AneedotM of the Late Johns Hopkins. He left $9,000,000, a moiety of which was divided between eighteen relatives, and the bulk retained for a university and several hospitals. The nephenv whs was often at variance with him reeeiv<M almost twice as much as his brothers who never contradicted him. Mr. Hop kins never married. The daughters of Epaminondas were that hero’ll famous victories. The children of Johns Hop kins are the splendid institutions lie has left to learning, to mercy and to sci ence. There never was a stronger man. He started life with S4OO, and built up, bv his own exertions, a colossal flrtuife. From the beginning he declared that he had a mission from God to increase his store, and that the golden flood that poured into his coffers did not belong to him or to the hundreds who sought to borrow or beg it from him. He declared that a supernatural power prevented him from taking money from his pocket to bestow foolish alms, and that seme day the world would know that he was not the! grasping, avaricious and narrow-minded man he was accounted. He nevertheless helped secretly many worthy persons, and after his death it was discovered that not a few merchants had been saved by him from financial embarrass-" ment and sorrow. An uncanny old tramp used to station himself under a giant oak that stood sen try by the lodge of “Clifton.” This made Mr. Hopkins nervous and became a mortal offense. He told one of his nephews of it and said he did not know how to abate the nuisance. “ Why not pay him, uncle, and send him away?” queried the young man. “Pay him money 1” Mr. Hopkins shrieked, while his long arms flew about like windmills; “pay him money ! God forbid ! When I do that there will be a hundred vaga bonds here instead of one!” “Well, then,” added the nephew, “if I wire you, Uncle John, I would kick him out.” “I cannot do that,” the old man pleaded, “I am afraid !” “Wliat!” the nephew retorted, “are you afraid of such a cur as that ?” “ No, no !” Mr. Hopkins whispered hoarsely, “ I am not afraid of him, but afraid of God. Did you never read in tire Bible how Dives treated Lazarus ? Would you have me repeat the story and burn in hell forev er ?” That ended it. On one of the last days of his earthly existence Mr. Hopkins called his de voted gardener to him and said : “I am beginning to hate this place, because it does not bring in money. I hate every thing that does not bring in money. Did you ever feed hogs ? Have you not observed that the strong animals bear away the ears of corn and that the weak er ones pursue them squealingly, in hopes that all or some of the treasure will be lost or dropped ?” The gardener replied that the sketch was a true one. “ Well, then,” said Mr. Hopkins, “I am that strong hog. I have that big ear of corn, and every piggish rascal in Baltimore is intent upon stealing it or wresting it from me! Sir,” he said, turned brusquely to the gardener, “do you think a very rich man is happy ?” The gardener answered : “The extreme of poverty is a sad thing. The extreme of wealth, no doubt, bears with it many tribulations.” Mr. Hopkins rejoined : “You are right, my friend ; next to the hell of being utterly bereft of money is the purgatory of possessing a vast amount of it. I have a mission, and un der its shadow I have accumulated wealth, but not happiness. ” In the Matter of Stockings. The United States Supreme Court has rendered a decision of considerable im portance involving the customs duties on woolen stockings. The practice of weighing stockings and charging for them by the pound, as they do sausage, has long been repulsive to the refined sensi bilities of the aesthetic portion of the people, and the Supreme Court has struck a popular chord in holding that the pound charge is illegal and that stockings shall be admitted at the duty of thirty-five per cent, ad valorem only. The ground of the decision is that stock ings are in a sense works of art, and that it lias been the purpose of the legislation on tariff to encourage art by admitting its productions at the lowest rate of duty. Recently the same Court decided that a plain porcelain plate is dutiable at the rate of fifty per cent., while a plate of the same material on which a picture has been painted shall be admitted at the rate of ten per cent. Consistency, there fore, demanded that the stocking, which is a work of art., should pay a less rate of duty than a man’s wool hat.. The Court states that its members have ob served that stockings are elaborately embroidered in colors, ornamented with flowers and stripes, arranged in a manner truly artistic. Where the elderly gentle men of the Bench observed these things is not stated, but as the windows of the Court-room overlook the back yard of a Treasury clerk’s boarding house it is presumed they got their information from the appearance of the clothes-line on wash-days. However that may be, the fact of the artistic ornamentation of stookings is clearly affirmed The Court further states that because of the pound duty on stockings the fashion of weariug long stockings has been threatened; that a lady correspondent in New York chron icles the arrival of an importation of stockings for ladies’ wear winch are not longer than the men’s wear. There is no eight-to-seven business about this deci sion. The justices may divide on such minor questions as the election of a Pres ident, but they are solid in regarding stookings as works of art entitled to what ever encouragement a low rate of duty can give.