A young man named Curtis was hang.
ed by select party of nelghbors near
Fort Worth, Texas, the other night. he
was requested to marry a young woman
and he refused. Thereupon he was
hanged. Did he die? Not much. he
Just waited until the lynchers had de-
parted, then fished cut his knife from
his trousers pocket and cut himself down.
Doubtless this young Texan who was
born and bred in the state had been

Grants HOrse.

General Grant was particularly proud
and found of his stud of horses. His
war charger was an especial favorite.
He took great delight in exhibiting his
horses to his friend with whom he was in
innate. Once at his stables with friend
he said: perhaps you would like to see
the horse I rode during all the campaigns
l commander" The animal was ordered
to be brought out. The gentleman was
surprised to find the horse 10 larger than
lady's palfiey-small. slender, agile
limbed, black as coal, intelligent, mild,
an eye like hawk, and lick on the
name for all the world like boys cow
lick 1t was such an animal as women
and children would make into family
pet. The gentleman pronounced the
animal beauty, but expressed doubt
as to it's endurance. '.Endurance?" said
the general; ''this animal exceeds in
endurance any horseAesh ever saw. I
have taken him out at daylight and kept
In the saddle till dark, and he came
IN as fresh when I dismounted a. when
we started in the morning. There
isn't gold in America to buy him.
He u an imported horse Of fine breed
and wasonce on Jen Davis plantation.
This was just. before Davis was caught,
and the visitor said: II presume you
would exchange the horse for JET Davis"
"You have said ii, }" exclaimed Grant; II
would exchange him for his old master,
but for nothing else in the worl1."

Potash and Bone tor Peach Trees.
American Cultivstor.
The most successful peach-growers ii
the Middle States are those who use pot
ash literally as fertilizer. In his late
report on peach orchards to the New
Jersey Experiment Station, Mr.. J. M
White remarks that the healthiest and
longest lived orchards in the state s'are
those which have been fertilized witt,
potash and phosphoric acid. Among
other orchards be describes that of J. s.
GAMBIA, OF Chester, who has 1000 trees
III bearing, six to ten years old. He APP
plies 500 pounds of bone to the acre,
and as much ashes as he can secure.
The fruit is abundant and of good quail
ity. Ii disease appears every affected
tree is removed and destroyed at once,
and no instrument used on diseased tree
is used on healthy one until thoroughly
cleaned. s. II. Wartman cultivates his
1000 bearing trees twice in a season.
The past season he had 5000 baskets of
peaches. DR.. h. Race, of Pittstown,
gathered 8, 100 baskets of peaches from
5000 trees. He used superphosphate
and potash. ]. L. Nixon, of Quaker
town, sold 5000 baskets from his $4,000
trees the past season for SO, 045; he cul-
tivates we'll and applies manure and wood
ashes" Peach-growers in this state who
have applied wood ashes literally to
their orchards have succeeded in raising
good crops Of fruit when the orchards of
their neighbors who used no ashes were
barren.

Colonel Green's Anxiety Relieved.

Boston Post.
Colon Green, the veteran journalist
though suave in manner, was very forci-
BILE in action when the occasion seemed
to require the exercise of force. One
morning after the colonel arrived at his
office, tho man who always wants to know
who wrote that article, sir?" put in an
appearance, and was very demonstrative
He slashed around the editorial Office for
awhile, and, not having succeeded in
obteining from the colonel the informa-
ton he had come to seek, he made show
of wanting to fight.
Thereupon the robust colonel took his
bumptious visitor by the nap of ths neck,
and showing him the way to the head of
the stairs, he applied his square-toed
boot to the rear of the bellicose visitor
and landed him at the foot Of the long
flight of stairs.
you'll hear from me again, sir"
roared the victim, as he gathered him
self together.
"Well, I'm glad to hear you say so"
was the colonel's CHEEKY response; II was
just beginning to think I shouldn't"

st. James Gazette.
A copy of the Standard Of the 26th Of
August, which has passed through the
Russian postof6ce, has been exhibited in
the Liverpool exchange newsroom, and
created great amount of interest, from
the fact that the first of the leading arti-
cles was completely oblitersted BY the
Russian censorship. It was little over
column in length, but not single
word could be discerned. The sppa-
ratus used for the obliterstion of the ar
ticle was evidently one made for the pur-
pose, as care had been taken not to in
fringe ON the matter next to the Chico
tionabls article. The appearance of the
column was very much like paper
which had gore through the machine
then accidentally got ON to the hiking
rollers, except that in the latter case Q
few words can still be read, while in the
case OF the paper exhibited yesterday,
not word could be seen. The article

