"What to do with the Cor* Stubbue.
?Fields tbat hare been cleared in time
should be plowed in readiness for early
sowiug of onts in spring. If roots ore to
follow the corn, the stubble may be
"v plowed at once and sown with rye.
Three <-r four bushois should be sown to
the acre. This ryo will furnish a heavy
crop of gi-fcu fodder next May, or an
excellent early pasture in the spring, or
may be plowed under as a grern manuring.
In either case the expense of the
seed, which is the only outlay, will be
n-.auy times repaid in the increase of the
fallowing crop.
Potatoes that are already dug should
bo eecured in pits or cellars at cnoe, beft-ro
fcharp frosts occur. If pitted, do
not ueglect to amply ventilate the pits.
A oca inch drain tile, placed chimneylike
in the top of the pit for every six
ffpt, in lenctli. will be sufficient: instead
of the tiles, wisps of straight wheat
fctraw, four or five inches thick, may be
used. Any potatoes still in the ground
should be dug, and secured without
delay. Wbat are intended for sale are
best sold from the field; it rarely ever
pays to ?toro potatoes for sale until
spring. It i? well to remember that potatoes
when boikd, are worth at least
twenty-five cents a bushel for feed.
Oats after Corn.?There is no question
of the desirability of avoiding this
rotation if possible, when wheat follows
the oats. In most cases it is better to
take a root crop after corn, and then
oats may follow the roots, and clover be
sown down with the oats. With very
favorable experience in eeeding down
with oats, we never hesitate to do it,
and wheat may follow the clover. A
longer rotation is made necessary, and
this is advantageous. If this change is
made, it necessitates a change in the
fall work, and thorough plowing of the
corn stubble. Here is a point worth
close study.
Storms may now be looked for, and
everything should be put under cover
that needs protection, and the cover be
made weather-proof. Stacks should be
completed and thatched; sheds be tightened,
the windows made good, and
bourd roofs Trell nailed down to prevent
leaking. Yards should bo drained, and
nl! the litter gathered in where it will
bo kept dry. Every arrangement for
economy in the use of material, and for
the comfort of lire stock of all kinde,
should be made now, when it will cob4
less in time and labor than if done later.
Koot Crops.?Mangels and sugar
beets should be harvested without delay.
Later and hardier roots may be
left to mature as long as growing weather
holds out, but not so late as to be injured
by heavy frosts. Parsnips may
be left in the ground all winter, and will
be improved in quality.
Cows.?As soon as cows are put on
dry feed, the milk falls off, but if they
are well fed, what is lost in quantity is
g:iined in quality. A cow that is milking
should have at least two quarts of
mixed com meal and brae daily, with as
much chaffed hay as she will eat. A cow
will usually eat two bushels of the chaff
in a dny. Some roots in addition would
be useful. Dry cows should have one
quart daily; it will not hurt a cow to
take on a little fat at this season, nor
make her milk any less when she comes
in.
Calves and yearlings should be kept
growing. A check at this season cannot
be made up through the winter.?Agriculturist.
Fruit Garden.
Planting should be done early this
month oi all hardy fruits. If the soil is
nr?f in nmnrl frtnditinn liPfll in tho nlantfl
L
in a sheltered place. .
Strawberries.?Cover the soil of the
beds with t-traw or leaves, just before
the ground freezes hr.rd ; let the covering
over the plauts themselves be slight
or they may be injured.
currants and gooseberries.?The
bushes when crowded should have the j
old branches thinned out, and the new
growth shortened one-half or one-third.
The prunings of new wood may be made
into cuttings six inches long and set out
at once.
Blackberries and Raspberries.?If
the old fruiting canes have not been cut
out and burned as directed last month,
do it now. While the ground remains
open, it is better to set out plants as
they start early in the spring, as the
shoots are apt to be broken off if moved
then.
Trellises are repaired, or new ones
made, nioro conveniently now than in
spring. Use the most durable wood.
Chestuiifc i3 durable in. some soils,
red cedar lasts well: locust is the
most durable, and whftre this is scarce,
pieces three feet long may be set two
and a half feet in the ground and uprights
of pine or other lumber spiked
to them.
Grapevines. ?Beginners make a great
mistako in setting out old vines. We
see offered in the city markets stems an
inch or two in diameter without as much
root as a good year old vine should
have. Young vines, one or two years
old, with abundant fibrous roots are preferable
to old ones. Cat back the stem
to a foot, plant in good, not over-rich
soil, spreading the roots well, and then
oover the surface with litter. It is not
practicable to give directions for pruning
fruiting vines, as all depends upon pre
vious treatment and present condition.
