WonderfuIEscaps.

The Fremont, Ohio, Journal says that
in that place, on the 24th ult, boy
named Daily, about thirteen years old
went to bathe in the fume of Donns 4
Co.'S mill, and wss drawn down by the
suckers into the mill wheel. The mil.
lers noticed that the wheel was OBJ
structed, and the speed lessened, and
after few moments spent in trying to
find out the cause, looked out of the
window and saw the boys clothing on
timbers of the fume. Shutting off the
power instantly, they ran down to the
basement and there discovered the
boy in one of the buckets of the wheel.
They rescued him from the perilous
position, and carried him up stairs.
He was insensible, and at the time sup
posed to be breathing his last breath.
but recovered consciousness shortly.
He was terribly bruised about the head
and face, chest and legs, but strange to
say. no bones were broken. The wheel
reyolves at the rate of min ETY. revo.u-
tions a minute, and the boy must have
been in the bucket from two to three
minutes. We learn that he Is getting
well.

saving Timothy Seed.

Timothy designed for seed should be
allowed to staId until fully ripe before
gathering, and then cut in the morning
or evening while a little moist with
dew, to prevent loss by shelling. In
places where the cradle cannot be
handy used, cut with the sickle; new
er use the scythe if it is possible to get
along without il.
The grass should be bound in as large
bundle as can be easily handled, and
bound tight, for the purpose of saving
all the seed. Large shesves give pro-
lection TO a greater number of heads
than small ones, and light bands hold
the seed that falls into the center.
Set the bundles up, two by two, and
when all moisture is dried out and the
heads "strip" easily, draw to the barn
in a tight boxed wagon, and thresh
Immediately. Run the seed slowly
through the tanning mill, and then
through fine wire sieve, holding it
high in a light breeze so that all of the
chaffy matter will be blown away, leav.

Shade for Bees.

We are persuaded that shade is an
advantage to bees. We have seen the
best success where hives wereset among
trees. not dense, but scattered sufficient
ly however to form a telerahle shade,
enough to break the strong rays of the
sun; and it stands in reason the ex-
treme of heat is avoided. There is
also not that invitation to fy early
when the sit surrounding the hive is
cold, and snow perhaps lies on the
ground.
1t is in this way that bees in the for
est are situated-not in. the densest
shade, but in the tops of trees where
there is light, air, and sufficient warmth
without great heat. The direct heat
of the sun striking the hive is our
doing, not the bees and we do not
blame them when they show 4 dispo-
sition to leave such place and 90 to
the woods. Another confirmation that
shade is favorable to bees is the fact
that they do best in temperate lati-
tude. say 400-Er.

PropaEatIng Roses.

It is now time (Juiy and August 10
sprout roses for cuttings. The monthly
bloomers add 50 much to the beauty of the
garden, and are 50 expensive st the nur-
series, that il Is an object Of small means
to procure cuttings and spFout them. If
one have two or three varieties, he can
very easily multiply them 10 any extent
by httle care.
To insure success, the bottom heat of
bed should be 10 or 15 degrees higher than
the atmosphere to which the tops are ex-
posed; the former varying from 90 TO 65,
ana the latter about so degrees, will be
found suitable for roses and soft-Wood
plants.
This can be shaded in the suns rays in
the South and West, there by obviating
the necessity of shading during the heat
of the day, and exposing the cuttings to
the uniform and sufficient amount of light,
besides the nsore easily insuring low sur
face temperature. If, before placing the
sand in the bed, covering Of sod is laid
On with the grass side down, it will pre-
serve the heat for greater length Of time,
besides preventing an excess from reach
ing the cuttings
In this way, not only roses, but carns-
lions and such plants as may be required
for blooming during during the winter
months, may be rooted with success. In
selecting cuttings for roses. the blind
shoots, or those which have not formed
flower buds, will be found to make the
surest cuttings; even small ones, not more
than an inch in length, may be used
Cuttings Of half ripe wood may be used
with success.-Ohio Farmer.

