Making Adobas.

Recently we drove down to see them
making adobes, says a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times. They make an
"acequaih by drawing the water through
ditch from the creek. to where the
adobes are to be made. This water,
clay and chopped hay form the adobe
material. The workers presented q
picturesque appearance, the red hand
kerchiefs bound about their ioreheads
contrasting with their bronzed skins,
glittering eyes and dark hair. They
wore gray-colored shirts and pants that
might have been white at the embarka-
ton of Noah's ark. They were rolled
high above the knees. Two Of the men
stood knee-deep in the mud, with which
they loaded an oblons litter, trotting
with it to man on the hill above, who
nodded the bricks. He had hollow
rectangular frame, three inches in depth
and divided in the center. Placing this
on the ground he filled it with mud
from the litter, smoothed the mud even
at the top, and raising the litter left two
bricks on the ground, while the two
men trotted back and again loaded the
litter. After these adobes dry on the
top they are turned sideways to harden
in the sun. At night they are carefully
covered with tarpaulin, in case of rain,
which destroys them if it falls before
they are hardened. The Mexicans, In
building their houses, hollow out q
place in front of the building, where the
t'aeequai' is formed TO make the adobe.
and when the house is finished use this
hollow for debris.

Counseling His Friends,

Political aspirants have odd ways
sometimes of fishing for nomination,
but there is one way that has become
decidedly common-''urged by friends
to save tho party, etc." This reminds
me of story of an old farmer of Erie
County, now dead, but at one time one
of the strongest of Republicans. He
had been honored with petty offices in
his own section, but had longing de-
sire to figure as a county officer. Ac-
cordingly one dayh he approached one of
the leaders of the party, and after lit
tie Introductory talk about the crops
and the weather. the conversation soon
drifted to the subject of politics. This
gave the old man his chance, and soon
he remarked:
"Do you know, Mr.. -, my friends
have all been urging me for sa-eraI
years to run for Sheriff. They saw I
ought to do 1t in the fc.i.erest of the par
ty, but don't know. Now, I'm get
ting to Re rather an old man, butt
''Of course, you don't want to run?"
interrupted the other, with decided
twinkle in his eye.
"Well, now, / don't know. You see
my friends have been urging me so
much that thought perhaps"
"Well, that isn't right" again inter-
rupted the party leader "Tn just 90
and see your friends and tell them
they've got to put stop to thai" -

Parasol Ants.

OF the parasol ants at Trinidad, q
writer in the London Field says: In the
afternoon, after arriving at the island in
search of the cashew nuts and fruit,
found the path leading through the thick
forest in many places actually covered
with the cashews which had fallen from
the trees on either side. 1t is a delicious
fruit, sometimes of red and sometimes
of yellow color, with the kidney shap-
ed seed on the outside instead of the in
side, like other fruits. This latter is
roasted, and is esteemed delicacy by
many people, but if not carefully pre-
pared is apt to cause blisters on the lips.
We had no difficulty in filling our bas-
kets with as many cashews as we re-
quired, and were about returning to the
boat when one of Mr.. BIS sons. who
had been some little distance away from
US sauntering around in the brush, call
ed to me to come back, and on going to
where he was, he pointed to what SEEM
ed broad band Of moving leaves right
across the path, and on looking more
closely saw we had met with one of
those enormous swarms of the s'para-
sof' ants which are so destructive to
plantations IN tne tropics. 1hey were
crossing from one side of the wood to
the other, and were travelling in q col
umn of more than foot aud half in
width, and as each insect carried in its
mouth piece of leaf. which entirely
covered the body, they presented sim
gular appearance, like a Lilliputian
grove in motion. and although we
watched them for sometime, still they
came. their number seeming to be mex
haustible. Nothing can turn them from
their course, and although they may be
destroyed by thousands, enough will
swarm upon the intruder to made him
repent interfering with them. On the
mainland of South America have
known fruit tree stripped in > singla
night by swarm of these ants.

Women in Germany,

Everywhere on our way here we saw
women working beside men, the women
always doing the hardest part of the
labor. l have seen women with great
baskets upon their backs into which
men shoveled compost, and rested upon
their shovels while the woman, stagger-
ing under the terrible load, went long
way dozen times an hour and herself
emptied her basket. The most remark
able sight have seen lately was in Hol-
land. A woman, bent nearly to the
earth, walked the tow-path, pulling by
means OF strap across her breast a
heavy canal-boat in which sat two men
with folded arms, smoking. Women
and dogs harnessed together dragging
cart, in which is man, is no uncom-
mon sight, and sometimes the man lays
the whip over both woman and dog.
Being woman, l say every hour in
Germany, THANK God / was born in
Americar' and this | feel when l look
upon women of all ranks, from the
peasant to the wife of the officer, who
takes the husbands title, and seems to
have sometimes nogreater concern than
that other women, whose husbands rank
little lower, shall pay her the respect
due her.-NeaU York Tribune.

Beat Him.

Dan and Flasher were in the habit Of
trying their wits on each other.
Once they were discussing the rela-
tive merits of rifle vs.. bow and arrow.
~ can beat you even at short range"
said Flasher, boastingly.
TRY it. said Dan
They tried. Dan discharged an ar
row in pursuit of a hen that they saw In
a yard that they were passing, and
missed the hen.
Flasher, with shot of his rifle, killed
the hen.
There" he exclaimed, II told you
that could beat you.''
'.But l have beat Te,'' eoolly said
Dan,
How can that be? You missed the
hen, while killed hers
.'Still, have beat We, because you
must pay for the her, Yon killed
her."

An Autograph Album.

