the story.
Mr. Loren Smangle was a busy man
In our Tillage. He was a carpenter by
trade, and a speculator by instinct. He
built several houses, and upon the pre
mise that he owned much real estate he
gained considerable credit He was
constant in his attendance at church,
and outwardly he was a very moral
man. He was a heavily framed man.
with a stoop in his shoulders, and his
voloe was attuned to a pious twang? In
timet t came to pass that Smangle failed
became bankrupt and when his
creditors looked for his property they
found that he had put it all out of his
hands; all his real estate had been
deeded to a relative who lived in an ad.
joining town and his creditors got
nothing. In short, when Smangle came
to make a disclosure of his effects in
court, he was able to show that he was
possessed of just what was exemt from
leisure by law, and nothing more.
People whom he owed wero wroth, for
they knew that the big piece of land
over the mill-brook was his.- and t.hpv
knew he still he still owned the block of
buildings in the village, though ho only
collected rents as agent of the relative
aforesaid. There was no bankrupt act
of which he could take advantage, and
J augments neia against min would re
main good for a score of years.
A O 1. ...
.among entangles creditors was
" Uncle rt John Watcher, a quaint old
genius, who had been " Captain " in his
day, and who was now settled down to
the cleaning and tinkering of clocks
and the heavier and grosser kinsi of
watches. Uncle John attended the
same church with Smanglo, and, like a
Christian man, made no outcry against
his conniving brother, though deep down
in his heart he felt a bitterness which he
could not hide.
Immediately after his failure Smangle
commenced the erection of a residence
upon the land over the mill-brook, and
there he laid out a farm, doing all, of
course, in tne name of the distant rela
tive and when tho house was finished
he moved into it with hif family. The
months passed on. and those who held
judgments against him looked in vain
for visible property upon which to lay
an attachment. Smangle was not to be
caught in that way.
At length Smangle wanted the town
to accept and keep in repair a road
which he had opeaed across the mill-
brook, and in the warrant calling the
next town meeting he eot an article in
serted " To see if the Town will lay out
and maintain a road commencing etc.,
etc, running etc., etc., to land of
said Smangle.
The day of Town Meeting came, and
Smangle was on hand to cress his claim
for the road, and he had engaged sev
eral of the smart talkers to advocate
the measure. Finally that article in
the warrant was reached, and Squire
Cummings made an able plea in behalf
of the project. It seemed only fair and
jusi mat me road should be laid out,
and so it would have been had not an
unexpected extinguisher been put upon
the measure. Uncle John Watcher arose
and mounted the steps leading to the
chairman's desk.
" Mr. Moderator," said he, in his mel
low, measured-tones, " I am certainly in
favor of granting all proper crivileees.
and I am also in favor of adopting all
necessary plans ior improvement. Jiut,
sir, before the town votes to lav ont this
road would it not be well to know where
the work is to end ? We do not wish to
start a thoroughfare which may find no
termination on earth. This article of
the warrant specifies that the proposed
road shall run to ' land of laid Untangle.'
Now, sir, , for one, hare a great desire t
knot just where any parcel of land be
longing to taid Smangle may be heated!"
The meeting very quickly saw the
point, csmangie, pale and red by turns,
tried to explain that there had been a
mistake made in drawing up the article
in the warrant, but the merriment of
the multitude overwhelmed him, and he
sunered the article to be passed over,
The road was finished in course of time.

Severe Sentence on Bank Defaulters.
The severe sentences passed on Hoard
and Pearson, late cashier and teller of
the Rhode Island National Bank, should
have a wholesome influence on bank
officials who may be inclined to use the
funds with which they are intrusted in
Erivate speculation. Both of these men
ad always borne a high reputation in
the community, and were believed to
have accumulated moderate competen
cies through years of thrift and economy.
They were neither gamblers nor fast
livers, and the Directors of the bank
placed the most implicit confidence in
their integrity. The speculation com
menced as far back as 1864, when some
thirty thousand dollars was abstracted
from the funds of the bank, and lost in
speculation. The bank was then a State
institution. When the bank became a
national one, Hoard and Pearson retain
ed their positions, and becoming inter
ested in a manufacturing enterprise in
Pawtucket, R. I., they drew the capital
for the undertaking from the bank. The
enterprise proved unfortunate, and
thousands upon thousands of dollars
were systematically embezzled and swal
lowed up, until the deficit reached the
enormeus sum of $220,000. False figures
and false swearing on the part of the
cashier prevented the Board of Directors
and the public from suspecting the real
state of affairs, and it was not until last
January that an accidental ciroumstance
brought this long series of robberies to
light. The guilty officials made what
restitution they could to the amount
of about 90,000 leaving their families
destitute. Pearson, the teller, was
sentenced to nine years in the State
Prison for embezzlement, and Hoard, the
cashier, who had added to embezzlement
the crime of perjury, was sentenced to
nine years at hard labor.

