Grand Rapids and her sister city
Centralia, are showing evidences oil
new life this spring, many new build
ings are in course of construction,
and many old ones are being repaired
We reached the city Of Grand Rabids
late Saturday evening and going d.
rectly to that excellent hotel, the
Central house, we retired early and
did not look the city over until Sun
day. The Sabbath presents striking
contrast to the same day in Wausau
The business places and saloons are
closed, the streets are practically
deserted and the place has a far away
everybody gone to the picnic look,
that is lonesome in the extreme to one
not accustomed to that kind Of a
Sunday.
The churches were we'll attended
and in the afternoon the 6. A. r
Post held memorial services at Wit
tiers Hall. A sunday visit to the
Rapids gives but a poor chance to look
over her industries The down trai n
on Saturday arrives late and the
Monday morning train leaves early,
yet we saw and conyersed with a few
of her business men and must give
them credit for being hopeful, earnest
and full Of life, and we can't see why
any one cannot be happy and prosper
ous, if he is only Industrious in Grand
Rapids or Centralia Wausau Torck.

Crude Petroleum Paint.

We believe no one that has given
crude petroleum, either alone or thick
ened with mineral paint, a fair trial on
farm implements, fences, buildings, etc.
would ever be likely to give itup again.
Take an old wagon or cultivator frame
that has been neglected as regards
paint, and showing signs of giving out
and treat it to all the petroleum the wood
will absorb, going over the wheels sew
erel times, oil up the nuts and tighten
them, using wide washers underneath
anywhere where the wood is not sound,
and the affair may afterwards appear al
most as strong as a new one. Fences
and buildings kept properly painted
would last many years longer than if
not, besides adding to appearances great
". By thickening the oil with good
shades Of material, q handsome paint
may be made, and the cost be not more
than a quarter of that of linseed oil and
lead paint.-New Hampshire Farms.

Care of Yosuz rurkev..

From the Southern Poultry Guide.
Pen your turkeys about the time
they commence laying, and you will
have no trouble with them when they
want to sit. Do not take the young
turkeys off until twenty-four hours af-
ter Matching. Feed for a day or two on
bread and clahber, with onions and
lettuce cut fine; also red pepper occa-
sionally. I then give grits made up
with clabber or some milk in the morn
ing; bread, Irish potatoes and onions
at dinner, and dry grits at night. Ial-
ways give them clabber or milk to
drink.
Never let them out until 9 o'clock in
the morning until some weeks old. Al
ways drive and pen at night until six
weeks old. After that turn them out,
and they can take care of themselves.
Coops for young chickens should
have plank floors. Move the coops
every other day and clean we'll, as
dampness is the cause of most diseases
in young chickens and turkeys.

The Boys Soldier.

It was charged upon Napoleon, dur.
ing his last campaign, that he had ri.
fed the cradles of France to fill up his
army. Yet these French infants fought
at Waterloo, with the courage of vet
erans.
During our own Cival War, BOYS
served in the ranks of both armies, and
showed themselves heroes. The cool,
%unfiinching courage of "the Drummer
Boy of Chattanooga" has become histor-
ical, and the following anecdote, taken
from "Blue and Gray" displays the
grit of a Confederate lad of sixteen:
During the battle of Charlottesville

Things at Nassau.

Nassau, the chief city of the Bahamas
is, in II respect at least, in a pecu-
liar position. Being under the British
government, with agovernor appointed
by the queen, with o parliament anG
English institutions throughout, and
with its money always legally reckoned
in pounds, shillings aud pence, its only
regular and frequent steam communI-
cation is with New York. All her bus.
mess, or nearly all, is done with New
York. When her people want to make
q journey they come to New York,
Even ifthey are going to Europe they
come to New York first. Thus the PEG.
pie, while always thoroughly loyal tic
the queen and her government, are be.
coming every year more and more
American in their ideas and habits.
American currency has made its way tc
Nassau and has mixed itself up with the
pounds and shillings, till you never
know when a price is reckoned by
the shilling, whether an English shil.
ling or a York shilling is meant. A
| %greenback is just us good rs a bank o.
England note, and there is no discount
on either. The condition of things ii
almost as anomalous here as in some O.
the channel islands, which, while under
the authority of the British government
do all their business with Paris and ust
the French language. In the heart O.
the city, the appearance of things isde
cidedly foreign. Some of the building
there look like Quebec houses, Others
like Spanish houses, and others have al
English air. Over it all the white stone
and the white streets and the tropica
plants throw an air decidedly West In,

What Part of a Car is Safest?

