The real applied tion of the phase is to the person who has the task of propelling the boat up the stream, but in political usage it is to those who are rowed up.

On one of the excursion steamers run. ning from Boston a young man made himself objectionably familiar to a lady whom he supposed to be alone. For a little whiie the lady tolerated his atten tions and he was deluded into the idea that he had made a conquest. But his inward sense of victory was of short duration. She was only waiting for her husband to come. On his arrival she signaled to him to inform him of what was going on. He calmly surveyed the situation for a few moments, then made up his mind what to do. Being a some what muscular shop-dealer, wenrinor a No. 11 boot, he quietly slipped in behind the unsuspecting youth and adminis tered to liim a powerful kick. Tnis f eut the youth bodily upward to the roof of me caoin in wmeu the ceremony took place, and brought his forehead in con tact with a piece of timber. The young man had never before dreamed of hav ing such a high forehead. When he descended it was amid the mirth of Lis fellow-excursionists and with aconsmc. uous wound which he will probably wear for life. This fellow has no re course against the large footed man who had damaged him. He was play ing me tool ana deserved the punish ment he got. Kicking is not exactly sanctioned by law, but under the cir cumstances in wnicu the Bos'onian husband found himself nobody would sav that it was illeeal. The mark on the young gallant's brow will be a jasged, irregular, hieroglyphical looking tort ol a thir?, which, being inteipreted, wiU reau : - served tnis lenow rigut."

How Long a Baseball Pitcher Lasts. Successful pitchers have very short lives in their positions, the most difll cult at first to hit becoming easy game to the heavy hitters in about four years. Especially is this the case when he is put in to pitch every game for a few sea sons. Batters become familiar to his balls and his different motions in deliv ering them. Spalding retired in his glory after a short period of six years. Matthews lasted seven years, but faced no heavy hitters lately lor any length of time. Bond is now in his fifth success ful season, but gets it hard occasionally this year, as does White, only in his third year. Nichols went out very sud denly, but did fine work for a few sea sons after 187S. Cummings was great in the days of the lively ball. This chapter in pitchers' history teaches that the best pitcher will fail in about three years if played without relief. Two good pitchers will last a long time if changed every game. Cincinnati En quirer. "Would you mind standing here till I go in and get a cigar P" he asked. " Of course not," she replied; "but don't you think, Henry, that smoking is of fensive, and that it will be easier prac ticing economy after marriage if it is practiced during courtship P" " You're right," be said; "I shan't smoke any more, sweet," and she looked unutter able love at him as they resumed their stroll. Just thm they came to an ice cream saloon, and he said : ' There, now, I meant to treat you to ice cream, but, as you say, it is best to practice economy during courtship. Ten cents lor a cigar, thirty cents for two creams forty cents saved in a single night. Let's go over to the fountain and take a drink of water." They went ; but she was mad enough to bite her own head off.

A Peeullnr Dace. Near Wellesley, Macs., liver, a gentle man named Baker, whose eccentricity is known to nearly everybody. He has expended mucti money upon his pi ivate grounds, putting upon them nearly every thing which will amuse because of its oddity. A correspondent of the riuiadelphia Prc.it recently visited the pince, anu describes some ot the things he saw, bb follows I From the windows of tho stable, as Vou approach, are seen protruding uorses uenos, nut on a close examina tion they prove to be only very clever wooden imitations of horses. But most curious, and nt the same time most characteristic, are the den of fancies and frivolities, and tho grove. In the form er, which is not a den, but a rocky strip oi iana along tue lane, tne trees are trained into fantastic forms, and are ciotned or painted so as to represent men ano animals in ridiculous positions In every rock you see some startling face or form. Upon the brow of a hill stands, as a warning to those who fill mgu tneir bumpers, a huge represent ation of a human figure; the body is a hogshead, to which are attached head, ante and lees, and which is painted tn represent a man fairly bursting under 1.1 1 . 