The Wealth of Boston.

S This city has nearly iiffcy National 'Banks, with a-capital ofioHy-three Millions bf dollars, -or nearly oneninth of the entire^ banking capital of the United Spates., .^he^yalusstion of the city is five Widrcd 'inillious of clollars, or

about

one-sixt eenth of the

entire pr6party of the-United States Boston has about the'salme amount of property as Maine New 'Hampshire, aud Vermont united, 'r 1he annual sales of irierchandis6in Boston: are one* thousand millions of dollars, ,or throe millions every day in the year. Fifteen hundred ships, .baiks and brigs' arrived during this year 18G8, and unloaded at the Wharv.es of the eit^v. Five hundred of these vessels brought cargoes of sugar and molasses- Jn some weeks twenty-five thousand bales of cotton arrived at Boson. If the receipts averaged that amount throughout the year, this city would take nearly onehalf of the entire cotton crop of the country. Four thousand cargoes of coal will be required here this year, or nearly one million of tuns.

Thirty ships, barks and brigs are on the way to Boston from the Mediterranean. Ten ships and eleven barks are bound to Boston from Liverpool and London.

The ship Herald of the Morning arrived at Boston last week with an entire cargo of grain and flour. This is the first cargo of bread stuffs alone ever received in Boston from San Francisco. About eleven or twelve years ago a ship loaded at Lewis wharf for San Francisco, with 0,000 barrels of flour. The same •ship has once or twice brought to ISew York, entire cargoes of breadstuffs from California.—Boston Traveler.

I'acific Railroad Towns.

Mr. Coffin, writii^ to the Boston Journal about the California division' of the Pacific, Railroad, says of Wadsworth Station: ,. .• •. "Four months ago, where ihe town now stands, there was utter desolation and profound solitude. The engineers who surveyed the line of the railroad looked out upon a sea of drifting sand hills... There was no vegetation excepting the wild sage plant, which thrives best where the soil is poorest. Not a tree or green leaf over this vast region. We have left the Truckee River, and area long distance from Humboldt Lake—the Dead Sea of the Nevada-basin, which lies northward. Looking eastward, we see a range of blue mountains which we are to cross,, -but even on their rugged sides there, are no for-

Velocipcdcs.

The attention of inventor*. seems at present to be directed to the construction of velocipedes, and new machines of every description are reported. Thus, a New York mechanic has devised a monocycle, or single machine, which consists of a wheel eight feet in diameter, with a tiro .-'ix inches wide, or two narrow tires on its outer edges, with two sets of spokes connecting with a double center, which fills the place of a hub, the two sides of which are two feet and a half apart. The operator is in the middle, and propels the wheel by a simple yet curious apparatus, in "which both his weight and his muscle arc brought into play.

In Detroit a three-wheeled velocipede has made its appearance, which is described as follows: The wheels are forty-two inches in diameter, and are propelled by mean3 of a double hand-crank, no treadle being used. On each side of the hub of the forward wheel is a grooved pulley, and attached to the straight portion of the crank are two more pulleys, the four being connected by belts. At each revolution of the pulleys the vehicle is propelled a distance of sixteen and a half feet, and when an ordinary rate of. speed is attained, it runs quite easily:' Its weight is for-ty-nine pounds, and the inventor claims that it will sustain two hundred pounds.—Philadelphia Ledger.

The New York ferries were used in 1868 by 82,321,274 persons.

Two such persons unite in giving existence to a poor, hapless bftby, •who is born in such a diseased state of nervous sensibility that all the f6'r ces of nature are a torture to it. "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on ed^e." What such children cry for is neither cold nor hunger, but irrepressible nervous agony—sometimes from fear, sometimes because everything in life is too strong for them, and jars on their poor weakened nerves, just as it does on those of an invalid in a low, nervous fever.*'

Now, the direction about putting a child away alone to sleep, Avithout rocking or soothing, is a good one only for robust and healthy children. For the delicate, nervous kind I have spoken of, it is cruel and it is dangerous. We know one authentic instance of a mother who was trained to believe it her duty to put her infant to bed in a lonely chamber and leave it. Not daring to trust herself in the ordeal, she put on her bonnet and, positively forbidding her servants to go near the child, went out for a walk. When

returned, the child was still,

and had been so for some time. She went up to examine. It had struggled violently, thrown itself over on its face, and a pillow had fallen over it, and it was dead from suffocation,

Nervous children suffer untold agonies from fear when put to-bed alone. No tongue can tell the htfrrors of a lonely room to sttch children. A lit-tler-delicate boy whom his parents were drilling to sleep alone, used to scream violently every night, and his father would come in and whip him.

