There are many plans for preserving
fence posts. Perhaps the following is
as good as any and it has the merit Of
being within the reach of all at very
small expense. Let the posts get thor
oughly dry, and then, with pan of
cheap kerosene and whitewash brush,
give the lower third of the post, the part
to go into the ground, two or three good
applications of the oil, letting it soak in
well each time Posts so treated will
not be troubled by worms or insects of
any kind, but will resist decay to re.
markable degree.
The Increased Use of Digging Harrows.
There is belief among some formers
that the increased use of the new tiiggers
and cutting hairows is to be condemned
because such tools lessen the use of the
plow and lead TO shallow tiliage Rural
New Yorker, with view to deciding
the true use of digging harrows, invited
correspondence on the subject from lead
ing agriculturists. The replies elected
made apparent the fact that the charac-
ter of the soil, the season and the crop it
self all have something to do with deter
mining the depth to which the soil should
be stirred. Professor Cook favored the
plan of blowing in the fall and harrow
ing in the spring T. Fl. Hoskins, of
Vermont, does not want deep blowing
and has used the cutting harrow with
great satisfactiJrl- H. H. Wing. of
Ithica, believes that the deep working
harrows may be used in place of the
plow in preparing stubble ground ON
light friable soils for oats and barley E
Davenport, of Michigan, regards these
cutting harrows as a great advance on
other devices for firming the bottom of
the seed bed and for fitting soil for corn.
The journal quoted from says: s.It is
| quite evident that under certain condi-
tons the digging harrows may be used
to save great deal of work

The Terrible Tcherkesses.

The Tcherkesses = the term now
most used in Europe to designate the
different Caucasian tribes-are a wild,
bellicose, and rapacious nation. The
Tcherkess is a warrior in his very
soul, sly, cruel. and blood-thirsty. The
sufferings of an enemy awaken in him
only a sensual smile of enjoyment. He
tortures his prisoner, kills him, and
mutilates him terribly. How many
loved comrades have found with their
arms twisted out of joint, and other
parts of their bodies cut off and stuck
in their mouths! The Tcherkess is
not fanatic, but he is a great fatalist;
and now he is in the Russian service
he attacks with the same ruthless
ardor and blood thirstiness the Mussul-
man with whom thirty years ago he
used to fight side by side against the
Russians. He always seeks 10 attack
his enemy on the sly, but when he
does not succeed in surprising him, he
dashes upon him and displays pro-
digious courage.
Il European warfare the Tcherkess-
es are very useful on outpost duty and
as skirmishers. Even in open battle
they can make very successful charges.
In the last Turkish campaign it hap
pened once that trench occupied by
the Turks was attacked by battalion
of infantry, but the deadly fire pre-
venting them from reaching the in
trenchments, order was given to the
Jaugouche militia to mount to the at
tack, and they simply dashed upon the
enemy like a hurricane, leaped over
the defences, and massacred the Turks
inside.-A Russian General, in Har-
per's Magazine.

The Hardest Worker in Jamaica.

Everywhere, where the water is
quiet in bays and harbors, one sees
the mangrove at it's silent, ceaseless
work. The parent trunk, growing
from a little pink stem, shoots up into
a low shrub with wide-spreading
branches, clothed perpetually with
glossy green leaves. From these
branches long slender roots drop into
the water beneath, where, in the mud
dy soil at the bottom, they themselves
take root and in turn become trunks
and trees. And everywhere under the
snake-like network of roots which rise
out of the muddy soil, and in the
tangle of branches above, life is pulls
ing and rustling. Innumerable crabs,
with long red legs and black bodies
peppered with white spots, scurry and
crawl in and out upon the rank mud
beneath the arching roots, and droll
hermit-crabs draw themselves with a
click into their borrowed houses
strengthening shells with long spi mes,
curious spirals. notified with blue and
gray and yellow. -Harpers Maya

Stories for LaMYers

Occasionally lawyers get together
and swap stories about the funny
things they have heard in and around
the Court House. A ..Republic'' re-
porter was in earshot of several en-
lnent barristers, and heard two anec-
dotes related that are worth repeating

bench he one day made ruling
against young attorney, whose super

Much disguised, the lawyer said:

goes to find such law as that"

speaks with a strong Bohemian accent
and he replied in very emphatic Ian
guage:
81 am not surprised, Mr.. -, "a

Gigantic Railroad Scheme.

A project of railway development is
maturing which is calculated to take
the breath away by its very magnifi-
cence. Up to the present the world
has only heard of fragments of this
scheme. / am privileged to describe
it as whole, says a London CORE
spondent. 1t presupposes, to begin
with, the completion of the Channel
Tunnel between England and France,
and the construction of a tunnel be-
meath the ten or eleven miles of sea
which divide Scotland and Ireland at
the Null of Cantire and Fair Head,
County Antrim. These works would,
- Sir Edwards scheme, be utilized
running of fast through trains
gsm the port of Londonderry to
Gibraltar. At Gibraltar the trains
would be carried across the Straits by
swift and powerful ferry steamers,
and transferred bodily, at Ceuta or
Tangier, to a railway running along
the northern coast of Africa, via
Egypt, crossing the Suez Canal and
bordering the Persian Gulf to Kurra-
chez, where it would connect with the
existing system of Indian railways.
BY this means, Sir Edward calculates,
Ireland would be placed within twelve
days journey of India, while New
York, with the aid of fleet of rapid
Atlantic steamers landing their pas
sengers at Derry, would be placed
within seventeen days journey of that
country.

