AgalifyinK fer Night in the Lookup.

In Augusta. Maine. no provision 1as been
made this winter for feeding and lodging
tramps. A vaga bond went into the police
station and wanted to sleep there:
I'VE only lodge prisoners" said the ser
geant behind the desk.
you only lodge prisoners" repeated the
vagabond medita,ively.
That's ALL" was the reply. you've got
to steal something, or assault somebody, or
something of that kind"
"I've got to assault somebody or some
thing of that kind" again repeated the
vagabond, thoughttully Then he reached
across the desk with his right arm and
knocked the sergeant off his stool, saying,
as the officer got up with his hand to his
eye. ''give me as good bed as you kin ser,
geant, cause Idon't feel very well tonight"

Trouble in Danbury.

Nothing has happened in Connecticut,
since the election, so sorrowful as the
quarrel between the funny men Of the
Danburian and the Danbury Nsrs They
have come to blows-in their columns. Cor
respondence between the two forces began
on the nineteenth Of April, day historical
in revolutionary events. Mr.. Donovan, of
the Netcs Office, demanded of Mr.. Mecca
chey, of the DonJurian estate, return of
"Menamin's Encyclopedia, which it was
charged McGeachey had borrowed, re-
moved, or otherwise taken and retained
without leave Sharp letters followed in
which both got the worst OF each other,
stepped in with an explanation which
caused other explanations Pistols were
put up, but it is evident gall and bitterness
remain in the land of the jokers, for re-
ferences were made to the circumstances
under which Mr.. McGeachey left the Necs
and started paper for himself. The Ners
went well while Mr.. Bailey was abroad
thanks to Mac" it has not improved since
the division of funny men was made.
Making two papers out of the same brain
material was like splitting leather; the fun
covered more space but it was thinner. 1t
is sad to think such thoroughly good fellows
must quarrel; too much fun has made them
mad. There are those who will sympathise
with them in tEeir mirthtul unpleasantness.
Newspaper comedians are not the happy
men. The most miserable slave in miR
strel party is he who sits on the bone end.
Life holds so little pleasure, and loans il to
men for SO short time, that they can not
altered to quarrel over few things, after
being faithful over so many. There should
be peace in Danbury between the Danbury

Important to Farmers.

The Departmental Agriculture has pub
lished the following circular:
The Agricultural Department OF the
L nited States desires to communicate to
its correspondents the following informa-
ton:
|. The object and purpose of the De-
partment is 10 procure the best and most
approved seeds which can be obtained in
this or any other country. and so distribute
them a. that they may be introduced into all
parts OF the United States TO which they
ale respectively adapted.
:. Vegetable garden-seed Is put up in
packages and varieties. having a reference
only TO the climate and soil TO which they
are 10 be sent. Any designation of these
seeds wanted bv individuals Is useless, be-
cause they are already put up; except the
general one Of flower or vegetable, or par
ricular field seed. such ,as corn. oats. bar
lev. spring or fall wheat, or particular kind
of grass.
3. The Department does not profess To
have every vatiety of seed for distribution
TO supply the wants Of any person. but
only such a are particularly good and
useful. and which cannot be readily OBJ
tanned elsewhere.
4. The Department often receives from
five to fifty letters from one place. and
sometimes written by one hand. These
are not responded TO.
). The Department has its own agents
for distribution; therefore lists sent here
are not attended 10.
6. Money OF stamps should not be sent
10 the Department for any purpose what
ever. liz has no authority TO receive IL.
Z. No seed j. delivered at the Depart
ment--bu. only by mail.
Seed sent, in pursuance OF the special
appropriation of Congress, 10 the grass
hopper districts has not been subject 10
these rules.
Correspondents should save the product
of seed sent them. for further use.

Boyton kindled his cigar. hoisted his
opened umbrella. and read the morning 5
newspapers, battling all the while against
heavy current, which, as we spectators
on the western shore could see. had leased
him throughout.
All the fcats were most successfully per-
formed. and the Queen and Princess, lean
ing during the greatest portion Of the half
hour over the bulwarks OF the yacht.
watched them with every manifestation Of
pleasure and interest. When Captain
Boyton, streaming wet, assembled the steps,
he hurried below, got out Of his artificial
skin. and came upon the quarterback To
receive the Queens congratulations with
them he also received an order for Boy
ton suit, 10 be made henceforth an essen
tial feature Of the yachts equipment, and
request that telegram announcing the
result Of his proposed trip across the chan
mel should be dispatched M the earliest
moment 10 Osborne. Afterward the royal
party sent second time for him, TO in
spect the dress and have its principles ex-
planned TO them. Her Majesty. every body
was delighted 10 perceive, looked in the
best Of health. and wore her usu4l black.
with white fur round the neck. The
Princess was well wrapped up against the
cold wind. which even n bright sun could
not deprive of a very biting humor.
Prince Leopold appeared to be not wholly
recovered from his recent illness. The
royal party, having BET II sfoat nearly forty
minutes. drove back TO Osborne through
the dingy little East Cowes street, by
which the Queens carriages have TO make
detour in order TO reach the broad drive.
A direct road, II Is hoped, will shortly be
made from the carriage-way TO the private
landing-place. This j. very busy period
for Cowes. because the yachts are being
made ready for the season. and the crews
are mostly engaged. The news of the
Queens visit to the river accordingly soon
spread among the seamen and shipwrights
and others so that, although there were
very few spectators to witness the begin
ming of the experiments. considerable
crowds had collected toward their termina-
ton.

A Sheriff Conquered by a Woman.

According TO the ST. Adams Messenger.
the dignity of the State of Vermont was
seriously compromised at Cabot recently,
In the person of Constable. The MARIA
tive is as follows: John Damon. the
Constable Of Cabot. visited the house of
Joseph Ainsworth for the purpose of put
ting an attachment on some potatoes in
his cellar. After Mr.. Damon had de-
scended the ladder through the trap-door
10 the cellar. Mrs. Ainsworth soliloquized
TO herself that now was the time. so down
went the trap-door and down went Mrs.
Ainsworth on it. She told Mr.. Damon he
could not come up till he would promise
solemnly not 10 put an attachment on
their potatoes. Mr.. Damon promised, he
said, . the most solemn VOW heever prom
ised to woman" then she let him up
the trap, striking him severely with the
fire-shovel, a ne came up. over his back
and sides. Mr.. Damon made tracks for
out of doors, and declared she was too
smart for him and he should never dare to
visit heir mansion again.

and most of IL sent ont Of the city. Sub
sequently fears arose that some Of the
arsenic might have come in contact with
the salt. To ascertain whether this was
the fact. a portion of the salt was placed
In the hands of Professor Doremus for
analysis. The result showed the unmis-
taxable presence of arsenic in that portion
Of the cargo. Accordingly, with imme-
date dispatch, the poisonous salt was or
dered back 10 the city for thorough ex-
animation and destruction. ifiound neces-
