The New York Graphic says of the verdict
in the Brnkley divorce suit, that it asserts
that the plaintiff is the wife of Mr.. Brink
ley, and hence establishes the precedent that
a marriage ceremony ia not essential to con-
stitute marriage. Hereafter man who
keeps mistress and introduces her to any
one as his wife, may expect to find her re
cognized by the law as being legally mar
ried to him. Under this decisiona man has
only to live with say three different women
in three different States, to alternately
achieve all the profits Of polygamy without
fear Of it's former legal penalties The de-
cision still further muddles our marriage
laws; but it was, of course, foregone con
clusion, since the plaintiff was pretty wo-
man. and the defendant and jury were men
A distinguished New York minister is 80
absent minded that he recently totally for
rot that he had been selected to Officiate at
a wedding. The church was filed with in
vited guests, but the officiating clergyman
was nowhere to be seen. The impatient
bride and groom waited for half an hour
At last, a clergyman of another denomina-
ton, who was sitting among the guests, was
observed He was sent for, and kindly con-
scented to perform the ceremony. The knot
was tied to the satisfaction of all parties,
and the fee handt d over to the minister who
had proved such a benefactor. The money,
however, he sent to the clergyman who was
to have performed the ceremony, with this
note: "This is an egg found in your nest
As didn't cackle-ate upon it. send it back
to YOU"

IMPROVEMENT OF GRASS
LANDS.

| II III
thousands Of meadow and upland
pastures produce less than half the
quantity of hay and feed which the
land is capable of, from deficiency
Of plants of those kinds which are
most productive and suitable for the
soil. In some cases, where the
pasture is very foul with weed and
moss,it is advisable to pare and burn
the old sward, and resow the land
entirely, as above directed. In some
other instances it may be desirable
to drain and manure the lard; but in
most cases great improvement can be
effected by merely sowing renovating
seeds (which should consist of the
finest and most nutritive kinds of
perennial grasses and clovers) in the
following manner. Heavy harrows
should be drawn over the old turf
early in the spring, to loosen the soil
for the admission of seeds, which, if
sown freely. will occupy the numer-
Gus snail spaces between the grasses
already growing, and supersede the
course grasses and noxious weeds.
After The seeds are sown the land
should be carefully rolled. 1t is a
good practice to sow the seeds at the
same time as the lop-dressing, ifany
is applied ; but this is by no means
necessary. The months of FEBRUARY
March and April, are proper for SOW
ing the seeds: the earlier the better, as
the old grass will protect the young
from frost. 1t is also useful to SOW in
July and August, Immediately after
carrying the hay. Should the old
turf be very full Of moss, this is
generally an indication that drain
ing would be beneficial. The follow
ing is, however, an almost infalliable
remedy for the moss, not only
destroying it, ssbut preventing the
growth In future. Mix two carloads
of quicklime with eight carloads of
good light loan, turning the compost
several tiues, that it may be thor
oughly mixed and the lime slaked, |
and spread this quantity ger acre
over the pasture, dragging the turf
well with iron harrows. = Land audI

At the trial of Warren Hastings. when

At the trial of Warren Hastings, when
the oratorical powers of Pitt, Burke and
Sheridan were brought SO emphatically
into play, old Doctor Parr, (the Head
Master of Harrow SCHOOL, was an inter-
ssted listener on the occasion, for Richard
Brinsley had been the Doctors fayorite
pupil. AT the close of the eloquent
tournament, the Doctor. had retired IN
his cerncf in the Westminster Coffee
House, where he was launching out az a
matter of course, in praise Of the speech
OF Sheridan. Burke happened in, heard
most Of the Doctors eulogy.; and, az it's
close, remarked, "Why, Doctor, you have
said nothing about my speech" "Your
speech, Edmund" thuydered forth the
Doctor, was oppressed by epithet, dislo-
Gated By parenthssis, and debilitated by
smpli6catiop.'' 8 alga nm r

