A Justifiable Breach of Promise
Case.

Amelia DOnnerschlog young Ger
man lady, brought suit before Justice
Banyon, of Chicago, one day last week,
against August Behrens, for breach of
promises, claiming 5000. She would have
sued for more. but 5000 Is the limit of
the jurisdiction of justice. The COM
plainant stated that she had known the
defendant in Germany, and had become
engaged to him there. He had emigra-
ted to this country in order to earn
home, and she had followed him in the
course of a year The young man ad-
mitted the engagement, and added:
When this young lady came over
from Germany here she did ask me to
marry her and was ready to, and l
told her / was. But she said that her
mother must live with us and keep
house for us. I told her that l had
watched the ways of her mother and
was not pleased with them; that I loved
her very deeply and was ready+O marry
her, but I did not wish TO marry her
mother also, who was a woman of lordly
and unpleasant habits, and insisted upon
feeding me too much oG cabbage, a veg
etable have always had a dislike for. I
am ready, your honor, to marry her now,
providing that she will leave her moth
er out in the cold; but | will not marry
the old woman. I have made up my
mind to that no matter what comes"
The justice asked Behrens which he
would rather do, pay down 5000 or mar
rv the young lady and have her mother
live with them? and Behrens answered
firmly, 81 will pay the 5000" And then
Justice Banyon delivered this remarka-
bic language:
''Allow me to shake hands with you.
I envy your frmness. There was a per-
iod in the life of this court, Mr.. Beh-
rens, when it was placed in circumstances
somewhat similar to your own. If it
had the moral courage you possess, it
would have saved about twenty-five
years of misery and unhappiness. The
alternative was presented to this court
whether it would marry young lady
and her mother, or whether it would
pay 1925 in gold. The court was poor
at the time. 1t was earning an unsatis-
factory living at the restaurant business.
1t yielded. 1t took the young woman
and mother-in-law and kept the 1925.
For quarter of a century this court
regretted its hasty action. 1t is
glad to meet man who cherishes hap
piness more than he does money. The
order of the court is that the defendant
stand discharged, and that the complain
ant, who has been trying to bring man
into slavery to mother-in-law, be fined
ten dollars and COSTS"

The Best Bank.

We have been repeatedly assured that
farming don't pay, and the boys have
believed the assertion and gone to clerk
ing, or teaching, or trading-'business'
they call it. But recently the books
have been opened-the books in which
the accounts of all the occupations are
kept, and being footed, we see what
really pays and what is Improbable.
Bankers, supposed to be a sort of nobil-
ity, have smashed; many of their clerks
have proved to be great rascals; railroad
obligations have gone to protest; of the
richest and grandest of mortals, shuffling
millions of dollars, often in day, have
shrunk down to be quite common. How
is it with the farmer? Has the panic
touched him? Does he lie awake think
ing of the hard times? Not much. It
is true that if he owes more than he is
able to pay, or if he has bought more
land than he can work, he is in trouble,
and now something must be sacrificed;
but this dilemma was bound to appear,
panic or no panic. Most farmers are out
of debt, or they owe SO little they can
see their way clear, and the sun rises and
sets as aforetimes; the COWS give milk,
the butter comes, hens lay eggs, hogs
fatten, and the country grist mill runs
just as though Jay Cooke had never
smashed and his satellites with him.
The truth, is farming is an institution
founded on such a solid financial basis
that it can never break. The farm is
not only bank, it is a mint, making its
own mony, which is worth just much
for the use of mankind as it was 1000
years ago, and as it will be worth 1000
years from to-dy, and although this
money is not exactly the same as green
backs and specie, it Is better, for it I'M
derlies all others, and goes before them,
and makes all other things that are
worth much under the stars possible.
And yet we have been hearing all along
that this institution of the farm does not
pay. Let man travel this world all
over like Rosin the Bow; try every
thing, be everything, he will come al
last to see that the surest thing is farm,
well stocked and titled, and that there
is no warmer place on earth than by the
farmers kitchen fire.

Distance in Colorado.

4 correspondent in Georgetown, Col
orado, vouches for the truthfulness Of
the following:
1t Is well known that in high attitudes,
owing 10 the rare6ed air, objects are Wis
ible at great distance; and from the
city of Denver, the Rocky Mountains,
although some sixteen miles distant,
seem but a very short way off. An Eng
lish gentleman, tourist, came in on the
Kansas Pacific train one morning, fresh
from the old country, stopped at the
Inter-Ocean Hotel in Denver, and soon
made the acquaintance of two of the
tivated with the appearance of the
mountains, and suggested to the two
"old citizens" that, as the mountain
range was such a very short distance
from the city, they should all take
walk to it, and return in time for din
ner The two 'old citizens" saw
chance for some fun, and immediatly
consented. The trio started west, and
walked toward the mountains Tor some
two hours and half and the mountains
seemed as far off as ever The English
msn was good walker, and kept lit
tie in advance of his friends. Finally
they saw him deliberatly sit down, as he
came to a small irrigating ditch, per-
haps two feet wide, and began taking off
his boots and stockings. When they
came up to where he was sitting they
asked him, in some surprise, what he
was doing that for. The Englishman
said he was going to wade the stream.
Both the "old citizens" looking at HIM
with astonishment, asked why he didn't
step across it."
"Step across itp' replied the Britisher
-"step across it! Not I. What do 1
know about distances in your blasted
country?"

