Programme which IS being Ar ranger.
 Baltimore evidently takes mystic pageantry and it's attendant splen- dLrs with vim equal 10 that manif.. ested in Mardi Gras jollitjes in New Orleans, and an enterprise never be- fore equaled anywhere in such sort ef thing. The preparations; for this years festivities. which will embrace the three days from Sept ember, 1Ith to 18th inclusive, have already been actively under way for two months or more. In the way of 6 pageant, 1t would be difficult to imagine a more extensive or brilli> ant programme than tnat laid out. The number of tableau caTs will be double that ever before attempted in any single parade elsewhere, and in dimensions, gorgeous construction and superb finish will certainly bear off tue palm Of the world.
 The wonderful strides which have Of late been made with electric light will be turned to striking advantage s this character. Of illumination will be introduced in many novel forms. The first nights display, made in honor of the arrival of Lord Baltimore, will be as unique as it will be magnificent. 1t is proposed to arm the military with electric lights in at least ten different co,ors; to place the powerful electric focus light at many points; 10. fairly turn night into day, and in many more ways make the night memorable one.
 The featuce of this years Oriole will be the night displays, and it has we'll been termed a Summer Nights Carnival. As usual, the B. $ O. is foremost in making every possible arrangement for the trans pnrtation of it's patrons, and in no = thing will there be facility lacking to insure the utmost com fort ard complete satisfaction. The rates by ths Baltimore & Ohio Eill be down way down, and the limit of time on round trip tickets all the emost exact ing can demand IL will be well to iot down the date in some convent. 1 ent place-September i1th, 13& and 18th.

HassayamDa "Reminiscences.

Stage riding is always hard work, but one has to grin and bear It; so I made up ny mind to be as comforts able as circumstances would allow, and rolling myself up in my blank ets 1 prepared to go to sleep.
 But the two other passengers would keep talking and laughing, so it happened that while riding two years ago from Phoenix to Pres colt, on the Wickenburg route. l could not woo the drowsy goddess.
 They must have been old "Hassay> ampers," those two; for their yarns had Q regular California column swang to them, and they handled border fights with Indians. saloon shooting scrapes" and dance hall murders wi Il an ease and freedom only to be acquired ny & long resid- ence in Arizons.
 I should judge it was somewhere about five o'clock in the morning. as we were nearing the old town of Wickenburg, when one of them re- marked:
 "Ah, never pass this place with out recalling that story of the Majors"
 "What Major."
 :IWhv. Major O'Herus. Everyone who has ever been up the Hassay~ ampa knows him."
 Where did he serVe?"
 Il don't know. 1 think it was in the Black Horse Cavalry or Sud- Horse Cavalry, or something of that kind. Anyway, here's his story, as we were laying over

On 1 reaching Wicluenburg the team drew up before Peoples saloon and some ! of the boys came out and called the "Maje" 10 get down and have a Grink. This awakened him again from his brown study, but not so rudcly as before. He essayed to rise to his feet but found himself unable 10 move.
 "So help me God, gentlemen, I was glued to the spot; and the boys thinking something must be wrong came to help me They pulled me oct of that wagen-it took six of them-and damn me, gentlemen, if there wasn't al enormous chunk of ore pinned to the seat of my pants.
 When the Indians jumped us, one of their arrows had pierced tLc cloth, and irnbedded itself six Inches into the piece of ere on @hicn I was sitting"
 There was silence tten; but ct at length the other passenger said:
 "Did I understand you to say that the boys asked him to take drink and he still sat there.'
 "Certainly, those were his very words. What do you think of it?''
 II think that must have been thunderin' heavy piece of ore"

CREMATION has not, as
yet. come into popular favor in this
country, and it has made even less head
way in England. Eight or ten years
ago Sir Henry Thompson and others
established society to introduce crema-
ton into England. Some thousands of
dollars we're spent in the erection of q
crematorlum, but, down to the present
time, only one body has been cremated
and that the body of dead horse. The
residents at Working, where the crema-
forum was built, petitioned for the re-
moval or closing up of the furnace as
soon as they became aware of its in
tended use, but being unable to show
that it was public nuisance, their petit
ton was not granted. Legislation has
been had in England, however, sur
rounding cremation with certain safe
guards, which grew out of the COM
plant that the victims of prisoners
might be readily cremated and evidence
of guilt thus destroyed. There are a few
private crematoriums in England and
human bodies have from time to time
been burned in them. Sir Henry Thomp-
son is not discouraged by the lack of in
terest manifested in his undertaking by
the public, and he proposes to have his
establishment at Woking completed by
the addition of chapel, mortuary and
waiting rooms.

