The officers of Her Majesty's IVenty Foarth and Eighty-Fourth Infantry were Hitting around their mess table, in Cas tletown, the capital of the Isle of Man, one evening more than thirty years ago that is, all of them except one; but then, that was only Jones. Nobody minded Jones; even his peculiarities had begun to be an old subject for "chaffing. and. indeed, he had taid fl-ilMi small fitfantM l(nl.nffiji that they had come to find it little pleas tire, and, after some weeks of discomfort. Lieutenant Jones had been allowed to choose his own pleasures without much interference. These were not extravagant. A favor ate book, a long walk in all kinds of weather, and a sail when the weather was favorable. He would not drink he aid it hurt his health; he would not snoot he said it hurt his conscience; ana lie did not care to flirt or visit the belles of the capital he said it hurt his Sections, once Captain JJe Keuzy li ingly wondered whether it was possible to "hurt his honor," and Jones calmly answered that "it was not possible for Captain De Reuzy to do so. Indeed, Jones constantly violated all these gentlemen's ideas of proper be havior, but, for some reason or other, bo one brought him to account for it. It was easier to shrug their shoulders and call him "queer," or say, "it was only J ones," or even to quietl assert his cow ardice. One evening, Colonel Underwood was discussing a hunting party for the next day. Jones walked into the room, and was immediately accosted: "Something new, lieutenant. I find there are plenty of hare on the Island and we mean, to give puss a run to-mor row, i nave heard you are a good ruler will von imn na ? '- "You must excuse me, Colonel; such a thing is neither in tha way of duty, nor my pleasure. "You forget the honor the Colonel does yon, Jones," said young Ensign Powell. "I thank the Colonel for his courtesy, but I can see no good reason for accept ing it. I am sure my horse will not ap prove of it; and I am sure the hare will not like it; and I am not a good rider, .therefore I should not enjoy it. "You need not be afraid." said the Colonel, rather sneeringly; "the country is quite open, and these low Manx walls are easily taken. "Excuse me, Colonel. I am afraid. If I should be hurt, it would cause my mother and sisters very great alarm and anxiety, l am much afraid of doing tillS. r . . . . ; What was to be done with a man so obtuse regarding conventionalities, and ; who boldly asserted his cowardice? The Colonel turned away, half contemptu ously, and Ensign Powell took Jones place. , The morning proved to be a very bad one, with the prospect of a rising storm; and, aa the party gathered in the bar rack yard, Jones said errne6tly to his "Tam afraid, sir, you will meet with a severe storm. "I think so, Lieutenant; but we prom ised to dine at Gwynne Hall, and we shall get that far. at any rate. So they rode rather gloomily away in the rain. Jones attended to the military duties assigned him, and then, about noon, walked seaward. It was hard work by this time to keep his footing on tbe narrow quay; out, snuci me Diinurag npray and mist, he saw quite a crowd of men going rapidly toward the great shelving Bearlet Itocks, a mile beyod the town. He stopped an old sailor, and " Is anything wrong? "A little steamer, sir, off the Calf of Man. She is driving tl.ia way, an in deed I fear she will be ta rocks afore ta niffhL" . Jones stood still a moment, and then followed the crowd as fast as the storm would let him. When he joined them (Ley were gattu red on the summit of a huge cliff, watching the doomed craft. tihe was now within sight, and it was evident that her seamen had almost lost all control of her.- She must, ere long, lie flung by the wares upon the jagged rocks toward which she was driving. In i he lulls of the wind, not only the boom- lag of the minute guns, but also tiie r houta of the imperiled crew, could be Leard. ' - " What ean be done ? " said Jones to an old man, whose face betrayed the strongest emotion. " " Kothing, sir, I am afrajd. If she'd managed to rount ta rocks, she would fcave gone to pieces on ta sand, and there re plenty of men who would have risked life to save life. But how aro we to reach Ciera from this height ? " " How far are we above water ? " This rock goes down like a wall forty fiithoms, sir." What depth of water ftt the foot ? " Thirty feet or more," " Good. Have you plenty of Jight Ftrong rope ? " "Much as you want, sir. But let me tll yon, sir,, you can't live three .min utes down there; ta