A Tree Thnt Got .llml.
A gentleman of tbis place has a
tree which is a species of acacia. It
was grown from a seed brought
from Australia. The tree now a
papling Borne eight feet in height,
and is in full foliage and growing
rapidly. It is leguminous, and very
distinctly shows the characteristic
of the mimosa or sensitive plant.
Regularly every evening, about the
time the chickens go to roost, the
tree goes to roost. The leaves fold
together and the ends of the tender
twigs coil themselves up like the
tail of a well-conditioned pig. After
one of the twigs has been stroked
or handled the leaves move uneasily
and are in a sort of mild commotion
for a minute or more. All thiB was
known about the tree, but it was not
until yesterday that it was discover
ed that the tree had in it much
more of life aud feeling than it had
ever before been credited with. The
tree being in quite a small pot, one
which it was fast out-growing, it
was thought best to give it one of
much larger Bize. Yesterday after
noon the tree was transferred to its
new quarters. It resented the oper
ation to the best of its ability.
Arriving at his residence about
the time the tree bad been trans
planted, the gentleman found the
house in grand commotion. On ask
ing what was up he was told that
they had transplanted the tree ac
cording to orders, and the operation
had made it very mad. Hardly had
it been placed in its new quarters
before the leaves began to stand up
in all directions like the hair on the
tail of an angry cat, aud soon the
whole plant was in a quiver. This
could have been endured, but at the
same time it gave out an odor most
pungent and sickening just such a
Binell as is given oil- by rattlesnakes
aud many other kinds of snakes in
summer when teased. ThiB odor so
filled the house and was so sicken
ing that it was found necessary to
open the doors and windows. It
was fully an hour before the plant
calmed down and folded its leaves
in place. It would probably not
have given up the fight even
then had it not been that its time for
going to rest had arrived. It is
probably needless to add that the
whole household now staud in not
a little awe of the plant as being a
thing more animal or reptile than
vegetable. Virginia (JVei) Enter
prise. ..omtm of Money.
"Pardon mo for troubling you, sir,
but did you drop a twenty-dollar
gold piece?" asked a man with an
earnest look on his face and a mem
orandum book in Iiir hand of a well
drossed individual on the corner of
Jefferson and "Woodward Avenues,
Detroit.
The man addressed ran his baud
nervously into various pockets and
replied :
"Well, now, I declare I Can it be
possible that I was so cnrcless as to
drop that coin? Yes, it's gone. I
must have lost it right here, near
where wo staud."
The man opened his memorandum-book,
took from his vest pocket
the stub of a lead peucil and said :
"Will you favor me with your
name and address?"
They were given, and the ques
tioner started on, when the well
dressed man cried :
"Hi, there! Where's the money.
Give me my gold piece."
"Ob, I didn't find any money. I
took a notion tbis morning that in a
city like this, where thousands and
thousands of dollars are handled
every hour, there must bo great
losses, and started out to investigate
the matter. Between here and the
river I found seven men that lost
twenty-dollar gold pieces, and I ex
pect to run the list up to 200 before
I reach the City Hall. Good day, sir."
A Cheerful Face.
There is no greater every-day vir
tue than cheerfulness. This quality
in man among men is like sunshine
to tho day or gentle renewing moist
ure to parched herbs. The light of
a cheerful face diffuses itself and
communicates the happy spirit that
inspires it. The soureBt temper must
sweeten in the atmosphere of con
tinuous good humor. As well
might fog and cloud aud vapor hope
to cling to the Bun-illumined land
scape as the "blues" and moroseness
to combat jovial speech and exhila
rating laughter. Be cheerful al
ways. There is no path but will be
easier traveled, no load but will bo
lighter, no shadow on heart or brain
, Imt will lift sooner in presence of a
determined cheerfulness. It may at
times 6eem difficult for tho happiest
tempered to keep the countenance
of peace and content, but the diffi
culty will vanish when we truly
consider that sullen gloom and pas
sionate despair do nothing but
multiply thorns and thicken sor
rows. Ill comes to us providen
tially as good and is a good, if we
rightly apply its lessons. Why not,
then, cheerfully accept the ill, and
thus blunt its apparent sting.
The Discipline of Drmlgery.
A "liberal education" ie a capital
thing, and the thousands of young
men who are now honored with the
title of A. B. arc to be congratulated
upon the good fortune which has
permitted them to acquire the men
tal discipline resulting from a four
years' cburse of academic 6tudy.
Bat these young men must not make
the mistake of supposing that this
discipline is an all-suflicient prepara
tion for the higher callings of life.
That is, the young men who propose
to enter any of the branches of pro
fessional life, for instance, must not
imagine that the fact of their having
college education will permit them
to leap to the top rung of the ladder
at once. The discipline they have is
valuable, but chiefly so as a basis
for the acquirement of practical
knowledge, without which success
is impossible. By practical knowl
edge we mean acquaintance with the
minuthe or little details which go to
make up all occupations. Such
knowledge a college education can
not give. It is only to be acquired
by patient application. The disci
pline of the college curriculum must
be supplemented by another kind of
discipline, namely, the discipline of
drudgery. No one, however largely
endowed with mental power, can be
exempted from the necessity of
acquiring this discipline. It is far
more essential to success than the
discipline furnished by a
course.

