Waiting for a Cave. Within two or
three miles of Vicksburg, Miss., a mer
chant, who had business in the country.
came to a small creek, beside which a na
tive waa washing his shirt The man was
sousing his garment np and down and
around, and as ne 'soused be whistled a
merry tune.
'Do you bare to wash your own shirts f ,
inquired the merchant, as he halted.
'Not alios,, but old Bet has got one o'
her flu on jest now,' was the ready reply.
'Then you dont agree very well ?'
Tarty well as a gineral thing. Bet's
kind o' mulish, and I'm kind o' mulish,
and when we git our backs up we claw off
to see who'll cave first'
'I should think you would want some
soap.'
I do.'
Why don't tou get it then ?'
That would be caving to Bet, stranger.
She's squatted on the only bit of bar soap
'tween here and Vicksburg, and she's just
aching to bare me slide up and ask her for
it'
And you won't ?'
Stranger,' replied the native, as he
straightened up, 'don't I look like a fuller
who'd wear one shirt three months afore
I'd cave in and boiler soap V
The merchant sided with hi in, and as he
drove on, the man soused the shirt up and
down and whistled :
I'm gwine up the river'
'Here me holler.'
Bcb, what's the matter?' asked the
court as a buy of eight was brought out.
I fit J-Jim,' sobbed the boy.
When
Last n-i-t-c.'
And wbere's Jim f '
'He got away.'
And why didn't you get away ?'
'II-had a sore h-beeL'
'Was much of a fight ?'
y.yes, sir I licked bim.'
'What caused the fight?'
'He kicked my litle brother.'
My son,' said the coutt after a glance
through the window, 'there was once a
boy. He was a good boy. He didn't book
apples or put pins under anybody. His
face was clean, bis hair was slick. Ah 1
be was a jewel of a boy. He wouldn't
chat lie. swear, or fight He went to bed
early, got up early, minded his mother,
and what do you think became of him ?'
'Got run over by a buss I' sobbed the
boy.
Xo, my son ; he got to be Governor of
Michigan. Will you promise and try to
be a Governor ?'
Yes.'
'And the next time you'll run ralhr.r
than fight !'
V-yes, sir, if I can't get hold of a club.'
He was told to go. Detroit Free Press.
IUid is His Own Coin. There was
once a farmer on Long Island, who was
about as mean as mean could be. He was
rich for mean people almost get rich; and
be scrupled at nothing that would add a
dollar to bis pile. Xol far from him lived
a shiftless sort of a negro, who loved to
steal better than be did to work ; and the
farmer said to him once :
Clem. I will give you fifty cents a bush
el for all the potatoes you will bring me
and I don't care where you get them.'
Clem jumped at the chance, but asked
him where be could get them.
I don't care where. Of course you will
steal 'em. But that's none of my business.'
The bargain was struck; and every night
for a week Clem would drive to the farm
er's house with a load of potatoes, carry
Ihcm ioto the cellar, and receive bis pay
for them. At length the farmer ask him
where be got them.
'Stole ,em, boss I' repled the darkey with
a grin. - '
0h, up in your side-lot ?' replied the
negro, while a grin took entire possession
of his face.
He got away in time to save bis sable
back; but that farmer basen't bargained
with him since to steal anything.
A Yankee Traveler out west has
written to bis mother, telling her his ex
perience as follows :- -'Western people are
death on etiquette. You can't tell a man
here that he lies without fighting. A few
days ago a man was telling one of his neigh
bors, in my hearing, a pretty large story.
Says I, 'Stranger, that's a whopper 1' Says
be, 'Lay there, stranger.' and in the twink
ling of an eye I found myself in the ditch,
a perfect quadrued. Upon another oc
casion says I to a man I never saw before,
as a woman passed, 'That isn't a specimen
of your western women, is it ?' Says he,
You're atraid of fever and ague, ain't
you ?' 'Very much, says I. 'Well,' re
plied he, that lady is my wife : and if you
don't apologize in two minutes, by the
honor of a gentleman I swear that these
two pistols' which he held cocked in his
hands shall cure you of that disorder en
tirely. So I knelt down and politely apoil
gized. I admire the western country
much ; but durn me if I can stand so much
etiquette it always takes me unawares.'
DR. Gtjtorie, in a recent address told a
very suegestive story, to this effect :
A friend of his, questioning a little boy,
said :
When your father and mother forsake
you, Johnny 1 do you know who will take
you up ?'
