OUR FAIttt BUDGET.

How Sheep-Italslrg is Made Profitable in England. Can Bees Commit Tresspass Domestic Vinegar Slaking- Urate of Soda Prizes. The Quality of Woods A Firmer' Views About Hired Help A True Hen Story Household Hints Farm Kotes. How Shtep-RalsliiE is Made Profitable la Kcgl&nd. Philadelphia Record. It la a !weli-known fact that while many farmers in this country give bat little attention to the sheep, in England it is styled 'the animal that pays the rent" Farms in England are often rented at figures greater than the ccst cf purchase here, and without sheep farming in that country would result in a considerable loss. By comparing the methods practiced in both conn tries it will he noticed, In the first place, that we give greater attention to wool than to carcass, which is quite the reverse of the method practiced by the English farmers. We select the merincs, compete with Australia, aid yet complain that unless protected by a tariff sheep-rasing must be abandoned. The Englieh farmer, on the contrary, breeds principally for mutton, making wool a secondary consideration ; but in raiting sheep he makes a email area product a large amount of choice, high-priced meat. He possesses no advantage over our farmer, but pursues an altogether different method. Tte common practice in America is to turn the sheep out on pasture, feeding grain whenever necessary. As but few special crops are grown for their benefit, the sheep are allowed ample range, and are expected to forage over a large surface, which neceslarily compels our farmers to devote more space to each sheep than many of them can afford. In England the pastures are con Bidered too valuable to be devoted to sheep without acme method of restriction, and they are hurdled on small areas. Nor does the Ecglish farmer depend upon his pastures entirely for sheep, as he is compelled to secure a crop of winter hay. He sows turnips on a plot, turrs in the sheep ta soon ai the crop is large enough, ard while they are supplying themselves he has another crop growirg. to which he removes the sbeep as seen as the first crop is eaten. In this way he continually grows quickly-maturing crops and charges hia movable hurdles fie quently. Large numbers of cabbages. are aleo irewn for sheep, and every foot of land is mace to produce something They estimate that an acre will produce V2ti00 cavtaees, wh'cb will keep 100 sheep for twenty -four days. The cabbages are sometimes lea t3 me sheep from the cabbage li ld, and a number are laid aside for winter. Eye is used as an early grass in the spring, and wheat, barley and oats are also town for the abeep to graze upon. Even the regular grain crors are nipped by the sheep for awhila in their early stages. We have greater advantages for hurdling sheep in this country than are possessed by tre Englleh farmer, although he can prodace more turnips and other root crops. If our farmers wLl practice the English systsm of hurdliDR trey can pasture oa rye early in the spring, which should be sown in th9 fall for that pcrpcHe. Oats may follow, and next peas. As the season advances Hungarian grass and Indian corn may be sown, to which the sheep should be allowed access as soon cs the crops are a few inches high, as sheep prefer short grazing. The nee of clover has not been suggested, since it is not adapted to all sections, and is slow in making a stand. We can aleo use turnips and other roots, tops and DUios being serviceable, while sorghum, kale, mcstard and cabbage may be utilized, as it will not be necessary for any crop to mature. When the sheep have cleared off one piece, and