those identical "Old Rocks" to monumental REQ
ogniton and preservation, by the early travel

the borders of our own adjacent and beautiful

romance and song.
Doctor Phillips, like Mr.. Pusey, has been many
years resident Of the Far West, is a gentleman
Of large culture and experience, and his long ab-
sence seems to have intensified rather than
weakened his interest in our unanswered ard

A Free and Easy Watering
Place.

Bereck is on the French coast. n
short distance from BouIogne. The
fsherwomen set the fashion, and the
weaIthiest visitors easily follow it.
A single thin garment, falling from
the neck to little below the knee,
and a pair of gayly-worked slippers
constitute the entire costume at
Bereck. Stockings are unknown, or,
at least, if any lady appears whit
stocking, she is recognized as q new
conner. 1t may require twenty-four
hours for her prudery to wear off; at
the end of that time she will appear
i'm as scanty a dress as the rest.
About half of them, indeed dispense
with even the slippers, and one sees
groups playing croquet, the gentle
men clad in snowy linen and wear
ing red or blue caps, and the ladies
I'm hats and short, bright-colOred
skirts, but neither encnmbered by
shoes or stockings. Oftentimes, how
ever, the wind blows the dry sand
for miles over the beach, and TO pre-
vent this from getting into the eyes
glasses or spectacles. with wire gauze
frames are worn, which on young
and fair faces haYe a droll effect.
One would think also that the same
sand would sting the lily-white ankles
and calves which are so freely ex-
posed, but if SO the effect is not Sc

The Fastest Tilne ON RECORD.

The Lexington (Ky.) Press, OF Fri
day, May 14th, gives an account of
the remarkable time made by the
horse Searcher, at the Association
course. of that city, already mention
ed by telegraph. The horses enter
ed were Searcher, Misfortune and
Light Coin, the first named being
the favorite. When all Was in read
mess for the raee-the judges and
timers in their places and the riders
up-ahe horses made ready for the
start. The favorite having gone up
she stretch piece. came down the
line in run. As he passed the 9TH.
ers he jumped out iD run, and inn
mediately the drum was tapped. and
off they went The favorite went at
a terrific rate round the turn, leading
Misfortune by several lengths, and
leaving Light Coin far behind. He
never slackened pace, but unde-
steady pull bore away past the first
quarter pole and down the back
stretch, his jockey being unable to
check him in his mad career. The
first half mile pole was passed in
forty-eight and a half seconds. Co
ing up the hill he increased his lead
under a steady pull, and coming
down the home stretch he seemed to
slacken pace, though running at a
terrific rate. Observing this the
spectators shouted, $50 on, go on
The jockey looked back to see where
the other horses were. while the
crowd shouted, '' Shut 'em out, shut
'em OUT Then the jockey gave
Searcher the rein and he came on
ahead, gallantly passing under the
string just in time to shut out Mis-
fortune. who was coming along gall
lantly under whip and spur. and in
another jump or two would have saw
ed her distance. Light Coin was
away back, lettering by the wayside.
Searcher made the mile in the un-
precedented time of l :4l3. The
first half mile was made in forty
eight and a half seconds, and the
last half in fifty.three and one-:ourth
seconds. The time made, :414, is
for one mile the fastest on record,
the fastest previous to it being that
made by Gray Planet at Saratoga
last August, running against time in
:42t. Alarm had made it previous
ly quarter of a second slower. Mr..
Rhodes, the owner of Searcher, has
also the dam and full brother and
sister to the now noted racer.

Trees as Rain PRODUCERS.

Eighty years ago the Arabs cut
down the trees along the valley of
the Nile in Upper Egypt for many
miles toward Arabia. This has been
followed by a marked decrease of
rain in the district. A contrary eff
feet has been produced in Lower
Egypt by the extensive planting of
trees by the Pasha. In Cairo and
Alexandria the fall of rain has been
increased. In fact French scientist
asserts confidently that such is the
availability of the moisture in the air
even over the deserts of Sahara that
he can draw water enough from the
atmosphere to make crop by the
use of salts alone. Oasis making is
a new feature in scientific agriculture.

U The editor of the Central Chris
tian Advocate takes :his view of the
grasshopper proclamation:
We are not Opposed. at this time,
to renew the discussion that has so
largely occupied the public mind
since Professor Tyndall suggested
prayer test We notice, however,
that the best men and women-those
who are least under the denomina-
ton of passion and appetite, and
have gained some actual spiritual
Notwithstanding to pray. We
note, also, that the most of those
persons who are so voluble in their
affirmations that silence has demon
strated the folly of prayer, are not a
bit wiser or more knowing than those
they condemn for simplicity. They
jump at conclusions who pretend to
say day of humiliation and prayer
is of no value in the circumstances
in which we are placed. We are not
asked to pray for any miraculous in
terposition. but for Providential and
parental favor for such help as we
may reasonably expect. God is
asked to supplement our labors, which
are insufficlentin themselves. Pray
means cooperation not the over
throw of natural laws. but their
guidance to a particular end. The
grassAoppers do not come and go as
the rising and setting sun. The laws
Of their life and movements are vari-
able. subject to both human. and di-
vine interposition. Therefore, The
same wisdom that leads us to resist
their encroachments,and injury leads
us to seek higher help.

Under the act of Congress offering
160 acres of prairie land in the West
ern States to any person who will
plant 40 acres of the land with trees
and cultivate them for eight years
about 100 persons had taken up
176, 700 acres of land in Minnesota
up to January. BY the effort of the
State and of associated individuals
it is estimated that 100000 trees
are now being grown IN Minnesota
besides those planted under the Con-
gressional land grant. A report on
the subject says that the cost of
planting and Of cultivation is marvel
loasly small. in many cases not ex-
ceeding two to five cents tree.
The patents for the public lands Of
fered by Congress are not issued un-
til the end of eight years Of contin-
ued cultivation Of the trees.

