Witty REPLIES.

Sarah, the only daughter of DR.. Frank
lin, and wife of Richard Bache, was
noted as wit and jealous Republican.
A schOol-teacher, who had treated Mrs.
Bache's children with marked attention
as "young ladies of rank" received
from her witty reproof.
"My DEAR" said Mrs. Bache, "there
is no rank in this country but-rank
mutton"
The British officers, when their army
occupied Charleston, s. c., in the Revo-
luton, were often the targets of the
brilliant Wing women. At certain
ball young officer of the Guards, who
was to head an expedition In the coun-
try, offered to take letters from Mrs.
Brewton to her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Motto, she who subsequently furnished
the bow and arrows to an American Of
ficer wherewith to set fire to her mansion
and thus drive out the British soldiers,
who had turned it into fortress.
"Thank you, Lieutenant" replied
Mrs. Brewton 81 should like much to
write, but really have no wish to have
my letters read at the head of Marion's
brigade.s
At one Of President Pclk's levees a
gentleman said to Mrs. Polk, with a
patronizing air, "Madame, you have a
very geateeI assemblage tonight"
"Sir," replied that excellent lady, with
good humor, but with significant
smile, 4" have never seen it otherwise. 3"
One morning at Saratoga Mrs. Con-
ventry Waddell came late to the break
fast-table, where Washington Irving and
I. 7. Kennedy were seated. "Here
come' Aurora r' said irving, gayly. do
you sell it with an "A or an 'R ?"
asked the lady.
One evening at partyin Washington
q gentleman, noted for his censorious
spirit and for being the husband of a
stupid wife, was looking at an engraved
portrait of Lady Byron.
"I should not like to marry one of
those clever women they are seldom
suited for it."
"Well," retorted the brilliant William
9. Preston, 81 like to see mans prac-
tice il life correspond with his theory" I"

The Lime-KiIn Club.

After Samuel Shin had struck the tn
angle the usual six strokes, and Pickles
Smith had got his dog made fast to the
club safe, the President arose and asked:
"Am Judge Staveaway Bulger in the
hall dis eavnin' ?"
"He are," was the answer from spot
near the water pail.
"Den would like to have you step
ford to de desk"
The Judge advanced with auprehen-
sion in his eyes and his knees Knocking
together, and when he had reached the
desired position Brother Gardner con-
tinued:
"Brudder Bulger, I liz reliably in
formed dat surgeon picked twenty-five
bird shot outer your back de odder day.
"Y-yes. sah."
can I liz furder informed dat de said
shot struck you while you war gallopin'
down an alley on the Cass farm"
"J-ist SO, sah."
cam de las information am to de ef-
feet dat you didn't git de chickens you
war arter."
"Chickens p
Yes, chickens When I say chick
ems l doan' mean calves. A sartin white
man was watchin' sartin hen-roost. A
pusson to him unknown climbed de
fence to accumulate poultry, but took
fright an started on run. De gun
'9ent off arter him, an some of it cotched
him. Brudder Bulger, has you anything
to say befo' de Committee on Harmony
leads you to the head of the stairs an
lets you drap?"
81 reckon I has, sab. I doan' deny
dat l was shot in de back, an I admit
dat it war in an alley, but it was done by
a boy who was out huntin' rabbits. Yes,
sab, an he's dun begged my pardon an
axed my forgiveness, an he's gwine to
pay all de expenses"
Brudder Bulger, what am de name of
dat boy ?"
CT hassdun forgot, sah."
Gam night de time to hunt rabbits p''
"Dats de very best time to hunt
some kinds, sah."
An you wasn't arter chickens ?"
Chickens! Why, de very name of
chicken makes me sick. I was lookin'
arter my knife in de alley, an [ didn' t
lind it.
The President scratched his ear for a
minute, and then said:
I'D like vote of de club on dis
queshun. Secretary, call de roll"
The roll was called, and the vote stood:
Guilty, 81; not guilty, So. Elder Toots,
being asleep, did not vote, and Samuel
Shin asked to be excused on the ground
that he loved the Judges half-sister.
Brudder Bulger, de club says not
guilty." observed the President, "but
1t am such a powerful close shave dat
deem it my dooty to warn you dat de
mex time anybody goes out rabbit
huntin' an takes you fur rabbit, your
place in dis club will be declar'd vacant
in tone of voice dat will make de cold

Our White.Pine Sunnly.

