What Mr*. Matty Did While Her Hus
band was at the Contention.
Motly was shaving when Mrs. Motly
came in from the barn with her
empty milk-bucket and said:
Benjamin, I am tired of my life, so
I am- Some varment.ha killed the
old yaller hen and eat up all her
chickens; the white turkey’s gone off
with her fifteen little ones, and I don’t
expect to see them again; Dazy’s
down with the buckeye; and the
colt’s broke the gobbler a leg. I told
you how it would be if we went to
farming, but you never will take my
advice.
Never mind, Nancy, said Motly,
maybe it won’t always be so. If a
certain man’s nominated at Cincin
nati, he’s purty sure to be elected,
and if I do ray biggest for him, I'm
purty sure to get the postofHce. I’ve
been as good os told so by them that
ought to know.
O lor! exclaimed Mrs. Motly, won’t
that be awful nice; then we can live
in town, and I can have a hired girl lo
do my work, and Angeline Sophia
can have a planer, and Johnny can
learn to be a doctor or a lawyer or
something.
Yes, said Motly; now, Nancy.be
sure to put a dean shirt and some
collars into my valise to-night, for I
must be off to Cincinnati to-morrow
morning. I want to be on the ground
to watch them New York bummers,
for vigilance is the price of liberty.
So Motly went on his way rejoicing,
and Mrs. Motly, who never reads the
newspapers, and was too much de
lights with the new prospect to
dream of failure, went on making
her preparations to live in town.
In due course of time Motly came
home looking jaded and depressed;
but his wife was too busy to notice
his looks, and not a word was said
that night about the action of the
convention. Next morning when
they went to the barn to milk the
cows Motly asked, looking about the
stalls for something:
Why, where’s Sultan?
I sold him, replied Mrs. Motly very
ooolly.
I’m no in humor for joking, Nancy;
where is the horse?
I sold him, I told you wonst, re
peated Mrs. Motly. I know’d we
wouldn’t need him in town, and
thought maybe we wouldn’t get an
other chance to sell him, and, then I
wanted the money to buy some
things.
Oh, groaned Motly, trying to sup
press the indignation that made his
race ghastly. Who did you sell him
to? Maybe I can buy him back?
No, you can’t, ’cau'sa the man ’at
fot him was going West., said Mrs.
totly, and he’s there afore now, I
guess.
How much did he give you for the
horse? asked Motly, sitting down on
a half-bushel and resting his head
on his hand.
He said the times was hard and
he’d give mo $l6O for him, and not
another cent, andif I didn’t take
that I could keep the horse, and I
jest took it, it’s a pile of money these
times.
What! A hundred and fifty dollars!
Why, he was the best horse in the
country. I have been offered SSOO for
him.
Yes, I know it, and I told the man
so, but he said that was good times
and he wouldn’t give a cent more.
And now, Benjamin, don’t ask me
for the money, ’cause I haven’t got
it.
Haven’t got it! Is the woman cra
zy.l
No; I laid it out for a nice dress to
wear in town. You didn’t expect me
to do without one line dress; did
you? and the wife of a postmaster,
and a-livlng among them town big
bugs.
Nancy,do you mean to say that you
paid a hundred and fifty dollars for a
dress? inquired Motly.
I do, Benjamin, and it was dirt
cheap at that; and I’ll be obleged to
have a velvet cloak and a bonnet
with a feather in it; but I guess what
we’ll get for the cows and the sheep
’ll pay for them; and I wont git ’em
till we go to town, for fear the fash
ion ’ll change.
Nancy, said Motly. and it seemed
to do him good to say it, we are not
going to live in town.
Notgoin’ to live In town! Benja
min, what do you mean? Didn’t you
tell me with your own lips ’at we
was agoin to move to town and have
the postoffloe; didn’t you now?
No, said Motly; I told you that if a
certain man was nominated at Cin
cinnati he would be pretty sure to be
elected ; |and if he was, my chance
would b£pretty good to git the post
office. Well, that certain man was
not nominated,and he won’t be elect
ed. I shan’t git the postoffice, and
we’ll never go to town to 'live.
Oh lor, oh lor! I’m dying, I’m dy
ing! screamed Mrs. M., falling into
such violent hysterics that it took
the united strength of Motly and
the hired man to get her to the
house.
Motly is disgusted with politics—
indeed, the slightest allusion to the
action of the convention throws him
off his balance; but if anybody wants
to see a mad man let him ask Motly
how much he got for Sultan.
Great Banking Inatltutlnn*.
San Fimncisco Post.]
The paid up capital of the Nevada
Bank, $10,000,000 in gold coin, stands,
with the exception of the Bank of
Commerce of New York, unequaled
by that of any bank in the United
States. The Bank of Commerce has
also a capital of $10,000,000, but it is
In currency. The largest bank in
Canada is the Bank of Montreal,
with a capital of $12,000,000. The
Merchants’ Bank, in the same city,
has a capital of $9,000,000. The fol
lowing is a list of the only banks in
the United States with a capital of
$5,000,000 and upward: Bank of
Commerce, New York, $10,000,000;
Nevada Bank, San Francisco, $lO,-
000,OOo; C. B. R. and Banking Com
pany. Savannah. $7,500,000; Bank of
California, San Francisco, $5,000,000;
Merchants’ Exchange Bank, San
Francisco, $5,000,000; American Ex
change, NewYork. $5,000,000; Fourth
National, New York, $5,000,000. It
will be seen that San Francisco now
stands on a par with New York as
a great banking centre, and the in
dications are that in time the bullion
trade of the world will be controlled
by our city instead of in London, as
heretofore.
How Much Pork Should a Bushel of
Cork Maks? —Mr. Joseph Suliivant says:
“I conclude that nine pounds of pork from
a bushel of corn fed in the ear raw, twelve
pounds from a bushel of raw meal, thir
teen and a half from boiled corn, and six
teen and a half from cooked meal are no
more than a moderate average to be real
ised from a bushel of corn under ordinary
circumstances of weather, with dry and
clean feeding pens.” As the results of bis
experiments he adds: “If I have proved
anything it is that it is possible and com
paratively easy to get 50 per cent, more
from the corn than we now do for all the
millions of bushels fed to hogs in this
country.” All leaks of this kind should
be stopped at once on every farm.

XANTHINE
Never falls to restore Gray Hair to Its original o
our in a few weeks. Pure, harmless* effective
Prepared by XANTHINE CO.. Richmond. V
Bold*by Purcell, Ladd k Co.,Richmond, Va., and
druggists and country merchants. Price $1 per
bottle.
This incomparable preparation for the Ilair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth;eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec'y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine Is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
K. T. BAIRD.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.]
Mossy Creek. Tenn, Aug. 22, 1876.
Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend It.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Bolon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, aud somo of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that wo know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly fcubatancc is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, aud in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the firmer desires to
cultivate.
