Caught Them Foul.?Some yeare ago
the pastor of a church in a rural district
of Missouri shepherded a flock, somejraembew
of which were in the habit of leaving
the house whiie he was yet in the middle
of a discourse.' This was an eyesore to
the reverend incumbent, and wnen, one
day, a visiting brother volunteered to
preach for him, hefeltcalled upon to speak
of the annoyance. /
"Oh, I'll stop that!" was tWe reply, i
"I'll warrant you that no one leases until

to speak he introduced his sermon with
the following i T.
"My friends, before I begii/my sermon
I .wish to make a few not irrelevant remarks.
You all know that I vessel when
fall is fall, and to continue/to pour into it
is folly. Some vessels are/apable of holding
a great deal, while /thers, again are
easily filled. So it is wdth men's heads,
and it is possible that some of yours may
become full before I'rar through. If so, I
want you to feel ar perfect liberty to
leave." /
The sermon lasted an hour and a quarter,
but not a mortal stirred!;
"Do you knowf" said a young man afterward,
"I had/a team of restless young
horses outside; but I wouldn't have gone
out to look after them for $100!"?Detroit

It Does Not Always Work.?Here
are two stories bf Maine sheriffs. The
first was a little Aroostook man, and one
day he ^pen# with a warrant to arrest a certain
farmer. He found him/in the field
andmade known his errand./" All right,"
said the farmer, a big buriy fellow, "I'm

me to carry you, d/ you ?" asked the
sheriff. "Certainly; you must take my ,
body, you know." "Will you wait till I ,
get a team ?" "CanJl say," and the up- ,
shot was that the sheriff went back with- ,
out his prisoner. The other sheriff was a
Franklin countyinan, likewise small, but
plucky. He wapsent to arrest a notorious
offender, a 20(knounder, and found him on
the hillside. yGrinning at the officer he
lay back on Ine grass, saying, "If you get
me you'll have to take me." Quick as a
wink the soerlff grabbed the fellow by his
feet and^tarted down hill with him as
fast as hefcould go; and the bumping the
big man got soon shook all the fun out of
him and he begged to be gllowed to walk

A q/ood Bondsman.?A man was arrested,
and arraigned at the police court, and
retired to give bonds for a further hearing*
brought in a citizen who said he was
perfectly willing to go on the bond.
"Own any real estate ?" asked his honor.
"No, sir."
"Got any money to deposit?"
"No, sir."
"Then how do you expect to go bail for ,
him
"Why, he's my brother-in-law and a !
mighty good fellow."
1?- A five-year-old who had been to
Sunday-school for the first time came home (
puffed up with importance over what he
had learned. "Mamma," said he, "do
you know about Lot's wife ?" "A little,"
she said; "but tell me what you know."
So the little fellow told his story very
earnestly, becoming positively dramatic ,
when he reached the climax, and said, ]
"And tfte Angel 01 ine -uoru sum uuiu
Lot's wife, Skate for your life and don't
you look back; bat she did look back, and
turned a somer-sault."

"Well, what are you going to do?"
"I shall send in my resignation at once."
f&~A small boy is rather slow in committing
pray ars to memory and requires a
good deal of prompting. The other night
he began his prayer in his regular way,
"Now?I?lay?me" and there he stuck

