A Confidence Game in St. Louis.

J. W. Hensley is the name of a respectably and wgll-to-do farmer, living at Fprsyth, Taney County, Mo., forty-five miles from the town of Springfield. Out In that country,they are honest folk, don’t go much on style,' and are of such confiding natures as to sometimes fall victims to the wolves of society. This description will at leagt apply to Hensley, or would previous to his recent visit to St. Louis. During the past summer he has been devoting a portion of his time to fattening a drove of ctatoahogs for the market, and on Wednesday arrived in the city with them. TtteV were such plump, cleanlooking porkers that Hensley had ho end of bids for then), and yesterday morning pushed into one of the pockets of his breeches ‘ a roll of $575, asythe proceeds from, their sale. His business was concluded, and having a desire to return home as soon as practicable, he went to the Union Depot to ascertain when the first train left for Springfield. Not until eight o’clock in the evening, he was told, and as he had almost the full day before him, he proceeded to dispose of the time as best hp might ip an economical way. Walking Seemed* Ks suit him,* and wandering about the Streets in the immediate neighborhood of the depot, with a glazed cloth grip-sack in hand, he looked the; picture pf contentment and bucolic innocence—barring sex, a regular Red Riding Hood, with only the wolf wanting to complete the picture. There was a jrolt in the neighborhood, aS it turned out s who' sooh set eyes on Hensley and marked him for his victim. The stranger was not long in ascertaining that he had met with a guileless child of nature, for Hensley, with small encouragement, soon put him in possession of all the facts relative to his home, his calling, ancLthe object and result of his visit to St,.Louis. After thoroughly pumping tbfe “ gray,” tile new-comer Said: “ You must know the Robinsons, of Springfield? They’re prominent people there.” Hensley, confiding soul, did know the Robinsons, and- when thq stranger paid, “ The old man’A an uncle of mine,” and, “My name’s J. L. Robinson,” his confidence, went out with a gush and he was ready to submH to the plucking which the scoundrel was preparing* for' him. Robinson, for such he may be called, shook the honest hand that was extended by the farmer, and said that he was doubly rejoiced to Sieet him, since he, too, was going to pringfipld, afid they could journey together. •* After%oihe ftirther conversation upon ummrartant topics, the thief invited the “ grtty’j to accompany him to dinner, »ut, as Hensley had contracted for a meal at a. tayern” near the depot, hexlfclmefi and the two men separated. Aboutoin trelafik, last evening, while the farmer ,was seated jn the waitingth® djpot, Robinson came in, and rehewtn the' acquaintance by remrnking that sopie time.would elapse beftrt triiln YQUI4 start. Theconveisation ran upon several subjects for a few S, when Robinson said he had some urehases to make up town, and 1 glad to have Hensley’s company. The latter was willing to go and did go, and therein is to be found one of the most hit|t< . experiences of his life, for Robinson sras a.yillain and a thief, and during Msabee nee, after the morning’s interview, had laid his plans for robbing the farmer of <his money. The thief lea the way, and the two men were soon on Eleventh street., between Spruce and Poplar Streets, & locality well fitted to be the

scene of the dirty work in contemplation. were leisurely along, party to the scheme came running toward arern, and accosting Robinson, said: “ I hake just delivered year goods at the depot, and, let me .say, that one of the iraikages/containiufvalaablearticles, has been broken in transit, and, unless some one is by to watch, you will be robbed.” Of course Robinson had something to say upon the necessity of returning a# once to the depot, and turned about, to do so, «hen his confederate played his second card, by remykipg thathe was instructed to collect olr deiivety. At this, Robinson, with mud* fumbling, drew from his pocket pyportiffi to be 4 bond and tendered it to Uh comerfeiate. y The latter could not accept that in paytnent, as he was not prepared to furnish the change. Robinson then offered a draft for SBOO, “ drawn qp? Jfew Wk and ebrtifled,” but the commodate his new founl friend wlth a loan util they returned to the depot?

He could, and did, handing over to the voracious Robinson the entire proceeds of his pork sale, $575. The bill U Appeared was “only <571,” and the four dollars difference was returned to the farmer with the remark that he might have occasion to need ft before they returned to the depot. As the confederate turned to leave he reminded Robinson of the necessity of having “those goods” watched, saying that he would not be accountable for them if stolen. With a well-feigned look pf anxiety, which only served to excite the former’s sympathy, Robinson asked Henslev If he would not return to the depot and watch the goods until his return, as he must got a receipt for the.money paid. Without a shadow of doubt as to the honesty of the request, the farmer consented to do so and started back, instructed to “loek for some boxes marked J. L. Robinson." He failed, of course, to find such packages, but it was not until he had, ransacked almost every room in the depot that he began to smell a rat. ‘Acting on the advice of some one to whom he told his story, he hurried to the Chief of Police, and laid bare his woes. He could give no sort of description Of the thieves—whether they were tall or short, thick or thin, such effect had they had upon his mind. The Chief afforded him such small consolation as he could, but as Hensley could furnish no ground upon which to work the case, there is little hope of his recovering his money. He started for home last night upon the money returned to him by Robinson, with his eyeteeth cut, and thoroughly sick of St. Louis.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat.,

English Pensions.

