Good Sense.

Study not how far plants will endure poor
cultivation, but howfar it will pay to carry
high culture and fertilizatton--there is a
limit in this direction. Every mans farm,
every mans circumstances and peculiar
location must become a personal problem
which no book, no journal, no counsellor
can solve so well as the owner, yet much
help and many valuable suggestions can
often be given by persons of less capacity
OF less experience. We never talked with
man of common sense without carrying
away some thought, experience OF sugges-
ton that has aided us in future work. The
man who is all-sufficient in himself, who
cares nothing for the ideas of others, and
believes his methods cannot be improved,
is painfully and dis;lstrously deluded. We
need confidence in ourselves, but it should
be the confidence that lays hold of what is
profitable in others experience, and makes
it available in forwarding our own enter
prises. Recorder.

Ancient Classics for English Readers

This is the title of a unique and really
delightful series of books, the first volume
of which, 'sThe Commentaries of Casar,''
by Anthony Trollope, is just issued. The
aim of the series is to open to the unlearned
English reader the beauties and treasures
of classic lore, tell who the writer's were,
give some connected outline of the story
they narrate, present some of their most
striking passages in choice English trans
lation, and Illustrate them with the wealth
of modern scholarship. There are 81 vol
umes in all, and heretofore they have cost
$l.00 each. They are publishing in The
ElzeUir Library, in really charming style, at
Is cents each for paper binding, OF 80 cents
for cloth binding. 'Herodotus, "by George
G. Swayne; ''Cicero," by W. L. Collins,
and 'Demosthenes," by W. j. Brodribb,
are announced for immediate issue, and
the other volumes are to follow, one OF
more each week, until the series is COM
plete. From even these marvelously low
prices large discounts are offered to clubs
and for prompt orders. John B. Alden,
Publisher, Is Vesey St., New York.

The Richmond correspondent of the In
den-Appeal, April 18th, says: ''Since Audi
tor Aliens attention has been called to
the question of paying Judge Holidays
salary from the State Treasury by Attor-
ney-General Blair, he has examined the
laws governing the case, and finds in
Chap. 32S, Acts of 1S72-'73, the following:
''Be it enacted by the General Assembly
of Virginia, that the judges of city and
corporation courts Of this Commonwealth,
shall be paid out of the treasury of their
respective corporations. The act went
into effect January 1, 1874. and has never
been repealed, and that the salaries of cor
poration judges should for ten years have
been paid out of State funds, in direct vi
olation of law, is quite a singular fact
To-day the Auditor informed the Attor-
ney-General that he would no longer pay
the salaries of the judges of the corpora
tion courts of Richmond, Petersburg,
Norfolk, Lynchburg, &c., &c.

The following story is recalled by'an ex-

master Generals character: One day when
an important case was called the District
Attorney announced that it would be with
drawn from the docket. ''By whose au-
throity 20 asked Judge Greshem. ''By in
structions from Washington" was the
reply. ''But whose instructions ?'' The
rejoinder was, if not evasive, unsatisfac-
tory. "We do not recognize the right of
anybody at Washington, even the President
himself, said Judge Greshem, ito inter-
fere, whether by instructions OF requests,
in the trial of a cause before this court.
Proceed with the trial of the case" The
trial proceeded, and conviction was Sc
cured,

More about Mrs. spra que.

The Ashland, (Ky) Independent says
Mr.. Frank W. Calvert, travelling sales
man for A. R. Clark & Co., Cincinnati, has
been interviewed about his former wife,
now Mrs. Dora Inez Sprague. He says
when he married her she had but one cal
leo dress. Her maiden name was Weed,
and she is a native of Connecticut, her
father being a shoemaker by trade, who
settled in Guyandotte shortly after the
war. Her parents are residing in Hinton,
Summers county, at present. Governor
Sprague will need shotgun to protect
her, for her reputation is not as the Pom
eroy Telegraph puts it, FAST" but gerry
fast, as can be learned by a visit to Cabell
county, W. Va, and thus saying, Mr.. Cal
vert joined a group of acquaintance who
congratulated him on his good luck in being
once more whole heart and fancy free.

