HARVESTING CRANBERRIES. 1 _____ riMirfHM SrwN la Us Ureal Sank tl Wtsesaals. Berlin, Wia., says a correspondent of the New York Tribune, is sneeringly dubbed the Cranberry City by the news papers of rival towns, and at picking time the visitor is impressed with the thought that it is no misnomer. All other business interests then seem sub servient to this, for the harvest is of no mean importance to a river town of 8,000 inhabitants; the annnal shipments some times reaching the astounding figures of 85,000 bushels from the large marsh of Beckett Brothers and that of Carey Brothers, whose united annual expendi tures are not far from §IOO,OOO. When the pioking begins, in October, the whole country round turns out en matter, for berry time is a succession of gala days—men, women and ohildren pouring toward the marshes in what seems an endlees stream of humanity, all eager to earn the exoellent wages that are always paid. The noisy throng is largely made up of Scandinavians and Germans, by whom portions of the country are thickly settled, the men in quaint garments of sober home spun, high lioots and awkward blue oaps, and smoking the übiquitous huge-bowled porcelain pipe from the fatherland, the women with gay oolored shawls tied over the head and falling on the shonl ders, short stiff dresses and wooden shoes. Children of all ages accompany them, looking curious enough, dressed in precisely the same somber attire as their parents, which gives them the appearance of veritable Lilliputians. Most of the pilgrims toward the cran berry Mecca go on foot, but some ride in heavy farm wagons, canvas oovered, and drawn by sleepy oxen, with whose snail pace the phlegmatic farmer seems quite content. It is this willingness to mate haste slowly but surely in the race | for wealth that has made substantial farmers of these industrious foreigners. Here and there among the prospective pickers are a bevy of Americau girls, who leave homes of comfort and plenty to " rough it" on the marshes for a week or two. Bands of Winnebago In dians occasionally file past, gayly attired in bright oolored government blankets; the lasy warriors or bucks mounted on ponies, the sqaiws trudging along the sandy roads carry the "impedimenta," with the papooses strapped into a frame-work and borne upon the back with the other burdens. These Indians are the children and grandchildren of the chiefs who fonght under the famous Blackbawk, in what is now the Btate of Wisconsin, nearlv half a century ago. It is only a mile or two from Berlin to ! the cranberry marsh of Backett Brothers, the presiding genius of whose fortunes is the Hon. Hobs Saokett. 'I he berries 1 grow on a marsh which is so wet and yielding as to preclude the driving of teams across except on a corduroy road half a mile long leading to the buildings in the center. Springing across one of the ditches on either side one can pick the acrid berries from the delicate boshes which grow not mare than a foot in height The principal building ia the warehouse where the berries are stored and afterward barreled for market It j ia a substantial frame structure, recently built i" Id® by feet and four atorit s bigb. From the npper windows can be had a comprehensive view of the marsh and its busy force of pickers. The eye rests upon 750 acres of marsh, not more than a quarter of which is under cultiva tion, over whose area in the busy time are scattered no less than three thousand pickers. A movable wooden railroad track runs from the warehouse to the center of operations, and a car is loaded with the boxes of berries, each person picking into span which is then emptied into a box of a bushel capacity. The 1 pickers reoeive a ticket for every bushel loaded on the car, and on reporting to the superintendent at the close of the day, receive credit for the whole. The price paid is seventy-five cents a bushel, and the average day's work is not more than two or three bnshels, although it ia not uncommon to piok Ave bushels, and a few experts have been known to pick seven bushels in a single day. The picking being often burned on account of threatened approach of frost, a second picking ia sometimes necessary, for which about a dollar a bushel w paid. The car on being loaded with the filled boxea is drawn by a team of horses to the warehouse, where the berries are hoisted on an elevator to the npper stories, and disposed of in snch manner as to secure the best ventilation. The floors are oovered with tier upon tier of boxes of berries, there being sometimes 1 20,000 bushel* nnder the roof at one r time. On the ground floor, Urge fsn- 1 ning mills ere in motion, into which the berries ere running from hoppers in the upper stories, end ell leaves end other impurities ere blown out, efter