In Congress village lives a' boy.And Clarkson is his name,

You’d say a peaceful kind o f chap, Respectable and tame;

By no means up to any wild, _- Disreputable game."

In school-hoUrS he is at his desk,As close-mouthed as a clam;

He’s never seen with naughty boys—With Dudley. Randall, Sam—

Nor heard to join in idle talk,Such chickens and their dam.

And yet this harmless-looking lad At bottom is, o f all

The Hayesling and bulldozing that Goes on in Congress Hall!

He plans the misenief, and the rest Just follow at his Call.

One day this naughty boy resolved T’ upeet the teacher’s chair ;

But feared resistance, if he should His base intent declare;

So, putting on a pious look.He spoke his fellows fair.

“ You ask me why this string is tied About this arm-chair’s leg ;

It is because I think it rests Upon a rotten peg;

I wish t’ upset, and find out—But don’ t misjudge, I beg

“ Nor think that I mean any harm To him who in it sits;

For, if be thinks his fall would scare.The -school-boys into fits.

He knows there’ll be no danger, if He just gets Up and gits !

“ lam a well-intentioned boy,As all the school allows ;

I have no liking, not a bit,For trouble in the House ;

And if I only bare my way,I’m quiet as a mouse !

“ I just upset the teacher’s chair To serve the public good,

And if I hurt the sawney boys,And gratify the rude, -

I know posterity will say—‘He did the best he could ;

“ ‘He raised an awful bobbery—To keep the school-room quiet;

Upset the teacher’s easy chair—Just to prevent a riot;

And showed his reverence for the law—By threatening to defy it.’ ”

This said, young scapegrace pulled the string, Down came the chair and master!

Down came, alas, the school-house, too,An unforeseen disaster!

The rascal ran with might and main,But justice followed faster.

Too soon for him his biding place Was found, and, Heaven be thanked!

He from beneath his little bed Remorselessly was yanked;

And then, in sight o f all the school, Conspicuously spanked ! '

Dick Barron was one of the most daring among the pioneers, and he appeared to be one o f the most unfor­tunate. Together with others of his neighbors, he had removed from Cen­tral Colorado to the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.. His home was in a wildly romantic and beautiful spot, and fortune seemed to smile on him so far as his pecuniary matters were concerned; for his land yielded well in summer, and the mines gave a fair yield of the “ yellow dross” during the colder months of the year.

But death came to the family ef Dick. Thei first stroke fell upon his eldest sony a lad 12 years. of age. The little fellow was fond of ‘hunting, and with his rifle would -frequently venture a considerable distance from his home, and sometimes very success­ful in bringing down small game. But one day he was absent much be­yond his usual time, and a search dis­covered his mangled remains lying at the bottom of a ledge of rocks. He had evidently fallen from above, and thus met a sudden and cruel death. The blow fell heavily upon Dick and; his wife, hut the man bore bravely up under- his grief, while the. woman gave" way to her melancholy.

Not long after, a second child, a little girl of 5 years of age, sickened and died. It now appeared as if Mrs. Barron would go mad, and for a time her agony, was terrible to behold. But this gradually subsided, and the-? mother began to sink rapidly, and in ' a short time after, she followed her lit-., tie one, leaving another child, a daugh-’. ter 3 years o f age, to the; care of the grief-stricken father. k.

The grief o f Dick 'was not of an- explosive character, but it was deep and enduring. Still he had yet some­thing. to live for, and he- went to work like a .brave man to provide for his little Eva. Winter had set in, and Dick had come to the conclusion to make as much as possible out of the mines before spring, and then to sell his property and-go to-San Francisco, where he could Bccure the advantages o f education for his' little one.

For some 'time* the neighbors of' Dick, as well’ a s ‘ himself, had been much annoyed * b y th e ft . Several Bheep and lambs’had been killed, and large quantities o f poultry stolen.:’ -There was a difference*of opinion with, regard to these depredations. Some said.they;were committed by Indians, others by w'olves!) an'd others by bears.

But as yet no snow had fallen, and,‘ as the ground-was frozen very hard, no tracks could be seen. '

One morning,'' however, the alarm was given. A light snow had fallen through the night, and tracks were discovered; *■ A large grizzly bear was the thief and 'dispoiler, and he must be- hunted down at once. It was not sup- ?posed that they would have to go far to find-the animal, and so Dick seized -his rifle and joined the party, leaving his child still hr bed. - '

The tracks^were.fresh, and a dozen excited men were soon on the trail. In a short time they were on the' mon­ster; but each man paused, turning their eyes upon Dick, waiting for him to speak; The bear - was ‘ standing - ;near- the cabin idoor of-Barron,' gazing at. the child,!who.was 'seated-nh Tthe- doorway, - watching- the animal - with- ,evident;'oufio_sity, but with no sigh’ of- ''fear;-- -- v • j * ’• *- ~l»-{ i Dick’ felt' his very'heart sink within1 ;him' as hersaV this,.but;' his: weakness l passed -away1 itf ari instanti' an'd7 withi - iout removing'hia'eyes from .’ the /bear ' he said: - ^

“ Men oan you um your rifles with Steady hands?’1

repliffi m w * k

“ Then raise them and have them ready. Be sure your aim is good, and that every bullet would be buried in in the beast in case of firing, but hold your shots until I give the word.”

Instantly every rifle was raised. Dick moved carefully around to­

ward the back of the cabin. I t was his intention to enter the window, seize the little one, draw her back, and, closing the door, save her. But now the animal began to’ utter low growls and advance'toward Eva. The father saw this and exclaimed:

“ My darling, get up, go into the house and close the door!”

The child looked up, smiled, and then arose, attempting to do the bid­ding o f the father; but the monster advanced with a fearful howl, and as the door was closed against him he struck it with one o f his huge paws, shattering it into splinters.

“ I feared this. Fire! but be care­ful and not injure my child!” cried the father. '

He discharged his own piece, and at the same time a dozen other rifles rang out. The bear gave a most fear­ful howl, turned upon his enemies, glaring upon them with eyes o f fire, and seemed upon the point of spring­ing upon them. Suddenly, however, the beast appeared to change his mind. Turning quickly around, the monster entered the cabin. A shriek w'as instantly heard, and the father instant­l y rushed forward, knife in hand, to save his darling. But he was too late, for with a bound the beast had dashed through the window, holding Eva in his teeth.

Off he ran with all his speed, to­ward the highest mountain peak, while the cries of the little one came back to the ears o f the half-frantic father.

And now the monster began its as­cent, bearing its precious burden. Onward and upward it went, climbing forward, as rocks towering above rocks arose to obstruct its pathway. A ll this time it kept up its fearful howling, and for a while the wails of the child were heard; but they become fainter and fainter, until they, could no longer b o distinguished. A t length it disappeared from view behind a jut­ting ledge.

When the intention of-the animal had first been made apparent, a kind ot terror had seized upon every heart, and a cry of agony burst from every lip. And well might they have shud­dered, for they now knew full well; that the ferocious animal Was a she­ll ear, and that she was carrying the child to her den as food for her little ones.

For a time the father had stood with a face blanched with despair, and with a form trembling like the brown leaves that still hung to the trees around him. But that weakness was only momentary, for he became again the invincible father, and with? the speed of the antelope, he rushed for the cliffs, his eyes fixed upon the point where the bear had disappeared with his darling.

