Virtues and Devotion OF American
Wives.
New York sun.


1t may well be source of National
pride that all which is justly said OF
the self-sacrifce and of the thoughtful
and tender devotion of Mrs. Garfield to
her husband during his long and dis
tressing illness might be said with
equal justice of almost every American
wife under similar circumstances. In
deed, nothing less Is expected of Amer
lean women; and, though they attract
little or no attention, SUCH instances of
wifely care and watchful affection are
OF constant occurrence, in the palatial
houses OF the rich, and in the humber
dwellings OF the poor and lowly; so that
when Mrs. Garfield is praised, the high
eulogies pronounced upon her belong
not to her alone, but are tributes to the
character, the disinterestedness, and
the fidelity of American wives In gener-
a. Indeed, so much Is the exercise ofalI
these womanly virtues looked upon asa
matter of course, that the public would
be greatly shocked at the manifestation
Of any lack of them IN case where
the sufferings Of a husband had been so
terrible and prolonged. Many a com
mon laborer, living from hand to mouth
On his daily earnings, possesses the
priceless treasure Of y wife Just as de-
voted; while Il Is fortunate that the
conspicuous example OF presidents
wife has brought these common but
high qualities of American women so
prominently before the world.

The fungus growth, or rather disease
found on many fishes, but notably the
salmon species, is said to be mostly
caused by wounds or abrasures of the
skin, which arise from accidental inju-
ries or from the attacks of their natural
enemies. In this connection we would
ask whether any of our readers have
ever seen fungus growth on sunfsh.
We never did, although we have met
with hundreds of sunfish that were mu-
tilated by bass, who seem to delight in
taking a choice morsel out of the hack
of the Sunny" and then leaving him
to get out Of the scrape the best way he
can. Our black bass is remorseless
villain, and bites others con amore, for
we have known him to corner a sunfish
among the rocks and snap heshy tit
bit out of it so demurely that it seemed
as if he was only INDUCING in passing
within -4mericaa 1RGter.

Wheat, Dat and Barley Smut.

All persons who address us upon the
subject of smut ask for the remedy or
remedies, and this is part Of the sub
ject that Is very difficult to treat. The
smut plant is so small in its beginnings,
and also so rapid in its growth, that its
presence is not known on the grain un-
I'll its destructive work is done If the
smut enters the plant from spores
which cling to, and are sown with, the
grain, it is to be expected thorough
cleaning Of the grain would be proper
precaution. The application Of any
substance that would kill the spores
and not injure the grain, naturally sug-
gests itself. The soaking of the grain in
solution of sulphate of copper blue
vitrio0, followed by an application of
lime, has proved of value. Precaution-
airy measures os this nature are all that
seem to be within the reach of the
farmer. IL the spores can be kept from
finding their way to the growing grain
the smut will not appear. With corn,
the best way to rid the field of smut is
to pass through il and gather and burn
all the afected ears and stalks. In this
way the many millions of spores are
kept from being spread and continuing
the pest. With the smaller grains, as
wheat and oats, this method, though it
is the most effective, would probably
be impracticable. Though the remedy
is not easy of application, i is step
forward in the work, to know The exact
nature Of the trouble, and about this
there is now no doubt Smut is a small
parasitic plant preying upon those of a
higher order.-ARaioan AricahtFia.

How She G0t That Ring

| A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer writes that the handsomest
diamond ring said to be worn by any
one on the stage, sparkles on the little
white hand of a rather magnificent but
very pretty performer, known as
Stella, of the Soldene troupe. When
that highly refined and aesthetic combi-
nation played in Denver. some one in
troduced this particular star to Gov
eruor Tabor, who is generous patron
OF music. During brief conversation
with her, the magnate was summoned
on business by messenger. As he
withdrew he, it Is presumed uncon-
sciously, remarked that he would finish
his call some other time
''Oh, no you won't" SAID the ianntv
performer; you will get so absorbed in
these big mines and political things
that you'll forget all about poor little
me-"
This direct slur on subernatorial gal
lantry was equal to a challenge. At
any rate the governor pledged himself
to return.
"Ah, | don't believe any Of you wick
ed western men without some other
guarantee than your word" said the
clever Miss Stella; adding, 'sLeave me
something valuable enough to insure
your return"
Now the governor of Colorado has
many bags of gold, but he does not car
~ them in his pockets, and the only
ornament of cost he wore was mag
nificent diamond. the one huge soil
tsire, valued at $4,000, shining out
ike and electric light.
The impulsive millionaire threw his
jewel into her lap and made his exit.
Then the smart Stella, without loss of
time, packed ner little portmanteau,
and skipped on a train bound for Chi
cage. When the governor called ore
deem his pledge the news of her de-
parture was broken 10 him by a colored
waiter

