THE VISIT.weelest woman ever I'ale

Pervt rse denied a household mate."WHITTIER.

'Tis twilight of the day,And twilight oi the year :The leaves are turning si.'ai-,The green is growing gray.

It is a little room,.So neatly dressed and still;Which fostered ro«^ ii!lWith subtlest of perfume.

A'zcphjT lurking by,Betrays the curtained bed—T)id ever mortal headOn either pillow lie?

That pantomimic fire—How clear its cozy glow:It gestures ever so,Behind the woven wire.

But hush ! The Lady comes,As softly as the hours :'Tis sweeter than her flowers—The melody she hums.

She deftly locks the blind,And draws the night-shade low ;AVliile with her gown of snow .The kiften toys behind.

Her hands are faultless fair,Her movements all of grace ;And hers a queenly airFor such a lovely place.

She sits, and bows her head—What do the shadows say ?—Her volume of the dayLies opon and unread.

The beauty of her face,Where lives a dreamy light,No suffering shall blight,Nor wearing years erase.

She sighs—now lifts aboveThe worship of a tear ;And angels waiting near,Iiecord a wounded love.—J, V. C, in Scribncr's for September.

WITH WHAT MEASURE YE METE.

BY KATE PUTNAM OROOOD.

Lo! where she lies, unwept, unknow'n :In all the curious crowd, alone;And so the old, old story ends,And nothing now can make amends.

And you, whose every step has beenBy lov-'s observance sheltered in ;Who never knew the sting of need,Nor guessed how trampled hearts can bleed ;

You cast your stone, in righteous scorn,At that poor, dying wretch forlorn,Whose life, perchance, was one long pang,'Twixt shame and misery's double fang.

Sfcw, if you will, go hasten hence,Lest sin should sully innocence,Though spotless hands as yours ere nowHave wiped the dying outcast's brow.

But, nappy woman, honored wife,Before you judge the erring life,Bethink you of the cruel costUf all that wasted life has lost.

Or, if no tender touch can stirYour shallow soul to pity her,Think ot a day of doom to come,And ah I for very dread be dumb !

LINXABAR CITY.

From Scribuer's Monthly.You stand in the road looking up and

west. Before you stretches the gorge be-tween the stark mountains that towor in-lospitably on either hand, above the twoines of buildings that have to burrownto the crowding feet of the oppositeleights to make room for the road be-tween them. At the upper end a sharpnountain face wedges down and splitshe gorge into two, and on a shelf of this'ace are perched the school and the new-y-built church. This is Cinnabar Ciiy.

lithind you the road winds out ofright down toward the lonely foot-hills,and already you can hear the echoingrumble of tbe coach from below, and willjresently catch the rattle of wheel andingle of harness. On the box of that:oach sits a tall, travel-worn, not haud-ome passenger, whom the driver has car-

ried before and to whom he shows re-pect. The driver is telling him abouthe mines and the growth of tbe city inhe mouths he has been away, in whichJiimabar has doubled itself once orwice.Before the coach stops at the " Quick-

ilver hotel," I must tell you the historyof the roan on the box-seat. His name is

arrett Colyer. He was born in an east-ern country town, studied law there andwent away to the city to seek his fortune,went back at an hour's notice to defenda scape-grace whose friends had no moneyo pay the counsel, got bim off by thekin of his teeth and out of reach of othervariant none too soon. The scape-gracewas to reform, having already repented,,nd await his father and sister in the far

west, and provide for them when theycame out to him. They had no moneyo go with ; Colyer spent his last cent on,heir passage and his own. Arriving inCinnabar, whence the scape-grace hadwritten a glowing letter, they found nocape-grace, but another letter, less glow-ng, and explaining the superior induce-

ments of Quartz City, and his intentionof writing to them as soon as he hadhingfl comfortable.Father, daughter, and friend were

breed to go to work for very subsistenceat anything they could find; but theyprospered, and after awhile Colyer set

out farther west in search of the scape-race, and after months in the wild

country returned alone. He formed amrtnership with a young attorneylamed llidley, and becoming engaged ina suit, involving the titlo of the greatersart of the land the town occupied, hewent to Washington and gained hisause. Now he was coming back. 'What had led him this roundabout

;rarnp of years ? He did not love thescape-grace nor admire his ne'er-do-wellFather, who had been dead now for near-ly a year. No, he did not love old manMiddlebrook nor his good-for-nothingson, but he did love their sister anddaughter. All that and more ho haddone for Maggy Middlebrook's sakeBefore he went east ho introduced hispartner to her and asked him to see thatshe came to no harm. Now he is comingback, and as he talks with tiie driver ofof ores and titles and changes, his heartgoea forward with a great yearning tothe ono thing he prays may never change.And, locking out from her eyrie upon thenose of the mountain, alone at her school-room window, and turning wearily fromthe exercise she is correcting, MaggyMiddlebrook sees him getting down attbe hotel, shaking bands right and left,receiving welcome and congratulationall along the street, but pushing on pastall with only a smile and a word, andcoming—coming to her.

Now he came near and turned to crosstoward the foot-path that zigzagged upto her perch through scraggy pines, andhe stopped in the road and looked up andsaw her. He waved his hand and passedout of sight, and when he had mountedthe steep und emerged on the shelf of themountain, she was waiting for him at theschool-house dosr. Ho came close andtook both her hands, and she smiled witha touch of soberness, and said :

" Oh, Garry, I'm very glad you'vecome."

He hold her off, and looked at her, andanswered :

"Are you in trouble, Maggy? Hasanything happened ? Is thero any differ-ence between us?"

But she answered steadily : " No, Ibe-lieve thero's no difference."

" I am glad of that," he said, drawingher closer. "You look tired; you mustfind teaching the little Pikes very weary-ing. But I'm going to be famous now,and you won't have to do it much more."

" You're very good," she said ; " you'vealways been good to me. But, indeed, Ilike teaching here very much, and amonly a little tired. I'll give it up when-ever you say so; but don't be in anyhurry on my account. You'll be herenow, and I shall do very well, I'm sure."

So they talked -together a good while,more gravely than ODD would have ex-pected, and then came down the steeppath and along the only street. He waswatching her and talking to her when,glancing up, his eyes caught his owntame : COLYER & RIDLEY, LAW OFFICE.

" Oh, I almost forgot Kidley," he said." He didn't come to meet me. How ishe ? Have you seen him lately ?"

" Yes," she answered, " I saw him yes-terday. He is not quite well now, I be-lieve. He has been very kind while youwere away."

He left her at her door and went insearch of Kidley, and found him at theoffice.

"Oh, hello, Colyer!" he said, "Gotback P Glad to see you." And he shookhands with great show of heartiness ; butlooked hard, and not so glad as hiswords.

"Why, llidley," said his partner," what's the matter P You don't lookwell."

" No, I'm sick," llidley answered,speaking in a reckless way, new to Col-yer. " This cursed hole don't agree withme, and I've got to get out of it. I wantyou to come in and get things in hand,and square up accounts. I'll see you inthe morning."

He was going our, but Colyer stoppedhim.

"Oh, hold on, Ridley," ho said.What's the matter with you 'i What

the devil is it all about'("" I'm sick, I tell you," Ridley answered

roughly. " I'm going to bed. I don'tknow what it is; may be it's the mercuryin the air. I've got a bad turn, and I'mgoing to bed. Don't come with me ; I'm asugly as Satan, and not fit to be spokento."

Colyer sat alone in the office thinkingtill the day went out. Then he lockedthe door and went along the dark roadbeyond the flaring lights of the town,and turned to the east up the transversegorge. The moon got in between theheights, and lighted up the road and oneof the walls of rock, while the other tow-ered in the shadow. A few houses strag-•led along tho forlorn suburb of thecity," and Colyer stopped before one of

them on the dark side, and while he stooda moment in the moonlit road somebodycame out of the shadow by tho doorway,and approached and spoke his name.

1 Come, Maggy," he said, " I want tospeak to you."

On the lighted side of the gulch, and alittle higher up. a small clump of pinesTew on a shelf of the mountain, not hardo gain, and he led the way thither.

When they stood among the trees hesaid :

' Maggy, you said you.believed Ridleywas not very well. He says he is sick,and I don't think he was glad to haveme back. He is much changed and actsvery strangely. He left me to go to bed,and I saw him on the street just now.Do you know what's the matter withhim r"

He spoke steadily and gravely, and sheturned Dale visibly with the white moon-light oil hep- upturned face. And sheanswered : " Yes, I suppose I do." Hervoice was steady, though very low ; butshe put her arm about the trunk of apine tree, and hugged it ever so tightly;o keep him from seeing that she shookfrom head to foot-

' And how long have you known '(" heasked. -

" Only since yesterday."His eager ear caught the faintest trem-

or in her voice now, and. it shook him likea great wind. He turned his face awayand looked at the moon without sayingor seeing anything for a little while.Then she said :

' You ought not to be so offended withhim. If any one's to blame, it is I, andnot he. I don't know what I was think-ing of not to see it before. He did notKnow about us, and is very much hurt.He is going away directly, and I thinkyou ought to be sorry for him. 1 amvery sorry."

He looked at her without any appar-ent emotion, and only asked :

" What did you say to him ?"She flushed up, and began to answer

quickly, " I told him the truth, do youdoubt r" But when she saw him moreplainly her voice broke up suddenly, andshe sat down where she was, and beganto sob and bemoan heself. And Colyersat down ner, but not touching or speak-ing to her; and his hands finding therocks beneath him strewn with looseshingle, he began idiotically tossinging bits of Btone over the ledge, and re-membered having sat in the gravel soonce when a child, and tossed pebblesinto the water. And when her passion-ate sobbing was somewhat abated, hespoke again quite calmly; it seemed as iftiis heart and nerves were asleep or dead,and he could feel neither pain nor com-passion, and his yoioa sounded strange totiimself:

' Did you tell him the whole truth,Maggy r1'1

And she answered passionately : " Oh,you have no right to ask me that. I donot deserve it. I have done you nowrong. I sent him away as soon as Iknew of it. I was so sorry, and told himso ; but 1 told him 1 could never think ofanybody but you, and I thought he knewall the time. I told him how good youhad always been to me, and how easilyyou were hurt, and he promised to goaway as soon as you came. Don't be un-kind ; it's not like you." And she reach-ed out both hands to him appealingly.

