A Yankee Captain Outwitted,

Capt. Farrow of Islesboro tells good story of himself which occurred few years ago while he was trading at Key West. It was case where Northern Yankee was outwitted by Southerner. The Captain was trading in small vessel, and had been up the coast to Tampa Bay, where he purchased twenty dozen chickens, paying $4 per dozen. The chickens ran all the way in size from few days old to full-grown ones. At Key West hotel landlord came alongside and asked the Captain how he sold his chickens. The Captain re- piled: eff you pick them out shall charge you $6 per dozen If you let me pick them out you can have them at $3 per dozen" "All right" said the hotel man, "you pick them out" The Cap- tain selected several dozen of the smallest, when the man said: "Go ahead, I want more." The Captain was now among his largest fowls, and wished the man would stop, but he still said: "Go on." The Captain saw the point at last. The man kept him select ing until he purchased the entire lot al 8 loss of $2O to the owner. After this the Captain sold his chickens on different plan.

Society Note.

A coolness, growing out of the follow ing conversation, has sprung up be- tween Gilhooly and his friend, Gus De Smith:
 sI had splendid time last night" said Gus. CT spent the evening at c little social gathering at the Goodman mansion"
 "Are the Goodmans nice people?" queried Gilhooly.
 "Well, I should say so. They are very aristocratic. To get in their circle one must have either 8 great deal of money or a great deal of genius"
 "You don't tell me so-snd you say you were there?"
 "Yes."
 "You were invited, were you?"
 "Of course." "And to be invited man has to have great deal of money or plenty ot genius ?" "Precisely."
 "Wen, Gus, am very glad to hear vou have become rich all of e sudden. Lend .ae five dollars ?"-- 7eTGs Slftissgs.

Rough on Sam.

Sam Rideout is an Austin clerk. He is personally not very attractive, and his morals are of very inferior quality. One of Sam's peculiarities IS to use mer- oantile terms and expressions, no mat ter what subject is being discussed. He and few friends were talking about clergymen and doctors, the other day, and one of them asked Sam who his family doctor was.
 cor. Dosem supplies us with all we need in the physical department, and Parson Soothem furnishes us full line of piety goods" said Sam.
 "Look here, Sam," remarked Gill hooly, eff Dr. Dosem is responsible for your looks, and Parson Soothem fur nished you with your morals, all I've got to say is, that they have showed a lot of secondhand goods off on you, and they badly damaged besides. You ought to deal, from now on, with first class houses. You have been swindled outrageously. To look at you, one would suppose your good looks and manners were of home manufacture.

the fee usually charged by ministers for performing the marriage ceremony was altogether too high. One clergy man had said that as long as nails and bar. iron continued firm he should hold to his scale. Another charged BIO be- cause oil of vitrol had advanced. Another would not cut his prices until Greeley hat could be bought for adol- lar. The committee would recommend that no colored man fork over more than one dollar as marriage fee, and pay half of that in whitewashing the back fence, if possible.
 ACCEPTED.
 The Secretary then announced in 8 tremulous voice that an invitation had been received by the club to attend the comedy drama of "Brother Gardner and His Lime-Kiln Club" to be given at the Detroit opera House on the 21st, 22d and 23d. and appear on the stage in the second act. Pickles Smith SUD- ported the motion, in case there was any motion. If not, he would support any movement to get into the Opera House on the dead-head plan.
 The Rev. Penstock objected. From his standpoint of morality the stage was calculated to debase. He once lost 8 wallet containing $64 in public hall, and had never heard who found it. Trustee Pallback, Shutdown Smith and others favored the idea, and the President finally arose and said:
 "Gem'lem, dis club accepts de in- vitashun, an we shall be seen at dat place at de proper time. Sich of you as fink you will be debased kin remain at home an lick de chiil'en an jaw de ole woman bout de size of her feet. We will now disqualify de meetin'. Remem- Der, as we percolate homewards, dat while pusson may have voice like a tornady an mouth like woodshed, de man who winks wid his left eye allus gets de bes' glass of sodywater. Let the triangle sound and de Glee Clut sing"

Making a Passenger "Git."

A justice of the peace in the interior of Michigan had case be fore h1m some days ago in which the defendant, who had been arrested as suspicious char acter, and plead guilty to vagrancy. was sent to the Detroit House of Correction for six months. A constable took him in charge to deliver him there, and as the man seemed rather pleased at the idea of securing board and lodgings for six months he was not handcuffed. As the train was about ready to go the constable moved across the aisle to talk politics with friend, and pretty soon they were having it hot and heavy. When the conductor came in for tickets he held out hls hand to the prisoner, and the latter shook his head and re- piled ...
 CT don't pay fare."
 "Ahal You don't, eh?" We'll, now, you pay or git."
 CT won't pay"
 "Then you'll git. When we slow up at the crossing you jump of. If I find you on the train after we pass there I'll give you a bounce that you won't for. get"
 In two minutes the train began tc slow, and the prisoner walked to the door and picked a soft spot and dropped of. When the train had made another mile the conductor held out his hand to the constable and received two tickets
 "Who is this extra one for ?"
 "For that prisoner over there"
 "What prisoner ?"
 "Why, that fel--l"
 Then there was raving and gnashine of teeth and hurrying up and down, bu it was no use.
 "Sorry," said the conductor, as h' I passed along, but when passenger says he won't pay fare on my train just give him the drop. The only thing that surprised me was to see how vii lingly he obeyed orders. "-Detroit Fres | v

How He Opened the Door.

