pioneer Methodist, who has been sixty
years on the western circuits;
Some years since, Bishop Hamlin
was presiding at an annual conference
where Mr.. Cartwright was a member.
The good Bishop was a very gave
man in his department, and looked
with holy horror upon all Jokes and
laughter, emanating from ministers OF
the gospel. The latter annoyed him,
for he seldom spoke five minutes with
out throwing the whole conference into
uncontrolled mirth. At last the Bishop
determined to reprove brother Cart
wright for fun-making, and just as the
| punster was sitting down amid the
excited laughter which his short speech
had created, Bishop II. arose and ask
ed him TO lead the conference in pray
er. Cartwright did so with apparent
delight, but very soon afterward re-
peated the offence, by raising general
burst of applause. The Bishop, re-
solved on curing the evil, instantly re-
peated his request for brother O. to
pray. A second prayer of considerable
length aud ccmmeDdable fervor follow.

BY this tim, the chairman saw thai

he asked, in a deep, solemn voice.
"Brother Cartwright, are you groaOinS

evidently enjoyed this catechism huge

for five francs per pay, and your meals

cheap-but dollar day for lodging
and for living, pay only for what you
get. But hotel keepers know how to

ously. Five francs fer .roonn--that Is
all; but in addition, one and a-halt
per day for service, one frame also ior

francs for fire. and suppose you wish

the cost of living at a respectable

CatlyIe's Farm.

A Scotch, paper give an accountof a
recent visit to Thomas Oarlyle's Scotch
farm al Oraigenputtock, III Dumfrles-
.shire-a farm which came to the phil
osopher with his wife. The farm house
is plain, two-storied building, sur
rounded with venerable ash trees, whose
branches were filled with swallows. 1t
was here that Emerson came to see the
landlord, and Professor Wilson prom
ised 10 come. Carlyle describes the
place 10 letter 10 Goethe, Of Septem-
ber 25th, 1928. he resided here, for
most part, from 1927 to 1884; and al
though his friends generally boded no
good of his strange, lonely retirement,
| il will be found from the list Of books
published by him in that term that
| it was fruitful one. His
tastes made him very unpopular
with his few neighbors, who
looked upon him as unpocial or crazed.
When the recent visitor Knocked fol
admittance, he found the tenant-farm'
er at home, and had the qualification
OF discovering that he thought much Of
his landlord. He showed letters about
cutting aud AAying trees, &C., from hif
landlord, written in neat hand, wei
panctuated. The smoke of 0arlyle'i
pipe seemed to curl much in the mem
ory of his tenant, whom he has visited
twice during long term OF years, can

AlNeW Usa for the TeIearnph.

A plan has been devised, and is now
being submitted to the public, for the
use of the electric telegraph in an
nouncing the approach Of storms and
tornadoes, aud thus protecting crops
and shipping from their destructive
action. When storm has formed
and begins to travel in any certain di.
rection, the first telegraph station or
stations at county seats and principal
towns, scores or hundreds Of miles
in advance, according to the kind OF
storm or probable distance that
it may travel, always keeping
suitable distance in advance. AT
each county seat and principal town a
cannon 9is TO be kept ready by the Off
cials at the court house or other suita-
BILE place, and as soon as the news is
received Of q coming storm it is to be
fred the very rapid, or slow travelling
storuia, to be indicated by the very
rapid or slow firing of the storm guns.
In large cities, if destructive storm
is approaching, bells may also be rung,
or steam whistles be blown at the same
intervals as the guns, to increase the
warning AS a good-sized cannon can
be heard distinctly from fifteen to
twenty miles in every direction from
the place Of firing, or over space OF
from thirty TO forty miles square,
by firing one at each county
seat and principal town the
formers over the whole coun-
try in harvest time will be warned to
stop cutting, and to get their grain or
hay under cover, or in situation to
shut out the rain; thus saving not only
that por ion which had been cut and
cured previous to the warning, but
that which otherwise would have been
cut during several hours or whole
day, without it The storm signals
will also be of great value to commerce,
especially in severe storms and hurri
canes, by warning vessels to seek some
place of safety, or prepare for the com
ing storm. The Western Union Tele
graph Company, in order to test the
system, will supply kilograms OF ap
preaching storms, whenever any con
siderable number of cities or town
shall make arrangements to FIRE signa
gums, according to the plan proposed.

caverns for storing the pure Juice of the

vineyards make as much rs twenty
thousand gallons a year. while. most
every man who has an acre of ground
has his little vineyard and makes his
own wine. Notwithstanding the large
area of land in Missouri suited TO- the
grape culture, vineyards are held very
high. From 5000 to $1,000 per acre is
paid for these hilly grape lands The
profits are very great from q successful
vintage, and it is no wonder that many
