VOLUME 11.
A Chinese I‘arable.
A lady has taken tho trouble to
translate from tho Ghinose the fol~
towing, which points a moral that
may teach a valuable lesson to the Oc
cident as we 11 as the Orient:
Fold, in the couiro of his wander
ings, coming to a village, knocked at
tho door of a rich woman, and beg
ged permission to euter. “What!”
said she, “do you think I receive in
to my house every roviug vagabond ?
No, indeed, it would be unbefitting a
respectable woman, go your way !”
Then be went to the cottage of a
poor woman, who at once kindly beg
ged him to enter. She sat before
him the only food she had, a little
goat’s milk, broke a piece of bread in
to it, and said, “May Fold bless it,
that we both may have enough I”
She then prepared for him a couch
of straw ; and, when he fell asleep,
perceiving he had no shirt, she sat up
all night and made him one out of
some linen ohe had made by her own
hard labor; in the morning she
brought it to him, begging he would
not despise lier poor gift. Afier
breakfast, she accompanied him a lit
tle way ; and at parting, Fohi said,
“May the first work you undertake
last until evening i”
When she got home she began to
measure her linen, to see how much
was left; and she went to measuring,
and did not come to the end of it un
til the evening, when her house and
yard were full of liuen; iu short, sh"
did not know what to do with her
wealth. Her rich neighbor, seeing
this, was sorely vexed, and resolved
that such good fortune should not
esoape her again.
After some months, the travelar
cam : again to the village; she went
to meet him, pressed him to go to
her house, treating with the best food
she had, and in the morning brought
him a shirt of fine linen, which she
had made sometime before, but all
night she kept a candle burning in
her room, that the stranger, if he
awoke, might suppose she was mak
ing his shirt. After breakfast she
accompanied him out of the village;
and, when they parted, he said,
“May the first work you undertake
last thl evening!"
She went her way home, thinking
the whole time of her linen, and an
ticipating its wonderful increase; but
just then her cows began to lov.
“Before I measure my linen,” said
she, ‘I will quickly fetch the cows
some water.”
But when she poured the water in
to the trough, her pail never emptied;
she went on pouring, the stream in
creased, and soon her house and yard
were all under water; the neighbors
complained that everything was min
ed; the cattle we-e all drowned, and
; with difficulty she saved her own life,
for the water , never ceased flowing
until the setting of the sun.

