THE corner-stone was laid last Thursday.

The day was perfect, and everybody seemed

perfectly happy. Tho number of persons

present was estimated al over 35.000, The

vast procession was an hour la pass .n ; a cer-

tain point, and the display was the finest ever

witneased in t he State. Twenty bands of

music, number iog 325 pieces, led the proces-

sion Io the place of formation, on Washing-

ton avenue, p lay ing that glorious old tune.

"Hal l Oolnaibla. : ' This alone was woith a

day ' s travel to see. The speech of the Hon.

W m . A . Howard was one of his best efforts,

and the ceremonies at the laying of the

corner-stone passed off io the most perfect and pleasing manner .

A man la G r a n d Rapids, was taken with

the panic the other day and went to the bunk

and said be would have money or hair . His

deposit was a clean $1000, and the cashier

gave him a $1000 bill and told him to go io

be—nee and never bring hit stingy little

dried np odoriferens soul inside that door

aga in . The man ihen asked tho cashier if h'<

would be so k ind as to do a little sum for hiin

In division and give him numerous quotients

out of that S1000 bill, " fo r heavens sake."

whereupon the cashier Informed the depositor

that he wouli'. do no such th ing , but nothing

would please b lm better than to knock him

into complex ftactions with the stove poker.

The depositor then backed out to the side-walk

and waltzed nil over town in Eearch of small

bills, crossed over, passed right and left back,

balanced to every partner he met, and linaliy

went home j u s t in time to cheat himself out

o f t h e a d v l c u nnd assistance of five hundred

boys Who congregated behind him and

shouted a t t he tep of their voiccs "here you

RATS.

T h r l r P o l U l c i t l n n d Mi l t tnrjr H l i t o r y The last number of t be Cathol ic

Magazine contains an exceedingly in-te res t ing art iaie on tbe history of rats iu E u r o p e :

T h e late inunda t ion of the Seine, which caused so many disasters, occa-sioned one of which the re had been no expectation. In en te r ing tlie sewers which open in to the river, the waters drove an immense n u m b e r of ra ts , who were thus carried in to tho houses t ha t s tand upon the quays or in their neigh borhood. The houses were completely overrun by these hor r ib le creatures . I n t h e R u e Saiute Ju l i en le Pauvre , in one day one hund red and forty r a t s of enormous size were destroyed.

Now, the quest ion is, whence d id the ra t s come which in such numbers in-vaded our shores ? Wi thout designing an historical course of ratology, there are many detai ls which might be com-municated regarding the origin ol these creatures, which are of a very interest ing n a t u r e : a rare book upon the historical curiosi t ies of Par is , pub-l ished about the midd le of t h e last century, and o ther works by erudi te scholars, supply m u c h information on the subject .

The legions, which were so uncere-moniously dislodged thfi other day, came f rom the borders of the Caspian Sea. B u t before speaking of these foreigners, a few words are in order a b o u t the brown rat—a ra t which is almost ex-t inct , in consequence of the war which fo r a hundred years they have been compelled to carry on with the red, or Asiatic rat .

T h e brown ra t was himself an emi-g ran t ; his reign was by r ight of con-ques t , not of bir th. H e came with the barbar ians f rom the nor th . As the surface was occupied, there was a cor-responding occupation beneath i t . There was tho ra t of t he Goths, the rat of t he Vandals, t he ra t of tho Huns .

The brown ra t wap the r a t of t he Vandals. When ho came to France the re was no one for him t o dis lodge iu order to find room. Tho Gauls were not infested by any individuals of th i s k ind, and m u s t therefore have been ra ther surprised nt the appnarance of this unknown visitor.

At the s igh t of the ravages b y which he first betrayed h i s incognito, i t might have been supposed t ha t h is coming was an immedia te visi tat ion of divine just ice . A passage of Gregory of Tour s tells how the inhabi tan ts of Par is , who could not account for this subterranean invasion in any rat ional manner, sought i ts explanat ion in a fable. Thei r town of Lutet ia , they said, had always been secure f rom fires and the a t tacks of h u r t f u l animals, by the protection of a god to whom they had offered homage, bu ry ing certain images in a consecrated place. Un-for tunate ly , in d igging a sewer, one of these holy images was displaced, and then these h u r t f u l animals took pos session of the town, and it was ravaged by fires.

Once master of the soil, tho b rown ra t s moved n o t Thev only sent an army of occupation in the sui te of Wil-l iam the Conqueror , when he went to invade E n g l a n d ; and these English ra t s also found means for making an i r rupt ion into I re land. Tho Irogs, so abundan t there , provided a delicate morsel, and they feasted upon thorn with so good an appet i te t ha t one fine morning the whole croaking populat ion hud disappeared. The ruts, fail ing their provisions, d isuppeared iu their tu rn .

Toward 1047, short ly before tlio F roade , there was a rumor in Pur is that a new kind of rat had suddenly appeared, aud dis t inguished itself not only by its ravages, bu t by tho desper-a te buttles it waged with the brown rut, t be master of the soil. Tho new com-ers were of an iron-gray color, and on th i s account were called vulcans.

Tho surmulot , the nice which now reigns, t ha t te r r ib le animal which can-not be drawn from Montfaucon, and i t is found will hold good its place in t h e quar te r s of the markets and the Pala is Iloyal, d id not arr ive till a hund red years later.

In the vear 1725, there were ter r ib le ea r thquakes in t h e countr ies on the borders of the Caspian Sea. From t h e dep th of the abysses suddenly opened from the bosom of the mountain in labor, what came fo r th f R a t s which were large nnd fa t , and armed with formidable tee th , and with their long red hair had a terr ible appearance. They advanced in immense battal ions, and their arr ival in Askalon in the au«

t umn of 1727 was remarkable . Noth-ing s topped them, not even rivers, for they are good swimmers. They e i ther passed tho Volga or took possession in legions of the vessels which they found there. O the r s pushed on iu an oppo-site di rect ion. A whole a rmy moved s imul taneouslv toward Siberia , and having entered the l i t t le town of .Tuikh, mastered it. Tbe town was then taken by assaul t . Tho at tack took place nt •i o'clock in the evening, and a quar te r of t h e town was given u p by tho con-quered to the conquerors.

H e d isappeared , and his existence is now one of the myths of the sewers of Pa r i s and London .

The Moon and Fuel .

The Pa l l Mall Gazet te speaks as fol-lows of a cur ious supers t i t ion : House-bou lde r s who a re laying in their stock of coal for the winter will do well to s tudy the moon, which is believed, in some quar ters , to exercise no small in-fluence on fuel stacked or stored a t cer-ta insensons. T h e S k y e correspondent of the Cornish Telegraph ment ions that , d u r i n g the fo r tn igh t which began on the 10th of last month, t he people of Skye were busy s tacking thair pea t s anu secur ing their Winter firing, be-ing anxious t o complete the opera-tion while t h e moon was waning.

" A power of smoke " is all tha t can be expected f rom peats stacked unde r a crescent moon.

An Intel l igent Monkey.

From the New Orleans HcralJ. At the hall of Hope No. 3 fire engine

is a l i t t le menagerie, where specimens of most animals are kept , from a bear down to a mosqui to—snakes aro the only exception to the rule, bu t still t he boys insist tha t these animals are sometimes found in their boots. Among tho number of the beasts is a monkey of rare talents and possessing a most accomplished education. He is a general favori te in the neighbor-hood, and walks from house- top to house- top every morning to see tha t t he sleepers ih tho garre ts are nil up in t ime. Ho is withal f ea r fu l ly and wonderfully made, and seems to know it, as he scrut inizes himself regular ly in a mirror, with an evident t ickl ing of sat isfaction, as he combs his hair and shaves himself with the sharp ends of h is nails. The other doy a l i t t le child, scarcely able to walk, wandered ou t on the car t rack, while the monkey stood watching it with a vigilant eye, and manifes ted some signs of anger tha t chi ldren should t h u s bo left to them-selves on an open thoroughfare . Sud-denlv a car came dashing up. In ano ther moment it would rush over the child, as the dr iver had his a t tent ion d iver ted in some other channel. The monkey had seen the danger, nnd, r u s b i r g out on the track, seized the chi ld , in an ins t an t dragging i t away, j u s t in t ime t o save it f rom an inevita-ble dea th .

T h e S u l l n n ot fllnrorco.

