The National debt amounts to about $30 for each inhabitant of the United Stated. In Belgium the debt per capita is $64; in Italy, $70; in the Netherlands, $90; in France, more than $100; in Great Britain, $109, and in Spain, $150. The annual interest charged in this country is but about 80 cents per head, while in England and France it is over $4 per head. Solon Chase, of Maine, told me how his steers got into politics, says the New York Graphic gossiper. He said he had a pair which decreased in weight while they grew in statue and age. He sought to ascertain who got their food. He drove the animals to a Greenback meeting, to illustrate how the country increased in deb while it seemed to .prosper and Solon's steers became the war cry of the Greenbaokers. A numb kb of English families have begun the importation of Norwegian girls for domestic service. Those who have accepted places give much satisfaction. They are spoken of as giantesses in. size, the possessors of hands and feet modeled upon nature's broadest plan and showing great goodnature. They can't speak a word of English, but seem willing to learn, and are wonderfully patient on washing days with children and pug dogs. An animated controversy has been carried on for some time in the columns of a London paper as to whether vultures discover their prey by means of sight or smelL No two writers seem to be able to agree upon the point. Many curious instances of the marvelous power of the vulture for discovering carrion are quoted. These , birds have been known to travel twenty miles after the carcass of a dead cow buried under a heap of leaves, while after the battle in an open desert the air is full of them. Thbbb is a tale about General Butler in New Orleans which has never been told in the North. He placarded the city with bulletins, ordering this, that, and the other, and the people came to know that every order was certain to be enforced. A market gardener of the suburbs drove in one morning with his little son beside him on his wagon seat. He saw a placard on a fence. "J oknny,

read that to me," the father said. " 'Buy Leighton's shirts, the boy read. "You bet I will, first store we come to," 'said the father. "I don't want to have any trouble with the Yankees." The Census Bureau hps finished its computation of the aggregate wealth of the United States at the date of the census (1880), which fixes the figure at $13,642,000,000, the principal items being given as follows: Farm $10,197,000,000 Betddenoe and business real estate 9,s8i,ooo,coo All real estate exempt from tax. . . 2,000,000,000 RaMroads'and equipments 6,53,000,000 Tei egraphs, shipping, and canal . . 419,000,000 Live stock, farm toois and machinery : 3,036,000,000 Household furniture, clothing, pahitmtrp, books, jewelry, household Empties of food, fuel, etc. . 5,000,000,000 Mines, etc, with one-half the annual product 781,000,003 Three-fourths the annual product of affricultu ral an 1 manufactures and imports .of foreign goods 0,160,000,000 Spece 612,000,000 Total . . .$43,642,000,000

A prominent citizen of Ashbnrnham, Massachusetts, recently recorded a very cnrions will in the presence of three witnesses, which was acknowledged before a justice of the peace and accompanied by the legal fees for its recording. It says : "I, Charles Hastings, of Ashbnrnham, gentleman, in consideration of the love and good-will of the Lord Jesus and 1 cent found on the premises f of His, the rightful owner of all lands, as recorded in the first book of laws, tho Bible, fiftieth Psalm of Eing David, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth, and twenty-third and twentyfourth verses, the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge, do hereby give, grant, and convey onto the Lord Jesus, the supreme ruler of the universe, a portion of the late Col Joseph Jewett's land," etc. At a lectare in London the other day there sat in the forefront -of the audience an ancient dame, who plied an umbrella with vigor and pertinacity. It was in vain that "Husht was called, the umbrella still volleyed and thundered. At last the lecture concluded to a perfect fusillade from the old lady. Toole, the comedian, in returning

tKVflf to the lecturer, expressed his admiration. "The lecture has been warmly received, he said, "especially by one lady, whose name I do not know, but whose efforts I have witnessed with delight and whose acquaintance I should feel pride in making. In fact, if possible, I would like to come to terms with her for my next provincial tour. With such an ally success would be secure.0

