Rotary Harrow.
rpillS Harrow’ is simple in its construc-
X tion. combining strength and light
ness. and cannot easily get ou‘ of order.
It revolves continually while in operation,
so that turf, stones, corn buts, or any oth
er obstruction of the kind cannot clog it.
The reason of it is the rapid motion of the
teeth; therefore, as a Pulverizer, Soil Mix
er, Destroying Bermuda Grass, and for
Covering Grain, it has no equal. We ear
nestly invite all farmers, mechanics and
business men to examine this Harrow, feel
ing assured that it cannot fail to meet their
highest approval. The following named

A 7-ycar-ohl boy. in Harrisburg. Pa.,
while “playing circus,” a few days
ago. stood iq on his head so long that
lie was atlaked with brain fever, and
died in a few hours.
A remark by Revivalist Harrison,
in a San Francisco meeting : “Some
times I think I shall not die. Hut
when my time comes angels will come
and place me under their wings and
bear me gently away.”
Father Bfeheny, the Roman Catho
lic pastor at Manayunk. Pa., declared
in a sermon that he had never worn a
stitch of English cloth since he arrived
in America, and that, rather than send
his relatives a dollar that might go
into a landlord’s pocket, he would let
them die.
One intoxicated man said it was a
bundle of rags that lay on a window
sill 200 } ards away, at Austin, Texas,
and his companion said it was a
woman's head. They made a bet, and
decided it by shooting at the object;
hut neither won, for it was a boy's
head which the bullet grazed.
Blackjack is a Missouri town of
some sentiment, notwithstanding its
name, for it has just had an elopement,
involving a furious pursuit of the dying
pair by the girl's father on horseback,
a charge of shot tired scatterimgly
into their backs, a runaway by all tlx*
scared horses, a light between the tv o
men, and the final triumph of the
lovers.
During the siege of Sebastopol a
Russian shell buried itself in the side
of a hill, without the city, and opened
a spring. A little fountain bubbled
forth where the cannon-shot had fallen,
and during the remainder of the siege
afforded to the thirsty troops who were
stationed in that vicinity an abundant
supply of pure cold water. Thus the
missile of death from an enemy, un
der the direction of an overruling Pro
vidence, proved an almoner of life to
the parched and weary soldier of the
allies.
The superintendent of the Bingham
tom Juvenile Asylum is a firm be
liever that a propensity for crime is
hereditary, lie cites the case of a
boy whose parents and grandparents
were thieves, but who had never known
them nor their ways, and had been
reared most carefully. Kleptomania
was developed in him, however, and
he will steal things which cannot be
of any value to him, siinplv from im
pulse.
The sermon that the Rev. James L.
Hill delivered at Lynn, several days
ago, was not remarkable in quality;
yet the preacher became so affected
that he had to lean on the desk for
support, the sexton fell flat in an aisle,
the choir could not sing the doxology,
and a number of women were carried
out iu a fainting condition. It was
coal gas from the heater, ami not elo
quence from the pulpit, that produced
this commotion.
The American negroes now per
forming as minstrels in London do not
encounter any of the social prejudice
which they are accustomed to at home.
“The spectacle,” says a correspondent
if the Clipper, “of colored men and
white women walking arm-in-arm up
Piccadilly is one that is Calculated to
laze gods and men. How it .affects
lie swell*', who have been in the habit
>f making Piccadilly their pet pro
menade, I can only conjecture.”
The Tombstone Epitaph refers to a
curious custom in that remarkable
settlement, of a huge negro with a be’!
stalking arond at certain hours to an
nounce llie beginning of a fresh game
of keno at a house of which he is a
retainer. This is a feature of the
manners of their grandfathers which
will doubtless interest future genera
tions of Tombstoncrs. and is fittingly
preserved by the local chronicler.
A brother and sister, aged 15 and
17, went for the first time to a circus
in Little Rock, and were so dazzled
by the glories of the show that they
resolved to go olf witli it. The girl
put on male attire, and in that garb
introduced herself and brother to the
circus manager as twins. They could
sing fairly, were a remarkably hand
some pair, and the manager hired
them at $2 a week and expenses to
perform in the concerts after the reg
ular ring exhibitions. On reaching
New Orleans they had seen all tin y
desired of circus life, and were glr.d
to be sent back by a benevolent clown
to their anxious parents.
Capt. Maxwell, a British naval offi
cer, <vho has been cruising with his
ship in the western Pacific, writes
home that a striking peculiarity of the
Ellice Islanders is the entire absence
of arms among them. lie did not, see
i club or a spear, or any weapon what
ever, cither in the hands or houses of
these natives. At Ponapi, in the Caro
line Islands, he was greatly impressed
with the magnitude and solidity of the
residence of former chiefs now in ruins.
On one islet he found four complete
squares built one in the other, with
walls, some of them thirty five feet
high and twelve thick.

Bob Oblonis, a character of note in
St, Louis, is dead. llis father was a
blue Presbyterian minister, his wife
was from a wealthy and respected
family, and his own conduct was above
reproach until he was about fort)-.
Then he killed an enemy in a street
encounter, and was sent to a peniten
tiary for twenty years. llis wife
bought a residence directly across the
way from the Gubernatorial house in
Jefferson City, and labored with Go
vernor after Governor to obtain a par
don, until the seventh granted one.
But Oblenis did not return to respec
tability. lie became a gambler, and
a leader of gamblers, exerting a con
siderable political influence in St.
Louis, and amassing a fortune. He
died at seventy, soon after becoming
a seemingly devout Christian.
