How It Came.

The reason why New Jersey wag
called foreign country is said to b
snbjoined: After the downfall q
the first Napoleon, his brother Jo-
seph, who had bsen King OF Spain,
sought refuge in this country. and
brought much wealth with him.
Joseph Bonaparte wished to build .
palatial residence here, but did not
desire to become . citizen, as ho
hoped to return to Europe. To on
able him, as an alien, to hold real
estate, required special act Of ths
Legislature. He tried to get one
passed for his benefit in several
States, but failed. He was chs
grined, especially because Peun-
sylvania refused. Then he applied
to the New Jersey Legislature,
which body granted him the privil-
ege Of purchasing land. He bonght
tract at Bordentown, aud built .
magnificent dwelling. Rare paint
ings, statuary, etc., were profuse,
and selected with great care, and
the grounds laid out with exquisite
taste. Bonaparte's residence was
perhaps the finest in America. Pso-
pie from all parts Of the country
visited him and ware treated courts
ously. He was liberal with his
money, and gave great impetus -
business in the little town. The
Philadelphians, finding that he hsA
apparently no end Of money, aniI
that no used it to benefit business
generally, regretted. whom it was
too late, that they refused to let him
locate among themselves, and would

Spain to rule over them-they were

piled to Jerssymen, has como 70 -

Girls in the Wine Vats.

A residentin Italy vouches for tho
following: In the vineyards in
Perugia the girls mount ladders and
clip the rich bunches, dropping
them into the basket. With indus
trious workers, one day is enough to
clear an average vineyard. When
the grapes are al! gathered in they
ore carefully picked from the stems
for the pressing. This last process
is tho same primitive, simple opera
ton that was performed by the pa.
triarch Noah. The grapes are thrown
into an enormous vat, where tho
juice is trampled out of them by the
bare feet. At this stage OF the vint.
age you may see hundreds OF the
young ladies Of the city of Perugia
coming forth in groops in the morn
lug, beaming with pleasant mystery
aud excitement.
Your ordinary tourists, whose only
intellectual and instructive pabulum
is gathered from the guide books,
has not the remotest conception Of
their object. He may think they
are out for an early constitutional.
But early constitutionals are not the
rage with italian ladies. Shall I
tell you tho secret of all that mystery
and excitement They are off to
tho country to tread in the wine
presses. 1t is q novel holiday to
them, besides being a most salutary
exercise. Even prim old dowagers
are known to "wade in" and Danish
the rheumatism by o half days ex.
ercise in the wine press. Apart from
the healthful exercise of tramping,
the new mash acts as bath to the
limbs, while the uprising fumes are
considered eminently stomacbic.
After the treading performance,
these ladies wash themselves in hot
wine, taking q moderate decoction
internally for the stomach's sake.
The effect is pleasant and rejuvinat-
ing, and is especially noticeable in
the vim with which they participate
in the dance, which is the usual
sequel to treading in the wine press.

cit is remarkable how people will
take in wonderful snake stories, y
said one OF the attaches of the Smith.
sonian Institute at Washington to q
correspondent a few days since, "and
yet many of the most remarkable of
the stories are true" This CONVEX
sation took place, says the cores
pondent, as I was introduced to the
snake family that spent their lives so
lazily in their immense snake cage
in the Smithsonian. In this glass
case are snakes of all kinds and dis
positions. Some are exceedingly
pleasant looking, while others will
make an ordinary person shudder to
look at them. These snakes are
long and short, thick and thin. and
Of all colors, while some are appar-
emily changing their color all the
time. One of them has a bull dog
looking head, and is nearly as thick
as q bologna sausage, aud not over q
couple Of feet in length. II am
satisfied" said the Smithsonian
snakeologist, "that more people
look at these snakes than any thing
else in the museum. They appear
to have a special fascination for
ladies. I can't understand the rea-
son, but it is fact. Ladies will
hang around tho snake case longer
and appear to be more interested
than in the contents of any other
case. A Bible man said to me the
other day, in explanation of this,
that probably Mother Ewes associa-
ton with snakes. in allowing her
self to be charmed into eating the
forbidden fruit, had something to do
with it. "Of course I do not know
whether this is so or not, but you
can see for yourself that the snake
case is an attraction" As this talk
was going on, q group of ladies were
looking ut the snakes as they crawled
about and tangled themselves in an
apparently inextricable knot.

Why FARMERS SHOULD DE EDUCAT-
ED.-Farmers often claim that their
interests are not fairly dealt with in
the laws passed by State Legisla-
lures; and that where they form a
part Of the legislative body they are
ovelreached by the lawyers. But if
the education Of the farmers was
carried forward rs it ought to be,
they would have the power which
larger knowledge is sure to carry
with it. When they learn to do
their own thinking and reasoning, Il
measure of success will be assured
to greatly enhance the influence they
will unavoidably exert.
Or if we come down from the
halls of legislation to the sphere OF
the day labor, we shall still find n
strong argument in the higher
wages that are paid for the skilled
labor when brought into competi-
ton with unskilled. TIE skill is
generally proportioned to ths de,
gree of intelligence, and the in
telligence in proportion to the edu'
cation. The exceptions only prove
the rule more forcibly. From what
ever point of view we look at the
matter, it stands out with more ano
more Importance.

