Washington, Sept. SO. Lieutenant Mason. Shufeldt, United States Navy, whose visit to Madagascar has attracted much attention, readied the city Wednesday morning, and at night went to New York to see the President and report to him. Lieutenant Schufeldt was sent to Madagascar in a diplomatic capacity. His mission was to find oat if there were not some way in which the French occupation on the sear ooast could be terminated. The Hovas redly ears very little about this occupation. The frightful unhealthy character of the timber belt, about UO miles wide, which separates the coast trade from the interior tableland about six hundred feet above the sea, is an absolute protection to the Hovas from a French army, and as the natives have no commerce they do not feel the loss of a seaport or two. But die French occupation of Tamatave has practically destroyed foreign commerce, and European merchants are extremely anxious to have the French leave. Madagascar is the last stronghold of the American carrying trade, and our exports to the island have been large, and much in excess of English exports to the island. The natives will not buy English cotton cloth when they can get American, and plain white American cottons are selling at the Hava capital for sixty cents a yard. Lieutenant Shufeldt says the people have a passion for the purchase f all sorts of new things, and particularly all the appliances of civilisation, and die island offers a richer opening to commerce than even Japan at its zenith. The people have such mechanical ingenuity that they manufacture an excellent Gatling gun simply from drawings without ever having seen a model. The country is enormously rich in ail mineral resources,' but the natives only work the iron mines. They know, however, that they possess rich gold and silver mines, though for currency they use the French five-franc pieces, which they out up foT\ change. Lieutenant Shufeldt ascertained that the Hova Government is willing to pay three or four million dollars indemnity if the French will leave the island, and to .raise the money the Queen granted a concession to a foreign company to be formed to work the gold mines, thirty per cent of the proceeds to be paid to the Queen, and with that she shall pay die indemnity to the French. There has hitherto been a serious question about getting the precious ores to the seacoast, and a put of Lieutenant Shnfeldfs mission was to ascertain if the principal rivers of the island were navigable as far as the gold-fields. He found the river was navigable for two hundred and fifty miles, affording ample means of communication between the gold-fields and the coast In all treaties between Madagascar and foreign powers there has been a provision that any European developing a mine on the island or carrying away specimens should be made subject to the Hova criminal laws and punished with twenty years’ imprisonment. The Hova Government put the stipulation in lest a gold fever should break out and the island be overrun with European and American miners and adventurers. The Queen is now willing to waive this in part, and on his way home Lieutenant Shufeldt stopped in London and organized a company to work under the concession given him by the Queen. Lieutenant Shufeldt is the only white man who ever went entirely across the island, a distance of 1,018 miles, not in a direct line, but as he was obliged to travel. He started with 590 natives and three white men. The three white men he buried with his pwn hands on the way. Os the natives only 158 completed the journey. The rest perished of feyer. It is supposed that the project of the Administration is to bring about American intervention, and induce .the French to abandon their territorial claims, take a lot of gold to pay the expenses of their Chinese war, and get out of Madagascar. Lieutenant Shufeldt speaks highly of the Hovas, and enthusiastically of the general resources a t the island.

A TWO MILLION DOLLAR STEAI* Arnold, Cmtatla * Co-’s Lnm by a Confidential Clerk. New York, Sept 28.—The examination by expert accountants of the books of Arnold, Constable A Cos., the dry-goods merchants, which was necessitated by the discovery of irregularities on the pert of Henry C. Pedder, the confidential clerk of the firm, and Herbert Seymour, the cashier, has been finished, and they have reported a deficiency amounting to almost $2,000,000. The greater port of that enormous sum went into Mr. Pedderis pockets, in the shape of hard cash. He was in Europe when the discovery was made that he was a defaulter. He was summoned back, and on his arrival was arrested. While he was still in the custody of a Deputy Sheriff he deeded all his property to the firm, including his magnificent home in Llewellyn Park, and the suburbs of Orange, N. J., and his interest in the Manhattan Magazine, which he helped to found and. aided to keep going. His connection with the press ceased after he had surrendered his pfbperty. Seymour had previously been discharged, and had set out for Europe. It was the uneajthing of minor frauds which led to the discovery of the bigger ones. It is admitted that the property surrendered by Pedder and Seymour covered but a very small portion of their defalcations, but up to the present time no effort has been made to prosecute them either criminally or civilly. Members of the firm decline to deny or affirm the tenth of Tedders enormous stealing, because Richard Arnold says it will do no good, and the less said the better. A confidential employe said that Pedder lived at the rate of $50,000 a year, or three times his salary. Every evening the receipts of the retail department were brought to him. He would pot a thousand dollars or so into his pocket, according to his needs or cupidity, and make false entries in the books to conceal his dishonest practices, which west on for three years.

