THE WISH-RIXO. farmer wbo wa very lucky eat on his plow a moment to rest, and just then an old woman crept past and cried : - Why do you go on dradjfog dar and night without reward? Walk two dv till you come to a great fir-tree that stands all alone in the forest and overtops all other trees. If you can hew it down, you will make your fortune." . Not waiting to have the advice re peated, the farmer shouldered bis ax and started on his journey. Sure enoufih, after tramping two days be came to the fir-tree, which be 1b euntly prepared to cut down. Just as the tree swayed, and before it fell with a crabh, there dropped out of its branches a nert containing .wo ems. The epgs rolled to the ground aid broke, and there darted out of one aoung eagle and out of the other rolled a gold riug. The eagk crew larger, as if by enchantment, and when it reached the size of a man it spread its wines as if to try their strength, then, toaring upward it cried : , " You have rescued me ; take as a reward the ring that lay in tbe other egg; it is a wish-ring. Turn it on your finger twice, and whatever your w ish is, it shall be fulfilled But remember, there is but a single wish in the ring. No sooner is that granted than it loses its power and is only an ordinary ring. Therefore consider well what you desire, eo that you may never have reason to rc-pret vour choice." So speaking the eagle soared high in the air, circled over the farmer's head a few times, then darted, like an arrow, toward the east The farmer took the ring, placed it on hits hiieer, and turned on his -,v inmi-ward. Toward evening, be reached a town where a jeweler sat in his shop behind a counter, on w hich lay Many costly rings fur sale. The farmer showed his own, and asked the merchant its value. " it isn't worth a straw," the jew eler answered. llon that tbe farmer laughed very heartily, and told the man that it was a wish ring, and of greater value than all the rings in the shop to gether. . The jeweler was a wicked, design ing man, and se he invited the farm er to remain as his gu st over night. " For," he explained, "only to shel ter a man who owns a wish-ring must bring luck." So be treated his guest to wine and fair words ; and that night, as the farmer lav sound asleep, tne wicked man stofe the magic ring from his finger and slipjd on, in its place, a common one which he had made to resemble the w ii-h-ring. Tbe next morning the jeweler was all impatience to have tht farmer begone, lie awakened him at cock crow, and said : "You had better go, for you have etill a long journey before ycu." As soon as the farmer had depart ed the jeweler closed his shop, put up the ehutters bo that no one could ieeo in. bolted the door behind him and. standing in the Middle of tbe room, be turned the ring and cried : "I wish instantlv to possess a million cold nieces 1" No sooner said than tbe great, shining cold pieces came pouring down upon him in a golden torrent over his head, shoulders ana arms. Pitiful v he cried lor mercy, and tried to reach and unbar the door-, but before he succeeded be stumbled and fell bleeding to the ground. As for the colden rain, it never stopped till the weight of the metal crushed the floor, and the jeweler and his money Bank through to the cellar.: lrn rold still poured down till the mil Hon was complete and the jeweler lav dead in the cellar beneath bis treasure. The noise, however alarmed the neighbors, who came rushing over to see what the matter was ; when they saw the man dead under his gald thev exclaimed : Doubly unfortunate is he whom blessincs kill. Afterward, the heirs came and di idd the property In the meautime. the farmer reached home in bieh spirits and showed the ring to bis wife. " Henceforth we shall never more be in want, dear wife," he said. On fortune is made. Only we must b very careful to consider well just what we ought to wish." The farmer's wife, of course, prof fered advice : "Suppose, said she, that we wish for that bit of land that lies between our two fields?" 'That icVt worth while" her husband replied. " If we work ban for a year, we ll earn enough money to buy it" So the two worked very bard, and at harvest time thev had never rais ed such a crop before. They had earned money enough to buy tbe coveted strip of land and still have bit to spare. oee, said the man, we have the land and the wish as well. The faraier's wife then suggested tlm tliev had better wish tor a cow and a horse But the farmer re plied : ue, why waste our wish or such miles? Tbe horse and co weil get anyway." Sure enough, in a year's time tl money for the horse and ccw had lHn earned. Joyfully tbe man rub bed bis hands. " The wish is saved again this year, and yet we have just what we de sire. How lucky we are H But now his wife seriously ab- So the years went by. Sometimes, when they were alone, the farmer's wife woufe remind her husband of the magic ring, and suggest many plans. But as he always answered thatthev had plenty of time, and that the "best