A Miser Heartless Hill.
Thorn is X. Chapoun, who died a few
day sga at his residence on Orange
street, 11 'Seville, a suburb of Newark,
New Jirsey, was always looked upon aa
a miser and believed to ba possessed of
large fortune, but it was not nntil bis
death that either the exten t of his means
or the full measures of his niggardly In
stincts became known.
Ctmprann came there from Saneca
Falls. N. V., some twenty years ago.
lie brought with him a wife and baby
and claimed to have $05,000 in cash.
J5ut little has been known of bis lite
beyond the fact that be was keenly alert
whenever an opportunity presented
Itself to make a dollar nnJ that he was
of an unsociable disposition. Rumors
got abroad that be treated bis wife and
daughter badly providing them with
food of the poorest quality and in Insuf
ficient quantity. It was also said that
be treUed bis youn? daughter with
great cruelty at times and allowed her
DO pleasure whatever that wou'd neces
sitate the expenditure cf a penny. II is
coai was kopt in a vault in the cellar
and was dealt out sparingly by him, the
key tw'irg constantly in his possession.
At Center Market he was well known
to the hucksters because ofbisclosa
dealings. Tie al ways bought the cheap
est and meanest vegetables and scraps
cf meat be could Cud, and invariably
haggled over the price. No one el.se in
bis family was allowed to buy anything,
and the three are known to have lived
on almost nothing whatever, and be has
long been considered one of the myster
ies of Newark.
"When he died his will was opened by
Ileal Estate Broker 11. L. Crane, who
yvr.a named as executor. It was dated
August. and showed that Chap
man was worth at least Slo0,000, and
was 72 years of age. The document ab
solutely disinherits his wife and daught
er and gives all of the estate to a Mrs.
Clark, a niece of Chapman who lives
Bomewhere in New York city. It also
contained a decree prohibiting the at
tendance at his funeral of his wife or
daughter, and requesting that his body
be sent to Saneca Talis for burial.
It was found that he left money in
three different sayings baoks, the ag-
Kregate of which is S12.000. A letter.
which was found by his bedside after
Lis dath, contained a statement that
be bad money in a can in the cellar
vault, and requested Mr. Crane to se
cure it and send it to Mrs Clark. Mr.
Crane , Mrs. Chapman and a neighbor
made a diligent search in the cellar.
but found nothing until they eom-
menced to dig np the floor. Then
much to their surprise they unearthed a
battered tin can.
In it they found $12,000 in bank notes
each of the denomination of $500. They
also discoverd an old chest, which, upon
being broken open, was fouud to con
tain ?2,OUO In bills, $150 in gold and $50
in silver, besides a first mortgage for
5S.000 on the East Orange Presbyterian
Church. As the old man always slept
with a certain old vest on his person
Mrs. Chapman thought that it must
have held what securities her husband
did not have in bank, consequently the
findicg of the valuables were a com
jjicio aurpnse to ner. vine vest was
found to contain nothing of valne.
An effort wit be made by Mre. Chap
man aad her daughter to break the will
and the courts will soon be asked to de
cide upon the merits of their claim.
1011 Hanted a Dance.
The attaches about the Chicago opera
Iionse are nothing If not sportive. Not
a day goes by that some joke is not per
petrated. Some time ago one of the
stage hands cracked a joke, and some
body culled out. "Everybody waltz !'
This started a ball rolling that has
still kept In motion, and has made more
fun than one could imagine. At the
least thing out or the way, on the stage
or in any prt of the house, the cry will
heard, "Everybody waltz P'and tLey
uo waltz. They gb fach other or -Dy.
thing portable may be in reach and
waitz about like mad. When Lawreoce
Uarrett was at the theairs playing an
engagement hot long ago he stood In
the wings awaiting hi cue to go on.
Just about the Instant be got it some
thing transpired to start all bands la
the waltz.
The ac' or had heard of the perform
ance, and knew the cause of it, but it
happened to catch the tragedian's bo
morons side on this occasion, and as be
rushed on the stage he was convulsed
with laughter, much to the astonish
ment of these about bim. and much at
variance with the sober and earnest re
quirements of "danelon." Henry Bol
lard, the door-keeper of the house, was
presented some time ago with a parrot,
but before taking the bird home he
wished to have it trained to talk. lie,
therefore, kept it about the theatre for
some weeks, and, naturally, the bird
learned the great by-word of the house.
Ballard finally took bis pet home.and
one of the first evening, at supper time,
just before Mallard left home for his
duties at the theatre, something hap
pened to cmse a general laugh, and the
rarrot, hearing the commotion.tbonght,
of course, it was one of the ordinary oc
currences, and sung out clearly and dis
tinctly, "Everybody waltz !" EalUrd
was "on," and said nothing; but one of
the family Siid, "Polly, what do you
mean by that?" "Shut u !" screamed
the bird; "what do you know about it?
everybody waltz, I tell you."
The pony is the horse of hardships,
says a horseman In an exchange, and
one that has sprung from some poor
country where he has ever been poorly
the child of neglect be and all the pre
decessors or his race. In a rich country
like the horse regions of Kentucky, for
instance, bis pony character Jit ics would
invariably ruu out In the course of a
few generations. He is not a distinct
strain, as many would seen, to suppose.
