The Western Farm journal in cvm-
menting on the above topic says:
Diversified farming holds out induce
ments, and it should be the aim of men
to cast their hopes upon such lines of
crop and stock raising as they can master.
To take hold of anything that they are
not calculated for by training or taste, es-
pecially the latter, is 10 take hold of it to
fail utterly in the practice of it. Horace
Greeley once wrote of man whom he
came across tilling potatoes. lie had ac-
quired fame in the growing of that useful
root; his acres turned out more and bet
ter potatoes than any other mans acres
anywhere. This man Greeley described
as having a little bullet head, with ap-
parently not talent as big as q grain of
mustard seed for any other calling, or for
raising any other crop; but in growing
this crop he was an eminent success.
The lesson we draw from this, is that if
man has no taste or capacity for more
than one line of farming, and he knows
what that line is, he had better follow it.
For him to diversity, is only another
name for getting into labyrinth. He will
be classed with the man we hear of, who
was said to have too many irons in the
fire, and some of his ventures viii fall. Ii
the taste runs to raising corn and feeding
hogs, than a man can devote his whole
farm 10 this industry, and If adapted to it

crushed to death by the front wall of his
building. Thomas Watkins, his brother,
ran for the street. He saw the falling
wall and witnessed the fate of hisbrother.
He turned again, when the whole build
ing fell in. Down To the cellar he went,
amidst beams and stones. Some lucky
providence formed sort-of rude arch OF
the debris above him, and saved him from
instant death lie was pressed by the
debris and was in darkness. Tic became
unconscious, and an hour later was
literally sawed out ofthe ruins, more dead
than alive, and to-right lies in critical
conditions. The body of poor George Wat
kins, crushed beyond recognition, was
taken out in the early evening. Mr.. Wat
kins was a wealthy and leading citizen,
and an Alderman. The next building, a
large double two story brick, was on the
corner and occupied by Kencipp & Bid
div. 1t was in the furry of the cyclone
and although solid and seemingly storm
proof it melted like sand before water
When ourrcportcr arrived 100 men were
at work on the ruins. Several farmers
had sought shelter in a building and all
were not accounted for. Two bodies had
been taken out. They were man9led and
crushed
One was William Newkirk, an old
farmer, married, living three miles north
in the country. He had been sitting in
the rear of the store, and went down to
death where he sat. james Goodrich q

down beneath the mass to the cellar, and
never breathed again. \ little 6-year-old
school boy, George Higbee, running
wild up Fourth street, was taken by the
cyclone and hurled against the north
wall of the building. 1t fell at the instant
and crushed out his Young life. This
corner was particularly fatal, and shared
better than any other point. Mrs George

from the wagon TO the middle of the

tanned broken leg. Her condition is
critical. The horse was taken up ten feet,
dashed to the earth and killed. Stranger
than all. the seat of the wagon was taken
up by the cyclone and hurled backward
upou its track eighty feet, being found in
the rear of a wrecked building. Another
case of the cyclone takingup articles, and,
after whirling them through the air in
circles, casting them off by centrifugal
force at All points Of the circle, is that Qf

weighing 800 pounds, was found on the
opposite side of Main street, sixty feet, in

ALittle story.

The Emperor Williams favoritc mare
which he rode at the battle of Sadowa
died a short time ago, and in connection
with the event, this story is related. Dur
ing the battle, the King, accompanied by
Prince Bismarck, repeatedly placed him
self in great DANCE from the shells whis-
zing around. In vain Prince Bismarck
urged his king not to expose himself so.
But relates the Prince, "when His
Majesty had ordered the cavalry to adj
vance at Lipa, and the shells came thicker
tilan ever ventured TO expostulate afresh,
and said, : if your Majesty has no pity
for yourself, at any rate have some for
your minister for whom your faithful peo-
pie will hold you responsible The King
then gave me his hand and replied, Well,
Bismarck, now let US ride on So saying
His Majesty turned and cantered away
as slowly as though riding along the
Linden. That made me wild, and riding
up behind him, gave Miss Sadewa a
slight kick that considerably hurried her
movements. The King looked round sur
prised, and fancy haG some slight sus

Tortured InnOeents.

From the New York Times.
An extraordinary instance OF hearticss
cruelty on the part of mother toward
her little children was made public in
Hoboken, Nj, yesterday. On the COM
plant of Thomas LaWton. of No. li2
second street, who lives in the same house
with the unnatural woman, Yrs. Cecilia
Gibson was arrested and brought before
Recorder McDonough to answer to a
charge of inhuman treatment. She was
confronted in court by her two little girls
aged t2 and s years, whose bodies bore
countless marks of violent treatment. The
elder girl told a pitiful story to the re-
cordef, and her appearance strongly sub
stantiated her words. She said that ever
since she could remember her mother had
been in the habit of treating her IN the
most merciless manner without any pre-
vocation. Almost every day she was sub
iected to cruel beatings with club, and
latterly her mother had on several oc-
casions tied clothes-line about her neck
so tightly that she was in danger OF suf-
location. The girls neck was raw from
the friction of the rope, and her arms and
shoulders were black and blue from the

A Stern Warning.

Among the officers of the brilliant court
OF the grand monarch of France Louis
XIV, was the Marquis Hugh de Nerni-
court This marquis was of an ancient
family. very wealthy. and had proved
himself brave and efficient captain on
more than one hard fought field. In his
sober moments, though inclined to be
naughty and oyerbearing, he could yet be
gentleman; but when the fumes of the
wine cup had seized his brain, which was
far too often the case, he was turbulent
and quarreIsome, and his duels were nu-
merous. 50 that in time it came To pass
that his companions feared and dreaded
him. Feeling secure in his lordly estate,
his high nobility exempting him from
certain penalties which might have rested
upon one of lower degree, he pursued his
reckless and inebriatc course for a time
unchecked.
at length in hostile encounter, the
marquis slew gentleman Of the royal
guard, whose friends made much COM
plant De VernicOurt appeared before
the king, and pleaded in extenuation that
he was much heated at the time, and
begged the royal pardon. The pardon
was granted, with the addition Of q ae-
we're reprimand, and caution for the !u-
turc. But the caution availed little Ere
long afferward the troublesome marquis
quarrelcd with gentleman of the car
dinal's household, the result Of which was
another fatal sword thrust.
Once more the nobleman WIS sum
moned before the king, and his cd ex-
cuse was offered. and again nc implored
the royal pardon.
Hugh de Vernicourt, said Louis,
thou art pardoned.
The marquis would have expressed his
thanks. but the king stopped him.
Hold, Sir Hugh. We wish not for
thy thanks; for know that thou art not
the ono to whom we have extended our
ROYAL pardon. We have caused pardon
to be prepared in blank, and have placed
it in the hands of our trusty minister of
police. Ii is for the man who shall kill
thee
The caution proved sufficient to the end
desired.

as the man whom Mr.. Greeley found was
his speciality, then he may, by combining
himself to this line Of farming, make
money. Some men succeed with grass
and steers, and have no taste for any other
kind of farming. But to the man who
has talent and taste for general farming
and stock growing, he can utilize every
acre and every product grown upon the
farm, and always have something to turn
of to meet the needs of every month in
the year"
