How to Choose Christmas Gifts.

A writer says apropos of choosing
Christmas presents: The usual practice
in choosing Christmas gifts is to start
out with a full portemonnaie and come
home with 1t empty, having secured q
dozen book, print and curiosity shops
meantime to ''find enough pretty things
to 60 round" The gift sent TO one friend
might have been offered with equal pro.
priety to hundred others.
Now everybody (worta remembering
at all on Christmas Day has fancy, OF
whim, or association, which a tri1e will
recall and crafty. Now that we have SO
little money, let us set our brains to
work to remember these whims or hob
bies, and to find the suggestive trifies,
and, our word for it, we will startle oui
friends with a more real pleasure than il
we had sent the costliest unmeaning
gift.
There must be nice discrimination,
too, in asserting these tribes. There are
certain folks whom we know to be sorely
in need Of articles for the wardrobe, and
to whom we must, therefore, give utter.
ly useless foliies because they
know that we know it;
and there are other and better folks in
like condition who will receive collar
or pair Of gloves with as hearty and
sincere feeling as though the Offering
were strain OF Christmas music.
There is one cousin whose gifts must
smell of the shops and the dollars paid
for it, and another who, if we sent her
our worn copy OF George Herbert, or the
little broken vase which has stood for
years on the little study table, would
receive them with wet eyes, and fnd
them fragrant with old memories.

A Suiritual House.

London Correspondence Newark Advertiser. |
There is a certain house in one of the
best known streets of the southwest dis
tMct OF London, which was formerly In
habited by notorious spiritualistic me-
dium. Whes he left the house another
tenant took it. He soon found things
excessively uncomfortable. There We're
mysterious raps and knocks, and strange
sounds of bells ringing by no mortal
hands, and ghostly fingers touched the
| faces of the inmates as they lay in bed.
| The tenant was not superstiious, and
he bore up bravely against these annoy
| ances for a time.
Finding that they did not diminish, he
| employed policeman to stay in the
| house, but he was as much batied as his
employer, or, Gas is nowp susected) pre-
| tended to be. At length it was deter
mined to take up the floor in some Of the
rooms, and the space beneath was found
TO be Irayersed by number of wires, SO
connected that they could easily be
worked to produce the sspirit" manifes-
tations. What the object OF the previ-
| GUS tenant was in worrying his success
sOr can not say. Probably he wanted
to get reputation for the house which
would make the owner part with it at a
| cheap rate.

Apropos of the death OF william b

kings who must ip the nature Of things
soon pay the debt of nature and pass
away. There is A. 7. Stuart, with q
wealth estimated at forty millions, now
over eighty years old, but clinging as
closely to his vast business as il he was
In the prime Of life. He is childless, and
has no heirs except distant relatives In
Scotland and England. 1t is thought
that he intends TO leave the bulk OF his
money to various institutions In and
around New York, but as yet he gives
no especial signs OF any such Intentions.

titles Of real estate, and has made
money rapidly.

About Grasses.

1st. Prepare the land well by frequent
blowing, and then leveling, either by
harrow or roller, if in well cleared
field, or by plowing with a shovel plow
or by jumping coulter and brushing, ii
in wood land. This answers for both
blue and orchard grass.
I'd. Sow ten to twelve pounds Of clean
blue grass seed to the acre, that is,
about three-tourths of bushel; and
half bushels TO the acre-fourteen pounds
of either is a bushel.
3rd. The best time for sowing blue
grass is from February 1st to April 1st,
For from September 1st to November 1st;
for orchard grass, from February 1st to
May 1st; and from September 1st tc
| November 1st. Some prefer the winter
and spring sowing, while others give the
fall preference.
| 4th. These grasses require very little
cultivation. 1t is best to keep down
weeds, bushes, briars, etc.
The best land tor blue grass is, with.
| out doubt, that known as 'sblue lime
stone," such as is common about Lex
ington and Paris, KY, though very gooU
blue grass Will grow on the land over
lying this formation, containing shale
intermixed with lime and sandstone
The cayernous limestone OF Southern
Kentucky is poor tor blue grass, bu
very good for orchard grass. Orchar(

This afternoon Henry Greeley re-
turned from Reno, and, having been
away all night, repaired to his room at
once. He was not little surprised to
find window broken, and ON looking
toward his bed saw a stranger enjoying
sweet restoration, with his boots on.
He retreated to ask two friends II either
of them had lodged any of their acquaint-
ances there. They hadn't.
Henry then returned, pulled the fell
low out by the boots, letting him down
on the floor with a crash. He then
kicked him around the room and gave
MIN heavy one that sent him down

At 2 o'clock last Saturday morning
band of outlaws--more mildly
termed vigilantes-made advances
with designs hostile and evil toward
Mr.. Willis Rice, who was at the time
temporarily at the house of Mr.. ID.
f. Mcintosh, near Summerset, War
rem county. "After this fashion, /"
says last Sundays hegister, runs the
history of the rise and fall Of the
anger of the vigilantes:
Some fifteen months ago Rice COM
menced working for Mcintosh, and
continued until the Sth day OF May
last, when he left to improve some
wild land that he had purchased i'm
Northwestern Iowa. Soon after
leaving, stories were circulated in
jnriously affecting his character aud
that of Mrs. McIntosh. Some friend
residing in the neighborhood, sent
Rice information concerning the
ISLANDERS that were In circulation, and
he at once returned to that locality to
disprove all charges. His upright
and manly course has secured him
the sympathy of the good people OF
the neighborhood but so deeply
rooted and widespread had become
the slanderous stories that evil dis
posed persons succeeded in working
up a mob intending to proceed 10
MeIntosh's house, Friday night.
where Rice was still staying, and
deal foully with him. The mob was
collected at midnight Friday, num-
bering ab0ut forty, but for some rea-
son they concluded not to make the
attempt, and disbanded after they
had approached within sight OF the
house. We understand that Mr..
Rice left yesterday for the home oi
his brother In Greene county.