1 1 i r .1 i ma Hucuiuuiuieu wiiguioi uesn. some times inscriptions are placed upon the figures. For instance, in one place is a whisky bottle ten feet huh. made of beer bottles strung upon wires; this is moeiea : mub mat oi mo spirits." vVe werewalkinir alone hv thn orepn houses, ndmiring the flowers and beau tiful lawns, when the cwner himself suddenly appeared. Mrrching up to one of the young ladies the party, he seizeu htr by the arm, and, exclaiming in gruff tones, " What are you walkintr in the path for? why don't you walk there, where you belong? ' he thrust her over on the carefully trimmed grass. A few years ago, some South Carolina compar ies came on to Boston to attend a celebration there. Mr. Baker ent r tained them and the Boston companies one day, and one of the exercises which, from his position as host, he insisted upon, was that the officers from the North and the South should shake hands across a small cannon that stcod on the terrace. The proof of reconciliation was performed with all proper ceremony, to his entire satisfaction. In the giove his fancy has been given full play. This is a place ot practical jokes. The pashs are full of springs and traps to startle the unsuspecting visitor. As you cross a dark chasm on a narrow bridge, suddenly there springs upon you from behind the rocks a savage looking negro, with a club brandished above his head, and it is only after vou have got done screaming (if you are a woman) that you perceive that the man is stand ing too still for a would-be assailant, and then, upon investigation, you dis cover that it is a wooden figure called into view by your foot having pressed unawares a secret Bpring in the flooring. "The demoniacal cereus blooms every ten minutes on sunnv days," is a notice which stares at you from the side of a box containing an ordinary-looking cac tus plant. Naturally, you sit dawn on the seat before it to await the phenom enon, but with your weight the seat sinks, and you find yourself prostrated before a red devil, which has suddenly risen from the earth with the cactus upon his head. Again, as you are leav ing a tent stored with curiosities which have been taking your attention, the around suddenly sinks beneath yon. and you find yourself pitching about upon a spring-supported platform which had been defily hidden from view. Mr. Baker's ambition seeui3 to have been to make people laugh, and lie has suc ceeded. It has beea his custom to in vite schools and societies from Boston to spend the day with him, and it is said that on such occasions he is lavish in his entertainments. A Terrific Volcanic Eruption. The Central American volcano Fuego, near the city oi Antigua, Guatemala, has after many years of silence and apparent rest, in which tUere wfls little to deter mine its character as a volcano except occasional emissions of smoke and otfd rumbling noises from within, burst out in an angry and terrilic eruption. As seen from the deck of the Pacific Mail steamer Wilmington by the oflicar on watch, at a distarce, as the crow flies, of nearly fifty miles, the spectacle was magnificent. From the highest peak of the t uego great columns ot name darted up into the air to a height, as nearly as could be determined, of from 400 to 500 feet. Tho surrounding country to the east and south was illuminated by the tremendous glare ot the flames, while to the northward and westward the clouds of dust and smoke which accompanied the confl igration obscured the whole country. An eye-witness says : "The first grand column of tire rose at least 50 feet in height, solid and smooth, and then the top, expanding, opened out like an um brella, the sparks coruscating like those from a brilliant rocket. The pulsations of llamo during the first t o hours of the eruption were about fifty seconds apart, strons and regular." Less than half an hour after the erup tion began, two strong streams of lava were seen making their way slowly down the mountain.one south ward, to ward the city of Autigua, and the other westward, toward the sea. As the molten masses moved along, consuming everything combustible in their track, destroying the forests and licking up the small streams which they encountered, great volr.mes of smoke and steam rof e from their desolating track. Until the morn ing dawned fully, the lava streams could beseenm vingtoward the valleys below, while above, the red flames and their attendant smoke and dust shot up ward into the air A river, the Guacu late, whicli lias its origin on the west ern felope of the mountain, had a sudden and remarkable accession of water of a considerably increased temperature, probably from the breaking out of hot springs from the mountain sido, ora pos sible flow of water from some of the openings in the cruteiitself . What the Kavies of Hie World Cost. The naval expenditure of the chief maritime States is as follows: Eng land, 10,588,903; France. 7,252,839; United States, 1,700,000; Russia. 3,559.368; Germany, 2.280,839; Italy, 1,772,075; Austria. 615,264. The English expenditure is about one-third higher than that of France, and more than double that of any other power. But the object supposed to be insured by it differs considerably in the several countries. If a chief object of keeping up a naval force be the protecton ol maritime commerce we sLould find that to protect every 100 tons tf merchant shipping sailing under the national flag costs annually : In France, 778 ; Russia, 601; Austria, 256: Germany, 214; liaiy, 187; United States, 175; Eng land, 115. To protect every 1,000 worth of sea-borne imports and exports takes : In Russia, about 35 Ids. ; Aus tria, 28 lOi, ; France, 26 16s ; Italy, 25 Hi.: Germany. 22 16.: United Slates. 21 6j. : England, 17 5i. In none of the above cases has the trade of colonial dependencies other than with the mother country been taken into ac count, or the figures for England would fall relatively lower.

