There were tobacco crops raised in this
county of which we had not been advised.
Besides the crops of Messrs. James F. Lay
and Thomas II. McWhortcr, we find that
Mr.. Walter l.. Boggs, of Liberty, is i'll the
business to the extent Of three barns or
one barn full three times. We spent the
evening at his fathers last Friday and he
looks very much like The stuff they ship
from the tobacco farms in Virginia. Mr.
Boggs says he is not yet prepared to say
whether tobacco is a good money crop or
no. but can tell better about this feature of
the business after he sells.

A Novel Idea,

The expense of funeral in large city has grown to such proportions that the average man, according to a face tious contemporary, commits more ex- travagance in the act of dying than he ever did during life. It has been sug- gested that a much less costly form of gravestone than that usually erected would meet all the requirements of af- fectionate remembrance and respect, and the suggestion has been carried into effect in the patenting of "a grave marker" This is simply a memorial leaf. It consists of two outer plates bent so as to form holder for leaves or tablets, adapted to be suspended from a frame to receive and retain ob- jects desired to be kept as mementoes of the deceased. The tablets beneath the outer plates can be designed in any desired form, and as they have sides of mica or transparent material to protect the tokens, any object, such as photographs, sketches, etc., can be in. serted. For instance, a sketch of the life of the departed or lock of hail can be placed in the receptacle, where it is securely protected from the weath CT, and, as it is covered with mica, il will last for many years without bleach ing or decaying.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-09-15
MISS EDITH BRILL.

was playing with number of children in Woolwich backyard, when two of them fell into the King William dock. A boy who was standing at the top of the steps overbalanced himself and, in falling, caught hold of the frock of a little boy two and a half years old, and both tumbled down the steps and into the water. Edith Brill ran down the steps and into the water up to her neck. She caught the younger child and brought him safely out. Then return ing, she seized the hand of the other boy and doubtless would have saved him had not he in his fright let go of her hand and, trying to catch at her leg, was drowned. The story of the rescue was brought to'the notice of the Royal Humane society, and one evening at the town hall, Woolwich, the bronze medal of the society was publicly pre- sented to the little heroine by colonel and member of parliament, who made little speech of presentation and com plimented the child's courage.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-09-15
succeas tn Matrimouy.

A young woman who has made highly prosperous marriage, discourses upon success .n matrimony in the follow ing sensible strain: ''I never would have got my husband if I had not shown my self a good fellow. My husband first made sure that, instead of being a clog on his diversions, could be his com panion in them. In fact could help them along. The nineteenth-century. woman to be successful in matrimony- which is quite different thing from
 winning fellowships at Yale, writing prize odes at Harvard, being senior
 wranglers at Cambridge must be able to walk 8 social tight-rope without fal-
 tering. She must be able to look down abysses without falling in She must
 be the mistress of all situations She must be capable of extremes. When he is merry she must know how to dance; when he is sad she must be able to sing psalms. My experience is that my feet perform more service than my voice Especially she must be learned and skillful in eating and drinking, and afterward be able to bind up his head with her crimps fresh and smooth. The place, you see, Is no sinecure; but it has its advantages" This view, while per
 haps somewhat exaggerated, is un-
 doubtedly the proper one to present to
 marriageable young women, for no
 matter how much affection there may be between husband and wife the prac-
 tical necessities of life are bound to be observed, and as the circus man said:
 "The animals have got to be fed or the show can't go on."

A 1irasshopper Diet.

Some enterprising person who does not mind making experiments that would daunt many men of unquestioned bravery, has discovered that grasshop- pers are good to eat. It is claimed for them that they are not only nutritious but agreeable to the taste, particularly when boiled for two hours with butter and spices and salt added. The value of this discovery is great, because these athletic insects have often devastated the farms in the west to such an extent that those who have depended on their farm produce for their daily food have been brought face to face with starvation. Now, knowing the value of the grasshopper as a means of sus- taining life, they need not starve, and If, as the discoverer claims, the insect is SO delicious morsel, perhaps many will welcome what has hitherto been consid- cred plague simply for the variety the visitation will afford in their daily fare
