"Don't like it. at all, ;" said the farmer ;
"you can't raise anything; and when

Happening along last summer he met
the man again, and said:
"Hello, you here yet2"

A Terrible Plot.

A case in Lincoln, Ont, illustrates
the liability of courts and juries to cruel
mistake. A few months since Matthias
Konkle was found guilty of felonious as
sault upon female child of ten years of
age. He was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged, but the sentence was
afterward committed to imprisonment
for life. 1t now appears that there was
conspiracy to get rid of Konkle, in
which his stepmother was the principal
mover, her motive being to obtain pos
session of property. She took into her
confidence the grandmother of the little
girl, and servant. These together ar
ranged the plot against Konkle, the
child being brutally maltreated to fur
nish evidence against an innocent man.
At the trial Mrs. Konkle "posted" F" all
the witnesses for the government. She,
with her fellow conspirators, have been
arrested, and the convict will be brought
from prison to testify against them.
The little gir! has turned Queens evi-
dence, and her statements, which are
very clear, leave no doubt of a malip-
nant plot to put q troublesome heir ont

A CALIFORNIA SNOW STORM.

Interesting Manner.
Bret Harte in his new novel in Scrib.

OF California snow storm: Snow.
Everywhere. AS far as the eve could
reacK-fifty miles, looking southwark
from the highest white peak. Filling
ravines and gulches, and dropping from
the walls of the canyons in white shroud
like drifts, fashioning the dividing
ridge into the likeness of monstrous
grave, hiding the bases of giant pines,
and completely covering young trees
and larches, trimming with porcelain the
bowl-like edges of still, cold lakes, and
undulating in motionless white billows
to the edge of the distant horizon. Snow
lying everywhere over the California
Sierras on the 10Th day of March, 1S4S,
and still falling.
1t has been showing for ten days ;
showing in finely granulated powder, in
damp, spongy flakes, in thin, feathery
plumes; showing from q leaden sky
steadily, showing fercely, shaken out
OF purple-black clouds in white hoccu-
lent masses, or dropping in long level
lines like white lapces from the tumbled
and broken heavens. But always silent.
ly! The woods were so choked with it,
the branches were 80 laden with it, il
had so permeated, filed and possessed
earth and sky; it had SO cushioned and
muffled the ringing rocks and echoine
hills that all sound was deadened. The
strongest gust, the iercest blast awoke
no sigh or complaint from the snow
packed, rigid files of forest. There was
no cracking of bough nor crackle of un.
derbrush; the overladen branches OF
pine and tir yielded and gave way with
ont a sound. The silence was vast,
measureless, complete!
Nor could it be said that any outward
sign of life or motion changed the fixed
outlines of this stricken landscape.
Above, there was no play of light and
shadow, only the occasional deepening
of storm or night. Below, no bird
winged its flight across the white ex.
panse, no beast haunted the confines OF
the black woods; whatever of brute na.
ture might have once inhabited these
solitudes had long since flown to the low
lands. There was no track or imprint
whatever foot might have left its mark
upon this waste, each succeeding snow
fall obliterated all trace OF record.
Every morning the solitude was virgin
and unbroken; million tiny feet had
stepped into the track and filed it up
And yet, in the center of this desola
ton, in the very stronghold OF this grin
fortress, there was the mark of human

Illegitimacy In Scotland.

Illegitimacy in Scotland has attained
an extent that will surprise those who
popularly contrast Continental profigacy
continent Puritanism in the land of
Knox. According to the last annual re-
port of the Scotch registrar general the
number of illegitimate births during the
past year was IL OFT, or 81 per cent. OF
the total number-a number sufficiently
large, though the percentage is the
smallest recorded for ten years. Among
tie poorer and more ignorant classes in
the rural districts the rate of illegiti-
macy rises to ia per cent. The fact
may in some measure be accounted for
by the payment by the parish of a small
allowance weekly to the mothers OF
these children for their support.

A Discouraged Editor.

A Colorado editor thus narrates He
was sad-eyed, meek-faced man, and
we suppose he merely wished to give MS
a news item but when he commenced
telling us about building barn ON his
ranch 190x280 feet, seven stories high,
and ornamented with bay windows, we
thought it was time to check him, and
so we commenced
"Well, we must admit that that is
pretty large barn for this country, but
back in the States our father built barn
325x500 feet, nine stories high, and
furnished with steam elevators but "-
Back in the States," interrupted
our listener. "Why, that wasn't much
OF barn for the States. / remember,
now, that when was quite young, my
father built a chicken-coop $50 by S32
feet. don't recollect how many stories
it was high, but / know there was Gu
pola on it for the roosters."
About how high was the cupola Q"
we asked.
"I don't remember the exact height
now, mister" was the reply, =" but /
know it was so high that the fourteen
upper tiers of roosters died from the
effects of the light atmosphere the first
night"
Then he looked up towards the cell
ing and commenced humming "Silver
threads among the goli," and we went
out and sat down ON the wood-pile and
wondered why somebody wasalways out
stripping us in the raee Of lie.

He sat one side the room in a big
white oak rocking chair. She on the
other side, in little white oak rocking
chair. A long cared deerhound, snap
ping at flies, was by his side basket
of sewing by hers. Both rocked in

Grape myrtle tree she sighs heavily and
looks out the east window-at the turnip
patch: At last he remarks:
This is mighty good weather to pick

:" "'Iis that, if we only had any to

The rocking continues.

Another sigh broken stiffness.
"What is he good furs"

"He is; but he's kinder bellowsed

In the quiet ten minutes that ensued,
she took two stitches in her quilt. 1t
was a gorgeous affair, that quilt was,
made by the pattern called 9" Rose of
Sharon" She is very particular about
the nomenclature of her quilts, and fre-
quently walks fifteen miles to get new
pattern, with "real putty name"
"Your ma raisin' many chickens?"
"Forty odd"
Then more rocking, and, somehow,
after awhile, the big rocking chair and
the little rocking chair were jammed
side by side.
How many has your ma got 2"
"How many whata"
"Chickens.
"Nigh on to hundred"
By this time the chairs were so close
together that rocking was impossible.

Then long silence reigns. At last he
observes:

More silence then he says:
"Do You love cabbage 2"
"I do that"
Presently his hand is accidentally
placed on hers. She does not know it
at least does not seem to be aware of it,
Then after half hour spent in sighs,
coughing and clearing of throats, he sud
denly says:
