Washigtok, Oct. 6. It is officially denied at the postoffice de partment that the postmaster at Buffalo, N. Y., has been either removed or suspended. The President today appointed Freeman Barnum collector of internal revenue for the first district of Missouri. When the Sehate meets there will be a list of between five and six liunered postmasters appointed during the recess submitted for confirmation. In addition it is estimated that during tile session of Congress the terms of at least 000 postmasters will expire, so the nominations of over 1000 postmasters will come before the Senate during tile next ses-! sion. There is 2335 presidential postmast- j ers in tins country ami at tiie rate that lias been observed during the past six months all 1 the presidential postmasters will be changed in two years. A meeting of the cabinet was held today at which all the members were present except Secretary Whitney. Among the questions considered were the Spanish commercial treaty and several appointments under the I treasury, interior and justice departments. The secretary of the treasury todav re ferred to the attorney general for his opinion interesting the question in regard to the en- j forcement of the Chinese restriction act. One method to evade the law was for emi grants to land in British Columbia and cross the border into Washington territory. When such persons were tound they were taken hack into British Columbia and warned not 1 to return to the United States It is possible that many Chinese laborers who had entered the United States in various other w sys were driven hack to British Columbia under tlie impression that they came from there. The authorities of British Columbia protest against this practice and call attention to the law imposing a tax of 850 per head on all the Chinese who land on British possessions. The collector at Port Townshend reported the situation to the treasure department and asked for instructions. The secretary has i called on the attorney general for his opinion 1 and it is likely that the matter will be brought before the cabinet at the next meeting.

Rori'ini. New York. Oct. 6. The World says: Notwithstanding the high character and credit of Win, Heath j Co., who for twenty years have been ranked among trie first-class houses in Wall street, there have been made now that the house has tailed serious charges against the integrity I of the firm Direct charges come from a few of the creditors, but there is also criticism in various other quarters. How comes it, it is a-ked, that this firm holding vast sums on j deposit, lor many customers, should risk everything in order to protect one of its cus tomers? How is it that Jarnys Low, ex-dry goods merchant, for instance, is made to suffer to the amount of 8400,000. when the firm permits Henry N. Smith to become its debtor to the amount of 81.250,000 In other words, the firm is criticised for having allow ed itself to become absorbed in the transac tions of one daring operator who was putting his strength against the whole market, for he was selling short while prices were adv&nc ing. On the other hand, surprise is express ed that men like Low and others should have continued their deposits with a firm known to j be involved in the transactions of Henry M. Smith. Yesterday many serious charges were made. The case of G E Morisini, who has attached the property of the firm, appears to be much more serious than was at first re ported. Morisini, in his sworn allegation agai:.f*t Heath Co., says that on the second day of October, 1885, tlie day of the tailure. plaintiff Morisini duly demanded from the defendant, composing the firm ot Wiu. Heath Co., th.* delivery of said stocks and b >nds —$3,192,000 Manhattan stock and 823,04 he was a member of the Executive Council, and in 1873 wae elected Lieutenant Governor. He served as acting Governor when Governor Washburn was elected to fill Senator Sumner's unexpired term, and three years later was elected Governor and served one term. He later became chairman of the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charitv, serving until '84, when he resigned. While in this position he refused to give up the books ot the institution to Governor Butler, then conducting the l'ewksbury investigation. Ex-Governor Talbot who died this noon, shortly before 1 o'clock, was taken ill on the 18th while walking to the residence of one of Ins employes in Billerica. The first symp toms being dizziness and severe pains in the back of the head. He took to his bed at once and physicians pronounced the disease tvrebro spinal meningetis. it was thought he was getting along nicely until Friday last when he experienced a severe chill which threw him back considerably. Since then he has improved much and this forenoon was as comfortable as for the week. He con versed quite cheerfully with the family and ali felt much encouraged. About 13 o’clock he was seized with a sudden ill turn from w hich he sank rapidly and did not recover. He was conscious to the last and was sur rounded by his family. A MI RDEREK’S CON EESSION. The 'truth ofMilson's storv Veiitied by Philadelphia Detectives. Chicaoo, Oct. t>. The strange and wild story of John At. Wilson, who staggered into the 12th street station on Saturday last, proclaiming him self a murderer, is true. A dispatch received last night from Philadelphia, confirms his tale. He is wanted lor the murder of An thony Daly, who disappeared mysteriously about the middle of February, 1SS4, from Ins farm in Montgomery county. Pa. In Ills drunken talk Wilson told of the horrible manner in which lie killed Anthony Daly, a farmer of Ivy llill, Pa., in February, lh84 How after lie had worked for him he asked for money, and on being refused visited a neighboring village and got crazy drunk. Returning, he stealthily entered the sleeping room ot Daly and picking up a meat cltaver brained the sleeping victim. The murderer deliberately hacked the body to pieces, sewed the severeo members in a