Whereupon Johi.ny set off again

SOWING PEAS. , If
the farmers of the South would universally
adopt the plan of planting or sowing
peas between the rows of corn a valuable
subsidiary crop would result and the
fertility of the soil be better maintained
by the protection afforded by the vines
from injurious evaporation and washing,
and by the vegetable matter thus restored
for the amelioration of the physical condition
of the soil and amendment of the supply
of plant food available for succeeding
crops.
If the rows are four or more feet apart,
upon comparatively thin, land, the best
plan is to plant a row of peas at the second
plowing' between the rows. The third
plowing will then cultivate both peas and
com. If a running variety of peas is thus
planted the vines will completely cover
the ground before frost, and produce from
four to eiirht bushels of peas per acre.
These may either be gathered and stored
for winter feeding or may be pastured by
stock in the fall. In the latter case they
will be the means of carrying the stock
into winter quarters in fine condition if
they are eaten by store stock, or those intended
for slaughter may be fattened upon
them.
Some prefer to drop the peas either by
the side of the corn at the second plowing
or between the hills in the row. If the
rows are sufficiently wide (and they should
be upon thin uplands) it is best to plant
between the rows.
If the land is reasonably fertile the peas
may be sown broadcast before the plows
at the second plowing?one bushel per
acre. In this case no farther cultivation
of the corn will be necessary, since the
peas wilt shade ont other vegetation except,
perhaps, chicken corn.
Since the corn roots occupy the land
quite fully before the peas come up, they
do not make rapid growth until the corn
approximates maturity, when they develop
rapidly and soon occupy the ground.
As we cultivate, the crop of peas costs
nothing except one furrow in- which to
plant them -and the seed. In advance of
the scraper we open a shallow furtow in
the centres between the rows, drop the
seed and cover with the scraper in cultivating
the corn. Try a part of your corn
crop, in peas^nd note the benefit to the
ground as shown in the crop which follows.
Montgomery (Ala.) Acherttser:
The Value of Clover and how to
Produce It.?My limited experience in
clover errowine will hardly justify me in
venturing an article on its "culture. However,
as many differ as the time for seeding
clover, perhaps I would not be risking
too much to give ray experience in that
line. My first seeding of clover when I
began-its culture was on the l&b and 15th
days of February ,"1872. From this'seeding
I obtained a splendid stand and it did
well. But for the next three consecutive
seeding seasons I sowed 3} bushels of seed
on same date of month as first seeding and
got & good stand only to be killed out by
a cold snap and freeze such as we are now
having or by drought during spring, causing
the little plant to perish for want of
moisture. This utter failure for some time
caused me to be discoufaged, and to ray
3orrow now, I. stopped the sowing of
clover until the 10th day of October, 1883.
[ sowed 1$ bushels of seed and got a good
3tand, which was partly killed out by the
freezes of that winter; and for the last
three years I have been sowing my elover
from the first to the tenth of April and harrowing
it in with a light two-horse harrow,
the teeth set sloping back so as to prevent
the dragging up of trash or dragging down
if the wheat, as you will understand this
seeding has ail been among my wheat and
[ have yet to fail to get a stand at this
late of seeding. Some may think that
sowing it in wheat at so late a date would
injure the wheat, but I have never yet seen
that it injured mine. You ask us the value
if clover and how to produce it. I give
is my opinion that most of land that will
jrow wheat will grow clover and you
iave only to put in properly from ten to
twelve pounds of seed per acre to obtain a
rood stand. Land seeded to clover should
