in. Still the young man refused to
get in He reiterated the statement
that he believed Jefferson to be ras-
cal, but finally was persuaded, and
again took his seat in the gig.
During the conversation which fol-
lowed Jefferson succeeded in making
friend of him, and on parting told
him that if he would come to w ashing-
ton he would give him an Office to
prove to him that he was his friend.
No, you WON'T said the boy. You
will forget me. No, will not, an
swered Jefferson, and with that the two
parted.
''Some months afterward young
Morgan, becoming disguised with
things about home, concluded to run
off .sid go to Washington after his
office. He stole out one night with
his clothes in a bundle on stick over
his shoulder and walked to Washing
ton. When he got to the city--it was
nothing but muddy village then-he
was covered with dust, and his boots
were the color of clay He went, how
ever, just as he was, up to the White

walked boldly into room where he
saw Jefferson writing, bending over a
table. He went up to him, and laying
his hand on his shoulder, said; Hello,
Tom Jefferson; I've come after that
office!'
The President looked up, but could
not remember the boy. Noting
his amazed look the young
Morgan continued There, I
told you you would not re-
member when / came here Jefferson
replied that his face was familiar, and
on Morgan telling who he was the
President greeted him kindly and asked
him to be seated. He then called q
servant and sent the boy off to be
brushed up, asking him if he had
another suit of clothes to which
he replied he had He was then
given room in the White House, and
the President told him to look about
for few days and see what kind of
office he wanted This young Morgan
did. and at the end of the first day he
told Jefferson he believed he would
take a colonelcy in the army.
President Jefferson laughed. and
told him that the colonies were always
old men. He must take something
else. but not to be in hurry. to
look around and see the city. He then
sent midshipman with him to make
things pleasant for him, and in a day
or two young Morgan decided that he
would rather be midshipman than
anything else. Jefferson at once gave
him the appointment, and he went on
ship Immediately. He made a splen-
did naval officer, and he died a
commodore. Washington Cleveland

Root Crops.

The root crop is far better entitled
to be called 1.-The pivotal crop" of the
farm than grass is. 1t is indeed the
pivot around which the whole of the
farm work will revolve. Five acres of
roots should yield from four thousand
to five thousand bushels or one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and fifty
tons. One ton of roots will feed one
cow or one steer for about forty to
fifty days, and the five acres will there
fore provide for the feeding of thirty
head of stock during six months With
this supply of roots and plenty of straw
and some purchased bran or oil cake
meal, then, thirty head of stock can be
fed or fattened, and by good manage
ment two hundred tons of excellent
manure can be made for the improve
ment of the land. If this crop, then,
does not deserve to occupy the central
position in the farmers mind, what
other crop can? It is very important
just now to consider this subject, be-
cause If roots are to be grown immedi-
ate preparations should be made.-N.

cREDuLITY.

Notable ConsultatfOn With Somnambu-
lists In France.
Credulity, belief in somnambulists.
and so on are to be met with not among
the uneducated classes alone, as is
proved by case connected with the
authenticity of an alleged historical
document, which latterly engaged the
attention of the Paris Tribunal of Cor
rectional Police. The complainant,
who described herself as descendant
of a Governor of India under Louis
XIV, had in her possession document
showing that in 1877 her ancestor had
deposited a treasure of forty million
francs in his castle of Vilcoq. She took
certain M. Robert into her confidence.
and. neither of them having means. of
their own to carry on researches, two
persons were persuaded to advance
money on condition of receiving por-
ton of the treasure when recovered.
M. Robert set to work, found the pre-
else spot where the Chateau de Vilcoq
had formerly stood, and obtained the
consent of the Marquise de Civrie, to
whom the estate now belongs, to dig
the ground, it being understood that
she was also to receive portion of the
property supposed to be hidden there.
Digging went on for long time, but
nothing was found. Three somnam-
bulists were then consulted, each of
whom fixed on different spot, and in
each spot excavations on very ex-
tensive scale were made. Briefly, the
search was carried on with such en-
ergy that the property of the Marquise
was completely devastated, and that
lady, quite Disguised, had to call the
police to turn the explorers out of her
estate. Debts, however, had been in
CURED by M. Robert, who, beginning
to doubt whether the alleged descend
ant of the Governor of India under
Louis XIV" was not an impostor, re-
fused to restore her the Historical
document, had it examined by ex-
perts, and learned that it must have
been drawn up within the last fifty
years. The Tribunal awarded him
fifty francs damages, but the Marqhise
has obtained nothing for the damage
done to her estate.-London Stand

