A Costly Filtration

Miss Charlotte E. Rosa buxom
maiden well advanced in years,
and not overburdened with beau
ty, recently brought suit in Chica-
go for breach of promise against
George E. Fancher, weazen-
faced gentleman with less flesh
than greenbacks. Miss Ross says
that George was very assiduous
in his attentions that a delight
ful blissfulness attended their
courtship, and that nothing had
occurred to mar the prospects of a
happy future until George remark
ed point-blank that he didn't pro-
pose to marry her. Miss Ross
valued her lacerated affection in
the sum of twenty Thousand dol
lars. Mr. Fancher's reply to Miss
Charlott's allegations differ some
what from her version. He denied
that an engagement had existed
between them, and testified that
Miss Ross had been the chief per-
former in the comedy of love. She
it was who had INDUCED in affec-
tionate embracing and osculatory
manifestations of regard That in
the exuberance Of her generous af-
fiction she had given defendant a
diamond ring, and to cap tn e CHI
max had nearly invested him with
suffOcation ON divers occasions by
her weight. Such endearing cap
rices of Miss Ross had had the ef-
feet of rendering him weak, and
the manner in which she had been
accustomed to tickle him VIII en-
cushioned upon his knee had fair
ly Frustrated him. The jury val
ued the time wasted by Miss Ross
on Mr.. Fancher at ten thousand
dollars. George has appealed from
their decision.

JOHNS DISCOVERY.
BY JOHN sMIT.

It's very astonishing how many
great discoveries are entirely acct
dental, and among the latter, per-
haps none are more important
than the hair restorer, fdon't let
the devil MAKE it heir restorer--
for they might Wi ut us to return
the Ross boy) that has been dis
covered through the genius of my
John.
/ had pair of heavy steers that
were being fed for holiday beef.
John coaxed me Is let him yoke
them to the pillow and break his
mas cabbage garden and Mrs.
Smit seconded the enterprise. /
consented. though / unprecedented
trouble, neither Of the animals
having ever looked through bow,
but John was SO confident, that L
soon felt assured, and sure enough
after considerable gehawgraphy
and some extr; ct of hickory, the
garden was turned up beautifully,
and John, with pride, pointed to
his work, at the same time unyok-
king the steers, but John had for
gotten something, for as the bows
dropped, the cattle started in OPP
posite directions, but didn't get
far, their tails were tied! Twas a
fearful pull, but presently brindle
gave an extra tug and walked off,
taking the red steer back wards
clean out of his hide. While /
stood amazed and stupidity gazing
upon the scene, John had been to
the house and returned with some
preparation that he had been
secretly compromising for a long
time. This wonderful hair restorer
was soon applied to all parts
of the poor skinless brute. and 10,
the magic effect, in fifteen minutes
the red steer was coated with bet
ter hair and hide than ever-there
is only one drawback that / can
see, and Johns genius will find
the remedy, the new skin wont
give an inch nor permit the ami
NAL to bend his neck or move his
legs, this makes il a little trouble
some as we will have to bring
bring his feed and water. / would
like to make public the recipe for
this wonderful letter, but John can
only remember three thousand of
the ingredients, and at present
declines to-o-u-c-h What in the
thunder is the matter? Mrs. Smit,
lying? Well if | wrote that yarn |
certainly was,but John suggusted
that some evil spirit while | slept
wrote the above improbable story
and forged my name to the paper.

New and Rare Varieties Of APP
pies.
(COHhaued.)

(COHtiaued.)
/ Introduce next in my list OF new
and rare apples.
CLARK's PROLIFIC. This fruit
originated with Mr.. w. G.. Clark, OF
Monroe county, Iowa, some twelve
or fifteen years ago. Several years
since, received specimens Of the
fruit and cions. Have tree which
will probably fruit this year. Have
also several trees in our experimental
orchard. II ~ very fine eating ap-
pie, OF medium to large size; COM
mences to ripen late in the fall, and
will continue in fire eating till mid
winter, or nearly so, also fine cook
ing fruit; tree hardy and prolific.
The originator, Mr.. Clark has large
orchard and assures me that for the
market he has no apple of it's season,
that compares with it. Should this
variety prove as prolific and hardy
further north, and I'm other localities,
il ought 10 be- in every collection.
BELLE or HAvRE.-This very de-
sirable apple ! imported from An
gers, France, in the spring OF 1856.
1t Is large and handsome, little
tart, but Of high aromatic flavor,
ripens from middle Of August TO the
middle or last Of September. Tree
very hardy, constant bearer, begins
TO fruit young; in this respect equal
to Duchess OF Oldenburgb succeeds
well both as q standard and dwarf.
From seventeen years fuitlng Of this
apple AS dwarf, and fourteen or fif-
teen years as standard, | would not
be without IL even in very small
collection. AS late summer and early
