Its front, a breadth of satin, was a garden of roses, violets, pansies and pinks, while not to set aside fashjon’s stern decrees, sunflowers turned their constant faces to the light. —An English farmer who had emigrated to Canada returned not long ago taking with him _as great curiosities about twenty Colorado beetles. Some of them escaped and the farmer was fined £5 for allowing them to.get away. The matter has been made the subject of an inquiry in the House of Commons. —Early in February two German women, Frau Schmidt and Frau Feustel, living at Zeitz, in Prussian Saxony, and in addition living i the same house and on ‘the same floor, were each on the same day, delivered of three children, and they were all boys. Probably such a singular coincidence never before occurred. E . _ —Mr. F. O. C.

Miramon's compass is from C to F in alt.; Gerster's from B to F sharp in alt.; Carey’s from Fto B flat. The present principal soprana (bey) of: Trinity Church has a compass from Eto B, with a voice light and flexible; another from B flat to (5, full and strong, though not flexible. A German boy of the same choir seven years ago had a compass from C to G in alt.,, over two octaves, fairly even throughout, and strong. There is no difficulty in getting a good high A from the chorus sopranos of this choir. :

—The passing passion of New York girls is for children just old: enough to walk. Pet dogs are discarded for the time being, and the fashionable belle lead instead a little toddler by the hand. The object is to be regarded- by strangers as a youthful and interesting' moths er. ‘ Lend me your baby this afternoon,”’ is the common request to genuine mothers by maidens. “Going a distance of four blocks on Fifth Avenue,” says a correspondent, ‘‘ I met three girls of not more than nineteen demurely leading tiny children and counterfeiting a maternal air. Sometimes the attractive offspring of poor parents are borrowed, dressed carefully and taken out. The freak is new and wonderful.” —Rabbits are making their way again in Victoria, Australia, One district is reported to be completely overrun, and the farmers who are open to their depredations have to make common causé to keep them down. Thisthey do, unfortunately, with very little success, for the rabbits breed conveniently in the low, impassable scrub and them come out to feed on the farmers’ crops in the neighborhood. 'The scrub, however, belongs to the Government, which is now called upon to put down this nuisance.. Enthusiasts in acclimatization ought to be careful what tricks they play in the matter of transplantatign. That philosopher who originally brought the rabbit into Australia will need no monument. : —A discovery of much archzological interest has recently been made in the Algerian Sahara. M. Tarry, who has been carrying on work.in connection with the proposed Trans-Sahara Railway, having noticed a mound of sand in the neigfiborho_od of Wargia, had the sand dugup and discovered the top of a spherical dome. This naturally aroused his interest, and getting his Arabs to dig still deeper, he found underneath the dome a square tower, then a platform of masonry.and finally acomplete mosque. Continuing the excavations, M. Tarry soon unearthed seven houses in perfect preservation and came upon a subterranean watercourse. At the last news nine houses had been disinterred and M. Tarry was gettin% additional, assistance to clear out the precious watercourse, which he describes as sufficient to irrigate a small forest of alms. It is well known that the SaEam was at one time much more populous than it is now, and its trade much more extensive, but no one seems n? have supposed that cities had been buried undgr_ita sands so recently as since the introduction of Mohammedanism.

. A Big Scheme. “I've got the biggest scheme of the age,” said a man about forty years old, as he dropped into a chair by the city editor's desk in the Banner editorial room this morning. He wore a brin-dle-colored duster, and his head gear, an ancient plug, hid his ears from view. ‘Have, eh?’ said the person addressed. ' ‘““ Yes, sir-ee. Biggest thing you ever heard of. .It'll revolutionize the Hhull country. Make me rich, and you rich, and everybody rich.” “ You don’t appear to be very rich.”’ “I don't. ’Cause why? L've been foolin’ away my time just like you are doing now.. I've worked harder than a mule for three years, and not a cent laid up. About three weeks ago an idee struck me kinder suddent-like. I begun to think. I laid awake nights and thought. Finally, about four o'clock this morning, while lying in bed thinking, I suddenly riz up, and my wife she says, *‘ What's the matter? Got a nightmare?’ 1 told her no, that 1 was going to be rich. She called me an old fool, and turned over and went to sleep. But I was too happy to sleep. I got up and walked around till breakfast, and then I set out for your office. I had heard that you were willing to help the poor, and so I says to myself, “I'll contide my secret to the Banner.) "’ I

