PARTINO. Temple Bar. You saw me safely up the hill, (The day was almost spent.) And there you told me you must go And we jarted, and you wont. But I stood still and watched the woods Glow with the setting sun, And gazed upon the little jwith That you were winding down. AJd there the spire amongst the trees, SStill in the sunlight gleamed, . But I turned down the other side, And oh, how dark it seemed! In dreams, how many times since then I've parted from you so My heart dwells on the hilltop yet, And fta:ses down below. Decoy Baby Cradles. Exchange. ' Three gaudily painted aud improbable looking cradles stood blisteriujr in the sun yesterday afternoon near one of the Jersey City ferries, and were tenderly watched over by a tall man with long hair and odd loots, polished with stove blacking and dotted with red claj The cradles were evidently not strong or large enough to ' hold a healthy baby, and when a young couple came up and gazed intently at them the tall nam talked rapidly aud with great auiinatiou. "Certainly they are not for babies," he said, "aud in order to understand the use to which these cradles are put you must first call to your mind the nature of mus quitoes. and the fact that a great many Ieople object to sleeping under mustjuito netting, because it gives them a feeling of suffocation. "Very welL A gentleman living in New .Jersey that's where I was born and raised) buys one of these cradles, which are very light and easy to carry, lie takes it home, stretches a piece of uiusquito net ting tightly over it. puts it iuto his bed room and goes to sleep. "The niustjuito is fond of baby, and has mi excelsior nature that is, he always tries to do the hardest thing. He imagiues there is a baby in that cradle aud he works hard all night trying to get at it; too busy even to sing. In the morning the man wakes up refreshed, without a pimple on his nose, and finds the musquito panting and exhausted on the window sill. The thing is never known to fail.

Minueajiolis Tribune. We often hear the people complaining of severe w inters and desiring to remove to a warmer clime. Others have vivid dreams of fortunes to be made in such a laud as this. If there le any such among the readers of this let .them heed a few words : of advice. If you are a man of capital aud wish to engage in mining be assured that the mountains here are full of rich deposits of coal, silver, gold ami other minerals, which will bring you still greater wealth; or if you would prefer to be a lord of 1,000 herds, the ranch will be to vou also a source of great pronit. If a mechanic or merchant, you can safely come here when the alove interests demand men in your line, and not In-fore. Are you a farmer with small capital? Then stay where you are, for, lelieve me. one good county in Minnesota is worth all New" Mexico for mixed farming all talk about irrigation to the contrary notwith standing. The only irrigated portions I have seen presented a stunted vegetation compared with that of our state. Then, too, it t-.tkes capital to irrigate successfully. Perhaps you sigh for ranch life. "Would vou be contented to have your ambition limited -to a pair of leather breeches, a slouch hat, a revolver and a saddled mus tang? For without means to invest you could be nothing but a cowboy. To one and all I M ould say," in conclu sion, even were you sure of the greatest material prosperity in coming hire, it would not be worth the greatest sacrifice of those countless associations which you now enjoy and which may not be found here for generations to come. I asked a young man who had been in the country four years if he had seen much improve ment in that line. He replied naively: "Not any to speak of in the country; but it is getting easier to live here now they do not shoot people so often. " The Xejjro' Buzzard Dance." Macon Mesener.l "Would you like to see the buzzard dance?" said Mr. Clay, the gentleman whose lavish hospitality 1 was enjoying. -What is that?" said" I. "Wait a minute, and I'll show you, " he replied. We were seated on the broad veranda of a southern country house, built some fifty years ago. ; In trout of us a row of giant magnolias, large as oaks, seemed in the dim starlitrht freighted with Lalls of ierfumed snow. To our right a vast grove of pines were softly soughing iu the summer breeze, and be yond them the glare of the blazing knots, which lit half a hundred cabins, proclaimed the presence of the "negro quarter. We were on the Huguenin plantation, in Sum ter county, a modest farm of H.tMKJ acres. Kre the minute had elased, Mr. Clay walked to the end of the veranda and gave a whoop which would have invoked the tnvy of a Conimanche Indian aud the prompt attendance of a Macon policeman. An answering shout was heard; and in a few minutes a long line of dusky forms came stealing through the shadows of the pines and ranged them selves in front of where we sat. The song began and the musicians commenced to pat. Suddenly into the center of the open ring leaped the sable dancer who was to jersonate the buzzard. Though danc ing in perfect time to the wild but musical accompaniment, he yet managed to imitate with marvelous exactness every movement of the uncouth bird he had chosen for his model. Its tottering, tip toeing gait was faithfully delineated, as was also its sud den springs from right to left, its timid ap proach, its ravenous peck and sudden re treat from the craved but dreaded carcass, which, in bis homely drama, was repre-M-nted ly a bat that looked indeed like the buzzards had leeu after it. A (ood i:iillnli Idea. Arkansaw Traveler. Prominent newspajters throughout the country are now making sieeiai features of short stories from prominent writers. This is the English idea, but like m my an idc:i which we get from the English, Ls worthy of adoption. Writers of good short stories are not numerous, cither in this country or in England. The production of a. short story requires 'quite us much literary skill as the production of a novel; in fact, more dramatic ability is required, since the incidents of a short story cannot le drawn out, even though the writing be pleasant. The violent political paers are passing away. The public, unless the matter be of great importance, no longer cares to read six or seven columns of political "stuff." Newspapers, as the rapid educators of the hurrying masses, . should contain good literature, even though it were to exclude the history of a bloody crime. No Danser.

