The miners who are retimbering the Con sol ids ted Virginia shaft can work- only a few minutes at a time, and to do this are obliged to use immense quantities of ice. They not only swallow ice water by the gallon, but also Donr it over each other by bucketsful. With out ice nothing could be done in the heated lower levels of ou r mines. When work wai first commenced on the Comstock, ice was the last thing any one would have thought of as necessary for mining, tmd not a few looked upon tbe furnishing of ice water to miners as a bit of extravagance. Many stockholders thought it was a luxury that might be with held without mnch inconvenience to any one: but as the heat Increased it. soon be came apparent that ice was a prime necessi ty. Without ice tea drinking water would soon attain a temperature equal to that of the air from 110 to 130 degrees and men can not be expected to swallow water that Is almost boiling hot. Rare Presence of Mlmt. fNewburyport (Mass.) Herald. v A gentleman at Scarboro', after waving his handkerchief for half an hour or more at an unknown young lady whom be discovered at a distant point on the shore, was encouraged by a warm response to his signal to approach his charmer. Imagine his feelings, when, on drawing nearer, he found that it was his own dear wife, whom be had left at tbe hotel but a short time before. "Why, how remarkable that we should have recognized each other at such a distance!" exclaimed both in the earue breath, and then they changed the subject.

THE FARM. Praine Farmer: Snakes, it is said, may be driven away from the garden by planting plenty of geraniums. The geranium genus, as is well known, possesses a volatile oil in greater or les? proportion, and also a variety of odors. These are said to be obnoxious to serpents. A missionary of South Africa had his parsonage surrounded by a narrow belt of geraniums, which effectually protected the residence from all varieties of snake?, and in South Africa the Caffir people thus na their premises of snakes. Nevertheless, in temperate countries there are very few venomous serpents, and the innocent species are not only innoxious but of great use from tbe insects they live on. So don t plant geraniums to drive away snakes, but plant them lor their Intrinsic value and beauty. American Agriculturist: Sheep should have a change of pasture. They are then more contented and thrive better. A large held will not graze so many as several small ones of the B&me aggregate size. Give salt at least once a week, ror scours, give a tablespoonful of castor oil; if continued, give a tablespoonful each of prepared chalk and essence of peppermint, in a cupful of water, r or stretches, which is only indigestion, common when the pasture gets dry. give an ounce of linseed oil with a dram of ground ginger. An Italian professor, in his investigations relating to the effects of vegetable perfame on the atmosphere, by converting its oxygen into ozone and thus increasing its oxydizing influence, says: "The essences found to de velop the largest quantity of ozone are those of cherry, laurel, clover, lavender, mint, juniper, lemon, fennel and bergamot; those that give it in smaller quantity are anise, nutmeg and thyme. The Mowers of the narcissus, hyacinth, mignonette, heliotrope and lily of the valley develop ozone in closed vessels. Flowers destitute of perfume do not develop it and those which have but slight perfume develop It in small quanti ties. Keasoning from these facts the profes sor recommends the cultivation of nowers in marshy districts and in places infested with animal emanations, on account of tbe pow erf ul oxydizing influence of ozone. For this reason, he says, the inhabitants of such re gions should surround their houses with beds of tbe most oaorous nowers." Mr. J. I. Thompson, secretary of the Michigan state agricultural society, writes to the Countrv Gentleman: "The profit on wheat is relative. If a farmer can sell his wheat early at a fair price, and thereby save interest, save hazard, save waste, he can make money by selling rather than hoiaing. If he can sell wheat even at a cheap price and buy lumber, nails, labor and building materials at a cheap price, ne can mate money by sellmir rather than by holding, All farmers want capital. If a farmer can sell his wheat even at a low price, and take that money and put it into more wheat, into cultivation and ferttiization ot jana, into labor on more land, then he perhaps does better than to hold his wheat. He keens his money busy. lie - keeps his capital employed. If a man sells wheat at a low price and