HK NEVBR TOLD A LIE. I saw him standing in the crowd— A comely youth, and fair! There was a brightness in his eye, A glory in his hair! I saw his comrades gaze on him — His comrades standing by; And heard them whisper each to each : “ He never told a He I” I looked in wonder on that boy, As he stood there, so young; To think that never an untruth Was uttered by his tongue. I thought of all the boys I’d known— Myself among the fry—' And knew of none that one could say “ He never told a lie 1” I gazed upon that youth with awe That did enchain me long ; I had not seen a boy Itefore So perfect and so strong. And with a something of regret I wished that he was I, Bo they might look at me and say: “ He never told a He.” I thought of questions very hard For lioys to answer right: •< How «lid you tear those pantaloons 7” “My son ! what caused the fight ?” * Who left the gate ajar last night?” “ Who bit the pumpkin pie. ?’’ What boy could answer all of these, And never tell a lie? 1 took him proudly by the hand My words of praise wore rife,; I blessed the boy who never told A falsehood in his life ; I told him I was proud of him A fellow standing by Informed me that that boy was dumb Who never told a lie !

A PLEASANT LOVE.

“ I have got some Dews for you, Maggie,” he said one day, about eighteen months after he had gained his commission. “ Guess what it is.” They were walking along the green lunes of Porlock, listening to the ceaseless murmur of the sea. as at intervals t hey had walked and listened ever since they could remember, at any rate, for she was six years.younger than her former playfellow. “ You are going to be promoted,” she said. “ Promoted, you little goose ! Noone ever gets promoted in the British army. Guess again.” “ You are going to marry ah heiress.” There was a lump in her throat as she said it. “Wrong again. No inestimable young person with green eyes, a turn-up nose, susceptible heart, and fifty thousand a year, was turned up yet. But it’s something nearly as good. I’m ordered to China!” “Oh, Alic!” she gasped, and burst into tears. It was very foolish of her, but then she pas only 16, and had not yet acquired the praiseworthy art of concealing her feelings. “ Why, whatever are you crying for?” he asked, and kissed away her tears. He’d kissed her ever since she was five, and thought no more of it than if she had been his sister, or the cat, excepting perhaps that it was nicer—which it was, no doubt. “I shall only be away five years, at most, and when I come back I’ll bring you a pig-tail and an ivory tooth pick, and a whole lot of thingy and—” “ Yes?” she said, listening attentively. “ But then you’ll be a young woman—--1 forgot—and * out ’ and all that sort of thing, and won't condescend to speak to a poor Lieutenant ; you will have all the Squires and fox-hunters about the place at your feet.” “Oh, no, indeed I shan’t, Alic,” she said eagerly. “ But I toll you you will. I believe you are a, born little flirt, and I shall come back and find you—” But she burst into tears again, and put up her pretty little hand as if to stop Ids teasing, which she could not bear just then. Jt seemed so cruel of him to laugh and joke when he was going away for five years. He did not seem to care a bit, and she could have broken her heart on the spot, and would have gladly done so, and thrown the pieces away so as never to be bothered with it again. Then, seeing her mournful blue eyes, he was merciful.

“ I believe I shall come back and find you just as'great a little darling as you uro now, and if we have got any money we’ll get married and live happy ever after, and if we haven’t we’ll get married and starve ever after—unless, of course, the heiress turns up.” “Oh, I hope she won’t! ” said Maggie, like a truthful little idiot. “Shall you overwrite to me, Alic, dear?” “ Yes, of course I shall, and I shall expect you to write back six pages crossed, and all that sort of thing, you know.” So Alic Granger went to China, and Maggie waited hopefully enough fora letter, but six months passed and none came. “Perhaps it takes longer fora letter to get here from China,” she thought, knowing as little about the means of transit and the time it took as ‘if the Celestial city had been in the moon. But a year passed and no letter came.

