A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY. * Sorrow? of I.ovo ?od Triumphs of Fate. FERNEY, MADIHO?^COUNTY, Ky.,Sef ternber 2.-There are few episodes mor ?deasant to recall or more real in the et oynent than tho few weeks' visit at country house, filled with a gay compau. whether it he in winter, with great fire roaring up tho broad chimneys and light and laughter and music within, aud ano* storms and sleigh rides and skating car nivals without, or iu tho last Ungarin] days of -mer to bc in tho midst o pasture lanus and harvest fields, inbalin| the rich, fruity fragrance of ripened or chards, all agleam with their mellor store of lalo peaches and golden ap plea, bending above tho long swathes ol soft orchard grasses boneath. At a linn like this, when tho golden Suramei melts beautifully and imperceptibly int< tho first loveliness of Autumn, it is a boor to he abroad with naturo in her faires! and happiest mood. Tho long delicious days tho exquisite season gives us, so still so heavy with silence tho faintest inseel voico finds a clamorous tongue, and pipet and whirrs through the sultry noon Overhead, great, soft, white masses gc sailing across thc sky like'.cloud ships.' thal have lost both chart and compass, aud arc aimlessly adrift in tho blue upnor sea A deep, golden haze enwraps all thing* as though tho upper atmosphere were filled with gold dust-purplish lights real {.cross tho hills und fiery suiisots burn along the Weat. It in difficult to romero ber that beyond that misty girdle thc brawling world-wives break aud fret and chafe, and the Bun comes up and the sun goes down on a world of men who cari for nothing more than thc Round of their roaring. "No moro, no more, Tho worldly ?boro Tpbralds mo with UH loud uproar ; With dreamful eyes Thy spirit lios Under tho walls of Paradise" Set thus in i*? fair framework is Fer ney. Only a country house, but not many country houses havo family tradi tions BO fraught with romantic interest as this. Surely if thc old skeptic could have looked abroad from his retreat over such a scene, mid let its tender beauty ?teal into his HOUI, he must have shivered his airy brilliancies at a touch, and "fol lowed Naturo up to Nature's Clod." Ferney, in the original was built shortly after the admission of Kentucky into the Union. The moro modern and tho prin cipal portion is a great square brick block with granite corners, (sufficiently Bolid and weather stained to be quito impressive in appearance. Hut tho rear is tho orig inal structure, built seemingly in thonged of "gray antiquity,'' of rough blue stone, nilli wai]:, iii immense thickness, small, deep-Eet windows with innumerable tiny ?anes, and wide, cumbrous chimneys, 'he architectural stylo ia nothing in par ticular ; it was doubtless born of tho times when forethought waa given to tho best means of defence ugainat tho IndlnhB. Innido the ancient m.-onion the walli aro lined half way up with elaborately carved wainscoting, and tho muntlo-sbolvcH tow oi aloft like tho pulpits in ancient churches. Tho foundor of the family waa a Marquis, a real livo one, tho friend and compatriot of Lafayette, who came over to America to lend her his strong right arm in tho revolutionary Btuggle, bringing all his worldly goods with him, which consisted of hi? title and one son. Both father and son boro themselves right gallantly in the revolution, and when tue war was over the old man, finding his title did not amount to a row of pins in thin country, am; having nothing to connect him with the Old World but an accumulation of debts, settled down in primitive Republican simplicity in Virginia. Here his impet uous young son formed a romantic at tach: tout for a colonial belle and beauty, A decondant of thu great Marlborough. She was a born coquette, and cou n tlc- -, wu* tho number of her conquests. TVfeSfc tue young Marquis became wo aspirant for her favor he hod hi? hands full in dispos ing of bis rivals, and ottly bore off the imperious beauty after wounding one of her lovers unto death in a duel. Shortly after this tho old Marquis died, leaving to his son a large tract of wild land in the part of Virginia that afterwards be came Kentucky, which had been be stowed upon him for his services to the republic. Hero tho t on came and built a kind of baronial castle that woo fortress and bar racks in turn. It became the centre of a little settlement, and many were the long Beiges it sustained and the desperate de fenses it made against tho hostile Indians. It was hore that the young wife with her baby in her arms was struck by a shot from a secreted savage and fell before her husband's eyes, the little one "lasped in