Bl tiL TOPIC.
Written forthe Hckai.b by a farmer, gardener
and fruit-grower af great experience.
MARKETING FRUITS.
Id most cases fruit growers can
obtain better prices for their fruit
near home, if they lire near a large
town, than bj sending them to large
ciliea by railroad, or by water, as the
case may be. An Ohio frait grower,
ia apeaking of marketing grape9,
pears, and peachep, says:
"Now as th result of a good deal
of experience and observation and
some dearly bought lessons my a d
vice to persons having such crops of
fruit, is, first of all, to sell them as
near heme as possible. In tbo ma
jority of the towns and villages of
the interior of onr State there is a
better market for berries, peaches
and grapes, every season, on an av
erage, than is to be found in the cit
ies, taking all of the expenses and
risks into the account, unless the
grower is located near eaongh to a
city to be able to market bis fruit
with a team, thus avoiding tbo ex
press charges and commission. This
accords with the experience of all the
extensive growers of summer fruits
ia Ohio at this time. Within a ra
dius of ten or fifteen miles of Cincin
nati immense quantities of berries
end other fruits are grown for that
market, and banled to the city on
spring wagons, then sold by the load,
to retailers or to wholesale dealers
who ship largely to customers in oth
r places. The same is mainly true
in regard to Cleveland and other cit
ies." ROTATION Or CROPS.
A farmer writes to the "Country
, Gentleman,", describing, the usual
system Oi rotation of crops in bis vi
cinity on a 100 acre farm, as follows:
"One-half the land being required for
pasture, one-quarter, or 25 acres, of a
farm of one hundred acres need to be
kept in fair condition as meadow to
'furnisli hay for the atock, ''and the
" trass dies cut in four or five years
after seeding, the meadow land has
: to be reaewed thns frequently. This
is done reaerallv bv a cvstem of
three crop rotation, as fcl'.owr One-
ulin, say uto acree, vi laiuog uicau
ow is gives one-half of the year's
prod act of tn snore, and plowed in tbe
spring tor corn: the next spring it is
sown iaoata, and after tbe oats crop
is oft" the other half-year's manure
is -applied ia the (all, and tbe land
plowed and sows with wheat, follow
ed with grass seed. Sotnere are
bout v acres each of corn, oats
and wheat each year, on a farm of
100 acres, and manure is applied to
five acres in the spring of corn, and
the same amonnt in tbe fall of wheat.
After three grain crops with as many
' plowinga, sad twice manuring, tbe
land is again returned to meadow, tbe
25 acres being Urns removed every 5
years, and receiving perpetually all
tbe manure of the farm, leaving tbe
50 acres of pastsre land wholv neg
- lected, aad continually robbed of its
' phosphates and other elements o( fer
tility, carried off in the milk cans,
and shipped to Europe in four or
five million pounds of chese annually."
The objectiouaole feature of this sys
tem in the writer's-opinion, sppeare
to be the "fceglectihg to fertilize "pas
ture land, which must br remsvated
occasionally in order1 to produce s
good crop of graBs; add the question
t8, how can it be done to J the best
advantage TVtcn an ' old pasture
Geld fails in its grass, and becomes
infested with- nsxioos weeds, it must
be plowed and reseeded, or it will be
of little or no raise at all to ttl owner.
Soppoee such a field receive as large
a dressing of stable manure as can
be afforded, which would not be
moch in most cases, and is plowed as
fast as tbe : manure is applied the
Crst week in September, then har
row it, aud apply 20U to UOft IbsL of
superphosphate, or finely, ground
bone meal, to tbe acre; then sow tbe
grass seed, and harrow in the seed
and fertilizer at tbe same time; and
tbe result would be ' that a fair crop
of hay could be cut , from this land
the next season, and it might be
safely pastured in the following Au
irust or September, and it would be a
I very productive pasture for six or
eight years. , - -
Ml ATE TREES.'-"" -
The setting of shade trees along
both sides of tbe roads in tbe farm
ing districts is often advocated by
the rural press, as a means of increas
ing tbe valae of larms, in conse
quence of tbe pleasantness of such
street when the trees become large.
