The Story- of the FamoaB Lady with tho Iron Jaw as Told by Hersolf. "My name is Milly Do Granvir.c, I'm twenty-three years old, and I can lift 450 pounds dead weight with my teeth," said the young lady with the iron jaw, as she came forth smiling, after the performance at Banriini a, to meet a reporter of the New York )V?rM. Fifteen minutes baforb the l itter bad sat i n'fn?le hstonis-liinent while this young woman, wave I a kitchen chair in her teeth, or by the tip end of its back held it at right angles to her comely figure, while all the multi tude applauded. Now he stood alone in the presence of a fashiouab e young lady, with pretty di.npled cheeks und large gray eyes, that twinkled g ???d ?natu fed ly 'beneath1 a perfect gar'leu ?of flowers in the shape of a spring hat,'and which*'looked honestly at the^'reporier as the above startling announcement Was made, fhe transi tion from ' Greek'to Parisian vitality was too sudden; the reporter stool speechless. "What 1 yon don't believe me? See!" And tho spring bonnet bent down graceful I)', while with an in cisive click a set of beautifully white and even teeth came together on tho back -of 'O. mahogany chair, which straightway1 was tossed high up over the young lady's head, held there a momeiffc, triumphantly returned to its legs, and then complacently sat d?.syu upon by Miss De G run vi lie. "Well, will you," said the reporter, curiosity overcoming finer iastijiets, -'allow me to inspect thorn roni irk able teeth ??' 'Of course,*' said Miss De Gran \ ilie,. n^bn ?iujiig. 8i.yiio at thf saina r time supplying the ppp irtuuity. "I never''?v,iih difficulty articulating through a widely-opened mouth? "called upon a dentist iu all my life and never had a in; ment's tooth ache.'' Accurately described, and without liny poetical reference to pearls, Miss De (?rni ville's. teeth are perfect, which1, cohsi lering the fact that for the last six years she has put them to ?melt uncommon uses as the lifting of water casks and Shetland ponies, is somewhat remarkable. "Yes," mused the young lady, as Ii ' r po tor <.x.j;r?--M;il this opinion.

Shu didn't look iilic Samson. "Do ti l! me how you ever came to statt in this remark.-hie line of busi ness," said the reporter. "Oh, yes. Well,, you see, my mother had?has still?a wonderful set of teeth. Why, to this day she can Idle a hickory-nut same as you would a peanut. My father n.iver hud the .toothache, neither, to tho day he died. When 1 was a little girl I used to go round the house lift ing things. That was in Canada; I was born in Toronto? Aftern while we moved to Pennsylvania. Then ma got married again, and I went to Chicago to earn ray own living. I ain't a hit ashamed of it, sir. I used to be a dining-room girl in Harn tun's Hotel iu Chicago. . Well, you see, the other girls used to kuow how strong I was, and I used to lift tho chair in my teeth just to amuse them. One day tho manager of the Alhambra came to dine at the hotel, and caught mo lifting one of the dining-room chairs. 'Why, little, girl,' says he, 'you ought to go into the theater.' So I asked him to take me, and he took me, and I went, and I've blessed him ever Bince." "Then you'vo-beeu-very success ful Vi "Successful? Why, I should say t.o. You bo D'Atalio, tho man with tnV iron jaw, ( used to have it all to Himself; hut, of course, when a woman could do' flie same ' things'it was a bigger card, and I can lift more than D.'Atalie could. Ho was only a little fellow, you know. Bot D'Atalie is dend now, eo we won't say anything ab? tit him, and, besides, his wife?the woman who used to firu off a cannon on her shoulders, you know?is a friend of mine, though she will never come to. see mo act. It makes her think rorrwtMrf of rTHbT'D'Atalie. she say?. Yes, ' rContinued the youn^ lady, showing her' teeth, half sadly. Ami then she unaffectedly narrated her eventful life since the time she lifted the dining-room, cha'w in Chi eago to the presort moment, dwelling upon the astonishment of the South Americans at a recent visit she has paid that country. In concluding the interview, Miss De Granville'said thatslio has always enjoyed most" excellent health, but ha*j bfeen lately informed by a doctor that a pain occasionally felt in her eyes'in the*'result of continued press ing upon#t'ie! nerves of her eye teeth, add that she fears she will eventually have to abandon heavy lifting. The Old .Trooper's Story. ?* ? - ~ It was n horrible scar. Commenc ing ? at the roots of the hair, just ovar the left temple, it ran down across the face to the right hand corner of the mouth- The flesh had closed to gether in a great ridge, and the nose seemed to have beon shortened half an inch by the process of healin g. The man"^tlr Hhe*ifca"i'*sang two or tlirce songs, and then passed his hat around for pennies. "Did a blow of mi Injun's toma hawk do that ?" he repeated. "No, I sirj I got that cut down bid yfrgu iiin during the war, 'b ut the time it ; looked as if Jeff D.ivis was the biggest patriot in the country " "You wereju. the cavalry.?'' "You .hot oil was I I smashed up so many horses I was owing the confeder ate government* $400,000 whon it collapsed. It' she. hadn't collapsed I'd been forced into bankruptcy.'' . He chuckled, and raised his hat so as to reveal the.scnr.in all its.hideous ness, and continued: 'T don't believe a tomahawk could haive a.-car like this. It takes a good sharp saber to.spoil a man's face so that be {?daren't look iu the glass or have Iii?) photograph taken. A Yank E>lushed nie, of course, b.ut who do you suppose it was?

