was blessed with five manageable
daughters. AS the curate had fore
seen, it was not long before he had
an opportunity of bringing himself
under the bishops notice; and, as he
had likewise foreseen, the superior cut
of his long black coat, and the superior
polish of his manners made a certain
impression on his lordship's mind.
Mr.. D'Oyley was asked to garden par
ty at the palace, and he made such
good use of his time on that occasion
that before long he was invited to the
palace second time. He then con-
trived to be employed by one of the
bishops chaplains as sort of unpaid
assistant: and thenceforward his
progress became easy.
Before DR.. Smiles had been six
months at Bishops Tilton Mr.. D'Oyley
had contrived TO be on terms of SYM
pathetic friendship with Ernesta, the
bishops third daughter. She had con-
fided to him her preference for the
Sarum Use; he had told her with
sigh that the low tone of the diocese
L,
they understood one another. But
Ernesta knew very well that for her
to marry penniless curate was out
of the question; while the clergyman
never dreamt of wedding portionless
girl, as the third Miss Smiles certain
ly was.
Matters were in this position when
the diocese was startled by the news
that the rector of Dftchley had sud-
denly died. Now, Ditchley was one of
the plums in the Brampton pudding
Mr.. D'Oyley had no occasion to look
it up in Crockford. He knew all about
it, 500 per annum, and a house;
patron, Lord Cuddesly.
For some time the curate of Market
Dedham sat bordering. Then he got
up and rummaged out an old UNIVERSE
ty calendar, and by its help discovered
the pleasing fact that Hon. Algernon
Debray, Lord Cuddesly's eldest son,
had been at Oxford for three months
before he himself left that seat of
learning. Mr.. D'Oyley, having ascer-
tanned this fact, resumed his medita-
tons.
The following day he went to the
palace and asked for the bishop. The
bishop received him with business
like air, which would have been dis
concerning to most men, but Rev. Sep
timus D'Oyley refused to notice it.
He seated himself, and proceeded to
inform his lordship that he had to
speak of subject that was very near
to his heart The bishop stared. Then
the young clergyman mentioned the
name of Miss Ernesta. : ~
"Sir!" cried thu bishop, half rising
from his chair in Lis anger.

Dispos5nc of Dead Animals.

The bodies of dead animals are con-
verted into fertilizer by some farmers,
but something depends upon circum-
stances as to the ACCESSIBILITY of so do
ing. If an animal dies of some con-
tagious disease and is buried the
earthworms will bring to the surface
the germs of the disease. This fact
was demonstrated. by. Pasteur, the IA
nous French chemist, who made tests
in that direction. Disease was com
municated to animals that ate grass
which grew over the body of buried
animal. The better plan is to consume
the bodies of diseased animals, or sub
ject them to a bath of sulphuric acid
after death, in order to destroy tie
germs of disease.

a s ttroke Of
Diplomacy ~
By JOHN X. LEYS
DEy sEpTIMIJs D'OYLEY
By JOHN K. LEYS

DEV. SEPTIMUS D'OYLEY was
\ without any special advantages
Of birth, fortune or intellectual abili-
ty; yet discerning person might have
predicted with safety that he would
rise il the world. He had good adj
dress, plenty of assurance (decently
veiled), and the outward appearance
of a gentleman. But, more than this,
he was a man of resource, as this story
will show.
Very early in his clerical career Mr.
D'Oyley had recognized the fact that
the estimation in which curate is
held largely depends on the fact of his
being unmarried. Married curates, he
observed, were invariably "huff'd an
cuff'd an disrespeckit'-at the most
they got newly-created parishes, with
a large working-class population, and
an endowment of 1900 per annum.
After he had been some years in the
diocese of Brampton, Rev. Septimus
D'Oyiey threw up pleasant and we'll
paid curacy in order to obtain less
conspicuous and less lucrative post in
the sleepy old town of Market Ded-
ham. This looked like retrograde
movement. But Mr.. D'Oyley knew
very well what he was about. The
bishop of Brampton, now quite an old
man, was doing away the last years
of his life at Bishops Tilton, only
few miles from Dedham. 1t could not
be long, SO argued Mr.. D'Oyley, before
Bishop Dewlap resigned, or was gath
cred to his fathers; and if an ener-
getic, middle-aged man came into his
room, the clergy at Market Dedham
would be well within the sphere of his
cognizance.
What the curate had expected actu-
ally took place. DR.. Dewlap departed
this life; and Rev. Gregory Smiles
reigned in his stead. The new bishop
of Brampton was married man; and

DIGNITY OF FARMING.
In All the World There Is No NoSler
Or More Learned Calling Than
That of Agriculture.