The pole of heavy freight-wagon was forced against the door of Broad way, N. r., stage few days ago in such 8 manner as to prevent the doors being opened in either direction. As no one was injured by the accident the stage continued its trip taward Fulton Ferry until German, whose abdominal capacity prevented him from making an exit through window, expressed de- sire to get out. He walked to the door and tugged away at 1t until he became very red in the face; but the door did not move. Stepping forward to the front of the stage. he commanded the driver to get down and open the door.
 "Can't do it, said the man, as he clucked to his horses and gave them the rein.
 "Den I will stave in dot door," gasped the German, as he mopped the great beads of sweat from his heated brow.
 ''Stave away. I don't care," replied the immovabIe driver.
 The fat man waddled to the door and delivered a kick which would have done credit to pile driver, but it did not open the door. After repeated efforts of this kind he adopted a new plan. Grasping the rail in the top of the stage, he planted both feet against the door with terrible force. The passen- gers laughed heartily as be swung him self to and fro like a battering ram. The timbers of the stage began to creak like those of ship at sea. Suddenly the door flew open and the German with outstretched limbs, shot out upon the pavement as if he had been fired from cannon. With mingled look of pain and triumph upon his face he picked himself up, and was soon lost to view in lager beer shop. lf

Old Miracle Plays.

For months before the performance of miracle play the preparations for it commenced, and furnished matter of comment and discussion over a large area. Some of the solemnities were so costly that the municipality which charged itself with the chief burden of the representation found itself embar- rassed for many subsequent years. The effects, meanwhile, were occasionally such as modern scene painter or ma- chinest scarcely understands. In rep resentation of the 'Mystery of the Acts of the Apostles" commenced at Bourges on the 3Oth of April, 1886, we find, in full daylight, the face of St. Etienne "burning for moment like the sun. " A mechanical dromedary and camel are introduced. A lion, also mechanical, tears off the hand of a pagan. A vessel charged with all manner of animals de- scends from heaven to earth, and is drawn up again an owl lights on the head of Herod Agrippa, serpent creeps along the ground, devil issues from the body of a person possessed, two marvellous dragons cast fire from eyes, jaws, ears and nostrils another, "the most horrible that can be conceived crouches at the feet of St. Michael. In place of St. Barnabas there is put in the fire an imitation body full of bones and viscera. Scores of similar effects are presented in this one piece. With. out enumerating these, l will supply the literal directions for one scene. For the representation there is required high tower Son which Simon Magus shall mount in order to take flight. Then should come movable cloud, which should elevate him in the air. The cloud should then disappear and leave the body exposed. At the prayer of St.
 Peter the body should fall to the ground
 breaking it's head and legs" In the same scene, if such it may be called
 St. Pol is decapitated. His head should then make three successive bounds, anG from each spot at which it falls foun
 tain of blood, milk, or water should spring. To produce some of thes' effects would puzzle modern manage ment.-The Ge,atlena0n's Mag0sine.

An Enterprising Japanese Student.
INvINCIBLE AT THE BAsE-BALL BAT AND FILLING sKIFF WITH FISH WITHOUT USING LINE OR HOOK.

Among the boarders in one of the houses at Bath, l.. l., is 8 Japanese student. He is neat, bright, good natured young man, and appears anxious to learn the ways of Americans.
 Some of the other boarders have been playing tricks on the Japanese student. Not long ago they got up game of baseball. They kept the ''Jap," as they call him, at the bat. by refusing or pur-. posely failing to catch him out, and he ran around the bases all the afternoon. Next day the muscles of his legs were so sore he had to remain in bed. When he reappeared he climbed up tree to look at young owls in nest and dis covered rotten apples.
 The next morning the "Jap" while out rowing came across multitude of fish of all sizes and varieties foundering in the water. They showed their fins and appeared to keep within certain space. The "Jap" thought he had struck fish bonanza and he resolved to keep his ssfind" a secret. That afternoon number of the boarders were walking along the shore talking about fishing. The clap" said that it was cruel and unfair to catch fish with hook, line and bait. "In Japan we catch them with our hands," he exclaimed in good En- glish. All his hearers, with the excep- tion of one, were astonished; this one said that he had read about apanese diving into the water and chasing and catching fish just as fish-hawks do. 'I will show you," ejaculated the "Jap. Chow to catch fish without hooks" and he got into boat and rowed out about 200 yards. He pitched the anchor over and pulled off his coat, vest and shirt. He was next seen to lie down in the boat while he peeped carefully over the sides. Every now and then he would plunge his right hand into the water and would haul up fish. 'sLook at him." yelled one of the party, Che is catching fish with his hands, by thun- der !'
 That evening the boarders were on the balcony of the house listening te versions of the fishing exploit, when the path gate was violently swung open and big Irishman in blue shirt swag gered up and wanted to know who had been robbing his fish pound. 'Do you suppose" he yelled, ''that catch fist and put them in pound to furnish thil
 ere shebang withp If you New York CTS want fresh fish go and catch 'em ol else pay for 'em. Who robbed my pound, that's what I'm after knowin' ? The s'Jap" was pointed out, and h' paid for his spells very meekly. "Yor see," explained one of the boarders, "h' didn't know the fish were yours-ht
 thought he found nest of them"

