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 zine. 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 J tier to the St T/Ouis Globe-Democrat. 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: COUNTRY. 5 | 5; 6 S §S United Sistes :CU 363 150 France 2so . 230 30 K 2*20 200 r, J Ger-muy 320 115 15 Spain 116 100 it.iv ]•’ 1.0 :n A:: :m,-Hii>k .ry 102 110 20 Util' e<l Kingdom 94 90 110 Tie k**y 4" 30 Kunm.tuia ;•> 4 20 Atffria.. 25 20 ' I Iloll.md 5 5 5 lia vu ri;t 20 2* Caiucn o 20 > r Aus rali. 20 20 ( K*>pt H 5 Poitu.ai h 6 5 <ir-.c* 5 5 Siva 4 4 D.-umark 3 2 Swi-.f. n au l Norway... 33 s . It/, rlaud 2 2 8 Aii others 9 8 2 Total 16 0 1.540 225 225 “ 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 Farmer. * 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. ” WhatTSSOO did in Wall street.” o. i l.aekport Union. FARIT, tfgSVfff AND HO FSEHOLD. 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 be ail old. Dig tiie early crop of potatoes as soon as the vines die down. Burn the vines, as they may contain the potato-rot fungus. The best purpose to which' coal ashes j can be applied in town or country is in making garden walks. If well laid down no weeds or grass will gro w, and , by use they become as solid and more i durable than bricks. Let no one pick fruit who has no j thought for the life of the tree .and the ; seasons that are to follow. We have seen orchards that looked after the pick ing as if a hail-storm had visited it, the limbs were so torn and broken. The success of a fruit grower depends upon solid refutation for honesty. Let every package .V as represented and like every other of its grade. This will in sure the confident' 6 of thif commission merchants, the este °m of the consumers, a ready sale of the fruit and an inward satisfaction. Farmers that have a supply of old fence rails will find them just the thing to place next their tomato plants to keep the fruit off the ground. Pk'-ce the short pieces crosswise and the lon g ones on top (lengthwise) each side th R plants, and you have the cheapest, if not the best, support of the kind to be fou nd. 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 will take the pain out of the worst wound, and repeated once or twice, it will allay the worst ease of inflamma tion arising from a wound we ever saw. : The prime conditions of health in a house depend upon cleanliness, pure air and unpolluted water, the prompt and J thorough removal of all refuse, and the perfect exclusion of all foul matters aris ing outside the house. A medical exchange says that life can be sustained by the following when nothing else can betaken: Make a strong | cup of coffee, add boiling milk as usual, only sweetening rather more; tike an j egg, beat yolk and white together thor oughly; boil the coffee, milk and sugar together, and pour it over the beaten ' egg in the cup you are going to serve it in. —Boston Journal of Chemistry. 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. GOLD MINE STAMP MILLS! AND MACHINERY AND CASTINGS !

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.