The Duke of Wellington's Experiment, In a ground-floor room In one of the large public buildings of London a man sat writing at a table covered with papers. He was a short, strongly built figure, with a prominent nose, and a face hard and massive as a granite statue, wearing the set look peculiar to men who have surmounted great difficulties and confronted great perils. Few, indeed, had had more practice in both than this man, for he was no other than the Dtike of Wellington, and his crowning victory at Waterloo was still but a few years old. There was the tinkle of a bell outside, and then a murmur of voices in the anteroom; but the Duke never raised his head from his writing, even when his secretary entered and said: '‘lf it please your Grace, that man with the bnllet-proof breastplate has called again, and wishes very much to see vour Grace for a moment. ’ The Duke's face darkeqfd, as well it might, for the man in question was the most pertinacious bore whom he had ever encountered., The bullet-proof cuirass was his own invention, and he never lost a chance of declaring that the safety of the whole British army depended upon the instant adoption of this “unparalleled discovery,” which he carried about with him, and exhibited at all times and in all places. Had this been all, he would soon have been disposed of ; but, unluckily, he had contrived to interest m his invention one or two of the Duke’s personal friends, and to get'from them letters of recommendation which even Wellington could not easily disregard. Something must clearly be’ done, nowever; for although the fellow had hitherto been kept at bay, he was evidently determined to give the Duke no peace till the matter had been fully gone into. For a moment Wellington looked so grim that the secretary began to hope for the order which he would gladly have obeyed, viz., to kick the inventor into the street forthwith. But the next instant the iron face cleared again, and over it played the very ghost or a smile, like a gleam of winter sunshine upon a precipice, j “Snow him in,” said he, briefly. The observant secretary noted both the tone and the smile that accompanied it; and he inwardly decided that it would have been better for the inventor if he bail not insisted on seeing the duke. In came the threat discoverer —a tall, slouched, shabby, slightly red-nosed man, with a would-be jaunty air, whiclf gave way a little, however, befors. the “Iron Duke’s” penetrating glance. “I am glad to think that your Grace appreciates the merits of my invention,” said he, in a patronizing tone. “They are, indeed, too important to be undervalued by any great commander. Your Grace cannot fail to remember the havoc made by your gallant troops at Waterloo among the French cuirassiers, whose breastplates were not bullet-proof; whereas, if—” “Have you got the thing with you?*’ interrupted Wellington. The inventor unwrapped a very showy looking cuirass of polished steel, and was just Doginning a long lecture upon its merits, when the Duke cut him short by asking: “Are you quite sure it is bulletproof ?” “Quite sure, your Grace.” “Put it on. then, and go and stand in that corner.” The other wonderingly obeyed. “Mr. Temple,” shouted Wellington to his secretary, “tell the sentry outside to load with ball-cartridge, and come in here to test this cuirass. Quick, now!” But quick though the secretary was, the inventor was quicker still. The moment he realized thfit he had been set up there on purpose to be fired at, and to be shot dead on the spot if his cuirass turned out to be not bullet-proof after all, he leaped headlong through the open window with a yell worthy of a Blackfoot Indian, and darting like a rocket across the court-yard, vanished through the outer gateway; nor did the Duke of Wellington, from that day forth, ever see or hear of him again.— David, Ker, in Harper's Magazine.

