ChildreR's Wavs.

Gail Hamilton, writing of children,
says ct should be sorry to say any
thing that might aid or abet our idle,
lax, and worth ess American fathers and
mothers. But it is an indisputable fact
that children do take an immense deal
of spelling without permanent injury if
there is good stock in them. Nature
seems to think more of substance than
training, for she gives children not when
people are wisest, but when they are
freshest and strongest. It is delightful
to see children always behaving with
perfect propriety and politeness but if
they kick and cuff and scream and grab,
all is not lost. There is a certain gov
ernor whom not having seen love, be.
cause he sends word to his son that his
grandson is the best little fellow IN the
world if you do not thwart him. and
always obedient if you do not hurry
him about it. The baby in breeehes
was standing by my chair, and clan
destinely snatched kiss, whereupon up
few his chubby hand and gave me a
smart slap on the cheek. 1t was in my
heart to retort with thump, but re-
Trained, and by and by, when I whis-
pered, why did you strike me 2 he an

exact degree of respect to be observed

ReportOrial Adventure.


There is in Kansas. or was up to three
years ago, 3 society of newspaper men
called aThe Bob Ellis Friends" The
society was formed to perpetuate the
name and doings OF 4 reporter named
Ellis. who made his name famous on
the Pacific coast by his startling adyen-
lures, and whose career finally closed
with balloon ascension 1t seemed
that a gentleman who had made one or
two ascensions had advertised to 60 up
from the fair ground on certain day,
and that a large crowd assembled to
witness the exhibition Ellis was sent
to make a report of the affair, and he
took It into his head to have 8 ride with
the professor and write up his expert
ence. His company was accepted, and
as the hour approached. he took his
seat In the car. The balloon was infa-
ted, and Just as it was ready to rise the
professor had some excuse to leap out
Eased of his weight so suddenly, the
balloon jerked away from the men and
Ellis went skyward alone. The man
knew all about newspaper business, but
he vas ignorant as to aerial navigation.
He, however, took things coolly as if
nothing unusual had happened. There
was no wind below, and, while the bal
loon hung over the grounds half mile
above the heads OF the excited crowd,
the following message came floating
down: 81 am all right, and intend to
see the thing through. Tell the paper
to look out for dispatch from me to-
night"
It was about five o'clock in the after
noon of June day, and the balloon
and its freight finally foated away TO
the northwest, and at last were lost to
view. No one in the crowd ever saw
Ellis again. La fact it was months be-
fore he was heard of. Days passed and
letters were written and dispatches sent,
but there was no news of the balloon
for week. Then hunter found this
message on the prairie Am still all
right, and am having heap of fun. I
have found the valve cord and can de-
scend whenever wish, but I am going
to see the thing down to fine point. "
He did. Months and months afterward
a hunter, passing through few miles
from the Santee agency, on the line be-
tween Kansas and Dakota, found a
wreck of the balloon hanging to tree,
and near by the skeleton of Robert

g Sweet Corinth. >

The other evening, as we were walk
ing leisurely along, the music of choirs
in three churches came floating out into
the darkness around us, and they were
all new and strange tunes but one-it
was not sung as we have heard it, but it
awakened train of long buried memo
ries that rose to us even as they were
before the cemetery Of the soul had a
tomb in it.
It was sweet ''Corinth they we're
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. we have seldom heard
since the rose color of life was blanched;
and we were in a moment back again to
the old village church, and it was a
summer afternoon, and the yellow sun
beams were streaming through the west
windows. and the silver hair of the old
deacon who sat in the pulpit was turned
to gold in its light, and the minister,
whom we used TO think could never die.
so good was he, had concluded zap
plication and exhortation, F" and the vii
Iage choir was singing the last hymn,
and the tune was g Corinth.
1t is years-we dare not think how
roany-since then, and q the prayers of
David, the son of Jesse, are ended, ="
and the choir are scattered and gone.
The girl with blue eyes that sang alto,
and the girl with black eyes that sang
air-the eyes of the one we're like the
clear June heaven at noon. They both
became wives, and both mothers, and
they both died. Who shall say that
they are not singing 8 Corinth" still
where Sabbaths never wape. and con-
gregations never break up2 There they
sat, Sabbath after Sabbath, by the
square column at the right of the lead

they wrote them IN those days of LIES

The FIood in Arkansas.

