Henry Is one of the first, This gentlemen did business as a druggist for a number of years . in Waterbury, Vt, where he built op a flourishing trade by judicious advertising.. He also had. a branch apothecary shop in Montreal. Finally Mr. Henry was succeeded by the firm of Henry k Co., and came to this city, where he purchased , an inter est in the patent medicine house of De mas Barnes 4 Co., and in: Oct, 1868, succeeded to the entire business of the concern. , On the . first of May last, he removed to 8 College place, where he has a fire story building. From cellar to roof are cases of mineral water, perfumery and patent medicines. A dozen men are employed in keeping the 'accounts, and twice as many in packing bottles containing all sorts of fluids. It is one of the largest establishments of the kind in the world, and does a busisiness of 82,000,000 a year. '.So much for enterprise and, advertising -Sun.

' The Indications now are that the interest in the coming exhibition will far exceed that of any preceding year.

The cropa are fully equal to the expectations of the farmers, and they will not only feel like going to the fair, bnt will desire to exhibit their products. The mechanics and manufacturers should be making their arrangements to exhibit choice specimens of their skill and handiwork, as the advertisement can not but be of great benefit to them in their business. .More people from all parts of the country will seethe various articles on exhibition each day than they would see at the manufactory in a year.

PALLADIUM CORRESPONDENCE."

