Accidentally Shot

Mr.. Bethel Coopwood. well known
lawyer Of this city, has been out in VIII
Hanson county several days attending to
land business Friday, a few miles above
Coruhill. In that county, team he was
driving became uurIlly. and while he was
trying TO get them quieted down, Aloaded
shot gun fell from the ambulance, striking
the hammers, causing it to go OF. The
entire contents OF one barrel struck =
large silver watch in Mr.. CoopwOod's
left vest pocket, and, CHANGING on, passed
between his body and left arm. striking
the latter Just below the arm pit, innicting
3 terrible wound, and one from the effects
of which he will hardly recover. The
watch happened TO be in the top pocket OF
the vest, and was almost Immediately
over the heart Of Mr.. COopwoOd, and
saved him from instant death. 1t

into a shapless mass. Mr.. Coop
wood was carried TO COrnhill, where

THE year has been exceedingly pros
porous, and with proper managementthe
coming fair will be great success. Fairs,
where properly managed, are Important
and OF great benefit to the cause of ag-
ricnlture. They are institutions where
practical information is disseminated for
the farmer. mechanic and stockraiser.
Contact with others, n comparison of re-
suits in the production of crops or stock
cannot fail 90 be Of advantage 10 farmers
and all intelligent observers. Farmers
and stockraisers should take deep inter
est in the coming fair, for from it they
may gather information that may be
turned TO good account. Then, again
il will afford needed recreation and re-
spite from the toll of the busy season.
Business men. and indeed all, should Ia
Dor TO make the fair a success in every
particular. Let the head of every family
in the county make up his mind TO con-
tribute something toward making the fair
a success, and let him take his wife and
children, and meet with his neighbOrs
and have a grand old time He will feel
the better for it, and with the knowledge
obtained be better prepared to perform
his part in the battle of life, either on the
farm, in the workshop, in the business
house or office, and in the world at large.

Bees and Flowers.

they examine anything which comes in

The ColumbmeS (AQuilegiTJ with

Dubuque llOwal Times.
Let the pleasure-inclincd take u walk
up and down Clay street on Saturday
or Sunday night, and they VIII see a
street alive with people. Among the
crowd will be seen young men and
girls, some walking by twos, others in
fours, vile numbers come travelling
along alone This is the maslers'
great stamping ground, and the nights
referred to are selected for their Carni-
walls The police officer on this beat
said to the reporter: "Iou would be
surprised to see the crowds that march
up and down this street on these even
ings." 1t is moving mass of peo-
pie who surge along, some going like
trains, others moving like snails. As
u general rush they are very quiet and
never disturb any person who does not
wish to be disturbed. In this crowd
will be found the merry masher, look
ing for u Irritation, and he finds it if it
is to be found. This fellow is very
numerous on the street-in fact he
predominates. He travels generally
from 7:30 to $3.50, and eyes and guys
off every person he meets. He plies
his little arts with so bad grace that
one is tempted to wonder if he ever
succeeds in securing the attention of a
woman or the greenest kind of a girl.
Most of his work is done by cough or
u handkerchief. lie rarely has much
to say, for his intellect is comparative
ly light. No one seems to know who
these mashers are. They come from
all parts of the city and leave no trace,
They are usually well dressed, but
their clothes have a ready-made air
about them. Their boots are always
brightly polished, collars and cuffs
reasonably clean, and they are simply
perfection in handkerchiefs. He is a
curiosity in this working world of ours
When he dies his grave should be
planted with catnip and stink weed
and plain board erected, saying
"Here lies a masher, name and age un
known"
The mashing, however, is not only
indulged in by boys, but numbers OF
girls take an active part in the pleas
ure and some even become so bolt
that they "hello' the boys. 1t is {

Out of life's compounds of glory and
shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no will of their

And heplesSly into lifc's history thrown ;
Born by the law that cOmpcS men to be,
Born to conditions they could not Orcscc,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God in His wisdom created them all.
John was the head and the heart of his
state,
Was trusted and honorcd, was noble and
great;
Peter was made meath lifc's burdens to
grOan,
And never once dreamed that his soul was
his own,
Robert great glory and honor received
For zcalously preaching what no one
ItlltNfNs
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took
his fill,
And gave up his life to the service of i'll.
1t chanccd that these men in their passing
away
From earth and its conflicts all died the
same day.
John was mourned through the length
and breadth of tile land;
Peter fell meath the lash of mercilcss
hand;
Robert died with the praise of the Lord on
his tOngnc,
While Paul was convicted Of murder and
hung;
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God. in His wisdom, created them all.
Men said of the statcsman-"lIow noble
and brave
But of Peter, alas -"lIc was only slave.
OF Robrrt-"'TiS well with his soul, it is

