THE NAPPANEE NEW& IT WILL ■. aounuii. NAPPANEE, s x : : INDIANA THE WEIGHT OF A WORD. Have you evev thought of the weight of a word That rails in the heart like tha song of a bird. That gladdens the spring-time of memory and youth. And garlands with cedar the banner of Truth, That moistens the harvesting spot of the brain B.kt> dew-drops that fall on the meadow of grain, Or that swivels the germ and destroys the fruit And lies like a worm at the lifeless root? I saw a farmer at break of day Hoc:ng his coin in a careful way; An enemy came with a drought in h's eye, Discouraged the worker and hurried by. The keen-edged blade of the faithful hoe Dulled on the earth in the long corn row; The weeds sprung up and their feathers tossed Over the fieid, and the crop was—lost. Asa lor launched on an angry bay When the heavens entombed the face of dav; The wind arose like a beast in pain. And shook on the billows his yellow mane. The storm b at down as if cursed the cloud, Aul the waves held up a dripping shroud— But, hark! o’er the waters that wildly raved Came a word of cheer, aud he was— saved. A poet passed with a song of God Iltd in his heart like a gem in a clod. His lips were framed to pronounce the thought. And the music of rytbra its magic wrought: Feeble at first was the happy trill, • Bow was the echo that answered the hill. But a jealous friend spoke near his sida. And on his lips the sweet soug—died. A woman paused where a chandelier Threw in the darkness its poisoned spear; Weary and footsore from journeying long, She had strayed unawares from ther.ght to the wrong. Angels were beek’ning her back from the ,T den, Hoil and its demons were beek’ning her in; The tone of an urchin, like one who forgives, word— lives. Drew her back, and in Heaven, that sweet Words! Words! They are little, yet mighty and brave; They rescue a nation, an empire save— They close up the gaps in a fresh bleeding heart That sickness and sorrow have severed apart. They fall on the path, like a ray of the sun. Where the shadows of death lay so heavy upon; They lighten the earth over our biessed dead. A word that will oomfort, oh! leave not unlaid. —Louisville Courier-Journal. A FORTUNATE ANGLER. The Best “ Catch” of a Young Man’s Life. They were summering in the Santa Crua mountains, the most delightful place in the most delightful State in the Union. The days were long, but full of the interest that extended rambles and sylvan discoveries confer. A line stream, in which one could wade or bathe to heart's content, kept np its ceaseless conversation, like the hum of near and far voices. How beautiful in the early morning was the light falling on the ranks of giant redwoods; and surely there never was a bluer, purer sky than that bent above it all! Amy Desart, book in hand, sauntered down a leafy path, on which faint rays of light from the far sky sifted down •through the redwoods’ odorous branches, glinted on their scarred tranks, find tfell like silver arrows into the rich ; shade of the forest. The hook she carried was a pretext. The day was for dreaming, and what printed page could charm the eye, when there were a thousand distractions tempting the curiosity and challenging the admiration of a healthy nature? If abumbling bee, a vagrant bird, a clump of yellow violets or a broad “golden back” were enough to speak to a poetic soul, or charm an artist’s eye, who could tire of .watching the grander beau tie's of a rediwood forest, or wearv of the sudden | glimpses through opened boughs of The sublime blue mountains? So