I i , Washington, D . C., August 3, 1889." The strike among the plate printers employed in the National Bank Koto Company in New York, has bad tbe effect of sujpending work in tba printing bu reau of the Treasury Department for a few days and ' neeeaasrilr delays the Um of the new.. fractional currency. It ia not Improbable that Sec'y Boutwell will find It to the interest of the ; Gorernnient to transfer this work back to the Treasury Depart ment. Perhaps s word concerning this Printing Bureau would be interesting. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, formertr known aa the Currency Printing 'Bureau, was established in 1862 by Secretary Chase. There haabeen many changes since ita Brat organ! sation, Bnt not until If r. Boutwell became Secretary did the much needed reformation in printing take place. The Secretary haa completely changed ita whole working, and now ignorea the very expensive and impracticable mode of printing . Greenbacks by what ia known aa the 'Hydrostatic Press,' introduced by S. M. Clarke, former Superintendent of the Bu reau under Chase After an endless amount of ex perimenting with these presses, costing the Govern ment, it is estimated, a quarter of a million of dollars, they were sold a few days since to ' a Philadelphia Company for $10,000. ' ' '' V Ths paper used for our currency, which has until quite recently been made in the Treasury, ia now made at Glenn Mills, Pa., and sent to the Bank Note .Company of New York,' where- all the legal tender and fractional currency are now printed. The seal ing, pressing, separating "and trimming are done here. r:- " ' - ' Another important branch connected with thia bureau is the Book Printing, where aU " blank and account books of the Department, and whisky and beer stamps are bound. In this Department alone there are twenty-two machines in operation numbering and sealing the bonds. ' n s a-:-y' :.- ,': . It is generally ; conceded that the many blunders always occurring in this bureau ; hare been caused through the want of a practical printer at its bead. On the resignation of Mr. MeCartee. who ia, by the way, a moat efficient bu ainesa man, See. Boutwell sent for Mr. Chan. Neat, of Montrose, Pa-, and had e long interview with him. . It ia quite possible that Mr. Neal, who is an old steel plate printer, and thoroughly understands all the workings of the Currency Printing Bureau, will be' called upon by the Secretary to succeed Mr. MeCartee. v OCB CON0BBS8IO1I AC. MBBaKT. Our Congressional Library, in this city is a great institution. To it all persons may resort to read each 'day from 9 to 4 o'clock, Sundiya only excepted.' It contains orer 180,000 volumes, consequently the largest library in the country and increasing every day. By act of Congress in 1865," a copy of every book thereafter published in the United States was required to be forwarded to it by the publisher, which has made it increase so fast, in connection with other occasions, that only a short time ago it had to be greatly enlarged, and now again ' more room is required. ! It haa filled al) the space which can well be allotted to it in the capital, where it now is, E forts will be made next session to have an appropriation made t erect a large building expressly for it ; but wo mat- . ter how large they make this edifice, it ia clear that it will not be large enough, for as the Good Book says, 'Of the making of books there is no end,' so also the room in which to place them must be illimitable, even if there were to be no other, books than those of our country. But as the works of all nations and languages must be constantly added, a still greater illimitability will be required. 'That is, we may be allowed to adopt the principles in Mathematits of a less and greater infinity. .The Librarian, Mr. Sponard, ia a gentleman welt acquainted with books, and perhaps a very good man but not possessed of the most popular manners to the mass. He does not seem either to display great . diligence in getting on the shelves the latest scientific ' works. I mean, of course, those of other countries, for those published at home, as before stated, muat come to the library. Every year new worka on the sciences, or new editions of old ones are " being bro't ' eut with improvement, and if they are not read up to date, tba mind is soon left far behind in knowledge. Nowj there ia not a single very late work on his Catalogue in regard to astronomy, one of tbe most adrancing and interesting ot all the sciences, and the same doubtless may be said of a number of other sciences. Then probably be is also rather too orltaHox.. . By this I do not men he can have too much of a right doxy about him, but I think be is influenced byit too much in his orders lor the purchase of books.' As an illustration of this I will mention that a friend of mine asked him in mr presence, if be had the works of Bishop .Colenzo. ; He replied, 'Bishop Colensn's kerttioal works T t Yes, sir, we have Colonbo's i heretical works, . Now : most persons would think that no matter what sort of works . Bishop Colensn's might be esteemed, bis opinion or condemnation just then was , not asked for by the questioner, and might be offensive. a , ;,- There are a great many Latin, Greek, French and German authors, c, with their translations, also, which are constantly referred to, of an ethical, metaphysical and speculative character, that he has not, the absence of which may be accounted for, I think, by their being ' outside of, 'or opposed to his special train of thought or notions,' but which ' should be found in every great library notwithstanding, and which must be read if we would be posted as to the great thoughts of mankind, and indeed without whieb we cannot be considered educated. - ''.: MisSISSim BSLBOATIOSI." ' - The Mississippi delegation has been here several days awaiting tbe arrival of the President, to 1st before him reasons why the Republican party should not countenance the Dent movement in their State. -They contend there is no split in tbe Republican party of Mississippi ; that all parties oppose the test oath and disfranchising clause, and that those who are so eager to run General Dent for Governor are Democrats,or ex-secessionists with whom they cannot affiliate. . General Ames has been here several days, and during his stay, made a short visit to Long Branch to see the President ou tbe sabject. He has left for Mississippi with tbe assurance, it is reportad, that the administration will oppose all movements, whether ia tbe interest of his brother-in-law or not, which is initiated by Democrats to intrigue special favors from this administration. General Dent, believing every tub should sta nd on its own bottom, it seems, has. not changed his mind, and is willing to allow the people to determine whether be shall be Governor of Mississippi or not. ' Should the people of Mississippi prefer Gen. Dent there will be no backward movement by him in carrying out the principles of the Republican party, with a view to re establish in the Southern people a lasting friendly relation with the Government. IMPORTANT r ATBNT DECISION. The decision on Saturday of Judge Fisher, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia before whom all patent appeal cases co me reversing the decision of the Commissioner of Patents in refusing Mrs. Elisabeth Ha wke's application for a re-issue of letters patent for an auxiliary chamber for stores, beaters and furnaces, granted April 23, 1857, is creating no little interest and talk in the Patent Office. Ia view of thia decision, there are several cases of the lke that hare been refused by the Commissioner which will ao doubt be brought before the Court soon. f';' L t: - - ' - It seems that tbe amendment to tlie 53d rule prevents an application for a re-issue of letters patent when tba parts claimed aa new are not shown either ia the drawing or model. Tbe ease of Mrs. Hawkes is aa instance of this kind. But the C ourt dec ided that it is the privilege of tba patentee to surrender the old patent and receive another ia its place, to enable him to giro a more perfect description of hia invention, and that if any part ho claims as new and useful, is suggested by the specification, and forms aa essential part of the invention, notwithstanding it is not shown in either drawings or model.it is entitled to a re -issue.

