villa Obsirvcr. Office: At l!e Same Old -Stand. 3V W ;l 11.1 o Faycltevillc, Tennessee. tartaj Anting, October 21, 18S9. - - Watering IIou.se Plants. The Garden disputes the rule that water should be given in moderately small quantities, and . supplied frequently If the caus es of failure where plants are cultivated in windows were mi nutely investigated, the drib ld in g py stem of watering 'would be tound to be the principal cause. A plant ought not to be watered until it is in a lit condi ' tion to receive a liberal; supply of that clement , having previous ly secured a good drainage, in order that all superabundant wa : tcr may be quickly carried olf. Thbsc who are constantly drib bling a moderately small quan tity of water upon their plants w ill jKit liave Uicm in a flouriu ing condition any length of time. This must be obvious to all, for it is quite evident that the mod erately small quantity: of w at er frequently given would keep the surface of the soil moist, while at the same time, from the ef fects oH gbd.lldj-ainage which is essential to the well-being of all plants in an artificiaJ tetalc, all " the lower roots would 'perish' for want of water, and the plant be come sickly and die. Forecasting th9 "Weather. Here is the way you can get credit for, a wonderful deal of wisdom. Head and remember. An intensely blue sky indicates very heavy rains in not over forty -eight hours. A grey hazy sky indicates continuous dry and hot weather. A southeast wind indicates a storm in the north west. If it rains when a north west wind sets in, it .will soon iton. When a west wind sets in,no matter what the weather is, at least three days of fair weath- er will follow. . There are only two kinds of clouds of primary cliaracter,firat, those that float high, and those that float low. Those that float high, six to nine miles, are of a gauzy structure. Those that float low.onc to three miles,arc called pile clouds. "When the low clouds arc sharply denned against, the bhic sky, rain may be expected. If the gauzy clouds, instead of becoming cumulus, or piled up, reascend and dissolve, no ram need be expected until they low er again,which is generally with- m twenty-lour hours. 1 liese are the rules that the farmer and the sailor work by, and after a little study arc found quite rch able. How to Clean the Floor. Woman's Journal. If you have a" painted floor keep soap and soap suds oil of it, for it snots the brightness of the' paint, makes it soft and then it peels off, leaving the ilnnr lookinir worse than if it had not been painted. Tf vour floor has not been painted, keen soap off of it for it gives it a -..dirty, grimy look and keeps growing' worse all the time. Just take clean, hot wa ter,'put a icispoonful of spirits into a three-gallon pail of water, tlr it. and with a clean long- handle! mop' rub the floor all over, then wipo it off with clean water. It will take a little while to gel the gray out of the boards, but it will come alter a ume,anu you will And it far easier to keen vour floor white and nice : than when it was cleaned with ; soap or suds. .A sea Captain who was asked by his wife to look at some pian- os while he was in the city with ; the view of buying her one, wrote home to her: "I saw one that I thought would suit you black" walnut hull, strong bulk heads, strengthened fore and aft with iron frame,1 scaled with white wood and maple.

"Elder, will you have a drink of cider?" inquired a farmtr'of an old temperance man who was spending an evening at his house. "Ah hum no, thank, ye," said the eld man; "I never drink any liquor of any kind 'specially cider; but, if you will call it apple-juice "I'll take a drop." -: Toddlekins is a very small man, indeed, but lie said he nev er minded it at all until his three boYa grew up to 'bo. talletrap p'n" -oung follows, and hys wife Le-an to cutrdownl their v- old lollies to fit him. And then he said he did get mad. r;- :The First Oil-Well.;-: A story is published in a Cum berland Valley newspaper to the effect that oil was found inWgc quantities near Burk'sville, Ken tucky as early as 1828. Un fortunately all the witnesses arc dead, it is ciaimeu, noiievei, that some cf the oil is still re tained in bottles, but we wi 1 have to in that this testimony is net competent. The article appeared in IheCumbcrhuidCem rif.r, and is as follows: -Some time sin.ee we read an article in a 2s O! them 'io'urnal making the statement that Colonel Drake, who put down the lirst oil well in I'diu-ylvanla, h;.d beenj-en-Hqnetl Ibf the great discovery made! by him. liie lact is in disputable that Colonel Drake did lirst -sink a. well for oil in Pennsylvania, yet, many years previous to that a eoir.pany of Cumberland County gentlemen, who are long since deceased, formed a copartnership for the purpose of boring jor salt, water, and in pursuance thereof they sunk a well near the town of HurksvitUv Keutuckv.about two auJ a half miles from this place, on the Columbia Koad. When they had reached me depth of eighty feet they struck petroieiiui in large quantities. It flowed for two' weeks, filling ltanox Creek bridge deep, and running off into the Cumberland 1 iiver, covering the river for twenty miles, when some, mis chievous chap set fire to it, in consequence of which navigation was impossible for days. Jt is estimated that thousands of bar rels escaped from this well at that time, and. thousands since. This was.in 1823. . Some of out oldest citizens remember this, and will verify our statement. It was the first