It is a fact- established by* science that many diseases are introduced by purification, which reproduces itself and propogates the disease in ever widening circles.

These diseases gener­ate contagion and fill the air with'death* Such is that dread Terror,

Asiatic Cholera,which is now devastating the East and advancing on its m ission'of death r a p id ly towards our shores. Other diseases o f the same sort are I)lp- theria, Typhoid JTer*r9 Scarlet EeverySmall P ox Jfeasles, Yellow Xcvcr, Erysipelas, etc. All these generate contagion. Oth­er diseases^Irevcr and AffitCi Malarial Fever,etc.,nrise from contagion which comes o f damp­ness, unhealthy situa­tions ornncleamiess.

Its exposure in a Sale­room, Cellar, Closet, or StahlepuriRos the atmos­phere and drives away the <*erms o f disease and death.

Taken infernally it pu­rifies the Stomach, giv­ing it tone and healthy vigor. It is thus that it cures Indigestion and Dyspepsia.

When vsed as a lo tion it destroys all Freckle and Blotch - producing germs, leaving the skin clear* white and transpa­rent ns that o f a little

p r o v id e n t ia l " pig s .“Oh, missus, missus! SomeSn’s dune

happened.”Bhinlc horror and dismay were de­

picted upon the face of my small A fri­can, as she stood upon my threshold witii upraised hands and eyeballs that seemed starting flora their sockets. Her pause was one of preparation, for witii the innate consideration of her race she sought to break the news gen­tle to me, but the burden of it was too great for her, and with the next breath she exclaimed :

“Dem pigs done chawed up Miss Lyddy’s weddin’ gown!”

“Glory,” I exclaimed (she had been piously christened Gloriana), “Glory, how did it happen ?”

Dunno!” said Glory. “Pears to me dem pigs has got Satan in ’em. Guess dey’s ’scended from de ole lot what run down a steep place into the sea. -I’ll go an’ fetch ye a piece.”

She sped out and instantly returned with a tattered shred of India mull that had once been white, and still bore some resemblance of a gown. Poor Miss Lyddy! This was all that remained of her dream of wedding splendors. It was too pitiful! I felt at once that the bonds of good neigh­borhood had been irretrievably broken, and that Major Hawthorne must be made aware of this last and worst dep­redation of his unseemly pigs.

But who would break the news to Miss Lyddy?

"Glory,” said I, “ where is she?”“Gone over to the buryin’ place oh

her oncestors,” answered Glory.Poor, faithful soul; even in those

last days of her maidenhood, with the vague terrors of matrimony and the still more appalling responsibilities of unsaved souls banging over lier, she did not forget the ancestors. Long line of Ludkinses lay buried in the sunken hillocks in the family burying place, which is just in sight of her-sitting-^ room window. She was the last o f ' her race, and until three weeks it had seemed that the only fate which await­ed her was to live out her little space under the ancestral roof-tree, and then take her place in the silent ranks of those who had gone before. But a change had come. It came in the per­son of a returned missionary from the Micronesian Island, who had buried the first and second partners of his joys and sorrows somewhere under the palm trees of those tropical lands and had come hack to the scene of his youth to recruit bis health, serve his cause, and look up partner Ho. 3.

He met Miss Lyddy at a woman’s missionary meeting. He called the next afternoon and was invited to stay to tea. He acci pted the invitation, and next morning Miss Lyddy came into my room—for I, too, domiciled under the Ludkins ruof-tree,for a con­sideration—and with much hesitation and many faint and delicate blushes, informed me that she had promised to share the future lot of the Rev. Hehe- miah Applebloom, to take care of his children, and to support him in his arduous labors among the heathen of the Micronesian Islands.

I was struck dumb with amazement. “Miss Lyddy,” I said at length, “have

you considered this project?”Her thin figure quivered, and her

white face, that had a delicate remem­brance of youth in it,grew tender with feeling. _ -

“Yes,” she said, “I think X have.* I have always had a presentiment that 1 should have a missionary.” Admira­ble and prophetic faith, “And Mr. Applebloom says he knew the moment he set eyes upon me that I was ordain­ed to he his wife; so you see that it is not the surprise to either of us that it is likely to be to our friends.”

I knew that her mind was fully made up. I demurred no longer, but lent myself at once to discussion o f the wedding, which I plainly saw was what Miss Lyddy desired of me.

“You will be married in church, I suppose?”

“Ho, no,” said Miss Lyddy, with ge- tle decision, “I am the last of the Ludkinses. A ll the Ludkinses have been married at home. I will not go out from under my own roof-tree. I f I seem to forsake the ancestors”—and she paused to regulate a little choking in her throat—“I will at least not for­sake their traditions. I shall leave a little money with the parish clerk, that he may see that the graves o f my dead are kept in proper order, as I always have loved to keep them, and 1 hope they will forgive my departure; hut I will at least go as a Ludkins should. It is my desire to be married in my grandmother’s wedding gown.”

Miss Lyddy’s voice trembled, and there was a humidity in her eyes, at which I did not wonder, for it was much like a funeral, after all.

“I thought, perhaps,” went on Miss Lyddy, “if I brought the venerated xelic to you you would tell me if any thing were necessary to be done to fit it to me. I don’t care for the fashions, you know, and my grandmother, as I remember her, was about my heighth, but still, you know—something—some changes might he advisable.” •

“ Certainly,” I said, “do bring it to me. I should so like to see it.”

“It is sprigged India (she called it Ingy) mull. My grandfather, Captain Simon Ludkins, brought it home from over the seas. I ’ll bring it.”

Like some pale and gentle ghost she rose then and went to the bureau draw and unrolled from tolls o f linen that smelt, of lavender, the frail relic o f Mrs. Captain Simon Ludkins’ wed­ding state. It was fine embroidered mull, the undoubted product o f Indian looms.

“It is lovely,” said I, “ and so well kept that i t will be just the thing for you. Will yon trv it on? W e can tell then just* what it needs.”

Miss Lyddy proceeded to disrobe herself and put on the spider-net gown. As she did so thexlianges in fashion’s mandates became only too evident. It

■ had no Waist to speak of, and just a 1 little lace-trimmed puff for sleeves.

Miss Lyddy was evidently surprised. She had not thought o f this. I knew well what the troubled look upon her face meant, and I pittied her maiden sensibilities. Could it he possible that her grandmother, Mrs, Captain Simon Ludkins, had ever worn such a gown as this? She said not a word that could indicate the depth of her morti­fication, hut her face was a study for an artist. ■

“ There must be sleeves,” she mur­mured, .after a few moments of silence and contemplation.

“Yes,” I replied, cheerfully as my constrained gravity would allow. “And you might have a fichu and a flounce on the bottom.”

She looked down. She had not be­fore realized that the skirt of the ven­erated relic lacked a full quarter of a yard of touching the floor.

“However could they ?” she ejaculat­ed in an undertone- But she quickly recovered herself and looked up to me cheerfully over her spectacles.

“How ingenious you are!” she said, with an air of sweet relief. “I knew you would help me out.”

W e went out together and bought the requisite mull that day, and when we came to put it beside the “ venerat­ed relic” of Mrs. Captain Ludkins it was evident that time had so enriched the .color of the latter that the two were most unfortunately unlike.

“ We can lay it out on the grass,” I said; “ these June days are just the thing for it, and as it will be evening, nobody will in the least notice.”

Again Miss Lyddy smiled gratefully, and declared that my suggestion should he carried out in the most faithful manner.

“Rev. ISTehemiah Applebloom. A lovely name, don’t you think so?” said Miss Lyddy, and she blushed and smiled like a school-girl in her teens— had hut a short furlough, and the mar­riage was to transpire the next week, so the relic was put out to bleach forth­with. It had been put upon the grass three days and nights, and had been re­ligiously watered by Miss Lyddy at morn and noon and dewy eve, and the next day it was to be taken up early and put into the dress-maker’s hands for the necessary alterations, when the dreadful event occurred with Which this narrative opens.

“ Glory,” I said, “do keep watch for Miss Lyddy when she returns. Say nothing about what has happened un­less she misses the gown from tlife grass. In that case tell her I thought it was bleached enough and took it up to dry, and you don’t know where I have put it. I am going out now, hut if she asks where, tell her you don’t know.”

Glory was faithful, and had besides the natural craft of her race, and I knew that she could be trusted. As for me, I swiftly donned my bonnet and set out to find Major .Hawthorn.It was a bright June evening, and my walk through the meadow and. the grove that skirted Hawthornedean would have been a more delightful one i f I had borne a mind more at ease. The Major was a gentleman by birth, and he lived out his fifty bachelor years in a gay and careless way that had seemed to set the gentler part of his creation at defiance in the lifetime of parents. Hawthornedean had been a beautiful estate. It still retained many marks of wealth and cultivated ownership, but it was sadly run down, as the home of a bachelor is apt to be. The grove, which had once been the pride of the place, was grown up with brush now, and the sere leaves of many summer’s growth rested under my feet as I walked through it. At one point, coming suddenly around'a thick clump of undergrowth, I beard a chorus of tiny suorts and the scam­pering of numberless hoofs, and I knew that 1 had invaded, avaunt of the Ma­jor’s last agricultural freak, the very brood of Berkshire pigs that were the cause of my borrowed' woes. Away they scampered,•* their., snouts were raised in the air,--and each with a curl; in his tail that seemed too ornamental to be wholly the product of nature and to justify the village rumor that: the Major’s own man put those tails; in curl-papers every night. They had. the air of spoiled children, every one, and were evidently the Major’s pets. But that didn’t matter ; they had ruined Miss Lyddy’s wedding gown, to say nothing of other aggravating exploits which do not belong to this rtory, and I was determined to have satisfaction out of their owner.

I found the Major sitting on his° piazza, With an after-dinner look upon his handsome, good-humored face. He rose to greet me with an air of old- school politeness, dashed with a faint wonder that I, a woman, should have had the hardihood to approach a place so little frequented by women.

