The Pious Deacon and the
Worldly Cow.
A J iyuesville business man that
we a’! know, got up last Turs*Dit
morning arid look a walk down by
Viontery t<> view the beauties of
nature breakfast. and get np an appetite weighs for
lie i* a man who
o!o*e onto on * b mdied and fifty
pounds, (ri.z ng into the cry ta 1
wateiaofltock River, it occmed
to him that he would take a bath,
so he disrobed himself, laid his
clothed upon the ground and piling
ed in. He had been sporting with
ih*‘ w u *'lef« (or some minutes when
lie hoard a b lowing on the shore,
and h<‘ looked up to see a cow
nawing (he ground and running
her horns into I is clothe'. *S'u
had run one horn through one lo
ol hi* punts, and thy other horn
through the broad pari, and *a
engaged in chewing his shirt, when
the man struck her on the rump
wiih a Htone, and sin) started of!
with iho*e two garments for the
blind asylum where she evidently
belonged, shaking her head to gel
the punt* oft" her horn*, anil chew¬
ing the shirt, as though it was a
bran mash.
Tho pious roan rushed out of the
watt r toward *be cow and said, ‘‘do
fioss Ho-bo**,” but hIi« took one
look at bid shape and turned away
and didn’t ao.bo*d, very much. A
war map of the thought* of this
Jayncdvill*. busmen* man, a* ha daw
ihe cow go away, would sell well,
if it was illustrated with a view of
a native Zulu picking Hitchn leaves
Tho only things the cow had left
were his hat, ve«t nnd shoes and
stocking*. He put them on and
started after tho cow. The vest
was one of tho'o grandfnker’s
clock vests, that slops short, never
to go again, a sort of emigrant’s
vest that comes high. He tried to
remember some of the tyn com •
inandment* bnt tbe only onu could
call to mind was “Full down Thy
Vest.” llis eye swept the horizon
to see if anybody was looking and,
he could sen that tho ground*
aoout the lliirnl Asylum wero alive
wriri the people of both sexes. lie
thanked heaven that by the inscrut¬
able ways of providence, oaople
were made blind, but this joy at
the calamity was mingled with sor*.
row when lie thought that the
tea* her* at tho n«ylum wero eti
■lowed with the most perfect ey«_
sight. As tl'o cow neared tbe gate
of the ground lie mado one effort
to head her off, bnt she ran by linn,
an d thou he attempted to tako fi is
pistol from the hind pocket of his
punts to kill him«e!f, when ho rea¬
lized again that fie was indeed
barefooted from ins vest to Iu*
stockings, and he sat down under
a tr<"“ to dio of slow starvation,
but before he began to starve, he
got, tip again ami resumed an up¬
right ariiludo on account of ant*.
It is a i icnio for .a nest ant.s to par
tako of n human being who haa lost
Ins or her ironsers, as the c**e mav
be, nnd he followed the cow, say¬
ing, “so-boss" in tbo most pitiful
accents that were ever used by a
Jnynodvillo man. Tim cow looked
around, and as she did so the pants
caught on a sapling a d were pull¬
ed off’ her horn* and dropped upon
ihe ground. The pioua man look
mi upon ibis as a direct mtfposi¬
tion ol Providence, nnd ho was
sorry he swore. Ho got into hi
Ironsers so qu ek iliat made hi*
head swim, and just ns tho crowd
at l lie asylum had come down to
the gate to see \> hat strange look
ing calf was following the cow
home, the man started on a run lor
town leaving hi* shirt with the
cow.— Peek’s Sun.
A '/ ctcscope Story.
The San Francisco Call tells nn
extraordinary story respecting Profes¬ a
monster telexdope made by French
sors Lefevre ami I.onglour,
scientists, amt erected at San Fran
cinco. Tho lenses are twenty feei
in diameter, and this ia what hap¬
pened w lien tho astronomer* and
tbeir friend* turned the inatrument
to tho heavens: “M. Dut’rere wa*
the first to apply hi* ey* to the eye.
piece ot tho telescope. For fully
five minutes ho looked on in speech¬
less amazement, then,without word,
turned awnv to hide hi* emotion.
One by one the gentlemen present
tested the telescope, exhibiting
their astonishment til various nays.
The planet which happened to
cast ris beams upon the great rpec
ulum was Mars, ami the revelation
is too wonderful for credit, The
eye -1 icoe of the lower magnifying
power was first placed on, when the
planet present nt a moat astounding
sigh*. The pawerttil leu* brought
tho surface of tho planet nearer
'bun that ot the moon ha* over b«en
brought by the most powerful tale
*c«pe. The green of, the sea was
brought out iu unmistakable color,
and one could siiuoat lmagm* that
he oould see th* waves upon the
surface. There before the *ve was
spro d out a splendid panorama ot
hill and dale, dark uatc.ma that
looked like autumn field*, silvery
thread* that must bo rtvera, and
sevemi utimifilakable vo!c*uo*a xn

A cotton plant to stand two

three werks, six inches soil and

To improve the cotton plant, se¬
lect seed every year after the first

ber, taking the bust stalks and the
best bolls on the stalk.

Thu blowing of cotton requires
one and a fourth days per acr«.
Dutton plants commence when
small to take on the mature bolls
and continue until they exhaust
the soluble matter or reach the full

will do that much aoorier than one
and will so avoid a late drouth.

A day or two ago, sooon after