Cow Milk Producer. The advice is frequently given to inke good care of the cows, and such advice is excellent. No class of animals re quire more care, and if it were possible for every farmer to attend to his own cows, no doubt they would receive bet ter care than they do now. And yet it is ho Uncommon thing to Pnd a man who keeps but one cow neglecting to mils her till after eight o'clock at night. In fact in such cases the hours for milking are any time from five in the morning till nine at night, Cows do not have good care unless they are milked regu larly and at least twice a day. They would give more milk if milked three limes, but if milking is con lined to twice a day it should bo po' formed af regular hours. When the cow's bag becomes full it is painful to her and she becomf s uneasv, on which account there is a loss of milk, and inflammation Jis induced by the pressure of the milk against the veins and arteries. Circu lation is also impeded, and the healthy functions of the bag nre seriously inter fered with. The manner in which the cows are milked is of great importance The advice to milk clean is universal, and all say that they follow this rule, but every cow will not give down her milk to any milker, and while there, are few who admit that they are indifferent milkers, there are really very few good ones. One great reason why there are so few trood milkers is, that there nre very few who like to milk, nnd it is a matter of doubt whether persons can excel in any occupation for which they have no taste. Their endeavors to excel will, to say the least, be very feeble. No doubt one great reason why we have so many indifferent cows is be cause we have such a number of in different milkers. We fenr that the number of eood milkers will not be in creased till we can obtain more men who have a natural love for animals. No man will make an animal his patient study who has no love for it; but many owners ot cattle have no particular lik ing lor them except so far as they have money invested in them. Their hobby is not cattle, it i morey. The hired man does not engage himself to take care of tho cattle because he has any particular liking for them, but simply for the monnv he obtains for his services, and in this case master and man wouid be upon a par, and the care eiven to the animals be dependent upon these conditions. The proper feeding of domestic animals is quite important, and to feed cattle judiciously requires care and thoughtfulness. A cow should never be over fed. She should never be allowed to fall off in her roilK, either in quantity or quality. Her feeding should be as regular as her milking. In summer strict watch should be kept of the pastures; if they begin to fail then other feed should bo supplemented, cither fodder corn or some of the green cereals. An extra good cow ought on no account to be force i to give milk beyond her rormal quantity. If this is done it will bo at the expense of he constitution as well as that of her pro g eny. It is a matter of doubt whether there is immediate profit in the produc tion of the extra quart or tW5 f milk. It takes a certain amount of feed to sus tain life, and the next consideration as to feed is profit. Beyond a rational amount of food, even if the animal can digest it, there can be no profit. Again, no two cows will eat the same amount of food, while perhaps one cow prefers a little different feed from an other; anil to these noints the feeder should pay a good deal of attention. See that they all have enough, none of them too much; then if one cow prefers a finer, and another will eat a coarser grown hay, see that they aro fed accord ing to their preferences, and do not have the soavse hay fed to one which prefers tine ar.d the fine to one which would eat the coarse. If the cows have to drink from any place other than broolt or river, do not turn out more than two lit a time. Many of our hired men expect a cow to drink like a horse, which they certainly do not. Lead a horse to the trough, and lie will drink immediately or not at all; but a cow will usually stand and look, wet ber lips and sip a mouthful half a dozen ti.i'es before she begins to drink in eood earnest. Some cows, however, will drink immediately. But in case of either cows or horses, proper care cannot be taken of them till their peculiarities are well understood ; and whoever undertakes to make the most of his stock must make evpry in dividual one a special study. If-cows are watered out of a pail, it may be fi.und that one animal will drink only from a certain pail, and if a ciiunge is made it will be instantly detected. Few cows will eat hay that another cow has breathed upon. . It is well to humor the animal in such cases, while studying to supply the proper quantity and quality of food. Some cows are much more nervous than others. Excitement not only reduces tue quantity but alsa the qual ity of the milk. Again, some cows are quite sensitive. When being driven to or from the pasture tho mistress of the herd will usually lead white the otners qui tly follow ; but if one usurps the place of the leader it is not unusual tor such displacing to affect both the quantity and quality of Iter milk. Wounded ambition so pre V3 upon her iliat in many cases her usefulness will be found to be seriously impaired. The mistress of a herd has been turned out dry into a pasture separate lrom the herd with two young neiiers, ana over these she tyrannized ti.l they combined against her and mastered her. Ever after that either would drive her, al though the rest of the herd recognized