Mr. Bfowa .iJl rer.ij generally in a comet mnnner; but he may, by ingeuiously altering fignrts, make delusive show. It is said that "figures will not lie." Naturally spon!,--inK they will not. bnfc in the hands 'A a

skillful acconntant tliey may be nsude to do so iu a very . surprising manner. The

book-keeper McUutahen, of the ucatn Bank, succeeded in robbing that institution of 866,000 before detectioa, while

the book-keeper Le verioh, the City

ifank, obtained X40U,(JU0 01 that institution. This, however, was an nnusuiJ haul, and will not soon be equalled, bnt it shows -what can be done. Ii lack of my could be uitred in ' extenuation, the book-keeper wotild have a powerful plea. This is always small iu proportion to the work required. The;, -if not and never will be paid more ttihr enough to eke ont a hard living. Some who have an unusually laborious and 1. -sponsible position may get what is tmlldd a high salary say $2,000; but such instances are very rare, and you can hire expert hands at $1,600. The hardest worked book-keeper

1 ever knew got only $2,JU0, and ma labors nearly occasioned- blindness. He had a very extensive set of books, and his neat hand and immense columns of figures were matter?, of admiration, bnt it was killing work. In large houses the book-keeper is occupied chiefly with the ledger, and has enough to do to attend to "posting aoeoiints" and keeping the books balanced. He will have his monthly balance sheet, commonly called a "trial balance, "ready by the first of the month, and the accurate balance between the debit and credit side will prove that the ledger has been kept oorreotly. .If an error, even of only a dimo, appear, it must be discovered at however great a cost of time and study, and I have known a book-keeper to spend three days looking up just such an item.

A freight bain broke away from the control of the brakes while rushing down at -i mad rate a heavy grade on a New Mtorican mountain rnllroad. At toe rate cf sixty miles an hour the engineer juiQped off and was landed seventv feet away.' The conductor in tho caboose at the rear, with Pawnee Charlie and hit squaw, ent the way-car loose and be d it with Ids brakes. But the brakesmen in tbe other cars had to lie flat on ton, and, for six miles, hang on for dear lift). While the engine wan plunging down the flight at a giddy speed, the fireman crawled out on the foot-board and poked sand through the sand-box, thinking that it might give the wheel) a gr : p upon the nils. As the train Bp 3d around a curve tbe velocity was so gnat tbtt the locomotive ran on one rail, and came within an aoe of losing its equilibrium. But it escaped all perils and on a long three-mile level it was at last brought to a stand-still. It made Pawnee Charley act like shake-knee Charley.

On the subject of preparing jdrinks for fever patients, an exchange says: "Drieks made from fresh or preserved fruitc. are sometimes useful in fevers. Bhnbarb tea is a very refreshing spring beverage. Slice about two pounds oi rhubarb, and boil for it quarter) of an hour in a quart of water ; strain the liquor into a jug, adding a small quantity of lemon.- peel and some sugar to ttihte ; when cold it is fit for use. Apple water may be made in the same manner. The apples should bo peeled and cored. Sugar should not be added to either ol the above until after the liquor is removed from the fire. In the absence ol fresh fruit, a pleasant beverage may be prepared by stirring sufilcient raspberry jam or currant jelly into the required quantity of water, straining the liquor before giving it to the patient." Agriculture In the Senth. A correspondent of the Buffalo Courier writing from North Carolina says: As to ogricultuve in this region, the New York farmer would look with disgust at the careless manner of tilling tho soft. The plows are not more than one-third the siae or weight of those used in the Nortb, and only one horse is attached. Sometimes the entire surface of the ground is scratched over two or three inches deep with these miniat? plows, but of ten two furrows are turned together for Bz-JL cotton row-, -and the spaces between are left undiatnrbed until the cultivator is started, after the crop is up. I have only once seen two horses attached to a plow, and that was in the plowing of a newly drained swamp. Bnt in this loose, sandy soil, it is very light for one horse to pull one of the small plows. The amount of land cultivated is estimated by the number of horses used. For instance, if you ask a man how much cotton he intends to plant he will tell you a two-horse," "five-horse," or "tot! -horse" crop, as the ease may be. Each horse is intended to cultivate thirty acrei of cotton, or forty acres of corn, including the plowing of the ground. The amount of guano and other commentiol fertilizers nsed in this section ia astonishing, and in my opinion is bound to impoverish and ruin the people if persisted in. Eaoh farmer attempts to culfcvxte fully twice as much land as he has labor to properly tend, and lie tries to make up that deficiency with guano, bought on time nt ruinous prices, for which he gives a hen ontlie anticipated crop as security. The result its that three times out of five his crop will little if any more than pay his fertiliser bill, and he comes out at the end of the season just about whore he began, except that his land is poorer and will require n heavier application of this poverty-pro-duomig each time. The acreage of cotton raised in this section is very great, most of the farmers planting nothing else outside of their gardens, in which they mako a great in intake, as they can rate a their own provisions much cheaper than they can bny them. A Story of Lincoln. A pioneer who entertained Lincoln and Dick Yates at his humble homo in Illinois, many years before the former bee vmo a great man, tells the fcllowing story : " We were nert very luxurious in our habits in those days, and at 3inner had large, brown, earthen bowls of mili at each person's plate instead ol tea or coffee. Tho house hue! a puncheon floor, and the table was liable to roe k a good deal. Wo often put a chip under a leg or two to keep it steady, and ltad done so that day, bnt Liueolii, in trying to get his lugs nnder the table, had knocked the chip out. Ho sat next to Yates, who vns drtsased with great care in a suit that fitted him like wax. Diavctiy Lincoln went to reach f;r Homeijljing, and withdrawing hwstritt Inocked