her arms unhurt. After thia tho bereaved husband took his children the long and diiiicult journey back to Virginia, placing them with their mother's relatives to be reared. The baby girl grew up in timo with all her niothev'B beauty and winsomeness, and reigued over almos, as many hearts. How is it that in old times, and especial ly in Virginia, tho women were able to do so much damage ? Is it because pret ty women were fewer then, and therefore one could hold undisputed sway, or aro there such greater numbers of beautiful ones now that ?fono is unkind tho sligh ted lover may easily find consolation in ono equally charming, ready to his hand ? Or, perhaps, mankind has grown more coolly philosophical in the matters of tho heart, and can Bay with that caustic old follow who went squarely down to ibo bottom of such things : "Bo abe fairer than the day. Cr than flowery moado in May, If imo bo net fair to mo, What care I how fair aho bo ?" In those times men fought for a lovely woman's smiles, and when ono waa tho fortunate winner the rejected wont promptly off and blew their "brains out when they had any. Certain lt is that tho fair women played the principal parts in the long line of thrilling roman ces, with which, as a noteworthy cir cumstance, every Virginia family of any note, is dowered. This seems to apply peculiarly to Virginians, and can hardly ho said of any other class of people, un less it be thoso of the eztrome South. How common is it to remark of almost any family history of the Old Dominion that, with but few embellishments, it would make an excellent novel. But to return to tho young heiress and belle. She was betrothed to a young Englishman and the wedding day set for a time immediately upon his return from avisit to his homo across tho w-ter. Btu'e came back in his coffin, having died on shipboard when near home. Tho remains were accompanied by a brother, then vis iting America for the first time. The expectant bride buriod her bridal voil and wreath in her lover's coffin and then succumbed to brain fever. After lingering between life and death for a long time she recovered, and the dead lover's brother, a remarkably winning and handsome man, made known lo her his brother's last request, mainly, that after her first grief was spent she should marry this new suitor. After much per suasion he was successful and tbey were married. Then, in the course of time short enough the husband's real character developed itself. He wu harsh and brutal in his treatment of hts wife, letting it Uk <Yn?K- In/on ?h.? U. f-i -- - - -r-/-- -. --- - - -? . ? ?v.wMMV rr ao all that had tempted him. It was evon suspected ho bad been the cause of his brother's death in order to trump up the plausible falsehood find win bis fiancee, whom he h ad ne ver seen but knew to be aa heiress. He spent her money prodigally and finally removed with his family tb Kentucky, in orde' "?. torment his father, in-law, who in tin meantime had mar ried again, and was rearing a largo family at Ferney. Hebesoughtthe oldgsnHcm?n for his daughter's portion of the estate and finding his importunities unavailteft sent Ms wife to her father with the sar. castle m. ssage, "to Uko ber and keep her, for bo ww tired of supporting other people's children." Her father did keep ber, and oin: shortly died a raving maniac. She left two daughters, inheriting their mother's personal charms, tho younger ono also being gifted with her peculiar father's character. As they grew to womanhood tho elder incurro ; her parent's severe displeasure by showing a partiality for ber mothers family. She became affianced to a wealthy Southern planter, to whom aha was deeply attached. Her father objected to tho matc?, and offered her a husbaud of bis own choosing-the captain of a vossol known to have played tho pirate on more thau one occasion. She scornfully refused all overtures, and with a revenge, so re markable as it ia true, thin unnatural father sot himself to wenn away tho af fections of her betrothed by a Bystom of tho most plausiblo and cunningly fabri cated slanders, at thc samo timo paving tho way for a marriage between tho younger daughter and her sister's lover, assuring him that it was simply a desire not to seo him imposed upon that led him to break off a match with a woman unworthy of a good and hJuorable nun. The inhuman artifice was successful. Tho favorite daughter married ami went her way, and tho wronged child took up ber load of sorrow to hor life's end. This mousier at last met tho fate hu so richly deserved, ile had made himself such a terror by his cruelties that his name grew to bo a by-word of roproach where lie lived, and one day