Morgan, of New York was oppointed and confirmed Secretary of the Treasury, Monda v last, No duels in Virginia up to date this week and consequently sad to relate no "amicable relations" have been restored. The "Bee Line" and all roads under its control have been consolidated into the "Ohio Railway Company." Vanderbilt is King of the consolidation. Hon. John C. New has been made President of the Financial Investment Company, of New York. He will however not give up his Indiana interests. Ex-Congressman Rainey is making an energetic canvass for the Clerkship of the House of Representatives, and his chances of success are regarded excellent. Cadet Whittaker is now the manager of a colored concert troupe. His first exhibition, which was quite successful, was given in Chickering Hall, N. Y., on the evening of the 20th. The Virginia election will doubtless be very close, but indications point to Readjuster success. The Bourbons are very mad, which indicates that they feel they are playing a loosing game. So mote it be. Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in-law, and counsel charges that the assassina tion of President Garfield is due to "atalwartism." In a few weeks he will be attributing Guiteau's death to over production of hemp. Simonj. Ministerial circles of the A. M. E, Church have been stirred from center to circumference by a letter recently published in the Christian Recorder by Rev. J. C. Embry, of Kansaa. In this letter Rev. Embry charges that the Bishops of the church are in the habit of selling the best appointments in the various conferences to the highest bidder. This is a very serious charge against the appointing power in the church, and unless the matter is thoroughly sifted and proven to be untrue, it will result in much harm to the reputation of the A. M. E. clergy. Rev. Embry is quite a prominent minister in the connection, having been educational agent and lately one of the delegates to the methodist Ecumenical at London; and his statements ought to be thoroughly investigated and disproven, if possible. The Kansas conference has already taken official notice of the accusation, by appointing a special committee consisting of the following ministers to investigate the charge: Revs. Harrod, Turner, Carter, Hubbard, and Braxton. . Cabinet Changes. Governor Morgan of New York, after having accepted the position of Secretary cf the Treasury, recalled his acceptance and positively declined to enter President Arthur's cabinet. Advanced age, poor health and business complications seem to have been the barier. Upon the positive declination, the name of Charles J. Folger, Judge of the Court of Appeals, of New York, was presented, and confirmed unanimously. As Judge Folger was in Washington at the time of his nomination, he personally accepted. The President is still urging McVeagh to remain until after the Star route prosecutions have ended. It is stated on good authority that the appointment of Howe, has been aban

doned, and in case McVeagh declines to remain any longer, Solicitor General Phillips will be temporarily appointed until next winter. Mr. Tyner has "resigned his position as First Assistant Post Master General, and Mr. Frank Hatton, of the Burlington Hawkey, appointed to succeed him.

