The Georgia Gold Belt.
Tii< "Gold W it " of which the most
productive portion lies :it this point,
consists of :t stripof and running some
what irregularly nearly due northeast
and southwest across the northern end
of the State. It averages about ten
;.ii > in width, aad has been traced 200
- in length, parallel with the Blue
lii Ige. White, Lumpkin and Haber
sham counties embrace the richest de
posits, so far as now known, but the
unit -of mining are gradually widening.
Tie presence of gold here has been
known from the earliest times. Chero
kee Indians were tiie occupants of the
territory when white settlement first
began, and they were accustomed to
seek the gold for ornamental purposes,
ad to dispose of it in barter to less for
. unate tribes Evidences of their mining
still remain, but are insignificant. The
methods adopted by th'-first white set
tlers, and in vogue until recent years,
were very rude, consisting merely of
washing out the gravel of the beds of
the streams by running it through siuice
hox"s and sulint baskets into a “ gum
rocker,"' which wtis nothing but a split
and hollowed out log a dozen or so feet
in h-ngth- While the water from the
sluice-box passed through this trough
from en<l to end, the rocker was kept in
constant motion, and the heavy gold,
permitted to sink to the bottom through
the constantly agitated silt, was caught
by transverse cleats, with or without the
aid of mercury. It is said that the first
piece- of gold ever taken in the United
States belonged to this deposit, and was
picl.cti up in 1799 by Conrad Reed, a hoy
wiio iived in Cabanas county, North
Carolina. It was as large as a smooth*
ing-iron. hut was sold to a silversmith
for $3.50. Afterward much larger lumps
wet'*- found : one weighed twenty-eight
pounds, according to tradition- This
, xeiled so much attention that explora
tion was begun, ami the gold traced
•outhward, until the borders of the
Cherokee territory in Northern Georgia
wn-re reached, anti prospe*ors began to
eneroaeli ik.on the reservation- Pro
tects from the Indians naturally followed,
and Georgia -ent a large police force to
keep back the invaders, but it was of
little avail. The rush to the mines was
much like the stampede to the Pacific
coast in 184 ft. and reckless, dissipated
men from all nuarters of the country
liocked in, prowled about the woods, set
up log huts and shanty groceries on all
the streams, and paid no respect to the
rights of the Indian, or any one else un
uldc to defend them- Even United States
troops were powerles- to keep the law
less hordes west of the Chestatee, and
le re as elsewhere the discovery of gold
was the end of Indian ;>o-session and ab
original simplicity anti c harm-
These days are known as the period of
•‘the intrusion”—one or two dates from
which the mountain men reckon all
events; the other being “the late war.”
Finding that no protection of the Indi
ans by, police measures was feasible, the
State in 1830 adopted the Indians, terri
tory and all, and constituted the region a
county called Cherokee, out of which
mall counties have since been
made. Then tlm mineral lands were di
vided up into forty-acre lots, and put up
at lottery by the State. One of these
lots, on tlm Yalioola liver—No. 1,052
now a part of the Hand Company’s
pre party, had already become celebrated.
It was within the reservation, hut men
used to creep across to it at night, and
carry home a meal-bag full of dirt, out
of which they would pan from twenty to
forty dollars the next day. The instant
it was ascertained that an old farmer
down in the central part of the State
had drawn this prize, shrewd specula
tors set oft’ post haste to buy it from
him.
It, soon came to be found here, as else
wherc, that gold was not to be picked up
in twenty-eight-pound lumps every day,
nor did every bushel of soil pan out a
double eagle. The worthless, lazy and
dissolute majority of the early horde of
nvaders gradually drifted away, while
only the small mini l ity of r.ew comers,
whose accession was of real value to the
community, stayed. The population, like
the dirt, was slowly panned out, and the
cum nt of events carried the dross away.
At present the mines are largely owned
by corporations,or by private capitalists
who are not residents of the district.
Only two of the companies, however,
are represented in the New York Mining
Board, if I am rightly informed. It was
found that as the gold occurred neither
in extensive placers, like those off alifor
nia, nor in indestructible quartz lodes,
the methods ofniining in vogue elsewhere
would not answer here if the best results
were to be obtained. The inventive
genius and practical knowledge of those
interested were therefore set to work to
dt vise the best means of meeting the
< a- , and it was speedily found that the
talisman which alone would open the
riches of the hills to human use was
water. So far as this mere fact is con
cerned, it could hardly he called a “dis
covery;” hut the utilization of the idea,
and the practical methods by which the
enormous power of this natural agent
has been put under the miner's control,
are the work of Colonel Hand, to whom,
more than to any one else, no doubt, be
longs the credit of the splendid develop
ment of this industry during late years,
and the glowing prospects it now holds
out. — I 'rnt.'l Ingrrsoll , in Harper's Maga