Within recent years it has come to
be acknowledged that the vocation of
the farmer isthe most dignified of all
the sciences and as an art it is ex-
celled only by those of painting and
architecture. In its highest forms it
is the most learned of all professions.
A knowledge of geology and chemis-
try and their relations to the soils
lies at the very foundation of scien-
tific agriculture. The problems that
arise from the complex nature of the
soils and their origin require the
best thought of the best minds to
solve. More educated young men
should be farmers. Agriculture opens
a wide field leading to influence and
power, one, too, that is not filled to
repletion. 1t holds forth the most
splendid promises to young men of
ambition. 1t is filed with liberaliz-
ing tendencies, a noble conservation
and the most healthful and invigorat.
ing influences. The day is not far
distant when agriculture will attract
men of the largest capacity and the
highest executive ability, and be re-
garded as the greatest of all the pro-
LESSONS. Let anyone who is familiar
with what agriculture was hundred
years ago compare its condition
then with what it is to-day and he
will search in vain for the same pro-
portionate elevation and progress
among it's followers in any other
branch of human industry. Many of
those engaged in agriculture now are
men of high elevation and broad
reading. Many of them have extern
sive and valuabl libraries and take
numerous journals devoted to their
business. Agriculture moves along in
it's own quiet, dignified, but irresisti-
BILE way. It has no booms, so to
speak, but it gathers strength with
each decade and with every accession
of knowledge, and will forever be the
most important branch of human in
dustry and the greatest necessity for
the human race.
If the young men who are measur-
ing tape and laces would surrender
their work to the young girls who
are seeking employment and turn
their attention to the pursuits of ag-
riculture there would be less misery
and more contentment in the land;
there would be more independence
and less servility; more men and few
er creatures; more happy wives with
comfortable homes, healthful chill
dren and cheerful tempers. A woman
surrounded by all the active agencies
of a well-kept farm and living in a
beautiful country home with foun-
dations and flowers and sweet ever
green's" has those environments that
develop the sweetest graces and high
est impulses of her nature and make
her virtues shine respondent above
the world of frivolity and fashion. She
becomes a true woman, the happiest
of wives and the best CT mothers.
Such a home and such wife realize
our highest ideals of human happi-
ness. 1t is a home where intelli-
gence reigns and ennobles work and
work crowns intelligence with honor
and profit.
A young man who is in search OF an
easy place, with no responsibility,
will never be a master and will never

IT is hard 10 understand how Mr.. Aids could
have overlooked this mandatory provision Of
bill with which he has supposed himself to he
entirely familiar. But of course, lie must have
overlooked IT. for, though it is execrably
worded, it's meaning is perfectly clear, and
whatever the intention may have been its effect
would be 10 pay yearly out of the public treas
ury to eight newspapers which the Mayor is re-
quired 10 designate IN obedience TO the wishes
of the political organizations the sum of S1G0,
600. Thus the positive assertion of the leader
of the Assembly is conclusively refuted, not by
the Mayor, or the Controller or the public press
but by the authentic language of the bill itself.
Moreover this demonstrated mistake OF ex-
perienccd members of the legislature as to one
important matter inevitably suggests an anxious
doubt as to their knowledge of other provisions
with which they are also well pleased. Several
OF the amendments have impressed nearly

CHILL AND TILE CONGRESS-.

In the tentative list of topics for consideration
at the Pan-American Congress at the City Of
Mexico next October there is scarcely any of
more general interest than that of arbitration,
and not one which. on the face OF the case.
should be more certain of benevolent treat
ment Only two American natOns-namely,
the United States and MeXico-were represented
at The Hague in 1899. and only those two
cordnglv are parties To the General Arbitration
Treaty which was framed by that memorable
congress. 1t will scarcely be questioned that
the other American States are much in need
OF some such system of settling their contro-
versies as are these two and the twenty others
which figured at the House in the Woods. 1t
would he eminently fitting, then, that the con
gress at Mexico should do for the Central and
South American countries what that at The
Hague did for the rest of the civilized world.
The unanimous sentiment of the late congress
at Montevideo at which all South America was
represented, was decidedly in favor of the
adoption of such n system. Yet there was, if
not a Earring note i'm that congress, at least IA
dscordnnt echo outside of it. in a quarter which
is somewhat ominous of lack of agreement at
Mexico.
The Chian representative at Montevideo ap-
proved the scheme of arbitration. But his ap-
proval was promptly repudiated TO a degree,
by his home government Chill does not object
10 arbtrating some of her disputes-for eX-
ample, her boundary dispute with Argentina,
which was some time ago submitted TO British
adjudication. But she does strenuously object to
doing likewise with her boundary dispute with
Peru and Bolivia, although the latter would seem
10 be at least as fitting subject of arbitration
the other, and, indeed. one which Chilli was
actually more bound thus TO dispose of. The
latter fact is made evident by reference TO the
treaty of Ancon. which Chill made with Peru

ment provides:

MHE. HELENE ODILON HERE.
THE GERMAN ACTRESS ARRIVES ON THE
DEUTSCHLAND.

Nine. Helene Odilon. who is to make her first
appearance in America at the Irving Place Theatre
on Monday evening, arrived here yesterday on the
Deutschland. She accompanied by her nus
band, Count Rakovzcy. Nine. Odilon is a favOrite
actress in Germany. and her manager announces
that she is known there the German Sarah
Bernhardt. She is by means the first yet
the second. actress who has come here with exact
ly the same title. and the inference would be that
the stage in Germany is overrun with Sarah Bern
hardts. The title is unfortunate for the
actress because every good tub stands on its own
bottom, and if Nine. OdilOn is worth anything at
all. as she will have opportunity to prove
Monday night, she ought to prefer to be known
the and only Helene Odilon, rather than
the German Sarah Bernhardt or the German Sarah
Siddons the German Sarah Jewett or the German
Sarah Anything-else that is not German at all.
A sketch of Nine. Odilons career has already
been printed in these columns. She will appear on
Monday night in a play written for her, called

and Wednesday evenings. and for the rest of the
