The CoST OF WEEDs.-rhe most cxpcn-
sive crop grown by farmers is weeds. 1t IL not
easy to estimate their cost. but we know that
it amounts to many millions of dollars annu-
ally. If their value is any thing. the farm
er has seldom been able to appreciate it. The
question of weeds becomes every wear more
serious, and their spread more appalling
Some of the best farms of the country have
become infested with weeds as to Weld but
poor returns. If our present system of cul-
ture is to continue. one need expect to
rapidly grasp fortune at farming
The eradication Of weeds. when they once
get possession of the soil, Is somewhat dis
couragIng to the farmer, especially when
neighboring farms are growing weed crops
that furnish ipnumerable seeds, to be waited
by the wind and deposited upon the land.
There is scarcely farmer but full under
stand that large crop of useful plants can
not be expected from ground overrun with
weeds, and vet many pay but slight attention
to subduing these pests. They increase from
year to year. until the land becomes so foul
that this very condition Of things Is
deemed a sort Of excuse to let them take pos
session of the soil. They become formidable
and men dread to make the attack, knowing
that no weak opponent is to be encountered.

A Miracle of Honesty. .

At party one evening, several con-
tested honor of having done the most ex-
traordinary thing; reverend gentleman
was appointed judge of the respective
pretensions.
One produced his tailor's bill with a
receipt attached to it. A buzz went
through the room that this could not be
outdone, when a second proved he had
just arrested his tailor for money lent
him. The palm is his was the cry,
when third put in his claim 1t was
that he had returned two umbrellas. =
The astonished arbiter said he would hear
no more, and was about to award the
prize, when he was stopped by the fourth,
who said
" | have done still more than that"
Impossible!" !" cried the whole COM
pany, " Let us hear"

ty years, and have paid for it every year

The Ocean. Voyage of the Lifc-raft NOnpareiI.

! The Southampton correspondent of the
London Star gives the following particu-
lars of the successful voyage of the little
raft Nonpareil:
T" The American life-raft Nonpareil,
forty-three days from New York, arrived
between five and six o'clock this evening,
and is moored off the dock shore. This
daring adventure has been conducted by
John Mikes, captain, and crew of two,
named George Miller and Jerry Mallene.
She is only twenty four feet long and
twelve and half feet broad. The raft,
which has two masts, consists of three
cylinders, pointed at each end, united
together by canvas connections, having
no real deck, aud is strengthened by
boards slipped under strong iron neck
pieces, the whole kept together by lash
ing. A waterproof cloth, hung over
boom, loosed at each end, somewhat re-
sembling gipsy tent, affords sleeping
accommodation, two at a time; and the
third keeping watch. This is fixed on a
strong locker, in which the provisions
are kept.
"The raft lay-to seven times from stress
of weather, and the last vessel spoken
was the John Chapman, a week since,
from which they we're given fowl, which
is still alive and we'll They have arrived
with thirty gallons of water to spare. =
The captain was poorly two days during
the passage, otherwise all have been in
perfect health, and the men are in good
spirits, their countenances looking healthy
and bronzed by the weather. They had
no chronometer on board, and sailed by
dead reckoning, and corrected their po-
sition by vessels they spoke. There is
smaller raft on deck for use as boat.
g The raft has kept perfectly water
tight all the way, not leak of any sort
having occurred. She is fitted with an
apparatus for filling the tubes with air. =
On the rival of the raft, Mr. J. r. Steb-
bing, the president of the Chamber of
Commerce, went on board, congratulated
the crew OH the success of their daring
enterprise, and rendered them any good
Offices that might be required. The cap
tain landed on his arrival to report to the
United States consul, Captain j. Britton."

A Circus in a Tempest.

A circus exhibited at Dubuque, Ioawa
one evening last week to about seven
hundred people. All went we'll till eight
o'clock, when one Of the richest perform
ances ever witnessed commenced. The
local paper describes it as follows:
At this hour one of the fercest rain
storms that ever wet the earth since the
deluge began. In two minutes the can
vas was saturated, and the rain poured as
freely upon those inside the tent as it did
upon the stones in the street The water
rushed down the Third stHet cutters in
torrents, and poured upon the low ground
occupied by the circus like flood. In
five minutes there were six inches of wa
ter covering the earth there. People
thought such shower would spend it.
self, and waited for it to stop.
In fiften minutes there was at least two
feet of water on the premises Then the
ladies present thought it best to start for
home. And such start! Talk about the
Black Crook And tumbling! This is the
way they did it. a gentleman would
take a lady in his arms and start for the
door. This couple would collide with
other couples; down would fair one
and stern one go in the water amidst
screams of the drowning ones, and yells
of laughter from spectators. The luck
less fallen ones would arise, as black with
mud as water stirred in black muck could
make them. And as to skirts nobody
seemed to care whether skirts were gath
cred as high as their waists, or thrown
over their heads.
Two ladies deliberately took off their
shoes and stockings, and gathering
their garments high" started for land =
They waded and stumbled towards the
door, and the way the cheers went up
from the crowd was stunning; they drown
ed the loud thunder. At one time there
was such a mixture Of tumble-downs in
the water that it was hard to tell who
were women and who were men, save by
an occasional bearded face that appeared
above the floating calico. Nobody seem
ed mad - everybody laughed until his or
her sides ached.
The circus performers added interest to
the scene. just after the rain commenc-
ed they appeared and began ground and
lofty tumbling. The first one landed in
a mud puddle and fell. With loud cheers
the others followed suit. In less time
than We are taking to tell this the water
filled the ring. But the actors needed it
not. They turned hand-springs, somer-
saults, and made cart wheels, and walked
on their hands, or attempted to, in the
little lake, till their spangled tunics, their
flesh colored tights, their hands and faces
were all of one color "a dirty black. =
At each exercise the crowd cheered and
the performers roared.
Amid such sights as these the crowd
made their way through mud and water
to the sidewalks west of Iowa street, bet
ter satisfied with their moneys worth
than any circus crowd ever was before.

