The Milk In the COcOanut.

Whether the familiar saying about
"the milk in the cocoanut" had its origin
in trick played upon city marshal by
a Main liquor dealer, or merely acquires
therefrom new application, the story is
worth telling, and the Somerville Journal
tells it very we'll. zone night the liquor
dealer made wager with the marshal
that he could bring large quantity of
liquor into the city and sell it in small
wholesale lots without the latter's being
able to catch him. The next day the
liquor dealer disappeared. only to appear
as suddenly acouple Of days later. The
marshal's myrmidons soon detected a
very strong odor of whisky in the public
breath, but after vainly hunting the
source of supply for week the marshal
suddenly thought Of his wager, and made
descent on his friend, but found nothing
illegal on the premises. After dismiss.
ing his officers the marshal said: Look
here, X, this town is just chuck
full Of whisky, and I believe you are at
the bottom of the barrel. Now give us
the racket, and if you have won your
wager III pay up and say nothing about
it, With broad grin, the other replied,
as he selected cocoanut from
baskelful in the corner: Here, take
that home and sample it. I passed five
thousand of them under your very nose
last week, and this is the last of the lot.
The marshal paid up, and left with his
sample"

GrecnrWc Enterprise and Houutninrcr.
Hearing that Mr.. B. i. Perry, Jr., was
going to run four of Cassaday Sulky
PIows on last Friday, we concluded to
drop in on him and see the plows in op-
Grafton on his farm three mile, above tit
city. When We got within two hundred
yards of the field, we saw the four plows
all in line, Ben in the lead, Tom Rob
erts next, and little Hill Whitehead, n
lad of thirteen years, third, and your old
paddy from Cork" Mr.. John Keenan,,
bringing up the rear. Upon seeing us,
Ben stopped and showed us the particu-
lar points in favor of this plow, and said
tina. he thought he WAS breaking at the
rate of six acres a day to the pillow.
Upon inquiring how it was that all Of
the axles of the different plows were
sprung, he said that he had been asked
that question by every one passing, but
that they were not sprung at all-if ii
was not for The shape that the hent shee!
was made, Hill, tthe lad l3 years old),
could not manage the ploughat all. The
horses find it impossible to get that wheel
out of the furrow in which you see it
runs, and besides if it was not for that
wheel being made SO could no: finish
my last burrows in land. lie said that
that wheel guides the plow. The greatest
improvement of this plow over other
sulky plows is that it is much easier on
stock; you can turn quicker and easier at
end, never having to rnise your pillow,
plowing corners is we'll rs any other part
of the land.
He said he could adjust the leaver to
any depth be wanted to, and that he was
then turning the land to the depth OF
four inches. They first run around the
field and continued to plow the same way
till they finished it.

grown, lazy men will work when they
can ride and plow with their gloves on

thut he had been harsh or unciyil to
newspaper men who had called at the
Academy for information in regard 10

express his own views ON the subject. on
the ground that it was his duty to report
first to his superior officer, the Secretary
of the Navy, he gave the correspondence
permission to get whatever information
or views the officers of the Academy or
even the cadets chose to give them. He
had not, as yet, made an official report of
the trouble, but expects to do 80 in a
