The grass needed cutting Very bndly,
and in the interest of economy, Mrs.
Middlerib told lier son be might btny at
borne j-esk'rdny morning and cnt the
gruss iu the front ynrd. Anything suited
that young student better thau school,
and be received the announcement that
he was detailed for fatigue with great
glee. Once only it occurred to him that
it would be the proper thing to be very
sad aim dejected at the very prospect of
locing a half day of study, and he Baid :
"But I hate dreadfully to miss all this
morning's lessons. "
His mother, glancing at the expression
of intense concern which covered his
fnce, paid that she didn't think of that,
and perhnps lie bad better go to school
und cut the grass after school hours.
Tho alacrity with which the young
man moved to table the motion cut off
all further debate, and tho original mo
tion to stay at home prevailed.
Now it was Master Middlerib's inten
tion to cut that grass in about thirty
minutes and have the rest of the morn
ing to himself. As soon as his father
was out of the house, therefor", he be
gan operations. In the first place he
hunted up the sickle. This was a task
of about an hour and a half. During
t lie search for that agricultural imple
ment he found a steel trap, three tops,
n hatful of marblos, an old gun lock, a
baseball, his father's pocketknife, a ball
of kite string, an assortment of fishing
liues and hooks, a funny stone, a brass
pistol barrel, his Sunday hat (on top of
the woodshed), an odd skate, the carv
ing knife, a pair of scissors and a Sunday
schoubook. All these discoveries, with
the exception of the last, required a
great deal of attention and care after
the articles were found, and by the time
he had them all bestowed where he could
readily find them when they were want
ed it was nearly ten o'clock, and he re
membered that he had taken the sickle
down town to get sharpened, and could
not for the life of him remember what
shop he took it to. This necessitated a
journey to the neighbor's and the bor
rowing of a sickle. Then he was at last
readv for work and, incited to activity
by the warning voice of his mother,
Master Middlerib sought the shadest
corner of the front yard and, seating
himself in the easiest attitude, began op
erations. ,
As he poised the sickle for the first
stroke, however, he noticed that it was
not sharp. Returning to the woodshed
he instituted an elaborate search for the
whetstone. He found everything he
ever heard of in his life except a whet
stone, and returned to his task with a
fire-brick, a piece of sandstone, a three
cornered file and a horse-rasp. He
tried all of these in succession, and
soon had the sickle in the condition of
n circular saw turned wron aside out.
Finally the appearance of the sickle,
assisted by the voice of his mother, and
tho fact that the sun was so high there
wasn't a shady place left in the front
yard, warned him it was high time to
begin. With bitter thoughts of the
good time he had expected to be hav
ing by this time, and mourning over
the sad fate of a boy who had to work
every minute he was out of school, he
raised the sickle high in the air and
made a vigorous sweep at the tnng!ed
grass.
The blade flew off the handle and
went whizzing out into the grass. This
necessitated another search, which Mas
ter Middlerib pursued like a pointer
dog, groping about on his hands and
knees. When he found the blade he
fixed it in the handle, and then went
into the kitchen to get a piece of string
to tie tliem together.
"Have you got all that yard cut ?" in
quired his mother.
" Not quite, "replied the truthful son.
Then he went baek and resumed op
erations. Ho cut the grass a short time
iu the orthodox manner. Then he got
down on his knees and one hand, until
ho ran the point of the sickle into his
supporting hand. Then he caught hold
of tufts of grass with his hand, and
used the sickle liko a scalping knife,
uutil ho cut two of his fingers. Then
ho went into the house to get his various
wounds bandaged and to see if it wasn't
nearly twelve o'clock. And when he
went back to his work he had barely
time to cut his knee when the dinner
bell rang, and a happier boy you never
saw. His injuries kept him a'wny from
school that afternoon, and the keen eye
of envy itself couldn't detect the spot in
the front yard whore he had cut the
grass. liurlinfton Hawkey e.
A ('oat Lined with Money..
A war correspondent writes : "Comedy
goes side by side with tragedy here as
everywhere, and even at a time like
this men can laugh. A resident, who
has come down from Eski Saghra, is in
a condition of much perplexity about
the means to be adopted for the recovery
of a stolen coat. Anticipating evil times
in the Eski Saghra, the resident had
sewn up his money in the lining of his
heaviest fur overcoat, and with this
held himself ready to leave llie town
at any moment. Somehow when the
dreaded time arrived he missed the coat,
and had to come down here without it.
