Teopl# Trill Talk.
You may go through the world, hot 'twill I

If you listen to all that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted and kept in

For meddlesome tongues must have somethii

And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed
You'ro a wolf iu sheep's clothing or else you';

But don't get excited?keep perfetly cool,
For people will talk.
And then, if you show the least boldness

Or a slight inclination to take your own pa)
They will call you an upstart; conceited &i

But keep straight ahead?don't stop to e

And hint rather strong that you can't pay yo:

Cure Tor Scab on Sheep.
F. W. S., Mechanicsburg, Ohio, writes
to the New York IHmes : To cure scab
in sheep, make a decoction of four
ponnds of tobacco stems or coarse plug
tobacco in five gallons of boiling water.
The tobacco should not be boiled, but
steeped only in the boiling water until
it is cool, that its volatile properties,
which are most effective, may not be dis
sipated. The strained liquid is then
brought to nearly boiling heat, and one
pound of flowers of sulphur is mixed
with it. If the whole is affected, a suffi
cient quantity of the mixture should be
made to enable the sheep to be. dipped
in it bodily. If not, the liquid, brought
/-v* 1 OA
if a ucau ui xau ucg.) oxiuuiu uo puiuciu
upon the scabs and the surrounding
skin from a spouted can, and rubbed in
with the hands or a cloth until the scabs
are broken up and removed. The raw
surface is then soaked thoroughly with
the solution, and then dressed with an
ointment of raw linseed oil, pine-tar and
sulphur, rubbed up together smoothly.
The whole of the sheep should be gone
over carefully in this way every week,
and every new red spot that appears up
on the skin treated with the tobacco so
lution, followed by the oil mixture. The
buildings and yard fences where the
sheep have been kept, and the plaoes
against which they have rubbed them
selves, should be washed with hot lime
wash. The scab is a parasitic disease
similar to the itch in mankind, and
caused by an insect which burrows in
the skin. The insect must be killed be
fore a cure can be effected.
T
A Time for Care.
Serious daDger lies in the unhealthful
ness of an unusually mild winter, with
its dampness and sudden changes of
temperature. This will undoubtedly be
felt both by man and beast. The health
of the farmer and his family should be
guarded by the utmost care and the most
unscrupulous cleanliness. No foul sur
face water should be permitted to ooze
unnoticed into the well or the spring.
Fouled drinking water, emanations from
decomposing, moist, unpleasant collec
tions of vegetable or animal matter,
pools of stagnant water in the pathways
or around the dwellings, leakage into
the cellar beneath the house, and other
such unwholesome influences, affect the
health of country residents more than
any other evils. Where pure air and
water are supposed to be the rule they
are, oa.'the contraty, the exception.
There could be no better season than the
present for the exercise of care in this
respect, and no worse one for the dis
covery of abundant opportunities for it.
The majority of those farmers who know
fla!/Ir?
LUO uccu iui buc uxoiua^o ui uucu uciuo,
and spend money liberally to keep their
crops in good health, will leave their
houses and yards undrained and endan
ger the health of their most precious
harvest?their children.
The Spring Fashions.
Overskirts, still much worn, are made
longer than ever, which partly means
that dresses without overskirts will soon
be the fashion again. Already misses'
dresses are seen without them, having
instead an arrangement of scarfs or
other trimmings. These are made after
the princease model, and show the very
long back, which is extended to form
the deep plait of the skirt. Other
models which promise to be popular for
spring costume are the Marguerite
t>61onaise and the loner Juive overdress.
Cream color will remain popular
through the coming season, and will be
brought out in the various fabrics in
three shades, very light, medium and
deep cream.
Black grenadines will be brought out
in a variety of designs, among which
that having bars with thin spaces be
tween will be popular. Black grena
dine, checked with silver or gold threads,
is to be one of the novelties, but it re
mains to be seen if it becomes a favorite.
Old fashioned organdies and lawns, in
border patterns, to be self-trimmed and
made up with flowers, are numbered
with what will be known as the " Cen
tennial " goods.
Coarse chip braids and straws, in the
cream tints, will furnish many of the
spring bonnets. These, it is believed,
will not be anv larcrer than those of the
present season. In their trimmings
Cashmere laces will play a conspicuous
part. The cream tint will pervade silks,
flowers, and other garniture used on
bonnets.
Metal galloons are to be replaoed in
the spring with Cashmere lace, which
will be worn alike on silk and woolen
fabrics.
Ecru silk nefc, after the style of the
old fashioned Grecian net, is being in
troduced for overdress as well as scat fs.
It oomes some twentv inches wide, and
costs from 82.50 to S3 per yard. An
other novelty for overdresses is given in
a black lace or net that oomes in alter
nate thick and thin blocks.
A new belt for evening wear, called
La Juive, is made of black velvet, em
broidered with real bullion that will not
tarnish; the gold and silver threads
form an effective pattern in long stitches
placed "closely together. These belts
are intended to be worn with quaint gold
or Bilver jewelry and black dresses.
Shoes for evening wear are made of

