last fall with such result that it gives pleasure
to recommend IL to the farmers generally. This
Phosphate cost us but s27.00 with as favorable
results as higher priced goods we have been
using for some years past. We sowed but leo
lbs on our corn ground field; we consider 1t the
heaviest field we have, the wheat stood well and
headed as we'll as some of our farmers who used
l75 to 200 lbs. OF $4,000 phosphate. This Phos-
phate was sold to US TO contain 1000 lbs. bone,
we are satisfied Il does, and we are 80 much
pleased with 1t that We expect TO use 1t again.

Those Gaps.

Young writer's ara occasionally
disheartened because they cannot
use their brains as easily as they
employ their hands. They sit
down determined to write, but after
trying in vain for an hour or two,
and finding the mind stoutly refus-
ing to work, give up in despair.
Thackery would often waste a dozen
sheets of paper before he could
make beginning. The following
account Of the Bronte sisters mode
of working may encourage those
who are mortified at their minds
rebellion:
1t was the household custom
among the girls to sew till nine
o'clock at night. AT that hour they
put away their work, and began to
pace the room backwards and for
wards, up and down-as often with
condles extinguished, for economy's
sake, as not-three figures glancing
into the freight and out into the
shadow perpetually.
In after years this was the time
for discussing together the plots of
their novels.
1t was not every day that Char
lotte could write. Sometimes there
were gaps of weeks and even months
in the composition of "Jane Eyre"
Then, some morning, she would
wake up with her mind full of ideas
and resume the thread of the nara
tive
They had an old servant, nearly
eighty years of age, whose failing
sight often left black specks in the
potatoes she insisted upon peeling,
and many time did Charlotte lay
down her pen, in the fulness Of her
inspiration, to remedy this culinary
defect
She wrote her first draft in mi
mute hand upon scraps Of paper
which she held against a piece OF
book binders board as she sat in
the freight, Or up in bed at night.

oft. The result was that Califor-
mia got tipsy and acted for all the
world like a man when he is drunk,
but was SO funny about it that peo-
pie used to make it tipsy afterward
to see its queer antics. This was a
bad thing for California and result
ed in its going into the company OF
those who frequent saloons, for hav-
ing once acquired a taste for strong
drink the pig wasn't any more SEN
sible than its companions, and
would drink whenever anyone
would treat it. Finally it became
as much of a hog as its two legged
companions. and ended its life, as
many Of them do, in a gutter. 1t
was sad ending for California. No
one knew just how it happened but
one night after = visit % several
drinking places where the Inmates
had treated it as usual, piggy start
ed for home but never got there.
1t had fallen into mud hole by
the road side and drowned. Cali
fornia knew a good deal more than
most pigs, but it didn't know
enough to let strong drink alone and
therefore it met the sad fate that SO
often befalls those who ought to
know more than California did.

Three-Cornered.

The boundary line expedient has
been tried More than once by smart,
unprincipled publleans, who defy
both law and morality for the sake
Of making money. Generally such
experiments have had only short
lived success. 1t is gratifying to
know that the transgressor in the
following instance was finally "cor-
nered"-though there is a laughable
element in the dramatic story OF
the pursuit of justice, as the Spring
field Republican tells it:
There is spot in Vermont where
three counties and three States
meet, viz, Massachusetts, Vernon,
and New York. A while ago a man
leased the spot and erected three.
cornercd shanty, containing q
three-cornered bar, with a stone al
its center, and began to sell liquor
without q license to the sovereigns
Of three States.
When the Bay State constable
came in due time with his handcutfi
and warrant to arrest him, the cul
prit stepped into the Vermont cor
ner, and pointing to the intervenin,
stone, defied him. The same hap
pened to q Vermont officer.
Then the constables connived Il
meet and seize him together
While they were pulling out thei
/ warrants and handouts the rum
seller broke away from them AM
| got over into the State Of New York
where he was beyond the jurisdic
ton Of both.
Then the naksty of the law \

three States was aroused, and the
three officers moved upon the shan
~ at once and the same time, and
the defiant rum-seller was in hot
water. He carried out the coke"
to the end, however, and getting on
top Of the stone which stands partly
in the three States, he shouted:
"Come on and divide ME into three
parts, but III make it hot for the
one that takes the two-thirds that
don't belong to him!n
He had, however, taken too large
q quantity of his own medicine to
enable him to preserve his equilibri-
UNI on top Of the stone, and while
still defying the constables he fell
of and rolled over into the State Of
Massachusetts,, where he WINS secur-
ua " the officer of that State, and
taken to Willamstown in triumph.

Washington Thirty years Ago.

In this cosmopolitan city where
men of note not only congregatc but
take up their residence. is a gentle
man who at one time was steward at
the White House in Washington.
1t was in the last days Of Pierce's
administration, before the courtly
days of the old regime had given
place to the dash and glitter that
have since obtained d foothold there;
days when entertainers and the en-
tertained were men of note; and his
accounts Of their manners recall
those of the courts of Europe rath-
er than republican America, and the
mention of their names bring up
those who have mostly passed into
history; Clay, Calhoun, Webster,
Benton, Douglas and others, whose
remarkable influence is even yet felt
in the councils of the nation.
Washington society at that time
mainly consisted Of the Corps Di
plomatique, the more prominent
senators and representatives and the
courtly inmates of the White House
and at the few receptions and enter
tainments given the guests were
mainly drawn from the families of
these dignitaries, and were held at
the houses which they occupied.
Occasionally "crush" would be
given by some southern NJ. c. at
Willard's which latter place was
then small compared with its pres.
ent huge dimensions. Among the
representatives Of foreign govern
ments he mentioned was Sartoris,
grandfather of the one who married
Nellie Grant The old gentleman
was bit Of wag, and one of his
jokes has caused a good deal of
amusement ever since. The story
in brief is this: Geo. Jones, then
in London, had written book
which fell into the hands ofSartoris.
Judging from the character of the
book, that its author would be q
good subject, he wrote him a letter
stating the great pleasure he had
derived from its perusal, and in re-
cognition of its profound depth, lit
erary merit, etc, conferredson Jones
the title Of count, stating that he
(Sartoris) being count palatine Of
the Roman Empire was authorized
to confer that distinction. At the
same time he got another wag to
send Jones decoration purporting
to be that Of the order Of the Holy
Ghost Of Portugal. Jones took the
matter seriously and ever after wore
| the decoration and called himsell
George the Count Joannes.
Sartoris was glorious entertainer
as was De Sartige the French, von
Hansen the German, De Canada the
Spanish, and Lutz the Swiss minis
tiers, at whose reception he assisted
both as steward and Interpreter.
| At that time the work Of build
ing the wings to the capitol had jus
begun and the foundation for thu
immense treasury building near tn,
| White House was being laid
Wormley's celebrated caravanear,
was but an obscure restaurant an,
the city was then in reality what
has so often been termed, a city Q
magnificent distances.