TWIN. EVEN TO FINGER JoINT.-Hen-
~ Bancroft, of Fullerville, has twin
boys, about ten years old. named Doll
and Lester. Last week Lester went into
Sprague's mill and put his finger on the
buzz saw to see if it was in motion, and
when he took his hand away he found he
was minus the end of finger up to the
first joint. A boy acquaintance, who
heard of the acc dent, met the twin
brother Doll an hour afterward, and tell
ing him the story said: Now you ought
to have your finger cut off. so as to be
like your twin brother" Dolls finger
was on board, and his companion, hav-
ing his knife out, without ceremony,
struck his finger with his knife and cut
off the end of the corresponding finger,
so that the twins are alike in the loss of
the first joint of the big finger on the
right hand.

Finding = Collar Button.

A Georgia man lost a gold collar but
ton two years ago, and recently the but
ton was found in the stomach of COW
that had been slaughtered. An exchange
wonders how in the world the COW got
under the bureau to get the collar but
ton. That is a question. Something is
singular about the fall of a collar button
or stud. Let stud fall on the floor IN
plain sight, and it disappears at once I'M
der bureau or bed, as If endowed with
life, and it is a most singular thing that
q man, however brave and noble ordina-
rily, gets mad and says very unpleasant
things. We have heard OF a minister
who left the ministry and went to keep
ing books for brewer, all on account OF
. shirt stud. He was getting ready for
church one Sunday morning. and was
standing in front of a mirror, in his UNI
dersbirt and pants, his suspenders hang
ing down on his hips, and his white
shirt in his hands, engaged in putting
the collar button into its customary
hole. In such moment as ye
think not his fingers became all
thumbs, and the collar button fell
prone on the floor. Not too much but
Just prone enough. The pious man saw
il giisten as it fell, and he stopped to
pick it up when it disappeared. He
dropped the shirt and began to look for
il, and as he paved over different kinds
of everyday clothes on the floor, and
could not find il. lac asked his wife why
in the name of the twelve Apostles she
didn't watch it. She said it WAS all she
could do to watch her own jewelry.
Then he asked her to help find it, as
as he had got to get To
church pretty soon or there
would be scarcity OF sermons
that day. She told him to get stain
rod and poke around under the bureau,
and she went on hooking up her corset
in the most tantaliziDg manner. The
pious man got down on his stomach and
tried TO feel under the bureau, knocking
the skin of his arm by the operation.
He got out . lot Of marbles, some hair
pins, . hair brush and piece Of hoop.

without the lost stud, and as the minis
ter heard the last bell ring for church,
and thought Of the congregation waiting
for him to give out the hymn, and saw
his wife, who had got almost ready for
church, sit down on the floor to pull on
her stockings, while he was no nearer
dressed than when he got his ears
washed, he was pretty mad, that is, mad
for minister. Like q man, he laid it all
to his wife, and asked why she did not
fly around and help him. She said q
man ought to be able to corral his own
shirt stud, and suggested chat hereafter
he tie n string to the collar button, when
she pulled off one little shoe that she had
put on, because there was something in
it, and as she turned the shoe bottom
side up, the gold stud fell out, and
she Helped him fix it in the shirt,
and he got into his clothes pretty quick
and very mad. He nearly tired his wife
walking to church, scolding her all the
way for not looking in her shoe at first
for the stud, and when he arrived at the
church door he was dripping with per-
SEPARATION. He had forgotten his hand
kerchief, and borrowed his wife's, wiped
the perspiration off, and walked down
the aisle as meek and pious as though he
had just come from missionary meet
ing, and he preached beautiful sermon
on Faith" and then resigned his
passionate and looked for chance to get
work at some other business. It is
singular that a little thug like the loss
of collar button should change the
whole course of mans life; but one of
the minister's old congregation who saw
him in ST. Louis few months ago, at
the brewery, says he thinks the elder has
struck his gait last. But we wander
from the subject.

As timothy grass seed, if sown at the
same time as winter wheat, is apt to
crowd the grain too much, the better
way is to wait three or four weeks, until
the wheat is well mp, before sowing
timothy. Sow just before a rain, and no
narrowing or bnshing will be needed.
