"I overheard," said he, "some years ago a great debate between a Northern printer and a Southern compositor on the subject of the late war. The Southerner was hot, impetuous and sentimental. The Northern champion calm, cool, and even phlegmatic. "Why, didn't we lick you out of your boots at Manassas?' " 'Granted,' said the Northern typesticker. " 'Didn't we smash you at Cold Harbor, and wipe up the ground with you in the Wilderness ?" " 'Granted,' said the other. " 'Didn't we tie you all up in knots and make rags of you all through the Peninsula campaign ?' " 'Granted,'said the Northerner ; 'but how was it at Appomattox ?' " 'Yes, how was it at Appomattox ?' shouted the Southron, growing sentimental as the mingled beers and whiskies they were consuming rose to his head.

Dat's one ob dc fines' words I eber heard. Ef I had been in possession ob dat observation, sail, I wouldn't hab been beat for justice of de peace. But, jedge, I wants de dissolution right now." "What has your wife done?" "She's been actin' like a white 'oman, an is gettin' above me. Dat's why yer hears my voice in dis wail of complaint." "How has she acted like a white \fceman ?" "Why, she kisses a dog, sail. It was all right so long as she went wid white wimmin, and tried to run away wid a preacher, but when she tuck up dat dog I 'gun ter get sick.

"I think that I would," replied the judge. "An' den, ef she wus ter set de dog up ter de table an' chaw beefsteak for him, wouldn't dat seem sorter outrageous ter yer legal understandin'?"

A Concatenated Narrative.?Cackston, who wanted to sell his farm, was approached by a man who wanted the place. "How's health down here?" "Health is good," exclaimed Cackstou with enthusiasm. "Any chills?" "I tell you what's a fact: Some time ago an old man who had been shaking for years with palsy came to my house, stayed a week and hain't shook none since." "Isyour family well?" "Splendid health, sir." Next day the man again approached Cackston and said: "You have misrepresented your place to me and I'm going to whale you right here." "I made no misrepresentation," he nervously replied. "I asked you how was health down there?" "And I said that health was good. Now, sir, health is good. Everybody wants health and its good wherever you find it." "You said that au old man who had palsy?" "I said that an old man who had palsy come to my house and hadn't shook none since. He died." "You said that your family was well. I found that your family are all sick." "My family is well. Them people living in that house is not my family; my folks live in town." "I ought to whale you," said the man, "for I know you have lied somehow. I'll see you again in a day or two, and if by that time i have found the township, section anu range of the lie you have told, look out." Witty Mather Byles.?The Rev. Mather Byles, of Boston, who preached there in 1776, one day effected au exchange with a country clergyman, and each went on horseback to the appointed place. They met by the way, and I)r. Byles no sooner saw his friend approaching than lie put spurs to his horse, and passed him at full gallop. "What is the matter?" cried the other, iu astonishment; "why so fast, Brother Byles." Brother Byles shouted over his shoulder, without slackening speed, "It is fast day !" One day when he was busy nailing some list upon his doors to exclude the cold, a parishioner called to him : "The wind bloweth where it listeth, I)r. Byles!" "Yes, sir," replied the doctor! "and man listeth where the wind bloweth." He was once arrested as a Tory, tried, convicted, and sentenced to confinement on hoard a guard-ship, to he sent to England with his family iu forty days. A sentinel was placed over him. He was removed, replaced, and again removed. "I have been guarded, regarded, and disregarded," said the doctor. He spoke humorously of his sentinel as his "ohscrve-a-Tory."

Though not often ([noted, once in a while a lawyer with a desperate case makes use of it. In one case the judge instructed the jury that it was to judge of the law as well as the facts, but added that it was not to judge of the law unless it was fully satisfied that it knew more law than the judge. An outrageous verdict was brought in, contrary to all instructions of the court, who felt called upon to rebuke the jury. At last one old farmer arose : "Jedge," said lie, "wern't we to jedge the law as well as the facts?" "Certainlv." was the response ; "but I told you not to judge the law unless you were clearly satisfied that you knew the law better than I did." "Well, jedge," answered the fanner, as he shifted his quid, "we considered that p'int." ?Detroit Free Press. ? ? ?

