OLD Blifkins' young wife has nothing
while the old man is ignorant of the
whole business. The other night as he
lay in bed thinking of one thing and
another, she whispered in her sleep,
ooh, my good husband, may you not
need the further discipline OF being mis-
led bya woman as have bya good man, .

head, so to speak.

A fnnnv Joke and all the NOR

A funny joke and all the more palata-
BILE as it's truth can be vouched for, says
a New Jersey paper, occurred at prom
inent church in that State. It seems
that worthy deacon had been very in
dustrious Ill selling new church book,
costing 75c. At the service in question
the minister, just before dismissing the
congregation rose and said: ''All ye
who have Children to baptize will please
to present them next Sabbath" The
deacon, who by the way was a little
deaf, having an eye on selling the books
and supposing the pastor was referring
to them, Immediately jumped up and
shouted: "All who haven't can get as
many as you want by calling on me, at
75c each"

AN improved way to plant cucumbers
is to plant the seeds as close together in
the hill as in ordinary planting. If short
of ground, make the hills from two to
three feet apart, drive six or more stakes
or laths, four or five feet long, close
around the plants, letting the top ends
flare out. Tie common Irvine around
the stakes, from one to the other, to hold
the vines as they grow up. L find this
way of training the vines upward much
better than letting them run on the
ground, as not much room is required,
and it is much easier picking the fruit.

Ats meeting OF the milk-producers IN
Massachusetts, some time ago, Mr.
Wethereu stated that COWS upon an
average need forty-five pounds to hay
per day or its equivalent while giving
milk; that large COWS produce more
milk for the amount of feed given than
small ones that scrub COWS viii give
annually 1000 quarts of milk, while
Holstein aud some other breeds will
produce 1000. All cows should be
kept clean as we'll as their surroundings.
In producing winter milk, cows without
grain will do nothing.

JIM BENEDICT was something of a
prodigal son. He took all the money
that his father, Philadelphian mer-
chant, would give him, and went to
Chicago, where he spent the funds in
riotous living. With the last fifty dol
lars he went on spree, ending in a po
lice station in Joliet. Miserable in body
and mind, he decided to kill himself.
He had left of his money two fve-dollar
bills, and five gold dollars that he had
kept as pocket pieces. He gave boy
one of the bills to buy pistol, some
powder and percussion caps. Left to
himself with these things, he loaded the
weapon, using the remaining bill for
wad and the coins for bullets, and shot
himself in the head. He died instantly
of the wound, and post norton e1-
animation revealed the golden missiles
and bits of the costly wad In his brain.

For closing cracks in cast-lron stoves
good wood ashes are to be sifted
through fine sieve, to which is to be
added the same quantity of clay finely
pulverized, together with little salt.
The mixture is to be moistened with
water enough to make a paste, and the
crack of the stove filed with it. The
cement does not peel off nor break away,
and assumes an extreme degree of hard
ness after being heated. The stove must
be cool when the application is made.
The same substance may be used in set
ting the plates of stove, Or in fitting
stoye-pipes, serving to render all joints
perfectly tight.

a collision between two wild ducks in

It was so completely stunned that 1t was
picked up by the gentleman in question,
who found it to be fine inallard, which,
on examination, was discovered to have
lost one eye, it having been previously
destroyed by accident or disease. No
doubt the loss of this organ was the
cause of the very singular occurrence.

There's trouble in Hungary now. alas.
There's trouble on every hand.
For that terrible man,
The Tarter Khan.
Sravaging all the land.
He is riding forth with his ugly men.
To rob and raviSh and Stay;
For deeds like those,
You may well suppose,
Are quite 10 the Tarter-Way.
And now he comes, the terrible chief,
To a mansion, grand and old;
And he peers about,
Within and without,
And what do his eyes behold?
A thousand cattle in field and fold.
And sheep all over the plain;
And noble SteedS
OF rareSt breeds,
And beautiful crops of grain.
But finer still is the boarded wealth
That his raYiShed eyes behold
In silver plate
OF wondrouS weight,
And jewels OF pearls and gold.
A nobleman owns this fine estate;
and when the robber he sees,
Ills not very queer,
He Quakes with fear,
And trembleS a bit in the knees.
He trembles in fear of his precious life.
And scarce depressing a grOan,
GOOD Tarter,'' says he,
whatever you see
Be pleased to reckon your own
The Khan looked round III a leasurely way
As one who is puzzled to choose;
When cooking his ear,
He CHANGED to hear
The creak of feminine shoes.
The Tarter smiled a villainOuS smile
When like a lily in bloom,
a lacy fair
With golden hair
Came gliding into the room.
The robber stared with amorous eyes
Was ever so winning a face?
And long he gazed,
As one amazed.
To see such beauty and grace.
A moment more and the lawleSS man
Had seized his strue CLING prey,
Without remorSe,
And-taking horse
He bore the lady away.
'.Now Heaven be praised 70 the noblema
cried,
For many mercy to me !?
L bow me still
Unto His will
But God pity that Tarterr' said he.

