Boots in MelOdrama.

A strolling troupe announced "La Tour de Nesle D for their last perform ance. An overflow resulted. The actors were in high spirits, and full of fun. Mile. Schneider, discovering an old pair of russet bo ots behind the scenes, put them, by way of joke, into the hands of Burido7a as he was going on the stage. Accepting of the awk- ward handful, he placed the boots on a table on the stage and quietly went through his part when another actor took possession, and made his exit with one under each arm. In the next act, Marguerite de Boaugogne entered car rying the mysterious boots and passed them to Gaultier d. Aulney he turned them over to Orsiaai; in short, before the curtain fell, the boots, though for eign to the piece, had been borne in succession by every parsonage. The audience watched for their appearance ; while wondering what it all meant, and applauded them to their hearts content. Twelve months afterward7 another com pany set up their bills, and "La Tour de Nesle" attracted everybody to the theatre; but before the first act was over there was symptoms of displeasure, which gradually increased, until the up- roar was so great that the curtain fell on a half-p]ayed piece; benches were torn up, lights put out, and only the arrival of the Mayor at the head of 8 troop of soldiers put an end to the tumult. Then the Mayor turned on the poor manager, who protested his inability to under stand how the riot came about. That is all nonsense," returned the Mayor. "Your conduct is disgraceful. You have misled the public and mutilated g masterpiece. Where are the boots ?"

A Mammoth Farm.

A correspondent of the Troy Times, travelling in Dakota, writes from Fargo, a town, he says, now only eight years old, containing 5000 inhabitants, de- scribing the cultivated farm of William Dalrymple, containing an undivided es- tate of 50,000 acres, extending twelve miles along the fertile bottom lands of a most beautiful river, and then back into the interior eleven miles more, the whole covering an area of over thirty square miles.
 Of this, 10000 acres were last year sown in wheat, which has yielded 250, 900 bushels as a reward for the hus- bandman's toll. The ,il of this Red River farm is peculiarly rich, and adap- ted to the production of just the cereal cultivated. The upper surface is an al- luvial deposit of great fertility, under which is deposit of mari, containing in large quantities the phosphates and silicates needed in the formation of the berry and the stalk of wheat.
 Of course it would be impossible to operate such farm from one headquar- ters, so the land is apportioned into sub- divisions of 2,O0O acres each, every one of which is presided over by superin. tendent, who is under the direction and orders of the owner. Each chief over seer has @ nice house, in most cases handsomely fitted up, and finished, 1T several instances, in most excellen l. taste. Near the superintendent's house is the hands clearinghouse, where al | the harvesters board. Back of thes' buildings are located the granaries ant stables, and, little further removed the machine shops, engine rooms, ant windmills. All the buildings follow plain but quite attractive style of archi lecture, and answer every purpose in tended. Each subdivision has the sam set of buildings, and is operated in quit the same way.
 To run the farm it requires the SCI vices of 450 men and over 300 horses an mules; to keep the accounts, thre bookkeepers and two cashiers are kep constantly busy. Water is pumped b windmills several miles back into tn interior from the river. Seventy-6v reapers and binders are used in the hal vest, and pile up yellow sheaves at tn rate of 1000 acres per day. During tn entire harvest season last year they vel
 retarded only one half day by inclen
 ent weather. The grain is separate
 from the straw by eighteen stea1
 thrashers, which puts it in the bins the rate of 1,COO bushels per day.

A Russian Nihilist.

