ON RISING GROUND.

Pm afraid that third party amt
as dead as some of the boys thought it
was," said a Campbell county politi-
clan yesterday. They are going to
have a grand rally at Fairburn on the
9th of next month. They put me in
mind of Jase Burr's mucle that fell in
the well. Jase saw he wasn't killed,
but thought it would cost more to raise
him out of the well that he vas worth,
so he decided to bury him right where
he was. He hauled dirt four days and
poured it down on the mule. The mule
shook it off and trod it down as fast as
Jase poured it in, and at the end of the
fourth day, when Jase had the old we'll
hole filled with dirt the mule stepped
out from the top Of the filling and
walked off to the trough to get a drink
of water. If we don't watch pretty
close it is more than likely that when
we get done bUrying the third party
we may find it stepping on US as chip
per and sassy and hungry as Jase's old
mule. "-AtLantG Constitution.

TOMATOES FOR HOME USE.

My method of raising tomatoes for
family use I have found quite success
full. The first requisite is good, strong,
ported plants, so far advanced as to be
ready to blossom. Last year some OF
them at planting-time had fruit set. I
have the ground prepared beforehand,
making the hills about 4 feet apart, and
working up the soil to the depth of 8
inches where the plants are to go. l
find good soil works as well for toma-
toes as for other crops. After the mid
die of May, or as soon as warm weather
has fairly come, the plants are trans
ferred from the pots, the earth and
roots adhering in such a way that
transplanting does not in the least
check their growth.
AS soon as the young plants attain
sufficient size to need it, strong stakes
about five feet in length are driven
into the ground, to which they are
tied. This was suggested to me by a
correspondent of the Country Gentle
o. some years ago, and 1 find it very
satisfactory. 1t keeps them off the
ground, thus preventing rotting, and
gives free scope to sunshine and air. If
the growth of the plants is too strong,
the ends are clipped off from time to
time, as we'll as superfuous branches.
I never plant two rows together, pre-
ferriug to give them the full benefit of
sunshine on all sides. The tomato is
emphatically a warm-weather plant,
and will not flourish in the shade.
Thorough cultivation and frequent
stirring of the soil, especially lin dry
weather, is important. By these means
last season we had ripe tomatoes by the
early part of July, and from that time
till the end of the season. M.

REFINED TASTES.

A rather pointed story is told OF
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, and
the late Senator Beck, which we give
without varnish.
Upon one occasion it was necessary
to test some Old Bourbon whiskey be.
fore shipping the Simon Pure to a fas,
tidious customer. The anxious dealer
b%ethought him of these two great men,
who were universally admitted to be
connoisseurs in the article, and begged
their indulgence in the matter of test
ing the liquor. Blackburn swallowd
a sip, smacked his lips, looked a ftCle
bit critical, tried it again, and hen
said: 1T is fair, very fair, hut, "
again smacking his lips, cit seems to
me l taste iron in it. The dealer Looked
discouraged.
Beck went through the same profess
of testing and trying, at last excldm-
ing: That's good, very good, but I
think I detect a taste Of leather"
The dealers face. fell. But feding
sure he had a superior article he iwes-
tigated. After diligent search he found
a carpet tack with a leather cap in the
bottom of the cask. -Hdrper's Nigga

STILL ANOTHER ON BLACKBURN.
Apropos of the foregoing from Har-
per's Magazine for May, the following
about Senator Joe Blackburn maynot
be amiss:
1t seems that a few years ago the
genial Senator, a thoroughbred Ken
tuckian, went by railroad out to Texas
and New Mexico. He decided to re-
turn on horseback, in order to see the
country. He was riding along the
road on his mustang or broncho, when
one day he was overtaken by an In.
dian, who rode abreast and made linn
self as agreeable a travelling cOmIan.