they are worn. They are ornamented
by two bows, one on the foot and the
other on the strap that passes over the
instep. They are also made with point
ed toes. 4
The Agricultural Exhibition.
The only prizes offered by the Cen
tennial authorities are medals and di
Eloma*. I* is suggested and hoped,
owever, sayB the Philadelphia Times,
that other parties will offer special cash
prizes for meritorious displays. The
agricultural bureau suggests that the
various cattle clubs, agricultural societies,
uiux^Lueii a tKu^uujLuuuuuy puuiiry ianciers,
a | fruit growers and seed merchants offer
such prizes for the best representations
in those several interests. It is also
recommended that cash prizes be offered
for the most masterly essays on agricul
tural subjects, veterinary science and
farriery, bee and fish culture, forestry
and pomology, and to the owners of
farms of special merit. Several so
0 cieties and private individuals have al
j ready acted upon thesesuggestions. The
8 ' Jersey cattle club will pay $1,000 to the
j exhibitor of the best herd of Jersey
j ! bred cattle; the Produce Exchange of
j1 Philadelphia, 8150 to the exhibitor of
| tbe best cheese; B. K. Bliss & Sons,
1: 3*200 for the best display of potatoes in
* I necks: D. Landreth & Sons, 8100 for
! the brgt display of vegetables at a stated
j pef!od; Henderson & Sons, S100 for the
best display of tomatoes at a stated
i period, and 850 for the best essay on
1 the cultivation of the cauliflower; Chief
i Landretli, $75 for the best essay on the
! subject of forestry, and the Pennsyl
j vania agricultural society proposes to
I distribute ?1,000 in special prizes. All
! animals taking premiums at the annual
! exhibition of the New York agricultural
society, on the twelfth of next Septem
ber, will be given free transportation by
tho society to and from the exposition,
together with care and support while
there, and should any of these animals
take Centennial prizes they will receive
! other special ones from the New York
j society.
The Merchant of Venice,
; A Venetian merchant who was lolling
I in the lap of luxury was accosted upon
! the rialto by a friend who had not seen
. him for many months. " How is this?"
i cried the latter, " when I last saw you

now you sail in your own gondola."
"True," replied the merchant, "but
since then I have met with serious losses
end been obliged to compound with my
creditors for ten ceuts on the dollar."

