glad to withdraw if Tammany hall viii
consent to let the citizens committee

opposed the Importation of foreign labor

people or for the citizenship which our
laws confer" and to the allegation of his
being a Know Nothing Mr.. Hewitt says in
conclusion: II have not and never had any

than Theodore Parker; yet even he
seems TO have been prophet with
out honor" in the village where he grew
up.
A pilgrim to the town of Lexington,
Mass, asked Il man who was mending
the road where Theodore Parker was
born.
The man leaned on his spade, stared
at the stranger and replied:
Dunno"
Are YOU II newcomer hcrc?'
.'No, sir; lived here, man and boy,
nigh on to forty year"
..Arc there no Parkcrs about here?n
"Yes, there's tcw lots of 'em."
'I wish to find the old Parker place" +"
said the traveller.
"Oldcr'n creation, both of 'em, was
the reply.

''They run to cappens," was the ex-
asperating reply; "but | guess you'd
better take that ar road to the left,

Garden and Forest says that the pre-
ccpts which should be often repeated
TO farmers are not that trees are sacred
objects, which can not be cut without
offensc to man and nature. The les
sons they must learn, if they hope to
compete with farmers trained under
more enlightened systems of agricul-
ture, are that sterile, rocky, hilly ground
can not long be titled profitable; and
that such land can wisely be used to
produce trees; that the pasturage of
domestic animals in the woods, or on
land suitable only for the growth of
trees, is an expensive and wastful
system, as unsatisfactory from a pas
toral point of view rs it is fatal 10 the
forest; that trees are just as much out
of place in the strong level lands suit
able to permanent tillage rs cattle are
out of place in the woods. Aud they
must learn, too, that woodlands can
be mauc profitable only when the same
care is given to trees. with reference to
soil and climate, as it is bestowed upon
the selection Of grain and other crops,
and that the rules which nature has
established for the pcrpetuation of
forests must be studied and obcyed.

Very early in his career, in "Oliver
Twist" Charles Dicken drew Il terrible
life-like picture of the dirt, the squalor.
the fetid atmosphere, and the rutiianly
surroundings of the police office. then
the scandal of Hatton garden, and, not
long before his death, the great novei-
ist made incidental mention of a
''villianous police court as place yet
actually existing. 1t did exist, says
the London Daily Telegraph. During
the five-and-thirty years over which the
literary activity of Dickens extended,
the old police court in Bow street.-the
chief one, it must be remembered, in
the metropolis-had undergone little,
il any, stuctural reform. 1t was to
most intents and purposes as "villain-
ous'' as it had been in the days of Sir.
John Fielding and Sir Richard Birnic,
although, dirty, noisome, and uncom-
Portable rs it continued to be. it was
considered vast improvement on the
police tribunals of the the past. In the
days when Harry Fielding was n
stipendiary magistrate he sorrowfully
confessed that his stipend was made
up of 1.-THE dirtiest money in the world. :"
The ordinary London police court was
the upper room of tavern, and
ut the conclusion of the case, while his
worship the justice and the clerk were
regailing themselves with a bowl of
punch in the parlor, the defendant,
who was able To find bail, his attorney,
and the parish constable, were getting
tipsy in the tap-room. As for the
prisoners unprovided with bail, they
were comfortably handcuiicd and flung
into the cellar or the coal hole until
such time rs it suited the convenience
of the constable to drag them off to
Jail. A new, spacious, and handsome
pile of buildings has arisen in lieu of
the ''villainous police court" on the
other side of the way in Bow street,
and in the outskirts of the metropolis
more than one commodious police
Office has been erected. Many of the
remaining ones. however, need re-
forming altogether by the stringent
process of being pulled down and built
up again in something like consonance
with modern ideas Of the dignity of
justice and the claims of those who

The Cultivation of Wheat.