A Reminiscence of Niagara.
I remember when I was but a boy
that a man go*t into tin* rapids here,
having been carried down in a boat,
which was broken to pieces. lie had the
good fortune to he daslied on a rock, to
which lie eluntr. It was at the height of
the season—August, if 1 recollect—and
he clung there for fully thirty-six hours.
F, very body streamed out of the hotels
and the village: the banks of the river,
particularly on this side, were thronged
with people anxious to do something to
save him. Dozens of plans were sug
gested; some attempted, but they :ill
failed. Thousands of dollars were of
fered to anybody who would reseue him
The desperate situation of the man had
been telegraphed over the country, and
every train brought crowds of passen
g"rsliither to witness it with their own
eves. lie was encouraged by shouts
from tin' banks, but whether lie could
understand anythingsaid is doubtful.
The world is said to be sympathetic.
It is, or appears to be, unsympathetic,
because the oojecl for which sympathy
is asked is abstract. When it is tangi
ble, visible, all is changed. There was
an exemplification. This poor wretch
could be seen. He was an ordinary, un
i lucated man : but lie was a man. and
tie- brotherhood and sisterhood o! the
race went out to him in pity and intense
eagerness to rescue him. Women of
ft-hion, '-his club men, selfish world
ling. grew pale as they watched the un
happy wretch, so viva; was their sym
)> ithy.
Many persons sat up all night looking
acr< ><s the seething, roaring waters at the
-•anil dark figure slid clinging to the
reck. The morning came; renewed
edorts were made, but they all miss
carried. The crowd had increased: it
wa-immense Evert body was excited.
Tears were in the woman’s eyes; the
pallor gleamed through the rouge of
.some of their checks, can't something
be done? Must the i or teilow perish
before our faces? Is there no way to
rescue him? Such gu--lions were in-
cessantly asked; but, alas! no reply
could be given.
The man had good courage and great
-frength. He clung to the rock with the
desperation of a dying soul. To lose
•is hold was to he dashed over the eatit
rae*. Apparatus ar.d contrivances
arrived from Buffalo. New experiments
and new failures. Hoarse shouts stiil
rang across the rapids to hold on, to be
of good heart. The stoutest heart that
ever throbbed could not gripe that
rock forever. It was wonderful liow he
had endured. A fresh idea had come to •
the minds of half a dozen mechanics.
They were laboring :o throw out a
hawser; every muscle was strained;
every eye was bent upon their work.
Suddenly the man slipped away. He
was exhausted; he threw up his arms;
he dashed to waul the cutnrart. A iow
groan as from one breath quaked
through the throng: the thousands
-hiverod with terror. A black object
•or a moment longer in the waters, and
then disappeared iorever. There
was an agony of relief. No one moved;
vo , ne spoke for a while. All looked in
the direction where the figure had been
swallowed un. It was th enchantment
, t : rror; it was the chill of tragedy dis
*in !y wrought which froze every one
for the moment to the spot.
The old resident —iv has lived here
f.„;e years—says that on an average
alsu’.t six persons are ar ied over the
fail- every year, anil that four out of the
-i\ are wholly or part ■ intoxicated and
10-e their! lives by carelessness or reckless
ness in rowing above the rapids, going
beyond the line of danger. But for
liquor, not more than two lives, he says,
would be lost annually. —Xiagara Falls

