Midnight Harvesting.

The excessively hot and dry weather,
having made it almost impossible for far
mers to harvest their grain by day, owing
to the hrittleness Of the straw, many Of
them have adopted the plan Of harvesting
by night. The full moon affords sufficient
light, the dew renders the straw less brittle,
so that the sheaves may be much more
easily and securely tied and the labor to
both man and beast is much less in the
refreshing shades Of night than in the
broiling sun of day. Some wheat field $
last night were filled with workmen. and

THE magnificent service rendered by the
telegraph companies in keeping the coun-
try posted as to the doings of the late Gin
cinnati convention. was a feature of that
notable gathering not less prominent than
that rendered on the occasion Of the con-
vention in Chicago, three weeks ago, when
their work evoked the astOnishment and
admiration Of intelligent people every
where. To the activity and courtesy of
the managers of the rival telegraph COM
panies in this city-Mr. John E. Zecher, of
the American Union, and Mr.. d. II. Potts.
of the Western Union, the INTELLIGENCER
is indebted for the very complete bulletins
received during the sittings of the conven-
ton, and which Immediately found their
way to the INTELLIGENCER board and were
thus communicated to the public. The
news of Gen. Hancock's nomination was
taken red-hot from the wires by Mr.. Zecll-
er, as it was sent with lightning speed from
the convention hall, without stopping
at any "way Stations and moment
later the breathless messenger boy had ar
rived at the INTELLIGENCER Office with the
information, and the excited throng that
surrounded the building knew who was to
to be the next president of the United
States. Verify, this is an aye of progress,
and time and space are no longer factors

How Stanley met Livingstone.

Selim Hashme, young Arabian, now in Washington, who was the first man to greet Livingstone, when the expedi- tic found the explorer, has been inter- viewed by Post reporter. Selim says that he was induced by trick of Stan ley to go with him to Africa, Stanley having promised to place the young Arab at college, but taking him on the expedition instead. He described the battle between Stanley's force and that of King Mirambo. The latter wanted tribute before allowing the caravan to pass through his country, but it was re- fused. During the conflict the me1 all deserted the white man, and Stanley wanted to give up the contest, but Selim refused, and continued to fight while Stanley went back to find his men. 2 Speaking of the meeting with Living - stone, the Arab said to the reporter:
 When we arrived very near to Ujiji we met two head servants of Dr. Living. stone. One was named Chooma, the other Susie. They were dressed in white shirts and wore white turbans. They said, Good morning, sir; how do you do" speaking in the English lan- guage."
 "How did Stanley act P'
 He was very excited. I said: Do you believe now that we have found Livingstone p He replied: No, no {; not until l see him with my eyes, The servants of Livingstone remained with US to show us the road, as it was yet eight hours travelling to Ujiji. was at the head of the caravan, and was the first to see Livinstone. Without stop ping, I rushed back to Stanley and shouted: T saw Livingstone"
 ''Then what did he say p''
 "He merely said, I shall not believe 1t until l see him. So I hurried Stan ley up to tbe front, and pointing with my hand to the man whom he had come see him?' Then Stanley's calmness left him, and he lifted his cap and shouted, Hurrahr"
 How did the two men act ?"
 i've were then at Ujiji. Stanley and Livingstone stood far off from each other, looking hard st one another, as if they did not know what to do. Then Stanley lifted his cork hat and Living stone lifted his cap, which had gold stripes. Stanley said, Dr. Livingstone, l presume.' forgot what Livingstone said"
 q Did they embraceP"
 No, they merely shook hands. Livingstone was plainly angry because
 
 He did not like Americans to find him. Then we went to his hut, made of mud and dried grass. Its carpet was buffalo skins, and lion and tiger skins were on the walls. We took seats on the floor, and Livingstone was very anxious to hear about the world outside. About five or six minutes afterward Stanley said: Selim, bring out the last bottle of champagne.' It had been kept for this occasion. I got the bottle and a little silver and gilt cup Stanley lad brought from Bombay. We had no corkscrew, aud asked should break the bottle. Mo- said Stanley. you will lose the champagne He took the bottle and managed it in way that saved the wine. He gave the silver-gilded glass to Livingstone, and I brought him an African cup made out of the shell of cocoanut. I poured out the wine, fir to Livingstone and then to Stanley. They drank three times, first to America, then to England, and last to Living stone's health, and to Stanley for having found hfm.n

Going a Little too Far.

Under the reign of the first Caliph there was merchant in Bagdad, equally rich and avaricious. One day he had bargained with porter to carry ho L e for him basket of porcelain vases for ten paras. As they went along he said to the man:
 My friend, you are young and l am old; you can still earn plenty; strike off, l beseech you, 8 para from your hire.n
 'sWillingly p replied the porter.
 This request was repeated again and again. until, when they reached the house, the porter had only a single para to receive. As they went upstairs the merchant said:
 If you will resign the last para will give you three pieces of advice"
 ssBe it so," said the porter.
 ss Well, then,'' lid the merchant, !" if any one tells you it is better to be fasting than feasting, do not believe him. If any one tells you it is better to be poor than rich do not believe him. If any one tells you it is better to walk than ride, do not believe him."
 My dear sir, replied the astonished porter, < knew these things before; but, if you will listen to me, will give you such advice as you never heard.
 The merchant turned round, and the porter throwing the basket down the staircase, said to him:
 " If any one tells you that one of your vases is nbroken, do not believe him.
 Before the merchant could reply the porter made his escape, thus punishing his employer for his miserly greediness.