A ScrinoB oh Eu?ly ITIurrIag:e.
The Rev. W. A. Robinson of
Cleveland, Ohio, said last Sunday in
a sermon : "I believe that the scrip
tures teach that early marriage is
desirable. Solomon says : 'Rejoice
with a wife in thy youth.' We find
the same implication in Isaiah where
tho fact is used as an illustration:
'For as a young man marricth a vir
gin, bo shall thy sons marry thee.'
Again Malachi : 'Therefore take
heed to your spirit, and let none
deal treacherously against tho wife
of his youth.' The same implication
occurs again and again in the teach
ing of the book. Not that it in any
wise authorizes a man to rush into
marriage before he is qualified to
support a wife, or before due con
sideration is given to the matter,
but if he have a good trade or pro
fession, or lawful business, which
has the reasonable promise of sup
port in it, and have correct morals,
is uot that capital? I verily believe
tho laud would be vastly better if
all young people would be content
to begin life humble if need be and
build up their fortune and their
homes together aa the birds do their
nests. Then, again, an early mar
riage secures a more ready assimila
tion of character and tastes. It fur
nishes a worthy object which
stimulates to industry. It saves
many of those temptations against
which the charms of a christian
homo iu wedlock is the Burest pro
tection." Mr. Sides, who was bitten some
lime ago by a dog that was supposed
to bo rabid, and went to Illinois iu
search of a mad-stone, returned last
Tuesday. Ho found tho stone, so
wo are informed, for we have not
seen him, of which he was in search
aud applied it to tho wound where
it remained 100 hours less the time
it took to purify the stone. When
the stone was filled with poison it
dropped from the wound and was
then put iuto sweet milk which
drew out the poison, and when tho
stone was thus purified it was again
applied to tho wound. This course
was repeated until the stone would
no longer adhere to the wound. The
poison was then considered all out
of the system and tho patient free
from further danger. The stone is
a very small one, not larger than a
kernal of corn, aud usually brings
its owner five dollars an hour for
its use, though we are iuformed that
it cost Mr. Sides only $25 for its uso
in his case; this besides traveling
expenses and time, has been a pret
ty costly dog bito to Mr. Sides, .and
still hundreds of worthless curs are
allowed to run at large to the great
danger to the lives and happiness of
the people. Clay County Journal.
The time for making hay is at
hand. There never was a finer
quality or a larger quantity on these
prairies than is seen this year. Let
every farmer or any other person
having stock to feed, take advantage
of the bountiful supply of grass
which nature has yielded, and put
up hay enough to meet the emer
gency that may arise from a long and
severe winter, or a poor hay season
next year. Remember that many
were surprised last winter and com
pelled to buy hay at an exorbitant
prico for several months. This
should not be allowed to happen
again. Now apply tho old maxim,
'Make hay while the sun shines,' and
next March when the bleak winds
aro howling over the prairie, you
will rejoice that your cattle and
horses arc abundantly supplied with
nutriment of life. Wahoo Inde

We took a stroll with Judge Bal
lard out to his place Monday even
ing, and after a somewhat protracted
interview with his cherry patch,
looked about at the most euteusive
aud varied assortment of growing
fruit that we ever saw anywhere.
He has about twenty acres so com
pletely overshadowed with fruit
forest that it is a perfect labyrinth of
fruit, both great and small. He has
two acres of grapes that it will re
pay any one a trip ont there to see,
und we got a small stamp to wager
that for beauty of appearance and
quantity of fruit, no other two acres
in the state will compare with them.

Tal.e Care of Farm .Steele.
Now are the days when the farm
horse suffers most aud more thuu
ever needs the watchful care of his
master. See that he has a fly
blaukct of some kind. It costs but
little aud will be appreciated by the
animal. See that his stable is airy
aud a good bed is made, so that he
can rest well and be ready for the
coming day's work ; or still better,
if you have a pasture turn him out
nights, but continue to give tho reg
ular amount of grain.
Seo that he has plenty of good,
fresh water, and as often as every
two or three hours during the hot
weather, the practice of allowing a
work horse to go from morning un
til noon, or from noon until night is
simply barbarous. Provide plenty
of shade for your stock that runs
out in pasture. If there are no trees
see that a cover of some kind is
prepared to keep them from the
scorching sun. Give stock tho most
favorable opportunity for feeding
during the cool part of the day.
Coupling season for sheep will
soon be here and good rams should
be eecurcd. The flocks should bo
watched carefully, that no disease
gets among them.
J?igs should have plenty of green
food. Pigs that come this month
will be ready for holiday pork. The
pens should be kept clean ; a coat of
whitewash will add much in this
respect. Clean swine make healthy
pork. Nebraska Farmer.
Union Pacific Extension In IVc
br.iKka. Tho Union Pacific surveying par
ty, sent out from Omaha on Mon
day, will survey a line from St.
Paul, Nebraska, northwest up the
Loup valley to Ord, a distance of
eighty-five miles. This extension of
the St. Paul branch runs through a
very rich farming country. Ord is
in the vicinity of old Fort Hartsuff,
recently abandoned, the buildings
and lumber having been bought for
the Union Pacific by Land Commis
sioner Burnham. The extension
will probably bo built this year, aud
next year it may be constructed to
Fort Niobrara, sixty-five miles fur
ther north. Where the line will
eventually terminate has not been
ascertained, but it will be seen that
tho North Platlo country is getting
its share of railroad construction.

