Terror Number One.

Evehy dat the bull-trains, mulo teams and stages roll into the Black Hills with their loads of “ fresh lish,” as the veterans sSgSrafl&Sfe&S houses and saloons, get a meal or a lunch, and are presently soen up and down the sheets of the frontier city or collectjnrfoif (lie fofaerg, to* hep tljte latest news from the dfegtngs-anathfe pVdsfects of striking a job, yx The other,day, when 8 waeou-load of bull-hCanswasdntnpedoaMn CuaMtCity, as ,waeo«-loads had been dumped out every day before since grass started 1 , the first n>an to welcome them to the infant city was u chap five fcet'high, and weighing accprdihgly• There was a blbod-stain on his left fefteek, a scfcr oh-hih*lHght,' i ah(l SMMMHLW^ShE He was whittling qut fi tenpin with a big bowie-knife aa the/Wfgoo drove up, and, pushing the. knife down the back of his neck, he pfted up a Henry rifle, rah his eye over th<? crowd, and called pat, in an awful voice: 5 ‘ Is there anybody in that crowd looking for Terror No. IV Kase, if' there is, here I am; and I’m just aching to be shot fulLof bullets weighing a pound apiece!” Jfo ope was looking for him. dome looked it him and some looked across the street on purpose not to see him, while therfe was a uniform movement toward nip-pockets. *• ' ‘ *•‘l didn't know but that some of vou might have come! out here! from New York on Boston to plant, me under the sweet jessamine or the climbing mornine-giory!” chuckled tiie Terror, as he rested the butt of his rifle on thq_ ground M»d fished up a six shooter from hie boot-leg. / There were men from New York and Boston in the party, but they didn't want to bury anybody just then. “ ifcoi’tfown tlii/ optitinaed the Terrof, ad he laid rfsflnlul ajnjjr § acres* tlie head of a barrel.

An hour later, when a party of five strangers from New England were making the acquaintance of the infernal beverages on sale in ope of the shanty saloons, and at the same time pumping the proprietor about prospects, in walked the Terror. He looked as fleroe as a cataBlount cheated out of her dessert, and there was an awful growl in his voice as he Called out: *

i Five o'clock by Omalia time, and I haven't killed or been killed this whole day long! Tarn loose your pet grizzlies, knkiteh your whirlwinds, and let a dozed irttd lions come for me at once I” “ Take something to. drink, my good friend,” 'raild3y replied the saloouisL m#ou ale always welcome 3r»id to»pw o«t wai^*^ * "To tell the honest tgnth, Wteve,” said the Terebr, ip bftjsHttedoat nearly half a pint of the worst whißkV ever made, "l nauwin heve.tOidiati someone: bat yon are a white man clear down toyoui toe-nails, and I won't SraWßriti row. That's good whisky, that isl and if you, want anyone 4n Caster (Sty.pwt ;under ground, jptt give .me bis name. Can you think of anyone?” The saloon-keeper reflected for a moment, as he ! sldwly wiped'off his bar with an old chlicO apron, and finally he replied : ■- ■ . ~ u No, I don’itluiik of anyone just now; but something wiili probably turn up in a day or two. Anytime you feel thirsty come in and help yourself.” One of the five men had formerly been a molder in a Troy stove-foundry, and he had been closely watching the Terror. " All df a sudden lie held out hie 1 hand for A shake, cheerfully'observing- > I'll bet 100 to 1 that we used to work, board and room together.” . ,• •

The Terror reached out his hand, olosely scanned the moMer’s/face, and after a moment he shid «te the .whole-five: ■" Gentlemen, come out doors .and take -seataon thn .bench. .Xhattin to know this man, and I don’t want to answer any « Well; find you the biggest cowards east of Chicago, and now.

Want to see me bad, do you?” "For Heaven’s sakel don’t raise a row with met” whispered the Sheriff, as be

There are twenty notches in the stock of this rifle. These' talks around here have got an idea that I have killed, twenty men in rows or fair fights—but I never even shot atone.”, ■f There was a period of silence, and then tlie Terror continued: V There's money in it, and it’s rather {pleasant to be top of the heap, but this hlng can’t, last long.