He looked at her, and down at her out-stretched hands, but did not move towardher ; and he asked just as before—

" Is there nothing more r*She drew back her hands, and lifted

her head, speaking rapidly, and unsteadywith passion. " You have no right to askwhat I would not let him ask ; what Iwould not ask myself, nor let myselfthink of. I am true to you, and that isall I can do, and all you have a right toexpect. You are cruel, and if you keepon you will "

She stopped short in her rapid speech,and Colyer spoke slowly :

" I have a right to know the truth. Ido know it. I knew it when I met youto-day." The girl began to rock herself,and to cry again, disconsolately now, andwith fear.

"Oh, I can't help it,"' she sobbed, " Idon't know how it came about. I don'tthink wo were to blame. It's a forsakenplace, and 1 had no friends wEen you hadgone, and you know you introduced usand told me to bo kind to him. And hewas very pleasant, and helped me not tobe lonely ;* and I know J meant no harm,nor thought any could come of it, anymore than you."

" But it is nono the loss true," he con-

tinued slowly. " When you look backover what has passed between us, it seemsa little pitiful, doesn't it t"

They were silent, and seemed to listenfor some intimation of an escape fromtheir dismal quandary. But only thebreeze sang under its breath in the pineboughs of the sea so hopelessly far away,and a stone, looosened from the frowningheights, clattered down the steeps aim-lessly."

Colyer stood up, and looked down onher, lingering. "I'm going away now,"he said. " Good night."

She stood up, and took hold of his arm." No, don't go," she said, and looked

down." Why not'r1" he asked. " Is there any

more ?"" Oh, don't speak like that," she said

with a sudden hoarseness. " You're notgoing to hurt him ? Promise me youwon't hurt him."

" Oh, indeed !" he answered with alaugh. " So you don't want me to hurthim ? Did you ask him not to hurt me 'iMaybe he's on the watch for me nowdown the hollow here. But don't troubleyourself on my account. I'm not muchscared." Then, with a swift change ofmanner, he turned facing her, and tookhold of her arms. " Look here, Maggy,"he said, " he might a great deal betterhave lain in wait for me, and shot me,than have done what he has." Then heturned from her abruptly, and left heraloneamong the whispering pines.

He went straight to Ridley's room,which was also his own, but found no onethere. Then he went out and hunted thestores and hotels, but did not find him.Coming out of one of these places, he wasmet by a man named Bruce, editor of theCinnabar Mercury, and a prominent citi-zen, who fastened on him and told himsomething about a committee of arrange-ments for a proposed reception of thocity's distinguished counsel, and celebra-tion of the happy termination of the law-suit fraught with such important resultsto the mountain metropolis, as he wasconfident Cinnabar was soon to be.

Colyer bade him roughly to let go ofhim, and consigned him to perdition withhis celebrations. Many other hands andvoices greeted him, but he pushed pastwithout heeding, and answered no one aword.

He came out of the " Suburban" hotel,and the town was behind him. He look-ed up to the dark outlines of the heights,and saw above him the tower of the lit-tle church, tipped by the moonlight, anddim, lower down in the shadow, theschool-house, perched, like a bird-houseon the cliff. He climbed the break-neckpath, and came out beside the silentbuilding. Here, on the point of tholedge, where a pine or two made a littloshade in the daytime, he had sat with herthat happy afternoon before he wentaway. It had seemed so hard to go then,and now he looked back to the partingas to a great and unattainable happiness.All the months he was away he had seenher sitting there, with the sunlight slant-ing down from the peaks, and flickeringthrough the pine needles on her face;and he had hungered for the meeting herthere again! He wished he 'had nevercome back, that he had died with thatthought of her in his heart. He laydown on his face on the bare rock whereshe had sat, and did not move for a longwhile. In the saloons and hotels of moretowns than one, the news spread thatColyer of Cinnabar had come back ; andmany a man envied his good luck, orpraised his well-earned success, andprophesied a golden future for him. Andthe rock felt the pressure of his face, andthe wanton wind played with his hair,and the only thing that pitied him wasthe heights that cast their shadows overhim, and hid him from sight.

By and by he got up and went slowlydown the path and through the town.The saloons and hotels were the onlyplaces open now. He went up to Rid-ley's room, and found him there asleep.His disordered head was over the edge ofthe bed, and the bed-clothes half on theflooi. The moon had got round by thistime, and lighted this upper room. AllOolyer's movements were slow and heavylike the motions of an old man. His firstfierce passion had been hatred, blind un-reasoning, overpowering; but even in theunresisted sway of it, his habitual koenperception had seen the futility of it, andwhile he had hunted Ridley eagerly, hehad been glad as a by-stander mightthat lie had not found him. An im-mense pity for himself, a feeling of aston-ishment that such a tremendous hurt waspossible, and that he, of all the thousands,should suffer it, took possession of him,and pushed away petty jealousy almostout of sight. The unendurable pain thatmust yet be endured, the awful sense ofloss, the loss of the worth of everythingin life, and yet the burden of the empty,intolerable life still to be borne! No-where to turn—everything futile—nohelp or understanding. It was so terri-ble, and it might so easily not have been ;yet it was irremediable. He wantednothing but what he had lost, and thatwas gone ; and neither hate nor revenge,nor death could bring it back. That wasthe intolerable part of it—the futility ofeverything. The only possible solacewas the thing lost, and that was—lost!He did not love Ridley, but the sting ofit was that that made no difference, andthat nothing made any difference. Hisoverwhelming was the pity of it, the pityof himself.

He lifted the disordered head, and laidit on the pillow; sat down on the edge ofthe bed, and looked at him with intro-verted eyes and a face full of wrinkles.And Ridley opened his eyes and stared athim.

" What are you at now ?" he asked,roughly. " What do you want'r1"

A sudden flash shot into Colyer's face,and he cursed him and took him by thethroat. "Don't speak to roe like that,"he said ; " I'll kill you if you do. I wantwhat you have stolen from me. Give itback to me, will you ? "

Then his look changed as suddenly tothe old one, and he lay down on his faceboside Ridley,

Ridley sat up and looked down at him,scowling and wondering a little while,then stopped over him softly and pulledon some clothing, watching the motion-less form that lay dark in the shadow.Then he stood over him a minute, turnedaway, and wheeled about two or threetimes, put his head out of the window,and looked up and down the street; fin-ally came back abruptly, and bent downand lilted Colyer bodily and set himdown heavily in a large chair by thewindow. He took two pipes from theshelf and filled aud Iighte4 one, and putinto Colyer's hand ; filled the other andlighted it, and drew a chair and sat rightin front of his partner, so that their kneestouched.

Ridley puffed hard a minute or two,staring squarely into Colyer's face, who,for his part, held hiB pipe between histeeth and let it go out. Ridley leanedforward and looked into the bowl of Col-yer's pipe, and knocked it roughly withhis own.

•' Why don't you smoke r1" he saidharshly, and he tipped the fire into itout of his own, and in so doing put themboth out. Then lie got up and laughed,and went about the room shaken anddoubled, and startling the night with

i deep-toned, tumultuous laughter. And

he stood still and cursed himself and Col-yer for a couple of babies and fools.

" I'm condemned," he continued fierce-ly, " if I know myself or you. Here aretwo great hulking fellows who have facedwild beasts and wild men, who have tas-ted famine aud loneliness, and cold andheat, and conquered them ; who haveshared good and evil fortune, and riskedlife together, and we come and sit downhere as if the whole world were one littleschool-teacher and there was only roomenough for one of us two to walk in, andthe only path for either of us was overthe other. Look here ! it's fate that tiedus up ; let fate settle it."

He took up a backgammon board,threw himself down in bis chair again,and set the board on their knees betweenthem. He took the dice-box then, andpushed it at Colyer.

" Throw," he said.And Colyer said, "You first."'.'I don't want any odds," Ridley an-

swered. "I'll toss up for fiist. I sayheads."

He threw up a cent, and it fell on theboard head up. He took up the dice andthrew. Colyer bent forward and looked.

" That's it," he said. " 1 might as wellnot throw."

The cast was a double-six.Ridley had picked up the dice and

thrown them into the box, and he satholding it for a minute as if for Colyerto take it, staring at him with a dark,doubtful face. Then he threw the boxon the floor and got up upsetting theboard.

'• D—n the dice! " he said.He drew up a table before Colyer and

brought out his chess-board, and rapidlyspread the board and set up the men.

" You taught me the game," he said." You can't complain of your chance.

Will you play 'i "And Colyer sat forward, with a sudden

resolute light in his face, and moved hisqueen's bishop's pawn two squares.

" Hold on a minute," Ridley said.He unlocked a drawer and took out a

tin box, opened it and took out a bundleof papers and threw them on the table.Colyer knew what they wore—govern-ment bonds—the proceeds of a legacywhich had just come into Ridley's hands.Ridley took his watch and chain fromunder the pillow, and laid them on thebonds.

" I play them," he said ; " I play myhorse, my gun, my books, my share andgood will in the business; and if I haveanything else, I stake it on this game."

So they fell to and played pawn againstpawn, knight and castle, and bishop, audqueen, keenly and grimly, with headsbent over the board, the moonlight fall-ing white on the stern, intent faces, anddarkening them with blank shadows.They played long, not relaxing an in-stant, now and then removing a piecefrom the board, or muttering the few lowwords that were part of the game. Byand by Ridley paused longer than usualbefore moving and then moved slowlyand heavily ; and then, without haste orhesitation, Colyer put out his hand andmoved also. Then both leaned back andstood up; but Ridley did not standstraight. They stood opposite one an-other for a minute and then Ridley liftedhis head with a motion as if it hurt him,and said harshly :

" Let me alone now ; I want to sleep.I'll go in the morning."

He took a small bottle from the shelf,and drank a small mouthful of it, andthrew himself into the bed, making itcreak alarmingly. Presently Colyerheard him breathing heavily in a druggedslumber.

Colyer sat facing the window, watch-ing the ghastly square of moonlightcreep across the floor and up the legs ofthe little table ; and, sitting there alonein the still tiight, a fierce conflict of pas-sion waged within him. The overpow-ering longing within him to have thingsas he never doubted they were, to havewhat he had lived for, and was all thathe cared for, possessed him entirely. Hehad played no man false ; he had honest-ly won his prize, and no man could gain-say it. Why should he question, then?Why was he troubled or divided ? Buthis hurt pride, wounded and in the duatas it was, stood up and asserted itself.Had he forgotten or grown cold throughabsence, or let another creep into herplace ? Had she not made him second ?Did>he want a mended faith ? Then hishalf-drowned reason took her part in op-position to his pride and pain. Had henot her esteem, her strong friendship, herconfidence, her unfeigned gratitude?Had she power to give him more ? Coulddebt, or duty, or willingness give more ?Did he owe her anything, that he gaveher all that he had ? Yes, he owed toher, or to his thought of her, all that wasbest in himself—all that was pure, orstrong, or true. And had he been alto-gether unselfish, after all ? Had he, in-deed, done all for her sake only ? Behindthat had he not hidden his own immensegain—his soul's one desire ? Was not shetoo, in trouble to-night, and Jiad be notput her pain aside as not comparable tohis own ? How did he know his was thegreater ? And, was she to blame ? Whowas to blame ? Honestly, he could nottell.