To any hut the father, and to him under any other circumstances, the journey would1 not only have been weary, but an almost impossible One. But the anxious parent paused not for an instant. Indeed he seemed to gain new strength and Courage at : every step. Now a fearful, rocky ledge would obstruct his way, but he would mount: upward, making a ladder of the frail twigs which hung by its side,1 Onward and upward, until the giddy height Upon which he stood WaS fear­ful to .contemplate. But he did not look back. His child was still fur­ther on.

And now the point' was reached where the bear was last seen.

A t this instance a strange 'sound fell upon the ears of the father. A t first it was only the cry of a child. Then, mingling with it, came the fierce: growl of the she-bear,. and following this, the yelping of cubs.' Oh, what agony filled the father’s heart at that moment! Gould it be that the ravenous beasts were already devouring his precious treasure?— Dick sank upon the solid rock, while- the perspiration rolled in streams from his face and body. A blindness came over him, and he felt himself utterly, unable to help himself. . .

Then came aivoice from below. It exclaimed: ’

■ “ Courage, Dick; I ’ ll be with you-ina moment and we will yet' save your: child!” - ; " '

: “ Child! child!” murmured Dick, starting u p j-“ yes, J must not give way to this weakness so long as my child lives;*and I can hear her voice even now.” •

The poor father became strong; again. He moved forward a few- ‘steps and glanced around a point of rocks, from behind which came the sounds..

A terrible sight met his gaze. .The little girl was lying "upon her

back upon the rock. The monster was near her, holding her down with one of her hugh paws, which rested upon her breast.. The little girl had ceased her -smugglings, evidently iu despair;, and was sobbing as if its poor little heart was broken.: The bear was bleeding profusely, and had evi­dently fallen from . exhaustion. -The bullets which, had been sent .into her ‘ body had .given her, no .’doubt, a mor­tal wound, but she was tenacious of ; life, and could?accomplish-much after . that wound was received before -her; life-was yielded;

■Like the parent’ who now sought; his daughter; the'first thought of the bear was of her young, an'd. 'even in, her dying-agony she had clung, to^tho; foqd which, she1 ha’d brought; them. 1■ -.Only a.fewer.feet higher sup:, were; ihe -cubs.I* ;They isaw - their.- mother,- and;-- • they - appeared; -'to'' anticipate - a" great-feastV/for-theywere’ ^strugglihg^ td; reach'fit,0 while they lifted up' 'their1 voices'ini' chorus rwith' their parenV1 *>.LA i «wi L•j&rj, V-l. Ml*-* *1 * ":,4 i-yll?| ,-Dick kjie^that -ihor .must, isave* his_ -dEil soojftTo -ijr-%ovticlt|>Q:too.- Sohe resolved to creep as near as possi­ble to thb monster; and spring upon her with his knife, for in hie hist#.

and excitement he had dropped his rifle. ; ;*

Just as ho was moving forward, the bear turned and their eyes met. The dying beast uttered a terrific howl, and the lo.oked down at her victim. Then she glanced at her own cubs and again towards Dick. Her- expression seemed to say: .

' “ You wifi have no mercy upon my young; why should I have upon yours.

It was a dreadful suspense for Dick. He was. satisfied that the hear could live but a few moments. But what might happen in those few moments? A single blow from the hugh paw and his darling would be torn into frag­ments. A movement on his part might cause the blow to fall.- The hunter becomes so accustomed to the animals with which lie comes in contact that he can-almost read their very thoughts. Their actions can al­ways be interpreted correctly. So it was with Dick now. He knew the intention of the hear, and knew that his own action must he prompt. -

He clutched his knife, and with his arm nerved with desperation, hope, and a father’s love, he. sprang directly at tho throat of the monster, who re­ceived him with a terrific howl and jaws wide open.. Had the beast been uninjured, the struggle, would have been of short duration, for the odds between a grizzly bear and a man would be as great as between a; lion and a mouse. But the; monster was now dying; and death: was near. She retained all her courage and will but not her strength. -

Dick gaye her several rapid blows with his knife. She groaned almost as a. human being would have done, and .fell over on her side. But she recovered in a instant; and, striking Dick, she threw him to the earth. But the father had seized his beloved daughter, and, throwing her aside, she was now out o f danger. .

But not so with himself.He was now stretched flat upon his

back, and both the claws of the beast were upon, his breast, and he could feel the sharp claws entering his flesh. The tiio great glassy eyes .glared into his own, the terrible howl rung in his ears, the jaws were extended, and the long white-teeth glistened, and the blood-red tongue was ready to lap up his blood. He struggled, hut could not move. A moment more and all would be over with him forever, now the death-grip, was fixed upon him.

And to add to his agony he had Seen his child spring off and run to­ward the edge of the cliff. It would be dashed to pieces in falling, even as its brother had been.

But would this be a misfortune since the father must die. Would it not be better-for her to join her loved ones in another world then to be left in this cold one alone? •

Just at that instant, however, there came the'report of a rifle. The bear relaxed her hold and. fell heavily upon the body of Dick.. He rolled the ani­mal away and sprang to his feet. A friend, had arrived in -timo, and not a minute- .too soon. He was holding Eva in his arms. She was not hurt.:

One of the curious articles exhibited at .Tiffany’s is a scarf of gray Canton Crape, which portrays the infernal re­gions, according to the Japanese idea. The scarf is nine- yards long, and half, a yard-wide.-: The first scene repre­sents satan on earth seeking new vic­tims.’ The larch fiend appears as a- sul­phuric, yellowish-green demon,? pro­truding. horns,-doyen -feet, and !a de- moniacal expression,, luring: his; victims into flis net, and plunging, them -. into fiery depths. They! app.ei*r to. fall in­to. a nest;of burning - scorpions, where- they are tantaliz ed by glimpses of their friends enjoying themselves in a'lake of cool water; In, the next-scene Sa­tan takes the form of an immense dra­gon; with his human viotims crouching at his: feet.. They are mercilessly drag­ged? into court, and; th"e,\ judge is rep­resented,as condemning them to be tied tonro.cks,.and; have red-hot' lead pour­ed-dp wn,their-throats. , They are then chased by;hyenas through a field of open knives and other -sharp instru­ments’ The victims are next portrayed as being, tortued by having their rlimbs sawed.off;and by ;being thrown.into a revolving wheel, of fire. Satan next appears to be looking out for victims on a field ?of battle.- iSome of these victims are.made fo hu g red-hot .stove­pipes; while Satan, with a smile;-is fanning them. Others are swimming in; seas ofi blood, surrounded by laugh­ing demons. Others are seated,., in a cauldron,.of. red-hot sulpher,. having their "tongues pulled .out. Some are represented as carrying heavy .burdens of coal’."and;throwihg’it,into the fire to . buriunew /victims;; H is.

CONFEDEKIT X ROADS, I (Which is in Kentucky,) >

' May 31,1878. JYesterday wus a glorious day for

•the Corners. The Corners hez recov­ered from the depreshn uv the past ten yeers and is wunst more feelin its oats.

We found we hed sperit enteff left to decorate the graves uv our fallen heroes— the • Confedrit heroes uv ‘course.