thoughts coma last, she more and more rarelv mentioned the 1 a t A 1 L . a-. AWtM W. I ring, ana ai lasi me pouu wumau ceased speaking of it altogether. To be sure, tbe larmer looted at the ring and twirled it about as many as twenty times a day, but he was very careful never to wish. After thirty or forty years had passed away and the farmer and his wite had grown oia ana wuuc umrcu and their wish was 6till unasked, then was God very good to them, and on the same "night they died peacefully and happily. Weeping children ana granucuu dren surrounded tbe two cofiins ; and as one wished to remove the ring from the etill hand as a re membrance, the tldest6on sam : Let our father take his ring into the crave. There was always a naysUry about it; perhaps it was some dear remembrance. Our mother, too, so often looked at the ring she may have given it to bim when they were youug. So the old farmer was buried with the ring that was supposed to be a wish ring, and was not ; yet it brought as much good fortune into the home as heart could desire. St. Nicholas. The Red Sun Glows.

Now that you have a wish to be granted, she said, lou slave and toil, and are content with every thing. You might be King, Empe ror, baron, even a gentleman farmer with chests overflowing with gold ; but you dont know what ycu do want , . ' " We are young and life is long," be answered, "ihere is onlv one wish in the ring, and that is easily said. Who knows but some time we may sorely need this wish ? Are we in want of anything? Have we not prospered, to all people's aeton ishment 6ince we possessed this ring 7 lie reasonable and patient lor aw hue. In the meantime, con aider what wo really ought to wish for." adu mai was me ena ot the matter. It really seemed as if the ring had brought a blessing into the house. Granaries and barns were full to ovet Bowing and in a few years the poor farmer became a rich and port ly person, who worked with his men afield during the day as if be, too, bad to earn his daily bread ; but after supper he liked to sit in his porch contented and comfortable, and return tbe kindly greeting of the folk wbo passed and wished biia a respectful good evening. irilliancy, wider sweep and in the .ct that it does not accompany unrise and sunset, but precedes or follows them by about one hour bowing that the reflection of light. such it is. comes to us irom a substance forty or fifty miles above the ear'h s surface.

These served for a av, but we have been three months getting a belter one. in uie auu odes the same "Cioua iiow was ttrihuted to the aurora an4ralis. he Government astronomer of Aus tralia explains it by the presence ol queous vapors in the higher siraia f the atmosphere. He predicted wet weather and his prediction was followed by copious rains all ovei the Australia continent. The same kv clow elsewhere has not been at tended by unusual wet weather The vapor theory, w hich first wai- ut forth by men of science in man) quarters, has buen aoanooneu o them alter learning oi ine siuiuua ntous appearance of the same glow n many quarters ot the world. Meteoric dust was tne nexiexpia nation vouchsafed by men learned n the mysteries of astronomy, and laymen may be excused ll they received it with some incredulity Professor Langely tr lis us that ovei 10.000.000 of meteorites enter our atmosphere daily and are dissipated in dust and vapor in the upper at mosnhere. Ihe amount ot mattei added to the atmosphere in this wa is estimated at not less than lUUtons nor more than 1OU0 tons daily, li order to produce the peculiar condi ... . - . tion of the at mosphere noted lor three months past the meteoric streaai would have to be unusually dense and fully fifty million miles in thick ness. Professor Larijrley concludes- that it would be hardly possible thai there should be such a meteoric influx unaccompanied by hootinp stars, which would make its advent visible to all. Without rejecting the meteoric theory entirely, he re cards it as extremely improbable. Tbe theory which now tinos mosi eneral acceptance is that of volcan ic dust in the upper atmosphere. thrown out in the great eruption in Java and elsewhere in August last Phis explanation was first put fort! by Mr. J. Norman Lockver, a noted physicist of London. Professor Langlev accepts it as probably th true explanation, but Mr. Proctei reacts it. It accords, however, so nearly with thecommon obervatioi tnd experience that inquiries find relief in 6uch a reasonable explana tion of the unusual phenomenon Every big conflagration gives us oi i small scale, something ot the same result which the Java eruptions pro duce on a laree scale. After the greateruption of the Alaska volcanoes in October last fine pumice dust wasdeposited many milesaway. I the eieater convulsion in Java it is not improbable that finely pulver ized matter was home up by the as cendant air current to very nearlv the very topmost layer of the atraos phere, and hai been carried since then to the lour quarters of tne globe.