1 “Possibly you've found a pot of gold?” : : A - “No; my scheme is this: There are thousands and millions of men in this country who are rich. There are more who are not rich. Now, my scheme is to have these rich men help the poor men to get rich. See? And when we are 21l rich what a beautiful world we'll have. How do I propose to do this? For instance, I propose that every man and woman in the State who can afford it shall give me fifty cents. That will make me rich. See? I will take that money and start me a family grocery, and then we rich men will take up a similar collection for you, and then you are rich. Then with you on our list we'll take up the next man and make him rich, and so on, until everybody is on the rich list. Sce how it works. Beautiful, isn’t it?"’ ' : “] guess it is.” . : ® (), it's a boss. | It's a wonder somebody didn’t think of it before. So simple, you know. Why, we can all be bondholders in a few years, and own ‘stock in railroads and canals and National banks.” ' v ¢ Well?”? . ‘I want you to publish the scheme and let the people know what we are doing, and tell ’em where to send their fifty centses—Elijah Pudd, Station D, Nashville, Tenn. You see, I, being the originator of the plan, ought to be made rich first, so as to show ’em how it works. Now, the honor of organizing the plan is glory enough for me; so, if you say so, I'll let.you have the privilege of paying in the first half dollar, and you can pay it now, and I'll enter your name on the fly-leaf of this book, mentioning in brackets that you are the first man. Shall I put you down for fifty cents?”’ : ) *“I don't think I care to.” , : “No? Remember, it's nothing to me who puts his name down first. It's a privilege that will be granted to but few. If you want you can pay me twen-ty-five cents now and hand me the rest at another time. Shall I put down twenty-five cents? No? Then I'll be more liberal still; give me ten cents and I'll enter your name and give you credit for the full amount. No? I'll go; and as you won't give me a dime, maybe you wouldn’t mind loaning ‘me a chew of tobacco? No? All right;’ and he passed out. , ! . An hour later the reporter found him working on the streets with the chainEang, and, as he passed along, heard im mutter: ‘‘lt’s' a mighty poor man who won't give ten cents toward making: another man rich.”—Nashville (Tenn.) Banner. :

One Honest Man. . The other day six men sat around a stove in a Detroit tobacco store. There had been along period of silence when one of them rubbed his leg and remarked: ““ That old wound feels as if it was going to openagain. I shall always remember the battle of Rich Mountain.” There was a slight.stir around the stgve, and a second man put his hand to his shoulder and observed: *“ And I shall not soon forget Brandy Station. Feels to-day as if the lead was going to work out.”’ The interest was now considerably increased, and the third man knocked the ashes off his cigar and said: ‘‘ Yes, those were two hard fights, ? you ought to have been with Nelson t Franklin. Lor’, but wasn’t I excited that day! When those two finfiers went with'a grape-shot I never felt the pain!” The fourth man growled out’something about Second Bull Run and asabrecut on the head, and the fifth man felt of his left side and said he should always. remember the lay of the ground at the Yellow Tavern. The sixth man was silent. The other five looked at him and waited for him to speak, but it was along time before he pointed to his empty sleeve and asked: e : ‘¢ Gentlemen, do you know where I got that?”’ . Some mentioned one battle and some another, but he shook his head sadly and continued: : | * Boys, let’s be honest and own right up.. Ilost my arm by a buzz-sagw, and now we will begin on the left and give every one a chance to clear his conscience. Now, then, show your wounds.’’ The five men leaned back in their chairs and smoked fast and chewed hard and looked at each other, and each one wished he was in Texas when a runaway horse flew by and gave them a chance to rush out and get clear of the one-armed man. It was a narrower escape than any one of them had during the war.—Detroit Free Press.