There is no mistake in this opinion;
and farmers would do well to club
together and set maples, elms, kt.,
along their farms, and then see that
no cattle are allowed to run in the
highways. Suppose that a farm ex
tends on the road 500 rods, fifty trees
would suffice for that distance; pod
the trees can be procured in mny
places for 50 cents each, about three
inches in diameter, and ten or 12
feet high. None smaller should be
6et, as trees of tbe size of walking
canes, as are often planted, grow
very slow, and seldom flourish in the
highways. Set none but those that
are of "good size and straight, and
trust no man to set them by the job,
unless you want half to die and the
remainder to drag along a sickly
life. The trees should be set iu the
spring, the roots well preserved in
diggiog them op, tbe tops cut back,
holes dug large, and good rich soil
filled in around the roots, if it has to
be brought from another locality, as
it doesn't pay to blight such work.
ERROU IX POt'LTRV KEEPING.
In confirmation of what I said in a
previous aritcle, in regard to keeping
none but one year old fowls for lay
ers, I annex the following; "Although
there are many widely different
breeds of fowls, edapted more or less
to the varied wants of tbe farmer,
there are some general rules for their
management which are applicable
everywhere; and many flagrant er
rors are made by most farmers. One
serious error is tbe common custom
of keeping hens until they become
too old for profit, because they were
choice birds and good layers when
young. A heu of any breed will
lay only about half as many eggs
the second year as tbe first after she
commences laying. All fowls kept
by a farmer after tbev are two years
old are kept at a loss, ss far as
money is concerned. When a whole
flock is allowed to run without kill
ing off tbe old ones and replacing
tbem by pullets, disease is sure to
attack them. Tbey become liable
to cholera &c, after they become
aged. If the practice of keeping on
ly pullets is once followed, I am sure
that no farmer will ever abandon
it."
SHEEP IX SMALL KCMBKKti.
There are many farmers who keep
no eheep, owing to their farms not
beinir Iartre. Ia 1870 the number of
sheep id the State of New York was
2,lSl,578;and it is estimated by a
good judge that the flocks do not
average over ten to fifteen sheep, or
ranging from five to twenty-five. The
lambs and fat shoop are sold to
butchers in the vicinity of the farms
where the sheep are kept. A farm
er in St. Lawrence connty nays; "I
do not claim that there is a very
large amount of profit to be made in
tbe course of a year from a dozen
sheep, but their is, on all farms, gra
zing in summer and rcngh feed in
winter that , can be . converted into
mutton and wool, and whior would
not make butter, beef or pork. It is
impossible for weeds to grow in a
field where sheep are kept, and for
this purpose they are invaluable.
Like poultry tbey are tbe scavengers
of the farm; their keeping costs but
little, and this is tbe reason why
tbey are profitable in tbe bands of
even a cwelesa farmer. To tbe far
mer sheep are stock that pay divi
dends semi-annually. In the spring
there is a return of wool that would
render the investment in sheep suffi
ciently profitable if tberp was no
other source of profit, and In tbe fall
there is an equally profitable return
in lambs, or ratber tbe lambs are
ready for market at that season.
rromtbe returns cf J 870 we find
that tbe average clip per lead was
4 8. lbs. A sheep will clip nearly
five pounds of washed wool, worth
say thirty cents per lb.(it has been
considerably higher during -tbe past
f.;w years); this amounts to $1.55.
She also produces' a lamb, which
should be worth our dollars when it
is fit for the - batcher. This makes
$5.50 as the amount realised from
one sheep for tbe year. We have to
feed tbe sheep and care fo her a year,
but we have tbe sheep herself left st
tbe eid of toe season, her manure
also, aad t ue fact that this .was ac-comi.iie-b.ed
on root a feed - and aa
outlay of very little capital.''
RECIPE. FOR BUTTER.
