Being thuswise annoyed.

And the candle flies will swim

Every reader of the IIkrald will
notice the conspicuous advertisement
of the Sand Hill Fruit Farm in thiB
issue. Sand Hill Fruit Farm is one of
the most promising of the new indus-
trial enterprises that have sprung up
in and around Albany during the last
few years. Mr. J. M. Tift, the pro-
prletor, was one of the tlrst to take
hold of the idea of growing fruits and
vegetables in this seotion for the Nor
thern markets, and has given special
attention to the culture of grapes.
From the sohool of experience lie lias
learned what varieties of the grape
are best adapted to the soil and oil-
mate of this section, and he now has a
large vineynrd from which several car
loads of luscious grapes were shipped
this season, lie is now prepared to
till orders from bis nursery for one-
year-old vines, and those who want to
plant grapes will do well to consult
his advertisement, which appears in
this issue of tbe Herald only, and

One must go to England to see on;
neglected flowering laurel, dogwood
and spice bush as .flourishing luxuri
ant iu .park and terrace, the orna
ments of high class gardening. We
oan judge little of their capabilities
of beauty from the wild specimens
crowded in swamiis nnd woods. But
sometimes ono oomes on n wild apple
tree on the open hillside or n white
laurel in a favored spot, and their
beauty of outline, their wealth of
blossom, are never to he forgotten.
The loveliest memory of my old
homo is the wild crabapple tree—sot
out from tho forest, the soul of music
transformed to color, in spurred
bough, rich, shining leafage nnd
clouds of blushing pink bud and rosy
blossom. Tho blooming of such trees
is a festival to celebrate, as tbe Jap
anese hold a national feast at tho
flowering of their cherry orchards.
And the wild apple is beautiful in
form, in leaf, in flower and ml fruit
age into November, when its dense,
thorny sprays form picturesque pen
ciling under tho snow and frost nil
winter.
The beauty of enrly northern woods
is the snow of the Juno berry, or
Bhadblow, its quaint native name
noting tho date of its blossom. The
drooping white blossoms, with pinky
tracts, relieved by the Bilvery, downy
green of the unfolding leaves and
the refined coloring, make it evou
finer than tho tinged pink, white and
green of the Japanese hydrangea.—

Wall Turner.
A young Negro man named Wail
Turner, employed at tbe mill of Heath
& Hays, on the Southwestern railroad,
six miles north of tbe oity, was run
over by the Southbound cannonball
train on Saturday night, and will
probably die from his injuries.
It appears that Turner came to town
on tlie 7:40 train, and started to walk
back homo. He overloaded himself
with whisky, and sat down to rest on
the side of the railroad traok. lie
went to sleep, of course, and when the
train came 'along it knocked him off
the traok.
The engineer evidently did not see
Turner, as the train did not stop. The
acoident occurred at Newsom’s quar-
ter, and the injured man had no atten
tion until Sunday morning. A Negro
man whose house was near enough for
him to hear Turner’s cries would not
go to him, and his exouse for his seem'
ing hardness of heart was that he was
afraid be would be suspected of hav
ing something to do with the aooident
or tragedy, and would have to “go to
court.”
Tho Injured man was carried to
where he lived at Heath & Hays’ mill
on Sunday morning, nnd Dr. Hilptnnn
was summond to attend him. llis in
juries are such that there'appears to
be very little chance for his recovery.

