TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Correspondence Of the Yankee Fork Herald.
SALMON CRY, Feb. 8, 1880.

SALMON CRY, Feb. y, 1850.
In the spring OF 1878 William Lude-
man and another German started out
to prospect. In the course Of their
journey they landed in Yellow Jacket
mining district and found employment
with Fl. Van Horn. Whilst working
there Ludeman discovered what he
thought were good placer diggings,
and, being out of money, he and his
partner left Yellow Jacket and were
employed by McNutt & Tuthill, on
Moose creek. While there they formed
the acquaintance of one Tim Connor
Talking over their prospects in life
among themselves, Conner became an
attentive listener, and being Of a
very avaricious nature and desirous OF
making a hit on the Main Chance,
soon worked himself into the conf
dence ana favor of the two Germans,
and the trio agreed to go over to Yellow
Jacket for the purpose of working the
newly found dissgings.
After arriving there they began
opening the mine. The Germans be-
ing Of very social and peaceful dis
position soon found by more inti-
mate acquaintance with Jonnor that
he was unsocial and quarrelsome.
Connors desire to look after the Main
Chance soon cropped out and he en-
deavored to beat the Germans out of
their share of the ground. The mine
not yielding immediate pecuniary re
turns, Connor soon became disgusted
and departed, vowing vengeance on
wrong. Ludeman and his partner af
terward abandoned the ground, the
former going to Moose creek. Here
| he met with Counor, whose revengeful
disposition soon made it very unpleas-
ant for poor Ludeinan, who, being a
very brave man and the superior OF
Connor, physically, did not fear him.
On the Sd Of February matters came
to q crisis between them Ludemar
having business in Leesburg started
for that place. He met Connor a
about three-fourths Of a mile from
Leesburg. The latter was freighting
for McNicoll and had load. Lude
man arrived in Leesburg some time
before Conner. The latter, a shor
time after his arrival, retired to Nc
Nicol's store and began drinking, ant
soon after epdeavored to precipitat

his object, Ludeman left the store am
went to Stover's to get meal, afte
which he remarked to Slower that b
had forgotten his pipe, and said b

A ChiId'S Kiss.

[ remember one day business man
came into our association and said:
:" Mr.. Moody, there is a man just came
out of the penitentiary, whom I am very
much interested In; he is discouraged be.
cause he can't get anything to do. Will
you take an interest in him?
g Yes; bring him in
He brought him in, as fine looking
man as there is in this assembly. ]
shook hands with him, and told him I
was glad to see him. [ said: "Come,
go home with me, and take dinner with
me-"
The tears started in his eyes. He did
not think [ would invite him to my
house, as he had been in penitentiary.
[ introduced him to my little child, only
three years old, and said: sc Emma, this
is papa's friend; I wish you would kiss
him.
She put her arms around his neck and
kissed him. Then the little girl went
out
The man looked at me with tears
streaming down his face and said: "My
heart is broken; that is the first kiss ]
have had since my mother died"
It broke his heart to think that little
child had kissed him.
Well, we helped him, and he went out
into the world, and the last I heard of
him he was being blessed in publishing
the glad t1dlngs of salvation

A STRANGE Suicide.

Lately a Chinese fisherman found q
young German girl drifting about in a
boat In San Francisco bay. The girl
was in great distress and was helped
ashore. At first she would not tell who
she was or how she became to be alone
on the waters of the bay. She went to
the room of one Geo. Mueller, must
clan, and found note addressed to
"Dear Lizzie, telling her take every
thing he had, and intimating that he
was going to drown the other girl and
himself. Then the German girl of the
boating mystery told her story. Muel-
Ter had been counting another girl-the
''Lizzie whom he could not get and
came to her for consolation. Sheagreed
to take him, but couldnot drive the other
one out of his heart. He was Respondent
and took to drink, and one evening
asked her to go boating on the bay. She
went with him. When they were far
out, Mueller talked of suicide,
and remarked what a beautiful
grave the water would be. Sew
eral times he tried to Jump overheard,
but she held him by the coat-tail. At
length he said he hadnot courage enough
to drown himself, and she believed
him. Then he jumped overheard and
sank. He was under the water for a
good while, and came up far from the
boat and cried for help. She could not
get to him, and at length he apparently
got tired of swimming, and sank to his
beautiful grave. The girl further says
he did not attempt to drown her, if that
was part of the plan in the boat-ride
He probably changed his mind, and con-
Guided to die alone.