“Good evening, Miss Grace. I am happy to see yon. In what can I have the honor to serve you ?” '

He had read my face and knew that I had come on a mission.

“Major Hawthorne,” I said, paying no attention to his offer of a chair, “I have come on a very painful errand.”

“Sit down, madam,” said the Major, politely. “I cannot possibly permit a lady to stand on my piazza. I ought, perhaps, to ask you to walk in, but it is rather stuffy inside this evening.”

“Ho,” I said, “I will sit here, if you please,” To tell the truth, indoors, as seen through the windows, had not the most inviting look, and I was glad to compromise.

“You have, no doubt, heard”—plung­ing in medias res—“that Miss Lyddy Ludkins is about to be married ?”.

“Married! Miss Lyddy! H o! Hadn’t heard a word of it,” said the Major in genuine amazement. ‘’Who is the for­tunate man, pray ?”

“The Rev. Hehemiah Applebloom, a missionary to the Micronesian islands, who has come home to recruit his health and find a wife.”

“I know him,” said the Major, “Saw him down at the station—a long, lean, lank individual—just fit for his voca­tion; no temptation whatever to can­nibals! But what the deuce is he go­ing to do with Miss Lyddy? "What will Balaam’s Corners do without her?”

" i ala m’s Corners must do the best it can,” I said—fear a little sharply— for my mind was still in a most ag­gressive state toward the Major,

“They are to be married next week, and—”

"W h it will become of. the ‘ances­tors?’ ” interpolated the Major, in whom surprise seemed to have gotten the better of habitual politeness.

“Oh, she has made arrangements with Mr. Crow about that.”

“Just like her. Dear, faithful girl.” The Major had all his life loved all

the sex—not one—and I was not to’be beguiled by this show o f feeling.

“Stie had set her heart upon being married in her grandmother’s wedding gown.”

“Old Mrs. Captain Simon? I remem­ber her’ well. A mighty fine woman. She never would have gone to the ends of the earth . with a missionary. It’s the craziest scheme I ever heard of.” ;

I began to fear I should never get to my errand. -

“It was put out on the grass to bleach, being a little yellow with age. It*was: a lovely embroidered India muslin

- that the old captain ^brought home' from India liimself.”

“ Hotv W eill remember him in m y' boy hood! A jolly old soul! A*grand-1

daughter of his go off to the Cannibal Islands to he eaten up by savages. I won’t have it!”

“Her heart is set upon going,” I con­tinued. “The wedding gown was put out to bleach, and ttiis very afternoon those little Berkshire pigs of yours— they are a nuisance to the whole neigh­borhood, Major—trampled and rooted it to pieces, so that it is utterly ruined.”

“Little black rascals!” said tbe Ma­jor, with a chuckle behind his neck­cloth.

“And I have come, without her knowledge, to tell yon of it,'because I was sure that, under the circumstan­ces, a gentleman of your breeding would feel in honor bound to make some reparation to Miss Lyddy.”

The Majcr mused and looked at his boot for a moment in silence.

“Miss Grace,” he said at length, “I thank you for the service you have ren­dered me in this matter. W ill you have the goodness to say to Miss Lud- kins, with my compliments, that I shall do myself the honor to wait upon her to-morrow at ten o’clock to adjust this unfortunate matter? I beg in the meantime that she will give herself as little solicitude, for, though I cannot restore the ancient and generated dry­goods, I will do the best that is possi­ble under the circumstances to make the loss good.”

He bowed ovei my head and the au­dience was evidently concluded. Was ^satisfied? Ho, indeed! What wo­man would not have felt wronged to be left at the, end of disinterested be­nevolence in such a state of doubt and' uncertainty as this ? But I was oblig­ed to go home, nevertheless, and wait as paitently as I could for the stroke of ten next morning.

Glory had been in hearing when the message had been delivered to Miss Lyddy, and she, too, was on the watch. A t last she scudded in from the hedge, her ivories all aglisten, and her eyes wide open and full of a rather" incom­prehensible mirth.

“He’s a-comin’,” she said; “ and such a sight!”

A t that minute the gate clicked, and up the walk strode, indeed, a most astonishing figure. The Major had gotton himself up into a continental suit, which he must have fished out of the unknown depths of the ancient attics of Hawthorndean; black, velvet coat, with lace ruffles at the wrist, knee breeches, white satin waistcoat, slippers with shoe buckles, powdered wig, and cocked liat. He was six feet tall, portly and well formed, and lie looked every inch a signer of the De­claration at the very least. He was followed by his colored man, who car­ried a large brown paper parcel.

“He’s come a courtiii’ missus,” said Glory; “you can see it in his face.”

I had not the instinct of Glory, and doubted; hut what his errand was I was dying to know.

But he disappeared into Miss Lyddy’s. parlor, and I was left outside to tem­per my impatience as best I could Presently Glory entered on tiptoe.

“Missus, missus,” she whispered, “de do’s swung open jes* de leas’ crack, an’ it’s jes’ opposite the hig murror; an’ if ye come out here in lhe hall ye can see it all in the inurror as plain as day, an’ it’s a heap batter’n a play.”

It was a temptation, but believe me, dear reader, I resisted it. Only as Glory ran hack to her peeping I fol­lowed to pull her away, and send her1 out of doors—that was simply my duty —and there lie was, full on his knees before her, and she with that rapt, seraphic look upon her face which no woman ever wears except on the most vitally interesting occasion. But, Glory disposed of, I went back to my sewing, and waited as best I could the conclusion of the momentous inter­view. The Major came out at length, as smiling as a May morning, leaving the brown paper parcel behind him.

It was very still in Miss Lyddy’s room for a quarter of an 'hour, and then she, too, emerged from her re­treat. Spread oyer her Hands: was a gown of cream-colored brocade, em­bellished witii the loyliest roses in full bloom, witii blue forget-me-not trailing here and there among them. It bad an ample waist, elbow sleeves, ,and a train a yard and a half long.

“My dear Grace,” said she; “ the Ma­jor has brought me his mother’s, wed­ding-gown to be married in.”

“ It is beautiful.” I said; “but who is to be the bridegroom ?”

She smiled as angles do, and looked afar; a delicate flutter of pink hung out in her cheek" to deprecate her re­creancy, as she whispered in a tone of; gentle hut consummate triumph:

“The Major himself ! Didn’t belook grand in his knee breeches-?”

“And'Mr. Applebloom ?” . •“Major Hawthorne will adjust that

matter.”“That matter, indeed?” . She spoke

as though it were • already as remote from her as the pyramids."

“I congratulate you. Miss Lyddy,” I said, growing formal, for' she had be- have'd shamefully.

“Don’t blame me,” sh e . murmured. “Major .Hawthorne declares he has loved me since I was a child, hut never thought himself worthy of me, the gay deceiver; and Mr. Applebloom, you know, is only the acquaintance of a day.”

I wanted to ask her how she had dis­posed Of her presentment, hut l did not dare.

Major Hawthorne subscribed $50 to the Micronesian mission, and sent Mr. Applebloom elsewhere for a wife, and the verdict of Balaam’s Corners was that lie Had, done the handsoine: thing.

“ ’Bore goodness!” said Glory, “ef dare weren’t a clar relation between dem pigs ah’ Providence, den I don’t know nothin’.”

Miss Lyddy took the same pious view o f the matter, and made the Ma­jor the inost' dainty and dignified of wives.

Peck ’s Bad Boy.“Well, I swow, here comes a walking

hospital,” said the grocery man as the had hoy’s shadow came in the store, followed by the hoy who looked sick and yellow and tired, and he had lost half his flesh. “What’s the matter? Haven’t got the yellow fever, have you?” and the grocery man placed a chair where the invalid could fall into it.

“Ho. Got the ager,” said the boy. as lie wiped the perspiration off his upper lip, and looked around the store to see if there was anything in sight that would take the taste of quinine out of his mouth. “Had too much dreamy life of ease on the farm, and been shak­ing ever since. Dam a farm, anyway.”. “What, yon haven’t been to work for

the deacon any more, have you? I thought you sent in your resignation,” and the grocery man offered the hoy some limburger cheese to strengthen him.

