A Coon Under the Crinoline.

H We witnessed an amusing incident on
one of our suburban streets, last Saturday.
A fashionable young lady, got up in the
highest style of the milliners' art, and ar
rayed in all the glory Of ive-dolar-a-yard
silk, twenty dollar bonnet, and three
hundred dollar shawl, was majesticaly
sweeping along in the direction OF the Fair
Ground, WHILE just behind, a little boy was
leading pet coon.
A countrymsn in brown sleuched hat
and hnsey woolsey warmus" came along
followed by yallah dog, whose nose was
scared ,diagonally, transverscly and latter
ally with the scars of many fercely con-
tested battle with members of the raccoon
family. "Tige" no sooner saw the ring
tailed representative Of his ancient enemy
than he made q frantic dive for him, accom-
panied by furious bark. Cooney c,ompre-
honded the situation ut glance, belted In
continently, and sought sanctuary beneath
the ample circumference of the young lady s
crinoline. s,- -...rs. ..'.. ,a
/ The young lady screamed, while the dog
] u ade rapid circles, shutting the air, and
evidently bevildered to know what haG be-
come of the coon. The situation OF the
young lady was critical and embarrassing.
She was afraid to move for fear the coon
would bite, aud the coon declined to leave
his retreat until the dog had retired. FL
pally the Dig was stoned off, the boy drag
eed the coon from his hiding place, and the
young lady went her way with the lively
consciousness of having experienced new
sensation. As for the coon, he was instantly
killed. --' -N"A

THE Words we use.

BE simple, unaffected; be honest in your
speakipg and writing. Never use long
word where short one will do. Call a
spsde not well known ebloDg instrument
of manual Industry; home be bsme, not q
residence; a place place, not locality.
and so of the rest. Where short word
will do, you always lose by using long one.
You lost in clearness, you lost in honest ex,
preston of your meanings; and, in the
estimstiop of all men who are competent TO
Judge, yeu lose in reputation for ability.
The only true way to shine, even in this
false world, is to be modest and unassuming.
Falsehood may be very thick crust, but in
the course of time truth will find place to
break through. Elegance of language may
not be in the power of all ofus, but smplicl,
ty and straight-forwardnes are.
Write much as you would speak speak as
you think. IF with your inferior, speak no
cosrser than usual if your superior. speak
no fner. Be what you say, and, within the
rules Of prudence, say whatyou> are. Avoid
all cddiiy of expression. No one ever was a
gamer BY sipgulsrity Of words, or in
pronunciation. The truly wise man will so
speak that no one will observe hew he
speaks A man may show great knowledge
Of chemistry by carrying about bladders OF
strange gases to breathe, but he will enjoy
better health, and 6nd more time for business,
who lives on common air. Ir r'. ....
When hear person use queer express
sion, or pronounce name in reading differ
emily from his neighbor, the habit always
goes down, minus sign, before it stands on
the side of deficit, not of credit. A void,
likewise, all slang words. There is no
greater nuisance in society than talker OF
slang. 1t is only ft twheu innocent, which
it seldom is) for raw school boys and one
term freshmen to astonish their sisters with.
Talk as sensible men talk use the easiest
words in their commonest meaning. Let
the sense conveyed, not the venicle in which
it is conveyed, be your subject of attention.
Once more, avoidin conversation all singu-
larity of accuracy. One of the bores Of soci.
ETY. is the bore who is always setting you
right; who when you report from the paper
that 10, 900 men fell in some battle, tells you
that it was 9, 999; who when you descri be
your walk as two miles out and back assures
you that it lacked halt furlong OF it.
Truth does not consist in minute accuracy OF
details but in conveying right impression;
and there are vague ways ofspeaking thatare
truer strict fact would be. When the Psalmist
said, Rivers of waters run down miae eyes.
because men keep not thy law" he did not
state the fact, but he stated n truth deeper
than fact and also truer - Dean Afford.

To NGhtary COMMITTEES and the Press:
GENTLEHEN The quota of Ohio, under

ed their exemption by reason, LIST, OF alien

This would not have been the case had
our people done their duty last spring, and
secured a correction of the enrolment lists,
as they were requested to de by the Cover
nor, and by the Provost Marsbal-General.

ciated by our people, and but little, effort
has been made in that direction until It was

Clear up the Front Yard.

A pleasant home should never have
an unpleasant approach. In the gen
eral clearing up in spring, do not for
get to put the front yard 'to rights
We do not advocate anything stiff, for
NAL, or expensive. Straighten up and
repair the fence. Remove everything
from the yard that does not belong
there. Have good walk from the
gate to the front door, not one that is
sunken below the general level and al
ways flooded in rains; but let it be a
little raised so as to be passable in all
weathers. Have some flower borders
by all means, but if there is unfortu-
nately neither time nor taste for these,
have grass and some trees and shrubs,
not set in stiff rows, but dotted here
and there. Then get Virginia creep
er American Woodbine) or wax work
vine from the woods, and run it over
the porch, if there is one, or if not,
run it upon the door. A climbing rose
may be easily obtained and will be.ve-
ry beautiful when in bloom. A small
amount of work and little taste will
make even an humble house look at
tractive and homelike.-Americdn IA.

Early Garden Work.

As soon this month as the frost is
out-of the ground, peas can be sown,
of the extra early and early frameva-
rieties. They should be sown rather
shallow. They are hardy plant, and
will stand some freezing, and are
sometimes seen poking their noses
through the snow quite unharmed.
Caulifiowers should be now transplant
ed in the hotbed, and not day should
be lost. Onions can be set whenever
the ground is fit. In warm borders,
parsnip, horned carrot, long scarlet
radish, celery, cabbage and spinach
seed can be sown about the middle of
the month. Rhubarb, to get supply
at once, should be set out by separa-
ting the roots. So with horse radish;
but little of the crown of the root
should be attached to each piece.
These are perfectly hardy and can be
set out at once.
All the trash in the garden that was
not cleared off last autumn or winter,
and is unfit to convert into manure, in
Guiding the raspberry, blackberry, rose,
shrubbery and grape prunings, should
be gathered up in heaps and on calm
days burned. The rose bushes should
have all the old and dead wood reno
we'd, and the rest considerably short
ened if overgrown. Shrubbery also
should be thinned out where spreading
too much at the bottom, and shorten
ed in, especially where space is yalua-
BILE.
Those who desire the autumn crop,
only, of the Catawissa Raspberry,
should remove all the vines close to
the ground. As soon as the new shoots
are two Or three inches high, good
mulching Of stable-yard manure is ex-
collent. After they reach a foot or
eighteen inches, a mulching of grass,
straw, garden rakings, &c, should be
applied once or twice dun ing the seas
on. Raspberries, blackberries, goose
berries, &c, require loose, rich, moist
soil. and this is the way to provide it.
New asparagus beds can be prepar-
ed now whenever the ground is in or
der. For this purpose roots, one, two
and three years old are generally used.
We however prefer to plant the seed,
which should be covered about two in
ches, and planted from two to three
inches apart, in hills foot apart each
way. Three seeds should be allowed
10 hill, and stuck in triangular
form, thus x Planting the seed in
stead of the roots, will produce better
plants and afford supply of aspara-
gus just as early.-Germantoacn Tele-