have raised thirty-iive bushels of
winter wheat to the acre by the follow
ing culture, SAYS Col. Curtis in the
RuraL Neto Yorker. The previous crops
had been corn and oats. This is the
usual rotation in this section of the
state. Sod ground is plowed for the
corn, and the land is manured with
barn-manure either plowed under or
put on the autumn before. The last
is the best way. If farmer has barn
manure it is put on the surface and
narrowed in with the wheat, and if he
has none, commercial fertilizers are
used. No one thinks of getting good
crop of wheat without some extra fer
tlizer. In my own case heavy coat
of barn manure, made during the sum-
mer, was put on and well narrowed in.
The wheat was sown broadcast, and
rs the land was clay-loam it was not
rolled, rs it was not necessary for Sc
curing the needed compactness of
soil. IL the land is mellow and light
it is always best to roll il, rs wheat
will do better in 4 firm and compact
soil. The roots take stronger hold,
and the plants will not rise up so read
lily when pricd by the frost. In the
spring, if the ground is baked. crusty,
and hard, it should be gone over with
n square-toot- d harrow.
In ny crop no extra work was done.

The Lesson OF the Fly.

Let us walk together, dear reader,
and learn that in strolling through this
beautiful world with open eyes we
shall see many things that we should
not were they closed.
Let us bring intelligent methods of
observation to bear on the fly. Not
the elusive fly which the baseball play
er vainly essays to keep from gliding
through his fabricated fingers, nor yet
the fly district telegraph boy, whom
no one has ever seen fly.
The fly we mean is just the simple
American house fly, says Life, Not so
simple, dear reader; no, not so simple
as he looks, and the human race has
never been able to bunco him into the
belief that vinegar was molasses.
Nathless, he is simple in his tastes. A
little thing like bald head furnishes
him more amusement than whole
Wagner opera.
His sense of humor is well developed
and his sides fairly shake with laugh
ter rs he glides away into space and
looks back Mt YOU with two or three of
his thousand eyes, while you vainly
slap the place where he was--but isn't.
Solomon said, "Go to the ant, thou
sluggard." The ily is way ahead Of
the ant as a missionary. He does not
wait for the sluggard to come to him.
but gets up early in the morning and
goes to work and finds the sluggard
in bed. No matter how much trouble
the sluggard may have taken the night
before to keep him out, the fly is on
hand, singing his morning hymn of
praise and prospecting around to find
out just what kind of sluggard he has
tackled this time. This search for in
formation involves walking around on
exposed portions of the sluggard's
cuticlc and frequent pauses for con-
sideration. Then the sluggard wakes
up, aims carefully, and strikes des-
pcrate blow. only to bruisc his own
nose or ear, rs the case may be, while
the happy ily-happy in the conscious
ness of duty donc-ilits on, to return
and renew his labors. Then the slug
gard gets up, and all that day, if he
needed fly to bait n flsh-hook. he
couldn't find one within n mile. How
beautiful are thy ways, O naturep
How he rebelled ut being aroused
from slumber ut unseemly hours! Not
SO the fly. Come with me, dear read
er, into the dark room and light the
gas. Do you see the flies calmly sleep
ing on the ceiling? Note how gladly
and cheerfully they awaken and join in
our little repast. See the alacrity with
which they come down, promenade in
our butter or bathe in our milk. Mark,
too, how willing the humble fly lays
down even his life in the great cause
of huckleberry pie. Thus reader mine,
by closer observation we learn that in
natures grand plan even the most in
significant of things-even 4 hy-has
its work TO do and its place to ill.

The Baby and the Soldiers.

Rough and ready the troopers ride,
Great bearded men. with swords by side;
They have ridden long they have ridden hard,
They are trayel-stained and battlc-scarred:
The hard ground shakes with their martial
tramp
And coarse is the laugh of the men In camp.
They reach the spot where the mother stands,
With baby clapping it's little hands,
Laughing aloud at the gallant sight
OF the mounted soldiers fresh from the fight,
The captain laughs out: III give you this,
handful OF gold, your baby TO kiss"
Smiles tho mother: "a kiss can't bc sold.
But gladly he'll kiss a soldier bold"
He lifts up the babe with manly grace
And covers with kisscs its smiling face,
Its rosy checks and its dmplcd charms.
And it crows with delight in the soldiers 8
arms.

Just such kiss" cries one trooper grim,

And their eyes were moist as the kiss they

Successful Amateur Faith-Curing.