“O, take that cheese away,” said the boy, as he turned pale and gagged. ‘Y ou don’t know wliat a sick person needs any more than a professional nurse. What I want is to be petted. You see I went out to the farm with my chum, and I took the fish poles and remained in the woods while he drove the horse to the deacon’s, and he gave the deacon my resignation, and the deacon wouldn’t accept it. He said he would hold my resignation until after the harvest, and then act on it. He said he could put me in jail for breach; of promise if I quit work and left him without giving proper notice, and my chum came and told me, and so I con­cluded to go to work rather than to have any trouble, and the deacon said my chum could work a few days for liis board if lie wanted to. It was pretty darn poor board for a boy to work for, hut my chum wanted me to he with him, so he stayed. Pa and ma came out to the. farm to stay a day .or two to help. Pa was going to help harvest and ma was going to help the deacon’s wife, but pa wauted to carry the jug to the field and lay under a tree while the rest o f us worked, and ma just talked the arm off tbe deacon's wife. The deacon and pa laid in the shade and'see my chum and me work, and ma and the deacon’s wife gossiped so they forgot to get dinner, and my chum and me organized-a strike, hut we were beaten hv monopoly. Pa took me by the neck and threshed out a shock of wheat with my heels, and the deacon took my chum and sat down on him, and we begged, and they gave us our old situations back. But we got even with them that night. I tell you, when a boy tries to be good, and quit playing jokes on people, and then has everybody down on him, and lias his pa hire him out on a'farm to work for a deacon that hasn’t got any soul ex­cept when he is in church, and a boy has to get up in the night to get break­fast and go to work, and has to work until late at night, and they kick be­cause he wants to put butter on his pancakes, and feed him skim milk and rusty fat pork, it makes him tough, and lie would play a joke 'on his aged grand-. mother. After my chum and me had got all the chores done that night, we sat out on a fence Hack of the house in the orchard, eating green apples in the moonlight, and trying to think, of a plan of revenge. -Just then I saw a skunk back of the house, right by the outside cellar door, and I told my chum that it would serve them right to drive the skunk down cellar and shut the door, but my clium said that would he too mean. I asked him if it would be any meaner than for the deacon to .snatch ns - bald-headed because' we wouldn’t mow away hay fast enough for two men to pitch it, and he said it wouldn’t, and so we got on each side of the skunk and sort of scared it down cellar, and then we crept up softly and closed the cellar doors. Then we went in tlie house and I whispered' to ma and asked her if she didn’t think the deacon had some cider, and ma she be­gan to Hint that she hadn’t had a good drink of cider since last winter, and the deacon’s wife said us hoys could take a pitcher and go down cellar and draw some. That was too much. I didn’t want any cider, anyway, s o l told them that I belonged to a temper­ance soeiety, and I should break .my pledge if I drawed cider, and she said I was a good boy, and for me never to .touch a drop of eider. Then she told my chum where the cider barrel was, down- cellar, bub he ain’t no slouch. He said he was afraid to go down cel­lar in the dark, and so pa said he and the deacon would go down, and draw the cider, and the deacon’s wife asked ma to go down too and look at the fruit and berries -she had canned for the winter, and they all went down cellar. Pa carried an old tin lantern with holes in it to light the deacon to the cider barrel, and the deacon’s - wife had a taller candle to show ma the canned fruit. I tried to get ma not to go, ’cause m ais a friend of mine, and 1 didn’t want her to have anything to do with the circus, but she said she .guessed she knew her business. When anybody says that they guess they know their own business, that settles it with me, and I don’t try to argue with them: Well, my chum and me sat there in the kitchen, and I stuffed a piece of red tablecloth in. ray mouth to keep from laughing, and my chum

’held up his nose with his finger and ' thumb so he wouldn’t snort right out. We could hear the cider run m the pitcher, and then it stopped and the deacon drank out of the pitcher, and •then pa did, and then, they drawed some more cider, and ma and the dea­con’s wife were talking about how much sugar it took to can fruit, and the deacon told pa to help himself out

'o f a.crock of fried cakes, and I heard '.the cover on the crock rattle, and.just then I heard the old tin lantern rattle

; on the brick floor of the cellar, the dea- ,eon said. ‘Merciful goodness,’ pa said ‘Helen -damnation, I am stabbed,’ and

: ma yelled ‘goodness'sakes alive,’ and then there was a.lot of dishpans on the

. stairs begun to fall, and they all tried to get up cellar at once, and they fell over each other, and, © my, what a

"fresh smell came up to the kitchen .-from the cellar. It was enough to kill anybody. Pa was the first to get to the head of the. stair, and lie stuck his head in the kitchen and took a long breath and said, ‘whoosh! Henner’y,

-your , pa is a mighty siek man.’ The . deacon: came up next, and he had run his head into a hanging shelf and broke ;a glass; jar of hucMeherfies, and they were all over him, and he said, ‘give me air. Earth’s but a desert drear.’ Then ma and the deacon’s wife came

• up on a gallop, and they looked tired. Pa began to pull off his coat and vest, and said he was going Out to bury

'them, and ma said he could bury*her tod, and I asked the deacon i f he didn’t notice a faint odor of sewer gas com­ing from the cellar, and my chum said it smelled more to him as though some­thing had crawled into the cellar and died. Well, you never saw a sicker

;crowd, and I felt sorry for ma mid the ‘deacon, ’cause their false teeth*!ell out, arid I knew ma couldn’t gossip and the deacon couldn’t talk sassy without teeth. But you’d a dide to see pa. He was mad, and thought the- deacon had put up the job on him,'arid he "wasgo-

, ing to knock the deacon, out in twp rounds, >when ma said there was’no

.’rise* of getting mad about a dispensa- tion of Providence; arid ,pa said-one

more such dispensation of Providence would just kill him on the spot. They finally got the house aired, and my chum and me slept on the hay in the barn, after we had opened the outside cellar door so the animal could get out, and the next morning I had the fever and ague, and pa and ma brought me home, and I have been firing quinine down my neck ever since. Pa says it is malaria, but it is getting up before daylight in the morning and prowling around a farm doing chores before it is time to do chores, and I don’t want any more farm. I thought at Sunday school last Sunday, when the superin­tendent talked about the odor o f sanc­tity that pervaded the. bouse on that beautiful morning, and looked at the deacon, that the deacon thought that the superintendent was referring to him and pa, but maybe it was an acci­dent. Well, I must go home and shoot another charge of quinine into me,” and the boy went out as if he was on his last legs, though he acted as i f he was going to have a little fun while he did last.

His Last Brink.“Boys, I won’t drink without you

take what I do,” said old Josh Spillit in reply to an invitation. He was a toper of long standing and abundant capacity, and the boys looked at him in astonishment.

“The idea,” one of them replied, “ that yon should prescribe conditions is laughable. Perhaps you want to force one of your abominable mixtures on us. You are chief o f the mixed drinkers and I won't agree to your con­ditions.”

“He wants to run us in on castor oil and brandy,” said the judge, who would willingly have taken the oil to get the brandy.

“Ho, I ’m square, replied Spillit^Take my drink and I ’m with you.”

The boys agreed and stood along the Dar. Every one turned to Spillit, and regarded him with interest.

“Mr. Bartender,” said Spillit, “give me a glass of water.”

“What, water!” the boys exclaimed.‘Yes, water, it ’s a new drink on me,

I admit, and expect it’s a scarce article. Lemme tell you how I come to take it. Several days ago, as a passel of us went fishing, we took a fine chance o f whis­ky along and had a heap of fun. Long toward evenin’ I got powerful drunk, and crawled under a tree and went to sleep. The boys drank up all the whis­ky and came back to town. They thought it a good joke ’cause they’d left me out thar drunk, and told it ’round town with a mighty bluster. My son got a hold of the report and tOld it at home. Well, I laid under that tree all night, and when I woke in the mornin’ thar sot my wife right thar by me. She didn’t say a word when I woke up, but she sorter turned her head away. I got up and looked at her. She still didn’t say nothin’, but I could see she was a chokin’.

*' ‘I wish I had suthin to dririk,’ sezL“Then she tuck a cup what she fotch

with her and went down to whar a spring biled up, and dipped up a cup­ful and fotch it to me. Jes as she was handin’ it to me she leaned over to hide her eyes, and I seed a tear drap in the water. I tuck the cup and drunk the water and the tear, and raisin’ my hands I vowed that I would never af­ter drink my wife’s tears agin; that I had been drinkin’ them for the last twenty years, and that I was goin’ to stop. You boys know who it was that left me drunk. You was all in the gang. Give me another glass o f water, Mr. Bartender.”—ArJcansm Traveler.

A Dainty Dish.The Jackson Patriot tells o f a lady

who claims that sbe eats those quarrel­some, belligerent little birds, the Eng­lish sparrows, th$t are driving all our native birds out of the cities. She has a wire trap in one o f the basement win­dows, and after thirty o f the little nui­sances are caged, she makes them into a pie. I t is claimed that the sparrows are as plump and fat as any bird known, and their flavor is delicate and flesh delicious. The lady learned to prepare this dish by seeing her mother do it in Eugland. The mode of entrapping' the sparrows is described as follows. “Prom a rear basement window of her house the lower sash has been removed, and instead, a wire contrivance has been placed there, which is in the form of a half cylinder. It is so delicately balanced that as soon as a sparrow alights on a projecting bar its weight carries the contrivance half way round, where it is stopped suddenly by strik­ing a projecting knob. That Startles the bird, which finds itself carried by its own weight and the slow revolu­tion of the wheel into a large cage in­side the room. The sparrow finds a score of its kind in the cage, which are kept there as decoys to draw thither other sparrows in the neighborhood. A supply of grainis kept scattered near the outside of the trap, and a well- filled cup of grain rests directly be­neath the bar on which the birds hop for the purpose of procuring a meal.”

Verschiedenheit.An eviction of a very painful char­

acter has occurred at Killylea, County Armagh. An old man, who was put out on the roadside by the bailiff, drop­ped dead the moment thekey was turn­ed in his door. This eviction was for him, poor old fellow, a veritable “sen­tence of death.”

It is claimed that the pioneer tramp died in Ohio a few days ago. He was 96 years old, and he spent the last forty years of his life in going from place to place on foot. Born in Holland, he fought in Russia, Exance and India, and came to the United States in 1817.

A young farmer of southern Oregon was killed by lightning recently while carrying a steel-tined hay fork on his shoulder. An Oregon paper says that this is the second instance o f death by lightning stroke in that State within the knowledge of the oldest resident.

A fifteen-pound cannon ball has been found on Chimney Island, St. Law­rence River. It bears the marks of great age, and was probably used ia the engagement at the capture o f Fort Levi, on that Island in 1760. Israel Putnam, so conspicuous in the Revolu­tion, Was Lieutenant Colonel with the English Army under Lord Amherst, and led in the capture-of the fort.

The most valuable bristles used in brush making are white, and the breed o f hogs that produces them is every year growing scarcer. The best bris­tles come from Ifamtchatka, the next in grade from Russia and Germany. They sometimes reach a length o f near­ly ten inches, and cost as high as $4.50 a pound. Nothing yet in use wholly takes the place of bristles.

A gravestone in the East Hartford cemetery bears this inscription:

The jury o f twelve Missourians, be­fore whom Prank James has been tried, have said in their verdict that he is not guilty. Eleven o f the jurymen favoring acquittal on the first ballot. To a few this is a surprise. They'had at least expectSd a disagreement, but they had not known the full extent of the Missouri idea of justice.

