A SQUASLE occurred about one o'clock this morning at the house of "Ad" Knif-finover back of the Bank, in which

Heman Dawson, Ad. Kniffln and Mrs.

Dawson were the participants. - jW£ un-dentand i t was because Kniffln protested against Dawson, who was intoxicated, making a disturbance and pounding his (D's) wife. Night-watch Hogan was obliged to knock Dawson down with his cane before he could bring him under subjection; Dawson was cooped and this

morning appears before Justice Hunter.

OUR WORTHY P. 31. vents his malic-

iousness at us in the following language: Ho wishes wo were besieged by 50 school children each calling for mail for as many

families, 20 men wanting stamps, half a-dozen with letters to register, and two

mails to be got off in thirty minutes, all of which is to transpire just at hash time. As for us give us liberty or—time

to smoke.

THESE old towns may boast of their

112-year-old orphans, and women who

cansuooessfully carry ou a 200 acre fnrm without any hired help, and all that kind

o' racket, but Lowell is fated to come out ahead yet. That Iowa girl who got mar-ried and divorced in twenty minutes and gave another the mitten 'aint nowhere. The old gentleman came to town Wed-

nesday, got pretty full, and would prob-ably havo been cooped liad not his daughter urged him to go home. Ho

got indignant, wasn't ready, used pro-fane and Jinsulting language, when she stepped to the front, struck out from the

shoulder, and laid him face up on the sidewalk. This put him in readiness and be was packed home instanter. Tliat

Tnawork on the railroad is progrcMting rapidly, and the prospects are highly en-

couraging. Dr. E. W . Dodge speaks in

the most fiaUering terms of the generos-

ity of the fanning community in the in-terests of the railroad. If the farmers in the townehip of Bowne shall be as liberal as their Iwethren in Vergennes, Keene,

South Boston, sod other townships, the

work of grading must surely bo com-menced in a few months at most.

Let every farmer mechanic, merchant and lawyer, and all classes, aid this work

and soon the amount necessary will be raised, and a competing railroad route

opened for Lowell with its immense

wealth. We say to every farmer, as our Stock Solicitor invites hearty co-opera-tion in this work, take hold in this en-

terprise, and let no conflict arise between any of the departments of labor and bus-

iness along the Irnc.

AT the annual church meeting of the Congregational Church, held Thursday evening, the following officers were elect-ed : Deacon, Mr. Horace Hulburd; Clerk,

J . L. Buchanan; Treasurer, Dea. E. Hatch; Chorister, E. A. Sunderlin; S. School Superintendent, Dea. J . S. Wil-

son; Examining Committee, Miss Alma Wood, Miss Katp Buchanan, Mr. Francis King.

LAST week seems to have been a good one for eggs to grow. Mr. Godfrey of Keene brought one in which measured 0

by 8 inches and weighed four ounces; Mr. Hamilton, of Bowne, another meas-

uring 7 by 8J inches. A big boy who

happened in just then manifested a de-

Qje to put himself oil the outside of the

larger one; wo always like to gratify such childish fancies and he was accom-

modated. But he wasn't big enough or

something, and the egg got the vantage,

turned the tables on him, taking the out-

side itself, much to the sad appearance of his shirt front.

DID YOU ever see a man on the street about two minutes after he was woke up by an alarm of fire? We have; he was going down Water street at a dog canter with his overcoat stuffed in his boots and pantaloons strung over his shoulder. I t was Isst Thursday morning and the alarm was a false one.

Wa WERE shown a model of the new stove invented by Messrs. W. W. Hatch and C. S. Fuller, mention of which was made in the JOURNAL a few weeks ago. I t possesses very superior heating capaci-ties, and seemingly must prove a success. Thirteen pipes or flues conduct cold air

from the bottom, through the Interior, and permit it to escape in the room from near the top of the stove, by which pro-

cess it must attain a high degree of tem-

perature. In this way very little fuel will heat a great quantity of air which is retained in the room instead of passing out with the smoke. The model hos been

sent to the Patent Office.

OH the 11th isst., .Mr. N. P. Husted, proprietor of the Grand River Nurseries, made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Husted's assets, which consist chiefly of Nursery |8tock, inven-toried at wholesale cash rates, amount to

about $49,000, while his liabilities foot

up not far from $51,000. After consult-

ing with his creditors, ho made the as-signment as above stated, appointing M.

N. Hine, H. 31. Clark, and C. T. Wood-ing, of this village, assignees. A card

issued by the assignees states that there are no preferred creditors, and that the business will bo continued with the ob-ject of of disposing of the property to

tho best advantage of all creditors. Agents in the field and purchasers gener-ally, may depend upon all orders being promptly filled, on the Fame terms, and

with the same guarantees as under the management of Mr. Husted.

The Assignees will do all in their pow-

er to satisfy creditors. We understand the chief management of affairs at the Nurseries will be under the immediate

supervision of 3ir. Wooding, a thorough and capable business man.

It is to be hoped that aome arrange-ment may be made by which the Grand River Nurseries may be continued in full blast and not be permitted to die out.

Its wide reputation can be sustained and 'Some arrangement can be made to give* it a pcnuanancy that will be profitable.

