FARM AND GARDEN.
A T THE FIRESIDE.
Mat, to the majority of our readers, is
the corn-planting month. No other crop
•o demands that “we make haste slowly,’’
«* this. Cjrn being a tropical, or at least
• subtropical, plant, it requires a higher
temperature for its germination and
growth than do natives of temperate re
gions. The Indian’s rule for planting,
when ’ the young oak loaves nro as large
•s a squirrel’s oar,” and tho rulo of the
New England farmers, to plant when tho
shad-flower bush is in bloom, are only
d.fferent ways of saying, "wait until tho
ground is warm.” By whatever natural
sign the timo may be fixed, it will ho
found that the season is so fnr advanced
that the thermometer averages sixty de
grees iu tho shndo. Corn is a rapid
grower, and demands a large amount of
piaut food, and Bomo quick-acting fertili
ser may he protltably sown with the seed,
to give the young plants a good start.
Tho manuro from the poultry house may
he best disposed of boro. Whether to
plant in hills or drills, should ho do
fermined hy tho condition of tho soil.
Planting iu drills gives more plants, and
consequently a greater yield to the aero,
and is best on dean laud; hill-plnnting
allowB the crop to he worked both ways,
and is preferable on weedy soils. The
chief enemies to sprouting corn nro vnri-
eus out-worms and grab: below ground,
and crows and blackbirds after it iB up.
Tarr!n< the soeds will keep off insects.
! pint of warm tar is stirred with a peck
of seed, until ovory kernel is evenly
coated, then roll iu plaster. Birds nro
kept off by scarecrows of some kind; clat
tering wind mills being among the most
tffootive.
Grass lands should bo put in ordor for
the mower by rolling; pick up fallen
•ranches and whatever rubbish that will
obstruct the roachino. No sensible far
mer will pasturo his meadows in spring.
1 hundred pounds of nitrnto of soda to
the acre will be n profitable application,
as will a bushel or two of plaster to clover.
Aasoou ns the soil is ready, plnnt po
tatoes. Early planting of cnrly varieties
is advisnblo where tho boetlo is trouble
some If “tho bug" attacks tho cropB, do
not dolay the uso of paris green.
If root-crops ore not grown on the
farm, try a f w mnngols this year; next
year there will be a field of them. Mark
off rleii, woll-mel owed soil in flftcon-
inch rows, and drop a few soeds st every
toot; cover an inch deep, and make the
soil firm over thorn. When woll up, re
move all bnt the strongest plants. Some
of tho globe varieties are to be preferred
to the long kinds.
Fodder crops to follow tho ryo must
be provided. As soon ns a strip of rye is
out off, plow, and sow enrly sweot corn
or oats, for a succession of fodder.
Aronnrt tho hosrth when raving storms and
hitter winds do blow.
When all tho wintry wolds STS wrapped in
shroud of whitest snow,
When closer to him doth his rags the shivering
outcast draw,
Who dreams not of a single meal, and prays
hut for a thaw.
Pile on more logs; the brighter that our cheery
hearth doth glow,
Tho morn our henrts shall warm to those who
no such blessings know
As hearth and home, and kith and kin, and

Poor wanderers, who on this earth no jot of
joy can find.
Poor wo may bo, yet not so poor hut that
a penny fee
Wo have for such; and know, oh, Lord, wo

Who aidoth not his brother when ho knocketh

“It is tho mortgage I” she cried, as
she undid tho formidable doonmont. It
was not her familiarity with law papers
that enabled her to so promptly identify
it; every fold and crease and blot of this
mortgage sho know by long and sad ao-
quatntance.
“Aro yon sure ’lisn’t an ‘April fool,’
mammio ?” asked George, suspiciously.