a i book was quite a useless thing to Miss )Amy Desart, but at the same time her I habitual companion. She was aroused from her lazy : dreaming by a loud halloo. Indeed, i she was not immediately aroused, for : the hallooing had been going ou for quite a respectable length of time before her drowsy consciousness stirred [to the effect of something unusual; for 1 hallooing, save for owls,- was by no means common in those silent depths. Once aroused from her summery stupor, she listened with growing interests. The calls continued at intervals, pausing, seemingly in expectation or hope of some reply. Miss Desart concluded, ns she heard no responsible halloo from any other part of the forest, that the call was from someone lost in the wilderness. As soon as her half somnolent brain had formed this conclusion, her voice took up the idea, And when another desperate and far away shout came to her ear, she answered with a musical call from her vigorous young lungs, at the same time going in the evident direction of the sound. She was heard, for a responsive call came in slightly louder tones, so she knew that, whoever it was, he was approaching her voice. Making a trumpet of her hands, she cried: “Lost?” The answer oanie quite distinctly, evidently trVunpted in the same manner: “Yes.” She lost fill her languor. Here was something of lively interest to occupy her time. “Who are you?” she called. “John Westwood,” came the answer. “Os San Francisco,” he continued. Unhesitatingly she plunged into the undergrowth and trackless way of the woods, her guide the voice, which kept up a rather one-sided conversation—if that can be called a conversation—as she only answered occasionally to show him that she was coming. She had no fear of being lost herself, for she had, time and again, roamed in the deepest and wildest parts of the forest, which was full of landmarks for her. “Out hunting-and - lost - my-way,” came slowly and detachedly" to her ears. She stopped and said to herself: “I’ve a mind to leave him to his fate. The idea of desecrating this sacred place with a shot-gun!” However, she proceeded to the rescue, determining to give Mr. John . Westwood a caustic piece of her mind when once she had discovered him. (It is safe to say-here, in parenthesis, that; she forgot her cruel intention long before she came up to him.) She picked and crasheji her way through the hushes for a mile, it seemed to her, but distances are deceptive when you have to work your way. At last, he, waiting, gave a halloo which sounded absurdly loud, when right on the hjsels of it the bushes parted, and a radiant wood-nymph, to be sure, in a becoming costume of buff lawn, the soft, loose draperies of which she had caught up to protect them from the brambles, revealing thereby the stiff embroidered ruffles of an immaculate skirt, and faultless feet shod in neat French walking boots. But her cheeks wen Hushed, her eyes were dazzling, and a cloud of shining hair rested lightly on her white forehead. Her wide hat, pushed far back on her head by some saucy branch, served as a frame to a bewitching face. She beheld a tall young man in hunter’s buckskin, leaning on a rifle. His brown eyes were a shade softer than usual, from their weariness, perhaps. His face was clearly cut, and a dark mustaohe adorned his firm lip. For more than a moment they gazed into each other’s eyes, then iaughed and bowed. After thanking her enthusiastically, he said: “ I had no idea of compelling a young lady to come to my rescue. I thought it was a boy