A cable te legram from London, under da te of Monday, announces tho death of His Imper ia l Highness Sidi-Mohamet, Sultan—styled by Euro-peans Emperor - o f Morocco. H e ac-ceded to the chief power in the year 1859. His reign was t roubled almost continuously by internal factions and factious outbreaks aud the d ip lomat ic pressure of several of the Old World Great Powers. His Majesty boro the sovereign title of " Lord of tho T rue Believers," but was ordinar i ly styled b y his subjects Scld-na (Our L o r d . ) He marr ied in h is you th a French wo-man, Virginie Lante tn ie r , who subse-quent ly became Empress of Morocco. S h e is a native of Chaley, near Dole (Jura) , where she was born on the 20th November, 1820, in a poor cottage. S h e went with her pa ren t s in 1834 to Algeria, and the whole family were taken pr isoners by the Moroccans. Her fa ther was killed and her mother died a shor t t ime af terwards. T h e captors, dazzled by the great beauty of Virginie, spared her, and by a concurrence ot romant ic circumstances the Emperor ' s son—jus t now deceased—fell in love with her and made her his wife. The E m p r e s s has since sought out and brought he r three sisters to the Moroccan Court , to which they are at tached. An Engl ish Consular report , publ ished a few years since, on the homo condit ion and com-merce of Morocco, concluded with the following words : " W h e n the ru le rs of the country shall bo possessed of in-telligence and energy and guided b y a spiri t of justice, and shall evince some appreciat ion of tho benefi ts of civiliza-tion, Morocco may be expected to t ake a h igher place among commercial n a -tions ; bu t unt i l then i t s capabi l i t ies will cont inue to be d is turbed , indus t ry will languish and t r ade and commerce be rpaa lyzed . "

Postal Telegraphy, There is no sub jec t of greater im-

portance to the publ ic , where a reform is more imperat ively requi red or so easily effected, as in the telegraph.

I t is now' a monopoly wi th ra tes so h igh as to p reven t the publ ic f r o m using the te legraph, and reserves i t as a luxury to the rich or to the speculat-or, while only the large daily papers in the largest cit ies can afford it, and these form an alliance oflonsive and defensive with the Telegraph Company in opposit ion to every plan of reform.

Two systems have been proposed fo r remedying these evils—one by the Pos tmas te r General , who desires t o buy and operate all t he l ines of tele-graph. Th is plan is opposed by many fr iends of a re form ou account of the great outlay requ i red for the purchase and extension of the lines, and of the great increase of power t ha t i t would confer on the Executive.

The o ther plan was proposed by Gar-diner G. H u b b a r d , and adopted b y committees of tho Senate and House of Representat ives t o which both p lans were referred a t t be last Congress. By this system telegrams will be leceived and delivered th rough tho postoffice as le t ters arc everywhere, and as te legrams are abroad, t ransmit ted to their place of dest inat ion by telegraph, by par t ies owning and operat ing l ines of tele-graph, at ra tes fixed by Congress—as let ters are now t ransmi t ted over the rai lroads. T h i s p lan requires no out lay by the General Government, involves no liabili ty for buying, building, or op-era t ing lines, and will not increase the powers of the Executive

The rates proposed are 25 cents for a telegram of 25 words each 500 miles, if i t is t ransmi t ted by day, and each 1,000 miles by night—a reduct ion of over 50 per cent, on the present rates, and an increase of 80 pe r cent, in the length of the te legram. Tho press rates are equally reduced, and are so low as to permi t every weekly paper to receive a te legraphic summary , br inging i t s news down to the h o u r of its issue.

Th is plan proposes as great a reduc-t ion as the o the r can aflord, and gives a cheap te legraph to the people wi th -out cost to the Government . Competi-t iou has been tr ied and abandoned, and, by the fai lure of t h e independen t and compet ing companies, has resul ted in placing all t ho impor tan t lines in the count ry unde r the control of a sin gle interest , of which Mr. Vanderbi i t is the representat ive.

I t remains for Congress to say whether tho te legraph shall b e made an auxiliary to the postoffice, freely used by the people, or the ally of tho railroad monopoly, wielded only for i ts own interest .

Our Wheat Crop. Tho c rop repor ts of September , re-

ceived in the statist ical divis ion of tho Depar tmen t of Agriculture, present an average ol 95 for the condi t ion of t h e wheat crop, as a whole, wiiich is a b o u t tho same as tho Sep tember repor t of 1872, while the present area in culti-vation is much larger. T ins is a man-ifest improvement over last year in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New Jersey . The average of Illinois, Iowa, ond Michigan differs a l i t t le f rom those of 1872. California and India are less favored. Tho s ta tes in which a more than average yield of wheat per acre, as indicated by the depa r tmen t roporta. a r e Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Oregon iu the west, and New Je r -sey, Pennsylvania , Connect icut and Massachuset ts in t h e east. Tho in-creased b read th in whea t will place t h e total q u a n t i t y in several o the r s ta tes above the usual p roduc t , and gives a larger aggregate fo r tbe crops of tho Uni ted States , than was secured in 1872. The qua l i ty is generally superior . I n most Iccali-ties grain yields bet ter on spr ing whea t than was expected. I n New York 33 counties out of 35 reported, make r e -tu rns of an averaRe of poor yields, a n d every sou thera s ta te fails to make a n average crop. Tennessee claims an

i average crop upon a large area, as does Maiue. Arkansas, Ohio and Michigan

' come very near an average yield. Il l i-nois r epor t s indicate seven per cent , less t han an average, aud Ind iana a n d Kentucky st i l l greater depreciat ion. The facts presented by c o r -r e sponden t s show conclusively t h a t crop deter iorat ion f rom climate causes is great ly increased by careless hus -bandry, and the crop fai lures are in n great manner avoidable. Much of t h e loss is t raceable to low vitality, r e su l t -ing f rom imperfect preparat ion of soil and deficient cultivation of so i l I n all pa r t s of the count ry and especially in the south, records of sk i l fu l cul t iva-tion of wheat, show repeatedly doub le the usual averages.

An Old Bible.

The Meridan Call s a y s : " A t t h e Adams Express office is a Bible of date 1764, for which an owner is want-ed.

BT KMNOR BROOKS.

Grandma liked old-fashioned ways and things, nnd never would consent to have a " g a s s y coal s tove" in he r room, but insisted on keeping her own " F r a n k l i n " there, with its big folding doors ready for a fire inside oi them, s u m m e r as well as winter, for, as she said, " There is of ten a cool evening in summer when a l i t t le fire is p leasant . " She always has p len ty of company such evenings, for when twil ight came t h e l i t t le ones flocked in there f rom the out-door play, del ighted to cudd le down before the pleasant open fire and l is ten to grandma 's s tories of old times. When the " F r a n k l i n " doors were wide open the br ight fire-light glanced in every corner of the room, so t h a t g randma ' s fingers, aided by the pract ice of many years, could easily guide her k n i t t i n g needles a round the l i t t le s tock ing tha t was always her evening work.

" G r a n d m a , " said Jason , one even-• ing, when they had qu ie ted down a f t e r

a very noisy romp, " G r a n d m a , tell u s a b o u t the t ime when you were a l i t t le gir l and used to go a f te r the cows t h r o u g h tho woods, and chased the b e a r . "

" O h , " said grandma, "will you never be t i red of hear ing tha t old s to ry? You m u s t know it all b y hear t by th i s t i m e ; you hud bet ter tell i t t o m e . "

" O h , no, no, g randma, please do tell u s tha t one ," cried the other chil-dren, knowing f rom experience t ha t coaxing would br ing grandma to terms.

