Tlant Oftkn.?One of the best rule
the fanner or gardener can follow to iu
sore success in getting a good stand of
tonder crops, is to plant often. Take,
for example, melons, squashes, cucum?
bers, Lima beans, and snob other pro?
ducts as may be desirable to start early,
and which often fail when planted early,
aud apply the rule at the head of this
article, and success would be certain.
Fit your ground early; make broad, rich,
flat hills, slightly crowning, to insure
drynoBs and gain warmth. Then plant
early in tho season, and ono week later,
put down a few more seeds in the hills
with the thumb and fingers; a week later,
repeat the planting, and if the season be
particularly cold aud baokward, and the
first plaotings do not appear, a fourth
may be necessary. By this method, suc?
cess is rendered oortaio; bat little time
is lost, for the later planting will grow so
fast as to overtake the first. At the pro?
per time, thinning must be done, and
the crop is then handsomely started on
its journey.?Rural Home.
An American judge once intervened in
an odd way to prevent a waste of words.
He was sitting in chambers, and seeing
from the piles of papers in the lawyers'
hands that the first case was likely to be
hardly contested, he asked. "What is tho
amount in qaestion?" "Two dollars,"
said the plaintiffs oounsel. "I'll pay
it," ssid the judge, handing over the
money; "call the next ease."

In an action for slander, Justice
Cresswell put the ease to the jury in the
emphatic words: "Gentlemen, the de*
fendsht's a foul-mouthed fellow. What
damages?"?an example of judicial
brevity only to be matohed by Baron
Alderson's address to a convicted pri?
soner, who prayed that God]might strike
j him dead where he stood if he were not
innocent. After a moment's silenoe the
I judge sternly and coldly said: "Prisoner

posed in behalf of society, the sentence
I of the court is that you be transported
for the term of twenty years."
A Florida edast letter to the New York
I Sun says: "Most of the inhabitants here
wear wrecked goods. Even their hats
I and shoes* come from stranded ships.
I Their wives and daughters have dresses
j and aprons made of wrecked calico,
their tables are covered with Wreoked
linen, and their beds are spread, with
wrecked muslin. A good wreck will
I supply an economical family for years,
j Tbe* ship ashore is regarded as legiti?
mate prey. The people are honest and
passably industrious, but they will go
for a wreck like gulls for a dead fish."
Another Jewish Exodus.?The brutal
persecutions which the Jews have suf?
fered so long in Bonmania will probably
result not only in benefits to the Jews,
unforeseen by their persecutors, bat in a
great gain to this country. Several
wealthy Jews have recently arrived in
New York, as agents of their brethren in
jBuamania, to select a home in the New
World, Where the colonists may enjoy
religious freedom. As soon as a home
is secured, from 3.000 to 6,000 Jews will
embark for New York.
I Pension to Widows.?The pension 1
!awa as amended by the last Congress
wiii.-tsiTb ii?r^i^d pension to widows
having one child. The amount of in?
crease is $2 per month, and has nob been
allowed heretofore except where there
more than one ohild. Many claims
I are now being filed ander the new law,
I and the question to be decided is whether |
the increase is to date back from July 22,
1866, the date of original Aot increasing j
widows' pensions, or from date of modi

Monoure D. Conway tells this story in

was "Jack Cade." First stranger, re?

Bbuial Assault. - Mr. Aaron Thomas

by two negroes, whom he met on the

of the party. The assault was made
without provocation whatever. Mr.
