An old Boston merchant once said to a young man of good reputation from New Hampshire, to whom he had just sold a lot of goods, partly on credit: “My young friend, I have a word of advice to give you, a* you are just commencing business oh your own account; it is this: You should always keep in mind that you must either cheat yonr customer or your cred itor." Th- young man listened, went home, thought over the matter, and tvx>n packed up nearly all those goods, shipped them to a distant point, and ran away, and the Boston merchant never got a dollar for them.

Tire women’s branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Philadelphia, recently Interceded in behalf of the dogs, and succeeded in having the old method of disposing of them dis pensed with, and the introduction of carbonic acid into a large tub in which the dogs were confined, ' substituted, as a means of destroying them. The new plan would not work, however, and when the cover was removed, instead of seeing, a mess of dead dog flesh, the spectators beheld a lot of lively canines, s'aring them out of countenance as if desirous ot knowing the cause of this new movement of humanity. It was found necessary to resort to the old method. A singular contest took place lately in a Mexican village near Monterey. The Periodic# Official of that city gives the particulars.- “Two young brothers, Eu genio and Jose Maria, sons of Don Fran cisco Cantu, were engaged in clearing out a well, at a place called Los Positos. Slid denly a rabid lion appeared, and violently rushed upon ope of the young men, Eu genio, knocking him senseless to the ground. The other young man, twenty years of age, on seeing the immittnt danger of his brother, rushed in turn upon the beast, who Immediately abandoned his prey, and furiously faced the one who intended to dispute him. Jose Maria pos Besses extraordinary strength, and having succeeded in drawing his arms around the beset in an advantageous manner, he attempted to choke it The young man and beast rolled on the ground for some time, and finally the beast freed itself from the hold of its oppressor, in a dying condition, and the brave Cantu-finished killing it by smashing its head with an agricultural instrument which he was using at the time when he was attacked. The two young men were hurt more or lisa. The beast was attacked by hydrophobia.”

Enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment.

The following are, in substance, the srevisions5 revisions of the bill recently passed by (ingress and signed by the President, to secure the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment: 1. All citizens of the United States otherwise qualified are allowed to vote at all popular elections, without distinction ol race, color, or previous condition of servitude. 2. Persons who, under color of any State law or constitution, prevent qualified voters from voting, shall pay the party aggrieved fSOO, and be fined not less than SSOO, or imprisoned not less than one month or more than a year. 3. Where the laws or constitution of a State require anything to be done before a party can vote, and he has been prevented by threats or intimidations, he shall be entitled to vote the same as if he had done what is required. The parties preventing are punished as in the former case. 4. Penalties are provided expressly against those who hinder one who has the right to vote under the Fifteenth Amendment; and a conspiracy of two or more persons to violate the provisions of the act is severely punished 5. Jurisdiction in such cases is given to the District Courts of the United States, and directions for the government of its officers in the premises are laid down inHhe act. 6. Se- tion 13 of the law provides that it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to employ Laval or military force to aid in the execution of judicial process issued under the act. 7. District Attorneys are directed to proceed by writ of quo warranto against persons holding office contrary to the provisions of the third section of the Fourteenth Amendment, and such persons are made amenable to fine and imprisonment. 8. The right of all persons to make and enforce contracts is set forth in strong language, and protected by stringent penalties. 9. Sections 19 and 20 of the act provide against fraudulent and double voting, and registering at or for any election where a member of Congress is to be chosen. The remaining sections of the measures contain very strong provisions against those attempting to violate the act or who have succeeded m doing so.

How Higgins Gently Broke the News.

Yes, I remember the anecdote, the Sunday School Superintendent said, with the old pathos in his voice and the old sad look in his eyes. It was about a simple creature named Higgins, that used to haul rock for old Maltby. When the lamented Judge Bagley tripped and fell down the court house stairs and broke his neck, it was a great question howto break the news to poor Mrs Bagley. But finally the body was put into Higgins’ wagon, and he was instructed to take it to Mrs. B , but to be very guarded and discreet in his language, and not break the news to her at once, but do it gradually and gently. When Higgins got there with his sad freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came to the door. Then he said: “ Does the widder Bagley live here ?” *• The widow Bagley ? No, sir! ” • “I’ll bet she does. But have it your own way. Well, does Judge Bagley live here ? ” “ Yes, Judge Bagley lives here.” “ I’ll bet he don’t. But never mind, it ain’t for me to contradict Is the Judge in!” “ No, not at present” “ I jest expected as much. Because, you know—take hold o’ suthin, mum, for I’m a-going to make a little communication, and I reckon may-be it’ll jar you some. There’s been an accident, mum. I’ve got the old Judge curled up out here in the wagon; and when you see him you’ll acknowledge yourself that an inquest is about the only thing that could be a comfort to Aim Z Mark Twain.

A Thrilling Scene.