We strewed flowers over the graves, uv our slane heroes, and I deliver­ed the orashun. It wuz a good one, and wuz loudly cheered, espeshly the' sentences wich referred to the imme­diate possibility uv my gittin the post- offis; I never saw sich tetchin affeefc- shun. .“ I will get the $4.50 yoo owe me!” sed wun. “ Yoo will pay mo for (that last pare o f hoots!” sed another, and almost every man in the assem­blage testified to his interest in me.

I remarked that it wuz as about ez piano ez anything could be that the heroes we wuz standing over bed not died in vane. Conkered at Vicksburg, we Were conkerers at Washington. These men hed not died in vane.— They hed taught the South the impor­tant lesson that while if is yoosolis to attack the North in the field, the South kin still govern so long ez there is a Northern Dimocrat wich wants to be President, and another wioh wants a Post-office. They hed taught the folly uv attempting to destroy the Government. Why destroy that wich yoo kin owe? Ez a warlike help the Northern Dimocrats wuz uv no value; to count orte in Congris he is inval­uable.

Hev these men died in vane? Look at their comrades in Washington,— Where are they? Is there a Fedrel soljer appointed to any place in the House? Does a Confedrit hold down his head now in the Capitol ov our country?

Did they die in vane? Look at the appropriashen bills now before the House.

My sole expands ez I think uv it. Our soljers will be penshund. The gray will stand beside the blue, and we shell be on a common level hence­forth. We shell make our penshuns date back to the close uv the war, which will give a middle-aged South­ern man enuff to live on 'Comfortable all the rest uv his days, with a compe­tency for his ‘ children. And when yoo consider that we, wich git all this money, don’ t pay none o f the taxes, the gorgeousnis uv the prospeck kin be appreshiated.

Will the: nigger vote then? Will he be permitted to live on the land wich he.wrestid'frbm .us and wioh he hez since fenced, and bilt cabins oh, ready for our occupancy? M y friends never agin doubt .the .control 'yoo hev. So long ez there.i8 Irish. in Noo York, and distilleries runnin twelve houra a day, there will be a Dimocratic party. And so long-ez the^e is a Dimocratic party, yoo kin bet‘your bottom dollar that the ?Souih will control it, and control it jest, ez she* yoosed to. Our misforchoons hev bin turned into ad­vantages and halleloojy, our sun is now shinin.

. In the evenin we held the yoosual meetin, and passed the yoosual reso- lo'oshens.

A tetchin insident okkurred. A fedrel soljer who lives neer Liberty- ville asked to be allowed to say a word. He hed gone into the war from Illinoy, and hed fought as well as he cood for wat he supposed wuz the? preservashen. uv the yoonyun. He hed bin at Washington,, and he hed heerd speeches and seen . things. He coodent quite make it out,.but it seem­ed to .him that the time hed come for a Northern soljer to make some kind uv an apology for wat he did doorin the war, an'd'"'Kb wuz here for that purpus. He hoped the gallant South-’ eners wood be generous to him, and n o f make it impossible for him to live in-the South, for he prefered the cli- mit. But, uv course, watever we wantid he shood do. Anyhow, he tendered his apology for hevin served under Sherman, and would swear he never wood do it agin, no matter how loudly his country called.

We acceptid his apology, for he made it meekly'enuff. He sed if the leedin Hepublikins waz willin to ' act ez ef- they -wuz ashamed uv being loy­al, he didn’ t's'ee no.reason why he, a lowly indivijjile,. Bhood stand up for it. He cood stand it ef they cood.

■ I am goin to Washington to help out Potter. I hev a man here wich will swear to anything ef yoo will only let him know wat yoo want, and ef Ee breaks down, I shall come to the stand myself. We want, and will hev, Til- den -and.1* Reform1 President; I -kin never forgit the$40j. he .paid m e'for my; vote in the St; Louis -convenshun, and though-- i‘t‘-wasn!t' ez much ez E shood -hev-bin; ■ I shell .not ” go‘ back bnfcb'him-. • He? bough’t ’-the offis and paid*for it,-and-shell-hev it.

Charity.Promiscuous giving can scarcely be§:

called true charity; on the contrary it is often the reverse. The tramp comes jr along— often a young and hearty man

■with thews and sinews'like an ox, and asks for bread— says he is looking for work, (the very last thing he wishes |. to find), and you feed and clothe him and he continues his wanderings.—? This is rarely ever charity, and there|* is little probabilities of you entertain­in g an angel unawares by so doing. As a rule the’representative o f heav­enly visions do not go around begging | • for food," and .your conscience need f . not trouble you for fear o f doing them |i wrong.

But few o f us have more to give than we can bestow at home, and to those who are-'known to and hav - claims upon us. Giving to loafing tramps is robbing those who have a claim upon your bounty. “ The poor we have always with us,” and we need not go beyond our circle o f acquain­tances to find fitting places for relief. W e all feel that it Ib hard to turn away the halt, and the lame, and the blind, without giving a trifle; cannot find it in our hearts to do so. But at the same time Our better judgment tells us we are doing wrong; that fit ting homes are provided for them; that the misfortune which appeals to our sympathy is often stimulated, or used as a cloak for others; and that it is bidding for and encouraping wan­dering pauperism to the injury o f the genuine and. th'e suffering in cur vicinity.

Except we have an overplus of wealth we should endeavor to use a judicious discrimination in our answer to appeals for charity. The heart can yet feel and the hand be an open one. We need not lack opportunity. There is scarcely a day when We are not called upon to give, and it is proper for us to do so; should cultivate a catholic charity, and not be niggard when pain and hunger can be relieved. But there should be carefulness and wisdom in the giving. Profuse scat- teringing of money or food is not charity, according to the correct meaning of-the term. Vice and. sloth are loudest in their appeals; the worthy poor are humble and bashful in the asking; we should know what we are doing; be assured that our bounty will not be wasted before opening purse and house:

Charity is a good thing; is the “ greatest o f all,” consequently should not be abused, as is too often the case. Give— it is your duty; give—blessings will follow; give— the poverty stricken o f earth has a just claim upon you, but let not your heart blind your judgment, and always remember that those at home have the first and great­est claim upon you.

The Educated Young Laay.What better is she for (education if

she persists in silliness and loudness and obtrusive manners? Her re ­searches among the treasures o f sci­ence are o f no value, i f they cannot furnish her with subjects for conversa­tion more mighty than the gossip of the society,, the scandal o f the day, and the probable intention of young men who never had any intention in their lives, and are not capable of one until their brains acquire more solid­ity. Her artistic accomplishments are absolutely worthless unless they teach her how to ■ beautify and adorn her home; how to distinguish the false from the true; how to be in her own person an embodiment of that grace and purity and chaste beauty which the world worships in the marble and canvas o f the old masters; unless they teach her a radical abhorrence o f all ; the hideous distortions o f fashion; of : outward show, with inward untidiness; ; o f tawdry ornaments, obtrusive finery, nnd unclean, trailing tatters. O f whac avail is it -if she knows every law o f ■ her own body, and can trace for you with scientific accuracy, the working o f every organ and the linked steps of each wonderful process o f life, i f she lives in daily violation o f them all, ■ laying a murderous hand upon respi­ration and circulation, lunching at midnight upon fruit, cake, and pick­les, and dreaming unutterable things in a room with all the windows her­metically sealed?