which I they ere pat in barrels end healed to Berlin, end from there shipped to the 1 Milwaukee end Chicago markets. A j coopering establishment on the property manufactures the many thousand Itarreb which are annually required. The question naturally arises. How do these several thousand pickers sub sist during the seeson, for no boarding establishment of sufficient capacity would be possible f The answer is that the proprietor has erected barracks or frame buildings for which there U no rental, the picker* boarding themselves, each bouse being furnished with s kitchen stove, and the rooms fitted np with bonks. The greatest hilsrity pre vaila daring picking time, the nights being given np to innooent revelry and mirth on the pert of the young men sad maidens, while in the neighboring woods the Wionebsgoes dsooe round their camp fires sad make night hideous with the drunken orgies with which cran berry time is invariably associated. Beckett'* marsh U fitted by nstnre for Hs present use, end its advantages of location could not have been improved upon by the experienced cranberry on I turisi, It is necessary to Hood the entire surface during the winter, sod this is rendered easy by the feet that the marsh is a basin lying in s wooded tableland, with en outlet at the lower end, across which has been constructed a dam 235 yards long sod four and half feet high, with double floodgates for regulating the height of the overdow. As soon as the crop is gathered the gates are dropped sod the marsh gradu ally becomes submerged by the autumn rams, the melting snows sad the drain age from the higher ground until it be come* • lake. This often freeeea to a considerable thickness, fnrniahing a skating rink that puts to blnsh the con tracted affairs of that name found in cities. In this manner the soil receives its only cultivation, and the tender plants are protected from the rigors of s Wisconsin winter. It is not onoommon for the marsh to be flooded eight or nine months in the year, the water not being drawn off until June. Captain He j ton's Fight with Thieves. " Captain, is it true that yon were as sailed by robbers in the streets of Paris last summer I" inquired a reporter for a New York paper of Captain Hoy ton, who has made innumerable long and danger ous voyages in European waters, clad in his rubber suit. "Yes," he answered, "and I must confess that it was s lively affair, and it oame near reaulting disastrously to me and others who accompanied me. There were eight of us together, and we had been outside the walls and were en deavoring to reach a poiut where we could get conveyance to our quarters in the central part of the oity. Unluckily for us, we entered by the Belleville quar ter, the home, as you know, of the vilest and most desperate characters of the French capital. As wo walked alone the ill-paved, narrow atroets I spoke to one of my friends by my aide, who, by the way, carried that valine (pointing to a small green bag) with 4,000 franca in it, and told him what a bad aection we were in. I bad scarcely oeased speaking WIICD a tierce-looking fellow canght me by the arm and demanded in Freuch that I should treat, saying that no per sons of my cut were allowed to pass without doing this. I told him to move off, bat instead he turned suddenly and dealt me a stunning blow on the left side of my head, knocking me down. As I fell I noticed that my eight compan ions were surrounded and that they were fighting. I quickly aprang to my feet, seised an iron ohair that atood in front of a low cafe, and as another of my aasailaDts rnahed for me let him have it fnll on the head. He went to graaa in stanter. Another one came for me on a fearfnl rush. These fellows get under good headway when fighting,and as they assail their victim striae with their flats or with a heavy piece of wood. Stopping quickly to ope aide to avoid a collision, I raised the chair, and aa he swept by me hit him a ' stunner ' on the back n' his head, knocking bim face downward on the gravel, which he acooped up for two or three feet, horribly disfiguring his countenance. I was then hit again, and partially turned around and aaw that there was at least a hundred in the at tacking party, and that they were mak ing things extremely lively for my oom paniotia. Tearing myself away from my assailants I pla ed my back against the cafe, and reaohing for my piatol-pocket yelled to the crowd to clear a pathway or I would shoot. Fearing that I had s revolver and that I would open fire, the cowards ran from us almost as quickly as they bad gathered. The money was saved, and none of us were badly hurt. No gennd'srmes were in sight at the time. I presume they are like the con ventional policemen, and when wanted are hard to find."

