Usage Hedge.


"A Nebraska correspondent Of the

Usage hedge which, in the main, is a most
sensible mode of management; fol
"A foot apart is, in my Judgment,
about the ight distance to set hedge
plants; they grows little more thrifty
set that distance, and it is a little less
work to pplash 1t than when 1t is set
closer. Still I think good thorough sul-
ture has more to do with the growth of
plants than the distance apart The OBJ
lection to setting the plants 80 far apart
is that il plant or two misses there is
o hole in the fence. A. ID. T.'s asser-
| tion that the lateral branches will fill it
up to the contrary notwithstanding If
you wish to make the hedges to make a
pig-tight fence Of it, it is very difficult to
get it down close enough to prevent a
g-hole, and if you wish to let it stand
as it is, and make careful fence, IN a
few years the lower branches will die
off and you have a cattle hole. I have
had to put holes in two-foot gap to
prevent cattle getting through after
the hedge got to be ten or twelve years

Edgar A. Poe.

Poe world have been remarked upon
the street. He was Of slighter form
than Willis less mindful Of his dress,
pale, and with singularly dark and
commanding eve. In room without a
hat, his nigh, white forehead and in
tellectual aspect at once distinguished
him, His domestic life was believed to
be unhappy 1t was known that he was
poor and lived by his pen, and it was
understood he was the victim Of strong
drink. He died suddenly at Baltimore,
and "Dr.1 Griswold published a memoir
of him which his friends and admirers
believed to be theft impression Of the
man, so that he. was described as dis
solute, fantastic writer, who died at Bal
timore in consequence Of fits of intoxica
ton" 10 90 ~ '..-A'+
Poe. was as bitter in commenting u,on
his contemporaries as Willis was friend
ly. He defed censure, and expressed
a scorn Of the public, to which with the
inscinct of genius, he yet appealed. He
went to Boston to read a poem. There
was large audience and great expecta-
tion. Poe read some verses written
when he was boy. Boston said that
he was drunk. Poe retorted that the
poem was good enough for frogpondon
ians The fact apparently was that he
intended to write a poem for the occa-
sion, but was prevented by stress Of oc-
cupation. In brief preface to the slight
volume Of his verse. The Raven and
other poems, published in Wiley and
Putnam's rLibraryl Of choice Reading
in lS45 Poe says: "With nue., poety
has been, not a purpose, but passion;
and the passions should be held in re-
verenco; they must not--theysean not
at will be excited at the more paltry
commendetionsofmankind" Thisseems
to he merely the usual Byronic strain.
But it is childish towrite for those whose
Judgment you sneer. If a man writes
for the love Of writing, heprlnts because
he wishes other people to read what he
writes. A man who withdrawsasa her.
NIT to Central Park may scof at man
kind, but he is plainly no enamored Of
solitude, Yet this sneer of Poe's, in
the light Of the truth now told Of his
life, was not dlsdain but unhappiness.
The memoir Of Griswold really seems
to be'%hat Mr.. Minto calls it, "a mal;g-
nant myth" and Mr.. Ingram. rho had
already edited an English edition Of
Poe's works, was patiently and conclu'
sively disposed of many of the ISLANDERS
which have pursued the name or the
! lpoet. Ofmany facts il his life the true
explanation is very different from the
usual version. But it is the greatest
service to Poe's memory to show that
hisdissipations was not the, cause of his
misfortunes produced his dissipation

The Stone Lamb.

; A German clergyman tells story in
a very interesting book of his about
things which have really happened to
him, OF which he has met with on his.
travels. In 1863 he stood. with little
band of travellers, before beautiful
chapel Of Werden der Ruhr, in Ger
many, waiting for the key to be brought
that the door might be unlocked for
them to enter. While they waited thev
saw something on the ledge of the roof,
which they found TO be a. carved stone
lamb, and began to wonder what it
meant UP there! SO thewasked an old
woman who was hobbling along a little
way of if she could cell them about it,
and she replied eyes," and related why
it had been placed in that strange place
"Mapy, manyE years ago." she said,
"where that larub now stands, man
was busy repairing the. roof Of the chap
Ell, who had to sit in basket fasten cd by
a rope as he worked. Well, he was
working in this manner one day when
suddenly the rope which held the basket
gave way and he fell down, down from
the great height to the ground below.
TOf course every one who saw the dread
full accident expectedthat the man would
be killed; especially as the ground just
there was covered with sharp stones and
rocks which the workmen were using for
building But, totheir' great astonish-
uent, he rose from the ground and stood
up quite uninjured 'And this was how
it happened: "A poor lamb had wander

search of the sweet young grass which
sprung up among the stones, and the
man had fallen exactly on the soft body
of this lamb--it mad saved lis life; for
he had escaped with the mere fright and
with not SO much as finger broken
But the poor lamb was killed by his
heavy fall upon it. So, out Of pure
gratitude, the man had the stone lamb
carved and set up for a lasting memento
of his escape from 80 fearful death, and
OF what he owed to the poor lamb.

ELECTIoNEERING STORY Mr.. S. G.
Harris, Republican candidate for Auditor,
is, we are Informed, engaged IN privately
circulating the stery that Judge Burke,
in his presence, raised his hand and made
oath that he would never, under any cir
cumstances, vote for a Republican. Those
whs personally know Judge Burke will
give no credencc to this story, He has
been elected Judge of Probate twice by
Republican votes, and at every election
in this county there has been large in
tcrchange of votes; Republicans voting
for Democratic candidates and Democrats
voting for Republican candidates. When
Judge Jacobs was first candidate, he
received over zoe Democratic vo.es in
this county; giving him 440 majority,
where Judge McFadden received 178
majority two years before, At the same
election Capt. Hill was elected Treasurer
and Mr.. Wyckoff elected Sheriff by Dem>
ocratic votes, without which they would
both have been defeated At the same
election Mr.. Booth was elected Auditor
by Republican and Democratic votes
combined. Two years ago the same can~
didates were elected, together with Judge
Burke, the Democratic candidates by Re-
publican votes and the Republican candi-
dates by Democratic votes. Mr.. Brents,
at the same election, received the votes
of many Democrats, including the editor
of this paper. upon the question of plat
form, on which he now stands as the
candidate of the other side.
If "Vane" proposes to risk the chances
of his election by tying to Brents, he is
the last person who should urge his own
CLAIMS upon strictly party issue. 1t will
cali public attention to the fact that two
years ago, after having been defeated for
nomination in convention, he announced
himself, in apublished card, as an '.inde>
pendent candidate and bolter, and had
to be propitiated. 1t was understood
that he would have repeated that experi~
ment this year If Slorah had been nomi>
mated. The young man has many per-
sonal friends in both political parties,
but will not add to his friends by assail>
ing the personal integrity of Judge Burke
in behalf of Brents.