Helping the Donkey.

The late Emperor Frederick, when
he was Crown Prince, while walking
in the woods near the palace at Potts
dam one morning perceived an old
milk woman who was pounding the ass
attached to her milk wagon and talk
ing in an excited tone to the balky
animal.
What's the matter, my good
woman?" asked the Prince.
II am in a great hurry to serve my
customers with milk" replied the old
woman, who did not know the Prince,
land this accursed brute refuses to
bulge; but if you would be kind
enough to pull him by the ears while
| warm him up behind with this club
he will go right along"
The good-natured Prince seized the
animal by the ears and tugged away,
while the old woman mauled the brute
with her cudgel. Sure enough. the
donkey trotted on, much to the Joy OF
the woman.
When the Prince told his mother
about it she rebuked him for being so
familiar with the lower orders, where
upon the Prince laughingly replied:
My father has helped many IA donkey

Rigid Economy.

There is good story told of the
economical qualities OF two well-known
and wealthy gentlemen living in the
east part of town, says the st. Joseph
(Mo.) Herald, that is good lesson for
those recklessly extravagant persons
who are not possessed of the true
spirit of economy. On certain night
one of these gentlemen called on the
other to transact little business at
the formers residence. The host
lighted a candle that they might exam

CURED BY THREAD.
Singular Neuralgia Remedy c
Southern Chief of Police

Singular Neuralgia Remedy of a
Southern Chief of Police.
If there is any one in Macon who
had little faith in hoodoos and charms
a few weeks ago, that person was
Chief Kenan, says the Telegraph. But
at last all unbelievers are brought
around, and it appears this was the
case with the doughty chief Some
days ago he was suffering considerably
with neuralgia. After trying every
remedy under the sun he at last came
upon a friend who had a recipe, which
he was not not caring particularly to
reveal to the chief, but seeing the
official in deep trouble, he 'fnally con-
sented to apply the remedy. Securing
spool of black silk thread, he cut off
several bits. One he tied around the
neck of the chief, another around his
waist, another down the back connect
ing the one from the neck with that
around the waist, and fourth down
his breast, connecting in the same way
the two bands. This completed the
outfit.
When the operation was finished the
chief, with an incredulous smile, asked
what came next. ''Oh, you will talk
differently in a few minutes, u replied
the friend, with shake of the head
In a minute the official felt strange
sensation in the face, and within five
minutes the pain had left him. To say
that he was amazed would be putting
it mildly. He has already given the
cure to dozen sufferers and now he
is at work solving thy Problem of how
he was cured. t.AsyeSSs'ss.s eoItr+ss4o

Too Much Salt in His Beef.

The last John-Codman-cry is because
a Norwegian bark has had to sail in
ballast from Buenos Ayres to New
York. He writes to the New York
Times that ''there is plenty of wool
ready for shipment at Buenos Ayres,
but it goes to England because our
protective tariff does not admit of its
importation here" If -. c." will in
quire of our farmers, he will learn
that foreign wool is imported largely,
Notwithstanding the tariff, and that his
beloved Norwegian bark might have
brought load of hides on which there
is no duty. That 81. c." should cry
because a foreign ship has sometimes
to come in ballast is to be expected.
He thinks it is the duty of the United
States to provide cargoes for foreign
tonnage, not only at our home ports,
but at all foreign ports as well. His
idea is to take the tariff off, so foreign
ships shall bring no ballast, but easily
find cargoes for the United States in
every part of the globe; and by per-
hitting foreign nations to subsidize,
pay bounties, discriminate in marine
inspection, insurance rates and rules
for loading, together with the payment
of pauper or slave wages to crews, to
the consequent extinction of American
vessels. 81. c." looks forward to the
millennium for foreign acquisition,
authority and subjugation in the United
States. Too much salt in his beef, in
his forecastle days, has made 81. c."
a combination of an acid with base.

Senator "Zeb" Vance of North
Carolina, says the New York Tribune,
tells the following at the expense Of
one of the district attorneys of his
state, though he considerably refrains
from mentioning Names" 1t seems
that one day professional gentle
man" established faro bank in one Of
the towns of the district whose public
morals it was the duty of the district at
torney in question to guard. This
fact coming to the knowledge of law
abiding citizen, the district attorney
was Immediately informed of the
presence OF the wicked man of the
chips" The district attorney was
engaged in the courthouse at the
time in the discharge of official duties,
and when he got through and retired
to his room in the hotel he could not
recollect the crime of which the new
conner had been guilty, but remembered
that it sounded very much like the
name of king of Egypt of whom he
had read in his boyhood days; but here
again his memory was at fault for he
could not call to mind the name of
IIoS Mug w, w OllO
of the town, he stated to him that he
e;.i CllaG morning been reading about
a very wicked king OF Egypt; but had
forgotten the place in the bible where
it was to be found, and, wishing to
refer to it Immediately, had come to
him for the information ne desired.
The minister referred the man of
the law to the book and chapter, and he
retraced his steps with satisfied air;
but his memory proved treacherous
again, for when he reached his home
he could not recall anything the
minister had told him. Determined,
however, to vindicate the majesty of
the law, he drew an indictment in the
usual form and sent it to the grand
jury; charging the contumacious in
dividual with having violated the laws
of North Carolina in manner and form
following, to wit: Having taken the
name of the king of Egypt (name not
recollected) in vain"
