\ LOGICAL BAGGAGE MAsTER.-The
post of baggage master on railroad trains is
not an enviable one. There is often wide
difference between the Company'sregulatio"s
and the passengers opinion of what articles,
and what amount of them, comes under the
denomination of baggage and this differ
ence of opinion frequently subjects the un'
lucky official of the trunks and band.box de-
partmeut to animated discussions with
certain class of the travelling, public. We
heard lately an anecdote Of "George," the
affable B. NJ. on Captain Cobb's train on the
Virginia and Tennessee road, which is toe
good to be lost:
A passenger presented himself at way
station on the road, with two trunks and q
saddle, for which he requested checks. The
baggage master promptly checked the trunks
but demanded the extra charge of twenty
five cents for the saddle. To this the passen'
ger demurred, and losing his temper, peremp'
torily asked
"Will you check my baggage, sir r.
care you horse ?" quietly asked George
"What do you mean, sirT" exclaimed the
irate traveller.
"You claim to have this saddle checked
as baggage?'
Certaiuly-it is baggage" positivelyr re-
turned the passenger.
"Well," said the impertuable George,
"by the compauy's regulations nothing but
wearing apparel is admitted to be baggage
and if this saddle is your wearing apparel, OF
course you must be "a horse? Now, SIR just
allow me to strap it on your back, and it
shall 60 the end Of the road without any ez
ira charge whatever.
The traveller paid his quarter, and offer
ed George his hat.-Bristol Nc1cs.

DEATH OF DRED SCOTT.

How mournful to tiuk, now the 'possums am ripe,

Will no more catch de 'possum-no more hunt de

But sleep on de hill in the light Of the moon
No more at the huskiug be shuck out de corn,
No more call de hog at the lights early dawn;
No more sing de corn song as he 60 to he wife !;
For he gone, to be long gone, from dc Ills OF dis

Power OF MUs1c.-Some years ago a
tall gauut, knock -kneed, red-headed, cross
eyed, lumix of Hoosier, who was hunter
of the classical Wabash, conceived the idea
of making visit to the home of his pro-
peniture to old Kaintuck. He did so-rant-
ed round amongst the girls some, and was
of course, from his native impudence and
unearthly ugliness, the observed of all ob'
servers. One morning the whole neighbor-
hood was astonished with the news that the
ugly Hoosier had eloped with Mrs. B., an
amiable, good looking woman, wife OF Mr..
B., and mother of half dozen oflittle B's.
For two long years the disconsolate husband
mourned over his untoward bereavement ;
at the end of that period, however, to his
utter astonishment one day, in popped Mrs.
B., looking as bright and rosy as ever. At
ter the first joyful greeting was over, the in
iured B., thus addressed his truant spouse ::
Nancy, how could you take ~ with that
thar onairthly ugly Hoosier, and leave me
and the children all forlorn, as you did?
Well Josh, said Nancy, that THAR ugly
critter from Indirany, was little the best
whistler; used to think you could whistle
some, but never heerd whistlin as is whist
lin, until heard him which took my sense
clean away, aud I follered him off on thatac-
count. \ short time ago, however, he caught
the measles, and they split his whistln for
ever-the charm was broken, and so l con-
cluded to GENE back to you; but o Josh
that Hoosier was the awfullest whistler that
ever puckered !-PaceruiWe Mder.

WAX FIGURES vs.. SHAKESPEARE.

A Snowman, named Ward, recently ao'
dressed the Cleveland Plaindealer quite an
original and forcible essay on the superlorl'
tv of an exhibition of wax figures over the
performance of Shakespeare's plays. Here
it is:
I'm travellin with tent which is better

degree. Sure 1 maintain that this is unter-
nal nonsense. I maintain that wax figures

" Farmers need no longer contend tnat nan'
ure spread on the surface will evaporate or
exhalc during winter, as no law Of nature,
undisturbed or violated, will sustain the doc
trine" By this assertion he has exhibited
lamentable want of knowledge, both as to
what constitutes manure, and of natures
laws. In the preparation of manure, it is our
aim to retain in them their gaseous and vol
atile elements, by protecting them from the
weather, which is no little trouble, and in
fact would be work thrown away, were we
to leave it scattered on the surface of our
lands for whole winter. Carbonic acid and
ammonia are very important elements in
the food of growing plants. The former is
supplied mostly from the air, the green
leaves having the power Of appropriating the
carbon and liberating the oxygen. Ammonia
exists in abundance in well prepared stable
manure, and, in fact, in any decaying organic
matter, as does carbouic acid also. Ammonia
exists in the air, but not in sufficient quanti-
ty for such plants as corn or cotton, the for-
nation of whose roots enable them to take
up water, holding it in solution as we'll as
various salts of soda, potassa, silica, and
lime. Hence manure should on no account
be placed in position favorable for setting
free the ammonia, since the air cannot fur
nish enough for plants. Now to prevent the
escape of ammonia from the manure, it should
by all means be put into the ground as soor
as carried to the field, and in no instance
left scattered on the surface, as eminent
chemists agree that both carbonic acid and
ammonia are decomposed by light. Conse-
quently, when Mr.. T. spreads his manure on
the surface, he exposes it to light and to
the vicissitudes of weather, and instead Of
