We clip from tin) Huntingdon Mon
itor the following woll dotuilod fiction
ombelliched wilh ntubborn fuels, and
publish the namo for the benefit of
furmorH" nd everybody eluo. The
editor says:
A wi'll-to-do lnrmer reaidine not
many miles from Huntingdon, whose
ante we withhold ns be la not desirous
of having it mado public in connection
with the fnrt narrated below, came to
town on .Monday lust to "take in"
liatchcllcr A I lor is' ehow and to see
the sights. While standing on the
corner of Fourth and I'een Btreets, he
was approached by a gentlemanly
ooking individual, who familiarly
struck up a conversation with him on
varioussuliects, in the course ol whicb
ho informed our rural friend thut he
was connected with a sowing machine
rm, and that be had Come down this
at to see what the prospects wero
or buying a small (arm for bis sister-
law, located pleasantly and not too
far trom town. The farmer replied
that ho didn't know of any farm for
sale that would answer the description.
At this point the conversation changed,
tho coiifldcnco man telling his newly,
made friend of an excellent horse over
on tho show grounds, which he was
anxious to have him ece. This snbioct.
as the sharper knew, is calculated to
interest a farmer, and it did not fail on
this occasion, lie replied that he was
an admirer ol good horses, and be be
lieved as he bad nothing particular to
do just nt that time, he would walk
over along and see the horse. The
two started for the show grounds,
chattering familiarly on passing sub
jects of interest. Just ns they emerged
Irom tho river bridgo, they mot a well
dressed dignified looking gcntloman(?)
with whom tho sowing machine man
shook hands heartily, at the same time
expressing his great surprise to boo
him down this way. Turning to the
farmer ho introduced this tbird party
as juago irom uiair county, stat
ing that bo was an ex-associate Judgo.
Tho sowing machine man thon told
tho Judgo () whoro they wero going,
and insisted on bis accomiianyinp; them.
The latter however declined, saying
that ho was in a hurry to go over to
town to see his wife and family, who
wore wailing on him. iho two then
proceeded to the show grounds whore
they met a showman of whom the
sewing machine man innuirod concern
ing tho horso. The showman replied
that the horse had just been taken
over to town. This was a great dis
appointment to the machine man, as
ho had brought thogonlleman mean
ing tho larinor over to see the horse.
At this juncture tbe Judge (?) again
apponred on tho scene. The showman
then pulled out a deck of cards, and
showing the parly a particular card
threw it with some others down and
thon oflercd to bet that no one in the
parly could pick np the card. It
seemed a plain cose and the sowing
machine man took the hot, putting up
nve dollars and picked nn ihoidontical
card, winning the live dollars. Tbe
showman, not in tho least discomfited,
went throuirh tho same performance
agkin and made the samo offer to but
fivo dollars. Tbo sewing machine man
then turned to the Judge (r) and sng
cestod that be should try his luck
Tho Judge (I) said hu didn't know
much about cards, but believed he
could pick up tho right card, and after
hesitating lor a short time took the bet,
and ho too won live dollars off tho
showman. Tbecards were then thrown
again, the showman grumbling at his
hard luck, and again tho proposition
to bet was made, but our rural triond
knowing little about cards and being
too conscientious to engage in gam
bling, declined to mako any bet.
J hen betrnn a conversation bctweon
the sewing machine agent and the
Judge (?) during which the latter said
that he had como down to Hunting
don to establish a branch temperance
ofllco, speaking ubout tho strong or
ganization with whicb ho was connect
ed and of tho great work it was
doing in assailing the strongholds of
rum. lie said that be would like to
start an ofllce in Huntingdon and that
he wanted to find some good, reliable
man to take charge ol It; that it would
pay handsomely, und that its duties
would not require near all the time of
the person having charge, He spoke
ot the duties of the oRlce, mentioning
among others the distribution ol tracts,
Ac. The sewing machine man tben
turning to the Inrmor, said that por
haps he, tho farmer, might take chargo
of the ofllce, reminding him that it
would not inturfure with his farming.
The subject was presented in such a
plausible way that tbe farmer finally
agreed to accept tho offer. The Judge
(?) then brightening up with tho idea
that perhaps ho had found tho object
of his trip, and assuming a business
look, assured him that the business
of the oflice would not interfere in the
slightest with bis farming. Ho then
unlolded to him some more informa
tion rclativo to the organisation and
its requirements, during which ho in
formed him that, as an evidence of
good fuitb, and as a pledgo to the or
ganization that tbe duties of the ofllce
would be honestly and efficiently per
formed the organization invariably
domanded a deposit ot ono thousand
dollars with the troasuror of the orirani-
xation, whicb would be in time re
turned to him. Tho Judiro (Ti then
askod him if he had that aura. The
farmer roplied that he could raise eight
hundred dollars. The sewing machine
man, glad that an onporlumtv was
presented of doing his nowly-made
triena a Kinancss, volunteered to loan
the farmer the other two hundred
dollars. Tho furmor expressed his
willingness to accopt the loan. Tho
sowing machine man then informed
him that he would have to go over to
town to seo his wife, from whom he
would got the desired amount. This
suited tbo farmer very well as he would
have to go to the bank himself and
draw out his eight hundred. Aftor
agreeing upon a place of meeting tho
parties Boparuioa, and in a short time
they all mot again. The farmer pro
duced his eight hundred dollars, which
was counted, and the sowing machino
man counted his loan of two hundred.
making the required ono thousand
dollars. The showman picked up tbo
pilo oi money, rolled it up leisurely
and just at this juncture the Judgo (?)
engaged the farmer in further conver
sation about tbe new offloe to be estab-
isbcd and when tho farmer looked
around he noticed that the showman
had disappeared. Suspecting that all
wob not right tho furmor remarked,
"Judgo (?), did you notice which way
that man went with tho money?"
The Judge (?) replied he was just
about making a remark on that sub
ject, and added that bo feared tliev
wore both swindled. Alter waiting in
vain a short timo for the return of tho

