A Cape Cod Sketch.

In the rear of Town Hill, at Province. town, Mass, on the seaward slope of the sand dunes, is the most pathetic burial place that mans necessity ever created. The sea sand drifts among the tombs, tufts of beach-grass takes the place of turf, and the murmur of the sea is never absent from it. The few flowers that bloom upon the graves are planted in soil brought from the marshes, and are kept alive by frequent watering. Per- haps one- third of the sleepers here were victims of the sea. Some were in the navy, some in whale-ships, others in the merchant marine but the great major ity were fishermen who had ventured out in their slender craft on the storm lest of seas. An old resident approached as was reading an inscription on 8 messy tombstone in memory of an old sea captain and his two sons, "lost at sea September 16, 1S46." "Poor fel- lows," ssid my friend, "I knew them well. It was to have been the captains last voyage, for he had snug home on shore and an excellent wife to share it. The elder son was fine young fellow of 22, who expected to take command of the ship on her next voyage the younger a lad of 16 They sailed on the brig Rienzi on 8 whaling voyage, and were returning full loaded, when, almost in sight of our barbor, sudden squall struck the vessel, ,and, being lit- tie. top-heavy, she careened in an instant and went down with all on board. The bodies of the captain and several of the crew were washed up on shore few days after. The captains funeral ser mon, I remember, was preached by the orthodox. minister, from the text, "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved "; and he handled his subject after the manner of ortho- dox ministers forty years ago. But you never see poor creature take on so as the captains wife did. Husband and sons-an she had-taken at a stroke, and no hope of meeting them il. the next world either, for she was pro- lessor and they wasn't. She didn't say anything, didn't even shed tear but just grew thinner and paler, until in three months time we laid her away be. side Der husband ''

the highest figure the club would pay for any sort of 8 lecture not followed by a grand display of fireworks. The President then arose and said he had received letter from Staunton, Va., signed by three leading citizens, preferring charges and furnishing proofs against Brother Blue Jeans Woods. The charges were:
 1. Walking fourteen miles to see 8 circus while his wife lay at the point of death.
 2. Trying to get drunk on a bottle of hair-dye found in the road.
 3. Placing burrs under the saddle of his mule.
 Proofs were forwarded to sustain every charge, and the Secretary was in- structed to cross the brothers name from the books and notify him by letter that if he attempted to beat his way into county fair on the ground that he be- longed to the Lime-K Kiln Club his. ex- pulsion would be advertised in the newspapers.

The Fastest TrOtting.

Says the Spirit of the 7Snaes:-We presume our readers have all heard of that very private trial, in the year 1870, when Mace drove Lady Thorne ghostly mile in the gray of the morning, and only two others, John l.. Doty and Will liam H. Saunders, timed the mare. In regard to this trial, her driver said: II never saw Lady Thorne trot full mile at her best but once, and there are two other men living besides myself who can tell how fast that was, but shall never tell, and it is probable that they will not. It was so fast that it would not be credited by the public, and so we agreed that we would never mention the time. But will say this much: It was faster gait for the whole mile than I ever saw kept up by any other horse for 8 single quarter" For round dozen of years did Dan Mace maintain his determination to ''never tell," but in an unguarded moment, short time ago, out popped the secret. On the oc- casion to which we refer Dan had be- come much interested in conversation with gentleman about that year, 1870, when Lady Thorne was to meet Gold smith Maid at Buffalo. She had beaten the maid whenever they had contested on eastern tracks, but the party of the little bay mare were quite confident of victory at Buffalo. Dan, after the trial referred to, felt abundant confi- dence himself, and he related, on this recent occasion, how he met MT. Smith, the owner of the Maid, and told him he would beat her. .
 "But," said MT. Smith, ''we can trot three heats better than 2:2O."
 ''So can l." said Dan.
 "We can trot three heats better than 2:18."
 sSo can l." said Dan.
 "We can trot three heats in 2:16."
 ''So can l." said Dan.
 A gentleman to whom Mace related the foregoing conversation casually asked: "Why, Dan, how fast did you ever drive Thorne?"
 Dan impulsively replied: "I drove her mile just as fast as a mile ever was trotted in public, and the last half in 1:O5."
 The secret of decade was now more fully ont. Lady Thorne trotted trial in 1870 in 2:104, last half in 1:05, timed by two of the most experienced men on the turf, both still in the flesh, and driven by man who now lacks only l two years of his threescore.

|" Pooling Gineral Sherman"

About six miles out of Savannah, came across 8 farmer who accepted plug of tobacco and was ready to sit down on log and answer all questions. When I asked him about Sherman's ap- proach, he burst into loud laugh and slapped his leg, and was so tickled that he did not calm down for two minutes. "Excuse me, stranger, he finally said, "but whenever think of how fooled Gineral Sherman it tickles mo all over."
 "Did you fool him?"
 "Wall, I rather reckon"
 "How?"
 "Wall, you see, that's my place up thar on the rise. When the war broke out was the most cantankerous rebel you ever saw. swore I'd fight and fout and fit till we licked the Yanks,i if it took hundred years. I reckon Gineral Sherman heard of it"
 Probably he did"
 "And after he took Atlanta he made up his mind to gobble me. He knew I'd swore to die before I'd surrender, and he come along down from Atlanta with over 10000 men to surround me. Mighty cute old man, that Gineral Sher man r
 "Yes."
 "Wall, they got here one night about 10 o'clock. I reckon that nigh on to 30, 900 of them surrounded my house ur thar and called fur me to come out and surrender and end the war;"
 "And of course you did 2''
 "And of course I didn'tl That's whar' the fun comes in. lwasn't home at all, but was down in Virginy witf Lee. They entered the house and sarched and sarched, and went to the barn and called and called, and wher the old woman finally told 'em wasn't home they was the maddest crowd yor ever sot eyes on. They had hoofed Ii all the way from Atlanta to get thei1 paws on me, and had had their long march for nothingl I expect Sherman was ready to bust with madness, ard ] reckon he won't never quite forgive me It tickles the old woman wuss than i tickles me, and you'd better come up tt the house and hear her tell what then 70, 600 Yankees said when they got here and found me gone.

Warning to be Given of FrOsts.

The Chief Signal Officer of the army has issued the following important mo- tice from Washington:
 "A system of warnings for frosts which threaten the tobacco growing sections of the United States will begin on September l and continue until November 1, or until killing frost has occurred. When frost is antici- pated in any district notification of the fact will be telegraphed from this office and, if possible, forty eight hours in advance. The telegram will define as clearly as practicable the region where the frost is to be anticipated and is to state the time it may be expected to oc- cur. The teleg-ams will be sent to the different centers, according to the schedules deposited in the tele- graph division and the indica- tions-room, and will be addressed, at centers where there are stations of the Signal Service, to the observer in charge, and at other centers to the manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The list of stations will be modified as occasion renders necessary. Officers charged with special duties will take the necessary action."