Chicago Romance. Colored social circles, in a neighboring city have recently been stirred to their very lowest depths by a wedding incident, in which the wedding did not occur. The parties to the affair are well-known in this city and Detroit and the circumstances attending the unfortunate denoument are fraught with the usual pathetic coloring. For some months back a gentleman by the name of , having his residence in Chicago, has been making occasional journeys to this city, attracted here by the charms of one of Eve's fair daughters named Miss . In time they became engaged, and the wedding was set for the 7th inst. On the morning of that day the groom arrived in town and was met at the depot by one of the citizens who pressed him so earnestly to go home with him before he visited his intended bride, that Mr. consented. On arriving at the house, and after the usual introduction had been gone through, a little three-year old girl entered the room, bearing on her face the unmistakable marks of near relationship to the intended bride. Inquiry disclosed the fact that it was a daughter of Miss born out of wedlock, and which the family had raised from infancy, keeping inviolate the fall of the mother from the tongue of the scandalmonger. But now it seems that as the mother of the child was about to marry, the man at least, had consci?ntious scruples about keeping from the intended groom the true condition of affairs, hence the disclosure. We will pass over the astonishment of the groom , his sudden return to Chicago without once presenting himself at the house of his inamorata ; the chagrin of the almost bride, and the host of relatives and friends who waited the coming of the bridegroom with ever increasing anxiety But although "Bird, beast and flower Proclaimed the hour, Oh! where was County Guy." Finally it was whispered in the ear of some members of the family that the "cat was out of the bag" and the groom had come and erone. a sadder and a wiserraan. Then there was weeping and wailing and all that, with an indefinite postponement of the nuptials until the mists are cleared away. Conservator. Mattie Lawrence. in referring to a concert of the J ubilee Singers at Toronto last week The Globe of that city says: "The audience numbered somewhere about 1,800, and embraced the elite of Toronto society. The only other soloist of the evening was Miss Mattie Lawrence, whoe voice was a remarkably sweet soparno of great flexibility and purity. Her programme number, "Sing, Sweet Bird," was a perfect musical gem appropriately treated, and nothing could be more perfect than the coquettish style in which she sang, after her recall, the charming ballad, "Nothing else to do." Peoples Advocate. The Washington Sunday Item, in an article headed "President Arthur as a Party Leader," has this to sav of the new President; "The colored people of the country know the President. He has always been abrest of the sentiment of the country, so far as we are concerned. Those of us, who have met him personally have ever found him genial and approachable, with a warm interest in whatever concerns our permanent welfare. If we were to point out from a study of his character, what elements united in him to make a successful President, we should epitomize them by saying, he is first a gentleman by nature and training; next, he has a passive rather than an aggressive quality of mind; third his eye is on the future move; than the past, he knows the value of moving slowly and cautiously, he has always exibited rare tact, and coolness, he has the courage of his convictions, and has never felt the necessity of apologizing for being a straight out Republican, and what is rarer in the history of American politics, has never acted on the Clarendon of sacrificing ones friend to reward political enemies." The question needing a deffinite answer is, how can the colored race get in to power? We know no better way than the one practiced by blacksmiths who put fire into their iron by putting the iron into the fire. No race can get into power until they get power into themselves. A thoroughly trained head, heart and hands, constantly and harmoniously used and wisely directed are all important, and these will give us power to do and to obtain wealth and influence. Power will not perch upon our banners till we become united as a people, for numbers are as important on election days as brains, and it is the union of the masses that gives power to elect. Austin Citizen. E. J. Sanderlin will make an excellent Alderman in the Fourth ward, and we venture the assertion that he will be elected. He' is well qualified in every respect and should receive the entire support cf the colored voters. He is a gentleman of wealth and large business experience, and has never sought office, though he has lived in Denver for twenty years He has a large family of interesting children. We believe without exageration, .Mr. Sanderlin to be worth one hundred thonsand dollars. Denver Star. Mr. Sanderlin is a colored man. Ed. Mr. Wesley Redding seems to mean business in his case against the city of Atlanta for refusiug him admission to the city's excuse for a park. He has instituted suit for $20,000. There are three counts to the indictment. The first count holds the city liable for damages directly under the civil rights bill. The second count holds the city liable because of the trespass and detention of

person and restraint of liberty of which ne was deprived by reason of his race and color. The third count holds the city liable because the city failed to protect him in the enjoyment of his rights, privileges and immunities under the laws of the United States. We hope that Mr. Redding will stay where he is and "fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." His success in this case will make wholesome impressions in other quarters. Keep the ball rolling. Echo. Seven colored men and one white man were sent to the penitentiary from Woodford county last week. The white people, who are in the majority, must be wonderfully good, and the tew colored people wonderfully bad, or something must be wrong. We "will bet a cooky" that the one white man that was sent deserved to go; but we don't know about the colored man. Bulletin.

The Messrs. Bagby, of the Indianapolis Leader, have bought a new outfit of printing material, and are preparing to do their own comixsition. the Leader is the orgrn of the colored population of this city; is edited with ability and liberality of sentiment, aud is a decided credit "to its publishers and those who patronize it. Thhe People The statistics show that there are 740,000 colored Baptists in the South, and 700 of these are in the Baptist Colleges of the South, preparingfor the ministry. This not only shows the prosperity of the Baptist cause, but a healthful outlook for a much needed, educated ministry. The Goldsboro Enterprise says . of Isaac Forbes a colored citizen of Craven county, North Carolina, that he. has 1,200 acres of land, fifteen tenants on his farm, 1Ö0 acres of corn, 40 acres of cotton, Forbes was formerly a slave and started out with nothing at the end of the war.