And all the while that he was question-ing and combating with himself, his bit-terness and awful sense of loss were nonethe less above all that. The waters ofdesolation went over him, «nd swept himto and fro, yet would not the brave manwithin him suffer him to be borne alto-gether from his foothold. Some wordssaid by Robertson of Brighton came tohim, vaguely, to the effect that, though aman should lose everything, even to hisfaith in God, yet would it still remain tohim to do justice, and love mercy andtruth. In some grim way there was acertain satisfaction in the thought of hisstill being able to trample himself underfoot, like the pang of pleasure one feelsin the crushing grasp of the forceps on anaching tooth. But this counter currentof self-assertion lay deep beneath theflood of misery that overwhelmed him.

Yet, though his breath came hot andbiting with pain and anger toward herand Ridley, in his deeper and more abid-ing self he was forcing himself to be justand to acknowledge that neither was es-pecially to blame, and that both were introuble as well as he. His heart swelledagainst the inscrutable fate that hadwrought it, as Ridley said. And yet evenin that dark passage he held fast to hisabiding faith in the right and justice ofthe Hand that guides the world, whosegrasp upon our hearts becomes in timeslike that so palpable and awful a reality.He knew it was right; not that be under-stood or comprehended any sense of tbeword in which it could be right, but hefelt that he and those others and theirtroubles were parts, as were the stars andthe dark heights before his eyes, and thewhole struggling, suffering, laughing,unseeing race of men, of one infinitewhole, that finite thought or wordB couldno more comprehend than a foot-rulegauge the waters of the sea. A greathumility overcame him, and his heartwent out with a deep pity for all hisblind, stumbling, foolish brothers, and astrong yearning to understand. Hurt asho was, almost unendurably, he yet clungto what he had left—to truth, and hones-ty, and mercy- At any other time hewould have said to courage, also, but hefelt no great bravery then.

He got up slowly, as if a great weightpressed him down, and moved about inthe sanio way. Tho square of moonlighthad climbed upon the table, and lightedup the chess board and the game thoyhad played. He now first noticed thatRidley had pushed the bonds and thewatch across the table at the end of thegame, and it hurt bim and made himashamed. He pushed them back andwent over the closing moves. Yes, hehad played the better hand, and thecheckmate was complete, and yet he hadlost the game. He took up the dice fromthe floor, and cast them over and over,but the highest count he could make wasa double-five. He changed the arrange-ment of things a little, moving about si-lantly, then went out, and shut the doorsoftly behind him.

He went down to the street, and hissteps turned instinctively toward thehouse up the canon. He stopped at thefence, where shadow and moonlight metand looked up at a certain window. Whenhe had stood there a minute or two, therewas a stir of drapery at the window, andthen a face appeared for a moment, whitein the moonshine. It disappeared, andquickly afterward some one came out ofthe door and timidly down toward thegate. She stopped a little way off, stilland as if in doubt.

" It's me, Maggy," Colyer said.She came near and looked up at him

with an anxious, distressed face and,seeming not to know what to say, putup her hands deprecatingly, and he tookthem in his.

" So you are up, too, Maggy," he saidgently, and smiled in a pitiful fashion.

" Oh, yes," she answered with a thick-ness in her throat at first. " Do yqu thinkI could sleep while you are in trouble ?Indeed, I am not so ungrateful. I amvery, very sorry ! "

He turned away bis head ; he thoughtshe might have lold him it was not true,that it was all a horrible dream. But no,she was sorry, very, very sorry—becauseit was all true. He turned to her againand spoke with an apparent coldness.

" I've been pretty faithful to you, Mag-gy ; don't you think I tmve ? "

And she answered : " Yes, you have in-deed."

" I think I would have died for you anytime these four years. I have made youmy first thought in everything ; I haveput your good and happiness before every-thing else, or have meant to at any rate,I am quite sure. I thought I was unsel-fish, but I don't know now; I don't knowwhether there's any such thing. Butthere's only one thing to do now."

" And do you think I can do and en-dure nothing?" she answered passionate-ly. " Oh, do not go. I will show you Iam not forgetful or ungrateful."

He leaned back in the shadow and saidnothing. Her last word stung him agsin.He had hoped against hope that shewould prove his resolve unnecessary, buteverything she said only confirmed hisconclusions. He did not want her grati-tude. 6

" No, it's no good, Maggy," he said. " Iam not finding fault with you, and do notmean to blame you. It's a mistake, that'sall; and now we've found it out, I'm sor-ry if I've pained you ; I'm sure I neverthought I should. God bless you, Mag-gy. Good-bye."

While she was striving to gather hersenses to answer him, he turned aboutand she saw him move away and passout of her sight, walking slowly andwith the motions of one long sick.

He felt faint; the shadow of the heightweighed him down. He got his horsefrom the stable ; his hands fumbled weak-ly with the saddle and bridle. He tookno provision, no weapon of defense.

He had no conscious thought or carewhich way he went; only these stark,black gorges were a horror to him, andthe thought of the boundless plain drewhim somehow. Out of the fitfully-sleep-ing, God-forsaken settlement, and intothe awful loneliness of the lower defiles,he rode to meet the morning coming upthe eastern slopes.

When Ridley awoke from that druggedslumber Colyer was gone. He found thewatch and chain pushed partly under hispillow, and the bonds in their case lay inthe open drawer The chessmen hadbeen replaced in their box and set away.In their stead on the table stood thedice-box and a penny lay beside it withthe head turned up. The dice lay togeth-er as if thrown, and the count was adouble-six.

Woman's Work.Woman's work on the farm. What is

it ? Or rather, what is it not ? For wo-men on the farm are often called onby their husbands to do work which be-longs only to men.

First and foremost, we will take build-ing fires and milking cows. A prettylord and master you, who, after a day'swork, will send your wife, or even allowher, who has worked as hard, or harder,in proportion to her strength than youhave, and who is probably the most tiredof the two, to go into a muddy yard andmilk the cows, while you, poor over-worked fellow, sit in the easy chair en-joying the last newspaper; or let yourwife get up in the morning, build a fire,milk the cows and get breakfast, whileyou take another " snooze."

On a large farm, especially if a goodmany cows are kept, it is necessary forthe wife to get up early in order to at-tend to the milk while it is cool, and toget breakfast; but the husband shouldget up first. He should make the fire,put on the tea-kettle, and bring the wa-ter, and then go and milk, while his wifogets breakfast.

I think a farmer's wife should knowhow to milk, so that in case of necessity,such as the absence or sickness of herhusband, she can do it; but I do not be-it is right for her to have it to do all thetime. In nine cases out of ten, farmers'wives are overworked. This is not al-ways the fault of their husbands, for theydo not know, many of tbem1 how hard awoman's work is; it loohi easy, and sothey are obliged to do without sufficienthelp. But let a man do a woman's workabout one day (I have done it a goodmany days) and he will change his mind.

A neighbor of ours got married lastspring, and during some of tho hottestdays we have had this summer, with thethermometer above 100 deg., I have seenthe bride work all day on her knees,pulling weeds out of potato hills. If thisis the " happiness of married life," if it isthe eugar of love which sweetens the oupof life, then I will ta^e mine ulear, andregain, A BACHEI.OK.

WHO KNOWS ?—A priest, who was ex-amining a confirmation class in the southof Ireland, asked the question, " Whatis tho sacrament of matrimony ?" A lit-tle girl at the head of the olass answer-ed: •'' Tis a state of torment into whichsouls enter to prepare them for anotherand a better world." " Being," said thepriest " the answer for purgatory." " l'uther down," says the curate, "put herdown to the tut of the class." " Laveher alone," said tho priest, " for anythingyou or I know to the contrary she maybe parfictly right."

Woman's Work.There are two woman suffrage organi-

zations in San Francisco, and a Mrs.Wiggin is prominent in one of them.Recently Mrs. Wiggin told her experiencein the business of getting married. Shechose a woman to do the business, andthough some years had passed since thenthe knot had never slipped. A womanasked sarcastically if the woman knot-tyer was paid half price for the job, butMrs. Wiggin, in her indignation ignoringthe sex of her questioner, replied, "No,sir. We paid her $140 for the work, andI must say that it, was one of tho bestjobs of the kind I have ever Been. Thefollowing, by Mrs. Wiggin, is interest-ing:

" I went the other day to buy a ready-made dress. The male clerk showed meseveral, aud, finally selecting one, I askodhim if he would show me the forewom-an's room, as I wished to try it on. Hereplied, ' Well, the forewoman has goneto lunch just now, but'—and here hethrew the dress over his arm—' if youwill come with me I will fit it for you.'

" What I' says I, you fit my dress forme ? No, sir ! Let mo ask, do you makeit a practice to try on dresses and fitthem, and so on ?' ' Why, certainly,'said he : and I must do him justice tosay that he had the manliness to blushhere. ' Why a good many of our ladycustomers won't have anybody but a manto fit their dresses for them.'

" Now," continued Mrs. Wiggin, " it isthis I am contending for; drive those la-zy, effeminate, namby-pamby dry goodsclerks out into the street, and give theirplaces to intelligent women. The idea ofa man in such a position selling gartersand oorset-strings, bah !"

Doing a Dim." I have a small bill against you," said

a pernicious-looking collector, as he en-tered the store of one who had acquiredthe character of a hard customer.

" Yes, sir, a very fine day, indeed," wasthe reply.

" I am not speaking cf the weather,but your bill," replied the collector in aloud key. .

"I t would be better if we had a littlerain."

" Confou'nd the rain," continued tbecollector, and, raising his voice, added," have you the money to pay this bill? "

" Beg your pardon, I'm hard of hear-ing. I've made it a rule not to lend myfunds to strangers, and I really don't rec-ognize you."

"I'm collector for the Daily Extinguish-er newspaper, sir, and I have a billagainst you," persisted the collector, atthe top of his voice, producing the bill,and thrusting it in the face of his debtor.

" I've determined to indorse bills for noone; you may put the bill back intoyour pocket-book ; I really can't indorseit."

"Confound your indorsement! Willyou pay it 'i "

"You'll pay it, no doubt, sir, butthere's always a risk about these matters,you know, so I must decline it."

