An English Story of American Acting.

On one occasion Mr.. Edwin Forrest, then
a young man, gave tremendous display Of
really powerful acting. He was supposed
to represent a Roman warrior, and to be at
tackled by six minions of detested tyrant.
At the rehearsal Mr.. Forrest found great
deal of fault with the supers who conde-
scended to play the minions. They were too
tame. They didn't 60 in as if it were real
fight. Mr.. Forrest stormed and threatened
the supers sulked and consulted. At length
the Captain Of the supers inquired, in his
local slang, eyer want this to be a bully
fight, eh ?" 81 do" replied Mr.. Forrest.
Gall right" rejoined the captain, and the
rehearsal quietly proceeded.
In the evening the little theatre was
crowded, and Mr.. Forrest was enthusiastic
cally received. When the fighting scene
occurred the great tragedian took the cen
tire of the stage, and the six minions enter
ed rapidly and deployed in skirmishing Or
der. At the cue "Seize him ~ one minion
assumed pugilistc attitude, and struck a
blow straight from the shoulder upon the
prominent nose Of the Roman hero, another
raised him about six inches from the stage
by well directed kick, and the others
made ready to rush in for decisive tusse
For moment Mr.. Forrest stood astounded :,
his broad chest heaving with rage, his great
eyes flashing fire, his sturdy legs planted
like columns upon the stage. Then came
q few minutes of powerful acting, at the
end of which one super was seen sticking
head foremost in the bass drum in the Or
chestra, four were having their wounds
dressed in the green-room, and one, finding
himself in the flies, rushed out upon the
roof of the theatre, and shouted Fire" at
the top of his voice; while Mr.. Forrest,
called before the curtain, bowed his thanks
pantingly to the applauding audience, who
looked upon the whole affair as part of the
piece, and chad never seen Forrest act so
splendidly."

Deadly Struggle OH a Tight Rope.

Little did the tens of thousands of men,
women and children who throngcd the
public square of Agrum, Croatia on the
18th of August, anticipate that they were
about to witness a spectacle such as has,
perhaps, never been seen before a mortal
struggle in mid-air. The occasion of the
gathering was performance on the tight
rope. The acrobats Andreas Kolter and
Francis Pergowitch, were to appear ON the
rope, which had been stretched from a
window in the fifth story Of the courthouse
to a window in an opposite house, a dis
lance of $50 feet. The acrobats were to
meet midway, and then to pass each other.
When the clock struck IL, the acrobats
emerged from their respective windows,
dressed in tights, and without balance
poles. Kolter walked rather cautiously,
while Pergowitch came to meet him from
the opposite direction, with a nervous,
quick step. AT last they met, and the
suspense of the crowd underneath chang
ed the next moment to feeling OF
Undesirable horror. Pergowitch sudden
ly uttered an angry exclamation, and dealt
Kolter terrible blow on the head. Kol.

ceeded in clutching the rope with one
hand, while with the other he grasped the
left leg of his assailant. Pergowitch now
fell, likewise, but with his right arm around
the rope, SO that he hung upon it in com
parative security.
And now began life and death struggle

was, of course, informed that he could not
go. A court martial was Immediately APP
pointed to try him, and they adjudged
Tom to be spy and sentenced him to be
hung that evening at shutdown. In search
ing him they found a small greasy buck
skin bag next to his skin, tied around his
neck by q leather thong. Upon opening
the bag they found it contained a hand

worn for four years as a fetch, and he
said "dat muffin could trouble him while
he wore dat" A young French officer who
was present and who was one of Washing
tons aids, now become greatly. excited,
and begged them to open the watch and
look inside the case and see if they could
find any pane there, for said he, it greatly
resembles one that belonged to my brother
who has been lost to his friends for the
last four years. Upon opening the watch
the name of IN. Louis De Lassee" WAS
plainly visible.
Tom was told that rs he had not long
to live, he had better tell M. DE Lassee how
he came by his brothers watch. The hard
ened villain now turned of an ashy hue,
and trembling like an aspen leaf, made a
full confession of all the details of the ter
rible murder. He asserted that after the
murder he had returned to the river, and
crossing it had made his way to Philadel-
phia, where he had been ever since. He told
them that he had believed that while he
wore the watch as fetch nothing could
harm him that a Voodoo doctor had told
him so, but he now found his mistake.
He further stated that if the guard had not
espied him he would have been in Wash
ington's tent in three minutes, and that it
was his intention to kill our beloved gene
raj, as he wished to do all that he could
for King George.
The watch was given to Philip De Las
see, the brother of the unfortunate pedler.
At shutdown the black demon was hung by
the neck until he was dead; death which
he richly deserved.
Retribution overlook him when he least
expected it. No doubt in his foolish, su-
perstitious ignorance, he thought that the
stolen watch, after it had been powwowed
by the Voodoo doctor, would enable him
to go through the American camp and
kill our master spirit, and then return in
trimph to the British lines, and be enrich
ed with English guineas; but he was mis-
taken.
The way ofthe transg ressor is hard, and
Tom found it so. MARS.

Large and Small Seed Potatoes.