What means shall I employ to find it?” There are times when a pot of gold and silver would come handy to most men, and we are not surprised that our North Carolina friend wants to get the buried treasure to which he imagines he has come so near. It is true that for a century past men have been searching for such buried gold in many parts of the country, and that in no case, so far as we are aware, has the pot been dug up. According to report, the pirate. Captain Kidd, secreted untold treasure m scores of places, and much money and great labor have been spent in trying to discover it. But no one has found the gold. Indeed, the probability is that more money has been spent in the search than Captain Kidd ever buried—if, as a matter of fact, he buried any gold, or put under ground any which he did not himself dig up in due time. However that may be, nobody has been made the richer by finding any of the pirate’s possessions. . Tha searchers for that hidden bootyhave not been able to discover any way of determinining the exact places where it lies, and we fear that our correspondent will be equally unsuccessful. Ac any rate, we can not tell him how to get to the spot where his pot of gold and silver is. We know no other way than for him to dig up the whole space in some hart of which he is so sure it is concealed. Then he will be prettylikely to find it, if it is there. But to do that will cost hint much money, and he will have to expend no end of anxious labor. That is the certainty. Whether he will dig up any pot of treasure at all is a matter of very great uncertainty; and even if he strikes the pot he may find it a very small one and with very little in it. So far as we remember, spite of years spent in digging for them, no pots of gold of much account have ever been unearthed in this country. H, however, our correspondent makes up his mind to dig over the whole space, we advise him not to undertake the job unless he is sore of getting paid for his work- Os coarse, there is no assurance of reward from the discovered pot. After all, it may not be there, and if it is there it may contain nothing of any great value. The true policy for him. therefore, is to get up * company to search for the suspected or imagined treasure, demand a large part of the stock as tire originator of the scheme, and pay himself a large salary oat' of the money he gets from the sales of shares. “ Perhaps he will say that it will be impossible to find fools to buy the stock. But there be will be wrong. Os recent years millions upon millions of moneyhave been pot into schemes for unearthing the precious metals which were no more premising and no more sensible than his. Just now there may not be a very good market for such mining stoek, bat a few vears ago it was greedily bought, and one of the: places where the demand for It was greatest was shipwd Yankee Boston. These gold and silver mining companies usually started upon nothing more than an impression that the precious meta’s were in the ground owned by the computes. It is true that their promoters profeised to be sure the fM iittd Ittvtrwtrf tfcore* but Itap

were not more confident of its existence than our North Carolina friend is Os his pot of treasure. Nor did they get so near to the spot as one hundred yards. But, as a warning, we will tell him that the vast majority of these, companies organized to hunt for the precious metals came to speedy grief. The Impression, the hope, upon which they were based, proved false and delusive. Either there was no gold on the property, or there was too little to pay for taking it oat. Out of many hundreds bf mining companies which all held out the most sanguine expectations, there are now only a few score which are paying dividends. The result has been the loss of many millions by the searchers for the hidden treasure. Finally, therefore, we advise our friend to let the pot lie undisturbed, if, indeed, it is in his field. Some day, ii it is there, his plow may turn it up, and his chances of finding it in that way are about as good as if ho dug for it systematically. But we don’t believe there is any' pot of gold and silver there.— N. f. Sun. A Very Hot Taxpayer. “11 this the United States leather Bureau?” exclaimed an excited individual in a melted collar and hot-as-bla&es frame of mind, rushing into the United States Signal Service office on the corner of Wood street and Fifth avenue last Wednesday. “ Yes, sir; this is an office of the bureau,” replied the gentleman in charge. “O, it is, is it,” sarcastically excla’mcd the perspiring individual. “It is a part of the institution, is it? Well, sir, it’s a swindle! A (Prefaced swindle on the taxpaying citizen, sir! That is what it is, sir!” And the hot man grew so terribly hot that his face looked like a bloom just ready for the squeezers. “I do not comprehend you, sir,” replied the signal-service officer, with dignity. “O; you don’t, don’t you? lou don’t comprehend me? O, no, of course not. Certainly, you don’t. That ain’t what we taxpayers pay out our money for, to be comprehended. What did your bureau promise Saturday? Didn’t yon say a cold wave was on its way here, and that it would reach us Sunday, and the weather would be cooler, didn’t you?” “Well, sir, what if we did?”

