HOW AN EXPERT" IDENTIFIED
FORGED SIGNATURE.

Not long since a case was tried in
the Supreme Court in a aneighboring
county, says the Portland, Me-, Press,
in which the genuinness of the sigma
lures to a number of promisory
notes, pronounced his name as ap-
pearing on one of the larger notes a
forgery. The ablest experts declar-
ed that they could see no difference
in the autographs. The witness
stoutly persisted that the one he
designated was forgery. Careful
tests were applied. The notes were
shuffled and dealt to him, and he
instantly picked out the fraudulent
paper. The papers were then over
laid in such Il manner as to show
only the attested names, and with
out moment of hesitation he threw
out the paper. Every test which the
ingenuity of the lawyers could de-
wise was applied, with the same re-
suit, ,and the case went to the jury.
After the case was closed one of the
counsel gave the papers a careful
examination, when it was found that
the disowned signature had been
punctured with pin between the
letters, but the mark was so small
that it had escaped score of pry-
ing eyes; yet to the witness exper-
fenced vision it was ''plain as pike
staff"

Remedy Tor Heaves in Horses.

Pour down the animal a gill or
more of oil or melted grease of any
kind, and a cure will be effected in
from ten to twenty minutes.
DR.. Ransom writes: Seeing spear
mint and other articles recon-
mended for heaves in horses,
prompts me to mention my expert
ence with another valuable herb in
the cure of this distressing and
troublesome complaint. Feed no
hay to the horse for thirty-six or
forty eight hours, and give only a
pailful of water at a time. Then
throw an armful of well-cured
smartweed before him and let him
eat all he will. In all cases where
the cells of the lungs are broken
down, great relief, if not a perma-
nent cure, will follow. have seen
a horse, with the heaves as bad as l
ever saw, cured by one dose. Smart
weed is valuable for many purposes,
and should be laid away for use
when needed.

Oscar Seymour's injuries, although
severe, were not of fatal character, ant
the kiad care sof frieads. snd the deli
cate attentions of Myra Forsyth aided
much his recovery, which, from the ma.
ture of his injuries, was slow.
He soon learned, by that intuitive
knowledge which needs no language to
interpret its meaning, that another pro-
posal to his fair visitor would not re-
eeive reply like the former, and he
was not long in making this assurance
without shadow of doubt.
The lovers were engaged---all oppo-
sition having been withdrawn---andt the
patients hours of pain were soothed by
thoughts of the happy future in store for
them.
"Myra, DEAR" said Oscar, one day.
when, after weeks of confinement to his
room, he was found to be rapidly con-
valescing,"I 81 have some good news to
tell you.
Nothing can be better than that you
are rapidly recovering, l am sure" was
the modest spoken reply.
lyon are always so good, always
thinking of my recovery---but I have
been thinking, while idly lying here of
a method by which 1 could perfect an
invention about which 1 have been
studying a long time. l feel sure the
problem is now solved, and it will en-
able me to offer you fortune as well as
devoted heart.
Oscars expectations were realized
So Myra married a wealthy manufac-
turer, and not poor mechanic.

That's the Kind.

A spirited Minnesota girl dis
missed her lover ON learning that he
gave her father a drink of whisky.
That's the kind. Ifall the girls in the
land would go and do likewise, our
country would be cursed with fewer
young men, who, by their drinking
habits, have ruined themselves, and
may be the means of saving many
fond and loving hearts. Itis with
in the power of every woman, ,partic-
ularly every young and unmarried
one, to WELD a mighty influence on
the side of right, and against the
demoralizing and degrading usages
of society,if she only so wills it. 1t
is question involving the happi-
ness of millions, and no half way
measure can meet the case. Prompt,
decided, energetic action is called
for.
We recommend the action
of the Minnesota girl. Girls if
your lovers love whiskey so well
that they will not give it up for love
of you, then love yourselves so well
that you will not love those who
love whiskey.

Farm and Household.
SummergFallowine.

