A MODEL FARM.
Sale Of a Missouri Model Farm for a
Low Price.
It. Louis Republican.

IT, Louis Republican.
The "model farm of the late John
w. Harris, in Boone county, was offered
at public sale in Columbia, by the adj
ministrator of the deceased, on the 9th
inst. The "model farm, SO called from
having been awarded the premium for
the best farm in the State by the State
board of agriculture several years ago,
is noble piece OF property. 1t lies
twelve miles from Columbia, in beau
tiful and fertile region, and embraces
1,465 acres of choice land, large por-
ton in cultivation, well provided with
barns and other farm buildings and
fences in good condition. The sale at
tracted a large crowd of persons; but it
was evident that the greater number of
them came more out of curiosity than
from desire to bid. The sale was not
as successful rs might have been ex-
pected. The home tract, consisting of
355 acres, on which the mansion stands,
was bought by Mr.. A. IL. Conley for
$50. 10 per acre, or SIC, 6S5 for the whole.
The deceased proprietor paid $37 80 for
it more than twenty years ago. The
Cowden tract, embracing 566 acres, well
improved aud in good condition, with a
dwelling, four tenant houses, and appro-
pirate outbuildings on it, was bought by
+. w. Price for $25 per acre, or $14 900
for the whole. The greater part Of the
tract was bought by the deceased pro-
prietor at 1876 an acre. The remain
ing portion of the estate, 551 acres, was
bought by the heirs at $3.50 per acre.
Several small parcels of land belonging
to the estate we're sold also--60 acres OF
timber land at s. per acre, 40 acres at
IS an acre, 40 acres at SO an acre and
40 acres at s. an acre. The proceeds
of the sales were $4,000. 1t was tn.
general opinion that the purchasers got
bargains.

"But he is married" spoke Nina out

Of tears in her voice, il any one had

"Tnen Grsndelaw has told you about
him. Yes, it was SO romsntic--and

"That depends" returned Stella. He

Nina sat like one stunned by an
earthquake shock; all Grandelaw's per-

all. His kiss had not been treachery.
She would go to him. She would leave
this prison for ever and ever. How
had she ever dreamed of loving Grande-

-"You have been very kind to me-"

afterward that Nina had fingered and

himself returned to Laurel Lodge there
was a little three-oornered note on his
library table in Nina's hand, which
read:

your file of old 7'ribunes | should hap

In the public schools at Minneapolis

what is the opprsl.o of rich" the
answer being poor" and So on. After
a series of such questions, u teacher
the other day asked the class: What

bright little fellow hriskly arose, and
with confident prompitude cried out:

Married Fourteen Times.

The Little Rock Gdsette says: "There
is now living in Morriltown, Conway
county, a woman who has been mar
ried fourteen times. She is now 65
years old, and, matrimonially speaking,
she has been remarkably successful.
Her fourteenth husband is now living,
but it is not known how soon he may
drop of, and, considering the epidemic
that has ragged among his predecessors,
his position is one Of extreme danger.
In the hall of the house where the lady
now lives there are thirteen pegs driven
in the wall, on which hang thirteen
hats labeled John, Tom, Abe, Bill, and
50 on.

A petition, addressed to the Secretary
OF the Navy, is In circulation in com.
mercial circles in this city, asking that
as soon rs navigation Is opened in the
spring the Government will dispatch o
war vessel to seek out and relieve tho
whaling barks Mount wollaston and
Vigilant, and also to look after the
whereabouts and condition OF the Jean.
nette. Considerable anxiety Is mani
tested here as to the safety Of the crews
Of the two vessels first mentioned. and
It il thought that they have probably
been compelled to desert their ships and
seek safety on the Jeanette. In this
case II Is feared that the Jeannette's pro.
visions. though sufficient for her own
complement, would not hold out under
the additional strain that would be
brought to bear on them by the crews Of
the other vessels. who will aggregate
nearly sixty men. The Mount Wollas.
ton, II Is stated, did not take sufficient
provisions to winter In the north, for the
reason that her captain had no intention
OF 80 doing. The bark Helen Mar,
which sailed hence on Monday last, Ind
on board 9 full supply Of provisions for
the Wollaston. which will be delivered
early next season, II then needed.
Whalemen here state that In their opin.
ion the Jeanette il very likely 70 need
help a. much a. the other vessels.

fact dawned upon them that they were
lost. The wind howlsd fsarfully, and
though not showing. tho air was filled
with the feathery element. drifting in
clouds. Mr.. Doughsrty coming along
and seeing them some two hundred
yards from the road. went to their camp,
they having sought shelter behind Q
large rock. Finding they were lost, be
brought them to the road and piloted
them nearly to town, where they arrived
safe, having left their wagon and goods
behind them. Douehsrty cut his blan.
ket mp to make wraps for the ladies'
feet, enabling them to walk 10 quite
comfortably. This was indeed q very

were totally unprepared to encounter
