The article in yesterday's Post con and maids, laughing, weeping, shaking hands, asking a thousand questions, stopped only to regale their friends with the delicacies most enjoyed by these eons of chivalry buttermilk and onions.

Toward the middle of the day the foundry buildings and the old school-house were fired. These held army stores that could not be taken awaj- delicate eatables for the hospital, boxes of medicine, barrels of flour, coffee, sugar, tea, whisky, brandy and wine; so it was determ ned to destroy them, rather than leave them for the benefit of the enemy. The people of Holly Springs had known by this time what it was to suffer actual want, and they could but feel a pang on seeing the tire lick up what would have been life-blood to so many. The black population found it too much to endure, and for once taking the initiative, they set an example, followed by all who had strength for the venture, and so they hurried from all parts of the town with wheelbarrows, bags and baskets, and rushed as It seemed, into the very heart of the flames. They would come back laden with whatever came nearest to hand, and perhaps some angel of the Odd watched over them, fo" not a life was lost during, their perilous work.

Tolx-y and his father had their share in all the excitement. Uncle Jim skipped around in his white trousers like a patriot on an electric machine, and shouted, for Van Dorn!" louder than anybody; and when the robbing or saying "of he foundry stores began he was in his element. lie went halves with a man in town who owned a go-cart, and together they worked like Trojans. Tobey soon escaped from his father's eye, spurred on by his own ambition. He knew that fire arms were stored somew here in the building, and he determined to tit himsel out in a way to strike terror to the heart of every other boy in the village.

He ran up the are all alike. You may Just hand them over to me." Tobey relinquished the bills, not so crisp and fresh as they were, but worth quite as much, while hb captors grew almost speechless with astonishment as they saw the value the notes represented. They were careful not to enlighten Tobey, however, as to the value of his treasure trove, and he was sent off completely happy with a silver dollar and a pile of illustrated newspapers. Uncle Sam got his own again, for the officers were honest and loyal gentlemen. As for Tobey he never knew that for two days he had been rich enough to buy out Holly Springs, or to found an orphan as lum, or to run race or to own a yacht, or to start a daily paper.

Aunt Betsey never knew Jim Kinkle nevet knew, or, I fear, like certain old heroes in Roman history, they would have died of mortification. Tobey to-day thrives in the ignoble state of a barber, supporting his mother, who has grown toe fat even to waddle, and his father, who is almost too lazy to breathe. He is industrious, honest, popular and gay but what might he not have been' had his fortune stuck to his fingers until he had found out its value! Sher ood Jionner, in Our Why a Duel Was Sot Fought.

Previous to his settlement in Louis ana Harvey was engaged in the merchant service and had sailed on several whaling voyages. Having married a Creole, Harvey strove to conform to Creole ideas and usages, which wero quite opposite and repugnant to his old notions and feelings.

Toot Time it C-utoiencr. Frlme hops are now selling for fifty cents per pound in the leading markets of the country.

With this statemenl comes the report that very many farmers in the Northern States," on the Pacific and in Canada-are preparing to engage in hop culture on a very extensive scale. Already inquiries are made by correspondents in regard to the best soil for hops and; the best methods oi setting out and cultivating the plants. There is a great demand for hop literature, and many "growers are receiving orders for plants. Now before farmer resolve to commence hop-growing, they would do well to ascertain why the price of one of the ingredients of bcei happens to be so high at present. Brielly stated, hops are higher now because they have been so low for several year; that the owners of 'many yards abandoned them or plowed them up, as they could only obtain enough for the product of them to pay the.

cost of picking, curing and marketing. A little more than two years ago hops now worth fifty tents per pound were selling at from six to seven cents. The crop was a losing one when disposed of at these rates. Growers were aware of it and each waited for the other to become discouraged and go out of the business. Many did become discouraged and devoted their lields and drying houses to other purposes.

Some lost their farm; which they had mortgaged to raise money to procure plants, cultivate til! they were old enough to produce paying crops, and to erect buildings for drying purposes. During the past few j-eare but very few new fields have "en planted to hops. Quite recently unfavorable seasons and insects enemies have reduced the product, and at length the time was reached when the supply was somewhat small and good prices were realized. The present Is not a favorable, but, ou the other hand, a very unfavorable, one to commence hop culture in anew district. Farmers in districts where the crop has long been cultivated will now give more attention to it, and will have a better chance for success than persons will who "have to experiment with an tmtried soil and climate, and who have no experience in planting and cultivating the vines, and in curing and marketing the product.