The Needs of the World.
The harvest of the small grains of the
country is completed and safely
in stack. Better weather as a whole
could not be desired. It has been
dry and cool. Our prediction, of last
spring that, with seasonable -weather
the wheat crop of the country would be
unprecedented, has been more than ver
itie i. Our best wheat yield in the past
years has been about 300,000.000 bushels.
This season it will undoubtedly reach
400,000,000 bushels, and may go to 425,-
000,000. Two-fiftlis of this product we
can send out of the country and still
have an ample reserve for our home
uses. Let us now see what the require
ments abroad will probably be. We
have heretofore stated that England
will probably require 120,000,000 bushels
and France 100,000,000 bushels. It is
row estimated that the Mediterranean
countries other than France will need
25,000,000 and Denmark. Norway and
Sweden 10.000,000, a total ot 230,000,000
bushels. Late French statements esti
mate European requirements at 98.000.-
000 hectoliters, or 373,000,000 bushels.
Russia produces 200.000.000 bushels, and
consumes at home 150,000,000 of this
amount, leaving a surplus for export of
50,000,000 bushels; India 12.000.000, Aus
tria 20,000.000, and Hungary 8,000,000.
Thus we have 110,000,000 bushels to
supply the deficiency of 280.000.000
bushels, leaving for the United States
170,000,000. It is therefore pretty certain
that our surplus of 160,000,000 bushels
will find a ready market and at fair
prices. Alexander Delmar, a very con
servative authority, estimates the
world's crop as follows, the figures rep
resenting millions:

“ While I have every reason to regard
this as a correct ex position of the world’s
crop nnd future wheat movement at the
present moment, it is to be remembered
that the harvest is not over yet, that
from some countries the telegraphic ad
vices have been rather meager, and that
In>ili the requirements and surplus or
deficit ot a country depend much upon
the rye and other grain crops, which,
though they are herein considered, are
not shown in the table. For these
reasons the details may have to ne some
what modified. But the general result
can, I think, be depended upon for sub
stantial correctness. That is, the wheat
deficit will, during the harvest year
1879 30, amount to over 200,000,000
bushels—say 225,000,000 bushels—and
that the United States will he called
upon to supply two-t.iirds of it; or say
125.0(H),000 to 150,000,000 bushels; Rus
sin. 50,000,000 bushels; Roumania, 20-
1000,000 bushels; anil Canada, Austria
anil India, 5,000,000.”
Thus it will he seen even from the
most conservative view, and taken at a
time when the wheat crop of the United
States had not yet developed itself, that
an extraordinary deficit must ensue.
Since that time the United States lias,
with favoring weather, very much in
creased her supposed yield, while Eng
land and France and some other Euro
pean countries under a stress of weather
very severely reduced the contemplated
yield. England must also buy more
largely this season than heretofore of
Indian corn to eke out her bad hay and
root crop. The. carrying out of this
vast quantity of grain must bring back
; gold or its equivalent. It will have the
i effect to cause business of every kind
to spring up, and thus again, a is al
ways the case, we have the fact verified
| that upon agriculture as tiie foundation
rests the prosperity of a nation, —Prairie