buys land at a low price, which is sure to double in value, then he has not lost money by selling his wheat. Idle capital at the present day is winning no laurels. Idle wheat in the granary is aeaa capital. The farmer does not want any dead capital about The man who keeps his cap ital turning, even at a small margin, is tbe man who is making any money. The day of large profi's is not now. The men who have been waiting for large profits in wheat are the men who have lost money. I he men who are making money in' farming are the men who turn their capital often, who em ploy labor, who make improvements, who nut monev into crops and stock judiciously. and who do business satisfied with small profits. JENNY USD'S CKAZY LOVER. An Offer That tbe Songstress Said She Would Tblnk Abont. New York Bun. "Boots" Van Steenberg is well known in the region near the Catskill mountains. His Christian name is Tobias, but, because lie wears an enormous pair of boots in all kinds of weathe, he has for years been known simply as "Boots." Twenty-eight years ago he lost his heart to the cantatrice Jenny Lind, in her first series of concerts in this country, and his reason followed his heart soon afterward. His romantic history, his strange costume and bis idiosyncrasies have made him an object alike of pity and of cu rioslty throughout all the country side Pressed in butternut tro isers, woolen shirt

and heavy top boots, and dexrated with colored ribbons from head to foot he

marches briskly from town to town, makirg patriotic and sentimental speeches ana singing song. Like tbe Wandering Jew, bidden to traverse the earth without stopping or resting, "IooU" seems to be walking out a life sentence of perpetual motion. On arriving at a town or village he mounts up to some conspicuous position and gives a series of "view halloos" that at tract the townspeople. Thev break into peals of laughter at his queer hayings and ludicrous songs. Then he passes his hat for corns. His chief theme is love, and on this BuBject alone he seems to have full control of his faculties. His great blue eves dilate. the bearded face, usually expressionless, is lighted up with animation and intellieenee. and in clear ringing tones and smooth! v , , . . . ... ... rounaeu sentences ne gives lull swing to the passion of his early days. He has a little hut near Plattekill Clove, between Overlook and Koundtop mountains, in which he oc:asionally lodges at flight Here are collected ail sorts of cunomies that he has picked up in his travels. The spot would teem to have been, selected with care. ' It is one of the most romantic and picturesque regions of tnat charming countrv. Near it is the Platte kill falls, a cataract of 112 feet which, while not so extensive as N lBgara, resembles Niagara in the wild beauty of iu vast towering banks, worn by the ceaseless flow of waters Into sounding buttresses and mighty bastions. It is not easy to visit this wonder of the Catskill mountains, owing to the tall, sharp 1 X A , V . ... . rocKsmat surrouna it; but it will not be long before it will be thoroughly explored by the lovers of wild scenery. ine interior of ".Boots ' VAN 6TEEXBERG'S HCT is dressed with evergreen and laurel. Above the chimney piece Is an elaborate frame that was once gilded. Within it is the picture, now very much faded, of Jenny Lind. This is the key to "Boots' " history. When only 23 years of age Steenberg visited this city. He had a considerable sum of money with him, and he became fascinated with city life. One evening In September. 1850. In Triple hall, he beard Jenny Lind sing. He became lniatnated with her. In the 150 c oncerts, the extent of her engagement with liarnum, ne listened to her nightly. He expended nearly $1,000 on bouquets of choice flowers for her. These he threw to her himself from his seat in tbe nit. After this she sane in Castle Garden. While standing at the stage door of this custom, in hopes to catch a glimpse of Jenny uvaivj vuv a-i a v niici u7 i-ca a ma v a ua-s Lind, "Hoots" felt a light hand touch bis arm. It was the songstress herself. Sne bad recognized the young man as he who bad nightly thrown her nowers fram the pit She handed him her card. "Boo's" says: "She was living near the Bowline Green. I went to see her. fche treated me very po litely. I asked her to marry me. She said she'd think about it. I went to the house every day. I hung about the place eveiy night Sometimes she would see me and sometimes send word that she was not well. I thought of her while awake and dreamed of her while asleep. My existence was wrapt up in her. At