A Plea for the Country Cemetery.

Mr.. Wm. Robson, a welI-known En-
glish author, in an admirable work en-
titled ''Hhe Parks and Gardens Of Paris, +"
makes the highly 1attering statement
that ''the Americans are the only peo-
pie who bury their dead decently and
beautifully" Mr.. Robinson evidently
refers to our city and town cemeteries,
rather than to those of the country.
Surely, the average rural burying
ground does not merit such an enconi-
um. 1t is too often as desolate in d
pearance as it is solemn in its ~associa-
tons. 1t is frequently a living example
of the adage that "what is
everybody's business is nobody's
business" The fence enclosing it is
often dilapidated and sometimes pros
trate, or wanting; the thorns and
thlstles grow unmolested, while the
weather beaten stalks of lust years
weeds are monuments, not to the mem
DRY of the dead, but to the shiftlessness
of the living.
All will agree that it would be count
ed a disgrace for a city to permit its
cemetery to become a Jungle. Why is
the same thing less d~isgraceful in
the country? Are the expenses of
living, or are taxes less ~burdensome in
the city than In the country? Are we
willing to admit that people living in
the city are less worldly-minded? If
1t IS true that farmers take too little
pride in the appearance OF their
premises; it is not less true that they
show too little respect both for the
dead and the living, in their burying
grounds. Rural New Yorker.

A Good Word for ROmely Girls.

Pittsburg Dispatch
"Why are homely girls always the

ready to be sacrificed again.
els such really the case?"
Il have reason to know that it is. It
is natural enough, isn't it? The girl

she enters the matrimonial market.

books and at the head of a house. Her

"My observations lead directly TO the
opposite conclusions" replied the in
belligent observer. "There is among the
great laws of nature one known as the
law of compensation, and | am thor
convinced that to it the homely
girl is indebted for the tastes and dis

"Then, if You had the choice of two
ladies', one beautiful and the other

satin, made with a full princesse train,
which will be bordered by a.plisse of
the satin and on the edge a ruching of
fine point lace in a wild-rose design.
The front is to be covered with rufies
of rare point lace that belonged 70 Miss
Astor's grandmother. The lace will
not be cut, but will cross over in
hounces, and at the sides will be caught
down in a twist and held by a cluster
of orange blossoms and pearls. The
corsage will be cut square and bordered
with the lace, while the sleeves, slight
ly pulled ON the shoulders and reach
ing to the elbow, will be met by long
white kid gloves, which are being made
to order to fit the slender little hands
of the bride. The slippers are to be
made of the dress materials, and en-
broidered in white pearls, while the
stockings will be of the finest white
silk. The veil will probably be of IL
fusion. There is n rare old,point-lac
veil in the family, and this may be worn,
although tulle is more becoming and
preferred by the bride. 1t will be fas-
tened by a half wreath of apple bios
SONS and caught by diamond pins.
She will wear other diamond Jewels and
carry a large bouquet ofrOses and lilies
surrounded by maiden

Furious Storm on the Atlantic Coast, with
Much Damage

Father Point Special-A fearful snow storm
and wind from the east has been raging along
the coast The wind averages seventy miles
an hour. The sea is tremendous, and has
crossed highways and inundated all the fields
and all parishes along the coast Here the
lighthouse and telegraph Office are completely
surrounded by raging waves. The roads are
all undermined Warehouses; here and sew
eral buildings near here and at RimOuski were
carried away. Great numbers of people vacat-
ed buildings at Rimouski, and much u~neasiness
is felt for tO-nights tide, if the storm does not go
down. The Inter Colonial railway track and
roadwayis washed away between Rimouski and
Bic. No lives have been lost so far as known. The
signal aud telegraph Office men have aban-
doned the station, having to take to boats.
This is the greatest storm in this vicinity for
years. AT Du Loup a snow storm has been
with heavy win from the northeast.
The sea swept over the wharf and carried of
q lot of lumber, also swept away the Star and
Telegraph Office belongingto l. I. Piza. There
is a washout on the Inter Colonial railway near
Bic 100 feet long and 20 feet deep. The spring
tides which are usually very high this season
OF the year., helped by the raging snow storm
and high northeast, are swollen Tremendously,
and the sea is now running the heaviest thai

AProhibition Proolamation.

The following is received from New York:
The total Prohibition vote of the country will
aggregate 100000. Four years ago it was less
than 1000, and it has decided the presidential
contest in New York. Cleveland's majority is
about 1000. Official returns will not material
y change the figures. The prohibition vote il
Albany, Monroe and Orleans counties wOulc
have carried the state for Blaine, if cast for him.
Prohlbitionists stood up to be Ounted and re-
buked the insult offered temperance men at the
Chicago convention, and this vote has made
prohibition a national issue, which will not go
out OF America until the beer shops have gone
out of America. The republican party having
been removed from their path to the grave
yard, the prohibitionists will now prepare to
bury the whisky democrats four years ahead.
l am fully satisfied we had no choice between
the candidates of the old parties, but we were
lighting to elect an issue and have won. Work
to make the issue win in 1888 has already be-
gun.

Latent Power of Manure.

Sir J. B. Lawes says, in the North
British Agriculturist, that it does not
follow, as a matter of course, that al.
though the application of a manure has
produced no effect upon the growing
crop. it may not prove effective at some
future time. Years afterwards. when
perhaps all recollection of the applica-
ton has passed away, or possibly
when some u-naccountable luxuriance
on certain portions of a field NAV
indicate the burial ground of a ma.
nure which was supposed to have
failed. In one of his experiments at
Rothamsted, in the year 1874, about
two-thirds of an acre of land was ma.
nured with a considerable amount of
potash and phosphate of lime. The
crop was wheat, and the produce was
l54 bushels per acre. As the land
which received no manure whatever
yielded a crop of Is bushels per acre.
it was evident that the manure had
practically failed. In the following
year salts of ammonia were applied, and
the produce was 81 7-S bushels per
acre.