An observing correspondent in the
Western Rural gives the following hints
on the subject: How to keep situation,
"Be ready to throw in an odd half or
an hours time when it will be an accom-
mediation, and don't seem to make merit
of it. Do it heartily. Though not a
word be said, your employer will make a
note of it. Make yourself indispensable
to him, and he will lose many Of the OPP
posite kind before he will part with you.
Those young men who watch the clock
to see the very second their working hour
is up-who leave, no matter what state
the work may be in, at precisely the in
stant-who calculate the extra amount
they can slight their work and yet moi
get reproved-who are lavish Of their
employer'sgoods-will always be the first
to receive notice, when times are dull
that their services are no longer requir.

DELAWARE PEACH CRoP.--The fruit
growers of Delaware held a meeting on
Monday, at Dover, at which the prospects
Of the peach crop were discussed. It was
agreed that the buds in Southern Dele
ware and counties in Maryland Of same
latitude, or farther South, are almost en-
tirely killed, having been in full bloom
at the time of the sharp frost Of the llth
and 18th of April. In Middle Delaware
the early varieties are generally safe
North of Dover the crops are still prom
ising, and in Newcastle county, inelud'
ing some of the best orchards of the state
the buds of all varieties are substantially
uninjured. The prospect, therefore, VI
to this time, is good for an average crop
and the growers estimate il at 1000, ,00(
baskets, which is probably too low fg

A farmer living in Oxford county,
Maine, went down to town, not thous-
and miles from Portsmouth, for the pur-
pose Of purchasing yoke OF oxen, as
he had been informed that there was a
lot of very fine stock for sale by one of
the wealthy land owners Of the place.
Arriving in the best farming district of
the Cumberland county town, our friend
met a man driving an OK team, of whom
he inquired:
"Can you inform me where Mr..
Wall lives?"
"There's a number of Walls liye
around here. Which one did you wish
to fnd?" returned the stranger, who was
stoutly built, keen eyed man, habIted
in homespu-, but bearing in his general
appearance unmistable tokens of ease
and comfort, so far as finances was con-
cerned.
81 don't know what his Christian
name is" pursued our friend; "but he
is the owner of some very fine oxen"
"Well," responded the stranger, "they
all own pretty fair oxen.r
"But the one wish to find has oxen
for sale"
GAS for that, sir, guess they'd any OF
'em sell if they could get their price "
"But," exclaimed the Oxford county
man, "the Mr.. Wall wish to find is
quite wealthy"
"Yes; well, / recken there ain't any Of
'em very bad off, =" replied the other, with
a nod.
"My Mr.. WALL" continued our friend,
hesitatingly, "has been represented to
me as being a very close-fsted man, and
not scrupulously honest in all his trans
actions"
With a curious twinkle of the eye, and
a gentle pat upon the paunch of his near
OK, he said: "To tell you the truth, sir
I guess they're a close-fsted set all
round, and / never heard that honesty
run in the family. Isn't there some
thing else7"
"Yes," replied the searcher for oxen
desperately, "they say he has been caugh
in the act of robbing his own brother
chickencoop.
The stranger bowed and smiled.
81 guess Pm the man! Come with mt
and I'll show you as fine stock Of cat
tie as you can find in the State; and IL
you know what oxen are, there's no dan
ger of your being cheated"

Courtesy.

Nowhere is well-bred courtesy, the
lack of il, more observable than in travel
ing. On the steamboat and in the cars
the quiet observer readily detects those
who have been educated under refined in
fuences, or those who, without special
cultivation, are possessed of native polite
ness. 1t is not education alone, nor
wealth, nor high social position, nor COST
ly trappings that make one pleasant
travelling companion. There must exist
kindness of feeling toward strangers
general recognition of equal rights in the
comforts and conveniences provided for
the public, and quickeped discernment
for the needs of others. The gentleman
who spreads out his luggage on couple
of seats in the cars, and persistently reads
his newspaper, determinately unconsci-
GUS that others who have paid as much
as he has are looking in vain for seat,
is as truly ill-bred as the country girl
who noisely eats her pint of peanuts scat-
tering the shells on seat and floor, regard
less of the annoyance she gives her neigh
bors. In this democratic country we
travel in public conveyanees too much
as though they were our own private car
riages. How often the eleventh and
twelfth passenger in an omnibus, we
know they have full claim to a seat are
discomforted by the outspread garments
and inimovable attitudes and black faces
of those who may have entered the stage
before him. Common civility demands
that a movement be made to give room
until the complement is filled; afterward
courtesy and generosity will often prompt
to attentions which justice may not re-
quire. 1t is surprising how much the
comfort and pleasure of any journey,
whether long or short, is enhance by these
little nameless courtesies which are offer
ed instinctively and unofieiously to
strangers, by refined, well-bred travellers
and persons in whom native tact and de,
licacy almost make up for the lack of ed
ucatnig and refining influences for society

An Automatic Wonder.

