A NEW YORK ADVENTURE.

In one of the most splendid houses on
Fifth Avenue, N. Y, lives lady of greaf
wealth and expensive tastes, who is noted
for the splendor of her diamonds. Per-
haps half million dollars invested in
these stones, was kept in safe in her
dressing-room, and the key of the safe
locked in box in private drawer.
On coming up from dinner one day, she
found the key on her dressing-bureau, and
valuable diamonds in old fashioned set.
tings which were heir looms, had been
ste e..
On applying to Mr.. Tiffany, the jewel.
er, for advice, he recommended her to
advertise for the lost diamonds, offering
just as large reward as she felt disposed
to give, and promising no questions should
be asked.
The next morning a note was slipped
under the hall door, saying the jewels
would be delivered in the ladys own
house at such an hour in the afternoon, in
the presence of herself and her husband
only. The reward, by the way, was
100000.
The lady sent for Mr.. Tifanys head
setter of diamonds to be on hand to INSPECT
the stones, lest they should prove imita-
tions. The hour passed, and the whole
evening, but no jewels appeared. The
next morning another note was slid under
the door, say ng it was useless for the lady
to have spectators concealed in the back
parlor, as she had on the previous day,
or to send for judge Of diamonds; the
writer was gentleman, and would return
the real stones.
lie next appointed a place of meeting
on vacant lot near the Cen. Park, where
he would receive the reward at the hands
of single person, and deliver the stones.
Further, the money must contain no mark
ed DIS, and no large ones, which would
excite remark when changed, If she
chose to comply with these terms, she
should have her diamonds; otherwise she
would never see them again, as N. Y. was
growing too hot for the writer, and he
meant to leave. A servant man went to-
tire spot to receive the package of stones
he was met by gentlemanly person whose
face was concealed, and the argain wa.
made. The jewels were all right.

the room while the girl was in the other,
and if it had not been for this hindrance
he would have taken all the diamonds,
and no reward would have tempted him
to bring them back.

FRENCH ANECDOTES writer in sOnce
a Week says:
"Alexandre Dumas the younger came
one day 50 much too late to dinner to-
which he had been invited, that instead
of going at cnce into the dining-room, he
preferred TO await his friend in the draw
iag-room. This apartment he found ten
anted by a parrot on its perch. 'As-tu
dejeune, Jacquot?' began che celebrated
dramatist THAT being the approved man.
ner in France of entering into conversa-
tion with parrot.) Imprudcntiy he FOL-
flowed up his words by trying to take the
bird upon his finger, but Jacquot, not un.
derstanding this advance, bit the finger
through and through Dumas simply
wrung the birds neck, and threw it out of
sight under sofa.
More than twelvemonth after, Dumas
being again guest in the same house the
conversation happened to fall upon the
habit attributed to some animals of hiding
themselves from all eyes to die. Il have
a most striking example of the kind to
relate said Mr.. g., the master of the
house. You remember, all of you, my
poor old Jacquot, don't you? Well, he
was found one day, about year ago, dead
under the sofa in the diuing-room. He
must have got down from his perch and
deliberately retired into concealment for
his last moments. We missed him all at
once, and quite Unexpectedly; and after
two days search, found him at last lying
under the sofa in question.
Dumas did not state his view Of the
case, and to this day the crcdulous French
man believes that he has had under his
own observation most striking example
Of the desire for solitude cyinced by cer-
tain animals On the appreach of dcath.'

HARD Work AND HARD DRIvrNG.--Hor-
ses were designed as beasts of burden, to
relieve mankind from fatiguing drudgery.
1t does not hurt them to work hard, if
they are treated kindly. 1t is not the
hard drawing and pondcrous loads that
wear out horses and make them poor, and
baulky and worthless; but it is the hard
driving, the worry by rough, inhuman
drivers, that uses up more horse flesh, fat
and muscle than all the labor team per-
forms. Consider the ponderous loads that
many teams are required to cart every
day, and several times day, yet they
appear to grow fatter and stronger every
year. They are treated kindly. On the
other hand, other horses, that do not per-
form half the labor, soon grow poor, and
give out, and the next we hear of them
is, they die with the harness on. Hard
work does not kill them; but the worry
ing. fretting, and abuse did the job.
Horses will do all the moving and reap
ing on large farm, thrash the grain,
pitch the hay, turn the grindstone, saw
the wood, and perform almost all the
heavy labor that farmers have been ac-
customed to do, and grow fat, if they are
not worried and jerked and kicked about
as if they we're living football.

DRUNKENNESS AND CRIME-Mr. Haynes
warden of the Massachusetts State Prison,
in his valuable book, recently published,
says that during the eleven years that he
has been connected with the institution,
twenty-onc persons have been imprisoned
for killing their wives, two for killing
their fathers, and one for killing his moth
er. OF these twenty-four, all but one
were not only habitual drunkards, but
actually drunk when they committed the
crime and he also remarks that "these
were not bad men except when the un-
der the influence of liquor and yet, JUS
tice can make no distinction, but holds
him equally guilty who commits crime
under such circumstances as the one who
soberly and with intellect unclouded vio-
lates the law"

1t is the time when birds are calling
Each to his mate, his sweet heart mate,
When airs are sweet with blossoms falling,
And Spring is waxing warm and late;
And care is grown heavy thralling
That keeps me from my fair estate.
For in the old familiar places
Doth Nature list, for me doth list,
And in the woods untrodlen spaces
Are pathways where my feet are missed,
And little starry flower faces
That watch for me to keep tryst.
Sweet valleys that the sky stoops over
So tenderly, so tenderly,
And hill-sides where the whitening clever,
Already tempts the rowing bee,

Remembering charms none else will see.

