greatly enhances the intense flavor of

ton of the nutrnive elements in the

Confederate Prisoners on their
Travels.

We were to be sent to Johnson's
Island, Lake Erie
Oar route lay over the Erie Railroad,
aud we made the trip on parole. The
guard placed at each door of our coach
were for our comfort only. as we were
objects of marked curiosity during the
trip and would have been overrun with
visitors had not admittance been re-
fused. AT the different stations we
mingled freely with the people on the
platform and found them with few ex-
cepiions, courteous but inquisitive.
We were, no doubt. a disappointing
lot. There was nothing iu our apparel
to mark the Rebel soldier aud as we
mingled with the crowd surprise was
freely expressed that we were not as
their fancy painted us. though Just
what shape that fancy took j never
learned. The ladies. rs was the case
both North and South, were intensely
patriotic, and read us severe and no
doubt salstary lectures on the evil of
our ways, which were submissivelv
and courteously received and duly
pondered
There was one question that YOU
could safely wager would be asked bv
five out of ten. and that was, DO YOU
honestly think you are right?' This
conundrum was offered to me so often

Dibbles and Corn-dropDers.

"A dibble and a corn-dropper will
be more in his way than the rifle. for
some weeks to come.n said Mr.. Howell.
What s dibble?' asked both of the
youngsters at once.
The elder man smiled and looked at
Youukins as he said. "A dibble, nv
lambs, is an instrument for the plant
ing of corn. With it in one hand YOU
punch a hole in the sod that has been
turned over, and then, with the other
hand, You drop in three or four grains
of corn from the corn-dropper, cover it
with your heel, and there YOU are, -
planted"
why, | supposed we were going TO
plant corn with hoe; and we've got
hoes, tool" cried Oscar.
No. my SON." said his father; IF
we were TO plant corn with Il hoe, we
should MT get through planting before
next fall, | am afraid After dinner,
we will make some dibbles for YOU,
boys, for you must begin to drop corn
tomorrow. What plowing we have
done to-day, You can easily catch up
with when you begin. Aud the three
of you can ali be on the furrow at once.
- t''tt cNSLio w VI IIi " lllIS
The boys very soon understood fully
what "A dibble was and what corn
dropper was, strange though those im-
plementS were to them at first. Be-
fore the end of planting-time. they
fervently wished they had never seen
either OF these instruments of the corn
planter.
With the aid of few rude tools
there was fashioned Il staff from the
tough hickory that grew near at hand,
the lower part of the stick being thick
and pointed at the end. The staff was
about as high as would come up to "A
boys shoulder, so that rs he grasped it
near the upper end. his arm being
bent, the lower end was on the ground.
The upper end was whitfield so as to
make Il convenient handle for the user.
The lower end was shaped carefully
into something like the convex sides of
two spoons put together bv their bowls.
and the lower edge of this part was
shaved down to a sharpness that was
increased by slightly sn1rching it in the
fire. just above the thickest part of
the dibble, hole was bored at right
angles through the wood and into this
Il peg was driven so that several inches
stuck out on both sides of the nstru-
ment. This completed the dibble.
so that is Il diGble, is it?" said Os-
car, when the first one was shown him.
"A dibblc. Now let 5 see how you use
it,
Thereupon his Uncle Aleck stood up,
graspcd the staff by the upper end,
pressed his foot on The ppu al the Io,yar
end of the tool and So forced the sharp
point of the dibble downward into the
earth. Then, drawing it ont, a convex
slit was shown in the elastic turf.
Shaking an imaginary grain of corn
into the hole, he closed it with a stamp
of his heel, stepped forward and re-
peated the motion Il few times, and
then said: That S how they plant
corn on the sod in Kansas. ."-Noah

The inspector awaited his time for a
proper answer, according to the i'm
mortal advice, Vengeance is IA dish
that must be eaten COOL When the
inspector was introduced to the teach
er he said he was curious to see how
well punctuation was taught The
burgomaster, the local supervisory
authority, said: Never mind that;
we care naught for commas and the

Doesn't Need Hair RestOrers.

The longest suit of hair in the world
is perhaps that which grows on the
head of Miss Asenath Philpott of
Gainesville, Tex, hers trailing on the
ground when she stands nearly four
feet, and measuring in all ten feet and
seven inches. Miss Philpott is slight,
delicate woman, approaching middle
age, and regards her magnificent
tresses as rather nuisance, complain
ing that their weight actually drains
her strength, The present growth is
OF the past seven years, as in 1884 her
head was shaved during spell of
brain fever. 1t is necessary to her
health to cut out large quantities of
hair every few months, and this she
has a regular sale for from some large
wig mandatory in the east. which
pays her well for it, as its tineness and
silky gloss is exceptional. besides be-
ing of much admired red gold tint.
Miss Philpott SAYS she has been sew
eral times approached by epterprising
prOprietors of dime museums, who
have made her offers 10 travel with
them as freak, and has also been re-
qucsted TO act as agent for sundry hair
tonics. She claims that her family
have for generations been noted for
the beauty and length of their hrsute
ornaments. her grandfather having a
beard that fell to his feet, and bong
obliged to cut his hair every day or
two. Her mothers hair was such
that when she lay in her coffin it ell
wrapped her from head to foot and
was then obliged to be folded back
several times

James Gordon Bennett and the
Imps.

This is one of James Gordon Ben
nett's prime stock stories, as he relates
it:
When Irving was playing in Faust
in this country. he made it very realis-
Tic by employing Il large number OF
supernumaries who alternately ap-
peared as angels and then as imps of
darkness. One of the grand scenes is
where the impS of darkness descend.
At Il signal from Mcphisto the imps
begin TO scamper and get down below
through trap door. Many had gone
down below when Il big. fat. 50-cent-a-

large for the trap door and got stuck.
In vain he tried to push himself down.

IT PAID WILLIAM TO BE GooD.
A Singular Suit Won by Buffalo Man After
Long Fight.


Long Fight.
BUFFALO, April 17.-William E. Storey,
of this city, has just secured the first YER
dict of its kind on record. On March 20
1869. his uncle, William Storey, Buffalo
wholesale liquor dealer, told William, then
a lad in knickerbockers, that he would give
him IS, 900 if he would not smoke or drink
until he became q years of age.
The uncle added several other conditions,
even coffee, cards and billiards being
tabooed. As the old man had made his
money in appetizing liquors his injunctions
to his nephew were the more remarkable.
The incentive of golden reward caused
William to lead an exemplary life. On
January 81, 1885, he attained his majority
and wrote to his uncle claiming the 1000.
The uncle replied acknowledging the in
debtedness but said he desired to hold tine
money on interest until future day. Soon
after Mr.. Storey died and his executor,
Franklin Sidway. refused to pay the claim.
The case was tried in the Supreme Court
and Judgment recovered for IS, 5S5 SO, prin-
eipal and interest. This Judgment was re-
versed by the General Term, but this week
was sustained by the Court of Appeals and
William E. Storey will get his money.