Of the late Czar Nicholas, "A Rus sian Nihilist" tells. in Tue North American ReUieaU striking story. A young student, relative of the writer, had with few friends formed literary society in which the works of contempo- rary political economists, publicists and philosophers were read and debated. The secret police denounced this society as revolutionary organization, and the young student was imprisoned and sent to Siberia. All possible influence was brought to bear upon the Czar, but ill vain, and at last the young mans mother, meeting the Czar one day in the Sum- mer Garden, knelt and implored her sons pardon, asserting his innocence. The Czar seemed touched, end promised to give the youth personal interview. The latter was brought to his Majesty the next day, and the Czar, forcing him to his knees before an image of the Saviour, exclaimed "Can you swear before the Almighty God that neither you nor your associates had any criminal design against my life? Gan you swear that you believe in the holiness and eternity of the Russian autocracy ?'' The surprised prisoner answered: "I can swear to your majesty that neither I nor any of my friends had the re- motest idea against our safety. As to the autocratic form of government. ] cannot conscientiously swear that I be. lieve in its eternity. The history ot other countries teaches us that the time must come, even in Russia, when the people themselves will take part in its government" The Czar tenderly em braced the student, and, giving him { ring drawn from the Imperial finger said 'This is token of respect from your Czar. You have been sincere ant I truthful to me, and there is nothing hate so much as he." He then ap preached the table where lay the stu dents sentence of exile, and with on' stroke of the pen-signed the paper
 "I pity you from the bottom of m. heart," he said "you are an homes man, and an honest man, true to hi convictions, is more dangerous to auto cracy than an unprincipled rascal Therefore, I must punish you, thougl never was this duty more painful to m than now. God bless you, my son, an' judge me mercifully if I should appea to be in the wrong." Then once nor embracing the student, he dismisse him to Siberia.

For the nine months of the year 1878 England was obliged to import 42, 182, 1O2 hundred weight of wheat, amounting to 7S,OOO,OOO bushels. Of the 42,00O,00O hundred weight over 25,OOO,O 900 hundred weight came from the United States, thus opening most important market for this country. Russia furnishes over seven million hundred weight; Germany four millions; Canada about two millions, and the balance was divided among various countries of the old world. What 8 wonderful change is going on in the matter of trade. Formerly England took little besides cotton and provisions from us, and sent us back almost every thing we used i1 the way of iron, steel, &c. Now we not only send cotton, provisions of all kinds, grains, &c., but we are competing successfully with England in the manufacture of the very goods that we had to purchase from her. What the final result of all this will be for Great Britain is subject creating most serious thought on the part of her statesmen.
 The liquor traffic is so immense that it's statistics are interesting, although at times mortifying. It is said by those who know that the grog shops (we be- lieve they are called "hotels" now) of New York city, if placed side by side and two stories high, would fill both sides of Broadway from the Battery to year there were consumed 88, 436, ,654 1 gallons of spirits, wines and beers, and in the United States 73, ,O32, 976 gallons. As the people of the United States drink more spirits and less ales and wines than do those of Great Britain we consumed | (reducing ales and wines to alcohoD 30, 429, 1885 gallons of alcohol and they p, 822,272. The quantity of "domestic wines and brandies" consumed in the two countries cannot be included in the above, as the quantities are not stated, but the Americans spend nearly. three times as much money on these liquors as they do in England. It is sad story of money squandered and health wasted.
 The London Telegraph is one o1 the most successful newspapers in ex istence. The office is valued at $5, ,0O0,. 900, and gives its proprietors net in come of $500,000 year. Its first mum Der was issued in June, 1855, and it wal and is a penny paper (two cents), while the established papers were then six pence (twelve cents) each. The origina tor of the paper possessed but & feV hundred dollars, and this was soon ex hausted in his new enterprise. He wal in debt to his partner and to his inl maker, and was obliged to turn the pa per and its good will over to them tt i pay his debt. Both were doing 6 imi I ted business with limited capital, ani looking upon the paper as something o an elephant, were disposed to sell it The fact that nobody would buy mad them keep it, and the result was for tune for both. It took some little tim' to educate the people of London to
 penny paper, but they finally forgo their preiudices, and the paper is nov the most profitable of any in the world

Damages by SnOwdrifts.

