yeai’s of age. 
The widow of Gou, Grant is passing the 
summer at Long Branch, and is so much im¬ 
proved in health and spirits that the members 
of her family have ceased to be worried about 
her. 
It never rains but it pours on the farm of 
Mvrou Huskiugs, of Maple Grove, Mich. The 
other day Mrs. Huskings gave birth to trip¬ 
lets, two ewes to five lambs, and the family 
cat to seven kittens.

Miss Rose Coghi.an owns a farm at Yon¬ 
kers, where she raises her own pigs and chick¬ 
ens, and where she will, when the inclination 
seizes her, mount a mowing-machine ahd cut 
her own hay. An excellent actress, but a 
poor farmer. 
Mr. Ai.vtn Clark, founder of the famous 
telescope manufactory at Cambridge, Mass, 
is dangerously ill. He is over S3 years of age, 
and up to last Thursday was remarkably act¬ 
ive for one of bis age. His death is expected 
at any moment. 
The very numerous Poor family will have 
its reuuiou this year at Haverhill, on Septem¬ 
ber 14. Since the last meeting two widely- 
known members—Harris J. Poor aud Ben: 
Perley Poor—have died. Many of the Poors 
are quite wealthy'.

Armsby, Professor of Agricultural Chemistry 
at the Wisconsin State University, had ac¬ 
cepted the directorship of the Pennsylvania 
Agricultural Experimental Statiou, aud will 
leave for the East in a few days. 
The Rev. Stephen Gladstone, son of 
“the Grand Old Man,’’ has for 18 years presid¬

in England, yielding some $l6,U0ti a year.

\ ictoria, the Prince of Wales aud other royal 
children. 
A I’ rench laud-owner named Bareiller re¬ 
cently died. He was once mayor of his towu 
but, after assaulting a workman, was com! 
pelled to spend a year in prison. His disgrace 
alienated hisalfeotion from his native laud and 
his large property is willed to the Crown 
Prince of Germany. 
Mrs. Langtry’s 7,000 acres of California 
land cost her just *100,000. All thetalkal out 
her becoming u citizen of the United States 
appears to be bosh. She cannot become a 
citizen unless her legal domicile is here. -A 
wife * domicile is that of her husband, aud 
Mr. Langtry’s domicile is England. 
The Austrian Government has withdrawn 
the Pusteur money grant to the General Hos¬ 
pital at Vienna, the treatment for hydropho¬ 
bia having proved a failure. Pasteur, how¬ 
ever, bas supreme faith in it, and an English 
Commission that recently investigated it in 
Paris has reported favorably on it. 
Miss Anna H. Whitney, of Lancaster, 
"Mass,, is one of the most successful breeders 
ot St. Bernard dogs in America She spent 
years in Switzerland studying the dogs, aud 
she is recognized as an authority. She is the 
proprietor of the Chequasseti kcunels, und finds 
time also to conduct the Chequasset School 
for girls. 
Some one threw a head of cabbage at Igna¬ 
tius Donnelly, the Minnesota Shakespcurcan 
expositor and ex-Congressman, while lie was 
making a speech once. He paused a second 
and said: “Gentlemen, I only asked for your 
ears; 1 don’t care for your heads!” He was 
not bothered any more during the remainder 
of his speech. 
There’s another report, that Sum ley Afri- 
canus has been massacred by natives after he 
had been deserted by bis followers. It comes 
through Zanzibar and Paris, whereas the last 
doleful reports came from t he other (west) side 
of the Dark Continent, and the West Indies. 
4 hose who ought to know best in Europe don’t 
think the report true. 
Colqrow, the troublesome chief of the Ute 
Indians, now causing so much fear iu Col¬ 
orado aud Wyoming, is years old and 
weighs 250 pounds, but is rejiorted to be as 
tough aud spry as a feather-weight youngster. 
The old rascal claims a vast section of coun¬ 
try, and has been living at large off the Res¬ 
ervation since 1879, exacting black mail from 
the settlers in the guise of a royalty on their 
land which he claimed to own. 