AT last the steward came to say that the
agent of the Cospatrick s owners was wait
ing fof Macdonald on deck.
So / brought him up, with his arm in
mine, to encounter storm of wrath from
a semicircle of forestalled rivals who
crowded the quarterback.
The captain of the Nyanza struck in,-

The whole crowd III us embarked for
shore on board the mail-tug. There, a
dead set was made on Macdonald to be
communicative. But if he had driven a
hard compact, he was staunch to tim
perturbably staunch.
1.-The public, "Quoth local editor, ''have
a right to learn the details of your story. -

lat weel, they'll can read it i the mornin s

was all, spite of portentuous denunciation,
that could be made Of Macdonald. My

with the restin the mail-tug. 1 introduced
him to Macdonald and babe him take that
person off to the train, get him into our
compartment, pump him dry between Ply
mouth and Exeter, and, leaving the train
at the latter station, hurry to the telegraph
office there and wire to London the COM
pletion of the narrative.
But at this point my plot broke down.
My colleague did indeed get Macdonald
into our compartment, but, although he
fought hard, he could not prevent it's be-
ing stormed through the windows by III
val journalists. So these had the benefit
of the mans story between Plymouth and
Exeter.

In the election which took place in Rhode
Island on the 4th inst, Mr.. Bourn was
elected by clear majority over both his
competitors of 1000, and plurality OF
5000. Gov. Sprague was his most formi-
dable opponent. He was the nominee of
a Convention of Independents, and also Of
the regular Democratic Convention-rep-
resenting the worst element of the Demo-
cratic party, which is saying much, al
though he himself claimed to be an indie
pendent Republican. He was supported,
too, by Gov. B. F. Butler, of Massachu-
sets, who contributed money and personal
effortin behalf of Sprague. Probably there
has never been so unsavory collection
of political odds and ends, or following
that more faithfully reflected the lower
impulses and emotions of humanity than
that which Sprague commanded. Yet the
''best people" OF Virginia, the Bourbon
faction, were in hearty sympathy with it,
and the Vindicdtor rejoices that the Repub-
hcan majority was reduced thereby. 1t
was equally as disreputable as the combina-

government of the country, has there been
so much defiance, and that successfully, of

standing this, and the protests Of the pull

Whiskey rings and gambling hells were
powerful enough to elect the Democratic

A Novel Suit.


Massachusetts is a wonderful common
wealth. One never knows, what to expect
from it next. When Ben Butler was hug
ged to the immaculate bosom of Democ-
racy, and the fatted veal was sacrificed
upon the return of the long lost child. it
was thought the miracle business was about
overdone, and the prophets predicted that
the old Bay State would rest upon its lau-
rels for while. But scarcely has Benia-
min begun to chaw up the Legislature, and
renovate the charitable institutions, before
Boston comes forward with another claim
to the attention of the outside world, in
the shape of suit for lost, strayed or sto-
len angels. The parents of a child are
seeking to recover from Catholic minis
ter $4,000 damages for alleged unlawful acts
OF the defendant in depriying the child of
certain images to which she was deyO-
tedly attached. These images were paper
representations of angels, which the girl
Worshipped, declaring that they had been
sent her by her dead brother that if care
fully preserved they would greatly benefit
her. Her parents were Catholics, and it
was decided to send for the priest. Upon
seeing her the Rev. Father persuaded her
to exchange.the images for beads, but not
until she had charged him to take the best
of care of them. Shortly after, the priest
cut off the head of one of the images and
told the child that he had prosecuted it,
Thereup0n she went into paroxysm of
grief and tainted. The priest was requested
to give up the images, but refused. From
May 1879 to Christmas of the same year,
the paroxysmS came on once a week, and
the priest thought it was something mi
raculous. The child became speeches. and
pinned for her images. The priest refused
to surrender them, when the Archbishop
was applied to. He promised to restore
them, but did not do so, and the parents
have sued the Archbishop and priest for
$4,000. Upon the trial of the case, a wit
ness testified that besides the other abnor-
NAL conditions, the child was subject to the
condition called stigma" The symptoms
were OF bleeding from little apertures as
large as the puncture of pin, from the
forehead, each hand, each foot, and in the
side of the body,-these corresponding to
the five bleeding wounds of the Saviour
when he was crucified. These apertures
did not constantly emit blood, but only for
a short time, when they would close up and
the bleeding cease. The child would fire.
quently be in trance, and some persons,
and especially the priest, would have power
to restore her to consciousness by layingo on
the hands. AS soon as the hands were re-
moved, however, she would relapse.
The case is exciting considerable COM
ment, and will serve to keep up the excite
ment until some new freak is developed
from that land of nineteenth century Won