“ Perhaps he’s ill, or it’s miscarried,” she said tearfully, half wondering if it could he possible that a Chinese heiress had turned up, and that that was the real reason of Alic's silence. Two years passed, and never a word. “It’s too bad,'' she said, bitterly, and wondered ruefully if he had married a wife with a pig-tail. And the days and the months went by, and Maggie, journeyed on into womanhood, but no word or sign came from Alic Granger, and at last she gave him up altogether. Maggie was 20 years old when her father died, and the creditors did pounce down, and she and her mother were sold out. Mrs. Dunlop was offered a home in London by a sister who was well off and bad-tempered, and it was thankfully accepted. Maggio was informed that uhe must get her own living, which being preciHuly Maggie’s own opinion as M ell as intention, she advertised for a situation as governess. Now, Maggie had a very modest idea of her own merits, and therefore only asked for £25 a year and a comfortable home, so no less than five answers came to her announcement that she could teach English, French, music, and the rudiments of drawing. One of these answers came from Woolwich, and stated that Mrs. Marshall required a governess for her three little girls; Mrs. Marshall was a stiff-necked sort of woman, and stared at poor, little Maggie (who looked almost as childlike and twice as pretty as ever) through double gold glasses. Col. Marshall, her husband, was a nice old man, with a bald head and an iron-gray mustache; and there was a grown-up daughter, a Miss Patterson, Mrs. Marshall’s daughter by her first husband, who was really the mistress of the establishment, for Maria Patterson had a strong will, and she was an heiress. “A very nasty heiress, too,” poor Maggie thought, ami she was right, for Maria was skinny, and thought herself sarcastic, and always said nasty things to people who did not dare to say them back agikin.

One evening, when Maggie had been about a year at Woolwich, and she was sitting alone hi her school-room as usual for her pupils had just said good-night and been delivered up to the tender mercies of their nurse, Miss Patterson walked in, very much dressed and rather flushed and excited. “Miss Dunlop,” she said, “we shall have a few friends this evening, and I know one or two of them like an impromptu dance; will you be ready to come into the drawing-room and play if we should want you?” “I fear I cannot play dance music very well; I never keep time,” said Maggie. “ Yes, I feared so, and thought f would come and tell you, so that you might practice for an hour or two after dinner;” and she sailed out of the room, evidently considering the matter settled; and Y aggie meekly proceeded to practice the “ Mabel” waltz and the “ Flick and Flock ” galop, fhen she put on her

shabby black evening gown, andstuck a spray of white flowers into her golden hair, and waited patiently for a summons, hoping she would wait in vain. It very soon came, and with a roll of music under her arm, a flush on her innocent, frightened face, and a scared, almost hunted expression in her eyes, she descended and timidly opened the drawingroom door, and there stood still for a moment, staring in astonishment at the scene before her. There sat the heiress, with an eager, pleased expression on her face, and leaning over her, talking and laughing, and more handsome than ever, and sunburnt and soldierly-looking, was Alic Granger. There was no mistaking him. The color rushed to Maggie’s face, as if to say a hurried good-by, and then left it altogether. She recovered her self-possession, however, and walked with what she flattered herself was great dignity toward the piano. She felt rather than saw him raise his head and look at her, and the next moment he was by her side. “Maggie, my dear Maggie! Why, fancy you being here. Where did you come from ? I have been trying to find you out for months.” “ I thought you”—and then she did not know how to go on, so added, almost piteously, “I am the governess here.” “Are you! Oh, I see, then, that is the reason I’ve not seen you before, I suppose.” “ Do you really know Miss Dunlop ?” the heiress asked, coming up, and speaking in her coolest manner. Maggie wished sincerely that she could sink into her shoes and bury herself.

“ Whv, of course I do ; we have been play-fellows ever since we were born—haven’t we, Maggie?” , And Maggie, feeling she was backed up, answered bravely : “Yes.” “Oh, indeed ! how interesting !” then turning to Maggie: “Will you be so good as to begin a waltz, Miss Dunlop ? This was to be our dance, I think,” to Alic, and she sailed off with him triumphantly. lie came to her directly after the dance was over. “ I went down to Porlock to try and find out where you had gone to,” he said, “ but nobody knew.” “It didn’t matter,” she said, huskily, letting her fingers wander vaguely over the keys to make believe she wasn’t very interested in what he said. “Yes, it did—it mattered a great deal. Why, I’ve got a box full of curiosities for you—clubs to fight with, and a little heathen god or two, and a statue of Buddha, and all sorts of things. I told you I should bring you them home. Do you live here—l mean in this house ?” He said these last words under his breath, for the heiress came up, and the next minute he was carried off to dance with Mrs. Somebody at the other end of the room, but not before Maggie had nodded a reply to him. Soon after this, Miss Patterson came up to the piano, ajtd saying she wished to play herself , and that Maggie looked tired, dismissed her without her being able to get even another look at Alic. The next morning, to Maggie’s very great surprise, Miss Patterson came into the school-room before the children had assembled. “Miss Dunlop,” the said stiffly, “I should like to know where you say you met Mr. Granger.” “At Porlock. His uncle lived next door to my mother. He is a very old friend indeed”— “ Thank you. I merely wished to inquire, because, of course, you must be aware that it is not usual for any cne in your position to make herself remarkable by having long confidential talks with any gentleman who may visit the house.” _