! THE BROKEN PEG. In a' small town, not far from the River Rhine, there was a large dam, built, in great part, of heavy timbers, which shut in the waters of a stream that ran into the river a few miles below. Quite a larg® body of water was thus held back by the dam, while below it the stream was narrow and shallow. In the dam was a sluice-gate, which could be raised by a lever, and. by which the water could be let off, whenever it was necessary. It was not a very tight Eate, and a good deal of water ran through its cracks; but that did not matter, for there wus plenty of water- left for the uses of the townspeople. : L On the top of this dam, which was wide enough to serve as a bridge, - four children were amusing themselves one summer day. Oscar, the largest boy, had put on a bathing-dress, which was nothing more than a pair of short trousers, and had;climbe& down to the stream, to see if he could take a swim. ‘But he had found that the swimmiang did not amount to much, for there was only one place—a moderately deep pool just under the sluice-gate—where he could have any chance of striking out with his arms and legs. So he soon climbed up again to the top of the dam. He would have been: glad’ to bathe in the great pond above the dam, but that was not allowed. Little Lotta, the only girl in the Earty, had been watching Oscar, and ad lost her cap, which had tumbled off into some bushes below, at the side of the stream. She had called to Oscar toif;et it, for her,’ but he was already halt-way up the face of the dam, and he did not want to go back. He was not related to Lotta, and she had two brothers there. lf she wanted her cap, one of them could go down and get it. He did not consider that it was not a gleasant thing for a boy, with his. orinary clothes on, to scramble down the wet face of the dam. L - Lotta began to cry, and her younger brother, Peter, said he would roll up his trousers and go down for her cap. This, however, ' made Carl, her other brother, laugh. He said he would try to %etfthe cap with a stick, and if he could not reach it he would go down himself. He was nearly as big as Oscar, and could climb just as well., _ ~ So he got a long stick, and, taking this in one nand, he got over the edge of the dam, holding with his other hand to a peg which was driven into a beam that ran along the to(i). Then he braced his teet against the dam, and grasping the peg very tightly, he reached down toward the cap with his stick. 1t was a white muslin cap, and hung lightly on the edge of the bush. Ii he could but hook his stick into any part of it it would be easy to bring it up. ‘ He had just \yorkeg his stick under the front of it when crack! went the peg and down went Carl! : scar, just before this, had reached the top of the dam, and had run into the house near by to dress. Little Lotta and Peter were so astounded when they saw Carl go down, and heard the great splash beneath, that they just stood for a moment with their mouths open. Then they began to cry and ran off to find somebody to help. : Oscar soon came running out of the house, and some men who happened to be working near by were attracted by thé children’s cries, and went to them. .

When they heard the story. they all hurried to the dam and looked over, but there was nothing to be seen of Carl. Then the men, with Oscar, ran to the end of the dam and hufried down to the edge of the stream. One of them wadeg in, and felt, with his bare feet, all over the bottom of the pool. He thought Carl. might have been ssunned by the fall, and was lying there. But he did not find him. Perhaps he had been carried down the stream, one of them suggested; but this was not likelv, as the water was so shallow below the pool. ' Still, the men, with Oscar and the two children, went down the stream for some distance, examining it closely. But there was no sign of Carl Then the men came to the conclusion that the boly had not fallen off the dam at all, or else that he had jumped out of the water and gone home in a hurry. He certainly was not drowned, ' for, if that had been the case, they could have found him. So they grumbled a little, and went back to their work, while Lotta and Péter ran home to see if their brother was there. Z When the peg broke, Carl instinctively gave a great push with his feet, and this causea him to turn completely over, so that he went into the pool feet foremost. : , The distance which he fell was not great, and the water broke his fall; but it was a very much astonished and startled boy who, for a moment, floundered and splashed in that pool. - When he could really see where he was, he half-swam, half-waded to the shore, and ran up the bank as fast as he could go. As soon as he had recovered a little from the confusion into which this sudden accident had thrown his mind, he be%lan to wonder if his body was all right. So he kicked out his legs, and he threw cut his arms, and soon found that nothing was the matter with any art of him. But he noticed that he Eeld in his hand the peg to which he had clung when he was reaching for his sisier’s calp. 1t seemed strange that he should still tightly grasp this little stick; but people often do such things when excited. - Carl looked at the peg with a good deal of interest. “It's an inch and a half thick!’ he exclaimed, ** and made of hard wood.

