MISCELLANEOUS.

The Chinese national air is entitled
" Poo Teed-loh," and has just been az
ranged for the piano by Sir Jules Bene-
dict, the English composer.
A man who had not seen his wife
for eighteen years, and believed her
dead, found her alive and well in Min
neapolis. So far was he from being over
joyed by the meeting that he swallowed
laudanum, intending to cause final
separation by death.
Mrs. Rogers and one of her daugh-
tiers, of Buncomb, N. c., made by their
own labor during last season, from two
and half acres of land, 1854 worth OF
tobacco. This amount was realized
after paying rent of one-third OF the
crop.
When, at Miss Eleanor Sherman's
wedding, the other day, the bride cut
the cake, the fateful ring was found in
the slice taken by her younger sister,
Miss Rachel Sherman. 1t was a pecu-
liarly bright and happy wedding. go,
yes,' said the bridegroom, joyously,
when congratulated upon the charming.
sunny weather, everything has gone
right with us from the first.
The scholars of the Lescune Acade-
my Lyons, France, had received per-
mission to perform drama, entitled
" The Death of the Duke de Guise,"
and to young Nicholas Tiene, an I'M
commonly intelligent lad, was assigned
the part of the Duke. When the great
" situation of the piece, De Guise's
assassination occurred, the boys cast for
the roles of the murderer fell upon poor
little Tiene with such fury that they
literally beat and trampled him to death.
He became insensible under their savage
onslaught, and expired in acute agony
after three days incessant suffering,
the victim of his fellow scholars over
anxiety to impart a thoroughly realistic
character to their performance.
Mr. Eddy gave Miss Hintzleman a
fine set of jewelry, ct Newbern, N. c.,
and she wore it for several weeks. Then
he brought suit to recover it, on the
ground that he had simply lent it to her.
She testified that, by the terms of a
mutual agreement, she was to pay for
the jewelry by kissing Mr.. Eddy every
morning for hundred days. He called
and got his kiss, on his way to work.
every day for about month. Then he
grew bold, and wanted to take a hug as
we'll as kiss. There was no provision
in the bargain for hugging, and she re-
pulsed him, even restricting his kisses
to mere touch OF his lips to her cheek.
He thought he was being cheated and
hence his effort to recover.
A little girl at Lewiston, Me-, hav-
ing a flower garden, asked her parents
to get her some seeds. Her father jok-
ingly told her to apply to the Agricrlt-
ural Department at Washington. The
other day her father took from the post
office letter from Washington, adj
dressed in bold hand to his daughter.
1t was long and gracefully written let
ter from Representative Frye, promis-
ing to send her some seeds, and ex-
pressing the hope that her pathway
would always be surrounded by flowers.
Her parents then learned for the first
time that she had of her own accord
written a letter to Mr.. Frye, archly ex-
pressing her admiration for him and
asking him to please send her some
seeds from the A Agricultural Department.

The Princess Mary VILLAGE HON

The Princess Mary Village Home
at Addlestone, England, is collection
of charming cottages, each holding ten
little girls, who, if old enough, are
taught to wash, sew, knit, clean and
cook. The institution was founded for
the reception and training of the girl
children of criminal mothers, and for
the rescue and bringing up of little
girls likely to drift into career of
crime, and for the education of girl pau
per children. Children are admitted
from the earliest infancy, and none is
rejected ON the ground of bodily intirm-
ity. They are kept in training until
sixteen years of age. The system of
village homes for homeless children is
now in favor, and deservedly so.

THAT GRT-HBLING Old IFO-H4N.

There was an old woman, and--what do you
She lived upon nothing but victuals and
drink.
But though victuals and drink were the chief
of her diet,
Yet this grumbling old woman never was
quiet.
She had nice cottage, hen-house and barn
And sheep whose fine wool furnished blank
A COW that supplied her with butter and cheese
A large flock of geese, and a hive full of bees
Yet she grumbed and grumbled from morn
For this foolish old woman thought nothing
went right;
Zen the days of the week were all wrong, for
on Sunday
She always declared that she wished it was
Monday.
If oloudless and fair was the long summer day,
And the sun smiled down on the neW-moWn
There's drought" she sald as sure as
your born!
If it don't rain soon, it will ruin the corn!"
But when descended the gentle rain,
Blessing the bOuntiful fields of grain,
And bringing new lie to flower and bud,
She said there was coming second flood.
She never gave aught to the needy and poor;
l.
shall work." She said, with wag of the
head,
"To provide for the idle and lazy their bread?''
But the rich she regarded with envy and spite;
She said twas a shame-'twasn't decent nor
right
That the naughty Old Squire, with his bow
legged son,
Should ride with two horses, while she rode
with one.
And the grabbed old fellow-to spite her, no
doubt
Had built new barn, like palace through
out,
With a cupola on it, as grand as you please,
And rooster that whirled head and tail with
the breeze.
Il wish, SO do she said, cooking her eye.
"There,d come great whiilwind, and blow it
sky-high!'
And cen as she spoke, loud rushing was
heard,
And the barn to it's very foundation was stirred
1t stood the shock bravely, but-pitiful sight =
The wind took the Old woman up like a kite!
AS she sailed up aloft over forest and hill,
Her tongue, SO they say, it kept wagging on
still.
And where she alighted, no mortal doth know;
Or whether she ever alighted below.
MORAL.
My moral. my dcars, you will find if you try;
And if you don't find any, neither can [.

