The harrow was faithfully ap­plied when the young wheat was four to six inches high. Many of Mr. Hinman's neighbors, who witnessed the operation, were very free to express their opinion that the wheat would be ruined.

In storing roots for winter feeding, "never use the house cellar for the pur­pose, for the smell that will continually arise from them and prevade the entire house will not only be unpleasant but may lead to sickness. A barn cellar is the most appropriate place, though we have kept large quantities out of doors, in mounds made for the purpose. We select a high piece of ground, on which

A London letter to the Newark. JQyily Advertiser says: "London presents the appearance of a city in the course of be­ing rebuilt, tn all directions houses are being torn down for the purpose, of widening existing streets, or makuigjiew ones, or creating squares, or clearing sites for , new blocks of shops, hotels*'or private residencies.

He said thAt when E6 engaged in the smug­gling it was a common practice-for mas­ters of' vessels,to smuggle goods from Europ&in porta Jind selCthem here at a great profit. He further said that the profit from smuggling .was one of the in­ducements heldsOut to officers when they were" employed, and itiat shipowners were constantly looking ta them for smuggled presents. •

A '^Merchant" forwarded $100, con­fessing that he had been engaged in un­dervaluing goods. ;

An "Ex-Customs Officer" sent a con­science-offering of $50, because he had got dresses'for his wife, cigars, liquors and other articles from the ocean steam­ers free of duty.

One of the earliest of the annoymous letters received is as follows:

" My husband and self visited Europe not long ago, and I bought several hun­dred dollars' worth of goods in Paris and London to bring home 'with me. When we sailed from Liverpool for New York one of my friends told me that I wbuld have to pay the government a big sum on fny dresses. I thought it wouid be nice to cheat Uncle Sain, I did not know what right he had to make me pay him for my clothes. Accordingly I got one of my befriends to hide pgae of the articles in her trunk among her old clothes. . I also placed some in the bot­tom of my husband's trunk unbeknown to hinji, and . the remainder I hid in my own trunk. When we arrived a polite officeraapproached me and.-^aid, 'Did

ingupon them and instructing the agents, receiving visitors, and talking with gov­ernment officials and lawyers. It was one of the most amusing sights of all Paris, to sit in the private office, a per­mit for which, under pretence of some business or other, was comparatively easy to obtain, and watch that helpless artist maneuver. When the great states­man's back was toward him he went for bis hair; when the profile was present­ed, for the.nose; when full front face was turned upon him he had tbe most hopeless task of all. Every one knows what a Frenchman's face is under excite­ment, all manner of extraordinary con­tortions imaginable; and the poor fellow sometimes threw down his steel with the most woe-begone idiotic stare that a lean, lank, cadaverous, long-haired, grizzled-bearded, large-eyed, half-starvea dog of a sculptor could put on, till.it verily seemed as though tbe poor fellow, if be had had a thing on his stomach, would have been absolutely seasick in the whirling and heaving that he was forced to submit to. From present appearances, however, the bust will be a complete success, a $ picture true as life, of the

He lifted the lid of my trunk and just looked inside, but did no.lt discover anything. After­ward I was given a paper to sign. I did wrong; I know, but I was told that almost everybody acted like me."

Accompanying the letter was a fifty-dollar greenback.

There' appears lit­erally n.o end to the rebuilding and re­construction of the metropolis. One set of improvements is no sooner finished than another is begun. In ten years London will probably be more beautiful in every quarter than Paris. Already many foreigners consider London, on the whole, preferable to the butterfly me­tropolis of France, but when the vast changes now progressing are parEly ac-

distinguished politeness, and the*,com­pany around the fire made room for him. But the automaton was not to be won to conversation. He walked up and down the room contemplating his own graces, and presently exclaimed, commandingly: "Landlord, I want supper!". Supper Was 9pread and the stately youth devoured it. Then he re­sumed his, wjnlk, answered not a word to the remarks of the fireside circle of lawyers and judges, and Jackson grew more and more wrathful. " Landlord. I want to go to bedl" was the next de­mand ; and he added, " I want a room to myself." Jackson represented that house was full, and there was no single room to be had; the young fellow waa not to be moved. Jackson disappeared, and shortly returned, announcing that the guest's room was ready. The two went off through the front door, all the companv following, and stopped—at the oora-crib. through the cracks of which a light was shining. " There's your room,' said Jackson. "Do you wish to insult me, sir?" "No infeult at all, sir. You vowed you would not sleep in a room with any one, and demanded a room by yourself. There it is, sir." " I vow I will not sleep there," said the dandy. " Bv the Eternal you shall!" exclaimed Jackson, and grabbing the youth, he sent him at one toss into the crib and locked the door. And there he staid all night, and in the morning he was released and dismissed breakfastless by the impetuous Jackson. This, is a tale related by an ancient lady of Bogersville.

An Odd Little Story of Napoleon III. It was a good many years, ago, and all

Paris was ravine about the exquisite beauty and wondertnl voice o£ a young girl who had just left the Conservatory to become not long after and continue to this day one of the brightest ornaments of the lyric stage. She was honored with an imperial command to sing at the Elysees, where she fascinated the Em­peror, who, sending for her, favored her with an audience in the presence of the brilliant assembly, praised her singing and asked her in what wayjie could be

»of assistance to her. The girl's only thought was that this interview, which so distinguished her, was so soon to come to an end, and stammeringly and with downcast eyes, she said, "Sire, there is one thing you could do for me, but to asfcit of you would be too presump­tuous." The Emperor encouraged her. "Come, what can I do to serve you?" he repeated. "Sire," saicf she, "talk to me' some more." The Emperor never was a brilliant conversationalist, and on this occasion had beenrather le-?s elegant and witty than usual. Not understand­ing that she was in earnest, he took it into his head that the brilliant young prima donna was quizzing him, ana thereafter she was al^j&in his bad