"The money must be mine to-day."" Oh, yes, 90 days, but I would not in-

dorse a bill for you at a week; so get outof my store. It is seldom that I*ampressed upon for an indorsement, evenby a friend ; on the part of a stranger,sir, it is inexplicable. Do not force meto put you out; leave the premises."

The bill was returned to the Extin-guisher office indorsed : " So dreadfullydeaf that he couldn't understand."

Blood Drinkers in New York.The correspondent of the Philadelphia

Record writes from New York as followson the above subject:

Upon inquiry at slaughter-houses, it isfound that there are nearly two hundredpersons in the city who are in the habitof drinking blood flowing warmly fromoxen, for strenghening purposes and forthe cure of certain diseases. A Mrs. Em-ily Hunter, of Thirty-fourth street, is re-ported to have spoken to an inquirer asfollows : " Professor Velpeau, of Paris,prescribed blood for me. I was consump-tive and hastening to the grave. It hasprolonged my life fifteen years. I hadthe utmost repugnance for it at first, butnow a half pint of hot blood from a wellconditioned ox is the greatest luxury ofmy life. My sister's baby has been sofar preserved and nourished with littleelse but blood. I know twenty peoplewho drink it in my own neighborhood towhom I have recommended it. I t hasextraordinary effects on some people, es-peoially women, but should not be resortedto unless there is absolute weakness of thesystem." On the visit of the inquirer toa slaughter-houae in Tenth avenue, nearForty-second street, he found a delicate-looking woman with a sickly boy holdinga glass to the blood which ran from anox with its throat cut. Both drank twoor three glasses in turn, and departedwith an appearanco of added vigor. Oneof the butchers was asked whether heever drank blood, and is stated to havereplied to the following effect: " Shurean' I do now; why not now; faith an'yo couldn't tell the difference between itan' milk. It's just as swate, shure ; andin the winter i's warm and foine. Bedadbut it's stringthenin', shure. Hould on an'I'll get ye a dhrap. It's best warm—run-nin' right from the baste." The proprie-tor said : " All last winter we had men,women and children every morning todrink blood. They always imbibe beast'sblood, never the blood of eheep. Someof them wince a bit at first, but whenyou close your eyes blood warm from thebeast's neck has just the same taste aswarm milk from the cow. We don'tcharge for tho blood, except when wesell it to sugar refiners." The blood ofbeeves is asserted to be more efficaciousfor weak lungs thau cod liver oil, and todiffer considerably in its constituentsfrom that of human beings.

. Didu't Kiss Her.From the Sari Antonio Herald.

A gentleman who has been recentlytraveling in the lower counties tells usthe following amusing story: He wasstopping over night at a house where thepartition walls wore particularly thin.The adjoining room was occupied by amother and her daughter. After re-tiring, the mother began to rebuke thedaughter for an alleged partiality tosomebody named John, which soft im-peachment the daughter denied vigor-ously,

"But," said the mother, " I saw himkissing you at the cow-pen yesterdaymorning, Amanda."

"No, ma, he wasn't kissing me at all."" Why did you have your head so close

up to his for ? you doceivin' critter."" Well, you see, ma, I had been eating

pitallas (the fruit of a species of cactus),and you see, ma, I got some of the prick-les in my lips—-and—and—"

" And what, you wicked, wioked crit-ter."

" And I couldn't get them out myself,you know, and John pulled them outwith his teeth—but he didn't kiss menary time."

When a man nearly breaks his necktrying to get out of the way of a "light-ning-bug," supposing it to be the head-light of a locomotive, it is time for himto sign tho pledge.

The Colorado Grasshoppers.Colorado is evidently destined to be-

come a prominent name with the farmersof the Northwest. Wo have had the po-tato beetle from Colorado, and now thoreis the Colorado grasshopper of locust,which has proved even more of a giftthan the beetle, from which the farmerswould be saved. A correspondent of theN. Y. Tribune, returning from Iowa, givesthe following description of these insectsand their habits:

" As the Colorado grasshopper has be-come a national calamity, as much so asthe Colorado beetle, it is important thatthe people know all there is to be knownabout the insect. I have been watchingtheir movements and gathering informa-tion for twenty years. They are not likeany grasshopper I have ever seen ; theyare built with broad face, heavy head andshoulders, with a large, transparent but-terfly wing, and cau fly from four to fivehundred miles without stopping to feed.They do not come down every year ; itvaries from three to five years. The rea-son why we have not heard more of thisinsect in former years is that where theystop to feed there has been no crops grow-ing, or any one to disturb until very re-cently. Away up on the plains of Colo-rado is where they hatch, mature, and de-posit eggs for another generation, andafter eating up everything that is eatablerise on the wing. Their course is firsteast, then north-oast, then north, untilthey settle down in the northwest cor-ner of Iowa ; here they will cover everyinch of an area of sixty miles square, lap-ping over a little into Minnesota and alittle in Dakota. In a few days they riseon the wing all at once, and now theircourse is a trifle west of north. In thenorthern part of Dakota they settle downagain to feed. From here they rise onthe wing and cross over into her Majes-ty's Dominions. They have eaten up alltho green fields in Iowa, tho leaves fromthe trees, and gnawed the bark from thowood. It is estimated that $300,000 wouldnot cover the damage done by them to •the settlers in four days' time. Theirnumbers can only be estimated by thethousand millions. Their usual flight isfrom four to five hundred feet high, butwhen they come to rise up in Iowa mil-lions of them could not rise higher thanfrom three to ten feet. If they strucktheir heads against anything they fellback dead. A large barn in Dakota wasJtauding iu their way and they struckagainst it and fell back dead, a foot thickand ten feet back from the barn; fromthisbaru along aboard fence running threemiles to the north, they were found dead,six inches deep, from four to five feet fromthe fence. And so they kept falling allthe way until they came down the secondtime to feed in the northern part of Da-kota, and even here, in this far off region,wero many farms brought under cultiva-tion which they stripped and left theground as naked as a new-plowed field.I havo conversed with a man that sawthe grasshoppers pass over our boundaryline into British America. He said theydarkened the suu for nearly all one day.

The Object of Advertising-.The N. Y. Newspaper Reporter of the 1st

inst. has a thoughtful article on the ob-ject of advertising. The argument isfrom tho very sound stand-point that thomerchant whose transactions are largestwill, under the general circumstancesgoverning the trade, make the mostmoney, and reap the largest percentageof net profit. Every man must realizethe truth of this who is patient enoughto take all the facts into consideration.We quote one of the several examplesgiven :

" In the same town, in a similar store,B, an older merchant, longer establishedand better known, sells $40,000 per an-num. B gets along with about the samerent, clerk hire doubled, costing him1,000 where A pays but $500. B's entireexpenses for the year are $3,001), whilehis profits are $10,000 gross ; $7,000 net;or 17 1-2 per cent, on the business done,while A made but 15 per cent. net. Anybusiness man of experienco will pro-nounce this exhibit fair. A plan whichwill enable A to increase his business toan amount equal to that done by B with-out reducing his percentage of profit, willbe worth $4,000 a year. If an expendi-ture of $2,000 a year in advertising willdo it, such an expenditure would be jus-tifiable. If an expenditure of $4,000 willmake A's double that of B's, then such anexpenditure will not be imprudent; foron the $80,000 of business there will be$20,000 profit, from which to deduct theexpenses, increased to $4,500, and $4,000paid for advertising, we will have $10,500profit, or $3,500 more than that made byB." '

Emphasis is placed upon these tworequisites—that adcertising brings the cus-tomer, and that he must be retained by bitingwell served. The newspaper is the best ofall mediums through which to reachhim ; goods sold according to representa-tion the only method of retaining a pat-ronage once bestowed.

Honest Compliments.We have heard of a lady of rare beauty

who said, upon a certain occasion, thatthe only real, disinterested complimentshe ever received was from a coal-heaver,who asked permission to light his pipe inthe gleaming of her eyes.

Another compliment, true and genuine,was paid by a sailor who was sent by hiscaptain to carry a letter to the lady ofhis love. The sailor, having deliveredthe missive, stood gazing in silent admir-ation upon the face of the lady, for shewas very beautiful.

"Well, my good man," said she, "forwhat do you wait ? There is no answerto be returned."

"Lady," the sailor returned, with hum-ble deference. " I would like to knowyour name."

" Did you not see it on the letter ? "" Pardon, lady, I never learned to read.

Mine has been a hard, rough life."" And for what reason, my" good man,

would you know my name 'i "" Because," answered the old tar, look-

ing honestly up, " in a storm at sea, withdanger or death afore me, I would like tocall the name of the brightest thing I'dever seen in my life. There'd be sunshinein it even in the thick darkness."

How to Make Mischief.Keep your eye on your neighbors.

Take care of them. Do not let them stirwithout watching. They may do some-thing wrong if you do. To be sure, younever knew them to do anything, verybad, but it may be on your account thatthey have not. Perhaps if it had notbeen for your kind care they would havedisgraced themselves a long time ago.Therefore, do not relax any effort to keepthem where they ought to be. Nevermind your own business—that will takecare of itself. There is a man passingalong—he is looking over the fence—besuspicious of him; perhaps he contem-plates stealing, some of these dark nights;there is no knowing what queer fanciesmay have got into his head.

If you find any symptoms of any onepassing out of the path of duty tell everyone else you see, aud be particular to seea great many. It is a good way to cir-culate such things, though it may notbenefit yourself, or anyone else particu-larly. Do keep something going—silenceis a droadful thing; though it is saidthere was silence in Heaven for tho spaceof half an hour, do not let such a thingoccur on earth, it would be too much forthis mumdane sphere.

If after all your watchful care, you cannot see anything out of the way in any-one, you may be sure it is not becausethey have not done anything bad ; per-haps in an unguarded moment you lostsight of them—throw out hints that theyare no better than they should be, thatyou should not wonder if the peoplefound out what thoy were in a littlewhile, then they may not hold their headsso high. Keep it going, and some oneelse may take the hint and begin to helpyou along after a while, then there willbe music and everything will work like acharm.

A Woman on Woman Suffrage.We make the following extracts

from an article by Mrs. Church, editorof the Owosso Press—a lady qualifiedby education, experience and charac-ter to treat the subject intelligentlyand candidly. She givos utterance tothe sentiment of a great majority ofthe better class of women in this Stateand elsewhere :

Circumstances have thrown us foryears where the study of women, theirc ipabilities, needs, dutios, and best in-terests have formed a prominent fea-ture of observation, and the conclu-sion arrived at is that both nature andthe permanent welfare of society areboth better subserved with the pres-ent division of duties—women con-trolling the social and domestic, andmen the affairs of civil government—than they would be by adding to thepresent duties of women a share ingovernment affairs.

