Plant Fruit Trees.
If people generally, were as fond of
onltivatfcg fruit, as they are of eating
it. what a plentiful supply of this health
ful luxury we should have, and how
much better it would be for the interests
of aIL We frequently gaze with amaze
ment upon farms, than which none
could be better adapted to the cultiva
tion of nearly every kind of tree fruit,
but upon which Buch a thing as a fruit
tree is as great a rarity as snow in
harvest. We fail to understand how
it is possible that people can be so in
different to their own comfort, and their
own interests. If the setting out of a
hundred or two choice peach, pear, ap
ple, plum and cherry trees involved an
outlay of as many hundred dollars, we
could then understand why there are
so many farms, almost devoid of fruit
of any kind, but when such is not the
case, —when fifty dollars would clear
the entire expense, leaving out of the
question the cost of planting, which is
trifling, we confess to utter amazement,
and not unfrequently to a feeling of in
dignation. The farmer who does not cul
tivate as much fruit,asissufficient for the
largestpossible wants ofiiis family, is lit
tle less than a barbarian, for certainly he
must be wanting in one of the broadest
characteristics of true civilization, when
he deprives not only himself, but his
family, of what cannot be regarded as
other than the cheapest, most whole
some, and, though it may to some seem
a Btretch of imagination, elevating lux
uries. The cultivation of fruit exerts
upon the mind an influence not unlike
that of the cultivation of flowers. It is
refining in its tendencies. Where there
is an abundance of fruit, there is neces
sarily a smaller consumption of meat,
1 and consequently less grossness of phys
ical, as well as mental habit.
Go to work, then, farmers, and
especially those of you who have hith
erto neglected to plant fruit trees. Bo
not allow another Beason to pass over
your heads, without being able to say
that in a few years you have a reasona
ble prospect of a crop of fruit sufficient
for your families, and for the friends
who may need it.
Corn Fodder.
A falling off in milk, and the neglect
to provide food for soiling,inducesmany
to turn Btock into meadows early, and
before they have become thickly coated
with aftermarth. It is bad economy,
very injurious to meadows, while the
seemingly “fair feed” is swept away in
a few days, and a scanty yield of milk
Is the result for the balance of the sea
son. There is no crop, therefore, that
pays the da'ryman better one year with
another, than the few acres devoted to
corn fodder. Corn fodder should be
fed in the stalls, as there is no waste,
besides the stock thus fed are more quiet
and less disposed to hangabout, waiting
for their feed, as they do when the fod
der is given them in tho open field. —
Each cow in the stall gets its proper
share of food, and there is no hookiDg
or soiling of the fodder by master cows.
The herd should be fed regularly at
stated hours, and they soon become ac
customed to tho time, coming of their
own accord to the stables, and during
other portions of the day they will feed
more in the pastures.
Corn fodder for soiling should be wet
ted before feeding. It is a good plan to
cut in the morning and let it lay in the
sun till afternoon and then feed. In
this way some of the external moisture
will be got rid oil', and the food will be
preferred by animals, and produce bet
ter results. Corn fodder is very succu
leut, and does not need to be farther
diluted by feeding when the dew or
water is adhering to it. Better reduce
the water in it by wetting and partially
drying.
The Product of one Weed,
A gentleman desiring to know what
would be the influence of a single weed
upon UieugricuHure.of a lield or garden,
selected a plant of purslane (pusley or
pursley as called by some), and care
fully counted its number of pods. It
was a large, but not the largest, sized
plant from a rich spot of ground. The
number of its seed pods was 4,013. He
then took fourteen of the pods—seven
amalloned.four medium,and three of the
largest—aqd counted the seed in them.
The result gave us au average of ninety
seeds to the pod. Thus in this single
plant we have tiie enormous number of
•110,170 seeds. If these werespread over,
nplatof ground, and should all germi
nate, and a man should attempt to cut
them with a hoe, and should average
six plants at every blow, and make
thirty strokes of his hoe per minute, it
would take him thirty-eight hours and
twenty-three minutes to cut them out.