The Arkansas valley is overlooked mp
to Arkansas Post; s15. 600 viii probably
cover the damages there. From the
mouth of the Arkansas down is whore
the greatest damage resulted, and where
restitution exists among all classes, but
particularly laborers and their families.
Large portions of the Tallahstchie and
Yellobusha bottoms have been over
flowed Tor some time, but at the latest
accounts the water was subsiding. There
Is another crevasse at Catfish Point,
making the fourth IN that vicinity, and
yet but few plantations have been in
iured. SunfoEer river has carried of
the main portion of the water escaping
through the Hushpuekana erevasse, snd
the Deer creek plantations have not suf-
fered materially. But from Nil1iken's
Bend, twenty-five miles above Vicks-
burg, Is where the greatest damage has
been done, and where the greatest des-
titutiOn and suffering prevails.

River and HarbOr improvements.

The house committee on commerce
have completed the river and harbor
hill. Owing to the financial condition
OF the government, 6ne commissioners
have concluded not to report in favor of
new works, but to confine their recon-
mendations to the preservation and COM
pletion of those already commenced.
Among the largest items of appropria-
tions in the bill are the following: Har-
Dor of Refuge, Chicago, $4,000; ST..
Mary's Fall canal, 5000, 900: Harbor of
Refuge, Lake Huron, SIS, 600 Toledo,
S75, 600; Des Moines Rapid canal, $780,.
600 improvements of the Mississippi,
Missouri aud Arkansas rivers, 500, COO
T moving Red river raft, $50, 600; i'm
proving the mouth of the Mississippi
river, $3.50, 900; Mobile harbor, SIS. 900
White river, above Jacksonport, $50, 900;
Mississippi river, between the mouths
of the Ohio and Missouri, $500, 600;
Ohio river, $3.50, OG0; Tennessee river,
above Chattanooga, S25, 600; below Chat
tanooga, including Muscle shoals, $780,
600. The bill authorizes about forty
surveys to be made, fifteen of them IN
the south. The entire amount of appro-
priations is 81, 500, 600, or q, 000, 600 less
than the amount of the bill reported to
the house last year.

IT VAS an ancient custom OF the spar
tans. in order to inculcate among their
youth an adherence of intemperance
and its kindred vices, TO make their
slaves drunk with wine In the pubic
market places, so that the rising gener-
alton, upon whom would some day de-
voIve the honor and safety Of the Lace
demoniaa Republic, might see before
them ali the CHASTITY details Of the
drunkmd's disgrace, his loss of reason
and of physical strength. Twere WE'LL
perhaps, to-day, could some OF our
young men contemplate a similar IN
struesive lesson drawn from the life,
showing them, by sharply drawn con-
trast, the advantages and true lowell
ness of abstinence and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, Vinegar
Bitters is the beverage best adopted, It
being purely a vegetable draughts de-
void of alcohol or mineral poisons, and

the damning curses, of the different
poisons which year by year are sweep

Milk ana Potatoes.

Prof. Jas. T. w. Johnston says ::
"Every forty gallons of milk carried off
the farm contains one pound of bone
earth" Estimating the average yield
of a good COW at $50 gallons a year, this
milk will contain 10 pounds of earthly
phosphate, or as much as is present in
80 pounds of bone dust, and the urine
contains about IL pounds of the same
phosphates. Suppose that only third
of this runs to waste, there viii be a
loss equal to about six pounds of bone
Dust. But by Mr.. Quincy's arrange
ment the urine Is saved by being alb
sorbed by the peat muck. According
to Prof. JohnstOn's statements it will
be seen that there are annually carried
off in the milk from Mr.. Quincy's 100
COWS, phosphates equivalent to 1900
pounds of bone dust. But ifthe cream
of the 100 cows milk was made into
butter, and the bHttermilk and skim
milk were fed to swine, and they were
supplied with muck or good loan sui
ficient to absorb the urine, all loss from
the phosphates of 100 COWS would be
what was continued in the bones of the
hogs.
Butter-makers in New York increase
the yield of grass without purchasing
any Douo SaIOA, a9 AOH0 lSafSS INC l@L "
In butter. But Mr.. Quincy sells milk
IN Boston, and requires 1000 pounds OF
bone dust to compensate for that sold
in milk in twelve months

his lectures. that ga field OF potatoes
yielding 800 bushels to the acre removes
from the soil, in tubers and tops, at
