Oil, the good that is wrought When sunny thought Comes home to the hearts of all, " Tis like that given To earth from heaven When the sun -kissed rain drops fall The happiness wrought By a sunny thought Is beyond all earthly ken. Thoughts gloomy and wise Fill the mind with surprise, But they touch not the hearts of men. The gems that shine In the distant mine May be far more precious than gold. But the blossoms sweet, That bloom at your feet Have a wealth that is all untold. Iu heavens afar C lea ma many a star, And for these you may strive in vain ; But the daisies grow In the grass below All along life's winding lane. When the roses gay Turn to sombre gray And the lillies as black as night. It is time to weep O'er the gems that sleep Or the gleaming stars so bright. Like the sun that glows In the heart of a rose, When kitted by a drop of dew, Is the glory wrought Iu the soul by a thought If sunny, and pure and true. Io not stop to sigh For the stars on high, But gather the blossoms rare. Each little flower, Though it Mve but an hour, Has made the world more fair. THE DEACON'S SOX. 'I am going away, mother,' Frank KHrmond eaid, looking luruvely in to his mother's face. A sad, troubled face hia mother turned toward hirn for an instant, but she eaid nothing. She stood at the table in the broad, low. old fashioned kitchen, busy with some household task, and Frank a boy of sixteen was sitting on the lounge in the corner of the commodious room, with his can slouched over bis eyes with a half defiant look upon his face as he watched his mother. 'It's no use,' he eaid, 'father won't give me a chance to know anything. 1 must work from morning till night He says I don't need to study to be a farmer. I had a book hid at the barn that I have been studying when I had time; he found it just now and boxed my ears with itfthea tore it up and threw it away, lie said he eues"ed hed stop that nonsense. Father ie a rich man and I am the only boy. Why can't he give me a chance to know something, moth er?' 'My boy,' Mrs. Raymond said, in a gentle tone, 'your father had only a common education, and he lias been successful in business. He thinks others can do as he has done. Perhaps you had better wait a little longer. Try to te patient,' Mr. Raymond sometimes had more than she could do to smooth the ruffled temper of her impulsive boy. Her husband, deacon Raymond, believed in walking in the beaten track of his father's, any inno vation that caused the slightest de viation from the old way was looked upon with pious horror. lie was one ot the deacons ol an orthodox church, strict and upright with his dealings with other men, but he was Puritanical in his views and rigid in his family relations. There were no fond words or ca resses in his family circle, home was simply the place where he took his meals. His broad acres yielded fine crops. Every year he deposited a large sum in the bank. He paid his proportion of church expenses ; he gave liber ally to charitable enterprises and foreign missions, while in his own house a boy his 6on was growing up almost a heathen in point of knowledge. Was it strange that, with a boy's keen perception. Frank Raymond was discontented? Mrs. Raymond did all that lay in her power to make the rough place smooth for her son, but it was com paratively little 6he could do. The deacon did not believe that the women were good financiers, so he held the purse strings, handing out in homoiopathic measures and allowance that he deemed sufficient for woman's need. Mrs. Raymond was one of those women who say little, but resolved if any more trouble occurred between f rank and his father, not to oppose his leaving home. Matters reached a crisis a few days later when Deacon Raymond sold a beautiful colt that Frank had been permitted to call his own. Frank had petted the beautiful creature, and had lavished upon it a wealth of affection that the colt seem ed to understand. It would dash across the pasture to meet him, and lay its fine arched neck over the boy's shoulder in per fect contentment. When Frank knew that his pet was sold he went to the house, and lying his head dowu on his mother's lap he wept as if he had lost a kind friend. 'Don't try to keep me any longer, mother,' Frank said, when his grief had exhausted itself. 