Youthful smartaess and What i. COST.


A student of Harrow school, Eng
land, one day politely went to the
assistance Of stout farmer ON horse
back in difficulties with gate lock.
''Thank you. my boy - said the far
mer, who was one of the wealthy
Middlesex graziers. "What may
your name be?". sMy name is
Green,'' returned the boy. ssAnd
what is your father?' ssOh, my
father is cheesemonger,' said the
smart scholar, chuckling internally
at his ready wit; land he lives IN
London on the Theobalds road 'sI
am very much obliged to you," re-
piled the farmer. "You are q cap
ital young chap; 1 shant forget you.
Don't" was the scholars final
thrust. Remember Green q cheese
monger in the Theobalds road. !"
And up the hill the boy went. much
pleased with himself and the clever
story he had told the farmer. Re-
Gently young gentleman of the
name of Green was advertised for
whose father kept a cheesemoDger's
shop in the Theobalds road and who
IN return for politely opening gate
at Harrow, was left a large legacy
recently deceased. So ran the adj
vertisement, but the student now q
youthful professional and greatly in
need of money, could not answer it,
or prove his rights to the legacy.
For neither was his name Green nor
anything approaching it, nor had his
father, q quiet country gentleman,
ever, even in remotest fashion, been
interested in cheese. The young
barrlster now waits in poverty for
briefs, and wishes he had been less
witty and more truthful.

WINTER pasture is the best for
horses where the legs are to be inn
proved, while spring or summer pas
ture Is best for the renovation Of the
general health. The baroness of
pasture in the winter keeps the car
cass light, and the coolness of the
atmosphere fines and improves the
legs. Horses that have become
gaunted up, as the phrase is, or that
have little appetite, are really bene-
fitted by winter pasturage, as the
grass at that season, although capa-
BILE of supporting life, has no laxa-
tive or medicated qualities to change
the action of the system. Such
horses should be kept in warm sta
bles and fed with roots and cut feed.
Others again that have become stiff
ened in their joints or subject to
swollen legs are oftentimes almost
entirely recovered by winters run
at pasture, when good sheds or sta
bling are provided for them against
the night air and storms.

CAREFUL experiments by DR..
Sturtevant, Of the New York expert
ment station, show that unripe To-
mato seed will grow andgive gain
Of fifteen days in earliness over ripe
seed from the same plants. He also
says that peas and corn ct for table
use win grow and produce earlier
crops than ripe seed but plants
from immature seed are feeble com-
pared with those from ripe seed.
Earliness seems to be in proportion
TO the state Of ripeness Of the seeds.
The point now is how to combine
both earIiness and vigor in the same
plant.

The tendencies of the times in
sleep husbandry are to the produe-
ton Of more and better muttun,
with less attention to the amount
and quality of wool This is proved
by the growing popularity of the
Southdown and other breeds of
mutton sheep; and is justified by the
low price of wool as compared with
the increased cost Of production.
Wool growing has often been good
business on low-prlced lands, but as
these become more valuable, the
well bred mutton sheep takes the
place Of the wool bearer. and proves
itself one Of the best paying animals
on the farm.

Mrs. STEPHEs BAGLEY, living near
Salem Church. has fallen heir to an
estate on Manhattan Island and on
which a portion of New York City is
suilt. There are but two other
heirs and the estate is supposed to
be worth about $50. 600. 900. Mrs.
Bagley is sister of Capt. Calvin
Cruel. of Louisiana, who will go
East in few days to look into the
matter. It seems that the land,
considered almost worthless at the
time, was decided to the sixth gener-
alton in regular descent Of heirship,
which is now represented by the
three persons alluded to.-Hannibal

The board of commissioners APP
pointed to locate the branch peniten-
tiary have at last agreed upon Kansas
City as the place. State Treasurer
Seibert held out to the last for Cape
Girardcau. Attorney General Boone
favored Louisiana, aud Auditor
Walker. it is now said, always
thought Kansas 9th ought to be the
place. Finally Mr.. Boone became
of the same mind as Mr.. Walker,
hence the agreement upon the city
named. We have no doubt the COM
missloners have done the right thing
in selecting Kansas City, and that
the future will proove as much.

In France butter is packed in bags
not more than three inches in diane
ter for family use, nor more than
two inches for restaurants. Each
bag holds two pounds. When filed
they are tied and packed in brine in
tubs or casks which can be headed
air tight. The cloth used must be
quite free from lint, and should be
very slightly starched-just enough
to make them iron smoothly-then
run together of uniform size. The
bag should be placed in a mould Of
suitable size and shape while being
filed. The plan may not be un-
worthy of trial in this country.