All occupations are open to womenin. Michigan, and when from a necessi-ty or choice a woman engages in anybusiness or vocation, no moral obliga-tion is thereby laid upon any otherwoman to do the same. But the de-positing of a vote by one womanwhich will have influence in shapingour government policy, imposes uponanother woman of different politicalviews a duty she has no right toshirk—that of casting a counteractingvote. And as for not being compelledto assume any civil duty, althoughthe cases are rare where any one re-fuses to hold an office when elected,still there is a law on our statute bookscompelling people elected to certainoffices to serve under penalty of afine.

Our opinion is also the generallyexpressed feeling of the mass of wom-en in Michigan, that they have enoughto do without any additional burdens.The welfare of the country is just asmuch dependent upon its social anddomestic management as upon the po-litical machinery, and we hope theday is not far distant when the bar-riers between the two spheros shall beremoved, and the influences of politi-cal corruption and chicanery bebrought any more more intimately toour homes than now. As for woman'spurifying politics, that is rather chi-merical. The Eev. Dr. Cuyler, ofBrooklyn, says , " Who is going topurify woman after she has purifiedpolitics?"

Far be it from us to stand in theway of any real advancement of our sex.We challenge the female suffragists toproduce one of their number who hasdone more for the past fifteen years,proportionate to her sphere, to advancewomen and make them self-supportingthan we have. And this not becauseof any legal advantages they were la-boring under, but as a means of ele-vating their character and renderingthem independent in case of necessity.All this time wo recognize the spherein which the God that made womanhas placed her physically acd morally—the home sphere. It requires avast amount of executive ability tocarry on faithfully and smoothly thehousehold machinery to the comfortand well-being of all its inmates, and aconscientious training of children ; anda woman who does this well does a

good work for the world, and as much. . . . . . , „ . E

ry fire being got under, the buglesounded to return to posts, the enemy'sship still approaching. The order wasnext given to ' ram' her. All themen returned to the breastwork deck,and lying down with their heads for-ward, prepared for the shock. Theimaginary enemy being pierced, thedrum again beat to quarters, gunswere reloaded, and after backing outfrom the supposed disabled ship, abroadside of four guns were pouredinto her. This was not supposed tohave destroyed the enemy, and thebugle sounded to secure the guns.On the captain receiving reports thateverything was secured, the buglethen sounded dismissal."

FRIDAY MORNINO, AUQ- 28. 1874.

Dur-as ought to be required of her.perience is better than theory,ing the few brief years of life devotedto the holy duties of wife and mother,we should very much have pitied anyoutside duties, either business or polit-cal, that had been dependent upon ns ;and since by the hand of death homeduties have been removed, and the ab-sorption of a business life has takenplace, we certainly should pity anyhousehold dependent on us for dailycomforte. Every year of business em-ployment but adds to our convictionthat the houses of the land need wom-en devoted to them, and that thosewho perform well their part thereinperform well their duties in life. Forthose who by circumstances or choicehave no home obligations resting uponthem, or those whose home necessitiesrender outside labor necessary, anybusiness occupation or profession theymay choose to follow is open to themin this State, without, as before stated,rendering it incumbent upon any otherwoman, from a sense of duty to dothe same.

All women who undertake to main-tain themselves in any respectable lineof business in which they show them-selves competent, will meet good en-couragement from the men of Michi-gan. Women are not slaves in Michi-igan, and they know it ; in fact, theycarry things pretty nearly their ownway, and we believe if there was anearnest, conscientious desire on thepart of the home women of the Statefor the ballot, the men would cheerful-ly grant it to them. As it is, the suffrageamendment is looked upon as alreadyvoted down, because the women of theState, except a few restless spirits,spurred on by outsiders, have not askedfor it.

Comments on " Moses."The Republicans of this Congress-

ional district yesterday renominatedMoses W. Field for Congress. Manyof them would no doubt have likedwonderfully well to shake off the graspof that gentleman, but he had too se-cure a hold upon " the party " to makeany such an undertaking successful.

Mr. Field's renomination demon-strates two facts : First that the Re-publican party in this district does notcare a straw how absurd or unsound aCongressional candidate's financialviews are, provided implicit confidencecan be placed in his partisanship, andprovided, further, that he will bleedfreely for the " cause." That no ob-jection can be made to Mr. Field onthe score of partisanship we are wil-ling to concede. So far as in him lieshe can be depended upon to do every-thing possible to advance the interestsof the office holders—and this consti-tutes the grand test of partisanship.Of the manner in which he fulfills thesecond requisite the last campaign fur-nished substantial proof.

In the second place Mr. Field's can-didacy shows how trivial an ofiense inthe eyes of the Republican partty ofWayne County it is to deprive a soldierof his bounty money, and how little itcares what the thousands of WayneCounty volunteers think of the matter.That Mr. Field was guilty of the of-fense with which he was charged dur-ing the campaign two years since, butwhich was then decried by his parti-sans, is shown by the judgment of thearbitrators in the case, a majority ofwhom were Republicans. While thebrave soldiers were risking their livesin defense of the Union, Mr. Field, whonow appears in the attitude of a suppli-ant for their votes, was engaged in thedespicable business of depriving one oftheir number of money to which hewas justly entitled. But the Republi-cans think this is of no consequence—that they can cram Field down thethroats of Republican soldiers.

How do the hard money Republi-cans of Wayne County like their Con-gressional candidate? How do thesafe, steady-going, conservative, busi-ness men of Detroit, almost to a man infavor of honest money, like the manthe Republicans have set up for Con-gress ? Will they stultify themselvesby voting for him at election ? Willthey not rather do their part towardrelieving the district of a Representa-tive whose rag money, introconvertiblebond theories are so utterly at variancewith the doctrines they hold ? Andhow do the soldiers like the Republi-can candidate ? Will they swallowhim, contaminated as he is ? Willthey not rather contemptuously spew

Everything went off accord-ing to the programme, for his nominationwas unanimously made and without theformality of a ballot, the motion to nomi-nate being made by Mr. CAMPBEIX, ofthis county, who it was understood wentto the convention to present and pressthe name of J .

ONK GEO. W. LAWTOX, of Van Buren

County, propounds a " baker's dozen" of"Prohibit ion Conundrums" to the edi-tor of the Detroit Tribune, conundrumswhich he imagines provo, without an-•wers, that the Democratic party favoredprohibition in 1800 (the dntc of the pro-hibitory clause in the Constitution), andthat the Republican party has favoredprohibition ever since, and that, there-fore, a mnjority of the people of the Rtutefavor prohibition to-day. Ilia first co-nundrum may be answered yes. In I860the State was strongly Democratic, andthe Convention which framed tho Con-stitution of 1S,")0 was a Democratic liody

His second conundrum reads :

2. Was not the Legislature of 1865, which en-acted the •' liquor act," made uy with a largemajority of its members trom the Democraticfold ?

Deoidedly, NO! The Sonato of 1848stood, Republicans, 2~>; Democrats, 7.In the House there was a large Kepubli.can majority, say full two-thirds of thebody being Republicans.

His third conundrum, reads::i. Was not the Governor who signed the

an original Democrat !J

The Governor who signed tho law wasKINSLEY S. BRIGIIAM, a Republican of

the " first water." Mr. LAWTON shouldhave a better memory. And yet were heright, tho sentiment of a party or of theState in lHoo is no indication of the senti-ment of parties or people to-day. Ex-perience and observation have taughtsome lessons not then learned. A fairerway to get at the sentiment of the peo-ple of the State would be the submissionof alternative propositions—one contain-ing prohibition and another permittinglicense with restraining legislation.That tho last Legislature refused : fear-ing, we presume, that a majority of thepeople of the State have had enough ofprohibition which neither prohibits norrestrains, and prefer license with regula-tion and restraint.

That this conundrum propounders1

logical and reasoning faculties are nobetter than his memory wo have the fol-lowing in proof,—the ninth in his series :

9. Are not the laws against adultery, lascivi-ous cohabitation, et id omne genus, as constant-ly violated throughout the State as is the liijuorlaw?

If constantly means generally, no! Ifthat is not what is meant it is not a par- 'allol conundrum.

ALL SORTS OF PES-SCBATCHES.

- - T h e prominent business men of Cin-cinnati are generally signing a paperprotesting against the further inflation ofan irredeemable paper currency, favoringa return to specie payments, and pledg-ing support to such Congressional candi-dates as hoM and indorse such views. Ifneither party presents such candidatesthey pledge themselves to put up andsupport candidates of their own. Thisaction ought to bring the Ohio inflationpoliticians to their senses.

— It is well to have an occasionalamusing morsel in the mans of disgustingTiltou-Beecher scaudtil diet which thepublic is compelled to digest drtily. Onesuch morsel is found in the statement ofBessie, Tilton's pretegt or adopted daugh-ter, that she had seen Susan B. Anthonysitting on Tilton's lap. And yet, Susan,the " high old girl," confesses to being 55years oi l , and is reputed to be a man-hater! What must have been Susan'shabits when she was young and in herprime ?

— Montana, the perverse and. head-strong Montana, not having the fear ofthe national administration present be-fore its voters, has gone and done it •tUat is, it has re-elected Maginnis Dele-gate to Congress, by 1,007 majority, anincrease of about 700 from his majorityin 1872. What will become of the coun-try if such goings on are to be tolerated.Grant must return to Washington, oallhome his wandering advisers, and recon-struct the voters throughout the land.

— The Ypsilanti Commercial says :

" The Tilton-Beecher scandal is only anoutgrowth of our women having com-paratively no responsibility, save homedrudgery or following in an unrestrainedround of fashion." And yet Mrs. Stan-ton said, " We were all reformers;" SusanB. sat on T. T.'s knee; and Mrs. Wood-

The Devastation in Action.The great British ironclad Devasta-

tion recently took part in a mock na-val action. The London Daily Tele-graph says:

" All the men, from the captain tothe lowest grade, were under ordersto be on board by 9 A. M. At 9.30the drum beat to quarters, it beingunderstood that in the pilot tower anenemy's ship had been sighted in thedistance. The captain took his " postwithin the shell-proof-tower, and gavehis commands through speaking-tubes.The turrets were manned by their fullcomplement of men, 24 to each gun,11 taking inside an 13 outside positionsin working each. From the turretsdown to the magazines every trap-hole was manned. On the word beinggiven to ' load guns ' the 700 poundshells were within a minute broughtout, hoisted on the pulley carriage,run down to the gun's mouth, and thegun loaded and run out. The dis-tance from the enemy being given, thegun was raised to the proper level, anddischarged within the second minute.The enemy, being supposed to haveescaped, bore down on the Devastation,and boats put off to board her. Thebugle sounded to arms to . repel theboarders, when two-thirds of the menof the crew—comprising 100 men eachdivision—flew to arms, and withswords and guns ran up to the board-ing-deck, the third division remainingbelow to protect the magazines, and asa reserve. The boats being repulsed,it was supposed that the enemy hadreturned to their guns, and that ashell having burst had set fire to theDevastation. On this three bellswere rung, and the men were orderedto the hose. Four hose were set inoperation on the soundings of the bu-gle, and the forepart of the ship wasdeluged with water at the rate of aboutthree tons per minute. The imagina-

Jiegro Reservations.The National Era, a paper which Mr.

