A Sharp Question by the President.

"There is good story told of the
President" says the Washington Star.
in connection with the recent appoint
ments made to fill vacancies In the
United States army. A gentleman who
is distinguished in social life was ex-
tremely anxious to have the son of a
warm friend designated for one of the
vacancies. He called upon the Presi-
dent and made known his request. sYOu
see, Mr.. President said he in advocating
the young mans claim, Ibis father is a
distinguished ex-army officer. His great
grandfather was a gallant soldier of the
army, and his MISREPRESENTATION
was an officer in the navy during the
revolutionary war; These points were
pressed with force upon the attention of
the President. All of sudden the Presi-
dent said: And this young mans father.
great-grandfather and even a more re-,
mote grandfather have all been officers
OF the United States?' Yes came the
reply. WELL replied the President with
a merry chuckle, don't you think IT
about time that some one in that family
earned living for himself?"

A WOman's Wickedness.

Few women would have the enter
prise and audacity, not to speak of the
Wickedness, to wreck railway train in
order to get rid of an Objectionable hus-
band, and then sue the company for
damages But such a woman has been
found at the town of Evart, Mich, and
has been arrested, together with her
brothers, for committing the crime as
long ago as last November. Her name
is Mrs. Nevins, and her brothers are
Frank and William Rexford. Having
obstructed the track of the Eyart &
Osceola Road they threw the engine into
a ditch, fatally injuring the engineer,
John Neyins, the fireman, Peter Ross,
and q passenger, Charles Delude, The
first two died in three hours and the
third in twenty-eight hours. Mrs.
Neyins having been on very bad terms
with her husband, and having been
heard to make threats against him, had
been suspected, but nothing could be
proved against her. Finally detective
sought her out, pretending he wanted to
marry her, and SO gained her confidence
He proposed at first to aid her in her
plan for obtaining damages from the
railway for the death of her husband,
and next to marry her. Then he would
get his life insured for some 100000;
cut hole in the ice on the lake; subOrn
witnesses who would swear they had
seen him drown; and after securing the
insurance money, they would enjoy
themselves abroad. She was delighted
with the scheme, saying that he was
just the man she had been looking for
She suggested her brothers as witnesses,
who for a liberal sum would make oath
as to his drowning As the detective
expressed some fear that they might
lack the courage to commit perjury, She
told him as a proof of their nerve, that |
they had put the log on the railway
which had caused the supposed accident.
He assumed to be satisfied They were |
to journey to Muskegon to get married,
as he pretended but he telegraphed the
police TO arrest them when they should |
arrive there. The detective, John
Malutte, having induced her on arrival
to tell the whole story in room where
witnesses were concealed, she was
taken into custody, and her
brothers soon after 1t might be pru-
dent for persons intending to travel by
rail in Michigan to inquire beforehand
how the engineers of the trains they take
are regarded by their wives. Mrs, Nevins
must be an agreeable woman to set up
,O-operatiye hOnse-keeping with.

Some Of Dickens, Originals.

Dickens to large extent used the re-
membrance of the scenes amidst which
his early years were passed as literary
material, both in his earlier and later
writings He was not indeed man of
Kent, but at the tender age of four years
was removed with his fathers family to
Chatham. The delicate little lad was
unable to join in the ordinary sports of
boys, but was a studious and OBJ
servant child. References to Roches-
ter and the neighborhood either
by name or recognizable descrip-
ton, were cited from the "Sketches " by
Boz" Pickwick," "David Copper
field" "Seven Poor Travellers" and
the UncOmmercial Traveller" where
it figures as Dullborough In one Of the
last-named papers Dickens describes a
funeral of a child he had seen at Chat
ham. In "Great Expectations" the
opening scene is at Coaling, near Roches-
ter, beyond which lies large tract of
marsh country extending from the Med
way to the estuary of the Thames, which
is described by Pip when narrating his
encounter with the escaped convict. 1t
is not unlikely that the account given by
Pip of his return to Rochester after he
had for time realized his "Great Ex-
pectations'' represented an experience Of
the author.
In edwin Drood'' Rochester figures
as Cloisterham, and Dickens spent much
time in the Cathedral The appariton
who figures as "Mr. Tops in the tale
often observed the novelist about the
church during the last few months, of his
life, but took no particular note, not
knowing at first who the visitor was.

Changes in the Sandwich Islands.

King Kalakana has had a 100000
palace voted him by the Hawaiian Leg
iaature. The cornerstone was laid at
Honolulu on December 81, with Masonic
ceremonies. His Excellency John M.
Kapena delivered q historical address.
In speaking Of the changes Of the last
few years in the Sandwich Islands, he
said: In the year 1858 the total value
of all our exports amounted to the sum
of $148,6S5.76; and in the year 1873 the
value Of our exports reached the sum of
SIS, 247, ,879,49 Not only this, but we
must consider the wages earned by the
people, Formerly, twenty-five cents per
diem was considered high wages for
laborer, but now he demands as high as
~ for a single days work. It Is not,
however, in this city alone that we find
evidences of the changed condition of
the people and the country. Let MS turn
our eyes to the Windward Islands and
examine their condition. A hundred
years ago those islands were noted as
being the theaters Of war for their fear
less braves, with their spears and iaye-
Inns, where, apparently, the only use Of
the common people was to help their
chiefs in their warlike pursuits, to I'M
plicitly obey, to trust to and love their
chiefs. But in these days, on those
plains where once the flying spear and
swift iayelin were familiar objects,
great war Of different character is
going forward in most Of the fertile por-
tons Of the country In the far distant
past IL was the fierce tread of armed men
on their marches and in their combats
that filled the air with the dust of their
but in these days it is the
point Of the plow that indus
triously stirs up the dry soil which has
so long lain fallow-the steam whistle
echoes far and near, arousing the idle to
join hands with the industrious, that both
may work together for progress"

OHILDHO0D'S GOLD.

