"WEDNESDAY, ATJGTJST 31. A BRIDE OF A YSAK. She ?s white and slender and fkir, Her eyes are a?arae with desire, Bright with lustre of jouth is her hair, She is dew. she is starlight, and tire. Thou birch-tree swayed by the wind ! More gently swayed is her form, For a breath can move her or bind, And his love is her sunlight and storm, lier life is a vision, a dream. Where she sitteth apart with her joy ; Adown the day's measureless stream She fioateth where naught can annoy. Her smile is the smile of the morn, Her beauty the coolnesss of-eve ; O morning, art ever forlorn ! Why, spirit of eveoing, dost grieve ! ?Mrs. James T. Fields, in Scribner's Maga zineJ-jt September. MISSING LINKS. Los Angeles, Gal., is crowded with eastern visitors. There are twelve thousand saloons in the state of Ohio. Most of the beef consumed by Cali focnians is brought from Arizona. In Dayton, ?ro?on, potatoes sell for 926 per ton, and they are scarce at that. A ouiary bird said to bo over 25 years old died in Jordan, X. Y-, a lew days ago. Half-Moon and Crescent are the Barnes of two towns ia the Empire state The last session of the Vermont legis lature resulted in the adoption of 109 laws. Twenty-eight of the thirty-nine coun ties of Washington Territory have elect ed women as School Superintendents. W. P. Russell; of Riverside. Cal, has sold his crop of oranges on six acres of land at ?500 per acre, the buyer to take the frutt on the trees. Mrs. Rachel Francis, who died recent ly in Atlanta, Ga., left about S30.000, which she had made mostly from hex dairy and truck farm. Kate Field holds $100,000 worth of telephone stock, and can afford to* shake up the Mormon monster occasionally whether she hurts him or not. Laura Bridgeman, the wonderful blind woman, has returned to the insti tute for the blind at Sooth Boston. She is now nearly 67 years of age. The niece of Beau Brumm el, who died recently in London, was a very hand some woman, and knew, like her illus trious progenitor, how to dress. Ben Butler has discarded his black slouch hat, and now appears crowned with an enormous beaver cap, such as is worn by the frontiersman. In a lecture on 'The England of To day" Mr.. Moncure D.

Cerro Gordo Williams will probably be the next Democratic candidate for Governor of Kentucky and his Repub lican opponent will likelv do Cassius M. . Clav. Mrs. Nancy Gorman, who is 91 years old, at a recent Baptist church festival in New Haven sang a song of her child hood in a most agreeable and vivacious manner. An interesting item ia the Crosby County (Tex.) Clarion is to the effect that "Sam Beasely's second wife, whom he married last month, is knitting him a pair of warm woolen stockings for the winter. " Queen Vi-jtoria is said to have taken an immense fancy to the Battenburg j baby. She gets down on her royal hunkers-and says "Goo" just like any -other grandma. Miss Mabel Wright is the latest dis covered professional beauty in New York. Site is described as the fairest blonde imaginable, with light hair, blue eyes, and exquisite color. The Bavarian authorities arc getting money to pay the mad King's debts by -permitting people to inspect his palaces at an admission fee of 50 cents. In this way $100.003 has boon realized already. Mrs. Florence Boulanger, who lives on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, has beaten the record. Two years ago she bore twins, last year triplets, and now she has given birth to a full quartet. A nrtie gtri, wane loocinsr at, some pretty things in a Sparta. Wis., store window remarked: "My papa has got a whole lot of pocket-books just like those." The owner of the store imme diately secured a search warrant, and the result was that the child's father. Mr- Kousc was arraigned on a charge ot burglary. Several years ago a young girl near Aiken, S C., was in the act of placing a pitcher on a fencepcat when she was Strock dead by lightning. Since then the pitcher bus remained on the post, safe by superstition from the touch of negroes, who believe that the arm which touches it will be paralyzed. Storms and cyclones and earthquakes bave not displaced it. although the post which holds it is fast crumbling with decay. Thiers and Guizot once met on neu tral ground, the lutter being Prime Min ister and the former leader of the Op position. "But, M. Thiers,*' said Guizot, in course of political argument, "you and your friends do nothing but criti cise us. What would you do if you were in power in our places?'1 "We would sing the same song you arc sink ing." replied Thiers; "only we would ging it better." There is said to be much destitution smong the whites in the mountain r*> i gion of Gilts county, Virginia. Many j people live in open cabins, which afford iess shelter in winder for their occupants than do the barns and other buildings ia the north used for the shelter of live stock. Jn winter the women and chip dren are witi??ut shoos and stockings and have scarcely rullicieut clothing to cover them. The Typical American-Lincoln. At the New England dinner in New York Henry W. Grady. the brilliant editor of the Atlanta Cot,station, re- j ferred to Abraham Lincoln as the first j typical American: Pardon me one word. Mr. President; ! spoken for the purpose of getting into j the volumes that go out annually j freighted with the rich eloquence ?J i vour speakers?the fact thai