Perfect satisfaction suarariteed' or no price charged. At tho time when the first, open come of law was establishi-d in Russia, a laily drt-saeil with the ut- mci.st-eleganSs,-was" walking on the Moscow prpnienade, lenr.ing1. upon l.er husbands arm, and letting the loi:g train of her rich dross sweep the dust uud-.dirt of the street. A.young officer, coining hastily: from a side street, was so careless .;as to-catch one. of'his spurs iu the I-lady's-train,and in an instant a greats' i piece was torn out of the costly but i frail material of the dress. -i 1 beg a thousand pardous,: nmd- I tune," said the officer with a polite bow,-ami then was about passing on, when he was detained by tlie lady's husband. J ... - " Vou have insulted my w:ife." "Nothing was' farther trom my intentions, sir. Your wife's long dre.^s is to blame for the accident, which I sincerely regret, and 1 beg you once u.oie to receive my apolo gies for niiv carelessness on my j.>art." ' Tlit-reupon'he attemptedto jiiisteii on. ".You sluill not esca-pe so," said the lady, with her head thrown buck in: a spirited way. "Today is the fiist- time I have worn this dress, and it cost two hundred rubles, which you must make good." " Alv dear .niadinne, I beg you not to detain me. I am obliged to go oil duty at onje*. As to tho two hunqred rubles I really cannot: help the length rof your dress,' yet I beg your pardon for not haying been more cautious." '"; " You shall not stir, sir. That yo:: are obliged to go on duty is nothing to us. My wife,, is [right; dress must be made good.';' The officer's face' grew pale> i " You force me to break tlirough the rules of the service, and I shall receive punishment." " Pay the two hundred rubies and you are free." ^ The quickly changing color in the young man's face betrayed how inwardly disturbed he waR; but stepping close up to them both, he said,' with apparent self-command : ./ " You will renounce -your claim when I tell you that I am a poor man, v,i q has nothing to live on but his oliicer's pay,1- and the amount of that pay hardly reaches the sum of two hundred rubles in ,i\ whole year. I can, therefore make no amends for the misfortune except by again begging your par- &)n." ' i "Oh"! anybody could Bay all Jihat; bijt we'll see if it's true; we^ll find out if y.oii have nothing biit your Pav- - I declare myself not satisfied' with your excuses, -and I demand my money," persisted the lady, in the hard voice of'a thor oughly unfeeling woman. An unbroken stillness reigned througrloutthe hull, and tho young dffictr'albreath could be heard com ing haikl. ', " I Wish it to Btand. Tho law shall givei mo niyriights." i ran tlirough the rows of a murmur of indignation liko n rushing of Thei-i peojilo that 'soiinded w liter. ,' . " Consider ^complainant, the con- seipienees of your demand. Tho de- feisdunt . can be punished only through being deprived of his per sonal liberty, and by that you could obtain no satisfaction, while to the defendant it might prove the great est injury to his rank and position as niL-officer, and especially as he is an officejr who is poor and de|>en- dent oil his pay. Do yon still in sist npoi your complaint j" " I still insist upon'it." Tho cburse the affair was taking, seemed to have become painful to the lady s husband. He-spoke with his wife urgently, but, as could be seen byi the way she held up her head amjl the energy with which she shook it, quite uselessly. The judge was just going"on to further consideration of the case, when a loud voice was heard from the au dience : " I will place the two hundred rubles at the service of the defen dant." - There followed a silence, during which a gentleman forced his way through the crowd and placed him self at t Lie young officer's side. " Sir, I am the Prince W , and. Beg-.you will oblige me by ac cepting jtho loan of the two hundred rubles'in question." " Pribce,I am not. worthy of your kindness, for I don't know if I shall ever be able to pay the loan," an swered the young nhui in a voice tremulous with emotion. . " Take tho money at all events. I can wait, until 'you are able to re turn it." ;. Thereupon the prince held out two notes of a hundred rubles (fach, and coming close np to him wjispereda few words very softly. There was a sudden light ing up of the officer's face. He immediately took the two -notes and turning toward the lady, hand ed them to her with a polite bow. " I hope, madame, you are satia- fiea^j - ./ i . With a malicious smile she reach ed out, her bund for her money.. .,; Yes J noic I am: satisfied. Wiph a scornful glance over the- J crowd of spectators, she prepared to leave the court room_onrher hus band's arm. " Stop, madame," said the officer who jbud iiiddeiily become like an other, man, with a firm and conS- dentlmannerj : ', . " (What-db you want V ; Tbe look that the woman -cast upon him was as insulting as possi ble. - - from tho representative of the Jaw my own property that dtess," said the officer, raising his voice., , The judge thus appealed-to, de cided promptly.. I . "The officer is right, madame. You are obliged to harid over the dress oh the apot," j j "I.can't undress myself before nil these people, and go- home with out any dress, on," said the wtjroan, with anger and tears. j " You should haT9 thought of that sooner. Now .you'-h'aiye no time to loso. : Either f^ve up the dress of your own accord, or-4:" A nod that could not be misunder stood brought to the lady's side two officers of justice, who seemed about to take upon I themselves the office of my: lady's tnaid. : "Take-yoiir money back, and leave mo my dress." ' i " Oh no, uadame ; that dress is now worth more than two hundred rubles to roeij' . ; "How much do you ask for it f' " Two thousand rubles," said the officer finuly. "I will pay the sum," the weep ing lady's " husband responded promptly, 't I hare here five! hun dred : rubles. Give me peri and paper and. I will write an ordpr on -iny banker for the .remaining fifteen hundred." i After he lad written the draft, the worthy pair withdrew, amidst hisses from the audience.