A Post reporter Yesterday afternoon
tried his hand at faith-curing. He was
standing on the front platform of an
avenue ear when the drivers nose be-
gan to bleed After several Intellectual
attempts had been made to stop the
bleeding the reporter, who learned the
driverwould be seriously Inconvenience
ed, To say the least, thought he would
try an experiment. Taking u piece OF
paper from his pocket he handed it to
the sufferer, with the remark: Put
that IN your mouth, between the tongue
and the inside of the lower gum. It's
the greatest remedy ever known for
nosc-bleeding. We used it in our fami-
~ for seven generations, and it never
failed to cure" The driver did as he
was bid, and inside of IA minute the
bleeding stopped. What effected tho
cure? Was it the efficacy of the paper
o" the faith the driver had in its RENE
dial powers?- Washington Post.

After the wheat had been harvested
ihc land was plowed, manured, and
sown with fat turnips. The weather
being very dry, the turnips did not
come up soon enough to make good
crop. Enough wheat came up To make
it an object to let it grow, and in this
way good crop was obtained of
volunteer wheat. The best way to
prepare the ground for u good crop of
wheat is TO make it rich. Barn-manure
is the best. The so-callcd "phosphatcs"
will DO, in the absence of the other;
but the whcat-growcr on old lands
much enrich all the soil if he wants to
get n good crop. A clover sod, or
land in high state of cultivation, will
usually bring good wheat; but even on
such land the chances will be bcimproved
by using several hundred pounds of a
commercial fertilizer per acre. Any
old sod land may bc fitted for wheat
by blowing in July and several harrow
ings. This is shorter cut than the
old method of summer-fallowing, in
which our fathers had so much faith
and by which they grew good crops of
wheat.

Leopold Bloom, the daring specula-
tor of the Board of Trade, is perhaps
the wealthiest young man on Change.
He was born in Clinton, La, May 90,
1853. When he was 20 years old he
was the proud possessor of 5000 in cur
rency. He was down town one bright
afternoon, and while in the old Board
of Trade Alley he bought call on 10O,-
600 bushels of corn. He went home,
had good nights rest, and when he
awoke next morning and went down
town he found himself just $4,000
better off than when he had retired tho
night before, hostilities having been
decided on and corn taking big
jump.
That 5000 made him IN even $50, 900
in six days. He took his profits and
made some investments in real estate,
which proved even more profitable
than his corn deal, for Chicago proper
ty was then n drug Oh the market. and
Bloom was just sharp enough to an
ticipate the city's rapid growth. From
that time on Bloom became n noted
plunger on the Board-not always, of
course, making money, but never al
lowing himself to make great losses.
To show how much of y plunger he is,
it may be cited that ut one time last
winter Bloom carried l,500, 900 bushels
of corn, $4,000 ticrces OF lard, and 4O,-
600 barrels of pork, the whole netting
him a clear profit of over $14O,OO0
when he finally sold. Leopold Bloom
is worth in tangible property and real
estate over $S5O000. Chicago Herald.

The Value of Wheat Straw.

After the wheat has been thrashed,
SAYS the Philadelphta Record, .hc straw
is stacked in the barnyard and the
stock turned IN to eat portion while
trampling large proportion in the
mud. The hay is carefully stored in
the barn-loft. while the cornstalks re-
main in the shocks and are left in the
fields to topplc over and become vast
ed. Every pound Of hay saved is n
pound gained, aud with more care of
the straw and stalks the hay will win
ter large number of fcattle. The straw
is considered of but little value, yet
the farm can he impoverished by SELL
ing off the straw. Of inorganic mat
ter one thousand pounds of wheat con-
tain less than IL pound of lime, but
little over two pounds of potash, and
not rs much as pound of phosphoric
acid, though containing largely of
starch and nitrogen. The straw con-
tains in its composition nearly three
times rs much lime rs the grain, and
three times as much phosphoric acid.
These proportions are seemingly small,
but they amount TO large quantity
where hundreds of tons of straw is
grown. Over fifty pounds of ash exist
in one thousand pounds of straw,
which is more than double the amount
of ash in grain, and in feeding value
the wheat straw is we'll worth being
