A Singular Story—lteiijiuniii
ST-aiiLlin mu! his Sots in the
Elevokition.
Some twenty years since ltev. Dr.
Hawks, rector of Cavalry Church, New
York, was appointed historian to the
Protestant Episcopal Church in this
country by the General Convention of
the church. In his official caoacity
Dr Hawks had access to the papers of
the deceased Bishops of the Church,
and in the journal or diary of Bishop
White, of Pennsylvania, he found the
'following bit of curious private history,
which the Hartford Courant publishes,
he having imparted it to a resident of
that city:
The good Bishop, while on a visita
tion not long after the close of the Rev
olutionary War, stopped at a tavern in
a remote country parish. About mid
night he was awakened by a loud and
excited.conversation in the next room,
which was separated from his by a thin
uoaril partition. Not wishing to over
hear a private conversation, the Bishop
contrived to inform his neighbors of
his presence. The voices sunk into a
whisper, but soon broke out again under
violent excitement. The Bishop
coughed again, but was obliged to listen
to a family quarrel, the cause and sub
stance of which was in effect as follows:
The parties in dispute were father and
son. and both were large real estate
holders. It appeared that on the
breaking out of the Revolutionary War,
the two had deeded each to the other
a 1 the property standing in his name,
with the understanding that the deeds
were to be surrendered at the close of
the war. The son was to go to Eng
land as a royalist, the father to remain
and support the popular cause, in this
way pach hoping to escape loss. The
war had now been closed for some time.
The son had returned from England,
where he had received a royal grant of
land for his loyalty, and had met his
father by appointment to demand the
restitution of the property as agreed.—
The father, who was a prudent man.
concluded to keep the property, and
hence the quarrel. The next morning
Bishop White asked the landlord of the
hotel the names of the two gentlemen,
and was informed that they wore Ben
jamin Franklin and his son!
Protcctou Against liillmclj
Frosts.
A correspondent of the Agricultural
Gazette of London gives his experience
with regard to the frosty nights that
sometimes occur late in the Spring or
early in the Autumn. He says that
when he suspects that there is or has
been a frost on his vegatables he atvnee
goes out into his garden, gets his water
ing-pot and sprinkles those tender
plants which are liable to bo frost bit
ten —taking care to do this before the
sun rises. By this means be has never
failed to obviate the disastrous effects of
frost, when his immediate neighbors
have suffered severely from them.
The remedy is simple, inexpensive,
not laborious, and well worth trying.
The most forlorn victim of the pre
sent hard times, announces himself by
the declaration that he has given up
wearing suspenders, and trust to Prov.
idence to keep his trowsers on.
An enthusia.-tic correspondent writes
that ‘-The women suffragists of Massa
chusetts are stripping for the contest.”
If that is true they are likely to have
plenty of followers.
A Chinese F'nhn .
A priest, seeing a piece of old paper
on the ground, told hi* pupil to pick it
up, which he did immediately.
“What paper is it. ? ” asked the priest.
“It is,” said the pupil, “what once
enveloped some perfume, has beeu
thrown away, but Vet retains the odor.’’
Goiug farther, the priest saw a piece
of string upon the ground, and again
told the pupil to take it up.
“What string is it?” he asked.
The pupil said, —
“It has a strong smell of fish, once
tied with it.”
“In the beginning,” said the priest,
“man was pure and without blemish,
but by frequent contact with others, he
has brought himself happiness or pun*
ishment. If one keeps the company of
wise and good people, he becomes wise
and good; but if ho contracts friendship
with foolish and wicked people, misfor
tune and punishments overcome him.—
As with this paper, it continues to be
fragrant from having once enveloped
perfume; as the string has become stink
iuv, having once touched the fish. In
our intercourse with men , insensibly we
contract good and had habits from
them.”
Lime Tor (ilvap mill Grain.
