A Connecticut man is nevar happy unless lie is inventing something. Even the children have a fancy for the business. Last summer a Connecticut farmer's boy visited Barnum's circus and saw the catapult. It suggested a tramp bouncer to be set under a man's doorstep, and he at once went to work to build one. As be wanted to surprise bis fatber he kept the matter a secret, and worked like a beaver up in the hay-loft of the barn, building the machine. Finally h* got it done. It was a magnificent machine, worked by a spring capable of throwing 150 pounds a distance of 30 feet. This mscbine be buriod in the bay till he sboold be raady to tact it. Something possessed bis father'* hired man to go up in that hay-loft the next day, and he coatrivad to get right on tha foot-board of tha machine, and was slung whirling across tbe baru into a half-filled bay of of bay on tha opposite side. Alighting on the hay saved bim from serious injury, but not from surprise. He didn't ex pect any such experience, and was not at all pleased at it. Neither did he un. derstand it; and a* SSOO wouldn't-have induced him to goon that bay-loft (gain, he didn't find out what threw bim. And fear of ridicule prevented his mention ing it. That night two tramps tried to sleep in that bay-loft, and gave it up as a bad job, aft«r a snd experience. Tbey bad crawled into the bay, and were get ting themselves fixed when on* got foul of tbe machine, and immediately his companion heard a whiz, a wild yell and then calls for help from tho other side of the barn. He arose to go to hi* com panion, and got there quicker than ha expected. 11* found bis friend very curious to know what tossed bim and somewhat scared. Tbe way those tramps fled from that barn was a caution. The next day, while all the folks were away on a visit, the lad got the machine down under tbe front doorstep. Temporarily he attached the wire that let it going to the doorbell. When the folks returned tbey all stood on the doorstep, and the old man rang to be let in. With so much weight the machine couldn't throw 'eut frr, aut it rose up enough to duiup 'em. The old man was the first to get up. He sprang once more ou the step and rang violently. He wasn't a very big man, and it did seem aa though the Lord had put that deep snowdrift, forty feet away, juit on purpose to catch him. They got him out, filled with terror and went in tbe back way. There they told tbe itory and the boy explained, and the old man ran him out and atood htm on tbe machine six times, and he butted that snowdrift all to pieces. He will j not patent tbe machine, believipg that it i is too cruel a thing for these enlightened 1 days. Hut he's glad the old man had an car nearly toru off when he got slung by it. Culinary. BEE* COLLOPR.—I'ut one ounce of butter and half an ounce of flour in a itewpan ; blend them over a fire until tbey turn brown ; then add seasoning to tatse, with half a aaltspoonful *f powder ed mace'; mix them well together, and add half a pint of good brown stock, three tablespoont'als of mushroom catsup, and half a gill of pert; mince one pound of rump steak finely (not cooked,) pnt it into the prepared gravy ; add a grain of garlic, let it gently simmer fifteen min utes ; serve in a hot dish, with alternate forcemeat balls and sippets. If lite gra vy tor this dish is made with bones of a roast bare, with a little enrrant jelly, added, it can scarcely be told from game. CHICKEN CROQUETTES. —Boil one chicken with an onion thrown into the water ; add some bones and pieces of beef also. Cut the chicken, when cook ed, into small dice, mince half a large onion, or one small one, and two sprigs of parsley together. Put into a sauce pan a piece of butter tbe sixe of a small egg; when hot pnt in the minced onion and parsley, and half a eupful of flour. Stir well until it is well oooked and of a light brown color; then add • cupful and a half of stock in the kettle boiled down until quite strong, then freed from 1 fat; the stronger the stock the better. I Stir it into a smooth paste, add pepper, : salt, not quite half a grated nutmeg, and the juice of a quarter of a lemon. When all is well stirred mix in the pieces of ohieken; mould into eroquette ahape, or into tlie form of pears; when they are dipped in egg and ine cracker crumbs fry them in boiling-bot lard. If they are pear-shaped put a stem of panley into the small end of each pear. When did the ooetn product eropt' —lu the d»j» of C«crop» They gave it lo me at Christmas—the pretty new autogaaph album—and 1 waa very proud of it; the binding was so gay, and the wbite, gilt-edge aheeta so