More Crimes.

More has been learned of the colored
man, John Burton, by Justice Nc
Allister, since his arrest and accusa-
ton by his wife before him on at
tempting rape on his little 1G-year old
niece. Ms. Burton says they former
Iy lived in Seguin, and there they had
a child which they had raised + the
age of IS years. Suddenly Mrs. Bur
ton discovered that the girl was to be-
come mother. The girl accused
another man of encompassing her
ruin, but at the trial of the case, this
man proved that Burton was the
guilty n N.
From very shame, Mrs. Burton says,
she refused i pros cute him. This
second offence, however, she declares
has decided her aud sic will no longer
stand between him and the law.
Burton is a member of one Of the
colored churches, and is very piOus in
his behaviour, even rebuking Justice
McAllister yesterday when the judge
accidentally let bad word slip out.

he wrote to a friend ia New York,
said:
The girls OF Montcvidao arc the love-
lest ever saw. There is one part of
the house where they only allow ladies'.
That is the "Cazucla 1t is the circle
just below the gallery, or "Plraiso,
and one OF the male sex is not allowed
there, and laiics are not allowed to
wear bonnets il tho Cazuea The
1roat row is reserved, and We charge
Sc for these seats. Tho back rows are
Tor the admission tickts to the Cazuc!a,
and for these we get 81. So At about 5
O'clock The young ladies' commence
congrcgating at the door, and there
they stand until O'CLOCK and keep up
such CHATTER and row that
the police often compel III to open
The doors aud LET them in at 80. You
should soc the scramble! They arc
worse than men or boys. They take tho
seat, back Of the front row, and those
who arc lucky get seat, while III, un-
fortunate d ms:ls arc compelled 20
stand up. Til, place will hold about
500 women, and it is beautiful sight
to look up at them IN all tho co:ors of
the rain bow-beautiful bruncttes, all
bed, ckcd in diamonds. At the close of
the performance platoon of soldiers
so mcn-folms on each side of the door
at the exit to the streets and keeps the
crowd back. so that the young ladies
can depart in peace, and a' they go
they arc met Iy their brothers or

course, can only be made profitable,
where q siderable acreage is devoted
to this crop. Tho second kind il much
, cheaper and can DO used by the ma
iority OF farmers to good advantage
The potatoes are separated from the
soil so that the work of digging is en- :
tirely avoided, aud thoy can BIO pickle. d
up and assorted very rapidly.
A spading fork is tho next best i'm
plement to use. In majority of casos
tho pillow leaves too luany covered up
and to lose this small percentage of the
crop whom 1t can be avoided, isto say tho
least, poor economy Tho work of dig
sins is somewhat easier with good
spading fork. If you Rave not this,
use four-tined harvest fork. There
should be, if rightly han died, less cut,
or mi ured potatoes by using fork of
this kind than if a hoe W ere used.
Tho potatoes should loo assorted us
they arc picked up. A very good plan
is to have at least two buckets or bas-
kets. Select what is wanted for use in
ono and tho mcrchantablc ones in the
other. Those too small to use or sell
should always be left out, as it hardly
pays to keep the small! potatoes in with
tho larger ones aud sell all the good at
n less price in order to get rid of those
that are really unmarkctablc. Sorting
then, as they arc dug avoids unneccs-
sary handling, and thus decreases the
cost. They arc to DO thoroughly
dried before storing away, as
they will sometimes heat if stored with
out drying. Tho very best should al
ways be saved for seed, not always the
largest, but those of good size and
shape, and taken from Kills that yield a
good number of the kind They should
be harvested in good season. aud care
should be taken to store where they
arc certain to keep dry. and where
there Is no danger of their being in
iurcd by frost.--[Prairia Farmer.