One morning, not many days ago, mum Der of Te xans sat around the stove in the office of a hotel in San Antonio, roasting their heels and talking of Mexi- can raiders. A New York drummer entered the place, registered, and was asking about breakfast, when one of the men approached him and said:
 Hello! Mr. Gould. My names Me- Thomas; got your letter and was look ing for you"
 Hello. Mac" replied the drummer, who saw it was 8 case of mistaken iden- tity, and offered 8 chance for fun.
 Every boot-heel came down off the stove, and every mouth was turned side- ways Q spit.
 Go right into breakfast, lots of time for business" continued the man, and the hungry drummer disappeared in the dining room. When he had finished breakfast he returned to the office to find it empty. He sat picking his teeth when the landlord edged up and said:
 Boys rather got the start of you, MT. Gould"
 s'How's that p''
 "Why, McThomas owns twenty horse coach line running out of here, and he dropped the boys 8 hint that you were after it to complete your south west line. While you were in at break fast the4 boys form ed stock company, bought him out, and are going to make you pay for the whistle"
 '' ''That's bad go for them. My name isn't Gould"
 What, aren't you Jay Gould, of New Yorkp"
 '' Not quite; I am Sam Smith, of New York.''
 s'Great heavensi But the boys will have your scalp! You answered to the name, and they raised eight thousand dollars here in two minutes to buy out the line. You'd better fly."
 But can't. I've come here to do business"
 Never mind the business. One side or the other will pant for your blood as soon as the game is exposed. They will be back in twenty minutes :"
 The drummer picked up his grab-bag and walked. Pretty soon he met a man with 8 shotgun in his hands, and then he hurried. He turned 8 corner and heard some one cry halt !" and then he flew, and he didn't fold his wings until he was hundred miles away Wall Street Nea1s.

The Difficulties of an Editor.

A London paper pithily states the difficulties under which editors labor If an editor omits anything he is lazy. If he speaks of things as they are people get angry. If he glosses over or smooths down the rough points he is bribed. If he calls things by their proper names he is unfit for the position of an editor. If he does not furnish readers with jokes he is an idiot. If he does he IS rattle head, lacking st.abil- ity. If he condemns the wrong he is a good fellow, but lacks discretion If he lets wrongs and injuries go unmen- toned he is coward. If lie exposes a public man he does it to gratify spite, is the tool of clique, or belongs to the ssouts v If he indulges in personalities he is a blackguard. If he does not his paper is dull and insipid

A Case that Puzzles the Physicians,

The Chicago doctors are puzzled and interested by peculiar case in that city. Willie Crawford, aged fourteen years, son of William Crawford, cap tain of tugboat, has for seven years been sweating blood at times, and lately has had severe attacks which alarmed his parents. His intirmity comes on him usually after taking cold. Great black patches appear on his body, from which blood drops the size of pin head exude. Blood flows from his mouth, nose, eyes, stomach, and even from the bladder and kidneys. No pain accompanies these discharges, but they make his blood thin and weaken him. Sudden fright or excitement will tenn porarily check the flow. He is mentally bright, and his father, mother, brothers and sisters are strong and healthy. The physicians who have taken an interest in his case propose sending him to Edin- burg and London for examination by the Academy of Surgeons.

 Mrs. Moulton's experience as the wife of Count von Hatzfeldt ought to be a lesson for giddy-headed American girls who are so anxious to marry into 3 titled family. The count was offered the position of secretary of state upon the condition that he renounce his American wife. He did so.--Haytford Post.
 Mile. Dosne, sister-in-law of M. Thiers, has started in Paris the craze for collecting ancient and fancy kitchen ware. Another lady has set up the fashion of having kitchens fitted up with fancy tiles in the walls, and with gas jets springing out from behind old china plates. Sine has her coat of arms en- graved on all her copper utensils. Lady Florence Dixie, an English woman. who is an energetic traveller, was savagely attacked by & jaguar in South America. In self-defense Lady Floren e shot the animal and captured her cub. She took it to England, and it has grown to be beautiful creature, so tame and gentle that if it were not so mischievous it might go at large.

 The Rev. J Knox Little, of Mauches- ter, Eng, in a recent sermon to women, in Philadelphia, talked very earnestly and plainly on the duties of daughters, sisters, wives and mothers. He also strongly denounced the abominable fashion of women aping men in dress. He said: "Cigarette hats and long tailed jackets are not becoming to the embonpoint of the average widow or maiden lady. Man, who is logical, may wear ma hematically cut garments, but Christian woman should not try to appear mannish."