“I don’t know what you mean, Miss Patterson !” Maggie said, indignantly. But Miss Patterson had swept out of the room without deigning to reply. Then Maggie went into her own little room, the one place she had in the world entirely to herself, and cried till her eyes were red and her head ached. The lessons did not progress that morning. Maggie was thinking of Alic, who was, no doubt, strolling about the common listening to the band and making love to the heiress. The children were more than usually stupid, too, and all the world seemed upside down, and all its ways turned crooked. Suddenly, at about 12 o’clock, just when Maggie was in the middle of expounding,, as best she could, the eccentricities of the French grammar, there was a knock at the school-room door. “ Come in,” she said. The door opened, and there stood before her astonished eyes the form of Alic Granger, and behind him was a man—evidently his servant—with a box on his shoulders. “ All right, Tim, put it down ; that’s right, now be off. There, I’ve brought the curiosities round, Maggie; I thought you’d like to see them.” “Oh! What will Mrs. Marshall and Miss Patterson say?” said Maggie, in consternation. “ Nothing to you for the next half hour or so, for I have just seen them safely on their way to Woolwich, and thought I should just get a quiet chat with you. My dears,” he said, turning to Maggie’s wide-eyed, open-mouthed pupils, “I’m quite sure you’d like to be let off your lessons, so I’ll let you off for half an hour; run along, my little dears,” and he opened the door for them, and shut it after them. “Oh, Alic!” she said, in fear and trembling. “ Oh, Maggie !” he answered, mimicking. “What did you mean by going away from Porlock, and not leaving any address ?” “I couldn’t help it, and you neyer wrote,” she answered helplessly. “ No, I never write letters; don’t know how to spell well enough. But I have been hunting for you all over the place, and never dreamed of finding you here. Now we’ll unpack the box ; I had it opened before I came, so it’s only astened by a lock.” But, Alic, they’ll never forgive me.” “Never mind; it doesn’t matter, because if you are good I’ll take you away next week. Besides, they’ll forgive me anything. I saved the Colonel’s life when he was in Hong Kong—at least so he says. There now, what do you think of these for fighting with ? Got them at Java on purpose for you ;” and he held up a pair of heathenish-looking clubs and brandished them over her head, and then proceeded to pull out the rest of the contents of the box and to decorate the school-room with them. “ There’s Mr. Buddha, and there’s—why, what’s the matter, Maggie ?” “Nothing; only you will get me into dreadful trouble you will, indeed. Miss Patterson came in this morning and scolded me for talking to you last night.” “Nevermind, she was only jealous,” he laughed. “Now tell me how soon you can leave here.” “ What for?” she asked, innocently. “Why, you haven't forgotten that we agreed to get married when I came back, have you, you little coquette ?” and he put his arm aroun I her waist, just as of old, and was not reproved. It was so very comfortable, she thought. “No, but you are engaged, are you not?”

“Yes, of course I am, to you.” “Oh ! but, Alic—” “Oh! but, Maggie”—and then he stooped and- kissed her, and nothing more could be said, for the door opened, and there stood the Colonel, and there stood Mrs. Marshall, and there stood Maria Patterson. “ Miss Dunlop !” screamed Maria, horror-struck. “ Mr, Granger !” paid Mrs. MfiMjJjaJl, in astonishment. "■*

“ Hoity-toity!” exclaimed the Colonel. “ What does all this mean ?” “ She must leave the house st once,” said the heiress. “ Of course she must,” Mrs. Marshall said. “ I never heard of such ».thing in my life—” . - *•. a “My dear Mrs. Marshal*” saftl 'Alic, looking as if he were beginning a speech, “it is all my fault. You told ine, and so did the Colonel, to consider your house my home, and I have done so. Miss Dunlop here was a playfellow of mine once, and when I went away we were engaged; but somehow we lost sight of each other when there were a few thousand miles between us, and it was the happiest moment of my life to meet her again last night, and so I took the liberty of calling on her this morning, and we were just arranging to get married next week when you interrupted us.” “Quite right, quite right, my dear Granger,” said the old Colonel, heartily, “you shall be married from here ” “ Oh! please let me go to mamma—do do let me go at once,” pleaded Maggie, finding her little tongue at last. “ I think it would be much more satisfactory if Miss Dunlop went back to her relations,” said the heiress, sourly. So they all finally agreed, and that very afternoon Maggie picked up her modest belongings and all the curiosities, and went to the well-off and bad-tempered aunt.