and is the oldest oil well in the world. At this time the company ,knowing noth ing of its value, its usa and qualities, abandoned the work. In the course of time, howev er, some enterprising quack doc- tor strolling through the coun try, discovered that it had great medical qualities as a liniment. tic therefore engaged with the owners of the well to deliver to him, in bottles, great quantities, to be shipped Xorth, where he prepared and sold it for medical ailments of allorts, shipping to Europe, as well, where it soon became very popular, and called and knowirthcre as the "Amer ican Oil," from which circum stances the well was called, and' is now known here as the "Old American Oil Well." There is now a large number of bottles filled and corked, ready for ship ment, as per contract made with the owners, still in possession of Mr. Ed. Baker, son of one of the company, which was never for some reason, delivered. We have seen the oil, and can certi fy to its superior quality. Since this time (1SG3); when to strike oil was a lortune, many wells have been sunk in the county with like success; in' fact, the county is full of oil, and the wells sunk are too numerous to mention. It is only a question of lime as to its development. ' Can You? Can any one tell why men who can not pay small bills can always find money to buy liquor and treat when among friends? Can any one tell how young men who arc always behind with their landlords can play bil liards, night and day, and al ways be ready for a game of cards when money is at stake? Can any one tell how men live and support families, who have no income and no work, when others, who are industrious, are half starved? Can any one tell why four fifths of the young ladies prefer a brainless fop, under a plug hat, with tight pants and a short coat, to a man with brains? Can any one tell why it is that some mothers are. always ready to sew for the distant heathen when their own children are ragged and dirty? Can any oue tell, why a man who is always complaining .that he can not afford to subscribe for i the local newspaper, and every week borrows it from his neigh bor, can afford to attend every traveling show that comes into town?

This order I received one hot day in August, on the day after the robbery had taken place. Of course I did not let much ime pass beloie I was at the station and fairly started. Once there, Barrowtown is a quaiut, liclurcsdue. little town, lite many -another in goodly En- land. Jt seemed almost too lull to boast the doubltul honor of having a full-grown robbery. Still, I like the quaint little lown, for it was there that 1 gained my first promotion. 1 met at the station the Local In- pector, a stout, pompous, ex citable little man, who looked doubtful as to the prudence of the Scolltuid lard authorities in sending down such an ordi nary-looking mortal as myself. "Oh, he rcm&ked at last, "so . n t It s you, youug man, is nr. x don't -'think wo are likely to trouble you much1 this time. riM. lium T wa nnuo caught thecuiprit ourselres." 1 merely bowed, and express ed a w ish to see the prisoner; and we - both set off for the county iail.perhaps a mile away. Well, it certainly seemed as plain as day to me that the un- appy wretch on whomlnspcc Dr Musrsrrid'rc had laid his fell jrrasp could easily have proved an alibi had not that wortny oi- licer continually interrupted him with: "Better keep all that lor vour examination, my good fel low, or it it . all be Urougnt up against you,my man,you know." I told him seriously, as soon as I could, in private, that the mnn ho arrested was no more miiltv than I .was, but he simply smiled iucieduously, and asked who else could be the culprit as this was. the only really ab andoned character of the town, and it plainly was the work of some out; who knew the place "Besides," he - added, "it isn'i very likely that any one coult! beat ma on my own grcunu where I know every body, you know; and it he d'uhi't do it,who did?'' Vvith this really unan . sjyet able argument he accom panied inc to the scene of the robbery, where wo were snown over the premises of the house AVhcn I saw the ground-floor window by 1 which access had been gained to the house, I quite agreed with the worthy "local that it was the work of a"new hand " and that from the fact that his footprints, wherever we could trace them, showed no hesitation, but rather a thorough acquaintance with the grounds, the culprit, whoever he was. must have had some opportunity of visiting the scene of opera tions, and probably lived some where in the neighborhood. It seemed that the thief had entered the house by a window in ihe rear,andcarricM off a small box of valuables from the room of the ma&ter of the house,who had been staying at a lricnd a on that night. Both these facts showed an intimate knowledge of the house on the part of the culprit, and strengthened our former belief. We were intorm ed that the lost casket an or dinary tin cash-box had been almost filled with various arti cles of jewefry, and therefore the loss was rather heavy. Oi course the i now ledge that there would be a good reward for the recovery of the missing proper ty did not abate my zeal. Dtill, in spite ol my eagerness to dis cover the culprit, I could make but little ol tlie case, and might even have come over to the o pinion ot tne "local, Dili lor one very important tact, namely, the footprint's in the garden-bed were smaller than those of the prisoner! Now, although a man can wear boots several sizes too