With only team and q few dollars
the emigrant determines to make him
self home in the wilds Of the West.
His first care is to build q sod-house. as
he must have o shelter. That done,
about the middle Of May he commences
breaking prairie, and, il he has good
horse-team, succeeds in getting from
forty to sixty acres broken by the mid
die Of June. A few acres q the first
breaking are usually planted with corn,
dropped into cut made through the
sod with an Ak, which incision is closed
upon by the foot Of the planter. This
cannot be cultivated, and is wholly at
the mercy Of the season. Half the time
it is failure, but Of q favorable season
yields twenty or thirty bushels to the
acre. Melons, pumpkins and squashes
usually do we'll on sod, and turnips sown
in midsummer seldom fail. In the fall
he "back-sets his ground with his
breaking pillow, taking an inch or SO Of
ground from below the spring breaking.
The ground should not be plowed deeper
than It'll thoroughly rotted. The ground
is now ready for the crop, and his wheat
is sown the last Of February, or in
March. He has plenty of work to do,
and hard work at that. No chance to
make money escapes him. The first
year or two is almost invariably one Of
hardships and privations for the average
Lomesteader. The weak or shiftless
ones usually give way i'll despair and
turn eastward. The resolute ones stay,
and soon have comfortable homes. But
no young man should go West unless he
is prepared to work hard in the face Of
many difficulties.

Of hispolltical colleagues. "Ah, Smith, you are
from the Elizabeth district, and elected on the
Republican ticket" Smith replies, "Yes. 'Well,
you must be at the caucus tonight" Oh,
yea, Smith says, ~ never miss the caucus"
Smith ID sincere man; he goes to the hotel
and writes three resolutions, advocating the
control Of the railroads and telegraphs to be
given to the Government and the adjustment
Of tho national banks. He insists upon this

upon the resolutions coming to vote. The

and all the others no. The caucus lie binding.
smith is congratulated by his colleagues for his

The Fine Talker.

The fine talker in q city runs but .
brief career. He is as shOrt-lived as the
race-horse, or the man who swings by
one leg on the trapeze or hoists cannon
balls, or IN any other way wins applause
by forcible spurts of display. In year
or two the jokes begin to look thin and
the capital stories give signs Of having
been turned and patched much too often.
The talker then usually throws them
into lecture or two, and is apt to earn,
not State dinners, but daily bread and
beef with them while he delights proyin-
cial lycenms. Outside Of ne large
cities your fine talker is seldom wit.
The bucolic mind distr1sts the funny
man. The people of small towns elect
as the oracle the ready but weighty
speaker. the man of general research
into encyclopedias and magazines, who
can give you an opinion off-hand on
beet sugar, or Russian politics, or pre-
destination, or the chances as to the
Presidency in 1854, with fiuency and au-
thority. He keeps his wits on tap, SO to
speak, ready for all corners. To be sure,
even in the slow eddies and currents Of
thought in provincial life, the opinions Of
this leader Of intelligence and converse
ton sometimes appear stale and second
hand. and his audience wonder whether
they have elected their ruler wisely. But
they generally wonder in silence, and he
talks on his way triumphantly.
The female of this species is marked
by the same characteristics. She is
usually more ELUSIVE, however. She
takes her audience more into her conf
dence. A gushing sympathy and per-
sonai interest are her capital, instead of
the good stores and the quick humor Of
which most women are destitute. Hav-
ing claimed you as her friend, she pro-
ceeds to show you what an acquisition
you have made. She is ready to exhaust
and settle forever all questions upper
most in the community; whether it be
the Indian problem, embroidered tides,
or universal salvation.
The salient point TO be noted in the
men or women who are popularity known
as fine takers in this country, that their
material is, rs rule, stnle and second
hand. They have . verbal expertness
in handling thoughts; they give them
out as literally as the plowman throws
GOWN tie CilOplcu AOuucf W ui0 ucIu
But the thoughts are chopped fine and
dried; they bear the same relation to the
simple utterances Of genuine thinker
that the drycut stubble does to the green,
live, growing corn in the field. The
men and women noted as converscrs in
English society Of the last century were
those gifted with dramatic powers or
dashing wit They were the racontcurs
or wits whose stories and repartees have
come down to us. But now We Ameri-
cans want facts and opinions from the
men whose talk would satisfy MS, and we
are not particular as TO whether the facts
are the fruit Of real knowledge, or the
chance scrapings Of resieW-reading. We
have not yet grown up to the old French
idea Of great causcar-the man or
woman who says little and listens much,
who never makes display; but all Of
whose knowledge, magnetism, and tact
are used to bring ont his companion and
place him at his best.-Neto York 1ri.

Weather Prophets.

Speculations about the weather ere
not wholly useless If We are to accept
the testimony of Prof. J. Hyatt, who
has been engaged for long time il
studying the relations between the
phases Of the moon and the rainfall at
certain stations. 1t has long been known
that when the moon is full the sky is
most likely to be clear. This is not
only the testimony Of sailors and farm
ers, hut also Of eminent astronomers
and scientific men. It appears thar the
rays Of the full moon have the power to
dispel clouds, and it therefore seems not
unreasonable to suppose that the moon
exerts an appreciable influence upon the
weather. Prof Hyatt's observations
have led him to divide the lunar month,
OF about twenty-nine and half days,
into eight periods, or octants, of three
and thirds days each, and he has
found that every duration is apt to ac-
quire its character as regards rainfall
within the first Octant, or within three
and two-thirds days from the time Of
the new moon. 1t also appears that the
same kind of weather, as regards tenn
perature, cloudiness Or rain, is apt to

week, or, more accurately, at the same
stage in the lunar quarters. A number
Of instances are given, extending over
q considerable period Of time, which
seem to bear out the truth Of these con.
illusions with remarkable accuracy, and
it would seem that il seven-teniLs Of an
inch or more rain falls within three and
tao-thirds days of the new moon, the
entire lunation was very likely to he .
wet one but il very little rain falls dur
ing that time the remaining seven
cighths Of the lunation will probably be
dry. These observations verify tie old
saying that the first three days rule the
month. As result of obseryatioss con-
Quoted at two localities, extending over
q period Of three years, the rule has
been found to hold good in al least clcy-
en- cases out Of twelve, and they would
doubtless hold good for oil places in the
hilly county between the Appalachians
and the Atlantic, not too near either the
sea or the mountains. Such conclusions
are only reliable for places similarly sit
uated, since peculiarities Of location,
elevation, the peculiar direction Of the
wind, ETC., necessarily affect the result,
and these characteristics must be stud
led for each place. The distribution Of
rainfall is very irregular throughout the
year two or three dry or two or three
wet lunations are apt to be grouped to.

The Erlanger Syndicate-What
Woman Has Done,

A contemporary speaking of the
system of Southern Railroad enter
prises in which the Erlanger syndi-
cate have invested their capital,
with prospects of such magnificent
results to the South, says:
The history of the formation of
the Erlanger syndicate is not with
out tinge of romance. During the
war Mr.. Slidell, of Louisiana, was a
Confederate Ambassador to France,
and was accompanied to that coun-
try by his beautiful and attractive
daughter, a young lady of rare
graces and attainments. who reigned
a belle in the gay Partisan salons, !"
and was sought in marriage by
numbers of titled and aristocratic
gentlemen. Her heart was won
however, by Mr.. Erlanger, and they
were married. After the war she
succeeded in enlisting his sympa-
thies for the upholding of the
stricken and PROSTATE South, and
he organized a company for the
purpose of investing capital in de-
Iveloping the resource of the South
ern States. This syIs mte has IN
