A Light Howe ttory.
The Ship Shoal light at the mouth of the
Atchafalaya, sixty miles south of Bras
hear, La., is under the charge of Ed.
Dunn. He has three assistants. The
light overlooks a dreary waste of swamps
and salt water, and is entirely isolated.
On February 15th, two of the assistants
started for Morgan City in a small sailboat
to buy supplies. As they did not return
Mr. Dunn supposed that they had leen
lost in a storm. On Washington's birth
day, however, while his third assistant,
Mr. Leach, and himself were coal-tarring
the roof of their dwelling, they sighted a
•mall boat three miles south of the light.
There was a dead calm. It was about
three o'clock in the afternoon. After
scanning the sail through a glass, they
w re positive that it was the light house
boat. It contained, however, ouly one
man. Dunn directed Leach to pull out to
the beat and see what was the matter.
Leach did so. He found a straosrer at the
helm. The man said that he had bought
the boat from three men in Morgan City
for SIOO. He was bound for Pascagoula.
Leach told him that the boat belonged to
the light house, and demanded her return.
At first the man refused to give her up.
Alter ascertaining that Leach and Duun
were the only persons at the light house,
he said that Leach might tow her in and
he would steer her. Thereupon Leach
fastened a line to the sail boat, and as the
water was smooth and there was not a
breath of wind, he towed her to the light
without difficulty. They got there about
6 P. M. Duun closely questioned the
stranger, and as there were neither pro
visions nor clothing in the boat, he felt
satisfied that he had stoleu it. He says
that he would have sent Leach to Moreau
City with the fellow if be could have
handled the light alone. As it was he de
termined to await the arrival of his mis
siDg assistants, fancying that they would
charter some other boat at Morgan City
and return. He fed the fellow, who
seemed willing to work and made no effort
to escapo.
On the night of February 25, Dunn bad
the watch from 6 o'clock to midmsht. He
had wound up the revolving machine at
V o'clock, when he was startled by pistol
shots, and repeated cries of 4 *Help!" aud
%, Murder I" He flew down stairs and
found every thing quiet. It was very
dark. Groping his way to his valise, he
got a revolver, and started for the room
where the small lamps are kept, to get a
light. On the way his torni was outlined
against a window. There was a flash,
and as quick as thought a pistol ball was
buried in his shoulder. Dunn fired at the
flash, and again received a bullet in the
shoulder, lie fired three times m succes
sion. The lire was returned, and a bullet
struck him in the side. Then all was
still. Dunn reached the lamp room aud
struck a ligh:. On descending to the ground
floor he met Leach coming IU from the gal
lery. One side of his face was cut away,
exposing his jaw anil teeth. He was
covered witn blood. He said that the
stranger had assaulted him with a hatchet,
he also had three pistol balls in his booy
Dunn made a search for the assailant. He
could not find him in the dwelling. Pre
sently they heard an iron trap door fall.
The desperado had fastened himself in the
watch room in the light house. DJUII
then dressed Leach's wounds as best he
could and put him to Ded. The rest of
the night he stood watch at the foot ot the
stairs. As he ha Ino more cartriges he
armed hiniseii with a carving knife and
ship scraper. The screen stopped revol
ving at 12,30 but the light kept burning
until morning, giving no light except at
eight different points of the compass.
Ail the next day and all the next night
Dunn stood watch at the foot of the stair
way. The deepersdo remained quiet. Hsd
he known that Dunn's ammunition had
eiven out, he would undoubtedly have
detcended and renewed the fight. Leach
suffered teriibly from nis wounds. He
was excessively weak from loss ot blood.
There was no light on the night of the
26th as the assassin maintained his block
ade. At IP.M. of the 27th a steamship
bound for .New Orleans hove in sight
Duun swung out the American colors union
down, but the vessel did not stop. She
acknowledged the signal with three whis
tles and went on her way.
Alter she had passed, the desperado
called for a parley. He was faint and
hungry. He had been shot in the kuee
joint. The pain was so great that he
asked for mercy. By this ame Leach had
comparatively regained his strength. In
the morning he had made some coffee and
shared it with Dunn, They asked the as
sassin to surrender his arms. He passed
the pistol and hatchet through the trap
door and surrendered. After his descent.
Leach ana Duun locked hun in one of the
bedrooms and nailed the shutters tight.
Here he was kept until March 2, when a
vessii was hailed and he was sent to 2sew
OrleanE,; accompanied by Leach, who
sought surgical assistance. In Mew Or
leans the piisoner was recognized as Jim
Woods, a notorious desperado.
Tuko that Risk.
"Also to hire tor funeral and other oc
casions, dress suits of the finest quality,"
it a line at the bottom of a recent adver
tisement by a Brooklyn tailor.
"Do many per pie borrow su'ts for fune
rals ?" we asked.
"Do they? Well 1 wish you would
stop a minute or two aud see them come
along," said be, adding : "Why I thought
it would suit a public demand, having in
view only those who are included in what
are called 'the masse?,' but even i was
astonished when I found well-to-do peo
pie, merchants, officials, politicians, and,
in short, every sorts of people, applying
for overcoats, coats, trousers, or whole
suits in which to attend funerals. Very
often a poor man finds the cost of the bur
ial of a relative leaves bim no money for
his mourning suit, which after all, he
would wear only one day. Quite as often
men in better circumstances decide to at
tend a funeral almost at the last moment.
Again, there are a great many men who
are so careful about their money that they
hire suits for ad imaginable occasions ra
ther than buy them outright."
"What do YOU charge?"
"Oh, we will loan a satin-lined doeskin
overcoat for a deposit of S2O, and when it