year met for the first tine, Alderman

John Dryer, the prize-fghter himself,
as clerk of the third district court,
was received There was large throng
of Dryers friends in the room, expect
ing the nomination, and apparently de-
termined to cheer it through. Alder
man Dinon, representing the first
ward, which includes Brooklyn Heights,
at once spread out before him sporting
paper containing a picture OF Dryer
printed soon after his prize fight in May
last, on Long Point Island, Canada, with
James Elliott. "To attract the attention
of this board" added Dimon, earnestly,
II Will say that this nomination is per-
fectly infamous" Instantly there was
much confusion. Chairman Dryer
ruled Thin out of order and proceeded TO
csll the roll. When Dimon's name was
reached, as an absentee, he sgaln tried
to speak, but was ruled out of order.
Then he appealed from Chairman
Dryers decision, and the decision was
sustained by 10 to 6. All members who
wished to explain their vote on the call
for the previous question were ruled cut
of order. The main question was ordered
without debate. When it came Dimon's
turn TO vote, he again declared that the
proposal to nominate prize fighter for
clerk of court of justice was most in
famous. "The fsct is" said he, ''that
this nominee should not be within the
bar of a court Of justice, but if the law
were enforced he would be behind other
bars, where he would be serving the state
without any cost, except as to his board.
The nomination, 1 say once more, is
simply infamol rs, and gentlemen who
favor its confirmation know it." After
much more of tie same sort, Dryer was
confrmed-15 TO s.

THE DAIRY.

FULL milk cheese is now made of one
hundred pounds of skim milk and two
pounds of hogs lard, combined in some
way, for which a patent is being extern
sively sold.
A FEW sheep might be profitably kept
on any dairy farm. A few of the large
breeds would be best; they would give
good lambs, heavy fleeces of valuable
wool, and good mutton.
1T is said that in all the States east of
Illinois three acres of land are required
to furnish grass for a COW during the six
months of the year she is in pasture,
while one acre will furnish her with
sufficient hay during the six months she
is in the stable.
WE have as good grass here as in
Scotland if it rains enough. The milk
cow is the best thing on the farm for
making money. There is no need to
let the calf get all the milk. 1t spoils a
young heifer to let calf run with her.
1t does less harm to keep the calf up.
Then the vessel develops, otherwise it
will not.-JdnaeS Wilson. o.,
A COMMITTEE appointed by the Elgin
Qll.) Board of Trade has been inves-
tigating the manufacture of T" lard but
teri in Chicago. They find that there
are six or seven factories in that city
making this stuff, the smallest of which
turns out 1000 pounds day, while
there is one that makes 800 tubs day,
averaging from fifty to sixty pounds
each. There are three grades which
sell at fourteen, twenty-three and TWEEN
ty-seven cents, according to the quality
of the butter used in the mixture. The
committee did not learn the proportion
of lard to butter, but as lard is worth
only eight cents per pound it is evident
that there must be a large profit on the
product. An effort is to be made to pass
law in the Illinois Legislature, COM
pelling the manufacturers of this " lard
BUTTER to brand it plainly and sell it
for just what it is. Butter-makers in
the West claim that it is seriously in
juring the reputation of western butter.

self as to win the admiration of very
substantial-looking old gentleman. He
assisted the young woman on the train
and to seat beside himself. CONVEX
sation flowed pleasantly and acquaint-
ance ripened fast. On parting at sta
ton not many miles west of this city
the couple exchanged addresses. The
old gentleman proved to be wealthy
Chicago merchant, who opened cor
respondence with our heroine. She
apparently wrote as agreeably as she
talked. Letters winged their way faster
between the city by the river and the
city on the lake. Then came propo-
sition-not of marriage, but that the
worthy son of the susceptible parent be
admitted to the correspondence. The
father gradually drew out of the field
and the son more than made his place
good. Do you guess it? Yes, in the
fulness of time, or rather in very little
while, came an offer of marriage. 1t was
accepted. Three souls are happy. a
brilliant wedding and luxurious home
are in prospect, and the railroad officers
have been greatly puzzled of late by the
number of Springfield girls who come
stumbling, with more or less grace,
aboard trains bound for the great and
glorious west.