the Cava- I lier a9 well as the Puritan was on this i continent in its early days, and that he j was "up and able to be about." pa ugh- j tcr.l I have read your books carefully j nmf I lind no mention of that fact, j which seems to inc important for pre- I serving a sort of historical equilibrium. I With the Cavalier once established as \ a fact in your charming little books I shall let him work out his own stratum; j as he has always done with engaging I gallantry, and we will hold no contro- j <er*y as ro hissioritst VViiyshoal? we? ! Neither Puritan or Cavalier long sur vived as such. The virtues and tra ditions of both happily still iive for the inspiration of their sons and the saving of the old fashion. [Applause.] But i both Puritan and Cavalier were Jost in the storm of their first revolution, and the American citizen, supplanting both j and stronger than either, took posses- ! sion of the republic bought by their Common bhxxi und ?ash?onud to wis dom, and charged himself wi*h teach ing men government and establishing the voice ot the people as the voice of God. [Applause.] Great types, like valuable plants, uro slow to llowcr and fruit. But from rhe union ofrhesc colo nist-*, fr?Mit the star igh ten irrgof their pur; -oses uad ; he crossing vi '.heir blood, slow perfecting through a century, came he who stands as . the first typical American, the first who comprehended within himself all the strength and gentleness, all the msjesty and grace of this Republic ? Abraham Lincoln. [Loud and long-continued applause.] He was the sum of Puritan and Cava lier, for in his ardent nature were fused the virtues of both, and in the depths of his great soul the faults of both were lost. [Renewed applause]. He was greater than Puritan, greater than Cava lier, in that he was American (renewed applause), and that in his homely form were first gathered the vast and thrill ing forces of this ideal government? charging it with such tremendous mean ing and so elevating it above human suffering that martyrdom, though in famously aimed, came as a fitting crown to a iifeconseerated from the cradle to human liberty. [Loud and prolonged cheering]. Let us, each cherishing his traditions and honoring his fathers, build with reverent hands to the typo of this simple but sublime life, in which all types are honoreil, and in the com mon glory we shall win as Americans there will be plenty and to spare for your forefathers and for mine, [Re newed cheering]. FARM NOTES. . >~i PTam shoots grafted upon wild plum stocks do well The annual woo) dip of Washington Territory is over 8,000.000 pounds. . Texas fever is reported in Missouri, but only a few casoa have been heard of up to this time. To properly keep straw and hay in stacks the stacks must be constructed so as to shed water. The editor of the Orange County Farmer, trained his tomatoes to poles and they grew six feet high. A very successful western dairyman says he has only one ration for his cows, and that is crushed oats and bran. Every farmer must know what kind of swine breed well and are wanted in the markets. That is the kind which can be bred with profit. Six thousand Perchoron horses have been imported into this country, first and last. Of these more than 1,000 were brought over last year. Three-fourths of both branches of the legislature of South Carolina are farm* ers. The number of lawyers and pro fessional politicians is very small The sweetest and best-flavored pork in the worid is produced on the island of Maderia. The hogs there subsist mainly on fruits, nuts, grass, and roots. It is estimated that 50,000.000 eggs are consumed every day in this coun try, or about one for each inhabitant, which includes, however, those used in the arts. A tract of land on the shore of Cay uga Lake, near Canoga, N. Y., has been leased to Rochester parties for the raising of frogs for the New York market Comb honey may be ripened by plac ing it in a dry, warm room properly ventilated. If placed in a damp room it will receive moisture, swoll, and burst the capping. The value which competent judges have assigned the various features of butter is as follows: Flavor. 25; keep ing qualities, 20; texture, 25; color, 15; appearance, 25; total, 100 points. The exports of frozen meat from New Zealand are stated m the London Econ omist to be about 700,000 carcasses of mutton annually. The business is con fined mostly to the winter months. It is estimated by those who have made the subject a study, that the losses occasioned by insects injurious to agri culture in the Uaited States, reach "the enormous sum of $400,000,000 every year. A pound of Minorca eggs wili require only six eggs, while with some othor breed eight eggs aro necessary to a pound. This shows the unfairness of selling eggs by the dozen instead of by weight Young stock, once allowed to run down, never fully recover from the ef fects thereof. Of inferiorfeed and lice the first generally brings the second. Poof feeding is scandalous; vermin add ed it is brutal. The use of oxen for doing farm work is said to be more general in Connecti cut than in any of the western states. Nearly all the plowing, harvesting, and drawing manure, wood, and stone is done by oxem The coming buttermaker, according to the National Stochnan, must have a clean mouth and breath as well as dean clothes and a clean