IIKtKIAII JONES, EDITOR of TUB FLAP
DOODLE, DRAWS A FEW SKETCHES
FROM NATURE,
(From IheSteubenrilla Herald.
The editor of tbo Evening Flapdoodle
sat in his sanctum tbo other morning,
beginning his day's work, and thought
bo bad brought his paper about as
near perfection as possible for an ordi
nary sizod town ciiiio to a halt dor.on
big cities, and be was wonderina how
he might further iliprove it, whoo his
cogitutions wero interrupted by an ao
quuintanco coming in.
"Hollo, Mr. Scissirs," he facetiously
said, "writing up editorials wilh tbe
shears, eh ?" i
The editor tried to smile at tho old
joko, and tho visitor wont on. "I tell
you what it is Jooes, Von have a pretty
good paper, butwba. do you want in a
town like this with long editorials?
(iivo us short ones. You can't mould
public sentiment, you must simply
echo it." Then ho left, and Jones told
his associate not to write any long edi
torials that day, as be proposed for
once, to make tho Fltpdoodle just to
suit every subscriber who wanted a
change. In a half botr along came a
wicked fellow who talked newspaper
a long time, and thon atid ho didn't see
any use ot bunduy riading, nor any
other religious matter in a paper, and
it it was bis bo woild bounce it all.
The editor said nothing, but when the
man went away be told bis Sunday
editor not to send in any mattor tor thut
day. '1 ben Jones rested and thought
tor a tow moments, and a pious old
party dropped in. As So know a good
deal about tbe business in its moral
aspect, bo talked along, and at last
Baid that no newspaper could be de
cent that admitted to its columns any
sensational matlor,anr advertisemenls
other than tbe most high-toned, any
thing tbat could not be read without
a blush by the most capriciously fas
tidious. Jones was silent, but later he
went and ordered all that mattor set
aside. So fur, Jones thought he was
gelling things to suit pretty woll, and
then another Iran cuino in, and liko
the others, knew all about the business
of editing a paper, lie was a city
politician, und said, "Mr. Jones, you
don't have enough politics. Why don't
you throw out iIicho furm notes, and
kitchen receipts, and odds and ends of
old news, and telei;raphio brevities
food aewineper, and wbenerer I don't aire van

