is evidence of that intention. Knowi very little about our untry they did not'decide on any possitive destination here before coming. There are two or three farmers among the party. Buchanan's Sweetheart. v 1., Special to th . YTouis Republican: Mrs. Letitia Bove died last night at her residence in Bugar-Loaf Valley, Florence township, aged ninety-nine years. Deceased, whose maiden nume” was Duncan, did Ot M until she was eighty-four 3 ars old, and her husband, a worthless, i ulpulufl fellow, much younger v.nm‘ she, got all hnr‘!vrnporlv in his posse: sion and deserted her shortly after their union. For a number of years Mrs. Bove, her gister, Mrs. June Allen, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Stewart, 1 tosether with no male pr tector. Mre. Allen, who was th widow of a soldier of the war of 1812, died last year, aged eight and the 1wo survivors kept up the domestic es- tablishment, assisted somewhat by the neighbors, Mrs. Allen told a number of acquaintances, and her stat ments were confirmed by Mrs. Bov thay the Iatter, who was once noted for her beauty, was betrothed in her youth to o young man living near her Penn- sylvania home, who her parents forbid Ler to marry, they favoring another suitor, who was James Buchanan, after- wards president of the United States, Not being able to get the consent of parents to marry the man of her choi she concluded to lead a single . and il was not until she had nes eached id childhood that i d into the unfortunate marriage 3 sttled in this section with about thirty-five unll +d. ye ay l(‘~||4'A ted by herneighbors. The state- ment by her sister that Mrs. Bove was the betrothed of Mr. Buchanan was not for notoriety, and it is i ed that he muined a bachelor because of his affec- tion for her, —_—— NOT INSANE NOR GUILTY. A Sane Couple Confined in an Asylum ‘or Thirteen Ycars. whua, N, IT. special to the New k World: The commission ap- pointed by Governor Sawyer to investi- gate the mental condition of Richard Woodham and Hannah K. Woodham, his wife, who have been confined in the asylum for the insane at Concord thir- teen yYears this month, has decided that they should be released, The citizens of Nashua, where they lived, have long hield the opinion that they never were insane, and it is a disgrace to the state that they should have been confined in an insane asylvm thirteen years for deeds committed by others, one of whom is now serving a long sentence in the state prison at Concord tor these crimes, and another of whom committed suicide in jail from remorse. Yet Woodman and his w ve during that time been risoners in a lunatic asvium, gradually osing all fitness to grapple with the world, until the state, having voted to appropriate $1,000 to investigate their mental condition. The commissioners ordered their release, and in a few days Richard Woodman, now a white- haired man of sixty, and his wife Huan- nah, five years younger, with slow step and dimmer eyes, will come forth free. The story of how they got there is an inter .nng one. It brings back the old days of the “‘Reign of Terror” here, which aroused the citizens as much as the incendiary fires of the past fall have torrorized the property owners. Mr. Woodham and his wife and daughter at that time resided on Tyler street ina little white cottage ~which he had bought and partly paid for. Mr. Wood- ham was an Englishman, an expert gas- fitter and piper, working for g;mul wages for S. S. Jackman. During the war he worked at the Charlestown navy yard, o, on wages of 8 per day, he had a neat little sum. He was a quiet, law abiding citizen, and if his wife was rather inclined to digpute with her neighbors, no one imagined her out of her head. The beginning of the trouble came about through the mortgage on the Tyler street_property. A payment which was past due and which had not been endorsed as paid on the mortgage Mrs. Woodham declared she had made. The holder denied it. Mrs. Woodham stuck to it and would neither move nor pay. Then City Marshal Murdough, in his capacity ~as deputy sheriff, evicted the Woodhams from the house. They refused to remove their furniture and the oftice piled it into the street. The pol afterwards took the goods to the city hall where they were stored on the bare ground in the basement until W. O. Clough, of the Telegr: Xh. was city mar- shal, when, as they had grown mouldy and worthless, he had them inventoried and destre \'ud. The Woodhams ap- peared before Police Justice Colonel . >, Emerson, but would not pay, perist- ing that the money had been paid and rot put down on the mortgage and the matter was temporarily dropped. A little later the barn of Mr. son on the Lowell road, was the groand. His monument in the Hollis str tery was badly broken t\nd«u\uu'd with tar'a short time afterwards. Then the barn of Captain . P. Banks, at that time city marshal, was burned down, and E. P. Clough’s residence would have suffered the same fate had not the fire been stopped by a brick partition. AlL had evidently been set by the sume on, and in a tumult of excitement the Woodhams were chhrged with the crime and arvested. They had often expressed spite against them all for being evicted from their own house. On the purely circumstantial evidence that they were known to be enemies to the ones whose property was destroyed, they were tried. On the 20th of January, 1875, the last papers were made out and they were confined in the asylum for the insane at Concord on charges which had not been clearly proved, and of which they were not guitty, as was long since shown, There they have been ever since, and whould have been until they died had it not been for the efforts in their behalf by Captain H. B. Atherton, of this city, author of the famed Atherton railroad bill before the state legislature last summer. Ho introduced the bill in_the house of representatives to have them set froe at once. It passed the house, but the senate tacked on an amendment to investigate. A commission was ap- pointed, the investigation is finished and the Woodhams will be set fr e Cure for Rheumatism. G. G.