Turning the Tables on a Prac-
ticaI Joker.

Charley Baclxus. a well known ne
gro minstrel and practical joker, was
in a small town in Connecticut the
other day, and as he started for New
York, he stood on the rear platform
of the last car of the train. Just as
the whistle was blown and the cars
began to move. Baokus espied a big
fellow lounging in the depot, and
shaking his fist at hlm in assumed
rage, he shouted
"Oh, there you are, 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 rapidly
moving out of the depot, and Backus
wildly shook his fist at the astonish-
ed stranger. Don't / wish / had
time to get off and thrash you. you
scoundrel!' !''
To the horror of the minstrel jok-
er the train was stopped and backed
into the depot Backus made a rush
for his compartment in the drawing
room car and locked himself in, just
as the brawny-fisted depot lounger
boarded the train and howled:
"Where is that damned duffer who
has been looking all over this 'ere
town for me?'
Backus kept himself in his prison
until he reached New York.

A Rat on a Mans Back.

A Portsmouth correspondent says (:
James Mangan is an employee of the
railroad company. He has spent the
best years of bis life in their service,
and has always guarded their inter-
ests with a jealous eye. Yesterday
morning James was made the inno-
cent victim of cruel joke. While
standing at the corner of Hanover
and Queen streets, huge rat emerg-
ed from beneath the plank crossing
of the railroad track, and making di-
rectly for jimmy, lively battle be-
tween the two very soon sprang up.
A crowd gathered around the com
batants, and the fight waxed warm.
Finally the pesky varmint, by a
strategic movement, managed to es-
cape the kicks and cuffs of Jimmy
by springing up his back, beneath
his. outer garment. About this time
the scene became extremely exciting,
and a graphic description of it fails
US.
After buttonidg his coat to prevent
the rat from ascending higher. (du-
ring the operation he squirmed
around like top,) at his suggestion
one of the by-standcrs endeavored
to kill it by clubbing it to death
where it had taken up it's quarters.
The man brought down the shillaly
over the back of Jimmy until he
cried aloud with pain. Supposing
the noxious animal had been muir
dered, the railroader unbuttoned his
coat, and away ran the rat.

Beet Cider.

III. Plouard, lawyer of Andelys,
France. has invented q new cider,
said to be very cheap and of excel
lent favor-the popularity of which
is that large proportion of sugar
beets is mixed with the apples before
pressing eighty pounds of beets are
mixed with 700 quarts of apples, or
about eleven pounds to 100 quarts.
The beets and apples are pressed to-
gether. then saturated with water,
left quiet in cellar for twenty four
hours, and pressed anew. This is
repeated seven times. The inventor
says he makes 100 quarts of cider
for eighty cents. which seems rather
questionable.

Girls. let us tell you a stubborn
truth. No woman ever looked so
we'll to q sensible man. ms when
dressed in neat plain modest attire,
without a single ornament about her
person. She looks then as though
she possessed worth in herself, and
needed no artificial rigging to en-
chant her value. If young woman
would spend as much time in culti-
waiting her temper and cherishing
kindness, meekness, gentleness, mer-
cy and other qualities, as most Of
them do in extra dress and orna-
ments to increase their personal
charms, she would at a glance, be
known among a thousand. Her
character would be read in her coun-
tenance.

Five Dollars a Day for Beecher's
go @ AcquittaI.
Nashville Union and American.

A few days ago our State Supreme
Court declared the jury act of the re-
cent Legislature unconstitutional. be-
cause jurors might be biased in their
opinions by the prospect of pay from
one party rather than the other. In
dications are not wanting that this
unnatural bias may be brought to
bear on the jury in the notorious
Brooklyn trial. The New York Star,
an avowed champion of the great
preacher, has recently been indulg-
ing in very curious and unbeccming
references to the question of their
pay. The recent session of the New
York Legislature authorized the SUI
pervisors of Kings county to allow
these sorely-tried Jurors S. per day
for their five months service, but left
the matter optional with that body.
The New York Sun states that the
majority of these Supervisors are
strong partisans of Beecher. and
some of them have stated that no ac-
ton would be taken till the trial is
concluded. This means $5 a day
for Beecher verdict. We notice
the Chicago Tribune and other jour
mails take the same view. The pow
er ought to be foudd lodged some
where to compel the Supervisors to
take action in the matter before the
case is given to the jury.

amoung other grounds of excuse,

by the General Government, and
was still deprived of his civil rights,

cassion, did not think that he ought
to be required TO sit in Judgment on
the civil rights Of Others, when by
United States law, he was deprived
of his own" Judge johnson repli-
ed, "the court differs with you, you
will take your seat as a juror" To
which decision Gen. Chiffon render
ed prompt abedience. After awhile
the Judge said, General Chiffon
you are excused from serving" Gen.
Chiffon bowed, and about tue time
he reached the door of exit from the
bar, the Judge remarked, 81 excuse
you on general grounds; if you have
no interest in the business of the
county, you ought not to serve as a
juror" At this rejoinder, the Gener-
al Immediately returned and said,
''that is not the question, l feel as
much interest as any man in the
affairs of the county, and especially
in matters affecting the interest. of

It is stated from Washington that
the law in relation to the prepay
ment of postage on newspapers at
the offices where published, which
came into operation January. /, will
reduce che income to the government
from that source about one half that
derived under the old law. There is
q great savings however, in clerical
labor in the postoffices, and as the
law is thought to be satisfactory to
both publishers and subscribers. it is
thonght that the department. will not
make any recommendation for its
amendment.