to perform on the accompanying ipstru-
ments. The same wood from which Ole
Bull can draw, life, love, SORROW, passion
and melody is only to be regarded as
fuel for the flames in the hands of the
undersi sned, who therefore request the
maestro to make an auto-da-fe of the In
closures, and to look upon the ascending
smoke a. the hi
genius by penitent dsbblers in the noble
art" This curious epistle bore the sig
natures Of twenty-five young men. Three
days afterward Ole Bull gave dinner,
to which he invited all the senders of the
valuable Greenwood" Each guest had
lying before him on the table one of the
violins referred to. and by its side gold
ring with the inscription: Solitude
and perseverence"-a piece at seasonable
advice to the faint hearted dilettante and
a symbolic Indication of the means by
which the virtuose himself had attained
to fame.

N.wfoupdl.nd's wreckers.

Nevfoundland's Wreckers.
Nautical instruments in these hungry
waters avail the mariner naught. for fire.
ouently q week will pass during which
he does not once see the sun by day o.
the stars by night. In the late summer
the "AnRlo-S Saxon" laden for the greater
part with costly bales Of silk, lost bel
bearings, and while at full speed wal
lifted upon q monster billow and LAID
across sunken rock that barred the
mouth of Chance Cove. One wild shrek
arose. and the light keeper heard II
through the wailing of the wind and the
thunder of the sea. Crew and passen-
gers. amounting in all 10 many score,
were thrown into deep hole inside the
rock, where the greater number per-
iehed. The tidings were promptly dis
patched to the capital, but not In time
to save the treasures from the hands OF
the spoilers. The fog lifted and revealed
the strand pale with corpees. Round
about, the fishermen ''hauled" their nets
and epilliards in the fog. but with cleo
trio swiftness went the tidings OF a
wreck. They came there in scores and
loaded their boats with bales of silk;
and they were busy as ghouls among
the dead upon the beach. Mary of the
passengers were persons of note, and
they wore costly jewels upon their
clothes and fingers. Whenever ring
could not be removed from the rigid fin
ger the wrecker drew his sheath knife
and in horrible way became master OF
the treasure. It is stated, indeed, upon
good authority, thst one poor lady sue
ceeded in clutching piece Of the wreck
and reaching shore. She passed through
many a fathom CT breaking sea, and
when she reached the beach was to all
appearance dead.
One of the wreckers, knife in hand,
went to where the lady lay, and bis eyes
cleaned as he saw the treasure upon her
fingers. She moved little and moaned,
but this. was no safeguard. STOPPING,
the man seized her hand and began to
remove the rings, although she, by her
feeble cries, protested. All came away
save one, and this the man knew, from
its size and brilliant cleaning, to be the
most valuable of all. After trying for
many minutes to obtain it, he pulled out
his knife and severed the finger. Then,
the story goes, the poor mutilated lady
arose, opened her eyes, and held up her
bleeding hand as if asking Judgment
against the heartless wretch. One wild.
piersing cry, and her SORROWS were ended
Cd. As she fell back upon the sand the
wrecker gave chuckle and went his way.
Such an occurrence could not but fill the
minds of all good people with horror;
and it was net long before the magma
ton of some of the coast-dwellers fur
nished sequel to the atrocious deed.
For it is told, and believed by many a
man and woman upon the coast, that
this same poor lady sometimes appeared
IN the dreadful cove when tho storm
RACES. Scores will svow that she ap-
pears by the edge of the sea clad in
white, her dark hair trailing in the wind,
and holding up little, pale, bleeding
hand.

martial law will be held amenable 10
civil and criminal actions, and perhaps
to court-martial, for cruel and malicious
orders or actions. and for acts beyond
the scope of their duties. Martial law,
therefore, does not tolerate license; il
Justifies vigor but not excess.
IT'S proclaimed in large districts by
the President or by the Governor, de-
pending upon the nature of the dis
order; and by the proper military com
manders in their jurisdictions. As nee
eSsity creates martial law, so does IL
limit Its duration. Within the discre-
ton OF the commanding officer, civil
and criminal courts, and their function
aries, may exercise their customary
