sweet Time.

sweet time Of apple bloom!
When winds breath low and calm;
And all the earth enchanted seems,
As wrap'd In sweet and blissful dreams
The pulse bests softly, lest throb
The vision might dispel.
Sweet time of apple bloom!
When through the perfumed atr
The birds fit lightly, to and fro,
Sing softly, chirp, and twitter low;
As II the broodIng wings OF peace
Hover'd the new born spring.
sweet time Of apple bloom!
When boughs, fresh garlanded,
Distant WOO the bee with rosy lip,
From golden hearts the sweet to sip.
And DER the sparkling nectar sing,
Their song Of full content.
sweet time Of apple bloom!
When life It's love renews,
And, clasping memory's faithful hand,
Goes through the shadow-haunted land.
Adown that sacred Appian Way
No alien feet may tread.
Sweet time Il apple bloom!
When haunting beauty Nils
The eager eye, tho longing heart,
That worn with storm's and sorrow'
smart,
Hees In thy bloom fair prototype
OF an immortal spring.

A SAD story comes from Saratoga about
John Morrisey. John prides himself on
being the friend Of the working man and
puts in a plea for their receiving good pay
on the ground that every laborer is worthy
Of his hire. This be has for long time
Haunted to the public. But terrible story
now floats over from Saratoga, where Mr..
Morrissey has 4 number of laborers en-
ployed, tha, he pays fifty cents a day less to
than anybody else does. Verify, Mr.. Nor
rissey seems to have gone hack on his prin-
ciples Of liberality.

With reference to the merits Of the Lon
iSiana question, the speech OF Senator COnk-
ling on the subject yesterday was cOnfeSScdIy
brilliant OTatOrical effort, and one OF the
ablest defences OF the administration that has
Vet been made. His vindication OF Sheridan
was elOquently phraSei. and there was an
evident desire in the large audience 10 APP
plaud on several occasions. Especially when,
referring To the uttcrance of another Senator
VINO had asserted that Sheridan was unf to
breathe ;he free air of Il republic, he said that
when the children of the republic become
so degenerate as to think this OF Sheridan
then IL will be- time to burn all the records of
our country. dance on the tomb at Mount
Vernon. and tear down the Ol,eliSk at Bunker
Hell" All demonstrations OF applause or
diSapprObatiOn, however. are now eIectuaIIy

Tie New York UOrtd has Thought fll vyor,I
TO say about the danger of the destruction q
valuable government records and paperS
through the want of fire-proof storage quar-
ters- The Uorid thinks that 1.-the destruction
OF both the War and Navy department build
ings-this is the second time that the latter
has been in imminent danger-might impress
members of Congress with the wholesome
idea that money spent in fire-proOf buildings
for the keeping OF the government archives
would be more prOfitably spent than that

We again renew our suggestion that the
regular meeting day OF the Sena.s Commit
zee on the District of Columbia be changed
from Friday TO some other day. The o1jec-
ton 10 Friday i basel on the fact. as We
have already stated, that this is the day
usually selected for the Senate republican
caucus, and consequently il is almost impOs-
sible to secure a quorum. This morning, as
stated elsewhere. the meeting of the commit
tee lasted hut short time, the quorum being
destroyed by the withdrawal OF republican
mombers TO attend the caucus. Fully seven
fy-fve persons were present who have Iegiti-
mate business before the committees. and
there is no COOL reason To hope that they will
have an opportunity OF being heard on Friday
next In view of the circumstances Mr..
Lewis. the chairman. is justified in taking
the responsibility Of considering and report
ing upon measures himself. aS he proposed 10
do this morning.

Arkansas Politcnsss.

A correspondent of the New
York Tribune incidcntly tells the
following story which he reniem-
bers to have heard 40 or so years
ago: 4 stage coach was going
along an Arkansas rHad. On the
back seat were two women; on the
middle one, two men, tall and mus
cular; while the forward seat held
only a small man, wrapped up
completely in a blanket. After a
time one Of the powerful men on
the middle seat lii a cigar and
smoked. The smoke went full in
the face Of one of the women, who
was young and tinid. She re-
quested the man to stop smoking.
'f have paid my fare; ; 1t is custom
ary to smoke, and / will smoke, as
much as / have o mind to-" Ac-
cordingly he took out a fresh
cigar and started tho smoke cloud
again. The women could only add
that "smokers ought not to forget
to be gentlemen" This suggcs-
ton excited the mans rage to
white heat. At this point the
small man on the front seat laid
aside his blanket, put his left hand
on the knee Of the enragcd rufiian,
In order TO withdraw his attention
from the woman and to himself,
while with his right hand he drew
a bowie knife from Ms case between
his shoulder blades. Pointing the
weapon at the heart Of the brute
and looking him square in the eyes

Agricultural NIisccIlanics.
n .fe,o experiments at the -Agricul-
t,ral College.

