JJJ3 WOLF ASD TIIE TOW CATS. Tlark Twain’* Manterpiocc-A Funny Account of a Tragical Affair. I knew by the sympathetic glow up on his li ild head —I know by the thoughtful look upon his face—l knew by the emotional flush upon the straw berry on the end of the old free-liver's nose, that Simon Wheeler’s memory was busy with the olden times. And so I prepared to leave, because all these were symptoms of a reminiscence— signs that he was goitig to be deliver ed of another of his tiresome personal experiences; but I was too slow; he got the start of me. As nearly as I re collect, the infliction was couched in the following language: We were all boys then, and didn’t care for nothing, and didn’t ivorry a bout nothing only to shirk school and keep up a revivin’ state of divilment all the time. This yah Jim Wolf I was taking about was the prentice, and he was the best hearted fuller, he wns» find the most forgivin’ and unselfish I see—well, there couldn’t have been a bullier boy than he was, take him how yould, and sorry enough was I when I saw him for the last time. Me and Harry was always a pester ing him, and plastering horse bills on his back, and putting bumble bees in his bed, and so on, and sometimes would crowd in and bunk with him, notwithstanding his growling, and we’d let on to get mad and fight across him, so as to keep him stirred up like. He was nineteen, he was long, and lank, and bashful, and we was fourteen and sixteen, tolerably worthless and lazy. So that night, you know, that my sister Mary gave a candy pullin’, they started us off to bed early, so as the company could have full swing, so we run into Jim to have some fun. Our window looked out on the roof of the ell, and about ten o’clock a cou ple of old tom cats got to rearin’ and chargin’ about it, and carrying on like sin. There was four inches of snow on the roof, and it was frozen so that there was a right smart crust of ice on it' and the moon was shining bright, and we could see them cats hke daylight. First, they’d stand off, and e-you-yow wow, just the same as if they were cus sin’ one another, you know, and bow up their backs, and push up their tails, and swell around and spit, and then all of a sudden the gray cat he’d snatch a handful of fur out of the yaller cat’s ham, and spin him around like a but ton on a barn door, but yaller cat was game, and he’d come and clinch, and the way they’d gouge, and bite, and howl, and the way they’d make the fur fly was powerful. Well, Jim, he got disgusted with this row, and 'lowed he’d clime out there and shake ’em offn the roof. He hadn’t reely no notion of doing it, but we everlastingly dogged him and bul lyragged him, and ’lowed he’d always bragged how he would not take a dare, and so on, till birreby he histed up the winder, and lo and bnhold you, he went -went exact ly as he was, nothing on but bis shirt, and it was short.— But you ought to a seen him cre-e-epin’ over the ice, and diggin’ his toe nails in to keep from alippin’; and above all, you ought to seen his gown flap pin’ in the wind, and them long, ridic ulous • hanks of his glisten in the moon light. Them company folks was down there under the eaves, the whole squad of ’em, under that onery shed of old Washington Bower vines—all settin’ round two dozen sassers of hot candy which they’d sot in the snow to cool.— And they was laughin’ and talkin' live ly, but bless you, they didn’t know nothin’ about the panorama that was going on over their heads. Well, Jim. he went sneakin’ up un beknown to them tom cats—they was a switchin’ their tails and yeow-yowiu’, and threatenin' to clinch, you know, and not payin’ auy attention—he went sneakin’ right to the comb of the roof, till he was within a foot and a half of them, and then, all of a sudden., he made a grab for the yaller cat! But. by gi>sh, he missed fire and slipped, ins heels flew up, and he flopped on his back, i.iid went otf’u that roof like a dart!—went a clashin’ and a smashin’ and a crashin’ down through there oid rusty vines, and landed in the center of them company people —satdown liaw a yearthqu ike in them two dozen s <s sers of red hot candy, and let oil' a how winch waajiark from the tomb 1 Them gals—well, they looked, you know. They seed he wasn’t dr ssed for company, an * so tiny left. Ail Editors and Proprietors. done in a second. It was just one lit tle war-whoop, and a whisk of their dresses, and blame the one of them was in sight anywhere. Jim, he was a sight. He was cover ed with that biiin’ hot molasses candy clean down to his heels, and had more busted sassers hanging to his gown than if he was au Injun princess, and he came a nrancin’ up stairs just a hoop in’ and a swe.irin’, and every jump he made he shed some china, and every foot print was marked with candy ! And blistered ! Why, bless your soul, that poor creature couldn’t reely set down for as much as four weeks. If tisbundfc and Their Ways. Some husbands never leave home in the moruing without kissing their wives and bidding them “good-bye,” in the tones of unwearied love; and whether it be policy or fact, it has all the effect of fact, and those homes are generally pleasant ones, provided, al ways, that the wives are appreciative, and welcome the discipline in a kindly spirit. We know a gentleman who lived with his wife over fifty years, and never left home without the kfis and and tk9 “good-bye.” Some husbands shake hands with their wives and hur ry off as fast as possible, as though the effort were a something that they were anxious to forget, holding their heads down and darting around the first corner. Some husbands will leave home without sayiDg anything at all, but thinking a good deal, as evinced by their turning round at the point of observation, and waving an adieu at the pleasant face or faces at the window. Some husbands never say a word, rising from the breakfast table with the lofty indifference of a lord, and going with a heartless disre gard of those left behind. Their wives seek sympathy elsewhere. Some hus bands never leave home without t ome unkind word or look, apparently think ing that such a course will keep things straight in their absence. Then, on returning, some husbands come home pleasant and happy, unsoured by the world; some sulky and surly with its disappointment. Some husbands are called away every evening by business or social engagements; some doze in speechless stupidity on a sofa until bedtime. “Depend upon it,” says