A Pretty story About Miss Folsom.

from tfte fdet ndC6 Cuseftos
A pretty story, if one could believe It,.
is told by the Paris correspondent OF a
Vienna paper. A short time ago "A matt
nee musicale was given by the Duchess
Lamotte, and among the guests was the
charming brlde-elect OF President CleVe-
land, then in Paris completing her trous.
seau. The young lady was the object of
many marks Of distinction, the hlgn aris-
tocracy surrounded her, and there was
mueh talk OF her position. One lady, the
daughter-n-law Of the Duchesse de Per-
signy, condoled with Miss Folsom be-
cause she would have no title as the wife
OF republican President. "All would
be we'll, only you will nave no title" said
she; ''you will only be called Mrs. Cleve-
land" "But that name Is only for
strangers" was the answer OF the fair
American; ''the President has for init.
macy conferred upon me very particu-
lar title" Everybody looked up curl
ously, and blushinR deeply, Miss Folsom
added, "He calls me-his darling. Can a
wife desire better titlew The hostess
embraced her amiable guest, remarking,
"You are right, and you appear 10 me as
II you would keep the title 70 the end OF

A CHILD's SLEEPING PLACE.
The Daring Act of a Little Boy Near
WiIlfamsport, Ohio.

The Daring Act of Little Boy Near
WiIliamsport, Ohio.
A remarkable feat of daring in a child
and miraculous escape from death is re-
ported from Willamsport, o., where
vigorous search for natural gas is going
on. Gas hunters have taken complete
possession of the little hamlet and its sur
roundings, and the prosecution OF their
work furnishes interest and curiosity for
the country boys for miles around. A
gusher was struck at Williamsport the
Otner day, and derrick So feet high is
still standing to support a huge escape
pipe, from which at night blazes flame
five feet high. Last Friday night a dozen
boys paid the vicinity a visit, going
from well to well, out of curiosity.
They were accompanied by little Jack
Crawford, lad Of years, who re-
mained at the big derrick, while
his companions continued their Jour-
ney. When the boys were ready to
return home the little fellow was nowhere
to be found. One of the boys looked up
and imagined that he discovered the out
line of form on the top platform OF the
derrick. Taking off mis- shoes he climbed
the dizzy structure. When within few
feet OF the top he was hOrrihed TO find
HILle Jack pedcelully asleep on Jne very
edge of the derrick, with gas burning high
above him. Mastering all his courage,
the rescuer stealthlly crept up to the little
slumberer and aroused him. The lad
sleepily rubbed his eyes and said he
wanted to go home. 1t was with great
difficulty he was brought down, owing to
the rickety condition OF the derrick. While
his companions were gone the child had
climbed to the top OF the derrick, and be-
ing tired soon fell asleep. twas a miracle
he did not fall, as the plank upon which he
was found is by actual measurement only
6 ieet long and . feet wide.

Money in Tobacco.

AsHEv1LLE, N. c., February Sit is
really remarkable how much money may
be realized from the culture of tobacco
under the best management. Your cor
respondent has just had called to his
attention an illustration of this fact.
MIR. w. q. Sprinkle, citizen Of Madison
County, which adjoins Buncombe on the
North. who lives within few miles of
Marshall, the County seat, bought in 1879
three hundred acres of land, on time for
$4,000. This land it is said would not
at that time produce more than ten
bushels of grain to the acre.
The purchaser began the cultivation of
tobacco on small scale for the first two
years, having only $1,000 capital and
raising also the supplies needed for his
family. AS rapidly as be could get his
money out of tobacco he sowed his old
fields in grass, and they are now sufli-
ciently fertile to produce excellent quail
ties of the weed. For FIVE years his crop
of tobacco has averaged him $1,000 per
annum clear of expenses and he has
recently been offered $4,000 for his
farm. This not only shows that there is
money for the planter of tobacco, but
also proves that the weed, properly culti-
vated, does not exhaust the soil, as many
enemies of the product are in the habit
of saying. The planter above spoken OF
has made one acre produce $500 worth
of tobacco, and on the old fields formerly
abandoned, and then by his efforts and
methods reclaimed, he has produced the
leaf that brought s3S per hundred pounds.