The German traveller Schweinfurth
speaking of the mythical races Of the
interior Of Africa, alluded to by Ho-
mer and other classic poets as being
attacked by and giving battle to the
cranes, says that races of stuntei
growth actually exist in the region
Of the Albert Nyanza, and are doubt
less descendants of those referred TO
by tradition. Referring to the Aka,
one Of those tribes, he says he very
diligently made memoranda after
every interview with them. He
measured six full grown individuals,
and none of them much exceeded Aft.
lOin. "The Aka would appear"
he continues, ''to be branch of
that series of dwarf races which,
exhibiting all the characteristics of
an aboriginal stock, extend along the
equator entirely across Africa. What
ever travellers have penetrated far
into the interior of the continent have
furnished abundant testimony as to
the mere fact Of the existence of
tribes ofsingularlydi minutive height"
''It would be entirely an error to
describe them az dwarfs either in the
sense Of the ancient myths or in the
way Of lIsQ;. aazturae, such as are
exhibited as curiosities amongst our
selves. The only traveller, I believe,
before myself that has come into
contact with any section of this race
is Du Chaillu, who describes them
as not i'll shaped, and as having skins
Of a pale yellow-brown, somewhat
lighter than. their neighbors, with
short heads ofbair, but great growth
OF hair about their bodies. Their
average height he afirms to be Aft.
Tin. In every particular but the
abundance ofhair about the person
'-EAiS description is quite applicable to
,4he Aka"

Nader, as a vegetable dye, is fast
losing its value, since mineral is now
used to produce colors. Coal'tar dyes
are Superseding all others. Mauve
and Magenta are two colors which
were produced first by this new tar
process, and now q beautiful blue
dye has been made by German
Chemist. London furnishes, in the
way of raw materials, one and half
million tons of gas yearly, and this
produces twelve million gallons of
tar. This tar is 80 valuable that the
growing of madden and other veget-
ables is to be discontinued since
science has invented this later and
better article.

SHEEP SHEARING AT CALDwELL's
PRAIRIE.-The Sheep Shearing Festival
at Caldwells's Prairie. Wis, on Thursday,
May IA, was quite successful. Sixteen
breeders of Waukesha and Racine coun-
ties exhibited IT'S sheee-all Merinos we
believe. Messrs. A. & P. Humbert ex-
hibited IL, but il is only fair to say that
the Festival was held near their home.
Although it seems early, in view of the
late spring for shearipg, 81 feeces were
clipped-33 ewes and Is rams. The
heaviest fleece weighed 10 lbs. Is ozs. 1t
was from q two years old ram, weighing
1879 pounds, owned by A. G. Whitmore.
The heaviest ewes fleece weighed 10 lbs.
4 ozs. 1t was from three years old eve
weighing 81 lbs. and owned by j. Fl
Paul. With four exceptions all the rams
feeces were over Is pounds; IL weighed
over II pounds each. But two ewes
,feeces went under 10 lbs. each.
Among the principal prize takers were
A. s. P. Humbert.J. w. Park, Perry Craig
J. Fl. Paul. A. e. Perkins, Geo. Lawrence.
Resolutions were adopted looking to
the organization of a breeders Associa-
ton. Geo Lawrence, r. Britten, A. e.

PURITY OF CHARACTER.

Over the outer coat of plum ant
apricot there grows a bloom NOR,
beautiful than the fruit itself--a soft
delicate powder that overspreads it,
rich colors. Now if you strike your
hand over that, and 1t is once gone
it is gone forever it only appears
once. The flower that hangs in the
morning empearled with dew-array
ed with jewels,-once shake it, so
that the beads roll of, and you may
sprinkle water over it as you please
yet 1t can never be made again what
it was when the dew fell gently on it
from heaven.
On frosty morning you may see
the panes of CLAUS covered with land
scapes, mountains, lakes, and trees,
blended INTO a beautiful fantastic PIC
ture. Now lay your hand upon the
glass, and by the scratch Of your fin
ger, or by the warmth tof the palm, all
the delicate tracerY will be oblitera-
ted.
So theirs is in youth a beauty and
purity Of character, which, when
oace touched and defiled, can never
be restored,-a fringe more delicate
than frost work, which when torn
and broken, will never be repaired.
When a young lad or girl leaves the
parents house, with the blessings of a
mothers tears still wet upon the
cheek, If early purity of character be
once lost, it is loss that can never
be made up again. Such is the con
sequence of crime. It's effect cannot
but be in some way felt, though by
Gods mercy it may be forgiven
Early Days.