I’ve been square and honest with you, and row don’t give mp away.” 'At that moment three men on horseback c*me down the street, and the Terror jumped out with a screech and shouted: “ Here’s the hollyhock you are looking for. Here’s the modest violet who wants to be carved up and fed to the wolves!"’ They weren’t looking for him, and they got away on a gallop. The party from the East went out among the diggings and were absent a whole week. When they returned to Custer City they inquired lor the Terror, and a hotel-keepen replied: “Yes; they did use to call him the Terror, I believe, but they didn’t know him. He was whooping around here in his usual awful style three or four days ago, sweftring that he must kill somebody, when a tinsmith from Dayton, Qhlo, took his rifle and bowie-knife away, spit tobac-co-juice on his hat, and then kicked him the whole length of this street. The Terrpr was an awful coward, gentleman—a regular rag-baby, timber the. bed—and he’ll never be seen in Custer again.”— N. F. Sun.

A Mathematical Dog.

Sows time ago 5 sent you my recollectibns of a dog who knew a halfpenny from a penny and who could count up as far as two. I have been able to obtain authentic information of a dog whose mental powers were still more advanced, and who, inf his day, beside being celebrated for his abil ties,'was of substantial benefit to a charitable institution in his town. The dog I refer to was a little white fox terrier, Prin by name, who lived at the Lion Hotel at Kidderminster for three or four years; but now, alas! he is dead, and nothing remains of hint hut his head in a glass case. I bad beard of this dog some months ago, but'having to make a visit to Kidderminster recently I went to see him. Tlie facts I give about him are based on the statements of Mr. Lloyd, his toaster, and they are fully substantiated by the ovidenee of many others. I have before me astatement of the proceeds of “Dog Prirys box, Lion Hotel; subscriptions to the Infirmary.” The contributions began in (September, 1874, and ended on April 25, 1874, and during that period the sum of £l3 14s. 6d. was contribute.! through Prin’s instrumentality. He began by displaying a fancy for playing with coins, hot unusual among terriers, and he advanced to a discovery that he could exchange the coins for biscuits. He learnt that for halfpenny he could get one biscuit, and for a penny, three; and having became able to distinguish between the two coins, it was found impossible to cheat him. If he had contributed a penny, he would not leave the bar tiiljhe had bed his third biscuit; and if there was nd one to attend to his wants, he kept the coin in his mouth till he could be served. Indeed, it was this persistence which ultimately caused poor Prin’s death, for there is every Feason to fear that he fell a victim to copper poisoning. By a little training , he was taught to placp the coins, after he had got the biscuits, upon the top of a small box fixed op the wall, and (they were dropped for him through a slot. He never objected to pant with them in this way, and having received the quid pro quo, he gave complete cVidCnee of his appreciation of the hoporable understanding which is so absolutely 'necessary for all commercial transactions.— Cor. London Spectator.

Cheap Things.