ment to New Foundland, where they
are used extensively by the Rshermen
OF the coast. On going out at night
each company of fishermen takes
aboard Its ''snack" several homing
pigeons. When they reach the fishing
grounds in the morning bird bears to
the little port from which it comes the
news of the night and the prospects for
the day. Later on, when the vessel is
ready to return, a bird is sent with an
account OF the catch. and those at the
hshlng hamlet know just what prepare
tons to make for taking care Of the
hsh which will be brought in. A pig
con telegraph service has been estab-
hshed on the Saugeen peninsula, in the
western part of Ontario, Canada. The
only telegraph office in the vicinity is
at Wharton, but all over the surround
ing country are pigeon stations from
which birds can be dispatched to the
telegraph with messages which are then
forwarded by wire. A physician in
Hamilton county, having q practice ex-
tending over large territory. employs
homlng pigeons extensively He takes
basket IN his carriage when he starts
out IN the morning, in which are sew
eral birds, and liberates them when it
Is necessary to communicate with his
othee. He also leaves pigeons among
ms more distant patients, so that upon
occasion arising he can be at once sum-
moned.

W here Three States Meet
New York Graphic.

There is stone near Pownal. Vt.
where three counties and three States
meet viz, Massachusetts, Vermont and
New York. A while ago Il man leased
the spot and erected three-cornered
shanty containing a three-cornered bar
with the stone nj its center. and began
to dispense corn,juice without license
70 the sovereigns of the three States.
When the Bay State Constable came in
due time with his handouts and war
rant, the culprit stepped into the Yer
mont corner and, pointing TO the inter-
vening stone detied him. The same
happened to the Vermont officer. Then
those Constables connived to meet and
seize him together While they were
pulling out their warrants and hand
cuffs the New Yorker broke away from
them and got over into the State Of
New York, where he was beyond the
jurisdiction of both. Then the majesty
Of the law in three States were aroused
and three officers moved upon the
shanty at one and the same time. and
the defiant rum-seller was now in hot
water. He carried out the coke" to
the end, however, for getting on top of
the stone which stands partly in three
States, he shouted: Come on and d.
vide me into three parts, but I'll make
II hot for the one that takes the two
thirds Of me that don't belong TO himln
lie had, however, taken too large a
quantity of his own medicine to enable
him to preserve his equilibrium on top
Of the stone, and while still defying the
Constables he fell of and rolled over
into the State of Massachusetts,, where
he was secured by the officer from that
State, and taken to Williamstown in
triumph.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Eight Days from kentucky to Chi
cage.
Chicago Times