“ Land Poor."i There are-many farmers who, from a too ambitious desire’ to be. consider- ied large land owners, have involved themselveB into a lasting struggle to ishake off the fetters they willingly submited- to in their hasty desire to increase their possessions. This class of farmers (in many instances) have ?more land than they can or will work well or to advantage, and yet they seek to extend their boundaries at the expense of- moftgaging their farms sand paying large’ interest, as well as ;a bonus'-for the accommo’dation. Far­mers, beware o f these Shylooks, who increase amir wealth at • -the expense ■of your- toil, for they will, like some dootors, nurse a case unto -death. In too many Instances the records bear .evidence of the sad results of too hasty proceedings in this matter.— JSx

Women use saleratus only in sour matures, hence “ Saleratus” Smith ashes a vary appropriate candidate or governor in the greenback party. —Howard Record.

The greenbackers or “ irredeema­bles” want- the bonded debt o f the government paid in greenbacks and the payment off interest stopped. They don’t believe in interests—unless it is coming to ? themselves t on .real estate mortgages.1 Why shouldn’ t the debtor 'class dm authorized to re­tire all mortgages or interest-bearing paper, and issue in exchange their non-interest-bearing notes? I f this is honest-and. legitimate financiering, the government shouldn’ t enjoy a monopoly. We are opposed to all monopolies.—A nn Arbor Argus*

Should the bill recently passed by the Senate pass the House and receive the' signature- o f ’ .the President, the results of the currency legislation of the present Congress will have been to make greenbacks . receivable at par in gold for the four per cent bonds at once; to make them receivable for duties, but at their market value, it is understood, after the 1st o f October; to- make' the silver dollar payable for all purposes at par in gold ; to forbid any further contraction of the legal tenders, and to authorize the issue.of silver certificates. The action of the; Silver conference soon to be held in Paris will have a certain effect upon our o.wn silver legislation, but; the fact seems to bo pretty well established that our people do not care as much for the celebrated dollar of their fath­ers as the silver men in Congress pre­tended. Mr. Sherman has now coin ed over $6,000,000, and has been able to get rid o f only about $1,000,- 000. Under the' laws be can resume in silver on, the, 1st of next January, but it is not thought probable that there will bo much demand for silver dollars in exchange for legal tender notes. A t present the dollars he. pays out for bullion return to the Treasury almost at once in payment o f dudes.

Smith, the greenback candidate for jrovernor o f this State, is an exten­sive saleratus manufacturer o f Grand Etapids, hence is called “ Saleratus Smith,”

Joseph L . Smith, the greenback §candidate for Governor o f Maine, is

Greenback nominee for Governor of this nick o f woods, is not only a bond-

older but a stockholder in a national ank: Men and brethren, have we een thus grossly deceived ? We call

About the greatest excitement that has been created in Washington by any one thing was caused by the intro­duction, in the House last Friday, by Representative Burchard of 111., of a resolution as follows:

.Resolved, That the two Houses of the Forty-fourth Congress having counted the votes cast for President and Yice President of the United States, and having declared Ruther­ford B. Hayes and William A . Wheel­er duly elected President *and Yice President, there is no power in any subsequent Congress to reverse that declaration; nor can any such power be exercised by the courts of the Uni­ted States, or any other tribunal that Congress can create under the Con­stitution.

The affair was Buch a surprise to the, Democratic part of the House that many o f them; did not know what to do. They did not like to vote for it

.after having taken so great an inter­est in the Potter committee works, noT did they dare to do otherwise. After considerable squirming the res­olution passed by a vote of 215 to 21. This puts a damper on, tbe farce that had been going on under the auspices of Sam. J. Tilden.

Our Gold in Mass.The entire amount o f gold in cne

world, at present is estimated at near­ly seven billions ($7,000,000,000) of value in United States coinage., A billion is such a large number .that the average mind scarcely takes it in. A thousand million is more readily comprehended; consequently 'seven thousand millions mean more, verbally and financially, than seven billions. How much solid gold would that make ? Pure gold is more than 19 times as heavy as water, and a cubic foot of water weighs 1,000 ounces avoirdu­pois. A cubic foot of gold would weigh, therefore, over 19,000 ounces avoirdupois, and each such ounce of fine gold is worth, as we reckon, rather more than $1S ; so that a cu­bic foot of. the precious metal would have a value o f about $883,338. A cubic yard of gold, being 27 times as much, would be worth over $9,000,- 000, and 700 cubic yards would con­tain considerably more than the whole sum o f gold on the globe. A ll ot i t might he contained in a block some 17 feet high, 28 feet wide, and 56 feet long. This is “ pretty considera­ble,” as the.-rustics say ; but if it were all in the Treasury at Washington, most o f the Nationals Would not think it half enough for tbe resump­tion of specie payment’. .

The Albany Journal gives the Michigan Republican, platform this hearty indorsement: “ The platform o f the Michigan Republicans is crisp, judicious, and emphatic. It embraces lothing but what all; Republicans

| heartily accept, and omits little that -ought to be said. I t is a creed for, agreement, and not for discord.”

There was an extensive communis­tic outbreak in Quebec on Wednesday o f last week, when stores were broken open and their contents distributed imong the mob. The riot was sup­pressed only by calling out the militia md arresting the ring leaders, who rcre a lot o f French roughs who went

|to the city with'no other purpose than to create a disturbance among; the la-

iborers o f the city. This is but a yarning o f what may at any moment )e expected in the States, and a thor-

longh preparation for any emergency iwill not be; a waste of time.

IS IT COMMUNISM TBrick Pomeroy’s.Democrat o f June

1st contains the, following bit of ad­vice to the greenbackers:

“ In the organization of Greenback clubs we counsel every able-bodiec member of these organizations to be come'aif proficient, as possible in the manual of arms. In time of peace it iB well to prepare for war. In every Greenback club there should be drill-master— that is, in every club whose members are brave enough to stand at all times,, under all circum stances to defend their rights as citi­zens. * * * * We, the people are in rebellion against the; untaxec nobility o f this country. Wo, the people,; propose to have our rights, peaceably, and by means of the ballot, i f possible— by the bayonet i f we must.”

He also, in. another issue, gives his method by which they are to come in­to power, which, is effectually as fol­lows: The . different clubs through out the country are to vote for Presi­dent. and ' other .officers, and forwarc to him a report of such vote. From these reports he will determine the highest three * named for each office and’ "return them to the clubs to he voted upon again, which vote shal determine the ' officer. 'The persons .thus; elected are to go to Chicago ant start ^ capital of- their own and a' once assume control of the Govern­ment,~b;v force o f arms if resistance he offered: * B y ’ this means the repro bate' expects; to he. placed at the heat o f the - Government.

The State Ticket.The nomination o f Governor Chas.

VL Croswell was not only in accord with political usages in this State, but was warranted by the character of the man and of his administration. He las been so clear and' faithful in bis ligh office, and he is a gentleman of such unquestionable integrity, careful­ness, and conscientious devotion to

uty, that the unanimity with which le was renominated by the largest Republican State Convention ever leld in Michigan, composed of the best citizens o f the party and o f the State, was only a formal recognition of the general popular approval of his services and his merits, foreshadow­ing his certain re-eleotion in Novem­ber.