What a fascination dwells to that one little word, cheap , and how It lures on the nppst wary ; and frugal housewife into buying! 11 Such bargains!” says your enthusiastic friend who has just, been purchasing, and straightway you are touched with her enthusiasm. Haven’t we seen it dozensof tlmee, and tried it too? You Want “to make one dollar do the work of two; you read eagerly the flaming advertisements of goods almost given away, sad you start hopefully on your pilgrimage to distant parts of the city, land bring back, what? In niae cases out TOtOßtfiothiitg hat experience. ' Still, the word does not lose its charm, even after many disappointments. We like to see the woman who could pass a shop window unconcernedly where ""Selling Off Below Cost!” appears in staring capitals, or who coaid hasten past a shop door without investigation when stacks of dress goods are labeled with the tempting announcement, “ Reduced to Half Price!” If such a woman exists we confess that she is thus far nnkuown to us, and we Sye a lively cpriosity to gaze upon the omaly.' Hen laugh at this "feminine weakness,” as they grandly call it, but the Kith is that they are quite as much given buying bargains as tbeir mothers or sisters or wives. Quite as much, did I sav ? Why, they are ten times worse! , Take a man into an auction-store, and he will commit extravagances enough to appal any woman of ordinary prudence, for he will buy things not ouly useless, but positively in the way; and yet be sublimely unconscious all the time that he has done the very thing he ridicules so Ofterf.' Now this whole subject of cheapness hinges upon two time-honored sayings, as true as they are ancient, thus: Nothing is cheap that you do not want, and a poor -article is,always dear. These two rules -*4ll sufllotf Cor our guidance in this matter of cheapness, ana if it be said that tS# are iweil known already, why, so much the better:; All that is necessary is to apply them to action, good mends, never buying.what you do not want, and making-op your minds that no shop-keep-er can afford to sell first-class goods at fourth-rate prices; Be as economical as your circumstances demand; bay as few things as possible, if your purse is slen der; but let those few things be worth having.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Oniono'cure sleeplessness. A good way to .clean black kid gloves, says the Scientific American , is to take a teaspoonfVt! of salad oil (sweet oil), drop a few drops of .ink in jt and rub it over the gloves wita the tip of a feather; then let them dry in the auto. Botmcd Parsnips.— Pare carefully, and, if large, cu( lengthwise in halves. Put them into boiling salted water, and cook ‘till tender. Bervc them mashed, or plain, with meltqd butter. They are a good accompaniment to Salt fish and boiled pork. Paris-green 1$ the only effectual remedy for potato-bugs. Tlie safest way to ÜBe it is with water, about a teaspoonful to two gallon*- of water. A line wisp broom is a good instrument to apply it with when the potato vines are ary.— lowa State Register. Mrs. Mili.kk’s Brown Bread.— Half a cup flour; one cup Indian meal; two cups'of Graham flour; two-thirds of a cup of molasses;, one tablespoonful of soda, in sour or buttermilk to make a thick batter; teaspoonful of salt. Steam three hours, then put it in oven to dry. Runaway Cake.— One-half cup sugar, one cup milk, two eggs, one spoonful butter, one teaspoonful soda and two of cream tartar, flour to make a stiff batter. This is a good tea-cake, plain or with berries stirred in for the summer season, or currants for winter. Being plain it is only good when freshly baked. Potato Pie Crust.— Put a teacupful of rich sweet cream to six good-sized potatoes after they have been well boiled and mashed fine. Add salt to taste, and flour enough to roll out the crust. Handle it as little as possible. This paste is excellent for apple dumpling or meat pies, and may be eaten by the most confirmed dyspeptic. Mrs. Rea’s Molasses Pound-Cake.— One cup .of butter, one of SHgar, one of molasses, one of milk, one teaspoonful of allspice, one of cinnamon, half teaspoonfal of nutmeg, two tablespoonfuls of ginger, two eggs, or.e teaspoonful of cream of tartar, one-half of soil a, sufficient flour to make the same as pound cake. Bake in cups or small tins. The London Garden says that a fine effect is produced by training petunias: He procures a number of hazel rods, each about two feet long, bends them line hoops and drives both ends of them into the bed, placing them at suitable intervals all over it. On these he ties and trims his petunias, which blossom more abundantly under this treatment. Petunias have been successfully treated as if sweetpea vines and trained on a slanting trellis. The trailing habit ot this plant, especially late in the season, is not always sufficiently considered.

Growing Weeds.

How many tons of useless weeds does every farm grow annually? It would be a good exercise in arithmetic to determine this problem. It is a law of nature that all spaces must be filled with something. Nature abhors a vacuum, and from the opening spring, “ when every clod feels a stir cf might,” until autumn, the earth eontiu ues to send up into the air these veg etable forms. True economy in culture prevents the growth of weeds entirely. If the ground is frequently stirred weeds will not appear at all. It is when the processes of culture are suspended nature asserts her prerogative and occupies the whole domain. No one expects to rid his soil of weed seeds to that degree that there will never be any more to molest. Wherever and whenever there are heat, light and moisture, weeds will appear. The true policy Is for every farmer to provide himself with the ready means of destroying them. Among hoed crops a cheaply-construct-ed one horse harrow is a veiy effoctive implement. Any one can construct it, and by the aid of a blacksmith in forming the teeth the whole cost need not exceed two dollars. This can be u«ed among small growing crops and among corn and potatoes as soon as the rows are visible, and even sooner. We have had a tool just made in the form of an old-fashioned onehorse cultivator with nine teeth, which are made offlve-ighth by one inch Swedes iron, or horse-shoe bar, rounded at the top with a nut and screw, and the lower points drawn out forward a little and flattened. lit is an excellent tool for working close to young plants, for loosening the soil and destroying the weeds. It is made without a wheel in front—cheap, though durable; one eannot keep crops free from weeds without good tools. We have seen corn fields kept clean wit® nothing but a common plow and hoe, but the hand labor was too great. As a hand-tool, the common hoe is altogether behind the flat-tined potato-hook. One of these hooks will do the work of two hoes. —Detroit I'ribune.

Neglect of Pastures.