lot be turned for one or two years for the
growing of other crops; and as to the value
>f clover I hardly know how to estimate it.
t think us a feed for stock it excels that of
:he oat and very nearly equals that of the
iorn crop, and as to its value as a fertilizer
ind renovator of the soil it has no equal
jxcept that of good stable manure.?I. R.
in Lincoln Journal.
The Honey Bee in History.?It was
osti mated over 300 years ago by DeMontbrt,
who then wrote a work on bees in
French, that between 500 and 600 authors
had preceded him on the subject of beekeeping.
Most of these books were written
in Latin and are lost to the world,
very few having been handed down to us.
From remote antiquity the practice has
prevailed in Egyptof collecting great numbers
of hives in vessels on the Nile, and
transporting them from pasture to pasture
iccoraing to the succession of flowers in
the different districts. A somewhat similar
practice prevails on the Rhone iu
France, and the conveying of bees fr6m
place to place has been usual in Greece,
Asia Minor and Persia from the earliest
late.
Strange to say, it is claimed that the
honey-bee was not a native of the western
continent. We are told that without
ioubt, there were no honey-bees here
until introduced by the Caucasian race.
This seems the more strange, as it is said
that all the continents and islands of the
eastern hemisphere abound with them,
[t is one more illustration of the inextriiable
puzzles connected with the geographical
distribution of animals. Mt. Hybla,
in Sicily, on account of its great variety of
odoriferous flowers and abundance of
honey, has been poetically called the empire
of bees, and Hymettus in Attica, is
in the same way famous. The German,
black or brown bee, is the variety best
known, as through all the ages it has beeu
most widely distributed. We find, howover,
that the Italians were known both to
Aristotle and Virgil, who sang of the variegated,
golden bee.?Farm, Field and
Stockman.
Origin of the Strawberry.?Our
common strawberry is one of the most
widely diffused plants, partly owing to the
small size of its seeds, which birds, attracted
by the fleshy part in which they
ire found, carry to great distances. It
ijrows wild in Europe from Lapland and
the Shetland Isles to the mountain ranges
Df the south; in Maderia, Spain, Sicily and
Greece; in Asia from Armenia and the
north of Syria to Daburia. It is wild in
the United States, in Iceland, in Mexico
and around Quito, South America. Its
habitat extends around the North Pole in
temperate climes except in eastern Siberia.
The Greeks and Romans did not cultivate
this berry, and no one did until the fifteenth,
or sixteenth century in Europe.
The variety known as Virginia strawberry
is indigenous in Canada and the
Eastern States of this country, and is the
30urce of some of the best cultivated varieties,
in its crosses with the Chili berry,
rhe Virginian berry was introduced into
the English gardens in 1029. The Chili
strawberry was brought into France in
1715, and after cultivation in the Museum
of Natural History, it spread to England
and elsewhere.?Good Housekeeping.
In June grass is more nutritious and
usually more flush than later in the season.
July and August are the most trying
months, especially if the weather is sultry
and dry. The milk gets scanty and bad,
and some farmers wonder what is the matter
with the cows. In such cases the water
usually becomes unwholesome, shade
trees are lacking in the pasture, and the
cows are compelled to take too much exercise
by continually roaming in search of
errass.
Sheep Raising.?In 1881, Mr. T. l.
Johnston bought four sheep for six dollars.
He now has twenty sheep valued at forty
dollars, and has sold one hundred and forty-four
dollars' worth of wool and mutton.
This does not include the sales for this
year. Mr. Johnston estimates that his
sheep have cost him nothing, the fertilizers
obtained from them equalizing the
cost of their maintenance. This beats
cotton.? Winnsboro News and Herald.

