A TRUE STORY.
MY NAME'S UAH'LlNE."
Aflerlda SUetca et m IJrlrut Little Xepy
and or Her Fatnetic Fate.
Hamilton Jay In Philadelphia Times.
Who she- was and where she came from
was always a mystery te us. Her coming
was as unexpected as a summer shower,
and turned out te be as fully grateful.
The circumstances of her arrival among
us were out of the usual line, and the
result a blessing in disguise.
One languid, sultry day in August, we
were all sitting en the wide, roomy piazza,
eager te catch every flutter of breeze that
might arise, when a tern and dusty little
figure opened the gate and came down the
path. Flinging herself wearily beiere us
she said : "My name's Cah'liue, an' I
want te stay widyeu."
It was a child of about twelve years,
smalf and delicate looking, black as the
shadow of midnight, bat with a bright,
pleasant face, and small features almost
Caucasian in their outlines.
The child was half starved and evidently
worn out by a long and toilsome journey,
and her faculties at first seemed te be iu a
half benumbed state. All that we could
obtain from her in the way of information
was that her name was Cah'line.
A geed bath and a generous meal ere
atcd such a wonderful transformation in
her that the head of affairs decided te
keep her, and se Cah'line became the
chirp girl of our little household. She
proved te be very faithful and affectionate,
quick aud willing te learn, very clean and
neat in her person and habits and exceed
ingly handy in her small but useful
sphere.
With the cows and calves she early
made friends, giving names of her own in
ventien te them all, which they readily
lcaired te recognize, particularly when a
slice of watermelon was the reward.
She knew all the places where the hens
were accustomed "te lay ; would crawl
under the barn or ether buildings, through
high weeds and brambles in shady fenca
corners, and always with success, mean
while crooning te herself a song, wh030
burden was:
Get ye ready.
Get ye ready.
You'll have te take a little mero bread,
Fer dar ain't no c!abb6f here !
Even the wisest old hen knew that it
was a waste of time te try and hide her
nest from the sharp, keen eye3 of Cah'line.
The family deg, a wise, well bred and
gentlemanly terrier, regarded her at first
with grave doubts and dignified suspicion,
but seen became her sworn ally, aud the
tv70 had many a happy romp togcther.
Differing strangely from all ethers of her
race whom we had known, the watermelon
in the various stages et its growth and
beauty had for her no charms ; her palate
barely tolerated corn bread and rejected
hominy altogether. But a slice of cake
was te her a glimp30 of heaven aud a
piece of candy a symphony of surpassing
i.wcetness. fler leve of finery was
strongly developed, and her pride aud
satisfaction unbounded in a pair of flaming
t-carlct garters, although she did net con
sider the usual accompaniment of stock
hips at all necessary.
She early learned te sew, aud get along
very well in that line, with the exception
of an unusual parsimony in regard te
stitches.
Her language was replete with rich
similes aud idioms of the met amusing
kind.
fler affection fei her misttess was gen
uine and intense. Sometimes she would
steal ceftly uu behind and slip her arms
abent her mistress' waist, and when the
latter would mildly expostulate at the
familiarity she would say, "Ob, Mis3
Lizzie, de let me alone ; yen knew I leve
you se much."
Always bright aud cheeiful anil talka
tive, she gave Ine and animation te our
household all adults and was treated
mete as ene of tbe family than as a ser
vant and of the despised race.
She was very liberal iu regard te the
letters of the alphabet and seldom used
tbe pronoun "it" without bestowing upon
it the extra letter "h." Fer inr.tance, her
mibtress would a-k the question, " Cah'
line, wheie is the water rail ?' aud the
answer would be, "Youner hit, light byde
deer."
In buildiug fires she was an expert and
in her hands a few slivers of pine would
develop unusual powers of combustion.
She was proficient also in the ruder
elements of cookery, such as frying ' hog
meat" and makiti!' I-W2 celUrds tender
and succulent.