first wave will dash you on to ta rocks, and dash you to Siecea. Plenty of us would put you own, sir, bat you can't swim if you do get down." ' Do you kriow, old man, what surf swimming is ? I have dived through the turf at Nukuheva." " God bless you, air, I thought no ft-hite man eould do the same." While this conversation was going on Jones was divesting himself of all super fluous clothing, and cutting 1 out the sleeves of his heavy pea-jacket with his pocket-knife. This done, he passed soma light strong rope through them. Tha men watched hint with eager interest, and, seeing their inquisitive looks, he said: " The thick sleeves will prevent the rope cutting my. body." " Ay, ay, sir. I see now what you ara doing." . " Now, men, I have only one request; give me plenty of rope as fat as I draw on joiu When I get on board, you k now how to make a cradle, I suppose T " " Ay. ay, sir. But how are you going 'to reach the water?" . ' "Iam going to plnage down, I have cived from the moinyard of the A fax V-efore this. It was as high a leap." . He passed a double coil of the rope round his waist, examined it thoroughly to see that there was plenty to start with, and saying, " Kow, friends, stand out of mtlie. ffw, and let me hare a clear start," Le raiseJL. his bare head one moment toward heaven, and, taking a short run, leaped, as if from the springboard of a ' plunge Data. Such an anxious crowd as followed that leapt Great numbers, in spite of the dangerous wind, lay flat on their breast and watched him. He struck tha water at least twenty-five feet beyond tha cliff, and disappt ared in its dark, foamy depth. When he rose to the surface ha saw just before him a gigantic wave, but he had time to breathe, and before it reached him he dived below its center. It broke in passionate fury upon the locks, but Jones was far beyond it, A tniybty cheer from the men on shore reached him, and he -now began in good earnest to put his Pacific experience into practice. Drawinc eontmuallv on the men for more rope which they paid out with deafening cheers lie met wave after wave in the same manner, diving under them like an otter, and getting nearer the wreck with every wave, realty advanc ing, however, more below tha water than above it. . - Suddenly the despairing men on board heard a clear, hopeful voice: " Help at hand, Captain! Throw me a htirtv." And in another minute or two Jones was on deck, and the cheers of the little steamer were echoed by the cheers of the crowd on land. There was not a moment to be lost; she was breaking up fast; but it took but a few moments to fasten a cable to the small rope and draw it on board, and then a second cable, and the cammunication was complete. There is a lady here, sir,' saia tne Captain, "we must rig a chair for her; Bhe can never walk that dangerous rope." ' But we have not a moment to waste, or we may all be lost, is sue very heavy? A slight little thing; nan a cnua, sir." " Bring her here." This was no time for ceremony; with out a word, save a few sentences of direc tion and encouragement, he took her under his left arm. and, steadying him self by the Upper cable, walked on tne lower with his burden sateiy on snore. The crew rapidly followed, for in such moments of extremity the soul masters the body and all things become possible. There was plenty of help waiting for the half -dead seamen; and the lady, her father, and the Captain had been put in the carriage of Braddon and driven rap idly to his hospitable hall. Jones, amid the -confusion, disappeared; he had picked up an oil-skin coat and cap, and when every one turned to thank their deliverer h was gone. ' No one knew him; the sailors said they believed him to be "one of the military gents by his riKcring." but the individuality of the hero had troubled no one until the dan ger was over. In an hour the steamer was driven on the rocks and went to pieces; and, it being now quite dark, every one went home. The next day the hunting party re turned from Gwynne Hail, the storm havintr compelled them to stop all night and at dinner that evening the wreck and the hero of it were the theme of every one's conversation. "Such a plucky fellow," said Ensign Powell. "I wonder who he was? Gwynuo says ha was a stranger, perhaps one of the crowd staying at the Abbey." " Perhaps." says Captain Marks, "it was Jones." " Oh, Jones would be too afraid of his mother." Jones made a little satirical bow, and said, pleasantly: " Perhaps it was Pow ell; at which Powell laughed and said, " Not