who answered me, and fully expected to see a ‘ barefoot boy, with cheeks of tan,’ instead of ” he hesitated. “You will see no barefoot boys around here,” she said, hastily, “There is too great a fear of rattlesnakes,” " I fiave not seen any.” “ May be not, for they are not fearfully prevalent, or I should not be here. But once in a while you come across ail ugly fellow. I always go armed myself,” she said, saucily, producing a tiny, silver-mounted flask from the depths of a capacious pocket. It was but a glimpse of the flask he caught, for she plunged it back impatiently, as if she resented the impulse of familiarity. j “If you will follow me—,” she said, shortly. “ With all my heart. I love the woods, but began to feel I should never get out of this. I have been wandering about, seeking a path which 1 could follow anywhere for six mortal hours. “It’s easy enough when you know the way.” “Ah, but every one isn’t a dryad.” “No. I’m especially engaged for the summer in that capacity,” she said, airily acknowledging his meaning. “When I’m at home,” she continued, thinking previous confidence called for a like return, “I’m Miss Amy Desart, of— well, every tiling in general. We’re nomads.” “I’m most happy, Miss Desart,” he began in the Stiff manner some people adopt when acknowledging an introduction, “to find in yon an angel unawares,” he concluded with regained ease. “And—and,” he went on mischievously, “I think I was bitten by a rattlesnake some time this morning.” She turned in alarm and met his eyes, in which he could not repress a twinkle. “Why, you said you hadn’t seen any.” “I didn’t see one, but I’m sure I must have heard a good many, and one could easily bite me and I not pay much attention to it, you know, in my perplexity.” She regarded him carefully, felt sure that he was a gentleman, and saw besides the mischief in his eyes a great exhaustion. “I came off at four this morning, without any breakfast,” and one could see his weariness was real. “You know,” he added, excusing himself, “I expected to be back at the hotel by six with a deer f£-brhkfast.” “ You are staying at F——?” she asked. F—— was a yjlj.age on the line of the railway, aboutSr mile distant. “I have been there for the last week, bnt intend to return to the city to-morrow. I suppose you can show me the way to F?” “ Oh, yes. You must have been very faint. We are nearly to the path; and Miss Desart’s compliments, and will Mr. John Westwood deign to partake of an informal lunch at Hepsidam?” “ Mr. John Westwood accepts with due informality, not to say that he jumps at the chance. But where and what in the name of the redwoods is Hopsidam?” “ Hepsidam—as the name signifies —is “a place in the wilderness, ’ rented duriug the summer months to campers for a small stipend. Wes have been down every summer for three years. But here we are.” He stepped out on the path and stood beside her. How fragant and cool the woods were. The broad, leafy path made one sigh with pity for those who were bound to tread the stifling streets of the city. They soon reached the cottage, which was not far from where they struck the path. It was an idyllic repast that awaited them. Mrs. Desart was as lovely and cordial as her daughter, and Mr. Desart was full of bonbommie and unconcealed delight, at meeting any one so recently from the city, “I wish I had had the good Inek to lose myself in this vicinity a week ago,” said Westwood, regretfully, as he was taking his departure, considerably later in the afternoon. “Well, you can find your way here easily now, and wo shall be glad to see yon at any time,” said paterfamilias, cordially. “Thank you for your kindness, but my vacation ends to-morrow,” he sighed. They all joined him on his walk hotclward, to make sure of his taking the right turns and angles which were to take him to F , and it seemed to him that Amy was even more beautiful in the tender twilight than before. They parted from him as warmly as from an old friend, with cordial handshakes all around, and Mr. Desart told him to ran down any Sunday when he wanted a breath of the redwoods—an invitation cordially seconded by Mrs. Desart, and shyly by Amy. They stood and * watched him till he reached a bend in the road, where he turned aud waved his handkerchief, at which three handkerchiefs fluttered in response, then the bend in the road hid him from sight. They turned back on the path with rather a lonesome feeling, for this bright young fellow, whom they had not known a dozen hours’ before, had proved such a jolly comrade for the few hours of their acquaintance that they honestly regretted his departure. And though they would have disclaimed indignantly, and with truth, any suggestion that they had suffered ennui before his appearance, stilt they began to look forward to the possible Sunday when he would come again. They might have had visitors in abundance, of course. But, though not by any means selfish people, they were stiil not gregarious to any extent. Their unsocial instincts were probably due to their fondness for traveling, and the ease with which they had always been able to gratify that fondness. Aniy, in fact, could hardly hive told which was her own country. She was as familiar with France and Germany as America, and Scotland she has always loved. But since they had discovered the redwoods of California, she was inspired by their grandeur to quite a strong patriotism, for, though cosmopolitan bred, she was California born. The next Sunday John Westwood could hardly conquer his desire to visit his new friends. But he felt that it would be better taste to let one Sunday elapse between his visits. He was not very much expected, to be sure, as they did not look for him before two or three weeks. But in that week, Mr. Desart received a telegram that demanded his immediate presence iu New York. And in a few days this family, always prepared for such emergencies, were on their eastward way. Mr. Desart, as politeness demanded, wrote a note of explanation and apology .to Mr. Westwood, whose address he intended to transcribe from the San Francisco directory. His intentions were good, but when they had left New York and were far out on the Atlantic, he discovered the still unaddresseil note in one of his many pockets. It is unnecessary to dwell on the disappointment and surprise of Mr. Westwood, when in high spirits he set out on the woodland path, only to find a deserted house at the end of it. He repeated the visit at odd intervals during the rest of the summer and fall, but always with the same result, till he finally gave up in despair, and came near to believing that he had never been lost in the redwoods, but had fallen asleep on an enchanted hill-side (as Grimm’s people do) and dreamed the whole thing. It was late in Septembei of the following year before John Westwood felt able to take his annual vacation from-