T H E N E T O w Death of Ex-President Fi l lmore. Kx-rrcmdont Millard Fillniuro wlioiMM I)OM

conthiod to hiu bafl by a Horcro illnoBH for the put few wookb, died at hii home iu Duffdo on March 8th. jA r

Millard Filhnor® watt bom in Cayugftounty, New York, In 1800, and was conHeqnently about 74 yeara of ago at tho timo of kia death. In early life ho did not enjoy oven the ordinary ecbool privilcgen, and it wan only by the moe ndimlriouB effort that be sectireQ tho legal political promiucucc aud resulted in his great popularity with the people of the whole coun try. Ho waa approntioed to a wood-carder in the vicinity of Summer Hill, but pleto Ma' trade/and went to study law in the office of Judge Wood, who appreciated hia nat-ural ability and gave him gratia all the oppor-tunity poeaible to qualify himaelf for the legal profeaeion. Fillmore gladly accepted tho poai-tion, and by teaching obtained aufflcient moana to partially defray hia expenaea and leaaeu tho burden of hia banefac-tor. In 1821 he removed to Erie County, aud began the practice of the law at Buffalo after eeveral years of study, being admitted aa an attorney iu 1827, as a counselor of the State Supreme Court in 1829, and tho aubaequent year ho formed a favorable connection with an experienced member of the bar. IB 1829 he commenced his political career, being elected a member of the lower house of the State Legio lature. At the oloae of tho aeasion he resumed his practice, but wan soon again called upon by the people aud filled all positiouB of trust to the satisfaction cf hia oonatitutente. In 1847 he was chosen Comptroller of the State of New York, and tho following year he received he still higher honor of being elected Vice Preoident of the United States on the Whig ticket with Oen. Taylor at the head. The sud-den death of the latter in July, 1849, made Mr. Fillmore the Chief Magistrato of the nation, When he waa installed the discussion of the slavery question waa at its height, and the re-lations between the North and South were threatening. In his messages he supported tho fugitive slave law and reccommended a protective tariff. Daniel Webster was appointed Secretary of State, which nat-urally otrengthened Fillmore's administra-tion. In, hia last meaaage to Congresa tho Preaident announced tho death of Webster. He retired from the office in 1853, leaving the country at peace within and without and in the enjoyment of a high degree of prosperity. Just previoua to hia nomination for the Vice Preai-dency, Mr. Fillmore had associated with him iu his profession Messrs. Hall and Haven, both of whom became eminent in the legal profession during the existence of the 'firm. The latter died some years ago in Illinois, and the death of Judge Hall waa announced on Monday. Mr. Haven was Poatmaster-Oeneral under Fillmore. Mr. Fillmore visited Europe in 1856, and was received at the principal oourta with the dio-tinction which his character and career claimed for him. It was during his absence from this country that he was run as a candidate for the Presidency by the American party, but he re-ceived a very small minority of votes. On his return he took up hia residence at Buffalo, hia home for thirty years, where he enjoyed among all classes that high consideration to which, by his talente and integrity, he was so Justly en-titled.

Labor Troubles. THE carpenters, painters, track-hands and

freight-house employes of the Erie Railroad were on a strike on March 6th to compel the company to pay alleged back wages due, it is said, since January 1st. The machinists and blaokamitbs were not engaged in the strike. The New York Post says the wages for January were only paid on March 2. The " wipers" in the engine house of this company were cut down from $1.36 to t l per day.

THE weavers in the Camden, N. J., ffoolen milla havo agreed not to return to work until they receive the prices paid before the panic.

THE striking employes of the Philadelphia cotton and woolen mills resolve to hold out for the advance demanded.

FULL time has been resumed at the Union Pacific shops at Omaha.

THE strike on the Lehigh Railroad continues It was inatituted for the purpose of getting an advance of ten cent per day over the wages paid before the panic. No trains are running Mail cara will not run, the company refusing to run them, ttnleaa trains can go with them All aidings between Waverly and Sayre, an filled with cars, brakes set, wheels taken off, and switches spiked.

The Ashantee War DiBPATcuEa have at last arrived from the

gold coaat, fully confirming previous reports of victory, and. the fears which were entertained/or ,the safely of the expedition. The Ashantee' king finally surrendered himaelf into the hapdff O/'tho^riliah troops, and was a prisoner at,Qen.- WplHoley.'s headquarters.

RECENT heavy rains have caused the over-flow of the Missisaippi river at a number of places below Cairo and above Memphis, and some sections of the country are covered for miles by water. Below the latter city the sit-uation is still worse, as the water is only two feet below the great flood cf seven years ago, aud it is feared some of the levees will break, in which case the destruction of property would be immense, and should a crevasse oc-cur below Chicot, Ark., or on the Mississippi sido, tho entire valley would be flooded to Vickaburg, and even below there. All the streams in Arkansas are bank full, and the White river bottom is under water.

A WlldernesH of Doatew—Hetr They Appear A c c r e c a t e l y a n d In D e t a i l .