At Buzzard Boost, N. C, unphilanthropic but enterprising men are mining white roek called "deception." This is ground to powder and sent to New York, where it is mixed with sugar or flower. It is said that 20 per cent of "deception rock can be thus mixed and the combination remain undetected. Terra alba was formerly used in cheap candies, but the manufacturers

of tliat class of goods now use this powder, as it is cheaper and less dangerous. Terra alba hardens in the stomach in a lump, just like plaster of paris, if eaten in large quantities, and causes spasms or convulsions. But this new powder seems to go through the system generally, causing it is said, many cases of Bright's disease. The sweets made by this process might be appropriately called rock-candy.' A legend obtains near Marshall, Texas, that many years ago a party of Mexican land pirates who had camped upon the banks of a body of water now known as Hendricks Lake, were pursued and put to flight by Texans or some other forces. In their extremity, rather than to have the large amount of gold, silver, and precious jewels with which all well regulated pirates are loaded, fall into the hands of the enemy they threw these treasures into the lake. The believers of this Captain Kid story in that locality have organized their force and propose to drain the lake in order to find the buried wealth. The lake is' over a mile long, half as wide, and twelve feet deep, but several steam engine and powerful pumps have been engaged and the hunters are hopeful. A lady visiting near Blois, in France, has just fallen a victim to her avarice and belief in supernatural agencies combined. She possessed a considerable fortune, but wanted to increase her riches, and for this purpose consulted a sorceress. The latter went to her residence, conferred with some invisible assistants, by whose advice the lady was told to place all her ' money in a certain drawer, not to open it for a given timfe, or the charm would be broken, and before retiring to rest to throw a marvelous white powder into the fire. If these conditions were carried out, the fortune, she was told, would be doubled. They were carried out, but the result was that while she abstained from opening the drawer the sorceress emptied it at leisure; and when she threw the white powder into the fire a terrible explosion ensued, she was very severely injured, and the house was set fire to. Chicago Current: It is a common thing to say, when a man fails in Wall street, that he has done no harm in the country, as it is merely a shifting of fortunes in the street In the case of Henry Yillard, however, it has been a very sad thing for Portland, Oregon, that his colossal fortune was suddenly dissipated into thin air. No less' than $7,000,000 of stock of the Oregon Transcontinental were owned in Portland. This property was bought at 100 and is to-day quoted at 8. The great hotel has stopped at the first story, with $200,000 spent on it. The

two magnificent steamers are nothing but an expense. The costly docks are put to no present use. The Ingleside, in making these statements, closes with the declaration that the crops are abundant and that the farmers are in a first-class condition. Had not the "little flurry11 happened at the lower end of New York City, a far-off community, which deserved better fate than does Wall Street, would to-day have been at the height of her fame and prosperity. Wall Street is truly the financial pulse of the nation. Should it not be a crime on the statute books greater than it is now to strike at the very heart of the country's welfaie? No officer of a great corporation, no person holding a fiduciary place of any kind, should be permitted by law to "speculate or "deal," or gamble "gamble" is the true word ; there is no false meaning attached to its use. The safety of the ship is in the hands of the engineer. A certificate of character and ability is properly demanded of him, for his mistakes are crimes, the least results of which are the calamities which fall upon his own head. , A Dentist Takes a Mean Advantage. A practical joker of the sly order is Dr. Henderson, a Brooklyn denlist The Doctor does not look like a pious divine, and his mode of conducting himself, coupled with a sanctimonious timbre of voice, completes the deception. It is said of the Doctor that during one of his exciting political campaigns he was hit in the eye by a prize-fighter. He was, of course, too much of a gentleman to engage in a scrimmage when he knew the odds were against him ; so he quiety bided his time. Some months later the prize-fighter had a bad tooth and dropped into the Doctor's office to have it pulled. The latter instantly recognized his assailant, but did not betray his emotions. By dint of eloquent persuasion he induced the prize