No, mother before you makeup a plan of operation for your baby, look at it and see what it is, and use your own common sense as to what it needs. Look at yourself: look at your husband look at your own physical habits—at his, and ask what your child is likely to be.

A Xcw Story About Mr. irecley.

Mr. Greeley has never been accused of extravagance in dress, even by the Democrats. One morning, some years ago, habited in his usual quaint style,»he was leaning over the counter in the Tribune office eating an apple, when an Englishman, entered who had that morning arrived by steamer, and who, it turned out, was connected with the London Times, and had come to arrange some business between that paper and the Tribune.

Approaching Mr. Greeley with a very arrogant air, he said "Fellow do you work here?' "Yes, sir." •'Is Mr. Greeley in'?" "Yes, sir." After waiting a little, and seeing that the "fellow" seemed very indifferent to his presence and inquiries, he burst out, almost choked with indignation "Well,why the devil don't you go and fetch him'V'' "I am Mr. Greeley, at your service," was answered in the same calm and indifferent manner.

Johnny Bull's hat was removed from his head with alacrity, and when our friend left, he was stammering his confused apologies to the chief of the Tribune.

GOLD, according to Jatc foreign papers, has

been

.discovered in exten

sive deposits in Suthqrlaudshire, Scotland, ancl the excitement among the inhabitants rivals the commotion created in California and Australia. Among the crowds that thronged to the .place came, it is said, a group ol fish-women, from Brora, twenty-two miles distant, with spades in their hands and creels on their backs, thinking they had only to shovel up the gold and take it home by baskets full. The gold collected has not been very large in amount, only 8175 being as yet discovered, though 150 diggers were at work.

Bleeding,

which

was formerly a

favorite remedy in France, being prescribed even in cases of consumption, it is asserted, has now fallen decidedly into disuse. As an indication of the present practice, it is stated that in Paris, at the central bureau of the medical establishments forming the department of what is called "L'Assistance Publique," 6,151 prescriptions and 1,513 verbal consultations were given in the year 18G7. Out of these 7,644 cases there were only two in which bleeding was prescribed. In they ear 1852 the number of cases in which bleeding was prescribed amounted'to 1,256.»

NEW YORK, city has thirteen public markets covering an area of 892,502 square feet. The West Washington market is the, largest and occupies a. space of 619,7S2 square feet. There are also a large private market, rcr. cently established, and about -276.. smaller provision stores in different parts of the city. .. These pay an average rent of $1,000, and.make an nual sales of $1.5,000. About 2,400 wagons are to be found in the vicinity pf Washington inark^t alone, receiving and delivering market produce,

Whileriding in the" cars soon after his arrival in this country, President McCosh was thus addressed by an inquisitive stranger :. "You will not be offended' if I put the 'same, question to you which Pharaoh put to Jacob, 'How old art thou V" Dr. McCosh's aiiswcr was: "K }'ou divide Jacob's age by two, arid'.subtract five, you will have .my age."' The stranger was compelled to borrow a Bible, when he reached home, to gratify his curiosity.

A sixGDLAii report is furnished by the foreign papers of the trial of a girl in France, and her conviction on her own confession. Circumstances subsequently developed showed that the girl was innocent, and the Court of Appeal set aside the verdict, holding that the confession was obtained by intimidation. The pother of the accused girl had told her that if she persisted in denying the charge, she would be sentenced to fifteen ortwenty years' imprisonment with hard labor.

Kecently, in giving testimony before a Railroad Committee, at Albany, Mr. Jay Gould said "he believed that the railroads would ultimately, and, in a very few years, 'dry up' all the canals in the country. Freight was fast leaving the canals nearly all the rolling freight now went by railroads, and, were his road provided with the necessary equipments, he would like no better fun than to run a competition with the Erie Canal, on grain in bulk."

It lias been reported from the Michigan State Lunatie Asylum that some of the severest cases of insanity in men brought to the institution in irons, and manifesting the most violent symptoms, have been suddenly calmed down to a condition bordering on sanity by the presentation of a boquet gathered from the greenhouse.