Born by one law, through all the nations

No longer resorts 10 deception and lies
Ont where the flesh can no longer control
The freedom and faith of the God-giycn
soul.
Who shall determine what change shall
hrfall
John or Peter, and Robert and Paul.
John may in wisdom and goodness in

Peter rejoice in infinite peace:
Robert may learn that the truth of the

Concerning Apples and Apple Trees
Chicago Evening Mail
There are at present about $500
named varieties Of the apple. OF these,
however, only about 300 are in general
cultivation, and of this number not
more than fifty possess any special val
ue. The great bulk of the present
crop will be found to comprise only
about half of this number, which i'll
cludes most of the standard varieties.
Perhaps the largest orchard in the
world, says correspondent of the
New York Tribune, is on the east bank
of the Hudson river, near the city of
Hudson. 1t is owned and operated by
Robert McKinstry, and contains 300
acres. In this orchard there are about
$4,000 bearing apple trees in good
thrifty condition. The crop this year
cannot well be estimated yet, but will
he immense. 1t is now sight worth
iourneying hundreds of miles to see,
and visitors are not wanting. Some of
the oldest trees are twenty years of
age; the most are much younger, In
1873 the total apple product was 3d.
600 barrels, Il large share of which
was exported to Liverpool and Glas-
gov. The yield will he much greater
this season. Another very extensive
apple orchard is that of Oliver C..
Chaplin, at East Bloomfield, Ontario
county, n. Y. 1t covers l2O acres of
ground. From this orchard 10000
barrels were sent to market last year,
bringing total of $l6,6S7. still an
other very large apple orchard is To-
Gated within Il few miles of this city on
the west bank of the Hudson, near
EsOpus village. 1t was planted many
years ago by the father of the late Rob
ert l.. Pell. The latter was the first
man to export American apples, and
was, perhaps, the most successful ap-
ple-grOwer in the country. During his
life his orchard covered POO acres, and
contained 2l,0OO trees which were all
the famous Newtown pippin variety,
| Everything was conducted hy i most
perfect system and his great orchard
was visited by the most eminent pom
ologiSts in the world. But since his
death it has been suffered to decline in
vigor and productivencss.
In SkOwhcgan, Me-, are two rlSSet
apple trees. Tho oldest was planted in
1862. The tree is seven feet from the
ground to the branches, five in number,
all of which are very large, and aver
age 3j feet in length, covering space
of ground 63 feet in diameter In
those branches a playhouse for chill
dren has been built for half Il century
or more. The tree is more than 4S
feet in diameter, and it has been agood
/ hcarcr-from twenty-five to tlirty-iive
bushels Of apples having been picked
from it each year. But the frost and
rain have made Il seam in thch'mrhes,
and recently one Of them has broken,
but the other four are green and bring
forth their fruit in due season The
other tree is forty-eight years yopngcr,
and a sprout Of the old tree. 1t sends
thirty-twu feet from the old tree, and
bears the same kind of apples, is 3 feet
in diameter, and perfect in every way.

Everywhere upon the coast of east
em New England may be found, ten
feet below the water-mark, the lichen
known as carrageen-the "Irish moss
of commerce. 1t may be torn from
the sunken rocks anywhere, and yet
the little seaport of Scituate is almost
the only place in the country where it
is gathered and cured. This village is
the great center of the moss business
in this country, and the entire union
drags its supplies from these beaches.
Long rakes are used in tilling this ma
rine farm, and it does not take long to
fill the many dOries that await the
lichen, torn from its salty rock bed.
The husbands and fathers gather the
moss from the sea, and the wives and
daughters prepare it for the market
Soak it in water and it will melt away
to a jelly. Boil it in milk and deli
cious white and creamy blanc mango
is the result. The annual product is
from 10000 to $4,000 barrels, and it
brings $4,000 into the town, which sum
is shared by $50 families. Its con
sumption in the manufacture of lager
beer is very large, and the entire beer
of the country draws its supplies from
Sctuate beaches, as the importation
from Ireland has almost ceased, 1t is
not generally known that the moss, as
an article of food, is called "sea moss
farina."
