good anecdote is told Of an lnveterate Eng.
lish sportsman, the late Earl of Oxford, grand,
son of the famous Sir Robert Walpole This
nobleman had weakness for doing every.
thing that other people didn't do, and espe-
cially in connection with sporting. A freak
with which his memory was identified, long
after he passed away, was his habit Of driving
a four.in- hand team of red deer stays, which
he reduced to such perfect discipline in his
own park that he wasat last tempted to make
an excursion with them to Newmarket. The
incident that befell him here excited no small
degree of amusement among the then Prince
of Wales set, of which Lord Oxford was an
habitue. As the phaton, with its strange team,
approached Newmarket, the cry of pack Of
staghounds was suddenly heard in the air.
The huntsman of the pack had been exercising
his hounds in the neighborhood of the heath
and was astonished, on crossing the road, to
see his dogs put their noses to the ground, and
give tongue in chorus as they set off in pur-
suit. The scent left by four stays was natu-
rally breast high nor was it long before the
deep voiced music of the eager pack smote
upon the sensitive ears of Lord Oxfords team.
Fear prevailed over discipline, and, in spite
of all the efforts of the noble charioteer, the
stags dashed off at lightning speed, and
wbirled the light phaton after them, with the
celebrity of whirlwind. In vain did the
trained grooms on horseback take part in the
headlong race. Tae stage rushed along main
street of the little town, and never stopped
until they turned at full speed into the open
portals of the Ram Inn. The doors were
slammed just in time to exclude the foremost
hounds, and "this singular circumstance"

nar Mr.. B. F. Remington, of this city, who
was present when some bodies were being dis
inferred at Clarksville, Harrison County, for
re.interment in Battle Grove Cemetery, Gym
thiana, informs US that a metallic case, in
which had been placed the body ofa two-year-
old child, daughter of DIR. Currant, was open
ed. The body was found to be remarkably
we'll preserved and the features wearing al
most the same expression they did when the
child breathed its last, with the exception of
the sinking of one eye, slight Aattening Of
the nose and shrinking of the upper lip. A
rosebud had been placed on the breast of the
child when buried, and when the case was
opened, it was found that the bud had expan-
ded into beautiful full-blown rose, and was
lying upon the breast of the sweet little child,
who had been an angel for more than eighteen
years. 1t was beautiful sight, and was &C.
cepted as good omen by those who looked
upon it, and truly expressed that "of such is
the kingdom ofheaven." Paris Kentuckian.

How A HOTEL. KEEPER KNOWS AN HONEST
MANA New York hotel-keeper has discov-
cred an infallible rule for determining the
honesty Of his customers. Hesays: 81 have
made it rule in my house, whenever man
wants room and has no baggage, to demand
pay in advance, as is usual. If he manifests
no objection, and puts bis hand in his pocket
for money, 1 tell him it is all right; that he
can pay just as we'll when he goes away.
That kind of men always pay. But there is
another sort Of fellow who, when informed of
the rule, pretends to be very indignant, insist.
ing that he is gentleman, by, and is
not in the habit of having his name question
ed or his honesty doubted. In such case,
I invariably insist on the production of the
funds, for l know if 1 don't get them then,
1 never should get them in the world. Men
who talk about their honor, and assume to be
insulted when requested to pay can be depend
ed on for frst-class dead-beats"

THE MODEL NEGRO FARMER.

There is freedman living in southwestern
Georgia, upon a plantation belonging to a
gentleman of this city, who has run it for two
years with the usual results, and in conse.
ouence has become not only previously de-
moralized, but immensely disgusted. In
January last he rented the place to the afore-
said freedman for certain number OF bales
of cotton; at the same time selling him
all the mules, corn and fodder on the place,
to be paid for in cotton the first day of Decem-
Der at farthest. He also agreed to furnish
the meat necessary to run the place for the
year, which was to be paid for before or by
the above date. The renter also agreed to
keep up the fences, ETC., and return the farm
to the owner at the end of the year in as good
condition as when put into his hands.
By the 24th of fSeptember the rent had been
paid, and by the 9th of October the debt
for the mules corn, meat, ETC., had also been
paid, every dollar, and the renter has now
only small Indebtedness for labor, orders
to hands, etc., to pay off with his surplus cot.
ton. He has made enough to do him next
year, and will commence operations the own
er of eight mules, all the necessary farming
utensils, wi. "a plentiful supply Of labor, and
with nothing to buy but his meat He has,
made the best crop with the least expense and
with fewer hands than has been produced on
the place in three years, and in all his ope-
rations has shown judgment in intelligence
and economy that entities him to public men,
tion and consideration. Although person
of much weight with his race, and able to
control a considerable number of them in po-
litical matters, he takes but little interest in
such things, and contents himself with voting,
if it is perfectly convenient for him to leave
his business to do so-if not, not We sup
pose he is Radical, but as he considers pol
itics entirely subordinate to the great business
of improving his material condition, and
laying the foundation Of substantial pros,
perity for his children, we conclude that he
is not very ardent politician. :,
In addition, he is a man Of his word in all
pecuniary and other matters, and enjoys the
highest character in his neighborhood, both
with white and black, for honesty, industry,
economy and kindly disposition. There is no
one more respected for the possession Of these
qualities than he. He is one often thousand,
it is true the exception to an almost univer-
sal rule, and as such we have thought that
not only for his own sake, but in order that
the bril- ghtness of his example may cast at
least one ray of light upon the dark picture
that surrounds him, this statement is worthy
of record.-Macoa Telegraph.

