tumorous gcjwtmcat. | NOT IN THE STATUTES. Judge CM of Vermont, was fond of a joke, when it could be "done" without special injury to private or individual rights. On one occasion, as he was traveling toward the southern part of the State, to hold a term of the court in the county of W., he came to a public house where a justice's court was in session. As it was late, and the weather cold and wet, he concluded to put up for the night. Sending his horse to the stable, he eutered the bar-room, which he found crowded with persons who seemed greatly excited about the case on trial. He had thrown off his outer garments, and was composing himself before a gooa old fashioned blazing fire, when a young man came up to him, and, bowing respectfully, asked his assistance in the case. "The evidence," he said, "is all agin . me; but they say yer Honor is death on desperit cases, and mine aint so bad as it might be after all." TTnnn innnirv t.hft inHcrp Iparnpri that his applicant had ?>een arrested for wantonly upsetting a churn of sap in his neighbor's sugar lot. The youngster had been caught in the very act by two respectable witnesses, ana thus the evidence was, as he said, "clear agin him." After hearing all these facts, the judge informed Jiim that it was really a desperate case, but he added: "I will watch the progress of the trial, and if an opportunity presents itself, I will help you." Accordingly he threw open the door leading from his apartment to the room where the trial was going on, and sat a careless spectator of the proceedings. The counsel for the State put in his testi mony, and proved thecharge conclusively. Thereupon the magistrate turned upon the respondent, ana with a stern voice asked if he had "got anything to say to all this ere evidential testimony?" The prisoner was dumb, but looked imploringly toward the judge, who at once arose and approached the table at which the justice was sitting. "You needn't think ye can do any kinder good here, for the mind of this court is ? ?i.. i~ .? ?*Likof uuureiy mauo up auuut uus vuuoaiu, I can tell ye, mister." "May it please your Honor," said the judge, bowing very gracefully, "it is no doubt true that the charge made against the respondent is fully sustained by the testimony. I do not deny it, but for all that he has a defence." "A defence! What is it?" growled the court. "And your Honor, it is this: I profess to knowa little about law, having practiced more than thirty years past, especially the statute laws of Vermont. Now, your Honor, I may be mistaken, but I am confident there is nothing in the statute books of Vermont against upsetting either an emp-. tychurn or a churn full of sap.' I beg of the court not to rely upon my word, but if four Honor is not satisfied upon this point, would recommend an examination of the statutes*" The counsel for the State rose to reply. "Stop! stop!" vociferated the court; "this p'int must be settled before we move another inch." And therupon seizing the statute book and turning to the index, he began searching under the letter C for the word Churn. Not finding it, he next looked under S for "Sap," and continued his search under the title of U for upsetting. Still unsuccessful, he looked under the title "Crimes and Misdemeanors." Finally he rummaged the book from beginning to end, and finding it silent upon the subject of . "upsetting churns" he arose, and addressing the prisoner, said: "Young man, this 'ere court is satisfied that there ain't nothin' in the laws of Ver moot agin tippio over a churn full of sap. There ain't nothin' about churns, anyway?nor sap, nuther. But I want ye should remember on? thing? "'shamet^tS^^ss^many maple trees in the State, and no law agin' tippin' over sap." Whereupon the prisoner was released. A WESTERN* BOOM. Watch i to watch it, Kansas, is one one of the cities of the West that has enjoyed a genuine "boom :" a word which stands for astateofthingsin which prices soar, while people lose their heads, and with them, very often, their money.

