SHE KNEW THE BEST.

"You see that hoss, don't you ~ caIt ed
out woman about forty years of age, as
she drove up to Grand River avenue
blacksmith shop yesterday.
The smithscame out and said that his
sight was good.
II want shoe on that right hind foot
right at once" she continued and she
jumped down and had the. horse almost
out of the wagon before the smith reached
the curbstone. She led the beast into the
shop, sat down on the bench and prepared
to take a smoke, and as the blacksmith took
down shoe she observed
'No fooling, now [ want that shoe to
stick to that foot for whole year You
can't impose on me cause I'm woman "
After the hoof had been prepared the
horse suddenly became restive, dancing
around and bothering the blacksmith so
that he could not proceed
"You don't seem to have had any ex-
perience with horses" remarked the wo-
man, as she rose up and laid her pipe aside.
81 know this beast from Dan'l to Berthesda,
and you jist Git back little
The smith retreated few feet and the
woman caught the horse by the bits, gave
him two hundred pound kick in the ribs
and yelled
"Whoa Charles Hemy-git around
there-stand over and take that-and this
and some more Now come up and toe
the mark
Charles Henry kicked the anvil off the
block as she Kicked his ribs, but she kicked
the hardest, and when the blacksmith stuck
his head into the shop, the horse was hall
way over a bench, but as quiet as lamb.
"Now proceed, said the woman, as she
picked up her pipe. "When hoss goes
to foolin' around me and aching for row,
he's laying up a sorrow for his gray hairs. y

Farms and Wages in California.

The San Francisco Alta says "Our
attention has been called to the members
of farms and of agriculturists or persons
engaged in farm labor in the Union and in
California, and we find that though the
farms have on the average three times as
many acres in this State, there are rela,
lively fewer laborers to the farm. The
nation has 2,659,000 farms and 5,922, 600
farmers, while our State has $4,000 farms
and $4,000 farmers. Ohio, Connecticut
and Nebraska have about the same proper
ton as California, or two agricuturists for
each farm; while New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois have three for two farms, and
Alabama and Georgia have four for one
farm. The larger average size of the Cali
fornia farms is caused by the fact that
100000 acres out Of 100000 acres in
closed are used for pastures of wild grass;
and that on account of the dry character
aud light, clean soil of most of the farms,
man can cultivate larger area than in
the moist, weedy and heavy soils of the
Atlantic States There has been no not
able change in the rate of California for
several years. Mechanics get from 81 to
So per day unskilled white male laborers,
from 81 to So and Cinnamon from 60
cents to 81, without board Masons, plas-
ters and plumbers receive from 81 to So /;
carpenters, blacksmiths and Wagon makers,
from So to 81 servant girls for general
housework, SIS to S25 farm laborers, from
S25 to $50 in winter and $50 to $50 in
summer, per month, with board. The same
work is done for half SO much on the Allan
tic slope and Australia, and one-third in
Europe, and provisions generally are cheap
er in California.

CREMATION IN GEORGIA.
From the Auqusta Consfitutionatist.

From the Augusta Constitutionatist
In Augusta, on Saturday evening last,
the body of man who died on the Sd ult
Atlanta, was cremated under the direction
of "The Oriental Order of Humanity" )"
The coffin, handsome rosewood, upon
which was engraved upon silver plate,
"William III. Suppus, age, ~ died Novem-
Der 4th, 1876, was placed upon the pile,
and the order was then gathered in a cir
Gle, solemn, grand and peculiar, around the
mortal remains Of the deceased brother.
After the singular prayer of the order had
been delivered by the Junior Friar, the
torch was solemnly and deliberately applied
to the pile, and at once the flames leaped
upward.
The coffin was soon enveloped IN flames
and thousands saw what had never been
seen here before, human body eremated.
Balconies, windows, housetops, trees, avn
ing, to say nothing of the living mass that
thronged the street, were filled to witness
the proceeding. While the fire was lap
ping in angry fury the body of this great
man, the Friar delivered in the peculiar
language of the order, a most touching ora
ton.
Soon the coffin began to crumble, and a
ghastly spectacle was presented to the eye.
The body, blackened, burning, kissing,
smoking, was clearly visible, and as
the strong odors filled the air, the cries and
shrieks of the men, women and children,
were heard rending the air on all sides.
After the funeral fires had burned down,
all that was mortal of w. B. Suppus was
gathered in the urn by the "Most Worthy
Keeper of the Sacred Relics" and the So
ciety, headed by the band, playing the drge
specially written for the occasion, entitled,
"He has gone to his long, long home, un-
soaked by water" returned to the hut
where the ashes were deposited in the vault.
Then the society dispersed.

A WONDERFUL FISH.

The Scientific American gives the follow
ing account Of peculiar species of fish,
heretofore comparatively unknown TO ua-
turalists "Mr Gillett, of Martin, Oillett
& Co., of Baltimore, Nd, has just returned
from Japan, bringing with him beautiful
and rare fish, never before seen in this
country, and which he has kindly loaned
to the New York Aquarium. The peculiar
features are several brilliant colors aud
three separate and distinct tails, all of which
the japanese claim are the result of many
and successful years of the most careful
breeding. A number of attempts have been
made to introduce this fish into American
waters, but this is the only instance of sue
cess. A tank, suspended ike a compass,
to avoid the ships motion, was especially
constructed, and then, notwithstanding the
greatest care, attention, and constant watch
ing, out of eighty-eight only seven survived
the journey. The remaining six that Mr..
Gillett has have spawned, resulting in fifty
young fry, which exhibit all the peculiar
ties Of the originals 1t is Mr.. Gillett's in
tention, as soon as he has sufficient stock,
to give some of them to persons who will
endeavor to raise them The fish loaned
to the aquarium is magnificent specimen,
and exhibits all the several beautiful colors
in perfection
