A Dead Mans Order.

The New Orleans Republican
tells this wicked story: A sugar.
maker, who might as well be call
ed Onesimus Smith as any thing
else, died recently in one of our
country parishes. He was not
long i'll, and the day before be
died be had ordered a bill of goods
through his commission merchant
in New Orleans. The news of
the mans death flew on the wings
of wire, but the requisition for
supplies came along on a slow
steamboat way; and arrived two
or three days afterward. A por.
tion Of the order was sont 10 a
wholesale drug house for an artic
lie used largely il sugar making.
1t was we'll managed drug house,
and its order clerk below was in
the habit of communicating
through a speaking tube with the
book-keeper above before filing
an order, the object cf this shoot
ing of whispers back and forth
through the tin communication
being TO ascertain if the person
ordering goods was entitled to
credit. In the case we refer to
the order clerk shouted up,
SLOWS account of Onesimus
Smith p and the information was
slid down, Accounts o K, but
we've advices that Smiths dead"
"That's all right" said the man
below; she's sent for ten barrels
OF sulphur"

Traffic in New England
Ferns.
(FrOm the Springfield Republican. }

(FrOm the Springfield Republican,
Among the new industries of
the last few years is the collec-
tion and sale of the creeping ferns
so common in our New England
woods, but entirely unknown be-
yond the Alleghanies; until last
year, unknown beyond the Hud-
son. This business originated at
Greenfield, where it is now car.
ried on extensively, and was be-
gun here about four years ago.
1t is now in the hands of E W
Clarke and MielIez & Co., who
sell many thousand dollars worth
annually. But few punches were
sold al first; but as the demand
has steadily increased, the woods
east and southeast Of Springfield,
in Longmeadow, Wilbraham and
Somers, have been carefully CLEAN
ed. Often the value Of the ferns
growing on single acre of wood
land will exceed that Of an acre
Of corn; and wood lots have been
bought at high prices solely to
control the fern trade.
The season for gathering these
ferns begins about the middle of
August and lasts till late in the
autumn. Originally only fresh
ferns were sold, and those largely
for Christmas decorations, but the
trade in the pressed ferns, is now
by far the largest part of the bus,
iness, and gives employment to
number of hands. One dealer in
this city keeps about twelve girls
at work pressing. A dozen ferns |
are pressed in one "string," and
one New York house has ordered
10000 strings. The pressed ferns
are sent all over the United States
and Canada, many going to Cali
fornia. They are used mainly
for wall decorations. and the la
dies will doubtless be surprised to
learn that their western sisters
often pay several dollars for ferns
like those which can often be OBJ
tanned hereabouts during an after
moons drive. The native fern, |
like the native American, resists
all attempts at civilization, and is
an entire failure as a house plant.

A party of converts stood at the
chancel rail in Sandusky church
ready to be made members. One
was a girl who had been regard
ed as the belle OF the place. She
interrupted the ceremony by say
ing that she desired to make
confession. She knew that she
had been looked on as a good girl,
but she wasn't. She was guilty
of a dreadful sin, Of which she
had not even been suspected This
little speech excited the curiosi-
ty of the congregation to a high
degree. She then said that she
had been married a year; that
the ceremony had been regularly
but privately performed, and that
she had kept the fact secret be-
cause she was not ready to fore
go the fun Of going into society
as an artless, unfettered maiden.
The husband stepped forward and
corroborated his wife's story.
They went to housekeeping on the
following day.

At length the major called out:
'I'll give fifty pounds to any
one who will save my dog;;"
and soon afterward a boat which
lay at some little distance pulled
upto the rescue. en,then, ,how-
ever, it was only by striking
Captain on the head with the
oars that he could be forced to
release his victim, which was
taken into the boat quite sense
less from exhaustion and suf-
location, and was with difficulty
brought to itself agair. Cap
tain on the other hand, swan in
triumph to the shore, amid the
plaudits of the spectators, who
shared, in sympathy at least,
his well-earned honors of re-
yenge.

Five converts were immersed
in the Schuylkill, near Green
Tree, Penn, on Sunday last by
the Rev. Jacob Gotwals, Dunkard
minister. The water was very
cold, but the current was so swift
that no ice had formed where the
ceremony was performed. In ac-
cordance with the Dunkard ritual
each convert was immersed three
