A VentriIOqaisl's Trick.
The Troy(N. W Times tells IL

The Troy(N. W Times tells this
story:E
"Therc is a certain BARRIERS shop,
which we will not locate, further than
to say that it is within mile or less of
the American House. 1t is kept by n
military proprietor, who shall be like
wise anonymous. One of his tonsorial
corps is ventriloquist and wag; one
of his constant patrons is a democrat
and Water Commissioner. Last
Saturday evening, there was as usual
crowd at the Majors. Razors were
scraping and lather flying as fast as if
the shop was to be closed the next day.
At this .juncture, Commissioner S. en-
tered, and so di a Methodist Minister.
The former sat down to be shaved in
the chair at which the ventriloquist
operating the latter retreated to the
bathroom, out Of sight, but within
hearing OF the tonsorial department.
The Commissioner began to talk poll
tics'-which is very fashionable
amusement just now-and defended
'democ' acy with much vehemence.
The spirit of mischief tempted the ven
triloquist barber to throw his voice in
to the bathing room occupied by the
Methodist minister, and answered the
arguments of the Commissioner with
Union talk. as forcible as the McClel-
lanism Of the outsider. The illusion
was complete-every word seemed to
emanate from the Stats of the thin par
ton which divided the outside 'shavers'
from the inside bather. The contro-
versy grew fast and furious. Every
thrust of the commissioner was hand
somcly retorted by the invisible voice.
Even the customers in the other chairs
were deceived; and as for the minister,
he wondered who was doing all the
talking in tone and with sentiments
that so nearly resembled his own.
Commissioner-"I'll bet you fifty
dollars that Lincoln does not carry New
York State"
Invisible voice.-'I'll take that wa
ger.-Just wait till / pin my collar.
Get your money ready"
Commis sioner-''Hurry up your
dressing; l cant wait all night"
Voice-"Yes am on the last but
ton"
just ut this moment the unsuspect-
ing minister issued like a second Diog-
ines from the seclusion of his tub, and
walked out into the main room. Not
thinking himself an object of interest,
and yet wondering at the stir his ad.
vent created, he gave the mbane Ma
.jor ticket and started towards the
door, "Hold on!'' shouted the Com
missioner, with groon-hacks in hand,
"where's that bet you was going to
take?" "What do you mean sir?" re-
piled the minister, 81 never bet 1t is
against my principles. The issues ..of
the campaign are too important to he
settled by a wager, You are laboring
under some mistake"
$50 he walked out, while the Com
missioner set up a loud laugh at his
imaginary victory. He boosted to all
his friends 'how he had backed down
an abolitionist;' and he was not unde-
cciyed until Monday, when the ventril.
oquist made an open confession"

A Model Farm.

We know of snug little farm of
thirty-four acres ofcultivated land, and
seventeen ofrocky pasture, which yields
a profit much larger than one hundred
and fifty we know of. 1t upholds a
snug little cottage of eight rooms, a
large barn with modern and useful i'm
provements, three acres of splendid or
chard of all valuable fruits, half an acre
of excellent garden; an acre and a half
more devoted to carrots, turnips and
onions the fen ,es are all post and rail,
bushes and weeds are i'm eternal exile,
and the whole place is exceedingly fair
to look upon, and to live on. This man
is getting rich by being thorough in cv-
erything. His hen-housc is perfect, his
hens lay, and no droppings are lost.
His pig stye is well supplied with muck,
and the house slops,run into it. After
taking the first premium he puts about
six acres of corn into pork, which makes
manure; his carrots and turnips he puts
into beet, which makes more manure.
Manure and thorough tillage arc the
grand secrets of all farming--in New
England at least. This man lives well,
no pork diet for him-he eats turkeys,
lambs, and the first of his fruits and
herbs. He dresses well, rides in car
riage, has good pew in church, and
sends his children to the first institu-
tons oflearning. His wife isn't work
ed to death, and has piano in the par
lor. He pays about fifty dollars year
for help-visits his neighbors, and
knows how to fish. No rich uncle ever
left him property-he began life by
owning half his farm, without any build
ing upon it, and FIVE thousand dollars
would not buy his real estate to-day.
This farmer is no myth; we know him,
and more minute statistics might be
given to show that fifty acres is enough;
enough unless man desires to digand
scrub over large farm Of half TILED
acres, and perhaps not bo any better
off in the. end than my easy friend with
a small farm.--[Country Gentleman,

A RagsGatherers Ball.

The Toronto (Canada) Leader d
Thurrday has the following account ol
a scene in that city:
The very unusual entertainment Of a
rag -gatherers' ball came off in this city
on Monday night, at which there could
not have been less than three hundred
ragmen and their wives and sweethearts
and other friends and acquaintance.
The entertainment was given by Mrs.
Ashal, a woman who has made a good
deal of money by the rag business.
Having just built a large brick shop on
Richmond street, a little west of Church
street, on the south side, she determin-
ed to entertain her customers at a grand
ball and supper; and not being very
particular as to whether the company
should be select, she gave general in
vitation TO all the beggars and ragmen
in the city and neighborhood. The
gentry fell in with the idea, and freely
accepted the invitation. A sumptuous
repast was provided in large room on
ground floor, to which the beggars had
free access during the whole evening.
A quadrille band supplied music for the
company in the ballroom up stairs and
'all went merry as a marriage bell
1t is said to have been ludicrous sight
to witness the company in quadrille,
or pairing off in an Irish breakdown
or plantation jig Dancing and gen
eral merriment was kept up fill nearly
four o'clock in the morning, when the
party separated and returned to their
novels and to their business in different
parts of the city, evidently highly pleas
ed with the hospitality of their gene
rous hostess. Every thing was con-
Quoted in the most orderly manner, on
ly the presence of a solitary policeman
having been necessary to keep things
straight.