In a smi'l work, .describing the
method of making butter in Penn
sylvania, near Philadelphia, celebra
ted ia the market of that city, I find
the following: "Take Of saltpeter one
part, of loat-sugar one part, of fine
rock-salt two parts; beat the mass to
a fine powder, and use one ounce of
tbe composition to a pound of batter.
Th'S will give it a" peculiar, rich fla
vor, but it should not be used before
two weeks old. Butter is often in
jured by nsing too much Bait in pre
serving it; out tnis composition ren
ders it unnvcessary to Bait to excess.
For immediate oe, wilt alone is
preferable." This recipe is for bat
ter that may be kept perfectly sweet
lor monttis. 1 be best salt must be
used, for butter cannot be depended
on to keep long. Tbe following , Is s
good test before U6ing it: Dissolve a
little in a glass tumbler; if tbe brine
formed is clear and free from bitter
taste, the salt is good; if, on the con
trary, it is or s milky appearance,
leaves say sediment or throws scam
to tbe surface, it should be rejected.
There are times ' when the butter
comes, that it is soft and warm, end
difficult to take out Then tbe milk
should be removed, and the churn
hall filled with ice-cold water, and
churned until the batter hardens. If
tbe water becomes warm before ibis
takes place, then it must be renewed.
tribe batter comes ruber warm, pat
in twice tbe salt yoa usually do,
work jourjmtter just enjjo.g'i iMU
the saHwefl through l it, sa
away in a cool place for 24 hours,
then take it np and work it over;
much of the salt will be dissolved and
work out.
iBcltaai Military Hatwrta.
The sports of tbe native Indian
cavalry, commonly called Nrsi Easi,
are much encouraged by the author
ities, as to excel in tbem requires
steadr nerve and good riding. 1

the men, it ia easy to sec, lor besides
the hundred or so who ffcncrall v turu
out to comnetc. the creator part of
the regiment is present on foot as
spectators. Tbe proceedings gener
ally commence with tent-peggings
pure and .simple; i lA bort peg is
driven into tbe ground, while some
200 yards distant tbe competitors
are drawn up ia . line, each, ea F bis
Wttberee; for thsj native exJ
( the vassal of our own past times,
comes mounted and armed, to his
regiment. While off duty the native
soldier can dress as he pleases, so on
occasions like tbe present individual
taste breaks forth in showy waist
coat or gorgeous-colored Durban.
Each man-carries ia ! bamboo spear in
bis band. At a signal given by the
vori major or native Adjutant, the
first man. his spear held .. across bis
bodyi Start, at a cantor; bis? wiry lit
tle country-bred knows as 'wcll as be
does what is in band, and as the
speed quickens to a gallop, the pace
is regular and measured, enabling
his rider to sit as steady as a rock.
When about 50 yards from tbe ob
ject the soiftir turns bis spear-point
downward, bends well over tbe sad
dle till bis hand is below thr gt'th,
and then, when joa almost think he
has gone past, an imperceptible turn
of the wrist and swish tne spear
is brandished round bis head, with
the peg transfixed on its point.
Another ia quickly driven into tbe
ground, aud tbe next man comes up;
he, too, hits the p?g but perhapsi
fails to carry it away to the required
distance,- for it drops from bis spear
point as Le U in tbe act of whirling it
round his bead. This does not count,
and he retires discomfited. Tbe
third misses Entirely, the fourth
strikes, but does not remove the
peg from tbe ground; while after
them in quick succession come two
or t".ree who carry it off triumph
antly. "With varying tort one tbe
whole fquad goes by; and it is in
teresting to note tbe style of each
horseman as be passes, some sit
ting rigid till within a few. yards of
the mark; others bonding over and
taking aim while still at a distance;
some silent, others 6boutiog and
gesticulating; while one no sooner
has bis steed in motion than he gives
vent to a certain tremolo sound, kept
no lik tbe rattle of a steam engine,
till close upon the peg, which baviog
skilUully transfixed, he at the same
time throws bis voice up an octave or
two, in triumph, I suppose, as be
gallops round and joins his comrads.
