How to Make a Man Mad.

There never have been more than
three men who have cared snap what
the papers said about them. We recall
to mind New Hampshire man who
said he hadn't the least interest in any
thing of the sort And when he heard
that a certain weekly had spoken of him
as prominent citizen, he drove seven
teen miles in pouring rain and over
a muddy road to get copy Of that
paper, because he wanted &. see the
market reports in IL, We have had that
little transaction in mind for some time,
and il suggested to us racket which
we have worked with great success. We
select as a victim some man, ambitions
of fame but who never has had the priv
ilege of gazing upon his name in print
more than two or three times in his life.
We go to him and say: "Did you SEQ
that item about you in the paper the
other day. Great skid, wasn't it p I'M
mediately his face lights up. He is all
interest. There is an eager look in his
eye. mo-" he says, IT didn't see it
Didn't know of it'll When was it2 What
paper was it in I? What did il say2'
And we reply: "Ohl hold onl One
question at time" 'Well, what
paper was it in? ?" he asks. He is
breathlessly eager for an answer. The
reply, deliberately: What paper
Well, we don't exactly remember.
Think it was one of the city papers, but
wouldn't be certain. It may have been
a suburban paper. Possibly it was q
Western exchange" He looks gloomy,
but hope springs eternal in the
human breast. You think it was
city paperT he asks. Yes"
"How long ago did it appear? o. Don't
know exactly. Saw it only two or three
days ago, but it might have been an old
paper" " Well, what did it sayT he
asks, in desperation. sOh, it was a very
pleasant little item Eyes, but what
did it say p "Oh, we don't remember
what it said. Just remember seeing it. !"
"Why didn't you save it for me2'
"Why, thought OF course you'd see
it," "Well, I'll go and look over the
files of the city papers and see If | can
find it. Dear boy" we say, ''youn
find it much easier to find needle in
bundle of hay. Think of the inter
minabIe task of examining the files
of seven or eight daily papsrs for
month back" The utter hopeless
ness of his ever seeing that
paragraph dawns upon him. His face
assumes a look Of abject misery, de-
spair and baffled curiosity. When we
meet him three days later he is just get
ting over the feeling of gloom and set
ting down to solid hatred of us for
not saving the item for him. Boston

bility Of his misappropriating the
undue amount, as very little personal
knowledge Of him was possessed by the
firm, was duly discussed. What was
said on this point brought bushes to
my own cheeks.
In course Of time my senior account
ant was taken into the firm. / was put
in his position, and with his salary I
saved money, finally got into business
on my own account, and am now, as you
know, rich. I never forgot my former
host and his grandchild; but at the
death of the former took charge of the
boy. He is now my partner and the
husband of my daughter.

"Do you know or have you ever
heard why it is that negro women
drink vinegar ?" asked a gentleman Of
Times reporter one day last week.
The scribe professed the profoundest
ignorance in regard to the matter,
but he Immediately set TO work to find
an answer to the question. In the first
place he inquired OF several negro
women if they ever drank vinegar
Yes" said one, "I drink it ali the
time, especially when I am ironing,
and the women in our yard drink it,
too"
"Does it do you any goodT
Eyes; it is cheaper than whisky, ard
il keeps up a person wonderfully. I
don't know why / began it-because
the others did, reckon. 1t hurt me
at first, made me feel sick at the
stomach, but when got over this feel
ing I felt good deal better. It's
especially good after smoking a pipe,
and leaves kind of cooling feeling be-
hind"
"How much OF it do you take at q
dose ?"
"About two tablespoonfuls. The first
dose l took was about teaspoonful,
but / know some ladies who take as
much as quarter of teacupfuj, II /
took that much it would make sick"
"How did the habit first n2'
Some of the ladies used Jake it,
when feeling badly, and it didVthem so
much good that others followed the
example. The men folks can't drink
vinegar, and don't like the women folks
to take it, but they do it though.'
The reporter subsequently saw an
uptown lady who is at the head OF
large boarding'hous In answer to
questions propounded to her, she said;
"Oh, yes, I have had number OF col
ored women in my employ who were
great vinegar drinkers. The way
found it ali out was in tais way; ] had
washer and ironer who ate very little
always kept bottle of vinegar IN my
kitchen where | could get it easily,
! One day went to take it from the shelf
and found that the bottle was nearly
empty. / was not annoyed at this, al
though little bit surprised, but con-
cluded to keep the vinegar under lock
and KEY. The next day the servant
came TO me aud asked for alittle vinegar.
/ asked her what she wanted It for and
she answered, "to drink" She then told
me that she always drank it, and that
it did her a power of good. have no
ticed that those women who are the
reatest whisky drinkers, are also the
greatest vinegar drinkers. "-Nc'o "