Captain John Barr, of the Scottish cutter 
the Thistle, is a fiucly developed man, a little 
over 40 years of age, and he has pleasant feat¬ 
ures, bronzed by exposure to the weather, and 
framed in dark hair cut short, aud a beard 
and mustache of considerable length. His 
eyes are lat ge, and although mild, seem en¬ 
dowed with extraordinary power of percep¬ 
tion, while his voice, although soft, has great 
compass. 
Dr. Charles W. Dabney, Jr., Director 
of the North Carolina Experiment Station, 
bas been secured as president of the Agricul¬ 
tural College connected with the State Uni¬ 
versity at Knoxville, Tenn. Under his man¬ 
agement it is to be hoped that some of the 
money which the University has been receiv¬ 
ing from the National grant will at length be 
devoted to the purposes for which it was 
intended. 
The Rev. Dr. C. A. Bartol has the reputa¬ 
tion of being the richest clergyman in the 
Unitarian Church. He is a large real estate 
owner at Manchester, Mass., where bis light, 
little figure may bo seen any morning iu his 
row-boat pulling a vigorous stroke, with gray 
flaunel shirt and big straw hat and face well 
bronzed with exposure, looking the picture of 
happiness and content. 
“Little Jake” Selligman, of Michigan, is 
not live feet high, and yet he is a millionaire, 
a director in nine banks aud four railroads, 
and the owner of a large amount of real 
estate. He went to Michigan 25 years ago 
with only *L00 iu his pocket. He started in 
the clothing business on a borrowed capital of 
?200, and spent, the *100 cash he had in hiring 
a brass band and four horses, and scattering 
circulars advertising his business over the 
country. 
Jesse Grant, one of the younger sons of 
the General, came very near being killed by a 
stroke of lightniug at East Lynne, Conn., dur¬ 
ing a r< cent thunderstorm. Mr. Grant, his 
wife aud two children were sitting with other 
guests in the parlor of their boarding-house, 
whrn the room was suddenly illuminated with 
an extraordinary flash of lightning, with a 
noise similar to that of an explosion, and ac¬ 
companied by a strong odor of sulphur. Mr. 
Grant was severely injured, but Mrs. Grant 
escaped uuburt. 
The Marquis aud Marquise Des Mores, 
famous for their cattle interests iu Dakota, are 
now at logger heads in Pains. Sbe used to be 
Miss Von Hoffman, daughter of a wealthy 
banker of this city. He was reported to have 
invested nearly $2,100,000 in laud, cattle and 
other enterprises connected with live stock in¬ 
terests. Lately he lost heavily by the Nation¬ 
al Meat Consumers’ Company and other ven¬ 
tures, and after having been arrested here for 
alleged breach of contract, followed his wife 
to Paris. Now she is suing for a divorce on 
the ground that she “cannot endure his tem¬ 
per.” There are reports that most of the 
money he invested in the live stock business 
came from her or her people. 
Governor Hill, of New York, has re¬ 
solved to devote marly all September to visit¬ 
ing agricultural fairs. He has nine counties 
on his list already, and is adding more every 
day. He will begin on Sept 2, at Fonda, 
Montgomery County. On the 8th be will see 
what Saratoga Couuty can show, at Ballston 
Spa. On the loth he will visit the Herkimer 
Couuty uxbition at Herkimer, goiug thence 
the next day to Fulton, Oswego County, and 
to Ithaca. Tompkins Couuty, the following 
day. Sept. 1<> and 17 will be spent n Phila¬ 
delphia, where the Governor will represent 
the State of New York at the Constitutional 
Centennial celebration. The Orange County 
show at New burg, is on the card for Sept. 22; 
Rockland Couuty, at New York City, Sept. 
23; Steuben Couuty, at Bath, Sept. 29, and 
Yates County, at Penu Yau, Oct. 0. 