THREE PARAGRAPHS OF GoLD.-A good
advertisement in widely circulated newspa-
per is the best of all possible statesmen. 1t is
a salesman who never sleeps, and is never
weary; who goes after business early and late; !;
who accosts the merchant in his shop, the
scholar in his study, the lawyer in his office,
the lady at her tea table; who can be in
thousand places at once, and speak to a mil
lion people every day, saying to each one the
best thing in the best manner.
A good advertisement in newspaper pays
no fares on railroads; costs nothing for hotel
bills; gives away no boxes of cigars to Gus
toners, or merino dresses to customers wives;
drinks no whisky under the head of travelling
expenses but goes at once and all the time
about its business free of expense.
A good advertisement insures business
connection of the most permanent and indie.
pendent basis, and is in certain sense a guar.
antee to the customer of fair and moderate
prices. Experience has shown that the deal
er whose wares have obtained public celeb
rity is not only enabled to sell, but is forced
to sell, at reasonable rates, and to furnish
good article.

facture of thimbles is very simple, but singu-
larly interesting. Coin silver is mostly used,
and is obtained by purchasing coin dollars.
Hence it happens that the profits of the busi'
ness are affected instantaneously BY all the
variations in the nations greenback promises
to pay. The first operation strikes novice
as almost wicked, for it is nothing else than
putting a lot of bright silver dollars, fresh
from the mint, into nasty crucibles and melt
ing them up into solid ingots. These are
rolled cut to the required thickness, and cut
by stamp into circular pieces ofany required
size A eolid metal bar of the size of the in
side of the intended thimble, moved by pow
erful machinery up and down in bottomless
mould of the outside of the same thimble.
bends the circular disks in the thimble shape
as fast as they can be placed under the de:
scending bar. Once in shape, the work Of
Frightening, polishing and decorating is done
upon lathe. First the blank form is fitted
with rapidly.revolving rod. A single touch
of sharp chisel takes thin shaving from
the end another does the same on the side,
and third rounds off the rim. A round steel
rod, dipped in oil and pressed upon the sur
face, gives it lustrous polish. Then little
revolving steel wheel, whose edge is a raised
ornament, held against the revolving blank,
prints that ornament just outside the rim. A
second wheel prints a different ornament
around the center, while third wheel with
sharp points makes the indentations on the
lower half and end of the thimble. The in
side is frightened and polished in a similar
way, the thimble being held in a revolving
mould All that remains to be done is to
boil the completed thimbles in soap-suds, to
remove the oil, brush them up and pack them
for the trade.-Sprinqfeld Mass. } Republican.

SLEEPING IN A Cold RooM.-Hall's Jour-
nal of Health says that cold bed-chambers al
wavs imperil health and invite fatal diseases.
Robust persons may safely sleep in temper
ature of forty or under, but the old, the in
FAINT and the fral should never sleep in
room where the atmosphere is much under
fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
All know the danger of going direct into the
cold from very warm room. Very few
rooms, churches, theatres, and the like, are
even warmer than seventy degrees. If it is
freezing out of doors it is thirty degrees-the
difference being forty degrees more Persons
will be chilled by such changein ten minutes,
although they may be actively walking.
But to lie still in bed, nothing to promote
the circulation, and breathe for hours an at
mosphere of forty and even fifty degrees, when
the lungs are always at ninety-eight, is too
greata change Many persons wake up in the
morning with inflammation of the lungs who
went to bed we'll, and are surprised that this
should be the case. The cause may often be
found in sleeping in room the window of
which had been foolishly hoisted for ventila-
tion. The water.cure journals of the country
have done an incalculable injury by the blind
and indiscriminate advces of hosting the
window at night.
The rule should be everywhere during the
part of the year when fires are kept burning,
to avoid hoisting outside windows. tits safer
and better to leave the chamber door open, as
also the ireplace-then there is a draft up the
chimney, while the room is not so likely to
become cold. Ifthereis some 6rein the room
all night the window may be opened an inch.
1t is safer to sleep in bad air all night with
a temperature of over fifty, than in pure air
with a temperature under forty. The bad air
may sicken you but cannot kill you the cold
air can and does k4ll very often.
