A gentleman IN a country town, says
the New York Ledger. recently became
conscious Of most suspicious glances
cast upon him by his neighbors and ac-
oraint!nccs. Then he became aware
that his footsteps were doggcd.
A constable was occasionally seen
around his house, and subsequently q
stranger, who afterward turned out 20
be a detective, appeared. Tortured and
troubled, the gentleman at last asked q
friend the meaning Of it all.
Don't you know" said he. They
suspect you Of murder. y

ton, How do you attract such
crowds into your store ," and
our answer to them is, by stick
ing to the eternal rules Of quick
sales and small profits for the
cash only, and putting the same
value upon every mans dollar,
the rich and the poor all treated
alike and letting King Credit
and his host of followers play
their doleful tune upon some
other corner. In calling your
attention to our various lines Of

faint description Of the goods

proposition was to furnish twelve arc

the matter aud came to the conclu-

Poison ON Envelope Flaps.

There have been items going the usu-
al course of publication recently in
which deaths are said to have been
caused by licking the flaps of envelopes
gummed with diseased product.
The report started in California, we
believe, and has extended across the
ocean, where it meets with critical re-
ception. A correspondent Of foreign
paper, signing himself ''An Old Envel-
ope Maker puts the question In its
proper light, says writer in Paper and
Press, and what he says will apply as
well to this country as to the other side.
He very sensibly writes:
''I have been connected with the en-
velope trade since 1851 and conse-
quently know something about the mat
ter. The only adhesive matters used on
the top flaps Of envelopes are (1) nat
ural gum, [2) dextrin or potato starch,
both Of which, being purely vegetable
substances, are absolutely harmless.
"All high class staaioners, moreover,
insist on the former (gum arabic) being
used exclusively, and I use nothing but
brown barbary' on even the cheapest
qualities.
cit is true that fish glue and other
strong and tenacious compounds are
used upon envelopes, but only On bot
tom flaps and never on any part likely
to be moistened by the tongue. ,"

Fury Of the Flood.

St. Louis, May 22.-The Missis-
sippi river is now within three feet of
the danger line in front of this city.
This morning the guege registered
27 feet-a rise of nearly two feet
during the past "a hours. 1t is ex-
pected that the danger line will be
reached by tomorrow night and Sc
rious damage will result to property
along the levee. Already property
owners and storekeepers are moving
their effects to upper floors. Ad-
vices received from upper Missouri,
Illinois and Iowa points states that
the rivers in those sections are on the
rampage, and pouring an immense
volume of water into the Mississippi.
Old river men declare that the flood
of four years ago will be exceeded
by the present rise. Danger warn
ings have been issued to all points
between Keokuk and Cairo.

Utilizing Crows.

A Pennsylvania farmer has turned
the crows to a good account. He
makes them allies in his work.
Writing to the American Agricultur-
alist he says: ''For the past five sea-
sons I have, just before I expected
my corn to come up, sowed on the
field about quart of corn to each
acre, and repeated the operation as
often as necessary, until the corn
was so large that the crows could
not pull it up. If the corn is soaked
until it is tender, they prefer picking
what they want to eat from the
surface rather than to pull up the
young plants 70 get it. The cost of
the corn thus sown is but trihe; and
as result I have a great number of
crows in my corn field almost con-
stantly, and after they have been
satisfied with corn, they will still
pick up all the insects, grubs, and
cut-worms they can find, as dessert.
In raising SO acres of corn since
adopting this plain, I have not lost a
hundred stalks by crows and cut
worms combined"