'Father flog ged me just now because I told him that the colt was mine. He said he would teach me not to interfere with his affairs. I shall come home some time, mother, to see you,' he said, jumping up and throwing his arms about her neck in a tearful embrace, 'but lather does not love me. I heard him tell the man that bought Kitty that boys were mbre plague than profit To-morrow father will be away all day. I shall do the work he leaves for me, then I shall leave. To-night I will pack my valise, it will hold all I shall need,' and Frank Raymond busied himself while Dea con Raymond was sleeping the sleep of the just that night, in packing up the few articles that ; belonged to him. Few they were, too, for Deacon set ESTABLISHED, 1827. SOMEESET, PA., WEDNESDAY. Raymond did not think a boy's room needed anything ornamental or attractive. No pictures adorned the walls of Frank Raymond's room. There was no well filled book case to employ and gratify his leisure mo ments. No carpet on the floor ; ''boys did not need such things," he told his wife when she ventured a plea for a carpet and a few pictures to make the room more cheerful and home like. Frank had a passionate love for the beautiful in nature and art a love that had been -dwarfed and crushed al) his life. - Mrs. Raymond was very fond of flowers. A friend gave her cuttings and roots from her own yard, and one fine spring morning, when Dea-J con Raymond had started for town, frank set to worK in nign Bpinis. He spaded and laid out some flower beds in the front yard, set out his roots and cuttings and sowed some seed. At noon his father returned, and soeing the freshly stirred earth, in quired into the matter ; then pulled up the choice roots that had been set and tossed them over the fence, because they would interfere with the growth of the grass. There was really no chance for Frank Raymond in the home that his father made so very uncomfort able. The morning dawned a clear, crisp morning in October. The trees were throwing down their brilliant bued leaves over the path. The yard was full of them. Deacon Raymond utilized autumn leaves by having them raked up and mixed with loam for fertilizing the land. If he had found a spray of those gorgeous leaves fastened upon the cheerless walls of bis son's room lie , would have tossed it contemptuous Iv from the window. Frank Raymond hung about his father s wagon regretlully that morn ing. His heart ached ; he was hungry for a kind word. If it had only been spoken it would have turned the scale. But at last his father noticed his loitering, and in his imperative way ordered him to go to his work and quit idling. Frank walked off and Mr. Ray mond drove off. After his father had gone, Frank finished the tasks that had been giv en him, and then went to the house to bid his mother good bye. His intention was to goto Weston a manufacturins town a hundred miles away. ''" ' Mrs. Raymond had written a let ter of introduction to a manufactur er there, whose wife was her friend, briefly exDlaimnc that her son want ed work, and asked him, if possible to give him a chance. A sad afternoon was that to Mrs. Raymond. She had given Frank all the' money she possessed a few dol lars andhe had gone, after a tear ful parting and a promise given to write when he had found work. Frank Raymond walked sadly. but resolutely down the road. Once he turned about anu looked yearningly toward the house. His mother was standing oy me door. He waved his hand : then, dash- ingjhe tears from his eyes, walked quicklv ouward, and was soon out of sight. If the inflexible laws of justice were tempered by gentleness and forbearance, if homes were made as attractive as are the gilded haunts of vjee and crime, our prisons and reformatory institutions would be less crowded. Mrs. Raymond dreaded her hus band's return, for she knew how an gry he would be, and thought it might be a righteous indignation, still he was a very human deacon after all, and the contingency was one that hi would not be prepared to meet When Deacon Raymond returned at dusk, and called out in his quick, impatient way for Frank to come and take his horie, Mrs. Raymond re sponded to the summons, telling him that Frank had left home. The Deacon looked unutterable things, and uttered a few words that had better leen unsaid. 'Ungrateful, good-for-nothing boy,' he exclaimed at last, after he had exhausted all the expletives that a deacon's vocabulary may lawfully contain, 'after all my toiling and saving to lay up money for him.' If a little of it had been judicious ly used instead of being laid up, his wife thought the trouble might have been averted, but she considerately left the opinion unexpressed. After that night Deacon Raymond rarely mentioned Frank's name, but he grew more morose, if possible, than before. When Christmas day came, and he and his wife sat down to their bountiful meal, the deacon did not enter into the enjoyment of those comforts with his accustomed zest. Frank was not there ; he did not give that reason, however, for his poor appetite, but guessed he