A PRovDENTIAL NAN. This title
now Justly belongs to physician who
has added to the list of medicines a new
remedy, which appears to include all
that is most valuable in the old pharms-
copoeia, and not to include any of the
drawbacks with which so called specifics
of the faculty are ehargeable. The
providential man is DR.. Joseph Walker,
of California, whose Vinegar Bitters
have achieved, in the short space of two
years, a degree of popularity never be-
fore attained by any advertised prepare
ton in this country. We have too
much confidence in the shrewdness OF
the American people to suppose that
this sudden and surprising celebrity 1s
the outgrowth of a delusiOn. Indeed,
we have reason to know that it Is found
ed on innumerable and well authentl-
Gated cures of almost all the bodily Ills
that flesh is heir to. Not to the least
among the merits of the famous Tonic
and Restorative, is its entire freedom
from alcohol, as we'll as from all mineral
drugs. It is composed exclusively OF
rare vegetable extracts.

john Ouincv Smith.s True LoYe.

Monday afternoon a young unnamed
John Quincy Smith, who works In
carriage factory, called upon Justice
Potter and asked his honor to appear
at a certain house on MaOomb street at
a certain hour that evening and weld
two fond hearts together. "The court"
said he'd be on time, and he was, but
he found the lover looking disconsolate
and the brides mother flushed and an
noyed.
''Isn't this the place where was TO
come and unite two sympathetic souls?"
inquired Mr.. Potter in an anxious voice.
thinking he might have made a mistake.
"You see, I'll tell you how it is"
explained the old lady. Betsy James
Young and foolish, and she's afraid some
one will make fun of her if she gifts
married."
His honor thought it was rather
strange, and went off feeling about as
morning John Quincy entered Justice
alley again to tell Mr.. Potter that he
could come up to the house that even
ing. and that there wouldn't be any
backing out again.
"It's dead sure, is it ?" asked his
honor.
"You can bet on it." replied John
Quincy" bet hundred to one"
His honor was on hand again at the
appointed hour, and he found the lover
and the mother looking about as sad as
before. The girl herself was concealed
| behind the door, and as soon as Potter
entered the mother pulled the door
back so as to expose the hider and ex-
claimed:
"Now, then, Judge, look at her-look
at the big BOBBY, aud see what a fool
she is making of herseIfI'
The girl made a skip and jumped
under the centre table, and from thence
shouted back
i" I hain't any more of a fool than you
are, and you know it p
"Then why don't you come out and
git married % asked the parent.
"Do you s'pose I want to be made
fun of I" squeaked the daughter.
After awhile the justice put in his
voice, telling the girl that it was the lot
of woman to marry; that she'd live 8
happy life, and that it wouldn't take
two minutes TO tie the knot.
"Oome, Betsy Jane " called the
mother.
Come, my'own Lowell" pleaded John
Quincy.
"Come, my dear girl ~ added the
justice, raising the table-spread and ex
tending his hand.
"Oh, go away % she sobbed, hands
over her face, ego away and leave me
here to die I can't bear to think o.
gittin' jined and leavin' mother ~
They coaxed and pleaded and scold
ed, but Betsy Jane was firm, and slit
vas still resting under the table wheI
his honor left John Quincy put on hi
hat and walked down the street a piece
and when Potter remarked that Ia
guessed there wouldn't be any marry
ing in that house the young man re
spopded:

why Farmers are so Poor.