What Reporters I)o.
One (f.y, writes a New York corres
pondent there was a great loss to one of
the banks by means of a raised check re
ported in New York, and the reporters
of tit" Sun were busy writing out their
facts about it. One of them stopped it
moment to say in a chatty way that if
the bankers would cut into the checks 1
the amount for which each check was
drawn a raised check would be an im
possible tiling. The managing editor
overheard the remark. “ Mr. Blank,”
he said, “ when you get through write a
letter to the editor of the Sun giving that
idea.” It was done, and tiie letter was
prin ted next morning containing the sug
gestion that the amount of each check
should be cut into it to prevent any al
teration. A few nights afterward a
spruce young man came in, and scatter
ing around some blank checks with num
bers cut through them, as is now com
mon, said: “1 am much obliged for that
idea: it’s going to be worth S 10,000 to
me." The reporter who originated it-is
s.ill laboring by the week. You now
anil then hear of a ease around l’rinting
house square of the valuable things that
reporters have done. There is, however,
too much work and life crowded into
their twenty-four hours to give them
much time to tell about what they have
done. The past to them is as the waters
that have run by. They are interested
only in what they have got to do to-day,
or what they have got to do to-morrow.
M hen leisure days come they do not find
themselves in a mood to revive the past.
s >> it is hard to get at what these agile
gentlemen have done that should bo fixed
into history. Nearly every man of prom
inence has a story of some extraordinary
obligation he rests under to some news
paper man; hut he would lie indeed a
man worthy of prominence who couh
say that he had fulfilled such an obliga
tion. '
An Extraordinary Ease.
Some twenty-three miles distant from
Kingstown, Ind., in a Herman sett.e
ment, there is a young woman, some
twenty-one years of age, daughter of
Casper Schmidt* who is to ail appear
ances quite dead, having been in that
state fur nearly twelvemonths past. She
a vukens. however, once every twenty
four hours, precisely at ten o’clock at
ni. lit. unit will converse with the family
and others for about twenty minutes,
when she will again relapse into the
comatose state, and remain so until ten
o’clock the following night, at which
hour she revives to the minute, throw
ing out her arms and folding her hands
together, and raising ttpjier shoulders
until the spectators imagine that her
bones are cracking. She remains in
that laborious state for the space of ten
minutes, when she comes to a perfect
possession of her faculties.
A singular feature of the case is, the
young lady recollects well if any prom
ises have been made her the previous
night, and will be very fretful for a time
if they are not fulfilled: but if the things
o e brought her she makes use of none of
them, as she eats and drinks little, or
nothing at all. She could never lx- per
snulert to attempt to eat any food but
three times during thirty-two days, and
then put the three together she did not
eat any more than a child a year old
would take. After conversing a few
m;mites this remarkable young lady will
suddenly clasp her hands together,
throw her arms into the same manner
as when awakening, and will return into
the same somnolent state as before until
ten o’clock the following night.
A gentleman sends to the Pittsburgh
C. ,nt> rcial Gazette from I niontown a
snake story, which is believed to be re
liable. _ The following is the substance
; of it: The gentieman and a friend were
passing along the road and saw a small
yellow bird on a fence, which a black
snake was charming and had within a
few feet of his mouth. They drove the
snake off and passed on. Returning
again, the snake was discovered at his
obi trick, but this time was killed.
St range to say. the bird would not leare.
. :: t withstanding many attempts were
mad eto induce it to do so. It hovered
over the dead reptile and finally lit upon
hi- head; and not until the snake was
hidden from sight did the little songster
ilv away.

Orchard and Garden 2Vote.
It is better to top-dress an old pasture
well set with grass than plo w it up and
reseed it.
Plant a few fruit trees of every variety
every year and your orchard will never

Dig tiie early crop of potatoes as soon
as the vines die down. Burn the vines,
as they may contain the potato-rot

The best purpose to which' coal ashes j
can be applied in town or country is in

Let no one pick fruit who has no j

The Chinese are said to pre, serve
grapes for a very considerable period
by cutting a circular piece out of a ri’ne
pumpkin or gourd, making an aperture
large enough to admit the hand. The j
interior is then thoroughly cleaned out.
the ripe grapes are placed inside and the 1
cover replaced and pressed in firmly.
The whole is then kept in a cool place.
New varieties of plants and trees may .
be propagated by budding, which is, in ]
fact, a kind of grafting. Some trees do ;
not take grafts kindly, the stone fruits
particularly so, and these are usually
budded. To bud a tree a slit is made in [
he bark in the desired place of the shape j
of a T. A dormant or new bud is cut
from a tree, the bark and a thin slice of
the underwood being taken at the axil ■
of a leaf, where anew bud is found. The |
piece of bark cut off with the bud is j
trimmed to fit the upper cut of the T i
exactly and to lie 'smoothly under the
other part of the bark, which is loosened
by being raised with a blunt, smooth in
strument. The bud with the shield of
bark is slipped under the loosened bark
of the stock, which is bound by a figure
8 bandage of basswood hark or linen.
That is all. The barks unite and the in
serted bud grows and becomes attached
to the wood of the stock, just as with a ;
graft.— Exchange.
Health Hints.
For people with skin diseases a car- |
bolie bath should be used.
Always take a bath in a warm room j
and in tepid water, unless particularly
robust.
Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool

The prime conditions of health in a

and unpolluted water, the prompt and J
thorough removal of all refuse, and the
perfect exclusion of all foul matters aris

together, and pour it over the beaten
' egg in the cup you are going to serve it

When a finger pricks as though there
was a thorn in it, and throbs intolerably
when held downward, and yet there is
no external sign of mischief, the proba-
bilities are that a felon is in prospect,
says an exchange. Go at once to the
butcher’s and procure some of the spinal
marrow of a beef creature. Take a
piece, say about two inches in length,
and, having cut it open lengthwise, wrap
it around the affected finger, covering, of
course, with cloth. In a few hours
change the piece of marrow for a fresh
one, and continue to keep the finger so
encased until all pain has ceased and
there is no discomfort when the marrow
is removed. The finger will look
strangely white and porous, but the cure
is complete. This remedy ought to be
j come professional. It is vastly better
than the surgeon’s knife, and more effect
tual. .
Temperature in Cultivation.
At the late meeting of the Michigan
Pomological Society at Muskegon, Sir.
; S. B. Peck, in his address of welcome, in
his'remarks on temperature and reasons
of failure in the cultivation of fruits and
tender vegetables planted in the home
stead garden, in alluding to the capacity
of different kinds of matter to receive
and retain the heat of tliesun after night
fall said: Asa rule those substances
that are the slowest to receive heat are
j the slowest to part with it. Earth and
; water, the two kinds of matter we have
most to do with, are good illustrations;
the former receives readily the heat of
the sun as soon as lie appears, but parts
with this heat rapidly as soon as he dis
appears. W ater is the reverse, slow to
receive and to part with heat, requiring
1 thirty times as much heat to raise it up
to the same temperature. Our buildings,
whether of wood or brick, hold the heat
received during the day much longer
than the bare earth, and thus influence
|to prevent frost in their bulks. An il
lustration of this fact came tinder my ob
servation at the time of a damaging frost
early in May of 1878, that destroyed
! most of the apples, grapes and berries,
and all of the peaches, plums and cher
ries in all fiat, open exposures near here,
I while all of these fruits were a complete
success in an inciosu’V of eight to twelve
rods on which were two two-story and
two smaller buildings, with a well-filled
woodshed. The influence of these wooden
l structures to retain heat extended to a
distance of seventy-five feet, as Ii ad
ample evidence. The same things hap
pened in a much less degree on the morn
ing of May 7th, inst. The success of
grapes seems to depend on the amount of
summer heat they receive. Isabellas
that seldom and Catawbas that never
ripen here in open field have come to
perfection two years in succession,
trained two feet distant front the build
ings above mentioned.
A* Tame Hamming Bird.
Some time ago a lady living at Cin
cinnati heard a bird called as if in pain,
in the yard outside the door, and upon
investigation found a young humming
bird in the talons of the family cat. Sim
promptly rescued the tiny fellow and
found it to be a little hurt, though
enough to warrant her taking an interest
its convalescence. She took it into the
house and kept it till the next day, when,
on taking it to thej door to let it go, the
j bird flew up into a tree and refused to
i go farther away, finally returning to her
1 hand. Charmed with the confidence
displayed by the pretty creature, the
i lady took it fully in charge, and since
then Inis fed and'eared for it as for any
other feathered pet. The bird is of a
beautiful russet gold in color, seems to
know its benefactress, and has charm
ingly coquettish ways. It permits its
mistress to handle it without exhibiting
fear, and seems to enjoy being stroked
and petted. When it gets hungry it
makes a plaintive call, and is then fed
from a fresh petunia, into whose depths
have been sprinkled sugar, moistened
with water in imitation of the honey
that is the natural food of the bird of
freedom. The bird enjoys its meals with
gusto, and calls for about twenty of
them daily. It is very seldom that one
of these dainty birds is caught, ar.d still
more rarely is one kept alive, to say
nothing of becoming a pet, as is the case
with the one spoken of.
A Million Dollars Under Water.
Some parties in San Francisco, who
have been working up the matter for
some time past, have discovered the
wreck of the steamer Brother Jonathan,
which foundered off Point St. George,
near Crescent City, in July. 1865. She
its in an upright position in about
twenty-two fathoms of water, about
fifty fathoms from the submerged rock
on which she is supposed to have struck.
There was about 91,000,000 in Treasury
; notes and bullion in her safe, and the
tinders are fitting out an expedition for
! the recovery. The treasure belonged to
the government, whose claim is held to
; Itave lapsed on the expiration of ten
1 years after the loss.