The Great Peach Crop.

A phenomenal year in the yield q peaches

which passed over the Delaware Railroad that
year, IN one day, was All, on the 9th Of An-

market over the Delaware Railroad alone.
This immense number did nos represent more
than one-half the crop from the Peninsula.

Of the Peninsula, the grand aggregate Of s.

rush Of that year, for growers 10 open returns

instead Of q bank cheek for profits. In Bal
timore peaches were sometimes dumped into
the docks. and the empties returned. During
the height Of the glut many growers in disgust
fed their peaches TO the hogs, or allowed them
to rot on the trees. The transportation com
panies were the only parties that got mnch

place much more rapidly than barter and
exchange in the ordinary mercantile branch
Is, bus these must not be neglected, because
they are important links in the chain Of gen.
erai prosperity. The only difficulty is that
too much capital IS employed, as general
thing, in this branch OF business. Manufac-
lures should be more thoroughly developed
than they are. The production Of pig iron, il
seems to as, might become q profitable basi.

was one Of the productions Of this region in
the days before the revolution, and if with the
rude appliances OF that remote period pig
iron cotild be produced with profit, with
greater facilities and greater profit the bust
ness might be resumed here now. Ore is
abundant, and has been transported from
here BY rail, for years past. Could il not be
made into pig and be transported with more

An Alleged srindIo.

Some few months ago a man calling HIM
self Samuel d. Miller appeared in Manches-
ter, and remained there and in that neighbour
hood for month or more. He became ac-
duainted with number of farmers, and con-
tracred to purchase walnut logs of some of
them. The contract was put in writing and
signed by the farmers On June 18th Miller
came to this city with Cornelius WentZ, and
was introduced to John +. Denison, bill
broker. He told Mr.. Denison that he had
some important business with him, and asked
if he could have an interview with him in half
an hour. Upon being informed he could,
Miller went to Mr.. Denison's office at the
West End about the appointed time. He
first desired to sell some Bachman Valley
railroad stock. In the conversation that en-
sued Miller showed himself very familiar with
the country and with the people of the section
around Melrose, and was well posted. He
did not press the sale of the railroad stock.
Mr.. Denison had no desire to buy. and not
very much was said on the subject. In course
of the interview Miller produced and sold to
Mr.. Denison note of Phanuel Wantz for
So, 600 Philip Yost's for $1,000, Reuben
Schaeffers for So, 600 and Peter Gettier's for
S2000-in all $4,000. A note of Ferdinand
Peterman, for 81 500, was also offered for
sale, but Mr.. Denison did not buy it. These

days and made payable to Samuel d. Miller.
After getting the money on them Miller de-
parted, and Mr. Denison has not heard of
him since.
Mr.. Denison spoke of his transaction and
it soon became known abroad. Being up at
Mr. Conelius VENTS last week. he and Mr..
Wentz around to see the drawers of the notes,
and Mr.. Denison was informed that they were
not genuine.
On Monday last those against whom the
notes are held came to this city, took legal
advice and resolved TO resist payment. Mr..
Denison has also engaged counsel, and an in
teresting law suit is probable. The notes are
not due until July Goth, inst.
If the notes be forgeries, as alleged, the
signatures must have been obtained under the
pretenee of having contract signed for the
sale of walnut logs, all of those against whom
notes are held having signed what they thought
were such contracts.
Miller is represented as about 5 feet G in