business cares. But the days grew so warm that he detefmined td bi'Cak HWay from the hot pavements and ceaseless noise of the City, for a Week in the mountains. But Where? There were mountains nor.th of him, mountains east of him, mountains south of him. He had only to choose. The mountains to the north were the Marin County branch of the Coast range, of which Tamalpais is the most prominent feature. But TanlftlpAis is visible from the city, so they wouldn’t do. The same fault attached to the mountains to the east, that rise from the arid San Joaquin plains. Mount Diablo was their great failure, and his infernal majesty was plainly visible from the city. To the south were the Santa Cruz mountains, in whose depths his short-lived romance of a year ago Was enacted. It is not strange that ignoring the charms of Mendocino redwoods which necessitated a day or two of steamboat travel, and steeling his heart against Donner lake and the snowy Sierras (which were rather far off into the bargain), he decided to seek the bracing mountain air in the Santa Crna range. F—- was only a few hours distant from the city, and yet the place was a wild, untrodden wilderness —a wilderness possesing the great advantage of accessibility. One had only to strike out from the station at F in any direction to lose himself—as he had once proved in a virgin and primeval forest.

He had no hope of meeting his quondam acquaintances again. If they had been down at all, lie felt sure they had flown before that. He assured himself that he would not have wished to meet them, for they had treated him shabbily. It was a most contradictory impulse, then, that drew him the very first day of his arrival past the redwood cabin. If he had hoped for any sign of his will-’o-tlie-wisp friends, however, he was disappointed. No sign of life was about the place, and he avoided it in his future rambles. The large streams that flowed through the forest were famous for trout, and to trout-fishing he devoted himself, as offering fewer opportunities for getting lost than hunting the wary deer. So with rod and line, a plentiful supply of light literature, and a sportsman’s lunch basket well filled, he would start out for the day. He was impartial in his choice of streams, and often angled in the one that flowed near Hepsidam. He choose that one to-day, and made his way up the stream for a long distance by leaping from stone to stone, or by walking the mighty length of the redwood trees that lay, as they had fallen, in and across the stream in every direction, and by wading with his water-defying boots in the beautiful smooth stretches of water. At last he reached a place he judged favorable alike for angling and for reading. It was a redwood trunk, soft with mossy growths, hid among mighty bowlders; and from this shelter his line could play on a smooth pebbly pool that promised lots of trout. Here he ensconsed himself comfortably, baited his hook, flung his line out into the stream, propped the pole up near at hand (which may not be a scientific way to fish, but was quite in the way of a lazy young man), stretched himself at full length on his broad divan, chose the most conversational novel his pocket bore and was soon deep in its pages. Behind him rose an absolutely perpendicular cliff, many feet in height, dotted from top to bottom with waving “five finger” ferns. They were of such dense and large growth that no portion of the rock}’ wallwas visible, and down through the tops of the redwoods hundreds of feet above and over the living green curtain, the sun sent his flickering rays. The trout were wary and gave him plenty of time to get interested in his book, which, being a lively summer novel, caused him soon to forget the shyness of the denizens of the stream. So in turning a page it acted quite like a shock to his nervous system when he saw his pole beni| and suddenly show symptoms of falling headlong into the stream. He caught it with the mental ejaculation: “It must be a big one to pull like that!” and straightway his book was forgotten. He lifted the pole and carefully began to draw in the line, at the same time advancing to the edge of his nook to see his game. An exclamation of pain greeted his effort to tauten his line, and there on a rock in tiie brook he beheld his catch. He gazed in consternation at the sight of a girl seated on the rock, and bending over a rosy bare foot, which bore in the pink ball of a tiny toe a cruel black fish-hook. His effort to draw in the line must have caused her acute pain, and called forth the moan which smote on his ears. Her head was befit, and her hands were busy trying to draw out the ugly barb. “This must be another ‘Lorelei,’ ” he thought, “and these woods are surely haunted. I’ll be carried off by a pixie next.” He hardly knew how to offer his services—as he was evidently unobserved, it was awkward to break the silence. Blit of course it was only fair that he should help this damsel in distress. He was just essaying “Allow me,” when she suddenly rose, without having extracted the hook, and attempted the feat of walking on her heel. Then, raising her eyes, she saw him helpless and guilty before her. “You!” she cried, faintly, and let her skirts d’op quickly over her feet, whereat the former became as wet as the latter. “You!” he cried in rapture; for it was she! no strange pixie nor Lorelei, but his dryad of a year ago. “Can you ever forgive me?” he asked in deep contrition. “Let me take out that wretched hook.” She offered no resistance as ho lifted her up on a mossy log, and then deftly, and as gently as possible, cut out the barb. Os course it was painful, but two or three little gasps were all the sign she gave, and they cut him to the heart. He tore np his handkerchief for a strip to wrap around the little bleeding toe. “Anil now,” he said, as gayly as he felt to be consistent with a bad conscience, “ fishermen always carry their catch home, 1 believe, and you can not walk.” She yielded to this arrangement, saying: “It isn’t far—l had just started out to wade np stream for ferns.” So Paul-and-Virginia-wise, carefully over the stones and up the road he bore his sweet burden, to the door of Hepsidam, where many explanations were the order of the day. Mr. Desart gave him the long deferred letter, and they all forgave him for capturing Amy so cruelly. But at his wedding, some months later, he confided to his friends at large that it was the finest catch he had ever made; and none who saw .his lovely bride questioned the statement. And Amy declares no one can ever say that she “angled for a husband.”—A'. L. Curnarthen, in Overland Monthly. Temporarily Postponed. A Cincinnati youth, fourteen years of age, called upon a lawyer a few days ago and asked him what sort of an offense it would be if a boy kept six hundred dollars which a firm gave him to put in the bank. “My son,” replied the lawyer, “lei me give you some advice gratis this time. Wait four or five years, and then cabbage at least ten thousand dollars and come to me for guidance,” The toy went off whistling and banked the money.— Wall Street 2fcw.