Louisville wants a Postmaster, and there seems to be only one woman op posed to the change which is demanded by thousands. Ohio Falls Express. Dead at the Axe of One Hundred and Five Tears. Toronto Mail. It is saddening to hear from time to time that another of the links which connected us with that period in the history of Great Britain when she battled successfully for supremacy on land and ßea has been broken Major Ronan, a veteran of the Peninsular war ana Waterloo, died recently at. the little village of Gilford, County of Simcoe, having reached the ripe old age of 105 years. Major Timothy Konan served His Majesty King George ill. in the lorty -seventh Infantry Kegi ment, the same corps which lay in Toronto at the time of the reman Kaid In Iöuö, Most of his military life was passed in active service, for he was engaged in most of the sanguinary battles fought between the French and British in Spain during the years 1801) and 1811, and was privileeed to take part in the closing engagement at Waterloo. Althoueh it was Major Kenan's good fortune to die full of years, surrounded by the comforts which his own exertions had won for him, he did not escape unscathed from all the battlefields on which his courage and devotion to country had been tried. He was shot in the groin at the siege of Badajos, and carried the bullet in his body up to the time of his death. Again at Waterloo he was severely wounded. During the terrific charges which the French cavalry made on the British squares at the former engagement he was singled out for personal combat by an officer in the enemy's squadrons. The Frenchman charged furiously upon him, and with asinglesweep of his sabre severed the bridle lines of Konan's horse, with the object of having its rider at his mercy. But while Monsieur was so engaged, his intended victim ran a sword through his body. But Ronan had, by the cutting of the bridle lines, lost control "of his horse, and another Frenchman endeavored to take advantage of his predicament by also charging upon him. The British officer, however, adroitly fell over his horse, and slipping under the animal's body, managed to catch the second Frenchman in the nick of time, and by an upward sweep of his sword nearly decapitated him. But feats of strength and daring accomplished by Ronan on the eventful day would fill pages. He was severely wounded toward the close of the battle. Shortly before Blucher's arrival was announced a shell burst immediately over him, and a fragment fractured his skull. He was carried to the rear, and in the hospital the wound was silver trepanned. He wore the plate to the end of his life. Ronan cane to this country before the Rebellion of 1837-38, and took an active part in its suppression. Juab. Billings' Mayings.

Ha rtfoed City, Ind.. Oct. 24. This morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, burglars gained an entrance luto the jewelry store of Charles Clouser. They had gone to the blacksmith shop of Walter Craft and armed themselves with the necessary tools, with which they drilled Into the safe, and succeeded in blowing it open. They pocketed the contents, cousistlug of money, jewelry, and watches, amountiog to about $3,000. Our citizens were alarmed this evening about 6 o'clock by the vigorous riugtugol the fire bell on the new M. . Church. It appears that the Janitor went Into the cellar with a lighted läutern for the purpose of arranging the gas fixtures or the evening, when the escaping gasolnle caught fire from the lantern.

IX A TRAP. "Meet Me on the Bridge" The Young Lady Did, and So Did HI. Wire With a Cowhide. fCindnuaU Enquirer, Oct. 16. The crash of broken glass, the whirr of a blacksnake whip, as it cut the air and with a thud fell across the head and shoulders of a crouching man, and an excited woman, who dealt blow after blow upon the face of her victim, made up the scene that attracted considerable attention at the Twelfth Street Garden about half-past 7 o'ciock last even