This is the only country in the world—where any pretensions are made to good farming—Uiat no attention is given to improving pastures. In taking up a new form, the poorest portion ts invariably set apart for the pasture. After the best portions are planted and sown to annual crops, as long as they will pay the cost of cultivation, the land is seeded down to grass. This is cut and cured for hay, till the farmer is ashamed of (he small amount he gets from an acre, when he concludes that he will convert the field into a pasture. He seldom seems to think that his pasture is his great source of wealth; that his cows get from it the materials which furnish milk; that the grass it produces makes most of the wool, beef and mutton he has to sell; and that ail his young cattle obtain tbeir living from the pasture about seven months in every year. He seems to forget that he and his teams work all summer chiefly to obtain food which the stock consumes during the winter, while his pastures furnish a supply for a longer pet iod, without any labor being expended upon them. Land once turned out to pasture is doomed to neglect so long as it is devoted to that purpose. Weeds and bushes are permitted to spring up and spread at will. Aa the grass, in places, becomes killed out, the spots are allowed to remain bairen. A large proportion of the stock kept in tbe pasture are yarded at night, and most of their droppings are left, whence they are taken to cultivate fields. Even those that fall ou. the pasture are not broken up and scattered, as they should be. Tie rank grasses which spring up, but Which are not eaten by the stock, are allowed to seed, and in this way gradually extend over a large portion of the ground. No Western farmer thinks to apply farm-yard, mineral or commercial fertilizers to his pasture. If a portion of tt happens to become rich by the cattle, sheep or colts remaining on it during the night, the chances are that he will plow it up and put it in cultivated crops; and turn out another piece of land that is in too poor condition to produce corn, grain or hay ~

In England, pastures receive constant attention, and increase in 'productiveness year by year. They sre generally in so high sstatoof fertility that a good crop of hay may be harvested from them, If tiie stock is taken off, as is done occasionally. They are manured like lanija which produce annual crops, the fertilizers being applied late ia the fall or very early in the spring. They are ordinarily mown ■t least once every season, so as to keep down tlie weeds and coarse grasses. By cutting them off, short grasses spring up, while the weeds and rank grasses that are cut down help enrich the soil. The tart, once well established, may not be turned during a century; but it is occasionally scarified by a utensil made especially for the purpose, so as to lay bare sgme fresh soil, on which the seed of more valuable grasses may be Bown. A greut variety of grasses is produced on English pastures, and attention is given to seeding peculiar soils and locations with grasses that arc adapted to them. In this country little or no attention 1b given to this matter, but the grasses are left to establish themselves ’as best they will. In some localities w'hite clover, redtop and blue grass, all good pasture grasses, will, by a process of self-feeding or extension of their roots, establish themselves over A considerable amount of ground. Under unfavorable circumstances, however, sorrel, burdock, thistles and coarse grasses will take possession of the land. —Chi capo Times.

Management of Fruit Trees.

What may be now a tender, quickgrowing sprout, will, in October, be a strong, woody branch, and perhaps a branch just where it is not wanted, and which must be removed by the use of a saw or strong knife. At the right time the shoot could have been rubbed off, and not only the trouble of .removing the branch avoided, but the useless growth would .have been directed to parts where it wa3 needed. If one has a careful eye to his young trees, he can, by rubbing off a bud or shoot here and pinching a shoot there, so direct the growth that by the time the trees come into bearing they will be of proper form, and very little work will be required of the pruning saw and chisel. If large limbs are to be removed from neglected trees, this month or next (according to locality —at any rate, when the spring growth is made and the leaves have attained full size and substance) is by many preferred for the work, as wounds now heal rapidly. Cut all lurge wounds smooth with a drawing-knife, and cover with shellac varnish, melted grafting-wax, or thick paint. Borers do not breed in the tree, as some suppose. Every borer in the tree went in. The parent winged insect laid the egg on the bark. The little borer hatched out at once bored its way into the tree, and there it will stay until it comes out a perfect insect, or is cut out, or is punched to death in the hole. But please observe, no patent stuff that is to be laid in the crotch of the tree, no stuff' that you may paint on the trank, no “ invigorator,” or anything that you apply to the soil to be taken up by the roots and thus poison the borer, will be of any earthly use. While you are fussing with «uch treatment the borer is quietly at work, perhaps stopping now and then to laugh at the folly of the performance. Cut with the knife and punch with wire. The slug, so-called, but which is really a caterpillar, will appear, especially on the pear and cherry-leaves, and, unless checked, often makes sad work. It is a dark-green leech-like creature, that leaves a slimy trail. Slaked lime, dusted from a coarse bag at the end of a pole, will soon end it. In a dry time fine dust from the road may be thrown into the trees With igood effect.—AT. T. Independent.