Four men half hidden in the smoke
Of a smoking box of a sleeping-car on
the Hudson River railroad spent an
hour discussing which part of q car was
safest to ride in. They finally agreed to
leave it to the conductor.
"Middle Of middle car, right hand
SIDE said that parsonage when asked.
The rapidity with which he spoke and
the mechanical way in which he made
the reply led one of the men to halt him
US he was passing on and ask him to ex.
plain himself.
"Why," said he, Everybody asks me
that question, and / am SO used to
answering it that I've got it
down to the fewest words
possible. I shouldn't wonder if you
were to ask me that when I am asleep
II l wouldn't answer it without waking
up. The middle car of a train is the
safest because it is the furthest re-
moved from q collision either in front
or behind. Even if the engine plunged
into an open draw-bridge it might not
take more than q car or two with it.
Couplings would be likely to break, yuo
know. Always sit in the middle Of o
car, because when cars telescope they
are apt not to telescope many feet.
As you can't tell which end will tele-
SCOPE and as both ends may telescope,
take to the middle. Whatever car you
go in sit On the right hand side of the
the car, which is to say, the side furth-
est from the other track, because it
sometimes happens that freight projects
too far beyond a flat car and rips the
windows ont Of passing trains.n
do railroad men observe all these
precautions when they ride?"
THEY take 10 precautions at all.
Those that I have mentioned are sensi-
bic, but you can't always sit where you
like, and there are plenty Of people I'M
lucky enough to be killed wherever they
sit. Railroad men v consider the
possibility of accidents. They could
not be railroad men if they did."-New

How She curled Her Hair.
From the Providence journal.

pHS = ioShSo oob4h .
She was a very pretty girl, tastefully
dressed, and her brown hair curled and
rolled about her low white forehead in
a way that was enhancing, considering
how hot the weather was, andhow many
fair locks that had been curled that
morning were hanging in straight
strings over the fair owners eyes. It
was warm in church, too, and fans were
r~attling in every seat. There were lots
of flies about, but people seated in her
immediate vicinity were pleased to notice
that they all assembled and lowered
around the pretty girl, and only the
young man who sat beside her was
troubled occasionally by the little pest
erers that she impatiently brushed from
her face when they became unbearably
annoying. At the conclusion Of the
service the pretty girl and her escort
walked out with the rest of the congre-
CATION, and the young man was heard
to exclaim, "By George! did you ever
see SO many flies Nell?" And Nell re.
piled In smothered and remorseful
tones: did younotice them, Fred? ]
shall never try that again I curled my
hair with sugar and water this morn
ing" And then the flies discovered
their departing victim in the throng,
and with an exciting buzz made for her.

too Hy. s+

Mrs. Robert E. Leo to General
Scott.

Macon Telegraph and Messenger
The following letter from Mrs. Lee is
now published for the first time. Mrs.
Lee was well informed as to her great
husbands views, and would not have
sent General Scott such a letter had
there been such q scene as Gen. Town
send describes in his recently published
anecdotes:
ARLINGTON, VA. May 5, 1861. MY
DEAR GENERAL.-Hearing that you de-
sired to see an account of my husbands
reception in Richmond, / have sent it
to you. No honors can reconcile us to
this fratricidal war, which we would
have laid down our lives freely tc avert.
Nor car it ave terminate o till every
heart in the whole south ceases to beat
or they obtain the justice they demand.
Whatever may happen, i feel that I
may expect from your kindness all the
protection you can in honor afford.
More 1 would not ask nor expect. Moth
ing can ever make me forget your kind
appreciation of Mr.. Lee. If you knew
all you would not speak SO hardly of
him. Were it not that I would not add
one feather to his load of care, nothing
would induce nae to abandon my home.
Oh! that You could command peace to
our distracted country!
Yours in sadness and sorrow,
NJ. @. LEE.

A Drunken M

There is q pathetic interest about the
story Of Mrs. Wylie, a woman of wealth
and high social standing, who wa COM
mitted to a private lunatic asylum o
year or two ago as an incorrigible drunk
ard, and whose friends now make the
story public as q means of securing her
release. Unfortunately, such sLories
are not rare. It seems mistaken kind
ness to open a record which charity
would prefer to conceal forever. TWEEN
ty wears ago there lived in handsome
style in this city a welded pair who had
an income of $685. 900 each, and in all
respects were the envy of their friends.
He was the son of a Quaker merchant
on Pearl street, and she belonged to
one of the Oldest families in the city. A
large family grew up about them, and
as they grew up a habit of drinking
fastened upon both father and mother.
The would sit at the table daily and
drink to iBtoxication. Finally the father
died, but the mother kept right on in
her evil ways, and at last turned the
three Oldest children out Of the house.
In the end the coachman, an ignorant
but quick-witted fellow, got the upper
hand ofthe household, turned the three
younger children adrift and assumed
control. Friends frightened him away,
and, hesitatiang to resort to extreme
measures, they talked and delayed until
nearly all of the cllildren's property was
gone an d their mother was a wreck. It
would have been far better to have
placed her in confinement twenty years
ago than to have allowed her to exhibit
herself rs she sometimes does to old
friends-red, coarse ,~disheveled and clad
in torn rusty black-the sodden wreck
of what a once one of the most grace
full leaders of New York society, and
one of the inspiring spirits in church
circles.
