4N4NnSIgG SCENE IN COURT.

that Judge should know something OF
cards. IL he does not he IS always la
BILE to have the gravity and dignity OF his
court disturbed by scene similar to one
which happened Judge Servis, Associate
Justice Of the First District Court. 1t
was a case of a quarrel over cards, and
an assault and battery, and the FIRST wit
ness was one Bob Gibbons:
The witness" Well, we sat down to
the table Anderson sat there, Parks
here, and / there (making diagram on
the clerks table; Parks dealt the cards
went blind; Anderson went blind over
me, and Parks would not see him
The Judge, who is little deaf, was in
the habit,of making an ear-trumpet OF
his hand, and throwing his head little
forward and sideways. Having gone
through this pantomime; he interrupted
the witness by asking him:
"What was the reason that Parks did
not see Anderson S-
The witness replied, " don't know,
but he would not see him"
Proceed, said the Judge,
"Well, saw him, he saw, and Just at
that minute" -
"Stop, sir, said the Judge, throwing
himself into hearing attitude, " Did !
understand you to say you went blind 2
Yes, sir, went blind, and Ander-
so a, he went blind, and Parks would not
see him, but | saw Anderson, and then
he saw
Witness" exclaimed the Judge,
striking the bench with his clenched
fist, "do hear you right, sir Do you
say that you went blind, and then you
sawG" at
ayes, sir, replied the witness. !
saw Anderson, and Anderson saw, and
just at that"
"Stop, sir" said the Judge. "Mr
Clerk, fine the witness $50 for contempt
Of court, and direct the Sheriff to take
him to JAIL and there keep him until he
receives further orders from the Court.
Call up'the next case Mr.. Clerk.
Bob Gibbons was dumbfounded, and
did not awake to the reality Of his condi-
ton until the Sheriff laid his hands on
him, when he exclaimed IA
GOOD gracious, Mr.. Judge, what have
done that | must go to Jail p
The Judge, who was purple with rage,
did not deign to reply to poor Gibbons,
but reiterated the order, with increased
vehemehce, and the members Of the bar,
who had been anticipating the fix that
Bob would eventually be placed in, were
convulsed with laughter, which increased
the rage Of the Judge to the highest
pitch. The prosecuting attorney endea-
vored to enlighten the Judge, and event
'ually succeeded, but not until he had
produced a pack Of cards, and after
dealing out three hands, made the blind
as clear as dayto the Judge
The fine and imprisonment were re-
mitted, order was restored in the Court,
and Gibbons was allowed to proceed
with his testimony. COO.OI

IT WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM of the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an adherence of intemper-
ance andits kindred vices, to make their
slaves drunk with wine in the public
municipalities, SO that the rising gene
ration, upon whom would some day de-
volve the honor and safety of the Lace
demonian Republic, might see before
them all the CHASTITY details of the
drunkard's disgrace, his loss of reason,
and of physical strength. 'Twere well,
perhaps, to-day, could some of oul
young men contemplate a similar in.
structive lesson drawn from the life,
showing them, by a sharply drawn con
trast, the advantages and true loneliness
of abstinence and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, VINE
GAR BITTERs is the beverage best
adapted, it being purely a vegetable
draught, devoid of alcohol or mineral
poisons, and possessing all the virtues,
but none of the damning curses of the
different poisons which year by yeal
are sweeping away thousands of dollars
and lives.-Com.

The Names "JOhn'' and William"

Ever since the Conquest, Mr.. Bards-
ley informs us that the race for popu-
lality among Christian names in Eng
land has been greatest between "John"
and civilian" In the age after the
arrival of the Normans William" was
the commonest Christian name. In
Domesday, for instance, there are 6S
civilians" 4S Roberts," and 80
"Walters," but no "Johns. In 1773,
at banquet given at the Court of Hen
ry H., it was commanded that none but
those of the name of William"
should dineat it, and accordingly 100
civilians" all knights, sat down to
the table. In Edward [. s time this dis
proportion had become less marked,
for in a list of Wiltshire names, CON
tanning 5SS, there are 90 Williams"
to SS Johns" In a century after
"John' had outstripped its competitor.
In 1347 out of 1873 Common Councilmen
for London, 80 were "Johns, p" the next
highest name being William, with II,
while Thomas" in consequence of
the canonization of Beckett, springs into
notoriety with Is. In 13S5the guild of
ST. George, at Norwich, in a total of
$40 names, possessed 12S "Johns' to
~ civilians" and Al Thomases. :"
From this period, owing to the two
saints who bore that name, and despite
the aversion felt for the worthless Mon
arch who had also borne it, "John" re-
tanned its supremacy, and to this cir
cumstance we owe the name 'John
Bull, as well as the jean Gotham, y
by which the French called us all
through the Middle Ages. William"
retained, as Mr.. Bardsley says. ga
sturdy second place" 1t Jared worst
at the hands of the Puritans, who re-
iected it as Pagan name, with horror :;
but it recovered its ascendancy with
William of Orange and the Protestant
Revolution, and 1t now stands, as it did
eight centuries ago, at the head of
all the names IN our baptismal regis
tiers. while John has again sunk into
the second place. English Sur
names.

