Standing the Tent.


Farmers have often been induced, by plausi
BILE agents to purchase farm implements which
have proved unsatisfactory or worthless; but
the hundreds of thousands who have bought
the Buckeye Mowers and Reapers, built by
Adriance, Platt d Co., Poughkeepsie, and 1856
Greenwich Street. New York, have invariably
found their highest expecta' ions more than
realized.
This drm have for twenty-one years enjoyed
the reputation Of turning out from their fac

1t is fact, which should have great weight
with purchasers that the system Of construc-
ton peculiar to the Buckeye Machine is the
oply one that has remained unchanged in

made in competing machines, the only ones
that have met with any degree of success are
those which we're copied from the Buckeye.

"ADRIANoE," has been lately added to the

One Of New YOrk's Queer Characters

This extraordinary woman who calls
herself Mrs. Tom Jon and perambulates
on Broadway opposite the Herald Office
pretending to sell her husbands paper,
the FoLcGnO, has a'mean opinion OF the
law, writes the Detroit Free PreSs'S
New York correspondent. She has be-
come nuisance in the police courts.
The last time she appeared in court she
had complaint to make against den
tist named Skinner (the same one that
sued Beecher some time ago) for bother
ing her in the street about a little bill
she owes him. The judge who happened
to be sitting just then metaphorically
bounced Mrs. Tom-ri-j Jon out OF court
and used some plain language to the
effect that she was the greatest nuisance
in New York. Her husband, Mr..
Tom-ri-ion, has written to the Judge
demanding to know what he meant, and
the Judge says that if Mr.. Tom-ri Jon
wants to know what he meant he had
best come to court and find out. The
chances are that Mr.. Tom ri-jon won't
have any business in that court for some
time. The queer looking woman with
the preposterous name may be seen any
day in front of the Astor house or st.
Paul's Church. She is about rs tall as
the average man, and the rig she wears
makes her look like one of those pictur-
esque fellows who chase the bounding
buffalo on the back of dime novels. Her
hat is of the Buffalo Bill and Texas
Jack order, but turned up more on one
side, and it is decorated with bright
colors to make people look at her. She
wears a sort of drab frock coat that falls
below the knee, and is fastened around
the waist with a flaring red sash. Pant
aloons of the same color complete her
exterior outfit, and the whole tout en-.
Sem6le, SO to speak, is about the oddest
that could be imagined. Mrs. Tom-ri'
Jon carries satchel swung on one side,
with few copies of the Volcano ai
ballast, and one hand usually grasps O
big stick that is always ready for action
She and her husband came here from
Kentucky n few years ago. A gooC
many New Yorkers, including the police
magistrates, wish they would go back t.
Kentucky right off.

More Bear Than Was Bargained For

The town of Avesnes, in France, has
been the scene of no ordinary bear fight.
A muzzled animal of the tribe was dis
porting himself in the market place to
the sound of the violin, and had collect
ed a circle of admirers, while M.
Joseph Mansy added to the public en-
loyment by dancing as the vis-a-vis of
the bear. One of the spectators had,
IS the French papers say, the deplora-
bic idea of letting loose bull dog at
the animal performer. The poor muz-
zled creature was unfairly handled dur
tue fastenings broke and the bear was
free. Disdaining to tackle the dog he
pushed on his human tormentors. "Then
began" as Mr.. Kingsley used to say,
with unconcealed delight, ga murder
grim and great" Poor Mansy, whose
intentions were of the best, was the
foremost victim. The bear struck him
on the face, laying open his chin to the
bone. First blood for the bear. Work.
men came up with pitchforks, and
Waged doubtful battle. The military
then of course appeared on the scene,
and charged the bear with the bayonet.
After gallant struggle the creature,
With whom it may not be unpatriotic to
Ympathize, was overpowered by the
french soldierly and remuzzled. The
following persons swell the roll of his
onquests: Theodore Rougemont, g
ailway porter, had bite on his knee
md some bruises; Ernest Janson goes
with his arm in sling, and is lame oi
one leg; Edward Viseur has cut in the
high; Alfred Magg's hand was nearly
bitten off. A few other spectators were
slightly hurt. The bear is gravely
Nounded, and shows the natural good
ness OF his heart by licking the hand o
hls master, to whom he is seriously at
taehed. The people of Avesnes are un
likely to revive the sport of amateur
bear batting.

There is q boy just over the garden fenoe,
Who is swhistling all through the lvelong day,
And his work is not just mere pretense,
For you see the weeds no has cut away.
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you go,
Shorten the row
BY the songs you know.
Not word Of bemeaning his task hear,
He has scarcely time for growl, know,
For his whistle sounds so merry and clear,
He must find some pleasure in every row,
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you go,
Shorten the row,
By the songs you know.
But then while you whistle, be sure that you
hoe,
For, il you are idle, the briers will spread;
And whistle alone to the end Of the row
May do for the weeds, but is bad for the
bread.

