The Blue Grass country.
Harper's Magazine.

HarperS magazine.
The blue grass country IL reached by
traversing central Virginia and Ken
lucky along the line of the picturesque
Chesapeake & Ohio railway, unless, in
deed, one prefers the swift and solid
Pennsylvania route to Cincinnati, and
drops down to it from the north. On
this particular journey, at any rate, 1t
was reached past the battlefields and
springs of Virginia, and up and down
the long slopes of the Blue Ridge and
gorges of the Greenbrier and Kanawha,
in the wilder Alleghenies. 1t is found
to be little cluster of peculiarly favored
counties in the center of the state.
Marked out on the map, it is like the
kernel, of which Kentucky is the nut;
OF. like one of those ''pockets'' OF pre-
cious metals happened upon by miners
in their researches. The soil is of a
rich fertility, the surface charmingly
undulating. Poverty seems abolished.
On every hand are evidences of thrift
corresponding with the genial bounty of
nature. A leading crop in times past
has been hemp, and land that will grow
hemp will grow anything. This is
being more and more Withdrawn in
favor of stock-raisings exclusively, but
the tall stacks of hemp, in shape like
Zulu wigwams, still plentifully dot the
landscape.
One drops into horse talk immediate
" on alighting from the train at Lex
ington, and does not emerge from it
again till he takes his departure. 1t is
the one subject always in order. Each
successive proprietor, as he tucks you
into his wagon, if you will 90 with him
and if you will 90 with him there is
no limit to the courtesy he will show
you-declares that now, after having
seen animals more or less well in their
way, he proposes to show you HORSE.
Fortunately there are many kinds of
perfection. He may have the best
horse or colt of certain age, the one
which has made the best single heat, or
fourth heat, or quarter of mile, or
average at all distances, or the best
stallion, or brood-mare, or the one
which has done some of these things at
private if not public trials. Each one
has, at any rate, the colt which is going
to be the great horse of the world.
This is an amlable vanity easily par
doned, and the enthusiasm is rather
catching. A mans stock is greatly to
his credit and standing in this section
while he lives, and when he dies is
printed prominently among the lise of
his virtues.

A Thrilling Ride.

A party on the Rocky Mountain di-
vision of the Northern Pacific railroad
a few days ago had thrilling adventure
which they would not care to repeat.
They were on an oper car which was
standing still on an exceedingly steep
grade. Suddenly one of the gentlemen
saw that a train of cars was dashing
down upon them at frightful speed. 1t
consisted of an engine weighing $4,000
pounds and eight cars heavily laden
with IRON. There was no time to get
the party off the car, and to remain still
was almost certain death. With great
presence of mind one of the gentlemen
loosened the brake of the car, which at
once began 10 run down the hill. 1t
was now q race for life, and the ladies
of the party were almost wild with
fright. Soon the freight train caught
up with the car, but the velocity of both
being almost the same little damage
was done, and at last all reached the
bottom of the decline in safety.

clumsily and most moderately, and de-
vote his own time simply to overseeing,
idleness and country sports.
But little farming illustration from
real English; life will best illustrate the
point I have in,mind. Lingering, at an
old English inn, talked of the neigh
borhood farming with my intelligent
landlord. A couple of sturdy looking
young men in hunting suits, riding
whips in hand, came into the inn at 10
O'Clock in the morning to guzzle beer
a while. Landlord said they leased sn
SO-acre farm near by, on which were 40
sheep, 10 cows, and which
grow more or less hay, wheat, etc.
They paid f3 an acre rent. Did
nothing themselves. Hired help at Is
shillings the week, and were always
ready to join the hounds, if there was n
meet anywhere near them. A hard
mornings work for them was walk to
the pasture, to see if the sheep were all
right. In the afternoon they might
take q glance ut the growing wheat,
turnips, etc. In New England, two
young farmers running farm of eighty
acres would do about all the work them
selves. 1 have only time to hint at the
clumsiness of English farming methods
and machinery, as often, though of
course not always exhibited. l have
stopped by the roadside and looked
with establishment and amusement ut
the sight of three horses dragging a
heavy iron pillow, one man driving, an
other man holding plows moving at IA
snail's pace, turning the burrows in a
field where 4 New England farmer
would have done the same work alone
with single stout horse holding pillow,
and driving with reins over his neck.
So it was all round-two or three
men to do single mans work, and
teams of horses out of proportion to the
labor required of them.

A REMEMBERED TUNE.

MY hand went Ger the piano keys,
And 1t cnanced on song that yousang, my
dear,
When we roamed through the country still
nesses,
Or stood by the sea when the moon was
clear,
In that other year.
forgot the words you were wont to sing,
But the tune is sweet and tender one,
And sad as the thought of autumn and
spring
To one who dreams in the tender sun
That the sweet times done.
As play, the old hopes, the old sorrows
move,
And it seems almost that your voice
hear,
And my spirit has gone this day to rove
Down the inland way, by the far-off sea
OF that other year.
As bird that finds its nest
When the winds are over strong,
With quivering wings and painting breast,
Even so to-day this song,
Which your dear lips used to sing,
From the days long left behind
Enters now and folds its wing
In the still remembering mind.