BLAINE AGAIN DECLINES.
The New York Tribune of last Thursday
published the following letter from Mr.
Blaine, dated Paris, May 17:
"Whitelaw Reed, Editor New York Tribune?My
Dear Sir: Since, ray return to
Paris from Southern Italy, on the 8th instant,
I have learned (what I did not before
believe) that my name may yet be
presented to the National Convention as a
candidate for the Presidential nomination
of the Republican party. A single phrase
of my letter of January 25, from Florence,
(which was decisive of everything I had
nnrnfl. tn H fifM H Cl\ hoQ hPPfl
me puiouuai pvnci iv v*w?uv/ <?v?u
treated by many of ray most valued friends
as not absolutely conclusive in ultimate
and possible contingencies. On the other
hand, friends equally devoted and disinterested,
have construed my letter (as it
should be construed) to be an unconditional
withholding of my name from the National
Convention. They have, in consequence,
given their support to eminent
gentlemen who are candidates for the Chicago
nomination, some of whom would
not, I am sure, have consented to assume
that position if I had desired to represent
the party in the Presidential contest of
1888. If I should now, by speech or by silence,
by commission or omission, permit
my name in any event to come before the
Convention, I should incur the reproach of
being uncandid with those who have always
been candid with me. I speak,
therefore, because I am not willing to remain
in a doubtful attitude. I am not
willing to be the cause of misleading a
single man among the million who have
given me their suffrages and their confidence.
I am not willing that even one of
my faithful supporters in the past should
think me capable of faltering in a double
sense with my word. Assuming that the
Presidential nomination could, by any
possible chance, be offered to me, I could
not accept it without leaving on the minds
of thousands of those men the impression
that I had not been from indirection;
therefore I could not accept it at all. The
misrepresentations of malice have no
weight, but the just displeasure of friends
I could not patiently endure. Republican
victory, the prospects of which grow
Drignter every aay, can De imperueu. umy
by alack of unity in council or by acrimonious
contest over men. The issue of protection
is incalculably stronger and greater
than any man, for it'concerns the prosperity
of the present and of generations
yet to come. Were it possible for every
voter of the Republic to see for himself
the condition and recompense of labor in
Europe, the party of free trade in the United
States would not receive the support of
one wage worker between the two oceans.
It may not be directly in our power as
philanthropists to elevate the European
laborer, but it will be a lasting stigma
upon our statesmanship if we permit the
American laborer to be forced down to the
Europeal level, and in the end the reward
of labor everywhere will be advanced, if
we steadily refuse to lower the standard
at home. Yours very sincerely,
James Gr. Blaine.
Simultaneous with the appearance of
this letter in the Cincinnati Gazette, is the
following dispatch from Mr. Reid, in answer
to the question, "\Vould Blaine accept
the nomination ?"
"That's too hard a question. I can tell
you this, he certainly would not accept
a nominatiqathftt was fought for. It nju^t
come spontaheodsiy, unsought-and unanimous,
or I am sure he would not take it.
He does not want it. He might not take
it under any circumstances. He certainly
would not take it unless the overwhelming
desire for his candidacy should be so
manifest that be was no.minated without
opposition in the convention or heart
burnings among friends of other candidates."
(.
"This remark," says the Gazette editorially,
"coming from one so close to Mr.
Blaine as Mr. Reid^is of unusual significance."
1
HIS EYES ARE OPENED.
T. Thomas Fortune, who is recognized
as one of the foremost and best representatives
of the colored people in America,
and is well-known as the editor of the
Freeman, of New York, has written a letter
on "Colored voters and Democracy,"
which is published in the New York Su.nt
and i9 calculated to attract attention just
at this time. The conclusion of the letter
shows it general drift and is as follows:
"The Republican leaders have admitted
time and again within the past decade
that there is no power in the Federal Government
to correct the conceded irregularities
of the suffrage in the South, each
State being sovereign in shaping its internal
policy. Now, this is the 9traw that
breaks the camel's back, as far as intelligent
colored voters are concerned.
If there is no authority in the Constitution
to enable the Republican party to correct
the irregularities of the suffrage in the
South, and I don't think there is, what
special argument can be advanced to induce
colored men to support that party
that will not equally apply to Irish, German,
or other classes of voters? Perhaps
Mr. Ingalls has an answer ready, or Mr.
Whitelaw lteid or Mr. Charles Emory
Smith.
If the question of race rights be taken
out of the Republican platform ; or, if it
remain there as a glittering generality,
why should I or any other intelligent colored
citizen continue to hurrah for the
Republican party and vote for its candidates?
If the questions of the tariff, of
surplus reduction, and reform of the civil
service are to be the leading issues of the
impending contest, why should not I and
other intelligent colored voters cooperate
with the Democratic party, if its attitude
upon these questions more nearly conforms
to our honest convictions than the attitude
of the Republican party? This is the
reductio ad absurdum of the whole matter.
That government is best which governs
least, which is not a leading principle of
Republican party policy.
I don't think, furthermore, that the
Republican party is big enough to hold all
the colored voters in the country, any more
than is the Democratic party. During the
past eight years I have sustained this position
as an editor, lecturer and journalist
of fortune. I am convinced that a respectable
number of intelligent colored men
can effect more good inside the Democrat
ic party than has been effected by millions
of them inside the Republican party since
1876, pulling chestnuts out of the fire for
politicians to stimulate an interest they
do not feel, and I am going to put the
matter to the test. I am not alone in the
position I now take. There are plenty of
us who are gratified at the patriotic policy
of President Cleveland and the Democrats
in Congress since 1884 in matters affecting
colored citizens, and who will do all we
can to elect the nominees of the St. Louis
Convention, whoever they be."
. The Prohibition Convention.?It is
right and proper for a self-constituted convention,
mostly from Columbia, to meet
at anytime and pass any sort of resolutions
they please; that is to say there is no law
against it. Next week the Republican
party might call a similar convention, and
the women might also meet. But for forty
men, a great portion of them from Columbia,
to call themselves together and
pretend to be a representative body for
the whole State and then seriously to go
to work and dictate a policy for the temperance
people of the State would really
seem a little presumptuous. Then when
they rule out from this great moral reform
all women, negroes, white Republicans
and young men under twenty-one years
old, their action savors of a degree of ab- |
surdity that is well pleasing to those who |
oppose temperance. If the whisky men
of Columbia had been requested to draw up
a nlnt.fnrm for thntnrnhihitinn convention
they couid not have possibly constructed
one that would have better promoted the
whisky interest. It is well known that
political parties have no use for temperance
except as a means of catching votes.
Why this self-appointed convention should
have thrown itself into the arms of a political
party is inconceivable. What they
expect to accomplish is beyond the comprehension
of temperance people, politicians
or whisky men in this country. We
have failed to find a single advocate of
temperance who endorses the action of
that convention and speaking for them,
we enter a protest agaiDst the whole affair.
