How Jim Fisk Got His StaFA

From the Chicago Post,
When Fisk was about ten years
ofage he kept q small market stand
in Bennington, Vermont. One day
the eminent steamboat man, Daniel
Drew, came to the market with his
basket on his arm. He asked young
Fisk ifhis eggs were fresh. You
bet," replied the ingenious boy,
"pop pulled them off the vines this
morning" "Give me a dozen, SON.
ny" replied Mr.. Drew, The next
stall was kept by little Eliphalet
Buckram. as this pumpkin good
my SOM" asked the venerable stock
broker. 1T is good enough Nor
gan" answered the truthful child,
"but, sir, if you will examine that
portion concealed from too scruti-
nizing view, by contact with the
boards forming the counter Of the
stall, you will see that there is a bad
spot in il" "Does not that seem
unbusinessike, my child, to cry
down your own wares? asked the
hearted millionaire. "My
sainted mother told me I must ney.
er tell q lie with my little hatchet,"
responded Eliphalet Buckrsm. The
rich man was moved to tears; he
took out his purse and gave Eliphs-
let Buckram a pat on the head, and
said he was a good boy. When he
had gone, Ehphalet Buckram said
to little James, 30, James, what
made you tell such a fb! You know
those eggs were laid three weeks
ago. YIu will see that I have gain
ed customer, and you have lost
one" Well, when Eliphalet went
home, his stepmother came to the
door and said: "Hero you are, you
lazy little sneak, and you havnt
sold that punkin yeti I'll punkin
you!" And she took him in her
stepmotherly arms aud famed him
with an OK goad until he said that
he would prefer taking meals of
the mantlepiece for the next few
consecutive days to sitting down
with the rest of the family. And
next day Daniel Drew came into the
market "a rearin' and tearin'," rs
old inhabitants say, and said:
"Where is the boy that sold me
those eggs, eh2" and Jim Fisk point
ed to Eliphalet and said; "There
he is, sir" rand Daniel Drew rei--
forced that boys stepmother's OK
goad with his cane SO efectually
that but never mind. So Daniel
Drew bought all his garden sass ol
Jim Fisk In after life Eliphalet
Buckram set up grocery store, and
gave trust to all the poor people,
and never sanded his sugar, and
wouldn't qualify his rum with water
} so he burst up, and the sheriff sold
| him out, and he went to the pool
house. But Daniel Drew kept his
eye on Jim Fisk, and by-and-bye he
gave him partnership in the Erie
| firm, and Jim beat him out of 81
, 100000. This is not a story tor
good little boys. We fear it is too
near the truth.

"And you loved me then-you

"All these years" said Agnes,
and John with one arm drew her
quite close to him.
Kitty opened the door, peeped
in slyly then came forward laugh
ing.
"Dear old John," she said, taking
his one hand in both others. "Can
you forgive me now for the mischief

"Quite heartily" said John, hap
py beyond all expression.
"And you owe me some thanks,
too" said Kitty, laughing, II have

Agnes blushed, and the tears
came into her eyes, as she remem-
bered all the rude things she had
said.
1t was q very quiet wedding, (of
course there was q wedding), and
Mollie readily relinquished all

Agnes was five and twenty, she

they were prettier than geraniums.

A PERIODICAL WIDOW.
How Young Robert COuFted Her
Reward OF Pluck and Perseverance
A Race and q Wife.

