A great city like New Yurts contain" many people who lice by violating out 1. W and throe people are divided into odd ([map*, earn having a distinct ire itnrpcne of its own. One of these group i infeat* the water front of New York and nowhere in our ririlizal'on can Ire found a more degraded cta-a of criminals. Tin' members me known to the police and to the watclroin on the shifts at “wharf rats.” Tin- title is certainly well chosen. The wharf rata are expert swimmers and divers and arc a* agile in avoiding the police as is any intelligent rodent in escaping from the clutches of a cat These men and growu-up boy* live as criminals from choice. They extract more happiness from the theft of a bag of coffee or a coil of rope than the average person would from a present. If shot ut while stealing from a ship’s cargo they iump into the river, sink out of sight snd come to the surface under the protecting shade of a wharf. If not wounded they take their experience as a joyful adventure. If wounded they rest on the rafters under the pier until night comes along, when confederates take them away. The most conspicuous of all the wharf rats of New York is Buck- shot Taylor. He hat carried several loads of buckshot in hi* leg* and hack and one aida of his fnco is also disfigured beoause of hirf unexpected acquaint ance with a shot-gun. Taylor never steals rope or coflee unless he is bard up. His specialty is the theft of bars of lead. He is as wide-awake as a lynx nftcr a snow-fall, and always know* where to look for his plunder. Taylor will dive under a wharf and fasten an cud of thin wire rope to one of the rafters. Then, with the other end in his hand, he will sneak on board a lead-laden schooner, and fasten the wire to his plunder. Another wharf rat keeps watcu while this is being done. If the coast is clear the loot is dropped into the water where it sinks out of sight. Then the thief, who is as much at home in the water as on the land, divos out if sight, coming up, of course, under the wharf •where the wiro is fastened to the rafters. 'One of the heavy bars of lead will net from $:! to $4 at anyone of the junk shops which abound along the river front. If ‘Buckshot Taylor steals two or three bars a week during the spring, summer am] autumn months he feels happy, for all he cares for is a little food, plenty of whisky and a constant supply of tobacco. Taylot is a hard man for the police to catch, i Buckshot Taylor is the best known of the wharf rats, but there oro hundreds who follow in his foottdeps. Asa rule they commit no greater crime than potty larceny. The majority of the wharf rati do their work at night and move about oti the water in rowboat*. Their specialty ii the stealing of rope, which is an nrttcli easy to dispose of to junkmen whodo busi ness with shipmasters. If chased by tilt harbor police they nbandou their boat and swim,under cover of the darkness,t< places of refuge under tlio wharves. Some of these fellows make a specialty ol using giant augurs and boring through the flooring of the doc!.s and into tin sugar ban els that have been unloaded from ships. They empty tho sugar into bag* and then dispose of it when the op. portunily offers. All these \\ ltnrf rats ac not carry their plunder to the stores alonj South and West streets. In somo enset tho plunder is too bulky, aud in othei eases the wharf rats nre too well known t( risk discovery by csrrying the stolct goods in the street. Friendly junkmet fill this deficiency. There is a bane of junkmen that gooi from wharl to wharf in boats and btiyl old stuff from the captains ol ships. Sometimes the o junkmen have something to sell in the way of rone, anchor chains nnd pulley-blocks. Tin wha'f rats nwait tho coming of thcs< junkmen, and in their lairs under the wharves make their sales of stolen prop erty. One shipmaster buys the rope and other stuff stolen from another ship, nnd so thcro is a constant demand by (junkmen for the plunder obtained by the wharf rats. In the summer months the wharf rati sleep in row-boats under the wharves, ot iu the daytime upon the docks. Not a few of them who steal at night sneak .upon the summer excursions of local so cial clubs, and when they are stupid from drinking beer sleep under the benches to be found on all excursion barges. When they find themselves penniless they sweep out the ginmills that line the river frout, and with the dime they got for theii labor buy coffee and cakes. Others fish Ifrom the ends of the piers, and if they catch a string of fi-h nave no trouble iu |obtaining a quarter from the liquor store proprietors, who offer “ tine fish chowder ” fr?e as an inducement for longshoremen to spend five cents fot (beer or ten cents for whiskey. A quarter of a dollar goes a long way with a river crook, for next to the satisfaction of stealing he find his greatest comfort !in chewing tho cheapest kind of tobacco. ,Thc wharf rats who have good fortune divide with their companions who have 511 luck.' Iu this way the proceeds of a day's plunder will makes large number of the thieves happy. The hundreds that sleep on the piers in summer have to find ton-cent lodging-houses in win ter. Such of these us have not courage to pick pockets or steal from the stands outside of stores get a little money in the winter by begging. It is not easy to steal from the docks in the winter, and so ninety pier cent, of the wharf rats have to exist as best they can until the severity of the weather pas-os away and permits them to use the water aud the under side of the wharves as aids to their methods of thieving. These wharf rats have a great horror of policemen, and, even when not guilty of any recent crime, keep away from the vicinity of the blue-coats. A few of the river crooks become professional burglars and in many cases sneak thieves. Many of them tire of their hard experience and ship before the mast, and a natural percentage find death in the river, a temporary place on a slab in the Morgue and then rest in Potter’s Field —Mail and Erjre*.