if he knew it. ' ' In a week the event had been pretty well exhausted; especially as there was to be a great dinner and ball at .Braddon and all the officers had invitations. This ball had a peculiar interest, for the vounor lady who had been saved from the wreck would be present, and rumors of her riches and beauty had been rife for several days. It was said the little steamer was her father's private yacht, and that he was a man of rank and in fluence, Jones said he should not go to the din ner. as either ha or isavuja mnot remain for evening drill, and that Savijlp loved a good dinner, while he cared very utue about it. Saville could return in time to let him ride over about 10 o'clock and see the dancing. Saville rather won dered why Jones did not take his place all the evening, and felt half injured at his default. But Jones had a curiosity about the girl he had saved. To tell the truth, he was nearer in love than he had ever been with a woman, and he wished in calm blood to see if she was as beanti fnl as his fancy bad painted her during those awful minutes j&ay he had held her high above the waves. As he passed, the squire remembered that he had not been to dinner, and stopped to say a few courteous words, and introduced his companion. " Miss Conyers." " Lieutenant Jones." But no sooner did Miss Conyers hear Lieutenant Jones' voice than she gave a joyful cry, and clapping her hands to gether said: "I have found him! Papa! papa! I have found him!" Never was there such an interruption to a ball. The company gathered in ex cited groups, and papa knew the Lieu tenant's voice, and the Captain knew it, and poor Jones, unwilling enough, had to acknowledge the deed and be made a hero of . It was wonderful, after this night, what a change took piaca in Jones' quiet way. His books and boat seamed to have lost their charm, and as for walks, they were all in one direction, and ended at Braddon Hall. In about a month Miss Conyers went away, and then Jones began to haunt the postman, and to get pretty little letters, which always seemed to take a great deal of answering. Before the end of the winter he had an invitation to Con vers' to soend a month. and a f urlough being granted, he started off in great glee for Kent. Jones never returned to tha Eighty-fourth. The month's furlough - was - ' indefinitely lengthened in fact he sold out, and en tered upon a diplomatic career, under the care of Sir Thomas Uonyers. Eighteen months after the wreck vol. Underwood read aloud at the mess a description of the marriage of Thomas Jones, of Milford Haven, to Mary, only child and heiress of ir Thomas Uonyers, of uonyprs Castle, Kent. And a para graph below stated that the Honorable Thomas Jones, with his bride, had gone to Yienra on diplomatic mcg of great importance."- - Just his lucK, ' said Lowell. Just his pluck," said Underwood; " and for mv Dart when I come across one of titosfi fellows again that are afraid of hurting their mothers and sisters, and not afraid to say so, I shall treat him as hero just waiting his opportunity.

Dress or this Modern Gbkeks. The distintruishinir feature of the dress of males among the Greeks is a white cotton tunic or kilt, reaching nearly to the knee, and looking very much like a plait ed skirt. Over this is worn one and sometimes two jackets, usually plain but jaunty, and sometimes embroidered with gold lace, and arcqnd the waist is bound a shawl or belt, with the addition in mountainous districts of a leather wallet for a knife and provisions. The legs aro cov ered with tight knit leggings, and the feet with tupied-up shoes, ending in a point, to which a tassel is fastened. The lead is covered with a redskuil-caa, with a flowing blue tassel. A shaggy white cloak, with a hood sometimes thrown over tha head, completes the custom. In the cities, however, European dress is largely adopted. Tha women of the higher classes, who have notyot adopted tha French fashion, wear a skull cap, often set with pearls, with a long gilt tassel, an embroidered jacket fitting close to the body, and a loose petticoat of pay colors. We must confess that the costume is an exceedingly attractive one, and often com pelled us to look twiCTt at the rather pretty young women whom we passed on the streets ot Athens, lu tne interior, how ever, we found the women generally in- uiifing in a dirty wrap around the shoul ders, lu i!;rty short skirt, and still dirtier bare legs and fget. Many of their cus toms remind the traveler of Homer's de scription of their ancestors.

