The young man did not know ( much aibout the country and it 9eemed quite 1 natural that he should Wish to carry home s to West Spruce 9treet a momento of his trip, ( a specimen from natural history. He saw } hanging from a low bush by the roadside , a strange object, very much like a small balloon made of coarse gray paper. This ' singular thing seemed to be just the speci- s men he wanted. He broke off the twig j from which the curiosity was suspended { and went to the station. He enterecf a well j filled car, placed his specimen in a hat-rack ' aodsank into a seat. ? The car was warm. The warmth seemed ] very delightful to the young man, who had 1 been out in the cold so long. In a short { time he was in a dftae. The car grew warm-t , er. The young man slept. Suddenly the artificial summer atmosphere was rent by ' an unearthly shriek and a lady rose convul- sively and iust as suddenly fainted. Before ] the startled passengers had time to discover 1 the cause of their alarm another lady re- , peated the performance. A third who began in the same manner would probably have finished it without any change in the programme had she not received a sudden 1 shock that acted like hartshorn and saved 1 her from losing consciousness, for just be- ] hind her a man began to swear in a style , truly diabolical. And as if matters were not already bad enough, a baby set up a yell and would not be comforted. 1 The passengers soon got into a strange ] commotion. The men were dancing and 1 some of them were swearing -} the women ] trembling, fainting and shrieking; the chil- . dren scrambling under the seats and blub- J bering and whimpering. The young man } awoke in amazement. For a moment he ] thought the people were crazy and that j some of them would do injury to his pre- i historic balloon. Then the conductor burst , through the crowd and stood before the , young man. He did not speak. He leaned over in front of the young man and opened ! the window. The.young man was sur- 1 prised. The conductor seized the pre-his- i toric specimen and threw it through the ] window with all hi? strength. "Impertinence!" shrieked the young man. "How dare you touch my specimen!" "Your specimen!" roared the conductor, wwhv. von fool, don't vou know its a hor *' ?i 7 v nets' nest?" What Killed Him.?Several days ago Mr. George Webley, one of the most promising young plauters in Arkansas, came to the city bringing the sad intelligence of his fether's death. "The old mhn, you all remember, was one of the most noted 'possum hunters in the State. The other night when it was so dark that a black hat thrown up into the air would have looked like Bui wens luminous shadow, the dogs treed. I begged the old man not to go, but he straightened himself up, gave me a kind of ante-bellum look and wanted to know if I were a fool. He left the house, and after he had been 1 gone about two' hours I became uneasy and ; started out to look for him. I found the old man chopping on a tree about four feet 1 thick. "It's a coon, and I know he's up , here," the old man said. "The tree would have been down by this time, but it's 60 dark that I have to strike by woodchopper's ] instinct." He would not let me assist him, 1 for he had attained the age when a South- ] ern gentleman takes great pride in accom- , plishing a feat alone. It seemed as though , the tree would never fall. The old man's strokes became lighter, for his strength was ' exhausted. The dogs stood around and < whined. They looked to me as though they i were, lying and had only "treed" to please 1 the old man. Finally, the enormous tree , creaked and slowly fell?a stump, extending only a few inches higher than the old man's head. The tree had been chopped down 1 during the high water, and the poor old i man had chopped down a big stump. By < this time daylight was breaking, and when , light came sifting down among the branch- ' es of neighboring trees,, the old fellow look 6(1 at tne stump, Turneu awa}v anu wem home. He had just lost his third wife and J had borne up manfully, but the stump (lis- i appointment killed him." Two or Three New Ones.?It was two or three years ago that the owner of a grist mill on a creek in New Hampshire, having ( a capacity of about fifteen barrels per day, ' entered the mill one morning and said to < his son: i "John, I've been thinking." "Yes, dad." "Flour is too low." "She is that." J "We are all grinding too much." "We are." ] "If we grind less flour the market will 1 stiffen up and prices will advance." ; "That's it dad ; your head is as long as a ' mill race." The mill was shut down for four months, 1 and at the end of that time flour was just as 1 plenty and the price was no higher. ! "John, I've been thinking," said the j old man as he concluded to start up again. , "Of hoW we missed it?" "Exactly. You see my idea of shutting down was all correct, and calculated to les- ' sen the supply and increase the demand, i and I eoulan't think what in Halifax was the matter. I've got her now." "What ?? - * ! "Why, jist about the time we shet down they must have started up twp or three new J six barrel mills over in Varmount, and 1 hence the market continued overstocked!"? 1 Wall Street News.

