Scared hv a Fiddle.


Avery amusing scene, which illustrates
the superstition and ignorance of the
coloredpeopleo on the peninsula, occurred
in the kitchen of hotel at Milford a
few nights ago. A lad had been play
ing a few tunes on an old violin, and
the others had been dancing to his music
in merry mood. When bed time ar
rived the boy hung his fiddle near win
dow, and all were in the act of retiring
when low strains were heard to issue
from the fiddle, which was untouched
bv human hands. There was at once a
general stampede from the house into
the snow, and cries that the fiddle was
bewitched. One colored man said it
was the ghost of Samuel Mason, who
was murdered few weeks since at Mil
ford, and another declared that he had
recognized the shades of his dead father.
Finally the bravestpeered into the kitch-
en- and heard the fiddle still making the
mysterious sounds, and getting pole, he
knocked it from the nail and burned it,
just as our Puritan fathers of New Eng
land punished witches. But none of
the colored people would sleep in the
house that night. 1t is, perhaps, un-
necessary to add that current of air
was playing upon the violin. - Crisfeld

The bill appropriating $4,000 to
repair the canals of the State, has
passed the House by a decided vote
1t has yet to go through the Senate to
make it law. Some Of the members
representing counties not touched by a
canal, notably Locke, of Madison,
tried hard to beat the bill. Mr.. Locke
is opposed to canals and in favor of
railroads, simply because his county
has railroad and no canal. This ap-
pears to us to be a very narrow and
selfish view. The canals are State
property and the only question with a
member of the Legislature should be,
whetheri it is the interest of the peo-
pie of the whole State to hold and i'm
prove this property, or sell or abandon
it. Mr.. Locke certainly exhibited ig-
norance, or desire to misrepresent,
when he stated that the canals have
not increased the tax duplicates of the
counties through which they pass No
doubt but the railroads have increased
the property in the last ten years much
more than canals have, but when the
Wabash and Erie and the Mama, and
Miami and Erie Canals were con-
structed, the Northwest was a bowling
wilderness, the abode of the wolf and
the catamount, the increase of the
value of property on the duplicates of
all the counties from the Lake to Ham
ilton county on the Ohio river, was
marvellous. 1t was the canals passing
through it which developed the North
west. Each packet boat of daily
line of packets on the Miami and Erie
Canal, carried more passengers, prior
to the completion of the Wabash rail
road than were averaged by the pass
enger trains Of thatroad for Two years
after it commenced running. The
greatest advantage afforded now by
the canals Is the check which they i'm
pose upon railroad extortion. If the
canals have entirely outlived. their
usefulness, which we do not believe,
they should be abandoned, until it can
be clearly demonstrated that they are
useless burdens, they should be main
tanned. Toledo Dem.

Everybody can Graft.

Grating is not a monopoly of gifted
minds, or an art that can only be ac-
quired by the few. With the ordinary
amount of ''gumption' to begin with,
followed by careful teaching for only
short time, almost any one can graft
successfully. Grating is simply plant
ing cutting of one variety in the wood
of another, instead of in the soil. 1t is
essential that the growing layer of the
scion and stock come in close contact,
and be so held until they grow together.
Now is the time to get the scions. They
may be bought at most nurseries, and
great care should be taken to get only
the best varieties. If cut at home, be
equally careful to get them of the right
kind, cutting only twigs of last seasons
growth. A fine saw, two good knives,
one strong and heavy, the other small
er, with keen edge; u hardwood
wedge, six inches long and half an inch
thick; and small mallet are the imple-
ments used in grating. The wax may
be easily made by melting together,
bees-waX six ounces, rosin and tallow
four ounces each, over moderate fire,
stirring gradually until all is melted
Rolls of waxed cloth may be formed
from old cotton stuff made thin by wear
and torn into strips two inches wide
Wind the strips upon stick and dip
them into the melted wax; when the
cloth is thoroughly penetrated by the
wax, remove, let drip, and put away
from dust until ready for use.
Grating should be done as soon as
the buds begin to swell. Having de-
termined upon the place for the graft,
saw off the branch, smooth the cut sur
face and make cleft with the knife and
mallet. Cut the scion from the twig,
leaving two or three buds upon the
place, and sharpen the lower end into a
wedge. Open the cleft with the knife
and place the scion in carefully, SO, that
the lower bud comes at the top of the
cleft. The inner bark, or growing lay
er, of the scion and the stock should
touch as much as possible. If the graft
ed branch is small, single scion is
enough otherwise, put in one on each
side. Unroll enough waxed cloth to
cover the wound of both stocks and sci
ons, and press it on carefully and close
ly. The quick application of this pro-
lection is only matter of practice. 1t
is we'll for beginners to start with worth
less limbs before doing regular grating
in the orchard. If possible find some
one in the neighborhood familiar with
the process and learn the art from him.
The general principles may be obtained
from printed directions, but the success
of the work will depend upon the knack,
and that is only acquired in the orch.
ard.

