Took a Thief's Word.
Some time ago‘we reported a robbery
in G. a: S. H. Bolmes’ store, which was
kept pretty quiet at the request of one of
the firm. It was poms little time before
a clue was obtained to the thief, which
proved to be a colored man named Wil-
liams, who was an employeeio thestors.
Two days after the robbery he left town
and did not come back for a week.
When he did come back he was charged
with the theft which amounts to‘nearly
8300, and he acknowledged it, and said
he would pay it back. The firm took his
word for it. They are very sorry now
they did, for Mr. Williams has disap-
peared again. and they are still minus
the 3300.

Practical Tests at the Slot-rs l'. sperltnent
lltatlon.
The bulletin of the Stem school agri-
cultural experiment station for October
contains detailed accounts of experiments
on the effect of tillage on soil moisture.
Eight deep eaves were filled with differ-
ent kinds of soil. Seine had the surface
stirred to recorded depths and others
were let alone. All were repeatedly
tested for loss of water by evaporation.
The summing up. which follows detailed
figures. Is as follows: “Thalesson which
these experiments illustrate, and others
explain more fully, is the value of sur-
face tillage. it Is not simply for the
sake of woods that the farmer hoes his
corn. Weeds are his enemies, but drouth
ls worse; and the moisture is often insuf-
ficient for full yield even when no
drouth is apparent. The outline reserve
stores of water for his crops, but in sum-
mer the supply gets low, and the same
force of capillarity which brings It up to
where the roots of his plant can get it,
carries it past them to the surface, where
the sun‘s heat changes it to vapor and
winds b at it away. lloeing and culti-
vating loosen the upper layer of the soil.
The pores through which the water is
drawn up are thus enlarged, and the
connection between them is broken:
capillary action is consequently hindered
and less water passes through. At the
some time more air enters. and the
loosened layer conducts less heat to the
soil beneath. The loosened layer acts ass
mulch, and tends to keep the soil below
cooler while it prevents the water from
reaching the surface, and thus in a two-
fold manner, protects the rising moisture
from evaporation. In this way the wise
cultivator uses the forces of nature to
bring water to the roots of his plants.
and at the same time to prevent its pas
sing by them and escaping into the air.
The water is freighter] with plant food,
~pnrt of it dissolved from the soil about
the roots. and part derived from the air
above. S.) the crops are nourished and
the yield of the land increased.

How Some People Act when they are not
to Blame.
Strange people often come to town;
strange because they seldom visit thickly
populated localities and when they do
they care very little about learning the
ways of other people. One of these indivi-
duals, who places a Mr. before his name.
arrived here a few days ago and started
out to see the sights. He at once show-
ed signs of wisdom by securing as com-
pany two bashful young ladies to pilot
him around. He purchased peanuts,
chestnuts and cigars and all other articles
necessary to satisfy his natural desires
and appetite. The thought at last struck
him that he should purchase some little
present for his devoted friends. 110 eu-
tered a drug store, but so unlike the one
where he came from, that his actions be-
trayed him to a number of lockers on.
After gazing into the mirror and evident-
ly admiring his moustache, which was
waxed to perfection, he said: "Now
gals, what's the use keepin’ the man
alwaitin‘; hurry up and pick out some-
thing. ] ain‘t here to take the roof off
the man's head. There is a thundering
lot of prefumery on those gloss boxes
and I bet yer it wouldn't take mess long
as that to pick out some where I come
from. We do things in a hurry up that,
and don't yer forget it." Taking the
cork out of a bottle containing some
choice extract and smelling of it, be con-
tinued: “Say gals, that's mighty fins
stuff in that; if it wasn't green I'd buy
some fer yer." Addressing the clerk, he
said, “Surpose you put up some of that
green and white stuff and if them wom-
en can‘t use it, I’ll take it to my, form
and put it on the horses."
Of course the young ladies felt embar-
rassed and who wouldn't under the cir-
cumstances. But the countryman kept
on and his friends had some difficulty
getting him to leave the store. All
hands then enjoyed a hearty laugh.

lllnorlty Governors in Connecticut.
It may not be any defence of our sys-
tem, but it is an interesting fact, worth
the notice of those who have not made a
study of the subject. that there is noth-
ing new about the election of state ofiiv
cars by the legislature because no candi-
date has a majority of all the votes. It
has already been done thirteen times be-
ginning with 1842,,snd so far five demo-
cratic governors and three republicans
have been elected in that way. Mr.
Bulkeley will make the fourth republi-
can, and the fourteenth instance. There
have been plurality and minority candi-
back in 1854, Governor Henry Dalton
was elected though his vote was but 19,~
404 to 28,338 for Ingham (dem.). 10,672
for Chapman (arm) and 2,560 for. Hooker
(free soil). Andrews (rep) in 1878 had a
plurality, and Toucey (den) in 1816 had
a minority. Critics may say that each
case illustrates further the so-called “in.
justice," but we have meanwhile made
out to live and to maintain a govern-
ment which we are proud to compare
with that of any other stator-Hartford