Walking about the streets of Adrianople,
he descried this very coat upon the
shoulders of a big Circassian, with whom
ho entered into humble parley for its
recovery, professing to have taken a
great fancy for it. . While he pretended
to examine and admire the fur he ascer
tained by touoh that his money remain
ed undisturbed. The Circassian de
clined to sell, and the man then put in a
claim as owner of the coat, and succeed
ed in bringing the 0 rcassain before, the
governor of the town. The governor
declined to consider the resident's claim
proved, and that hapless man is now fol
lowing the Circassian like a second
shadow, beseeching him, with perpetual
iteration, to strike a bargain. It rests
on Rochefoucalud's authority that a man
can always enjoy the misfortunes of his
friends, and the friends of this especial
man seem to find some consolation for
their own sorrows in watching and
laughing at the countless ruses and
maneuvres with which his ingenuity
inspires the hunter of the eoat."
In the Jaws of an Alligator.
At Lake Charles, in the parish of Cal
casieu, La., a few days since, a most ex
citing scene was witnessed by a number
of people on the shore, tionie lads,
among whom was a boy named William
Haskell, were in bathing, when the
attention of all was attracted to the cries
of the latter, aud an alligator was seen
swimming in the direction of him. The
little boy not perceiving the approach of
the saurian, dived, and just as he reached
the surface thefopen jaws received him.
The alligator drove his teeth almost
through the boy's skull, making several
wounds in the scalp three inches in
length . The boy's comrade rushed into
the water and began a loud outcry, when
the alligator let go his hold and disap
peared. The , little fellow, although
seriously injured, will probably live.
Fall Fashions. -
The reproduction of old modes is ob
served. Mosaics patterns in rich goods are in
troduced. Bough knottings on fabrics is a novel
design.
The intermixtures of dark and light
grays are effective.
various shades of bronzes are produced
in fall goods.
Brilliant threads running over dark
grounds is a new design.
Plush-like intermixtures have an ex
ceedingly fine appearance.
Rough unfaced Roods gives promise of
being generally worn.
. Mixtures of silk aud wool, and also
pure silk fabrics have knotted loopiugs.
The prevalence for close fitting cos
tumes is carried to excess; this style
looks well on slender forms.
Worth's "stalactite" cloth in white
and pale shades is quite new in charac
ter; it is thin and semi-transparent.
Cashmere serges and mohairs still de
mand the attention of the fashionables,
and are made np a la mode.
Fashion admits of a large variety of
garnitures this season, and a profusion
of trimmings will bo the rule. ,
The clair de lune beads are very
"stunning;" their presence somewhat
dazzles, and hence, unless carefully
used, will give a "loud " effect.
Steel, jet, amber and English garnet
beads will figure somewhat largely this
and next season in the world of dress.
Their tone is that of festivity.
The fashion of buttons is very beauti
ful, and their finish artistic. The variety
is large, including French horn, pearl,
ivory, crochet, and faucet-cut buttons;
also, clair de lune metal buttons.
Shaws will be quite generally worn
during the fall season. The modes are
various, including all sorts of qualities,
from the costly elegant India Bhawl to
the "Chuddnh" house wrap, so com
fortable and yet bo stylish in the drawing-room.
In millinery the ruling fabrics are
plush aud satin. Of course velvet will
be used, as this chapeau cloth never be
comes passe, but nevertheless plush will
this season take the lead. Foliage and
plumes figure largely, aud all sorts of
cunning ornaments will be used in mode
chapeaux.
The shapes of hats and bonnets differ
rather artistically from former modes.
The brims are narrow, aud the crowns
both high and low. The coronet front
appears, and will no doubt be accepted
by the beau monde. Long ribbon
pendants at the back are favored. Gilt
edged hats are introduced, and clair de
lune garniture is affected.
Lace bonnet strings and scarfs are
going out of favor, narrow silk and satin
ribbons taking their place. These may
be tied in a small bow at the left side.
Pure white linen collars and cuffs will
be worn in street and house coHtumes ;
the cuffs wider, and in some instances
turned back all around.
Belts will be worn with street cos
tumes during the fall.
A Useful Wife.
We had been out to the graveyard to
bury Mrs. Pidgeon, and we were riding
home in the carriage with the bereaved
widower. While he sopped his eyes
with his handkerchief he told us about
her :
"In one respect I never saw h?r
equal. She was a manager. I've knowed
that woman that's lying out there in the
tomb to take an old pair of my trousers
and cut them up for the boys. She'd
make a splendid suit of clothes for both
of them out of them old pants, and a
cap for Johnny, and have some left over
for a rag-carpet, besides making hamlker
chiefs out of the pockets, and a bustle
for herself out of the other linings.