It must be borne in mind that the bearing
shoots came Irom the buds now visible,
and one must leave buds where
shoots are wanted. Most varieties may
be propagated from cuttings made from
canes of last season's growth. Cut the
canes removed in pruning into lengths
of two or three buds, tie into bunches,
label, and put away in earth in a oool
cellar.?Agriculturist.
Htable Floors.
The German town (Ga.) Telegraph
Bays: The long debated question as to
the best material for stable floors is
being revived. A clay floor was held
out for years, and such was the earnestness
of its advocates and the many arguments
br.v.?,:.i tj Ltr.r u^on it, that
we were induced some fifteen or twenty
years ago to try it. In three or four
months we had the planks back again,
being severely satisfied of the disadvan
tages of clay for horses. Our present
floor of plank is simply inclined a little
from front to rear, where tho usual gutter
is made to carry off 1 be liquid voidings.
We do not believe in sand, coal
ashes, sawdust, usphaltum, flags, cobble
stones, or any of these modern devices
to injure horses. Thus far we
have never noticed that this little inclination
was in any way injurious ; and we
doubt whether tho wooden grating
placed over the planking would be advisable
on tho ground that the animal
would be no more comfortable, while
this movable grating or second floor
might lead to accidents. When a person
can keep horses in a good, sound,
healthy condition for from five to seven
years, as we have done on a carefully
constructed plank flooring inclining a
little to the rear, it is just as well to be
satisfied with it.

duoed in 1823, contains one piece that
is known in every English speaking
conn try?" Homo, sweet home. Olari
is a beautiful peasant girl, who has exchanged
hor father's lo^ly cottage for
the splendor of the duke's palace and
become his bride. But she pines for
the simple life ehe has led, and as she
enters, fatigued and melancholy, she
siugs this song. The words are by John
Howard Payne, an American, and though
the music was called by Bishop a
"Sioilian air," it is now generally agreed
that it was really oomposed by turn. " It
is the song," says Olari, "of my native
village?the hymn of the lowly heart,
which dwells upon every lip there, and
like a spell-word brings back to its home
the affection whioh e'er has been betrayed
to wander from it. It is the first
music heard by infancy in-its cradle ;
and our cottagers, blending it with p11
their earliest and tenderest recollections,
never cease to feel its magic till thty
cease to live." The air is heard again
during the play ; a chorus of villagers
sing it when Olari revisits bar home.

Going Softly.
She makes no moan above her fade 1 flowers,
She will-not vainly strive against her lot,
Patient she wears away ths slow, sad hours,
As if tho ray they had were quite forgot;
j While stronger fingers enntch away the sword
And lighter footsteps pass her on the ways,
j Yielding submissive to tho stern award
That said she must go softly all her days.
She knows the pulse is beating quickly yet,
She knows tho dream is sweet and subtle
still,
That straggling from tho cloud of past regret,
Ready for conflict live hope, joy and will;
So soon, so soon to veil the eager oyes,
To dull the throbbing ear to blame or
praise,
So Boon to crush rewaKening sympathies,
And teach thom sho goes softly all her days.
She will not speak or move beneath the doom,
She knows sh# had her day and flung hor

The loserscarce the laurel may assumo,
Nor evening think tho noonday glow can

MRS. GREEN'S SON-IN-LAW.
" Well, Sarepta, I've found out all
about them."
Mrs. Green eat herself down in front
of the fire, took off her bonnet, and shed
upon her daughter a smile of great
satisfaction.
" Found out all about whom, mamma
?" Sarepta questioned, with sweet
demureness.
" Well, upon my word, you are the
most obtuse girl of my acquaintance.
When you saw me come in just now,
you understood that I'd been out walking,
I suppose ? Yes ? Well, I'm glad
you did. ~Ycu know I don't often go
out walking without an object, I suppose
! I'm enoouraged to find that you
understand that, too. And you remember
those two young men we met twioe
yesterday, when we went to your Aunt
I jane ? Of course you do ; you needn't
answer that. Well, now, knowing that
I have been out, and with an object,
does it occur to you that I went to find
out all I could about those two young
m?n ?"