Governor Croswell was born in Newburg, New York, October 21, 1825. He is, therefore, not yet 53. years o f age, in the prime o f a vigor­ous manhood. B e removed to Michi­gan at the age o f 11 years, in 1837, md settled in Adrian. He received lis education entirely in this State,

and is in all respects a thorough Mich­igan man. He studied law with Judge Oooley, and was admitted to practice.~n 1850, and again in 1853, he was elected Register o f Deeds. Afterward le was City Attorney and Mayor of Adrian. He was State Senator for three terms, beginning in 1862, hold­ing the high positions o f chairman o f the Judiciary Committee and Presi­dent pro tern. He Was President of the Constitutional Convention of 1867.

n 1873 he was Representative in the legislature, and Speaker o f the louse, He was for a long time mem- )er o f the State Commission on pris­ons and asylums. In 1876 he was elected Governor, and his conduct in this office has been marked by strict and conscientious care in discharging bis duties impartially, faithfully and justly. In all respects and in every position, he has proved himself to be a faithful public servant, and a citizen of irreproachable character.

The renomination o f Lieutenant- Governor Alonzo Sessions was a fore­gone conclusion from the start. Mr. Sessions is a strong, popular, and able man, an excellent presiding officer over the Senate and a gentleman of high character. He is a farmer, and emphatically a man o f the people.— He has long been prominent in the politics o f the State, and one o f the pillars o f the Republican party in his county.

The nominee of Secretary [of State, William Jenny, jr., o f Macomb coun­ty, is. a gentleman well known as a gallant soldier during the war, a citi­zen of prominence in his section, and a pronounced and influential Republi­can, o f experience in public affairs. Mr. Jenny was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, January 8, 1S38. He is therefore; now in his fortieth year.— He removed to Mt. Clemens, Michi­gan, in 1843, with his parents, at the age of five years, so that he is in all except; birth, a thorough Michigan man. He graduated at Brown’s Uni­versity in 1859, studied law and was admitted to practice. In 1861, he raised a company for the 9th Michi­gan Infantry; and entered the army, serving clear through the rebellion, and rising by merit, to rank of Major A t tbe close of tbe war, be entered upon tbe practice of law, and took good rank at the bar. H e was three times the Republican nominee for Prosecuting Attorney, arid was elected to the State Senate in 1876, where he served with ability and distinction. Mr. Jenny may now be classed as i farmer, having taken an active inter­est in agriculture, and. having, for the past Several years, mainly devoted himself to the business of conducting his farm.

Gen. B . D. Pritchard, the candi­date for State Treasurer, was bora in Nelson, Portage county,. Ohio, in 1835, but his parents moved to Cuya­hoga county when lie was only one year old. He received an academical training at Asbury Seminary, Cha­grin Falls, and a full collegiate course at Hiram College, o f which Gen. Gar­field was then president. He came to Memphis, St. Clair county, in this State; in 1854, and taught school there one year. In 1859 he entered the law office of Williams & Moyers, o f Allegan, and finished his law course at the University in 1860. He was admitted to the bar in 1861, and at once entered into partnership with Mr. Williams, with whom he kept nominal partnership for eight years, although he was much of that time in the army. He enlisted as a private in the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, but was commissioned as Captain before leaving the State. He was in com­mand of a company until tho battle o Ghickamauga, where he was wounded On his return from a thirty days’ fur­lough, he was commissioned Lieuten­ant Colonel. While holding this rank and in command o f the regiment, he performed his most conspicuous ser­vice to the country, by the capture o f the petticoated ex-President o f the ex-Confederacy on the 10th of May 1865. For this service he was brev­eted Brigadier - General. ‘Since his return to Michigan he has served two terms as Land Commissioner, from 1867. to 1871, and has been promi­nent in the local politics of Allegan county. He has good business quali fications and will make an excellent officer. • .

The candidate for Auditor General. W . Irving Latimer, :is a native of Duchess county, New York, and is 43 years old. When quite a young man he engaged in mercantile business in hia native county. In 1859 he re­moved to what was then a compara­tively new section of Michigan, Ne waygo. Here for seven' years, anc from 1866 to the present time, he has been successfully engaged in mercan­tile and lumbering business. He has taken an important "part", in local af­fairs, and has been' township treas urer, city treasure^ mayor ’ of. Big, Rapids and a member o f the County Republican Committee arid’ o f the State Central Committee. He'is pop nlar in that section, from which the Republican ticket draws its majorities.

James M: Neasmith is a ’good. rep resentative of the .capable "-and, sue cessful farmers who have done so much to give character to .the? State Michigan. He is English by, Jjrirth,; having been born in the City o f Manchester in 1823* His first- -home' in the United States was. iri Batayia; Genoese*, county; New: rYorkl" 'L j

1853 he settled in Schoolcraft, Mich., where he now resides. He has been supervisor o f his township an (l treas- urer o f the county, and has held other "ocal positions of trust.; In the State* Senate, to which he was • elected in 1870, and again in 1872, he took r,ank‘ among the clearest-headed and moat judicious legislators. Both as respects integrity and ability, he is an unex­ceptionable candidate for the commia- sionerahip of the Land Office. •

Otto Kirchner, who is renominated or Attorney-General, is a native of

Frankfort-on-the-Oder, Prussia, and is 32 years old. He emigrated to the United States in 1854, and came to Michigan in 1868. In 1865 he was clerk of the judiciary committee of the House, and in 1866 was admitted to the bar. He has been a member o f the Republican city and county oom- mitteesj and has been an active and effective speaker for the Republican party in three or four campaigns. As Attorney-General for the past two year8, he has been watchful of tbe in­terest of the State, and has prepared his cases*well, and has made in every way an excellent record. During his incumbency, the work of the office has been economically done, the expenses for extra counsel having been less than under any other Attorney-General.

The candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, Horace S. Tar- >ell, is a native of Yermont, a gradu­ate o'f Wesleyan University at Middle- town, Conn., and has been a resident of Michigan since 1866.’ He has been principal of the Houghton, Bishop, Duffield and Washington schools of Detroit and of the public schools of East Saginaw. He was eminently successful in the practical work of teaching, and has done two years of commendable work in the position to which he is now renominated.

George F. Edwards, who is nomi­nated for member of the State Board o f Education, iB a native o f Ypsilanti, and at present a resident o f Niles. He has received a thorough education, and while engaged in the practice of his profession, the law,, has taken a decided interest in the public schools, H e was elected to the Legislature in 1876, and proved a useful member.

The delegates to the convention have fulfilled! well the promise to nom­inate a strong and unexceptional tick­et. There are no weak candidates; none whom the Republican voters of the State cannot heartily support; none whom they cannot commend to all who desire a judicious, economical and honest administration o f State affairs. — Detroit Dost Tribune.

