romantic History OF white Girl
VINO Illus Bcen RAISED and Educated
ny Coiorsd Poster Parents.
Near the line OF the San Jaolnto
street railway, on tho Central railroad,
IN this city. there lives u white girl
with u colored family, whose history
IL remarkably romantic. According
to the story told by her sable foster
father, and the writings he produces
toprove the same, the girl Is the lie.
Ultimate offspring OF parties OF tho
highest social standing near Hick-
man, Kentucky, each Of whom were
wealthy. One night, after he and hia
family had retired to rest, he war
awakened by the cry OF an infant and
Knocking at the door, and on OPEN
ing II found white baby In basket
on the step, with note pinned TO II,
telling him to care for 1t, and that no
In turn would be cared for pecuniarlly.
Through confederation he took the
child In and cared for Il. He had
children OF his own, but the heart OF
the black man was touched, and he
determined TO rear the child as his
own and be true to 1t. The parents Of
the child had never, In any way made
themselves known otherwise than In
the note above mentioned, and the
negro had become to regard IL
as one of his own children. On
the fifth birthday Of the ad0ped
child woman Of elegant family and
character appeared and demanded the
II, claiming that she had paid
promptly for its maintenance, she
having married In the meantime.
But the negro man positively refused
to deliver up the child to which
he had come to be very much
attached, and suit was instituted by
the parties to regain possession of 1t,
but after hearing the trial, the
judge decided In favor OF the negro.
The case was taken by the other parties
to the supreme court, where it was de.
cided in the same manner. At thir-
teen years Of age, the girl who had al
ready an English education, was sent to
female college in Millersburgh, Ken
lucky. Here she met with AN individ-
ual named Folsome, who was attend
Ing college at that place and what at
first promised to prove but mere ac-
quaintance, grew and ripened into
love. and they became engaged.
While they were yet engaged
young Folsome was shot and killed
in difficulty with fellow student.
This sad episode in her life was
source of great grief to her, and she
abandoned her studies and returned
home with longing to see the country
OF which her dead lover had
80 often spoken. She pursuaded
the negro man to move to the
Choctaw Nation, In the Indian terri
tory, where she lived over the dreams
| Of her saddened anticipatiohs. After
spending a part of the time here, they
came to this city, where they have
lived ever since, the girl being q source
of cuIiosity to the denizens Of this city.

That there is movement for the in-

conal..on q American Agriealture.


The reports that reach us, from all parts
OF the Union, represent the agricultural in
terests to be so generally prosperous, -four
ishing and in good condition that the return
OF active trade seems TO be unavoidable
The truth is that while, under the influence
of the epidemic insolvency, the trading
classes have been running each other, end
preventing any possible reaction in the
prices of merchandise; the farmers, garden
ers and planters have done business for cash,
have made sure of their profits, and Lave
nut suffered from the operations Of the
bankrupt law. 1t is beyond question, that
the immense increase of the national exports
is mainly due to the drift of the social cur
rent, that has forced so large a proportion
Of the bone and sinew OF the republic into
agriculture, as the chief resource of the ma
ton So prodigioas have the crops become
that If seems ridiculous to fird railroad man
ayers talking about the insuficiency of the
national products to supply paying bust
ness to few trunk lines. If the farmers
and planters can obtain adequate facilities
for transportation to market, the country
can furnish produce enough to amaze the
commerce Of the world. The latest foreign
demand before us in this way is for live
stock TO be shipped alive 10 Europe to be
there bred for use, and this includes horses,
beeves, sheep and swine. The field open
ing before American agriculture is, in fact,
practically liinitless. and now we have got
the upper hand fairly and fully, it viii be
our own fault il we do not keep it We
can feed aud clothe the civilized races ofthe
world. This is something worth thinking
about and boosting of.-Ex.

Understand the reason, and all the rea-
sons, why the habit is injurious. Study the
subject until there is no longer doubt in
your mind. Avoid the places, the persons,
the thought that lead to temptation. Ere
quent the places, associate with the persons,
indulge in the thoughts that lead away from
temptation. Keep busy; idleness is the
strength Of bad habits. Do not give up the
struggle when you have broken your reso-
luton once, twice, thousand times. That
only shows how much need there is for you
10 strive. When you have spokenyour res
olution Just think the matter over, and en-
deavor to understand why it is you failed,
SO that you may be on your guard against
occurrences Of the same circumstances
Do not think ii All easy task you have I'M
dertaken. Its folly TO expect to break off
habit in day which may have been gath

Sailing Heat.


When dry salt is rubbed into fresh meat
a brine soon forms, amounting in bulk to
one-third the fluid contained in the raw flesh.
Liehig ascertained that this fluid contained
the chief constituents OF concentrated
soup or infusion of meat, and that, there
fore, the sailing process changes the COM
position more than boiling. In boiling,
where the meat is placed in boiling water,
the albumen remains in . coagulated state
in the mass of the flesh; but in sailing. the
slbumen is separated as coagulum- 1t is
now easy to understand that in sailing meat,
where this is pushed so far as to produce
the brine above mentioned, number of
substances are withdrawn from the flesh
which are essential to the constitution, and
that it therefore loses its nutritive qualities
in proportion 10 its abstraction. The grea-
ter error of oyer-salting is one OF such often
occurrence in this country, that it is seldom
that home-cured meat is free from this evil.
In many instances, one-half or two-thirds
of the salt used would be amply sufficient
10 preserve the meat, and that is the design
OF sailing in bulk. Diversified meat is not
only very unhealthy, but not half SO nutn-
tious as when properly sailed.
