4 Tanned Wild Goose.

Some four years ago, at tina. season Of

of domestic geese about the premises. and

and its wings cut. II has remained with
the flock since, eating the same food they
eat. At the season wild geese migrate it

Australian travellers state that the in
terror of Australia is by no means the
desert it has long been supposed to be.
Though now appropriated, it is pro-
nounced to be capable of supporting a
large population. Gold has been found
there and the travellers brought home
stories of vast pasture lands, abundant
water and finally of deep blue lakes, at
least one of which is of large and as ye
unknown extent. A great railroad is to-
extend across the continent from north 70
south, through the eastern part of the
country once supposed to be a desert. 1t
is predicted that the desert" will disap-
pear, as that in America has gone.

Half century ago in Turkey it was
considered a disgrace for a woman to
know how to read. To-day the Sultan
himself has established two schools for
girls in Constantinople. Seventy years
ago Harriet Newton went to India to find
the women shut up in zenanas, ignorant
and degraded. From the very place
where she landed there went to the

Poor old Dhuleep Singh is evidently
hard up, says the New York Tribune.
He has written to Queen Victoria asking
her to give him the famous Koh-i-noor
diamond or its market value in ready
cash. He wants the money to use in
India against the peace and integrity
of the Empire, circumstance which,
coupled with the fact that the gem doesn't
belong to him any more than to a score
of other Silks, makes his request seem
uncommonly cool. The son of the Pun
jaub Lion is in pretty bad way.

THE FLOOD.

The rhythmic ring OF horses feet
Echoes along the city street,
And the idle crowd swarns out to SEQ
Who can the reckless rider be.
With bloodless face and blazing eyes
He dasheS on, and wildly cries:
ely, for the rivers wrath is nearl
Fly, for the Flood-the Floods herer'
He passes, and they stand amazed:
Then jest, and deem the rider crazed-.
Some misunderstanding addlepate-
Then turn and see, and hy-too late!
With a moan and groan,
With a shrek and roar,
Down on the town
The waters pour
A shivering crash,
And it is no morel
The torrent sweeps on its changeless path.
Grinding the puny walls like chaff,
In its awful play.
Like straws before the fresh'ning breeze,
Like sands beneath the beating seas,
They pass away.
The seething whirlpool boils and foams
Above thousand ruined homes,
And on its bosom sped,
All CHASTITY in the waning light,
Are borne into the coming night
An army of the dead.
Tears for the souls that passed away;
But charity for those
Whose all was lost that bitter day;
Whose call for pity goes
Up from hearts that are sad and sore,
And laden down with woes;
Tears for the lives that are no more,
But charity for those

Buried Treasure Unearthed.

The people at Friar's Point, Miss, are
much excited over the discovery of bid.
den treasure, and crowds were recently
out digging, as if the town was a gold
mine. One morning when the steamer
Belle Memphis arrived at the town, the
passengers saw fisherman and his two
little sons 'grubbing" in the loose loan
hundred yards below the wharf boat
Soon afterward the boys rushed up to-
their father at the landing, and showed
him several dingy pieces of metal that
they had found. The fisherman saw that
they were twenty-dollar gold pieces, and
ran to the place and began digging. The
passengers on the boat followed, and the
spot was soon alive with eager miners
Pocket knives, parasols, and fingers were
the tools used, and they yielded rich re-
turn. The fisherman got about $500. d
lady passenger secured $500, and othsn
got smaller sums, the whole amount az
gregating several thousand dollars. all I'd
twenty-dollar gold pieces bearing date Of
1859 and 1860.
The money was buried early duringtne
war by somebody unknown. Severn
years ago wealthy planter spent ab0~
$4,000 on excavations on Montezuma bsr'
some distance above Friar's Point, to hno
a treasure that was supposed to be buriea
there. He failed in his attempt, oU
managed to furnish another channel i~

Eddie : BREAK.

A Boston lady told her newly acquired
Irish maid, the other day, 10 say she WAS
not at home in case any one called. One
visitor did come, and she is responsible
for the story.
''Is Mrs. Blank in" she asked, when
the door was opened in response to her
ring.
"No, ma am, replied Bridget stonily.
"She's not at home; and may get for
giveness for the awful lie I'm telling We"
Whereupon she slammed the door in
the visitors face and that was the end of
it.-Picayune.