A Romantlo Sulci Jo in Naples.
A melanoholy occurrence, whioh has
no parallel in the records of romantic
crime, recently took place in Naples. In
liie Rivier a di Chittjn resides Sig. Bora
phino Itissi, who is the official agont in
xn apies oi tue itoyai ljottery bureaus,
and the ownor of a magnificent silk
bazaar and a private banking house on
the Toledo. He has a son. Giovanni.
and two daughters. Mrs. Rissi died
several years ago. The son had long
lived in an English boarding house, iu
the Strada Santa CatrinadiChiaja, kept
by one Byrne.
in old Bombai flourishing days, a
groom was sent to England to pur
chase valuable horses. Whilu iu Lon
don his Majesty's groom died. By the
oia Jung s permission, the horses were
given to Byrne, who was an exoert
jockey. Byrne wont to Naples and was
engaged in his Majesty's stables. Step
by step he advanced to the position ot
master oi norses. When the old Jung
was dying he did not forget the horse
man. During the brief and unhappy
reign of Francis the Second, Byrne re
tained his old position, and when the
new King was driven from Naples, his
Queen promised the horseman that he
or his family should nevor want as long
as her purse could assist them. Byrno
had saved money, and whon ouiot
reigned in Naples, he fitted up a com
modious and respectable boarding house,
whioh has ever since been the favorite
resort of tourists in . moderate circum
stances. Young Giovanni Rissi had been for
several years a visitor at Byrne's house,
ostensibly to procure a knowledge of
English, but really to court one of
Byrne's daughters. Mr. Byrne had two
daughters, Eliza and Martha, who were
accomplished and of great boauty.
Eliza, the elder, added to her remarka
ble personal charms an amiability of
character sumcient to win the most fas
tidious. Sho formed a union with young
Rissi, and both lived with the firm do
termination of becoming one day man
and wife. The marriage day was final
ly settled upon, but Rissi's father ob
jected. Mr. Byrne was indignant at
the elder Rissi's objection, and refused
to permit his daughter to hold further
communication with the banker's son.
From the 7th to the 9th inst.. which
included the day assigned for their wed
ding (Aug. 8) nothing was heard of Miss
ay rne or Uiovanni liissi. . Rumors ot an
elopement were inevitable, the general
behet being that they had fled to
emys Bay, near Greenock, Scotland,
where Miss Byrne had many friends.
About 7 o'clock on tho eveninrr of the
proposed nuptial day, when the sun had
just set over the errand bav of Naples.
and wnne thousands were going to the
princely grounds of tho Villa Reale to
hear the music or revel in the luxuries
. ... v " -
of the daintily-fashioned saloons, the at
tention of a policeman was attracted to
something which was occasionally rolled
by the tide up the convex walling of the
public garden on the bay. Tresses, the
lokis ot a silken dress, and also the gar
ments of a man made the gend'arme
hasten to the authorities of the dead-
house and announce what he had seen,
The morgue-boat, with its dusky cover
ing, was sent to the spot and the objects
were hoisted on board. A youne man
and woman bound together with cords
around the ankles and necks were re-
veakd to the men in the boat. The girl
had been beautifuL The pearly teeth,
chiselled features, and splendid auburn
tresses put the corpse mongers out of
their routine of cold carelessness for
once. The portly form of the well
known and universally admired Giovan
ni Rissi was then discovered.
The music in the garden was hushed,
and the news of the discovery sped
through every circle within the Villa
Reale nobles, untitled aristocracy, and
plebians. The point of the public gar
den, opposite gloomy Vosuvius, where
the corpses were found, was thronged
with spectators, and the boat was fol
lowed on its way up the bay to the
dead-house. A phial of prussic acid
was found on Rissi, and it was proven
that he and the girl died from the ef
fects of poison. The bodies were taken
to the late dwelling of Miss Byrne, and
afterward the remains of Giovanni Rissi
were sent to his father's house. Obserra-

