The large Holstein bull Iroquois, for which $7,000 was recently refused, was killed recently, haying suddenly become savage and gored his keeper. His quarters weighed 1,450 pounds after

being dressed.

Jefferson Davis' nephew having died recently, none of his name of his family now survive except himself. He has been married twice, but has no male descendant who bears his name, his only, son having died a little while ago. A Boston spirit medium was detected using a telephone in his bJbinet He allowed his mouth to be filled with marbles and sealed with, courtplaster. By attaching the telephone to concealed wires tnat ran to a confederate in another part of the house, he nevertheless produced ghostly voices. Op the wheat imported into Great Britain for seven month? in 1881 the United States furnished 13,773,980, a little over half, India less than one sixth, Russia about one-tenth, Australia less than one-tenth; 876,057,000 pounds of flour were imported in the seven months, of this the United States sent 599,603,800 pounds. A Fbkxch Deputy, very careless of his attire, paid a vacation visit lately to his constituency, and at the station was seized by a traveler, who put a valise into his hands to carry for him. The Deputy took it to its destination, but declined the 5 cents tendered him saying, "Thanks, no, I don't need that; I have the honor of being your member." The French Railway Companies kre about to adopt an electric gate opener. A catch connected with an electromagnet keeps a gate closed. When a train approaches it closes the circuit, releases the catch, and the gate flies open. The last car on the train as it passes through opens the circuit, and the gate-is again dosed. The same device rings a bell violently on the approach of each train. Hole-ix-tke-Day was a big Indian chief, brave in war and cunning in the powwow, but Rev. Mr. Hole, of western Texas, makes a bigger 'orifice than the red chief, according to the Kerryvilie JEye, which says: "Rev. Mr. Hole can run a horse-race, and can make it hot - for his opponents in a foot-race ; he also con jump a hurdle, sing a song, and at the end of the week preach a very good sertnon withall.

A lady in Schenectady, New York, hid in a closet so as not to be compelled to see a lady visitor whom she saw approaching the house. Accidently the spring-latch on the door caught and she was a prisoner. She rapidly consumed- the air in the enclosure. After four hours imprisonment, her husband returned home, missed his wife, and found her in the closet insensible. A short time more and suffocation would have produced death. A Los Angeles, CaL, gentleman has brought from Guatemala a plant oalled the "melon shrub, which grows to the height of about three feet. It is an evergreen, with a beautiful purple and white flower, and bears, a fruit shaped like a rifled cannon shell, about four inches long, by from two to three inches in diameter. This curious little shrub bears a melon of most exceleent taste, with the outside streaked with yellow and brown, and an inside the color of a canteloupe. The shrub blossoms and bears in four months from the seed. . A certain collector in Syracuse must need a patent pajr of pantaloons, judging from his plan of operations. When a man persistently declines to pay he is called upon by this collector, who wears a very large, tall hat, on which is displayed in gilt letters: "Commercial Agency; Collector of Hard Accounts." He calls every day until some arrangement is made satisfactory to both parties, or until the debt is paid. The collectors daily calls soon attract the attention of people, and his business is fully defined on his hat. The scheme is said to work first rate. Max Gkn. Dillon, just appointed to the command of the Lahore Division 9 of the Indian army, is one of the most notable veterans in that service. He served under Colin Campbell (Lord Clyde) in the first war with China ,ook part in the final campaign against the Sikes, and held a prominent place during the mutiny in the Oude field force, being severely wounded at Cawnporew He was with Sir Hope Grant in his Chinese expedition, accompanied Lord Napier of Magdala to Abyssinia, and has since been aid-de-camp to the Queen. He belongs to the well-known Dillon family of Ireland. President Woolsey entered the corporation as President of Yale College in 1846, After resigning the presidency, in 1871, he was re-elected to the corporation in the same year, and has been a member ever since. He was graduated at Yale in 1820 ; studied theology at Princeton; became a tutor at Yale in 182 and in 1831 was elected

