The Work the Negro Loves.

The negro loves to plough and split
rails. He is perfectly happy when fol-
lowing mule on hot summer day,
and happier still when the horn blows
for dinner and he can ride home side
ways. The mule is happy too, and an
swers the horn with cheerful bray. 1t
is astonishing how much sense an old
farm mule has got. l knew one that
when it was most dinner time kept one
ear back toward the house when going
the other way, and kept both forward
when he was coming back. One day l
bowed the horn about IL o'clock to see
what Beck would do. She was at the
end of the row, and it took the darky
ten minutes to make her turn round and
60 to ploughing again. But it is fun to
see the darkies when summer rain
comes up. They will plough on until
the shower comes, and then mount and
lope home and get wet all over, and by
that time the rain is over and they have
to 60 back again. The darky takes
more care of his head than his feet He
don't want his head to get wet or cold
He sleeps with his head to the fire and
covers it up good, and lets his feet stick
out any way. He will warm his hands
before he will his toes. There is one
thing that darky can do better than a
white man. He can beat us making
fires on cold, wintry morning. Some
times when the wood was wet and the
kindling poor. / have worked over
fire a good while and almost despaired
of making it burn, but darky never
fails. The fire seems to recognize him,
and l have thought that may be it drew
some colored caloric from his carcass

How Pearls Are Caught.

Some of the people in the Bahamas
live upon fishing, especially for pearls,
saws a correspondent l watched them
fishing for them. They 60 out in small
boats to where the water is about TWEEN
ty feet deep, where, by the use of the
water glass, they can easily see any Oh
ject at the bottom. This glass consists
of four boards about fifteen inches
long, nailed together, in the form of a
hollow pyramid; the small end is closed
with piece of ordinary glass. By put
ting this end few inches below the
surface of the water and looking in the
other, they can discern any object at
considerable depths. As soon as they
see a conch they dive down Tor it. AT
ter having collected number of shells
they are taken to the shore and the
conch is examined for its pearl. They
can usually tell by feeling, but to make
sure they cut them up, when, if the
conch contains a pearl, it will drop out
as soon as the flesh is opened. The
pearl is simply hard formation inside
the flesh of the conch, and has no ap-
parent connection with it. 1t is rarely
that one is found. Often hundreds of
conchs are caught without finding sim
gle pearl, while Oh the other hand, two
or three may be found in a catch of half
a dozen conchs. June is said to be the
best month for them The fishermen
easily get from So to 800 piece for
their treasures according to their quail
ity, the beautiful pink ones bringing
the highest prices.-Ne10 Orleans Times

A Valuable Reputation.

By insisting upon his reporters being
accurate Mr.. Childs gained for the
Ledger a reputation that endures to this
dav. | once asked him: What sem
tence will best tell the secret of the
Ledger's SUGGEST" He replied: Zone
word best tells the story-Reliability.
/ heard a striking illustration of this
once. The Ledger was the first news
paper in the country to publish the an
nouncement of the wrong-doing of Sec
rotary of War Belknap, for which he
was subsequently impeached The morn
ing that the news appeared, Adolph L.
Borie. ex-Secretary of the Navy. walked
into Mr.. Child's private office, and pre-
Stunning upon his intimate and warm
acquaintanceship said rather warmly:
That's an outrageous thing published
about Belknap this morning. / have
written him letter expressing my in
dignation and my implicit confidence
in his integrity"
Mr.. Childs simply said: Have you
mailed itP''
Eyes; why?" inquired Mr.. Borie.
'Then go down to the post-office and
withdraw it." answered the publisher.
You'll be sorry you wrote it. That
article is true. How do l know itP Why,
it is in the Ledger. l don't even have
to inquire what sources of information
we have. 1t wouldn't be and couldn't
be in the Ledger if it were incorrect.
The same day Andrew G. Curtin walked
into the office of the late Morton Nc
Michael, in the North american build
ing, and addressing the genial editor in
wrathful tones, said: Have you read
that infamous thing about BelknapP 1t
is outrageous that newspapers should
print such monstrous assertions. Out
rageousr'
lit is all true" quietly replied the
ex-mayor.
What do you meanP" inquired the
rugged war governor, excitedly.
Il mean" said Mr.. McMichael, "that
it is in the Ledger and therefore it is
true. If it was in every newspaper in
the land and not in the Ledger l would
not believe it. but being in the Ledger,
although in no other newspaper, know
it is unfortunately true"
And so 1t was.-Philadelphia NeDs.