It will be seen that Mrs. Green had
I the gift of speech in addition to her
! many other attainments. Her daughter,
i too, was a fair practitioner, in her naj
tiye tongue, but on this occasion she
j merely said :
j " But I don't see why you should
want to find out anything about them."
" Of course not," responded the maj
tron. " But if I were your daughter,
j and you were my mother, you would
I understand it well enough."
" Why, what in the world has that got
| to do with it, mamma ?"
But the young lady still kept her eyes
: rather too persistently fixed upon fcer
j little bit of embroidery, and it is to be
| feared that she was fencing with her
j parent,
"You know well enoHgh that it has
I everything to do with it," responded
I Mrs. Green. " When two handsome
j yonng men meet us together in the
street, and then put themselves out of
the way to run against us again, you
don't suppose they take such pains to
get another look at me, do you V
"They might. I'm sure you're worth
looking at twice," responded the daughter,
very prettily.
" That's nonsense, and you know it.
They wanted to see you. You're young
and rather good looking, although you
are not altogether my style; and there
are not so many young and pretty girls
in this village that strange young men
are going to neglect any of them."
" Oh. mamma I How you talk."
"I talk like a prudent woman, and
act like one; bo I went out to find out all
about those two young men. One of
them will do very well indeed."
"Which one is it who will do?" inquired
Sarepta, laughing, and beginning
now to show a little shy interest iu the
subject.
"That one with an Ulster overcoat
on," replied the elder lady, shooting a
very sharp glance at the young one.
" Why, they both wore Uisters," put
iu Sarepta, falling into the trap with
great simplicity.
"Aha! I thought so," chuckled the
astute Mrs. Green. "You noticed
them a little, while they noticed you a
good deal. Well, it's the tallest one, I
mean; the one with the dark complexion
and black mustache. Charles Edgerton
his namo is."
"The other one is much the best
looking and the most gentlemanly, I
think," said the daughter.
" George Merton. Oh, yes; but he
won't do at all. He is handsome, and
has plenty of talent, too ; but he has
neither money nor position. Mr. Edgerton
haa plenty of both, so he's the
one that will do.
"Why, I thought"? aud then Sarepta
stopped and bit her lip.
"Thought what?"
"Nothing; only that we were doing
a rather queer thing, discussing these
two gentlemen as if they belonged to
us."
"Queer, maybe, but prudent," and
the prudent mother withdrew to meditate
upon the advantages of a son-inlaw
with ooth money and position.
The fact goes without saying that
there is more or less wickedness in this
world. If there were not, good Mrs.
Green would have be*n spared the surprise,
mingled with humiliation, that
fell upon her that same evening.
Mother and daughter had set themselves
down beside the evening lamp to
chat and sew, and to have an altogether
cozy evening, when the bell rung, and
Mr. Charles Edgerton and Mr. George
Merton were shown into the room.
Mrs. Green was almost astonished out
of all courtesy in contemplating the impertinenoe
of the young men of our
day, who go calling without waiting for
introductions. Her surprise was by no
means lessened, but the course of hor
contemplation was turned when her
daughter showed what the girls of our
day are capable of, by welooming the
two gentlemen very serenely, and introducing
them in a very matter-of-fact
way to her mother.
The explanation of it was that these
young persons had met in the merry
summer time in an out of the way
country nook, where Sarepta was sojourning
with a city oousin, friend of
the Messrs. Edgerton and Merton.
Mrs. Green accepted the situation
gracefully, and was pleasantly courteous
as became so polite a lady." But when
the call had ended, and mother and
daughter were left again to eaoh other's
companionship, Sarepta listened to some
animated remarks.
" A nice trick you played me I" said
Mrs. Green. "Let me go out asking
questions about those two men, an'J
you knew all about them all the while !
Why didn't you tell me ?"
" Why, mamma, I didn't know that
you wanted to learn anything about
them. The first I knew you had found
out all I had to tell, and more too ; so
what was the use?"
14 Well, you might have told me before.
And how was it you didn't recognize
them when we met on the street?"
"I did ; I bowed and they lifted their
hats the first time we met them. You
did not see them at all that time, for
you were busy looking at Mrs. Bonce
and her new cloak."
" The first time ! Did we meet them
tnree times instead 01 twice, tben ?"
"Idid not oount the tim*n, bnt I
think it must have been three."