The Tin Hines i'm Missouri.

The st. Louis Times gives some ac-
count of the recently reported deposits of
tin in Missouri. Several thousand acres
of land have been entered in Madison and
Iron counties, upon which the owners
hope to find tin lands which have here
tofore been considered as almost worthless
because of their hilly, rocky character, and
their remoteness from river and railroad
communication. These lands have been
entered and purchased by parties respec-
lively from Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago,
Wheeling and Pittsburg, about in the or
der named as to quantity, U. X. Booth,
of Detroit, taking the lead. The St
Louis parties have three Cornwall miners
at work exploring with favorable results.
The " tin fever" has assumed a conta-
gious form, and everybody has the I" at
tack" Farms which could not have been
bought week ago for ten or fiften dol
lars an acre are now eagerly snapped up
at one hundred and three hundred dol
lars per acre; and if the investigation
now being made results satisfactorily some
land we know of could not be purchased
for one thousond dollars per acre. The
Ironton Register says:
Cornwall's glory has departed. The
United States are no longer dependent
upon the old world for their saucepans
for in Southern Missouri there is tin
enough to supply her kitchen for mil
lion years.
"Our people are fairly wild about tin.
One. half the population own tin mines,
and the other half are trying to own some.
Everybody has piece of tin ore in his
pocket, and there is scarcely blacksmith
shop in the country where ladies' and pans
have not been coated with it.
"Our towns are full of jauntily dressed
individuals, who, having made fortunes
in the eastern oil regions and other land
speculations, are here looking after tin.
Blow pipes protrudc from pockets as fre-
qucntly as bowies' do in Arkansas. -
Farmers plow up green colored rock and
unhitch the team, for they have found
tin. Discussions on theological subjects
all merge into tin. Everything is tin
Men drink to tin. Men dream of tin
There has been tin wedding"

For Thee and Mo

There is a tale, which, though idle in
itlelf, the use may be good. A certain
man who would never so to church, when
he heard the saints bell, would say to-
his wife, "Go thou to church and pray-
for thee and me" One night he dream
ed that both he and wife were dead and
that they knocked together at Heavens
gate for entrance. St. Peter (hy the le-
gond) is the porter, and suffered his wife
to enter in, bat kept the husband out an-
swering him, "She has gone, both for
herself and thee. As thy wife went to
church for thee, SO she must SO to Heav-
en- for thee"

Eight Children at a Birth

On the I'd of August, Mrs. Timothy
Brady of Trumbull county, Ohio, gave
birth to eight chilren-three boys and
five girls. They are all living and healthy,
but quite small. Mr.. BIS family is in
creasing fast He was married six years
ago to Munice Mowery, who weighed 273
pounds on the day of her marriage. She
has given birth two pairs of twins and
now eight more, making twelve children
in six years. 1t seems strange, but new
ertheless is true. Mrs. Bradley was a
one of three, her mother and father both
being twins, and her grandmother the
mother of five pairs of twins.-Er.

Very patiently did the helpful daugh-
ter, plod through the long, dull line of
fGuree, leaving the gay worsted work to
lie all evening, though she was in such
haste to finish her scarf. 1t was a reward
enough to see her tired father, who. had
been toiling all day for herself and the
other loved ones, sitting cozily in his easy
chair, enjoining his weekly paper, as it
can be enjoyed in a country home, where
news from the great world beyond comes
seldom, and is eagerly sought for.
The clock struck nine before her task
was over but the hearty ''thank you.

a little pardonable pride.
Nor every one that would be willing if
they were able said Mr. WILDER, which
last was a sad truth How many daugh--
ters might be of use to their fathers in
this many other ways, who never think
OF Tightening care or labor. If asked
to perform some little service, it is done,
at best with reluctant step, and an un-
willing air which robs it of all sunshine
or claim to gratitude.
Girls, help your father i; give him a
cheerful home to rest in when evening
comes and do not worry his life away by
fretting because ne cannot afford you the
luxuries you covet, or consent to your
desires when in his mature judgment they
are neither wise nor prudent, and that of
your own best interests and that of your
family.
Such a home atmosphere tends more
than anything else to produce hard
morose character, which must ever make
old age unlovely and uncomfortable
