GREELEY AND BROWN.
Tho C'trcuiuatniirrs In AVhloh tho two
Met Tor the l'lrst Time.
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. Sctli Green in

"Where the Newspaper Goes.
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

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

THE ACADIAN WILD MAN.
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'. P. Hoe, in Harper'
