If to go a long distance the degree of hardness must be governed by the length of time the fruit will be en route. The exaet condition at which fruit must 1 gathered for different distances can only be learned by exerience. Hefore packing, the peaches should be turned outuiona table, where they may be injected, an not a single soft one allowed to be parked. One ovtr-ripe r-each may sioil a whole crate. In jacking it is usuafto make three grades: seconds, first"! and extras. It is customary to ''twig" the extras by placing a leafy twig cf the tree ujon the top of the basket or rrats. Let each crate or basket be of uniform quality throughout, though it is allowable to "face" the baskets by turning the colored cheek of the topmost layer uppermost, crates should be so full as to require some pressure to bring the cover to its place. Mark all the packages plainly. Foot Rot in sheep. American Agriculturist. It is far easier to prevent foot rot than to cure it. Once, in the writer's ex jerience, we bad it in a large rlock of sluep for two years. "Ve finally cured it, but it was a tough job, and we have had a wholesome dread of it ever since. AVe now keep a gallon jug of carbolic acid always at hand, and whenerer a sheep is lame, or the hoofs need pariiiR, "We apply, with a brush, a little crude carbolic acid to the feet. Two or three times a year, we make a business of jroing over the whole flock, and give a liberal application of carbolic acid to every hoof. We have had but one case of genuine foot rot since we adopted this practice, now more than a tloztn years ago. This one case was easily cured. For cure or prevention, we know of nothing better or cheajer than carbolic acid, h'ulphuric or muriatic acid will answer as well, lloth are cheap, and both useful for many purposes on the farm, provided you know how to use them, and take proer care il them, to prevent accidents. On the first api-arance of the disease, every sheen and lamb, and every foot, and every hoof, and very toe, esjt ially the parts between the toe, should be carefully and thoroughly -washed with carlolic acid. In two or three days go over the whole flock again, and if there are any new cases separate them, not merely for fear of contagion, but for conve nience in dressing them rejeatedly. How Much ieed Wheat Per Acre. American Agriculturist. One of the questions to which there is no definite answer is, how much wheat shall le sown to the acre? Much dejends on the condition of the soil, the degree of fertility, the time of sowing, the liability to injury from birds and insects, and on the subse quent c haracter of the season. As a rale, less seed is required when sown with a drill than broadcast; less when sown early than when sown late. In Western New York some farmers sow onlv one bushel ter acre; sun more sow rive tecK3 with a anil, and six E s?cks u broadcast. Occasionally two ushels per acre are sown, but probably the average is one and a half bushel. The American Agriculturist has readers in Great Britain, where three bushels are sown: and again, in sections of our own country, where three petKs are the rule, lo the inexper ienced, we can't give no better advice than to recommend them to ask their neiirhbor. There is generally some good reason for a prevailing practice. If you think your neighIors are sswiii!r too much, sow a little less: if you think they are suwinjr too little, sw a i-ek more. Do not show your indejenlence by halving or doubling up. If you do, you are pretty certain to make a mistake. Angust Dint for farm and Garden. American Agriculturist.) Cut oats 1-efore they are fully ripe; they will shell ontlcs, and'the straw will le more rluatle for fodder. Buckwheat sown early this month will usually e-scape the frst. Should it be injured, it will yet be valuable for plowing under. The old New England method wa.s to work corn three times. The first hoeing was called weeding; the second half-binding, and the third Wuü to hill the corn : after this it was left for the ground to be Tcrmn with late weeds. The better method is to run the cultivator as long, as a horse can pass between the rows. The cultivator not nly tirs the surface, but kills the weeds. A plow should not now be used, as it cuts the roots, ihm the root-crop. Sow strati leaf turnips in drills twenty-eight inches apart, usiug i.h) pounds to the acre of superI'heifphate, or lone flour near the seed, Ciive meadows a ton dressing of old manure or tine compost. Harrow bare and mossy spots in pastures, and sow seeel on them. Give a elressing of lime or plaster. Cut brnsh with a brush-book; burn and save the th. This is a harvest month for weeds. Market Garden. Keep aaragus clear of weeds, us'ng the hoe until the to,s prevent, then jnll the large weeds that apj-ear. Hoe cabbages and cauliflowers frequently. Liquid manure will cause rapid growth. Cultivate between the rows of carrots and other root crop until the leaves jrevent. Celery may still be set and make fair-sizes! beads for win ter use. Let that jdanted earlier be well cul tivated and clear of weeds. Keep sweet corn clear of weeds and the soil mellow by the us of the cultivator. As soon as the ears are gathered remove the stalks and cure for fodder. Cut off all smutty ears and stalks and turn thesa. Gather cucumbers for pitkles

