Herald: A suit for damages by a colored widow of this county against the L. and N. railroad for killing her husband was recently compromised for SSOO. The lawyers got $250, her advancing merchant got $125 for looking after the affair anil the “lone widow” got $125 to soothe her grief. Nothing like an equitable divis ion of spoils. St. Louis Republican: There is doubt less no child now living that will see New Orleans a greater exporting port than New York, but the next few years will see it make a demoralizing advance on New York. Within the last three years it has advanced ahead of Philadel phia, Boston and Baltimore, and within the next three it will make enough progress to cause lots of trouble for New York, however impossible it may be to surpass the trade of that city. Nashville American: For snuff-dip ping and sneezing the people of Tennes see annually fifty’ over $1,000,000. A dealer in snuff informs us that the Nash ville merchants annually pay over $300,- 000 for snuff, and the merchant! of the city of Memphis more than that amount. The people of the Southern States con sume annually over $8,000,1)00 of that article, while the people of the Northern States use comparatively none Two firms of New York supply the South.

Extraordinary atmospheric disturb ances have been predicted for November. General Grant carries SIOO,OOO iu policies on his life. Experiments are to ba made of com pressed air motors on the New York Ele vated Railroad. A man aged ninety-two, at Des Moines, lowa, is suing his wife, aged eighty-five, for divorce. Henry J.

The good are always persecuted. Chicago has canceled the order which forbade the employment of married women as teachers in the public schools. It is said there are fewer office-seekers in Washington now than there has been for years. ♦ Miss Arthur, the daughter of the President, is a blonde haired young lady who is now at school in Albany. Mrs. Cornwallis West, the beauti ful, and Adelina Patti, the prDna donna, two noted women, have arrived iu this country from England. The late Gov. Wiltz, of Louisiana, left his widow and five children in poverty, and the citizens of the State are appealed to to provide for them. -■ . * The stock of the wrecked Newark Bank was worth 180.

Ho is rather an expensive pris oner. — •———— Gov. Roberts, of Texas, says he would rather walk than to ride on a rail road pass. Yes, unless there is some thing hitched to the pass to drag it along. .— A cannon weighing 56,000 pounds has been cast at Reading, Penn. It is of rifl« pattern, neatly and strongly molded, and will cany a ball weighing 150 pounds a distance of twelve miles. * It is suggested that Arthur, the wid ower, and Queen Victoria, the widow, pool their issues and give us a cheaper government. The idea is a capital one. The President ought to take it under con sideration. ♦ The Pittslnirg Post if of the ojdnion . that the- demand Confederate bonds is brisk enough to start the printing presses to going again. During the war the- Government winked at the Northern manufacturer of Confederate money and bonds. Talmage thinks there ought to be schools of journalism. There is. There n re over 8,000 newspapers in this country. They are all schools of journalism. But journalism can no more be taught in col leges than can fishing, and some men never can learn how to fish. President Grevy, of the French Re public, receives the modest salary of $200,000 ft year. This, in connec tion with the fact that France is no larger than an ordinary State, is enough to make an American President feel pretty blue. The estimate ! cost of the Mississippi River improvement is $50,000,000. There is a diversity of opinion as to whether the Government ought to bear the expense. The improvement will lie directly felt by the Western States, but not by’ the East ern, hence the East will useits endeavorto oppose the matter in Congress. The hat of the fashionable woman is something smaller than a wagon wheel.

