A Feat of Horsemanship

The Territorial Enterprise tells of a
remarkable feat of Craftsmanship by
cowboy at Wabuska. A group of
cowboys had gathered to bid good by
to one of their number who was to
leave on the train. Just as the train
was fairly under way the departing
vaquero shouted back that he had
left his overcoat. A hurried consulta-
ton was held, and as result Dan
Farley was quickly in the saddle,
plunging both rowels in his steed, and
away and away over bitches, through
the sage. bush, up the hills and down
the hollows> riding as though for
dear life, like a thorough. blooded
cowboy. It was hard run but in
about mile and half Dan over
hauled the train, and the conductor
slackened speed so that he could
deliver the coat. It is needless to
say that Dan rode good horse.

ReethOYen:S Last DAYS

While journeying to Vienna on foot,
because he was too poor to pay for a
ride, Beethoven, the great composer,
staid one night at small farm
house. During the night, becoming
feverish and restless, he rose to take
the air, and went forth from the
dwelling in bare feet. Beethoven
wandered about till early morning,
when he returned to the house, not
knowing whittier he had gone. He
had been seized with a severe chill,
and his mind was already wandering.
Dropsy on the chest was found to have
declared itself, and within two days,
spite of all care and skill, it was pro-
nOunced that Beethoven must die.
AS he lay upon bis bed, pale and in
great suffering, a man entered It
was Hammel, the friend of many
years-his only friend. He had learn
ed of his illness while on a visit to
Vienna, and came not only to. nurse
him but to bring him money. It was
too late!
His eyes shone, he struggled for ut
terance, and at length gasped:: sis it
true, dear Hammel, that have. some
talent, after all % These were the
last words of Beethoven. He was
buried in the little cemetery of
Dobllng, and very recently his
remains have been removed to the
great cemetery of Vienna, in company
with those of Schubert, who earnestly
desired to be buried by his side.-

MY ladydwells in sunny lands,
She walks by sropic seas;
know where her fair palace stands
Amid the orange trees.
The fervid-hearted passion flower
Blooms in her garden cover;
The orchid hlaZes by her bower,
The palm trees wave above her.
The sky that greets her upward view
In one vast sun-lit dome,
Is like that orb's cerulean hue
In Gesu's church at Rome.
And when days glories slowly die,
And wild birds sing no more,
The southern cross then blazes high
The clouds Magellan saw.
Some day when hills are growing dark.
And when long for rest,
I'll step aboard my little bark
And steer her toward the west.
And seek my lady in the land
Where summer dies no more.
And when reach that tropic strand
My wand'rings will be DER.
And vet know when cold, dark seas
Break on wintry strand;
When snowy fields and leat1ess trees
Are over all the land;
lknow that were she with me now,
However cold and drear
The winters wind blew DER my brow,
She'd make summer here.

Scab on Potatoes.

The cause of the injury called
''scab" upon the potato has not been
we'll worked out, and it can not be as
serted as certainly known. PROBABLY
several diseases are included under
this common name. But a negative
point which may be considered thor
oughly settled, is that insects are not
the authors of the mischief. There is,
to be sure, an appearance of insect
work, but nothing whatever has been
observed to prove that they have any
thing to do with the malady, while
many facts disprove it. The disease
has been attributed to earth worms,
but in this again we have only guess
work, and the negative evidence is
quite strong. One or more sepcies OF
fungi have been accredited with the
destructive work, yet little is really
known about these agents rather than
results. A fungus named Rhizoctonao
sola,ai is found on potatoes leaving
either singly or in groups, little pus-
tules in the skin, making peculiar
roughness, which is called scab by
many. This, however is certainly
different from the corroded spots to
which the name is more appropriately
applied.
If any one will take the trouble to
look at the year-old twigs of most trees
and shrubs, he will readily find in the
bark, little light-colored, rough specs.
These are known to botanists as lem
ticles, and consist of cork-like forma-
lions, the cells of which soon lose the
power of absorbing water, and of
course die. They are, however, nor
NAL growths, and cannot be elassed as
disease products. They likewise oc-
cur on the potato tuber, which it is
worth the while to remember is true
branch of the stem, and in this respect
is like ordinary aerial branches But
it is claimed that under some circum-
stances these lenticles are beginning
points of rupture and decay in the
skin, and that the final result of this
is the scab, without the Intervention of
any living, external agent. Too much
water and too much heterogeneous ma
nure are the principal causes given
for the cork-like development The
disease is certainly worse on rich and
wet land. In answer to the question
I will say, that so far as known, the
depressed, rough spots on potato
tubers, usually called scab, are the
result of normal growths carried to an
excessive and destructive development
through surroundings adverse to the
potato, and that there IS nothing of a
contagious character in the malady.
The scab on the seed can not, in this
view, affect the next crop. The differ
ence in the structure of the skin OF
different varieties is. quite enough to
account for the facts noted in the letter
of inquirY.-Prdirle Fa1111er.

it with another. Presently she glanced