A Trngctlr Durlna n Performnce In
There have been so many accidents
in the various fencing schools, owing
to the breaking of foils, that your
renders may be interested to hear of a
tragedy of that cliaraoter to which I
was a witness one evening last week,
says a Paris letter. The scene of the
mishap was in one of the tents at the
Foire de Neuilly, where a very clever
troupe of performing dogs are nightly
drawing large crowds. The two star
performers were a couple of poodles
named Blanco and Dasli, and the most
attractive portion of the programme
was assuredly the duel in which each
of them, arrayed in a shirt and a pair
of trousers, with a foil tied to his right
forepaw, parried and thrust in the
most energetic fashion. Each of the
principals had a couple of seconds,
poodles like themselves, but arrayed
in long, black frock coats, high Bilk
hats and trousers turned up at the
bottom, while another solemn-looking
white poodle with a big pair of spec
tacles on his nose, squatted gravely on
his haunches beside an open case of
surgical instruments. The fencing
bad scarcely begun on the evening
when I was there when suddenly one
of the foils broke just at the very mo
ment Dash was lunging forward, and
the broken foil penetrated Blanco’s
breast up to the very lillt. The pro
ceedings were brought to an imme.
diate close, the wounded animal ex
piring a few momenta afterward,
while licking the hands of the impres-
sario, who took advantage of the sen
timents of regret and pity awakened
in our breasts by the spectacle to take
up a collection, presumably for the
widow and children of tbe dead duel
ist, poor Dash, the unwilling slayer of
Blanco, meanwhile filling the tent
with lugubrious howls of sorrow at the
death of his fellow aotor.

It is a notorious fact that the aver
age aroat—he of William fame—Is 1
species of the .cloven-footed animal
that can masticate and seemingly
digest anything from a pound of but
ter to a keg of ten-penny nails—such
as old shoes, paper boxes, old oyster
cans and an occasional feast on an
iron hoop.
It was one of these animals, accord
ing to Truth, that passed by a drug;
store some time ago and proceeded to
devour a large number of sponges that
had been placed on the sidewalk for
exhibition, owing to their enormous
size. It was a grand feast for tbe
goat, but ills amaciated form did not
seem to be improved to any great ex
tent in consequence of the repast.
But there was something in the na
ture of an innovation to be opened up
to this redoubtable but not over par
ticular Epicure. Reaving tbe drug
store the goat began to experience
morbid craving for something to dam
pen liis whiskers, and he had not pro
ceeded far before he came in oontaot
with a large water trough. And be
imbibed as Bacchus never dreamed of,
totally unmindful of his impending
fate.
Now, here is where this story should
end, but, for the benefit of those wbo
have become interested In this highly
tragical narrative, It needs be stated

Tha Work of n Convict.
Daniel Titus, a convict in tlio Mon
tana penitentiary at Deer Lodge, hns
sent to a Kansas City attorney a cane
fashioned by himself during his idle
hours which is a marvel of artistic
work. The stick is a light, straight
piece of beeoliwood. A gold head or
naments the top, but this is discount
ed by tho remarkable wood carving.
Convict Titus, with his penknife, has
carved upon the slender stick faith
ful representations of the faces of
every American president from
Washington to Harrison.
Directly below the ornamental gold
headpiece the convict carved the
American eagle and the motto of the
United States, "E Pluribus Unum
A shield with the bars and star* in
tho center, on excellent likeness of
the Father of His Country is next,
and then follow tho faces of all the
presidents. The stick was evidently
taken when green. The outer bark
was polished and cut away to the
sapwood. Tliis was cut and carved
in thousands of delicnto hairlines,
and then the wood was cut away,
leaving each face on a raised surface.
The work is as delicately done ob the
finest pen and ink work, and that
Convict Titus is an artist ns well as a
genius is attested by the faithful
representations.—Kansas City Star.
A Self PoiiMied Bride.
At a recent wedding in Washing
ton the brido showed more than the
usual lack of trepidation. The church
was filled with a brilliant company,
and from? the moment of her en
trance she knew herself to he the cy
nosure of every eye, but she went
through the ceremony as if being
married were an everyday occur
rence to be regarded with indiffer
ence if not with positive disdain,
The climax was reached when, lean
ing on her husband's arm, she passed
through the doorway leading to the
vestibule.
Just insido the door stood a group
of friends—young women who had
arrived too late to ho accommodated
with seats beyond the ribbon. Paus
ing on the threshold, knowing full
well that every eye in the church
was bent upon her, the brido deliber
ately leaned toward her friends and
whispered loud enough to be heard
by the bystanders, “I’ll chaperon you
girls next season.”—Kate E. Thomas