The opinion prevails that Baldwin should have stolen the safe also out of the Newark Bank. This is a reflection on his business shrewdness. The safe would have been missed—that is, proba bly it Mould have been, but there is no tolling. He could have credited it on the bixiks and that, would have satisfied the Directors. All they cared for was a respectable looking balance-sheet. Buffalo has struck upon a happy and an economical process of dealing with mendicants. All the charitable institu tions iu that city have been merged into one, and thus the relief of one family or person by several societies at the same time is au impossibility. All applica tions for aid are thoroughly investigated before relief is granted and the result is that begging is discouraged and idleness effectually rebuked. A new religious project is on thefapi*. It is that of attaching a Gospel ear to railroad trains for the delectation of all who are religiously inclined and for the conversion of those who are not re ligiously inclined. It is proposed that instead of a card table there be a piano or organ, instead of spittoons, a carpet, and instead of cards, a Bible and hymn books. AU seats Mill be arranged to face the center of the ear where some good man may stand Io preach, exhort or expound, as the case may be. Rev. Talmage has preached a sermon on the newspaper business. When he said “ a newspaper is thegreatest tempo ral blessing God has given this country,” and, “if I.liad to-ehoose between a gov ernment. without the newspaper, and a newspaper without a government, T would choose the latter,” his words were golden, but his opinion that the person ality of writers should be disclosed proves his lack of experimental knowledge. Many persons unknown to the world are our ablest newspaper writers, and fur ther than this, the newspaper render of to-day does not stop to inquire who wrote this nrticlo or who wrote that. He wants a record of the events of the day, and he wants them in n condensed form, and he makes no more inquiries wtu. the author is than does the epicure prepared his dinner. - From the London lUor/d mo get an inkling of the reason why there is a de mand just now for Confederate bonds. Says the World: “ The result ing from the Confederate cotton loan was not advanced because the people who took the bonds had sympathy with the Southern States, but because we needed tho cotton ; and before making the ad vance pains were taken to ascertain from the highest legal authorities that it was a perfectly legitimate transaction, and that there was nothing to prevent any of our merchants agreeing to it. The cot ton on which tho loan was secured was taken by the United States, who there fore remain subject to all the agreements made in respect of it by the Confede rates. There is not much chance of this view being admitted by the United States; but as it is -vouched for Dy so high a legal authority as Lord Ilather ley, it may be worth mentioning.” Blums and apples have been short in quantity this year, M’hile pears and grapes have come to the front. splen didly. The two former require more moisture than they got this year, while the latter want only plenty of heat. This is shown by the fact that plum anil ap ple leaves, .when the fruit is ripe, are juicy, while pear and grape leaves are brittle, showing that they have given up their moisture to feed the fruit. In New . Jersey, North Carolina aud a few D»rts 1 of Ohio, and in Arkansas, it failed ut terly, and was only medium in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Among vegetal'les, potatoes will be high this winter. New Jersey produced the most, in Arkansas fair, although the latter ones are poor, and the bugs ruined them in Kansas. Tomatoes are not a full supply, sweet potatoes are plentiful, turnips are poor, Mid onions are not plentiful. Cetewayo, the dethroned king, z ‘i it Ondo Monlen, a prisoner yet to the English Government. A recent letter from a lady who saw the ex-Africar potentate, says : “The great change I noticed in his appearance made me ex claim involuntarily, ‘ls he ill ?’ as I stepped across the threshold, to which the interpreter replied, without referring the question to Cetewayo : ‘He is not very well, but he has never been well since he has been here.’ After shaking hands, I said to him : *Do you like Oude Moulen better than the castle ?’ To which he replied very sadly : ‘lt is , all the same to me where I am without my freedom.’ In saying good by, I I said that I hoped he would try and che' r up and not fret, as he would make him ' self ill, and that fretting could do no ! g iod. But ho shook his head and ex I claimed, ' I cannot help it,’ adding, as he shook hands with me, that he ‘hoped God would bless me for my kindness.’ ” W hen a cashier who has stolen $2,- 600,000 is admitted to $25,000 bail, and the fact of the theft is almost forgotten within a week, the ordinary man is at a loss to collect his senses. The whole transaction from beginning to end is beyond belief. Baldwin’s stealings be gan in the year 1873, by his own con fession. That was eight years ago. The bank examiner makes his rounds six times a year, houoo the affairs of the Mechanics’ Bank was subject to his inspection upon forty-eight different occasions. It seems that on each of these visits the Bank Directors, must have, without knowing, testified to the accuracy of the Cashier’s reports. Then what? Tho Directors in whose hands the bank is supposed to be, knew noth ing of its affairs, and the President wan a mere figure head. The Cashier’s word could not be doubted. He stood high in the church and came from a good family. All his brothers stood high iu the business world. Dishonesty there fore was cut of the question. But dis honesty crept iu and after everything had been stolen that M’as available, leav ing only tho safe and the stove, Baldwin calls the Directors about him to say ho has stolen $2,660,000, and if ho was not speh a coward he would shoot himself, aud hence is ready to go to prison. But they do not put him in prison, oh, no His bail is fixed at $25,000, just 1-10 lOtl of the amount he has stolen, and for tin time being he is a free man. Who suf fers for all this? Certainly not the Directors. The law does not hold them responsible, but it ought to. If their negligence-is not criminal, it ought to bo. What are they there for if not to look into the affairs of the bank? If they were compelled to make good tho loss perhaps their position would be something more than ornamental. Under the circumstances thieving is encouraged, and if there is not more stealing done by j cashiers in the near future than there has been, it will be because there are no more dishonest cashiers. - 2_-. 1 . A Ton of Truth. Why is it that, in a majority of cases, the newspapers, in recording anything pertaining to continental countlies that involves a mention of weights or measures, employ the terms used by the metric system ? The metric system is undoubtedly the best one in use, but, unfortunately, it is not thoroughly un derstood in this country, and the general ity of readers are all at w-a regarding the significance of the word. If an American take any interest in a German flagstaff’, he wants to know how many feet high it is; or if he desires to know the weight of a French pig, pounds alone will convey the desired informiitiou to his mind. If he is obliged to read of meters and kilogrammes, he utterly fails to grasp the. idea. The staff may be miles high, and the pig may weigh tons, for all he knows to the contrary. Much' the same may be said of the employment of words and phrases in a foreign lan guage. No American is bo cultured that he cannot understand at least equally well an idea conveyed iu plain king’s English, with this exception, that there are words and phrases in foreign tongues that are practically untranslatable, aud whose force would be lost in an attempt to render them into English. But these words and phrases are generally familiar, aud iu common use in English conversa tion. Buch words and phrases are of course allowable. But the use of a French phrase that can be understood only by one versed in the French lan guage is snobbish. The journalist who indulges in the practice of pejqiering.'his manuscript with foreign words run •'a great risk. The intelligent compositor may make sad work of his best effbl'ls, and it is dangerous to repose unlimited confidence.in tho proof-reader. It-is no evidence to the mind of the reader that the writer is possessed of any particular erudition because he is able to handle Latin, Greek and French freely. ” Any body, with a dictionary of those lan guages at his elbow, can do tiie same. What the general reader wants is a plain story, plainly told, iu words that ho can understand— Boston liuaet. A Sure Remedy. There is no remedy for trouble equal to hard work—labor that will tire you, physically, to such an extent that you must sleep. If yon have met with -losses, you don’t want to lie awake and think aboutthem. Youwantsleep—calm, sound sleep, and to eat your dinner with an appetite. But you can’t unless you work. If you say you don’t feel like work, and go loafing all day to tell Tom, Dick and Harry the story of your woes, you’ll lie awake, and keep your wife awake by your tossing, spoil your temper and your breakfast next morn ing, and begin to-morrow feeling ten times worse than you do to-day. There are some great troubles that only time can heal, and perhaps some that can never be healed at all; but all can bo bellied by the great panacea, work. Stonehenge, in England, has been geieially supposed to lie a relic of tho Druids, but one eminent antiquary gives it as his opinion that it dates still farther back, and was a temple of the fire wor shippers, belonging to the Bronze Period of Northern archeologist:. Chtldrfn have more need of models than of criticism. Feeling Hurried. Probably nothing tires one so much as feeling hurried. When in tho eariy morning tho day’s affairs press on one’s attention beforehand, and there conies