THE MAN FROM BOsTON.-This is the
way she told the story to the Chief of
Police, as she sat on the edge of chair
and wiped her nose twice every time she
wiped her eyes once. She began:

street east, sir, and week ago last night
sir, good looking man rang the bell and
said he liked the cosy look of my house,
sir. He wanted to know if was near
sighted, and when | said yes he said he'd
take board for week. He said he was
looking up an estate, sir, and that he
lived in Boston"
"Looking up an estate" repeated the
Chief, as he wrote it down.
"Well, sir, didn't ask for any money
in advance, as he was such gentleman,
but yesterday he handed me SEQ bill
and gave him back $l4. l went down
to the store and they said the bill was
a counterfeit. told the man so when l
got home, and he got mad in second.

he took the bill. Il will go down there
and make the sycophants grovel in the
dust for this 7 That about what he said,
sir, as he got on his over coat, sir"
"And he went9" queried the Chief.
"He did, sir, and he hasn't returned,
sir, and the satchel went with him, sir,
and the sycophant here before you, sir,
has been swindled out Of $l4 and a
weeks board. Doesn't it look that way
to you, sir?"
And the Chief confessed that it did

SALT FOR CABBAGE.-A New Jersey
gardener considers salt necessary to the
development of cabbage, especially in
places far from the coast. He finds them
more crisp, of better flavor and to keep
better when salt is used than without.
He uses it as follows:-A few days after
setting out the plants, and when they are
damp, either after a rain, or when the
dew is on, take small dish of fine
salt, and walking among the rows,
sprinkle pinch OF salt on the centre Of
each plant. When the leaves begin to
grow I repeat the sailing, and when the
centre of the leaves begin to form the
head apply salt again, scattering it over
the leaves. After this l look them over
occasionally and if find plants thar do
not head well or appear diseased, l
sprinkle the salt over freely. This will
save all such plants. A quart of salt is
sufficient for five hundred plants in q
season, although more can be used with
safety.-Fru;t Recorder.

The Fowl Business.

To carry on the business successfully
requires patience and perseverance. 1t is
about the best paying business at the
present time. BY good care and judg-
ment it will pay from three to five hun
dred per cent. profit.
Anybody that will house, feed and pro-
vide wei! for three or four hundred hens,
can clear from twelve to fifteen hundred
dollars annually. We have proved the
above, and know whereof we speak. 1t
don't make so much difference about the
breed as it does the care they receive.
To succeed the best requires person
that has natural love for it, Hens re-
quire plenty of room, in the city as we'll
as the country. 1t is not more than half
as profitable to keep them in the city,
for the reason that they have to be con-
fined in small place, fed artiticially in
stead of naturally. Not every locality is
tit to keep them in.
A sandy soil they delight in, where
they can keep themselves free from ver-
min, which is one of the greatest draw
backs in keeping poultry probably.
A great many men keep hens as they
keep horses and cows; they let them take
cause they don't pay. Some men are no
more fit to care for fowls than those are
who undertake to carry on farm by starry
ing the soil. Women can succeed better
than men.
We venture to say that to invest one
thousand dollars in fowls will return
three thousand clear profit, everything
considered. 1t is not laborious occupa-
ton; therefore, a person out of health
could do well. A great many who have
gone into the business have failed for the
reason that they did not give it the atten-
ton it requires. One person out of ten
may make it pay. q. A. HOsACK.

n NEXT SENATE.

Now that the various State elections Tor
the year are over the complexion OF the
limited States Senate in 1879 can Be- ap-
p~ro1imsisly forotold. The Senators to
be displaced or rs-ssatsd are: Spencer
Of Alabama. Dorsey Of Arkansas. Ssr-
gent Of California. Barnum Of Connec-
tieut, Conovor Of Florida, Gordon OF
Georgia. oglssby Of Illinois. Voorhees,

Hampshire. Conklipg Of New York. Msr-
rimon Of North Carolina. Matthews OF
Ohio, Mitchell Of Oregon. Cam sron Of
Pennsylvania. Patterson Of South Caro-
lima. and Morrill, OF Vermont. The new
Senate will therefore have tvsnty-eAs
members Who are to be appointed at
some time between now and the 9TH Of
March, 1879. OF the members whose
terms expire ct that time. fourteen are

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--To further
the operations of the government in
afording protection to the extensive
seaboard and frontier of Texas, q large
number of capitalists of that section
have subscribed literally for the con-
,truction of military and commercial
highway to extend from Galveston
iong the coast 10 Rio Grand City, op-
posite Camargo, Mexico. ". It is alleged
hat such Il road would afford far more
lmple means for defense than forts or
Military posts, by enabling troops to be
tIlaced at any point along the seaboard
at any time, and also to furnish quick
transportation to troops and supplies
TO the most available and commanding
point on the Mexican border. Repre-.
sentatives of this project are now here
for the purpose Of obtaining Congress
sional aid to the extent of $4,000 or 80
600 per mile. the people OF Texas agree
ing to furnish the remainder of the
money required to construct and equip
the road. The argument In favor Of
this subsidy is that Congress can we'll
afford to do this in view of the present
and troubles on the Mex
lcan border IS. under the circumstances,
such road would prove OF advantage to
the government in the transportation
of troops and supplies, and save mil
lions of dollars otherwise annually re-
luired to maintain distant and isolated
posts along the frontier, which. in re-
llity. afford little or no protection. The
immense advantages that accrue to the
government will be glowingly described
o Congressional committees by the se-
tuctive agents of this new scheme of
peculation.