During the excitement in Watchitowatchit, when land was selling at fabulous prices, an old farmer drove into the city and hunted up a real estate agent for the purpose of making a trade. "I've got a farm that I want to trade for a city lot," he explained. "My oldest girl wants a taste of city life and the excitement of the great metropolis, as she calls it. I'm satisfied with the farm myself, but the women folks want to live in town." "Very well, sir," says the agent, blandly, "we can suit you. About how high a figure can yon go?" "Well, about a three thousand dollar lot. My farm is worth all of that." "Call around this afternoon," said the agent, "and I will take you out to see some of the finest city lots in Watchitowatchit." Promptly at the time fixed the old man presented himself at the office of the agent, whose team was at the door, a span of horses and a buggy. "Get right in, and we'll ride out to the lots," he said, politely. "How far is it?" asked the farmer, wondering if the city lots were so far apart that two horses and a buggy were necessary to get to them. "Oh, not very far," replied the agent, assuringly. They got in and the agent drove rapidly through the main avenue of the city. The farmer kept glancing at the fine business blocks and wondering when the threethousand-dollar lot would be reached. Soon the avenue began to merge into the prairie road, the houses grew farther apart, until finally they disappeared, and the agent and the farmer were riding through the open prairie, dotted occasionally with farm buildings, and still the agent urged his horses, as if he were anxious to get back to his office before dark. "Well, well," thought the farmer, "this is the great metropolis, is it?" Finally, after driving some ten miles, the agent drew rein beside a piece of unbroken prairie, where just above the grass could De seen rows 01 reci-paimea siaK.es driven in to designate the lines of house lots. The piece covered about five acres. "There!" said the agent, wit-h a grand sweep of his hand, "there is one of the finest city squares in the market. This corner lot here, twenty-five feet front, is quoted at three thousand five hundred dollars, the value of your farm." "Mister," said the agriculturist, slowly getting down out of the buggy, "do you see that farm-house about two miles back on the road we've just come over, toward the city? That is my farm, and I don't know as I want to trade to-day for this lot. I think if I start now I shall get back there about milkin' time. I've got all I want out of this boom!" Wished to be Excused.?A story has been whispered about and laughed about for well on to a week by the people who are in town, that is too good not to be told, says a writer in the Washington Capital. A young lady who "debuted" last season, about a week ago received from New York a box containing two elegant new ball costumes that she will shine in this winter. One of them is very simply made - # i. ~ 1 U..4 ! 4 ~/\ao on ov_ OI wnue uiniunui, uui it gucs iu ?u B?treme of lowness at the neck, according to the story, that I am surprised the girl's sensible mamma permits.

Mamma's admiration was not enough, and so the dear girl sent word to her brother, who is just old enough to have crude ideas of gallantry, to come to her room and see her new dress. She was standing before the mirror admiring her bare arms and shoulders, her back toward the door, when he entered without knocking. As he saw her he said, turning to go out of the door, "Excuse me, sister, I didn't know you were dressing." _ JOT A Texas editor having charged that the lather of a rival editor had been in the penitentiary, was notified that he must retract or die.

I have been told by ladies that they never throw away anything; I have been defied by others to mention anything except dirt which they do not cling to like a rich aunt. Now, to begin, does any housewife ever throw away crusts and old pieces of bread, or does she slip them into the catch-all when no one is looking ? All ye that are liable to be tempted in this way know that crusts, carefully saved, can be made into griddle cakes, puddings, meat dressings, fish cakes, and when dried in the oven and ground up with the rolling pin, they can be used for thickening soups and gravies, or for any purpose for which rolled crackers are used. The pan crusts, carefully kept, will save the measure of meal or crackers, and leave another coin in the purse to be generous with, or to wear away the barriers of narrow means. You have heard of the lady whose cake disappointed her in the very face of company to tea. Did yor also hear that she was mad and threw it away? She did nothing of the kind. Instead, she cut it up in slices, made a delicate little custard, brought out her preserves, and triumphantly placed on the table a very palatable charlotte russe. Another lady, in relating her marital experiences, said her husband objected to having rhubarb sauce brought to the table more than three times in succession ! Of course, she threw it away, and, of course, he twitted her for being wasteful. Oh! if but one had dared to suggest to the unhappy woman that she might have taken ner rhubarb sauce, or any other sauce that chanced to offend by its too great familiarity, and have made of it a nice large tart, with fancy twisted bars across the fop, and thus she would have molified the tyrant man. I wonder if every living housekeeper knows that apple jelly and vinegar can be made from apple parings? Save the pariDgs in the ice chest till a sufficient quantity accumulates, wash, cover with water, and boil gently for an hour. Strain through a jelly-bag, add half the quantity of white sugar, and boil gently for two hours. Flavor with vanilla, and pour into heated