Social Life at Vassar,

There is not much formality about
the social life at Vassar, says a Pough-
keepsie letter to the Harvard Herald,
as all the students live in one building.
There is always considerable fun and
enjoyment in the senior class, as a Ger,
tain corridor is their exclusive property.
They have class parlor, also sacred to
seniors, which is used as room for both
business and social meetings, and is
finely furnished. Outside of the senior
class, the pleasantest life is the parloI
life of the students. A few girls room
alone. but the great majority have par,
lors, five girls composing a family
each with her room, but all having the
same study parlor. The nature of the
girls determines whether or not the
room is really for study Perhaps this
system is conducive to cliques, but it
affords a good chance to learn humanity
and to adapt ones self to circumstances
Then there is the chapter life (neithel
very social or very Interestingly, the
spreads, much fun, but discouraged by
the faculty, and class and club life,
whose interest varies with different
classes. Vassar is divided into many
chques. 1t is not possible, it seems to
me, for any general sociability to exist,
for birds of a feather must flock to.

down town with the coon, secured with
a strong piece of Irvine, and in about an
hour he was found sitting on the edge
of the curbstone, holding the coon with
one hand and crying as though his heart
would break. A big heartcd gentleman
who was passing, stopped and kindly
inquired: Say, little boy, what is the
matter?' The boy wiped tear from

Concerning Certain Relics Of the Past-Dogs
that Have Had Their Day.

George Stephenson's Rocket and the mag
nifcent locomotives of to-day, are built upon the
same general principle, yet the machine with
which the great engineer astonshed his age, is in
terestng now only as an illustration of the begin
ming of the invention There were plasters with
holes in them long before BENsoN'S CAPCINE
POROUS PLASTER surprised both the public and
the physicians; and the triumph of the Capcine
is founded upon the partial successes, or the utter
failures of its predecessors. Everything of value
in the old porous plaster is retained in the Cap
cine; but at this point all comparison ends, and
contrast begins. For example:
The old plasters were slow in their action; the
Capcine is quick and sure
The old plssters lacked the power 10 do more
than to impart light temporary relief in cases
easy of treatment; the Capcine penetrates the
system and permanently cuIes the troubles for
| which it is recommended.
The old plasters depended for any good results
| they might attain upon an accident Of their max
ers aad thu naked faith of their wearers; the
Benson's reaches its ends by means of the scieT-
| tfc combination Of the rare medicinal ingredi
| ents which it contains.
In brief, the old plasters, like Sterhensons dis
carde engine. are switched off the track, while
the Persons goes on its way winning golden
opinions from all sorts of people.

Two ancient prophecies of startling
character are ripe this year. One is
from the writings of Nostradamus, a
French astrologer of the sixteenth CEN
fury, which may be thus rendered: '.In
eighteen hundred and eighty-three, when
woods in vernal green shall be, against
misfortune and mischance a lame map
shall protect our France" The Comte
de Chambord is lame. and may be taken
to represent the ''boiteaux The sec
ond blood-curdler is: when Easter
falls in our Lady's lap, to England shall
come great mishap. Now, Easter

in about a hundred years, on Lady

GOV. BUTLER'S NAUGHTY
NEPHEW.

The Washington corresponds
ent of the Boston Traveller're-
lates the following story of Col.
George III. Butler, formerly Uni
ted States Consul General in
Egypt, and now wagon-master
in the army. After his return
from Egypt he loafed around
Washington until, through Pres
i6ent Hayes, he received an ap-
pointment as, one of the chief
special inspectors of the Post
Office Department, and was as
signed to duty in Dakota. He
left his post in good spirits, and
kept a liberal supply of the same
close by him on his trip. On
the second day of the trip Col.
Butler met party of convivial
friends in the train, and the
orgie reached such q height
that at midnight he swore that
every man in the car should get
up and take a drink with him:
Those who would not comply
were pulled out of their berths,
and among them was a clerical
looking gentleman, who de-
nounced the entire proceed
ings in q manner denoting that
he was deeply offended. He
inquired of Col. Butler who he
was, and the latter being in an
extremely "mellow" state, told
him that his name was George
III. Butler, and furthermore that
he was a special inspector OF
the Pestoffice Departm n t,
bound for his post of duty. The
clerical-l0oking gentleman, who
evidently did not relish being
pulled out of his sleeping birth
by the heels at midnight, while
the train was travelling at the
rate of forty miles an hour,
proved to be Bishop Simpson,
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. At the first station he
telegraphed President Hayes a
full account of the affair, and
before Butler had reached his
destination an order overlook
him to return to Washington
at once, dismissed from the SER
vice.

COTTON FACTORIES IN THE

It In true that the establishing

The freight on the manufactur.

Truck Farms in the South.

Five years ago truck farming
was unknown in Georgia. Cot
ton was all in all and every foot
of ground was devoted to it.
But cotton planting has not
paid for years, and though it
was higher toned to be a plan
ter than to be q farmer and raise
corn, oats, truck, cattle, plan
ters got tired of seeing, rs each
year rolled around and brought
their crop and settling day, that
they were poorer than the year
before. Cotton and guano gave
the soil no chance, and they got
tired of whipping the exhausted
horse to draw q too heavy load
Small experiments, however, in
the last two or three years have
proved so successful that regu-
lar truck farming has taken
place all over this section of the
country, and prosperity bids
fair to attend the new depar-
ture. 1t would indeed seem an
absurdity to raise cotton at 8
cents aud pay rs cents for ba-
con. Some planters pay 5 cents
q pound in order to be trusted
for bacon from March to Sep
tember to the end of the cotton
year, and equally usurOus rates
for corn and other necessaries.
Truck farming is being encour-
aged by the railroads and the
press, and agricultural and fruit
growers associations are start
ing in various directi Ons.