Chicago Times
During the progress Of the trial
which resulted in the acouittal last
night of John Lamb on the charge of
burglary, various illusions were made
to the anticipated appearance of Charles
Dennis. who was to be placed on the
wltness-stand. Dennis is supposed to
be one of the gang which committed
the Jaffray robbery and killed Officer
Race. An indictment for murder has
been suspended over until the time OF
his release from the Kentucky peniten-
tiary, where he was serving a two years
sentence for burglary committed in
Louisville. The time expired one week
ago yesterday morning, and detectives
Londegad and Ryan arrested him at
the outer door and started ostensibly
for Chicago. They arrived here last
night, and Dennis is now an inmate of
cell No. n in the county jail. At that
place a reporter of the Times asked
him where he had been all these DAYS.
a question which he at first refused to
answer.
Were you brought directly from
Kentucky to Chicago?'
"No."
"You have not been kept hidden in
some of tn e stations for nearly a week,
them"
NO; but | have No particular obiec-
tons to telling where | have been, as
the officers treated me kindly. We
first came to Louisville on "Wednesday.
and they said we were coming right
through. For some reason they
changed their minds and went to Gin
cinnati, where they kept me till this
morning, when We came over and | was
brought right here"
would they give you no reason
why the kept you in Cincinnati for five
days."
They didn't tell me thing, but
had my suspicious"
'You know there is an indictment
against you here?"
"I've been told so.''
did yon know you were expected to
testify in Lambs behalf, and that it
has been rumored the prosecution kept
you away for that reason, and that
Lambs attorneys couldn't find where
you were?'
Those were my suspicious exactly,
as could imagine nothing else,
though | didn't see the papers, and. as
| said before, was told nothing.
thought it very strange, though, that
they managed to get me here as soon
as the trial was over"
"Then you would have testified in
Lambs favol?'
Il don't care to answer that question
now, and l viii only say that the Off
GERS were long enough bringing me
from Kentucky to have brought me
from Europe"
Dennis shows but little evidence of
MS Imprison ment, and does not ap-
pear to think the situation here at all
serious.

Degrees of Murder.

A dramatic incident in Troy court
room illustrates topic worth under
standing by those interested in the
criminal reports. King and Hamilton,
two convicts in Dsnnemora prison.
quarreled, soon after the shooting of
President Garfield, over the fitness of
Vice President Arthur to succeed to the
Presidency. King became so much
excited that, when at length Hamilton
made some strong remark adverse to
the Vice President King struck him
upon the head with an axe, and then
struck second blow. Hamilton was
killed on the spot. King was brought
to trial for the murder. About an hour
and a half only sufficed for the testi-
mony and arguments, and the jury
then retired to deliberate. They were
absent a considerable time, and at
length returned and asked the Judge to
give explanations of the difference be
tween first and second degrees of muir
der. This evinced, of'course, that there

QUEER SCENES At THE POLLS.
Women Voting in school Election
at Flushing.
From the New York Tines. Oct. y.

From the New ork Times. Oct y.
An interesting contest took place at
Flushing, Dong Island, yesterday, over
the election to fill the office of member
| of the board of education. One of the
contestants for the office was lady.
Mrs. Harriet S Judd, the wife of Or
ange w. Judd, Esq, the opposition
nominee being SIR. Benz w. Downing.
district attorney of Queens county. and
for several years president of the beard
of school trustees of Flushing. Party
spirit has run high in the village since
! the candidates were announced. each
having many and warm adherents. AS
| members Of both sexes were allowed to
vote, it was believed that in the strug-
| gle yesterday the ladies' ballots would
secure Mrs. Judd's election. The ladies
made lively canvass, and succeeded
IN polling an Unexpectedly large vote.
This Is the first time that women have
voted in Flushing. Yesterday at noon
the polls were opened. A large crowd.
including several females of the Irish
persuasion, had gathered about the
town hall, where the voting was to take
place. All persons were allowed to vote
who were over q years of age, owning
real property or paying hire therefor.
and being citizen of the United States
residing within the school district of
Flushing The gentler sex distinguished
itself by getting in the first vote, and
for two hours after the polls were
opened the hallway was filed with a
struggling mass of men and women.
and the shrill tones of feminine voices
arose above all other sounds. L. was
quite apparent from t1e appearance of
the streets of Flushing that something
extraordinary was taxing place. In
stead of the usual crowds disposed
about the street corners were little |
groups OF women discussing the busi-
ness Of the hour In the immediate |
neIghborhood Of the town hall women |
who had come to vote, bu6 had not vet /
exercised that privilege, gathered in
groups and cast hesitating and coauet-
tlsh chances toward the polling place.
During the early hours of the voting
most of the female voters were of the
Milesian order and adherents Of Mr..
Downing. They came to the spot in
carriages furnished By the candidate by
thiees. and fours, and families. At the
desk OF the inspectors some funny dia-
logues were heard, especially when the
ballot sought TO be deposited IVES chal-