Neither ho nor his mother had, from
past oxperionco, anv reason to expect
any favors from Harding or tho rich
property-owner ho represented. Here
was tho mortgago in lior hands—there
oonld ho no doubt of that—a small piece
of paper, after all, to havo been suoh a
dead weight on tho tiny homo and tho
three that woro in it. Careful examina
tion failed to disoover any scrap of a
letter or word of explanation accom

“It is too good to ho trno," sighed the
widow, still dazed by tho event, "but

About Strawberries, Vegetables, Etc.
Glvo strawberry hods a mulch of straw,
coarse hay, or even corn stalks, to keep
tho fruit from being soiled. Sawdust and
tan should not be used, as they adhere to
tho fruit. In southorn localises, fruit
for northern markets must not bo picked
tr,o ripe; if to be ovor twenty-four hours
in transit, no berries should be full col
ored when packed.
New shoots of blaokborrios and rasp
berries will start from tho roots; select
threo or four from oach stool fur next
yonr’s fruiting, and boo up tho others.
Currants and gooseberries Bhould be
mulehed. Upon tho first appearance of
holes in tho loaves, kill the worm with
white hellebore, using a tiihlespoonfui of
the powder to a pailful of water; apply
with a syringe or garden-pump.
Newly planted grape vines should boar
bnt a single shoot tho first year; mb off
all others, and keep that tied up to a
stake. J he leaf-rolling caterpillar, found
among the leaves of a growing shoot, is
best destroyed by hnnd-piclting. Jf roso
bugs appear at flowering timo, Bltako off
early in the morning, and catch in n psn
containing wnter with a little kcrosone.
Beets, carrots and other root crops
Bhould he thinned froely, and tho weoda
in the rows removed.
Cabbages and cauliflowers are for
warded by frequent and deep hoeing,
Sow seeds of tbeso iu tho opon ground for
late crops. If the Savoy cabbages are
not grown, try them.
Sow celery seed in rows eight or ton
inches apart; roll, or pat with tho back
of a spado, to bring the soil in close con
tact with the seeds.
Cucumbers, melons, etc., tho seeds of
which wero sown ou sods, or in pots, may
go out. They will grow all the better if
covered nights ami cold days with frames
made by tacking cotton cloth over bot
tomless boxes. Sow seeds in the opon
ground.
Seeds of “sweet herbs,” such as thyme,
sage, etc., shou d be sown in beds iu the
epen ground, for plants to be trails
planted later.
Early kinds of sweot oorn should be
planted as soon as tho weuther will allow
and followed by weekly plantings.
Hungarian (Jrass.
W. Rranskill, Canada, inquires about
Hungarian grass. Cut before it is too
old, tho hay from Hungarian grass is hy
some valued equally with Timothy, while
others regard it as slightly lo.-s nutritious.
It should not bo sown until the soil
thoroughly warmed. Juno is the proper
month, but it will make a crop if sown
as late bb July. From three pecks to
bushel of seed may he sown to the acre,
and the crop should ho ready to cut
about six weeks. It is important to cut
this grass while in flower. When seeds
begin to form, n barb or bristle, which
accompanies them, is apt to become too
hard, and sometimes tho hay on that
-account, is injurious to horses.
Potato Bugs.
John McCullough, Henderson Co.
Ky.—Tho only certain remedy for the
Colorado Beetle, commonly called tho
Potato Bug, is arsenic iu the form
Paris green or London purple—a table
spoonful stirred in a puil of water, and
applied in any convenient manner, either
by rue of syringe, the watering pot,
even sprinkling with a whisk-broom,
These poisons are not solublo, and the
mixture must he kept stirred up from the
bottom. Care 3hould be taken to keep
these violent poisons where no accident
can happen to animals or persons.
Whatever brightness thoro was in
that litllo household was striotly homo-
madc. Homemade things may luck
style and polish and u great many oilier
qualities, but they are solid aud satisfy-
ing. Tho widowed mother whs bravo
and patient; fonrteen-year-old George
was manly and holpfnl; Baby Bess, a
wee tot, insisted that she was "mamtiia’s
sunheau and Georgio’s joy," aud bo-
twoou them the luvo those throe had for
each other was their priueipnl fortune.
