Captain Jack Sturgis, whe lost his life

A Dastardly Lover.

Young ladies who think proper to cor.
respond with rejected lovers would per.
hsps do well to take hint from 1.-THE fol.
lowing curious case, VIII ich is, however,
authentic. Mile. Felicie Maxy, who
lives on the farm Of Pentecote, on the
Belgian frontier Of France, was on the
point of being married, when she received
letter from an old snitor asking her Ito
reconsider the matter, and send him an
immediate reply. A postage stamp was
gallsntly inclosed to defray the cost Of
transmission. The answer duly written.
Mile. Maxy applied the stamp to her
fair lips; but hardly had she done 90
when she felt ,harp pain In her tongue,
and in less than no time that interesting
member became horribly elongated and
inHsmed and covered with noisome sores.
The disconsolate one, Alfred Camin by
name, farmer at Pichon, in the Nord
has been arrested, but be declares that
he used no noxious drugs, but simply
moistened a corner of the stamp with his
own hps-a delicate way of stealing a
kiss. Such is the state of the case as il
stands at present, but the tale carries its
OWE moral.

A Blunder and Its Result.

During his fret visit to Paris, NJ. Las.
sale, the distinguished German socialist,
presented himself at the house Of a well.
known lady, to whom he had sent letters
of introduction in advance. When the
servant opened the door and received his
card she conducted him to the boudoir
and told him to be seated, saying:
"Madame will come Immediately"
Presently the lady entered. She was
in deshsbille and her feet were bare, GOV.
cred only with loose slippers. She bowed
to him csrelessly and said: "Ah, there
you are; good morning"
She threw herself on a sofa, Let fall a
slipper and reached out to Lassslle her
very pretty foot.
Lsssalle was naturally completely as
founded, but he remembered that at
his home in Germany it was the custem
sometimes to kis lsdy's hand, and he
supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss
her loot. Therefore, he did not hesitate
to imprint kiss upon the fascinating
foot 30 near him. but he could not avoid
saying 81 thank you, madame, Tor this
new method of making a lady's acqusint~
snce. II is much better and certainly
more generous than kissing the hand"
The lady jumped up, highly indignant.
"Who are you, sir, and what do you
mean?'
He gave his name.
You are not then corn doctorT
al am charmed to say, madame, that
l am not"
"But you sent me the corn doctors
card"
1t was.true. Lassslle in going out that
morning had picked up the card of a
corn doctor from his bureau and put it
in his pocket. This, without glancing
at, he had given to the servant, who had
taken it to her mistress. There was
nothing to do but laugh over the joke.

Lying Women.

Barren Huddleston, an eminent English
judge, recently took occasion to say from
the bench that it was an undoubted fact
that woman told lie very much bette
than did a man, and with very much
better effect. 1t was a remarkable cir
cumstance that when woman wss
determined 10 say what was untrue she
said it in much better manner than q
man. Whether this was due to a man
feeling that hi, dignity was to a certain
extent offended by recourse to untruth
he did not know that wss a metaphys
ical question into which he would not
enter but it was certain that a woman
told ssstory much more logically, and,
if it WAS untrue, held to i, much more
pertinsciouslv, and with much more the
appearance of truth, than msn could.

The O'BannOn Idyl.

Pressly O'Bannon was promising
young lawyer of Lesvenworth, Ind,
several years ago, with wife and two
children. He hsd many virtues and
one vice-a gnswing appetite for liquor.
One day he started to attend a meeting
five miles from home, but getting drunk
he wandered down to the river, got on
board steamer, and when he next came
to himself, week aiterward, he was
saving wood tor farmer in Illinois
He then determined that as he had dis,
graced himself, his wife and childlen,
he would never yeturn home and 80
settling down at Vienna, in Illinois, he
began the practice of his profession
under the name of Brown, abandoned
the Intoxicating bowl, became a promi.
nent member of the bar and finally
judge of the county court. The man
WAS base and weak enough to assume
relations with female who passed as
Mrs. Judge Blown. Finally a prisoner
brought before him discovered the miss
ing Lesvenworth lawyer in the person OF
Brown, the judge, and informed Mrs.
O'Bsnnon OF the whereabouts of her
husband. Great was the rejoicing in
the family; although on the day the
news came the wife, who had long be.
lieved herself to be a widow, wss to
have received $1,000 from policy OF
insurance upon her husbands life, he
having been given up for dead. The
father of Mrs. O'Bsnnon went to vi
emma and brought the long lost wan.
derer home. The wife received him
with open arms, all was joy in the
household, until O'Bannon or Brown
told the Mrs. Judge Brown part of The
story, when she fed from his presence al
she would from pestilence. That i,

A Death Struggle.
Baltimore Bulletin.