is returned we will keep $2. Here's a
black beaver suit for the same money, and
here's a common, though very genteel suit
that we will loan for sl. We have a hun
dred suits for all sizes ages and style 3 of
pei sons. We inquire about the persons
we loan them to, but sometimes they fail
to return the clothes. We are obliged to
take that risk."
Snow Sboei For Horses.
Stages began running regularly into the
Yosemite Valley byway of Milton in May.
Sleds drawn by horses are used in travel
ing over the snow. The animals are pro
vided with snow sfcoes, consisting of
blocks about thirteen inches tquare and
one inch m thickness, to which suitable
attachments are fixed on the upper side
for the purpose of securing the foot. The
hones readily learn to manipulate these
apparently clumsy appendages, and make
excellent progress over the anQw.
AGRICULTURE.
A PECULIAR FENCE. —There is a kind of
fence in use in some of the districts in
Queensland wmch are infested with mar
supials, of which an account is giveu in a
recent number of the Queens!ander. The
fence is made of wire aud saplings, the lat
ter being used in the same way as paliug.
There are various ways of constructing this
fence, but the most popular method niav be
described as follows: Round sapling posls
are procured of durable timber from seveu
to eight inches iu diameter and nine to ten
fe t long. Three auger holes are bored iu
them, one about four leet a ovc the ground
and the other two wiltiiu a foot of cacti
other at the uppermost end of the post, be
gi lumg about six or uiue iuehes Trom the
top. These posts are inserted iu the grouud
from two to tLree feet, according to
the nature of the soil, and at twelve feet
distauce asunder. Due wire of Mo. 6
gauge is theu run through the lowest bolea
and t.ghtcued. Next saplings of biigalow,
iron-wood, ti tree or iron liark are procur
ed. aud if too stout for use as cut, are split
m'o two, three or more pieces, until light
enough to answer as palings, l'hey are
generally cut from six to scveu feet iu
length, so as to allow trom six to nine in
ches for insertion in the soil, aud to leave
no less than five or six feet above. A se
cond wire of No. 10 gauge is then run
through the same hole as contains No 6,
and is loft slack. Alter making the trench
for the foot of the palings in lines betweeu
each poet, these are placed in position along
the trench and against the tightened wire,
as close as posible, and the smaller sUv k
wire is passed around each paling and
round the tight wire, proceeding thus uut.:
the whole space between each post is filled
up sung aud clofe. Tha earth thrown out
iu forming the trench is then put back
against the foot of the palings and pressed
or rammed iu. In the remaining auger
holes above the palings wires of No. S
gauge are uext passed aud properly tight
ened, aud a marsupial or dingo-proof fence
is the result.
Goon POINTS OF A HORSK. —In buying a
horse, lo k first to his head and eyes for
sigus of intelligence, temper, couiage and
honesty. Unless a horse lias brains you
cannot teach him todo anything well. If had
qualities pred >miuate iu a uorse, education
ouly serves to enlarge and intensify them,
l'he head is the trie indicator of disposi
tion in the horec. A square muzzle with
largo nostrils evideuces an ample breath
ing apparatus and great lung power.
Next, see that he is well cut under ihc
jaw bones broad and wide apart under the
throttle. Breadth and lulluess betweeu
the ears and eyes is always dcairab e. The
eye should be lull and hazel iu color; ear 6
small and thin, aud tbrowu well forward.
The horse that turns his ears back until
they almost meet at the points is not to be
trusted. He is a biter or a kicker, and is
sure to be vicious in other respects. A
horse with a dishing face is cowardly, aud
a cowardly brute, besides being naturally
vicious, cau never be trained to do auy
thing well. A horse with a rounding
nose, tapering foreward and a broad, full
place below the eyes, is always treacher
ous and mischievous. Avoid a long-leg
ged, stilty horse, fcelect one with a short,
straight back aud rump, withers high and
shoulders slopiug, well s<.t backaad broad,
witb good depth of cLeet, forelegs short,
hind legs straight, with the hock low
down, short pasteru j )iulß, aud a round,
uiulisn toot. By observing the above
hints a horse may be selected that is
graceful, good uatured, serviceable, and
a prize to the owner.
THE FARMER'S WORK. Every warm,
sunshiny day makes the farmer nervous
and fidgety, as it lemiuds him of the early
coming ot the time when his spring ami
summer work will crowd him aud deuiaud
all his bodily strength to accomplish it.
The good farmer maps out his plans, es
signs for each field a certain crop, gets all
his tools, implements and appliauces ready
so that when the proper time arrives he
can strike in without delay. His slock
from now tiff giaas comes reqiures extra
care and shelter from the cold spring
storms, and the relaxing influence of
spring weather, which effect alike the
dumb animal aud the human one.
CORN AND PORK. -Experienced porkrais
er3 in the West have determined on the fol
lowing ratio as to the relative value of corn
and pork: When corn is 30 eenls per bush
el, pom an be sold at #3 per 100 pounds
net; when corn is 40 cents, pork must bring
$4; and so on at the rate of an advance of
$1 for every advance ot 10 cent* in the price
or corn li pork sella at a price below this
ratio, it is made at a loss—t above, the ex
cess is clear gain.
THX common practice is to keep hogs in
a growing and fattening state without
forced exercise. An exception byway of
an experiment, was recently made wub a
boar on a Pennsylvania farm. He was
well and liberel.y fed, but was forced to
take a good run in front of a boy every
day. His offspring were muck more vtg
orous of constitution than were pigs from
boars that were confined all the time.
A ASOOND early crop of potatoes fully
matured is more paohtable than a very
early one, as the latter are dug lefore
completing their growth, and the price re
ceived is not equal to the value of a full
grown crop. r Ahe Early K>se # aDd Beauty

