A North Carolina Hermit.

In cutting through gorge in the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Buncombe County, North Carolina, recently, a party of convicts, in charge of Captain W. c. Troy, at work on railroad, found an ancient hermitage dug out of the side of the mountain, in secluded place. It was rude hut, constructed with a few poles and boards, with one window with single pane, Sx6, to ad- init the light The only occupants were an old hermit, who has lived there more than fifty years, large yellow dog, big cat and a raccoon. The appear ances were those of happy family. In conversation with the old man, Captain Troy found him very ignorant. He never had seen steam-engine or a railroad, and was great ly disturbed because the laborers interfered with his home. His bed clothes were large bear-skins sewed to- gether, with beautiful buck hide as his fancy spread to use on big occasions. The brackets on the walls were of inn mense deer horns, and the gun rack over the door was of the same material. The old fellow is a great singer, and amused the Captain greatly with vocal music.

THE FASHIONS.
Gay Velvets and Pushes Disputing the
 Supremacy With Daintier Fabrics.

Gay velvets and Pushes Disputing the
 Supremacy With Daintier Fabrics.
 Pale pink or blue velvets and plushes this winter dispute the supremacy with fabrics of daintier sort in the creation of gowns for ball and reception wear.
 Fashionable modistes now send home their elegant evening toilets supplied with two separate bodices, one high cut, with half long sleeves, the other low cut for balls and the opera. The latter are sharply pointed front and back, and lace behind. There is but a single dart each side of the immediate front, but a deep cutaway side form, beginning at the lower portion of the arm-size, adjusts graceful taper to the figure.
 Astrakhan is considerably used for entire jackets, these made with loose fronts with deep revers down each side. Many are shaped to close at the neck only, where they are held by large sil- yer or bronze clasp, and falling away they slightly disclose vest of velvet or plush, or one of fine lady's cloth closely fitting the form. A few show waist coat of futile laid in flat plaits held in with belt and fastened with buckle or other ornament matching the one at the throat.
 Belt and cloak clasps and buckles are now made of such fine gold and silver many of them set with half-precious gems-that they are classed as fine jew elry. The newest devices are made of beaten gold studded with small jewels and festooned with fine link chains la Theodora. The medieval patterns are made with coats of arms, mailed knights on prancing steeds, or with heads of historical and mythological personages in relief, two shades of gold and silver or gold and bronze generally showing in the devices. Silver bells, with chate- laines attached are rich and novel. Some of these are in filigree; others are chased in intricate and antique designs.
 In new underwear for the winter are jersey corset-covers of all wool, silk and wool, or fine ribbed stockinette, these fitting the form like a glove. All silk undervests are made in jersey style, fit- ted without seam, and shape them selves to the wearer. Knitted vests of fine Saxony wool are made exactly like infants shirts, in close, soft ribs that shape themselves. Striped jersey fan nels are made into underskirts and fin ished with a crochet or knitted edge. Skirts of fine eider-down flannel in 6e6e blue, pearl, cream or pale pink are made with simple hem and edged with woolen lace. Knitted short skirts of deep cardinal Germantown wool, or those woven in deep ribs, are edged around the bottom with four-inch cro- chet edges in lace-like designs.-M. r. Post.

