Attractive Features.
BABY SHOW AND FARMERS CLUB PROPOSED.

bABf SHOW AND FAkMEhS CLUB PROPOSED.
| Mr.. Editor 1t seems TO me that the
change of time for holding the Fair is already
proved to be wise measure as far as the
weather is connected with the subject, for
1t appears that it would have been matter
OF considerable nicely to have selected three
days in the present month and have all of
them propitious for the Agricultural Exhi-
bition, even with the assistance of the Won
derful Vennors weather predictions.
Apropos of the Fair think baby show
would be wonderfully attractive and in
teresting feature of the occasion and feel
powerful wish that such feature might
yet be adopted and added to the attractions
of the Fair. Mrs. Granger and are dread
fully proud of our baby and we really think
it pity that the community generally can
not have the advantage of the knowledge
that there is such baby in the county, to-
gether with the opportunity Of seeing him.
l love babies and it gives me real happiness
to know that am able generally to attach
them to me. People think babies are an
awful bother and don't take much interest
in them, but it is because they don't study
them and get acquainted with them. Some
OF them are wonderfully intelligent and in
teresting. am Just positive that il the So
ciety would add this feature of a baby show
to the list OF entertainments and ifthe ladies
would canvass the subject little it would
be great source OF pleasure and amuse-
ment at the next Fair.
Do you not think the Fair would present
a good opportunity for the organization of
a Farmers GlubY am regular reader of
the american Farmer and believe l de.
rive more pleasure, interest and information
from the minutes of the Gunpowder Club, of
baltimore county, published In its columns
regularly than anything else in that valu.
able journal. The gentleman OF the club
visit periodically each Others residences in
body. They examine the general ar
Engagements for carrying on the business of
farming, and have discussion of some ques-
ton pertaining to the subject of agriculture,
preappointed for the occasion. cannot
help thinking that such a club would re.
fleet great deal Of pleasure and profit on
its members, and credit on the county
Please tell us, editorially, what You think
about it.

Charlotte CusIaman.

The famous tragedienne, Charlotte
Cushman, is the most distinguished
woman buried in Mount Auburn. Her
monument is modelled after the Egypt
ian obelisk recently erected in Central
Park, the shaft being twenty-five feet in
height. This rests on suitable founda-
ton, and the entire structure is nearly
thirty-four feet. The only inscription is
the name "Charlotte Cushman, " which,
indeed, is all that is required. Miss
Cushman was native of Boston, and
was the oldest of five children. Her
father was bankrupt, and she went on
the stage for the purpose OF atfordlng a
support to those she loved. She devel-
oped an extraordinary dramatic genius,
which was fully appreciated by the pub
lie. and her role included the highest
range of Shakspearean characters.
Hence she drew immense audiences, and
as result her professional emoluments
wereof an unparalleled amount. She was
always highly liberal to her relatives,
and left them an estate estimated at q
half million. Miss Cusnman was the
only distinguished tragedienne that went
through life unmarried. The reason o.
her celibacy is unknown, but it may be
supposed that her bold, masculine man
ners were too repulsiye. She had one
admirer, however, but no one knows the
reason why he was unsuccessful. Per
haps he shrank at last from offering his
hand to one of such hauteur and auto
cratic disposition, or some pique may
have led her to reject him in hope of
more distinguished match. Whatevel
be the reason, she remained Charlotte
Cushman, and gave noble example 0
the dignity of maiden life. She selected
a lot in Mt. Auburn some time before
her death, and showed her usual taste il
the preference of locality. 1t is prettily

Icebergs Viewed EstheticaIlH

1t is pity that the iceberg should be
SO highly dangerous, for nothing that
floats upon the deep is more impressive
and picturesque. Such beautiful objects
ought to be fixtures, that they might be
sighted and their grandeur elIioved
without more risk than lovely stretch
OF coast or green and cleaning South
sea island offers. Yet, if the truth must
be told, something of the composite
emotion which the spectacle of an Ice
berg excltes is due to the element of
fear which the spectacle conveys along
with It's majesty and beauty. Figure a
sea sHrouded In driving mist and rain
and feather particles of snow; the bill
lows leap out of the thickness as though
born OF the void from which they curl,
combing over in green trans
parent arches and breaking into
dazzling spaces of foam the decks are
dark with wet, and the ship has gray
and frozen look as she sweeps over the
kissing and soaring and trampling
surges toward that .whirling fog-curtain
which ever recedes before her while it
closes upon her astern. Suddenly a
loud voice rings out Of the pailid vague
ness of the forecastle and even as the
helm is shifted there shapes itself with
terrible abruptness out of the obscurity
ahead huge outline-an object like an
island, Enthusiastically covered with NINA
rets, steeples, towers, looming bastions
and cathedral-like forms, which vanish
in the rushing folds of the pale, rain
swept sea-mist. The thunder of the
sea shifting its base and boiling
up In heights of sparkling smoke
awakens thousand sullen echoes in the
crystal caverns, in the gloom of the pre-
cipices, and amid the marble-like hills
and heights of the enormous berg. AS
the voyager sweeps past he hears the
cracking and rending of ice, he marks
the briiliancy of snow upon the jutting
points which open out upon the sight
with startling suddenness, amid flaws in
the pouring and eddying mist, and he
feels the singing breath of the frozen
mass on his cheek as the gale blows past
it down upon him. AS the ship runs
roaring by the thunder laden apparition,
large Jumps of ice shower upon her, and
over the rail, the green fragments may
be seen colored to the very complexion
of the deep, half leaping out of theswirl
OF foam alongside and vanishing astern
amid the swoop of the rushing waters.
What pen can describe the desolation of
a berg SO beheld, looming up, as it were.

A Spell on the CorpuIent GentIems


Two or three years ago there lived in
the lowor oil country prominent oil
producer who was a VIGOROUSLY bad
speller. In letter, among other errors,
he spelled water with two rs. A party
of gentlemen were discussing this pecul-
iarity in the bar-room of the Collins
House, Oil City, one evening, when
Al Hello !" said one Hiiff1 the party, cor

els that SOP" was the reply, "And
what were you saying?"
"Why, some of the boys claim that
you are the worst speller in seventeen
States. .' 1852" .#
"They do? I think I can spell about
as we'll as the average producer"
"I'll tell you what LII do with you,"
said the first speaker, "Ill bet the cham
payne for the party that you can't spell
water" fa5t |lsce
Cali right" replied the producer,
aud he proceeded to spell the word,
"w-a-t-er."
"That's the way I spell water for
money" he quietly remarked, "but
when spell it for fun | sometimes use
Two u.s."
The corpulent gentleman paid for the
wine, and the silence became so great
that you could hear a. house fall down.
