He seemed to bare acmeabmg on his moid. He took off his hat and set it on the floor, and got oat of it a red silk handkerchief and m copy of oar paper. He pat the paper on his lap, and, while he polished his apeetaeles with, his hwi kerchief, he said: "Are you the new editor?" Iiiaidlwaii. "Have you ever edited aa agricultural paper before?" ".So," I said ; "this ia my first & tern." " Very likely- Have ;?ou had. any exptnence in agriculture, practieally ? " No, I believe I have not" " Some instinct told me so," said the old gentienian, putting aa bis spectaeles ssd iKidng over thein at me with asperity, while he folded his paper into a convenient shape. "I wish to read you what most have made me have thai nsfinct, ti was this editorial: Iasten, and see if it was you that wrote it : - ' ' Tumi slxxild never be pulled it iariuea theri.

The pumpkin is the only esculent-of the crangB-itunily that will thrive in the North, except the gourd and one or two varieties of the squash. But the custom of planting it in the front yard with the shrubbery is fast going out of vogue, for it is now generally conceded that the' pumpkin as a shade tree ia a failure. "Now, as the warm weather approaches, and the ganders begin to spawn" The excited listener sprang toward me, to shake hand?, and said : "There, there that will do! X know I am all right now, because you have read it just as I did, word for word. But, stranger, when I first read it this morning I said to myself I never, never believed it before, notwithstanding my friends kept me under watch so strict, but now I believe I am crazy, and with that I fetched a howl that you might have heard two miles, and started out to kilt somebody, because, yon know, I knew it would come to that sooner or later, and so X might as well begin. I read one of those paragraphs over and over again, so as to be certain, and then I burned my house down and started. "X have crippled several people, and have got one fellow up a tree, where I can get him if I want him. Bnt I thought I would call in here as I went along, and make the thing perfectly certain ; and now it is certain, and I tell yon it is loeky for the chap in the tree. I should have killed him, sure, as I went back. Good-by, sir ; good-by. Ton have taken a great load off my mind. My reason has stood the strain of one of your agricultural articles, and I know thai nothing can. ever unseat it now. Good-by,-sir.'' I felt a little uncomfortable about the cripplings and arsons this person had been entertaining himself with, for I could not help feeling remotely accessory to them; but these thoughts were quickly banished, for the regular editor walked in I I thought to myself, "Now if you had gone to Egypt, as I recommended you, I might have had a chance to get my hand in, but you would not do it, and here you are. I sort of expected you."l The editor was looking sad and per

