The HOOsier Farmer.

At an Indiana State fair the observer
sees all sorts of curious people. The
daughters of the wealthy farmers are
present. stylishly dressed and self-pos-
sessed in manner, well aware that they
come from the first people of the State.
The tall, broad-shouldered Hoosier far
mers examine everything with keen in
telhgence, but with the slow look OF
county folk who cannot see objects at
glance, but look hard at a thing to take
it in. The dark Hoosier wives have
quiet, unhurried manner, and gentle
voices without the nasal twang, thank
Heaven. Here and there among them is
the old man who has cut three farms out
of the green woods. He is a progressive
old fellow, and Justly proud of himself.
But most interesting are the poor people
from. Dogtown, ''The little town of
Tailholt," and from '''the. crawfsh
lands" the wet lands of Indiana. They
are dressed in thick woolen hats and
woolen clothes; the further you go south
the more cordially do the men hate straw
hats and linen coats. They look worn
out, ground out, broken and cracked to
the very marrow on the wheel of priva-'
ton, and they are. tanned, weather
beaten, bespotted with exposure, yet 1t
is because they are too lazy to make
themselves comfortable. At their doors
are all the elements of luxury and wealth
the best brick clay for houses in, the
world, and the best walnut for furniture,
| the best kaolin for porcelain, the best
flax, and sheep, if their dogs did not de-
your them, for clothes. Theyare round
| shouldered, lean and uncomfortable with
| laziness, in hot climate as elsewhere
| laziness being one of the discomforts of
| life. But they have content, that virtue
| of low capacity; the men who cannot
plow one hundred acres is content with
one. Had they the energy of the in
habitants of our great northwestern en-
pire they might live in magnifcence.
| City roughs, fashily dressed, hurry
about with characteristic recklessness.
| Plenty of negroes besprinkle the crowd.
Occasionally you see homesick immi-
| grant not long from Castle Garden. He
longs for his native hills and air, and
finds no comfort in this strange land. As
an offset to the homesick one comes a
| woodcarver who has been to his old home
in Switzerland for his health, this sum-
mer, and has just got back. He says
! the people at home are doing nothing
but living, and he is glad to get back
where there is plenty of sky once more.
By-and-by the homesick one will share
his views, and write to his people al
home to DIN him in this fair Eldorado.-
Exchange.

Ministerial Jokes.

The following story is told by the VIC
tim himself, well known Boston min
lister, part of whose official duty is to
preach in different pulpits in behalf of a
society for the relief of the poor. This
he does with success, seldom failing to
bring tears from the eyes and money
from the pockets of his hearers by har-
rowing descriptions of destitution and
misery. One Sunday, after he had done
his very best in this line, and was leaving
the meeting house, a gentleman ac-
costed him with the remark, evidently
made in all innocence, 81 declare, Mr.
W., those were very sad stories you told,
and I suppose most of them sOeie true.
g. OF course there are some of us who are
70 trife bored when compelled to listen
ID second time to the same sermon. The
weariness would be little alleviated if
mpeaters would bear in mind the remark

A Good Dog Story.

A correspondent Of the Spectator
writes that this story Of dogs sagacity
may be relied upon as true: During the
meeting of the British Association at
Glasgow, friend of mine had occasion
to go one day from that place to Green
ock on business. Hearing, on his ar
rival, that the person he wished to see
was out, but expected shortly to return
home, he determined to take stroll
about the town, to which he was
stranger. In the course of his walk he
turned into bakers shop and bought
bun. As he stood at the door of the
shop eating his bun large dog came up
to him and begged for share, which he
got and seemed to enjoy, coming back
for piece after piece. "Does the dog be-
long to you? ?" my friend asked of the
shop woman. "No," she answered, s'but
he spends most of time here, and begs
half pennies from the people who pass.
FHalf- pennies What good can they do
him ?" 'tOh, he knows very well what
to do with them; he comes into the shop
and buys cakes p a
/ This seemed rather a remarkable in
stance of cleverness even for the clever
est of animals; so, by way of testing its
reality, my friend went out OF the shop
into the street, where he was immediate
ly accosted by the dog, who begged for
something with all the eloquence Of
which dog is capable. He offered him
a half penny and was rather surprised to
see him accept it readily and walk with
the. air of a regular customer into the
shop, where he put his fore paws ON the
counter and held out the half-penny to-
ward the attendant. The young woman
produced bun, but that did not suit the
dog, and he held his money fast. ''Ah, /"
said she, 'I know what he wants, and
took down from shelf plate of short
bread. This was right; the dog paid his
half-penny, took his short-bread and ate
it with decarous satisfaction. When he
had quite finished he left the shop, and
my friend, much amused, followed him,
and when he again begged, found an
other half-penny for him, and saw the
whole process gone through second
time.
THIS dog clearly had learned by some
means the use of money, and not merely
that it would buy something to eat, but
that it would buy several things, among
which he could exercise right of choice.
What is perhaps most remarkable is that
his proceedings were entirely independ-
ent, and for his own benefit, not that Of
any teacher OF master.