Perhaps in no one department of farm
ing have more experiments been made than
in planting large and small potatoes in Or
der to test their comparative value; and
still the question is unsettled. In many
instances these experiments have shown
that the largest crops have been produced
from large or medium sized potatoes, cut in
two pieces Next to these, medium sized
potatoes, planted whole, gave the greatest
yield, while the small potatoes gave still
less number of bushels and of smaller tub
ers. Numerous Others have tried similar
experiments, and have stated that small po-
tatoes afforded as heavy crops as the larger
ones planted in any form.
We think it is not difficult matter to
explain this discrepancy in these results.
In the true potato meridian no doubt small
seed will give more nearly equal results
compared with large tubers, than they will
in the climate of Missouri, which is not so
we'll adapted to the perfect development of
these esculents. A small potato contains
as many eyes as large one of the same va
riety. The eyes in the small potato are
small, and the plants or shoots from them
are naturally and necessarily smaller and
weaker than those which start from large,
fully developed tuber. In the natural eli
mate of the potato, which is cool, the plants
come forward slowly, and require nearly
the whole season in which to mature;
hence the plants from the small potatoes,
after they Toxic root and become establish.
ed so rs to find sustenance in the soil, and no
longer depend on supply from the parent
tuber, have time to come forward gradual
ly and form large and substantial plants
before the time for the blossoms to appear
and the fruit to set But in our warm eli
mate, from the ordinary time of planting,
the eyes Immediately start and the plants
are forced prematurely into the formation
of tubers and just at the time the sets be-
gin to put forth, the heat ofsummer sets in,
and the whole growth is accomplished in
few days, and before the stems or vines
have attained half siZe whereas, the vines
from full grown roots possess greater size,
strength and vigor, and are better prepared
for speedy growth and maturity-so that
the unvarying law of nature, that like be-
gets like, is more surely applicable to pota-
toes in our climate than in climates more
favorable to this crop. In favorable sea.
son, crop of potatoes from small seedu4HGy
turn out well, but to continue to cultivate
for number of years from the same seed,
always selecting the small potatoes, will
soon cause the crop to dwindle so as to no
longer pay for the labor of cultivation. In
any event we think it will he found cheap
er to pay the price of large potatoes for
seed, in preference to planting small ones,
though they cost nothing and this con-
clusion is the result of repeated trials.

LEMONS AND SILVER The native Jewell
ers of India never touch silverware with
any abrasive substance. For all articles of
the kind, even the most delicate, the meth
cd of cleaning is by rubbing briskly with
slices of juicy lemons. For delicate jewel
ry the Indians cut large lime nearly in
half, and insert the ornament; they then
close up the halves tightly, and put it away
for few hours. The articles are then re-
moved, rnsed in two or three waters, and
consigned to saucepan of nearly boiling
soapsuds, well stirred about; taken out,
again brushed, rinsed, and finally dried on
metal plate over hot water, finishing the
process by little rub of wash-leather Gf
smooth work.. For every old neglected, and
corroded silver, the article is dipped, with
a slow stirring motion, in rather weak
solution ofcyanide of potassium but this
process requires care and practice, AS it is
by dissolving off the dirty silver the effect
is SO obtained. Green tamarind pods (con-

gents of gold and silver articles than lem

How TO Fatten Cattle.

"The following communication from R.
A. Steele, prominent stock raiser of this
State, to the Droge1s Journal, is full of good
sense, and If stockraisers will follow it, the
quality of cattle sent to market will be
rapidly changed:
The price of cattle fattened for market
depends on the symmetry of the animal as
well as the fat, "style," as shippers term it.
l want here to state that good blood is i'm

make what is termed'a good seller In Or

ing condition from a calf, and in no case
allowed to go hungry. 1t is the starving

be sold at reduced price. No amount of

Pergowitch from the rope, while Pergo-
witch kicked Kolter with his right foot,
and with his left hand endeavored to loos-
en- his antagonists hold. No one was able
to interfere, and the result, it was easy to
foresee, must he the death of one or both of
the acrobats Many women tainted, while
strong men wept like children. What add
ed to the general despair was the appear
ance of Kolter's young wife at the open
window, from which her husband, few
moments before, had set out upon his fatal
walk. Her piteous screams were heard
above the din below, and her appeals to
Pergowitch to spare her husbands life
would have moved the heart of an Apache.
The struggle in mid-air lasted perhaps a
minute when Kolter suddenly uttered a
last cry and lost his hold. He fell to the
ground, striking 1t violently and expiring
instantly.
While the people gathered around the
corpse Of poor Kolter, his murderer on the
tight-rope managed to get on his feet again.
With diabolical expression on his face he
uttered yell of triumph. The project of
police ordered Pergowitch to surrender.
In case he should not do 50 within five min
he would be shot down like dog. Final
ly he raised himself to his feet and ran
quickly to the courthouse window, where
he surrendered, begging that he might be
protected from violence. There was great
danger of his being executed by the peo-
pie, who loudly clamored that the murderer
be given up to them; but the military by
bayonet charge cleared the public square.
Pergowitch, being asked what caused him
to perpetrate this crime, said that there
had been grudge between him and Kol-
ter over since the latter had married young
Rosita serganoff, Polish girl of rare beau
ty. Kolter, in fit Of jealousy, had told
him he knew one or the other of them
must die on this account Andreas Kolter
was the youngest member of the distin-
guished family of acrobats of that name.
