Whata dreary morning it WAS It

and everybody else. Yesterday had
been one Of those rare days, when sum-

The air was soft, the sky limitless blue,
the country side stepped in a golden

Snapped Speeches.
New York Sun.


Recent talk about gold, silver and
greenbacks brought out the other day a
good story about the late Senator Nor.
ton and Gen. George A. Sheridan, of
Louisiana. Some years ago when Nor
ton made a famous campaign in In
diana, he was accompanied by Sheri-
dan. The senator's health was at tha
time very poor, and whenever he did
not feel quite equal to making his
speech, Sheridan would deliver an ad-
dress. Upon one occasion both orators
had to deliver speeches, and Morton.
whe had remarkable memory, played
joke on Sheridan by delivering the
latter's speech. The ground being
thus cut from under the generals feet,
he was for moment nonplussed. But
as soon as the applause had died away
he arose and began to deliver Morton's
speech. In this speech Morton dis
cussed the subject of hard and. soft
money, and had dramatic way of pro-
ducing silver dollar and greenback.
sheridan had so often heard and seen
the senator deliver this speech that he
was able to initiate it exactly. Thrust
ing his hand into one pocket he pro-
duced a dollar note, holding it up to the
audience, exclaimed: "What is this ?
Is it money! No, my fellow citizens,
this is not money. Let me read it to
you: The United States promises to
pay to bearer one dollar That is
not money. That is merely promise
to pay money" When Morton was
making this speech, and arrived at this
point, he would return the note to his
pocket and produce silver dollar.
Sheridan was about to do the same
thing, but found to his dismay that he
had no silver dollar about him. The
audience began to litter at the contre-
temps, when Sheridan, turning to Nor
ton, who was listening to his own
prize speech, said: Senator, lend me
that silver dollar which you use when
you deliver this speech! 1t is need
less to say that the laugh was at once
turned"

Women as Listeners.

Woman is primarily being who lis
tens. She has in these days lost much
of her original teachableness, but she
has not yet entirely discarded the APP
pearance of being teachable. In her
capacity for hearing without obeying
lies her true power. AS talker, she
has her peers; as listener, she is un-
equaled.
If, as French writer says, the con-
versation of women i'm society is like

An Advance In Orange Culture.

Asalsflif NY Notnmcrcia.
DIR. Lancaster. an old citizen of Lou
isville. who has for several years been
engaged in making an orange grove in
Florida, reports that the business of
oiange culture has been almost revolu-
tionized within a few years Instead
of waiting on the slow growth and
yield Of seeding trees, the growers bud
with the Gne imported varieties and
shorten the time of obtaining a reve-
nue. from their groves by several years.
These new oranges are also of better
flavor and more prolific. The Doctor
brought up with him from Florida
some very palatable oranges, which
were produced in eighteen months from
the time the bud was inserted in the
tree. He says a good paying grove can
be made in five years at the outside by
the new methods adopted. This will
help to simplify the problem of making
living by this fascinating branch Of
horticulture. for those whose means
will not allow them to wait for eight
or ten years.

Judge Cox, in reply, assured him be
should have every opportunity; that
the charge would be furnished him in
print tomorrow, and he would be ac-
corded all the time allowed by law
within which to file his exceptions, and
that he would also be entitled to four
days within which to move in arrest of
Judgment. Guiteau, who from the mo-
ment Judge Cox began the delivery of
his charge, had dropped completely his
air of arrogant insolence, and had sal
with rigid and compressed lips. called
out in tones Of desperation: ''God will
avenge this outrage"
Judge Cox then Turned to the jury
and said: Gentlemen of the jury,
can not express too many thanks for
the manner in which you have dis
charged your duty. You have richly
merited the thanks of your country
men, and 1 feel assured you will take
with you to you homes the approval of
your conscience.
WITH THANKS, GENTLEMEN, DISMIs S
YOU"
With this announcement the court
adjourned, and now the famous trial,
which has absorbed public interest and
attention for more than ten weeks, was
ended. The prisoner gesticulating with
his manacled hands was led out. As
he passed the reporters table he leaned
over and called out to an acquaintance :
"The court in banc will reverse this
business" His appearance was that
Of man deeply moved with indigna-
ton at some outrage or indignity
which had been put upon him. AS he
was being put in the van crowd of
men and boys shouted themselves
hoarse in mockery Of the prisoners
constant boast: "The American press
and people are all with me-" The :an
was quickly driven away, followed till
out of sight by the jeers and yells Of
the CROWD. Scoville will probably file
motion in arrest of judgment and
for new trial on exceptions. The
law gives the defendant four days to
file motion and reasons for a new
trial, and it is customary for the court
to sit some day to hear argument
thereon. Should this motion be over,
ruled defendant will appeal to the gen.
eral term, and under the law defend
ant s entitled to suspension of sen,
tence until after the next general terra,
not exceeding thirty days. The gener-
al 'erm is now in session and the case
can not go there, but will be appeala-
BILE to the April term. 1t is the Gus
tom of the April term to run till Sep
tember, taking recess over July and
August, but should it be closed by re
latter part of May, then, if judgment
he affirmed, the execution might take
place in July.

