German women have resolved upon a to tal abstinence fr m French fashions. The wife of B. T. Babbit, the arap and salaratus man, wears $80,(M) worth of diamonds at Saratoga. A young law student of Galesburg, Illin ois, has just ordered his sign, “Counselor, Conciliator, and General Negotiator.” An ox, raised in Caldwell county, Mo., is twenty-one hands high and weighs 4,000 pounds. There are 12,000 windmills in Holland at the present day, for the purpose of drain age. An injured husband compromised with a wicked minister in Ohio for S4OOO. He took off five per cent, because he was a clergyman. The Stockdale beeDpackery, near Bren ham, Texas, began operations last Fall, and for its first season’s work, killed 4,500 cattle, packed 3.000 tierces of beef, and shipped off I,< 00,000 pounds of hide and tallow. At Morrissiana, N. Y., a man tried to kill another, and was let off on the trial because he was laboring under “overwrought tricity. ” Th it is anew term for what old fashioned people used to call drunk. This is a progressive age. The Mayor of St. Joseph, Mo., gave per> mission to a citizen to kill two dogs which annoyed him, arid the next morning the Mayor f >und two of his own pet dogs dead, with his own warrant of permission for killing, pinned on their bodies. Though lie hasn’t exactly got the dydrophobia, that Mayor is mad. The Atlanta Constitution says; During the year 1869, there were brought to, and distributed from. Atlanta, 26,760 mules ; since January 1870, 13,240, making a total in eighteen months of 40,000. These were all at sold prices averaging, perhaps, S3OO per head. The aggregate cost of these mules to the purchasers was $8,000,000, The authorities at the National Observa tory at Washington, D. C., have contracted with Alvin Clarke & Sons, of Cambridge port, Massachusetts for the construction of anew telescope, for which Congress appro priated SSG,OiO at the last session. This telescope is to be a refracting instrument, with an object glass of twenty-six inches in diameter. This glass, it is stated, will he the largest in the world, and will require four years for its completion. The Chicagoans are now much disap pointed over their figures, showing hut 250, 000, when they expected 400,000; hut it is the same with Cincinnati, where they claim ed over 300.000, and have but barely 200,- 000 It is so in all the Western cities, and to a larger figure in Eastern cities. The number of houses unoccupied in the large cities is almost fabulous, and is a proof of the fact that many persons are leaving the larger cities and going West aDd South. There is a man living in Calhoun county, Miss., who is supposed to be the strongest man in the State if not in the entire South, lie is thirty-five years of age, and weighs two hundred and twenty-five ponnds. He has been known to carry three bars of rail road iron, when it takes from three to five ordinary men to cany one. He can take a cask containing forty gallons of whisky or water (the former is preferred, we presume), and raise it from the ground and drink out of the bung-hole with as much ease as auother could out of a common pitcher ; and he has frequentl} taken a barrel of flour under each arm, and balancing a sack of salt on his head, carried them for several hundred yards with apprently but little effort. He offers to bet that he can lift thirteen hundred pounds. Pleasant Retort —The Mobile Regis ter and the Louisville Courier Journal have been tilting at each other for some time past differing on the policy which the °outh should persue in regard to the measures which have been imposed upon her by Congress. The following is the last from the Courier-Journal : The venerable editor of the Mobile Reg ister and his young attendant, the editor of the Montgomery Mail, remind us of the good Sir Florismart and the youthful Ro lando, who astride of a hyppogriff, went out in a forest of Brittany to hunt turkey cocks. They swore both jointly and sepa rately that they would have turkey-cock or nothing. They found none. The woods were cleared of turkey cocks. They starved a whole month in order to keep their vow of turkey-cock or nothing. At last Sir Florismart, who grew faint ar.d weak with hunger and age, says, “R >lander, dou’t you think we had better come down to a rob hin ?” But R lando, who was yet strong and hearty, replied, “By the blood of the billy-goat, never.” So, as the legend tuds, Sir Florismart lay down and died, and some benevolent ladies came along and resusci tated the gallant Rolando \tfith bits of bread and butter. PROGRESS AND FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES. It has been said and truly said, that the progre? 