The eastern shore Of Maryland, by
virtue OF its many creeks and rivers,
has long been famous for its ducks.
Redheads and canvas backs abound, and
although those who live near the water
are blesed in season with an abundance
Of there delicious fowls, those living in>
land are not 30 fortunate, and oiten-
times purchase them At % high q price
as those who live in the city. Espe~
cially Is this the case in the interior in
the vicinity Of Centrsville, Queen Anne
county. There wild duck is estimated
. great rarity, although Aocks OF the
wild birds, in their migrations during
certain seasons Of the year, wing their
fight over the inland country, in sight,
but far beyond gun reach. Then, too,
they feed at certain times in the swamps
and open ponds, but the country game
laws prohibit their being bagged.
A gentleman In this neighborhood
(near Centreville) vouches for the fol-
lowing, which he himself witnessed,
He says: 81 and my son were standing

circling and dsrting hither and thither.
We watched closely, and after awhile
they approached more nearly the earth.
We then discovered that they were two
ducks and a bald eagle, the eagle
endesvoring to capture the ducks, and
the ducks exerting themselves to elude
their pursuer. Far away in the distance
We could discern the main flock, from
which the two ducks had been separated,
flying steadily to the cover OF the forest.
The eagle would pounce upon one and
then relinquish 1t, in order to capture
the other. That was kept up for some
time, when the eagle, suddenly darting
forward, struck one of the birds with his
tslons, then swooping upon tn. other,
struck that too. The first bird fell at
our feet /; we had hardly time to pick it
up when the other fell, with the eagle
following. We picked up the second
one, and the eagle ob.ei wing our prese nee
flew screaming away. On examination
it was fou I'd the eagle had struck tie
ducks on the head, nearly serving the
heads from their bodies. They were fine
sized canvas backs, and we had them
cooked for dinner" The witnesses of the
affair are persons OF undoubted veracity.

Ia Possibilities Of American agricul-
tuzs en- b best appreciated BY review
ing ths fhcts that the area Of arabic lands
IN The United States exceeds l 800, ,000,.
800 square miles, while the area At pres
s.t under cultivation IL ettimatsd to be
l74,900, 900 acres, or less than 276, 900
square miles. II IL probable that the
uext census will show . valuation of
farms sxsseding I'll, 900, 900, 900, and an
annual production of $4,000, 600, ,000
Ths fact that more than one-half of all
our people Who arc engaged In the ordi-
nary pursuits Of life are directly en-
ployed In agriculture is at once sufi>
cisnt evidsnce Of its universally and
importance.
In the year 1877 9 there were 81 ,o0S. 900

100000 bushsls; S2,2os,0oo in wheat,

lS,l76, 900 In oats, giving All S55, 600

crop Of ~. 600, 900 bushels; 1921 900 in
rye. With %, 800, 900 bushels, and 67S,0O0
acsss In buckwheat, yielding = product
Of 1887 900 bushels. Thus the total
cereal production for 1878 was 1884,
902, 900 bushels, raised on 100, ,476 900
acres, while In 1874 the total crops were
but l.454, ,ls0, 200 bushels; in 1876,
1861. .s2l. 800, and in 1877, 2,l7s, 1884. Gas
bushels. The future increase in the
farm productions Of this country will
result largely from improved systems of
cultivation, - well a. from extended
areas under the plow. A system Of
agriculture presents but little to be
proud Of which averages to the acre over
the whole country yield Of but twelve
bushels of wheat, less than twenty.
seven bushels Of corn, and only twenty.
eight bushels Of oats. Compared with
what modern agriculture Is capable OF in
this direction, 1t is not too much to
sfirm that our farm crops, even on
their present area, may be doubled in
quantity.