" Humph ? Well, I've nothing to do
now bnt to see that no trouble comes
of all your smartness. To begin with,
I notioed that Mr. Merton was rather
more attentive to you this evening tLan
there was any necessity for. I want
you to remember that he is not tho one
who will do."
There was no reply to this injunction.
Perhaps it was not heard, and subsequent
facts rendered this all the more
probable.
The two young men prolonged their
6tay in the village, and made frequent
calls together at Mrs. Green's house.
Mr. Ed^erton was all that could be desired
in tho way of friendly courtesy,
but George Merton was that, and more
too. It became more and mote apparent
that he aimed to become the one who
would do.
He came often with his friend, but
more often by himself, and one day he
called not on Sarepta, but upon Mrs.
Green herself. The nature of his errand
may be gathered from a remark
of that lady's during the conversation.
"I am very sorry matters have gone
I so far," ihe said, "and I tried in every
way to prevent it. All I can do now is
to say that I will never give my consent
to your marriago with my daughter. I
esteem you very greatly, but I long
since made up my mind that my son-inlaw
must have fortune ana position."
"But, my dear madam "?
"I havo had my say, Mr. Merton, and
nothing will ever make me say differently.
I don't mind saying to you that the
same question from your friend would
receive a very different answer."
George Merton went away then, and
Sarepta received a little lecture from
her mother. The girl was a little pale,
but very quiet, and her mother thought
' :li- Ql.n
sne was going to do very seutjiuiw. one
felt a little discouraged, however, whon
Sarepta said, quite in her natural voice :
" I know he is poor, and without position,
as you call it, but I will never
marry any other man as 16ng as I live I"
and that ended the conversation.
After this matters went on much the
same as usual, exoept that George Merton
camo no more to Mrs. Green's house.
Sarepta was a little quieter than of old,
but altogether acted in a practical manner,
'that gave her mother very fcreat
encouragement.
One afternoon the young lady dressed
to go out for a walk, and stood for a
time with one foot on the fender bar,
listening to her mother's talk, which ran
pretty much in this strain toward the
close :
" I haven't seen Mr. Edgerton for
two or three days, have you? And?
his friend seems to have disappeared
altogether. I must say it was very proper
of him not to oomo here after I gave
him so deoided an answer. Why, bless
mv soul! Here he is now!"
And there, sure enough, he was, stepping
leisurely in through the open door
of the room. He had evidently Bcrewed
his courage up, and was keeping it up
by a little bit of bravado not quite natural
to him. His hat was pulled tight
upon hie head, his step had the least
suggestion of a swagger in it, and he carried
his bands in the pockets of the
short, odd looking jacket which he wore
for the apparent purpose of making him
look unnecessarily independent.
His manner put Mrs. Green on the
offensive, as if it were a challenge. Her
face took on its hard, set look, her
hands folded themselves together under
her apron, and she stood looking at him
very frigidly, and failed to notice that
her daughter was not so much surprised
as she onght to have been.
" Good afternoon, Mr. Merton," said
Mrs. Green, very much as if he had
been a sewing machine agent. "We
were just speaking of?your friend."
"Ah, Charlie! Yes, poor fellow, he
haB gone back to the oity. He really
needed a longer rest, bnt he couldn't
take it without losing his situation, and
he cannot afford to do that."
'' His situation ? Why "?
" Yes, you know he is a bookkeeper.
But, no; I remember now, my friend
Mrs. Garwood got our names mixed in
telling you about us."
"I see," said Mrs. Green, in a tone
that implied many things.
"But come, dear, if you are ready
wo will go for our walk now," said
Georee. in a aueer. hurried wav. "I
just dropped in, Mrs. GreeD, to take my
wifo out for a -walk."
"Your wife? What?'' and Mrs.
Green sat down and waited for more
breath.
" Mamma, you will forgive ub, won't
you?" pleaded Sarepta. "Perhaps it
was wrong, but you were so firm, so we
were married yesterday."
" Of course I forgive you, now that
thero is nothing else for me to do,"
said the politic lady. "And if you
will wait a minute I'll go with you. It
will close people's mouths."
As they all started out together, Mrs.
Merton said :
" George, you ought to have told me
about this ridioulous mistake."
"I know I ought, but you see, my
dear, I couldn't resist the temptation
of giving your mother a son-in-law with
' fortune and position,' in 6pite of herself,"
he replied.
Sad Case of Shooting.
An inquest was held over the dead
body of John A. Howard, at the residence
of the deceased, in {.he town of
Marion, Minn.