That will be fun. You pull one side, and I'll pull the other; and whoever gets the longer end can have her wish come true. Why, baby, you've got it! What was your wish, Frances?"

CORN SILAUE FOR SOILING. With the progressive practices of dairying everywhere noticed in the dairy regions, the conditions become each year more and more artificial, ana me tilings mat were rencci upon in the main for the support of the cows are being abandoned. Where the pasture was once the great source of supply from May to November, soiling in some of its forms has grown to be more than an aid, in fact, with many, the pasture has become an aid to soiling. The great demand for grain, especially the by-products of the mills, has so increased their prices that it is a question whether, when prices of butter and cheese are at summer quotations, there is a profitable return in their feeding, and so the idea of home-grown supplies for the dairy is everywhere the paramount question. No progressive dairyman contends that pasture grass alone from spring to fall is sufficient in itself to supply the demand of a dairy in keeping up the milk flow, especially since the advent of silos and winter dairying, where it is demonstrated that with good stabling and care, the uniform ration, showing no greater variation than in the summer pasture, will keep cows well up in the high flow of milk, and for weeks longer than where the cow, in a great measure, crops her own feed along the ^hillsides and by the "murmuring brooks," with all the variations of weather incident to the summer season. That the practice of having a succession of crops to meet the shortcomings of the pasture is no more than a partial solution of the question, is demonstrated by the fact of its slow acceptance by those who desire a reliable source of supply, for the same causes that occasion a shortened pasture supply, are the elements that cut short the yield of soiling crops. At this juncture the silo comes in to supply this want more completely than anything that has preceded it, and to furnish a full supply of the best succulent food, a store of fine corn silage, put up the fall before in a special silo, and kept undisturbed - 1 it..

For two years there have been rumors that here and there a silo man had been feeding silage in the summer in place of grain, or soiling crops, with great satisfaction, but the "oracles'' have been saying that silage was not a natural summer food, and the matter has not been so fully presented for consideration as it might have been, or its merits demanded. But now when the Vermont Experiment Station comes out in a bulletin and shows that for three years corn silage hus been a more reliable and in every way satisfactory summer soiling ration than any other system of soiling, and more, that silage fed alongside with the best fresh cut corn in the fall gave by far the best results, these men who have been feeding it in silence now come to the front and confirm, in a positive way, all that Prof. Cooke claims, and from the East and West these statements come from such authorities as II. B. Curler, of Illinois; Max Higler, of Ohio, and J. O. San ford, of Vermont. In the summer feeding of silage there are some things that need to be a little different from the winter practices. In the winter there is little danger of the exposed surface of the silage becoming damaged by the contact with the air, as the temperature is too low to produce any considerable fermentation before it is removed in the feeding, but in the summer it is a matter of some concern that the surface shall be all gone over each day, and a considerable depth removed. While it is not to be presumed that a trace of fresh ferment would be of any great damage, it must be remembered that the silage has in its curing been sufficiently fermented, and to start it again into ferment would not be the same in kind, but the second fermeut would by its readiness to 1J 1.1 ? ~ ?1 *1.? ! IIIUUHI WUU1U IU dliUW LlJillr IliU UUtl ncaiing was a process of decay, and would best be avoided. The summer silo should be, therefore, one of as great a depth as possible and somewhat smaller area, so that in feeding the silage will be lowered at least twice as fast as it would be in the winter with the larger silo. When the silo is filled in the fall it should be first allowed to settle, then a layer of green hay put on, and over this some planks to keep the cover snug and close, and two weeks later it should be wet down to cause it to pack more solid, and with natural protection of its own surface mold it is reasonable to suppose that little silage will be lost. Some have had good success by leaving a pit that has been partially fed from May until wanted, by covering with a foot thick of wet sawdust, which can be wholly or partially removed when the silage is wanted. This is a new field for the silo to occupy, and when one considers that the corn crop is | an almost sure one in the dairy regions, and that the silo affords an economical and sure method of its preservation, and