Tlie Iniry. "Weight ier gallon of milk is varied slightly by its richness that is, the greater percentare of cre-am the less its weight. A fair av erage standard is 2.13 pounds ier quart, or about 8 pounds JJj ounces per gallon. I5y some the legal standard, adopted is I ounds. There is no cure for a cow that sucks herself except to slit the tongue for an inch and a half at the end and middle. If this is oliected to, the animal should be fattened and killed, which will no doubt be a more disagreeable remedy to loth the cow and the owner than the other. Any cow can le milked dry in a few weeks by irregular milking, sometimes at intervals of twenty-four hours and sometimes six. Separation from her usual company, a change to a new location, a strange milker and scolding voices are soure-es of irritation that mure or less impair the milking qual ities of a cow. A bridle to prevent a cow from sucking he rself is made as follows: A head stall is fitted w ith a buckle and strap or a ring on each side; a stout surcingle is fitted in the same way. A tough rod of hickory or white oak is fasteneel on each side of the cow from the belt to the bridle; this makes it im possible for the cow to reach the teats, while it eloes not interfere with her feeding. In selecting a good milker a writer says: The udder siiould be large and capacious; it need not be fieshy. It should be broad and reach well forward. A large development of the forepart of the bag is a more certain in dication of quality than the back part. The teats should be se t wide apart, and be of good size for handling. Teats which arc small next to the uduer denote small tube-s inside the bag, which, of course, is unfavorable to quantity. A complete and quick separation of the buttermilk from butter is imierative to se cure the best article. First, it should be churned without the beating process that compact it in a mass but rather using a churn that bv concussion brings the butter in granular form, as this faci Mates rapid sep aration ol the buttermilk. Draw on the milk, and wash the butter with eold brine; the brine tlisolveis the buttermilk, and the loose, granular condition of the butter iermits it rapid escape and most thorough removal of the hvtermilk is accomplishes!, olviating excessive working with the ladle-, preserving the grain and producing batter that will keep a long tune. It is said that a new method of washing butter has lceii patented in Germany. As soon as gathered ;n the churn in particles of about a tenth of an inch in size, it is trans ferred to a e-entnfugal machine, whose trum is pierced with holes and lined with a linn sack, that is finally taken out with the but ter. As soon as the ma lime is put in rapid motion the buttermilk lx-fiins to escaie; a spray ef water thrown into the churn washes out all the foreign matters adherftis to the butter. This wash is kept ut till the waliwater exmie's awa v e-lean end the revolution is then continued till the last drop of water is removed, as clothes are tlriesl in a centrifugal wringer. The drv butter is then taken out, molded and packed. It is claimed that the product thus so quicklv freed from all impurities without any working or kneading, has a finer flavor, aroma and grain, and far U tter keeping qualities than when'pre-I-ared lor market m the ordinary way. Hie Poultry Yard. The cross of the Imgshan with the com mon fowl gives splendid broilers. A healthy fowl will drink fifteen to twenty times rT day, and in a close coop or in hot weatner still oitener. Separated earlv and raised up by thcra-se-lves, pullets are worth at least a quarter more for use than if allowed to run with a lot of cockerels. The most desirable eegs for setting are those the freshest laid. A liberal daily sprinkling of tepid water upon them when incubation i near its accomplishment say a week before hatching is an aid to the free issue of the chicks at maturity. A Holliston correspondent writes that Silas O. Thomson, of that jdace, has a