QUITE A SPEcTAcLE.-One of the
handsomest and best dressed gentle
men in tho city is worthy merchant
whose great personal care of himself
and his addiction to fine living has
procured him rotundity which, While
it detracts nothing from his good
looks, utterly conceals from his own
inspection his extremities. The cir.
cumstance was on Friday morning the
occasion of, to him, mortifying ex-
posure, whilst others looked upon it as
an amusing spectacle. Before break.
fast he invariably takes morning
walk, and his urbanity and polite re.
cognition are looked for by early Pc
destrians With pleasure.
Dressing himself, therefore, with
great care, he sailed out. But
strange to say every one he met turn
Cd their heads and laughed, and some
ladies from the gallery of a residence
o,vOr iHe way ran screaming into the
house.
"What did it mean %
At last he mot little boy, whose
immoderato laughter drew from him
tho indignant inquiry
"What do you see about me, YOU
little sconndrel, that every body
laughs at -
2 "Why, Mr.. D., you've forgot to
put on your pants."
Overwhelmed with shame, the old
gentleman hurried homo and eagerly
sought out the mirror. In his haste
he had carefully adjusted his attire,
but had indeed, forgot his pants

The story Of Cinderella is familiar tc
every one, and yet there are few tha,
treasure it up as in any respect true
But it has foundation and reality
that really need no fairy godmother, with
her pumpkin and her rats, to make an
entertaining tale. Itis as follows:
I'm about the year 1880, Frencl,
actor by the name Of Thevenard lived in
Paris. He was rich and talented but he
had no wife, and we may believe he
had mover loved any one, but gave al
his affection to those ideal characters that
he could represent finely on tho stage
One day ms lie was walking leisurely
along the streets Of Paris, he, came upon
a cobbler's stall, and his eye was at
tracted by dainty little shoe which lay
waiting for repairs. His Imagination
began immediately to form the little foot
that must fit such little shoe. Flo ex.
amined it well, but only to admire it
more and moro. He went to the stall
ofthe cobbler again but could learn
nothing with regard to the owner of the
shoe. This only increased his eagerness,
and made him more determined to know
to whom it belonged. Day by day lie
was disappointed, but he was not dis
couraged. AT last the little foot needed
the little shoe, and Thevenard met the
owner a poor girl, whose parents be.
longed to the humblest class. But the
ardent actor thought not Of caste or
family. His heart had already pro-
nounced the little one his wife. Ho mar.
ried the g'rl with no question os what
people would say, and flt 10y enough
in hearing the tread Of the light nimble
feet through his silent rooms, to pay hin,
tor the sacrifice of peoples APPROVAL
This is the true story of Cinderella, and
from which che chld.romance ,sprang. ~

Mobile, and an ex.Confederate soldier,

tors meet annualiyto discuss tho exs
periments and compare observations,
as we'll as to suggest new problems
for solution. The reports of these
experiments, carefully written out,
are published in q periodical devoted
to this interest, and thus are offered
constantly to the agricuIturists of the
country. ( had the pleasure Of visit
ing several of these stations and OF
noticing the ingenuity and scientific
precision with which the experiments
are conducted. Agriculture must
gain greatly in certainty and power
whom the workers at these stations all
have had time to ripen their observa-
tions and systemic their conclusions.
The second measure of which /
spoke, is the establishment of sys.
tenn of itinerating lectures for the
diffusion of agricultural knowledge
among the farmers. I did not learn
how widely the practice yet prevailed,
but in Baden the professors Of the
agricultural school at Weisbaden 70
out through tho villages, and from
school house to school house, giving
instruction to the praotica farmers, in
plain familiar lectures, and it is said
with the happiest results. A double
advantage results from this work
agricultural science Is diffueed among
the people, and the agricultural
schools secure higher place in the
public esteem.
The circumstances of Germany IA
vor the success of agricultural schools.
The general prevalence Of education
gives large number of young men
prepared to enter upon the study OF
the sciences, and the number of we'll
educated man affords the requisite
supply of qualified teachers. In
these two respects no country 80 we'll
compares with Germany as the United
States. In another important poiut
We have great advantage even OF
Germany. There the minute subdi,
visions of the lands oftcn co3signs the
farmer to hopeless poverty and utter
ly forbids the free Introduction of new
methods of culture. Agriculture in
the German States is not the ohiei
employment of the people. But the
extent of our farms and the promi.
nent place which agriculture occupies
among the industries, gives to the
American agricultural college field
such as no European country affords
The Germans, in many respects
moro nearly resemble the American
people than any other nation on the
European continent. Even ENGLAND
is less like the American republic. IN
the care Of the government for the
education of the people, in the alb.
sence of the spirit Of caste, in the pre-.
valence Of free thought, American
and the SUCCESS of the German agri.
cultural colleges affords no slight
ground of hope for the success Of
similar institutions in our own coun
Li,. Ii is true there are notable diff
fc;y.ocs between the two countries
and especially in their agriculture
but the general principles which hav,
been proved true for the one will b,
found true for the other, and thus tn,
German schools may afford US man,

Dinner was spread in the cabin of
that peerless steamer the "New
World" and splendid company
were assembled about the table.
Among the passengers thus preparing
for gastronomia duty was q little
creature Of genius fcp-deeked
daintily as an early butterfly, with
kids Of an irreproaehable whiteness,
"miraoulous" neck tie, and spider
like quizzing glass on his nose. The
delicate animal turned his head affec-
tedly aside with-Waitah !
"Bwring me propwellah of fe-
male whoostah."
"And waitah tell the steward to
wab my plate with wegeta BILE called
an onion, which viii give q delicious
ffAwaw to my dinnah."
While the refined exquisite was
giving his order, jnlly western dro-
yer had listened with open mouth and
protruding eyes. When the diminu-
tive paused he brought his fist upon
the table with force that made
every dish bounce, and then thunder.

The Cuban agents at Washington
are about to publish statement of
the effect Of General Ccspede's procla-
nation regarding the destruction of
the growing cane. Up to this time
the Cuban insurgents have never at
tempted to destroy sugar plantations,
except in the east end of the island, ,
where there are very few. In the
right season, when there was COM
pany of Spanish soldiers en,rcnched
in each Of the sugar works. band of
twenty-five men was sufficient to fire
the cane In half o dozen garrisoned
estates almost within sight of each
other. When dry enough, and be-
fore ready for the mill, the cane-ields
burn like coal oil. Accidental fires
have been known to spread through
nine miles of sugar.oane in three
hours. The burning ordered, long
planned and systematized, will take
place up to within an hours ride of
Havana. Ono hundred thousand
troops could not stop it. When about
one hundred estates are burned, which
will OCCUR the frst week of operations
the incredulous sugar interest will be.
gin to believe, and sugar will Jump up
ten per cent. at time. A glance nt
the memorial Of the Cubans shows -
First, that half the sugar used in the
United States comes from Cuba; se-
oond, that sugar and tobacco give the
United States over $25, 100000 reve-
nue.; third, that the United States
export $ll,00O,00O Of provisions !:
fourth, from $5,000,000 to $7,0OO,-
600 of machinery; fifth, the profits
made in the United States by sugar
refneries. The loss to the United
States 10 reckoned at a high figure, but
is certainly $50,60O,00O or $6O,00O,-
600, and that not for one year, but for
the next and next, and all might have
been avoided BY recognition.
Some months ago an inventor in New

in vain attempts TO force it. The night was dark
