weeks. When he returned he passed
his subscription book over to bis part

with sums set opposite amounting to
some $500. All the subscriptions
were marked "paid." The partner
was rejoiced, and told Lovejoy how
timely the money would be. "What

reply. "That money!" said Lovejoy

Now comes the mystery. When the
lady was set down ~ her door the wild
over, the bachelor and the two young
men each claimed to be her true and
lawful husband. None OF the crowd
could say who was the lucky man, the
minister was at sea and the bride her
self seemed to have doubts. The Wild
over was the man Of her choice, but in
the confusion he could have been hus-
tied aside, and he did affirm that an ut
tempt was made TO choke him and get
him out Of the barn. The bachelor
vowed that she had promised 70 marry
him, IS also did both young men, and
each one was sure that he held the
widows plump hand and was legally
married TO her. The four men had =
tight but that didn't mend matters.

The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1877-04-13

Perkins, a San Francisco broker,
bought two of Professor Bells telephones,
and made connection between his office
and the parlor. He thought it would be
a pleasant thing TO converse with his
wife when business was slack, TO inform
her when he would 20 to dinner, and to
learn how often hisyoungest son fell down
the cellar stairs during the day. One
dav he was conversing to his wife about
a new bonnet, when broker came in to
ask about some stock He telephoned
to his wife that he was busy, and
without severing connection with the in
strument turned TO the broker and
opened negotiations for the purchase OF
Julia, Lady Byron and other stocks.
Mrs. Perkins, at the other end of the
line, listened intently, and fnally caught
her husbands words: "Tll take Julia
at six-thirty.' Her suspicious were
aroused; there was a woman in the case /;
she burst into an animated soliloquy,
which the faithful telephone carried TO
the ears of her husband and his custom
er. "Ill Julia him-wretch-vill
married fifteen years-where's my rub
bers?-just wait till / get hold of him. p"
These words, together with miscellaneous
tokens of confusion and racket, denoted
active preparations for sortie upon his
office. Perkins broke off his stock nego-
tiations and went home to appease his
wife. The instruments were subse
quently removed.

A RTSsI4N CHOWD.

Every crowd has physiognomy and a
character of its own, and after experience
of an English or Irish crowd, one is
rather pleased witha Russian one. Not
that it Is particularly clean or savOry,
but it is 50 extremely good natured and
well behaved. There is very little push
ing or elbowing. Every one is courteous
to his neighbors, and you are sure not TO
see any acts of brutality or to incur any
danger in mixing in it. Smiling, good
natured faces are everywhere, no matter
what the rank or position, for good hu-
NOR is indeed the chief Russian virtue.
And then such curious mixture OF
people in such crowd merchants
with long dark blue Caftans, reaching TO

Drafting Grape Zines.

Now is the time to graft grape vines,
just when the leaves are beginning to
start on the vines to be grated. Cut
your gratis into lengths OF from two to
four buds each. Dig the earth away
from the roots of the vine to be grated
eight or ten inches deep; saw off the tap
or main root of the vine FIVE or six inches
below the surface Of the ground split
the end Of the roots left in the ground
whittle the butt end of your graft to the
form of wedge and insert it in the cleft
or split in the root in such manner
that the interstice between the bark and
wood shall join evenly together on the
side OF the graft and the root. Fill up
the hole, pack the fine, soft earth with
your hands carefully around the grated
place, and leaving single bud of the
graft just above the surface of the
ground.