Cooks and Cookery.
Half of our countrywomen, who are
in chronio misery about their cooks,
never stop to consider that a principal
cause ot their dimculties is their own
ignorance of cooking. There exists not
in creation a more perfectly useless be
ing than the New York fashionable
young lady, and the full force of this
fact probably only dawns upon her when
she is married. What a contrast does
she present to those notable house-wives
who were common enough in this country
a hundred years ago 1 We have not tho
least desire to see ladies, whoso means
enable them to keep several servants oc
cupying themselves chiefly with domestic
details ; but, on the other hand, we would
have every girl thoroughly initiated in
their mysteries, .hven in old countries,
where efficient servants are procured
with comparative ease, households are
rarely well managed where the lady of
the bouse is ignorant of housewife!)
duties ; while hero most of us know by
painful experience what her ignorance
entails. To know how a dinner should
be cooked, it is not necessary to cook
one. There are thousands of men who
never handled saucepan or spit, who can
tell exactly why a dish is not quite right,
If, instead of thrusting a cookery-book
into a servant-girl's hand's and expect
ing: her with its assistance to send up
dinner, ladies were to set down and ex
plain exactly how the thing should be
done, and praise and blame with discre
tion the efforts of their handmaidens,
many a man would have a far better
table, and persons of moderate means
would be able to entertain a couple of
friends with a decently good dinner
cooked at home, instead of going
great expense by having the necessary
articles from a restaurant. There would
be far loss trouble about servants among
us if their mistresses showed a kindly
personal interest in their welfare. This
especially applies to Irish servants, who
are peculiarly amenable to personal in
fluence. There are many persons here
who have not been used to servants in
their youth, and don't know Low
treat them. They are alternately distant
and familiar, and are dreadful indignant
when the servants become familiar too.
Those who are dignified, considerate,
consistent, and firm, will get on with
servants here as elsewhere. Constant
changing generally argues pretty nearly
as much fault in mistress as in maid.

Secrets of Succour.
The possession of superior renins does
ot by any means ensure a man's suo-
coss in business. M men who are en
dowed with suoh peculiar gifts make bad
managors of any business, and are too
orratio for ordinary executive purposes.
v nat, tnon, is the grand secret cf suo
coss? Not high, intellectual attain
ments. Few scholarly men will lay aside
their devotion to letters for their own
sake, and follow the plodding course by
which success in business is to be at
tained. And it lies not in the force of
Circumstances. Some who misht other
wise have been successful in a clear
course have doubtless broken down in
the face of popular obstacles ; but the
man who can bend occasions and condi
tions to his will can achieve his triumph
in spite of such adverse surroundings.
It is not luck. There is loss of happy
chance in suoh success than is common
ly supposed.
It is true that many tempt their fate,
and escape as by a miracle, but this can
form no rale in life ; success in business
is obedience to a law that can be clearly
and distinctly traced throughout the
wkolo ot ono s career. Tho law is based
on the principle that everything has its
price, and they only who are able and
willing to pay it can acquire what thev
covet. Some are prevented throuorh
want of nerve, or failing health, or de
fective judgment, or other mental and
physical defects, from succeeding in the
struggle. But more, who are able, fail
because they are unwilling: to meet the
cost. Thy soek the end. but will not