AN UNFORTUNATE OLD MAN, Wanting III Photo. Fall Into a Deaf Slate Dentist's Clutclie. Arkansaw Traveler. J A very remarkable case has just come up before an Arkansaw court. In a small town not far from the state capi tal, a photographer and a deaf mute dentist established an office togt!ier, and a short time ago au old fellow from across the bayou entered the pUiee to have his picture taken. The photog rapher was out at the time and the polite dentist, not slow in picking up little jobs of work, met the visitor with a smile. The old fellow, ia his embarrassment, began picking his teeth with his finger nail aud said : "I want a picter tuck, mister." The dentist, understanding the sign to mean severe toothache, conducted the old fellow to the torture engine and eased him back on the cushioned head rest. What followed is thus detailed by the old fellow in his statement be fore the court : "Airter he got me down on the thing that looked likcr seat on a railroad car, he commenced ter fumble aroun over my face. I told him that I wanted the picter ter be good lookin, as I wanted ter -send it to my married darter, an' I thought he was smoothin' out the wrinkles on my fa?e, but when he prized open my mouth an' 'gunter look down my throat, I thought it a mighty strange proceedin", still I didu't say nuthin', as I 'lowed he knowed more 'bout his business than I did. I sorter shivered when he poked a iron thing inter my mouth, bat didn't move, as I 'lowed he done it to make my jaw stick outnachul, but the fust thing I kuowed airter this, he grabbed aholt o' the arnry soun' tooth I had in my head. I struggled an hollered, but it wan't no use, fur he swung himself roun' an' twisted the tooth out. I jumped of en his arrangement when he turned me loose, an' was gitten' outen thar when he grabbed me. 1 fit him, but he still held me. We made sk-h a racket that a feller come up from down stairs, an' when the tooth thief made a lot ter signs an fool motions ter him, he said : ' 'Why don't yer pay him fur pullin yer tooth?' " 'I didn't want no tooth pulled,' s'l. " 'That's a fine way to cheat a man,' says he. 'If he'd a tuck yer picturthen you'der said you wanted a tooth pulled,' an' he cotched mo by the skutf o' the neck an' led me out, and shoved me erlong the street. A whole mob jined in, an' they tuck me ter jail. The mob howled till I thought they was goin' ter hang me. I stayed in jail fur three days, charged with assault an' battery. Now, jedge, that tooth was worth $100 ter me an' I want that town ter pay me for it, an' moreover, I want a little small change fur stayin' in jail." Hebe Turned Into Bullets. . . Charleston (S. C.) News. About thirty years ago Col. W. 13. Johnston built a large cistern on Mul berry street, in "Macon, Ga. The cis tern was ornamented in the center with a fountain consisting of a beautiful life size statue of the charming godde-s Hebe, as she appears in art, a cup bearer, dispensing nectar at tho ban quets of the gods. Hebe was perfect in form and lovely in the graceful manner in which she held the taukard in oae hand and poured the unerasing flow of water into a bowl held in the other hand. On one occasion a serious ob jection was niade to her appearance by an elderly widow from Wilkinson county, who was the guest of Peter J. Williams, the landlord of the old Wash ington hall, which was near the fountain. ."?he asked Mr. Williams what the figure meant. He described it, and was en thusiastic in praising the beauty of Hebe's form and graceful attitude. "That all may be true," replied the widow, "but I object to it because she ought to Lave on some clothes, and I will subscribe $1 to buy eight yards of ca'ieo to have a frock made for her." Several years after, a new council, who seemed to be less aesthetic than their predecessors, was elected, when they passed a resolution ordering Hebe to be removed to a more secluded place. Thus the beaut f al statue of the young goddess w as consigned to darkness in a cellar until during the late war. When lead became scarce it was presented to the Macon arsenal by Mr. Johnston, where it was melted and produced 2,500 pounds of lead, which were moulded into Con federate bullets. ' A Moclety Episode of Leap Year. Washington Cor. Philadelphia Call. Society, as a sort of jest, has decreed that any young man who refuses a leap year proposal from a lady is in honor bound to present her with a silk dress. There are a number of "old maids" in town who have already accumulated enough silk dresses to stock a dry goods warehouse. 