A curious case happened here in town
a few months ago. A clerk In the silk de-
partment Of a prominent house had a
wife and two children, but he became so
infatuated with a stranger that five or
six OF the women in the neighborhood
where she lived identified him. They
then formed ring to blachcmail him,
and he was waited on and informed that
each wanted a silk dress at a very low
price. If he could furnish them, all
right; If ne couldn't, then his wife should
be informed Of his identity. The clerk
wilted at once. The women Of the ring
came In one after another for the silk
He would sell a pattern say for 50 a
yard, send it aud the money back to be
accounted for, and when the package re-
turned he would open it and slip In a
more expensive pattern. He furnished
the six with six dresses IN this way
without being detected, but one Of them
Dragged to a nelghbor Of the 'snap, u
and the result was his ruin. He went
out OF the store without a dollar, and In
side OF a week had neither food nor fuel
for his wife and babies. Not only did
his disgraceful discharge become known
to all merchants, but the wOr=en put his
wife on the track of the other matter, anC
he was done for. She returned to hel
fathers and he drifted west and blew on
his brains in Kansas City.

Among the vegetable articles Of diet
Of the Abyssinians, the fist place is
taken by teff, a herbaccOus pant, whose
grains are as small as pins head; the
meal from this forms the bread in gen
eral use. A much inferior black bread
used by the poor is made from kind Of
millet called tOcussO, frequenting the
low grounds. In addition, the roasted
seed of the fax plant is sometimes eat
Ell, As it was by the ancient Romans and
Greeks. Another admirable vegetable
is the flower stalk OF the local plantain,
called ensete, the fruit Of which is dry
and unfit for eating. The stem is cooked
with milk and butter. It is cut OF Just
above the rOOtlets and about two feet
high. If old, the green outer coat is
peeled OF till the white interior shows.
1t Is as tender as a we'll cooked turnip,
with q flavor like the best new bread
somewhat underdone. 1t is an excellent
dish, nOurishing, wholesome and digesti-
bic. From meal cakes a fermented drink
called bOusa Is made. The coffee grown
in Abyssinla is principally sent to Died
ma and Upper EgyP6. Though not of

Gurage make mats OF the leaves of the
ensete. TIE coca Of the Abyssinians,
a species Of asciepiad, produces a tough
fiber used in making cordage and tissues
on the Red sea ittoral. The bark of
CalotroPis gigantea affords excellent
fiber, used for various purposes. The
tender leaves newly pulled from the
s6pR Of the dOum palm are woven into
all kinds OF mating and basket ware.
The powdered seed Of a large tree called
! berebera is thrown into the water to
stupefy fish and facilitate their capture.

But few weeks since a mascRlonge
was captured here under rather curious
conditions. A lad Of 10 years, known TO
the writer, while fishing suddenly struck
a large fish. The boy, not knowing
previously the Dimensions Of this fish,
according to his own statement, fright
ened ''nearIout OF his wits" The fish
leaped ont 'Oi the water twice, but hay
ing gorgeGg the spoon, he was perfectly
hooked. The craft il which the lad was
being light and small, he screamed for
assistance, fearing to be drowned the
while, yet unwilling to relinquish his
line. He managed to reach the shore,
whereupOn the men who had gathered
to witness the capture, taking hold Of
the line, brought the fish into shallow
water, where he was dispatched by blows
upon the head and body with sticks.
When taken to the scales the fish
weighed forty-fye pounds, a large
weight for this section of water. This
fish had escaped from several devices set
up in the imaginatiOns Of a few for his
capture. One fisherman (by profession
vowed that he struck that fish which
showed a tail the size Of his straw hat, +"
which was eighteen inches wide. An
other asserted to have struck an immense
fish which had twice toWed him IN his
canoe over across the river. Another
wonderful description Of the fish was to
the effect "that ne resemble 1 no fish ID
particular" and yet being a large fish
the story was still larger. So many
tales were recounted OF this eztrROrdi-
nary fish that many we're the spoon
lures, live minnOws, with deep and high
water fishing which were rendered him,
all to no purpose, until upon this lucky
evening, feeling more hungry than usual,
he was hooked and killed for reason OF
his own greed. We eudeavored to pro
cure the fish, but it had been distribu-
ted before the news reached rs. When
inquiEing Es to the species We were told
and believed It q genuine muscalonge
for although the j.. lucius may reach
twenty pounds, and often thirteen end
fifteen, fOrty-6vs pounds would have
been an imposaibility in this line. There
is, however, "a sure manner to distinguish
the two fishes. On the snout a figure
resembling the letter B VII be found OF
the larger fish, while on the smaller tn,
letter p can be observed quite plainly
Our attention was called to the fact som,
years ago. This is an galfailing distinc
ton and peculiarly OF the separat,
species.

Buffalo "a. y Courier.
A police officer who was called to in
vestigale a case Of supposed attempted
suicide the other night found a woman
lying on a couch breathing heavily, her
tongue twisted, and evidently in greaI
pain. Beside the couch was a youthful
physician whose right to practice dates
back to last spring. 'Whatever it was I
gave it to her" said he eZcitedly. II
gave her a black powder" The officer
stated his opinion that the woman was
dying from poison, which SO alarmed the
hedgling physician that he cried out in
terror: acct a doctor; for goodness sake,
get a doctor quick % When an old fol-
lower Of H1sculapius arrived with a
stOmach-pump, and the woman was made
more comfortable, the young doctor
breathed more freely and explained that
the woman had been suffering from the
effects Of a heightened debauch, and he
had given her something to 'brace heI
up" What it was he can not tell to this
day, and tue members Of his graduating
class are chuckling gleefully over his
piteous appeal to ''get a doctor"

October in tho South.

About the 25th of the month a killing
frost usually occurs, and it is well to have
everything ready for it-pea vines, forage,
hay, etc. gathered and housed. Ground peas
should also To gathered by that time, hat the
tops may be cured as forage, and the gather
ing of the nuts facilitated. After killing
frost, the nuts quickly lose their hold on the
vines, and are left in the ground when the
latter are pulled up Sorghum cut and
stowel away under shelter, will keep green
and sweet tor long time, proonging the
period of green feed well up to Christmas.
Stalks, leaves and heads cut up together, we
lind to 10 most excellent feed for cattle.
Our people, generally, have not learned yet
to appreciate its value as stock feed. We
think it superior TO Milo Maize or any other
of that class. The amber cane is the best
variety for this purpose.
The sweet potato vine is another good feed
liable now TO be ruined by frost As it is al
most impossible TO cure them, they may be
either grazed or pulled OFF and fed. Little
damage to the potato will accrue if this is
done after the middle OF October. Every
thing should bo in readiness also for digging
the potatoes. After tho weather gets cool and
vegetation ceases active growth, the digging
may take place at any timo when the soil il
dry. Where the vines are not fed of to stock,
the usual practice is to pull them out of the
way with plow This gathers the vines in
heaps at tho end Of the rows and deprives the