To ho sure, they had their cottage,
ucstlod like n brown littlo wren of a
house among tho olicrry trees, bnt so
fur from the moro pretentions street of
the village as to he quite seoluded in its
modest roliromont—a homouest whero
there was moro peace than plenty,
Ono thing this tiny resilience had in
oommnu with many stately mansions
that uuwinkiiigly stand forth as it hog
ging for ptihlio admiration—there was a
mortgage ou it. It was so very small a
house that it really seomed as though it
would not tnku much of a mortgage to
crush ill its low, rumbling roof, like a
too heavy load of suoiv, and, like the
snow, is a mortgage on the poor man’s
homo, aoold, pitiless dead weight.
Next after tier two ohiidren Mrs.
Morris loved this wren-like house best
of anythiug, and for three long yeara
she had worked at that mortgage, sav
ing up aud paying it off "by littles"
until at lnat when of tho original $500
there ouly remained a trifle less than
8-10 to pay, lawyer Harding had given
her notion Mint ho hod orders from tho
holder of tho mortgage that ho could
no longer extend the time, and that un
less the bnlituco was settled hy the first
lay of the month lie would foreclose.
This simply meaut that sho would lose
all Him had paid and bo turned out of
doors into the bargain. At the sumo
timo tho lawyor had intimated, ou giv
ing this disngroeahlo intelligence, that
if Mrs. Morris would consent to marry
him he would relievo her of all further
trouble, not ouly in regard to this hut
all future flnauoial embarrassments,
Tito mortgago itself was trouble
enough for ono poor woman to boar;
bnt she would rather have hail all tho
mortgages In tho world to fight than
endure the thought of life with a man
with tho mean traits of this lawyor.
She gave him to undorstaud this fact as
dearly iih a good uso of plain, matter-
of-fact English could do it. His words
wero smooth enough—too smooth, iu
faot—as ho went away, hut thoro was
tho sort of smile on liis face and itH sin
ister counterpart iu his soul that boded
no good to tliu ohjoot of hia thoughts.
It was ns evident to tier as though ho
hail said so in so many words that tho
timo moutioned would bo tho last duy
of grace.
April first came—lint not tho paltry
balnuoo needed to olear off the mort
gage. And no sum of mouoy is paltry
when ono must lmvo it to avert disaster
and oanuot got it. Mrs. Morris could
see no earthly way out of her trouble
that morning. Everything looked dark.
It was hard to have worked so long, to
have struggled for weeks ami months
aud yenrs, as she had done, only to lose
nil nt Inst. No, not all 1 For she bail
George anil Bess loft. Thinking of
them made it still harder to bear, for it
was for their dear sake sho had toiled
and economized and saved. There was
a suspicious suggestion of what hor eyes
had been doing when Goorgo came
ohcerily in to his breakfast.
"What, n.y little mnmmio’s oyes aro
half drowned I” he exclaimed in his
hearty, boyish way, with part fun and
more tenderness in his tone, as lie
hugged hor liko a young bear, nud
dabbed kisBcs into each damp eye.
“Tisn’t me?” ho continued, searching
for a cause for the rather unusual dis
play of discomfort. “No? I’m glad of
that, because I don’t think 1’vo done
anything downright awful lately, and it
can’t he Bess. She’s all right, I know—
no monsles, or whooping cough, or any
thing—for I just saw her sleeping liko a
—a—” here lie paused for n satisfac
tory Bimilo, dabbing more warm kissos
from rosy lips into red eyes the whilo—
“liko a happy littlo kitten.”
“Georgio, do eat your breakfast. It’s
as bad to have one’s eyes kissed out ns
drowned out.”
“Oh, I know 1” he continued, pursu
ing the subject with no intention of
being put off. "That old Hardiug is
coming again, I’ll hot anything.”