fighter to take laughing-gas, and when the ruffian had become unconscious the Doctor's old-time fire returned. Hurrying over to his old friend, Prof. William Clark, he borrowed a pair of boxing gloves and then returning to the office went to work at the prize-fighter. When the latter awoke he had two handsome black eyes, and his nose was bleeding with delightful freedom. "What is it?" asked the prize-fighter, when he opened his eyes. "Keep perfectly quiet," urged the Doctor, concealing his boxing gloves, under the chair, "you've fractured your jugular." Then he put a cork in his patient's mouth, extracted the tooth and charged him $2 for the job, advised him to go home and go to bed at once. The Doctor is always doing very funny things, but whenever he sees that prize-fighter he has to sit down for about an hour in some cool place and chuckle. New York Journals Vert intelligent people carry a large hare of their brains in their faces.

FAMOUS PENSIONERS

I'ro mix lent Men Who Have Figured on tho Fension liolls. It will be news to many that Abraham Lincoln, Frank Pierce, General Grant, William T. Sherman, and Jeff Davis have received anything from the government in the way of pensions, but their papers are all here, filed away in the division alloted to the Mexican War. They are done up in brown paper covers, and filed away with about a hundred thousand others, lining; the walls of an immenso office hall. They are curious papers, too, and in view of the times since their application they read with interest now. Grant's pension is a land warrant of 160 acres, given to him in 1851 for his service ns Second Lieutenant and liegimental Quartermaster in the Mexican War. His letter making the application is characteristic of the man. It is dated at Detroit, Mich., November G, 1850, is abominably written in Grant's own hand, and put in the fewest words possible, being signed U. S. Grant, First Lieutenant and It. Q. M. Fourth Infantry. Captain William T. Sherman's claim cyme's from St Louis, dated about the same time. It asks for two quarter sections of land, one for his Florida service, nd the other for his record in Mexico. The claim is presented by Tom Ewing, Jr.. his brothor-in-law. Abe Liiooln's claim was presented in 1855,, for his services in the Blackhawk 'War .which it cites he entered for an indefinite period and served for forty days. It is in Lincoln's handwriting,and was granted in 1855. At the same time Robert E. Lee, then employed at the U- S. Military Academy at West Point, sent papers here, for which he received 160 acres of land for his services as O jlonel in the Mexican War. Here, too, are the papers of General Scott asking for bounty land for his services in the War of 1812. They are signed by Scott, and were granted to him while he was General of the army here. Shortly after this come the papers by which Jeff Davis and Frank Pierce were allowed their land claims for servicesin the Mexican War. L. Waldo was the Commissioner of Pensions at this time, while Jeff Davis was Secretary of State, and Frank Pierce President. Pierce's application is made out in Waldo's handwriting, as is also that of Jeff Davis, and they both abound in fulsome praise of these two

officers. Both are indorsed by Waldo as special cases, and a note inclosed with eaph that they be left with him to be sent to the pensioners, and not to be mailed in the ordinary way. There are now on "the pension rolls eighty-two widows of Revolutionary soldiers, and forty-eight of these come from the Southern States. Nine are from Tennessee, eight from Georgia, eleven from Virginia, four from West Virginia, and twelve from North Caro-' lina. There is only one Revolutionary widow from Mississippi, one in Massachusetts, three in South Carolina, four in Ohio and New York, five in Maine and New Hampshire, seven in Vermont, and eight in Pennsylvania. Among the pensioners are the wives of three Presidents Mrs. Polk, who is livinginTenness.ee; Mrs. John Tyler, who is living at Richmond, Va.; and Mrs. James A. Garfield. Eadiof these receives $5,000 a year according to a special act of Congress. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln got from 1870 to 1882 a pension of $4,000. In 1882 it was increased to $5,000, which continued until her death. The daughter of another President,Zachary Taylor, also receives a pension at this time. It amounts to $50 a month, and is given for the services of Gen. Taylor in the Mexican War. The widows of Generals Isaac Stevens, E. D. Baker, Whipple, Sumner, Robert Anderson (the hero of Fort Sumter), James B. McPherson, A. B. Dyer, George H. Custer, (the Indian fighter), R. G. Ramsey, Buford, Blenkner, Daniel McCook. John A. Rawlins, Frank P. Blair, George H. Thomas, Surgeon General Woods, and Rear Admiral John Rogers receive from $30 to $50 a month. Tho widow of Admiral Farragut gets $2,000 a year by a special act, and Gen. Phil Kearney's widow did get $30 a month, but she has since married, and this sum now jyoes to her children. A curious claim now pending before the office of the War of 1812 is one presented by the widow of Anthony Casio, alias Anthony Castle. It asks for an increase of pension, and cites that Anthony Castle, who died in 1370 at Ann Arbor, Mich., joined the British forces in Canada; that he deserted in 1814, crossed on the ice to the American side of the river and entered the American service. After serving here for six months he was retaken by the Britfsh at a point six miles from Niagara Falls, court-martialed and sentenced to death. His sentence was, however, commuted to 800 lashes, from the results of which he never recovered, and for which a pension was granted him. This pension his widow asks to have increased.