OUR FASHION LETTER. Street Costumes—Autumn tailor tJresses, English Coats And French Jackets— Charming anti Inexpebsive Gowns. ISpeclal New York Correspoudeneo.l Although there is an uncommon degree of electicism exhibited in the magnificent dress toilets for the forthcoming season, there is shown an unusual amount of conventionality in costumes designed for the street. Marked individuality and artistic funcy assert themselves in the lengthy list of evening and “high tea" gowns, but as soon as a lady sets her dainty foot upon the pavement, fashion claims her for her own, and decrees most arbitrarily wherewith she shalt beelothed. Silks and satins are ruled out. and it is now a very uncommon thing to see a woman shopping or taking a “constitutional” dressed in any other sort of gown save one in tailorstyle, and formed of softly-draping wool of some description. Arrayed in elaborate silk attire,with billows of lace around her shoulders, and with fancy hat bedecked with flowers and feathew, she is at once set down as either ignorant of good form ill the fine art of modern dressing, or as a lady on her way to a fete of -some sort, who has lost her carriage in the crowd. It is a matter of congratulation that the short, trim, round-skirt which clears the

ground by several inches is still.absolutely tic rigueur for church, street, aml ail ordinary occasions. The width of theskirt on autumn tailor dresses remains about the same, and kilts and panels and ample drapings aro still their distinguishing feature. Tailor dresses for utility purposes are always severely plain with no fripperies whatever; the finish consisting of machine-stitching and rows of handsome buttons. But handsomer or rather dressier gowns show suitsof cheviot serge, Scotch tweeds, Loch-

