Mr.. cox's sOubriquet.

The Hon. tsSunsetn Cox in 1858 was ed.
itor If the Ohio Statesman, a newspaper
published at Columbus, Ohio. He earned
his soubriquet BY writing the following de
scription Of sunset. 1t was printed in
the Statesman, May 10, 1858:
"What a stormful sunset was that Of

FORGOTTEN Favorites.

The Critic holds that the popularity
of books is not a test of their perma-
nent value, and then cites some instan-
ces of proof: "Thus one of the most
popular writer's of our green and salad
days was Mistress Fanny Fern. Her
Fern Leaves had sale of nearly 100,-
600 copies, her Ruth Hall of IS 900,
and her Shady Side of $4,000. Few
books of their day equalled them in
popularity. But where, oh where are
they today? Out of print and out of
remembrance, every one of them.
Another famous literary woman of a
generatian ago was Fanny Forester-in
those days our literature was prolific in
Fanny Ferns and Fanny Forresters
and Minnie Myrtles collected
writings, in two-volume edition bear
ing the title of 'Alderbrook' had a sale
of 80 900 copies; and the biography of
the amiable writer found Is, 900 pur-
chasers. Still another widely-known
writer was Miss Cummins, whose
sLamp1ighter' had circulation of near
~ or quite 100, 900. Our fathers regard
ed 'Doesticks' as funny-and SO he was,
more or less-and bought n, 1000 copies
of his books; and to offset the account
probably, they purchased $4,000 copies
of that exhilarating work, Bent on's
Thirty Years. View and las. 900
Kane's Arctic Explorations. It is
quite true that these books are "out of
print and out of remembrance, but
they were certainly very valuable to
their day and generation.

Crossing the Atlantic.

Mr. Pearce, the builder of the Alaska,
the Oregon and other fast steamers,
has proclaimed his belief that the voy-
age across the Atlantic will ere long be
accomplished in six days. But this is
as nothing compared with the hope
which a Leeds gentleman announces to
an astonished world. He promises
when he has built his ship-to carry
people from Liverpool to New York in
three days. This wonderful achieve
ment is to be brought about by his new
aqua-aerial or wave ship. The aqua
aerial ship is intended for express, mail
and passenger service, also for I'M
armoreI war ships for which great
speed is desirable. The wave ship is OF
shallow draught when at rest. and when
set in motion it's draught is to decrease
with the increase of speed. Instead OF
blowing its way through the water it is
to skim along or over the surface. there
by avoiding the chief cause of resist
anoe to the progress of ordinary ships,
viz: Wave making. The resistance Of
fered by the water to its onward course
is thus to be reduced to minimum, and
the power uselessly expended in wave
making and displacement of water by
vessels Of the ordinary type is to be
wholly utilized in the increase of speed.
This is to be accomplished by making
tie bottom of the vessel series of in
clined planes placed one after the other.
Why not arrange to have the vessel
lift herself out of the water with the ex-
ception of the heel of her rudder post
and let her skim along on that? The
voyage might then, perhaps, be &C.
complished in few hours.

The Checklist Girl.

The Brooklyn Union-Augus has an
account OF the checklist" servant girl
on record. There are some in Troy
who nearly equal her, however:
Bridget Gildea, an eighteen-year- old
servant girl, sued Mrs. Edward RIVER
before Justice Courtney this morning
to recover SO, one months wages.
Mrs. Ryer said: cit took the girl
three hours to iron five pillow cases.
When would wake her up at o'clock
on Monday morning to do the washing
she would tell me that she didn't want
to get up before daylight, and the wash
ing could wait. I told her to press the
water out of some vegetables, and she
answered me: ooh, put them in the
oven to dry asked her what had be-
come of two breakfast knives that
missed, and she said she thought the
cat must have swallowed them. When
| told her that she couldn't go out on
Sunday afternoon she said she must
have the fresh air or she'd die before
she had time to get married. I asked
her to bake some biscuits, and she said
that she didt come as cook, but that
she could recommend me one. The trou-
BILE I had with that girl, Judge, was
running my health, and had to dis
charge her." Mr.. Ryer said that he
had offered Bridget SIS on account of
her wages, and she let the money lay
on the table. Judge Courtney took
this SIS offered into account and gave
Judgment for the other SIS for Bridget.

Unused to Swearing.
The New York Times tells this rath-

The New York Times tells this rath-
er good story of a lady who evidently
did not know the nature of an oath:
A few days ago two ladies called at
the custom house to see about getting
some imported articles out of the hands
of the government officers. They were
directed to the proper department.,
where courteous deputy collector in
formed them that it would be necessary
for the owner of the articles in ques-
ton to make oath as to their character.
This statement caused the elder lady
evident distress. She remarked un-
easily that she did not want to swear.
"The law requires that you should
swear to the facts, " said the deputy col
lector, as he proceeded to fill out the
necessary affidavit.
"But I cannot-I really don't want
to-" expostulated the lady.
"It is absolutely necessary that you
should" replied the officer, and he i'm
mediately read, very rapidly, the usual
form, land you do solemnly and truly
swear" etc.
"The lady cast an appealing glance
at the imperturbable officer, then looked
resignedly at her smiling companion,
and said: well, suppose if 1 must I
must, but the Lord have mercy on my
soul--damn it."
The astonished deputy collector ex-
planned to the lady the nature of the
oath required.