the wonder how iu the world everything is to be accomplished, w hen every in terruption is received impatiently, and the clock is watched in distress as its moments Hit past, then the mind tires the body. We are wrong to drive our selves with M’hip and spur in this way.. Each of ns is promised strength for the day, and M-e must not wear ourselves out by crowding two days’ tasks into one. JI only Me can Keep cool and calm, not allowing ourselves to be flustered, wa shall l>e loss MCuried when we have reached the even-tide. The children may be fractious, tho servants trying, tho friend M-e love may fail to visit us, the letter we expect may not arrive, but if we can preserve our tranquillity of soul, and of demeanor, we shall get through everything creditably. Especially is this good advice for M irm weather. Whofeelsthe heat most? Wiio is most exhausted and prostrated by its severity? Why, the person who Hies from fans to ice-water, bemoaning herself. who changes her dress a lialf dozeii time a day, who laments that it is so warm, and watches the thermome ter with despairing certainty that it nev er was so hot before ; who, in short, in tensifies her own discomfort and adds to that of others by constant, thinking of it. Women who can stay iu-doors have the advantage of men in warm weather, it is wise to air a house thoroughly in the early morning, and to keep it, as far as possible, close mid darkened through the middle of the day. Dispense with a great fire in the kitchen range, and let the cooking be moderate. Fruits, salads, and simple, easily-cooked cereals are the proper foods for summer. A gas stove is au economy and a comfort. Find tho coolest place to sit, go quietly about your work and make as little fuss as may be about its being warm. Let the children have frequent baths, and do not encumber them with heavy cloth ing. Common sense and an easy mind help one over most of life’s rough places witli little friction, How Barbers Learn to Shave. “ How long docs it take a man to learn the barber business ? ” asked a reporter while, undergoing a tousoris operation at tin- hands of a colored professional. “Well, 'lat dopeude on how much talent he has for ilo business,” was tho quiet reply ; “ generally takes ’bout a year. ” “How do they begin,” asked tbe re porter. “ Dey geno’lly begins by blackin’ boots. Den dey stnn’ round an’watch an i.li- barber strop his razah, an’ watch him shave. After a while dey lets’em ■put <le lather on. Den pretty soon lie tries his him’ at- shavin’. Somebody comes in ilat’s very good natured, or mebby ain't .very particular how he’s shaved, an’ (ley put dar new man on to try his ban’; But some ole-barber always strops bis razah, an’ keeps an eye on him. Mebby de new man does fust rate, an’ mebby lie doesn’t. It all depends on his confidence. Confidence is do main thing in h arning de barber business.” “ Do barbers shave themselves?” que ried the reporter. “ No, dey shaves oho auuder. When a barber wants a shave, he asks a fricud to do it, an’ den ho shaves de other man. Barbers never pays nnthiu’ for shaves, unless tin y’se away from home.” “ Doesn’t a professional courtesy exist among barbers everywhere? ” “ I reckon it does, but I never heard it called by dat name afo’.” Debris of Old Buildings. [New York Industrial World.] The varied materials collected from old buildings in course of demolition form enormous accumulations iu some of the upper wards in Now York City, where one can purchase anything in the building line from a piece of lead pipe to a magnificent French plate glass. Timber of all sort, from giant cross beams to little joist’posts, can be had in these yards, where there are also win dow sashes, window weights, doors, shutters, iron and wooden staircases, window frames, doorposts, flooring lath ing, tiling, wainscoting, bricks, brown stone fronts, granite steps, granite col umns, iron girders and iron fronts, iron stair-frames, and, in fact, anything and everything that has ever been used in a house. Door knobs, bell handles, iron railings and balconies, not to men tion the cornices, are there in profusion and confusion. The profits of this busi ness are said to be great, and while it frequently happens that large figures are paid for some houses, the profits are correspondingly great. Recently some houses on Twenty-third street were taken down, and as they were finished in hard wood, ornamented with mirrors and great spacious fire-places, the price demanded was very large, but the old brass work and glass alone paid the pur chaser for what he had invested, and the wood, stone and brick of the house was all clear profit. The two firms who do the largest traffic of the kind carry to their yards about fifty truck-loads of material a day. Then there are dozens of others in the 1. who do a much more modest bus i - Arsenic is not freely soluble in any organic mixtures and may generally be found as a white sediment, which, when thrown upon red-hot coals, gives out a strong odor like onions and a thick smoke.

