'WBAI-j AUOLU'lO A Man. h a
Family Goius uji the street, about 10
o'clock one Digit rtceutiy, a citizen heard
the. sound of a fiddle, a baryoc and a lam
borine. As lie neared the point from wbick
they proceeded, lie heard footsteps keeping
time to ;lic inuiic and a voice calling ont
the figures of a cotillion. lie eoon learned
it was a tcgro wedding frolic. Just as be
airircd ia frent of the house a loud ngrr
voice called out : Stoj Uat music iiucdya
telv !' What'B de mattab, Saw V' said
another voice ; 'what doyoa mwtf by bUi

Ocrumtn and ladies you can all go home !'
What in de name ob prose is de mattah
wid that nisah V eFecU thai
-ome from all parts of the room. 'What's
d mattah, Sam ; you talk like a crary
iiiSSah!' '-No. IK)l craz' !' said ll,e
..nTaddrcssed, Ic gwiue to have a divoee,
Ie gwinc to Iitve a divocc ! Date what
Ise- gwinc to have .Divoce ! divoee !'
spoke neveral of the voices together;
what's dat uigar thinkiug' 'bout ? He
ain't bio married more'ii two hours, and
nowhe'H talkiiT 'bout gitliu a divoce. He's
craij. ho. Vou's crazy Sam !' 'I tell
you Ise not crazy,' said the latter. 'Here
Uc bin :oHitin' Lucinda for two years,

i3kin' iwc lielieve she had money ; dat she
was rich, aud uow she U-lls me she ain't
:ot but a dolla. Stop de music, 1 say I
Dis party's broke up. When dis chile
marries a gal for her money, spin's to have
uiore'a a dolla, or 1 wont live with In r a
minit ; Ise gwinc to quit in time. What's
a dolla to a man wid a family?' 'Dat's
uior'n you've got, anyhow, you good lor
nuflio, lazy, no account niggab, you 1' here
chimed in Lucinda. Xex' time I marry
for money, it s got to be counted out belo'
de preacitr lies de not,' said Sam. 4Ie
gwinc to gel a divoce immcdyatcly 1' Such
an uproar was raisud by this speech the
citizen could uut not understand any more
that was said, and he passed on lwnie ward,
thinking that was the shortest honey-moon
f which he had ever heard. Of course,
atn is pushing matters for a 'divoce.'
WHl's i d(!ln to man wid a family ?'
JEoitr.E Wa-hin.tx Jones. He
walked into one of the banks yet rday
morning with firm step, and goiug strcight
to the teller's window he remarked :
'It's mighty cloee times.'
Yes,' was the brief reply.
'1 fens ycr know what ails dis yer country?'
-'ntiuued Mr. Joues.
There was no reply.
'Dar's de merchant aud de lawyer, and
tie laboring mau, all cryiug hard times,'
coutinued Mr. Jones, 'au nobody wcais to
know de remedy. Is dar a remedy ?
The cashier wouldn't cjoiprmiM his
hank by making a reply.
'Of course dar is !' exclaimed Mr. Jones
in a voice shewing contempt and indigna
tion. 'In de fust place capital governs la
bor. Den rueuty governs bof. Don't you
lieaiu to see now ? Isn't dc solulinu per
fectly defensible to view V
The cashier wouldn't say.
'Do lab. .ring mau works for uicncr,' con
tinued the fiuoncier, 'and when he gits
money he lays it out in cloze and eatables
mid otiera tickets. It circulates aroun'
trotn hand to hand, pays debt carries on
buMntsi, and de hull machinery moves.
1 -in't vou nc row ? Isn't it perfect impa
reyt to you ?' .
The cashier still preserved silence.
le solution am dis,1 said Mr. Jones,
altera brief rot. 'If all de folks' what
work will go to work at three dollars a day,
dese hard times will be knocked nowhar in
about five jiff.. Three dollars a day is
ijhteen dollars a week for the working
man, and dat's oufl' for anybody. Den
when he goes to work have all de lawyers
git cases at City dollars each. Dey can
make two hundred dollars a week,
nud dat'a enough for de lawyers. Den
have all de doctors, git patients, all de
merchants heaps of customers, all de banks
irivc out money when a feller wants it, and
don't de solution strike you ? Don't dat
philosophy allude to your finncial judge
ment like a load of brick ?'
The cashier didn't even smile.
Dat's dc way to get aloiig,' continued
Mr. Jones. 'I've handled a heap of money
in my time, and dar ain't cullud pu&sun in
de city dat pays de atteshun to dc finances
as I do. Ite solution is yours. I don't
make any charge for it. I want to see this
rouutry run ahead, and I want folks to
to know how is can do it.'
He cast a Ions lingering look at the
cashier, and tin-u walked out.
2rjTioMXu a DiTtHJUX. The Ne
vada Sihti ' Star says : At a recent trial in
the Elko county court our friend liishoif,
of tlie Humboldt brewery, was called as a
witle ss. Mr. Uishoffis one of the 'solid'
men of Elko, where he has been in business
since the town was started in the winter of
1S."S. Upon being sworn, Counselor Hand,
one f the attorneys in the case, who by the
way, is an old resident of Elko, said : 'Mr.
Iiishof! , w here do you reside V" 4 Where I
reside ? What for you ask me such foolish
tliiugs ? You drinks at my place more as
a hundred times.' 'That has nothing to
do with the cac on trial. Mr. lliahoff,
state to the jury whew you reside.' 'Do
nburry ! de shurry ? Oh, by jiminy ! efery
cr.tlemen of dis shurry has a string of
roirks on niy cellar door just like a rail
feme.' His Honor here interceded in the :
couiselor's behalf, and in a calm and dig- .
nllicl manner requested the witness to
tfale where b resided. 'Oh, excuse me, ;
ehuJge ; you drinks at my place so many ;
tloiw and pays me nothing, I dinks you j
knows old JiisholTvat keeps the brewery.' '