She was a handy milker and seemed te
possess a faculty of leaseaing and a power
of scductive persuasion that would event
ually bring the most refractory and impsu
itcntcew te terms.
Te see her cat rying watermelons te her
favorite cows was a picture in itself. She
would walk from the lower field of the
plantation te the honse with a melon under
each arm and one balanced caiefully en
her head.
Going te the front gate she would cal!
the cows by name and they would run te
meet her. steppintr at a respsctful disUnej
te receive the delicious morsels thrown te
them.
Her special faverite among the maek maek
eyed kine were called by the euphonious
names of "Kcddy" aud "Slew feet." The
latter name was evidently the inspiration
of seme inuate spark of genius.
The plantation of whiah she wa3 a part
and parcel was very near a railroad, and
seme attention and labor was necessary te
keep the cattle from reaming en the track
while trains were passing and this duty
fell te tbe share of Cah'line.
One day we heard an unusual commo
tion en the track, a succession of shrill
whistles and then a sudden stoppage of
the traiu. We arrived there in time te see
a tern and mangled form taken out from
under the cruel wheels. As we bent ever
it in tears the pain-stricken eyes, ever
which the gray film of death was slowly
dtifting, opened, and the peer voice faint
ly whispered te her loved mistress : "Miss
Lizzie, I couldn't cit ole Slew-feet effen
de track." A tremor shook the peer,
broken frame and the eyes closed
this life ferever, te open where He
who said " Suffer little children te
unto Me." and did net mean the

Financial Affairs.
A private meeting of the creditors of
Wright Worcester & Ce., was held en
Tuesday in Bosten. The firm reported
their direct liabilities at ?4b3,uw. anu
contingent inabilities at about 100,000
The assets available for the payment of
the$4G2,000 aggregate $108,000. They
arc cxcleB.ve of $38,000 invested iu mining
stock and $78,000 invested in a cattle
ranch in the west, en account of the latter
of which netes for about the amount have
been issued. The $78,000 in notes are
included iu the liabilities.
The directors of the city national bank
of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, have beeu no
tifled from Washington that they " may
settle up its affair in any way they may

can pay 50 per cent of its indebtedness in
39 days and the remainder in 30 days.
The liabilities of Jeseph H. Paul, the

are estimated at $70,000.
A NEW WHEAT CODNTBY.
Tha Staple Crep of Mexico.
Public Ledger.
Within the memory of thousands of tbe
readers of the Ledger, Lancaster county
in this state was the banner wheat country
in the United States ; but the great wheat
raising section has since then moved west
ward through Ohie, Indiana, Illinois te
the Kansas Iowa-Minnesota district ; and
the last decade has seen the tremendous
development of California as a grain grow
ing state, and the rapid rise of the North
ern Pacific wheat fields.
Anether great grain field, vast enough
te effect the supply and consumption of
the world, and te enter into serious com
petition with the United States and Russia
the two leading wheat exporting coun
tries of the world new shows in sight in
Mexico, and appears te be coming te the
front as part of the great commercial and
industrial reconstruction of that land by
the' American railways. The physical
formation of Mexico is simply an exten
sion southward of the great Colerado
mountain base plateau. Wheat grows en
the plateau of Mexico at from 6,000 te
9,000 feet above sea level, and between
the 18th and 24th parallels of latitude.
Cern grows everywhere, except en
certain waste districts along the north
ern frontier, where the Beil is the
same as the alkali plains of Arizona
and New Mexico. The wheat grow
ing area of Mexico, par excellence, extends
from, say I'uoble nearly te Celima, about
500 miles east and west and, from Southern
Michoacan Zacatecas, about 400 miles
north' and south. This plateau is broken
by mountain ranges into a number of rich
districts specially adapted for the growing
of wheat, namely the Lamia valley,
roughly, 200 by IC miles; the Bajie
(northern Michoacan, Jalisco and Southern
Guanajuata) 200 by 200 miles, Aguasca
lientes 50 by 50 miles ; the San Luis Potosi
and Queretare district 150 by 30 nniles.
