"A Discussion Between Two Old InhaI,itant
OH the Weather.

a Discussion Between Two Old Inhabitants
ON the Weather.
From the Chicago Times
Some folks Seem to think this is warm
weather, +" observed old Daddy Wotherspoon
| to old Uncle Liakinbothan, as the two old
| inhabitants stood last Thursday before a
thermometer that registered ninety in the
shade. Pears to me twas worse than
this in the May of '28, wasn't it?'
heap worse, " assented old Uncle Lin
klnbotham, but that wasn't as bad as the
May OF 20. You remember how tho tin
roofs melted and run off the houses, and
we had to carry wrought steel umbrellas
through the streets?"
=" Deed do" rejoined old Daddy Woth-
erspoon, hopping his face with some aux
iety: II was out hunting that spring, and
We had to carry our powder in buckets of
water to keep it from going off premature
~. Wasn't that the spring the hams fried
snow -birds?''
The same spring, said old Uncle Lin.
kinbotham. II know I was off fishing in
Long Island Sound, and the heat generated
the water into steam 50 as to blow our boat
clear over into the woods. Tint month
was pretty warm, fer recollect how the
forest out back of east New York melted
down, and had stream of liquid kind
ling running right through my farm. One
| Of my boys took swig Of il it one day, by
mistake, and when he died in the fall we
found him choke full of splintels. Killed
him."
"Yes, yes, "murmered old Daddy Woth-
erspoon, streaming at every pore. "We
used to hang meat and vegetables down
my we'll, and they was cooked in ten min
utes by the watch" and the ancient gentle
man regarded his antagonist with some tri-
umph.
1--WE tried that" said cid Uncle Linkin-
bothum, "but tie head melted the wires
the grub was hung on and tie works of the
clock ran all over the floor, SO We couldn't
tell how long it did take to cook, and we
use ice-water to do our billing WITH"
"Where'd you get your ice?" demanded
old Daddy Wotherspoon, tying handker-
chief around his head to keep his ears
warm.
"We just poured water on the fire, and
the fire was so much cooler than the atmos-
phere that the water froze in a minute.
That's how we got our ice. Don't you want
to go and drink something to warm you
up?"
If We can get little good, old brandy.
I'd like it," replied old Daddy Wother
spoon, with pale lips and clenched fist, I'll
take some proof brandy"
Come along then," retorted old Uncle
Linkinbotham contemptuously. You may
be able to stir ! our blood with that tipple,
but this weather and the recollection of
May, %, makes me want some hot spice Il
rum and fur overcoat. Tomorrow I'm
going to put on extra fannels."
And the two old liars almost killed them
selves Ii: t afternoon with hot drinks rath
OF than admit that the Almighty could do
things as we'll now as he did when they
we're boys.

The New York Graphic reports that an
"old angler, who is vouched for as being
as reliable as any fisherman on rhe river
claims to have caught five glimpses Of a
mermaid in the Ohio, near Marietta. He
says it comes to the surface, looks about it
and then gradually sinks, leaving it's beau
tifully long and glossy black halr floating
for moment on the water. He represents
it as having the face of woman, and says
some sort Of murder trial. When asked
whether the mermaid carried comb or
looking glass, he resisted temptation and
answered, it might have but didn't see
any,"

Rust IN WHEAT We have made inquiry

Rust IN WHEAT We have made inquiry
of many of our farmers in relation to rust in
wheat, and have been very generally as
sured that it las not yet made its appear
anee at all this year, and we had hopea, and
still do, that the crop would be almost if not
entirely free from it. Yet some of the well
informed farmers are not yet satisfied but
that we may experience trouble from this
cause. We were last Saturday shown a
bunch of wheat that was well headed and
seemed to be full and plump, but there was
unmistaka1ble evidence of rust On the straw
and the top of the head was not filed for
nearly half way down, and We were in
formed that this was a fair average Of a
large field

To FARMERS. When parties tell you rope
will advance in price because SO much ma
nilla twine is used on self-binders, you can
safely depend on it that they take you for a
greenhorn and that they are interested in the
sale of binding machines that will not bind
with twine successfully. And if you are
told that wire will decline in price because
the latest and best improved binders use
twine altogether, you are safe in concluding
that parties telling such stuff expect to he
benefited by the sale of machines that arid
not bind successfully with twine. Do moi
be humbugged by any such nonsense, but
do your own thinking and buy self binder,
if you want such machine, on careful in
spection and on it's merits alone.

LOOK GUT FOR TRAMPs.-We clip the
following sensible article from the Daily
Telegram and we publish it fer the reason
that it will apply with equal force to Cor
wallis as Portland: That our city is infested
with a gang of the worst villains that ever
went unhune there is no doubt. The burg
laries, robberies and attempts at murder
that have been made within the past few
days have been SO frequent and Hagrant as
to call for the most vigilant watchfuiness
on the part of all our citizens, and particu-
larly the police authorities. Now Is the
time of all others for some of our skilled
detective work. It is not pleasant to think
that all the perpetrators of these recent out
RACES in our city are likely to escape arrest
anil merited punishment. Every suspicious
looking man found lurking about the city
ought to be arrested and made to give a
satisfactory account of himself. We have
heard of several strangers whose appearance
and conduct are anything but favorable.
They are certainly not very i'm ocent look
ing creatures and if not arrested at once
should be closely watched. If there evel
was time when the city guardians can
win public favor individually and collective
ly it is now.
