AN incident that lately occurred
in the south of France proves that
a horse has b pth intelligence and
feeling. A Ashalf intoxicated wag.

Mormant to Givors. One of his
horses was unable to keep up. 1t
was old, and had served him many
years. The unfeeling man deter
mined to get rid of it. He tasten-
ed it to tree, knocked it on the
head, and left it lying on the
ground. Tire horse recovered af.
ter awhile, got mp, and went to it's
stable, where the WAGNER found
it next morning. He seized a
heavy club and began to beat the
poor animal numerically. An.
other horse in the same stable be-
came excited, broke it's halter,
rushed on the nan threw him
down, and stamped on him, from
the effects of which he died few
days after. Here the horse acted

SMoTHEREn FOR CRYrNe.-A

ed. The man replied that it was
filled with clothes. Officer Kelly
felt of it, and said, "This is not a
sack of clothes; put it down.
Upon this the fellow dropped the
sack On the sidewalk and started
to run, but the officer drew his
pistol and ordered him to stop or
he would shoot. The man then
stopped, and Kelly, on opening
the sack, found the dead body of a
female child in it apparently
about a year old. On Questioning
the Chinaman, he was told that
the parents of the dead child lived
on Sacramento street, and that
having killed her a little while be,

Agricultural Labor in England.

"A board OF commissioners were
lately appointed by the English
Government to inquire into and
report upon the facts connected
with the employment of women
and children in field labor in that
kingdom. Their report, has been
presented, and from it we gather
the following facts. Speaking of
Northumberland, the report says !:
Women are extensively employ.
ed throughout tie whole year, and
their labor is considered essential
for the cultivation Of the laud.--
The work of two women is usually
required for every seventy.five
acres of the light land, and a
larger proportion for that which
is heavier, or farmed on the four
course instead of the five course
system. Their labor consists in
the various operations Of cleaning
the land, picking stones, wedding,
&C.; turnip hoeing, llaymakimg
and harvest work, roofing and
shaving Chat is, clcaning) turnips !;
barn work, with the thrashing and
winnowing machines, filling dung
carts, turning dung heaps, spread
ing dung, and sowing artificial
manure; turnip cutting in the win.
ter for sheep, &c, and occasion.
ally driving carts or narrowing
in some instances forking (pitch,
ing) and loading hay or corn,
though when such is the case two
women are put to the work of one
man. The Northumberland wo.
men who do these kinds of labor
are physically a splendid race
their strength is such that they
can vie with the men in carrying
sacks of corn, and there seems to
be no work in the fields which af-
fects them injuriously, however
hard it may appear. The univer-
sal opinion and feeling is that it
conduces to health.
The dress Of these northcountry
women is admirably adapted for
their work; being made to fit
easily it does not cucumber them,
and being of strong materials, it
defies all wcathers. Generally il
consists of pair of stout koots, q
very short thick wooden petticoat,
warm stockings, a jacket, &c. ;
over all a washing riuafore with
sleeves, (called slip,) which pre-
serves their dress from the dirt
Their faces are protected by a
shade or "ugly of divers coiors.

HteH HEms.--The Scienti Fl G

Ais Wen that Ends Well.

Not a great while ago an Irish
man was employed in village
where he was well known, to dig
a.we)l pro bono publico. The con-
tract was male that lie was to be
paid a certain sum per foot, and
warrant free supply of water
At it he went with a will, and his
daily progress was intensely watch
ed by interested parties. Early
and late he delved away faithfully,
deep down in the earth, full of
confidence in the speedy compile
ton of his labors.
He had reached the depth of
about twenty-five feet, and soon
expected to " strike water" Early
in the morning Pat repaired to the
sceno of his labors, and horrible
to tell, it had caved in, and was
nearly full. He gazed with ruetnl
visage upon the wreck, and
thought Of the additional labor the
accident would cause him. After
a moments reflection he looked
earnestly around, and. saw no one
stirring /; then quickly divesling
himself OF his hat and coat, he
carefully hung them on the wind
lass, and made Il acks tor neigh
boring eminence which overlooked
the village. Here, hid amid the
underground, he quietly awaited
the progress of events. .s
AS the morning wore on, the
Inhabitants began to arouse and
stir about. Several were attract
ed to the well, thinking that as
Pats hat and coat were there, he
was below. Soon the alarm was
raised that the well had caved in
and that Pat was in it. A crowd
collected, and stood Mortified at
the fate of poor Pat. "A briet con-
sultat.on was held, and soon spades
and OF II er implements were
brought to dig out the remains of
the unfortunate man. To work
they went with will--when one
set become wearied with the .un.
usual labor, half dozen ready
hands grasped the implements and
dug Justify. Pat quietly looked
on from his retreat on the emil
nence, while the village stood
around the well and watched with
breathless suspense the work go
bravely on.
As the diggers approached the
bottom, the excitement Of the by
ISLANDERS grew intense, and they
collected as near as safety would
admit, gazing fearfnlly down into
tho well. With great care and
precaution the dirt was taken
away, and when the bottom was
at length reached, no Pat was to
be found. The crowd, before so
anxious, gradually relaxed to a
broad grin, which broke forth in
uproarious merriment when the
veritable Pat walked up with a
smiling countenance and address
ed the crest-fallen diggers, who
now stood weary and soiled with
their labors, "Be jabers, jintle-
men, and It's Patrick Pagan, sure,
that is much obliged to yees Cor
doin' of that little job of work |"
The effect can be better mag.
ined than described, and as the
most active of the young men
skunk off, several low breathed
mutterings broke forth that sound
ed very much like "sold."
Through the kindly aid of his
fellow.citizens, Pat soon finished
his well, and it remains among the
monuments of his genius to this
day.

a young lady at Memphis, hand
and heart they both wished to OBJ

chances would be improved by
getting rid of his rival, and SO he
shot Noe through the head, killing
him instantly. His joy,however.
was sllort-liyed, for on the very
day on which the murder was
committed, he learned that the
young lady in question had dis
carded both him and his victim,
and bestowed her favors upon a
third person. ie thereupon sur
rendered himselfto an officer, and
with the pistol used in staying his
rival, blew his own brains ont
The ball passed through his head

Pencil MakinR.

Nearly one hundred and fifty
years ago, the pencil manpfacture
commenced in England, and inn.
proved in France, was transplant-
ed to the village, OF Stein, near,
Nuremburg, in Bavaria little
more than century since, Gus.
par Faber there began to make
the pencils, which continue to be
made by his descendants, and
bear the family name through the
world. The present John Lothair
faber, great grand son of Casper,
has been the head Of the firm
since 1889, and is not only very
wealthy, but has recently been en-
nobled by the King OF Bavaria
One OF his brothers is associated
with him at Stein; the. youngest
of the three, Eberhard Faber,
represents the firm at New York.
Stein is literally a town of pencil
factories, of which Baron Faber is
the ruler, taking care of the
health, government, education, in,
dustry, thrift, and amusements of
the inh habitants, and always living
in their midst. ALBERT, a French
man, resident in Siberia, having
heard of the gold discoveries in
California, began to examine the
sandy beds OF various rivers flow.
ing into the Arctic Ocean. After
years of costly labor, Albert
found an exhaustless deposit Of
graphite equal to the best ever
taken from Cumberland. With
the consent of the Russian gov.
ernment, ALBERT now supplies
Fabers house, exclusively, with
graphite from the mine in Asiatic
Siberia. Pencils Of this material
were first made bv Baron Faber
in 1861, and today, in every
quarter Of the globe, their superb
ority is conceded by all.
