How TO {" LAY Our " A TowN.-IIorace Greeley
presents the following as a sure means of de-
stroying the prosperity of the most promising
town. There can be no doubt of its efficacy:
If you wish to keep town from thriving don't
put up any more buildings than you can conve-
niently occupy yourself. If you should acci-
dentally have an empty dwelling, and any one
should want TO rent it, ask three times the act
ual value of it, Demand Shylock price for
every foot of ground God has given you stew
ardship over. Turn Il cold shoulder to every
mechanic or business seeking a home
among you. Look at every new conner with q
scowl. Run down the work of every new work
man. Go away for wares rather than deal with
those that seek to do business in your midst
Fail to advertise, or in any other way to support
your paper, so the people abroad may not know
whether any business is going on in your town
or not Wrap yourselves up within yourselves,
and cover yourselves with coat of impervious
selfshness. There is no more effectual way to
retard the growth of town than the action like
those enumerated, and tljere are people in every
town who are pursuing the above course every
day of their lives, and to whom the above re-
marks are most respectfully offered for their
careful attention.

| PRoDuoTIvENEss OF ALFALFA.-Some years ago
number of men were conversng in Bakersfield,
in Kern county, about feed for stock and the
possibility of its running short. " Well," said
one of them, "my horse is all right, anyhow,
for have half an acre of ground sown in alfalfa
grass for him." At which his hearers laughed
ncreduously. The idea of talking about half
an acre of pasturage in domain where the pas
ture is measured by the thousand acres seemed
in the highest degree absurd. The speaker let
them enjoy their laugh, and when they had done
he Immediately adopted the California plan of
eulisting respect-oGering to bet. He offered to
bet his horse against any horse owned by the
company that if one of the animals were put in
the half acre of ALFALFA and pcketed with thr-
ty foot rope, it could not eat the grass off this
small circle quickly as it would grow. This
silenced his hearers.
One farmer, J. r. Reeder living within half a
mile of the town of Bakersfield, has thirty-fve
acres of land sown with alfalfa. He keeps three
men and mower employed in the field contiuu-
ally, and they have never yet succeeded in get
ting ahead of the growth of the grass.
1t positively seems to leap up. tits among the
most nourishing feed on which beef and dairy
cattle can he fed. Reeder sells all he raises at
SIT so to $50 per ton on his farm and draws
from each acre of the thirty-fve about 500 per
year, of which at least one-half is net profit
The total crop this year will be two hundred
tons. There is plenty Of just as good land in
Kern county, owned by the Government and
open to pre-emption and settlement, suitable for
grain, corn, alfalfa, or fruit and when the South
ern Pacific railroad is built, it soon is to be
through that section, the land will be worth a
high price, and its products will pay much bet
ter than they do now. Instead of selling this
grass, it will then pay much better to raise cat
tie upon it, either for butter and cheese beef
making purposes. The cars will then carry Ell
ther of the three to a large and unfailing market
With these facts before them, those who have
said that they were too poor to own land, will
have to admit either that they were mistaken,
or that they too lazy to become farmers on
their own account.-San Francisco Bulletin.

LETTERS OF REcoMMENDATIoN A gentleman
advertised for boy to assist him in his Office
and nearly fifty applicants presented themselves
to him. Out of the whole number he in short
time selected one and dismissed the rest.
"I should like to know" said a friend, ION
what ground you selected that boy, who has not
n single recommendation.
"You are mistaken" said the gentleman
"he had good many. He wiped his feet when
he came in and closed the door after him, show
ing that he was careful He gave up his seat
instantly to that old man, showing that he was
kind and thoughtful. lie took off his cap when
he came in, and answered my questions promptly
and respectfully, showing that he was polite and
gentlemanly. lie picked up the book which
had purposely laid upon the floor, and replaced
it on the table, while all the rest stepped over it
or shove it aside and he waited quietly for his
turn instead of pushing and crowdng, showing
that he was honest and orderly. When talked
with him, | noticed that his clothes were care
fully brushed, his hair in nice order and his
teeth as white as milk and when he wrote his
name, noticed that his finger nails were clean,
instead of being tipped with jet, like that hand

ABOUT OLD HEROES.