was getting dyspepsia. Two Christmas seasons had gone by since Frank Raymond left h home. His mother had heard from him many times during that time. Mrs. Leslie, the wife of Frank's employer, had written several let ters, speaking of Frank in high terms of commendation, and telling how much confidence her husband reposed in him. He was working bard, saving his wages to go to school "when he had earned enough. Once he wrote: You might give my love to fath er, if he would care; but he won't, I suppose.' And Mrs. Raymond accidentally left the letter where her husband would be sure, to pick it up, and came back for it just in time to see him give it a toss on the table aa she opened the door, with a muttered expression that sounded like : 'Poor, foolish boy 1' ' -r . ; i Two years passed since Frank Raymond went from home. , . - 'Mary,' he said, one evening, after he had hung about the house for a week in an aimless, dispirited way, 'I am afraid I was a little too close SEPTEMBER 26, ISS3. with our boy. I was saving for him, but maybe if I'd given him a little more liberty he would have stayed at home.' . 'Do you think he would come home, Mary, if I should send for him?' 'I feel sure that he would,' his wife answered in a low tone. "I'll tell you what we will do, Mary,' he said, eagerly ; 'we will fix that south front chamber for him. Use your good taste and make the room as pretty as it can be made. You shall have all the money you need and get things that are good. Get pictures, get a good case full of books, and, well, you know what he will like. I'll 6ee if we can't have our boy again. It was a mistake. I see it now. I was too hard with him, but I thought I must hold a tight rein or he would go to ruin; the wonder is that he wasn t ruined from the course I took with him.' Fresh paint, with delicate paper on the walls, a soft, mossy looking carpet, that harmonized with the pa per, then a costly set of furniture with the upholstering to correspond, Blue and drab were the prevail ing tints Frank's favorite colors. Curtains of a delicate drab hung in rich folds from the windows, gar nished with blue lamorequins and inner curtains of frosty lace. Fine paintings and engravings were hung upon the walls. A richly carved walnut book case in one cor ner of the room showed a carefully selected collection of books for study and recreation. Mrs. Raymond had transformed the room into an enchanted cham ber. When the south chamber was in readiness, the deacon proposed that the parlor and sitting room should be freshened and refurnished and a piano was placed in the par lor. Their preparations were at last completed, and Mrs. Raymond wrote to Frank, inviting him to come home and spend Christmas. She wrote, too, that his father would be glad to see him. Frank Raymond was surprised, but thankful that his father had re lented, ami lost no time in returning home. Deacon Raymond met his boy on the threshold with outstretched arms and the patient wife and mother, as she looked with tears of joy running down her face, felt that fur years of waiting had received a rich reward. Frank Raymond was speechless with emotion when, at bed time, he was shown to the south chamber prepared for his comfort He felt as though he was m dreamland with bis eyes open, everything seemed so unreal. - He slept at last, and was awaken ed by his " father in the -morning to go to the barn, where a fresh sur prise awaited him. Kitty, the chestnutcolt, full grown and well trained for service, and bought b' the deacon for his son's special um! was in her stall. Frank Raymond resigned his po sition in the manufactory at est- on, not without the deep regret of his employer; but at last home and happiness were held out to him, and famished for affection as he had been all his life, he would have re fused a throne for his father's love. Seeing llattle Field. He was from Syracuse, and he said he'd give almost anything to see a battle-field. It was therefore ar ranged that we should go up to Fort Pillow in company. I never saw such an enthusiast on the sub ject of war and fields of carnage. He went out and bought three war his tories before we left Memphis, and on the way up he talked war to every man who would listen to him. I warned him not to expect to see too much, and not to be disappoint ed if Greeley, Headley and Abbott had made some errors in describing the lay of the fields,, which none of them had seen within five hundred miles. "Oh, of course not," he replied, " I don't expect to see more than a fort, five or six bursted cannon, a tew skulls, half a dozen cannon wheels and a lot of musket barrels. I shall bring away about a dozen swords and revolvers as