Mrs. Jones on PicnicS.

Well, go to the picnic if you like. l

wouldn't; nothing could make me-
Picnics don't turn out well, according
to my experience, and people don't
come home as they went. don't mean
about clothes; for though it generally
rains and spoils them, that isn't much.
And if you like to sit in the wind and
share your dinner with wasps, can't
object, though I'd rather have mine at
a table. I'm thinking of more serious
things, my dear Not falling down
mountains and breaking your bones, or
umbling out OF boats and getting
drowned, and all that; but, as l said
before, nothing could make me 90 upon
Il picnic with my steady company, if ]
was gal as | was once. You never
saw two young people in that relation
come home from picnic without tiff.
They start as bright as new five-cent
piece; she all muslin and blue ribbon,
aud smiles and curls; he with 4 fresh
straw hat and nice white linen; and he
carries her parasol and her shawl and
her fan, and he wears a button-hole

But see them when they get back, and

of her dress and his collar. She's cross

have been married five years generally
do, and as soon as she gets to her room
she bursts into tears and says she wishes
she was dead. There's been a quarrel,
and often it's the end of the match.
l can't tell why it is, but what with
the fatigue and the heat, and the rain

How the Great Railway King Obtain
ed His Seepters

Did you ever hear how Tom Scott
won his spurs? He had passed from an
obscure boyhood into active life, and
by his own resolute endeavor had be-
come Superintendent of a Western
division of road now calling him its
President. One day there was an acci-
dent, hopelesSly wrecking a great
freight train, and obstructing the track
so that disastrous delays seemed newt
able. Important trains were waiting;
commercial interests demanded the
speedy clearing of that track, but in
that remote district, in that difficult
mountain pass, the case was almost
helpless. Mr.. Scott came down to look
at the wreck, and meantime adjusted
his thinking cap, swiftly calculated lall
profits and loss. The freight train had
a quantity of crude oil on its cars, and
Tom Scott's genius ordered that oil so
arranged that the entire wreck should
get its share, then he set fire and tele-
graphed to headquarters that the track
was clear.
1t was a daring exploit, and men
stared for a moment, till the smoke
blew away and they realized what such
a will and brain might be worth. They
made him Vice-President OF the road
most speedily, and to-day Tom Scott,
king over all other railway kings of all
the world, lends himself heart and soul
to the glory of Observation-Disclosures

The Mysterious Contents of 4 Sealed
Bag.

Last week sun-burRed miner-at
least he represented himself as such
arriVedin. the city, and put up at the
Atlantic House. .... .r
He was commonly dressed, and from
his general appearance one would not
have supposed that he had supertluity
of ducats or gold dust, but you can't
most always tell from appearance alone.
This man had plenty of dust. He was
Just in from the Black Hills, where he
had struck it rich. He told plausible
story and exhibited a well filed bag,
carefully sealed up, as proof of his state
ments. He boarded at the house, order
ed wine freely and smoked the best
cigars. OF course his credit was good,
as he had bag of gold dust. He was
liberal chap, and was going to
give one of the ladies of the house
nugget.
He treated himself well, and was
going to have a good time while in
Omaha, as he had been roughing it for
some months in the Black Hills. A day
or two ago he handed the gold-dust bag
to Capt. HaserOdt, the landlord, for
safe-keeping, as he was going to the
Smelling works on business. As the
man failed to come back, after a reason
able absence the bag was opened, and
found to contain a lot of ordinary sand,
with some nuggets of lead to give it
weight. That Black Hills miner has
not snce been heard from, and his dis
appearance is not regarded as q very

4 Summer Piece.

Mr.. Clumpole, who resides on West
Adams SGeet, not far from Ashland
Avenue, is a man who loves Nature and
is a little short-sighted. The other day
he noticed that his door-yard plot looked
little dry and needed watering; so,
when he went home at night, he took
nice new garden hose with him, fur
nished duly with small nozzle and a
couplerc He attached it about dusk,
having taken the precaution to leave
his glasses in the house, and, sallying
out, laid stream on the corner of the
grass-plOt. Having reduced it to the
consistency of mud, or thin pOrridge,
he resolved to turn his attention to an
other corner, and so attempted to exc
cute the maneuver of bringing the hose
round in a circle, nozzle downward.
He did so very neatly, considering his
limited experience; and, after filling
his slippers full of water, directed the
stream vehemently upon the tagged
pathway, causing misty dTizzle that
| took all the curl out of his family, who
had assembled on the, doorsteps. At
this moment he beheld pedestrian
looming up through the dusk, and, Civ
ing the nozzle an upward jerk, so as to
avoid wetting him, was rewarded by
screams of agony from the second-story
window of the house across the way.
He had delivered the stream with sim
gular accuracy upon the bed of an hys-
terical old maid, who was laid up with
rheumatism. In his surprise and nerv-
BUSINESS, he brought the stream down,
and directed it toward his boundary
fence, but the elevation was too
great, and it went + over, admin
istering a raking fire or water,
to speak more lcerrectly-upon his
neighbours daughter and his neighbours
daughters young man, who were swing
/ inG upon the gate. In three seconds he
had reduced that young mans straw
hat to something verymuch like BIRDS
nest soup, and his alpaca coat and duck
pantaloons were. clinging to his chilled
frame like a wet sail to a mast. As for
the neighbor's daughter, her hair was
washed out of curl, and her cheeks
rubbed off and smeared her nice white
muslin dress, but fortunately she didn't
feel If, because she had gone off into
mysteries when the first few pals of
aqueous fluid went down her back. Mr..
CiumpOle was now helplessly uncon-
trollable, and when Officer Mahony
came up to arrest him directed stream
on the patrolman that soaked him
through and through. The officer
rushed in to club the madman, but Mr..
Clumpole had got entangled in the hose
and tripped and fell, and the officer
tumbled over him, so that they rolled
in helpless heap on the muddy grass,
while the hose kept on saturating them.
Mr.. Clumpole was finally able to ex-
plain and settle matters. he bought a

