How Bunter Won the Widow.

ooh, what handsome man. cried
Mrs. Hunter; and such. charming
foreign accent, too"
Mrs. Hunter was widow--rich, .,
childless, fair and thirty and she
made the remark above recorded to Mr..
Bunter, II bachelor, who had come to
make an afternoon call, opyopos of the
departure of Prof. La Fontaine, who
had, according to the laws of etiquette
taken his departure at the arrival of Mr..
Bunter.
Don't like to contradict a lady,
said Mr.. Bunter, "but l can't say l
agree with you, and these foreigners
are generally imposters, too"
Mrs. Hunter shook her head coquet-
tishly. She was rather coquettish and
rather gushing for her age. "Oh, you
gentleman! you gentleman" she said;
Il can't see that you ever do justice to
each other"
And then she rang the bell, and Or
dcred the servant to serve tea, and
pressed Bachelor Bunter to stay and
partake of it.
There was maiden aunt of eighty in
the house to play propriety, and allow
her to have rs many bachelors to tea,
as she chose; and Mr.. Bunter forgot his
jealousy and was once more happy.
He was, truth to tell, very much in
love with the widow, who was his jun
ior by fifteen years. He liked the idea
of his living on the interest of her mon
ey, too.
She was splendid housekeeper and
fine pianist. She was popular and
goodlooking.
He intended to offer himself for ac-
ceptance as soon as he felt sure that
she would not refuse him.
But this dreadful Professor La Fon-
taine, with black eyes as big as saucers,
had long side-whiskers, black also as a
ravens wing, and the advantage of be-
ing the widows junior.
The opportunity to make a fool of
herself is SO irresistible to every widow
1t troubled his dreams good DEAL
Not that he thought him handsome
Or no! But still at fifty a man does
not desire rival, however he may de-
spise him.
She did not ask him to stay, and
she did ask me" said MIR. Bunter, and
departed, after most delightful even
ing, during which the maiden aunt who
was at best deaf Us post, snored sweet1y
in her chair. But alas! on the very
next evening the sky was overcast.

A WILL ON SLATE.-The West
Chester Penn. Local Ne,cs says: "We
were shown q will written upon a slate,
which circumstance is probably the first
and only case of the kind in the couns
try. The instrument of bequest bears
date May 3, 1868, and is the will of
Phebe Ann Woodward, late of Ken
net square. The slate is new one,
and upon the frame are the letters &c P!
A. W." in ink, they being the initials
of the deceaseds name, this curious
and novel writing. was found by her
friends, after her decease, few weeks
since in chest under lock and key,
and safely ensconced in a paste board
box. Register Evans has decided to
admit it to probate, after which it is
supposed its legality will be tested in
the Registers Court. John j. Pinker-
ton is the council for the will, and by
whom the rather eccentric writing was
shown us. Mr.. p. states that this will
is the first slate will to be found on
any records of which any knowledge
is now to be gained. Upon its receipt in
Registers office, it will be provided
with wooden box, in which it will be
filed for keeping under lock and key"

PLANTING BABrEs.-A great many Gu
rious things happen to babies in this
world of ours, that readers in general
probably never heard of. One thing is
planting them. This is done by the
dark-skinned women of Guinea, and
isn't half so dreadful as it sounds. The
mother digs hole in tho ground,
stands baby in it, and then packs the
warm sand around him to keep him in
place, as you would set up rosebush.
It keeps him out of mischief, and he
can play in the sand while his mother
works. All day long he stays in his odd
crib, and at night, when she is dono
with her work, he is dug out. When
this agricultural mother wants to carry
her baby about she ties him into a chair,
which she straps to her back: If it is
some very grand occasion, he is dressed
neatly in strip pes Of white paint, and
ornanented with dozens of brass brace
let's and rings on arms and legs. A
funny looking baby he must be!