baa and dropped them into the river. When sufficiently sobered to realize the terrible deed lie had committed he tied the country, arriving in Chicago after almost two years wanderings. Wilson was seen in his cell at the police sla tion last night. He is a small man about 27 years of age a native of Nova Scotia, where Ins parents and relatives reside. Since his arrival in Chicago, lie has worked for a milk man on WeDtliworih avenue. He says he has been nearly frantic ever since lie com mitted the deed amt lias vainly tried to drown his remorse with liquor. When told that his story had been verified bv the Philadelphia detectives, Wilson appeared pleased at the information, As to his punishment he ap pears sornew hat careless. He would rather not he hanged, he says, but seems to think that will be his fate. MIJKDBK. A Hoboken ShIooii Keeper Kills His Mile nod Hives Himself up to the Police. _ Hoboken, N. J., Oct. 0. Geo. II. Disque, a saloon keeper entered police headquarters this altertioon stating that he had killed his wife and wished to sur render himselt. He was locked up and offi cers sent to his residence to investigate. On the floor of a room in the second story the dead body of Mrs. Disque was found with her throat horribly gashed. A baby boy seven months old sat beside the body of his mother patting tile pools of blood on the floor with his chubby hands. The corpse was removed to the morgue and Disque w as arraigned before Recorder McKonough. The prisoner testified on going home this afternoon he found his wife drunk. As he entered the front room a man passed out of I the bed room and down stairs. Mrs. Disque said he was an insurance agent and had en- i tered the room to get insurance papers, as he J wished to increase the insurance on the I childrens' lives. Disque told her that the I she was lying. She left the room, but pres ently returned with an open pen knife, which she raised to her husband. A fight followed, during which both fell to the flour and the blade penetrated his wife’s neck cutting a gash eight inches long. Disque was re j nianded for trial.

A Buffalo dispatch savs that for several days rumors have been current there that President Cleveland had written a letter to a friend in that city strongly endorsing the democratic Stale ticket. The letter was dated the day after the adjournment of the Saratoga convention and was written to one of the former associates of the President, All attempts to see the letter by press represen tatives have been futile, as it is generally un derstood that the President regarded the let ter as confidential and not intended for the press. It has, however, awakened consider able enthusiasm among the ardent supporters of Mr. Cleveland iu Buffalo. A gentleman who has seen the letter says the text is sub stantially as follows Naturally you will desire to know howl regard the ticket you just nominated at Sara toga Gov. Hill and Messrs. O’Brien,Chapin and Sweet vou are aware, are warm personal friends of mine and I would be the last one to wiph them any ill in November. With Mr Cook and Mr. Fitzgerald 1 have only a pass ing acquaintance. Their friends tell me they are worthy men and from all I can learn from other sources 1 believe this to be the truth. I find myself thus in a singular position. I am quoted very extensively as not being in harmony with the ticket. This is no surprise to me tor such allegations were made when I w as in Albany and a year before 1 came to ashingt in. Not deeming them worthy of notice then, 1 shall surely pay no public at tention to these allegations now. 1 always voted the democratic ticket and expect to vote f l?KVOI.VFItS. A Fight lit tivmi Train Ifobbcr* and a tonduetor. Pittsburg, Oct. t>. An Altoona special gives the following ae eount of a tight on a train near Alleghany Furnace this morning, with train robbers An unknown ladav was robbed at Holi daystiurg depot this morning, of her pocket book, containing a small amount of money and her ticket. The lady was on her wav to Altoona and the discovery of her loss was n^de when the conductor asked her for her ticket. A young man on tile train told In* companion, Peter Bradley, that he knew who pickeil her pocket. Bradley informed Con ductor Knepper and they started back to find the supposed robber. A man w as found in the rear car and accused of the theft. A fight ensued and in the struggle which followed Bradley w as stabbed on the right hand bv the supposed thief. The fellow then called on Ins companions, three in number, who came to the rescue w ith drawn revolvers. The conductor desisted in the attempt to ar rest the man, and one of the outlaws pulled the bell rope, stopped the train and the partv beat a rapid retreat into the w oods. The train ranie on to Altoona and a possee wan sent out immediately afterwards, hut no trace ol the gang could he found. A GOWAHULY AS* AULT. How ,«»n Knsnnres n Hung ol Bobbers. Boston, Oct. 0. w. F. Butler, C. II. Sheehan, \V. Huffy and Jeremiah Toomey were arrested early this morning, charged with assault and at tempted highway robbery upon Hugh Gough ian on Albany street. Goughian was on his wav home when the gang pounced upon him, demanding his money, lie replied that lie had none but that his credit was good at a neighboring hotel. After assaulting him and knocking him down, they agreed to lut him off he would stand a treat at the hotel, which he consented to do. As they came from the hotel, Goughian pointed out his assailants to the officers, and they were arrssted after showing considerable resistance. In court they were severally held in #2000 for appear ance at the superior court. The prisoners are members of the “Albany Associates,” who have a club room in houth Boston, and 1 who have committed State Prison offences j almost without impunity. These arrests, it 1 is believed, will effectually break up the gang. Sheehan has served a term in State Prison, and Toomey lias served a time in the house of correction. Giithering ol the Ginns.