Professor of Greek. The venorabie ex-president will be 83 years old the last of this month, and has been connected withe the college almost continuously for sixty-seven years. He is now on the Republican ticket as a Blaine and Logan Elector. The agricultural returns of Great Britain, taken on June 4th last, shows that there are 6,241,127 cattle, 26,037,217 sheep and lambs, and 2,582,333 pigs. Compared with the ntmber two years since, there has been an increase of 7-J per cent, in cattle, over 7 per cent, in sheep, and nearly 3 per cent, in pigs. There has a!.s5 been an increase in the acreage of grain crops. In Ireland there has been a decrease in acreage under tillage, but ; slight in: crease in number of cattle, sheep, and horses, pigs showing a slight decrease. The long drought in Georgia has given vent to much superstition among negroes, who are holding meetings for the purpose of turning away Divine wrath. In Henry County the negroes assert that a child was born with three teeth, lived three hours and died, after having spoken three words. "Three dry yeafti." which the colozed people interpret to mean three years of famine. On Saturday a black child was born in Troupe County,' which died during the night. The attendants insist that it said before death, ".Five years without rain." These two incidents are firmly believed by colored people, who expect their literal fulfillment. The telegraph operators of the country, says the Current, may feel some gratification in knowing that the great strike cost the Western Union $1,000,000. But what an uncomfortable thought it is this fact that a whole industrial guild has no other empfoyment than that which eta be found at the hands of two employers, the Western Union and the Baltimore and Ohio Companies. For that matter we may say one employer, the Western Union. It is as tohugh a man were the best shoemaker in the world, and when he asked for a recognition of certain rights, his boss might say: "Go learn come other trade, it you don't want to work for me on my terms. Cattle-raising is the chief vocation in Montana and the neighboring territories; but cattle-stealing is. a vocation not far behind it. And the curious part of it is that there is no region in the world where horse and cattle stealing is attended with greater dangers. Detection is followed by certain death. The life of a horse or cow thief in that rude country is not worth the price of twenty feet of inch rope. There is very little of judicial ,law in Montana, but there is a good deal of concrete justice, which, perhaps, is quite as good. It is stated that fifty stock thieves have been lynched in the territory in the last six months. Seven were ha aged in a group in one spot and at one time a few weeks ago. And yet, in spite of this summary way of dealing with the thieves, the stealing business continues to flourish. It extends over areas hundreds of miles in extent from the upper part of California to the British line and from Oregon to the Missouri River and it is estimated that several hundred persons are engaged in it. They descend on the herd at night, separate as many animals as they can take care of, and drive them to distant points to be disposed of. It is difficult and dangerous to pursue them, as they frequently operate in gangs, and are more than a match for the small parties gathered to follow them. In the last twenty-two years the national debts have increased, from $13,000,000,000 to $28,000,000,000. This is apart from municipal and corporate indebtedness, which, during the past quarter of a century, have been added to prodigiously. The only nations that have succeeded in getting rid of any part of their national obligations are the United States and Great Britain. We are liquidating our indebtedness at a rate unexampled in the history of the world. Great Britain's debt was greatest just at the close of the Crimean war, when it amounted to 825,000,000 sterling. At last accounts it was 783,000,000. The Egyptian war, however, will probably add another 25,000,000 to the national debt ?f Great Britain. But in all the rest of the wqfld there is a steady and immense increase in the national debts, as well as in corporate obligations. Capitalists and bondholders are growing in importance and power, due to the rapid increase of national and corporate indebtedness. We hear much of the reign of the people, but the real rulers of the nations to-day are the plutocrats, the great bankers,, money-lenders, and creditors of the government, and the great corporations. There will be a revolt some day against this unnatural domination, and a general agreement will be come to to repudiate national debts. The only foremost nation which seems likely to honor all ite obligations is the United States of America.

THE LABORS OF GEMUS.