Writes Letters in Her Sleep. The Montreal Star tells strange stories of a young lady living a short distance from that city. It appears that within the last few months she exhibited all the symptoms of somnambulism. While apparantly asleep she would rise, and, with her eyes tightly cloned, could walk down stairs with perfect safety. It was found that after performing these singular feats she would return to her bed, and, on awaking in the morning, could never recall the circumstances to mind. A short time ago, her friends, who regarded her present state with great anxiety, tried an experiment. One evening recently, when she was found walking in her sleep, a gentleman, procuring pen and paper, requested her to write a letter. She obeyed mechanically, and, sitting down, wrote a note to an absent friend,correct in every respect, although her eyes at the same time were closed. A singular fact was that the writing throughout was excellent, the words being written precisely along the lines. At times she conversed while in this state quite freely aud correctly. Recently, though, exhibiting the same symptoms, she has kept her eyes open, which, however, only give a vacant staro. On another occasion, while starting out for a drive, she became unconscious, and tho next

moment revived, only to be found in her old state. She was asked to drive, and, at tho bidding of a friend, took the reins. On returning home she became herself again, and when acquainted with her strange actions, felt greatly surprised. The young lady is very prepossessing, and is about 18 years of age. About a year ago she had a se

rious attack of brain fever, and her ;

