The Buzzard Dance.
Macon Telegraph.

We were on the Hueuenin plantation,
in Sumter county, a modest farm of
5000 acres. The manager walked to
the end of the yeranda and gave a
whoop. An answering shout was heard
and in few minutes long line of
dusky forms came stealing through the
shadows of the pines and ranged them
selves in front of where he sat. The
song began and the musicians commen-
ced to pat Suddenly into the centre of
the open ring leaped the table dancer
who was to personate the buzzard.
Though dancing in perfect time to the
wild but musical accompaniment, he yet
to initiate With marvellous ex-
actness every movement of the uncouth
bird he had chosen for his model Its
lettering tiptoeing gait was faithfully
delineated, as were also its sudden
springs from right to left, its timid APP
proach, its ravenous peck and sudden
retreat from the craved but dreaded
carcase, which in his homely drama, was
by a hat that looked indeed
rs if the buzzards had been after it.

A Lady Master of Arts.
York Evening Post.

For the first time in England a lady
has attained the degree of Master of
Arts. Miss Mary Clara Dawes passed
her matriculation examination in jan
uary, 1879, gaining the thirty-seventh
place in the Honors Division. Last
year, at the B. A. examination, having
obtained place in the first division at
the pass examination, she gained also
honors in classics, with the first place in
the second class. AT the examination
Just concluded she is placed fourth in
the list Of Masters of Arts of the year
who have taken the degree in the first
branch of examination that is in clas-
sizes with ancient and modern history.
The two other branches are mathematics
with natural philosophy, and mental
and moral philosophy with political
economy, although the ladies have as
yet only one M. A., fifty of them have
obtained the degree of Bachelor of Arts,
three that of Bachelor of Medicine, and
eight the degree of Bachelor of Science.
No lady has vet attained to the doctor
ate. The ladies who have passed the
naturalization examination amount al
ready to several hundreds. ~

Care of Sick Patients
Health and Home.

To be a good nurse requires rare
combination of excellencies in the
same Neutrality-suspicious., physical
strength, kind disposition, with firm
ness, light hand and feet, courage
greater than that which animates the
soldier on the battlefield, and above all (,
untiring patience. Given these, and
the nurse becomes more than half the
remedy; not only inspiring confidence
en- the part of the patient, but of the
surgeon or physician also, who can rely
that his instructions will be carried out
with implicit obedience to the letter.
Such paragon, however, is rarely to
be met with, except as an emissary from
one or another Of those admirable in
situations where ladies are trained under
skiIlful management for this work; and
in vast majority of cases, an invalid is
placed in the hands of his immediate
friends and relatives, who with the best
intentions, it must be confessed, often
prejudice his comfort and retard his re-
covery by the very over anxiety that is
bred of affection.
That door has much to answer for.
If it be visible from the bed, people open
it cautiously, put their heads in, and
slowly withdraw again. If, as is more
frequently the case, it is screened by
the bed curtains, mvsteriou: openings
and shuttings are heard, unattended
with any apparent ipgress or egress,
and soto voce colloquies going on out
side. When you enter. do so honestly
and at once. Do not spend five minutes
in turning the handle, like house
breaker, thereby producing series OF
| irritating little clicks, finally terminal
ing in big snap, with which the door
flies open. If the latch be at all rusty,
handle that is slowly wound back in
this way will often stick, and either re-
quire to be ratified back in position, or,
| if left as it is, may start back suddenly
after a time, of its own accord with a
report like pistol shot.
While talking to him it is better to
sit by the side of the bed and as near
the pillow as possible, so that you may
converse easily, while your face and
body are turned in the same direction
as his. By this means you can make all
necessary observations of his features
without enforcing the arrest of his eyes
to your own, which is so embarrassing
and disagreeable to one lying in bed
and is almost unavoidable when facing
him. Keep him in as comfortable 3
position rs possible, by all means, but
don't be too demonstrative in smooth.

Kate Fields Peril.
Chicago News.

Miss Kate Field hurried through Chi

that she would remain here fortnight,
and her friends and admirers were max

with fiattering attentions during her
stay. Contrary to all expectation she ar
rived in Chicago one day and departed

explanation tina. Miss Field is in constant
terror of her life. being oppressed by the
dreadful suspicion that she is Swallowed
by Danites who seek her death. She
spent six months in Utah preparing a
work of the horrors Of Mormonism. and
very foolishly she announced while in

the severest blow ever aimed at poly
gamy. From that moment till she depart
ed from Utah she was in constant receipt
of threatening letters, and when she set
out for Denver. Governor Murray pro-
vided her with two detectives as travel.

week an attempt was made to wreck the
train on which Miss Field was proceed
ing eastward. Five men are under ar
rest for the crime, and admitting that
they live in Utah they confess that the
deed was prompted by desire for Miss
Fields life. The brave young authoress
desires to get her manuscript in the
hands of publisher and then she will
feel comparatively easy.
II am satisfied" she says, "that the
Danites have sworn to kill me; know
they are logging me all over the country

A MILKMAID IN T9P-BO8TS.
Something Concerning a Young Woman
Who Turned Mariner.

