A Crisp Style of Correspondence.

The shortest correspondence with the
most meat in it occurred in this State
last week. George Founder, an old
soldier living at Fort Atkinson, in look
ing over pamphlet issued by reaper
factory, noticed among the certificates
one signed by Edward Hubble, of James
vile. The name was the same as that
of an old comrade, and he sat down and
wrote as follows to Hubble: "Are you
the galoot that was in Company K, Sec
ond Wisconsin Oavalry?" The next day
there came an answer as follows: "I am
the same huckleberry. Come and see
me-" Those two old soldiers will soon
get together, without any more red
tape, and they will talk each others
arms off about the times they had when
Forrest came in on them at Memphis
fiiaOGukee Sun.

A Mystery Of the Sea.

A mystery of the sea has just been
solved, and it's solution discloses, in all
probability, diabolical crime. In the
fall of 1867 the schooner Explorer
sailed from Goderich on Lake Huron
for Georgian Bay with stock of goods
to trade among the Indians. Late in
November of the same year John Wad-
del, who owned and sailed her. returned
to Port Huron and told pitiful tale of
disaster. He said that the schooner
had been struck by squall and knocked
on her beam ends, SO that the cargo
shifted. The two sailors went into the
hold against his wishes for the purpose
of Trolling some barrels to windward,
and thus righting her, and while they
were thus engaged another sudden gust
sank the vessel and the men were
drowned, the owner alone escaping.
The following spring Waddel, having
collected his insurance of $4,000, re-
moved to Goderich. It was noticed
that he made frequent trips with his
little boy in an open boat to the North
Shore, and, in 1870, on one of these voy-
ages the boat capsized, and father and
son were drowned. These suspicious
trips were remembered, and when, five
or six years ago, fisherman discovered
sunken schooner in deep water off
Cape Rurd she was forthwith supposed
to be the Explorer. But Waddel was
dead and no steps were taken to estab-
lish her identity until few weeks ago.
Since then Captain FL. N. Jex, of Port
Huron, has raised the sunken schooner,
which, sure enough, proves to be the
lost Explorer.
She had been stripped of her canvas,
her cargo taken out, about fifteen tons
of stone placed on board, and dozen
inch -and-a-half augur-holes bored in her
center board box close down to the
keel. The doors of the cabin were
found to be securely locked, and the
body If one of the sailors. covered with
moss, was found in the cabin. a skylight
of which had been broken in some way.
1t is thought the other body hoated
out. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
Waddel, after getting the sailors to help
him to secrete the cargo, canvas, etc.,
was afraid to trust them with the secret;
that by the aid of whisky or drugs he
succeeded in locking them in the cabin,
and then let in the water.

Fast Young Men.

Not long ago in Chicago, young
man of fine family, admirable talents
and pleasant address died miserably like
q dog at the hands of his mistress. He
was in his lifetime jolly, good fellow,
had many boon companions, who joined
with him in dissipation and revels, and
who probably often with maudlin fervor
pledged their never-dying friendship.
Yet it is stated as a fact that when the
body lay stark and cold in the morgue,
preparatory to removal to an interior
city for interment, not one of the ''fast"
associates of the young man paid it the
small affectionate tribute of visit, and
not one tear is known to have been shed
by one of the depraved and besotted
crew who once joined SO hilariously with
him in orgies. There is lesson in this
which young men who have an inclina-
ton to go with ''fast" company, or who
perhaps are now tasting what they re-
gard as the sweets of dissipation, should
take to heart. The road which is lined

leads to ruin and disgrace. The friend
ships there contracted are false the
enjoyment unreal the dangers terrible,
and the awakening awful. Your ''fast"
man is, as rule, coarse, brutal and of
low instincts. He may be apparently
generous with money, but he is cold
blooded at heart. His generosity, too,
is sham, for it is wanton prodigality
which leads to suffering and woe. 1t
incites in others expenditures which
they can i'll afford, and all too often
leads to resort to dishonorable means
and crime to procure the money with
which to pursue the reckless course.
Had the Chicago fast man directed his
energies in good channels, he would
now be alive, respected and prosper

wretched death.

Hay-Making in ShOwery Weather.

Making hay when the sun shines is
an easy matter, but a showery season,
as rule, brings disaster, and making
hay without the sun has long been q
problem agriculturists have been trying
to solve. In England, where the
question of harvesting crops in bad
weather is one of the highest agricuI-
tural Importance, number of
methods have been introduced which
differ from the usual practices.
A mode of harvesting, perfected and
successfully practiced for number of
years by Mr.. R. Nelson, of lakewood,
near Liverpool, is attracting much at
tention. 1t is claimed for this method
that almost any kind of field crop may
be harvested in any weather without
loss.
Mr.. Nelson's method, as applied to
the hay crop, is described as follows in
an English exchange: When the grass is
mown it may lie in swath couple of
days with single turnover on the first
day, or may be tedded over the ground
soon after cutting. It may then be
stacked in round stack, say twenty
feet in diameter. The stack is built
over tube of wood or iron, which runs
from its centre outward. In the centre
of the stack as it is built sack of straw
or basket is placed, which is drawn
upward as the stacking proceeds. Half
way up the stack small tube is in
serted, just large enough to allow of a
thermometer, fixed at the end of latb,
to be introduced to take the tempera-
ture of the stack. When the stack is
finished there is hollow space in the
middle, running up to about third of
its height, from the bottom of which
large tube runs into the open air. The
end of this tube is connected with an
exhaust fan and as soon as the stack
begins to heat, the fan is set to work
and the damp is drawn forth in cloud
of steam. The fan exhausts the tube,
the outer air presses through the stack
in all directions to supply it and the
hay is cooled and dried. The stack can
thus be kept at any temperature by
watching the thermometer and little
careful attention has been found to
make the condition of the hay thus
treated perfect, even in cases in which
it had been stacked quite wet. The
method is easy to carry out; it saves in
labor in the bayfield, what it costs in
simple machinery; and, unless the state
ments made about it are greatly ex-
aggerated, it makes the farmer largely
independent of the weather.

A BRAVE SOLDIER. During General
Sherman's operations in Georgia large
quantities of ammunition were stored
in the railroad sheds at Kesaca. One
day the building was struck by light
ming. Hundreds of the bravest soldiers
took to fight as they saw boxes of shell
thrown about, saw the guards drop as
if shot, and saw smoke issuing from the
top of the great pile of explosives. But
one man, clear-eyed and cool headed,
saw that the smoke came from tow in
which the shells were packed, and,
climbing to the top, he seized the burn
ing mass, and holding it up shouted ::
Gan right, boys, no fireworks this
time" His intrepidity and alertness
saved the ammunition and possibly
many lives.