Ground that is intended for a
crop of wheat should he plowed in
June. As soon as the corn is plant
ed, first plowing should be given,
unless a crop of clover is to be
turned under, when it may be de-
ferred until the. clover is in full
bloom. A fallow, whether bare or
with green crop, has for one of its
purposes the destruction of weeds.
As many weeds ripen early, they
should be destroyed in time. After
tonce pfowing, if the ground is well
narrowed and pulverized, and the
weeds kept down, a second plowing,
may be deferred until the sod is
well rotted, when it may be crossed
and again narrowed. This constant
stirring of the soil will effectually
kill out the weeds and clean out the
land. The exposure to the sun and
air will develop food, available for
the coming crop. The more the soil
is turned and intermixed, the more
perfectly will this result be accom-
plished. The labor is well bestowed,
for not only will the wheat crop be
improved, but the grass will take
better on sucA well prepared soil,
and good grass means good grain to
follow.
As rotation of crops has become
an established principle of good
farming, it is necessary to start well.
The rotation well commenced will
proceed well throughout. If there
should not be time to prepare thor
oughly whole field, concentrate all
the time and labor, as well as
manure on such q part as may be,
and what is done, do well. 1t is by
such means that farmers in Great
Britain are enabled to pay yearly
rentals of twenty-five to forty dol
lars per acre, and 1--we well besides.
More than half the farms of that
country are under twenty acres, and
the country has the appearance of a
garden. Fields are cleared of weeds
by fallows, lime is applied regularly,
crops are hoed by hand; even wheat
is thus cleaned. Weeds are pulled
by gangs of children, nothing is
left to deprive the grain or roots of
the necessary food, and enormous
crops are the result. While the cost
of labor prevents much of this with
us, it does not prevent us from cul
tivating our lands thoroughly. By
decreasing the extent of the land
worked, We may increase the aver
age crop. Weeds are improbable
and must be killed out. The sum
mer is the only time for this work,
the plow and harrow, are the needed
tools, and constant working the only
method.

Population of London.

London has been popularly sup
posed to contain about two and q
quarter millions of inhabitants, but
the recently taken census shows s.
251, ,SO4 inhabitants, or about a mill
ion more than was generally thought.
1t has increased during the past
decade sixteen per cent, as against
fourteen per cent. increase in New
York during the same period. 1t
should be said, however, that New
York, from its peculiar location,
does not receive the full benefit of
its legitimate increase, while Lon
don does. Jersey City and Brook
lyn receive q large share of New
York's increase, and this should be
thought of when comparison is
instituted between it and London.

ing out her arms and putting up her
rosy lips in sweet kiss.
Tommy looked q look of wonder.
Did his little ears hear right? They
did, for there was kiss on Susy's s

face. like sunshine on dark cloud.
Il kiss 'oo," he then said; and

Here smile and bleed. here bleed and bloom
And yieldto heaven thy fresh perfume;-

That droops and bends and bleeds in theef
Some penitence, some hidden shame.
That sets thy pure young heart afame.

Dear flower. i bathe thee in my tears:
Such pure and perfect type thou art

And into sudden bloom did start
My little. human, Bleeding Heart

Whose slight and fragile form did bow
And in sweet. silent patience, bear
A mothers cross, and smiling wear
The thorn crown on his baby brow.
Go, lovely flower, and smile above
The weary child who sleeps below;
Co. ask those wistfnl, longing eyes.
If now the smile in Paradise!
\ lonely mother longs TO know.
And whisper in mothers ear
The secret of thy faith, that
May smile and bleed, may bleed and boom.
While patience, like thy sweet perfume.
Exhales in incense to the sky.

And glory in Thy cross and crowr.

That pain and anguish are divine.
This healing truth steals softly down
And sinks into my soul;-the earth.
Broken and bruised, doth bloom and sing.
Doth bear Thy cross upon its flowers,
And whisper through summer hours
That suffering is a holy thing.
o Christ! o holy Bleeding-Heart.

And so, my suffering Lord, would
Rejoice to bleed, rejoice to die,
Since Thou hast bled and died for me.

Only Trying the Engine.

