"Hosea Bigelow" Abroad.

A Boston correspondent Of the st.
Louis Globe is responsible for this
anecdote of the author of "The Bige-
low Papers," James Russell Lowell
went to Europe, and arriving in Lon.
don, deposited certain evidences OF
credit with Barring Brothers. Now,
"Hosea" is a peor hand at figures,
and does not like the worries incidental
TO a strict debit and credit account, SO
leaving England he instructed Messrs:
B. Bros. to notify him when he should
have drawn down the funds in their
hands to a certain sum mentioned. In
the course of time Hosea" received o
polite epistle, stating that his deposit
was depleted to the amount mentioned
as his limit, and he very dutifully re-
turned to England, and soon after to
this country, taking the complicated aca
count rendered as quite satisfactory as
regarding his money transactions with
his bankers while in Europe. Now,
sometime after reaching home, he one
day received solid-looking letter from
England, which proved to be from the
great bankers, Barring Bros, which
notified him of mistake in his account
with the house, and explained it some
thing as follows: Certain OF their
clerks, being foreigners, pronounced a
with the long sound, very like r, and one
of these, in calling off the amounts to be
debited to the customers of the house
at the close of banking hours one DAY,
called "James Il. Lowell, f5OO," and
gave his pronunciation Of the A. which
caused the entry clerk to charge that
amount to James r. Lowell, or Hosea.
This mistake they wished to reetlfy ny
some means, and after informing him
that the amount and interest thereon
was subject to his draft, intimated that
should it be his desire they would IN
vest the balance in way that would be
advantageous to himself. Now, Hosea.
thought he had spent the money, and
looked upon his credit at Messrs. Bar
ines' in the light of an extra not count
ed upon, so he signi6ed his willingness
to accede to the proposal of the bankers.
A few months later he received notice
that the snug ittlesum Of thirty-seyen1
hundred and some odd dollars awaited
his order in the hands of his bankers.

A Joke on O Bishop.

A good story is told of well-known
Episcopal Bishop of neighboring dio-
cese. We refrain from givingthe name,
from appreciable motives of delicacy.
The Bishop is very staid, glum sort OF
q good man, and the last one in the
world to enjoy joke, especially one on
himself. A waggish friend, meeting him
the other day in car. astonished him
by exclaiming, after a reference to bus
high-church principles:
"Why, Bishop, I hear that on Easter
you appeared inyourpulpit with crown
and palm !"
"What p exclaimed the Bishop, in
astonishment. Nonsense You know
better"
eyes" repeated the other, with q
crown on your head and palm in your
hand"
at is ibell Who could have start
ed such a story?" responded the dis
tinguished prelate, warmly. But,
pshaw it is idle to talk about it /; it is
so absurd"
The conversation was changed, but
the Bishop did not forget his friends
words; they preyed on his mind and
worried him !; he was afraid the libelious,
atrooious report should get into the pa
pers, and then it would become popu.
farly accepted fact which there would
be no denying.
He sought his friend the next day at
his office, for the purpose of learning
the origin of the outrageous story; but
the other, who is considerable of wag,
sorely vexed the spirit of the accom-.
plished prelate before he would make
any satisfactory explanation, and then,
with laugh and twinkle of the eyes,
he exclaimed:
"Why, Bishop, haven't you crown
on your head, and palm tnyour hand
See ?" :,
The Bishop was so much pleased with
the explanation that he succeeded in
raising laugh; though the expression
of fierce solemnity that settled on bis
features as he left shortly after leads
his friend to believe that he did not
thoroughly enjoy the joke.

ExhaIation of Moisture by Plants.

DIR. DIETRICH, the superintendent OF
the experimental station near Cassel,
communicates the following results OF
experiments to determine the amount
of moisture exhaled by plants: First,
for the same species Of plant the
amount of vegetable matter produced
is in direct proportion to the amount OF
water exhaled; third, the amount OF
moisture exhaled varies with the differ
ent species of plants. According to the
amounts exhaled, the experiment estab-
fishes the following order; buckwheat,
clover, then lupines, beans, and oats
equal; summer rye and wheat equal;
and last, barley.

The Currant.

