-~ THE SBTORY OF JONES & CO. I cuEss pa and ma was pretty rich one time, for when they came to California it was on their wedding tour and cost lots; they came by way of New York, and Washington, and Panama City, in a steamboat, and ma brought a maid to wait on her, and pa had a black feller named ¢ Jim,’”’ and when they got to California pa had lots of money. I was born at the Lick House, and you ought to see my baby clothes. Jones & Co. havgn-’t the kind of goods that them was, because Maud has draggled them all to pieces. Maud is the baby. Six years old Maud is, and it won't be “long before she will be a clerk in Jones & Co. First babies always have the nicest things. Masays first babies are like second wives. : - But [ keep getting away from Jones & Co. o < Well, lam of the opinion that after pa bought his house on Van Ness avenue, he went into stocks, whatever that means. ‘Going into stocks must be a very curious business, and sometimes pa came home looking splendid, and wanted to buy everything, and laughed at m 4 for being so mean, and not getting better clothes, and then he wanted to drive in the park and to the theater. One day he came home with' a brand-new carriage and a span of longtailed horses, and a negro coachman, and a funny little darkey for footman. It was for ma, and we¢ rode every day. Then sometimes pa came home and looked very blue, and talked about stocks, and I began to watch pa, and noticed that sometimes when he laughed loudest he looked just as if he wanted to cry, and then he sold the horses, and then the house, and the furniture was sent to auction, and ma she felt very bad, and pa wasn't like himself -any more, and never told me stories nor kissed me; and once when Baby Maud was asleep in his arms, he kissed her and cried, and when I told ma, she said she guessed padid not feel ve?‘ well, and that I musn’t notice it, and then she cried. e

~ After this we went to' a boarding- | - house-—a nasty mussg- boarding-house. b Eve?thing was well enough, only a - boarding-house ain’t ‘like home. * Then the baby came, and it .died, and ma almost died, and I heard pa say to the manp that kept the boarding-house that ‘‘he was pretty tight up, but it was all comin’ out right,’’ 'and the next day pa didn’t have any watch, nor any sleeve buttons. I didn’t seem to no-

~ tice it because I seen that may be (f)a. - had sold them to pay his board, and I | heard pa and ma talk away into the { night, and sometimes ma cried, and pa would look in the morning just as if he hadn’t slept a wink, and I don’t believe he had. Once it was dreadful. Pa came home tipsy, and I never seen ma feel so bad, ever: and then they talked it over, and finally ma went . home to grandpa’s, in New York, with .'-Maud, and I stayed with pa, to go to school. . Ly s ‘ . Then pa kept gej;tin% worse and worse, and we went to live in rooms and eat at restaurants, and pa stayed out late nights, and I guess he drank more than was good for him and I thought something had to be done. So I said to pa one day: ‘ Pa, less go into business and open a store.”’ And he laughed and said: ¢ What kind of a store?”’ ; : ; And [ said: *“Oh, a candy store, or a stationery store, ot a thread and needle store, just such as women keep and little girls help in.”’ | - And pa laughed and said he would think of it, an§ when he came home that night I asked him if he had thought about it, and 'he said he hadn’t, and I said he had better, and he said he - would, and that morning he 'didn’t go ~ out but stayed at home and wrote maa . long letter. : ; So next day I went into a store on . Polk street kept by a nice lady who had a bad husband, where they sold everything, and she said in France they called it lingerie. ‘ : : - I'didn’t know what that meant because it was French, and 1 asked her if she didn’t want to sell her store, and she said:

“Do you want to buy a store, little | gind?? ' And ]I said: **My pa does.” |And she smiled and said she guasse&' the . Sheriff would have a store to sell in a few days, and I said I would tell pa because he knew Mr. Nunan, the Sheriff. ‘lt was one of Mr. Nunan's men that 90ld pa's norses and furniture for him. ~ And the next day I told pa about the store and what a nice one it was, and he said he had been a dry-goods man once, had had a large store, and sold silk dress-goods, and velvets, and furs, and laces, worth ever so much a yard, and India shawls worth more than a thousand dollars apiece.: : . I don’t know exactly what pa did, but I think something ‘‘turned up’’ a few days afterward, for 1 heard him say he had made a ¢ raise,”’ and he showed me more than a thousand dollars in gold notes, and for a dai or two he carried them in a side pocket, and ~ mostly kept his hand over them for fear they would jump out and fly away; and pa bought me some shoes " and & hat, and stuff for aprons, and I made them myself, and I never saw pa look so 'hspév since ma went away; and one day he said tome:

““Vevie, I have bought the store on Polk street, and you are to be my saleswoman and partner.”’ : And sure enough, in a few days we went into the store, and over the. door was a great_bifsign of ‘“Jones & C 0.,” and pa said I was the ‘“Co.”” And when I said, ‘‘and so, pa, you are ¢ Jones,” he blushed, ang I guess he didn’t like his old friends to know that ‘he was selling needles, and thread, and ta%g and things. o : e had two snug little rooms in the back of the store to sleep in, and I made pa’'s bed and swept out the rooms, and tidied things. At first pa shut up the store when he had to go down town on business, but after a little while I tended it and when there were two customers in the store I waited on one, and it wasn’t long before I could make change and sell things, and add up almost asgood as pa cou%d; and by-and-by when he went down town I tended store, and we had splendid times. We went out to a nice place across the street for our meals. I tended store ;vhen pawent and pa tended store when went. .

One day pa came in and looked dreadful troubled, and then I said, ‘‘Pa, ain’'t I a partner, and don’t partners have a right to know everything, and ain’t you hiding something about Jones ‘& Co.?”’” And then I found out that pa had bought too many things for the store, and that a note for a thousand dollars had to be paid, and there wasn’t any money. to pay it with, and that’s what made dpa. feel bad. And then I thought and thought, and wondered how I could get a thousand dollars, and 1 kept on thinking over everybody that I guessed had a thousand dollars, and everfv one I guessed had it I guessed wouldn’t let it to pa. And then I thought about Mr. Flood, - and said, “I'll go down to his bank and get it, for he’s got more than a thousand millions, and down in the Bank of Nevada the cellar is full of gold, and of course he don’t want to use it all the time, and I will borrow a thousand dollars for pa, and before Mr. Flood wants it I'll take it back to him, and pay the interest.”” And then I jumped up and hurrahed for ““Jones & C 0.,” took my ‘best bonnet, and put on my gloves, and took off my store apron, and combed my hair, and got into a car and went to the Nevada Bank, and told the clerk I wanted to borrow a thousand dollars; and he laughed and said he ¢¢ guessed I had better see Mr. M'Lane.”” And I asked who Mr. M’Lane was. The clerk said Mr. M’Lane was the President, and was in the back room, and I went int((; the back-room, and Mr. M’'Lane said: .

“ Well, little girl, what can I do for you?”’ : And I said: ‘“I want to borrow a thousand dollars.’! ; Mr. M’Lane he opened his eyes, and screwed his chair round, and looked at me, and said, ‘“A thousand dollars!”’ with as much surprise as though a thousand dollars was all the money he had in the bank. Then'l 'befan to get scared and cry, and then I told Mr. M’Lane all about pa and ‘“Jones & C 0.,” and what we wanted to do with the money, and that I would pay it back to him; and he looked kinder puzzled, and’ asked me what my pa’s name was, and I told him, and where the store was, and all about ma, and Maud, and how the baby died. I:guess that was not very much like business, and I don’t know what Mr. M’'Lane wanted to know all that for. Then he looked at me again, and I guess he wasn’t going to let.me have the money, when a gentleman at the other desk came up to where I was sitting on a chair, and Mr. M’Lane said: ‘¢ Well, Flood, .what do you think of this young merchant?” And then I knew it was the rich Mr. Flood; and I looked into his eyes, and they kind of laughed, and he said: ‘¢ Let her have the money. 1 will indorse her note.”” Then f jumped up and kissed him, and he kissed me back, and Mr. M'Lane made a note for ninety days, and Isignedit ‘“Jones & C 0.,” and Mr. Flood wrote his name on the back of it. 1 took the money away in a canvas bag, that Mr. M'Lane said I must bring back, and I took the Money to pa, and didn’t he look surprised when I poured out the great big gold twenty-dollar pieces on the counter? Then I told him just what happened at the bank, and when I . asked himif he didn’t think I was a pretty good business woman after .all, I guess he felt real shamed. ’

In a few days a beautiful carriage drove up to the door, and a nice young lady came in and bought nearly twenty dollars’ worth of things. I never sold so many goods to any one person before, and the young lady was real kind, and helped me {0 add up the bill. I saw pa didn’t offer to he;llp me at all, and looked kinder comical when she and me was puzzled over the figures to get them-all right. The nines troubled me dreadful in adding, and so I have got in the way of making figures either fives or nothings, so they will add up easier. When the young lady drove away, I went to the carriage and saw the letter “F’’ on the panel and on the harness. *F,” said I to myself; I wonder who it can be?’’ |1 should have thought that it was Miss Flood, only she hadn’t any diamonds in her ears or on her fingers, and was dressed just only nice and pluin; and [said ¢of course it wasn't Miss Flood?”’