And grandma commenced : " W h e n I was a l i t t le girl i t was all woods a round here, there were no houses except the log house we lived in, aud there was not ano the r ono nearer than the Cooper set t lement , which was three miles away. I r emember the day we came here. I was ten years old then, a b o u t as old a s some of you are n o w ; my brother Alex was two years young er t han I . My fa ther had come on a few weeks before the family, to bui ld a house for us to live in. H e and Uncle J o h n had cut down trees aud bui l t a house of the logs, and had made a chim-ney of wooden slats, The side ne-it t h e fire was plastered with clay. The hea r th , of large, flat stones, was not laid yet , bu t fa ther buil t a roaring fire on the ground a t the bo t tom of the chimney, and soon there was ready a nice bod of coals for mothe r to

1 p u t t he supper over. Uncle J o h n had caugh t a nice spot ted t rout iu the creek to have ready for our suppers , when, all t i red and hungry , we reached ou r new homo. Mother p u t t he fish iu t h e frying-pan on tho hottest coals and some potatoes to roast iu the ashes, a n d a short-cake in tho bako-kettle. " O h , noth ing will ever taste so good to mo aga in , " said grandma, " a s the suppe r did t ha t n i g h t . " We were all so hungry , and so happy, and so glad to be al together again. I can remem-be r jus t how the fish smelled as]! sat on t h e board floor, with my feet hanging down to the ba re ground where the a tone hear th was to be, watching m o t h e r as she moved the f rying-pan f r o m ono place to another on the coals, so tha t it would ge t the best heat .

" I remember, too, looking u p t h r o u g h the roof t ha t still lacked sev-era l boards at one end, and seeing the threat branches of t h e forest trees wav-i n g against t he blue sky far above our house . They seemed so high, so far away, t ha t 1 thought Heaven would bo v e i y n e a r if one could but c l imb to t he i r tops . "

Grandma here lapsed into a reverie which lasted so long tha t the boys be-came impatient , and were great ly re-l ieved when she roused herself with a s igh, and c o n t i n u e d : " T h e r e were b u t few Ind ians here thou ; they had most ly gone fur ther wes t ; those tha t s t i l l l ingered along our creek lived by hun t ing and fishing. They would not work, and they would steal, so wo were all glad when they wanJerod oil" in search of their tr ibe. I th ink they were Cayugas. T h e deer and bears were mostly gone, t o o ; they retreated, a s did the Indians, before t h e white man. Fa the r aud Uncle J o h n snot two deer and a bear the first year we l ived here, bu t they never saw any a f t e r t ha t first year. I never saw a boar iu the woods b u t once, and I ll tell you about t ha t now.

My bro ther Alex and I had to go a fo r t he cows every night . T h e y were J" pas tu red in the w'oods, and sometimes | s t rayed a mile or two from the house.

One of them hud a bell ou her neck, so t h a t hear ing it, we might know in what direct ion t o look fo r them, as they always kept together—two cows and a l i t t le black hei icr .

One n ight Alex and I were so busy at play tha t we forgot oil about tho cows unt i l we were start led by fa ther ' s voice, asking u s where they wore. Great was our consternation to find that it was post sundown, and get t ing darker every momen t . We begged of fa ther to go with u s ; we wore af ra id . Bu t ho said, 'No , th i s will teach you a lesson you will not forget, you must go alone. There will no th ing hu r t you . '

" Wo hurr ied off th rough the woods, s t a r t ing at every shallow we saw and every sound we heard . By the t ime wo found the cows it was so dark tha t wo could not have told old " white-face " f rom tho o t h e r only she had the bell. The black heifer was missing ; wo hun ted awhile, and, not finding her, concluded t o go bank wi thout her, as i t was gett ing so dark wo were afraid we could not find ou r way home. We s tar ted the cows along, and had gone but a few rods when a black object s tar ted out f rom a clump of under-brush and followed on behind the cows.

" H a l l o o , " said Alex, " t h e r e ' s t he heifer a f te r al l ; I 'm glad she ' s come ; fa ther would have scolded us for leav-ing h e r . " When tho heifer hoard his voice she s topped, turned, and looked a t ns, us if she was incbued to come toward us ins tead of going h o m e ; but wo shouted a t be r with all ou r might , for wo didn ' t want to lose her again, and she turned and t ro t ted a f te r t he cows. Several t imes she s topped iu the same way, and wo hod to about and drive he r along. I remember t ha t Alex said, " N a n , wha t does ail t ha t he i fe r? 8eem.i t o me she acts q u e e r . " When we came to the cleared land, t he hei fer s topped again, nnd when we tr ied to drive her far ther , she growled at us, and. tu rn ing suddenly , c l imbed r ight over the top of a high rai l fence, and wo heard her run, growling, off in to the woods!

" I t ' s a b e a r ! " exclaimed Alex; " l e t ' s run !" aud run we did. We raced the cows home at such a rate t ha t the j ing-ling bell b r o u g h t mother ou t of the house to " wonder what in the world those chi ldren were racing the cows f o r ; it would jus t r u in t h e but -t e r . " - Bu t te l l ing ou r adven ture soon cut shor t her r ep roofs ; she hur r i ed us in to t h e house aud fas tened the door and windows, and as soon as fa ther and Uncle J o h n had s ta r ted off wi th guns and lantern to see if i t really had been a bear . Sure enough, by the igh t of the lantern they found bear

t racks just where we told them to look, and they t racked it a couple of miles into the woods, then, losing the track, they came home. A few days a f te r we heard tha t a neighbor, who lived several miles away, had shot a young black bear, and I always felt sure i t was the one Alex a n d I tried to drive liome with the cows.

Grandma paused , b u t t he chi ldren said, " Oh, d o n ' t stop, do tell another s t o r y ; tell a b o u t the ra t t l esnake that Uncle Alex k i l led ." B u t g randma said, " N o ; n o more th i s t ime. Good n i g h t . "

B u t Jason was not to be dismissed i i such a s u m m a r y manner. " Was t ha t a t r u e story, g randma " he said.

" C e r t a i n l y i t was t r u e , " grandma answered; " i t happened r igh t here on th i s farm, more than fifty years ago, when I was a l i t t le g i r l ," and g randma s ighed again and wiped her spectacles thought fu l ly , remember ing t ha t she was the only living member of the family who began pioneer l i fe in West-ern New York.

Studies and Sports .

The London Times says : •' Spor ts may be made in many ways a valuable t ra in ing. T h e y may teach a boy mod-erat ion and self-command and self-denial, as well as courage and love of active exert ion. And yet, with the strongest sympathy for all this, we m u s t repea t t he opinion t ha t things have been allowed to go too far. The course followed has been so easy that i t has, not unnatura l ly , been followed a l i t t le to excess. There need be no opposit ion made between studies and sports . The two can go on very well t o g e t h e r ; t h e y will oven aid cue an-other , if b o t h are proper ly pursued. B u t this wili involve the sur render of much tha t is now sough t for. We mus t give n p the aim af te r a profes-sional s t a n d a r d of m e r i t ; wo must evou esteem it a degrad ing th ing to reach it . Boys m u s t bo taught t ha t tho principal use of gomes is as a relaxation in the interest of a f t e r - s t u d y ; t ha t both s tudy and sport a re of value only for the effect they have ou the mind and char-acter, and for tho degree iu which they fit a man fo r a f te r life, and tlu.t in all th i s s tudy is of an impor tance qui te infinitely grea te r than sport . The rem-edy against t he present s ta te of things can only be gradual . A sounder publ ic opinion will soon show itself in altered tone among both boys and masters^ Boys as a body will never love books ; bu t they will always honor those dis-t inctions which they see are honored by their pa ren t s and by the world. Spor ts may be t rusted l o flourish with-ou t much cncoHragement ; but s tudies need nil t he fostering care which can bo employed, and even thou illness and s tup id i ty will oflen be too s t rong for all the effor ts of the schoolmaster. I t is not much to ask t ha t ho a t least should bo fa i thful to h is high t rus t , and tha t , in any controversv of s tudies aud sports, he should s tand out as the uncompromiaing holder of s tud ies .

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

W h y P o l n l o c * K n n O u t .

A New York farmer says : " Some ono asks why it is tha t po ta toes so soon run out . There are two grand reasons. There are b u t few potatoes in a hill tha t are tit for seed. Some are overgrown, coarse, rank, and will not t ransmit the original qual i ty . Others are uudergrown, and no t fully-developed seed.- A po ta to of medium size, perfec t in all its parts , with change of g round , will p roduce i ts like o d in-finitimi. The o ther reason, cu t t ing potatoes between s tem and seed end continually, will demoral ize the insti-tut ion. I t requires the stem and seed end to make perfec t seed. If cut , cu t lengthwise. Single eyes will r u n out any potato. There is no o the r seed t ha t will bear mut i la t ion l ike the po ta to ; tho only wonder is, t ha t it does not run out completely.

Prof i t i n F c c r i i n g S l i c e p .