As TO Ono. Why Ohio should
be conceded to Garfield by some
Democratic papers and speakers we
cannot see. Ohio is at all times a
debatable State, and cannot be car
risd by the Republicans unless they
have an unexceptionally strong can
didate in the field. Such q candi-
date they do not have this year.
Garfield is weak just where the Re-
publicans are strongest-in the
Western Reserve. This has been
shown in every election since 1872.
1t was especially observable in 1876.
In that year Hayes received 29,992
votes, while Garfield only polled
20,Ol2, a difference of $3.50 votes
afainst the latter. Hayes plurality
in the State over Tilden was 7 SIG.
Thus it is seen that if the party had
not been ever so much stronger than
Garfield in the Reserve, Hayes would
have lost Ohio by the difference in
the vote of that district alone.
There is no reason to believe that
Garfield is stronger elsewhere in the
State than in his own Congressional
district. The same cause--his un-
savory record-operates against him
everywhere, and is likely TO cau'e a
proportionate loss of votes. Han
cock is as strong. if not stronger
than his party in Ohio, while former
votes show that Garfield is much
weaker than his. 1t is, therefore,
granting altogether too much to
concede Ohio to Garfield. 1t is a
doubtful State at best, with the
chances this year in favor of Han
cock.

The Republicans have been caught

letter purporting to come from Car

the Church. The Cardinal himself
exposes the forgery. A most despic-
able trick this, and fully in keeping

Hancock and English. Gov. Pear.

Kissing her Foot.

During his first visit to Faris, NJ.
Lasalle, distinguished German,
presented himself at the house OF a
well-known lady, to whom he had
sent letters of introduction in ad-
vance. When the servant opened
the door and received his card she
conducted him to the boudoir and
told him to be seated. saying
MADAME will come Immediately. ="
Presently the lady entered. She
was in deshabille, and her feet were
bare, covered only with loose slip
pers. She bowed to him carelessly,
and said: All! there you are! good
morning. She threw herself on a
sofa, let fall slipper, and reached
out to Lasalle very pretty foot.
Lasalle was naturally completely as
founded; but he remembered that at
his home in Germany it was the
custom sometimes to kiss o lady's
hand, and he supposed it WAS the
Paris mode to kiss her foot. There
fore he did not hesitate to imprint q
kiss upon the fascinating foot SO
near him; but he could not avoid
saying; 81 thank you, madame, for
this new mode of makiug a lady's
acquaintance. tits much better and
certainly more generous than kissing
the hand"
The lady jumped up highly indig-
nant.
"Who are you, sir ? and what do
you mean?"
He gave his name.
You are not, then, a corn-doc-
tor ?"
~ am charmed to say, madame,
that / am not"
"But you sent me the corn-doc-
tors card"
It was true. Lasalle, in going
out that morning had picked up the
card of corn-doctor from his bureau
aud put it in his pocket. This, with
out glancing at. he had given it to
the servant. There was nothing to
do but laugh over the joke.

CHINESE FORTUNE TELLERs.-These
men carry on their profession in
the streets of the city also, where
there is space available. A mat is
spread on the ground, with q stick
fixed at each corner, around which a
strip of cloth is cast to form IN in.
closure for the fortune teller and
his hen, which is in small bamboo
cage. By his side is an open box
containing number OF very small
rolls of paper with sentences or
single characters written on them.
In front of him is a long row of
fifty or sixty small pasteboard en-
velopes which also hold single char.
acters or the devination OF sentences.
A little board painted white for
writing on, and the ink-stone" and
pencil are at hand ready for use.
An enquirer who wishes to consult
him, squats down on his heels out
side the enclosure, pays three cash
(half a farthing) and tells his story,
stating what he wishes to know. lie
is told to pick out roll from the
box. which, having done, he hands
it to the man, who unrolls it, and
writes its contents on the board.
He then opens the door of the cage,
and the hen marches forward to the
row of envelopes; after peering over
them inquisitively, she picks out
ore and let's it fall to the ground.
A few grains Of rice are thrown into
the cage and she returns. The en-
velope is opened, and the characters
inside also written on the board,
from two inscriptions on which the
consulter's prospects are announced.
The hen is regarded as the arMteI
of fate, without the possibility OF
collision, or Misrepresentation OF
any kind.

Brave and Coo

A lamp-hghter in Leeds, England.
while making his rounds at half-past
four IN the morning fortnight ago.
noticed flames bursting from a booksel-
ler's house. He gave the alarm but the
firemen arrived too late to save the
house, two stories of which were already
blazing. The bookseller and his wife.
who slept on the third floor, appeared at
the windows in their nightdress. and
called upon the fremen to rescue them.
The husband ran down the stairs lead
ing from the bedroom to the second
floor to ascertain if it were possible to
escape through the shop into the street,
but he found that the. stairs leading from
the second floor were on fire, and he was
severely burned. fastening back to
his wife, and closing the bedroom door
to prevent the dense volume of smoke
which now began to roll up stairs from
suHocating them, he tied a number of
sheets and blankets together, and fasten-
ing one end around his wife, lowered her
from the window into the street beneath.
When she was still some distance from
the ground he was compelled to let her
drop, but she was caught by the fremen
and escaped uninjured. He then leaped
on the coping of the shop, and thence
into blanket held out to recover him
by those below. All this time the fire
was raging fercely in the small shop
and the room above, and few minutes
after the inmates had been saved the
flames burst through the shutters. Few
men III so great an emergency would
have shown such presence of mind.