In the course of a lecture on Kew
Gardens, recently delivered at the West
minister Friends Meeting House, Lon
don, j. G. Baker said the total number
of Enthusiastically tropical plants
known to science might be roughly esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000. The
plants of the north temperate zone COM
prise about 10000 species. THE total
flora of the arctic zone does not reach
1000 species, and the plants which are
confined to the higher levels of the
mountains of the north temperate zone
may possibly be twice as numerous, in
all 5000 species of what gardeners call
alpines, that is, plants specially adapted
to a cold, damp climate with a short
summer" The same speaker estimates
the total number OF plants represented
in the British possessions at $4,000 spe-

How Talmage Treated an Evolution.

1t was suggested to Mr.. Talmage that
he get up lecture on "Cranks" and re-
late his experience with cranky people.
He laughed and said that while his ex-
perience was wide and varied on the
subject of ''Cranks," yet there was one
story that always came to his mind
when the conversation turned on these
peculiar people. He was once very
busy writing in his room at hotel and
a card came up. He gave the bell-bov
instructions that he could see nobody
and dismissed him. A little while after
ward the card came up a second time.
and he told the bell-boy to tell that man
to call on the next day, that he wouldn't
see the angel Gabriel if he called to-
day, and the bell-boy's eyes stuck out.
In few minutes the card came up a
third time, and then Mr. Talmage went
downstairs to see who his persistent
visitor was. A man stepped up to him
and said:
you are MIR. Talmage?"
81 am, SIR"
'Well, sir, am an evolutionist and
l want to discuss that question with
you. | am also an annihilationist. |
believe that when l die that will be the
end of me-"

Electrician Franklin.

Franklin continued to draw sparks
with the key He charged vial with
the electricity he got and gave shock
from it. Now it seems to me that
Frenchman who had followed Franklin's
writings and letters-for he had been
for three years of the belief that he could
draw electricity from the clouds-had
about month before his discovery also
obtained a demonstration. Therefore
the Royal society of London gave the
Frenchman the credit, and not the man
of whom the Frenchman was pupil.
But Mr. Collinson, in London, who
belonged to the Royal society, published
these experiences of Franklin, and they
began to be translated and copied
around among the scientific men, and
Button, the man who first proposed the
doctrine of evolution, saying that he be-
lieved man to have been once monkey,
went out and drew some lightning, too.
Button got friend to publish in popu-
lar form what Franklin had done. So
King Louis XIV, the man who had so
many mistresses, thought he would like
to see some electricity tished for. They
took the king out and gave him little
shock. When the king. in 1852, joined
in the experiments everybody went out
fishing for clouds One of these imita-
tors by the name of Prof. Richmann, in
Russia, was killed by catching too big
a cloud. He got the largest cloud on his
rod of any fisherman of the time, but
could not land it. These little matters
Attorney General Garland must remem-
Der, and not suppose that he is the first
martyr to electricity
At that timet he city of Philadelphia
was hardly known anywhere. 1t as
tonished Europe that man who pub
lished newspaper in an unknown
town should precede the world in these
electrical discoveries. Franklin, how
ever, went ahead of cloud-fishing, and
the next point he made was that the
clouds of a thunder-gust are generally
in negative state of electricity, though
occasionally positive, and that, there
fore, it is the earth that hits the clouds
and draws the strokes, and not the
clouds that strike the earth. This was
in 1853 Franklin is, therefore, univer-
sally acknowledged to be at the head OF
electrical science.-Gath's Washington

KIT CARSON.