Creeping Things.

The sight Of certain creatures is
enough to give us Crawling" sensa-
ton. Bare memory of them must be
enough to any person who has travelled
in Australia. Jesse Young, the explorer,
talks very coolly, however, about the
bug and snake creation in that queer
cline. He says: 90
: The reptiles are really beautiful;
crocodiles in the North, and snakes, liz
ards, scorpions, and centipedes in the
South. 1 shall not readily forget the
sensation I experienced when one night
huge black centpede, eight inches
long, crawled upon my neck with his
horrible sixty-four legs, and made his
way to my feet lesiurely, much to my
disgust, and though he was probably
only few seconds, I thought him slow.
He is in the museum at Adelaide, with
all the whisky he can drink. a { "a. sss

Spiders are very common, as also are
ants, the tarantula being the most
formidable. of the former, and the
bulldog ant the worst species o.
the latter. These ants are an inch o,
more in height, and about two inches
long They all fight fiercely, and theil
sting is not at all to, be desired. They
catch hold of your skin with their nip
pers, bend the body under like scor
pion, and put the sting gently in, leav
ing the venom, and sometimes the sting
itself. When camping near nest O.
them, we generally thrust fre-stick in
the hole, which has the effect Of keeping
them at home.

0Tha Mad POet.N

Such was the name given to McDon-
aid Clarke, a wild, eccentric writer of
verses, who lived in the city of New
York some thirty years ago. He had
talent for improvisation, which he used
to celebrate the charms of those persons
of whom, from time to time, he became
enamored
A volume of his poems, published by
subscription, contains in the preface
these touching paragraphs:
won't poster folks with apologies.
Here's rough handful of fowers-a
little dirt about the roots-a tear'll wash
it off
eff the life of my poetry is whole
some, twill breathe after the wild spirit
that inspired it has been sobered at the
terrible tribunal of eternity, and the
weak hand that tracedit, long wasted to
ashes"
In one of these wild moods which
frequently came upon him, when the will
to be sublime was not sustained by the
strength, he wrote these lines on Wash
ington:
sa Eternity-give him elbow room;
q spirit like his is large;
Earth-fence with artillery his tomb,
And fire double charge,
~ To the memory of Americas greatest man;
Match him, posterity, if you can."
He was regularly attendant on Sun
day church services, and in one of his
lucid moods wrote this tender, simple
tribute to the Sabbath:
az feel the happier all the week,
Ifmy foot has pressed the sacred aisle,
The pillow seems softer to my cheek;
sink to slumber with a smile;
With sinful passions cease to fight,
And sweetly dream on Sunday night" =.
He died in the lunatic asylum on
Blackwell's Island, and was buried in
Greenwood Cemetery. Speaking of the
arrangements he desired made for his
funeral, he said: @T&
I IT hope the children will come.
want to be buried by the side'of Children.
Four things I am sure there will be in
heaven-music, flowers, pure air and
plenty of little children" 3f9ta

The details are as follows: Mr.. Brown Riding,
young man raised in the neighborhood,
married and built house near his parents.
His family consisted of his wife, and daughter,
two years old. Saturday night two men, giving
their names as Miller, called and asked to stay
all night. The evening being SO disagreeable
they were permitted to remain and occupied a
bed in the same room with the family, it being
the only one where there was fire place.
About II O'Clock flames from the little cottage
attracted the neighbors, who found the house
$50 far consumed when they arrive at the
.scene that nothing could be done toward