STIVE TO A*ABM AND OAIIDKW, BirMhlst Oats By |m4. Homo good farmer* arc read opting Dm old method of thrrehiag their oat crop* with a flail, leaving the work to be doa* la winter, and thu* furnishing employ ment to men * h*i vwkl other*i*e be idle. There are some other ad vantages in this practice not inc odcd in the em ployment it give* to labor in winter. The freshly thresh'd oat straw it readily eaten by stock, and there are usually enough light oat* left in it to make it poss.biy good f.cd. It i better to leave light cat* in the straw than to put them in the bin among the threshed grain, for unless the graio is carefully graded some of these light oats will go in the seed and help to deteriorate the crop. With hand threshed oata in cold we ither, there has been no dnnger thit vitality of seed has been impaired by heating. While the oat is in tho sheaf any dampness in the grain is absorber! by the cha'f, and as the head is bulky and porous it dries out without injury. Oats threshed by ma chine as soon as harvested, and then dumped, several hundred bushels, per haps, in one bin, are pretty sure to heat. It would be better in such'case if thoseed were entirely spoiled instead of hating its vitality im|>aired. The crop comes up weak, and if the season is not every way favorable it is a partial failure at the best, and this makes a larger proportion of poor oats for seed the subeequent season, Cultivator. Profit in Sheep. It seems as if every farmer could make sheep profitable. It is-not a difficult thing to do to make a sheep yield an in come of $6 j>er year from her lamb and fleece. In any of the older States, a good iamb, fit to turn away in -July, or before, will tiring $4 in the local markets, and eight pounds of unwashed wool, of me dium or coarse grade, will surely bring |2. The shcej) may be valued at $5. This is the amount of capital required in the sheep. To this must be added the use of land for pasture and to cut hay from for the winter. The pasture for a small flock of sheep is au item of little cost, as they can run in the early spring on the land designed for corn,and if they do eat this down close they will make it richer. After the corn gioun i is no longer avail able, the buckwheat lot nad the fallow land can be utilized for pasturing the sheep. Pome good farmers may say this is pinching the sheep tooclosely, aud the lambs will not do well. It must bo remembered that sheep like a short and sweet bite, so that a close iiasturo is not amiss. This is not all. •ivory flock of suckling ewes and every lot of lambs should have grain everyday in regular feeds. Here fs a secret our readers should know. Tho money to be made out of lambs is in a rapid and early growth, and this can be brought about the cheapest and the best with additional food, such as they need, and that spe cially adapted to make milk and growth. Kvdry man who owns any land and who wants to, get anything from it can well afford to buy bran, if he doaa not have it, and to feed it to all young animals and all suckling ones, lie will certainly get it tmok by feeding it plentifully to sheep and lambi in both growth and in the ma nure. bheep thus fed will shear double the Amount of wool that they writ con fined to hay and grass. Sheep will do well on clear clover hay before lambing, and if in fine condition they will do well fed exclusively on it afterward, but a little grain,- even when fed on this, the best of hay, will help wonderfully and pay in tho extra growth. It is folly to cxpoct any profit in sheep when not lib erally fed. It will make half-difference iu the lambs. Any man enn figure out the difference, allowing two gills a day, or a full pint for three or more months, with the results, or no grain with its re sults. It must not bo forgotten that sheep can by good feeding be made fac tors for enriching the farm, and this is a grand consideration.-.- Our Country Home. Farm anil Garden Notes. Mouldy silage is unwholesome, of course, but silage properly stored can not become mouldy. Don’t let fowls eat snow. It causes looseness in the bowels and prevents liens from laying. Give good, pure water. A writer in the American Cultivator favors sowing beans broadcast, as you would any grain, always putting them on greensward. Tho Farm, Stock and Home says: “A cow is in her prime when she is from four to six years old, and the best paying time to buy is just after the birth of her second or third calf." Carrots, beets, maugolds, or English turnips, when gathered, should be topped with care, should be put in tight barrels, or piled directly upon the bottom of a cool ami damp cellar. Sheep like variety, and if this is fur nished, a very small amount of grain can be made to answer. If corn is fed it always is preferable to at least have it shelled, if not chopped. The Sheep Breeder says sheep require to be .fed oftener than any other stock, and it is really more essential to feed a small quantity often than ( a large quanti ty ail at once, and wait until they have eaten this up clean before feeding again. Like hogs, it is necessary to feed them regularly. When manuring fruit trees, remember that the feeding roots are not at or near tho trunk of the tree, but at the extremi ty of the larger roots, therefore nearly under the extremity of the branches and often beyond them. In an old orchard the entire surface of the ground should be covered with manure. Dry sleeping places are indispensable to sheep. If compelled to remain on damp locations the wool will dry very tlowlv, and the animals will often con tract lung troubles. Sheep are liable to more diseases than any other class of farm stock, and for that reason should be more caiefully protected. Whether it be best to spread the ma nure on land intended for corn in winter or spring depends on the land. If too rolling, much of the soluble matter of the manure will be washed out and car ried off by the rains, unless the land has been plowed and left in the rough condition (unharrowedl, so that the rains may more easily carry the matter downward. It is best to haul the ma nure now, H- it can be done, so as to avoid such labor in the spring, which is usually the busy season. The cost of milk depends upon the cost of the food, hence the more milk received from a cow in proportion to food given the cheaper the coat. But unless warm quarters tie given a large quantity of food must be diverted to creating warmth for the body, and it would therefore be economic*! to keep the cows c-mfortable in order to cheapen the cost by lessening the amount of food required for bodily warmth. In other words, shelter is food, u it protects the annual* sgatnst cold. .. THI mn MSB COM ten.

Tripler Hall, op poaita Bond street, upon Broadway, waa crowded a* nsnan and when Jenny Lind had withdrawn after ringing one of her “number*," a alight, dark-haired youth came upon the stage and seated himself at the piano.

At a happy jahut of the per formance she clapped heartily, and the whole house, fo’Jdwtng it*lovely leader, burst into a storm of applause, The young man bowed to the audience and to “Miss Lind,” and, as lie ended, with more hand clapping and a bright and kindly amilo Jenny Lind, vanished, having secured tho success of Mr. Otto Goldschmidt It was a pret ty scene. Perhaps the prima donna aasolnta recalled tlfH famous brava-a a-a of Lablanclio onJier first evening at her Majesty’b Open? House in London, which satisfied England that she was a great singer, and ortifirmed her career. To the audience he* friendly interest seemed the of a kindly heart for a young neophyte In this profession. Perhaps to Mr. Otto Goldschmidt it was something more. The series of Ameri can concerts which began on the 11th of September, 1950, at Castle Garden, ended on the same place on the 24th of May, 1952. The vast space was not well suited for singing, but the magnifi cent voice filled it completely, and in the fascinated silence of the immense throng every tho sutger could bo heard. She sang with evident feeling, ami with responsive tenderness her audience listened. Every time she appeared ahe carried a fresh bouquet, the sight of which gladdened some ardent young heart. But when at last ahe appeared to sing the farewell to America, for which Goldschmidt had composed the music, she bore in her hand a bouquet of white rosebuds, with a maltese cross of deep carnations in tho oentre. This she held for the last time when she sang in public in America, and the young traveler who, five years be fore, had turned aside at Dresden to henr Jenny Lind in Berlin, alone in all that great audienoo at Castle Garden knew who had sent those flowers.— Geo.

The Life of a Buffalo Girl in India Miss Mary Gravbiel, one of the mis sionnries sustained in India by tho soot known ns Disciples, writes very interest ing letters to her family in this city. It is now over four years since she went to Hindustan, in company with the Rev. Mr. Wharton, formerly pastor of, the Church of Christ, and Lis wife. The place at which Miss Graybiol is now lo cated is in the heart of India, on the line of the railroad which i3 to bo built from Bombay across to Calcutta. The children of tlio -Sunday schools of the denomination in the United States con tributed a fund of some four thousand dollars with which to erect a house for this mission, and in her last letter she modestly tells how the work was done. It appeared that she had to serve as architect, -master builder and general boss moehanic. First, sbe bought four yoke of buffaloes to do the teaming; then a few big trees; they are very scarce in that part- of the country. She employed a hundred natives, or nearly that num ber, whom she taught to quarry the stone, which had to lie hauled several miles, and to make brick, first tramping tiie clay, fashioning it iuto bricks, and burning them, using the sparo por tions of tho trees for fuel. Tho trunk of the trees were laboriously by hand sawed iuto boards for the floors, roof, etc. A stone foundation three feet thick was laid three feet bolow ground and as much above, this solid base wall being deemed necessary to keep out the white ants, whioh are a great pest to the coun try. Evidently a good job was made of tho wall, for Miss Graybiol ingenuously relates that an Englishman visitor in quired who luul been the engineer, and expressed muoh surprise when told that sho had directed the work herself. It takes a Buffalo girl to hold her own among tho heathen, or anywhere else. Incidentally Miss Gmybioi states that the son of a German missionary living some forty miles distant was killed by a tiger. She attended the funeral, making the journey through tho solid jungle in a cart drawn by a pair of buffaloes, with the chance of being sprung upon by that or some other tiger ot any moment. Such is life in tho wilds of Hindostan.— Buffalo Courier, The Power of Language. “And so Tom bas got liome from college, Mr. Bigbeef I- understand he is quite a lingmsti’’ “He's the boss linguist,” remarked old Bigbec, lint, not proudly; “he lingers dowatowu till two o’clock in the morn ing, and he lingers in bed till noon, and he lingers at the table j long after evoryoue else has gone away foundered, aud there’s going to boa reform in this linguist business or jyon’ll hear of a case of fefo-de-se in this family by wear ing of a young man out with a hickory gad,” and the old man looked resolute, Wien melted into thoughtfulness, and said that was the first Greek he had used in thirty years, since he clerked in a drug store aud studied the old masters on the bottles and inrs. —Burdette.
