"Mary is a good girl, a very good gill,” he said, stroking his chin wi'li a thoughtful air, "and 1 she deserves a good husband. Wlmti.-an you do?” The young man looked rather blank at this abrupt inquiry. “Do you refer to my ability to support a wife? 1 can assure you—” “I know you are a rich man. Luke Jordan, hut I take it for granted that you ask iny girl to marry you, not your property. VVImt guarantee cun you give me. in case it should he swept away— as in thousands of instances—that you would provide for her a com fortable home? You have hands und bruins,do you know how to use them? Again 1 ask you what can you do?” This was a style of catechism fer which Luke was quite unprepared, and lie stared blankly ut the ques tioner without speaking. “I believe you managed to get through college—have you any profession?” “No, sir; I though—” “Have you any trade?” “No, sir; my father thought that witli tiie great wealth I should in herit I should not need any.” “Your father thought like a tool then. He'd much better have given you some honest occupation and cut you off witli a shilling—it might hare been the making of you. As it is, what arc you lit for? Here you are a strong, able bodied young man, 24 years old, and never earn ed n pound in your life! You ought to he ashamed •!' yourself! And you want to marry my daugh ter,” resumed the old limn, after a few vigorous putts at liis pipe. “Now, I’ve given Mary as good ad vantages for learning us any girl in town, and site hasn't thrown them away; hut if she didn’t know how to work slic’d lie no daughter of mine. If 1 choose,I could keep more '.linn one servant, hut 1 don’t; no more Ilian I choose that my daughter should lie n pale, spirit less creature, full ol dyspepsia and all manner of flue lady ailments, in stead of the smiling, bright eyed, rosy-cheeked lass she is. I did say that site could marry no lad lliat had been cursed with a rich father; hut she’s taked a foolisli liking to you und I’ll tell you what I’ll do; go to work anil prove yourself to lie a man; perfect yourself in some occupation—I don't cure what, so it he honest: then come to me, and if the girl he willing, she is yours.” As the old man suid this lie de liberately knocked the ashes out of his pipe against one of pillars of the porcli where lie was sitting, put it into his pocket, and went into the house. Pretty Mary Blifkins was wait-’ man's face eyes broadened into a smile. “You’ve the right metal in you, after all,” he cried, “come in, lad— come in. I shouldn’t wonder if we made a trade after all.” Nothing loth, Luke obeyed. Mary tripped on into the entry. Her rouad white arms were hared above tile elbows, und boro traces of flour she had been sifting. Her dress was a neat gingham over which was tied a bine cheeked apron; hut she looked as winning and lovely as she always did where- ever she was foil id. Site blushed and smiled as she saw Luke, and then turning her eyes upon her father, waited doubt fully, to hear what lie had to sav. Tiie old man regarded his daugh ter for a moment witli a peculiar look. “Mary, this young man—may hap you have seen him before—lias brought me a lot or tubs and bar rels, all of liis own make—a right good artiole, too. He asks a good, heavy price for ’em; hut if you are willing to give it, well and good; and hark ye, my girl, whatever bar gain you make your old father will ratify.” As Mr. Blifkins said the lie con siderately stepped out of the room, and wo will follow liis example. But the kind of bargain the young people make can acadily he con jectured by tiie speedy wedding tlmtlfollowed. Luke Jordan, every year, on the anniversary of liis marriage, de lights liis father in-law hy some specimen of the linndcruft hy which lie won wlmt lie declares to he tiie '‘best and dearest, wife in the world." TIIE EXSILAGE EXPERIMENT. Atlanta Poit Appeal. Many inquiries have been di rected to tlio Department of Agri culture in this city concerning the results of the ensilage experiments at the recent Cotton Exposition. The Post Appeal this morning asked Commissioner Henderson for the facts. “You may say Hint we made the experiment with a well construct ed silo and a miscellaneous supply of green forage. The amount put into the bins was cquel to fifty tous. The experiment was looked upon with distrust, through fear that fermentation would bn too rapid in this climate. The results were not such as to justify the doubts. After six weeks mold was only a few inches thick on the