The prospect is that the market will be overstocked with hops befere three years. All the old fields will be kept up, and many new ones will be started. There is always a disposition to engage in any de partment of agriculture that yields for the time large returns. A farmer who sees his neighbor receive 500 per acre for a crop while he receives but $20 for his, will be likely to turn his attention to the former. The consequence will be that the market will be oversupplied, and prices will fall.

This is especially likely to be the case when the crop pro duced is one lor which there is oniy a limited demand for a few specific por oses. The history of broom-corn is niuch like that of hops in respect to great fluctuations in prices. It has been by turns the most profitable and least profitable crop in the country. Fortunes have been made in raising both hoos and broom-corn. On the other hand, it is true that many larmers nave ruined themselves financially by engag ing in the cultivation of each of them.

There is always more risk attending the raising of any crop lor whicn mere is a auite demand than one for- which there is a very large demand. This is especially true2 of a crop, like hops, whose quality deteriorates by keeping. If it is not sold the season it is raised it brings a very small price, while the; expense of storage is consid erable. The crops that involve the smallest risks, so far as prices are concerned, ai those for which there is a large demana, for which there are many uses, and which can be kept a long time without deterioration and with little expense. Indian corn, most of the small grains and wool come within this class of products.

If one wishes to enter into a new department of agriculture the best time to do it is When many other3 are going Prices are then low, and it will cost but little to get a start. Many will sell their stocks at a great sacrifice It is easy then to procure experienced laborers, if they are desired, at a low rate of wages, as they cannot find em ployment elsewhere. Farmers, howr- ever. are generally inclined to adopt the contrary course. They abandon one department of agriculture or stock-raising at a time when it is paying poorly and engage in another which is paying 101 the time verv handsomely.

In a few vears matters are reversed. The pay ing crop becomes the losing cne, and the article that gave little or no return for the labor required toproduce it com mands a high the market. They are then anxious to change back, and not unfrequently they return to the pro duction of the same thing they abandoned because they found it unprofitable. Some farmers are perpetually changing from one thing to another, and always making the chjlnge at exact ly the wrong time, When hops are sell ing for fifty cents per pound and butter brings but twenty, they are anxious to dispose of their cows and invest in hop-vines. Almost every farm product is profitable if we regard the average price it can be disposedof for a term of years.

Patient continuance" in any department of agricultural industry is certain to bring its reward. The best time to engage in it, is wliea it looks unpromising. Chicago Times. 0VEEC0ME. Omci or The Sejteca Co.

A well-known resi dent of Washington, meeting a Post re porter last night, said to him: That article recalls to my mind that more than thirty years ago, when I resided in Winchester, where my father then conducted the Winchester Republican, there also resided an ingenious, intelligent, highly esteemed citizen, a prominent merchant tailor, named George Aulie, of the United States navy, who had in his possessions, of his own manufacture, a bona fida living horned rooster, and, so far from it being a lusus natural, it was no more or less than an artificial home production, and one that any skillful person familiar with budding or grafting trees or plants can produce almost ad infinitum." "Are you joking?" inquired the Post.

Not a bit of it," was the straightforward answer. The process is somewhat as follows: Take any healthy fowl of the chicken kind, from five months to one year old, male or female, having a well developed comb; then selecting a young, growing rooster of like conditions and whose spurs are about an eighth of an inch long, or just well and prominently enough developed to show the spur; have at hand a suitable, keen pen-knife or lancet, then make a proper incision (or slightly scoop out) on the top or on either side of the comb or carbuncle of the fowl; next skillfully detach from another fowl the bud-like spur, taking along with it a 8m all portion of the fleshy part; quickly insert the bud into the incision or scooped out Elacc on the comb, grease the part with ird or suet, without wiping off the blood; carefully, lightly and properly bandage, or cover with a suitable piece of adhes-ive plaster, in such a way as to prevent the bud being detached by the scratching of the fowl. In due time, say three or four days, if sufficiently healed the bandage can lie taken of', when in the course 01 a lew months a fully developed and permanently at tached spur, or so-called horn, will be the result." Your explanation is ingenious," said the reporter, "but it certainly sounds strange." "My explanation shows nothing more or less than the transplanting or en- craftmtr process, which modem tcience has often demonstrated as applicable to .,..1 the human being, anu, in tins connection, it is suggested that a cat or a dog, ndecd almost any animal, may be or namented with an engralted headpiece, and the human forehead divine, or the olfactory appendage be made the trarden spots" for various elongated attachments, erhaps alter awhile some enterprising Yankee will undertake to suppIv the future Barnums and Fore pauirhs with new subjects in natural and artificial history, whose forms and shapes will be limited only by the imagination Washington Post.

