son, has lately passed into the possession OF
Captain Austin Budden, Of the 18th Kent Al! Ar
walks through the lanes, and the fields, and
the woods, was trait OF his character with
which his biographer has made all appreciative
readers familiar. Note has been made In the
preceding chapter Of his rambles to Shorne,
and Gotham, and Chalk, and these were among
his most favorite walks; but many were also
when friends were staying at the place, in the
cherry orchards and hop gardens OF this beau
ttful county, and the excursions made to more
distant spots among which was Blue Bel Hin,
hood of the remarkable Druidical monument
called Kits Coty House.
One OF his longest pedestrian rambles, only
made in the Autumn when the stubble could be
crossed, commenced at the lane leading to
Higham, In which stands the blacksmfth's

opposite side of the Midway. There are the
ruins OF an Old castle there, ana the dreary
churchyard and the adjacent marshes are the
scenes OF some Of the most striking incidents In
the story Of Great Expectations"
tits In the churchyard OF Cooling that the
story just mentioned opens, the first chapter
introducing Pip to the reader as, when boy, he
sat there alone-'a bleak place overgrown
with nettles"- contemplating by the fading
twilight the graves of departed members OF his
family, and 1.-THE dark fiat wilderness beyond
the churchyard, intersected with dykes and
mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding
on 1t, p" and 1.-the low leaden line beyond" which
marked where the river ran. Then the escaped
convict Magwitch, appears on the scene, and
boy into procuring for him file from the
workshop OF his brother-in-law, Joe Gargery,
with which to remove his letters. The man
turns of the story; and then we have a descrip-
ton Of the prospect across the marshes, which
brings the scene as wildly before the minds
eye as If we saw it In picture.

Strange Recoveries Of Lost Articles.


At friends house one evening, a lady pres
ent, who was good musician, was requested
TO sing. Before doing so, she took of a very
handsome diamond ring, saying 1t was rather
large for her, and used Sometimes to fall off her
finger when she was playing. She laid it with her
gloves on the piano near her. AS she rose from

safe enough, under some pieces of music, but no
sign Of the ring. Search was made Immediately
everywhere that 1t was possible that a ring
could nave fallen, to no purpose. Two years
went by without any tdings of the missing
ring, when one day strange kind Of jingling
noise was noticed In the piano. tuner was
sent for, and on the works being examined to
see what caused the noise, he found the diamond
ring, which had somehow got within the wires
when the position OF the piano had been changed
had been made present OF very beautiful
half-hoop emerald ring by my uncle, who
brought 1t to me from India, and accordingly
valued it very much, and always wore it. One
day, on nv return from morning concert,
missed 1t. How or where had lost 1t l did not
know. l remembered perfectly well seeing 1t
on my finger In the concert room, for had
taken on my glove to arrange the opera glass.
looked in all directions for it. Thinking l
might have dropped it In the street, had bills
printed and posted everywhere, Offering large
months went by and heard nothing OF it,
gave up all hope OF ever seeing my favorite ring
again. 1t was nearly six years after that no

On taking 1t out what was my delight to see
once more my much-valued, long-lost emerald
ring! Though did not distinctly remember 1t

some way or other the ring must have slipped

A gentleman sitting at an open window being
called out OF the room, left on the window sill
small gold pencil with which he had been writ
ing. When he returned in a few minutes no
pencil was there. This appeared very strange
to him, for no one had entered the room while
he was away; so he was completely puzzled as
to where II had so quickly disappeared. Next
autumn, when the leaves were Off the trees,
bright object was seen hanging from the very
highest branch OF large beech tree. With
some difficulty it was reached. and proved to be
the missing pencil, which had short piece OF
black cord fastened to 1t. AS the trees about
there were known to be favorite resort OF
magpies, it was thought that one Of them had
snatched the pencil on the Window-sill as they
are well-known thieves Of any shining objects;
and most likely the cord had caught In the
branch and held before the maybe could convey
1t 10 his hiding place.

His Honest Opinion,

About 10 O'Clock the other forenoon a man got
OF the ferryboat looking as If he expected to be
grabbed by some one in waiting. No one trou-
bed him, however, and after hanging around
for awhile he called citizen aside and said:
stranger, want to ask your candid opinion
about NATTER
IAN right-go ahead"
Suppose that you were my wife?"
Eyes"
"And that should come home looking just as
l do now?"
yes"
What would be your strongest impression?
Give me your honest opinion"
The citizen thus appealed to turned the man
around, looked into his eyes, snuffed of his
breath, and stood back and said:
stranger, Is your wife lunatic or fool"
''No, SIR"
"Then you'd better wait at least ten hours
before you go home, for you've been on three
days drunk and she'll spot you in a minute
I've gone home looking 90 per cent. better than
you do. and had whole handfuls Of hair pulled
out OF my head before could get my oyercoat
or
81 shall ever remember this favor-indeed
shall!" exclaimed the stranger, and he started
up the wharf to look for some secluded spot in
which to kill time and get the drunk out Of his
looks.-Detro0 Free Press.

