utes, when some of the students who we're
standing back placed their feet on the
round Of the settee and tipped it partly
over. She looked ~savagely at one Of the
students, who, unfortunately for him, sat
alongside Of her, and who was entirely in-
nOcent Of participating in the affair in any
name The settee was partially tipped
again, when she said
81 win shoot the first man that tips this
seat again, and, also, the first man that in
suits me will forfeit his life :" when not a
word had been said to her by any of the
students. During the time she was saying
these loud words, she placed her hand in
her pocket in a very knowing manner
The students assembled around, when she
exclaimed, 81 am not afraid of four hun
bred students, and l can lick any one of

| come here out of spite, and nothing else,
because | know you don't want me here.
| have seen more than any of you," which
is an uutruth, as she never began to study
medicine until a year ago.
When she had finished this little speech,
the students began to laugh, and also the
student that sat alongside of her. She i'm
mcdiately jumped up and began to strike
this student that sat alongside of her, who,
as | said before, was entirely innocent of
having anything to do with the affair. He
caught her, and held her, and said: "Mad-
am, if you have no respect for yourself,
you ought to have for the gontlemon pres
emit" 81 do respect myself, and the men,
too, and, what's more, | love them" This,
of course, created quite a laugh among the
students. When the beat arrived at
T~wenty-frst street, East River, she got off
and walked up the street with avery dig
nilied () air. The student whom she as
saulted reported The case to MIR. Brennan,
Warden of the Bellevue Hospital, who
will report the case to the Commissioner
of Charities and Corrections, who will act
upon it.

Linn . Around Apple Trees.

We have known some farmers make it
a regular practice for a number of years to
throw causticli lime around their apple trees
IN the spring and summer. We once no.
tioed that q tree standing in the immedi,
ate vicinity of our dwelling, had all at
once put forth with renewed energy and
we were at a loss for some time to define
the cause. On examination we found that
a quantity of lime, that had accideutly
been spilled and rendered worthless be-
coming mixel with the refuse on the sta
BILE floor, had been thrown at the foot aud
around the tree, and to this, as the priuci-
pal cause, we Immediately attributed the
reyiyiscence and renewed Punctuation of
the tree.
Taking the hint from the accident, we
purchased twelve casks of lime, and APP
piled half a bushel to each of the trees in
our orchard, and found that i. produced
immediate beneficial effects. Not the
health of the trees only, but the quality
of fruit was also greatly improved. This
application will be especially beneficial to
soils where there is redundancy of vege-
table matter. We would advise our far
mers, in some places, especially in new
forests lands recently cleared, aud on low
lands, to make trial of this experiment and
see whether it is not deserving of the high
recommendation it secures.

Farmers should make the surroundings
of their homes neat, not only because the
sight of the beautiful has an %enuobling
influence upon all but also for the more
mercenary reason that the neat, orderly,
well-kept farm is worth far more in dol
lars and cents, at selling time, than the
farm where evidence of carelessness and
slovenliness are everywhere seen.

by the brilliancy and vivacity Of his eyes.
There seemed as much life and anima-
ton in them as in twenty ordinary pairs
of eyes, was also struck by his sailor
like aspect, a peculiarity observed by
many other persons. Yet except his
two voyages to America, he had not been
much on the sea, and was not, / believe,
a particularly good sailor. But we all
know his sympathy for seamen, and |
think, without being fanciful, that his
nautical air may, in part be attributed
to early Portsmouth associations.
On this occasion Mr.. Dickens con-
versed with me chiefly about Mr.. Car
lyle's writings, for whose French Revo-
luton he expressed the strongest admira-
ton, as he has practically shown in his
Tale Of Two Cities and he also related
some interesting anecdotes, one of which
may venture to transfer to print.
1t was related to Mr.. Dickens by the
late Edwin NJ. Stanton, the famous Sec
retary of War in the United States Cab

Cabinet council at Washington, and
Mr.. Stanton chanced to enter the Coun-
Gil Chamber some time after the other
members had assembled. As he entered
he heard the President say. well, gen
tlemen, this is only amusement. / think
we had better now turn to business"
During the meeting he noticed that Mr..
Lincoln vas remarkably grave and Sc
date, and that instead of strolling about
the room as was his usual wont, dealing
out droll remarks, he sat bolt upright in
his chair On leaving the council Mr..
Stanton asked one of the other Ministers
why the Presidents manner YVES so pc
culiar, and received the following expla-
nation: When we assembled to-day Mr..
Lincoln said, Gentlemen, dreamed a
strange dream last night for the third
time, and on each occasion something
remarkable has followed upon it. After
the first dream came the battle OF Bull
Run (Mr. Dickens could not remember
the second EVENT., and now the dream
has come again. | dreamed that was

out either oars or sails, when. AT this
moment you, said the Minister, ad-
dressing Mr. Stanton, Opened the door,
whereupon the President checked him
self and said I think we had better turn
to business. SO we have lost the con-
clusion of the dream" And it was lost
forever. The council met at half-past
two, and on the same evening President
Lincoln lay dead, slain by the pistol shot
of Wilkes Booth. ] cannot avoid draw
ing parallel here. We shall never
know the end of Mr.. Lincoln's dream,

mains also an inscrutable mystery,

Death of Young McCraw by Suicide.
From the Louisville Commercial, 6th.1

I
About halfpast twelve o'clock, yester
day, Mr. Hill McCraw, residing with hi.
father, Colonel McCraw, at 2S7 First
street, between Gray and Chestnut, shot
himself with a small revolver through the
head, inhicting mortal wound. Young
McCraw has been in bad health for some
months past, and, at times, unable to at.
tend to his duties. He has been a clerk
in the employ of Sinton & Co., insurance
agents, for some years. 1t is impossible
to imagine why this young man, only
about twenty years of age, committed
such a terrible deed. He came home
somewhat earlier .han usual yesterday,
and laid down on lounge, in the hall,
under the stairway. No one was near
him when the deed was committed. His
relatives heard the shot, and supposed
some boys had thrown harmless torpe-
do in the house; but, on coming into
the hall, they saw the pistol on
the floor, and on the lounge the
body of the young man, with the
blood running down to the floor from
a wound in his head The ball entered
the right ear and traversed the upper
pOTllOu VI tlc DldlAf SOiAiuS Vut dbONc
the left ear He was breathing heavily
an hour after the fatal shot was fired,
and the pool of blood on the matted floor
was hardening. The pistol lay where it
fell, and the aged father sat near by
weeping bitterly. Strangers stood
around, looking pitifully upon the sui
eide of young man whose life, previous
to that, was above reproach. Hishabit
have been of the most unexeeptionable
character. No reason, beyond a morbid,
melancholy state of mind, consequent
upon i'll health, can be assigned for the
committal of a deed that sends soul to
its maker, and plunges into grief and
sadness family and friends. The eoro-
ner held an inquest, and a verdict was
rendered in accordance with the above
facts. .rnrr.