Newspapers in the Farm House

People who live near the great thor
oughfares, where they have access to
two OF three dailies and a half dozen
weeklies, do not appreciate the value
Of a newspaper. They come, indeed,
to look upon them as necessities, and
they would as cheerfully do without
their morning meal. But one must be
far off in the country. remote from
''madening crowd" TO realize the full
luxury Of a newspaper. The farmer,
who receives but one paper a week,
does not glance over its columns hur-
riedly, with an air Of impatience, as
does your merchant or lawyer. He be-
gins at the beginning and reads to the
close, not permitting a news item or
an advertisement to escape his eye
Then IL is to be thumbed by every
member of the family; each one look
Ing for things i'm which he or she is
most interested. The grown up daugh-
ter looks Tor the marriage notices, and
Is delighted If the editor has treated
them TO love story. The son who is
about 10 engage in farming with an en-
thusiasm that will carry him far in adj
vance of his father, reads all the crop
reports and has n keen eye for hints
about improved modes of culture. The
younger members of the family come
in for the amusing anecdotes and
scraps of fun. All look forward to
the day that shall bring the paper with
the liveliest interest, and if by some
uRlucky shance il fails to come it is a
bitter disappointment. One can hard
ly estimate the amount of information
which a paper that is not only read but
studied, can carry into family. They
have, week by week, spread before
their vision a panorama of the busy
world, its fluctuations and its concerns.
IL is the poor mans's library. and furn-
ishes as much mental food as he has
time TO consume and digest. No one
who has observed how much those
who are far away from the places
where men most congregate value their
weekly paper can fail to join in invok-
ing a blessing on the inventor of this
means of intellectual enjoyment.

A New Hampshire Amazon.

/
Living in town in New Hampshire
is an Amazon, not in the sense of ap-
parent masculinity, but in actual
strength and agility, and her enterprise
is equal to her endurance. 1t was re-
ported in the papers of the county that
she picked and marketed four hundred
quarts of blueberries the last season.
She assured the writer that the quanti-
ty was much larger than was reported.
These berries she carried on foot two
miles to the village, and peddled them
out to the residents. Recently she
wheeled a wheelbarrow two and one
half miles over a rough and billy road,
and returned with it, trundling home
two good-sized pigs. She performed
feat, a few weeks since, that few men
would care to undertake, yet she &C.
complished it without ado or difficulty.
Having purchased at the village an out
side dweIling-house door, one and one
half inches thick, she placed 1t on her
back and carried it in that manner 70
her home. distance of two long miles.
Yet she is slender in form, and agile
and elastic as deer. She is often seen
walking in the street engaged in knit
ting. her fingers and feet moving as II
| in vigorous competition with each
other. When not encountered, in pass
| ing to and from the village, she fire.
uueHtly strikes into run, sometimes
maintaing it up the steepest hills and
for most of the distance. Occasionally
she essays journeys Of ten or fiteeI
miles ON foot into the neighborine
towns, if not at a corresponding speed
yet at one surprising to people with or
binary powers of locomotion. Matched
with a husband of equal energy, shs
would be surrounded with comfort and
abundance.

Entered by Thieves,

The residence of William Bright,
ESQ, on West Eleventh street, near
Market, was entered by thieves some
time last night, who gained access to
the house by prying open a rear shut
ter in the dining room. From their
actions 1t was evident that they in.
tended to make thorough search of
the lower portion of the house but as
all the doors leading to the various
rooms were locked, their efforts proved
truitless. Not being satisfied with this
state of affairs they again went outside
and forced open the parlor shutters,
thus gaining access to the front part of
the house and to the door leading to
Mr.. Bright's private Office, but again
their efforts were batHed, and they took
their departure without having secured
any booty.