Tbe duties of the Chief Clerk of the Patent Office are most onerous end trying. So many snd various are the questions he is called upon to answer that it requires a mind of vast 'and varied ' information, of quick perception and ready and exact decision. A TOUMO MA! OXLY FOUB MONTHS IK THB SOCTH NOW " " SMOTITO HIS rOTOTB OTTICI. ' I am welt acquainted, with one of the Mississippi delegates, at present marshal o( Yicksburg, whose late history might be interesting to your readers as aa illustration of how offices have been obtained in the South. This now 'marshal or Yicksburg, is a gentleman of legal lore and a citisen of a small town in northern New York, where he has been practicing his profession for the last ten years prior to March last, when his curiosity was so great to know how offices were obtained in the South, that he concluded to sacrifice his practice and makes personal experience of it. He first visited Petersbug; then Riohmond, where he became favorably introduced to Governor Wells and some of bis - friends, who were

office-seekers at tbe National Capital for Government appointments, respectively for Revenue Collectors Collector of Customs, Assessors, Inspectors snd Gangers, Post offices, Ac, ' He concluded be had struck ile. . His gentlemanly appearance and easy manners with his legal attainments were soon ap preciated by these hungry office-seekers, who con-, sidered his services at Washington indispensible to their success, and he therefore came to Washington, and worked day and night ia getting one of his new made friends st Richmond appointed Assessor. He bad performed good services, and was entitled to re muneration. But before returning to Richmond, an idea flashed across his mind perhaps it flashed across his mind before leaving Richmond which was this : General Canby being military command er of Yirginia, had the appointing of Commonwealth Attorneys in the State, and why couldn't he get ap pointed one ? , He could ' procure the' best testimoni - als for ability and loyalty to the ' Gavernment. He drew up an application to Generat Canby, and got it properly endorsed by a' number of M. C.'s, which, together with good letters from others of influence, secured his appointment as Commonwealth Attorn ey of Danville, Va. But on " going there he found there was but little work and small pay, and consequently resigned his office and returned to bis new made friend in Richmond, where he expected to re ceive recognition for services rendered. As payment be was tendered a recommendation for an appointment aa Assistant Assessor. No sooner than appointed and his residence and citizenship established, be commenced making political speeches in favor of Wells. , But he soon discovered that the coming events were casting their shadows before, and Wells was bound to be beaten. He, rat like, deserted the sinking ship, snd with it tbe hard earned spoils, to transfer his base of operations to a place where there would be less office-seeking and a better show for him. But bis money was gone, which is often the case with office-seekers. ITe bad already held two offices to be sure within a month, but on striking a balance aheet, found that it was cash paid out, Dr. to cash prospective and political honors, the latter being already at a discount. ' His " only resource, which lie availed himself of, was to dispose of his valuable gold watch and chain, worth $180 for $75. With thia money he made haste to Yicksburg where he succeeded in obtaining another District Attorney ship, which he only held until he conld lay pipe for and get a more lucrative office. His fourth, last and present office, Marshal of Yicksburg, bestowed upon him by General Ames, is worth several thousand dollars a year, and was formerly held by Capt. Fisk e, late editor and proprietor of the Yicksburg Republican. , Thus it seems that his brief political experience although not as pleasant as he would wish it to have been, baa been active and aof altogether barren of fruitful "results. , Only in ; tbe South four months, and is oownjeyiaghis fourth office. ',lre. io .....LIFE. Amused with Cost.' i It is doubtful if we spend as much proportionately for. real, substantive recreation as the people of any other civilized nation ; it is doubtful, indeed, if we spend enough in that direction. But we have a sad way of making mob-like attacks on our amusements, and shooting them down with . greenback pellets ; and the more it requires toj br'ng them down, the more relishable they prove. Thus the man of .business . pinches himself and worries himsel f all the win ter long, and all the; spring long, and half the summer long, to get a few hundreds or a few thousands in his pocket. and makes a grand dash at Long Branch or Sharon,' or the mountains, with a full trail t of band-boxes, and women, and portmanteaus, and., over-eats himself, and sleeps in a hot chamber, and talks politics, and drinks sulphur-water, and is highly amused.' The question is, if this sharp, stimu lative, pestilent, worrying, full-blaze recreation would not be more serviceable and relishable every way, if it were distributed over a larger portion of the year, and provoked a little greater serenity and quietude. What if a man should give an hour or two a day to his family, if he have any, or to his horses, if he have any, or to the task of makking his home less, out-sided and more home like ? We are growing to be great musiclovers, and crowd with fifty thousand others to endure what lodgings are possible when fifty .thousand overrun a town to bear a hnndred anvil-hammers and a thousand voices in chorus ; but what girl thinks it worth her while to learn those simple, old-fashioned snatches of song which. lull.--babies to sleep, and which stay the devil in old men. We are well enough aware that a man will value, rationally-even in way of amusement what costs difficulty. But are we not somewhat too much disposed to master those difficulties only which yield to money spending, and to connt for nothing in the way of recreative indulgence those others which yield to wise search, to resolution, and to selfcuiture?;:.;;f;; , The magnificent upholstery of our hotels and steamboats are so many baits for those who measure the pleasure of a summer's travel by what it costs ; and if we perspire in an attic, up six flights of stairs (as we are pretty apt to do,) we recreate ourselves with the reflection that we are paying the' same moneys with the General .Bunkum, a' friend of the house, who . has rooms upon the first

