A little child of Mr.. II. Il. Hook, OF Ha-
gcrstown, Nd, died last week with convul-
sions. During the holidays last year n party
OF maskers called at AIr. Hooks house, and,
according to a foolish practice, cakes, DC,
were thrown on the floor for children, and
as they were about to take them they were
frightened away by one Of the maskers call

very timid, was'so frightened that she was
thrown into commissions, and ever since has
had them at intervals until they caused her
death. 49, ...s -. I'LL. -.

Important to Tobacco.Planters.

1t is well known what large quantities Of
wood and valuable timber are consumed in
the usual way Of preparing plant-beds, and
how laborious and trying to the physical
strength Of the hands is the work requir ed.
Now, here is q simple, cheap, and quick
mode OF accomplishing this formerly very
expensive, laborious, and wasteful but ne
ceSsary work: Substitute kerosine oil for
wood-one gallon to the one hundred
square yards is said to be sufficient
by those who have tried it. Clear
oil the bed selected as il for burn
ing in the old way, then with q watering
pot apply the Oil evenly and uniformly.
Strike your match, start the fire, and get
out OF the way. II it be desirable to burn
deeper, before applying the oil hoe up the
bed, and then proceed rs above directed.
The oil will penetrate the soil as far as it is
worked by the hoe, and will burn as deep as
the oil pcnctrates. have tried it in my
garden, and can vouch for the fact. Sevc-
| raj parties in Halifax county have raised
| tobacco plants by this method. DR.. Grad
dock will give any desired information.
r. NJ. BLANToN.
The brother referred to above il DR.. j.
w. Craddock. Master of No. III. We un-
derstand that Brother Craddock lost all his
plants this spring and thought he would
make a new bed. The place selected was
grassy, and to get rid Of the grass he sprin-
killed. kerosine oil on it and set it on fire. He
was surprised at the effect, the oil creating
brilliant fire and intense heat, burning for
nearly half an hour. On examination it
was found that the bed was so thoroughly
burned that the Doctor sowed his seed and
had an abundance OF plants, not suffering
! from the fly. .-r-.
! II this information is correct, and we
| hope the Doctor will let us hear from him,
! it is hardly possible to estimate the value OF
the discovery to the farmers OF the country.
! 1t takes by the old method thirty cords OF
wood to burn bed OF 1000 square yards
properly. Omitting the value Of the wood,
! it costs the farmer fifty cents 4 cord to have
| it cut. or S15 for the lot. Should the oil
prove practicable ten gallons will suffice for
the bed. BY cooperating in the grange the oil
can be bought for lac. Il gallon. So that the
fuel required for bed OF 1000 yards will
cost only S1.40, besides the economy in Ia
Dor and wood. In addition, it is probable
that the scent OF the oil left in the ground
will keep off destructive insects, while the
fire will have extracted those properties
which are destructive to plant life.
| 1t is possible our trucking friends may be
able to make something out OF this in heat
ing their fields for their early vegetables,
and thus give them that stimulus expensive
guanoS are supposed to give, and destroy the
| destructive worms and insects which lnfest
their fields Virginia Patron

A Touching Story.

