Workingmen's Expedition to Paris.

The American workingmens delegates to the
Paris exposition, under the auspices of the
Scripps league, sailed from New York yester-
day for Europe. Altogether they are a fine
body of representative American workingmen

represent. The trip will last eight weeks, and
will be through England, Ireland, Scotland
Wales. Germany and France, with Paris and
the exposition as the objective point.

HOW IS THIS FOR A DEAL.
A st. Louis Man Says the Browns VIII
Be Located In Washington Next Year.

A Pittsburgh special to the New York World
says: Charles Janney, business man of ST.
Louis, who was in the city to-day, tells Of
deal in base ball that, if it proves to be
fact, will be one of the most sensational events
in the history Of the national game that
has taken place for many years. Mr.. Janney
states his information came from George Mum
son, secretary of the champion Browns. Mum
son, SO it is said, told the story in confidence to
of his friends and the latter let it leak out,
and in that way it got circulated about The
deal, as related by Janney, is, in brief, that
Won der Abe has been corresponding with
President Hewett Of the Washington club with
view of transferring the Browns to that city,
and the final arrangements were made q few
days ago. The Washington club has always
been tail-ender in the league. Notwithstand-

the club would be one OF the most prosperous in
the league. Several attempts have been made
to strengthen the Washingtons and this year
big money was spent to secure good players
among them being Morrill,, Wise, Irwin and
others; but it was all Of no avail. Il
is now assured that next season Washington
will be represented by team second to none
in the league. At the close of this season the
present st. Louis Club will be transferred bodily
to Washington; O'Day, Mack, Hoy, and Wilmot,

NOTES.

Col Urell was an unwilling captive aboard
the George Law yesterday, which pulled away
without any notice. The colonel couldn't bear
the thought of separation and jumped into a
passing boat and went back to duty.
Private Jim McElhone has been appointed
special mail detail for the cavalry, and his
soldierly appearance attracks many of the
pretty lassies who come down to see the camp.

SLIPS OF THE TONGUE.

A certain preacher, discoursing
upon Bunyan and his words, caused
litter among his hearers by ex-
claiming: "In these days my brethren
we want more Bunyans.
Still more curious was another
clerical slip. A gentleman said to
the minister: "When do you expect
to see Deacon S. again?" Never"
said the reverend gentleman, SOL

A lecturer said: II must beg you
to give me your undivided attention;
indeed, it is absolutely impossible
that you could form true idea of
the hideous animal, of which we are
about to speak, unless you keep your
eyes upon me.

Mr.. Bowser was jumping up and
down when there came another ring.
"Say, Bowser, my wife made a pre-

have got to go"
MIR. Bowser shut off with a bang and
started for the office. During the fore

and while he was at dinner there was a
ring and the old familiar hail:

"Glad of it."
"But it may be that my mother-in-
law will come on the 6.3o train. If she
does, we can't come"
Mr.. Bowser seemed dazed as he hung
up the trumpet and left the house. The
last blow came at seven in the evening.
The telephone rang and he crawled
over to answer.
"Where's the old man?"
s'I am Mr.. Bowser."
"Oh so you are. Your voice seems
very weak tonight. Say, old man, the
three couples of US IN this terrace were
coming down tonight, but we must
5isappoint you at this late moment.
We have had free tickets sent up for

Mr.. Bowser walked to the front door,
locked it, muffled the bell and turned
out the gas. Then he sat down and
was very quiet for couple of hours.
At last he looked up aud said:
"Mrs. Bowser, some husbands would

What is the date of the document?
July 10, 1874.
That is enough. Gentlemen of the
jury we close our case
The late Attorney General Brew
ster was counsel in a case which also
hung upon the authenticity of will.
He observed that on the impression
of the seal of the devisor, twice used
upon the document, was a mark as
light as a hair. He examined the
seal itself, and found no crack which
could produce this mark. He then
caused search to be made for en-
gravers of seals in Philadelphia, and
succeeded in finding the man who
had made that used in the fraudulent
will.
| recollect the job, said the engra
yer, for the seal was accidentally
cracked; but the man who ordered it
would not wait for another to be
made.
He had made the seal three weeks
after the death of the devisor. The
forgery was proved, and Mr.. Brew
ster won his case.

And echo caught lightly the sound as it fell
On the confines of earth twas permitted to rest,
And the depths OF the ocean its presence con

Twas seen in the lightning, and heard in the
thunder,
Twill be found in the spheres wien riven
assunder:
Twas given to man with his earliest breath,
Assists at his birth and attends him death,
PreSides DER his happiness, honor and health,
Is the prop OF his house, and the end of his
wealth:
1t begins every hope. every wish it must bound
And though unassumiug, with laonarchS is
crowned;
In the heaps OF the miSer 'tis boarded with care,
But is to be lost in his prodigal heir.
Without it the soldier and sailor may roam,
But woe to the wretch who eXpelS it from home.
In the whispers of conscience its voice will be

Nor e'er in the whirlwind of passion be found.

But in shade let it rest like delicate flower,

LOOSE FARMING.

1t is serious mistake for farmer to
undertake more than he can do we'll
and thoroughly. 1t is much better to
properly cultivate ten acres than it is to
half do twenty, and, generally speaking,
as much of a crop would be raised on
ten acres under such circumstances as
there would be on twice ten. There is
no industry where real thoroughness
gives more evidence OF advantage than
farming. The thrifty, tidy, handsome
farms we see have not been made such
by careless manipulations. The proper
preparation of ground TOR any crop is
half the battle, for no matter how prime
the seed, the soil must be congenial,
both in kind and preparation, to secure
the best paying results. Quality in
farming will give better harvests than
quantity. Every intelligent farmer must
realize the fact, and observation will
prove that it IS the small farms that are
the most profitable. Large farms rarely
have the number of men employed that
is necessary at certain seasons. Seed
ing time comes, and bad weather has
delayed the work, and the consequence
is it is rushed through, halt done. and
then the next job is performed in the
same way. Many farmer has had to
have work done over the second time,
and then the yield is not as much as if
it had been properly done in the first
place. a successfully farmer was re-
Gently asked what his system of farming
was, and replied: II try to make my
farm self supporting. l diversity my
crops, and purpose in the future to
plant less, manure more and work bet
ter. l keep as much of what l produce
on the farm as possible" In reply to
the question how farming could be
made to pay, his answer was: "By CIV
ing your farm as close attention as a
merchant or any other business man
gives to his business, by diversifying
your crops, raising on the farm every
thing you use as far as possible, by pay
ing cash for what you are compelled to
buy, thereby avoiding time prices"
This is the secret of successful farming
in nut shell.