A 'S'laiu in C'olliNion with i;i—
P till IIIH.
Big stories come from big lands —
take the land of Niagara for an cx
ampe. The land of the Himalayas, too,
has its sensational narratives on a
grand scale; and these, with the
spread of the Anglo-Indian press,
are obtaining wider notoriety.
The sea serpent of American waters
lias a rival in the gigantic octopus of
the Indian ocean, which the other
day dragged down under water a
schooner in full sail, the Cap ain ot
which presumed to fire at the floating
monster. Butthe latest anecdote from
India, though sensational enough,
is thoroughly credible. It resembles
closely an incident which is well
known to have occurred several years
ago, when the railway from Madras
to Shorauore, on the Malabin coast,
was first open out for regular traffic.
This time however, the scene is laid
on a railway in India.
Asa train was proceeding at a fair
speed the engine driver noticed a
herd of elephants advancing toward
him along the line. He immediately
sounded the whistle and his assist
ant put on the brake. Tn an instant,
however, they were into tlie herd.
The leading elephant, a huge tusker,
was apparently only enraged by the
whistle, and charged the advancing
train. There was a tremendous con
cussion, the elephant was knocked off
to one side, mu Hated and writhing,
and the train, after a series of vi<>.
lent jolts which nearly threw it off
the line, came to a standstill against
the bodies of two other animals of the
herd. There was not a great deal of l
damage done, but the passengers
were much fright end, and the engine
was considerably baitured about the
front.
The tusker was dispatched by an
English gentleman who was travel
ing in the train, and his tusks secur
ed, after which the train proceeded
on its journey. The remainder of the
herd scampered away, and turned
when about a mile off on a knoll,
looked in a dazed stupid kind of a
way at the train as it moved off.
“I met a poor man the other day
and he began to speak about politics
and die hard times. When I said it
was the nigh taxes that made the
times so bad, lie said, ‘flow can that
be, when I don’t pay any taxes at all?’
‘Don’t you?’said I. ‘I suppose von
sometimes have to buy clothing, don’t
you?’ ‘Oh, no,’ he said, ‘1 cant afford
to buy clothes.’ ‘But you drink cof
ffec or tea?’ ‘Oh, no; I’m too poor to
drink coffee or tea’ [Laughter.]
‘ vVell, then perhaps you buy a drink
of lager once in a while?’ Oh, no;
I would like a little, hut I can't buy
it. [Laughter] And, after saying
this, he put his hand in his pocket
and pulltd out an old wad ot tobacco,
and with a self-complacent air, as if
he had cornored a man that thought
himself smart, he proceeded to take
a quid. ‘Ah,’said I, ‘you use tobac
co. Don’t you know that the gov
ernment collects more tax off from
that article than almost any other?’
I had him there, and he looked as if
he wished he hadn’t taken that chew.”
Judge Barnard, of New York.
A doting mother of a waggish boy,
having bottled a quantity of nice
preserves, labeled them, •‘Put up
by Mrs. Doo.” Johnny, having
discovered the goodies, soon ate
the contents of one bottle, and
wrote on the bottom of the label,
“Put down by Jahnny Doo.”
Origin r I lie
Nutmeg is the kernel ol a small,
smooth, pear-shaped fruit, that
grows on a tree in the Molucca Is
lands and in other parts of the East.
The trees commence bearing in their
seventh year, and continue fruitful
until they are seventy or eighty years
ohTi Around tiia nutmeg or kernel
is a bright brown shell. This shell
has a soft, scarlet covering, which,
when flattened out and dried, is
known as mace. The best nutmegs
are solid and emit oil when pricked
with a pin.
Ginger is the root- of a shrub first
known iu Asia, and now cultivated in
the West Indies and Sierra Leone.
The stem grows three or four feet
high, and dies every year. There
are two varieties of ginger—the
white and ttie black —caused by ta
king more or less care in selecting
and preparing the roots, which are
a ways dug in winter, when the
stems are withered. The white isjthe
best.
Cinnamon is tho inner bark ol a
beautiful tree —a native ol Ceylon—
that grows from twenty to thirty feet
in height, and lives to be centuries
old.
Cloves —native to the Moiucea Is
lands, and so called from resem
blance to a nail. The East Indians
call them “changkek”—from the Chi
nese “techengkia” (fragrant nails.)
They grow on a straiidit, smooth
barked tree about forty teet high.
Cloves are not fruits, but blossoms,
gathered before they are quite unfold
ed
Allspice—a berry so called because
it combines the odor of several spi
ces—grows abundantly on the beau
tiful allspice, or bav-berry tree, a na
tive ot South America ami the West
Indies. A single tree has been
known to prod .ee one hundred and
fifty pounds of berries. Tney are
purple when ripe.
Black pepper is made by grinding
the dried berry of a climbing vine na
tive to the East Indies. White pep
per is obtained trom the same berries,
freed from their husk or rind. lied
or cayenne pepper is obtained by
grinding the scarlet pod or seed-ves
sel of a tropical plant that is now cul
tivated in ali parts of the world.
Possibilities of ait Acre.
No man knows what these are.
We know that two hundred bushels
of corn were once grown on one
acre, and that five bales of cotton
have been made on the same acre
of soil, but we do no! know that
the limits of production were
reached in either case. We
should try to find out that not
merely how much of any given
crop can be produced on one acre
of land, but how cheaply it can be
grown. A big crop may not, in
all cases, be a profitable one.
It may cost too much to make it.
The greatest yield with the smal*
lest possible outlay of capital and
labor is what we aim at. Our far
mers are often too poor, not so much
because their crops are small—
and small they are compared with
what they might be—as because it
costs too much to make them.
We must learn to make larger
crops with less labor. To do this,
we must go over less ground, and
make science and practial skill
properly supplement muscle and
machinery. —Ex

