Forty-Five Miles a Day on Foot.

Not long since Jim Hicks was brought
here from Dickson county for safe keep
ing, Charlotte not having such an in
stitution as Jail. The mother of Hicks
got uneasy about her wayward son, a
few days ago, and began to have sleep
less nights on account of receiving no
tidings from him. She at last prevailed
upon another son and her brother to
come to Nashville and see how "Jim was
getting along" So they started at 4.30
A. NJ. and reached the Jail at P. NJ.
having walked forty-three miles.
''Did you stop anywhere?" 2" asked
Green Morrow.
''Only once or twice" said the elder.
"We stayed over an hour at Bon Aqua
Springs, where the people had just
begun to stir about. We then stopped
while at Rock (Judge's) SPRING"
Among other melancholy news they
informed Jim that old Mrs. What's-her-
names hogs had got into his corn, and
that the crop had been suffering in con-
sequence; that somebody had broken
down the fence, and that things gener-
ally were getting into very bad shape
on account of his visit to Nashville.
When they parted Jim had written a
letter to a married brother, which they
were to deliver.
"How far does Jim's married brother
live
Cox, who had become interested from
having inditej the brothers letter.
''Only six miles," they said.
"And do you propose to carry this
letter there before you go home to-mor-
row night:'
"Oh yes, it's only little piece out of
the way
''Forty-three miles from this place to
your home ~ calculated Cox, "with an
addition of twelve miles out of the way
for the eletter-ffty-fv miles-and how
long will it take you TO make it?"
''About three miles an hour without
worrying" said the elder.
1.-The championwalkers of theworld.'
said Jailer Yarbrough enthusiastically
as they turned away from the cell to
leave.
"We'd returned tonight said the
elder, ''but for little business | have
got to do tomorrow morning.
They left at 8 A. N. and were met at
Bellevue, fourteen miles distant, tramp
ing homeward, at 9 An.

A Mule That Wasn't For sale.

He was showing the man the new bay

Why She LOred Hsr.-Backward and
forward in her little rocking chair went
Alice Lee, now clasping her beautiful
doll TO her bosom, and singing low sweet
lullabies; then smoothing its fldxen
curls, patting its rosy cheeks, and
whispering softly, al love you, pretty
dolly; and anon casting wistiul
glances toward her mother, who sat in
a lay window, busily writing. After
what seemed 10 be very long time TO
the little daughter, Mrs. Lee pushed
aside the papers and, looking up, said
pleasantly, Il am through for to-day,
Alice; you may now make all the noise
you choose" Scarcely were the words
uttered, ere the little one had flown 10
her and nestled her head on her loving
heart, saying earnestly:
''I'm so glad; wanted to love you so
much, mamma"
did you, darling?" And she claspej
her tenderly. ~ am very glad my
Alice loves me so ; but | fancy you were
not very lonely while l wrote; you and
dolly seemed TO be having happy time
together"
Yes, we had, mamma; but i got
tired alter while OF loving her."
"And why?"
"Oh. because she never loves me
back"
And that is why you love me?"
''That is one Iohy, mamma; but not
the first one, or the best"
"And what is the first and best?"
"Why, mamma, don't you guess?'
and the blue ewes grew very bright and
earnest. ''lt's because you loved me
when l was TOO little to love you back ;
that's why | love you So"
"We love Him because He first loved
u.s." whispered the mother; and fer
vently she thanked God for the little
child-teacher.

Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great was peculiar in
dietics as in other things. A strong
man, he took strong food. '"ro-day,"
Zimmerman writes, "the King has
taken a great qnantity of soup made of
the strongest gravy drawn from the
most healing meats. With it he mixed
large tablespoonful of pounded mace
and pounded ginger. He then ate a
large slice of beef stewed in brandy.
This he followed up by a copions allow
ance of an Italian dish, composed half
of maize flower and half of Parmesan
cheese. To this he added the juice of
the garlic, and the whole is fried in
butter till it acquires crust as thick
as ones finger. This is called polenta.
AT length" continued Zimmerman,
1.-The King, praising the excellentappe-
tite which the dandelion had given
him, concluded the scene with large
plate Of eel pie, so hot and so highly
seasoned that it seemed to have been
baked in hell" Then he concludes /:
"While at the table the King fell asleep
and was seized with convulsions."

