confessing that he had cheated me.
When examined the bank last year
found all the accounts right and
straight. / wanted TO verify the
account with the Mechanics Nation
al Bank, of New York; 30 I sent
letter to Mr.. Cox, the Cashier asking
him for, the figures, IIt now appears
from Mr.. Baldwin's confession that
he went to the New York bank and
saw Mr.. Cox. In the course Of The
conversation Mr.. Cox said that he
had received letter from me, in
relation to the accounts between the
two banks, and then Mr.. Baldwin
said that as he was going to return
to the bank Immediately he would
carry the letter, which Mr.. Cox held
in his hand. 1t seemed to be a simple
request, and Mr.. Cox gladly consen-
ted. Well, that one fact allowed
Baldwin to continue his enbezzle>
ments for another year. For when
Mr.. Cox's back was turned Mr..
Baldwin slipped his hand into one
Of the drawers of Mr.. Coy's desk
and distracted a letter.head and an
envelope belonging to the bank.
He then tore open Mr.. Cox's letter,
and forged another giving figures
which tailed with his accounts at the
bank. He also forged Mr.. Cox's
name to the letter. When he
returned he to the bank he handed
me the letter, saying that Mr.. Cox
had given it to him. Of course ]
thought it was a genuine letter, and
never for o moment supposed thai
Mr.. Baldwin was forger. In thai
way was deceived"

A correspondent, writieg from The Black
Hills country 10 the Chicago HsE'sra Rs
raj says 1--WE will begin with the straw
berry, by saying that they are found here
10 liberal abundance, the quality being .
little above the common wild strawberry
10 the Western States. Then the grape
comes 10 about the same proportions.
They are Of the same variety al those Of
the West, with a noticeable prolific yigor
A little in advance of those Of the States.
The wild plum Is very common 10 the foot
hills. and of several varieties, The Oregon
grape il very abundant 10 the mountains
and some places in the foothills Il Is 4
small plant or shrub not much larger than
the top. Il holds its leaves in winter the
same Us evergreens. Il is not priced 50
highly for its fruits as for lis medicinal
qualities. The roots, when stepped in
water, yield a tonic which, though very
bitter, is powerfully inyigoTating, The
June berry Is quite common though not
abundant IL grows on a shrub from one
to four inches high, is about the same size
as the gooseberry, is black when fully ripe
and very pala,abe We have two kinds
of currants. the black aud the Glove cur
rant. These believe are only found 10
the valleys among the foothills. The
gooseberry is very common, embracing
three varieties, the leading one being ex-
actly the same as was introduced through
out the Western States twenty years ago
for cultivation and which proved 4 sue
cess. The only disparagement that know
as to growing tame fruits here IS that the
apple is not represented in its wild state
(that is the crab apple
There are several other varieties Of
fruits in a small way that | shall not
mention now, but the erowuing fruits Of
this region IS the raspberry and buffalo
berry The raspberry Is very abundant
and Of the finest quality, superior to any
thing of its kind that | have ever seen
under cultivation. The vine is a moder-
ately fair grower, the berry red, Of fine
favor aud uncommonly large. Although
they are plenteous aad free for all, yet we
have known piekers earning from three to
four dollars per day gathering them for the
market. Then comes the buffaloberry

saying it is in size, shape, color and ap-
pearance when gathered) nearly exactly
the same as the common red eurrant. 1t
grows on bush or shrub, IS in size aud
appearance very much like the crab apple,
which begins to bear at three years old,
and remains in bearing for many years.
The berries are of fine flavor, very ascid-
uous and excel the red currant for table
use They are very prolific bearer. A
bush not larger than an ordinary wild crab
apple bush will yield from two to six
quarts of these berries.

The Prime of Life.

Between the ages of forty-fve and sixty
a man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime of life.
His matured strength of constitution rem
ders him almost impervious to on attack
of disease, and experience has given sound
ness to his judgment. His mind is reso-
lutte, firm and equal; all his functions are
in the highest order; he assumes mastery
over his business; builds up a competency
on the foundation he has laid in early
manhood, aud passes through period of
life attended by many qualifications.
Having gone a year or two over sixty, he
arrives at standstill. But athwart this
is the viaduet calledth turn of life, which,
if crossed in safety, leads to the valley of
''old age, round which the river winds, and
then beyond, without boat or causeway, to
effect his passage. The bridge is, however,
constructed of fragile material, and it de-
pends how it is trodden whether it bend
or break. Gout or apoplexy are also in
the vicinity to waylay the traveller and
thrust him from the past; but let him gird
up his loins and provide himself with a
filter staff, and he may trudgc on in safety
and with perfect composure. To quit
metaphor, the turn of life" is turn either
into prolonged walk or into the grave.
The system and powers having reached
the utmost expansion, now begin either to
close like flower at sunset or break down
at once One injudicious stimulant, sin
gle fatal excitement, may force it beyond
its strength, while careful supply of props
aud the withdrawal of all that tends TO
force plant will sustain it in beauty and
yigor until night has entirely set in.