After this, I never see anything like it—such lots of carriages and such nice ladies kept coming every day, and most all of them traded with-me, and pa was just as pleased and happy as he could be. Jones & Co. was making iots of money. When I took Mr. Flood's money back, I just marched right through the bank, past the big counters, into Mr. M’ Lane’s room, and I took very good care to let the clerk that laughed at me before, see the bag. Mr. Flood was in there,and Mr. M’Lane, and I opened the ba{ and turned out the money on Mr. M’Lane’s desk, and Mr. l’loog came up and laughed, and Mr. M'Lane laughed, and I heard Mr. Flood tell Mr. M’Lane they would have that ohamﬁaigne lunch to-day. And g:)exi Mr. Flood told me if}tiw’an%d to rrow money again notto go to any of the other bq,nis. but t& come g his, and I thanked him, and Mr. M’Lane brought me my note, cancélled by a frea.t, blue “Paid’ stamp across the ace, right over where 1 wrote *‘Jones & Co.” Then 1 told Mr. Flood that

perhaps when we felt able to send for ma I should come and borrow some more money, because I wanted to buy a house for ma and Maud, so that they wouldn’t have to go into any more nasty boardinf-houses, and Mr. Flood said I should have all the moneyl wanted. Mo Then we sent for ma and Maud. Grandpa gave ma the money to come, ‘and so we didn’t have to borrow any more; and we took a nice cottage, not very near the store, for pa didn't want ma to know about Jones & Co., though' I was just crazy to tell her. j For several days we fooled her. She thought pa had a store down town, and. I was going to school. I told lots of fibs about being detained at school, going down town, and all sorts of stories to account for being home late. One day who should I see coming into the Store but ma! i

¢¢ Have you any pearl shirt-buttons, little girl?’’ said ma. ‘““Yes, ma'am,” said 1, looking her right square in the face. ' - * Goodness gracious!”’ said ma, ‘ls that ¥ou, Vevie?”’ I/said: ¢ Beg pardon, ma’am, what did you want?’ And then ma looked at me again. : -1 had a store apron on, and a small cap like a French girl, and because I wasn't very high, pa bought me a pair of wooden brogans, with felt on the bcttoms, into which I slipped my feet, and they made me about four or five inches taller. And ma stared at me, and then laughed and said: - ¢“Oh! Ibeg your pardon, little girl. You looked so much like my daughter Genevieve that I thought you was her.” Then 1 heard pa snicker down behind ‘the counter; he had seen ma come in, and hid. Just assoon as ma went out pa jumped up and laughed, and said: ‘‘Snatch off yourapron and cap, Vevie, and run round the block and get home before your mother.”’ o I.did, and when ma got home sha was the most surprisedest woman you ever seen. We knew ' this thing couldn’t last, and so that night we told ma all about the house of ‘‘Jones & Cu.,”” and ma kissed pa, and said he was a *“splendid, noble fellow, and just as good as gold,” and that she ‘‘never was so proud of him in all her life,”’ and fell to kissing him and to crying and takingon. 1 never saw ma act so foolish in all her life, and pa said she ‘ was making love to him over again.” Well, now, the story is about over. ‘Ma came down to the store to heip. At first she looked kinder sheepish, especially when some lady came in that she had known at the Lick House; but soon she got over all that, and began to make bonnets, and we had a milliner store; and then she insisted upon Baving the expense of- a separate house, and we moved into - a larger store next door, with nice rooms ftixed up to live in, and a nice show-window for bennets, and little Maudie is beginning to,be handy about, and all of us work, and we-are just ashappy asthe day’s long, and we have lots of money. . I have never seen Mr. Flood but once since, when I went down to the bank unbeknown to pa, and I told Mr. Flood and Mr. M'Lane that any time they wanted to borrow a thousand dollars ‘“Jones & Co.”” would lend it to them; and they laughed, and I said ¢ they couldn’t tell, stocks might go down;” and then Mr. Flood said, ¢“if all the people he had given and loaned money to would pay it back as I had, he didn’t think he would get busted in a long time.” i : And then I saw the clerk thatlaughed at me, and I smiled at him and bowed, and since then he has been buying all his gloves ‘at the store. I told him I thought he used a great many pairs of gloves, and he said they wore out very fast counting the money. He is dreadful particular about his gloves, and if there is nobody in the store but me he is sometimes half an hour picking out just the kind he wants. o ‘Pa has bought a splendid gold watch —a real stem-winder—and we—Jones & Co.—have bought a nice large lot out cn Gov. Stanford’s new cable railroad, and paid for it, and if times are good this summer, as pa thinks they will be, we shall have a house of our own again, where we shall all live in peace, die in Greece, and be buried in a cake of tallow.

