"Ihc ideal death, Sau "a . ~ stefan
in charge of one OF the New York city
hospitals to reporter of the Sun. ''was
that of my uncle. He was q hail, hearty
man of 80, n bachelor, wealthy, and
surrounded with every comfort in
beautiful home not far from New York.
He arose one morning apparently in
perfect health. His buoyancy of spir-
its was noticed. He was singing some
of the quaint old Scotch songs of his
boyhood. He expected visit from me,
and he arose from the table after
hearty and partial meal, saying that he
would drive down to the depot, not far
away, and bring me to the house. He
had the servant bring the ponies to the
door, and refused to let the man go
with him, saying he preferred to drive
himself. He mounted the box and
drove. off at smart pace. The old gen.
tleman had not driven more than few
rods from his own house when he was
met by neighbor who noticed some
thing strange in bis appearance. His
horses stopped. The neighbor dis
mounted, and went. to the side of his
carriage and spoke to him. The old
gentleman did not answer. He sat up
right in his seat, holding the reins in
his hand. He was dead. He had passed
away without shock of any kind.
There was no apparent cause of his
death, which was probably occasioned
by heart disease"
DR.. l.. L. Seaman. physician-in-chief
of Charity hospital, Blackwell's Island,
took great interest in observing the
much Wanted death scenes of Sarah
Bernhardt, and when once started on
the subject he is apt TO give a judgment
of the great actress performances
somewhat different from the general
conclusions of the dramatic critics.

Going to Jericho.

We had heard very little of the enemy
for several days. Where he was we did
not know. We only hoped he had at
last taken to his heels and run away,
and that we should never again see
anything of him but his back Alas!
for the presumption; and alas! for the
presumption of the innumerable COM
pany and fellowship of cooks, camp
followers, and mule-drivers, who, en-
boldened by the quietude of the last few
days, had ventured to join each his re-
spective regiment, and were mar ching
along bravely enough, when, on the
evening of May 23d, we reached North
Ann river, which we were to cross ut
place called Jericho Ford. Under tie
impression that we would probably halt
there for the night, / gathered num-
Der of the boys canteens and started in
search of water. But hardly had more
than half-tilled my first canteen, when
the enemy, lying concealed in the
woods, across the river, opened fire.
Boom! Bang! Whir-r-r! Chuck! l could
hear the sharp Mud of the pieces of
shell as they tore up the meadow sod to
the right and left. Finding an old
gateway near by, with high stone posts
on either side, took refuge there, and,
feeling tolerably safe behind my tall de-
Tense, turned and looked toward the riv-
err. There was the bridge in full view,
crowded with struggling mass of men,
horses and mules; the troops trying to
force their way over to the other
side, and the yelling crowd of camp
followers puually bent on forcing their
way back; some jumping or. being
tumbled off the bridge, while others
were swept irresistibly over the other
side, and there began to plunge forth
with into the dirty ooze of the stream,
with the intention of getting beyond the
enemy's range as quickly rs possible,
while all the time the shells flew Shrek
ing and screaming through in pursuit.

How the French Marry.

In this country, writes q Paris cores
pondent, a marriage for money on the
part of the male party to the contract
is not looked upon in the same light as
it is with us. knew French lady
who was an heiress to magnificent
fortune, but who had too much good
sense to exchange it for title. When
she made her debut in society she was the
object of more offers of marriage from
princes, dukes, counts, and barons than
you could shake stick at. She de-
clined them all and married a gentle
man whose fortune was equal to her
own and who loved her for herself.
Long afterward, when she was happy
wife and mother, she renewed her ac-
quaintance with q school mate who
also had entered society as an heiress
and who had treated herself to ducal
coronet in exchange for her dot. The
duchess and the bourgeoise COM
pared notes, and they discovered that
thew had both during the same sea-
son received no less than twenty offers
of marriage from rs many men of rank
and title, and that in both cases pretty
much all these wooers, including the
duke who was the successful one, had
been the same persons. There is moth

the dot ends with respectable number

Black Snakes Fighting.

l witnessed conflict between two
racer snakes. Hearing tremendous
thrashing among the leaves on my right,
| turned my head in that direction and
beheld a sight which, though calculated
to Lake ones flesh creep, was sufficient
ly exciting to hold ones breathless at
tention. Two of these glossy black rep
tiles, each four feet long, often with halt
their lengths erect, were charging upon
and lashing each other in terrific man
ner. Their maneuvers reminded me OF
two why game chickens, withdrawing,
advancing and circling around each
other, sometimes prone upon the ground
and again with half their bodies erect in
the air, with head drawn back and jaws
distended, now and again coming to-
gether with rush, coiling and whirling
about each other, while they dashed each
other and the ground with their tails,
the blows sounding like the, stroke of a
heavy studded whip lash. This anima-
ted contestlaste probably two minutes,
when one of the contestants, having
been sufficiently entertained, darted
away, with his antagonist in hot pursuit,
and soon they passed beyond my view.

Shall we Prime in Antnmn2

To the above question, which comes
from several subscribers, we say decid-
eddy, yes, provided the question applies
to newly planted trees. those set last
spring, or within few years. The
sooner such trees have their final shape
given to them, the better. This should
have been done when they were plant
ed, but between the hurry of spring
work and the timidity of the ineXperi-
enced, who are afraid to cut, trees are
quite too often set out just as they come
from the nursery. Such trees must
sooner or later be put into their final
shape for bearing, and the sooner this
is done, the better. Some books on
fruit culture, the French especially, give
diagrams to show how the tree should
be shaped. These are well enough as
suggestions, but as no two trees grow
precisely alike, the only guides in such
matters are, general idea of the laws
which regulate tree growth, and COM
mon sense in their application. Work
ing to pattern cannot be followed. II
one has young orchard, the first point
to be considered is the hight at which
he will make the head of his trees. In
localities where the summer is long and
hot, it is claimed that low heads shade
the trunk, and thus are benefit. 9th
ers wish to have their heads high
enough to allow of the passage of teams
beneath them, if need be. While there
is no objection to cultivating crops in a
young orchard, and indeed it is better
to do this than to Neglect the soil en-
tirely, the practice is becoming more
general of seeding the bearing orchard
to clover, and using it as pasture for
swine, to the mutual benefit of pigs and
trees. The hight of the heads being de-
cided upon. all branches that start be-
low this should be removed. The next
point should be, to secure an open and
well-balanced head, with the main
branches evenly disposed. Beyond this,
all branches that crowd, or cross one
another, all water shoots" vigorous
growths, that sometimes start up in the
growing season, should be. cut away.
The seasons growth being completed,
the removal of branches at this time
will cause no check, and rs the branch
es to be cut away are all small, no large
wounds will be exposed. Hence we say,
by all means do such pruning in au-
tumn, while the weather is mild, and
other farm work is not pressing. Amer