DR.. Guillassc, of the French navy, re-
ports that in the early stages of typhoid
fever coffee is almost a specific against ty-
phoid fever. He gives it to adults, two
or three tablcspoonfuls of strong, black
coffee every two hours, alternating with
one or two teaspoonfuls of claret or Bur

annoyance TO which travellers subjected
him, his friends cut him short with, "Well,

man.

the purchaser is his best customer, the
shopkeeper will either ask him to come

cash for it, thus enabling the person to
perform his bohree (frst cash transaction.
After person has taken off his shoes,
should one fall over another, it is believed
to be an omen that the person is about to
travel. Should he really mediate a Jour
ney, he allows the shoes to remain in that
position; if not, he puts them straight, and
is supposed thus to prevent his journey.
A person meeting a severe loss or getting
into some trouble is often known to attrib-
ute his misfortune to having seen some
unlucky face in the morning, such as that
OF an GILMAN or man of notoriously bad
character, or one who has some bodily de-
formity. A person blind of one eve is
considered exceptionally unlucky, and is
generally avoided by all in the morning or
when journey is about to be undertaken.
Among other bad omens may be mention
ed snake or jackal crossing ene's path;
hearing person cry when you are going
anywhere; the cawing of crow and the
crying of kite; cat crossing one $ path
and the seeing an empty pitcher. 1t is
strange, as compared with the bad, there
are but few good omens. Among these
may be mentioned the following The
meeting of a dead body being carried away
and no one crying with it; seeing pitcher
with rope attached to it, or Brahman
carrying jug of holy water from the
Ganges; a lizard creeping up ones body;
hearing bride cry when she is leaving
her parents and going to live with her hus-
band; hearing the bell of temple strike
or trumpet sound when one is setting
out on journey; crow perched on dead
body floating down the river, and a fox
crossing ones path.-JournaI Of the In

The Gushing Woman,

The gushing woman is ubiquitous per
sonase; her presence is feature of almost
every community from Cape Colony to
Kamschatka; we may find her in trans
ports over the ruins of Thebes, going into
ecstacies at Pompeii, enraptured over an
old master or a young Apollo, over Gre
clan urn or a Partisan bonnet, over a
cracked tea-cup or the cut Of panler
\ baby sends her into paroxisms of enthu-
siasm. so does the last novel by an ac-
knowledge genius; she doteS upon poetry,
and prates about Bach and Beethoven as
if they had been her schcolmates. In the
meantime she is not altogether without
discretion: she knows on which side her
bread is buttered, and gushes to suit the
occasion, while she pushes herself into
favorable positions, into distinguished in
timacies, by her persistent etfusiveness.
To be sure, there is woman who gushes
by nature, 10 spite of herself and every
body else, whose spontaneity is as ire
prcssible as Traddles hair, who would iud
something to be eager aud interested about
in a dungeon cell, or subjects to excite
yiyacity in dR bottomleess pitt and there
is her sister W.T. is grandiloquent By art,
because enthusiasm has proved becoming
in another, preserves an air OF youth aud
innenuousness about one; she attitudes
mentally for the benefit of her audience,
because the posturcs take her fancy, are
striking and popular aud aPplauded. At
first acquaintance one Is, perhaps, made
captive by her yiyacity; but familiarity
breeds contempt; she becomes your bosom
friend in the space Of morning call, it
you are worth cultiva;ing, aud she writes
love letters to you, if you are Que who
others delight to honor, one in whose So
cietv it is distinction to be found. She
con6des her biography to whomsoeyer will
listen, and. seen through her speetacles, it Is
usually quite remarkable one. \ primrose
hy the rivers brim IS great deal more to
her than yellow primrose merely it IS an
opportunity 10 marshal her adjectiyes, aud
u order up her battalion OF smiles for ser
vice. The gushing woman is no doubt a
product Of civilization, which 10 giving
her certain amount Of cultivation has
not been able to supply an equal share Of
brains. she mistakes the exaggerated cx-
rressious Of a feeling for the emotion
itself. Sometimes. indeed, it IS not so
much Intentional zacctation with her, 4

eia,ien Tor al that i refined orabstrusc, as
it Is the strange necessity for excitement

way. Ia the meantime We would no, be

sojies Of the gushing woman As the Sub
