HE HEARD THE BELL.

There was an accident occurred on
the West side a few nights since that
has broke young man all up. There
is young lady in a family who is SO
afraid of burglars that she has fairly
got 'em on the brain. She sleeps every
night with large dinner bell under
her pillow, and it is thoroughly under
stood in the household that if the. bell
rings in the night there is to be a
general rush to her room with weapons.
One night this week the men folks
were all out of town, and a young man
was asked to sleep in the house as a
protection from the burglars. During
the evening there was nothing talked of
but burglars, and when he went to bed
he could see the air full of them, and
the bell was ringing in his ears, in i'm
agination. Placing the revolver on the
bureau, near his bed, he retired, and for
three hours he laid awake, thinking
how, in case the bell rung, he would
rush in and slay enough burglars for a
mess.
Along towards morning he slept, and
suddenly he heard the bell ring as
though the woods were full of them.
He jumped out Of bed, and grabbing
his pants in one hand and the revolver
in the other, he started for the young
lady's room, where he found the bed
tumbled, but the girl gone. He
thought that she had been Kidnapped,
and dropping his pants, he rushed
down stairs with his revolver cooked, to
arouse the servants He rushed into
the dining room, and there stood the
young lady, in morning wrapper, sup
erintending the setting of the breakfast
table. He looked at the clock and it
was half-past seven. and the bell had
rung for breakfast.
To say that both were astonished
would be true, but the young lady had
the most nerve in the trying ordeal.
Said she, as she put birch-bark napkin
ring to the plate intended for the young
man, "Henry, there is no hurry. That
was the first bell. You will have time
to put on your pants.'' Then he looked
down at himself, and realized for the
first time his condition, and he retired,
with his hair on end. He. says that |
ends the burglar business with him.

in eight years from the seed and in five
years from the graft. They constantly
grow better and bear more oranges
every year. No man can tell how long
the tree will be useful-certainly more
than 100 years."
People in Florida are natural as en-
thusiastic over orange culture as mi
ners are who find rich placers, and they
tell almost as marvellous stories. You
hear them talk about trees upon which
grow from 1900 to 1900 oranges, but
there is great deal of fancy in this
statement, and the truth is marvellous
enough.
Mr.. Fairbanks, the historian of Flor
ida and an eminent authority upon the
orange, says that an average tree will :
bear, season in and out, 700 oranges,
and that, where they are grown from
the seed or transplanted regularly,
about 60 trees to the acre would be a
fair average. These go trees in a fair
season would yield $4,000 oranges,
worth at the grove $40. This is a
cold, reliable estimate of what an or
dinary orange grove will do many will
do more, and still more will do less,
but $40 worth of fruit upon an acre of
ground will strike the northern farmer
as being decidedly proftabIe.-Boston

Everybody now paid the closest at

"It was in this way. Cottonwood
boards warp like thunder in the sun. A
board would begin to hump its back up
about nine in the morning, and in half
an hour it would turn over. By eleven
it would warp the other way with the
heat, and make another flop. Each
time it turned it moved couple of feet,

AN UNLUCKY MAN.-Ottumwa in
Iowa, can boast of the most unfortu-
nate man upon the face of the earth.
So persistently has misfortune pursued
him that he is known by the people of
that city as "Calamity'' Lapham. He
was shot a dozen or more times during
the war was run over by caisson and
went to the bottom of the Mississippi
with a transport sunk at the siege of
Vicksburg. Since the war he has had
the cholera, smallpox, yellow fever,
been bitten by a snake, struck by
and had three ribs broken by
a falling wall during an earthquake in
one of the South American States. A
few days ago his left hand was cut off
i'll an Ottumwa mill. Strange as it may
appear he has, so far, escaped matri-
mOny, but that terrible affiiction may
yet pOunce upon him.-Arqo.

EXEUNT CONKLING.

The telegraph has given the news
that Conklings's coup de theatre has
ended. He is badly left. After a
stubborn fight by some three dozen
of his faithful admirers, the admins
tration men finally gained the victo-
ry by electing Mr.. Lapham in his
stead. The lordly Roscoe missed his
calculations and now lies dicom-
fitted giant.
Upon the receipt of the chad news
Conkling issued his farewell address,
which reads as follows.
NEW YORK, July %, 1881,
TO Hon. James Armstrong, Member of the As
sembly, Albany:
The heroic constancy Of the Spar
tan band, which has so long stood fo1
principle and truth, has my deepest
gratitude and admiration. Borne
down by forbidden and abhorent
forces and agencies, which never be-
fore had sway in the Republican par
ty, in memory their courage will long
live in the highest honor. The near
future will vindicate their wisdom
and crown them with approval.
Please ask them all for me to receive
my most grateful acknowledgements,
Roscoe CONKLING.

employed On the railroad, has been for
the past month or two working on the

On Saturday evening, as Fisher was at
the womans house, Wagner, and the
man whom Fisher had supplanted in the
woman's affections, came there with the
intention of running him away, Fisher
