The Anders nyille Prison Pen.

The site of the old pen is comprised
in four hundred and fifty a re farm
owned by Mr.. Kennedy, bought by him
since the war The farm is under cul-
tivation and is profitable to the energet-
ic owner. The pen proper was located
on both sides of the little creek, called
by the natives ''branch," running due
east. The branch divided the pen into
north and south half, and both halves
slaped gradually down to it.-Save a
few posts here and there, and a slight
ridge of earth raised along the line, all
traces of the fence which once inclosed
an army of prisoners are gone. My
guide made stagger at locating the
historic dead line" but was himself
not satisfied with it. Many of the wells
dug by the prisoners have been filled
up, but a dozen or more are still there,
and have an average depth of fifty to
sixty feet. In a few places holes are
found in which Kennedy said the poor
devils used to burrow to get away from
the hot sun. The pen was unprotected
by shade. Considerable foliage now
grows on the site, all sprung up since
the war, however. Indeed, trees that
grew since the stockade was abandoned
have been cut OF size sufficient to
work up into fourteen and fifteen rails
each. On part of the prison grounds
a crop of oats is now growing and on
the north side the earth is all prepared
for corn planting. At the extreme west
end of the grounds bubbles beautiful
spring of clear water which, the guide
said, did not exist when the place was
first occupied. 1t is called providence
Spring" named because of its "provi-
Dental" discovery. A Franklin Smith,
of Ohio, who was prisoner here and
who recently visited the spot, told Ken
nedy that on the 18th August, 1868, he
was on the spot and there was not even
a moisture there to welcome a bubbling
spring of natures beverage. 1t is likely
that in digging some one of the num-
crous wells on the slope above, the
watercourse had in some way been in
terrupted or changed and this bountiful
spring was the result. At any rate to
the hungry and thirsty band confined
within the pen it was veritable god
send. In the branch on the west side
of the pen site was laid logs for the
purpose of deepening the water. Some
of them have been washed out and 9TH
ers still lie where their hewers placed

BOY INVENTORS.
Soys that Make their Mark I'm this Great
World of Ours.

Some of the most important inven-
tons have been the work of mere BOYS.
The invention of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by boy. Watt
eft the engine in very incomplete
condition from the fact that he had no
way to open or close the valves except
by means of levers operated by the
hand.
He set up large engine at one of the
mines, and boy was hired to work
these valve levers. Although this was
not hard work, yet it required his con-
slant attention. AS he was working
these levers he saw that parts of the en-
CINE moved in the right direction, and
at the exact time that he had to open or
close the valves. He procured a strong
cord and made one end fast to the proper
part of the engine and the other end to
the valve lever. Then he had the salts
faction of seeing the engine move off
with perfect regularity of motion.
A short time after the foreman came
around and saw the boy playing marbles
at the door. Looking at the engine, he
soon saw the ingenuity of the boy and
also the advantages of so great an inven-
ton. Mr.. Watt then carried out the
boys inventive genius in a practical
form and made the steam engine per
feet automatic working machine.
The power loom is the invention of a
farm boy, who had never seen or heard
of such thing. He cut one out with his
knife, and after he had got it all done
he, with gre t enthusiasm, showed it to
his father, who at once kicked it to
pieces, saying he would have no boy
about him who would spend his time on
such foolish things
The boy was afterwards apprent1ced
to blacksmith, and he soon found that
his new master was kind and took
lively interest in him. He had made
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up, which he showed
TO his master. The blacksmith saw that
he had no common boy as an appren-
tice, and that the invention was very
valuable one He Immediately had a
loom constructed under the supervision
of the boy. 1t worked to their perfect
satisfaction, and the blacksmith fur.
nlshed the means to manufacture the
looms, the boy to receive one-half the
profits. In about year the blacksmith
wrote to the boys father that he should
visit him and bring with him a wealthy
gentleman who was the inventor of the
celebrated power loom. You may be
able to judge of the establishment at the
old home when his son was presented
as the inventor who told him that the
loom was the same as the model that he
(the father had kicked to pieces but
year before.

A Baby's Flower Trimmed Grave.

A few days ago the infant child of a
wealthy New York gentleman died and
the body was brought to Cedar Hill
Cemetry, Newburg, N. Y, for inter-
ment. The parents notified the super
intendent to make the funeral arrange
ments at any expense he chose to incur
The superintendent placed a tiagstone
on the bottom of the grave and built an
eight Inch brick wall all around the
sides and to height sufficient to cover
the coffin. Another flagstone was then
fitted to the top of the walls. Then the
grave was lined with white cloth, which
was neatly arranged in plaits.
Around the surface of the grave a
platform was built six inches high, and
this covered profusely with evergreens.
All of the soil taken from the pit was
likewise covered with evergreens and
hid from view. The white cloth was
festooned with smilax and daisies, and
profuse supply of roses and other
flowers were placed about the grave
and sprinkled among the evergreens.
When the friends had left the grave
the fiagstone cover to the tomb was
sealed perfectly watertight, thus shad
ing the case from the soil.

A Curious Boycott.

curious boycott is now IN progress
in Massachusetts village. The Post
master appointed by President Pierce
held the place through all the Repub-
lican administrations. But being fierce
Protestant he made himself obnoxious Of
late by distributing bitter i-Catholic
tracts through the medium of the post
office. The parish priest interested him
self in making a change recently, and a
young railroad man-also a Democrat
was appointed in his place, the Young
mans petition being signed by the
Democratic town committee, and lead
ing Democrats in surrounding towns
But the two manufacturing concerns and
the villagers generally did not sign 1t.
They got up a contemplation for a
young machinist, also Democrat The
young railroad mans petition arrived at
Washington first, and the office was
given to him. After much trouble he
succeeded in leasing n place for his Of
fee, but the paper mills and the leading
citizens put their mails on the railroad
trains. AS the pOstmaster's comDcnsa-
ton depends upon his sale of stamps,
the usual income of $500 per annum de-
creased to $500. He had to go back to
his railroading at night and his wife at
tended to the office while he slept in the
afternoon. He is a respectable and
obIiging young fellow, but he is being
deprived of his living simply because
the mills and the principal citizens were,
as they say, ''snubbed" in not being
asked to sign his petition. They were
not recognized, as the phase IS, and
the young postmaster is suffering for it.

A Way Out of the Difficulty.

ment for his patient.

he enviously eyed the chicken.

''First rate. Doctor, first rate"
''Let me feel your pulse?'

How to Make Boys Good Farmers.

From the first, boys on the farm
should be induced to take an interest in
the farm, in the stock, in the nipple
ments, and in all that pertains to the
business. Tell them all your plans.
your successes and failures: give them a
history of your life and what YOU did
and how you did when a boy; but do
not harp too much on the degenerate
character of the young men of the pres
ent age. Praise them when you can.
and encourage them to do better. Let
them dress up in the evening, instead of
sitting around in their dirty clothes, as
is too often the case. Set an EXAMPLE
before them of attending church on
Sunday, and such other times as arc
convenient, and take them out enough in
the world SO they will not be bashful,
awkward or Ignorant Of the ways of
genteel society. But do not encourage
strolling over the country, in company
with other boys, on Sunday, or allow
them to go where they please of nights.
They may think you little strict, but
in mature life will thank you. In order
to interest them on the farm, and make
their lives agreeable and pleasant, give
them piece of ground to cultivate as
their own, and allow them to have the
money for their productions. A bow
who is industrious because he is afraid
of being punished can't amount to much
as a farmer Such boy won't stay at
home any longer than he can help it.
When they secure money from any
source which is the fruit of their indus
try, help the boys to invest good share
of it in pig, COW, or colt, and allow it
to grow up on the farm as theirs. Show
them the folly of spending their money
foolishly for everything they see, but
encourage them to invest share of
their earnings in useful books and tools,
for their instruction and amusement
Provide warm and neatly furnished sit
ting and bed rooms, and brilliant lights.
Teach them industry, economy, moral
ity, and Christianity, and steady, tenn
perate habits. Indiana Farmer.