Two or three men now bring up their
horses with neither a saddle nor
bridle, and consulate skill, guiding
them by leg-pres?ure alone, carry off
the peg triumphantly, and wel-de-served

spectators. The next part of the

And now we come to tbe most dim
cult feat of all. -A i piece of wood a
little larger than a tent-peg is driven
into tbe ground, and a notch having
been made in the top, a rupee is
therein placed so as to be half hidden

Young Charley Overblower mar
ried about a month ago, and when
be came back from bis wedding tonr
be and his pretty little wife took pos
session of a charming flat up town.
Early one evening, after they had
fairly settled, and tbe last of Emma's
sisters had been induced to conclude
ber visit, Charley proposed to Emma
that they should go to the theatre.
Tbe little woman assented, snd both
began to amend tbeir toilets. In a
few moments Charley said : "Dar
ling, I am eorrr to trouble you ; but
really 1 think I shall be obliged to
have to ask you to sew a button on
this ehirl."
"Of tour. why nolT said L'uitua,
delighted at a chance to show her
skill. She took tbe garment, seated
herself and faid: "I can't remember
for the life of me where I put those
buttons. Charlev. look in that, box
and see if yoa can find one.",
Charley looked in tbe box, which
was a case of perfume bottles, and
not findioir tbe desired article, be con
cluded he would not bother Emma
for further information, so be palled
a button from another shirt.
. "Now Charley," said Emma, "look
in tbe ton bureau drawer and get me
a naner of needles, and a spool of
white cotton be sure to get tbe
white cotton."
Charley found in the top bureau
drawer a copy of Tennyson be re
membered it well, and picked it up
and looked at the mariginal marks
and comments, dear affectionate little
girl that she was! and more per
fume bottles, and a pattern of a Flor
de Fumaroverskirt and tKe beginning
of a sofa cushion, and various other
things, but no needles or cotton.
Then be remembered tbat be bad a
fancy "housewife" that he had
bought from a girl at a fair, and he
got needles and cotton out of that.
"Thank yoa dear," said Emma,
and she began to stitch vigorously,
bumming a dreamy Italian air.
Presently she said : "Charley, won'i
you bring me the seizors? I think
they're in aiy writing desk. : I had
tbem tbere to day cutting a poem
out of a papsr " :
Tbescisors were not in the writing
desk, nor on the mantle, cor in tbe
top bureau drawer, nor in the case of
perfume bottles, nor even in tbe hair
receiver, so Charley drew on bis
"housewife" again. Emma took tbe
scisors. snipped the thread, and ex
claimed, "There darling! and now
make baste, or we shall be late."
Charley wriggled ioto tbe ear
cient, and then put up bis bands to
button the ban j at tbe back, but tbe
button was not there.
"Why, Era," hp cried, "where in
thunder did yoa sew oa that but
ton ?'. .
"Oh, Charley, ain't you ashamed!"
exclaimed his wife. "Where are
your eyes?" .
"If they were in the Lack of my
head," answered Charley, "perhaps
I could see that button."
Emma raised herself oa bxr tip
tres and looked at the band.
"Why, that's strange 1" said she,
"take it off and let me look at it "
Tbe shirt was inspected thorough
ly, and the button was found neatly
and deftly sewed on jnst beneath tbe
tag of the shirt-bosom ho as to button
to that appendage in a most elegant
manner.
"Well, by Jove," exclaimed Char
ley, "if I didn't know any more about
sewing oa a button than that, I
wouldu't get mar I'd learn bow."
"You were going to say you
wouldn't have got married," cried his
wife, putting on her bat hastily, and
bursting ioto tears.
"Where are you goin?" demand
ed Charley, savagely.
"I'm ffoing home and I'll get a sep
aration from you and your old shirts;
that is where I am going," blubber
ed Emma. "I thought you .wanted
tbe button thereto fasten to your
what-you-call-em's."
