It will perhaps surprise many to learn that Horace Greeley ami Gratz Brown never met but once. They did not know each other when they were nominated, and their only eliat or con ference was at the house of Dr. Steele I in Bond Street, where Mr. llrown was a Sliest after his return from New , Haven, where he had gono to attend the i oommeneement exercises. Maj. James llaggerty. who has since made such a successful canvass as an independent Tammany candidate for re-election to the assembly, of which he has been a member for the last three years, was then a stanch Republican. Ho held a position in tho custom house secured through the influence of Mr. Greeley, of whom he was a great admirer, and whose personal friendship he enjoyed. He determined to follow him in his change of polities and resign his posi tion in order to take the stump for the liberal ticket. Maj. llaggerty was present at the interview between tho two men and talked to me the other day about tho incidents of thoir meet ing. "It was on a Sunday afternoon, shortly after the nominations were made, that Mr. Greeley sent, for me," said Maj. llaggerty, "to meet him at his .hotel. He said, on my arrival: 'Mr. llrown is in town, and it is timo I called upon him.' We went to the house of Dr. Steele, in Bond Street, whore Mr. Brown was a guest. After tho intro ductions wero over Mr. Brown began, with some tcstiness of manner: 'You were not in any great hurry to call upon me.' " '1 didn't know whether you were quite ready to receive me,' was Mr. Greeley's reply, and, after some further conversation in a jocose vein, Mr. Brown put tiio query abruptly, but pleasantly: 'Greeley, how much are ou worth?" " 'Well,' said Mr. Greeley, in his pe culiar way, 'if I could sell all I have of Tribune stock and farm stock at a fair valuation I ought to realize at least $100,000.' Mr. Brown seemed some what surprised at tho reply, and Mr. Greoley laughed heartily and then ask ed: 'By the way, Mr. Brown, how much arc you worth? How much have you made out of journalism?' "Mr. Brown's faco assumed an ex pression of seriousness, which quickly changed to indignation as ho replied: 'Nothing.' "But, Mr. Brown,' rejoined Mr. Gree ley, 'ain't you pretty well lixed?' "Yes, I am pretty well lixed, and I'll tell you how I came to bo so. I found myself with a young wifo when I was sent Hying out of the editorship of the Missouri Democrat. I still felt myself a great man, but somehow tho faces of the leading men of St. Louis had taken on a new expression toward me. There wero dinners given to which 1 was not invited, receptions at which my pres ence was not deemed important. Then I began to feel tho squeeze of poverty and 1 thought I would start a now jour nal. Of course 1 went to tho men I had helped to charters, to power, and posi tion. They no longer addressed mo as "My dear llrown." It was "My dear fellow." I was no longer tho editor, but a beggar. " 'Well, Mr. Greeley, I concluded to go to Jcflcrson, City, and instead of getting a charter for somebody else I resolved to got ono for myself, and I ob tained one for a street railroad in St. Louis.' I think, though I am not clear," said tho Major, "that ho built tho first horse-railroad in that city. Ho continued: 'Then I bought a farm out side St Louis and found slate on it. I think 1 have reason to put myself down as worth now or in tho near futuro SoOO.000. " 'But I would rather bo poor to the extent of being broadless than to real ize, as I have done, the infirmity and treachery of man. Now, young man' (turning to mo), 'I don't want to make a bad impression on you, but if you aro in politics for a living tako my advice and givo it up. Apply your energies in selling matches, even at retail, threo boxes for a penny, nnd it will bring you peace and happiness!' ."Tho conversation then bcciuio moro gonoral, and Mr. Greeley referred to certain disparagipg statements against Mr. Brown that had been go ing through tho papers, and Mr. Brown again fired up. 'I would not bo your managing editor,1 ho said, 'for all tho world, for I know that I should hato you; while you aro a kindly man with a lot of bonovolonco I know that you would hurt my feelings twenty times a day. No man of real strong individu ality nnd intellectual power could bo your subordinato and not linto you.' Mr. Greeloy's faco lengthened and ho slowly replied: Tvo thought of that myself.' 