Humorous Jlcprt incut. HE WAS SMART. "You wouldn't take me for a very sharp fellow, would you?" asked an old man who lives in a "boomed" district of Tennessee. Several men were sitting on the platform at a railway station, waiting for a train. The old fellow had come with pies, made of dried peaches, and had offered in vain to sell out for ten cents. No," answered one of the men, "I'd not take you to be very sharp." "Well' I'll just tell you how sharp I was. Two or three weeks ago, atter the - J? -x /i i: ce T I Doom hoc ID over yanuer at v^aruiii, ? uuticed one mora in' that a lot of fellers was pokin' round in my field. I went over an' found that they had a lot of chains an' three legged things, an' was taking sight at nothing in particular. But I soon seed that they must 'a' had somethin' particular in view, fur they didn't want to tell me what the'r business was, an' finally they worried me so with draggin' ofchains an' takin' of sight that I told them that if they didn't move on away I would set the dogs on them. That brought them to time, an' one of them draw'd me to one side an' asked me what I would take for that field. Wall, I didn't know. It was a putty fa'r piece of land an' I wa'n'titchin' to sell it, still I mout be dragged into partin' with it. They didn't seem very anxious about the price?all they 'peared to want to kno w was if they could git the land. Finally I told them that they mout have it for one thousand dollars, a putty high mark, I can tell you; but they bit like a trout. They paid me the money an' I went home about as happy a man as thar was in the county. Wall, the next day, what did I diskiver ? Them fellers begun to lay the land off in town lots an' then my wife hopped on me. She 'lowed that I never did have no sense nohow, an' swore that them fellers would build a town right thar under our very noses an' sell the lots for big money an' that we would have to set thar with our little thousand dollars an' see a city with great blocks of buildings grow up. I seed the point, an' the next day I got a feller to slip around an' buy up the lots. I borrea all the money I could an' wife she borred all she could, an' after investin' nearly four thousand dollars we were masters of the situation. We had hearn of Ka nam rnilrnnrl t.hftt WftS COmin' in an' we waited an' waited, but it didn't come; so alter while, seein' that the men had stopped takin' sight an' draggin' thar chains, I went around to investigate an' lo and behold the fellers had dun left the neighborhood. I have sense learned that they have played that trick in several places an' that they never did build no town. They put the job mighty nice an' the feller that was so sharp in buyin' back the land for me was one of the raskils himself. Now, my wife 'lows that I am the biggest fool in the world an' has gone to town to git a divorce from me, an' here I am tryin' to sell pies fur a livin'." RUINED THE PROSPECT. "What is the matter here?" demanded a white man, who, turning from the roadside, confronted an old negro who appeared to be dragging his wife, with great violence, through the woods. "Jes' ride on, sah, an' 'ten' ter yo' own bizness, efyou please," the negro replied. "Fur goodness sake save me, sah ?" the woman pleaded. "Holdon!" demanded the white man. "What are you going to do with that woman ?" "Dis yere lady am my wife, sah, an?" "I didn't ask you who she is; I asked what are you going to do with her?" "Gwine do ae only thing dat's leP to be done under de sarcumstances, sah." "What's that?" " We'se erwino down here to the bluff an' jump off." "What for?" "W'y, sah, I owes er man fi' dollars an' he swears dat he gwine ter kill bof o' us ef I doan pay it ter day, an' ez dar ain't no arthly chance fur me ter pay it an' ez I knows dat man well enough ter know dat he gwine keep his word w'y I has come ter de 'elusion dat de bes' thing lef' fur us is ter kill ourse'fs an' bo done wid de strife o' de flesh, sah." "But your wife doesn't want to die." "I reckon atter all it is fur de bes', mister," said the woman. "I hil' back jes' now, but I won't hoi' back no mo'. Come on, Dave, an' we'll jump right squar offen de bluff, an' den w'en dat man comes roun' ter kill us, jes' becaze we ain't perpared ter pay him, his heart, ef he got one, gwine smite him hip an' thigh ; an' w'en he lift eyes up in de torment an' see us w'arin' do crown he gwine beg us mightlv fur jes' one sup outen de gou'd dat's filled wid de cool, cl'ar water o' de 'ternal life, an' den we hatter tell him dat de heabenly laws doan 'low us to 'sociate wid his kind an' sort. Come on, Dave." "Hold on, there. I'll give you five dollars rather than to have you kill yourselves." "Wait a minute! exclaimed another white man, suddenly making his appearance. "I have been watching this performance." "What right you got ter spy round yere?" the negro asked. "Well, I heard an old man say that he gave you five dollars yesterday to keep you from jumping off the bluff." "Dar it go, dar it go," said the old negro, striking the ground with his hat.

NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY. Some ten or twelve years ago an incident happened at Gibraltar which illustrates the practical views of a certain class of people. A subaltern named O'Donohue was the officer of the guard at the Elphinstone Guard. At this point of the world-known rock there is a sheer drop of over one thousand feet. A lieutenant, who had taken too much champagne at a mess dinner, walked over the rock, and undoubtedly was dead before he reached the rocks far below. When the officer of the guard upon being relieved made out his report of his guard, he made no mention of the fact. Indeed, when he came to fill in his report and reach the question, "Has anything extraordinary happened while you were officer of the guard ?" he wrote in the blank space reserved for the answer, "Nothing." Of course he was summoned before Lord Napier of Magdala, the governor of Gibraltar. When he appeared, Lord Napier asked: "You were the officer of the guard at Elphinstone Guard yesterday?" "I was, sir." "And this is your report?" "It is, sir." "Lieutenant M. was killed by walking over the rock?" "He was, sir." "You knew that when you made out your report?" "I did, sir." "That he was killed ?" "Yes, sir." "And yet you Raid in your report that nothing extraordinary had happened on your guard?" "I did, sir." "Well, Mr. O'Donohue," said Lord Napier, sternly, "don't you think it is extraordinary when a lieutenant walks over the rock, falls ono thousand feet and is killed ?? "Indeed, sir," was the prompt reply, "I should think it was extraordinary if he had fallen that far and had not been killed." An Unexpected Reply.?J. F. Berry, secretary of the Detroit conference, told the following story on himself at the conference held recently at Greenville, Michigan : "When I was first introduced to a Sunday-school, the superintendent asked the children to guess what kind of a berry : I was. A little boy in front jumped up and squeaked out 'Strawberry.' He asked j them to guess again. A little girl said, 'Huckleberry.' Whereupon an old driedup woman with a poke-bonnet on and an umbrella in her hand straightened up, and in a crack voice, said, 'From what I have seen of ye, I think you're a gooseberry ; and from all appearances 'twill be a long time before you're ripe.'"

WHAT CONSTITUTES A POOR FARMER. Written for the Yorkville Enquirer. The poor farmer?and alas! his name is legion. With him farming does not pay! He is theoretical rather than practical. He takes an agricultural paper and reads it?often when he ought to bo at work. He is apt to accept whatever is visionary and nonsensical, and reject whatever is sensible and practical. He is ever ready to quote Professor So-and-So, in support of his theories, who is perhaps some cranky dude, with soft hands and a softer head, who sits back in the shade and presumes to instruct people how to farm, though practically he doesn't know Iudian corn from German millet, or the cotton plant from a sun-flower. The poor farmer lays great plans for the future, but as they are composed chiefly of gas, they usually explode without results. The poor farmer employs poor hands because they can be hired cheaper; half feeds them, misdirects them, sends them off to work by themselves, "cusses" them, and pays them with orders. The poor farmer doesn't add to the natural accumulation of manure about the place, nor does he properly utilize what he has on hand. He prefers commercial fertilizers because they go further and are much easier distributed. The poor farmer keeps only the poorest of farming implements, poor plowstocks, riCKOiy narrows, wuru-uut noes, wou-wuiu dull plows, &c. And this he calls economy. He shelters his implements beneath the broad canopy of heaven, exposed to the wind, sunshine and rain. He reads his agricultural paper late at night and sleeps late next morning, and quotes hygienic authority for so doing. The poor farmer trusts a negro to feed his stock on his lien-bought corn. The consequence is that while his mules daily become leaner and weaker, Sambo's old razor-back in an adjacent pen rapidly develops into a corpulent swine of large proportions. You can always tell the poor farmer by his team, as with head hanging down aud tail pendent, with shoulders raw and back lacerated, with a look of dumb despair in their eyes pitiful to see, they drag along hoping for their deliverer?death. The poor farmer allows his orchard to go down because truit hasn't hit of late years. He has no vineyard because as a temperate man he doesn't wish to place temptation in the way of himself or his friends by making wine. The poor farmer's "meat-house" is a misnomer?a contradiction in terms. His corn crib is remarkable for vacuity, while his barn is often "as empty as the whistling wind." The poor farmer don't believe in clover because "it makes his mules slobber." The poor farmer "hates to go to town ;" but goes often, nevertheless, and stays late, for he is sure to