Mrs. Mason was veryufEaBle“aniff1aEter listening to the story complete, said that was the way she heard it except that the Boe-street girl’s neck was on ly scratched. The girls’ names? She really did not know. Mrs. •Wirt had told her about it. If the reporter would call on Mrs. Wirt he could get everything he wanted. She was a;personnl friend of both the girk. The reporter called on Mrs. Wirt. That lady confirmed the sto ry in.the main, but said it was not quite accurate, according to her understanding of. The Maplestreet girl was awakened by some one pulling her hail, and rose up just in.time to see a man climb out of her window. Her hair was not cot. •The Roe-street girl’s hair was not. cut either, but when the man struck at it with a knife he scratched her neck. Mrs. Williams, who had told her, could tell the reporter the names of the girls who had such narrow escapes. On the way to see Mrs. Williams the reporter stopped at Jackson’s grocery store. “I never heard of the case at all,” declared Mr. Jack- son, much interested. “Who were the girls?” “That’s what I’d like to know,” answered the reporter, resuming his search. Mrs. WiUiams had heard the story from the hired girl of Mrs. Thomas, who knew the girls. Thece were some slight errors in the reporter’s version of the story, she said. The girls did not live on Maple und Boe streets. She had forgotten where Mrs. Thomas had said they lived. Bo- laud, the druggist declared to the reporter, who stopped in on his way to see Mrs. Thomas, that he had Dover heard of the case, and besides, he happened to know there were no girls living on Boe street. Well! well! bnt.this is the fun niest thing I ever heard in my life!” declared Mrs. Thomas, after listening to the reporter’s story. “I fail to see any superlative amoupt of humor in’it,” remarked the reporter, with an inward de sire to commit murder. “Why, it’s so funny to think how snch a ridiculous story got started. 15 I suppose my Bridget must have heard me reading in the News about those girls up in De troit.” Senator Stewart 4 dag gold by j Probably the most curious green daylight and read law' by firelight, j house in the world is -supported at says a correspondent of the Globe-1 Washington by the ‘United States Democrat. .

The young w'oman in this instance lived on Boe street, and jnst as she was about to enter a grocery store, near corner of Boe and West streets, a man leaped from a dark shadow,- seized-her hair, and, with a fiendish flourish of.a. gleaming knife, cut it off close to her head. Uttering a loud scream, .the. girl fled, and when people came to the rescue it was found the knife had cut a deep gash across her ,neck,making a-hor rible and bloody wound.

