length becoming impressed with her earnestness they consented to follow her to the grave which had a small at Ihe head of it on which was inscribed Emma 1873 The men found some near by and immediately commenced unearthing the coffin At length dirt was removed and the cof fin laid buru They then forced open the lid of the wooden burial when a young girl between nine and ten years of age rose from lha She was immediately assisted from the grave and seeing the young lady Miss Myers caught hold of her dress calling her Mum Mena She also claimed one of the men who had unearthed her from bcr living

as it that the world may have gunpowder You can easily guess lhat meu go about quiet Jy and never laugh You know that gunpowder is very dangerous in a gun or near a fire bul perhaps you dont know that it ia equally dangerous all through the process A powder mill is a fearful place to visit and strangers are very seldom allowed oue They are built far from any town iu the woods and each branch ot the work is done in a separate building These houses are quite a distance from each other so that if one blows up it wont blow up the rest Then the lower parts of Hie build ing are made very along while Ihe roofs are very lightly set on so that if it explodes only he roof will suf fer But in spite of every care sometimes a whole settlement ot the powder mills will go off almost iii an instant and every vestige of the toil of years will be swept awny in a second But though yon feel like hold ing your breath to look at it His really an interesting process to see Itis made perhaps you know of

all political action or dis cussion CEO L Master as It Might Be It is a well known the farm products of this country arc not in any largo proportion what may be called the firstclass and that they do not command a high price in the market Vast quanti ties of fruit are annually sold at ruinous because tho quality is so poor The same is true of all farm products Fur from being an exception to this rule the hay crop is a striking the im mense and needless loss caused simply and only by the careless ness and neglect of its producers Compared with the amount of hay out there is little which is really ot first quality There is a good deal that is very good and a groat deal more that is miserably poor Prob ably a rate article would stand first in point of quantity pro a fourth rate next then a second grade and last and least of all what would rank as strictly first class in point of quality Now this ought not to be so and it need not be so It is in the power of ev ery man who raises this crop to ob tain at least a yood of hay If his land is suitable for it there is little trouble iu obtaining be in a house by itself but tho house where they aro mixed is Ihe first terrible one In this au immense millstone rolling round and round in au iron bed and un der tbe stone are put the three fear ful ingredients of gunpowder There they are mixed and ground together This is a very dangerous operation because if the stone comes in contact with Ihe iron bed it is very apt to strike fire and the merest suspicion of a spark would set off the whole The materials aro spread three or four deep in the bed tho wheel which goes by water power is started and every man leaves the place The door is the machinery is left to do its terrible work alone When it has run long enough the mill is slopped and the men come back This operation leaves tho powder in hard lumps or The next house is where the cakes aro broken into grains and of course is quite as dangerous as the last one But tho men cant go away from this are obliged lo attend to it every moment and you may be sure not a laugh or joke is everheard within its walls Every one who goes in has to take off his hoots and put on rub bers because oue grain of the dan gerous powder crushed by the boot would explode the whole in un instant The floor of this house is covered with and is made perfectly black by the dust of the der It contains a set of selves each one the other through which the powder is sift ed and an immense ground and la boring mill where it is ground up while tbc men shovel il in wood en shovels The machinery makes a groat deal of noise but tho men are silent as in tho other houses Tho reckless crashing of the ma chinery even seems to give greater through they drove her from r work The heroic girl now 4 Voun Heroine Thomas Velf and with a family of small children settled iu this county something more than a year ago and being poor they af many hardships erected a small dwelling and cleared a few acres of land but they were in a wilderness ten miles from neighbors A few weeks ago the father and mother left their family consisting of a girl aged twelve vears one aged nino years and two other children aged respectively three years and thirteen months on a trip to the settlement toget a cow and bring in some potatoes to plant After the parents had been gone a few he house took fire and tho oldest girl immediately rushed to the root with not being to remove she could do nothing to flames which gained rapidly spreading ou the inside ol the roof until burst he turned her attention to saving her brothers and sisters Coming to the door of the building she found that the child next to her own age got out of the house bringing the baby with her but the little yearold had crouched under a in the further corner of the room There being no chamber floor the fire was drop ping from the burning roof be tween the child door and when asked to come out it refused to go so saying I am safe the fire dont drop here Our lit tlo heroine hesitated only a mo ment but rushing through the fall ing embers brought the little one to a sale place both Laving their clothes somewhat burnt But now comes the hardest part of tlie task before her Scantily clothed and with no food she took the babe in her arms and with the other child ren started upon tho trail for the settlement After going a few miles she encountered a rapid stream swollen by he spring ruins so that in fording it came up to her arm pits She first carri ed the babe across and then the lit tle and lastly half led and half carried her older sister through the water o he other bank Three times during the re mainder of he day she struggled across the swollen streams in her way until night set iu the deep forest surrounding her Cold wet and hungry she sought a place to camp und by good fortune found an old camp left by the Indians upon which about onehalf of the tool still remained Upon this she placed her little flock and then col pine boughs and made a rude bed Placing the little one in the middle the heroic girl stripped off her dress and spread the children then covered them with boughs to keep them from the chilly night sir and sat down beside them lo through that long cold night comforting the little one when it cried and speaking words of cheer to the elder one The long dreary hours of night dragged slowly by and at the first peep of day she resumed her toilsome march and bad nearly reached the first bottler when she met hor pa rents An elder and a wiser head might have found an easier way out of this dilemma but we feel certain that no one could have acted braver or have endured more than the little daughter of Thomas River Pilot RATES Space t Iw One square Two squares Three rs a i

