ALL ABOUT FENCES.
Something OF Interest 10 the Agricultural
Glasses.

One ofthe heaviest burdens which the
farmer has to bear is that of maintaining fences
to guard the growing crops against the live stock,
or In other words, TO protect himself against him
self The subject has occupied the attention OF
agricultural societies and journals and the public
press for many years, but not until the present
census was taken has there been reliable data on
which to base calculation rs to its bearing upon
the general agricultural interest and Its Indirect
in fuence upon commerce, for upon the cheapness
ofthe farm productions depends the amount Of
their exports. The schedules Of the census now
In process OF compilation embrace interroga,ories
respecting the cost Of maintaining and repairing
fences in the year 1879. The returns are all In,
but thus far but eleven States have been tabulated
The cost OF maintaining and repairing fences In
these Stntes show the folloving results.

The llippOpOtamus at Home.

Kingwere, the canoe paddler (says
Mr.. Stanley, espying us from his
brake covert on the opposite side, civ
lily responded to our halloos, and
brought his huge followed tree skill
fully over the whirling eddies of the
river to where we stood waiting for
him. While one party loaded tho
canoe with other goods, Others got
ready a long rope to fastcn around the
animals necks, whcrewith to haul
them through the river to the other
bank. After seeing the work properly
commenced, sat down on condemn
ed canoe to amuse myself with the
hippopotami by peppering their thick
skulls with my No. Il smoothbore.
The Winchester rifle (calibre Az did
no more than slightly tap them, caus-
ing about as much injury rs a boys
sling; it was perfect in its accuracy Of
fire, for ten times in succession | struck
the tops of their heads between the
ears. One old fellow, with the look
of sage, was tapped close to the right
ear with one of these bullets. Instead
of submerging himself, as others had
done, he coolly turned around as if to
ask: "Why this waste of valuable
cartridges on us" Tho response to
the mute inquiry of his sageship was
an ounce-and-a-guartcr bullet from
the smoothbore, which made him bel
low with pain, and in u few moments
he rose up again tumbling in his death
agones. AS his groans were 50 pitc-
Gus, RETAINED from useless sacrifice
Of life, and left the amphibious horde
in peace. A little knowledge concern
tng these uncouth inmates of the Atri-
can waters was gained even during
the iow minutes we were ut the ferry.
When unlisturbed by foreign SOUNDS,
they congregate in shallow water on
the sand bars, with the fore half of
their DodiescXposed to the warm sum
shine, and are In appearance, when
thus somnoently reposing, very like
herd of enormous swine. When
startled by the noise of an intruder,
they plunge hastily into tho depths,
flashing the waters into yellowish
foam, and scatter themselves below
the surface, when presently the heads
OF q few re-appear, snorting the water
from their nostrils, to take fresh
breath and q cautious scrutiny around
them; when thus, we see but their
ears, forehead, eyes, and nostrils, and
as they hastily submerge again IL re-
quires steady wrist and q quick hand
to shoot them. have heard several
comparisons made of their appearance
while floating in this manner; some
Arabs told mo before l had seen them
that they looked like dead trees car
ried down tho river; Others, who In
some country had seen hogs, thought
thoy resomblod them; but to my mind
they look more like horses when
swimming--their curved necks and
pointed ears, their wide eyes, and ex-
panded nostrils, favor greatly this
comparison.

On rich mans table, rim TO rim.
One was rudy and red a. blood.
And ono was clear ~ tho crystal food
Said the glass Of vino 10 the paler brother,
HLet us tell the tales Of the past 70 each other,
I can tell Of banquet and revel, and mirth.
And tho proudest and grandest souls on earth
Fell under my touch a. though struck by blight
Where was king, for ruled In might.
Prom the heads OF kings have torn the crown,
From the height Of fame have hurled men downy
have blasted many IN honored name.
have taken virtue and given shame;
Ihave tempted the youth with SIP a taste
That has made his future barren waste.
Far greater than king ami.
Or any army beneath thesky.
Ihave made tho arm Of the driver fail,
And sent the train from the iron rail-
I have made good ships 60 down at sea,
And the shrleks Of tholos were sweet to me;
For they said, Behold how great you be
Fame, strength, wealth. genius before you fall
And your power and might are over ALL
Ho no palo brother. laughed the wine.
"Can you boast OF deeds a. great as mine?"
Said the water glass, I can not boast
OF king dethroned or murdered host;
But can tell Of aheart once sad,
BY my crystal drops made light and glad.
ofthirsts I've quenohsd and brows I've laved;
OF hands have cooled and souls have saved,
Ihave leaped through the valley and dashed down
the mountain,
Flowed in the river and played In the fountain.
Slept In the sunshine and dropped from the sky,
And every where gladdened tho Landscape and eya
have eased the hot forehead OF fever and pain.
have made the parched meadow grow fertile With
grain;
I can tell Of the powerful wheel Of the mill,
/ TAT ground out the -four and turned at my will,
can tell Of manhood debased by you,
That have lifted and crowned anew.
Icheer. help, strengthen and aid;
Igladden the heart Of man and maid;

And all are better for knowing me-"
These are the tales they told each other,

AS they sat together-fled to the brim.
