4 Romantic Widows Mistake.

From New York Letter.
Among King Henry's [George Rig
nold's] admirers was rich young
widow OF Fifth avenue. Every eve

gagged all the lower-stage boxes, so
that no hated rival could be so near
the adored object as she. This ran on
until, one day, she presented herself
at Business Manager Flanigan's Office.

balconies in the ENTRY Of London for

assented, and the money was paid. 1t
was arranged that the lady should
come every night, with the requisite
dress under her cloak. At a certain
moment she left her box, waved her
scarf with the rest during the process
sion, and then retired. On the sixth
evening her maid WAS replacing her
wraps in the box, when the door Was
flung open, and Harry of England
clanked in in his armor. care you

Several thousand Egyptian soldiers
have joined the Turkish army. AS
the Egyptian army has large number
of American officers, it is not impos-
sible that some of them may be en-
gagged in assisting Musselmans in fight
ing Christians. If their piety should
revolt at the somewhat anomalous sit
uation in which they may find them
selves placed, they can console them
selves with the reflection that the
Christianity they may encounter is
not especially like the same article in
use among the average civilized ma
lions. The "Christians' whom the
Turks are fighting are a kind of people
who think their God and religion re-
quire them to mob Jews, and to toler-
ate no other religious faith than their
own.

A Suttler'S Story,

John s. Evans testified before the ex-
 amining committee at Washington con-
 corning his suttlership at Fort Sill.
 Having received number of recom-
 mendations of officers of the post he
 came to Washington for tho purpose of
 obtaining the place. He was introduced
 to the secretary of war by General Rice,
 of Iowa, and subsequently, the secretary
 informed him that he had promised Fort
 Sill to friend of his, 0. P. Marsh. The
 witness laid his recommendations before the secretary, who stated there was a great number of applicants, none of whom he knew personally. He mention ed to the secretary that all his interests were at Fort Sill, having previously been engaged in trading there, and he asked the secretary who ther there was any possibility of making an arrange ment for a copartnership with Marsh, in Washington the next day. He after ward saw MT. Marsh, who said he pre- ferred to sell out rather than enter into copartnership, charging $2O, ,O0O year for the trading privileges at Fort Sill. The witness objected to so large sum, when Marsh reduced it to $15, ,000. They went to New York together. Sub sequently the amount was reduced to $12, ,000 year. The witness, to protect his interests in a. country far remote from the States, was compelled to agree to Marsh's terms. The witness showed General Grierson at the post his agree ment with Marsh. and he also showed it to Captain Walsh and Lieutenant Pratt. This was in the fall of 1870. The wit ness said h paid General Rice, of Iowa, $1 ,OO0 for introducing him to the secre- tary of war. He thought this was enough, though Rice wanted $1, ,5OO. In making the contract Marsh told the wit ness he would be the only trader at the post, and that all others would be re- moved. One of the inducements offered by Marsh for entering into the contract was that the witness should be protect ed, he supposed through the influence of the secretary of war, and he had been protected ever since. The witness wish ed to deny published statement of Captain Robinson that he paid $15, 1000 to the secretary of war and that Dent and he connived at the matter. There was no foundation for the report.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Men tire themselves in pursuit of res,
 Economy in youth makes a cushion for old age.
 It is not enough for reader to be unprejudiced. He should remember that book is to be studied, as picture is hung. Not only must bad Ii ght be avoided but good one obtained. This, taste supplies. It puts history, a tale or poem in just point of view, and examines the execution.
 When death strikes down the innocent and young, for every fragile form from which he lets the painting: spirit free, 8 hundred virtues rise in shapes of mercy, charity and love, to walk the world and bless it. Of every tear that sorrowing mortals shed on such green graves, some good is born, some gentle nature comes.
 Courage, so far as it is sign of race, is peculiarly the mark of gentleman or lady; but it becomes vulgar if rude and insensitive; while timidity is not vulgar if it be characteristic of the race or fneness of make. A fawn is not vulgar in being timid, nor crocodile "gentle" because courageous.