, jggfe

walking costume, invars, and like fine cheeked goods combined with silk, plush or velvet. If the cloth goods are of one plain, solid color, the vest, panels and tunic are often decorated with rich silk gimps, braiding or embroidery. The stylish English coats and graceful French jackets which accompany these garments are finished with an effectual trimming of these silk eimps in Arabesque and other designs, and in many instances the broad plaiting which reaches from belt to hem is covered a third of its depth w*th thesame dense garniture, which

has all the rich effect of costly applique work at a third its cost. The back draping is wholly untrimmed, but the ample vest, high military collar, wide pocket-ilups and turn-back cuffs are each covered with the silk gimp in adesignparticularly formed for each separate portion. The new jackets are short, close-fitting, nnd aro either finished with a vest, pr are doublebreasted. Some of the English coats aro cut with a single dart, others have two. The backs have the postilion plaits] pressed to tie very fiat, and there are lmt single side forms. The Bleeyes

are in close coat style. Ejikms coB . and the pockets are often invisible, but just a slashed opening stitched at each end like those on a gentleman’s coat. The bttuvle and IW.se wools for these jackets are extra fuzzy in appearance, and show bright and stylish mixtures of deep marine bhieand cardinal, golden brown and ecru, chestnut and blue, and black and poppy red. The coachman’s coat of tan-colored livery cloth, is very chic and jaunty, and its velvet trimmings and large costly bronze and gold buttons render it very recherche in effect, basques and polonaises divide popular favor almost evenly this fall, and each display a great variety in style and ornament. Nearly all fitted garments are very snug in their effect, an 1 many handsome suits of heavy wool will ho worn until severe cold weather, without any outer garment except the quaint little pelerines and shoulder capes of silk plush, velvet, Astrakhan, boucle goods, and fancy velour fabrics with raised velvet figures on gray satin grounds. Those toy wraps usually matcli the material composing the vest, panels, etc., of the tailor suit. Ladylike and pretty suits of French cashmere are shown made up with velvet or plush, the costume including a wrap of the same. For instance, one tailor suit shows a dress of softest nuns

gray cashmere, with vest and panels of golden brown plush nnd tiin’ pelerine of the saino. Tiie rieli but simple effect of thisdresswas noticeable among an array which leached into tiie hundreds. There is an unusually largo importation of these fine French goods, showing exquisite shades in all tho standard colors, and a number of now beautiful pale tints for evening wear. Heliotrope, Persian, Mauve, Sapphire, blue tan and dove ,gray are the choice colors, and velvet or

yacking COSTUME. mo ire for vest collar anil cuffs, will renderthe toilet more dressy and becoming. These charming gowns are a wise investment, for they are very inexpensive, as fine qualities can be purchased from fifty to seventy-five cents the yard double-width, and ten yards will make a dress (using inferior goods for the foundation) that is paneled or boxplaited. An effective addition is a surplico front and sasli of moire or velvet. Venetian red cashmere is very efßective trimmed with bluck velvet ribbon, with suits of tho skirt draped with black Spanish lace. Prettier and more delicate is a gown of mauve cashmere with milkmaid tunic turned up with a rever of violet velvet. A Fedora vest of mauve Surah and a short Russian jacket of velvet are added. Cashmere goods are also used as polanaises over the new handsome striped suitings which show clusters of pin stripes in various colors, the lines mostly brilliant on dark grounds, but in no degree conspicuous owing to the narrowness of the stripes.