The Irish-American Farmer. New York Post: It is odd to think that the descendants of the Yankees should be taught a lesson in thrift by class of immigrants whom they ha been wont to despise, but the truth is that these Irish new-comers are taking and making a good living out of farms which have been abandoned by Ame: cans because they said they were sta ing to death on them. The tronble in 1 cages is not so much with the farms as with the farmers. The West Randolph editor says that these Irish- Americans live as well as their neigh- bors, and often better, and the reason they do it is because “they attend to their work, do not ‘farm it in the village, around the street corners, and in the groceries do not wear half the income of their farms on their backs, nov keep top car- ringes and high-priced horses; but go in for clothing that will wear and teams that will woek, if not trot, express wagons that can be used for other pu poses than simple pleasure carringes— in fact, for things that are practicaland suited to their business,” This agrees with the view of a western Massachu- setts observer, who tells us that the h farmers in the hill towus of that ve making farming pay in the same way—by hard work and by saving, In these small towns the parochi school issue is of course never raised, the Tvish-American children attend the public schools, and the second genera- tion asa rule is anxious to drop the Irish prefix and to be known only as Americans, Farmers Who Keep Shex The percentage of farmers who keep flocks of shecp. s compiled by the Farmers' Review, is given in the lollow- ing. Many of the reports doubtle refer to farmers who merely keep a fou course sheep as brush-trimmers or for an oceasional carcass for mutton: [Minois—101 counties, 15§ per cent of tho farmers keep sheep.