Ply mouth Kock pullet which, at eighteen weeks of oge, has laid five eggs, and all of them double-yolked. Mr. Thomson thinks the Plymouth Hocks are still ahead. The best way to induce a turkey hen to care for a large number of chicks: Wait till she gets ready to sit; give her a-s many eggs as she can cover well, and a week later set several liens: when they hatch give all the chicks to the turkey and she will mother them. A small plot f ground thickly sown with barley as soon as the ground is drv enou.'h will be eaten bare by fowls. It is better to let them have a little piece for themselves than to allow them to run over winter and spring grain in the fields, or than to shut them up to keep them from trcspasin2. 'Cockchafer," a writer for the Knglish Live Stock Journal, is of the opinion that mixing meal for poultry feed "reouires practice and Wiling water, and some of the ingredients which a great painter saia he used to mix his colors with brains." The standard weights of Wyandottes are: Cocks, 8),' jounds; cockerels, "M pounds; hens. uZ pounds; pullets, .r;i pounds; tliese weights being about as hiirh as is compatible with great egg production. In some instances, of course, they will overrun the above weights, but arc more apt to fall be low than exceevl them. Still the standard weight is the awvage cf the breed, and there is no trouble in making them reach that ?ize. For cverv three gallons of soft water. put in one pint of fresh-slacked lime and half a pint of common salt. Mix well, and let the barrel Jr" alout half full of this fluid, then with a dish let down the fresh eggs, tipping. the dish after it tills with water, so the esrgs win roil out without cracking the shell, for if the shell should happen to be broken the egg will spoil. If fresh e-gs are put in, fresh eggs wia come out. If it pays to keep poultry it pays to care for it pror-orly, and it pays to keep pure bred poultry as well as any other kind of pure bred stoe k. I try to be broad in my views on any lbject, and although 1 believe the brown leghorns to be the best breed for every farmer, I could go into Dr. Kobinson's pen and heartily enjoy looking at his light jiranrnas or i'iymouth Hocks. J-.xierience has taught me this fact the best breed for any man to keep is the one he takes most delight in. Much profit Is missed by feeding youiig chickens too long. The early broods should now be ready for feeding. .It is better to have them already fed, for then the cockerels will le ready for sale and the pullets will be so far forward as to be ready to begin laying early in the fall. P.ut if the chickens have not bee n fully fed the cockerels should liewpnrated now and the old cocks turned in with Mm, M any late, the cotls should

be eparaieel from tle bens at once, as thev

are u worry jmwI a imrsance U the hens, and more cgs" will be Lud without thai with th(m. When the jwoss of hatching is entirely Over and all the e hie kens -are out, it is better not to disturb the ben, after having given her a gooel feed, for twenty to twenty-four hour", w hen some hard-boiled egg, chop ped tine, mixed with an eejual quantity of bread crumbs and slightly moistened with milk, may be give-n to both the hen and her brood. For treatment of dysentery in fowls give two'grain jxjwders of Mercurus Vivus, 4 x, every thirty minutes until three are taken, then every 'three hours until decided improvement in eliscliarge. Follow up with S'ux Vomica :i x, two jellets night and morning for a few clays to keep up the strength of the birtl. (Jive every five hours alive-grain capsule full of burnt brandy. Give for food crackers or stale bread soaked in calded milk, also scaldeel milk for drink. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. That warm borax water will remove elandrutr. That salt should be eaten with nuts to aid digestion. That milk which stands too long makes bit ter butter. It is worth knowing that a bag of hot sand relieves neuralgia. That it rests you in sewing to change your position frequently. That rustv Hatirons should be rubbed over with beeswax and lard. That a hot, strong lemonade taken at bed time will break up a bad cold. That tough meat is made tender bv lying a few minutes in vinegar water. That a little soda water will relieve sick headache caused by indigestion. That a cup of hot water drank before meals will prevent nausea and dysjiepsia. That a cup of strong cotfi-e will remove the odor of onions from the breath. That well-ventilated bed-rooms will revent morning headaches and lassitude. That consumptive night-sweats may be arrested by sponging the body nightly in salt water. That one in a faint