15ut that is not what I de sire to say. One day last week a young man in society here paid a visit to a young lady friend. They were not en gaged, but he had given ample evi dence that he would like to be, if he could only muster up sufficient confi dence. He had been fooling along on the outside edges of an engagement for six months or more, and the lady began to grow anxious. It was one of those cases where both parties floundered around in tho sweet meshes of love, without ever coming to an open understanding. On the evening in question the lady, half in jest and wholly in earnest, pro posed to him. He said that s!lks were unusually high-prioed, and that if she would be married at once he would accept. Much to his surprise, she did accept, and the couple visited the par sonage of a neighboring clergyman, where the bride produced the license, showing that her determination was not a sudden freak of fancy, and the pair were made man and wife. Superstition of Science. London Graphic While the old mystical superstitions are dying out, the superstitious of science are beginning to haunt ignorant or half-educated minds with quite as pernicious an effect. People are no longer afraid of bo geys or portents in the sky, but they quake at the mention of miasmas or acids in the system. The man who is too wise to see calamity in an overturned salt, cellar deems it no folly to ascribe gigantic evil;-; to a dish of strawberries or a packet of cigar ettes. ' Only Two Day Warning.

All the rejxirters liked Bishop Simitstm. While I was amassing a large but not mi wieldly fortune on The Peoria Review as a ubiquitous rejiorter, I was assigned by the city editor to do the Central Illinois Metho dist Episcopal conference. I was the city editor and made all the assignments in tho city department- I was also the sole owner and only ubiquitous reporter and took all the assignments which the city editor niad. Eugene Baldwin was editor-in-chief. The staff of The Review was large, but not bulky. I think its aggregate weight, physically, was about 2S0 pounds, of which the editor-in-chief monojiolized 145. Intellectually, it weighed a ton. Mr. Baldwin was also managing editor. There was no business manager. There was one at first, but he never had anything to manage. Yes. he had, too. He used to man age to keep out of sight most effectually on pay-day. After he starved to death we moved the editorial rooms we always called it rooms up to the roof, and left the business office open for the collector of internal rev enue to wait in. There were several hun dred of him, with bills of various amounts, and I have crteu wondered how he amused himself down in the deserted business ofhVe, waiting for somebody to come in to whom he could present his bill. Well, I was speak ing of the Central Illinois conference. Bishop Simpson presided. George Kent was there; he was the city staff of The Transcript. 11 A. Snively w as the city editor and local corps of The National Democrat. We went early, seized a big table belonging to some secre taries, possessed ourselves of. their stationery and things and calmly waited for tho confer enco to confer. First thing after the opening exercises, a good brother arose and called attention to the presence of the reporters "within the bar" and suggested that they be assigned a place with out the sacred precincts. We felt very badly about it as the suggestion win warmly sec onded, but while we were wondering if we could carrv the big table with us, the xSishop looked down upon us kindly an said, ia a soothing way, "Oh, well, brethren, never mind. If the rejiorters can stand it I guess-the breth ren can." We stood it I remember one thing, he said, near the close of the confer ence, in his talk to the class of young mn who stood up to receive his charge." "And," he said, in tho course of his remarks, "I have heard young men in the depth of their hu mility say, 'I am willing to Ihj a jkxi de spised Methodist preacher.' Now, brethren, if you are poor it is your own fault, ami if you are despised it is because you are despic able." And then he talked more common sense to those young men in live minutes than some men are privileged to hear in as many years. That must have been somewhere about '70, I think, '71 maybe. I never saw hint again until I met hiia a year ago, iu Chester, at the commencement of the Military Academy of Pennsylvania. An old man he was thea, full of years and honor, past the allotted span of human life, revered and esteemed by Chris tians of all denominations, a good citizen and a good man, a rare executive, a most ef fective preacher and a comprehensive scholar. All Sort of Flavoring. New York Mail and Express. 