Making Dirt Maps.

The British in upper Burmah hau
found it necessary within the last TN
years to send several columns of troou
against the uncivilized inhabitants in tb
Burmese Shan States north and east
that country. These regions were almu
as little known as the lands within tn
Antarctic circle, and it was therefore
very difficult matter to move troops and
adequately arrange for their food suppHa
The officers in charge of these expedition
tried to get all the information they couR
of the country, of its mountains, riveu
fords, roads and agricultural resource
from the natives they met, but their sue
cess was very poor. They found that b
the time they had questioned the savage
a few minutes they were weary and ou
of temper and refused to answer qua
lions. Finally bright idea struck ON
of the Englishmen. He invented new
diversion for the natives and it worked
like charm. 81
Every day when camp was pitched
usually near some Shan caravansary,
space of ground was spaded up, and then
the people at the inn, traders and travel.
ers, were invited to make relief map u
the dirt of as much of the country
they knew. Captain Dun, of the British
army, says the natives readily caught the
idea, and it was amusing to see the child
ish delight they took in making dirt map
of the country. They piled up the
mountain ranges, excavated the valley
and rivers, stuck little sticks in the ground
for forests, and indicated the regions that
were well cultivated. Of course such q
map would be almost valueless unless il
were made with some regard to prope
proportions. So they used sticks about
a foot long to represent days march,
and on this scale they rudely fashioned
their maps. Sometimes two or thra
hours were spent in making the map, and
now and then rival photographers would
each appropriate a piece of ground and
display his talents as map-maker.
The information thus obtained was
very useful. The British officers were
nearly every day engaged in drawing charts
based upon the dirt maps in relief, and
it was not often found that the native
information was so far out of the way
to be valueless. 1t would be interesting
to see whether this plan would work in
Africa among the natives of whose geo
graphical inaccuracies the explorers are
constantly complaining. Stanley is the
latest aggrieved explorer, the NATIVES
having told him on his recent march to
Albert Uyanza of a great lake which he
fondly hoped to reach until he became
convinced that it was wholly mythical.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-03-12

Mr.. EDITOR of the many inter
esting articles in The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER of the 10Th instant-which,
by the way, is the best number | have
ever read-there are three to which |
wish to call the special attention of
all casual readers, viz: Diamond, "
"Fogy" and J. B. Smiths. Dia-
mond's would be a gem of the first
water, but for the "sand," which
many think ought to have been left
om The deep "growl" of "Fogy )"
is the sort of music to which we farm
ers ought to ance. 1t is the right
letter in the right place; but as to his
''wire grass" would like to know
whether it is not about as hard to
keep inside the pasture as the fat
cattle and sheep" that luxuriate upon
its juicy joints ? as "a slight expe-
rience convinces me that when 1t
breaks out and anchors in fellows
" crap" " All the Kings horses can't
pull it up" I quite agree with him
that "crab grass for hay is the best.
l have never had enough of tex
cept at hoeing time.
Brother B. Smiths letter very
naturally leads one to conclude that
he drilled in the wars, where to "hep,"
halt" fright Dress" &C., was the
''order of the day." and whilst many
will agree with him in the main, they
will doubtless think all the same that
a little independent "skrimage" now
and then would greatly enliven the
troops. Does he not well remember
how the battle of "First Manassas"
encouraged the victorious "Old Rebs"
who had not been thoroughly organ
lied? I, too, participated in the "late un-
pleasantness" and can testify that some
of the best fighting ever witnessed
was by gray-headed '"Tar Heel" con-
scripts, who joined us on march to
the battlefield. | believe, with "Fogy,"
that County, State and National
Alliances are and can only be what
the b-Alliances make them" Bro.
S. evidently thinks the Sub Alliance
that ''resolved to use no guano put up
In other than cotton sacks" was most
too previous, inasmuch as no such
order had been sent down from head
quarters. If necessary "for the good
of the order," I could refer him to a
Sub Alliance that, for its own conven-
ince and benefit, set on foot an enter
prise which has naturally benefited
many Alliances in three counties.
"Tall oaks from little acorns grow"
therefore let us ''despise not the day
of small things" The Sub-Alliance
that a0oits for the thorough organiza-
tion and cooperation of the several
branches of the industrial Army"
will be left IN the Zswch.
Fraternally,