At a recent mee t ing of the F a r m e r s ' Club iu Batavia, Genssec county , N. Y., Mr. George B u r t presented tho fol-lowing definite s ta t is t ics relat ive io the c ist and profit of feeding sheep for m a r k e t :

H e paid for 200 sheep for fa t tening, $915; for keeping two months , $64; e ight tons hay, $16 per tou, $128; four loads cornstalks, $16 : 148 bushels corn, 60 cents per bushel , $88.60; one barre l salt, $3 : interest ou money in-vested, $20.75. Total , $1,227.55.'

J a n u a r y 4th he sold 171 sheep at 8 cents per pound, $1,522.40; 28 a t 6i cents per pound, $171.79; one pelt, $1.50, total $1,706.69; profi t on the 200 sheep, $478.14. Mr. Bur t ho lds tha t sheep in winter should be kept in small flocks, less r a t h e r than more than 65 iu a flock, iu yards where they can have free access at all t imes to w a t e r ; and they should bo kept f ree f rom all d i s tu rb ing or excit ing causes ; t ha t open sheds are be t te r for them than a close barn, and tha t i t is best t o feed grain to them whole.

T n m c Grasncs .

If wo were asked what, in our opin-ion, was most needed by the farmers of Kansas, we should unhesi ta t ingly answer, more tame glass—more blue grass, orchard grass aud t imothy, and more clover. Dur ing the months of May aud J u n e there aro probably no grasses tha t will fa t ten cat t le more rapidly than will t he prai r ie grasses indigenous to the eas tern half of Kan-sas, but from J u l y 1 to November 1 they do not fill the bill.

F o r dairy purposes , part icularly, we mus t have rich, nu t r i t i ous food the yea r th rough . The flow of milk mus t be kept up to make the bus iness profit-able. By seeding to the t ame grasses and to clover, we can have a supply at a reasonable cost, t ha t keeps the cows a t a ful l flesh. We would recommend to all who can do so to make the i r ar-rangements as early as possible for seeding more or less tho coming season. A mixture of two or more varieties is p robably tho be t te r plan, b u t make a s t a r t of some laud looking towards the-work .—Kansas Farmer.

Waring s a y s : Very much of the value aud availabil i ty of the horse de -pends upon the equal i ty and quan t i ty of his food, and on the manner iu which it is given to him. Too much food at oue time, too l i t t le at another , food ol improper k inds or in a bad s t a t e of preparat ion, i s the foundat ion of one-half t he ills t ha t horseflesh is he i r to. There is no worse economy than the s t in t ing of food, or the a d -minis t ra t ion of bad food because i t is cheap. Also, the re is no more waste-ful practice than the giving of too rich and expensive food. Nei ther is there any greater source of loss iu con-nection with the keeping of form hor-ses than the neglect to which they are systematically subjected. The l iorse, even iu tho rudes t state, is of a s o m e -what delicate organizat ion. His p o w -ers are very grea t—greater t hau is generally supposed ; b u t in order to the i r development and to their long endurance, it is necessary tha t he bo fed with tho greates t care and with an overwatchful j udgmen t . P robab ly the capital invested in fa rm horses in tho Uni ted States would go twice ns far— tha t is the animals would last in a use lul condit ion twice as long—if they were thoroughly well fed and cared for.

Kai l s .

Every fanner who has occosion to drive a nail into seasoned oak posts knows its l iabil i ty to bend and break. If the point be moistened in the mouth it will usually drive more kindly. Oil is still bet ter , bu t then i t is inconven-ient to dip each nail separately into it. Another point observed is tha t boards become loose eventually f rom the rust-ing of tho nails, which, communica t ing to tho wood, causes no t only an en-largement ol tho noil hole, 'but the wearing away of the nail itself, render-ing the fence or tho bui ld ing shaky and insecure. Thin may be prevented by heat ing any rough grease unt i l it smokes and theu pour ing it over the nails to bo used. The grease will pene-t ra te the pours of tho iron, and cause the nails to last, wi thout rust ing, ou iti-definito per iod. Besides t ins no t rouble will theu be experienced in driving them in to the hardest wood. The reason is that the coat ing of grease prevents contact by air, and con-sequently oxidat ion. Oxygen is the great des t royer of irou, and mois ture is t he inducing cause. Anything which | is kept f rom contact with the air is preserved indefinitely, and if it is kept dry the eflect is immeasureably the same. Pa in t upon bui ld ings prevents the contact of air and moisture. If t he whole fence cannot be painted, the heads, at least, of t he uails should be touched therewith.

S n v i n g Heed Corn .

A practical farmer writes to Moore's R u r a l : " Tho t ime to pick seed corn is in tho fall, as soon as tho husk is about halt ripe. Pu l l off all the husk, bu t leave enough to tio with another one ; then hang them up in a dry, airy place, leaving them thus until wanted for plant ing. By following the above for several years, I have succeeded in im-proving my corn far beyond my ex-pectations, and I feel amply repaid for all my exertions when I see my corn is now a b o u t two weeks earlier than any of my ne ighbors who got it on the slip-shod plan of picking seed from tho crib. While they are re-p lant ing I am plowing my corn, because seed saved in the manner described seldom fails to grow."

Another f a rmer wr i t e s : " When husk ing wo select the largest and full-est ears, leaving some of the husks ou t h e s e ; we braid into bunches of a dozen each and hong t h e m u p in the garret on tho rafters, where they will be protected f rom the cold and wet. Corn, when preserved in this way, has never failed to grow when planted. Many of our neighbors who took their seed f rom t h e crib last spr ing were obliged to re-plant the i r fields with coru preserved iu this manner , because their corn was frozen by the severe cold of last w i n t e r ; bu t ours sprouted and grew nicely aud promises to be a fine c rop ."

C u r i n g C o r n - F o d d e r .

Corn-fodder is of ten rendered of l i t -t le value by the careless and slovenly manner in which farmers manage. I t is usually cu t off a t tho ground and set u p iu small s tooks : much of it of ten falls down before h u s k i n g time, and becomes weather-beaten. When it is husked , t he s ta lks composing the s tooks are bound in sheaves and set u p iu masses abou t the field, with no care to exclude rain, tho tops of these shooks being entirely wi thout bauds to draw them to an apex. So they are left for weeks, while every fall of rain passes th rough them f rom top to bot-tom ; and t h u s by the t ime they are car ted to the barn , t hey be-come mus ty and of l i t t le val-ue. On t h e contrary, ra in should be as careful ly excluded as from cured hay. A correspondent says : " As a general ru le I prefer topp ing my corn and s tacking the top stalks in small parcels, set u p in the field among the corn the same day, d rawing them to-gether at t h e top to a sha rp point with-out cap sheaf. They cure porf-ctly in this way, even if t he weather should be unfavorable, and dif fus ing pleasant odor through the barn when fed to stock in tho winter, l i t t le inferior to t ha t of the best cured hay. On th is kind of fodder I propose to keep my horses and catt le du r ing the coming winter, having cut no hay, nor intend-ing to provide any ."

Ft tc t s for t h e I l o n a e h o l d . As it is now the season for canning,

preserving, &c., we give, along with o ther recipes, a few which are " in sea s o n : "

MUFFINS.-This is a splendid recipe for muffins, and I make them nearly every morning for b r e a k f a s t : One p in t of flour, two well-beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of but ter , two tablespoon-fals of yeast , and what sweet milk it will cake t o make them a little ihieker than gr iddle cakes. Mix them over n ight and bake them ou a but tered gr iddle in muffin rings.

APPLE TAPIOCA P L D D I N G . — P e e l n n d core enough apples to fill a deep pud-d ing dish, sprinkle c innamon m each apple where the core came out, add some fine white sugar, a l i t t le piece of but te r , then about a tablespooufnl of tapioca to each apple, over t h e whole, and fill u p with cold water. Bake un t i l the app le is tender . I t is a very nice and simple dessert .

TOMATO S O C P . — C o o k t h o r o u g h l y , a s for canning some tomatoes ; season with pepper, salt and bu t te r . Theu pour into a small tureen some boil ing m i l k ; st ir in together a teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in a small quant i ty of cold milk, and the tomatoes. These should be st irred in s imultaneously with the s o d a ; odd some rolled crack-ers and serve immediately. Th is is equal to oyster soup.