that itsfeed| ing in the summer has proved successful and I has ihe highest of endorsements East and West, it is worth the while of the readers of the American Agriculturist to consider if it is not wise policy to find out if it is not possible to keep a cow a year or. something less than five acres of tillable land.?American Agriculturist. Hon Kaisinc.?Because there is money in | hogs at present it is not well that the farmer ! should give up everything else to rush into j this business. To find a profit in it good i breeds of hogs must be raised and the work | must be properly conducted. There are many good breeds of swine, I each of which has certain characteristics which recommend it for certain localities, j and the farmer must be governed accordingi ly. The Chest ers, Sull'olks and Yorkshires are disposed to become fat; the Cheshire, I Berkshire and Poland Chinas are more iuj clined to produce lean meat, while the DurocI Jerseys need less care. The next point is to study the methods of feeding, so as to jxi-t t lie largest and tlie quick; est returns for the least money; in other words, to combine size and maturity. Hitherto, the greatest drawback the swine breed! ers have had to struggle against has been hog cholera. The chief cause of this disease j is now believed to be too much corn. This grain does not furnish the necessary nourishi ment for the bone and muscle. The animal ! takes on too much fat, and falls an easy vic| tim to disease. While retaining corn as an important article of diet, it should be employed chiefly for fattening the hog for market. During the growing stage proper food must be supplied in proper proportion. Portien is the I most important element, and it can be found 1 in such food as clover, peas, roots and oilI meal. It is estimated that in summer one acre of good clover will almost entirely support seven full grown hogs. This is the kind of j food that will keep the animals strong and j healthy. Milk is one of the most valuable aids in hog raising. In fact many say that without it there is no profit in pig raising.? New York World.

Few renders, perhaps, have ever seen the name of Simon Weaver 111 print, and fewer still would know who the man was should it he seen. Divers, as a class, and in spite of all t^hc safeguards a Horded them by modern science, pass a most precarious existence, and each time a descent is made, be the water deep or shallow, the practised diver feels that perhaps his last glimpse of sun, sky and friends has been taken. Those of the most experience feel this the more keenly. One night, while the snow drove like hail against the only window in the house, facing the sea, I found myself one of a party of divers, wreckers, and contractors for such work. I had asked many questions of the several talkers forming the circle as to the life, incidents, and dangers of the profession, when Captain Stephen L., a venerable graybeard among divers and such ilk, nudged me, and whispered that if I could get old Simon Weaver into the talking humor, my desire for stirring incident would be fully gratified. Cautiously approaching the subject of personal adventure under water, for Weaver proved a little shy, by a few well-timed questions I succeeded in "bringing him out" to my satisfaction. As I write the words of the old man I seem to see the earnest glance, the erect figure, and the almost snow-white head shaking and nodding as the memory of his exploits came before his mind. Taking a fresh attitude in his chair, and casting his eyes from one to the other of us "boys," as he called the younger members of the party, the old diver began : "Few of our officers on duty oil' Charleston in 18G- will forget when the news came out to the wooden fleet that a monitor had been partially disabled, and that until something could be done, her situation was extremely critical. She lay quite near the bat*?:? 1 . t 1. ,u.1 tones, aim, ii.i wiungn, mi vimu^; uci uun^vi, their guns were plunging their shot and shell against her with the fiercest energy. "It was soon known that a diver would he called into requisition to do the work under water, while the guns of Sumter bade fair to demolish the whole ship in a few hours. "Being the most experienced of the diving corps on duty at that time, the admiral sent for me without delay, and, laying the difficulty before me, asked if I would undertake the job. By a few judiciously put questions I was soon placed in possession of all the facts, the work to be done, and the results to be expected from success. "The propeller of the vessel had been fouled by some of tho numerous obstructions set afloat by the enemy, and, not wishing to endanger any other vessel in the same manner, the admiral desired to send me alongside in a steam picket-boat, with my best diving-gear, aud try to make a successful descent. "In due time we, that is myself and four more whom I could trust under all peril, arrived at the place of operations. And now, before going further with my story, let me try to give you some idea of the situation, and