The Fortunes of FREAKS"
From tho Philadelphia times.

From tho Philadelphia times.
Speaking of the savings of freaks of
nature, a prominent circus and muse
um manager said recently "They are
nearly all economical, and nine out of
avery ten are filed with a desire to
,wn a farm. Tom Thumb spent a
great deal of money. and yet left a snug
fortune. Mile Cristine, the double
headed girl, has made $50, 900 or $751;
200, but she lost the greater part of it
backing the circus Of a friend q few
years ago. l suppose she is still worth
500, 000. Hannah Battersby and her
skeleton husband, who live in this city,
are worth $40, 900. John Powers, the
fat man, accumulated $40, 900. Capt.
Bates and his wife, big people are
worth $50 900. They have a fine fam
in the west. If Lucia Zarete, the Mex
lean midget, had received all the salary
She earned for her manager, she would
be worth $25, COO. AS it is the man
ager, Frank Uffner, has the money,
minus 81. 900 or So, 900 he has paid to
Lucas father. Eli Bowen, the legless
man, has 5000 in bank. Cooper, the
giant, has nearly as much. The dime
museums have raised the salaries of
freaks so much that they will all have
sarms if the managers pocket-books
uold out"

An Orchard Fertilizer.

The best fertilizer l have used for
fruit trees is made of chip-dirt from
the wood-pile, and old ashes. ] mix
in the proportion of one bushel of ash
es to three of chip-dirt, stirring well
with the shovel. About two bushels
of this mixture is to be spread around
each young treo, giving large, we'll
grown trees more. The manure is APP
piled at any season. Do not pile
around the trees any litter OIL rubbish
that would harbor mice. In summer
keep the weeds from around the trees.
Experience has taught me that this
fertilizer serves a very important pur-
pose, not only in supplying the trees
with suitable food, but in mellowing
the soil, and helping on such crops as
| may choose to plant in my orchard.
1t is an excellent fertilizer for any
crop. annual or perennial, and the
ashes (from hard woody supply the
trees with the element they most need,
and the soil lacks. namely, potash.
1t is Il pleasure to see how a Young
orchard will thrive after an applica-
ton OF this fertilizer. Sometimes l
burn logs to get ashes for this pur-
pose, and if | have no chip-dirt, / go
to a dead oak or hickory and scrape
together the fallen bits Of bark, and
the rich earth around the tree. 1t is a
very good substitute for the chip-dirt.
1t is obvious that this material is rich
in the elements of food of trees. / be-
licve in keeping fruit trees well fed,
and that a large space around each
tree should be given exclusively to the
tree from which to draw its supplies.
! never plant close to my trees, pre-
ferring TO have them branch low, and
to trim down rather than up.-W. Z.
Jones IN american AgrtcuNurist.

Old Nelson Himself.

During the war General Nelson was
given to experimenting personally the
crossing of rivers, and on one occasion
he made eight men jump into the water
and drag out a h~alf-drowned mule.
After an experience of this kind he
came upon a wagon-train stuck in the
mud. Major Igo quartermaster of the
Thirty-tifth Indiana regiment, was
working as hard as a man could work
to get the wagon out, and had his men
in position for a lift when Nelson
rode up. Pushing his way close to the
major, Nelson roared out:"D-n you,
sir, what's the matter with that
wagoh?" Raising his hot face, the
major reared back: "You get out OF
this, DIN you. The wagons stuck in
the mud. Any id fool can see that. y
do you know who 1 am, sir? Do you
know who I am, sir? " shouted Nelson,
in a fury. Certainly Ido," responded
the major; "you are the pot-bellied
quartermaster of that Ohio regiment
in front, and you can't boss mo around.
Nobody but old Nelson himself can do
that" Nelson chuckled, and rode
away.