glasses. For the vinegar, the parings are put into a jug, a little water added, and they are allowed to ferment in a warm place behind the stove. Do we throw away old clothes before all use is got out of them, and they are rags? Some don't, more do. With the scientiSc housekeeper the shining robe of state descends in regular gradations till its lowly lot is cast in a comfortable mat beneath the feet. With the less industrious and the more immature, who are constantly taking their places in the world, clothes are often thrown into the rag-bag before they are half^worn out. A child's dress gets short in the sleeves, and in it goes! A skirt shrinks and demands piecing out. The demands, like thedemands of an oppressed people, are consigned to oblivion, the oblivion of the rag-bag. Changing fashions condemn many garments to that pit of darkness before their time, and the point of wMnh Hianrntinn iiirlcrpq hpqf, tn takft a ""*V" W.WV-VV.VM JMx,bvw ~~~~ ? ? stand against outside pressures must ever remain an individual matter to decide. While some may overstep the boundary on one side or the other, the woman of reflection will generally do what is best.?[Good Housekeeping. .Hints for Poor Sleepers.?Poor sleepers will find it advantageous often to raise the head of the bed a foot higher than the foot, and then to sleep on a tolerably thick pillow, so a to bring the head a little higher than the shoulders. The object is to make the work of the heart in throwing the blood to the brain harder, so it will not throw so much. A level bed, with the head almost as low as the feet, causes an easy flow of blood to the brain and prevents sleep. Persons who find themselves restless and unable to sleep at night, would do well to place the head of ttr farij imwtlinrip-i m i'1*rnW edly greatly conducive to health. A hot mustard foot-bath, taken at bed time, is beneficial in drawing the blood from the head, and thus inducing sleep. Sponge the entire length of the spine with hot wa * * ? i 1 I r ?^42 ? ter lor ten or nueeo minuies ueiure renring. This often insures a good night's sleep. A hearty meal, and a seat near a warm fire, after a long walk in a cold wind, will induce sleep in the majority of persons, no matter how lightly they ordinarily slumber. Active outdoor exercise, and avoidance of excessive and long continued mental exertion, are necessary iu cases of sleeplessness. Where these means fail, such remidies as are known to diminish the amount of bloood in the head should be resorted to?of course under the direction of a competent physician. Opium, chloral, etc., increase the quantity of blood in the head, and are highly injurious.?[L. H. Washington, M. D. How a Mulch Acts.?The value of a mulch is only partially appreciated by the Americans, and there is a wide field for developments in using mulches of all kinds. We obtained our idea of mulches from the prairies and forests where nature forms her own mulch. The decaying leaves and stems soon form a mass on the surface, which prevents the soil from losing much of its moisture. This leaf molds an accumulation of vegetable matter which acts as a protecting covering for the soil, and it will be found around trees in every forest, and around the roots of wild grasses on every meadow. In imitating nature, as she works in the field and forest, we adopted the artificial mulch around " ' J * 1 4. I L u our iruu trees, unci iouuu tutu it wumcu to their advantage. A mulch, besides retaining the moisture in soil, also secures a more uniform temperature, and adds considerable plant food to it. The nature of the mulch is an important part of the work. Flat stones may be used around trees, forming a permanent mulch, but the action of them is merely mechanical. It retains the moisture and temperature of the soil, but it adds nothing to it. Sawdust is but little better, but straw and new-mown lawn grass form rich mulches that add plant food to the soil.?[Independent. Charcoal for Wounds.?The best of all simple remedies for wounds or cuts, abrasions of the skin, etc., is pulverized charcoal. A large coal taken from the fire will answer the purpose; make fine, apply to the wound, and cover the whole with a rag. The charcoal absorbs the fluids and lays the foundation for the scab, also prevents the rag from irritating the flesh and is an antiseptic. Powdered charcoal will keep meat over which it is sprinkled, also remove taints from flesh. A piece boiled with meat or fowl will make them nice and sweet. Smoked hams may be kept any length of time by packing in powdered charcoal. In cases of gangrene, mortification and cancers, plasters made of charcoal should be used. Croup can be cured in one minute with alum and sugar. Grate or shave a teaspoonful of alum, mix with two of sugar, to give as quickly as possible. Almost instant relief will follow. It is a good plan to keep all simple remedies in the house; we never know the moment we shall need them.?[Dr. J. H. Hanaford. < ^ ? Stable Manure.?Stable manure is a "complete fertilizer" in the sense that expression is generally used; that is, it contains all the elements required for plant nutrition. If there were plenty of stable manure available and convenient, there would be no real necessity for purchasing a single pound of commercial fertilizer, chemicals or anything. Good, well rotted stable manure contains about: Phosphoric acid, 0.5 per cent.; ammonia, 0.6 per cent. Besides the above stable manure contains similarly small percentages - * * J? rtnl?vV?ii?. nhlAfSnn 01 11UJ0, SUU&, null, Suipuui, UIIUI1UV, magnesia, etc., and a large percentage of silica, water and other inert and weighty matters.

The cloth has to soak twenty-four hours, when it is taken out passed through running water and hung up to dry.