meet up with several kindred spirits, drawn together by some natural law of affinity, and each labors long and hard to convince the others of his superior agricultural wisdom. The poor farmer is generally an enthusiastic politician and eagerly engages the candidate in prolonged debate. The poor farmer is moreover a chronic grumbler. With him the thermometer is never right. It is either too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry, too early or too late. Another peculiarity about the poor farmer is that his dormant conscience usually wakes up at the most inopportune time. For instance, after an all night's ram ana me grouna is entirely too wei iu work, he gets up much earlier than usual, bustles around with alacrity and declares his determination to do an uncommon big day's work. At such a time he makes frantic efforts to delude himself and his neighbors into the belief that he is not lazy; but on the contrary a very energetic man. Of course he discovers with surprise (?) that his ground is "rather wet," but tells his hands to go ahead, while ho mounts hissuperanuated sore-backed mongrel quadruped and hurries off to town, where he is sure to meet others who have had a similar experience, and th^ spend the day exchanging theories. * Another peculiarity about the poor farmer is his oft-repeated stories of the wonderful feats which he used to perform; the fine stock which he used to own, the big crops he used to mako "when he was young," &c. The poor farmer is always ahead of everybody else till gathering time, when, alas! he falls suddenly behind. Ho readily accounts for this, however, by reference to his endless stock of excuses: 11 J/ it hadn't been so wet," "if it hadn't been so dry," "if it hadn't been for the hail," "if my cows hadn't broken out and eaten up my corn, although I had repaired my pasture fence with brush." The poor farmer sells his cotton seed, and argues that "if everybody were so selfish as to refuse to sell their cotton feeed, what would become of one of our most valuable southern industries, the oil mills?" The poor farmer says he can't use the harrow, because his ground is so rocky ; and he says it is no use to attempt to remove the rocks, for it is like killing flies; "you never miss them." The poor farmer, no matter what his theories may be, neither uses ditches nor terraces, probably because he concludes that the Creator made the hollows for the water to run in, and any attempt to check it in its natural course, would be presun ptuous andwrong. The poor farmer says he can't raise hogs "since the passage of the stock law." Pie keeps, however, from two to five animals of the canine tribe, in order to keep his neighbors' sheep from overrunning the country. Finally, when the poor man "shuffles off this mortal coil," and his voluble tongue fails to do its office, his numerous creditors gather eagerly around only to perceive their ridiculous mistake, and slip away disgusted and chagrined at themselves, for being such fools as to expect anything from the estate of a man who, for many years, has been living off of the interest of rohot ho nwoH To tho niMnro nvorrlranrn 9 Is it not only too true ?

JJ6T It is not generally known how easy a matter it is to explore the bottom of a well or a cistern or pond of water by the use of a common mirror. When the sun is shining brightly hold a mirror so that the reflected rays of light will fall into the water. A bright spot will be seen at the bottom, so light as to show the smallest object plainly. By this means may be examined the bottom of wells fifty feet deep, when half full, or more, of water. The smallest straw or other object can be perfectly seen from the surface. In the same way one can examine the bottoms of ponds and rivers, if the water be somewhat agitated by winds or rapid motion. If the well or cistern bo under cover, or shaded by a building so that the sunlight-will not fall near the opening, it is only necessary to employ two mirrors, using one to reflect the light to the opening, and another to reflect it down into the water. Light may be thrown fifty or one hundred yards to the preciso spot desirable, and then downward. Good Points of a Horse.?Plenty of breadth and fulness between the eyes. A short, straight back and a straight, rump. The eye should be full, and in color a hazel is good. A small thin ear well thrown forward, and a straight elegant face. A square muzzle, with large nostrils to let in plenty of air to the lungs. The withers should bo high and the shoulders well set back and broad, but not too deep in the chest. For the under side of the head a good horse should be well cut under the jowl, with jawbones broad and wide apart unthe muzzles. The foreleg should be short. A pretty straight hind leg with tho hock low down, the pastern joint of good length and a medium broad foot.?[Fort Worth Gazette. 1ST In medicine the shell of the egg is used as an antacid, being better adapted to the stomach than chalk.