After awhile the stranger drew a cigar case from his pocket and offered its contents to Mr. Greely for him to take from ita cigar. He declined the polite offer, and the conversation was resumed. Presently the gentleman, taking a cigar from the case, put it in his mouth and returned the case to his pocket. While they were talking he abruptly but courteously remarked to Mr. Greefv: "I hope, sir, you have no objection to a cigar ?" "None in the world," answered Greely, "when it is not lighted." "Oh," replied the gentleman, "I had not the remotest thought of lighting it!" "Then and there," said Mr. Greely, laughing, "was the only time I ever was beaten in politeness. I afterwards ascer tained that my victor was the famous Captain Sherman, of Lake Champlain." ; JS?*"You may talk about your mean * men," said one rustic to another on a San i Francisco ferryboat the other day, "but f we've got a woman over there in Alameda who beats all."

BUTTER RECORDS. The farmer who makes an average of over 225 pounds a year from his cows is a first class dairyman, and this is only about four ind n hrtlf nnuiuls a week Der cow for the year. Think of raising this yield from four and a half to the neighborhood of twenty pounds, and see how the average flies up. Two or three co^vs would,then be jable to perform what whole'herds are .now required to do, with a corresponding and remarkable increase in the profit resulting from the natural saving of feeding but three or four 20ws, instead of twelve or fifteen. What is the dairyman to say about it? It is a consummation devoutly to be wished. If these men can by certain lines of breeding create these phenomenal milkers, we say by all means go ahead and do it, for the plain dairyman will eventually be able to take ad vantage of the results ^; "X" How these wonderful milkers "are"to be produced with a degree of certainty that will warrant all men in undertaking their production, it is probably too early to inquire. Long lines of experiments are to be tried with various families. These trials will be attended with some success and much disappointment.' But the reward to the successful breeder will be very great, and we are glad to see that the effort to es- i tablish a breed of heavy butter makers has unlisted the pride and capital of our rich and amateur farmers. To carry out well planned designs, with this end in view, often requires the aid of large capital and much risk, such-as no one but an enthusiast ivould be willing to devote to it. We therefore welcome the efforts of the gentlemen, md hope some day to see whole herds of jattle bearing the deer-like forms of the ypical Jersey and yielding at a rate of Aventy-five pounds of butter a week when lush, or in the neighborhood of a thousand sounds per cow for the season. That this ;an he done is perhaps too-much to predict it this early stage of the experiment, but as individual cows have been known to ap jroxiroate it, there is no reason why with :ime and skill others may not be made to ?qual and surpass it. No man is safe in Hinting the capacity of an American to improve ;hings; and we see no reason why lie should lot excel with the milk cow as he has with ;he trotting horse, and moreover he will.? American Dairyman. Preserve the Forests.?One of the mcouraging signs of the times is the fact hat the South is waking up to the value of ts timber lands. "The lumber interests )f the United States, and in fact of the whole vorld," says The 'Southern Lumberman, 'have assumed such important proportions hat it is due to the people that our State jfovernment should establish a series of surveys and investigations, with a view of letermining the exact amount oftheir forest .vealth, and that in time the general Cfov?rnment, through its proper department, should publish in statistical form the result >f each State's timber resources. While his authentic report would be of great ,*alue to commerce, the presence or the jotanists and their assistants in every portion of the States and territories would trouse the people to a sense of wealth conained in their forest possessions, and would jerhaps stimulate them to a more economical use of the timber, and make them more careful about preserving it; at any rate, ;he timber, its extent, variety and value, should be made known at as early a date is possible." -M . Becoming Popular.?Norman's Neuxalizing Cordial is fast becoming one of the nost popular articles in existence. It soon ,vill be the trim qua von in every household. Mothers do not hesitate tcf give it "to their hildren, being so harmless hence its popuarity. |pa$feg. I ? 3< Written for the Yorkville Enquirer. t"1 THE M. E7 CHURCH; * ?t.