Or, if these weeds were equally dissem
inated at the rate of four to the square
foot, they would cover two and a third
acres of ground. Again, allowing only
one third of theseseed to germinate, and
that the product shall be only one-half
as rich in seed as this plant, yet they
will produce the astonishing number of
25,727,G28,150 seed—enough to cover
broad fields with weeds the third year
from one Beed. JDo not these figures
show the immense importance of cut
tiug and destroying every weed before
it goes to seed ? There is no doubt that
many other weeds are fully or more
prolific than this. It has been known
in wet weather to grow and mature its
seed long after it had been entirely sev
ered from the root.
Tell Tales, hut Truth Tellers,
It is a graDd mistake to suppose that
the dumb beasts upon a farm tell no
tales. When you call on neighbor C.
have you never noticed how the old
house dog pricks his ears and wags his
tail, the instaut his eve lights on his
master ? The owner may perhaps forget
to speak to the faithful old brute, but
just see how Carlo watches his opportu
nity and gives his master’s hand a gen
tle push, to remind him that he expects
the notice to which he has been accus
tomed. There is another place you
know of, where the poor terrier tells
another story, for no sooDer does that
grull* voice sound iu the doorway, than
the dog is offskulkiug into some out of
the way place, and glad to be able to do
that, without un pleas taut preliminaries.
A horse knows whether his old
master has hold of the reins, or
whether the young one has taken the
ribbons, the familiar “git’' is under
stood and the horse moves accordingly.
The idea that a horse is less affectionate
than some other animals is a mistake.
He is perhaps less demonstrative from
the exigencies of the case, for he caunot
well put his paw upon your knee or get
into the carriage, but in his way, he
will soon give you to understand that he
appreciates, those that treat him kind
ly. It is bad policy to lose the affection
even of a dumb beast, and to treat it
with undue severity is simply barbar
ousaudmeau. At best, its life is bad
enough, aud there is not a truer word
among all the proverbs of Solomon, than
that “a righteous mau lovetb the life of
his beast.” These poor creatures are ne
flatterers. Their evidences of attach
ment are the expression of outspoken
sincerity. If you are wise, you will
have as little to do as possible with any
man whose roughucss lias made his dog
afraid of him.
Bots in Horses.
I believe bots can be removed from
horses without harming them in the
least. First, give the horse two quarts
of new milk, sweetened with one quart
of molasses; second, fifteen munutes
after,give the horse two quarts of strong
sage tea, third, twenty minutes after
giving the sage tea, give the’horse three
pints of currier’s oil. The bots fill them
selves with the milk aud molasses and
become lazy, the strong sage tea shrivels
them up, anti the currier’s oil, acting as
a cathartic, carries them from the stom
ach, when they pass away from thehorse.
In giving the medicine put an open
bridle on the horse, take him into the
barn floor, step upon a girt or scaffold
draw the horse’s head gently over the
beam, holding up on the bridle, when
his lower jaw will drop ; then insert the
neck of a bottle, and pour the contents
gently down the horse. Do not gag the
horse or pour the medicine into his nose.
This is.a simple remedy, easily applied.
I have seen it tested, and am convinced
of Its efficacy.— Few England Farmer.
Trim Your Trees,
This is only to remind you of the ne
cessity of this branch of horticulture.
The Agriculturalist and other journals
describe the proper method of pruning.
