"Shol you don't say so," said the groceryman, as he threw a rotten pota to into a basket of good ones that were going to the Orphan saylum. ."Well, she showed sense. You would have blown her up, or broken her neck, or something. But don't feel badjyou will find snothergirl that will discount her, and you will forget all about this one." "Neverl" said the boy, as he nibbled at a piece of codfish that he had picked off. "I shall never allow my affections to become entwined about another piece of calico. It unmans me. Hence forth I am a hater of the whole girl race. From this out I shall harbor revenge in my heart, and no girl can cross my path and live. I want to grow up to be a school ma'am, or a be miller, or something, where I can grind girls into dust, and make them sue for mercy. Oh, you don't know anything about the woe there is in this world. You never loved many people, did you?" The groceryman admitted that he had never loved very hard, but he knew a little about it from an aunt of his, who got mashed on a Chicago drummer. "But your father must bo having a rest while your mind is occupied with your love affair," said he. "Yes," says the boy, with a vacant look, "I take no interest in the pleas ures of the chase any more, though I did have a little quiet fun at the break fast tble this morning. You see, pa is the contrariest man that ever was. If I complain that anything at the ta ble don't taste good, pa says it is all right. This morning I took the syrup pitcher and emptied out the white syrup and put in eomo cod-livur oil that ma is taking for her cough. I put some on my pancakes and pretended to taste of it. I told pa the syrup was sour and not fit to eat. Pa was mad in a second, and he poured out some on liis'pancakes and said I was getting too counfouiuled particular. He said the syrup was good enough for him, and he topped his pancake in it and fired some down his neck. "He is a gol darned hypocrite, that's what he is. I could see by his face that the cod-liver oil was nearly killing him, but he said the syrup was all light, and if I did not eat mine he would break my back, and by gosh I had to eat it; and pa said he guessed he hadn't got much appetite, and he would just drink a cup of coffee and eat a doughnut. I liked to died; and that is (one thing I think that makes this disappointment in love harder to Kear. But I felt sorry for ma. Ma ain't got a terystroh stutuiiiick; and when she got some of that cod-liver oil in hpr mouth she went right up stairs, sicker 'n a horse, and pa had to help her, and she had neuralgia all the morning. "I ate pickles to take the taste out of my mouth, and then I laid for the girls. They ate too much syrup, any way, and when they got on to that cod liver oil, and swallowed a lot of it, one of them, an Irish girl, she got up from the table and put her hand on her side, and satd, 'Holy Jaysus,' and went out into the kitchen as pale as ma is when she'has powder on her face, and the other girl, who is Dutch, she swal lowpd a pancake, and said 'Mind Cott, vats the matter mit me!' and she went out and leaned on the coal bin. They talked Irish and Dutch, and got clubs and started to look for me. I thought I would come over here. "The whole family is sick, but it is not from love, like my illness, and they will get over it, while I shall fill an early grave, but not till I have made that girl and telegraph company wish they were dead. Pa and I are going to Chicago next week, and I bet we will have some fun. Pa says I need a change of air, and I think he is going to trv to lose me. It's a dark day when I get left anywhere that I can't find ray way back. Well, goodbye, old rotten potatoes' "Peck's Sun." If Adam had been out hoeing weeds in the garden, as a good husband ought, on the day of Eve's tetea-teto with Satan, Madam Eve would have done the great fall act alone, and mankind, would have gone down through suc cessive posterity a shining" example of monumental virtue. METALS. 3sr Notwithstanding the wonderful prog ress that has beenSmade during the last half century in) regard to the con stitution and workings of the useful metals, there is yet' a vast deal to be learned. The metals, when pure, are commonly supposed to be simple ele ments, yet there are some reasons for supposing that it nJay yet be proven that at least some of ithera are com pounds. Evemthe grtStVFaraday. gave ntterano to Hie UlS'Ck Kn.i dreivm of the alchemists might yetbe realized that gold and other rcieta's might be found to be compounds, and that means be devised whercbv these compounds be separated, and afterwards so differ ently reliuited that the baser metals might be converted into precious. The changes which are wrought in iron and steel by converting, annealing and hardening processes are far from being understood by the most advanced metallurgists of the present day. The mysteries of hydrogen gas and its inti mate relations with iron are as much of a puzzel as" they were fifty years ago, and the theory advanced by Graham, that hydrogen itself is a metal, is still