A railroad oar, with a pack of cards;
Theycalled "hcar " "loYar," • and "there" was

And they always spoke to each other 04
For sporta there are. booth good. and poor,
Professional and amateur,
Where railroad trains are running,
They wanted a fourth at a poker hand.
Three were they, and they were one short,
And they asked a stranger if he'd be' the and
To try a,little game for sport,
For strangers- there are where men abound,
And you'll always find a stranger,round
Where railroads trains are Funning.
Vim streamer didn't know the game,

To him the cards were all the same—
" They was to all at first he'd beam I"
And the sports laughed land tt,oct dealt the pack,
And gave him four queens and a thick legged-

As they will when trainare funning.
And then they bet on the poker hand,
And fattened the pot to a 0000dly pile,
And they asked the strangerif hs wuuld aand,

And the stranger him, aa strangere do

And then in a solemn, breathless huah,
The three sports showed what they had got;

And the stranger gobbled that obese pot.

Her Eventful Life Apparently Drawing
illapidirto
The Queen has invited the Empress
Eugenie to pay another Viet to
Scotland this autumn, and, it is
probable; that she will occupy Aber-
geldie Castle for a shor ttime in Octo-
ber, after the Prince and Pnuoess of Walee
have left for the south, soy wa London paper.,
Acoordineto the European gossip's. the 'life
of the ex -Empress Eugenie is drawing
very near to a close. Were it otherwise
there would be etill greater growl& for
euipriee. If the ex•Enapress' lite nets not
been a long one, at least it hae been
crowded with events exoiting and sorrowful
after a manner unpsoalleled in modern
history. Saab writers as Irving and
Merimee have presented to us the little'
child in frooks, andas well 'the graoefu)
girl in her teens, uuconseious of the fate
which the future held in store for her ---
grand and gloomy. Splendid as was her
nareer during the second empire -so fair
and so familiar in all ite features that the
sewing girls of -Paris put aside their
braziers of charcoal and resolved . to live
and become empreeses-it was by no
means one of unalloyed -enjoyment. Her
life was spent under the aim of -the. assas-
sin, or she was made the target of foes etill
more merodess-of paragraphers sand of
polemics; who did not shrink from libelling
with impartial maliguity the sovereign; the
wife and the mother. Even about the days
when the second empire was • crumbling
into: the abyss, history has twined agar -
land of diehonoring invention, and we have
the Empreas dedlaring "This is my little:
war'!" or disimseing the faithful .4 the
Tuileries with the flippant adieu: "My
friends, we have played out the farce l'
when, all the time, she was engaged with
the crowding- affairs of a disorganized state,
or trembling for her husband and sons
or flying for her life from a fate. Worse
than that. of the Prineess Lamballe. .
The life of the ex -Empress Eugenie since
the diaster of Sedan has been mournful in
the extreme. The crumbling of the fabric
of the second empire was followed by the
death of her husband, and to thia•suo-
needed closely the death of her mother
and the taking off of her only child, the
gallant and ill-fated Prince Louis. Since
he fell, thrust through with Zulu spears,
and the hopes of a Bonepartist restoration
were smitten• by the . shook, she • has
remained • a Mother of sorrow, Mourning
for her dead with a sincerity that malignity
could not impeach, and that has acieuired
for her -the respect and pity of the world.
Rarely, if ever, in the world's history, has
so fair a noonday been followed by so blesek
a night. That the end of her days is -near
at hand no one who bas noted the candio
tion of the ex-Emprees' health eau 'doubt.
She will go down to the grave a woman
misunderstood and misrepresented, to her
generation a flirt, a fanatic and a dictator
of noolieh fashione, and to the few Who
have read the lines of her strong dbartiOter.

An Electric French Girl.
'M. Arago, Dr. Cholet and M. Vida
Meunier are responsible for the followitig
extraordinary account of an electric girl.
The girl, a peasant of 13, called 4 ;gangue
cl Win, was, M. Meunier tells us .in his
weekly mientifie article, working in a Me
-
tory, when a small table next to her was
violently upset without ostensible cause.
Subsequently, in the presence of M.
Meunier, 'she sat on a chair held by several
people, when the chair was hurled front"
their. hands, This was tried more .than
once, with like results, the chair being in
one ease broken when its holders were
.strtong enough not to let it go. When
tion from the ground wasprodueed by
glass- none of these effects occurred. The
only discomfort which the girl ever feels is
a pain in the hollow of the elbow. Before
a commission ot engineers none of theae
experiments succeeded, but ibis alleged in
explanation that the electric; properties of
her system have thro•ugh repeated dis-
charges lost their foree-e,nd finally bet:tome

Start the Plough.
WIltit as soon op, the grain is 'staked,' or

all land intoned Mr fall gran 'next Sspring
is turned over, Some of ohr best farmers
think that land for corn and ,potatoee had
beat be ploughed in the fall. This is not,
however, our experience; but it maybe BO.
On the east eide of the Mesissippi, above
the Falls of St. Anthony, probably on many
farms, where the soil is light, west of the
river, fall ploughing may anewer a good
purpose for corn and potatoes, and it is not
for us to say that fall ploughing for oorn
and potatoes would not answer a good pur:
pole all over the Northwest. We tried it
and failed, but that is not a reason that
others 'should. But we all know that land
to be ecoupied with wheat, oats, rye, barley
and buckwheat next spring should be
ploughed this fall, and we expect by the
time that it is done it will be pretty late
to plough the corn land, even it it was
advisable to do so. A great cresul

farmers of the Northwest are fully alive to
this fact, and always plough their land in a
good substantial manner, and because this
is BO is one of the reasons they are blessed
with auoh bountiful harveets. VTe consider
it, at all events, exoeltent. advice to keep

