ACCIDENT TO HARRIET BEEoHER
STowE-A jackson (Fla.) despatch of
the 29th ult., says:
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has met
with a very serious accident at her resi-
dence at Mandarin. She and DIR. Stowe
were in their chamber, when she, in
attempting to arrange the drapery Of
her window, stood upon high table.
Having completed her arrangement she
stepped backward, and catching her feet
in her hoop-skirt fell with violence to
the floor, striking the base of her brain
against the sharp edge o the bedstead,
while her back fell squarely upon sitz
bath-tub which was standing near the
table. Mrs Henry Ward Beecher, DR.
Stove and daughter of the unfortu
nate lady rem hastily to her aid. She
was picked up insensible and laid upon
her bed. Everything was done which
cou d be suggested, and the following
morning, Mrs. Stowe was without much
pain in the head, but suffered much in
the back.

A Strange Case.

The Fulton IN. Y.) Times is response
BILE for statement which goes to prove
that, in some instances, transfer of
property to a wife in order to escape
payment of creditors, may be no better
than jumping from the frying pan into
fire." -Four years ago certain gentle
man, now resident of Utica, according
to his own statement, was made the vic
tim of conspiracy to such an extent
that he was obliged to try an experiment
of this kind. Forged checks and notes
were so freely circulated throughout the
State, that it would have taken the pro-
ceeds of his entire estate to have paid
them off. In this emergency. he assign
ed all he possessed to his wife, and ap-
pointed a nephew, as trustee. From
that time be ceased TO be master in his
own honse the wife became icy in her
coldness to him, and he was deprived of
comforts which were essential to a man
verging on his eighty-eighth year. A
newspaper correspondent finally heard
of his distress, and visited him. The re.
suit was an elaborate article, descriptive
of chamber that for squalidness was
only equaled by that of the insane re-
cluse who existed in a single apartment
for twenty-five years, without ever hav-
ing allowed the light of day to penetrate
it. The nephew of the un or.unate gen.
tleman has since brought an action for
libel against the editor who published
the account, but for an obvious reason,
the grand jury refused to indict. Con-
sidering that the gentleman and his wife
had enjoyed forty years of almost un-
interrupted happiness before the deed of
assignment was perfected. the subsequent
conduct of the latter seems all the more
unkind.

AN ENGINEER's ExPERIENCE.-Ac-
cording to the Niagara Falls Gazette one
Of the night engineers in the New York
Central yards at Suspension Bridge ex-
perienced two radically different sensa-
tions in very brief period Of time a
few nights ago. While running his en-
gine he observed man on the track in
the immediate front, but too late to give
the signal of warning before passing the
spot. The ponderous machine was stop
ped as soon as possible and the tremb-
ling engineer took the back track with
gloomy forebodings to look up the corpse.
His feelings can probably be better i'm
agined than expressed when he met the
object of his search coming to meet him
with fists doubled up, aud other indica-
tions not favorable TO the bodily comfort
of the engineer. A speedily executed
right-about-face movement was made,
and the engineer outdistancing his wrath
full pursuer, reached his engine and fled
ingloriously from the scene.

A characteristic story is told of the
Grand Duke Alexis, who is in the naval
service. A year or two ago, when hold
ing the rank of midshipman, the flag.
ship in which he was serving was
wrecked on the coast of Denmark. The
admiral ordered the life-boats to be
lowered, and directed Alexis to take
charge of the first boat The royal
midshipman declined to obey the order
1t was peremptorily repeated Il your
commanding officer, order you into the
boat"
Admiral, l cannot obey you," said
the young prince. 1t would not be.
come the son of an emperor to be the
first to leave the ship. l shall remain
with you till the last"
but | shall put you under arrest for
disobedience of orders as soon as cir.
cumstances will allow me to do sc"
al mean no disobedience, but l can.
not, obey" was the reply.
Four or five of the crew perished in
the transit from ship to shore, and the
admiral and Alexis were the last to land
In hastily constructed tents the rigid
discipline of ship,life was promptly re,
sumed. the young prince was placed
under arrest for disobedience of or1ers
The Russian minister at Copenhagen
was informed of the facts, and tele-
graphed them to the emperor, from
whom he received the following reply,
" | approve the act of the admiral in
placing the midshipman under arrest for
disobedience of orders, and | bless aud
kiss my son for disobeying them"

