Seeing Her Oƒ.

Beenes like that described below are so frequent that the traveling public will recognize the picture. A young lady, itarting upon some short journey, is accompanied to the train by half a dozen of her feminine acquaintances and a young man or two who have come “to see her off." Ail come bustling into the car, and a very lively and interesting dialogue ensues. “Wish I was going with you." “I wish so, too." “I hope you’ll have a real good time 1" i “Oh, I’m sure i shall" “Have you got everything 7" “Yes, I guess so." “Is your trunk checked 7" “Yes.” “You'll write to me, sure 7” “Oh yes.” “And to me ? “Yes." “Give my love to the folks." “Yes I will" “And mine, too. What a lovely day for the trip I” “Isn’t it perfect ?’’ “Don’t you want the window up 7 “No, I guess not. Don’t forget to write often.’’ “No, I won’t, and you must do the same.” “Yes, I will.’’ “Wouldn’t it be a joke if we got carried off 7 “Wouldn’t it? Oh, there’s the bell! Come, girls, quick! Good-by, dear!” with a hiss. Here follows a hurried chorus of goodbys and kisses, at the conclusion of which the giddy creatures go chattering and ikurrying out to the platform. The travjller throws up her window, and they iay it all over again, screaming their “good-bys” bach and forth, and throwing kisses and fluttering handkerchiefs as loug as the train is in sight.

Can a Horse Speak?

The prosecutor in a horse-stealing case heard at the Surry Sessions recently declared that a colt, his property, of which he had been robbed “spoke to him like” when he found it again. Tressed for an explanation he said that the colt “whinaied” and that, added the prosecutor, “was speaking to me as plain as anyhing not a Christian could.” But can a hOrse smile as well as speak? There is i story of an over-inquisitive gentleman who asked a cabman whether he thought hat his horse preferred standing still on the rank or pulling.the cab, the driver, and the passenger about. “Well, sir,” replied cabby, “ithinks, on the 'ole, he'd , ra!her pull the cab. You see he reads the names orer the shop-winders, and hey makes him laugh,” A merry steed!

The Valet’s Evasive Answer.

An English nobleman a short timi Btnce was on a wedding tour in thi* country. His bride was much youngel than himself and very accomplished and attractive, and hence surrounded with 6 crowd of admirers at every place the* stopped. The nobleman cautioned hit valet to give evasive answers to any ques tions that might be put to him relating U himself and wife. Having stopped ovei night at one of the leading hotels the next morning he asked his valet if he had beer asked any questions. He replied: “Yes lots of them; among others thej asked if you were married.” "What answer did you give?” inquired the nobleman. “I told them you were not married, but were going to be in two weeks," wai the reply. What then transpired has not been re corded.

Wanted a New Assistant.

A short story comes down from a small lumber camp in Wisconsin, showing tht peculiar manner a Swede had of expressing himself. This Swede was the “boss' of a river gang, but, as the work was very light, the “gang” consisted of only one man, and he had what might be called e “soft snap.” One day the boss went ta the superintendent, and said he wanted another man. The official looked at him in wonder. “Another man,” he said, “why, you don’t hove half enough work for the men you have; what in the worlc do you want of another one ?” * ‘Dot mons,’ - replied the boss in a sober and matter of fact mauuer, “was went unter der loj apout vifdeen minutes pack und he vasn’l corned up yen I dinks he vas quit.”

Illinois correspondent states that Nperience has taught him that cattle wlfl thrive better on good, bright flax straw than on oat or wheat straw, and be never knew cattle to be injured from anting it. In selecting potato seed two thtngi should be kept in mind; first, plant only Such seed as may be expected to produce smooth, fair-sized potatoes; set* end, plant only when the seed is in full Vigor.— A. W. Cheever. ~ Basswood trees are urged for planting by the roadside, as they-eerve th# doable purpose of attractive shade and abundant forage for bees. They also make excellent timber whenever it becomes desirable to fell them. Onb of the best disinfectants, say* the Poultry Bulletm, is Candy’s fluid, which is made by putting one ounce of potass, permanganate in a pint of cold water. For use, one ounce of this fluid ■honld be added to half apint of water. The cause of club-root in cabbage is claimed by a German experimenter, Woronin, to be a parasitic vegetable, which lives and feeds on Hie healthy tissue of different cruciferous plants. All weeds of that order (producing pods, like turnips, mustard, radish, etc.) should be eradicated while land is being rested preparatory to a renewal of cabbage-growing. The Indiana Farmer says the Ben Davis apple is so poorly flavored that even the coddlingwnotli generally passes it by for some better variety, and the •onsequence is that but few of these apples are wormy, and, being of high •olor and handsome shape, they are a very popular- apple at the city fruit stands, where they outsell other kinds about two to one on the average. Trefoil is said to be extensively Used in England for alternate husbandly, but it is reported not suitable foi permanent pasture mixtures, except it very small quantities. A writer state* that thfa plant is well deserving of cultivation on light, dry and high, elevated inferior soils, and on such will yield a greater bulk of herbage than any of the cultivated clovers. It is highly nutritious, and eaten with avidity by cattle, From the great depths to which it# roots penetrate, it is not liable to be injured l>y drought, and is thereby enabled to retain its verdure after the grassei and other plants are burnt up, a fad worthy of notice by Western farmer*.

An Accident.

Mr. De Prig (of Boston In a Dakota Hold) —“Walter what caused the e* plosion just now at the other end of the dining-room? Was somebody shot 7“ Waiter —“Oh, no, sir. We don’t allow shooting in the dining-room. The cook was a little careless and let a car'tridge from his revolver fall in the soup, and the gent who was just carried out happened to crush It between hit teeth."

All desiring to move South. are invited to investigate FLOR ENCE, ALABAMA. In the selection of a business location, a pleasant home is also desirable, and in no place will the intending settler meet with a more cordial welcome than is offered by the enterprising citizens of Florence, Alabama, and Lauderdale county. The soil is diversified and yields readily, as is shown by the variety and quick growth of crops, consisting of cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat, oafs, sugar cane, Iso apples, peaches and grapes. Florence excels in beauty of location, being situated on the gently rolling plateau banks of the Tennessee River —navigable for the largest class of steamboats. The records £how singular exemption from malarial diseases,and the mild temperature, pure air and water make it a desirable resort, both summer and winter, from the extreme heat of the South ond the rigorous cold of the Noith. Aside from this it is on the basal line of the new iron and coal discoveries, and with abundant water-power supply, favorable transportation facilities, by rail and pa- ket, and by virtue of close proximity to valuable ores not found in other localities, Florence is destined to become the metropolis of the State, and will necessarily concentrate the bulk of industries in this region. The country north of Florence is covered with a primeval gro vth of imm.- nse poplar, white oaks, maple, hickory, pine, and walnut trees, and within a few miles large quarries of beautiful marble r re found. Building stone and limestone abound all over the ccuntv. The erection of the finest college building in the South was commenced May 13th, and at this time there are over 250 houses i i course of erection. For excursion rates and full particulars address,