Editor Vapifooa!.
Tben these good people looked at
their blank paper and their blank
faces, and not one said a word but tbo
profane man, who remarked, "Damme,
tho editor is richt ; let's bo and mind
our own bnsinoBU," and Jonos crept out
from behind the countor, and that own
ing issued a tip-ton paper, chuck full
of all Boris of personal and local itoms,
ana news, and everything, and there
was peace in that town for tho space
of a long time.

convinced that they were both swin-U'T0 us politics? That's what tho
died, and that the scoundrel had loft
with tho money. 1 ho farmer admit
ted that it looked vorv much that wav
Tho Judgo (?)said he reflected severe
ly upon himself, becauso ho felt that
ha had been the innocent cause of get
ting the farmer into tbe trouble. Af
ter a moment's reflection the Judire It)
said if it should turn out that t hoy had
neon swindled, he would bear tho
whole loss himself; that the farmer
hould not lose his eiuht hundred dol
lars, in any event. Tho Judge (?) then
remarked that be was not prepared to
pay vne money mat uay, out gave me
most positive assurance that he would
do so, in the near future. He strongly
mpressed upon the farmor's mind the
fact that he did not want his name
montionod in connection with tho
transaction. Continuing the conver
sation, he said, "How soon would you

farmer replied, "As soon as possible."

waited for tho next ono. Ho came
pretty soon, and ho hud a coffin for a
coat and a shroud for a handkerchief,
and ho smolt liko tho dust which blows
off of a skeleton. Said he, "Jonos, I

met a ludy whosaidshodidn'tscewhat
they wanted to fill a pnpor lull of poli

"Don't they?" said Jones, "then on

went out. "1 m bound to pleaso cm

out all ot that sort of stuff at once.
Thon ho felt easior, till a lot of pretty

Jonos told tho young lady that be

that was his abomination in a news

tbe columns ot a local journal, bocauso
it was meant for magaxinos, and tbat

wont out and ordered all his fine

again, and a woman came in, and said
tbo fashion notes were not good, be
causo the magaxinos had them all in
greater quantity, and another thing
sho didn't liko, was the markets.
"What good was them I" sho said. "I

look around, and as ho was studying,
a small boy said that "marriage and
death notices was mighty thin readln',"
and Jones slung them clear out into
the corner. After this chango he went
over Into tbo counting room, and an
old man was there waiting to pay his
subscription, "llsagood popor, Jonos,
but in this placo you only want to take
notice of local affairs, anil let all tho
miscellaneous and general business go,"
and then Jones gave the old follow a
receipt and rushed back and took out all
the miscollanooua and general matter
that was left, and as he took out the
last handful a friend camo through tho

said Jones, and off camo tho head.
"Now, Mr. Foreman," ho continued,
"lock up tho lorms and send them

were duly locked and wont down, and
the paper camo out and wasdistribntcd

At ore than lad years ago a merchant
lost his fortune He went to Smyrna,
a seaside cityjot Asia Minor, to recovor
it. Alexander l'opo one of the great
poets of Kngland, was the merchant's
warm friend, and sympathized with
him in his misfortune.
Soon aftor tho merchant arrived In
Smyrna he sont to I'ope, as a present,
a box of driod figs. At that time tho
poet had built a beautiful villa at
itiiiauiiunui, uu tno liana, oi me
Thames, and wus adorning it with
troos, shrubbery and flowering plants.
On opening tbe box of figs Pope dis
covered in it a small twig of tho troo.
It was a stranger to him. As it came
from tho Kast he planted It in tho
ground near tbe river, close by bis
villa. Tbe spot accidentally chosen
for the planting was favorable to its
growth, for the twig was from the
weeping willow troo possibly from
the bunk of one cf "tho rivers ol