maintained by many chemists. It is only a few years since absolute ly pure iron became known to scien tists, and it is now shown to be a met al almost as "unstable as water," and still fouud in the laboratory as a great curiosity. What had previously been known as pure iron was shown by Ja cnbi to be a compound of iron and hy drogen. He first separated the so-called elements. During the process the iron increased in volume, changing from dark to a silver white substance, very ductile, and so soft as to be nearly as readily cut as lead. The experiment proved that hydrogen played an im portant part in hardening and temper ing steel as much as carbon but how or why none know to this day. Mut-h more difficulty is founJ in rolling and otherwise manipulating gold in a factory where much electricity is generated by the action cf the ma chinery, than in a room where no ma chinery is in operation, and where con sequently, friclional electricity is ab sent. The trouble is manifested in a disposition of the edges of the plates of thin bars to crack. Many other peculiarities, already known, might be mentioned, and there is no doubt that closer observation will still largely increase the number of curious and yet enexplicable phenome na connected with the working and general characteristics of the metals, both useful and precicus. "Mining and Scientific Press." Ldlilng X l'npcr. Editing a paper is a pleasant busi ness if you like it. If it contains much political matter people won't have it. If the type is large it don't contain mu:h reaJing matter. If we publish telegraph reports, folks say they are nothing but lies. If we omit them they say we have no enterprise, or suppress them for po litical effect. If we have a few jokes, folks say we aro nothing but rattleheads. If we omit jokes, folks say we are nothing hut old fossils. If we publish original matter, they damn us for not giving elections. If we cive selections, people say we are lazy' for not writing more and giving them what they have not read in some other paper. If we give a complimentary notice, we are censured for being partial. If we don't, all hands say we are a great hog. If we insert an article .which pleases the ladies, the men become jealous, and vice versa. If we attend church, they say it is for effect. If we remain in our office, attending to our own business, folks say we are too proud to mingle with our fellows. If we go out, they Bay we don't at tend to our business. If we don't pay up promptly, they say we are not to be trusted. If we pay up promptly they say we stole the money. "Hobart Journal." as . A yoting lady made a narrow escape at a fire in New York a few nights since.- About half of her back hair was burned- Fortunately she was not in the building at the time, having put on her other hair and left the house only half an hour before the fire broke out HOVf A MAN IV ALUS. One of the most remarkable things about a man's walk is the diagonal movement which characterizes it. The reader may imagine the hands and feet to form the four corners of a par allelogram, and the diagonal limbs are, of course, the right arm and left leg, the left arm and right leg. By diagonal movement we therefore, intend to con vey the fact the diagonal limbs during parail his arms motionless by his sides, and on no account must they be allowed to vibrate. This is not what he would naturally do if left to himself. Watch any one person out of the hundreds walking along the streets, ana it will be seen that he invariably swings his arms as he goes along, perhaps to an extreme degree if he be a rustic, and less so if townbred. The arms swing by the body like a couple of pendula, and with a speed which entirely de pends upon the rate at which he may be walking. The athletej anxious to complete the given number of "laps" in a mile, or couple ot miles, and out strip his competitors, swings his arms to and fro with a quickness which cor responds with the motion of his swift feet; the business man also swings his arms with a motion which, if not so quick, exactly times with the motion of his leg; and even the idle man about town, lounging along some fashionable quarter, unconsciously gives a slow motion to his arms which corresponds to his tardy legs. Now, if the motion be even carelessly observed, it will be found that the right arm swings for ward at the same time as the left leg, and when the right leg is advancing it is the left arm which accompanies it. This is the natural gait, and to con vince one's self that it is so, it is only requisite to get a friend to walk across the room in the opposite fashion, i. e. to awing llo rSgKi srm forwanl -when stepping out with the right leg, and then, in the s.inio manner, when bring ing forward the left leg to accompany it with the left arm. Such a gait is both unnatural and uncomfortable to the person who tries it, and also ludi crous to the observer who watches the first attempt of the kind. The diagonal increment of the limbs is the natural method adoptpd by man when walking, and it is the first and most