THE CONGRESSIONAL BLOW AT THE
NEWSPAPER PRESS,

In the expiring hours of the last
Congress, blow was struck at the
newspaper press which may yet rebound
and crush its authors. Some Of tLe
leaders in Congress, especially the Sen
ate branch thereof, became angered at
the persistent appeals of the newspaper
press Of all political shades, for re-
peal of the franking privilege, and
partly in retaliation, partly in the hope
of checking the agitation; the Senate
Committee surreptitiously engrafted the
following clause in the bill to repeal:
Prorided, That all laws and parts of
laws permitting The transmission by
mail Of any free matter of whatever na-
tnre, and the same are hereby repealed
from after June 30th, 1873.
With this appended the bill passed
both Houses, and not until after it's pas
sage was its object generally known,
even 10 those whose breath gave it the
force of law. This is shown by the
subsequent action of the popular branch
of Congress, which attempted to pass
an explanatory bill continuing the postal
freedom of the press. ',
A strict construction of the act as it
now stands compels subscribers, to
county papers, to pay postage thereon,
even if they receive them in the coun-
ties where published-and compels pay
ment of postage at the Office of delivery
on all newspaper exchanges. Else
where we give complete schedule of
the rates of postage on and after June
Goth, on all classes of matter sent
through the mails. 1hese rates with
the exceptions above named, are the
same as heretofore, but. careful re-
statement is needed to rid the question
of postage of the confusion which now
surrounds it.
Recurring to the changes effected by
the act repeating the franking privilege,
we assume this position and hope news
papers generally will impress it upon
the proper autho,ity-that under all
circumstances, the Postmaster Cen
eral, whose duty it is to construe acts
affecting his Department, should ut
once consider the validity of the clause
quoted, and if a reasonable doubt is
raised should give newspaper publishers
the benefit of it. The object of the act,
as stated in the title and throughout
the discussion, was simply to repeal the
franking privilege. No other question
was raised. It was not the intention of
other than few of the law makers to
impose new burdens upon the newspa-
pers of the land, and since at least one
branch of Congress attempted to rectify
the mistake, there is abundant ground
for sotting aside that clause Of the act
until the incoming of another Congress.
The Postmaster General has this pow
er; the question of intention is plain at
least in one of the component branches
of the government, and intention is af-
ter all the main ingredient in the cor
rect construction of the law. Here is
Creswell's opportunity. He should inn
mediately improve it, and when this is
done there need be no fear of the ac-
ton of the Congress which meets in
December next.-American Journalist.

THEY ARE COMING.
BY SAM BOOTH.

They arc coming they arc coming,
Every week thousand more.
From the crowded towns OF Asia,
And the great MOngolian shore.
They leave their homes and fathcrland,
With all that makes them dear,
For better pay and better fare,
That waits the toilers here.
They leave their wives behind them,
Their hopes are all before;
They are coming. they are coming,
Every week n thousand more.
Beyond the great Pacific,
Where the ocean meets the sky,
Five hundred million Cinnamon
Your vision may dcscry:
And every China steamship
That comes sailing up the bay,
Is filled To ovcrflowing with
The children of tathay.
Anda thousand welcomes wait them
From their brcthcrn on the shore:
They are coming, they are coming,
Every week II thousand more.
They are Swarniry in the cities.
They arc crowtliig i'll the mines.
And they toll from morn till evening
Where Il halfa dollar shines.
They are weaving cloth anu blankets,
They are making shirts and shoes,
And the tools of many a handi"ratt
They are learning how to use.
They wash our clothes, they make cigars,
They're keeping many store;
They are coming. they are coming,
Every week Il thousand more.
They are cooking i'm the kitchen,
To poor irdgt;'S dire diSNMN:
They are working on the railroads
For about six bits Il day.
They are minding little babies,
They are dclving in the sod,
And building Sllantics for themselves
And temples for their god
They are pCddling fruit and vegetables
Round from door to door
They are coming. they are coming,
Every week IL thousand more.
They are bringing plague and pcStilcncc
In ftvcr-lad'n ships.
And taking gold and silver back
bn their returning trips.
They are bringing boards of prostitutes
To ply their trade of shame,
And breeding vice and foul disease
Zoo horrible to name.
In tctid lanes and alleys
They are like fostering sore;
They are coming. they are coming,
Every week thousand ni"r,.
They are travelling up our valleys,
Singly and in dusky files,
In stages. cars. and cen on foot,
The long and dusty miles.
From Great Salt Lake To Frisco,
From LA Paz to Puget Sound.
Thprr'S not Il camp nor settlement
Where John" may not he found.
\ hundred thousand Cinnamon
Have come this way before
They are coming. coming, coming,
Every week Il thousand more.