Reformatory Influence of Music.

A reporter of the Chronicle who recently visited the Industrial School was very much impressed by what be saw and learned there concerning not only the taming, but the reforming and refining influence of a " concord of sweet sounds.” Attached to the institution is a music teacher who has at all times in active training a number of boys, who perform on the various instruments that make up a brass band. This teacher, v/ho is an intelligent German, and, to all appearances, an able instructor, testifies to the wonderful efficacy of music in softening the rugged natures of the boys who are sent to the school, usually because they are uncontrollable by parents or guardians. He says he has noticed the singular fact that boys whose aversion to learning was so great that they could not or would not acquire even a knowledge of their “a-b, abs,” took hold with evident relish of the comparativffly difficult study of theoretical music, and In a very short space of time mastered the notes sufficiently to be able to read a tolerably hard score or piece oi music. This seemed to him like a phenomenal phase, and he can only account /or it on the ground that a love of music is inherent in the average bad boy. He has usually in training a band of twenty pieces, but he says that this number he could easily augment at any time to two. tnree or even four times as many, for he very rarely finds a boy that has not a taste for some musical instrument. The greatest trouble he has yet encountered in the formation of his bands is the fact that as soon as his pupils become really proficient they are ready for a discharge for good conduct, the music possessing such an influence for good over them as to completely reform dispositions that would be otherwise incorrigibly bad. Since he has held the position of music teacher at the institution, boys have been discharged for good and promising conduct who have turned their knowledge of music acquired within the walls of the Industrial Bchool to profitable account. San Francisco Chronicle. —ln a recent letter to the Baltimore American, Jennie June wrote a plaintive true story of what a woman did. I have one to match it: Two or three years ago. an aged mother gave her daughter several thousand dollars to invest for her in some safe and productive securities. By the advice of a friend in Wall street, the daughter was led to purchase certain West Virginia railway bonds. This proved to be a fatal mistake, for in a few montbs the stock became worthless, and the little fortune was lost. As soon as the daughter received the news, she determined by her own exertions to replace every cent of her mother’s money, and never let the de r old lady know that It hau been lost. She did this with her pen, working early and late, denying herself, scouring city and country for information. And she accomplished the task just as Harriet Martineau forced success from the most adverse circumstances. That woman was "Jennie June” Croly herself. —Boston Transcript. —lt would probably be only a laugl - ing matter if a comet should strike the earlh—a little wreck creation, as it were.

Last Christmas, Scrofula made its appearance in my system—large running ulcers appearing on me, as follows: One on each of my arms, one on my thigh which extended to the Beat, one on my head which ate into the skull-bone, oue on my left leg which became so bad that two physicians came to amputate the limb, though upon consultation concluded not td do so, as my whole body was fall of Scrofula; they deemed jt advisable to cat the sore, which was painful beyond description, and there was a quart of matter run from this one sore. The physicians all gave me np to die, and said they could do no mor» for me. Both of my legs were drawu up to my seat, ana it was thought if I did get up sgain'l would lie a cripple for life. When in this condition! saw VEGETINE advertised, and commenced taking it in March, and followed on with it until I had used sixteen bottles, and this morning I am going to plongh corn, a well man. All my townsmen, say it is a miracle to see me round walking and working. In conclusion I will add. when I whs enduring such great suffering from that dreadful disease. Scrofula, I prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this world, but as VEGETINE has restored to me the blessings of health. 1 desire more than ever to live, that 1 may be of some service to my fellow-men. and I know of no better way to ala Buffering humanity, than to inclose yon this statement of my case, with an earnest hope that you will publish it. and it will afford me pleasure to reply to any communication which I m:iv receive therelrom. I am, sir. very respectfullv. WILLIAM PAYN. Avery, Berrien Co., Mich., July 10,1872. ■ » Reliable Evidence. Mr. H. R. Steven : Dear Sir—l will most cheerfully add my testimony to. the great number you have already received in favor of your great and good medicine, VKGBTINE, lor 1 do not think enough can be sgld in its praise, for I was troubled over :t0 years with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had such bad cough ing spells that it would seem as though i could never breathe any more, and VJBGfiTI nK has cared me: snd Ido feel to thunk God all the time that there is so good a medicine as VEGETINE, and 1 also think it one of the best medicines for oonghs and weak, sinking feelings at the stomach, and advise everybody to take the VSGK TINE, for I can assure them it is one of the best medicines that ever was.
