n~ "Do you think you can make arrests
and guard prisoners ?" asked the Galveston
Chief of Police.
The applicant smiled a smile that made
everybody in the Office feel positively uncom-
Portable. 1t was the kind of smile that
John Mccullough, as OtheAo, smiles when,
towards the last, be begins to see through
"honest Iago."
Suppose you had six prisoners, and one
of them was to run of:-would you leave the
FIVE and follow up the fugitive?" asked the
Chief of Police.
"Why, no." responded the hard.faced appli-
cant. I'D shoot the FIVE who didn't try to es
cape, so would know where to look for them
when got back with the body of the other
one."
"That's all right in New York, but it is
too rough for Texas" replied the Chief of Po-
lice.

about one o'clock, a boy of about twelve went

A PUZZLED JUsTICE.-A man named Josh
was brought before country squire for steal.

volunteered his counsel for Josh, knowing the
scope of the squire's brain, arose and address,
ed him as follows:
"May it please your honor, [ can establish
this mans honesty beyond a shadow of a
doubt, for have twelve witnesses who are
ready to swear that they did not see him
steal it."
The squire rested his head for a few mo-
ments as if in deep thought, and with great
dignity arose, and, brushing back his hair,
said:

steal it, and only three who did, 1 discharge

CHRIsT's LEGAC1Es.-When Christ was
about leaving this world he made his will.
His soul he committed to his Father; his body

mother he left to the care of John. But what
should he leave to his poor disciples that had
left all for him? Silver and gold he had none,
but he left that which was infinitely better,
his peace. "Peace leave with you, my peace

BONE MEAL FOR GRAPE VINEs.-The ed
itor of the London Horticulturist asserts that
among all the fertilizers proposed for the
grape, none embody more of the necessary
ingredients than bone meal. 1tshould be ap'
piled as early in the season as possible. About
a ton to the acre makes dressing that will
prove valuable for two or three years. In the
West, as rule, the necessity for the phos-
pilates are not yet felt to any considerable
degrees. Where it is so, bone.meal is to be
recommended The quantity, however, is
excessive. One thousand pounds ought to

wax, cotton or fine lace, or even the human

eS' The greatest merit of a great many peo-
pie is that they do as other people do. Such
persons cannot tolerate any departure from
established modes of action. They move round
and round in d circle, and because they keep
moving as it is somewhere observed, they
fancy they are making progress and they are
never reminded of their error even when
they discover, after much motion, that they
are but short distance from their starting
point. Now, in despite of this class, it may
be laid down as rule that where there is a
great amount of character there will be great
amount of misunderstood action, which is
commonly called eccentricity, and usually most
unjustly translated to mean-fOlly. 1t is no
doubt we'll to do common things in a common
way, but this is distinct from Servile adop-
tion of the principle of imitation in every
thing; and no man of intellect, much less a
man of progressive energies, will submit to
walk only in the footpaths made by the many.
1t is one of the conditions upon which it's
efficiency or the success or failure OF it's efforts
depends that the mind shall act with freedom
and be permitted to cast off when r cessary
the restraint of rules founded merely on GUS
tom and having no basis in right.
THE DANGERS OF CHLoRoFoRM.--The
question whether you can put a person to sleep
without awakening them was legally investi-
gated during the trial of Mrs. Smith for being
an accomplice in the murder of her husband,
the policeman of Jersey City, she claiming to
have been chloroformed, audience unconscious
of the factth he was being killed while lying
in the same bed with her. DR.. T. V. Quimby
was unable on the trial, to testify from expe-
rience, as to whether or not it was possible to
chloroform any one without awakening them
with the fumes. He made three experiments.
Mr.. A. consenting, the doctor entered his room
and applied the chloroform without arOusing
the sleeper. A boy of thirteen had refused to
take chloroform for the performance of some
trivial operation. His mother gave him light
supper and put him to bed. The chloroform
was administered after he had fallen asleep,
and the operation performed without waking
the boy. Another boy had IL surgical opera
ton performed upon him with entire success.
1t is evidently dangerous weapon in the
hands of malefactors.

and we'll regulated rotation of crops is the
surest and cheapest way to improve worn
out land, always taking care when sowing
any kind of crops, whether small grain, peas
or clover, to plow the land deep. 1t is not
expected that farmer will take his whole
farm through this process at one time, but
he may use the best of it for corn or cotton,
while he improves part of it, and change it
about, so that in few years he may improve
it all. All land cultivated in corn should be
sowed in peas at the last blowing of corn. No
land should be cultivated in cotton more
than once without changing to another crop.

This Is not the case. Brown is absolutely dead
to baseball for the whole Of this season. Under
the League constitution his disability can only
and can only be heard by them at Il regular
annual meeting. There is, therefore, no earthly
chance for the reinstatement Of any player dis
ciplined by his Club under Sec. OF art X
until the playing season is ended. The League
is in better shape than ever before to
enforce this penalty. for there are many cx-
perienced and scryiceabe plAyers not yet under

has arrived when d ball player can be compelled

THE RAILROADS.

EAST-BoUSD FREIGHT MOVEMENT
The East-bound freight shipments by rail dur
ing the past week we're lighter than they have
been for years, and fears are entertained that
II the trunk lines persist in keeping up the
present rates they will go down still lower. The
total shipments Of flour, grain, and provisions
during the week ending May were
previous falling on q a4ls tons.
ments amounted to 1913 tons, so that in little
more than month there has been falling of
of S.. .T43 tons. For the week ending March q
the grain shipments amounted to 5s,G14 tons,
while during the past week they agxre-
gated only u,9H tons. These figures show
conclusive1y that the Eastern roads haye cause
to feel downhcarted over their prospects during
the summer. The Western lines, although their
business is a1su light, do much better than the
Eastern. as nearly all the business that is going
forward comes to Chicago to take the lake
routes. II the trunk-line managers persist in
keeping up the present rates much. longer,
in Joint Executive Committee, ns they
summer, and general cut in rates
cannot be avoided. It is stated that several Of
the Southwestern lines are already violating the
agreement by making special contracts with
large shippers, and By making fictitious way
hills. Mr.. Fink's edict to the Peorin roads last
week, ordering them to stop this sort of prnc-
tice. will have but little effect, as long as the
roads must have business to keep their rolling
stock moving.