An interesting review of the first
year of postal cards is given in the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The
number used was liz, DAB, 500. Two
firms manufactured all the paper.
They ship 1t to Springfield in sheets
the size of thirty-six cards, 1900
sheets in a case. Arriving at the
mandatory, the cases are reweighed
and the sheets recounted and exam
ined as to finish; case at a time is
then given to the printer, who,
receiving 1900 sheets, is obliged to
return sc cards, perfect OF imperfect
tor each. sheet received. From the
printer the sheets go TO the slitter-a
machine which divides each sheetinto
nine strips-and then a beautiful
little prosecuting machine cuts each
card, drops them into hoprers, and,
when each hopper has % cards, a
bell rings, the hopper turns over, and
girls, sitting in front of the machine,
catch up these % cards, examine,
recount. and band them in packages
of % each. Thence they go to the
boxing table, where 90 packs-5OO
cards = no more, no less-are put in,
Ipasteboard boxes ready for shipment,
About forty persons are employed at
the mandatory, many of them girls.
Boys run the machines, while the
girls assert, inspect and bind the
cards. The utmost accuracy is
required !; imperfect cards are care
fully destroyed, and daily balance
Is struck between the cards shipped
on hand or destroyed, and the num-
Der manufactured. None Of the
employees are allowed to take away an
imperfect card, and in every depart
ment the utmost care is taken to
protect the government from fraud.

A GRAND VARIETY OF PRO
DUCTS BY THE DIFFER
EMIT STATES.

A recent report of the Agricultural
Department Summarizes theaagricultu
raj industries of the different States
as follows: in Maine, hay occupies
the first place, and dairy husbandry
the second hay and stock raising
are of equalimportance in New Hamp
shire dairy husbandry stands high
IN lts] prominence in Vermont; in
Massachusetts,, hay first, market gar
dening next; the garden and the
dairy divide the honors IN Rhode Is
land and tobacco stands first in
Connecticut. There is much diver
sity in New York, Ebut dairy hus-
bandry is far In advance, being the
choice Of one third Of the counties.
There is much variety in New Jer-
sey, though market gardening stands
first. In Pennsylvania manufacture
ing and mining make a varied pro-
duction most popular, few counties
exhibiting very decided preference,
though wheat, as few would suppose
holds it's place in one-sixth Of the
counties. In Delaware tobacco in
Maryland tobacco and fruit growing.
Of more than fifty counties Of Vir-
ginia, sixteen favor tobacco, nine
mixed husbandry, six corn, five stock
raising, five market gardening,:gand
others peanuts, sheep husbandry'
fruit growing and wheat. In North
Carolina corn stands before cotton. In
Florida sugar cane is preferred, while
cotton predominates in South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
and in Texas. In Arkansas corn
stands first, and in Tennessee hay
and corn are preferred. In West
Virginia, corn and stock raising; in
Kentucky, tobacco and corn; in
Ohio great diversity appears-sheep
husbandry, corn, general cropping,
wheat, hay and fruit growing. Corn
is king in Indiana, and hay next
thereto corn is also first in Illinois,
and wheat next. In Minnesota,
wheat in Wisconsin, wheat and the
dairy ; In Iowa and Missouri, stock
growing, corn and wheat. The or
der in Kansas and Nebraskais wheat,
stock growing, corn. In California,
wheat, sheep husbandry and fruit
growing. In Oregon, wheat and
stock growing.

WORK COMMENCED ON THE
NORTH WISCONSIN RAIL
WA Y.

The engineers have definitely locat-
cd the extension of the North Wis.
consin toward Lake Superior to a
point forty miles from Hudson. The
graders have already been put a. work
from the present terminus of the
road on Star Prairie, whence the
course is nearly due northeast until
the pine woods are reached. The
promptness of the North Wisconsin
in proceeding to fulfill the conditions
