Last week we attempted to mention the many
different fast horses now in training at the fair
grounds AID were more than mortified at the
bungling manner in which the printer left the
article in not correcting his proof. The article,
it seems, did injustice to Mr.. John L. Grove the
gentleman who rents the fair grounds and who,
with Mr. A. B. Grove, has the largest lot Of good
horses on the grounds.

Park, Ottawa, ILL.,, by John l.. & A. B. Grove who

APPLBs.-Mr... Joseph Harris tells in the
Americdm Agriculturtist how he raised a crop
of Northern Spy apples on four acres, which
sold for $l,25G.50 Several trees yielded five
barrels each, and on count, 1856, 1870, 2lS and
222 apples filled barrel. He attributes his
success to a proper thinning of the fruit in
summer. If, when the fruit sets too full, you
pich one half the number, you will have the
same bulk of apples in the fall, and being so
much larger and more perfect, will bring
twice the money

Mr.. King, Of Minnesota, had a short horn
sale at Chicago last week, at which some Of
the prices paid for cattle were rather remark
able. An Engllshmen bought the Second
Duke OF Hllhurst" for $4,000. The English
evidently put higher value upon dukes
than they do in America. Fifteen cows
brought $4,000 We hope the COWS werC
worth it, and that the big prices are no mere
advertising dodge. 1t is, however, little
singular that at forced sale, week earlier
of blooded cattle, said to be quite as good as
these, the prices were little above what com
mon stock usually brings.

AnecdOte of Macready.

One of the few anecdotes relating to
the life of Macready, the actor. is the
following, printed in the London Or
chestra: Half a century ago, while
playing in Birmingham, England, Mac
ready passed burning house in poor
neighborhood. "While the flames as
cended," says the narrator, ga cry arose
that there was child asleep in one of
the upper stories, but no one tried to
save it. The representative of Corio-
Janus. Virginius, and RolLd instantly
doffed his coat, which he gave in charge
to q bystander, and rushed into the
burning dwelling, returning in a few
moments with the almost suffocated in
FAINT. Nobody knew him, and the event
would probably have been forever con-
cealed had not the holder of the coat
disappeared with it. An act so noble
succeeded by a theft 80 disgraceful
found its way into the Birmingham
newspapers and while the whole town
was ringing with praise of the rescuer
and calling for his name, public e1ecra-
tion was directed against the mean
thief. While curiosity was at its height,
the thief entered o pawnbroker's shop
in the town for the purpose of pledging
the garment. Happily the person to
whom it was rendered, having seen an
account of the fire, examined the coat
minutely, and discovering something
to fx the ownership, detained the pos
SCISSOR of the stolen property, and thus
the good Samaritan stood revealed"

my eyes, I saw her worth and, child
as was, appreciated her self-denying
attentions. Nurse told me of the days
of care, and sleepless nights of anxiety
that she passed at my side.
"Need I tell you, Caroline, resumed
Mrs. Marshall, after a short pause,
''that the identical Alice was myself,
and the dreaded stepmother was my
own?"
'.And you learned to love her ?" asked
Caroline.
''As an own parent. Gratitude ard
love took the place of dislike and aver
sion. To the day of her death e1pe-
rienced nothing save kindness at her
hands. Her memory is revered, and
her virtues remembered"
"You have nearly convinced me, 1
must confess" said Caroline, thought
fully. 81 shall view the subject in
different light in future"
"Do SO. And when you hear step
mothers disparaged, and their conduct
censured, hear both sides; for in nine
cases out of ten they are blameless.
Kest assured, Caroline, they are more
sinned against than SHINING.

The Bellies Of Seville.

Seville women justify the reputation
fcf beauty more thoroughly than those
of any other Spanish city; prettiness is
a more appropriate term to specify their
personal attractions. They resemble
each other to a surprising degree, as in
all pure races of marked type. Their
eyes, fringed with long black lashes,
produce an effect of white and black un-
known to our colder, less passionate
cline. It seems as if the sun had left
its reflection in those magnificent orbs,
noticeable in the face of some
two years old child and in the gypsy
girls Of France. The cleaning and CLAN
cling and the burning of these eyes has
a very expressive word in Spanish
called ojear, which is full of subtle
meaning, ,although these eye-thrusts,
SO embarrassing to strangers, have moth
ing particularly significant. The large,
ardent, velvety eyes of a young Sevil-
lane glance upon dog in the street
with the same intensity she would be-
stow upon some more worthy object.
The exquisite smallness of the ladies'
feet is too we'll known to dwell upon;
many could be easily held in a child's
hand, and the fair Andalusians are just
ly proud of this quality, and wear shoes
accordingly, not differing SO very much
from the Chinese shoes.