over his bowl of milk. When he tried to catch the bowl lie tipped the table, and, the chip being gone, it went down cm that side materially. "Sates was at tho lowest place, and in a second the milk from Lincoln's "bowl went pouring into his lap. Ho jumped np and Lincoln jumped up, blushing to tho roots of his hair; but it was no use ; the damage was done, tad poor Yates' trousers were spoiled. My mother tried to make Lincoln easy by taking all the fatdt on herself, saying "that she had no business to set the table where it would bob over In that manner. ' Much obliged to you, Aunt Lizzie,' raiid be, 'but ivs nothtnj but my blamed awkwardness, and it's no use 'to apo'ogizo for me.' " Blood Letting In England Fifty Tears Ago. Ths Phftmncopcnia of fifty years ago contained the names of 444 drugs and their preparations, whilst that ol to-day contains no fewer than 803. The former did not contain the names of quinine, morphia, or iodine, three of the most commonly used drugs of the' present day. In fact, so frequently are they prescribed in one form or other, tha t oue wonders how the doctors managed without the two latter. Quinine was in use to a ceitoiu extent, though not otfloinlly sanctioned: but where one grain was then used I believe a hundred are now. The system of treating many diseases has intleed been completely revolutionizeil. Speaking generally, the practice used t bo to pull down the system; now it is to build it up by a freer use of qui nine and other tonics. Bnt in nothing is the change more striking than in regard to the common habit of blood letting, as it was called. I suppose that in the lost century it w as eveu more common than it was at the tiruo we speak of, so that if a person fell down ia the streets from exhaustion he was mire to be bled. Though the practice was becoming more restricted, yet it was veiy prevalent fifty years ago. I well remember my brother suffering from rheumatic fever, and seeing Mr. Gardoia, one of the best surgeons in Salford, draw a basin full of blood from his arm a thing which no sane medical man would do at the present day. Not only was tho lancet used in this way, but enpping od tho application of leeches was ewutmually resorted to in cases of toflammation, which it was supposed otherwise impossible ti subdue. It was no wonder if the dojtors prescribed such treatment that the public believed in its utility. It was no uncommon thing to be told by persons that they found it conducive to their health to be bled periodically, and that such treatment was necessary for them. I remember a delicate gentleman who would always attribnte-his not feeling well to having neglected Dteperioclical blood letting. No wonder he died in the prime 01! life. -jRetniftiscence ojFifanchetter, Month Penmanship.

The great Sutro tunnel, cut to relieve ihe celebrated Corns tock mines at Vir ginia City, Nevada, of the vast quantities of hot water which is encountered in them, affords an outlet to 12,0(10 tons every twenty-four hours, or about 3,000000 gallons. Some of the water, as it finds its way into the mines, has a temperature of 195 degrees, while fou.. miles from the month of the tunnel the temperature ranges from 130 to 136 degrees. To obviate the in convenience which would arise from the vapor such . vast quantity of water would give off, ths flow is conducted through the entire tunnel, four miles, in a tight flume made of pine. At the point of exit the water has lost but seven degrees of heat. ' Sixty feet below the mouth of the tunnel the hot water utilized for turning machinery belonging to the company, from whence it is carried off by a tunnel 1,100 -feet in length, which selves as a water-way. Leaving the wiwte-way tunnel, the wuter flows to She Carson River, a mile and a half distant. This hot water is being utilized for laany purposes, The boys have arranged several pools where they indulge in hot baths. The mine's and others ntse it for 'laundry purposes, and arrangements are being made whereby a thousand acres belonging to the company are being irrigated. It is proposed to conduct tho hoi. waiter through iron pipes, beneath the surface of the soil, near the roots of thousands of fruit trees which tire to be planted, and in a similar manner give the necessary warmth to a number of hot-honsee to be used for tho propagation of early fruits and vegetables.