True, there sever was such a call for the paper before, and it never sold such a large edition, or soared to such celebrity ; but does one want to be famous for lunacy, or prosper upon the infirmities of las mind? My friend, as X am an honest man, the street out here is full of people, and others are roosting on the fences, waiting to get a glimpse at you, because they tnink you are crazy. And well they might, after reading your editorials. Why, what put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature? You do not seem to know the first rudiments of agriculture. You speak cf farrow and harrow as being the same thing ; you talk of the moulting season for cows, and you recommend the domestication of the polecat on account of its playfulness and its excellence as a ratter. " Tour remark that clams will lie quiet if music be played to them was superfluous entirely superfluous. Nothing disturbs clams. Clams always lie qtnet. Clams eare nothing whatever about music. Ah, heavens and earth, friend, if you had made the acquiring of ignorance the study of your lifo you could not have graduated with higher honor than you could to-day. Tour observation that the horse chestnut, as su article of commerce, is steadily gaining in favor, is simply calculated to destroy this journal. I want yon to throw up yoor situation and go. I want so more holiday I could not enjoy it if I had it Certainly not with you in the chair. I would always stand in dread of what yon might be going to recommend next. It makes me lose all patience every time I think of your discussing oyster beds under the head of ' .Landscape Gardening.' X want you to go. Nothing on earth could persuade me to take another holiday. O, why didn't you tell me you didn't know anything about agriculture?" "Tell you. yon cornstidk, you cabbage, you son of a eauliflonrer ! . It's the first time I ever heard such' an unfeeling remark. I tell you I have been' in the editorial business going on fourteen years, and it is the first, time I ever heard of a man's having to know anything in order to edit a newspaper. You turnip ! Who write the dramatic critiques for the second-rate papers ? "Why, a parcel of promoted shoemakers and apprentice apothecaries, who know just as much about good acting I do e.bout good farming, and no more. Whoreview the books? People who never wrote one. Who do up the leaders on finance? Parties who have had the largest opportunities for. knowing nothing about if Who criticise the Indian campaigns? Gentlemen who do not know a war-whoop from a wigwam, and who never had to run a foot race with a tomahawk or pluck arrows out of the several members of then families to build the. evening camp fire with! Who write the temperance appeals and clamor about the flowing bowl? Folks who will never draw another sober breath till they do it in the grave. Who edit the agricultural papers, you jraja? Men, as a general thing, who fail in the poetry line, yellow-covered novel line, sensation line, esty editor line, and finally fall hack on agriculture as a temporary reprieve from the poor-house. "Ton try to tell me anything about the ttewspaper business ! Sir, I have been through it from Alpha to Omega, and tell you that the loss a man knows the larger noise he makes and the higher the salary he commands. Heaven knows if I had been but ignorant instead of cultivated, and impudent instead of diffident, I could' have made a name for mvsflf in this cold, selfish world. I take my leave, sir ! Since I have boon treated as you have treated me, I am perfectly willing to go. But I have doue my duty. I have fulfilled my contract, as far as I was permitted to do it I said I could make your paper of interest to a'l eiasMft, and I have. I said I could run your circulation up to twenty thousand c opii. and if I had had two more weeks I'd have done it And I'd have given yon the best dare of readers that ever un agricultural papei had not a. former in it, nor a solitary individnal who could tell a watermelon from a peach vine to save his lite.

The Flood in the Lower Mississippi. Memphis, March S. News reaches hereof terrible destruction of properly by the breaking of the levee at Carson's Landing, La. A gap of aeventy-fivo feet was first made by the rushing water, and 100 yard of the levee were soon swept away. The noise of the roaring flood awoke tho sleeping cit Kfn, t-'Iio, looking ont of their homes, saw be rivor rapidly spreading over the country. Without taking time to clothe Ihomselvoa, the people fled toi their lives. Four persons were overwhelmed by the rushing waters and drowned. Their cries for help were heartrending. Jinny people had narrow escapes. Cytbo broking of the levee a few miles above Greenville, Miie., the whole of Bolirar county, Miss., is inundated. Great loss of property, and, worse still, iosti of life has resulted. Bosedale. the comity seat of Bolivar comity, is raoro than six feet underwater. Advices from Riverton, Miss., 10 miles son th of here, report a fearful destruction of property and some lots of life. Tbo stock is all drowned, and there are no provisions for poor people to subsist on. Tho village of Riverton has been entirely swept away, and tbo iiiliatilaulr are homeless and penniless. Steamboats now ran through the streets at Indian Bay, Arkansas. The water at New Orleans is greatly higher than the average level of tho city. Arkansas City, Ark., is from six inches to four feet undi r water. Ibe poor inhabitants depend on Government rations. The damage to the Memphis-and Little Rock road by floods is estimated at 500,000. Refugees are flocking to Memphis by hundreds. Tho Commissioners io ciialiibnto radons for Arkansas and Mississippi are on hand, and supplies have already gone forward to Riverton, Concordia and Bolcn. SlEHpnts, Starch 6. Reports rooeived from the flooded districts in