spotlessly pure. I eould hardly make up my mind who should have the honor of dedicating that album, or what verae was grand enough to be inscribed on ita pages, and before I had quite decided, baby found it! She had toddled into the parlor and taken it down from tlie table beforeVe missed her, and waa ait ting cross-legged like a Turk, with the precious book in her lap. That would not have been worth record iug, and 1 should not value my album beyond price uow if all. j tfnt rhc . pencil—for she dearly loved 10 scribble on bits of paper—and she had made her mark on the front leaf (the title page) of my beautiful book. She had made a dozen marks, crisi-crose and aig-zag, and there ahe eat, her bright hair toaaed over her face, her little demure mouth pursed up, her blue eyes full of mischiefi half shy, half defiant, and wo three wo men looking at her. "Oh, you naughty, naughty baby !" 1 cried ; "you've just ruined aiy new al bum, you bad little thing!" "Bles4 her dear little heart," said my mother ; "doesn't she make a picture !" "Whip her," said Aaat Harriet in a vindictive tone. She haa no children of her own and knows just how to bring up other people's. I was angry enongh to do it, aad bad made one step forward intending to wreat the book out of the clasping baby hands, and then—what' beat my own child ? 1 was saved that degradation by my own good mother, wbo shook her head at me over Aunt Harriet's shoulder. How long is ft sines Christmas 1 Counting by heart-throbs I should say years! years ! It is only • couple of months, and to-day 1 would give, oh ! what would I not give, to have those little hands doing their swaet mischief. Peace, foolish heart! "He giveth his beloved rest." The baby is gone. But when I look at the little, short lines that dedicate my album—tha sweetest, sad dest lines to we that were.ever soon ended, like her little life—l am glad that 1 took her in my arms, kissed the rosebud lips, and put the book away without one reproving word—glad that I caused no angry feelings in tbe baby heart, or left memories for myself that would uow have power to wound. Thai is why all the leaves of iny new album are blank—pure, spotless, just as the fair page of her little life was ; but you who think these characters on the dedicating page unmeaning, have never had the key to them. Mothers can tell what they are. Angels will be glad over this record without blot or slain. There is no handwriting so fine that I would exchange it for the baby's auto graph. As for us— Our lives are albums written through With good or ill, with falie or true, And as the bleaaed angels turn The pages of our years, God giant tbey read the good with smiles And blot tbe bad with tears. —Detroit Free Press. Railroads. If there is any one thing, more than all othar things combined, to which the greater prosperity of the North as com pared with the South may be ascribed, that thing is the superior railroad sys tem of the North. The chief reason for this difference between the two sec tions as to their railroad advantages has heretofore been found in the fact'that the South, being an agricultural country, had not the same urgent necessities as the North for transportation facilities of this particular character. Hut now, with slavery gone and. gone forever, and with the attention of our people direct ed to the mineral resources, the manu facturing capacities, the great wealth of forest timber around them—the South has ceased, and ceased forever, to be au agricultural country only ; and rail roads are as iudispensable to her prosper ity as is rain to the farmei 's crops. If at the close of the war the "South had had the railroads which she has now she would loug ago have been upon her feet again. But it was not so ; and in their efforts for recuperation the south ern people have had to move forward step by step, making progress of the railroads that have been built in differ ent directions through different regions of their country. These railroads have been constructed, for the most part, by northern capital ooming into the South for the development of southern resourc es. These resources are the foundations on which the hopes of the South for her future wealth and strength are based. Weather Forecasts Vennor has published the following predictions of the weather for the remain der of the jear 1882 : The season will merit the designation of cool to cold and wet, generally. Not that there will not be terms of summer warmth, and even intense heat, for periods, but rather that I these last will appear in the retrospect as of but pomparativs insignificance, or as the eioeptions to tbe general rule. The season will be marked by not 011- ly great precipitation, but by a muggi ness of atmosphere, generally, caused by tlie reeking condition of the earth and tbe long continuance of olouded sky. This will result in periods of extreme sultriness heavy weather, during which thunder and bail storms will occur. In other words, the summer will be the rerersa of clear and dry. There is a likelihood of June and Au gust frosts in Northern, Western and Southern sections, and a general cold ware may occur toward midsummer. 