Miscellaneous SAM RANDALL S SUCCESSOR. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republic, writing of Richard Vaux, who recently qualified as the successor in congress of the late Samuel Randall, of Pennsylvania, says: He is a gentleman of the old school. His copious hair hangs in magnificent ringlets over his coat collar, and his patent leather pumps, inclosed with broad silk ribbons, make him picturesque from begining to end. Contrary to expectation he was not dressed in a swallow-tail and brassbuttons. He wore the old-fashioned, double-breasted broadcloth, older than the Prince Albert style, but in much the same order ofarchitecture. His desk was magnificent in floral decoration. Vaux is a big man among the Philadelphians, and they took pains that his entranco to the house of representatives should be properly heralded. The floral designs on his desk would be sufficient to attract attention to him under any circumstances, but his own appearance added to the flowers made a furor. He was the observed of all observers. His courtly grace and bearing would be observed even in a drawing room, let alone in the house of renresen tatives. He was escorted into the chamber of the house some minutes before its convening by the now father of the house, Charles O'Neill, of Philadelphia. Mr. O'Neill first presented Mr. Vaux to Mr. Mills, of Texas, the Democratic leader. By Mills and O'Neill jointly he was then introduced to nearly all the prominent Democrats, and to many of the leading Republicans also. He affirmed instead of swearing. When he was pronounced a member of the house by the speaker the Democrats received him with a splendid burst of applause that lit up the old gentleman's face pleasantly. Vaux, from all accounts, is a peculiar character. He never uses an umbrella, he never rides in a street car, he never rides in a steamboat, he never wears an overcoat. He wears black broadcloth summer and winter, the coat always open. He wears patent leather shoes all the year round, snow or sunshine. He never wears a stocking more than one day. His stockings are never washed. They are discarded after one day's wear. Every morning he pulls over his graceful feet new silk hose, and when he retires at night they are discarded. Everybody In the country seemed to know that he danced with Queen Victoria. A good many people, however, are not aware that the affair between him and the queen of Great Britain was something more serious than a dancing bout. When Queen Victoria was a virgin queen and a young girl, soon after her coronation, Richard Vaux was an attacheeof the American legation at London." The young American fell desperately in love with the queen, and the young queen fell desperately in love with the American. It was a case almost of love at first sight. It became so violent that the statesmen and diplomats who had charge of the young queen requested the immediate recall of Vaux by his government, and accordingly ho was recalled. During the queen's jubilee a couple of vears ago. Vaux received a special invita tion to visit London. He prepared to go, but discovered that there were no longer any sailing vessels on the ocean, and he declined to ride on a steamship. The bosom of his shirt and his cuffs are ruflled with the finest laces. There are rings on all his fingers. His necktie is the large old-fashioned black single knot, and his vest of course is cut low, showing a magnificent expanse of shirt front. He is by long odds the most picturesque man in congress, and no person will enter the galleries while he is a member that will not ask who he is. But he is a thorough Democrat; notwithstanding his eccentric appearance. He is a tariff reformer from the word go, in perfect accord with Mr. Mills and Mr. Carlisle. Ho can out-cuss any man in Pennsylvania, when it becomes necessary, and there is no man in Philadelphia who can beat him drinking fine old sour mash whisky. There is no member in the house more interested in Mr. Vaux than Col. Hatch, of Missouri. The Missourian viewed his new Democratic colleague from Pennsylvania with mingled interest and pleasure. After he had mado a complete observation he sent the following note to the Republic correspondent, which it is safe to say safely expresses Col. Hatch's opinion : "I nave just seen him for the first time. After looking at the floral display, I think his friends are lacking in a nice sense of the appropriate. They should have selpntpd n nentnrv nlant in full bloom." CORRUPTION IN MAINE. It might be inferred from Speaker Reed's ardent advocacy of the proposed Federal election law, as a means of securing fair elections in the South, that his own district up in Maine is an exemplar of all that is noble and pure in election methods. His virtuous denunciations of alleged political vices imply that he is a patriot far too honorable to accept a seat in congress bought with bribes. The public would wish to believe