If the limbs are Jarge and you must use
the ax (some prefer a saw), have it very
sharp and not cut too close at first; com
mence on the under side of the limb, so
that it does not peel the bark when fall
ing, and then dress the wound close up
to the main stem. If it is a fruit tree, a
little melted grafting wax or composi
tion brushed over the wound is very
good. But I was going to say ti im those
locust and other trees along the roads and
lanes, so that persons will not scratch
their faces and tear the oil cloth on their
wagons while driving along. If locust
trees were kept properly trimmed they
would make Better timber for posts Ac,

‘flolonel Henry MoKenty, one of the early
oioneera and most widely-known citizens
5f Minnesota, committedstfleideatSt.Paul
recently by shooting himself through the
hoad. He had been for some days residing
with the family of Mr. C. !>• Gilfillanj at
No. 65 East Tenth street. Having already
made one attempt at self-distraction by
taking laudanum, he had been placed Under
medical treatment, and was anxiously
watched by his wifewbo was apprehensive
that he might again seek to put an end to
his existence. While Mrs. McKenty and
Mrs. Gilfillan were engaged in the kitchen,
it being about 4 o’clock in the afternoon,
and no men about the house, an
explosion was heard in Col. McKen
ty’s room. Mrs. McKenty went up imme
diately and found her husband standing in
the middle of the room with a revolver in
bis hand. There was a bullet-hole through
the Looking glass; and as Colonel McKenty
was.uninjured, it was evident that in his
nervousness he had missed bis aim. She
asked him to give up the revolver; and
after trying for some time in vain to get the
weapon from him, went down stairs to try
to obtain the assistance of some man. A
few moments after she heard a second dis
charge, and flying to the room found him
as before with the revolver in his hand, a
bullet-bole in the wall, near the ceiling
showing that he had again missed his aim.
He assured her that the pistol was now
empty, and therefore that he coulu do him
selfno harm, but refused to give it up. She
then went down and told their little daugh
ter to run for Dr. Phillips, who lives on
Pearl street. As she descended the stairs a
third time, she heard another shot, and on
entering the room fonod the poor man lying
unconscious on the floor. He had fallen
heavily against the stove, and. the blood
was oozing from a bullet hole intherigljt
temple. Colonel McKenty was born* in
Chester County, Pa., and came to St. Paul
in June, 1851: He began to deal largely
in real estate, and soon became the
leading operator in tho State. He was
strictly honest,- and a man who 36 word
was as good as his bond. The fearful crash
of 1857-8 crushed his fortune to atoms, and
left him destitute. Duriog the oil-excite
ment in Pennsylvania, he concluded to go
there and see If he could not redeem his
fortunes. Borrowing a few hundred dol
lars, he wont there in 18G5, only to be pur
sued by the same relenctless fHte which had
scattered his previous accumulations. Af
•‘ter an utter failure he returned home, aud
in 1868, by the assistance of a few friends
with whom fortune had dealt more kindly,
he was supplied with money and started to
Calilornia. All his efforts at speculation,
however, proved unsuccessful; and about
six weeks ago ho returned to this city, and
has since been seekingemployment. Mean
while be was laboring under great mental
depression, which culminated at last in sell
destruction, as above related.
Shocking Tragedy.
At half past 12 o’clock on Monday morn
ing a terrible tragedy occured at tho Hake
View House, at tho corner of Seneca and
Summit streets, on the bank of the lake.
Philip Gilmartin, proprietor of the house,
shot and instantly killed his son, Thomas
Gilmartin, while the latter was attempting
to enter the bouse. The circumstances, us
related by the father, who is a gray-haired
old man, sixty-three years of ago, are as fol
lows : He retired with his wife, at the usual
hour, aud tho lights were extinguished.
Thomas was not then in the house, but this
was nothing uncommon for him, as be was
in the habit of beiDg out about the city at all
hours of tne night. At the time mentioned,
Mr. Gilmartin and his wife were awakened
by the rattling of a window sash, and were
soon convinced that some person was at
tempting to enter. Being old people, and
haviug a sum of money iu tho house, they
were naturally suspicious of burglars. The
uoise was at a window ou north side of the
house, opening into a room adjoining their
sleeping upartment. Mr. Gilmartin had in
bis room au old Harper’s Ferry musket,
shortened to the length of a carbine, which
ho kept loaded for au emergency of this
kind. Taking this in his hand, he proceed
ed to the window. Discerning in the dim
light the form of a man just in the act ol
clambering upon the sill, the Anver half of
the sash having been removed, he first chal
lenged the intruder with : “Who’s there?”
but he did not receive any reply. Feeling
satisfied that he was a burglar, Mr. Gilmar
tin immediately raised his gun and fired.