The new Democratic departure re-
minds US of the familiar method of
testing the speed of a steamers en-
gines by tying the vessel to a wharf,
setting the machinery in motion,
and then counting the revolutions of
the screw. There is q great com
motion in the water, and a tremen-
dous putting of smoke and kissing
of steam, and then we are told that
the boat has made ten or fifteen
knots an hour, though it has not
moved a foot. So the Vallandig-
ham party is resolving that the Dem
ocrats must make a fresh start, ig-
more the old issues, accept negro
suffrage, and stop debating the Con
stitutional Amendments, until they
get into power; while the more out
spoken politicians, like Carlise,
Democratic candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor of Kentucky, are
careful to explain that this is only
an apparent abandonment which
really abandons nothing; they ac-
cept the amendments now because
they cannot help themselves, but
they will test them in the courts
whenever they get a chance, and if
the courts hold them valid they will
insist upon their repeal. That is to
say, the party does not change either
it's principles or its aims; it only
modifies its platform to suit the
popular prejudices of the hour. The
paddles are revolving beautifully,
but the boat is fast to the dock.
Mr.. Carlisle's departure, which
doesn't depart, is much more com
prehensible than the programme of
Vallandigham and The World. 1t
is merely an agreement not to say
anything shocking until.4the cam
paign is over, and then to carry out
the old Democratic principle of op-
position to equal rights in whatever
way may seem most convenient and
effectual. But if the hawsers should
be cast off, and the vessel allowed
really to move in the direction Mr..
Vallandigham is trying to point it,
we don't see what use there would
be for any Democratic party at all.
On great questions of national con
Germ the Democrats would have ac-
knowledged that Republicanism is
the orthodox political creed, and
the Democracy of the past twenty
years a pestilent heresy. There
would not be difference enough in
the platforms of the two organiza-
tions, save ON the impotent Demo
cratic effort at repudiation, to make
the next campaign worth fighting.
Both parties would hold substanti-
ally the same faith; and as the peo-
Pile would naturally trust the old
professors of that faith, who had
held to it through good report and
through evil report, in the darkness
of battle and in the sunshine of
prosperity, rather than new converts
whose sincerity was yet untried, it
does seem as if the Democrats
might as well spare themselves the
trouble of making any nominations:
But we suspect it will be found that
the vessel has been tied pretty tight
all the time.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Colorado Potato Bugs are

At last accounts the Detroit river
was literally swarming with them.
Those that could procure passage
ON chips, slaves, boards, pieces of
bark or other floating thing, did so.
Those that were not thus fortunate
entered boldly out into the raging
stream, or resigned themselves to
the mercy of the wind.

depth of seventeen, or eighteen feet
Whenever these works may have been
built, or whatever nay have been the
object.cf their conservation it is evident
that they well deserve the name of an
| cient.
There are trees now growing on the
top of the wall about three feet in diam
eter, and Others of large size, that have
grown up. lived, died and are now near
ly deeayed, upon walls whose authors
were, perhaps, almost forgotten before
the trees began to live. One popularity
of these works is that nothing definite
can be obtained from any source, in re-
gard to their builders; whether they
were built by some of the earliest eX-
explorers of this country, or by race,
who occupied the country previous
to its occupation by the Indians is un-
certain, but it is probable that they are
contemporaneous with the ancient ruins
of Mexico and Central America; they
are evidently the offspring of higher
civilization than the Indians possessed.
The onward plod of peace, and the arts
OF civilization is now rapidly encroaeh-
ing upon their warlike aspect, and the
walls that were once the scene of all
the 'pomp and circumstance of war"
have been transformed into a defense
for quiet cornfield. So much has civ
ilization done for the land that these
very jaws of death have become the
preservers of life. The nearest approach
1 saw to "the battles magnificantly stern
array" was combat between a black
snake of the species (coluber constric-
tor), and garter snake of the species
(eutania Sirtalis) they seemed to have
partaken largely of the warlike spirit
of their human predecessors, and each
was evidently determined to conquer,or
die; their jaws were fixed upon each
other, and each was struggling hard for
the mastery. watched them a little
while and then left them to victory or
defeat as the case might be. am sorry
that there seems to be so little desire to
preserve these memorials of past age,
and forgotten people. The great
struggle for dollars and cents, is bat
tering down everything that fails to
produce return of gold. In few
years these ancient earth-works will
perhaps, live only in history. Let us
preserve them there at least.
