\Vulkiug up the low stoop the reporter rang the bell and while waiting had ample time to notice that the house was unusually quiet in that noisy neighborhood and that every blind was drawn and every shutter closed. Just as he was makjug up his‘mind that the house was deserted: anointeme “girl, with sleeves and ékitts‘n' tuckethupi- opened the door cautiously. “ Oh, I saw it in the papers," replied the report-er ; “ I have called In answer to your advertisement to see about adopting a baby." “ Which advertisement ?"

Farmers often complain that theirpss- tures are “ running out.” ' It is not strange that sucli‘is the case since they do nothing to keep up their fertility or to restore grasses and other forage crops that have been wholly orr‘psrtially exterminatth by close feeding, baud seasons, or other causes. Some kinds of grasses and stileaet one'kind of clever remain in a. pasture buta. few years. .They are only propagated by seed, which of eonrsedoes not mature on plants that are bitten off when they are a. few inches high. Timothy grime and red .clover affotd_ excellent pestumge, but they can .only be retained on land constantly grazed by animals by occa- sionally sowing seed. The productive- ‘ness of pastures could be greatly in- creased at small expense by taking pains to sow the Seed of grassesfs'nd clovers on those portions of them that are not 'well covered with end. The seed can be sown in .the fall or early in the spring, and scratched in with a light lisrrow or iron- foothed rake. If the grass has chiefly dismpprsred on certain spots Where the ‘ soil is very poor, it will be well to barrow the ground thoroughly and to apply some fertilizers. 'The sci-spling of burn yards, well-rotted stable msnure end ashes can be applied to good advantage. Some grass- seed suitable for sowing in pastures where cleanliness is not vcry essential can ordi- narily be obtained from the msngers where, - horses are fed orfrom barn floors. It is always desirable to keep as large a variety of forage crops in a pasture as possible. They insure a greater amount of food and secure a desirable change, which is agrees.- ble to all kinds of stock. Notes for Fnrnlel'll. - 7 , Sheep require pure water.

RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1883. wawlu ANew York. telegram says: In 1869 William Tilden, a relative of Samuel J. Tilden, died, leaving an estate valued at $2,500,000 He distributed it equally among his four sons, William, Miland 0., Marmaduke and Beverle B., aged 20. 15, 12 and 9. Josia M. Fisk, William J. Blodgett, David Dows, Chas. Tracey, and N. C. Ely were appointed executors. In 1870 the executors employed an Italian named Blaggi as tutor and, manager for the boys, and sent them to Europe. In Paris they occupied the rooms formerly occupied by the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family of. England. They then proceeded to Berlin, and lived in sumptuous style, expending in sixteen months about $70,000. The eldest of the four purchased a palace in Coburg for $40,000, and with it the title of baron. While in his palace he became much interested in the wife of the former owner, and soon was under the complete control 'of her husband, to whom he gave power of attorney, and whom he permitted to purchase all the furniture for his palace. In 1872 the executors dis- covered the‘condition of affairs abroad, and. by the payment of a large sum of money the young man: was extricated from his difficulties. The four then‘conoeived the 'idea of a ball in honor of Americans in Germany, hired an immense beer-hall and gave a ball which was Widely commented on. When they returned home the execu- tors footed up their expenses for two years andfour months as $185,000; They were then sent to Harvard College. but did not remain there. William was made executor of the estate, and in 1877 an expartner l in the business formerly carried on by his father. This he was compelled to give up, owing to his inability to manage it. , Many aceountings were had, for which large counsel fees ,were paid. In 1877 Gustavus G. J. Thebaud was appointed guardian for Beverley B. Tilden. He received $1,250, and