p
A Race and wife.
IProm the Chester Pa) Republican,
Another very courtAble widow
was a young lady Of Washiagton,
| Pennsylvania. She became engaged
to young man named Robert,
in 184G. Her father, however, OBJ
jected to this match with one of his
clerks, and when the yonng lady
received a tempting proposal from
q wealthy suitor the paternal in
huence soone ffected a marriage, de-
spite the former engagement.
In less than three months her
husband was killed by kick from
a horse. Robert was a second time
a suitor, but delayed the important
| question until fifteen months had
elapsed, when, to his borrow, she
informed that she was engaged. In
three months thereafter she was
married.
Two years elapsed, when the mar
red couple removed to Syracuse, New
York, where among the victims of
the cholera, when the pestilenee
swept that city, was the second.
Robert again sought her hand, and
when a year had elapsed was on tho
eve of q declaration, when 10 i! he
received an invitation to her we'd
ding. Her late husbands business
was found to be in such a state that
to avoid Immense losses she mar
ried the surviving partner.
Shortly after she removed with
her third husband TO Detroit, Mich
igan, A few years elapsed, when
herself and husband were on a
steamer that was wrecked near But
falo. The husband persisted, and
the wife escaped solely through the
exertions of q friend who was on
board. His gallantry inspired such
sentiments in her breast that she
married her brave preserver a few
months after her third widowhood.
The happy pair removed to Pitts
burg, where the husband was en-
gagged! in mercantile business.
Thither Robert, cherishing his first
love, followed them. One day as
he was passing the husbands store
be saw a terrible commotion. Rush
ing in, he beheld the mangled corpeo
Of that gentleman on the floor. A
fierce of rice, in being hoisted to
the upper story, had fallen through
The traps, killing him instantly.
Robert inquired if any
one had been sent to inform his wife,
md was told that the book-keeper
lad just gone.
Robert started for Allegheny City,
where the deceased had resided, at
,he top of his speed. The book
keeper was Just ahead Of him, and
rom past experience, knowing the
virtue of prompt action, and appre-
lending that the clerk had designs
IN the widow, he ran for dear Life,
side by side. The race continued
lntil they reached Hand-street
bridge, when the clerk was obliged
o stop to pay the tolls, while
Robert, a commuter, passed over
Without stopping. Reaching the
louse Of the widow first, Robert
old the heartrending news, and in
he same breath made q proposal
If marriage. He was accepted.
True to her promise, after year Of
mourning she became his wife. All
Ter husbands had died wealthy.
Robert was comfortably fixed after
III. This case is q remarkable ex-
lmple Of what pluck and persover-
lnce will do for man, while at the
;ame time it teaches q lesson on the

THERE was q fresh example Of the
worthlessness of expert testimony
during q recent trial for forgery at
Tauton. A couple of experts dis
posed of the prisoner at the bar
very summarily. When Mr. Henry
D. Hyde, of Boston, his counsel,
handed the smartest expert four old
envelopes and asked him if he
could tell whose hand writing was
on them, the witness, after taking
time to examine them, said that
"the superscriptions on the en-
velopes were all in the same hand
writing, and all written by the man
who forged the check" Mr. Hyde
at once took the stand, and taking
the envelopes, said "This one was
written by the clerk of the Boston
Water Power Company, this one by
q friend of mine in New York, the
third is my own handwriting, and
the fourth is the prisoners" sub
stantiating his statement by pro-
ducing the letters received in some
of the envelopes.-Spr Springfield Re

John Adams.

John Adams, the father Of John
Quincy Adams, used to say, "When
l was boy 1 had to study the
Latin grammar, butt was dull, and
l hated it. My father was anxious
to send me to college, and there
fore l studied the grammar till |
could bear it no longer, and, going
to my father, told him l did not
like study, and asked him for other
employment. 1t was opposing
his wishes, and he was quick in his
answer.
"Well, John, said he. eff Latin
grammar does not suit you, you
may try ditching-perhaps that
will. My meadow yonder needs a
ditch, and you may putby grammar
and dig.
"This seemed a delightful change,
and to the meadow l went, but soon
found ditchlng harder than Latin,
and the first forenoon, was the long
est l ever experienced. "
"That day l ate the bread Of Ia
Dor, and right glad was | when
night came on. That night l made
comparison between Latin gram
mar and ditching, but said not a
word about it. "
81 dug the next forenoon, and
wanted to return to Latin at dinner
time But it was too humiliating,
aud could not do it. At night
toll conquered pride, and l told my
father-one of the sweetest lessons
in my hfe-that, if he chose, l
would go back 20 Latin grammar. "
"He wasglad of it, and if l have
gained any distinction, it has been
owing to my days labor in that
abominable ditch.
Daniel Webster did not like now
lug any better than John Adams
liked ditching. His father told him
to hang" his scythe to suit him
self, and he went and hung it on Il
tree. However, both Adams and
Webster worked harder than most
of the boys. nowadays do with
their muscles.

FALL WORK I'm GARDEN AND OR.
CHARD.