AjDakota correspondent of the Country Gentleman gives this method of measuring land," as fol lows:" -Having charge of over 4,000 acres of land, of which about two- fiftbs are under plow, I am neces sarily obliged each year to do con siderable measuring for the differ ent cultivators which are changing more or less annually. I have a large scrap memoran dum book which I always take with me when starting out to measure. My’buggy wheel measures exactly 12J feet in circumference. I tie a white rag to the outer end of a spoke, so I can readily count the wheel’s revolutions, driving slowly where the ground is rongh,. and on a trot where the ground is smooth. When another party is interested in my measuring, I .-take him 11 and let him do the counting out loud while I drive as straight as possible. I Usually go through the middleof a piece of ground each way: If the land has irregular sides I make it, or measure it, in two or three parcel’s. After get ting the number of wheel revolu tions I note them down as I finish each distance immediately on a rough sketch of a diagram, put right on aieafiin the scrap book, with date- Then I come home and make the calculations by reducing ■ the I2f feet to rods, which is quick ly and correctly done by mulBply- ingthe whole number , of wheel revolutions in each distance by 25, He was the legal adviser and ex ecutive officer of the Vigilants, Senator Stewart never hanged a man, but'he saved several when he thought tbe Vigilants were too has ty in their action. One day while riding his law circuit, in 185? or 1854, Stewart approached a mining camp where preparations were being made for an execution. As he dismounted in front of the hotel, with his law library in a pair of saddle-bags thrown across' his arm, he saw a crowd away off. The signs were plain enough*to his practiced eye: In front of the hotel a‘little bit of a Texan des perado named Jack Watson was standing. He had come out to the mines-with Jack Hayes’ party. He wouldn’t weigh more than 120 pounds, but he was all grit. There was a look of disgust upon his face. He was gazing down the road to ward the mob. Stewart inquired what the trouble was about- Wat son said the man to be hanged was a stranger, an Englishman, who had come into camp and had stop ped there all night. Some money had been stoien, and the stranger wasjto'be liapged for it. The Texan expressed tbe opinion that the stranger was not guilty. Stewart remarked that somebody ought to interfere if an innocent man was’about io-be exe cuted. In a flash the Texan’s manner changed. He drew his hands from, bis pockets, threw his right hand upon the hilt of his revolver, and, giving Stewart a penetrating look, exclaimed: “Da’st you?” Stewart mildly replied that he dared, and without another word, Stewart, who has the longest pair of legs in the United States Sen ate, was striding down the road. Little Watson was beside him, and going on a trot. They went into the crowd and pushed their way to the front, where the noose was be ing put in place. “Here, boys,” said Stewarf, “this man may be innocent. Let’s see about it.” Without any delay Judge Lynch’s conrt was: convened. The witnesses were put on the stand. In fifteen minutes the young law yer bad shown a flaw in the case. One of the first questions he asked was whether all ofthose who had slept in tbe hotel the night of the theft still remained in camp. . The witnesses said no. One man had left camp on a mule in the morning. “That man is the thief,” said Stewart. A force immediately started in pursuit. The missing man was overtaken. Part of the stolen money was found on him. He was brought back and hanged. The j Englishman was turned loose. datious. Prof. Calloway, who has charge of this department, upon receiving a leaf or a twig exhibit ing morbid symptoms, sets at work to discover what sort of fuDgus is responsible for the mischief. Southern Cultivator. A very common leakage is the waste of time. We can safely call this the greatest one for the two following reasons: first," it has of ten been said that time is so valu- ble and precious that bat one sec- ond' is given us at a time, and this is invariably taken away before an other is given; --secondly and not least, time can never be recalled. Many spend half or more of their days of seed time and Harvest in idleness, and then after a time are heard complaing because their in dustrious and frugal neighbor has plenty and to spare, while they are Savannah Sews. Demorest’s Monthly. Mr. Chauncey F. Black, of: There are people wbo may be Pennsylvania, in an interesting ar- ; termed successful visitors. They tide iu the NSw York World, ar- i are not always the most agreeable gues that it would be for the best j talkers, or the best informed per- interest of the Democratic party j sons, but they are possessed of a to select the next speaker of con- species of social instinct, an adap- gress from the northern represeu- sentatives. The point he makes is this: The chairmen of nearly all the important committees and the other prominent places on the leading committees will necessari ly have to go to southern men-, for their long service,and are best fit ted for them, because their expe rience has been greater than that in abject want. Idleness is said I of the northern representatives. to be the parent of evil sayings that are usually heard among this class of people. They -seldom if ever reform, but continually mani fest that curious disposition to wards the prudent and industrious that makes the path of each more and more divergant till the one on the roud to success loses sight of Nearly all disorders of plants the other in his downward course are caused by parasites, of which there are 50,000 known kinds, and it is not easy to tell off hand, in any given case, just which ono is the destroyer. Often this must be determined by a resort to the germ incubator. Suppose the professor has re ceived a leaf affected by some mys terious disease burning it brown. His experienced eye at once de tects the presence ot a fungus. He breaks off a bit of the leaf, and chops it up in distilled water. When the water is. filled with the germs he. takes a drop and lets it fall into a tube which already con tains a small quantity of gelatinous substaucss called “agar,”, derived from a Japanese fish. This sub stance has previously been rid of all germs by boiling, and the tube io ujw lighily corked u. again to prevent the ingress of other germs. The fungus germs find this agar most nutritions food, and at once begin to feed and multiply. If there is only one to begin with, -it soon divides into two; and sq on until itmay be within a few hoars there are billions. To be certain that these fnngi caused the disease of the plant in question, tho professor fishes a few of them out oh the end of a plati num needle, and rubs them on a healthy leaf of the same sort in his green house, [f the disease is re produced in the plant thus inocu lated, he has found the enemy. That is the first important step; it only remains to discover something that will kill the parasite without injury to the infected plant. Within .the four years daring which Professor Galloway has been in charge of this department of vegetable psthology, much has been done. Twelve of the fifty kinds of dangerous fungi that at tack the grape have been treated with success, and a cure has been discovered for the fire-rot, which turns the limbs of pear trees black aud dead so quickly. The germ of the potato rot, too, has been iden tified, and means found of fighting it cheaply and effectively. The same may be said of more than a dozen other vegetable diseases. The wheat crop of the faT west is the largest in its history. Wash ington’s crop is estimated at 16,- 000,000 bushels. The railroads are unable to move the crop, and the farmers are making lond com plaints. -Much or the crop, it is said, has not been marked. True Sympathy.

Nearly a hundred years ago a Yankee captain kidc nppecl a strolling troop of musicians on the shore of the Bay of Naples and brought t’-en o. this country. From this handful of Italians the band was developed. The de scendants of these stolen Italians are now among the wealthiest peo ple of Washington.