From Atkinson's Art Tour. Moscow is the best colored city I

know—the finest of all cities when seen in distant perspective, with her thou-sand and one golden domes glittering in the sun against the sky. Cano viewed from the. a tadel , and Constantinople from the tower of Galata, are compara-tively grey and colorless. Moscow when mumined under sunset shines with Oriental splendor; the eye is daz-zled as by a brilliant stage scene, more like enonantment than reality. Not that the oolor i s reflnri.^or in strict harmony; often, indeed, all that can be said is that the painter has used his paint-pot gSherously, that yellow ochres, reds, blue and gdld are laid on thickly. Bu t . anything that may be wanting on the p u t of the artist is sup-plied by the uand of n a t u r e ; time brings fiie harshest of pigments into tone ; atmosphere casts a delicate^ veil over the perspective 'vision; distance in short, lends enchantment. I t often happens in semi-barbaric structures that what the artist intended may be commonplace and coarse, bu t that what he did not intend, that is, unforeseen accidents, or combinations which will out by the i iappy change of circum-stances, proves most effective. Such are the panoramas which arrest the traveler's steps as the eye sweeps over the house-tops, chimneys, tow-ers, trees, guded and many-colored domes which stretch from foreground to horizon. There are cities which the stranger should never enter, there are buildings which the critic can scarcely dare approach.. A i t magnitude and multitude move the imagination. One minaret may be mean, one dome may insignificant, bu t the moment the unit becomes a thousand, and as soon as space sufBciently expands for atmos-phere to suggest magnitude ormyttery, then literal factsgiveplaoe to phantoms, and poems and pictures are wrought out of even the commonest materials. Yet these colored domes, though they float as a thing of beauty between earth and sky, are rather bulbous in character; indeed, sometimes they bore themselves upward and outward as excrescences. The construction, too, is rather grim-crack; in the Kremlin I examined several cupolas under r epa i r ; then the outer covering is removed, ribs, as of an umbrella or of a. lady's crinoline, are laid bare. A make-up thus flimsy and sight admits of more easy adaptation than bricks and mortar to the many varied forms which fancy may suggest. The curves and outlines assumed are graceful, often fantast ic; in some directions the eye seems to look on a number of giant gourds, in others a group of Turks ' turbans may be sug-gested, while the smaller domes may be mistaken for pepper-boxes, decanters,' or castors familiar on the dinner-tables. In short the variety of forms already in existence is all but infinite, and others might readily be invented. Specially grateful is a common type, not larger in diameter than a minaret, bearing a golden dome at its crown. One pretty effect I observed within the Kremlin. The newly wrought cupolas of highly-burnished surface serve as Claude Lorrain mirrors to reflect the moving clouds, the trees and encircling land-scape. I t may well be imagined how gay and glittering a city looks thus set with jewels and shining with patens of bright gold. The colors, too, are scarcely less varied than the forms: besides gold there is silver, often blue and green and red, and sometimes, also a groen ground is set with gold stars; inscriptions with letters of gold may likewise be seen as friezes around towers. So much, indeed, is Moscow a city of colors, that the walls even of ordinary dwellings are illuminated brightly with red and yellow, and the roofs are green. The climax is. of course, reached by the Kremlin, which dominates over the city lying beneath as a church, a palace, and a citadel. This stronghold, tho acropolis of Moscow, is flunked by massive and picturesque towers, surtnounted by rough steep roofs, masked and colored like tho scales of serpents; also over gateways and at angles are many other towers, which group like domes and pointed pinnaclos and goldou crosses into ever-varying panoramas as the spectator makes the circuit of the walls, or ns the sun, traveling from cast to west, alternates light and shade; the scale is sufficiently extented to gain changeful play of atmospheric effect. One of tho towers,that of the " Spaski" gate, was erected by an Englishman, ChriHtopher Galloway, in 162G. The

Trol tski" tower was also built by him. While the basements are heavy and gloomy, after the Oriental fashion, tho upper stories, or sky outlines in

" Barney Aaron waa riding down town on a Fif th Avenue car yesterday evening. Mr. Aaron is well known in sportingcircles as a pugilist of the first closs. He is small' in stature, but his science is something- wonderful. On the rear platform was Rev. Henry Thorpe, of Pittsburg, an elderly clergy-man. Barney and tho clergyman got into conversation, and after talking a little while, separated, one being on the opposite side of the platform to the other. At Eighteenth street two noted pickpockets, James Henry and William Jackson, got on the car. They are res-idents of tho Fifteenth ward, and knew Mr. Aaron. They did not think he would interfere with them, and so pro-ceeded to rob the clergyman. Jackson drowsied him against the car-door, and Henry took his gold watch. They had not calculated an any interference, and were sadly disappointed when Mr. Aaron exercised his .science on them with startling results. Mr. Jackson received a slight testimonial of Mr. Aaron's es-teem iu the jaw, which tumbled him over the dashboard into the street. Mr. Henry attempted a feeble resistance, but V to no purpose. Mr. Aaron took the r watch which had been wrung fronl Henry's hand, and by a manual application sent Henry to Join Jackson. After arranging his dis-turbed sealskin coat, Mr. Aaron handed the recovered Watch to the Rev. Mr. Thorpe, remarking., "Herp's your "super" old man. ^ t y o u M v K stand on a car platform ag^UK i f loVie the worst old sucker rva ja ie t i

I t was upon the question of giving CoL Burr the franking privilege for life. Burr was himself to put the vote in the Senate, as Yice-President, and nobody had ventured to say to his face what h is real opinion was. At last, just aa the question was about to be put , Mr. Pick-ering rose. Burr recognized him—" the Senator from Massachusetts"—and sank back into his s e a t Their eyes m e t ; neither quailed. The Senate waa awed into breathless ailenoe. Col. Pickering spoke as follows : " Mr. President, : Who. sir, are the dangerous men in this republic ? Not those who have reached^ the summit of place and power, for their ambition is satisfied. 1 tell you, sir, who are dangerous men. Those who have ascended to the last round but one on the political ladder, and whose vault-ing ambition will never be satisfied un-til they have stood upon the topmost round. Sir, I vote against this bill." The bill did not pass.