relics, and I wonder what it would cost to get one of the old cannon up to Syr acuse ?" When the boat swung in at Fort Pillow I saw ray friends chin begin to fall. The landing was a steep slide for a distance of a hundred feet and the mud was a foot deep. We dropped off the cang-plank, and the steamer went her way. Vw hat's this?" inquired the Syracuse man, as he looked up the grade. " This is an historic bluff. Prepare to see a battlefield." We tugged and etrained and swore, and finally reached the bluff, each man plastered with mud from collar button down. " Now, then, said I," after we had scraped off a part of our loads," over there is the fort. You can see where all thf big guns were mounted. Above it must be the citadel. Over to the right is the ravine up which Forest's men advanced, and " u See here," interrupted the gen tleman from New York, "do you call this a battlefield ?" " Certainly." u Thi9 infernal sand those thick ets that swamp them two nigger cabins are a battle-field, eh ?" f "Of course."" " . " Well, sir, it's an infernal fraud a dead swindle on honest men, and I've a good mind to punch your head for bringing me up here ! Bat tlefield, eh? Why, sir, if I couldn't take ten acres of Northern tamarack swamp and make a better battlefield than this I'd never look a decent man in the face again ! Go on with you! You are a liar and a de ceiver !" ' . And he went off and sat down on a log and sulked and growled and grumbled for six long hours, and when I showed him bullets and breast-plates and other relics, he charged me with having brought them up from Memphis in my pock ets. M.Quad. There were 53 deaths in Pitts burgh last week. . era Hot "Waiter m a Meaicine. A young man who was compelled to resign his position in one of the puhlic schools of this city because he was breaking down with consump tion, and who had eysr since been battling for life, although with little apparent prospect of recovery, was encountered several days ago in a Uroadwav restaurant "I see," he said, "that you seem surprised at mv improved appear ance. No doubt you wonder what could have caused such a change, Well, it was a very simple remedy nothing but hot water. "Hot water?" "That's all. You remember my telling you that I had tried all the usual remedies? I consulted some of the leading specialists in affec tions of the lungs in this city, and paid them large fees. They went through the usual course of experi mentation with me under all sorts of medicines I went to the Adiron dacks in the summer and to Florida in the winter, but none of these thin us did me any substantial good. I lost ground steadily, grew to be almost a skeleton, and had all the worst symptoms of a consumptive whose end is near at hand. At that juncture a friend told me that he had heard of cures being effected by drinking hot water. "I consulted a physician who had paid special attention to this hot water cure and was using it with many patients. He said : "There is nothing,you know, more dilhcult than to introduce a new remedy into medical practice, par ticularly if it is a very simple one and strikes at the root of eironeous views and prejudices that have long been entertained. I he old-school practitioners have tried for years to cure consumption, but they are as far from doing it as ever. "Now. the only rational explana tion of consumption is that it results from defective nutrition, It is al ways accompanied by mal-assimila-tion of food. In nearly every case the stomach is the seat of a fermentation that nec essarily prevents proper digestion. The first thing to do is to remove that fermentation, and put the stom ach into condition to receive food and dispose of it properly. This is effected by taking water into the stomach, as hot as it can be borne, an hour before each meal. This leaves the stomach clean and pure, like a boiler that has been washed out. Then put into the stomach food that is in the greatest degree nutritious and the least disposed to fermentation. "No food answers this description better than tender beef. A little stale bread may be eaten with it. Drink nothing but pure water, and a3 little of that at meals as possible. Vegetables, sweets, tea, coffee and alcoholic liquor should be avoided. Put tender beef alone into a clean and pure stomach three times a day, and the system will be fortified and built up'until the washing away, that is the chief feature of consump tion, ceases, and recuperation sets in." "This reasoning impressed me. I began by taking one cup of hot water an hour befere each meal, and gradually increased the dose to three cups. At first it was unpleasant to take, but now I drink it with a rel ish that I never