They need not go so far away,
Through heat and cold to hunt for gold;
They might beside us sit or stray
Our hands are full as they can hold.
Gold? Gold is poured out of the sky
From rise of sun till day is done;
With falling leaves it flashes by;
In liquid gold the rivers run.
" was scattered all the way from school,
In stars and bells adown the dells;
We children gathered aprons full.
Where little DandeliOn dwells.
And yellow Cowslip to our feet
Came, like king, his hoard to bring;
And Oolumbine, with nod 80 sweet.
Shook gold upon our path,-g thing!
What goblet glistens with such wine
As the bee sups from buttercups?
What gold beads on the wet grass shine,
Sparkling to breezy downs and ups
Our homes are sweet upon the hills,
Where love is sure, and life is pure,
And sunshine every season fills;
How can country child be poor?
No robber scares our midnight hours;
No Golfers cold our treasures hold;
DewdrOps and sunbeams, stars and flowers
Gold! Gold! Who shares our childhood
gold?'

Grandpa Sin Mu says, and lend help

Alas, in drawing the dragon home thai
creature must have resisted, for the string
broke. Away went the dragon, bobbing
up and down, executing all sorts of ca
pets in the air as if it had met with an
enemy and were rolling over and ovel
with it in photographic.
"ThereH said Kon, pettishly; $50

reach down and take this pot up to a

down his chubby hands and grasped it.

words on the wrapper Of the pot: "FOr

"Where did you get this?"

gradually worked himself up into safe

Sin Mu sent that to his grandson,
Kon, living in house on the big village
street. l must hunt him up, somehow,
wherever he is. 1t is dwarf plum that
is very valuable" And Itsi held out his
hands for the tree.
"Why, my name is on it, sir! That's
a surprise. -
"You are Kon, then? Well, young
friend, you have saved your own prop
erty by your Kindness"
But where was the dragon? That
went tumbling down, fighting and crap
pling all sorts of invisible enemies, Whirl-
ing in every direction. At last it came
tumbling toward Grandpa Sin MUS gar
den, where he was walking. 1t has been
already said that his head was bald. In
Grecian history it is told that an eagle,
mistaking Eschylus' bald head for a
stone, let a tortoise fall upon it in order
to break the shell. Poor Hschylus! for
he did not recover from it. Poor tor
toise! one might also say. Whether the
dragon in this story had like intent
when it saw Grandpa Sin MUS shining
head is not known, but as he looked up
he saw the dragon coming. Horrors!
With mouth open, wings extended,
claws thrust forward, the dragon came
right upon grandpa's headl It did not
specially hurt grandpa, but it was too
much for the dragon, and the jar shook
off the dragons tail

He carried the fragments to Kon's
mother, and she told him about Itsi.

He Drove a Sharp Bargain.

A nice young man employed in cigar
store on King street, Toronto, resolved
the other day to present his intended
with u nice pair Of boots He according
ly procured her measure, and went into
one Of the fashionable stores on King
street and purchased $2 pair of boots.
In order to make the present more val
liable he marked $5 (the amount of his
weeks wages, we think upon the soles
Of the boots, and at his request the clerk
put receipt for $5 into one of the boots.
The presentation was made and the low
ers were happy, as lovers should be. But
mark the sequel. The girl examined the
boots in the daylight, and was not salts
fed. She was convinced that her lover
had been cheated in the epurchase of such
q pair of boots at that price. She decid-
ed to 90 and change them and obtain q
better bargain. The next day she ap-
peared in the store and solicited pair
of boots, price $4, and politely returned
the boots for which she said her husband
had paid SO. The receipted bill was
produced, and the bootman found it was
impossible to 90 ''behind the returns. "
The smart girl took her $4 pair of boots
and obtained 81 in money, and went
home happy and satisfied The boot
seller sent a bill for $3 to the young man,
who promptly paid the difference, buthe
thinks that girl knows more than he
thought, although he has been going
with her so long Toronto Graphic,

Coop AND Poor HAY Upland hay
cut during the period from early blossom
to full blossom is easily digestible, and
has good percentage Of albuminoids.
But as it grows older the proportion Of
nitogrogen decreases, and that of woody
fibre grows larger, the hay becomes less
digestble, the digested material is poorer
because it lacks albuminoids, and finally
the old hay is not so palatable For all
these reasons the late cut hay is worth
far less for feeding. Grass grown on
rich soil is richer in albuminoids than on
poor soil, Marsh and bog hays lack al
buminoids and fats. Glover, timothy,
red-top, blue grass, and the like, grown
on good soil, cut early and well cured
and housed, make excellent fodder.
Poorly manured, cut late, and badly
cured, they are very poor stuff. Much
of the hay that lies in the barns all
through the country is very little better
than straw.