He was raiding art?un'trwith a lot of cavalry, and our folks got him in a boxv Suinebow we got around him on all sides, and we had cavalry. I infantry and artillery. Wo were two to one, had him fairly cornered, and by all decent rules of warfare be ou^ht to have hung out the white flag, handed over bis saber, and polite ly said : 'Boys, you've got the grape vine twist on mo and I cave ' We expected it; but, confound bim ! he dtdu't do any suchthing. No,sir, he massed his troopqrs, gave 'em to understand that it was 'death or home,' and the whole caboodle of'em came lor us on the gallop, bauds play ing, flags flying and troopers yelling liko wild Injuns, .

We were all mixed up, bullets flying, hacking, men yelling, horses neighing, every body shouting, and it was a fiends' dance all around ! I heard a Yank shouting orders, as if he was some big gun or other; and I worked up to hfTr through the smoke. It was Custoi I had seen him before, and I know what a fightor ho was.

A'. 1. ,$'??. ; Secret of Happiness. Men nnd women wed each other to he happy. And why 'not, if they marry wisely? Tber man should al ways be a little bigger than his wife, and a litt'e older, a little braver, a little stronger, a little wiser, and a lii'lc more in love with her than she is with him. The woman should al ways be a little younger, and a little prettier, and a little:niore inconsider ate than her husband. lie should bestow upon her nil his worldly goods, and she should take good care of them. He may owe her every care and. tenderness tliat affection can prompt; but pecuniary indebtedness to her will become a burden. Better live on a crust he earns thau a fortune she^lvfe-brijLUght him. Neither must "encourage sentimental menasnips fur the opposite St. x. Perfect confidence in euch other, and reticence concern ing- their mutual nlfiirs, even to the members of their own families, is n first necessity. A wife should dress herself becomingly whenever she ex pects to meet her husband's eye. The man should < not grow slovenly, 0\cn at home. Fault finding, long argu ments or scoldimr, ends the happiness that begins in kisses and lovc-uiuk ing. Sisters and brothers may quar rel nnd ''make up." Lovers are lovers no longer after such disturb-f nnces occur, and married people who nre. not lovers are bound by red hot chains. If a man admires his wile most in prints, she is silly not to wear them, if she likes him best in black cloth, he b a fool if he neglects to indulge in'it. They, should contrive j to please each other, evenifthsy please nobody else, for theif mutual happiness can only be the result of their mutual love, nnd that loye will never fail to exalt its object. How Mental Effort is Paid For. Close confinement, intense mental activity, and that spiritual excite ment which is a necessary conditio? of fine intellectual work, make great draughts on the nervous system. It needs a strong constitution to endure them. Every great mental effort has to be prtid lor in one way or another. Digestion, muscular vig'?r, nerves, and often the brain itself, give way under the strain. Let any man, who. is not used to intellectual work, sit down to prepare twenty or thirty pages ot manuscript, or make him self ready to address a jury on a case of life and death, or calculate some great aud complicated business enter prise, ami ho will soon learn the bit-, terncss anil prostration of brain fati gue. Whctl the parson comes now n on Monday moruing his appetite is gone and his nerves uro tremulous, and his head feels as if a lit tlo shak ing would make hiB cerebrum and ceiebellum rattle about like dry ker nels in a walnut shell. The lawyer, when ho hns? finished his brilliant plea; the lecturer, when he has de livered his eloquent oration; the man of affairs, when lie has gone through ?ho strain of winding up a gear's busi ness, tho author, wlion ho comes out from five hour?' quill-driving in his study; nil these, unless they are gifted . with uncommon strength and endur ance, are exhausted men, and a kind of allov/anco must be made for their condition. Why American Women are Deli cate. One of the reasons of the delicacy of our women is the far greater style affected by all classes in dress, and the wearing of corsets during curly youth. Naturally, if one has attain ed a full and fine physical develop ment, tight corsets, heavy skirts, close fitting boots and weighty chignons canuot injure" to the same extent as when those appliances of fashion are placed upon the soft and yielding muscles, of a young and growing girl. The ladies of England exerci.se many hours daily iu the open air. They do not disdain to wear heavy calf-skin boots and colored petticoats in which'to perform this duty. This, of course, would not olone make them as healthy as they are, were not their constitutions strengthened by proper physical education at eighteen years of age, but it suffices to retain a good degree of health. Our fair Americans early iu the day attire themselves in charming morning costumes, with white skirts, aud.thon they are averse to soiling these by exercise, and the least dampness deters them a promen ade. American ladies think far more of dress and fashion, and spend more time on their toilets, than any wo men in Europe, not even excepting the French, from whom all our fash ions come.? Galaxy. A But i f Lovii Story.?This is a Christmas love story