"Many people," chirps a witty observer, "have a very peculiar kind of religion. It resembles the portrait which the young girl wanted to have painted, which was to be a perfect likeness of her lover, but not recognizable by any one else."

Plato's Thirteen Versions of a Sentence Six Days to a Single Article. The great 'Plato, whose thoughts seemed to come so easy, is said to have toled over his manuscripts, working with slow and tedious elaboration. The opening sentence of "The liepublic" on the author's tablets was' found to be written in some thirteen different versions. When death called him from his work the 'great philo sopher was engaged at his desk "combing and curling and weaving and unweaving his writings after a variety of fashions." The celebrated French critic, SainteBeuve, was accustomed to devote six days to the preparation of a single one of his weekly articles. A large portion of his time was passed in the retirement of his chamber, to which, on such occasions, no individual with the exception of his favorite servant was allowed to enter under any circumstances whatever. Here he wrote those critical papers which carried captive the heart of France, and filled with wonder the cultivated mind ever where. The historian, Gibbon, in speaking of the manner in which he wrote his "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," said: "Many experiments were made before I could hit the middle tone between a dull tone and and a rhetorical declamation. Three times did 1 compose the first chapter, and twice the second and third, before I was toJerably satisfied with their effect" Lamb toiled most laboriously over his essays. These papers, which long ago became as classics in the English language, which are replete with the most delicate fancies, were composed with the most exacting nicety. Yettbeir author is regarded the world over as possessed of genius of a high order. La Rochefoucauld was occupied for the space of fifteen years in preparing for publication his little work called 'Maxims, n rewriting many of them more than thirty times The great Balzac, after he had made -apian of a novel, and had, after the most laborious research, gathered together the materials which he was to embody in it, would lock himself in his private apartment, shut out all the light of day, and then, by the aid of his study lamp, he would toil day and night over the. work before him. His servants, knowing so well his peculiar habits, would attend to his every want, bringing him the necessary food and drink with which to sustain his physical needs, and thus he would toil ou and on, until finally, with his task completed, as he thefaght, he would come forth from his retirement looking more dead than alive. But invariably his task would not be altogether satisfactory to him, after all. for again he would seek the seclusion of his chamber to rearrange and make more perfect that which he had before supposed wholly complete. Then, too, when in the hands of the printer, he would beas apt as not to alter, in one way and another, the manuscript, until both printer and publisher were on the verge of despair. Kingluke's beautiful "Eothen" was rewritten half a dozen times before it was given to a publisher for consideration. Tennyson's song, "Come into the Garden, Maud," was rewritten some fifty times before it gave complete satisfaction to the author. Coming to the gifted Addison, whose diction is full of such grace and simplicity, so much so a to create envy, yet admiration, in the mind of every writer who has nourished since his day, we find that the great author wrote with the most painful deliberation. It is narrated that the press was stopped again and again, after a whole edition of the Spectator had been thrown off, in order that its author might make a slight change in a sentence. Tom Moore, with all his wonderful brilliancy, considered it doing very well if he wrote fifty lines of his "LailaRookh" in a week. Hawthorne was slow in composing. Sometimes he could write only what would amount to half a dozen pages a week, often only a few lines in the same space of time, and, alaH, he would frequently go to his chamber and take his pen, only to find himself wholly unable to perform any literary work. The author of "Pleasures of Hope' was slow of thought, and consequently his mode of composition was toilsome in the highest degree. He wrote extremely cautiously, weighing and shaping the effect of each particular line before he permitted it to stand. Bret Harte, whose creations read as if t&ey had come from his brain without a flaw or hindrance, showing brilliancy of thought, with the grace of the artist, is still another writer who passes days and weeks on a short story or poem before he is ready to deliver it into the hands of the printer. So, too, with Bryant. Though in reality the sum total of his poetry might be included in a small volume, so few are his lyrics, wo cannot fail to be impressed with the truth of the statement when we are told that even thee few gems of verse cost our late Wordsworth hard toil to bring into being, aud endow with the splendor of immortality. Boston Traveler.