Around the Melon.

There is always crowd OF people at
the laying of cornerstone, at a boat
race, trotting match, or military par
ade, but no OcOuntenance weais that look
of intense interest which is visible
when twenty-five or thirty citizens
gather around a two-shilling water
melon and discuss the awful Eiystery
concealed beneath the rind. After the
melon has been "hefted," thumped,
pressed and squeezed by each one of
the group in turn, the man who has
crossed the Alps, shot tigers in India,
met the Czaa of Russia, and cleaned
out Sitting Bull on the plains of America
declares his candid belief that it is
ripe melon. Then the man who has
owned nineteen different farms, mar
ried four different wives, written two
books on agriculture, and raised melons
by the million, asserts that the specimen
before them is green. The crowd
divide of, yea and nay, and the owner
of the melon pulls out his knife and
proceeds to slowly perform the opera
ton of plugging" The silence il so
deep that the ticking of a watch sounds
like a fire alarm. Men can be seen to
shut their jaws and grow pale. Not a
wOrd-nOt a whisper till the old jack
knife has performed its work. When
the plug is pulled out to view, every
eye is turned upon it, every heart gives
a throb, and the silence is broken by
general yell of;
Didn't We say so?''

had another string to her bow in the
person of village doctor. For long
time she had kept her Lyme lover in a
state of uncertainty, in the hope that
she might draw out proposal from his
professed rival After some months of
this dallying, Mr.. GriswOld determined
to have the matter settled, and so one
day rode 10 the town, entered her house
and once more rendered heart and hand.
"Oh, Mr.. Griswold, you must give
me more time" said the lady.

the indignant reply; whereat the youth
bowed himself out, flung himself into
the saddle and gallOped away forever.

homestead at Black Hall, on the shore
of the Sound, just east of the mouth of
the Connecticut River, appeared soon
after his cousin Ursula, little his SEN

pride and ready wit of her grandmother
Martha.
She "came, saw, cenquered;" but,
warned by his past experience, Matthew
was slow to speak, though his looks and
actions betrayed his feelings toward his
pretty cousin. Things ran on this way
for a space until one stormy day, near
the close of her visit, Ursula, descend

she, stopping suddenly, said sweetly:

"Oh, Ididn't speak; | didn't say any

time you did,

take the hint, and speedily found his
tongue; and this is how Ursula Wolcott
became Ursula Griswold ,and for twenty
five years always had a near relative in
the Governors chair in old Connecticut.

1t is very easy TO make gas, but 1t
costs much trouble to purify it, so that it
may burn well and give off no noxious
odors. Below is a sort of gas catechism,
which conveys a good deal of important
slight" on this subject:
"How do they make gas?"
"First, they put about two bushels of
bituminous coal in long air-tight re-
tort. This retort is heated red-hot,
when the gas bursts out of it, as you see
it burst out of soft coal when on the
parlor-fire. The gas passes off through
pipes. A ton of coal will make ten thou
sand cubic feet of gas. The gas, as il
leaves the coal, is very impure"
"How do they purify it?"
"First, while hot, it is run off into
another building; then it is forced
through long, perpendicular pipes, sur
rounded with cold water. This cools
the gas, when a good deal of tar con-
denses from it and runs down to the
bottom of the perpendicular boiler, half
full of wood laid crosswise. Then ten
thousand streams of cold water are
spurted through the boiler. Through
the mist rain, and between the wet
sticks of wood the gas passes, coming
out washed and cleansed. The am
monia condenses, joins the water Snd
falls to the bottom"
"What next?"
"Well, next, the gas is purified. 1t
is passed through watts of lime and oxide
of iron, which takes out the carbonic
acid and ammonia"
"What nextP"
''The gas is now pure. 1t passes
through the big statiOn-meter, then
through the main and pipes, until it
reaches the gas-jets in your room. Then
it burns, while you all scold because it
does not burn better.'

Might in Cheyenne.