are changed to another, the plot from which they are removed may be sown to something else. But it is not from the sales of wool and mutton alone that the English farmer derives "his profit. Iiis reason for hurdling is that he manures his land by the sheep. It is estimated that ICO sheep hurdled upon one acre for fifteen days will so enrich the soil aa to enable It to produce four crope. Tais has been satisfactorily proved, and in this country worn-out toils have been recuparatedand made fertile by confining sbeep upon them, though in such cases the sheep were fed for a while. The droppings from sheep are rieb in nitrogen, and being uniformly spread and trampled into the soil, every portion is benefitted, and, as the earth is an absorbent, but little less of available manorial matter occurs. Can Bees Commit Trespass? Mr. S.J. Freeborn, of Ithaca, Wis., has been made defendant in a novel suit. He keeps a let of bees at some distance from his house, acd about a mile from a pasture, mostly covered with white clover, and occupied by about a hundred blooded sheep. The owner of the pasture and sheep brings suit to recover i'jQO damages bane by the bees, which he declares come in countless hordes molest the sheep, end drive them from their feeding places. He also affirms that last season his sheep became thin in ccneequer.ee of the annoyance of the beas, and that many of them died during last winter. The bringing of this case has create! considerable excitement among bee-keepsrs in Wisconsin, and the proposition has besn made that they contribate money to help pay the expemes of defending the suit. It is understood that this is to bi a test case. If the plaintiff sucseedi in fainlrg if, other bee-keepers will bs likely to be sued to recover dimges dene to pastures, vineyards and pardeas by bees. It is passible that the "little bajy bte" may become the cause of many vexatious lawsuits. If damages are awards i in this case, any man owning a few square rois of land, devoted to almost any purpose, miy try to recover damages from all the owaers cf tees in the vicinity. Nearly all naturalists from Arietotle to Darwin have given their testimony in favor of the good work accomplished by bees in fertilizing fbwars and making it penible lo prodace large crops of clover seed. Ilecently bees have been introduced into various parts of Australia by the owners of extensive sheep-runs, for the express purpose of increasing the production of clover in the pastures. Many fruit- raisers In this country acd Europe have found it to their advantage to keep bees, not for the heney and wax they gather, but for the benefit they produce in fertilizing flowers. Bees have been accused of puncturirg grapes, and now they are charged with worrying a flock of sheep. Domestic Vlnejar-Maklng. Perhaps the best vinegar, writes a corresrondent of the Rural New Yorker, is mads from cider. It takes some time to make, unless in warm weather the barrel is rolled out in the sun, the vent opened, and some wire mosquito netting is nailed over the opening to keep out insects. A small quantity may be quickiy made by filling glsss fruit cans nearly foil, adding a little water and brown sugar, acd putting them where it Is quite light. If corn, mustard seed, horse radith, cr any such thing has been put in the cider when it is new to arrest fermentation, it will be much longer in turning to vinegar, and I thing it is never so good. Vineir can be made by mixing one gallon of m lasses with five or six gallons of water pure, soft water is the best If a little molasses is piesd on a piece of brown paper as larra as

