How Booth Stabbed RathhOue,

An Albany relative of the Rath-
bones tells the following story in re
gard to the colonies being in Presi-
dent Lincoln's box the night of the
assination. The circumstances that
led to their being there We're rather
curious There was to be special per-
Torrance at the theater-a patriotic
song was to be sung, [ believe-and
President Lincoln, Gen. Grant and
Mr. Stanton were to be present. Mr.
Stanton sent word that he could not
come Gen Grant was suddenly called
away from the city. and President
Lincoln was taken i'll on the after
noon of the performance. Mrs. Lin
coin thought she would be compelled
to occupy the theater box alone, and
therefore asked Clara Harris to accom-
pany her, which she agreed to do In
gers came to Mr.. Lincoln, and begged
him to go, telling him the entertain
ment would be failure if he did not,
as Gen. Grant and Mr. Stanton would
be present Mr.. Lincoln good -natured-
ly consented to 60 He and his wife
went to get Miss Harris; and finding
Maj. Rathbone at her home invited
him to accompany them When Booth
had fired his fatal shot at President
Lincoln, the assassin was seized by
Maj Rathbone. Booth dropped his
pistol and stabbed at Rathbone with
a two-edged dagger The blade of the
weapon went through Rathbone's left
arm, and nearly reached his breast.
He did not recover from the wound for
two months.

cost for US TO produce it upon our
farms, when we consider the location,
value and capacity of our soils. When
we attempt 10 produce that which is
their speciality, we enter into a most
rulnous competition to ourselves, and
so 1t IS with other products to which
eur soils are not naturally adapted.
Mixed farming has its advantages
IN some respects. If the farmer is not
too ambitious to make his one little
farm produce the fruits and grains of
all chimes and conditions. Where the
farmer raises, or rather attempts to
raise, little of everything, he is rea
sonably sure of succeeding in some
thing. In this way he may secure a
living, while it is very certain that he
will do no more. By dabbling in a
little of all kinds he may avoid spend
ing few dollars ia their purchase;
but where he saves CD one dollar ia
this way he sacrifices an opportunity
for making five, by devoting his land
10 such crops as it is best adapted to
produce.
In vegetables, fruit, rye, buck
wheat, beans, ets, there is nothing
like a sandy soil. 1t is also most ex-
cellent for dairying, sheep raising and
poultry raising. In fact, such a soil
offers just the right kind of chance
for small farming" as 1t is often
called, and there is more real comfort
and enjoyment in this kind of farm
ing than in all the wheat raising that
was ever carried on. There is profit
in this kind of farming, too, as is
amply indicated by the prosperous
condition of thousands of such enter
prises. The time is soon coming
when we must do much more of this
small farming than we do now. In
this line farming becomes an art and
science. 1t requires skill, expert
ence and good management here, and
there is room for the exercise of all
the scientific knowledge that can be
obtained
While intelligent labor is needed
IN all departments of farm work. the
ignorant poor is oftenest found fol
lowing the pillow in the wheat field,
and very appropriately too, when we
consider what failure he would
make IN the trait or vegetable garden.
1t does not require great amount of
skill or scientific knowledge to pillow.
SOW and harvest wheat, and when l
see a man doggedly pursuing that line
of farming upon poor, worn-out
farm, know that his mind and in
tellect arc just as limited as his in
come. His agricultural mind can
contain but one idea, and he can new
er relax from his agricultural dignity
sufficiently to even inquire into the
merits of small truck" as he terms
it.
Such farmers need lots of ROOM
and sincerely wish they We're all in
Dakota, or some other country where
they might be of more use to then
fellow-men than they will ever b,
here, and especially upon our sandy
| coil

A HOOSIER ROMANCE.
Some ofthe Particulars Of w hich Are
More Probable than Others.
Omaha RaDubIioon


Among the travellers who arrived
on the late train last night We're a
young man and woman who were on
Sunday last made man and wife. The
groom is a travelling man, Frank Ora
ham, who represeE is a Chicago house.
His bride is young lady of nineteen,
whose home was at West Lebanon,
Ind. The Chicago man was visiting
the Hoosier town in professional
capacity when he met his wife under
curious circumstances. He was on
his way to meet a customer of the
house when he heard an explosion IN
a dwelling along the road. He rush
ed in, and was just in time to seize
some bed clothing and smother the
flames, which were consuming the
clothing of young lady, the only
occupant of the room. After putting
out the fire and saving the house
from destruction, he called a physi-
clan, who did what he could to relieve
the sutferings of the young lady.
Graham was struck" and instead OF
leaving town the next day, as he had
intended, he remained until the lady,
he had 50 gallantly rescued. had nearly
recovered, when. as stated above,
he married her and the two started
West on the wedding tour. 1t was
curious fact that on the way to this
city telegram overlook them
announcing that the brides uncle
had died and left her $40, 600.

Central Park, New York.
Sew Orleans Times pemocrat.