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

How Charles Morgan Became a Commo-
dore Through Jefferson's influence.
Colonel Wintersmith, of Kentucky,
told the following good story of
Thomas Jefferson at the Ebbitt House
last night don't think it has ever
been published:
Said he: "One day when Thomas
Jefferson was riding through Virginia
on his way from Washington to Month
cello he came upon boy trudging
along with his clothes in satchel,
which hung on stick from his shout
der. He stopped his gig and asked
the young man if he did not want to
ride. The youth looked at him mo-
ment in bold way, and finally said
yes. He was motioned to get in, and
in moment he was sitting by the side
of the President, who opened the con-
versation by asking him who he was
and where he was going. He replied
that his name was Morgan, and that
he was going home from school, and
continued by putting the same ques-
tons to the President, saying: 4 beg
your pardon, stranger, but what might
your name be?'
'sThe President replied, My name is
Thomas Jefferson
.sThe boy looked up astonished, and
asked. Not Tom jefferson, President
of the United Statesp'
Yes. replied jefferson, and as he
did so the boy jumped from the gig
and into the road, saying. I have
heard of you, Tom jefferson. My

The 29th of September has passed;
che world still wags on it's pace and
will no doubt continue to do so ssnn-
til the last syllable ofrecorded time"
Mountains have been erected from
the smallest molehills, and forgetting
the Injunction that sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof" many
have passed through season of
direful dread and anticipation. Now
let all this stop. We are not placed
on this planet to live in constant
dread of calamity. It is the part of
wisdom for each and all to abide with
at least some show of faith in the all
wise providence of Him who holds in
His hands the destinies of His Great
ures. Let us turn to the real affairs
Of life and trust in implicit faith to
the common Father of all to mete
out to us according to our deserts.
We hope for a season at least, to hear
but little of predictions and forebod-
iDgs OF evil. Let every man and wo-
man discharge their duties as best
they can, and onr word for it the
same protecting hand that never fails
to dispense rewards to the deserving,
will be stretched forth to sustain us.
Let us address ourselves to the affairs
of life in our special sphere Of duty
and attend strictly to them. He will
attend to therest, fanatics and cranks
Of whatever grade to the contrary

vention assembled, That we heartily indorse

diate needs Of the Fourth District, at the same
time noting with pride and pleasure his steady
growth and rise in the general Congress into

fortitude there may be? The victory

side of the dying.
His second exclamation was, "My
God, my God, why hast Thou forsak.
en- mew We will not dive into the
deep mysteries Of that expression
we will not pretend to be wiser than
what is written, endeavoring to com.
prehend where the human is mingled
with Divine-we will take the matter
simply as it stands. It is plain from
this expression that the Son Of God
felt as if He had been deserted by His
Father. We know that He was moi
deserted by Him, or else God had
denied Himself, after saying, .sThis is
my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased" And they who maintain
that this was real desertion, attribute
that to the Lord of Love which can
alone belong to Judas-the desertion
OF innocence. It was the hiding Of
Gods countenanoe. Our Master was
worn, faint, and exhausted; His body
was hanging from four lacerated
wounds; and more than that, there
was much to perplex the Redeemer's
human feelings, for He was suffering
there, the innocent for the guilty
For once Gods law seemed reversed;
and then came the human cry, aMy
God, my God, why hast Thou forsak-
en- me ?"