New York's Chinamen Not Filtlij. I went the other night with a western friend, an artist, and a police detective in search of the sensational, and did not find it. I had seen so much in the newspapers about the filthy Chinese quarters, and its filthier Chinese inhabitants, that when it was suggested by my western friend that he would like to see that particular form of wretchedness I determined to investigate for myself. It is- simply all a lie that has been told about the amazing squalor of the Chinese. The am a zing fact is that they are the only clean beings to be found in their wretched quarters. They live cheaply, but comparatively speaking they live cleanly. The quaiter is itself filthy beyond description, but the city and not the Chinese is responsible for , this ; tho corporation is taxed to pay for cleaning that is never done, unless Chinese

' cholera threatens and compels the

health board to insist on some sweeping and a good deal of disinfecting. The Chinese in Mott and Bayard streets are a great deal more cleanly in habits, dress, and language, as far as I could discover, than either the Italian or

1 Irish denizens of the same quarter, or

the French in their particular quarter a mile distant. The most filthy looking creature I saw in the rooms of the Chinamen were their Irish wives. The Chinese live extravagantly compared to the Italians in the same quarter, paying doubly for food, lodgings, and clothing. Your sunny Italian is a fraud of romance, I firmly believe. He lives on nothing a day and takes in boarders for sustenance. The Chinamen are clean in linen, quiet in demeanor, and when he deliberately makes up his mind to get drunk, he goes to his favorite resort, gets his head shaved, takes his pipe, and gets royally drunk in quiet and seclusion. His Irish neighbor, and as a rule his Irish wife, gets drunk and gives the entire street the benefit of it. The Italian gets surly, but is usually quiet; when he is not quiet and sullenly disposed, then he wants to murder -somebody of his own race, and usually of t lie opposite sox. A Chinese gentleman does not court publicity when intoxicated; his favorite drug on which he gets drunk does not impel him to paint the precinct a fiery red hue, and I firmly believe that it isn't half as poisonous as the brandy of the Frenchman or the whisky of the American.

