An Italian Fanatic.

David Lazzaretti was some forty-fve
years old, and originally the driver of
carriers wagon. Of an eXcitabe
temperament, his mind filled with rec
ords of the marvellous, and sharing no
doubt the livelier impressions of pc
riOd of revolution and Instruction, he
came to conceive himself as destined for
a grand regenerating mission. He
brooded for some time in vain as to
which direction that mission was to
take. He tried several careers by
turns. First he was a soldier; then he
exchanged the sword for the pen, APP
pearing as writer of tragedies; next
we find him among the Red-shirts, fol-
lowing Garibaldi; then a priest; till,
| finally, he vanished from his native
Arcidosso, nobody knew whittier. After
a years absence he came back among
his fellow-townsmen in the guise of an
apostle, protesting the spiritual power
of new Christ and basing his preten-
sions on the visions he had seen and the
miracles he had wrought. In the me-
dieval time the Church would have
conciliated and absorbed him into her
service, would have clothed him in
vestments appropriate to his calling
and sent him out to the highways tore
claim the lost sheep. But she either
found him untractable for her purpose
or had lost faith. in such instruments of
her propaganda, so that in 1869 he was
allowed to 90 about Arcidosso and its
neighborhood as an "inspired IDIOT"

little, however, he gained credence for
his marvellous tales of visions. With
continual practice he had improved his
native eloquence to something like sua-
sive impressiveness, and first among
the poor country folk, next among the
dwellers in towns, he formed a sect
which acknowledged his spiritual pow
er and professed itself convinced by his
teaching. From his hermitage of Monte
Sacro he would sally forth, collecting
adherents as he went, went, till he had
considerable congregation around
him, which listened with rapt attention
to his homilies and repaid them with
handsome presents. In few years he
could number his " disciples and his
apostles, while chapel with box
for offerings replaced the L" local habita-
tom of his mountain shrine, and 1.-The

and Penitentsn gave to his heterogene-
Gus sect its "name." In addition to this
he has a "holy place" at Montelabro
and another holy place. at Montoro,

time "legate." His doctrine was
that of an orthodox Catholic, with a

litical communism. Fourier, Saint ST.

Rich Mems Sons.

The president of one of our largest
banks said, day or two since, that a
rich mans son had just left his place
and he was the last man of the kind he
should ever employ. The man was
faithful, honest and filled intelligently
and well all the duties required of him /;
but just as he had become accustomed
to his work he found out it was too con-
filming, and raw clerk had to be put in
his place. A bad look for rich young
men, but its the old story repeated for
a thousandth time. If rich mems sons
will not endure the drudgery by which
nearly all their fathers secured money
and position, they must take a second
airy place in the next generation; and
oftener they drop out of sight amid the
idle, worthless herd, if, indeed, they es-
cape an association with loafers and
criminals. What say the labor re-
formers to facts like these, for facts they
are without question. Nearly every
man in any leading position in the COM
munity began life poor. Let the sons
of rich men take warning and 90 to
work honestly and faithfully every day,
if they hope to fill the positions held by
their fathers. Troy Budget.

Interesting to Smokers.

Many thousands of smokers, who,
until within a few years, turned up their
noses at any other cigars than those of
Havana manufacture, are now content
to use cigars made at home. This is
one of the measures of economy forced
on the people by the hard times, and
it is one over which nobody need
grieve.
If the domestic cigars are properly
made, though they may not be 50 salts
factory to fastidious taste as those of
Havana manufacture, they yet may be
not much more deleterious in their
effects than the cigars imported from
Cuba. Moreover, this forced comsum p
ton of our own cigars has helped to
develop one of the great industries of
the country. But it is remarkable that
even when the cigar of domestic manu-
facture is entirely of Cuban tobacco,
with the exception of the wrapper
and Havana-made cigars may be rolled
in Connecticut leaf--the experienced
smoker will at once detect it from the
article which comes already rolled
from Cuba; or at least he will pretend
to lott
The Cuban war has, as it is well
known, resulted in the establishment
at Key West of large colony of Cuban
eXiles, most of whom are engaged in
making cigars. These cigars which

ufacture, are little inferior to them in
quality. Throughout New York, too,
great numbers of Cuban exiles are now
industriously employed in the same
trade, and they have helped to encour-
age the home manufacture of cigars
which rank high in the scale of excel
lence. AS for themselves, the Cubans,
like the Spaniards, the French, and the
Russians, are chiefly consumers of
cigarettes, the use of which among our
own people has increased enormously
during the last ten years.
But the manufacture of cigars in the
United States employs lab0rers of all
nationalities. In this city, which is
one of the great centers of the trade,
thousands of hands, chiefly Bohemians
and Germans, are occupied in the bust
ness, and on the East side there is a
populous region whose inhabitants are