The esse of Abe Rothschild, convicted ' in Texas of murder in the Bret degree, ' is interesting. The story, as told in the evidence, begins with the arrival of! Bessie Moore in Cincinnati two years sgo. She was about twenty years old and had considerable money, bnt her ' most noteworthy property eras s large ' number of diamonds, for which she had 1 s remarkable liking. She came to be known aa Diamond Beat. Abe Rotha • hild was a noted Western gambler. He (ell in love with Diamond Bees, or her diamonds, or both, and proposed to marry her. She several times pawned some of her diamonds to get money for him, bnt always managed to redeem them. The pair were married shout a year ago, in Chicago, They went to Texas on a honeymoon trip, she carry ing the diamonds oarefully in her pock et They arrived at the Brooks house, Marshall, on Jan. 17, and stayed two days. Quarreling in their room was overheard, and Bess appeared to be de fending her diamonds against seisms by her husband. They next went to Jefferson, where Abe registered at the hotel nnder an assumed name. They quarreled in load and angry tonea nearly all night. On tha following day they hired a horse and wagon, fllUxl s basket with luncheon, sod started off as though for a pleasure trip Ibto the country. Beaa acted as though afraid of her companion. Bhe bad the dta moods still in her pocket, Abe return ed to the hotel at night alone, saying that the woman had gone to visit friends. He peeked his baggage, burn ed some papers, and returned to Cincin nati, where be spent most of his time for two weeks in gambling, according to his habit. His demeanor was erratic, however, MM] he told bis friends that *,>m * ■ ¥> 4■> '■■■ The Bay with the Baadbax. Yesterday forenoon aa the people who bad brought in produce to sell on the market were about ready to atari for home, a boy appeared at the lower end of the Central market with a bine band box nnder hia arm. Among the ve hicle# waa a one-horae wagon belonging to an old woman who had juat sold four baga of oniona, and waa ready to drive home. The boy approached her in an boneat, straightforward manner and re marked : " Well, auntie, here ia that bonnet, at laat." " A bonnet?" abe inquired. " Why, yea ; the one you ordered at tne atore a week ago. You'll look ao pnrty in it that the old man won't know you. It'a all paid for all right, and now I'll aet it down right here by your feet. Tra-la, auntie 1" That old woman knew the boy wan making a mintake in leaving a bonnet with her, but after the lirat words of ■nrpriae she made no aigu. Mhc rea soned that it waan't her buaineaa to cor rect miatakea, and aa HOOD aa the boy hail retired, she picked up the linea and drove up Itaudolph atreet, every moment expecting to hear the mistaken boy calling after her, and every moment harrying the old nag aa faat aa he could go. After reaching the corner of Gra tiot avenue and Brush atreet, abe felt that the boy could not overtake her, and it waa only natural that ahe should have a lively curiosity to aee what aort of a bonnet it waa. If plain black, it would auit her to a dot. If gorgeous, it would do for her daughter. The horse waa reined up to the curb, and the driver carefully untied the string fastening the box and lifted the cover. A "yajier" cat of monstrons siee, feeling that he bad been abused and insulted, and hia eyes glaring with hate and contempt, came out of the box like a bullet. People who happened to be in that neighborhood were treated to a curious spectacle. With one wild, nnearthlv veil an old woman waa seen to pitch backward over the neat and then aail for the ground by the ahorteat route. While she waa clawing aronnd with her head in a anow bank, tbe cat, aeeing her out of the way, made a spring from tbe aeat to the horse's back aud began a aeriea of performance* never known or dreamed of by that old eqnine, and the way that horae gathered hia leg* under him and acattercd the old for half a block waa wicked to aee. The woman, dug out of the anow by a conaiderato hyatander, atcod on the walk and en deavored to explain. A roan in the crowd picked up a wagon wheel and en deavored to remark that the whole out fit vraan't worth acraping together, and • ome one in tbe crowd aolemnly ohaerv ed: " If honesty ain't the lieat policy, then 1 don't saLt a cent"— ltr.trit Ft*' Frrjut. Olden lime Fire-Fighter*. A little over half a century since, on tbe 11th of November, 1828, Neptune Engine Co. No. 2, of Brooklyn, was organised. It was composed of her moat influential citixena. Each mem ber and every householder waa required to procure a leather bucket, about the sixc ot an ordinary nail keg, made of heavy sole leather, and thoroughly soaked with hot pitch, to render the material im|*rvious to the action of water. All buckets bad on them, in painted letters, their owner's name. They were required to be ao placed that they would be within easy acoeea in case of fire. An ordinance of the common council of the then village imposed a fine equal to half tbe coat of the bucket upon tbe owner for using or permitting its one for any other purpose than at a fire, or during training days. These latter occurred once a month, when about Doon of the first Wednesday, at tbe sharp and rapid tolling of the city ball bell, every male citicen was requir ed to hasten to the engine-house of the company to whioh be was assigned, an swer to his name when the roll-call occurred, and then take the position to which he was called and assist in train ing. Tbe engines were all handworked, and the more able-bodied men were sent to the brakes. On such occasions, and at fires, two