A Shoemaker’s Rich Strike.
A wedding occurred recently in Chi
cago which recalls strikingly some of the
incidents in the- “Arabian Nights.”!
The Chicago Times, speaking of this
ceremony, says: It was between two
favorites of fortune whose sudden re
moval from poverty to opulence has few
parallels in fiction and far fewer in real
life. The bridegroom is Mr. August
Rische, who was a year and a half ago
a poor man, obtaining a meagre living
by working at his trade as a shoemaker,
lie was one of the pieneers of Leadvilie
and had the good fortune to “ strike it
rich.” He was the discoverer of the Lit
tle Pittsburg mine. He is now the part
ner of Governor Tabor and the owner
of fourteen or fifteen mines, of
which are among the best silver mines
in the country. Among them are the
Saxon, Nevada, Hard Cash, Penfold,
Red Rogers and Alaska. He is forty-five
yeai’s. The bride was Miss Minnie
lunghuhn, twenty-four years old. Till
a few weeks ago she supported herself
by sewing in the establishment of Glauz
& Periolat, furriers. The engagement
occurred a few weeks ago. Mr. Rische
-met Miss lunghuhn at Glauz & Perio
lat‘s and proposed at once. The time of
the wedding was not decided on. how
over, till Monday, when it was deter
mined to have it the following evening.
The”wedding occurred at the residence of
Mr. and .Mgs. C. F. Periolat, No. 14 Park
avenue. The ceremony was solemnized
at 7.30 o’clock b v the Rev. T. N. Morri
son, Jr., of the Church of the Epiphany.
Air. and Mrs. lunghuhn, the parents of
the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. Periolat
stood up with the, bridal couple. The
bride was attired in a pearl-colored silk
and brocaded satin, cut ala princesse,
with a long square train, trimmed with
orange blossoms. She wore diamond
soltaire ear-rings and diamond pin and
bracelets. After the ceremony a supper
of the most sumptuous character was
served. The bridal pair go to New York.
Washington and Baltimore, and then re
turn by way of this city to Denver,
where they will reside. Mr. Rische has
just paid §42,000 lor a furnished house in
Denver, to which he will take his bride.
Mr. Rische’s present to the bride con
sisted of a watch and chain and Dia
mond jewelry to the value of §7,800, and
100,000 in government bonds. Some of
the finest presents were sent by Mr.
Rische’s Denver friends, and did not ar
rive in time for the wedding.
The Dog that Stole the Kittens.
A citizen on Adams avenue, East, who
owns a handsome Scotch terrier dog—
the mother of three handsome puppies—
took the young canines away and sold
them, to the great grief of trie mother.
At that time a cat owned by a neighbor
•was carefully raising a litter of four kit
tens under the floor of a bam owned by
the master of the terrier. It was noticed
that the terrier was very deeply inter
ested in the kittens, and earnestly
watched the movements of the feline
mother. The next morning the cat left
her family, and during her absence the
terrier carried her kittens, one by one,
with the greatest care, to the basket
nest once occupied by her puppies. With
the utmost tenderness she cuddled her
self into the basket with the kittens
about her and awaited the return of the
mother cat. When she did come back
she was wild to find her nest robbed,
and was not long in tracing them to the
terrier’s basket. Then there was a fight,
which was ended by the interference of
the owner of the dog, who restored the
kittens to their mother and soundly pun
ished the dog for the theft. All the
next day the cat remained by her kit
tens, while the terrier busied herself
hunting around for food, which she car
ried to the cat’s nr-st, and which, of
course the kittens could not masticate.
The difficulty was overcome by interested
observers, who placed milk at their ser
vice, and while the kittens supped the
terrier stood guard, successfully repul
sing all efforts to interfere with their re
past. —Detroit Free Press.
From Romance to Reality.
A Dakota letter to the Madison, (XTis.)
Journal has the following: “In com
ing up the road I witnessed a scene
which to a “ States man ” could not but
have a melancholy, though romantic
aspect. There was a bridal couple aboard
the train. He was a pleasant, intelli
gent-appearing young man, with evi
dence of a farm training and a fair edu
cation. She was as fair as “ Maud Mul
ler,” the day tilt “Judge ” met her in the
fabled field; of evidently fir superior
training to her sturdy consort, she was
one of the loveliest and brightest and
gayest brunettes one may meet in years