One of the chief glories of New
York is its justly famed Central Park.
A description of it in type would fail
utterly to depict it so that the reader
could thoroughly realize the picture.
Its principal beauty to me is its happy
though artificial adaptation to natures
simplest yet most pleasing laws of
landscape gardening, and thereby its
delightful contrast to the artificialitv
of the great city that surges I'D all
around it, but whose devouring wave
is stayed by the slight wave of YER
dure which enriches the wide domain.
1t is truely a peoples park. The rich
ride in it and drive IN it. The poor
walk in it, and stroll in it, and sit in
it, and play in it, and lie down in it.

The SOudan.

Many people are at present puzzled
over the "Soudau. of which they
hear so much. They are not quite
sure whether it would betray an un-
pardonable amount of ignorance for
them to confess a general kind of
unacquaintedness with what this Sou
dan is and how far it extends. Would
it give these people-who, by the
way, need not be ashamed to confess
their ignorance-any kind of satisfac-
tory information to tell them that
Soudan is the name given by the
Egyptians to all their dependent en-
pire stretching from the third cataract
for an indefinite distance towards the
lakes, and from the Red sea to the
western border of Darfur2 This en-
pire comprises much OF Nubia, all
Senaar, all Kardofan and all Darfur.
1t is said to be about 1000 miles
square, or as large as India. This
vast extent of million of square
miles is said to be inhabited by about
100000 people, most of them Mus
sulmans and many of these of excep-
tional ferocity, fanaticism and daring.
Eventually, 1t seems likely, the Eng
lish will have to tackle this wild,
ferocious crowd, if it invade Egypt,
which is far from unlikely.

Plants in High Latitudes.

A Norwegian plant geographer,
Prof. Schubeler, called attention a
short time ago to the remarkable fact
that most plants in high ATTITUDES
produce much larger and heavier seeds
than in warmer regions near the
equator-an effect which he ascribes
to the prolonged influence of sunlight
during the long summer days of the
high ATTITUDES. in some cases the
difference of seed development is most
astonishing. Dwarf beans taken from
Christiania to Drontheim-less than
four degrees further Rorth-gained
more than 60 per cent. IN weight, and
thyme from Lyons, when planted in
Drontheim, showed a gain of II per
cent. The grain sin northern fields is
heavier than when grown IN more
southern localities, and seed from
Norway planted at Breslau decreased
greatly in TIE first year The leaves
also of most plants are larger and
more deeply colored in higher lati-
tudes. as was first noticed by Grise-
bach and Martins. The same is true
ot flowers, and many which are white
in southern climates become violet In
the north

ETIQUETTE AT HOME.
Ii should Not he Reserved for society
Alone.

The case and neglige of home often
induce carelessness as to etiquette, the
impression being that politeness and
polish are only needed in society. and
that carelessness of manner is appro-
pirate to home life. All such views
are erroneous. There is positive COM
fort in politeness, and etiquette is as
important at home as abroad. We
distinguish etiquette as the outward
expression of politeness. 1t has to
do with forms and attentions, which
are external. A lady in society is
treated with certain difference
which manifests itself delicate atten-
tons. Children in society are treated
with considerate kindness, which is
always considerably expressed
There are rules Ct etiquette which
relate to the many little attentions
and formulas These in society are
carefully graded, and often rigidly
enforced. They may be made
onerous, and SO oppressive. But
etiquette is clearly defined.
We do not advocate an etiquette
for the home so rigid as to be burden
some. Yet it may be the means of
teaching politeness to children. Those
who have an instructive pollteness
easily fall in with the rules of etiquet-
te But all have not this instinct.
Some are careless, rude, selfish, in
considerable These need discipline.
To give this is not to lecture on the
rules of good order or politeness. It
must be instilleu more by example
than precept. And where the parents
are careful to observe the forms of
politeness, its Importance is naturally
impressed and its rules are speedily
learned Therefore, all Difference
that would be shown in public society
should mark intercourse at home.
And if husband and wife are court
eous, children imbibe and practice it.
Example is the great teacher in this
line.
Beyond this, courtesy exerts very
| decided influence on character.
Trained to the etiquette of pollteness
gives a balance and evenness to char
acter. Its very inception involves
1t is with most second nature. The
lOfIIlS anu rules arc dCI ulfSu IIu CHe
habits slowly grated on. Where
this is done so much has been accom-
plished in the line OF self-control
that its influence extends to temper
and habits of mind. Such persons
are apt to be self-contained in al
emergencies A gentleman will be
such under all provocations and annie
all trials and tests. Hence children
thus educated receive something more
tnan polish. 1t is something to grace
fully escort a lady to dinner, or tc
maintain an agreeable conversation
or to show at all times, the air o!
good breeding but the value of it al
is the traits of mind that have beel
impaired. A clean person will fee
clean, and one accustomed to polite
ness will naturally realize the eleva
ton of feeling that attends courtesy
So habits formed at home are impor
tant, and the habit of courtesy ranks
among the first.