Hahn, in Madison Township, a few miles out from Polk City, and en tered into a contract to work for Hahn. Shortly after that time three days, we believe McKinsey disappeared,' and Hahn, who lived in a secluded place, would not or could not explain the dis appearance of his workman. The sus picions of neighbors was aroused, and finally the excitement became so great as to lead to information being filed before Sheriff Lendrum, who investigated the matter. The Sheriff found Hahn at work in the timber some distance from his residence, and when questioned concern ing McKinsey he turned deathly pale, and was so confused as to oe unaDie to make any intelligible reply for some time, when he stated to the Sheriff that he and McKinsey had spent the evening previous to the disappearance playing euchre, and during the game mciunsey laid down his hand and commenced to pack his clothes, announcing his deter mination to leave tne house, out reiuseu to say where he was going. This was at nearly midnight, and Hahn and his wue thought to watch which way he went, but heard no footfalls after getting a short distance from the house. McKin sey had bargained to work for a year with Hahn, and gave no reason for break ing his contract. After securing this information from Hahn in the timber, the Sheriff thought to visit Hahn's house, and interview the wife before Hahn could see her, and thus find out if their stories in relation to the matter agreed. On getting in sight of the house, Lendrum saw Hahn driving at a furious rate from another direction, but the Sheriff reached the house in time to elicit enough from Mrs. Hahn to show a serious difference in the stories told by husband and wife. She stated that it was shortly after dark that McKinsey had left the house, and after answering a few other Questions, the husband came in, and she referred all interrogatories to him, refusing to an swer any herself. After that both par ties Seemed very reluctant to talk about the matter, either to officers or neigh bors. Subsequently correspondence with parties in Missouri elicited the in formation that McKinsey's parents lived there, but that he had been absent from home for three years, and no knowledge had been had of his whereabouts till he went to Madison towhshito. Some time afterward Hahn came into the Register office and had inserted an advertisement offering a reward of $25 for any information in regard to McKin sey. but this was regarded at the time as a blind, measures having been taken lor bis prosecution. On the 20th of March Hahn was bronchi on trial before 'Sanire Helnron at Polk City, and Mr. C. Bowen, of this city, his attorney, secured a change of venue to another Justice. Several wit nesses were examined, and some very damaging ' circumstantial evidence against the defendant was adduced. It was oroved that McKinsey had worked for Hahn for some time, and that he dis appeared on the evening of January 19th; that on that same day, bunday Hahn had sworn to have his heart i blood before he slept that night. It also appeared that Hahn had tried to per suade some of his friends that McKinsey had been a fugitive from justice, and had left suddenly because he had learned that officers knew of his whereabouts, The Justice, however, discharged Hahn on the ground that fiie evjaence was in sufficient. About the saias time an effort failed to have him indicted on the same grounds Meantime Hahn has been working on ergctically to discover some trace of the missing man, and a few days ago who should come to the house of Hahn but William McKinsey himself, and Tuesday last Mr. Hahn marched him triumph antly into Polk City, exhibiting his long lost hired man in great glee. J. he gen eral impression among Madison town ship people had been that Hahn had killed thp man and secreted the body Lovers of Catherine of Russia. Of the numerous lovers or favorites of Catherine 11., the most celebrated and distinguished was Prince Potetnkia. He is said to have been the only man who had ever dared to make love to her be fore she had given him the signal to do so. and that he was truly and romantic ally captivated by her. But this is very difficult to believe; for she was 45 when he rirst rose to favor, She had prown very stout: the irrxces of youth had Ions taken flight; her life had been one of personal proflitracv, unoamlled, except perhaps that of the Empress Elizabeth. She was thoroughly cold hearted, cruel, hypocritical and selfish. Her vanity was inordinate, and the greatest flattery ac- reptuble to her. She may, therefore. have believed that Potemkin, who was 17 years her junior, was enamored of her rutner man oi tne weaitn ana nonorssne go lavishly