as told by tho Uti.ca Herald\: Nellie Gragg, aged ten .years,'Came into the Herald office and wante?! to know the price of printing n love Story. . When asked to show the story she said it was not written, hue she could tell it. The little ?.ne was given a soaf, and told her love story very prettily as follows : Now, my name is ,N el lie Gregg, and I want this put the Morning Her alt/, and sign my name to it. Now, I went to El Dorado county, Cal!, with my father, a year ago, and show ed Edward ;Slator a picture of a real nice girl. Now, he fell in love with the girl and commenced writing to her, and Thursday of last week he came on to Utica and married her, and be never saw her before, and now lie promises me a present and he hasn't given it to me yet, and don't you think he ought to? That's all the story, and I told him I would put it in the Morning Herald. Please do it for me !" A s that was the shortest and best love story we have heard for many a day, we told Nellie we would publish it, and have kept our word. Nellie is a bright little girl, and evi dently has been a goud angel to the California!!. He has got his wife and Nellie should have tha promised pre sent without delay. - tm -* ? A Queek Experiment.?Popular suffrage has been put to a singular test ih n village of Awa, Japan. The neighborhood was harrassod by a midnight robber, whom nobody could detect. Tbc-hcad of tho hamlet sum moned the entire male population under his charge, and dirocted every man to write the name of the person whom he suspeotcdand to deposit the ticket in a box. Fifteen ballats bore the name of Abo Tanihei, tho rest being blanks. The man whom every body distrusted was so overcome with astonishment that he made a full con fession and wont to prison. Never before in tho history of popular government was a thief elected with such unanimity. -!?,. j *$ -Q. ?11, Hie reason why lovers are never weary ol one another is this?they aro always talking of themselves. Pride is not the heritage of man. Humility should dwell with frailty, and ntono for ignorance, error and imperfection. Texas proposes to ship her cattio and beef to England from Gal verton direct, instead of sbuding them to New York first. * 1 ' -=3 The Ohufa. So much has been written of the chufa nnd its wonderful productive ness and its peculiar adaptiveness to the South, that anything further would seem superfluous; but I hope that a concise report of my experi ence with it would not be an intru sion, particularly as it develops the fact that the chu.'a has a most de structive enemy in come sections. But first allow me to give a short account of the soil and the way it was pre pared for planting, before proceeding to give the result of my experiment. The soil in which it was planted is a sandy lonn with clay subsoil, cap able of producing lbrty bushels of corn in an ordinarily favorable'sea sou without the application of ma nure. Now as to mode of preparation : The land was broken up to a depth of five or six inches about the 10th of April and lay till the 15th of May, was then thrown into beds three feet apart; these beds were leveled down by dragging a heavy log over them and the chufas planted about Hi teen inches apart in drill. Thoy came up well and grew oft* vigorously, receiv ing careful cultivation with hoc and plough?mainly with the sweep. About the first of July I began to notice a tew dead sprigs iu the tops; on examiuing these I found in the stem just underneath the soil a small grub about the size of a grain of wheat, white aud red dish head. Observation did not enable one to de termine whatiusect. fly or miller was the parent of this destructive larva. These larva* increased in numbers so I largely that they so completely de stroyed the chufas that not a vestige, other thun dead tops, remained ty tell the tule. It is proper to state that the locality in wt.ioh this oc curred was Pilot Poiut, Denton County, Texas, something near a huudred miles north of the Pines, on or near the thirty-fourth parallel. It is, therefore, to be hoped that no such calamity will obtain in the pina regions of the South where there is more pressing need of such a prolific grower as the chufa to supplement the scant corn supply by adding a cheap hog food. In this locality, where com is pro duced at tweuty-five cents per bushel, we do not need the chufa, and there fore can sustain the privation better than in less favored localities where laud is not by nature so productive.

Mako your garden-rich with stable manure and home made composts, after which getifyou can, a gcod nnd pure article of concentra ted manure frcm a manufacturer or dealer, whom you can trust, nnd use it as an auxiliary. Apply on garden beds, already morderately manured with stable manure and intended for vegetables, at tho rate of four quarts to the square rod, mixing it with a wheelbarrow load of compost?spreading broadcast and digging in with a spadiug-forkor a pronged hoe. For beans, sugar corn, melons, cab bages, cucumbers, tomatoes, squashes, etc., apply a large tablespoonful to each hill, mixing it well with the soil before putiing in the seed or plant, as in some cases it is not safo to permit it to come in a mass in direct contact with them. Sjiuc apply one. half the quantity they propose to use at the. time of planting, nnd tho other half as a top dressing nt the first hoeing.?* 'Sinti Tropica/.