By way of exercise she was whipped three times a day. It would be a good idea to go down 3ome morning and clean up some of that kind of Spanish practice as a before breakfast job.

Michigan’s Best Advertisement.Michigan’s best advertisement lies

in the truthful statement that i f the states o f our Union were set apart from each other, and so placed that each must depend upon her own native resources for support and develope- ment, Michigan would lead them all. W e have no immense wheat fields, nor gold mines, nor mountains o f iron, nor is our land extravagantly fertile. Cot­ton Is not king, nor com queen. In 'truth, wo acknowledge no royalty in any one product. But we have a nice­ly adjusted diversity o f products lead­ing to a great variety o f industries which renders, us capable o f maintain­ing a large population. W e supply our own needs to a very large extent by patronizing the producers and manu­facturers within our own limits, and

‘ while doing this we need not he with­out the luxuries o f life pruduced at our very doors. Michigan is emphafc-

.ically a state in which to build homes;; independent and attractive homes, in which engendered a spirit of rest and satisfaction, that gives permanence to population and continuous prosperity to the inhabitants, and it behooves us

' in doing what we can for the develop- . ment pf the resources of the state to . use such arguments as will induce peo­ple who enjoy the kind of life thus out­lined to come to us and remain with ns. Bonanza farming would a'dd nothing to our prosperity. Small farms that are readily converted into delight­ful homes, with a view to independent life, will be the foundation of Michi­gan’s future prosperity.

RANGER A T EVERY TURN.

HOW DEATH LURKS IX COitHOX THINGS—HEED THE WARNINGS OF DOCTORS, ANDSTARVE— LAUGH AND GROW FAT.

Washington Republic.The medical journals, and particularly

The London Lancet, which arrogates to itself a wisdom greater in degree than that possessed by any of its contempo­raries, are publishing from time to time statements in regard to the dangers sur­rounding life that may well make us pause and consider the question r “ Is the human race doomed to extinction ?” Outside of the natural causes that should end life after a longer or shorter term, governed in its duration by the laws of heredity, by occupation and onr own proper care and diligence, we find as a race we are exposed to dangers on every side, little dreamed of by the average individual, insidious in their approaches, and as hard to guard against as any unseen and unknown foe.

The principal dangers lurk in the most common things, and are found in all our surroundings. The air we breathe, under the examination of the skilled chemist, is found impregnated with deadly gases, and to bear nponits wings the concealed fructification of crypto- mia, the fatal advance guard of diph­theria, cancerous affections and other malignant diseases. The water we drink is filled with infusoria and ani- malcula, that once received in the system become internal parasites and gnaw away at onr vitals until life be­comes a burden and death steps in as a welcome deliverer, or else it holds in solution mineral substances that deposit themselves in the form of incrustations within our most delicate organs, and wrench us with pain while slowly wind­ing up our thread of existence. The food we eat is not only dangerous on ac­count of having become stale and poison­ous by age and ohemicalohanges occuring in its formation, but also by reason of the many adulterations and chemical imitations made by the tradesmen whose motive is gain, not fair dealing. So, too the liquors and fluids we drink are all more or less adulterated, more or less poisoned, by the chemists’ dia­bolical skill. The advocate of temper­ance is no safer than the toper, for the teas o f China and the coffees from everywhere are as often the subject of adulteration as is the brandy that is innocent only in its entire freedom from the juice of the grape. I f we bathe, danger surrounds us on eveiy side, not simple the danger of being drowned, but the danger incident to taking the bath at an improper season, or with a tempera­ture too high or too low. In regard to these it has been demonstrated that it is dangerous to bathe when the weather is chilly or a cool wind is blowing; also when the weather is warm and the body heated j so, too, when one is hungry, or immediately after eating. Then a warm bath is dangerous, because it is ener­vating, and a cold hath because it causes a sudden shock to the system. The use of soap in the bath is also attended with danger on account of the fat of animals dying from diseases frequently being used in its manufacture. Next in order comes the insidious effects arising;from bad drainage, sewer gas and bad ventilation, These things make the near neighborhood of our dwellings and the interior of our houses unfit places for staying or residing. Even our clothing, particularly stock­ings, is a source of danger from the use of poisonous dyestuffs used in its manu­facture; and the paper with which the walls of our houses are covered is often fatal to life from like cause. Our beds are not exempt from danger, the hair in the mattresses or the feathers in the pillows often being the lurking-places of disease, while the clean, white sheets and spreads may he contaminated by contact with the foul, ones from some bed of sickness, while in the hands of the washwoman. Sleep itself is dan­gerous, if indulged in to too great a degree, and the absence of it necessarily is fatal.

Ontside of the causes of disease and death—and they are enough—are many more hidden away in onr every-day en­joyments and; employments. In the cigar, cigarette ana pipe lurk carbonic oxide, sulphuretted hydrogen, prussic acid, piooline bases and nicotine, and sometimes opinm and other poisonous drugs. Even the act of kissing is fraught with danger, and may be the means of conveying disease from one person to another. Certain plants are poisonous to the touch, and when burned in our grates or fireplaces may prove dangerous by the subtle essence they give off in the smoke. Coal gas from furnace is deleterious, and wul under­mine the strongest constitutions, and the so-called illuminating product which we bprn all night in a vain effort to get Iightfi Us the air of our rooms with half a score of poisonous vapors. And now it has been discovered that, there is danger in reading books and news-

Sapers, danger o f both mental and odily poisoning, as well as the serious

impairing of vision. _These are only a few of the evils inci­

dent to our modem civilization, bnt they teach ns that, to live a long and healthy life requires the utmost care and circumspection. The safest rule, I take it, to avoid all these multi-form evflaxis to ahslaija_ from drinking and

eating to avoid being poisoned, to abstain from bathing, living in or out of a house, wearing clothing, reading, using fuel or light, and, in short, pretty muon everything whioh goes to make life endurable. Briefly, don’t try to live at all.

A glance at humanity in general, however, shakes our faith somewhat in all the above scientific deductions and statements of facts. The careless go- lucky individual, who eats, drinks and makes merry, alike regardless of Cause or effect, so far as all the insidious poisons are concerned, appears to enjoy life and get along remarkably well. The poisoned air, food, drink, clothing, houses and’surroundings agree with him. He. laughs and grows fat. He does not know, nor doeshe trouble him­self to find out, why so large a percen­tage of careful people are always sick. Perhaps in large quantities and thoroughly mixed all these poisons agree with the human system. Perhaps, after all, poison is the one element we should accustom ourselves to the use of if we desire to keep well. _THE HARR SIRE OF T E L E .

GRAPHIC WORK.Louisville Courier-Journal.

Where the difficulty comes in is where we have ciphers to read. An old operator can take cipher as plainly as he can ordinary words. Cipher is sent freely, and some things sent are ourious enough. It is nothing to have to take one word of twenty-six letters, all jumbled together, consonants and vowels dancing together, arm in arm, as mad as March hares. What would you think of writing down four'liun-* dred such words as “bykimnski?’ Yet you would be surprised if I told you that an old operator makes mistakes as rarely with this jumble of intelligibil­ity as he would if it were the smoothest of smooth English. The hardest thing I ever did was when I was in St. Paul taking the cable repprt for a German paper there. I didn’t know a single word of German, and had to go en­tirely by the sound. The paper never complained, and I suppose it was all right. By the way, I don’t suppose you know how messages are received over the cables? No? Well, it is altogether different from this tick, tick, tiok. The operators there sit in dark rooms. The messages come as little electric sparks; the letters are known by the length of the flash. These men go blind at the end of fifteen years and are pensioned in England, but nothing is done for them here. They are not even paid any better than we are.”

“But are telegraphers subjeot to any disease special to their occupation?”

“ Oh, yes; my right arm is paralyzed.I couldn’t nse it for four months once in St. Panl. That is very frequent. My a m was painted to the shoulder four mouths with arnio& to kill the pain.I have sat working at an open window in the dead pf winter, and while all the rest of my body and my left arm were icy cold my right arm was like a fur­nace. It would sometimes all of a sud­den loss all sense of feeling and a pro­fuse damp perspiration break out all over it. I have been forced to send with my thumb nail. This disease some­times bends the arm around, twisting and deforming it. I know a man in Chicago whose arm is bent like a bow. He sends with the nail of his little finger. It must he agony to him, but then he can’t starve.”

STEELE MAGKEYB.George Alfred Townsend.

Steele Maokeye, the author of “Hazel Kirke” and the inventor of the double stage, is at the Brighton hotel, at Coney Island, and I had some talk with him last night about theatricals, He said: “Your information that “Hazel Kirke” is the only play which has been profit­able in the aggregate is, I have no donbt, correct. When I was at the Madison Square theatre and we sent out a traveling company, I insisted that they should be our own company, rep­resentative of that theatre. Hence more money came from the traveling company than from the original pro­duction of the piece. But after I was routed out of that theatre the same avaricious, cunning polioy began to put on the road snide companies, chiefly made up of amateurs. The people soon found out the difference, and hence a falling off of profits.” *

“ Why do you write no more plays, Mr. Mackeye ?”

“I have written two plays better than 'Hazel Kirke,’ but I am tired of having my work doctored and fingered by these pretenders at the theatres, the piece produced contrary from my un­derstanding and views, and the busi­ness arrangements invariably so that the author gets the hot end of the poker. I shall retnm to the theatre again when I have made money enough to be financially independent, and control the production of my own plays.”

“ How do you expect to accomplish that?”

“By my inventions. I am now work­ing at a chair, to be used for theatres and for railroad cars, which I believe will supersede any ohair now in vogue.”

“ Has the double stage been used anywhere else but at the theatre you founded?”

“I believe not. When I devised that stage, and finally secured the means and backing to build it, the most pre­posterous objections were made to it, and it was gravely declared and proved that when the stage was built it would not lower or raise. Before that it was demonstrated clearly that'it Would kill people. How, it has been in operation for several years, and it has never stuck, never killed anybody, never been subject to the least accusation.”