The man fell upon the outside without a
cry or moan. The report ardused the other
inmates of ibe house and some of the neigh
bors, and for a lew inmutes a scene of the
wildest excitement prevailed. Upon going
to the spot the man was found where he fell,
in the expiring agonies of death. Tho hor
ror and amazement of the aged father and
the other members of tbe family, when they
recogtiized the face of Thomas Gilmartin,
can be but faintly imagined. A physician
was immediately sent for, and the still
breathing man was takon into the house.
The physician soon arrived, but nothing
could bo done, aud bo died wilhiu a few
minutes. After being shot he neither spoke
nor gave nuy sign of consciousness. Tho
ball, which was a large one, entered the
right eye and passed entirely through the
head, emerging at the back side. The bead,
torn and mangled, presented a shocking
spectacle. The police were immediately
notified of the affair, and Sergeant Kinney
with several men repaired to the house.
Mr. Gilmartin was taken into custody with
out resistance and confined in a cell at the
Ceutral Station, until an official investiga
tion of the affair can be had. He is known
as an innocent, inoffensive old gentleman.
He was almost overcome with grief at the
terrible deed he had unwittingly commit
led: The gun was taken to the station
house to be shown at the investigation. Tbe
coroner will bold an iuquest this morning,
when some further light may be thrown
upon the mutter. As tbe case appears there
is not the slightest evidence of any crimi
nality upon the part of Mr. Gilmartin, aud
he will probably bo discharged. The de
ceased was 29 years of ago and was a noto
riously bad character. —Cleveland Herald.
Return of a Confederate Prisoner to
Arkansas.
The following is from the Little Hock
(Ark.) Gazette of July 25 :
NTbe Jacksonport Herald and Batesville
Times have lengthy accounts of the capture
and imprisonment, for six years, of Mr. H.
11. Leo, a cousin of General K. E. Lee, and
formerly a citizen of Madison, in this .State.
In November, ISG2, he was arrested in
Memphis, on a charge of speculating in
Confederate money, put iu the Irving Block
for one night, and then shipped for Camp
Douglas, in Illinois. Arriving there, the
officer refused to receive him because
there was no law forbidding specuiatiou
in money of any kind. The lieutenant
having him in charge then started with
him to Rock Island, accompanied by seven
guards. They weutto Milwaukie, Wiscon
sin, and were going to put Lee in jail for
safe keeping until they could bavo a spree.
About this time Leo and one of his guards,
who'accompanied him, escaped, but were
soon recaptured. Mr. Lee was then im
prisoned In Milwaukee jail, and kept in
close confinement for two and a half years
without a trial. At the end of that time he
was taken out and sentenced (without a
trial) to four years imprisonment in the
Sialo prison, at Madison, Wisconsin. Dur
ing these four years he was not allowed
to write to his friends, or reud a book
or newspaper of any kind, but was
effectively excluded from the world.
During this lime his health was good. The
lime for release came, lie went to Cinein
naii, where he heard that his wife was dead,
and ho could hear nothiug of his child.—
From there he went to Memphis, where he
was received by his friends as one risen
from the dead, and learned the joyful news
that his wife and child, the latter a grown
young lady, were both living, and at Bales
ville. The telegraph was used iu announc
ing to his wile his safety, and staling that
lie would meet her at Jacksonport on the
lJth. Kays the Herald : “They met, and
such a meeting as it was never occurred
within our knowledge. The joy oflby wile
at Ibo sight of her restored husband was too
great, and swoon after swoon followed in
rapid succession.” From hero they went
to Batesville, their future homo, where we
leave them, trusting that a long aud happy
life may*be vouchsafed to the happy family,
and trusting that this is the last Oonfeder
erate prisoner.”
