APHORISMS.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation. —Henry Ward Beecher. The necessity of circumstances proves friends and detects enemies. —‘Epictetus Nature makes no vagabonds, the world makes ns respectable.—Alexander Smith. To bk content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches —Cicero. All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinkings. —Charles H. Parkhursb Confidence is a thing not to be produced by compulsion. Men cannot be forced into trust—Daniel Webster. Theme Is in every human countenance either, a history or a prophecy, which must sadden, or at least soften, every reflecting observer.— Coleridge. The most snblime psalm that can be heard on this earth is the lisping of a human soul from the lips of childhood.— Victor Hugo. These are many more clever women In the world than men think for; our habit is to despise them; we believe they do not think because they do not contradict ns, and that they are weak because they do not struggle to rise up against us. A man only begins to know women as he grows old, and for my part my opinion or their cleverness rises every i%*.—Thackerav.

Knows a Ship at Sight.

To a sailor, every vessel Is nal. No two vessels, even of the same class, are alike to him. The man who keeps a lookout in the Portland Observatory can recognize over 100 different vessels that belong to that port the minute he sees them twenty miles away through his telescope. He says there are not two vessels that ever were alike in shape or rig. “You see the back of a friend on the street some distance away, and you know him by the cut of his jib, ” he says. This is almost literally true in the case of vessels. An old sailor sees the difference without always being able to explain just wherein It lies.

A Woman’s Curiosity.

The characteristic curiosity of a woman at Sedalia, Mo., induced her vc onceal herself on the roof of a building luring the session, of a secret order to observe an initiation through the skylight Bbe betrayed herself by an unucky sneeze, but escaped over the ad olniug roofs. The Knights of Pythias United Workmen, and Masons use he aamo hall, and the opinion prevails that the woman is well up in the mysteries o' these societies.

Malay’s Tin.

It is said that half the tin In the world '% exported from the Malay peninsula where mining is carried bn almost efl* tlrely by the Chinese. The mining is th.it of flood tin, and thametal is taken froi, the lowlands near the mountains, wher It is fopnd in pockets ten to twvntj fee' or morP suriace.

A GOLDEN NUGGET.

A strange novelty is this golden table corn, with its beautiful rich cream color. It is claimed by those who know it thst it is very sweet, eßrly and tender.'and a superior corn. We notice Vick recoin mends it very highly. The Flora! Guide, which I'ome- to ns bringing boqu tof Carnations on the front cover, with * splendid bunch of Brilli >nt Poppies’ on the back, bives full les r, rpiion of this new corn, which is only 15 cents n packet. Vick’s Floral Guide is worth a place in the home of snvone who expect to make a garden the coming soring. Rv all means send ter. cents to .fame Vick’s Sou’s Rochester. N, Y.. for the Guide, and you cau deduct this amou:A from your first order It will pay yon well.

Can Teach the White Man.

J. D. Bradford, connected with the hoctaw Railway Cpmpanv, Indian Territory, says the Choctaw Indians have no equals in practical politics in any land in the world Last winter when Gov Jones, a young half-breed, was elected Governor, wo witnessed one of the great ■st campaigns ever fought When our railroad pierced the coal mines of the hoc taw .Nation, several of the old rad men attempted to get possession of most of the mines and make us pay dearly lor the coal. They failed and have cried “corporation” ever since. So when th« gubernatorial candidates began to show their hands, Jones took the high moral ground that he was against our railroad and all those who favored it. He went In the fight with this sentiment as a watchword and was elected, but it was an exciting fight. During the campaign if Jones wanted to communicate with ,a nu n fifty miles away he would send a man with verbal messages. The other candidates followed this example and no written letters figured in the campaign, The day before the voting a messiah story was turned loose in the sections of the nation where Jones was not popular and the people left to see the messiah, thus losing their votes. On this same day a number of leading Indians, who were working against the election of Jones, were summoned to Washington by bogus telegrams to talk with the great lather. And so it went. Every conceivable trick was resorted to After Jones had been declared duly elected and had taken his seat It was dl covered that one precinct which gave him 125 majority was inhabited by less than sev-enty-five people.

To Distinguish Steamers.