John Mayhew, tho young man who
oV>nf Mr Ffnurorrl xrna tho Hrnf; wif.riPRB
sworn. He confessed he bad shot the
deceased. He further stated that while
on hia way to Rochester the evening
previous, ho was hailed by a couple of
men who sprung from the brush at the
roadside and told him to stop, as they
wished to talk wilh him. He did not
stop, but carno on to the city, he two
men following him as far as the ball
grounds. He thought they meditated
some crime. When ho returned home
he took another route. Arriving at
Mr. Howard's, ha called Arlington, a
son of the decerned, and requested him
to go with him to his?witness'?father's
barn and stay with him that night, as he
was afraid their horses would be stolen.
Arlington went with witness to Mr.
Mayhew's, and went into tho house.
They saw strangers there. Witness advised
his father not to let the strangers
stay over night as he thought they intended
to commit some theft. Witness
and Arlington then wont to Mr. Mayt
? i ?*i- 1? j 'il _
new a Darn, witness ueing urmeu wiiu a
Spencer rifle. They intended to stay
in the barn over night to watch for
horse thieves. After being there a short
time, Arlington suggested that they remove
the horses to his father's barn,
and that they both go there and stay, as
there was more room and greater oonvenienoe
for them than in Mr. Mayhew's
barn. Accordingly the boys took Mr.
Mayhew's two horefls to Mr. Howard's
barn, and then prepared themselves a
place to sleep on some straw near the
horses. They oloseil the door and sat
a neck yoke against it to keep it shut,
the boyB lying down on some straw within
a few feet of the door. About twelve
o'clock, the boys being about half
asleep, the neok yoke was pushed away
and the door opened. Witness saw no
person nor heard any one speak, but
supposed that horse thieves were coming
into the barn. Witness then was
much excited, and, raising to his knee,
pointed his gun toward the place where
the door opened and fired. Mr. Howard's
feet were just within the door, and
as he was shot he fell outward. As soon
as he had fired, witness put his head
out of the door and called as loud as he
could for Mr. Howard. When Arlington
came out of the door he said: "It
is father I" Immediately after witness
called for Mr. Howard, and the latter
said: "What did you shoot me for?"
Mr. Howard laid where ho fell until the
doctor came, which was about two
hours. The wound inflicted on Mr.
TTr.Trnrd bv the shot fired bv witness
caused his death.
The Batter Sculptress.
An exhibition of modeling in buttar
was given in tbo commissioners' room,
in the r^ar of Judges' Hall, on the Centennial
grounds, by Mrs. Caroline B.
Brooks. The modeling of a fac simile
of a human face was executed by the
artist in the presence of several commissioners
and representatives of the
press, the sculptress giving a practical
demonstration of her method of taking
casts in plaster of works of art. A quantity
of butter, probably ten or fifteen
pounds, was placed in a graniteware
dish, and pressed down as oompactly as
possible with a Bmall wooden, spoon
shaped implement, which, with another
of like pattern, are the only tools made
use of, and then deposited for some five
minutes in a refrigerator in order to
give the material the proper elasticity.
The work was then begun, and as the
outlino of a human head began to
dovelop itself the artist occasionally
consulted a mirror, and by noting the
lights and shadows in the reflection of
her own faco was enabled to apply these
in the sculpturing of the face before
her. The successful completion of the
ta*:; was heartily applauded by the
audienoe.

Sports in Nevada.
A local paper tells how thoy enjoy life
in Nevada when time hangs heavily on
their hands. The scene was a racecourse,
when the people were waiting
for the racing to begin, and the hiatns
was filled by an old man with a trained
duck. He began operations by sinking
a candle box in the gronnd until the top
was abont two inches above the level of
the earth. In this he placed a duck,
which protruded its head through a
hole in the lid.
" Now, gentlemen, three throws for a
quarter, and the feller what hits the
duck gets half a dollar."
