in purchasing goods in New York for
retail store in New Haven. Being en-
ployed in this way he gained knowl-
edge of mercantile life from which he
prOfted when he came to the West
Nathaniel Dean was conducting a store
at Madison when Mr.. futile arrived there
and he was at once employed. In the
spring Of 1S47 Mr.. Dean sent his clerk
to Portage with a stock Of goods, and
this was the first store opened at that
nership with David Munson, under the
firm name of A. @. TuttIe G Co. Mr.
Munson had been enga ged in buying cot
ton in Mobile, Ala. The last-named gen
tleman purchased the goods in New York
and when he returned he was accom-
panied by Mrs. futile.
The journey from Milwaukee was made
under great difficulties. The roads in the
forest were almost impassa bic and many
times assistance had to be secured to get
the heayily-lOaded wagon out of the mud
in order to resume their journey. Their
store in BarabOo was the first trading
being done previous to this time at Man
chester, not far away. Mr.. futile was
postmaster while they conducted the store
and most of the goods were exchanged
for lumber, which was sent down the
rivers to st. Louis. While thus engaged
the firm lost a valuable raft of lumber
and Mr. futile then concluded to go out Of
the mercantile business.

purchased by Mr.. Tuttle near the city

der the firm name of futile, Clark &
Sons, which f1ourished and furnished trees

Cassius NJ. Clay, minister to ST. Peters
burg, he secured the first Russian apple
trees ever brought to this country. For
tWenty-fOur out of twenty-five years he
took first premium at the State Agricul-
tural society for the best exhibit of ap-
pies.

DOUBT.

When out beyond the ebon gates we've
passed,
And standing in the sempiternal light
Or life'S young dawn, we see resolved at
The thousand busy doubts of yesternight;
When all the partial truths that here ha-
raised
Are there made whole, and in our full-grown
sight
The jealous wards of mystery wear trite-
When all is clear and naught is overcast
Shall we not miss the pleasure of the pause,
The graceful play Of judgment and-friend
Chance"
Who never cared a rap for reasons laws,
But led Old prudent science such a dance
Aye, sna'n't we miss then. IT'S q merry
doubt
But faith. we'll pay the piper finding out

at New Haven in the same state, but
as there were reports far and wide that
the goose was laying the golden egg in

Chased by a Wolf.
While in Madison he was the guest of
John Y. Smith, whose son, Haydn *.
Smith, is now one of the editors of the
Chicago Chronicle. Mr.. futile had an
experience at Madison which he cannot
forget. One day he skated across Mono
ma lake with the late DR.. Chapman of
that city and they were near the bank
a large timber wolf rushed down upon
them. They were unarmed and skated
to one side as the animal reached the ice
The wolf was unable to control its direc-
ton on the smooth surface. so glided past
them. The two men then started for the
opposite shore, and each time as the wolf
came near they would take another direc-
ton and so escaped unframed. Had they
not used this deXterity the wolf would
no doubt have attacked them. When
Madison was reached the wolf would not
go on the shore and was afterwards killed
by throwing him a piece Of meat covered
with strychnine.

Fire-Destroyine Powder.

4 new fire-extinguishing powder is on
the market, of which great things are
promised. 1t is said that pinch of the
powder will instantly extinguish a large
volume of flame arising from burning
naphtha, kerosene or other highly-infam-
mable liquid. which may be in either a
floating or diffused state. It is stated
that the manufacturers Of the powder
have taken it out of the incipient ire-eX-
tinguishing class. This step would ap-
pear to have ample Justification, for an
official record Of the New York city fire
commissioners sets forth that seventy GU
bic inches of the powder killed over 2,00O,-
900 cubic inches of flame in seventeen
seconds, and that without d particle of
damage outside of the fire loss.
The powder is perfectly harmless to the
person or fabric, and can be swept up and
used over again if economy be sought. A
handful thrown in any opening beneath
the fire in a burning fiue or chimney will
kill it instantly, which is a manifest adj
vantage over the ordinary method of
fighting the fire from the top. 1t will
keep for an indefinite time in amy climate
without any loss of efficiency. It's use
does not necessitate any mechanical ap-
pliance, as it is put up in q tin tube, open
at one end % inches long and two inches
in diameter, weighing about three pounds
1t has been adopted in many public build