medical attendant attributes her strange conduct to that cause. She feels the position in which she is placed very keenly. Several doctors have expressed themselves as puzzled with the case, and she will be taken to Boston shortly to visit some of the lights of the medical profession to see if any re lief can be afforded her. W hat's in a Name. "toy name is Melankton Stubbs, and everybody makes fun of me on account of the name. Tho boys call me nicknames, such as Stub-toe, Stubbsy, and everything they can think of, and the girls laugh at me and snicker, and they wont go anywhere with me, the boys bother them so, and I don't believe, if I ever get to bo a man, any girl would ever marry me and change her name to Stubbs. I don't know what my folks could have been thinking of to put that name 'Melankton,' on before Stubbs, They call me 'Lank Stubbs, and I wish I was dead. Ain't there any way of getting such a name changed to something that sounds poetical, like Montmorency, or Stuyvesant? Please help a boy out." Well, "Stubsy'come here, and hitch up your galluses a little, so both pants legs will come down to your ankles evn. Stubsy, the name don't amount to a row of no headed pins. While the boys and girls are having fun with you, you study like a white head, and beat them all at the examination, and when the teacher awards the prize to "Mr. Melankton Stubbs' in the presence of the whole school, and the visitors, you will think the name sounds better than ever before. The scholars will say, "Bully for Stubsy," and it wont hurt your feelings at all, and when the visitors congratulate you, you will feel full as well as though your name was Montmorency, and when some old citizen says in the grocery, 'That boy of old Stubbs, walked away with all of the school," the name of Stubbs will sound good to you. Some day a stranger will see your father on 'the street, and ask who he is, and a citizen will say "That is old Stubbs, the father of the smartest bey in school9 and the stranger will be looking for such a boy to give a business chance. You will go right up to the head in business, and the boys who now make fun of you will wish their names were Stubbs. If you attend to your studies while the other bQys are making fun of you, the time will come when the girls will be yearning for young Stubbs. They will think there is music in the name. If you go bellowing around like a calf, because they call you Stubbs, and hate yciyself, you will nevejr amount to anything, and you might better be Stubbs than Montmorency. A fool by the name of Montmorency it more of a laughing stock than a smart boy named Stubbs. If you will show that you are not sensitive about your name, and call yourself "Lank Stubsy," and appear to enjoy it, and go about your business and learn for all that is out, they will call you "Mr. Stubbs" when you become a man of some prominence. It all comes of your sensitiveness. The writer once stood at a case in a printing office, and a new printer came and took a case beside him, whose name was Van Dusen. The new printer sized up the crowd that day, and that night while the boys were wasing the dirt otf their hands at the sink, Van Dusen propounded his platform, which was as follows : "The first fellow that calls me Doosenberry will get a head put on him." Nobody had though of calling him Doosenberry, and nobody wanted to be whipped, but the name Doosenberry got to running in the heads of the bovs, and the next morning the writer was the first one to walk up to the case and say to the new comer, "Good morning, Doosenberry." It was an accident caused by his sensitiveness, and the writer saw in a minute that he had got his foot in it, and was to be whipped, and he turned pale, and was scared, but Van Dusen looked upon the remark, and the pale, determined air as a challenge to fight, and he weakened. Looking at the pale, red-headed coward who had called him a fighting name by a slip of the tongue, and who had assumed an attitude to be mauled, Van Dusen smiled a sickly smile and said, "That is $11 right for you, but if these other fellows call me Doozenberry they will get thumped' Then they all called him Doozenberry, and he put on his coat and walked out of the office and never showed up again. So you see, "Stubsy," that a fellow's sensitiveness gets him into all the trouble. Peck's Sun. Forests and Climate. The effect that the disappearance of forests has upon climate receives new illustration every day, says the American Cultivator. In Italy the clearing of the Appenines is believed to have seriously changed the climate of the Po valley, and now the African sirocco, never known to the armies of the ancient Homes, breathes its hot, blighting breath over the right bank of the river in the territory of Parma.' The removal of the pine forests near Ravenna induced the same desolating wind; and the same destruction o;' the old forests of the Vosges and of the Cevennes has had like deteriorating influences upon the climate. In Egypt, where during tho French occupation of 1798 not a drop of rain fell for sixteen months, and where from time immemorial the country has been a rainless bed of sand, Mohammed Ali, by planting his millions of fig trees, has seen his countrv blessed with an annual rainfall of several inches. Doubly Accessary. Patient "Doctor, I want you to prescribe for me." Doctor (after feeling of her pulse) "There is nothing the matter, madam. All you need i rest." Patient "Now, aren't you mistaken, Doctor? Please study my case care fully. Just lcok at my tongue." Doctor "That needs rest, too.