MilU and MHk-Rooma. In your last number I notice some

observations on the treatment of milk and the manufacture of butter, in which vou state that the principal benefit of the spring-house is the low degree of temperature which i t secures. And if i t were possible to secure the tempera-wire without the water it would be bet-

Xer to dispense with"it, as the tnflk-riibm Y'ould be considerably dryer. I will not pretend to set up my opinion against yours, but i t appears to me that right here some questions are raised which it will be profitable for us to con-sider, and of which I shall not attempt the discussion myself. I trust you will accord me suffiaJent space to cutliiie them fur lite, exaounation of you r moro experienced correspondents. Now, it may be said in favor of a dry milk-room, that the atmosphere contains the minute germii of mynad forms of the lower order of vegetable life known as fungi, which, by their introduction and germination in the milk, greatly has-tens various chemical changes, and, finallyi i t s . decomposition; and it is highly probable that in these varioua stages' some effect is imparted to the

1 quality of the product w^ich may be jamade from the milk. One'6f the con-

ditions necessary to the germination, a u l in many csaea essential to the pres-ervation i d t ftny great length of time of their vitality, is moisture. As a means of guarding the milk from their m-fiuence, the dryer the milk-room the better.

At this period of the oolt's existence an important dental change is going on.

If the colt is at grass it is almost isipossible for i t to graze, and it solfers partial stffihfction. This is the whole secret of many a colt's suffer-ings. The trouble in such cases would be avoided by occasionally examining the mouth, and when the temporary absence of the nippers is observed, to

i t e l l ev ing Choked C a t t l e . •

1 was away from home. My wife and boy were feeding the cows, and one of them got 'Cho|ted> . with a turnip. My wife sent for :lhe neighbors, and they came to relieve the oow. One got her by the horns, and another poked a stick down her throat, and unfortunately i t

as a pine stick. They drove the tui^ nip down but broke the stick off in her throat ; and the last choke wos worse than the first. Then they put a clevis in her month and could feel the stick run into the back of her head. Some advised my wife to kill her, but she said 'that she would not until I came home.

I arrived at home at seven in the eve-ning. The stick was broken in her throat a t eleven o'clock in the morning. I went immediately to the yard to see the cow, and found the stick in her throat. I got her by the horns to turn her around and she fell on a patch of ioe, and the|i went straight far the barn and threw out the stick, which measur* ed twenty-one and one-half inches in length and one inch in diameter; ana then I could see that there were other ways to Telieve theia without sticks and ropes. The next cow that got choked I thought I would try an experiment with. I had a pair of bars leading to my barn-yard. I took the top bars down and left three lower bars m. and I took the whip and made the oow jump over the bars, and she was relieved. That is the way I relieve all my choked cattle and horses, and I never know it to fail. Sometimes Iv j u m p them over twice, and I find that uie action of ris-ing and the sudden drop on the front legs dislodges what ia in t^ie throat, and no injury is done to the cattle. A woman or boy in this way can relieve n choked cow or horse if the man is f rom home.

Vmannre by saving those within his reach, uki is useless to recommend converting jrnem into home-made superphosphate fby using sulphuric acid; the difficulty and trouble of procuring tho acid away from cities, and the care and experience required to use it, are sufficient objec-tions. There are, however, two modes of reducing the bones, which every gar-dener may easily adopt. One 'is to place them in thin layers in a ferment-ing heap of manure, which, if they are previously broken, will soften them enough to cause crumbling after the lapse of weeks, when the heap is worked over. Even a common hot-bed will do, if tho bones are first broken into frag-ments. Tho other mode is to boil them, its follows: Mix them in a large kettle (with wood ashes, and to make tho ashes

4auntie add about a peck of fresh lime pencil barrel of bones. Saturate aud

amdy heat for twenty-four hours, or dnring tho day for two successive days. All the bones by this time, except the very hardest pans , will be so reduced as to be easily pulverized, being in a

fiasty condition, suitable for placing in uyers in making the compost heap.

Another day's boiling will reduce the remainder of the hard bones.

Pigeon weed, red root or Gromwell (Lilhospcrmum urvensc), often oulfed pigeon weed from the supposition that

Eiigrating pigeons havo dropped the eeds in their fiights, has of late years

TondsKaltng Bees.

A Mibsouri correspondent writes the Bee Keepers' Magazine: I have read that toads do little or no damage to the bee-keepers. But I lately found sev-eral on the front board of my hives, and one I watched, and within fifteen min-utes saw him eat four Italians and two flies; then I executed and dissected him, and found his stomach perfectly crammed with Italian workers. This was a very small toad, and I suppose could not have had less than twelve bees in his stomach. A toad twice as large wnuld likely eat twenty-four bees, and three meals ' a day (I think I am right) makes seventy-two bees for one toad in a day, anil a small family of four would make away with 288 bees a day. Pretty still". Perhaps my calculation may bo too high about his three meals a day, but I am certain that when a toad finds how easy it is to get his meals at the entrance of a bee-hive, lie won't look for bugs and worms. But tiio most serious tiling they can do is to gobble up tho young queens returning home from their bridal trip. Let those who have hives near the ground look out for toads.

The sulphate of acid combines with the potash of the soap, and the oxide of iron is precipitated with the fatty acid as insoluble iron soap. This is washed and dried, aud mixed with linseed oil. The addition of dissolved india rubber to the oil improves the paint.