Y. tile April Q4 17 47w J THE CORBIN DISK HARROW. ] It is Simple in Constrnction and Does Its Work Thoroughly. 1 It is Heartily Endorsed by Every ' Farmer Who Has Used It. T* HE CO BIN DISK HARROW is the invention of a practical farmer, and is, as now ottered to the farming world, the result lSyears - experience in the manufacture of Agricultural "I . Implements and combines selctions from over I two hundred patent claims. It is superior to ' all other harrows in its lightness of draft, perfect tiexibility, regulating lever for adjusting 3 depth of cut. and case hardened anti-friction J ball bearings, easily oiled and sand proof. 1 i The following are some of the advantages f possessed by the Corbin Harrow over all oth- rr a ers: First, None other has independent gangs, 1 either of which can tit any ridge or hollow with! out disturbing the other. Second, None other ' , has chilled journal boxes; those of the Corbin " i Harrow are so hard that a tile will not scratch 3 : them. Third, Noneother has anti-friction balls j ! in its journal boxes and as a consequence none ( | other has so light a draft. Fourth, Noneother J- r can bo set at so sharp an angle, owing to the ! severe friction on their journal boxes, and as a " I consequence none other will pulverize like the 3 i Corbin. Fifth, None other has a successful , 1 SEEDER ATTACHMENT, making it really 1 ' two machines in one, at less than the cost of one. x | Sixth, None other is so simple is in construe: tion or so durable. Numerous other advan' ' tages possessed by the Corbin Disk Harrow ! could be mentioned, but is unnecessary. 3 The Disk Harrow is endorsed by the followinggenllemen, each of whom is a practical farmer and knows the value of such an implement - on the farm, and speak from experience: Rob't E. Guthrie, Guthriesville, S. C. ; Dr. W. M. Walker, and W. H. Herndon, Yorkville; Felix H. Dover, Grover, N. C.; W. O. Guy, Lowrysville, S. C.; and in fact by farmers all over the United States. ; WHAT IT WILL DO. * The Corbin Disk Harrow ?vill level roufjh f land. Will soften a summer fallow. Will yi break up clods and lumps. Will pay its cost J | by increasing the yield. Will make the best ti< possible seed bed for grain. Will work around ca stumps, in hollows, or on knolls. Will mix n ' rough manure with the soil as no other harrow fr can. Will lift and turn the soil to be fertilized r< 3 by the sun and atmosphere. Will cut weeds, p< corn stalks, cotton stalks, and roots and bury i them at one operation. Will increase the crop to at least twenty per cent, by reason of Its thorough work. Will prepare grain stubble and in corn stubble and cotton stubble lands for sow- ^ ing without using a plow. There is no imple- p, ment in the world adapted to more uses, and 1 none has been more successful in every locality ej where introduced. The Corbin Disk Harrow y is intended tc successfully take the place of the pj Cultivator, Drag, Smoothing Harrow, Spring g, Tooth Harrow, Drill, and on some soils the ra Plow, for it will do all that any, and more b than most, of these tools will do. Used as a w " Seeder it will cover every seed to a uniform ia i depth. Will pay its cost in seeding grain b, f alone, as it covers every seed. Will enable the p< t farmer to seed four times as many acres in a ei r day. It will sow all kinds of grain more evenly U] 3 than can be done by hand. in Two sizes of disks are used. The smallest ? size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 16. w ' The manufacturers make harrows with 12, tt 10, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has rt \ demonstrated the fact that the 13-inch, 12-diak, fo 1 or the 16-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is beet ot l adapted to general farm work. ? IX] By an especial arrangement with the manu- aj 3 facturers of the Cor bin Disk Harrow, we aro g 3 enabled to olfer the farmers of York and surt rounding counties this most valuable imple- p ' ment at unusually low prices?lower than they a, ' have ever before been offered. We make the w following proposition : To any one who will se- tri 3 cure FIFTEEN NEW SUBSCRIBERS at $1.75 t each and pay us $24.50 in addition, we will fur- .. a 13-inch, 12-disk Harrow, or for FIFTEEN NEW SUBSCRIBERS, and $26.50 in cash, we " will furnish a 16-inch, 12-disk Harrow. ^ To persons who do not desire to make a club at r we make this proposition: We will send The ^ , Enquirer for oue year and furnish a 13-inch, w y 12-disk Harrow for $30; or a 16-inch 12 disk for q 932, which amounts include one year s subt scription. T We have several of the 16-inch, 12-Disk Har- q> . rows on hand and can lill orders for this size S, f without delay. Q The otfer made in our prospectus to furnish ^ The Enquirer for the balance of this year and q 1 all of next in Clubs to new subscribers at JjV 5 91.75, also applies to this proposition.