The Hot Spell in Pike County. Aha, boys!" said he, rubbing his hands, "It's like a regeneratm sperrii, b'gosh, to feel some giniwine ole ortumn weather peelin9 of itself fur business wunst more, hain't it?" The boys knew the old settler. No one spoke a word. No one seemed to hear him. He looked around. Evidently no one intended to dissent from his estimate of the weather. The pleased expression left his face. He looked thoughtful. Suddenly his face brightened again. He seemed to catch a ray of hope. "The 'Squire hain't ben an gon a'ready, has he, boys?" said he; " 'cause if he has no he hain't b'gosh! Here he comes now, loppin along, prayin to hisself, I'll bate, 'cause the 'ternal hot summer oz wo've had has got up an 'scooted. n Sure enough, there the 'Squire came; his coat off, his shirt sleeves rolled up, his hat in one hand, w hile he mopped his face with hishandaua. The'Squire wilted down in a chair like a lettuce leaf under hot vinegar. " W-h-e-e-w !" said he. "Wall, Major, I've see some tollable weather in my time, I think, takin' it hot an9 cold ez it runs from Janiwary to July, an from July to Janiwany, but if this don't plumb the bull's-eye a leetle slicker than any hot weather that ever tackled me afore, then I'm dod-durned from way-back!"-"Hot!" exclaimed tho old settler, and you'd have sworn he was really astonished. MHot! I hope ye don't call this hot weather, 'Squire! Here's me an' M'riar kiverin' up our flower beds ev'ry night to keep 'em from bein' tetched with frost, an' here's you a hollerin' 'bout it's bein' hot! 'Squire, durned if I didn't thing you'm gotten a leetle cracked. I do, b'gosh!" "I may be gettin a leetle cracked, Major," replied the 'Squire' "an you may be kiverin' up yer flower beds fur fear o' frost, or ye may be lyin', jest which ye please, with bets in favor o the lyin', but this is the f us j hot weather I ever seo. If sumpin hain't twisted the equator 'way from Cuby and dropped it down outer Pike county, then ye kin bile me ! w 'Squire," said tho old settler, remonstratively, "what's the use o your bein' so consarned contrary? I don't mean no 'fence, but, b'gosh, ye make yerself pooty clus onter disagree'ble, sometimes. Now, if I'd a come an' sot down here an said it was hot, you'd a right up an' pooh-poohed, an' said sumpin,,bout yer havin' had a durn notion o puttin' on yer overcoat 'fore ye left hum, an' was sorry ye hadn't, or some other piece of contrariness. Then ye alius seen to wanter pick a quar'l. Here I sot, an' wan't sayin' a consarned word 'bout the weather, an' up you bounces an begins at me 'bout it's bein hot! Then, 'cause I cion't fall in with yer contrariness, but sticks up for it's bein bracin' an insiniwatin' ortumu weather, which it is, then ye git mad an' say I'm a lyin. Wall, Ikin'jist tell ye, b"g03h, 'Squire, that I hain't agointer risk my flower beds jiafc 'cause you say it's hot, not by a long shot, I hain't, an ye kin like it or lump it, whichever yer durn please!" "Flower beds !" exclaimed the squire, "Who cares fur yer flower beds? I don't care a hair out'n a mule's tail for 'em! Ye kin kiver 'em an' onkiver 'em, an' kiver 'efti agin! An! ye kin go right hum now an' kiver 'em if ye want to. .Nobody's holdin' of ye! But yet can't set thar an' face me down that it hain't hot! Ye never see it so hot, and ye know it ! Look at the th'inom'ter ! Look at the th'mom'ter, with the ball on it heated so ye can't bear yer finger on it, an' then say it ain't hot! You make me sick, Major!" "I don't care for no th'mom'ter!"" exclaimed the old settler. D'ye s'poae Fine gointer let a thing like that, ez can't do nothin' but hang onter a post, pick out weather for me? Wall, b'gosh, no! We had a little weather, I guess, 'fore th'mom'ters come out, an' we'd hev some more weather if ev'ry one on 'em in creation should bust an' th' couldn't no more git made. The idea,, anyhow, o' folks b'levin' that all the weather ez comes along has to pass through them durn things 'fore we kin know how hot it is or how cold it is! I know when weather's hot, I think. I kin 'member one summer, when. I was a boy, when we bad to keep the rippinest kind o' big fires agoin, in the house, all the time, to cool off the air, it bein' so durn much hetter'n the fire was. Why, 'twas a common thing that summer for folks ez was traveliu, to stop at housen long the roads an' ast if they could please come in an set by the fire an' get cool. It makes me oolder'n I acfc'ly feel to-night to think o' some o the hot weather I kin 'member, Ji-r-r-r ! Thll bo frost to-night, sartin, an" The county clerk got up and walked inside. The boys and the 'Squire trailed after him. The old settler edged in, rubbing his hands. Everybody but the old settler ordered it with ice. Ho was game to the las. ''Bartender," he said, "make me a hot Scotch, j&r.