The Sunfower Valley Raid.

EDITOR MINER Tn your last issue ap-
 pears letter entitled "Trip to the Finals. ''
 over the signature of one E. S. Junior. bet
 ter known as "Black Jack," in which the
 writer makes some strictures upon me that
 call for reply. Trusting to your sense of
 honor prompts me to answer through the
 same medium where this attack upon me is
 made.
 The facts in relation to the Indian raid in
 the Sunflower Valley are simply these:
 Myself, in charge of five men. with twelve
 horses started from Camp Mcdowell for
 Tonto Basin, with the intention of prospect
 ing that country. We each had an extra horse to carry our blankets and provisions. and were determined on thorough prospect of the Tonto region. We camped on the headwaters of sSunfower Creek on the 9tb of last month and prospected there for two days. This brings us to the night of the 1lth ult. on which the Indians jumped our stock, driving off eight of the horses. We followed their trail next morning, and after short chase succeeded in getting SO near the red devils that they abandoned the horses and scattered themselves for safety but they first killed four of the horses and filled a fifth so full of arrows that he died shortly after his return to the Valley. This l last horse is the one alluded to by "Black | Jack" in his letter.
 "Black Jack" says he knows the man who | in playing this little game to pre- vent the settlement of that country. Doubt less he does, and to his own sorrow in some matters where he failed 10 stand square to the scratch. As to any intention of ours to prevent the settlement of the SunHower Valley we had not the remotest idea of set ting there ourselves, unless we found q ,ood mine, and the fact that all the emi- grants who went there have voluntarily 'bandoned the country for what they deem
 better one in the Tonto Basin is sufficient itself Ito show the falsity and malirnity "Black Jacks" statement. His forner with the Indian ring he admits his letter, and also at the same time , laims to have had the confidence of Gen ( rock and Major Larabee. From his own moving Ee IS a two-faced villain whose t latements are not entitled to credit. | respectfully, EDWARD A. CLARKE. ' Phenix, A. T., Oct. 5th, 1875. [

Dls1NCoRPoKATIoN.-A movement is on
 loot looking to the disincorporaton of the
 Village government of Prescott, which like
 most other questions has two sides to it. At
 firSt blush We were inclined to sign the peti-
 ton which was in circulation last week on
 the ground that that the Village government
 was costing more than it benefited the peo-
 pie, which may yet be true but before rusb-
 ing hastily into dissolution. suspensisn or
 bankruptcy 1t will probably be as we'll te ex
 anime the other side little. Of course it comes hard on property holders to pay their entire Village revenue by an ad ralorum tax, when much of the expense is incurred bv non-property owners. Therefore if the vil- lage government is to be continued, we as well as majority of those who own proper ty Tn the town, would-be in favor of iicens ing certain kinds of business, as for instance retail liquor saloons, gambling and other places which have tendency to render yil iaSe officers necessity. A heavy tax for the village treasury should be imposed on dogs running in the streets, and it would he well to make this tax or license heavy enough to drive out about nine tenths of the worth less CUTS that infest the highways and by ways of the town and make i, dangerous for people to ride or drive through the streets, md, in some instances, difficult for children | O go to and from school without being at- lacked by dogs.
 1t IS often better to reform an institution han to burst it up, and if this one can be in- iuccd to adopt these and other necessary re- orms it will be we'll to let it live, but if it continues to be burden without correspond ng benefit we say let it die.

a great number of comical stories a,e
being told just now about Ghe vagaries
OF a very eccentric, very wealthy, aud, if
report be true, very handsome young
lady, residing in rural district not tar
from London. AS may be ina .ineJ.
she has had plenty of suitors, and the
devices she has adopted to get rid of
them would read like fairy tale. She
generally gives her impoTtunate lovers
some absurd and impossible thing to do,
the condition being that if they fail they
shall trouble her no more. It is whis-
pered that we'll known member of
Parliament is not indifferent to her
charms, or her fortune, and that one
night, while great debate was III pro.
gress, the lady dispatched her amorous
swain, with blackened face and striped
coat, and a big roll of music under each
arm, to the classic precincts of St. Ste
phen's. In this approved Christy Min
strel style he presented himself before
the outraged and indignant ianitors.
These bewildered officials, under the
belief that the honorable gentleman had
been dining too much, lugged him away,
and, in spite of his protests, clapped
him into cab and sent him off to his
lodgings. One Sunday the lady her
self indulged in a prank which has
greatly scandalized the gossips of the
neigliborhood. She went to church in
the morning, and Immediately upon
taking her seat opened large, bright
colored parasol, which she persisted in
holding over her head throug gh the en-
tire service, notwithstanding the entrea-
ties and threats of the vergers and
couple of cliurch-wardens, who were
summoned to demonstrate with her
During the sermon she amused herself
by twisting the parasol round and round,
and bobbing it up aud down, to the
mingled horror and amusement of the
beholders. ] belive that the vicar has
since waited on the lady, and that more
will be heard OF the matter.