SPRING HILL, KANSAS. MIDSUMMER IN NEW ENGLAND, Tho proud pomp of the Midsummer is here; With daisy blooms the meadow lands are white. And over them the birds chant their dellg-ht, vAnd the blue, listening- heavens bend to hear. Within the lily's pa nted cup the beo fwinrs drowsily, and dreams about the rose He loved in June, and how her leaves repose Y'here none can find thorn sav" the winds and he. The trees are heavy with their wealth of frreen; And un ler them the waiting maidens walk And fill the idle hours with girlish talk Of such a knijrht as never girl has seen How he is noble, pood, and princely tall.

And one day he will come, from his farplace. And read the blushes in his true love's face, And she will rise and follow at his call: And then I see a little, painted boat With white sails set to seek the summer sea. And in that boat two lovers, young- and free. With favoring winds, 'neath smiling; skies atlout. And all the proud Midsummer's pomp is come.

And all the joy of tlower, and bird, and bee. And all the deeper joy when he and she. Their heart' Midsummer found, with bliss are dumb. Louise Chandler Moulton, in Our Continent. TOBEY'S FORTUNE.

In 1862 Tobey was a small black boy living in Holly Springs, which was 4 hen a Southern town unluckily placed in the path of both armies, so that its war record soon became of the most xcitinjT natnrer But none hnd an experience to be mentioned in the same breath with Tobey, who had a fortune in his grasp and never knew it! It is too outrageous for belief, but it is literally true, and this is how it happened It was the twentieth of December glorious, glorious the people of Holly Springs call it to this iay. Tobey, whose other name was Kinkle, was awakened early in the morning by the sound of firing. "(iit up, pappy he called excitedly, 'don't you hear de shootin' Uncle Jim Kinkle, who was snoring comfortably in one coiner of the cabin, under a great pile of dingy quilts and spreads, was slow in coming to the surface. "What's de matter, Tobe?" he growled in sleepy tones. "Fightin's de matter," shouted Tobey, Iiopping up and down.

"Don't you Lear tic guns? Come out to de mound, an' wake up mammy, so she kin come, He was o3 with these last words, and Uncle Jim, now fairly aroused, jumped up and jumped into his clothes in about the length of it was said to take the wife of Billy boy" to make a cherry pie. Then he dashed out, head in front, as bull charges. He was soon with Tobey on the top of an old mound, from which there was a good view. "Great gran'daddy!" cried Uncle Jim, as he looked. "Jerusalem crickets! harioh an' all his hosts!" A vigorous light was going on; the harp crack of rilles and occasional yells were borne distinctly to their ears.

Suddenly a ringing cheer burst from a thousand throats; a mounted squad tore. Jike a whirlwind across the lield, with another in hot pursuit. Which is runnin' Tobey," cried Unr-le Jim. "My ej'es is gitlin' ole. 1 can't tell tudder from whkh." "Hooray fur de Kagged Robs!" shrieked his offspring.

De Yanks is gittin' over de groun' like skeered rabbits. Whooped ain't dis a sight?" By this time Aunt Betsey had wad-tiled to the mound. "Is de woiT comin1 to an end?" asked, puffins between her words she like iin engine. "No, mammy," said Tobey, "do woiT ain't comin' to an end; but de Feds is whipped out, sho's you bawn." 'Look at 30' daddy, Tobe," said Aunt Betsey; "what in de lan' is he om Sure enough, what teas he doing? He had stepped behind a magnolia tree firrowins on top of the mound and had turned his trousers wrong side out. Seeing this a ray of comprelkcnsion lighted Aunt Betsey's face.