BATTLING WITH THE OCEAN.
Tillage of IIeroe??Men nod Women
Sarin* Lives?Bravery of r Little Girl.
The following account is quoted by
le London Times from the Stockholm
aper, the Dogens Nyheter, of a
Durageoas act performed by the people t
I the fishing hamlet of Oresswell, on a
le coast of Northumberland, in rescu- I
ig the crew of the Gustavo, Swedish I
teamer: ^
On the fifth of January last, at two in ^
tie morning, the steamer Gustave, Capt. t!
t. O. Anderson, went ashore, in cons&- 1
uence of the fog and the set of the P
orrent, at the little fishing village of a
!resswell, on the coast of Northumber- y
md, five English miles north of the
own of Newbiggin. The sea was t:
reaking heavily, and the vessel struck
iolently at every wave. The discharge s,
ipe burst very shortly, and the vessel t,

LXilbCU UOl^iOOJMj muvmq ?mw
rhich now broke over her. Two of the
oats were stove at the outset, and the
bird, which it was contrived to launch,
nd in which three men were lowered,
:aa injured, and carried away by a sea
nd cast ashore in the midst of the
reakers. Every one in this little vil
ige?men, women, children?hastened,
n witnessing the misfortune, down to
tie lifeboat station, and at three o'olook
tie lifeboat was got afloat, and manned
y thirteen out of the fifteen male in
abitants of the village. Only two old
shermen were now left on shore, and
tie women, who had to wade well into
ae water to get the lifeboat afloat.
After an hour's fruitless endeavor to
et on board, the lifeboat had to oome
a shore again, and a message was sent
> the nearest lifeboat station, Newbig
in, to fetch a rocket apparatus, with
men to attempt tue roeuuo ui uic ucx,
'he tide was rising, and at half-past four
le lifeboat was launched once more,
ad at last succeeded in getting along
de of the steamer and saving the crew,
everal of the men had by this time
een more or less injured by the break
rs, but all were able to get into the life
oat, and the last of all the master, who
it his fine and hitherto fortunate
leamerwith deep emotion. On shore
le shipwrecked men were received in
ie most friendly manner; whatever the
Dor people had they placed at their dis
osal; the crew were sheltered in the
3hermen's huts, and the owner of a
sighboring estate, Oresswell Hall, in
ited all the crew to dinner. Later in
ie day the crew's things were also
tved, but much injured by the water.
A touching incident of the shipwreck
aserves especial mention. The writer
t this heard of it on the following day,
id was attracted to the spot by cries lor
?lp and of pain. On hurrying to the
lace whence theories proceeded, he was
jceived by a venerable couple?the
lecrsman of the lifeboat and his wife.
It is poor Bella," said he; "she was
ot satisfied with being in the water like
le others; at night she was wet through
>r six hours, and has now got one of
Br attacks of cramp on returning from
ewbiggin." It was this little pale fish
r girl who, wet through on a cold night
i January, had rushed along the beach,
ading through several bays by the way,
id at length had reached the next life
oat station to obtain assistance for the
lipwrecked people, and to accomplish
lis feat she had been compelled to go
>n English miles. Who those ship
recked people were was unlmown to
3r; to what country they belonged was
1 the same to her; it was a question of
iman life that might be rescued by her
eans. X opened tne lamiiy Jtsioie, ine
ile ornament of that unassuming room,
id there read the name "Isabella
rown, born 1853." On the wall hangs
silver medal, awarded to the father for
,ving life. Everything in that little
unlet boro witness to a long straggle
gainst the ocoan.
Fortunate the country which possesses
en and women like those who on that
y January night flew to the rescue of
te Swedish Bteamer Gustave and its
ew.
How he Feels.
The Rev. Mr. Lee asked before the
lymouth Church (Brooklyn) advisory
)mmittee whv there had not been a
^luxitary investigation by the church of
le scandal on the strength of the sup
:>sed new testimony. Henry Ward
eecher answered that none of the al
ged testimony could be traced back to
lything. "You can't tunt a stench;