Half q Million for a Chicken.

Gamhetfa'S Rrain

It is said that the size, weight and
general structure of Gambetta's brain
was more feminine than masculine. The
conyolutions are delicately and sharply
modelled, and there was not much space
wasted in cellular tissue. It was in a
most healthy state when he died, al
though his intellect betrayed signs of
fatigue. Dr. Broca, of the Anthropo-
logical Institute, holds to the opinion
that the decline IN intellectual power
was due to the asthmatic affection from
which Gambetta lately suffered and the
attendant COMPOSITIONS. The third con-
volution, in which the faculty of Ian
guage is supposed to reside, is of an alb
normal development. Were DR.. Broca
to have been shown the cerebral organ
of Gambetta without having been told
from what head it was taken, he would
have said that it belonged to a woman
who had well exercised all her mental
fecuItieS

lie Did Not Worry.
fFrom the Boston Adyertiser.


A well-authenticated case of unusual
longevity comes from New York, by the
burial there last Thursday of an Irish
American, who soon after New Years
celebrated his one hundred and tenth
birthday. He had long been janitor OF
public school building near the thepo
i lice headquarters, and was great favor
tie In his neighborhood. A daughter
| by his first marriage, who lived with
| him, survives at fOurscOre and ten; and
| by his second marriage two sons, past,
apparently, the limit at which the wise
said come F trouble and SORROW" Little
of these, however, seems to have visited
Bernard Doran, who never had an illness
requiring the aid of the faculty until his
fatal one. He did not emigrate from
county Tyrone until he was sixty-six
years old, and then after having been
born IN the reign of George III.-two
years before the Concord fight, and af-
having lived a subject of the graceless
George w., Doran at last abiured his
allegiance to Victoria, and voted IN the
"bloody sixth for Franklin Pierce. II
Prince Frederick of Prussia, who died
last week, Is referred to eXultngly by
devoteesa to tobacco, III that he smoked
dozen cigars daily for sixty years, and
died aged eighty-three, and if Peter Bal
lentine, the brewer of Newark (and
grandfather OF young Mrs. Frederick T.
Freling huysen), who also died last week,
aged nlnety-two, is quoted by drinkers
as one who during his long life lived on
lager beer, then against such examples
comes Bernard Doran, who never smoked,
and rarely drank. The secret of his 10
years of strength seemed to be revealed,
however, when to an inquisitive reporter

mise said, Faith and there never was a

A Boston preacher says that nothing
gives such a complete index to the char
acter of man as the substance he spreads
upon the icy sidewalk IN front of his
house. He who Uses sifted ashes is q
strict utilitarian, precise and hard in his
ideas, without much sentiment, and
prone to look to the end to be gained
without much thought of the graceful
ness or beauty Of the means employed.
He who takes ashes, half burned coal,
and incombustible Stag out of the CRATE,
and pitches the whole promiscuously
over the sidewalk, is a man who really
cares nothing for the safety of other peo-
pies limbs. He who covers the slippery
places with sawdust, which seems to az
ford footing, but does not, is cynical
and malevolent. He who strews the
CLASSY pavement with sand so iudicious-
u heated that it sticks to ice without
melting it is refined and nice in his tastes,
sympathetic in his disposition, and bulg-
ing with philanthropy.

Truth and Fiction.

The subject of Jules Verne's last
novel, Gle Rayon Vert" is a peculiar
natural phenomenon which he was gen
orally supposed to have evolved out of
his own inner consciousness, but a sci
enlist has since described the same phe-
nomenon as having been actually wit
messed by him. Verne lays the scene Of
it in Scotland, and relates that under
certain atmospherical conditions, but
rarely met with, the sun as it sets darts
his last beam upon the earth in daz-
zling gray or brilliant green light that
has all the depth and purity of an emer-
aid. The scientist confirms this account,
saying that the green rays seen by him
and his brother when strolling on the
seashore one fine August evening, and
that it resembled a flash from green
Bengal light of exceptional brllIiancy.

the means of averting a great calamity
at Hungerford recently. About three

Representation of "Little Red Riding
Hood" which was to be given by some
of the scholars. When the performance
was in progress it was observed that the
asked those present to leave the place at
once quietly, and this was affected as
rapidly as possible; and with compare
lively little confusion. Scarcely had the
last of the people cleared out of the
school than the ioists gave way, and the
floor fell to the room below. Some OF the
ladies tainted, but no personal injuries
are reported.