that the speaker of the house honestly represents the first congressional district of Maine, but a correspondent of the New York Times writing from Biddeford, Me., states that Mr. Reed's district is thoroughly rotten politically, and submits detailed evidence to show that his election in 1888 was bought with national bank notes and greenbacks. The information published by the Times is that of a witness who sets forth that he visited the polls at a town near jpuiaeiuru m uie yem uaiucu and saw the vile traffic in voteB proceeding openly without attempt at conceal- i meut. The voting was with open ballots. If a folded ballot was offered the judge of election required it to be opened before being deposited in the ballot-box. There were with the judge of elections?whom ( the Maine law terms the "moderator"?a j Democratic town clerk, who kept a list of the names ofsuch as voted the Democratic i ticket, and a non-official person who kept a similar list of those who voted the Ilepublican ticket. The "worker" bargained with the voters openly. Early in the day $5 was paid for a single vote, but later the price rose to $21, and in one case to $2<>. The last mentioned price was due to the accident of a sort of auction having been initiated at the polling place between the llepublican and Democratic workers over an old man who gave his vote to the highest bidder. In the excitement of the contest a price was touched which the distributors of boodle refused to recognize as fixing the market price. The Times correspondent states that he saw and heard the bargaining between the llepublican worker and an old farmer, who had his own and his two sons' votes to sell. He also saw the man vote as directed, and then saw him paid his $(5:h There were many more instances of the same sort. The money was not paid over till the worker had examined the tickets in the custody of the moderator and found them satisfactory. A striking feature of the pro- < ceeding wasits publicity and the readiness > of tho election officials to give the workers facilities for findingout whether the voters , voted as they had promised to do. Some times they tried to vote their sentiments and get paid, too, but the good understanding all around usually prevented that. About 20 per cent, of the voters of the town were for sale. That was the estimate of both parties. The average price per vote was about SlG.yO. The practice of buying votes originated, it appears, with the Republican managers in war times, when it was felt to be justifiable as a "war measure." it had been taken up later by the Democrats, though with little success, as they had less money than their oppo- ! nents. So fully was the local conscience debauched by the long continuance of the practice of bribery that men of character in Maine argued in its defence. "I would not let the country go to pot," said one of Mr. lteed's supporters, "if I could save it by giving a man a barrel of flour or a ten dollar bill to vote tho right way. We ask nobody to violate his conscience ; the fellows wo buy haven't any more conscience than so inany.crows." In reference to a particular voter it was explained that "he didn't have any convictions of his own, while I had the strongest kind." In Maine it appears, in fact, to be a thoroughly settled principle of conduct that in politics the end justifies the means. In that State the result of an election may without wrong be changed by the use of money, but in the South it is different. It is different for the reason that there the end is bad, which is proof that the means are bad. Democrats, are elected to congress in the South, not Republicans. So immoral a results is conclusive evidence, to the speaker's tender Inter-State conscience, that the means used to secure it are immoral. He would, perhaps, think better of Southern elections if more money were spent on them. That would accord with the exalted practice in his own district. Rut no Southern election can possibly, in Speaker Reed's view, be hon est and fair unless it shows a Republican majority in every district where, accord- , ing to the census, the negroes outnumber the whites. A TALK WITH GENERAL LUNGSTREET. From the St. I.nuli) Republic. Gen. James Longstreet, the famous exConfederate soldier, is in the city, and is the guest of his old army friend, Col. Jerome Hill, at his comfortable home on Park avenue. The General came hero from Richmond, Va., with Col. Ilill. He had been to the Confederate capital to take part in the ceremonies attending the unveiling of the statue of Gen. Lee last week. "I had a glorious time in Richmond," said he, i "where I was royally received and enter- | tained by the old Confederate soldiers.: The politicians may take the heads of the hoys, but they cannot take their hearts. | Men who have fought shoulder to shoulder and suffered together the privations of war will never lose their affection for each ! other. A soldier's