the hand, acd put in after it is mixed, it teems to answer the purpose of "mother," r

the vinegar plant, as It is orten called. 1 nave nice vinegar made cf sweetened carnal Juice and water, equal parts. It was rather thin, but nne flavored. Where maple sugar Is manufactured the richest vinegar may be made from the rinsings ef all the dishes used, if saved in a suitable vessel, with the addition of some maple syrup, the whole thing being allowed to ferment. It i. as far superior in flavor to all other kind3 ot vinegar as maple sugar is to other kinds cf sweets. I knew a very careful, palnstaktrg housekeeper who uf el to keep a large etou jog in her pantry, and every dish use! fur mo.'acees, or anything of the sort, was rinse i and the contents poured into the jog. Eh alwajs bad an abundance of ymegar (.1 good quality, too), and it certainly did not seem expensive; it oaly took a little time and care on ber part. I think it is desirab'.s, when tcsfible, for families to make their cw i vinegar, as they know then what they urs uaic, ard a housewife ever confronted tr three meals a day will find plenty of gaol vinegar a very great convenience, as ii gia a ielish to eo many diehes The OatUlty vf Wood. There are certain appearances characteristic of good wood to whatever class it oblongs. In the same species of wood, that will in general be the strongest and most durable which has grown the slowest, is shown by the narrowness of the annular rings. The cellular tissue as seen in the medullary rajs (when visible) should be hard and compact The vascular or norocs tiiece ehould a. here firmly together, and ttould thow no wooliness at a freshly c it etiface: nor should it clog the teeth of the saw with loese fibres. If toe wocd is colored, darkness of color is in general a sign of dur ability and strength. The freshly cut surface ebculd be Crm and shining, and should have iomewhat of a translucent appearance. Ia aweodef a given species the heavy spec i mens are generally the stronger and the more lasting. Among resinous woods, those having the less: ream ia their pores, and among non-resinous woods those having tne least cap or gum in them are generally the beet. Timber should be free from such blemishes as clefts, or cracks radiating fr jm tte center; "enpshakes," or cracks, whici partially separate one layer from another; "upsets," where thehbres have been crip pied by compression; "wind-galls," or wounds in a layer ol wood which have beau covered acd concealed by the growth of sua eequent layers over them; hollow, epicy places in the center, indicating the com mencement of decay. Abont Ur4l Help. Ohio Farmer. So much baa teen said about relic enent amoung farmers, that the subject seeais at most exhausted. That farmers should be polite and refined there can be no reasonab e doubt, Lutattne tabie is not the only place where politeness should be observed. Not only Bhou!d the hired help practica it, but the caster and mistress as well, and thereby tench It by ei&aple, which ia alvaya the most effective. While there is no djut that there are hired help who lack politsntrs and good manners at the Uble, acd yet have other geed qualities to commetd thm, which are equally essential to cood breedicjr. it is a pretty difficult matter to find hlrtd help who are perfect In every particular. In speakirg of tbe faults of others we shoal d net forget cur own. If Mrs. Farmer s hired help is eo unmannerly ts she describes. would it not have been mire charitable and fa betw to have rpoken kindly to htm, trt vattlj than to expose and upbraid him pub lic'y? No man cf good common sense would have taken offense if kindly aked to öei'.n. If her hired man has any manliness or se::se of honor he c:uld not be blamed for reseat ine Ecch treatment Because a man is poor and obliged to be a "hired man" is no reason why be ehouli not be treated with kindness and consideration. Because I werk tor an other nan is no re a on to suppose that I am rnoia'ly cr intellectually his inferior. hate been obliged to hire help on the farm for several years, and have had no difficulty in getting a man to work for me a second time er offener if desired. I try to get sensible and intelligent man. and treat him as an honest man should be treated, and not make him feel that he is inferior in everv respect and fit only to do the chores and dirty work. If we treat our hired help right they will generally treat cs right; if not pay them and send them on their way. Farmer. A True Hen Story. IXew York Observer. A neighboring farmer had a motherly hen who liked to make herself useful by taking care cf all the young things of the farm yard. .Not only her own chickens, but young turkeys and peacocks were given ber to lock after, acd she watched them faith fully, and prevented their straying away or getting lest. In lact ehe was a nrat-rate etep mother. One day the farmer hearing a great ncise acd to-do in the barn, went to see what was the matter. He found the hen and a cat fighting with all their might and main over pome kitens: the cat being unwilling to give htr children np to a hen. The Intter hap pened at this time to be out of employ rcent and seeing the litter of young kittens. had thought it her duty to look after then. 80 ehe undertook to cover them with her wings and make them her own. This almost smothered the kittens, who were not ia tended to be cared for in any such way. I am sorry to have to say that this story has a sad ending. Not eeeing the hen for some days, the lady of the home asked the farmer about her and was told that she bad made herself so troublesome by per.irting in adopting the kittens that she had been killed to get her out of the way. Moral Let your neighbor look after his own children and don't mediae with his urn ily a flairs. HOUSEHOLD HINT9. Tomatoes are nice with cream and suar.

Cdld fowl left over from dinner may help to make an excellent side dish. Cutltint3 rather small pieces, put a large lamp of batter into a 1 auce-paa, and brown the meat tn bat; sprinkle pepper and salt and aoree Geor over it and when the meat Is brown add balf a pint of steck, which needn?t be veryrchtobo good, and a pint of peas csLned ontt); heat to the boiling pointand then serve.