The funnels of different steamships ire characteristically painted to enable people of modest nautical knowledge to distinguish thorn A Curiasdor has brilliant rod funnels, with broad black bands around the top. The Havre Line is the same, but has two narrow black bands In addition. North German Lloyd vessels have stacks of a lovely unbaked biscuit-ware tint, very dainty and sum mery to look at, and the distinguishing mark of the White Star Lino is yellow, with a black band. The Guion and In man lines both have black funnels, th« former banded with red and the lattei with white.' A very few minutes wil familiarize any one with these differences and add a special interest to the passing vessel met on an ocean voyage or viewed from a bathing beach

Twelve Big Towns.

Taking the latest official enumeration, the twelve leading cities of the work stand in this order? London, Paris New York, Canton, Berlin, Vienna Yoiko, Chicago. Philadelphia, Si Petersburg, Constantinople and Cai cu.Ua.

The Tramp and the Farmer.

A tramp who was making his slow and Bainful way along the king's high road, the shoes he had stolen the day before being a size too small for his feet, was overtaken by a farmer in his wagon. As there was plenty of room In the vehicle the tramp asked for a lift, but the farmer not only refused this slight favor, but boldly told him that he ought to bo jailed for a vagabond. He was driving away. When the poor but honest man, wh ! would have boen willing to take a place as casbier of a bank if he could get It, felt to cry but In his sorrow. “Alas! but how hard-hearted the world has become! He would have been no worse off by giving me a lift, whilst I— * At that moment team, wagon and farmer went through a bridge to be druwned in the stream below, and as soon as he recovered from his astonishment, the wayfarer patted himself on the back and exclaimed: “Ah! there, I eter, old boy, but don’t you know what’s good for you, though!” MORAL. What may at first appear to be a hard ship often turns out to be a fat take.

An Antiquated Toad.

While a large fir log was being sawed in a Michigan mill the other day, something strange happened. The outside slab and one board had been cut off, and the men were turning the log over preparatory to squaring it, when they were surprised to see a large toad poke his head out of a hole where he was imbedded and where he had barely escaped being cut up by th« saw He was completely Incased in the woed, with no possible means of ingress or egress. As the log was the third up from the butt of the tree, his position mast have been about sixty feet from the ground. There Is but one way of accounting for the fact that he was found In the position named. He had grown up with the tree from Infancy, and was probably hundreds of years old when the saw awoke him from his long nap.

Their Size Against Them.

In spite of the marked improvements m the method of cutting ready-made clothing, men above six feet high still find it exceedingly difficult to be fitted in made-up garments. There are plenty of coats and trou ers for men with abnormal ab-’omens, but very few coats or trousers for men with unusually long legs and arms. The shirtmakers pay no hoed to any measurement save that of the neck, and the six-footer whoso nhek measurement is below sixteen inches finds the sleeves o. r the readymade shirt nearly half-way to his: ibows Shoemakers do better. A man wearing a shoe anywhere below eleven may be fitted at almost any price. The cheapest shoes, though running a: high as 1. shillings, are nearly all too broad for aland or foal

A Vanderbilt as a Bookworm.

George Vanderbilt, is a silm-bulb oallid-faced man. of retiring manner, with bluish-grey eyes ana a browt mustache. He is only nine and twenty and the master of *10,000,000, yet h« eschews society and leads the life os a conscientious professional bookworm, pouting over moldy and obscure voi yet priceless editions of the classics in the luxuriant library of his Fifth avenue mansion. He has a pretty turn for art, which, however, does not prevent his attending the German opera on occusions, and he is an expert canoer. He is not particularly robust, but, being a bachelor, he is the cynosure of all the match-making mammas about town, to whom he gives wide berth, and is building a home in North Coro Lina which promises to be a revelation. He is said to be writing f historical novel. I - * ~ *rr

•‘A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

THE COURT OF LYNCH .