apparent fact that one ascertains in studying human locomotion. Railroad Business. There are nov 115,000 miles of railway in tho United States, which, reduced to fair values and excluding "watered stocks" have cost, with ths equipment, more than 5,000,000,000. This sum is more than one-tenth of tho valuo of the whole property of the people of the United States, including private lands, and more than one fifth of the whole capital which the products of labor have placed upon the land. In 18S1 ihe railroads employed in operating the roads and in construction 1,C00,C00 persons, equal to a seventh part of the male adult population of the United States. In the same year they paid out $150,000,000 fcr wages and material. These figures show the very great im portance of railway property in this country, and the Vast demand for labor which its service creates. In 1881 the railroads of the United States moved 350,000,000 tons of freight. Of this tonage more than nine-tenths was made up of food, fuel, and materials for shelter, commodities in which the work ing people using that term to distin guish the great body of tho people from capitalists, as a clifss have a common and equal interest as con sumers. Union, Walla Walla: Arrangements are now being made between the offi cials of the Catholic church and Sister Superior of St. Mary's hospital in this city, for the transfer of their present brick hospital to the church, the build ing to be used as an Academy, and in .return the church will aid the Sisters in building a much larger and more convenient hospital, the present one being altogether too small. Probably the only man in the Uni ted States who has used greenbacks for gun-wadding is J. L. Shirley, of Dallas county, Texas. He went hunting with S300 in currency in his pockety and used paper for wadding. He was loading from the wrong pocket, how ever, and had shot an ay over SCO of his money before he discovered his mistake. the rii:-LjHTir. Lr. The amendment repealine the pre emption laws is in the interest of actual settlers as against land sharks and reads as follort": And provided, further, that any person who has heretofore made, or may hereafter make, or procure an entry of public lands under the home stead laws, shall havo the privilege of paying the maximum price for tho quantity of land so entered, at any time'1b'eforo tho expiration of five years' from date of entry and after actual residence, improvement and cultivation have been maintained for a period of not less than two and a half years after the entry; and it shall be the duty of tho Commissioner of the General Land Office to require evidence actual compliance with tho requirements of the law in report of the settlement, residenceimprovement and cultivation, in all cases in which title now is, or may be heareafter claimed under the homestead, or other settlement or im provement laws of the United States; and provided, further, that any person applying for benefits of the timber cul ture laws, shall make his entry in person to the proper local land nflicp, and shall make affidavit that he is an actual resident of the county State or Territory in which tho land is situated, and that he has not entered into any contract or agreement to relinquish the entry he may make, and that he has no present or prospective purpose of making any such relinquishment, and the offering for sale, as a matter of traffic and speculation. The relin quishment of entries made under the provisions of the timber and culture law, shall be deemed prima facie, ev. dence that such entries are made for speculative purposes, and not in good faith, as required by the law, and such entries shall thereupon bo liable to cancellation by the commissioner of covered thereby shall be deemed sub ject to entry by the first legal ap plicant; and the first section of tho act of May 14, 1880, authorizing the lands covered by a relinquished claim to be held as open to settlement and entry without action by the Commissioner of tho General Land Office, and all other acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith, are hereby repealed; and provided further, that when timber culture entry shall onco have been Lmade in a tract of public land subject to such entry, and the same shall no canceled or, relinquished, tho land covered thereby shall thereafter be subject to entry under the timber cul ture laws, and no patent bp issued for such land until the requirements of such laws shall have been fully com plied with. A Cure fur Rlarkleg. Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. 