PRoPAGATING PLANTS BY CUTTINGS

PRoPAGATING PLANTS BY CUTTINGS
The season is approaching when this

wishing to do so. The class of plants
capable of increase by cutting is very
large, including, among trees. catalpa,

by telegraph one day last week. Three
years ago Wheeler Ellis, a young,
poor, and Woodworking mechanic, left
Washington for the Far West to seek
his fortune, leaving behind lovely
and lonely maiden to await his coming
ut some future time, when his finances
would admit of marriage. This time
had come this week, but on account of
business engagements, the young man
found he could not make the trip East.
A friend arrived from Colorado, and
wished to take the young woman West
with him, where the marriage ceremony
was to be performed. But her mother
would not consent Her daughter
must be married first before she set
out. The girl had waited long already,
and nothing but distance seemed to
stand in the way. At the suggestion
of the Rev. George Carpenter the tele
graph was called into service. This
calmed the old lady's objections and
the preacher performed the ceremony.
No cards. The only spectators were
friend or two. From the time of the
first message till the young man an
swered the solemn 81 do, was some
thing over four hours. The bride

her husband in the Far West. What

Uses of the Horse in South America.

The following is an extract from the
letter of lady residing at Buenos
Ayres: You see that we are now at
Mercedes. On our way out we noticed,
from the railway station, great num-
Der of horses; not grazing, as they may
be seen anywhere, nor trying to run
races with the train, as they may be
seen any day, but with an important,
business like look about them. There
were few Guachos standing near
them, who also appeared to have some
thing to do, which is an unusual thing
with the natives, who seem always as if
they had never done anything and
never intended to do anything. In re-
ply to our inquiry, we were told tina.
the horses had just been threshing; that
the sheaves of corn are put into an in
closed place like q pen, and the widest
come atable horses are driven in and
dashed to make them kick and jump
and so the wheat is threshed.
1.-The horse" says MAYORS Spelling
book, sis very useful ANIMAL but
surely none but the Guachos know its
value. When the milkman comes in
the morning ard is asked for the butter
ordered. he will perhaps say that he has
not made it yet. Back he Chambers on
his horse, where he sits surrounded by
his milk cans, and on he trots. Pres
entity he dismounts, opens his cans,
skins the butter OFT the top of each,
puts it into cloth, mounts again, and
trots about selling his milk as he goes
al ng. After few hours he returns
and hands IN the butter; and not bad
butter either when it is sailed and set
tied up.

places, consequently the scholars are also
dropping off. There were only fourteen
hundred present yesterday.

MIDNIGHT MURDER.
James Dedman Stabbed To Death by
Louis Hagen.

A few minutes after midnight this morn
ing James Dedman was stabbed to death by
Louis Hagen at George Waldeman's saloon'
two and three-fourth miles back of Coving-
ton, KY, on the Independence Pike. The
two men had been engaged for some time
in an exciting game Of cards, which finally
terminated in a misunderstanding and a
war of words.
Dedman, it is alleged, put his hand behind
him in a threatening manner remarklng,
"Tll fix him." whereupon Hagen drew
knife and stabbed his antagonist twice.
Dedman fell heavily and expired in few
moments, before surgical assistance ar
rived.
The real trouble seems to be, according to
Hagen's story, that Dedman, Hagen and
Ed. Wolf were engaged in social game OF
euchre, when Dedman accused Hagen OF
not discarding properly. Hagen claimed
that he did, when Dedman called him "a
lying son of -" and at the same time
jumped from his chair and said "Pll fix
YOU" and started towards him with his
hand ON his hip-pocket He advanced on
young Hagen, who warned him to keep
his distance.
But Dedman did not seem to pay any at
tention to young Hagen, for he advanced
to within reaching distance with his hand
still in a threatening attitude, when Hagen
pulled his knife and stabbed him three
times-once in the arm, once on the lett OF
the sternum, below the shoulder blade.
and once on the right of the neck, above
the shoulder blade, the last stroke proving