ing. A few moments before that time a gentleman and lady entered the resort together. Almost before they had time to find seats, from the dark shadows over the street there appeared the figure of another woman. Regardless of the fact that no crossing was in sight, this new comer hurried through the mud, and wild a spring Irom the sidewalk she landed in the Garden door, which she hastily closed and then confronted the Dair. The man, with a hastily muttered exclama tion, turned to leave, but the woman was too quick for him, and, drawing an uglylooking whip which had been concealed in the folds o.' her dress, she gave him a stinging slash, vhich left its mark of ignominy across his "ace. With a liw-cry of pain and anger the man dashed at his assailant, but wi h blow after blow she kept him at bay, turning him finally to tne corner of the room, when, in the struggle, which had then become hand-to-band, the windows were knocked out. While ther were clinched a bystander rushed between them, and taking the whip from the Lands of the womau, he forced them apart, but not before the victim of the assault had left the imprint of his hands about the o her's throat. In a voiot half-choked the woman turned to the" one-who had interfered and said: "That man is a cousin of Governor Blackburn of Kentucky. He's my husband. He's been trying to ruin my daughter, and now I'm going t expose him." While she spoke the man threateningly bade her be silent, but she paid no attention to him. With his sympathies enlisted for the woman the wh'p was returned to her, and for several minutes she continued to flog the victim, who finally managed to escape through the door, which was opened to him. Down Twelfth street, over the canal to Central avenue, the chase was continued, but the man made good use of his legs, and he was soon lost to sight. The other principal in the exciting episode arranged ho-disci dered apparel and coolly marched to the Central Station, where she applied to Lieutenant Spaeth for a warrant for the arrest of the mtn ?he had just so thoroughly cowhided. "Meet m at Twelfth and Plum streets Saturday erening at half past 7 o'clock.' That was the substance of a little note that caused the whole of last night's ruction. G. E. Blackburn, a clerk of the M. and C. Depot, was the writer, and Miss Lillie Lee of Oliver street the young lady who received it, came straightway to Mrs. Blackburn, who resides a: No. 8 Linn street, and showed it to her. litre the ladies prepared the trap into which Mr. Blackburn fell. Miss Lillie met him at tte appointed time, and his wife was also' present, and she and her handy wmp joined '.he little party in a manner which her husband didn't relish. The wife's ciarge was rather a serious one to make in su'h a manner in public, and later in- the cening an Enquirer reporter C tiled at the Blackburn residence on Lynn street to get I little light on the matter. Mrs. Blackbun was not at home and Mr. BlacKburn hal not yet returned, and the daughter, wh opened the door, remarked that there was little likelihood of the latter coming around, because he and hermtther had had a little fuss during the evening. When questioned upon the charge that her mother had wade against her father, the girl, who i seventeen years of age, said: "He is net my father: he's only my stepfather. He never tried to ruin me, and he'd better not. There is my sister Alice, who is two years younger than I am; she could tell you more about it " But Miss Alice would not talk, and then the elder sister set all fears at rest by saying, "He didn't succeed." Mr. Blackburn was married to his present wife six years ago. She was then Mrs. Johnson, t widow with several .children. He was not seen after the whipping last evening. . LADIES' BUREAU. Indecision.

Our Friendless Girls. Chicago Tribune. Miss Jenn e Collins, a Boston lady, who for ten years has been engaged in providiug work and homes for friendless girls, recently issued a report showing the results attained by her effort. In the course of this report Miss Collins takes occasion to say that the worst thing she has had to contend with is the fact that the women of America seem to consider it their duty as well as privilege to continually find fault with servants. In this assumption Miss Collins is doubtless wholly wronj. The servant girls of this country are, in point of wages and general condition of life, far better situated than women of their class in any other part of the world, and yet, in return for high wages and exceptional liberties, they give a poorer service than the hired help of any other country. Miss Collins has also devoted some time tc an investigation of the causes of prostitutbn, and reaches the conclusion that the downfall of most members of this unfortunate class was caused, not by love of dress nr misplaced affection, but by cold, poverty or hunger; "and," adds Miss Collins in a burst of sarcasm, "a bundle of tracts furnishes about as much relief as the north wind." Girls, Don't Get Married. Girls, don't be in a hurry to get married. If you are but sixteen, don't allow such an idea to get into your head for at least four years. Don't even run the risk of it by permitting any young man to get as far as the proposing point. Fight him off. and make him wait or go away to somebody who is ready. Don't live under the impression that you must accept the first love-sick youth who proposes. Be patient, deliberate and sagacious. There is a world of happiness for you between sixteen and twenty. This world would be a dreary old waste if it w-re not for the sweet faces of young girls with their piquant savings and melting smiles. Your father has bought you a piano, an&. you have learned how to play after many long and wearisome lessons. Don't spoil all by getting married, for after that you won't have much use for your piano. After Vou have reached twenty, it would be well to consider the matrimonial problem with some seriousness. A Verv Uncommon Mania. Chambers' Journal. Burton, the traveler, tells us that a melancholy Duke of Muscovy fell ill if he but looked upon a woman, and that another anchorite was seized with a cold palsy under similar circumstances. Here is a case of a lady having an aversion to the opposite sex; it appeared in the obituary of a news paper some ntty years ago: 'Lately, at Gray's Alms Houses, Taunton, aged eightvtwo, Hannah Murton, a maiden lady. She vowed several years ago that no he-fellow should ever touch her living or dead. In pursuance of this resolution, about ten years since she purchased a coffin, in which, whenever she felt serious illness, she immediately deposited herself, thus securing the grati fication oi ner peculiar sensibility." There are many similar cases to this lady's on