a SAD SToRY.-The other day, in
New Orleans, a small hearse, bearing a
plain coffin, and followed by two lady
mourners, was seen proceeding to one of
the city cemeteries. The coffin contain
ed the remains of woman who had
sold candy at one of the street corners
for over thirty-fve years. She invaria-
bly, wore dark brown dress, and her
eyes were downcast or entirely shut. Her
history was sad one. She was the on
ly daughter of Mississippi planter, and
developed from girlhood into woman
hood with all the grace and beauty that
a fond fathers heart could wish. At the
height of her youthful beauty she con-
tracted marriage which proved very
unfortunate, and under its withering in
fuences she sank into premature sadness
and decay. Her father then died, and
his vast property descending to her, was
soon squsndered. Finally she was left
a widow, aud afterwards married again,
but still more unfortunate than before,
her second husband deserting her and
committing suicide. She then commenc-
ed the solitary, mournful life which she
has led ever since.

How Varieties are Improved.

Mr. Lane of Vermont, Who has been
so successful with his sugar beet culture
sends us an account of his processes.
He commenced II years ago, selecting
for seed the best six beeis of those that
approached nearest to the particular type
he wished to produce. From the crop
raised from this seed the best six were
again selected and so on until the pres.
ent time, when he claims to have pro.
duced his ideal " of good beet to raise
for the dairy-a beet that for uniformity
of shape, color, solidity, quality, size and
yield is not excelled by any beet or man
gold that is raised in this country.
The largest beets raised the past sea-
son in our vicinity weighed ten to twelve
pounds. The specimens exhibited by
Mr.. Lane at the time of delivering his
address weighed respectively six and ten
pounds. Grown at Is in. 80 in, spa
ces, roots, averaging six pounds, would
make a crop Of nearly thirty-five tons
per acre; roots averaging ten pounds
would make fifty-eight tons per acre,
Mr.. Lane has also made experiments Of
the same character with onions and
he thinks that instead of trying to get
better vegetables by producing new va
rieties, if we would improve the best old
varieties we would attain more uniforms
ty and better quality. He thinks he car
take the Peach blow potato, and by Sc
lecting a few specimens for seed the near
est the type he wishes to produce, con
tinuing this selection for ten or twelve
years produce Peach blows either rounC
or oblong, white or peach-blow in color
and uniform in either of these character
istics." The same Is true of other vege
tables beside roots tomatoes and lndiar
corn are examples in which we can mos
strikingly see the good results of selec
ton. So with flowers. BY choosing 70
seed those specimens only that presen
desirable characters we can each yea
improve upon their beauty. Many va
rieties will detriorate with this care

NAILs.-A scientific journal says when
nails are used in a position in which they
are greatly subjected to air and moisture,
it will always pay to prepare them in
such a manner that they will not rust.
This may be accomplished without any
difficulty by heating quantity of nails
on a shovel and throwing them, while
quite hot, into a vessel containing coarse
oil or melted grease. The nails should
not be SO hot that the grease will be
made to smoke freely. Cut nails pre-
pared in this manner are improved in
every respect.

frame of mind. Approaching these gen.
tlemen, he broke out upon them as fol-
lows: "You manufacturers of public
opinion-you makers of presidents, who
assume to control all mankind-what
mischief are you now Matching p He
spoke in a loud tone, and was heard all
over the ROOM Gen. Scott came up at
the moment, and Mr.. Clay turned upon
him, accosting him in sneering and in
sulting tone: "And here is the redoubt-
able general himself He was fool
enough to suppose that he could be
made president of the United States"
at the same time putting his hand not in
the most gentle manner on SCOTS shoul-

shrank from the contact, remarking,
You forget that is my wounded arm"
You are rotten all over" was the re-
ply. Mr.. Mangum led Mr.. Clay from
the room, and there the affair ended for
the time. Some correspondence ensued,
and serious consequences were appre-
hended. But frie nds interposed, and
Mr. Clay, who was capable of magnan-
imous concession when conscious of be-
ing in the wrong, made a satisfactory
apology.
About this time the interested fattery
of persons seeking office and other graf
ifcations at the hand of the executive
wholly deluded the mind of the presi