t-howered on the man who obtained her favor. Potemkin was poor, and of an humble family of. Smolensk But he was six feet four, extremely hand some, ambitious of wealth and fame, and as audacious, unscrupulous,' and unpnn cipaied as the Imperial mistress herself. He was accustomed to pgpnt the Em press with a plate of cherrea every ew Year's day, obtained at an enorinous cost. He sent couriers into- all the countries for nosegays, or J00 miles for a melon, or to Crimea for a melon. The Prince de Linge said "there is something barbarously romantic in his character." His victories increased the celebrity of the Empress, "f admiration fut pour eUe," says Segur, "et la haine pour ton Ministre." His death was as extraordinary as his life. He had spent a whole year in the most degrading difgip ition, from which his health suffered. Hoping to regain it by rptjrinjr to Nicolaieff, he set out with his nioe, the fJcuntess Branicka, for an estate he had there. On fl;P journey he became worse, and desired to be luted from his carriage and placed under a tree on the roadside. Scarcely had his ser vants laid him there than, heaving a deep sigh, without uttering a word, he expired. Ae vm in his forty-seventh year ; his death took place on the 15th of October, 1791. Another of Catherine's most no torious and influential favorites, George Orloff, became insane from the effects, it is reported, of powerful drugs administer ed by Potemkid, who was jealous of his continued crpdif with the Empress. Temple Bar. Last Months opChaei.es Sumneb's Lifz. Of Charles Sumner the Boston corre spondent of the Hartford Couranl says there was something very sweet about the latest months of the Senator's life which will always be agreeable for his friends to remember. He was on good terms apparently with himself and all the world. He would go when in Boston, from one club to another and , chat with bis friends with much unreserve. On one of these visits, the conversation turned on the profanity of a distinguished American statesman, not now living. Mr Sumner, who never swore himself, said : "Well, I have heard him swear severely ; but as a rule, nobody swears in my presence. The greatest mortification I ever received in my life in this way was when was at a breakfast abroad with Lord Brougham, We sat down at the breakfast table, when somebody brought a newspaper to Lord Brongbam. ft contained a personal attack upon him. The article was mark ed and he read it through. When he had completed it he began a volley of the most scathing oaths that I ever heard fall from the lips of a man. . There was no limit to the curses be rained upon the head of the author of this piece. I was shocked and stricken dumb," said Mr. Sumner.; "The only other occupant of the table except Lord Brougham, myself and Lord Brougham's mother. She sat at the head opposite her son, a venerable and courtly lady, with an elegance and grace of manner that I never saw ex celled. I dared not look at her for soma momenta, but when I ventured to turn my eves in that direction, I found not a mu-cle of her face was moved. She was as calmly unconscious of what her son was saying as if be was talking in Arabic. The breeze soon plow oyer, and we bad a yery eirjfiyablje breakfasw" ' " The Duke of Argyll is having atrocious portrajid printed iu Canada papers. It is not known whether he ifiJl have Beacons field sent over the army and massaere the editors or merely bring actions for Jibel against the publishers ZaU reparations for Tight When a chief is about to fight with an other, he calls his army doctor, who brings intdzi, which he bruises, places in a pot, pours water on it, and then squeezes it with his hand, and mixes it with water. The long tail of a large auiinal, which is well known, called the gnu, is placed in the vessel, and is used to sprinkle with. The army forms a ssmi-drcle, and no one speaks; there is perfect silence ; for, In deed, when an army is being led out to war, no one speaks, even a little; it is an evil day, for men are going to die, and they eat nothing. The doctor sprinkles the whole army, going round the whole circle. When an- army has had this done to it, no one among them may associate with his family at home ; if a man breaks this rule, he "kills himself, making his eyes dark;" that is, he has made himself stupid, he bus lost his sense, so that when he goes into bat tle be must surely be killed. On the day when troops are summoned, and assem ble at the chiefs heatlquarters, cattle are always slaughtered. The meat first eaten is black, being tmeered with a powder made of dried flesh of various animals leopard, lion, elephant, tt The Zulm believe by these