"Co 'long widyou, nigger! Nobody's gvine ter notice an ole ijiot like- you," she said, with such a laugh as made her shake like a bowl of calf-foot jelly. It must be explained that some days bac one of the soldiers had given Uncle Jim a pair of blue breeches, and he had worn them proudly. But, like the Vicar of Bray, Mr. Kinkle had no particular principles, and meant to keep on good terms with. both sides.

To-day the toys in gray Lad the victory, and should he stand confessed a partisan of the Union, betrayed by his breeches? Ferish the thought! He could not change them, however, for in Aunt Betsey's creed no yuan needed more than one pair at a time, and no sooner had her husband donned the blues than she cut down his old ones and put them on the growing Tobey Uncle Jim, however, was a man for emergencies. A born turncoat, he readily understood how to turn trousers as well, and wdien" he stepped from behind the tree it was with snowy legs and a face beaming; with rebel enthusiasm. I'm gwine to town," he remarked. Don't you go roira' whar de fight in' is," said Aunt Betsey. -You'll git killed lust thing you know." I reckon de fightin' is about over, ole 'ooman.

We have whipped out de intruders on our sile befo' sun-up," said Uncle Jim, with dignity. "Well, you'll want some breakfas' befo' you git off." "No," smiling mysteriously. pee' I kin git better in luwn dan what you could give me." "Kin I go wid you, pappy?" asked Tobe. "Yes, chile. -1 reckon you won't never learn no younger." Aunt Betsy, as is the lot of wemen, had to stay at home.

She fried some bacon and roasted an ash-cake, and ate her breakfast placidly. Theri she- beat up her feather bed and milked the cow and tied the calf; a ter which she waddled sifira'n to the mound. Seeinj; noth ing, she leaned her broad back" against the niasrnolia tree, shut her eyes, and placidly went to sleep. Suddenly she waked with "a start. The atmosphere was heavy.

In the dis tance flames were mounting to the sky Then a terrible explosion that seemed to make the very earth quiver threw her to the ground. Others followed; the glass in her cabin windows broke into bits; a smell of sulphur tainted the air. Now, Aunt Betsey knew the world wa; comingr to an end! Falling on her knees, she prayed fervently that Tobey and Jim and herself, ami "ole Mars' an' ole Mis' an' de chdlen an' Mars' Abram Lincoln an' Jeff Davis an' all irood Christians and miserable sinners inigkt be brought inter de fold." And fhe was still pouring forth this all-embracing prayer, when night came bring ing son and husband home. Their day had been very eventful. Thev had found the town in an uproar, A certain wild young: cavalry officer, with a name like that of a novel hero Earle Van Dorn had galloped into Holly Springs with his reckless brigade, before the soldiers in camp were awake, 10 their utter confusion and overthrow Not much blood had been shed, but all the Fedwrals were captured, disarmed and released on parole.

Holly Springs the pretty little town was out of its arita with iov. Handkerchiefs and tiny Uas starred and barred waved from every window. Houses were thrown open to chanco guesta gray, and as few had time to enter, the gateways were crowded with children. Matrons stairs, though the smoke curled about him and little daggers of name were striking with wavering menace at the steps. Running through a passage he tried to dash into a room where he fancied he should find what he sought, but the door was locked.

Daunted for an instant, he looked about him wondering what to do. At this instant the thun-derons explosion of the powder shook the building with frightful violence. Tobey fell, stunned, deafened and frightened half to death. When Iks picked himself up he saw that a window leading inio the locked room was shattered into fragments, and, with a spirit worthy of blue blood, he through. It was the paymaster's room.

Some one had evidently left it in a hurry, some one who had tried to save the money just received for pay-day, as the chests were open and their contents partly gone; some one who had re membered to Jock the aoor as he neu Tobey was greatly disappointed. What a stupid thing to find nothing but boxes tilled with green pictures, and not a s'gn anywhere of pistol or bayonet. The little" boy had never handled any money, never seen any, I might almost say. The crisp, new bills looked pretty, and with a sudden remembrance of his mammy's fondess for pasting pict- urea on the cabin walls, Tobey thrust a I handful into each pocket and stuffed out the bosom of his flannel shirt with as many as it would hold. When positively driven out by the heat, he bounded down the stairs, the last living being to leave the doomed structure, and worth much more than when he entered it.

