replied, rather abstractedly. - "It has

When Bosie opened her eyes again,
in bewilderment that slowly grew to
dull, Intolerable pain, she steadfastly
refused to answer the questions that
were asked her. " J. wan to oe aione,

A nice sleep ! What a mockenr

Bosie had been shy of speaking of her

And poor little Basle's mind wandered

But if you imagine that the .Prussians
stand before these loopholes yon are
mistaken. They sit on chairs. In an
other house there were no chairs they
had to sit on planks; but, to make the
benches easier for the rotund sentinels,
they had got the pillows from the bed
in the next room, and therewithal made
cushions to repose upon." v There is
another story of a loophole. 'It was a

that county : ' -
A man named Barton, with several
claiming to hail from Chicago,
has recently been detected in carrying
people by means of forged deeds to
peOpie VJ UICOJIO V uUD w
property which was not his own! His
plaa has been to go to the 'real estate
records in different counties and ascer
tain the names and residence of owners
if nnn-Kwilpnt lanriH. siomatnrea of the
owners, and have a confederate person
.fA aid nwriArn for the nnrrjose of ac
knowledgement before notaries. This
accomplished, ne was reaay so sen w
any one who offered to buy. As- the
records showed the title to be in him,
this was not difficult, as he undoubted
ly sold at hard-times prices. . One of
his operations in this county has just
come to light A single lady named
Wheaton, of Philadelphia, owns a half
section of desirable timber-land in the
northern part of the Town of Volinia,
which different persons had tried in
vain to buy of the real owners and
when the alleged transfer to Burton
appeared among the published list of
transfers, Burton had plenty of appli
cations for the land, thus enabling him
to sell at good figures. Mr. Joseph
Warren of Decatur, purchased 160
acres of it, paying $L200 down and
giving a mortgage for as much more,
which the swindler came near dispos
ing of to a banker in Kalamazoo. A
man from Allegan county was victimiz
ed for a portion or the whole of the
other quarter section. . These parties
have been . cutting the : timber this
winter, and hauling it to the saw-mill
at Decatur. It is stated that Warren
has taken measures to stop a legal
transfer of the outstanding mortgage.

More Ocean Steamers.

Six immense steamers are being con
structed at Belfast, which will consti
tute a new line between this port and
Liverpool. The pioneer of the lot, the
Oceanic, is nearly finished. She is 440
feet in length, and built mainly of iron,
with engines of 3,000 horse-power, and
capacity of 6,000 tons burden. Her
length is divided by six iron bulk
heads, reaching from the keel to the
main deck, and making seven compart
tnonfa whiiOi am fire proof and air
tight She has four masts, they being
tubes of hollow iron, ana naving
strength to withstand the strain of
large area of canvas. . Her spars are
most accurately" balanced, and her
model calculated to afford speed, so
that ..an wi.ru ah a denrived of the use
of two engines, she would be able to
move as rapidly as a clipper-built ship.

Early Rose Potatoes Stand at the Head
of the List.
The following, from the last Country
Gentlemon, is in accordance with the
universal testimony of ' all potato
growers who have tested the different
varieties now cumvatea :
The 21st of May last after planting
corn, I had about an acre of ground
that was reserved lor the caooage pioi,
a niece on which potatoes were grown
the year previous ; and, having a few
small potatoes 01 tne x.ariy xvone u me
cellar after the spring sales and plant-
tli.t T nonsidAred too
small for any purpose except to feed
the pigs, eonciuaea te try a- byjn
ment with them. I therefore drew a
few light furrows about three inches
deep across the patch, dropped the po
tatoes one m a place, two sua a uui
feet apart, in the furrow?, then covered
th Am with thA nlow they were twice
cultivated and howed with but little ex
pense, as the ground was warm when
planted, and June was the month of
severe drought with us in tnis section.
July gave us more rain, while in Au
gust we were abundantly supplied
with copious showers, ana me res 01
the season the rains were timely and
sufficient for the wants of growing
crops. The first of October the piece
of about one quarter of an acre was
dug ; the yield, at the rate of over 300
bushels per acre, was the largest grown
