His journey on the ice was made in four hours, less time than if he had traveled in a vehicle. ——— - Q——— . A Gentleman in Albany, who broke a rule of the associated charities, by giving alms on the street, tells the fol lowinganeedote: A poor women, with a child, met him and said: ’Oh, sir’ you are richand happy, and I should be perfectly happy if I could only have 85 for the children at home.” The gentleman saide “Well, if $5 can make any human being perfectly happy here itlis.” The women, seizing it, replied, “Oh, I wish I hadsaid ten.” e i Lawyers make grave mistakes while arguing their cases before the jury when instead of sticking to the law and the facts, they pour upon the ‘heads of witnesses, lawyers and par ties on the opposite side, a tirade of }ubuse and criticism. The day now is ~when the men who sit in jury boxes are intelligent and can discriminate between sound arguments and hom bast effusions. Legitimate criticism is"all right, and there are occasions when it should be used, but person al abuse and harsh comment should be sparingly indulged in. It’s a poor lawyer who can find nothing to speak about except the witnesses and attor neys on the other side.— Cartersville American. Mg. Grorae S. PrperoN, has pub lished a book in which he warns the world of a dire calamity that will fol low the making of the proposed canal letting the waters from the Mediter ranean into the desert of Sahara. He contends that this will deposit upon the great desert a weight of water equal to 176 trillions of tons, taking it from the seas and oceans all over the globe; that this will disturb thcl equilibrium of the earth and produce a great convulsion, changing its axis and causing aflood like that of Noah’s time. He refers to the opinions of geologists and others that the axis of the earth has at least once in former times been changed by variations of the earth’s equilibrium. and may at a distant day be changed again by the slow natural processes ever going on, but that the proposed overflow of the Sahara desert would precipitate it by the work of man. A MEAN TRICK. Tom Bently had been paying his addresses for some time past to one of the belles of San Antonio. She had not given him the slightest en couragement, and he was about to commit suicide, when she threw him into a spasm of delight by asking him if e would do her the favor of giving her his photograph. He happened to have one with him, and he begged her to accept it, saying that it was the happiest moment of his life, etc. As soon as he was gone, the young lady called her servant, and giving her the photograph, said: “Whenever anybody comes to the door who looks like that, tell him I'm not at home.”—Siftings. MODERN BUSINESS METHODS. It must be confessed that the diff culties of doing a good, square busi ness in a good, thorough, square style are becoming greater and hard er than ever to combat. Honest and honorable competition has given way largely to a series of petty shifts to gain a mean advantage, and the busi ‘ness man who wants to do an honest ‘business has frequently to encounter ‘bold and unscrupulous lying amongi his rivals. If young in business and needy, he must solicit favors from men he despises, and have transac tions with others whom otherwise he would scorn to associate with; that it is a matter of difficulty to be his plain honest self; but it seems as if he must go on the Ex change or into the business world with a set of actions, pretenses, and even expressions that does not belong to him but is assumed for that partic ular purpose, and all too often the assumption gradually absorbs other and better qualities of mind and heart and becomes his real character. Is he disposed to sell pure and una dulterated goods, he finds his rival taking his trade by an inferior arti cle, offered at a lower price, but af firmed to be its equal in every par ticular ; does he do his work faithful ly and use the best materials, he finds himself underbid by a skillful competitor, who cunningly works inl inferior material with careless and cheap labor, and, worst of all, the buyers will give the cheap bidder, even when the quality of his goods and workmanship are suspected, a readier hearing. Then what an immense advantage the squarely dishonest man of to-day possesses; he who does not mean to pay, who buys on eredit without cap ital, and contents himself with a mere fractional profit, or no profitall, mak ing a failure, and being considered rather honorable because he pays 50 cents on the dollar to his creditors ; creditors who allow him to go on with his stock of goods in direct com petition with the honorable! men on the same street, selling the self same goods bought of them at the self-same first price, which they expect the solvent party to pay in full for. Does he originate a popu lar article, a method in business, or any invention that promises a profit, let him be prepared for imitators who boldly claim his ideas as their own, and others who will dub a worthless article with the title he has origina ted, and thereby bring the name into disrepute. We know that this keen race to be rich, in the fierce struggle for the ad vance in the fight for success, it will ‘be said that every man who enters the business field must expect the above to be the rule and not the ex ception, and the amount of praise given tosmartrascals, and the knowl edge that the world’s first question is not howa man got his money, but has he got it, would seem to indorse this conclusion. But in spite of this, men have proved that it pays to com bat all these obstacles, which are principally efforts for a short road to wealth, and stick to sterling, sturdy, old fashioned honesty in trade, which tellsin the long run, notwithstanding it may takea long runto make it tell. But there is a large class that will pay for it, and pay handsomely; hence, though confidence may be of small growth, the labor of rightly ac quiring it proves its value, so that besides the conscientious satisfaction enjoyed in the possession, it will be acknowledged, even as a husiness move, that “honesty is the best policy.”