A Lobster Pound.

An enterprising firm which sells a
large number of Holsters in the Boston
market has entered upon a new scheme
for keeping up the supply and making
handsome profits. In the fall and latter
part of the summer good sized HOLSTERS
may be bought along the coast of Maine
and the provinces for three or four cents
each. When the Holsters are so cheap
they buy up all they can get and put
them in lobster pound that they have
at Vinal Haven, Me. This pound covers
about forty acres and is situated in a
cove. the entrance to which they have
wired across similar to fishing weir.
Here the Holsters are kept through the
winter, and they are fed on fish heads
and similar food, man taking several
barrels in boat and spreading it over
the surface of the whole pond. In that
manner they keep thousands of Holsters,
which when spring arrives can be sold in
this market for $40 hundred pounds,
and each one will weigh from two to
six pounds,

How to Plant a Tree.

The proper method Of planting a tree
has been so often described that it seems
like an idle tale to rehearse it again but
there are some it may benefit and it is
seasonable, so here is E. p. Roe's des-
cription or direction, as published in
this months issue of Harper's NOnthZv:
The hole destined to receive shade
or fruit tree should be at least three feet
in diameter and two feet deep. 1t then
should be partially filled with good sur
face soil, upon which the tree should
stand, SO that its roots could extend ma
turally according to their original
growth. Good fine loan should be sifted
through and over them, and they should
not be permitted to come in contact
with decaying matter of coarse, infer
mented manure. The tree should be set
as deeply in the soil as it stood when
taken up. As the earth is thrown gently
through and over the roots, it should be
packed lightly against them with the
foot, and water, should the season be
rather dry and warm, poured in from
time to time to settle the fine soil about
them. The surface should be levelled
with slight dip toward the tree, so that
spring and summer rains may be retain
ed directly about the roots. Then
mulch of coarse manure is helpful, for it
keeps the surface moist, and its richness
will reach the roots gradually in dilu-
ted form. A mulch of straw, leaves, or
coarse hay is better than none at all.
After being planted, three stout stakes
should be inserted firmly in the earth at
the three points of a TRIANGLE the tree
being its centre. Then by a rope of
straw or some soft material the tree
should be braced firmly between the pro
jecting stakes, and thus it is kept from
being whipped around by the wind.
Should periods of drought ensue during
the growing season, it would be well to
rake the mulch one side and saturate
the ground around the young tree with
an abundance of water, and the mulch
afterward spread as before. Such
watering is often essential, and it should
be thorough.

A Thief's FrighlfuI Leap.
FORMER SENATOR wADLEIGH CAPTURES
THE MAN WHO STOLE HIS JE ELRY.

The Hon. cambridge Wadleigh, for
mer United States Senator from New
Hampshire, went to his room, on the
fourth floor at a hotel in Boston, at
about z O'Clock in the evening, and
found there strange young man. The
two men were mutually very much i'm
pressed Mr.. Wadleigh asked the
stranger what he was doing there.
81 was just going out responded
the other. and he moved toward the
door rather nervously.
Don't go; take seat" said Mr..
Wadleigh, who weighs over 200 pounds,
and is quite an athlete
l-'sExeuse me, but I'm in hurry, and
the young man jumped for the door.
Mr.. Wadleigh opened his arms and
embraced him so heartily that the in
truGer was powerless. Mr.. Wadleigh
soon released his prisoner, with a more
emphatic invitation to ''sit down" The
stranger darted from Mr.. Wadleigh to
a window, and before he could be seized
he flung himself out. The distance to
the ground is about forty-five feet. The
man IN his fall struck the iron ratings
which are placed in front of the win
dows on each floor, and landed on a
small grass plot in front of the hotel.
Mr.. Wadleigh hurried down stairs,
and caught the fellow as he was pick
ing himself up. A policeman was sent
for, and the young man placed under
arrest. The wonderful part of the affair
is that not even a bruise was noticeable
as the result of the fall
The man was simply stunned for a
few moments, and he came around all
right at the station house A quantity
of jewelry and other valuables belong
ing to Mr.. Wadleigh was found upon
him. He gave the name of George
Williams, and is about 80 years old.