A E R IA L N A V IG A T IO N .Chicago Inter Ocean.

A certificate of incorporation of what is to be known as the “ Aerial Naviga­tion company, of Chicago," has been filed with the secretary of state, the objeot of the eompany being stated to be “ the transportation of passengers through the air.” The capital stock of the company will be $2,000,000, each share to be sold at $200, the shares numbering 20,000. It is stated that the machines to he used by the company will bo‘ similar to, bnt more perfect than, the one. tested at Hartford, Conn., some two years ago. Immediate steps are to be taken for the manufacture of a monster machine of great power and oapacity, and should the ethereal idea materialize, the world will soon see aerial navigation reach perfection.

I N A QUEER FIX .Chicago Journal.’* An European noble family is in a qneer

predicament. They lost their money and some of their members came to this country and, laying aside all thoughts o f lineage, went to work with a will, using their old coat-of-arms as a trademark. They gained a large trade and a fortune, their goods being sold everywhere. On their retina to Europe they resumed their old state and wished t o again display their coat-of-arms, but to their dismay it was recognized every­where as the popular trademark.

AYER’SCherry Pectoral,

No other complaints are so insidious in their attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority o f suffer­ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex­posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal sickness. Ay e r ’ s Ch e r r y P ectoral has well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight with throat and lung diseases, and should he taken in all eases without delay.

B y the continued use o f the Pectoral a perma­nent cure was effected. I am now 62 years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your Cherry Pectoral saved me.

St il l the good work goes on. St. Joseph has raised within a few dollars of the amount asked for—§10,000, and lias given satisfactory right of way for the St. Joseph Aralley railroad through that township, and with every move, the prospect brightens foran early ride to the Lake over that road.

Tiie fellows who are prowling around Front street houses along in the mid­night hours, trying back doors and windows, must be very cautious in their work. There is a young arsenel np in that part of town that is liable to go off at any time and scatter lead at a dangerous rate. The man at the trigger sleeps with one eye open.

T he committees appointed at Ber­rien Springs to solicit contributions of right o f way, and cash for the exten­sion o f rive narrow gauge road to St. Joseph, are making commendable pro­gress. They have secured the greater part of the right of way in Oronoko, and with each day’s work the prospect brightens.

Our remark that oats had been found growing on a corn-cob has re­vived, with new and increased inter­est, the question, "Does wheat turn to cheat,” and there are men who pass for men o f more than ordinary intelli­gence who actually take the affirmative, and say, “I f it does not, how do you account for the first crop o f fire-weed in a piece of new ground, and the crop o f colts-tail that follows that?”

B. D. H a r pe r and John Morris re­port having met N. O. Fansler at Ev­ansville, Ind. while on their trip south.

His friends here will be pleased to learn that his reckless ways have not bank­rupted him.

The job o f building the river bridge jogs wearily along. I t Is now a month past the time set for the work to be completed, and only about half o f the piles driven yet. I t is only once in a great while that a township gets caught in quite such a snap, but patience is the only remedy under the circum­stances. , .

A few weeks since, Spencer & Barnes, o f this place, bad stolen from their safe a pocket book containing some notes and valuable papers and a small amount o f money. Last week they were somewhat surprised to receive notice that their lost property had been found deposited in a coal car in Chica­go, and well pleased to have it return­ed. N o one pretends to account for its being in that place.

During the past week a number of bills have been posted In this place, advertising for sale houses and lots in Niles. Just move your property over here and we will buy it and then see that it is occupied. It is o f no use to us where it is.

The postmaster at this place has found two letters lie-thinks hardly pre­pared for transit. One contains tbe direction, Niles, B. C. M., and the other Bricli Ment. B. C. M. It might be easily guessed that B. C. M. is intend­ed to mean Berrien County, Mich., and that Bricli Ment might mean Bridgman, but as the U. S. Mail service is not in the guessing business, the writer will wonder why liis friends do not receive their letters.

Manager S. R. Callaway of the Grand Trunk, and the officers of the St. Joseph Aralley railroad, were here on Friday with a view of looking up a good place to tap the Grand Trunk with the other road west of the city. A third rail will be laid on the Grand Trunk road so that the narrow guage cars could be run to the depot, corner of Main and Division streets.—South Send Register.

A. F. Peacock; Agent.

A nything to bamboozle the natives takes to perfection. Main street has been graced, the past few evenings, with a loud mouthed fakir, who had two trunks filled with the cheapest kind of goods and a mouth as full of as cheap abuse and lies, and the louder he flung his abuse, and lies to the breeze the faster lie could sell goods. One or two instances, noted by the R ecord, •were a cheap quality of hose, that have been on sale by local dealers at five cents per pair. He s61d three pairs of these and one pair of a cheaper quality for a quarter, and found buyers in the crowd as fast as lie could hand them out and keep his mouth going. Sus­penders that are sold by Bernard for fifteen cents, lie found rapid sale for at twenty-five cents, by throwing in his abuse. His other goods were about in proportion. There is another differ­ence. The local dealer who keeps the goods constantly on hand and sells to you for the least price, pays^taxes to­ward building up the town yon live in, and make its improvements, while the other man pays none of this except in the paltry sum he pays for license. Yet the street hawker gets your trade, while you listen to the abuse he heaps upon the local dealer. The proper way to treat such fellows is to leave them severely alone, or at least lyiow wliat you are doing when you give them your money You can depend upon it that they do not travel about the country for nothing, and you must stand the expense.

The South Bend Tribune closes the announcement of the extension o f the St. Joseph Valley Railroad with tlie word “Doubtful.” AYell, perhaps, but you will know more, positively within two years. Although all past promises have been rather deceiving, this is the first tangible one we have bad, in which a stated contract has been- entered into by responsible parties, and the eondi- tions'of the contract being carried out as they are in the present Just keep your eye on the narrow gauge road, Mr. Tribune, and it is highly probable that you may soon see sometfiing of interest to y ou ,' ' . •

The Berrien' County Fair.Years ago before the subject had

been seriously agitated the officers of the Berrien County Agricultural Soci­ety threw tlieir premium list open to competition from surrounding coun­ties both in Michigan and Indiana. Though this course at the outset met with some petty opposition from a few, time right quickly demonstrated that this liberal policy was wise in every sense. The novelty of the scheme at once attracted the attention of farmers, manufacturers and stock raisers of a large territory, and the ex­hibit was at once greatly increased, the attendance multiplied and great pecuniary benefits realized until now the annual exhibition is anxiously an­ticipated by the inhabitants of the sur­rounding country.

During the present season the Asso­ciation lias enlarged its buildings and constructed new ones, improved its- grounds, increased its facilities in every respect and added materially to tbe premium list.

In connection with the thirty-third annual Fair, to be held up on thebeau- tiful spacious grounds at the city of Niles, Alicliigan, September 23, 26, 27 and 2S, will be given a Firemen’s Tournament, at which will be offered $2,100 in purses, and already are en­tered the leading companies of Indi­ana, Ohio, Illinois and Alicliigan. In­dications are that the attendance will far exceed any similar exhibition ever had in this section of the country. Re­duced rates are given upon all rail­roads. * *

(Berrien Springs Era.]The bams of James AYalton, In the

west part of this, township, took fire, probably from the engine of a steam: thresher at work there, and burned to the ground. The barn was alarge.flne building, and a sheep shed, a corn crib, a large hog shed, and a shed where Mr, AYalton kept his farm machinery, were all burned. A wagon, buggy, harness and a reaper, were all that were saved, everything else being destroyed.. Over fifty .tons o f bay, 550 bushels of wheat, about 150 bushels o f oats, 70 bushels o f rye and 400 bushels of old corn and a large amount o f tools and machinery were included in the loss. The proper­ty destroyed was worth about $3,000, on which, it is said, there is an insur­ance of $2,000. Fortunately Mr. AYal­ton is beyond the .possibility o f finan­cial ruin by this fire, hut it is hard on Mm as this is his thirdfire, a llot which have been- very destructive.

FROM BERRIEN CENTRE.Sept. 12,18S3.

Mr. David Crall, wife and little daughter, o f Sulphur Springs, Ohio, have been visiting at Jacob B. Grail’s the past week. They go home to-day by way of Chicago, to see tlie exposi­tion.

Air. Oliver Harmon, brother of AY. P. Harmon, is here from Carroll Co., Ill- visiting relatives and former friends.

J. J. Rapp returned Friday evening from his Indiana farm. He reports everything looking prosperous. Corn is splendid, and wheat sowing moving Off lively.

The millwright is preparing the cas­ings to receive the machinery in the new elevator here. The fixings will he on hand in a few days and immedi­ately put in place, so that tlie building will be ready for grain in the near fu­ture.

The heavy frosts of Sunday miming and Afondav morning killed the garden vines and plants generally, and but few corn fields escaped the same fate. Many of them are white and dry.

Alost of our farmers have concluded that wheat sowing had better be done at once, despite tbe continued drought.

The County District Lodge of I. O. G. T. convened at Berrien Centre on AYednesday last. Thirty-four delegates were present from the various socie­ties throughout tbe county. The fore­noon session ivas short, owing to the lateness of the hour at which the chair­man arrived. The afternoon was re­plete with enthusiasm and good feel­ing. Besides tbe regular business of the meeting, many pointed remarks were made and a number of very en­tertaining addresses were offered by members In attendance. Air. Frank Forbes, o f St. Joseph, was elected and commissioned to visit the various lodges in this county during this quar­ter, and stir up a greater enthusiasm and infuse new life and energy, b y ad­monishing to greater activity in their efforts to do good. Mrs. John’son, of Benton Harbor, Miss Smith, of Buchan­an, and A. C. Palmer, of Berrien Cen­tre, were appointed to act as commit­tee for the good of the order at the next regular quarterlyj.session, to be held at AVatervliet Dec. 2 ,1S88.

