From the II. Louis Globe Democrat.
Speaking Of the sometimes queer YER

was engaged i'm once at Louisiana, Mo.
Two men, employer and employee, had
quarreled about q matter OF wages.
shortly after and while the employer was
engaged i'm conversation with two gentle
men, the employe stole up behind the en-
ployer and plunged q knife into his neck,
almost cutting IL half In two. 1t was q
marvel how the man survived the ugly
thrust. He would not have done 50, per
haps, but for the fact that one of the men
with whom he was conversing was q ply
stefan. The physician at once took In
unfortunate man in charge, stopped the

daced.
Six months later he wa entirely recov-
cred, and the trial Of his assailant began.
All the material facts were proved com
clusively. There did not seem to he any
palliatinR circumstances whatever. The
jury retired, and shortly returned with a
verdict authorizing n fine Of 500. Curious
to know by h process of reasoning

REMARKABLE WILL POWER.

Instances to Show the Hold Some Have on
Life.
From the Boston Gazette.
Three stories were told over after-din-
ner cigars the other day, showing the
power of mans will. One was O young
officer in the English army, who was PEE
culiarly stubborn and irnscible. He had
been confined to his bed after a severe at
tack of the heart and was unable to move.
His physician asked one Of his fellow-offi-
GERS to warn him that he would never get
out of he'd again, that he might arrange
his affairs before death. When the sick
man was told what the doctor had said he
arose i'm bed and excitedly said:
II will never get mp again, eh? i will
walk tn the doctor again and show him."
He jumped to the floor, walked across
the room and fell dead.
The other was about "a sheriff out who,
when nrrestinR u man,, was stabbed
through the heart. He seized the man by
the shoulder, after the blade had struck
revolver, and, deliberately thrusting IL
down the struggling prisoners throat,
pulled the trigger, the instant he himself
died.
The third story was regarding another
officer who was hunting down "a thief. The
man Thought he had given his p,Irstier the
slip, but just as he entered one door of u
railroad ear the officer appeared i'm the
other. The thief Instantly fired, the bull
let penetrating his purssicr's brain. The
officer. however, returned the shot, bring
ing his man To the ground. He then
ragged himself along the side Of the car
firing as he crawled, until his revolver
picked mp IL second after he ceased Ia
shoot.

The following from the Spirit IF the
Times speaks for itself: II In the fashion
with many turf writers tn magnify tine
popularity of tine running turf and depre-
ciate the attractive power of trotting con-
tests. The subject In never treated ex-
haustively, no array of facts and arg,l-
case, hut the simple statement IL made,
as II IL needed no demonstration. We
venture To say that trotting sport was never
81 popular AS IL In to-day,
ger than ever, and that all the
great interests which center i'm this trot-
ting track are I'm "a thoroughly healthy
and prosperous condition. Never since
business has good stock sold 80 readily
or commanded such high prices. Stam-
sS.ooo arc not fancy prices paid nv
wealthy men to crafty u passion For their
possession. These prices were paid by
ness principles, feeling assured. that

TONED are exceptional cases, for severa!
i'm the market, would approximate to these
figures. The verdict of the trotting horse
breeders during the spring purchasing
buyers than there was good stock to sell.
Leaving the breeding farm we come tn
the trottinR track, and n glance at the
purses offered and the meetings held will
conclusively prove that track managers
have confidence in the popularity and pros
perity of the sport. The programmes OF
the present season, as u rule, are distin-
guished for larger purses and more OF
them.
An examination Of the files Of this pa
per elicits the following facts: On May
IL the meetings advertised I'm that number
had q purse aggregate OF x191,25O; June
IL, the sum total was $115,O50 July II, the

princely sum of $sS3, ABS, and September

0OO,OOO and II all the statistics are care
fully gathered mt the end of the season, IL
IL safe To say that this sum will he enor-
mously augmented. II IL quite clear from
these statistics that the associations have
q well grounded faith i'm the popularity OF
the trotter.
The Spirit If the Times continue: The
final question In that OF attendance.
Cleveland and Buffalo drew large and ap-
preciative crowds, and Il has been the
same all along the line. In the west the
Illinois valley, Northwestern and other
circuits were strongly supported by the
public. The eastern meetings have fully

Vertigo Caused by Nicotine.

NJ. Decaisne has laid before the French Academy of Medicine the re- suits of various investigations relating to the vertigo peculiar to smokers. From this it appears that the numer- ous experiments made in this line have proved that nicotine contracts tho muscular coat of the vessels, and that vertigo is due to the exaggerated con- traction of tho arteries of the brain the patient experiences a fcel,pg of emptiness in the head, so much so that he seems as if about to faint, every thing turning around and his ideas be- coming confused. M. Decaisne has further ascertainod that these phe- nomena are chiefly found in smokers above fifty years of age, and especial ly in those habitually accustomed to smoking before meals; he has also known several of theso persons to be treated for cerebral congestion, and even for disease of the heart, with the result, as might be supposed, of in- crossing the symptoms, the proper treatment consisting in absolute ab- stcntion from the weed, and some slight laxative with bitters.

The Economy of Ensilage.

There is no question that twice as many cattle can be fed by means of onsilage as by any other manner of feeding. A silo need not be n costly
 affair; simple one is made as follows: A foundation is made Of siIls with two cross sills bcddod in a cement floor; , by 10 studs are morticcd in the sills, l6 inches apart from ccntcrs. The in- side is boarded mp with common boards, laid horizontally and l2 inches wide. The boards are covered with starred roofing paper, and second layer of boards is put on, breaking joints half way. This makes an air tight wall If the silo is more than l2 feet wide or long partition should be put across to resist the pressure The plates should be held with ties of three by eight timher spiked with So-pcnny nails through into the studs, a good roof should he put on and an upper story large enough for cutting ma chine should he made. with a hali floor. The outside is then clapboard- ed. A silo F feet square and l5 feet deep will hold 10 tons IN. ]. Times

DURABILITY OF CYPRESS.
A Statue Made of IT Which Lasted SiN
 Hundred Years.


 For many uses cypress is better than white pine The ancients recognized its value, and Pliny tells us that a statue of Jupiter carved out of 1t, existed six hundred years without showing signs of decay. The doors of ancient St. Peters at Rome were made of this wood and when moved were about eleven hundred years old, but, nevertheless, were in state of per feet preservation Houses at New Orleans and England built entirely of it nearly a century ago arc still standing and in good repair, and for shingles in any climat" it is the superior of white pine, and when better known will be more extensively used throughout the North.
 Cypress grows in groups, called brakes. In the swamps and bayous of most of our southern States, and un- der favorable conditions attaius enOr- nous size The trunk is straight and without limbs often to the height or one hundred feet or more. Authori- ties disagree as to the varieties, some claiming that there are three kinds - red white and yellow, the latter being considered the best; but it is equally asserted tlxit the difference in color Is owing merely to the soil and condi- tions under which it grows. -Quiycr.