medicine to impurt the fierce and powerful qualities of the different beasts. The whole force par takes of this wonderful me.it before goini; into battle, that they may be brave and not fearful. When the doctor hits finished sprinkling the army, the chief comet into the midst of it, and addresses the olJiers, praising the "Amatoniro," or spirits of his ancestors. He ends with an admonition to fight as becomes a brave nation ; he says "Troops of our people who con quered so-and-so. I shall hear of your ' doings. The sun is in the sky ; I have this day given th enemy into the hands of sucti-and-fuch a regiment, and I direct you to follow it, jf you do not conquer, you a ill di-grat yourselyes. My father was a brave ; he was never known to be a coward. Let the assegais wound you in front, let there be no wound in the back. If I see you coming back conquered, I will kill you; you will find uo place for you here at home. I, too, am an enemy if you are cowards." Then there would begin leap ing and rattling of spears agaiust their shields; some shouting and making vows, and then the chief dismisses the army. From The Zulu and their Cuttamt." Carious Custom. An English gentleman who has lately traveled in Palestine, recently gave a de scription of the curious scenes that are enacted in the church of Holy Sepulchre, lie said when you first entered the church you would be surprised to see a party of soldiers with their swords by their sides and their guns within reach, it seems a sacrilege in such a holy place, and struck one rather unpleasantly, but he soon found out the necessity for it. According to the laws of the country, every sect is allowed to worship there, and it is con sidered equally sacred both by Christians and Mohammedans, all wish a time for their mode of worship. They commence at six in tbe morning. At that hour, those who have the brst privilege, enter, bringing with them whatever is necessary to conduct their particular religious rites. They go through some prayers and chants, and all is very quiet until a quar ter to seven, when those who have the privilege of the next hour begin to arrive. At first all is decorum, but presently the new comers begin to hiss and mock. . As their numbers increase, and they become stronger, they shove and crowd, and as the time lessens, they get more and more bold. A few minutes before seven they proceed to more forcible demonstration. They think if they can clear out these blasphemers a few minutes before the time they have done so much good work for God, while the worshipers on the other hand, think if they can keep pos session for a few minutes after time, they have dope an equally good wprk. As some of these sects use torches, was candles, staver or hooks, In their wor ship.they proceed to use them as weapons of offense or defense, and a regular melee ensues. Then come in the soldiers, who separate the combatants by hling in be tween them and turning out those who hour is up, and leaving the place in the possession of the last comers. If blood is shed the church is closed for the day. Such scenes are occurring all tbe day long, and the presence of soldiers is abso lutely necessary. Thk Sunday Laws c tub States. Every State in tbe Union, with the single exception of Louisiana, has on its statute books a Sunday law of some kind, and they are more or less fashioned after the English statutes of Charles I., passed in the year 1C76, and familiarly known the Lord's Day act. In general terms, it may oe said that they prohibit labor on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday (excepting works of neces sity or cuarity, tbp trangaptjpn of ordi nary mercantile business (except the sell ing of medicines), the "keeping open of dram shops and traveling for business or pleasure, with exceptions in favor of ferrymen and mail carriers. In some of the Southern and Western States there are special provisions against the beset ting sins of tberegion. Arkansas punish cs Sunday indulgence jn Vhr2, fcluff, poker, Seven up, tUree-up. twerrty-one. thirteen cards, the odd trick, forty-five whist, or any other same of cards," bv flue of from $15 to $50. California charges from $50 to $500 in the shape of a fine fcr attending auy "bull, bear, cock or prize fight, horse-race or circus," or for keepinir open any gambling house, or any place of barbarous or noisy amusement, or theater wfero iiguors are sow. x lorida, for dis? turbjng any" (hgregaljqn of thite per sons, provides a hue not tq exceed $100, or that the oaanqer snail be 'whipped not exoeedine thirty-nine stripes, or im prisoned not exceeding six months." South Carolina alone of all the States. true to her Puritanical