Miss. Mihdie Morgan, live-stock reporter 
of the N. Y. Times aud Herald, and formerly 
of the Rural New-Yorker, is a tall, thin, 
long-visaged, bronze-faced woman, about 45, 
dressed, week >lays, usually iu limp, skimp, 
brownish blue stuff made iu way lack fashion, 
and short enough to display a heavy pair of 
thick-soled, unpolished brugans, fit for tramp¬ 
ing in search of information through the 
stock-yards where the roughest cow-puncher 
is respectful in her presence. She is reported 
to know more about, horses than any woman 
and probably any man iu America. In busi¬ 
ness she is tliruughly horn at, hard-working 
aud faithful. Outside of business she is said 
to be brilliant, charming and entirely tcuu- 
niue. In aud out of business she has secured 
the admiration and respect of all whokuow 
her, though her tall, stooping figure, neavy 
tread and eccentric dresi attract the gaping 
attention of strangers as she frequently passes 
the Rural office. 
LITERARY NOTES. 
The story of a New York House brings out 
a thought that is generally accepted as true. 
The sons and grandsons of most rich men de¬ 
generate. As a rule large fortuues are not 
added to by those who inherit them. A man 
starts out in life with a moderate competence. 
By close application he accumulates property. 
His sons do not work as he did and his grand¬ 
sons are yet more idle. The descendants, or 
most of them, degenerate physically aud men¬ 
tally. The power and the ability are there, 
but they are never developed u ntil after the for¬ 
tune has wasted away, some one of the family 
puts life into the old ancestor’s energy, aud 
accumulates another fortune. It is seldom 
that a fortune lasts through four generations. 
Inherited wealth generally makes students 
or spendthrift —neither of these classes can 
hold money'. If this were not so Henry George 
and his theory would attract more of the 
true laboring men. It is generally believed by 
thinking men that property iu this country 
will turn over every 100 years or so—that the 
sons of poor men to to-day have more than a 
fair chance to handle the property which rich 
men’s sons cannot hold together. 
The American Magazine is an admirable 
monthly. It improves with every number. 
It is conducted on a unique plan. The series 
of articles describing the people and country 
“Aloug the C'aribean” are excellent in every' 
way. There is a strange country to the south 
of us. It is a land of great possibilities, and 
its future history is sure to be mixed with our 
own. Let a water-way across the isthmus be 
opened and these sleepy South American 
towns would spring iutoanew life. Where 
are the immigrants of the future to go to? We 
are getting crowded in this country. If our 
population increases as rapidly as now seems 
probable, in 1925 there will be hardly breath- 
ing room here. Where will the restless and 
the ambitious go then? What new worlds 
are left open ? The lower portion of South 
America will doubtless prove a rich field for 
the future immigrant. Africa, too, will offer 
homes to the thousands who will be squeezed 
out of the older countries. How little we 
know of Africa—that silent, dark country. It 
will be years before we can know more. 
There is a very touching story in the Sep¬ 
tember number of the American Magazine 
entitled “A Woman Who Failed.” In many 
respects it is one of the best American short 
stories we have ever read. This woman failed 
because she could not give her husband the 
sympathy aud devotion he needed. He was a 
poor, struggling doctor fighting bis way up 
into practice and reputation. Such a man 
needed a brave, hopeful wife. This woman 
was a weak creature who, during her hus- 
hand's hardest fight with poverty could not 
help reminding him that had she married her 
other lover her life would have been easier. 
She did not deserve to succeed. The woman 
wbu can watch her husband battle manfully' 
and honestly against poverty' and remind him 
that somebody else might have made more of 
a successes as cruel as the man who marries a 
delicate woman, watches her grow tired and 
feeble over her work and then informs her 
that he might have married a stronger and 
healthier woman. 
When success did come to this doctor, his 
wife could not share it with hint. She had 
not earned her share of it. “To him that 
overcometh will 1 give a crown of life.” Only 
those who fight and overcome are rewarded. 
It is the wife who stands true as steel at her 
husbands side, believing in him no matter 
how life may treat them, doing a woman’s 
part patiently and faithfully, who deserves to 
succeed, who can enjoy her husbaud’s success. 
There are thousands who work on bravely 
aud faithfully only to see the honor won by 
their work claimed by others. They do not 
fail, A promise has been given them which 
dull aud uneventful lives never eau under¬ 
stand.