CANNING TOMATOES.—Pour b o i l i n g water over the tomatoes to loosen the skins. Remove those : drain off all t he juice t h a t will come away without pressing hard ; pu t them in a ke t t le and hea t slowly to a boil. Your toma-toes will look mnch nicer if you re-move all the hard pa r t s before p u t t i n g them on the fire, and rub the pu lp soft with your hands. Boil t en m i n u t e s ; d ip out the surplus l iqu id ; p o u r the tomatoes, boiling hot, into cans, and seal. Keen in a cool, dark place.

TOMATO PRESERVES.—Take t h e r o u n d yellow variety as soon us ripe, scald and peol them ; then to seven pounds

' ol tomatoes add seven pounds of white sugar, ami let them s tand over n ight . Take the tomatoea out of the sugar and boil the syrup, removing the scum. Pu t in tho tomatoes and boil gently fifteen or twenty m i n u t e s ; remove the frui t again, and boil unt i l the syrup thickens. On cooling, pu t the frui t into tars and pour s i rup over it, add a few slices of lemon to each jar, aud you will have something to please the most fast idious.

PICKLED PEACHES — T e n p o u n d s ol fruit , pa red , four and a half pounds sugar, one q u a r t of vinegar, maee, cin-namon, and cloves to taste. Lay the peaches in tho sugar for an hour, drain

1 off every drop of sirup, and put over tho fire with about a cup of water. Boil un t i l the scum ceases to r i se ; skim, p u t in tho frui t , and boil five minutes . Take out the peaches wi th a perfora ted skimmer, and spread upon dishes to cool. Add the vinegar and spices t o the s i rup, boil fifteen min-utes longer, and pour over the f ru i t in glass jars . Pears and other f ru i t s can be pickled in the same manner, with-out peel ing.

What is in the Depths of the Sea I W h a t do we know about things ton

miles down in tho s tupendous valleys of the oceau ? On land, here, the veg-etation of the Alpine base is not that of its s u m m i t ; tho wild goat skips npou the peaks of tho Himalayas, but tho rhinoceros has h is loir miles below. Our ocquaintanco with the mysteries of the deep mus t be absolutely and l i ter-ally superllcial, for we may assume tha t its mountain tops alone are revealed to us, and these dimly, and that to its valleys our senses can never penetrate . All tho crea tures t ha t disport themselves ou or near its surface, are more or less famil iar t o us ,—the whales, the porpoises, and the sharks, t ha t come tumbl ing over i ts undula t ions much in the same way t h a t buffaloes come floundering over the waves of the prairie. The conntless b roads tha t feed on its shallow banks, and are t aken therefrom to feed s h a l -lower mortals, are all within our grasp, and we grasp them. On the edge of the iceberg sits enthroned the walrus, and we sa lu te h im as the elephant of the sea, and esteem him uuspeakably for the commercial value of his ivory tusks. T h e huge sea cow has no mystery for us. We woke tho harmless creature up from its bed of seaweed on tho isolated rock, and having wished it a good morning, we stick spears into it, and convert i t to the noble purpose of gaiu. T h e magnif icent sea-unicorn, k ing of tho Arctic waters, is no s t ran-ger to us, which is j u s t so much tho worse for him. We have cognizance of all these sea creatures and many more, t he range of which appears t o be in the upper regions of the deep ; but what can we aver of the mys t ic realms t ha t lie far, far down abou t the bases of t h e great submar ine mounta in ranges—mountains compared wi th which our h ighes t dry land peaks are possibly no th ing bu t mere hillocks ?

I h e r e is a sea monster known to fish-ermen as the Horned Bay, o monster most fear fu l in itself, but interest ing as an i l lus t ra t ion of tha t which is, and a suggestion of tha t which may be,— a veri table dragon of the sea, whose lateral fins extend like wings, aud fre-quent ly measure more than th i r ty feet from t ip to t ip. This voracious fish will sometimes make i ts appearanco among the swimmers iu the surf, and taking oue under eaeii arm. so t o speak, descend with tLem t o dep ths unknown. Unt i l the oceau shall have been dried up, or dra ined off, HO h u m a n being can ever explore the s t range grottoes into which th i s h ideous man-eater glides with h i s prey. The great fishes aud sea beas ts th.i't are known to u s may bo crea tures of the uppe r deep alone, never descend-ing below a certain depth , lest they encounter far more hideous and power-ful mons ters than themselves, which dwell at the bases of marine moun-tains leagues far ther down. One can easily imagine a polypus anchored

, there below in some d is t rac t ing valley, of which it is lord and tyrant ,—a stupendous mass of bloated matter , grasping at everything within a circumference of half a mile, and absorbent of all living creatures under the size of whale. In the China Sea there arebivalves—whether oysters or mussels I am not c e r t a i n - t h o shel ls of which are largo enough to contain a man proper ly dbubled up. If a mons ter like this inhabi t comparative shallows, there is no limit to one's imaginings of the bivalvular enormit ies at the bo t tom ten miles far ther down.—At lan t i c Monthly lor October.

A Mysiorlous Work of Art . Tho editorial correspoudence of t h e

Bal t imore American describes ono of the mos t myster ious works of art , uow exhibi t ing in Paris , t ha t has ever been witnessed there . I t is a diorama of the siege of Paris , and all Par is is running wild to view it. There is some species of optical illusion in connect ion with i t tha t no one seems able to u n -ders tand . Al though a paint ing, it so closely resembles nature tha t on sud-denly enter ing the hall t he specta tor i s bewildered, and invariably compla ins of dizziness as his eye scans the in te r -vening scenes and the d is tant hor izon presented to view. T h e bui ld ing in which the diorama is submi t t ed is cir-cular, and abou t 300 feet in d iameter , with a glass dome. On enter ing it t he visi tor passes along a da rk passage, to what seems the centre of the bui lding, and then finds himself on a circular p la t form ou the top of a veritable hi l l of earth, strewn with cannon ball aud shell, the object of the art ist being t o place h i m in the fort of Isay, sur round-ed on every side by the incidents of the siege, with the city of Paris and i t s monuments , domes, and steeples in tho dis tance. By closer examinat ion it could bo discovered tha t the nearer ear thworks of the picture, aud even some of the cannon, for a dis tance of

' 30 or 60 feet from the edge of the p l a t -1 form, is veritable earth and u n d o u b t e d cannon, aud real willow gabions and

I sand-bags, but the exact spot where the substant ia ls ended and the canvas begun was uot so easily detected. T h e whole seems to be a piece of l edgerde -main iu ar t tha t has never been at-tempted before.

AN American has beeu misbehaving himself in Germany. H e represented himself to be an officer on Gen. G r a u t ' s staff, aud, a rmed with forged credon-tiids, collected large sums of money f rom nearly all the pe t ty dukes and pr inces to help build a gigantic mon-umen t in memory of the soldiers killed in tho war of the rebellion. He was a f t e rwards arrested and found to be a man named Beatly, who has long lived in the Western States.

T H B VACANCY. The death ot our honored friend

nnd Representative in Congress,

Wilder D. Foster, causes a vacancy

in this district, aud a special election

will be held on the 4th day of November next lo elect a Repre

aenlative for the unexpired term. Numerous candidates aro already in

the field, Kent County having

named a round dozen, while the

other counties of the district arc

doing proportionately as well. We

arc inclined to think however that

the people of the district ought to

concede that, to Kent County, really

belongs the remainder of the present

term. And we aro satisfied that tho

voters of tins county view the

situation in this light, many, aud

perhaps a majority, of whom would,

were this election to be held at the

close of the full term, give the

most favorable consideration to the claims of other localities. Among

the names mentioned in our county

we find those of some of our most worthy men, men whom we would

delight to see honored. They have

bold offices of public trust, served the

people faithfully, and enjoyed the

people's confidence and highest

esteem. Prominent among these is the Hon. Byron D. Hall of Grand

Rapids, the present Attorney-General

of tho State, an indefatigable worker

and a man of unquestioned ability.

Mr. Ball's oilicinl record is such as

to warrant cur statement. For nearly

four yens , ho was the Prosecuting

Attorney of this county and filled his position with credit to himself

and profit to the county. Following

this tlie people saw fit to elect him

to tlie Slate Senate, nnd while

tlim*. ho proved himself a

ni'<.-t efficient legislator, :\ safe

adviser, and a man entitled to

the liigln^t respect of those with

whom and for whom he labored.