The Presidents Salary.

The bill reducing the salary of the President of the United States from $50, 900 to $25, ,00O per year passed the Senate by vote of twenty-six to twenty. It cannot of course interfere with the salary of Gen. Grant, as the Constitu- tion provides that the salary of the Presi- dent shall not be reduced during the term for which he was elected. Three gentlemen known as Presidential aspi- rants voted in the affirmative, Conkling, Morton and Thurman, and one, MT. Bayard, against it.
 The approval or rejection of the bill by the President, an exchange says, is matter of great delicacy. Gen. Grant approved the bill doubling his own sala- ry, and his approval of the bill repeating that action would seem rather harsh on his successor. On the other hand, he will be called upon to sign bills cutting down salaries on all sides. even to the clerks and officers in his own household, and it would seem an act of injustice were he to veto bill cutting down the salary of the Presidential office. Only one other way will be open to the Presi- dent, and that is, to allow the bill to become a law without his signature by retaining it ten days.

A Load of Hay.

The innocence and childlike simplicity of some people is shown by the story described in an Anoka (Minn. paper, as follows: As William Mogle, of this city, was on his way to Minneapolis he overlook man from Hennepin county with load of hay on which were two large sized women. A short distance this side of Minneapolis the hay man stopped his team, and MT. Mogle ob- served that he was vigorously digging a hole in the hay. MT. Mogle drove on and passed him, and on looking back the women were no longer visible. The two teams entered Minneapolis about the same time, the load of hay was driven at once on the scales and weigh ed, and as the driver had turned @ cor ner the women emerged from their re- treat. Somebody paid for those women at the rate of $10 per ton.

What it Takes.

Taking timothy hay as standard of comparison, it requires one hundred pounds of it to supply certain amount of nourishment. It is estimated by careful experiment that the same amount of nourishment can be obtained by using the following quantities of food :: Glover hay, ninety-fve pounds rye straw, 335 pounds; oat straw, 22O pounds potatoes, 196 pounds; carrots, 28O pounds; beets, 346 pounds, ruta bagas, 262 pounds; wheat, forty three pounds; peas, forty-four pounds :; beans, fortysix pounds; rye, forty-nine pounds; barley, f1fty-one pounds corn, fifty six pounds ; oats, fifty-nine pounds; buckwheat, sixty-feur pounds and oil, of cake, ninety-four pounds.

SALISBURY CONN, FRIDAY APRIL r. 187e

the stairs, rustic of silken robes. a glad cry, then clinging arms were twined about his neck, soft cheek was pressed to his, tangled golden curls mingled with his dark lecks. Was it dream ? He pressed her close to make sure of the reality, and kissed her with such passionate fervor that Margaret wept for joy:
 Margaret, my wfe-Margaret !"
 "Oh, John, how cruel you were to send me away! I'll never leave you again, darling"
 When they had both regained calm. uess, John Graham explained to his wife that the next day the house was to be sold-he could not take her into lode- lngs-perhaps she had better return to her mother. But Margaret firmly re- fused.
 "Any place that is good enough for you, John, is good enough for me. My place is with you. I can assist you more than you think, |" she said.
 Then Margaret commenced the battle of life in earnest. It is not easy to turn from life of pleasure and luxury to one of comparative poverty. Margaret at first did not find her path strewn with roses; there were difficulties to be en- 0 countered; sights to be endured, ease to be sacrificed; but she had brave heart, and love had changed the gay. careless girl into the tender, self-sacri- fcing woman. She became her hus- bands closest friend, his best adviser. the sympathizing confdant of all his plans, ever ready to cheer in moments of depression-the first to rejoice in his success.
 John Graham is 8 wealthy man again now; success has crowned his efforts but he ever blesses the adversity which taught him to know the real value of his wife.
 So Margaret found her mission as devoted wife and mother, much to her mothers amazement; and John Graham found he had married not a pretty but terfy of fashion, but an earnest, loving woman.