A wealthy farmer in Rutherford coun-
ty not long since was applied to by a
good-looking lad for work, the boy say
ing that he preferred to drive harvest
er or a wagon or do other light work
about the farm. The applicant looked
so delicate that the farmer refused the
request, but gave the lad the name OF
farmer in an adjoining county, who want
ed a boy to milk COWS. The situation
was sought and the lad taken on trial.
The two farmers met few days since,
IN Nashville, and got to talking about
the lad. Said the employer of tie boy.
"He is the best mixer | ever saw, and
can get more milk from the cows than
any one l ever had before him. He at
tends strictly to business and suits ne
first rate, but Pm afraid he is going to
create a sensation yet"
Being pressed by his friend, the farm
er was compelled to admit that his wife
had discovered, through the merest accl-
dent, that the supposed boy he had en-
ployed to milk the cows was a woman.
"When / found it out told my wife the
girl would have to go, as 1t would never
do to have our neigbbors know we had
a woman parading around the farm in
top-boots. MY wife told me she didn't
think ANYBODY else would ever find it
out. and it was worth while taking the
chances on it, as the lad suited us so
well: l liked George and took my wife's
advice, and l think she will be able to
stay with us and wear mems clothes rs
long as she wants to.
"She lived up in Indiana and had
heard about Middle Tennessee, where
you could throw your hat on the ripen-
ing wheat and it would bear it up, it was
SO thick and strong; so she determined
to come down here and get work on a
farm, where she could work in the open
air nearly all the year round. 1t was
then that she determined to carry out a
long-cherished plan, that of assuming
the garb of q man, which added so much
to her independence in seeking situa-
ton. And you ought to see her-my
| mixer. She's dandy, l can tell you
She weighs about l40 pounds, is large
| for a woman, being about five feet eight
Her hair is black, and she parts it on
the side and wears it very short. She
has large feet and hands and wears kid
boots two sizes too long for her. She
has round face and roguish twinkle
in her large black eyes, and her cQarse
shirt is always kept buttoned around hei
neck well-shaped neck.
When / tell you she wears wide
brimmed coarse straw hat on the back
of her head, and tight fitting green jean:
pants thrust loosely in the top of hel
coarse boots, always has kind WORD
and joke for everybody and is very
much liked by my wife, l leave you moth
ing to add to the picture" Nashville

A Variety Of Queer Stores Fuond In Our

There was an amusing scene in real
estate Office the other day. An aged
couple had sold small piece of property
and were present to sign the deed and
receive their money. The coin, amount
ing 10 $4,000, lay upon the table. The
husband affixed his signature. Now,

ing over the pen. Bridget eyed the deed
and the money for a moment, and them
fixing her arms akimbo, looked her bet
ter half squarely in the face and said res
foluteiy: The divil bit O. me will sign
till get half the money" The husband
was staggered, but soon recovered him
self, and leading Bridget into corner
began TO expostulate with her. 1t was
no use. After ten minutes of unsuccess-
full wheedling the real estate agent had
to divide the money into two equal piles.

the POWER OF BANANA PEEL
The Quick wit Of Little Darkey In a
Great Emergency
N. Y. Sun.


A long yellow ice cart, heavily laden,
slid yesterday into the gutter in Cham
bers street near West Broadway. The
rear wheel stuck firmly against the curb.
The driver dashed his borses and swung
them around, but to no purpose. Ingen-
ious philanthropists offered all kinds of
suggestions, patted the trembling, sweat
ing horser, and some put their shoulders
to the side IF the truck, but without
avail. The off rear wheel would not
turn. A bare-footed little colored boy
had watched the proceedings with a
child-like look of sympathy for the over
strained animals. He suddenly ran
down Chambers street and returned
painting, carrying in his arms a lot of
banana pecls. .re-
Say, boss" he called to the driver,
"I'll make yer wheel turn with these
ere, if yer'll let me put 'em down."
"All right, sonny" said the driver.
The little darkey sprang under the
wheels, and carefully laid down the
skins. He pressed some close to the
curb, where the wheel was jammed.
Then he sprang back and shouted,
Now, DO s; pull away"
The crowd laughed; the driver pulled
tsRt his lines and gave his horses a lash.
The animals sprang forward, the wheel
glided along the layer of banana peels,
and the heavy wagon rolled out OF the
gutter. The on-lookers cheered as it
drove away.
"Oh," said the little darkey, give seen

HEAT THAT Is HEAT.

A Visit to Melted Man Who 10 at Work
ON Curious Problems.
New York Letter In Boston Journal.
/ called upon the venerable Ericsson
yesterday, the builder of the Monitor,
to find out how the sun engine, upon
which he has been working for so many
years, was getting on. Ericsson still
lives in big oid-fashioned house at No.
SO Beach street. When not employed
in devising his tremendous engines of
marine warfare, of which the Destroyer
is the last work, he has been trying to
make sun engine which would do prac-
teal work at cost which would make
it of use in climates where the sun was
hot and coal scarce. His sun engine, as
completed last year and employed in
pumping water in the rear of his house,
ne pronounces TO be a practical affair,
which will do valuable work in the trop-
les. His last three years havs been de.
voted to the more purely scientific prob
lem of determining the temperature at
tiiC oulfdSO Va thO SUM- W
thousands OF observations he has made
and the hundreds of calculations of ex-
IRENE nicely he estimates the heat of
the sun at l.303, $40 degrees Fahrenheit,
a temperature the mere mention of which
makes our complaints over to-day's 95
seem very unreasonable ; and even $685.
$40 degrees is not quite enough tor the
Captain, who says that he has omitted
from his calculation several factors which
will make the sun out to be good deal
hotter than that.
Captain Ericsson is in his eighty-sec-
,nd year, but no one watching him at
work or hearing him talk would take
nm to be more than sixty, and a we'll
man at that. His movements
re as quick as those of a boy. He al.
Ways runs up stairs whenever be wants