Bhat a Foreign Paper Sags of an American Institution. The Edinburgh Jud cial Review says. In a recent article: Probably lynch law is indigenous to America i soil. Some oi its refinements may be due to red Indian sources. Its Ly urgus was on* John Lynch, of Irish rave, a farmer, perhaps a justl e of the peace, who nourished n Virginia or Carolina in the seventeenth •r eighteenth century. It is said that he was r< cognized as judge over a wide d strt t, and chastised offenders by summary floggings, a punishment lynch law in its modern development rotalna The court of lynch consists of a law ess multitude, occasionally drunk, always savage, impelled by a common desire to maltreat or kill some ob.,ect of theii dislike. lire number of judges varies with the force necessary to carry oul their will. For they are accusers, judges, executioners, and legislstore ail in one and at once. Its procedure cannot be reproached with delay. No charge, is made, no proof taken, no defense allowed. In tho case of a foreigner Ignorant of the language, any opportunity of defending himself would be clearly superfluous. Even the identity of the accused is left to chan e. Everyth nr is arbPrary and undefined. Occasioiiall , to Induce confession, torture 1 ■ resorted to. The punishment, however, is the most interest Ing, and t is only protra ted part of the proceedings. At San Antonio, on the 7th of March last, lynchers dipped an' alleged thief in petroleum, set fire to him, 'lighting up the surrounding country,” And after a sufficient enjoyment of hie agonies, diewhim up by the neck. Few Jountries have been free from occasional outbreaks of an excited populace. In >she nit‘d States, howeve-, tho tendency drifts toward creating the cas'ia 1 will of any temporary majority into a standard of right and wrong. \\ hat val uo Is Set on individual liberty in a community like New (Irieans, where killing is no murder, if a sufficient number of citizens of standing take part in it, aad subservience to the “ciivum ardor prav* Jubentium” Is the spec al duty and virtue of ministers of justice.

A Curious Italian Custom.

Ye Western maidens who receive the slavish adoration of admirers who court you in tho parlor, apart from all prying eyes, listen to this from “Sunny Italy:” “At the far end of Naples lies tho Church of Santa Maria Auntlata, which once a year, on the day of Our Lady, wakes up into a brief life and excitement. In a silent row before the high altar kneel thirty girls, all In black garments, with folded hands, and eyes fixed on tho picture of tho Madonna bofore them. These are orphans from the neighboring foundling asylum, and once a year all those who have reached tho age of 18 are brought hero to the church, and may be choson in marriage by any honest man whose papers are in order and whose character Is good. At the door eading to the sacrbty leans a gray-hoaded priest, the head of the asylum By and by a man makes his way from the back of the church and hands him a little packer of papera These the priest reads carefully, and being evidently satl-fled, he gives back the papers and leads tho candidate toward the row of girls. All eyes are fixed more steadfastly than ever on the altar, all their hands are clasped tighter together, their faces turn a shade paler, their hearts beat quicker as the young man walks siowly along the row. At last he stops. His choice is made. Ho stretches out his hand with a little smile. Tho girl rises, puts her band into that of the stranger, and togother they disappear into the sacristy. The ice being ihu broken, other suitors come forward.

Laziness, shiftiessness, ignorance and cunning of the R ssia i people are fruits of the methods of state and church. Under such rule it is not strange that the women are In the mass held as serfs, and that their lot in life is bounded by degra ation, long-suffering and sla isb subjection. Not a great whilo ago the wife of a well-to do peasant In Russia went to one of the district courts and demanded protection from the cruelty of her husband, lly competent witness es. she proved that he had bound he: naked to a stake in the street during the cold weather and asked the passers by to strike her; when they refused, lie struck her himself. He moreover fasened her to the ground, piled heavy stones upon her and broke one of her arms. The court declared him “not guilty.” It cduld not afford, it said, to "teach women to disobey their husbands. ” Another case cited was that a peasant In Russia who thought he had reason to doubt the fidelity of his wife To punish her he harnessed her to a cart with a horse. He then, with a friend, got into the cart and drove this team eleven miles-not the wbtu When ho returned he shaved her head, tarred and feathered her and turned her out of doors. She went to her pari-h priest for advice and consolation He ordered her back to her brutal husband and prescribed for her more whipping An appeal to tho courts resulted in a nonsuit I Isn’t Fashionable to Pay Debts. Speaking of English peculiarity . there is no place on earth where the financier become-i so puzzled to know how the great folks manage to live Take for instance the fat. genial, witt old Duchess of Teck, penniless, as ever, one knows, bankrupt, in debt, and yet money ‘lows through her plump hands like water. §he is said to be the brig ■ est talker in Great Britain, and strinc her enormously stout neck and arm with glorious jewels, worth a king s ransom. It is well enough to believe that densely dull or overambitious trades-people are willing to supply a ducal establishment for the prestige such patronage bestows, but surely with so lavish a lady as her grace of Teck the price would be too high for any one es tablfshment to bear a great length bf time. But then titled English people thrive on debt. Men and women are scarcely counted fashionable who pay ar they go; and as all of one's acquaintances and friends are in the same con dition, there is nothing to be ashamed of or to worry over in owing twice the value of one’s entire property.