13, 18S3. Editor Willamette Farmer: That fatal and incurable malady among cattle known as "blackleg" is causing uneasiness on the part of stock men in the "cow country." Tho best known treatment proves abortive in every case, the disease is so rapidly fatal in its results. Where stock re ceives the close attention commonly bestowed in the East, itmay be possible to treat with medicine and prevent its spread. With our herds such treat ment is not practicable. Bleeding has proved to be an effective prevention, and one which we can employ. Beforo a calf shows any outward signs of the "blackleg," the blood in its veins be comes thick and black and finally ceases to circulate iri the extremetier. Bleeding any time, before circulation stops in the feet and legs, will prevent attack. If the blood of the animal is found to be black and thick a large quantity of blood should be taken; if thin and light colored, less will be suf ficient. It is most convenient to bleed in tho neck by buckling a strap tight around it, and opening a vein which will swell above. None but small ani mals need to be treated. The labor is not much more than branding. Three men can bleed twenty in one hour if accustomed to handling cattle. It is a positive remedy. Out of 100 calves, 95 were bled and five were not. The whole lot was turned out on infected rangef, all of tho five and only the Gvo died. I. N. Hibbs.

As civilization advances the intelli gences of tho farmer increases. Pass over the entire, world to-day and just in proportion as farms aro well culti vated, houses and gardens, adorned and beautified, otht-r things being equal, intelligence prevails, good schools are appreciated, newspapers abound, and re fined and ennobling ncial enjoyments take the place of whittilhej smoking( dram-drinking and gossip, and the corner saloon omstorniy days or long winter evenings. It is so in our laud from east to west, from north to vsouth. Intelli gence shows in improved horses, cows, sheep, hogs, poultry in well cultivated fields, convenient houses tastily painted, in modern or at least well kept barns and yards; in tho care of manure, in attention to good seed, in securing good markets for products, without tho meanness of bantering in the pur chase of goods nt reasonable" prices, in convenience with the house, so that the greatest amount of labor can be performed with the least possible, ex penditure of strength whether of tha family or domestic. And also in a good, well kept kitchen and flower gar den. In fine, intelligence shows every where, even to a passer by. The way. farer can tell whero intelligence reigns without seeing a member oi the fami. ly or entering the house. We say oth er things being equal. Many an in telligent farmer is fighting against odds. Circumstances over whicn he had no control to compel him to strug gle for his bread. Every muscle has to be exerted and all his intelligence applied to tho necessities of life. And yet his intelligence will crop out in many ways to make his humble abode different form the ignorant growers of one or two kinds of produce, and who know nothing more. Education, mental strength, and any other department of human labor. This is beginning to be realized. Tho time has been when Hiram was too smart a boy to stay on the farm, ho must go to school, study law, medicirio or bo a preacher. Joe is only fit for the farm. Keep him at it. The time is at hand, whePj if wo have a dull lazy boy, who can never tell a robin from a lark, that wo will send him off to school to make a doctor or a lawyer, and educate, tho smart, active observing boy anil make him the farmer. Almost any fool, byjiavinsr. only one idea tograppel with can under a good tutor becomo a respectable amanuensis, copy forms, draw up deeds, and make A kind of a lawyer, or be able, if he pursues the studies mero machine work, prcscribo reme dies according to the books, but only the clear headed boy with sound judg ment, quick perception?, firm resolve and indomitable will and industry can make anything moro than a mere laborer a hewer of wood and a draw er of water for tho man of brains and culture. Tho cream comes to the top however. Failures are however. But there are twenty failures to secure a living off the farm where one intelli gent farmer fails of a good living and of leaving something to his children. Agricultural colleges and agricultu ral papers aro working slowly, steadily, surely a revolutionthrough thecountry. They exalt that which of all humsri callings most deserve examiation agriculture, the foundation of nature's integrity and strength. A business that calls into requisition more varied talents and qualifications than any other known among men. No human or divino knowledge is wasted when employed on the farm. If means allqw and taste impels, he can make his farm tha theatre of all that is grand, the center of all that is refined, the place where the few who ascend tho topmost rounds of fame in other pro fessions will delight to resort. Such is the coming farmer. The field is open to alf. "Practical Farmer." The "Sun" describes the trial of the new postal telegraph company's wires for Cleveland on the 2d, as successful in sending 3,000 words in rf minute. A dispatch of that lengh is cut up in to seven parts, or takes, as copy is given out to printers.. These aro trans ferred by seven operators to cylinders, which aresetstimultaneous in motion, and transmit the message ever th,e wire. The company claims it can send eigk and receive eightdispatchesat thesamtr time, over the same wire.
