NO TIME FOR ANYTHING.

"Thc great difficulty in this country
is, that wc have no time for anything.
The very walk of an American shows
that he is in hurry. An Englishman
buttons up his coat and gloves, and
goes TO business as deliberately as be
goes TO church. An American bust.
ness man flies after the car, struggling
with his coat-sleevcs as he runs, plung.
es in head-foremost, and plunges out
at tho end without regard to his neck.
Chief amongst our accidents stand
those which occur because people jump
upon flying trains, or after departing
boats. To wait ten minutes is some.
thing not to be thought OF. Dinner is
not eaten, il is swollowcd whole; and
when one comes to the desert, he finds
that the fruit was picked before it was
ripe.
Everything is hurried through,
from the building Of a house to the
curing of O ham. The women who
work on sewing machines stop before
they come to the end OF the seam. The
dress-maker sends home your dress
with basting-threads in it, and no loops
TO hang il up by.
"Therc IS none of the slow, sure
completeness of the old world about
anything, and even fortunes are made
in hurry, and lost in the same way.

CRIMINAL WASTE OF BUFFALO MEAT,
Fort Concho is situated on the brow
of a plateau, just above the junction Of
the middle, or main Concho and the
North Concho rivers. The post com.
mands an extensive view OF the coun-
try, and at a distance it presents the ap.
pearance Of miniature city. Within
few hundred yards of the post, on
the opposite side OF the North Concho,
is the village of San Angela. Besides
the trade from the post, much of which
is done by the merchants of San An.
gela, there rs head quarters for the
army of buffalo hunters during the
winter months, and acres of ground
are covered, even up to this time, with
buffalo hides, some in piles like. large
hay stacks, while great numbers are
spread out to dry, preparatory to being
shipped to San Antonio. 1t is ostima.
ted that over one thousand men were
engaged last winter in killing buffalo
for their hides in Tom Green county
alone, and that at least $4,000 hides
have beeu brought into San Angela
during that time. II is also believed
that 100000 buffalo hides have been
shipped during the winter and spring
from Fort Griffin. Two hundred thou.
sand is probably an under estimate of
the number of buffalo destroyed annu-
ally in Texas for their hides. The
flesh of these animals, which is superior
TO beef, and which is thus left TO rot
or to feed tho wolves and buzzards,
could il havo been availed of, would
have furnished an ample supply Of food
for the starving poor of our cities dur
ing the past winter Galveston Neirs.

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.

A curious discovery has lately been
made, while repairing the house former
ly occupied by the Jacobin Club during
the revolution, and known as the Hotel
dc Honore. The Club, which guided
the dcstinies Of the revolution during
some few years, had often boasted Of
ALLOWING the ambition of Robespierre
and other leaders to progress so far
and no fayther, and the members by
vote had passed q law which entitled
the majority TO exclude from any par
ticular SedHce any particular member
whose interests might lead him TO sway
the opinion of the club. Robespierre,
whose ambition had rendered him an
object Of suspicion, had often been
voted out of the assembly, and it has
been matter of surprise to the his
torian of the time, that he could so
long maintain his influence in spite of
the violence Of the opposition thus
permitted. The secret is now revealed.
A small room-a hiding-place in the
thickness of the wall-has just been
discovered, opening by trap-door in
to the very hall where the deliberations
were being carried on, and whence he
cc=id i;s.er 20 the measures tn ha
taken against him, and thus forearmed,
have power to defeat them. 1t is evil
dent that this hiding place must have
been occupied by Robespierre, and
when first entered by the workmen
traces Of his presence were still visible
in the Journal which lay upon the table,
and the writing paper, from which had
been torn small portion, as if for the
purpose of making a memorandum.
The only book which was found in the
place was volume of Florsin, open at
the second chapter of Claudine. 1t
was covered with snuff, which had evil
IDENTIFY been shaken from the readers
shirt-frill, and bore testimony TO the
truth OF history which records the
simplicity of the literary taste of
Robespierre. His presence seemed TO
still hang about the small space, as
though he had quilted it the moment
before; and, singular enough, the
marks of the feet, as though he had
recently ~trodden through the mud,
were quito visible on the tiles of which
the flooring was composed.-Pottr's

Tho Emperor Dom Pedro hadn't
patience enough when he visited Pom
pci recently. An excavation was, as
Is the custom, made for him nothing
was found, and after some hours ol
iruitless shovclling, the emperor, tired
out, departed, and tho workmen stop
ped, leaving one little corner untouch
ed. Afterwards there wore found in
that identical neglected corner three
lovely little silver vases, one covered
with repousse work, representing 0
combat Of Amazons. And II he had
waited five minutes longer hc might
have had them.

Tho settled expression Of detotermi-

of the dcntal-room door, turns quietly
around, and tip-tocs back through the
hallway, out doors again.

Human nature is indeed q curious
study. A boy may sing "Hold the
Fort" 80 swcetly on Sunday that the
very walls OF Zion tinglc with tho sa-
cred melody, and yet you wouldn't
recognize him on week days when he
comes out from swimming, and finds
out that some other boy has hopelcssly
knotted up his shirt sleeves and trous-
ers legs.

REN0VAT1NG PASTURE
LANDS.


A writer in the Country Gentlemen
says; al made an experiment with
nitrate Of soda and sulphate of lime on
o couple OF small pastures, using about
one hundred and twenty-five pounds
per acre Of the first, and one hundred
pounds OF the second. | have repeated
tho operation with half the quantity
this spring, and now show growth

quantity Of herbago, though not IN
height (of course) superior to ALL The
pastures last fall were iod down bare,
but today they carry grass enough to
shame the best blue grass fields in the
blue grass region, and ! have seen
many thousand acres there during the
present month. | feel | can safely re-
commend the use of these fertilizers
TO. dairymen whose pastures have be.
como so impoverished that they must
buy more land or sell off stock, and 10
those others who residing in thiclSly
settled neighborhoods, and near large
towns or cities, find the local acreage
in pasture lands diminishing" These
fertilizers can be obtained Of dealers
in chem in all cities The expense per
acre, as applied above, will be about
six dollars. 1t is a good plan to cx-
pertinent with various commercial fer
iilizers, as there is rapidly growing
interest in them and although there
is no guide that farmers can at present
follow with certainty OF success in
all cases, yet much practical knowl.
edge Of the effects Of these fertilizers
on every mans soil can be gained by
making experiments with them in
small quantities.