Eastern Arkansas are ct the most disheartenins character. The damage is much greater than first announced. Refugees from Desha j and Cbirch comities givo grspiiii and thrilling . ncromits of the floods which drove them from their hoims. Ono man says ho wa awakened r.t midtfght by a roaring sound, and aroused his wife and three children nuder ihe imnres-

sion that a cyclone was sweeping across the plantation. Bonis minutes later the honso was swept fiom its foundation, and it floated off on a sea of water. The wreck was almost UHlantaneons, a ud the occupants of th3 dwelling could not realize the situation nutil they were forced to seclt shelter on the roof. They were rescued the noxt morning. Many incidents of a similar nature are related. The Governor of Arkansas says the number of persons requiring asssintance io that S ato alone will reach 13,000. The Governor of Missouri telograptd the Secretary of War to increase tho rations ordered for tho flood sufferers. Secretary Lincoln replied tbat e'gbt days' supplies had already gone forward to the iuunda ed portion of Missouri, and that the Arkamaa CommiwionerH ask IS, 000 rations for forty days, which will (xccd the appropriation. Eight army officers will be dotailod to investigate the needs of the people, and it is thought that 400,000 will bo required. Congress is to be asked to furnish lho poor with seedcorn. Accomris of the floods along the lower Mississippi country grow gloomier aa iho days go by. Whole towns have been swept away by tho angry waters, plantations destroyed and immense stretch ea of fortile country in Arkansas and Hii-gutippi inundated. Tha destniatioo of property has been apjiKllimr, and f annuo threatens tho iiufortunvw notunu of tiio uv(rflow. A dispatch from liivurtun, Miss,, ya that when tho omront iitruek that town il was impossible to pull a boat through, and the people took sbeltor upon tho housetop and upon flouting pieces of fencos, aides of buildings, eta It was about an hou r before Roaodalo was flooded, and tho pooplo there hud time to savo some of their clothing asd tho must valuable of their light poMonal property. As Boon as possiblo the ladies and children were removed to I he wharf-boat at Terrene, where a" tcnHirnry shelter was found, tho men staying by their property and homes, seeing all they possugited swept way by the torrent of angry wat rs. TiM. vclored people fared tbo worst, and many wen: lost in the immediate vicinity of Kivruon. Hou. L. H. Hangmn, of Arkansas, in an interview with an Associated Press reporter at Memphis, said that in lho counties of Mississippi, CrUtoiiieu, Iax, Pomsett, Cress, Craighead, Bt. Francis, l'hillips, Desha, Chicot and Monroe, in Arnaiwm, be had information of about 20,000 destitute people, who would have to be fed by the Govt-rn-ment for at least forty days.

Tha town of Austin, Miss., between Memphis and Helena, has 'wen almost entirely destroyed. Hon. M. 0. Harris, who was sent to Dost a oounty, Ark., by Gov. Churchill to aid in distributing supplies to persons rendered destitute by tho overflow, reports that the suffering sad jestitufcton is beyond description. Scarcely a farm-house or residence in tbe bottom has escaped inundation. Tbe people have been compelled -.to build tlt)e floors in their houses or seek safety on some of the higher lands, where, in rudely constructed - t camp of , . trnsh bonghs and cane, tbey sit and wait' for starvation and death, It w appalling, and without Government aid, Uberaflj and quickly hastened, there is notching where it wiil end.

Tho first ono ia dated Bnlen, mojujU of the Lena, Nov. 8, 1884. There is added a postscript dated at Yakoulsk, Bee. 17. The trip np ihe river from Bultn to Yatontsk occupied thiity-six days, and was made on sledges with dogs, reindeer and horses. Lieut. Danenhower desoribes the journey as ono full of hardships. . There were stations at intervals on tho way. constructed of los-s. He describes