“Yes, dear, he is coining,” hut tho
little woman had not tho heart to tell all
that dreaded coming implied.
“Pshaw, mammio 1 Don’t worry so
about it. That blamed mortgage is al
most paid off and you won’t have to see
the mean sneak many times moro.”
“I don’t liko to hear yon speak that
way. It doesn’t help mo and it hurts
really belonged and for whom he works.
“If it ain’t some kind of n mean ‘April
fool,’ I’ll ent my Imt,” said Goorgo, with
greater force thim elegance, who would
not bclievo tho evidence of his own eyes,
when tlint evidence wns in Harding’s
favor.
Presently that person himself made
his appearance. He hod tho air of ono
who had earned a warm woloomo and
expootoil to receive it. Betwoeu grati
tude and doubt the widow smiled aud
hor maunor was so much moro friendly
than ever heforo that Harding fluttered
himself Hint ho had douo a very clever
thing indeed.
“Yes, my dear Mrs, Morris, I sent
on tlie mortgago ahead of mo beenuso I
thought you would liko to got it into
your own Itnuds at last.”
"Indeed, I am very glad if nil my
trouble with it is filially at an end.”
"I fully appreciate that fnot, and
wished to’ relieve you of all annoynuco
na soon ns possible,” with a plausible,
self-satisfied look. “But I felt so suro
your own good sonso would nrgo you to
agree kimily to my proposition, that nt
last you would consent to make mo tho
happiest of mou, that I did uot hesitato '
to lot you sco with what porfeot confi
dence I whs rcnily to carry out my part i
of tho contract to roliovo you of all
financial troubles."
"Mr. Hnrding 1” wns all sho oouhl
say iu hor lndigimnt surprise.
“Perhaps I liuvo been too hnaty—’’
"I nm sorry you have put mo to the
disagreeable nooosslty of reposting what
I thought I had said plainly enough be
fore; 1 would rather give up this little
homo of ours and take my children I
know not wlioro than to acoopt any
homo you could provide.”
Rising ns hIiu sjioko, with n very be
coming color in hor ohcoks, sho indi
cated that tho interview wns nt nn end.
“Thou, minium,” ho repliod, also ris
ing, “it is inv paiuful duty to inform
you that tlio’alteruativo of your own
solootion must ho enforced. If yon will
please to notioo, this mortgage still InokB
my signature as agent witii power of
attorney. That signature I shall be
pleased to nfllx on tho payment of the
Imliiuoo duo—thirty-seven dollars and
fifty cents.”
"But, I thought—” stammered tho
widow.
“You thought I was fool onough to
roloaso you from tho obligations of this
dooumout boforo I know you wero ready
to marry mo? Hardly, navo you tho
SJi7.fiO handy? No? I thought not.
Then, minium, I shnll foreclose without
uuy further delay, anil—"
“G amt that, wilt you, anil soo if thoro
isn’t 837.B0 thoro.”
It was Goorgo who had hoard onongh
of tho conversation to find out that tho
mortgago was not paid off, after all, and
slipping out of tho room had rottiruod a
minute tutor with a small box full of
silver aud copper, wliioli he slapped
down unceremoniously on the table in
front of Hnrding. Whioh wns tho moro
surprised, tho mother or tho lawyor,
it would bo quite impossible to tell.
“What’s all this moan?” demanded
Harding, witii a scowl.
"Nover you mind what all this means.
Just count that money and sign your
namo, and thou if you over bother my
mother ngniu just look out for yourself,
that’s all 1" ,
“Oh, George I” wns all Mrs, Morris
oonld sny.
There was nothing for nnrding to do
but to count tho money, whioh was cor
rect to a cent, and nltlx his signature,
which ho did with n faoo tlint looked liko
a thunder cloud, and not without milt-
toriugs tlint faintly suggested tho dut-
ngreeftblo commotion insido. When ho
was at last out of the house, vioiously
banging tho door liehind him as a sort
of harmless malediction ns ho went,
Goorgo caught hiB mother iu his arms,
ami hugged and kissed hor till both
woro fairly ont of breath.
