The gushers and gabblers whq ere trying to make a tragedy q«e»nV>f Mrs. Garfield, are dolDg her great Injustice. She is a brave, noble woman, who acts naturally and speaks discreetly, and is an ornament to her sex, which, if the occasion was presented, oould produce thousands and tens of thousands just like her, and it is little lees than slanderous to pose her in dramatic heroics that, in these matter-of-fact days, would be criticised if presented on the stage.

#TppRE’B food for sober reflection on the part of those who are aocused in the following from the London Truth: “No man attacks the reputation of a youth as women attack that of a girl. The man who should come Into his club and whisper about damniDg stories of his friend’s young eon, who should accuse him’ of dishonorable doings, such as would ruin the lad’s character as thoroughly as (he charge of immodesty, flirting wilh married men, aDd the like ruin that of a girl, would soon have the room, to himself. But women over the tea table gather up the crumbs of scandal with relish and appreciation, and even the mothers of girls are not ashamed to believe and repeat stories against their dear friends’ daughters which may have no foundation in fact, and which even if true, they have uo means of proving and testing.”

The recently appointed Cattle Commissioners on the part of the Treasury Department have issued a circular to Governors of States and Territories west of the Alleghanies, warning them of the danger there is in the purchasing oif dairy calves from the east in distriofcHfiltefcd with pi eoro-pfieu moil £a, apd scattering them throughout the w«l,‘ which Baa heretofore been soj free of the contagious ‘ diseases:* The; districts known to be infected with: the roourgqembrace pretty - - much the whole of the country-befdering on the coast from New York city southward to Washington City, and extending to a greater or leas distance inland. The danger that the great cattle fields of the west may be infected by this growing importation of dairy calves from the east is a perilous one, and it is recommended that the traffic should be discouraged and prohibited. “Whatever Is Is right” Even the drought, so much complained of by the unthinking, had its oompensatlpna. shown by ail agricultural authority ai> follows: “During the diy, hotwe^i her of summer' at)■immense amount of moisture is pitied frpnp the soil by evaporation;ks'tne draft la made from the surface, the"deficiency in some degree is made up front tie depths of the soil below, by the process of capillary attraction, just as water will rise from the lower point of ajjiece of moistened sponge, when heTd in contact with water—or by a more apt illustration, as a piece of sugar will drink up a body of water when placed In contact with it. This supply of the draft of moisture made from above is continued from the depths below so long a* the earth remains in the condition favorable to this upward circulation of the moisture that has been stored up from previous rains, and that will be so long as the drought

continues. With this continued rise of the moisture from below there is a corresponding proportion of the inorganic, or mineral constituents of plants, brought up in eolation with it; and thiA left within the reach' of the roots of the present or future crops. / “Numerous experiments have been made by scientific cultivators, which have afforded abundant proof that the moisture which rises from the earth below, caused by the evaporation from the Burface, brings with it, in eolation, lime in its various forms—magnesia, potash, soda, and whatever the subsoil may contain of this kind. This is a wonderful and wise provision of nature for maintaining in the soil all those essential ingredients for growing crops—a provision not always considered by tne complaining farmer.”

THE NERVOUS LITTLE SORREL.

A Story of tho Dajs When Maud S. was a Bit of a Colt. the Pittsburg whatMa^^Mfcdhaccomplished at the new driving park I turned to a gentleman who sat beside me and said: S2S&S it?" said he. Let me. look at the paper.” The gentleman* Who said this was Mr. W. 8. Halbert, of Cincinnati. mfa one of the noted men of that place, is worth a million or two, and is largely interested in' the Cincinnati Gazette. Mr. Halbert laid the paper down and said': “I owned Maud S. for a week once. Captain J. Bugher, an old river man Who came from up the Mongahela River, was a friend of mine. He was a great horseman, and one day he went over to a sale of blooded colts at AlexJVml * ;Woodburn, Ky. Bugher, bough tele veu colts and then it begad fb rain In tbrrtfote?

