A Business spell.

Two or three years ago there lived in
the lower oil country q prominent oil
producer, who was VIGOROUSLY bad
speller. In letter, among other errros,
he spelled water with two is. A party
of gentlemen were discussing this pecu-
liarity in the bar-room of the Collins
house, Oil City, one evening, when the
poor speller himself CHANGED to come
along.
Hello said one of the party, COR
pulent gentleman, I'VE were just talking
about YOU

were you saying?"
"Why, some of the boys claimed that
you are the worst speller in seventeen
States"
They do? think I can spell it
about IS we'll IS the average producer"
"Ill tell what I'll do with yol," said
the first speaker. I'm bet the cham
payne for the party that you can't spell
water"
"All right" replied the producer. and
he proceeded to spell the word, Wa

"Thats the way 1 spell water for
money" he quietly remarked. but
when I spell il for fun. I sometimes use
twot's."

wine and the silence became SO great thst

The people of the north of Norway,
however, are in despair over the strange
mortality among the gulls and other sea-
birds which usually resort to their coasts
in the summer, and constitute, by their
egga, which form Q staple Of the food OF
the persantry, and their source OF feath-
ere which form . staple Of their trade,
one Of their most valuable sources of
food aud prosperity. On the coast OF
Finmark and Northlsnd, all these birds,
and among them the highly priced elder
duck, take mp their summer quarters in
numbers 70 vast that the rocks and ciifis
are literally covered with their eggs, 30
that one cannot walk without crushing
them; and the people OF the region, in
their desire TO retain the favors OF their
geese with the golden eggs" send back
to inland pastures, all the sheep, dogs,
shepherds, during the pairing time Of
the birds, in order that nothing may
iniure or trouble their precious visitors.
At the proper time the fishermen come
~ it'll their boats and carry away whole
boat loads Of these eggs, which they sell
to the Norwegian, who prize them
highly - an article Of food. The feather
and down ere also collected ct the proper
moment. But this year tho collectors
report great diminution in the number
Of nests and eggs. II il now supposed
that large numbers Of the birds
perished in the violent and protracted
storms Of last winter. and that some
years must elapse before these feathery
visisors can reach their former numbers:

II was this locality that suffered most
from the ravages of the Hessian fly IN
1877. One correspondent in Branch
county states that "quite a number OF
farmers are now cutting their wheat foi
fodder" In the northern counties IN
sects are doing the most damage IN
Crawford, Grand Traverse and Kalkas-
| ka.
According to the estimates only about
3 per cent. of the old crop Of wheat yet
remains in farmers hands. The small
and constantly. diminishing crop OF
wheat marketed, although reasonably
fair price is offered, itself indicates that
the old crop is nearly or quite ex-
hausted. E
The condition of corn is 81 per cent. +, Of
oats 103 per cent, barley 100 per cent. +,
clover meadows aud pastures 81 per
cent, timothy meadows and pastures

Apples now promise 81 per cent of an
average crop, as against 1l3 per cent. on
the first OF June. Reports from all
parts of the State show that the apples
are falling from the trees in large guam
titles.
Peaches promise four fifths.of an aver
age crop, or about the same as on
June /.
Reports have been received OF the
quantity of wheat marketed bv farmers
during the month of June at 29S eleva
tors and mills. OF these $40 are in the
southern four tiers OF COUNT g, which is
one half of the whole number of eleva-
tors and mills in these counties. The
total number of bushels reported mark
eted is 4l9, 9lS, of which l29, $40 bushels
were marketed in the first or southern
tier of counties. 1900 bushels in the
second tier, 49, 72 bushels in the third
tier, 81, 426 bushels in the fourth tier.
II, 534 bushels in the counties north of
the southern four tiers. At sixty-three
elevators and mills. or 81 per cent. of the
whole number from which reports have
been received, there was no wheat mark
eted during the month. At go eleva-

marketed was ;511 bushels, which is
60 per cent. of the quantity marketed at

The old gentleman was very honest
about it.
"a hundred thousand dollars" said
he, speaking with q funny German
brogue, els too much money. We
haven't got any OF that sort. You'd
better come down in your ideas little
bit"
whats the very best you can do"
"Well, we have an old German widow
who saws she is worth $50 900. but she
is awful cross and ugly. I'm afraid you
wouldn't like her."
"Never mind about that. Has she
really got $50, OOO?"
This conversation took place in the
rear apartment of barely furnished,
empty-looking first floor in a side
street, between the Bowery and Broad
way.
Eyes but we always require cash
payment OF $40 in advance before we go
into the affair"
"And in case OF marriage?"
"We'd expect percentage on the
amount You get-say one and half to
per cent"
docs this business pay?"
In Europe, splendidly. There are
fifty bureaus Of this character in Berlin.
In London the principal firm in the
business has made fl0O, 900 out of it."
"What is the condition of the matri-
monial market just now?"
"Very good, indeed. We've got a
rich Californian who wants To marry a
poor girl without money. We have a
clergyman who says he won't take one OF
oh, In
come to us to supply his need Of wife.
Oh, there are such cases."
But these are exceptions ?"
"Of course most men want money;
lots of money"
And the women"
"They are not 80 particular about it
they are generally more anxious about
getting married than about the money.
Money or no money, they all want to get
husbands"
docs the prevailing taste among
the men run toward the brunettes or
blondes ?"
Brunettes, I should say, decidedly.
Most of our gentlemen consider blondes
insipid."
"And the taste among women?"
oh, they are not so fanciful about
beauty as the men are. All they want
is good husband and just enough cash
to keep them nicely"
"Where do you arrange for meet
ing?"
Either here before or after Office
hours, or outside, if the interested par
ties prefer.

Nothing Had Happened.

One of those good, oid-fashioned wom-
en- who were in style thirty years ago
bought paper as she boarded Mich
igan avenue car, and she had no sooner
taken her seat than she put on pair OF
assbewed spectacles, RECALLED her nose
with pinch of snuff and observed to
herself
81 guess I'll read up and see who's
dead and what's happened.
Sitting back in her seat she turned the
paper over and read aloud:
The London Lancet says that mus
carine, the active poison of mushrooms,
is directly antagonized by atropia.'
That's kind O. Gurus, but I suppose it's
SO. Let's see what else can find"
She looked up and down the column
for a moment, and then started off with:

trousseaux, but they are nothing COM

house, but the elder fell sick and had to
pay out $40 for doctor bill. Lemme

She turned the paper clear over, read
justed her spectacles, and read:

of saving q murderers head off with
hot wire, electrically heated. 1t is not
an entirely new invention, however
Dear me but what won't they invent

claim to be best. They have been tried
and found wanting, while this mas been
proved to be remarkable success.
That's just what 1 say We can't be

myself that lmpostors are thick as fleas.
Ho hum II guess nothing has hap
pened, or else they forgot to put it in
the paper, or the editor has gone away,
or his poor wife is sick"
So saying, she carefully folded the
paper, put it in her pocket, and, looking
across the aisle at man who was fam

out
