proper depth depends greatly upon the
size of the seed, and, as a general rule
varying somewhat with circumstance
seed should be planted to a depth three or
four times their diameter; if much deeper
they will be slow in coming up, unless the
soil is very open or porous.
Some years ago, on visiting one of the
largest and best managed commercial gar
dens in the country, We found that two
gardeners were constantly employed, win
ter and summer, in making composts.
Huge heaps were continually worked over
and finely intermixed, until they became
almost as fine as -four. Nothing could be
better to start the seeds or to cause con-
tinued and successful growth afterwards.

have known plenty of men and women
no better or wiser than they.
Joe Ripley had an inveterate habit Of
talking to himself, which had often af-
forded great deal of sport to the boys;
but Joe's oddities had a marvellous tenaci-
ty about them, which neither argument
nor ridicule could easily overcome.
One is so apt to see a quarrel in diff
ferent light after sleeping over it. JOe's
rose up in his memory in its true proper
tions now, and he saw clearly enough how
foolish and wicked it had all been. Joe
shook his head solemnly thinking it all
over. You were great fool, yesterday
Joe Ripley!" he said, bringing the words
out loud and emphatic enough.
Sydney Powers heard them. A laugh
twinkled suddenly in the boys eyes. He
knew Joe's habit, and he knew, too, what
was going on in his thoughts at that mo-
ment. wonder if good angel did not

Joseph Ripley turned around in his
slow way, his mouth distended, his big,
light-blue eyes filled with comical stare,
as he gradually took the whole thing in.
So the boys stood still moment survey

drew closer. The ice was broken now.
"Well, then, said Joe, not without q
little internal struggle, but there was
something warm and sound at the bottom
of him-you see which got the mastery
now-"s'pose we shake hands and make II
all up?"
~ think it's the most sensible thing We
can do, Joe, answered Sydney heartily,
and the two boys griped each others hands
until both ached. If they had been girls
think they would have went farther and
kissed each other; as it was, there were
tears in the eyes of both.
Then they both sat down under tree
by the roadside in the pleasant summer
morning, and talked the whole thing over;
and between their talk the robins song
went and came sweetly; and Sydney told
his friend all the pain and darkness which
had been in his heart at the thought of
their final separation and Joe, on his part,
had a story to tell of much the same sort.
When they rose up at last, Sydney hit
his companion a sharp blow on the shout

THE success of annual flowers depends
on the fertility and richness Of the soil in
the first place, and in keeping it clean and
mellow afterwards If heavy or clayey,
novices often entirely fail TO cause germi-

buried too deep; or, If not, a crust is per
mitted to form ON the surface, and the top
soil becomes too hard and dry. The rails.

Avery Remarkable Balloon Ascension.

A REPORTER of the Titusville Herald
had a rather unusual experience at bal
loon ascension at Cory, OF which ne
writes:

orders were given to cut the rope. My

Custom.HOuse Smugglers.

VERY young infants and small children
are used as instruments for smuggling. On
one occasion an immigrant family, man
and wife, and two nearly grownup daugh-
tiers, presented themselves. They were
very ailable and easy in their manners, and
without much trouble To them, were pro-
nounced "all right and while the proper
proceedings were in progress for their dis
missal one Of the officers saw handsome
little boy standing alone, and struck by his
attractive appearance, and not knowing TO
whom he belonged, he spoke TO the child,
and attempted TO "skylark with him.
The officer was surprised to find the
child could not bend his body; on exami-
nation it was found that his clothing was
quilted with valuable articles ofsilk manu-
facture and silver spoons. The little fellow
belonged to the family the members Of
which had just been pronounced "all

A gentlemanly looking but poorly clad
passenger, from his intelligent expression
OF face and agreeable manners, was treated
with marked consideration. The officers
were SO easily satisfied that he was honest
that they took no special notice of a small
clap .cloth," much worn, which was hang
ing on his arm. A detective, at the time
"of duty" noticed a carriage waiting for
some person, and asked the driver for
whom 1t was intended, and Jehu pointed
to the passenger who was approaching with
the lap-cloth, az usual on his arm. There
was something apparently inconsistent in
having a carriage for such man. A sus-
picion being excited, the officer seized the
lap cloth. On a critical search it was
found to be lined or padded with Brussels
lace, that sold at public auction for eleven
thousand dollars.

DIAMONDS IN TRINITY.-The possibility of dia-
monds being found in this county has been sug-
gested at different times by scientific men. Not
long ago we listened to a narration of how what
was in all probability diamond of great value,
was found in this basin and through ignorance
of its real character, afterwards misaid and lost
Several years ago Mr.. l. Woodbury. while min
ing the red fiat above Garden Gulch found sim
gular looking stone in his bedrock ditch and
picked it up. As it lay in the ditch it appeared
to be piece of metal but upon closer inspection
it showed to be stone having glazed metallic
coating. The crust was broken off on one side
apparently by blow from a pick, revealing the
grain of the stone Mr.. Woodbury. thought it
was queer looking pebble and so thinking laid
it up on the side of the ditch and went about his
work Passing on a few feet he had occasion to
turn around to give directions to some person be-
hind him when his attention was arrested by the
strange results produced by the sunbeams fall
ing on the odd seeming pebble The fractured
side happened to be up and reflected the sun s
rays in brilliant flame mainly of a blush tint,
but showing the various tints of the rainbow
and blazing up in size and shape much like a
large dining glass. Never having seen the like
before, Mr.. Woodbury. thought to keep it as
curiosity and told his brother to put it away.
Having read an article in the Mning Press in
relation to these precious stones, Mr.. Woodbury.
became satisfied that it was diamond that so
much enlisted his curiosity. After making dill
gent search and inquiry he has been unable to
find it. The misaid diamond was half an inch
or more in diameter, and being doubtless of the
first water was of great value, perhaps running
well up into the thousands.
Moral-Miners, don't be careless with odd
looking pebbles or pieces of metal. Fortune
may come knocking at your doorsand be enter
tained unawares or worse yet you may slam the
door in her face.
