Andrew johnson Opens II Jack pot" for
Grant.

The Nashville correspondent Of the
Louisville Commercial tells the following
absurd story:
johnson was n fine poker player, one of
the best in Tennessee. lie used to tell of
q game he played with Grant in 1866.
Grant was then Mt Washington and visi-
ted the President one night. After n
Bhort talk johnson proprosed game o.!
poker. Grant, who was an invcterate
player then, jumped at the chance. Cards
were brought and they began to play
Grant lost steadily and heavily. Tie
game was 81, call 50 and no limit. At
last Grant said: johnson, | will play
you one more deal around and we will
quit: am tired Of this foolishness."
johnson dealt and wouldn't come in
They made it jack pot.
The jackpot went OH increasing in
size; neither could open it. At last
there was sGi III the pot. Grant was
dealing. johnson picked up his cards /;
he had two pair, aces up. Grant looked ut
his cards, and quitely laid them down.
johnson said:
81 will open for $40"
Grant without moving muscle Of his
cast-iron conntenance, leaned bnck in his
chair and said slowly, looking at his cards
nll the time:
II will have to raise you $50, Andy,
can't help it,"
Johnson was little surprised but stood
the raise. Gran: asked him how many
cards he wanted
II Just want one; how many do you
want?"
"Eh9" said Grant, carelessly, l don't
want any this time"
johnson picked up his card. 1t was

Care Of Grass Lands.

The present seems to be a favorable
season in which to offer useful suoges
ton IN reference to the treatment of grass
lands. 1t is true that farmers have quite
enough to attend to in properly curing
and storing the crop already grown.
without spending time in preparing for
any future crop. Practical Suggestions
IN reference to the treatment of meadows
will carry force to the mind of the farmer
if the evils to be remedied are present.
A farmer in doing his haying cannot
help seeing the crop of foul weeds that
should not be allowed in his meadow.
Ii there is new meadow not properly
seeded, which could have been remedied
ere loss resulted, then it is proper that
such an inferior meadow should receive
some thought from the farmer during
haylng. During haying is the best time
In which to consider methods of improve
ment. Defects and weak spots in his
system of farming are quite as much ap-
parent at this season as at any time dur
ing the year. iEi7r'
1t may be wellto give some thoughtto
the question of the quantity of manure
1t is profitable to apply as top-dressine
to meadow land. We are altogether too
chary OF time and expense in the care of
our meadows. / know of meadows that
have never received an application of
any kind of manure during the last ten
years. All meadows treated in this way
are very susceptible to the evil effects Of
what is called "a bad season., The
usual manner of top-dressine meadows
IS little better than the practice of not
top-dressing at all. In MANY cases the
quantity of fertilizers applied is not half
enough tsl, to accomplish the object desired.
The application is also made but once in
three or four years. Often BARNARD
manure IS not in proper shape to use. 4
nave travelled over meadows often dur
ing haying, where the hofse-rake gath
cred up great quantities of half-rottea
straw and sun-dried chips of manule
which were hauled to the barn with tia
hay. All this can be avoided. It ms7
seem to be a useless and unreasonable
task to work over the manure bean at
least twice before it is hauled to the field
to be used. l know that few farmers
perform this extra labor, their reasons
tor not doing it being lack of time, and
they do not see wherein it would paw.
The one great and immediate return
70 De expected from top-dressing with
well fined manure, is that the growing
crop will assimilate all the manure the
flrst season after the application. know

Spectacles ON Saxon Bows.

All the Saxon boys do not receive col.
legiate education, but thousands of them
do. There is scarcely q more pleasing
sight in any of the large cities on Satur-
day or holidays than to see the swarms
of red-capped and blue-capped voun Q
students on the streets. Nearly all of
them wear spectacles, and they do so for
any one of the following reas ons:
l. Because they need them.
z. Because they dom need them.
5. Because they are afraid they NAV
need them.
4. Because students uniform is not
complete without them.
5. Because they think it makes them
appear to be hard workers.

Most of the spectacles are made out OF