Yes, sir 1' said be. - - -
.And who ?' said the friend.
The police I' was Johnny' reply.
The domestic individual who can fit
five joinU of four-inch stove pipe over three
alx-inch joints in a half day, singing and
whittling 'There's Light in the Window
for the Tbee' and 'I'm a Pilgrim, Bound
for Glory, answer the door bell, entertain
a book agent, pare apples for the young
ones and cany in wood, besides other in
terruption from bis wife, without getting
on his ear, is pre pt red to die.
.No,' he said, contemptuously, 'It's easy
enough for a man to make money nowadays.
Times are different from what they was.
Then there was solid work about it Now
all you have to do is to take your surplus
and buy things when they're low and sel
when they're high, and there it is in a nut
shell. A child could do it By the way,
be added, 'could you lend me half-a-dollar
for a few days?'
There waa a French singer, with a tre
mendous voice, who ould not discover
what line in art he was best fitted for. He
went to Cberubioi, who told him to sing.
He aang and the foundation trembled.
Wei!, be said, when he had finished, 'il'.os
trious master, what shall I become ?' 'An
auctioneer,' said Cberubioi.
At a Territorial II anoixo, the victim
who had been liberally supplied with whis

the Sheriff, was asked at the last moment
if be would have anything. 'Just a drop,'
he replied. He got it It was about six

A.K.STKTra,Eq:
Dear tiir. : When about sis mouth old I was vaccin
ated. The parties who where vaccinated from the aame
virus died from the humor. The humor spread over
me to such an extent that I was rolled ra bran to pre
vent me from scratching my person. The disease Anal
ly settled in my head. I remained in this condition
about twenty years, troubled all the time with sores
breaking in my head and discharging corruption from
my ear. At this time a small kernel appeared on my
nook, gradually increasing in six until a tumor formed
of anch immense aise I eould see it by turning my ryes
dowdwsrd. AU this time 1 waa takiug varioua remedies
for my blood without any sunaianuial benent.
I then went to a crorainnnt physician in Boston who.
during bia treatment of aix mouths, kneed the tumor
eight tunes, which coat me nearly $400. This Wt me
with a rough, aggravated sore, without at all diminish
ing the sise of the tumor, snd in a sickly, feebly condi
tion. Ieonsulwd another physician in Katick, who,
after considerable time, auocerded in healing the sore
without reducing the sixe. At this point I commenced
to use Veoktivb, through the earnest persuasion of a
friend. Alter I bad taken this medicine about one
week I experienced wonderful sensations. My whole
body seemed to be uudergoihg a radical change, until,
finally, the tumor broke aud discharged frightful quani
tiea. From this time it decreased in size until the
bunch disappeared, but my neck still bears the ugly
scars ef the sore, snd lance. I am now healthy and
strong and able to work every day.
1 will also mention that I have been an acute sufferer
from iuflaminatoty rheumatism ever since I can re
member, until commencing the use of Vxkkiihk,
when almost immediately all rheumatic pains ceased.
This statement I volunteer for the purpose of benent-
iug other suffering humanity, and you will confer a
favor by giving it at ratten publicity as tnougnt proper.
Very grateiully,

THE LIGHT RUNNING "DOMESTIC."
The "Domestic."
The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple
machine In all its parts and processes. It is
easily understood ; familiarity with its action is
very quickly acquired, snd it needs hardly any
practice of special skill iu the operator.
The superior advantages obtained in the "Do
mestic" are mainly :
1. Light Running.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels.
8. Perfect Stitch Doable-thread Lock Stitch.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction. 5. Absence of all Friction.
6. Great rsnce of Work.
7. Ease -of Operation.
We do not say that the "Domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing; real and acknow
ledged merit ; but we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has many
excellences that rcuder it decidedly tnptrior to
any other Machiut now before the public.
Let fVrrV WOtnan. f V-fnt-, namlM fnr v.
if into Its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase, not to be care
lessly made ; one that will influence her com
fort, probably for a long. time. With a "Domes
tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing
become a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drudgery ; she wtll have
tbe time and strength to add beauty and elegance
lo work in which before she has been obliged to
content herself with bare ntility.

