 PINE PLA1Ns.
 We were over there last Saturday and know something about it. We find this place is very properly named, as far as the 'Plains part is concerned. One can keep his head as level as he chooses any where about there, as for instance, when we just thought to smile a moment on Ed itor Hoag of the Herald, and not hnding him at his office, were informed by gen tlemanly individual near by that he was ds usual, out at one of the hotels seeking has 1epel. This man said he seldom failed, as at this business he always did his "level best" giving the most of his time to this particular work. A moments glance about his office is sufficient to convince one that everything, even to his types on the lmpos- ing stone, on which we should think per baps there were at least bushel and half waiting to be distributed in the cases, and also those in the " forms which were ly- ing on the press, were sympathizing deeply with their boss" for indeed nearly all of them have found heir level. Such mass of pied type and general confusion of everything, is not likely to be found, else

SEEDING DOWN GRASSES.

Mr., Charles l.. Flint, the well-known
writer on grass, advocates their seeding
alone, and generally late in summer or
fall, and asserts /. That early fall
seeding without grain should be adopt
ed in practice in preference to spring
seeding. .. That, as Il general rule, it
is poor economy to take any grain crop,
either with OF Immediately preceding
the seeding down to grass. That the
grass being the ultimate and paying
crop it is bad practice to reduce the
land by the draft which a grain crop
makes upon it. B. That whenever,
from any local reason, it becomes de-
sirable to raise n crop Of spring grain,
it is more economical to SOW the grain
alone in the spring, and to pillow up the
stubble and sow the grass seed alone in
the early fall. 4. That in cases where
ii seems desirable to SOW grass in the

it take its chances, without compelling
it to struggle for existence under the
disadvantages Of a grain or any other
crop, 5. That in seeding down in
August or early in September, we are
following nature as to time, and that,
unless the ground is already rich and in
high condition, it is necessary to give
the seed the benefit of an application Of
manure ON or near the surface to which
the seed is applied. 6. That in the
selection of seeds for moving lots and
hay, We should choose varieties to mix
that blossom or ut neal the same time,
and not mix very early and very late
varieties together.

From the British quarterly Review.
Most Of the philosophers who have
set TO work to define mental sensations
insist that laughter supposes It feeling
Of superiority in the lnughcr over the
laughed at but they seem to overlook
the great distinction between laughing
al and laughing with my one. Doubt
less It feeling Of contempt often raises Il
laugh, and the absrwditics of men and
women are 4 constant food for laughter !;
but humorists often laugh at them
selves. Nothing will illustrate better
Til" ]ahsurlity Of the wholesale state
mcnt that Laughter implies contempt
than Charles Lambs relation TO Cole
ridge. He constantly laughed and
ioEcd ut the preaching of the philoso-
phcr, but he rcycrrnrud his friend Of
fifty years, and looked up to him with
chiidiihc love,
\ "Wcgtminstcr Reviewer defines
the cause Of laughter as the representa-
ton of objects with qualities the oppo-
site of their own; but all incon8ruities
do not cause laughter. Ludicrous in
]con%ruity is opposed TO dignity, and
this is why those who have little wis
dom to fall back upon hate a laugh,
Lord Bolingbrokc said that gravity is
tho very essence Of impoSture and Joe
Miller is the authority for the assertion
that rs the gravcst beast is an ass, the
graycst bird il IN owl, and the grnvest
fish is IN oyster, 30 that the gravest
is Il fool. If any one is inclined to
doubt Joe MiIlcr's dlctum, We can cor
roboratc it by the authority Of Plato,
who, when induIGing in the gayety OF
his heart, used sometimes to say,
'Silcncc, my friends let us be wise
now here is a fool coming"
Lord Chesterfield was nc fool, and he
di5approvod of laughter but he allow
ed his son to smile, for he did not advo-
cafe gravity. He considered laughter
MS ill-bred, not only on account OF the
disngrecabIe noise. but because OF "thc
shocking distortion Of the face it Occh-
sions !" 1t is happy for the world that
surh false notions are not now received.
Some suppose that laughter is caused
by novelty and surprise and Il French
philosopher, in accounting for the fact
that, although We are told Our Lord
went. we never hear that He laughed,
suggests to us the reason that nothing
was new to Him. Although this is good
enough as Il theory, ii II grounded upon
a mistaken idea OF laughter, for We
often laugh on the recollection OF IL
witticism. Nevertheless, surprise IS Il
material element oi laughter, although
il is not confined to that emotion. 1t
has been well observed that "the only
constant effect that follows ON an origin
al and striking comparison is a shock of
agreeable surprise; it is us ii II partition
wall in our intellect was suddenly
blown out; two things, formerly strange
TO one another, have flashed together.

Our readers have not forgotten the
mysterious murder in Connecticut sOmc
time since, Of Captain ColyocorcssrS, II
gentleman of wealth and position who
had formerly held Il commission in the
United States navy. No clue to the
perpetrator of the crime was ever OBJ
tanned, and We believe all search has
been abandoned but the ease has now
assumed II new and startling phase
which will arouse deep interest through
out the countrY.
At the time of his death, Captain
Colvocoresscs' life was insured for the
SUN Of $lS5,0O The com
panies issuing the policies refused to
pay. and suits have been commenced by
the heirs of the deceased against the
Mutual, Metropolitan, New York Life,
Cincinnati Mutual Life, and PhmniX
Life Insurance Company of Hartford.
The defense set up by the latter COM
pany-which it is understood is idcnti-
cal with all the rests that Colvoco-
resses obtained the policy with the in
tention Of d~cfrauding the corporation
which insured him by committing sui
eide This, to say the least, is a novel
plea. and the developments of the trial
will be eagerly scrutinizcd to ascertain
the facts upon which said plea is based.
Men do not often kill themselves to
make other people rich, and we hardly
think COlvocoresses had any intention
of becoming food for worms in order
that his family might have 2lSJ, 900.
He waishealthy, wealthy and reason
ably wise he had agreeable domestic
surroundings and an abundance Of