His position in the Senate was a

leading oiie, n-.'! when his term

closed, the (leoiih; of not only his

district but the whole Slate, f nJorsed

his official car' or by .•umouncing him as .i lii candidate for Attorney-Gen-

eral. Ib- was oloctcd, and the inter-ests of the State have been carefully

looked after liy Mr. Hall in the ca-

pacity of Attorney.Gpneial. Last

winter when the que<11 on arose in

the Legislature reluive lo giving

about 1,000,000 aciesoi swamp land

in the Upper Peninsular to Messrs.

Railroad & Co., he opposed it, be-lieving with the Republican party as

emphatically expre«8'jd in its plat-

form, that there should be no more

land granted to railroads. In his

early businMi experience Mr. Ball

became thoroughly acquainted with

the rivers and harbors in this Con-gressional district, and this, in con-

nect IOP wilh. his professional life,

places him where be is enabled at

oocu lo know the wants and necessi-ties of the district. We know bim to

be an active, industrious worker ; a

man possessing great perseverance

and sound judgment, and should be

be chosen to fill the vacancy occa-

eioiiffd by tbe death of Mr. Foster,

we bespeak for him a prominence in

Conurefs thai will do great credit to

hi# '•onsiituency.

THK Detroit & Milwaukee Kail-road Company paid its specific tax into the State Treasury September 24th, amounting to$26,671.30.

H K X K V M I L L E D , book keeper for the firm of Wilhington, Cooley & Co., of Jackson, has been arrested on a charge of embezzling S'2,000 from his employers.

MR. I'eler Hiller, of Chicago, who went to Traverse City to buy wood, claims to have been decoyed into a wilderness up there and robbed of B900 in greenbacks and a watch worth ^50.

THE Grand Traverse Hirali says that on the 12th ult. Mr. Board man, of Chicago, purchased at the United States Land Office, in Traverse City, 8,000 acres of Land on Beaver Island at $1.26 per acre.

Miss Alice A. Birney, yonngeet daughter of Judge Birney, was mar-ried at Bay City on the S4lb ult. to Frank E. Black well, of New York. Tho wedding was decidedly one of the hymeneal events of the season.

AT tho . recent session of the Monroe Circuit Court, Matilda Bernan was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to the House of Correction for seven years. Lurina Vandecear, for adultery, was sent for two years.

THE foundation of the Catholic Church at Albion was laid four years ago. and on the 26th the corner-stone was laid. Large numbers of Catholics from all pans of the State were present.

MR. D. A. Stimpson, of Flint, A. W. Hamilton, of Fenton, Wm. Alderman, of Slurgis, and 1). S. Rector, of Nib's, all deaf imit^s and graduates at the Flint Asylum have gone to the N.'^.onal Deaf Mule College at Washington, where they will go through a fmiher course of instruction.

G R A N T J A C O H S , of Bay City, was sentenced to the Slate Prison for 10 years for having assaulted, with th-intent to kill, Henry Woods, some weeks ago. '1 he same evening a woman named Blanche Bursha, in grief at the departuie of Jacobs, swallowed a large dose of morphine, and was with difficulty saved from self-destruciion.

THE annual address of the Char-lotte county Fair was delivered by Hon. Schuyler Colfax, to an audience of at least 6,000 people. Though the day was somewhat raw and windy, he made himself understood by the entire audience. The effort was Colfax-like—masterly—and can-not fail to stimulate all to better thought and action.

worth in the market twenty per cent more than the amount of currency in circulation. In addition to this, the loans of the bank, which are usually larger than thu deposits, are directly responsible to the depositors, and besides each share holder is rosponsi-ble to thu depositors to the amount of his share [see Sec. 12. Nat . Banking Law.] This affords security which is far better than any other—even secreting money in one's house.

An attempt is being made to increase the yolume of currency in large commercial centres, by desiring remittances from country debtors of currency by express. This may be a good thing for the Eostern cities, but if largely conceded to will be destructive to home business pros-perity, inducing all onr transactions to a barter basis; and should be resisted by all business men in their own defense. W e need all thu cur-roncv we have to pay for farmers' produce for shipment, aud farmers need il for fall purchases of mer-chants, and many of us need it for all pay ifiauiring notes and other in-debtedness. Tho only sufe course is to carry on business in the regular legitimate channels, paying Eastern debts by drafts, and keeping our currency for home necessities.

sensible editorial on the Financial

Crisis: Favorable reports are now coming

in from all quarter*, and it is confidently expected that the crisis is pas t Banks that suspended a week ago are again doing business, with the public confidence in their stability undiminished, and we hear of but one National bank that seems to have irretrievably failed. This result is another practical proof of ihe soundm-ss ot the National bank-ing system. Under thu system in operation before tho war, the late financial panic would have caused such destruction to banking boiisos, as to have entirely destroyed public confidence, and brought wide spread and sudden ruin to every section of the country, almost paralyzed liusi-ness, destroyed manufactures, and required years to recover anything like the former degree of prosperity. Now it is not likely that legitimate business will sensibly suffer; there will be a suspension of many specula-tive schemes, and fewer new rail-roads projected, with the failnre ot some lines already in progress ; but this was inevitable, and on the whole, will work no injury to tho country at large.

J10W EVA STANLEY BOARDED AROUND.

In the lliriying village of HolljUiorn there were (as is common to such places) a church, pofltofflce, a couple of stores, and a district school, the said school being taught by a young Udy who had a widow-ed mother and brothers and sisters to assist in supporting.

For ihe sake of economy Miss Eva Stan-le} "'boar ed ri und" among the scholars, ami was considered a paragon among the teachers. Her father had been a respecta-ble mechanic, but died after about two years of i Iness, which bitterly impoverieh-cd the family. Eva had, however .she be-ing the eldest), received a good plain edu-cation before the great calamity came upon them, and, noble-hearted ami unselnsh, began her work of assisting in the support.

The last week previous to tiie holiday vacation she had been boarding with a Mrs. Carpenter, who was making gigantic preparations for guests she was expecting from New York. *

" You never met my brWiers, Eva," she said, and than began to give the pretty young teacher a description of them. " There's Sam, George and Johnny, the youngest; and such times as they have get out here and rus'icnte, as they call it. Uut, dear me, I don't get much rest or peace, for they are like a lot of boys let out of school. Such tricks and pranks no one ever saw. The last time they visited me all together John and Sam actually cut a pane ot glass Irom the window and id l -ed George out of my best room with snow. You see there is always a regular strife for that particular room, for the bed is a spring one, and they say they don't sleep on any other in the city. But they don't get It this time, that's certain, for I intend to

eep you in that room, and so end the con-troversy. I am so afraid they will break or ruin something that 1 am glad that you are here. It may keep them iu check a little.

" I hml just as soon occupy some other room, Mrs. Carpenter, and do not wish to acommodo your brothers—have uo right O do BO."

" No, you shan't, Eva," peremptorily ex-c aimed her hostess; "and what is the use

I' your going home vacitlon week ? You cau siay here just as well as not. aud do up

our sowing on my machine. Your moth-er has got enough mouths to feed, I guess,

nd won't miss yours'' The subject was dropped, and the entire

'i 1 usehold retired early, for on the morrow the brothers, young, ardent and full of life, were to lie there But without sending any word of Iueir Intention they bail con-cluded lo take the evening train, which would land I hem at Holly thorn alxmt bed-time. George and John did so, aud when

afely m ated In the cars began to speculate bout the absence of Ham.

" No reason on earth, why he should not ave been along," said George. " No, for he told mo this morning he

would certainly be nn hand,'-" said John. " I can't ni tke ll out, unless he has taken

the live o'clock train by mistake." " Not a bit of It," laughed John, who

fancied he understood the entire program, me. "I t Is more likely he took that train on purpose to get Into Hannah's spare bedroom, und maKc us lake up with straw ticks aud feathers."

" I didn't think of that, but I reckon you are right. We must contrive to get him out somehow.''

"Bet your life on that." The brothers put their heads together

and laughed merrily over some scheme lot oatwittTDg Sara, and accordingly, when the train reached Hollythorn about eleven o'clock, they approached the house of their sister In a very stealthy manner.