Railroading: in 1S3I.
Col. Sumner, of Akron, O., says
that in IS.1I, as he was returning
from New York via Albany, at the
latter place he found the first train
drawn by a steam engine in Ameri
ca in readiness for Schenectady.
Eight men lifted the engine on the
rails. Common road coaches wero
used, with flango wheels. The train
ran at the rato of five or six miles
per hour. When a few miles out
the train stopped on account of the
engineer lotting the fire get too low.
Multitudes of people gathered to
witness the strange phenomenon.
When tho train was ready to start
from Albany, tho conductor cried
out, "All aboard ; give us a push."
There were five coaches on the track,
each coach capablo of carrying fif
teen persons.
The contract for grading the entire
distance from St. Paul to Ft. Hart
suff has been let and will be finished
just as rapidly as men and teams can
complete it. Jim Kyner has the
first twenty miles and will break
ground just as soon as the surveyors
get out of his way. The remainder
of the contract is in the hands of
men who will put a large force of
experienced graders at work in a
short time. This will be good news
for the people up the Loup, whose
most sanguine expectations of the
wondrous benefits to be derived
from railroad facilities, wo hope will
be fully realized. It will be of im
mense profit to them, and while
they are getting a great deal, Grand
Island, naturally, by reason of her
location and excellent wholesale
facilities, will come in for her share.

Section 75, chapter 47, general
laws of Nebraska, reads as follows :
"It shall be the duty of each over
seer of roads during tho month of
August or September, in each year,
to make provision for the prevention
and spread of prairie fires in his
district, by causing the grass along
the line of the public roads, at least
two rods in width on each side of
said roads, where practicable, to be
mown. Such grass shall be permit
ed to lie where it is cut, and shall
not be raked or gathered together,
but shall, at a suitable time, when
dry, be burnt. The labor to bo per
formed under the provisions of this
section shall bo a part of the labor
to be performed by persons assessed
to pay labor, or road tax, and they
shall bo allowed compensation at
the rates hereinafter provided for
other work on public roads."
Last week we published an article
from the Columbus Journal in ref
erence to Mr. aud Mrs. Merritt, of
Norfolk. Said article we see by the
Norfolk Journal was wrong in some
of tho main facts. Mrs. Merritt did
not attempt to drown herself be
cause her husband refused to take
her back east, but did so while la
boring under a mental derangement.
They live on a homestead near Bat
tle Creek and were on their way

The New York Herald advocates
the substitution of arbitration for
jury trial in civil cased. It says:
The civil Jury of to-day is a crude
anomalous relic of the past, which'
has come down through tour centu
ries without material change, and
which never could have found a
place in a modern jurisprudence
had it not been foisted upon us by
time and circumstance. Men drawn
at random from the masses, withont
any reference to tho intelligence, ex
perience or calling, are made to
decide intricate questions of prop
erty, finance, trade, shipping, me
chanics, etc., concerning which they
are wholly ignorant. As their du
ties are temporary they gain no
experience. As they serve unwill
ingly and with impatience to return
to their business or home3 they arc
apt to be careless and indifferent.
In the number of its members the
jury is absurd. Controversies in
volving vast interests aro decided
by a single judge. The disputes of
nations aro settled by two or three
arbitrators. Busiuc98 men submit
their differences to one of their own
number. But in a jury trial, how
ever insignificant the amount of the
question involved, twelve men arc
deomed essential to settle the mat
ter satisfactorily. Nor is this the
most ridiculous feature of the sys
tem. In tribunals of arbitration,
courts, legislative and other bodies
the graveBt questions are decided by
a majority. But In the case of a
jury the ancient requirement of
unanimity which Hallam properly
denounces as a "preposterous relic
of barbarism," defeats every verdict
to which each of the twelve jurors
is not willing to agree.
In Southern Colorado has appear
ed a gray fly never seen before until
tbis year. It lights upon the back
of the grasshopper, bores a little
hole and deposits an egg therein,
then flies away to another. The
grasshopper thus fixed acts slck,aud
in two days dies, when a small grub
comes out of its body and soon be
comes a fly. Millious of grasshop
pers have been thus destroyed this
year. Mr. Bartelot, owner of a very
large aud beautiful farm seven miles
southwest from Littleton, was the
first one who informed us of this,
and his statement is verified by sev
eral others. Denver Great West.
Rev. Dra. Jewctt and Hatfield,

held in Chicago next month.

A girl heard her father criticised
severely across a dinner-table. The

Here's a positive fact that occur
red in a public school recently: A

"We're in a pickle, now," said a
