AN EPISODE OF YE BLACKBERRY WOODS.
The scene is laid in the edge of the
big windfall where the Marienville
road crosses Cherry Creek and just
below said road. A party headed by
our friends Jackson and William and
among which there are two "small

their clothes in semi-successful attempt
to secure the luscious fruit of the
bramble, the while the woods are ring.

late, partly in consequence of the recent
strlngency of money, and partly because the
prospect of better crops Of wheat and cotton has
fastened the sale of the remainder Of last year S
productions of those staple articles. The ex
ports of breadstus, though still far behind those
of last year, show a small increase in May over
the same month in 1883 The pressure of sales
of produce, influenced by daily reports of crop
prospects, is probably the only cause that can
now give greater activity to business until the
new crops are gathered; but, with even an APP
proximate realization of present estimates as to
the crops of grain and cotton, business must
revive in the autumn, and the railroads must
have great increase of freight. and this means
an Improvement in trade in all departments.

The Kings Boots.

His Majesty Christian TX, of Den
mark, is not particularly brilliant
man, if all the stories told of him are
true. One day he went hunting near
Copenhagen and forgot his riding boots
AS he was in great hurry to get
them, he ordered his aide not to send a
messenger for them, but to have them
sent by telegraph. The aide informed
him most respectfully that it was i'm,
possible, to which the King replied
good-naturedly, 81 know it's not the
custom to send things that way, but
thought they would make an exception
with me-" He finally got his boots by
messenger.-New York TiiJune.

Counting in Germany.

In Germany the young man who
thinks certain young lady's father
would make good father-in-law, puts
on his best clothes, calls on the old
gentleman, and asks for the hand of
his daughter. lie never thinks Of
appealing first to the young lady. That
would be almost as great an offence
against good morals as it is for the
young lady to receive gentlemen cal
lers without the mother being present.
The old gentleman sizes up the young
mans pile, his prospects, and the
standing of his family. If these are
satisfactory, he is then introduced to
the girl as her aflianced husband.
Having a mortal dread of being an
old maid, she at once falls in love.
They now go out together, and act
just as spoony on the streets and in
public places as they are mind to
without fear of exciting special re-
mark, whereas, had they been seen on
the street together before the engage
,nent, she would have been dropped
from the rolls of good society, and
he would have been twitted and
leased by his friends until life would
have become burden. They 60 very
little on love, the whole matrimonial
scheme in all classes being regarded as
u business affair.

Writing With Both Hands,

A gentleman who knew General
Garfield tells this story: 1--WE were sit
ting in the office of the Secretary of
the Navy, waitingt to be heard on some
matter Of routine business, when
Garfield took his seat at a vacant
desk near by and commenced writing
with both hands upon scr;t ,h-rals on
either side of him. lie seemed to
write with one hand as freely as with
with the other. The only difference
was that the lines on the tablet written
with the left hand were reversed from
the usual order. The consequence was
that the writing on the left hand tab
let could not be read except by an eX-
pert, or by holding it up to q light or
before mirror. looked at the one
written with the left hand on its upper
SIDE and while the lines seemed re-
markedly uniform, they conveyed no
meaning, but, holding the thin paper
up to the light, | saw not only that the
words written were the same as those
on the tablet written with the right
hand, but that every popularity in the
formation of letter which was found
on the right-hand tablet was exactly
reproduced on the left hand. The
achievement was a marvel to me, as |
had never heard of it before, although
| have since heard that many people
do it, Garfield said that he often
wrote that way whenever he wished to
preserve an exact copy of what he was
writing without having a copy made
by letter-press,"

The Egyptian flute was only cows
horn with three or four holes in it, and
their harp or Tyre had only three strings
and was very small, being held in one
hand. The Jewish trumpets, that made
the walls of Jericho fall, were only
rams horns; their flute was the same as
the Egyptian; they had no other instru-
mental music but by percussion, of
which the greatest boast was the
psaltery, a small triangular harp or
Tyre, with wire strings, and struck with
an iron needle or stick; their sackbut
was something like a bagpipe, the tim
brcl was a tambourine, and the dulci.
mer was horizontal harp with wire
strings and struck with stick like the
psalt1ry. They had no written music
and had scarcely a vowel in their Ian
guage, and yet, according to Josephus,
they had two hundred thousand musi-
clans playing at the dedication of
Solomon's temple. Theodore Thomas
would have died in the greatest agonies
at such concert.-Ihe Eye.