its cause. A vessel had been sent in to reconnoitre, and, if necessary, to fire on the batteries to ascertain their force and strength. "Proceeding cautiously until within a few hundred yards of Sumter, she had unconsciously drifted too close to the line of obstructions defending the entrance to the harbor, and, in turning to come out, her propeller, as I said before, had become entangled among ropes and chains. All efforts to release the ship from her perilous position had failed ; hence the call for a diver. Immediately on perceiving the state of affairs, 110 hard task, the enemy had opened a fearful fire from all the guns within range on the single craft, and seemed bent 011 her destruction before assistance could reach her. "The shot fell fast aud furious against the iron of her.turret and side armor, while the water 011 all sides fairly boiled from the frequent shot striking its surface. It seemed a veritable iron hail. "As our little picket-boat approached the scene of conflict the firing suddenly censed, and we were fortunate enough to get below with the apparatus before the terrible storm again burst over the trembling ship. The real cause of this apparent kindness was revealed to us the following day by a deserter from Sumter. "As the picket-steamer approached the monitor, the enemy imagined that a message from the Yankee commander was about to be received, looking to an armistice or surrender, and so slackened fire. After waiting a few moments, and the expected Hag of truce not making its appearance, the enemy saw that somehow they had been outwitted, and the shower of shot and shell seemed to increase in fierceness as they reopened fire. "In a short time I saw how matters stood, and succeeded in finding a place on the lee 1- -i' .1.. , ? ...1 .1 1.:.. side 01 me mrrei, wiieiu, 11 uiu ouiji i.uum be kept in one position, no shot could reach me. Carefully instructing my men as to their duties, I at length got my ladder overboard on the safe side, and made it fast in such a manner that should the wind change or rise during my absence under water, my means of escape should not be entirely cut off. Leading my air-pipe up through the turret and out through one of the ports, I firmly secured it to my helmet, and requested that all firing from the ship be suspended during my absence, for experience lmd taught me the danger of a heavy discharge directly overhead of a diver. "The position of the turret favored my request, and placing its back to the enemy enabled me to use the gun port as I have described. As my life would bang upon a thread, at best, I made every arrangement for safety that experience could suggest, even going myself into the engine-room and enjoining upon the engineer of the watch not to allow the engines to be started upon any consideration until my return from the perilous undertaking, the success or failure of which assured the safety or loss of the vessel. The pump for supplying me with air was fixed in the turret-chamber, and as the fragments of shot which still poured in from Sumter might cut the air-tube as it crossed the deck, I had arranged a stout iron pipe as a sheath, and discarded entirely the usual signal-line. "All being in readiness, after personally inspecting all of the apparatus, I cautiously made my way to the ladder, and having fixed my helmet firmly in its place, and secured my kit of tools, hammer, saw, chisels, etc., to the strong belt attached for the purpose, began my slow descent. "Fortunately the water was quite clear and free from mud, so I had no difficulty in seeing everything with perfect distinctness, (iradually Hearing the bottom, for the depth of water exceeded the draught of the vessel less than four feet, I became aware of quite a strong current setting me against the ship, which, while lessening my fear of being swept out of reach of my ladder, rendered work ing more dimcult. As usual, my progress was attended by numbers of curious lisli, and as I neared the bottom one or two huge fellows passed close by, but seemed intent 011 other prey, leaving me in peace. "Once or twice I was somewhat startled by a heavy splash overhead, and a dull thud, followed bv the rapid descent of a shot or shell within easy view, and as it would settle into the soft, eosey bottom, a little cloud of mud would for a moment obscure it from view. I felt a constant fear from seeing these oft-recurring clouds, lest some of them might be the spluttering fuse of an uncxploded shell. "Although an old hand at the diving business, it had never before been my fortune to operate in action, so I was not a little anxious, as you may imagine, as to the ell'ect of a shell exploding on the bottom. I was not long waiting, and found out to my entire satisfaction, as I will presently tell you. Well, at length I reached bottom and slowly trod my way along the bends of the ship to the base of operations, the disabled screw, sometimes stepping on rusty shot, or some old, rust-worn anchor. The trouble with the propeller was this: a piece of chain attached