FAItU NOTE3If Sil the conditions are favorable the Iargst eeed potatoes will give the earliest gftowlh cf matured tubrs, and the -less stalks the better. At a ebeep-ehearing at Decatur, Mich., a ram belonging to E Eandford, thoagh weighing but 92s pounds, sheared a flsece weighing twenty-two pounds. Kentucky breeders turn their mares with early foal out on rye pasture to promote their flow of milk. This ia an excellent plan, and should be followed elsewherj. A remedy f jr tte rasggot which infests cabbage la to make a bole with a dibble close to the stalk, insert ten drops of biiulphida of caabon and quickly close the hole az&in. The number cf fow's kept In France is said to be about 44 000,000. The average u i ruber of chickens annually rale el is three to each hen, while tbe average number of eggs per hen is 1C0 per annum. It ia not generally known that the average value of an acre of celery in the region of Kalamazoo, Mich., is $000, and that the annual crop reeches 5,000 tons. An acre contains from 25,000 to 30,000 plants. The land was originally tandy marsh. It is said that the flavor of beets, turnips or cabbages in milk can be overcome by dissolving balf a teaspoociul of saltpetre in a teacup of water and pouring it into the churn with the cream at churning-time. Cabbage maybe fed at night after milking without flavoring milk. Experiments by Lassainge show that 100 pounds of dry bay fed to a hone requirel a etcretion of 4C0 pound3 cf saliva, 100 pounds ot oats required a tecretion 115 pounds of ssliya, while 1C0 pounds of green food required but forty-nine pounds of saliva to prepare it for swallowing. It is now law that the New York State Daily Commissioner shall register each cheese factory and furnish it a special brand, baarirg a trade mark and the words "New York State full cream cheese." Using the brand on any other description is punishable with from 23 to ?50 fine and fifteen t3 thirty days iaopr'sonroent The skimmer's occupation is gone! A complete food for poultry is rscimmended by a prominent breeder as consisting of all the elements required for growth r.s.d egs It ia to take one quart of wheit and grir d it in a coffee mill. Then add one quart of cornmeal, two pounds of beef scrap?, boiled tender, and two or three raw on'oas. Mix thoroughly, take till well done, tnd crumble np for the fowls. Pre lessor C. V. Riley, entomolr gist of the Agricultural Dapartment, statt a that the country wiil soon be yisited by two great brcods of lecusts of the seventeen and thir tten-jesr variety, ad that this wiil be tie first time for 221 jears that they hav appeared in conjunction, bat he doe3 not iLink they will he gieatly destructive, though do lng come damage to fruit trees. Be careful In planting corn not suluMe to your climate. No variety wJih remarkably large ears, stalks or kernels will matare quickly ; no very earlv variety his ears &t3vs medium s'ze. Selection, climate, so l e:c, have eo modifiGd some varieties that two samples under the earns came may differ greatly. The niethsd of cultivation and time ot planting must aleo be considered Wherever Holstein bulls have been introduced the grades have displayed such mi; ked superiority as producers of milk, batter aud beef as to create a strong de man I for them. An Illinois dairyman states that he h.s a grade Holstein cow that gave 5 000 qiarti of milk in a yrar as a two-year old, and now, at six years of age, gives, on grass alone, eiht gallons of milk a day, and that many cf his grades never go dry. A Wisconsin dairyman reports that he his a calf (grade Holstein) which was bora the last day cf December. 1SS4. When two months old it weighed 333 pounds, and up to tbat pge it had been fed only on skim ned milk acd hay. It was weiehed again when four months old, and then reached 465 pounds. The last two months It was fed with skimmed milk, a little oil meal, sjme oats and a due proportion of hay. Asa general rule Professor Ford found that the yield of butter grew less the lower the temperature of the mill: before setting. When milk tet in ice water directly atter milking gave 100 pounds, milk that had been previously cooled to 68 degrees gave 95.7 pounds, 51 degrees gave 01 pounds and 43 degrees gave 6 3 pounds. A means of ree tori ng the original qualities of such milk was found in warming the milk to about 100 degrees before setting. The records of the Holsteins for butter aud milk combined may be shown by that of Pride of Twink, who, on grass alone, gave eighty-eight pounds of milk in one day, from which was made three and a halt pounds of nnsaltect baiter. Daring tbe inrnrcex of 1533, at ten years of age, after

laving given birth to twin calves in August, the produced thirty and a half pounds of bnter in thirteen days. Bhe ia the property of J. W. Stidwell & Co., of Troy, O. Although salt is need in packing batter, yet it does very little to preserve It Sa t, however, retards the decomposition of ca?ous and albuminous materials left in it There have been cases in which butter has been kept without ealt for a long time. Bays tbe Planter and Stockman : "There is scarcely a farmer in the country who can not add to his income, as well as to the delicacies ot the table, by the careful management of a few swarms of bees. The work is light, acd much of it n ay be done by women. The business is not as mvstericuä as maay suppose, and a knowledge of ail the dstails ne cessary rray be acquired in a very snort time. Tbe profits compare faycrably with other egricxtural pursuits." In order to have strong, well developed fowis, tbe chicks ebould be fed often ai J a 1 ttc-y will eat cf nourisbirs food.

