Presentation to Hon. D. Richards.

A pleasing episode was enacted yesterday
al the rolling mill of the knoxville Iron
Company. 1t was the presentation, by the
employees, of fine gold watch to their re-
spected foreman. Hon. David Richards
The presentation was made by L. W. Lilies
ton, accompanied with appropriate remarks.
Mr.. Richards accepted the pres
ent in a characteristic speech, thsnkin
them very cordially for the token of regard
and esteem, which he said speaks for itself
more than he could say. He spoke for
nearly an hour, giving the men excellent
advice, among other things, to abstain from
using liquor as beverage.
Maj. w. R. futile, the manager OF the
works, took the stand next, and made an
appropriate and encouraging talk to the
men. He advised them to save
their earnings and buy them homes.
& few remarks were made by the chair
man, Mr.. McVonel, one of the puddlers,
after which vote OF thanks was rendered
Mr. Richards and Major Tuttle for the sz
Gallant advice given. -.

How to Drive a Hen.

When a woman has hen to drive
into the coop, she takes hold of her
skirts with both hands, shakes them
quietly to the delinquent, and says :
'Shoo, there!" The hen takes one look
at the object to convince herself that it
is woman, and then stalks majestically
into the coop. A man doesn't do that
way. He goes outdoors and says: It
is singular nobody can drive hen but
me- and picking up stick Of wood,
hurls it at the offending biped. and OBJ
serves: 'tGet in there, you thief" The
hen Immediately loses her reason, and
dashes to the other end of the yard.
The man straightway dashes after her.
She comes back with her head down, and
followed by an assortment of stove wood,
fruit cans, and clinkers, and very mad
man in the rear. Then she skins under
the barn, and over the fence or two, and
around the house, and back again to
coop, and all the while talking as only
an excited hen can talk, and all the while
followed by things convenient for hand
ling, and man whose coat is on the
saw-buck, and whose hat is on the
ground, and whose perspiration has no
limit. By this time the other hens have
come out to take a hand in the debate
and to help dodge missiles, and the man
says every hen on the place shall be sold
in the morning, and puts on his things
and goes down on the street, and the
woman has every one OF those hens
housed and counted IN two minutes.

Mr.. F. FL. Furniss, of this town.
while at his cabin in the woods last
week cut down one of the large pine
trees near his cabin. The tree inclined
towards the house, and, although one
hundred feet from it, was dangerous,
as storm might send it crashing
through the cabin.
1t was felled by saving and driving
wedges, in order to throw it in an op-
poslte direction. The tree, a white pine,
was sound as a dollar, over four feet
through and one hundred and seventy
five feet in height, the rings on It's
stump indicating its age at three hun
dred and fifteen years and the ex-
per1enced men who felled it say it will
cut four thousand feet of lumber.
1t was monarch of the forest, and
was fifty years of age when Shakespe are
died. Its fall was simply grand and
terrible, the day being clear and bright,
not breath OF air stirring. The word
was given, "Al ready, look out for
yourself !"
A dull, unearthly roar filed the air, a
whirlwind Of overwhelming noises, as it
crashes and cuts swath through trees
OF more than a foot in diameter, broken
off like pipe-stems. The very earth
groans and trembles at the stupendous
tumult, while the shrill screams of the
air through its branches sounded like the
shrieking of spirits.
The monarch Of the woods lay prone
upon its mother earth after a rule of
over three hundred years. jg..

along again, and Miss Richardson gave
orders to have only the lower berth made.
For we will sleep together tonight,
Marthy," said she, quietly. r
80 all the night long she lay awake,
with her arms around little Marthy.
All the night long, thinking and think
ing she lay, with the sweet breath of the
trusting child-woman falling on her left
hand-the hand was shorn now Of it's
sparkling ring.
9 L loved him too" she cried to her
self, suddenly, and then her arm tight
ened upon the child heart beating under
1t, and the throb ran through her like an
appeal for mercy. The cars tramped
into and through the night, and by and
by the morning came, as fair and fresh
as though Kate Richardson had not made
a sacrifice the night before.
When the train rolled into the depot
at Sacramento, Miss Richardson espied
Dick Powers waiting, and by his side was
Al Fisher. He was haggard and in dis
tress, he was thin, and he had grown five
years older than when she left him two
months before. He saw her, too, and ran
along by her window, grasping the hand
she held out to him.
"Oh, Kate, Kate!" he pleaded, i'm
ploringly.
She went to the door to meet him, and
drew him along the aisle; "Dick, here
is Marthy," said she.
He looked at the wild rose, blooming
so sweetly for him. and as he saw the
soft hazel eyes Drumming up with drops,
and falling corners of the shy mouth
quivering, the old sweet beauty grew
upon him again, and a hungry smile
dawned in his eyes.
ooh, Marthy'' he murmured.
" At last, dear Richard, at last!' she
cried, as he gathered her in his arms.
Al Fisher took Miss Richardson home,
and she was gravely polite and smiling
all the way. But it was two years be-
fore she allowed him to draw the last
drop OF bitterness ont of her heart; and,
even then, she gave the last kiss before
marriage to a baby Marthy.

ROCKS.
by GEO. EDGAR MONTGOMERY.

Upon these ancient rocks look
With reverent wonder, for they are
AS the clear writing in book
Which tells of many worlds afar:
Within this rugged bulk find
The secret story of the earth,
The growth of years before the mind
Of man was shapen for its birth:
L learn from their mute eloquance
The glory of creative days,
Of change and giant struggle whence
Have sprung our ordered laws and ways;
And by their teaching can mark
How life had risen from low to high,
As in the night huttering spark
May spread and blaze upon the sky;
How through the tempest sweep OF time
The progress of the earth has been
Eternal, like the power sublime
Which guides its destiny unseen;
How truth has grown from wrong, and light
From darkness, while the race of man
Has grasped with valoroUs will the right
To be and do what manhood can:
The infinite ages that have passed
Since the tire-hearted globe was born,
Now stretched before us dim and vast,
And robed in their primeval morn,
Seem lurid dreams of death and life,
OF pain, and rapture, and decay
Yet real forerunners of strife
Which thrills the human heart to-day.

