promptly yesterday afternoon, Lucille
W., the fair and gentle hearted daugh-
ter of Colonel NJ. G. Galloway, chief
editor of the Appeal, was welded to
Mr., James V, Russell a very popular
and worthy young gentleman now and

Rev. H. A. Jones, of the Court Street

couple and the brides family witness
ed the marriage, both being extreme

tentation. The fair bride, one Of the
most beautiful Of the fair ladies Of our
city, and at the same time one of the
w%orthiest, has been the pride Of her
parents, while among those who know
her intimately she was esteemed as one
Of the sweetest and best of maidens.
She has joined hearts and hands with
a most worthy young eentleman-one
who possesses energy, enterprise, a
kindly nature, and who is certain to
make his beautiful wife a most excel
lent companion. Both are to be CON
graduated on their suspicious union,
and should health be vouchsafed to
them their future lives will surely
be happy and prosperous. Mr. and
Mrs. Russell were the recipients Of
numerous appropriate presents on the
occasion OF their marriage ceremony,
a pleasant as well as an unexpected
surprise to both, as their engagement
had been as quiet as was the wedding
ceremony. The newly-wedded couple
went to their future home in Arkansas
by the afternoon train, carrying the
congratulations Of many and the best
wishes for prosperity and a long, bliss
full life Of all who knew them.

A Burglar Story.

In Boston, early the other morning,
Mr.. Nicholas Halberg, of the carriage
firm Of johnson & Halberg, was wax
ened by hearing somebody in his bed
room. He saw three men and jumped
for them. Two grappled with him, and
they three rolled down stairs out into
the street, Mr.. Halberg carrying on the
fight in his night-shirt While they
fought out on the sidewalk, Mrs. Hal
berg ran out of the room and locked the
door, thus SHIFTING in the third burglar,
who was under the bed. She called for
her husband, who was fighting with the
original two and with a third man who
had joined them. Mr.. Halberg got
away and joined her, and got Ratchet,
with which he returned to settle with
his three foes and the fourth who had
jumped out of the window to the street.
Mrs. Halberg also participated, and the
two people in their night clothes were
dragged several hundred feet from
home. Finally three of the men de-
parted, and the fourth agreed to give
up to Mr.. Halberg the gold watch and
rings he had taken if the fight might
end. This was agreed to. and the fell
lows left. Mr.. and Mrs. Halberg went
home, the story spread, and by and by
man, all hacked with hachct blows
and lame from a leap from a window,
was found in the streets and on arrest
confessed. The Halberg family seems
to have the right sort of grit about it.
1t might be added that, during the
whole performance, no policeman APP
peared. .rr........ i'..s.i .

On d1e's land were returned to it the
oil you'd annually improve in fertility.
With ths fac; in view it is easy to un-
derstand that as a part, at east. OF each
crop annually remover plant-food
equivalent to that contained in the por-
ton of the crops carried off must be re-
fnrned to tie land TO secure its enduring
fertility. II has been practically dem
onstrated over and over again that the
roots of all plants, and especially the
rlegumes. have a power of acting as
chemical agents upon the mineral ele-
ments Of the soil in q manner which
renders them available as plant-food.
This, in part explains the desirable ef-
fects of the cultivation of peas, clover
and the Ike.
While the general principles here laid
down and already familiar to many
farmers are the same everywhere, their
application to practice must of neces-
sity vary with the differing circum-
stances surrounding individual farmers.
Certain practices which give admirable
results at the North may fail to be of
any avail at the South, and vice versa
Many of these differences farmers must
learn from experience, though much
knowledge may be gained by observa-
ton. The interchange of experiences
from all sections Of country through
journals devoted to the farmers inter-
ests, agricultural Stations aud farmers
clubs can not be too highly priced or
encouraged. Every farmer who takes
tho rr,u1,la N ,rnmulyota facts cnr,inr
into his own line and of general interest
is soon rewarded for that trouble by
some equally valuable fact, otherwise
unknown to him, from another farmer
whose opinions We're called out. maybe.

The slang Girl Not a Lay.