This is almost the season for fall trans.
planting; the nurseryman and experienced
fruit grower knows just what be has to do
and how to do it. The unskilled must use
care in all he does. Set the tree or herbace-
Gus shrub or root in well prepared soil, and
at the approach of severe cold, raise bank
of earth about or over it.
1t is now the time to set out rhubarb;
with spade cut in the center the old
crown; take out half of it; divide up INFO
strong eyes, or two small ones. Set out in
rich soil, and cover up the crown, now,
with four to six inches of well-rotted
manure.
Asparagus should now be transplanted
from the seed bed to the spot where it is to
remain.
The holiyhock needs dividing and reset
ting, if you expect to get bloom the coming
season. Carnations, picotees, chrysanthe-
NUNS and a hundred other herbaceous
plants should be divided and set out-all
to be protected before severe cold sets in.
All trees set this fall need stake, and
the tree tied securely to the same as soon
as set. The earlier you can set a tree in
the fsn Of the year, the more safely it will
pass through the winter. The soil is now
in good cOndition-dry, warm and friable,
without any clods or Jumps. There are
many shrubs that need dividing and prun-
ing a few days later than this, and the
ground mulched with leaves around the
roots and stems.
The complete preparation of the ground
should never be lost sight of by those who
intend to transplant in the fall, and the next
most important thing is to mulch thoroughly
what you do transplant. With care in all
this, fail setting will probably give you per-
feet success.

BOLD CaALLENG &.
From the Turf, Field and Farm.

IIOu tllC L anu dIlQs
There is nothing tnat tends so much to
promote success in breeding and training
If thoroughbred stock as the spirit of emu
lation; and, as general thing, there are no
men so susceptible to its influences as gen.
tlemen identified with turf sports, whether
as owners of stock or otherwise. It was
this feeling that has led to all the great turf
events which at the time of their occurrence
created new epoch in our turf history. 1t
was to this spirit of emulation that we owe
the great match between Eclipse and Hen
ry, in 1923, when Eclipse, the Northern
champion, defeat ID his Southern antago-
mist in hard-contested race of four mile
heats; and the Boston and Fashion match
in 1912, when Fashion defeated the hither-
to invincible "Old Wnitenose," the hero of
forty races, thirty of them at four-mile
heats, and earned for herself the proud
title of Queen of the Turf; aud the great
races between Wagner aud Grey Eagle,
in 1899, when the former defeated
the Kentucky favorite, Grey Eagle,
in two hard-fought battles Of four mile
heats each, Grey Eagle breaking down in
the second contest; and the match between
Peytons and Fashion, when the former
wrenched from Fashion her laurels as
Queen of the Turf; and the proposed mee--
lug of Kentucky and Aster0id, ia the Iuau-
guration Stakes at jerome Park, 10 settle
the merits of the rival sons of Lexington,
the latter breaking down on the eve of the
race; and, later still, the meeting of Long
fellow and Harry Bassett in the Monmouth
Cup last summer, when the sou Of Lean
ingtOn beat his hitherto invincbie rival,
and Harry Bassett turned the tables on him
two weeks after in the San atoga Cup, when
Longfellow broke down. 1t is such occa-
sions as these, amid the splendJrs of
summers sun, with all the principal pat
rons of the turf present, assisted by Wo-
mans smile, that lend epchautment and
excitement to turf sports and make victory
dou6ly valuable.
Keeping in view the value that such
great races have been to the American turf,
annexed viii be found one Of the boldest
challenges ever issued BY any turfman in
America. We are authorized TO lay il be-
fore our readers, and expect that the chal-

LOVER as A FERrILrzER.

b DR.. Voslcker, chemist to the Royal Agri-
cultural Society Of England, has been
known for his useful labors for thirty years,
and Is considered the highest authority in
Great Britain, in rural science. He says:
"The clover plants take nitrogen from
the atmosphere aud manufacture it into
their own substance, which, on decomposi-
ton Of the clover roots and leaves, pro-
duces abundance of ammonia. On
clover soil once mown and left for seed,
found in the three layers OF soil larger
per centage of Nitrogen than where the
clever was mown twice. In the first six
inches Il was .189; in the next six inches,
.l34; and in the lowest six inches, .OS9.
Now, the total quantity of nitrogen calcu-
lated per acre Tor twelve inches OF soil,
amounted on that portion OF the field moEn
twice for clover, to 6.249l pounds; whereas
the total amount of nitrogen in twelve
inches II soil on that portion Of the field
which was mown only once aod left TO
stand for seed, was S.1263 pounds; thus
producing an excess of Nitrogen on an acre
OF soil. twelve inches deep, calculated as
ammonia, on the part of the field mown
once All then cut for seed, amounting to
1892 p. unds"
j. Noelcker appears to believe that all
q 'Togen came from the decomposition
{; % IUots, leaves and stems of clover;
L-4 this opinion has bean generally receiy-