NJ. Thiers's Elephant.

NJ. Theirs has just met with a singu-
lar adventure. The King Of Siam, who
appears to be as fond of antithesis as
Victor Hugo, desiring to show his ad
miration of the illustrious Frenchman,
sent him a superb elephant. The ami
NAL arrived at the Ivry Railway station,
addressed to "M. Theirs, President of
the French Republic''-a fact which
proves that the people of Siam are
rather behindhand in news. NJ Thiers
was informed by letter of the Kings
polite attention, but the real nature of
the royal present was kept a secret.
Judge of the little statesman's surprise
on going to the railway station and find
ing an elephant waiting for him! The
ex-President, not being exactly able to
install the interesting creature in his
hotel in the Place St. Georges, made
an Offering of it TO the Jardin d'Accli-
nation, where it is now the great center
of attraction; at least so the papers say.

GrasshOppers in Colorado.

The grasshopper armyof 1876 reached
US Saturday last, and, so far as we have
heard, destroyed the gardens and corn
crops of the county. THE crop pros
poets in the valley were excellent, not
withstandiDg the unfavOrable season.
This third annual disaster to the faith
full few who have undertaken farming
seems enough to drive them from the
business. The tide must turn some day,
however. We suppose when our cup of
misery is full, whether soon or late, the
stream of wrath will be stayed. Tie
'hoppers appeared to come in here from
a nOrtheasterly direction and to depart
in a southwesterly, as before. They
reached Pueblo on the same day they
arrived here, and were in Northern Col
orado about a week before. The small
grain has been saved throughout the
State, but we believe the green crops
still in the fields, with few exceptions,
where extra exertions were used, have
been entirely consumed.-LGs, Antnlas

Living for Four Days with a Broken
Neck.

On the I'd inst, Francis DOrr was
taken to the Flatbush Hospital, suffer-
ing from a fracture of the spinal column,
which he had sustained by falling dis
tance of twelve feet from pile OF lum-
Der, while at work the preceding day
near Catharine Ferry. DIR. Schenck,
the physician in charge ofthe Hospital,
did every thing that was possible to save
the life of the unfortunate man, but his
efforts were unavailing, and the patient
died on the 9th inst, just four days at-
ter he received his fatal injuries. While
in the hospital he was perfectly con-
sciOus and rational, and cOnversed from
time to time with his fellOw-patients in
reference to his family. He said he had
a son and daughter, who live in Hudson
Avenue. The post mortem showed that
death resulted from broken neck, and
it is matter of surprise to the doctors
that the victim lived so long after the
fall. DIR. Henry c. Simms, the Coro-
ner, will hold an inquest in few days.

A Powerful Band Of Bro theirs.

On Tuesday, while the sun was pour
ing down its bGstering rays, making
the thermometer dance up to 40,
Adam L. Fisher, of Marion Township,
engaged the services of eight brothers
at moving oats in a thirty-twO-acre
field. Below we give the name, age
and height of each of the brothers !:
Benjamin Heflinger, Al years old,
height 6 feet u inches; George, So
years old, height ) feet, II inches !;
Jonn, 30 years old, height feet; VIII
liam, 80 years old, height ) feet III iu-

feet 114 inches; Daniel, 24 years old,
height ) feet IL inches; Pearse, 23
years old, feet II inches; Gabriel, 10
years old, height feet 114 inches.
Here were eight brothers averaging six
feet in height, all sound in health. They
moved thirty-two acres of oats in one
day, which is an average of four acres
to the man. They all live in Marion
Township, the furthest within an hours

New Method of Testing Milk.

The Country Gentleman advises its
readers to test their milk by pouring a
given quantity into a small cup, ar
ranged to be heated in a water bath.
When the temperature of 80 degrees is
reached, the smell of garlic, putridity,
fever or udder disease will unmistaka
blv manifest itself. If the milk is sus-
pected of being diluted or skinned, the
sample in the cup IS eoagulated by rem
net, the curd is compressed to expel the
whey, and the curd is then weighed.
By knowing the standard weight OF the
curd of given quantity of milk, and
comparing it with the sample tested,
the variation shows the amount of water
that has been added, or to what extent
it has been SKINNED.

The CGnSe of Coughs.

