A host of sight-seekers gathered

A host of sight-seekers gathered
round the Boudin monument in Paris
yesterday morning. The first portion
of the procession presented all orderly
and dignified aspect, but the latter
part was disorganized, owing to the
pressure of the crowd following,
which consisted mainly of rabble and
which sang the Marseillaire and Car
magnole. A number of women joined
the ranks. In the evening the city re-
sumed its normal aspect.

Drainage for Fruit Trees.

] believe that nothing is SO injurious
as stagnant water TO fruit trees. l will
give case in point; Our fruit planta-
ton is on high ground, the land sloping
away from it on all sides. Drainage
was thought to be unnecessary, so that
the trees were planted on the undrained
land. The result was disastrous in va
rious parts of the plantation, for in
places the trees never made the least
start at either root or branch, good
many died, and those that lived be-
came mossy and looked in bad way.
On examining the parts on which this
occurred il was found that the water
could not pass away freely. Therefore
II was drained with very good results,
as the trees commenced to grow and
soon we're in good health, and the
branches became bright and free from
messy growth, and are now doing we'll.

GRANDFATHER.

Grandfather sits ut the open door,
And around his feet tho sunbeams play.
While his soft gray locks nro gently stirred
By the breath OF the mild September day.
His gaze he turned to the distant hills,
Where the trees arc yellow and green an
gold,
And they seem to say to the old mans heart:
Sec, life grows lovely while growing old"
Over the landscape far and nonr
Grandfather locks with quiet eyes,
Though on the meadow as on tho hills,
Tho shadow cast by the dead summer lies.
But over 1t all, with rcstfll calm,
There fingers dreamy, tender haze,
And the breeze is fragrant with stolen sweets--
Mementoes they of the summer days.
Grandfather thinks OF tho years gone by
The spring timo first OF his merry youth
Andthen the summer OF mnnhoOd's joys,
When his heart grew warm with love aud
truth.
"Ah we'll" he murmcrs, Though that is gone,
And winter comes for the year and me,
With sun in the sky, and sun in the heart
Why may not life stil beautiful bei
Grandfather lies on tho hillside brown
Lies at rest; nndthc setting sun
Kisses the spot where loving hands
Laid him down when his life was dono.
And over the meadow, and on the hills
The breezes rustic md the sunbeams play.
Though the summer fragrance has nearly fed
And winter is coming, cold and gray.
But still the charm OF his sunny life
Clings close to the lives he left behind'
And we seem to hear his tender voice,
And see the smile on his face SO kind.
And now he sleeps in his quiet grave,
The trees, so yellow and green and gold,
Keep guard above him and seem to say:
l. His life was Love, though his years were
old"

RaiIroading Years Ago.

When VIC picture the surroundings OF
the traveller upon railways during the
first ten or fifteen years of their exist
ence, we find his journey was not one
to be envied. He was jammed into a
narrow seat with n stiff back, the deck
of the car was low and flat, and ventila-
tion in winter impossible. The springs
of the car were hard, the jolting intol-
cradle, the windows ratified like those
OF the modern omnibus, and conversa-
tion was luxury that could be in
dulged in only by those of recognized
superiority in lung power. The brakes

spikes would not hold and the end Of

enough for the wheel TO run under it,

THE HOUSEWIVES EYE.
A Gem Whose Value is Not Appreciated
as Much rs 1t Should BE.

A Gem Whose Value is Not Appreciated
as Much rs 1t Should BE.
The utmost care on the part of the
housewife is the price paid for the
health of the family. We have all
heard the story of the father of the
German bride who gave his daughter a
golden casket, with the injunction not
TO pass it to any other hands, for it held
a charm which, in her keeping, would
be of inestimable value to her as the
mistress of house. Not only was she
to have the entire care of it, but sho
was to take it every morning to the cell
lar, the kitchen and the stable, and to
remain with it in each place for three
minutes. After the lapse of three years
the father was to send the key, that
the secret of the talisman might be
discovered. Directions were followed,
the key sent, and the casket opened,
when it was found to contain an old
parchment upon which was written:
THE eye of the mistress is worth
hundred pairs of servants hands"
The wise father knew that practice OF
inspection, followed faithfully for a
period of three years, with such results
as we may reasonably believed follow
ed, would be perpetuated-that the
casket and hidden charm would have
accomplished their mission.
Into the hands of every housewife is
committed n casket far more precious
than the result of any jewelers. skill.
Unseen thieves are continually lurking
about that threaten its safety, never SO
numerous rs in early winter. The
casket is the health of the family; the
danger that threaten it, disease. It's
preservation depends on watyhfulness
born of love- Christian Union.

Artist Stanclif and the Flagship Hart
 ford in Isepose.
 MT J. w. Stancliff, the artist, whose strong speciality is marines, has just com pleted a large and beautiful canvas, "Alone in Her Glory," showing the noble flagship Hartford immediately after the battle of Mobile Bay, in the deepest and most tri- umphant repose. The subject is worthy his brush and has been treated in an ex- cellent manner. It will probably be ex hibited soon and ought so1neway to be pre- served here The history of the canvass and it's points of execution may be cited thus
 This city sent a committee to Charles town navy yard with the "Arms of Hart ford" carved in Charter Oak, to be placed in the cabin of the Hartford, then being finished. This committee was presented with fine photograph of the ship. City Collector Brown afterwards came in pos session of the photograph and presented it to MT Stancliff, who afterwards made studies of the Hartford while she lay in New York harbor, and finally Captain Arthur T. Hinckley presented MT Stanclif with another photograph of the Hartford taken immediately after the passage of the forts Major Kinney of the Courant, who was signal officer stationed in the fore top of the flagship during the passage, ,etc, | also furnished the artist with picture of the confederate ram Tennessee seen at the left.