It took Charley an hour to per
suade Emma that if she went borne
there wouldn't be strawberries
and cream enough to go roqnd, and
that she oould get all she wanted at
Delraonioo's and be'd pay for It. N.

"The prevailing decrease ia the
number of insectivorous and other
small birds is an established fact.
Various causes may be assigned for
the diminution, but it seems to me tbe
grand one is tbe inevitable tendency
of civilization to annihilate all forms
of wild life. It is sometimes said
that boys deBtroy large numbers of
birds. It is my observation, how
ever, tbat boys wantonly destroy
very few birds." Tbe incipicn. hunt
er, bein anxious to ulle&t bis tlu
structivu skill., will somctime.i shoot
a bird, but the popular disapproval
tbat follows the act generally cures
him of his ambition to destroy any
thing not legitimate game. In some
of tbe Middle and Southern States
large numbers of robins and rice
birds (bobolinks) are annually de
stroyed by hunters. . In these places
such birds are game, being captured
and consumed with every considera
tion of profit tbat attends the killing
of pigeons aud partridges.' I am not
aware tbat tbe general habits of the
community are anywhere directly
opposed to tbe existence of common
song birds, and others not generally
regarded as proper objects for destruc
tion; tbe fact that certain varieties of
these birds in a measure recogn:ze
maa as their natural protector weighs
against tbe proposition. Tbe low
birds captured for f cientific purp bes
hardly effect tbe general number of
individuals. The indirect efforts if
civilization arestrougly prejudicial to
tbe existence and multiplication of
birds. Tbe destruction of forests de
prives birds of their natural haunt;
tbe relentless scythe, tbat searches
out every nook and corner of tbe
grasa lot, frightens them from our
fit-Id.-; tbe coustant uioditici'ion of
physical relations, effected by thor
ough tillage, destroys tbe meuuA of
sustenance of certain varieties. In
general term?, tbe rarlb, to stiort !
more men, ran sustain uly j
le birJ.-s. Strange as it may firai '
seem, certain mechanical invention!
are eminently deadly to birds. The!
tendency of bird to dab iuto a'
bright light is well known. O.ie j
morning tnis year J4 J dead birds
were found lodged upon alight-house
near Ne-IIaveD, Conn Wo can
not tell bow many hundreds, afur
sttuing tne iiitit, leil into tne water j
tbat eight. Oier 2)0 bird.4 wero at

board a propeller iu L"og IsUud
Souod, many, if not all of tbem w-re
killed by flying against the head
light aud 6Uioke-stacks. More than
these, the pilot cf the steamer Con
tinental, at ilell Gate, fouud oitu
uigbt this season the drck i.f tbe ves-
s.-l covered with dead stuull birds.
Tbey were swept offia heap, and in
the morning over 750 were counted ;
and. this was only a part of them.

It was remembered afterward that
be bad a sneaking, Jiw-down look,
and the boys were sorry that they
didn't arrest him as tbe Nathan mur
derer, lie railed at tbe Ninth ave
nue station and asked if they had an
aquarium tbere, and if they didn't
want a Lake St. Clair hog to put in
it, and be addd :
"Gentlemen, it is a frog I caught my
self, and he really ought to be on ex
hibition. I never saw a frog of his
size before."
"How large is it?" inquired a ser
geant, instinctively glancing toward
tbe top of the coal stove.
"Gentlemen, I bate to give you the
figures, because I'm a stranger," re
plied tbe man.
"Ther's some old whoppers up in
tbe lake," not io one of the relief
erjaad. "I've seen 'era as big as
stove cover, and even bigger,"
"Well, some one ought to lave
this hog who can feed him up well,"
said tbe stranger. "I ain't much on
natural science and I've seen about
all there is to see ; but this frog
great heavens ! Some man ought to
take him round tbe country."
"How did you catch biai?" asked
tbe captain.
"Run him down wilb a tug and
threw a fish not over him."
"And he's a monster, eh ?"
