A New JERSEY agriculturalist is exper-
imenting upon forcing the growth of
potatoes by means of steam pipes under
the ground, and has succeeded in forcing
growth of fifteen inches high in two
weeks from date of planting. The po-
tatoes, however, have always turned out
small in comparison to the vine. This
is new idea for the practicability of
forcing vegetables by electricity dates as
far back as 1871, when Mr.. Pell, of
Hyde Park, on the Hudson river, forced
the growth of tomatoes SO that in week
from the date of planting the plants bore
small ripe tomatoes an inch in diameter.

A PARTY of immigrants camped on
Wednesday night, June 7, at Point of
Rocks station, Wyoming territory
About eight o'clock piercing scream
was heard to come from where three or
four children were at play short dis
tance from the wagons, and going to the
spot it was ascertained that child, about
three years old, was missing. A dill
gent search was at once begun, and con-
tinued until about IL o'clock, but prov
ed unsuccessful. AT daylight Thursday
morning, search was resumed. At the
place where the children were at play,
large tracks, supposed to be that of q
mountain lion, were discovered. These
were followed for miles into n large
canon, where the child was found on
projecting rock some 200 feet high
After much difficulty the little one was
rescued from his perilous position. Its
clothes were badly torn, but aside from
few scratches on its face the child was
uninjured. There is no doubt that the
lion carried the child to where it was
found, and went after its cubs.

TIE MYSTERY OF MARSHAL NEY.
From the Charleston Is. c. News.

From the Charleston Is. CD News.
A curious story is going the rounds of
the western press to the effect that
Marshal Ney was not shot, as history
tells us, bnt that he came to the United
States and lived for many years in the
South, where he was known as Peter
Stewart Ney. The story is not a new
one. Sometime about the year 1880,
French gentleman, known as Peter Ney
resided in Darlington or Marlboro, dis
trict, in this state, and pursued the pro-
fession of teaching. Many old citizens
are still living who were his pupils.
Some curious facts are related concern
ing this gentleman which tend 10 corro-
borate the suspicion that he may have
been the Marshal Ney OF the First En-
pire At the time referred to he is said
to have been exceedingly reticent as to
his personal and private history. In
conversation, however he showed re-
markable familiarity with all the events
and battles Of the Napoleonic wars, and
very frequently commented upon them,
admitting freely that he had taken an
active part in them. His martial bear
ing, style of dress, and the sabre scars
upon his head, showed that he had
known military service. He is said to
have been generally reserved and quiet
in his demeanor. At times he relapsed
into fits Of profound melancholy, which
occasionally ended in q spell OF intem-
perate drinking. He seemed disposed
to court retirement, but on one occasion
when ON visit to Columbia, he attended
military review on horseback, when
his distinguished and soldierly bearing
attracted much attention. The story
goes that some French travellers were in
town at the time, declared very positive
ly that it could be no other than Marshal
Ney. This gentleman, morever, always
betrayed a marked interest in every item
of news connected with Napoleon in his
exile, and one day, sitting in his quiet
school-room reading o newspaper which
he had just obtained, he suddenly drop
ped from his chair in a swoon. The pa
per on being examined was found to con-
tain the news of Boneparte's death.

Tue W1rE.-It is astonishing to &c

THE WIFE.-It is astonishing to sec
how well man may live on small in
come, who has handy and industrious
wife. Some men live and make far
better appearance on six or eight dollars
a week than others do on fifteen or eigl-
teen dollars. The man does his part
well, but the wife is good for nothing.
She will even upbraid her husband for
not living in as good style as her neigh
Dor, while the fault Is entirely her own.
His neighbor has neat, capable, and
industrious wife, and that makes the
difference. So look out, young men,
before you go into matrimony it is a
lottery in which most men can only buy
one ticket, and if that turns out blank,
your whole life had better be blank
too. Luckily, no one need go into tho
wedding state with his eyes closed, as
is the case with lotteries, and we Judge
all who are sensible enough to use their
optics may draw prizes.

In Machinery Hall the visitor can see

In Machinery Hall the visitor can see
the business of matchmaking by ma
chinery actually carried on, in part, at
the stand of the Waltham Company,
above the Corliss engine. This is one
of the most interesting exhibits of me-
chanism shown. In watch, complete,
there are 156 different pieces and parts,
of which 81 are screws. On some of the
latter the thread cannot be seen with the
naked eye, and holes are drilled out that
must be sought for with the microscope.
This perfection of mechanism is not the
least of the many triumphs of American
invention and skill.

from this is made to pass through chan

placed upon spring, 50 that tho action
of the foot in walking acts like bellows

in the heel, and driving the heated air
into the boot. A modification of the
apparatus can, it is thought, be applied
to horse shoes.

To CURE CoRNs.-Take a lemon and
roll it until it is soft; cut q thick slice
and bind in on the corn on retiring at
night. In the morning, il the corn is
white and disintegrated, pull it out with
your finger nails-never cut corn.
Sometimes several applications of the
lemon slices will be necessary, but the
corns are bound to succump, and you
can dance the next night if You like.
After you remove the corns wear shoes
that fit and are not too stiff in the soles.

A FIVE-POUND DWARF.
From the New Orleans Republican,

One of the most remarkable human
beings ever seen in this country, or per-
haps in any other, arrived in this city
last week, and is stopping at the ST.
Charles Hotel, with her parents, direct
from Mexico, and unknown to the Amer
was born at Vera Cruz, and is said to be
II years old. She is twenty inches high
and is said to weigh scarce'v more than
five pounds. Imagine a French doll
walking and talking to you and some
idea of her appearance can be had
Standing on q parlor floor her head
reaches about to the seat of an ordinary
chair, and yet her limbs and body are in
all respects well proportioned. Mrs.
BelEnap could get no more than one toe
of her foot into the Mexican girls shoe.
Her head, about as big as mans fist, is
we'll shaped and covered with soft brown
hair. The only thing out of line with
her size Is her nose that was evidently
made for a larger girl, but it will do
She has bright, black eyes, and is intel
igent, conversing with q little voice in
the language of her parents. She runs
and plays about the room as if she en-
joyed her little life, and salutes and bids
adieu to her guests with evident proprie-
ty, In the way of joke she offered to
carry a fat reporter on her back, and
STOPPING over asked him to climb up on
her shoulders. The little midght will
astonish any one who sees her, because
she is so tiny and SO human. Standing
by the side of Tom Thumb she would
reach his elbow, and the General would
look like an evergrown and bloated aris-
tocrat. The Liliputian is to be taken to
the Centennial Exposition, and stops
here for few days to consult dolls dress
makers about fashionable wardrobes for
herself. In the meantime she will hold
receptions at the Academy of Music
