The Very Worst Boy I'm Vir
ginia.

The worst boy is sup posed to
live in Richmond, Va. He direct
ed a colored hay man to empty
his tWo-ton load In the back yard
of an old lady who was deaf. He
claimed that the old lady was his
mother-in-law. The load of hay
was emptied in her back yards and
when the driver came to the front
to ask the old lady for his pay she
looked upon him with a visage
like a thunder cloud. She called
him an imposter, and accused him
of imposing upon an old and lone
ly..female. He showed her the
load of hay in her back yard. She
told him to take 1t away. and re-
marked that darkeys we're bigger
fools now than ever. The darkey
worked two hours, got his load
back on his cart, and soliloquized
thusly, "Niggers is called fools. 1
b'lieve dey are in giner'l: but of a
man or boy ever catch dis hay
goin' out'n dis cart before de back
abilities is put down, den dis mig
ger guine to 'vaporate."

dignatlon against the doctor, anc
threats of lynching were freely
| made.
Sup to twelve O'CLOCK en- We'd
nesday night the streets OF Berk'
eley Springs were as quiet as usual
and nothing was observable, even
by those who were bitterest against
the imprisoned doctor, and would
not have inferred in an attempt to
lynch him, that portended the
dreadful tragedy so.soon to be en-
acted. About one o'clock Thurs
day morning several masked men
went quietly along.the deserted
main street and extinguished
every street lamp save the one in
front of the county Jail. Shortly
after a party of from twenty five
to forty men, all masked except
one-a large, powerful man, who
acted as leader-approached the
ljail and two or three entered and
demanded the keys of the Jail The
jailor was absent, replied one OF
q guard of six young men who
had been placed there only that
night, and there were no keys
there. No time was wasted in
parley and a few of the party pro-
ceeded to q neighboring black
smith shop, procured a twelve
pound sledge, with which the lead
er speedily battered down the door
| of the room in which DIR. Crawford
was confined. 1t is said that Craw-
ford was heard TO encourage the
party, and invite them in. "Never
fear" said one of the party, "we'll
be there soon enough" After
wards some one said: "Put your
hands behind you;" to which the
doctor made nj reply. This was
| all the conversation that took place,
the doctor evidently realizing his
fate and accepting it with philo-
sophie fortitude, though of course
what took place at the hanging is
not known, and it will not be for
many years at least. The lynch
ers pulled the unfortunate man
out of bed, and did not allow
him time to dress, but dragged
him away and were seen no more.
Nc alarm was given at once, but
at 3 o'clock the courthouse bell
was rung and the whole town
aroused, though pursuit of the
lynchers was not attempted nor
Investigations made until daylight.
Then, at a point on the creek,
about three-quarters OF a mile
from town, was found the dead
body of DIR. Crawford, hanging
from q tree"

BADLY CHEATED.

Mr.. -, of a certain town in
Vermont, is not distinguished for
liberality, either of purse or opin-
ion. His ruling passion is a fear
of being cheated. The loss, wheth-
er real or fancied, of a few cents
would give him more pain than the
destruction of an entire navy. He
once bought a large cake Of tallow
at a country store at ten cents a
pound. On breaking it to pieces
at home, it was found to contain a
large cavity. This he considered
a terrible disclosure of cupidity
and fraud. He drove furiously
back to the store, entering in great
excitement, bearing the cake OF
tallow, exclaiming vehemently ::
"Here, yon rascal, you have
cheated me! Do you call that an
honest cake of tallow? It is hol-
low, and there amt near so much
as there appeared to be-. / want
you to make it right"
Certainly" replied the mer-
chant, "Ill make it right. didn't
know the cake was hollow. You
paid ten cents a pound. Now.
Mr.. -, how much do you sup
pose the hole will weigh?"

Useful Information.

Everybody knows that when a
new varietp of potatoes makes its
appearance the yield Is large, The
reason is that seed potatoes cost
from two to five dollars per bushel
and out of a motive of economy
we plant scientifically. We cut a
potato into small bite, with not
more than an eye or two in each
piece. When these potatoes be-
come cheap, we plant whole pota-
toes, big or little. generally little,
and the result is just the same as
if we planted from ten to twenty
grains of corn in q hill.
Soapsuds may beused to great adj
vantage for manuring grape-vines.
Downing says he has seen an Isa-
bella grape vine produce three
thousand fine clusters of well-rip-
ened fruit in a season by the liberal
use of manure and soapsuds from
the weekly wash. The effect of
soapsuds on other plants is remark
able. A cypress vine that had re-
manned stationary for about a fort
night, when about two inches
high, Immediately began growing
after being watered with soap
suds, and grew about six inches in
five days.
Halls Journal of Health thus
sums up some of the uses of salt /:
1t will cure sick headace, make
cream freeze, make butter come,
take ink-stains out Of cloth of any
kind, kill worms, make the ground
cool ; 30 it is more cengenial to Gel
cry, etc: 1t will ease the itching
pain caused by irritating skin dis
eases, like hives, itch, etc. 1t will
produce vomiting, or stop it, as
you like: and many other things
too numerous to mention. All
pure salt will do this, to a certain
degree, but sea salt is the most eff.
| fectual in it's action.

MAKING THR BEST OF THINGS,

Pussy people want everything
just so, and expect that the stars,
moon and sun are going out OF
their way to oblige them. The
first lesson of wisdom is, accept
cheerfully the inevitable.
You can scarcely understand
how much sweet and wholesome
wisdom lies in simply making the
best of things. If We fancy we are
going to make circumstances bend
to us, we shall be continually run
ming our heads against q stone
wall. The wall will never stir out
of the way, but we can easily go
around it.
We cannot help or hinder that
very independent thing, the wealth
er. 1t Will rain or shine, be hot
or cold, just as it was sent. have
seen foolish people who made
themselves quite miserable about
the weather. It was never going
to rain again, or it would rain for
ever! The wind blew too strong
ly, or else they were suffering for
a breath of air! !, Their time was
filed with complaints of things
they could no more alter than they
could alter the earth's orbit.
There are others I have known
completely conquered by dust, flies
or mosquitoes. Such things are
troublesome or annoying, to be
sure, but can we avoid them by
fretting or Tuning? Fly-specks
are bad enough, but a fretful dis
position is a thousand times worse.
Let the flies buzz and the mosqui-
toes bite, if they must, but try and
keep yourself sweet and tranquil.
1 remember reading of a philos-
opher, who was SO very poor he
had everything stripped away from
him but a miserable straw bed and
one wretched blanket. The wealth
er became intensely cold, and to
prevent freezing to death he wrap
ped himself completely in the blan-
ket and cut holes for his eyes, nose
and mouth. Here he says, he not
only existed, but was very happy.
You have heard the story, per-
haps, of two little street beggars
who, on a bitter cold night, crept
under an old door. Instead of la
menting over their misery, one
said to the other: "Ah, Pete,
what do you s'pose the folks do
what amt got any door"
Such examples of cheerfulness
under great evil, should surely
help us to meet the little evils OF
life in the right s~pirit.-Eschange.

HOW TO APPLY LIME. :

Lime should always be slaked
before applying it to land. 1t
ought to be as fine as -four, or as
fine as shaking can make it, then
spread it on plowed land, and har-
row it in at any season of the year
you please. 1t is impossible for
any farmer to know in advance
what the benefit Of applying lime
will be, aE no man can tell what
substances his soil contains that
lime will act ON in q chemical way,
and thus benefit the soil for any
crop. AS an experiment, 80 bush