Roots for stock.

Mangolds should be sown as early ms
the soil becomes warm and can be put
III good condition, as a general rule
from about the first to the tif-
teenth of May. Soak the seed for
twCnty-four to thirty-six hours in warm
water and dry it by mixing with lime,
plaster or ashes. After raking of the
stones and Jumps from the SUBMITS OF
the ridges it may be sown with the com
mon seed drill using seed ut the rate
of five to seven pounds to the acre. Or
the seed may beplanted by hand. Pass
along with the hoe, and from the sum
mits of the ridges nick out the dirt at
distances of ten to fifteen inches, ac-
cording TO the condition of the soil and
the variety. The richer the soil the
greater the distance may be. The globe
varieties require more room than the
long In these hicks drop three or -four
seeds, and cover with fine earth, which
may be readily obtained by taking with
the hoe from the side of the ridge.
Cover from one to two inches deep.
The latter method, while more labori-
Gus IN itself, saves much time and labor
IN wedding and thinning.
The long red and the Usage or yellow
globe are the favorite varieties of the
mangold. The white sugar beet is also
in very high favor with some feeders.
The long red mangold Is preferred on
deep and light soils that are notin very
high condition, since on such 1t yields
better than the orange globe. The
orange or yellow globe has higher
feeding value and is the best to grow
on rich, moderately stiff soils.
OF turnips there are three classes of
varieties :--swedes or ruta- bagas, vel
lows and whites, the last two being SO
called from the color of the flesh.
Where roots are grown on large scale
these three classes are grown for sue
cessive feeding. Swedes require the
longest period for growth, are the most
compact of flesh, and the best keepers.
They are therefore sown first, and are
not fed until the yellows and whites
have been consumed. The yellow va
rleties stand next in the possession OF
these qualities. The white varieties
make the most rapid growth, are the
softest and the poorest keepers. They
are therefore the latest sown and the
first fed.
Turnip seed of whatever kind may
be sown with a seed drill. Swedes
should be sown during the month Of