A Watchman's Remarks.

"It's curious" said the Waterman at
the Reynoldsville end Of the railroad
bridge to McKeesport News reporter
the other evening, it's curious to watch
the actions of people when they get
caught on the bridge. The men gen.
orally keep pretty cool and just step on
one of the piers, where there is plenty
of room; or, if the train is pretty close,
they stand on that iron girder that runs
just outside the ties. But some men
get so scared that they seem to lose
their head and don't know what to do,
and will run ahead of the engine nearly
the whole length of the bridge-which
they can do very easily as the trains run
very slowly over the bridge but they'd
run as if every minute would be their
last and they'd sit down here. all out of
breath, and say, "Great Heavens! that
was pretty close, wasn't it?' Now, if
they kept their wits about them and
got on one of the piers, they might have
saved themselves the run. And the
women! They drive me nearly wild
every evening. Some women don't
seem to have any more idea
how to take care of themselves than a
baby, and they ought to be treated like
one. The first thing woman does
when she sees train coming on the
bridge is not to do anything except to
stand as still as if they had the paraly-
sis land squeal like a drowning rat. And
then if some man isn't near to take care of
them and they are out of my calling dis
lance they do like some men, take to their
heels and run in front of the engine to
the end of the bridge, and as they can't
run as fast as man, why, the engi-
neer has to slow up and that makes
him mad, SO between us the woman
don't get mnch sympathy. And then
we have great deal of trouble with
children that wander away from home
and wander across the bridge. People
living close to the bridge should be
careful of their children, for nearly
every night there are three or four lit
tie bits of tads come wandering across
here and they are liable to get run over
almost anytime, for business is picking
up on the road and trains are numer-
GUS. Well, I have to light lamps"
said the Waterman, good night; and it
you get caught get onto the piers"

Giving property to former Slaves
Louisville Courier-Journa

Louisville Courier-Journal
Many of the owners of slaves that
were liberated by the war have kept
their former slaves as hired help. This
is especially the case in Fayette and
Bourbon counties, Ky. Now that the
slave-owners are growing old, and that
many d them are dying off, the cases
are numerous in which the former
slaves or their offspring are willed a
part or all of the masters property. In
some of these cases the colored heirs are
children of the white testator, but in
most of them, however, they are not.
This making negroes the heirs of white
mans property has given rise to litiga-
ton in which the validity of such an in
heritance has been tested. A case in
point has just been decided in the Bour-
bon county courts. The slaves of JOHN
Morris has continued to live with their
former owners after they had become
freedmen. Mrs. Morris died three wears
ago, and left by will to former slave
house and lot which she held in her own
right. Some of Mrs. Morris relatives
declared their intention to contest this
will Mr.. Morris, the surviving hus-
band, when he learned this, became so
much incensed that he changed his will
cut off from his surviving relatives al
most entirely, and willed the bulk of
his PROPERTY to his former slaves. Very
soon after this he died. James Morris.
q brother, contested the will, and Judge
French and o jury, after full bearing,
have decided il valid.

1t may not be generally known, but
1t Is nevertheless the fact, that the
United States is the leading producer
of peppermint and peppermint oil in
the world. It is principally grown in
the state of Michigan and in Wayne
County, N. Y. Our production of the
oil In 1873 reached as high as 10000
pounds. but in 1883 the yield was COM
puted as not more than $4,000 pounds.
This year larger acreage has been
planted, but prices have advanced on &C
count OF the decreased stocks. The u.s.
ual annual consumption Of the world
is about 100000 pounds, but it is ex-
pected there will be considerable in
crease this year, as also in other essen
tlal oils, on account of apprehension OF
choleva. Peppermint is grown to best
advantage in good garden soils, but re-
qulres an abundance of moisture. An
acre will grow plants enough to yield
from eight to fifteen pounds OF oil, &C
cording to the age of the plant and the
locality, and the price is from 1925 to
1915 pound. There are no large
farms entirely devoted to this product,
but it is cultivated in small quantities
by many farmers. 1t is used in medi-
cine, confectionery and for perfumery,
and is diluted with alcohol and water to
to make essence of peppermint. 1t is
also largely used by sanitary engineers
for testing joints and traps, few drops
poured in wash bowl or closet making
its presence sensible to smell at any i'm
perfect joints in pipe leading there
from, its pungent ordor not being ap-
parently at all affected by the sewer
gases. Peppermint is to a considerable
extent adulterated with castor oil, oil
of turpentine and Oil of pennyroyal, but
the authorizations can be detected with
out much difficulty.