Lay the main drains from three to four feet deep—the latter depth is better than the less, hut we can't always get the outlet to begin so deep. If the fall is sufficient, we can save it, anti soon have the necessary depth. 3. We should use a size of tile large enough to remove the surplus water so as to have the surface ready for th& plow in twenty-four hours after a rainfall. I have generally determined the sizes of tile about as follows: I look over the land and estimate about how many acres of the surface will run the water of a rainfall to tiie point where L am going to make my outlet. If the estimate is that the water of ten acres is to go through my outlet, I take half the number of acres as the size in inches for the inside diameter of mv tile, which would be five-inch tile at the outlet,, and smaller sizes in proportiona s the line of tile advances, depending upon iiow the water is received. But if the fall is as much as an inch to the rod, and the work well done, then I would use a four-inch tile at live outlet, and a third of the way up the drain drop off’to three’s, and near the head of the drain use two’s if I could got them. But we must make allowance for imperfect work, and it is well to have the tile large enough. There are more mistakes from the use of tile too small than of tile too large. 4. In laying out tlve line of the drain I make it as straight as I can to secure the most direct How of the water. Then I stretch a line of two or three rods in length at the side of the intended ditch, and begin the work witli a sixteen-melt ditching spade at the outlet and work hack, going the spade’s depth, throwing the dirt on one side. The width of the ditch at the top should not ordinarily he more than ten inches, growing narrower as we go down. 1 use an adjustable scoop to remove the loose dirt that fails to stick to the ditching spade. 1 work hack the length of the line the first spade', then go forward and commenee another spade of depth, and carry that back the length of the line, and then the last spade 1 work down deep enough to make the grade, leveling the botiom with my adjustable scoop. 5. The leveling of the bottom to receive the tile is the important part of the work. If there is water in the bottom of the ditch, I make the bottom so uniform in the fall that the water will flow regularly all the length completed. The ditch at the bottom should be just wide enough to receive the size of tile to he laid, then the tile will be supported by the side and not easily moved when the first dirt is thrown on. In this way I work out the drain a line’s length at the time until 1 have gone over sufficient space to make it necessary to lay the 'tile, unless there is quicksand, when I lay the tile as 1 go6. In laying the t le, commence at the outlet; lay the first joints of hardburnt tile so they will not be injured by the frost. 1 lay a few cobble stones as large as my head around the mouth o i the tile, to hold it firmly and protect it from the tramping of stock. As soon as I get two or three joints laid 1 stand on them and lay the next joint, placing the tile as closely end to end as I oan, and as perfectly in line as possible, to have the water-way inside free from shoulders, also having the grade regular. When I have advanced five or six feet, I have a long-handled shovel (or the adjustable scoop will do) and fill in some clay on the tile, pressing it down firmly with my foot, watching carefully that the tile are not displaced. Having covered the tile in this way, I fill the balance of the ditch with a plow or scraper. When the day’s work is done and the ditch is not finished, I put in a board at the upper end to prevent the dirt washing intirthe drain during the night from any accumulation of water. In the way named 1 go on with the work until I lay as much as I can for the present, then I secure the tipper ends and drive a stake, so if 1 should want to run the drain further I will know where to commence. And 1 generally do want to go further.— J. B. Moxom, in Drainage and Farm Journal.