to the floating obstructions had become so .. ^....,1 nlmlll til,. t.vr.tw.l l?t*-?tl '1 ft lu.fll-tw.t. til,. blades and stern-post, as to become perfectly rigid. "I began operations at once, and released the strain so suddenly that the engines gave one quick, partial revolution, 'on a vacuum,' as I afterwards learned, one blade striking my expiration tube, throwing me from my feet, and for a moment it seemed that my fate was sealed. "The screw stopped as suddenly as it had started, and somehow I struggled to my feet again. A few strokes more completed my jolt, ard I soon had the good old ship in fighting trim again, so far at least as her propeller was concerned. "Being now at liberty to return, I cautiously retraced my steps to where the ladder hung idly swinging to and fro in the water, and was about to mount to the surface, when, ; with a crash and roar of ten thousand shots, a bi?^ shell fell apparently right over subhead, and after what seemed but the fraction of a second, settled, as I thought, directly I upon me. Passing but a few feet distant, it ! hud scarcely reached the bottom, when the I very earth and sen seemed shattered to | atoms. "Theshell had exploded almost beside me! i By some means the hooks that were provided | in the breast of my armor had become fastened to a round of my ladder, else this tale had never been told. Stunned and racked as it was, the instinct of self-preservation urged me to attempt the ascent of my only road to safety, the ladder, when, to my horror, the current began swaying me back and forth in such a manner that I found it impossible to do aught but hold on, and trust to the chapter of accidents lor relief. "In an instant after I became aware of the current, a dull, regular beat, united to a seeming tremor of the ship, convinced me that the ship was under way, and probably steaming out to the licet. A glimpse or two at the bottom assured me of this, for I could plainly see it gliding past until the shoals deepened and nothing could be seen underneath me but water. Imagine my situation, you youngsters who think you have seen danger?towed to sea under a monitor! "The motion rapidly grew more violent, and had it not been for the hooks I have spoken of, death would have been inevitable, for my strength would not have enabled me to retain my hold on the ladder, and I should have been drowned, my body weighed down by armor, beyond recovery. "All of this time, in reality minutes, but seemingly hours, my faithful men within the turret chamber had not ceased to give me a plentiful supply of air, so my only danger lay in being swept away. After what seemed miles of ground passed over, and hours of time, the beat of the engine grew gradually slower, then stopped, and 110 sooner did I feel the pressure of the current relax than I prepared to make the best of my way to the surface. "I remember 110 more. A deadly faint seized me, and for hours I lay without life, vibrating between this world and the one beyond. Returning senses revealed my four men around me, on the wardroom table, doing their utmost in my behalf, and only gave way to the surgeon when a heavy groan and slowly opening eyes told that my life was safe. "I speedily recovered, and for the first time learned the details of my great peril and marvelous escape. "Immediately on the strain being taken oH of the propeller by the chains being cut, the engines gave the quick partial revolution which I have mentioned, and the engineer, as in duty bound, of course, reported that, the disability to the machinery being removed, he was preparing to go ahead at any moment. "It was but a few minutes after this that the tide began to How, causing the current I have spoken of, and the devoted vessel bade i fair to be again drifted among the dreaded obstructions and still nearer to Sumter, whose guns never ceased their roar all this time. "Captain , to prevent this threatened catastrophe, and feeling certain that I was clear of danger from the propeller, determined to go ahead a short distance to clear all'danger from the obstructions, and then to await my return to the surface before proceeding farther. "Carefully watching the air-pipe leading overboard, the engines were started slowly, and as the ship gathered headway, and the pipe remained without visible strain, it was concluded that my ascent had beguu, as in truth was the fact.; so instead of coming to ! after steaming a short distance, the ship was I headed for the fleet, and only came to anchor j when within hail of the flagship. The rest I | have told you. "As one result of that day's work, I was sent home on the sick list, and from that day to this, young man," turning to me as lie spoke, "I have never been inside a diver's dress, and never intend to be again." As the old man approached the conclusion he grew quite excited, as indeed had bis listeners, and as the tones of his voice died away, the wind outside, gathering fresh fury, seemed to shake the old house to its very foundation. ^^PowderJ Absolutely A cream of tartar taking powder.
