The gamblers of Omaha have made
proposition to the city that if they are
not interfered with for one year they
will pay for all street improvements and

On a ferryboat connecting Norfolk

-Barnum is said to have been the
angriest in his life when he found that
the big man engaged to introduce
Tom Thumb to the spectators had
snapped jobs with the small one who
had been selected to exhibit Colonel
Goshen.
That is strange statement which
the COHgregatioRaliSt makes, "on good
authority" that so far as can be remem-
bered no young man born and bred in
the nine congregational churches in
Hartford, Conn, has within the last
fourteen years become minister.
There was submitted to the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs request
from Kiowa Indian studying at Lin
coin University, Pennsylvania, to be ad-
mitted to citizenship. He was informed
in reply that it could be done only by
some act of the general Government.
The fact that Indians are born in the
country does not make them citizens.

SOUTHERN PINES, NC, Aug. 20.
"There! justlisten to that, will you?"
friend exclaimed the other day, at
tracing my attention to sundry sounds
that came yelling from the kitchen.
Here is what we heard: a great clat-
tering of pots and pans. A feminine
voice eXclaiming, "Shoo, dah! git out
o. dat, will your" to the chickens, and
go right away from dah, or l break
yo' back, yo' red pig, yo'v' to the pre-
sumptious swine which roam at will all
over this section of the State. The
Jingling of teaspoons and the clatter of
tea cups and saucers was accompanied
by the half-muflled strains of the weird
est music mortal ears ever drank in,
Dante heard such when he composed
his picture of the Inferno. But listen.
The wailing, signing, once-heard-neyer-
to-be-forgotten sound suddenly gives
way to a louder strain that is communi-
Gated, not in weird wailing, but in words
Here they are:
II don't care for Satan,
But Satan's In lub wild me,
Under these circumstances
Satan m can't agreew.
l glanced through convenient crack
in the door. The head of the negress,
which was covered all over with little
sharp wads of hair tied up with white
cord, kept time to the music. She had
paused from her labors, which is moth
ing unusual for the best of them to do.
One hand was beating the DEVILS tattoo
on the table, while one foo. acted in
sympathy with the hand.
After the words died away there was
a moment more OF wailing interlude
which VIII Carleton illustrates in his
New Church Organ" where he says:
And after every verse. you know,
They played litile tune;
didn't understand, aud so
started In too soon"
This interlude was accompanied with

The RURAL NEw-YoRKER OF next
week will be q treasury of fertilizer
knowledge. Itwill be a special number
devoted to the whole story OF how plants
grow; telling what elements the plant
must find In the soil to produce good
crops, and showing the farmer from
what source he can, in the best and
cheapest manner, obtain such of them as
are missing, or nearly exhausted in his
soil. This is q subject Of vital impor-
tance, and one that concerns every
farmer in America-those on the virgin
soils Of the Western prairies, no less
than on the worn-out fields of the East.
The RURAL having the aid of the most
careful experiinenters and ablest writer's
in the Geld, TO be found In America or
England, will treat this question in a
mastery manner. Our readers cannot
afford TO neglect 30 important a subject;

"A visitor to John Mccullough in
the asylum says that his likeness to his
V6ginius in the mad scene is startling
and pitiful. He imagines that he is
again acting the part of the deranged
Roman. This is shown by his assump-
tion of the poses which he employed OH
the stage, and his reproduction of the
gait, facial expression, and even snatches
of the language of the familiar prison
scene.
The Hon. Samuel J. Randall went
driving at Long Branch with William
NJ. Singerly of the Philadelphia Record,
who is politically opposed to Mr.. Ran
dali. Somebody spoke to Mr.. Randall
about it. "When my enemy drives the
fastest pair of horses in the place, and
tells me they are liable to trot the
best road mile on record almost any
day." was the reply, 81 can sit very

The denial is made for Edwin Booth
that he was ever a negro minstrel, save
in the sense that he may also have been
circus performer. When lad in
Baltimore he and other boys played
circus, minstrelsy, tragedy, and other
capers in a cellar. He entered the
dramatic profession when he was not
more than 10, and thereafter travelled
with his father almost up to the latter's
death. 1t is fact, however, that For
rest was once rider and acrobat in
circus.
The English Wesleyans are much
concerned about the prosecutions to
which their members are subjected at
the hands of State Church landlords
and clergymen in the rural villages. At
the recent Wesleyan Conference in
London the subject was warmly
discussed. This treatment is not
experienced in large towns, where
Wesleyans are allies, but in country dis
tricts, where they are regarded as
ecclesiastical poachers, and made TO
feel that they are under ban.