heart is a tender thing after it has been through a war, and there , is no spot in it so soft as the one of love for comrades." "You were well pleased, then, with your reception by your old soldiers at Richmond ?" "Yes, indeed. They shook my hands ' until they made my arms ache. My right! arm is sore yet. They all seemed glad to j see me, but none of them cared to see me more than I did them. There was in the , crowd about a half dozen boys that be- ' longed to aSouth Carolina regiment. They I had an old Confederate battle flag, carry- j ing it around on a pole. It was shot to j pieces, and no one could have told what. it was if the boys had not informed them. They got around a carriage in which I was seated and asked me to stand up so that they could salute me. Of course I granted their request. -"At another time during my stay in Richmond I was seized by a crowd of old soldiers and wrapped up completely in Confederate flags. After I was almost smothered in those flags they covered mo all over with Federal flags. Just as I got out of that position an old, blind, crippled soldier came up to me and begged me to shake hands with him. He said he would never see me again, but he wanted to grasp my hand and hear me speak again. I mention these incidents in answer to your question about my treatment at Richmond. That is the way I was entertained during my whole stay there." BAD WAll HISTORY. Referring to the civil war Gen. Longstreet was asked what he thought about the Century magazine stories. "They are no good as historical matter," replied tho general, "because they have no official acking. The trouble is that one man writes a war story as he saw it, and some other fellow comes along and writes it another way. I remember reading the other day of a man who wrote an account of a battle during the late war, and after it was published a gentleman who knew more about it than he did called him down on erroneous statements made. The author of the war story then acknowledged that he had written the story on information obtained from another party. The only way to get a good history of the civil war would be for some good historian to compile it from the official records, with foot notes discussing inaccuries in the official reports." "You had much experience with soldiers, general; who in your opinion, was the best cavalry officer in the Confederate service?" "The best cavalryman on either side was Jeb Stuart. He was the greatest cavalry soldier, I think tho world ever know." FEDERAL ELECTION LAW. "There is an important political question I would like you to answer for mo, general," said the reporter, "and yet I dislike very much to attempt to draw you into a political interwiew. The people of the North and South are very greatly interested in an attempt of the present Federal congress to pass a national election law, calculated to interfere with the privilego of tho people in the Southern States to manage their own elections according to the rights guaranteed them by the Federal constitution. Whatdoyouthinkofthat?" "I cannot answer that, because I must ask you to excuse mo from discussing political questions. I will say, however, that congress has passed election laws for the Soutn before and they have amounted to nothing. I suppose this one will come out me same way 11 it is ever put on uiu statute books." Toracco is Taiiooed.?United Presbyterians must not smoke or chow tobacco hereafter, according to the action of the general assembly of that church, in session last week at Buffalo, N. Y. The Illinois Presbytery recommended that action be taken against tobacco. The committee favorably reported on prohibiting elders and students from using the weed. This did not suit the general assembly, and the clergymen fought hard against the narcotic, which they compared as a poison with Paris green. Even if soothing to the mind it was deadly and debilitating to the body. Nobody in the 200 defended tobacco, and it was agreed to accept an amendment reported from the committee in which laymen, as well as clergymen, elders and students, must not use the offensive drug. Tiie Flack Divorce Case.?The notorious Flack divorce proceedings in New York city had a practical ending last Friday. On that day the supreme court, general term, affirmed the conviction and sentence of ex-Sheriff Flack and his son Will in connection with the Flack fraudulent divorce. The ex-sheriff will now , u t? L . ?.i . i i.. _ uiiVB i<j aervo uvu uiuuius iu iiibuii^ puoon and pay $500 fine, and William Flack will have to put in four months in the penitentiary, and pay the same fine as his father. Flack, last year, while sheriff of New York, secretly entered divorce proceedings against his wife, making charges against her, which were shown to be false. When detected in his nefarious scheme, Governor Hill demanded his resignation. f ROYAL FSi'M kHI * ^akiH6 POWDER Absolutely Pure Tills powder never varies.
