"Well,”, continued the senior member of the firm, “we must ex haust evey effort to find tbe miss ing deed. There is a letter in the morning's mail from Mr. Arnold, authorizing us to increase the re ward to live thousand dollars.” “That ought to fetch it, if it is in existence,” said Tom Hutcbiu- son. And he threw down bis papeis and wheeled his ofllce chair to face Mr. Charles Wilson, aged twenty, two, with legal aspirations, who wa9 “rending" in the office o( this celebrated firm. “Wilson,”he said, “write out an- other advertisement in the Arnold case, and take it around to the Ledger.” “Yes, sirl” answered the young man. And he took a sheet of paper and began to write. After awhile he read the follow ing, and tbe firm agreed that it was tbe proper thing: “Information Wanted Infor mation wanted of a certain parch ment deed, given by Andrew Sharp to Archibald Arnold, conveying to made]” the said Arnold a certain parcel of land, containing about one hundred and thirty-five thousand acres, more or less, situated in the state of Iowa, said deed having been given at Burlington, Iowa, in the year 1845. This deed was lost or stolen some fifteen years ago and any one furnishing fntormation which will lead to its recovery, will receive a reward of five thousand dollars by applying to Holbrook Si Hutchinson, Attorneys at Law, Philadelphia, Pa.” You'd better take it around at once,” said the head of the firm. And the young man left the of- flee to perform the errand. Messrs. Holbrook Si Hutchin son’s student was a poor voung man—very poor—but lie Lad a stout heart and great ambition, and although he found it a serious mat ter to make ends meet, ho was studying very hard to perfect him. self for the bar, after wbieh auspl. Charlie, of course, spoke of the missing deed. They amused themselves with discussing what they would do with tlie reward, eupposing they should find the important document, and were talking in this ridiculous strain when they reached Madge’s home. “Tea is ready,” said Mrs. Bevan, greeting Charlie kindly, “and I’ve opened a jar of my home-made strawberry jelly just for your bene fit. While Mrs. Bevan poured out the tea, be removed tbe cover of the jelly Jar. Suddenly lie turned pale, bis lower jaw dropped, and he sat gazing fixedly ut the jelly jar like one spell-bound. "Are you ill, Charlie?” cried Madge, springing to her feet. “Yon havn’t come upon one of those nasty black beetles?” ejacu lated Mrs. Bevan, suspending the tea pot in midair. J’No, not” gasped Charlie, after a time. “It’s nothing. I shall all right directly. It’s—it’s— five thousand dollars!” He seized the part of parchment that bad covered the jelly jar, and bending over it began to decipher the written characters upon it. “Witness this, mv hand—An drew Sharp—witness!” lie muttered and I hen raised his head and tun ed to Madge, who was bendin, over his chair, with a glad light her lilue eyes. “I’ve found dear I” ho cried. “What?” “A part of the missing deed; and now if we can trace tho rest,” lie cried, excitedly, “our fortune “Mercy on usl” gasped Madge beginning to cry in her bewilder ment. “Did .vou ever?" ejaculated Mrs Bevan, and in her excitement she dropped the teapot to tho floor, smashing it into bits. “Madge/ she finally managed to say, “the rest of the jars arc In the cellar; on the swinging Bhclf.” Charlie dashed down the cellar stairs, and, there on a shelf in the middlo of tho cellar, were two doz en jelly jars, laokfng one, each with a parchment tied over it for a cov W.