traditions, sticks to the old notion of compelling attend' ance upon divine worship, Her statute sun provides that all persons "having no reasonable or iawruj excuse on every Lord s Day shall resort to some meeting or assembly or religious worsmp, tolerated and allowed by the laws of tbe State, and shall there abide, orderly and soberly, durinz the time of prayer and preach in sr. on paid of forfeiture, for every neglect of tne same, ot tne sum ot ine Illinois Sunday law is much milder than the laws of the other States. It only prohibits the keeping open of tippling houses, and dis turbing the peace or good order of society by unnecessary labor, or amusement or diversion, with exceptions iu favor of watermen and railroad companies. Troy lvme. How thb Hebon Attracts Trout. The old writers on angling, especially fyaltqn, had a nurqber qf queer magicaj various rather nasty comnounds. in which "ivy oil" played a part, we do not remember that a heron s breast was an inirredient, yet if M. Noury. who has lately written on the matter, understands his subject, there is nothing that attracts trout so much aa the breast of the heron. In the streams Bisle, Eure, Bhen and Tonque. that solitary angler, the heron. has nearly exterminated the trout. Many of us have watched tbe patient bird wait ing for his prey, but it has been left for M. Noury to discover how he attracts tha fish. The heron wades into the water till it reaches its breast, and, when trout pass, dives down on them with its bill. There is a pleasing bird to be seen in some aviaries of which visitors are warbd by the attendant that " 'e always taimsat th heye' The heron is Jess particular, and spits the trqut where inil how he can. But why do the trout hot gjvpjjim a wide berth f Why do they actually make, jf Af jjfoury is right, fqr the place whera the erqn as taken his stand? The reason is this; " Beneath the skin on the breast of the heron are certain small reservoirs which secrete a fatty matter that the animal ean exude at pleasure." This substance has a smell offensive to ns, but peculiarly pleasant to trout. The unfortunate fish go to look for the source of their favorite delicacy, and then the heron is down on them. "If the breast of a heron be placed in a trout-trap the latter will soon be full of fish, no matter how large it is." If this be true, it probably has not escaped the notice of Frank Buckland. Perhaps it is scarcely right to circulate the story, for we shall have disloyal bait-fishers keeping herons' breasts in tfir worm-bags, One or two experi ments will decide the question. ln 3gn JTeics, June 23rf.

In an essay before the Lancaster, Pa. County Agricultural Society, Mr. J. C. Linville read a very interesting article on the culture of wheat, in which he told some plain truths. He begins with the idea that forkfuls of manure flung around loosely in chunks is wrong. Of course, if a very heavy coat is applied it does not require so nice spreading to make it cover the ground. If your soill is rich it is better to apply a light coat1 and make it reach further. Four loads! to the acre, well spread, will benefit thei crop as much as five or six loads thrown around in forkfuls, as is too often done.j Having yonr manure out. the next thino! is to plough it under. It makes little! difference whether it is ploughed in as soon as spread, or left on the surface a; month or more. Much has been written by theorists about the escape of am monia. The fact is, there is, as a general rule, but little free ammonia in barnyard manure when hauled to the field, and if there was it would take flight immediate ly when spread, even before it could be ploughed down. A good way to prevent the loss of ammonia (carbonate of am monia) is to have a quantity of land plas ter (sulphate of lime) on hand, and Vp ply some of it to the floors of your stables every time you clean them out. This is said to " fix the ammonia. That is, the sulphuric acid leaves its hold of the lime and seizes the ammonia, form ing carbonate of ammonia, which is non volatile. To prove that this is not mere theory get some pulverized plaster, and when you clean your horse stable on a hot day, and the air is so redolent oi hartshorn that you are almost strangled, sqw a quart of plaster in eaob stall, and in five minutes the pungent odor will have gone. I once ploughed a field cov ered with manure in the early part of August, with the exception of about an acre. This lay bleaching and rof.sting in the sun for about a month ; a plenti ful crop of weeds grew up through it, and it was turned down in the beginning of September and produced by far the best wheat in the field. It may be truly said that