sGetting a Dinner.
LYNN Transcript


A gentleman who had travelled about
pretty extensively was greatly perplexed to
understand how it was that other persons
were waited upon promptly and well served
at the hotels, while he was almost entirely
ignored and hardly able to get square meal
complain or swear at the walter as he
might. At last his eyes were opened
to the dodge of feeling the waiter
literally, and being of an in
genious turn of mind he determined to i'm
prove on the plan. The next hotel he dined
at he took his seat very pompously at the
table and took out well-filled pocketbook,
extracting therefrom a $40 bill, which he
laid on the white cloth beside his plate and
placed his goblet upon it. In an instant al
most he was surrounded by walters, who
seemed to vie with each other in attentions.
Every wish was anticipated, and all the deli
cacies of the season and pantrywere placed be-
fore him in tempting array. Having Jared
sumptuously as a prince Ito the envy of
many of the guests) he took up the green
back, and reckoning to the nearest waiter,
was Immediately besieged by half dozen or
30. Holding the bill in one hand, he
pointed to it with the other, and inquired
of the crowd:
do you see that bill?''
ooh, yes, sirl' they all exclaimed IN a
chorus.
Then take good look at it, for you will
never see it again" Saying which he de-
parted, leaving the walters aghast.

Counting in Church.

A young gentleman happening to sit at
church in a pew adjoining one in which
there was young lady, for whom he con-
ceived a sudden and violent passion felt de-
sirous of entering into a courtship on the
spot, but the place not suiting formal dec
laration, the exigency suggested the follow
ing plan: He politely handed his neighbor
a Bible open, with pin stuck in the fol-
lowing verse: Second Epistle of st. John,
verse Z, "And now beseech thee. lady, not
as though wrote new commandment I'M
to thee, bat that which we had from the be-
ginning. that we love one another" She
returned it with the following: Second
chapter of Ruth, 10th verse, Then she tell on
her face and bowed herself to the ground,
and said unto him, why have I found grace
In thine eyes, and thou shouldst take knowl.
edge of me, seeing me a stranger" He re-
turned the book, pointing to the 18th verse
of the Second Epistle of John, "Having
many things to write unto you, l would not
with paper and ink, but trust to come to
you and speak face to face" From the
above interview the marriage took place the
following week.

Sara Bernhardt on Morality.

There are only dozen words of English
among as many members of the French
troupe OF these Sara monopolizes the
following: "All-rai ght," "waiht-a minitt''
and between In her London sitting
room Sara has a skull on the table. A
friend of mine sent her some flowers. When
he called afterward she had thrust part of
them in Ito the eye sockets of the skull, and
the remainder were encircling the CHASTITY

incumbrance.

A Pleasing French Trait.

One of the most pleasing traits of French
character is the universal respect which
children pay to their parents. have often
noticed it, and it certainly deserves all
praise. 1t is curious feature in French
matrimonial arrangements, which affords
not little amusement to US Foreigners
that of asking the consent of ones parents,
and If they refuse, that man should have
to wait till he reaches his twenty-fifth year,
and then make three successive sommations
respectueuses or requests of his parents. or,
in case of their death, of his next of kin
uncle or older brother, or aunt, etc. That
would hardly suit Young Amerlca, / fancy
But its adoption might prevent some un
happy marriages

COMMERCIAL.

The business transacted in the wholesale
markets during the past week has been quite
good. Dealers as general rule feel good over
the prospects of a booming trade in the tall.
The crops of Indiana, especially wheat, has
been larger and of better quality this year
than for seasons past, and farmers in all parts
of the State are in the best of spirits. Quota
lions as general rule are undergoing but few
changes worthy OF note.

Orchard and Nursery.

EARLY apples, pears, etc, will be ready for
market. and we wish that every one who
sends fruit to distant markets could visit
the places to which his produce goes. He
would there learn by observation many
things which he can not otherwise find out.
1t would not take the watchful producer
long to see the importance OF carefully sort
ing his fruit He would learn that it is to
his profit to have in most cases at least three
grades, namely: Extra" mo. l." and a
third sort, unfit to send to market and only
TO be used for feeding out at home. In sea-
sons of scarcity third grade may be mar
keted near home, but usually it does not
paw.