Use OF COFFEE WHERE IT GRows.-
That little or no coffee is consumed in
those far-off Eastern countries where it
was first discovered and from whence it
has been diffused over the habitable
globe, is one of the curiositiesr rof histo-
ry. Throughout Yeman, the original
home OF the plant, coffee berries are
barely used at all. There is prejudice
against them as to heating. The native
name is bum. The favorite' drink is
prepared from husks of the coffee bean,
slightly roasted, and then pounded, or
rather marked, ready for making de-
coction. It has tea taste, and rather
grateful to the palate, under the term
kischer.

A PEnpErUAL CoNFIIcr.-Each plant
endeavors, almost unconciously, to de-
stroy his neighbor, to occupy his
grounds, to feed upon his nutriment,
to devour his substance. There are AZ
mics and invasions of grasses, barbarian
inroads and extirpations. Every inch
of ground is contested by the weeds;
the forest is a struggle for precedence.
the wars of the roses are a perennial
feud. The serenest landscape, the
stillest woodland, are the mortal arena
of vegetable and animal conflict.

r<SE~ \ curious incident is related in
French paper as having occurred i'll II
little village not far from Paris. Some
bees were swarning on an oak tree.
and u wood-cuttcr named Guiot climbed
the tree and cut off the extremity of the
branch upon which the swarm hung.
Instead of falling to the ground, how
ever, the swarm dispersed and settled
on the head of Guiot, who was still
sitting on the branch, forty feet from
the ground. The bystanders believed
that, tortured by the stinSs. he would
fall to the ground. But, with great
presence of mind Giliot remained per-
fectly still till the swarm had formed
two long wreaths hanging from his
temples; then half-blnded by the in
aects, which also covered his face and
body, he contriyed to descend from his
elevated position. taking the greatest
care not to irritate this living mantle.
When he reached the ground a hive
was placed on his shoulder, but three
hours elapsed before the bees would
take possession of their new home.
When this happy change was effected
the poor wOodcutters wild delight tes-
titled to the intensity of the anxiety and
discomfort he had endured.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

A very considerable portion of the will
low is imported from foreign countries.
STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
September is good time for planting
strawberries, and the showery weather
of the past month has favored tue pro-
duction of young plants. The follow
ing is the experience of an old fruit
grower in Trumbull county, as given in
the Cincinnati Gdzette: i,s--
1 have been engaged for some years in
the culture of small fruits on small
scale. / have set strawberries both in
the spring and in the fall, and l have
always had the best success in setting
them in the fall. have my strawberry
patch divided into three parts. l reset
each of them once in three years, in the
| fall, and L always plant the Wilson
Albany variety. In November 1 go in
4 cover over all my beds. l cover them
| so completely that L can not see straw
1 berry plant. / then take bean straw,
and put enough of it over 70 keep the
wind from blowing the leaves off, and
they winter we'll. In the spring i
"poke" away the covering from the
hills little, SO can see the plants, and
4 they droao right along. let the covering
4 be on the bed month or two: it keeps
the weeds back and the ground moist
have, each spripg, on my new bed.
some of my largest, INCEST, and best ber-
ries. Some fruit growers pinch of all
the blossoms the first year, thinking
| they make il up the second year. But
have enough the second year, too
Il There is no foul stuff in forest leaves OF
in bean straw.
In setting Strawberries L have my
rows each way, twenty-five inche;
apart.
1 Seven or eight years ago had near al
acresof rolling land, dry soil, of a mix
ture of sand antz clay 1 set this apt Il
apple trees, setting them a pretty goot
distance apart. At the same time | Sc
out between them the Doolittle blacl
cap raspberry in every row Of apDl'
trees. With a corn plow i plowed then
each way, and kept them clear with 1
hoe. After the first year had splendit
crops of berries, and ho,oj r1y trees d,t
} arotoi / kept them topped back TO
thsee years. Since then l. have trimmet
them some every spring, just before tn
sap starts then they heal over readily
keep the inside well thinned out, TAX
ing out all the suckers, and giving t.
the trees a spreading top. In this wa,
have got an orchard that is an orchard
1t has been bearing moderately for tw'
or three years. l plowed up the rasp
} berries two or three years ago, but
have kept the orchard under the plov
ever since IL was set out, manuring
. also lightly each year. L never saw al
orchard grow like mine that is so thrifty