Raising and Keeping Roots.

In the climate of the Middle States beets, ,turnips and even potatoes are stored on open ground by laying them in rows three to five feet wide or so, piling them equally high. A ditch is then dug all around this pile foot or more deep, and wide enough to cover this heap six to twelve inches thick with the dirt taken from if, or even more, in a very severe climate. This ditch draws off all moisture from settling at the bot tom of the beets, and keeps the ground dry. Every six feet or so on top of the row of beets open holes three to four inches in diameter, and into these stuff wisps of straw. These keep rain and snow out and ventilate the roots well, which is essential to prevent their rot ting during winter. Perhaps when put under shed it might be necessary to cover the beets few inches thick with straw or coarse hay to prevent them from freezing, even with sprinklirg g of dlrt.
 Roots designed to be wintered should not be planted earlier than to have them full-grown by the time frost sets in. If they mature before this they begin to dry up and lose their sweetness. If left in the ground after rather hard frost, this also injures them. They should consequently be harvested just before this. When the roots fully mature and are ready to be pulled, the leaves begin to decay and turn yellow. Turnips may be sown in autumn in a mild climate and will grow there all winter. But this root is not suitable for COWS, as it injures the flavor of the milk, cream and butter, notwithstanding all prescrip- tions given to prevent this, or feeding just after milking, as some say, and others before milking. In no case have I been able to keep the turnip taste out of the milk. Other stock may be profit ably fed moderate amount of turnips morning and night. In doing this be careful to slice tn em thin before feed. ing, so as to prevent the cattle from getting choked by swallowing whole one or coarse pieces broken up in their mouth by taking in large one to mas
 ticate. Have you ever tried, sowed thickly in drills three feet apart or SO

= speaking not 8 word, but glover

A speaking not word, but gloWer- ing into the fire.
 Next morning we were to make an early start. Before the fall-in bugle sounded the little bustling landlady had communicated to us all sorts of rumors concerning the terrible event that had taken place the night before. Clearly the tragic story was all over the whole town by this time, but the only coherent upshot of the matter we could extract was that the poor lady down at the Hall had gone up to her bedroom immedi- ately after dinner, and then and there taken poison-that they found her stretched on the floor quite dead, the face turned to one side, as if averted from something, and with an awfully fearsome look upon it.
 It may be imagined was anything but sorry when I and my men mounted the steep hill overlooking Moynetown, on the road to our next billets, with our backs turned upon the scene of this ghastly and mysterious business.
 I never heard of the M--family again, nor did ever visit Moynetown. I believe there was an inquest, and a verdict of temporary insanity. A few months afterward chanced te see some thing in local newspaper about Innish- derry Hall being to let; and ''that dread full affair down in County" was talked of for while in Dublin in cer- tain circle of society. As for A, he, too, passed out of my observation very soon after, as he applied for leave and got an exchange. He never told me more than what have told the reader, and never again spoke to me on the subject.
 I suppose some would maintain that A--was gifted with what in Scotland is called ''second sight" Be that as il may, the mystery of how or why ''the devil stood behind" that singularly beautiful aud fascinating woman-ar acquaintance of an evening only-will I suspect, never be cleared up.-Blac6 aVood's Magazine.

 their hearts content. There was a heart-breaking time for couple of min utes, and when order was restored the routine business was continued by call for reports.
 THE WEATHER.
 The Committee on the Weather, through their Chairman, Shinbone Scott, submitted report in which they ad- mitted that the weather for the last few weeks had defied all control. One of the committee thought that the spots on the sun had something to do with it. Another argued that the earth was grad. ually tipping up on one side, while the Chairman was inclined to believe that the 25O bushels of onions stored in one warehouse in Detroit occasioned much of the tribulation.
 The committee were ordered to pre- dict fine, dry weather for September, and cautioned that if they made any more failures they would de discharged from any further meteorological work.
 MATRIMONIAL.
 The Committee on Internal Economy reported slight decline in the price of watermelons, but advised all purchasers to insist on having melons plugged &C., cording to Hoyle before paying over any cash. They further reported that