floor. We doubt very much if ample.

cleanly, home-like; comfort, and only two flights of stairs to reach it, would meet with any . patronage in one of our larger cities. Not that we do not like our economies, many of ns, but we like to conceal our economies, and we cdver our repugnance to a :: sober simplicity and moderation ia oar, living, as in our amusements, under boast of our republican equality. As if and here , lies the pith of the matter differences in thVspending of money made differences in manhoods. In fact,-the secret of half of our most absurd extravagance lies in the, ridiculous association of our equality and independence as citizens with a certain amount of moneyed demonstration. - . ' The American of.; tender years; and tender judgment travels through Europe always 'flrst-clsBs,' and looks condescendingly upon the tavant ' and quiet capitalists, who, without any msnifest sacrifice of dignity, content themselves with second-class . places. In fact,1 the inn-keepers of Europe are beginning to understand that the Americansespecial ly young Americans- are ' the. most royal ; paymasters in the world ; and this, not so much for the love of j being be lorded and showered ; with titles by valets and chambermaids7 as for the indulgence of a grand indifference to cost. Is it not worth., while for. us to con sider if possibly we are not straining our aninsements somewhat in the direc tion of cost? f Hearth and Home.; The Eclipse. x r When the human race was young, an eclipse was the source of great tribulation. ' Our ancestors were horrified and perplexed, and it was long before they discovered that the derangement of the natural order of day and night was ow ing to the insolent familiarity of the moon. But education lias wonderful power, and mankind having now ; been present at several score of eclipses have at last been brought to view them with equanimity. A few individuals here and there, who do not take the papers, may shn Ider and look for something to crack, but they have no power to prodtree a. panic. . ' We have learned somewhat about the sun and moon and their devious courses, but some matters still : remain in uncertainty, which savants think may be satisfactorily settled. Certain luminous protuberances in; the circumsolar regions still perplex the astronomers. It is settled that these protuberances which on account of the dazzling brilliancy of the sun itself, : can be observed only at the time of a total eclipse, are several hundred times as large as this earth and that they completely change their form and position in the course of a few minutes, and, further, they s re mainly or entirely, composed of hydrogen 'gas. , Now it remains to be learned how these protuberances may be accounted for. -Do they belong to the sun, or to a ring circulating about the sun ?. .Various theories are endangered by the inexplicable presence ot these flaming protuberances of incandescent hydrogen. A very high authority, who ' observed the eclipse of 186$ in India, maintains that the sun has no considerable atmosphere surrounding it. In fact, we suppose that nothing was ever presented to the-' attention of the human "race about' which innumerable questions , might not be asked. Only once more this century, namely, in the year 1900, will the aun retire from its business ; of raising ' vegetables and ripening corn , to bo' Cate ; chised by the savants of the t United States, and even then it is not ! certain that any decisive replies will be obtained. , -.:; , .) The chief interest of an eclipse, especially of a total eclipse,, is its sublimity as a natural phenomenon. - Thunder is tame, and lightning pales before it. Darkness succeeds suddenly ( to light, and we tremble lest the sun forever turn into darkness and the moon into blood. Arago says, in his splendid description of the total eclipse which he witnessed in the South of France, in 1842, in the presence of 20,000 im pro vised astronomers :' 'When the sun, narrowed to a mere line, began to throw over the horizon but a faint light, an anxiety spread through , the. whole crowd. Each man felt impelled to communicate his impressions to his neighbor. Then began a dull roar, like that of a distant sea ' after a tempest.'.'. -The noise became louder in proportion to the thinning of the slender solar- cresnt Finally the crescent vanished. Darkness succeeded t suddenly to the light, and an absolute-silence , marked this phase of the eclipse as sharply ., as did the pendulum of our astronomical clock. '. The phenomenon, in its magnificence, had triumphed over the restlessness of youth, over the ; frivolity, which certain men take for a sign of superiority, and over the noisy indifference - of which the soldiers ordinarily make their 'boastl A profound calm reigned, too, in the air ; even the birda ceased, their 'song. 'After a solemn .waiting of about two ' rninutfiS 'duration, - transports Of joy, frantic applause, saluted, with' the same accord, the same spontaneity,' the reappearance of the first solar rays.7 fN.