Destiny,

What is destinyP A thing of beauty
and a JOY forever? Well, no; though
we fain would shake destiny by the
hand, we cannot. 1t is that subtle, in
sinuating something by which nature
is related to natural law; that marplot,
SO to speak, which overthrows all the.
cries. and We have no use for it. In
the first place, we do not believe in
destiny.
In the second place, destiny is too
prcmature; it thrusts Il mans roll upon
him before he is half made up before
he has eve had an opportunity OF
showing what he is capable of; there
by oftentines making millionares of
those who should be poor men, and
paupers of those who should be mill
iona res. For whoever saw a poor
man who didn't know how to use a
m%iliionaire's millions better than he
did himself ? Therefore we know
that destiny has made Il mistake in the
man!
Thirdly, destiny is only believed in
by young infants and old women who
have never cut their wisdom teeth.
In the fourth place destiny is not to
be tempered with, for the man who at
tempts to throw destiny will always
lind himself the under dog in the
fight.
In the fifth place, there arc some
things which ever time and tide have
to wait for, and destiny is one of them
and the moon is another.
Now we come to our sixthly and
lastly; any one who is endowed with
proper ambition and determination
will put destiny in his pocket and
pranee up the hill OF life sans peur ct
sans reproche or hoe vincet, or some
thing else equally meritorious.
We have now come to the end of our
dissertation, and like most of the min
listers, when they come to the end of
their sermons, we will add a few re-
marks of our own to the congregation,
thereby giving popularity to tho occa-
sion and precedent to the cause.
When the hours drag YEARLY, and
you are inclined to rail at fate, Just
climb up On the back fence and count
the flaws in your neighbors, then you
will feel harmonized with your sur
roundings and equal to any cmcrgen-
cy, then the mountains in yourselves
will seem as nothing in comparison to
the mole-hills of your neighbors. Be
critical and you will be happy; or mis-,
cradle as tho case may be.-Holly

A PaWued BRIDE.

A shilling used to be the fee, in New
York, for administering an oath and
signing an affidavit. In the days when
the eccentric ''Dicky" Riker was re-
corder Of the city, there were many
bad shillings in circulation, and
"Dicky," to guard himself from being
cheated out of his fee, used to swear an
applicant for his signature in this
style:
"You swear that the affidavit to which
you have subscribed your name is true,
to the best of your knowledge and be-
lief, and that this is a good shilling, SO
help you God!"
A young justice of the peace, living
in Georgia, recently displayed as much
caution as the ancient recorder of New
York, for he held a bride as security for
the payment OF the marriage-fee. The
story, as told by the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, is amusing:
One of the most novel marriages in
the history of Norwood took place last
week. The applicants were q lady and
gentleman of the ebony hue.
The young justice of the peace, who
is very conversant with the law, but q
little inexperienced in performing mar
rage ceremonies, proceeded to unite the
happy pair.
His face bore marks of excitement,
and, in a nervous tone, he babe the two
Join hands.
This they did, joining, however, their
left hands, and were made one. The
Joyous couple then proceeded to depart,
whereupon the following conversation
ensued:
J. P.-Where's my fee; you didn't
expect me to marry you for nothing, did
you?
Groom (excitedly)-W,y, boss, I
lint got a cent! How much do you
charge? I didn't know I had to pay for
marryin'.
J. P.-s2.5o. I'll just keep your wife
here until you go and get the amount.
AT the same time bidding the blushing
bride to take her seat.
CROMWELL, I'll try to git it.
Off he went to procure an order from
lis employer, but, staying rather long,
;he bride moved restlessly toward the
door.
"Take your seat" was heard solemn
Jones from the justice of the peace.
She complied. but what her feelings
must have been can't be easily described.
However, the groom returned in due
time, settled the bill, and took his
'pawned" bride home, o wiser if pot q
better man.

AVE repeater in his maturer years,
that spring begins with March. This
idea has become so firmly fixed that
successive yearly disappointments have
not dislodged it. but as each succeed
ing March comes round, he feels that
it should bring spring weather and
spring work. We are apt to think
with something akin to envy, of the
English farmer, whose weather comes
true to the almanac. and whose spring,
if it does not begin in March, is not
deferred until May, but borrows the
later days of February. Even in the
generally genial climate of England,
March is proverbiallv a clustering and
uncertain month. Even in our era the
Anglo-Saxons had in their language
names for March which meant rugged
month";" and ''stormy month"; These
people believed that March had bor-
rowed three days from April, and ex-
pressed the character of these days in
a proverb, which is said to be still in
use by the rustics in parts of England
and Scotland. 1t is said of these three
borrowed days:
"Tha first it shall be wind and weet;
The next 1t shall be snow and sleet;

Chinese Education in California.

There are 1000 Chinese children in
San Francisco eligible to the public
schools, according to a recentlcgal de-
cisIon. If this decision shall be sus-
tanned by the Californi supreme court,
separate schools will have to be pro-
vided for them. as white children will

as it was between whites and blacks
in the south before the war.-San
