EXTRA ORDINA VENTURE.

THAT was rather singular adven-
ture which befell Capt McDaniels,
Canonsburg, Pa, merchant. The Cap
tain started to New York in October last
to buy goods, for which purpose he car
ried with him $1,000 in greenbacks
In crossing over from Jersey City he
fell in with an agreeable stranger. While
walking up the street Git was night the
stranger proposed cup of coffee, which
the bucolic merchant accepted. They
sauntered into coffee-house, and, after
drinking two cups of the beverage, Capt.
McDaniels lost all consciousness. After
Il while he awoke up to find that he had
been drugged and robbed of everything
valuable about his person. He again
lapsed into insensibility, and when con-
seriousness returned the second time he
discovered that he was confined in the
hold of a ship, far out at sea. From the
ship he was silently transferred to a
yawl-boat, and by two sailors rowed to
the shore, some miles off, where he was
left to his own solitary reflections. He
crept into the bushes and waited for the
dawn. Shortly three horsemen passed
by, and hailing them, he found himself n
prisoner to three soldiers, speaking n
| tongue with which he was unacquainted
They treated him with great indignity,
claiming him to stockade where ne
groes were already confined. One of the
negroes could speak a little English, and
he gathered that the Spaniards of Cuba
were his captors. He was released by
midnight attack of negro guerillas on
the post. After wandering for several
days with these partisans he effect
ed his escape, and, guided by the
sound of the guns of Moro Castle,
reached Havana. Here he engaged as
clerk in shipping house, where he re-
NAMED until sufficient funds were OBJ
tanned to go to New Orleans. From the
Crescent City he returned to his home
in Pennsylvania, where he arrived a few
days ago.
MORAL: When you visit the city be
careful about forming acquaintance
with agreeable strangers; and, above all,
if one of them asks you to take a cup of
coffee or " SMILE" avoid him as you
would a viper. Capt. McDaniels' expe-
rience is hut slight cxaggeration of that
of thousands of others, as the columns
of the daily press in all the large cities
attest. chicago Ledger.

The Atmosphere of Spring.

With every change Of season we have change II
the hygienic character of the air. In the spring il
is imprcgnatcd especially in low-lying, wet dis.
tricts, with mephitic vapors, which generate chlls
and fever, rheumatism, indigestion, biiousness
and diseases Of the organs of respiration. 1t is.
therefore, particularly necessary, at this time OF
the year. to invigorate and regulate the system SO
to enable it to repel the morbid influences to
which it is more less subjected. The stomach
should be toned, the bowels freed from bstruc-
tions, the blood purified, and the nerves braced
and strengthened. This can be easily done. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters are everywhere procura-
BILE; and in the whole range Of remedies and pre-
ventivcs prescribed by the faculty, recommend
ed through the press there is not one TIL com
and perfect harmlcssness. 1t is positive antidote
to malaria. Whoever takes it habitually may
breathe the atmos phcre of the worst fever and
ague locality without danger. Damp and chilling
winds make little or no impression on the organ
ization reinforced with this powerful vegetable in
vigorant, and consequently it is good safeguard
against asthma, coughs, colds and other pulmona-
ny complaints. 1t is not recommended remedy
for this latter class # maladies, but simply a
means Of strengthening the system against the
aerial conditions and changes which often pro
ducc them. AS Il spring invigorant and Alternative,
it will be found extremely beneficial to persons
who are peculiarly sensitive to unhealthy atmos-
pheric influences.

We do not mention the subject of car
ing for early lambs because farmers are
not aware of their duties, but as a re-
hinder. 1t is well known that for mar
ket an early lamb is worth more than a
late one, and it follows that extra care
should be taken of the first. 1t is not
economy to attempt to watch the flock
in the field, and assist the lambs as they
appear, but provision should be made for
their protection before the period. Ewes
that are took to suckle should be sepa-
rated from the flock and put where they
will not be subject to exposures even if
the lambs should come on a stormy night
Sheep have again become valuable, both
for the wool and meat they furnish, and
these should be incentives to watchful-
ness if humanity does not lead to it.
Where lambs become, chilled take them
at once to the house, and after being in
warm room for half an hour put them
under the stove where it is quite hot, and
give them milk from the mothers until
they become able to walk, and then take
them back to the sheep. If the mother
is not inclined to own her offspring, shut
the two up in a small pen or box togeth-
er for day or two, and hold the eve a
few times for the lamb to draw his ra-
tions.-Ohio Farmer.

TO Glenn Brass.

