Esq. Ptman made a speech last
night at Moriah church, with a view
of organizing an Agricultural Wheel
at that place, hut the weather being
unfavorable only Il few werein attend
ance, consequently fash was the re-
suit.
Mr. Newt Inman, living mile and
a half east of hwn, had his house
burned the 18th inst. The cause o.
the FIRE is not altogether known, but
it was supposed to have caught from
the cookstove while Mrs. Inman had
gone to W. r. McCaslin's, distance
of three or four hundred yards, after
water. 1t seems, though, that she
was absent from the house only a
very short time, and when she res
turned the fire had gained such head
way that an entrance could not be
made with any degree of safety in or
der to save anything, so the house
and all of its contents were totally
destroyed. We sympathize with Mr..
lnman very much in his loss. The
good people are responding literally,
and we hope he will soon have a suf-
fciency to make him comfortable
again.

Creek, was married the 18th inst,

first train for New York. He carried the
news to Beall, who was confined at Gov
erncr- Island. and the two men had a
joliification.
"Beall accepted the Presidents prom
Use OF pardon as final, and watched the
approach Of the day appointed for his
execution with easy indifference.
Booth was frequent visitor 10 his
imprisoned friend. and although they
soon commenced to think that there was
unnecessary delay in the transmission Of
the pardon, they did not take the alarm
until before the appointed day when the
preparations being made for the execu-
ton aroused them from their false Sc
curity.
Booth was frantic with terror and
rage. and Bealls condition was even
more pitiable. The respite did not come,
and the next day Beall was hanged.
Booth never would forgive Lincoln
for his failure to keep his promise. He
became almost wild for revenge, and in
my opinion that is why he went to Wash
ingtOn and entered into the historic con-
spiracy Of assassination. n. Y. Star.

was asked by a woman how much
he would charge her for cake OF
ice.
He told her
The woman expressed surprise, and
said that the man who generally brought
her ice did not charge her . near as
much as he did.
But. madam" answered the ped
dler, my ice does not melt away like
other ice, and is worth more. The hotter
the weather is the better my stock stands

"Oh, we'll, If that is so. I will take a
cake" responded the delighted woman.

Yes; Tim who sells papers is hearty.
And Maggie knows never pain;
But Milly, there. seems like flower
All beaten and bruised by the rain.
You see, sir, the roses and dimpleS
Have gone from each poor little knee;
Just keep a red rose iii tie cel.ar
You know what the flower VIII be!
She dreams every night OF the country,
OF singing birds. flowers, and bees,
Though she never has seen a rose grow
ing.
Nor nest OF bird in the trees.
And she laughs quite aloud in her pleas
ure.
And c APPS her soft hands with delight;
She stays all day long in this attic
But lives in the country al night.
She has read. and has thought, till her
fancy
Has built sweet world of her own,
Away from the rank-smelling alley
And the tall, gloomy buildings OF
stone.
Almost she can smell the sweet clover,
And hide in the tents OF new hay,
Or climb to the bough where the cherries
Are hiding their red cheeks away.
10 think OIL the VelVeIy meadows
Lying. unused in the sun,
To think OF the acres OF daisies
Down-dropping their blooms, one by
one!
Yet never patch where my Milly
May tumble and play the day long,
Her cheeks growing red with the clovers,
And her ianSuid foot nimble and
strong!
The sleek cattle rove in the pastures.
The goats have the hillsides to-day;
The lambs stand knee-deep in the
grasses.
With Gods leave to live and to play.
They breathe the sweet health of the
mountains.
Nor lift their dull eyes in prayer;
While children like Milly are dying
For want of the sunshine and air.
Oh. you. who dwell out of this Babel
In country homes peaceful and Tar,
1t may be. a little girls longing
Will travel and reach where you are!
It may be cool doors Will swing open
And tender hands stroke her white
face;
Just hear her laugh out in her sleeping
/ She's dreaming of just such place!

Engagement Rings.

In an article on engagement rings
French writer says:
DO not choose the ruby, it is too
snowy. loud and indiscreet. Good taste
inclines toward the sapphire and dia-
mond. Of which the one does not go well
together without the other. DO not
choose large sapphire surrounded by
diamonds, but ask your jeweller-artist
to interlace in happy combination the
sapphire and the diamond.
1.-The turquoise is also a tasteful
stone, but when it is constantly worn
it has the immense disadvantage to
change color, and TO this change most
women attach a sad and sentimental
superstition. 1t should not, therefore,
be chosen for the first present, which
is to be worn and cherished while
life lasts, which remains from the
days of youth while everything else
changes"

Precious stones Found I'm Illinois.

A geologiSt asserts that he has recently
found in gravel stratum along the Sanga-
mon river, Ills, three rough diamonds Of the
first water, and at least a dozen fine tcpazes,
ell in the same locality He also states that
he has found a large number Of pearls in
uussels from the Sangamon The gentle
man, whose name is not given, Is vouched
for as a man of trustworthiness and educa-
ton, and is said to have had experience In
the diamond mines in Brazil These stones
have already been tested by an experienced
lapidary and pronounced to be diamonds.
The topazes are easily distiaguishable as such.
They are all large enough to be cut to fair
advantage While the finder lays no claim
to have made anything like an extensive dis
coyery, he believes occasional precious stones
will lie found wherever this stratum of gravel
overlies the limestone He is reticent about
the exact place of his find, but it is known to
be within eight miles Of Springfield Chi

ApothersWay of Looking at 1t.

One of the best posted men in New York
on the subject of emigration is Maj. Charles
F. Ulrich. He is connected with the Mutual
Life Insurance company, is member of the
board of commissioners having charge of
Castle Garden, and was last fall the Repub-
lican candidate for state treasurer. He gave
some figures lately entirely destructive of the
popular belief that Europe was pouring the
dregs of her population into America Said
he: "In five years and a half about =. GOO
persons have arrived at Castle Garden. OF
this number only 6,000 have been returned as
paupers. These emigrants brought with
them not less than Sl50,0000o0. They paid
for inland transportation over SAG, 900, 600. The
arrivals have paid $4,000 year duty fees at
Castle Garden. If you admit the productive
value of a man to be only LOCO these 1900,
600 people are a big item in the nations
healthful growth. The number of emigrants
who become public burden is so small as
compared with those who add to the coun-
try's wealth as to be scarcely appreciable. It
is all nonsense to talk about our being over
run with foreign paupers.-New York Cor.

Ingenious SwindIins with Torn Checks.
A new and ingenious swindlc has been de-
tected. as follows: y check, say for S1o IS
obtained from q depoSitor at a bank and
blank check exactly like the fllled-in check Is
secured The two checks are laid one upon
the other, 50 that the edges are exactly even.
Both checks are then torn irregularly across
and in such way that the signature on the
filed check appears on one piece and the
amount and name of payee on the other. The
checks having been held together while being
torn, Of course one piece of the blank check
viii exactly fit the other piece Of the filed
check The swindler then fills ia one piece of
the blank check with the name of the payee
and the amount to silt himself, say 5000,
takes il with the piece of genuine check con-
tanning the signature Of the bcnk, and ex-
plains that the check was accidentally torn.
The teller can put the pieces together, and as
they ct exactly the chances are that he viii
think that the pieces are parts of the same
Chec. and become a victim of the swindle.
The trick, of course, suggests its own remedy.
The teller should refuse to pay any check
that is nutilated.