To CLEAN CASHMERE.—If the ordina-ry soap is employed, the valuable shawla and fabrics of cashmere will be increas-ed and spoiled by the alkali it contains, and it will leave theiiii, at any rate, much IOM pliable and velvety than t he r are when cleaned after the mauner ox the Turks and Persians^ who make use of a root which affords an Abundant mucil-age whon heated with water. M. Jau-bert, who brought into France several goats from Thibet, rIso imported from Asia, under the name of ishkar, a quan-tity of this soapy root. I t is usually as large as the thumb, qf .a grayjsh yellow coIofi'Vliite 'witliin, free, from, smell, almost tasteless, and affording an ash-colored powder. Whenraixed with wa-

In Paris in such an emergency there is always some poor gentleman in the neighborhood—a professional quator-zieme—ready at a moment's notice to appear in the coHtume do rigueur. I n Washington, however, the " Worthing-ton" who should reply upon such a windfall would find subsistence precari-ous. . In tliii embormsment worthy Jphn

Welcker, remarking that in olden time landlords presided at their own tables, volunteered to fill the hiatus valde dc-

'flendus, and harmony was restored. I t was apropos of this that Uncle Samuel related the following story :

In February 1840, the Paris morning papers mentioned that a noted horti-ciuturil t had, succeeded"" in growing three n^iguifioent peaches—a phohome-non which attracted the attention of the late Baron Rothschild. The great millionaire, familiar with the value of tho stocks, pictures, china, and jewels, had no idea of that of peaches in Feb-ruary ; besides, ho was addicted to gid-) an try, with a liberality worthy of a spendthrift; So he drove to the hot house, and sure enough there the

coiomi powuer. wnenmixeu witn wa- peaches hung, blushing Like the cheeks ter, it becomes very Uuok, yellowish of dancing maidens, upon, the espalier, mucilage. With this paste the beauti- — . . . . rr .... . ful staffs of the East are cleansed, and

from the air, which new skin ; to become tender

and delicate. Oatmeal paste is as efll-caious as any thing, though less agreea-ble than paste maae vKth the white of an egg, alum and rose water. The alum astrmges the fiesh and makes i t finn, while the egg keeps it sufficiently soft, and the rose water perfumes tha mix-ture aud makes the curd not so hard.

Currency In Civilized Countries. Waehlngton Corresijondeuee of the N. Y. Unrald.

In consequence of frequent applica-tions to the Chief of the Bureau of Sta-tistics for information in regard to the amount qf circulating medium in Great Britain, ' France, and other European countries, and of the wide divergence of statement on the part of European as well as American financiers, an exam-ination has been made of the published officiid statistics, and a variety of author-ities on the subject consulted, with a view to obtaining approximately accu-rate data. The results of this inves-tigation havo been prepared, from which it appears that the total amount of gold coin circulating in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland at the close of 1872 was £81,551,000 sterling, silver £15,000,000, bronze £1,148,000; excess of banknotes over coin reserves, £40,540,000; total circu-lation in coin and notes, £141,239,:)00, being equivalent in United States gold coin to 3080,421,540. The metallic cur-rency, coin and bullion of France is giv-en at 4,000,000,000 francs; notes of the Bank of France in circulation on De-cember 20, 1878, 2,807,089,025 francs; total, 0,807,089,025 francs. Deduct metallic reserve in bank December 28, 759,902,419 francs, and the currency circulation is 0,047,727,290 francs, equivalent in United States gold coin at 20 cents to the franc to 81,209,545,47. In the 22 states composing tho North German Confederation the supposed aggregate of coin is 032,485,302 tnalers. The coin held in reserve by tho bunks

protect their note circulation is 100,-000,000 thalers, leaving in the hands of the people 532,435,802 thalers. The notes in the hands of the people amount to 253,159,142 thalers, making coin and notes in the hands of tlie people, 785,-594,50-1 tinders, equivalent in United States gold coin to $557,772,098. The German government within the hist two years lias coined about 331,000,000 tha-lers in gold.

A CITIZEN of Charlestown, South Car-olina, wrote a letter recently to Edwin Booth, proposing to engage him for six nights at the Academy of Music in that city, at any timo before the 1st of April, paying him for tho services of himself and company 85,000 for the six nights. Mr. Booth replied that his engagements in the West extend beyond the timo designated, and besides that he stands pledged to Manager John T. Ford not to go south except under his manage-ment.

AN old writer says : 4 ' Reade not bookes alone, but men; and amongst them hiefiy thyself ; if thou find anything

questionable there, use the connnentary of a severe friende rather than the gloss of a sweet-lipt flatterer ; there is more profit in a distasteful truth, than

or fifteen drops of liquid silicate o t ' deceitful sweetness."

"How much for the three J" inquired the Baron.

" Two hundred franca." "Are they ripe ?" " You see they are, by their color." "Are they sweet ?" "You can judge for yourself," said

tlie gardener, at the same time pulling one of the peaches from the tree, divid-ing it, offering one-half to the Baron and eating the other himself with mani-fest gusto.

Effectively said the Baron. " The flavor is marvellous for Februarv, and how much for the remainihg two V'

" Two hundred francs." Noblesse oblige. The Baron was done

for, aud paid tlie money, while the gar-dener's eyes twinkled with delight at having obtained his price aud half a peach in the bargain.

