According to the last report of the United States Commissioner of Agriculture, it appears that 7,600,000 per sons in the United States are engaged' in agricultural pursuits.

A telegram from Hong Kong, states that a terrific typhoon has ravaged' Western Tonquion. Two hundred churches, thirty-four parsonages and colleges;and2,000 houses have been destroyed, and 6,000 christians ruined, who are without resources. The losses are immense, and the distress terrible, he telegram begs for promptest help. There is one pinching place in the prosperity of the country. The cost of living has been greatly increased while the wages of labor remain stationary, yet it was labor that created our prosperity; There's an unsolved problem of statesmanship of huge dimenUons in this situation. The population of some parts of India is being decimated oy a scourge of "choleric fever." From Mecca, in Arabia, there are reports of ravages by cholera. In this country malarial diseases have never been so prevalent as at present. In the East, West and South much sickness is reported. an American citizen, named Chester, while traveling in Chili and Peru during the late war between the two countries, was arrested by the Chilian commander at Callao, and cast in a dungeon, has filed a claim for $50,000 in the State Department at Washington for damages against the Chilian Government. Several years ago a colored man named Lewis, at New York, died, leaving $1,500,000 to the government to pay the national debt. His heirs contested the will and have fought in every court for it, but it is now decided that the executors of the estate must account to the Government for every dollar of the legacy. 7 Dtjeikg the month ol October the Govern men t received from customs $18,200,000; from internal revenue ( whisky and tobacco prin cipally ) , $15j? 200,000,and from miscellaneous sources, $4,000j000 or a grand total of $37,400,000. The total expenditures during the same time weie, including 4,000 i000 for pensions, $16,000,000. : The final report of the assignee in the case of Mrs. Sarah E. Hp we,, oMhe fraudulent Ladies Deposit Bank of Boston, now in jail, and awaiting trial on the charge of "crooked" transactions as manager of the so-called bank, has been submitted to the court. It shows that 1 ,074 depositors have proved claims amounting to nearly $400,000. Gen. Roger A. Pryor, in speaking of the Confederate bond speculation, says: "It is merely gambling." These investors think a time mayicome when the bonds will be salable at something more than they are paying for them noWiThey will never be worth any thing unless they sell as curiosities. The value of Confederate bonds is null, and the South will never pay a penny of that debt."

Smitten in conscience, or scourged by assessments, the people of Douglassville Penny, who have been dealing largely in graveyard insurance, have resolved to march in solemn procession, led by a dirge-playing band to the public square, and then and there commit their policies to flames that will purify their town of the iniquity. The United' States Deputy Marshal at Boston hits summoned for the defense in the Guiteau case the following named witnesses: v Norwood 'Damon, David Erskhie (in whose house the as-

sasin boarded), and Frank L. Union. The witness.es are to report in Washington on the 14th instant. John! W. Guiteau, the assassin's brother, has h en engaged to bring thirty-six letters and two family- Bibles, to be used in evidence;

The Agricultural Department has revised its estimates of the crops tif corn and wheat for 80 and '81 and now estimate the crops of wheat for'80 at a total of 498,549,868, both winter and Spring.

The average yield of corn per acre for '80 was 27 J bushels and for '8119 2-3 bushels. The story- about General Grant? eighty-two cases of valuable presents is pronounced a falsehood by Mrs. Grant, who says that few of the presents received abroad by the General were valuable, and that the great bulk of the contents of the cases consisted of articles purchased by him, his son- Fred and Mr. John Russell ?Young.v- She say sj further, that it was the General's practice while abroad to discourage or refuse the presentation to him of valuable gifts. The assets of the wrecked Mechanics' National Bank of Newark, N. J as reported by the Govern men t examiner, amount to $2,035,252.98. and the liabilities $4,549,253.43. The actual deficiency is $2,411,000.45, which is to be made up by assessment on stockholders partly.

SteRRErARY Hunt has received the report of the Naval Advisory Board which has had under consideration the reorganisation f the navy. The report saa that there are. now only twenty-one ships of war efficient or worth repairing, and the construction immediately of forty-one ships of various classes is recommended. Wood is considered the beso material for gunboats, and for vessels of all other kinds a steel keel covered with wood and sheathed with copper. The cost of the forty-one vessels is estimated at f&l,000,000, and it Wili take eight years to finish thrm.

The London correspond fc t or the New York World says: ''The chief topic of conversation, cutside of Irish aflairs, is the York town celebration, and more especially the saluling of the British flag. Nothing that has occurred for many years has bo deeply gratified the English people. The mark of good will from Americans is more es

teemed than if all the other nationsn

the world had combined to pay a compliment to England. It is impossible to exaggerate the impression which the incident has created in the public mind. President Arthur's graceful and dignified remarks have given the greatest pleasure to all classes, and beyond doubt will bo most, gratifying to the Queen, whose high respect for the Americans has been often manifested. She has never forgotten the mangnificent reception accorded to the Prince of Wales in I860."

