SENATOR BLAINE has an excellent
memory. While Secretary Sherman
was speaking at Waterville few days
ago, Blaine was moving around in the
crowd, when somebody said: "Senator,
| want to introduce you to Mr.. Ferge-
SON." "Why p exclaimed Blaine,
heartily grasping the farmer by the
hand, II don't need to be introduced
to Mr.. Fergeson unless he has forgot
ten me. The last time | saw YOU"
he continued, squirting his eye up at
the farmer in way that is peculiar to
him, "you drove me with your team
across from Albno to Waterville, and
mighty good team you had. Did
you ever break that off horse o. jump
ing? Let's see, that was in 1863.
I'll never forget that ride. How are
Mrs. Fergeson and the girls Did
that boy Of yours ever make out any
thing with his patent Z" The Ferge-
son family is solid for Senator Blaine
for next year.

Sayages and Regular Armies.

The experiences of the United States
forces in the far West and of the French
armies in Algeria are shared by the
British in South Africa and Afghanis-
tan and by the Russians in Turkistan.
A well drilled tribe of hardy fighters,
with chief having military skill, can
nearly always teach a regular army that
they are not to be.dispised. What Abdel
Kader was to the French and Sitting
Bull to the United States, Cetewayo has
been to the British. The defeat of Lord
Chelmsford was almost the counterpart
of the defeat of Gen. Custer. The de-
feat of the Russians by the Teke Turco-
mans was probably due to the same
cause.-the natural contempt of regu-
lar soldier for an irregular, savage foe.
Yet these Teke Turcomans are by no
means to be despised. They are brave
to fault, they are the best horsemen in
the world, and they have kept up their
fighting qualities since the days of Tam
erlane and Genghis Khan, when they
overran half of the Eastern continent

Under the Wave.

UUueT UHe VHNes
Under the wave the pearl shines bright;
Peerless and pure in the light OF the day,
Under the dreary wave,
Under the weary wave
Hidden away.
Under the wave the coral climbs irailly,
Safe from the rush of the raging commotion,
Under the dashng wave,
Under the crashing wave,
Deep in the ocean.
Under the wave the reeds grow tall,
Dreamy the motion of sea-weed and willow,
Under the toling wave,
Meath the receding wave,
Under the bilow.
Under the wave the anemone grows;
Fearless and trail in its innocence thriving
Under the rocking wave,
Under the mocking wave
Patiently striving.
Under the waves there is peaceful calm,
Restful and still without ripple or motion,
Under the bowling waves,
Under the growing waves,
Lies the great ocean.
God looketh down from His throne in the
heavens,
Sees not the ocean, as we do, in part
Judgeth it not by its changeable surface,
But under the rumbling waves,
Under the tumbling waves,
Under the grumbling waves,
Sees its pure heart.
-.Annie Deane, in Portland Transcript.

What a Single Bean Can Produce.

The history of single bean, acci-
dentally planted in garden at South
bridge, Mass, is traced by a newspaper
correspondent, who figured out its pro-
duce for three years. The bean was
planted in rich, loamy soil, and when
gathered in the autumn its yield, as
counted, twas l,5l5 perfectly developed
beans from single stalk. Now, if a
single bean produces l,5l5 beans, and
each bean produces l,5l5 more, the sum
total of the second years product would
be 1895, ,225, equal to l,l95 pounds, 597
quarts, OF 1880 army rations, equal to
eighteen and five. eighths bushels. This
would be the product of the second year.
Now, if we plant this product and the
yield is the same, we have product of
5,26s, ,O58, 800, ,625 beans, equal to l,37l,-
500 tons, or 42,67l, ,572 bushels, or 54s,-
756,O6S soldiers rations. This third
planting would give the steam ship
Great Eastern ninety-two full freights. v
Few beans, however, start SO well as
this one did.

History of a Singular Murder.

The escape of VIM. d. Kipgin from the
State prison, and his voluntary return,
says the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Eagle,
will recall to manv in the county one of
tie most singular tragedies ever enacted
in this part of the State. Kingin and
Barber were neighbors, and on perfectly
friendly terms with each other. Kingin
was man highly respected, and when
the news of his crime spread through the
community the feeling of horror at the
deco was fully rivaled by the utter
establishment that he should kill man.
Barber was town treasurer, and had held
that Office for several terms, which
shows the estimation in which he was
held. They started together early one
morning from Barber's house in Algoma,
in this county, to come to Grand Rapids.
Barber's chief errand was to pay to the
county treasurer some moneys that he
lad collected. Kingin had an ak on his
shoulder. AS he told the story after he
was convicted, at the time of receiving
his sentence, no thought of committing
such a bloody deed had previously en-
tered his mind. But the thought sud-
denly occurred to him, as they were
how easily he might knock Barber down
money. Kingin dropped little behind
and struck Barber with the AK. A sin
gle blow accomplished the terrible deed,
crushing through the skull of his vic
tim. Kinein threw the AK to one side,
and pursued his journey until overtaken
by some neighbors, who had discovered
the dead body of Barber. He went back
with some one to the fatal spot. There
was n little snow on the ground the
tracks were traceable, the ak was found,
and the proofs were so conclusive that
the conviction of Kingin was easy at the
trial. He has been in State prison up
ward of twenty years.

A RHYME of the Time.

Miss Pallas Eudora Won Blurky
She didn't know chicken from turkey;
High Spanish and Greek she could fluent
speak,
But her knowledge of poultry was murky.
She could tell the great uncle of Moses,
And the dates of the wars OF the Roses,
And the reason of things-why the Indians
wore rings
In their red, aboriginal noses!
Why Shakespeare was wrong in his grammar,
And the meaning of Emerson's Brabma."
And she went chipping rocks with a little
black box
And a small geological hammer.
She had views on co education
And the principal needs OF the nation,
And her glasses were blue and the number
she knew
OF the stars in each high constellation,
And she wrote iu a handwriting clerky,
And she talked with an emphasis jerky,
And sh painted on tiles in the sweetest OF
styles;
But she didn't know chicken from turkey!

Scared Out Of Her Head.

A curious case of complete alopecy is
reported in a French medical paper. A
girl aged seventeen, who had always en-
joyed good health, had one day narrow
escape from being crushed by floor
giving way beneath her. She was very
much frightened, and the same night
began to complain of headache and
chills. The next morning she felt rest
less and had irritation of the scalp. Dur
ing the following days she steadily i'm
proved, with the exception of the irrita-
tion. One day in combing her hair she
noticed that it came out in great guam
titles. Five days later she had lost all
her hair. Her general health was good.
The patient remained bald, and was
still SO when seen two years later by the
reporter.

Caring HydrOphObia by Force of Will.

1t will not do to say that hydrophobia
is always II disease of the imagination |;
but that it is sometimes such, and that
it may be controlled and cured by the in
fllence of the mind over the body, would
appear to be proved by the following in
teresting case related in recent article
in the CornhiH Magazine
Andrew Crosse, the electrician, had
been bitten severely by cat, which on
the same day died from hydrophobia.
He seems resolutely to have dismissed

panied by great thirst. He called for

A dreadful story Is reported from
France. A young sportsman went shoot
ing. In wood he met charming young
girl, the daughter of a neighboring
farmer. Falling into conversation with
her he set his gun up against tree, and
sat down himself on knoll with the
fair ench@ntress. The girls father going
by that way saw the loving couple, crept
up softly through the wood behind them,
seized the lovers gun and-disappeared
with it