A Detroit‘fthylock.”WHAT HE SAID ON JUNE 5 AT GRAND

RAPIDS.In the proceedings o f the National

Greenback Convention at Grand Rap­ids, on June 5, as reported by the Grand Rapids “ National Enquirer,” appeared this passage:

“ Hon. Moses W . Field called the convention to order and addressed the convention substantially as follows

* * * “ ‘The work -is goingright along until the men who do all the work can earn a respectable living as the rewards of their toil. Our party is organized especially to stim­ulate labor. By looking around us we see tbe annual increase of the Wealth of the country over {he cost of production to be only two and one- half per cent. There is a limited class, however, which claimed the privilege o f so manipulating legislation as to command more than ten per cent, on money. We have made up our minds to snake the rate o f interest ho higher than labor can earn by hard toil. [Applause.] We have made up our minds that a moneyed oli­garchy shall not rule this country [Applause.]” ’WHAT HE DID ON MAY 22 IN WAYNE

This indenture, made the 21st day o f May, in the year of our Lord one thou.- sand eight hundred and seventy-eight, be­tween Frederick H . Holmes and Leah B . Holmes, his wife, o f Detroit, "Wayne county, Michigan, of the first part, and Moses W . Field, o f Detroit, Michigan, of the second part: .

"Witnesseth, That the said parties of the first part, for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred ($100) dollars, to them in hand paid by the ' said party of the second- part, the rec.eipt whereof is hereby confessed and acKnowledged, have granted, bargained, sold, -arid by these presents do grant, bargain. and- sell, unto the said party of the second part, and to his heirs and assigns, forever, lot number­ed forty-nine (49), of that part o f private claim'six hundred and seventy-eight, ly? ing between Jefferson avenue extended and the Mack road, so-called, in Ham- tr&mck, W ayne county, • Michigan, as subdivided by the said Moses _ W .

This; mortgage is given to secure a part of the purchase money for said, premises.-

To have and to hold the said premises unto the said'party o f the second part, arid to his heirs and assigns, forever; provided always, and these presents are upon this express condition, that if the said parties o f the first part pay to the said party "of the second part, the sum of one hundred ($100) dollars, according to. ■ one .promis­sory note for one hundred dollars-and in­terest at the rate of TEN PE R -CENT, per annum, payable half yearly and bear­ing even date herewith, executed b y the said Frederick H .

' i t ; r : J . \

There are two or three points in this mortgage which will at once strike the attention of every person familiar with the forms o f mortgages, but which may escape the average reader, unless his attention is special­ly called to them.

In the first place the mortgage bears TEN PER CENT. IN TE R ­EST, payable semi-annually. For the past year or two parties having monev to loan have been glad to get seven per cent, interest, payable an­nually, on first-class security ; this iu- the case of large sums. There is any amount of money now offered, and it even goes begging for takers, at eight per sent, interest; payable annually. There have been loans as low as six per cent., but these were exceptional cases, where the amo.unt was large, and the security particularly good. The bulk of the. loanB made in this city during the past year have been at seven and eight per cent. He has been a very lucky lender o f money who could get ten per. cent, interest for it.

In the second place no grace is given m this instrument on the pay­ment of principal or interest. It Is customary in mortgages to specify that in case there is default iu the payment for 30 or 60 days then there may be foreclosure. But in this case, if the mortgagor should fail to pay the half-yearly interest on the day on which it falls due, the mortgagee may take possession of tbe premises and sell the Bame for the full amount of the mortgage, costs and charges. This is what may be called a brass- bound, double-riveted mortgage; inas much as it puts tbe money-borrower completely in the power of the money­lender.

In the third place it will be noticed that an attorney fee of $100 is pro vided. The whole face of the mort­gage is $100,- so that, by foreclosure, it would be doubled instanter. It is usual in mortgages to make the at­torney fee somewhat proportionate to the amount o f mortgage. In mort­gages ranging from $500 to $2,000 the customary attorney fee is $25 to $50, I f the mortgage were $3,000 to $5,000 the attorney fee would probably be fixed at $100, and so on as the amount increases.

In" the fourth place it is specifiei, that this mortgage is given to secure a part of the purchase price'of the premises which it covers. A ten per cent, mortgage on a purchase is in­deed a rarity. In the most prosper-

. ous times, when money commandcc. high rates of interest, the man who sold real estate never thought o f charging bis customers more than seven per cent, interest on an unpaid balance.- A s custom makes law, this might, almost be said to have been the law in lively times. But in these de­pressed times, when real estate is slow of sale and money commands only seven or eight per cent, at most, tbe man who can sell a lo t and get a ten per cent, mortgage for a part of the purchase price will be likely to be ’ looked up to with -admiration and' envy by real estate speculators of the class designated sharp."WHAT HE HAS DONE ' WITHIN' THREE

YEARS -IN WAYNE COUNTY. :•The records of the Register of

Deeds’ office show that Mr. Field is the;holder o f no.inconsiderable num­ber of mortgages. Since the. 1st of July, 1875, he has put ten o f these instruments on record, amounting, in the aggregate, to upwards’of $35,000, the interest ranging from seven to ten percent., none of them,-we may re­mark, 24 per cent. I f any one cares- to overhaul these 'mortgages and ob-'. serve th'e stringency’o f their provi­sions, he w ill find them all in the officn of the Register of Deeds.— Past § Tribune.

THE PLATFORM.The following is the platform of

the'Republicans of this State, which Was unanimously adopted at the State Convention-on the '13th inst.

The Republicans of Michigan, after twenty years of unbroken control of the State government in all its de­partments, invite* the most rigid scru­tiny into the manner in which their great responsibilities have been dis­charged, and they point with satisfac­tion and pride to that faithful regard which has been evinced by the State administration for the happiness, and security of our citizens; the prosper­ity of the commonwealth, and the maintenance o f public faith.

Resolved, That while we entertain an undoubted faith,.in the honest judgment, of mankind; the past record of the Republican party will furnisH, noth in patriotism, and: achievements, some of the most illustrious pages in our national history, we„pledge to the :’uture an unfaltering fidelity to the just and humane principles which in timeB of great public extremity in­spired and created it. We recognize among the sacred obligations of a government founded on these prin­ciples the duty of securing to all its citizens a free and untrammeled exer­cise of the right of, suffrage 'and of protecting every man and..'woman from whom it claims allegiance in: the. peaceable pursuit of an honest life by every legitimate means within its reach.

Resolved, That we congratulate our fellow citizens on 'the unmistakable evidence apparentvin so many direc­tions that the . business interests of the country are recovering from the

g depression brought on by over­trading and excessive speculation, and On the certainty that this recov­ery is to be made enduring by the resumption of specie payment, now happily within the immediate reach, and certain to be accomplished with­out shock either .to industry or com­merce; ■that in ' financial as in other matters, “ the world, is governed too much,” and the pressing need of the time is stability upon which to build confidence, allowing the natural laws of trade to assume their healthful op­eration. In common with the best intelligence of all parties, we rejoice in the early adjournment of Congress, and the respite it will afford from the reckless and mischievous schemes of ignorant legislators, made; formidable by the despotisms of caucus. We denounce repudiation in' every ■ dis­guise. We regard "the plighted faithof a community binding upon all ita members, and failure1 to fulfill a public obligation as a Btain upon both public and private honor. We insist that the debts o f the nation shall be paid with the same fairness and integrity With which an honest man seeks to pay his individual debts. We assert that ho prosperity can bo real or: dur­able that is founded on -a fictitious standard; that-the status of paper currency, whether issued by the gov­ernment or bankB, is derived from its “ promise to pay;” and the credit that promise is worth; that the full benefit of such a currency cannot be realiz­ed unless it is convertible on demand into gold and silver; that the circula­tion of paper and coin interchangea­ble at par and at the will of the hold­er has been proved by experience to be the best known to commerce. That this country is too . great to submit to. a subordinate place among the commer­cial nations, and its people too honest to be content with unredeemed and irredeemable promises; and in the name o f all the producing classes, and every honest workingman, we de­mand a currency that is hot only worth its face value all over the Union, but will demand respect, recognition, and its frill value in every market in the world.

