The secret Drawer.


Says the Milwaukee Netcs "A gentleman
residing on the South Side, and for many
years resident Of Milwaukee, Is In daily er-
pectation Of the arrival Of an aunt, on short
visit, the history Of whose later years sur
passes anything In fiction. She was born
and reared In New England, and has lived
there oil her lifetime, being now past sixty
years Of age. She was married In early life
to Captain Knight, o scafaring man, and
bore him sons aud daughters, several Of whom
are living, married and comfortably settled.
About sixteen years ago her husband sailed
on his final voyage to Cuba, and no word
from him, his vessel or crew has ever been
received since. The ship undoubtedly foun-
dered and carried down oil on board. Mrs.
Knight struggled on few years, reared her
children, who remained home at tho time Of
her misfortune, and, in doing so, exhausted
the last remnant Of property left by her hus-
band, and finally broke down In health under
the accumulated weight Of years, misfortune
and poverty. Her youngest son, Just mar
rled, furnished her home for short time,
aud then refused to shelter her longer Her
other children, each In turn, declined TO bur-
den themselves with mothers support, or to
do anything towards procuring her home.
She finally came on the town as paupcr,
and was knocked off TO the lowest bidder for
her support, and was for several years n
poor old broken-hearted creature, unable
to more than knit stockings and assist in
tending children. Previous to becoming 20
utterly destitute, she had sold of her furni-
turc, piece at time, TO keep the wolf from
the door and, among other articles, sold
her husbands old secretary to townsman
and acquaintance. He used II q few years,
and then knocked II to pieces as rubbish. In
doing this, he found In O secret drawer a
psid-up insurance on Captain Knights life
for ten thousand dollars In the Etna Life
Insurance Company Of Hartford, Conn. Be-
Ing an honest man, and knowing Mrs.
Knights location and dcstitutlon, he hunted
her up, took her to Hartford, and sho act.
ually procured the payment Of the entire
sum. The officers Of the company informed
her that her husband paid one hundred dol.
lars as advance premium Just before sailing,
and that they had long been waiting for the
presentation Of the policy for payment. Her
graceless children were not long In hearing
Of mothers good fortune, and have been
vieing with each other ever since In kind at.
tcntions to the old lady, and pressing her to
come and live with them, and make theii
houses her home, &c, &c. She has sense
enough, however, to take such professions
for what they are worth, and has resolved to
maintain her independence to the end Of her
days. The name Of Mrs. Knights nephew Ii
known 10 all old settlers In the Eighth ward
and Is at the service OF any one who doubt,

A London journal gives the following ac-
count Of Canadian romancei "Just thirty
years ago." runs the story, "a little child
three years old was playing on the stoop Of
Its fathers house In Richardson street, Que
bee. For some reason the childs nurse was
out Of the way for time, and no one kept
watch on its movements When the family
came to look for the little onc--a great favor
lite with all-it was gone. Inquiries were
instantly made In every direction, but In vain.
Night was coming on, but the whole suburb
was searching, and through the long hours Of
darkness the distracted parents, aided by the
neighbors and police, hunted through the
city. Next day reward was offered, and
the hunt was kept up more assiduously
than before. All was fruitlcss. Weeks,
months and years rolled away, and the child
was unhoard Of. AZ last the family mourned
their treasure as dead. Whatever Its fate,
there seemed no earthly chance that they
would ever hear Of Il more.
And yet about SIX weeks ago there came
denouen'ent TO that story Of real life so odd
and unexpected as to deserve record among
the much-talked -of cases wherein llfes actual
events transcend those Of fiction. One morn
ing last May gentleman went from Quebec
to Montreal, and, being In tho latter city,
| stepped into shop to buy hat. This gen.
tlcman was friend Of the family who had
lost the child, and whose name was Richard.
He observed on entering the shop that the
keepers name was Richmond. This triiing
| and partial coincidence would have made no
impression had he not directly after noticed
| q surprising resemblance between Richmond
the halter and the Richard family Of Quebec.
Going home to his lodgings he wrote the ad-
venture to his mother, who lives In that town,
and, after posting the letter, felt strongly
moved to return and cross-questlon Richmond
touching his origin.
This was done and TO some purpose, for
Richmond declared that he had been reared
from infancy by an Indian woman, whom he
had been taught TO regard as his mother
She had always been kind to him, but mover,
until lying on her death-bed, confessed the
fact that she had stolen him from his parents
door when an infant, had taken him Into the
forest among her own red brethren, and
raised him for her own. His family name
abe said, she had forgotten, but gave that Of
Richmond as being something like Il. After
the squaw's death the young man went tt
Quebec and tried TO find his people. But the
change Of name. his extreme ignorance and
simplicity, and the probable absence at the
time OF his parents prevented his success,
Afterward he made his way TO Montreal, and
got into the trade he was following when dis
covered. The story was quickly conveyed tc
the Richard family, and the mother went on
to Montreal, where, by certain birthmark,
known to herself, she was able to corroborat,
the Identity Of her long-lost child"

Interesting to Distillcrs ,

There are q large number of grain
distillerics in Tennessee and Kentucky,
the proprietors of which wish to make
brandy from fruit during the warm
months when they are unable to distil
whisky from grain. Heretofore they
have not been allowed to do this, but
the Commissioners Of Internal Revenue
has just made decision in u letter to
Supervisor Cobb, of this district, by
which he allows this kind of work to
be done. The decision is as follows
"In case grain distillcrs wish to
change from grain to fruit they can do
so, and the spirits in their warehouses
may remain until the tax is due under
the ware housing bond. They will not
be allowed to put any brandy made
from fruit into the warehouse with such
spirits, but will be required to pay tue
tax in the manner prescribed for all
distillers Of brandy from peaches, APP
pies, etc. The distillerics must be
again surveyed for fruit in accordance
with law. If they have discounted OPP
erations as grain distiIlcrs, they must
give bond as fruit dislillcrs, and also

Corn Fodder.

1t is q Tennessee custom to pull
fodder. 1t is aQuestion, long debated,
whether or not pulling fodder does
not injure the corn more than the fod.
der is worth. a farmer, some years
ago, tested the matter thus: He pull
ed the fodder from n acre: cut the
taps from the second, and left fodder
and tops on the third He afterwards
weighed the corn ofeacli acre, and that
from the third acre exceeded the
weight of either of the others by more
than the weight OF the fodder in the
one case, and the tops in the other.
This was to his mind pretty conclusive
proof that pulling the fodder and cu:,
ting the tops Injuries the yield OF the
corn. We know most of our formers
regard fodder and tops as pretty good
feed for stock, but we hope as many
as can will take steps to test the matter
so the subject may he thoroughly un-
derstood, aud the best practice adopt