"A monster ! Well, I don't want to
give you dimensions. Three report
ers were at my bouse last night to
get Lis length over all, breadth of
beam, and carrying capacity, but I
wouldn't let tbem in. I don't care
for tbe glory of tie capture, but sim
ply desire the advancement of tbe
general interest of tbe State."
"I've heard sailors tell of seeing
frogs up there as large as nail kegs,
but.I tbouget they were lyiog." ob
served tbe sergeant.
Nailkegsl Why d'ye suppose I
come arouod here with a frog which
you coultj put into a nail-keg?"
"I suppose be d go into a barrel ('
tremblingly remarked the sergeant.
"Gentlemen, you may bave sailed
across Lake St. Clair," coldly re
plied tbe stranger, "but its plain to
me tbat yoa never shoved a boat
through tbe marshes. Would I fool
away time on a frog no larger than a
barrel? Would a tugboat chase
such a frog ?"
"I shouldn't be a bit surprised if
this frog was as large as a hogshead,"
said tbe Captain, "I've seen 'em up
tbere larger than tbat."
" hogshead! Gentleman, I see
tbat yoa don't care foi this frog ; yoa
are willing that 1: should ship it
away to some other town. Goodbye,
gentlemen."
."Hold on!" cried the Captain,
holding out bis last cigar. t'W e be
lieve you, of course. If you said this
frog was as long as a wagon-box, 1
should believe you, for I've seen 'em
up here fully as large as that. Please
giveusthedimentioosof this frog." -Tbe
man lit his cigar, took a pill
box from bis vest-pocket, snd shaking
out a frog, not over three days trans
formed from a pollywog, he quietly
observed :
- "Gentlemen, got out your tape
lines." When they rose up be bad vanish

Recollections
The New York IJerald of Thursday
savs: Visitors who called at tbe
irreat dog pound at tho foot of Six
tcenth street, East river, in a spirit of
comedy must bave come away witn
something at least of the impress of
tbe spirit of tragedy. Nearly 1,000
dosrs were awaitinu their doom
that of drowning at five o'clock this
morning. Tbe pound is a low corru
gated iron boilding, painted red, a-
bout 150 feet long and about 40 feet
wide. At tbe end furthest from tbe
door is tbe office of the Poundkeeper,
Mr. John McMabon. Tbe buildiog
was erected iasurh a harry tbat there
ba: not wen tunc to paint and var
nihh the strongly braced rail in front
of h'm desk. Between this ruoui and
the river is the great keep for the
dog. Here are 230 kennels or pens.
Each box was intended for tbe re
ception of a single dog, but so great
bss been tbe catch siuce Monday that
some of these contained six or seven
or een eight dogs. The air of the
room was stifling. Many of the dogs
had broken loose and were roaming
about tbe aisles between the kennels,
All are supjtoset! to be chained up
when first received. On Tuesday
niht two of tbo cbaiaed'dogs sprang
over the rail of tbeir enclosure, and
on account of tbe shortness of the
chains -were strangled to deatb. An
officer palled it committing suicide.
There was something almost human
in tbe cry which incessantly rang out.
Tbe i .Tioer said, in effect, that the dogs
seemed to understand tbat a dreadful
fate was at hand for them. Every
second, every part:cle of a second
came that terrible mingled yelp, and
wbiue, and cry. It could be heard
for quite a long way off. It was al
most like the call of men for help.
None of the dogs, bo far as kuown,
were ftfllicted with rabies, but the
great wonder w as that tbe wbole
pack had not gone mad. Outside tbe
building was a crowd of men and wo
men intensely interested in the fate of
the dog. Even a middle-aged wom
an was oliscrvcd reaching up aud
dinging to the taiudow hill in order
to iret a jtcep at tbem.