and rolling the leaves, either at their
own tenements or in vast factories.
Another leading center of cigar manu-
facture is Westfield, Massachusetts. 1t
is the main business of the place, and
employs men, women and children by
the thousand. Throughout Massachu-
sets and Connecticut, also, there are
cigar manufactures on smaller scale
in active operation At Westfeld, es-
pecially, machinery is extensively used
in making inferior qualities, but all the
best are of hand make. The business
is so extensive that it is not surprising
to find that, of the total number of CT
gars consumed in the country now, all
but small fraction are of home man.

At the Paris Exhibition large de-
partment is devoted to the display of
manufactured tobacco, and it affords a
striking proof of the growth of bust
ness which really did not reach the po-
sition of great industry until about
the middle of the present century. Of
course, as in all other departments of
the fair, the major portion of the space

A Short Story Showing What One
Sided Man HerOd Was.

A pretty little girl, about five years
old, with one of those sugar-loaf hats
modelled after Fra Diavolo's in the play
no doubt, came on board the Staten ISL
and ferry-boat Westfield last evening.
In her train was weary-looking, mid
dle-aged lady, whom she treated with
condescension and called "Auntie.''
After the young lady had found a COM
Portable seat in the bow of the boat she
allowed her aunt to take a camp-stool
near by. When the boat started she
began systematic method of torture,
to which the middle-aged lady submitted
with wonderful resignation.
Is that water, auntie?' she asked,
pointing to the bay.

lady.

"No, darling"
"Why didn' the rain make all that

"Why wouldn't the rain feet it?''

"What makes the heat?n

"What is the sun?'
You know what the sun is well

The little girl twisted uneasily in her
chair for moment and then burst out
with the question:
"What makes horses bones?n
q don't know" said the aunt, in a
despairing tone.
Il think they'r made out of skin"
said the little girl, with an air of con-
viction. Z" Yes, they're made out of skin

The young woman then got up and
'nearly fell over the rail into the water.
The aunt uttered shrek, and the

the young lady.

Rivaling the Bonanza.

This morning l paid visit to the
Dalrymple farm, situated eighteen miles
west of Fargo. The estate embraces
1000 acres, owned by Mr. Dalrymple,
of st. Paul, Gen. Geo. w. Case, of New
York, B. p. Cheney, of Boston, and j.
l.. Grandin, of Pennsylvania. The
Grandin division, consisting of 10000
acres, is situated on Goose River, thirty
miles south of Fargo, and apart from
the other divisions. So far operations
on the farm have been confined to
wheat growing. The farm is managed
with something of the system that is
employed in directing the operations of
an army. 1t is cut up into divisions of
1000 acres each, and these are man.
aged by experienced superintendent
and foremen, the finances of each di-
vision being brought under a regular
and separate system of bookkeeping
Mr.. Dalrymple is general manager of
the whole.
The area of ground under crop this
year is 1900 acres. Next year the
area will be increased to 10000 acres.
The spring wheat was sown the latter
part of March and the fore part of April
The first of it was cut July 25th, and
twelve days after that the work of the
reapers had been finished, and miles
upon miles of wheat shocks covered the
plains. In bringing this crop to per-
lection Mr.. Dalrymple has employed
500 head of horses and mules, 80 bread
cast 9I-feet seed-sowers, 100 14-inch
plows, POO steel-pointed harrows, Is 40
inch cylinder threshers and cleaners,
Is 10-horse power steam engines, 80
self-binding reaperS, and force of
about 400 men. These eighty machines,
when in motion, cut and bound with
wire 1000 large bundles every minute.
Threshing was begun few days ago,
and, as | stood in the midst of this
stubble plain to-day and watched the
smoke curling up from steam machines
miles upon miles away, and fancied
that they looked as vessels look when
steaming far out over the lake in front
of Chicago, thought to myself what a
magnificent desert this is! Near by
me was Superintendent who was talk
ing through telephone to another SUI
perintendent some three miles away.
Near him sat an operator, who was
sending a dispatch to another part of
the farm.
Mr.. Dalrymple said that he expected
the yield to average twenty-five bushels
per acre, which would give total of
325, 900 bushels, worth Just that many
thousand dollars, two-thirds of which
would be net profit. 1t is all No. l
wheat, and Mr.. Dalrymple said he had
