A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A correspondent of the Boston Jonrna
writes from Marblehead

A correspondent of the Boston Jonrna
writes from Marblehead;
"The schooner Henry ". Brown, OF
Marblehead, which arrived from the
Banks yesterday, reports the loss Of two
of the hands, under the following cir
cumstances In gale of last Thursday,
while on the home trip, it blew so hard
that it became necessary to take in sail,
In doing SO the main sheet got loose, and
one OF the hands, John McEachraD by
name, sprang to fasten it, AS he caught
the slack of the sheet in his hand the YES.

the sheet tight. snapped young McEach-
ran overheard.
"Another hand named Geo. Ramsdell,
seeing the condition of his shipmate,
caught the rope, and throwing over the
line lost his footing and pitched into the
sea. The agency Of those on board may
be imagined when it is known that the
father Of young McEachrau stood on the
vessels deck and saw his son drowning
before his eyes and he powerless to help
him. Life bouys were thrown to the
men. striking within foot of them, but
owing to the high sea they sank before
they could reach the bouys. Although
dangerous sea was running, the crew
threw out drag and tried every posi-.
bic means to suecor them, but it was
useless. They sank before aid could
reach them.
"As the vessel came up the harbor with
her flag at half mast, Of course quite a
crowd was attracted TO learn the cause.
When the crew landed on the wharf a
brother of young McEachran ran up to his
father crying out: Father, where is
John? Why don't John come? The
father burst out crying, and the lookers-on
turned away with tears in their eyes. The
scene of the desolate father, with tears run.

and heartbroken little boy from the wharf,

AN OIL TORY.

Sam Black, WHO owned snug little
farm, was somewhat startled one day by
an offer of more than double the worth Of
il in grecnbacks.
"Shal you sell the farm, Samuel !?
asked his wife
"Certainly SHALL" said Sam, ''if the
excited individuals don't back out OF
prove to be a couple of escaped lunatics,
as hall suppose them to be-"
After the bargain was made and the
money paid, one of them took Sam and
his wife to the back part of The farm,
where was small excavation in the ground,
filed up by the recent rain.
"See what you've lost and we've gained p
said the exited individual, scooping up
some Of the water in an old tin cup, and
holding it up for inspection.
Sure enough, the oil was half an inch
thick on the top of the water.
Sam was indignant. If he hadn't been
fool, as he said to his wife, anG watched
for indications, he might have died a
millionaire.
Sans wife was bursting with laughter,
but constraining herself, she coaxed her
husband into the house, and told him the
whole story.
You remember when had my cough
last winter and the doctor recommended
cod liver oil, Sam, and you brought home
a whole gallon, because you got it cheap,
and made me promise to take dose three
times day? Well, didn't and it stood
in the closet until | cleaned the house,
when l threw it iuto the hole at the foot
of the garden"
Sam saw the joke, and pocketed the
cream Of it in the shape of a pile of green
backs.
At last accounts Sam was living in
clover, while the hunters we're Industrious
ly boriug-and may be yet, for all We know.

RIO WING WITH ELEPHANTS.

Several years ago Mr. 2. T. Barnum
put an elephant to the plow on a piece Of
land he owned on the line of the New
York and New Haven Rail- DAD, at Bridge
port The duly costumed and turbaned
"Aslatic" who attended the elephant was
sure to be seen busily engaged in plowing
whenever a train passed by, and ere long
all the papers in the country noticed this
new and wonderful feature in agriculture
came from all parts of .be country to see
Barnums elephant plow. Presidents and
secretaries of agricultural societies wrote
to Barnum to know whether the elephant
really was valuable addition to the ani-
mails used for farm labor how much work
he could do how much food he required,
and how much he could draw.
To which Mr.. Barnum invariably re-
piled that the cost of keeping such ar
animal, to say nothing of the original cost
OF from $4,000 to 100000 for an ele>
plant, would preclud the general intro
duction Of elephants upon New England
farms. But then, as to how much an
elephant could draw, why ne calculated
that this elephant, plowing in Bridgeport.
would draw at least 100000 visitors durs
ing the summer to Barnum's Museum in
New York.
And no doubt it did. There never was
a better bit of out door advertising.
But in England they are now manufac-
turing large numbers of elephant plows,
which are sent to India, for there the
animal is made serviceable in this way.
Two mer guide the piow, another man
directs tie an;mel and the elephant
Marches along all day, turning upa ridge
and leaving furrow three feet deep and
four and half feet broad This is deep
and sub>soil plowing with vengeance.

