way who owns an automobile, and he was almost daily accompanied by Miss Petit as he scorched over and around the hills with his horseless vehicle
 But, one day last October Miss Petit had her jealousy aroused when she learned that her admirer of fourteen years was dividing his attention with younger woman of more comedy pres ence. She promptly sought out MT. Tittemore and called him to account.
 MT. Tttemore soon after allowed tt to be understood that the friend ship between himself and Miss Petit had become strained and that he pro- posed to have her vacate his cottage. lhe initiatory measure instituted by him was to demand rent for the nine years she had occupied his cottage With flashing eyes and flushed cheeks she informed Landlord Titte- more that she had counter claims that would more than offset his unjust and exorbitant claim. "He smiled derisive- ly, but that did not help his case. Then he sought the medium of the Law, but be gained no consolation through that contention agency.
 It appears that Miss Petit had, through all the long years of court ship, faithfully kept 8 full and complete record of the kisses she had bestowe on her fiance, as we'll as of the Sunday ] dinners he had eaten in her house.
 Considering herself injured to the extent of $5,ooo, Miss Petit then in- stituted an action for breach of prom ise, but, while the jurynfen rendered a verdict in her favor, they reduced the figures to $3,Ooo.
 When the plaintiff took the witness stand she produced the diary record, which she frequently referred to and quoted from in answering interroga- tories of counsel.
 q always keep record of every thing she said. And then, you know, always know what I am talk ing about"
 Miss Petit, referring to her data, found that MT. Tittemore had kissed her on 1,236 occasions during the four teen years of their courtship.
 The jurymen did not consume much time in finding judgment favorable to Miss Petit, and it was shock to MT. >Tittemore, who never dreamed of being defeated in "the kissing case"
 MT. Tittemore's counsel Lawyer Sanders of Amsterdam, has carried the case up to the appellate division of the supreme court, where it will be argued in September next.
 What effect the 1,236 kisses will have upon the justices of the higher court remains to be seen. But autumn is not so far away.

THH DASH INTO THE SMOKING CRATER. filled the hollow tube with cotton sat urated with turpentine. The missile rifle cartridge with it's shell. This was fired from a smoothbore musket into the roller. Several times the rollers took fire, and the flames were extin- Guighed One night the principal roller nearest Fort Hiil was entirely de sstroyed. This stopped work in that trench, and the besiegers began anoth- ar farther back, soaking the roller with water.
 Finding it impossible to check the steady and ceaseless advance of the foe above ground, the Louisianians who occupied Fort Hill began to coun- Hermine with the hope of blowing up the Federal trench diggers. This work was slower than the trench digging of the FederaIs, for the counterminers had to sink vertical shaft to great depth and then tunnel forward under meath the enemy. This expedient ulti- mately saved the fort from destruction, Out did not prevent the explosion of June 25.
 The next step of the Federals after reaching the outer ditch of Fort Hill with their trench was to burrow down under the parapet and lay the powder mine. The Confederate counterminers were already at work under the fort, but the opposing gangs of laborers did mot detect the presence of each other. The deep mining of the Federals was done by experts, and at the end of three days they had eighty feet of gal lery completed under the parapet and filled with 2,2O0 pounds of powder.
 Although fully apprised of the dan ger. the Confederates were unable to stop the enemy's work. Their big guns bearing on the ground in front had been siienced, and they could not sally tout to attack the Federals without coming under the awful fire of mus Retry and artillery poured upon them dayaand night. A feeble attempt to im- pede the miners was made by. throwing hand grsnades and shells over the para pet into the trench aY | mouth of the shaft. In order to save the lives of the I.ouisianians stationed in the doomed work all but mere handful were drawn back to second line of works hu1lf ia rear CT the fort.

waka's wealthiest merchant, startled the city with an order to his employees that all tobacco and cigars in his big store must be burned. The stock was the largest, carried by any local estab- hshement, but the owner would neither sell nor give it away.
 MT. Holister avows that spirit mes sages impelled him to destroy the stock, besides informing him that no person using or selling tobacco can ob- tain salvation He himself used it antil a few days ago. The tidings came to HolIster at the same time that his wife was cured at a religious camp meeting. She was at the point of death from consumption, but arose suddenly after local and Chicago specialists had pronounced her case hopeless, and walked from the tent, and seems now to be strong and healthy woman. She attributesher cure to supernatur- al force.

Three more crOSSpieces OF, say, H. by

the crosSpieceS extend nine inches on

cid crosscut saw or any piece Of thin
steel that may be found available make
two blades which bolt on the frame as
Illustrated. Have the blades ground
sharp on their outer edges and let them
project one and half or two inches
from the boards. Draw it by an iron
ball or chain, to which attach sin

handle may be put on at the rear to
lift the contrivance about with If it Is
thought necessary. Make the frame
wide enough to cut two rows.
For hauling the husked fodder to the
stack or shed there are several good
homemade racks in use for sled and
wagon. and us rule every farmer has
his own way for handling the fodder
with the least work. For ourselves we
consider the low wheeled and broad

A Tennessee Idea.

Last week the Tennessee Senate
adopted a resolution which will not
be regarded with excessive gratifca-
ton by Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Parker, Mr..
Cleveland, Mr.. Olney and other
Northern Democrats who aspire to
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency. The resolution is to the
effect that the Tennessee delegation
to the next Democratic National
Convention should be instructed to
urge the nomination of a Southerner
for President. Many of the Dem
ocrats from that section, who have
given to the party most of their
strength in Congress and the electo-
raj colleges, to say nothing of such
craftsmanship as the organization
has possessed, have become weary of
the industry of hewing wood and
drawing water for the Northern De-
mocracy, without reward for the
labor, so far as being put in position
to hope for national prominence is
concerned. They have done this
steadily since the war, until the arro-
giant Northern faction of the party
has come to demand the service as
it's right. 1t is not surprising that
the Southerner begins to revolt. The
wonder is that they have endured
the involuntary serviture so long
without attempting to throw off
the yoke. The progress of this
Tennessee idea" through the Solid
South will be watched with interest.