PubtTo Schools;

The German population of New York is da mend ing various reforms in the publis schools of that State among others, that competent teachers of gymnastics shall be appointed for each school, and and regular hours devoted to physical exercise, the same as is now given to mental labor. We are glad lo see this movement, and if it csn be successfully introduced into the schools of the East, it will notbe long la working its way out West. Children are very generally what either their mental, moral or physical training make them. If tbe morals are not properly" developed, the growth will be a bad one ; tbe intellect tying fallow produces no fruit, ' and the child to whom no invigorating exercises of the body are given will be puny and tender. If his brain is constantly given employment at the expense of his muscles, he cannot be actire or healthy. : r ? J A. strong mind always invariably accompanies a strong body. An eminent surgeon at Philadelphia, who haa for years made the cure of deformed children bis study, and who has restored hundreds to their proper bodily condition, says that while in almost every instance of physical distortion, there ha S been a sympathetic distortion of the mental faculties, and that he has never cured a single caie of malformation of body in which there was not at once to be perceived an increase of intellectual pow er. As the distorted limbs ' sssumed their proper shape, and performsd their natural functions, so did tbe brain, in answer to the redeemed body, exert a renewed rigor.' ' One o' our late exchanges brings us aa account of a boy who died in New Bedford, Mass., from the result of severe application to study, in the endeavor to qualify himself for promotion at the beginning of the following school year. But where one sucb case as this is recorded, there are thousands of ethers, le.48 sudden in their effects, but not less fatal ia the end, of which no account is ever taken. - , .; - At a late meeting of the Wisconsin State Medical Society, when tbe subject of 'Debility in children, es pecially with reference . to the evils of over-taxing children in our schools was under discussion. I)t. Morehouse said : , "In our common schools of the present day (every where, but more especially in cities and the larger villages, where the best teachers are sought and generally obtained,) every inducement, every incen tive that can be deviled and brought to bear to stim ulate and encourage study, is faithfully and persist ently applied. Tbe consequence is, that many of our brightest and best children, of from six to ten yeara of age, are performing more study, more mental la bor, than most of the business men, or more than their teachers. ; 1 am aware that many children are sluggish in their temperament, and will bear and seem to require great urging to get them to learn ; yet with many of this class, it is their rapid growth that takes away their energy, and eren - ability to study ; and, consequently, you must fail to get them to learn much until they cease . to grow so rapidly. or, if you succeed in getting study out of them , you induce anaemia. What else can you expect ? You cannotget more from the blood than there is in it ; and since the blood mast supply nourishment to the brain and tbe bod v,, and all its organs, for their growth, besides repairing the waste of all their ex-r . ertions, it follows that, ; whenever you tax that fluid beyond its income, anaemia is the result." The facts and recommendations adduced by Dr. Morehouse, were considered of such value, that the Society adopted a resolution, requesting tbe general publication by tbe press of the country of the Doc tor's sddiess. ' ' An ', odd ' instance of the power of "cloi ryoy anco"; recently occurred in Providence, R. I. An unfortunate lady lost a pearl of great price. 'Clairvoyant' No.' 1 said it was. in the ash-barrel.