Franks. r ? i A HIDDEN CRIME. r About'the year 1875 there removed to a t certain town in Georgia not 1,000 miles * from Fairburn, an old gentleman, who took i up his abode there. He had a daughter of 1 about 15 summers who lived with him, and s was the light and sunshine of his humble 1 home. She was a brunette, beautiful in F face and figure and intelligent, and relined. c She was tall and graceful, yet slender, and t lithe as the limb of a willow. To those who * saw beauty in womanly perfections, in her t girlhood she gave the promise to the beau- c tiful and voluptuous womanhood, into c which she bloomed and matured. At the o death of her father, which occurred not long * after their removal to to the place, Miss t Blank was left alone, and she sought in mar- t riage that happiness that comes alone ? through sympathy with one beloved. A c young doctor had also made his appearance r in the place about that time, and a friend- 1 ship between, the tmxsoonibUQimLaaAu:: r quaintance iwhich ripened .jnto affection. 1 They were married, and'llved "apparently 1 happy, and at pepce, w\^i the wodd. After a gine the'dodtor Jbughtli new field c for the prSfe^d^^^fre_ t moved with his young wife to a city in Ala- t bama. He was successful in his practice, j and bid fair to live a long life of usefulness, but this was not to be. In the same neigh borhood in which the young people had set- c tied lived a man whom we will call Blink, j. for the reason that was not his name. He j was tall and remarkably well proportioned, r dark as a Spaniard, with piercing black eyes, s a long,;?los^^vjpg !beard,and.a gtcce t which was magnetism itself?-in "Short, a f handonieman. Blink, although a married ^ man,susceptible to feminine attractions, soon j. fell a victim to the charms of the doctor's c wife while she was enslaved by an admira- a tion l'or the handsome neighbor. Still the p love-blind doctor saw no guile in the wife of g his bosom, and while he received Blink at j his home with the hospitality of friendship, j he y^/iipipg the adder that gay^WmJiis c deatfi-sting. ' ' w ( Soon after this intimacy and fondness sprang up between the unfaithful wife and i the dishonest husband, the young doctor i suddenly died and the former lovely Miss g Blank was a more lovely young widow, f In quick succession followed the sudden a demise of Mrs, Blink. The disconsolate i widower and the charming widow sought p each other's society ere the clods were well p settled upon the1 lifeless bodies of their for- t mer partners, and this excited suspicion. p Suspicion grew stronger, and Mrs. Blink's p body was exhumed for examination ; but f( no indication of poison being discovered, it u | was again consigned to the tomb. ti I Three weeks afterward Mr. Blink arid p Mrs. Blank were married and, removing ti to the Atlantic coast, took up their abode on ri an island, where for a short time they enjoy rliakAnATOrl 1A\TA QHH ^U-ljntJ iruiio \ji lUCU Uionyuyjyvi, JH^TV M1IU of the marital relations*,' which the sequel o proves had been purchased at a sacrifice of 1 honor and of all the better principles of ri humanity. ri Time passed on, and Blink and his wife t) went back to the latter's former home in f< Georgia. There the husband lived a life of ii utter idleness. Soon after their return e a store in the town was burglarized, and t< facts were developed which showed that a j( wagon had been driven up to the door of si the store, loaded with dry goods, provisions, t< etc., and driven away. Although it was fi evident that three persons?one a woman? y had participated in the burglary, no clew as ti to their identity was obtained. The burg- p lary was committed about 1870. tl About two months, after this time Mrs. tl Blink was taken sick unto death; and in ii the silence of the death chamber, while s; burning with fever and tortured with re- o morse, the once beautiful and blooming ii Miss Blank, but now wan and wasted Mrs. " Blink openod the secret closet of'her soul sj 1 ' Aiii norirftt?wiAll: finon which V? anu many, a. ^ S" T? this narrative is founded. The confession embodied all the foregoing facts and further revealed that she had pois- S ed her husband to satisfy the unholy love she entertained for Blink, and that he had ^ poisoned his innocent wife that no barrier ti might stand in the way of their union, ti She also confessed that she and her hus- d band had committed the burglary referral S( to insisted, by another man, who .had tjpopped dead a short time before her confession b( was made. Immediately after the death of b his wife, Mr. Blink left for parts unknown. 01 * ai After the Flood.?An Indianapolis d' dispatch of the 12th instant says: Th^om- JL mittee in charge of supplies for the suffercrs ^ on the Ohio south of Evansville returned on sv Saturday and reportgreatsufferingand sick- di nearly all the river towns.

