In the Island of Corsica near the

and about twenty-five miles from the
city OF Corte, there Is a tent acre field
which is simply q subterranean lake
covered with soil to depth Of about
Is inches. On the soil last year there
was cultivated a piece OF wheat which
produced thirty-fve bushels to the
acre. A curious person who desires
to investigate for himself. and who
will take the trouble to dig a hole the

he has dug entirely through the thin
covering OF soil to the surface OF u

depth. Through the opening thus
made fish may be caught which have

by hand, the soil not being OF sufficient
strength to bear a horse and machin-

Friendship is one Of those subjects
on which much more has been written
than is understood about it. Perhaps
Dante's definition Of friendship is the
shortest and best one OF all. He was
asked by the Prince OF Corona how
the fact was to be accounted for that in
the household Of the princess the court
fool was in greater favor than the
philosopher. Similarity OF mind Is
the cause OF friendship the world oyer. !"
was the fierce reply Of Dante, thereby
mourning the eternal enmity OF the
Prince. There are many causes that
separate friends. One Of the ioaasns
that part friends is sarcasm. Another
is borrowing money. Make friends
with your creditors II you can. but
never make a creditor of your friend.
Some persons look for perfection IN a
friend. They are doomed to disap-
pointment- Saturday Evening Post.

THE LOCO HABIT.
As Deadly Among horse. as tho Opium
Habit Among Men.

As Deadly Among Aorse4 rs tho Opium
Habit Among Men.
I'VE have on the plains OF Texas
and New Mexico what might appro-
priately be called natural opium joints,
where horses and mules metaphoric-
ally hit the pipe and become regular
fiends," said former Texas ranchman
TO N. Y. Sun reporter. LAS a mat
ter Of fact there is no opium nor any
pipe, but no joint ever offered better
facilities for its ha5itues to become
moral and physical wrecks than cer-
tain localities on tho plains do to the
horses and mules which are there
exposed to the temptation OF the loco
weed.
Now good many plainsmen rldi-
cule the idea that the loco weed leads
horses and mules astray. and soon
makes wrecks OF them. and / have
heard men say that they have known
their horses to pasture regularly on
what they call the loco weed and thrive
on it. II that is so. the loco weed OF
California Is not the same as what we
call the loco weed OF Texas and New
Mexico. The California loco Is what
we call the rattle weed. l guess be-
cause it has a pod with seeds that
make noise in the wind like live
rattlesnake. Some people out there
call 1t the vegetable rattlesnake, and
declare that its juice is deadly poison.
Now the loco weed OF Texas and Mex
leo Is different and l never knew a
horse or a mule to go away with IL ex-
cept in the winter time Ithas a light
green bunchy growth. and will have
its fresh-looking leaves above the
snow when no other vegetation looks
so tempting. and 1t is then the unsus-
pecting animals are begulled by it.
After a horse or a mule has taken his
first crop OF loco he will give every
thing else the go by to get more of II,
and soon becomes u confirmed loco
eater. No opium fiend ever longed
for or sought more persistently for his
pipe than horse or mule will long
and seek for the fatal loco punches.
II the animals can not obtain the plant
they will fall into a state of abject
nervous collapse. They see things
as the drunkard suffering from delir.
ium tremens sees things. They will
plunge and rear and tumble at imagi-
nary things. and become utterly I'M
manageable and irresponsible. A few
leaves of loco will restore them to
placidity so far as their nervous sys-
tenn is concerned. but they gradually
lose in physical vigor and intelligence
until at the end Of two or three months
they are virtually imbeciles and physi-
cal wrecks. They become thin and
weak. and die in evident delirium.
MANY. an excellent horse of the
best breeding and previous ire
proachable reputation as a herdsman's
aid, have / known to be led to ruin by
the insidious loco weed and die as
pitiable wreck as any human being
who ever fell a victim to the fascina-
tions OF opium"

The Pure Yankee DrawI.

