One of the Meanest.

One OF the most remarkable cases
of close listed stinginess ever knswn
has just been brought to light in Sa
lem, Ills. 1t is unne essary to name
the parties, but the story as vouched
for by several citizens of this place is
as follows:
A farmer residing near here, worth
from 5000 to $4,000, not long
since had a brother in the neighbour
hood who was very sick. The at
tendin physician requested that the
sick man be given small quantities OF
lemonade. The wealthy brother was
dispatched to town to get some lem
ons. He went to leading grocery
store and purchased three for ten
cents. That night the sick brother
died, and only one of the lemons had
besn used.
The day after the funeral the
wealthy brother took the two re-
naming lemons back to the mer-
chant and said as his brother had
died before using all OF them he had
no further use for them ami he de
manded six cents for the two return
ell, The merchant refused to take
the lemons back and the miserly old
fellow went away Inad-St. Louis Re-

Inhumanity In Maine.

A.Saco man has in his family a
stepdaughter about Z years old,
whose lot cannot be a happy one.
One afternoon the man and his
wife locked up the house, leaving the
girl outside, and went visiting. They
did not come back that night and the
girl slept on the stone doorstep, get
ting what she could to eat the next
day, as her mother and stepfather
still remained away. That evening
she had again camped upon the door
step when q neighbor saw her and
learned why she had no better bed.
He took her to his home, and bright
and early in the morning started out
with n club to try to beat a little
humanity into the stepfather, pro-
viding he had returned. He found
him, and though he did not use the
club he gave him emphatic warning
that If he ever heard of his abusing
or neglecting the girl again he would
use it. This is one ot the cases where
the American Peace association
would prescribe war, we think

The Distribution Of Seeds.

From the Edinburg Review.
Mr. Darwin found that the small
portions of earth attaching Co the
feet migrating birds contained seed.
Nine grains of earth on the leg of a
woodcock contained a seed of the
toadrush. From six. and a hall
ounces of earth rolled into ball and
adhering to the leg of a wounded
partridge he raised eighty-two sepa-
rate plants of five species. Migrating
birds often frequent the edges OF
ponds ere their departure, and in six
and three-guarters ounces OF such
mud he raised, under glass, 537
plants. Seeds furnished with crowns,
hooks or prickles readily stick to the
plumage of birds, which all such
birds. and especially such wanderers
az the albatros,s might carry long
distances. Applying these acts to
the case OF the Azores, Mr. Wallace
found that most of the plants in
Azorenn fora are we'll adapted to he
carried by the methods Just suggest
ed-forty@five of the 439 towering
plants belonging to genera that
have either pappus or winged seeds,
sixty-five to such as have minute
seeds, thirty to those with feshy
fruits which are greedily eaten by
birds, some have hiSpid seeds, and
eighty-four are glumaceous plants
weIl-suited to conveyance by winds
and currents. Tie only trees and
shrubs of this isolated group are
bearers OF small berries; such AS tho
Portugal laurel, myrtle, laurustinus,
and elder, while those with heavy
berries, which could not be conveyed
by the means suggested-oaks, chest
nuts, hazel, apples, beeches, alders,
frs-are absent, common as they
are in Europe. The character of the
fora is that of the southwestern pen
insula of Europe, and if we assume
that one half OF it's species is indigen-
Gus, the other introduced by Europen
settlers, there is still rich and varied
fora which Mr.. Wallace thinks has
been recently over 900 miles OF ocean
by the means just indicated. 1t is be-
lieved that the phenomena in qIes-
ton are still in progress, and that
900 miles does not form the limit OF
the distance to which the same oceap
carrying of plants extends.

Cremated in Burning Brandy

Cremated in Burning Brandy.
A shocking incident occurred the
other afternoon in Paris. An ap-
prentice baker was carrying a jar
containing about six gallons of
brandy on his shou der up dark
staircase where a jet OF gas is gener-
ally burning. On the second land
ing he missed his foot and stumbled
against the wall. The ia. broke, the
liquor came in contact with the gas
aud in moment the unfortunate
lad was enveloped in flames of burn
ing spirit. His heartrending cries
brought the tenpnts out but the heat
was SO great that they could not get
near him for some time, and he died
before their eyes in inteis Sc suffering.
When the police and the doctors arr
rived they found nothing but u body
com gletely chlcined. and it took
them some time to prevent the burn
ing brandy setting fire to the wood
work on the whole house.

The Augusta Rockingham County Line.

In the suit Of the Black Rock Springs
Co. Us. R. I. Miller, which came up in the
Circuit Court of Augusta this week, the
defendant pleaded that the court did not
have jurisdiction, as under the new survey
the property lay in Rockingham. The
plaintiff took a non-suit rather than wait
for settlement Of the line. and will bring
the suit in the Rockingham Circuit Court
as the defendant lives in that county. This
is the line run by the Rockingham County
Surveyor which puts the town of Shendun,
a part of Black Rock Springs, and other
property heretofore regarded as in Augusta,
in the county of Rockingham. The ques-
ton will finally have to be settled by the
legislature. The present law provides in
such disputed lines that each of the two
county Judges shall appoint a commission
of five freeholders to decide, but where each
commission takes opposite ground makes
no provision for arbitration. The author
tiles Of the county of Augusta still regard
the territory named as in our county, and

The Sale at Basic City December
3rd and 4th.

The conspicuous advertisement Of the
sale Of lots at Basic City, which appears in
to-day's paper, hardly needs calling atten-
ton to. But one OIL two special features
Of the sale may be referred to. One is the
fact that the Company has kept its word
in making it's property valuable, and that
every foot of it's industrial site is covered
with buildings being erected for manufac-
lures. When these go into operation at the
beginning of the new year, there will be a
population Of nearly 5000 in Basic City.
Another feature, and one very encouraging
to buyers, is that the lots there will be sold
at reasonable prices-the Company itself is
DESTROYS that they should be. 1t is hard for
any one to understand the future value Of
property at Basic City until he goes there
and sees the enormous structures erected
and being erected for manufactures. A
very agreeable incident of the sale is that
the splendid new Hotel Brandon is open,
handsomely furnished and ready to accom-
modate all who come.