a well-aimed shot from a garret window in the village cut short his careor. Ko relieved WHB tho commu nity that no search wau made for tho murderer. Ferney has passed from hand to hand and owner to owner, but yet ulways held by Ihosoof the samo blood and lineage. There, is extaut in tho family a letter from LaFayetto to one of iU members, written during his last American tour in responso to an invitation to visit Ferney, which the illustrious traveler was com pelled to decline. Amongst tho family treasures, long since retired from active service and kept morely as heirlooms, aro a sot of silver teaspoons, with funny little round bowls and carved handles, worn very thin, bearing tho crest of an old English baronial family, and also a pair of silver candlesticks, said to have lighted many a festive occasion, when tl ti proud est names of Virginia and tho fairest faces in the Old Dominion were gathered together, when Virginia was tho bright est star in the crown of tho young repub lic. There ia tho portrait of a comparative ly modern member of tho family, a bon uic looking girl vrho was ail arrayed in her bridal finery and her bridegroom waiting, when behold ! young Lochinvar, lor whom sho had chorished a deeply seated partiality, rodo up to a sido win dow, beckoned the bonnie bride, and, taking her up behind him, with her white robes strcamiug in the wiud, bore her away from tho dumb-stricken brides maids, who woro left gasping. It is refreshing to relato that tho mar riage turned cut well. Two of tho ladv's son's lost their lives in tho lato war, fight ing on opposite sides. Tho elder, a West Pointer, went into the Federal army and was killed at Gettysburg ; the other died in a Northern hospital, and both bodies v.cro brought homo at the closoof the war and interred side by sido in tho hurrying Sround not a Btone'a throw from the win ow8 of Ferney. Railroad Progress. No question of tho ago is moro impor tant than that of building aud operating railroads. Tho whole country is being intersected with a net work of roads, an 1 in no department does science exhibit her wonderful progresa, and tho daring and brilliant feats of invention and dis covery being ruado in hf tif.me. than in thia. Wc ordinary in^-iiir: ?.?.and aghast in contemplation o? tho uses to which tho iutellcct of man puts steam, the knowlcdgo of the laws of nature, and of mathematical science in connection with railroads. Tho building of ronds itself han undergono a most marvelous revolution since tho day when tho South Carolina Railroad was built upon piles driven into the ground. Now the iron horse climbs mountains at a grade of 200 feet to the mile, aud 75 feet to the mile ia considered but ordinary grado. En gines with a long line of coaches attached dash around short curve.) at n rate of speed which makes our old timo ideas of safe progress tremble. Mountains aro tunnelled. Bridges aro suspended over rivers without a pier to support, and trains of caro glide along over elevated railways ou a level with our bonne tops. Truly the sotanee of building railroads is wonderful. No: is it confined to me chanical scier -e. Financial skill plays no uniir.portr.iit part in the building of modern rebids. Formerly the money .mua bo in hand to carry out grand pro jects like this. But now a few energetic, reliable and determined men set them selves to tho task, without monoy, aavoa few hundred dollars, and lo, in a few years tho road is built. The problem of the age is tho regula tion of railroads. In thin lino the pto ?ress has not kent pace with tho other, 'he selection of tho question of Railroad management is engaging tho attention of Borne of thc brightest men of the country. The brilliant and broad-minded Charles Francis Adams and lawyers Uko Jerry Black, Ac.j aro ?tudyiug and writing upon the question, how far the general and State government may interfere in the management of roads. Tho regulation of freight charges as as to prevent dis crimination is the subject cf newspaper editorials, legislativo enactment, ana end less discussion, and its solution seems al most impossible. Our Southern railroads have not h Rh ertofore 1 m managed with skill and ability. . .ut now that they have gone though tho milla, have fallen into other hands, we might look for hotter days for them, were it Pvt. that vast corporation are threatening to swallow all independent Raes to the great danger of out maimer cial and agricultural in tore?te. Thoy ure reaching cit after roads which can oner ate as feeders to their main branches. The dauber from theso hugo soulless monsters is great. Too great power en ables thom to control legislation in their behalf, and to defy competition, the life of trade. Yot this is essentially the age of railroad building, and it behooves us, if wo would not be left bohind in the race for position and prosperity, to put our shoulder to the wheel and completo all the roads now in progress of being built io our county. We ehall then havo tho finest system of roads in the State-Ab beville Medium. - Nobraska is trying a hlgh-llcenso law ; 81,000 in cities of ton thousand in habitants and $600 in ?mall places.