'You aro not an unkind man,' returned Mr. llrown, with loss asperity, 'but you have the art of offending.' "So tho two men parted, and, I think, with mutunl esteem. Thoy i never saw each other again." ! Safety Instincts of Fish. In the labors of a lish culturist in re stocking depleted waters, ho has many things to contend against which can bo avoided in dealing with stock on our farms, in that wo cannot keep the lish separated. We oftentimes lind that certain waters are adapted to Some of the most choice varieties, and in tho same localities will be found some of their most deadly enemies. It is astonishing to see how quickly young lish learn to distinguish their enemies. Thoy show a great ileal of shrewdness and cunning in escaping from them. In fact it seems to be born in them, and it is undoubtedly that instinct for self-presavation with which every organism that possesses animal life seems to be endowed. Tho home of nearly all kinds of young fish is near the shore, and if by chance, in search of food or otherwise, they should happen to get too far out and an unforeseen enemy should suddenly make his appearance, thoy set their little propellers in rapid motion to reach tho shallow water where tho larger fish cannot go; and when a littlu fellow reaches tho goal, if ho is not too frightened, I have no doubt but that ho chuckles to himself to think how he has fooled his pursuer, or as 1 have seen them when they wero so far out that they could not gain tho shore before they would be overtaken and devoured, they will with a quick turn of tho body suddenly dive into the mud on the bottom. On ono occasion which came under my observation, a chub was making for a little trout, doubtless smacking Ids lips in anticipation of tho tempting morsel, when suddenly ho disappeared, leaving his chubship stand ing in mute astonishment as to what had become of his prey.

You enter ono of tho simple country houses of New England, at somo dis tance, it may be, from any railroad station or busy manufacturing center. It is a lonely looking place, for tho children of tho house have grown up and gono away, and tho farmer and his wifo are growing old. Tho routine of their lives is narrow, and they go through it day by day, as if nothing in the world were quite so important as that. You fancy that this elderly couple will bo found sojourning still in tho Middle Ages. But look about you, my friend, and you will see, that onco or twice a week it brings to tlieso per sons tidings from the ends of the earth. You will find, that they have more timo to read, and to keep t lie run of affairs than you in your busy city life, and when you sit down to talk with them, you will learn that thoy are not fossils, but well informed, and porhaps cultivated peoplo. They know some thing not only about agriculture, but about manufactures, scieuco and art, about social life in other places and countries. And so, while they linger beneath tho old moss-covered roof, they arc not shut in by tiio lino fences of their farm, or by the bounds of their town; their veiw embraces tiio great wide world of humanity. And tho win dow through which thoy look, or rath er tho mirror in which they seo it all reflected, is tho newspaper. American Agriculturist. Alcohol and Health. Tho evil effects of alcohol when usod as a beverage aro becoming thoroughly appreciated. Tho moral degradation, tho mental impairment, and tho de struction of tho physical structure of arteries, heart, liver, kidneys and brain that follow abuso of this substanco aro known. Tho further fact that it alono among human agents can bo depended upon to keep tho heart going that has beon weakened by acute diseaso should add to tho arguments against its habit ual employment in health. Whoa thus abused in health and in youth, its bene fits in diseaso and in old ago are "dis counted," and tiio hands of tho physi cian aro practically paralyzed when ho has to deal with typhoid fever, pneu monia, etc., in tho habitual drunkard. Liko opium apd other valuable medi cines used when not needed, alcohol bo comes useless when it is needed. Tho foolish, who thus abuso ono of tho most valuable of the gifts of science, must pay for thoir folly, that thoy do have to pay for it with strength, intel lect, or life itself destroyed while . thoy ought naturally to bo In full vigor, Is only natural naturo'8 mothod to por mit the "survival of tho fittest,"--.