The slab-sided Yankee and the Yam.
kee drawl are popular decisions. That
is TO say, slab sides and drawing are
less prevalent in Yankeedom than in
some other places-they are not dis
tinctively Yankee productions.
"Caow" and "haow" and thelik may
be heard more or less in every town in
Vermont, but the pronunciation is
not the rule and is most noticeable
among illiterate people. 81 in all
New England. But if any one will go
down the coast and cross the Hud-
son River, he may hear that drawl
with such denominations as are never
approached in Yankee land, and that
among all classes OF people. He will
find it strong in New Jersey, faint and
rare in the Philadelphia region, where
the Dutch seem to have given q kind OF
broadbrogue toall mankind, but strong
again southwark to Virginia, where
the people are OF English stock. No
doubt the "caow" pronunciation
was brought over from England with
other things good and bad, andplant-
ed wherever colonies were establish
ed. The drawl is an offensive thing
q barbarous thing, as reckoned in
New England-but it now really be-
longs less to Yankeeland than to
some other sections.

General Grants Grudgc.

About seventy years or so ago two
boys OF and 9 years were playing on
the banks Of swollen stream in Ohio.
One OF them fell in and was rescued
from drowning by the other. In 1877
Gen. Grant wrote from Nice to Admir-
al Ammen: '.Of course told them
that owed you an old grudge as be-
ing responsible for the many trials
and difficulties l had passed through
in the last half century; for nearly
that length OF time ago you rescued
me from watery grave" The same

WILLIAM pINKERToN, the celebrated
detective has given history of the whole
affair which ended 10 the death of Chief
Hennessey of New Orleans. and the
lynching of his assassins after they had
been acquitted by corrupt jury.
Fifteen years ago the leader of a gang
of banditti In Italy was forced to flee to
America. His robberies and atrocities
were such that the italian government
offered large reward for his capture.
His name was opposite and with him
came number of his band. They set
tied in New. Orleans. opposite became the
skipper of little fruit vessel and he was
captured by Hennessey then policeman
and not much more than boy. A few
years ago he became chief of police and
I learned that feud existed between two
bands of Italians most of whom were en-.
gagged IN the fruit trade and some of
whom were wealthy. One band of Ital-
ians waylaid another and shot a number
of them. Hennessey succeeded in captur-
ing some of them and while at work on
the case learned of the existence of a
band sworn TO assassination should ii be
ordered. He also learned that this band
numbered many of Eposito's followers
and that they had never forgiven him the
capture OF their chief. While making his
Investigations he frequently received
threatening letters if he did not desist:
but he preserved and was riddled with
! bullets one night ii October last. A dis
reputable detective named O'Malley was
engaged by the Italians to fix the jury SO
that those who murdered Hennessey
might escape punishment. He succeed
Ell in having 200 names selected from
which the jury was to be drawn. and
I O'Mally then proceeded to work the jur-
ors and the witnesses. Pinkerton saws
I that O'Mally will be the next one to bite
3 the dust, and he does not talk as if il
would be great matter of regret.

LAST fall in New Orleans a policeman
named Hennessey was killed by a band
of Italians. His death was due to the
fact that he was collecting testimony to
prove that among the Italians of that
city there was an assassination society.
He was warned to desist but paid no heed
to threats. His own death was proof of
the existence of the society he was run
ming down. Arrests followed but after
a long trial the prisoners were acquitted
on Friday last On Saturday morning the
best people of the city assembled to the
number of 5000 and without disguise or
any effort at concealment, marched to the
jail and shot down the eleven Italians
who were there confined. There seems
to be no doubt that they were implicated
in the death of Hennessey.

THE support which Parnell is receiving
from the Irish people is the result of
gratitude for his past services and not
approval of his present course. Had the
clergy Aot sought to command the Irish
people to depose Parnell as their leader,
he would have been unable to hold his
own in the contest. In assuming to be
all there is of the Irish movement he will
Justify the attacks made upon him by
those who were too prompt to forget the
splendid services he has rendered. Par
nell is actingin such way as to encour-
age the belief that he was actuated more
by personal considerations in what he
has done than by devotion to the Irish
people. He must modify his course or
he will lose his friends.