Resolved, That we view with appre­hension the spread o f opinions and -the growth' of sentiments as embodied' and proclaimed in platforms, resolu­tions, publications,, and speeches of the so-called National Greenback

T he voters of the St. Joseph school district, as mentioned in the .Era last week, did not wait to hear Prof. Bay's proposition read, not because o f any adverse feeling on their part, but because Prof. Ray had previously withdrawn the proposition.

Some fear that tho factory will he rebuilt at St. Joseph, as the citi­zens of that place are wide-awake on such matters.— St. Joseph Kerald- Traveler.

I n 1S74 Levi Sparks, the Green­back candidate for Auditor General, was in; the State Senate from this oounty. The question of the advisa- " !ity of an appropriation of §4,000 for tho, expenses of a commissioner of German immigration was being dis­cussed when Levi made one o f his speeches, saying that instead of spend­ing any money to get any more of the “ beer-guzzling, saur-krout eating, dirty Dutch” into the State, they had better try to teach those who were al­ready here.” Such expressions, of course, gave great pleasure to the Ger­man voters of the State. Mr. Sparks did not get a renomination, hence his antipathy to the Republican party.

A special to the Inter-Ocean o f Monday, says: “ Saturday afternoon, while Thomas Martindale and some others* were digging sand from a bank on the roadside, half a mile east from Benton Harbor, and when about three feet down, they came upon the skele­ton o f a man 5 feet 6 inches high. The skull appeared to have been crushed with a club or some instrument. The man seemed to have been murdered, as the body was thrown in face down­ward, and in a hole three feet long. The bones appeared to have lain there about five years.

The Common Council, at their last meeting, very liberally offered to pay each of the papers in this place 50 cents per meeting, for publishing tho proceedings o f that worthy body. Up to this time the R ecord had re­ceived §1.00 per meeting: In the issue of June 6th the proceedings contained four and one-half thousand emB, which at the price paid for com­position on the Inter-Ocean would cost §2.20 alone, and at the rate allow­ed in the State for legal advertising, would cost §6.80. We shall accept the liberal offer o f 50 cents for §6.80 worth of work, not because we expect to get rich by it, but that our readers may know what is being done in mat­ters pertaining to the business of tho village.

W. K. Sawyer vs. Throe Oaks Inde­pendent.

June 17, 1878.E ditor R ecord :—In the last issue

of the Michigan Independent, dated June 13, 1878, appeared the following article, J. R. Hill being the publish­er of said Independent :

“ I f our readers should fail. to. re­ceive their paper in due time hereaf­ter, they will please bear with us until .*-uch time as wo can lay the matter before the Department at Washington. As i f such should hap­pen, it will ho because we have a post­master hero who does not believe that a man who does not vote for Wm. Iv. Sawyer has any rights that postmas-

, ters should respect, and who, some time since, threatened that he would use every means in his power to injure the paper. We do not believe the Administration* will uphold him in it, and promise our readers that should ho, as he none some months ago, hold tho mail over so that the Independ­ent will not reach its readers until all other papei’s in the county have been sent to their subscribers, that it will not be o f long duration.”

In reply to the above I wish to state, briefly, that shortly after said J R. Hill came here he asked me to try and get permission to put his paper mail for this county on the No. 4 train west, which train stopped at this place at 4 P. m. I wrote to the Department and the request wds granted. I then carried his paper, for several weeks, from the post-office to said train, simply as an accommo­dation, (as it is "not my duty to carry ihemail) and the mail messengers stated they would not carry it without extra pay, as they are only required to carry the mails to the regular mail trains, which trains does not stop at this station— the mail being taken from a catcher. He again asked permission to put his papers on the Kalamazoo train west, instead of the 4 p. m . train, a3 he said the papers would be taken up the Lake Shore R . R . earli­er in . the week. It was granted. Then I suggested that he act as mail- messenger— simply to carry his own papers. He appeared to be satisfied, and I sent in his oath as mail-messen­ger. I allowed him t’o carry his county papers from his office to the depot direct, for his own convenience. And after accommodating him thus, ho took occasion at times to misrep­resent me through his paper until, finally, ono day last week, I said to him that I had accommodated him since he came here, and that he had misrepresented me in his paper, and hereafter he must deposit all his papers in the post-office before send­ing them on trains, in accordance to the regulations. He asked me if the papers could be put on the Kalamazoo train. I said yes, i f the mail-messen­ger would carry them. He has made that arrangement. He has never made complaint to me at any time in regard to withholding the mail. He has taken a very ungentlemanly course in the matter, to say the least.

In conclusion, I wish to atate.to.the patrons of Baid Independent, and all others interested, that I deny ever having made the statement as charged, that I would -use every means in pay power to injure his paper; and fur­ther deny, as charged, ever haying held tho mail over so that the Inde­pendent would not reach its readers until all other papers in the county had been sent to their subscribers; and I now demand that the said J.

E. N. Shedd just returned from Kansas. Ho' reports crops in South­east Kansas, south of Ft. Scott, bad­ly damaged with- rain; the same:in Illinois. But further north in Kan­sas, in the eastern and central part, of the State, the crops are looking splendid. - Mr. Jeremiah Totter, a brother to Mrs. E. N.

Twenty-six of the Good Templars of this place visited the Union Pier Lodge, last Saturday evening. Had a pleasant trip, and were cordially welcomed. Two new members were added to the Lodge . that evening. The Three Oaks Lodge were urgent­ly requested to come again. They have one of the finest lodge rooms in Berrien county, and one of the most earnest working lodges,’ They deserve success, and after what has been done there bythem in the temperence work, every citizen of Union should give them their hearty support. Success to them. May they never fail in ad­vocating the principles of Faith, Hope and Charity. '

Mr. Larzelier, who has been agent at thig place for seven years and Bix months to-day, left us, on Friday last, to take up his residence at Augusta,

■Michigan, there to act as railroad ‘ and-express agent. Mr. L. and fam­ily have our heBt wishes.

Mr. O. O. Bostwick, our telegraph operator, leaves for Parma, Mich., on Friday next.- He will act as opera­tor and sell tickets. Success to him and his lady;

Mr. Baum, our railroad agent who takes Mr. Larz flier’ s place, comes well recommended. . A t the State Line, where he has held forth, they slaughter about 150 beef cattle every Sunday, and load them on ears the same day.

A. F. Martin has returned from his trip north, with that genial smile of lis . He is always happy and he tnows it. He commenced at once to scrub out, dust off, smooth up, and put up more new signs. He states that he weighs twelve pounds more than he did when he left, about one month ago.

M. McWethoy, another tree man, also has returned. I found four of the tree men together, A . F. Martin, John Martin, M. McIVethey and L. Jeffries, and if the other three had ieen there, there would have been joy,

joy, everywhere. The other three are Dwight Warren, II. J. Hudson, Wm. A. Palmer. They can sell more fruit trees in one season, than any other seven men can float trees down the Mississippi river in the same time, that is to let them tell it.

Talk is cheap but all that prevented N. Strehle from receiving first prize, at Lansing, as the best cornet player in Michigan, was Bimply because he was not there and did not play.