“ What if you did! Os course you did. You know you did. You can’t deny it. Where is it?” “ I’m sure Ido not know,” returned the official abruptly, “We do not arrange the weather.” “ Ton don’t! Why, what are we taxpayers getting for our money, then?” exclaimed the hot man. “ The bureau simply furnishes meteorological information relative to the state of the weather,” answered the official, with dignity. “Information! Great Scotland, do yon think a man has to be shoveled into a blast-furnace before he knows it’s hot? Do you mean to say we taxpayers support this bureau to tell us what the thermometer is when our shirt-col-lars are running into our boots ? If you can’t regulate the weather, what are you for? A blind mule with his tail > broke off knows when it’s hot and cold without you telling us. What are wo taxpayers getting for our money?” and the wild man turned himself out on the sidewalk, red, hot, hissing globule of wrath.— Pittsburgh Chronicle. The Grit that Conquers. The mention of that distinguished educator. Rev. Dr. Lemuel Moss, President of the State University at Bloomington, recalls a very interesting story of nis early struggles to obtain an education. Our informant was a prominent church worker of this city, who was well acquainted with Moss while they were members of the First Baptist Church at Cincinnati, about thirty years Moss was then a “cub” in -a printing office, bdt he felt he had a higher call. The church had quite a handsome educational fund on hand at the time, and his means being small, he made application to the pastor of his church for admission to the theological seminary at Rochester, N. Y. The pastor didn’t seem to take to the idea, and the ambitious young man was kindly informed that there wasn’t enough in him for a preacher. They didn’t think he had enough education to enter college. But the rebuff only nerved young Moss to seek another plan. He wrote to Dr. Robinson, then President of the college, to know if .he could obtain the sextonship of one of the churches in Rochester. The good doctor offered him every kind of encouragement, and the coveted position was secured. By doing little chores about the church and college, and with the help of his young wife, he was enabled to work his way through the college and secure a good education. Two years after be entered the college the faculty took the pains to write back to the church people at Cincinnati, telling them what a mistake they had made; that the young ujan in whom they had failed to discover anything that would make a minister of the Gospel was destined to become one of the greatest in the land. Lemuel Moss is to-day recognized as one of the most profound thinkers, and as one of our most thorough scholars—a self-made man in all the word implies, and it is the selfmade man we admire above all things.

For Want of a Latch. - An old step-ladder lesson, setting forth the sad. import of little neglects, is worth a thousand repetitions: 1 For want of a nail the shoe was lost; For want of a shoe the horse was lost; For want of a horse the rider was lost— And all for the want of a horse-shoe net" This is said to be originally taken from actual history—of a certain aide-de-camp whose horse foil lame on a retreat and delayed him until the enemy overtook and killed him. Another actual case, embodying the same lesson against the lazy and shiftless habit of “letting things go,” is related by the French political economist, M. Say. Once, at a farm in the country, there was a gate, enclosing the cattle and poultry, which was constantly swinging open for want of a proper latch. The expenditure of a penny or two, and a few minutes’ time, would have made all right. If was on the swing every time 1 person went oat, and not being in n state to shut readily, many of the poultry were from time to time lost. One day a fine young porkar made his escape, and the whole family, with the gardener, cook and milkmaid, turned out in quest of the fugitive. The gardener was the first to discover the pig, and in leaping n (fitch to eat off his escape* he got a sprain that laid him op for a fortnight. The cook, pn returning to the farmhouse, found the linen horned that she had hung up before the fire to dry; and the* milk-maid, having forgotten,'in her haste, to tie up the cattle in the cowhouse, found that one of the loose cows had broken the leg of a colt that happened to he kept in the same shed. The linen burned and the gardener's work lost were worth fully a hundred fraqcs, and the colt was worth nearly double that money; so that hero was a loss in a few minutes of a large sum, purely for want of a Uttla latch which might have been supplied for a few half-pence.— Youth's Companion. —An astronomer says that to travel the distance to the saa at ordhuoy railroad rates of ion would Ai am wjm rfottifty** l

Homesickness. Reader, were you over homesick? When you first left the parental roof and went out into the wide world tc hew out a road to fortune and to fame, did yon not feel that strange sense oi unrest tbat made it seem impossible that you could live another hour away from home? Where one has not had this experience a hundred have. Well do 1 remember when, at fifteen years ol age, l went out from father, mother, home and friends, and sought an education nearly five hundred miles away. The novelty of my new surroundings in the city, having passed all my.life on a farm, sustained me for a month oi more, and then, I felt the gnawing at my heart one evening, and for weeks and months it came and came again. 