Anecdotes Of dickens

Monaduock, the London correspondent
of the New York Times, has this paragraph
In regard to Dickens in his last letter:
Mr.. Dickens believed in condolences. It
was his ready way of accounting for many
things that seem to others supernatural. or
providential If you told him ever so ex-
traordinary q story of what are called
spiritual manifestations, he would say,
''Oh, q mere coincidence. / have had q
great many such, and would proceed to
tell something really very remarkable IN
his own experience which such u word as
condolences would not very satisfactorily
account for. But he had an awe of the
spiritual world which made him reject the
idea of familiar, and what seemed
to him, irreverent and vulgar intercourse
between the two worlds. Mr.. Edmund
Yates, for many years q fervent admirer of
Mr.. Dickens, contributes largely to the
stock of anecdotes concerning him. He
was, MIR. Yates says, conscientious and
iadefatigable worker, reading articles,
proofs, cutting out and making additions,
thoroughly editing, in fact, whatever pass
ed through his hands and appeared under
his imprimstur. 1t was said that his con-
tributors initiated his pecuriarities but it
was oftener his own interpretations that
gave the semblance of his style. He
worked hard, Mr.. Yates says, on his
own writings, with constant emenda-
tions and interlineations, but 1
learned, from Mr.. Dickens himself,
that he so ordered his work as always to
have plenty of time and freedom for rec
reation. For some months past, Mr.. Dick
ems has lived in London, and has gone
more in society than formerly. Town air,
London dinner parties, and late hours may
not have been good for him. When he was
in Naples, he said to gentleman, who un-
dertook to be his cicerone: "T do not care
much for the fashionable world, but if you
can take me among the people, the lazzar-
oni, shall be delighted"
Never was there more thorough Eng
lishman than Mr.. Dickens, but never has
there been one who has portrayed the most
sorrowful features of English life with
more unsparing hand

The Sa1It Same NarIe.

The 'falls" are q succession of rapids,
with descent of twenty-five feet in three
quarters Of o mile, their whole length.
There is no bold precipice at any point
over which the waters leap, but gradual
flow into the deep channel of the river.
There are several small islands scattered
among the rapids. creating different chan
nels. The waters rush down with great
fury, leaping over huge boulders and
winding around the fairy islands. The
fish are abundant in the rapids. Indians
and half-breeds may be seen at all hours
of the summer day scooping out splendid
white fish. Two of them go out in each
canoe. The canoe will sit in the dashing
stream by the hour, steady as though
held by anchor. They go night out into
the most turbulent parts of the channel
One man sits in the stern of the canoe,
and with his single oar holds her in the
same position for long time, her bow part
ing the waters beautifully. To the specta-
tor ashore it frequently looks very hazard
ous There is quite an art in the manage
ment Of the frail little shell in such q
position. The Indian who handles the net
dips it quickly al the right moment and
locality, and takes in his fish as the noble
fellow is heading coursgeously against the
current. This fishing is laborious. but
very exciting, and frequently pays well. A
score of canoes out in the rapids at a time
when the fish are plenty, produces a scene
of high excitement among spectators on the
shore. who probably have Just landed from
the steamboat on their first trip to Lake
Superior.

THE following anecdote is told of DR..
Cabsrrus, the great homeopathic physi-
clan, who has just died in Paris. Mile.
Julia Barron was out of sorts and sent for
him.
''What is the matter2" asked the Doctor.
"Oh, l hardly know myself" she replied
''my spirits are terribly unequal. Some
times / am greatly elated, and then sud
denly sink into the deepest melancholy"
After moments reflection Cabarrus said
grayely;
81 am afraid there is but one way to
cure you"
"What is it she inquired eagerly.
You must get married" he replied
with mirthful twinkle of the eye, but still
keeping grave face.
"Well, said Mile. Barron, after a little
hesitation, followed by long drawn sigh
of relief, perhaps you are right. Would
you marry me2"
Ma chers," replied Cabsrrus blandly,
the doctor prescribes, but he doesn't
take his own medicine"

AN EXCELLENT MEDICINE.-The leading pa
per OF the northwest, the Evening Wisconsin,
Milwaukee, gets off some very good things,
among the latest Of which we extract the fol-
lowing:
Zone Of the most popular medicines of the
day is Hoohsnd's German Bi.ters, which Is
designed to keep thA stomach and liver in
healthy condition. The Bitters is prepared
without the use OF intoxicating liquors, and
if a person desires to drink liquor under the
fashionable name of Bitters, he had best ap-
ply for something else than Hoohand's.
Druggists tell US that the sale of this aIticle
is large, and is continually on the increase
that all who use it are pleased with its excel.
lent qualities, and that they could not think
Of keeping store withUutis. In cases of de-
bility or prostrstiOn of the system, ,Hoohand's
German Btters will be found an excellent
article, as well IS tor Dyspepsia.
HooFLAND's GEAMAN Tonic is q combina-
ton Of all the ingredients of the Bitters,
with pure Santa Cruz Rum, orange, aniso
&c, making 8 preparation of rare medicll
value. The Tonic is used for the same dil.
eases as the Bitters, in cases where son.e