experience in drink ing the choicest wine. I began to pick up immediately after the new treatment and gained fourteen pounds within two months. I have gained ground steadily in this try ing climate of New 1 ork ; and 1 tell you, sir. I feel on a sure way to re covery." Here an old gentleman who had been standing near, and evidently listening to the conversation, turned to the teacher and said : "This rem edy of hot water drinking has at tracted my attention for some time. It has been of immense service in relieving me of a terrible dyspepsia that tormented me for many years. I tried numerous able physicians, and there is probably no medicine that is prescribed for such an ailment which was not given to me; but nene of them gave me any perma nent benefit But the simple remedy of drinking hot water, accompanied by a rational regulation of my diet, has entirely cured me, advanced though I am in life. It was not the dieting alone that did it I had tried that before. It was the nse ot hot water that cured me, for that made it possible to derive benefit from a judicious diet. I have also found this treatment of great benefit in kidney diseases, which are large ly owing to mal-assimilation of food." The teachers listened very atten tively to the old gentleman's re marks : "I am glad to learn that you ex perience, he said, agrees so luiiy with mine. I have become acquaint ed with various cases in which this simple method of treatment has ef fected permanent cures after all ef forts of the physicians had failed. 1 am convinced simply from what 1 have Been, that almost any distur bance of the human system that re sults from disorders of the stomach can be alleviated, and, in most in stances, cured in the same way. The very simplicity of . the thing may cause seme to hesitate about attaching much importance to it; but, like the ventilation of your dwellings, it may prevent disease and effect cures where all the drugs of the pharmacopce will fail." Al Sun. He Has no Objection. The Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, United States Senator from Indiana, remarks : " My opinion, sir, I have no objec-1 tion - to- giving. -I suffered from ' rheumatism ot the back, used some! St Jacobs Oil, which gave me in- stantaneous relief and finally cured me completely. I think it a remark able remedy indeed." His candid and courteous expression carries weight. How a woman can keep on talking while she twists np her black hair and has her mouth full of hairpins is a Diystery not yet explained. d WHOLE NO. 16S0. Everything at Second-Hand. This business is fifty years old,' said a New York dealer in second hand material. We occupy nearly forty city lots. They are coyered with second-hand building material. We can supply brick for interior walls, or brown stone for front walls, or granite columns for ornamental high stoops or porticos. It is all ready for use, and it is of known quality. We have thousands of feet of timber and lumber of various kinds. Every kind of lumber used in building a house can be found here, joists, studding, rafters, and roof boards. The roof itself can be had, too. Tin deteriorates some, but elates do not so much. We can supply a tin roof that is as good as it was the day it was laid. We have several cords of slates. Our lumber is better than new. It is thorough ly seasoned. We supply the lum ber for about all the swell mansions. Every piece of timber in Vander bilt's mansion came from this yard. When men put thousands of dollars into frescoes they want to be certain there will be no shrinking in the timber of their houses.' You do not confine your attention to dwellings, do you ?' 'Your question reminds me of a man from a neighboring village who came here. He said he guessed he'd got an order that would puzzle us to fill. He wanted a second hand pulpit. He was astonished when I showed him a complete out fit We had stained glass windows, crosses, altars, candlesticks, rails, mourning benches, a sprinkling bowl, and a baptistry. I showed him a full assortment of pews for the body of the church. Then I offered him a second-hand steeDle with a bell complete and all set up. He bought a pulpit and paid for it in silence. He was so astonished he couldn't talk. We have everything necessary to fit out either a mansion on Fifth avenue or a shanty for a squatter sovereign ; we just sold a pair of Italian marble mantels that probably cost S50C) each when new. They are as good now as then. You can almost see through them they are so clear and the carvine is exqui site. 1 hen we have mantels in va rious kinds of colored marble, and two in Mexican onyx that are beau tiful. Booth's Theatre is now mak ing its way