An italian physician attributes cough
to the presence of a parasitic fungus in
the air passages. In grave cases, this
parasite multiplies, and reaches into the
lung cells. Quinine has the property
of stopping the development of micro
scopic fungi, and is, therefore, adapted
as a remedy in the present case. DR..
l.. has used with success the following
powder: Carbohydrate of quinine, l
part; bicarbonate of soda, 1 part; gum
arabic, 20 parts. The bicarbOnate of
soda is meant to dissolve the mucus,
the gum arabic to increase the adher-
ence of the powder on the bronchial
passages. The installation Glowing
in) of the powder should take place du-
ring a deep inspiration of the patient, so
as to facilitate its penetration into the
windpipe, which is the principal seat of
the nlicrOScODic fungus.

Dressing in Saratoga.

There is less dressing in Saratoga
every year. Now and then a "swell -

"How do you wear the ribbon?" |
asked one of them.
"Well, we buy six yards of wide blue
ribbon. This we make into bows,
sashes, etc. When we wear blue, it is
blue throughout-blu on the hat, blue
sash, blue bows, blue stockings, etc. "
Sand the other ribbon?'
"Why, we also buy six yards of car
dinal, six yards of pearl, and six yards
of straw color. So, you see, with six
muslin dresses and three white chip
hats, we can come out in q new suit
every day, and if we have colored par
asols to match, why the taste is perfect,

day, and really she is one of the sweet
est and most charmingly dressed young
ladies here.
No soiled silks for her. No shiny
satins or hot grains!
She can take the beaux away from
the young lady dressed in soiled gros-
grains every time.
The fact is, men fall in love with
women on account of their neatness.
No gentleman ever loved sOiled wom-
an. So, young ladies, wash your greasy
hair till it looks as light and fleecy as
God made it, throw away the rouge and
powder, let the skin have the shine and
glow of health, throw away your old
soiled silks, and dress yourselves up in
sweet white muslins, and then the beaux
will swarm around you as the bees
swarm around the fragrant hOneysuckle.

The Most Useful Drugs.

According to the London Medical
Times and Gazette, a party of ten medi-
cal men were dining together not long
since, and one of them, during dessert,
started the question that, suppOsing all
present were limited in their practice to
a selection of six pharmacopOeial RENE
dies, which would be chosen as being
most useful, compound drugs to be ex-
cepted. Each of the party wrote the
names of the six drugs he should select,
and handed them to the doctor who
started the inquiry. On examining the
lists, it was found majority of votes
were given in favor of opium, quinine
and iron; between mercury and iodide
of potassium the votes were equally di-
vided, as they were also between am
monia and chlorOfOrm.

A Michigan Dog Case.

A dog case, tried in the Circuit Court
at Saginaw, is fully reported in the
Michigan Larger. The plaintiff raised
berries for the market, and had a little
dog that industriously drove away the
birds from the crop. The defendant
owned big dog, and one day the little
dog, chasing birds into defendants
premises, was bitten by the big dog and
mortally wounded. The plaintiff prov
ed the uncommon value of his dog, and
demanded damages. The defendant
justified the conduct of his dog under u
statute which says that it is the duty
of every police officer or constable to
kill unlicensed dogs. The plaintiff S
dog was not licensed. Judge Marston,
in his charge to the jury, said: :" 1t
does not appear from the record, and
the Court will not presume that de-
fendant's dog was either de jure or de
facto a police officer or constable; {;
and that if he held neither of these po-
sitions at the time, then clearly it
was not his duty to act in so summary
and severe manner. 1t does not sat
isfactorily appear that defendants dog
had sufficient intelligence or discretion
to act in an official capacity in such
cases. As an officer, if he claimed to
act in that capacity, he only had the
right to kill plaintiffs dog in case he
round him going at large not licensed ;
and whether defendants dog had eX-
amined the records and ascertained
thereby that plaintiffs dog was not Ii
censed, does not appear. Even if the
plaintiffs dog had no collar on, and the
defendants dog killed him, not because
in not wearing collar he was violat-
ing the law, but because of some malice
entertained toward him, then it is clear
that he could not afterward come in
and justify under this statute. u

WinslOw's Account of Himself.

Ezra d. Winslow, the fOrger, has con-
tributed his autobiography to the Bos-
ton Herald The only point in his ca
reer which has excited general interest
is thrown into the background by
a mass of irrelevant details. He main
tains that all the wrong he ever did
was in desperate attempt, when gOaded
to destruction, to save his friends. The
panic caught him but poorly prepared
to meet it, and what with the stringent
times and the underhand statements Of
hAs enemies, he found it next to impos-
sible to get along His creditors made
heart-rending appeals to him for in
slant help In wild effort to save HIM
self he did many foolish things, and at
length had to meet an additional $780,
600, which friend, whose property was
available, promised, but failed to meet.
He then details his flight to New York,
and from thence to Europe. His career
is still fresh in the minds of the public.
He denies all the charges made against
him in the various positions which he
held. He does not, however, allude to
the forgeries. He had but 800 when
he left Boston, and when arrested in
London had but $50. His wife and fam
lily are with him in London.