n@s The billiardist Carme, who is now in
New Orleans, places twelve balls in line,
nearly touching each other, across one
end of the table and striking them one by
one in succession. all of them going round
the table twice, so that nearly all of them
are in motion at the same time, running
hither and thither over the table in differ.
ent directions, crossing and re>crossing
each other so swiftly as to bewilder the
eye, and yet not one touches the other, but
each hall swinging round in its own par
particular orbit, like the stars, until at last
all of them nestle lovingly together in one
corner OF the table, so that hat may cover
them all. Another shot Of his is to place
eight balls in similar position as descri-
bed above, and make them move between
twelve bottles on the table without touch
ing either the bottles or each other.

TOO FOND or SUGAR.

The Knoxville Press and Herald relates
the following:
"Onr friend T-likes sweet things
From the lips of a pretty maiden to lump
of sugar, nothing comes amiss to him in
the saccharine line. Espe eclally is ho fond
OF sugar. Sugar in the cane, sugar in his
drinks, or sugar per SC, finds an ardent lover
in T. Living in a picturesque ham
let, not twenty miles from Knoxville, he
often comes to town on business or pleasure
On such occasions he plays havoc with
contectioner's sweet meats, and is mortal
foe to the samplers of sugar in the whole
sale merchants sample rooms. On Satur-
day, friend T, being in town, called at
the store of one of our largest Wholesale
firms. While engaged in the purchase of
line of teas and coffces, he noticed sam
pie ofwhite sugar on sheet of letter paper,
aud thoughtlessly, by force of habit, tasted
it. Before long the sugar had disappeared
A clerk in the employ of the firm, com
ing into the room few minutes afterwards,
noticed the disappearance of the sugar
Aware Of the peccant Of T for sweets,
the clerk at once came to the conclusion
the disappearance of the sugar was to be
aid at the door or rather at the mouth of
the gentleman from the country. Being
well acquainted with T, the clerk con.
ceived joke at HE expense. Calling to
the merchant, who was engaged conversing
with = the clerk exctedly asked him
if he had noticed that rat poison lying
around?
"Rat poison, where is it?''
"Lying about here on piece of paper"
"Uh-what did it look like p said the
now startled T.
"Well, it looked like white sugar. The
fact is, it was white sugar, impregnated with
arsenic acid" quietly answered the clerk.
ooh ah hold me I'm dying! l
thoughtit was sugar, and eat it," shouted
the now thoroughly Frightened sugar eater.
"My gracious, it will kill you! No, it
won't either, you don't drink any water
Rats eat it, and then drink water, aud bust"
maliciously cried the clerk.
The sugar, together with the desire for
drink of water, aided by the heated imag-
ination of poor r, made him think he
was dying with the thirst prodnced by the
poison, and hastily stridirg toward the door,
he shouted hoarsely:
ga doctor-for Gods sake, lead me to
doctor; Pm poisoned"
The clerk hastily ran after him, end catch
ing him before he reached the street,
between bursts of laughter managed to re.
heve the scared T from the terror
which vas fast depriving him of reason.
laughed heartily, too, after awhile,
bnt he don't think enough of that clerk to
spend great deal of money on a present
for him next Christmas

Did you ever notice how the weeds get

as Docks, Thstles and Daude,ions, etc,
from this years seeds have grown into neat
little plants with a rosette of leaves which
lays close to the ground. In this condition
they look very innocent, but just lift one OF
them and see what root it has. With-
out making any show about it, it. has been
laying in an underground store of food, and
as soon as warm weather comes, it will push

KEEPING PoTAToEs-[ti is a bad plan
toplace potatoes against the damp walls Of
a cellar, or to put them in large, deep bins,
where they will be likely to gather mois-
turc. If bins are used, the bottom should
be made of straps, with small spaces left
between. to admit all. Barrels or open
poxes are also good, as well as convenient
vessels, in which to keep potatoes, and
whenever it is necessary to look over and
pick out decayed tubers, it is more easily
done than when large number of bnshels
are placed in one heap or bin. Cellars in
which potatoes are kept should moi be too
light, because it will, az every farmer knows,
make them tuin green, and injure their
flavor and value. .-Hcarti and Home.