sur face, and alter that period did not increase perceptibly. The ensilage was excellent in quality and proved so in results to the cattle fed with it.” “Then you consider tlio experi ment a success ?” “In every way,and demonstrates beyond question that ensilage properly conducted hy our fnrmers will (ill their want in the way of winter lorage. I unhesitatingly recommend to the farmers and stock- men of Georgia the prompt and general use of forage so prepared, it will make better working stock and bettetjjieel'—the latter a con summation devotedly to he wished lor.” Ensilage is the new system of preserving green forage of all kinds in pits, properly constructed. The pits are called silos, and the forage is kept in them under press ure. The system preserves all tiie original nutriment of the forage, and ensilage is therefore coining into favor wherever tried. leather made on the continent of Europe. Tiie extensive use into which bromide of potassium has come renders the assertion of Herr Maschkc of great importance. He finds that this bromide of remarka ble sedative property is largely contaminated with lead. The sam ples ho tested were only reduced to a clear liquid after the addition of an acid. Hydrosulphtiric acid is tiie best agent to use in making the test, with the exception of, perhaps, sulphide of ammonium. Lead posioning is a.dirc alternative for nervousness or sleeplessness. Much has been heard of toughen ed glass, but Mr. Frederick Sic- means now proposes to adapt that made by his process to tbo manu facture of street lamp posts, water mains, and otherarticles sow made of east iron. He claims that his glass is stronger than iron cast ings, imperishable andincorrodible. The cost per pound, allowing more profit to the maker than can be ob tained from iron, is twice as much tiie cost of tiie latter, but the specific gravity is so muoli less, that the consumer will be able to obtain glass articles about thirty- three per cent, than cheaper golds in cast iron. scientific sparks. ing to see her lover down nt the garden gate, their usual trysting place- The smiling light faded from her eyes as she noticed Ids seller, discomlitlcd look. “Father means well,” she suid, as Luke told her the result of his application. “And I’m not sure hut lie’s about right,” she resumed after a thoughtful pause, “for it seems to me that every man, lie lie rieii or poor, ought to have some occupation.’! Presence of Mlml. Albany Nows and Ailvurtlaer. On Friday as tiie train from Brunswick was nearing Millwood, the engineer blew for brakes,which were put on promptlj’, and necks were craned out of the windows und eyes directed to tiie front to see what was the matter, when to the astonishment of all u man was seen standing in thu middle of a trestle, three hundred yards long and thirty-feet high, apparently unable to move. Everybody ex pected to sec him crushed to atoms, as tlio train was on down grade, which mulorud the brakes incapa ble of cheeking the momentum of tl e engine, and tlio space between it and the was rapidly growing less. The man seemed to take in the situation at a glauco. He could not go to tiie eud of trestle before the train would lie on him, and if lie jumped oil he would probably break his neck. He laid Ids plans quickly, and acted at once. He laid liis bundle down on the cross tics, and let himself down between the tics holding on by liis hands. As his head disappeared between tiie ties, the engineer blew off brakes and run squarely over him. As soon as tiie monster hud drawn its length over, the mull raised himself up and crawled out oil the track, resuming liis journeying us though nothing hud happened. Aged Cotton.

From a circular just issued by the secretary of the Miner’s Nation al Union it appears that 31,000 persons hare been killed in various ways during tiie past thirty-one years in English mines. “Our modernized mode of working mines,” writes the secretary, “is rendering catastrophes of this kind of a huge magnitude.” Following is a cement lor rubber: Powdered shellac is softened in ten times its weight of strong water of ammonia, whicn becomes fluid after keeping some little time with out tli« use of hot water.

Clayton, besides being a finished writer, lias an immense fund of ready, sparkling wit, and holds the same position among Georgia writers tliut Robert J. Burdette docs in the North and West. His wit is purely American, and in my opinion ranks equally as high as any of the Mark Twain school.