1. was standing in the front yard at my boarding place, when suddenly a lump arose in my throat and almost choked me. I was looking in the direction of my old home, and my gaze went over the houses along the river, and over the tree-tops on the bluff beyond, and wandered into space, where I saw in imagination, the old fire-side. Mother, dear old mother, was sitting there at > her accustomed place, knitting away as if her life depended on “turning the heel” of that stocking. Father was reading the village paper, just as I had seen him do a hundred times. My brothers and sisters were all there as usual, and the cat dozed and purred before the fire of crackling branches, and the back-log of hissing-hot elm rolled from its place and scattered embers here and' there, as I had seen it do over and over again. The shouts of the children, the terror of the oat, the hurry of mother to brush the glowing coals from the old rag carpet before they should add to the number of unsightly holes already burned in it, the activity of father in checking the progress of the back-log wRh his heavy boot, the overturning andirons, the choking smoke and all the accompanying excitement and effort to repair damages, were as 1 had seen them often; but I was not there to help and an unfathomable longing to go and participate in the dear old scenes came upon me. What would 1 have given for the poor privilege of burning my fingers in a futile effort to set up the fallen firedogs? How I should have leaped and danced for joy even to have coughed from breathing the smoke! It would have been only second to Heaven to have had mother bind up my blistered fingers and little sister to put her chubby hands upon them and hurt them in her anxiety to find out whether I was shamming. But no: this picture was but a mirage, and I must wait. One day a letter came. It said another sister had been born* to me. How very strange I felt. 1 had a sister I had never seen, and when I talked about it at the table the other boarders laughed at me and said I was homesick. I cried each night when I had gone to bed, and in the" morning, my pillow was wet with tears, and at table, my room-mate told of how I had called for mother in my sleep, and so I was laughing-Stock again. The lady of the house was kind to me, and, often when she found me weeping, had stroked my hair so like my mother had in years agone, I wept afresh. At last a day came when I was going home. The hours seemed ages, ana the minutes to elapse before the' train would come, were hours of torture. At last, good-by was said to my new friends, the bell was tapped and I was on the wav. The speed was far too slow, and I almost felt that I could go faster if I were afoot. When at last the brakeman called the names of stations tbat 1 knew, my heart beat high with everrising hope, and 1 was in an ecstacy of joy. At last the whistle sounded and the brakeman called the station near my home. The train it seemed would never stop. The platform reached, I sprang off. What change had coma upon the world? The buildings I had thought so high two years before ware verylow; the girls were in long dresses, and my little sweetheart was so tall and slender, shy and blushing, I could hardly speak to her. At home it waa the same. Father and mother were more gray, the children larger, and I called the one I’d never seen by the name I’d called the next one older bofore I went away. The cat was sleepy and inactive, and the fire upon the hearth not half so bright. Alas! a change had come, and home was never home again. Bloomington through Mail.

A Corn-Husking Festival. How vividly to all those erf os whe were bora in the country comes the membrance of . husking-time. We waited for it as the gala-day erf the year. It was called a frolic. The trees having for the most part shed their foliage, the farmers waaed through the fallen leaves and came through the keen morning air to the gleeful cornpanv. The frosts which had silvered everything during the night began to melt off of the top of the corn-shocks. While the farmers were* waiting for others, they stood blowing their breath through their fingers pr thrashing their arms around their body to keep up warmth of circulation. Roaring mirth greeted the late farmer as he crawlod over the fence. Jokes and repartee and rustic salutations abounded. AD ready, now! The men take bold of the shock of corn and hnrl it prostrate while the moles and mice which haws secreted themselves there for warmth attempt to escape. The withe of Straw is unwound from the corn-shock, and the stocks, heavy with the wealth ot grain, are rolled into bundles, between which the husker sits down. The bosk* ing-peg is thrust in until it strikes! and then the fingers rip off the sheathing ot the ear, and there is a crack as the root of the corn is snapped off from the husk, and the grain disimprisoned is hurled, up into the sunlight. The air is so tonic, the work is so exhilarating, the company is so blithe, that some laugh, and some shout, and some smg. ana some banter, and some tease a neighbor for a romantic ride along the edge of the woods in eventide in a carriage that holds but two, and some prophesy as to the number of bushels to the field, and others go into comps tition as to which shall rifle the most corn-shucks before sundown. After a while the dinner-horn sounds from the farw-hottse, and the table is surrounded by a group of jolly and hungry wen From all the pantries and cellar* and perches of fowl on the {dace the richest dainties come, and there is a carnival and neighborhood reunion, and a scene which fills our memory, part with smiles, but more with tears, as we remember that the farm now belongs to other owners, and other hands gather in the fields, and many of those who mingled in that merry husking scene have themselves been reaped “like as o shock of corn cometh in bis season.”— Hr.