Every here and tbere wtre pet-ping
eyes put to tbe cracks iu the fence le
tween tbe building and tbe dock to
get a sight of tbe heavy iron crate, by
means of which the dog3 are to be
submerged and drowoed this morning
It is about eight f-et 1 ng and fur
feet wide and high, and will accom
modate from fifty to one hundred doP,
according to fiiz. It is arranged to
be hoisted by windlass by man pjw
er, and then swung over tbe deck aid
down into the river. -Most of tbe
dog3 are of the common mongrel breed,
and could be put down under tie
bead tf "cur." Very few, indeed,
showed any traces of 'blood,'.' and yet
many persons, more especially wom
en, were on band yesterday to re
deem their pets, although the redeem
ing of tbe most worthless c st $3.
Tbe policemen wbo had frequently to
enter the room saiJ tbat tbere was
not one dog among tLe whole collec
tion for which be would give five
cents, bull tbeir deep moutbed dis
tress would have moved even a betrt
less kindly disposed than that of Mr.
Cer?h. The bodies of the dogs after
they are drowned will be taken to
Barren Island. Some of there Ekios
will boused for mats, and some of
tbe uofortuastes it may not be very
romantic to say It will be "tried up"
and may enter into the composition
of some of our most highly commend
ed toilet soaps.
A Parrat Htetry.
Mr. Bayar writing of animal na
ture, in the "Atlantic," tolls this sto
ry of a parrot owned by a friend ia
Chicago: When the great fire was
raging its owner saw that she conld
rescue nothing except what she in
stautly took in her hands. There
were two objects equally as dear ;
tbe parrot and tbe old family Bible ;
and she could take but one. After a
moment of hesjation, she seized the
Bible and was hastening away ; when
tbe parrot criud out in a very loud
and solemn voice :
"Good Lord, deliver ns."
No human being could have been
deaf to such appeal ; tbe precious Bi
ble was sacrificed and the bird saved.
In tbo borne to which be was taken
tbere were among other visitors a
gentleman ratber noted for volubility.
Wben tbe parrot first heard him it
listened for some time j then to tbe
amazement of all present it said, em
phatically :
"You talk too much.
Tbe gentleman was at first embar
rassed ; but presently resumed his in
terrupted dicour-e. Thereupon the
parrot laid bis head on one side; gave
an indescribably comical and con
teniptous "H'm" and added :
"Tbere he goes again."
Jtr. llayea Tpraml
Tbe present Administration is not
a very pretentious driver. Riding
out, the other evening, I overtook a
ratber snobby-looking open barouche,
drawn by two ordinary lookiog bay
horses, going along at a regular hack
jog. I he turnout l loos, to De a ratn
er ordinary affair, belonging to some
back-driver or livery man, and the oc
cupants looked like the heads of two
well-to-do but not over-wealthy fami
lies out for an airing in a public back,
as a sort of special treat to themselv
es. Cloter iafpection, however,
proved the occupants to bo none oth
er than Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, and Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Medill. ex-Mayor of Chi
cago and present editor of the Chica
go Tiibitne. It was a very harmless
looking party, but politics and . the
party were undoubtedly the staple
topics of conversation, and tbe pub
lic may, by watching the columns oi
the Tribune, get an inkling of what
was said. '
Speaking about tbe war the other
night be told bis srirl tbat tbe Rus
sians bad been making Kiscbenoff
their heacquartt rs, "aod," be added,
"ihat reminds me that 1 am some
what like tbe Russians, myself."
"Why, bow so?" .
"Well'v ain't tbismv headquarters?"
"Ob, Pasha ! Charles."
, Ob.yum, yum!" . .
"There, there, Turk care!"
"Can't Svryia me that wav, Mol
lio." 'Poliuh, Polish."
'a - rii'vnm triri vmi'11
think this is KissjenufT before I
leave."
She was Gladova it all tbe while,
t o, and was ready for a' permanent
engagement immediately after the
skirmish that night. .That'll be a
Matcbin a short time see if it won't.

markable cures. So mild as to be raie and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of tbe blood, such as tbe scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that haTe lurked in tbe system
for years, soon yield to tbk powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful

It is an excellent restorer of health and
