The young lawyer wuh determined
that if vigilahce cm id aeeonipihb any­
thing the i ik-ie shculd ba decided in fa­
vor cf bis o ieut. and so when the care­
ful old man went npou the stand for the
defe se the attorney le.uni foiward,
prepared to fight every in- h of the way.
"Mr. Johnson, ihe plaintiff,” said
the car fui old man, "said that if I
w n il buy tb louse he would gel Mr.
Gim.sou to relinquish his lease. He
s..i I he thought Mr. Gimpsou would
agree t > go. I tuo-s”—
“ Never miud what yen guess. We
don't want any heuraay or guessing.
Your Louer [to the court J. I object to
I.us witness' t stimouv. Ho is guessing
tit what he say». We w ent fncts. ”
“ i x nso me,” said the old man. "1
was about to s.iy I guess at nothing and
insisted < u the understanding being es­
tablished iu my presence So the two
men tot together, with me ou hand, to
lisnu to whut they said. I uuder-
staod '—
“ Oujected to us incompetent. Your
honor, we don’t want to know what
this t r a i l understands was erne. Wo
want w hat bo knows was done. Wo
want” —
“ O~e moment,” said llie careful old
man. “ I was about to say that 1 under-
■land ordinary convcrsati« u with some
difficulty, and so that there might l-o
no error I insisted that they yell cut
their propositions iu loud trues, which
they did until you could hear th nt iu
the middle of tho town. I am inform­
ed”—
'•Your honor,” cried the young attor­
ney, "is nor time Io bn taken up lisicn-
lng to hearsay evidei co? He docs not
know He was informed that aucb and
such was so and so. Whet we mint
have is what he krows about tho trade
nu.l whether cr not he"—
"I urn i.iforinidru real estat'1 values,
having been n re..l estate agent all my
life," the eld m..n said, "und I knew
wh it the worth of that leu-o was Io the

“ Objected to os a couelu- ion oud as

wl ut a man bclicvis, hut whut bo is

mo in saying that we d -u’t want to

the young lawjcr looked ccnfiucntly at
the justice.

Kalamazoo celery is so well known iu
every part of this couutry that the uamo
is used Icr ell tho letter kinds of cel­
ery, and, liLe Elne Point oysters and
Littlo Neck clams, the guarantee con­
tained iu the name sells the article to
the rxclu'ion of o:her brands. The ex-
i dienes of this cch ry is said to be duo
t three things—good seed, dark, heavy
t ¡1 and eaie tu growing and bhaching
it. Caretnl packing might be added.

The celery mcadort» ara just outside
of the town ct Kal-an uzoo, uonh and
south ef tbo city, and »urroni ded hy
bills, divided crosswise by a high ridge,
o:t which tho houe.'s are built Tho
meadows aro about three miles long
and a mile wide. These bottom lanes
are not common farm ug lands, but aro
composed of n peculiar form of black
made, the result of vepciuble decompo­
sition, and formerly tiny were eo rich
that no fer.ilizers were need-d Not
more tbau u dozen ye: rs a-o very littlo
celery was raised on th(»o n endows
and none ler »b’rmeut to o’litr mar­
kets Joseph Dutkly, the florist, was
one of tho pioneers iu the industry, rec­
ognising the peculiar value of the
uinck soil for orlery. He owued one of
th ■ earliest celery farms, and if is re­
potted that he umassed a fortune from
the business before it was injured by
competition.
In recent years the output has been
so enormous that prices have dropped
front 30 rents to 10 cents per cozen,
mil many growers have been complain­
ing Tho seasons of 1803-3 were cum-
puratively poor ones, and a number rf
the growers left t'toir farms to engage
in the s n business in tho suburbs of
N'-w York, but they siou returned io
the.r hometown. Tho growersura near­
ly all Hollanc.ors, and thpy live ia
dwellings on their small- -hcldingv,
which generally oonsi-it of from five ta
ten acres. Tuey are a frugal, indnatrioua
race, uud they adopt the most advutic.d
system cf intensive farming. Five acres
here easily support nu ordinary Holland
family, and there is no doubt hut tho
heu-l of it, saves money.
The city t f Kalann-zeo is ouo cf tho
pren,icrt in the country, nnd it owe9
not a little rf this t i the indoatry of
the rclcrv growers. The nmoent <f cel­