It ought not to have broken so easily. 0h0,%’ see! Here is a knot, right where it broke, and there must have been an old crack there, for only half of the break looks fresh.” . At this discovery, Carl grew very angry. ) - ‘‘A pretty man,” he cried, ‘‘to put in such a peg for people to hold to! lam going to speak to him about it this minute. It was Franz Holman who built the dam, and, of course, ke put the ge% in. I might have Kkilled myself, an shall just tellhim what I think about it.”’ So, without considering his wet clothes, nor his little sister and brother, whom he had so suddenly left on the bridge, he ran off to the shop of Franz Holman, on the outskirts of the town. He found the carpenter outside of his shop, hewing some logs. “ Hello!" ecried Carl, running up. ““Didn’t you build the dam, down yonder?”’ The man stopped his work, and looked with amazement at this earnest and flushed young fellow, without a hat, and with the water still dripping from his hair and his clothes. -~ ¥Yea' he said. ‘1 built it—the timber part, I mean. What is the matter with it? You don’t mean to say that is has broken?”’ ‘¢ No, it hasn’t,”” replied Carl. <‘But this peg has broken, and it came near killing me. If you built the dam, of course you put the peg in, and I think it’s a shame to use pegs with knots and cra;?ks in them, for people to hold on o : ‘“ People needn't hold on to them, if they don’t wan’t to,”’ replied the carpenter. ‘‘Let me see the peg.” - ““You can look at it in my hands,” said Carl. ¢ I don’t intend to giveit to you. Look at that old erack under the: knot? And people do have to hold on to it, or else tie something to it. What else was it put there for?’’ : ¢« Pshaw!’ said Franz. ‘‘You are making a great bother about a little thing. Any peg might break with a great, heavy boy, like you, hanging to it

““Not if it was as thick as this and had no knots in it,”’ said Carl, walking away, quite as angry as he came, for he saw that the carpenter cared nothing at all for his mishap, nor for his own reputation in the martter of pegs. When Lotta and Peter reached home they found no Carl, and when they told their mother what' had lm]ppened, she was greatly frightened. ithout waiting to put anything on her head, and followed by several neighbors who had been attracted by her cries, she ran to the dam. On the way, quite a number of people ran out of their houses and shops to see what was the matter, and these all followed the poor mother; so that when they reached the bank of the pool there was quite a little crowd collected. A new search was immediately begun, but it was soon very evident that Carl was not in the stream. There was a great- deal of confusion, and advice, of every imaginable kind, was given by the by-standers to the men' who' were making the search. Some even thought that the pond, above the dam, ought to be dragged, as if the boy could possibly have been in that. " While all this was going on, and Lotta and Peter were crying, and some of the older men and women were trying to comfort the poor, distressed mother, who was certain that she had lost her boy, Carl came walking down among them, with the broken peg still in his hand. He had been home, and finding no one there had come+to look for the family, supposing that Peter and Lotta, at least, might be playing by the dam. When he saw the crowd, he was almost as much astonished as the crowd was to see him. He was still hatless, and wore his wet clothes, although the air and the sun had dried them a good deal. The moment his mother saw him, she rushed to him and caught him in her arms, while little Lotta and Peter clung to his legs. The people gathered around him and, as soon as he could get a chance to speak, they eagerly asked him where he had been, and how everything had happeinied. Carl told them about the broken peg, and how it had bhad a knot in it, and how he had been up to see Franz Holman about it, who didn't care a snap of his finger whether people tumbled off dams and broke their necks or not. Then he passed around the peg, so that everybody could see that he was right in what he said about it, and that it was not his own fault that he fell from the tog of the dam. : : ome of the good people laughed as they looked at the peg, while others said that Franz Holman ought to know better than to use a piece of wood like that for such a purpose; but the most of them seemed to thiuk the broken peg was a matter of very little consequence. They were glad the boy was safe, and there was an end of the matgor. -, But it happened that two or three of the principa¥ men of the town had been attracted to the stream by the crowd, and an idea struck the mind of one of these. “If Franz Holman was so careless as to use wood like this, in a peg which should have been a very strong one, he may have been equally carelessin building the dam itself. And, now that I come to look, it seems to me that the water is running through a great many cracks and crevices.”’