A Sad Romance—Tlie Wife of a Day—l.ove
In IK'ath,
Some three years a young Gorman,
whose family had am migrated to this coun
try came East from Sun Fraucisco to pur
sue his studies for the Presbyterian minis
try, at Priucetou College. His health was
feeble, and it was thought best for him to
spend his vacations as much in the open
air as possible. He accordingly hired him
self to a furmer, in Bucks county, Pa., and
spent the summer in outdoor occupation ol
a light character.
A few days ago, when the Pacific railroad
had just been completed, aud the public
were still talking of the last spike with the
golden head, a young lady purchased in
Philadelphia one of the very first through
tickets for San Francisco. She was the fair
daughter of a Quaker farmer who lived near
where the young German student had been
employed during his vacation. They bad
met, loved and engaged to be married. But
his health had grown worse, and his family
had sent for him to ceme back to California.
Letters from him to the Bucks county farm
house told only of still further decline.
The young girl pined under her trouble.
At last, one Saturday, came a telegram ask
ing her to come to him at once. Her be
trothed was sinking fast. On Tuesday she
was on her way. The road of iron that
spans the continent was safely traversed,
and she reached San Francisco.
The rest of the story is briefly told. The
newspapers of Eastern Pennsylvania, a
month ago, announced under the head of
“Married,” the wedding, in San Francisco,
June 24th, of a gentleman of that city to a
lady of Bucks county, Pa. Following it,
under the head of “Died,” San Francisco,
June 251 b, was the name of the husband.
The wedding had been by a death bed.
The Quaker girl was the bride of a day.
Grant ami Colfax Losing Popularity Id
tne West.
The Washington correspondent of the N,
Y. i/eraWJsays:
A Republican politician of
Indiana, who arrived here last evening,
givos it as his opinion that the Democrats
will be snccessful at the local elections in
that State this fall. The dissatisfaction with
the administration is very great, and has
been brought about by the character of
Grant’s appointments, his lack of a decided
foreign policy and the extravagance of the
Congressional traveling committees. Col
fax, this gentleman says, has lost whateyer
popularity he had in Indiana, and a strong
party-of politicians is being organized to
oppose bis aspirations to the Presidency.—
The Bejmblicans have lost all confidence
in Graht, and are bitterly regretting his
election. - The gentleman who brings this
report was a delegate to the Chicago Con
ventlonand the most prominent manipula
tor for tbe nominatioa of Colfax.
Bader’s Opinion of Grant.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette relates the following
current anecdotes;
When Ben Bntler heard of Grant’s com
plicity with Benter and Walker and Dent
and Hamilton, to get op a “Grant party”
at the Sonth, be wrote here that the General
was ambitioiißof another term—and should
be watched 1 When (very recently) it turn
ed oat that the President threw away this
chance at the command of such a pigmy
as Bout well, and threw op his military
cap for Stokes and Alcorn and Wells and
Davis, Butler, shrewdly enough, wrote
emphatically that he was a “d—-d fool,
and needed no watching any longer.”—
Grant has irretrievably split his- party at
the South, and although he is now under
the leading strings of Chandler, of Norfolk,
who wants to come to the Senate from
Virginia, and will doubtless iliegallyturn
out of the Legislature of that State the
very men he did more than any one
else to elect, still the real mischief is.irre
mediable. The whole South is gone!
Another anecdote of General Butler: At
the time of the famouß “ Yerger comprom
ise,” the “ General” was in town—(l mean
in this city). Addressing a fellow-Badicai,
he said: “ I don’t blame Grant for this, he
doesn’t see his agreement substantially
surrenders the question of jurisdiction, and
places the Supreme Court beyond Congres
sional legislation. He has agreed to sus
pend judgment until the Court decides.