The committee of the Saltpeter Producers' Association at Iquique, Chili, off era 3,000 in prizes for eesays on the tue of nitrate aud fcodaes manure. Of this amount a prizs of $2 500 will be awarded for the best popular er-ay showing the Importance of nit.Mts as a rxauure, acd the best mode of apolvlng it. It ia d: sired that the essay should, in its ;heoreticftl part exhibit the present state of knowledge on the effect upon vegetation of nitrate, as compared with other nitroganous preparations, and directions are a's? to be

given for the u:e cf nitrate as an aid to plait culture. A eecoca prize of equal value is to be awarded for the best accouat of new acd original applications of nitrate, based upon the re&c arches cf the author himself. A committee of judges, compesed of leading agri cultural chemists of all nations, has been nominated to receive these cooimunica lions. A WAK STOBT. How n Band cf Confederates on Northern Soil Made a Narrow Kucape Majle W. IlaikOa's Connection Therewith, Frankfort, Ky., Letter. The following rather romantic incident cf the late war has been koown to thaimme diate friends of the two gentlemen concerned for several months, bat this ia the first time it has been given to the public, and will be read with much interest by a large number cf Kentnckians and Indiauians, not for tbetaiecl the incidents a:ona. but also cn account of the prominence of the paitiea. it will be remembered that toward the clcee cf the war a plan was est afoot to liteicte and tbe Confederate prisoners in Northern prisons, and let than commerca Operations in the rear of the Union ermies. Qiirj a sumtcr cf lets tiers in the Confederacy w.-re created in working up the p'an, and among othera was a young man named Uastlemaa, who bad himself escaped from pnaon aad succeeded in r eaching Cacada, tbe nearest point of safety, where he and ten others were pet Jgceu to et r'.a:u uui.ts in tue suuelu-i ui liberation. They left Canada one at ati.r.e on their respective mistions, agreeing to meet at Indianapolis, Ind., on a certain day and lepcxt prcgrers. and arrargs their lumte movements. Before the day el meeting ar rived, however, young Castlem&n was ea? tared ard condemned to ba shot, and, in stead of going to Indianapolis to meet his com r&des, he was taken there under guard t3 kiva his sentence executed. Strangely enougi ha larded there the very day agreed upon with his friends, and wbi.e waiting at the do pot another train came in and ho saw them descend from the cars and paer cautiously about as if looking for htm. He knew they must leave Indianapolis at ot ce or their capture was inevitable, but he was powerless to warn them himself, for that would cause them to be suspected, and thus bring about the very thing he wished to avoid. Juet then his guard moved away a little distance, and he determined to take a desperate chance and ask Borne one of the many strangers gathered in the depot to warn his friends. Casting his eye over the throng he finally selected a man with a kind and benevolent countenance, who was 6uaa ing a few steps away. If the stranger proved unfriendly it would be equal to an otder cf armt to atk him to give the warning, but he felt that if they went unwarned they would be arrested an? how, so he took the chances, desperate as they were, and tauntered casn allv up to the man and eaid: "I bf g your pardon, sir, but I am in rather an nnftrtunate situation, being condemned to be Ehct in a few days, and, although you are a atrarger, I want you to do me a i'avor." "I will do it with treat pleasure," repl'el tbe stranger, "if I can do so consistently." "DoJ yon eee that small group ot men standing over there.'" eaid Casueman, point ing at the same time with his hand. "Weil, unlets thev leave on the next train they wil soon be in a similar condition to mine, aud I want you to goat once and tell them to leave. Will you grant this request to a man who has but a few more days to live?" "I will." said the stranger, and before yoang Castleman was taken from the depot he had the pleasure of seeing his comrades toitd the train in obevacca to his rLCJsi-'a. Thrcngh the influence cf friacd3 a respite of tcixty days was granted Castleman, and before that time had expuei the bjutnera armies had surrendered, peace- reigned again and all prisoners were set at liberty. Ha sever learned the came of the atranser who aided him in saving his friends from arrest; 'but come months Bince Hon, Baylees W. Hanca, the recently appointed Minister to Fenda.was in the parier at Alexauer's Hotel in Louisville, talking to pome friends, when Adjutant-General John B. Castleman ot this S'.ate walked m. oen. castleman gza very intently at Judge Kann for several minutes, and then, slowly walking up to him. s Aid: "If I am not mistaken, yea are ths man who did rre a great favor about twenty vearssco. 1 don t know your name, oct have never forgotten that face." He toeri related the circumstances written above, and when he finished Jndgs Hann a said : "I am the man, and I am delighted to see ion acain, and under more favorable circumstances this time. I see." Of cocree they related the incident over and otersgain ia all its details, and it was much enioved by all tho?e present If Gen. Castleman could arrange a meeting of his ten comrades (if living) ud Judge Ilanna it would be a mast enjoyable occasion, for It would certainly artord taeai much happiness to thank Judge Hanns for tavirg them from arrest, and prooaDiy exe cuuon. A Difference of Opinion, f Communicated. I In last week's edition of the Sentinel I see a communication from Deer Held, Ind., signed "Many Voters." He seems to make seme bold assertions in regard to the uemoc recy of this locality which I can not under stand. If he is a Democrat, be is weak-kneed or ycurg In Democracy. Probably the writer is a oisaupointed omce seeker. "Aiany ot era" is considered more than one, but I think it is only cne who wrote tbe article. In re paid to the Democracy In this locality, there is no dissatisfaction. He saysthat Cleveland would not get fifty votes now where he eo a majority of 123. I am ot the opinion that be would cet more than 12s. he Bays Cleve land policy Is not what we voted for. would like to know what the writer did vote for, acd who he voted for. I am of the op'.n ion he is a man that dees not belong to the party, and it will be very gratifying to the Democracy bcre if you will publish his name in full. lama voter at Deertield, and am seventy yeara old. and I am not discouraged wit h the Democracy yet Dmocat.