Give, me your address and I rill send it to you." "l Oh,' no, my dear madame, I am in the habit of taking my purchases with me afance.. Fi.iror me with the dress immediately." A. shoutofappi-obation came from Value of Local papers. ^Ym. M. iSwitzer,' one of the oldest and most, respected of j Mis; souri editors, has presented the following sensible view of the value- of local news lapers. [ " The invention of the electric telegraph: antr-the substitution of fast duily wails by milroad for the s]ow and less frequent HneB bylstage and coach, not to' mention1 the', multiplication'of industries corres ponding in ratio with our increased population, have largely localized the country press and augmented its usefulness and efficiency. These powerful agencies have made the weekly country newspaper.the or gan and mouthpiece of the country or district in'which it is published ; a reflex of I the opinions and an exponent and defender of the Rights and- interests of the people among, whom it is Rpecially circulated. It is theoretically, and ought, to be practically, an honest and sleepless dentinal in the watch tower of! their .liberties, and a guardian of |their special interests, industries, | and activities whatever they maylbe. "As. local self government is essential not only to the peace and prosperity oi' the whole country, to the highest happi- highest civilization of each of its pirts, so the local press is indjspensiblo to tbo proper de velopment :jand defence of; {he interests of the respective communi ties which in the aggregate make up the nation. And as the abolition of local government would result in universal anarchy and, disaster, and in the inauguration of the iron sway of colossal 'monopolies and centralized despotism, bo the extin guishment 'of . the . country press would open the Bood-gate8 |of a resistless torrent from theiburitains of population, wealth and power. " I am, therefoie, firmly persuad ed that the perpetuity of ouij free institution in the spirit and 'form deiigned by [our ancestors depend)* in no small degree upon the vigor- -OU8 existence and fidelity"i of the country press." ---------- -----:------- | Independent Journalism. ' The Richmond, Q., QYiardian bears testimony to tha growth'and* increasing popularity of 4nd'ePeP dent; journalism. It says ': " Wo hold that the independent- press, is fast enlisting the rspect of the people and is exercising dtjily a more potent influence on_ j>ublic sentiment. It is a very remarkable feature of the times that the county press is daily becoming more inde pendent. , It is one, of the most cheering indications of a new; era of j inde pendent thought, which is dawning upon the' world everywhere,' that the press is leading the van, and Tbe Coming Potato Crop* Potatoes are scarce and conse quently high in price. Two|cauBa operated last season to induce a scant yield. First, the ravages of the bug, only prevented by; consid erable trouble ind vigilance,' arid hence leading rja^ters to plant so much land as they conld manage, and1 no more. Secondly, tbe dry weather durmg the l&tter part of the summer. [ The high prices and ready- Bale now characteristic of the potato market will no doubt cauce ft large? area to be devoted to this crop the coming season. Beside this,;there is an'impression that the bug nui sance- is abating, and we believe this impression to be correct. I En tomologists hare been predicting that as the parasites and other ene mies of the potato bug multiplied, this insect visitation Would be held more and more in check. A good suggestion in regard to the pbtato crop of 1877 comes from Prof.j tMc- Afee, of the Iowa .Agricultural College. It is that none but early vorietiea of potatoes be planted. This policy is intended to cut off the supply of food for the. potato bug late in the summer. The Rural New Yorker thinks thii an excellent suggestion,, and remarks; There are, at least, two broods; of this insect in a season throughout 'the greater part of the Northern arid Middle States, and in 'some favor able localities three. Now, if none but the earliest varieties of potatoes! are planted, the tops will be' ripe by the time the first brdod of beetles have come to maturity. The second brood,not finding ite favorite food in abundance, a large portion must per ish, for, say from'the first of Ajiguat, until the following spring is rather too long a time for the niuturo in sect to live, especially if short' of food. It-is generally the second or last brood of the season ^hich- hyberriatcs, passing through- the winter in safety; but by cutting off the supply of food we may at least lessen" the number which are to pass over the following season. To Prof. McAfee's advtfce to; plant only early .potatoes, we! ven ture to add,.plant these early] As a general rule, the earlier potatoes are planted the better is,the {yield. The sets are bo long in germinating that they are protected in the soil for a time, and in this respect have the advantage over crops that break ground quickly.. Potatoes are usually left to the lost; would it not be better to reverse, this order of things 1 It it true, there ire variety of crops all of which c lamor for first attention ; but in this case ' the eradication of un insect past is on object of prime importance, de serving every effort that can possi bly be put forth.

Out of respect for his uniform,! and to avoid an optii scene, he had to go with them to the court-rodnf, where the gallery w-as densely packed with a crowd of people. -' r 'After waiting some time,; the -lady had leave to bring l^r Com plaint. - " " What have you to answer to this complaint]" said the judge, turning to the officer, who 6eemed embarrassed and half in despair. " On tbe whole, very little. . As the lateness of tie .hour and being required on duty compelled nie to hurry, I did not notido : this lady's vhieh was! dragging on the ground. J caught cine of my spurs ' Order f ' 'f "What an insane demand," said the lady's husband. ".My wife eamoit undi-esfl herself here."

( I ara in a great hurry; riiyj affairs are urgent, and I can- riot wait a moment longer." ! The pleasure of the audience, at the expense of the lady increased .with every Word, until it was hard to enforce any approach to quiet, so that either party could, be heard. "f Do not jest any more about it. I will hurry and send you the dress asisoon as. possible." |" I uiu not jesting, we should .lose faith in progress were it otherwise."

'The stranger was as good as his word, and he chuck led and cackled over his shrewdness until" "the document was made out and he. had been sworn,' Then the justice reinarked : y " A dollar is the fee 1" Something came over the strang er aboht that date.