Mothers Of The old school look regret
the rising generation, for the sang .froid
of the girl of the period stands out in
unpleasant contrast with the modest
's,iavity of our grandmothers. Notwith-
-staBding-the painstakiRg attention given
10 deportment in public and private
schools. l.e girl of gentle manners, un-
marfed by ih-breeding and rudeness, is
the eXcepiion, and these faults are even
more prevalent among the high born,
than the lowly. At school the girl who
has the lrrgest stock of slang, can laugh
the loudcst, and has least respect for
either rules or propriety, is the most
popular, and is courted as the boon
companion and the jolly spirit. Most
girls like to be favOrites; the slangy
schoolmate is initiated. and a pert, I'M
couth style is thus developed to mar
through life a beautiful picture. Finish
ing schools and intercourse with refined
people, will, in a measure, tone down.
the coarseness, but it will be exhibited
sometimes. and upon occasions that
produce the greatest chagrin.
Foreigners claim that what they term
the self-reliance and impudence of
American girls come from the wide
liberty given them as TO appearing in
public. Native sentleness and modesty
are worn off by constant contact with
the rough edges of humanity. Ameri--
can girls abroad have certainly been
severely criticised for bad manners, and
not altogether unjustly; but the over
bearing snobbishness exhibited toward
us in return, as if we were Il race of In
dians, partly palliates the offense. 1t is
better for us, in orr cultivation of polite
ness, to study the manners and customs.
of our own country, than to ape foreign
airs, and cater TO foreign tastes. Ameri-
can girls would place themselves above
ali criticism, if they would but study
dignity of bearing, and mild, lady-like,
gentle ways. Music and the fine arts
are elevating, but French spoken with
the shrill, harsh voice of an apple
vender, and request for music an
swered with slang. force the nearer to-
the belief that the accomplishments
have been cultivated to the neglect of
good breeding.
Another main constituent of the make
up of real gentlewomau, is an even
temper. Tempers come by nature; but
they can be controlled like fine piano.
1t requires work, but it can be done by
careful, judicious, self-training. Some
one says that ga hot temper will make
greater havoc in household than a
kerosene explosion" But a sweet, well
governed temper, and the ability to
overlook mishaps without storm of
words, is like delightful perfume, re-
freshing and pervading the whole house.
What better time to resolve to try the
experiment of wearing the graces of a
gentle womanhood? Drop slang, study
refinement and polite bearing; and
above all set a close watch on your tenn
per. At the end of the year, you will
be amazed at the compliments You re-
ceive for being perfect gentlewoman,
and at the good influence you have ex-
erted upon others.-La,ad and Home.

WILD WOLE-DOGS.

The Missouri Republican tells of q
pack of strange animals that are ranging
the prairies Of the West: While our re-
porter was trading in the Yellowstone
valley in the summer of 1878, he met
small band of wild dogs, numbering about
a hundred They seemed to be cross
between the wolf and the spaniel, and
were about the size of Dick Adams long
haired little dog. In color they were Of
yellow brown, quite light and with sharp
pointed ears. We had frequently heard
of this pack, which in those days roamed
along the foothills between the Yellow
stone and the Missouri Rivers, but saw
them only once. They were very much
startled upon meeting our party, and
scampered away in every direction, until
gaining some distant promontory, from
which they watched us and keeping up a
continuous yelping and barking noise
Now we read in the North Platte paper
a pack Of wild wolfdogs, cf savage dis
position, in the wilds OF the Northwestern
Nebraska. About two years ago, the
writer says, two bulldogs, for some un-
known cause wandered from the ranch Of
Bratt & Co., near the head of Birdwood,
and Joined band of rowing wolves. They
did not return to the ranch, and have
lived with the wolves ever since. With
in the past year a species of half dog and
wolf has been infesting that section and
committing depredations. They possess
the cunning of the wolf combined with
the ferociousness and pluck of the bull
dog, and are consequently much more to
be dreaded than the common prairie wolf,
and are far more bold and savage in
their depredations upon the herds and
the belated traveller across the plains.
These wolfdogs, Or dog wolves, are sup
pesed to be the off-springs of the bulldogs
| alluded to. They are becoming quite
numerous and troublesome.
