OF course, as quick, strong growth is very
desirable, it will pay to select good rich
ground for the purpose. Prepare the land
by thoroughly ploughing, then harrow and

leave the soil in good condition; or the drill
can be used after thoroughly preparing the
land. About one aud half bushels to the
acre will be about the right quantity to SOW.

ors a Little Montgomery Girl.
g Advertisers.

Montgomery Advertiser.
An Advertiser Reporter saw q beau
tiful piece Of iewelry, which has avery
interesting history; it is not likely
that there is another such in America.
1t is a present from the emperor OF
Austria to O. lituIe child here in this
city. In design it is a four-leaf clerSr
in gold, with q lovely diamond dew
drop in it's center. Upon it's back is
this inscription, engraved in the most
tasty manner: "From His Imperial
Majesty, Emperor Francis Joseph /,
to Charlotte Pollak, Ischel, 18th Au-
gust, 1885"
From Mr.. Ignatius Pollak, the little
girls father, the following account OF
the imperial gift is obtained: Mrs.
Pollak spent last summer at the ia
nous Alpine resort, Ischel. The Aus
TRAN emperor vas there at the same
time. The 18th of August was little
Charlotte's sixth birthday. Her aunt,
without NM. Pollak's knowing it, re-
Numbering that the 18th was also the
emperor's birthday, wrote a note OF
congratulation from the child as q
little American girl on her sixth birth
day to the emperor in his ffty-fourth,
and signed it simply Charlotte" The
note was accompanied by q small
bunch of flowers. Nothing was heard
of the modest tribute of regard until
eight days afterward, when the
emperor's master of ceremonies
called upon Mrs. Pollak, and in
the name Of his sovereign presented
the beautiful token already described.
He told the lady that when the EN-.
perOr came across the simplenot and
bunch of flowers from an American
child in the files of presents, he was
so struck with it's sincerity and disin.
t~erestedness that he shed tears, and
directed that the child's full name be
obtained and herself sought out in
order that his thanks might be re-
turned along with a memento OF his
esteem.
The incident is significant as show
ing that even emperors have hearts
that can be touched amid all thepomp
and fattery that surrounds them.
The handsome evidence of this fact is,
of purse treasured as q precious
souvenir by the little girl, and when
she grows older, no piece in her jewel
casket, however superb, will be so
valuable in her eyes.

A.
m the Gainesville American.

From the Gainesville American.
While in Adairsville recently I saw
something that struck me as very
strange. Quite a party of gentlemen
were sitting around the stove when
a little boyabout 5 years old entered.
He was a quietlooking little fellow,
and there was a peculiar expression
on his face. Cant you preach for
us, Oaude?" asked one of the party.
1t seemed that he was used to that,
and without any hesitancy he placed
a chair for q pulpit, took two little
books that were handed him, and pull
ed off his hat for business. Before
saying a word he knelt by his chair in
secret prayer for a moment. He
then arose, and after looking carefully
through one of the little books he an
nounced the number Of his hymn,
gave it out in language that was lisp
ing and hard to understand, and then
sang it through all alone. He then
knelt again by his chair and prayed
this time aloud-but in words that
no one could understand. He took q
text from one of his books, and for
eight or ten minutes he preached with
much earnestness and spirit. The lit
tie audience was profoundly quiet,
and not q smile fitted over any face.
To me it was a solemn scene.
There was O. strange light IN the little
fellows eyes and q peculiar glow on
his face as he preached. He was
scarcely as high as the chair behind
which he stood, and yet he was com
posed and easy in his manners. i sat
there watching him and wondering
what mysterious power was moving
him. His child voice rang out in q
way that stilled the crowd of loafers
into a solemn and almost painful
silence. We could not catch the
meaning OF his baby words that were
SO broken and lisping, but we could
see the flash of his black eyes and feel
the power of his presence. When his
sermon was done hesang a song, took
up q collection (reciepts Is cents)

went out as quietly as he came.

Racing for Two Miles Ahead of a Railroad
Train, and Coming to Grief on II Trestle.
II was a passenger on the Vermont
Central railway the other day" SAID
q gentleman to q New York Sun re-
porter. "a short time after the train
left Windsor, VT, young horse that
was feeding in o. lot close by the side
of the track kicked up his heels when
the train was within few rods OF Thin,
and, leaping the fence at a bound,
jumped on the track, and galloped
away ahead of the train. The en-
gineer sounded his whistle, and, al
though the train was almost upon
the horse, the animal did not leave
the track. The engineer lessened his
speed, so that the horse could keep
out of the reach Of the train, thinking
that the animal would soon be
frightened off. He kept straight
ahead, however, and the cars chased
him closely for two miles. At that
point the railroad crosses q deep ra-
vine by a trestle bridge ninety feet
long. Some workmen were at the end
of the t~restle, and when they saw the
horse tearing down the track toward
them they shook their coats and hal
looed at him. The horse stopped at
sight of the men, but, looking back
and seeing the engine putting and whis-
Ting behind him, started ahead again
with q snort, and galloped upon the
t~restle, although he could easily have
left the railroad on either side of the
rails. The horseran safely more than
half way across the t~restle, and then
missed his footing. Both forefeet
went down between the ties, and then
the hind feet and legs went through,
and the horse was suspended over the
ravine, the bottom of which was near
ly a hundred feet below. The train
was stopped before it ran on the tres
tie. The trainmen took a number
of boards from q neighboring fence
and placed them by the side
of the horse. They then tied his