Secretary Lincoln has appointed Thomas B Lynch to the position of a messenger in the War Department. Lvneh's career has been somewhat remarkable. In 1660 he enlisted with Colonel Keogb,"the late Secretary 'of the National Ilepublican Committee, and the two became fast fi lends. After the war Lynch drifted northward and took part in the Fenian raids. He was captured in Canada and sentenced to death. The Queen commuted his sen

tence and he went to prison. He spent

five years in prison making shoes and was released. An outcast, ho wandered, penniless and starving, over several States of the Union, and flanally drifted into Washington. Meeting Colonel Keogh in that city the other day, tho two went to Secretary Lincoln, and the Colonel told the story of his friend's adventures, with the re suit as stated above.

The Supreme Court of tho United States has jnst rendered an important decision, holding that where an agent deposits the money of the concern which he represents with his own money, and although he keep but one account, the bank is directly responsible to the concern, and the concern's money can her covered from it,ihough the agent may have drawn the money on his. personal account; also, that if money held by a person ia a fiduciary capacity though not as a trustee, has been paid by him to his account at his banker's, the person from whocn he holds the money c r. follow it, and has a charge on the balance in the Banker's hands, even though it is mixed up with the deposi tor's -own money. The sam e court held that a penalty for failure to pay . premium expressed in an insurance policy can be enforced in all caseM, regardless of all excuses or reasons that may be assigned. iTis again reported in New York that the body of the late merchant prince. A, T. Stewart, which was stoled from the place of its interment, sometime ago has been recovered; The body, it is said, was recovered through the agency of &n impecunious lawyer in-New York, who received $12,000 of the $37,000 paid for it. The men who, it is alleged stole the body, are Frank McCoy, alias Big Frank, companion of Red Leary, Dan Noble, Baltimore Denis, and Johnny Jpurdan a most expert and dangerous hank robber Canada Mack, a bosom companion of McCoy, and one John Scott, alias Scotty. These compose also the trio of worthies through whom the lawyer above referred to recovered the body for Mrs. Stewart, the condition precedent being that McCoy, Mack and Scott should enjoy immunity from ar rest. In pursuance of this infamous arrangement the body of the hitherto unhurried dry goods millionaire was

secretly conveyed to Garden City, and interred there on Tuesday night last. Judge Hilton , it is said , was n o pari y

to the arrangement, his determination being that the sacrillgeous depredators should be prosecuted with the utmost rigor of the law. r The State Board of Health met at Indianapolis last Thursday and organized by the election of Dr. Job n W.

but it retains most oi its eany reuuai

features and is full of stramre. passage

lead no one knows whither, and an

1415, Earls of Kinghoruc in 1000, and Earis of Stralhrnore in 1677. What

now in h s 57th year. JPive years ago, in 1876. his son ahd heir: Lord Glamis,

came of age. Being the l a Lieutenant in the liife Gurds. he promised sev

Marry a Gentleman. Woman at Work. It was excellent advice I saw lately given to young ladies urging them to marry only gentlemen or not to marry at all. The word was1 ued iu its broadest,trucst sense. It did not have reference to those who had fine raiment and whiie hands,and the veneering of society polidi, merely, to entitle them to the distinction, but to tlfose posssessed of true manly and noble qualities; hower&r hard Xpe'T hands and sun browned their faces A true gentleman U generous and i unselfi h. He regards another's happiness and welfare rs' well as his own. You will see the trait running through all his actio r 8. A man wno is a bear at home among his sisters and discourteous to his mother, is just the man to avoid when you ' coma to the great nneation which is to be answered yes or

no. A man may be ever so rustic in his early surroundings, if he is a true gentleman he will not bring a blush to your cheek in any society by his abturd behavior. There is an instinctive politeness inherent in suchachata.cter, which everywhere commands respect and makes its owner pass for what he is one of nature's noblemen. Dp not despair, girls ;, there aro such men still in the world. You need not all die old maids.' But wait until the princes pass by. No harm in a delay. You will not he apt to find him in the. ball-room and I know he w ill never hi seen walking up from the liquor saloon. Nor is he a champion bi)liardp!ayei. He has not had time to become a "champion1 f for he has had too much" honest, earnest work to do in the world. I have always observed that: these "cham pious" were seldom good for much else. Be very wary in5 choosing, girls,when go much is at stake. Do not mistake a passing fancy for undying love. Marrying in haste rarely ends well. ; Do not resent too much the "interference" of parents. You will travel long and far in thi3 world before you will find any one who has your true interest at heart more than your father and mother, aud age and experience has given them an insight into character which is much beyond your own. It is very unsafe to marry a man against whom so wise a friend has warned you. I nevez yet knew of a runaway match that was not followed bv deep trouble in one way or another, and matches made "in spite" are pretty sure to end

in Me-1 ing repentance. . . .r Drama m Keal Life. w York special. - Ad ramatic naicr publish ed to-ii ay
