one hour after we left her. The top

however, said it would be sure death for all

Where it was do not know, but the breakers
were so fierce that the captain said every one

The Harvest Moon.-When our satellite on
the 18th of September presents her full round face
to the earth, the most beautiful moon of all the
year is naugurated, for during several successive
nights she appears above the eastern horizon soon
after the sun has disappeared below the western.
During the four evenings succeeding the full of
the September moon there is an average difference
in the time Of her rising of only thirty minutes
For this season the evenings following the full of
the moon in September have furnished themes for
poetic inspiration since men began to observe the
heavens. The husbandmen of old, who lived near
to nature. saw in the arrangement providential
interposition to prolong the day, and thus lend
them assistance in gathering the harvest, and
honored the occasion by giving the name of the
Harvest Moon to this special moon. Their simple
faith was more reverential than scientific, but
none the less to be admired Science, however,
explains the reason for this apparent departure
form the moons usual course, and throws to the
winds the simple theory that the moon deviates
from her answering course to aid the husband
men of the north temperate zone.

TRADITIONS of THE SUPREME COURT.
From "Perley's "reminiscences Of Sicty Years
the National Metropolis"

From "Perley's "reminiscences Of Sirty Years an
the National Metropolis"
The Supreme Court then sat in the room in the
basement of the Capitol now occupied as a law
library. 1t has an arched ceiling supported by
massive pillars that obstruct the view and is very
badly ventilated. But it is rich in traditions of
hair powder, queues, rufed shirts, knee breeches
and buckles. Up to that time no Justice had
ever sat upon the bench in trousers, nor had any
lawyer ventured to plead in boots or wearing
whskers. Their Honors, the Chief Justice and
the Associate Justices wearing silk judicial robes,
were treated with the most profound respect
When Mr.. Clay stopped one day in an argument
and, advancing to the bench, took pinch of snuff
from Judge Washington's box, saying, az pre-
ceive that your Honor sticks to the Scotch" and
then proceeded with his case, it excited astonish
ment and admiration. "Sir," said Mr.. Justice
Story ia relating the circumstance to a friend, 81
do not believe there is a in the United States
who could have done that but Mr.. Clay"
Chief Justice John Marshall, who had then
presided in the Supreme Court for more than a
quarter of century, was one of the last survivors
of those officers of the Revolutionary army who
had entered into civil service. He was tall,
gaunt man, with small head and bright black
eyes. He used to wear an unbrushed long -skirted
black coat, badly fitting waist-coat and knee
breeches, voluminous white cambria cravat
generally soiled), and black worsted stockings,
with low shoes and silver buckles. When upward
of seventy years of age he still relished the pleas
ures of the QUOT club or the whist table, and to
the last his right hand never forgot its cunning
with the billiard cue.
Bushrod Washington, who had been appointed
to the Supreme Court by President John Adams,
was by inheritance the owner of Mount Vernon,
where his remains now lie, near those OF his Illus
trious uncle. George Washington. He was small
insignificant looking man, deprived of the sight
of one eye by excessive study, negligent of dress.
and an immoderate snuff taker. He was rigid
disciplinarian and great stickler for etiquette,
and on one occasion he sat for sixteen hours with
out leaving the bench. He was also man of rare
humor. One day, as the Judges were disrobing
after having heard Senator Isham Talbot, of Ken.

of utterance, he dryly remarked, "Wel, a person
of moderate wishes could hardly desire to live
longer than the time it would take Brother Talbo
to repeat moderately that four hours speech We

Look Out for Seed Corn Now.-The Amer
iean Agricuiturist for September says: at is no
exaggeration to say that millions of dollars are
lost every year from planting seed corn that will
not grow. We tested a number of samples last
spring, of corn of our own growing and from some
of the best farmers in the neighborhood, and did
not find one that was uniformly good. Some of
the ears from the outside of the crib would be
good, but those from the inside would be poor.
Farmers would say, ~ know good seed corn when
I see it, and will warrant this to grow" but on
testing it, more than half the kernels would not
terminate.
"The trouble is not due so much to immaturity,
as to the careless method of gathering and keep
ing the corn. the corn is thoroughly dry when
put in the crib, and afterwards kept dry, the
chances are that it will prove good. The growers
of seed sweetcOrn, the late varieties OF which are
exceedingly difficult to cure properly, build mar
row racks on which the ears are spread out for
several days or weeks. There is general i'm
preston that corn for seed should be left growing
till it is thoroughly matured. This is mistake.
Practically it is far safer to cut for seed very
early and let it rpen in the shock, than to run
the risk of having it nipped by an early frost, or
of having the curing delayed by the shorter days
and damp weather of the late season. The first
point is to get the corn thoroughly dry before
putting in the crib. And then the cribs should
be very narrow and with open Stats at bottom and
sides and good wide roof, to keep off driving
rains. If all these conditions cannot be secured.
the only way we can be sure of good seed corn is
to select the best and leave the husks attach
ed to the butts and tie them up in traces and hang
the traces in an airy barn room for the winter.
The few farmers who had such corn last spring,
could get their own price for it."

He TAKES THE LEADING mean the man they
call the "Indian Doctor" Prof. lorman paid
Towsontown a visit a few weeks ago, and the
amount of people who visited Wheeer's Hotel to
see him was indeed wonderful, and what was more
wonderful was to hear them all say, "He told me
exactly what allied me AMI put his finger upon my
pains without feeling my pulse, looking at my
tongue, or asking me single question" He is,
indeed, useful man to be in the community, and
would advise all to go see him while you have
the opportunity. 1t costs you nothing. His med
icines are highly recommended by all who have
used them, and have very large sale here. His
open air concerts in the evenings beat anything
of the kind we have heard upon the street,
and are worth going miles to hear. See his ad-