Frederick Douglass controls, givesthis advice to the freedmen :

" Leave those States in which youare in the minority and the subjects ofprejudice and outrage, and remove tothe States where you will be in themajority, and thus protect yourselfagainst the indignities to which youare now exposed in many of theStates."

The Era goes on to recommendSouth Carolina, Florida, Mississippi,and Louisiana as eligible States.There is much more in this suggestionthan meets the eye. The first and lastof the States named are those inwhich the freedmen are most in as-cendency, and those two are, beyonddispute the worst-governed and worst-plundered commonwealths in any civ-ilized country. Of course we do notblame the freedmen for this, and ofcourse it is too late now, if anybodywished it, to retrace the steps by whichthese ignorant people were intrustedwith a power they, and the white dem-agogues who have got control of them,have so shamefully abused. But ifthe blacks are to enter in the fourStates named, so as to secure a contin-uance and intensification of the presentmisgovernment, it is plain that thewhites who inhabit them will be eagerto leave them, and that no reasonableman will put his money into any in-dustrial enterprise of which the returnsare so uncertain as they must be inStates given over to the rule of thefreedmen. We own to surprise atfinding so shrewd a person as Mr.Douglass giving this advice to hisrace. It is a confession that negroesand whites cannot get on together asequals in communities where theblacks are numerous enough to betroublesome and not numerous enoughto be predominant. It is in effect asuggestion that they should be setapart from the whites as the Indianshave been set apart, on the ground ofan incompatibility which forbids thetwo races to live together. But Mr.Douglass ought to know that the prop-osition which virtually he makes, to setoff four populous and once wealthy

nomination in a brief speach, in whichhe defended the policy of the Republicanparty, a policy so mixed and indefinitethat it would puzzle him to explain oreven announce it. And so ended the for-mal farce of the day.

— As it was known that three of thedelegation from this county were earnestfriends of Mr. GUILDS, and also under-stood that Mr. GUILDS had friends in theLenawee and Monroe delegations, wewere at a loss to understand why his namewas withdrawn before a ballot. But in-quiring of a WALDRON delegate as towhat inducements were offered to bringabout such unanimity, we were surprisedto hear that the WALDRON men pledgedthemselves to go in for CHILDS for

United States Senator; and, further, thatCHILDS believe his chances for that posi-tion good. Since go many men believethe stories of TILTON, BEECHER, M O U L -

TON & Co., we have little doubt that thisstory of our informer will also be credit-ed in some circles. The position and rep-utation of our informant ought to leaveno doubt.

— P. S. We have been terribly " cod-ded" by the aforesaid WALDRON (dele-gate). CHILDS was made President ofthe Republican State Convention onWednesday, a sufficient salve for wound-ed pride. And from another source welearn that he might have been the' candi-date for Auditor General had he notgiven a pledge to his Brother Granger,LUCE, that he wouldn't go on to the Stateticket. Well, the County Convention isyet to be held, and his services will pro-bably be demanded in an honorable posi-tion (if not a profitable one), as they al-ways have been in a pinch. Anybody isgood enough for a place when success iscertain.

License in Ohio.The Bucyrus (Ohio) Forum says :The voters of Ohio, by a very sub-

stantial majority, have declared in fa-vor of regulating the traffic in intoxi-cating liquor by a license law. Thevote is emphatic on that subject, andno one can be ignorant of what thepeople want. If our legislators, inresponse to the popular verdict, willsubmit an amendment to the presentConstitution, whereby the sale andtraffic in intoxicating liquorsmay be putunder safe and wholesome restraint,they will prove that they respect thewishes of those whose representativestaey are. Such an amendment wouldbe adopted by the largest majority evergiven in the State.

T H E Detroit Post is »n anti-inflationjournal, and favors an early resumptionof specie payments, yet it is happy overthe renomination of MOSES W. F I E L D by

the Republicans of the First district. Inannouncing and indorsing such renomi-nation the Post says :

On one question—that of the currency—wehave stronglv differed from Mr. Field during thefinancial discussion at the last session of Con-gress. The question has now, however, beeupractically settled by the veto of tho President,and by the financial measures passed just beforeCongress adjourned, and approved by the Presi-dent. It is an issue of the past, and not likelyto he again revived. If it should again arise,however, the Republican Representatives inCongress from Michigan will be guided by thewill of tho party and of the people of the State.

niander, dated Bear Butte, Black Hills,Dakota Territory, August loth, was re-ceived this forenoon at Gen. Terry'shead-quartara. After detailing his operations,and thti finding in one direction of animpassable barrier, which w»s finally cir-cumvented, the General says:

1 propone to return by a different, al-though perhapH not shorter, route thantidoptud in turning to the Blttck Hills,t am induced to make this change in or-der to embrace a larger unexplored coun-try within the limits of our explorations,and particularly to umblp us to locate asmuch as pofwible ot that portion of theLittle Missouri, of which nothing is nowknown. I aspect the expedition to reachFort Lincoln on tbe 31st of August.The health of tbe couimund has been andis most excellent.

This expedition entered the BlackHills from the west side, penetratedthrough the eastern and most southernranges, explored the major portions ofthe interior, and passed out of the mosteastern ranges which form the boundaryof the Black Hills. From the fact thatiu all our principal marches through theBlack Hills, we have taken without seri-ous obstacle, a heavy laden train of overone hundred wagons, it may be inferredthat tbe Black Hills do not constitute theimpenetrable region heretofore repre-gonted. Entering the Black Hills fromany direotion the most serious, if notonly, obstacles were encountered, onlynear the outer base that probably ao-counts for the mystery which has so longexisted regarding tbe character of theinterior. The exploring expeditions havecontented themselves with marchingaround their base, and from the forbid-ding aspect of the hills, as viewed at adistance, inferred that an advance to-ward the interior would only encounterincreased obstacles.

In regard to the character of the coun-try inclosod by the Black Hills I canonly repeat what I have stated in previ-ous dispatches. No portion of the UnitedStates can boast of a richer or betterpasturage, and purer water, tbe naturaltemperature of which in summer, as itflows from the earth, is but twelve de-grees above the freezing point and ofgreater advantage generally to a farmeror stock raiser than is to be found. Inthe Black Hills building stone of the bestquality is to be found in inexhaustiblequantities, wood for fuel and lumber suf-ficient for all time to come. Rains arefrequent, with no evidence in the coun-try of either drouth or freshets. Theseasons, perhaps, are too short and thenights too cool for corn, but I believe allother grain could be produced here inwonderful abundance. Wheat wouldparticularly yield largely.

There is no doubt as to the existenceof the various minerals throughout thehills, as this subject has received theespecial attention of the experts who ac-companied the expedition and will boreported upon in detail. I will onlymention tbe fact that iron and plum-bago have been found, and bods of gyp-sum of apparently inexhaustible quan-tity. I referred in a former dispatch tothe discovery of gold. Subsequent ex-aminations at numerous points confirmand strengthen the fact ot the existenceof gold in the Black Hills and some ofthe water courses. Almost every panfulof earth produced gold in small, yet pay-ing quantities. Our brief halts in rapidmarching prevents anything but a veryhasty examination of the country in thisrespect, but in one place, and the onlyone within my knowledge where so greata depth was reached, a hole was dugeight feet deep. The miners report theyfound gold among the roots of the grass,and from that point to the lowest pointgold was found in paying quantities. I thas not needed an expert to find gold inthe Black Hills, as men without formerexperience in mining have discovered it.at an expense of but little time or labor.

As an evidence of the rich pasturing tobe found in this region I can state thatmy beef herd, after marching upwards ofsix hundred miles, is in better conditionthan when I started, being as fat as isconsistent with their marching condi-tion. The same may be said of themulos of the wagon train. The horses ofthe command are in good working con-dition. I have never seen as many deeras in the Black Hills. Elk and bearhave also been killed.

We have had no collision with thehostile Indians.

" Nobody can crush Mr. Butlerdown permanently. Nobody can keephim out of Massachusetts politics aslong as he remains in the UnitedStates ; and even in Vienna or St. Pet-ersburg he could only be preventedfrom interfering by stopping the mailsand cutting the ocean cable. At thesame time his influence is now and al-ways has been exaggerated; and,while he is never to be despised as aweak enemy, we believe it unwise tolet the fear of possibilities modify allpolitical measures- At present Mr.Butler is under a cloud. It is his na-ture and his temperament, not to speakof his general c«urse, to be constantlyplacing himself under adverse influen-ces. If he is left alone there can beno doubt he will continue to prove hisown worst enemy. We throw outthese remarks simply as suggestions tothe Kepublican leaders. Viewing thequestion from our independent stand-point, we have indicated what seemsto us good policy."

He says thatAnn Eliza is the lawful wife of Jas.

He objects to paying$20,000 to her attorney and $1,000 permonth to her. He says that all hisproperty does not exceed in value thesum of $600,000, and that his incomedoes not exceed $6,000 per month;that he has a large family now, con-sisting of 63 persons, all of whom aredependent upon him for support.

The yards were full but not more than one inten could be selectected as choice shippers, andconsequently there were no Eastern buyen inthe market, or at least so very few that theywere scarcely noticeable. One serious injury tothe market and to feeders and farmers generallyis the amount of poor cattle thrown upon ta«market every week at prices beyond what anjcareful, experienced bayer can afford to pay,and the result is not only a loss to themselre*but to every class of seller in the market, andwhen these gentlemen return to the countrythey fail to offer, perhaps, what stock may re-ally be worth, thus working an injury to th«farmer as well as the general market. Carefulbuyers generally pay all cattle are worth andno more, and if there were more more of themin the State the market would not be subject toso many demoralizing influences.

resin one ounce, and beeswax one ounce,and when nearly cooled solid add as muchneat's-foot oil as the above mixture meas-ures. It is to be applied with a soft rugboth to the soles and to the uppers. Theleather should he warmed meanwhile be-fore a fire, and the application wellrubbed in. It requires two applicationsto make the leather thoroughry water-proof.