He doubtless sprang originally from as
good a strain ol horses as the world
knew of at the time, and bis present re
duced slzs and characteristic toughness
have resulted, unquestionably, from lo
cal circumstances.

White Man Sever Trod There.
Washington has ber great anknown
land like the Interior of Africa, says the
Seattle Press. The country shot in by
the Olympic Monnta'.ns, which Includes
an area of about 2.000 square miles, has
never, to the positive knowledg of old
residents of the Territory, been trodden
by the foot of man. These mountains
rise front the level country within 10 or
15 miles from the btraus or ban j nan
de Fuca in the north, the Facifis Ocean
in the west. Hood's Canal In the east,
and, rising to the height of 0,000 or
9.000 feet, shut in a vast unexplored
area.
The Indians have never penetrated it.
for tbeir traditions say that It is inhab
ited by a fierce tribe which cone of the
coast tribes dared molest. Though it is
Improbable that such a tribe could have
existed la this mountain country with
oat tbeir presence becoming known to
the white man, no man has ever ascer
tained that it did not exist. White
men, too, have only vague accounts of
any white man having ever passed
through this country, for investigation
of all the claims of travelers has inva
riably pro fcd that tbey have only tra
versed its outer edges.
The most generally accepted theory in
regard to this country is that it con
sisted of great valleys, stretching from
the inward slopes of the mountains to
a great central basin. The theory is
supported by the fact that, although
tbe conutry round has abundant rain,
and clouds constantly hang over tbe
mountain tops, all tbe streams flowing
towards tbe four points are insignificant,
and rise only on the outward slopes of
the ranee, cone appearing to drain tbe
great lakes abut in by tbe mountains.
This fact appears to support tbe theory
that streams flowing from the inner
slopes of the mountains feed a great in
terior lake. But what drains this lake?
It mast have an outlet somewhere, and,
as all tbe streams pouring from tbe
mountains rise in their outward slopes,! t
must have a subterranean outlet to the
ocean, tbe straits, er the sound. There
are great discoveries in store for some
of Washington's explorers.
Rotation ot Crops.
Much has been written on the subject
of crop rotation, but we think its im
portance is not fully understood. The
celebrated "fourxcourse system of rota
tion" in England wheat, turnips, bar
ley and clover, followed again by wheat
is supposed to be based on tbe princi
pie of not having two grain crops follow
one another, lis general adoption for
nearly a hundred years is, however,
probably due more to the convenience
of doing tbe work than to the supply of
the desirable plant food for the differ
ent crops.
Ooe of tbe most popular systems of
rotation in the winter wheat section of
this country is : drat, corn or potatoes;
second, oats or barley; third, wheat ;
fourth, clover or grass, followed again
corn. Here we have three grain
crops in succession. Iiut tbe rotation
is so convenient that it is not easy to
improve upon it. The most serious
objection to it is that it will not clean
land as rapidly as is desired by a farmer
who starts on a neglected, run down,
weedy farm. If the land is clean to
start with, it can be kept clean. But
tbere Is a great deal of "lind where in
stead of oats or barley, an occasional
summer fallow is needed. If the work
on the fallow is thoroughly done, and
wheat Is sown in tbe fall with timothy
grass at tbe same time, with the wheat
and clover in tbe spring, we can hope
to get a large crop of wheat, and, what
Is of no less consequence, we have ev
ery reason to expect a heavy crop of
grass and clover and there is nothing
that cleans and enriches land like a
smothering crop of grass and clover.
As before said, when land is once clean
and in good condition, tbe rotation we
have mentioned will nable a good
farmer to keep it clean.
The Old Fashioned Girl.
She was a little girl until she wai
fifteon years old, and then she helped
ber mother in her household duties.
She had her hours of play, and enjoyed
herself to tbe fullest aztent. She never
said to br mother, 1 can't 1 don't
want to,' for obedience was to her a
cherished virtue. She arose in tbe
morning when called, and we do not
suppose she had her hair done cp in
curling papers and crimping pins or
banged oyer her forehead. She did not
grow into a young lady and talk about
ber beau before she was in her teens,
and she did not read dime novels nor
was she fancying a beau in every boy
she met. Tbe old fashioned girl was
modest la her demeanor, and she never
talked slang nor used by-words. She did
not langh at old people cor make fun of
cripples. She had respect for her elders,
and was not above listening to words of
counsel from those older than herself.
She did not know as much as her moth
er, nor did she think that ber judgment
was aa good aa tbatot ner grandmother.
She did not go to parties by the time
he was ten years old, aad stay till mid
night, dancing with chance young men
who happened to be present. She went
to bed in season, and doubtles she said
her prayers and slept tbe sleep of Inno
cense, rose up in tbe morning happy and
capable of giving happiness. And now,
if there is an old-fashioned girl in tbe
world tosday, may heaven bless and
keep and raise op others like ber.

