lhe Athens, Ma., Jtfanner reports that many years ago Athens had a law forbidding the sale of liquors in quantities less than a quart. Whenever a man came along and bought a quart, he could not, of course, drink it all, so the barkeeper would go to the door and blew a cowhorn, and the 'loafers arennd town woald hasten to help the purchaser dispose of his quart. When by any chance, a gallon was furchased, the barkeeper would low a ram's horn, and then the boys would say to each other, "No use to hurry so, he's got a gallon."

Tbe women-sufTragists held a BMeting in New York city, which a Dutch lady enlivened by some new aigtunwota, and by some new applications of old arguments. She held that if Senator Mahone, who only weighed ninety pounds, coald bear

and serve in tbe wars with

so could any person of the r greater weight. Women

weigh in most cases ninety pounds or over, and therefore ooukl achieve the fame which General Mahanehas achieved. This leaves out of account, however, completely the part played by the heart in a military career. A woman's fighting weight

wonld sorely be reenlated -as a

man's really is by tbe condition of her nerves. "Ordinarily said a . WW - mW . . .

vsuani nooater, x weign onennndred and twenty pounds; bat when

Tm mad I weigh a ton." So it

wonld undoubtedly be with woman

if she undertook to serve' as a sol-

cher. When her blood was up, the

mmntest woman woold weigh as

much as three Mahones in time ofi

peace. But women of ninet pounds without Mabone's placi

woald simply encumber the battle

field. Mrs. Iliohan, the Dutch lady

that men frequently cheat in count

There is abundant evidence that

the amount of water on tbe surface of tbe earth has been steadily di

minishing for many thousands of

years, sto one donots was there

a time when tbe Caspian aea

communicated with the Black Sea,

and wnen the Mediterranean covered the greater part of the Desert of Sahara. In fact, geologists tell us

that at one period the whole of the earth was covered by water, and the fact that continents of dry land now exist is proof that there is less water on our globe now than there was in its infancy. This diminution of our supply of water is going on at the present day at a. rate so rapid as to be already appreciable.

The rivers and smaller streams of

our At Untie States are visibly smaller than they were twenty-five years ago. Country brooks in which men now Irving were accustomed to fish and bathe in their boyhood have in many cases totally disap

peared, not through any act of man, but solely in consequence of the

failure of tbe spnngs and rains

which once fed them. The level of

the great lakes is falling year by

year. There are many piers on the

shores of lake-side cities which ves

sels once approached with ease, but which now bardlv reach to the edare

of the water. Harbors are every

where .rowing shallower. This is

not due to tbe gradual deposit of

earth broughf down by rivers or of

refuse from city sewers, lbs har

bor of Toronto has grown shallow

in spite of the fact that it has been

dredged out so that the bottom rock

has been reached, and all tbe dredging which can be dene to the harbor of New York will not perma

nently deepen it. J. he growing shallowness of the Hudson is more

evident above Albany than it is in

tbe tide-water region, and, like the outlet of Lake Cbamplain, which

was once navigable by Indian canoes at all seasons, the upper Hud

son is new almost bare of water in

many places during tbe sammer.

Ia all other parts of the world there is tbe same steady decrease of water

in rivers and lakes, and tbe rain

fall in Europe, where scientific observations are made, is manifestly

leas than it was at a period within

man's memory.

What is becoming of our water ?

Obviously it is not disappearing

inreuzu evaporation, ior in mat

Pease rains would give back whatev

that, like the water of .the moon

The King of Ashantee, like bis neighbor, the despot of Dahomey, is aa adept at human sacri

fices ; but the latest exploit attrib

nted to him, of killing 200 young girls in order to get their, blood for

mixing mortar in the repair of a

httiUlinir, is almost past belief. In

civilized countries, monarchs, to be

sure, send ten thousands of young men to die on tbe battlefield, in or

Dower with warm blood, but the

barbarities of the ruler of Coomassie are of a different sort. The eager

The immunity of the notorious James family of Western bandits from prosecution arises, it is now said, from tbe fact that they reside in Kentucky, and do none of their robbing in that State. So long as they cross tbe border into Missouri to commit crimes, and are peacable when at home, the sentiment of tbe community is that they are ood citizens and ought not to be disturbed. Their home is in Nelson county, but whenever a stranger begins to make inquiries about them he is speedily made to comprehend that his life is in dan-

Some years ago, when an enormous defalcation took place in London on the part of the Treasurer of a public company, it came to light that he hsd for years avoided taking a holiday of more than a day or two, the object evidently being that no thorough examination of his accounts should be made. Thence forward that company, and many other companies, insisted on all their subordinates taking holidays, and their books are then thoroughly overhauled by competent accountants. Tbe case alluded to, and also that of a man who for years carried on gigantic frauds on the Crystal Palace Company, had the salutary effect of causing firms to rigidly investigate tbe accounts

of their cashiers, &c., irrespective of

wng service ana coraisi relations. A negro working in a cotton patch near Cabarrus county, Ga., picked up a nugget of virgin gold which weighs ninety-two pennyweights. Near the cotton patch are several small veins ; and the Reid mine, at which years ago was fonnd the largest nugget of pure gold that was ever taken from any mine in this country, and at which since that time a large number olf nuggets weighing from several pounds to a few pennyweights have been discovered.

A pathway only eighteen inches wide is cut into the side of Slate

Mountain, near Leadvillf, at i height, over an almost periiendicu-

The Fall Wheat Sowing : The fall wheat sowing in Southern Indiana has been finished. A gentleman of New Albany, an old wheat buyer, who has just returned from a trip through every county in Southern Indiana, said to a Ledger representative to-day : "Fully one-third more wheat has been sown in this part of the State this fall than in any previons season. I never saw the fall wheat looking so well as it does now. I have talked to hundreds of fanners in the past two or three weeks and they all agree that they hqye never seen wheat looking so premising as at present. If nothing befalls to injtiro the crop, Southern Indiana will harvest one-third more wheat next year than in any previous year. I found corn much better than I exported. I have seen many fields that will yield from sixty to seventy bushels to the acre. The crop will be better throughout the southern part of the State than was anticipated in September. Late potatoes will make a good crop much better than had been anticipated." IMPOHTANT TO TlUVKLEHS. Special Inducements are oflerod you by the Burlington ltoute.