But to return to Miss Moore: Some
years ago Miss Moore, whose real name
Is Valentine, met the notorious Miss
Nelson who created such a sensation in
this couatry and England. Starting as
bar-maid. she rose in few years to
prominent position on the English stage,
and her life in this country was sufficient
to taboo her from all respectable society.
Mrs. Valentine met her and became
completely infatuated with her, for She
Was a very beautiful woman, and like
Hamlet, she knew hawk from hand
saw Mrs. Valentine followed her from
place to place ill Miss Nelson died sud
denly in Paris. Then Mrs. Valentine
supposed herself to be inspired by the
spirit of her departed friend and began
to study for the stage; wealthy husband !
graIitied her wishes and thousands of
dollars have been spent upon her trosseau
and her dramatic education. Against a
storm of adverse criticism she has held |
her own in New York, defying the crit
les and determined to win. Pluck will |
do wonders. When May Anderson
came to New York the critics came down
on her like an avalanche. She was
gawky, she was crude, she was angular.
she was scrawny-in short she was ev-
erythlng but an actress. Now the same
crowd are all running after her, and the
language is exhausted in her praise.
Miss Moore may not be Mary Ander-
son, but she can discount her bank ac-
count, and in the matter of thousands
Miss Anderson is nowhere.

A excellent opportunity of observing
the-.scrial means of propulsion IN the
flying fish was afforded me during q
six days calm lately when crossing the
bay of Bengal. ] watched day by day
some hundreds rise under the bows of
the ship. The water surface was a
CLASSY calm. AS each fish rose it spread
its wings at once, apparently beating the
surface with them two or three strokes
before they steadied out / say appar-
emily, for it was not a definite beat so
much as a struggle to rise. The tail
which, of course. under water was In
rapid motion to escape from the ship,
now gave ten OF a dozen rapid beats,
which could be counted by the ripples
on the still surface, and the fish was OFF
in aerial fight.
As each fish lost the impetus of the
first rise, which generally happened at
about forty yards, the binoculars
showed US the anal fins, which had till
now been fully extended, dropping to
feel the water. As soon as the surface
was felt the tail was introduced and
five or six smart strokes, also indicated
by ripples, brought the impetus up
agaiIaSand carried the fish about another
thirty yards, when another droop sent
it on again, and so forth, some of the
older fish travelling III this way 400 to
800 yards. The younger fish frequently
fell awkwardly in this attempt to re-
gain impetus. u hen waves are run
ming it requires clever fish to gain i'm
petus by q few judicious strokes on the
crest of wav1, and many a fish tum-
bles over in the attempt.
Ionce saw fish rise close to the ships
quarter, and it flew parallel with the
ship, pursued below by dolphin or
bonita. The latter followed every
sway of the flying fish, keeping almost
under it. at the first dip of the tail
the pursuer made dart forward, but
missed it, and again logged its prey by
keeping just under it. On the second
dip the tail went into the pursuer's
mouth, and there was an end of the
flyer. 1t always struck me that it
seemed a strain on the fish to keep the
wings extended.

OF all medicinal preparations that have been put
upOn the market in recent years, the xtract of
malt has proved itself one of the most valuable
as a tonic or remedial beverage. L. has received
the unqualified recognition and support Of ply
sicians, and is freely prescribed by them in many
cases. especially where the nervous or physical
systems have been impaired by disease or over
work The house of ''DAVID NICHOLSON"
of this city, has recently Introduced a pure malt
extract of high character, made at their request
and under their suggestions by Mr.. Adolphus
Busch, and which is popularity known as mich

and healih-restorins properties. 4 sample sub

Sir: Having submitted the Nicholson malt eN-
tract to examination, requested, take pleasure
i'm reporting that find il To be all that the pro
prietors claim for it. The results AS shown in the
following summary, are necessarily only approx
mate but are sufficiently accurate for all practical
purposes.
"l'be specimens submitted consisted of an
effervescng fluid, dark brown by direct and of
deep ruby color by transmitted light, resembling

riOr article of porter, Its taste was, however,
much mllder aud more pleasant than porter, be-
ing somewhat sweeter than beer, the sweetness
masked aud covered by a very pleasant bitter,
derived evidently from hops. The specific gravity
of sample fresh ON the bottle is 1.022 plus.
Amount of extractive matter in SO cubic cent?
metres of the fluid is 800 grammes, or about per

to recommend NichOlSons malt extract as being
a most nourishing beverage and the best article