He had rosy day dreams, some limes, of a-futnre, after fame and wealtli should have fallen to his share, and the central figure of tlieBo dreams was pretty Madge Bevan, who was nearly as pool himself, and whom he had loved ever since be was a boy at bcIiooI. “If I could find the missing deed,” he thuugbt, as be hurried to the newspaper office, “all would he well. Five thousand dollars would give me good start in lire, and I could make dear Madge happy, and lift the burden of tbe support of her mother from her frail shoulders. I shall be admitted to the bar next term, and it will be pretty up-hill work at first, unless I have a re serve capital. By the way,” he muttered, aloud, “1 promised Madge to take tea with them this evening.” C.iarlie Wilson had expended a great deal of thought on the most important factor in the great iana case of Arnold vs. Sharp—the miss, ing deed to the immense tract of Western land, and for the past month he bad spent bis idle mo ments visiting junk stores, in the hope of somewhere running acrosB the parchment. In tho course of his search he had overhauled tons of old paper, but so far he could discover not the slightest trace of the missing docu ment, and hundreds of others who had been tempted by the large re ward offered for its discovery, were equally successful. To day he thought more about tbe deed than he did of Coke and Blackstonc, and was so restless and preoccupied that when the clock struck three he laid aside bis books and left tbe office. M rs. Jlevan and her pretty daugh ter lived in an old farmhouse in tbe suburbs. Madge was employed as a copy ist in a big market etect publish ing house, and she usually finished her day’s work at 4 o’clock. Until that hoar Charlie paced slowly up and down the sidewalk in front of the tall building where she worked. They walked home together, and “Take them up stairs!” He or dered Airs. Bcvau and Madge, who bad followed him. And be gathered up as many of the jars as he could carry. When they wore placed onllio table he removed the covers. It was an anxious moment, nnd his hand trembled as he fitted the bits together. At last the thing took definite shape. Not a line was wanting. A few of the ‘and whereases’ and ‘provided alsos’ were a trifio sticky and a few of tbu words had lost a letter or two; but the main points were all there, and Charlie Wilson fairly danced with glee. “where did you get it?” lie ask ed, turning to Mrs. Bevan. “I had no idea the paper was of any value,” answored that good lady, “and I selected it from i number that I found in the attie because it was parchment. They wore there when wc moved into the bouse, and I expect they were left by Mr. Arnold, the owner of the property, when he moved out.” “Arnold—” began Charlie. “Yes—Mr, Archibald Arnold. Ho owns this houso and land, but the property is managed by an agent.” ‘That explains it,” said the young man. Mr. Archibald Ar nold is the plaintiff in the suit.” “Well, I’m glad it’s found, al though thoy were excellent covers for jelly jars. Bit down and eat your supper.” “I can’t stop,” cried Charlie, reaching for his hat. He put the preeious jar covers iuto bis pocket, and proceeded with all possible speed to the office of Holbrook & Hutchinson. The firm had not yet gone home, and Charlie laid the disjointed document before them on the big office table. One glance convinced them that their student bad secured the long lost d:.ed, and the good news was telegraphed to their client, who lived in New York. He camo on tho next day, and they told him the story. At its close ho drew a check for fivo thousand dollars, payable to Charlie’s oidor, ami the lot- lowing week Charlie and Madge were married. Mr. Arnold won hin suit, and one day paid a visit to the old homestead whera Mr. and Mrs. Wil son and Mrs. Bevan still lived. They receivey tberiob man very graciously, and he helped to cat some of tbe strawberry Jelly. “That paper,” ho said at parting, “was worth a hundred times five thousand dollars to me.” A few days later s letter was re ceived addressed to Mr. Charles Wilson, inclosing a very kind note and a.deed to the old farm house and ihe plot of ground in the cen ter of which it stood, “given,” as tho letter read, “in token of my appreciation of the great service you have rendered me.” Charlie is quite a distinguished lawyer now, and every year his wife sends a jar of strawberry jelly to Mr. Archibald Arnold. IVonld Not Divide. A Detroit lawyer received a vis it the other day from a farmer in a neighboring county, who stated that he had fallen into trouble with some of bis relatives over tbe dl- vison of an estate. “What’s the amount?” asked tho lawyer. “About $7,000. I was thinking I’d make you this proposition: If you’ll take the case and recover the $7,000 I’ll give you $6,000 of it." “My dear sir,” calmly replied the attorney without tho least change of countenance, “you had best consult some police court shyster. I should not only want tho wliolo $7,000, but a retaining feo of at least $500! I never divide with any man.” Tbe farmer conolndcd not to have a suit.—Detroit Free Press. Banker James will have to face the criminal code. Mr. Mercer has had him nabbed on a case which be describes ns follows: “Mr. James lias promised to pay me, and failed to do so, and now I want him to show up what bo hasdono with my money and that of all tho others. I found him moving things out of tiio bank uftor midnight the night ho closed, and I want to know if any of my money was in tho lot. Then I know he refused to cash a check presented to him at 1 o’clock that day, but did not hesitate to take in my money alter 2 o’clock. I charge that he must lidve known he was insolvent when lie look my money. All I want is to have the grand jury and the courts pass upon tlie honesty of the scheme by which I am to-night out of my money.” A couple of praotioal jokers, liv ing at a big up town hotel bought a terrapin while walking through tho market tlie other day, and slipped it into the ligd of a fresh arrival who hod just registered. They watched that night until they saw tho newcomer retire to bed. In about ten minutes a wbito rob bed figure began shouting down tbe elevator shaft for tho landlord. Wiicn tho crowd got up stairs tho victim conducted the landlord to the bed and turned down the clothes Mister Hotelkeopor,” said the stranger solemnly, poiuting to tho terrapin; “I’m from New Jersey, and 1 can stnnd roost anything, but either tiiat bug or me has got to take another room.” Tito senior editor of tho Sumter Republican reaffirms his allegiance to tlie Democratie party. It is be coming an annual pastime with Col. Hancock.

The Atlanta Constitution had its sanctum door painted black, and tlie knob cover ed witli crape. In the usual lan guage of tlie country editor, “we extend our condolence in this their hour of sore afillction.”—Ifawkins- villo Dispatch. Cultivation ofConi art Cotta We need not tell you that present system of rapid cultiv of cotton is wrong. Mr. T. Dickson bit the naif square o head when he recommend plowing of ootton every 3 . and tbe chop hands do their wog necessary between the time of the plowings. With this system, four thorough workings is sufficient, with one funow in the middle, after the first, ot August. Most farmers, now-a-days, plow cotton six or seven times. They take hold of the cotton plant as if it was a hot house plant, and work it in rap id succession, to hasten it on to maturity. Let ns turn the matUr over, and look at it a little. Don’t you know that by rapid cultivation of cotton it causes it to grow and mature rapidly? Don’t yon know that If cotton grows rep. idly it will put on forms rapidly? Don’t you know that as the form* are put on (after a given number of days) they bloom in the same portion?

The census, as expounded by the Indianapolis Sentinel, fastens the burden of illiteracy on the Repub lican party. According to the cen sus it says “there were in the Uni ted States 1,871,317 male citizens above tbe age of twenty-one who could not write. Of those 802,916 were whites and 1,008,302 colored. It is estimated that of the colored voters the Democratic party secures about one-tenth. or, in round numbers, say 101,000, while the Republicans manage to take in the remainder, something more than 900,000. They are sowing in 'orac places in the west a “drought-proof grass,” sorghum Imlapensc, which sends its roots down into the ground af ter moisture from tnrec to twelve feet.
