YakOb.

It was saying in the family that "Sue
was the poet, Joe the fiancier, and Char
ley-had discovered the Yakob."
1t needs very little wit to give a say
ing long life in lonely farmhouse, and
Yakob was as remarkable novelty
among US as poem or good deal of
money would have been.
He was a very short, very stumpy.
very white headed Ouch boy of seven
teen, whom Charley found on the Bat
terry one winters day. Charley went to
New York every winter to buy groceries
for the plantation, and clothes for the
slaves, and he had found Yakob on his
last visit, in 1859, just before the war
began.
Yakob had landed from an Antwerp
schooner, and fallen among thieves, who
left him in rags and penniless, when
Charley came, like the good Samaritan,
to his rescue.
''But what ban you do with him2' my
father demanded, when the queer look
ing creature stood before him, his big
eyes staring straight at him.
"Oh, there will DC some place open
for him on the plantation, sir" said
Charley. Hell be of use somewhere.
"You could make more use of a sea
horse" said Sue, pertly; and my mother
nodded. Mother said she had an instinc-
tive dislike to Yakob. But whatever
Charley did was right in our good moth
er's eyes; and besides, she would have
been gentle ana polite to Yakob even if
he had been q sea-horse.
So charley, taking me by the hand
led Yakob round to the tobacco house
and set him to work there. He stared in
dismay for minute at the black faces
for he had seen but two negroes, aud had
never been brought in contact with a
black man) and then went to work in
diligently enough, and never raised his
eyes to them again.
Charley and went back to the house,
was boy Of nine then, and the tor
ment and pet Of my big brothers. We
found my father on the portico reading
the Richmond Examiner.
81 have brought you first rate ma
chine, sir" Charley SAID" as steady, and
sure, and dumb, as if it were made of
wood and STEEL"
It's your property" said father, with
. shrug.
Now nobody but Charley understood
German, and Yakob could not speak .
word of English. It followed, therefore,
that father had to take entire charge Of
his " property" He gave him a little
wooden shanty, which had been tool
house on the edge Of the woods, in which
TO sleep.
The German whitewashed and repaired
his dwelling. and in the spring planted
vines and flowers about it. Instead of
being longer an eyesore, it became the
most picturesque spot on the plantation.
But 1.-The creature himself" Sue declared,
WAS an animal" Such mountains of
pork and rivers of beer disappeared down
his throat!
He showed no sign OF interest in any
living thing except Charley. whom he
followed about like dog whenever he
could, never speaking, however, unless
forced to do 50.
The war came, Of which wish to say
little Our family, like many others On
the border, was divided. Joe went into
one army, Charley, into the other. Ny

CALIFORNIA VS.. AUSTRALIA WOOL.


Formerly the greater part of the
wool used in the knitting factories at
Cohoes came from Australia. A few
years ago samples Of California wool
were tried and found to be of superior
quality, though 30 dirty that half the
freight charges were paid for dirt.
To remedy this defect large wool
securing establishments were opened
in California, and ever since then they
have been sending clean wool, saving
not only half the cost of freight. but
placing the Cohoes manufacturer in
possession of a better article than
Australia could furnish. As natural
consequence the Australian wool is
nov entirely discarded. Sheep raising
is wonderfully increasing in Oregon,
and the prospect is good that in a
few years the Pacific coast will have
a monopoly of the wool trade.

SOMEBODY must have been taking that

enormously during the first six months Of

in Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota and Ne

than a7million and d halfof dollars, but
during the corresponding period of this
year they have amounted 10 over FIVE mil

War News.

The capture and passage of the
Turkish end of Shipka pass, the 9th,
was more important than was first
reported. Gen. Radetsky, after des-
perate fighting in terribly cold
weather, captured the Turkish forth
fications and army, consisting of Al
battalions of infantry, 10 battalions
and a regiment of cavalry and then
pressed on toward Sophia, which
as before reported, the Turks evacu-
ated. On the 10th the Turkish gov
eminent asked Russia for an armis-
tice, during which negotiations for
peace might be carried on.
The Russian government, since
the capture of Shipka pass, refuses
to grant an armistice unless Turkey
agrees to certain conditions OF
peace. kilograms of the 18th state
that a great battle went on all day
on the 14th, between Tartar Bazaar
Xix and PhillOpOlis, and that thu
Turks fell back to the latter place
being determined to prevent thu
capture of Adrlanople if possible
Turkish ENJOYS empowered TO ne
gotiate for peace have started from
Constantinople for the camp o
Grand Duke Nicholas, who is alsC
authorized to conclude peace fol
Russia. If they cannot agree, Eng
land will either have to take part il
the war or Turkey submit to wha
| Russia demands.
