A SACK OF FLOUR.


NrO4 INC Seu EksLNAs~S 49,"
The recent death of George ". Gridley,
about whom there is some dispute as 70
whether he IL or 10 not the real "Flour
Sack" Gridley, who put up q sack OF
-four TO be sold for the benefit OF the
soldier boys, and which brought $780,
900, recalls a curious incident in con-
nection Herewith, no less than the
departure OF Mark Twain from Nevada,
and his consequent emergence from
what might or might not have remained
perpetual obscurity.
The facts are these: The night when
the enthusiasm OF the people OF Virginia
was at its height-when nearly every
body in town was almost insane from
the excitement OF patriotic fervor-the
newspaper men also caught the fever:
The proprietoIs OF the Enterprise and
Union had each contributed literally
when word came to the Enterprise that
the compositors OF the rival concern had
bid q handsome amount $50 or 80
for the flour. They immediately sent
messenger TO ''go one better" with slOO
bid. An enthusiastic friend OF the Lh'on,
a grocer named Bolan, yelled out, $50
more for the GaiOn men" and added,
IF they don't pay il | will" The
printers, on hearing of this, rather
naturally resented Mr.. b. 8 uncailed Cor
generosity on their part, and neglected
TO pay the extra sum. Bolan, on cool
ing of, also let the thing rest.
After q few days had elapsed, Marx
Twain, who was "local" on the Enterprise,
published an item rather severe on the
Union and its employees for their refusal
to pay what they received credit for.
This was replied to by card from one
of the printers, personally attacking
Mark. Mark replied with challenge to
the senior proprietor OF the UaIon,
(Laird) who, by the way, was not credit
ed.with much OF a reputation for courage.
The challenge was answered by an &C.
ceptance on the part of the printer who
wrote the card Wilmington. Mark
refused to recognize Wilmington in the
matter, insisting on holding the editor
of the paper responsible. To further
complicate matters, little Steve ellis,
Marks second, and probably the only
one who would really have liked fight,
sent a challenge to Wilmington for his
"uncalled-for interference" Whining
ton declared he had no cause OF quarrel
with Gillis-who, by the way, had some
reputation as a marksman-and de-
clined to meet him. Voluminous cor
respondence followed. which was after
ward all published, but no duel ensued.
The affair caused considerable talk, and
as the grand jury was to meet in a few
days, Mark thought 1t prudent to drop
down to Frisco for while. Here, how.
ever, be found other employment, and
severed his connection with Nevada
permanently. His subsequent success
as lecturer, correspondent and book
writer is matter OF notoriety. Thus,
it will be seen, that Gridley's sack OF
-four was one OF the important factors in
changing the whole course OF the great
humorist's career.

WASHINGTON, April 20. 1t is now re-
gaIded rs settled by the friends OF Min
lister Osborn, OF Chilli, that he will be
retained. General Fitzpatrick has been
an actual candidate for the position,
and some OF the most prominent ladies
of Washington have urged his appoint
ment because OF Mrs. Kilpartrick's earn
est desire to go to Chill. The friends OF
Mr.. Osborn have convinced the Presi-
dent that the Chilians prefer his reten-
ton to the appointment OF any new
man. During the war between Chill
and Peru Mr.. Osborn's performance OF
the delicate duties entrusted him by
the State Department was such as to
command the respect and admiration OF
the Gillian authorities, and his record

Cultivation of Wheat.

II ismy firm belief that the real reason
why our wheat crops only yield hall as
much as the English crop is, that in
England they utilize sheep as grain
growers, while we only consider them
as wool and mutton makers. / have
even heard Of an ESSAY on "Sheep as the
Scavengers OF the Farm, meaning, pro-
badly, "pickers up OF unconsidered
trifies" in the form OF weeds. Now,
though object entirely to sheep being
degraded into "scavengers," with adj
mirable inconsistency, admire them
greatly in their office of dung-carriers.
And with reason; for was born and
bred up to manhood in that part OF
England in which the whole OF the
farms are indebted for their existence,
as productive soil, TO the sheepfold.
How many years ago the regular
system OF folding first obtained never
could End out. Ii is very simple busl-
ness. The sheep gp to fold about seven
in the evening; NE next morning, rs
soon as the der is OF, they are let out, and
run on the natural down pasture for an
hour or two; they are then allowed 10
feed on some early forage plant-rye,
tares, Winter barley, Winter oats; then
a few hours on the downs again; another
feed OF forage plants, and about 4 p. NJ.
they Craze their way along the downs to
the fold. The Enclosure OF waited
hurdles is arranged to accommodate a
certain number of sheep, so that the
land may be properly and regularly
MANFRED. The calculation is that one
sheep passing one night on one square
yard OF land is equal, in money value,
TO G3 los. (Sl7.5O) per acre; and it is
upon this basis that act Of husbandry,
as they are called, for which the incom-
ing tenant has to pay his predecessor.
are valued. Think for a moment Of
what passes in the fold during the night.
The land has been recently plowed; the
LIQUID and solid OBJECTIONS are there
fore easily absorbed, the oil from the
fleece forming by no means an inap-
preciable part OF them. The sheep,
many weighing from a hundred to a
hundred and tweHty pounds each, pass
eight to ten hours couched on the same
spot, and the pressure OF their bodies,
together with the trampling OF their
tiny pointed hoofs, condense and so'idify
the land in a fashion that no roller
could hope to emulste.-Fro Wheat