record, though they are manifested in a more imperfect way. The Wife's Commandments. 1. Thou Shalt have no other wife but me. 2. Thou shalt not take into thy house any beautiful brazen image of a servant girl, to bow down to her and serve her, for I am a jealous wife, visiting, etc 3.

Boston Transcript Women's rights Husbands. When is a girl like a music book? When she is full of airs. An old maid, speaking of 'marriage, says it's like any other disease while there is life there is hope. In the coming season of weddings and holidays, it will be all the "rage" to give china plates as gifts. A toast Women: The last and best of the series. If we may have her for a toast we won't ask for any but-her. Her mother had remained at home, and she said very truly "there was nothing to mar the pleasure of the occasion." California boasts of a ten-year old girl who can hit ten-cent pieces and break glass balls all with her wonderful little rifle. "Will the coming man fly?" is the question, and the "Fat Contributor," thinks he will when the coming woman gets after him. "Always look on the bright side," says the Boston Transcript. When a lady is in the vicinity of a mirror she follows the advice to the letter. "An' that's the pillar of Hercules?" she said, adjusting her silver spectacles. "Gracious, what's the rest of his bed clothes like, I wonder?" A merry young woman "I understand that your courtship with Charley is at an end?" "Yes," said she; "Charley pressed his suit until it was threadbare, so I gave him the sack." New Haven Register. The widow of the former Peruvian Minister, Colonel Freyre, who has been living in Italy, has gone with her children to Bogota, South America. The var in Peru has deprived them of all their fortune. A young widow has married again. An old friend of the family reproaches her discreetly. "I am sure, my dear," he says gently, "that you have nbt chosen as wisely as you might have done. Had your poor dear husband only been alive he would never have let you make such a match." IiOndon Truth very pertinently says: "The best use to which a woman can be put is to be made the honest wife of some good man and the judicious mother of healthy children. All the art and learning that she can compass are not of so much value to the world as the example of a life passed quietly in the exercise of domestic duties and social righteousness, in the gift to the country of children who shall carry on the National traditions of courage and generosity, of unselfishness and virtue." The Love Mory of a Breakfast Cap. A jaunty breakfast cap, says Clara Belle, is quite too killing on a pretty head, and is