Mr.. OHMER, of Dayton, Ohio, says
that 10 make his black raspberries
self supporting, or not needing
stakes, he plants them at least four
inches deep, instead Of only an inch
or two, and then they never blow
over. The first year they are pinch
ed back to eight or ten inches; the
second, and subsequently, the tips
OF the growing shoots are pinched
back when 20 inches to two feet
high. The next spring the numer-
Gus laterals are sheared back from
one to two feet long. A horse does
the cultivating. Mr.. Dinner has
tried both methods with red rasp-
berries, leaving the canes till spring,
and cutting them Immediately after
bearing, and he finds the latter mode
the best, the old canes being of no
use any longer, many insects being
destroyed as they are cut and burn
ed, and the new canes occupying all
the room and growing better.

IT is well known that when a COW
aborts in herd 1t becomes conta-
gious. This is due to q disease
which causes the difficulty rather
than from any physical disorder. No
cure is known and -s,,e loss among
the herds Is very slsat. A French
farmer communicates to the journal
d'Agriculture Protique, Of France,
that the disease gradually left his
herds when male goats we're allowed
in the barnyards and in the stables
with the cows. He had previously
observed all the sanitary regulations
recommended by the most skilled
veterinary surgeons, without effect,
even separating the cows, but after
introducing the goats the disease
disappeared. One goat was first of
all purchased and placed in stable,
and the disease disappeared from
that location, although it continued
in the other stable. A second goat
was purchased, and the disease dis
appeared from another stable This
is discovery that is important IL
true.

GEORGIA sPORTING NEWS.
Savannah to Enter the League-The
Record To Date.

President Grady, of the Southern Base
Ball League, has summoned the directors
of the association TO meet at Atlanta to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is significantly
said: "1his meeting is one OF the most
important ever held, and the directors
have been earnestly requested to come in
person, and not TO send proxies. The
business can be transacted In one after
noon. The President earnestly hopes the
directors will all represent" The NEWS is
able to state on the very highest authority
that ut this meeting one OF the league clubs
will withdraw from the association ard
her place be filed by Savannah. IL is dol
lars to cents that this result will be con-
summated. Savannah has always been
"a good ball town." but she mas got the
( fever worse this year than ever. She can
be counted on to turn out anywhere from
1000 to 5000 spectators at every game
played this season. But for the
threatened rain 5000 people would
have witnessed her first game with At
lanta. AS it was there were over 5000
present. Her club is very popular, and
the belief here is that it is dollars To cents
that it Will carry of the pennant.
There is an unfOunded rumor atlOat to
the effect that Parsons and Crowley, one
Of Birmingham's batteries. is to be signed
by Savannah. Savannah has already the
two best batteries in the South and needs
no more at present.
The umpiring of the professionals en-
gagged by the Southeastern League, who
began their duties Monday, is character
lied as very satisfactory.
Only 800 people witnessed Mondays
ten-inning game between Memphis and
Chattanooga at Memphis. Nash, of the
Memphis team, struck out II men. Ram
sey struck out I. Chattanooga had no
errors. Memphis had 5.
The Savannah club is bound that Wis
iting clubs shall be well treated and the
police will arrest any boy, no matter how
small, who throws even pea pod al
visiting club.
The following table shows the number
of games won and lost by each of the
Southern League clubs up to the end of
last week:

CHARLEsToN's LIVELY FIGHT.
Mayor Courtenay in the Ranks Against
a. Ii. MOwery.

CHARLESTON, 5. c., May 26.-The strug-
gle for the Collectorship grows in bitter
ness hourly. Mayor Courtenay, who is
prominent merchant, Chairman of the
Harbor Commission and President Of
the Chamber of Commerce, while not ac-
lively supporting any candidate, is vigor-
ously opposing the appointment Of
A. Ii. Mowery, who has the in
dOrsement of the caucus Of South Caro-
lima congressman. The Mayor publishes
in the NeloS and Courier this morning an
open letter addressed to Mr.. Mowery's
supporters, stating that his unwiningness
TO have their candidate made Collector is
based solely upon his bad record as a BUSH
ness man. He challenges them TO Law
before the public the facts of Mr..
Mowery's account as elected in legal pro-
ceedings long before the COllectorship
fight began. The friends of Mr.. Walker
are waiting with much interest to see
how many men are going to meet the
Mayors letter.
