Some time ago at Lord Sherbrooke's
town house the butler caught a strange
man hiding in store closet between the
hours of nine and ten p. M, evidently
with burglarious intent. Taking him
to Viscount Sherbrooke, who was In his
study, the butler asked whether he
should fetch policeman. Certainly"
said his lordship; "or rather, you need
not trouble; win ring for oner' and so
saying, he rang the bell Buttons APP
pearing, his lordship said gravely,
civilian, go into the Kitchen and tell q
policeman or two to come up" Getting
no answer to his puzzled and amazed
look, the boy went, only TO return in a
few moments to say that there was no

Raise a Few Grapes.

There is no objection to raising many
grapes on farm, and most farmers
would find it profitable to do so. But
every man who cultivates piece of
land of any size, from that of village
garden to farm embracing q section,
should raise grapes enough for the
supply of himself and family. No fruit
is so easily and cheaply raised as grapes.
We have varieties so hardy that the vines
will stand as much exposure as apple
trees and be more likely to bear. Well
rooted Concord grapes can be obtained
in many places for dime each or 81
per dozen. They will produce several
clusters to the vine the second year after
they are planted out. No costly trellis
is necessary to support them. They can
be twined to stakes, fences, posts, or the
sides of buildings. They may be made
to cover arbors and serve the purposes
of ornamentation. With few vines to
start with it is very easy to multiply
them by cuttings. A grapevine once
established and well taken care of will
continue to produce fruit for twenty
years. Grapes rank among the most
excellent food. They are the cheapest
luxuries that can be enjoyed on farms.
During the time they are ripe they
should be so abundant that every one can
have supply. They are the best when
eaten as they are picked from the vine,
but they make excellent pies and sauce.
They are the superiors of most fruits for
canning purposes. 1t is often easier
and cheaper to make wine than cider,
as no crusher or expensive press is re-
quired. The wine can be converted in
to vinegar if desired. No fruit except
currants make as good jelly as grapes.
But for all this and for all that many
persons continue to deny themselves
grapes, which are as easily produced as
as corn and potatoes Chicago Times.

Potatoes Under Straw.

Several years ago there was much
said about growing potatoes under
straw, and we published at the time
several reports from those who had
tried the method with success. Inter.
est in the subject appears to be renewed,
to judge from inquiries. The method is
very simple. The land is prepared in
the usual manner and the rows marked
Off the sets are dropped along the row:
and very slightly or not at all covered
with soil. The whole field, or bed, is
then covered with eight or ten inches
thickness of old straw. Nothing more
is required until digging time, unlos:
some strong weeds should make theil
way through the straw, and these may
be pulled. 1t is claimed that the yielC
is larger and the potatoes are mucl
handsomer than those treated in tht
usual manner American AgricglturiSl

A French Spectators Ruin.

This gentleman was leading a quiet,
easy, lazy life, with his paternal fortune
of about 600, 900 francs placed in tive-per
cent. stocks. The Union was founded;
he saw in the Board of Directors some
of the best names of France-names
which had hitherto been spotless. He
took 5000 shares, ON which he paid one
fourth, which was called. This absorbed
575, ,000-that is to say, his whole
fortune. The shares rose, rose, first
gradually, then feverishly, under the
excitement of II wild speculation. The
Jews sold; the Union bought its own
shares; the shares rose to 5000 francs.
My gentleman was then able to realize
5000, 900 of francs. All his friends
urged him to do so. No; the shares
would rise higher; he had faith in the
enterprise and its leaders. They rose
to $500 francs, when suddenly the
panic came; the Union had bought sc
many of its own shares that al
its resources were gone. Its enemies
were advised of it; they sold and
sold and literally threw out of the
window, shares which the Union coult
no longer buy. In single day Tho
shares fell by the thousand francs The
unfortunate millionaire saw his millions
dwindle under him, and in the course o
a week he was ruined. He never sold
the crisis was so sudden that he had M
time for reflection, and his stupid faitl
only vanished when everything hat
vanished. And what is his positio,

London, from whence he came five years

that, in America, orthodox ministers are
expected to confine themselves to their
churches and congregations, and not to
meddle with politics or public affairs. In
England clergyman can be a justice OF

DESPITE the unjust and persistent attacks made upon Hon. James L. Denton, that worthy gentleman was nominated for superintendent of pub lie instruction by an overwhelming vote. The people never had truer, more capable or worthier servant than MT. Denton, and they will re- joice that he is to be retained at the head of the school system of the state. An efficient state superin- tendent of public instruction, such as Mr. Denton has proven himself to be, is one of the best of immigration agencies, for, upon the proper ad- ministration of the affairs of his of flee depends much of the growth of the commonwealth.

BRO. LEIGH, of the Morrillton Headlight, misunderstands the pur- port of the resolution adopted at the democratic convention held ill this (Illinois) township on the 27th ult The intent of the resolution is to re- quest the next general assembly to take the power to vote the special school tax out of the hands of the people and make it obligatory upon the county court of the respective counties to levy the same. As the law now stands, the tax is too ire qucntly sdefeated by petty factions and illtcrate majorities, and the idea is to levy the tax and compel the people to have school in each district. It is desired by our people that such a law be enacted, and that the tax, when levied, be collected and disburscd as provided for by the present law, each district to receive the benefit of the entire amount of the tax so levied and collected. We fail, brother, to see wherein such a law would be in violation of any part of the constitution. It would mere ly transfer the matter from the peo- ple to their representatives assem- blcd in q legislative capacity, and insure q public school in EVERY dis trict of the several counties for pc riod of not less than six months du- ration.

MANY persons in the old states are contemplating a change of home and are casting about for the most de sirable place to locate in permanent ly. To all such we say, come to Western Arkansas. Here you will find land, hill and bottom, of the finest quality, and capable of pro ducing abundantly of everything that grows North or South, except the tropical fruits. Small grain grows finely and yields abundant harvests. The grasses do well, and due attention to the production of the same wi make this section one of the very best and most desirable stock regions in the United States. Fruits do well and ripen early, mak- ing our portion of the state THE place for the fruitgrower. Many gentle men of energy and enterprise have engaged largely in the culture of fruit, and have made it pay hand somely. Arkansas fruits commands the highest price in the St. Louis market. All the vegetables grow luXuriantly and afford a surplus for market. In short, as an agricultural region, we proudly assert that West ern Arkansas cannot be eXcelled. The climate is even and healthful and the finest of water abounds. In mineral resources this portion of the state is rich, and only needs the presence of capitalists and men of muscle, who have experience in min ing, to develop the wealth that lies hidden in the mountains. Timber of the finest quality and greatest abundance is found on every hand, and already the busy hum of numer- ous sawmills is heard throughout the valleys. Industrial pursuits are en- couraged, and the region we write of is dotted with cotton, oil and flour mills, machine shops, wagon and blow factories, etc, but the cry is for more. The people are sober moral and industrious Churches and schools are to be seen on almost every hilltop. The towns are live and progressive, and the citizens we'll up with the times. Society is good and the people find time to cul- tivate taste for literature and art Such is Western Arkansas, and it is to such a country that we join with our people in inviting the intelligent sober, industrious farmer and me chanic to come and cast their lot The capitalist is urged to come anC invest his money in the numerou. enterprises that are projected, Al classes of good people are cordially invited to come and settle in West ern Arkansas, especially in Pop, county.