the last onti of these, seventeen . milea. from Yakontsk, the ben of tbe lot, a a small log building with t cowshed attached. It was composed of one room, m which were a'bout twenty peoule when his party arrived. Ia tho center was" the body of a horse, killed for food, and brought into the room to thaw out During the night tbe party stopped at ibis hut Jack Cole, tbe boatswain, while laboring under aberration of mind, got up and started out to walk to New York to see his nife. The thermometer was 60 degrees telow zero. It required all Lieut Danenhower'g persuasive powers to induce him to como back into the nut At Yakontsk Lieut Danenhower says he found a man who underst Kd French, and was tiken to the Governor, who treated him with :reat kindness and considc-ation. He detailed a Lieutenant, with instructions to give the wants of the party special attention. They were qriartcred at a small hotel, conducted on the American plan. Lieut Danenhower speaks of his stay in Yakontsk an exceedingly pleasant and comfortable under the circumstances, Dec. 24 the Governor seat an officer to Lieut. Danenhower to ask him at what time the Christmas festivities usually began in America, and when informed that it was usual to commence Christmas evening be sent his sleigh for the paity to come to his residence for supper and spend the evening. Iu speaking of the terrible voyage of tho party, Lieut Danenhower says they had to travel 700 miles over ice from the ship to the meuth of tns Lena. The;' landed in shoal water, and were compelled to wnde two miles to land. They were forced to travel 100 miles further beforo tbey reached shelter, and he says he was up five lays an! four nights without sleep or rest He mentionu tho fact that, ont of thirty-three comprising the crew and officers of the Jean, nette, only thirteen are known to be living and one is knov.ii to be dead, . .

the irrepressible conflict between lilxi- f

luers ana (aiiors, particularly in x ranee, on the s-ibject of measuring copy. Dumas, La Martin, and a dozen other writers arc credited with inventing the monosyllable paragraph, and Buloz and many, another editor with devising tbe plan of paying by letter to head them off. The editor of .a New York weekly may be credited with snot less iqgenius idea when he scoured tho services of a female writer much in vogue at a liberal sum per eolure n of nonpareil type, and set up her articles in long primer, announcing that they cost bun so much per coluivta. When I'onnon du' Terrail, however, was running one cf his " Xlestirrfletions of Rocambole" through the Petit Journal, Polydore Millaud, the editor, sent for him one fine day, and said to him firmly, though kindly : "hEeohure, my dear fellow, I pay yon very liberally, bu -it is rather an imposition on good riaturo to run in such stuff as thhr when you are paid by tho line, and if yo-i keep it up I'll have to pay you by tho lette."and he pointed to the last issue of tho paper, where tbewiZliton began as follows : "Who?''

ENGLISH'S INTERVIEW, How Indian!! Was Loat (u Ilnncoth Sclfiah Treatitarv Hendricks The Drinecrot Had Five . Yiiiica .VI ore Money ibim Tbey Hcciled-Jay Could Contributed B 1 0,000 lo the Democratic Corrupt iiua l''nt, tNow York Cor. Clilcago Tribnnt.l 1 have read the interview with Mr, William H. English, of Indiana, published a few days ago in the Cincinnati Enquirer, professing to give the real rvasoris of the Democratic defeat in his Stato at the elections in 1830. Ho explains why a coalition was not formed with the Greenbsckers to re elect the Rev. De La Matyr, fiatist, to Congress, and lays the bulk of the blame of defeat on Hendricks for influencing a majority of the Democratic; Judges of the 8upromo Court to overthrow the amendments which the pooplo hud made to the Stato constitution, in jrdev to koep Indiana as an October State, and thereby make himself an indispensable candidate for President at the Cincinnati Democratic Convention,, as the only man who could carry it. .-Let nte quote a littlo from his "lick" at Hendricks, who in.fluenced tbe court to deciilu as it did : "I was never confident of success after the decision of the Democratic Supreme Court overthrowing the amendments to the State constitution, tbe effect of which, among other things, was to bring on the Stato election in October, instead of deferringit until the time of holding the Presidential election in November. This unfortunate decision was made a short time before the Cincinnati Convention ; but a motion for a rehearing had been entered, and sixty days given for its consideration. So there was ample time, if a reversal could have been gectired, to have avoided the Ootober election, aud the injurious efteot of the ori ginal decision, which, it will beremmebered, had been made by a vote' of three Judges against two, and the tenure of one of tbe three had bnt a few months to run. : I had a hope that one of the three Judges could bo induced to resign, or that in some legitimate way the decision could be reversed oa the rehearing. The party was committed to the decision ; it was affirmed on rehearing ; and thus the Democrats of Indiana were forced to fight a preliminary but decunvo battle in October with what was in effect the whole Republican party of the United States.. " It wa-4 risking ail on an uncertain battle, which ought not to have been fought at all. If our State election had been on the same day as the Presidential election. Republican men and money of other States would haio been needed at home, and would have tieen kept at homo, ami uot seut into Indiana to carry tho October election, as they did d ; from the very necessities of the case." Alter thus putting the knife into H.'iidric ks, Billy guts down to the question of v.'aya aud means, so importmt from the politician's istiimlpoiiit. II j admits that his party "bar'i," which was rolled about the State where it would J 'he most good, was a big one bigger iivo times tnan it need to lit i hug, head iu fact, filled with cash, from which needy and greedy Democrats could draw their fill. This is what he says on the subject of finonc-Rs. Tbn iiiterviower asked :