The English often complain of the heavy expense with which their Government is carried on, and the "large taxes •which rich and poor have to pay to sustain it. One of the largest items of this expense is created by the pensions which are yearly paid out of the treasury. The custom of awarding pensions to a great variety of persons, and for a great variety of reasons, is a very ancient one in England, and. is so firmly rooted that it would be very difficult to abolish or even to curtail it. Yet that it has grown to be a great burden and evil, is seen and confessed by most Englishmen. In this country, pensions are only given to the soldiers and sailors who have fought in defense of .the Nation; in England they are given not only to soldiers, but to statesmen and officials, to writers, artists- and sculptors, to inventors, travelers and dis-

coverers. The largest pensions, or annual incomes, that are paid from the English treasury are those awarded .to the royal family. Besides the enormous income of about $2,000,000 received by the Queen, for instance, Prince Albert had an annuity of $150,000 a year. When the Queen’s oldest daughter was married, Parliament voted her a dowry of $200,000, and an annual income of $40,000 besides. The Prince of Wales receives about $300,000 a year in the same way. The whole amount taken every year from the treasury to pay the annuities of the royal family reaches $2,800,000. Every officeholder under the British Government, after serving for a certain period, is entitled to retire upon a pension for life, The same is the case with army and navy officers. Some of the pensions paid to the high dignitaries on their withdrawal from oft flee are very large. For example, the Lord-Chancellor, the highest law officer, who also presides over the House of Lords, and takes rank above the highest Duke, gets SIO,OOO a year for life on retiring. He may only have held the office for six months, or even less. The mere fact that he has been Chancellor entitles hira to a pension. Besides these pensiofls'to public officials, a large number is given for a great variety of reasons. The House Mininter has every year the sum of £1,200 at his disposal for life pensions, to be given to people who have claims upon the royal bounty, who have done some personal service to the Crowh, who have made useful discoveries, or have done something in literature or art.

Other pensions are given for something that ancestors or relatives of .the persons receiving them have done in the past. Some of the reasons for giving these are very curious. For example, there are now living two gentlemen who receive $2,000 a vear for life, because their ancestors aided Charles 11. to escape from the battle of Worcester, two centuries ago. A German baroness gets the same sum for having faithfully seived Queen Victoria for eighteen years All those who instructed the Queen in her early years—her French, dancing and singing masters, draw SSOO a year for life. The daughters of Sir Huuson Lowe, who treated Napoleon so cruelly when he was a prisoner at St. Helena, get $250 a year for their father’s services in that respect; and the daughters of Sir George Cathcart get $1,500 a year for that officer’s gallant conduct at Inkerman. Many writers receive comfortable pensions, which they are sure of having to the end of their lives. Tennyson, who as Poet Laureate is expected to write an ode when a prince or princess gets married, draws SI,OOO a year for this slight and not frequent service. The widows of Tom Hood and Douglas Jerrold, and some others, have SSOO a year. You can easily see that all these pensions, the number of which, of course, is constantly increasing, make up an ennrmous expense. Very many of them are given without any good reason; and there is a vast deal of grumbling about them in England. But it will probably be long before they are done away with. — Youth,'» Companion.

“Millions In It."

Riding down one of the canyons in the neighboring 1, says a Colorado letter in the Liberal Christian, I came upon a log hut by the side of a stream. Beyond it was a potjito patch, in which a woman in a huge sun-bonnet and five Baie-legged children were digging out their morning meal. As I neared the spot an unsavorylooking man, with sdapy locks and unkempt beard, appeared at the door ax in hand. Saluting him, I inquired my way, and incidentally alluded to the' mining operations along the Canyon. ‘ ‘ They don’t know nothing ’bout mining in this district,” returned the wood-cutter, for such he was. “It takes a man that has been all through Californy and Arizoqy to know how to work a lead. Beta' alt through them countries, stranger, I have. Reckon I could put ’em up to a thing or twe. Am I mining jnysclt? Wall, yes, generally I be, I’ve got a mine that betas anything in the Territory. I m ail right, I am—l’ve got all I want. What is it? Platiny, sir! Platioy! Not working it just now, sir; no. I’m thinking ot taking my family down to the Centennial,- I am. rd like to show off a little to the boys. That’flall right, I reckon, if * inta’sgot the color, ain’t it? Expensive