should he laid flat on bis back, then loosen his clotnes and let him alone. That a fever patient can be made cool and comfortable by frequent sponging oil' with stxla water. That cold tea should be saved for your vinegar barrel. It sours easily and gives color and flavor. That to beat the whites of eggs quickly, add a j'im h of salt. Salt cools, and cold eggs froth rapidly. That the hair may le kept from falling out after illness by a frequent application to the scalp of sage tea. That you can take out spots from washgooels by rubbing them with the yolk of eggs before washing. That white spots ujsn varnished furniture w ill disapjiear if you hold a hot plate from the stove ove r them. Cucumber Salad. A refreshing variety of salad, to be eaten alone with cold meats, is made of cucumbers and onions. The cucumIkts are to be parcel ami then sliced crosswise as thinly as osible; one or two large onions are slu ed in the same manner and mixed with the slie-cd cucumbers, and the whole put into salt water; this in a short time extracts the juice. Now drain them and dish; they are to be well peppered and about half covered with good wine or e-ider vinegar; a little olive oil may be added if liked. This salad may also be frozen and served with boiled fish. Lemon Ice Cream. Take four qxiarts of the richest kind of cream, which has not the slightest quantity of milk in it. To every quart cf this cream add the essential oil of one lemon as you have it in the sugar as above directed, half a pound of finely pulverized white supir and two newlv laid etrjrs. Mix well together in a porcelain lined icing basin. Place on the fire, stirring; constantly, until thecreamlias reached the boiling jxjint. IK not allow it to boil. As soon as it has reached the boiling; point take it off immediately and strain through a hair sieve. When it has lecome cool pour into the freezing can and freeze. When the cream is f rozenV and before you begin working it with the spatula, to every quart of cream add the juife of one lemon. Observe that while the zest of the rind f the lemon is to Ix? worked into the mixture at the outset the juie e of the pulp is not to be added till the cream is frozen. It is essential that you be very jarticularalout this. The reason is that if you add the juice before1 the mixture is frozen it is apt to curdle the cream. FARM NOTES. Never allow wagons and implements to be used as ben-roosts. Stock in the pasture without shelter during the warm days will fall off in condition. Half-barrel fish kegs make the lest soap tubs. Pine is the only wood that will stand the eating action of soap. The gardener of the John Hopkins estate, in llaltimore County, Md., has cultivated tigs for twenty-live years and never failed of a crop. The dwarf variety of peas are the best to sow for a succession in the summer, as the taller kinds ore slow in maturing and filling out the jkhIs. A writer in Pradstreet's asserts that after thirty-five years exierieiiee in Iowa, he has never known a mortgage foreclosed on a elairy or stock farm. Ftrawlrtrry leds may be set out in September in this latitude, and if slightly mulched on the approach of winter, will make earl' growth in the spring. The approximate number of sheep in the world is set down at 41.",0Ü),OW. Of this num ber ft;, out i,o m, or neany 14 per cent., are raised in the United states. A Western beokeeiKr has adopted the plan of win term his lives by burying them in the ground. He ri'.d not lose a swarm during the ia?t jeVctti Winter.

One of the grandest werets in feeding all live stock is to change to any new food grad ually and to give no more than will le eaten with a good appetite, loung animals ihhh! to be fed more frequently than older ones. A teasiHxmful of glycerine and a few drops of nitric acid to a jint of drinking water will generally cure a fowl that shows symptoms of bronchitis, when accompanies! by a gurgling sound lu the throat, as it chok ing.

PRINCE HENKY OF BATTOHKIIG. THE ERIVF.eiROOM. Py marrying the Princess Beatrice, Tri nee Henry of Pattenberg makes his home in Kngland, ami he is under the obligation to live near his mother,in-law, who desires to still enjoy the society of her daughter as much as jossible. As all the Queen's daughters have been separated far from her as the result of their marriage, the condition under obedience to which Trince Henry won his bride, seems a reasonable one. Prince Henry of llattcnberg was born on Octeber ö, 1S."S. He takes his title from the town of Pattenberg, a place of about l,ooo inhabitants, situated in the Grand Duchy of Hcssc-Dannstaelt. He is the third son of lTince Alexander of Hesse, and