As night fell. Van Dorn galloped out of Holly Springs as hurriedly as he had entered. The town grew quiet, the people dispersed to their homes. Aunt Betsey at her prayers, as I have said, was surprised by the return of the wanderers, both in a state of radiant joy. Aunt Betsey heard their account of the day with many comments of wonder; but when a full coflee sack was thrown down beside her she merely folded her hands and said: Bress de Lord!" And who wouldn't have said the same thing who for two years had been drinking coffee made of goober peas and sweet potatoes! They feasted royally that night, and when supper was over Jim climbed the magnolia tree and tied the sack of coffee securely to its branches; the bag of flour he hid under the house, and into every rabbit hole in the mound he packed a can of fruit.

What is you tip to now, Jim?" said Aunt Betsey "Never you mind, old 'ooman, tain't no fool head on dis nigger's shoulders." In fact, Mr. Kinkle' wits seemed preternatarally sharpened; and the event proved his wisdom. The next day Grant army came pouring into Holly Springs, and men were detailed to search every house- in town for stores that mio-ht have been saved. It was done thoroughly; those who had gained treasures lost them as speedily, and were warmly thanked by the jolly soldiers of Uncle Sam for their exertions in the cause of the Government. They called on the Kinkle family.

Jim met them at the door, a olay pipe in his mouth, his trowsers blue, his-sen timents loyal. Me got anything, gen lemenr he said, in a tone of great surprise. Why, lor'! I was sick in bed with the rheumatiz all day-an' wouldn't a-been able ter hav' acted like dem harem-scarem niggers in town ef .1 had a-wanted to. obey, here, he weat in, an' somebody gin him an ole powder flask, an' a can o' pineapple. We done eat de pineapple las' night; but I know Mr.

Lincoln wouldn't begrudge dat much ter a good Lnton n'gger like me. -Llus eloquence was not convincing. and the soldiers made a pretty good search. But thev did not think of looking tinder the nor tip the trees; nor the xabbit notes: bo im saved his prizes, and held his head very hisrh all the rest of his life in conse quence. lobey said nothing about the pretty orrpfn rrirtnrps: lie kent them for arainv Say as it were, when Aunt Betsey should be cross.

His night-dress was exactly the same as his day-dress; so the -bills rested safely wrhere he had placed them and nobody suspected what a walking bonanza he had become. Van Horn's raid was on Saturday. Oa the Monday following lobey was hanging about the smoking pile that hadbeen the foundry buildinsr, when two officers rode up and looked sadly on the "There's no use lamenting," saidone of them at last; "let us light our cigars and go." The other felt in his pocket mechanic ally. "I have no matches," he said; have you No, but we can light them from the fire so much good it can do us, at least! Here, boy; fetch me a coal. Tobey neared the smoking heap can tiously.

It did not seem possible to get a coal, but he could get the gentlemen a light by twisting up one of his green pictures for a spill. He had strong hopes of receiving a dime in return. He took out one of the bills, twisted alonx lighter and stuck it in the fire. It blazed quickly, and he ran with it to the officer, who took it, lighted hi3 cagar, blew it out suddenly, and cried "What the dickens is this?" 1 Look, Foster," as he spread out the remnant, a greenback bill a 3 I'm a Captain! Here, 3 011 little scamp! how did you come by this? Have you any more?" Oh! yes, sir!" said Tobey, in all simplicity. Then he told the story of how he came by them, the officers listening like statues of attention.

When he had finished thev turned and stared at each other, pulling their mustaches vcrv hard. Then fhe Captain said, mild ly: Come to the camp with me and 11 give you some better pictures. These to the highiy recned rules ami customs which govern creolo society in Louisiana At a gay party at a creole neighbor's one evening, whesja Harvey was present, a game of cards was proposal, and the game was proceeding quite pleasantly when an altercation arose between Harvey and a creole gentleman of high position and for many jcars an editor, Albert Fabre. The dispute finally became very "hot, winding up in words of insult from Fabre to Harvey and in a knock-down from the heavy fist of the latteiv the-blow -inflicting a very dark "black-eye" upon the unfortunate Creole. The next day Harvey wai waited upon by a friend of Fabre with a demand for satisfaction and a request to be referred to Ms seconds, with whom the terms of an early meeting might be arranged.