The bad-tempered aunt received her niece very graciously wlien she found she was going to marry well the following week. It is amazing how fond people are of rich relations, even though the riches concern them little personally. As for poor Mrs. Dunlop she could have jumped for joy, only she was too old for such violent exercise. “ Pray, miss, what arc you laughing to yourself about ?” asked Alic the evening before their wedding day. “ Nothing, Alic; only when you were away I used to think sometimes that perhaps you’d marry a Chinese heiress with a pigtail. ” “ The sort of thing you would think,” he said, grandly; “as it is, you see, I am going to marry a little girl without a pigtail; and I am very happy, my darling—are you ?” “ Very, very,” she said; and she was.

“ Bijah.”

It was rather mean in the boys, but they like Bijah and feel that he will forgive and forget. He had just commenced sweeping out when a boy came running around the corner and excitedly inquired: “Where’s Bijah—where’s the old man?” “I am here,” was the deep-toned reply. “Have you discovered a pugnosed boy on somebody’s doorstep ?” “ Here’s a telegram for you—charges 30 cents,” said the boy, as he handed it out. The old man turned a shade paler and bis chin began to quiver as he held the telegram between his teeth and hunted for change. When he had raked up four nickels and ten coppers he sat down to open the envelope, musing: “I know it is bad news. I dreamed of walking in a green meadow with an angel last night, and I thought her breath smelled of lager and she’d lost off her bustle. I guess my sister is dead. ” The dispatch read: Boston, Aug. 10, 1877. Bijah Joy—Mayor of this city leaves for Detroit this morning to have a look at your feet. Please flatten them out as big as you can. Tom Collins. Ho read it over three times without stopping, and, when he finally realized its full significance, he slid up to the corner to look for the boy. The boy was half a block away, waiting for an explosion. They stood and looked at each other for a long minute. They were like two statues. Neither smiled a smile. One could have heard an omnibus drop. Bijah at length forced a ghastly grin and called out:

“ Aren’t you the dear, good boy whom I promised six figs, ten yum-yums, and a pound of candy ?” “ Yepp,” was the ready reply. “ Then come and get them, darlingcome and feast and be happy. Oh ! how I do love boys !” “I’ll see you later. Please call at my office,” retorted the lad. Bijah made a rush, struck an awning with his head, knocked down some clothing and fell against a rack, and as he limped back to his den the clothier came out and said: “ If I was an elephant I’d eat hay and have a regular stall in some barn.”—Detroit Free Press.

A Three-Year-Old Heroine.

A remarkable feat was performed by the little 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, of Pelican, Minn., and niece of Mr. and Mrs. 8. M. Woodworth, of Audubon. While Mrs. Woodworth was on a visit to her sister one night, Mrs. Smith was taken alarmingly ill. Mr. Smith was away from home at the time, and no one near the house to render assistance save Mrs. Woodworth and the child. Mrs. Woodworth could not leave, so she called little Angie and asked her to go to the house of a neighbor, three-quarters of a mile distant, and summon assistance. The child did as directed in an incredibly short space of time, and upon her return with the neighbor it was found necessary to summon a physician. It was now nearly dark, and a storm brewing ; yet this bravo little heroine again took the road and went to the nearest neighbor’s house, a distance of one and a fourth miles in the opposite direction from her first trip, where she found a man to go for a physician. Ere her return to her home the storm had so increased as to render her progress very slow, and the vivid and constant lightning might well have stricken terror into the heart of many an older pedestrian ; yet this 3-year-old child bravely and faithfully performed her mission and returned in safety.— Audubon (Minn.) Journal.

An Astonished Legislator.

Ex-Gov. Seymour’s nephew, Mr. B. B. Miller, has just died in Utica. While Seymour was Governor in 1863 he gave Mr. Miller the office of Pardon Clerk—an office which he filled with efficiency and integrity. A member of the Legislature once applied for a pardon for one of his constituents, and sought to secure a favorable report from Mr. Miller. “ I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” he said, with the rascally bluntness of one who believes that every man has his price: “ I’ll give you a hundred dollars if you’ll get the Governor to sign that pardon.” Mr. Miller stifled his indignation, and, with a quizzical smile on his face, offered to attend to the business immediately. “We’ll go right in and see the Governor,” he said. Reaching the executive presence, Mr. Miller remarked, with a great show of interest, “ Gov. Seymour, this is the Hon. M . He is a member of the Legislature, and he wants a pardon for one of his constituents. He offers me a hundred dollars if I’ll get it for him. I’ll go you halves on the money if you’ll sign it!” The astonished member, taking in the situation, precipitately fled.