Cases will arise of which he knows nothing
of the hearing. In surrendering what he
has (so far as ne can do so), he has disrupt
ed the Republican party. I don’t blame
him for this, however, (as I have said), he
knows no more of law or statesmanship
than Boutwell himself. But be should have
known better than to have appointed a
ninnyhammer to the Attorney Generalship
—one of the most important posts in the
American or any other Government.”
Bearing in mind these observations, the
following purport of what Butler said after
tbe news had reached him that Gen. Grant
had ordered the Marshal of New York to
resist with military force the sacred writ of
habeas corpus , will be better understood:
“1 have given his Excellency credit for all
the negative viitues, and have excused his
action in his brief career as best I could;
but in this matter, sir, I can find but one
excuse, sir —he must have been half seas
over , sir! There were so many ways to
avoid this direct issue besides making tbe
Government the insurrectionary party !
Pierrepont will fix it. He is a lawyer. The
man can be strung up without putting the
country by the ears! Let them employ

Tetter from] Judge Dent.
A correspondent of the Jackson (Miss.)
Clarion has furnished the following extracts
of a letter from Mr. Louis Dent, the pro
spective nominee of the“ National Republi
cans, and, adds the Clarion, the aecepted
caudidato of the people of Mississippi for
Governor;—
I am gratified at the election in Virginia
and earnestly hope for Mississippi a like
happy result. It is upon this basis that we
may hope for a speedy restoration of good
government in the South, with her discord
ant elements reconciled and her true men
of all parties re-united. On the basis of the
election there is the commencement of a
new era in the politics of.the country, and
it is gratifying that so many good and wise
men are luying hold of li as the panacea for
all our political ills.
The time has arrived for breaking boldly
away from the prejudices and precedents of
the past. The policy adopted in Virginia is
the dawn of a better feeiing. It will change
the whole surface of Southern politics, aud
transmute what has been under the recon
struction acts an element ot discord into a
resource of reconciliation. The question of
negro suffrage pending the fifteenth amend
ment becomes fixed and irrevocable, RDd if
wisely managed tho measure may happily
become the means of more nearly adjusting
the balance of power between the North
and the South. The great agricultural
aud commercial interests of Mississippi,
in which my whole soul is enlisted—
their resuscitation and development—
are yet to constitute no small share of
tbe political lopics of the future of our
State; and in view of this fact, together
with the earnest appeals which have come
from so many sources no less respected than
patriotic, I have consented to become a
candidate for tbe office of Governor. lam
uot without distrust of my fitness for so
distinguished and responsible u position :
but utu cheered by the assurance that If
elected I shall have the hearty aud earnest
co operation of wise and virtuous men of
all parties iu establishing good government,
harmonizing her every interest, and restor
ing the Stale once more to her proper rela
tions to the Federal Uuion. I have the
honor to bo, your friend sincerely.
The.Dronglit in Virginia.
The Lynchburg Virginian of Saturday
has most distressing accounts of the effect
of the prevailing drought from all parts of
the State. The Virginian adds:
“Vegetation is literally burning up. The
grass has almost disappeared in some sec
tions, while the corn has become so shriv
eled, twisted and stunted, that even copi
ous rains from this time forth could not
save it. It some parts of the State there has
not beon a good rain for nearly ten weeks,
aud during all this time we have not had in
this vicinity more than two or three brief
showers. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances now, if it should be seasonable
all through tho remainder of this month,
and early frosts should not set in to blight
what remains of late corn, there will not be
more than the third of an average crop of
corn in the State. In many sections there
will be none at all, and much suffering will
be the result of this failure. Had we not
been favored with an abundant crop of
wheat, the situation of our planters would
have been distressing indeed ; and, as it is,
many of them will find it hard work to pay
taxes and provide for their households.