3wn hunting every leech, every worm,

n tired of men who make newspapers,
id the men who read them. I am tired

et I am going to bear it all. I am

The Black Hills.
An interesting discussion took plaoe
the United States Senate on the bill
tending the jurisdiction of the United
ates courts over the Indian reserva
>ns. The principal object of the bill,
developed by the debate, was to vest
e United States courts with power to
inish, by fine and imprisonment, the
trsons who are now in the Black Hills
nil try in violation of the treaty stipu
fcions with the Sioux. The bill was
troduced by a Western senator?Mr.
igaUs, of Kansas?and has the sanction
the judiciary committee. Other
extern senators, however, exhibited
tense opposition to it, and argued that
was a matter physically impossible to
event or to ponish the trespassing on
e Black Hills country. They held that
I the power of the government could
>t restrain the adventurous spirits who,
the number of thousands, are pros
icting for gold in that region. It was
so charged that the Sioux were entitled
no consideration, as thev had violated
e most solemn treaty obligations. The
ther startling statement was also made
at Congress -wo old be called upon to
ee the question whether it would ap
ropriate several million dollars to feed
ie Sioux.

THREE-CARD MONTE.
. Noted Player Telia a Reporter all Abont
the Game and the Manner In Which It la
Played.
" So you don't know anything abont
hree-card monte, eh ? Now, just wait
minute and I'll show you something,
lere are three business cards, all alike.
'11 take the plain side of them, and on
tris one I'll mark a large round spot
dth a pen. Now, watch close. I take
bis card so, and place it on the table.
?his is the one with the mark on it. I
iut the two others on either side of it,
nd you can turn it up now and look for
our self."
The reporter did so. Sure enough,
be middle card had the spot.
"Now, again, I take up this card
lowly, and throw it over in the place of
be other, and transfer the one on the
jft to the plaoe of the one on the right,
nd the marked one is now on the left
istead of being in the middle, isn't it?"
The reporter thought that such was
be case, and remarked that there was no
oubt about it.
"Piok it up and see," said Slippery
fed.
The reporter turned over the card. It
ras a blank. He also turned the mid
le, with a like result, and found the
larked spot on the last -card to the
ight.
" There," said Ned, "you see if you'd
ad $1,000 bet on that, you'd been left,
rouldn't you ?
"I'll Bhowyou," said he. "I take
bis card with the spot on it, and bending

tirowing it out, but I merely shove it
uickly down, and throw out the next
ard to it. You keep your eye on the
ne thrown out, thinking it is the one
rhich is marked, or in a regular way,
tie ace, and there you get left again,
row let me show you." And in a few
loments it was so well explained that
le reporter had hardly any trouble in
icking up the proper card. Then the
perator smutted the oorner of a card a
ttle and gave an illustration of that
roceeding.
When all this was fully explained the
sporter prooeeded to get some informa
ion concerning the mode of living by
iese operators.
"You see," said Ned, "I used to be
retty well up in the business, although
was young in years. Red John first
ot hold of me in New York, where I
ras playing marbles on the Btreet, and
e, thinking I would make a good sub
ict, started out with me. I suppose
've attonded nearly every county fair
1 the country with that fellow. He
rat had me into business as a cajaper,
nd I worked into nis nan as wen, j, can
all you. He always whacked up, too,
ou bet. AlwayaJionor among thieves,
ou know, aud honor among the chaps
'e were, too. Had to be, or we couldn't
lave ran the business. Bat finally I
oncladed to go in on my own hook; so
ne season I left New York in July, to
rork ap the farmer fairs from that time
n. I had two cappers, and right good
sllows they wore. They would drive
le in hundreds of greenies, and then I
sed to soak 'em. Tell you how we os^
j do it. We'd go into a fair ground,
ad get license from the officers to run a
jwelry case. Receiving permission,
re'd set ap a jewelry ca3e with a little
rass jewelry in it, and nnder pretense
f shouting for sales brought up the
rowd. Soon as we got them together,
at came a board, and down I went on
le ground, pretending to have a little
in all to myself. Pretty soon a conn
7 fellow would sit down near me and
sb.;
???What you got thar ?'
" Of oourse I answered him in a way
> lead him on.
"' Oh, just a little game with some
in in it.'
" His curiosity being excited, his neit
equest was to see a little of it, and as
tiat was just what I wanted, I drove my
pening wedge by throwing the cards a
ttle, letting him pick out the ace every
ime. When conviaced that I had him
n my string, I remarked:
"Boss, I'll bet you a quarter you
an't pick ont the ace.'
"4 Done,' says he, and he threw down
twenty-five oent shinplaster.
" He wins, of course; I allow him to
in again, and again. Then he feels
lated ; puts down $10, and wins again;