3 of the United States has no r ara iell in the history of nr.tipns. than a century ago there were but two to three millions of people, tnen forming remote dependencies of a monarchical and Europe an Power. Now the republic has a popu lation of forty millions or more. For a long time even after the independence of the country was established, the settled portion of it did not extend west of the Al leghany Mountains, except through a little bands of pioneers mostly engaged in the Indian and fur trade. Though a few saga cious statesmen had some scintillations of light as t;o what the country might become in the distant luture, no one realized its rapid od wondertul growth. The stream of immigration from the Old World was steady in former times, it is true ; hut that was slow, and of course the natural increase of population could not within so short a timd make the mighty empire we now see. Still the American statesman of the early days of the republic began to lay the foun dations of a continental republican empire. Tne acquisition of Lousisiana was a great event and the first one to carry the people in large numbers to the immense and rich valley of the Mississippi. This was really tfie initial-step to our wonderful territorial expansion and development. The ambition and national pride of our people received a powerful stimulus in that. The acquisition of Florida, of Texas, ol California, of New Mexico and Arizonia and of Alaska was but the sequel of that act and followed tne natural law of our development. But new agencies began to work in the course of time to increase the population of th * United States and to spread it over the Continent from the shores of Atlantic to the Pacific. The wonderful natural wealth variety of products, cheap lands, free re publican institutions and a glorious future attracted the people of all nations from the Old World. A vast stream of immigration poured in and cultivated the soil, built up cities and made the wilderness blossom as a rose. The redundant population of Eu rope, with the poverty, tyranny and politi cal troubles there, increased the volume of the immigration from year to year, and it continues to swell more and more. Here was the home of the oppre-sed and poor, and here they could find a welcome and abundance. There is not a village or ham lat in Europe where this fact is not known. Then came those mighty agents of modern civilization and science—the press, steam power and the magnetic telegraph—to in crease knowledge, facilitate communication and to inspire admiration lor this great re publican and conglomerate representative nation of the world. The late war started mankind with the wonderful power and resources of the republic. It revealed the fact, of which we were hardly conscious ourselves before, that the United States is really the most powerful nation en the globe, and as regards foreign nations, abso lutely impregnable. Within the course of a few years railroads and telegraphs have covered like network the vast area of the interior, and have spanned the Continent over a distance of thousands of miles. A national debt of enormous magniiude, crea ted in four or five years, that would have overwhelmed any other nation unde" such circumstances is to us comparatively a bagatelle, and is now being paid off at the rate of nearly a hundred millions of dollars a year. Such progress, such wealth and resources and such power have never been known before. All this, however, glorious as it is, only foreshadows the mighty future of the repub»« lie. By the natural increase of population and the enormous stream of immigration tve shall have, probably, in thirty or thirty - five years, a hundred millions of people. The augmentations of wealth will be still greater. Whatever difficulties we may labor under at present with regard to the development of our mercantile marine, commerce and naval power, we have such resources, such a geographical position and such harbors and vast seaboard that we must become the first maritime and commercial nation. Nothing can prevent this. And what is thirty years in the life of a nation or in history? Ocher nations may and perhaps will advance under the new and progressive dispensation of modern science; hut relatively they have not the resources and means that we have, Already we see the moral influence of American ideas and institutions upon Europe and the rest of the world, and the time is not distant when this country will controls indirectly, if not di rectly, the destinies of mankind. There is but one thiDg we need, and that is states men who can comprehend the position we occupy and the glorious future before us. Instead of being bound by the past we should strike out a policy for ourselves in consonance with our destiny. We should throw off the swaddling clothes that Europe has placed upon u# and assert our manhood. It is our destiny to give the law to nations, for the people everywhere are with us, and there is no use of resistance, if we be wise, to the moral and political power we may exercise. As to the affairs and interests of the American Continent, this republic can do as it wishes, and no odo will presume to interfere Do the people realize their pow er and destiny? Does the government at Washington comprehend the necessities of of our situation and the jrlory of the repub lic? These are important questions aa regards the present and the parties concern ed, but whatever incapacity may be shown by those who are in power the grand future of our country is inevitable. The Concord Muster. —The New York Star