Profitable Diversions It is well that a man, the major portion of whose life must, from the actual necessities of living, be devoted to money-getting, should cultivate some specialty by way of diversion. It may be a scientific pursuit, a study of some branch of art, an investigation of some agricultural subject, a following of some historical will-o'-the-wisp, or what not only let it be a labor cf love. The The banker who devotes his odd hours to boe-lceeping, the mechanic who takes up a line of philosophy, the merchant who indulges a stock-breeding whim, the lawyer who delights in microscopy, the book-keeper with a fancy for aeronautics, or the broker with a passion for music these are the men who do not become drudges, and who continually grow in moral stature. fcfuch diversion are conclusive to longevity, and give to life zest that the possible rewards' of commercial or mechanical industry do -not afford. And these diversions need not be followed as a purely recreative matter, but earnestly and ardously, with the purpose of securing important results? personal and otherwise, though they will prove recreative nevertheless. It is, indeed, sometimes most advisable that a young man should, for the sake of support during the prosecution of a particular scientific, literary, or artistic purpose, devote himself to some wage-work, thereby enabling him to hold himself independent of financial obligations or the discouraging effects of disappointment Great achievements in science and literatute aud art have been made by many who havo adopted this course. And this brings one round to a consideration of the value of one's office hours. If a clerk in a courting-room, whose day's work is done at six o'clock in the afternoon, were to devote himself to reading for the half hour intervening betweeil tea and the time the theatre or his lady-love may expect him. and adhere to it for a year, he would be amazed at the large number of volumes through whose pages he had gone. If, also, he had undertaken the course of reading with the distinct purpose of obtaining knowledge about some one thing, he would find a higher desk at the office awaiting him at the end of the year. But better an aimless wandering in literature than no inspection at all. It does not require much labor to learn a great deal of what other men have learned, and such learning makes a far better voter and citizen of the student. Benjamin Franklin was an admirable type of a man who found profit in diversions, and his character deserves attention from those who find their odd hours going to waste, As a statesman he played an important part in the foundation of the government, yet as a philosopher, who sought the secrets of nature and who closelv investigated the principles of moral life, he left a no less defiuite impression on the world. We have a stronger admiration for DTsraeli, when we find his name on "Vivian Gray," and Macauiay and Milton grow in our esteem when we turn from their essays and poems to the record of their political performances. Our respect for Holmes, the poet, is increased when we perceive that he is a distinguished physician; for Lubbock, the banker, when we hear of his bees, and for Wallace, tho soldier, when we read Ben Hur. AH these men found golden opportunity in the hours for diversion, and their careers should be full of suggestion to every young man with an ambition higher than his pockets. G. C. Matthews, in the Current The Cockroach Game. fie entered the office of the Superintendent of Police with a black eye, a skinned nose and other evidence of total depravity, and without waiting to be

asked whether he had been knocked down by an ice wagon or run over by a butcher cart, he led off with : "It was off up this way, on some street or other, and I was never so misused in my life. I'm a square man, and all I want is a square deal and a fair show," "Well?" "Well. I sat there drinkisg a glass of beer, when in comes a chap with eyes like peeled onions and a nose which gave him away forty rods off. He had two cockroaches in a box, and he was a tricky man." "What wasliis game? "It was to draw a circle about two feet across on the table with a piece of chalk, and then dump the rock roaches jn the center. He'd select one and I the other, and whichever roach ran over the circle first took the money. Say, it looked like a square deaL" "Yes." "Well, I put down a dollar and selected the cockroach with a sort of wart over his left eye. The insects clawed around for awhile and acted like cats in a strange garret Then his roach traveled off about a foot and wheeled and came back. Then- mine squinted his right eye and made a break. He saw the cold lunch on the table ten feet away, and he was after it." "I see." "He'd got within silk inches of the chalk line and was just a climbing for Limburger cheese, yhen the stranger he ups and hauls off with a beer glass and knocks my roach into the middle of next January." "What for ?" "Why, he claimed that I had rubbed my end of the table with taffy ! I never did it! Stranger, I'm square square as a hole in a grindstone. I grabbed the stakes and he grabbed me. He got the money and I got a licking. Can you do anything for me?" "No more than to advise you to get a warrant." "Squire, I can't do it. I'm on my way to Chicago and can't tarry to fool with the law. If that's the best you can do then good by. I'm a square man and never kick if I have half a show. I don't care particularly for the dollar, nor for the black eye and abused nose, but say, if that wasn't the brutnlest, cold-bloodest way to serve a poor cockroach then may I be called a kicker!" Detroit Free Press. Uncle Esek: All the original thoughts have been uttered in the simplest words. When I read an abstruse statement, I say, this writer has been stealing, his trying to hide.