"I earned nml saved it all mysolf,
mammio," ho finally was ablo to explain,
“doing odd jobs nud thiugs—all but the
last 810 and that I got for my stamp col
lodion yesterday. I know you hadn't
the monoy to make this lost payment
and I meant to surprise you all tho time.
I knew that wns an ‘April fool' when
tho mortgage onmo, hut if there is a
bigger April fool in this town than that
blamed old Hardiug, I don’t want to see
him.” „ „
“You blessed boy I was all “mam-
mio" oonld say betweon laughing and
crying, whilo it would have boon hard
to timl threo happier peoplo on tho face
of tho earth that day than the brave,
patient mother, her mauly, helpful soUj
and sweet Baby Bess, who got her
share of tho sunshine of joy.
And it will not make you the least bit
sorry, I nm sure, to know that the
reason Harding was so anxious to marry
Mrs. Morris was that ho knew of some
property that whb soon coming to
hor, of whioh sho had never n hint.
But wheu this uew nud unexpected
blessing did oome to thorn tkoy did uot
desert their brown little wren-like home-
nest under the oherry trees—oulv it
made possible George's dream of college
days and a broader future.

IoV , still nlivo and at present a
resident of a growing town on the shore!
of Lake Superior on the liuo of tho
Canadian Pacific Railway. Among tlicj
loyalists seized hy Riel and Imprisonedi
iu the fort pending his decisiou iis to!
what disposition should bo made of
them, was tho bravo young son of a Indy
frieud of Miss MeV . Ono morning]
the poor mother came to the latter lady ’•<
house iu a terrible atnto of agitutiou, n’liiii
told Miss MeV it was reported tlint
Riel hail cither shot or dee ded to shoot'
all tho prisouors iu his hnuds,
In vain the youugor woman triod to,
sootho her friend anil to oomfort her 1
with assurances to tho coutrary. The
mother's fear grow greater, hor agitation'
wilder, anil Miss MoV concluded
tlint unless definite nows of some k;ud,
was soon rcooivcd hor friend's reason'
would leavo her nltogethor. In nn in-,
stnuttho bravo girl's mind wns made up,
nud with a hasty kiss of oomfort and n
parting word of oheor to tho well-nigh,
frantic mother, Miss MeV hurr.cd
to the rosidenoo of a gentleman friend in
tho neighborhood to whom she confid'd
her intention of going to see Riel. At
first tho gentlemnu laughed nt hor; bjt
Booing Bhe was determined he booamrJ
grave nml urged tier to abandon such
dangerous anil nselosB mission ns tlint
slio had taken ou herself—to scok out
tho leader of the rebels, learn from him
tho fate of tho prisoners, and, if they
still lived, to plead for their lives.
Eventually, finding that tho yonug lady
could not bo moved from her purpose,
tho gontleman orderod Ids horse to lie
hnrnesscd, anil in n few minutes he and
Miss MoV wero on tho way, Ero
long they reached the settlement, and
after many inquiries learned tlint Riel
was then nt the post-office, Tlnther
drovo Miss MoV and her escort, and
thoro tho rebel lendor was approached
l>y the gentleman witii tho hold request
that lie would grant an interview to a.
young Indy who desired to seo him on
special business. Half amused, halt
puzzlod, Riel assented, and at the ap
pointed hour that afternoon Mins MoV—
stood faoo to faoo witii tho robul lender
iu ids quarters at the fort.
“Well, Ma’amselle, what is it?”
"I want to seo young , ono of tho
prisoners couflnou hy you.”
“What for?”
“Bothat lean toll his mother ho is
not dead. May 1 seo him ?”