A dressing of lime on land to he
sown down with wheat, oats or clover
and the grasses, is, in a majority of ca
-es, one of the most remunerative that
can he made, provided that lime can bo
procured at reasonably cheap rates. —
Ii is not merely' as a plant food that
lime is useful. It is still more impor
taDt as a preparer of plant fool. Its
reaction with the acids of the soil, its
strcujg action upon decaying vegetable
matter, and its faculty of converting
clay into mud, and rendering it me
chnnieally (it for culture, are some of
its most obvious uses, and as a general
rule, it. may he assumed that the lacd
which is the richest in vegetable sub
stances will benefit most by the free use
of lime, and gravelly sand the least.—
It is open question how littie lime may
he profitably applied per acre. The
English farmers use lime heavily, put*
ting it on their fields at the rate of from
seventy-five to one hundred bushels per
acre, atid making one application do for
a number of years. Lighter dressings,
made yearly, do better here —say from
five to twenty bushels, depending upon
the amount of vegetable matter in the
soil and its acidity. Our Charleston
marl lime, or calcined marl, is better
than the ordinary stone liuie. Oyster
Shell Lime is superior to any.
Sbatli'-Tiees.
Many farmers now see how they have
missed it by permitting the wholesale
destruction of forest trees upon their
lands From the nakedness of the
country droughts are becoming com
mon. From the scarcity of timber trees
the cost of fencing and erecting build
imrs is annually increasing. But there
is one way whereby amends may be
partly made. Let there be one united
plan to have rows ofbeautiful and use
ful trees set out on both sides of all our
public highways. Let sugar-trees, wal
nut-trees, chestnut trees, locust-trees,
silver-leafed poplar-trees, etc., stretch
their long avenues in every direction all
over the country. llow it would re
lieve the nakedness of the land! What
a grateful shade they would give to the
weary traveler! The value of farms
would become almost immediately en
hanced as soon as these rows of beauti
ful trees were planted out. And iu
the distant future, when those trees
should arrive at maturity of growth,
the value of the timber itself would be
come a most important item. Let
grangers and others take hold of this
matter.
The other day, as a Detroiter was
riding on the Pontiac road, he came
across an old lady seated in a buggy
which had been halted within a few
yards of the Grand Railroad track. She
seemed to be uneasy about something,
and as he drove up she asked :
“Say, mister, haint you the engine?”
IJe politely informed her that he was
not, indeed, when she pointed to the
sign which read:
“Look out for the engine,” and add.
ed, “I’ve waited mor’n two hours for
the old engine to go by; but I’ve got
tired, aud if it don’t como pretty soon
I’ll drive right on aud go home.”

[From the Highland [Ohio) Nws, Oct. 23.]
'1 he most extraordinary fete of travef
ing, without the aid of steam or horse
power, ever performed in this country
(at least of which we have any recordj,
was accomplished last Thursday, be
tween this place aud London, Madison
county, between James M. Mason, a
young Dish gentleman, who is at pres
ent making his home at the residence of
James B. Herron, a few miles north
west of town. Mr, Mason returned a
few weeks ago from a visit to Europe,
and brought with him an improved
bicycle or two-wheel velocipede, ofc
London manufacture, and it was upon
this machine that he performed the ex
traordinary fete above referred to.—
Leaving this place at precisly 6 o’clock,
Thursday mornir.g, he rode to London',
and returned to a point about seven
miles north of Hillsboro, a distance olf
90 miles, in exactly 11 hours and 40
minutes, being at the rate of a fraction
loss than eight aud a half miles an
hour, including a stoppage of 30 min
utes in London and of 20 minutes at
Washington on his return. Besidog
these stoppages he lost nearly half an
hour between Washington and London,
on the up trip, by getting on the wrong
road and being obliged to turn back,
and fully an hour more by having to
travel up a fieahly graveled road be
tween Washington and London, whioh
greatly impeded bis progress, and in
creased the labor of propelling the
bicycle. Deducting these losses, and
15 minutes allowed him for unavoidable
detention from other causes, amounting
in all to two hours and 35 minutes lost
time, and Mr. Mason’s actual running
time for SO miles was only nine hourjl
and five minutes, or nearly 11 miles an
..• , w
hour]
A Methodist preacher traveling in
the back settlement of a Western State,
stopped at a cabin where an old lady re

from /”
“Madam, I reside in Shelby county
Kentucky.”
“Well, stranger, hope no offence, but
what mought you be doing out here ?’,•
“Madam, I am looking for the lost
sheep of the tribe of Israel.”
“John,” shouted the old lady, “here's
a stranger all the way from Kentucky
a hunting lost stock, and I’ll just bet
my life that old curly-haired black ram
that cauio into our yard lust week is
one of hisen.”