here piecemeal. Here is a desk that was made in the time of Queen Elizabeth.' How much of a business is it? ' Ours is not the only yard. Last year we sold $35,000 worth of fire wood from the waste, and the toUl sales amounted to a little more than $250,000. We used to give the kindling wood away. Now it keeps a eood many teams going. There are 317 men on our pay roll. It takes a9 great skill to take fine work out of a house as to put it in.' .V. 1". Sun. Peter's New Year's Present. One New Year's day James Gor don Bennett arrived at the Union Club towards night, having made many calls. He sat down in a chair and observing that some members of the club were presenting Peter, the venerable porter of the club with $5 bills as New Year's presents he called him over, and fishing down into his pocket, brought up a bill. ' Peter, mv friend,' he said with out looking at the bill, ' t ike that' ' Thank you, sir,' said Peter, his eye glistening at the sight of a S20 bill, Bennett gazed at him a second and said : 'Wait, Peter,' anddivinng down into another pocket brought up an other bill. 4 Take that, Peter.' The performance went on for fully five minutes. Every time that the astonished Peter attempted to retire he was called back, and the prenta tion of every kind of bill from 81 to 850 went on to the amusement of the spectators. When no more bills came forth Bennett stopped and went away. Peter asked some of the members what he had best do with his hat full of money. He was ad vised to ask Mr. Bennett the next time became whether he had not given him by mistake more than he had intended. So the next day when Bennett appeared Peter said to him : ' Mr. Bennett, I think you gave me more of a New Year's present than you intended to do last night' Bennett looked at him for a few seconds, not bavins the glimmer of an idea how much he had given, or whether he had given anything at all. 'How much did I give to you, Peter?' ' Eight hundred dollars, sir.' The position was a delicate one, but not so much to a man with an income of a million a year, as to an ordinary mortal. That was the amount I intended for you, Peter,' said Bennett with out a sign of annoyance. Garfield's Generosity. Mr. Hurd, who used to be a Dem ocratic member of Congress from Ohio, tells an incident of the genial nature of Garfield : " It happened once that I a voung member was called upon to close on the Demo- j rratic side a debate, which Mr. Gar-; field was to close the next morning on behalf of the Republicans. I felt the responsibility; I wa9 ex tremely anxious to make a reply which would do credit to myself and not disgrace my party, and I went to Garfield that night and pointed out my dilema, and told him I did not feel equal to the occasion of making an impromptu response to a speech which he was fully prepar ed to make. Like the man tha' he was like a brother, I might say he told me what he was going to say, the whole line of his argument, and thus gave me the benefit of twenty-four hours' study in which to reply to him. You can under stand my admiratipn, my love, mj anxiety for that man." Miscellaneous Item. An American lady in Paris made a sensation by appearing at the ball of a foreign count in a costume of white kid, fitting like a glove. One pawnbroker in New York says that in one year he received yo,0X coats, vests and pantaloons, of which number he said 60,000 were redeemed. The wearing of rattlesnake skin9 as girdles is a new fashion set by the wife of a chemist, who, while "at a picnic in the woods of Sullivan county, N. Y., boldly killed the rep tile. She had the skin properly cured, retaining the head and its fourteen rattle5, and now values the girdle at $250. In Pike county there is a Revolu tionary brass cannon 200 years old. Thirty-five years ago it was left in charge of six prominent Democrats, on condition that it should never be used in a Republican jollification. The last of these six Democrata is now dead, but the old gun is still Democratic, and under careful guard. A public school teacher in Tennes see goes to his school barefooted, in his shirt sleeves, without any collar on, his shirt bosom open and his pants rolled up to his knees, notwith standing the fact that he has nearly grown young ladies amon; his scholars. It is said that water has the same effect upon him as upon a mad dog. CoLORLEaS AND CoLD. A yOUng girl deeply regretted that she was so colorless and cold. : Her face was too white, and her hands and feet felt as though the blood did not circulate. Alter one bottle of Hop Bitters had been taken she was the rosiest and healthiest girl in the town, with a Vivacity and cheerful ness of mind gratifying to her friends. Lightning struck a contribution box as it was being passed around in a Breathitt county, N. Y., church recently, and scattered the fragments in all directions. All the five and ten-dollar bills must have been con sumed by the electric fluid, for all that was found in. the shape of money was a plugged quarter, with one side engraved for a sleeve button. 