A NIGHT In THE COUNTRY.

About eleven o'clock the dogs
take a tongue in. The faithful
watch dogs generally form them
selves into oranges, each contain
ing about 700 dogs, for mutual aid
and benefit in the illicit distillation
of mutton. Every night 100 dogs
steal away silently to kill sheep,
| while the otner 600 bark furiously,
to induce their owners to believe
they, like Hon. Elijah Pogram,
"active to their trust,n and to COW
er the bloody operations of their
fellows. Mt midnight the COW,
whose calf has been reft from her,
having reflected on her loss, lifts
up her voice and laments. The
lament ola sorrOwful cow in barn
is something sui gencsTs in the
matter OF sounds. In the first place
it takes her long time to become
loud, and an equally long time to
fill the barn with noise. But when
the building is crowded with moo
and il begins to leak out at the
windows and doors IN muffled and
melancholy thunder she has an
other long interval of rest to pre-
pare another blast ere the first Ill
ulation has been exhausted. about

responsive shower ofshoOting stars
There is an aw ul silence for about
twenty minutes. no animal daring
to call his voice his own then
the jackass sighs again. Just as
the country side Is congratnalating
itself that the infection is over, for
another interval of twenty min-
utes, he discharges third volley,
and then Is heard no more. You,
however, do not know that he has
broken a blood vessel or gone to
sleep; but, with dreadful uncer-
tainty as to when the next bray
will occur, put your head under

THELIFE0 OF INDIGO PLANTERS.

Some ak months In the year the
indigo planter I'm India is in the
saddle from six In tho morning
until noon experimenting the
blowing, the sowing, the wedding
and the reaping. About the end
of june, says the London Times.
"Mahayen begins, and lasts until
the beginning Of September. ma
hayeo is the manufacture OF the
Indigo, the MASKING and beating
OF 1t in great watts, and the treat
ment Of the stuff through various
stages until 1t emerges from the
"pressesp veritable indigo, worth
ever SO many ruples d pound
"Mahaye" occurs In the very hot
test part of the Indian year; but
the Indigo planter must disregard
the heat il he is to keep up his
character and earn commission.
He spends hours every day i'm d
little shed perched high over his
watts, whence he can superintend
the labors of the coolies, and see
for himself that the MASKING II
thorough, and the running off
takes place In the nick of time.
He must generally pervade the
press house, and it will not do for
him to be dainty over stain of
blue ON his hands or face. He
must superintend the storing, for
the mild Hindoo Is not proyerhial
for honesty, and feels tempted
when the chance offers To carry Off
n piece OF indigo, which will hard
~ make a knot in his cummer-
bund, and yet for which he can
reallzea rupee. When "Mahaye''
is over the cold weather Is think
ing Of setting In, and then, after
giving a start to his culiivation,
the indigo planter feels himself d
free man for a season. His holiday
time has come, and he is the man
who knows how to enjoy holt
day.