The announcement made by authori-
ty of q Government bureau that the
white-pine forests of the United States
would at the present rate of consump-
tlon furnish less than twelve years sup
ply of that indispensable timber, al
though copied into most of the papers,
has not received the general attention
which it deserves, and probably will not
until the advancing cost of pine lumber
brings the lesson forcibly home to the
public mind. This advance has. how
ever, already begun, the price of pine
land in the great timber-produclng
States having doubled within few
weeks. and the question of the employ
ment of some other material for the
coarser Uses of building is earnestly dis
cussed among architects and contractors.
On some accounts the substitution of
hard wood for pine in the finishing of
houses would tend to promote their
soildlty as we'll as their artistic interest,
both OF which are compromised by the
universal habit of using hard wood only
In the form of veneers or castings upon
the grounds of cheaper material but a
decided progress will have to be made in
the art of seasoning and working the
timber of deciduous trees before it can
be used in large pieces in way to sat-
isfy those accustomed to the straight
ness, smoothness and unvarying charac-
ter of pine. For framing spruce and
hemlock, with white-wood in the South
ern and Middle States, will probably
soon occupy the field entirely, and the
makers of laths and shingles will per-
haps transfer their industries to the for
ests of hemlock or arbor-vit@. For in
terror finish, ash. oak, including many
kinds now rejected, chestnut, black
birch, walnut and elm may be turned to
good account, while for exterior work
the deciduous varieties will probably be
introduced before long, for the sake OF
variety, If not of economy, and with
them style of design different from
that now practiced, to which they are
totally unsuited. -Architect.

Strike of Street Car Employees.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-The conductors and
drivers employed by the north division
street railway company struck this morn
ing at ten o'clock and all cars on that di-
vision in the city stopped. The trouble is
not one of wages, but hours. A short
time ago the company employed new
superintendent who, as the men claim, in
creased their hours of labor unreasonably.
They met and resolved that the new su-
perintendent be discharged and the for
mer hours restored or they would quit
work. The company was given till this
morning to decide.

Obituary.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2S.-W. F. Barnett,
one of the leading lawyers of the state,
after long illness, died at his home this
forenoon. His last request was that the
courts and bar, as is usual in such cases,
should take no notice of his death.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. 2S.-Robert s.
Fergus, a journalist, died yesterday. He
was for time an officer in the Fourteenth
United States infantry, but resigned his
commission upon the loss of his wife and
child in the burning of the officers quar-
ters at post in Wyoming.

FARMERS COLUMN.
Early Dividends.


Capitalists are iond of buying stock that
yields divdends,and are quite content now
to get bonds that will pay four or FIVE per
centannually. A neghbor Of ours spread a
barrowful of manure taken from under tho
floor of a horse stable, about the middle of
April. The manure or earth had received
the urine Of horSo for some the, and
represented the volue of That commruity.
1t was spread on about square rod OF cid
meadow, that had received no manure icr
dozen years or more. The grass took a
fresh start soon alter the application, and
clearly defined the dressed plat, by It's ark
green, and luxurisnt growth, On the
twentieth Of June, the grass was so heavy,
that it was partly lodged and rendy tor The
scythe. The yield fgrass is certainly quad
rupled by the top-dressng. Sixty days from
at least ou- hail the value Of the manure.
He will get a second crop this season which
makes another dividend. The sod below is
enriched with n great growth Of grass roois,
watch is an increns' of capital, aud will
coltnue to give fair divid, n lie for sever al
years to come. lie is so well pleased with
Tn springs investment, that he has en-
iar5ei the area Of top dressing on the mead
NV, and applied fresh manure from the
stable, made up of leaves, and horse and
cow dung, on the twentieth of June. The
grass cut IN this second plot was very thin,
certainly less than half ton to the acre.
He confidently expects dividend from this
investment in about sixty days, and per
manent increase of capital. Now is ii not
much better for a cultivator to put his capi-
tai upon bis own land, under his own sup
ervison, and get good dividends, early and
often, than to invest in railroads, steam
boats, factories, or Wall street7 Investing AT
home, he knows what he is about, and
with an average expenditure Of brain and
muscle, he can command early diyidends.

Marketing Pears.

Pears, whether early or late, should never
remain on the tree till they become mellow.
Whenever they have made their growth
they should be gathered. 1t IS easy To tell
the proper condition by observing the ease
with which the stem parts from the tree. II
on taking hold "f a pear and lifting il, the
stem readily breaks away from the spur to
which it is attached, the fruit has received
all the punishment il can get from the tree
and the sooner it is gathered the better.
Pears are sent a. market in crates and in
half barrels; especially fue specimens are
sent in shallow boxes, only deep enough for
a single layer of fruit, aud each pear is
wrapped in thin white paper. Extra speci-
mems OF any of the STANDARD kinds, will
bring enough more to pay Tor this extra care
IN packing. The early varieties mature
quicker after gathering than the later kinds
but all should reach the market in a rn
au hard condition. As with all Other
| fruit, it will pay to carefully assprr pears
| Make three lots, tirsts aud seconds tor mar
krt, and the third for keeping at home-fol
the pigs il need be, there Is positively u,
,ale for poor pears,- american AgricglttriSt