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should bear
in mind that the dear inmates of her house
are more precious than many houses and
that their systems need cleansing by purify
ing the blood, regulating the stomach aud
bowels to prevent and cure the diseases
arising from spring malaria and miasma,
and she must know that there is nothing
that will do it SO perfectly aud surely as

cines. See other column.

THE MARKETs-wEEKL REVIEW.
Flour, Grain and Hay.

The flour market rules steady.
Wheat-The week opens with a depressed
feeling in the wheat trade, and lower prices at
all points, Chicago going Off more than 20
since Saturday. This is mainly owing to good
weather the past week, which matured the
spring wheat of the Northwest, which has now
but to be garnered safely, when we may rea-
sonabiy expect some further decline in conse-
auence. The movement here is large as
transportation will admit, and offerings are
free.
The corn market is lower and dull, except
white for which there is some demand.
Oats are lower, and the market dull.
Hay is in fair shipping demand.
Flour-We quote: New process, 70 eO97 90;
fancy, IS 5O05 IS; family, a 1896 90; low grades,
q 50@3 on.

Notes on Orchard and Garden Work.

Harvesting tie maturing crops, and weed
killing, are the chief occupations of the
month. The killing of weeds is of as much
importance now as earlier in the season, and
is mentioned with special emphasis, for the
reason that it is 30 often neglected. The
orchard, nursery, rows, and garden, are
often we'll titled during the spring and early
summer, but when August comes the weeds
too often have it all their own way. This Is
partly due to the pressure OF other work, but
frequently to negligence. Too often, as soon
as the crop is well on its way, the hoe and
rake are hung up, and the weeds take
possession of the ground and ripen their
seeds in abundance for the next seasons
trouble. Clean culture is not possible unless
the weeds are persistentIy killed throughout
the whole season.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1879-07-30

hear of frequent experiments In this direc-
tion. and these have generally turned out
satisfactorily. Cultivating or hoeing is easily
done by drilling the wheat IN 16lnch rows
by stopping every alternate spout. It is
not difficult to construct q simple
cultivator that will work the spaces
between the drills. There are two different
wheat hoes in the market that do the
work effectively. Wheat that is sown broad
cast can not be cultivated. This fact, and
the better condition of drilled wheat, should
be sufficient inducement to use the drill, If
the great saving of seed and the lessening OF
labor are not.

A Dastardly Lover.

Young ladies who think proper to
correspond with rejected lovers would
perhaps do well TO take hint from
the following curious case, which is,
however, authentic. Mile. Felicie
Maxy, who lives on the farm of Pen
tocote, on the Belgian flontier of
France, was on the point of being
married, when she received letter
from an old suitor asking her to re-
consider the matter, and send him an
immediate reply. A postage stamp
was gallantly 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 SO when she felt a
sharp pain. in her tongue, and in less
than no time that interesting men,
ber became horribly elongated and
inAamed and covered with noisome
sores. The disconsolate one, Alfred
Camin by name, a farmer at Pichon,
in the Nord, has been arrested, but
he declares that he used no noxious
drugs, but simply moistened corner
of the stamp with bis own lips-a
delicate way of stealing kiss. Such
is the state OF the case as it stands at
present, but the tale carries its own
moral. jng gg ~

= PETE8sBuRG, Va, May 30.-Ope OF
the strangest and most remarkable
cures that the people of Petersburg
has ever witnessed was that which
took place, at q ,colored baptizing in
this city on Sunday afternoon. Dur
ing the evening fifty-four candidates
were immersed, one of whom was a
deaf and dump mute named Barnwell
Lancaster, about 81 years of age,
who is quite highly educated, having
received his schooling at the college
for the deaf and dump in Providence,
r. I. After, being baptized by the
officiating minister, Rev. Henry Will
liams, pastor Of the GilGeld Baptist
Church in this city, the mute return
ed from the water cured ofhis inGrm-
tiles and gave vent to his feelings by
lusty shout Of "Thank God," when
he was again taken deaf and dumb.
10 say that tho spectators were con.
siderably amazed would but fecbly
express it, and no little copsterna-
ton was occasioned among the large