Postage Stamps.

As soon as postage stamps emerge
from the hydraulic press, they are
gummed. The paste is made from clear
starch, or its dextrine, which is acted
upon chemically and then boiled, form
ing clear, smooth, slightly sweet mix
ture. Each sheet of stamps is taken
separately, placed upon a flat board,
and its edges covered with light metal
frame. Then the paste is smeared on
with large whitewash-brush, and the
sheet is laid between two wire racks and
placed on a pile with others to dry.
Great care is taken in the manufacture
of this paste, which is perfectly harm
less. This gratifying fact has been
conclusively proved by an eminent
chemist. After the cumming, another
pressing in the hydraulic press follows.
Then another counting; stamps are
counted no less than thirteen times
during the process of manufacture.
The sheets are then cut in half, each
portion containing one hundred stamps,
this being done by girls with ordinary
hand-shears. Next follows the perfora-
tiop, which is performed by machinery.
The perforation is first made in per-
pendicular line, and afterward in a
horizontal line. Another pressing fol-
lows-this time to fiatten the raised
edges on the back of the stamps made
by the dies, and this ends the manu-
facture,

Boston Flower Mission.

They have a delightful charity at
Boston, called the Boston Flower
Mission," the object Of which is to
tighten up the sick wards of hospitals
with gifts OF flowers, and by their pres
ence to cheer the hearts Of the poor
suffering patients by their fragrance and
beauty. During the past five months
the ladies of this mission have received
nearly eight hundred contributions of
flowers and one hundred and thirteen
Of fruit, and in the same period the
number of their flower distributions
exceeded thirteen Thousand, and the
fruit distributions nearly reached six
teen hundred. The wealthy in Boston
sent liberally of the flowers and fruit
from their Conservatives for this gra-
cious charity, and great numbers in the
adjacent cities joined to swell the beau
tiful and heart-gladdening gifts. One
person, who is known in Boston as 'the
Pansy- during the past flower
season, brought in over six thousand of
the beautiful purple flower after which
he is named, which were distributed
among the sick ''for thoughts" This
is q graceful charity, and certainly is of
the kind that is "twice blessed"

Peruvian Way Of keepingdn
appearances.

4 writer says the Peruvians in Lima
resort to the most remarkable means to
make both ends meet. Daily, and al
most hourly, there knocks at the door
of our house in the calle-hone, or side
entrance to our back-courtyard, little
Chinese or Cholo boy, with a mysteri
Gus bundle under his arm. This boy is
the "small servant" of some (hitherto)
well-to do native family. Asking to see
the mistress, or the young ladies, or
even addressing himself to the head of
the house (Which, 1 claim, is, or should
be a MANI, he opens his bundle, tied up
in q shawl or table-cloth, and exposes a
dress, well worn and soiled; a white
skirt, befrilled and befounced, and
having been worn since it last saw the
laundress pair of child's shoes 1t
may be diamond ring or pin; under
clothes of all kinds o manta or veil
for the head; every conceivable article
of wearing apparel. even to a set of
false teeth, aud false curls, and liquid
cosmetics and. in a solemn, genteel
manner, he relates that Signora or Sig
noretta Somebody Fictitious name), his
mistress, has been very i'll, and has be-
come entirely out of money for present
necessities, and desires you to purchase
this little article, that she can easily
dispense with, for the trifiing sum of so
many soles. He will generally take
anything you may offer him in cash.
This same programme is enacted over
and over again daily. l have often said
to these family servants, "Why do you
always say your mistress is sick Why
not tell the truth, and say that they
need money to keep mp appearances ?"
But they have been taught too well and
practiced too often. There is nothing
under heaven that these Peruvian wo-
men viii not sell to keep up the pecu-
liar style in which they have been liv-
ing. They will have but one dress and
one manta in all the world, and not
bed or chair in the house; but that
manta must be of as fine quality, and
the embroidery and lace on it as per-
feet, as if they were not driven to all
these petty meannesses and lies to keep
up appearances.

"Belgrave square, though its man.
sions are tenanted by the old nobility
and gentry, is comparatively new. 1t
is, however, the most gorgeous, if it be
the youngest, of London squares. The
central space is large, the grounds well
the walks and water well dis

between town and country, Hyde Park
lying behind it, st. James Park be-

thoroughfares in the vicinity being
