August Miller, young German,
came 70 this country three years ago
rs the result OF a family feud at home,
and went 10 work on farm near
Woodhavcn. Subsequently he mar
ried a widow with children older than
himself, who had considerable money,
aud she set him up in the milk bust
ness. They did not live happily be
cause the children, who had bitterly
opposed the match, managed IN make
trouble all the time and frequently
separated them. His wife was fear
fully jealous because Of the stories
told by her children. On one coca.
sion he beat her and was fined $50,
and failing to pay it was sent To the
penitentiary. Mrs. Miller sold all the
cows and broke up the business. Then
she relented, paid the fine and started
him anew. They soon quarrelled
again, however, aud she instituted
proceedings for an absolute divorce
aud presently had them suspended.
Her next move was to bring suit for
a limited divorce, and only fortnight
ago she terminated this SUIT by pay
ing the lawyers fees. In few days
thereafter he beat her again and she
had him arrested. She said she would
give him $500 to leave the country
aud never return. lie took her at her
word aud she placed the money in the
hands Of Justice Belts with the I'M
derstanding that he should buy Au-
gusts ticket and give him the balance
of the money when he went on board
the steamer. On Tuesday last, Au-
gust sailed for Germany. The vessel
was hardly in the stream when his
wife approached the pier, and an in
discribable scene ensued. She is 90
ing to Germany after him.-lLong

RAILROAD NoTEs.-Of the 1885,.
600 miles Of railroad completed in
the world in 1878, nearly one-half

rye receipts per mile were sl3,132
They employed $4,000 men. The
mean velocity of passenger trains was
32 miles per hour. In Great Britain
in 1877, there we're open II 900 miles
of road, costing $4,000 per mile.

AIencfnhLe 1nrio.itu.

A remarkable freak Of vegetation
has appeared in the grounds of II. b.
Taiman, Worcester, in the shape Of a
potato vine which hears tomatoes. 1t
appears to be a mixture Of the two
vegetables. and is accounted for by
the fact that strong tomato vine
from chance-sown seed grew in the
same hill with the tomatoes, and the
pollen of the two plants became mix
ed. Unfortunately the vines were
pulled up before the popularity of the
growth was noticed. Some of our
agriculturalisis may derive valuable
suggestion from this. As both the
potato and the tomato are of the So
hnacee family, it is not impossible
that one should be fortified by the
other, and remarkable economy Of
labor might be effected if careful and
scientific cultivation should produce a
plant which should bear good potatoes
at the roots and good tomatoes on the
tops. Springfield Mass Union.

The character OF the young men of
community depends much on that
of the young women. If the latter
are cultivated, intelligent, and accom-.

they themselves should be upright,
gentlemanly aud refined; but if their
female friends are frivolous and silly l.,
the young men will be found dissipa-
ted aud worthless. But remember,
always, that the sister is the guardian
of the brothers integrity. She is the
surest incubator of faith in female
purity and worth. As a daughter,
she is the light of home. The pride
of the father often centers in his sons,
but his affection is expended ON his