trip. Of course, of course, but expense ain't do account to me. Why, I reckon I'm worth a million and a half!” (This with emphasis.) I felt; ’ and ‘no doubt looked, sufficiently Impressed, but could not help casting a dubious glance at the ragged group in the potato field. “ Them's my wife and children, sir—healthy looking, hey f We’re only a-stay-ing here for our health, like. Fine afr, sir, fine air—finest con airy In the world, sir I Where is mme located f l Over yonder.” and he swept the horizon vaguely with his thumb? “ It’g, kivettd up with brush, sir, now. Needs capital, sir, to develop It. But I kin command it, I kin. Like you to sea a.- piece of the ore, sir. The man down at the toll-gate, he’s got some of it. You ask him and he’ll show you a bit of rock as is a sure cure for sore Ses— you just bet your life on that. ichest thing in the Territory, sir.” Then, in a confidential whisper, he added, “ I don’t mind letting you in on a small interestr-rif you’ve got capital, mind! Capital alone, sir, kin git a foot of that lode. Not that I want, to sell— ncsir! Well, good day, stranger—She you again —you go and look at that there rock at the toll-gate—that’s all.” And giving his sombrero a lofty pull over his eyes, and shouldering hw ax, this incipient Col. Sellers strode grandly away, leaving me duly awe-stnsck and admiring.

A Chinese Legend.

He fastened his quegr eyes on, an overcoat at the door, ana ,the fepk on*his. face showed that he was searching f 6» something of Jh« kind. » “ Nice goat—sLuM fit—ehekpj iff brice, and off der most exquisite quality; six dollars dakes it,”, explained the, clothier. “Ugh! ugh!” shivered the Chinaman, smiling blandly, jU^ifhe wanted to carry the idea that it was a warm inoming. “You need d6t goat,” cpntinqed the dealer. “You aresnufitfreezlhgtobieces in your tracks,” “Thlee dlollar huff, alle same," replied the Chinaman, his sleeve across, his forehead, as If fo‘wij>€ hway perspiration. “Go away, you man frqm Bhina>—go away to some sthore where dey Mas sheap shoddy goods!” exclaime<JJhe clothier. “ John” passed on, turned the corner, and, as the wind from’ ifie fMretrudr hiiff in a new plqco, he jumped clear from the walk and; his teeth stfruck together. He tumped back, and as he neared the cloth ier’U [he his hat and fanned himself. “ Do youwant pot goat ar notf” asked the dealer.

■ ‘‘Welly hotee to-day,” replied John, still fanning himself and puffing heavily. “ Mysouls! ohs Kdw call yon aril such wedder hot ? Hefens alife, but I has seven stoafs going up stairs to keep my family warm! ..

He’imtA ”-nave‘ an overcoat* it some price, and, fie again turned “80 yod has come Tor dotinice gota??’ queried the dealer, as he met him again. “ Awful hotee!” gasped John, *wiping his face and fanning himself. “ My heferiS! buVtrhfft a queer peoples dose folks are!” sighed the dealer. “Fo’ dollar. ancLhalfy; plenty, nufiy, alle same,” said John, looking at the coat. ’ *'': ' “Mysouls! my souls! but dese sheap prices will preak me down before night! Howefer, I m*ust liaf rtoney to pay my taxes, and dot goat is yours.” "Big hotee—woosh!” exclaimed John as he counted out the money and saw the coat come down.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

—For troubles on a farm there are two remedies—work and hope. —Most of the corn crop is sound and will be merchantable in any market. But that is not the best way to do it. Feed to hogs, cattle of horses for market. —An article that will be dear for at least another year is starch. Many mills in New England,will not start up, as the stock of potatoes is so small that there isn’t enough to go round. —4man is known by his cattle. If he is kind and attentive, and has a gentle word or pat for them, it has a soothing effect. and they will stand around and enjoy his presence, secrete more milk, and take on more fat. This is the proper period now for farmers to test fully some of the mdny problems in feeding stock. There are several questions of vital importance unsettled, and how is a good time for farmers who desire to do good. —ln the fluctuations of trade the fanner who is out of debt can feel happy and independent. He is sure of shelter from the storms—enough to eat Und comfortable clothing. These are necessaries of life, and any farmer can have them. —There is no danger of the products of the farmer getting out of fashion. So we can safely keep on producing bread, milk, butter, cheese, pork, beef, mutton, poultry, fruit, potatoes, eggs, etc., without any danger of unfashionable things being left on our hands.— Exchange.

—ln protecting trees and shrubbery from winter, keep in mind .that it is not always the intense cold that kills. But it is the effect of frequent freezing and thawing.

Lueky Farmers.