MJlei Long and Ooo Mile ffldo Six Un? dre tl Thoaaaud Ilaea?U of Whfat and Ninety Tliouiund liaaliola of Oat?. TARO-O, I>. T., August 13. Can you imagine a wheat field of 30,? OOO acre?? Thirty thousand aerea of Blender golden stems, each bearing a cluster of yellow head?, bowing and nod ding as if in acknowledgement of admir ing glances. If you cannot fancy such a picture, you perhaps will admit that it must bo ono of *ho mo3t sublimo and fascinating scenes tho human oyo can witness. I stood this morning at tho contro of tho largest farm iu tho world ; tho lar gest pioco of territory ever cultivated uridor the direction of a single man. An far as tho oyo could reach, North, South, East or Weat, them was nothing visible but the bluest of blun sky, the reddest of red barns, tho great awkward-looking threshers with their smoked begrimed engines beside them, tho whirring har vesters, end miles after miles of wheat. If this farm were stretched out Uko a ribbon half a milo wide it would reach as far ?i from (.'hicago to Milwaukee. If it wore iu u single rectangular piece, a milo in width, it would be forty-five miles from end to ond, and there is not a fence, not a tree, not a bush ; only an occasional strip of green across the gol den that marks tho existence of a road or section line. Near UH was a little white houi'c wh< "\ tho "storekeeper" lived-thc comirissary of a great army, for an army it is-and wo inquired of thc gentlemanly Mr. Mandoll how wo could get across to thc office of Mr. Dalrymple. Ho i m pressed a mulo team that happened to drive up for supplies, und ?eut us to hcadqar tera. There was a cluster of great red barus, an aero or two of cabbages, beets, onions and waving corn ; a lazy-looking wind mill that swung around as indifferently as if a regiment of thirty mou were not working in the field, and a cozy cottage, plain but comfortable. Wo rapped at the door and were shown into the parlor. The room was handsomely furnished, with some evidences of luxury, but no moro than are found in tho houses of "fore-handed" farmers all over the West. We asked for Mr. Dalrymple, and he came down from somo room above; a slender quiet-looking man, with a pen behind his ear. whom you would judge to bo a schoolmaster ur clergyman at sight. Iiis hands were poft and white moro accustomed to the COG?: cr peo than the plow-and his face, wore it not coveted with beard, was not so much burned as mine. He met us cordially, invited us to spend the day and dine, and suggested that ho would have a team hitched up to drivo us over "tho place." I noticed he always called it "tho place." lu tho meantime I asked him a few questions. The first ono was as to the yield this year. "It was a late Spring," fluid Mr. Dal rymple. "At tho limo when we aro usunlly putting in a crop, the place for miles around us here was covered with water from tho melted snow, und you could have Bailed a boat over a field where now there is wheat that will yield twenty bushels to the acre. I feared at one time that thc crop would be a failure, but nm very positive now that tho averap-e per acre will not bo below twenty bu.die ls." "Havft you sold your wheat?" "Our plan is different from thc ordi nary method. Wo are sending about three train loads a day lo Duluth." "How mnuy bushels is that?" "About 30,000 bushels. Wo load a vessel at Duluth every two days and send it to Buffalo, where it is sold on arrival at the market price." "What is that?" "The price to-day." said Mr. D&.r'W? 61e consulting r. telegram, ''is $1.27 at offal o. Freights aro about twenty seven cents, so it nols us about $1 a bushel." "What will your crop amount to?" "I am expecting about 000,000 bushels. Besides this we have 90,000 bushol? of oats, which we keep for our Block." "Do you keep stock enough to eat up 90,000 bushels of oats?" Mr. Dalrymplo smiled pleasantly and remarked that 800 horses and mules oat up a good many oats. "How much does your crop cost you?" "It cosh* us about ??o an acre to pro duce a crop when wo UBO our own stock and pay our meu by tho month, bu*, when we hire men and teams by tho day its costs UB about $8 an acre." "What do you pay your med?" "We poy $30 a month for