THE PAPAL SUCCESSION.

lIS lICuillCllSdl SOuuCll, NtllCu ID ~
assemble at Rome in December of the
present year, will be very important
gathering, and the questions which will
then and there be discussed will be of
great interest and significance to the whole
religious world, as well as to the Roman
Catholic church. One of the questions
which is then to come up is in regard to
the election of u successor to Pope Plus
Ninth during the lifetime of the latter
The object of such movement is to OBJ
viate the danger which might result to the
temporal power of the Pope by having
an interregnum of any considerable length
in the Papal Office. The choice and in
auguration of Pope are divided into
three parts, the first of which is the
election by the Cardinals. the Sc
cond is the exaltation, when the pontif-
ical cnair and its occupant are carried to
st. Peters upon mems shoulders, and the
third is the coronation. Only the first
part of this programme, of course, could
be carried out during the lifetime of the
present Pope, but the accomplishment of
this would greatly lessen the complications
that might otherwise arise at the death of
the Pope, and it is understood that the
Pope himself has authorized and sanction
ed this arrangement. If it is a measure
originated or approved by him, there can
be little doubt that the Council will give
it most favorable terms.
The principal purpose of this proposal is
to check the aspirations Of the Italians for
the extension Of italian sovereignty over
the present Italian territory. The tenn
poral power which the Pope exercises is
a source of perpetual annoyance, discom-
fort and irritation to the Italian govern
ment and people, and they have long hop
ed that at the death of Pope Plus they
would be able to include Rome in the
Italian kingdom. They are willing enough
to have the Pope retain his spiritual pow
er and position, but they want to make
Rome the capital of Italy, and to have
the Pope occupy himself with religious
matters rather than with the exercise of
temporal sovereignty. The present Pope
has often and forcibly declared that he
would never willingly yield an iota of the
power which has so long been associated
with the Papal office, and the Italians
have been quietly hoping for the realza-
ton of their aspirations at his death. 1t
seems from this movement that Plus has
been fully alive to the situation of affairs,
and that he means to leave no effort un-
untried to perpetuate at Rome the tempo
raj sovereignty of the occupant of the
Papal chair. This whole matter will have
an important bearing upon European poll
tics, and now that the Papal policy has
been announced, the Italians and those
who sympathize with them in their wishes
to have separation between the temporal
and spiritual power will lose no time in
consolidating their forces and preparing
to combat the purposes of the Vatican
Boston Journal.

admitted, until the sash may be gradually
withdrawn part of the day.
Great care should be exercised in re-
moving and setting out the plants in the
open air. They should not be removed
until the weather is settled warm. Hav-
been started in such sheltered position,
and cared for so tenderly, they are par
tal exotics and need special attention.
They should be moved with as much earth
as possible about the roots and placed in
rich, warm soil, and they will be likely
to grow right on. But if they are care
lcssly set out they will boehecked in their
growth and may be failure.
Without the trouble of making hot
bed, many plants, where the dependence is
not upon the roots for food, such as mel
ons and vines of various kinds, corn, g.,
may be greately advanced by being
started under glass, on pieces of upturned
sod, ami the small pieces removed and
set out without disturbing the roots in the
least. A gain of some weeks may be
made in this way.--Ne,o York Observer.

FARayARD MANURE. = Notwithstanding
the great use made of artificial manures
in Great Britain, the value Of the produce
of the yard is not overlooked. A late
number of one of the best English agri-
cultural journals speaks as follows on the
subject:
"The produce of the farmyard is to ev-
cry farmer the first and the chief assist
ance. The production and use of the farm
yard dung is the foundation Of all success
full farming. A very large proportion of
the manure thus produced is employed for
the root crop. Its employment differs very
widely according to the nature of the soil.
In some cases it is drawn upon the land as
soon as it is made, and plowed into the
soil without delay in other instances it
is heaped in the field until the spring till
ages are well advanced whilst some adopt
the rule Of drawing it fresh from the yard
and putting it in bouts and ridges, ready
for being at once covered up by the ridge
plow, Each system has its advocates, and
there are circumstances under which each
may be preferable" X .''.a la1' z

MULES FOR FARM WoRK.-A CORES
pondent of the " Prairie Farmer" writ
ing from Chattanooga, Tenn, says:
In East Tennessee, Georgia and Ala
banana, pair of good mules, well bro
ken, cannot be purchased for less than
S400. La some cases $500 is paid for
good mule team. Back from the thorough
fares, in the interior counties, they are
doubtless, cheaper. A good pair of horses
can be bought for s400. This shows the
estimation in which mules are held by
people there, for draft work. They are
tough, and will keep in good condition on
feed that would almost starve horses
There can be no doubt about this. The
labor they perform is cheaper labor than
that obtained by horses. 1t costs less
but the mule is not so pleasant, so agree
able beast to have around as the horse.
An important consideration in favor of
the mule is, that he is longer lived than
the horse. He will live longer and serve
his master more years. And this differ
ence is considerable-probally no less
than than twenty-five per cent. He is
seldom lame. He is not commonly affect
ed with spawn or ringbone, Or any other
ailment of his feet or legs. lie not often
has the heaves. He does not SO readily
catch cold. Hc seldom las the bots. I"
1t is doubtful that horses ever die from
that cause, however. The southern far
mers, many of them, consider mule labor
much cheaper than horses labor, even
when they pay a higher price for the mules.
