Trepanations have been made lor departure tomonow and, knowing this, her many friends have been preparing an expression of good wishes for a safe journey ani a happy sojourn which resulted last night in a most pleasant surprise. The surprise was so admirably planned that Mrs. Maude was not at home when the merry party of young folks came and took possession but when s:ie returned she received a welcome not less delightful than it was surprising. Mi U.uk-y was fully cq-ial to the oc- : .- v ii and provi U for lie: guests a most enjoyable evening's social entertainment. lrt hyterian Missionary Meeting. At Peru Indiana, the thirteenth annual meeting of the t omen's Synodical societies ol the Presbyterian home and foreign missions, of Indiana, began in the First Presbyterian church, of that city, last Tuesday.

COL. VISSCHER.

I'nuiup C'liarai-tor, As si TIr i.fsioiits He i.asf. w i:;.iais. j The Sunday Tiines-Ü raid hr.s for! some time put presented to its readers, short spicy stoiies from the able pen ! of Col. Yisscher. As a yarn spinner, Yisscher in our estimation, has few equals. While as they appear in type, they cause a ripple of mirth from tho.-e whi enjoy a story, yet to hear him tell them is far different, and always causes great laughter. ('of Visci'hiT won.! r.nf l.n ... ' . : ,. . v '.'.I shIpiviI an adornment for em -:..fv it taking his face into consideration would be the attraction noceary. lie always prided himself on Jus homeliness, but notwithstanding this almost necessary feature he is always welcome wherever he appears, and the most depressing cae of the blues would be dispelled under his sunny temperment. We have know.i Yisscher to keep an audience m an uproar of laughter, and while telling an anecdote, without even a smile upon his homely conutinancejhose who were fortunate enough to become Iiis hearers, would hold their sides in their attempt to surpress the roar of laughter they were impelled to emit. One of Yisschers favorite stories relates to Mr. Prentice, - who at the time refered to, was the editor of th Louisville Journal. The Colonel could mimic Prenitce in hi-, every act, imitating his walk up and down the floor, with his hands underneath his swallow tail coat, whiledictating to Ids stenographer some of th? most orilliant editorals of thai day. Col. Yisscher is all right and the continuation of Ins letters throught the coming winter will be looked forward to with pleasure by the readers of the Times-Herald. Ileyanliiij; Drainage. Mr. S. T. K. Prime, editor of Prime's Crop Hulk tin, published a D wight, 111., has for a number of years ranked among the very best of authority on subjects pertinent to farming. He r u: ; compiled the largest library of statistics on the yield of different cereals and fruits, etc., th it m ail probability is in existence to-day, aik! Üwiigli not an admirer of Coxeyi.-m, is an agitator fa voring good roads, and his logic used along the latter line is unavailable. In an article on tile draining Mr. Prime gave out this statement, after suming up the benefits to be derived from tiling: "In a wet season it takes off the water. That we all know. In a dry season it draws moisture by allowing th air to pass through tlie tile, and by this means the soil becomes like a sponge and is susceptabie to the slightest atmospheric change." This position was taken by Mr Prime owing to th controversies arising over the swamp lands, wherein some writers took the position that tiling had had a tendency to reduce moisture during a dry season. NhoulU Look at Homt-. The following was taken from the columns of an Illinois paper. It says: It is said an Indiana man taught his dog, a very line bred, well being setter, to chew tobacco. Mow the dog comes into the house by the back door, never scrapes his feet on the mat, never goes to church, is cirehss at his meals, gets burrs in his tail, goes with a lower grade of dogs and it is feared that he is begin ning to take an interest in politics. Nmv we are fully aware that net twenty milts from the village where the paper is issued that contains this pecu! iantem, is a placo on the Sangomoii Fiver bottom, known as Hell's Half Acre,' where this very class o people live as is designated in the above. A large number of them still live in log huts along the river banks, raise their own tobacco, raise enough corn to make corn bread and he.nony to last them through the winte r, and use side meat gravey and borghum molasses mixed to sop the corn btead in. Asa rule wheat bread io a great luxury, and indulged In on occasions like Christmas and New Yeais, while the fairer sex are known as 'wamp Angels." K turiu tl. Mr. F. Spangle received word last night that his wife, who left this city fe.v days ago to visit at Aigos, was seriously ill. He left this city for Argos as Eoon as posiiblo after receiving the message and brought his wife home to d ty. Mas. Spangle is now resting easy and her condition is considerably improved over what it was yesterday. She was brought homo in a carnage this morning. A ioIlen Iilc. A large golden eaglo was captured near Madison, which measured six feet from tip to tip. The bird had killed a turkey near there a few days be fore and returned again, when ho w as crippled by a shot and captured.