The furniture should be small, tufted easy chairs and lounge in the tame cretonne and fringes, or smooth cushions of cretonne worked with a little gold thread. An older lady's room might present the carpet and hangings in the new and Ray er design of nastnrtions and blue convolvulus, or the Frenchy looking fleurde lys and roses, with tapeetry headings and lace under curtains of the cheer swiss work or tbe cutwork muslin draperr.

" Democratic Keuilnleccnces Sunset Cox's Recollection. From the advance i beets of S. S. Cox's "Three Decades" we take tbe following: But what shall we cay of Governor Smith He is test known by his name of "Extra Billy." He was a man of undaunted courage and of wonderful rerources. He became a Major General in the Confederate army. He mduated from the war as the Governor of Vircinia. He and his Bons were cf:en wounded, for they never shirked danger. Upon cne cccasioD, when he wss but a Colo nel, he was ordered by a oeneral in com mand to move forward down a road, to dl vde his commar d and capture the enemy. He rut bed to the capture with such impeta otity that, when reprcachf d for not dividing his force as he bad been crdred, he replied: "I captured the enemy, str, before I could divide." Alexander It Boteier is still livine. He had seme relation with the Cen ternial acnivere ary. Ho made the most elo ouent speech, next to that of Sergeant b. Prent'ss. in his own cse, ever delivered in Cocgrets. He was a Union man before the war. and deprecated hostilities.