his eKlest brother, Alexander, is the reigning Prince of Pularia. The second of Prince Alexander's sons is Prince Ixuis of Battenberg, of the British navy, and husband of Quce'n lctona s grand-daughter, the Princess ictoria of Hesse. During the two vears imme diately previous to his engagement as hus-hantl-elect of the Princess Beatrice, Prince Henrv was Lieutenant in the Guard Corps, the finest of regiments in the Prussian army, and of which his eldest brother, the Prince of Bulgaria, is Major General. He was a favorite in society at Berlin, and since his residence in Kngland has been, it is said, in Secial grace with the ejneeii. His bride is older than he, her life having begun on April 14, lsvT7. Her life has been retired and uneventful, as the companion of her royal mother, whose widowhood, began when the Princess Beatrice was four years old. She was carefully educated, and excels as an amateur artist. The reader will call to mind the Birthday Album illustrated by the Princess, which had a large sale on both sides of the Atlantic. In disposition the bride is amiable and generous, and she is endeared to the 1'ritish people by the fact that iter tew appearances in puhlic have been in the performance of acts of benevolence. TWO LITTLE BLUE BOOTS. A Most Astonishing Incident in Couueetion With a Dashing Widow. Special to the World. Britm;kport, Conn., July 21. Among the many stylish carriages which at this season of the year throng Sea Side Park just betöre sundown every afternoon there has ieen noticed of late a handsome Brewster victoria drawn bv a pair ejf spirited bays. The white straw collars and the shining trappings of the horses have attracted much attention when indeed it has been possible for one to tiirn his eyes for a moment from the vision of loveliness that reuses in the carriage, and much of Bridgeport is in a fever of curiosity to know from whence the dashing turnout comes and to whom it belongs. This curiosity has been intensified by an incident os the French would say, a contretempswhich occurred last Saturday evening. Upon her first appearance in the park the w idow (for Bridgeport is agreed that the fair occupant of the Victoria is a widow) let it !e seen of all men that she had a remarkably neat and pretty pair of feet. Leaning back in her cushioned seat she ermitted two shiny blue kid lootsto creep out from under a cover of f.ounces upon the velvet carpeted floor of her low carriage, w here, nestled one agrinst the other, as motionless and demure as a air of sleeping mice, they remained in full view ( all beholders. Thy were ravishing feet. Bridgeport jeople. in their narrow-minded wav. have been heard to say that Barnum ought to have them, meaning that they were priceless and unique. The "widow's feet'' had come to be recognized as one of the attractions of a drive in the park, and it is not to le wondered at that when last Saturday, having ' her stylish carriage halted where dozens of other equipages were drawn up in front of the band stand, all eyes turned in her direction. The little blue "feet were as usual in sight. The band played a ravishing waltz, but the pretty little boots remained insensible to its rhythm; the feet of other ladies might tap a sympathetic aceoniIianinient to the music, but the widow's feet new no such frivolity. They seemed to say, "We are here; we are beautiful; we are content." Suddenly there was a commotion amors the horses; a trotter attached to a light watron l"naroe Testive, and backing lincxjieetedly, brought tire reaT wheels of the vehicle in which re , wot mven snarpiy ntrainst tire W-k vf tire widow's victoria. There was a little shriek, a 'frntter of white earmenrs. aud in 'another 'instant the widow was standing trembling :in the road, supported by :the footman, who had jumped from his box as his mistress left the carnage. Aim now occurrm u mosi usionishing thing. The wldow was in the road, that was j.L 'n'to -everybody but there, sitting quifttlj ide byside on the floor of the carriage W hich sbe had forsaken, were her beautiful feet. There was no mistake about it. They were' there, two lovely blue shoes ending in shanelv ankles that were encael in black silk stockings, Above the ankles was nothing. With a cry of distress, the widow scrambled back into her carriage; the coachman threw a robe from his box onto the floor of the victoria, completely covering up the little blue boots, and at a frantic si nal from his mistress drove rapidly out f the park. It is said that the widow Is the occupant of a rented cottage at Southjtort. She has not bee n seen since Saturtlay. Advice to Male Drivers. Rochester Herald.

