Signs of a Prosperous Farmer.

When you see his barn larger than
his house, It shows that he will have
large profits and small Affections.
When you see him driving his
work Instead of his work driving him,
IL shows that he will never be driven
from good resolutions, and that he
will certainly work his way to pros
perity.
When you always see in his wood
house a sufficiency for three months
or more, It shows that he will be a
more than ninety days wonder in
farming operations, and that he is not
sleeping In his house after q drunken
frolic.
When he has a house separate from
the main building. puIposely for ash
es, and an iron or tin vessel to trans
port them, 1t shows that he never
built his residence to be funeral pile
for bis family, and perhaps himself.
When his sled is housed in summer
and his farming implements covered
both winter and summer. 1t plainly
shows that he will have good house
over his head I'm the summer of early
life and the winter of old age.
When his cattle are properly shield
ed and fed in winter, 1t evidences that

What Constitutes Marriage.

Charlotte Wetmore, Of Eleventh
street, Brooklyn, N. Y, has begun an
action against her husband, Shipman
s. Wetmore, the proprietor Ofa paper
box factory OH Columbia street, on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. The defendant contends that
the plaintiff was not his wife, for the
reason that no ceremony was perform
ed by a clergyman. The papers show
that prior to the I'd of July, 1871, they
became engaged to be married but the
defendant was anxious that his faith
er should not know of the affair, and
prevailed upon the plaintiff to live
with him as his wife without the nup-
tial ceremony. In 1873. child was
born, of which defendant Is the father.
Up TO the time they'd lived together
as husbadd and wife. and the defend
ant had introduced her frequently as
his wife. After that he left her, but
allowed her Sc per week. Recently
be refused to contribute anything to
her support, and on several occasions
when he met her assaulted and beat
her. Judge Reynolds ofthe city court
ordered the defendant to pay S6 per
week alimony and $50 counsel fee.
He held that the couple were as much
man and wife as If a ceremony had
been performed.

An Awful ExpiatiOn.

On Friday night, about midnight, a
posse of between sixty and seventy
five men quietly entered our town,
went to the blacksmith shop, broke Il
open, procured tools and proceeded to
the jail and broke open the door,
They went.to the cell In which Geo.
jackson, the negro ravisher and MUIR
derer of the little girl Corinna Haynes,
was confined, and breaking open the
door of the cell they took George out
and departed. They carried him
south of town about four miles, near
the Berlin road, where they chained
him TO a green sapllng and there
burned him. The whole affair was
conducted quietly, except the noise
made In breaking open the shop, and
very few persons were aware Of their
presence until they were leaving the
town. AS they were going off they
set up q loud yelling, which was don e
to prevent the voice of the negro from
being heard. Some Of our citizens
saw them riding through the streets,
and learning they had the negro, fol-
lowed them until they came to the
place of execution. When they ar
rived there, however, the negro was
burned to death and the men all gone.
AT Mr.. Brazzeale's the kidnappers
halted and gave George some water
and asked j. C. Brazzeale to go with
them and hear what George had to
say This he declined doing. We

What Vanderbilt is Like.

There is but one Vanderbilt In New
York and he is familiarly called Bill
1t was a question how he would meet
the responsibilities thrust upon him
by stepping into the huge shoes of his
father. Some men who had operated
with the old Commodore for years
said that William was a letter rail-
road man than his father. Many
shook their heads and doubted. So
far Mr.. Vanderbilt has exceeded pub
lie expectation. He has shown a
great deal of practical wisdom In the
last strike, proving that be has the
tact of one of his own bumpers-yield-
ing as well as striking. Mr.. Wander
bilt is q peculiar looking man. In
size and appearance he resembles
John Jacob Astor: his frame is Her
culean. He is very stout and seems
to be puffed up bodily. His hair is
sandy; his countenance fiorid, his
whiskers huge and of the English cut
and he would easily pass for man
who was born within sound of the
Bow Bells. He is man of few words
resolute in his opinions even to obsti-
macy, and through all his gifts runs a
streak Of caution and hesitancy. He
has an elegant mansion on Park Ave-
nue., in upper New York. He is very
domestic In his habits. Mrs. Wander
bilt is distinguished as one of the best
In the city. She per-
sonally superintends her own domes-
tic arrangements and knows how to

The Post, of San Francisco, Califor-
mia, is candid enough to say: we
make daily mention of the arrival of
immigrant trains from the East, but
we do not specify with equal minute
ness the departure OF disappointed
ones from the State. The reason why
Is this: We have no means of ascer-
tanning the fact, or strict regard for
truth would compel: US to chronicle
the departures as we'll as the arrivals.
But 1t may be safely averred that a
very considerable percentage of i'm
migrants from the East leave this

Home Life a Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago not a pound
of coal or cubic foot of Illuminating
gas had been burned in this country.
No iron stoves were used, and no con-
trivances for economizing heat were
employed until DIR. Franklin invented
the iron framed fireplace, which still
bears his name. All the cooking and
warming in town and country were
done by the aid of the fire kindled
upon the brick hearth or In the brick
oven. Pine knots or tallow candles
furnished the light for the long win
ter nights, and sanded floors supplied
the place of rugs and carpets. The
water used for household purposes
was drawn from deep wells by the
creaking sweep"
No form of pump was used In this
country, so far as we can learn, until
after the commencement of the pres
ent century. There were no friction
matches in those early days, by the
aid of which a fire could be speedily
kindled; and If the fire "went out"
upon the hearth over night, and the
tinder was so so damp that the spark
would not catch, the alternative re-
mained of wading through the snow
a mile or so, to borrow a brand OF a
neighbor.
Only one room in any house was
warm unless some one of the family
was Ill; In all the rest the temperature
was at zero during many nights In
the winter. The men and women Of a
hundred years ago undressed and went
to their beds In a temperature colder
than our modern barns and wood
sheds, and they never complained.