"Yob," curtly responded Riel, looking
keenly nnd admiringly at tho girlish figure
standing proud and undaunted hotoro
him. Iu nfow momenta Miss MoV
was ushered into ttio room, or rattier to
tho door of tho room—for it was too
crowded for even ono moro to enter
where the loyalists were imprisoned.
Tho room was much too small to prop
erly acoommodate tho number confined
iu it, nud tho unfortunate occnpnnts bad
to remain Btnniling, packed together liko
sardines in n box. As tho door wns
opened hy tho guard, Miss MoV al
most reeled in tho gust of heated, fetid
air tlint swept into tho pnssngo; Imt in
iu instant slio recovered, and stood in
tho midst of tho half-stilled men who
crowded about hor. A few hurried words
with her friend’s son, n whisper of oheor
to tils follow prisoners, nnd tho bravo
girl wns baok again in the prosouoo of
tlie rebel captain.
Well, you saw him ?"
Yes. 'May I bring him somo oloan
clothes ? Ho askoil for them. There
can ho no harm in tlint.” ;
You may bring them. Anything'
elso ?”
“Yes. They ore crying for water.”
"They shall havo some.”
Next day Miss MeV returned to.
the fort and was duly admitted. After!
revisiting tlie prisoners Bhe was ns heforo
brought baok to Riel's private apartment,
wlioro sho tenrfully besought him to ro-
ionso the men wlioso ouly orimo was loy
alty to their queen and oouutry, Seeing
her appeal had no effect, sho changed
hor tactics and urged him for his own
sake to let them go, pointing ont to him
that hiB success could ho but temporary,
and that on the arrival of troops from
Outnrio the rebellion would ho crushed
nnd its fomenters oortaiuly hanged,
Btill Rlol romainoil unmoved, nnd again
Miss MoV entreated him to spare
his prisoners’ lives, alternating her
prayers with half coherent threats of
vengoance. At last Riel spoke, nnd tlie
overjoyed girl listened with beating heart
to Ida promiso to release tho prisoners ou
condition of there being no rejoicing
over it by the loyalists of the settlement.
Miss MoV assured him that sho
would see to this, aud orders wero given
accordingly.
Riel, who had been at'lunoh when
Mibb MeV arrived, then offered her
a glass of wino and politely asked her to
partnko of somo light refreshment with
him. “No!' 1 nnswored tho undaunted
girl, her eyes flashing ns sho spoke;
"you are in arms against your Queen, I
will nover break bread with a rebel;”
nud turning to the door she left Riel
dumb with nmnzement nt her audacity,
Shortly afterward all tho prisoners cx-
oept one, Beott, wero set at liberty, and
in a littlo while the ears of the man who
freed ,hcm wore greeted with tho sounds
of the rejoicings he had forbiddon. Tho
luiliscreot couduot of the loyalists, who
hnd been warned against it hy Miss
MoV , boro its inevitable fruit, and
Riel promptly ordered tho execution of
the one remaining prisoner—Thomas
Scott,.
ODDS AND ENDS.
When Lord Palmerston was Premier
of England he visited his Irish estate
for tho pnrposo of inspecting the im
provements which woro being made,
and ono morning he, with n friend,
walkod with their gnus many miles over
it iu search of game. They had, how
ever, littlo sport, aud became tirod and
hungry. Iu tho distance Lord Palmer
ston saw a cabin—a poor littlo cottage,
not so good as n stable—to which ho
mado his way, in company with his
friend and a keeper, nnd found the tene
ment occupied by an old woman and her
pig. His lordship naked if sho hnd any
thing to cat.