— Boston Commercial Bulletin. AN ANGRY JUDGE. The late Chief Justice Bigelow, of Massachusetts, was naturally hot tem pered, but on one occasion was brought to his bearings in a way as effective as it was amusing. Ile was riding in a car which did not stop at Quincy, where he resided, and, as it was passing by, he pulled the rope and the train was brought to a sud den stop. The conductor rushed into the car and demanded, “Who rang that bell?” “I did,” said the Chief Justice. “Why?” “Because I wanted to get off;” at which the rail road official indulged in some re marks which were not compliment ary and hardly respectful. The Judge atterward complained to the president of the road, who promised to look ‘into the matter. But he found that, ‘although the conductor might have ) used hot language, the Chief Justice was not without fault and said noth -1 ing about it. When they next met, by chande, the latter demanded of ‘the president whether he had repri im.andcd the conductor. “I spoke to him,” was the reply. *“Well, what Idi«l he say?” “le said that he was coming up some day to adjourn your court.” The irate magistrate saw the point and did not pursue the investi lgation. DIVORCED FROM THE WRONG WOMAN ’ In August, 1880, Beecher Stevens, of Oswego, N. Y., met a handsome ’ young woman on a train near Buffalo. Both were going to Lockport and both had taken the wrong train. They got into conversation, and when they had returned to Buffalo to get the right train were matually fasci nated. When they reached Lock port Mr. Stevens escorted the young woman to her home. He carried away with him a card on which was written “Lydia F. Davy.” On Oct. 13 following Mr. Stevens was sur prised to see the young woman enter his place of business. She cried and said that her mother had forbidden her to write to him any more under pain of dismissal from home. She had taken the alternative and come to him. | ~ They were married that evening. In December, 1881, a quarrel arose ‘between them and she showed her % husband a certificate of a former mar riage with George I Davy. It was dated early in 1880. A separation followed. The confessed bigamist left her husband and he has not, he says, }seon her since. He found, however, ‘that she met her former husband in this city after she left him, and that they went from her to Auburn, where they lived for some time. He also ascertained that she had still an other husband before she met Davy, Charles Burnett, of Ithaca, to whom she was married in that village, in 1878. Her maiden name, he found, was Lydia Fanny Creque. She was twenty-six years old. With this evi dence Stevens sued for a divorce, which was granted a week ago. During his hunt for evidence against her Steven traced his wife, it is said, to a house in Auburn; that the papers in the divorce case were served on her. She said she was not the person named in the papers, after she had read them, and acting on the ‘ advice of friends paid no attention to the matter. She is now out with a statement that she cannot be the woman. She is only nineteen years old, while the yoman who was Stev en’s wife is twenty-six. She was married in Ithaca, but to Charles Brown and not to Charles Burnett. A cousin of Mrs. Stevens was shown a picture of Nina Brown, while testifying at the trial of the divorce case, swore that it was a pic ture of the woman who was married to Stevens. An uncle of Stevens’ wife would not be positive that the picture was of his neice, but Stevens ‘himself swore that it was a photo graph of the woman he had married. On this testimony the divorce was granted. Now, however, it has been proved beyond any doubt that Nina Brown is not Mrs. Stevens and never was Mrs. Davy, Mrs. Burnett or Lida Fanny Creque, and Beecher Stevens has been divorced from the wrong woman. A WONDERFUL FOUNTAIN OF FIRE. (Chicago Herald.) At Thone creek near Oil City, is a wonderful fountain offire. A well throwing out 25,000 barrels of oil dai ly is burning and every gallon of this oil is consumed in the fire. So great is the force with which the oil leaves the well that the flame can not get nearer than ten feet from the ground. From the mouth of the well to the point where the flame begins the amber-colored fluids forms a solid straight column,six inches in diame ter, and shining like burnished gold. At the height of 100 feet the column is probably not over five feet in diame ter, but at 200 feet it spreaps out into a cloud of overhanging flame, from which fiery streams extend earthward like the drooping branches from a wil low. The effectis indescribably grand. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to extinguish the flames. e A ———————— A GIRL WITH TWO TONGUES. A strange freak of nature has just been discovered in Cleveland, Ohio. Frederick Grunwaid, a Swiss, resides at No. 535 St. Clair street with his wife and two children. Albertina, the youngest, 2 years old, has two ton gues. The second tongue has grown from the root and on top of the first. The mother first noticed it when the child was 3 days old. The second tongue was then quite small, !t now it is nearly as large as the real ton gue. 'The anterior part of the upper tongue looks natural, but the poste rior part is constricted and round, giving the unnatural growth a pear shape. 'The child has never experi enced any difficulty in swallowing its food or in breathing, looks natural in every other why, and has always been healthy. The family has been in America two and a half years, and in this city three weeks. .. e — Tramps are annoying farmors. . .