"ROUGHING IT." Iiperietce cf an jEdiirapolis Man in the "Wilds cf Dakota,

Fleeing From a Mob How a Hoosier Lost 25,000 A. Kemnrkable Cyclone and Hail-Sdorm A Narrow lrape. The Sunday Sentinel announced some time ago the departure of Henry A. Fox, a well-known and reputable citizen of this city, for Dakota, seeking the restoration of his health, and also to engage in the insurance business for the Dakota Fire ami Marine Insurance Company, of Chamberlain, D. T. Mr. Fox returned home epuite unexjcted the other day, and yesterday was met by a representative of this paer, when a very interesting conversation was held, in which he related some of his experiences while up in that wild region. "Yes," said he. "I was told by Dr. Jamison six months ago that if I remained in this climate half a year I would die of consumption. Btit I am not dead yet. I feel better and weigh more now than I ever did in my life. I had a tougli time of it, however. The country is new and not yet well settled. We did a great business in insuring crops against damage or loss by hail. There were thirteen corps of agents for the comjany, and in our corps there were eight men under the management of A. V. Ilagsdale, of Daviess County, this State. Each man, I think, turned on an average .1,4jj jier week into the company's hands, and we received 100 a month and expenses. "One day they had a terrible cyclone and hailstorm up in Northern Dakota, which literally destroyed everything. The President and Directors of the company realizing that their expenses in adjusting all the claims would be enormous, converted u'.i their paper into cash and skipjed for parts unknown,' as the saying goes. That left us innocent agents in a very critical jositioii. Why, our e orj-s was at Mitchell stopping at the hotel when a mob of 17.) men armed with ritks came up and asked the proprietor where those 'insurance devils' were. The man had the presence of mind to tell them he thought we bad either left town, or had taken up quarters at the other hotel. So, off they went, with veils and curses of vengeance to the other house, while we made our way out of town in a hurrv. Our party split, and Mr. Bagsdale and 1 broke for "the creek. When we reached that, we got m the middle, and, waist deep in water, waded fully three miles to keep them on" our trail. At last we came to a railroad, when we boarded a train for Indianapolis, and we returned home all safe and sound. But I don't know how well the other part of our crew fared. We left everything we bad except what was in our pockets. Mr. Ilagsdale had .'o,CXKJ worth of stock in the concern and besides bad iaid out $-",000 or more for our ex-j-enscs. ' .Mr. t ox then stated the manner in which the affairs of the company had been conducted, which to the average Hoosier farmer would he qu-te peculiar. For instance, a farmer is to till out a blank application for insurance, in which he sets forth the number of acres sown, and for a specified sum ier acre the company agrees to pay a certain ptiee er laishel for the grain if lost or damaged y hail, as appraised by qualified land holders. In addition to the note the farmer gives to the company for the amount of his insurance, he also gives a mortgage on his crops, which in case of failure to pay off the note, is to be forektsed. As hail storms are of great frequency in that region, this would api-ear to be a very fair and respnt tabic buiness, nnd Mr. Fox says over half the farmers took advantage of so generous an insurance, ill consequence of which as many farms are under mortgage. Our informant was an eye witness to the most destructive cyclone and hail storm which visited Blunt a short time ago. There were over 400 houses and buildings in the town previous to the storm and all but five were swept away in hve minutes, it was indeed a sickening sight to behold, and the wail of the wounded and dying was simply hcartrendering. The mot of the ieople had 'dugouts" where they had fled for safety and fortunately out of 1,700 ieople only twenty-six were killed. In another instance Mr. fox was seated at the dinner table enjoying the hospitahies of a jrairie farmer and his family when a little five-year-old daughter came in saying: "Oh. papa, a storm is coming! 1 seen it blow down Mr. Trimbell's house." All rushed out into the yard, when, sure enough, a great black cloud was plunging along like a ship ujion a stormy sea. They watched it take up the nearest house and lift it a hundred feet above the earth, and then shatter it into a thousand pieces. They then crept into their "dug-out,'' and in a moment their own house was gone. After the cyclone bad passed the hail began to fall like blocks of ice, some weighing five pounds and a quarter, shaped something like an old army eanteen. This may seem incredible," remarked Mr. Fox, "but it is true nevertheless." Don't Mind an Anaconda Bite. New York SJun. "Got some good looking anacondas, haven't we," asked a dealer in animals, stopping before a glass case. "It's fun to bear the re marks that ltcople make about them. me people in ten think they are poisonous, like rattlers, but there is no more harm in their bite than there is in a bedbug's. Their teeth are good for nothing except to hold their prey while they wrap themselves around it and squeeze it to death. Sav, doctor, just open the mouth and Ka's see his teeth." J he doctor, an amiable-looking tiorman attendant, with strong spectacles and grizzled beard, opened the littre door in the rear of the case, and the oVealer and the reporter stood directly behind him. He picked tip