Climbing the fence lu the rear, they soft ly opened a window and obtained access to the pantry, where they demolished u nice pie and a quantity of doughnuts. Then, with appetites appeased, they re-moved their boots and prepared to examlue

the " best room." stole alongftli hall.which was dimly lighted by the moon, ascended the stairs and reached the door. The faint rays of the moon disclosed a chair piled with clothing, and they could distinctly trace the outlines of a form beneath tlie bedclothes, and had not the remotest idea but that Sam was enjoying sweet repose upon Hannah's best bed.

A few whispered words were exchanged, and then, as softly and lightly as If snod down, they drew near.

"All ready?" whispered. Quick as thought they seized upon the

form of the sleeper, bedclothes aud all, bore it swiftly down the stairs, out Into the snow, and were just about to deposit It in a huge drill, when H shrill scream broke the tillness of the night, and oh ! horror—It

was that of a woman ! and in their con sternation they dropped their burden plump in the middle of a drift.

" Good heaven !'' exclaimed George, " It sn't Sam, but some woman, as I am a sin-n r, and she has fainted. Run and call Hannah.''

With admirable presence of mind he lilted ttie limp form of Eva Stanley and carried her Into the house. But her cry had already been heard, and the inmates came rushing into the lull just as he ap

eared. " George .' John I for goodness sake

what does this mean, anu who have you there ?" a=ked Mrs. Carpenter In a breath.

" Blessed If I know," said George; " thought It was Sam, so we concluded to five hiin a douse of snow for getting into the best bed and trying to euchre us. Quick 11 believe she has fainted."

" Jus t like you! " scolded Hamiah, as she assisted in depositing Eva once more

pon tbe bed from which she had been so uuceremonlously taken ; " beginning your tricks upon each other before you fairly got into the house. Clear out now."

Long before she wnsfdone witth her tirade her discomfited brothers hail betaken themselves down stairs, where they almost went into hysterics over the joke.

"A pretty kettle of fish ! " said George, rolling over the floor and letting oil peal after peal of laughter.

" I should think it was," replied John, holding his sides. " Oh ! my. But wlm' the diekeus is to be done about it, and who do you suppose It is, George ? ''

"Some guest of Hannah's, of course, and young and pretty at that. I don'i know how it is with yon. but I feel parti-cularly small and extremely cheap—would sell myself at a low price."

"Cheap?" roared John; "cheap? 1 would actually give myself away this blessed minute, and throw something to boot. What we are to do, I can't say; but I believe I shall dig out of this place and get back to the city before morning. I hain't got the courage to face the music, so I'll get up and go."

He began hastily putting on his boots, and would have put his threat into execu-tion but for the appearance of Hannah, who at once asserted her authority.

" Your are not going a single step," said she; " but I don't wonder you teel ashamed of yourselves. What on earth possessed you Is more than I can tell."

"That ' s right, Han; pitch in, scold away, I'll take ary amount jusi now, for I am as meek as a lamb. But who is it we have played so shabby a trick on ? " replied George.

" Trick! I should think it was. Why it is Eva Stanley, just as nice a young thing as ever lived. She is our school teacher, and this is her week to board here, and I knew you boys would be squabbling over that room as usual, so I put her in there, little thinking you would come home In a stealthy manner,

" E v a Stanley? Whew! A pretty school teacher!' ' and repeating his sister's words he gave a lugubrious groan.

" Has she recovered? " questioned John, vainly endeavoring to restrain his laughter at the wry faces his brother was making.

" Yes, I soon brought her to; but I don't believe the poor girl will ever get over the fright. She said that, tho tirst thing that she knew she was being lifted up and carried out, and she was so much alarmed that she couldn't utter a sound; but the moment the cold air struck hor she realized she was being abducted, or some-thing of the kind, and had just time enough to utter a scream when she fainted. It Is loo bad. I shouldn't wonder If she had taken her death, being dragged out of a warm bed this time of night and dropped Into a snow drift in that fashion. No wonder she cried, poor thing.''

" Cried, did she ?" repented George, with a groan.

" I should think she did. I just took her In ray arms and let her have her cry out, while I explained to her how she happened to be mistaken for Ham and become the victim of your mad pranks."

'• That was neat In you, Han. I'm awful glad you hugged the poor thing. I wish you had given her a brotherly squeeze for me—'pon my honor I do. Oh dear! I'm m sackcloth and ashes from this time henceforward and fo revr , " replied George, with anothsr dismal groan.

"And how on earth do you expect us tr. stay and take the consequences?" asked John, beginning to look serious. " I am for taking myself oft' instantly. I had rather face a masked battery than this pret-ty teacher, after making such fools of our-selves."

" I don't care If you had,'' answered his sister, Indignantly. " The only way Is to brave It out, liotli of you, and apr loglze for your rudeness. She is not a bit stupid, but pleaaanl and merry, and no doubt you will have a jolly laugh over the affair."

" But Sam ? Mow the deuce are we to get along with him? You know well enough, Han, we shall never hear the last of it from him; and that It will be brought up ut times and In all places."

" I f you two can keep the secret, I'll find a way to silence Bridget, and It is a subject Lva will not care to have discuss-ed, aud fortunately my husband Is away. So go to bed, and rest contented."

She showed them to the room she had intended for them to occupy, and soon all was quiet again.

•Meanwhile Ihelr brother Sam had reach-ed the depot a few minutes too late; he found the train he was to have taken gone, but upon consulting a time-table he ascer-tained that another train started two hours later, and so decided to take It. He figur-ed to himself as he impatiently crowded into an empty seat nnd was being whirled along at a rapid rate, how snugly his broth-ers had ensconced themselves in the best room, which by right belonged to him, iie being the eldest, and consummated a plan to g'.'t even wilh them.

Sometime after midnight he was depos-ited at Hollythorn, and reaching his sis-ter's house he scouted around until he found away of entrance Into tho kitchen, where he deposited his luggage and remov-ed his boots. Then he quietly stole up slairs and opened the door of the best room. Sure enough, thouglit he, " my line chaps, you are in clover!'' for there were not to mistaken signs of the room before occupied. Garmentj were lying upon chairs, and the bed was pressed by slum-bering forms.

To think of coping with their united strength by dragging them forth, was not practicable, but there stood the pitcher of water, and he knew that a good dousing with the icy fluid would bring them out quick enough.

" If I can't have my old qiurters." he he chuckled, "you shan't, that l a m de-termmed on. Ho here goes.

He lifted the pitcher, (cpproaclicd the bed, raised it high, and suddenlv dashed the entire contents upon the sleeper !

Such a torrent of screams as he had nev-er Itefore heard rang through the house, and before Sam could collect his scattered senses, door after door opened, and Han-nah, George and John rushed in—In scanty apparel—Hannah with a frightened look oil her face, and a lamp In her" hand, that re-vealed the entire scene.

There, sitting up In lied, with her hair dripping like a mermaid, her nLdit dress deluged, her face colorless and looking ter-rified, was the young schoolmistressr and there was Sam, with tlie empty pitcher in his hand, the very picture ol imbec !llty, staring about like an Idiot at Miss Eva and the havoc he had made.

Hannnh, George and John instantly comprehended the situation, and the latter, at the command of their sister, dragged Sara away, while she assisted tlie drenched and terrified girl to dry her clothing, and then took her to her own room and bed, explaining for the second time the mishaps of the night.

" I'll keen you with me now. mv child," sho said, though with difficulty" keeping back her laughter. " Those boys are nice-ly come up with, at any rate ; and If it wasn't for your having been so terribly frigntened, and the way my best bed has been used, I wouldn't care. They do nothing when they come home but study up some trick to play upon each other; and," continued she, by way of apology, " they are so confined in their offices ami stores during most of the year, that they let entirely loose when they arc out here. But you are safe now."

Hannah kissed her chirge and went down to see about the boys/ who, as soon as they were fairly shut up in the region below, began to thoroughly appreciate the the joke ; and now that Sam was as deep iu the mud as they iu the mire, gave no quarter.

" I'll be blamed if I know what it all means," said Sara, looking In confusion at his brothers, who were rolling aud kick-ing in convulsions of laughter.

"Wai t , " replied George, "until Han comes, and see If you don't find outl"— and he gave way to another pe il.

S im had not sralled, and sat looking Ihe very picture of discomfort and perplexity, but answered :

" For heoven's sake, hold on, boys! I'm willing to admit that I am badly sold— going "dog cheap to the highest bidder; but hold on long enough to tell a fellow what it means.''

