Found in the Act of Stealing He Escapes Cap
cure by Barking Like Dog:
From the Americas tGa) Republican.
A Dooly county man tells us the follow
ling on one Of the cleverest young bachelors
of that county, Gus NJ. He. says:
One night last,week! Gus took his usual
walk around his premises to see that all
things were right. He had gone through
the barnyard and his hog pens, passed the
fowl house and was nearing the smoke
house, when he thought he heard
noise in his potato house. He
approached quickly and found it
ohen. Anal. he had caught thief in the
act Of stealing potatoes Standing ir front
Of the door and peering into the gloom Of
you doing in there? Come out" The only
answer he evoked was fierce growl. "You
nasty dog he shouted, ''come out. Do
you think I wsnt to eat potatoes you have
slept on and messed over? Come out, sir, y
he said, with a stamp Of the foot: Agrowl
tiercer and more threatening followed.
''Well, sir, just stay there until get my
gun and I'll bring you out by the heels. !"
Gus went into the house and was back IN q
few seconds. CHOW, sir, come out" he
shouted. All was silence except the bark
ing of a dog hundred or two yards off to-
wards the woods. "Come out, I say
"Bow, WOW ,wow!" from the woods. won't
you come out?' Bow, WOW, wow!" was re-
peated, and he went into the house with the
muzz1e of the gun forward and his hand on
the trigger, but everything was quiet except
the "bow, WOW wow" over in the edge Of
the woods and there was no dog in the
house, He came out and fired one barrel
of his gun in the direction Of the hooking
bow, VOW" and went into the house and
retired. sIn.the morning hefoundtwo large
tracks, telling him that~a sharp freedman
had outwitted him and taken off three or
four bushels Of potatoes. He shook his
head and told our informant that the darkey
had won his potatoes fairly and he would
not bother him if he did find out who stole
them.

That Buggy and. the Care of 1t.

It is the fashion now for the farmer boy
to have buggy, and he must have it. It's
no longer respectable for the lad to ride to
church or to the village, or to see the girls
on horseback. The boys are getting. to be
as ignorant of the art of riding on horse
back as are the horses of a saddle gait. The
absurdity Of this buggy business is too I'M
mense to do justice to. 1t is deep-seated
in the home management.
Young America has got the start on the
farm, and the old man has to keep up with
the fashion and turn out buggy and har-
ness for the boy to dash around with the
best horse on the premises whether the
the pillow stops or not.
We know farmers who can not afford to
buy reaper, or planter, or an improved
cultivator, nor u thoroughbred calf or buck
or pig, but can buy buggy and harness for
the boy.
Now, it is one of the evidences of decay
when thing of luxury takes precedence, OF
things of necessity or improvement. This
universal buggy buyingis not only damaging
the farmer by Gripping him in the first out
lay, but it is demoralizing to the ooyo
They are less useful and steady on the
farm, just in proportion to the time spent
in cavorting about the country.
But we intended to speak of the care of
the buggy. We see many of the lads in SO
great haste that they have not time to keep
the buggy clean. They come home late at
night, and leave it out in the dew or rain
despatched with mud; They sleep late the
next morning, and have to hurry off to the
fields, and the buggy stands in the sun or
storm.
In few short weeks that new buggy is
furnished and damaged inside and out.
When We see Young America buggy pass
on the road we can read the habits of the
boys in the appearance Of the buggy: Some
of the boys are exceedingly careful OF the

CO1Ored Arist0cracy.

From the Raleigh IN. CO. Farmer.
Already there is a pronounced aristocracy
among the negroes. At their fashionable
weddings the array Of silks, white kids and
jewelry is gorgeous. There are blacks in
Raleigh worth from $1,000 to $4,000 in
good city property. There are negroes in
this county who owns 20O-acre farms, with
all necessary improvements. One recently
built afschool-house for his neighbors and
got country road changedto pass his house.
More than 100000 worth of property is
owned by negroes in Halifax, Warren and
other counties. Odds and ends of land are
picked up for almost nothing, sometimes as
gift, and are soon made to thrive. Per-
haps 10000 negroes in the state to-day own
from 10 to 800 acres.

A Japanese Legend.

Long long ago, when the Oldest; stork
was young, there lived an aged woodcutter
and his son on the slopes of the mountain
Tagi, in the province of Mivo. They gain
ed frugal livelihood by cutting brushwood
on the hillside and carrying it in bundles on
their backs Ito sell in the nearest market
town; for they were too poor to own an OK.
With the money thus received they bought
rice and radishes, their daily food.
Only once or twice year, at New Years
and on the Mikado's birthday could they
afford to treat themselves to mess of beau
curd or fresh fish. Yet the old man was
very fond Of rice. wine, and every week
bought gourd full to keep his old blood
warm. .s' >'.''' - ::
As the years rolled; on, the aged fathers
limbs became so stiff that he was unable
any longer to climb the mountains. So his
son, now grown to be d sturdy man, cut
nearly double the quantity of wood, and
thus kept the family larder full. The old
man was SO proud of his son that he daily
stood at sunset in front of his rustic gate to
welcome him back. And to see the old
daddy and the young STRIPPING remove their
handkerchiefs and. bow, with hands on
knees, in polite fashion, bending their
backs and sucking in their breath, out of
respect for each other, and to hear them
inquiring after one another's health, show
ering mutual compliments all the time, one
would have thought they had not seen each
other for eight years instead OF eight
hours. !,:13r at. $50!
One winter the snow fell long and thick,
until all the ground in field and forest was
covered several feet over. The bamboo
branches bent with their weight Of white,
the pine boughs broke under their load, and
even the stone idols along the wayside were
covered up. At first, even with the hardest
work, the young woodcutter could scarcely
get and sell wood to buy food enough to
keep them both alive. He often went hun

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

When Grandma and the rich lady met in

and while they wept on each others neck,
Mrs. Grant, the superintendent, and Miss
Bowman,s the. matrOn, withdrew and left
them to talk it over. Next day Louisa came
again, and Grandma, all wrapped in fur
lined robes, went away with her, leaving
the little room where she had SO long sat
rocking and knitting, expecting only to
leave it at the summons of death. The ex-
planation Isl that fifteen years ago Louisa,

remained in Ohio. while their mother, with
a snug little competence, came to Chicago.
Finally theyylost trace of each other. Mrs.

Full Supply of Bread.

The past year added much more than a
million to our population; we number now
over fifty million souls, and yet there was a
full supply of bread for ALL and enough for
thirty million dwellers in other lands. The
record Of 1873 was 50 extraordinary that
few expected such heavy expectation in
1880. But it was larger; much more corn,
more barley, very little less wheat, and
less rye and oats. The total was about 49,
600, 900 bushels, including flour and meal,
of which about 161 ,OO0, 900 was wheat. This
is for the calendar year 1880, and it is such
result as never was seen in any country Of
the world before. The corn and meal ex-
ceeds 107 200, 600 bushels, an increase of
rs per cent: upon the shipments of the pre-
vious year. .,~' - <'"'+'s