NEW TROY ITEMS.Sept. 11, 1883.

For a number of years past this vil­lage has felt the need of an efficient teacher of moral law and gospel truths. True, the pulpit has been filled from time to time by ministers who, with­out a doubt, possessed great moral force, but at tbe same time lacked the active and potential energy required for the successful promulgation of re­ligious thoughts. It has been charged that this lack arises solely from the fact that this community is unable to support an able minister with the re­quired salary;’ and if the time has ar­rived when teachers o f the gospel la­bor for mammon and not for God, then this charge will be admitted. Yet herein our midst are young men and ladies who are left to bud, blossom aud wither, unaffected by the pure and in­vigorating breath of Christian labor, merely because education, associated with poverty, must step aside at the command of all powerful gold. Duty crowned the Savior’s brow with thorns, and who of his disciples o f to-day will not forbear some o f this life’s luxu­ries, i f by so doing tie may save from the restless sea of sin some poor waif of humanity. I do not mean to cast one iota of discredit upon those who have served on this circuit in the past. But youth is skeptical and its chimeri­cal visions can only be destroyed by the strong light o f education.

Mr. Frank Carpenter retires from the firm of Smith & Carpenter, and is suc­ceeded by Mr, Sidney Smith, a practi­cal workman of large and varied expe­rience.

The parEy at Mi’. S. R. Smith’s, last Saturday evening, was a pleasant af­fair, presenting an agreeable surprise to Mrs. Smith, whose fifty-eighth birth­

day it was in commemoration of, and besides, impressed upon her mind, by some appropriate presents, the friend­ship o f her many neighbors and ac­quaintances.

It is a pity that “Zimrod” uncorked his vials of wrath upon innocent heads, as the M. E. church of this place has never asked aid o f the dancing club, but tlie club did say that they would donate the proceeds of one dance to­ward repairing the church building. Further than this nothing was evei said or done, and, in fact, the church never showed, by word or action, that they would accept the proffered aid.

From LaFayette, Indiana.September 6,1883.

Editor R ecord:—Airs. Bartmess and I are-visiting friends and relatives in this citjr. LaFayette is rather a fine city, beautifully illuminated at night by the Brush electric lighr, which shines forth like the sun from the lofty dome of the Ford school building, which oc­cupies a high point east of the city. LaFayette is situated on the AYabasli river, ninety-two miles south of Mich­igan City, with a population of twenty thousand. This place is noted for its wealth. It lias a large number of wholesale and retail houses in the va­rious branches of trade and to quite an extent a manufacturing city. There are three daily and seven weekly pa­pers published here. There are_four different railroads leading into the city, the AYabasli, St?-Louis and Pacific; the Lake Erie and AYestern; the Cin­cinnati, Indianapolis,- St. Louis and Chicago; the Louisville, New Albany anil Chicago. The entire country snr- ronnding is rich and productive. The AYabasli Valley is second to none oth­er for corn, and tlie uplands have few equals for wheat. Hence LaFayette lias long been noted as a great grain market.

The United Brethren Conference held here, commencing on the22do£ August and closing on tlie 26th, was hospitably entertained by the people of the city. The session was well at­tended by both ministers and people; also a great many from other denomi­nations and conferences were daily in attendance. The session was presided over by the venerable Bishop AYeavei’, of Lisbon, Iowa, whose masterly mind and ripe Christian experience made., deep impressions upon all. The Sab­bath services were held In Trinity Al. E. church. The vast expectant audi­ence which tested the capacity' of both auditorium and gallery, wer.e not dis­appointed, while they listened with wrapt attention to words of the Bish­op, as he led them “out as far as Beth­any,” passing the garden, the cross and the tomb, and demonstrated to them that “His name shallbe called wonder­ful.” Alost of the pulpits were sup­plied by ministers o f the conference. AYe had the pleasure, on last Sabbath, of preaching in the church we occupi­ed twelve years ago, which is now in charge of Rev. R. P. Burton, formerly of Berrien county, Alich. Air. Burton has done a noble work here, and is held in high esteem by the people.

I had the pleasure of visiting tlie home of my childhood. I tell you, Air. Editor, it ivas good to be there; to be permitted once more to view the old paths, to visit the sulphur spring and

many loved spots which my infancy knew.” But the dearest and most sa­cred of all were tlie graves of my sainted parents and four loved sisters.

Mrs. B. and I were invited to attend a family picnic held near the old home­stead. Fifty-five persons were present and enjoyed a sumptuous repast be­neath the shade, of those old trees where I ran and played when a child. Here we talked of other years anil lov­ed ones gone. I may forget that which transpired an hour ago, but tlie record of that bright day Is written in lines that will only grow deeper as time flows over them.

ONOLD INDIAN’S ACCOUNT OF THE ORIGIN OF THE PRACTICE,

Cor. Helena, (MoiL)Independent.The newspaper man had quite a long

and interesting talk -with Otowatse, as he called himself, and among: other things asked him the purpose of tho Indians in. scalping their enemies, and where and how the oustom originated. Otawatse replied that the custom. had now become one of revenge and hatred, bnt: that scalps at one time were only taken to shpw after a battle: how many of their enemy had been slain. A war* party, by comparing the number of scalps taken with the number o f their own warriors missing, could tell which side: -was victorious in point o f execution On the foe. The origin of the custom, he said, was only explained by tradi­tion. The tradition is in substance as follows:

Hundreds of years ago— perhaps thousands—when the Indians were all one tribe and under one great chief, a dispute arose in the tribe as to who should become chief, the old chief hav­ing died withont leaving a son to suc­ceed him. There were two principal aspirants for the chieftaincy and each of them had a strong following. The dispute ended in dividing the tribe and in war. Previous to this time scalping Was unknown,'as there were no enemies to scalp, the land being occupied by only one people. Peace was never made between the two factions. The chief Of one side had a beautiful daugh­ter, and one of the .leading warriors was a suitor for her hand. The chief, as a condition to consenting to give his daughter ta her warrior lover, required him to kill the ohief o f the opposing tribe (Ms old-time rival for the chieftancy), and to bring him proof • of the act. The warrior accepted the condition. It was many long miles to the camp of the enemy, and the snow was deep, but he immedi­ately set out upon his mission. After lying in wait near the enemy’s camp for days, and undergoing great suffering from the extreme cold without having an opportunity of carrying out his plan, he finally, one night, boldly entered the camp, walked into the great chief’s lodge, mew him, and cutting off his head to take back with him as proof, started to return to his own people. The next morning the murder was dis­covered, also the murderer’s tracks in the snow and drops of blood which had fallen from the dead chieftain’s cap­tured head. Two hundred warriors startedin pursuit of the murderer . They almost overtook him, and he could hear them on his track. He was almost tired out and the dead chief’s head was grow­ing heavy, yet he struggled on with it through the snow and the cold, deter­mined not to relinquish the proof which would win for him his bride. The pur­suers pressed him so at length that he threw away every Height bnt his tro­phy. They finally gained on the weary brave so fast that it- seemed that he must either relinquish his prize or be captured, which of course would be death. 'Whipping out his rude knife (it was before the time of steel knives among the Indians), he hurriedly stripped off the scalp from the dead man’s head and sped on. Thus lightened of his load he made his own camp in safety. The scalp was accepted as sufficient proof that he had fulfilled his mission, the old chief no longer withheld his consent, and the bright-eyed daughter of the forest be­came his own. Thus originated the cus­tom of scalping among the American Indians.

CHOLERA B Y TELEGRAPH. Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

There is a theory held by some scientists that disease may be trans­mitted by electricity, and that over the wires cholera can pass from Egypt to Europe and from Europe to America. Prof. Hardin, of Baliol college, Oxford, who is here on a visit, was asked about this theory, and answered :

‘ ‘I think that a power which transmits sound, movement and heat might also transmit certain impalpable influences of disease, hut this is at complete variance with the germ theory. Some have gone so far as to hold that cholera could come from Egypt on the regular telegraph wire, bnt I can not conceive such a thing possible. In the first place the operator at the Egyptian end of the wire would have to be suffering from cholera, which could hardly be 3 he were at work. The only one affected, too, conceiving such a thing as this, wouldbethe operator on that particular line, and he could not transmit it any further, unless he should go on working his instrument When he is taken sick. Any cut off would end the circuit by which disease might be transmitted. I don’t think it possible that electricity can spread disease under any known circumstances.”

A Pittsburg physician, who was asked for an opinion, said: “ Ton don’t expect me to oppose the views of a man like Hardin ? I should he laughed at. All the same I have been studying this new theory and I am inclined to believe it. Electricity is so strange and is so little understood that nothing about it would surprise me. The ideas about tbe contagious nature of cholera, however, have changed. You could wear the clothes a cholera patient died in without a hit of danger, and I don’t think it can ever become epidemic in the United States or Europe again. It is to easily checked and yields too rapidly to cleanliness.”

FAT REFORMERS.Kobt J. Burdette.

I am not physicially constituted for a reformer. I haven’t the build. I fear I have a lean and hungry look. Tell me, you know every thing, why are reformers and evangelists fat ? “ Sleek­headed men and such as sleep o’nights ?” Rev. Mr. Hammond can not pass through “Pat men’s misery” in the great cave. Mr, Moody couldn’t think o f playing the ghost in “ Hamlet.” Mrs. Yan Cott is fair, thirty (and how), and embonpoint, as it were. And the reformers. Bobert Ihgersoll wears no lean and hungry look, and David Davis is growing corpulent. True, JohnB. Gough doesn’t seem to fat up very well, hut he won’t keep still long enough. I don’t know why it is bnt as a rule the the reformers look fat and comfortable.

HOUSES AND HOMES IN THE GREAT CITY.

