a most ludicrous scene transpired IN
n nlace not a thousand miles from the
ciry of Louisville, one night recently,
which, though little annoying 10 the
parties Immediately concerned, was
vet so innocent and funny that we can
not refrain from giving the general
outlines, snppressing names of course:
Two sprightly and beautiful young
ladies were visiting their cousin, an
other sprightly and beautiful young la
dy, who, like her guests, was of that
happy age which turns everything in
to fun and merriment. If the truth
were told we fear that we would have
TO record the fact that these three
yoang misses were just little bit fast
They were fond of practical jokes, and
were continually playing all sorts OF
mad pranks with each other. All
three occupied a room on the ground
floor, and huddled together in one bed,
Two of the young ladies attended a
party on The night in question, and did
not get home till half past twelve,
As it was late they concluded not to
disturb the household, SO they quietly
epped into their room through the
low open window.
In about half an hour after they had
left for the party young Methodist
minister called at the house where
they were staying, and craved night 5
lodging, which of course was cheertuily
granted. As ministers always have
the best of everything, the old lady
put him to sleep in the best room. and
the young lady, (Fannie,) who had not
gone to the party, was entrusted tC
the duty of sitting up for the absent
ones, and of informing them of the
change of rooms. She took up her
post in the parlor, and as the night
was sultry, sleep overcame her, and
she departed on an excursion to the
land OF dreams.
We will now return to the young la.
dies, who had gone into their room
through the window. By the dim
light Of the moonbeams as they strug-
gled through the curtains, the young
ladies were enabled to descry the out
lines of Fannie (as they supposed en-
sconsed in the middle of the bed They

truth flashed upon them both at once

Planting out strawberry Reds

Straw berry plants can now be set
out at any time 1t is true August is
generally very warm and dry month,
but in case of the absence of rain the
newly planted beds must be watered
every day or two until they become
established
The bed should not be in damp si-
tnation or the soil heavy. Dig deep,
pulverize finely, and apply pretty
heavy dose of good barnyard manure.
Let the divisions be about three and
half feet in width, and as long as
may be desirable. Set the plants not
less than IS inches apart, insert them
in the ground firmly and we'll up to
the crown, and then keep clear of all
grass and weeds.
As to the varieties, we Tould choose
the Triumph, Russell, and Hovey, and
for a fourth the Jucunda. They should
be planted in this wise in making up u
full bed, with half dozen divisions !:
l. Triumph =. Jucunda 3. Hovey !;
+ Russell. In this way fine crop is
assured with Us much certainty as any
thing can be. The last of November
protect the plants with straw the first
wear; after that, if needed. light ma
nure may be substituted as covering.
A half a crop may be expected the
first season. A mulch of straw cut
two or three inches long will keep the
ground moist and cool, which this
berry likes, and smother the weeds.

lawyer.
"You just hold on till the trial IS over;
give k 1.-THE complainant) hi on
the cross-examination, and that other fel-
low he has got to back him up, and
you'll have no trouble about the pay.n
The trial commenced and proved to be
a somewhat protracted and exciting
one. The District Attorney proved that
the money in question was composed Of
two $50 bills on a certain bank, and the
remainder all in $40 bills, all of which
were wrapped up III a piece of silk. The
jury, after listening to the counsel in the
case, and receiving the charge of the
Judge, retired and soon returned with a
verdict of not guilty. The accused, who
was greatly elated with the result of the
trial and effort of his counsel, invited the
latter into one of the vacant jury rooms.
AS soon as they were alone he slapped his
counsel on the shoulder, and exclaimed:
"Free as water, amt II What's the

with ?" said the the lawyer.
"Lend me your knife and Well and
see about that" ..
The lawyer, slightly startled at such
a proposition, rather reluctantly com
piled. The accused Immediately COM
menced ripping and cutting away at the
waistband of his pantaloons, and soon
produced the roll of bills for the stealing
of which he had just been tried, wrapped
up in the identical piece of oil silk des-
cribed by the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion, and throwing it down on the table
before the astonished lawyer, exclaimed:
"There, take your pay out of that l
guess there is enough there to pay you
tolerably we'll"
"Why, you william! you stole that
money after ALL" said the lawyer. s'Do

money ?'' ......
"Stole that money! Why, what are
you talking about Didn't them twelve
men up stairs there just say didn't steal
it? What's the use of your trying to

twelve respectable men have given their
opinion upon the subject? Take your
