4 CONSTANT r EADER.
BY DAN DGADBEAT.

The overworked scribe of the Nudr5He Gazette
sat wondering-monevleSs wight
If his office would ever be cleared OF Its debt
With the times deplorably tight
When the tread of old leather was heard on the
stair,
And stranger stepped into the room,
Who a ked, with the don't let me bother you
Which the bore is apt to assume
How are ye?'' The editor rose with a smile,
And pleasantly yielded his chair
Placed the visitors sadly. unbeautiful tile.
Which exhibited symptoms of wear,
On the top of the desk alongside of his own
A shocking cd plug by the way
And then asked in a rather obsequious tone:
lean we do anything for you to-day!
"Nol lest called to see yer the visitor said;
I'm friend to the newspaper man
Here he ran a red handkerchief over his head,
And accepted the editors fan

But YOU prai Sc me too highly by far;

And while reading it try this cigar.
BY the way 1 We melon laid up for treat;
I've been keeping it nestled in ice;
It's beauty, sir, tit for an angel TO eat
Now, perhaps, you Will relish sllceE
Then the stranger rolled up half dozen or
OF the choicest exchanges of all.
Helped himself to the fruit, threw the rinds on
the DOR
Or flung them at flies on the wall,
He assured his new friend that his pieces were

In a manner uncommony able"
As he wiped his red hands on the editors coat.

Said the scribe as the stranger arose:
That's a fact he replied; I'm Abimalech

You have heard of that name, suppose:

OFFICE OF
MADISON FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.

MADISON FIRE fN>URANCE MPANY.I
MADISON, Wis, July /, 1873. J
DEAR SIR: We have the pleasure Of
calling your attention to the prosperity
of this company for the first half Of
1873. Comparing the business with
that of 1876 and 1877, you will see. that
we have made good progress and in the
right direction. a... ......... ..,-.,
The receipts are in excess of ali ex-
penses and losses, Notwithstanding we
are carrying the old risks to their ex-
piration. The effect Of this example
to "clean up" is thus shown: qa
First half 1876 @
Losses. Amt at risk. Surplus.
.ss3osl4 so.g..s1s, s45 ,946 oo....s3s, 7sO So
First half lS77--.-,.... ......I ..t-.. ...-
Losses. Amt at risk. 81. Surplus.
S15,O4 81. S13 Oh, 343 90 . .S45 1913 81

U.s.. Losses. Amt at risk. Surplus.
$1O,356 IS. :. 50 1O0,244 co.. ...S52 76S 45
In getting rid of the old mutual bus
mess the amount at risk is being con-
stantly reduced: while the excess of
premiums above losses shows a better
class of work. But the true criterian
of strength IS surplus above liabilities.
Ours has increased from $38,73O .6S, in
1876, to 2,76S.45 in 1878. No COM
pany doing business in the state can
show more healthful condition. And
when it is remembered that the depos-
its with the state treasurer are always
kept sufficient to reinsure every risk
and pay every loss, with a surplus of
over $50, 100000, abundant protection to
the insured is guaranteed. sda sa.t

Gel .eRY.-Probably in no vegetable Guilt
vatF d has the variety so much to do with
SUI cess as celery. Our own experience and
JaE of our immediate neighbors, is that
nearly all OF the giant or tall growing kinds
are improbable 10 raise. Not only does
their culture entail twice the labor, but they
are almost always wanting in solidity and
in flavor. While some hundreds of acres OF
celery are now grown for the market of New
York, the kinds are mainly the half dwarf
and dwarf Sandringham, in the proportion
of four of the first to one of the second.
The Boston market variety has never bsen
favOrite for the New York market as its
tendency to throw up suckers or side shoots,
considered the merit of that variety in BoS
ton, makes il Objectionable here. Hoods
dwarf red is the best variety of celery in cul-
tivation, but the American public, with few
exceptions, will not use red celery, while IN
England it is highly valued, as it should be,
for it is not only much better favored than
the white sorts, but it keeps better, and
surely, when used as an ornamental vege-
table, as celery often is, its bright crimson
and white color make it more attractive
than the White.
TOMATOES March 5, were carefully
transplanted twice, and set out in open

among so many. Canada Victor was, by a
I majority of censors, judged the earliest and
I best though ConquerOr and New York Mar

nearly allied TO each other. Arlington, a
! valuable variety, but little later, is exceed
I ingy prolific, large and smooth, ana this
/ and Excelsior are the favorite varieties for

/ excellent qualities still leave it in the field.
/ Golden Trophy, beautiful yellow variety,

/ hope in any further improvement in earli-
ness of the tomato. We have made no
! advance on Keys Prolific, sent out seven or