Don't Leave the Farm.

Come, boys, have something to tell you,
 Come near, would whisper it low, You are thinking of leaving the homestead Don't be in hurry to go! The city has many attractions,
 But think of the vices and sins, When once in the vortex of fashion,
 How soon the course downward begins. You talk of the mines of the Black Hills, They're wealthy in gold without doubt, But ah there-is gold on the farm, boys, If only you'll shovel it out; The mercantile trade is hazard,
 The goods are first high and then low; Better stick to the farm while longer,
 Don't be in hurry to go. .-. The great busy West has inducements, And so has she busiest mart, But wealth wasn't made in a day, boys, Don't be in 8 hurry to start. The bankers and brokers are wealthy, They take in their million or 50, An, think of the fraud and deception Don't be in hurry to go. The farm is the safest and surest,
 The orchards are loaded to-day, You're free as the air of the mountain And "monarch of all you survey Better stay on the farm while longer, Though profits come in rather slow, Remember you've nothing to risk, boys, Don't be in hurry to go!

LEGENDS OF THE HUDSON,
The Story or the Flying Dutchman and tn
 Headless Horseman.

Headless Horseman.
 The Tappan sea, before "Sunny-
 side," on the Hudson river, has it's le-
 gends. One of these is a match for
 that of the phantom ship of theo South
 Atlantic. A thousand sailors have de-
 clared that they have seen that ship and
 it's master when passing the cape of
 Good Hope. The story is that plncRy
 Dutch captain, having long breasted
 headwinds, swore a fearful oath that he
 would beat around the cape if it took
 him until the day of judgment. He has
 beens beating ever since-a phantom
 known as the Flying Dutchman. Ram
 bout Van Dam, roistering young
 Dutchman of Spuytden Duyve1, crossed
 the Tappan sea on Saturday night in his
 boat to attend quilting frolic on its
 western shore. He drank, dane d, and caroused until midnight, when he enter ed his boat to return. He was warned that it was on the verge of Sunday morning. He swore fearful oath that he would not land until he reached Spuyt den Duyvel, if it took him a month of Sundays. He pushed from shore, and was never seen afterward; but he might be heard by sailors and believing landsmen plying his oars over the lonely waters at midnight in never ending voyages between Spuyt den Duy- vel and the western shore-the Flying Dutchman of the Tappan sea.
 Beyond the broad grassy bay just above Tarrytown, where was once deep water for the anchorage of large vessels, may be seen Castle Philipse, and little further on, a quaint looking building of stone and brick, with small cupola, close by a cemetery. This is the fla nous Sleepy Hollow church that figures in Irving's legend. It was built in 1899 by Frederick Philipse, tho first lord of the manor, and Catbarine Van Courtlandt, in commemoration of their marriage. In it, according to the legend, Ichabod Crane, the Connecticut schoolmaster, led the singers of psal- mody on the Sabbath and near it flows the placid Pocanteco, at the bridge over which, by the church, Ichabod had his direful encounter with the goblin known as the "Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow" The legend is too we'll known to need full repetition here. Suffice it to say that Ichabod loved Katrina Vau Tassel, and so did Brom Bones, stout young Dutchman. Ichabod fingered one night at the breaking up of a party aI van 1assel 5 to say Soft word or two to Katrina, and then mounted his lean horse, Gunp wder, and departed for home. Near the bridge ho discovered a horseman just behind him, who car ried his head on the pommel of his sad dle. Ichabod spurred on, and when he had crossed the bridge, and thought himself safe, he looked back to sec the goblin vanish. At that moment the specter rose in the saddle and threw his head at Ichabod. In another moment the schoolmaster lay sprawling ip the dust, and Gunpowder, pursuer, and the missile all passed like whirl- wind. A broken pumpkin was found at the spot the next morning. Shrewd people guessed that Brom was the 'headless horseman on that occasion. Tchabod was never heard of afterward, and Brom married Katrina.