Total, say 52,000 square miles. Of this
immense field of rich and arable land ene
third, it is believed, could be readily put
iute wheat with due regard te the ether
agricultural interests of the country.
Under the Mexican plan of cultivation
three crops are takeu off the land every
two years one crop et wheat and two
ci eps of corn. The average wheat yield
of Mexico new does net exceed 20 bushels
te the acre. Cern en irrigated laud runs
about 50 ; en dry laud about 30 bushels te
the acre. The mode of cultivation is simi
lar te that of the Egyptiaus thousands of
years age. Woedeu beam plows are used,
with a small iron shoe, which seratches a
furrow five inches bread by five deep. Five
men are used and five yeke of oxen, where
ene would be needed in Pennsylvania.
Nevertheless, the wheat raised is of the
very finest quality. At the Centennial
oxpesitiou Mexico took the first price for
wheat. Threshing is dene by driving
mares areuud evor a circular tile or stone
fleer, winnowing by men tossieg the grain
and chaff iute the air with scoop shovels,
and transportation from the field te the
farm house or railway station is ou pon
derous two wheeled ex carts, in which the
ex pulls about threo pounds of cart te ene
pound of lead.
Apart from the 52,000 sqture miles
spoken of abeve, which is the choice
wheat producing area, thera is sufficient
eutlyinji wheat, barley aud corn laud new
under actual cultivation te supply the
present population of Mexico, ten mil
lions. These peeple are at present fed en
grain raised just whero they live, thexe
having beeu up te this time uu organized
machiuery for transportation of products
from ene part of the country te the ether.
Mexico is substantially a corn-fed nation,
soven-eighlhs or iuoie of the people living
habitually en tortillas. Were tlm wheat
area cultivated te its full capacity, namely
17,333i square miles, it is estimated that
it would yield, under present conditions,
20 bushels of wheat and 40 bushels of corn
per acre, as fellows :
First year, wheat crop, 221,8CC,GC0
bushels.
First year, corn cr p, 133,733,320 bush
els. Sseeud yetr, or:i crop, 433,733,320
bushelf-.
Or siy ai .ivjrae of 110,003,000 bushels
of wheat and 440.000.000 bushels of corn
every year.
But under the modern conditions of
agriculture, with improved machinery
and systematic feeding of thn soil", a much
larger yield is anticipated. By the end of
1834 Mexico will probably enjoy a reason
ably thorough railway system, Viz , two
trunk lines at least, from the capital te
the United State.s, having also geed branch
lines te the gulf ports of Vera Cruz, Tam Tam
pice, Matamoras and Corpus Christi. The
laud jr .Mcxie is largely held in huge
estates, elten like thesa of the great land
owners of England. The Bustamcnte
estate, for instance, extends ever portions
of three states, and the line of the Nation
al 1 ail way 1 tins through it for fifty milep.
These vast estates, with the fact that in
the central part of Mexico at least, they
are of clearer land, will enable the wheat
tn owing area te be put rapidly under cul
tivatieu when once the railsways open tip
a market for wheat.
The Mexican wheat raiser, however, ia
seriously handicapped iu oae tespact, 1. 0.,
by the vicious system of state taxes which
prevails all evor the republic. Some
states tax the production of wheat, ethors
the -importation of it into or tnreugu tueir
borders. This tax is uncertain, varies
with every state, and i3 burdenseme. Men
who have lived long in Mexico, aud are
well acquainted with the country, allege
that it is well nigh impossible te codify or
keep traek of these state imposts which
are laid without system or any bread
knowledge of political economy. They
compute, hovvevcr, that they can be
roughly estimated at about ene per cent,
en the value of nearly everything raised
or brought into the state. This is one of
the things which keeps Mexico se peer,
relatively te her large population and im
mense resources.