Farmers Should:Read Newspapers. •
- Farmers who do not read newspapers or
current articles on•agrioultural topics, who
do not discuss farnaing interests with their
neighbors, but rely chiefly on what they
have learned of old prosthesis and methods,
" picked up " from time to tithe, " because
they couldn't help it," are not expected to
be progressive, or to take pleasure • in or
derive pleasure from their profession. It is
not enough to observe nature and know
bow to do • things, but how to compass
necessary operations to the.best advantage.
Many a man loses annually by failing to
'possess and nee good implements to pre-
pare the ground properly' for cropping,
to plantosow, drill and cultivate at the
beet time and in the best manner; in short,
by not employing every proper meana to
improve on old habits and practices. For
example, it has been customary to sow fod-
der corn broadcatt, or to drill it thickly,
and it has remainedlor notidena experiment
to verify the fact that fodder so grown is
watery and has but little nutrition in it;
and that the best way to grow it is to drill
in double rows, running the' corn through
two tubes moven inches apart, with a width
of thirty -nye inches between thee° double
rows to allow room', for cultivation. Corn
thus treated' grows stouter, matures more
perfectly, and is thne-worth more per acre,
for all utilitarian purposes. So' it is with
other , popular practices. Many of them
'are unplailosophioal and will not endure the
test of eiperienoe.-Cincinnati Conimercial

There is no other farm stock that me,y

oboes,. The complaine of dogs and their
destructive ravages in the flocks is no doubt
true, but if more sheep were -kept there
would be fewer doge. lois something like
the weeds on a farms If there were no
crops there would be nothing but weeds,
but we raise crops and the weeds are kept
in subjection. just so the dogs would be
kept in subjection if every farm had its
flock. It is worth while considering if it
would not be better to displace some of the
pigs for twice as many sheep, for two sheep
can be kept *here one pig is. There would
be a tender ' lamb for the ' :farther's
table, a luxury now unknown; a good,
sweet, wholesome mutton ; lanibe, to, to
sell at a good price, and a..score of fleeces
bringing in twice as many dollars. A neigh-
bor has a flock of sheep on his farm; but it
belongs to his daughter, who °WV/El for
them and looks a ter the lamb's, and hits

eaten with the grain in place of hay. It is

times rats get in and destroy the grain.
Besides t ey aoil the straw with their feet

straw may, however, be fed separately at
any time in the year, and it makes excel-

Take stone vessels and pack the eggs in, it
doesn't matter which position or end is up;

add orie pint of salt and one pint of slaked
lime. Use fresh egge and wash them before

Sheep in orchards are better than swine
to eat fallen apples infested with insects,
as they are more thorough and vigilant in
picking up, and devouring all that fall;
they do not, like swine, leave the 'mien
and wormy ones and take the best but
they eat all alike, and they never root up
the ground of the orchard.
If a barrel is filled with ran' water, and
some finely decomposed hen manure put
in it frau time to tinae, the mixture will
have a very 'stimulating effect on bills of

Although analysis does not indicate it,
coal ashes have % great practical value in
growing fruit and vegetables. They ohange

beds of coal ' ashes are invariably healthy.
Squesth vines grow with lees liability. of

grain crops, but in tho. orchard they are
almost as good as a dressing of manure.

father went out to visit him, and tele-
graphed home to his mother he wag better;
but through some error in transmitting it
was made to read that he was dead. The
mother and relativea at Yorker were
nearly frantic with grief. A gloom wan
oast over the village, relatives from dietent
places were summoned, the ohuroh was
draped witli kindly hands and friends, and
a large number of neighbore came to meeb
the corpse on the arrival of the train at
Harrowsmith. But they were most
agreeably disappointed, for the first person
to etep off the train was Dr. Cannon, who
imparted the cheering intelligence that his
son was much better. The joy of the
mother was as overpowering as her
despondency was a short time previously.

TORY Island, off which the British gun-
boat Weep was wreeked and fifty-two
persons drowned, on the 23rd inst., lies off
Horn head, a bold promontory whieh rises
some 800 feet above the sea on the north-
' west coast of Donegal. It is opposite the
inlet known as MoSwyne's Gun Cove,
whioh derives its; name from a curious
cavern scooped oub of the intensely hard
traprook by the fary of the waves, whioh
rush pastTory Island to .break on the
mainland cost. Into this cavern the surge
rushes with extreme violence, producing
during a atorm a roar whistle in earlier days
was described as louder than a discharge of
artillery. Of late years, however, the sea
; has worn the cave Bo wide that the
report of MeSwyne'e Gun is greatly
diminished. Tory Island lies about
seven miles northwest of the cove. It is some
three miles long from northwest to ,south-
east, lout quite narrow, and its isbores are
deeply ihdented by the waves. In old
times it had a considerable pepulation
drawn there by the security afforded by 'Hit
isolation in 1tbe stormy Bea. The ruins of
dwellings, churches and crosees are found
•buried deep in the sand. A round tower
also attests the ancient importance of the
place, but at present the place bas verY few
inhabitants'. There is a lighthouse on the
island, with a tower 63 feet high, rising 125
feet e.bove the eea. The Wasp was a steam
gunboat of 465 tons and 470 horse -power.
She carried four gums, and was employed,

latest navy list that We have Befte, the
officers of 'the ill-fated veseel. were Lieu-
tenant and Commander John D. Nicholls
and Lieut Frederiok A. Warden.
