An Old Minister'S Fate.

The Rev. James Jackson, eighty-three
years Of age, of Sandwich, in Words
worth's "Lake Country" attempted to
ascend Pillar Rock, three thousand feet
above the sea. He was known as the
Patriarch of the P illarites, and he wished
to leave on the summit of the rock some
poetry in small bottle for the next
climber to read and wonder at. The
verses ran: "Two elephantine proper
ties are mine; I can bend to pick up pin
or pack; And when this year the Pillar
Rock I climb, Fourscore and two's the
howdah on my back" But no more
was seen of the venerable climber until
hismangled body was found by searchers
two days after, lying at the foot of a
precipitous descent. lie had apparent
ly fallen down very steep place, two or
three hundred yards high. His watch
had stopped at three o'clock. A stick
was found about one hundred yards
above him, and another about forty
yards above that.

Mr.. Sherman At Moreau's restaurant, in New
Orleans Anderson was closely croes-exAmined
and made 10 repeat in detail all the circum-
stances Of the interview, but his answers 70
all the questions put to him on that point did
not show any notable variation or discrepancy.
The third day OF the investigation was de
voted to the continuation OF Anderson's eros =
examination. The first thing done, however,
was the adoption Of q resolution presented by
Mr.. Butler, OF the committee, calling upon the
President to furnish the committee with the
correspondence Anderson alleges had passed
between Senator Matthews and the President
in regard TO obtaining position for Anderson.
Agreed 10 unanimously. Anderson was shown
what purported to be an agreement between
himself and Weber. proposing to mutually pro-
test against counting the vote Of East and West
Felciana, in spite Of the fact recited in the
agreement that the vote was fair. This docu-
ment witness had previously testified he had
given TO Senator Matthews now, on examining
It closely, he stated that 1t was not the copy
which he had mailed to Mr.. Matthews though
the writing was an excellent counterfeit. The
Matthews copy Of the Nash agreement was also
shown to witness and he said he thought it
was the document which he had Civ a &c Mr..
Matthews, but that since tie other had been
altered he would not like to say positively.

How to Learn to Swim.

A writer in the american AqricuI-
eurtst offers the following suggestions,
by obedience to which the art of swim
ming may be readily acquired:
When was boy, learned to swim
by means of swimming board. This
is the safest method possible. If corks
are used, they may slip from around the
breast down beneath the body, throw
ing the head below the surface, and
putting the wearer in danger of drown
ing.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie them together with short
cord, and use these as supports. They
are the most dangerous things possible
for boy to have.
The board is perfectly safe, and one
may learn to swim in very short time
by using one. 1t should be over four
feet long, over a foot wide, and two
inches thick, made of soft white pine or
cedar. To use it, boy wades into the
water up to his shoulders, then, taking
hold OF the end of the board. he pushes
it before him-towards the bank, and
not into deeper water-springs forward
"AuA Alo lCoOJ huu .burOWb nlmSen hat
upon the water. This movement carries
him along few feet. He then draws ND
both his legs at the same time, keeping
the knees as far apart as possible, and
then strikes out with both feet, not
straight backward, but sideways, just as
frog does. The stroke is made slowly,
and is repeated again, drawing up the
legs slowly and steadily. The board
keeps the head above water. When the
leg-etroke has been learned, one hand
is taken from the board and the stroke
learned, or the chin may be rested on
the board while the stroke is taken with
both hands. This is a very good plan.
as it compels the swimmer to keep his
hands under the water, which he should
always do. By-and-by the board may be
pushed ahead, and the young swimmer
may swim after it, always keeping it
within reach. When number OF bows
go to swim, they should always have two
or three of these boards with them for
use in case of any accident.

Buckeye Mowers and Renpers.

The Buckeye Mowers and Reapers, built by
Adriancs, Platt & Co., Poughkeepsie, and 165
Greenwich street, New York, have for 81 years
held the highest position. While many useful
improvements have been made in other depart
ments CT agricultural machinery, all attempts
to produce machine that would equal the
Buckeye In the simplicity and correctness of
its principles of construction have failed
while the excellence of the mechanical work
done by Adriance, Platt Il Co., has given them
a worldwide fame.
The New Model Buckeye Mower contains all
the original Buckeye features and is construct
ed entirely of iron and steel. 1t is truly a
model Of beauty, symmetry, ightness, strength,
efficiency and durability.
The Adriance Reaper built by the same firm
is the nearest approach to perfection yet at
tanned in a light, simple, single-drive wheel
iron reaper, combining every desirable featur
to enable it to do the best of work under al
circumstances. Its platform is very easily fold
ed, rendering it as portable as the Buckeye
Mower, and enabling it to pass through the

Dog and Snake.

