A* Morpan Park, Cook County, the ' day, while Mrs. Wiemjber w*s rnjpMfnrl la hoiise-cleaning, she sent her two children, aged two and, four years, respectively, up­ stairs to play. The elder got hold of some matches and set some bucks on fire, and, be­ fore the mother was made aware of the con­ flagration, the baby was burned to a crisp. The property loss was about $1,500.

The store of Henry Stevenson, at Wood- lawn, in Jefferson County, was broken open, tlSe other night, and a laree quantity of goods stolen. Mr. Stevenson got on the track of the robber, and emptied the contents of a revolver at the fleeing rascal. The latter, upon the second shot, fell, and the indications were that he would be captured, but he regained hifc feet, ran into the woods close by and suc­ ceeded in making his escape. It was an ex­ citing scene for a time. ,;l • t At Petersburg, the other morning, a man named Thomas Mullin entered Theo. Fisher's drug store and purchased ten cents' worth of arsenic, went over into the Court-House yard, lay down on the grass, took his medicine, and waited for the grim monster; but a doctor, .seeing him, approached, and asked the trou­ ble, when Mullin told what he had done. The physician rigged his stomach pump, and In a short time the man got better and left the vicinage. The report of the Joliet Penitentiary for the month of May, filed with the Governor, on the 7th, shows that during the month there were 97 convicts received and 88 discharged. Total in the Prison on May 31: Males, 1.704; females, 27; aggregate, 1,731 %he State's Attorney ot one of the Southern Gttunties writes to the Attorney-General that, at the late term of the Circuit Court of that county, Lucy V. Parker, a girl over fourteen afid under sixteen years of age, was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to the Reform School at Pontiac for fifteen months. The Sheriff took the girl to the Reform School, but the Superintendent refused to receive her, on the ground that it was Impossible to provide for her with due regard to morality, and that the law provided for the custody of boys only at the school. It appears from a considera­ tion of all the statutes that persons convicted of grand larceny are to be sent to the Peniten­ tiary, but that no person under sixteen years of age shall be sent there; and the statute as to the Reform School does not provide for the custody of any female; so the Attorney-Gen­ eral advises that the girl be discharged. Dr. Jons Simpson, one of the oldest citl- zens of Morgan County, dropped dead at his ' residence, near Woodson, on the 9th. The trouble was apoplexy. Mrs. Pauline Coon's residence, at Cairo, was totally destroyed by fire a little after mid­ night, on the morning of the 11th. Loss, about 13,000. Mrs. Annie Good (colored) whose residence adjoined the burned building, died suddenly while the fire Was in progress, without apparent cause other than excessive frjght. Farmers throughout the State are agreeing to pay from $1.25 to $1.7o per day for their harvest hands. So far as the harvest has pro­ gressed, the general expression is that, if the weather remains favorable until the grain can be securely shocked, the crop of winter wheat will be larger than ever before. On the 11th, David Pattersou, eighteen years old, was drowned in the Vermillion swamps, north of Piper City, while in swim­ ming. The State Journal* of Springfield, which had been published in a quarter sheet for abme days, gave up the ghost, on the 11th. At Chicago, on the night of the 12th, a Bo­ hemian, named Jacob Vlllenger, fifty-six years old, shot at and iustuuLly killed the laother of his five children because, with her arms en­ twined about his neck, she entreated him to .abandon his bibulous habits. As as the deed was done Vlllenger fell upou the bloody corpse and embraced it demonstratively, and frantically called upon the bystanders to kill him. He was locked up. The prisoners in the Vermillion County Jail, thirteen in number, made an attack upon the Jailer, on the 12th, gagged and tied him, and were just in the act of making their es­ cape when Sheriff Gregory made • his appear­ ance on the scene, and by dint of hard fighting succeeded in locking up the whole gang. They were a badly battered crew when the Sheriff got tlirounh with Jthem.

