No chance for Repsrtee.

A very singular marriage was one
which took place at Leicester in the
year Of Queen Elizabeth s
reign. between Thomas Filsop, deaf
and dumb man, and Ursula Bridget, a
hearing and laxative spinster. As the
prayer-book required that the promises
Of marriage should be exchanged in
spoken words, the clergy and authorities
were unable to say now this dumb man
could be satisfactorily married In their
perplexity they appealed to the Bishop
Of London, who, with the help OF
another member Of the clergy, devised
marriage service by signs. The
bride made her promise in the usual
manner, and the groom did his part thus:
Having first embraced Ursula with his
arms, he took her by the hand and put
the nuptial ring on her finger. He then
laid his right hand significantly upon his
heart, and afterward, putting their palms
together, extended both his hands to
heaven. Having thus sued for the
Divine blessing, he declared his purpose
to dwell with Ursula till death should
separate them, by closing his eyelids with
his fingers, digging the earth with his
feet. as though he wished to make hole
in the ground, and then moving his arms
and body as though he were tolling
funeral bell. "--St. James Gazette.

A Farmers Narrow Escape.

While Farrier John Moorehouse of
Coytsville, N. j., was driving along the
Bulls Ferry road. above Gutenberg, the
other evening, two men Disguised and
heavily armed sprang from some under
brush, and while one of them held the
heads Of the horses, the other pointed n
revolver at the head Of the farmer, de-
manding his money. Moorehouse. how
ever, knocked the robber down with the
butt Of heavy whip, and the weapon
was discharged, the bullet narrowly
missing the mark and lodging in the
wagon. Both highwaymen then beat a
hasty retreat and were soon lost sight Of
in the bushes, while the frightened farm.
er whipped up his horses, arriving soon
after at Kelly's Hotel, where he gave
the alarm, and Constable Cummings
with posse secured the vicinity for the
highwaymen. A trail Of blood was fol
lowed from the scene to the river side
where IL was evident the robbers hae
made their escape in skiff to this city

Gone Back TO His Cave.

Austin Sheldon, the famous old hermit
of Pike county, Pa, who three months
ago abandoned his cave in the rocks.
where he has lived for forty-three years,
to 60 to Connecticut, where wealthy rel
atives were TO care for him, has returned
to his den in the rocks. The old man,
now SO, says he cannot stand the frivol-
ity and worldliness Of life among men,
and he has returned to die in the sol.
itude by which for SO many long years
he has been surrounded. Sheldon is a
quiet student Of the Bible and repeats
whole pages with remarkable facility. 1t
is said he was Tilted early III life, and
this sorrow led him to become hermit
after ten years wandering over the en-
tire continent. He is an intelligent and
learned man, although blacksmith in
his youth. He has no bed in his cave.
but always sleeps in an old rocking chair.

the western man shouts "here" boldly

fruit thus prepared. We now have APP

fruits and many vegetables are either
dried or canned. These. too. branch
off into numerous varieties. there being
cherries, both pitted and unpitted. and
peaches, pared and impaired. as well rs
being cut into quarters. eighths and
halves. Various STYLES of drierS have
been patented and invented. which en-
able the fruit grower to utalizs vast
quantities of surplus stock which would
otherwise decay and be totally or par
tally lost. The beauty of thus being
able to secure the fruit crop is that it
permits the grower to make his entire
crop, no matter how large, turn to ac-
count, and it enables him to put it into
o shape where it may be handed and
shipped to remote parts of the globe.
and to quarters where climatic cOndi-
tons forbid the growing of fruits. and
it also bridges over the seasons so that
there is no interim when any kind If

well as to older persons, it is I'M

"What style or how many styles of
riding prevail here??"
The style we like best is the park,
though of course many desire to acquire
the English ~crosS-country style. The
park seat is the prettieSt and easiest for

horseman rides with a long stirrup and

the rider send the foot home in the stir
rup, which must therefore be 4 short

the body backward. 1t is much affect
ed by the more competent horsemen.
Fancy riding is also greatly INDUCED

into favor. too, and L think we shall
soon have as many artists in the saddle

Save the House Stops.

Because no absorbing material is at
hand to be employed as an absorbent
Of house Stops they need not 90 to
waste. A good sound economy requires
that all that possesses manurial value
should either be husbanded for future
use or else applied where it ut onc be-
comes available as plant food. 1t is
questionable whether it is advisable to
pillow into the soil anu that is not
10 be made available by the immediate
planting of the crop. If the generation
of ammonia by the decom, osition of
decayed turf-land causes its loss if no
crop is growing. would not the same
thing occur in the decomposition of
manure? Or. again. descending water
carries with il the fertilizing salts that
are dissolved and so are going deeper
and deeper into the soil when plowed
under. for which reason it is better to
spread manure on cultivated land at
rest upon or. at least, very nea the
surface.
An application of Stops that become
at Onc available is valuable either to
the growing crops in summe-. OF upon
the surface of the garden or moving
land in winter. 1t is surprising what
nm invigorating effect results from
throwing the Stops of the wash-tub
ipOn plants in the summer season. An
ordinary flower-garden may be kept in
the most thrifty condition by this means
alone; and SO, too. may the products of
the vegetable garden be made 10 -four
ish by a weekly watering from tho
waSh-tub.
A farmer. who grows a quantity of
onions every year, has a patch of
ground near his house which he devotes
to onion raising. and it is almost en-
tirely fertilized by the throwing upon it
during the winter season the Stops and
urine from the chambers. Instances of
this kind serve an important purpose in
showing the value Of products of the
house that are pretty generally thrown
away as of NO value and so useless.
But let farmers try an experiment and
they will be satisfied of the value hidden
there.-COnnccticut Cor. Germantown

Friend or Foe.

Last night the talented Irish comedian
w. j. Scanlan opened an engagement at
the Richmond Theatre with the presenta-
ton OF Bartley CampbelPs drama, "Friend
or Foe" 1t was the first time this play had
been seen here, but II was plain that it win
he popular. As presented by Mr.. Scanlan
there is patent a vein OF refined humor and
genuine sentiment, 10 say nothing OF real
Irish wit, running through II, which will
be sure TO please the apprecative listener.
The situations are startling and varied,
and while there is no great depth in the
plot, the lack OF such a thing becomes u
merit under the pleasurable effect pro-
duced in the natural and life-liEe scenes
represented. The play represents occur
rences which took place during the last
FrancO-PruSsian war, and exhibits in
striking colors the aTdor Of the Irish.
their love Of country, and their willing
ness TO defend the right.
Mr.. Scanlan is an excellent Irishman,
and IN his portrayal OF Irish character
rises to the proper height OF leaving low
comedy and adopting the high. He is
graceful and attractive, and his songs were
so new and so well sung that he was time
and again made to repeat them. The COM
pany is good one, and especial mention
might be made OF Miss Florine Arnold,
who took the character OF Andrea. Nr.
Scanlan deserves all that has been said OF
him in the praise be has received for sing
ing Peek-a-BOo." 1t certainly Is worth
hearing.
To-day at the matinee " Friend or Foe F"
will be repeated TO a full house, and to-
night the company will present Fred.

in which Irish domestic life will be vividly
portrayed