A citizen of Lansingburgh, New
York, has completed q remarkable toy,
of which the following description .has
appeared: 1t is intended to represent,
in measure, the business portion of
small village. There are q serious of
houses or compartments, each devoted
to some special branch Of industry, and
the whole surmounted by a tower, on
which there is a town clock and chime
of bells. Commencing at the left hand
side of the machine is lager beer gar
den, with figures sitting around table
drinking. At intervals they raise the
mugs to their lips, and man stands be-
side the beer keg drawing the lager. To
the right is shepherd tending his flock.
Beside him is a maiden, at whom he oc-
casionally "makes eyes," and he also per-
forms on fageolet held in his hands.
The saw mill is fac simile of such an
institution. The log is in its place, and
slides along to meet the teeth of the saw,
which is working up and down, cutting
it in two. The attendants are all busy
IN their several duties. The grist-mill
is also going. One man Is tending and
feeding the hopper. Every now and
then he goes back and forth with tray
upon his shoulders, the contents of which
he pours into the mouth of the hopper.
The great water-wheel is moving steadi-
ly under the pressure of the water from
above, and the elevator keeps up its show
of relieving a canal-beat of its load OF
grain. The oil mill is at work, and the
figures are all busy about it performing
their several missions. A carpenter
walks up and down ladder while al
his work. The scissors grinder is en-.
gagged at his vocation. An artists looks
out of the window of his house and of
| fers pinch of snuff to the miller's boy
while the old miller sits on a balcony
reading books and papers which an at
tendant from time to time brings out tc
him. A woman in one house hands 6
man a fiddle, on which he is expected tC
play. Another woman watches for hel
lover, but is watched in turn by a jeal

A New Fuel

A Belgian tenant has made the extra
ordinary discovery that earth, coal and
soda, mixed up together, would burn as
well and better than any other combust-
ible, and the fact has since then been
proved beyond a doubt. The way in
which he found this out is curious. He
had been scraping the floor of his cellar
with shovel, in order TO bring all the
bits of coal lying about into a heap,
which, mixed as it was with earth and
other impurities, he put into his stove.
To his astonishment he found that this
accidental compound burned BETTER in
stead of worse, than he expected and G.
mItted much greater heat. Being an in
telligent man, he endeavored to discover
the cause, and found that a great deal of
soda, probably the remnant of the wash
lay about on the floor of the cellar; and
that some of it must have got Into his
heap. He then made few experiments,
and at length improved his compound
sufficiently to render it practical. The
publicity given in Belgium to this dis
covery caused trials to be made elsewhere,
and it has now been ascertaincd that
three parts of earth and one of coal-dust
watered with a concentrated solution of
soda, will burn we'll and emitssgreat heat.
Many Partisan papers talked of it, but
only one, The Moaiteur, went so far as
to make the experiment at its printing
Office. A certain quantity af friable and
slightly sandy earth was mixed with the
quantum of coal dust prescribed; the two
ingredients were well incorporated with
each other, and then made into a paste
with the solution above mentioned. The
fireplace of one Of the boilers had pre-
viously been lighted with coal, and the
fire was kept up with shovelsful of the
mixture. The latter, in few seconds,
was transformed into dry, brown crust
which soon after became red-hot, and
then burned brightly, but without being
very rapidly consumed.

Wholesale Slaughter of Geese by
Lightning.

On Monday, the 10Th instant, an al
most incredible occurrence transpired in
the northern part ofSutter and the south
ern part of Butte county. On Monday
evening, just before sunset, large thun-
der-cloud came up, apparently from the
northwest, accompanied by an unusual
amount of chain-lightning. First a
small amount of common hail fell, and
then followed sufficient snow to whiten
the ground. AS the hail began to fall
and the lightning flashed, thousands of
white geese, which were in the ponds of
shallow water which exist in that local
ity during very wet winters, suddenly
rose up in great hutter, as if many
hunters had discharged volley among
them. They went up and up, apparent
ly to rise above the fearful cloud. 1t
was nearly dark, and those who saw them
rise thought no more of it till morning,
when they began to find dead geese and
hear of hundreds being picked up
by the neighbors. Some 700 had been
found. One man picked up, on his farm,
all two horses could haul, for their feath-
ers. Their heads were badly torn, and
their bills split into fragments. Many
of them had the feathers of their back
crisped and burnt, and their bodies
bursted open. The portion of country
thus affected was about mile and a hal
wide, and reached several miles int
Butte county. The terrific lightning il
this cloud was witnessed by the peopl,