SCRAPS OF INFORMATION. Til-Bitg Selected for the Benefit of Bead ers Both Old and Young;. A Canadian great-grandfather recently was present at the christening of his one hundred and seventeenth descendant, AN Indian near Snohomish City, W. TANARUS., caught and lauded without aid a sturgeon eleven feet long and weighing five hundred pounds. It cost a woman who was sojourning at Saratoga this summer three hundred dollars for doctors’ hills for attendance on a pet dog which was taken ill. A rattlesnake seven feet long killed on Anastatia Island, Fla. It had just eaten two rabbits. Its head was cut off and weighed over a pound. A French quadroon in New Orleans named Antoine Lufon is said to be the richest colored man in this country. His wealth is estimated at over $1,500,000. A hundred-acre neat bog has been di3 covered near Ellendale, 1). T. The peat reachos to a depth of from sevon to ten feet, and is said to overlay a surface of ice. A bio bird with head and face like an ape, with bulging eyes surrounded by a fringe of gray hair, and with ears like a man’s, save that they are covered with fine gray hair, was captured in Fort Wayne the other day, and crowds visit it daily. Jennie Lemon, who lives near. Pallas, Tex., is but fifteen years ol<l, yet she had the pluck the other day, single handed, to tackle and kill a rattlesnake that was six feet five inches long, twelve inches in circumference, and that carried sixteon rattles. H. L. Clark, of Higganilm, Conn., brags because oue of bis ducks has laid 100 eggs this season, which is four times the yield of the average duck. What is more, from one of those .100 eggs was hatched a fourlegged duckling that still lives and walks, Using all of its legs, as if that was the proper thing for young ducks. Tiie four Acfcen brothers of Middlesex Couuty, N. J., are fine men. William isß3 years old, 0 feet 3 inched in height, and weighs 250 pounds; Henry is 81, 6 feet 4, and weighs 270; Samuel is 79, 6 feet 5, and weighs 225; Theodore is 73, 0 fe9i 8, and weighs 230 pounds. They are in excellent health and vigorous beyond their years. —. . Political Eloquence. [Youth’s Companion.] The Yankee is sometimes amusing when he aims to be highly eloquent and patriotic. An office-seeker who wished to impress his constituents pleasantly, stopped at a town in Oregon nqar where there is quite a largo cataract. /‘Gentlemen,” said the orator, “I some falls which must have been sixty feet high. Gentlemen, Rome had her Caesar, her Scipio, her Brutus, but R-R-Uome in her proudest day had never a waterfall sixty feet high! Gentlemen, Greece had her Pericles, her Demosthenes and her Socrates, but Greece never had a waterfall sixty feet high in a June freshet! I repeat it, gentlemen, such a fall will bring in wealth, an’ wealth brings prosperity, an’ prosperity brings hajipiness!” An Old Coin Devoured by a Snake. [Chicago News.) As Adolphe Lacroux was driving near Windsor, Can., ho heard a low rattle which seemed to come from under the seat of his vehicle. He did not mind it at first, but, upon the noise continuing, he concluded to make an examination, and found coiled up, only a few inches from where he was sitting, a rattlesnake just in the act of striking. Not relishing the company of his newly-found comrade, ho seized his whip and soon dispatched the reptile, which, upon examination, proved to be the possessor of twelve rattles. On opening the snake, his stomach was found to contain an old English shilling dated 1754. The coin was badly corroded, giving evidence that it had been in his snakeship’s possession for a long time. Removal of an Old Scaffolding. i lAlleutowu (Pa.) Items.] Philip Igle & Cos., of Reading, have just finished frescoing Gernant’s Church, near Leesport. The building of the edifice was commenced nearly twenty years ago and eighteea years ago it was so far completed that the scaffolding was put up ou tha inside for the plasterers. Then the congregation worshipped in the basement of the church these eighteen years, the scaffolding remaining up in tho main audience room until the recent frescoing was completed, when it wa4 taken down. A—- • ■ A Woman’s Encounter with a Heptilo. [St. Louis Republican.] Mrs. W. Campbell, of Cooper County, Mo., entered her hen-house oue day and placed some eggs in a nest, supposing she was placing them under the favorite black sitting hen. But it proved to be a large blacksuake, snugly coiled in the nest. No sooner had Mrs. Campbell’s hand appeared under bis snakeship than he rushed up her arm and encircled her head. This brought things to a crisis. Mrs. Campbell roached for her bonnet and both it and the snake went flying to the ground. Ghu then killed the snake. THE MARKETS. New York, Oct 5.

A St. Thomas (Can.) veterinary surgeon recently pulled tbe unsound tooth of a dog. The dog sat up in a chair and acted very human, opening his mouth readily, yelling when the doctor pulled, and fainting dead away when the tooth came out. Hon. M. A. Foran, of Ohio, member of House of Representatives, says St. Jacobs Oil relieved him of acute bodily pains. Gus Clark, of Syracuse, N. Y., applied patent corn medicine to one of his toes a few days ago, and now gangrene has set in and the foot must come oil if the patient would live. Chicago women never argue.

He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no cose whatever will it fail to euro il the directions are strictly followed and carried out In a great many cases a single dose hao been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have besn cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restorat on cf the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more oertyiu to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease hae been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually this medicine’ will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order.