At night Cheyenne is whirlpool OF
excitement, one hundred drinking snd
gambling saloons In full blast. brass
bands clamoring through the streets,
myriads of lamps with their refiectors
flashing their vivid rays through the
dark shadows on the palpitating mass
of human beings surging through the
wide avenues. McDaniel's, Belle Union
and another varieties theatre open their
yawning docrways to the stream OF
mortals flowing constantly in and out.
The former is the prominent place; it
consists of two spacious halls, hand
somely arranged and ornanented and
kept in one building. The theatrical
hall is resplendent with gaudy, frescoed
walls and ceiling, the brilliant colors
being in keeping with the fiashy tastes
of the patrons. A range of twenty pri-
vate boxes form half-oval above the
extensive lower hall, where the per-
formers, principally female singers,
congregate during the intervals between
the acts. The stage is of pretty large
size, gayly decorated. General admis-
sion to the concert saloon, % cents, in
Guiding a drink or cigar; up stairs,
% cents extra. Every night the place
is crowded with this mixed population,
representing nearly all races-thetawny
Indian in blanket, breech clout and leg
gings; the reasyMexican, dark visaged
and sullen; the Chinaman, childlike
and bland; the negro; the keunacka,
and finally the white. Nearly all wear
the regulation sombrero; buckskin
suits. gayly Ornamented with beads,
are worn by many, but the majority
are attired in the California drilling.
OF course, everyone is armed with six
shooter or bowie, and shooting or cut
ting scrapes are frequent result of
inebriated contention. The saloon is
overlooked with girl walters.
The gambling hall, like all the rest
in town, is run night and day, Sunday
included, openly, and is attended and
patronized by both sexes, old and
young. The games operated are faro,
keno, roulette. rouge ct bOir, vingt un,
lansqurnetle, freeze out, poker, and a
number of other card games. The Ia
bles are constantly crowded and money
changes hands rapidly. This hall Il
equally as large as the theatre, and also
trimmed up; it is connected with the
other by three wide doorways. The
gambling is done with ''chips," which
you receive in exchange for your cash;
The stakes are limited from 10 cents to
sl2 80 in faro. McDanIeIs's Is gener-
ally considered a square game" and
literally patrOnized. Some "brace"
games are dealt in town, but by the
professionals are avoided. Four dance
halls are run in different parts of town,
and are well attended, but they are the
most degraded of all the debauched
dens.

Electrotyping.-La Nature states that
some specimens of metal work now on
exhibition in the halls of the Academy
are being greatly admired, and are mis-
taken by every one for silver, until the
secretary explains that this effect has
been obtained by NJ. Cattle in deposit
ing coating of cobalt on red copper by
means of battery, 1t would seem as if
this new conquest of electroplating
might be applied to engraving; and TO
show that it may be, the author sends
two proofs, one taken from an ordinary
copper plate, and the other from the
same plate "cobalted." The advantage
of this process lies, first, in the durabil-
ity of the cobalt, which allows of d
great number of impressions, and Sec
Ondly, in the fact that the plate being
exhausted, nothing is easier than TO re-
move the cobalt without harming the
copper, and then 10 cover il again with
new coating. Nickel, which is so
readily applied TO metals, will not admit
of such manipulation.

HINTS ABOUT HoRsEs.-If a colt is
never allowed TO get an advantage, IL
will never know that it possesses a
power that man cannot control, and if
made familiar with strange objects 1t
will not become skittish and nervous.
If horse is made accustomed from his
early days TO have objects hit him on
the heels, back and hips, he will pay no
attention TO the giving out of the har-
ness, or a wagon running against him
at any unexpected moment. We once
saw an aged lady drive high spirited
horse, attached TO a wagon, down a
steep hill, with no hold back straps upon
the harness, and she assured US that
there was no danger, for her son accus-
toned his horses TO all kinds of usages
and sights that commonly drive that
animal into a frenzy of fear and excite
ment. 4 gun can be fired from the
back of horse, an umbrella held over
his head, a railroad engine pass close
by, his heels bumped with sticks, and
the animal takes il all as natural con-
dition OF things, if only taught by care
tul management that he will not be in
nred thereby.

Nature, says DIR. Hermann j. Klein,

Ploisl. discovered some time ago on the
moons surface a great black crater on
the Mare Vaporum, and little TO the

Hyginus. He describes the crater as
being nearly as large as Hyginus, or
about three miles in diameter, being
deep and full of shadow, and as form
ing a conspicuous object on the dark
gray Mare Naporum. So far the Eng
lish observations of the new crater have
been perfectly in accord with those of