to resist. To-morrow thoy will begin a

The " White Lady" of Germany.
The delusion, or trick probably the
latter which has produced the supposed
apparition of the White Lady in the
Hofburg, at Vienna, rests on a supersti
tion which seems to recur with singular
pertinacity among the votaries of the
supernatural in uermany. There is
scarcely a German family of mediieval
celebrity which has not its White Lady,
generally appearing, like ber couBin, the
xnsh .banshee, to announce Bonie lm
pending calamity. The original is said
to nave Deen a certain iiertha von Rosen
berg, by marriage, von Lichtenstein.
who was killed by domestic ill-usage
about the middle of the fifteenth century,
ana waikea ever atterward.- Hut the
Rosenbergs intermarried with the more
famous house of Hohenzollern, and the
hite Liady has somehow transferred
her residence to the Palace at Berlin.
Here her appearances have been numer
ous and manifold, but she generally
prefers a " white mourning " costume,
and carries a chatelaine and bunch of
keys in old German fashion. White
mourning was worn throughout the
middle ages by the widows of deceased
sovereigns and princes. Since those times
the White Lady has shown herself so
repeatedly at Berlin as almost to have
vulgarized her character as a phantom.
And it is a rare proof of the simplicity of
the old-fashioned German character (says
1-1 ... .N .
an ringusn paper; in at, although the
superstition was turned to account, as
might be expected in the neighborhood
of a Court, by all sorts of mystifiers and
inventors of practical jokes, it seems to
have lived on just the same. On one oc
casion a number of ladies were indulg
ing in irreveront jokes respecting the
white spectre, when she suddenly ap
peared in the midst of them ; they took
to flight, but she caught the last of them
and inflicted on her a very unspiritual
castigation. Another time she presented
a colonel, who was hard up for money
to pay the Elector's troops, with a sum
of a hundred thousand crowns, concealed
behind a wall. I he Elector accepted
the story and the loan, and the colonel's
tortune was made.
Immense Wheat Farms.
The San Francisco (CaU Bulletin says
there are three wheat farms in the San
Joaquin Valley with areas respectively
of 36,000 acres, 23,000 and 17,000 acres.
On the largest of these farms the wheat
crop this year is reputed to be equal to
an average of 40 bushels to the acre,
the yield running up on some parts of
the tarm to bu bushels. The product
of this farm for the present year is
i,iu,uuu bushels. The boundary on
one side ot this farm is about 17
miles leng. At the season of plowing,
ten four-horse teams were attached to
ten gang-plows, each gang having four
plows or forty horses with as many
plows wero started at tho same time,
the teams following in close succession.
Lunch or dinner was served at a mid
way station, and supper at the terminus
of the held, 17 miles distant from the
starting point. - The teams returned on
the following day. The wheat in this
iinm'-nie field was cut with twenty of
the L.rgest reapers, and we believe has
now all been threshed and put in sacks.
It would require over forty ships of
medium size to transport the wheat
raised on this farm to a foreign market.
Even the sacks required would make a
large hole in the surulus money of most
farmers. -We have not the figures touch
ing the product of the other two farms ;
but presume that the average is not
much below that of the first. There are
thousands of tons of wheat which can
not be taken out of the valley this sea
son, and must remain over as dead capi
tal, or, what is nearly as undesirable,
will only command advances at heavy
rates ot interest.
A Queer Fancy. One of James
Gordon Bennett's queer fancies was an
immense bird-cage tilled with rare birds
from every part of the globe. So he
had made it as large as a house, and be
fore it he would stand for hours and
study the habits of the different mem
bers of the feathery tribe. Sometimes
he would liken his different birds and
fowls to well known men in real life.
Once he stood with a neighbor and kept
him laughing for a long time as he
would point them out, with an apt re
mark. Pointing to the robin, he said
that was Thomas A. Hendricks ; the
woodpecker, that is Ben Butler ; the old
goose is Sumner ; the parrot is Gerrit
Davis : the old gobler is Conklin ; the
urow is Fred Douglas ; the hawk is
Wendell Phillips; and the canary is
Sunset Cox, &o. This large house cage
is still to bo lean at Washington

AQR1CVLTVRAL.
Bcallawao Stock. It is not at all
nnoommon to hear a tarmer declare
that thero is no profit in koeping fine
cattle ; that it would not pay him to
purchase a good short-horn bull at say
f 500 wherowith to improvo his herd.
Let us soo how this thing figures up.
He raises ton steers of what the drover
denominates seal la wag sort, and sells
thm at three or four years old, or pos
sibly he feeds them six years, when they
will realize four cents per pound on uu
pounds weight, which is equal to $32
per head, or f 320. It is safe to say that
the cost of these cattle will not be less
than the price received, so that there
will bo no profit to the feeder, if there
is no loss. Another farmer raises ten
grade short-horn steers, which at three
years old are (fold at eight cents a pound,
and weigh 1,000 pounds each Their
money value is f 1,280. Thoy may have
cost $640 to feed, which is double the
cost of the scallawags, and then there is
a profit of $640. This will represent a
small part only of the gain made by the
use ot a thoroughbred bull ; tor at least
he may be expected to sire 25 calves per
annum during six or seven years, and
his services will thus be found worth at
any rate not less than $3,000 to $4,000
on this basis. Here is nothing counted
to his credit but the Bimple profit on
beef alone, and that is based on the tan
gible and stable foundation of a market
report. There is naught extenuated and
naught set down in hopes which may or
may not be realized. Some farmers
have said that this result is hopeleBS for
them, that they cannot expect to gain
one cent per pound extra from a drover
for a better quality of stock. It is true
that there are such farmers, and that
they say this, but it is strange if this is
not a prejudice born of a want of en
ergy and business tact. How can beef
differ in this respect from wool or pork,
butter or cheese, or corn or wheat, all of
which bring prices exactly in a ratio
with their several qualities. Drovers
who come across such men will ' fool
them to the top of their bent," undoubt
edly, and will persuade them that good
stock has no more value than poor, if
possible ; but it is hard to believe that
in this age of newspapers such a farmer
could be found. " It is naught, it is
naught, saith the buyer, but when he
hath gone his way, then he boasteth ;"
and drovers are often such buyers, but
it is a farmer's own fault if such a buyer
ever have a chance to boast over a bar
gain of this sort made with him.
Tareatexed Potato Famine. The
English papers are full of uncomfortable
fears of " a possible obliteration of the
potato crop." One says that "every
where disease is showing itself and
spreading rapidly. There is one excep
tion to this in districts impregnated
with arsenic (query, sulphurous vapors)
from smelting operations, and where the
disease is said to be not prevalent." A
member of the Central Chamber of
Agriculture writes that he recently
carefully examined a number of fields
in the potato-growing district around
Long Sutton, in Lincolnshire, and found
that already three-fourths ot the tubers
(by weight) are diseased, whilo the mis
chief is still in active progress. The
testimony of many growers in the
neighborhood is that scarcely any sound
potatoes can be discovered throughout
whole helds, and the general anxiety is
to know not what may be the probable
amount ot " ware tor the market, but
whether enough produce will be forth
coming as seed for next year. He has
not the slightest doubt that the same
condition of the crop prevails over the
entire tract of potato country between
Boston and Wisbeach, and that tho
yield, if anything at all, can be little
more than a return of the seed planted.
The consternation among the farmers,
who pay. high rents, and apply to their
land very large quantities of artificial
manure, may be imagined, seeing that
the loss can scarcely be under 15 or
perhaps 20 per acre. Disease appears
to have smitteu tho crop in all parts of
the kingdom.