The Yield Promise* lo be Much l.argei than Last Year. New Oki eans, Oct. 1. The National Cotton Kxchange crop report savs Though September has not been al together favorable to the crop ami there has been a losa from shedding rust and rot, and in some sections from caterpillars. The good foundation on which the crop rested at tho close of August has stood in the way of ad verse circumstances and the yield promises lo be much larger than last season. The month closes, however, upon much uncer tainly. and in many cases correspondents reler to the yield as dependent upon favorabla picking weather. July fruiting was excellent nearly all over the Jbeil. August fruiting was largely lost by shedding and the top crop is by no means assured any where though it may come out better than now supposed. Worms have appeared extensively, hut tho damage has been proportionately less than usual owing to the rank growth ot the plant, and in many localities where they have been stripped of leaves it has been considered an advantage. The premature opening ot the hulls aud the smalluc.« of the truit have been commented upon, but the latter tact mav bo attributed largely to over abundance of fruit age during tlm early part of the Nt'MNon. Tim condition* have been more equally distributed tine year than la*t and tho increase in crop prospect* extends nearly over the whole belt.

Tin- Kennebec Journal ('itAblUhriK-nt Ik prepared at all time* to give Immediate attention to order# of any Kind of book or job printing. We have every facility for doing work cheaply and well. Have new pre.-e-, large quantities of paper stock, and the latent *t*, !e- of type. Order# by mail will receive prompt attention. For the first time in months railroad earnings are showing steady improve ment. A northern Itakota farmer claims to have raised 17 bushels of wheat in three years from one grain of seed. A crematory will be opened for use at Mt. Olivet cemetery,Long Island in a few days, and there are already 60 bodies there waiting to be buried. Returns from the French elections, held Saturday, show important gains for the conservatives, and the defeat of at least two members of the present cabinet. The British cricket club Is on its way come, after having furnished a great treat to the admirers of the game in this country. They carry off plenty of laurels, having lost but one match out of eight, and that one at Philadelphia, where cricket is played exceptionally well. 1'he failures tor the first nine months of the year were8fill, or l-'l more than tor the same period last year, but the total li abilities were but *90.000,000 against *196,000.000 in 1881. The percentage of assets to liabilities was 48 per cent this year, against 7)6 per cent last. The im provement in the matter of failures is marked, and it is encouraging that the last three months indicates a better state ol affairs than lias been known since 1882. The special-delivery business has not thus far come up to the expectations of the friends of the law, but the officials at Washington express the opinion that the system is one which will steadily grow in popular favor, and account for the small business tlius lar done on the ground that the public has not yet had an opportunity to acquaint itself with the advantages of the system. Postmasters have been called upon for a report of the first week's busi ness. I'he explosion which is to blow Flood Rock out of existence some time within the next lew days will probably attract much less attention than the Hell (late ex plosion of 187ii. Then the cars were stopped on the east-side avenues at about 90th-St.. in New York city, and crowds were kept al a comparatively great dis tattoo from the mine, but the danger proved to be none at all, and the danger lines this time will be much less extensive than nine years ago. While there is no scientific doubt that the explosion will bo entirely successful, there will he little or no spectacular effect. The engineers were not working for that and will not waste one ol the Itoo.ooo pounds ot dynamite up on the air or water. The explosion will ■pend all its force on the rocks beneath. The gratifying announcement is made that, as a result of eight years patient and devoted attention on the part of Lieut. John P. Finley of the Signal Corps, to the subject of tornadoes, trustworthy warnings may soon be sent out to the inhabitants of localities which may be threatened with disastrous visitations. Predictions based upon the observations ot Lieut. Finley have, in faet, been made tor the recent tornado season, and the percentage of ver ifications has proved most gratitying, though these predictions have been large ly experimental. The matter is also of interest to insurance companies, which las! year wrote *li',0t>0.000 in tornado pol icies, and they are awaiting