A HORSE CAsE.-Henry Dralne, colored
nan, who figures extensively In the Trial Justice
Courts, some time ago bought himself horse.
and listening to the persuasions Of his willy
friend, VIM. Lawless, gave the latter the horse to
sell for him. Lawless sold the horse, receiving
$50 as the cash portion, anu when Draine asked
for the money to pay pressing debt, refused to
give 1t up or account for 1t. Draine proceeded TO
the stable OF the purchaser, and quietly taking
possession Of the horse, rode it OIL, pursued ey
Lawless and The purchaser. The two latter tried
TO take out warrant Of arrest against him for
horse stealing, but trial justice refused to issue
one On their statement. Rejoicing In the recovery
OF his horse, Draiae rode by the Courthouhe anu
seeing his old friend on the sidewalk, made IL all
up. The party then proceeded 20 oar-room et
the corner OF King and Broad streets, to take
dIink, and while indplgllg In several smilea, Law .
less made an offer Of $40 for tae horse. Dralne
went across the street with friend to tals2is
over, and returned In time to see Lawless astfide
OF his horse and flying up King street on the
wings OF the wind. An appeal TO Ir'ai 'usuoe
Aackey was the consequence, and conseaoie
armed with q warrant succeeded In setune poS-
session Of the horse and arresting LaWless' lhe
latter retained Trial Justice Canifea as MS coun-
.el in the case, and a few moments before the
time appointed for the trial. Draine was arresteo
under warrant from Caulfeld, and could oe
found. The arrest Of Draiue having been discoV'
cred by Trial Justice Mackey, the case was post
poned. 1t was heard, however, on Saturday. ana
after tedious trial the justice yesterday decloea
that Draine was entitled to the possession Of tne
horse, and naalcted Lawless for all the damages
and costs. The horse was delivered to Dralne,
who rode of trlumphantly with his prize.

Attend 10 qhreshing Grain.

Loss is almost certain to attend long de-
lay in threshing out grain after it has
been gathered from the field. Stored in
the barn, it is subject to the rsvages of fire
and vermin, and if in the stack, 1t is sub
jet to injury from the same causes, AID,
in addition to these, liable to mold and
dampness, OIL to be scattered by tempest.
There is no time when grain will thresh
more easily han when it first comes from
the shock, if properly cured, and at no
time will il be in better condition for stor-
ing or for market.
Grain, after lying in the straw for a
while in large bulk, gathers dampness and
shells u with greater difficulty than it
would have done before this, and contains
a greater amount of moisture when it goes
into the bin. If mold is taking place in
the stack or NOW, it cannot be easily ar
rested, but if in the bin, the work can be
Performed with comparative case, and in
case of fire the chances of saving the same
are multiplied a hundred fold. Then,
again, the straw is better for stock feed if
threshed when fresh from the field than
after lying and sweating in the compressed
sheaves.
At no seasono of the yearis the grain mar
ket mere empty than at harvest time, and
usually the scarcity ofan article increases
the prics in like proportion. Therefore
under ordinary circumstances-we do not
say all-it is best to take to market as
early as possible the surplus amount OF
grain. Even if a few cents more q bushel
may be obtained in the fall than at har.
vest time, the shrinbage, risk, etc, viii
more than make any reasonable difference

destroyed. The one meets with as flatter-
ing a reception as a wealthy gentleman
proposing TO take up his abode in a coun-
try village, while the other is as much m
object Ofdislike as a poor man, who bids
fair to become a public charge.
To return to u imprisoned bees their
hive should be beaten smartly with the
palms Of the hands, or two small rods, on
the sides to which the combs are attached.
so as TO run no risk of lOosening them.
These "rappings," although not of a very
" spiritual character, produce, neverthe-
less, a decided effect upon the bees. Their
first impulse, if no smoke were used,
would be to sally out, and wreak their
vengence on those who thus rudely assail
their honied dome; but as Don as they
inhale its fumes, and feel the terrible con-
cussions of their once stable ABODE, a sud
den fear that they are TO be driven from
their treasures, takes possession of them.
Determined to prepare for this uncere-
mOniOus writ of election, by carrying Of
what they can, each bee begins to lay in a
supply, and in about five minutes, all are
filled to their utmost capacity. 4 prodig-
iOus humming is now heard, as they be-
gin TO mount into the upper box; and in
about fifteen minutes from the time the
rapping .began-if it has been continued
with but slight intermissiOns the mass
of the bees, with their queen, will hang
clustered in the forcing box, like any
natural swarm, and may, at the proper
time, be readily shaken ont, on a sheet, in