The Cost of the Nicaragua Canal.

Mr. O’Sullivan, who has always been prominently interested in the proposed Nicaragua canal, was at the State Department the other day, on diplomatic business connected with that enterprise. He says the work will cost $80,000,000, and can be completed within five years. No appropriation will be asked of Congress, but subscriptions opened to all parts of the world. He speaks confidently of the success of the work, the surveys for which have already been made’by the Vnited States Government. —6/ <h,inyton. ffqr. New York Tribune,

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Around the Farm. J Nearly all sick animals become so by improper feeding in the first place. Nine cases out of ten the digestion is wrong. Charcoal is the most efficient and rapid corrective. It will cure a majority of cases, if properly administered. —Rural New Yorker. Tint importance of means of saving liquid manure is apparent from the fact that in every 100 pounds of cow’s urine there are 65 pounds of water, 5 pounds of urea, 5 pounds of phosphate of lime, 12 pounds of sal-ammoniac and muriate of potash, and 10 pounds of carbonate of potash and ammonia. While the solid excrements from one cow, during the year, will manure half an acre, the liquid matter, properly applied, would fertilize three times that amount. The carrot crop is rendered nseless in many gardens by grubs eating into the roots. This takes place in many wellmanaged gardens. The best remedy that I have tried was to scatter a quantity of soot and lime over the surface of the ground before forking it over for the carrots. This works it into the ground, and keeps the soil free from all sorts of grubs for the whole season. The next best way is to sow the lime and soot between the rows and hoe it into the ground.— Cottage Gardener. A contemporary says: “Western cheese, like Western butter, is being made w’ith such close care and attention as to command respect on its merits alone, and it is rapidly wiping out prejudices against the geographical position of the points of production.” This is true. The tub butter of Ohio—that is, creamy extra—is equal to the best of that description that comes to market. The cheese also is as good as the best New York factory, and will be so acknowledged soon. Hand-Picking the Potato Bug.—l have about two acres of potatoes, and, after trying many ways of destroying the bugs, hit on the following plan. It is cheaper, better, and less work than to use poison. Take a large tin pan, say twenty inches wide by eight inches deep, and arrange a handle so that a man can walk upright and push the pan before him, close to the vines, and held in such a position as will best catch the bugs ; then with a thin piece of board about three feet long, shaped like a paddle, give the vines a gentle slap toward the pan, and you will knock most of the bugs into it.— Correspondence Boston Herald.

To prevent saddle-galls, the saddle should be lined with some smooth, hard substance. Flannel or woolen cloth is bad. A hard, finished, smooth rawhide lining, similar to those of the military saddles, is preferable. Then, if the saddle is properly fitted to the horse’s back, there will be no galls unless the horse is very hardly used. Galls should be washed with soap and water, and then with a solution of three grains of copperas or blue vitriol to one table-spoon-ful ot water, which will harden the surface and help to restore the growth of the skin. White hairs growing upon galled spots cannot be prevented.—Nebraska Farmer.

I will suppose the gate, when shut, to hang on the west side of the post, opening southward; dig the post hole at least three feet deep, flatten the east and west sides of the post (the part in the ground), then nail a short board, say 10x12 inches, on the east side even with the bottom of the post; now put in the post, placing it where you want it; fill in the dirt and beat it down thoroughly till within sixteen inches of the top; then take a two-inch board, 16x24 inches, nail it on the west side of the upper edge even with the top of the ground, and one like it on the south side, sixteen inches long; then fill up and pack the dirt well, and my experience is that your post will not sag.— lndiana Farmer.

About the House. A mode on the face may be removed by repeated applications of colorless iodine. A tabde-spoonfud of ground horseradish, added to every quart of catsup or pickles, will keep the mold from the top. For Cream Cake.—One cup of cream, one cup of sugar, two cups of flour, two eggs, a teaspoonful of soda, flavor with lemon. A Soft Home-made Dishcdoth. A nice, soft dishcloth can be made of candlewicking loosely knit or crocheted on large afghan needles. To Tebb Good Eggs.—Put them in water; if the butts turn up, they are not fresh. This is an infallible rule to distinguish a good egg from a bad one. Lard or butter to be used for pastry should be as hard as possible. If left on the ice fora while before using tho pastry will be lighter and better. It needs only to be cut through the flour with a chopping knife, not rubbed. A rough towel or a piece of flannel is better to wash the face with than a sponge. Tho roughness cleanses the pores of the skin, and if a little soap be applied will remove those little black specks, which trouble many people.

