Daniel Webster was once engaged in q
case in one of the Virginia courts, and the
opposing counsel was William Writ, author
Of the Life Of Patrick Henry" which has
been criticised as brilliant romance.
In the progress of the case, Mr.. Webster
produced highly respectable witne's, whose
testimony (unless disproved or inipeached)
settled the case, and dnifhilated Mr.. Wirt's
client. After getting through the testimony,
he informed Mr.. Writ with significant ex
preston that he was through with the witness,
and he was at his service. Mr.. WHIT rose to
commence his cross examination, but seemed
for a moment quite perplexed how to proceed,
but quickly assumed a Hlnner expressive Of
his incredulity Of the facts ELECTED, and Go6ly
eyeing the witness o moment, he said
"Mr. K, allow me to ask you whether
you have ever read work called Baron
Munchausenl
Before the witness had time to reply, Mr.:
Webster quickly rose to his feet and said
81 beg your pardon, Mr.. Writ, for the
interruption; but there was one question |
forgot to ask the witness, and If you will
allow that favor, promise not to interrupt
you again."
Mr.. Writ, in the blandest manner replied,
Yes, most certainly" when Mr.. Webster
in the most deliberate and solemn manner
said:
"Sir, have you ever read Wirt's Patrick
Henry Z"
The effect was so irresistible that even
the Judge could not control his rigid features.
Mr.. Writ himself joined in the momentary
laugh, and turning 70 Mr.. Webster, said,
"Suppose we submit this case to the jury
without summing ups" which was assented
to, and Mr.. Webster's client won the case.
Livingstone, the African traveller, de.
scribes an ingenious method by which the
Africans obtain water in the desert. The
women tie bunch Of grass to one end Of
q reed, about two feet long, and insert it in
hole dug as deep as the arm will reach,
then ram down the wet sand around It. Ap-
plying the mouth to the free end of the reed,
they form vacuum In the grass beneath, In
which the water collects, and in short time
rises to the mouth. II will be seen that this
simple and truly philosophical and eifectual
method might have been applied In many
cases, in different countries, where water was
greatly needed, to the saving Of life. Ii seems
wonderful that Il should have been habituaIly
practised in Africa probably for centuries.
Il seems worthy Of being particularly noticed,
that it may no longer be neglected from igno.
rance. Il may be highly important TO tFav'
elers in our deserts and prairies, in some
parts Of which water is known TO exist below
the surface Of the earth. .01Gfi. ~

Keeping Potatoes.

Owing to the fact that potatoes generally
command q better price in the spring than
in the fall, many of our farmers would pre-
fer keeping them until then, but for "the
trouble Of keeping them"
The main donger Is Of their rotting; but
il kept dry this is not chargeable to their
keeping, for the rot is in them when they
leave the patch.
Some take great precautions to prevent
them from freezing, and these very precau.
iinns are too often the cause Of their de-
structi"n. ln this, as in many other farming
operations. we should endeavor to follow
nature as much as possible. ! have often
plOwed up potatoes in the spring which have
remlined IN the ground all winter with but
two or three inches Of earth on top Of them,
and ye: they were as good as when fresh
dug.
] will hazard the assertion that freezing
will not injure potatoes, or any other root
or fruit; il is the thawing which does the
damage, and not the freezing, as is generally
supposed. Nor will gradual thawing hurt
them; II Is only when the thawing is too
sudden that they are injured.
II we take two fruzen potatoes, apples, or
other fruit, and place one under the stove and
the other in water little above the freezing
poiut we will find the former will be spoiled,
while the latter is not injured, because with
Il the thai ing is done gradually.
Potatoes may be heaped up In q patch
and covered with two or three inches Of dirt
well packed down, and they will keep in
spite Of dozen Of freezings and thawlngs,