her as mistress. American Culliv tior. Fertilizer ou Potatoe. Professor Lazenby. of the Cornell ex neriment station. Ithaca, N. Y., gives the result of a number ot experiment he tried with fertilizers on potatoes, ths seed consisting of medium sized tuber- cut into halves, dropped a loot and a half apart in the row and covered five inches deep The fertilizers were strewed along tho furrows and well mixed with the soil betore planting. With no manure, the product was at the rate of 1J9 bushels per acre; end with Stockbiide fertilizer only 135 bush els. Drobablv a natural variation from no manure, ana snowing it oi no vo:ue on that soil. Hen manure gave 145 bushels, Peruvian guano 158. Lister's superphosphates 184, and ground bone 212. Farm-yard manure, spread along thH hnttom of the turrow and the seed ' ' . . !l r i dropped on it, gave only 163 bushels, but placed above the tubers the result was 207 bushels. This difference might have been owing to several causes as the creator depth of the seed under tho manures, more moisture and a wider spread of tho manure. The Value of Uoelnu. An English farmer does not agree with those who say that one eood weeding is worth two hoeings. Ho says, never weed any crop in which a hoe can be got between the plants, not so much for the sake of destroying the weeds and vermin, which must necessarily be the case if the hoeing be done well, as for increasing the porosity of the soil, to allow the water and air to penetrate freely through it. He adds: "I am well convinced, by long and close practice, that oftentimes there is more benefit de rived by crops from keeping them well hoed than there is from the manure applied. Weeds or no weeds, I still keep stirring the soil, well knowing from praotice tho. very beneficial effect, it has." ".' '. The Harvest Month. The month, August, derived from the Roman calendar, was originally cnl.ed Sixtilis, or the sixth month o the year, which with ths Romans beean in March. Julius Ctcsar mude it thirty days long, and his nepnew, Augustus, aadet another day to It. As it was the month in which Augustus had entered upon his first consulsh p; hnd celebrated three triumphs in that city, had received tho allegiance of the soldiers who occupied the Janiculum; had conquered Egypt, and ended the civil war, tne senate, de sirous to compliment him, changed tho name of the month to August, just as Quintilis had boen changed to July out ot honor to the great Julius, who had been kind enough to bo born on the twelfth of that month. The Flemings and Germans have adopted tho word August as another name for harvest. Thus "oogst mrond" is harvest month; the German "Augst wagen" is harvest wagen, and the Dutch "oogsten" means to gather corn from the field. The Spaniards em ploy the verb "agostar" and "hacersu augusta" to signify gathering harvest, and the French have thb phrase "faire l'Aout " for the same tiling. The Anglo Saxons named August the weed month, and the old Germans called it "wein koch," the wine press month. August is represented in mjth by a naked man, with disheveled, flying hair, holding to his mouth with both hands a drinking horn, and at his side are a bundle ot peacock's feathers, some melons, and a second drinking horn.

Couriers latelv arrived at Fort Keoeh. Montnnn. hrinn-inir the latest intiilll jtence from the Crow Indians, who wore then absent from the camp or agency upon a grand buffalo hunt. The news nrougut in ny me couriers was very ex citing. They related ttiat alter riding over the mountains for two days tho Crows came upon a fine herd of buffa loes in a nnrrow vauey near ny tne lei lowstone. There were 400 Indinns and 400 buffaloes. The Crows had been forced by fear of starvation to take to the chase, and the keen hunger they were suffering only sharpened their eagerness for a tilt, with their old fellow nomnds. the noble bison. The game stampeded down the valley in the di rection ot the lellowstone. ilie cnase was hotly followed, half a hundred buf faloes biting the dust before the river was reached. One of the most ve hement of the pursuers, who had dis tinguished himself for bravery in two or threo fights with the Sioux, fell from his pony in the midst of the flying herd, and was trampled to death by the frantic heast9. The Yellowstone nroar- iug.rushineriverevenatthe lowest tide, was booming witn tne regular summer freshet, the outpour of the melting snows in the hieh mountains. When the river was reached the game made a bold stand, and for a time it seemed doubtful which held the mastery: but the incessant fusillade from 400 rifles, together with the desperate proximity of the formidable battalion, drove the herd in dismay into the roaring torrent Beside themselves with the excitement of the moment the Indians urged their ponies into the stream, unwilling that, even a flood should snoil their frenzied sport or rut them off from their game. The terrific current, made tumultuous from the huge piles of rocks here and there in the channel, whirled buffaloes. ponies and Indians alone at a bewilder ing velocity, until the thousands of beasts were rolling and writhing in in. extricable confusion. In the dizzy evo lutions of horses and riders the latt:i were left to struggle bv themselves in the water, and to be jammed to death between the surging masses of drown ing beasts. Some who foresaw the danger in time and turned shoreward, lound safety on terra firma, but those who ventured far enough to bo en. braced by the sweeping, resistless tide and to become involved in a tangle of struggling animals, were all drowned.