Carson. He was at one time in tempot-
airy command of government post on
the frontier. He was an uneducated

his name. Some of his subordinates
we're aware of this. In making requisi-
tons on the commissary of the post they
got Kits name signed to a demand for
several bottles of fine old rye whisky.
By night three-fourths of the command
were drunk. Kit promptly ordered an
investigation of the offenders. The evil
dence brought things down to the com.
missary, who produced Kits order. The
old frontiersman looked at it for q while,
obviously and doubtfully, and then, as
he saw that it was certainly his signature,
he said: 81 don't understand this thing,

For years past the French and EnglisI

For years past the French and English
perfumers have had a recognized mono
poly of the trade III elegant toilet articles,
especially extracts aud manufactured
perfumes; but the recent introduction OF
"Edenia" into the boudoir of fashion
has brought about an entirely different
state of affairs. This delicate perfume,
which may be called the extract of the
Garden of Eden, is one of the most rein
ed odors that can be used in the toilet,
for the reason that, while it is so distinct
and satisfying to the senses, it is wholly
unobtrusive and only elegantly sugges-
tive. There is nothing more vulgar than
strong, pentrating perfume, and yet it
is difficult thing to secure one that is
both delicate and lasting. Edenia poss-
esses these qualities in a rare degree.
1t is prefume agreeable to the most
fastidious taste, and has been highly IA
vored by the prince of Wales, and his
critical clique of followers. Those who
desire to add to the elegance of their per-
SOP and toilet should try Edenia by all
means.-Godey,s Lady's Book.

How TO BRUSH THE TEETH.-This is

How TO BRUSH THE TEETH.-This is 5
matter of no small Importance. Most
people brush across the teeth from right
to left. This manner of brushing will
not remove the accumulations from be-
tween them, but tends rather to force the
debris into the interstices. The brush
should be placed against the teeth at the
gums, and rotated toward the masticating
surfaces. 1t will thus act somewhat like
bundle of tooth picks In order to
make the werk effectual, the brush should
be applied, as described, both inside and
outside of the teeth, and also upon the
grinding surfaces of the double teeth.
The mouth should then he thoroughly
rinsed with tepid water.-Chieago Jour

MANITOBA, TIE SPEAKING GOD.

MANITOBA, THE SPEAKING GOD.
Far away in the great Northwest lies a
lake which has given name to the pro-
vince formed in thu Red River country,
known as Manitoba. From an island in
this lake, in the stiffness of night issues
a mysterious sound. The Ojibway In
dams will on no account approach this
island or make a landing there. They
believe it to be the home of the "Mani-
toba, the Speaking God" This curious
sound is caused by the beating of the
waves on the large, flat. thin stones
that line the shores. At the northern
extremity of the island there is low cliff
of fine-grained. compact limestone, which,
under the stroke of a hammsi, clinks
like steel. The waves beatip.r on the
shore at the foot of the cliff cause the
fallen fragments to rub against each OF
her and give out sound resembling the
chimes Of distant church bells. This
phenomenon occurea when the gales
blow from the north, and then as the
winds subside low wailing sounds like
whisperipg voices are heard IN the air.
Travellers assert that the effect is very
impressive, and they have been awaken
ed at night under the impression that
they have been listening to church bells.

THE Senate has passed bill authoriz-
ing the Secretary of the Interior to sell
timber upon the lands reserved for the
use of the Menominee tribe of Indians
in Wisconsin. The timber is to be ap-
praised by two disinterested appraisers,
to be appointed by the Secretary, in
eighty acre lots, according to the public
survey. The appraisal shall state the
quantity, quality, and value of pine tim
Der growing on each lot. The appraisers
shall report at the land office at Menssha,
Wis, six days before the day of sale,
which shall be advertised for two months
in three papers in Wisconsin. The sale
shall be held at auction, but the timber
shall not be sold for less than the APP
praised value and for cash only. The
purchasers may have five years to remove
the timber. If the Secretary shall deem
it best for the Indians he shall authorize
the Indian Agent to employ Indians to
cut all or any part of said timber into
logs and haul the same to the bank OF
the river instead of selling it at auction,
and the logs shall then be sold to the
highest bidder for cash.