The following useful and suggestive brevities arc from the pen of the agri­ cultural editor of the Iowa State Reg­ ister: Never keep horses shod when wow­ ing on the farm. No farmer can afford to be without4* good garden.. In farming, many things can be sown broadcast, but not money. Corn is the poor mta s crop, taking so little for seed, for tilling or for har­ vesting. Sheep will, convert more worthless weeds into money than any other ani­ mal or agency. It is a glorioos provision that extrav­ agance does not pay in any business, Working in the garden is JflSt as good exercise as base ball, and far more useful and instructing. Clover is a peculiar plant. _ It im­ proves and fertilizes the soil, while nearly all other plants act the reverse. Too much eating and too little sleep­ ing are the great curses to American health and happiness. , Sunflower seeds are good for chick­ ens. For show chickens, it niakes their , " fo do- nothing is to be attained without it." ; Everything on a farm should be done well, and for this purpose the owner must give it his personal supervision. Stock a farm according to its produc­ tion. Have stock enough to consame all rough food, but not enough to be­ come rough without food. Nature above us is setting examples every day, by freshness, order find beauty. The "pure in heart" take thought for the beautiful. The farmer who will npw keep his Slows running in his corn fields, wet or ry, will be rewarded in lh« autumn by a good yield of corn. Horses are better than men. They do not hate their enemies as relentlessly, but they always know their friends from their enemies. The farmer must recollect that his sons will learn by example and not by precept. If he spends his days in town his boys will follow his example. ' ' The poorest girls, in the various ap­ plications of the term, are1 those who have never been taught to work. There are thousands of them, as , use­ less as last yearns almanac. v We hold it to be the duty of every good farmer to render his home as nappy and agreeable as possible; to combine the solid comforts of life with the elegant pleasures of taste. The profits on the farm are small, and economy in all proper and legiti­ mate methods needs to be practiced in order to provide a comfortable living and pay one hundred cents on the dol­ lar. Men who have farmed for eighty years, almost universally testify that they learned more of the business in the last forty than in the first forty of their lives. And yet many think it is easy to learn farming. Cases frequently occur where a * man who is too lazy to farm quits and be­ comes a very successful preacher. But it never occurs where he is too indolent to preach that he ever becomes a suc­ cessful farmer. That rule will not work bothwayi. * *'• !r * ' ' • ,• Mulches.? • Ml - ••• Ws visited lately an enthusiastic old friend, whose soil was profuse with weeds, and especially good solid purs­ lane. These he had carefully pulled and buried. We said to him: Your raspberries are blistering. Your young grapes are suffering from drought. Your pear trees are dried and parched. Your weeds would have served a capi­ tal purpose as a mulch about them. Indeed, among my berries I would rather have creeping weeds growing than have the ground cracked with heat. Weeds can always be utilized by throwing an armful about the nearest tree. Then spread them and trample them down tightly. For summer they are one of the best possible mulches. Then drive to your woodshed, or woodpile, or to the nearest sawmill, and scrape up a few loads of rotting sawdust and fine-cut chips. Large chips serve as hiding places for evil- disposed bugs and slugs. If this saw­ dust is fresh, run it through your stable as bedding. It has the advantage of being free from seeds, and is specially adapted to your evergreens. Nothing is better for an arbor vita) or hemlock hedge or for a bed of rhododendrons or kalmia than a thick mulch of saw­ dust. It is almost equally good for pears and apples. The value of ashes from anthracite coal cannot be easily overestimated. They serve as a mulch when no stimu­ lant is desired. They lighten the soil. They retain moisture on grass land. But, above all, they are valuable about trees attacked by borers. The writer has seen them piled about ash trees which were on the high road to de­ struction; but are now in restored vig­ or. It is the best application, well pressed down, about apple trees. It is equally valuable under gooseberries and about raspberries. Barnyard manure should be used, like all rich composts, very sparingly about fruit trees. Cherries and pears especially need to grow slowly to care­ fully ripen wood and prevent cracking of the bark. • Stimulating manures may be used only when the tree shows fee­ ble vitality or almost cessation of growth. ' Straw, hay and material that can be used in winter by mice1 should, if used, be trodden closely, and before cold weather be covered with soil or re­ moved. As a temporary resort it is sometimes usefuL It is especially well to gather Up the waste and trodden straw from yard or stack and use it among raspberries and strawberries. . Finally, a capital mulch is provident­ ly furnished in autumn in the leaves that drift in corners and groves. Take them when damp and use them for cov­ ering in winter and mulch in spring. It is a crime to burn them. They are intended to serve in summer for shade, in winter to protect the • roots of trees. If run through the stable as bedding, they are vastly improved for almost all purposes. Success in raising fruit cannot be at- laiped without skill in the use of mulches. The old rule of Abernetuy for the health of human beings is equally good for trees: " Head cool;foet warm* --Cor. N. T. Independent. SeUlng Out. r" I , *ss. Unsettled dfapbsftiofo, a continual desire to do something else, or to live in some other part of the country, or upon some other farm, has stood between many men and success. Many a young man just taking his first steps in independent business life, with no paternal hand to lead the way, has been induced by some petty reason to make such changes as he could only re­ gret in subsequent years. To be sure, there are times when it is net prudent for a man to sit down be­ neath his own fig-tree and wait for the fish of the sea to fall through its branches. There are sometimes cir­ cumstances when to sell the farm and its stock, etc., may prove advantageous, but there is. no sense in continually