1 he autumn .aonths will continue moist. September will probably giro rains and floods in Western and Seutheru sections of tbe I. nited States. October will be much the same, with early cold and anow falls. November will begin the winter of 1882-'B^—a winter likely to be memorable on account of Its excep tionable heavy snow falls and very cold weathor over the whole Northern Hemi sphere. That a "cold and wet summer is invariably followed by a cold and stormy winter," is a truth now so well | roven and borne out by the testimony of past records that we cannot lightly put it aside, and if®We have good and sufficient grounds for predicting the for mer—as we most assuredly have at this lime—it is but right that we should warn tbe people of the latter in good season. The approaching season will probably be the first of a couple of wet summers, and, as 1882 is, so is 1883 likely to be. Circumstantial Evidence. Over a year ago a man named George Bennett was sent to the penitentiary county, lowa, for three years, a sentence imposed upon him sfter heinj; convicted of selling a quantity of grain to a dealer in Red Oak, represen ting himself to be a farmer residing near that place. The fraud was not detect ed until the sharper had skipped, and after some search Bennett was taken in on the charge by one of that class of men who are detectives because they are too .stupid to make a living at any thing else Bcnnette was taken before the swindled grain man. They recollect ed that the man who swindled them had a chin of peculiar shape, and this man had that kind of a chin. On this sort of testimony one of that wise body of men known as grand juries indicted the man. He was tried in oourt. The grain man swore to the chin story. The poor fellow himself on the stand denied each and every charge, but the jury were all men too smart too believe auy ting that a man under arrest would say, and voted him guilty, and tbe wise judge sentenced him to three years in the pen itentiary. It seems that Sheriff Palmer, of the county, was not satisfied with the iden tification of tbe man, and set to work to ferret it out and disoover tho true crim inal. He found a clew, and was soon on the track of his man—one William Hill. He found bim in Missouri and arrested bim. At first he vociferously denied the charge. But when ho was told that snother man had been arrested and convicted for the crime and was now serving out a term in the peniten tiary for itjie said, with a touch of hu man teeling : "I was mean enough to swtndlo the grain firm out of the money when I was bard up, but 1 am not inean enough to let another man serve out the punish ment for my crime." He went willingly with the sheriff to Red Oak, and seemed so impatient to free the msa wbo was suffering on his account that be asked te be taken before a notary, where be swore to his own gailt. This sworn statement, with a large petition from tbe people, including the two juries wbo had tried and con victed Bennett, and the judge who had senteuced bim, were laid befure Governor Sherman, who signed the pardon at once. The grand jury also investigated Hill's case and indicted him. A huge wbalc, harpooned off Prov incetown, on Monday, was towed into one of the Boston docks, on Wednesday. Ik weighs 27 tons; is 62 feet in girth, and its jaws have a spread of 25 feet. The monster is now undergoing the embalming process and will probably swing round the circle in the wake of some traveling shew daring the summer. A Wonderful Cute. Among the passengers who arrived in the city oiii tbe south bound train Wednes day night were man aud a woman from New York, who were a particularly con spicuous couple. The woman was the man's wife, but accompanied him more as a nurse than anything else. The man was an invalid, on his way to the sunny cliiue of Florida, and stopped over in Charlotte to get a night's re*t. He was afflicted with some peculiar mal ady of the throat, which made artificial respiration necessary. A hole was cut in bis throat just under the chin, and into this was inserted an iron tube which was