I have been looking over the nursery and orchard to see what damage was likely to occur from the almost unpre- cedented drifting of the snow by the recent gales. Bushes and young trees in the nursery rows cause the d fitting snow to form banks where otherwise there would be none thus only the tips of the raspberry canes and the young trees can in many cases be seen. Were the ground weedy or grassy, should expect mice would form runa. ways under the banks and feed on the bark of the trees, but as. this is not the case I have little fear, except on the outskirts, where fences have provided harbor. Blackcap raspberry and black berry canes, young peach trees, ever, greens and low-growing shrubs will be broken seriously if under the drifts when they melt and settle. Those who have valuable shrubs thus imperilec should remove the snow about them al once. Nurserymen often lose largely il this manner, for it is hardly possible te remove the drifts from acres. The rec raspberries, having no side branches, ar' less liable to injury, and the tende sorts will receive needed protection from the snow. Strawberries are no often damaged by drifts. It is polio. to plant them adjoining the east side Q block of nursery trees or raspberries for with us the snow is two feet deel two rods distance along that side, whil at the ends the snow is swept clean. notice in the wheat stubble not pasturet the snow is just as deep as tho stubbl is high, while in stubble pastured ant beaten down by stock the ground i bare, to the detriment of the young clo yer. It may not be known to all tha drifts near stonewall fences will not b so deep if the rails are laid down. l the wall is low only the top rail will re 1 quire removal. The "oldest inhabi tant hereabout/ has not known tn snow to drift to such an extent as with in the past few weeks. However, on feels much better during these old-fash toned winters. Chas. A.

Ivan of Russia.

When Peter III. ascended the throne he had the curiosity, disguised and &C., companied by one or two other persons, to visit Ivan. The visit was made in great secresy. The captives condition had been altered for the better short time before, and the visitors found him sitting in cell, simply, but cleanly dressed. The Czar asked him who he was he answered:
 "I am Czar Ivan VI."
 And when he inquired how he knew that, he said his parents had told him and when he spoke of his parents tears streamed from his eyes. In all his long years of degradation and misery he had not forgotten them. He also said that he remembered that when he was with them one of their keepers, named Korf, was very kind, and did all in his power to make them happy. On hearing this, Korf, who was one of the visitors, was obliged to retire lest his emotion should betray him. The result of this visit was to increase the comforts of the poor cap- tive.
 But when, few months after, Peter III. was deposed and killed, and the Czarina Catherine IT. reigned in his place, she became uneasy about Ivan, and a plot was formed to compass his death. In the same chamber where Ivan was confined were two officers, who had orders to kill him should an attempt be made to effect his release. Such an at tempt was made, to which it IS supposed the Czarina was privy.
 On the 4th of July, 1764, an offieel and fifty soldiers forcibly entered th' fortress, and making their way to thu chamber of Ivan, demanded his release at the same time trying to batter dowl the door. Hearing the tumult, the tw' officers inside immediately drew thei swords and fell furiously upon the help less prisoner. Ivan fought for life witt all the energy of despair ; at first he i'm plored for mercy, then, though unarmed he struggled feroely. He attempted t. seize the sword of one of his assailants and though wounded and h1s poor hand dreadfully cut, succeeded, and broke in two pieces across his knee; but whil doing this, the second stabbed hir through the back from behind, when h fell and was quickly dispatched.

A Professional Beggar's Tricks.

A fellow was discharged from the Hartford jail on Saturday who gave an interesting exhibition of his skill as @ contortionist and sham cripple.
 Taking off his coat he doubled one arm close up to the shoulder then put on his coat, and he had all the appear ance of man who had lost one of his arms; nothing less than an actual ex- animation could have detected the trick. A twist of the arm and it came up part way to the shoulder, every joint of the wrist and fingers being out of place, and giving the hand a shocking appear ance. A jerk of the leg, and it ap. peared turned almost around and con- siderab1y bent another wriggle, and he had deformed shoulder Thus fixed he started around the room, twist. ing himself along, figure that would excite the sympathy of any kind. hearted person.
 He could distort his face, turn up his eyes in way to look like a helpless affliction of those organs and make that part of his body correspond to the shocking figure described. He tolc those present how he had imposed upor the charitable. One lady had actually fed him with bread and milk from { spoon, supposing he could not raise hi crippled arm to his mouth, and sent hin off with nine dollars in his pocket as hel contribution to his deplorable condition A railroad conductor, taking compassion on him, passed him free for nearl, two hundred miles, and at the end O the route gave him one dollar.