Harvey asked what this all meant. The that he wanted him to meet Mr. Fabre in honorable combat, and thus atone for the blow he had given "But," replied Harvey, "he grossly insulted me and I returned the insult with a blow. I think that mates us even, or, if we ain't even, I'll pay up the balance. The second was surprised to heai such a response from a gentleman who had married into a -ereole aniily, and, as a mutual friend, warned Harvey that if he persisted in this view of the affair he would be tabooed by all his wife's relatives.

The suggestion somewhat alarmed Harvey, ana he askeu his vis itor what would be the terms of the proposed combat. The second, brightening up at the success of his appeal to the better feel ings" of Harvey and at the prospect of a lively allair, quickly responded: "Uh, of course, being the challenged party, you have the choice of weapons." This announcement was a great relief to Harvey, who knewiabro to bean experienced duelist, skilled with the pistol and rapier. He therefore asked. with an air of great simplicity, what were the weapons usually employed by gentlemen on such occasions. nsiois, sworus, rines, snot-guns, or any dangerovis weapon in which you may be skilled.

"I understand you," Harvey replied, and my weapons are harpoons hick ory handles, ten ieetin lengtn; distance twenty feet apart. I have a brace of them, from which our friend can take his choice. The ereole was astounded, shocked and puzzled; still more horriliedwas he when Harvey showed him one of these weapons, which had seen good service on the Pacific. "Why," he exclaimed, "do you think my friend is a fish to be struck by such a tool as Fish or no lish," Harvey replied. "that is my weapon.

Your friend is quite as skillful in- handling word or pistol as I am with the harpoon. When 1 challenge him, he will have the of weapons, and now I claim the right. as the challenged party, to choose the only one which I feel I can use with skill and eSect," "But, sir, your proposition is bizarre and ridiculous, and wid bring contempt on all who are engaged in it. This is a serious and I expect you to treat it serionslr." You'll find harpoons various enough," replied Harrcy, atthe- same time going through the harpoon exercise as practised on whaling ships." I he indignant creole -retired in ex treme disgust. A nd the day every body in the city knew of this spoiled duel.

It may indicate the radical dif ference of ideas of the 'two xaces that whileFabre's Creole friends reported the' incident as one which reflected great disgrace on- Harvey, the Americans laughed over it most heartily as a rich joke and a fair- commentary upon the absurdity of the diiello. JS'eto Orleans Cor. Finladclphia Lay a Fainting Person Down. It is surprising rushes at a fainting person and strives to raise him up, and especially to keep his head erect. There must be an instinctiva apprehension that if a "person seized with a fainting or other nt tail into the recumbent position death is more imminent.

I must have driven a mile today while a lady fainting was held upright. I found her pulseless, white. and apparently dying, and I believe that if I had delayed ten minutes longer she would really have I laid her head down on a lower level than her body, and immediately color returned to her lips and cheeks, and she became conscious. To the excited group of friends I said: Always remember this fact namely: fainting is caused by a want of blood in the brain; the heart ceases to act with sufficient force to send the usual amount of blood to the brain, and hence the person loses consciousness because the function of the brain ceases. Restore the blood to the brain and instantly the person recovers.

Now, though the blood is propelled to all parts of the body by the action of the heart, vet it is still under the influence of the laws of gravitation. In the erect posi tion the blood ascends to the head against gravitation, and the. supply to the brain is diminished, as compared with the recumbent position, tha heart's pulsation being equal. If, then, you place a person sitting whose heart has nearly ceased to beat, hi brain will fail to receive blood, while if you lay him down, with the head lower than the heart, blood will run into the brain by the mere force of gravity; and, in fainting, in sufficient quantity to restore consciousness. "Indeed, Nature teaches us how to manage the fainting persons, for thev always fall, and frequently are at once restored by the recumbent "posl tion into which they are thrown.