Now, if cither No. 1 or No. 2 had made a good guess there being one chance in several million of such, happy con jecture there would have been , ninety and v nine converts immediatlev, who would all have believed and trembled, who' would have talked nonsense 'about the eweet,florescent,sempiternal spheres and have expected the noisiest evening visits from their great-grand mother. . : ! .tf.l: - !,... : "' 7 ' ,. . ... y ... rlt is curious to ; notice how Brigham Young'a . professions .; vary on various occasions.

"Within tbe esuing ten days the poll-" - cyof the "Administration regarding the pending campaigns in the South will assume a more definite form, decidedly -favorable to the anti-Dent Republicans in Mississippi, and the Davis Radicals ; in .

He reports that tbe President was sufficiently emphatic in his denunciations of the Dent movement to satisfy him that the moral influence if not the active . political . power,, of the Administration will be used agaiust Dent. ' ; "Presiden Grant is reported to have written a letter to Dent, .advising him not to have anything to do with the new Conservative movemcnt,and finally asking him not to accept the j nomination for; Governer.if it is tendered to him by that party.

The President is . also reported to have expressed doubt as to the sincerity of the new found allegiance of tbe Sourthern Democrats to the , Republican party, and to have declared that tbe refusal of tbcConservattve Republicans in Virginia to accept tbe offer of conciliation made by tbe Radicals, is sufficient proof that their ultimate object is extinction of the Republican party. In short, he looks npon the refusal as an act which re-establishes the old party lines in the South and hereafter will treat Conservatives as Democrats.'. In other words, having tried a perilous ex periment in Virginia, and proved . tbe dishonesty of the Southern leaders, be will, in the future, profit by his expcrU ence, and trust only in men whose Re publicanism is assured by acts already preformisd, rather than by promises for the future." Cm. Commercial. - Gov. Sentcr's majority in Tennessee will be quite large, as we have always anticipated probably not less than 60,000 -as he had the . entire Dem. vote and a full half of the Republican. The verdict in favor of removing all political disabilities and disfranchisements ia clear and overwhelming. : : . .,-., As to the new Legislature, we receive tbe telegraphic reports with allowance and circumspection. Many of those elected on theSenter ticket are simply liberal Republicans though claimed as . "Conservatives." Tbe wish is lather to the thought that they will, vote to make Andrew Johnson a U. S. Senator.. ; If they do, they will evince a readiness to repudiate the National Debt that . does little credit to their integrity, and even less to their. patriotism. ., .; .. ;. ; ? TEMPERANCE AND PAUPERS A boot thirty years ago, a few citizens of New Braintree, in MassacBeaetts,met together and resolved that tbe best interests of the town required a tavern in which spirituous liquors should not be sold, as the fact was patent to all that too many of the young men in the place would congregate at the "village inn,'and were forming habits of social drinking. After talking over the importance of tbe matter, and satisfying themselves that the enterprise they proposed would not prove o paying one, they subscribed some 7,000, built a hotel, furnished it, engaged a landlord to run it free of rent. Soon after this reform, the people of the town came to the conclusion that it was unprofitable business to farm out the poor of tbe town, as bad long been tbe practice, to the lowest bidder and at a town meeting they voted to buy a poor-house farm,, And put the poor at work. .This was carried, into , effect. -Twenty-five years have passed away, and, going to that quiet thrifty town not long ago,, tho stage-driver said to us, on passing the "poor-bouse farm.'-' "There is a funny place.". Why ao ?"'we asked. "Because, it is the poorbouse farm,: and not a pauper tn it. And I suppose - the reason is, some thirty years ago a temperance tavern was started here no liquors have been sold, snd there is no drinking t ct drunienneei, and not a pauper, tn ' J"Non-paying subscribers are thus talked of by a Western editor, who exs presses our sentiments most fully : "Wagons cannot run without wheels, boats without steam,' bullfrogs jump without legs or newspapers be carried on 'everlastingly without money, no more than a dog can wag his tail when he has none. Our subscribers are .all good, but what good does a man's goodness do when it don't do any good ? We have no doubt that every one thinks -that all have paid except him and as we are clever fellows, and his account a little matter, it makes' no difference."' Wc notice by the Cambridge T. ibuhe . that' the editor of that paper, and. his father, Gen. Sol. Mkbedith, are East on a visit, for recreation and health. May they get both abundantly.