Tbe nearer we get to the islano the more extraordinary are the accounts oi the sky glow.

Vhiladelphia tress. le lengthening Short Women. The following is condensed from a letter lrom tbe special correspond ent of tbe Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, written from U)lumbia, South Carolina, and presents some interesting facts : "Standing at tbe door of the hotel, the building I can see farthest to the left is the State House, and that to the right the United States court house and postoffice. Each building represents a distinct and radically different idea here in South Carolina. There 8re some trials now going on in the United States courts, and tho great State of South Carolina has chosen to put itself in the role of de fondants. Although a 'sovereign' State now in the opinion of her citi ens iustaa much as when they de clared that the United States had no rip ht to imbose customs duties and Oid Jackson brought thtm to their senses, she deigns to 6end ambassa dors in the persons of Congressmen to the foreign court at Washington. They go through a form of electing py popular eunrage tnese congress men. But as I will proceed to show in the course of my correspondence, the elections in South Carolina are a perfect farce so for as expressing the will of more than half the citizens. A hundred thousand citizens, more than half the voters, are practically disfranchised in South Carolina. To-day South Carolina is Repub lican by a large majority on a fair vote, but she is counted in among the States of the 'Solid South,1 "Tbe shotgun and bull whip are hidden away. They made too much noise and startled the people of the North. They caused the 'bloody shirt' to be too much ofa'ttrnble reality. With that as the banner of Bourbonism waving over the 'Solid South,' the opposite spectacle of a 'Solid North' presented itself as an obstacle to tie election of a Demo cratic President. The 'new method' own here is quieter than the old, ut it is even morectlective tnan tne Id in stifiing opposition. The pres- nt trials going on will develop come ost astounding facts as to this new method.' Not satisfied with havine assed an election law, which with the most cnsutnmate ingenuity, ullifies the votes of almost the en- ire Republican party ot South Caro- ma, tne lioumon manners uawnf stablished a svstem ot traud that as long as it stands makes their regime s strondv established ns if the State iad a cordon of Confederate cannons. With the injustice of the election aw the United States has nothing to o ; the Federal authority is impor tant to deal with it ; but it raised it arm against the intimation and cheating practiced at the last, election of Congressmen. "This is causus belli "South Carolina responded with ilacnty to tnat challenge. ine Democratic State Central Commit tee demanded that tne Legislature hould make an appropriation to i. if . . employ counsel to otieai ine per ecutions ot the federal govern ment. Ihe other day tne Lg slaturB met, and Governor Thcuip-, on in his message seconded the demand of Democratic State Committee, and almost the' first pro ceeding of the LegitJaturn was the appropriation ot SlU.UUtl to dehna the prisoners. In bis message Gov. Ihompson expresses his opinion that the state courts are quite com petent to deal with the cases with- ut the interposition ol the f eoerai authority. The State Supreme Court aiso comes kindly to the front with a letter read bv defendants counsel, suggesting that the Federal Court has no power to 'stand asifie uror8. In view of these trials the Legislature passed a law at the last session which was intended to wipe out the practice of the United States Court in this particular. It will be een at once that in disaffected State like South Carolina the National government would be bad ly crippled were it to submit to the hctation ot the Legislature as to procedure in its own courts. The passage ot this law was considered a iiasUrstroke, and the liourbons pened their mouths aghast when Circuit Judge Bond dared to use his own dcretion and refuse be to bound bv the Slate law, in spite also ot what was intended as a polite man late of South Carolina Supremo Court "There is much agitation and in dignation on the part of the Georgia and South Caruhna newspaper over the 'presumption' of the Federal authorities in 'making an attack on the election officers ot the I'a metto State. A picturesque Columbia cor respondent of the Augusta Chronicle and LbwUtlutwnaitst exultantly speaks of of the action of the Legis lature in appiopruting MO.iAW to defeud