HAVE A STRAWBERRY BED.-If
the weather is suitable, new beds
may be formed now. For gardens,
the rows may be three feet apart,
and the plants one foot apart in
the row. Take up a ball of earth
with the most vigorous young
plants, and be sure to set them half
an inch to an inch deeper than they
stood in the OLD bed. An occasion

1t is gratifying to see that some
influential journals have begun to
tackle some of the abuses which
have fastened themselves upon the
common school system, even if
they do speak only of local cases.
The truth is that the common
school system, as usually operated,
needs a thorough overhauling al
most as badly as the road system
does. These and other reforms
will doubtless come Sin the full
ness of time;' but it is a part of
the mission of the press to prepare
the way for them by calling public
attention first and persistently.-

The Sandwich Islanders appear
to be tolerably good judges of wo-
mans smile. A Hawaiian newspa-
per, in describing such an affair,
said: 'Her rich, red lips parted,
and there flashed upon the land
scape two rows of beautiful white
teeth. Slowly her mouth opened
wider and wider. Deeper grew the
dimples in her bronzed checks.
Brighter danced the sunbeams in
her eyes, until stray ray, parting
the foliage of an overhanging
bough, illuminated the deep cavern
of her mouth, bringing into view
the back of her head. Then, seeing
us gaze intently upon her, she shut
her jaw, and darkness fell upon the
scene"

1t is said the spots on the sun

effect is soon on the spot. This is

The merchant makes good his
bad debts off the easy going, care
less farmer, by skillful manage
ment of the book account. Law
yers fatten through troubles arising
out of careless business habits.
The farmer may know that he got
so much for his cattle, his wool, his
grain, his hogs, or whatever it may
be, and he paid his taxes, his store
bills, but he will be likely to feel
that his money slipped away and
did him very little good, and of
course he becomes stingy and mean.
l once knew man of whom it was
said that when he paid anybody
nancy he always held it out and
looked in the opposite direction-he
hated to see the money go.
Let the farmers wife keep her &C
count also, and thus add dignity to
labor, and we will not hear the
growing husband ask her what has
become of the money he conde-
scended to give her. She will take
just pride in keeping an account
of her affairs; and the handling of
the funds necessary in the manage
ment of the household will make
her position dignified and respecta-

From Belle to Beggar.

Orlean On. " correspondence Philadelphia Press
While in New York the other day
your correspondent noticed Il gray
haired woman begging at the foot of
the steps leading to the Fourteenth
street station of the Sixth Avenue EIe-
waited road A gentleman who was
with me said that the woman's name
was Lucy f. Maclem, and that she was
a person of literary tendencies.
Residents of this place recognize in
the name singular and unhappy
woman well known here, whose
strange actions have caused much com
ment Her mania for hustle is a pre-
dominant characteristic Of her ward
robe. In summer and winter alike she
wore a dark calico dress, with long
full skirt and n waist of a style in vogue
20 or 25 years ago. She is tall, and
in other DAYS doubtless graceful
She was the daughter Of Capt. Ma
elem, who served in the Revolution
airy war, and who afterward moved
with his family To Ohio, and from
thence to Springville, Erie county, in
this state. Lucy Maclem and her sis
ter Sara moved from there about 25
years ago to this place. When the two
girls were young Lucy was great
belle, was very pretty, talented and
gay, and her admirers were many.
She wrote poetry of some merit, rs
the pages of Graham, Cooley and the
Knickerbocker testified One of her
best pieces was a satire on a school
master. who in some manner had
given her offense 1t had great run
in the newspapers of that day. She
had a wide correspondence with men
of letters, and, among others, with
Mr.. Longfellow.
She became acquainted with the
late Chief Justice Salmon p. Chase in
the bloom of her youth, and the
friendship established terminated in
an engagement Of marriage Cores
pondence continued between the two
for some time, when suddenly the let
tiers ceased. The reason of this Lucy
would never disclose, but it was not
very long after this that her friends no
ticed that her actions were very strange.
She manifested more and more crazy
impulses. until finally she became
hopelesly insane. For twenty years
she has wandered aimlesly, dependent
upon the charity of her sister Sara.
Some of Lucy's habits are very sing
ular. For years she haunted the
banks of this city, continually inquir
fng for remittances that never came.
Finally she gave this up and took
to borrowing, or trying to borrow, small
sums Of money Her usual manner
was 10 enter store when the propri-
etor was most busily engaged, apollo
gize for her intrusion in a ladylike
manner, and for the loan of from 25
cents to - Never more than that
and never less. A refusal had no
effect. as she would return next day
with an apology and singular request.
She has frequently been TO New York
and several years ago she went to
Washington to see certain members
of Congess about subsidy which she
claimed she was entitled to as an au-
thoress. 1t is mystery how she OBJ
tanned money for her travels. Some
say she did not use any money at all,
but trusted TO the gallantry Of con
ductors not to put her off their trains
between stations, and when she had

As that section of the county has never

there is no good reason for .doubting

THE TEWkSBURY ALMSHOUSE
A Lively Matinee in the Investigat-
ing Committee.

Boston, July 10.-The Tewksbury
committee held secret session this af
ternoon, and authorizes the statement
that it was voted that Wolcott report
to the house the fact that Thos.
j. Marsh, Jr.. refuses to produce his
memorandum books as to the disposal
of bodies; and also said that there is
no doubt that Marsh will produce the
books. and that he has all the time
been willing to do SO. if the names of
bodies sent for dissection be not pub
lished, so that friends who were too
negligent to take awav the bodies for
burial would not modest him for send
ing the bodies away for dissection.
During the Tewksbury investigation
DIR. Macarthur and Representative
Miller, member of the committee pro
tested against the ruling of the ma
iority of the committee and turning
to the witness asked him to say, if
there was Il practice of skinning
bodies at Howard Medical school.
Discussion over this query which
followed between the members of the
committee was even more personal
than any which has characterized the
hearing, Mielen claiming the major
ity of the committee deliberately
voted against the minority in order to
smother the evidence the majority
claimed the governor was seeking.

Ir appears that the American duel
may now be divided into two classes,
one deriving its name and p ecullan-
ties from Virginia and the other from
Texas. The former variety is well
known, 1t requires challen%e due
notice Ia the authorities over VIDE
range of territory, ample advertising,
a man ready Ia run for Governor and
a country doctor andhospital. 1t was
thought 20 be about rs harmless as q
duel could we'll be, But the Texas
kind is an Improvement i'll that II
brings it down to purley fiat basis.
Its essentials area dinner, bad whisky,
drunken quarrel, challenge, n
Long Island beach and a faithful news
paper reporter, No pistols or swords
or coffee are required. There need be
no meeting. no seconds, no doctor, no
order To fire or thurst. or, indeed. no
ANYTHING. except n reporter with a
nenc;l and a note book This seems
10 be the way the honor of Knox and
Mr. Sheahan was satisfied the other
dav. That they both got drunk is
pretty well attested. That they had a
seeming quarrel isquite as well known.
But il turns out now that it was all a
mere diversion on the part of Mr..