held in place by a chain passed around his neck. Tbe man could not talk, but seemed to breath with the great est ease. He has been living in this manner for two months, subsisting on liquid nourishment wl ich is passed into his throat through tbe tube. Tbey stopped at the Central over night and resumed their journey on the noon train yesterday. It is a most remarkable case and is a striking evideneo of the skill and ingenuity of the profession of to-day. Charlotte Observer. Applauding a Blir* I'ussagc There was an unusual and touching scene in tbe House of Representatives at Washington recently. In tlie front row of the gallery, while the Senate bill providing for the payment of the claim for the destruction of the brig General Armstrong was under consideration, sat a lady with four curly-b»adcd little boys and one sweet-faced little girl. The little group manifested great interest in the proceedings. They kept their eyes on the floor and watched when the tellers announced every vote. When they an nounced the result—the passage of the bill by a two-thirds majority—the boys unable lo contain themselves, leaped upon the bench on which they had been sitting, and clapped their hands vigor ously, kissing the lady who had them in charge the while. Of course they at tracted attention, and as soon as it had been whispered around that they were Mrs. lleid and her children, the heirs to wlyirn tardy justice was about to be done, the men on the floor joined in the applause of tbe curly heads in the gal lery. In the early day* of Buffalo a leading lawyer was arguing a case in the Court of Common Picas where one of the side judges presided—the first judge not be ing on the bench. To show bis superi ority, the judge often put irritating questions to (he counsel. To help the uialter along, the two other side judges on the beneh annoyed the lawyer in a similar manner. At last he could stand this no longer, and, pausing in tbe midst of his argu ment, he said : "If your Honors will excuse me I would like to say that this court reminds nie of a Virginia rag-bag team." "Well,sir, what kind of a team do you call that ?" asked the judge. "It is a team, your Honor, composed of two mules and a jackass." For this the lawyer was fined sls and two days' imprisonment. There is nothing innocent or good that dies or is forgotten. Let us hold to that faith or none. An infant, a prattling child, dying in its cradle, will live again in the better thoughts of those who loved, and play ita p4rt, through them, in redeeming actions of the world, though the body be burned to asbes, or drowned in the deepest sea. There is not an angel added to tbe Host of Heaven but docs its blessed work on earth in those who loved it here. Forgotten! Ob, if the good desds of human creatures could be traced to their source, how beautiful even would death appear ; for how much charity, mercy and purified j affection wonld seem to have their growth in tbe grave.— DICKENS.

Take two ounces of arrowroot, mix it with a pint of uiilk, a little sugar and a small pieoe of butter; stir it over the fire until it boils, acd then pour it into the pie dish with the apples and jam, and bake until done. "What is the matter?" asked a law yer of his coachman. "The horses are running away, sir." "Can't you pull them up ?" "I am afraid not." "Then," said the lawyer after judicial delay, "run into something very cheap." NO. 51. SMALL MITKS. Ihe corn in Georgia is in silk and tassel. There are nine daily papers in North Carolina.

The recent cold nights have had a most injuiious effect upon the cotton crop in South Carolina, in many places making replanting necessary. When Amos Lawrence was asked for advice he said : "Young men, base all your actions upon principle ; preserve your integrity and obaracter, and in do ing this never reckon tho oost." Mr. and Mrs. Scoville, who had been having considerable trouble in New York through tho efforts of the former to prevent his wife from lecturing, met in Chicago and had a reconciliation.

"No won der "I've just been blown up by a magazine." "Gentlemen of the jury," said a blun dering counsel, in a suit about a lot of hogs, "there were just thirty-six in the drove. Please remember the fact— thirty-six hogs ; three times as many as in that jury box, gentlemen." That counsel didn't gain bis cas«. An old farmer was in town last week Uoking for an editor's table on wbinh to build a ben's nest.

There are twenty-two annual conferences, presided over by six bishops, ohurch property to the amount of $16,000,000, and a [ recently established institution of learn ing in North Carolina.
