INDIANA STA. SENTINEL WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 1883

posed death of his wife. when he was inter
rupted by Warren, who excitedly stated
that Mrs. Goodman was still alive and resi-
dent Of Gown gton, Ky The revelation came
like thunderclsp on a clear, cloudless day,
and the shock nearly proved too much for
Goodman. Joy seldom ever kills, and 50 it
proved in this instance. Warren happened
to know the address of Mrs. Goodman, who
had never married and at an early hour in
the morning they Grove to the telegraph
Office and an exchange OF kilograms con-
firmed Warren's statement, that Mrs. Good
man was yet in the land of the living.
Goodman, accompanied by MS son and
family. took the first train for the East and
in due time arrived in Cincinnati. No pen
can picture the meeting after more than
twenty years separation, and the JOY that
came to at least two hearts after all those
long years of sorrow and pain.
The entire party passed mp on the steamer
Fleetwood the other evening" and happier
or more Joyous coterie was never seen aboard
that boat. The story was related to a re-
porter by Goodman pere himself, and il may
be we'll to remark here that Goodman is an
assumed name, but were the real name given
1T would be recognized as a strong one in
financial circles, and one that has been, and
is yet, prominent in the councils of the
Nation.

To telephone, or not to telephone. that's
the question. Whether il is better for tine
business man to bear the burden of exorbit-
ant charges for the use of the telephone, or
to take up arms against an allpowerfQl
monopoly and, by compact to do without
the instruments, end them. IT'S a con-
summation devoutly to be wished for, but
in the after-clap what ills may come to
harrow up the feelings and exasperate
the nerves of those who have no time 70

PASSED near, she did not move until she was
sure the animal had discovered her, but
merely crouchsd lower till he was past. Au-
dubon says:
81 have frequently approached within five
or six PAGES OF a nest of which l was prevl-
ously aware. On assuming an air of careless
ness, and ghistling or talking to myself, the
female remained undisturbed, whereas, if l
went cautiously towards it, she would never
suffer me TO approach within twenty PAGES,
but would run off with her tail spread on
one side to a distance of twenty or thirty
yards, when assuming stately gait, she
would walk about deliberately, uttering
every now and then a cluck.
A hen turkey, as the tine draws near for
the Matching OF her young was as faithful to
her trust as the 300 Spartans at Ihermopylp.
She would die rather than abandon them.
She would look on and see fence built
around her nest, and still not leave it.
When the time came for the brood to
appear, she would look anxiously at
the eggs carefully remove parts of the shell,
caress and wipe the young birds dry. and as
sirt them out of the nest All this wonder
full process was closely watched by the I'M
firing Audubon.
~ have seen them" he says, 'all emerge
from the shell, and in a few minutes after,
tumble, roll and push each other forward
with astonishing and inscrutable instinct"
While the birds were very young they
were exceedingly weak and delicate. If they
were once saturated with water, they seldom
recovered from il. The mother not only
guarded against this disaster with asiduous
care. but administered the buds of the spice
wood bush a medicine.
Audubon had wonderful gift or attach
ing birds TO himself. The feathery tribe
seemed to see in the kindly and sagacious
naturalist biped and a brother. In Ken
lucky he had pet turkey, superb cock,
which he had reared almost from the shell.
So tame was it that it would any one who
gave the turkey call" and it became the
favorite OF the village of Henderson. But it
was never quite domesticated, nor would it
roost with the domesticated turkeys in their
house, but passed its nights In lonely pride
on the summit of the roof OF its masters
house.
At last, its wild nature prevailed. After
many shorter flights to the woods, one day
it flew to the top of lofty tree on the bank
of the Ohio, and thence sailed slowly over
to the opposite shore. 1t did not return at
night, as usual, and for many days nothing
was seen or heard of it.
In the course OF the month, Audubon, while
shooting five miles from home, saw hand
some turkey walking leisurely along, and
ordered bis dog Juno to give chase and scare
it up into the air. The dog started off with
her usual eagerness, and soon got very near
the bird, her master waiting with cooked rifle
10 shoot as it rose.
To the amazement OF the hunter, the tur-
key showed no alarm at the dog, and Juno
herself, bewildeTed, came 10 a stop, and
looked back at her master for further IN
structions. 1t was the pet turkey, the dogs
familiar acquaintance. The bird was car
ried home on horseback, in front of a neigh
Dor who happened to pass.

One of the natural curiosities of fernando

half feet in circumference; from this height
to the top it has but two large limbs, the
lin BIS spreading out, and at the top measure
eighty rods across. On one side of this sim

which issues continual stream of cold air,
showing some subterranean connection that

An illustration of the ridiculous and an
noying way in which church choir will
sometimes run together the words of a hymn,
is afforded by the remark of a small boy in
one ofthe front pews OF a large and (alasl)
fashionable church in Boston. The hymn
beginning,
"The consecrated cross I'd bear"
had just been sung, and in the momentary
quiet which followed, the perplexed youth
turned TO his father and asked in an earnest
whisper, Say, pa, where do they keep the
coDsecrated cross-eyed bear?"

The monthly report made to the
United States Commissioner by the
State statistical agent, with 100 the
unit for good crop, shows the fol-
lowing condition of different grain
crops of this State: Wheat 1902,
corn 81, oats SO, rye, 81, barley Is,
buckwheat 96, potatoes 1O3, apples
Is, grapes 81. These figures rep
resent the average throughout the
State. In 100 replies as to the yield
per acre the following are the aver.
age results: Wheat 15a bushels,
oats 40, rye Is, barley Is. From
this estimate an allowance must be
made for the damage done by the
storm on the 21st ult., and the raw.
ages of chinch bugs and blights
which are reported from limited To-
caiities and which will reduce the
average of wheat possibly one bush
Ell below that given and about one
bushel greater than last years av-
erage.

heals the Republican breach in the
Granite State. Secretary Chandler
hastens to assure the President that
Senator Pike is all that the party
desires, and his election has reunit.