Scientific American.-The population of Hew York city is

nearly 1,500,000, and for dwelling pur­pose in whole or in part there is said to he 78,368: houses. Of these 49,565 are exclusively occupied as dwellings. The total number of families is 200,000, and o f this number only 32,100 own their houses. The remainder pay rents. Within a comparatively brief period, large numbers o f what are known as apartment houses or flats have been erected. For the most part they consist o f large: buildings about fifty feet wide, ninty feet deep, and six stories high. Through the center is a hall and stair­way. On each side of the hall way on each story, the space is occupied by a series of connected rooms, small in ‘size, ordinarily intended to consist of a par­lor, kitchen, dining room, bath room, and three bed 'rooms, with sundry closets. These apartments, collectively

-called “a flat,” are cramped and contract­ed,affordingbutalimitedamount of light and air, The. rental run from $30 to $70 per month,, depending upon the location of the .building:

For. better flats, the rents are from $100 to $500 per month; for the latter sum large and superior apartments, in a ten story fireproof building may be had, with passenger elevator, etc. For entire dwelling houses, of three or four stories, with ■ nine to thirteen rooms, the "rental varies from $600: a- year to 3,000; the finer house's costing much more.

“JOHN BROWNS BODY.” Boston Cor. St. Paul Pioneer Press.,

Just before leaving Fort Warren Lieut. {Leary showed ns the barracks, winch were, used by the Second Bat­talion light, jnfantay northern soldiers,-

infhe spring of 1861. it was herelhat celebrated song, “ John Brown’s body lies, moldering in the grave,” was com­posed: by the Glee club of the infantry and sung. It was adapted to an old Methodist camp-meeting tune, some­what altered, and instantly became popular, the brigade band at the fort being first to play it. The singers en­tered the Twelfth regiment, and as they marched through Boston, New York and Baltimore they sang it with a thousand voices. The song spread like wild fire through the army of the Potomac and took a deep hold on the soldier’s heart. It was sung at the camp fire; upon tho march; it was heard in Texas and Ala­bama; through the Carolinas; down the Mississippi; along the streets of captured Richmond; its echo ran through the north, and to-day the never-dying, reverberations are heard from Maine to California, and from Canada to the gulf of Mexico. As we stood there, the words almost uncon­sciously come from our lips, and soon we woke the valley to eoho with the music of the grand old song.SO W A PROFESSOR ENJOTS MUSIC. Baltimore American.

A well-known professor o f the John Hopkins university, who is so constant­ly engaged in working out the tremen­dous problems which have made him famous the world over, is constantly seen at the Opera and at concerts of the higher grades. He was asked soma nme ago it he understood and really ju joyed music. “ I do not,” he an­swered, “ either understand or propor- ,y appreciate musio. But it pleases me when well rendered. The rhythmic beat is what most appeals to the mathematical ear. But there is a sooth­ing sensation in good music, and ! have more than once, while apparently list- Bning to the opera, worked out prob­lems which have worried me for days in my study. I enjoy the music, too —almostnnconscionsly, one may say— though as I stated, I do not thor­oughly appreciate it.”A VIRGINIA HOUSEKEEPER'S

MEMORANDUM.F. C. Baylor in Atlantic Monthly.

Among the family heirlooms was a treasure—the only one on which no one had counted or been able to dissi­pate—in the shape of a small book bound in leather, in which several gen­erations of ladies had recorded their domestic experiences and experiments. Here, in faded, crabbed characters, with a liberal use of capitals, and not always a fanatical adherence to the rules of spelling, were recorded recipes of every conceivable kind. A tremen­dous compound of honey, hyssop, licor­ice root, anise-seed, pulverized elecam­pane, angelica root, pepper and ginger, called “ Queen Elizabeth’s cordial eleo- tuary,” and said to have been “ her majesty’s favorite remedy when troub­led with straitness,” which must have been pretty often, if we may judge fromherpictures; “ the Honorable Mr. Charles Hamilton’s method of making grape wines,” which “ theDuke de Mire­poix,” presumably a judge of such mat­ters “ preferred to any other;” “Dr. Pul­ler’s Chemical Snuff for Drowsy Dis­tempers;” an “Incomparable Method of Salting Meat as Adopted by the late empress of Russia,” “ more expensive than common brine," as imperial brine has a right to be, “but promising ad­vantages that most people would be glad to purchase at a much higher price,”—these, with Tecipes for “ Brag- get,” “Ink Powder,” a “ Grand Ptisan or Diet Drink of Health and Longev- ity, by a Celebrated French Physician, who lived nearly 120 years,” doubtless on his own mixture, and a highly gen­teel “Bemedy for Noisome Vermin,” which, “ if applied with only the tip of a pin will cause tkeinsect to be instant­ly deprived of existence,” jostled each other in this quaint record of the dark age in which a woman was supposed to “ superintend her family arrangements, investigate her accounts, instruct her servants, and keep within the bounds of her husband’s income.”SOMETHING FOR PHILANTHRO­

PISTS.Chas. TV. W ard in The Century.

Let ns add a suggestion to American philanthropists: Endow amusements! So far, we fear our social scientists and benevolent benefactors have bestowed their efforts too exclusively upon the hospital and asylum side of society, or, when they have pushed out beyond the limits of hygiene and sanitary regula­tions, have been too ready too stop with establishing reading-rooms, work­ingmen’s clubs, holly-tree inns, and free lyceum’ lecture courses. Let us do no less than we are doing for the sick people and the bad people, but—in the name of all that is human—let us have a larger thought also for the blue peo­ple, that neglected class who may have learned how to think, and been “ re­formed” and “cultured” from head to foot, but who have never learned one accomplishment, indispensable to a lib­eral education,—how to laugh 1

We repeat, then, for the eyes of phil­anthropists, public benefactors, and sooial’ economists—not |to mention any readers of a patronizing disposition who may be thinking o fmaking their wills and casting about them for an "object” : Endow amusements; back up talent in its efforts to brush off the rust from the jaded and stupid folk; found institu­tions for the promotion of mirth; es­tablish anti-dyspeptic schools and soci­eties for the suppression of bile; en­courage lyceum amusement courses in the towns, and build and support a Theatre American in every city. In short, take this whole matter of cheer­ing the people—just as you have taken the whole matter of moralizing them— out of the hands of private traffio and into the hands of public benevolence.

NEW YORK FERE ENGINES. Correspondence New Y ork Herald.

“ The engine stands in the engine- house ready for the road. So does tha tender. The horses are in their stalls. The men are lounging about or sleep­ing. The alarm stnkes. In a twinkling all are at their posts.

“ By a curious contrivance the ham­mer that strikes the warning gong sets in operation a system of cords and levers that unfasten the horses. The men come down from their sleeping or sit­ting rooms, not by stairways, but by a pole, to the lower floor.

“They are all ready in a twinkling. And what of: the horses ? ’ They gener­ally outstrip the bipeds in responding to the call. The hammer which re­leases them and strikes the gong, sends them'an alarm they at once interpret.

"Standing or lying, they are ont at once and beside the engine pole. There is no harnessing, no adjusting of belly- bands and the squeezing of collars and" fastening of reins. The new ‘swing’ harness used in the department is a complete comparison, which is sus­pended by an ingenious apparatus above the spot where the horses take their places. •

“ Close the open collar» with a snap, pull a rope which lifts the suspending apparatus, and they are equipped and ready for the road. The door swings open, every man is in his place and away goes the engine.”

A MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE. Scientific American.

An engine just built for the Southern Pacific railroad weighs, with coal and water, ninety-six tons, and is designed for heavy service on nnnsal grades. On a level track it can draw all the freight cars that can be made to hold together by ordinary methods. Steam is required to work its reverse lever, and the locomotive itself is a mountain of strength' and mechanical construc­tion.:

MOONSHINE WHISKY*

HO FROFTTS IN THE ILLEGAL BUSINESS—HOW THE DISTILLING ■ FRATERNITTHAVE BECOME UTTERLY DEMORALIZED.

M. Quad, in Detroit Free Press.Let any man except a government

official, thoroughly investigate the moonshine business in South Carolina and Georgia and he cannot help hut find something in extenuation of the illicit distillers.

It is. rare to find a moonshiner who is not a farmer. In forty-nine cases out fifty he is also a poor man. He lives up in the valleys o f the mountains where he is sure of nothing but a good com crop, and he lives in the most primitive style. His home is a log cabin of the poorest description, ignorance sur­rounds him, and he has to work hard for whatever crop his lands yield. It is not one out of six who owns a foot of land, each holds his home by paying rent. Take the toughest looking moon­shiner in a Southern jail and yon will find the only charge against him is that of illicit distilling and its results. You will he told that he is honest in his dealings with individuals, a hard-work­ing man and, in some instances, a prom­inent church member.

There are two excuses which the moonshiner assigns for his course in defying the laws of the land. Dp to the war there was no government tax on whisky, aitd almost every southern plantation was supplied with a still. Every planter made whisky and nearly every man drank it, and it was looked upon as a natural beverage. Begin a conversation with a moonshiner and he will at once advance the argument:

“I f my father could make whisky, why can’t I ? ”

“ There was no tax then.”“ Bnt why should there be one now ?”“Well, it is the law.”“ So they say, hut if there was no law

twenty years ago why should there he one now?”

You may argue and discuss, but you cannot convince him that it is a crime in him to follow in the footsteps of those who Were never disturbed in doing as he does. He may be good- hearted, but he is ignorant. He knows nothing of the world outside of three or four counties around him, and he looks upon the government as an unjust tyrant imposing unjust duties and forc­ing their collection.

The other excuse is his poverty, As I said before, his main crop is corn. He may raise a few potatoes to sell, but very few, and he never has any garden track to dispose of. After his land rent is paid for in corn he must market the rest to supply his family with what is needed. Greenville is a market for points in the mountains thirty miles away. If the moonshiner can borrow or lure a second mule or horse (he gen­erally owns one), and hire a wagon he must take three days over the late fall roads to get a market. If each trip bronght him $5 for his load he would be elated. He is in fact shut out from markets. He can raise corn, but he cannot get it to market in any way to realize a profit. He must have clothes and provisions, and how shall he get them?