"So , gentlemen," said Uncle Samuel, " though our host be our guest, his reckoning, like that of the horticultur-ist, will be all the same."

Trousers for Ladies.

Long white trousers for ladies are very much worn on the Continent. These trousers should be quite plain for wearing in tho day-time and in the street; but those for evening wear should be made of flue embroidery, lace insertion, or heavy rich lace fnlla or flounces, according to the taste and means of the lady herself. What could look prettier, or moro modest, than to see a pretty, small trousered foot in silk stockings and a neat sandaled shoe, ap-pearing under the skirt of a muslm dress, the ankles buried, as it were, in several rows of the lace fri l ls or flounces of fine cambric or muilin trousers? Surely, also, when a young lady of eighteen or nineteen is dancing, it is more modest, as it is certainly very be-coming, to see the limbs hidden in lace-frilled trousers of cambric than in the present fashion. As I said, this mode is very much seen on the Continent, among French, Spaniards, and espe-cially Russians. When at Barcelona, a few years ago, I remarked that every lady wore trousers, some plain, some richly trimmed with lace frills or flounces. Two or four inches of the trousers were visible, setting off the small Spanish foot to perfection. I knew a pretty French lady who used to wear most becoming trousers in the evening, which were made oi very fine cambric, with rich lace frills up to the calf of her leg, and insertion betwccu each frill. The lace frills of her trous-ers just touched the instep, but the rest of her trousers were ]ust visible under and through the transparent skirt of white muslin.—Jlnylixli Maga-zine.

Boot and Shoe Trade. Of the boot and shoe trade in Troy

the Times says : " Work haa been to a great extent stagnant during the past winter, and not half the usual number of hands havo been employed. Not-withstunding this, the trade has been only a little less than it was for the cor-responding time last year. People must walk and wear out boots and shoes, and there must of necessity be about the usual number of purchases and sales. The slackness in shops is accounted for by the fact that dealers have been dis-posing of stock on hand, cutting it down as much as possible, and purchasing by wholesale, when necessary, rather than manufacturing themselves. Prices have been materially reduced, except on cloth goods. Manufacturers assert that leather goods are down as low as possi-ble now. Money is still rather stringent, and not many collections will be made this month. The sides of one wholesale firm in this city were only 810 less than for the correspondng month last year. Panic or no panic,i tho business would have been dull through the winter, and the prospects are just as fiattering now for a good trade when spring opens as they were last year."

GEOBGIA thieves are growing terribly audacious, and several instances are re-lated of their prompt action in relation to valuables. A day or two ago a man rang tlie bell at a house in Griffin, seiz ed the lady who answered it, coolly dis-possessed her of diamond earrings and other jewelry, and, after lighting a ci-g p in her presence, deliberately walk-c n und has not been seen since.

The Legislature is making good progresii but I Rometimes think t(all this availeth nought." The proposed amendments to the Gonstitation, pre*

pared by the Commission, have been literally lipped up. Very few sections olf the instrument will coroe out as the Commission reported. While some, and prehaps many, changes have been made for the better, it is I think, to be regretted that certain sections wbloh have been altered or rejected, were nut allowed to remain untouched. Among these I may mention the question relative

to

LIGHTS AND SHADES.

I t was the brightest, cosiest little room in New York ! cheerful with the merry gleam oliire-light, and t h e chim-ing tick of a miisical clock, and the half-uttered twitter of the gold-plum-aged carary, whp waa composing him-Belf to sleep in his cage among the ge-raniums—the very sort of room which the wearied business man wofald long to call Aome—always provided there was a sunshiny little heart somewhere about, to set. all the household ma-ehinery going harmoniously

Yet there wasn't an expensive article there—no rosewood chairs, cushioned in satin—no mahichite stands, or mo-saic nigSj Oi uufllj agate vases-f-oMy a neat, little mahqgany tea-table all set with plain bkMNiire, as shining as the most transparent of gold-veined whiwa. could be, andjjik. sober-pattern carpet, which seemed to aay, " I know I'm not velvet —I make 'no pretence—but here I am, and I mean to be as serviceable as possible !" l ye ry th ing else was just as neat and as plain: and if there had been one solitary grain of dust any-where within the four walls, it must have pined away and evaporated out of sheer loneliness!

Little Mrs. Wilford flitted busily around in her snug domains, now placing her husband's slippers where they could warm nicely, wondering parenthetically, why he 'didn ' t come; now setting a t iny bouquet of roses and geranium leaves m a sinall vase in the center of the tea-table—now pulling an oblique corner of the snowy cloth into line-plummet-exactitude, and now lis-tening, with her pretty •petite head

and tlie common painted waiter^ that he felt at once that he was in the at-mosphere of home!

H e never missed the silver urn, or the gold-banded china of his own state-

never noticed that his feet did among tbe velvet crimson

of hfe own Wihon carpet ; nor perceived the wide difference between Amy's linen collar and shilling delaine, and the Honitons nnd brocade that his fashionable helpmate wore; but he knew there was some charm here which was lacking at his own hearth-stone.

I t was a genuine old-fashioned " t e a " —hot biscuits, amber preserves, deli-cate pink shading of dried beef, and cake that would make even a dyspeptic smack his lips. Maynard could not help complimenting the edibles. He didn't get any such at his restaurant where he lunched, and his wife's Irish kitchen corps had an altogether dif-ferent idea of things.