talking about going West or South, or selling wkhout some good logical rea~5on. Yet it is done every year by men with whom we are acquainted. I have in mjr mind a case of this kind. A farmer in comfortable circumstances has been trying to sell out for the last ten years, A few months since a pur­ chaser presented himself, which led the farmer to inquire--why should I sell? How can I put myself into better circumstances with the money to be se­ cured? When set face to face with the facts, he was compelled to admit that the Advantages to be gained were hard­ ly adequate to balance the losses. As a general rule, the farmer who is desirous of selling works to very poor advantage. Everything is done upon the " whitewash" principle. All re­ pairs are for the purpose of covering up defects without regard to durability. It doesn't matter to him if it is patched , over. It will last until the property is off from his hands. He puts in his crops where he will be able to reap the greatest immediate profits, regardless of the ultimate damage or the demand for tillage upon some other field that will not yield so large crops. Such a man's whole aim and motive is to sell --and what then? The old story is re­ peated. A new farm, anxiety to sell, slovenly farming, other changes, each sale attended with greater or less loss, and Ms life proves a failure. If surrounding circumstances are so unfavorable that * man cannot make himself contented, or if he can plainly see his way and knows himself able to figure considerable gains by the trans­ action, then let him sell; but such a change requires some study and fore­ thought. Let no one purchase what he is to look upon as nis future home without a careful investigation of all the circumstances which can either di­ rectly or remotely affect its value for his use. The soil, the climace, neigh­ borhood, all the advantages to which men are apt to attach any value, as schools, churches, railroad communi­ cations, etc.; all of these questions should be considered, and the facts as we desire them have full force in making our decision. And having made the selection, then it is well to settle down to the work before us. It is the duty of every man to render his surroundings as convenient, comforta­ ble and pleasant and possible. Every -farmer's time and capital should deter­ mine the limit to improvements and adornment We believe it possible to render our farms so profitable and our homes so attractive that we will have no desire to go West or South, or any­ where else. We should render our homes the most attractive spot on earth to us. One of the prominent evils re­ sulting from our wandering, gypsy-like life appears in the fact that such grand old estates as we see in the old coun­ tries are with us very rare indeed. Upon those estates the son begins where the father leaves off, and carries for­ ward the work of improvement, leaving it to be still further perfected by his children and children's children. Their houses and farm buildings are not erected to stand for a year, nor during the life of a single generation, but for centuries. But it is different with us. Our fathers sell out and move away, the children follow in their footsteps, and the "band-box" buildings erected by one owner are only replaced by his successor. If an ordinary farmer re- •mnins in .one Jcexility -long'enough -to grade up his cattle, sheep and swine to a point where they are of more than ordinary value, he either moves away or dies, and the herds and flocks fall under the auctioneer's hammer. / What we need is more stability" among our American farmers, more time to make improvements, and such improvements as shall not be lost with each succeeding generation, but such as shall be perpetuated and still further perfected by our children's children- such as will give us more type and character BS a Nation.--Jfracltcal Farmer. Edison, the Magiciav* • >. :• i i- While Mr. Edison is preparing a sheet of tinfoil to place upon the cylin­ der, we will take a look at him. He is a hard man to describe, and no descrip­ tion yet given of him seems exactly correct. He looks young and yet old --worn and yet fresh. His face is boy­ ish, and has still a predominance of manly characteristics. A finely-shaped head is thatched with a somewhat un­ ruly shock of hair, well sprinkled with gray, which projects over, but does not overhang, a finely-shaped forehead, that bears well-defined though not deep lines. His countenance is open, his gray eyes are bright, his nose and mouth are well shaped, and he is in face very far from being a homely man. Clean-shaven, his flesh is pale and un­ healthy in appearance. When he is experimenting, he wears a thoroughly earnest look, and as he speaks his countenance tells quickly whether the thought in. his mina is one of weight or of "leasantrv. T" height he is about five feet seven inches, and, excepting a very slight stoop of the shoulders, is of good figure and is firmly built. He is not so deaf as has been described, and it is not a fact that he has $ever heard the voice of his own invention. He is very hard of hearing, but by placing his ear close to the sounder of the tele­ phone, he hears readily, and is very quick to defect false time or false tones.

With Mr. Edison's previous history the public is already more or lew familiar. He was born at Mila»? Ohio, Feb. XI, 1847, his ancestors having come to this country in 1780. The Edisons are a long-lived race, his great-grandfather having lived to be 120 years old, atid his (rrnnrtf»t.))pr •.« b? 103. Mr. Edison's father is still living, at the age of seventy-four, hale and hearty, and, visiting his son the other day, outran him in a short foot-race. Edison's mother was a Massachusetts lady, cul­ tivated and educated, and was so faith­ ful a mother that, although her son never went to school more 4h^n> two months in his life, he is well educated, being master of several la&Kuagcs^ and < well read in history, general literature and science. His early years were full of changes, and, as train-boy, proprie­ tor of a newspaper-stand, engine hand, newspaper publisher, telegraph ojrtra- tor and electrician, saw many phases of life before he reached his majority« --Boston Advertiser. * -^Chicken-thieves have become such a nuisance in Houston, Tex., that a mechanical genius has invented a sort of dummy chicken, bearing a close re­ semblance to the genuine article, and loaded with buckshot, powder and cape.
