REGULARLY SoLD.-Two gentlemen
from New York, one of whom had been
in California nearly year, and the other
Just arrived, were accidentally overheard
in the following conversation at the Sut-
ter House, Sacramento: The new conner
WAS amentng his condition, and his folly
in leaving an abundance at home, and cs-
pcciallv two beautiful daughters who
were Just budding into womanhood-
when he asked the other if he had Il FAM
"Yes, sir, have. I have a wife and
six children in Now York-and l never
saw one of them"
After this the couple sat few moments
in silence, and then the interrogation again
commenced:
"Wero .1y you y; ever blind, sir p
"Did you marry widow, sir ?''
"Mo, sir."
Another lapse of silence.
"Did 1 understand you to say, sir, that
you had wife and six children living in
New York and had never seen ono OF
thcna?"
ayes, sir-T so stated it."
Another and long pause of silence.
Then the interrogation inquired:
"How can it be, sir, that you never saw
one of them ?"
"Why," was the response. "one Of thcm
was born after left"
"oh! ah p add general laugh fol-
lowed.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT CoURr.-This

UNITED STATES DISTRICT CoURT.-This
Court, which has been in session at Green
vile for six weeks, adjourned on Saturday,
14th inst. The presiding Judge, Hon.
Geo. S. Bryan, has gained hosts Of friends
during the recent term. An immense
amount of business has been disposed OF.
The case of the United Safes vs. George
r. Crump, William b. Davidson and
Frank Arnim, charged with violation of
Internal Revenue laws, was the last one
on trial, and occupied the attention Of the
Court some fifteen days. The offence
charged was somewhat complicated invol-
wing the violation of various clauses of the
Internal Reverrae Act; such as distillation
without having paid the special tax; not
keeping books specifying the quantity dis
TILED; distillation of vinegar and whiskey
in the same establishment, &c
From the evidence it appeared that Csp-
tain Arnim was employed by Messrs.
Davidson and Crump to conduct some vim
egar works in Hamburg, near Augusta.
Captain Arnim, it was alleged, distilled
whiskey without complying with the law.
He, however contended that he only recti-
fed some inferior whiskey into good whis-
key. He called it clarifying. He also
said he made low wines out of molasscs
for the purpose of turning it into vinegar,
and that this had been regarded by the in
formers as distiling.
Messrs. Arnim, Davidson and. Crump
were indicted together, although the two
latter endcavored to show that if wfiskey
was made at the vinegar works, it was
without their sanction, and that they new
er knew anything about it. This state
ment was sworn to by Messrs.- Cruanp and
Davidson in their defence. A verdict of
equity was rendered, and the defendants
sentenced to pay fine and costs, in all
amounting to Sl2, 400. or to be imprisoned
for one ycar.

THE AILANTnUs.-Thcrc is . great hue
and cry throughout the West just now
against the Ailanthus; but writer in the
Cincinnati Times thus defends it: "Thc
Ailanthus tree is native of the north

ing no brush on the ground. The wood

farmers must grow wood for fuel and for

Soul ANx1Ery.-Ah if one could go
through all his soul, hall by hall, chamber
by chamber, story by story, and see how
vast the mansion is, how it gets out of re.
pair on every side, and how many vcrmin
are pcrpetualIy seeking to make lodg-
ment III it, he, methinks, might afford to
have as much anxiety for that soul as
housewife has for her house, whose work
begins with every day and never ends J;
and who, with brush and broom, and with
servant following, necessarily searches,
searches, searches. And yet, some shin
gle is off, some paint is gone, some glass
is broken, rats and mice are in the walls
and partitions, here and there are webs
with their victims on them, and dust and
dirt everywhere. You cannot keep even
a house in order; and when that house is
this wondrous house of the soul, with
trooping thought and feelings that no
army ever cqualod for numbers, is there
no occasion for apprehension on account
of that? And every work that man is
called to as u disciple of Christ, is one that
should keep him walked up not by vul-
gar fear, but that salutary apprehension
which gocs by love.

MANuRlNG TnEEs.-Now isa good time
to put some manure round your fruit trees.
The fall and carly spring rains will carry
the soluble elements into fresh soil and
cause them to start with fresh vigor into
early spring and summer. Apple trees
will send out their roots q great distance
for food. We recently cut off roots dis,
tance of forty feet from an apple tree.
Thus single tree may extend its roots
across the diameter of circle two hun
drcd and fifty feet in circumference. We
are inclined to the belief that manure
should not lie placed close to the trunks of
the trees. but at distance of n few feet
from them.-lMuihc Farmer.