It is a significant fact that the disases from blood-poisoning are more prevarnt in winter, when- the unfavorable conitions are most prevalent. I believe it is fact that a great many people are more ncleanly in winter than in summer. In /arm* weather frequent' changes of garments, especially near the skin, and fro- l uent ablutions, are everywhere regarded ' s necessary to respectability. In winter c] here is apparently little perspiration from u he skin, and both bathing and changes of 0< arments are less frequent. Yet it is in a, /inter that people eat most heartily and of si lighly carbonaceous food?not all of which, n close unventilated rooms, is consumed 31 n maintaining animal heat. If we take a w ;arment worn next the .skin in winder for ^ ven a few days by a sedentary person, and >ut it away in an air-tight box for a week, re shall find that however clean it may lave seemed, it is badly in need of washing, f et it is net infrequent for some people to vear garments next to the skin In winter, _ me, or even two or more weeks, without hanging. All the evil odors developed in he cold air-tight box are intensified in the } - -1?'

That there 81 s no sensible perspiration is all the greater e eason for frequent bathing and rubbing of r he skin to keep the pores open. People j| vho work so as to cause profuse perspi ration <; n winter may violate other laws of health? nay even appear to be uncleanly,' and yet uffer less than those who lead a sedentary ife. The violent exercise which causes lerspiration in the coldest weather, not ?nly opens the pores, but so floods them as o. carry off much offensive matter that could otherwise be retained. It is almost r rue that the less hard work done out-of- . loors, the greater the need for frequent |l, hanges of clothing next the skin and thor- s< ?ugh opening of the pores in some way. ll sTo matter how little call a man may have (j o work, he cannot afford for health's sake g o forego so much of exercise at least once , week as will thoroughly open the pores c >f his skin by profuse perspiration. If ii nore attention were paid to these physio- 8' ogical facts, the cases of malignant disease p esulting from blood poisoning would be uuclv less frequent than they are.? Ur. J. in.

S( _ iU Thumb Portraits.?If the "ball," or ushion-like surface of the top joint of-the huint) be examined, it can be seen that in he centre?as, indeed, in the Angers also? s a kind of spiral formed of fine grooves in I he skin. The spiral is, however, rarely, if ver, quite perfect?there are irregularities, ir places where lines run into each other 1 lere and there. Examining both thumbs, B t will be seen that they do not exactly natch; ^but the figure on each thumb is the n ame through life. If thb thumbs of any <1 wo persons are compared, it will further be ? bund that 110 two are alike. There may p >e, and generally is, a "family resemblance" n >etween members of the same family, as in 11 ither features ; there are also nationaJLcJbar- si .cteristlcs ; but the individuals differ; " All (s his is better seen by taking "proof impresions" of the thumb. This is easily done by >re.ssing it on a slab covered with a film of <?; winter's ink, and then pressing it on a piece b ?f white paper ; or a little aniline dye, Inlian ink?almost anything?may be used.

Many hus endowed, however, lack the sustained irce that gives cohesion to character. The utluences withdrawn that called forth the motion, the purpose borne with it begins ~ i flag. These impulsive sympathisers re)ice with the happy and mourn with the id ; they give smile for smile and tear for *nr but the moment vou leave them they irget you, and the object of yoilr joy or of our pain is as nothing to them. For the ime being they are entirely sincere; by- * ocrisy or affectation has not entered into fie tokens of feeling they have shown ; tiey have simply been impelled by the npression of the moment.