Varnish for White Woods.—Dissolve three pounds of bleached shellac in one gallon of spirits of wine; strain, and add one and" a half more gallons of spirits. If the shellac is pure and white, this will make a beautiful, clear covering for white wooden articles. Take out the steels of a corset before washing ; use one teaspoonful of borax to a pailful of hot water. Spread the corset on the washboard, and scrub with a clean brush and a very little soap. Bleach in the sun if yellow, but do not boil. Rub in starch, and when dry sprinkle thoroughly and iron while damp. Equivalents of Weight and Measure.—Wheat flour, one pound is one quart. Indian meal, one pound two ounces is one quart. Butter, when soft, one pound is one quart. White sugar powdered, one pound one ounce is one quart. Best brown sugar, one pound two ounces is one quart. Liquids.— Sixteen large table-spoonfuls are half a pint. Eight large table-spoonfuls are one gill. Four large table-spoonfuls are half a gill or one glass. Twenty-five drops are equal to one teaspoonful. A common wineglass to half a gill. A common tumbler to half a pint. Here is a recipe for a pudding, which may be made while preparing breakfast: Crumble four or five biscuits into three pints of new milk, add one cup of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, a spoonful of butter, and yelks of four eggs ; a little nutmeg when done ; spread the whites of the four eggs beaten to a foam with three spoonfuls of sugar and a little essence of lemon on top*of the pudding ; set it in the oven till brown, which will be in two minutes. Make sauce with one cup sugar, half cup butter, scant spoonful of flour, pint and a half water ; season with lemon. It will be delicious either hot or cold.

He Fired a Gun.

Old Mr. Blanchard, who lives out on West Hill, took down his son’s doublebarreled gun yesterday morning and went out into the. back yard. “I have not,” he said, “ fired off a gun for thirtyseven years;” and then he pointed the gun at the barn and fired. It does not definitely appear from the evidence which made the most noise—the hired man, who immediately emerged from the barn, carrying himself along with both hands, or old Mr. Blanchard, lying on his back between the ash-barrel and the fence, trying to hold his jaw to its place, or the stranger on the other side of the fence, with a brick in each hand, his hat caved in. and a black eye all over his cheek, calling out to know what “ hoof-bound, blear-eyed, four-legged,

turkey-trodden, shambling, cock-eyed, clodhopping idiot hit me with that gun ?” Mr. Blanchard has since been heard to remark that he didn’t want to fire a gun for thirty-seven years more.—Burlington Hawk-Eye.

Production and Population.

Ninety cotton operatives, with an average food-purchasing power each of S3OO (increased from S2OO since 1838 by increase of wages), will now purchase and consume farm products, or their equivalents, to' the aggregate value of $27,000 per annum; requiring the present labor of 135 farmers, producing S2OO per annum through improved machinery and processes (as compared with SIOO in 1838) over and above the subsistence of themselves and families. The ratio of industrial or economic equilibrium between cottrn-cloth producers and the producers of other commodities essential to a comfortable livelihood in the United States in 1876 was therefore approximately as 90 to 135; or, in other words, the labor of 225 persons is as effective in 1876 in meeting the demands of the country for cloth and food products as was tne labor of 691 persons in effecting similar results in 1838; and, as a consequence of this change in the power of production, the labor of 466 other persons have, within this time and within the special industrial sphere under investigation, been rendered unnecessary ; and they have been compelled to enter into relations with new wants and hew capabilities of purchase in order to find employment. Results similar, and possibly even more striking, are afforded by the analysis of other leading American industries. Thus, in the manufacture of boots and shoes, three met working with machinery can do at present what, prior to 1860, required the labor of six men to effect, while the individual or per capita consumption of boots and shoes in the United States has probably been more uniform during the same period than is the case with almost any other commodity. At a convention of the stove trade last year (1876) in St. Louis, it was also officially reported that under what may be called a healthy trade there was at least 33 per cent, greater present capacity for making stoves in the United States than the country requires; and that three men now, with the aid of machinery, can produce as many stoves as six men unaided could have done in 1860. In the manufacture of straw goods, 300 hands in one of the largest factories in New England do more with the sewing-ma-chine than what a comparatively few years ago required 1,000 to effect when sewing of the braid was done by hand; and the steam-press turns off four hats to the minute, in place of the old rate of one hat to four minutes. Similar results, derived from consideration of our industries as a whole, are also given in the last national census, which shows that, while the increase in population in the United States from 1860 to 1870 was less product of our so-called manufacturing industries during the same period, measured in kind, was 52 per cent., or near 30 per cent, in excess of the gain in population.— David A. Wells, in North American Review,

Brigham Young’s Future.

