The great witchfiHder did;as he
was bid, and pronounced the apple
dumping the chiefest work of Sa-
tan he had ever seen: not only
witcherRft, but an evil miracle, so
to speak.
That night poor little Mistress
Anne was arrested and cast into
prison. Her mether-in-law, as good
cook as there was in Salem, had
declared that she had done what
was impossible for any cook. Grave
elders had opened the remaining
thought of halving and coring it.
AS the Evil One had helped her by
fire, fire was TO be her death.
The stake was set, fagots were
ready, but before she was burnt
some kind of trial must be gone
through. The mother-in-law was
witness.
The husband was on the spot,
tears in his eyes, and q great basket
on his arm and Anne was brought
from her prison, to confront the
fierce men who were only too anx-
iOus to doom her to death. Accor-
ding to their laws, she might speak
in her own defense, If she had any.
thing to say. The charge was made,
evidence given, the dumping ex-
hibited. Then up rose Mistress
Anne, white and trembling.

Then stepped forward her hus-
band, Master Grateful-all-your-days
POpkins. He set before her the
basket, and took from thence a box
of flour, some butter, a roIling-pin
and pasteboard, four apples, a pan
of sugar, spoon, and a nutmeg. In
the court room, as in all rooms that
needed warming at that day, was
an open fire; over this he placed
the pot, and kneeling on the floor,
Mistress Anne mixed and rolled out
paste. Then pairing the apples
she entelded each in a white sheet,
and dented the edges of the lap in
the paste, until it was invisible {;
then the pot of water. boiling and
bubbling, she dropped them in.
'Is there witchcraft in this ?" she
asked.
sit is all deceit. They would
boil out!" cried the mother-in-law.
"We will wait and see," cried the
Judges. They waited.
An hour after, all four sat about q
table eating the delicious dump
lings, over which Anne poured a
savory sauce, and each declared
that none but good arts had been
used in the connection of Mistress
Anne's excellent apple dumplings.
So she was not burnt for a witch,
after all /; and shortly after, Mrs.
POpkina, the elder, went back to
England. Whatever other folks
said,. she declared she knew that
her dsughter-in-law was a witch
How else had her son been brought
to marry her? And the day that
she sailed away, was the first day
of her welded life that little Mis-
treas Anne had ever felt that heI
husband's name of Grateful-all-
your-days Popkins really belonged
TO them.

The EnPOria Normal ScOOl.
Eldorado Times.

Under the plea of retrenchment
and reform great damage has been
done by those whose only motive
is to obtain some little cheap
notoreity by making themselves
their special champions.
That the EmpOria Normal
School, and through it the whole
State, has suffered from this
cause, there is not the slightest
shadow of q doubt. We trust
the present Legislature will make
ample provisions for the support
all our State Institutions of
learning. There is not one of
them more worthy of support
than that institution. 1t has a
mission to ill which none other
can.
The Agricultural College, at
Manhattan, State University at
Lawrence, and the Normal School
at Leavenworth, can none of them
supply the want which the EN-
pOria school was inteded to sup
ply.
A teacher may be entirely snc-
cessful in teaching q district
school and entirely fail in a grad
ed school. Each position re-
quires special preparation on the
part of the teacher if the bes
results are to be obtained In no
place can this special preparation
be obtained except in our Normal
Schools.
We do not deem it necessary at
this time to enter into an argu-
ment to show that an apprentice
ship is necessary to obtain pro-
ficiency in the art of teaching
one of the highest of arts.
The most enlightened nations of
Europe and our own county,
north of Mason and Dixon's line,
oncde it. We trust our law
givers will not be moved by short
sighted policy of retrenchment to
cripple our educational work.
Demagogues legislate for
present popularity and their fame
dies with them. Statesman for
the present and future good of
their race and their fame is per-
email.

The Corse and Miller dispatches to

equally significant. It is now
evident that from the moment
Mr.. Tilden discovered that he
needed one vote, and that q chance
existed of obtaining that vote
from Oregon, no means were left
untried to secure it. We have
not only glimpses of the truth,
but they tell of the corrupt use
of money at every stage OF the
business. They are conducive,
too, as to the direct action Of Mr..
Tilden in the matter. He and his
nephew were the senders Or the
recipients of every suspicious
message. They directed a base
conspiracy from New York, and
they transmitted the money to rend

Big sea Serpent.

The big fish story has been
sworn to. CAPTAIN George
Drevar, of the bark Pauline,
which arrived three weeks ago
in the Mersey from Akyah, after
a voyage of twenty months, APP
peared at Liverpool police court
and expressed a desire that him
self, officers and half of the crew
should make an affidavit as to the
truth of their having seen the
great sea serpent. Captain Dre-
var informed the magistrate that
he had seen it on three differnt
occasions, and it had evidently
followed the ship, which, owing
to a broad white streak around it,
might have been mistaken by the
sea serpent for another of its
kind. Each time they saw the
monster it WAS catching and
crushing whales in Its coils. The
captain futher mentioned that he
had been invited by several
scientific societies in London to
relate to them what he had seen
of the fabulous creature. The
aff1davits were made.-New York

While Gen. Jewell was our
Minister in Russia he visited the
tanneries of that country, and
found out the secret of the Russia
leather, beloved of book devotes.
The secret is the result of the
use of birch bark tar with which
the skins are dressed in place of
tallow and grease, the latter be-
ing SO largely used as food
among the lower classes. This tar,
which is carefully saved as it
exudes from the wood when burn
ed, was first used as a substitute
for wheel grease in Russia, as it
is to this day, and then for the
nlilng and dressing of skins. By
a system of CAREFUL inquiry and
literally following his nose dur
ing his visits to some of the great

shops, Mr.. Jewell found this COM
pound in a great kettle ready for
use, and thus the mystery was
solved. It is not expensive,
costing about $40 q barrel, and
he Immediately ordered ten bar
rels, and sent them to various
leading leather manufactures in
this country with instructions,
and the result is that genuine
Russia leather goods are now
made In America, and doubtless
will soon be sold nearly so per
cent. below former prices.-New
