A BOSTON dress-maker has been on trial for
having evaded customs duties by wearing a
hustle made of lace on her arrival from Eng

nant manner that it was a matter OF choice
W hat ladies wore in their hustle. Some wore
newspapers, some preferred whalebones. but

Miss LIZZIE CLICK, of Phillinsburg, N. J., has
been asleep for six weeks, ever since she carried
n stove from room to another. Miss Click
is not the right kind of a woman to have around
the house. Just as likely as not AFTER she had
lifted the sideboard and other heavy furniture
about for the fall cleaning she would go to sleep
and not wake up till next spring.

WISCONSIN man has won notoriety by hav-
ing wantonly killed a fine eagle. It is a shame
to slaughter these fine fellows of the upper deep.
They do little or no HARM and it is contrary to
all ideas of fitness to needlessly slaY the living
emblem of the American republic.

Is the Boston Ideal Opera Company really the
Boston ideal9 II has its wraagles and rows and
jealousies just like any and every other opera
company, SO far as the world outside of the Hub
can see, though perhaps the rows are on a
higher plane. The manager of the company,
Miss ODER, said to be a very intellectual and
estimable lady, recently discharged her agent
aad advertising man because, as he alleges, he
was in love with one Of the young ladies of the
company. 1t was had enough to be in love at
all; indeed we are led to infer from the disclos-
thought that tender sentiment to be reprehen-
sble under any Circumstance but she was led
to believe, and so told that AGENT that he was
attracted to the young lady in question solely
by the beauty of her limbs. Observe the word
carefully used by agent and manager and
evil to him who thinks Boston girl does not
possess attractive-arms. The affection
of the agent under these circumstances was
shocking, and could not be countenanced.
If he had loved the girl for her intellect, her
culture, musical or otherwise, or for herself
alone and not for her-arms, 1t might have been
oyerlOoked but this was not to be endured.
Miss Ober, the aggrieved agent says, wanted
him to sign a contract not to love the young
woman any more, but he was not that "ideal"
kind of a man and he refused Thereapon he
received his discharge, and now sues for breach
agent who can be depended on not to fail in
love with her maidens, and unless she finds him
the Ideal promises to become fading ideality.

]. B. BARNARD, discharged from the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing on account of alleged
undue intimacy with a female employee in the
same department, seems to be as ungratefu a
man as could well be found. Twenty-Five years
ago he married, and before year discovered
that his wife's first husband, who had been
thought dead, was still living. He concluded to
make no fuss, and continued living with the wo-
man for quarter of a century, during which
time she bore him several children. When he
was captivated by his new charmer, he was
mean enough to declare that his wife was a big
amist, and that, therefore. he was absolved from
all obligations TO her. He married his new love-
and now his injured wite-for such she is in
truth, if not in law-will seek some reparation
1t is to be hoped that she will not be turned
away unheard.

How to Tell Good Eggs.

A good egg will sink in water.
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from
the kettle.
Boiled eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
After an egg has been laid day
or two the shell comes off easily when
boiled.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth
of shell.
A fresh egg has lime-like surface
to its shell.
Eggs which have been packed in
lime look stained, and show the action
of the lime on the surface.
With the aid of the hands, a piece
ofpaper rolled in funnel shape and
held towards the light. the human
eye can look through an egg, shell
and all.
If an egg is clear and golden in
appearance when held toward the
hight, it is good; if dark and spotted,
1t is bad.
4 spoilt egg may sometimes be
told by shaking it near the hold
eTs ear, but the test is a dangerous
one.
Thin shells are caused by lack
OF gravel, etc..anOng the laying hens.

WAITING FOR MOTHER.
BY MARY p. BRINE.

The old man sat in his easy chair,
Slumbering the moments away,
Dreaming dream that IL all his own,
ON his gladstone, peaceful day.
His children have gathered from far ana noar
His cbildren's children beside-
And merry voices are ochoing through
Tho sHomestead's" hall 80 wide
.lIut far away in the years long howh
Grandfather lives again;
Aud his heart forgots tina; II ever know
A shadow of grief and pain,
For he sees his wife as he saw her then
A matron homely and FAIR, ,
With her children gathered around his board,
And never u vacant chair.
oh, bappy this dream OF theaAuld Lang Syne,
or the Years long slipped away!
And the old mans lips have gathered smiie'
And his heart grows young and gay
But a kiss falls gently upon his brow
From his daughter's lips 30 true;
Dinner il ready, and, father dear,
We arc only waiting for you
Tho old man wakes at his daughter's call,
And he looks at the table near
There's one of us missing, my child, he says,
We'll wait till mother is here -,
There are tears in the eyes OF his children then,
Az they gaze Oh All empty chair;
nor many q lonely year has passed
Since smother" sat with them there.
uut tbe old man pleads still wistfuly:
aWo must wait for mother, you know!
And they let him rest in his old arm CHAIR
TIL the sun at last sinks low;
Y,hnn. leaving q smile for his children mere,
he Turns from the earth away,
And had gone with smother" beyond the skies,
With tho close of the quiet day.