Another way :—Dissolve three-quartersof an ounce of paraffine in a pint of lardoil. The best quality of oil should beused. It will be necessary to heat theoil in order to dissolve the parnffine.This solution may be rubbed on bootsonce a month, and it in said to renderthem perfectly water-tight, at the sametime it does not interfere with the black-ing. If the solution is found to makethe leather too stiff, the amount of par-affine in proportion to the amount of oilshould b« reduced.

The Alabama Republicans.MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 22.—The Re-

publican State Convention adjourned to-day after a three days' session. The reso-lutions declare unshaken confidence andunalterable devotion to the great prin-ciples of human liberty, viz.: The civiland political equality of all men withoutdistinction of race or color. " We havenever claimed, and do not now, thesocial equality of different races, or ofindividuals of the same race, and we re-ject the issue of race against race tender-ed by the Democratic party, and which, ifpersistad in by that party, will plunge usagain into war with the Government ofthe United States. We neither desire norseek the invasion of the rights of thewhite people by the colored, but only askequal advantages in matters of publicand common right. The Republicanparty does not desire or seek mixedschools or mixed accommodations for col-ored people, and wants no special equali-ty enforced by law. We recognize thefact that every house is sacred from in-trusion, and that in a free country everyone can dictate for himself.

" We demand a vigorous exeoution ofthe laws of this State and the UnitedStates for the protection of life, libertyand property, and call on the Governorto take all legal means to discover andbring to trial all persons offendingagainst the laws. Murder by lying inambush, whether by one or many, mustbe put an end to ; the peace and securityof the humblest home be respected andprotected."

A pledge is given to use the means ofthe State for the payment of all its justdebts and provide for a proper adjust-ment of its railroad indebtedness, and toput an end to the further indorsement ofthe bonds of all private corporations.

TheSaginaw Lumber Market.From the Lumberman's Gazette.

There h nothing of special momentto report in the lumber market thisweek, further than that the general in-dications continue favorable for an im-provement in time. The mills on theriver are closing up on the end of theirstocks with great rapidity, the greatbulk of the logs have come ont of theTittabawassee, the principal source ofsupply of the river, and hereafter thedelivery from the boom will be of theleavings, which have not been reachedbefore in some years- The generalfeeling is that, though the trade con-tinues dull in sympathy with all otherbusiness, yet the business is on a goodbasis for ths future. The old logs areall out of the way, and the operationsin the woods will inevitably be muchcurtailed this winter by the financialstress, should there be no concertedand organized effort to keep down thelog cutting. The state of affairs in theother lumber districts being similar,there is no reason to doubt that thesupply for next year will be very large-ly reduced. This will be somewhataffected, though not largely, in thissection by the necessity of cutting sometimber through which forest fires haverun ; but making the largest allowancefor this, the aggregate of the opera-tions will be small compared with theusual cut. The stock of lumber on theriver docks here is much lower proba-bly than is generally supposed, peoplehaving been led to exaggerated esti-mates by the loud complaints of dull-ness of demand and short shipments.The latter, as has been apparent fromthe comparative statements we havegiven from time to time, have runahead of the corresponding periodslast year, notwithstanding the unsatis-factory conditions of the business.

FARM NOTES.

BY \VM. C. 15KYANT.

Far back in agesThe plow with wreaths was Drowned,

The hands of kings and sagesEntwined the chaplots round,

Till men of spoilDisdained the toil

By which the world was nourished,And blood and pillage were the soil

In which their laurels flourished.Now tha world her fault despairs—

The guilt that stains her story,And weeps her crimes amid the cares

That form her earliest glory.

The throne shall crumble,The diadem shall wane,

The tribes of earth shall humbleThe pride of those who reign

And war shall layHis pomp away;

The fame that heroes cherishThe glory earned in deadly fray

Shall fade, de;ay and perish.Honor waits o'er all the earth,

Through endless generations,The art that calls the harvest forth,

And feeds the expectant nations.

California Fruit.From the New York Tribune.

The rapidity with which fruit can nowbe transported across the continent fromCalifornia to this city, and the splendidcondition in which it arrives in thismarket, has created for it a trade that isnot only worthy of note, but is to someextent surprisiag. In order to ascertainall the details of this trade, a Tribune re-porter recently visited Jersey City on thearrival of the California fruit cars, andthere ascertained from observation andconversation with the railroad officialsand consignees many facts of interest.The fruit, which at the present time con-sists of Bartlett pears, German prunesand plums, is first very carefully picked,and then turned over to the packers. Itis next

SOKTED WITH GREAT CARE,and those which may be over ripe, or inthe slightest degree damaged, are pickedout and laid aside for home use. Duringthis process the fruit has to be very care-fully handled, as the least abrasion rend-ers it unfit for packing, the slightestunsoundness of one plum or pear imper-iling the whole box. The fruit is thenwrapped carefully in paper, each pearor plum by itself, and next packed in abox so tightly,that it is impossible for theplums or pears to shake or knock againsteach other while en route to the East.Although so closely packed, the paperwrappers prevent any undue pressure orcontact between the fruit. The boxesare made sufficiently open to admit theair, and yet the openings are not wideenough for any ordinary damage throughhandling the fruit. These boxes are INinches long by 12 inches.broad, and whenintended for pears are 12 inches deep,rendering them capable of holding about200. When intended for plums the depthis very little more than six inches, thebox holding about the same number ofthat class of fruit.

The boxes having been thus packed areshipped East by means of the DiamondRefrigerator Line, along the Pacific Rail-road, and

STOWED AWAY IN CARS

constructed for the purpose. These carshave double walls of wood, the interven-ing spaces being filled with cork, thefloor covered with zinc, and a roof inwhich is an ice-chest capable of holdingseveral tons of ice. When the car isloaded, thick double doors closo thecooling-chest, an ordinary railroad cardoor then shutting the whole from theoutside world. When thus closed theonly air that can reach the contents ofthe car is through the air passages ; asmall but constant current passing underthe eaves of the car into the ice-chest,where it is cooled to the temperature ofmelting ice, from 35 to 36 degrees Pahr.This cold air then sinks by its ownweight through air passages along thesides and ends of the car into the recep-tacle or storehouse of the fruit, at thesame time driving out, through ventila-tors in the roof, any air that might havebecome heated inside the car. The warmair thus driven out is made to pass againover the ice, and after being cooled fallsas before into the receptacle. By thesemeans

A CONSTANT CXJKRENT OF AIR

of an even temperature is kept up—notcold enough to freeze the fruit, but suf-ficiently cold to prevent any change tak-ing place in its condition. Whole car-loads of perishable fruit are thus consigned in California to persons in thiscity, and arrive in the market in an ex-cellent condition. The cost of transportis vfiry great, a certain oar-load consist-ing of 340 boxes of pears and 299 boxesof plums and prunes, having cost forfreight and charges alone 11,200. But,as the fruit realized at wholesale, uponthe average, about $5 per box, the ship-ment of a car of fruit at this time of theyear proves to be somewhat of a profit-able investment, the gross receipts beingover $3,000 per car.

On the morning of the reporter's visit,the California fruit cars had been at-tached to the early express train, and ar-rived at the depot in Jersey City between5 and 6 o'clock A. if. The consignee'swagons or trucks were already in wait-ing at the time of the arrival of the train,the producers having informed theiragents in the city, by both mail and tele-graph, of the shipment of their consign-ments.

THE REFRIGERATOR CARShaving been backed up to the platformspecially set apart for the delivery of thiskind of fruit, the railroad company'sagent at Jersey City took possession ofthe car, and unlocked the doors, whichhad been securely fastened in California,the agent here only having duplicate keys.By this course, all possibility of the con-tents of the cars being tampered withwhile en route was completely avoided.As soon as the double doors of the carhad been opened, the coldness of the airwithin was very perceptible, even on theplatform and bofore entering the car.The company's employes then proceededto unload the car, each one separately,the car men of the consignees receivingthe boxes directly from their hands, andloading them, at once into the markettrucks. So rapidly was this work exe-cuted that, notwithstanding the late hourat which the train arrived, a portion ofthe consignments of each agent was con-veyed across the North River in time tocatch the market trade. The boxes wereexamined by the consignees on arrivingin this city, and the fruit was found to bein excellent condition, although, accord-ing to the advices, it must have been ninedays on the way from San Francisco.

To Preserve Green Fodder.The farmers of Europe have a method

of preserving green fodder, Euch as tur-nip tops, beet tops, etc, by which it canbe kept good for six to twelve months.A trench two to four ft deep is dug in a dryspot in the Held, and the tops of roots,carefully gathered when free from rainor dew, are thrown into it. They arevery compactly pressed down, and whenthe pit is filled some straw is laid uponthe fodder and the earth is heaped overthe whole. In this manner this product,which is generally wasted in a greatmeasure, is utilized.

Salt is generally sprinkled upon thefodder and aids in its preservation. Itwould be worth while when our root cropia being gathered to preserve the tops inthis way as an experiment. It is notprobable that there will be any difficultyon account of our colder climate in thuspreserving for future use a very consider-able amount of fodder. The principal re-quisites are to pack away the leaves whendry, to compress them as closely as possi-ble, and to cover them so completely withearth that all access to air is prevented.It is by the exclusion of air that they arekept from decay.

Profits of Sheep Farming In NebraskaThe fanner who settles on the fertile

prairies of Nebraska, should make " live-stock " a watchword. A correspondentin that State sends us the following en-couraging "showing" made by Mr. My-ers, of Gago County, a sheep farmer, whohas been about four yoars in Nebraska.Gage County is in the southern portionof tho State ; and a branch of the Bur-lington & Missouri River Railroad runsthrough it. Tho land is good and thenatural grasses sweet and nutritive, butit is no more than a fair average of Ne-braska, south of the Platte.

Mr. Myors thus "figures" the problemof sheep farming in Nebraska, with aflock of 1,000 head:—100 tons of hay,costing $3 per ton for putting up, $300;500 bushels of sheaf oats, $ 100; shep-herding for 8 months, $150; wages oione man for 4 months, $100; do. onemonth, $30; washing, shearing, and pack-ing wool, $200; salt, $35; shedding forwinter, $50; losses at two per cent., $70 ;total, $1,035. By 4,500 lbs. of wool, at 40c.per lb., #1,800; 400 lambs, at $2.50, $1,-000 ; total, $2,800.