ssThat New World Which is the DID,

Death the inscrutable, silent and pale,
stood one day at a chancel rail,
Where kneIt girl hushed in prayer,
whose eyes shone III agony, terror, despair.
Death with wistful, gloomy lock,
Held out his arms and in them took
The maiden fair whose sunlight of hair
Mingled with Deaths as he held her there.
On her sweet lips, his he gently laid,
And clasping her closer he quietly said,
Maiden mine. lovely and pure,
Thou hast no lover fonder and truer
Than he who folds thee to his heart,
And in his love there is no smart
For thee so pure, so lovely, so fair
And he softly kissed her radiant hair.
Look, my love" and his hand he raised
To the chancel window, whercon there bazed,
Not the windows own dyes Of ruby and gold,
But pictured city of glory untold.
The vision OF a city whose battlements high
Were bathed in the wcndrous light of clear, calm
sky;
Sounds OF triumphant music in gusts swept down,
And in the maidcn's hair was Swallowed a crown
An odor of flowers to earth unknown
Filled the streets of the city, floating down from
Gods throne,
And the murmur of happiest voices from the vision
arose.
In the wonder of the moment the maid forgot hel
woes,
And turning to Death, her lover,
Whose tender eyes beamed above,
She, signing with bliss laid her head on his breast
And together they entered the laud of the blest.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Treatment Of Chicken Cholera.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
gives the following experience III chick
en- cholera
On the 10th INST, we received from
the king of Light Brahmas in Massa-
chusetts a box III which he had shipped
two Light Brahma pullets. The box
on its arrival contained only one, and
she sick with the cholera. Her mate
having died ON the way, the body was
removed by the express agent. This
surviving pullet showed very positive
symptoms of the cholera on the evening
of her arrival at the farm by the dis
charges from the bowels-greenish
white, streaked with sulphurous yellow
by the presence Of high fever and hel
refusal to eat as well as by her general
appearance. We gave her one dose, Is
drops, OF the preparation viz: "equa1
parts of the tlncture OF opium, red pep
per, rhubarb, peppermint and camphol
mixed and we'll shaken together" Late
that evening, | placed her in a clean
coop where she could get nothing at al
for food in her crop. We had III for
mer cases observed that such patients al
times pick up small scraps of almost
anything, and yet when offered good
food refused to eat.
On the second morning she seemed
to be worse. The fever and the loose.
ness of the bowels continued and she
still refused food. Gave several heavy
doses 90 to Is drops each) during the
day, and forced her to swallow as much
as teaspoonful of soft wheat bread
but allowed her no water.
On the third morning she seemed
about as the day before !; the discharges
continued and she still refused to eat.
Gave several heavy doses as before, and
made her eat little more soft bread.
BY evening the fever seemed to have
left her but still she would not eat
On the morning of the fourth day she
again refused food, but the discharges
had nearly ceased. Gave her a small
dose of the drops, and later In the dan
she ate of her own accord a little toast
ed wheat bread soaked in milk. Up tC
this time no water had been given her
but now, some strongly impregnateo
with sulphate of iron was offered and
she was permitted to take three or fOul
sips. IN the evening she ate more OF
the soaked toast, and was allowed tC
iTlllh Il llltlt more OF the water OI
the morning of the fifth day she seemed
TO be decidedly better and was anxious
TO have her breakfast Fed her spar
ingly on the soaked bread, and per
mitted her to drink little of the water
several times. We now observed fol
the first time natural-Iooking discharges
from the bowels. Wecontinued to feeC
her carefully and she improved rapidly
considering the low condition to which
she was reduced, and she Is now as gay
rs lark
This is a sample of many like eases
we have known to be cured III this way
varying somewhat in the frequency OF
size of the doses administered, or the
food given as no two cases viii always
run exactly alike.
The important points IN the treat
ment are, abstinence from food anC
drink particularly the latter-and the
checking of the discharges from the
bowels. Other drugs and medicines
may be found to answer the latter pur
pose rs we'll as the formula here given

The Invalid-A Pen Picture.

See her pallld countenance, but short time
ago the picture of ruddy health the envy of
the school and the pride of the household. She
was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for
her 1.-the form and pleasing disposition carried
,;heerfulness into their ranks. Dlhgent, pune
tual and exemplary, obedient and graceful at
home she won the hearts OF all. But alas,
we are sorrowed Those rosy cheeks and
rudy lips are blanched by Consumption.
The voice once so enchanting in laugh and song
is feeble husky and supplanted by hollow
cough. Let us approach her couch gently and
take her hand. Do not shudder because of
the feeble and passionless grasp. The hand
once so hearty and plump Is emaclated and
shows bony outlines, while the cords and tor
tuous veins are plainly mapped upon the sur
face. The pulse that bounded with repletion,
carry ing vigor to the whole system and I'M
parting life, beauty, vivacity, health and
strength, is delicate to the touch. The feeble
heart cannot propel the thin, scanty blood
with force Must we lose her while vet i'll her
teens? Companions and friends gather around
with words of cheer and consolation, and de-
part with moistened eyes and silent steps.
Must we lose her? No there is relief We
can stay this destroyer of our happiness and
not suffer the loss of so bright gem. Some
thing more is required now than dietary and
hygienic observance, for nature calls for aid
and she shall have it. Take this pleasant

force increased, and the heart bounds with a

ting clearer, and pleasant words are spoken
The strength falters yet but is gaining. Let
us take her out i'll the warm sunshine. In short
time she will be able to go without our aid, a

be God-blessed. 1t is restoring health to our

Whites-Large White Globe, Large

terms Purple Top and Green Top have
reference to the color of that portion of
the bulb above the surface of the soil.
and not to the color of the leaves.
Carrots require considerable time for
early as the 18th Of May if possible.
The termination of the seed is slow.
and should be assisted by soaking in
water twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
Then dry it by mixing with ashes or
plaster. Sow with a seed drill. About
four pounds are required for an acre.
Turnip or raddish seed, mixed and
sown with the carrot seed, will help the
young carrots in breaking through the
surface, and also better indicate the
rows when cultivation is required
The best varieties of carrots are the
Long Orange, the Altringham and
Large White Belgian. The White
Belgian yields well, but is coarser-
grained than the yellow varieties. &C

distressing. For example, a fashion
writer in one of the New York evening
newspapers describes the " tout

of the "6eau naonde," denounces one
style of dress fabrics as ''passe;;' talks
of hats as "chapeaur," which are
