"What's the use? It's all the old
wounds and the fever" Then he added,
with sudden tears in his eyes, "God
bless YOU, good woman, for taking us
in? Tomorrow I draw the pension. "
Thus did he identify himself already
with the Swedish maiden.
Mother Bates sc0ffed loudly at senti-
ment, then paused at the foot of the
staircase to wipe her own eyes on her
bingham apron. Gottlieb was out all

hostess a ffty-cent bill, with no other
explanation than that he obtained q
job in a warehouse despite his one
arm. Excitement robbed him of all APP
petite for food. He spent a second
night with wide eyes fixed on the cell
ing, counting the hours, delirium creep
ing over his senses. If he could only
last until tomorrow He would last,
even if he crept to the goal on hands
and knees. Desperate resolution made
him face the day; desperate energy
took him, pallid and trembling, to his
post, and brought him back at dusk to
sink down speeches. on Mother Bates
pallet. The fire of life only burned IN
the sunken eyes. When Christine sat
beside the bed, he was quiet when she
moved away, a spasm of anxiety dis
torted his features. Billy ran for the
doctor; Molly hushed the other chill

glancing curiously and half nervously
at the sick man.
The noise of the street reached this
quiet room only in distant murmur.
A step was heard on the stair. Mother
Bates moved uneasily. Billy, failing to
fiud one kind of doctor, had chosen an
other, and the difference was not clear
in his own mind. Mother Bates had
never received city missionaries with
favor, and now one was at the door. Her
creed was a crooked yet self-helpful
one. every one must get along the
best they cam" she said.
He was on the threshold-a grave,
slender man, with dark, calm eyes. Ter
rible indeed if he proved broken reed
How did he divine the very depths of
human need at glance? With un-
erring tenderness he sought in Gottlleb's
pocket for package of money, guided
by look. and gave ten.dollar bill to
the old woman. Then he bent his ear
to the faltering lips.
"Use the-money-to send-the child
to her friends-in the west. She
knows-the-town."
Thus the old soldier made his last be.
quest, and so, utterly spent in the bat
tie, died. Evening merged into night,
and darkness again yielded to the morn
ing, when Christine Carlen was led
away by the missionary. Mr.. Gildwell
knew nothing Of the event, and Mother
Bates said, grimly, to the good mission

"It ye take the baby, sir, we'll just

FARM NOTES.

Seventy-fve thousand tons of fer:
tilizers were manufactured In Baltimore
last year. Most of this was sent south
to be used on the cotton crop.
The Patrons of Monroe county, Mich,
received from Louisiana, through a
grange agency, six and half tons of
sugar and large amount of coffee.
English gardeners now gladly pay
four shillings each for toads. They find
them the best and cheapest destroyers
of insects which infest their plants.
The occupants of 600 shanties along
the lines of New York railroads make a
living by planting corn and potatoes
between tho rails and fences. It is said
that 900 acres are cultivated in this
way.
A Kentucky breeder advertises short:
horns of Questionable pedigrees."
He has also goodly number of "seven-
teens" There are cattle descended
from short-horns imported in the year
1877, which was before the day of herd
books, and the pedigrees are a little
uncertain.
The climate of the United States is
said to be the worst for weeds of any
country in the woEld, being dry and
hot. The climate of England, on the
other hand, is regarded as the best
adapted to the growth of weeds, being,
moist and cool. Still we beat England
every year in the weed crop. :.
Mr.. Bergh is needed in Paris, if the
statement be true that certain owners of
leech ponds buy up horses that are too
old to work to feed their leeches. The
horses are staked in the pond up to
their bellies, when the leeches imn1edi-
ately attach themselves to them and
suck the blood cut Of them, which it
takes one or two days 30 do. =:
The London Agricultural Gazette
says: "The most suitable age to wean
lambs, is when they are about ten weeks
old. Some flock masters have given
their opinion in favor OF eight weeks,
but this appears somewhat early. On
the other hand, to see lambs following
their mothers, and depending upon
them up to the beginning or middle of
July, is scarcely consistent with the
most approved ideas of stock manage
ment."
In England there is much interest in
the subject of two-year old beef. Some
farmers recommend killing cattle be-
fore they are two years old. They hold
that the gain is the greatest for the feed
consumed when the animals are from
thirteen to eighteen months of age. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
nearly all the stock in England belong
to breeds that mature very early.

A Storm in Switzerland.