THE M188188IPP1 PUN. (reels nevelitttom f lis Infaunleai Made try e Kan. John II. I.yncfcIIow Klectioia a Repreaetatative from tbe Shoeairtiuig Dlatrlcl " Was Koverscd. The Hon. John B. Lynch, of 3T itches, Miss., who did good service inOriugfoes, passed through Chicago, the other lay, and was interviewed by a reporter for the Inter Ocean. Mr. Lynch made a strong fight for re-election to Congress last fall, as he had doitte befor), bat was counted out by the Democrats, and the seat that he was entitled to fpvea to John Chalmers, notoriously known as "Fort Pillow" Chalmers, on socouut of Ms connection with thtit jhonibie butchery during the war. In reply to a question, Mr. Lyaeh said that he had not been in. Bftwiasippi fear several weeks, but was now -m bis re turn theio; that he had bcxinspeudtag several weeks in preparing hit easj for presentation to the House of Bdprescntolives at its next session in lttcomber. " What are the main features .of your case, Mr. Lynch?" ask ad the reporter. "There were nine election preeini to," said he, " at which tho polls were not open, and no election, of courso, was held. In all of th;se precincts my friends were in the majority. There irere two precincts at which an election was held, and where everything; pa wed off peaceably, at each of which precincts the Bepublioans hod a large jnejority, bnt from which returns were nsver made; but actually tin votes from said yirecincts were suppressed. I'vefc, excluding these precincts, the whole cumber of votes polled in the disiriot was 21,172, of which number I claim to have received at least 15,000. The testim ony taken in the case goes far to prove ibis. ''Itithe counties of Aeutmj, Claybourne, Jefferson, Washington and Wijkinson not less than 5,000 votes rere counted as rctnrned for Chalmers that were polled for me. The tosiimony taken in the counties of Washington and Aditrns, especially, in support i. this charge, is conclusive, in every way. Giving Chalmers the benefit of these fri .nd the vote of the district, as ret .irneel by the frecinet Inspectors and Cot jatjr Commissioners, was as follows : L;ynjh 10,915; Chalmers, 10,257. . As wfc-.aetd by the Commissioner to tht .scwary of State the vote was as fr''.jws: Lynch, 5,393; Chalmers, 9, 17 The numbe r of votes rejected by tv j Commissioners was as follows: I-roh, 6,622; Cuahasrs, 1,085." "Whit' reasons were assigned for this whole de rejection of votes?" -'The cldef reason," said thei Mirsissinpi gentleman, "was on' account of seme printers' (lashes. The objectio a is too frivolouS for anything. The law does, indeed, prohibit any piote rial designs on the ballots, just ati eirx ilar laws are on the stamte books of Dire ois, Ohio, Pennnylvanisr and nearly all the other States; bat ia this case there was nothiig of the kind. There waa simply at tlie foot of eaoh ticket, a printer's dish, such as 'is nsed between article in newspapers. Yet, on this account, the votetvag declared fraudulent, though the dashes, believe ton, were not as largo as those wure (indicating) between the Inter Ocean editorials.' "Were there any other reasons, so flimsy as that, advanced?" "Another reason wits that the election clerks failed to send up, in sxaie instances, with the re tarns, the lint of the names of those who voted, but tliis made no difference when it happened on the other side of the house, A third reason was that, in some precincts, the precinct officers did not state for what oft oes Lynch and Chalmers were candidates fearful omission, truly. "By way of illustration I will give you an illustration: In the Bolivar pred ict, in Bolivar county, the'-returns vere made about ns follows: John Ii. Ly ach received 311 votes; James R. Chalmers received 45 votes, The astute Com; oissioners decided that this was an in sufficient return, from the faot that they had not stated what offices the men vere candidates for, and they therefore threw out the whole vote ol the precinct. In one precinet in Jefferson county, where I hod aliout 200 majority, the inspector who had been appointed to carry the letorn i to the county seat waa overtaken, on the road by armed men Democrats, of coarse and the box forcibly taken ont ot his possession, and, with it, oolite nts, destroyed. I have in my possession an affidavit ol' an election officer wte was a Democrat, in sulxtwtiation of this assertion." Mr. Lynch said farther that he wi s of opinion that public sentiment fn Ms district was decjdeellj' averse to Chain ers' pretensions. " Tha Vicksburg llarald," said he, "the leading Democratic piper in the district, admits that Chalmers was fairly and honestly defeated in spite of everything that was done in Ids bel lf and that it reflects no credit on hii 1 or his party or his State to be olohaiiig seat to which he lias no equitable title." "Whot eaooaragement are yim receiving, Sir. Lynch, ia malting jnnr contest ?" " My case is full and complete, the testimony ocmclrjf live, and I have not the least doubt but what I will be s'lccsssful in the contest. At any rite, I am uncompromisingly determiner, to fight the ease oat to the bitter end." " Is there amy encouragement for the Bepuhlieun party in the South ?" " I believe thoro is. Giirftcld's e lection is construed by tho liberal and nservative portion of South arn Dear ex rate as a rebuke to the method a by which the South has been made solid. Many of them are now satisfied that the Democraticparty can .nover get tha asoen leney in this Government as long us the South is solidly Democratic through fraudulent methods," " Do you see any hope for the psrty in the Mnhono movement ?" ' Yes, sir. At least to the extent of a fair ballot, and that is the main it rest we have in Mali me. The Mahone na oyement will have t. good effect in ailing our efforts in this direotion. J believe Mahone ought t- be sustained sue encouraged by th National BepuUteau party and the administration for the moral effect it will havo on the oolared people of the South, wtio see in Mahone protection against the Bourbon element that has kept them down so long, " Do you see any indication of a break in the lfoaocrncy of Mississippi in tympathy with the Mahone movement "There is some evidence of it, bat it has not yet assumed shape.