the prisoners as making 'preparations to resist the common enemy,' and he adds: 'Over there representatives of the people the pal metto flag proudly waved ; and the stars and stripes, that usually occu pied a staff higher than the palmet to, was missing. Standing in the middle of the street watching both flags and thinking of what has transpired under each, it seemed that the old questions between the National government and the State had been renewed, and they have been, but they will be settled in an entirely diflerent manner from that proposed in 1800. Now that majes ty of the law and not the power of tbe sword is invoked to decide the differences ; the lawyers and not the soldiers are to make the fight, and words this time will be more effec tive and successful than bulleta were in the old days." "The same correspondent vigor ously describes the prosecuting offi cers, the witnesses, theGreeubackers (Independents,) and colored specta tors as a 'piratical crew.' This cor- cated gentleman. He does not pro fess to be a llepuojican ; ne nas simply burst from the shackles of Southern Bourbonism. So high is his reputation that, notwithstanding his independent views, he has been twice elected to congress, ana ne served on some of the most impor tant committees. At the last elec tion be was 'snowed under, or rath- . . , . x- . . . er couniea ouu ioi. comem with defeating him, his Bourbon enemies, witn tne Napoleonic iaea, followed up their victory and com mitted the grossest atrocities on ne groes who had voted for Mr. Speer. Prosecutions were brought by 3ir. Speer he baying been appointed United States Uistnct Attorney and eight of the ku-kluxers were con victed and are now languishing in jail. In his own State Mr. Speer is still considered a reputable gentle man, and is highly esteemed by bis fellow citizens of Atlanta. But since he has come to South Carolina he hag been subjected to a tirade of abuse that would be blackguardly were it not uttered by such 'chival rous' Southern gentlemen. "All along the line the Georgia and South Carolina papers opened up a fusilade against Mr. Speer. The Charleston Neic3 and Courier boasts of being the leading paper in the South. Last Thursday it had a flaminc editorial against 'Speer. the mm IPs 1884. Absolutely Pure. Thin powder never varies. A marvel ofpnrllj atrestti ani wboltMineoesa.

Because Mr. Speer's grandfather was a Union man, his bones are dragged out The grand son is spoken of as a Judas Iscariot, who in accepting services ia the government ot his country is earn ing his 'thirty pieces of silver' 'by- packing juries to secure the convic tion 01 innocent men, who are Southerners like himself, and to the manor boru.' Old AlexanderSpeer, the champion of tho Unionists in South Carolina, ostracised because he was loval and he withdrew to Jeorgia. Ihe Charleston -Vua ana Courier now screechingly demands that Emory Sper, the renegade, should be treated and regarded as the renegade that he is,' because he is the 'hireling of thu enemy ot his chame.' The Xeus and Courier says it could have forgiven Ben. Butter worth for coming here to prosecute the cases, but for a southern man to accept a retainer from the Federal government is unpardonable. As for Speer, that 'patriotic' sheet yells, 'In Georgia be is despised by all re spec-table citizens. At Washington the Democrats had no use for him. If there was any hope that he would recover lost ground and rehabilitate himself in the esteem of his country men, that hope is past and gone. Yet he will not be forgotten. In South Carolina, at all events, he will be remembered as fit for the gallery of worthies in which Scott, Moses, Whipper, Parker and Cordozo have a conspicuous pl.ice. These never served the Republican party more unscrupulously than Speer does, and it must be said in their favor that they merely stole our good r.ame, and make us poor in deed. "Democratic members of the bar iu Ohio will be surprised to learn that so far ie tbe feeling against Mr. Speer carrid that even professional courtesy c.in not bridge it over. None of tba-attorneys for the defense will speak to him or recognize him, either socially or as a brother mem ber of the bar. hen he is relerred to in addressing the court it is but as 'The Governments Representative from Georgia.' That's so withering, but still Mr. Speer manages to stand it. "An Englishman named Dawson is the editor and chief proprietor of the News and Courier. He has more venom than the most vituperative native copperhead Bourbon. It is said he landed in South Carolina nn a