A Congressman Driving a Street Car.

As car No. 10, Of the Market street
line, was coming down that street, yes
terday afternoon, the mules baked at a
bio pool of water on Eighth street,
caused by the rain filling an excavation
made in laying the track for the new
street railroad Across the pool the
mules would not go, and the driver
strove in vain to make them. The pas
sengers began to fumc and fret the bust
ness men were impatient to get down
town, and the ladies' were annoyed at the
unexpected delay to their promenades
through the dry goods stores. The
&c iii.t up there" of the driver came
in through the car door, and heightened
the Impotence OF the passengers without
hasleGing the mules. Finally, II gentle
man who sat near the head of the CARA
rather spare man, with sandy mustache,
and face with good many lines in it
rose and went TO the front door Of the
car. After surveying the Intellectual ef
forts of the driver for a few moments,
he said to him. "Givc me the rcins "
The driver yielded. The gentleman took
the lines with practiccd air An cleo.
trIc current seems to run along the lines
and communicate to the mules an idea
that q man was ut the other end who
knew how to drive, and they had to 90
whether they would or not. The next
moment they went calmly, but rapidly,
through the pool. He drove clear down
the street to the end Of the line, where
the regular driver received charge Of the
mules again.
The gentleman was the Hon. Erassus
Well, member of Congress from the See.
ond district Of Missouri. Years ago, he
used to lrive 'hus, aud to day he can
handle the rcins as well as any driver on
the line Of cars which he established, and
Of which he is president. When those
mules felt his hand on the rcins. they
knew that here was a man who could turn
a six horse bus in the narrowest street
Of St Louis without spilling passenger.

Save Your Wheat.

The following is an extract fiom a
correspondence to the Memphis Appeal,
suggesting how wheat can be best saved,
which we deem well worth the perusal
of every farmer. Read il;
81 Let it be fully ripe before cutting,
follow Immediately behind the reaper,
bind and tie and put up in well'arranged
compact shocks Of from twelve TO four
teen bundles, and let it be well and strong.
ly capped In tolerably fair weather, in
about fourteen or fifteen days, it will be
ready for the thresher and cleaner Let
it he well dried before delivering TO the
miller: it is far best both for him and
the farmers A merchantable bushcl OF
wheat, well cleaned aud dried, weighs
sixty pounds. Wheat should never be
allowed TO remain on the ground any
length of time after cutting, especially II
the sun is shining bright and warm. AL
moisture is soon driven from the wheat
and an immediate absorption Of noxious
and deleterious gases and vapors from
the earth begins, and there is no process
of eradication. A few hours delay ma,
ruin or laint ones whole crop. The
farmer should always avoid this error
If it is desired to keep or garner tho
wheat any length of time, common sal
should be freely used, putting it at ih'
Bottom Of the bin or garner, and sprnk
ling it along at intervals from bottom tC
top 1t keeps the grain sound and dry
and is a sure remedy al l',st the bug Of