Mr.. G.. cambridge, civil surgeon,
Sattara, favors the Times of India with
the following account of an encounter
between dog and cobra:
While we were sitting outside after
dinner, my wife felt something moving
against her feet and jumped up from
her chair. At the same moment our ter
rier, lying close by, saw and few at the
object, which by its kissing at once de-
clared itself to be a snake. While l
called for lights and sticks the reptile
retreated into the hollow of an adjacent
tree against which is fernery, and hiss
ed so loudly that my servants and I were
deceived into thinking the noise to be
that of cat. After prodding into the
recesses of the rookery with sticks for
several minutes, the loud Kissing being
continued the while, the snake suddenly
came out before my servant, and stood
erect upon the stone-work with expanded
hood. At this moment the dog, who
had all along been trying, by barking
violently, to dislodge the animal, rushed
twice at least and dragged it down upon
the ground from the rookery. I beat off
the dog and hit the snake two blows
with piece of split bamboo seven feet
long and quite supple, held near one
end. Very little injury could have been
inflicted on the snake by these blows,
which were made quite at random; and
while it was writhing vigorously, and
before I could strike it again the dog
carried it away, and was found few
minutes afterward forty yards off worry.
ing the reptile, which he held by the
throat, and had killed. The cobra (the
head of which I have preserved) was
three feet seven inches long, with dis
tinct spectacles and perfect fangs. The
dog is alive, and was not the least i'll
after the encounter.

The Hill OF Life.

The roads leading over the hill of life
are numerous; some people take the
road which is bright and gay-on which
flowers of the richest hues are blooming
but they find, that before they are
halfway, the flowers have faded, all is
bleak, they are wearied, and are glad to
lie down and die; others strive to go
over the steep banks which lead to for
tune and to fame, but the paths on
which they walk are weak and rugged
some stop at a deep precipice over
which they are unable to pass; the foot
hold of others give way, and they are
hurled to the bottom; while only a few
reach the coveted goal; but the wise
man chooses the road which goes over
the hill with gradual slope, on which.
here and there, are sweet flowers which
cheer him on his way until he arrives at
his journeys end, where dwell Peace,
Happiness and Oontentment.

A Moving Event.

Speaking of queer things in the his
tory of HOUSEKEEPING, remarks Chica-
go correspondent, certainly the queerest
which has ever come to my notice oc-
Cured to friend of mine, the merit of
its strangeness being it's literal truth. A
little more than year ago he rented O
house to party who was stranger,
but who, paying his first months rent in
advance, and having every appearance
of being respectable man, was counted
by the agent as good tenant. The first
of the second month, when my friend
went to collect his rent, imagine his
surprise at not finding any house upon
the lot. Some time during the month
the house had been moved away, and to
this day he has been unable to find
sign or trace of it. I have often heard
of tenants leaving house without pay
ing their rent, but this is the first case
ever knew or heard of where the ten
ant not only got away with his rent, but
with the house also. They do these
things differently in Chicago, you know.

Congressional Pastime.

A Washington correspondent writes:
One day while the House was under
conviction and some of the members
telling their experience, I saw Mr..
Shelley, Of Alabama, spread out hand
kerchief upon his desk, take up the
blotting stand and, in pepper-box fash
ion, sprinkle the handkerchief full, then
quietly fold it up and lay it down in
front of Mr.. Bouck, of Wisconsin. The
gentleman didn't notice the handker-
chief until Mr.. Shelley nudged him and
pointed to it; then, as if his friend had
given him hint to blow his nose, he
took article and blowed, and he was
sanded in fine style, while the members
who saw the joke laughed in school
boy fashion and nearly drowned the
voice OF the gentleman who was speak
ing.

From washington.

Mr.. Cobb, of Indiana, one of the members of
the Florida election investigation committee,
resigned on account of ill-health, and Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, was appointed in his
place. The committee resolved to sit with open
doors and to allow Secretary Sherman to appear
by counsel, as requested by him. Messrs Black
burn, b. ringer and Reed form the sub,corimit-
tee to take testimony IN Louisiana, and Messrs.
Hunton, Stenger and Hiscok the sub-commit-
tee to perform similar duty in Florida.
The House committee on the revision of the
laws, has reported favorably a bill to repeal
that section of the revised statutes which re-
lates to the sending of obscene literature
through the mails, on the ground that the
law is uncon titutional and in many instances
has been executed in IA unjust and tyrannical
manner.