lines were formed, the oocn panta facing each other, from the engine to the nearest well of water. Along one line to the engine were passed tbe bnck etsfnl of water, and along the other line to the well were sent the empty pails. At large fins, distant from the water supply, women and children filled up the empty-pail line. About 1880 Nep tune waa removed from Hands street, near Fulton, to the Apprentices' library building, then need as the city ball also. While ID these quarters, in 1835, the oom pan T attended the great fire in New York. They were at the fire three days and aa many nights. By superhuman efforts they aaved the Tontine coffee house, in Ooffse-bouse slip, now the corner of Wall and Water streets. The proprietor of the building gave the com pany S6OO for their labor* in saving his property. Four hundred dollar* of this generous gift the company placed to tbe aredit of their widows* end orphans' fund. Tbe other cms hundred they took for s grand blowout. Tbe Hcrap-Beok. Every one who take* a newspaper which he in the least degree appreciates will often regret to see aay one number whioh contains some interesting and im portant articles thrown aside for waste paper. A good way to preserve them is by the use of a scrap-book. One who has never beau accustomed thus to pro serve short article* can hardly realise the pleasure it affords to sit down and turn over the pleasant, familiar pages. Here a piece of poetry merit the eye, whioh you would long ninoe have tort, bad it not been for your scrap-book ; there is a* witty anecdote—it (foes you good to laugh over it yet although it may be for tbe twentieth time; next is a valuable recipe you had almost forgot ten, and whioh you found just in time to save much perplexity; there is a sweet little story, the memory of whioh has oheered and encouraged you wbee almost ready to despair under the pres sure of life's ears*. Indeed, you oan hardly take up a single paper without reperaaing.

When the off-runner of the aled collided with tbe lamp-poat and atopped tbe vehicle, Hanacript roae like a arena leaper and went right on turning twenty aomernaulte to the aeonnd. He went through the grocery window aa the arena leaper goea through a paper hoop. All the gingerbread horaea and candy apple* and other luxurtea were disarranged, of oorrae.

Hhe bad no bfmnet on, and bar hair was flying in the wind. The officer heard her say, ' let ma do it. I will I" Then he followed her, bnt she was fleeter of foot than he for the short distance that she ran. He shouted to her to stop, and cast bis eyes np sod down the street to os 11 to some one to head her off, for ahe was making rapidly for Pier *7. Hbe reached the head of the pier with the officer about ten feet behind her. Than she stopped, turned to him and said : "I am going to heaven. Good-bye all." The officer had his hands about her as she jumped into the water. He aimply took off bis gloves and pat them in the pocket of his great coat, and stood upon the pier waiting for her to come up. He had on his great coat, bis belt and ciab, snd heavy boots. " 1 thought," be said afterward, " as I was waiting to aee where she would come up, that I had learned to swim when a boy at home, at Biverhead." The instant that the woman's head ap peared above the water, Officer Vail jumped ID, not having removed his hat even. The water waa so cold that be was chilled in sn instant, but be wae able to seise the woman by the arms and hold her up. Then he trod water, and although ayery time he lifted bis feet it seemed as if he was pulling up a load that must the next instant pull him down, be was able to support the wo man, then unconscious, and progress far enough to get to s row boat. Then with one band and arm on the icy side of the boat,and the other supporting the woman, he shouted for help. An officer of the eastern steamboat squad and a stranger threw him s rope, and with the greatest effort he was able to get the rope around her body. Then she was succored, and taken still unconscious to the Oak street station. Then Officer Vail got into the bat, climbed np the pier, and ran to the station with his clou.es freezing stiff. He simply asked Capt. Petty to let bim get hi* frost-bitten fingers into a basin of cold water. Then he went down stairs into the drying-room, hung up his wet clothe* and made himself oo mforta ble.

He waa educated at the University of Pennsylvania, and having devoted himself to the study of the law was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1827. He became interested in politics at an early age. and soon after becoming lawyer was elected an alder man. This position he oocupied for many roars, during whiob time be made a good reputation aa a lawyer. In 1848 be was elected sheriff of Philadelphia and served as such until 1846. In 1866 be waa elected mayor of Philadelphia, and held that office three years. Be tween the periods of these pnblic trusts Mr. McMichae! became the editor of the North American, whose remotest ancestor was the ftwiuy/iusia Packet and General Advertiser, which wee first issued by John Dunlnp in 1771. It was a folio, ita printed page measuring nine by fifteen inches and having three columns. The Packet was first issued ae a daily in September, 1784, when the name waa changed to the Ameriodn Daily Advertiser, under which title it continued until December, 1880, when t waa consolidated with the North American, a journal which was then in the ninth month of ita existence. On July 1, 1847, the North American waa consolidated with the United Stain Gatrtft, an old-established newspaper, owned and edited by J. R.