gas space, oval in shape instead of rounded, as offering less resistance to the air than the rounded surface of the balloon. Beneath this gas space is a space for small engine and boiler, which are used to work the propellers which are at each end. The gas space is light enough to carry up into the air the weight of the engine and boiler, and then the propellers are employed to advance the vessel in any direction. There is also steering apparatus. As I have said, great many patents have been issued, but none of these great air ships have been made, because of their cost. Some of the inventions provide for the lower portion of this gas space to be hollow, and fitted up with accom- modations for passengers, with cabins and outside promenade. ."
 "What do these cranks expect to &C., complish?" asked the listener.
 "Yon must not call them cranks," was the reply, ''for that does them an injustice. Several of the recent pat entees are not only men of ability, but men of wealth. They believe that air ship navigation is feasible project, but they do not seem to be inclined to risk their own money. Of course, do not pretend to say whether this idea is capable of being put into practical shape or not. It is enough to say that scientific men are of the opinion that the idea that promises the best results is that which is suggested by the movement of bodies in the air. For instance, you throw piece of slate or shingle into the air. You will find that it sails along with its edge to the wind, now going up as if sliding up hill on the air and then go- ing down in the same way, until finally gravitation brings it to the earth, the initial force being exhausted. A bird flies in the same manner. New inventors propose to construct flat surface of silk or some light sub- stance, which is stretched upon frame, An engine is suspended from it, which works propellers on the top of this flat surface. In motion this arrangement is made to initiate the piece of shingle and dips obliquely when going up and down so as to slide along on the air, as it were. The propellers keep it in mo- ton, and there are also arrangements at the ends to steer the affair.
 "The air ships of modern times," continued MT. Woodward, "are of great length, and with their engines and other apparatus cost great deal of money. The inventors are hopeful of being able to enlist the interest of cap- italists. They are confident of being able some day of reaching practical solution of the problem of aerial naviga. ton. ."- Washington Republican.

MODERN GARDENING.
Hints to Farmers Who Appreciate tn,
 Benefits of Practical Gardening.

Hints to Farmers Who Appreciate the
 Benefits of Practical Gardening.
 The old plan of having little garden spot, spading it up and tending it by hand, is the plan that presents itself to many mans mind when he is urged to have good garden. Naturally he thinks this is great deal of bother, and it is. We do not blame a farmer for not wanting to enter upon such work. But that is not the way gardening is now generally done on farm. The garden is more like field than it is like the garden of our younger days. It is laid out so that there may be long rows. The ground is plowed, and the horse is brought into acquisition to cul- tivate. In this way the garden is little more trouble than the corn field. Hand labor is tedious and it is always expensive. We would advise farmer to have a good garden, even if he must cultivate it by hand, but the way to do it is to plant in long rows and cultivate it with horse power. If the tillage is by hand by all means have the most improved imple- ments Speaking of sowing seed, per haps this would be good place to give the quantities of seed to SOW single row of one hundred yards.

THAD OLIVER.
A Few Words in Honor of an Unfortunate
 Southern Genius.

A Few Words in Honor of an Unfortunate
 Southern Genius.
 Whilevisiting the beautiful little town of Buena Vista, some time ago, tum- bled on some "reminiscences of the bril- lient genius who wrote "All Quiet Along the Potomac To-Night." Poor Thad Oliver! Bright, fascinating, brilliant and dissipated. He could make the finest speech of any man at the bar. He was better half-drunk than his brethren were in their coolest moments. His puns, his enigmas, and jokes, to say nothing of his sweet little poems, were quoted by large circle of enthusiastic friends, but he lived out his days before he had time to fulfill the promise of his youth.
 can we'll imagine how that sensitive soul was moved to formulate that grand poem, as he stood picket at some lonely post beside the dark Potomac River, while
 The stars up above with their glittering eyes Keep guard, for the army is sleeping.
 He had no accurate notion of the value of his work, and the scrawl was passed from one to another of his con- rades, and around the camp fire they read and commented upon it. They were true critics. One of his comrades told me that he had been moved to tears by the lines:
 There is only the sound of the lone sentry's
 tread,
 As he tramps from the rock to the foun-
 tain, And he thinks of the two on the low trundle
 bed.
 In the cot far away on the mountain.
 And when the battle was over, when poor Thad had been roughly saluted by the grim messenger and lay in an un- known grave on battle-scarred slope among the Virginia hills, then the lit terati read and wondered. First one and then another of the sweet singers of the earth were credited with this mas terpiece of poetry. And there lay the author, unheeding the wrangling and conflicting criticisms of those who wise ly sat themselves in the seat of judg- ment.
 Hark! Was it the night wind that rushed
 through the trees2
 Was'tthe moonbeams so wondrously fash It looked like a musket, Ha! Mary, good
 by!'
 And the life blood was ebbing and splash.
 ing
 All quiet along the Potomac to night; No sound save the rush of the river; While soft falls the dew on the face of the
 dead.
 The picket's off duty forever!