“ In the above, we have spoken only of
tho corn crop, and have said nothing about
that other great staple, tobacco. With
many of our planters this is the main de
pendence to bring them in ready money.—
The wheat crop has been so precarious
iu this section lor years past tnat the plant
ers have not sown much ; and it is a mat
ter for sincere regret with many that they
did not sow a larger breadth of soil last fall,
which would have enabled them, in view
of the favorable yield of wheat, to bridge
over the trouble that will be occasioned by
the short crop of corn and tobacco. The
growing crop of tobacco gives very little
promise of a fair yield, and even if it should
under tho inlluence of genial showers—
much too long delayed—take a fresh start
and recover partially from the effects of the
drouth, it will be so late in maturing as to
subject it to he hazard of frost in the fall,
thereby creating the necessity for cutting it
before it is perfected. There is great reason
to apprehend that tho crop will be short and
of inferior quality, that will bring only
short prices. Upon the whole, therefore,
the farmers and planters in much the larg
er poi tion of Virginia will not be likely to
realize a year of good results.
Narrow Escape from a Shocking Death.
On Friday last, a German named Miller,
lately arrived in Baltimore, cadre near los
ing his liie, iu that city in a singular man
ner. 110 was alone in his room, in an
upper story, unloading a huge iron-bound
chest about the size of a small ark, and
twice as large as a three story Ssratoga
trunk. .When he had nearly completed the
work.aiid while leuuing over to get some
article at the bottom ot the chest, Miller
lost his balance and fell in. His heels
struck the lid aud brought it down, making
him a fast prisoner by means of the spring
lock attached. The old fashioned strength
of the chest and fastenings resisted the pris
oner’s most vigorous efforts to break his
bonds, aud his half-stifled cries could not
be heard by tho other inmates of the house,
who were all down stairs. The agony of
tho moment was intense, as may be well
imagined, considering the narrow confiues
ol such a prison and the remoteness of all
help. Fortunately, the window of the room
was open, aud the suppressed cries of suf
fering were heard by alady in an adjoiniug
yard, who instituted inquiries, and these
led to an investigation, in which the search
ers were directed to tho trunk by the means
ol tho imprisoned man. There was no time
lordolay. An axe was speedily brought to
bear upon the trunk and the lid forced
open. The poor mau Jwas found to be al
most exhausted, but was soon revived by
tbefreshairand prcperapplicatious, though
it will bo some days before he is completely
over the terrible fright tho accident has
given him.
A Diamond Ring- Found Through a
Dream,
A few nights .’ago, says the Louisville
Journal, a lady, while taking a
walk, lost a valuable diamond ring from
her finger in some unaccountable way.—
Diligent and extensive search was made,
without any clew to the ring, and the lady
gave it up as gone “ for good and all.” Be
fore daylight the following morning the
lady was surprised by the calls of her nurse
a small negro girl. On being admitted to
her mistress, the girl, who had not heard of
the ring being lost, said she bad just had a
dream, in which she was apprised when,
where, and how the jewel had been lost,
and that, if allowed, she felt sure she could
find it. She then described the place and
manner in which the ring disappeared, and
begged her mistress to go with her and
test the dream. This strauge circum- ,
stanco was made known to the household,
but all treated it with theutmostincreduli
ty. It was afterward concluded to humor
the girl, however, and she and several
white members of the family proceeded to
the dslgnated spot, more than a hundred
yurds from the house. Here the dreamer
told her mistress that, as directed in her
dream, she must drop another ring, it
would roll as a guide to the missing one. A
plain ring was handed the girl, she let it
fail, and sure enough it rolled and stopped
within two inches of the lost diamond ring,
which had got into a crevice between two
bricks of the pavement. It may be imag
ined that the ring-hunters were somewhat
astounded at the miracle. There is not the
least fiction about this curious dream and
its result.

A Rlt.l ot Brtskam Ttot
The Washington correspondent of- the
Cincinnati Commercial it making some rich
developments of tbe canyings on of mem*
ben oiCongress and other government of
ficials. The following, in reference to tbe
“ Chief of a Bureau,” Is abonta fair sample
of the morals of the Grant Administration.