Give her any old garment and it was as
good as a gold mine. Why, she'd take
a worn-out sock and make a good over
coat out of it, I believe. She had a turn
for that kind of economy. There's one
of my shirts that I bought in 1847 still
going about making itself useful as win
der curtains and plenty of other things.
Only last July our gridiron give out,
and she took it apart, and in two hours
it was rigged on the side of the house as
a splendid lightning-rod, all except what
she had made into a poker and an ice
pick. Ingenious? Why she kept our
family iu buttons and whistles out of the
ham-bones she saved, and she made fif
teen pricely cJucken coops from her old
hoop skirts, and a pig pen out of her
used up corset bones. She never wasted
a solitary thing. Let a cat die around
our house, anil the first thing you knew
Mary Jane'd have a muff and a set of
furs, and I'd begin to find mince pies on
the dinner table. She'd stuff a feather
bed with the feathers that she'd got off
of one little bit of a rooster, and she'd
even utilize the roaches in the kitchen
so's they'd run the chum had a machine
she invented for the purpose. I've seen
her cook potato parings so's you'd think
they were canvas-back duck, and she
had a way of doctoring up shavings so
that the pig'd eat 'em and grow fat on
'em. I believe that woman could a built
a four-story hotel if you'd a given her a
single pine board ; or a steamboat out of
a wash biler ; and the very last thing
she said to me was to bury her in the
garden so's she'd be useful down below
there, helping to shove up the cabbages.
I'll never see her like again."
I don't believe he will either. Phila

A Crazy Engineer's Freak.
Last Wednesday night, Bays the Ni
agara Falls Gazette, the Great Western
railway yard authorities at Clifton were
surprised to see Larry Callan, an engi
neer on the line, draw out of the round
house, and instead of coupling on the
steamboat express, which he was to draw
to Windsor, started off with his locomo
tive for St. Catharines. The engineer
had been waiting quietly in the round
house and his fireman had gone to sleep.
He did not move down the yard for his
train when he was due, and a messenger
was sent for him. After being called he
started for the switch, but instead of re
turning for his train he pulled the throt
tle wider open and started off for St.
Catharines. The fireman, who, by this
time was thoroughly awakened, ventur
ed to suggest that they return for the
train, and in answer got' a short disquisi
tion on the relative positions of an engi
neer and fireman that was more noted
for its emphasis than its coherency. At
Thorold the fireman got off and the engi
neer went on to St. Catharines. At this
point he reported for orders, and in
obedience to a telegram from Clifton re
turned to the grade, when his steam
gave out, and he remained until another
engine and crew took him in charge, and
opened the track for the steamboat ex
press. The next day the engineer ap
peared as usual, but professed an utter
ignorance of the transactions of the pre
vious night, neither did he seem to un
derstand what had been the matter with
his mental organs. As a matter of course
he has beeif discharged from the road.
Seven pooplb were blown to pieces by
the explosion of a fire-works manufac
tory at Hamburg.
SHERIDAN AT SEDAN.
Graphic Description of a Cavalry Charge.
A correspondent sends the following
to the London Athenwutn : In : tho
Atwncrum I read a lengthy review of
Colonel Denisou's " History of Cavalry,"
and must say I was greatly interested
more particularly with that portion
Where Lieutenant General Sheridan is
mentioned having described the defeat
of a cavalrv regiment at Sedan. L at
once wrote to Sheridan on the subject.
After calling his attention to the book fa
Pcopy of which I regret I havo not yet
seen), and to your lengthy criticism, I
continued: " I should like to know if
you have been correctly quoted iu this
matter. If so, will you please to inform
me as to the place of the charge; also,
how it was that a line of skirmishers
could resist in facty destroy a regi
ment of Hussars f Were you in a posi
tion where you could see that which is
related as coining from your lips, or was
iti told yon by some officer who wns on
the skirmish line ? f I should like very
much to receive from you your reoolleo
tions of this affair. I am
afraid Colonel Denison has been im
posed ipon ; and it will require your own
statement to dispossess me of that be
lief. I write you in the interests of the
service, here and abroad, and have the
honor, etc."
In a very few days I received a letter
rroni the lieutenant general as follows
fry a,
" Headquarters
" Military Division of the Missouri,
" Chicago, June 23, 1877,
"Mr Dear Captain Yours of the
sixteenth inst. is just at hand. Lieu
tenant Colonel Denison's statement, as
quoted by you in reference to the charge
of the French cavalry at Sedan, above
and near the village of Flowing, is in
the main correct.