How VICTORIA REpnovED FLIRTING

How VICTORIA IsEPROyED A FLIRTING
DAUenTER.-An anecdote illustrating
Victorias 5 admirable good sense and strict
domestic discipline, came to me directly
from one who witnessed the occurrence.
One day, when the queen was present in
her carriage at military review, the
princess royal, then rather a willful glrl
of about thirteen, sitting on the front seat,
seemed disposed to be rather familiar ana
coquettish with some young ofhcerS ol
the escort. Her majesty gave se9erai re.
proving looks, without avail-"wlnKeo at
her, but she wouldn't stay winkcd." AT
length, in flirting her handkerchief over
the side of the carriage, she dropped 1t
too evidently not accidentally. Instantly
two or three young heroes sprang from
their saddles to return it to her fair hand,
but tho awful voice of royalty stayed
them. "Stop, gentlemen" exclaimed the
queen, "leave it just where it lies. Now,
my daughter, get down from the carriage,
aud pick up your handkerchief" There
was no help for it. The royal footman
let down the steps for the little royal
lady, who proceeded to lift from the dust
the pretty piece of cambric and lace She
bushcd a good deal, though she tossed
her head saucily, and she was doubtless
angry enough, but the mortifying lesson
may have nipped in the bud her first i'm
pulse towards coquetry 1t was hard,
but it was wholesome. How many Amerl-
can mothers would be equal to such a
piece of Spartan discipline.

at the Park Theatre, New York, great

near tho orchestra, and was observed to
watch the performance with absorbing

in the Kisses lavished on the "supcs," but
silently and admiringly looked on at the

Richmond also-he saw the onslaught,
and heard the clash of arms, and still did
he preserve his silence, butwhen at length,

SALT1NG STocK@"So far as I Know"
writes retired farmer, but an attentive
reader of our paper, "stock growers are
very generally following in the footstep of
their forefathers, by occasionally giving a
stinted quantity of salt to their stock. In
the Summer they often throw it on the
ground, in the pasture, and being so
starved for salt, the stock will often eat
the ground because of its being impregna-
ted with salt. One of the greatest errors
now practiced by our stock growers, is the
neglect to give their stock the requisite
amount of salt. should as soon think of
stinting my stock with water as salt.
NV mode of sailing tor a number of
years has been to keep sufficient quanti-
ty of salt in trough in my pastures and
yards, so that my stock may have free ac-
cess to it, and eat of it as often as they
wish, and as much as they wish, always
keeping up the supply. think our stock
know better than we do when they want
salt and how much they need They as
we'll know when they want salt rs they
do when they want water, and when they
have eaten all they crave, they will eat no
more. When they have grass i'll the Sum-
mcr they will cat salt every day. Cows
will give more and better milk By having
free access to salt than when deprived OF
lit. A great share of the diseases among
stock, is in consequence of their being
stinted with salt. | would caution not to
give free access to salt at once, but in
crease the quantity by degrees for about
two weeks, otherwise they may be starved
for salt and eat so much as to injure

About Mules.

The Louisville Industrial Gazette" says,
"Few of the farmers of this country are
aware what debt of gratitude they owe
George Washington for the introduction
of mules into general use for farm pur-
poses.
Previous to 1888 there were very few,
and those of such an inferior order as to
prejudice farmers against them as unfit to
compete with horses in work upon the
road or farm. Consequently there were
no jacks, and no disposition toinerease the
stock; but Washington became convinced
that the introduction of mules generally
among Southern planters would prove to
them great blessing, as they arc less La
bic to disease, and longer lived, and work
upon shorter feed, and are much less liable
to be injured than horses, by careless SER
wants.
AS soon as it became known abroad
that Che illustrious Washington desired to
stock his Mount Vernon estate with mules
the King of Spain sent nam jack and two
jennies from the royal stables, and Lafa-
yette sent another jack and jennie from
the island of Malta.
The first was gray color, sixteen
hands high, heavily made and of sluggish
nature. He was named the Royal Gift.
The other was called the Knight of Malta;
he was about as high, but lighter made,
black color, and a little fiery, even to te-
rocity.
The two different sets of animals gave
him the most favorable opportunity Of
making improvements by breeding,
the result Of which was tavorite jack,
which he called Compound, because he
partook of the best points in both of the
original jacks. The General bred his
bloodcd mares to these jacks, even taking
those from his family coach for that pur-
pose, and produced such stubborn mules
that the country was all agog to breed
some of the sort, and they soon became
quite common. This was the origin of
improved mules in the United States.
Though over seventy years ago, there are
now some of the third and fourth genera
tion of the knights OF Malta and Royal gift
to be found in Virginia, and the great
benefits arising from their introduction to
the country are to be seen upon almost
every cultivated acre in the Southern
States. Notwithstanding the enormous
increase of late years, arising from sys-
tematic course of breeding in the Northern
States for the Southern market, mules
were never more valuable thau at present,
or more ready sale at high prices.