of long extended jaunts. She had a
bandbox evidently containing her sum
mer hat; a guitar carefully wrapped in an
embroidered bag, of a workmanship so
exquisite as to surely have been her own:
a music roll, a shawl-strap incasing two
or three of the latest novels, and all the
miscellaneous satchels and bundles with
which the average young lady possesses
herself on a pilgrimage to the sea shore
or on a tour to Aunt Betsey’s among the
rural hills.
“The brakeman hoarsely called
‘ Fourteenth Siding.’ There was not a
building in sight save the one-roomed
six by ten shanty barraeoon of the
switchman, and the eye lost itself trying
to fathom the dreary beyond. This was
the stopping place for the bride and her
groom. He was taking her to his new
home, fifty miles back on the plains:
but there was no one to meet them as
expected, and the thrend-like trail dis
appeared over the horizon, five miles
away, with no sign of greeting team.
It seemed like a dark revelation to the
pcor girl; it was the first test ot devo
tion to her husband, and a severe one.
On being lifted down from the car steps,
she gazed around in the utmost dismay;
then, with a quick, beseeching glance
into the young man's face, down which
sympathetic tears were streaming, de
spite his evidently brave resolutions, the
bride of the plans sank into his arms
and sobbed aloud. The scene told its
own melancholy story, and visibly af
fected the hundred or more spectators
who had crowded to the platform, as
usual upon all occasions of leaving::
passenger on a siding. Let us hope that
the passengers from that far-away home
tinanally readied ‘ Fourteenth Siding,’
and that a husband's love may soon be
an all-sufficient solace for that city-bred
bride so suddenly transported to the
treeless wilds of Dakota.
On the great Dalrymple farms in Min
nesota, , comprising a total of 20,000 acres
ot grain, 115 self-binding reapers cut
1,500 acres a day. Iu threshing twenty
steam thrtshers are employed. The
yield this year is somewhere between
twenty and twenty-five bushels per acre.
Fifteen cars of grain are shipped pei
day when the season commences.
When the ISowel* are Disordered
No time should be lost in resorting to a suit
able remedy. Hostetter’s Stomnch Bitters is
the most icliuble and widely-esteemed medi- !
cine of its class. It removes tlie causes of ;
constipation, or ol undue relaxation of the in
testines, which are usually indigestion or a
misdirection of the bile. When it acts as a
cathartic, it docs not gripe And violently evacu
ate, I Hit produces gradual and natural effects,
very unlike those ot a drastic purgative; anil
its power ol assisting digestion nulifics those
irritating conditions ol the mucous membrane
of the stomach and intestinal canal which pro
duce first diarrhea, and eventually dysentery.
The medicine is, moreover, an agreeable one,
and eminently pure and wholesome. Appetite
anil tranquil nightly slumber are both pro- \
moted by it.
A Wise legislator.
He is successful because he has the manly 1
courage to rise above all personal motives or
interests and cast his vote and influence on the
side ol measures which will contribute to the
well-being of his fellow-men. The good ol' the ;
many, even though it proves injurious to the I
interests ol the few, is the maxim of the wise j
legislator. But certain men will never admit
the wisdom of this doctrine, any more than j
some selfish private practitioners will admit !
the superlative value ot Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, because these remedies have injured
their practice. Ot course, no man in his right
senses will pay a physician §5.00 tor a consul
tation, a bottle ot bitters, a few powders, and
u prescription, when one bottle of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery and a bottle ot his
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, both costing but
§1.25, will accomplisn the same result, viz.:
cleanse the liver and blood, regulate and tone
the stomach, and impart a healthful action to
the bowels and kidneys.
Malignant and subtle indeed is the poison ot
scrofula, and terrible are its ravages in the
system. They may, however, be permanently
stayed and the destructive virus expelled from
the circulation with Scovill’s Blood and Liver
Syrup, a potent vegetable detergent which
eradicates all skin diseases, leaving no vestige
ol them behind. White swelling, salt rheum,
tetter, abscesses, liver complaint, and erup
tions ol every description are invariably con
quered by it. Druggists sell it.