" But, Mr, Bngftshf how was it on the subject of jnorjey?" E. " Well, sir, the misrepresentation upon that subject has been even greater. More money was used by tho Democrats in the Indiana campaign of 1880 than was ever used in any previous canvass. More wo used by tho National Committee, more by the State Committee, more by tho Democratic; candidate for Governor, and moro by tho party generally," The money used on the day of election and n few days beforo came from abroai'. almost entirely through tho National Committee, a'n'd was disbursed among the counties by the 'Chairman of tho Nntii 'Hal Committee, ae ho hud done in 1876, aud at the same period before the election. " The National Committee did all in ibis matter nuvbody had a right to "xpect. Ba did the State Committee, and, iu the main, so did the candidates. I ccnld make an approximately correct yt.itemolit of the amount disbursed by tuo D 'moonits in the canvass, how it was distributed, and into whose hands it primarily went If I did so (and I may if it becomes necessary), it would astonish a great many people, and would show conclusively . hat there was no lack of motiey to prosecute a legitimate t-am-pnign iu the moj, vigorous and effective ni!iiiner. My own judgment now is, that it was largely in excess of what was iiectW, and .fire time more than I should recommend iho Democrats to i also iu any cajapa.i0, jjereufter. " The Democrats were forced to meet tho concentrated effort and raeano of the whole Republican party of the United States in tho unwise and unnecessary fight in Oetolwr ; they had to encounter tbe united influence and election machinery of the Federal Government; they had to encounter the opposition of great manufactories, railroads, banks a'id moneyed copulations ; and had' to coiirond with -an enormous corruption fund drawn from these sources, and from tho plundor of stfir-ronte and other treasury thieves. Thin wonld seem to be enough, but in addition the country was just then comparatively prosperous under Republican rule, and a great many workmen and others who were doing reasonably well (especially those in manufacturing district!) had a vague four that a change might not bo to their interests, aud bo voted the Republican ticket under the idea that it was best to let well enough alone. Beside, Indiana was constantly flooded by an enormous isaue of able' and zealous Republican newKpapers from Chicago, Cincinnati and elsewhere, and there were not Democratic papers enough to counteract, their influence, and sooi'e did not evec. try." Such is a summary of English's throe columns of reasons to account for tho two defeats of his -party- October and November in Indiana. It will ba seen that he admits that the Democratic party inauugors were furnished with abundance of "corruption funds." He says they had five times moro money than they needed. Ho intimates that railroads and moneyed corporations subscribed to the Republioan f nuds ; but ho is careful to tell nothing about railroad suliscriptions to tho hngi Democratic corruption fund. Mr. Kuglitdi withholds tho interesting pioiio of information that Jay Gould, tho boss railroad monopolist, gavo 110,000 to tho " corruption fund" to carry Indiana for Hanv-ock, Your readers may oak. How do I know that to be so? Well, I herewith send yon a copy of a plain narrative of the facts, ob