The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple
machitie iu all il parts and processes. It is
easily nndertood ; familiarity with its action is
very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any
practice of s nl skill in the operator.
The superior advantages obtained in the "Do
mestic" are mainly i
1. Light Running.
2. Quietness -no Cams or Gear Wheels.
S. Perfect Slitch Double-thread Look Stitch.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction. 5. Absence of all Friction.
C. Great range of Work.
7. Ease of Operation.
We do not say thtit the "Domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some" possessing real and acknow
ledged merit; but we doclaim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has muuy
excellences that render it dteiiledly wptrior to
any otlur MmMh now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, exumine for her
self into its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase, not to be care
lessly made ; oue that will Influence her coin
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes
tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing
become a pleasant exercise o( skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drudgery ; she will have
the time and strength to add beauty and elegance
to work in which before she has been obliged to
content hcrelf with bare utility.

Treatment op SHTrdJ!!oiwe. Shying gen- "
dally aties frona' timidity, but soineiiinea it is .
nuited witu euuiiiuir. and imiuees the animal to
assume a rear of same object for the sole porposo :
of andin aa excuse for turmnj; aside. The
usual cause of shying is, doubl:es, the presence
of some object to which the horse baa uot been
accuelotueri, and if be has defeeliv eyes, whien
render him short sighted, il wiil be difficult to
convince him of the innocent nature of the novel
object. There are endless peculiarities in shying
hortse-, some being drendfully alarmed by one
kind i.r object, which ia not at ail formidable.
The bel plau of treatment which can be adopt,
rd, is to take as little notice as possible of the
ahyinir, and to be rpecialJ careful lo show no
fear of its recurrence when ihe "alarming" ob
ject appears iu ihe distance. Wtieu the horse
begins to show alarm, but not till then, the
driver should speak encouragingly to him, and,
ir necessary, witb a severe tone, which may even
be supported ty the use or the whip if his onward
progress can not otherwise be maintained.
The principle which sbontd be carried out, i
to adopt such measures as wiil get the horse to
pass the object at which he shies, somehow or
other, and this should be effected with as liuie
violeuce as possible, always commanding in an
encuuragiUar tone as soon as the purpose is earn
ed. Nothing b:is ureal a tendency to keep up
the habit aa tbe plan so cotuuiou among ignorant

passed the object of his alarm. If he can be
persuaded to go quietly np lo it, and examine
with bis muzzle, aa well as with bis eyes, great
good wilt be effected, but this can seldom be done
with moving vehicles, and heaps of stouts or
pile of sand are generally only alarming from
defective vision, so that eb time they ass u mo

Sowisa Seeds. The time will soon arrive for
general seed sowing, and a hiul or two in regard
to il may not be out of place.
Much that is sown never appears, and thV
seedsman is charged with selling old- or poor
seeds. Sometimes this may be so, bat very often
it Is the sower's own fault. , There is much more
art in sowing seeds successfully than people
suppose, and yet it is very simple when under
stood. Muuy seeds are sowu too deep, and yet if not
deep euoutcb they will dry np and not 'grow at
all. The depth must be determined by the size
of the send and tbe character of the soil, if tne
soil be lmbt and saudy, there is not so much
dauger of seeds rotlinir from deep sowing as If
the soil be stiff; and even in stiff soil tbe depth
will have to be determined by the condition of
the soil. Suppose we are sow a piece of oals, in
land that is liable to become clotty, and this to
the distinction between light and heavy laud.
If we can roll tbe laud after sowing il would not
matter much about sewing deep ; bnt tbe seed
would have lo be harrowed in pretty well if ,)"J
in a clotty condition nr rolled. Indeed if the .
seed were sown on ground simply first harrowed -and
then rolled, in such land aa we have escrib
ed, many more seed would do well than if bar.
rowed before rolling. In other words, shallow
sowing, if the ground is well-pulverized and
pressed firm, is more favorable than deep plant
ing wilh a rough surface. Finely pulverized
soil. With a well-pressed surface, in indeed the
very best conditions for success with all seeds ;
and the shallowest kind of sowing", so that tbe .
seeds be firmly imbedded in tbe soil, is the es
aeuce of good seed sowing. Gtrmantmen Tti
grrph. Lime is oue of the constituents, lo a grmler or
le extent, of all soils that are capable of cnlti
val'ou. Ali pliuiU remove eouie of the lime from
the soil, especially wheat, clover, barely, oat '
and turnips. It follows that unless the lime
be restored, exhaustion will ensue. Tet lime
can uol strictly be said to be a manure. It ia
rather a stimulant. Successive applications of
lime without manure will only quicken the ex
haustive process. As a means of bringing back, '
run down land, lime alone ia useless,. Jta action
is to decompose vegetable matter and lo render
more quickly available the piaut food thai aU ,
ready exists iu the soil. Iu this direction it acts
like magic. It follows thai the best lime la

of a heavy dressiug of stable manure, or after
tuiuing under a green crop. Canad Farmtr.