The Paris correspondent of the New
York EUening Post furnishes the follow
ing:
"I was told this morning a touching
story, which may illustrate one side of
Paris, and will possibly affect many
reader who has himself seen something
of art life in the great Babylon. A
young American artist of much talent
has been for some months preparing
picture entitled Charlotte Corday, on
the Eve of Her Execution proposing
to send it to the Centennial Exposition.
As he is most thoroughly conscientious
and painstaking, he has faithfully la
bored with models. 1t is scarcely neo-
essary to say that he found much diff
Guilty in finding one who suited him in
every particular. When lie did find her
he was surprised to learn that-some-
thing perhaps little rare for models
she was the virtuous daughter of pious
parents, and had adopted this curious
profession because she had drifted into
it at a moment when there was nothing
else to do. Joined to her rare and deli
cate beauty was an inde6nable and Nex-
quisite melancholy, which seemed born
of some vague and unexpressed appre-
hension of future trouble. During the
70 or 80 sittings which the model gave
the artist, the latter frequently and re-
spectfully endeavored to win from her
the secret Of her troubles, but always in
vain. At last, he himself seeing in the
mysterious pallors and sudden flashes
which overspread the beautiful features,
that the model was doomed to consump-
tion-that insiduous malady which so
rarely releases victim which it takes
from the poor and overworked classes.
One day the model came late; then there
were days when she came not all. At
one time she said: You must make
haste, or we shall be too late to see the
picture finished There was a whole
epic of suffering in the manner in which
she uttered those words. The artist
delicately endeavored to secure care and
attention for the beautiful model, and to
warn her of her danger. But, with that
intense pride so characteristic of the
Partisan women of her class, she refused
all succOr from any individual, and
wasted and wasted until she was com
PEELED to go to the hospital.
Now she lies there, fading out, Just as
white cloud sometimes fades in the
morning sky. You admire it for an in
slant, it is SO utterly pure-so remote
from all things gross-then it is gone.
Perhaps you will think for a moment
about this poor model when you look at
the picture of Charlotte Corday, in the
art department of the Centennial Expo
sition at Philadelphia this Summer"

"Tm glad you've kept your word,
Johnny. But it's going pretty hard with
you, suppose, to be honest ?"
lawful hard, sir, said Johnny "but
told her would and did"
"That's right. Don't go back Of yonr
word. Stick it out. You'll have better
times by and by"
"Do you see that bank over there ?"
said the young man, pointing to the
marble building in Bleecker street.
"Well, there amt money enough in that
place to make me go back. I'd rather
go cold and hungry and not be hunted,
so would"
The next Summer one of the hotel
proprietors at Long Branch sent up to
the superintendent for a man to keephn
eye OIL the thieves that hang round a
watering place. 81 can get you man" 1"
said the superintendent, thinking of
Johnny, "bnt I'm bound to tell you
he's been thief"
"Then don't want him."
Then the superintendent told the story
l have told, only he told it better.
"Send him down" said the landlord.
A chap thatu do that ought to be
helped"
1t was $25 week to Johnny, and it
made him a man. During that season
there wasn't robbery committed at the
Branch. Johnny stationed himself at
the railroad depot, and when he saw
former pal he warned him off. cts no
use" he would say; "I don't want to
pipe none O. you, boys, and amt goin'
to do it if you stay away. If you come
here it'll be awful rough on both o. us. ="
And to their credit, it ought to be
said, that they always went back. If 1
had been in the sentimental or the moral
way there is one thing 1 should have
done. Do you know what that is? 1
should liked to have known that sister
that had the heart disease. One other
thing: I'd like to give you the name of
that superintendent, but I'd have to ask
him first, and that's impossible.

Senatorial Chairs and their History

Many of the seats occupied by grave
United States Senators have an interest
ing history which is known by but few,
and to none better than the veteran
Captain Isaac Bassett, assistant door
keeper of the Senate, and one of the
most valuable employees of that body,
who has seen forty-fve years of service
in his present position. He it is who,
with the aid of Assistant Sergeant-at-
Arms James I. Christy, keeps the pages
within the bounds of decorum, and
whose further business it is to announce
message bearers from the President and
the House of Representatives to the
Senate. Captain Bassett, who is a gem
eral favorite with the Senators, retains
many cherished "reminiscences of great
men who have passed away, and who
formerly occupied seats in the Senate.
Among these are Daniel Webster, John
@. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Thomas Ben
ton and Stephen A. Douglass. The
chairs and desks of these distinguished
men are still in use in the Senate, for it
is notable fact that while the furniture
Of the House of Representatives is fire.
quently changed, that of the Senate,
with the exception of the carpet, re-
mains substantially as it was half a CEN
tury ago. 1t is true that when a new
State has been admitted new chairs and
desks have been made for the incoming
Senators, but they have been invariably
fashioned after the old model. Some Of
the old chairs have also been re-uphol-
stored, but most of them have never
been repaired, being apparently as good
to-day as they were when first placed in
the chamber. The chairs and desks of
Cass, Calhoun, Webster, Clay, Douglass
and Benton, as has been stated, still re-
main in the Senate chamber, and are in
daily use, but exactly which they are or
who occupies them at present, Captain
Bassett declines tc tell, for the reason
that If the fact was known relic hunters
would soon mutilate them beyond recog-
milton. Many of these chairs and desks
have been changed Is regards location,
but the Captain has made mental note
of every change, and could, if he de-
sired, point them out at once. It is
known, however, that Mr.. Ferry's seat
on the floor is that formerly occupied
by Senator Sumner. It was formerly
located on the outer row Of seats, but
was removed by Mr.. Ferry to the second
row from the front on the left of the
Presidents chair, it being the eighth
from the main aisle. There are but
three chairs of an entirely new pattern
in the chamber-those occupied by Sen
ators Thurman, Gordon and Eaton.
These have cane seats and high caned
backs, and can be tilted backward at
will. Senators Alcorn, Conkling and
Hitchcock use the old style of seat, with
the improvement Of an uncovered cane
bottom, while many Senators sit on
cane-bottomed chairs covered with hair
cloth. As stated before, however, most
of the seats have never been altered in
any respect since being placed in the
chamber Washington Star.