He writes:- m „
A gust of wind will sometimes make
queer revelations. It will lift a vail, and
show you a hideously marked face, or a
skirt, and exhibit a deformed limb. Sweep*
log through tbe forest it will lift an autumn
leaf from tbe earth, and disclose under it a
nest of horrible, notions vermin. It has
been shown that it will unoover as curious
moral deformities. One day there came a
whiffing breeze around the corner of a Gov
ernment department, not far from the Inte
rior, sweeping in behind the massive col
onades. and carried a letter lying on the
table of a female clerk through the open
window. , ,
The lady clerk had read the letter, and
had gone hastily indignant from the room
to consult the gentlemanly chief of the bu*
react upon its contents. The letter was writ
ten by a sister clerk in an adjoining room,
who had just made the startling discovery
that tbe person to whom it was addressed
was a rival in an unlawful Intimacy with
the chief of the bureau. The letter, in its
turn, had just maddened the receiver by a
similarly surprising development Mean
while a news-boy—the of the Wash
ington streets—had caught the fluttering
letter out of the window, and returned it to
the room from which it came. It was re
ceived there into.the generaljpossession of
the lady occupants of the room. Another
of them catching its contents was shocked
by a doubly exasperating surprise, but
prudently withheld the letter from further
observation.
Tbe owner, returning, accused her of
theft; and under mutual recriminations,
there transpired the trinity of secrets. Tbe
breeze had discovered three mistresses, in a
single department , to its chief .
Begnlating Liquor Traffic In Sweden.
The sale of spirituous liquors in Gothen
burg, Sweden, after a variety of experi
ments by the authorities, is carried ou ac
cording to tbe following method: A reform
society of gentlemen oi high sooial standing
has obtained entire control of the traffic Id
spirits in the city, under an agreement to
apply the whole of the profits above ex
penses for the benefit of the poor. The
society, it is reported, has reduced the num
ber of licensed houses to less than forty, one
third of the former number, and has bound
the proprietors to sell only at fixed prices,
giving a profit of only one aud a-half per
cent., with obligations to keep a supply of
all harmless drinks, Including beer, at
whatever profits they coaid command, thus
making it the interestiof the venders to sell
these drinks instead of liquors. The effect,
it is asserted, has been an almost entire ces
sation of drunkenness.
Rosecrans* Little Game.
We have to go to a Western paper to learn
that General Rosecrans’ little game iu de
clining the Domination for Governor of Ohio
was founded upon an intention to proceed
to New York, and, if possible, form a grand
company lor the purpose of constructing a
railroad from tbe city of Mexico to Acapul
co, on the Pacific coast. That is a splendid
scheme, and if Rosecrans succeeds in carry
ing it out he is likely to find himself better
off than if he were elected Governor of Ohio
ten times over> But Rosey talks too much
His vanity w qi no t permit him to keep a
secret no matter how good a thing be has in
hand. And would not be surprising it
this new project of a railroad from the city
of Mexico to the Pacific coast were to result
iu *moro profit to others than himself just
from this premature ventilation of his de
sign in an obscure town iu the interior of
Mexico. Let General Rosecrans emulate
General Grant and keep his mouth shut.—

. Chlucsc Carolina.
Information has been received iu Wash
ington to the effect that a large number of
planters iu South Carolina have entered
into contract with an immigration agent for
several hundred Chinese laborers, the first
ship load expected to arrive about
the first of January next. One successful
rice planter has contracted for 250, and
others for 10, 20, 50, (fee. No payment is to
be made until the. Chinese arrive and com
mence work on the plantations. There
seems to be a great demand.for them by
planters throughout the South.
A complete revolution, in weaving is
prophesied from the introduction of a meth
od by which the woof is carried through
the chain in a curve instead of at a right
angle. A variety in tho pattern, both in
shade and markings, can bo attained in. this
way or which the old process was wholly
incapable. This new process is adapted to
fabrics of any kind, and can be used both
for weaving by hand and with power looms.
