Which Died First !?

About year ago the Travellers In
surance Company issued policy for
81, 900 to John Osborn, of Chicago, in
favor of Annie Osborn, his wife. Both
were lost on the steamer Alpena Ia
October. The father of John Osborn
took out papers of administration on
the estate of his son, and the father of
Mrs. Osborn did the same on the estate
Of his daughter. Both claimed the in
surance money, and one has already
brought suit for it, while the other is
ready to do so. The insurance company
petitions the superior court to decide to
whom the money shall be paid, and Of
fer to bring the sum into court. They
state that they do not know whether
Annie survived John, or vice versa. and
ask the court to restrain the two admin
istrators from bringing or continuing
suits.

A Persian Story.
From the New York Evening Mall

from the new 1OrA Evening Mall
"Silence," says the proverb, sis
golden" and the ancient Persians were
so convinced of this that they had Gel
ebrated college the first law of which ran
thus: "The students are to think
much, write little and to speak as little
as possible. 1t was called the Hall of
Science, and all the scientific men of Per-
STA strove to be among it's members. It
must have been like rocks parliament,
where no mouth opens without cause.
The silent Perbians, however, contrived
to be witty sometimes, l. the following
story be true, and nobody can say it is
not, which is one undeniable advantage
in choosing legends of ancient history.
A famous professor (of what, the depo-
nent saith not) heard that there was a
vacancy in the Hall of Silence, and, hay
ing acquired the gift of holding his
tongue, he at once applied for the APP
pOiutment, but unfortunately a giddy
youth had already slipped in before him.
The president, much aggrieved, es-
pecially as the young man was as a mat
ter of course, inclined to use the gift of
speech, was still more worried in consid-
ering how it would be possible to ac-
quaint the learned professor with the
fact that there was no room for him. At
last he hit upon plan worthy of poetic
Persian. The learned applicant had
lost no time after sending in his name,
in fastening to the city, certain of being
received with open arms if with silent
tongues, and upon his arrival the dead
silence with which he was greeted did
not cause him the smallest uneasiness;
he knew twas the golden rule. But,
the president coming forward, presented
him without uttering word with sill
yer goblet filed SO full with water that
single extra drop would cause it to over
flow. This was emblematic, but, as he
thought, conclusive; but what is the use
Of being learned man if you cannot
out-emblem an emblem? The professor
calmly took up rose leaf and placed it
SO lightly on the water that not drop
ran over. This action was at once ap-
plauded, and so sweet a symbol of him
self induced the authorities to set aside
all rule, and the college book was at
once rendered that he might enter his
name.

A PRINCE EDWARD county, Canada,
farmer writer that he has found carbOl-
ate of lime to be as good as Paris green
or London purple in destroying potato
beetles. A few pounds busted from a
dredging box is enough for an acre OF
potatoes. The more widely this is known
the better for there has been no such
terror added to farm life of late years as
the introduction of deadly arsenical
poisons into daily use. The number OF
cases in which human or other animal
life has been lost through the careless
use of Paris green is saddening, and the
worst of it is the casualties increase as
the public becomes familiarized with the
handling of the poison.
PERHAPS the most effectual remedy
against the striped bugs SO destructive
to melon vines is gas-tar, diluted with
boiling water and mixed with gypsum,
to be sprinkled freely over and around
the hills. It has this advantage over
kerosene, that it will not kill the tender
plants as kerosene will, unless the guam
tity be very small. This mixture, being
very cheap and safe, may be applied to q
very general use. We would strongly
advise trial of it against the cabbage
fly and worm, and about kennels, sta
bles, pig-pens, ETC.. against the vermin
that infest them. A free use of it about
kennels would have tendency to pre-
vent distenper and other diseases, as
we'll as to expel vermin.
BUCKwHEAT may be made profitable
upon piece of rough or newly cleared
ground. No other crop is SO effective in
mellowing rough, cloddy land. The
seed in northern localities should be
sown before July the 18th, otherwise
early frosts may catch the crop. Grass
and clover may sometimes be sOwn sue
cessfully with buckwheat. The first
requisite, the year through, is liberal
supply Of food. Summer management
can admit of no exception. Plenty of
grass must be within easy reach of the
the flock, and the opportunity must not
wanting for each animal to have access
to it at all proper feeding hours. If a
certain variety can be afforded, by oc
casional change from one pasture to an
other, in the absence of wide outside
range, good results viii be secured.
The Kansas Farmer thus cautions:
GAS the time is at hand when the hay
harvest will be in full blast, we wish to
caution farmers not to stack their hay
too far from their farms and stables, but
the locality should be as near to these
buildings as possible. Last winter we
knew Of instances, where the hay-stacks
were less than mile from the stables,
and yet in consequence of the deep snow
and snow drifts it was almost impossible
to secure hay enough for the stock dur
ing the severe storms, and some days
the stock were not provided for at all,
but had to fast. There are other con-
siderations why hay should be stacked
close to the stables. There is always a
waste in moving and handling it. Then
again it saves the expense of hauling it,
which is very considerable IN all in
stances hay should be stacked just as
near as possible to where it is going to
be fed out"

