We lay it down as an axiom that the
farmer who cannot afford a cover for
his implements and vehicles has no
business with buggy.
A buggy is too frail and delicate to
stand heat and storms. The buggy
must be kept housed when not in use.
When brought out of the house it
should be busted with feather buster.
If it comes home muddy it should be
cleaned before putting in the house. 1t
may be inconvenient, but in the end it
will pay. There is no need Of taking it
to the creek, and there attack it with

The WOOdhulI'S Daughters
Catch

New YORK, July 13.-An associated
press dispatch from London announces
that Lord Colin Campbell is to marry
Miss Gertrude Blood tomorrow week,
and that the princess Louise will attend
the wedding. The sun says! "The
lady here referred to is the daughter of.
Mrs. Victoria Woodruff Blood, formerly
of this city, at one time editor of Wood
hull &, Claflin's Weekly, well known for
her advocacy of advanced theories of
women's rights and as a candidate for
the Office of president of the United
States in the campaign of 1872. Mrs.
Woodruff Blood, was, we believe, di-
vorced from Col. Blood, and now writes
her name as Mrs. Victoria Woodruff.
The betrothal of Lord Colin Campbell
to Miss Blood was announced some time
ago, but the report was generally dis
credited. Mrs. Blood's sister, Miss
Clafin, was associated with Mrs. Wood
hull as an editor and a platform speaker.
In addition to her other labors. Mrs.
Blood is the author of an elaborate
treatise on finance. Lord Colin Camp
bell is the fifth son of the Duke of
Argyll, and brother of the governor
general of Canada. He is brother in
law to the Princese Louise, fourth
daughter of Queen Victoria.

city to obtain livelihood, and also the
miserable stuff that is sometimes palmed
off on the users of the weed for cigars
and smoking tobacco. The other day
three little italian boys were arrested
in that city who were found picking up
cigar stumps in the streets. They were
found to have collected over 1000, and
an investigation disclosed that this
business was conducted by a number of
men who sold the stumps for 10 cents a
pound to men who made them over

Clocks were first used in monasteries,
and the word originally meant bell, and
the two-clock and bell-in calling their
inmates to their devotions, performed
the same office, They were, however,
tower clocks not small 0pes for apart
ments. One was set up in France in
1874, and created a great excitement,
being the wonder Of the age. The
maker Of it was made a nobleman for
his services In constructing SO great a
piece of workmanship. The first one in
England was during the reign Of Ed
ward ], and was placed in the tower OPP
posite Westminster Palace. The hour
glass and sun dial had long been in use,
but this was the first thing that could
be called a clock except the Water-clocks,
which had been taken from France to
England by Richard Occur de Lion.
The word watch is from the Saxon
word to wake" At first watch was
as large as saucer, and had weights,

The Escate of Frank Leslie.


The final proceeding in the matter of the
Frank Leslt assignment was taken yester'
day. An order was entered scquitling Mr..
Isaac w. England, the g-ignee, from all
further obligation to the II Ist, and discharge
ing and releasing the bondsmen who had be-
come his sureties in the sum of 500 600, and
canoeing THAR bond. The case has been
remarkable one, And probably stands unpar-
alleled in the Judicial history OF this
state. 1t is peculiar in that 1t
probably is the only instance on record
where an assigned eotstc, instead of beng
sold ia .ccordsncs with the provisions of the
assignment, hes been carried on by the
assignee in tho interest Of the creditors for
nearly four years. The experiment was
hazardous one, but in this case itseems to
have been attended with the best results.
The estate at the time it csme into the
posses.i ion of the assignee was inventoried at
S75 00O and was encumbered by debts
amounting to about $3.50 900. In less than
four wears the sseIchee had compro-
missed and obtained releases from all
the creditors aud has turned over to the e.
ecuirix of Mr. Frank LESLIE, who has mean
time died, an estate worth certainly not less
than $500 900 Though several millions OF
collars passed through Ma. Englisb's hands
during his assigDeesnip, his sccousis wer7
passed without the challenge ola dollar. la
these DAYS, when 80 much has to be published
about delinquent trustee and estates
acsorhed 10 the process Of administration, it
Is gratifying to fad go conspicu, US an illus
tration Of trust faithfully and wisely