one of the mot dangerous adjuncts of coquetry. 1 knew an instance the past sutumer where a cleverly worn breakfast cap repaired what had threatened to prove fatal mischief A girl of very moderate natural pretentions to beauty, but mighty artful in dressing and adorning her hair was in love with a fine fellow, and was fast making him love her. She invited him to spend a week wtih her family in their seaside cottage, with the perfectly proper in tention of bringing him to the point of popping the matrimonial question. Well, after he had been there several days, was well-nigh captivated, he saw a sight that disenchanted him. The girl had washed her hair and taken a nap while it dried. While scooting through the hallway ehe met the young man face to face. Her hair was damp, matted close to her head and stran gling in thin disorder down her neck. It required a second look to recognize her. Whenever he had seen her before her hair was puffed, frizzled and banged in a raanoer that made her head shapely and attractive. Now the homeliness of her face was' unrelieved: all style had departed, and she looked commonplace to a shocking degree. She realized the disaster immediately, and came to my room with tears in her eyes. '"What ehall I do?!' she whimpered. "Finish the breakfast cap you are making," I said, "and wear it in your ablest manner at breakfast." She caught the idea and acted on it. At the breakfast-table she appeared in the most coquettish cap imaginable, poised at precisely the right angle on her artfullydressed hair. The fellow had said the evening before that he would go home the next day; but the breakrast cap restored the spell of enchantment, which had been temporarily dispelled, and before his visit was over he was engaged. I don't know what the effect will be when, as a husband, he sees the girl with her hair down his wife. I simply describe, as a chronicler of the fashions, the potency of a nice breakfast cap. Ihe Sunny fride of Home. I A. K. McClare.l Take the sunny side of home. The home is the sunniest side of every great people. Without devotion to home there can be no devotion to country. The home is the cradle of patriotism; it is the fountain of happiness not only to individuals, but to nations as well, and it is the one spot of earth that should be guarded from needless shadows. Enough must come to each, even when moat faithfully guarded by all the multiplied offices of love; but few there are who make their homes what they could or should be. It is only a few years since 1 visited a strange people away in the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains. They were then separated from civilization by a thousand miles 'of trackless plains and passes where the savage ruled. Towering cliffs walled them in from the outside world, but the lovely valley of Salt Lake bloomed with beauty and plenty. They cherished a religion that desecrated the sanctity of home; but while hearts corroded or sobbed within, the humblest home was gnarled with the richest of nature's offerings. The little adobe cottage was ever decked with green vines and fragrant flowers Neglect and delapidation were forbidden by the religion founded on lust and greed, and even when the harem banished all the sweet attributes of home, it was crowned with every attraction the country afforded. Green shade?, rich in blossoms in springtime and mellow with fruits in autumn, made every Mormon home appear as an oasis in the desert. I wUhed, indeed, that our boasted Christian civilizatna could learn from the deluded men and helpless women of Mormondom the lesson of beautifying home. Our religion makes the home one of its grandest altars, but how sadly we deform what is to many, and should be to all, the loveliest spot on earth. Iljrae and beauty should be inseparably linked together in the life of the humblest man and woman. It needs no wealth of gold or del. icacy of art to make home inviting and lovely. The God of nature is architect for the poor, and horny hands can plant the tree and shrub in the hour of grateful rest; and the child, schooled to the refining love of the beautiful, can train the simple flower to deck the little window in elegance that Solomon, in all his glory, could not