" I just have. About as lively a time

Agriculture in China.
Chinese agrioulture is of the moE
primitive kind. A one handled plow

drawn by a oow to which it is harneased
But the most work is done with th
tined hoe of large size, and the earth i
thoroughly prepared for planting an
sowing. .^very foot of available groun
is worked like a garden. The side plai
of the Yangtse, embracing an area c
about three hundred by six hundre
miles, and with an estimated populatio
of twenty-five to thirty millions of soulf
is one of the most fertile sections on th
globe; it has been worked thousands c
years, and by means of thorough irrig*
tion and fertilization the strength of tb
soil is fully maintained, yielding tw
orops a"year, almost invariably in aBunc
ance. Eice'and cotton are the principf
products, but some wheat and othc
cereals ajo also grown, a variety of veg<
tables and the various fruits of sem
tropical regions. The Chinese get a

Bnylng a Farm.
When business is depressed and time
are hard, city people are apt to wis
themselves settled in the country, an
seriously think of buying a farm. It i
the universal panacea for pinched poci
ets and metropolitan misfortunes. Le
a merchant fail, and the first thing h
propose! is to save money enough out c
the wreck to buy a farm. If a broke
suspends, if a financier's pretty bul
bles break or float away in the air, if
lawyer's clients withdraw their patronag
and leave him without briefs?in shoii
if anybody experiences a business col
lapse, he immediately turbshis thought
countrvward. and as the last and unfaiJ
ing resource proposes to buy a farm
It is assumed that anybody can run
farm, as anybody can edit a newspapei
and it is also taken for granted that
farm is a sort of horse that not onl;
takes care of himself but feeds an
clothes his rider. It does not seem b
occur to any of these men that farmini
is a business requiring special know!
edge, experience, and skill for succest
ful management, and that the averag
city man is quite as much out of plao
and at his wits' ends on a farm, after h
has bought it, as he would be at thehea
of a manufactory or in command of
man-of-war.

Gath writes: One of the most agre<

Dr. Ninian Pinckney, who stands secon

pleasure of attending a dinner given b
this hospitable Epicurus. A turkey r<

markable size, ana 01 navor nut
by the most delicate capon. Before n
pat the knives into this dish for Divei
another turkey was brought up to th
door, and theprooess of feeding him ws
achieved.
Fourteen full, large walnuts, whoL
were put in the wonderful fowl's bil
and slipped down the gullet bv the fij

down, the turkey looked up with or
eye in a baffled sort of way, as if woi
dering whether he was assisting
comedy or going to execution. At ti
third walnut he turned uj> both h
eyes, as if now assured that it was nc
the intention to kill him by starvatioi
At the fifth walnut, his inquisitivenef
was unbounded, and he wore the look<
a man who had been reading a thrillin
story, and had suddenly bumped upo
the words: "To be continued in or
next." Continued it was; and, after tb
seventh walnut, Sir Turkey gave up th
conundrum, closed his eyes resignedl]
and when the fourteenth wainuc na
slipped down his gullet, and they wei
all rattled by the hand, so as to produc
from the bird's interior a sound as of

expression was plainly to be reac

crowd in front of a Paris restaurant, am

his own life inside. It appeared that h
had installed himself in a "cabinet,
and ordered a regal repast, dwelling
with unction on each course. His repas
occupied a couple of hours, and whe;
coffee, cognac and cigars were fumishe<
toward the close of it, he informed th
waiter that he would require nothinj
else, and he need not return until h
rang for him. About fifteen or twent
minutes afterward?the time to sip hi
cognac and smoke a cigar?the report c
a firearm was heard proceeding from hi
cabinet On opening the door he wa
found lying on the sofa dead, with