Lazy Mexican Life.
CMazatlan Correspondence

The poor classes here are everywhere
IN the great majority, are contented
with their one-stOrv adobe houses, with
which the town abounds. There are no
stairs, and that saves them trouble.
There are few beds and little furniture,
but the floors are cool. We did not see
three-story building, but there are
several OF two, which serve the purpose
OF warehouses below and dwelling
places above. This is the invariable
menage of the merchants. In no case
do they occupy country houses or apart
lhents Separate from their place of bust
ness. With the exception of stroll up
on the beach at evening all their exercise
consists in the transit between their
business, meals and sleep, by means Of
easy stairs and balusters. They rise at
seven o'clock for the first breakfast,
which consists of coffee or chocolate and
bread. They 60 down to business,
which they transact from nine to II,
when they, as the French say, give
themselves the pain Of mounting the
stairs preparatory to breakfast No. 2.
This IS a substantial meal and may be
better termed the dinner, for it has all
its courses. After that comes the uni
versal siesta, when, for at least two
hours, the town is in a state OF absolute
repose. Doors and windows are closed
to exclude the intense heat, and men,
women and children all turn into sleep.
There is no more heat than there was in
Pompeii while for centuries it was
buried beneath the ashes of Vesuvius.
Shortly before three o'clock the still
yawning merchant gives himself the
pain of crawling down stairs to his bust
ness, which terminates for the day at
five o'clock, the custom house doors be-
ing made to correspond with this ar
rangement of time. Then from six to
seven comes dinner and after that the
evening walk.
The daily life of the merchants wife is
equally eventful. She does not always
rise for the first breakfast, but takes it
quietly in bed, and when her husband
passes the two or three hours of the fore
noon in his Office she dawdles about the
upper floor, calls for the children and
scolds Antonio or Juanita for allowing
them to make such noise that her poor
head is distracted, sends them off in a
passion to school or more generally to
the care OF a gOVerneSS, throws nersef
on sofa with French novel for COM
panion, and is ready, slip-shod in her
loose morning dress, to accompany her
husband to the second breakfast. She
sleeps soundly during the siesta, and in
the afternoon business hours dresses
deliberately for dinner with the aid of her
maid, who has been out in the forenoon
to pick up the news of the day. She
never drives out, but of course in the
evening she is to be found at the Olas
Atlas. AS for the young men those who
are not packed off to Europe or Califor-
MIA tor their education, they follow in
the footsteps of their fathers. The
daughters likewise initiate their mothers,
excepting that they devote the the hours
of the day not passed in sleep to sitting
at the window and watching those who
pass by through the blinds.

The Rliubarb or Pie.Plant,

An inquirer in an adjoining county
wants to know how to grow this plant
This is easy information to furnish. In
fact, rhubarb is so readily grown and
kept growing in the same bed for SC
many years that no one who has even o
mite of a garden should be without O
little bed of it. 1t is really the "pie,
plant" as it is the first thing to grow II
the garden that pie can be made of
and hence comes very acceptably. AS
sauce, too, or side-dish, it is excellent
1t is easiest grown from the roots, which
all seed-stores have for sale, and il
comes q year earlier. Seed, however,
can be sown in the early spring, and
when once taken firm root thin out to
about three feet square, In after years,
when the stalks not cut of for use show
signs of going to seed, cut off the tops.
We have small bed that has supplied
us year after year without being dis.
turbed, except to cultivate among it fol
some fifteen to twenty years. German.

Rcmedics for the Glover MIdre.

Professor Comstock, Entomologist Of
the Department of Agriculture, In his
late report devotes few pages to the
clover midge. After describing and
giving its history he remarks: tn u
No remedies have been proposed ex-
cept that Professor Riley says: |" If the
injuries of this insect should become se-
rious the clover-seed raiser will be
obliged to abandon for a series of years
the growth of this crop, rs in no other
way are we likely to be able to affect
the multiplication of the enemy" We
hardly think, however, that the case
will prove as desperate as this. In New
York State it is the custom to cut clover
twice in the season; once from June 20
to July 10, when the clover is in full
bloom, for hay alone, and again in the
latter part of September, or from that
time till the LIST of November, depend
ing upon the time of cutting the first
crop, for seed. Now as we have shown
under the head Of number of broods,
the great majority of the first brood of
maggots attain their full growth about
the latter part of June, and leave the
heads to burrow into the ground to
transform. From this fact we readily
draw the conclusion that were the first
crop OF clover cut In early June the
bulk of the first brood would be de-
stroyed, and at the expense OF slight
reduction in his crop Of hay the farmer
would enormously increase the pros
poets of his crop of seed. The more
universally this is practiced, the better
of course will be the results to each,
and care should be taken to cut at the
same time any clover that may be grow
ing wild in fence corners, by roadsides
or elsewhere. The time for cutting in
order to destroy tho most larvae will, of
course, vary with the locality and also
with the character of the season, wheth-
er cold or warm; hence the importance
of the farmer making himself perfectly
familiar with the midge in all its forms,
with its manner of work and of keep
ing q sharp lookout during late spring
for the first Larvae. If this remedy is
thoroughly tried we feel sure it will be
the means of reducing the number of
the midges.