INDIAN JUGGLERS' TRICKS.
The Wonderful Skill of the Bengal Ma
tive.

Mr.. E. Stanley Robertson, lately o.
the Bengal civil service, in a recent ar.
tlcie gives an amusing account of some
of the tricks of an Indian juggler, He
says:
When he entered the room he spread
white cloth upon the floor and sat
down upon it, with his back to the wall,
the door of the room being on his right
hand. His spectators were disposed In
the following fashion: Mr.. Smyth sat
on a chair nearly i'll the middle of the
room, was sitting on sofa near the
door. the Parsee merchant stood in the
doorway about arms length from me.
The servants stood about in groups, the
largest group being between the door
and the conjurer. AS soon as he had
settled himself he turned to the Parsee
and asked for the loan of a rupee. The
peddler at first demurred little, but,
on being guaranteed against loss, he
produced the coin. He was going to
put it into the coniurer's hand, but the
latter refused, and told the Parsee to
hand it to Mr.. Smiths bearer. The
bearer took it, and, at the request of the
conjurer, looked at it and declared it to
be really rupee. The coniurer then
told him to hand it to his master Mr..
Smyth took it, and then followed this
dialogue:
Conjurer-Are you sure that is a
rupee?
Smyth-Yes.
Conjurer-Close your hand on it and
hold it tight. Now think of some coun-
try in Europe, but do not tell me your
thought.
Then the conjurer ran over the names
of several countries, such as France,
Germany, Russia, Turkey, and america
for the native of India is under the
impression that America is in Europe
After moments pause Mr.. Smyth said
he had thought of country.
"Then open your hand" said the
juggler, "see what you have got, and
tell me if it is coin of the country you
thought Of"
at was a five franc piece, and Mr..
Smyth had thought of France. IT. was
going to hand the coin to the con urer,
but the latter said:
mo, pass it to the other, sahib."
Mr.. Symth accordingly put the five
franc piece into my hand; l looked
closely at it, then shut my hnnd, and
thought of Russia When l opened it l
found not a Russian but Turkish sill
yer piece, about the size of the five-franc
piece, or of our own crown piece. This
/ handed to Mr.. Smyth, and suggested
that he should name America, which he
did, and found a Mexican dollar in his
hand. The coin, whatever it was, had
never been in the conjurer's hand from
The time the rupee was borrowed from
he Parsee merchant. Mr.. Smyth and his
bearer had both of them closely ex-
mined the rupee, and Mr.. Smyth and
urned over several time the five-franc
piece, the Turkish coin and the dollar;
10 the trick did not depend on re-
7ersible coin. Indeed, it could not, for
he coin underwent three changes, as
las been seen. need only add, for the
Information of those readers who know
lot India, that rupee is only about the
,ize of form, and therefore about half
he weight of a five-franc piece.

"NO Jurisdiction.

In the Green River country, KY, one
of the natives to the manner born was
chosen Justice of the Peace, and by his
oath he understood that in all cases of
disturbance and pugilistic attractions of
the law he was empowered to "com-
mand the peace" and he must be
obeyed.
At neighborhood log. rolling just
over his country line, where good old
Kentucky burbon flowed freely, two of
the party got into a fight, and the newly
made peace officer mounted q lOg-heap
and cried out at the top of his voice:
'Say, thar, you fellers, in the name
of the commonwealth of old Kaintuck I
command the peace!'
The fighters took rest, and then one
of them exclaimed:
Cant obey you, old boss, case you've
got no jurisdiction outen yer own
county," and the fight went on"
The Squire was puzzled, but offered
no further interference.
Soon after in his own county he was
called on to unite a couple in marriage,
which he did in true backwoods Ken
lucky style, closing by saying:
"And now, by the authority invested
in me, 1 pronounce you husband an
wife, rs long as you stay in the county
only, kase for why, my jurisdicshuhn
don't 90 across the line O. DER county"