AL THE book farming in the world could
not make me believe otherwise than that
wheat win turn to cheat when pastured,
which ] have proved by experience to some
extent. l will give also some of my
fathers experience, who is now in his
seventy-fourth year. About the year 184I
he cleared of about four acres of new
ground, and sowed it with clean seed
wheat. About the 1st of May following
there appeared to be as good
prospect as he ever saw, but
few weeks later, on close examina-
ton, there was scarce one head of wheat for
one hundred of cheat. The ground was
covered with heavy growth of straw. And
about the year 1854 or '55 he pulled up a
bunch of wheat and cheat grown together
All came from one kernel There were six
or eight head of wheat and four or five of
chess or cheat This wheat and cheat
could only be separated by splitting the
roots apart, which were as firmly united
(the cheat with the vheat) as ever any
single bunch of wheat was.

A Protestant I'Sebema ,,

The basis of agreement for the debates
in the forthcoming Evangelical Alliance in
New York, will be the same as that of the
original society IN London, adopted in
1916:
1. The divine inspiration, authority and
efficiency of the Holy Scriptures.
2. The right and duty of private judg-
ment in the Interpretation of the Holy
Scriptures.
8. The unity of the Godhead and the
trinity of the persons therein.
4. The utter deprayity of human ma
ture In consequence of the fall
5. The incarnation of the Son of God,
His work of atonement for sins of mankind
and His mediatorial intercession and
reign.
6. The justification of the sinner by
faith alone.
z. The work of the Holy Spirit in the
justification and sanctifcation of the sim
Eer.
s. The Immortality of the soul, the resur-
rectlon of the body. the Judgment of the
world by our Lord Jesus Christ, with
the eternal blessedness of the righteous
and the eternal punishment of the wicked.
9. The divine institution of the Christ
ian ministry, the obligation and perpetuity
of the ordinances of baptism and the Lords
supper.
1t being, however, distinctly declared
that this brief summary is not to be re-
garded In any formal or ecclesiastical sense,
as creed or confession, nor the adoption
of it as involving an assumption of the
night authoritatively to define the limits of
Christian brotherhood, but simply as an
indication of the class of persons whom il
is desirable 70 embrace within the alliance.

CHICAGO, June 20, 1S70.-Such heated term
as we have suffered here for the last ten days
has not been experienced for years. The
long continued drouth has affected wide
extent OF country, and done serious injury to
the growing crops. For two or three days
we have had slight showers in different parts
of the city and vicinity, but none extensive
enough to include the whole city at once OF
heavy enough to do more than merely we
the surface. The indications Of RAIN. to day,
however, are stronger than usual, and gath
ering shower in the West promises a good
deal Of moisture somewhere. 1t is sadly
needed.
THE MONEY MARKET
is still stringent, and though the banks deal
literally with shippers, they discourage the
holding of grain here in large Quantities, by
requiring the holders to put up large mar
gins. There is very large amount OF
WHEAT IN STORE
here, held at prices which make q margin
against the shipper, and the amount Is in
creasng instead Of diminishing. This, with
the amount in store in Milwaukee, consti-a
tutes the chief grain supply of this country;
for there is very little held In New York.
And the policy of the owners seems to be to
hold it TIL European purchasers come to
their terms. Wheat has fallen 13 cents in a
week, and ranges at 1.05@1.06.

SUMNER CARE OF Young TREzs.-A writer
In the Germantown Telegraph makes the
following suggestions on this subject:
Please let me say one word for the young
and tender fruit trees. The season of trans
planting has passed, and many a man has
paid out his perhaps hard earned money
for trees, which he is in hopes m the future
viii either crafty his own palate or mem
bers Of his family, or perchanoe repay with
interest the money and labor he has ex.
pended on them. A goodly share of the
above described persons will be disappoint-
ed in their expectations. AS the writer cf
this has set hundreds of trees sx-
tending through a period of more
than twenty-five years, and always
with the best success and almost no loss.
he has perhaps on this account more often
noticed the failures of others than he 9TH
erwiss would. How many there are that
take pains to buyIand set trees, then, think
ing their part done, wait for Dame Nature
10 do the rest. Now, of all this class
would ask the question, why not do Just 80
by your corn2 Get good seed, fit your
ground, plant it well, then let the sun and
rain mature the crop. Why trouble your
self to cultivate and care for the growing
corn? Perhaps they may say, experience
teaches them that there is more in
cultivating and caring for the crop than
putting it in. Well, just 80 it is with
the young fruit trees. Have you set an
orchard of young trees either last fall or
this spring. Let me tell you that your
work is but half done. Don't wait another
week, if You have not done it, but see to it
that they are mulched Immediately. By
mulching mean the placing from two to
four bushels of coarse manure around each
tree, directly on the surface. Don't let it
quite touch the body of the tree, bat place
it In circle extending from two to three
feet all around the stem. If you have not
the manure, straw, leaves, or even muck
will answer. If your tree has been well
set this will almost insure its life and a
good healthy growth. Without this mulch
it may live, but it is almost as likely to die.