'We manufacture most of the flavorings you see here," said a merchant to a reivrtei "Some little is imixirted from Italy, France, and Germany, but the duty is so heavy 2.50 per pound that it docs not l y." "What kind of extracts do you use princi pally, and who buy them.'" "Fruit sij-ups, oils, perfumes, bottlod ex tracts, coloring, and tobacco flavors. They are urjed by confectioners, soda-water I Me tiers, perfumers, druggists, brewers, ami cigar an.tvtobacco manufacturers." "Can you explain the manufacture and use?" "The manufacture is a secret, and it would not do to give it away. They are principally extracts from pure fruit, but in some in stances chemicals are used, but never so as to be injurious. The uses they are applied to are many; all the nice confectionery is fla vored with some fruit sirup, extract of oil of almonds being very iopular, and costing about S12a pint free from prussic acid. You may be surprised to know that as a ride the various brands of tobacco are formed through the use of soiue flavor. See, here we have Havana cigar flavor, Santiago, smoking to bacco flavor, and even cigar coloring. Here are the directions: Dissolve one pint of this flavor in four gallons of water, or in one gal lon of alcohol and three gallons of water. "Are not some of these flavors very expen sive r' "They vary in price from $50 cents Tier pound to $1.5(). Oil of attar of roses is 12 an ounce. Oil of cinnamon, used iu confec tionery, is i'2 an ounce. Root beer, sarsapa rilla, lemon, strawberry, and such like are worth $40 per gallon." A Sea Brake. Inter Ocean. A novel invention, which promises to bo come decidedly popular on the upper lakes, where there is so much fog and collision, has turned up. It consists of an appliance to stop a vessel which is running at full head way. The name given the invention is "sea brake." The steamer Florence is, now using one. On each side of her stern port is hinged a great fin. made of boiler-plate braced with angle iron. The fins aie arranged to fit in the rim of the vessel, where they are secured by simple catches, which are controlled through lines leading from the pilot-house. When these lir.s are closed they press against springs, so that when the catches are released the tins are thrown out from the side of the ship and are caught by the water. If the vessel is under headway they are instantly thrown out until they stand at right angles with the keel. As they assume this position they bring up against powerful springs. The effect of opjiosiiig thi3 170 square feet of boiler iron to the for ward progress of the Florence was tested last Tuesday. She was under a full head of steam, making, iierliaris, fifteen miles an hour. . A schooner ahead of her came up sud denly, and was standing across the Florence's bow. Capt. Simmons yelled to the pilot to let out tho brake, and the Florence slopped within her own length. Either brake can lie used separately, and thus throw the vessel in any directum quicker than if the rudder were relied iiKii alone. How He Suicided. Chicago Times.

The experience in the treatment of Cancer with Swift'i SnM-.iHn i si S St I would seem to warrant us in Bavin that it nill euro this much dreaded scourge. Persons so afflicted are invited to correspond with us. I believe Swift's Specific has saved roy life. I had vir tually lost use cf the upper part of my body and ruy arms from the poisonous eilects ot a large cancer on neck, and from which I had suffered for twenty years. S. S. H. has relieved me of all soreness, and the poison U being forced out of my system, i will soon be well. V. K. Kobison, Davisooro, Ga Two month at?o my attention was called to the casr of a woman afflicted with a cancer on her shoulder at leant ttve lucues in circumference, angry, paiDful, and piving the patient no rest day or night f r six months. I obtained a supply of Swift s Specino for her. She ha t iken S bottles and the ulcer ia entirely healed op, only a very small scab remaining, and her health is better than for 6 years past; seems to be perfectly cured. Kev. Jehsk H. Campbell, Columbus, Ga. I have setn remarkable results from use of Swift'i Specitic on a cancer. A young man here has ba-u afflicted five years with tho most angry-looking eating cancer I ever saw, and was nearly dead. The first bot tle made a wonderf ul change, and after five bottles wer Ukeu, he is nearly or quite well. It is truly wonderful. M. V. Crumlrv, M. V., Oglethorpe, Ua.