Whn MIII be- fhe G0af

During the late war, a soldier of one
OF the New York regiments. who was
home on furlough, visited New York
City for the first time in his life. Going
up of the by-streets, one night. sf-
ter paying homage to Bacchus during
the day, he fell in with a crowd of color
ed people while on their way to church.
In his state of inebriation, he very na-
turally went with the crowd into the
church, thinking it a theatre, and con-
graduating himself on his getting into
the house without having to pay the
usual fee. and snxiously waiting for
the curtain to rise. The officiating
clergyman arose and said
My brudderin,' in dat las great day
when de trump OBJ de Lord shall blow,
and de sheep shall 60 to de right and
de goats to de left, who wants to - de
goatf"
After q short pause he said again,
raising his voice, "I say l0hO'H Be de gOat?"
A long pause followed, when he said
in a still louder tone, "IOho'Hbe de g01t'"
The soldier supposing the perfor-
nance delayed for q person to repre-
sent a goat in some play exclaimed:
Look here, old fellow, rather than
have this thing play out, PH beSOdt."

sham attack,

The Enquirer seems disposed to dispute
the word of Henry Mack, as to the pre-
tended ''eotton speculation" OF jesse r.
Grant That kind Of tactics viii not WIN
in this community. It will suffice to re-
peat the following statement, made some
time ago, on Mr.. Mack's authority, to put
the matter forever at rest:
jesse Grant did furnish & letter to an
agent of the house Of Meek Brothers & Co.
addressed to General Grant, recommending
that special fsvors be granted HIN, which
was duly presented. The General receiy-
ed the gentleman courteously, and said in
substance as follows: II am always
pleased, sir, to render any proper sssis-
tsnce in my power to my friends but I
am General Of the army Of the United
States Government, and lean not discrimi-
nate between its citizens. I do not know
why father should Erite asking such IA
Vor. 1t can have no influence win me.
The request is improper, as it would give
one advantage over another, and would
lead to that Generalization which it is my
endeavor 70 prevent. The attention Of
the military cannot be diverted from the
work in hand, viz; saving the country.
You can take out 3 permit and trade along
the river, as others are doing, and I shall
be pleased to hear Of your success"

The Pig or Puppy Platform

The following story Sill be appreciated
bp every man who will ansJyze the plat
form Of the Democratic party recently g.
dopted at New York:
Some years ago 3 gentleman lived few
miles from Louisville, KY, who had fine
breed of dogs. A friend living about five
miles from him secured the promise OF 5
pup, from him when old enough 10 be ia
ken from the mother.
When the time came the donor wrote s
letter Of presentation, and causing one Of
his negroes to place the pup in bag, gave
him the letter and ordered him to take the
letter and pup to Nh. The negro
snouldsred the bag aud trudged along un-
III ne came 70 q grocery on the roadside,
about half way to his destination, at the
door OF which sat 8 half dozen young
men who knew the negro and his weak
points. Hailing him they asked him what
he had in his bag and where he was Ia
king it.
The negro unsuspieiOus Of evil, told
all about it, on which they told him to
come in and get drink. Nothing 10th,
he set his bag outside Ofthe door, and went
IN and drank, and whilst some Of the par
ty kept him in conversation inside, others
stole the pup and substituted q pig in the
place of it. After drinking the negro
came out and shouldered his bag. uneOn-
seious of the change. and proceeded to his
destination. Arriving there he sent the
letter to the gentlemen to whom it was
directed, who, glad to receive his present,
gave orders 10 admit the bearer When
piggy appeared, the negro, all astonish-
ment, declared it was just as master sent it.
The gentleman, thinking himself insul-
ted, wrote very indignant letter to the
donor, and ordering the negro to take the
pig back, gave HIM the letter for his mas
ter.
The negro then proceeded on his way
until be came to the grocery, where the
same crowd still stopped. On observing
him they hailed him, to know why he vas
bringing back his pup. The neg-O told
him the reason, and they again asked him
to drink, and while he was doing so they
substituted the pupfor the pig. After drink
ing, the negro went on his way with his
burden and arriving at home, gave his
master the gentleman's letter. The mas
ter was sstonished at its contents, and or
dered the bag to emptied, when, 10 and
behold there wss the pup. The negro,
In amazement cried out ''Fore Gcd mas
ter, he am pig or pup, just as he please ~
Now, let any honest man read the plat
form, and if the pig or pup platform is not
the true name OF il, thep it viii be hard
to fnd one for it.-St. Louis Democrat