At Home, in 122?, It rained dust.
mixed with blood, for three days.
and when the heavy elonds drifted
away It looked as if tbe sun was swim-
mine In a sea of fire. Four years later.
in 1220, a snow fall in Syria, which
presently melted and flowed in carmine
rivers of blood, or some fluid much re
sembling it in every particular. Mao
of tbe old writers record a three days
shower of blood red rain in Ue Island
of Rhodes and throughout Southern
Italy in 1236. A monk, writing in
1251, tella of a leaf being cut out of
which blood flowed as freely as from a
fresh wound. In 1343 tbere were many
earthquakes and many great tempests.
Several towns and thousands of people
were swallowed up and tbe courses of
tbe chasms in tbe earth sent forth
poisonous fluids, as red aa carmine ink,
at Villach in Austrii. Ponderous bail
stones fell in Germany tbe same year,
some of the oa weighing from 20 to 70
pounds. At Lamech it raiued flesh.
dust, comets and meteors ; firebrands
and corruscations were in the air ;
mock suns, with Gery tails, sailed
through tbe skies. Soon after these
terrible scenes at Lamech it began at
Catava. Dear the ses, and went sweep
ing throughout Southern Europe. An
Igneous vapor or sulphurous fire broke
from the earth at Caabery, Asia, and
utterly consumed men, beasts, bouses
and trees, so infecting tbe air tbat a
great plague followed. Young ser
pents and millions of venomous insects
fell from the clouds. In 1301 Burgun
dy experienced tbe novelty of a shower
of bloodied rain, which ensanguined
everything it touched ; and in 15CS tbe
Antiura reapers found all wheat heads
to be as red as blood. In 15S3 bread
pnt in tbe oven at Nuremberg waa
taken out coverd with a blood sweat.
"Wurtemberg bad a shower of brimstone
and ashes in 1033. In 1G93 Limerick
aud Tiperary, Mand, had many
showers of a soft, fatty substance re
sembling butter. It was of a dark
yellow color and always fell at night.
The people gathered it and u?ed It as
an ointment, reporting many astonish
ing cures.
Snow Tacking.
We are apt to think of the use of ice.
or tbe obtaining of a freezing tempera-
tare in warm weather to preserve meats
and other perishable articles, as a prac
tice of quite recent origiD. Oar grand
fathers, and even ic many cases, onr
fathers, did not cat ice in winter, and
accordingly bad no afore of it to draw
upon In Summer. The natural coolness
of an underground cellar bad to serve
for the preservation of such articles of
food as would be spoiled by beat, and
the butter was kept bard by dangling
it in a pail in a deep well.
The Homaos, however, understood
and practiced, many centuries ago, the
art of maintaining an artificial temper-
atnre. They were fond of oysters,
and transported them inland bv the
us of enow. Each oyster, was packed
in closely compressed snow which was
snrrouoded by a layer of straw, and
in turn by a wrapping of woolen cloth.
This method succeeded so well that
Apicins was able to send oysters from
Brindisi to the Emperor Trajan in Ar
menia. These ojsters by the way, were
from Lake Lucrinus in Italy, which
was famous throughout tbe ancient
times for the excellence of Its oysters.
They were the "Blue Points" of antiq
uity, and tbe Emperor of Augustus
thought so highly of the lake which
produced them that be provided it with
a constant supplj of water from the
sea by cutting an artificial channel at a
considerable expense.
It would be interesting to compare
the quality of these ancient oysters with
those of our own day, as might posal-
P1 j ine mennua was .tin
in existence. But the spot where Api-
CQ9 gathered bis oysters for the Empe
ror Trsj an is now covered by a moun
tain about four hundred feet high,
which was raised during an earthquake
and volcanic eruption in tbe year 1533.
Tbe epicurean Emperor, Heliogaba-
I lus, undoubtedly understood the art of
i.: j :. , . . .
snow-packicg, as described by Apicus,
for it is related tbat be would never eat
sea fish except at & great distance from
the sea. lie would then bring from
the salt water, at an immense expense,
great quantities of tbe choicest kinds of
fish, and distribute them among the
peasants of the inland country.
Keep Straight Ahead,
ray no attention to slanders or gossip
mongers. Keep straight on in your
course, and let their backbitings die a
death of neglect.
What is the use of lying awake at
nights brooding over the remark of
some false friend that runs through
your brain like forked lightning ?
What's the usa of getting Into a wor
ry aiid fret orer gossip that has been
set afloat to your disadvantage by some
meddlesome busybody who has more
time than character.
These things can't possibly injure
J Ju unless, indeed you take notice of
thenc HDd in combating them give
mem cnaracter ana standing, lr wnat
is said about you is true, set it right at
once ; if :t is false. let it go for what it
will fetch. If a bee stings yoo, go to
the hive to destroy the insect. Would
not a thousand come upon you ?
It is wisdom to say little respecting
tbe injuries yon have received. We are
geneially losers in the end, if we stop
to refute all the backbitings an gossip
ings we may hear it by the way. They
are annoying, it ia true, bat not dan
gerous, so long as we do not stop to ex
postulate and scold, our characters are
formed and sustained by our own ac
tious aod put poses, and not by others
Lei as all bear in mind that "calum
nies may usually be trusted to time and
the slow but steady justice tf public
opinion."