tained from a gentleman who was pros ent at the interview between Jay Gould and Gen. Hancock, and who authorizes its publication, although I am not' at liberty to make public his name at present. The statem-int is as follows : "Tho New York World being the leading Democratic paper, its editor, Mr. Hurlbut, was ia constant communication with tUo Democratic nominee, Gen. Hancock. It was not until quite late in tbo canvass of 10M0 that Air. Gould appeared to take any intervst in the Democratic side of the qnestion. Just prior to tho October election Mr. Hurl but told Gen. Hancock that Mr. Gould desired to lmve an iuterview witu liim in relerenee to the canvass and with a view to furthering the interests of the Democratic candidate. The interview was held at Governor's Island in tlio evening, and occupied several hours Mr. Gould uoing over for that purpose with Mr. Hurlbut The tuihjoet .of tho probable result in Indiana was especially under consideration; aud the 'result of the conference was that Mr. Gould proposed to send money to Indiana for tho purpose, if necessary, of iiiflusncing the result tliorc in favor of the Democratic candida te. Mr. Hurlbut agreed to go to Indianiipo'is in person aud take the money with him. The stun which Mr. Gould .vas willing to use toe that purpo e was about w10,000. Mr. Hurlbut did go to Indiana just a day or two beforo tho election, and was there during the election. The result, of course, is well known to have been unfavorable to the Democratic side; but whether Mr, Hurlbut used the money in the canvass is not known." This is where a part of the Democratic campaign fundis como from, Mr. English was Chairman of the Indiana Democratic Campaign Committee, and undoubtedly had Gould's 910,000 paid into his hands, deposited it in his own bank and disbursed it in a way that ho thought would contribute most toward the election of Hancock and English. Probably it was delicacy on his part that prevented him, from making public this donation to tho Democratic. ' corruption fund ;" and he may feel grateful to me for doidar it for him." Tho New. York World; i6 will be borne in mind, is Mr. Gould's personal property. He is the sole owner, with the pcssible exception of a' few shares held by others ; and Mr. Hurlbut is his hired editor. If the Cincinnati Enquirer wishes to complete and perfect the English narrative, it will not fail to copy the foregoing addition to the Reoobd. The Wooing of Sleep. An endeavor to go to sleep is a mistake. For example, when the will makes an effort to dull the ear, the mental sense liehiud the sense organ is thrown into a ooudition of listening and tension. The power of hearing is not diminished, but, as. it were, restricted in its range and iu its heightened sensibility as the vitiratile Capacity of a musical reed may lie raised by reducing the length of tlio fiber along which its vibrations are propagated; Noises that wonld not previously have been noticed are perceived, aud 'become sources of aunoyance. Th s intensifying of the sensations in the attempt to go to steep, of which most persons are oonsoions, is doubtless partly due to the quiet that prevails in the house aud bed-chamber; but thera is a'so a i increase of the susceptibility of tbo psreeptive faculty, frequently to such un extent that the ticking of a watch or the tapping of an insect behind the wall-paper will not only be heard, but bs actually painful. So it is with sight; when the eyelids are closed the iuner-raental sense of vision becomes increasingly acute, and tho field of sight ia soon crowded with grotesque and rapidly changing images. The worrying effect of this phantasmagoria is a too familiar experience of the sleep waiter. All tins mental senscR aro in like manner stimulated and thoiraouteneis intensified by thd endeavor to lower the sensibility of the sense organs. The mental sense of smell may bo rendered so keen that the soarcely perceptible odor of bedlinen will prove offensive. Taste may be so stimulated thai the natural moisture of the mouth becomes loathsome. General sensation may be so intensified

that a rough thread in a sheet, or a little stream cf cold air finding its way under

the coverlet will oocuawi the

irritating experience. In short, the whole process of attempted eeuse-sub-duing is unnatural aud opioed to the dictates of reason. No su.di ffort might to be made. External qmet shou'id be secured, if quiet be personally agreeable, and whether light or darku ss be preferable must depend on the idiosyticiasy. No control ought to be ex 'lvised over the) souses. The eyelids simu'd not be closed, but allowed to droop when weary. There should bo no resolutions lo disregard sounds, or to suppress sensations of any kind. The surroundings lxnng propitious aud consonant w.th tho "feelings," or, still bitter, disregard, mind and 'sody should bo left to take their chance of Bleep, without the strivinp wbioh, iu truth, is the priac-pal cause of

wake:ulne8.