A Bold Diamond Robbery. INFORMATION has been received that about four months since a heavy and successful diamond robbery took place in this city, the victims being William Wendell & Co., the well-known jewellers at No. 35 North Peagl street. The police were apprised of the facts of the case on the same day that the robbery took place, but maintained a profound an&) impenetrable secrecy, but neither have the thieves been secured nor the property recovered. The manner in which the robbery was perpetrated shows the operators to have been experts at the business. The trick was what is known as the ‘¢ handshaking dodge.”” At about twelve o'clock two men drove up to the store in a carriage and alighted. They were well dressed, and had the appearance of being retired merchants. No. 1 entered, and no sooner had he put his foot inside the store than he began to shake Mr. Wendell heartily by the hand, continuing the greeting for several minutes, and exhibiting more than ordinary or normal interest and satisfaction in the operation. He chatted with Mr. Wendell familiarly, like an old acquaintance, though the merchant was unable to place him. While this was going on No. 2 proceeded to one of the showcases and helped himself to something over %2,400 worth of diamonds and jewelry. The polite and affable strangers then bowed themselves out, took their carriage and drove rapidly away. The robbery was not discovered until some time after their departure, and too late to trace them.—Albany (N. ¥.) Argus. '

EvVERY farmer may not be able to reach the maximum of production, yet he can make his land produce what he needs and what an accommodating mai ket will pay him well for, when he has it in excess of home wants. No farmer in the land, however pour his soil may be at the outset, has any excuse for not making every acre contribute to his own and the general good.—Ezxchange. - : : . THE prospect is not bright in Vermont. A man writing from Orleans County, Vt., says: * l\%oney is loaned at from 6to 8 per cent. interest and good security. Men are slow to borrow money to pay debts, as the indications are that it is about as well to fail now as to postpone the time. Many farms are mortgaged, and the occupants work in a sort of sullen despair, waiting the time when the money-lend-er. will see that it is for his interest to take the home from the debtor.” A New J ERSEYpapersa(irs that ninety years ago it was regarded as a settled point that corn in drills gave a larger product than in hills, but that now, after much discussion, it remains unsettled. The remark would not be made by anyone who has informed himself on the subject. We have thoroughly tested this question by measuring the results, and find almost uniformly an increase of 25 to 30 per cent. with drill corn over hills, provided the proper distance is given for the plants. 1t would be easy to obtain a diminished amount from the drills if too thinly :planted; or ears of an inferior qnuality, if much. too thick.— Country Gentleman.

To RoAST A LOIN OF MUTTON.—The loin is the most tender, delicate joint of the sheep. It is, however, too fat tfor roasting, unless it be trimmed into the form called by the butchers the stravght loin; the flap, the skin and the greatest part of the fat being pared away, leaving the joint narrow and neat in form. It should then be jointed, that it may be carved conveniently, if in a family where it is usual to separate the joints rather than slice the meat; but the most approved way is to cut slices lengthwise, as in the saddle. The fat should be covered with paper till the mutton is nearly roasted; if of a moderate size, an hour and a half will be long enough to cook it. It may be sent in with currant jelly.— Western Rural.