of saying boo to a goose. Bret Harte was
as true to nature as to art in his descrip-
ton of the denizens of "Roaring Camp:
The assemblage numbered about a hun
dred men, One or two of these were ac-
tual fugitives from justice, some were Grim
inal, and all were reckless. Physically,
they exhibited no indication of their past
lives and character. The greatest scamp
had q Raphael face, with a p~rofusiOn of
blond hair; Oakhurst, a gambler, had the
melancholy air and intellectual abstraction
OF a Hamlet; the coolest and most coura-
geous man was scarcely over five feet in
height, with a soft voice and an embarrass-
ed, timid n Perhaps in the minor
details of fingers, toes, ears, etc, the
camp may have been deficient, but these
slight omissions did not detract from their
aggregate force. The strongest man had
but three fingers IN his right hand the
best shot had but one eye" These few
touches, haSty and unconsidered as they
seem, prove that the writer is q shrewd OBJ
server of human nature. q reader of charac-
ter, in the best n The conventional
novelist, who has studied novels rather than
life, makes his williams the most obvious,
barefaced Williams. The black sheep is so
very black, physically and morally, the
wonter is that the sanity hero or the
angelic heroine does not hand him over to
the police the instant he appears. Il is
not so unknOwingly that Shakespeare
drew his rascals. 1t was not so he drew
Iago-outwardly a most engaging, soldier
ly, capital, frank eyed fellow, though
many actors, judging by their mouthing
and Lang-dog manner, seem to think that
Iago was a cheap transparent knave. As
he is usually represented on the boards,
he would not have deceived Othello for
a quarter of an hour. Othello would
have split him perpendicularly with his
scimiter at an early stage of the proceed
ings. Iago was a witty, plausible, fasci-
mating, sOulless villain, cool, adroit, and
sunny-just such a villain, in short, as the
professional reader of character would
select from a crowd as being an open-faced,
honest man and right good fellow.
1t is only in books that the sharp-fea-
tured man is always irritable, and the
rOund-faced man always jolly. In real
life, it is often the scamp who has the
smile that is childlike and bland" and
the choice spirit, the heart Of true gold,
that wears unprepossessing clay about it.

Having Things Handy.

The other day we went into q model
kitchen. Between it and the dining room
q small passage served as closet and also
to keep all OdOrs of the kitchen from
reaching the dining table. On enc side of
the kitchen was a large range, beyond that
a sink, with hot and cold water leading
into it and a waste pipe from it. At the
end of the room, between two windows,
screened to prevent the ingress of flies,
stood a long workable with a series of
drawers. On the other side of the room
were two stationary tubs, each with fau-
Gets for hot and cold water, and a discharge
pipe. Hinged covers made an ironing
table firm and ample. Just beyond the
sink q door opened into the pantry, arOOm
four by ten, with a window, a shelf run
ming round three sides of it, wide and
high enough to cover barrels of flour,
sugar and meal. At one end Of the space
beneath this shelf was filed with deep
drawers for towels, table cloths, the iron
ing blanket, starch, blueing, each in ap-
propriate places. The housewife needed
but to step in there and find everything at
hand necessary to prepare food for the
table. No running up stairs for meal and
flour, no labor for getting ready to make
bread or pies or cake; pans were close by,
spices in neat boxes at her elbow; coffee
mill, with a little shelf under it TO hold
the cup, was screwed over the window
casing. What hardships are there in do
ing work in such q kitchen?
Contrast it with another we toiled in
once. China closet in one corner of a
room, t~wenty-four by fourteen, dry sink
and sick closet at the opposite end of the
diagonal, stove midway, pump in an out
house three steps down and twenty-five
feet distant, cistern pump ditto, flour and
meal in the Kitchen chamber. BY the
time everything required to make bread,
pies, or cake was gotten together our
strength was quite gone, but the food must
be made, and the wearisome task of put
ting everything in place gone through
with. The kitchen could have been made
tolerable by cutting off a section including
the sink and contiguous window, fora pam
try with shelves and drawers sufficient to
contain everything needed in the kitchen.
The waste-pipe should have been put into
the sink, the pumps from both cistern and
well set in shelves near it, aud then one
could have worked there with comfort.
An expenditure of a little industry, in
genuity, and money would convert many
In ill-planned dismal kitchen into a cheer
full, commodious room.
Soon the harvest will be past, and our
good wives have a little change in pocket.
We suggest that they look after all these
odds. and ends, nay, these prime requisites
for leisure, ch~eeriulness and thritt-the
labor saving economies. By so doing they
may secure many an hour, even in the
short days of winter, for furnishing their
minds with valuable knowledge, and the
walls of their homes with tasteful devices.

Sterling Advice.

A lady makes some suggestions, in a
London journal, on the subject of marriage
or celibacy, q few of which we annex:
"When a girl marries she ought, to a
certain extent, give up her acquaintance,
and consider the company of her husband
the best company she can have. The
young wife must learn cooking carefully,
if she does not already have a good know
ledge of it. There are many excellent
cookery books, but she must not follow
them implicitly. My own plan, for some
time after | was married, was to take some
recipe given, and note carefully what in
gradients could be dispensed with. The
second time l generally managed it at halt
the expense. A useful plan is to keep a
blank book in the kitchen table drawer,
and whenever a deviation from the ortho-
dox cookery book is made, to jot it down.
Donot wait till you have washed your
hands; let the book be finger marked
rather than lose an idea. You will thus
learn more of household economy han if
you trust to memory alone; and when
your daughters grow up, what a fund of
practical information it will be for themI
ITO a great extent, the celibacy of u
young men is owing to the way in which
girls are brought up Through mistaken
kindness mothers often themselves do
what they ought to make their daughters
do. Let them teach housekeeping on a