“God bless yonr honor, snro thero’B
praties and eggs nt yonr service,” was
tho reply; and whilo tho old woman,
without further ado, commenced wash
ing tho potatoes and putting them in a
pot, his lordship told her ho would re
turn in half an hour. When he did so,
tho old woman hnd prepared him a sub
stantial meal of potatoes nnd fresli
egga, which, being hungry, ho heartily
enjoyed. One is naturally in a good
linmor after dinner, however simple it
may have been, nnd Lord Palmerston
drew from tho old woman that she hnd
been many yenrs n widow nnd workod
hard for a livelihood, but feared, wheu
her strength fatlod her, (lint bIio must
go to tho workhouse, but sho fortunately
added:
“If my husband had taken less whisky
and kept the money to buy a cow, I
would have got tho agent to let mo tho
hit of wasto land In tho corner, nnd I'd
been as happy ns tlio qnecn. But
there's no helping it, your honor. It’s
a poor lone woman I'll lie, nnd nobody
will care whether poor Biddy is nlive or
dead."
"Suppose I wero to speak to Lord
Palmerston," suggested hor visitor.
"Oh, faitli, your honor, it’s not tlie
like of you that Lord Palmerston talks
to," said Biddy. "Isn't It himself that
linn dinner with the Queen nnd tells her
what sho has to do? nnd don't ho toll
the House of Lords nnd tho Parliament
and all on ’em what they are to do?
Bare, it’s not yourself that’ll got widiu a
milo of him. Take tlie country all over,
nnd ho is tho biggest man in it; he’s
equal to tho Prince of Wales, ana per
haps heyont him.”
"Well,” replied his lordship, "I nm
going to Loudon, nnd I’ll try to sco him
because yon aro a deserving creature ;
so I shall not give you anything for your
hospitality, but leave Lord Palmerston
to rewnrd yon.”
"Luck go wid yon," said Biddy: “it’s
the good limning gontleman ye are, hut
it's uot Lord Palmerston that you will
see.”
Ills lordship Hhook the old woman hy
tho hand and departed. In a few days
the ngent sent down a lino cow nnd gnvu

Postmaster-General Vilas snid to a re
porter the other day that the present
may be a good opportunity to say that
from some evidences before him ho be-
lievod a notion to ho prevalent aud the
practice to bo general accordingly that
postmasters should Lave allowances for
clerks sufficient to enable tho business
of their offices to bo transacted chiefly
by them, whilo tho postmaster himself,
though tho best paid, should be required
to give no persouul labor beyond a
genorol supervision. This ease illns
trates whut may happen from suoh a
practice if tho excuse of tlie Romo post
master tie true in fuct, nud iu every case
of default tho olerk or assistant wiil bo
mndo the soapogont. It is the intention
of the department to mnko a cureful
scrutiny of these allowances and rednoe
them, when necessary, materially, re
quiring the postmaster to give his per
sonal timo nnd attention to the duties of
tho office nnd nssist in their perform
ance, except in those few larger offioas
where his timo may be neoessnrily re
quired in general supervision. It is be
lieved that by such n course the public
will be much better served and that a
considerable roduotion in the annual ex
penditures of the department may be
realized.

Ilow Wilkes Booth Passed tho Plekcts,
"Did yon ever know how Booth
passed the piokets on the bridge of the
eastern branch of the Potomac that fatal
night?” said an army officer to a re
porter. “I will tell you as it wns told
to me by the old Bontinel who was that
night on duty there. A half hour before
the timo agreed upon by Booth to -meet
Harold, the latter, who had lived in the
neighborhood of the bridgo iill his life,
and who wns across the river in the little
village of Uniontown then, crossed the
bridge to como over on tho Washington
side. ‘Who goes thero ?’ said the sen
tinel on the bridge. ‘A friend, going
for a doctor,’ repliod Harold. ‘Pass,’
said the sentinel. Ho quickly rode up
Eleventh street to Pennsylvania avonne
and Eighth street, and there iu tho dark
ness waited until the thundering lniofs
of Booth’s horse were heard comiug
down Pennsylvania avenue. The two
horsemen then started down Eighth
street toward the bridge on that rido for
their lives, whioh ended iu Garrett’s burn
ing barn in Virginia, a hundred miles
away. ‘Who goes there ?' rang out on
the air from the startled sentry as tlie
two horses came rushing toward the
bridge. Harold was ahead and cried
out, ‘A friend, with the doctor,’ Tho
two men passed over tho bridge, and it
was perhaps several hours aftor the
reveberations ot the horses’ hoofs had
died away heforo the sentry knew who
the men in such a hurry really were,
and when he found it out he was nearly
seared to death for fear he had failed to
do his duty.”