Covering Stkawberuies. Often
there is much said, and especially at this
season of the year, about covering straw
berries ; and many persons are induced by
what they read to act so as to heartily re
gret it when the epriug comes round. We
have knowu people to act on this sugges
tion, and cover their strawberry beds with
manure, aud find the whole completely rot
ten in spring. . And yet a little covering
with tbe right kind of material is not a bad
thing. If the plants .are entirely unpro
tected the leaves are browued and often de
stroyed ; while it must have been noted by
every observant gardener that the best
fruit comes from plants that have manag
ed to keep their lerves bright and green till
their spring-bowers appear. And this is
why a covering of snow the whole winter
is so good for the strawberry-crop. As we
have remarked, when the leaves are brown
ed the crop is small ; tut when the snow
covers the plants all the winter long, they
come out in tha spring in the best possible
state for fruitfulness.
But we cannot always depend on the
snow. It does not come, alwava contiuua
in a regular way. So tf some light mate
rial can be put over tbe plants, that will
not smother and rot them, and yet will be
just enough to maki a shade? from the win
ter sun aud a screen from frosty winds, it
will be doing a good turn to the strawberry
plant. Mauure is bad. There is a salt in
it, especially when fresh, which is de
structive to foliage ; but clean straw, oi
swamp or marsh hay that is from weeds,
answers the purpose very well. But ii
must not be put on very thick. The ides
is, just enough to make a thin screen, ant
yet not enough to hold moisture long
Shade without damp is the idea. Sucl
light protection is good for the strawberri
plant. Germantouin Telegraph.
Polled or Hornless Cattle. 1
correspondent of the Country Gentlema
thus alludes to an increased profit whic
may be gained by ''breeding the horns o
our domestic cattle."
"That tbe horns are to be bred off frot
all the cattle at some time, thorns who o?
serve and think, know toaceitainty. The
see that the cattle of a certain value will
out horns can be raised and kept cheapt
than horned cattle. If the difference is bi
fifty cents per head, that settles tn
question in favor of polled cattle. Compui
the expenses of repairing the injury dot
by means of the horns of cattle, the adt
lional shed and stable room required I
horned cattle, and the expense of growin
warming, and carrying around the hor
(the horns are mere dead weight), and t
expense of horns upon full-grown call
will be found to be, not a fraction of a d
lar, but dollars for each head." As
how these horns may be got rid of and bt
fast the change may, be made, '.be sai
writer says : "Working ofl the horns frc
horned cattle is much less difficult th
might be supposed. Tbe progeny of a p
led bull and horned cows are likely to
more than three-fourths hornless, in a
tbe bull has no near horned ancestry a
possesses good vitality. The progeny
polled bulls aud horned cows have gen
ally been more than half hornless, wb
tbe bull has had but a single line of ho
less ancestry."
Although the above quoted writer g
at the matter in too much dead earnest
make a joke of it, yet there is more of lr
than of poetry in bis suggestion. Horn!
cattle would prove quieter in tbe yard, I
unruly on fences and less dangerous
their care takers. Who will make the t
move in the direction indicated ?
Potting Plants. The mold for
ting plants should be light auad loamy,
fertilizing material used being well dec
ed. If the soil is rich ot itself, it is be
to be either very snaring with the fer
zer or to dispose of it altogether. In '
bottom of the pot, place several small I
ken pieces of crockery or similar male
to assist the drainage ; and in setting
plant, be careful to keep it well dowi
the pot and pressed ; the mold should
about half an inch below the level of
top of the flower pot. Slips should
planted close to the sides of the pot, an
small pots.
When a plant becomes pot bound, i
is when the roots have become ma
around tbe sides aud bottom of tbe
tbe plant, as soon as it has ceased bit
ing, should be repotted in a larger pou
is uol necessary to remove any of the n
from the roots but simply to fill in
space in the larger pot witb new and
mold.
Plants kept in the windows shouk
turned eveiy moruing, or tbe light stri
on one side only, will draw tbe poiu
thai side so that all its branches aud le
will turu toward the- window. Tbe w
in the saucers should never be appliei
the plants. In culling slips of any pit
always choose the youngest branches ;
cut off the slip at tbe junction of a plai
leaf, siuce the roots shoot more ret
from such joints. If you follow ihest
rections and put sufficient sulphate of
monia to just taint the water applie
your plants, you .may cultivate with
cess almost any plant.
We see inquires made as to tbe prot
ily of the "Horse Bean" growing in
State. We can answer that as a ga
crop they can be raised as easily as
and are considered by many people
good tor the table. They should be
ed from one inch to two inches apai
tbe row. But we do not believe that
can be grown with profits as a hid
for feeding to horses. ,