Several persons now examined the face of the dam, amd they thought that it did indeed look very leaky. It was not strange that this had not been noticed before, for it was very seldom that any one, excepting boys, came { down to the bed' of the stream under the dam. After a little consultation among the older townsmen it was t;houg?xt that the dam might be weak, and that it ought to be carefully examined. Accordingly, the very next ddy. several carpenters—and Franz Holman was not among them—were seé to work to make a careful oxamination of the condition of the timbers, and they soon found that many of them were very 1 rotten, and that Holman, in trying to make as much profit as he could out of his work, had put in timbers which had been taken from an old bridge that-had J been torn down, and which were, prob-. ably, unfit for use when they were put into the woodwork of the dam. Now, they were certainly unfit to stand the strain put upon them by the great body of water in the dam. ' - This discovery excited a great deal of indignation against Holman, for if the dam had given way the whole body

of water in the pond instantly would have poured down into the valley of the stream, where, 8 short distance below, there were a number of small cottages inhabited by poor families. Had the accident occurred in the night these houses might have béen swept away with all their occupants. : The sluice-gate was opened and the water a.llowefto flow gradually out of the pond. When the water was low enough, the old dam was to be taken down and a new and strong one built. Some of the officials of the town went to see’ Franz Holman, to call him to an account for his dishonest workmanship, but they did not see ‘him. He did not want to talk to any one about the dam, and had gone away in the night, taking all his tools with him in his wagon, and leaving, unfinished, the work on which he was engaged. o : As they walked home from their unsuccessful visit the good- townsmen began to talk of young Carl, whose strange accident. had probably prevented a sad disaster to the town. One of them proposed making him a present, and Whén 1t was objected that the boy ought not to be rewarded simply for getting a tumble from the top of a dam, this man asserted that if it had not been for Carl's sturdy earnestness in charging Holman with his bad work, and in afts erward bringing the attention of the towns-people to it, no one would have thought of examining the dam. ~ This view of the case was thought a fair one, and when the matterhad been considered for a day or two it was determined that the town should send Carl to school. He was known to be a Eood. smart boy, but his mother, who lad lost her husband, could not afford to give her eldest son the education he ought to have. : - When Carl was told that he was to have a new suit of clothes, and was to be sent to school to Baroles—a town about five miles'away, from which he could walk home on Sundays and holidays —he was' delichted. To go to school to Baroles was a thing he' had longed for, during more than a year. And his mother was just as glad as he was, and very proud of him besides. “What I want,”” said Oscar—the big boy who had been on the dam with Carl and the others—*‘is to find a rotten peg.?’ = But he never found one.—Paul Fort, wn St. Nicholas. .

Plowing in the Dew. ! It has been very well observed that the foot of the owner is the best manure for a piece of land. - The saying about enriching a field by plowing in the dew is similarly founded. Both are figures of speech, expressive of the advantages sure to follow close on assiduous attention and industry. As to repeated summer plowing, there' are soils that benefit by it greatly. They are such as have little circulation of air, either from its being excluded much of the year by water, or from its ‘being shut out by compact texture or surface crust. All soils are more or less benefited by stirring when the temperature is high enough to admit of the germinative process. The soil must ‘“ breathe ’ as well as the plant of the animal. As the want of full breathing of pure air leads to hlood poisoning, so does the want of air through' the soil allow of the formation of combinations injurious to vegetation, while, on the contrary, its sutlicient access promotes the development of healthful and nutritious aids to growth.’ As an illustration bearing on this subject we take from the Maine IFarmer the following by Mr. A. E. Faught, of North Belgrade, in that State: ' *“ Many years since, an Irishman, it is said, purchased a small patch of land, which had been so thoroughly exhausted asto be considered incapable of producing a paying crop of any kind. B\fi lhe determined to sow a piece wit, rye; and long before the time to sow, he might be seen almost every morning, and while the dew was on, plowing his field. After a while he stopped plowing, saying that if he plowed any more the rye would lodge and spoil the crop. His near neighbors thought this was a specimen of Irish intelligence, and ' made much sport over it. They were confident he would not get rye enough to pay for his labor. But the rye came up well and grew and ripened, and when a large yield was harvested, -the neighbors concluded that the Irishman knew a great deal more than they thought he did. They could not account for it, but the fact was before them. Such cases are common and go to prove that good tillage will help to increase production.”—uXN. Y. Tribune. - S ;