A Faithless AVotunn's "Work-Thtrty Yeiirn of Stlonco. Down in tho rich alluvial delta of Louisiana there winds to the sea a slow brown bayou calbd tho Terrebonne, from tho fertility of tho black loamy land through which it Hows. Big su ;ar plantations lie along its course, but .tear the mouth arc tho homes of many Acadinus, for this was one of tho dreams along which thoy settled in Louisiana. They cultivate little rice farms and 5rangc groves, and live in summer up on their fishing and the produce of their gardens in winter upon tho game that lbounds in the marshes. Since their ?xilo they, liko tho Bourbons, have for gotten nothing and havo learned noth ing. Their language, customs, and manners are identically tho same as the lay when With the turn of the tide the chips called out of the lmibor, And the coasts ot their beloved hind grew misty with distance. In among these thriving little farms is a largo tract of land, a melancholy, weedy waste. Great forest trees have grown up in tho midst of what wero fair fields that waved with golden rice. Fences and boundaries long ago rotted away. Tho ditches nro choked with grass and young willows grow along their line. The whole is matted with till! I'ANGLKl) OHOWTII OK Till: LAVISH VHQ CTATION brought up from this fertile soil by tho tropical suns and wild rains. Sonic limes at dusk you will catch a glimpse of a bent figure skulking away from tho door of a ruined cottage whoso jhitnnoys havo fallen in, whoso roof is i green pulpy mass of lichen, and whose walls totter forward to a fall, l'lie neighbors will explain that it is only old Allandin, tho wild man. If you will lie in wait about this hour of tho day, concealed in tho under brush, you may catch a closer glimpse of him. Ho looks 70, but is not realty so old. His once tall form is bent, and lio walks with the quick, creeping move ments of an animal. Long gray hair hangs in filthy matted locks to his waist, and mingles with his great swooping beard. Two largo dark eyes gaze out from a wrinkled, pallid faco through tho rough hair, with a glare liko a cat. His hands aro liko rough, knotted claws, and his wholo body has a growth of coarse hair upon it. His only cov ering is a pair of brown blankets, through which a hole has been torn to ndmit his head, and ho creeps silently away every night into tho forest swamps. This is tho story tho neigh bors tell: Thirty years ago tlioro was no moro prosperous farm in the parish than that of Elicnno Allandin, and no more re spected man than its rich young ownor. Ho was alono in tho world with tho ex ception of somo distant cousins, but his friends wero many, and ho was be trothed to a pretty young girl who was to marry him in tho next March. His faco was plain, except for his splendid dark eyes, but ho had a warm gonllo heart, and wits a lino parti, so that ho would not havo asked any par ent round for twenty miles for thoir daughter in vain. According to OI.1) ACADIAN US AO IS ho built a new house that winter spend ing loving euro upon tho nest that was to hold Ins little mate. Tho wedding day approached. Tho happy bridegroom mado ready tho mar riago corbeillc, as was usual, only his gifts wero tiio most splendid over seen in that simple neighborhood. Tho wed ding gown was of real whito silk, tho veil, wreath of wax orango flowers, with tho whito shoos and gloves had come all tho way from Now Orleans. 11c roso early that lovely March morn ing and arrayed himself carefully in his black, shiny clothes, casting tender amused glances at tho little feminine garments lying on that pride of every Acadian woman's heart, a plump, strong bed with milled pillows. Ho was making up a parcel of thoso gar ments ready to bo carried to tho brido when an embarrassed and sympathetic delegation eamo to inform him that the brido had disappeared. Sho had elop ed with a handsome young good-for-naught who had been refused by her parents, and had left not a word for her betrothed. Allandin stood liko a man stunned; then ho turned every ono out, and shut himself In with his ruined happiness. Soon tho neighbors whisporcd that tho now house was empty, and Allandin had gono away to tho swamp. From that day ho novcr spoko to any human being. All day tho man hid in his houso, and with nightfall went to tho forest, and like a wild beast sought Ids food. Crawfish, lizards, field mice, and birds, en ten raw, wero his sustenance. His hair and beard grew long and tangled, his clothes fell to pieces, and it blanket became his only