Dakota—In twenty counties 7 3-5 of the farmers keep sheep. The per cent in Triall county is placed at 40, and in all the others it is small. ‘Warm Drink and Cut Food. Kentucky Stock Farm: The Saxons have a proverb, *“The softer the food the more the mik.” Warm drinks tend to produde milk. The same amount of grain, fed ina warm, thin gruel, will produce more milk and butter of a richer quality than when used dry, and some advocate the steaming of hay and other food. Cutting food for horses and cattle is recommended by all who have tried it as giving an economical control over the supply. security against waste and the facility of mixing different kindsof food in such proportions as may be found b Corn-stalks well cured are thus made worth asmuch as the best hay, and one or two quarts of meal will make 4 bushel of cut straw equal to hay. Roots in this case are nccessary as an appetizer and to prevent |'un~m|. ion, and may take the place of grain. The Creamery System. Pennsylvania Dairyman: The cream gathering system with the regulating oil test of the cream is perhaps the near- est practicable approach to peefection, because each patron can test his pro- ducet, for himsalf and eheck the cream- ery account; and he is paid for the bet- ter quality of his cream and the extra feeding and chavacter of his cows. Moreover, move onerous laboris re- moved from the usually everworked farm wife Hence the creamery is a great velief to her, and although a few cents a pound be lost in value the loss is made up in the benefits received. er Milkers the Best. Jason Jon n Stockman: Major Al- vord, of Amherst, Mass., has for sc eral y kept an accurate record of the milk of summer milkers and those of winter, the latter kept under favorable conditions,and has found that winter milkers, as a rule, give about one thousand pounds more milk in a season than spring milkers. As winter wmilk is always better than the summer quality, this 1,000 pounds of milk should be worth at least %12 more than the mmer yield. With a dairy of twenty- five cows, this would be 300, enough for a man and his wife to goin August to the White mountains on a tour. Sports." In breeding fowls appears a specimen pure white in color, which is properly designated an “albino,” but which 1n the current lxm"luwv of poultry write led a “sport.” There also occs ly appears a specime and that is perhaps more common in pigeons than in other birds, although it does happen with fowls—pure black in color, al- though its progenitors, so far us known, have never been bladk. Such a specis men is sometimes also called a “sport, although its proper designation is a *melanoid,” for the ( ¢ word signi- , from which we weholy or elack-bile. Poultry Worl there oceasionally ive our About Hog Troughs. Most of the hog lots that have come under my observation have the water- ing troughs either standing out in the lot, necessitating the feeder to climb the fence and fight the hogs away from the trough to allow him to water orslop them, or have mu' end stuck under the fence in. which w pour the wa uanu‘ says a correspondent of the Farm- ers’ Review.

Be- tween posts, over trough, I nail fence boards, same as on fence, setting bottom board high vmmgh to allow plenty of room for slop to enter trough, and in place of middle post nail on two cleats to stiffen the boards, This makes more trough room for the same number of hogs, but I think pays well for the extra expense of lumber by saving of time cleaning the trough and the distributing of the fecd s0 all can share alike.