pens that persons who cau not sleep in lied by night will drop off to sleep readily in aohnir by day. It is the effort to sleep that keeps off slumbtr, and when there is no effort sleep cuiues naturally. Jf tho endeavor to sleep is made, as soon lis it iiommeiices expectancy begins, and, paradoxical ns' it may seem, the cousciousntss is actually kept awake to watch for sleep! The watchfulness, arising out of the eagerness of tins Josire for sleep aud tho intensity of the effort made to woo it, throws the mind into a state of tensive aiiricipntitui incompatible with soinuolenoe. Then comes the pericd of restless and irritateddinsppoiotnuuit, in which tho mind is so voxe l, the brain bo oswitfl.1, and the opanisni. ns a whole, thrown into snob a sfnie of irritability that the best thins to do i to rise and ' take a bath, or wash from head to feet, with tlio double purpose of allaying tho' excitement and inducing a more peaceful mood by physical exercise.

Lively Time on the Ballrmu. Some people seem born wiiih a faculty of raising the ancient manoulme juvenile. They get folks who are minding their own business and merely want peace and quiet, into all sorts of scrapes. The faculty is peculiarly developed' in the commercial tourist usually referred to ns a

I drummer. He's the man who makes

love to all tho pretty servant girlf; in the hotels and gets their notions ito high that they won't notice the porters, and it mates the latter want to "bIua" the drummers. Oue of this class of gentlemen was nt an up-country railway station and discovered, while waiting for a train, a wasp's nest An idea at once struck him. How he achieved the feat without getting hurt we don't know. Probably the wasps were dormant witti cold. But at any rate, he got that nest down and tied it to the tail of a large yellow dog that was fooling round the depot. The dog started to run and that so stirred np the wasps that they sent a courier out to investigate, and as' he did so in a manner so disagreeable to the dog that lie only ran the harder and mafia threei wild circuits cf the depot. The train meanwhile came in, and aa trains don't stop at country stations, it was just starting as tho dog camo round the third tune. Wild with pain, the dog leaped aboard tho train and plunged into a crowded oar, just as the brakeman shut the door. Tho poor brute got beneath a seat and tried to curl up. The car was hot and it wound up the wasps and they came out and in about half a minute tin men in that scat jumped Up so hard they nearly stove holes in tbe roof, and the way they clawed at their legs was a caution. Everybody leoked. Then others became interested. Aud tho dog started on the run through the car. Tae wasps went for him; and everybody o tie car. A wild scene took place. Men cursed and clawed wildly. Women got up on tho seats and danced an I the dog, which everybody thonght to be mad, tore np and down the aisle, howling. The conductor came ia, thinking the people insane. He promptly joined the show. As the' 'train was flying, folks couldn't jumb off. No mad-house ever saw such a scene. Taere was profanity enough to sink a ship, and the brakomau gazing in at the door said it b.;at anything ho ever saw in a variety show. Finally' tho conductor stopped the train, folks got out, aud the car was cleared of wasps and dog. Bnt the- passengers didn't gee over it They were fin awful, mad set, and occasionally after they got' started again a man would lind a stray wasp in his trousers and use and yell. They talked of suing tho railroad, aud if they cou'd havo got that drummer his death would have been frightful. But he had gone on n train the ether way. Boston Post.

Trailing. One of the most remarkable features of uncivilized life is the powor savages show of tracking men and beasta over immense distances. Many travelers have spoken of this as something almost mirneuious, yet it is only the result of careful observation of certain v,ell-known signs ; and we have hero before us a collection of "very-oommon-sensi hints on tho subject In oountrks lik e our every trace or foot-print or wheol-traek on roads or paths is soon obliterated or hopelessl.y confused ; but it is otherwise in the wilderness, where neither man nor beast can"'" couceel bisi track.