the comple tion ol the map which is now being made, and which will, it is reported, greatly de crease the area otthe tornado regions, and show that large portions of those now bearing that name, have never yet expe rienced a real tonado. One ot the most important and vexa tious questions which awaits the consider ation of Congress is the positiou that Postmaster-General Vilas has assumed with regard to the foreign mail service. The effect of that [nisition is feebly stated when it is said that his niggardly policy, veiled under the name of economy, has quite demoralised the mail service, and is j working commercial injuries to American merchants that, first exciting their sur prise, arc now bringing down upon his! head their hearty condemnation. The; controversy between Mr. Vilas anti the steamship companies is the least; important feature of the situation, j although American shipping has suffered from so many and such serious bunions that not a little of Mr. Vilas’ unpopularity grows out oi his attitude of hostility to American lines and of favor for foreign companies. But the question that is being forced upon the attention of Congressmen. and especially those representing indus trial constituencies, reiers to the wretched makeshifts to which he is resorting for the conveyance of mails that are the source to merchants of annoying delays and serious losses. Book Notices. The October number of The Andover Re i view offers a large amount of valuable infor mation and interesting discussion respecting topics connected with Christian Missions. Ur. Barrows considers several important and timely questions a* to the moral obligations resting upon civilized nations in dealing with those leu advanced, and as to the effects of the policy which has hitherto obtained. Dr. Stuckenberg contributes an important paper upon the present Religious Condition of Germany.” A view is presented by Rev. C. i C Starbuck, of the op. rations of sixty-two missionary societies in Germany, Great Bri tain, and America. Mr. Hamilton A. Hill, under the title “The New England Coro pany,” traces the history of a London niis sionary organization which operated in this i country until the Revolution, and which still I continues its work in Canada. In the depart tnent of “Religious Intelligence” there is a lull account, by Rev. Julius 11. Ward, ot the i recent Congress of Churches held at Hart ford. The series of papers on "Brogres sive Orthodoxy” in Continued, the subject ol tbe present paper being “The Christian.” A rich and strong number. Houghton, Mifflin Co., Boston. We are in receipt ot the October number of “The Microcosm,” a monthly magazine "devoted to the investigations and discover ies ot modern science and their bearing on tbe religious thought ot the age; with other matters ot general interest.” A French Aotiou The Figaro has opened up a new topic for discussion and is thereby made the idol of mothers with marriageable daughters, not to mention the adoration of the daughters them selves. The F'igaro's editor, who is a bache lor himself, advocates the establishment of a poll lax on all the bachelors of the republic, amounting to Ilxy francs per annum, from every adult unmarried man over 25 years of age. excepting soldiers, who are obliged to remain unmarried. M. Millard, the Figaro editor, argues very correctly that bachelors cause great evil to exist, and thereby tends to de-troy itie foundations of the government, and it is their duty to help support the gov ernment which supports the thousands ot w ufs in the foundling asylums. It is also the duly of the government to en courage marriage as a matter of govern ment policy, as well as on the grounds of morality. He estimates that there are in France lit,(XXI,000 males, ami excepting the old men and minors, he thinks there are 10, 000,000 in prime of whom 11,000,000 are bachelors—nearly one-third of all the able bolied Frenchmen. t these there are 1.000. 000 in tin: army, so that at last we have 2.000. 000 of these “horrid creatures,” who are “too horrid” to get a wife, although there are more unmarried women than men in France. This scheme would bring 200,000, 000 tranc- (*40,000,000) into the national coffers every year. Mr. Millard thinks only bachelors between the ages of 25 and GO years should be made to pay tor their single blessedness.