V I remembered then that my eolt was a bay, and not a sorrel, and I told Bdgher so,and he confessed that he had bhenmistaken; so I took the bay and Bucher took the sorrel, and that’s where I made a mistake. The sorrel was Maiid 8., and the bay was her sister. Maud has trotted In 2:08, and the .sister can't trot in three minutes. Bugher put the colt into Bair’s hands to train when she was 3 years old, and in a short time she did magnificent work. Old man Bugher died,ana his son gave orders to Bair to sell the mare for $350. Bair came to me a dozen times and wanted me to buy her. He said she was the fastest thing in the way of horseflesh there was in the country, but I did'not care about making the purchase. Aftera while

STONE BOUGHT THE MABE for |350 and allowed Bair to manage her. She showed so much speed that Vanderbilt heard of her and wanted to buy her. Stone said he would selL for $21,000, $20,000 for himself and SI,OOO for Bair, provided the mare trotted in 2:18. She was put on the Lexington track and made the mile in 2:17J, which was just Dexter’s time. Vanderbilt bought her and put her in charge of a man who could not do anything with her. He treated her roughly, and-she would pot trot. Vanderbilt wrote to Stone and said: “I bought that mare for $21,000, and she can’t trot in 2:35. I don’t want to be called an ass. What shall Ido about It?” Stone replied that if the mare was sent to him-to train he would make her the fastest trotter in the world and he did. Only a few weeks ago a chan named Woodmansee, who represented somb St. Louis tneh, went to Vanderbilt and offered him decertified check for Maud, but Vanderbilt only laughed and said she was not for sale—ana that is the nervous little sorrel colt that he would not keep”—and Mr. Hulbert softly robbed his chin and looked at me with a queer smile, that spoke volumes. “YoU said she trotted. In 2:08.” said IV “dd hot mean 2dOJ.” i “No. sir,Vf said Mr. Hulbert, prompt*Jy, i‘lt is well known that the mare can trot Id 2:08, and what Is more, she hastrotted a mile on a regular track on two different occasions. Of course,, it WAS 1 in private, and not on record, but she was timid by competent men with stop watches.”

An Egg Romance.

New York Sun. “Yes, it is true,” said James Lynch yesterday, as he stood in front of his produce market at 152 Grand street, Williamsburgh. “An egg was the cause of it all, and it is the first time I guess that an egg ever acted as a matoh-maker. I don’t mind telling you the circumstances,hut I prefer not giving the name of either the girl or her: Intended, for , I know that they Would not like it, and tne facts are just as-interesting without them, “It was bn Eatunday night, I 1 think, •$& who,is very hand], cache down stairs !to help us in ■ the store. * She often did thlsj fcfr th'e upstairs work, which she -is bmployed to do is not very heavy, and qn most evenings she is at leisure. Well,* that 1 day I had bought five barrels oft eggs from a commission house on Duane street, near Greenwich, N. Yr They had come from Tennessee. (One barrelwas- Used up when the girl came down, and 1 had just opened ahbther. Bhe began to sell from this barrel. About five minutes Jater T heard her laughing,and sawfher holding an egg to the light. She looked at it so intently that I drew near and asked her if it Was bad. * “Oh, no,” she answered. “It Is too good. “She handed me the egg pointing, to some words written within it in a clear, busines-like hand. They were as follows: u

“Will the young-lady in whose hands this egg may fall open correspondence with county. Tennessee? “I. read it aloud, and a lady who chanced to be pi esent said, 'How romantic!’ I thought so, too, and we all had a good laugh over it Afte* the shutters had been put up I told the *girl just for the fun of the thing, to comply with the request on the egg, and send a letter to Tennessee. Before going to bed she did so. She is well educated and writes an excellent letter. She was brought up in a convent in Ireland: She said she had' no idea that she would get an answer, but I guess she anxiously watched for the postman during the following week. At the end of five days a letter came

directed to her and postmarked Tennessee. - It didn’t take her long to open it, and I’m pretty sure she read its contents as quickly. A reply was sent and other letters came and went. Photographs were exchanged before three weeks had expired. The girl after this refused to show any more of her letters and we began to imagine that matters were becoming serious, and teased her about her correspondent. Well, to make a long story short, he proposed by letter and was accepted. On Tuesday he arrived from Tennessee and saw her the first time. They were mutually pleased and the wedding day was set tor sometime in the middle of August. It is a good match and I hope they will be happy together.” “Is our friend from Tennessee in good circumstances?” asked the repewter. * “Oh, yes,” replied Mr. Lynch. “I forgot to tell you. He owns considerable laud and Tis quits well to do. He is also a large shipper of produce and just out of fun he wrote the message on the fatal * egg. He knew the eggs would be shipped tq New York, but they* might have been shipped from this city, to-Europe or anywhere else.