There is the com, and here are creeks and ravines and hiding places, and whis­ky can be carried away six gallons at a tune and sold for ready cash to men calling themselves the respectable por­tion of the community. Some one has a second-hand still for sale cheap, two or three neighbors are ready to form a copartnership, and it is by a natural turn of events and an arbitrary train of circumstances that the farmer turns moonshiner. The still is purchased, set to work in some spot supposed to be safe from the revenue officers, and the work of earning coarse clothes and hum­ble provisions goes on.

I talked with half a dozen moon­shiners regarding the profits of illicit distilling. There ore none. If the owner of the best forty-gallon still in the mountains was left at peace for five consecutive years he could not earn the money paid the average mechanic. He must buy his corn, run risks of ac­cident, “ tote” his whiskey'down to the towns, and the men who buy of him take advantage of his situation. He must sell his “ Mountain Dew” for $1 a gallon, and he is the one who takes all the risks.

No one can point to a moonshiner who has greatly bettered his previous circumstances. He may have paid off some old debts, reclothed his family, and put by a few dollars to pay for medicines and a visit from the doctor, bnt he has not purchased land or live stock.

Eight or ten years ago one moon shiner could not have been bribed with $1,000 to give another away. They were a fraternity in which every man felt honor hound. All this lias been changed. "When a still was captured by some stroke of good luok, it was given out that this one or that one had be­trayed the locality. Thus suspicions were aroused of each other, and in order to get even actual informers came to the front. Moonshiners who were arrested were promised immunity if they would betray others, and in this way the fra- _ ternity was demoralized and at this time ’ is nearly broken up. There is not now in* operation one still where there used to be ten, and every third resident of the mountains is a spy upon his neigh­bors.

Whenever a raid is made and a still captured, au informer leads the officers to the spot. For promises or cash he leads the raid against a neighbor whom he has known all his life, and in some instances it is a man whom he has en­couraged to enter into the business. The result is to create a thirst for ven­geance, and when the moonshiner is again at liberty he will demand blood. It is rarely that resistance is offered the revenue officers when their identity is known, and the moonshine informer who has any prudence will keep far away from the mountains. Many of them have been shot, and family feuds have covered many a dark rock with plashes of blood.

While the moonshiner must obey the law, he has more excuses than any other criminal for breaking it. It is a ques­tion with him, he thinko, whether he shall live or starve. No man reasons with him, hut one set betrays him andth e o fficers c a p tu re M m .

“ CRYSTALLIZED SELL."New Y ork Tribune.

Dr. Maudsley, the great English chemist, stigmatizes chloral as “crystal­lized hell,” and condemns its use, even in disease, except to tide over some pressing emergency, and there is cer­tainly an increasing reluctance on the part of physicians to prescribe chloral except in exceptional cases.

Unlike opium there are, as a rule, no unpleasant effects, no reaction follow­ing the use of chloral. It simply pro­duces perfect sleep, or the best possible imitation o f dreamless rest, with no headache or sickness as a reminder that the slumber has been purchased and the debt must be paid for. It is paid later on and the interest demanded is health, hope and often life itself.

SUTTEE IN OREGON.Boston Budget.

There is a custom very unpleasantly like Hindoo suttee among the Oregon Indians. In these tribes a wife is com­pelled to lie upon her husband’s funeral pile until the medicine man orders her to be removed, a thing which he is in no haste to do. She is then obliged to pass her hands through the flame and to straighten the arms and legs of the dead when they begin to contract in the fire. After all this she has to collect

S usband’s bones, roll them in birch and carry them about np.on her

back. In some tribes a roll of bark with no enclosure is fastened to the widow, and she is compelled to wear it for two years, after which she may mar­ry again* _ . _

B ro w n ’ s Ir o n B itters is one o f the very few tonic medicines that are not com ­posed m ostly o f alcohol or whiskey, thus becom ing a

* fruitful source o f intemper­ance by prom oting a desire for rum.

B r o w n ’s Ir o n B itters : i guaranteed to be a non­intoxicating stimulant, and it will, in neaii y every case, take tire place o f all liquor, and at the same time abso­lutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxi­cating beverages.

To cure these diseases the blood must be purified, and restored to a healthy and na­tural condition.

In this strain ho consulted Dr. David K ennedy, ot’Kondout. N. Y., who told h im the in jured eye must b e taken out to save the other. To this Mr. Craigg demured, and went back in doubt. The loca l physician said : t ‘•GO to New York.” T o New Y ork the patient w ent, and one o l the m ost em inent ououlists Id the country, having looked at tho case, 1 said : “ You have one eye entirely; go hack and do what y ou can to save the other." Briefly Dr. K ennedy rem oved the ruined eye and treated Mr. Craigg with “ Kennedy's Fa­vorite B em edy” to build up the system , and the result was successful.

Dr. Kennedy’s great success as a surgeon is due to the use o f “ Favorite Bem edy” in the alter treatment.

MADJWF. MALTERAN'S WONDER­FUL POWERS. '

Youth’s Companion.One of tlie greatest of the world’s sing­

ers was Madame Malibran. Slie read musio at sight, and could sing anything she read.

“ You cannot play anything,” she once said to Ole Bull, “ be it ever so intricate, ■ but I can sing it after bearing it.”

The violinist accepted the challenge and play a caprice, full of technical diffi­culties. Malibran sang it correctly, though it was a labyrinth of musical phrases. “I cannot, even at this day, understand how she did it.”

This greatest of singer once challenged the greatest of violinists, Paganini, to a musical duel. It was at a soriee in Paris, and composers, musicians and singers were present. Malibran sang one of her Spirited and difficult arias, and then challenged Paganini to play it without seeing the music.

“Madame,” answered the violinist, bowing, “ how could I dare, with all the advantages you possess in beauty and your incomparable voice, take up the glove?”

But the company pressed him so strongly to “ dare” that he sent for his violin. After a simple introduction, in which he now and then gave the theme or Malibran’s song, he played the whole melody with such brilliant variations that tho amazed company applauded him as the victor. The most emphatic in proclaiming his mastership was Malibran.

The vocalist died a victim to her own ambition. At a great musical festival in Manchester, England, she sang a duet with a soprano who held a trill for a time with great effect. The soprano’s success so stimulated Malibran that she determined to surpass herself.

She forced a tone two notes higher, and held it with so much strength and for so long a time, that the audience, amazed, at the vocal feat, broke opt into tumultuous applause. The effect bronght on hemorrhage; in a few days the areit singer was dead.

VERY RICH MEN.Youth’s Companion.

The present age is notable for the rapid increase of enormous fortunes in the hands of a few men. This is more conspicuous, perhaps, in the United States than in any other country.

There are at least three men in New York whose wealth may be fairly guessed to reach nearly or quite $100,- 000,000. There are probably more than three men on the Pacific slope whose respective fortunes .reach or ex­ceed that colossal sum.

Those who are worth twenty millions are, of course, more numerous; while a man whose fortune is only a million, and whose income is therefore only sixty thousand a year, has come to be looked on as by no means a person of great wealth.

The accumulation of these enormous fortunes is a very modern fact with us. Two hundred years ago, there was probably not a man living on American soil worth a quarter of million of dollars. A citizen of Boston or New York in the last century whose property amounted to one hundred thousand dollars was accounted a man of large fortnne. Even thirty years ago, a millionaire was looked upon as exceedingly rich.

The growth of the country, the easy and infinite channels of speculation, the rapid spread of the railway, tele­graphic, and other similar systems, the development of mines, the fast increase of planted areas, have opened the way to the building up of fortunes which, not many years ago, would have seemed incredible.

These great fortunes are recognized and dreaded as a real danger. They concentrate in single hands a source of power which is not only vast, but is ir­responsible. Gold cannot buy happi­ness, or health, or the redemption of the soul. Yet its power of purchase is otherwise well-nigh unlimited.

The hundred millionaire can only spend a small portion of his income on Ms personal comfort andluxury, and that of his family and friends. Even if he loves show and splendor, takes delight in the erection of stately palaces, the laying ont of noble parks, the rearing of beautiful gardens, or rides a hobbyin making curious collections o f jewels or bric-a-brac, a surplus of revenue still remains, after gratifying every wish and whim, burdensomely large.

So he goes on accumulating. He in­vests and reinvests. He cherishes an am­bition for political honors; and buys up wire-pullers, caucusses, conventions and elections. He feels a raving for power, and absorbs the control of great railway lines. He desires to influence public opinion; and so purchases a majority of the shares of a widely-circu­lating daily paper, whose columns he “ inspires” with a view to his own aims and interests.

Thus, with the immense power with wMck his millions endow him, he be­comes a sort of dictator. He can do more to affect the prosperity or the mis­ery of the community than any gov­ernor or president. Acting solely in accordance with Ms own interests, he can ruin shareholders by tbe hundred, he can reduce whole regions to unpro­ductiveness as well as great manufac­tories to silence.

Such power, so won, so held,so used, is indeed a peril to the republic. But tbe way to avert tMs peril without vio­lating the feeedom upon which our in­stitutions are based, is a problem wMch, as yet, American statesmansMp haB not solved. It is not easy to see how aman who goes on piling up his fortune by methods not contrary to law can be checked or Mndered in so doing; nor is it easy for legislation to attack a power, made so formidable by its ca­pacity to scatter gold right and left without stint, in resisting any assault made trnon it.

WOODEN TOOTHPICKS.Inter Ocean. The wooden toothpick business has grown in large proportions. The little town of Sebago, on S'ebagolake, Maine, has a factory wMch turns over 1,000 cords of birch and poplar wood annually into toothpicks. It manufactures two wagon loads every day.
