4 Texans New York Adventure.

Mr.. Henry c. Ghent, of Texas, who
has been staying at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel for days, he amuses himself by
wandering about the city and watching
the people pass along the crowded thor.
oughfares. While watching the shifting
crowd on Broadway last Wednesday he
was accosted by a welldressed young
man, who said "How do you do, Mr..
Morgan ?" "My name is not Morgan"
said Mr. Ghent, 81 am Mr.. Ghent of
Texas IL beg your pardon l trust
you will forgive me for my my stupidity.
Good day, sir" A few minute afterwards
another young man approached Mr.
Ghent and said: "Can be mistaken !?
Is not this Mr.. Client of Texas ?"
eyes, sir, but don't know you ;"
said Mr. Ghent.
You don't know me! Why think a
moment; I'm nephew of Senator
Maxey."
This was sufficient introduction and
Mr. Client joined the nephew in walk
and finally was induced to visit Brook
lyn with him. In the course of the eve.
ming Mr.. Ghent lost some in confidence
game, but it did not occur to him that
he had been swindled until after he had
returned TO New York. His new ac.
quaintance evaded a discussion of the
subject when Mr.. Ghent mentioned his
suspicious and left him as quickly as pos.
sible. Mr.. Ghent then consulted the
police, who yesterday caused the arrest
of Frank Hammond, who was identified
by Mr.. Ghent as his companion of the
evening before. Hammond was com.
mitted at Jefferson Market.

"LIBERALIsM AT THE SOUTH" makes
queer bedfellows. Even as in Virginia
the Republicans depend upon Malone,
whom President Grant would have liked
to shoot in 1876 for bulldozing the ne.
groes for victory in their grand cam.
paign for "equal rights !" and even as in
Mississippi they approve the "hero of
the Fort Pillow massacre;" and even as
in Louisiana, Ackled is their apostle !;
and even as in Alabama the "brawling
duellist" and "crazy Greenbackers,
Lowe, is their hope-so in North Caro-

HUMOROUS.

PATRIOTISM: Monselet and Jundt were
dining at table d'hote in Switzerland 8
few years ago. Before them sat party
of hated Teutons, who were served with
a splendid mountain trout, while they
merely got stale pasty. The two
Frenchmen gazed anxiously at the fish,
while their Vis-a-vis as gloatlngly eyed
the pasty. A happy idea suddenly
flashed across Jundt. Cutting the pie
in two he set to work upon his share
and devoured it, utteriug the while loud
encomiums upon its composition, flavor,
etc. Passing the second half to Mon.
selet he said to the latter, sotto-voce,
"eat it." "But it is o month old, ob.
jected Monselet. "Never mind; don't
you see the Prussians are dying for it.
Eat it--out of patriotism" Monselet
no longer hesitated, and swallowed the
unsavory food with every appearance OF
relish.

Mr.. JaJIochkofS electric candle, al
though very ingenious, must be still fur
ther improved before it can come into
general use. Mr.. 1ehipaleff says that in
order to give the best result, that kind OF
candle requires magnetic electric machines
with a changeable current, and they are
much more expensive than the machine
with constant current. A candle OLE
metre long will burn 80 minutes, giving a
light equal to 25) normal candles, and costs
30 centlmes, so that light of 1000 can
dies costs francs an hour, besides the
expense OF working the machine. The
cost of lighting the Palais d'lndustrle in
Paris hV JabIochkoff's candles would be
about 0,0O0 francs instead Of 80, 900, the
cost OF the ordinary regulator arrangement

one OF the most remarkable applications
Of photography is that by which 1t is now
made TO register, and In the most accurate
manner, the mechanical motion OF the
heart. The device by which this result is
attained is indeed triumph of inventive
skill. 1t consists OF thin India. rubber
bag, to which short glass tube is attach
ed; sufficient mercury is poured into the
apparatus TO tlll the bag and portion OF
the tube, and the instrument is then placed
over the heart of the person to be exam
med. Arranged IN this manner, every
pulsatiou of the heart is Indicated by u
corresponding movement of The mercury
of the tube, and, by suitable Photographic
apparatus, provided with moving sensi-
tive alp OF paper, a perfect registration Of
the extent and rate Of the pulsatioH is OBJ
tained. Tue Interesting flct is made
known by this process that the fall of the
pulse sometimes takes place IN successive
horizontal lines, the column reascending
TWO or three times before falling altogether.

A NALuABLE CROP FOR SHRRP.-In En-
gland rape is considered a most valuable
crop for sheep-keep, yielding the earliest
autumn teed. 1t Is a crop especially adap-
ted to fen and peasy soils full OF vegetable
mould. Well manured and cultivated on
the fat, in rows fifteen inches or therea-
bouts apart, it yields in its leaf and succu-
lent stem large nutriuve produce. Among
English farmers, after the land has been
mannrcd and cultivated during the spring
months, four or five pounds of seed are
sown with some 800 or 400 pounds of su-
perphosphate III June for the MALI crop,
though any time after April Gin England)
it may be we'll to SOW portions in order to
have q succession of food available for
sheep from August onward. The rows
are hoed out as turnIps ale, but with q
narrower hoe and without any special at
tempt to single the plants. The intervals
between the rows should be horse ald
hand hoed. 1t is ready for the stock ii
about three months after sowing. English
farmers frequently manage to have an ear
ly piece of rape to give sheep between
grazing and the turnlp feed. Rape is also
cultivated in Great Britain to some extent
on rich alluvlal coils for seed. Sown late,
as in July or August, it is cultivated as
when intended for sheep food, but thinued
out more severely in hoeing. 1t blooms
IN early spring, and is ripe AID ready to
cut in July, when 1t Is tied in sheaves to
dry, and threshed on q sheet in the field,
yielding thirty bushels and sometimes
more OF seed per acre.
