His Audience.

A pretty story, which has, moreover,
She merit of being true. is told Of Il GER
tain professional singer. He had beau
tiful tenor voice, of which he was apt to
take the best of care, so that when he
was crossing the Atlantic one summer
with party of friends, they were not
surprised to find that he disappeared
FROM view every evening at just about
the same time.
"Afraid of the night air. said one.
with slight smile.
"Afraid we'll ask him to sing. prob
ably" said another, but no one ques-
toned him, as he was known to be quite
immoyable from his own way.
But when the last night on board
came, delegation descended to his
stateroom to beg for song or two, and
discovered that he was not there. They
looked for him in vain, until at last the
captain. who had evidently kept the
secret as long as he could, said, pointing
In the direction Of the engine room:
81 think you'll find him down there;
that's where he's gone every evening"
Sure enough, when the delegation ar
rived at the engine room, they heard tho
sound of guitar and a voice, and there,
lolling against the wall, was therecreant
tenor, singing his best for the delight Of
the stokers, whom he had entertained
in this way for more than an hour every
evening during the voyage.-Youth'e

A rele,athio Coincidence.

l had as guest in my residence in
Jamaica lady of unusual intelligence,
who was very intimate with and much
attached to Mrs. Beecher Stowe. They
frequently corresponded. She bad q
dream in which Mrs. Stowe seemed to
be occupied, singularly enough, in dig
ging the ground. and she inquired il
there was any foundation for this. From
the reply she learned that Mrs. Stowe
had been shortly before in Scotland on
visit to the Duke Of Argyle, and had
been asked to plant tree as memorial
of her visit on leaving. Here it is pxoba-
BILE that, besides the general sympathy
between the parties concerned, there
was some special thought. on Mrs.
Stoves part. of the friend who dreamed
of her act, connected in time either with
the actual handling Of the spade or with
the remembrance of her strange occupa-
ton. Few people would suppose such a
coincidence to be purely accidental, unless
from the apparent impossibility for ac-
counting for it Observation-Disclosures IS

A Paper for the Million.

The Westca Rural and American
Stockman, one of the Oldest farm
journals i'll this country, is 4 journal of
large size, and filled with literature
which not only represents agriculture
and its kindred interests in their
highest sense, but Jevotes much space
for the entertainment of the farmers
family, on the groand that the farmer
and his family arc Of as much impor-
tance as the farm.
We find in its columns, also, able
articles devoted to the discussion Of the
economic and social questions of our
times. The Rural has no hobby, but
aids IN the advancement Of all the
practical reform measures which are
agitating the public mind at the
present time. 1t believes in organiza-
ton among farmers, and has devoted
much time and expense to the end that
producers might stand together for
their rights, but above all it believes in
education, and the general information
in regard to public affairs which is
necessary to fit the people for self.
reliant citizenship. To this end the
Rural has assisted in the establishment
Of school of agriculture and manual
Training for dependent street waits
which is doing great work in saving

tered the lists with divided following.
on platform which alienated theparty

such setting forth of the Ohio situa-

the issues that will split the parties in
the great national campaign in '92.
1t is the only state wherein there were

Victory for Corn Brea,l.

BERLIN, Nov. Minister Phelps
has taken a peculiar and highly
original way of introducing Amerlcan
meats and the great American staple,
Indian corn, to ths &ttention of the
Berliners, and Of Germany generally.
He gave dinner yesterday to a
number of German notabilities and
their wives, including Dr.. Miguel,
Minister of Finance; DIR. De Beetticher,
Secretary of the interior, and number
Of other leading men of the empire and
and Prussia. The banquet included
all the luxuries of the season, and was
of the highest order in every respect;
but chief and peerless among the
dainties, from an American point of
view, were the bacon and corn bread
from America.
Mr.. Phelps evidently has the benefit
of cook who could not be surpassed
in Virginia in the art of making corr,
bread toothsome, and all the German
guests united in praise of The article
as presented on Mr.. Phelps table. Dr.
Miguel made some earnest remarks in
praise both of the bacon and the corn
bread, and said that hereafter corn
bread would be included among the
supplies at his table.
What is more important was the
statement that the German duties on
Indian corn would soon bo removed
and American corn bread fed to the
German army, thus rendering Ger
many Independent of Russian rye. ANY
step of this kind would need action or
tho part of the Reichstag, which meet.
on the 18th inst, and in which the
question Of commercial treaties ant
the removal of duties will no doubt b,
discussed with considerable interest
and animosity.-N. Y. Press.