New York bankers, has again brought | prominently before the public Mrs, ]E. H. Green, who is reported to be 'the richest woman in America. It ' was the determination of Mrs. Green 't withdraw a portion of the very large amount that she had on depos it in the Cisco Bank that caused it to suspend. She is the largest ereditor of the bank, and while she may lose a few thousand dollars of her depos its, her securities, amounting to $206,- 000,000, which were in the bank vault, are safe. Mrs. Green is a marvelously shrewd financier. She manages her own af fairs, and thus far has managed them suceessfully, There are very few men in Wall street who are as well wequainted with the value of the dif terent kinds of securities dealt in there as she is. She is credited with having engineered more than one corner in stocks, and to have gotten the better on many occasions of the ablest of the Wall street chaps. She is the daughter of a New Bed ford whaler named Johnson, who died a few years ago, leaving her about $5,000,000. That sum would seem to be sufficient to satisfy the de sires of any woman, but it did not, it scoms, satisfy Mrs. Green. She be g atoncee to speculate, and, through either Ler luck or shrewdness, accu mulated money rapidly. Those who know the most of her financial trans actions say that she was never known to make a mistase in her business affairs. She could not have made many mistakes of a serious character. If she had she could not have accu mulated the vast fortune of which she is now mistress. She is credited with being very penurious. As an instance of this characteristic, it is stated that on one occasion she alighted in front of the Cisco banking house from a publie conveyance, with a great bundle in her arms, and entered the bank. The bundle proved to be $200,000 worth of securities. The banker, Cisco, asked why she did not take a private carriage instaed of trusting herself with so mary valuable sccurities in an omnibus. She replied that Mr. Cisco might be able to afford a carri age, but that she was not. Her thrift is apparent in every way that it is possible for it to show itself. In her home life she is very cconom ical. She doesn’t seek to have the best of everything. It issaid that she has been known to walk to a so cial gathering when the streets were hardly fit for a woman to be abroad, rather than to pay for a carriage. 1t is related that on one occasion when there was a contest between two fac tions for the control of a great rail road property in which she had a large amount of stock, instead of vo ting her shares at the election for of ficers, she sold her proxies to one of ‘the parties. Of course she had a } right to do this, but the incident 1 nevertheless, shows, if true, that she ‘never lets an opportunity pass to turn an honest penny. What does this woman intend to do with her vast wealth? It may be that she has never given this ques tion serious consideration. Her pleas-, ure is to make money, not to spend it. Those to whom she leaves it will take pleasure probably in spending it. INTENSIVE FARMING, ; Brunswick Herald, The tendency in Georgia, at least in many places, is to intensive cul ture—that is, to make as much as - possible off of each acre. It requires no arithmetic to prove that a man who produces on twenty acres thirty bales of cotton realizes nearly double as much as he who produces thirty bales from eighty acres. D, W. Per due bore off a prize for the largest yield of cotton fertilized with cotton seced. His yield was 4,545 pounds ot lint cotton to the icre and 3,000 pounds of cotton =eed. He claims that his system of fertilizing has paid him 100 per cent. on every dollar ex pended. Here are Mr. Perdue’s fig ures as to cost of the prize cotton: Cost of cultivating an acre of ground, $15.40; fertilizing, $12.50; picking, $13.90; ginuning $6.18; total cost per acre of raising the crop, $47.- 08. Sold 1,546 pounds of lint cotton at 9 cents per pound, $139.05, 8,000 pounds of cotton seed, $18.20; total, $158.25. Net profit per acre, deduc ting all expenses, $110.27. ' The intensive system of farming has long been in practice in China. There the land is owned hy the Em peror, and is rented by the people, The population is so dense that every acre has to support a large number of people, and a man is considered rich wgo ‘has as‘much as six ‘acres of" land to cultivate. Nothing is put in the ground without abundant ffertili-. zing. i