Dr. Spooner, “that house is the happiest where kindness, and interest, and po liteness, and attention is the rule on the part of husbands —of course, all the responsibility rests with them— and temptation finds no footing there.” The Franco-Prussian War, The New York Evening Post pub lishes a remarkably forcible and well considered letter on the Franco-Prus sian war, the author of which is one of the Orleans Princes so favorably known here. The purport of this thoughtful and eloquent letter is that France should and will fight to the bit ter end agitinst an enemy who will ac cept peace only on condition of aces sion of territory. The writer argues that France under the Empire was deprived of liberty at home and plac ed in a false position abroad by the policy of Napoleon, and that it gave cause for the war which Prussia was only too ready to accept; but he claims that the war was ended after Sedan, when France, having deposed the Emperor, offered Germany guar antees of peace, and Prussia refused them. The war was undertaken sole ly to defend Germany against the Em peror and his allies, and, those dispos ed of, its continuance shows that Prus sia finds war and conquest the only, means of maintaining her placo in Germany. This spirit promises to be a continued source of evil in Europe, to Prussia not less than to the rest.— Alsace and Lorraine can be kept in subjection only by force, and all Ger many will be compelled to uphold the Prussian military system for this pur pose, crippling the national industry and inciting to further military con quests as a substitute for peaceful de velopment. It is a contest of despo tism and aggression with the spirit of liberty and peace of* which France is now the representative in Europe.— The spirit of conquest is that which the patriotic Frenchmen protests against, and appeals to our sympathies for support. — Sav.

A C >rrespondent of the Country Gen tleman inquires: “What is your opin ion ou the influence of cut and uncut potatoes for seed, and on small and large onus ? There are many contradic tory statements in the papers.” To which that paper replies; The con trad itetory staements are ow ing to the varying circumstances un der which the experiments are made, without a sufficient repetition of them. Conclusions are drawn from too few tests. A single experiment will not do for the basis of a theory. If the soil is sufficiently moist when potatoes are planted, cutting is an ad vantage. It reduces the number of stalks, gives fewer new potatoes and as a necessary consequence nllows those few to grow larger and develop them selves better than where they are nu merous iu the hill, res lting from many stalks from all the eyes of a wholo po tato. But even here there is a consid erable difference with different varie ties, some potatoes growing thicker and more numerous iu the hill than others. o. so. If the soil and season happen to bo quite dry, the cut pieces dry up rapi dly, lessen the supply of food to the young and growing sprouts, and the plant- are unfeebksd. In such cases the crops will often succeed better by planting whole potatoes, the skin of which being nearly imprevious t o moisture, keeps them plump for a long time. If potatoes are planted early in the spring, when the soil is nearly always quite moist and remains so for some weeks, tilers cun be no objection to cutting potatoes into pieces before planting, and the crop will be likely to be better and the tubers more uniform ly large. There is much diversity of opinion relative to the value of small potatoes. They are not usually so succesful as large ones. But the wrong., reason is assigned. It is said that “like tends to produce alike,” and that therefore small potatoes tend to produce small ones. This w’ould be true if true seed from flowers, instead of portions of the root or stem were employed. We might as well say that grafts cut from a large tree would produce larger fruit trees than others, or that planting large trees from the nursery rows would give orchard trees of greater size. The truth is, the tuber of pota toes are essenlialy underground stems, and the eyes are the buds. We could no more expect to get larger trees by using large buds, than larger potatoes by planting large tubers. Neverthe less, we find by experiment that large potatoes give the heaviest crops. What is the reason ? Simply this, that the large tubers give a greater supply of nutri ment to the young sprouts, just in the same way that in a moist soil they will do better than in dry, hot ground. Iu repeated trials with potatoes not ovor au inch long, cut into as many pieces as those four inches long, no percepti ble difference was observed in the size of the tubers produced from both; but one carefully weighing, the largo seod was found to yield about one-eighth more on an average. The difference was undoubtedly owing to the earlier and more vigorous st irt from the 1 irgeseed, and to the continued supplies of nour ishment, and not from any inheront change, as of “like producing like.”— The planting of the potatoes in these experiments was done in fine mellow moist soil, and early in the season; had it beeu late, or in a dry or parch ed soil, it is probable that the small potatoes would have yielded almost nothing. It is well known that some vai-ieties deteriorate in successive years in par ticular soils, so that the magnitude of the crop is gradually diminished. It would bo interesting to determine by a long series of trials, whether the con stitutional weakness is effected by se lecting the largest seed only, on the one baud, and small seed from poor crops on the other. Several years would be required to determine such questions, under differing circumstan ces, side by side. How Sugar is Made White. —The way iu which sugar is made perfectly white, was found out iu a curious way. A hen that had gone through a clay mud-puddle, went with her muddy feet into a sugar house. It was observed by someone that wherever the tracks v* ere the sugar was v hite. This led to some experiments, th3 result was, that the clay came to be used in refin ing sugar. It is in tins way: the sugar is put in earthen jars, shaped as you see the sugar is. The large ends are upwards. The ends have a hole iu them. The jar is filled with sugar, the clay put over the top and kept wet.— The moisture goes down through the sugar and drops from the hole iu the small end of the jar. This makes the sugar perfectly white.—Ex.