regular hands, and $2 per day for extra hands during harvest. "What nmount of Machinery havoyou going to-day?" "Two hundred self-binding harvesters and 30 steam threshers. Tildie 200 har vesters cut an average of 2,800 acres a day and the threshers turn out about 30,000 bushels a day. Aa fast as it is threshed we bag tho wheat, cart it over there to the c^rs, empty the Backs and send away three troin-ioadB daily," "Where do you keep your men ?" "If you had been hero at 5 o'clock this morning you could have Been 800 men at breakfast. We keep quito a hotel, with 40 cookB." Mr. Dalrymplo explained at length how this enormous business is conduct ; ed. The 30,000 acres under cultivation are divided into five divisions of 0,000 acres each, under superintendente, who are responsible directly to Mr. Dalrym nlo, the commander-in-chief. Each of .hese regiments is divided again into battalions, w'*h a foreman or major, who has cb?.rge cf 2,000 acres. Under him roo turo*' crmpank-9, each having a cap tain cultivating a action, which is 640 aerea of laud. 1'ach superintendent fiants his crop and i arvcats it. reporting rom time to time to Mr. Dalrymplo, who directs and oversee* the whole, but spends the greater part of his time at tho office, planning and calculating for the best results from the smallest outlay. Tho superintendents aro responsible for tho good order of their men, stock and ma chinery, and there is a decided rivalry between them as to which can produce tho biggest crop. When the ploughing commences in the Spring the men go out in gangs, each takir.g 640 acrcB, under tho direction of a foreman, who rides along cn horseback to seo that the work is done properly. Everything is in the military stylo.- Oar. Chicago Inter Ocean. TUE AGE OP IBON.-The North Amer ican Manufacturer states that two hun dred pounds of iron per capita are required annually by the people of this country, and that ere long double that amount will be required. Lumber, continues the Advertiser, ia destined to decline in its uses and iron will take its place. And there is no reason why it should not take the place of wood, which is cumbrous and costly and unavailable in the long run. Iron ships and boats on water, wire fences and iron shapes for buildings, are yearly increasing in use. As we grow in wealth our ideas expand and we seek greater permanency, moio enduring and attractive surroundings. Improvements in iron-making are gradually making a reduction tn cost, while the increasing scarcity of lumber is rendering it a great er luxury year by year. Lumbermen ask with surprise what will wo do ? Wo answer: Use iron instead of wood when its use is possible. Iron at two conts a Sound will be cheaper than lumber nt ve cents a foot. It may take a few years ?'et to develop tho full extent to which ron can be made to take the place of wood. Our progress in that direction during tho past five or ten years bas been very rapid, and, judging from the past our future progress will be even moro marked. Cousiniug. Wo think it about time to again put the following good story in circulation. A country gentleman, several year? ago, visited Beton, aud immediately re paired to thc hour-o of a relative, a lady who had married a merchant. The oar ties were glad to sec him uud invited him to make their house his home (as he bad de clared his intention of remaining in towu but a day or two.) Tho husband of tho lady, anxious to show attention to a rela tive and friend of his wife, took tho gen tleman's horse to the livery stable in the neighborhood. Finally, his visit became a visitation, and thc merchant, aller .1 lapso of eleven days, found, be*ide lodg ing and bo' rding tho gentleman, a pretty considerable bill had run upai the livery stable. Accordingly he went to tho man who kept tho stable, and told him when the gentleman took thc horse he should pay his bill." Very good," said thc stable keeper; "I understand you." Accordingly, in a short timo, the country Sentleman went to the stable aud or ered his boree to be got ready. The bill of course was presented. "O," said the gentleman, "Mr. my relative, will pay thia." "Very good, sir," said the stable keep er; "please to get an ordor from Mr, -; it will bo the same as money." Tho horse was put up again and down went tho country gentleman to Long Wharf, on which tho merchant kept. "Well," said bc, "I am going now.' "Are you ?" said the merchant. "Well, good bye." "Well, about my horse ; thc man says the bill must be paid for his keeping." "Well, I suppose this is all right sir." "Ves-well, but you know I'm your wife's cousin." "Yes," said tho merchant, "I know you aro, bul your horse is not.'"