one of the big snakes. There was -a dart of th reptile's head, a wild tw isting and flopping, and then the dealer and the reporter went awav. When the first shock of surprise waa over they returned with circumspection. The Doctor had put the -anaconda back into the case and had lilted the door. "There," said ire, you can see the ize of his teeth from tlice bites. I didn't catch him nenr rnoneh to his head." There were six or eight little perforations along hisxmimD nax iookcci as n im-y uu lieen made with the voints of tacks. "Hurt? Why, no. An anaconda's bite Isn't anything, ami lie put urown paper on the holes and smiled. A Hdmaritlc Governor. New Yrk Tribune.! Xew Mexico has a new Governor who is certainly romantic if nothing more. Sev ern! aversions of his unrise inauguration have been given, but the following is the correct one: "On the morning of June IS, Governor "Sheldon was awakened at about 4 o'clock by a violent ringing of the door bell of the old Spanish palace, whieh is the residence of the New Mexican Governors. Hastily going to the door, with the idea that fire or a new In dian outbreak must have occasioned the un timely call, he found two ardent young Democrats there, who said that they were messengers from the new Governor, who unt Iii : comnlirr.ents and would anicar in person in a few minutes. Astonished at this strange proceeding, but unwilling to suggest a delay which might tie misconstrued. Governor Sheldon hastily completed his toilet and lighted his office, so as to be ready to recognize his successor. rcarceiy was mis uone wm-u .r. surrounded bv alout twenty of the "un terrified," appeared from the outside darkness, and, walking up to Governor Sheldon, said; "Governor, no doubt this requires

an explanation. You know it is the custom among Hittlo Indians to stand on the housetops at about this hour and watch for the coming of Montezuma, who is some day to appear at sunrise. 1 have thought that this would be an appropriate hour. for. the new Democratic Montezuma to take the oatli of Gthce." Though taken by surprise by this nove l idea, Governor Sheldon promptly rq died that he should think it was more"imiortant to impress one's self upon the intelligent American jopulation than on the Pueblo Indians. I'ndisturbed by this pratcical suggestion, Mr. Boss then se-nt a young man to rejort whether the sun had yet apiearcd over the mountains. He was soon informed that the jropitious hour had not yet arrived. The expectant office-seekers were therefore eom-l-elled to wait in solemn groups a short time longer. Another messenger was distiatched, but brought the same answer. The suA had not yet risen. A chilly silence ensued among the twenty. Finally a sentinel entered with the glad tfdings that the "glorious orb of day" was just visible over the mountain tops. A shout of joy met this announcement, and Judge Waldo, addressing Mr. Boss, said: "Governor, the hour has come for you to take the oath." And in a moment the "Democratic Montezuma" had become Governor of New Mexico. Sjieaking of the affrir later in the day, Governor Boss said: "People are apt to think me a very practical man, but really I am full of poetry and romance." Kvidently the Governor understands himself.

JMARK TWAIN'S PENSION. A Case of Mistaken Identity in Which the Humorist Fisuren. Washington social. Pes ently General Black addressed the following letter to Samuel Clements, Elma, X.

A Clinton, Ky., dog. who had leen the iet of Iiis master, quitted the house when the master one day brought home a wife. A fishing-rod was seen floating in a Connecticut stream, and it was evident that a big fish was at the end of the line. No boat being at hand, Charles Karie, of Xew Haven, sent his water-sjianiel after the rod. The dog grabbed the rod at the thic k end ami !egan to swim back with it, but the fish objected vigorously. Finally the dog was pulled comt'letely under water. He came to the top lowing, but still holding onto the rod. All went smoothly then until the dog was half w ay tothe shore, when the fish pulled him under again. The plucky clog finally succeeded ill landing the isIe at his master's feet, and the fish was taken. The Hour tells a story of a dog with a conscience. The owner of a Skye terrier had a dish of mutton cutlets for lunch, and when he had finished his repast there was one cutlet left on the cTish. lie ltegan reading his Saper, and appeared to take no notice of the og. The dog saw the cutlet, and his mouth watered. The he smelled of it, and was overcome by temptation. He seized the cutlet and bolted under the sofa, evidently expecting a whipping, but the master took no notice. Finally the dog without eating the meat, became conscience stricken, picked up the cutlet, laid it at his master's teet, hung his head, and slunk away. An Eccentric Theologian . The celebrated Professor Xeander was spending an evening out when rain began to fall, and the host begged his guest to put up with him for the night. The renowned theologist shook his head and said lie would willingly remain, but at present it was out of the question, as he had not his nightclothes with him. Suddenly it was discovered that the lrofessor had disapieared, but a half hour later he rushed in as suddenly as he had left. I le was wet through to the skin, but he Jsjinted with satisfac tion to a small jtackct in his hand. My night-clothes." he said naively. "Xow, my dear friend, I can stay with you!" The Professor had walked hoine in a tremendous rain-storm for the purioso of fetching his night-clothes. The Hebrew Ahead. Huston Advertiser.