length, when I thought I was sure of winning her, a man named Otto (foldschmidt arrived from Europe. This man seemed to have a supernatural power over her. She discarded me. The smile from her sweet lips that usually greeted me as 1 sat directly under the footlights was turned Into a cold stare." As he said this, "Boots" seemed overcome with emotion. Tears trickled down his weather-beaten face. The train of his thoughts seemed lost in chaos, and he appeared to be no more a reasoning being. He had sent to her native city, Stockholm, for a large picture of her. and had had his own picture engraved and copies sent to her. In all he had expended over $1,003 on Jenny Lind, and he soon found his money well nigh expended. S Kn he beard of her marriage to Goldschmidt in Boston. The anxiety, the heartburnings that bad rent his pas toral breast for months, then culminated in a severe mentil shock, and his reason was dethroned. He returned to his home on the Hudpon, and endeavored to raise money wherewith to follow Mr. and Mrs. Gold schmidt to Charleston, whither they were about to journey, lie was unsuccessful at first, but at length becoming possessed with the notion that he had money in the Kingston savings bank, he went there, drew a check for $.500, and presented it It was signed with his name. Strange to say, a distant relative bearing tbe same name happened to have an account at the bank, and "Boots' " signature was very similar. A former teller of the bank, in con venation with a reporter of the San at Sanger tit 3 last week, said: "He had no difficulty in identifying himself as Tobias Steenberg, and through ex treme carelessness the check wis paid. It was some time before tbe mistake was discovered. Then 'Boots' was found, but he had syent THE MONEY, and it being ascertained that he was non compos mentis, and innocent of an intentional crime, nothing was done about it, and the bank was held responsible for its error." The story of the check is still current in Kingston and Its environs. With the money thus obtained, "Boots" returned to New York, purchased a hand organ, and took the same steamship as did the songstress and her husband. He set the organ up in the cabin in front of her stateroom, and ground it by the hour. He considered this a serenade. It becime a nui sance. "Boots'" mental condition became known to the officers, and hia organ was locked up until Charleston w;is reached. "Boots" followed the newly mirried pair from Charleston to Columbia, and thence ta New Orleans. He ascertained the situation of the room of tbe songstress, and then play ed in the street as near it as possible. In Charleston he played In the hallway of the hotel, but this was soon forbidden by the proprietor. After several months "Boots" became thoroughly exhausted mentally and physically, and found his way back to his home at Kingston. This was in 1851. Since then he has wandered from town to town with children at his heels. He always treats them kindly, and is a favorite. He attends nearly all the shows in the villages, and l i invariably admitted free. Ills exclamations at different stages of the performance create amusement. In the Collingwood opera house at Poughkeepsie especially he is a favorite. He visited the Centennial exhibition, traveling the entire distance on foot He attempted to make a patriotic speech from the platform erected for he opening exercises He was thought by tbe police of Philadelphia to be intoxicated, and was roughly handled. "Boots" was frightened. He hurried home as fast as his legs would take hiri, and he does not speak of the CentenniU without trembling. A negro politician says the republican party of New Orleans is "completely subabcegated." The highest authority in New England the State Assayer of Massachusetts, after a careful analysis of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Benewer, certified that it is the best preparation for its intended purposes that has been exhibited for examination, that its constituents are pure and carefully selected for excellent quality, and that it forms an efficient preparation for pronoting the growth of the hair and restoring the original color. This world renowned preparation is for sale by all druggists. Record, Bed Oak, Iowa. A Good Account. To sum it up, six long years of bed-ridden sickness and suffering, costing $200 per year, total, $1,200 all of which was stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters, tiken by my wife, who has done her own housework for a year since without the loss of a day, and I want everybody to know it for their benefit.