—Letters from Haris. Lieut, tlreely’s Lecture*. Lieut Greely lias written to a friend here deny ing a statement Jliat is going the rounds of the press that lu'Jias made money by ins lectures since he returned from tin- Arcuc re gions. Lieut. Greely says that instead of making money, lie actually ran short over *1,200 last year. He says when he lias ac cepleil invitations from geographical and other similar associations to leciure he paid Ins own way to and from tin- places, often at considerable expense. It cost him over *40 to deliver a recent lecture in Massachusetts at an agricultural lair, though the fair a-so ciatiun did hot return him even his expenses. His name, more than Ins lecture, was used to draw a crowd to the lair. He says there will be no admission charged to bis 1 ctures in England and Scotland, as lie speaks in jach ease In fore scientific associations, though he has been promised that his expenses will be paid, l.it ut. Greely has arrived at the con clusion that there is no money in the Arctic business. He has hopes that an exception will be made in Ins case, and that he will not be required to return to Ins regiment, though Secretary Kndicott has always insisted that lie will allow no exceptions, and that all officers tor years absent front their commands must return, so there then shall lie a tair ex change of the soft places.— Washington Let ter to the Hartford Times. A Miser Worth Half a Million. An eccentric old bachelor named Kentish, aged *0 years, who had lived at Croydon nearly half that lime, has been found dead in Hi* bed. lie was formerly a cashier at a bank, where he accumulated a great deal of money during the railway mania 40 years ago. Tins he carefully invested, and "it is estimated that it w ill now amount to consid erably more than £100,000, the whole of which, in default of a will, goes to some dis tant connection. The deceased occupied plainly furnished lodgings, and lived in a penurious manner. He was never known to give away a penny, and Hi* sole pleasure was in saving.

A party of one hundred and ten gentlemen from Portland passed through this city on the afternoon train, yesterday, en route for Moosehead Lake, where they will remain until Saturday. Each gentleman was adorned wnth a blue ribbon on which was printed in gold letters •'Moosehead Lake I’arty, 1883." A highly enjoyable time is anticipated. A youth, evidently not well acquainted with the w ays of the world, stood on the sidewalk near the Bridge street corner, yesterday, and ale a lobster, cracking the shell with his teeth, lie remarked to his companion who stood in Ins side with one pant leg drawn up over in* boot, that he got the shell fish cheap it costing only l:.’ cents. The crowd looked on and snickered. As will be seen by report of patents to Maine inventors. Will. Harvey of Keadfield, has taken out two, one on improved axe and one on scythes. The improvement in the axe consists of a pole or limbing bit, sharp in the center and thick or blunted at the ends. This is for use in cutting limbs etc., and saves the cutting bit; it is a good thing. The improvement in scythes is in corrugating the web and having a concave back. They were obtained bv W. S. Choate, solictor of patent. The time for raking out the old pieces of stove-pipe and getting them into running order has arrived. As we dropped into a place of business on Water street the other day, the proprietor aod one of his men was discovered tugging at a stove pipe trying to connect tne pieces. One was up in a chair fitting the pieces, while the ether was holding them together, or trying to. The former had a large cudgel of wood with which he was rapping it into place. Suddenly, as the one in the chair was about to hit the pipe a heavy blow a cinder got into his eye and the club slipped, coming down soundly on the other fellow's head, causing some very sul phurous exclamations on his part. WITTHHOP. The telegraphic news ha* acquainted your reader* of the narrow escape we had Sundar night from a very serious conflagration. The house occupied by L. M. Aliev »i totally destroyed together with all its eontents: loss about 8I0OO. Mr. Alley had no insurance, the house was owned by Angie Coy; insured for nearly its value. The house was in close proximity to C. M. Bailey’s Sons Co.’s oil cloth lactones and nothing but our fireworks saved them, and many private dwellings also. A stable belonging to C. M. Bailey stood within three feet of the burning bouse, but the firemen worked like tig-rs and succeeded in saving it. This is the third fire in a few weeks. The cause of the last fire, defective chimney. The alarm was given a^out nine o’clock, P. M.. by some boys in Mr. Alley’s absence at meeting, but every body thought it was the noise caused ny Capt. Thatcher's Salvationists, until the whole vil lage was aroused by the ringing of the fire bells. This marching and yelling by the Salvationists i* getting to be an intolerable nuisance and disgusting in the extreme to all lovers of good order. We hear Capt. Thatch er and his band are going to leave. ‘-May God speed the departing guests.”—Mrs. iief en Richardson, wife of the proprietor of the Winthrop House, her son Freddie and Mrs Webb, her mother, started la*t week >0 visit friends in Iowa and other places west, thev will be absent about two months.

