HENRY WATERS, of Youngstown, o.,
believed in ghosts, and had peculiar
dread of thea. His weakness was
known to his acquaintances, some of
whom planned practical joke at his
expense. They managed to draw the
bullets from the revolver which he kept
under his pillow. and then, in the night,
he awoke to see a white-robed figure
standing at the foot of his bed. Although
dreadfully frightened, he suspected that
it was a joker. Drawing his weapon, he
said: 81 shall fire when l count three.
One-two-three." The intruder made
no response, and Waters pulled the trig-
ger. No impression was made, of course,
and five more shots were fired. The
mock ghost laughed hoarsely, and threw
six bullets on the bed, as though he had
supernaturally caught them. Waters
shrieked with terror. Then the ghost
threw off his disguise, and the other
merrymakers burst into the room to
laugh at their victim. But he still gazed
fixedly. The shock had made him in
sane. Three weeks have elapsed with
out restoration of his reason, and it is
not expected that he will ever recover.

DAKOTA Territory was very appropri-
ately named, and Dakota is the best name
that could be chosen for the State which
Congress has apparently determined to
form out of the southern part of the Ter
ritory. But the, idea of calling the State
South Dakota and the remaininp portion
of the Territory North Dakotah is fool
ish, and ought to be abandoned.
The resort to adjectives is wholly un-
necessary. The name DakOtah has not
been so long in use as to identify it in
dissolubly with the northern half OF the
Territory. There is no dearth of other
suitable appellations for that region.
The most preferable is Pembina. 1t is
the name of well-known military post
on the Red River of the North, near the
British frontier. The county in which
the fort is situated is also called Penn

CHANGING HIS CORN.-"G. S. 81, Pa,
is not altogether satisfied with the corn,
one of the Flint varieties, that he now
grows. and asks our advice about pro-
curing kind of Dent corn from MINI.
Indian corn is, probably more than any
other plant, affected by local conditions.
When variety has been cultivated in a
neighborhood or Oh farm, and a selec-
tion of what appears to be the best, is
planted year after year, there is estab-
lished after while, if not variety,
what florists call a strain" There are
all over the country those kinds of corn
that have been, so to speak, bred to suit
the peculiarities of a particular locality.
This being the case, it is not advisable
to make wide step from the known to
the unknown; to give up a well tested
kind, and substitute one that has not
been tried. If change is desirable, we
should advise feeding a better kind in
the vicinity. If it is wished to substitute
the Minnesota variety, it is better to be-
gin with merely enough to furnish seed
for another year, provided the results of
the trial crop should warrant it. Violent
changes in an important crop are not
safe.--(American Agriculturist for
March.

How TO Kill Crows

Secure a large stuffed owl. Fasten
this to pole, and project the pole from
a tree, making the owl appear to be
perched upon limb. Fasten this Sc
curely in plain sight, where any passing
crow can see it. Then retire to a con-
cealed spot, within gunshot of the lure.
and wait for the crows. They will come
as soon as they catch sight of the owl.
Each crow must be shot when it comes
within range, that the report of the gun
may not frighten others away which
may De coming. If frightened away, a
crow will directly constitute himself a
committee of one to hang around the
spot and tell every other crow within

decoy, although they will come to Others

thus throwing his old county. which will

Retiring From Business
BY BRET HARTR.

What the Coloners business was no
body knew, nor did anybody care par
ticularly. He purchased for cash only
and never grumbled at the price of any
thing he wanted. Who could ask more
than that?
Curious people occasionally wondered
how. when it had been fully two year,
since the Colonel, with every one else
abandoned Dutch Creek to the Chinese
he managed to spend money freely anG
to lose considerable at cards and horse
races. In fact, the keeper of that one
of the Challenge Hill saloons which the
Colonel did not patronize was once heard
to wonder, absent-mindedly, whether the
Colonel hadn't money mill somewhere
where he turned out eagles and "slugs'
(the coast name of $50 gold pieces.
When so important parsonage as g
barkeeper INDUCED publicly in the idea
the Inhabitants of Challenge Hill, like
good Californians everywhere, consider.
cred themselves in duty bound to give
it grave consideration so for a few
days certain Industrious professional
gentlemen, who won money of the Col
onel, carefully weighed some of the
brightest pieces and tested them with
acids, and sawed them in two, and re-
tried them, and melted them up, and had
the lump assayed.
The result was the complete vindica-
tion of the Colonel, and the loss of con-
siderable custom te the indiscreet bar
keeper.
The Colonel was as good-natured a
man as had ever been known on Chal-
lenge Hill, but being mortal, the Colonel
had his occasional times of despondeH-
cy, and one of them occurred after a
series of races in which he had staked
his all on his bay mare Tipsie and had
lost.
Looking reproachfully at this beloved
animal. he failed to heed the aching
ly. swearing eloquently and glaring de-
family at all mankind were equally un-
productive Of coin.
The boys at the saloon sympathized
most feelingly with the Colonel. They
were unceasing in their invitations to
drink, and they exhibited considerable
Christian forbearance when the Colonel
savagely dissented from every one who
advanced any proposition, no matter
how incontrovertible. But unappreci-
ated sympathy grows decidedly tiresome
to the giver, and it was with a feeling
of relief that the boys saw the Colonel
stride out of the saloon, mount Tipsie
and gallop furiously away.
Riding on horseback has always been
considered an excellent sort of exercise.
Riding is universally admitted to be one
of the most healthful means of exhiler-
alton in the world, but when man is so
absorbed in this exercise that he will
not stop to speak to his friend, and
when his exhileration is so complete
that he turns his eyes from all we'll
meaning thumbs pointing significantly
into doorways, through which a man
had often passed while seeking bracing
influences, it is only nataral that people
should express some wonder.
The Colonel was we'll known at Tod
dy Flat, Lone Hand, Blazers Murder
er's Bar, and several other villages
through which he passed. AS no one
had been seen to precede him, betting
men were soon offering odds that the
Colonel was running away from some
body.