It is again announced that Brigham Young has made up his mind to move Mormondom out of the United States. But the public has read that piece of news so often, only to find that nothing came of it, that it will probably decline to put faith in this last report-. The people of the United States would be exceedingly glad of the opportunity to speed Brigham and his flock on their way out of the country, but they will not believe that the Mormons intend to move until they move. But it is to be said that the news this time seems to be more reliable than usual. It is a well-known fact that a couple of shrewd, sharp-eyed Mormons, high in the confidence of their brethren, have been spending their time for the last year or more inspecting the pleasant places lying between Utah and Northern Mexico. It is now reported, on apparently good authority, that Brigham has made large purchases of lands in Northern Mexico with the intention of taking possession in the fall, or, at the latest, next spring. It would be little wonder if this or some such programme -was carried out. For it is clear that peace and tranquillity are no longer possible to Brigham in his present fair domain. The Mountain Meadows massacre was the death-blow of Mormonism in the United States, That accursed “religious” system we read is still flourishing, and from that fact a strong argument is to be drawn in favor of the total depravity of the race.

A Japanese Eating-House.

The most popular of all the eatinghouses of the capital is the Matsuda, on the Ginza, at Kiobashi. This is really an immense establishment, having accommodations for 2,000 customers at once. It is owned by a wealthy woman named Matsuda Kane, by whom it was opened in 1873. No rooms are let for lodging purposes, and the patrons are mostly residents of Tokio, though occasionally ft rural party may be seen staring at the unaccustomed sights about them, to the no small amusement of their urban neighbors. The customer is given a numbered ticket on entering, by which his account with the house is kept. A few rooms are furnished in semi-foreign style, but most preserve their Japanese character, and the food is almost entirely native. The “ bill of fare” includes some twenty different dishes, ranging in price from 5 to 15 sen each, the charges depending largely on the state of the fish market. While no meat is served, fowls are cooked in a number of forms, and all kinds of liquors can be obtained. The Matsuda is opened about 8 o’clock in the morning and closed at 9 or 9:30 in the evening. The busiest hours are at midday and after sunset, when the fifty attendants are kept very active by the crowds and thirsty patrons. To the passer-by, the restaurant looks most attractive at when the rows of lanterns under the eaves, and the illumination of the whole building, showing through panes of colored glass, present a very gay appearance. — Tokio (Japan) Times.

Rich Men of the Pacific Coast.

The richest mining firm in the world is that of Messrs. Flood, O’Brien, Mackey & Fair, in California. Their interest in two Bonanza mines, at the present depressed prices, cannot be less, it is said, than $23,000,000. They own the Bank, of Nevada, with a paid-up capital of $10,000,000, and a reserve fund of $2,000,000. They are reputed to own $20,000,000 in United States bonds. Their real estate and other property in sight cannot be worth less than $3,000,000. Besides these investments, they own a controlling interest in several other mines. It is estimated that the entire assets of these four men would amount to $100,000,000. Next in order of wealth among Californians come the four principal owners of the Central Pacific railroad and other connecting roads of California—Stanford, Huntington, Crocke and Hopkins. These men are the largest owners of railroad property in the world. Most of this property is encumbered by the issue of mortgage bonds. But it is supposed that these four men have a clear margin of $50,000,000. Besides railroad property they own a great deal of land, town sites, alternate sections, country seats, city real estate, and so on. It is said that they are worth $12,500,000 apiece. Proppectiyely they are worth more.

BEATING A BURGLAR.