Gen. Scott on Mr.. LincOln's Inaug.
uratiOn.

The following is taken from the late
ly published "Memoirs of General
Scott" written by himself 'h
The. Inauguration of President Lin
coin was, perhaps, the most critical and
hazardous event with which have ev-
er been connected. In the preceding
two months have received more than
fifty letters, many from points distant
from each other-some earnestly dis
suading me from being present at the
event, and others distinctly threatening
assassination if l dared to protect the
ceremony with a military force. The
election having been entirely regular, /
resolved that the Constitution should
not be overturned by violence If L could
possibly prevent it. Accordingly i
caused to be organized the elite of the
Washington volunteers, and called from
a distance two batteries of horse artille-
nv, with small detachments Of cavalry
and infantry, all regulars.
In concert with the Congressional
Committees of Arrangements, the Pres
ident was escorted to and from the Cap
itol by volunteers-the regulars, with
whomI marched, flanking the move
ment in parallel streets-only l claimed
the place Immediately in front of the
President for the company of sappers
and miners, under Captain Duane, of
the Engineers. To this choice body of
men it was only necessary to say: The
honor of our country is in your hands.
With view to freedom of move
ment, l remained outside of Capitol
square with the light batteries. The
procession returned to the Presidents
in the same order, and happi-
Iy the Government was saved.

a correspondent to Phila lelphia
paper writing from before Richmond,
says: "Thc voting of the 5th United
States Colored troops, who came from
Ohio, was a little amusing, and attract
ed much attention from the Mcclellan
men on the other side of the line. The
supporters of Little Mac were gather
ed together in quite crowd opposite
the place of election on the 5th aud it
is moro than probable they would have
come over and given expression to
their choice had il not been for the pre-
caution of the supporters of Mr.. Lin
coin, in stationing an extensive line of
armed men to prevent their indulging
in any such luxurics. This class of men
here are called Johnnies, but in the
North they are known as Copperheads,
distinction without any difference.
That no votes were cast ut the polls of
the 5th for the little General cannot be
attributed to the absence of his sup
porters. but rather to the armed resist
ance which threatened such fearful con.
sequences should they attempt to vote
their convictions" sn sry

SEPARATION OF SEXES IN CHURCHES.

from scarce pamphlet containing two
curious and very plain-spoken sermons,
"Of luxury, most particularly with res
pcct to apparel, on l Tim. ii, 0, by n
country clergyman. 4to, London, 1896,
p. AZ" And, indeed, 1t is great pity
our churches are not better coptrived
for religious purposes. Both men and
women sit together promisoously;
wherein they have departed frnm the
ancient simplicity, which still remaina
in many Of our churches, where, the
seats being single, the upper ones arc
filed by the men only, and the lower
by the other sex; so that the men 500

FUS AT HoME.-Don't be afraid ofa
little fun at home, good people! Don't
shut up your house lest the sun should
fade your carpets; and your hearts,
lest hearty laugh shake down some Of
the misty old cobwebs there! If you
want to ruin your SONS, let them think
that all mirth and social enjoyment
must BE- left on the threshold swithout,
when they came home at night. When
once a home is regarded as only place
to eat, drink, and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling houses and
reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation some
where if they do not find it at their
hearthstones, it will be sought at other
and perhaps less profitable places. =
Therefore, let the fire burn brightly at
night, and make the homestead delight
fil with all those little arts that parents
so perfet tly understand. Don't reprcss
the buoyant spirits Of your children
half an hour of merrimcnt round the
lamp and freight of q home, hlots ont
tho remembrance of many a care and
annoyance during the day, and the best
safeguard they oan take with them into
the world is the unseen influence Of a
bright little domestic sanctum. qa /.

American Bond, An Cer,..n,-

"Malakof" writes from Paris to the New
York Times, fsll5L~ SIC
During few days run into Germany l
had occasion the other day to 90 into the
Bourse at Frankfort, on-the-Main. What
| saw there did me good, and is worth talk
ing about. Coming from Paris where one
hears little or no sympathy for the Union
cause where American stocks are not known
and where the Government journals teach
the people that the American Government
is on the verge of ruin, it was like sudden
change from darkness into light, to find
ones self in the midst of many hundreds
of bankers and brokers screaming them
selves hoarse over American stocks. in a
place where more American stocks are sold
in one day than of all the European stocks
combined, and where such an interest is fell
in the national cause that the agency of the
Erlangers in the Confederate Loan is
charged against that house as almost a
crime! 1t did one good, too, to know that
Federal bonds were bought in most part by
permanent holders and not by SPECTATORS
by people who pay little attention to the
fluctuations of war, because they have con-
idence in the future of the Union, and find
this the best investment for their sg,rnl,,.,
funds. s''