Our band furnishes us with good music, which has -a good effect. How much better from what it was six years ago, when their playing soured all the milk in the vicinity.

Our marshal is doing a good job on. the roads. By the way, the cala­boose and the city pound are not oc­cupied much of late.

The railroad divides our town. The men, on the north side have the largest feet, and are the best looking. Those on the south side are the laziest, and therefore the most successful in busi­ness. Do you understand the moral ?

The Laboratory of the System.The stomach is the laboratory of. th’e

system, in which certain mysterious pro­cesses are constantly going on. These re­sult in the production of that wonderful vigifying agent the blood, whichin a state of health rushes laden with the elements of vitality to the remote parts of the system. But when the stomach is semi- paralyized by" dyspepsia, blood manufac­ture is carried on imperfectly, the circula­tion grows thin and sluggish, and ths system suffers in consequence. Moreover, indigestion reacts upon, the liver and bowels, rendering the . first sluggish and the latter constipated. The brain also suffers by sympathy, and; sick headaches, sleeplessness and nervous symptoms are engendered. • Hostetter’s. Stomach Bitters reforms this state of things, gives perman­ent tone and regularity to the .stomach, and its associate organs, .the bowels and liver, and ensures complete nourishment and increased, vigor of the system, It is the most popular as well as the ‘most effi­cient-anti-dyspeptic and tonic in America.

Market Gardening About Paris.There are over 6,000 men, "women

and children engaged in growing early asparagus, lettuce, carrots and the like in and around Paris. The rent of the land: varies from §180 to §240 per acre, according to situation 'and irrigation plant; These market gar-> gens are of comparatively small dimen­sions, and; vary from 11 t'o 21 acres1 in extent. Taking the smaller size, the plant necessary to carry on busi­ness costa nearly §2,500, including large and small bell glass, straw mats,, glazed lights, frames, tools, baskets, horse, cart and other necessary mate­rials. The regular working men, it is said, earn an average pay of about forty cents a day, with board and lodging, all; the year round. Extra men receive about seven cents per hour, women five cents. Most of the men come from other sections, not so much for the sake of the ‘ wages, which are low for Prance, but in order to learn a business which they can turn to profitable account when they return to their homes after two or threp years’ service.— Western, Farm Jour­nal.

Don’t let old bones: He. around, in" the barnyard and fence; corners. They should, be preserved, as they contain phosphoric acid, one o f the most val­uable ingredients in manure.

I sought for a quick remedy, and seeing the Shoshoneea Remedy* so highly-recommended, I procured, and am hap­py to say that; by the time it was taken, I was entirely well and remained so, although I was; much* exposed through the winter in traveling.

Rev. E. B. Strattox, Demoreatville, writes: T have found your remedies; particularly Bene­ficial for Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia and Bron­chial Affections, and would advise* all Bimil arly* affected to give them a trial.

Mrs. A .D .Pierce,. Moberlv, N. Y., says: It affords me much pleasure to express my heart­felt gratitude by the benefit I have received from using the Great Shoshonces Remedy. I was sorely afflicted. withDispepsia and Diseaso of the Lungs. After having.used six bottles I have Become hearty and well. I never knew a medicine which had such* wonderful effacts. I cannot' speak too highly o f its merits.

The Future of the United "States.It is not generally known, even in

cultivated circles, that the amount of arable soil in America is greater than in Europe, Asia and Africa put to-.

ther, and can therefore sustain more lives. This is no harsh conclu­sion. I speak from a scientific basis; and I Will show you what that basis is : Our continent is narrow,, and therefore the winds from- the ocean water it well. The mountain chains on the east side of the American con­tinent are low; on the east side of the old world, are high. From this it results, that the trade winds, laden with the wetness o f the sea, are at­tracted to our land. The breadth of the old world and its high eastern ranges causes the rainless interiors of Asia and Africa. Again America is the land of fertile plains; the old world of scorched plains. Our plains mn north and south, and so attract and receive the rains. America is high under the equator, the old world is wide; hence, with us a small sur­face is exposed to the scorching sun. The result is that* the: productive soil in the old world is: 10,000,000 square miles, and in the new, 11,000,000. Thus bursts upon us all in the light of ecientific truth, the fact that America can sustain a greater population than the old world; and if she can, it is unquestionable that some day she will.

The Origon of Foolscap.Everybody knows what foolscap is.

It is writing paper of the dimension of 16 by 13 inches. But it is doubtful if 10 in 100 o f those who use it can tell why it is bo called. Oliver Crom­well vanquished Charles I. and was declared Protector of England, a ruler something like the President of the United States. He caused the pic­ture o f the Cap of Liberty to he stamp­ed on the paper used by the govern­ment. After his death Charles II, son of Charles I., was restored to the throne In consequence o f Cromwell’s son being unfit to govern the country. One day he sent for paper to write on, and some o f this government paper was brought to him. Looking at the stamp of the cap on it, he inquired the meaning o f it, and when, told, said in a contemptuous tone, “ Take it away; I ’ll have nothing to do with a fool’s cap.” Hence paper of the size above mentioned was called foolscap.

1 Valuable Picture Afloat,Somebody is endeavoring to recover

an art treasure in this city. An ad­vertisement in one of the morning papers announces that “ if the present owner of Gainsborough’s celebrated picture. ‘ The Duobes of Devonshire,’ which was taken from Old Bond street in 1876, will address, etc., negotiations for its restoration can be resumed.” This portrait was sold two years ago in London and brought a fancy price — §53,025. While, it was on exhibi­tion in Mr. Agnew’s gallery it was cut from the frame and stoUn. A reward of §5,000 was immediately offered for the arrest of the thief, but the portrait was not recovered. This curious advertisement indicates that it has been traced to the United States, and that negotiations for its restoration, on broken off are to he renewed. It was in this city that “ Murallo’s “ St. Anthony o f Padua” was recovered in 1875. The figure o f the saint had been cut out and stolen from the cathedral of Seville in tho previous year, but was iden­tified by Mr. Schaus, when -it was brought under his eyes, and sent back to Spain.— Tf. Y . Tribune.

Jefferson Davis ’ Family.— Mrs. Jefferson Davis is described as being at present a very stout, very 'intelli­gent, and very amiable looking wo­man.

Buffalo Hunting as a Business.A Texas newspaper says: “ Griffin

is the rendezvous of the Texas buffalo hunters. Men who make it a busi­ness do not pursue the animals as do the sportsmen. They use the needle- gun with telescopic sights, and the firing is done by one or two men only, who usually kill a drove of forty or fif­ty on one or two acres o f ground. As soon as one is killed the whole drove, smelling the blood, "collect around the body, snuffling and pawing: The hun­ter continues to shoot them until the last one bites the dust. So long as the men remain concealed, and the buffaloes do not get their scent, the game is not frightened."*—F x . ■

Ho to do i t .— A subscriber o f a Hamilton paper wants to know what will stop hens from pulling Out their feathers. There are two effectual pre- ventatives o f this disgroeful habit of the hens. The most thorough is to pull all the feathers out yourself. The hen don’t look as well after this, hut she cannot pull out any more feathers. Another remedy consists in pushing her feathers through and bending them into a hook on the other side. This is a clincher.— Syracuse Times.