one experiment does not prove anything, but there can be no question but strawy manure ia benefited by ex posure to the sun. At the same time the soil is improved by the mulch. As a general rule, early ploughing is the best; but there are so many exceptions to the rule that it cannot be insisted on. When yon are ready and the ground in a proper state of moisture go to work and plough, and pay no regard to the signs. The first thing in the preparation of the soil for wheat or any other crop is to have it well ploughed. If this is not thoroughly done no amount of after cultivation will rem edy the evil. Bad and careless ploughing is at the root of more slovenly farming than anything else. In order to break the ground thoroughly we mus have good ploughs, There are not any newer adapted to our soils and suited to our wants than are made near home. I have long tried to get a steel plough that would "fill the bill," but am now con vinced that a chilled cast iron mould will clean as well and last much longer than a steel one. In regarl to the much vexed question of deep or shallow ploughing I think the almost unanimous voice of practical farmers is in favor of shallow or medium ploughing. When I say shallow ploughing I do not mean the skinning process practiced in some parts of the South. The Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Georgia re ports the average depth of ploughing in that state to be one inch. Farmers in the sunny South must trust to Provi dence more than we. It has not yet been proven that a foqt in depth is better, pjan six or eigh,t inches, and as long a the matter remains in doqbt we will plough shallow or medium and save our teams. Having come to grief two or three times by cultivating the ground too much when in a dusty condition, I hardly know what to say about its final preparation. X think there is not much danger of culti vating too much when the ground is moiRt. A safe rule is, when the ground is dry roll much and harrow little ; when the ground is moist and solid, harrow much and roll little. The soil ought not to be disturbed when very wet or very dry, but we have no control of the weath er and must shape our work accardmsrlv When the ground is pot hard there Is hd better cultivator than the common tooth or spike harrow. The Thomas smooth ing harrow is an excellent implement for nnishing, but will not supersede the com mon harrow in hard, stubborn ground. If the soil is very hard it will require something of the shovel harrow or hoe- harrow species to prepare the seed bed. A field in good order for sowing p,r.e.&finto. a him bottom, a mellow -aiirfaoe to the depth of two or three inches, and a nice even face. Have the ground properly prepared between the 15th of September and the 5th of October (don't wait on the moon) , take yonr drill the " Farm er's Friend" and "Buckeye" are good machines and drill in your whea,(t ta dep$ cj oho and a hft jf Ihcji'es," and at the rate of one and a half to two bushels per acre.

The Produce markets are in aa active state for most lines, but as tbere are very few varia tion! in prices, we have little to report. Oata have been coming in quite lively of late, con sequently buyers are bidding down. The steamer took out 950 sacks, but the San Fran cisco market seems no better than our own. Potatoes continue plentiful with no shipping market for the surplus. Provisions keep in Steady call at unchanged rates. Eggs have dropped to 25 oeuta as they have beoome more plentiful. -JJutter is very cheap, and receipts are mostly packed in kegs, which causes a large stock ef brine. Chickens continue steady. Wool shows no improvement, and none is looked for for aome time. Mail ad vioes from Philadelphia report the movements in that market as follows: "The heavy re ceipts noted last week atill continue, and stocks in the hands of dealers are beginning to accumulate. Trade is less active, the local manufacturer being temporarily supplied, but holders are as firm as ever in their views, aa the condition of the dry goods market, present and prospective, encourages them to hold for full market values. Throughout the West tbere remains very little stock unsold, and here it is worthy of remark that in the history of the trade the clip of the country was never marketed in so short a time.

A shrewd director solved the question by saying that heretofore the people had been compelled to pay 25 cents for lunch, but since the opening of the now famous Pine Street Coffee House in Portland they had been enabled to save 15 cents on each lunch, and by this arrangement they were enabled to make, both ends meet, and put the extra money to their credit in the various banks.