From tho Bin Antonio (Texas) Herald.
Is a Paint .tin to a Ilorsc?
Nothing is more remarkable than
the facility with which the colored
population becomes acqnain'ed with
the forms of law, and the practical
management of a case in court.
There was a striking illustration o*
this fact in the Recorder’s Court the
other morning.
The prisoner was accused of.riding
across one of the bridges at a gait
walk, and the proof was that he gal
loped a paint mule over the Hudson
street bridge, lie managed his own
case;
His Honor said; “I think I’ll fine
you, Johnsing.
“May I ax a few questions ?”
“You may.”
“Isn’t tbar a sign over dat bridge,
warning people how dey must ride ?”
“There is, and that makes you all
the more guilty.”
“It does, does it? Now, Mr, Re
corder, is dat sign what I has to go
by ? Is dat dc law ?”
“It is.”
“Well, den, dat sign reads, ‘Walk
your horse or you will be fined.’
Don’t it—don’t it, boss?”
“It. does, Johnsing”
“Well, de proof is, I was gallopin’
a paint mule, wasn’t it, boss?”
“Y-e-s, I believe so,” replied His
Honor, beginning to smell a rat.
“Now, your Honor is willin’ to ad
mit data paint mule ain’t no boss,
I’ll rest de case heab, because you
see de law is I shall walk my boss,
and it was a paint mule. Dat is fatal
in de indictment. You is a lawyer,
and you ought to know de points
most as well as myself.”
Recorder—“ Ahem ! for the purpose
of this suit I’ll regard that paint mule
as a boss.”
Prisoner —“Your Honor will please
note my ’ception. I jess want to
make one more point. Allowin’s,
tor the sake of argument, data paint
mule is a lioss, de sigh reads: ‘Walk
your lioss.’ Now I has de witness
here in the court to prove dat paint
mule lioss was not my hoss at all.
Do law says walk your hoss.”
Ilecorder—“l’ll fine you $lO, John
sing.”
And as Johnson was conducted to
the lock-up he expressed great sym
pathy for the taxpayers, as ho in
tended to bring a suit for SIOO,OOO
damages for false imprisonment.
He is now, however, at work on
the street.
To iHuke Cows Ciive Milch.
A writer who says that his cow
gives all the milk that is wanted in a
family of eight persons, and from
which was made 260 pounds of but
ter iu the year, gives the following as
the treatment:
“If you desire to get a large rich
milk, give voir cow three times a day
water slightly warm, slightly salted,
in which bran bas been stirred at the
rate ot one quart to two gallons of
water. You will find, it you have
not already found it out, that by the
daily practice of this, youi cow will
gain 25 per cent, immediately under
the effect of it! She will become so
attached to the diet as to refuse to
drink clear water unless very thirsty,
but, this mess she will eat most any
time, and ask for more. The amount
of this is an ordinary water pail, full
each time, morning, noon and night..
Your animal will then do her best at
discounting the lacteal. Four hun
dred pounds of butter is obtained
from good stock, and instances are
mentioned where the yield was even
at a higher figure.

[At odd times 1 have composed aimplcrhyraes

in your valuable paper occasionally, as I tran

‘‘l LOVE.”
The strongest passion that is known,
Which binds two sep’rate hearts in one.
That keeps the inanlj bosom true,
And nerves the maiden heart to do;
That doth the soul of pleasure prove,
Is best expressed in this ‘illoyo."
Of Chrtstain faith, the corner stone,
Tho living lightithat erstwhile shone,
From tear-stained, bleeding Cavnry,
Across time’s restless, storm-tossed sea,
The only pledge of joys above,
Is saving, infinite, “I lore.”
The potent charm of earth and skies,
The only joy that never dies,
The sweet sesame that opes the doors
Of mansions, bright with golden floors,
Which Heaven’s boundless kind nose prove,
la Gods-crcatci, pure, “I lave."
It brightens life, makes sorrows less,
It is the sun of happiness.
So lot thy heart, sweet maiden, say,
“I love! I love!” from day to day.
Then in thy gentle eyes will shina
A tender radiance divine.

A BLACK HILL JICIDEST.
He was coming down Main street
the other day with revolver in each,
bootleg, and just a little topheavy,
when a man happened to rub against
him in passing. Our bloodthirsty he
ro of the boots jumned oft the side
walk, and flourishing a pistol aloft,
yelled: “Now, look yer, everybody
in this yer gulch; lookgat me and
crawl ! I’m Wild Cat Tip, from
Bear Gulcb, I didn’t come to Dead
wood to be insulted, so git out here
a half dozen of yer sons of guns at.d
iorm a line of battle, ’cause I can't
hold onto this yer hammer much lon
ger so trot ’em out.” About this
time someone in the crowd fired a
pistol in the air, and simultaneously
a rotten egg struck “Tip” between
the eyes. Dropping his revolver and
throwing both hands in the air, he
yelled “I’m murdered,” and fell heav
ily to the ground. After be realized
just what had happened, he straight
ened up, and looking around, ex
claimed, while he wiped the decom
posed egg from bis face, “Now, boys,
that’s a rough joke, but I’ll stand it!”
I’ll take it all, only let me see the
calibre of the gun what shoots eggs.”
Not gaiuing the desired infonnation,
he silently stole away.— Black Hill

The people are indebted to a
democratic congress for the know