scares horses, is a difficult problem to
solve, and one as to which our pro

conjectured result. It certainly does

would seem, to affright even so littlo a

in a lew years it became a large treo,

There was a rebellion in the English
American colonics in 1775. llrilish
troops were sent to Boston to put
down the insurrection. Their loaders
expected it to end in a few weeks after
thoir arrival. Some young ofheors
brought fishing tackle with tbom to
enablo tbom to enjoy sport after thoir
brief war. Others came to sottlo on
the confiscated lands of tho "rebels."
Among the latter was a young officer
on tho Bluff of tienorul Howe. He
brought with bim wrapped in oiled silk
a twig from Pope's weeping willow
tree at Twinkcnham, which he intend
ed to plant on some stream watering
bis American estate.
Washington commanded an army
before Boston which kept tho British
imprisoned in that city a long timo
aguinst their will. On his staff was
his stepson, John Parke Custis, who
frequently went to tbe British head
quarters, under tbo protection of a
flag, with dispatches lor General Howe.
He bocamo acquainted with tho young
officer who bad tho willow twig, and
tney became lust mends.
Instead of "crushing tho rebellion
in six weeks," the British army at Bos.

nine months, wero glad to fly by sea,
for lifo and liberty, to Halifax. Long
before tbat flighl tbe British subaltern,

Horatio Gates, of tho Revolution set

he had brought wilh him. That

Gates' mansion, built of wood and two

Twickenham about 1722.

LIEBWS EXTRACT OF MEAT.
Baron von Liobig, Germany's groat
chemist, ascertained that the soluble
constituent ot 34 pounds of pure mus
cle moat (equal to 45 pounds of ordi
nary meat us it is received from the
butcher) may be concentrated by boil
ing to 1 pound of extract, sufficient for
tbe preparation of 190 parts ot bouillon.
With his koen perception be foresaw
that tho manufacture of this extract
might become a great industry. He
conceived the idea that the trunsnia
rine countries rich in cuttle might bo-
como tributary to the necessities of
Europe.
In the year 1850, at the beginning
of tbo manufacture, tho Royal Apothe
cary at Munich consumed scarcely one
hundred weight annually, that is, ono-
tenth part of an ox, and Liobig himself
did not imagine that in a score ot years
the number of cattle falling victims to
tbia industry would number millions.
This statement will not appear exag
gerated when it is considered that in
the Summer season there are led daily
to the. slaughtering bench from one
thousand to twelve hundred oxen.
The manufactory of Liebig's Extract
oi Meat Company lies on tbo eastern
(loft) shore of the Uruguay River in
that Slate, and is as important to Fray
Bontos as Krnpp's grout steel manu
factory is to Ksson.
Proceedingsyslematioally, we should
consider first the immense pasturing
lands upon which tbe cattle peacefully
graze. These cattle are children of the
Pampas, descendants of the European
cattle introduced by the Spanish con
querors. The large level pastures
wero especially suited to tbom, and
hero thoy increased greatly and now
rove in innumerable herds.
For tho manulacturo of tbe extract
the best pioces of meat aro selected, for
the simplo reason that these pieces are
tho most profitable for tho extract.
When the animals aro driven in from
tho Pampas to Fray Uentos they are
kept for a week upon tho pasturing
places mentioned, where thoy are per
mitted to rest and toed. Then they
are driven to tho corrals, great inch
i capable ol containing five thousand
oxen ; Irom here men mounted on
horseback, swinging their lassos, drivo
the cattle by degrees into other smaller
corrals, until finally the way is so nar
iow that the animals can only proceed
one behind the othor. A man stands
at the side upon a staging with a short
knifb. With unerring certainty he
strikes the animal close behind tbe
horns into tho spinal marrow. As if
struck by lightning the animal falls
dead upon a platform which rests upon
wheels. Iho body roils upon a track