Bricks impregnated at high temper

By driving out the air and water the
bricks will take up Is or 20 per cent. of
bitumen, and the porous, brittle mate

The Missing Link Outdone.
jacksonville (Fla.) Times.


Perhaps the greatest living curiosities
now in existence Ill this country will
pass through this city on their way to
Cincinnati and Louisville next Tuesday
About two years ago Mr.. Charles Lewis,
OF the Lewis Bros 'sBloOdy Knife
Combination Company" in passing
through the state, discovered, about fif-
teen miles below st. Augustine, fam
lily of white persons, consisting of John
Mcdonald, his wife and five children.
Two of the children he found To be half
human and half alligator. He at once
contracted with the parents to give him
the management of the children, and
agreed to pay them $50 per month to
care for them until such time HIS he saw
fit to take them away. A few weeks
ago Mr.. Lewis returned 10 the state for
the purpose of taking the children north,
and on Wednesday arrived in this city
to arrange for their transportation. He
will go to st. Augustine Monday after
the children and arrive III this city with
them perhaps OIL Tuesday morning and
will remain here about five hours before
leaving for Louisville. Mr.. Lewis does
not intend to exhibit them here except
perhaps to few friends and acquaint-
ances.
These children are now nine years of
age and have never been to exceed ten
miles from their home, and cOnse-
quently have never been placed on ex-
hibition. Their bodies, arms and heads
from the hips up are perfectly formed,
while from the hips down they present
the identical appearance of an alligator,
having "A perfectly formed tail about
five feet in length. together with the
hind feet and legs of the gator. They
crawl around on their hands and feet.
converse intelligently, and seem 10 en-
joy life very much. They live part of
the time in the water, which they en-
Joy very much, using their tails while
swimming, the same as the alligator,
to propel their bodies. They are
healthy, good-looking and well-de-
veloped children, and outside of their
love for the water their general mode
of living is the same as that of other
human beings.

Outrunning Death.

Philadelphia Times.
"Think of a man getting seasick from
riding on locomotive engine" said
Counselor Farley, who last week shot
down from Philadelphia to Atlantic City
at the rate of more than q mile min
ute to reach the bedside of his dying
child.
sSeasickness' is, of course, not the
term to apply to the disorder, but that
expresses it better than any other name
that 1 can think of. My ride created
the same feeling of Indebtedness that a
few hours on the ocean always gives
me, only instead of its being caused by
the rolling of vessel it was brought on
! by the pitching and tossing of a loco
| motive.
81 received telegram telling me of
MY child's condition about two O'Clock
in the afternoon. Every moment after
that seemed an hour. realized how
extreme was the danger, for had been
up several nights with the little one.
There was nothing but the locomotive,
and sat in with the engineer. Dis
patches were sent ahead ordering all
regular trains to run for sidings and re-
main until the engine passed. We
were about a minute getting out of the
built-up part of Camden. Then we
flew; but no rate of speed could be
too fast for me. As we wildly rushed
along we enveloped ourselves in
cloud of dust that was so thick at
times that / could not see half Il dozen
yards ahead. The whistle screamed a
note of warning almost every second.
Indeed, it seemed to my excited mind
that it was all one wild shrek, extend
ing from the Delaware to the sea. After
we had gone q few miles the engine be-
gan to pitch and toss, and as the speed
increased the motion became more yio-
lent. Now we seemed to drop into a
gulf, then to rear into the air, and again,
as quick as thought, to be in the act of
leaping into a creek. The trees and
fields and houses were like q long, black,
waving streak. / began to feel FAINT
and dizzy, and if it had not been for the
rushing wind l fear | must have swoon-
ed in that terrible cab. The engineer
was perfectly cool. He afterward de-
clared that never before had he gone at
so high a rate of speed for so great
distance. 1 told him of my feeling of
sickness. YES he said, Il have heard
of old railroad men tell how passengers
had been made seasick by fast riding,
but l never saw it before When we
struck the meadows and l got Whit of
salt air l braced up bit, but l felt
queer and unsteady on my legs, even
after we reached the station and had
alighted. felt as if l had just come in
on rough sea voyage. But | was in
time. l once more saw the light of my
child's eyes, fading fast, indeed, but
still instinct with life, and in that every
thing else was forgotten.

Clumsy Farming In England.

A correspondent of the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin thinks that English
farming is decidedly shifhess. He
says:
But let the times and seasons be ever
so good in England her tenant farmers
will not successfully compete with our
own farmers, unless they adopt a style
Of farming different from that which L
often observed there. The farmer may
BE the leaser of but small farm, and