A man stepped up to throw, and beiDg
furnished with three light sticks,
each consisting of half a broom handle,
slammed away at the bird's head. With
becoming modesty, the retiring duck
withdrew into the candle box. and al-1
lowed the stick to pass harmlessly over,
amid the applause of the crowd. In a
few seconds ho popped it np again with
a loud quack of victory, and the man let
fly his second shot, which went somewhat
astray, and planted itself in the
capacioofi stomach of the journalist Fat
Holland, while the duck, seeing no
special necessity of withdrawing its
head, gave a sympathetic quack while
Mr. Holland was carried to the house to
be refreshed. The third missile also
flew wide of the mark, and hitting a
horse in the head, came very near starting
a runaway. Several more enthusiasts
joined in the game until about two
hundred men were standing about the
box in a furious state of excitemont, vociferating
wildly, and laying heavy odds
on the duck, while the old man was reaping
a harvest of quarters at a most astonishing
rate. Finally a man who had
made everal close calls on the duck, laid
aside his coat, and, as he grabbed the
sticks, there was a fire in his eye which
evidently meant business. Carefully
gauging the distance, he waited until
the duck (somewhat emboldened with
its successful escape) was looking to one
sido, and then lot fly a stick, the butt
end of which hit the fowl square in the
head, causing him to hang his neck over
th > sido of the box and die.
A Fenian C'onTlct Dead.
William Foley, an ex-Fenian convict,
died in St. "Vincent's hospital, New
York. He haB had rather a remarkable
career. He was born in Tippcrary, Ireland,
in 1836. In 1853 he entered the
service of the East India Company, and
served in the Bombay horse artillery till
the close of the Sepoy mutiny in 1859.
Returning to Ireland, he remained at
homo for a few months, when he again
enlisted, this time joining the Fifth
dragoon guards, one of the craok cavalry
regiments of the British army. In
1864, in company with most of bis regiment,
which was almost exclusively
Irish, he joined the Fenian movement in
Dublin, and from that time till his ar
rest in 1866 was an active propagandist
of the revolutionary movement in the
ranks of the British army. Sir Hogh
Rose, afterward Lord Strathnaien, having
been sent to Ireland to quell the expected
insurrection, Foley was selected
ao his orderly, and while in this position
rendered most effective service to
tho Irish cause. From his position he
was enabled to give important information
to the leaders, and often ran great
risks in doing so.
In February, 1866, he was arrested on
suspicion of complicity in the conspiracy,
tho explosion of which had been
delayed by incompetency and disunion
in America, and a few months later was
tried by court martial and sentenced to
seven years' penal servitude. Tho
crpalpr tmrfc of the militarv nriaonern
were sent to western Australia, where
Foley completed the term of his sentence,
and oame ont of prison a broken
and shattered man, ill-treatment, insufficient
food and hard toil had done
their work, and ho suffered from heart
disease, till finally he saocnmbed.
When Breslin arrived in Freemantle to
effeot the rescue of the military prisoners
Foley was made the medium of communication
with the men inside through
" underground " channels well known to
him, aud the result is well known.
A Successful Humbug.
A gentleman at Spa, a fashionable
watering place in Belgium, writing lo
his sister in Paris, relates an amusing
feature of the place. There is the biggest
thing in the way of a traveling
charlatan dentist here now (September)
I ever saw. He comes into the town
every duy at 3 r. m. and stays two hours
on the "Place," selling his powders,
etc., and bidding for work. He extracts
fnr nothinc. ntandinc nn his
chariot in the open street, and does it
wonderfully well, pulls them out with a
click and says he don't hurt a bit, and
don't draw blood. How is that accounted
for ? He comes in with a brass band
of eight men, all dressed in a splendid
Chinese costume, then comeB his grand
car, he driving four horses, and two
grandly dressed footmen alongside.
The car or wagon is like a circus oneonly
grander, all gold and plate glass.
His name is " Ernault," and he comes
from Pariw. He says he made 160,000
francs last year and built a house in
Paris. He is an elderly man. Altogether
it is the biggest humbug of the '
kind ever known here. He sells a package
lot for two francs fifty oentimes
(fifty cents), a box of powder, a bofltle
of elixir, which is a wonderful styptic,
and toothache drops, and a book on the
teeth and other things.
If this man sold these things in a sen- ,
oiuio maimer lur twouij-uvo ouua, mn
bottles and his boxes might go begging
for purchasers.
His Compass.
An old hunter in Michigan, when the
country was new, got lost in the woods
several times. He was told to buy a
pooket compass, which he did, and a
friend explained its use. He soon got
lost, and laid out as usual. When found .
he was asked why he did not travel by
the compass. He stated that he did not ]
dare to. He wished to go north, and he
" tried hard to make the thing go north,
but 'twas no use; 'twould diddle, diddle,
diddle right round, and point ;
southeast every time."