afterwards, it is alleged, was lacked up in Ludlow Street Jail for eleven months for misappropriating $15,000 belonging to another estate, for which he was attorney. From the accounting now in progress before the referee it appears that the two elder sons had been paid $175,000 more than their share. It is also charged that the mortgage for $160,000 on the Jersey City property, with interest, was collected by the execu- tors, and that one of them deposited the money to his private account. The estate is in a bad condition, and will now yield but $100,000 to each of theryounger sons. The executors are charged with procuring ratifications of their acts by threats. Beverly B. Tilden now seeks to have the various accountings opened on the ground that the" Expenditures were foolish and rash, unnecessary, and contrary to his father’s will. He also, claims that the executors should W ‘WTEB‘EEE ~fin- necessary expenditures. The executors made a general denial, and declare that they have accounted for every cent they spent, and that the boys, when they came of age, ratified their acts. The Remarkable Experiences 0! u Farmer’s \Vfle. A New York despatch says: A special from Monticello, N. Y., says a curious instance of faith cure here is exciting much comment. Mrs. Floyd E. Lindsley, a farmer’s wife, was eleven years ago ill with some trifling complaint. The doctors, she says, mistreated her case, and she was left with a serious constitutional disease. Since 1879 she has been confined to her bed constantly and has been a great suf- ferer. Several doctors from New York city madea study of her case and tried every method and medicine without success, and they at last told her that nothing more could be done. For the past year she has been growing rapidly worse. Her nerves were in such a state that every noise was agony to her. gearing of a faith cure recently perior d-m Massachusetts, her thoughts were Existantly recurring to that subject, and she finally determined to test its efficacy. She asked the Rev. Messrs. Carley, Davis and Mackey,clergymen in the village, to pray for her recovery on a certain night. A request was also sent to the Fulton street prayer meeting for prayers at the same time. " God gave me faith,"- she said to day, “to believe He would heal, because He has promised to; and on the evening appointed for the prayers, I unmistakably felt the thrill of His healing touch." As the family had retired, Mrs. Lindsley did not; awaken them to tell the good news. Next morning, when her husband came in to breakfast, he found ,his wife sitting at the breakfast; table. She had dressed her- self, something she had not done before in years, and was around the house as livelv as though she had not been ill. Since that day she has, to all appearances, been per- fectly well. If‘the grade of a. drain is doubledper 100 feet: the carrying capacity 18 increased one- third. Some Hints That “'lll be Usetnl. There are a. few general principles that ough§_to_be borne ‘in 191116. in draining. A ditch will drain directly 50 feefi each way ; and when the slope is three feet or more in a. hundred feet it: .will indirectly drain one-third of the land beyond this 50 feet. For drains not more than 500 feet long a. 2-inch tile will drain _five acres. Lines mere than 500 leet long should not be laid with 2 inch tile. A 3‘inch tile will drain five acres, and should n91: be of greater length than 1,000 feet. A four-inch tile will drain 12 acres. A five-inch, 20 acres. A six-inch, 40 acres. A seven~inch, 60 acres. Of course these are the mains, and are supposed to be three feet in depth and on a. grade of three inches to the hundred feet, which may be taken as 8111 sveragei To further assist in calculating drains it may be stated that in 24 hours, that one and a. half inches of waterfalls in 24 hbura. and that on an acre 40,731 gallons will fall in this time, and one-half of this amount 15 used by plants and carried ofi by evapora- tion ; so that 20,365 gallons of unnecessary water per acre would be required to pass through at least; a. part of the main drain A Brooklyn girl recovered a. verdict for $1,000 against John and Line.