THERE are few of the small fruits more
grateful to the palate, and perhaps none
so generally neglected, as the currant.
1t is an exceedingly gross feeder and to
insure the best results, even on rich
soils, liberal manuring should be resorted
to. Our plan, as with strawberries, is to
plant one-third of the area intended for
this fruit each year, grubbing up the old
plants after they have borne two full crops.
When you set the young plants which
may be obtained from cuttings of the pre-.
vious year, dig a good shovelful of COM
post manure in each place where you set
a plant, and when you cut out the old
wood after the fruiting season, fork in an
additional shovelful Of manure about the
plant.
The reason for removing the paintings
as heretofore noticed is that the borers do
not seriously injure the young plants, and,
by this renewal system, you always have
young, thrifty plants for fruiting. If the
borers do not depredate upon your bushes,
the surplus, if any, may be readily sold at
the nearest village, for Notwithstanding,
or rather perhaps because of, the general
neglect Of this fruit the best samples, as
with strawberries, always command a
good price.-Wcstern Rural.

THE thriftiness of Mrs. Weller, whose
first husbands garments so fortunately
fitted the elder Samivel, is equaled if not
surpassed by that of widow of Portland,
in the canny State of Maine Perceiving
that her adored departed's silver coffin
plate was lying about generally in the
way, and desiring very much pair of
handsome new gold bowed spectacfes, she
invited a passing peddler to barter of
the same. Leaving the room for an in
slant she was shocked on returning to find
that lovely coffln-plate and the merchant
alike gone. Her frantic grief was some
thing too sacred to dwell upon. The pO-
lice, however, recovered the silver treas
ure, and her calmness, if not her happi-
ness, is restored.

Trials Of an Honest Legislator.

1.-THE Man in the Gallery" writes to the
Albany Times:
A gentleman who now occupies a seat
in the upper branch, but at the time was
member of the Assembly, relates the
following:
Perkins was as honest man as ever
set foot in Albany. Money wouldn't
buy him, and knew it, but I thought
would have little fun with him: SO I
went down to his room one evening and
said, perkins, what do you think of the
underground railroad bill! Are you 60
ing to vote for it?"
"Well," said Perkins, II haven't
made up my mind yet exactly. am
inclined to think it is good bill; but
why do ask?'
I thought you were in favor of it,
and as long as you have concluded to 20
for it, just wante d to say to you that
the men interested in it are paying five
hundred dollars for votes, and as it is
coming up on its final passage tomorrow
you can just as we'll have the money as
not; you'll vote for. the bill any
"'Vote for the bill! III be hanged first!'
cried the irate Perkins. "No, sir. If
improper means are being taken to pass
this thing, as you say, for one will vote
against it every time. You can put me
down no."
"Oh, don't care anything about the
bill; I was only trying to do you q favor,
and / think I can yet, for, to tell the
truth, the rival companies are here in full
force and are moving heaven and earth
to defeat it. They are paying the same
amount for noes and as long as you are
bound to vote that way, I'll get you five
hundred dollars all the same"
: "Can such things be!'' exclaimed Per-
kins, rising from bis seat and tearing up
and down the room in . whirlwind Of
righteous wrath and virtuous indignation.

THE CRoPs.-The Pittsburgh C0n,-

The CRops.-The Pittsburgh Con,-
merctaI thus sums up the condition of
the crops in Western Pennsylvania:
"The crops in Western Pennsylvania
are nearly all gathered, and although we
have no figures on which to base an es-
innate, it is safe to say, from the data in
our possession, that the general yield
will compare favor BILE with last year.
The two seasons of 1872 and 1873 were
very much alike. The early spring, in
both years, was cold and wet, followed
by long dry period in May and June.
The fall crops, however, came better out
of the winter this year than last, and
the yield is consequently much better,
In the region Immediately around this
city, the hay crop is short and deficient,
although not more so than in 1872, but
in those sections that we're visited with
showers during the dry period, better
than last year, Corn, however, is every
where backward, and the oats crop is
very short in the straw, as we'll as de-
ficient in the grain. The corn may yet
catch up, with good growing weather,
but the very cold nights which have
characterized the season thus far have
not beeu favorable to its rapid growth.
Potatoes through fear of the potato bug,
which worked such ruin last year, were
not so largely planted as usual; but the
bug has not been as destructive as vas
expected, and we may therefore look for
a yield equal to last years. Taken al
together, the general crop throughout
Western Pennsylvania cannot be said to
be a good one, or up to the average; but
is better than that which preceded it.
The production of fruit, however, is
very short whilst that of 1872 was very
full"
