French Red Tape.

x8A0 Gc AQIuu WokANsl
On the day of Miss Nelson's death,
the body having been deposited at the
morgne, the Judge de PAX, in eco
dance with French law, ISSUED q decree
whereby the room which she had occu-
pied at the Continental Hotel was closed
and seals Of the curt affixed thereto.
The room remained in that condition
until last Saturday. Upon that day. all
formalities having been complied with
and the probate Of the English court
verified, the Judge de Paix in person at
tended, accompanied by his registrar,
and possession Of all the property wa
delivered to Mr.. George Lewis as
executor of the deceased lady. This
consists Of jewels and money, estimated
to be Of the value of E3, zoo. It may be
interesting, as some proof Of the use-
lessness OF French seals, to state that
when the room was opened it was ascer-
tanned that the windows had never been
closed and that anybody might easily
have entered the room by the balcony
running outside the windows. The
Judge de Paix seemed quite surprised
Mr.. Lewis called his attention to the
fact and turned to his registrar with evil
dent astOnishRent.

Headaches OF To-day.

We refer to those peculiar, throbbing
pains, which seem to fill the head to the
exclusion Of everything else. Such q
headache troubled Mrs A. Ettanger,
Plainfel1, N. J. She says: / suffered
for sixteen years with a painful nervous
headache, and I consulted many physi-
clans, in vain. Some time ago, / re-
ceived by chance a Hamburg Fnmity
Almanac, read the testimonials in favor
Of Hamburg Drops and bought a bottle
for trial. The effect was 20 beneficial
that / continued its use. Before many
weeks had passed / was cured, and now
keep this wonderful remedy constantly
on hand.

Of noted personages rarely fail to furnish
some incident calculated to minister to
the superstitious feeling. It is now re-

the room in which she wal lying and

claimed: Look at the great bird flying

occupant of the house.

THE method of selecting and saving
seed corn, prncticed by o New York
farmer, is, when husking, to select, from
stalks having two or more ears, the
6nest and best ears-those having a
small cob, we'll tipped out, rows regular
and straight, bright and clear seed, and
with no. strange kernels. On such he
leaves three or four husks, and when a
quantity has accumulated he takes one
or two dozen and braids the husks, adj
ding the ears on M side. These
. trusses : are then hung in some airy
loft, where they will not be liable to be
affected by moisture rising from any
thing stored beneath, or be attacked by
insects or verplin. The deeper the kerr
mel, with q given size of ear, the smaller
the cob and the larger the yield. The
eye will easily detect this with q little
practice.
WHEN wet land is draAned, the water
enters through the joints Of the drain
tiles all along the course II is not
necessary TO to provide inlets for the
water. It must he remembered that If
drain tiles are laid three feet below the
surface the pressure Of the water above
them is considerable, and viii force .
large quantity through y very small
space. The tiles may be laid 10 close
that . knife-blade cannot be inserted
between them, and yet the entering
water will be sufficient to keep an
inch and q half tile 60 rods long full
in wet weather. The cost Of draining
land depends on several conditions,
such " the character o. the soil, the
distance Of the drama. apart, and the
depth Of the drains; the sire Of tile de-
psnding upon the wetness q the land;
II these may vary the cost from about

CINCINNATI, March i6.-The Star to-
day publishes fruit aud crop reports from
nearly all points in the South and West,
made up by farmers of the various sec
tions. All through Ohio, Illinois and
Indiana the wheat crop Is reported as re-
markably fine, with larger acreage
sown than at any previous time. In
Kentucky, Kansas and Tennessee some
injury by fly Is mentioned, bu. the pros
poets are good for an average crop. Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Southern Ohio are
preparing to plant much more tobacco
than usual, and Kentucky also largely
increases the acreage devoted to hemp.
Peaches in few places have been some
what injured by the recent cold snap,
but the prospects are generally good for
a fine crop unless the present wet
weather terminates with a severe freeze,
VIII ch Is greatly feared IN every direc-
ton. Small fruits of all kinds promise
to be abundant. The farmers all speak
of return of better times and general
feeling Of prosperity. This is especially
the tone OF reports from the South.

ceiving no response to his summons he
proceeded to the Pennsylvania House,

more fortunate, and obtained admi t.
tance. He arose early in the morn
ing, and after eating breakfast, pro-
ceeded again to the City Hotel. Here
he engaged Mr.. John Dickinson to
drive him to Elkton and North East,
he having resided at the latter place