Anecdote of. Daniel Webster. Every one who has read Mr. George Ticknor Curtis' Life of Daniel IFeftuter will remember- John Tavlor, Mr. Webster's tenant and factotum at Franklin, Now Hampshire, and Kobert "Wise, the old Revolutionary Soldier who tame home from the war with Captain libenezer Webster, Mr. Webster's father, and built for himself a little cottage on one corner of the Webster farm, where he lived and died. Skirting the Webster property, and passing by the spot where Robert Wise took up his humble abode, there had long been a ferry way, leading to a ferry across the Merrimac Eiver. The ferry was established during the last century, and after Robert Wise had lived there for some time it was called Wise's Ferry. The ferry way w is originally fenced on both sides, and it ran between the Webster farm and a farm belonging, at the time of which we are about to speak, to Deacon Farley. The fence on Webster's side of the ferry way had been allowed to fall into decay, but the fence on the Farley side had been well kept up. In the year 1818, after a bridge had been built across the river, the town voted to discontinue the ferryway and the ferry, and the land reverted, of course, to the original owner. Deacon Farley, assuming that the land belonged to himself, removed all traces of the fence on his own side, and included the whole of the land in his own territory up to the line where the Webster fence formerly stood. Mr. Webster came up to Franklin soon after this had been done, and was greatly incensed by what he saw. He ordered John Taylor into his sittingroom, and said to him, sternly, "John Tavlor, how came you to stand still and let Deacon Farley steal my land?" Mr. Webster was in one of his blackest moods. Poor Taylor was terribly frightened, for all in his life he had never seen his friend in such a towering passion. Mr. Webster ordered hint, in tones of thunder, to go and bring Deacon Farley. The Deacon canie, and he too was saluted with a burst of wrath that made him tremble. He modestly replied that he believed the land was his; but Mr. Webster could not be pacified. Thereupon the Deacon and John Taylor jumped into a wagon and drove in great alarm te see a young lawyer, of the name of Pike (now Senator in Congress from New Hampshire), who lived two and a half miles up the river. They told Pike that he must go down and see Mr. Webster and endeavor to explain the matter. Pike went, but as soon as he was in Mr. Webster's presence the latter roared out, "Young man, did you advise Deacon Farley to steal my land?" "No, sir," said Pike; "I did not. But if the statements that were laid before me are true, the land belongs to the Deacon' "Well, sir," replied Webster, "if I can find a lawyer in this county, I shall bring an action. n "There is no need of that, Mr. Webster," said Pike. I will get the proper documents and submit them to you, if you will hear me, and I believe you will be convinced that the land is not yours." "You are a bold man, sir, if you propose to leave the case to me," said Mr. Webster. "But do as you please. I give you fair warning that I consider this land mine, and I will fight for every inch of my father's property." Pike went away and procured a copy of the record which showed the laying out of the ferryway, and that all the land was taken from the property of F arley's grantor and ncne of it from the Webster property, a copy of the vote of the town discontinuing the ferry, and an affidavit of a former tenant of Webster's showing that the fence on Webster's side had been removed and the whole ferryway taken into the Webster field. The strip of land which the discontinuance of the ferryway took off from what Mr. Webster had always regarded as his own property extended the whole length of one of his best fields. When Pike submitted the documents to Mr. Webster, the latter read them very carefully, and then said: "Mr. Pike, in half an hour the jury will be ready to render their verdict. Go and Ret Deacon Farley, that he may hear it." In half an hour Pike returned with the deacon, who expected to hear nothing but a repetition of what he had met before. "Gentlemen," said Mr. Webster, "hearken to the verdict The jury find that the land is Deacon Farley's, and is not the land of Daniel Webster. So say the foreman, so say all the jury. And now, Deacon Farley, I have an apology to make to you for having treated you very roughly. But I never dreamed that this land was not a part of my father's farm, and you know what my affection for this property is. I was very angry, but I hope you will exouse me"- Harper's Magazine. A Story of Black Jack, It is a well known fact that John A, Logan, who was a member of Congress at the time the war began, left Washington when he saw there was going to be a fight, and seizing a musket, walked all all the way to Bull Run, where he arrived just in time to take part in the battle. He had on a swallow-tail coat, but he stood up to the rack as long as anybody did. He was back in Washington the next morning a good deal out of breath, and was telling some of his fellow Congressmen all about it. "Who gave you this account of the fight?" asked a member from the north woods of New York. "Why, I was there myself," said Logan. The New Yorker evidently had not heard the news, for he seemed a little mystified and asked, as is wishing to solve the mystery of Logan's speedy reappearance: "Are the cars running?" "No," said Logan, "the cars ain't running, but every other d d thing in the State of Virginia is, as near as I could tnake out." Chicago Herald. A man that loves his own fireside and can govern his house without falling by the ears with his neighbors, or engaging in lawsuits, is as free as a duke of Venice, Montaigne.