Three years ago she came with her husband to this place from Lancaster, N 11 and they bought the Win throp House.

Mr, H Eugene Smith can again be found at Fowler Hamlen’s dry goods store,having returned from Boston, to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Fowler's appointment to the postmastership. It is frequently remarked that it ‘seems natural” to again meet Mr. Smith in the store. The following d;spo«ition of all appealed i cases and indiem mis* for violation of the laws regulating the us.? and sale of intoxicat ing liquors at September Term of the* Supe rior Court, 1885, is attested by A. C. Oils, Clerk: In 11 cases tines were imp >sed an 1 paid amounting to *1010.81. In D cases the parties were sentenced to im prisonment f »r non-payment of fines, aggre gate sentence 25 months; in 2J cases a nol prosequi was entered. In 7 cases the princi pal and sureties were defaulted and ID cases were marked law. Quite a number collected on the streets last evening, regardless of the rain, to see the Salvation Army. The report had been circulated that they intended to parade with drums, although they had no permit from the mayor. But there was no excitement. A solitary soldier was seen to come forth from the barracks, pick his teeth with a jack knife and then disappear. It cost ten cents to find out what became of him.

Lincoln Baker, was sent bv the Boston Tow Boat Co. to Bath, to endeavor to raise the tug Mary Lee, sunk in 18 fathoms of water off Small Point. It was thought extremely doubtful if the party would be able to work the wreck on account of the gr*at depth of the water and its ex posed position Mr. Duncan, the diver who so successfully worked the wreck of the steamer City of Columbus, after great exer tions managed to reach the tug and get the hoisting chains under her. Upon attempting to lift the boat, the tackle slipped and another week was used up m rearranging the appar atus. The second attempt w as not success ful. and the half dozen trials made since then have proven fruitless. The work is being prosecuted by the insurance companies, who jiad very heavy ri«ks on the tug, and it is ru mored that they claim if they can get ttie boat afloat, that they can show she was set on fire to secure the insurance.

Poultry Yard VVben fowls are confined the vicious habit of tea'her plucking begins. There is a lack of occupation, and it is natural for them to be occupied and active when «in health. To make poultry-keeping a business,' remember these conditions: Space for range, attention to health, proper food, and soil and market must be estimated and provided for. Do not sell off the bens that begin to molt early, as they will finish the shed ding of the feathers and begin to lay be fore the winter sets in. The late molting hens, however, should always be sold. Fowls that are made over-fat and kept stimulated are more liable to disease than when in ordinary flesh. It is better to keep them hungry during the summer than to make them slovenly with fat. Pure water must at all times be within the reach of every towl and chick but such is their perversity, it possible to find something stronger than pure water, they will eagerly drink it, to the immediate danger of their lives. Shallow, tin piat ters make good drinking cups, which may be kept from overturning by a stone in the middle. The hen houses should be fumigated ami cleaned at once if it has not already been done. The old laying and sitting nests are alive with small vermin. Clear j out the filthy straw and burn it up. Wash the nests with kerosene oil in a thorough manner. Hens two or three years old will not lav so large a number of eggs as will pullets in the first twelve months af j ter they commence to lay. In quantity, therefore, yearlings will excel, hut not in quality for hatching purposes. Have plentv of fresh water at hand, which they may drink at will. Fowls as well as chicks become quarrelsome if fed on raw meat. Again, cooking makes meat more nutritious. When raw it is rather harsh and crude compared with the more natural diet of worms and grubs, which are for the most part easily digested. The fumes of sulphur will destroy any vermin that may be lurking in the feathers of the un der part of the fowl. To do this properly, pay a visit to the hen in the night and .slightly disturb her. when by natural in stinct she will bristle up her feathers all aver her body. This then, is the best chance for using the sulphur.—Poultry World. t.ralt*. A little attention to the needs of our trees when young will accomplish won ders in aiding them to become perfectly formed specimens when grown. Michigan grape growers discard all tedious methods of training, simply twist ing the vines around a small post and fastening them with a small nail. The canker worm is destroying entire orchards in several localities. Spraying the trees with a mixture of one ounce Paris green and 10 gallons ot water is a sure remedy for the pest. Small fruit raising for market may not pay many farmers situated inconveniently to markets, but every man who owns an acre of land should raise sufficient for his own family use. The moss crop of Florida is said to be worth more than the cotton crop, and it can be placed on the market at less ex pense. The demand exceeds the supply, and there is not a county in the State in which the product is not going to waste. Currant and gooseberry cuttings are usually set in the spring, but August is a better time. Cut shoots of the new growth into h ngths of 6 inches, and plant in the richest corner of the garden, leaving about an inch, with a bud, above ground. Chicago and other large western cities have been unable to consume the im mense crop of strawberries raised in the Mississippi Valley this year; in conse quence thereof Bostonians were treated to the novel sensation ot having Illinois strawberries oll'ered in their markets.