To-day I read her death notice in tho
newspapers. Tlie name under whioh
she died indioatea a marriage Buliflequeut
to her retirement from footlight glare,
imt the husband whom tlie public knew
about was George Fawcett ltowo. He
was old enough to havo been her grand
father, and had an ugliness of face that
ought to have excluded him from the
possibilities of a suitor to a youthful and
lovely actress. Their union was entirely
lawful aud regular, but it was for a
time a secret, and I now reeiill nn event
which, I think, wan tho immediate oause
of the disclosure. Kute was employed
in n spectacular piece nt Booth’H Thea
tre. One evening Rowe stood nt the
rear of tho auditorium, intently watch
ing her, and muttering angrily.*
“What’s tho matter, George?” a by
stander asked.
“Matter enough,” he exclaimed,
“Dout you see her standing thero awk-
wurd as a rustio ? I’ve told her a hun
dred times to keep her heels together
when iu that poBo.”
“Heigho,” rental keil tho friend, “what
hnsiness is it of yours how sho stands?”
“I am her husband,” was tho impul
sive reply.
Thero were half a dozen listeners.
Kate was the admiration of the dudes of
that period, nnd Rowe’a assertion spread
rapidly among them. Some believed it
and some didn’t. By the next day tattle
was started. Then the marriage was
formally published.—LluJJalo Express.

The average wages paid to the 400,-

Tho total number of employees nil
told iu tlie hank is about 1,100, and tho
salary list, including pensions, is about
11300,000 per unuum. There is an ex
celleut library aud rending room in the
bank, to whioh the Directors hnvo liber
ally contributed botli money nud books.
There are also a Widows’ Fund nnd
Guarantee Society, a life insurnnoo
company, a volunteer company, and a
club, or dining room, whero clerk* can
dine cheaply and well, connected with
tlio bank, whioh owo very much of
their prosperity to tho liberality and
kind consideration of tlio Directors.
Tlio Governors nnd Direotors of I he
bank divide between them £14,000 per
annum. Of this tho Governors receive
£1,000 each nud the Directors £500
each. Beyond the status which tneir
position gives them they derive no
benefit from their office, while they tax
them-elves most liberally by their con
tributions toward the welfare of their
clerks. Tho Governor aud Deputy
Governor remain in c ilice for two years
ouly, and this short tenure of office is,
with considerable reason, thought to
be detrimental to the efficient aud con
sistent administration of the functions
of government. Tue great blot of the
system seems to be the want of con
tinuity of policy whioh is engendered.
A Governor, let ns Bay, is an enlightened
financier; for two years hiB policy is
paramount; but his successor then
comes, and perhaps reverses everything,
and the onus ot the change, so far as
the bank customers aro concerned, is
left to be borne by the permanent offi
cers of the bank, who hnvo perhaps
never been consulted in tho matter, or
whose opinions, based on the experience
of many years, may bo ruthlessly ig
nored. The two years system undoubt
edly lias its advantages iu the constant
introduction of uew blood; it also
strengthens the Governors from above
and below the chair. The Direotors be
low tho chair give the Governor u loyal
and hearty support, because they feel
that oue day their owu turn may come,
while those above the chair, having
passed throngh tho ordeal, know the
value of their colleagues’ support. But
tho result of this is nevertheless the in
stitution of a sort of one-man power,
which is woll enongh when there is a
Hubbard, Hodgson, or Crawford in the
chair, or if there is a Baring, Hambro,
Rothschild, or Gosohen to follow, hnt
which may havo its disadvantages.—