Not long since in returning from a brief trip Into Southern Michigan we 'fell in with an acquaintance who resides in one of the flofiriAhing towns of that splendid region of country known as the St. Jo Valley. While passing through a section where our friend knew every farmer in a circuit of, twenty miles, conversation drifted into the agricultural channel, so to speak; the chief topic being therdifferenoe- in the success of men who have lived, in the same vicinity for years, : in> getiihg on in fife world, sphere tfeqir occupation exclusively is, ana has been, the cultivation of their farms. “ Now, there,” said our friend, “ isMr. G’s farm. His land ’was no better at the start than tha| of his neighbors, but it; yields better crops on an Average, and somehow or other he always gets more money out of it than any pf them do from 'theirs. There’ are men who,' to 7 all, ap-j pearances, work as hard, and plan as weft, but one year with another he gets away with them when it coines to crops and prices. He makes it pay. The fact is, he is lucXy.” / We suggested that this iMc consists in the intelligent use, bythe man, of his brains. And therein is the pecret of his success. Lucky farmers are those who ensure luck by bringing to bear upon their farming the. best knowledge they are able to command', from whatever, source it may be obt&Ufed. There never was a more mistaken notion entertained by mortal man, than that farming can be carried on profitably and successfully with no knowledge on the farmer’s part beyond the routine of ordinary methods in its various department.. ■ It is not our desire to indite a homily upon poor farming, but node know better, than intelligent farmers themselves, that there is vast room for improvement among the masses who are engaged in thia, the greatest of all human pursuits. Knowledge is the great want of American farthers—knowledge how best to increase. the productiveness of land. for, as we have often said before, the highest aim of every judicious and intelligent fanner is to increase, at the least expense, the fertility of his soil until it reaches the u&fimum in producing crops; knowledge how to improve the quality of his stock by judicious crossing and treatment, so that he will realize the highest profits for his beef, pork, dairy products, etc., for what it costs to raise and fit the animals for market; knowledge of the best methods and processes in the cultivation pf t£e various crops which it is to hfs-interest to raise. In short, knowledge is the key ito unlock the wealth ffifft rttrides'-in the scil—not as' a temporary deposit to be improyldently wasted, but a mine to be madqlncre productive and remunerative from .Wording it. The man who farms it on tmt Idea recognizes the importance of brain as well as brawn in his business. He will not sacrifice his soil under jmy circumstances; he manages so that his land is favored by the crops it bears, or in other words, so tl|fd> he adds more elements of fertility to it than he takes from it. Skill is required to do this; but therof£<jjarmqrß wfip de it i and these are they who 'achieve the highest profits in thp long run -the ferity farmers, if you please. Simple .routine farming—plowing and sowing and' reaping at hap-haEara—will not Wit, and pot onrjr so, it will carry the farmer farther ana ftirther from it until the rotund) from the land will not pay the cost of production.— Wetiorn Rural.

Iron Rust as a Cause of Fire.

' The rather old notion that fires may be caused by iron rust is thus defended by a , recant English writer: ** When oxide of iron is placed in contact with timber excluded from the atmosphere, and aided by a slightly increased temperature, the oxide pans with its oxygen, and is converted into very finely divided particles of metallic iron having such aft affinity foi oxygen that, when afterwards exposed tn the action of the atmosphere from any cause, oxygen is absorbed so rapidly that tbesb particles become suddenly red hot, I and, if in sufficient quantity, wUI produce

a temperature fhr beyond the ignition point of dry timber. Wherever iron pipes are employed for the circulation of any heated medium (whether hot water, hot dr, or steam), an« wherever these pipes are allowed to become rusty, apd are also in close contact with timber, It is only necessary to suppose that under these circumstance* the finely divided particles df metallic iron become exposed to the action of the atmosphere (and this may occur from the mere expansion or contraction of the plff&ij fn order to account for many of the fires which periodically take place at the cppynencement of the winter season.” 1 t

How the Eye Becomes Perfected.

Science gives us interesting details about what the human eye has been and trbat it may. become. The Vedas of India, which are the most ancient written documents, attest that in times the most remote, but still recorded in history, only two colors were known, black and red. A ‘vtry long-time elapsed before the eye arrived at the ’perception of the color yellow, and a still longer time before green was distinguished; and It is remarkable .that ip the most ancient languages the terms which designated yellow insensibly passed to the signification of green. The Greeks had, according to the received opinion now, the perception of colors very well developed; and yet authors of a more recent date assure us that in the time »f Alexander, Greek painters had for fundamental colors only white, biaqk, red and yellow. The words to designate blue and violet Were wanting “to the Greeks in the most aaclent times of their histoiy; they called these colors grey and'black. It is thus that the colors of I the. rainbow were oply distinguished .gradually, and the great Aristotle only knew fourof them.''fit is 'a well-ktiown fact that when the colors of the prism are photographed there remains outside the limit of the blue and violet in the spectrum a fiistipst impression, which our do. not reboghize as a'color. Accordinte to physiologists, a time Will'come when the! human eye will be perfected so as to discern tjiis color as well as the others.—Jreu/cif Press and Circular.