The local of the Philadelphia Dispatch is en-
ragged over some specimens clipped from "Book
of Biography" prepared by person named
D." Girls" for the public schools of Cincinnati.
He declares that if the mind of youth is to be
perverted in this remorseess manner, without
interference on the part of authorities, republi-
cansm is failure, and we might as we'll adver-
tise for a capable and honest despot, with an
iron heel of tyranny on his boot, at once. Here
are some specimens

Rubcoa. He held good hand, and told him
he had better order it up, but he passed. The
result is well known he lost the game"
"Alexander the Great and myself were school
mates. We were brought up little girls to-
gether. He used to amuse himself, | remember,
by smashing up all the globes there were in
school, and then sit down and cry because there
were no more worlds to conquer. | happened

Many others had tried in vain to do it,"
Columbus was mild weet-dispositioned
but exceedingly thoughtful boy, as | remember
him at school. When we were boys out playing
he would sit and weep for hours over the incom-
pleteness of the maps of the period. He felt as
though something was wanting. He wasn't sat
isfed with three-quarters of globe, such as
were employed in the schools of the time He
pined for the other quarter. He used to tell us
that we were n continent out somewhere and
that when he got big enough, he meant to run
away from home, go on the canal, and discover
it; but we only laughed at him, little thinking
that he would give his name to the State capital
of Ohio. lost all traces of Christopher until
years afterward, when the telegraph brought
the announcement of his having discovered

landed at Helena for minute to drop some let

heard tremendous explosion, and, looking up,

up to go to the assistance of the other sufferers
when the man of wax demanded $500 for the
damage done to his roof. TO high replied
the clerk, never paid more than $3.50 in my

old Paul Parker worked with emotions he could
not conceal
"I thought you wouldn't ha' cheated me,

one But ha'n't no right to your generosity.

"My father and are one, sir, in thought deed

" Then do not attempt it. Perhaps one of these
days may ask for yet more favors."
Old Paul Parker went home to his wife sedate-
ly triumphant.
"Wife, you've said q told you so all your
life now it's my turn"
what on airth do you mean p grumbed his
ascetic helpmate " do believe you're gettin'

AN OLD RELIC COMES TO LIGHT.-A short time
since, as the workmen were engaged in digging
foundation for Holmes h Pearces new store,
in Mount Olivet, Robertson county, they struck
two four-feet posts, buried perpendicularly, some
seven or eight feet apart-the top of each being
two feet from the surface of the ground. Con-
tinuing their labors, the workmen found at the
bottom of one of these posts a stone about one
foot square, bearing this inscription, in plain
but roughly y-carved letters, viz: sd. B., l775."
Now, as Daniel Boone was wont to roam in these
settlement years ago, it is not at all unlikely
that the initials are meant for him, though the
stone was certainly not placed there to mark his
last resting place, even though the position of
the two posts indicates grave. But what was
the stone doing at the foot of the post? And
how came the post to be two feet from the sur
face of the earth? And if it was a grave, why
were there not some signs of Il coflE2 And-what
does it all mean, anyhow. We "pause for
reply" Who knows? The posts had evidently
been buried for time without reckoning, for on
exposure to the light they at once crumbed to
dust.-C CarIisIe (Ky.) Mercury.

THE French journals tell story to the effect
that Sir Walter Scott once offered his youngest
daughter her choice between dowry of $40, 900
and the Ms. of Quentin Durward." She asked
to read the work, aud secretly taking it to a
publisher, found that he would give her nearly
$25, 900 for it. She then told her father that
she would prefer the novel, which deeply touched
the poet, who died in blissful ignorance of the
trick

THE courts of Ohio county, West Virginia,
have for a long time been occupied by a case in.
volving the value of goat, worth perhaps $40
or $l2. The goat had been a tresspasser, and
had been shot, and suit for damages ensued.
The first jury failed to agree, and the second
awarded damages in the sum of $35. On an ap-
peal the third jury failed to agree, but fourth
jury returned verdict for $l2. After this still
another hitch occurred at to the tender of a GER
tain sum, which would make one of the parties
responsible for the costs. Two juries failed to
agree upon this point, and so the case stands
undecided When decision is finally reached
the entire costs will probably exceed $500.
