OBrien, while the young stranger
moved to the cave-doOr and stood with
ready pistol before it. We had not
moved more than fifty PAGES towards
the rear OF the cave before we saw a
CLEAN OF light, which frightened as
we advanced, until we reached what
was evidently a back entrance to the
robbers den.
We crept cautiously in and had not
gone far before the increasing glow
warned us we were coming to close
quarters. Silently we drew near
enough to cover our men; then the
stern command, Throw up your
handsH' rang through the cave.
The startled desperadoes sprang to
their feet, but with no thought OF sur
render. The muzzles OF six revolvers
flashed simultaneously, and the cave
echoed with shots fired at random,
but with deadly intent. Then we
fired, and three Of the marauders lay
stretched on the rocky floor. Through
the thick smoke we rushed in and
grappled with the others. Bewildered
by the unlooked-fOr attack, my antag-
onist and OBrien's made but little re-
sistance, and were soon disarmed and
pinioned. But the outlaw chief, the
notorious Grayson, was ~unluckily at

The sharp Game PractIced by a Small
Dealer In London.

Hatton Garden (the great diamond
district of London) had quite an I'm

dealers lost a great number of stones.

they sold the parcels they would find
that the weight had decreased and
that n or two OF the stones had van

never let the stuff go out of their sight
and who had no assistants. suffered as
well as the others, and for months it
remained a mystery OF the deepest,
kind. Every body was afraid of every
body else; some quit coming to the
diamond exchange, but whether they
came Or not their losses went on just
the same. At last almost by accident
the mystery was solved, and the solu-
ton was simple enough.
There was a small dealer who lived
in C~lerkedwell. He wore glasses and
protested to be very short-sighted.
This gentleman bought sparingly last
year, but he did a tremendous amoun,
of going around and examining. Az
employe Of a large Hatton Garden
firm became suspicious Of this small
dealer and had a talk with his en-
ployers. The next time the eve

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

Referring to thc keeping of sweet potatoes, am convinced after two years, that thc practice have adopted is reliable and as near perfect as any, considering its ease of adaptation and
 vecution never dig until frost bites nat 'nes, for to dig earlier will be to losL hq,t best growth in an average season. IT the land is wet enough to lcaye the tuM.3 stuck wilon>mud, | prefer waiting, even after frost, rntli, it is dricr. as from dry dirt they come On in a much more slightly condition.
 When digging commences drive four boards where you wish to winter them thc height you wish the bank, in such a way as to form a square funnel or huc Place around them bed of dry pine straw the diam eter of the proposed bank. Now place the potatoes around tho fuo as steep as they will pile When night comes on, cover them with a thickness of, say three inches of pine straw, and after the sun is up in the morning re- move the straw and sun again, and continue this for several consecutive days, when you may place the straw upon them and cover with dirt, leav- ing the top of the iluc always open; and if you will now place short course of boards or a broad piece Of plank on the top of the hole in such a C, off tbo ,ain nnI you may leave the balance to kind Providence, feeling assured that He will keep them for you until the fol- lowing April, when He will call upon you to take them out of their winter quarters and place them in cool place.
 The especial objects to De attained are: Usc pine straw to cover them with because they do not absorb damp ness So readily as other materials, and will not undergo heating or fcrmcnt- ing. They must De aired and stunned to evaporate the dampness and dissi- pate, as far as possible, all the foreign matters and gases deposited with them. The fue must always be kept open as a means of escape for impurities, gases and heat that continue to generate. especially at the bottom of the pile, thus tending to an even temperature within.
 l regard the potato crop as one of prime importance, not as money crop. The price they command will not jus tify the extra expense of digging and marketing; but for almost all meat hogs, the hogs themselves to perform the labor of roofing them up. it is best to plant in two plots of ground. in separate inclosures. After one patch has been exhausted the hogs may be turned upon the other, allowing the stock bunch to glean after them. l am satisfied that meat fattencd in this way. and with the feeding of a small amount of corn, is the cheapest l can raise The pasturage of corn and pea-feld and a good-sized potato patch is the best mast for hogs 1 know of. w II.

Saving Stable Manure.

It certainly pays 10 apply stable manure to cotton corn, peas, etc. The most economical method is to lit ter the stalls of tho animal with forest leaves, dry muck eff convenicnD or any convenient and cheap absorbent - say in January and February. The stalls should be loose boxes, 8XlO feet square, and the litter should be abun- dant, filling the stall while loosely put in several feet in depth. Once Q day throw tho dry material from the sides of the stall 50 as to give a dry bed for the mule to stand or lie on Add lit- ter at odd times during tho year, as it may appear 10 be needed, but do not disturb the bed other than as directed. At the end of twelve months. dig out the soddcn, black mass and compost with acid phosphate and potash salts. and cotton-seed or cotton-secd meal. Fill the stalls as before with litter. If desired, the stalls may Do cleaned out at the end of six months and tho ma nure composted immediately, but it is better to do this only in winter, and M few months in advance of planting the spring crops.