Colored Litrht as a Semodr for Dls
ease.
Gen. Pleasonton, of Philadelphia, who
a year or two aero published a pamphlet
giving the result of some experiments
showing the influence of blue light on
vegetable and animal matter, is still
confident that his discovery is of great
practical importance. lie has recently
triven to the publio an account of a re
markable recovery of an invalid from
chronio disease, simply by the influence
oi colored rays of light, rue wue oi
Philadelphia physioian, who had i
some time been saffenner from a com
plication of disorders which baffled the
skill of her medical advisers, was in
dsiced to try tho following plan in the
hope of obtaining relief: Every alter;
nate pane of glass in one of the win
dows of the patient's room was removod,
a id blue glass was substituted. The
patient then cxposod her back to tho ao
tion of the combined blue and white
lights thus obtained for thirty minutes
eaoh day, at the same hour. " At the
beginning of the treatmont she was un
able to sleep or cat, was in a miserable
condition, and was wasting rapidly.
At the end of ten days the pains in her
back were less, her hair had begun grow
ing thickly, and there was a marked im
provement in her condition. In thret
weeks she was almost entirely well.'
Gen, Pleasonton is a gentleman of repu
tation and influence, and would not be
likely to make assertions which could
not be fully sustained. Some of the re
sults he testifies to having attained in
accelerating the growth of vegetables
and animals are really remarkable, so
much so, in fact, as to appear improba
ble. But we have no right to doubt
his word, even when he says that bald
ness can be cured by the influence of
blue.

The Two Extremes. Two classes
' medical thinkers attempt to euro
disease by opposite modes of treatment,
Due class torces the system into preter
natural activity; the otkor depresses
and weakens it. iSota are wronp;. To
inflame tho blood of an invalid with
medicated alcohol is as dangerous as to
apply undue steam pressure to a weak
boiler ; and to prostrate the physical
energy, which is the natural opponent
of disease, by depleting treatment, is an
act of almost equal temerity. There is
a medium between these two extremes,
and Dr. Joseph Walker, to whom the
world owes the famous California
Vinegar Bitters, has been fortunate
enough to strike it. He has produced
from simple vegetable elements without
tho admixture ot any distilled or fer
mented fluid, a specifiio comprising the
important preperties of a wholesome
tonio, a gentle evacuant, a purifier of
the secretions, a pulmonic, a sedative,
and a powerful an ti-bilious agent.
IS ever before were those six sanative
qualities comprehended in one medi
cine, and never before did one medicine
oure so many different diseases. Dys
pepsia, liver-complaint, diseases of the
kidneys, rheumatism, intermittent fever.
disorders of the bowels, geut, nervous
anections, and maladies proceeding; from
impurity of the blood, are only a few of
the bodily ills lor which Vinegar Bit
TEns is considered an unfailing remedy.
