,: .n n pplcmlid business man,
i.l a loii hc!l on his shoulders, an
tyo on lltp ruckles, was fond of tho fair
ox, but when they ciuue to spauk of
his writicg accomplishments, llioy
shook their heads among themselves
quietly paid "Awful I positively terri
ble. Looks as it the pic3 ""'I kocu
rooting around in it," etc. , .
This merchant was a splendid fel
low, but then with his other accom
plishments ho thought ha was a great
in fact a self made man. It was
bad for him. All truly great men
writo wretched hands.. Look at Dea
con Richard Smith, Colonel Forney,
Sam. Bowles, Eli Terkij?, Sergeant
Bates, Gail Hamilton, ))r. Mary Wal
ker, aud a host of other great literary
lights.
This merchant's handwriting look
ed like a picnic in n thunder storm.
Wa saw ouo of his letters yesterday.
)u tho first page could be seen where
tho lightning had preformed a quad
ruple summersault and gono tearing
around like a wild bull in a ton acre
lot. A river Danubo was fouud" on
the socond page and along its tortuous
winding courso could bo soon the ri
val armies of tho East.
On the third pago tho storm must
havo been at its height. In the south
corner was outline ! a dripping um
brella with ten people under it, while
in tho center swimming around stumps
were pound cakes, sandwiches, nap
kins, and lunch baskets. The fourth
nud last page apparently was struck
by a three-cornered bolt of chain light
ning, that doubled and twisted itself
into more shapes in one second than
seventy-two boys with a simultaneous
attack of cucumber colic could n
three days. l spread in one hundred
and ten directions and tho signature
looked like a war map cut bia3.
A good joko is related at this mer
chant's expense. Some of his friends
secured a letter of his that was written
to a Boston house. The business head
and signature were cut off and the
merchant was then requested to ree.il
it. He picked the letter up, studied
it awhile, threw it down in disgust
and despairingly said that no deceut
man could read such beastly scrawl
ing. "The man that wrote that," con
tinued he, "must have ld a misera
ble education, and should go to school
a year or two" "Perhaps," said one of
h'13 friends, smilingly, "this will assist
you," at tho same time holding the cut
portions of the letter in place. A
blank look cams into the mediant's
face, then he looked up, and thunder
ed out "Hang it, nny child can read
that ; plain as a circus poster; it's a
latter I wrote to King & Co., of Bos
ton." lie set em up for tho boys that
wight.
Following a Trail.
One of the most remarkable features
of uncivilized life is the power the sav
ages show of tracking men and beasts
over immense distances. Many trav
elers have spoken of this as something
aliuost miraculous, yet it is ofteu the
result of careful observation of wrll
known sigus; and we have here before
ua a collection of very common sense
hints on the subject. In countries like
ours every trace of foot-print or wheel
track on roads and paths is soon oblit
erated or hopelessly coufused ; but it
is otherwise in the wilderness, where
neither man uor beast can conceal his
track. In Kaffirland, when cattle arc
stolen, if their foot-prints are traced to
a village, the herdsman is held respon
sible for thorn, unless he can show the
same track going out. A wagon track
in a new country is practically indeli
ble. "More especially," says our au
thor, "this is the case if a fire sweeps
over tho plain immediately after, or if
a wagn passes during or after a prai
rie tire. We have known a fellow-
travc.er recoguize in thi3 manner the
tracks his wagon has made seven years
before, the lines of charred stumps
crushed short down remaining to indi
cate the passage of tho wheels, though
all other impressions had been oblite
rated by the rauk annual growth
of grass fully twelve feet high."
Somotime3 tho original soil beicg (lis-
luroeti, a new vegetation will spring
up along the' wagon track, ami thus
mark out tho road for miles. Even
on hard rock a man's bare foot will
leave tho dust caked together by per
spiration, so that a practiced eye will
see it ; and even if there is no track,
a stone will bo disturbed hero and
there, the side of the pebble which ha
long lain next the gtound being turned

Tho following is an extract .from a de
scription of Vilielaud, published in tho
New York Tribune, by the well-known
Agriculturist, Solon Hobiuson :
AU tho iUi mers were of tho "well to do"
sort, and some of thoni, who havo turned
their attention to fruits aud market gard
ening, havo grown ri.:h. The soil is loam,
vaiymg irom sandy to clayey, and surfa'-e
gently undulating, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which (leposts of pent or muck uro stored,
sullicicnt to fertilize tho whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of its
natural fertility.
It is certainly ono of the most extensive
fertile tracts, in nu almost level position,
and suitable condition for 'pleasant farm
ing, that wo know of this side of the West
ern prairies. We found somo of the old
est farms apparently just us profitably
productive as when iirst cleared of forest
fifty or a hundred years ago.
The geologist wo'uld soon discover tho
causo of this continued fertility. 'I'he
whole country is a marina deposit, ami all
tlirough tho boil we found evidences of
calcareous substances, generally in the
form of Indurated calcareous marl, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
of tho tertiary formation ; und this marly
substance is scattered all through the soil,
in a very comminuted forn', and in tho
exact condition most easily assimmilatod
by such plants a tho farm r desires to
only vat , fti
cuiiscmi;j-;fortho
