We enter the harbor of Horta, chief city of Fa val, one of the Azores. No time was lost in getting ashore. Everybody sought out his best suit. From the" hold of the ship great trunks were yielded up, and silks and diamonds and costly costumes, long unused, were eagerly brought into requisition. At last we were ready, and soon our feet touched the long desired land. Horta as a harbor is scarcely worth describing. Lying idly, swinging on the waters, were a few fishing smacks, the hulk of an old American ship told a story of wreck and disaster, while a email Danish bri lately come in for a supply of fresh water, said plainly enough in its loneliness that few vessels enter ed this solitary harbor, and then only when they could not help it. as in the caeo:' the India merchant men, coming hither for a renewal of provisions and some fresh meat. The town itself looked as dreary and as lonesome as the harbor. Here and there a group of men might be seen talking laughing and jesting with one another but evidently, as far as occupation was concerned, practically unemployed. Some lay on the wharves, indolent as the laz xaroni of Naples, while others again went up and down the narrow streets, heedless of purpose and caring little, to all appearance, how soon the day might end. A few old women, in long blue cloaks and heavy hoods, were in the streets, and some bare footed 6isters from a neighboring convent made up the picture pre sented for our inspection on our ar rival in Horta. The account for the email humbcr of persons we encoun tered is not difficult, since the peo ple of these islands seldom come out in the daytime, leaving until the cool evening the enjovment of their recreation and what business trans actions they comtemplate. The news of our coming, however, eoon spread and curious faces of tuore curious people were to be sen at erery corner, eagerly eyeing the lately arrived strangers. Nor were the "native unfriendly in their manifestations in their professions even of friendship. The Governor of the islaud sent some of his slaves to offer us baskets of oranges and other tropical fruits. This kindness we interpreted as a good omen, re minding us, as it did, of the hospi tality of Guacanagari to Columbus on his arrival at San Salvador. Call ing upon tne friendly and kind heart ed stranger we returned our very sincere thanks and were in turn re ceived with most generous and po lite attention. The Governor's name was Fernan dez Correjo. A Brazilian bv birth, he had been a lona time at the Court of Lisbon, where by intelligence and breadth of view he had become dis tinguished, endoaring himself to all the court and miking Ilhis of friends. He soon acquired pl.iee and power, and was named (iovern or f Rival in token of his many1 services and the osh-eni in winch lie i prized ;nd invers was neiu ny me govenimeni ijl!lC(j,.

"If the country pleases you 60 much," replied Leonia, "why not remain here? But vou are only jok- ins-. Moreover.

The balustrading along the front heavily draped as St was with flags, almost entirely if it did not wholly, conceal these ladies from the vast audience in front, while those who stood back of them shut them in from the sight of the mass or officials on the platform. A few of the correspondents who had been given seats close to the presidential party, and a few' of those near Gen. Garfield, as he turned from the platform, in common with all the rest, saw that he stooped to kiss his old mother, and then his wife, who sat next It was an act as far re moved as possible from spectacular, and there was scarcely a dry eye in the whole circle which noticed this beautiful act of filial and manly de votion. ' - - s - There " had been a multitude of moist eyes in the Senate Chamber, as one'after another of the great crowd there recognized the white haiird mother of the President. There had been many more as she was helped down the steps of the east jiorch and forward to a seat near her son. Her presence was the one touching feature in the magnifi cent pageant. American manhood and the representatives of the for eign nations uncovered as she pass ed, to do her honor. To every one, while the tears started, there evident ly arose a vision of the lone road from widowhood, and poverty over which she., had struggled with - her boy, seeing him rise step by step, from one success and honor, to an other, up to this position of crown ing triumph. It was the subject of seneral mention in all the crowds throughout the dav, and to the honor of all, rough and cultivated, "ic act was referred to in tones that indicated deep feeling, and with eyes which told how strongly the incident appealed to the most sa cred feelings in the heart of man!

When the repast was over lionna Leonia (this was the lady's name) sat dawn at the piano, and in a moment our hearts were entrancad b the most exquis ite tones I had ever heard evoked from that instrument I imagined that I was again at home.

From Pennsy ' Yesterday afternoon, when the lawyers of Justice Cary's court were waning mr mo vcrutci in a pewy lareeny case. Attorney Soderberg related an incident of his early child hood in Minnesota, illustrative of the . peculiar customs in vogue in that state: "I knew an old farmer there who owned 10 acres of timber hind, where millions of pigeons came each year to roost 1 hey devasted the wheat fields, and tho old coon used to catch the birds in neta and thrash them out on the barn floor. Each hire! had three ounces of wheat in hia- crop, and it was a bad vear for old Thompson when he couldn't ship a thousand bushels of wheat to market at GO a bushel, and it ranked A No. 1 when it reached the Chicago elevator. If there had been few millions more of pigeons he would have come pretty near get ting a corner on the Minnesota wheat crop." "I knew'a planter down in Ala bama," said KiUrell, "who was ful ly as sharp as that He trained an alligator to work up and down the river, and catch the little piccanin nies that played along the bank. The alligator rwould take the little kids in his jaws and swim back to the plantation. It was a dull day that he couldn't corrall three or four.. The planter raised 'em care fully, and when they got big sold 'em in New Orleans at prices rang ing from three to ten thousand apiece He. was rolling in wealth when Lin coln's emancipation proclamation was issued, and after that the alliga tor never did any more work. The man is now barely keeping body and soul together in Washington, clerking in one of the Government bureaus at eight hundred dollars a year." ' . Judge Cary evinced tho greatest interest in these wierd tales, and edged up to the group. ' "These are curious yarns, gentle men, but I believe them all. I had a dog once, back in Nebraska, that I kept to herd lumber." "Leg pardon, Judge; did you say the dog herded lumber?" "Yes, sir, cotton wood boards. We always kept a dog there to bring the lumber in at night" Everybody now payed the closest attention, as they knew that the boss was at rt ork. "It was this way. Cottonwood boards warp like thunder in the sun. A board would begin to bump its hack up about if in the morning, and in about half an hour it would turn over, By 11 it would warp the other way with the heat and turn the other way. Kach time it turned it moved a couple of feet, always following-the sun towards the west. The first summer I lived in Brown ville ovtr ten thousand feet of lumber skipped ouf to the hills the day before I had advertised a house raiding. I went tq the county spat to attend a lawsuit, and when I got back there wasn't a stick: of tim? bcr left It had strayed away in the uplands.

It is our practice, as far as possible, to prepare our ground the autumn previous, so that the fertilizers may become finely mixed with the soil. We have found old j leaf mold a very good manure.

We like the wrinkled, creen. sweet sorts, which, when cooked, are surrounded with juice and eaten with a spoon. The Philadelphia pea is very early, and is a salable early pea in market.