It is believed that n-tenths of the
planters and farmers of this country,
north and south alike, ARE staggering
to their fall under a load of debt and
mortgage. What is the matter? AS a
class, farmers are not lazy. They are
seldom idle. They work as hard as any
body ought to work. They make, tax
ing one year with another, whas may be
considered, under the present standard
of agriculture, fair crops, and they get,
as a rule, good prices for their surplus
products they put into the market; still
they don't get rich-in fact, are getting
poorer and poorer every year. Why is
it so ? To say nothing of faulty system
Of crOpping-all cotton, all wheat, all
something else or of creoit, liens and
interest, the reason which we had in
mind with which to point this paragraph
Is, that it costs too much to make our
crops. We grow poor, not so much be-
cause our incomes are so small, as be-
cause our outgoes are so large. There
is no strict method in our operations
and close economy of means. The ex-
pense of making q crop has not been
reduced to a minimum. We fence in
too large field and travel over too
many acres to produce ten bales of cot
ton or a hundred bushels of corn. We
pay out too much for labor and for fer
tilizers for the result produced. The
remedy must be sought III sOunder
methods, labor saving implements and
better trained labor and less of it.

How it Happened,

With that indescribabIe grace and
poetry of motion which only come of
gentle birth, aristOcratic training and
long familiarity with a yard-stick, he
placed his eyeglasses astride of his
aquiline nose, twirled his cane under
his arm, tilted his hat to one side, and
gracefully and lightly stepped right
out of the car. At first he tried to
catch the car by running after it back
ward. Then he sought to balance him
self on one foot, and tried to throw his
hat over the pOst-office, while he hop
ped wildly down the grace. Then he
put both his feet upon level with the
top of the departing car, broke his
cane and pounded the firm, hard boul-
ders with his head and eyeglasses, and
then he tried to slide down the grade
on his shoulder blades, with only par
tial success, and finally caught hold of
the track with his teeth and hands, to
keep himself from flying to pieces. The
four doctors who dressed the wounds of
the young man whose back was full of
scrap iron and gravel, and whose claw
hammer coat was split from tail to col
lar, and covered with Vine-street mud
and cOal-tar, begged as not to mention
his name, and we won't. Cincinnatt

That Little GirI.

The joviaI captain of one of the
steamships now IN port tells a good
story relative to the May and December
marriages so common in Brazil. A
Brazilian gentleman, apparently over
fifty years of age, was a passenger on
the vessel. He was accompanied by
two giIls, one about fifteen and another
younger. The gentleman was sea-
sick in the cabin and the girls were on
deck, whereupon the captain tried TO
amuse them, took them on his knees
and told them stories, while he enjoyed
their prattle and pretty smiles. In the
midst of this pleasant occupation the
gentleman came on deck. With a fierce
expression OF face he Razed upon the
scene for a moment, and then inquired
IL q harsh. husky voice, 81 You, sir, are

How to Keep Sweet Potatoes.

Many people who have no potatoes
during the winter, would have them if
they only knew how TO keep them. They
have tried and failed, become disguised
and abandoned the effort. A successful
potato-raiser and potato-keeper gave us
the following plan the other day. 1t IS
simple, inexpensive and, he says, effec-
tual:
Dig early in the morning and continue
until as many have been dug as can be
put away before night. Allow them to
dry in the sun during the day, provided
the sun is not hot enough to burn them,
which very rarely is the case at potato
digging time; then, on piece of ground
so high that it will not become wet dur
ing the winter, lay thick coat of pine
or other dry straw and build q bank of
fifty or sixty bushels. Cover the bank
with seven or eight inches of straw and
leave il to "sweat" for two or three
days, taking care to protect it against
rain. Then cover thoroughly with earth
sixteen or eighteen inches thick, doing
this work in the cool of the morning,
before the sun hiss warmed the earth or
the potatoes. Cover all over, excluding
all air, and shelter completely from
rain. The reason for covering In the
cool of the morning is that the soil used
for covering is cool and will not heat
the potatoes, and that the potatoes not
being exposed to the sun are also cool,
and being coolly covered in this condi-
ton will not subseQ uently heat and rot,
having gone through sweat before they
we're covered with earth. Our inform
ant told as that he had practiced this
method for a number of years, and al
ways dug his potatoes when they were
at, no matter how hot the weather, and
had never lost a potato by rot. He ad-
ded that all potato houses are humbugs.