" O h l " said Amy, laughing, " I made them myself."

" D i d y o u ? ' He looked at her half amused. " I did not know ladies ever employed themselves now-a-days."

" l a m a capital cook," said Amy. We are obliged to study economy some-what, and so I am my own housemaid."

" Then you don't belong to the rose-leaf sort of ladies, who think it horrible to touch their white fingers to cooking utensil ?"

" No,' indeed!" ahe said, opening her blue dyes in astoauftmenft. " I t keeps me healthy and happv; and as Charles has to work hard in the store all day, it is onlv fair that I should do my part ."

" M a n y are foolish enough to think such things below them," he said, with almost a sigh.

" I don't ," said she, smiling, " I think nothing below me that helps to make my husband happier, or to bright-en my home."

I t was a simple little saying, but Maynard pondered on it long. Was it the secret of household bliss ?

H e looked at her little ctargc of well-selected books—the guitar and pile of music in the comer—the exquisite drawings hanging on the wall, which Milford proudly told him were Amy's own—the pine cone temples and moss b&skets, aud little womanly trifles she had amused herself with—the bits of embroidery—the stand of geraniums and helitrope—even the piled-up work-basket—and thought within himself

" I can't," she sai; ont of practice en

beyond, the white apron exchanged for a tinier one of black silk, and sat down by the table to work, every now and then joining in the converse with a zest that seemed the life and spirit of the whole. How proud Wilford was of h e r ! How he appealed to her judg-ment on every occasion! and how fond-ly his eyes rested on her blooming face!

She wasn't doing crochet work; she wasn't embroidering web-like muslin; she was jubt darning her husband's stockings; and as the shining needle gleamed in and out among the interlac-ing warp and woof, Maynard thought he had never seen a prettier or more graceful employment.

For Amy brought a spirit and soul to her homely work that would have made the coarsest fabric bright with the tint of Persian looms.

And when at his leave, the reflection py fellow Wilford i s l " was accom-panied with something very like a sigh. His home was different, far.

He breakfasted alone next morning— his wife had been out late at a ball nnd seldom rose before eleven o'clock. The coffee was cold and muddy, even iu the frosted silver urn; the toast was burn-ed, the steak sodden and raw; the fire smouldered away under its accumula-tions of ashes, and he read the morning paper alone, with no bright face oppo-site to share his interest in each para-

" Couldn't you let them go for one evening?"

" 0 , no 1 it would never d o ! " He was silent—but there was a dull,

dead pain at his heart—some void which art could never fill.

The silent dinner was over; she went forth in her shining robes, with pearls in her hair, and bracelets clasping her arms, to an evening of reckless dissipa-tion and gaiety, with smiles for the beau mor.de but none for home.

While Raymond after a long and gloomy reverie by his lonely fireside, took m s hat and went away to the club, that brilliant place of gaiety and mirth, through whose chandeliered portals so many a foot has trod the broad path of destruction! Poor man he nad no home.

A Remarkable Trio.

ipo] the Hartford Post (probably Minister Jewell) thus speaks of the late royal marriage in Russia.

" T h e most striking trio of all were the three Princesses—one the fu ture

ueen of England, another her sister,, fu tu re Empress of Russia, and the

third the sister-in-law of the first—the future Empress of Germany. The faoes of all three expressed gentleness, intelligenoe and refinement. The Grand Duchess Marie wore a dress of silver heavily embroidered, and from her shoulders hung a train of claret-colored velvet, lined and edged with ermine. On her head was a tiara and a small crown of diamonds, from which hung a point lace veil : on her neck the largest diamond necklace in Russia, composed of large perfect diamonds, each with a large mop attached, the whole valued at twenty millions of dol-lars. The front of her waist was cover-ed with diamonds, and down the front of her dress were rows of pearls. Tlie bridegroom wore the uniform of a Rus-sian officer. The dress and train of the Empress were of gold cloth, her tiara and jewels, sapphires and diamonds. The Crown Princesses wore velvet trains embroidered in gold, and their jewels were only surpassed by those of the bride."

A Novel torpedo.

Torpedo experiments still continue at the Royal Arsenal, but are a t present confined to Whitehead's fish torpedo. Tlus is made of steel, ia about eight feet long, eighteen inches in diameter at the centre, and tapers off to a point at each end ; at the tail end there is a three-bladed screw propeller, worked by an engine inside the bo4y, and a four-bladed rudder to steer i t in the direction it is intended to go. I t is constructed in three pa r t s ; the head contains the rocket, which being charg-ed with gun cotton when required for actual service, is fired by oonenssion with the enemy's ship, and intended to blow up the vessel. The tail end is a chamber which holds the compressed air to work the engines, and in the middle portion is plaoed the engine, with a pair of cylinders. These torpe-does are subjected to the test of 1,200 pounds pressure to the square inch be-fore they are pronounced safe for use. Notwithstandingthis precaution, one of them recently exploded while being ex-perimented with a t the arsenal, inflict-ing the most destructive results to pro-perty and loss of life. The torpedoes are intended to be discharged from a tube in the bow of the ship, and are expelled by means of a piston, at the rate of ten miles an hour in a straight hue for the object sought to be de-stroyed.