From the forthcotilhe Bepert of the State Board
Of Agriculture.
LENGTH OF ROOTS.
The nature of the soil has much
to do with the length and number
of roots. In light, poor soil, ] find
roots Of June grass four feet below
the surface. People dre apt to
underestimate the length, amount,
and Importance of the roots of the
finer grasses, wheat, oats, etc. A
young wheat plant when pulled up
only shows small part of It's ROOTS
They often go down four or six
feet, or more. The roots of q two
year-old peach-tree in light soil
were found seveh-feet four inches
long. In dry, light soil, this sea-
son We pulled up one parsnip three
feet and half long. OF course
smaller roots went down still far
ther. The noted buffalo grass on
the dry western prairies is describ-
ed In the agricultural reports at
Washington as having very short
roots; but Mr.. Felkner, one of our
college graduates, found, where a
well was being dug, that the roots
went down seven feet. The roots
grow best where the best food is
to be found. They grow in great
or or less quantity in every direc-
ton. If a root meets with good
food, it flourishes and sends out
numerous branches. Roots do not
search for food, as vegetable
psychologists now understand it.
Many Of the smaller roots Of trees
die every autumn when the leaves
die, and others grow in spring.
Near a cherry tree in my yard
was a rustic basket, without bottom,
filed with rich soil. On removing
tho basket and earth which had
been there several years, cherry
roots we're found In large numbers
in this rich soil. Roots in such
soil will grow NJ just as well as
down.

The BrunsWicker says: A man
and his wife, seeking to break
themselves of o habit of fretting
and scoldiug, entered into an dgree-
ment of this nature: The one who
lost temper with the other or with
the children, was to be published
as "scold." The medium through
which this humiliating intelligence
was to be published to the world
was not specified in the contract,
but the husband understood that
it was to be through the Bruins
wicker. The wife nearly bit the
end of her tongue off the first days
trial, shapping up the harsh words
which tried to escape her lips. But
both were disdainfully peaceful
until the afternoon of the second
day, wlcn the husband flew into
passion simply because one of
the children polished his stockened
feet with a blacking brush while
he was taking his usual nap. At
the first burst Of anger, Ills wife
quietly arose and put on her bon
net.
"Where are you going r. he in
quired suspiciously.
"To publish you," she replied.
"0h, well go ahead, tho boys at
the office won't give me much of
blast.
"But I'm not gbibg to the pfint-
ing office"
"Where then Z" he asked in sur
prise.
"To the sewing society,"
This brought him to terms, and
long and earnestly he begged her
not to make his weakness known
throughout the length and breadth
of the land. Finally in considera-
ton of a new silk dress, by him to
be delivered, she agreed to let him
off. But it Vas a narrow escape.

A wonderful Freak OF Nature

We are informed that q woman
who resides on a small farm in the
vicinity of Manchester about four
months since gave birth to twin
boys, both having perfect bodies
and limbs, and both having perfect
ly formed rattlesnake's heads
Our informant says they will drink
milk out of d dish, using their
tongues like dog, not seeming to
care for their hands at all while
drinking. If left alone in their!
cradle they will quarrel and fight
all the time, and for this reason q
pillow is placed between them
Tie parents are not in the best OF
circumstances, and are at o loss to
know what to do with the children.
Not long since q well-known circus
manager, who has several times
made his farewell trip with his one
horse show, visited the parents and
saw the children. He at once con-
cluded there was fortune In them,
and offered a fabulous price for
the privilege Of exhibiting them
through the country during the
season. But they declined to &C.
cept this offer, and to day the
"snake children are alive and well,
and may be seen by any person
who may have the curiosity to Wit
ness such a wonderful freak of
nature.-Ann Arbor Courier.

A Joker BIuHcd.

Charley Backus, the practical
joker was in a small town in Cot-
necticut the other day, and as he
started for New York he stood oil
the rear platform Of the last car of
the train. Just as the whistle was
blown, and the cars began to move,
Backus espied big fellow loung-
ing in the depot, and shaking his
fist at him in assumed rage, he
shouted:
"Oh, there you arej you william.
I've been looking for you all over
this cursed town. Oh, you knave,
you thief, you scoundrel."
At this time the train was rapid
ly moving out of the depot, and
Backus wildly shook his fist at
the astonished stranger screaming !:
Dent l wish I had time to get off
the train and thrash you, you
scouhdrel y
To the horror of the minstrel
joker the train was stopped and
backed into the depot. Backus
made a rush for his compartment
in the drawing room car and lock-
himself in, just as the brawhy
listed depot lounger boarded the
train and howled:
"Where is that damned duffer
who has been looking all over this
ere town for me r.
Backus kept himself in his pris-
on until lie reached New York.
