DoS PIArr Of the Washington Capi-

its publication, says: at was said when
our senior editor visited Europe last
summer for the sole purpose of giving
rest to his gigantic intellect that he had
sold out his interest in this journal for
the pititul sum of twenty-five thousand
dollars. He would as soon quit-claim
his title to mansions in the skies for a
few North Pacific or Seneca Sandstone
bonds. And now we see running like
the epizootic the story that the same
gentleman has sunk sixteen thousand
dollars in the Capital. "How this world
is given to lying" To the wide circle
of our readers-which includes not only
our own land, but six subscribers in
Canada, two in New Jersey, and thou

THE DIFFICULTIES OF PROSPECTIVE MArRr.
MoNY.-It is said that Sir Walter Camp
bell, who was lately in mercantile
firm in New York, wished to marry an
American young lady, of good position
in the Empire State. Upon his apply
ing to the young lady's father, the par.
ent stated that he always referred all
those questions to his wife. The moth.
err, in her turn, stated that she must re.
fer it to the Duke Of Argyll. The Duke
pleaded that, considering his connection
with royalty, he must consult his eldest
son. The Marquis could do nothing
without the Queens consent. Her mai.
esty felt that the issue must be referred
to the Duke of Saxe-Cobourg- Gotha, as
head of the family. The Duke rejoined
that, since the recent changes in Ger
many, he looked upon the Emperor
as his sovereign, and must bow
to his advice. The Emperor said he
could do nothing without Prince Bis.
marks opinion; and Prince Bismark
declared he had no opinion at all, one
way or the other; and so the question
to marry or not to marry-was|
brought to dead lock.-Pen and p.op.

CHARMING is that faculty of the hui
man mind which enables one to drop
into poetry like Mr.. Wegg upon any oc-
casion, no matter how prosaic, which
throws a soft light of romance around
bread and cheese, and irradiates the
commonplace soul with beauty. Such
is the faculty possessed by noble po-
ct of Chicago, who was recently in
formed that Madame Nilsson had
thoughtfully built a shelterfor her cows,
on her land at Peoria. Mindful of the
catastrophe which led to the destruction
Of his native city, he Immediately burst
into this wild and beautiful frenzy of
verse: christine, Christine, thy milk
ing do the morn and eve between, and
not by the dim, religious light of the
fitful kerosine. For the cow may
plunge, and the lamp explode, and the
fire fiend ride the gale, and shrek the
knell of the burning town in the glow
of the molten pail"

MEDICAL QuAcKs. amount Of mon
|ey paid to medical quacks in this and
other cities every year is much greater
than is supposed, and the ingenious
ways in which large sums are extorted
from their frightened dupes should be
better understood, not only by those
who are in danger Of becoming their
victims, but by the officers of the law.
We recently became cognizant of a case
which, although fragrant and cruel to
the last degree, is no worse than hun
dreds of others occurring every day in
the dens of these thieves, scattered
through some Of the less frequented
streets Of the city.
A gentleman who had in his employ
a young man of Industrious habits and
upright character, recently called upon
us and stated that he feared the young
man had fallen into the hands of a
quack in the city, who was taking all
his earnings, and endeavoring to fleece
him of every dollar of his property.
He had solicited the loan of 500, which
he confessed he desired to pay to a
French doctor CD who proposed to
cure him Of a dangerous disease. The
gentleman desired us to aid him in at
tempts to save the victim from the
clutches of the quacks, and, as he had
been unable to inauene him, proposed
that we allow him an interview.
This we did, and learned that the
young man really had no disease what
ever; that, fancying that he was sick
from reading the advertisements in a
newspaper, he called upon the adver-
Using doctor, who, after humping his
ribs and sounding" him with stetho-
scope, pronounced him "far gone in con-
sumption. He had already been taking
his nostrums six months, paying large
sums therefor; but at the last visit to
the great French doctor he had discov-
cred another disease, which he could
not undertake to cure for less than
81 900 cash in hand. AS a special ia
vor TO him however, he would cure the
malady for 500 in advance; and this
sum he was endeavoring to raise by
mortgaging his little property, and rem
dering him almost penniless The quack
was very urgent, telling him that death
stared him in the face" and if he did not
raise the money at once, and commence
with his medicine it would soon be too
late
The young man, Of fair intelligence,
was completely deluded and thorough
~ frightened by the artful quack, aud
j, required much skill and effort TO un-
deceive him. Ii is indeed strange that
persons possessing a common school ed
ncaiion can fall into such traps: and vet
there are thousands bound hand and foot
10 these miserable advertising quacks,
who, operating through their fears
ire cxtoriing from them every dollar
hey possess. The sums taken are Of
en- very large. and the iniquity is of
40 mean proportion. To detect and pun
sh the offenders is a difficult matter:
nut il does seem that some plan might
,e devised by which the cities and large |
owns should bc rid of class of inn

MEMORY BELLS are ringing-ringing-
In the distance, far away;
Do YOU hear them notwithstanding?
Will you tell me what they say?
Do YOU hear their silver Ginning?
Do YOU hear their mellow rhyming?
Do You hear the dear, sweet story
OF your childhoods far off glory?
Do they take you back to years
Clouded by no haunting fears?
Do they speak Of sunny hours
When your way was strewn with flowers,
When a rainbow arched your sky.
And when faith stood smiling by?
They are toiling -toiling slowly;
Here the echos die away
Tender. lowly, sad, and holy;
Will you tell me what they say!
Do they tell of manhoods dreaming?
Do they tell of bright eyes beaming?
Do they tell of fond words spoken?
Do they tell of young hearts broken?
Do they tell of hopes ysu cherished!
Do they tell how faith has persisted?
Do they tell how, night and day,
Cruel Fate has tracked her prey?
Do they tell OF proud hopes blasted.
And of hfe's sweet treasures wasted!
Memory-bells are pealing-pealing-
Der the ruins by the way
Through the minds dim chamber stealing;
Will you tell me what they say?
Has your heart lost all its lightness?
Has your life lost all its brightness:
Has your day.star set in gloom!
Do you hear the voice of Doom
Mocking every groan that bursts
From the aching heart that thirsts
For the love it ne'er may share,
And the joys il ne'er may wear,
For the light by clouds ercast,
For the glories OF the past?
Iemory- Bells, Memory Bells. softly you're ringing
Through years Of long silence, hear you TO day
oothiug to rest with the notes you are winging;
Oh Memory Bells shall tell what you say
'ver long years you are bearing me back
'ver each step Of the desolate track
'ver temptation, and yielding, and sin;
'ver the hurry and whirl. and din
II life that was dark and kneel once more

Sow none but the largest and most perfect ker
nels. 1t has been my practice for the last six
teen or eighteen years to run my wheat for seed
over a very coarse seed screen, as to SOW none
but the very largest kernels. By so doing have
improved my wheat so that have sold pearly all
of my wheat at home for seed. But in 1871 l hit
upon a new plan. l had a piece of Treadwell
wheat that was injured by insects in the previous
fall and killed by rigor of the winter, so that
there were spots not worth cutting After harvest
observed few scattering heads of unusual size,
Ii occurred to me that there was wheat that had
withstood the ravages of the insects and the rig
or of the winter. l gathered enough to sow one
rod square, from which l realized twenty pounds
of wheat, of unusually large, even berry, which
was at the ratio of over fifty bushels per acre;
last harvest had twenty bushels which weighed
sixty-six pounds to the bushel. 1t is my opinion
that we realize the best crops from the best and
most perfect seed in the vegetable as well as the
animal kingdom.-Cor. RHral Nep Yorker.