large for him on occasion, yet he can hardly walk with com fort in shoes an inch or so too short. - ' ' ' Very much annoyed at ray want of success, and dreading the chaff I would be sure to get when, compelled to give it up,tf I hhould return to town, I was not particularly delighted next morning to see lr. Mnggrulgc coming up the road to the house accompanied by the editor of the Barrowtown Weekly Banner, who had determined, he said, to write up the account of the rob bery himself. But there was no escape; and so, prepared for a hot of questions, I was walk ing slowly to meet them when mv eve was caught by some- j ar thing bright among the bushes by the roadside. Yes, there could bono doubt of it; there lay the lost box, empty, of course. Without stopping, how ever, I walked as calmlv as pos sible on to the Inspector, and was introduced to 4Ir. bhears, he editor. It wa3 simply won derful how obliging I had be come. I even, when Mr. Mug gridgc hinted that he waa press ed lor time, volunteered myself to give Mr. Shears the informa tion he wished, and to go over the 'premises with him.M Once left alone with the zealous 'rep reaeii tqtivc of the press, I gave hat gentleman all the points of the case, and a few more, as you will see. The next forenoon, as soon a copy of the Banner came to the house where the robbery had occurred I had for the last two days spent frora the forenoon until dusk there I turned to the end of tho column devoted o the "Great Robbery" and read, with a chuckle, the an nouncement that "the loss of tho jewels would be less felt had there not been between the wo bottoms of the box almost 200 in bank notes, of which", unfortunate!, the numbers had not been taken." Probably the intelligent reader sees my plan, but certainly I did not choose to explain it to Mr. Muggridge, when, an hour atcr,that worthy excitable gen- lenian rode, very hot and very red, up the shadeless road to complain of my having "made a confounded mess of the account, you know." I simply advised him to wait for a very few days, and then I would be happy to explain every thing. That evening,as usual,! left tho grounds at dusk, after spending the most ot the day in watching though apparently engaged in something else whether any one went near the spot, a few hundred yar,ds from the grounds, where lay the box on which I especially depended as a bait to hook the thief. By walking slowly, I managed to let the shades of evening close around me before I was far beyond he spot where I had made up my mind to watch and wait. 'Eight I Nine! Were they nev er coining? And was my trap hud and bated in vain ? Ten I Surely they should have come by this time. Still Wa3 that a sound on the road ? Yes, and coming from the village, too ! There were evidently sev eral of them, and I began to re gret not having brought some help. Nearer they came,laugh ing and talking, as I cautiously drew back from the road. And now they were opposite the spot where the box lay hid. But , what! Thoy've'gono by; and in the hearty guffaw of the man furtherest away ol the three I recognized Farmer Lobbins, at .honest fellow, whose acquaint ance I had made during my short stay. After this sell,- I had almost given up, and waa actually making up my mind to abandon the affair when a faint sound irom down the road made mo crouch as low as possiblo onco more. It was no hoax this time. A short, thin man, whom I easily recognized as a man of all work who had been helping the gardener that day, was creeping stealthily down the road close to the bushes. As soon as he reached the sot where the box had been thrown, ho lit a small lantern to aid him in his search. This time I felt sure; and so,whcn the man blew out the light, after securing tho supposed treasure, the capturo was made. "Oh ! why,ycs," observed tho worthy Mr.Muggridge,who was iu the oflice when I brought in the prisoner that night. "I thought as much; I've had my eye on that fellow all along." The man made a confession; indeed, he was caught in the act, and could not deny it. The jewels were all recovered, and the reward proved very useful in helping me to marry and set tle down quietly, when, one month later, I received ray pro motion. There is a tramp who haunts the east end of Oalvcston who has got it down fine. He has reduced it to a jjerfect system, lie has his regular- customers, so to speak, lie knocked at the door of a house. Hie owner came out. As soon a3 ho Baw the tramp he said: "Now, look here, last week I gave you a nickel to stay away for ten days, and here you are back again." The tramp put his hand to hi orchead and was lost in thought "or several minutes. Then he said, "You are right, Colonel. Your regular assessment is not due yet for a week. AVhcn I get back to my counting-room 11 pay oil my head book-keeper and discharge him. lie has ncg- ected to give you tho proper credit on the ledger." "Well, o on, now." "All right. Col onel. Thia is not a professional call; it is only complimentary. iNo extra charge.' It was a Galveston tramp, too, when ho was asked to take a dime out of a quarter. He said the year previous ho had been out $50 by losses in making change. It was at a Galveston hotel table that a child attracted con siderable attention by saying re peatedly: "I want a cake." "Yo have had five or six al ready," replied the mother. "Them's not the ones I want, I want a fresh one." A Connecticut man wrote to his grocer that he wanted somo "abelyac," Lnckily he sent a jug, and the grocer fillet it with apple-jack. . "