SHEEP HUSBANDRY.
A Business That Requires Continual and
 Honest Study.

A Business That Requires Continual and
 Honest Study.
 It is the reading man who makes the best success in life, for he keeps up with the progress of the times. In the papers he finds the steady record of all that is being done or learned in raising sheep and growing wool. It is not an uncommon experience to find inexperienced fockmasters in the midst of dilemma to them, which is no dilemma to others; and it ought to be fact recognized by everybody who is engaged in the business of rals- ing sheep and growing wool, or who contemplates engaging in it, that there are some intricacies about it. The idea is too prevalent that sheep will take care of themselves. Years gone by they were largely left to do so, and as we have often remarked, they will prob ably do better with less care than any animal on the farm. But if sheep hus- bandry is to be made really profita- ble business, it must be understood and
 
 tion. And this, of course, must begin with the breeding.
 But while the fiockmaster can learn much by reading with reference to this, he can not learn everything, and it is as important for him to know this as it is to know that he would be benefited by reading. There is great deal that can only be learned by experience in almost every business. But in sheep husbandry there is conspicuously such a thing as natural adaptability, and unless man is naturally fitted for the business he will never be be a successful fiockmaster. One writer says that ''it is gift of nature," and he is largely right. But with this gift an intelligent beginning will likely re- suit favorably. To the vast majority of breeders sheep husbandryis is not the nice art that it is to the originator of breed. Sheep are kept for the money they bring in from year to year, and the highest aim is to keep the flock up to a stand ard, or to improve it to an ideal stand ard. Get such ram, therefore, as you want, one that is strong, and of marked prepotency; and if you get a ram of that character, better keep him just as long as possible. You will then have a uni form flock, and know what you will have right along. If more than one is used, aim to strengthen the weak points of one by using the oth- CTS according to defined system. The subject of in-and-in breeding will likely present itself very soon to the intelligent, thoughtful breeder. If the system is followed to any extent, it must be with the utmost care,
 In the selection of the eve for breed ing purposes, it will be we'll to select carefully if the flock furnishes the op- portunity. When flock is being bred up, there is often little to choose be- tween the ewes. They may be all poor enough, and it is necessary to take such as we have. Short stapled, light shear CTS, of course, are to be rejected when there is choice. Long necked, flat ribbed and leggy ewes are not fit to breed from if anything better can be had. Neither breed from one with a sharp trump. If you have eve whose hind quarters are very heavy as com pared with the fore-quarters. she will make good breeder Western Rural

SELF.coNTROL.
A Trait Whose Beauty and Power Can Not |
 Be Over-Estimated.


 Be Over-Estimated.
 Who does not admire the power and beauty of this trait! To my mind, it more than any other gives honor and dignity to its possessor. Witness two cases of behavior under provocation. Abuse borne in quiet patience awakens for the sufferer our ready sympathy; while one who rages and VOWS venge- ance on his persecutor loses part of our pity, in the scorn which he provokes. There is greatness in the one who holds himself in submission. If it is ''better to rule one's own spirit, than to take city," how much better than to wield, through selfshness, the wills of our friends. There are those who, if fearful of losing their own way, will indulge in a fit of passion, even to bringing on illness, making all the other members of the family feel obliged to lay aside their own feelings and walk with the greatest fear of exciting such consequences. Cases have been known where this person was not child but the wife and mother of a grown-up family. Father and children may develop an unusual amount of kind thoughtfulness, rendering them very pleasing; but, alas! it can not prevent the contempt they must feel for the self ish and passionate wilfulness which has wrought in them this result. Dear read CTS! You can not afford to grow into such a character Commence early to practice self-contrOl. Christidn dt Work.