apron, be honest neat smart level-headed and able to keep accounts. The white trench is regarded as lbs best variety for planting on farms. It bas great vitality, and grows very rapid ly. As the trunks are straight they make good fence posts and supports for sheds. Tl>e wood is good fuel, and makes the best quality of charcoal. Horses kept in stables will be all the better for a run in the barnyard an hour every day, where they will not only exercise, but roll in the straw and clean themselves. Stable-kept horses need some extra grooming, but their improved condition under this manage ment wili repay you. Do not aliow stock, especially work horses and milch cows, to drink ice coid water. To take the chill from wa ter costs so little that it is hardly to be considered in the expense account Some of the most advanced etoekkeep eis now w?l not allow any of their stock to drink ice-cold water. Several joultry keepers recommend snucr-kraut as winter food for fowls. They state that they will cat it in prefer ence to any kind of jrrain, and that they prefer it to fresh cabbage. It is easily and cheaply prepared, and can be pre served in molasses hogsheads or in any kind of che:ip barrets that aro wa ter tight Horse-breeding in Victoria has re* ccived a d?cidai impetus from the In? dian demand. In one fortnight three cargoes of between three and four hun dred horses were sent from Melbourne to India.

Many farmers 'nave ascertained that it is more advantageous to have colla dropped in the fall than in the spring.

It g:>^3 under many names but it is "essen tially the same complaint Hospitals and private institu tions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of lifo in the United States is de creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark The majority of sui cides, committed without ap parent reason, or under so-called "depression of spirits,". are t really prompted by nervous prostration^ which is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros perity. They wreck manhood's strength and woman's useful ness and beauty. Every one should know the causes. -What are they ? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless ana lawless; eating and cuinkmg; the in tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and straggles of pov erty; the use of narcotics and stimulants; cur fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our * desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour's pleasure or success. So we burn life's candle at both ends and till the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng lish, Nervous JJyspepsia, as it is seated in the Serves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being inroeded or des troyed, the whole oody, nerves included, is literally starved; even when there is no emaci ation to tell the sad story. ? I\ervou3 prostration sends out its warnings:?headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain ; wakct?ilness ; loss of aprrf ti tt? an d dienst with food; loss cf mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx iety without any assignable reason: eructations ; bad breath: foul mucous on the teeth ; occasional giddiness ; palpitation of the heart; sal lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban donment of the habits and cus toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shaker Extract of Boots (SeigeVs Syrup) to cure the miscliicr already cone. This freat remedy, prepared by the haker Community of Ml. Leb anon, N. Y., is especially adapt ed to eradicate Kervous Dys pepsia, r. To do this it acts directly ami gently but power fully upon the disordered stom ach, liver and kidneys, restor ing their tone and vigor, pro moting the secretion cfbiie, ex pelling waste matters from the system,and purifying the blood. Upon the nervous system Shaker Extmcl($dgeV<3 Syrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition. * It is safe to say more nerv ous dyspeptics have been re stored by it from the depths of misery to a fresh enjoyment of life and labor than by any or all other forms of treatment bined_ : .

The city of Mexico was the scene of j festivities on the occasion of the un veil- J ing of u statue to the last Aztec Km- | peror of Mexico. The statute was al- ! tu (tel covet cd :\hh flowers by descend-. ants of the old Aztecs. The Aztecs in Mexico still preserve their purity of blood to a great extent, indeed they are less mongrelized than any other race. They are of a strong type of character. Juarez, who drove cut the French and executed the unfortunate Maximilian, is said to have been of pure Aztec blood ; and he owed much of his success to the patriotic ardor of his native race. It is no wonder that to day the Aztects re member the cruelties of Cortez and the Spaniards, and go back to Montezuma and Guatcmozin with tender memories. Some recent denunciations of pugil ism have revived in print the speech John L. Sullivan made when the au thorities of New York City interfered with his joint debate with Faddy Ryan: "The dudes Jay each other up playing foot-ball, and the women go out and watch 'em pound each other; they kill ed two jockeys in one week at the Brigh ton Beach races; but the man that I licked the worst in Madison Square Garden was around drinking rum the same evening as chipper as a bull-ter rier. It ain*t a square deal."