where he was from. Kentucky, SIR
responded the Senator. ugh! heap
good whiskey." Yes, very good whis
key. Have some?' With that the
Senator produced a flask. The Indian
drank a very healthy draught. They
rode on. Finally the Indian preached
the subject again, resulting in a re
peater. The bottle became almost ex
hausted.
Senator Blackburn told the joke or
himself to a delighted coterie of frinds
He said: "And gentlemen, don't you
know, that Indian offered me his horse
and his gun-and I believe he woulC
have added the clothes on his body
for another drink out of that bottle9"
One of the gentlemen listening said
"Well Senator, why didn't you SWAP
with him?"
Blackburn quickly exclaimed: my

Poetry.
WELCOME BEAUTIFUL SPRING.

The spring has come, the queen of the year,
10 our minds quite refreshing, to memory dear,
The sweet singing birds, the bright blooming
The soft zephyr breezes and cool, gentle showers.
Welcome to thee most beautiful spring,
For the joy and ~gla1ness thy presence will
bring;
That speaks of thy presence o beautiful queen.
The humming of insect the buzzing of bee,
Alike speak volumes in honor of thee;
The NOISY banked rivulet and ing rill
Send back the glad shout to mountain and hill.
The chipping of sparrow and whic-poor-wiII's
Make music to us as in days that are gone;
And awaken sweet memories of childhood and
youth,
When we learned the hrst lessons of virtue and
truth.
The frost has retreated the winter is gone,
And the tyTant that held us in tyranny long;
Is making his journey to more genial chimes,
Than those to the queen he sadly resigns.
His power is all broken, his kingdom o'erthrown.
And the vassals he ruled more peacibly grown;
And soon will no trace be left to remind.
Of his stay in the land he is leaving behind.
Again do we bid thee sweet welcome o spring,
To homes around which fond memories cling;
Welcome to hearts thy sunshine doth warm,
With rays that can vanish each shadOwy form.
Welcome to thee that speaks of a home,
Whose spring is eternal and age is unknown;
Where youth is renewed at the fountain of life,
And father and mother and husband and wife.
And all the dear friends we've mingled with
here,
That have felt the last pang and wiped the last
Shall meet on the shore of that heavenly land,
With Jesus and angels forever to stand.

A DIFFICULT FEAT.

In the old days in Western Penn
sylvania, when the people had little
money to pay for teachers, says the
Youths Companion, and could spare
their boys but little time from the
work of the field, school except" almost
necessarily during the few weeks when
it was in session, with no Saturday
holidays and very brief recesses.
At one little school house among the
mountains an old-fashioned Irish school
master was once employed who kept
his boys grinding steadily at their
tasks, but gave them permission to
nible from their lunch-baskets some
times as they worked.
One day, while the master was in
structing a class in the rule of three,
he noticed that n of his pupils was
paying more attention to a piece of
apple pie than to the lesson.
"Arrah, there" said the master,
Jack Bales, be listenin' to the lesson,

I'm listening, sir" said the boy.
"Listenin', is it9" exclaimed the
master; then it's Iistenin' wild one ear

Very Cseful If He Doesn't ~ar Many
Diamonds.
There is one individual about .
hotel who is seldom seen By the out
side public, but who occupies one of
the most responsible positions in every
hosiery. 1t is the night clerk.
His duties, says the Washington
Star, are, of course, not as arduous as
the day or room clerds, but they are
very responsible. The house is filled
with sleeping people and he maintains
over ali these precious lives an indirect
and important supervision. He looks
after the watchman closely TO see that
the halls are properly patroled and a
sharp lookout kept for fires. At the
disastrous Hotel Royal fire in New
York it will be remembered that it
was alleged that the great loss of life
there resulting was mainly due TO the
fact that the night clerk was at the
time the fire broke out either asleep or
improperly attending 10 his duties, as
the flames gained such tremendous
Roadway before any effort was made
to arouse the guests
The night clerk witnesses many
strange and interesting scenes and in
cidents. and could many an interesting
tale unfold if he chose.