These times of injustice at the hands of the favored few and against the toiling millions, the farmer will have to double his energy or live upon hatf allowance. At any rate the amount of comfort and plenty that the farmer may have laid up for a rainy day, or for sickness, or for old age, is largely to be meas ured by the right use of time. Not only does'industry lay the founda- tion of wealth, ease and comfort, hut it makes victuals taste good, and any ordinary chair feel good when the day’s toil is over. The bed, likewise, seems softer, when in reality it is all the outgrowth of time rightly .spent. Another serious “leak” is extrav agance, by baying that we are in reality unable to buy, or buying more of a kind or quality than prudence and economy would alike give sanction to. And by pursu ing this manuer of business sooner or later your outlay will become equal, if not greater, than your in come, and nothing will be laid by for old age or to draw upon when failures and calamities fall upon us, as is quite often the case. Next to and somewhat kindred to extravagance is that kind of leakage which grows out of the use of luxuries of any and every kind. Among the more blighting and most to; be dreaded of these is the habitual use ot beverages and narcotics, which does not satisfy hunger, nor enter into the bill of shelter and raiment, bnt rather tends to deplete tbe pocket-book and to deaden one or more of the five senses,^and permanently in jure the great nervous centre. Another class of leakage would come under the head of negligence. This has blighted the prospects and destroyed the calculations of many. If one’s neglects equal his income, success will Dever crown his efforts. If they equal half his income twice the period will be required to acquire a given fortune than in their total absence; so guard well against uegligence if you wish to fill up the measure of a successful farmer. The western senators seem con fident of their ability to pass a free silver coinage bill at this session. This, sort of talk seriously alarms the President, it is snidJbecouse,in his opinion, if a free coinage bill were to be passed his chances for renomination would be grpatly less ened. If he should sign such a bill tbe east would be against him, and if he should veto such a bill the west would be down on him. He is so disturbed by the shadow of free silver that he can hardly sleep. The fear that he hasn’t any chance for a renomination, whether a free silver coinage bill is passed or not, does not seem to have entered tnto his calculations. -Would-it be wise, he asks, under the circumstances to put a south ern man in the speaker’s Chair? If the speaker and the chairmen of committees were southern men, would not that fact be made an is sue by the republicans in the cam paign of 1892, and would it not be an issue that could be used in the north with telling effect against the democrats? Mr, Black seems to admit the best material for speaker is to be found among the southern democrats, but he thinks that it would-be good policy for the southern democrats not “to urge that fact in the selection of aspeak T er, since the chairmanship of the principal committees IsPill necessa rily have to be given to southern men. Mr. Black thinks that Mr. Wil son, of West Virginia, would make a satisfactory speaker. His state belongs to the west, rather than than the south, and he took no part in the civiL war. He is a very able man, and is popular. There is, of course, considerable force in what Mr. BJpck says. But, after all, is it not better to fill the places of responsibility with those best qualified for them? If Mr. Crisp, for instance, is the best man for speaker, would not the whole country respect the democratic majority more for electing him to that position than for passing him by for a less capable northern man, simply for policy’s sake? The ma jority of people have a greater re gard for straightforward dealing than for a course of procedure dic tated by policy. They are never deceived by themchemes of politi cians intended to influence their coarse of action. r Flie Pulpit and tbe Stajre. Bev. F. M.

The greatest kindness I can do my many thousand friends is to urge Secretary Windom expressed to a Senator his opinion of the prop osition of Senator Stanford to lend money to the farmers at 2 per cent, upon their lands. Secretary Windonf gravely infromed his call er that he favored Mr. Stanford’s proposition if he could add three amendments to it. The first amend ment was that the loans should be extended to all classes of property. There is no reason, he said", why a special class of property should be favored. Tbe second would be to lend money to men who had” brains but no property. His third amend ment was to lend simply upon the title of American citizenship to men who-are so unfortunate as to possess neither brains nor proper ty With these three amendments Mr. Windom, with a cheerful smile said, the proposition ; would un doubtedly be hailed with great out bursts offpopnlar approval.

H. L. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga., .writes: “For two years my wife was a great sufferer. Skillful phy sicians did her non good.

Such a woman—for of course women, men seldom paying visits—finds out immediately just what is expected of her in any house which she enters, and—does it. If she lias any preferences about the hours of rising, or re tiring, or walking, or doing any thing else, she never allows them to be seen, but appears to be doing by choice the very things which she finds that her entertainers wish her to do. Her opinions are those of her hosts/ her habits are theirs, ' her taste coincides with theirs. This is not always a matter of cal culation; there are some persons so jelly-like m their constitutions that they naturally fit into any mold, and of this sort are the peo ple who spend their lives in visit ing. Without following their ex ample to the length of sacrificing rectitude and a proper spirit of in dependence, we may easily put ourselves and our opinions in the background for a visit of reasona ble length. A lack of conforming, on the part of a gnest, to the habits of a house in which he sojourns gener ally results.from selfishness, not necessarily of the aggressive sort, but of. the inert kind, which may be just as annoying. “Sitting Bull,” said a western man, “was one of the shrewdest and most wily Indians that ever lived. He had every Indian prej udice to contend against in his early life. He was not a chief,but a medicine man. He was not a • fighter, but by his natural ability and indomitable will he gradually overcame great chiefs and out stripped them in the race' for tri bal superiority, - In the end he became the indisputable leader of his people, but he was always re garded as a usurper by less fortu nate chiefs. He had many ene mies among them, aud it is doubt ful if any of the msre powerful chiefs of the Sioux will grieve much over the sudden and tragic end of the famous old rascal, for he was a rascal of the most treach erous and cruel stamp.” A portable telephone aparatus, which can be carried on a train and attached anywhere to a telegraph wire iD two or three minutes, has. been in use on the Austrian state railroads for four 3 r ears.