1t was our happy privilege. the other
day. to be in possession for brief perl
cd, of the autograph album of a young
lady acquaintance.
At her earnest solicitation we had
agreed to indite noble sentiment, or
something, upon beautifully tinted,
gilt edged page Of the handsome moroc-
CO bound volume, already nearly filled
with souvenirs of love and friendship.
Naturally enough we glanced at its
contents with view to gathering in
spiration for our own effort, and further
to acquire knowledge as to about what
would be the correct thing to say.
The first selection that met our gaze
struck US as being most excellent, it
read:
when this you see.
Remember me-
(Signed,) John Brown.
We could not help being little envi-
Gus that John Brown had been before
hand with us in thus tersely and forci-
bly,, yet with all SO easily and happily
discharging friendships obligation.
The contents of the next page con-
yinced that the writer was plagiarist;
he said:
when this you strike,
Remember Mike"
Then came an inspiration in feminine
chirography,
This page choose,
Remember Suse.'
Following this was the same idea, but
differing somewhat in phraseology:
Remember me js all ask
And il remembrance be task,
I'll try and make it all right with you,"
or words to that effect. There was q
good deal of lone little spot, forget me
not" in the book, but the preference
being decidedly in favor of the "When
this you see, remember me- idea, we
determined to follow the popular plan
and wrote,
"By all that's holy,
Remember Brignoi."

WHOLE NO. 1860.
Spelling Reform"

English spelling is, more than that OF
any other living language, beautiful
history, as it now stands, of the rise and
growth of the language itself. In our
apparently awkward assemblages OF
now silent consonants, in many of our
phonetically useless double letters, we
recognize the delicate threads by which
we can trace hosts of words back to
their origin; our spelling is, in itself, a
practical and living treatise ON etymolo-
gy. To know the meaning of word
thoroughly, one must know its deriva-
ton, its past history. Now, which is
the better-a spelling which can easily
be mastered by the veriest blockhead,
or one which epitomizes, as it were, the
whole meaning of word, its history.
its subtle affinities with parent tongues?
Our spelling is difficult, you say; well,
what of that? Most good things are
We no longer pronounce words as they
are spelled. The more shame to us!
Here lies the real and most grievous
fault in our language. We spell right
enough for the most part, but we pro-
nounce badly. The English-speaking
race has done its utmost to bedevil its
own language, by slip-shod habits of
pronunciation. But, because our spoken
tongue has unworthily drifted away
from its honorable beginnings, shall our
written language follow it, cut loose
from its fellowship with the other great
languages Of antiquity and modern
times, and so throw away the last trace
of its paternity? The man who first
stopped pronouncing the gh in daughter,
and began to sound the same couple of
consonants in laughter as if they were a
single +, did a most slovenly, lazy, and
utterly contemplate thing.
1t is wholly incomprehensible, to the
present writer, at least, how people can
point with admiration at such infantile
barbarisms as the Italian flosofd, fan
tasma, and the like. Such spelling is
spelling for ignoramuses and CONNER
cial travellers; it is written baby-talk.
So far from phonetic spelling of this
sort being a REFORM it is a down.
sliding into the vulgarest mediocrity.-
A true reform would be to reinstate
a worthily genealogical spelling wher-
ever time and carelessness have oblite-
rated it. To leave the meaningless sab
tie and return to the expressive subtle;
to put two ms into amount, so that its
derivation from ad and mons shall stare
readers in the face; to put two ts into
literature, as the French do, so that one
may be absolutely sure that the world
does not come from the past participle
of ltnere, to besmear. It may be said
that such chronological spelling is of ad-
vantage only to cultivated people, who
'.know Latin and Greek" as the phrase
goes. Admitted! But, in Heavens s
name, who are to govern language-the
educated or the uulgarp Is spelling
which speaks volumes to the educated
man, which is surprisingly rich in the
most pregnant associations, to be ousted
by a system which tells him nothing
whatever, and the only advantage Of
which is that foreigners and stupid
pumpkins can learn it in one year in
stead of sixp Is the mountain to 90 to

Marrying Under Difficulties.

In August 1874, says the San Francis.
CO Chronicle, after an extraordinary
journey overland with an OK team, John
Sullivan and his sister Mary arrived in
Yerba Bueua (now San Francisco), and
in two short months Michael Shereback,
a native of Denmark, had won the hand
of the brave girl, and they were ready
for marriage. On applying to the Span
ish priest at the mission, they were in
formed that they must reside in the
county one year before their marriage
would be permitted. Not willing to
wait nor willing to forego the usual GER
emony of civilization, they were in great
straits, till a British man-of-war dropped
anchor at Saueelito. Ferryboats did not
run every hour in those days, and in
their perplexity they applied to Captain
James Buddington, of New London,
Conn.,, just in from the north with a
ship-load of whale oil and bone, and a
boat was placed at their service, num-
Der Of sailors volunteering to pull them
over. They found chaplain on board
the man-of-war, who married them ac-
cording to the forms of the Church of
England, which gave them legal right
to the relation of husband and wife, but
as good Catholics they were not proper
ly married till year later, when the
mission priest remarked them according
to the ceremonial of the Catholic church.
The husband died some years ago, but
the widow, venerable lady past 60
years of age, still lives in this city, and
recently she received call from Capt.
Elihu Avery, master of the bark Legal
Tender, who has not met her since the
day of the marriage, thirty-eight years
ago. He was then sailor boy, about
IL years of age, and helped to row the
bridal party to the man-of-war and back
again. A bottle of champagne was
opened. and the health Of the lady duly
toasted by the gallant captain and q
party of friends, while the "reminiscences
Of the adventure were recalled with

When he led his bride to happy home
Ger the sill Of the old front door.

And eighty years old was he,
And well L know that never again
He would ride me upon his knee;
And though but gay and thoughtless boy,
wept and my heart was sore,
When saw them bearing him slowly out
Ger the sill Of the old front door.

And too am old and gray;