Sept. 7. ISM. wtw37* ?alr$ and Sketches. I KEEPING HER PROMISE. (Continued from vesterday.) ‘•Yes, my brother thinks a great deal of •mv two darlings,” said the mother, in re ply to some courteous commonplace of the governess; “there were but three of us, my brother and sister and myself. My i brother has never married, my sister mar ried against his wishes, and so mine are the oufy children in whom he feels any in :terest.” “There are not many in the family,” observed Miss Seyton. “So; my sister had but one son, whom mv brother at one time desired to help, his parents being dead; but the young man, with unwarrantable pride for one in 1 his position, rejected all my brother's i oSers, and we have not heard from him lateiv. I believe he is now somewhere in the West,” was the reply. "May I ask his name “Harry Elberon. Do you know him “1 met a gentleman of that name while I was staying with my sister last year,” replied Miss Seyton. demurely. Mrs. McEntire frequently congratulated the major upon having obtained such a treasure of a governess; and he observed, with much satisfaction, that the lady in question kept her promise religiously, both in letter and in spirit; though, by the way, the major had never mentioned to his sister that he had been offered such an assurance. After a little while he began to think that there was no need for the young lady to treat him with such marked coolness and more than once he unbent from his habitual dignity, in the effort to tempt her to a little more familiarity. Still she maintained the same icy reserve, though her manner toward every one else was easy and pleasant enough. So persistently did she avoid him, so perseveringly did she shut her eyes to his advances, that the major, sought after ami flattered tor the last twenty-live years as a most desirable match, besran to think Miss Seyton a very remarkable woman. From that he went on, and asserted to himself that she was a deuced pretty girl. Advancing slowly but surely, he told him self that she was a lady of wonderfully dignified ways, yet gracious to everybody but himself; that she deserved a better position in life than that of a mere gov erness that she was fit for a high station; that she would adorn the loftiest; that she would do excellently as—Mrs. Major Humphreys. While the gentleman had been coming to these conclusions, he had been unmis takably attentive to the object of his thoughts; and she, thinking that perhaps she had rather overdone the thing, relent ed somewhat in her manner toward him. Though the softening was barely percep tible, the major was overioyed. Perhaps because it was not too great. A goddess who stoops too low is in danger of losing the reverence of her worshippers. Hut the next day the cruel, fair one was as relentless as ever, and the major still more hopelessly in love. He acknowl edged the true state of atl'airs to himself now, and had almost made up his mind. Had Miss Seyton been kinder to-day, he would have been less decided than yester day but furit that hung so high must surely be worth the plucking, he thought. So matters went on for some time long er. Mrs. McKntire, deceived by the gov erness’ shyness and reserve toward the mighty magnate ot the place, gave her sell no trouble on the subject; to imagine that he would tall in love with the govern ness, when pretty girls of wealth and standing had been almost thrown at his head ever since his boyhood, was prepos terous and Mrs. McKntire never did any thing that was preposterous. Miss Seyton alternated her moods be tween the freezing point and a few de grees above while the Major had long passed fever heat and was nearly at that point where the kettle boils over. At last he became desperate. Resolving that Miss Seyton, fearful of losing her po sition, had only assumed this manner in order to guard against selt-betrayal, lie determined to set her mind anti his own at rest by a formal proposal. Then he rebuked himself for his stupidity in not having thought long ago of the true ex planation ot her behavior. Nothing could be more natural. it was a spring day, warm and beauti ful, but the governess was seated quietly at a window correcting an exercise. Her pupils were playing: on the lawn. Into the schoolroom walked Major Humphreys. "I have something to say to you. Miss Seyton," he began, clearing his throat. •‘Nothing disagreeable, 1 hope?” she asked, looking up with a smile, rather eo iiuettishly, it must be allowed. "No—that is. I hope not,” replied the Major, as he placed a chair for himself. Hut the lady bail now risen, having gathered up her papers, and stood facing him. The Major rejoiced; he felt that he could be more impressive when both were standing; to say nothing of the greater facilities for drawing that pretty bead to its proper resting place on his own manly bosom. ••I have often been struck. Miss Seyton, by