"Means? Of course I will," continued George. " It means that you have s'olen like a thief into Miss Eva Stanley's cham-ber—who Ls the lady teacher ' boarding around; ' that this is her week here : and thinking It was your humble servant and Johnny snug in bed, you attempted to drown us out. and made a grand mistake. How do you like it, Sam ?"

" I confess I see tlie point; but can't see tho joke. It is a mo«t outrageous shame.''

At this juncture Hannah came In and began rating them soundly, thereby letting out tho whole story It was Sam's turn then to laugh. He struggled manfully to retain his gravity, but the whole thing was so supremely ludicrous that he was compelled to join his brothers.

Miss Eva was not visible at the break-fast table the next morning, and Hannah announced that she was sick with a severe cold ; whereupon George groaned out aud called for a handful of peas lo put In Sam's shoi-s. while that gentleman looked very contrte, and John "declared he wanted to shoot hlnifelf. But Hannah had the unruly crew under her thumb for once In hcrlii'o. and had the satisfaction also of seeing them behave with something of dig-nity. They appeared to never forget that there was an invalid in the house, aud went on tip-toe about; and Sam. who seemed to take the entire responsibility upon his shoulders, sent off to New York for clioiiv fruit and flowers, which he induced hla sister to convey to the young lady with the most abject apologies and regrets.

In a couple days Eva was »ble to come down stairs. She was lookin quite pale, but lovely, and of course dlv inely, when presented by Mrs. Carpenter to her three brothers, who behavecl quite well, consid-ering the unpleasantness of their situation.

But Sara, who had broken the ice by means of his presnts, was most at ease,and by virtue of his age and experience consti-tuted himself the propitiator, nnd was constB' tly on hand to offer Miss Eva a thousa d nameless attentions ; and before the wee it wns out John declared in confi-dence to Hannah tha t " Ham was done for.''

" Gone under completely !"' echoed George wilh one of his dismal groans, " Just think of ll, Han—If It had not been for that pitcher ot water Ham would have beeu heart-whole this blessed minute. The fellow meets lots of girls much prettier than she every day,and with lots of stamps too. They tay pity Is twin sister to love, and I believe i t . '

" Sour grapes ! '' whispered John, puck-ering up his mouth.

Hannah sang Eta's praises aud secretly commended Sam's choice She recom-mended marriage to all of them as the only sobering process she was acquainted with. They do not seem inclined to follow the advice, notwithstanding Sam's happy lot with the pretty schoolmistress of Holly-thorn.

She oflen reminds her brothers-in-law of her uuceremonlous Introduction to a snow-drift al the dead of night, and they retaliate by the shower-bath given her by Ham.

THE NEW FIFTY C E M STAMPS.

T h e R a m o r of the C l r c u l n l l o n o f n Counter fe i t Oontrai l lc te i l .

Mr. George B. McCnrtee, Superin-tendent of the Bureau of Printing aud Engraving, ut Washington, authorizes a contradiction of the statement that tlie new fifty cent stamp has been conn terfeited. In the published account setting forth that such a counterfeit bus been issued, it was stated that the bogus notes could be detected from tlie genuine by the absence of the lower portion of the letter " p " iu tho signa-ture " F . E. Spinner," aud which should appear like a small half-circle, just above the border line, in the upper right hand corner of the note. Mr. McCarteo explains that some of the genuine notes lack this little mark for the follow ; n g reasons:

Upon xamining the new fifty cent note a mall capital letter will be ob-serve.1 immediately under the words " Fifty cents," and jus t above the signature, " F. E. Spencer," these let-ters, which aro known as the check-plate letters, run from A to N. When the notes are printed fourteen are laid down on oue plate, in two rows of seven each (iu other words fourteen impres-sions are taken at one time), the top notes in each row being lettered re-spectively A and H. In cutting or separating the notes, all excepting those bearing chock letters A and H will have the bottom of the " p " al-luded to cut from the signature on the preceding note, und showing just above the border line iu the upper right hand corner. Notes A aud H, being at the top, no such mark appears on them, and hence oue note out of every seven will appear without this mark.

In all the Dexter head not^s the lo-calized line of blue fibre appears very distinctly at tho left hand end of t e back of the note, where it has beeu massed in a small space, purposely left clear by the engraver in order to show it to a greater advantage. I t does not seem t i a t any amount of wear will be sufficient to prevent this fibre from be-ing easily and quickly discerned, aud hence should any counterfeits appear they cau be readily detected from the abseucfc of this mass of fibre. I n re-gard to the green ink, on the back of the notes, appearing a little darker in some than in others, this is accounted for iu tlie fact that in making a transfer of the plates ono may be rolled u p a little heavier than another, and hence takes up a little more ink, but ns soon as this is detected the plates are laid aside und new ones prepared.

Uncle Daniel Drew. J o h u Pa ii I'd Saratoga k-ltcr to T r l b n n n .

Passiupr Congress Hall last Sunday I noticed Daniel Drew, tha t fine old

" Pagan sucklcd ou a creed outworn," sitting ou the piazza. There was a look of thought ou a weazened, wrink-led face, aud I wondered what was the subject of his self-communings. An additional ell to the " i n s t i t o o t " at Madison, or some gigantic coup in the street? On this quiet Sunday uiorn-mg what was uppermost, think you, in tho old man's mind, God or maraiuon ? Possibly, gammon. Uame ho hero to purge himself clear of "Quicksi lver ," and get " Waybosh " out of his blood ? I am told he shuddered when the room clerk proposed to pu t him iu a " northwest corner," and turned appeuliugly to Bouthgate for an apart-ment in tho wing. All he wanted, he said, was a little a-erie, and he was willing to bury all old issues. Oh, Daniel, Daniel! though many a time and oft the thread of my financial plans has been severed by those fatal " sneers " of yours (only comparable to the ones of Atropos), still is my pity stirred in your behalf. Trembling on tho edge of tho tomb, and liable to topple over into it ero your mercury rises much, my prayer is that the quicksilver which you will undoubt-edly carry with you may then not go up so suddenly as to be wholly beyond your control. For, if you could uot succeed in keeping it clown, what an unhappy demon you would bo. Oh, Daniel, Daniel! in the rod dies tree which flares for us all in tho future, will it not be better for tho far-seeing Feejee, who salted down a lean mis-sionary against a coming famine, than for theo who so often hast salted the pillars of thy church, plastered the preachers in their very pulpits, so to speak, with " securities," which in tho end proved ashen nnd unsatisfac-tory as the apples of Sodom? But sit you there in the door of Congress Hall, with that kindly eye and enticing smile which did once beguile ray youthful fancy, my Daniel; sit you there as long as you please, but your wrinkles will multiply beyond the powers of fingers to computu if you wait for mo to come within reach of of your loelers. Possibly in the world whither we aro both hastening—you with a start, which which iu this cauo I am willing vou should have—possibly iu that world you may tempt me to fly across' tho gulf aud exchange the "crown upon my forohead und tho harp within my hand " for a few mis-cellaneous securities which you will probably take along, bu t on earth you get mo by tho gills uo.er again.

Trade Between Churches. F r o m t h e Chicago T r i b u n e .

A curious transaction was recently consummated in Charloston, S. C.

.The Baptists of that city owned a fino Ichurcb edifice worth $(il),flllO. but being [hard up offered it to tho Methodists for $20,000, The Methodists eagerly grabbed at the opportunity. Subse-quontly the Baptists repented of their hasty offer, and wanted to withdraw it, but the Methodists refused, threatened damages, and compelled u transfer of the pioporty. Thereupon tho Baptists got indinuant, and their orgau, the Church Union, having quoted the do-tails, adds : " I n regard to all uf which we have simply to say that to purchase for $20,000 what was worth $00,000

Jas unfair ; to force the bargain when io losers wished to recede was un-ind; and to grab in this way from

hue denomination for another was un-christian." The Methodists, however, looked at it in a different light. Bishop Haven, describing tho transaction, says, " D i d n ' t the happy baud shout

is an old adage, aiwl we shall try

and prove tlie adnge true as re-

deavor to '3o as clean work after

the newness has worn off Every shrewd business man

can buy goods for Cash at about

the same price, and no man can

buy and sell goods without a

profit Hence, when a mer-

chant advertises that he can sell

his goods a great deal lower than

his neighbors, every sensible

person knows that he is prom-

ising that which he is unable to

perform.