Mr. Hexter Nr tit. sovrelary of the Association of Wool Manufacturers, in an article in the I3ul'eX in of the association, endeavors to refute the evidence heretofore presented by Mr. David A. Wells in the columns of the Wcrld, to the effect that our all but prohibitory duties on the importation of wool greatly encourage the use of shoddy, cotton and other inferior subs stitutes for wool in the manufacture of uhat purports to be woolen clothing, by asserting—- “ That, gauged by the standard of relative wages, the American r> ople are the most cheaply cloth>dof any peopled’ And iu support of these assertions he says: “The poor man car buy in any one of the reputable clothing houses of Boston a complet suit of all- wool clothing for $lO, and further, that Mr. Wells can buy u suit of clothing for $7, guaranteed to be nothing but sound wool, or be can buy a uit of clothes for $5.50 with a guarantee that there is not a particle of cotton ir the fabric, and that more than 70 per centum of its constituents is sound I vool just from tho back of tlie sheep.”

The attention of the Dry -Goods Economist, of New York, one of the best authorities on the subject of textile fabrics in this cduntJy, having been called to these assertions of Mr. North, the conductors of llmt paper mstituted u special inquiry, and as a result, they have, in a recent issue, sat down on Mi. North in the following conclusive i.ul emphatic manner: “U«.on the subject of clothes few greater romances are told than upon the question of cost, so that one hears of a suit of clotheajor mqn being offered for $7.50 e..tire y of wool from the sirtsfefhe back, and anither at $5 that contains a major percentage of pure vool and does not contain a parti, de of cotton. These statements eai on their face their own absurdity, for nffeuch prices it is all hut impossible to purchase, in the ■>rdinarv channels of business, a 'nan’s suit of heavy weight dotbifig that is made out of any substance, let alone such sn expensive article as pure wool. “Apart from the cost of the

'oods th* price of a suit of c'othes is composed of the cost of making .ud the cost of distribution. A very low estimate for mnking and trimming with the cheapest linings and o 1 her findings would be $2.50, and rs nothing less th n 33 per cent would pay a rataiW for handdug a $5 suit, this would mean another cost of $1.66, or a total of $4-15. leaving 85 cents to pay for the material of a $5, or $3.35 of a $7.50 suit. The cost of making is for the cheapest possible kind of a suit, and the balances of 85 cents and £3.35 for material are certniny not enough to pay for either a cloth made out of i ure wool or « ol in any condition of relative j pureness. “As tottoe existence of suits for men in heavy w ights in any kind >f material there is a grave question of doubt, for inquiries at some of the retail stores elicited the information that they carried nothing in value less than £lO. What is a £lO suit for men oomposed of? An examination of its texture, } make-up and trimmings suggests 1 thqt ifjthis ig the beat that 810 wi T i dc, wh tt will be the thing a£s bil will buy? Such a suit would be worthy of exhi ition at the World’s Fair, ar-d would be welcome treasure to f ture historians toprove wha< the people inhabiting these lands during the nineteenth ce#tury were compelled to wear because wool was taxed.

“In judging the relative cost of material it mast be borne in mind hat wool is an expe^ ; vp axticle and that a yard of twenty-.ounce goods will lequire at least twentyfour ounces of scoured wool to make the cloth. Wbat such wool would cost would depend upon its relative qual : t.’ and length, bu off v a very unsatisfactory woo yarn can be b urht for 50 cents per pound. What, then, can be bought in clotWng for anyth ng less than $10? And in all wool but very little can be bought in heavy weight goo is for less than $12.” During the political campaign of 1838 M Harrison, said, “this demand for cheaper coats seems to involve a cheaper m«n and woman under the coat.” And later Mr. McKinley said, “cheap and nasty go together.* At the time of these utteranoes Messrs Harrison and McEpnley had nrobably not seen any of Mr. North’s $5.60 and 87 suits of woolen clothing, but if they had they could not have characterized them mere correctly.