Two Spanish brothers, Rodriguez by mime, went to Father Edward PurCell and asked leave to put in order the lightning rod that runs up the tall spire of the cathedral at the corner of Plum and Eighth streets. The Father told them that the insulators on the rod wefe broken, and other repairs to it, nd one eculd tell how much, were needed, but he besought them to put up scaffolding in order to get at the rod which was to be repaired. Having been commissioned to do the work, they proceeded to the execution of it without delay. Coming out of the spire at one ot the Laurve windows, just above the dial faces ot the tower, the men swung a ladder, partly by ’ a rope dropped down from a narrow ■

aperture just below the banc of the spire, -«nd partly by Its own fco-ks canght upon 'he stone moulding round the next story above the tower. Up this pendulous lidifrr one of the m-n clambered, hang ing to the rugs like a parrot to its Dtirch. On the ledge of the molding which the hooks of the ladder hung to was a good base of operations. A half a dozen ladders were provided.. One was drawn un and planted on the new base, and lashed in place both at the top and bottom.. The top touched the last ledge of molding in the ascent, the base out of which the tower arose. On the streets for squares distant al-ng Plum in both directions, and along Eighth eastwardly, witnesses watched the ascent, while near the acene the pavements were lined with spectators. The two brothers were on the scene hy this t me. and the ascent up the spire proper had b- en commenced. The first ladder of this final series r< st-d on the base of the spire, and was lashed to it both at the top and the bottom, by ropes p-issing around the spire. The two men carried a second ladder up this one, lashing the bottom of the former to the top of the latter The next, thing was to secure this last addition to the climbing apparatus. One of the brothers dim’-ed it while the

other held its base.' Up in that dizzy height a rope was thrown around the spire, and the top of this last ladder secured by it, until five or six ladders were strung in the series, the topmost reaching within two or three feet of the base of the cross, which terminates the spire at a height of 222 feet above the base of the cathedral. When the line of spliced ladders hail -crept up the eastern face of the spire to this position, a ladder with hooks at the top was carried up and hooked upon the cross. One of the brothers ascended this, took position first upon an arm of ihe cross, and then stepped up and stood erect upon the very top of the upright portion ot the stone cross. Standing there, he unscrewed the top of the lightning rod, and tossed it to the ground. Several variations of the performance took place about this time. Otoe, both the brothers were on the opposite arms of the cross. The standing upon the top of the cross and the climbing about its arms’continued for some’ time, when the men descended, leaving their ladders for a continuayon of the performance. The crowd cheered when the top of the cross was reached—that is, the boys in the crowd cheered. The men were sober observers.- One strnng fellow turned from the sight with the remark that it was too much for his nerves. Others shuddered and audibly wished aloud for the men to come down, but still continued to look. Merf who had pa«sed rat four o’clock, when the work began, re-. turned and saw it completed at Everybody expressed relief when men came down, and many gave vent to regrets that the perilous work would be continued.— Cincinnati Gaiette. i

Condition of Farm Stock.

The monthly report of the Department of Agriculture for March and April gives a generally favorable view of the condition of farm stock throughout the country. The mildness of the winter has been favorable to the health of farm animals, in exemption from the exposure of violent storms and the extremes of temperature, and rendering necessary a smaller consumption of hey and other feed! A very large crop of hay was secured last season, and its excessive production was quite general; the exception in quantity being the regions of the Atlantic coast, and the marked exception in quality that portion of the West which suffered from excessive rain, in the season of growth as well as curing As heretofore, it i- found that the cattle of the more northern States are in bqfßr order than those of the center and snutnern belts, simply because they are.bettGr sheltered and protected from ext>o*urf? Thay are also bet- * ter ted than those of the Central and nearly all the Southern States. The most healthy cattle seem to if be found in the States of Maine, New Hampshire,' Vermont, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. They are not only sheltered, cared tor and fed with regularity, but the uniformity of the winter is a stimulant to appetite and conducive to health A large crop of hay, well grown and cured without damage, in the New England States,aided hy mild winter weather, has kept the cattle in that region in excellent condition. In the Middle States, farm stock wintered extremely well. From the Southi rn States, the reports are ganerally unfavorable, owing to drouth and other sympathetic causes. Exemption to this statement should be made in favor ol Texas, whence comes the report “ unusually good.” The reports from Ohio are generally favorable. In Indiana, the condition of ths farm stock may be placed at a full av<ra s e. A similar statement holds good in regard to Illinois. Cows appear to be in better order than usual in localities where cheese factory enterprises are flourishing.» Michigan has wintered her stick well. Returns from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and lowa are extremely favorable, almost without exception. In Missouri, farm stock are generally looking well. Catt’e are in fine condition in Kansas. Tn Nebraska, farm animals have generally wintered well. I n Southern California, a severe drouth parched the pasiurage and starved the cattle, causing the death of multitudes In the northern part of the State the pasturage was good, and the stock, therefore, in good condition. In Oregon and Washington Territories, the farm stock are in an average condition. In Utah, from various causes, the cattle very poor. Losses from debility, starvation, or neglect, have been less than usual during the past year throughout the country.