I‘URED BY FAITH. Mt. McCarthy admitted that the con- nection was afforded by the Nipissing Railâ€" way, but it was not so direct as that by the Northern. Proceeding, he said that as the Dominion Government by a subsidy of $12,000 a mile to the Canada Central had afforded connection between the Canada Pacific and Montreal, people of the West had a right to ask, and did ask, that the same should be done for Toronto, and in his opinion the best way to do it would be to allow the proposal to be carried out, of having this road under the control of the Northern with a guarantee of equal traffic rights guaranteed to other roads. He doubted very much that the arrangement proposed could‘ be effected with the 'Ontario Government. That Government had first offered a subsidy to the road to connect with the Canada Pacific Railway, but sub sequently in order to spite the. Dominion Government and to play into the hands of Mr.‘ Blake it had changed it so as to run the road to Sault Ste. Marie. bined effort on this matter. If each sub- sidy was $6,000 a. mile, that would make nearly enough to build the line. and it was necessary to spend two or three thousand a mile more than could be raised by borrow- ing money on bonds to be made a. first charge on the road. A joint commission could be appointed to operate the road so that both the Northern' and Midland sys- tems could send tmflic over it on perfectly equal terms. Mr. Cameron, of Victoria, ~ was of the. opinion that we had not yet arrived at the utopian days when the Provincial and Dominion Governments could agree upon such a. scheme as was proposed by Mr. Blake. He (Mr. Cameron) had never heard‘of 84 neutral link such as Mr. Blake spoke of, and he held it to be utterly impossible. one round or other must have control. At_ the same time there was no reason why all roads should not have equal rights with regard to this road. This was proposed to be done in case of a. lease of this link to the Northern. The com- peny was prepared to have any clause, however stringent, imposed upon them to make the independence of the road perfectly certain. The House then rose for recess, and on resuming in the evening took up the con- ‘ sideration of private bills. The first item was the Northern Railway Bill. The House went into committee on the bill and reported it with minor amendments. On motion - in the House for concurrence with these amendments, Mr. Blake called attention to the proposal made that this road should be e'xtendedto join the C. P. R. at Callander by absorption of that part of the Northern, Northwestern & .Sault Ste. Marie which had been bonusedv to the ‘ amount of $6,000 a mile. He held that a. point betweenCallander and Nipissing was the proper place at which the Ontario system should join tho main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He objected, however, to any Ontario line having control at the road forming a link be- tween the systems, but he thought that link should be kept entirely independent. The Ontarlo Govern- ment' having offered a subsidy to one line, and the Dominion Government. having ofi‘ered a subsidy to another line over the same territory he could see no reason why some) arrangement should not be made WIFE-:thfirwn» FMt. McCarthy said that the tendency of the Midland system was to dmw the traffic to Montreal. Mt. Blakeâ€"Doesn’t it furnish conncgblon with Toronto ? Mr. Blake said that on that question be supposed each Gove‘ment took a. position most in the interest of the people it repre- sented, but he could see no reasons why divisions on that matter should keep the Governments apart on a subject which had nothing to do with it and on which their (ac-operation would promote general good. He knew perfectly well that what every railway company wanted was monopoly, and that each company would be sure to foretell all sorts of evil as certain to follow if its rival was allowed to secure even equal terms. If the rights of both could be main- tained with one of the parties in control, as Mr. Cameron seemed to think quite feasi- ble, those rights could be much better secured by having a perfectly independent authority in_ oontrol. ' Mr. Dundee favored Mr. Blake‘a' idea, and expressed a. hope that the Government would take the matter mto its very serious consideration. The amendments -were approved, and the bill read the third time and passed. ~ On items relating to the Intercolonial Railway, Mr. Richey called attention to the report of the Committee on Inter-Provin- cial trade. The evidence before that com- mittee showed that there had been a‘marA venous iuoreeee in that trade, yet owing to cheaper means of communication being oflered throughout the Uni-ted States than through‘ our own country, a considerable share of traffic was diverted. Everything pointed in the direction of greater facilities of communication by water way between Sir John Maedonald recognized the diffi- culty, and said during the summer he would send an inspector to investigate t-he matter. ‘ ‘ ~ 0n item of the Indians of Quebec, 154,200, Mr; Scriver called attention to the unpleaâ€" sant state of. affairs threatened in his own county.,_ Some 99-year leases of lands belonging to Indians were about to expire, and no provision had been made for renew- ing them. The Indians would clalrn the lands, and it was feared tlze farmers would resist their obtaining possession. As the Indians could not make proper use of the lands there would be no injustice in giving, them an equivalent, so as to keep the pre- sent ocoupants undisturbed. These 99 years lenses under which the lands were held by farmers had always been regarded as practically freeholds, so downright injus- tice would be done by giving their home- steeds over to the Indians. The House 'went intb‘ Committee of Sup- ply. Oii the item, “ Geological Surveyâ€" 360,000," Sir John Maedonald' explained that this increase was owing to the rapidly proceeding development of the Northwest. He laid on thetable a map showing where the work was to be done. There were several districts : First, the Rocky Mounâ€" tains, Saskatchewan, Rainy River and the district of Gaspe, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Sootia. This vote does not cover the amount of the salaries of the staff, which was included in a similar amount last year. In the House of Commons Sir Charles Tupper introduced his biil ' amend the Consolidated Railway Act,which he explained eonmined little more than certain changes which had been mentioned in the Railway Committee. and which seemed to meet with general appro- val of members. .

On the motion to go into Committee of Supply on the Supplementary Estinmtes, Mr. Charlton called attention to a state- ment recently made by the Prime Minister that assistance would be given to the expedition to explore the territory east of Hudson Bay, and asked for particulnrs as to the nature and estimated coat of the expedition and when it would start. ‘ Mr. MoCmney said that while the mil- Wayy had done much to decrease rates of freight to the east, yet more could be done it full and healthy competition was main- tained between the railways and vessels. One great drawback to shipping interests (which, notwithstanding what Sir Leonard Tilley had said in his Budget Speech, was not in an overâ€"flourishing condition,) was the heavy charges at the port of Montreal, and he hoped the Government would take it into their serious consideration.

Mr. McMullen asked for the information promised by the Minister of Railways as to the mte per ton per mile for freight: cm:- ried'on the Intercolonial. Sir Leonard Tilley replied that a. petition had‘been received by the Government based on the report of the Commlttee on Inter- Provincial Trade in favor of a, line of pro- pellers between the upper lakes and Levis, and the matter was under the consideration of the Government. the Upper Provinces and the Intel-colonial terminus at Levis.