A correspondent at Geneva gives an
account, of the terrible storm which
broke over that city at midnight of
Wednesday, the 18th inst. About eight
o'clock few heavy drops of rain began
to fall, and at the same time the whole
circumference of the horizon began to,
be ftfully Illuminated by flashes of sheet
lightning, but there was no thunder.
Once only during the entire night was
there one terrific clap of thunder, and
that was when the storm was Just over.
The lightning gradually increased in
intensity and became indeed actually
and without exaggeratiOn continuous.
The entire atmosphere seemed to be an
element of flame, and all this time there
was not the slightest movement of air in
the streets. At about II o'clock small
objects lying on the roofs of houses
were caught up and whirled around as
by cyclone. Still there was no move
ment of air in the streets below at mid
night. The tempest came mainly from
the Jura range and from the southwest,
travelling in that direction toward the
basin of Lake Lemon. Asitneared the
lake it seemed to spread out into fan
like form, witlz front sufficiently wide
to embrace the entire city. It did not
last much longer than ten minutes. At
the end of it, Geneva was wrecked as no
army of besiegers could have wrecked it
in the same space of time. The storm
came in the shape of an almost compact
mass of sheet ice, driven horizontally
before the tempest blast. In the first
instant, every gas lamp in the streets,
save here and there one spared by reason
of some protecting roof, was smashed to
atoms and extinguished, but the city
was not in darkness. for the masses of
coagulated hail reflected the blue light
of the lightning in a CHASTITY and omi-
nous manner. Windows of manufac-
tories and residences were forced from
their fastenings, besides having all the
glass shivered, and bedrooms and stair
cases and saloons were thus thrown
open to the storm, and in q minute or
two were half filled with masses of ice,
far beyond the immediate power of the
inhabitants to remove, for the storm
was marked by the popularity that hail
stones, or ice fragments rather, COM
pacted themselves into a solid mass as
soon as they fell on the slope of the left
bank of the river Arne IN the suburb of
the city. The tiles of many houses were
absolutely beaten to powder stout par
titions of wooden plank were pierced by
holes such as might have been made by
a musket ball. Three persons were
killed by the falling of a farm house in
the immediate vicinity of the city.
Vast quantities of small birds have been
picked up, killed by the storm, and the
bodies of several foxes have been found.
Geneva is surrounded by pleasure gar
dens and vineyards and market gardens,
and these have been Destroyed as if
charge of cavalry had passed over them,
involving the ruin and despair of poor
now taken from them as effectualIy as
if it had been sunk to the bottom of the
sea

THE WEDDING FEE.
~ II. N. sTREETER.

One morning, fifty years age,
When apple trees were white with snow
OF fragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spell-bound with the perfume rare,
Upon farm horse, large and lean,
And lazy with its double load,
sun-bTowned youth and maid were seen jogging
along the winding road.
Bae were the arches Of the skies,
But bluer were that maiden's eyes.
The devdrops on the grass were bright,
But brighter was the loving light
That sparkled meath the long-friHged lid,
Where those bright eyes Of blue were hid.
Adown the shoulders brown and bare
Rolled the soft waves Of golden hair,
where, almost strangled with the spray,
The sun, willing sufferer, lay.
1t was the fairest sight, ween,
That the young man had ever seen;
And with his features ali aglow,
The happy fellow told her so!
And she without the least sUTprise
Looked on him with those heavenly eycF,
Saw underneath that shade OF tan
The haudsome features of man;
And with ~ but rarely known
She drew that dear face to her own,
Aud 10y her bridal bonnet hid
] cannot tel you what she did
So on they rode until. among
The new born leaves with dewdrops hung,
The parsonage, arrayed in white,
Peers odt more than welcome slBut
Then, with a cloud upon his face
What shall we do, he turned TO say.
g should he refuse TO take his pay
From what is in the pillow case ~
And glanCiug down his eye surveyed
The pillow case before him LAID,
whose contents, reaching 10 its hem,
Might purchase endless JOY for them.
The maiden answers, % Let us wait.
To borrow trouble where's the need p
That at the parsons Equeaking gate
Halted the more than willing steod.
Down from the horse the bridegroom sprung:
.Ehe latChIess gate behind him swung;
The kUocker Of that startled door,
Struck SIS IL never was before,
Brought the whole household pale with fright
And there with bushes on his cheek,
50 bashful he could hardly speak,
The farmer met their wondering sight,
The groom goes in, his GRAND tells,
And, "a the parsOn mods, lie leans
Far DER the wiudDW-sil and yells.
Come in 10 say he'll take the beans -
Lord How size jumped; With one glad bound,
She ami the bean beg reached the ground,
Then, CIaspIuW With each diuped arm
Tho precious product Of the farm,
She bears It through the open door,
And, down uUuu the parlOr door,
Dumps the rest beans vines ever bore.
All happy were their songs that day
When man aud wife they rode aw#y;
But happier this CHORUS still
Which echoed through these woodland scenes:

God bless the man who took the beans ~

WADE BOTTOMS LEaACIEs.
The $4,000 He Lett the Widow of Stone,ca

The $4,000 He Lett the Widow Of Stone,caH
Jackson,
F We published an item yesterday from
the Washington Gazette to the effect
that'the legacy of $4,000 left by Wade
Bolton, of this city, to Stonewall Jack
sons widow, was still held by the exec
utor, and used for speculative purposes.
We have. since gathered some facts in
regard to the. matter which are of inter
est to. the public 81. 81.
Wade Bolton was before the war
wealthy negro trader, and became in
volved in. a fe1d with the Dickens family,
which resulted from first to last in seven
or eight deaths. He expected to 90 the
same way and did. Therefore he wr te
with his own hand a very remarkable
will, making various legacies, not for
getting. his old family slaves, who still
remained on his plantation. 1t provided
that certain LAWSUITS in which he was
engaged should be carried on to the bit
ter end, and cut off all his relatives who
took sides with his enemies or failed to
aid his suits all in their power. Among
other requests was $4,000 to Mrs.
General jackson, to be paid when his
estate should be wound up. He named
an executor, who was not required TO
give bond, but was charged with carry
ing out all the PROVISIONS of his will.
He'was killed in Court Square by DR.
Dickens, his old partner, about the year
1862. and soon after that DIR. Dickens
was killed by unknown parties few
miles from the. city. And thus ended
the most bloody and remarkable ven
delta of the southwest. Nest of the
particulars arefresh in the public mind.
Bolton stands statuesquely and grim in
Italian marble on an eminence in Elm
wood and his suits go on in the. courts.
The Dickens heirs have brought or
rather continued very heavy claim
against the Bolton estate. It was de-
,eided once in the lower courts, but ap-
pealed by them to the supreme court,
where it is now pending.
The executor, we learn, has paid off
various legacies, some of them large
amounts, far exceeding Mrs. Jackson's.
He paid fer SIS, 600 on the Goth of Febru-
airy, 1872, but against tho advice OF the
lawyers retained by the Bolton side.
He also paid the smaller legacies left TO
the negroes and to some other persons
in need: It seems that Mrs. jackson
was to be paid when the estate was
wound up. This has not been done and
perhaps will not be for some years.

Mark Twain's Last Lament.

Mark Twain, in the August Atlantic,
mourns over the diminished length of
the Mississippi, in this strain:
Therefore, the Mississippi between
Cairo and New Orleans was ,215 miles
long 176 years ago. It was 1,180 after
the cut off of 1922. 1t was Gao after
the American bend cut off (some Is or
II years ago.. It has lost 81 miles
since. Consequently its length is only
973 miles at present.
Now, if wanted to be one of those
ponderous scientific people, and "let
on" to prove what had occurred in the
remote past by what had occurred in a
given time in the recent past, or what
will occur in the far future by what has
occurred in late years, what an opportu-
nifty is here Geology never had such
a chance, nor such exact date to argue
from Nor &c development of species, "
eitho,l Glacial epochs are great things,
but they are vague-Vague. Please
observe:
In the space of 10 years the lower
Mississippi has shortened itself 242
miles. That is an average of trife
over one mile and a third per year.
Therefore, any calm person, who is not
blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old
Oolitic Silurian period, Just million
years ago next November, the Lower
Mississippi river was upwards of l, 3O0,-
600 miles long, and stuck out over the
Calf of Mexico like fishing rod. And
by the same token any person can see
that 742 years from now the Lower Mis-
sissippi will be only a mile and three
quarters long, and Cairo and New Or
leans will have joined their streets to-
gether, and be plodding comfortably
along under a single mayor and mu-
tual board of aldermen. There is some
thing fascinating about science. One
gets such Wholesale returns out of such
a trihing Investment of fact.

A house of this assossable value would
rent at two thousand two hundred dol
lars q year, or, at an outside figure, say
two thousand four hundred dollars. The
owner has sunk the money he has paid
down between the purchase price and
the mortgage, and hence loses the inter,
est on that sum. If the house cost
thirty-eight thousand dollars he has
paid twenty-three thousand dollars in
cash. The interest on this amount, if
he had invested it at seven per cent,
would have been 81 ,610. To have rented
the house at the outside figure would
have cost him in addition to his interest
seven hundred and ninety dollars year.