School Boards and teachers desiring
an evening meeting nt the time tho
puuiic examination is held, should
make tho necessary arrangements pre
vious to the day of examination. One
or two speakers should be chosen for
the occasion, one or two cssuys by
teucbors read, a good room secured,
and sufficient music to intursperse the
exercises. These educational meet
ings are useful agencies in strengthen
ing our school work, and we hope to
aid in holding many of them during
the examination toiir. Lot it be cir
culated through the community that
such a mooting will be hold, and let
toachers and Directors perfect all nec
essary local arrangements for such
meetings.
DO TEACHERS WORKt
Among tno popuiur lunacies wnicu
are gaining prominence at the present
day, is one which concerns every
teacher. We rotor to the pornicious
idea that the teachers' profession is
but an easy calling, to which oue re
sorts when all other honorable profes
sions fail, and in which a person gen
teelly reposes until "somothing turns
up."
If ono agree that continued mental
labor is more exhaustive than continu
ed manual labor, he must acknowl
edge that forty-five hours a week,
spent in digging in the mines of the
brain, is more wearisome than the
same amount of work performed by
tho hands delving among mines of coal,
silver, or gold. It follows that there
aro few instructors who can teach on
until their yoars are drawing to a
close, and that some who fall out of
the ranks are those who go to join tbe
marrying throng many there are
who wear out, who die on the field of
action, just as bravoly striving as tbe
soldior in battle We know not a few
teachers who daily furnish tho world
with its bost examples of earnest.
patient labor.
it the world at large could realize
what the teachers' work is; that thoy,
more than persons of any other pro
fession, are ono of the most powerful
furmativo influences tbat America has,
it would no more complain it would
see its own Indolence, its own care
lessness in allowing men and women
to occupy tho position ol publio in

aro lazy,
PRIF.SS IH SCHOOL.
Is it best to offer prizes in schools ?
We know it has its advantages ; it acts
ns a mental stimulus, and rousos the
flagging interest of a few; all will not
strive lor the prize, and when one out
of the bard workers comes off victori
ous, there is always pain and sorrow
left for the unsuccessful competitors,
llosidcs, the teacher and parents never
agree as to the rightful distribution of
prizes. To be sure, in certain class
prizes, in prizes for attendance and de
portment, tbe teacher ought tn be the
Lost and truest judge. In prises for
doclamations, orations and essays, the
judges and audionce never agree, con
sequently, alter tbey are awarded
thoro is much talk, and disappointed
prize seekers are made to fool tbat thoy
have been unjustly doalt with. Some
one remarks, "yoa ought to have had
one of the prizos, yoa did evor so much
better than tno ono woo aid get It.
Again, pupils in their seal to obtaii
one ot the prize are tempted to de
ceive; to peek into books, and do
many unfair things. We knew a yoang
lady once, whoso compositions bad
boen so uniformly excellent through
out the lime of attendance that she
wits aiinoiniod to compete for the prize
offered for boat composition at close
ot school. Sbo rcceivod the second
prize and carried it home. Aftor a few
months, somebody discovered that she
had stolen her composition entire, as
sbo had probably been in the habit of
doing. Her case was reported to the
professor, who swooped down upon
her and causod hor to give np ner
prizo. She was a clorgyman's daugh
ter too, and bad received careful train,
ing. But the ambition to be smart
caused her to suffer a life long mortifi
cation. We do not believe in prizo
ourselves. Some children never will
be scholars. Prizes, love of parent
or teachers will never stimulate them
to a love of study. Many exoellont
teachors never offor prize. Tbey rouse
tbe children's ambition by fidelity, pa
tience and love. We do not expect
our opinion to have weight with all,
hut we express it, hoping it may in
duce some earnost worker to look care
fully Into tho matter and manner of
giving prizes, fortunate, in our opin
ion, is the school whose teacher can
keep ber pupils, interest the whole
school year wilhoat ft prise dangling