Renovating Old Orchards.

So much has been sa : d about the “decline of orchards,” “renovating old orchards,” etc., and while we have had a watchful eye over many of the old orchards, we have sometimes noticed a favorable change made in unproductive old trees, as for instance When they are started into new life by manuring the land, dressing out old and partially decayed limbs, scraping off the rough bark and washing with strong soap suds, and keeping the trees free from insects, and by all these remedial agents instil a new lease of life into the trees, thereby getting a new growth and a lew crops of fruit. But that the tree is nevertheless on the decline, and its life and usefulness drawing to a close, is a fact that accords with all our observations in this direction.

Fruit trees have, as men and aninials, a period of existence; a life-time, and it is just as impossible to rejuvenate, and bring into new life; an old decaying apple tree, as to make an old man young and endeavor to trot him an'ew through a repetition of bis life of usefulness and produc i ven ess. We Jiave as little kith in bringing to usefulness, an old neglected orchard, as to expect much of a man or an animal that has suffered a decline from a life time of neglect and abuse. . When we survey the work%of Nature iwe see all things drifting along in the same inevitable direction, a birth, a period of existence, and a decline and end. If a child is neglected, it becomes most frequently, a"useless, worthless man. . So with animals, and so with orchards. He who designs to plant an orchard and does not have already determined that he will also attend to it for all time to come, had better throw his trees away and makeup his mind to do without trim. What would be thought of a man who, while planting a field of corn, hgd not certainly made up

his mind to give it all the attention that is needed to make a crop ? But how many plant orchards aud hedges, and never after give tbeae any care of any sort, and yet in due course of time expect to gather an abundance of luscious fruit, and see their lands protect _ed by a good hedge ’ If a man has lost neariyh lifetime in the neglect of his orchard, lid him not waste the remainder of his days in trying to force that orchard to become young again. Better, far, begin anew again, plant young trees; not four, or five, or six years old, but one nnd two-year-old trees. These suffer so little, in transplanting that they are entirely better than a three year old tree. The mania for big trees is first subsiding, and this is so much in the right direction. Plant an orchard of young trees, find plant some trees every year, and as the old trees die out, add new ones, and an abundance of fruit is almost a certainty throughout a lifetime. Plant those varieties that have been thoroughly tested and found to succeed in your locality, and go slow on those that are reported to do well a thousand miles away.— Jou>a ffomeiitcad.

The Babcock Fire Extinguisher.

St. Joseph, Mich., May 9,1870. F. W. Farwell, Secretiry: Dzar Sib: On Thursday of last week, about noon, my house took fire between the Joist under the kitchen stove. When discovered, the room was tilled with smoke and no fire to be seen. Holes were immediately bored through the floor, and the nozzle pf a Babcock Extinguisher (of which I have two) was slipped in, the stream turned on and the fire Immediately extinguished, which, in my opinion, could not have been done with water. I- regard the Babcock as un invaluable protection. It ought to be in every dwelling. Very truly yours,

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. All women know that It is beauty, rather than genius, which all generatlons-of men have worshipped in the sox. Can it be wondered at, then, that so much of woman’s time snd attention should be directed to the means of developing and preserving that beauty 1 Women know, too, that when men speak of the intellect of women, they speak critically, tamely, coolly; but when they come to speak of the charms of a beautiful woman, tbclr language and their eyes kindle with an enthusiasm which shows them to be profoundly, if rot, indeed, ridiculously, in earnest. It is part of the natural sagacity or women to perceive all this, and therefore employ every allowable art to become the goddess of that adoration. Preach to the contrary, as we may, against the arts employed by women for enhancing their beauty, there stillstanos the eternal fact, that the world doesnot prefer the society of an ugly woman of genius to that of a heanty of les- intellectual acquirements. The world has yetallowed no higher mission to woman than to be beautiful, aud it wonid seem that the ladies of th-, preeen' ag are carrying this idea of the world to greater extremes thin ever, for all women now to whom nature his denied the talismaaic power of beauty, supply the deficiency by the use of a most delightful toilet article, known as the “Bloom of Youth,” which has been lately introduced into this country hy Gaonas W. Laikd, a delicate beautifler, which smooths out all indentations, furrows, scars, removing tan, freckles, and discolorations from the skin, leaving the complexion clear, brilliant and beautiful, the skin soft and smooth. With the assistance of this new American trick of a Lady’s toilet, female beauty is destined to play a larger part In the admiration of men and the ambition of women than all the arts employed since her creation. Prof. C. F. Chandler, Chemist to the Metropolitan Board of Health, has recently prepared a chemical analysis W this delightful toilet preparation, and reported that the “Bloom of Youth ” was harmless, containing nothing injurious to the health. Ladles need have no fear of using, this invaluable toilet acquisition. Sold hy every druggist and fansy goods dealer in the United States. Depot, 5 Gold St., New York.
