Work for the Mon tn of October.

Now begins the work of market
gardening in real earnest. Almost
anything can be plan ted to come in,
in rotation, but remember that any,
thing planted now will be only for
home consumption, for gardening tol
the northern trade will not be pro-
fitable before January. Why do
our people not plant out Asparagus
beds more than they do 7? 1t grows
here and comes to perfection in hall
the time that it does in the North
and we have plenty of land just
suited to it's culture. A burch oil
early Asparagus will often bring
$1.00 in the Northern cities and it
can stand transportation well. Hur.
ny on your strawberry planting,
manure with fertilizers that are
suited. Stockbridge &c Co., make a
fertilizer on purpose for strawberries.
The fault of our cultivators of this
berry, are, that they plant too close.
Water plentitully and when the ber-
ries begin to form mulch with pine
straw, or rice chaff. Do not allow
any loose rubbish about young
orange trees, rake round them quite
clean, and the summer mulch should
be buried. This grasses can now be
left alone, no further cultivation is
necessary, at the end of the month
you may white.wash the trunk of the
trees, if you are not opposed to it.
Get plenty Of pine wood cut and

Speaking of the resignation of Col.
Scott, the Philadelphia Times of Sun
day says: There could be but one
name presented as the successor of
Col. Scott. George B. Roberts is the
one man who possesses the ability,
experience and thorough comprehen-
sion of the present policy of the great
corporation which are indispensable
to the president of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, and be succeeds to
the responsible position by the united
voice of the shareholders, and enjoy
ing the unbounded trust of the public.
He has been in most hearty 40
cord with his predecessor, and
the pre-eminent fitness of the
promotion will be universally recog-
mixed. A. G. Cassett succeeds. Mr..
Roberts as first vice president, and
brings as nearly as possible, the same
progressive qualities to Mr., Roberts
that Col. Scott brought to Mr.. Thomp-
son when he was promoted to the
same position. The change will be
accepted as showing forth that the
present wisely directed policy Of the
company will be fully maintained
In P~ittsburg, VIM. Shaw and Andrew
Carnagle are mentioned as Col. Scott
successor. Col. Scott has been con.
nected with the Pennsylvania railroad
since 1851, and rose from a very hum
bic position to the presidency, Ia
which he was elected in 1875. liz
made the company the largest corpor.
alton in America, and overcame all
opposition by sheer pluck.

CLOWN AND CLERGYMAN.
How Dan Rice Played a Joke on
Henry Ward Beecher.

In 1864, Col. Dan Rice was exhib-
iting an immense circus and menagerie
in New York City. He claimed that
it was a strictly moral show, and in
order to procure the congregational
sanction of certain churches he in
vited the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
and the members of Plymouth church
to be present on a certain designated
evening. The invitation was accepted
and at the opening hour q long file of
church dead heads marched into the
circus.
Among the most attractive features
of the exhibitions was the "herd of
sacred cattle" which had been sent
from Calcutta, and were the only ones
of their kind ever seen in America.
This species Of animals was worship
ed in Hindoostan, and the natives
watched over them very ~zealously.
When the dysentery epidemic was
prevailing in India, the American
consul general at Calcutta, Charles
Hoffnagel, was ~unceasing in his min
istrations to the soldiers of the Brit
ish army who succumbed to the dis
ease. His efforts in behalf of the sol
diers were recognized by the English
home government, and on Hoffnagel's
return to America, after a service Of
thirty years, he was presented with
the sacred bull and COW. A calf was
born to the lonesome pair, and on the
d%ecease of Hoffnagle his estate was
put up at auction, and Dan Rice bid
in the three animals at a large sum.
On the evening alluded to at the
opening of this writing Dan was on
the sawdust, and excrted himself to
the utmost to impress Beecher and his
followers with the morality Of his
exhibition. When the sacred herd
were brought out the colonel gave a
short sketch of their history, and in
referring to their theistic distinction,
upheld the people Of Hindoostan in
their peculiar ideas Of worship. He
said:
In an old authentic book which
has been treasured in Christian realms
a passage occurs which proves that
even our Saviour found something to
worship. The passage referred to is,
when Jesus Christ passed through the
garden of Gethsemene he plucked a
flower which was pleasing to his
senses, delightful to his eyes, and be
J breathed upon it the breath of eternal
life. And that flower still lives, it
never dies"
HenryWard Beecher went away from
the highly moral show a somewhat
puzzled man. That passage from the
old book caused him a world of UNI
easiness. Meeting Dan the next
morning he said: See here, Mr.. Rice.
will you tell me where you discovered
the passage you referred to last night?
My reading has been extensive, but |
must confess that | have never met
with it," why" answered Dan, IF
you will go down to New Hope, Bucks
county, in Pennsylvania, and get
admitted to the library in the
house of the late Charles Hoffnagle,
you will find there a book called the
Mirror of Nature, and in the third
chapter of that book the passage
occurs"
The next morning Beecher left for
New Hope, leaving him a note to
effect that he would return in a few
days.
Of course he never found the book
nor the passage, and by the time he
found Dan Rice he was in a humor to
enjoy the joke.