Rub the surface of the metal with rot,
ten-stone and sweet oil, then rub off with
piece of Canton flannel and polish with
soft leather. A solution of oxalic acid
rubbed over furnished brass with cot
ton rag soon removes the tarnish, rem
derlng the metal bright. The acid must
be washed off with water, and the brass
rubbed with whitening in powder and
soft leather. When the acids are en-
ployed for removing the oxide from brass,
the metal must be thoroughly washed
afterwards, or it will tarnish in few
minutes after being exposed to the air.
A mixture of muriatic acid and alum dis
solvedln water imparts acolor to golden
brass articles that are STEPPED in it for a
few seconds.

4 coon !SHOOTIST.

The killing of the two McVeigh
brothers by Officer Reinert, in Bridge
port, on Wednesday night, has its par
allel in a similar tragedy which was en-
acted on Market street, in this city,
some ten years ago. Two brothers,
sailors, were returning, at late hour,
to their vessel from dance in Lind S
block. Being intoxicated and very
boisterous, a guardian of the peace took
them in charge, and was quietly escort
ing them to the Armory, the prisoners
apparently manifesting disposition to
accompany him peaceably. Suddenly,
and without any warning, one of the
brothers turned about, faced the police
man, and, with his clenched fist, struck
him tremendous blow that felled him to
the ground. Both Immediately fled.
The officer, with astonishing agility, re-
gained his feet, drew his revolver, and
fired at the retreating figures as they
sped through the darkness with an aim
so unerring as to render it one of the
most remarkable instances of shooting
on record. Only two shots We're fired,
and the two rash and unfortunate
brothers fell dead, each pierced by a
bullet. ( chicago Ledger.

THE PEA Oh CROP FAILURE.

IT is not very pleasant to hear, thus
early in the season, that the peach crop
is ruined in Illinois, Indiana and Michi-
gan, but it seems there is no reason to
doubt it. A writer in the Chicago
Tibnac, whose accuracy is vouched for
by that journal, says: "The present
aspect is that we are to have another
season, as to peaches, like that of 1856
| have just come from the peach region,
and know whereof I speak. Even apple
trees have been injured in some places
in Michigan, among young orchards,
and light crop of berries also may be
anticipated" The news from the States
further east is not very much more en-
couraging, and, unless something of an
unusually favorable nature should oc-
cur, housekeepers will be likely to find
peaches too expensive a luxury to be in
dulged in this year.

A MOST melancholy thing recently hap
pened to a young gentleman i'll Paris.
He had been dining out, and winning
pretty freely, and as he was going to the
bal d'opera, he submitted himself to
the operations of street shoe black.
Leaning back in his chair, he was asleep
before the polishing was concluded
but when the juvenile artist found out
the condition of his customer, he hast
ened to improve it. He gently drew off
the boots, added his victims purse and

brushes, and departed. The gentleman
was at last aroused by his cold feet, and
ANONYMOUSLY made the best of his way
home. There was no dancing for him
that night.

THE HISH REPUBLIC

The Federal Republican idea in Spain,
which has recently called out an lntima-
ton of protest from the other Euro
pean powers, has strong hold upon the
Spanish people, and a strong following
among Spanish politicians. Their idea
would create Republic similar to our
own, the Provincial Councils being
analogous to our State Legislatures, and
each Province havig Governor repre-
senting the sovereignty of the Province.
The Republic has already been divided
into thirteen Provinces, which are styled
the Republican Confederation of Spain,
as follows: /, The four Provinces of
Galicia, 1887, 1872 2, The Asturias and
Old CASTLE, 1,7s9,2 POS; 3, Burgos, Ma
varre, and the Basque Provinces, l, 1885,
073; 4, Aragon, Rioja, and Soria,
1,0s2, 946; 5, Catalonia, 1,744, O52; 6,
Valencia and the Balearic Isles, $780,
434; 7, New CASTLE, 1,2S9, AS; 8, Es-
tramadura, Mancha, and Murcia, $751;
300; 9, Oceanic Andalusia and the
Canary Islands, l, 755, ZIG; 10, Mediter-
ranean Andalusia, 1,712, 264 IL, Cuba,
,n4, sos; II, Porto Rico, GAG, 1872 !; 13,
The Philippine Archipelago, 2,679,500
Should the Federal Republican idea pre-
vail, of which, however, there is not the
slightest probability at present, the
above-named Provinces would be the
equivalents of our States.

