The shallOwness of the water was all that
prevented another Seawanhaka affair. Luckily
nobody was drowned. OF course the pilot dld
not know his business or was not attending
to it. These constantly recurring accidents on
the waters around Ncw-York lead to the
supposition that the rapid development OF the
summer excursion business has caused steam
boat owners to put incompetent men III COM

like to know how many half-tralned pilots
are steering crowded steamboats, trusting to
luck to escape accidents

four hours after his fast ended the doctor
managed to gain four and half pounds IN
weight. Interviews with number of eminent
physicians, which we give on another page,
show that there is no doubt entertained as to
his complete abstinence from food during The
forty days The scientific results of the eX.
pertinent are not regarded, however, as of
much value and the notion that starvation
cure for disease will come into vogue is secuted.
The days of low diet or no diet for the sick
have gone by, and the doctors do not now be-
leve, as did their predecessors of the last
generation that the way to enable patient
to get strong is first to make him weak for

R. Mason, who ran as the Greenback
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, two
years ago, and made eighty-fve speeches, has
returned to the Republican ranks. He put
more good sense in the one speech he dellv-
cred in Pittsburg, Saturday, than was probably
contained in the whole eigEty-fiye in favor OF
an irredeemable currency.

with ringing Republican cheers, it must
have been pleasant change to General Gar
Lake with another sort of enthusiasm, just as
hearty though not at all noisy. The Chautau-
qua cheer consists of silent waving OF pocket

Amusement OF Rich But Eccentric
New YORK Painter.

BANKERS and brokers were hnrrying
away from Wall Street 1T half-past three
the other afternoon In haste to get to
their homes, to the sea shore or the
country; clerks, Office. boys and messen-
gers were running to and fro. Wall and
Broad Streets and Exchange Place were
filled with moving throng flushing up
the work of the day. just at this time
two men came from the basement Of
No. 40 Broad Street. One was Mr.. O.
III. Dexter, the painter and carpenter,
and the other one of his assistants. As
soon as they reached the sidewalk the
two men plunged their hands in their
pockets, pulled them out filed with
small coin, and began scattering the
money broadcast, literally throwing It
away. Almost as quickly as IL Is written
a crowd of messenger boys and young
clerks surrounded them. Fighting their
way through the throng, the two men
moved slowly towards Exchange Place,
where they separated, one going up the
narrow court towards New Street and
Broadway, and the other up Broad
Street in the direction of Wall Street.
At every step their hands were dipped
into capacious pockets, raised in tho air
a moment, and then came little shower
of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
The crowd increased prodigiously. Il
was composed mostly OF boys, and they
struggled and fought good-naturedly,
tumbling over and trampiing upon each
other in their @ger scramble for the
money. At the corner Of Broad and
Wall Streets the crowd and the excite
ment eliminated. Here Mr.. Dexter
stood a few moments, mob OF about .
thousand bustling, shouting youngsters
about him, while he scattered half-dol-
lars, dollars, and few shining golden
quarter.eagles in little rain about him.
Like the Scriptural rain, il fell upon the
just and the unjust alike, for some Of
the big boys wickedly robbed the little
fellows Of coveted pieces. The rain was
only q shower after all. I'm fifteen
minutes IL was over, and Mr. Dexter
stepped into his carriage and was whirled
away. ' ..''' '.'.. ..

b Mr.. PIGwEED has had q terrible time
of it. He resolved to set a pistol in his
safe, before leaving home for the sum-
mer, so that when anybody opened the
door of the receptacle the pistol would
be discharged. However, it puzzled
him COED deal to find way to set the
pistol with the door shut, and if he set
it with the door open there was no way
to make the thing 60 off when the door
should be opened again. So he finally

Rye Pasture.

In the fall of the year, especially IL it
be dry, there is n great deficiency in
fall pasture. Rye In many ways can be
made to supply the deficiency. Under
the old practice of corn cultivation, rye
was frequently sown in the corn and
plowed in the last time of going through
the corn. But with the shovel plow
corn was cultivated later than IL Is with
the improved corn-cultivator. Corn Is
now ready and "laid by" on the best
farms of Iowa, 1t being too tall for the
cultivator. But il any one wants TO
sow cornfeld to rye, where the inten-
ton is to cut up the corn early and haul
out for the cattle, and then use the rye
pasture in the fall, a temporary return
to the shovel plow can be done to shovel
in the rye in the corn, i'm July or August.
A correspondent inquiries IL the rye
would injure the corn in caring. II
sown in June it would be likely TO be as
injurious as a crop of fox-tail. But
sown later, and plowed in as suggested.
it would be early enough forfall pasture.
1t can be made valuable in aiding milch
cows, as well as preparing other stock
to go into the winter in fine condition.
Too many farmers neglect the advan-
tages which can be taken to provide the
best food for stock at proper seasons.
The practice of letting stock prosper
and 'starve at alternate seasons has be-
come a habit greatly TO the injury of the
profits of the farm. Study and search
to know how the stock can be the cheap
est and easiest way kept constantly
growing and developing. There should
be neither rest nor retrograde in the
growth from birth to death.-Io,oa State

ANOTHER serious disaster has befallen
the British troops in Afghanistan. Gen.
Burrows's command, numbering between
1900 and 5000 men, which was recently
dispatched from Candahar to cooperate
with Shere Ali, has been attacked and almost
annihilated by the native insurgents under
Ayoobs, Khan. Ever since the ele-
vation Of Abdurrahman Kahn as Ameer,
through the power of the British
Government, his old enemy and rival to the
throne, Ayoob Kahn, has been gathering
hts forces about Candahar, but the British
commander i evidently underrated the
strength of the insurgents aud thus left the
way open to a crushing defeat. The capture
of,the city is now . foregone conclusion, and
Gen. Primrose has withdrawn his forces
into the citadel, where they will remain in
state of siege until relieved by reinforce
ments from Sinla, which have been ordered
forward under command of Gen. Phayre.