"DON'T go chopping away at the

he was toid. He laid the ax at the fool
of the tree and then went off for a day's
fishing.
A UTIOA clergyman had occasion to

"Gocng at half price," said the sign.

"WHAT 1 should like to know," said a

"I will," said the trap, "and with baited

"All right," responded the rat, 'laud I'll

"Then don't; I'll let you off this time,"
responded John.

DOMESTIC.
REMOVAL OF GRKASK SPOTS. —Fatty oils
have a greater surface tension than off of
turpentine, benzole or e'her, Hence if a
grease spot on a piece of cloth be moistened
on tbe reverse side with one of these sol
vents the tension on the gre;isy side is larg
er, ami therefore the mixture of benzole
and fat or grease will tend to move toward
the main grease spot. If we were to
moisten the centre of this soot with ben
zole we should not remove it, but drive
the grease upon the clean portion of the
cloth. It is therefore necessary to distrib
ute the benzole first over a circle surrouud
lugthe grease spot, to approach the grease
gradually, and at the value lime having
blotting paper iu contact with the spot to
absorb the fat immediately. Another
method, namely, to apply a hot iron on
oue side, while blotting paper is applied to
the other, depeuds upon the tact that the
surtace tension of a substance diminishes
with a rise of temperature. If therefore the
temperature of different poriious or sides
of the cloth is different, the fat acquires
a tendency lo move from the hotter parts
toward tie cooler.

MAXT oilcloth mats last but one winter,
when if properly cared for they would
last much longer. The reason is that as a
general rule too many tacks are put in
them when they are first laid on the floor.
It is a good plan to let the oilcloth lie
without any tacking for two or three days
until it is flat and the danger of wrinkles
forming is over. If it is bound with car
pet binding, this should be sewed OB with
a stout linen thread, with long stitches.
Then a very few tacks will serve to keep