A ROYAL SCANDAL,

PAINFUL rumor comes across the
waters that the Marquis of Lorne and
his royal bride have quarreled and sep
arated. We do not credit the story,
though it may involve certain sub
stratum of truth. Queen Victoria would
hardly allow any such public scandal
The Cincinnati Gazetts, commenting on
this subject, informs us that soon after
the Princess Royal married the Grown
Prince of Prussia, the young couple had
a sad falling out, ending in the husband
kicking his young wife down stairs. The
outraged wife fled home to England
She met with little or no sympathy, how
ever, and was sent back to Berlin with
out delay, and amicable relations were
restored, which have since ripened into
genuine affection. Such, at least, have
been told lis as facts, on pretty good
authority. We expect, therefore, to
hear a contradiction of the rumor i'll re-
gard to the Lornes, or, at any rate, a
very essential modification of the circum-
stances as at present stated.

WHAT with the protracted strike of
the golfers, on the one hand, and the
growing scarcity and DEAFNESS of the
coal supply, on the otner hand, the III
dustrial situation in England is becom-
ing decidedly grave. Some three hum
bred furnaces, equal to one-seventh the
entire numbcr-were put out of work in
the North of England iron district a
couple of weeks ago. An immense
amount of distress has been caused by
the lockout. 1t is reported that from
the latter part of December up to the
middle of last month 10000 iron work
ers, in one district alone, have forfeited
as much as $2,000,000, receiving only
from the golfers a scanty pittance of
$4,000. 1t will thus be seen that the
golfers are not only inflicting suffering
on themselves and their families by
their obstinacy, but also on many other
trades and occupations whose prosperity
is OF vital Importance to that country.
England without coal is England shrunk
in influence and power. No wonder
that the political economists are becom-
ing alarmed.

When in New York city, last Deem
Der, we noticed that operations were 60
ing on at great rate in the way of trans
planting trees of extra size to some of
the parks. On this subject the Western
R,ral says:
The transplanting of large trees of
from ten to eighteen inches in diameter
of stem is practiced as a regular branch
of business in our larger cities. One
operator near Chicago keeps nearly a
score of teams engaged during the winter
season in this work. The trees are care
fully dug around, leaving trench en-
circling the ball of earth attached to the
tree, which, when frozen solid, is under
mined and placed upon strong wagons,
built especially for this purpose, and
transported wherever necessary, the
whole mass often weighing several tons,
the price being sometimes as high as
800 for q single tree. In this connec-
ton We may note the removal of an i'm
mense beech tree as mentioned by a for
eigh journal:
1t is nearly fifty feet high, the diane
ter of the branches tifty-eight feet, and
the circumference of the stem at about
foot from the ground seven feet eight
inches. The mass of soil and undis-
turbed roots measured sixteen by four
teen feet, the roots extending six feet be-
yond, and the whole weighing consider
ably over twenty tons. There was a
platform of strong timbers and rollers,
jackscrews, planks and pully- blocks
brought into requisition.

that this part of the road will be finished

AGRICULTURAL.
Prepare for the Spring Work,

Prepare for the busy work of spring,
1t is close at hand. And the busy sea-
son will last some months. Are you
ready for it? Have you wood enough
hauled, cut and piled up? Have you
plenty of -four to last till harvest? Is
your harness, and especially your horse
collars, fit for the draft of your faithful
horses Is seed wheat, corn, oats, bar
ley, ETC., cleaned and all ready? Are
your plows in repair for the campaign
Have you made arrangements for the
pasturage of your stock the coming sum
mer? Are your fences in good repair :?
Is everything in good order about your
house, SO you will not be detained when
busy times come? Is the pump, or wind
lass, or bucket at your well in good or
der? Has your cellar been cleaned of
all filth and garbage, the effects of frozen
vegetables? About the barn, have your
pigs, calves, colts and lambs been
trimmed, and marked, and branded?
Are your corn cribs, which have been
left uncovered all winter, now prepared
for the spring rains? Have your reaper
and mower, which have stood the SHOWS
and winds of winter, been removed to
shelter to protect them from rain and
sunshine? How is your corn planter ?
When you are ready to plant rather late
in the season, will you find some casting
lost, broken, or worn out, and then have
to wait till you send to Chicago for re-
pairs? Have you made arrangements
with your neighbors to join forces in har
vest, to save buying another reaper, and
save exorbitant prices for harvest
hands? Have you already arranged for
few fruit trees, to fill up the vacancies
in your orchard? All these things, and
hundreds of others, should be attended
to this month. And good husbandmen
would not neglect them.