’ Preparation for Farming. - SUPERFICIALITY is an American fault in the preparation of the individval for the duties of life. Our colleges as a whole are not thorough enough in their courses of instruction; our young men enter upon the practice of the so-called learned professions with a very imperfect preparation. Law schools and medical schools are annually turning out members of these professions, in armies, who are almost as unqualified for their business as they would be for 4 business that they had never even thought of; and as to the farm, no ‘preparation at all is thonght to be necessary among a very.large clags. Our agricultural colleges and scm;‘(as have done something to correct thig error, and so far as'they have devoted themselves to the accomplishment of the legitimate object for which they were created—the making of competent farmers—they are .worthy of all commendation. By connecting education with labor, and seeking to have them go hand in hand, they have been of incalculable benefit. The East has, to some extent, felt the needs which the farmers of England feel. The natural fertility of the soil having been exhausted, and the Eastern farmer being compelled ' to compete with those on the vast srairies of the West, it' has been found necessary to till the soil more scientifically; or with the lessons which e‘x‘?erience has taught many have come West and have been growing constantly in intelligence. Whatever the causes may have been or may now be it matters littie so long as it is a fact that our agriculturalists are doing their work more intelligently than formerly, and although our progress is by no means as rapid as we could desire, progress is nevertheless being made, and if we could only cause the fact that agriculture is a science made up of various sciences to be generally recognized, we should have done enough to elevate the farm to its proper position. Then a young man contemplating the business of agriculture as a life work would first seek to qualify himself, as he would if he had determined to enter upon a professional or mercantile career, and with the génerally good common practical sense which characterizes boys and young men who properly appreciate the farm:, they would no doubt more thoroughly prepare themselves for their business than young men who enter upon the prosecution of other kinds of business usually prepare themselves. ‘The highest order of intelligence at every step is absolutely necessary to insure success. Itis true that the ignorant may stumble upon success in any department of life, but where one acuieves success by accident a thousand fail. In a country so generally fertile as this, it does not make much difference where an intelliﬁent, entmi?r.isi'ng man ‘does settle. All are familiar with the history of Vineland, N.J. Some years gﬁf 8 maw purchased a tract of woodland some miles

from Philadelphia, laid out a town, and by reason of extensive advertising, sold the land readily for twenty-five dollars an acre. But the purchasers knew nothing of the nature of the soil or the reqirements of agnculture. They flocked into the new settlement from the cities and New England States, upon the representation thatit wasa land running with milk and honey, when in fact it was the poorest description of poor New Jersey land, and while they were a{ing, or trying to pay, twenty-five (Fol ars an acre for it, very much of really good land could be bou%ht in that State for that sum. Most of them paid very dearly for their ignorance, and the original owner paid as dearly for his deception in the end. The town was established, however, and intelligence at last stepped in and the soil was improved until even that thin, sandy soil has been made to yield as fertilly as a garden. This provides an excellent illustration of both the cost of ignorance and the worth of intelligence. Men who knew anything about soil would not touch it originally, but after the dupes had gone and expended their money in the erection of ;buildinfs and in beautifying the town, intelligent men came along, paid what the improvements had made the land’ worth, and set about to make their investment profitable. No one wishes, however, to be the pioneer in opening new settlements, which afterward become desirable, at any such cost, and if there is a complete understanding of the nature of soils, no one need be.— Western Rural. 3

Younger Stock. - e - THE tendency among good feeders is to have all kinds of animals raised for meat ready for market at a greatly reduced age. Breeds that mature esrly are wisely in demand. And plans to push stock rapidly are being earnestly studied out. Steers must be ready for market at two years old, as heavy as formerly at four. And it is demonstrated that hogs at ten months old can be produced as heavy as they used to be at two years. And lambs of the mutton breed can be made to bring as much at five months as sheep at twop vears of age. Early maturing animals can be raised at a profit, while the slow ones eat their heads off and the body. will be taken to pay two years’ taxes on the same.

It is true, it requires more devotion to business—more skill and care in the supervision of the farm, but at the same time it saves the expense and exposure to vice in -loaﬁn% about towns. Get good stock of all kinds, then from birth keep them thriving, growing and fattening. Give them no rest, but get them fat and into market and off your hands as soon as possible. ‘Be sure they are fat and ready for market. With your money pay your debts and taxes and stop interest. Then commence on other animals and push them in the same manner. The old fogy way of raising steers, hogs and mutton has played out, and those who continue to follow the old way have or will soon go West. It takes men of enterprise to win either on the farm or in professional circles. Study to know the breeds which mature early and which late. Investigate the question of what to feed, and how te feed it. Learn to know when to sell, and how to sell. Congquer the problem of how to get out of debt, and the still more diflicult one of how to keep out.—lowa State Regisler. o - s * ——e el O - : —Miss-behavior—A young ledy’s deportment, :

' Advice to Consumptivess The celebrated physician, Dr. Paul Memeyer, gives the following valuable sugcestions to rersons suffering from lung affections: ¢“The patient must with scrupulous conscientiousness insiet upon breathing fresh, pure air, and must remember that the air of elosed rooms is always more or less bad. * * % No' man, however uncleanly, would drink muddy, dirty water. A party which occupies a room. for hours, breathing the same air, might be compared to a party of bathers drinking the water in which they bathe.