The Night Marauder That Crept Under Mlsa Johneon’e Bed, and What Befell Him. [From the New York Times.] Misti .Tohnaon, of Evanston, N. x., being an nnmarried lady,. not wholly unconnected with the milliner’s trade, and full of womanly independence, resides entirely alone in a small house containing but three rooms—a kitchen, shop and bedroom. It was about 11 o’clock last Friday night, when Miss Johnson stooped down and looked under her bed for a possible man, precisely as she had done on ten thousand previous nights. Whether she was, or was not, astonished at perceiving a large-sifted man lying under the bed, with the back of his head toward her, will never be known, but, at any rate, she gave no sign of astonishment, and did not even inform the man that she saw him. On the contrary, she resumed with great deliberation the nocturnal twisting of her back hair, and even softly hummed “Hold the Fort” with as much distinctness as could be expected of a woman while holding a comb between her teeth. Her back hair being finally finished, she opened her window, turned down the lamp until it gave forth a dim and modest light, and then stepped gracefully into bed, but not to sleep. That sagacious woman was perfectly well aware that the man under the bed, not suspecting that he had been discovered, would creep forth with the view to plunder as soon as he found that she was asleep. The bedstead stood in the corner of the room, and from the position of the man it was plain that he would creep out at the side of the bed. Miss Johnson, therefore, changed her usual manner of composing herself to rest, and lay, as she subsequently expressed it, “flat as a pancake,” with her head projecting over the side of the bed at the precise locality where she expected the man to appear. For at least half an hour she lay perfectly still watching for the man with a stealthy vigilance that would have done credit to an astute and experienced cat. Not a muscle or a hairpin of her frame moved, and her breathing was as low ana regular as that of a profound sleeper. At length the man, confident that she was asleep, softly began to worm himself from under the bed, moving after the manner prescribed by way of penalty to the original serpent of the Garden of Eden. Little did he imagine that a pair of pitiless gray eyes were waiting for the appearance of his head, while a pair of lithe and nervous hands were ready topounce upon his ears. It was not many minutes, however, before each ear was suddenly caught in an inexorable grasp, and his head began to oscillate with remarkable speed between the floor and the edge of the bedstead. Von Moltke himself could not have surpassed Miss Johnson’s tactics. She had the man completely at her mercy, and he was as helpless as though his head were in the stocks. At first his captor maintained a grim silence, but after she had bumped him sufficiently to ease her mind she addressed him upon the Wickedness and folly of seeking to rob her. In vain did the man protest that his motives were innocent; that he had mistaken the house, and had merely intended to take a quiet nap under his own bedstead, where the flies could not find him. Miss Johnson sternly told him that he could not make her believe any such nonsense, and that she would “ let him know,” and would also “ show him.” These threats were carried out by a renewal of the bumping process, until the man yelled for mercy*so loudly that the neighbors were aroused, and rushed to Miss Johnson’s house with the firm conviction that a gang of burglars had murdered that excellent woman, and were quarreling over the division of her spoils. It was not until a strong force, armed with clubs and hatchets, had recklessly entered the room that Miss Johnson surrendered her captive, with the remark that the sooner they took themselves off the better, and that if any other man would like to hide under her bed, she was entirely ready to knock a little sense into him.

The Dipper.

A writer in the “ Contributors’ Club ” of the August Atlantic Monthly tells of his dismay when, in speaking to some English friends about the star-group of the “ Dipper,” and of its being the only one of the constellations whose appearance really conforms with the name, he was met with the blank query : “ What is a dipper?” “Here,” he says, “were people with whom I could- talk for an hour about Locke, Berkeley, and Hume, who didn’t know, after all, what a dipper was !” When he tried to explain, the result was : “A ladle! We understand. Oh, yes. A ladle!” “In this case,”the writer adds, “ not only the words but the things varied ; that is, they don’t have ‘ dippers, ’ strict-’ ly so-called, in England.” When Prof. Proctor was asked by the editor of St. Nicholas to write a paper on the constellation of the “ Dipper,” he appeared embarrassed for a moment, and then said : “Oh ! You mean the ‘ Cleaver.’ We call that constellation the ‘ Cleaver ’ in England.”

Liberate the Impurities of the System. This can easily be done through the instrumentality of the searching blood depurent and alterative, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which incites those scavengers of the body, the kidneys and the bowels, to vigorous action. The first-named organs secrete impurities—where such exist—from the blood, which would otherwise poison it, and it is the office of the bowels to carry off the useless portions of the food rejected during the process of digestion, agd which, if retained, interfere with digestion and bilious secretion. Rheumatism and gout, both products of acid elements in the circulation, are remedied by the bitters, which will likewise be found a prompt though gentle cathartic. Both kidneys and bowels are invigorated, as well as stimulated, by this famous medicine, which possesses tonic properties of the highest order.