The Good Results of Protection.

The manufacture of American steel
rails was commenced in 1867, and since
then has made astonishing progress.
The rapid advance of this industry illus
trates the wisdom of our protective pol
icy, and it is for this reason, We sup
pose, that free traders assail the manu-
facture with so much bitterness. The
following table furnished by the Iron
and Steel Association Bulletin shows
the annual production of steel rails in
the United States since the commence
ment of their manufacture, together
with the average annual price at which
they have sold:

Seventh-Day Adyentism.

In the course of the history of the
Christian church many seets have arisen
by whom the speedy coming of Christ
to set up visible empire has been pro
claimed. The Seventh-day Adventist
says Professor Schem, originated as
early as 1874, and one of the first organ
izers of the movement was Elder James
White. Their headquarters are at Bat
tie Greek, Mich, where they have
fiourishing publishing house, etc, and
they have several donominational papers
in various languages. The same writer
adds that they hold strict temperance
views, including the prohibition of the
use of tobacco. and abstinence from
pork, tea and coffee is recommended.
They have about $50 churches and a
membership in the neighborhood of
5000. They set no time for the coming
of Christ.

Live and Dead Weight of TURKEYS.

A farmer frequently wants to know
the fair price for turkeys alive, when the
price is fixed by the butcher, or by the
middleman, who buys for the large city
market. New York takes turkeys SIM
ply bled and picked. The New England
markets, with better taste, want the
crop and sntrails out. The average loss
in dressing will be about one-fifteenth
for the New York market, and about
one-tenth for the Eastern markets, a
little more for small immature birds,
and little less for large well fattened
turkeys. An old gobler weighing 31%
lbs. alive, after loss of blood and feath
ers, weighed 29H lbs. or about one fif-
teenth; when ready for roasting, 2S16
pounds. a loss of about one-tenth. This
bird, at 20 cts. pound, the price which
middlemen have paid for frst-class
dressed turkeys in Connecticut the pres
ent season, would come to 500. Sold
by live weight at Is cts, iC would come
to $5.63. This would leave only Z cts.
for butchering and dressing, which is
below cost. The difference then, between
live and dead weight in turkeys raised
fer the Eastern market, is not over 2
cts. pound. Lively middlemen ask a
deduction of or cents. The farmer
may as well know that the difference in
value is only two cents, and claim it,

I 1t is computed that the American
steel rail mills will produce not less than
100000 gross tons of steel rails during
the current year, should that quantity
be required. Prior to 1871 the rate of
duty on steel rails was forty-five per
cent ad valorem, but at the beginning of
that year specific duty of twenty-eight
dollars per ton was established. This
was very much less than forty-fivs per
cent on the foreign valuation at the
time the ad varorem rate was first es-
tablished, and was but a slight increase
upon it as prices stood in 1870. When
the bill establishing the latter rate was
in consideration in the House of Repre-
sentatives it was predicted that the ef-
feet would be to cut off the importation
Of foreign rails to very large extent,
and deprive railway companies Of the
opportunity to buy the steel rails that
they would need, except the few manu-
factured in this country, which were
selling at an enormous cost. When this
prediction was made on the floor of the
House, steel rails were selling at $40
per ten, and the average price during
1870 was $l06.75. An examination of
the foregoing table will show that the
evil effects predicted have never occur
red. The resdlt of the protective duty
has been to greatly increase the produc-
ton of steel rails at home, and to reduce
the cost from S166 in 1867 to $50 per
ton, the present selling price. There are
new thirteen Bessemer steel establish
ments in the United States and two
others in course of construction. The
development of this new source of sup
ply has brought down the price of for
eign rails, and created so much of COM
petion at home as to insure low prices
to purchasers in the future. Last year
our railroad companies purchased Amer
lean steel rails to the amount of S73,-
100000, and imported foreign rails Of
the value of $7,650,000. The money thus
spent upon the home product remained
in the country to be distributed among
our own people, instead of finding its
way into the Golfers of foreign manu-
facturers. But for the protection which
this industry has received the country
would still be importing English rails at
a high price, and the money which is
now paid for railway construction, and
divided in due proportion to labor and
the producers of food products, would
have been diverted into a foreign chan
mel. In this case production has pro-
duced competition, and competition has
led to the reduction of prices.-[Cleye-