" I was watching the advance of the
German troops through a field glass
and saw the whole affair distinctly. The
fasts are as follows: The German in
fantry after passing through the village
of Flowing moved up a steep ascent with
a skirmish line in adwnce. Upon reach
ing the brow of the hill the skirmishers
came out upon a sort of plateau and
were at once discovered by the French
cavalry, a small brigade of which, say
from twelve to thirteen hundred strong,
was in the immediate vioinity. The line
had advanced but a short distance upon
the plateau when they were met by the
oavalry, which charged them. As the
cavalry came down upon them they were
broken into small knots or detachments
of men, of somewhat unequal Bize, the
cavalry having ridden completely
through the line; but meanwhile the lit
tle groups of infantry kept up a galling
nre upon the troops by turning to their
rear and constantly firing upon them as
they broke back and around their flanks
and back tlirough the groups of skirm
ishers toward the direction from which
they had come.
" No sooner had the cavalry fallen back
than the skirmish line reformed, and was
rapidly strengthened by some of the
soldiers of the main body, who, as soon
as they reached the plateau, saw at once
the perilous condition of their comrades,
and ran forward to their assistance. In
the meantime the cavalry, which had re
tired beyond range, promptly rallied,
and reforming with scarcely a moment's
delay, again advanced to the charge,
Once more the skirmishers received them
with a volley, and adopted precisely the
same tactics which they seem to have
been forced to do at first. Again the
cavalry broke through the line.but prac
tically accomplished nothing, for the
Germans poured in a withering tire from
their small knots or detachments until
the cavalry once more retired around the
flanks, having lost large numbers of men
and horses.
" During the time occupied by this
second attack the leading files of the
main body of the Germans, which had
naturally somewhat broken while mov
ing up the rough ground of the heights,
came out upon the plateau and hurried
forward with great speed to the skirmish
line, which now, from constant acces
sions, had become very strong; in fact,
almost a line of battle.
" Once more the cavalry rallied, and,
having reformed for the third time, gal
lantly came down at a charge; but their
valor was of no avail, for the Germans
met them with such a terrible and de
structive fire that they badly cut up tho
leading files, and completely broke and
scattered the French squadrons, who
this time utterly failed to break the line,
and were fearfully punished. With
scarcely any delay the German line ad
vanced, and pushed on to their objective
point.
" This action was plainly seen by
many officers, who were looking at the
battie, my aide, General J. W. Forsyth,
being among them."
The Lawyer and the Emetic.
A correspondent sends to the Man
chester (England) Courier the following
story: It happens that in one of the
principal streets of a certain cathedral
city there flourishes a chemist, and iu
another a lawyer, each eminent iu his
particular line. Being somewhat of the
same feather it is not wonderful that
they sometimes came together. The
fact is they came together rather more
frequently than the apothecary s assist'
ant liked.
Whether it was because "old '
was always at his elbow and looking over
him at his business or not, for some rea
son that individual conceived the idea
of getting rid of his master's friend,
Accordingly one fine day lately "old
" turned in as usual, and found the
assistant alone. The master had gone
out, but that did not deter the lawyer
from taking his seat on the corner of the
counter where the assistant was busy
pounding some lump sugar in a mortar.
Turning toward a shelf, he fancied he
saw our friend -the lawyer dexterously
wetting his fingers with his tongue, and
having dipped them in the powdered
sugar, applying them to that member
with evident signs and smacks of enjoy
ment. The time hod come, and the
young chemist resolved upon his oourse,
Resuming his pestal, he began pounding
away, but in a moment stopped and
began to sneeze and wipe his eyes.
"Confound that stuff." he said, "it
always makes me ill." " What tuff ?
exclaimed the lawyer, anxiously. " That
arsenic, " replied his friend. ' ' Arsenic I
shouted the lawyer, alarmed. "Yes,
replied the chemist, as coolly as he
could, "I was mixing " Before he
could say more the lawyer ran about the
shop shouting: "I'm poisoned, I'm
poisoned; what is to be done ?" "Noth
ing but an emetio for it," said the assist
ant, forthwith getting down the mustard
from a shelf; and in a few moments
poor was retching and groaning in
the greatest agony of body and mind.
It is unnecessary to say that he had
not taken arsenic, but a few grains of
Eowdered sugar. He has not been in
is friend's shop since, his two chief
difficulties being, first, to know whether
he was poisoned or not, and secondly, in
the face of the anxious solicitations of his
friends after his health, to persuade him
self that nobody knows.
