The C.erke C6uricr says

The Clarke Courier says:
at Is reported that Mr. Jonathan Tharp,
while engaged In making shingles in apiece
Of woodland belonging to DR.. Z. E. Lippitt,
situated near the CharlcStown turnpike road,
found ablu. $1,000 in five and one dollar
gold pieces. The money was discovered in
a tree which had been fclled for shingles,
and the party who placed it there had first
bored with an auges fort holes into the
wood, deposited therein the gold pieces and
then plugged up the orificeS. The bark had
grown over the holes, so that no one ever
supposed that the tree contained treasure
until the bark was removed"
This may give fresh impulse to single
making; even the fellows that shihgle hair
will feel for bumps indicative of sense.

Some Traits of the virginian.

The whole tradition OF the country
unites in a vast protest against hurry.
Ifvou meetsyour nSighbor on the road
On horseback, though you had met every
dav for a week, he would look on you
&c q currnudgeon did you not stop and
ocbat a while" If, on summer day,
uo-, stop at a roadside farm house for a
g1T;nI, Of water, you will be fortunate, If
tbo owner is O speaking acquaintance,
- rot away within an hour, and consid-
"roIIe hardening will be required to
.asist the entreaty to lite, Sir, lite, "
tbat follows instantly on his greeting OF
recognition. Rural property, where
tbe house stands upon the public high
wav. is among this middling class con-
sidered as having something special IN
that particular to recommend 1t. The
middle-aged or elderly proprietor OF
such an enviable location, though he has
nowadays to make his boys work, will
still sit himself upon the porch
in his shirtsleeves, with long pipe
or the less picturesque quld
between his teeth, rocking
himself to and fro in the warm summer
DAYS. His eyes are bent always on the
dusty road that, beyond the shade OF
the acacias and the old-fashioned strag-
Cling box trees which divide him from
#, leads the people of his part of the
country to the county town. Riding
along It at slow, ambling gaits, on Tex
an saddles with long, swinging stirrups,
in big straw hats and white linen jack
cts. the neighbors go by in ones and
twos at long intervals. Each is greeted
bv our venerable friend with a shout of
entreaty to elite and set while" The
predictions of all tempt them to com
ply. The stronger-minded, however,
declare "they are nightly pushed for
time and must get on" Otherwise yield
to their native instinct, hitch their horses
to the fence, and relapse into that ex-
tended and elaborate formula which, of
various kinds, according to education
accompanies in the south the meeting
of man and man.-Macmillan Maga'
zine.

German American Romance.

In 1872 the eldest son of Prince Fred
erich of Palm, the young Count Alfred,
then studying at the Bonn University,
ran away from home because his family
would not allow him to marry a young
girl, well brought up, and whose pa
rents were comfortably off, but of com
paratively low birth For a whole year
the Prince of Palm remained ignorant
of his sons whereabouts, and was only
informed last September that he was
working as anavvy on the Illinois rail
way "a few miles from Chicago. He had
been recognized by another navy of the
name of Schneider, who had served lii
Germany in the same regiment of Hus-
sars as the young prince. Shneider
wrote to the young Prince to inform
him that the count and himself occupied
the same lodging at Chicago. The
Prince Immediately sent the manager
of his estate to bring back the prodigal
son, who refused to return unless he
was allowed to marry the lady for whose
sake he had left heme and country.
The Princes consent to the match has
been granted. Truth.

Ruskin on the Platform.

The London correspondent OF the
Chicago Herald gives this picture of
Ruskin on the platform:
"The manner is nervous-I hardly
know whether self-conscious or only
characterized by bonhomie, by which l
mean Mr.. Ruskin shuffied into the room
and up to the desk, looking here and
there and everywhere all at once,
fumbling his big, uneven edged MS,
and began straightway to read without
any salutation to chairman or audience.
Had he not been John Ruskin, my
hero, my idol, really l should have
said. What funny little man? He
began to play with his gold-bowed spec
tacles. His pronunciation sounded like
Scotch and cockney made into hash.
1t was as broad as Dundee Scotch, and
as indistinct betimes as Belgravia cock
ney. He seldom could pronounce an
r. Nine times out of ten his r lost
itself in a w sound. Still his pronun-
citation was scholarly. He stood well IN
the same spot, but his body and hands
were constantly in motion. But the
distinguished speakers make up was
something wonderful. The coat that
almost shrouded him was the old coat
my father used to wear when [ was a
child-so young L can only indistinctly
remember it now. Yes. the very iden-
tical coat. I was glad to see that ever
dear old coat once more. Shall L ever
see it again? The trousers and waist
cort were gray and of Scotch tweed"

Professor Pepper, of the University
of Pennsylvania, says that among the
causes of disease among Americans is
the damp homes, caused by bad drain
age, the use of tobacco, the drinking Of
whisky at all times, and especially be-
tween meals; the excessive use of strong
