The weather lias been exceedingly spring like, the roads itre In splendid condition, and there are a larire number of country dealers In the city baylug their spring and summer stocks. There is a liv.ely trade reported doing In dry goods, and prices rule firm. The stocks held by oar dealers are .well selected, there being nothing omitted either In the staple or fancy lines. There Is but little doing in provisions. The oflerings during the week have been on a wmall scale, as have the sales and prices are reported nominal. Dealers in groceries report an active demand for all kinds of goo.is, especially for sugars and roflees, which rule very firm, with an upward tendency. .

Work la. the Garden. ' iGernikntown Telegraph. In a little, while we shall be in the garden clearing it up, and preparing It for the general operations of tlie season. The first thing if not done in the fall is to gather up the ofTal of every kind and burn it. Fork up the border beds for the onion crop. Dig the beds for the early peas, planting thq first crop shallower than the others, which ehould be from four to six inches in depth. Hot beds should be prepared at once, if not already done and tomato, egg plant, cabbage seed, etc, sown. The rhubarb bed Ehould be cleared up, forked over and manured. The asparagus bed ehould have the rough portions of last fall's lop dressing removed, and the rest forked In, followed by a coat ot course salt that from the meat tub or mackerel barrel will amwer as well as any. In pruning pear and apple trees the grafts which are intenled to be saved should be stuck in the ground a couple of inches at the foot of each tree, where they will keep as well as in any other position, and the name will be preserved. Grape cuttings should be tied in bandies, with the name attached ou & wooden label, and buried until wanted. On or about the 1st r.f April the flower beds and borders should have the coarser portion of last fall's top dressing raked oil, and the rest carefully fcrked in. This thoulc be followed in a couple of weeks by a thorough dressing up with a fork and rake. Never use a spado in any of these operations indeed, it should be used very little even in a garden, all the digging being done with the garden fork. Half hardy plants of every kind should not be taken up before the first week in April, or say the luth, as a sharp freezing may catch them and the tender wood be destroyed. We had our hornet raspberry canes much injured by that very cold snap on the 13th of April two years ago. If the weather the last half of March should be propitious, many things will Btiggest themselves to be done in the garden that will save labor later in the season, when work upon the premises is more pressing.. Many gardeners and farmers plant their first crop of early potatoes on Sr, Patrick's day, and so on during the rest of the month.

"There are a good many Irishmen," suggested the reporter. "Oh, ye?." was the reply. "Illishmen all over In Californy, too, no likee Chinyman; treatee belly bad. Melican man belly muchee likee Chinyman. If Melican roan go have plocession he co likee Chinaman, too, eh?" The World reporter said he could not say, and the Chinse gentleman asked, "You Melican man or Illishman?'' "I am a reporter." was the reply.

In 1877 India took about fifty millions of dollars of silver more than the whole production of thw world.

The fact of an actual decrease, during the year IS", in the gold and silver coin and bullion of the civilized world is contrary to the general idea, and is worthy of attentive consideration. In the summary .we have given, the amounts stated as representing the logs from abrasion of coins and use in the arts are below the estimates of the best authority, and do not include the loss from handling in Europe or this country. The amount of this loss is large, but like the insensible wear of the human frame, it ia unnoticed. Morpblne In Berlin. Morphiom.inia has become a great scourge in Berlin since the introduction of opinm injections as a relief from bodily suffering and sleeplessness.- Tradespeople, merchants, judges, barristors, soldiers, student, doctors and clergymen become the victims of the habit, and when the medical attendants are called in it is too late to counteract the evil. At first, thete sub cutaneous injections offer the quickest and easiest means to allay pain and bring rest to the sufferer. But to prove effectual in its cure, the trrttiuent must be continued for a certain time; and during that period the patient becomes so accustomed to these ekin injections that they become -indispensable. When the medical pra:tioneer refuses to increase the doses, the patient, unable to sleep or rest without the calming injection, procures the necessary instruments and applies the remedy himself. Sometime?, also, even after the patient has. been cured without any undue doses, and when he should dispense with the opium injections, he delays doing so under the f lea that thej' make sleep and mt so well. Jn fact, when once these subcutaneous injections have begun, they can be rarely left oft Like drink, the appetite for them Increases until chronic drunkenness ensues. The Slanchter or the Innocents. I Pall Mall Gazet te. The disclosures that have been made on one or two occasions lately at inquests on the bodies of children'whose lives have been insured go to justify the prevalent suspicion of a close connection between infant mortality and life insurance. At an inquest held a few days ago as to the death of two chil dren at Low Spennymoor, Durham, which was adjourned for evidence as to the result of an analytical examination, a startling statement was made by Dr. O'H&nlon, med leal officer to the local board. "In the last few years,' he said, "ever since there has been such an enormous canvassing going on amongst insurance companies, there has been a wonderful increase In the mortality among children." As a rule, he found that the children were always insured. The temptation to get rid of a child rather than maintain it is to many parents very great at all time; and when in addition to being relieved cf the burden of its maintenance they can actually gain hard cash by its death, the temp'Ation may become irresistible. The TJrJversalists are talking up a. church congress of ' their denomination for the reasons that it would bring the clergy together and give them an opportunity for an interchange of ideas. On such occasions, too, the best thoughts on various vital topics of the best thinkers and speakers are called out and their benefit conferred uptn their brethren. In the next place these congresses t nd to make clergymen more inter

Norristown Herald. It cost the missionary socif ties of this country $196 for every convert gained to Christianity in China, but only $91 for those converted in the Pacific states here. During the past three years the missionaries and native preachers in China hare gained an , average of two converts a year, while in Portland, Oregon, and San Francisco the average is nine a year. These facts, a writer in the National Baptist thinks, show where economy 13 aamitsioie in mission work. The evangelization of the Indians in the west is carried on at the rate of $20 per conVert, and still less among the freedmen. The British expenditure on account of ambassadorial, consular and other foreign services is probably the largest, even the most extravagant, in the world! For instance, the total disbursement for diplomatic services will be 200 725, or $1,003,623, for the present year. For consular services, $1,239,470; for pensions to superannuated ambassadors. $61,310; and for consular pensions, $101 845. The sum totil of payments on this pcore mounts up to the large sum of $1,463,(125 per annum. In 1853 it amounted to leas than half that sum.
