he Had 10 Cave In.

Detroit Free Press,
The railroad passenger who leaves from any
depot In Detroit must show his ticket at the
gate. The idea is 20 keep dead.heads or the
trains and prevent people from making mis-
ers don't chow up.
Yesterday morning n man with a worry, very
iron.Iaw, ana lots OF width between the eyes,
reached ono, OF tho gates with parcel under
either arm"
"ricket, cir"
SIN my pocket"
'show your ticket"
"Cau't you take my word that rye got a
ticket ?"
"Pleaso chow your ticket"
Gam n liar ?" demanded the passenger,
wicket, sir; show your ticket"
"Tll DO banged II do"
"All right; please stand back"
Look a.here," said the man with the
metal In his Jaw, "I'll stay here n thousand
years before I'll show my ticket at that gate"
dozen people laughed at him, but he let
the train go out, ana walked around with his
for long two hours, Then chap with a bat
tered white plug hat, rundown boots and las
years clothes, slouched up to him, held out Il
greasy paw ana said
"Pardner, put 1t thar Both OF us dead
broke. Both OF us want 10 get out o. here,
Both or us got left at the gate Pardner, I'll
toss up to SEQ whether you pawn your red
whiskers or ! spout my old hat for two
Tho wide.eyed man laid down his bundles
and Kicked tho other with such force that he
fell nat. When he had picked himself up ha
walked straight TO the gate, exhibited his
ticket, and passed through with tAgfstnark;
"Thero It ls-thyka It lstA1dt1ll beat the

Tho Mysterious Disappearance or
tho President OF an Albany, N. ",
Rank.
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 21.-The do ors of
tho First National Bank of this city were
not opened to-day. Albert Warner, presi-
dent, has been absent oyer a week without
leaving the combination of the inner safe
which contains the securities and vouchers.
Before leaving for parts unknown hc in
structed the cashier not to discount any
paper.
The cashier, who is also director, has
become apprehensive of trouble and with
the consent OF the other directors, will to-
morrow force open the inner safe for the
purpose Of ascertaining the banks condi-
ton.
Warner, who is sole executor Of tho i'm
menso Burrows estate, has always resided

ErsEMAN WINS AGAIN.
Judge Hngner Sustnins the Motion
of HIR Counsel.

Judge Hagner to-day heard the motion of
Messrs Leon Tobriner and A. c. Bradley,
counsel for Moses Eiseman, TO quash the
writs of attachment against their client In
two suits of Brennan, Heidelberg & Co. on
account. Judge Hagner's decision was the
same as that given in similar cases by Judge
Wylie two weeks ago duashing the attach
ments. An appeal was noted by plaintiffs
attorney, Mr.. N. II. Miller, and His Honor
fixed their bond at $4,000 in the two cases
from which decision Mr.. Miller also APP
pealed.
Judge Hagnor used some pretty plain
language in disposing of the cases against
Mr. Eiseman. He did not believe that a
man who had claim Of hundred dollars
or so against reputable meichant should
pounco down on him and close up his bust
ness in lily.
Judge Hagner appears to be right.

Every horse owner is more or less ac-

OhiccOry Farming.

Chiccory farming, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, promises to be one Of the coming
industries Of California farming. Chiecorv
was first planted in that State about fifteen
years ago, but since that time il has been
extensively raised on the San Joaquin aad
Sacramento rivers. Chiccory is cultivated
on a small scale in some Of the Eastern
States, and in some places in that section
grows wild in abandoned fields and orchards.
II grows very luxuriantly on the bottom
lands Of Louisiana and Texas The root Of
the plant. when being prepared for use, is
cut By machine into small square blocks.
then placed in the sun to dry, afterward
roasted, and finally ground in a mill. Chic
cory possesses few elements in common with
coffee, and yet it imparts a taste to it great
ly fancied BY certain coffee-drinkers in
Europe. In France and Belgium the COM
mon people have become so accustomed to
r,ix chiccory with the coffee they drink tina,
they prefer it SO prepared to the beverage in
its pure state. Travellers in Those countries
even when they purchase pure coffee for
their private consumption, find that the
cooks will mix ehiccory with it, even after
having received strict orders to the con-
trary.

sixty-fve Years Ago.

When ! was girl. sixty-tive years ago,
as general thing the farmers had very large
families; our family was large, most OF US
girls. We had to help father plant and get
The hay, and in the spring We had the tow
and the linen and WOO! to wash. pick and
send 10 the carding machine, aud when card
ed, the next thing was the spinning wheel
and the music Of the old hand looms in
manufacturing the fax and wool into cloth
for family wear. Thirteen OF us in the
family, and we had big sewing in the
fall to do, making our winter clothing. Then
father would fetch home a lot of Heather and
shoemaker u make up all our cowhide
shoes for winter wear. Then all the men
and boys wore buskins instead of boots. In
cold weather in the winter We girls had TO
20 mile and a half to school. The school
house with big Kinney and fire place.
was cold as barn, and We had TO wear our
cloaks and shawls all the forenoon to keen
from freezing. This is the way we got our
education. Girls winter dresses were home
made WOODEN cloth. sent to the mill and
colored brown and pressed, and hard COW
hide shoes, but the girls in those days were
robust and well, and very seldom ifever sick.
Our food then was coarse and wholesome.
Our summer dresses were calico. if we could
get them. but calico was scarce and very
high. The best French calico then was
forty-two cents yard. Girls wages. fifty
wears ago, were only 50 cents a week, at
Homework or spinning. The girls n spin
ming, we're to spin six skeins of yarn per
day and help milk the cows night and morn.
ing; all this for 80 cents week. well
remember all this, sixty-fve years ago. How
does this compare with the present day.