A locomotive drinks forty-five gal lons of water every mile it travels. The finest thread in a spider’s web is composed of no less than 4,000 strands. When au orang-outang dies the others cover up the body with great branches of trees. M.

At Yuma the thermometer fre quently registers 125 degrees aud tho air is so rarefied that objects 100 miles distant appear very near. It is noted as a curious fact that no President, from Washington to Garfield, was born in a city, and that only tho second Adams was even nominally a resident of a city when elected. Some beetles, when counterfeiting death, M-ill suffer themselves to be grad ually roasted without moving a single joint. “1 have pierced spiders with pins,” says Mr. Smellie, “andtorn them to pieces without their indicating the slightest marks of pain.” The water-boatmen, among the most agile of water insects, row themselves along under-side uppermost. Their habit of moving upside down is of great use to them in feeding, for many of their victims have hard backs, so the water-boatmen dive down and come up under their prey, thus attacking them on their soft side. Tim unicorn still exists in the interior of Thibet. It is there called the one horned tso-po. Its hoofs are divided ; it is about twelve or thirteen hands high ; it is extremely wild and fierce, yet associating in large herds. Its tail is shaped like that of a boar, and its horn, which is curved, grows out of its forehead. It is seldom caught alive, but the Tartars frequently shoot it, ana use its flesh for food. The equatorial diameter of tbe earth is greater than the polar by some thirty tour miles. While the center of gravity remains as now the polar and equatorial regions will remain substantially the same; but if from any cause the polar shall preponderate, then a change in polarity Mill ensue. Such, without doubt, was the case -when the tropical elephants were incased in the icebergs of Nova Zemblaaud Spitzbergen. The paintings of the ancient Egyptians show that we cannot mix paints as well as they. In manufacturing metals they were our superiors. They made a sword so exquisitely that itcould be put in asheath coiled up like a snake without breaking. They had the steamboat and canal 5,000 years ago, and they had the art of mov ing immense masses of rock, weighing 1,000 tons each. The pyramid built 1,500 years B. C. employed 360,000 men for twenty years. Twelve billions, seven hundred aud sixty millions pounds of granite were used in its construction, and in dimensions it was 460 feet high. Astronomers -say that the average number of meteors that traverse the at mosphere, and that are large enough to be visible to the naked eye at one place, if the sun, moon and stars would per mit, is forty-two in an hour, or 1,000 daily. The apparent size of meteors is greatly magnified by irradiation. Some of them have been computed to have a diameter of 100 or 200 feet, and others 1,000 up to 5,000 or 6,000; but this must be regarded as the diameter of the blaze of light which surrounds the meteor. The meteor itself, before it takes fire, may have a diameter of only a few feet, or perhaps only a fraction of •an inch. The mean distance of meteors from the observer is about 105 miles. Bhofessor Alexander Wilson, of Dublin, has calculated the amount of sugar contained in the calyces of differ ent kinds of flowers, aud tho proportion of Loney which insects can extract from it. He calculates that about 125 clover blossoms contain one gramme of sugar. As each blossom consists of about sixty calyces, at least 125,000 by 60, or 7,500,- 000 calyces, must be rifled to afford a kilogramme of sugar, and as honey con tains 75 per cent, of sugar, it requires 5,600,000 calyces of clover to yield a kilogramme of the former. Hence wo may imagine the countless numbers of flowers that bees must visit to be able to stock their hives with honey.