'SIIerrKrupp, according to the spe cial catalogue prepared for his dis play at the Amsterdam Colonial Ex hibition, employs 20.000 workmen, consuming daily o,000 tons of coke and coal, and produces 750 tons iron and steel daily, in the form of guns, rails, bridge work, axles, anchors, chains, etc. Over W of the fa mono Krupp -juiis have been turned out ol the works. A groundhog recently uncovered f.ome human bones near Dubois town, Lvcoining county. Pa. Then a farmer fninl the entire skeleton. It bad bfe-n 8lout4feet below the xurf tee. The field had been cleared four years. A man named Black, who once owned the farm, disappear ed about twenty-five years ago. He had money, but no heirs. It is be lieved that the bones are his, and that he was murdered. Gen. Zach Taylor is thus eulogized by Jeff Davis : " Though richly en dowed as a selriier by natnre, the precision he exhibited in active cam paigns was not merely intuitive, for in military history I have known few men so deeply read or sc pro foundly learned. Asgentle in peace, as formidable in battle, the figure which would be emblematic of his character would be a composite of the lien and the lamb." An Austrian scientist has succeed ed in lighting up the inside of a man's body for the purpose of facili tating the performance ot surgical operations. It is expected that pat ent medicine manufacturers will now furnish an electric light with each bottle of medicine, so that the purchaser can illuminate his iDside to see that the only genuine liver rejuvenator is not tampering wit his lungrs or his never-dying soul. The heat on the Colorado desert has ben greater this season than during any previous year past, and the suffering of those whose duties compel them to make the tedious trip frequently is almost overpower ing. During the last two weeks of August the thermometer in the day time has stuck persistently at 130, and the close atmosphere has made the heat appear greater than it actually is. Tremendous thunder storms have been of frequent occur rence, and about a week ago one swept over the desert which was grand beyond description. During the reign of the Emperor Charles V., the will of an attorney who died at Padua left all he had to his nearest relative op condition that every musician residing in the city and within ten miles around it should beat his funeral, that twelve young women drtssed in green were to sing comic song9 to the mourners and make them laugh, and that while his body was lowered into the grave, the Easter Mass with the Hal lelujah should be sung. Permission to set aside thee absurd provisions wss applied for, but the judicial au thorities decided in favor of the will. In the Arkansas valley grows a weetl shaped like a ball and varies in size from one foot or less in diam eter to five or six feet, some speci mens being as tall as a man. It grows upon a small stem, which is, however, stout enough to bear the mass till it has ripened and dried, when a puff of wind will blow it over and snap the slender support Then it is that every gust of wind sends it rolling over the prairie, bounding over bushes and rocks with the greatest elasticity and light ness. When the wind is strong and high these tumbling weeds present a raost peculiar appearance as they bound from rock to rock, and in more than ane instance hunters have mistaken them for bisons and felt considerable irritation at the im possibility of bringing them within range of their guns. After nine years of assiduous work George Mexcur. of Bloomfield. Me., has just finished a writing-desk and book-case combined that contains so many thousand pieces of wood that it was found next to impossible to keep the number exact. Fifty-two kinds of wood were used in this unique piece of furniture, and there is scarcely a square inch that is not inlaid. The designs are of a very wide range, and take in animals, flowers, trees, agricultural imple ments, articles of household use, etc. The novelty of the thing is that every bit of the inlaying was done with a jack-knife, and Mr. Mexcur says he wore out 19 blades in the work. There ar many drawers in the secretary, one or two of which are intended for secret drawers. Mr. Mexcur wants to find a purchaser for the article, and thinks that $3,000 will be about half what the desk cost him in the making. decao-ir