Colonel Harry A. Eimonston became member of the Confederate Congress, and still lives. North Carolina rnoiced in Union man whose name was William N. H. Smith. He came within one vote of beb Speaker. After the many complications co: nected with the Speakership, the writer voted for this gentleman in the famous contest which the Helper book occasioned. Twenty odd years afterward he met him in North Carolina and had tte pleasure cf being in troduced to him, in courteous words and kindly oratory to an audience in Fayette ville. Mr. 8mith is now Chief Justice of the State. Thomas Kufhn, of North Carolina, died of wounds as a prisoner. Lawrence O'B Branch became a Confederate Major General. He was killed at Antietarn. He was cor rpicuoua as a soldier. While a member of Congrefs he was dignifisd, reticent, able ard just. Warren Wlnslow was fond of literature. He read poetry amid the most fiery debates. He was cot a young man. and was worried at last into following his State into secession. He died in 1803. Jobn A. Gilmer was a strong Union maa in Congress. He had a treasure of fun, whiftb. his cratory and features never belied. He

became a member cf the Confederate CdogrcES. He never fought, except through his ton. He lived until after tbe war was over. Burton Craig e, of North Carolina, was a man of herculean proportions.

Ur de Kuba Claiborne, oi Upatoie, was in town Saturday. He is a icllv old bachelor. and always has his body full of fun when he comes to this town, where be was brought up. In a street conversation Saturday the talk turned upon the administration of Cleveland, and something was said about tbe delay In turning out Itepublicaa office holdCIS. Uncle Eube eaid: "Well, they ought to do like we old Whigs d:d when we beat the Democrats. There was no waiting. When the Whigs got in, it wasn't five days before every Democrat went out. And as to the rcsclfices, why, we just took 'em. No waiting for a ccmaiission; we walked in and took possession. Ccptaln James McNeilsmiled aud saii: "Yes. You iemember how Uncle Billy Walker did Uncle Dick Rolfe about the Talbotlon P.stcilice in 1810. Ur tie Billy Walker was a great Whig, and quite a popular old ceotleiran here, as well as a good-joker. Uncle Dick P.olfe then held the Postotnce as a Democrat Uncle Billy bad an old negro eervant, Neddy by the name, whom everybody knew and who In physique was eaid to have reeemblcd Henry Clay. The night after the election cf Harrison in 1840, Uncle Billy was sitting in front of his hotel in Talbot ton, for he was the keeper of the hotel, acd he called Neddy and said: " 'Neddy, take that large hamper basket of mice and go over yonder and tell your Mars Dicky Eolfe to send me the Pos toffies.' "Neddy presently appeared at the Posteffe?. Uncle Dick was eitting quietly in front with a party cf frisnds feeling sore over their defeat and discussing the incidents aud result of the hot contest through which the country had just passed and he was really in the midst of a very fiery denunciation of the whig party when Neddy appeared wish a large hamper basket on his head. The Democratic Postmaster suddenly stopped aid asked: " 'What do you want sir?

You eld scoundrel, if you stay here another ina'ant I whl kill yon with this chair " 'Well, boss, Mars Billy eon't' Git out! Git out! shouted Uncle Dick, at tbe tame time Btarting for Neddy with hta chair.

"We picked np &n old lady down here on Grand street, and, after the conductor helped her on and she had fixed herself in the seat a young feller had given her, she pulled cut an old-fashioned purse and counting out five pennies, says, 'Conductor, I want to get out at Great Jone3 street " 'All right, mum,' says the conductor aud he went back on the rear platform and began talking to a friend. When we got up by Princo street she waved her parasol and sucg out: " 'Conductor, ain't th's Great Jones street?' " 'No mum,' says the conductor, 'this is Prince.' "When we passed Bond street she jumped clean out of her seat 'Conductor.' she shrieked, 'this must be Great Jones street.' " 'Be easy, mum,' says the conductor with a scowl, 'I'll look after ye.' "Pretty soon we did come to Great Jones Btreet but the conductor was talking politics and he didn't notice it. I made up my mind I'd eee tbe fun through, so I kept the horses movin' at a smart pace. Just as we was a-goin' by the old dame taw the name on tbe lamp-post. Did ehe holler? Not much.

The conductor wa? eo paraljzsdhe couldn't move a hand, while I was langhin' so I couldn't have stopped it if I'd wanted to. Bimeby a man in the corner pulled tte bell and the horses slapped. Then the old lady got out and sailed np the street, leavin the conductor starin' helplessly at the clock, which registered fifty fares when we bfida't bad a dozen passengers on since we left the stables."