Yeomans in Mirror and Farm: Tt is an old and fully acknowlodged so ing that*no feet, no hovse,” or as it might be stated in other language, no matter how perfect or sound a horse may be in othar respects, if ho is defe ive or unsound in the fect he is practi- cully valueless. In this connection there is another matter to be considered, and that is. that feet that are sound upon a horse ¢ be rendered unsound not by the carelessness and negleet of the owner or keeper wholly, but by improper and defective shoeing. If the truth could be arrived at in the matter there is lit- tle doubt that u lurge proportion of those who attend to the shoeing of horses really do not know ve much about the actual bony structure of the foot, or to such adegree as to be able to remedy existing or threatening to it. It is ravely the case that a country smith upon whom de- pendence is placed understands any- thing about the anatomy of the horse's foot. Because of this lack of knowledge the shoeing may be so done as to create lameness, and from continuance of the cause disease of the foot may be pro- duced and ultimately the horse be ru- ined. But if the foot is fully understood, for a trivial lamenoss the shoe, by being properly set, may relieve it and finally cure the trouble. We have frequently heard it claimed that faulty action in the horse could be extent eorrected, but we 17(!(\ the same to Lhu extent reading that valuable by Prof. George E. Rich entitled “Artistic Horse Shoeing.” The author began to shoe horses when el old and, having beeti'in_constant prac- ce then, has’formed more than fifteen dlfiuront kinds of shoes, all for a specific purpose, adapted to different conditions of the foot, curing some dis- cases or correcting some faults of the gait. He succeeds in accomplishing, in treating horses injured by bad shoe- ing, what ordinary bhckxlmum regard as wonders. For the good of these pa- tient and faithful animals shoers should instruct themselves in the matter of sotting shoes scientifically as well as ar- tistically, so that the noble horse may not be injured or ruined. Device for Warming Drinking Water. A correspondent of the Farmer’s Re- view, who uses a cheap method of warm- ing the drinking water for stock, sa; “It supplies the maximum amount of heat to be obtained from the minimum amount of fuel. It requires no engincer- ing to run it, and involves but very lit- tle risk from fire. In fact, it is simply a water tank, 12 feot in diameter,placed just outside the staging of the wind- mill, which (the staging) is boarded up about twelve feet. An opening thirteen inches in diameter is made through the side of the tank into the wind-mill house, and through this opening a cyl- inder 10 feet long by 12 inches indiam- eter, made of No, 20 galvanized iron, is placed in the tank, one or two inches from the bottom. From the further end of the cylinder a smoke-pipe runs through the cover of the tank, high enough to give sufficient draught to the fire. The cylinder has a flange two inches wide at openings, thus secur- ing a space for water of one inch be tween the iron and the woodwork of th tank. Tho only precaution necessary in an apparatus of this kind is to be sure that the cylinder is always surrounded by water when the fire is lighted or burn- ing, otherwise a light cylinder of this kind would burn out in a very short time. In a heated of this kind one cord of wood will be sufficient to heat the water for thirty or forty head of cattle all winter. It is not desirable to main- tain the heat in the tank all the time, the effect of that would be to render the water unfit for use in a_very short time. I hopeno farmer who tries the experiment of heating water for his cat- tle will attempt this through a mistaken notion of economy. In the coldest weather we have never found it neces sary to keep the fire burning longer than from two to four hours out of the twenty-four to supply forty head of cat- tle with all the water they could drink at a temperature of from 60 to 70 de- grees. We used a temperature of from 60 to 70 degre: but am fully im- pressed with the ideathat under certain circumstances the best results in dair, ing will be obtained withamuch higher temperature, say 80 to 90 degrees. Scasonable Hints and Suggestions, There is really no competition be- tween oleomargarind gnd first-class but- ter. Itisthe inferior article that is driven out by competition. The farmer who makes good butfer ean regulate his price, as it is al saleable. On cold days the cracks in the stable floor may cause great suffering. The animak cannot be comfortable with cold currents flowing all around them. Both the roof and the: floor of a stable should be made tight. If animals be debilitated, and should lose appetite, a warm mess of a mixture of corn meal and braw twice o day will serve to invigorate them. The drink- ing water should also be warmed for them, Always select your horses for uired.” The Is ave the hest for Trotter 3 than recinl heavy draught general farm re intended for for drawing heavy To confine animals that have pasture and green food in summer and fall and feed them during the winter on dry food is not conducive to the best results., If ensils turnips or some succulent food be provided the stock will prove more profitable and keep in bett health than when fed ou dry food clusivel, Every farmer may provide himself with fresh meat the entire year with a § garded as a burden by “There small flpck of good. mutton slisep.

Bright's diseaso and dinbetes in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and gravel, catarrh of the blad- der and enuresis slay many. Yet at the outset, when tho trouble merely amounts to inactivity of the organs in- volved, the danger may be nullified by that pleasant renal tonic and diuvetic, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which im- parts the requisite amount of tone to the organs, without ov viting them, and the use of which is convenient, and involves no claborate Dyspepsia, o usual concomits complaints, and debility, w iuvariably produce, are remedied by it.

A Doctor Talks of the Difficulties En- countered in Practising Medicin New York Su ‘“The fivst five years are the dar i oung doctor s life,” snid a well-known physician. “It does not matter how y he is getting on, he is sure to have built his expocta- tions too high. A medi man always thinks he is doing hetter than he is. Leaving the simon pure charity cases out of the question altogother, I have always thought myself lucky if I col- lected one-half of my anccounts. While a reputable doctor looks upon advertis- ing in a gencral way as something ta- booed, many of us, i doubt not. in our young days have resorted to driving rapidly through various streets in the middle of the day. Inever knew this little scheme to hang fire, and by the time I got to the office I frequently hmud two or three calls on the slate. “An oflicious friend of mine,” con- tinued the doctor, “once advis ed me to settlo in the country, where the compe- tition wasn't so grout.

Anaggravated case of this kind recently came under my notice, A man, whose business often called him from home for months at a time, rushed wildly into my office one day and begged me 10 visit his wife. He said that if I couldn’t get her out of her megrims he would either have to procure a_divorce or commit suicide.
