AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.-Some person
having but little respect for tie truth has
circulated the report abroad that the
Baldwin House proprietors have advanced
their rates because of the advance in the
price of edibles. In consultation with
these gentlemen we learned that neither
had the rates been increased nor would
they be, nor would there be any decrease
in the bill of fare. Their idea is to bear
the inconvenience Of high prices, and al
low the patron to do the grinning, and
such being their determination their
travelling friends could find no better time
than the present in which to pay a visit
to this hOuse.-Hagerstown Globe.

Wheat, Dat and Barley Smut.

All persons who address us upon the
subject of smut ask for the remedy of
remedies, and this is q part of the sub
ject that is very difficult to treat. The
smut plant is 80 small in it's beginnings,
and also 80 rapid in its growth, that its
presence is not known on the grain I'M
til 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 a 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
vitriol), followed by an application OF
lime, has proved of value. Precaution-
AIRY measures Of this nature are all that
seem to be within the reach of the
farmer. If 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 it and gather and burn
all the affected ears and stalks. In this
way the many millions of spores are
kept from being spread and continuing
the pest. With the smaller grains, az
wheat and oats, this method, though il
is the most effective, would probably
be impracticable. Though the remedy
is not easy Of application, it is q steI
forward In the work, to know the cxac'
nature Of the trouble, and about THU
there is now no doubt. Smut is small
parasitic plant preying upon those Of 9
higher order. -An,erinn Aricukurist

Virtues and Devotion OF american
Wives,
New 7 Ork Sun,

1t may we'll be a 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.
al. Indeed, so much is the exercise of all
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 com.
mon laborer, living from hand to mouth
on his daily earnings, possesses the
priceless treasure of u wife just as de.
voted; while it is fortunate that the
conspicuous example Of a president'e
wife has brought these common bui
high qualities Of American women SC
prominently before the world.

Coffee is the fine issue of Eastern

Where 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 man leased
the spot and erected three-cornered
shanty containing a threecornered bar,
with the stone at its center, and began
TO dispense corn.juice without license
TO the sovereiens 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 defied him. The same
happened u 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
ljurisdlclion of both. Then the majesty
Of the law in three States were aroused
and three officers moved upon the
shAnty ct ono and the same time, and
the defiant rum-seller was now ia hot

There lives in Sandwich, Mass, on
the borders of one of the most charm
ing lakes in America, Mrs. F. H Bur-
CESS. 1t has been her custom once or
twice a day for quite period to feed
the fish in this lake, and a few days
ago we CHANGED to be favored with an
invitation to witness this novel feast
She first splashed the water with her
hand, when in q moment there may be
seen approaching from every direction
hundreds of large sinners; then eels,
varying in size from one to about three
feet in length, may appear on the sur
face, ten, twenty, and thirty feet away,
their necks stretched apparently to see
whether it ls friend or foe who is dis
turbing the waters. In less than three
minutes these various species had
collected directly before her, and as she
commenced to feed, the water
was fairly alive with them. hey take
bread directly from her hands, and
turtles would allow her to take them
entirely out of the water, and while
she held them in one hand they would
eat with the greatest voracity from the
other. But the eels amused us most
There was one she called Quinn,
measuring about three feet in length,
that repeatedly came to the surface,
and would glide back and forth through
her hands, and several times she lifted
him partially out of the water, but he
was careful to keep his head under
He seemed to feel that she would take
no undue liberties with him so long as
his head was in its natural element
but the moment he saw daylight he
would dart back as only an eel could
Another small one about afoot il

OF her caresses, and could be handled
about as she pleased, it being under

What tribes are stationed with

"The Quapaws, Peorias, Miamis, o.

Chow many of the Modocs remain ~