says: “It it reported that Gen. Grant is to attend the muster of Gen. Butler’s grand army at Concord next week. Entler is to move his army by the left flank of Great Bethel, through the Dutch Gap Canal, to the foTe-top gallant mast of the powder ship, where the right company will go through the evolutions, while Butler him self goes through the spoons. The Concord matrons are said to he industriously bury ing their plate, and nothing is visible with in five miles. A petition is in circulation beggir.g Grant to request Butler to shut hitnselt in a bottle again, and give the Con cord people the cork.” We cannot learn that there is any foundation for these state ments. CHARLES DICKENS' COUNSEL TO 6TUDENT3. In a recent speech at Birmingham. Mr! Dickens said : “To the students generally I have had in ray mind, first, to commend the short motto in two words: Courage— Persevere This .is motto of a friend and worker. Not because the eyes of Europe arc upon them, for I don't in the least bb lieve it; nor because the eyes of eveu Eng*, laud are upon them, for I don’t in the least believe it; not because their doings will be proclaimed with blast of trumpet at street corners, for no such musical performance will take place; nor because self improve ment is at all certain to lead to worldly success ; but simply because it is good and right of itself, and because being so, it docs assuredly bring with it its own resources and its own rewards. I would farther commend to them a very wise and witty piece cf advice on the conduct of the under standing, by Rev. Sydney Smith—wisest and wittiest of the friends I have lost. lie says: “There is a piece of foppery which is to bo cautiously guarded against—the foppery of universality, of knowing all science, and excelling In all arts, chemistry, mathematics, algebra, dancing, history, reasoning, riding, fencing, Low Dutch, High Dutch, and natural philosophy. In short, the modern precept of education very often is, ‘Take the Admirable Crichton for your model ; I would have you ignorant of nothing.' ‘Now,’ said ho, ‘my advice, on the contrary, is to have the cotirage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order that you may avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.' “To this I would superadd a little truth, which holds equally good of my own life, and the lifo of every eminent man I have ever known. The only serviceable, safe, certain, remunerative, attainable quality in every study and every purpose, is the qual ity of attention. My own invention or im agination, such as it is, I can most truth fully assure you, would never have served me as it has, but for the habit of common place, humble, patient, daily, laboring, drudging, attention. Genius, vivacity, quickness of penetration, brilliancy in as sociation of ideas, will uot be commanded ; but attention, after due term of submissive service, will. Like certain plants, which to the poorest peasant may grow in the poorest soil, it can be cultivated by any one, and it is certain, in its own good season, to bring forth flowers and fruit.”— Peoples' Journal. Printers and Religion. —The chaplain of the New Hampshire penitentiary says : “I have the happiness to number among my friends many printers, but though it may seem to imply either a lack of ability on the part of the minister, or the want of the qualities, I never succeeded well with that For the nine long years of my connection with the penitentiary, with ail inducements offered, not one of that trade connected himself with my congregation, and I do not think a man could be found, of all who ever tenated our prison, who could set up a column of type. I leave the reader to make his comments, only remark ing that this cannot be accideutal, nor can the explanation be that the emyloyment keeps them ignorant of the prevailing vices and immoralities, nor yet that young prin ters are removeed from the large masses where corruption engender and spreads In all these respects this class is exposed. It is evident that the employment has an elevating tendency, and is favorable to intellectual improvement.” A New Commandment. —Some time ago the darkeys of Peekskill gave a ball to cel ebrate the fifteenth amendment. The next morning, as Eliza, a well known individual of ebor.y hue, was passing the store of Mr. A., who lives under the hall*where the hall was held, the store keeper ran out and said to her. “See here, Lizer, you colored folas kept me and my wife awake all last night with your noisy jumping and dancing. “What were you doing?” “Doin ? Why celebratin’ the fifteenth commandment 1” Mr. A. replied : “Why, there ain't but ten commadments.” “You git out! Youm’s ignorumpt white fallow ; “The last time Congress met they made fifteen command ments and the la3t one was for the benefit of black folks!” A Mother's Influence. —How touching this triqute of Hon. T. 11. Benton, to his mother's influence r “My mother asked mo never to use; I have never touched it from that time to the present day. She asked me not to gamble, and I have never gambled ; I cannot tell who is loosing in games that are being played.