garb. In all theso thirty years ho has never spoken, and now ho knows no human language His only sounds are a few inarticulato cries, and ho shuns his kind like a hunt ed animal. The sympathetic Acadians have never disturbed him, and at nights when they hear a faint echo from tho swamps of a wild human cry, they look sadly at each other and say: "C'cst lo paur' Allandin ca!" Acw York Sun. Selection of Fruit Trees. I shall speak first of apples, pears, and cherries, and 1 havo been at somo pains to secure the opinions of emi nent horticulturists as to tho best selec tions of tlieso fruits for tho homo tablo, not for market. When thero is a sur plus, however, there will bo no dillicul ty in disposing of the lino varieties named. Tho lion. Marshall P. Wilder, tho veteran president of tho American Po inological Society, writes as follows: "Herewith is tho selection I havo mado for family use, but I could put in as many more in somo of tho classes which arc just as desirable, or nearly so. Tlieso have been mado with referenco to covering tho seasons. Apples -Red Astrakhan, Porter, Gravenskun, Khodo Island Greening, Baldwin, Roxbury Kussctt, and Sweet Bough for baking. Pears Clapp's favorite (to bo grather cd August 20), Bartlett, Seckel, Shel don, Beurro Hose, Beurro d'Anjou, and Vicar of Wiuklield for baking, etc. Cherries Black Kaglo, Black Tartar ian, Downer, Windsor, Cumberland, and Bed Jackot." Mr. Wilder's honored name, like that of tiio lato Charles Downing, is insepar ably linked with American fruits, and tho country owes these two men a debt of gratitude which never can bo' paid for thoir life-long and intelligent efforts to guide tho people wisely in'lho choico and culture of tho very best varieties. A moment's thought will convince tho reader that I am not giving too much space to this matter of selection. Wo aro now dealing with questions which wido and varied experience can best an swer. Men who givo thoir lives to tho cultivation of fruits in all their myriad varieties acquire a knowledge which is almost invaluable. Wo can not afford to put out trees, to givo them good cul ture, and wait for years only to learn that all our euro has been bestowed on inferior or second-rate vnrioties. Life is too brief. We all feel that tho host is good enough for us, and the best usually costs no moro in money than do less desirablo varieties. Therefore I seek to givo on this important question of choico tho opinions of .somo of tho highest authorities in tho land. Mr. A. S. Fuller is not only a well known horticultural author, but has also had tho widost exporionco in tho culture and observation of fruit. Ho prefaces ids opinion with tho following words: "How much and how often wo horticulturists havo been puzzled with questions liko yours! If wo mado no progress, wero always of tho same mind, and if seasons never changed, thou perhaps tlioro would bo littlo dilliculty in deciding which of tho varieties ot tho difiercnt kinds of fruit wore roally tho best. Hut seasons, our tastes, and oven tho varieties sometimes chango, and our preferences and opinions must vary accordingly. Apples Early Har vest, Fall Pippins, Spit.enburgh, Ithodo Island Greening, Autumn Sweet Bough, and Talmnn's Sweet. Cherries Karly Ptirplo Guignc, Bigarroau of Mczol, Black Eagle, Coo's Transparent, Gov omor Wood, and Hollo Magniliquo." Tiio choico of Mr. 15. S. Cannon, editor of tho ltural New-Yorker: Apples Early Harvest, Gravcnstoln, Jellbris, Baldwin, Mother, Spitzon burgh. Pears Seckel, Tyson, Clapp's Favorite, Bartlett, Bourro d'Anjou, and Dana's Ilovoy. Chorries Black Tar tarian, Coo's Transparent, Govonor Wood, Mczol, Napoloon Bigarroau." Tho authorities, appoar to differ, And so thoy would in regard to any locality, but it should bo rcmoinborod that Pres ident Wilder advises for tho latitude of Massachusntts, Messrs. Fuller and Cannon for that of New Jorsoy. I will givo now tho solcction of tho eminent horticulturist Mr. P. C. Borckmans for tho latitudo of Georgia: "Chorries (tills is not a good chorry-produclng rogion, but I name tho following as tho best in ordor of morit) Buttnors, Gov cnor Wood, Bollo do Cholsy, Early Richmond, and May Duke. Pears (in order of maturity) Clapp's Favorlto, Seckel, Duchosso, Bourro Superfine, Leconto, Winter Nollis, or Glout Mor ceau. Apples Early Harvest, Rod June, Carter's Bluo, Stovonson's Win tor, Shockloy, Buucombo, Carolina Groeuing." Ho who makes Ids choice from these selections will not moot with much dis appointment. 2v'.