Ertrd ct from he Neio York Times, June H.
1875.
fen years ago Messrs. Geo. p Rowell Co.,
established their advertising agency in New
York city. Five years ago they absorbed the
business conducted by Mr.. John Hooper, who
was the first to 20 into this kind of enterprise.
Now they have the satisfaction Of controlling
the most extensive and complete advertising
connection which has ever been secured, and
one which would be hardly possible in any
other country but this. They have succeeded
in working down a complex business into 80
thoroughly syste natic method that no change
in the newspaper system OF America can es
cape notice, while the widest information upon
all topics interesting to advertisorp is placed
readily at the disposal Of the public.

The double faced satin ribbons are the
novelties of the season, and display
many new effec in combination of
color.
Many of the new pearl ornaments
used for the trimming of bonnets are
taken off and worn in the evening as
jewels.
Pretty country dresses for young la
dies are of Scotch gingham and fine
mixed checks, made with yoked waists
and trimmed with torchon lace.
Pocket handkerchiefs are articles dc
htre nowadays. They are very small
and finished with many colors, and much
gay embroidery upon the edges.
The new mastic or putty color is very
fashionable in soft chip. 1t is trimmed
with satin ribbon of the same shade, and
pale oats, contrasted with scarlet.
Lace oollarettes are now made in the
form of vests, and are accompanied by
very deep, straight cuffs. Instead of o
bow OF ribbon, a small bouquet of flow
ers is now worn with them, high upon
the left shoulder.
Street garments are smaller and short
er than last year. The round cape sim
gle double or triple, the revived Visite,
and small straight mantalet taking the
lead The jacket, however, is by no
means dispensed with.
Neck ties are in gray green and mas
tic, and beige shades, beautifully en-
broidered upon the ends in mixtures of
colors, Indian, Pomperian, Egyptian
and italian. The latest combination is
bronze, old gold and red.
The new parasols are, generally rather
large, havesround tops, Lslender ivory or
ebony sticks with carved handles, and
are either, embroidered in a pattern
which forms border or fringed with
loops of ribbon. The small carriage
parasols are some of them very beauti-
fully embroidered in colors upon white
or black to match the dress.
French thread gloves are made very
long upon the arm, are without buttons,
and finished like an open work stock
ing. Long wrists in black, and light
tints, have been prepared for summer
wear. Some of them are of fine, real
lace, to which an exquisite embroidery
is added, but the majority are Of netted
silk.
High bodices cannot be cut too high,
but the numerous seams extending up
the back and which have been 80 dis
figuring to the form and fabric are dis
carded, and the French back sloped un-
der the arm, high cut upon the shoul-
der, and without any seam at all to
break its surface, substituted. Sleeves
are still shaped to the arm, but they are
cut shorter than formerly, and for sum-
mer wear will not extend far below the
elbow; mits or long gloves covering
the lower part of the arm in the street.
A great deal of coquetry is now dis
played in the dressing of the feet. Low
shoes, Oxford ties and the like, have
largely taken the place of high button
ed boots, even upon the street, and the
stockings are as elegant, and as strictly
adapted to the costume, as means will
allow. Fine stockings in thread anC
silk are delicately open-worked il
straight lines, or embroidered sometime
in very striking patterns, and it is
great fashion with girls just now, Il
embroider their own plain hosiery will
the color of the dress, with which it il
worn, or its trimmings.

A Lesson for All.

Look most to your spending. No
matter what comes in, if more goes out
you will always be poor. The art is not
in making money but in keeping it; lit
lle expenses, like mice in large barn,
Ehen they are many, make great waste.
tor by hair heads gets bald; straw by
Iraw the thatch goes off the cottage,
nd drop by drop the rain comes into
he chamber. A barrel is soon empty if
te top leaks but drop minute; when
Oh mean to save, begin with your
nouth; many things pass down the red
Inne. In all other things keep within
compass. Never stretch your legs
larther than the blankets will stretch,
OF you will soon be cold. In clothes,
choose suitable and lasting stuff, and
not tawdry fineries. To be warm is the
main thing, never mind the looks. A
|ooi may make money, but it needs 9
fe man to spend it. Remember it ii

Losing q Button.

Walter Scott tells story of boy who
was with him in school, who always
stood at the head of his class. It was
the custom of the scholars to change
places in their classes, according to fail
ure or success in recitation; but though
Walter was number two, he could not
get to the head, because this boy never
missed. But Walter noticed that he had
a habit, when puzzled by hard ques-
ton, of twirling button on his jacket,
and this seemed to help him to think
out a right answer. Walter, more
through mischief than any worse mo-
tive, cut off the button slyly one day, to
see if that would make any difference.
The lesson was a spelling lesson, and
several boys at the foot missed hard
word. 1t came round to the head. The
boy instinctively put his hand to the
button. Itwas gone. He looked down
to find it, grew confused, missed the
word, and Walter went above him. The
boy never got to the head again, seemed
to loose his ambition, settled down into
second-rate scholar, and never accom-
plished much in life. Walter Scott de-
clared that he often suffered sharp re-
morse at the thought that he possibly
/ spoiled the boy for school and for life
by cutting off the button that had done
such sood service.