in a Berlin bouse married iliss Cle Maguer the daughter of a banker and one of the most ele gant women of Berlin He then became a Christian and out of gratitude to his early protector the Renter he adopted the name by which he is now to the world After his marriage he removed to Paris where he com the real aim of his life His first attempt at obtaining rapid news was that of employing car rier to and from places where there was uo telegraphic communication At time be was very noor but to his credit be said he had nil along supported his poor old mother who never knew how he had to struggle to do it but bought lie was getting rich In 1857 he left Paris for London where he devoted himself assidu to getting first and very soon by bard work by the number of liis agencies by the cables be

forerunner of the Italian war six hours before the Governments of Europe were no of it In 1801 lie sold out for and when the Govern ment of Eugland took possession of the telegraph in 186S he had

devote as much attention to they are com to devote to their avocations they cannot read anything Bnt this is a great mistake II the books we finish at a sitting which always do us the most good Those we devour in the odd moments half a dozen at a more satisfaction and are more thoroughly digested than those we make a particular effort to read The men who have made their mark in the world have gen been the men who have in boyhood formed the habit of read ins at every available moment whether for five minutes or five hours It is of reading rather than the time at our command that helps us on the road to learning Many of the most cultivated per sons whose names have been fa mous as students have given only two or three hours a day to their books It we make use of spare minutes iu the midst of

to his land For instance his land maybe wet and cold with bog or grass of miserable quality Now if the owner will turn over the turf and let it rot meanwhile obtaining a crop of corn oats or some other grain and then seed down with clover red top or eveu fowl meadow grass ho will not only greatly improve the quality ol his hay but also increase the quantity Even timothy can be sown ou wet land and lor a few years produce good crops Tho tendency is of course for the old wild grass to supplant the improved kinds al though the clover being natural for wet lands is said to hold its own a great while even iu poor land If this course is pursued it i probably that the process will have i to be repeated every four or five years in order to maintain a first rate quality of hay as we said above is the easiest and as far as are concern ed without any regard to future comfort or profit the most profit able method to be pursued But if the larmer looks lo the future as all men ought and endeavor to pro vide not only for tho present but also for the future he will naturally desire some method of improvement which shall be suc in its present results and also be of permanent value to him self and to his farm This method is found in ti system of thorough drainage and high manuring It is objected that these things are too expensive Remember that rthing of value is It costs to improve it but the im provement is a perpetual benefit livery year it pays something to wards the expense Suppose a case A farmer has con ten acres of good laud with the exception of being cold and wet Because it is wet it ia cold and is wet and cold both it will produce only a very inferior quality suitable lor other crops All that he does with Iho land is to mow it once a year lie obtains about a ton acre well cured it is worth about fourteen dollars The land he about fifty dollars per acre Now let him dig large ditches to take oil tbe surplus water j let him ex pend in this way two hundred dol lars on V thrown out of the ditches will bo worth at least fifty put in to the barnyard for compost This will leave one hundred and fifty dollars as the cost ofthe improve ment of the tea acres This land will now be in grass or any hoed crop and will be worth one hundred dollars per acre It will produce from one to two per acre worth twenty five dollars per ton of crop much less than it was Before the laud was drained Now apply manure and out of the house The stoving room is next on the ist and there the gunpowder is heated on wooden truys It is very hot and no workmen stay there From there it goes to

Federal strength on the following day Sheridan was in command opposite General Gordon In accordance with the programme Gordon made the next day and was met by Sheridans cavalry which ho gallantly repulsed but finding Sheridan well supported numbers of infantry fel back and sent this intelligence to Gen U E Lee Upon its Gen Lee ordered the firing to cease and displayed the white Hag which the

of the number and dimensions of the trees and noting all the of soil His land vas nearly all se from close observation years before most bad an Idea of heir and the very best taken location upon

summarized as follows On the 30000 acres on the Manistee and Au Sable 90000 acres on the Chippe wa iu Wisconsin 30000 acres Total 150000 addition he owns 20000 acres of the very best bardwood timbered