create. The lillies toil not, neither do they spin; but they humble the pride of the arrogant and pretending, by making matchless beauty the common heritage of all. Look around you in your great Commonwealth, and you will be amazed to learn how large a proportion of our homes are painful monuments of neglect. Many of these with rich farms around them, are less inviting than the barn where the ox is fattened or the crib where the harvest is stored. The horse, the cow and the pig must be thoughtfully sheltered, for tbey repay care with gold; but the wife and child are only beasts vf burden; and the cool shades of summer, the sun8hiae of winter, the sweet odor of the pretty flower, the health-giving relish of the luscious fruits, and the refinement that makes woman nobler and man better, are rejected by the ignorance, indolence, or greed which efface the line between man brute. Such a home wages perpetual warfare against every inspiration that would elevate men, women and children above the animals around them, and all the charms of the family circle are dissipated by the groveling plodder who weigts the jys of life in the scales of gain. Look at the repulsive home; what a blot upon humanity; what a mockery of God I There are worn and frowning mothers; there are smileless children; there are hopeless slaves; all taking the shortest and thorniest path to what tbey mot dread the grave; and when thy go hence they are lamented in their homes maiuiy or only as ihey dimini.-h the commercial valut- of the household. The home that is the shrine of the heart, may be the lowliest of the lowly, but it is beautiful in all its attributes, and it tempers the weariness of honest toil by its countless blessings, which all the wealth of an Actor or a Vanderbilt could not buy. Would you know how to distinguish it from the many which bear the semblance but have not the substance? Watch the pattering feet of children as they roam about in search of happiness; see where they ptuse to pour out their artless tribute in merry laugh and honest gratitude. They point to the sunny home as the needle points to the pole, and where they are unknown as welcome guests, there is no home. The home that has been made the sunny side of life never loses its bentficent influence over those it has sheltered in childhood, however they may be jch-tled by the rude vicissitudes of life. One of the most memorable reminiscences of California is told of the first great queen of song who appeared in San Francisco, among the restless men who gathered there thirty years ago. They had learned not to value life; they had become a law unto themselves that defied all the teachings of their youth; but when "Home Sweet Home" was sung, tears scalded the bronzed faces, and sobs welled up from hearts which had left sentiment behind them for adventure. Take the sunny side of home. It will be a wellspring of joy from the cradle to the tomb. An Old Story. When Davy Crockett was in Washington, he was one day sitting in a hotel toasting his shins, when a Senator from Massachusetts entered. Approaching the old frontiersman the latter said: 'Crockett, a large procession of your con stituents are marching up the street. You ought to go out and greet them." Crockett hurriedly arose and went out upon the hotel steps, when a large drove of mule? passing caught his eye. He quietly watched them until the last one had passed, and then returned to his seat by the stove. The Massachusetts Senator whs still there, and as the redoubtable Davy dropped into his chair, asked: "Well, did you see your friends?" "Oh yes," was the response "They look remarkably well, too." "Certainly, sir." "And where are they going in such a solid body?" Crockett turned to the Senator with a quiet, calm expression, and replied: "The blamed fools are all going down to Massachusetts to teach scho d." And they gazed a moment into each other's faces and sadly walked up to exercise the bar-keeper awhile. Orchard and Nursery. Trees planted this fall should have earth drawn up around them, making a mound twelve to fifteen inches in height. It should be of solid, clean earth, free from all sods, weeds, etc., or else it will furnish a winter home for mice. The mound thus made serves a double purpose of a support to tne young tree against the winds of winter, and prevents mice from gnawing the tree. Rabbits can do much harm to a young orchard. When the trees are few they can be protected by bands of cloth, or even tarred paper. These pests have a distaste for meat, and may be kept away from the trees by rubbing them with flesh or smearing the trunks with blood. Boys can catch many of them by trapping, and afford what is to many an acceptable variety 'or the table. If the weather remains mild and the ground open, trees may be still planted. South of the fortieth parallel planting maybe done during the greater part of the winter. Planting in the fall relieves the pressure of spring work. If the ground is frozen, rather than place the roots among frozen clods, it is better to heel in the trees until sprine. The labels upon the trees should be looked to. Never leave the labels on the trees that are placed there in the nursery. They are usually wired on tightly, and are only intended to identify the trees when received, and not for permanent use. Unless labels are well made and firmly fastened to the trees, they are soon lost. The old kind made of pine, and marked with a rather hard lead pencil upon a fresh coat of white lead paint is cheap and durable. Some prefer zinc strips. For orchards it is best to have a chart, with each tree and its kind recorded, and not trust at all to labels. Cions may be cut as soon as the leaves fall, packed in sawdust or sand and put in a cool cellar until needed for grafting. Care should be taken in selecting the cions, cutting them only from thrifty and healthy trees. It is better to buy cions than to use any poor

They are taken from the ground before it freezes, assorted, tied in bundles and then placed in boxes with the ! roots covered with soil and put in a cellar, j The seeds of trees for spring planting are : best preserved by mixing them with sand j and placing the boxes in a cool and dry ; place out of the way of the mice. The fences and gates of the orchard and nursery I should be in good order at all times, and , especially at this season, when a strav animai may get. in and do serious damage. Pronunciation of "U." rNew Y. rk Weekly RevUw. Some of our readers may thank us for calling attention to the following suggestions as to the pronunciation of "u:" Ninety-nine out of every hundred Northern! s will pay institoot instead of institute, dooty for c'utv a perfect rhyme to the word beauty. They will call new and news, noo t and n os and soon through the dozen and . . ... nundreds ot similar words. Not a dictionary in the Englith laneusgo authorizes thii. In student and 6tupid, the u" has the samo sound as in cupid. and should not be pronounced stoodent and stoopid, as so many teachers are in the habit of sounding them. It h a vulgarism to call a door a doah as we all admit is it not as much of a vulgarism to call a newspaper a nooppaper? One vulgarism is Northern and the other Southern, that's the only difference. When the L ndon Punch wishes to burlesque the pronunciations of servant8, it makes them call the duke the dook, the tutor the tooter, and a tube a toob.
