A Talk with Artemus Ward.
I nic>t, Artemus Ward but once. I
was quite youug at, tho time, and
was acting as city editor of the
Star, published at Schenectady,
N’ew York. AYhiln I was city o.lis
tor of that sheet I mot Artemus. I
was standing on a bridge at the
time, and in talking about news
paper work, was about to say some
thing in regard to my heavy edi
torial responsibility, but Ward
checked me by saying:
What creek is this ?
Creel: ! I exclaimed. Why, this
is. the Erie Canal.
lfow far is it navigable ?
Why, of course, it is navigable
from one end to the other.
Well, solemnly replied Ward,
that beats all the streams that I
ever heard of. By the way, I think
I can make out somo large boats
anchored up the stream there, what
are they, propeller-s or side-wheel
ers ?
1 replied that they were mere ca
nal boats, nd were moved by horse
power.
Ah ! I didn't think the stream
was as shallow as that, said Arte
unis.
As shallow ns what ?
AYhy, you say that fhoso boats
are pulled along by horses. Now,
of course, they must walk along in
front of the boat, mustn't they. j
used to run a stone boat on my la
mented Uncle John's farm, and 1
distinctly remember that the horses
walked along in front.
1 mentally declared that I had
never before met with such igno
rance. I spent some time in ex
plaining the peculiarities of tho big
ditch, and just as I had begun to
think tlml at last. I had set the
stranger right on tlio subject, ho
knock:d my hopes into kindling
wood Jiy remarking:
I anpposo that when the stream
lines up in summer they put. llio
boals on wheels, don't they ?
Then 1 began again and explain
ed every feature in tin canal, train
New Volk to Eric. How atten
tively lie listened to my words. I
can still see that melancholy face,
lit by the sad light of the stars, and
ihose mournful eyes looking inlo
mine so earnestly .and again f heal - ,
as I did then, after I had talked
for nearly half an hour, going fully
into the details of boasting, the
low, pathetic drawl;
Any saw mills on this stream that,
you know of ?‘
Shortly after some gentlemen
came along who seemed to be nc
ipiaintod with my obtuse friend.
I'reKeutly one called him Arlenius,
and then 1 commenced toiclh c'. I
always 11 fleet best when I'm hid
away somewhere, so I went and
hid my elf.—Detroit AVee Press.
A Cruel Joke.
Bolivar went home, and entenng
the mom where his mother was, ex
cl iined:
‘Say, rna, have you heard about
Mi. llraley ?‘
‘Why, no,‘ answered Mrs. Boli
var, with an air of surprise, ‘What
about him? 1
‘This morning lie got up early. 1
‘Ves; go on.'
Wait tiil 1t il you. Ho got up
early, and remarked that he felt
very well,*
‘Go on, 1 exclaimed Mrs Bolivar,
after a short pause,
‘Just wait. He said that he felt
unusually well, While Mrs Braley
was getting breakfast ho went and
shelled a lot of corn for the pigs,
lie came back to the house, still
saying that lie felt well.'
‘ VV hy don’t you go on ?'
‘Wait till I get rnv breath. I‘vo
run from all the way down town
lie sat down to the table and Vte
the heartiest breakfast you ever
saw. When he got urr from the ta
ble he rernarked egain that, he felt
well. Then he turned around, and
just as he g t half way between tno
table and the water bucket, he— 1
‘Dropped dead !* exclaimed Mrs
Bolivar,
‘O, no; turned around and told
his wife that ho felt much batter.'
‘You impudent scoundrel !‘ ex
claimed Mrs Bolivar; and, seizing a
broom, she knocked the boy down.
No one knows where the joke ori
ginated, and the boy does not
cave.

Over Cropping-
Tho Southern Farmer says 1.0
tnan can farm satisfactorily or pro •
litably who plants more than lie can
plant well, and then cultivate well.
This has been one of the curses of
the South, and, strange to say, ‘.he
fascination of planting a .largo ac
crcage seems to he an irresistible
temptation in the face of repeated
failures. All know who have tried
both ways that one acre woU plans
ted and cultivated is not only culti
vated with far less labor and wear
and tear of horeo flesh, hut makes a
larger crop and is saved with less
labor. Yet there are hundreds of
farmers who, after half preparing
their land, plant twice as much as
they ought got hopelessly in tho
grass and weeds, are always in a
hurry, yet never catch up with their
work, and after all make a poor
ciop. This is not sensible and does
not pay. Good cultivation is abso
lutely essential to successful farm
ing, hence every farmer ought to
get the very best tools. They may
cost a little more, but they pay in
the end. Crops should be planted
in ground well prepared and so ear
ly that the farmer is ready for ths
grass before it is ready for him,then
there will be some chance of keep
ing ahead of it. A crop once bad
ly in tho grass never fully recovers
from it. Therefore all tiino and la
bor saving machines, if good, are
paying investments. If tho planter
does tho work of two mini and
horses and enables a farmer to get
through planting early and ready to
cultivate it is a good investment.
Southern farmers cannot afford to
plod along with old fashioned tools,
wlicn others are striding ahead, do
ing twice the work with halt tho la
bor.
The Dollar.
N Y Commercial Bulletin.
The truth is the whole nation is
ahs rhed i" the exclusive pursuit of
the dollar. .So long as that can te
got, at, nobody cares much about
the method of its procurement.
The drift of the undercurrent, the
development of secret social dis
ease, t.ho lndcn growtn of huge so
cial wrongs, tho concealed inroads
of injustice, tho silent accumula
tion of material for a coining na
tional explosion—these are matters
that are left to the earn of a few
speculative observers or pessimists,
whom ‘‘practical men*' tiro not dis
posed to follow; although it gener
ally turns out that tho “practical
meu“ prove to have been blind
while tho more thoughtful observ
ers wero truo seers. What then
can we expect from patriotism for
remedying tho mischievous tenden
cies of tho existing corporate mo
nupolioij? Nothing, Patriotism
is profoundly asleep. W do not
say it, is extinct among us; but,
what amounts almost to the same
thing, it. is hidden ho deep down in
the public heart Unit only tho thun
derclap of a great national misfor
tune could arouse it. These arc
not the times to call forth great
men; they arc the times to belittle
all men. small and great. When all
tho bad elements we are now stor
ing tip have ripened and the great
social upheaval has come, then
from among •ur fifty millions a
great ,savior will be somewhere
forthcoming; but at present that
man sleeps 'in prosperous content
and wo shall not hear from him
until the crisis is fully come.
Wide Mouths.
Wide mouths have come into
fashion for women. This is a
change from the prevailing style of
the past year or two. The proper
mouth of the present season is
worn in a constant but mild smile,
the corners being drawn hack hori
zontally, with the lips left closed.
The expression is one amiable,quiet
satisfaction with all the world -as
though the mind was free from sor
row and the feet free from corns.
Care should bo taken not io broid
en this into an active grin, except
on mirthful occasions; nor should
the lips be compressed. All should
ha in respose. The lips may ho
reddened, if the natural color he
to ) light.