Rheumatism is more oommon and
distressing, especially in this country,
than almost any other disease : and, at

own person; yet such are tho unp;r

Trouble Oyer a Trial.
In Chicago one Sullivan was tried for
the murder of a Mr. Hanford. It was
shown on the trial that the killing was
done in a momentary passion after Hanford
had struck Sullivan's wife and as he
was about to strike Sullivan. This gav<
color to the latter's plea that he fired the
pistol in self defence, without intending
to kill Hanford ^-ut to disable him before
he could it.diet further injuries upon
either tbr defendant or his wife. The
jury were uuable to ugreo, eleven standing
for acquittal and one for conviction.
But the particular exasperation of Chicago
people arises from the rulings of
Judge McAllister during the trial and
his charge to the jury at its close, which
are said to have been so manifestly onesided
and favorable to the defendant
that they rendered hip conviction impossible;
and a large number of prominent
citizens have Bigned a request to
the judge to resign.
The one juror who stood out for conviction
asserts that he was assailed by
jurymen during their deliberations in
the vilest manner; that threats were
made agaiust his life if he should persist,
and that he dared not sleep in the
jury-room.
The Chicago Tribune adds : They
first bullied, then cursed and blasphemed
nnd h1a/>kornn.TrJnd. tViAn nnflnlv thrfiftfc
oned, and finally capped the climax by
one man making a desperate effort to assault
and throw Barry out of the window
because the latter was not ready to
send Sullivan forth guiltless of all crime
or wrong. Indeed, some of the other
jurymen were brought under the lash,
for they stood originally eight for acquittal
and four opposed to acquittal;
three of theBe four were dragooned into
an abandonment of their honest conviction
that Sullivan ought to be punished,
and Mr. Barry alone resisted at the peril
of his life.
Paradise of Money Lenders,
The Pall Mall Gazette says : India
must be the paradise of money lenders.
Some years ago a Christian capitalist
advanced the sum of ?5 on the personal
security of a Eurasian coreligionist employed
as a writer in a government
office. The interest was originally only
seventy-five per cent, per annum, but as
nothing had been paid at the end of two
years the debtor gave a promissory note
for the amount then due, and undertook
to pay 120 per cent, for the future.
Three years went by without any payments
being made, and then afresh capitalizing
operation was effected. About
that time the debtor's salary was increased,
and he at once set aside a moiety
of hi* pay for the purpose of reducing
his debt. In this he succeeded so
perfectly that at the time of his death, a
few years later, he owed no more than
?100. Quite recently, no further back
indeed than last August, a Hindoo
money lender successfully sued another
mild Hindoo for ?A, being the balance
due on a Bum of ??, the outcome in two
years of an advance of ?2, the interest
being calculated at the rate of seven
and one-half farthings per rupee per
diem. These two case3 illustrate the
general poverty of India, and the infinitesimal
character of its internal and,
so to speak, popular trade. In some of
the remote hill districts coined money is
still regarded as a curiosity to be worn
about the person, business being conducted
on the old principle of barter.
It is not v6ry surprising that in a conntry
where every ryot is in debt, and
where the interest on personal loans

VU11GO ilUiU DOTWJUWJ-UfW WW HlfV UUUUXUU
per cent., the land should be rapidly
passing into the hands of money lenders
and usurers. Though not matter for
surprise, it is certainly matter for regret.

Asiatic Doctors.
The first care of the Sart physician ifl
to study your general appearance and
ask you about your temperament. He
has learned in the "Tukhpatul Mumin
in," the most common medical book
here, that you must belong to one of
four classes, and his treatment of your
malady id governed accordingly. When
lie has combined your symptoms with
your temperament, ho will pull a bag
out of his pocket, or untie the scarf
which serves him for a girdle, and open
an assortment of drugs in twisted bits of
paper, perhaps tasting and smelling to
tind the right ones, and having chosen
the proper medicine, will give you the
usual directions about dose1; and diet.
The medicaments employed by central
Asiatio physicians are, in general, very
simple, being in most port vegetable
substances; but few animal matters and
minerals being used. They are usually
taken simply in the form of powders
and decoctions, and when a mixed medicine
is used, the physician delivers the
substances to the patient and allows him
, to mix them for himself. This not only
saves the physician trouble, bnt, in a
certain way, soothes the suspicions feelings
of the patient, who migh/, imagine,
in case he did not immediately improve,
that he had been poisoned by the doctor.
