The Department OF Agriculture.
Letter to Boston Journal


1t is refreshing to leave the capitol
with its wranglings and its intrigues, on
one of these delightful spring after
moons. and to saunter down through
the botanic garden and the Smithsonian
grounds to the terraces and slopes which
surround the department of agriculture.
There is an atfluence Of beauty in the
varied tints and forms of the trees and
in the harmonies and contrasts Of the
masses of bright-leaved plants and gay
flowers. Then there are these conser-
vatories and greenhouses, in which
thousands of useful plants. shrubs and
vines are being propagated for general
distribution, and one glass house is de-
voted to the starting OF the tea plant.
About twenty-five years ago DIR. Junius
Smith. native of Massachusetts. who
resided at Greenville, South Carolina,

Purchasing u Husband.

A widow, or something of that kind,
out in Armstrong county, n few months
ago. tried the experiment of purchasing
husband. She looked over the ground
with rs much wisdom as she had, and
finally paid $40, 900 for one. Anybody
would suppose that ut this price the
woman would have secured very fair
sample of man, but the purchase seems
to have been miserable failure. The
fellow got his $4,000 and gathered to-
gether some other loose property be-
longing to the widow and some Of the
neighbors, after which he went to some
portion of the country now unknown.
The woman was most disgracefully
swindled in every particular. She
should have known better than to buy
an Armstrong county man, if they are
held ut SO, 900 each, when she could
have gone to Harrisburg and bought
half of the Pennsylvania legislature for
II quarter Of the sum, in which event
she would have had something left
after her husbands had absconded. 1t
isn't probable that she would have Sc
cured a much better article of man, but
she wouldn't have been so badly taken
in. She must read the newspapers with
more care, and learn that men and
things are getting down to hard pan,
and men in particular sell much cheaper
than they did few years ago. She
could have bought congressman for a
thousand, and had Mt least no worse eX-
perience with him. But the poor thing
is doubtless convinced Of her rashness
by this time, and has learned lesson
in the matter Of buying husbands at
fabulous prices which she will never

The Big AuiAy."
Burlington Hawkeye.

The dust blows out of the Missouri
river. 1t is the only river in the world
where the dust blows in great columns
out ofthe river bed. The catfish come
up to the surface to sneeze. From the
great wide-stretching sandbars on the
Kansas shore great columns of dust and
sand, about 9, 900 feet high, come whirl.
ing and sweeping across the river and
hide the town, and sweep through the
train and make everything so dry and
gritty that man can light match on
the roof his mouth. The Missouri
is composed of six parts of sand and
mud and four parts of water. When
the wind blows very hard it dries TIE
surface of the river and blows it away
in clouds of dust. 1t is just dreadful.
The natural color of the river is seal
brown. but when it rains for two or
three days at time and gets the river
pretty wet, it changes to a heavy iron
gray. A long rain will make the river
so thin it can easily be poured from one
vessel into another, like Il cocktail.
When it is ordinarily dry, however, it
has to be stirred with stick, before you
can pour it out of anything. 1t has a
current Of about twenty-nine miles an
hour, and perhaps the largest acreage
of sand-bars to the square inch that was
ever planted. Steamboats, run down the
Missouri river. So do newspaper cor
respondents. But if the river is not fair
to look upon, there is some of the grand
est country on either side of it the sun
ever shown upon. How such a river
come to run through such a paradise is
more than can understand.