WASHINGTON July lO.-The Ju,,..
port Of the department of agncnih "
indicates a very general improvsmoa.ee
in the condition of cotton. Rs;ns
We're general up to the Is or o. a ~
June, and local showers have h.. VI
frequent since. There has boen u' ~
excess of moisture interfering S S; ~
cultivation and promoting the ero with
OF grass. Clean fields are found onIu
in favored districts, and on lands !,
prompt pushing cultivators. In eras ~
districts the plants are still small hr,
healthy, and making great propress
with recent cultivation. The onI1
complaint of drouth comes from cen
trail and southwestern Texas, from tbe
Colorado to Guadalupe. A few coun.
ties in South Carolina and GeorO;s
report the present need of rain. TIA
recent distribution of moisture hos
been unequal. Adams county, Mis-.
sissippi, has had showers daily for Tho
past five weeks, and Pike county Fl,
six to eight weeks. The general Az.
erage condition advanced from SO n
80. Last July there was an improve.
ment of 8 points, from 80 to 95. Re.
turns for July since 1870 have indi.
Gated higher condition than in June,
except in 1871, 1878 and 1879. The
spring weather was too variable in
temperature and moisture, as it us.
ually has been in former years, for the
highest condition of the plant. The
only retrogade reported is for Arkan.
sas, where the loss is 8 points, made
from excessive rains, cold nights and
injuries from chinch bugs, red ants
and rust. There is promise of i'm.
provement during July again. Ten
points have been made in the north.
ern zone-North Carolina and Ten.
nessee; Texas, 8; Mississippi, 2;
Virginia, 1; Florida, Alabama and
Louisiana stand as in June. The Ju.
ly state averages are as follows: Vir.
ginia, SO; North Carolina, 80; South
Carolina, 81; Georgia, SO; Florida, 95;
Alabama, 81; Mississippi, SO; Louisi.
ana, 81; Texas, SO; Arkansas, 81;
Tennessee, SO. Worms have wrought
little injury as yet. The caterpillar
has appeared at few points from
South Carolina to Texas. In Butler
county, Alabama, the second brood Of
worms appeared June 20. The boil
worm is at work in Denton county,
Texas. Picking will commence in
southwestern Texas about July 20.
There has been some Improvement
in winter wheat in Connecticut, New
York, Virginia, South Carolina, Tex
as, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas and California, which
advances the general average Of the
condition from rs to 70. The spring
wheat average has advanced from 50
to 100. Indications for July point to
winter wheat crop of fully 100000,
900 bushels, and predict 125,OOO,oOO
of spring wheat.
The area OF the corn crop has been
increased about 100000 acres.

The Life OF Man.
Robert j. Burdette

Man, born of woman, is OF few
DAYS and has no teeth. And, indeed,
it would be money in his pocket
sometimes if he had less of either.
AS for his days, he wasteth one
third of them; as for his teeth, he has
commissions when he cuts them, and
as tine last one comes through, lo!
the dentist is twisting the first one
out, and the last end OF that mans
law is worse than the first, being full
of porcelain and roof-plate built to
hold blackberry seeds.
Stone bruises line his pathway to
manhood; his father boxes his ears
at home, the big boys cuff him on the
play grounds, and the teacher whips
him in the school room. He buyeth
Northwestern at 10; when he hath
sold short at &C, and his neighbor
unloadeth upon him Iron Mountain
at 63a, and it straightway breaketh
down at 624. He riseth early and
sitteth up late that he may fill his
barns and storehouses, and 10! his
childrens lawyers divide the spoil
among themselves and say "Ha, ha. !"
He growleth and is sore distressed be-
cause it raineth, and he beateth on
his breast and sayeth "My crop is
lost!" because it raineth not. The
late rains bliteth his wheat and the
frost biteth his peaches. If it be so
that the sun shineth among the nine.
ties, he sayeth, "Woe unto, me for l
PERISH" and if the northwest wind
sigheth in forty-two below, he crieth
"Would I were dead!" If he wear
sackcloth and blue jeans, men say
HE is a tramp" and if he goes forth
shaven and clad in purple and fine
linen all the people cry Shoot the
dude!" ...
He carryeth insurance for twenty
five years, until he has paid thrice
over for all his goods, and then he
letteth his policy lapse one day, and
that same night fire destroyeth the
store. He buildeth a house in Jersey,
and his first born is devoured by mos
quitoes; he pitcheth his tent in New
York, and tramps devour his sub
stance. He moveth to Kansas and g.
cyclone carryeth his house over into
Missouri, while a prairie fire and ten
million acres of grasshoppers fight
for his crop. He settleth himself in
kentucky, and is shot the next day
by a gentleman,a colonel and states
man, Because sab, he resembles sab,
man, sab, that he didn't like sab. !"
Verify, there is no rest for the sole of
his foot, and if he had it to do over
again, he would not be born at all,
for the day of death is better than
the day of ones birth,