blockade runner during the war. Of a shrewd turn of mind, he was friendly to the Radicals when Grant's troopers were here, and his check book grew fat thereby. Kv n down to 1S7G he was on the fence, and urged the re-election of Cham berlain, the Republican Governor. His support of Wade Hampton wan tardily given, but when once Dawson had swung around ho burned his bridges behind him. He is now the j autocrat of Bourbonism, the King of' South Carolina. He is secretly cor dially disliked by Democrats nearly as much as by Republicans. But there is no newspaper competition in South Carolina. Almost unknown in the North, except among journal ists, the Charleston News and Courier is practically the only newspaper in Sonth Carolina. Down there among the paltri9 and orange trees on the sea coast the Czar of Carolina sits en throned on a printing prss. A dash of his pen is as the crack of the bull whip, and the brave Carolinians sub mit with a smothf-red curse. Not only has the Republican party no organ, and no chance at the slightest fair treatment in the press, but by the despotism ot lMwsoni-.ni l.ne leant independedco on the p;irt of Democrats who hunger after a better state ot things is instantly and ef fectually throttled."

Tha Londan World tlls of a ne contrivance for making ladies taller The womaa who is to undergo this, respondent does not exaggerate one process is placua in a very ticht corset, and her feet are placed in very tight shoes weighted with fifty pounds of lead each. She is then placed in a machine consisting of a ring which encirles her waist and is suspended from tbe ceiling at such a height as to prevent her feet from touching the ground. The pressure of the corset forces the upper part of her body upward, and the weight ot the ehees stretches her frm the weight downward. It is estimated that the extreme length to which the pne can be stretched by the process thus described is two inches, and that the knee and hip joints can be stretched an inch and a half more. In us three inches and a half can be added to the height of aln ost any woman who has courage to undergo the trouble and pain ntccessarily connected with a stretch ing process la?tiug with brief inter vals, during five and six months. wnit tne superlative contempt and abhorrence of South Carolina Bourbons for the National govern ment and its executive officers. "You in Ohio can hardly conceive of the bitter malignity of the Demo crats down here for any one of an oppenite political persuasion. But they reserve the vials of their wrath for any Southern man who chooses to walk out of the Egyptian darkess into the light of independent liberal ism. The Attorney General request ed Hon. Emory Speer, of Georgia, to assist District Attorney Melton ia these cases. As is generally known in Ohio, Hon. Ben. Butterwertb, of Cincinnati, originally received the employment, but his late appoint ment as Commissioner of Patents at Washington ot course prevented his appearing in court Mr. Speer is one of the most talented young law yers of the South. He comes of good stock and is an honorable, edu-1 bellows. A pretty good story is told upon the authority of one of the I'.ist office Department Inspectors who was sent to North Carolina tu attend to the proseetuion of a man who had rifled the United States mails. While the Inspector was waiting for his case to be called he sat in the Court room. A jury filed into the Court room, and the Inspector ob served that it was composed of sev en white and five colored men. Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict ?" asked the Clerk in that solemn manner which pertains to Court Clerks. "We am, sir," responded an old gray haired negro man, who had been made foreman of the jury, either out of sport or because of his white head. "What is the verdict ?" asked the Clerk, "Why, Judge,",said the colored foreman, looking up at the Court, "de jury am gone 'dimmy cratic." Tn making roosts for towls let them be level and on a lino. If they are so arranged as to have some of thera high and others low, the fowls will crowd together on the higher perch es, leaving the lower ones unoccupied which is not only a waste of space but a cause of sore feet and other ailment, as the heavier fowls can not easily get on or off the perches when they are very high. The low er they are the better, provided the coops are ventilated at the top and warm and dry nea the top. The way they do business in the west is illustrated by the following notice, pinned on a lawyer's door: 'Gone to bury wife. Back in thirty minutes.'