Tlie Hartford Times prints the foliow-ing extraordinary stoiv, for tho t ruth of which it vouches: " Mif JAhn Eis-wirth, a resident of this city, is a Ger-man by birth. He came lb this coun try in 1848, bringing his wife with him. They had lieen here abotit a year When they received a letter statiilg that the brother of Mrs. Eiswirth was on his way to America, bnt from that time to this they have never seen their relative. Up to the time of the war they expect-ed he would turn up some t ime; but when the unhappy civil strife swept over the land, ana peace came again, and yet no tidings of the missing man, he was mourned as lost, and as the years rolled by, if not actually forgot-ten, his fate was a mystery which i t was thought never would be explained. And now comes a singular occurrence in connection with the case. About three weeks ago Mr. Eiswirth had a dream. He thought he was seated in a car at the depot on Asylum street. He didn't want to ao anywhere, but in spite of this feeling he was rolled out of the depot and whirled away at lightning speed. Post villages, town and cities; through valleys, over rivers and plains —on 1 with a rush and a roar, stopping for nothing and heeding .nothing. I t seemed to the dreamer that he was be-ing carried, much against his will, thou-sands of miles from home. Why i t was so lie hhd not the faintest conception. He was under a mysterious influence that chained him to'his seat and made him a slave of its power. At last the train slackened its speed and came to a halt, and John found, himself < moving along with the passengers who were making their exit from the cars. When once outside he discovered, that he was in a strange city and among strangers. He asked a man where he was. H e was told 'St. L o u i a ' 'Ru t , ' says John, ' I live in Hartford. I want nothing in St. Louis.' The stranger smiled and passed on, leaving pur. Hartford friend as perplexed as e w . while standing in his tracks, wondering what to do, he saw at a distance u figure which sent a thrill of ioy through his frame. I t was his long-lost brother-in-law. It had been more than a quarter of a century since John had set eyes on him, and time had worked a great change in his appear-ance ; but for all that our friend recog-nized him, and ran toward him halloo-ing at the top of his voice, as if afraid he might disappear. The meeting was a cordial one, and the pair celebrated the event at a stylish saloon where foam-ing mugs of lager played a prominent part. The next John . knew bq found himself awake at his home on Park street. But his dream had made a strong impression, and do what he woula he could not forget it. I t haunt-ed him all that day, and when he got up the next morning the remembrance of that long ride and the happy'meet-

1 ing clung to him still. That very day some clerk in Hartford postoffice might have seen a letter addressed to Mr. , of St. Louis, with the instruction on the end of the envelope, ' If not called for within ten days, return to John Eiswirth, Hartford, Conn.' Mr. Eiswirth says that he sent the letter addressed to his brother-in-law without the re-motest expectation of hearing from him. He sent it to relieve his mind, as he confesses that the Hingolar dream harrassedhim not a little. B u t after lhe missive was sent "he dismissed the matter from his mind, and might never have thought of it again if something startling had not occurred a day or two since. John was at home with his family when the postman came to the door and delivered a letter. I t was postmarked St. Louis. I t was torn open with tremulous fingers, and to their great joy it was found to be from thei long-lost relative in answer to the let-ter which John had forwarded in obedi-ence to his dream, Li a large city like St. Louis it would seem that a letter

might not WM course the chances are that it would go straight to

j the mark, as it did in this case. I t ap-peared bv tho letter that the St. Louis German had been as much in the fog as

| to his sister's and Eiswirth's where-abouts as they have been in regard to him. The St. Louis man writes that he shall soon come to this city on a visit, and his Hartford friends are de-lighted at the prospect of a happy union. When he does come John pro-poses that what he dreamed about the lager shall also become a reality."

An Engineer's First Victim. Laat summer, the engine run by

William Baird, of the lightning express on the Hudson River Railroad, struck a drunken man who was sitting on the trestle bridge at Plum Point, and killed him instantly. At the inquest, the day after, the engineer told the writer that exactly a year before on that very day he had " struck his first man " some-where just beyond Yonkers. Said he : " I was running the ' l ightning ' then, and was making lively time past Yonk-ers, when I saw a young fellow with a

H e jumped, bu t it was too late; and I saw him throw np his hands—I even heard him shriek—as the pilot struck him. I sat up that night and thought about that poor fellow, no use trying to sleep with that on my mind. The next morn-ing I saw him laid out at the depot, all torn and mangled, but his face wasn't touched at all, and after I took a look at him I saw that face night and day for about six months every minute I was on my engine. I shut my eyes when I passed tlie place where I struck him. I managed to get another engine; I did everything, but all the time,

a t night, in the glare of mi especially a t nignt, in tne glare ol my head-light, I saw that pale, thin, blind face, I saw the hands thrown up, and. 1 heard the poor fellow scream when the 'p i lot ' seemed to strike him."

A SECOND FATHBB MATTHEW.—Who i s there that does not respect the memory of Father Matthew, tlie great champion of temperance ? Innumerable societies bear his honored name; but there i s one man who has struck a more sure death-blow to intemperance, and that man is DR. J . WALKER, an old Caliiror-nia physician, who has discovered in "na tu re ' s meek and lowly herbs," a medicinal " t o n i c " and gentle stimu-lant that completely takes the place of the fashionable alcoholic poisons called " tonics," so popular as a compromise between strong drink and cold water, and does away with the mania for drink, and in reality cultivates an involuntary disgust for the same. I t even does more: I t acts upon the entire physical system, purifies the blood, and pro-duces hale, hardy health. The discov-erer of this great medicinal stimulant is surely entitled to the thanks of a whole nation, and it is not extravagant to entitle him " a second Father thew."—Com.
