The Late Artemus Ward.

In repartee Browne had scarcely an
equal among the journalists of his time,
and his pen was held in wholesome fear
by members of the fraternity. He had
always ready answer for any that at
tackled him, and he always used his
power of ridicule in reply to his assail-
ants. One day he found neat package
ION his desk, which, on opening, he dis
covered was a jack-knife. A reporter of
a morning paper-a VIGOROUSLY homely
man-heard of it, and made paragraph
to the effect that Browne richly merited
the knife. That evening Browne retort-
ed by naming this person and saying:
He is the homeliest man in America.
He has broken five cameras in endeavor-
ing to get picture of himself to send
to the children of a bitter personal
enemy, maliciously intending to brighten
them to death. He has been offered a
good salary to stand up in corn-field
as scare-crow. He is compelled to get
up three times every night and rest his
face. In his counting days he was
utterly unsuccessful until he had pro-
cured a mask. He has gait like saw
horse, and when he walks the sidewalks
the very bricks recoil in horror"
Not content with this chastisement, in
the next issue, under the guise of a
special dispatch from Charleston, where
Ossawatomie Brown was on trial for
treason, he said:
The jury in the case of Ossawatomie
Brown, charged with murder and treas
on, brought in verdict of guilty at 10
o'clock this morning, and at IL o'clock
he was sentenced by Judge Barker. The
Judge, after dwelling with great force on
the enormity of the prisoners crime,
sentenced him to sleep one night aUith
- naming the rival reporter], and,
said the Judge, in trembling voice,
may God have mercy on your soul 7
The prisoner fell with an agonizing
shrek to the floor, and there was not a
dry eye in the vast concourse of spec
tators. An effort will be made to get
his sentence committed to hanging"
A writer who could use his pen with
such wit was dangerous person to at
tack, and his antagonists soon learned
to handle him with great circumspection.
The laugh was almost invariably turned
on themselves, and, no matter how care
fully the weapon was aimed, it usually
came back with the force and effect of a
boomerang.-Scribner's MONTHLY for
! October

be avoided. In union there is strength

be avoided. In union there Is strengtn.
So there is in smoking car.
There is an industry, my friends, that
seems to be entirely monopolized by one
or two counties in the southern part OF
the State, in which more money can be
made, according to the investment, than
in any other species of agriculture. i
allude to the raising of wolves, in order
to sell the scalps to the State. You de-
vote good deal of time and labor to
the raising of sheep, and what do you
get for it, The best sheep cannot lay
more than eight pounds of wool in a
season, and, even if you get 90 cents per
pound for it, you have not got any great
bonanza. Now, the State encourages
the raising of wolves by Offering a
bounty of SO for piece of skin off the
head of each wolf. 1t does not cost any
more to raise wolf than it does to
raise sheep, and, while sheep rarely
raise more than two lambs n year, "A
pair of good wolves are liable to raise
twenty young ones in the course OF a
year, if it is good year for wolves.
In addition to the encouragement Of
fered by the State, many counties give
as much more, so that one wolf scalp
will bring more money than five sheep.
You will readily see that our wise
Legislators are offering inducements to
you that you should be thankful for.
You can establish wolf orchard on
any farm, and, with pair of good
wolves to start on, there is millions in
it. The cultivation of the wolf is bound
b. lon1.,n. ,,,1 IN, ~ In
counties, as it has already become in
Grant and Crawford counties. The
scalp of wolf is legal tender anywhere.
They will live on any soil, and, since the
new process has been discovered which
causes hair to grow on q bald-headed
wolf, it is not impossible to grow two or
three scalps year on each wolf. If you
can grow three scalps q year on each
wolf, and get from the State and county
twenty dollars for each scalp, a small
flock of wolves is better than a large
flock of sheep. 1t will pay to raise
sheep simply as food for wolves. This
subject of wolf culture is receiving great
attention, and, as the editor of an agri-
cultural paper, L am constantly in re-
ceipt of letters asking where a good
article of wolves can be obtained for
seed have the address of an eminent
wolf culturist that 1 will furnish to any
farmer who desires to go into wolf cult
IRE. 1 would, however, warn you
against disreputable parties who are
raising a breed of dogs that so nearly
resemble the wolves that in many in
stances the State authorities have been
deceived into paying bounties on their
scalps. This is wrong and is almost
equal to passing a 90-cent dollar on
to an unsuspecting greenbacker. As
farmers we cannot be too careful about
engaging in any deception. Such con-
duct is on a par with placing stone in
crock of butter, or hiding boy,
weighing hundred pounds, in load
of hay, and selling him by the ton, as is
often done at Oshkosh.

An exchange speaks of the theory
that earthquakes are produced by cleo
tricity ~ new and novel, and makes it
the text of a column of righteousness.
Now, as matter of fact, this theory has
been held for score of years by local
scientists in California. The idea that
the waves of a molten mass in the inte-
rior of the earth produced earthquakes
by surging against the earth's crust did
not satisfactorily account for the phe-
nomena exhibited 10y these disturbances.
Men mt work in deep wells and shafts
experienced no shock, while their fellow
workmen on the surface felt repeated
pulsations.
Then it was found that earthquakes
were preceded by perturbations of the
atmosphere, which had marked effect
upon both man and dumb animals 1t
was supposed that electricity, from some
cause or other, gathered in unusual
quantities in certain localities, and that
the discharge, when the accumulation
forced an equilibrium, produced the
shock. The movements of tidal waves,
it was argued, strengthened the theory.
For how could the commotion of the
internal fires of the earth take up
mountains of water and roll them miles
and miles inland, without producing re-
suits on the bottom of the ocean very
different from those actually known.
Now of late years it is observed that
earthquakes are much less frequent and
much lighter than formerly in Califor-
mia, and it has been suggested in sup
port of the electrical theory that the iron
used on railroads has performed an i'm
portant Office in distributing the surface
stores of electricity, and thus prevented
the severe and frequent shocks of earlier
days. Perhaps this theory should be
laughed down without hearing, and
perhaps it has a germ of truth which
may develop into "A scientific explana-
ton of some of the most frightful and
terrible phenomena of nature.-Albany
Journal.