WASHINGTON, DC.

The EVENING STAR, ION Saturdays double
sheet or eight page paper of flfty-six columns,
the size of the New York dailies), is everywhere
recognized as the leading newspaper of Wash
ington. With two exceptions only, it has the
largest circulation OF any daily paper published
south of Ne,c York, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE
THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY.
Every issue of THE STAR Is carefully read
not only by the citizens of Washington and ad-
jacent cities, but by the thIongs of strangers
constantly visiting the National Capital on
business or for pleasure, (and who constitute,
in very large degree, the purchasing popula-
ton Of every State and Territory In the Union),
thus making it for most purposes
THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Its influence as an agent of publicity has in
deed practically no limit within the boundaries
of the country. The best evidence OF this is the
number Of new advertisements it printed In the
year 1879, which reached 90, 1886, averaging
from LOO to 1900 per month in the busy
season.! These figures include only the sub
ject Of the advertisement, and not any change
OF the matter, which, in some instances, is made
daily, and, although new advertisement in
fact, Is not counted but once, instead Of 80 pup
LEGATION dates. The advertising books are open
to the inspection Of advertisers to verify this
statement, or an affidavit of its truthfulneSS
will be submitted.

VARIETIES FOR THE FARMER.

"Gentlemen," said a farmer, Writing to
the chairman of an agricultural society, ''put
me doWn on your list of cattle for a calf"
Colonel J. L. Stlchter, a prominent member
of the Berks County Agricultural Society, is
interesting himself in the cultivation Of the
sugar beet in that county.
An old poultry raiser, who believes in milk
for fowls, says at is both meat and drink.
Some of the finest chickens l ever saw were
raised upon the free use of milk with their
food. Hens lay as we'll, or better, when
furnished with this, thai. upon any known
article offered them.'
Wheat, rye, oats and all the grasses seem
most benefited by nitrcss"n. This element
is supplied by the nitrate of soda, and is
applied to wheat in the fall to make a quick
and strong growth in the spring to all the
other crops the usual application being 100 to
$50 pounds per acre.
A man bought a horse. 1t was the first one
he had ever owned. He saw in a newspaper
that a side window would make . horses eye
weak on that side a window behind him
would make HIN squint-eyed a window ON a
diagonal line would make him shy when he
travled; a window in front would hurt his
eyes by the glare and a stable without a
window would make him blind.

HINTS FOR

New linen may be embroidered more easily
by rubbing it over with fine white soap; it
prevents the thread from cracking.
To remove grease from wall paper, lay sew
eral folds of ~blotting-paper on the spot and
hold a hot iron near it until the grease is alb
sOrbed.
TO take ink out of linen, dip the Ink spot
into pure melted tallow, then wash out the
tallow, and the ink will come out with it.
This is SAID to be unfailing.
If brooms are wet in boiling suds once a
week they will come very tough, will not
cut a carpet, will last much longer, and Always
sweep like a new broom.
To remove rust from a stove-pipe, rub with
linseed Oil "a little goes a good way); build a
slow fire at first till it is dry. Oil in the
spring to prevent it from rusting.
To clean brass, immerse or wash IL several
times in sour milk or whey. TINS will bright
Ell il without securing. 1t may then be
secured with a WOODEN cloth dipped in ashes.

Cincinnati Saturday Night This country
seems likely to be in great need of a second
fiddler. Blaine says he won't play second
fddlert to Grant. Sherman won't hear of such
a thing. Logan frowns his darkest frown,
bristles up his mustache and swears he won't.
Then, on the other side, Hendricks says no
more second fiddles for him. Tilden is
attacked with a species of epilepsy at the bare
idea of his taking up the violin secundus. A
suggestion Of such a thing to Bayard would
be such a shock to his dignity as to prove fatal
more than likely and as for Thurman, why
the old man would take that second fiddle
and smash it over the head of any one who
presented it to him.. Our country should feel
proud in the possession of so many first tid-
oilers, but where are our second fiddlrrs COM
ing from?