The Greeley Man.ion Gone.
NOTHING LEFT OF THE OLD HOUSE AT
CHAPPAQUA BUT PILE OF DEBRIS.

All that is left Of Horace Greeley's
old homestead in the woods at Cahppa-
qua is cellar full of debris and high
brick chimney. The structure was de-
stroyed by fire on Friday evening, April
IA. The tenants who had occupied the
house during the past year moved out
on Tuesday, and Col. Smith, the hus-
band Of Ida Greeley, employed a wo-
man to clean the house preparatory to
repainting it for occupancy this Summer
by himself and wife. To heat the water
needed by the scrubbing woman a fire
had been built in an open fireplace, but
at four O'Clock when Col. Smith visited
the house this was but heap of dying
emhers, and the woman believed it to
be out when she closed the house an
hour later. At half-past six the flames
of the burning house were seen above
the hill which hides it from the village,
but when the villagers reached the
scene the entire building was ablaze,
and in little while it was totally con-
sumed. There is no suspicion of in
cendiarism, and only a surmise that the
flames sprang up from the embers on
the hearth.
Beyond barrel of vinegar nothing
was in the house when it burned. All
Mr.. Greeley's books, manuscripts, and
valuable works of art, are safe in the
house on the edge of the farm, in the
keeping of his daughter. Early in the
day on which the house was destroyed,
Col. Smith chopped down, with the
same axe which Mr.. Greeley had often
welded, a number of trees that stood
between the house and the renowned
cedar grove in which Mr.. Greeley re-
ceived the Southern Delegation Of the
Baltimore Convention in 1872. Had
these trees remained this grove might
have been destroyed.
The intrinsic value Of the burned
house was small. 1t was the most or
dinary kind of frame cottage, two
stories high and shaped in the simplest
style. But in association it was very
rich. In it Horace Greeley spent the
twenty years that succeeded his purchase
of the Chappaqua property. In it he
wrote, reared his children, received his
friends, and lod that quiet, modest life
that made the rustic neighbors worship
him as demi-god.
Mrs. Greeley grew to dislike the build
ing because the shade and forest trees
hemmed it in and gave it the quiet Sc
clusion that Horace Greeley most ad-
mired it for, also deprived it of warmth
and light, leaving it damp and unwhole-
some. The good wife, with a regard for
her own and her children's health, pre-
vailed upon Mr.. Greeley topurchase the
little dwelling facing the main street OF
Chappaqua, by the side of the private
roadway to the farm. After this had
been snugly re-plastered and otherwise
improved the family moved into it. But
until his death, although several years
passed, Horace Greeley's fondness for
the old homestead in the woods never
diminished. His books remained in his
old study there, and he came to them
and spent his Saturdays and Sundays
among them, sometimes alone, but often
with his daughters, Ida and Gabrielle,
the latter Of whom was always first in
his hearty. r Sun.