the admirable grace of your demeanor, and I have thought what an ornament vou would be to a much higher position than that which you now hold.” "I am sure I am very grateful for your good opinion, sir," murmured the gov erness, modestly, her eyes downcast. ‘•And this has been so thoroughly im pressed upon me that, after much serious deliberation. I have matured the purpose which 1 now wish to declare to you,” "You are very kind. sir. to have given any thought to me beyond the way in which my work is done,” replied the young lady, as demurely as ever. “Miss Seyton, I say that I have thought long and earnestly about this, for it is a very serious thing. A man of my—ahem —age and of my position in the commun ity is naturally cautions about such things. Hut 1 believe that 1 have determined upon a wise course of action. Miss Seyton, I desire to make you my wife.” "Major Humphreys, have 1,then,seemed to loose sight of my promise? It has never for a moment been forgotten.” Her voice was earnest, almost tearful. "Miss Seyton—Klenor—you have not sought me—1 have sought you. Will you not comply with my earnest desire "But, sir,” replied the wicked little flirt, resuming possession of the hand which he would have raised to his lips, “1 am already engaged to—” "The devil!” ejaculated Major Hum phreys. startled out of his usual dignified propriety by the astounding news. “Oh. no, sir!” answered Miss Seyton, drawing back, apparently very much shocked at the suggestion. “Quite a dif ferent person, I assure you. He is said to be a very worthy young man, and is making excellent progress in his profes sion. His name is Harry Elberon. He is your nephew, is he not? So I don’t mind telling you that we are to be married in the fall, and that I taught this year to get A Bank may fail, and yet, by wise management, regain its credit. So, also, if wise counsels are followed, the strength and vigor of a failing constitution may be restored. Many eases like the following could be cited: Frank Laprise, Salem st., Lowell, Mass., says, that on account of impure blood, his whole constitution was shaken. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla freely for a month, his health was restored, and his original vigor regained. Speculation as to what will cure Dyspepsia, vanishes before the light of such evidence as that furnished by O. T. Adams, Spencer, O., who says: “For years I suffered acutely from Dyspepsia, scarcely taking a meal, until withiu the last few months, with out enduring the most distressing pains of Indigestion. Ayer's Sarsaparilla saved my life. My appetite and digestion are good, and I feel like a new man.” Two bottles of Failure to get the best remedy at the outset, in volves, in case of sickness, not ouly a waste of money, but useless suffering. John H. Ward, 9 Tilden st., Lowell, Mass says: “Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me of boils, sores, and itches, which no other remedy could remove. I tried several other so-called sarsaparillas,’ but re ceived no benefit from them.” William II. Mulvin, 122 Northampton st.. Boston Mass., writes.that The Cause of all his sufferings, “enough to kill a dozen men,” was the failure of his kidneys and liver to properly perform their func tions. He was permanently cured by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Sirs. George Edwards, Bo-ton Highlands, Mass., was cured of liver and bilious troubles by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Warren Leland, the famous hotel proprietor of New York city, writes: I have person ally used Ayer’s Sar Ayers Sarsaparilla saparilla cuml me of Dyspepsia,” writes Evan Jones, Kelson, X. Y. Mrs. A. M. Beach, Glover, Vt., writes: “A humor of the blood debilitated me, and caused very troublesome scrofulous bunches ou my neck. Less than one bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has restored my appetite and strength. It has also greatly lessened the swellings. I am confident they will be entirely removed by continued use of the sarsaparilla.” Irving Edwards, Ithaca, X. Y., was afflicted, from boyhood, with scrofulous sore throat. Four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured him. and he has Never since been troubled with the di>ea»e. for Rheumatism, with entire success. There is no medicine in the world equal to it for the cure of liver diseases, gout, the effects of high living, and all the various forms of blood diseases.” Beuj. Coach man, Bronson. Fla., writes: “I suffered for months from debility, and pains in the lower part of my chest. Three bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla have made a new man of me. I am entirely cured.” Doctor T. Porter, Cerro Gordo, Tenn., writes: “I have prescribed Ayer’s Sarsaparilla in my practice for a number of years, and fiud its action admirable.” It never I to vitalize the blood and expel impurities.
