The Old Story.

he Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier journal says .'Ihe
other day, for the first time, / read in your
paper Theodore Tilton's views on the one
great sin. When | read the concluding
paragraph, where he speaks of the woman
being brought to the temple to be stoned,
and asks so pertinently, Where was the
man !? and answers his own question in
this wise. The man probably went away
among his companions to laugh; indeed,
there is no evidence that he was not her
chlet accuser, and the ringleader in her
punishment, after reading this thought
OF a similar case in our midst. To-day
there walks, with head erect, a man (per-
maps many men, but this one | speak of
esPecIaily) who, after running one nno-
cent, unsuspecting girl, married another
who wasalmost her nearnelghbor His wife
IS very beautiful and attractive. When the
story reached her ears and the poor little
babe was brought to her notice her heart al
most broke. and sle resolved to leave the
man although he had only been her hus-
band few months. Relations thought it
best to take no steps in the matter, and she
was dssuaded from obtaining divorce.
But the smooth faced villain was not co.,
tent with the misery he had wrought but
sought to regain his power over the girl
durng a temporary absence of his wife
Poor thing, She was trying so hard to be
worthy OF the forgiveness of her father
and sister who had not cast her off. One
Gay ear filled with passengers was pass
ing down the street. One Young man in
the car called the attention of another to
beautiful girl who was about entering a
store ana named her 4. the mistress of

young sister, and woman in the car.
who overheard the remark and knew
the girl, made it her business to call at
the house of the TWO sisters and re-
late what had occurred in the cars
The young lady turned upon her unfor-
tunate sister, and with yehemence reproch-
ed her for the disgrace she had brought
upon the family, and added that she would
no longer live in the same house with her,
but would hereafter live with 4 relation
in another city where she could escape in
suits. The poor wounded heart gave way,
and the torsaken one fell to the floor in
strong commissions in three days she
died. Her betrayer sat upon the steps of
his tather-in-law's dwelling and watched
the funerals as it passed He was in the
best OF spirits, and was quite ready to Join
with those who would stone her to death.

While this is the great grain producing
country of the world, the bulk of the barley
which is used here is imported from other
countries, and the demand grows with
every year. From Canada alone during
the past four years we have drawn a yearly
average OF nearly 800, 900 bushels, while,
owing to short crop there last year, large
imports We're made from Europe, The
New York Bulletin gives figures to prove
that cultivation of this cereal is much
more profitable than wheat-raising, and
thinks that the matter should commend
itself to the attention of f-rmers. The
market is enlarging yearly, the prospect
being that England alone will have an
annually increasing demand

Boston, is believed TO have doubled with

Forest Fires In Ohio and Indiana.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 A Cincinnati
special has accounts Of fires in the Western
forests On Thursday, at Crestline, Ohio.
great alarm was felt lest the fire from the
woods, on the west, would cross the corpora
ton line and communicate with the town.
The citizens remained up all night and
fought the flames. which thev at last got
under control by telling immense quanti-
ties of timber. Great excitement prevails
in Logan, Ohio for fear that the forest
fires would destroy that place. At Dod-
son, Ohio, sparks from passenger train
ignited a pile Of wood, and the wind drove
the flames through the woods and fields
destroying large quantity of cordwood
many valuable fences and an enormous
quantity of harvested corn. The region
of kenton, Ohio, also swept by forest
fire that destroyed large quantities OF corn,
fences and farm buildings. A reign of
terror is reported from. Muncie, and Fort
Wayne, Indiana on account Of forest fires
raging two days. The woods have been
on fire IN places for several weeks past,
but the high winds have famed the flames
into tlerceness that caused the largest
timbers to tall before them like dried
cornstalks Nearly 2O00 acres OF pine
forest timber are already consumed, and
the flames are still progressing through
dense woods, with a stiff breeze stimulat-
ing them into destructive action One
thousand cords Of frewood have been
consumed, Alarm is felt that Rushvlle,
Indiana, will be consumed by the fire from
the surrounding woods

forests in Ohio are reported abating The
town OF Summit, Indiana, is reported in

INTERVIEWED BY WASPS Up A TREE

INTERVIEWED BY WAsPs Up A TREE \
gentleman OF Hartford. Conn, the other
day obtained access to a tree for the pur-
pose Of fastening rope at some distance
from the ground, with which to form a
connection with an upper window Of his
house, the objective point being a clothes
line. The tree standing on a neighbor's
land, permission was obtained to occupy
IL. In order to have no serious obstacle to
climbing, the gentleman stripped down to
pants and shirt, and 'harnessed' the tree
bareheaded He made a successful ascent
to an elevation of twenty feet at least, and
was about to tie a sailors knot when a
wasp interviewed him. He dismissed the
rope for a second and brushed the wasp
away, and turned his attention to the rope
again. More wasps arrived suddenly, and
several OF them stood upon his head, which
is slightly bald, and he dropped the rope
which was not yet tied. By this time there
We're 1878 wasps holding q convention
about his person. He thought he would
adjourn, and did, hurriedly fairly sliding
down the tree and leaving patches of his
trousers along at intervals to show that he
had been there. Some of the wasps come
down, too, but most Of them remained
around the rope apparently wondering
what it was for. There are times when it
is pleasanter to be a wasp than q man

The Mind Reader John Brown, of Iowa,
is causing quite an excitement in New
Haven, which has extended to the grave
professors Of Yale. He disclaims all be-
lief in spiritualism, or standing in any
special relation to kingdom come, but
simply AYERS thai he possesses the power
to tell the thought Of any person in the
audience, and challenges the Yale savans
to any number Of trials. At a meeting
last week the following committee was
chosen TO have in charge the Investigations,
the first four being named by Mr. Brown
and the last four by DR.. Beard the chair
man being chosen by the members Prof
Brevar Of Yale; Prof NJ s. Phelps, a
graduate OF Yale in 1868; Judge Z. G.
Foster and Judge Robinson Dr. l. j. San
ford of \ ale Medical school and Dr. Chas
Lindsey and the Hon Collin NJ lngersoll
Prof Newton. the celebrated mathemati-
clan OF the ale faculty, was elected chair
man. The most rigid examination was
gone through with, every Imaginable ex-
pertinent being tried with success. For
example member of the committee would
think oi text in the Bible and Mr.. Brown
would at once repeat it. He would
though blindfolded pick out persons in
the audience which the committee had
mentally selected Articles like small
coins and pins We're hidden i'll the most
impossible places and Brown would find
them with the greatest facility The expert
ments were considered perfectly satisfac-
tory by the committee who reported ac-
cordingly.

A company has been organized near
Beloit, Wisconsin, tor the manufacture and
shipping of butter on an enormous scale
The butter is bought from farmers direct
from the churn, unworked aud unsalted.
From quarter to half ton of this butter
is worked at time. 1t is put into a square
box OF vat where it is washed and worked
with a wooden instrument resembling a
hoe IN shape. After being turned, washed
and pressed by the hoe until it is quite
free from buttermilk, it IS taken into an
other vat having a wire screen bottom,
through which the butter is pressed by q
strong lever at the rate OF 200 pounds per
minute. Ii is colored in winter and after
being salted. by still another process, it is
ready to pack for market From two to
three tons may be packed in day, requir-
ing the labor Of only two men. A good
deal of dish-washing is thus saved to the
farmers wives, while the butter, being OF
uniform color and quality. sells at better
prices, than if finished in the kitchens Of