Is The Hessian fly is the most trouble
some upon the early sown wheat, but 1t
makes smaller growth before winter
sets in, and so far as that goes it is dis
advantage to grow late, excepting on
well prepared land. A farmer of our ac-
quaintance Tin the state of New York;
for many years sowed his wheat the
first week in October, and his average
yield has been over forty bushels per
acre He was first led to practice late
sowing to avoid the ravages of the Hes
sian fly, but the practice proved SO satis-
factory that it was continued after the
fly had disappeared. His land was In
| high condition, and top-dressing OF
fine manure was applied to give the
| young plants. a good start. 1t may be
better to SOW late if thorough prepar-
alton of the soil is thereby secured.
IT is very seldom that one hears of a
farmer who says he has grown too much
clover, that with him the clover seed he
has sown has not been his best manure.
A rotation that does not have clover in
it shows that either the system of man
agement is at fault, or it is one fitted to
some peculiar circumstances. Glover
does not have one single good quality in
its favor, but number of them-not
the least OF which is it's production of a
large amount of valuable fodder in two
OF more more cuttings if for hay; and it
makes fine pasture if the crop is used
in that way. The good influence of the
clover crop is felt for years in the bet
ter corn, wheat, etc., that followed, and
this comes from the fact that the clover
plant is deep feeder and brings up
large amount of food elements from the
subsoil and deposits it in the large roots
near the surface. AS these roots decay
the succeeding crops take up the nourish-
ment from them. A growing clover
field is food-gathering and altogether
a very valuable crop upon the farm

Forms of FEEDING,

In Victoria I was quite used to seeing
elbows on the table, knife and fork al
ternately inserted halfway down the
throat, but here in Bohemia the elbows
are extended at an angle of forty-fve de-
grees and both kn1ve and fork raised to
the mouth at once. Ladies as we'll as
gentlemen perform these gymnastics,
their chairs tipped forward, their noses
down to their plates. [ once told an Aus
trian countess that the only improvement
[ could suggest for her dining table was
g to place trough around it." Here in
Bohemia [ would do away with the table
and retain the trough alone--Octovio

American Grain in Russia.
from the London TELEGRAPH. I

Russian journalists appear to be Just
now painfully exercised by the an
| nouncement that two American steamers,
laden with grain, have entered the port
OF Revel, for the purpose of their dis
charging their cargOes-a circumstance
hitherto without precedent in the annals
OF Russian commerce. That Russia
would never need to import cereals from
foreign countries has heretofore been a
firmly established article of popular
faith throughout the czar's dominions.
80 rapid, however, has of late years been
the falling off in productiveness exhib-
tied III the agricultural districts of the
empire that the seemingly impossible
has at length come to pass, and northern
Russia is importing wheat from the
states. 1t is but justice to the Russian
press to acknowledge that it has been
profuse of warnings with respect to the
probable consequences of slovenly and
unlntelllgent farming, persistence in old
fashioned and exploded systems Of Guilt
Walton, reluctance to invest capital in
modern agricultural improvements, ab-
senteeism, and other latches which have
practically disqualified Russian grain
growers from competing for foreign Gus
tom with their transatlantic rivals But
Russian buyers and peasant farmers
were SO immutably possessed by the con-
viction that Russia was the predestined
granary of Europe that they calmly ig-
nored these salutary monitions They
are now stricken with amazement and
CONSERVATION by proof p ositive, such as
is afforded by the importation of Ameri-
can grain into Revel, that the cereal
yields of northern and central Russia no
longer suffice to meet the consumptive
requirements of the native population.
Germany, too, is giving to America the
preference over Russia for what grain
she finds it necessary to import, from
the reasonable grounds that the Ameri-
can wheat is at once cheaper and of bet
ter quality than the Russian. On the
whole, Russian agriculture is at an ex-
tremely low ebb, and it's future even
promises to prove even more gloomier
than it's present.

SANDOWN BAY.


Oh, the Summer sunshine,
Flooding Sandown Bay,
Making gladness gladden.
While the children play
Building mimic mountains,
Digging mimic lakes.
Leaving great things dearer
For the small things sakesl
Loud waves, gray and curling,
Foam in freshening spray,
Gods mysterious music t4
Mingling with the play. S 81
All the broad seas glory
Dimly stretched away,
Like that unknown story
Children know some day.
Ripping baby chatter!
Sunny baby smiles
What can greatly matter
While you keep your wiles?
Does God hear this music
Mingling with the seas
Does He love the laughter
Sounding on the breeze

ar Was rrr CAr.n-John Crancor.

cit Was TEE CAr."-John Granger,
who resides near Milton Centre, Saratoga
county, missed the family cat from his
premises about three weeks ago. I'm.
agine his surprise, when at the end Of
three weeks, Mistress Pussy returned to
the domestic hearth, bringing with her
family of five little chickens. These she
cared for with maternal tenderness,
covering her little brood ct night and
devoting to them every possible atten-
ton. At the end of fortnight the little
family was thought by its strange pro-
tector to be able to battle alone with the
stern realities of life, and, discharged
from her care, are now as rational and
aforementioned chickens as the county
affords But the end was not yet with
this chicken-hearted cat. The owner of
the animal, entering his barn week ago,
found the four-footed poulterers' friend
in a hens nest, endeavoring with all the
"henergy" of her nature, to impart to an
egg the genial warmth Of which is effect
ual in the process of incubation. To lend
dignity to the operation, Mr.. Granger
put five more eggs under the remarkable
quadruped, and upon these the cat has
since sat, leaving her charge for only q
few minutes at time. The strange
sight has attracted many spectators, who
eagerly discuss the effect upon the price
of barnyard fowl if the extraordinary
behavior Of this cat should become catch
ing. Pussy's chicks are peeping. TROY
Times.