THERE are SORROWS In this Life VIII

THERE are sorrows in this life which
the lips cannot utter, which no human
soul can feel but the breast which does
the feelin'; moments when the soul
would wish to soar for away from human
ken or earthly gaze or criticism. Such
moment comes to him who, upon the
day preceding his marriage, with the e1-
pectation of a swell crowd in church,
feels that large pimple is gathering
upon the front piazza of bis nose. -Nea0

TO COOK EGG PLANT.

Choose the medium-sized fruit, cut if
in slices little more than quarter OF
an inch thick, and remove the skin.
Sprinkle salt on each piece, put in q
dish and cover with water, placing a
plate on top to keep it under. Leave it
in this water for an hour or two to draw
out the bitter taste, then wipe each
plant dry, dip it in beaten eggs, then in
fine cracker crumbs seasoned with lit
tie pepper, and fry in equal parts of hot
butter and lard until it is done to a light
brown. The lard should be heated in
the frying-pan, and the butter added
just before putting the egg plant in.
Do not cover while cooking, as the
steam would prevent that crispness
which is feature of nicely-cooked egg

ANACREONTlC.
BY JAMES ROSE CALVERT.

What is kiss A herald fair
That marshaleth the way to love
A fleeting breath Of balmy air
Which DER the lip doth rove;
An effervescent touch that thrills
The ardent lovers trembling frame
A dew, which on the heart distills
And kindles into flame.
What is a kiss? A lisping sound
OF language all unknown before;
The accent of one rapture found,
The whispered hope of more;
The bending of the boy-god's bow,
What time the string and arrow part;
The blissful signet to the vow
That yieldeth up the heart.

All kinds of berry stains may be re-

The Yorktown Celebrat,o,

YORKTOWN, Oct. 20.-The military re-
view was successfully carried out to-day
The organizations presented fine ap-
pearance and marched well. The route
was about four miles long over broad
fields. One hour and twenty minutes
were consumed in passing a given point.
When the procession reached the grand
stand, General Hancock and staff rode at
its head, but they then fell out of line,
and with President Arthur, his cabinet,
the foreign guests, and other dignitaries,
reviewed the troops from the stand. Gen.
Hancock stated to the president that
there were $500 men in line. The states
represented by volunteers were Georgia,
New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Maryland, South Caro-
lima, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Vermont, Kentucky, Michigan and Con-
necticut. The president was quite enthu-
slastlc over the magnificence Of the dis
play. The only colored troops in line
were two companies from Richmond
comprising part of the First Virginia
regiment. They were loudly cheered by
spectators from the North
In the afternoon Gen. Hancock gave a
reception on board the steamer ST. John.
Among the guests were President Ar