Mr. Myers considers his allowance forexpenses vory liberal. He charges hayat too high a figure and tho percentageof loss is not generally so large as stated,as sheep are subject to no disease what-ever, on the Nebraska prairie. One manalso could take charge of a flock of athousand during the summer months ;and, in winter, one boy could feed them,as it is best to let the sheep run to thehay all the time, and the oats are to befed in the sheaf. Mr. Myors furtherclaims that if a farmer will do most ofhis work himself, hiring help only whenit is necessary—for harvesting hay, shear-ing, tfce.—the sheep will pay him $3 perhead, as against $2 when help is hiredliberally. Mr. Myers estimates his sheepto bo worth $3.50 each. On 1,000 sheep,tho investment would be $3,500; and asthe net profit shown above amounts to$1,765, the return on the investment isover 50 per cunt.

Is Dust in Fruit-Culture Beneficial .'It is singular that along dusty road-

sides there is generally an abundance offruit, and this abundance is generally inproportion to the quantity of dust. Notonly is the fruit abundant, but the leaveswe are generally remarkably healthy; anddo not remember an instance of a blight-ed or seriously diseased tree, when theyhave been covered with roadside dust.

This has been frequently noted in re-gard to old pear trees in gardens alongroadsides; but this year, especially as tothe cherry, was very striking, especiallylow-headed, pie cherries, which are moreeasily covered with dust than trees oflarger size. In this vicinity this year wehave had a particularly dusty time.There was no rain of any consequence forfive weeks, and the roads, many of themat least, are not famous for a freedomfrom dust. The consequence was thatmany of the trees wore for weeks of adusty brown, instead of their usual livinggreen. The trees did not seem to mind itIn the least, and the prodigious crops ofcherries that they bore was somethingwonderful. One friend gathered fourhundred pounds from one tree, which hesold for ten cents per pound, yielding thehandsome sum of forty dollars from onetree. This tree stands on the little grasspatch in front of the house, and thusserved the double purpose of puttingmoney into its owner's pockets, and ofscreening the house from much of thedust.

We do not pretend to account for thiscurious fact, but rest with simply statingIt. It is supposed that the plant breathesthrough its leaves,—how it does this whencovered with dust it is not for us to say.It may be that the minute insects whichcrowd on fruit trees generally don't likedust ; indeed, people do say that it is todestroy insects that chickens so love tocover themselves with dust. Again,some people have a notion that manyfruit diseases come from minute fungiwhich develop on the leaves and branch-es, and soon cover the whole surface, de-stroying tissues as they go. It may bethat absolutely dry dust falling on theseminute, juicy little plants, may suck themoisture out of them and leave themhigh and dry. We do not pretendto discuss any of these propositions ;but at the same time it is curious tonote that these dust-covered fellowsshould always do so well.— GermantownTelegraph.

EFFECTS OF SULPHUR ON SWINE.—Themedical effect of sulphur and copperas onswine is alterative and tonio combined.Sulphur in large doses is an irritant; inmedicinal doses, a laxative, alterative,and general stimulant of the mucous sur-faces, when applied externally, an effica-cious remedy for skin diseases. Given tothe pig internally, it acts as an alterative,exerting a gentle stimulant action, es-pecially on the processes of secretion, andgradually improving the general health.Its efficiency as a vermifuge, though oftenextalled, is probably over estimated.Copperas is irritant, astringent, andtonic. Its irritant properties appear todepend on its chemical action on the al-buminous tissues, and the vital reactionconsequently induced. When given insmall and repeated doses, it acts not onlyas an astringent, but also as a tonic. Itseffects on the system depend on a chemi-cally astringent and vitally invigoratinginfluence, exerted first in the intestinalcanal, and subsequently on all parts ofthe body to which the medicine is carriedin the blood. Copperas is beneficiallyadministered in all cases where the pow-ers of life are languishing and depressed.It is scarcely entitled to be considered asa vermifuge, though it often prevents theproduction of worms, by arresting an un-due accumulation of mucus, and impart-ing a health tone to the intestines. It isoccasionally used externally as a stypticand astringent, usually in the form ofpowder or solution. By sulphur andcopperas we mean flowers of sulphur andsulphate of iron.—Live Stock Journal.

Making a Few Remarks.Mr. Stone, a well known and excellent

Christian gentleman, belonging to one ofthe Murray Hill churches in New YorkCity, was up in the csuutry in the sum-mer, and learning that an evening prayermeeting was in progress at the villagechurch, walked in and took a seat in theback part of the room. The brother inthe chair conducting the meeting, ob-serving the stranger, left his seat, andooming to Mr. Stone, said to him :

" What is your name ? "" My name- is Stone."" Where are you from ? "" I am from the City of Now York."" Are you one of the Lord's people ? "" I hope that I am," answered Mr. S.,

with becoming humility. The presidinggenius, satisfied with the answers to hiscatechism, returned to his elevated seat,and at the end of a hymn rose and said :

" Will Brother Stone, from New York,favor us with a few remarks ? "

Mr. Stone, willing to do what he could,and having been often told by the N. Y.Observer to do in the country as he wouldin the city, rose and made a few practicalobservations to the best of his ability.No sooner had he sat down than the pro-siding elder rose and said :

" Will Brother Stone, of New York, askthe Lord to bless Ms feeble remarks t "

Undismayed by this commentary onhis speech, Mr. Stone offered prayer, andthe meeting proceeded as usual.—JV. Y.Observer.

The New York Times remarks that theelevation of women is a very excellentaspiration, but let the work begin whereit is most needed, upon the great body ofhard working women, who are barelyable to obtain sustenance from the meansthat are within their reach.

Tho women of Salt Lake City have pe-titioned for a prohibitory law. If a wifeand six children may be made wretchedby a drunken husband, how much greatermust be the aggregate sufferings of sixwives and thirty-six children, all belong-ing to the reckless reveler !

Large accessions to OUT geographical knowledgehave been mode by the indefatigable explorers ofAfviea.

In preparing the present edition for the press,has accordingly been the aim of the editors to brindown the information to the latest possible dates, anto furnish an accurate account ot the most recent diecoveries in science, of every fresh production in literattire, and of the newest inventions in the praeticaarts, as well as to give a succinct and original recortof the progress of political and historical events.

The work has been begun after long and carefupreliminary labor, aud with the most ample resourcetor currying it on to a successful termination.

None of the original stereotype plates have beeused, but every page has been printed on new tjpeforming in fact a new Cyclopaedia, with the samplat and compass as its predecessor, but with a fagreater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggeatecby longer experience and enlarged knowledge.^ The illustrations which are introduced tor the firs

Dr. J. Walker's California Vin-Bglll1 Hitlers jy-e a purely Vegetablepreparation, made chiefly from the nativeherbs found on the lower ranges of the Sier-ra Nevada mountains of California, themeilicinn] properties of which are extract->M] Oierefrotn without the use of Alcohol.The question ia almost daily asked, "Whatis Hie caime of the unparalleled success ofV'ISKGVK BITTEUS?" Our answer is, thatii('\ remove the cause of disease, and tho

patient recovers hia health. They are thegreat blood purifier and a life-giving prin-ciple, a perfect Iienovator and Invigoratorof I he system. Never before in the historyof the world has a medicine been com-ponnded possessing the remarkable qual-ities of VINEGAR BITTERS in healing the sickof every disease man is heir to. They are agentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, reliev-ing Congestion or Inflammation of theLiver aud Visceral Organs, in Bilious Dis-eases.

If men will enjoy cjood health, letthem use VINEGAU BITTKKS ac a medicine,and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulantsiu every form.

Ko Person can take these Bittersaccording to directions, and remain longunwell, provided their bones are not de-stroyed by mineral poison or other means,and vital orpins wasted beyond repair.

Grateful Thousands proclaim VJNE-OAB BITTERS the most wonderful In vigor-ant that ever sustained the sinking system.

Bilious, Remittent, suid Inter-mittent Fevers, which are so prevalentin the valleys of our great rivers through-out the United States, especially those ofthe Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois,Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red,Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,-Pcarl, Ala-bama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James,and many others, with their vast tribu-taries, throughout our entire country dur-ing the Summer and Autumn, and remark-ably so during seasons of unusual heat anddryness, are invariably accompanied by ex-tensive derangements of the stomach audliver, and other abdominal viscei/a. In theirtreatment, a purgative, exerting a powerfulinfluence upon these various organs, isessentially necessary. There is no cathar-tic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKEBSVINEGAB BITTEKS, as they will speedily re-move the dark-colored viscid matter withwhich the bowels are loaded, at the sametime stimulating the secretions of theliver, and generally restoring the healthyfunctions of the digestiva organs.

Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache.Pain in the Shoulders,Coughs,Tight-ness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructa-tions of the Stomach, Bad Taste in theMouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of theHeart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Painin the region of the Kidneys, and a hun-dred other painful symptoms, are the off-springs of Dyspepsia. One bottle willprove a better guarantee of its merits-thana lengthy advertisement.

Scrofula, or King's Evil, "WhiteSwellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas,1 SwelledNeck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec-tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,Sore Eyes, etc., ete. In these, as in allother constitutional Diseases, WALKEB'SVINEGAR BITTERS have shown their greatcurative powers in the most obstinate andintractable cases.

For Inflammatory and ChronicRheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittentand Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of theBlood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, theseBitters have no equal. Such Diseases arecaused by Vitiated. Blood.

Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en-gaged in Paints and Minerals, such asPlumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, andMiners, as they advance in life, are sub-ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guardagainst this, take a dose of A\ALKBK'»VINEGAR BITTERS occasionally.

For Skill Diseases, Eruptions,Tetter,Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms,Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humorsand Diseases of the Skin of whatever nameor nature, are literally dug up and carriedout of the system in a short time by theuse of these Bitters.

Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurk-ing in the system of so many thousands, areeffectually destroyed and removed. Nosystem of medicine, no vermifuges, noanthehninitics, will free the system fromworms like these Bitters.

For Female Complaints, in youngor old, married or single, at the dawn ofwomanhood or the turn of life, these TonioBitters display BO decided an influencethat improvement is soon perceptible.

Jaundice.—In all cases of jaundice,rest assured that your liver is not doing itawork. The only sensible treatment is topromote the secretion of the bile andfavor its removal. Vox this purpose useVINEGAR BITTERS. "

Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when-ever you find its impurities burstingthrough the skin in Pimples, Eruptions,or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob-structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanseit when it is foul; your feelings will tel]you when. Keep the blood pure, and thehealth of the system will follow.
