Mr.. A. called on farmer, and asked
him the price of oats, and was informed
that they were thirty-five cents per
bushel. He agreed to pay forty cents
on condition that he should be permitted
to " tramp" them IN the half bushels. -
To secure the bargain, he paid for twelve
bushels, and the next day took his wagon
and went after them. The farmer filed
the half bushel, after which Mr.. A. got
in and gave most vigorous tramping"
contracting their proportions consider
ably. The farmer thereupon emptied
the oats into the bag, without filing up
the measure. Mr.. A. raved, but it was
no use. The farmer had complied with
his part of the agreement, and, as an evil
dence, told Mr.. A. after he had measured
the oats, he might tramp" them all day.

VALUE OF GAMBLING HOUSE LICENSES.
The Hong Kong gambling-house
licenses were last week sold to resident
Chinese for the modest little sum of
$1S9, 800 gold or SIS, 800 month. Con-
sidering that the licenses last for one
year only, games of chance must be rath-
er popular to make it worth any ones
while to pay such fee. The outgoing
"farmer," as he is technically called, is
said to have Melted only fifty thousand
dollars by his venture last year, and to
have declined bidding this year because
the profits were not large enough The
respectable Chinese of the colony are
very indignant at the action of the
British Government in licensing in
stead of suppressing gambling, and a
petition is being extensively circulated
praying the House Office to forbid the
continuanceof the license system.

Russia Preparing fOr-What +!

A correspondent at Odessa wrote as
follows, Just before the final adjournment
of the London Conference /: A great
movement of staff officers is taking place
between this town and st. Petersburg,
and the Governor himself, NJ. Kotzbue,
has been summoned to the Emperor.
Cannons of the largest calibre are being
transported to Kertch and the principal
ports on the Black Sea, where the pieces
are tried as soon as they arrive. L find
this news, considerably attenuated in
the correspondence of Russian journal
here. According to the local writer, M.
Kotzebue is only gone to present his re-
spects to his august master, and the plac-
ing of guns at Kertch and elsewhere is
only an affair of ordinary service. But
the following circumstance is fully as
significant. Conferences have just been
held at Cettigne for the reorganization OF
the Lontenegrin army, the effective force
of (which is to be doubled. Henceforth the
commanders of the Nohics will be sub.
jected to an examination, and the forces
of the Principally will adopt the regula'
tons of the Russian army Every one
knows that the Prince receives an annua
subvention from the Gar. You vii
doubtless consider that while the Confer
ence of London is still sitting, these fact'
are at least singular.

A STORY comes from neighboring
State that man, whose son, being under
age, married against his will, took
offence thereat and got himself appointed
guardian over him. Then, under law
which permits a guardian to sell the
property of minor to an amount not
exceeding $500, without advertising it,
he obtained permission of Judge of
Probate to sell his sons half interest,
worth $4,000, in his grandfather's es-
tate, and without the boys knowledge
did sell it to Sheriff for the paltry sum
of 1915, and by him it was transferred to
the sons mother at the same price. And
now the boy, thus defrauded of his in
heritance, proposes to see If the Courts
will tolerate the proceeding.

club are in picturesque section OF
PENNSYLVANIA, where the estate covers
over -, 900 acres, in the towns of Bloom
ing Grove, Green, and Porter, in Pike
County. Besides this large property tins

affairs of the club are TO be managed by
nine directors, and the capital stock is to
be S225, 900, in 500 shares of $3.50. An
increase of the stock is allowed up to

made in its favor, aud the gamekeepers
employed on the grounds are invested
with the powers of constables or deputy

AND ALL FOR SPITE.-The story is
told of woman in London whose special
lie was a pair of the most exquisitely
proportional arms conceivable. Her
husband was even more proud of them
than she was-he absolutely dotted on
them. One day they had terrible
quarrel about something of small import
ance, and the woman was worsted. The
next day she was missing from home
and after a long search the husband
found her in one Of the London hospitals
undergoing treatment for an amputated
limb. Temporarily insane with thwarted
spite, she had not been able to devise
any better way of revenging herself on
her husband than by having one OF the
perfect limbs, of which he was so proud,
cut off The story seems improbable,
but it is hardly more so than that OF the
school boy Gambetta, scooping out one
of his eyes with a steel pen to spite his
father and mother, since he could get
the better of them in no other way.

The Herman Losses.

The official lists of the killed and
wounded on the German side during the
war have now been made up at Berlin,
as far rs relates to the army of the late
North German Bund and the Baden
division. The number given of killed in
action is 1850, of wounded SS,924, or
total casualties, without the missing,
102,8S4. But to these will have to be
added at least &c, 900 more of Bavarians
and Wurtembergers, so that the Germans
altogether may be considered to have
lost 100, 900, that is, more than six times
as many as Prussia lost in 1866, when
the casualties did not quite reach 20, 600.
The expenditure of the war is in still
greater proportion to that of 1866, owing
to the long duration. The latter was
returned at 124, 100000 thalers. The
present war has been rudely estimated at
Berlin at amounts varying from $780,
000, 900 to $3.50, 100000. But these esti-
mates are for money laid out, and do not
include stores expended. These 1t took
$1,000, 900 to replace in 1866. Lastly,
are the liabilities for pensions, and for
compensation to the Germans driven out
of France. The latter claim having been
excluded from the treaty is understood
to have been handed over to the German
Government to be met out of the general
pecuniary penalty imposed on France.

The WHITE OF AN EGG has proved of
late the most efficacious remedy for
burns. Seven or eight successive ap-
plications of this substance soothe pain,
and efectually exclude the burn from
the air. This simple remedy seems
preferable to colodion, or even cotton.
Extraordinary stories are told of the
healing properties of a new oil, which is
easily made from the yolk of hens eggs.
The eggs are first boiled hard, and the
yolk are then removed, crushed and
placed over fire, where they are care
fully stirred until the whole substance is
just on the point of catching fire, when
the oil separates and may be poured off.
One yolk will yield nearly two teaspoon
fuls of oil. 1t is in general use among
the colonists of South Russia as means
of curing cuts, bruises and scratches.

AN evidence of the spirit of reconciliation
which prevails in the South, is afforded in the
circumstance that General Buell., formerly of
the Union army, was prominent candidate
for the Craftsmanship of the recent Democratic
Convention at Louisville.
The Enquirer gives US the above, and
while we cordially welcome any signs.
however slight, of conciliatory sentiment,
we insist that there should be no misunder-
standing on this point. Why was the
mention of Gen. Buell's name as chairman
of Democratic convention in any manner
conciliatory? Only upon the ground that
he had fought against the Confederacy, to
which Kentucky played the dishonorable
part of secret ally while she professed
fidelity to the Union. The Enquirer con-
tesses for Kentucky all that is alleged
against her, when it cites this case. If
Kentucky was loyal, or her Democracy.
at least, then there would be no issue be-
tween her and any Union general. But
on the other hand was it as a Jealous and
faithful soldier that Buell. was thus cheaply
1onored.

that magnificent army, which he disgraced
by its tardy marches and useless mauor-
<res, been led by a truly loyal general such
as Grant, Sherman or Sheridan. the
civil war would have closed two wears
earlier than it did, and vast waste of blood
and treasure on both sides have been pre-
vented. Buell. only believed in the war
while it was waged on diplomatic or po-
]itical grounds, with view to compel a
compromise. When the country took the
management Of the war into its own hands

pets of West Point, and who, as McCauley
says of Essex aud his officers, dreaded a