— Milwaukee ( BYs.) Rrpub lican. Recreation. In • lector* by Dr. Romanes, of Lon don, before the National Health Society, the physiology of recreation was brietly described as consisting merely in a re building np, reforming or recreation of organs and tissues that have become partly disintegrated by. the exhausting effects of work. It tans appears that the one essential principle of all recrea tion most be variety—that is, the sub stitution of one set of activities for an other, and, consequently, the successive affording of rest to bodily structures as they become successively exhausted; and so the undergraduate finds recrea tion m rowing, because it gives his brain time to recover its exhausted energies, while the historian and the man of sci ence find mutual relief to their respect ive faculties m each other’s labor* (}*! J j? An employe of the Italian Lotto ad ministration has published an,, interest ing pamphlet respecting the lotto play ing in Italy, to which rich stud ppor, learned and unlearned, are addicted with equal passion, and which contributes a considerable to ihkGovernment rgyeque. Not countirfg'The Island of Sardinia, the lottery in 1879 brought no less than 67,513,269 lire into the treasury. The total amount df prizes was lire. The sixty-seven chief provincial towns, with 629 lottery offices and a population of 4> 4,019,520 inhabitants, caused the enorniofis sum of 43,- 031,814 lire to flow into the treasury. The rural districts, with 1,102 offices and 22,145,074 inhabitants, contributed 24,451,454 lire; in other words, the pop ulation of the chief provincial towns paid a voluntary tax of 10 lire 71 centesiaii per capita, tiie^raldi^c^^y able to read and write, and a population of 10,533,884 souls, spent 21,689,808 lire for lottery, placing, i. e., 2.06 lire per capita, and" the remaining ones 2.22 lire for each inhabitant. People play more where the game is facilitated by a large number of lottery offices. Twenty-four provinces with 1,279 offi ces expended 52,228,277 lire ; the other 43 provinces with 452 offices only 15,- 285,011 lire, making an average of 4 lire 17 centesimi for the former and 1 lire 12 centesimi a head for the latter. In those provinces which pay a larger quota of taxes the inhabitants are more given to playing. Asa curious and at the same time regrettable fact be it mentioned that the city of Turin, with 39 per cent, of persons unable to read and write, pays on an average 10.73 lire a head to the lotto administration; Milan, with an equal percentage, 9.41 lire; Venice, 47 per cent., 14.70 lire; Genoa, with 68 per cent., 8.06 lire ; Rome, with 60 per cent., 19.91 lire ; Florence, with 65 per cent., 16.33 lire; Bologna, with 68 per cent., 6.70, and Naples, with 69 per cent., 19.91 lire. — Wiener AUyemcine Zeitung . A Bea Waif. Avery curious anecdote is told con cerning Admiral Bythesea, V. C., C. 8., who retired from the service, after hav ing for many years filled the post of Cor suiting Naval Officer to the Government of India. It is stated P-r.i the Admiral was picked up, when an infant, far out at sea, lashed to a bale of goods. A l iy—presumably his mother—was with him, but she was dead, and there was no evidence of any kind by which the name of the waifs could be traced. The offi cers of the man-of-war which picked up the poor little infant did all they could by advertisement and inquiry to dis cover his relatives, and, finding all their attempts futile, they determined to adopt the child, to which they gave the name of “By the Sea.” He was sent to a naval school, and, when old enough, joined the navy. By a happy coinci dence the first ship in which he served was the one which had saved his life as an infant. He took to his profession, and during the Crimean war distin giushcfj. himself at the Island of Wardo, where he earned the Victoria Cross and the decoration of C. B. Later on his services in India gave him the Compan ionship of the Order of the Indian Em pire, and he retired from the service with the rank of Admiral—a consumma tion little dreamed of by the kind-heart ed officers who rescued and educated him. We learn that Ellis & C >.. proprietors of Bailey Springs, are making prepara tions to entertain an unusually large number of visitors this summer. They are receiving communications from all over the South inquiring rates and con tracts for board. This is only therrdue, for not only are they successful hotel keepers, but their place is in every way worthy of patronage. It is one of the coolest, shadiest, breeziest places in the South ; the locality aud surround ings are delightful; the buildings are roomy, airy, and conveniently arranged; the accommodations, fare and attention are first class, and Shoal Creek is the most romantic stream and the best fish ing water yorr ever saw. Add to this the unrivalled power of the old Rock Spring in the cure of dropsy, scrofula, dyspepsia and diseases of the blood, skin and kidneys, and the sum of attraction is irresistible. If you have ever been there you know this is true. If you have not, try it just once. You will never regret it. .Address Ellis <fe Cos., Bailey Springs* Ala. Borrowing and loaning stocks—When a party has sold stock short and not bought it in by the time delivery must be made, he “borrows” the stock for the purpose of making a delivery, pay ing the owner the market price at the time, and agreeing to return it at the same price on demand or at a fixed time, the lender of the stock paying the bor rower an agreed rate of interest on the money, or the borrower paying the lend er an agreed premium for the use of the stock, as the case may be. Honored and Blest. When a board of eminent physicians and chemists announced the discovery that by combining some well ten own valuable reme dies, the most wonderful medicine was pro duced, which would cure such a wide range of diseases that most all other remedies could be dispenced with, many were skep tical : but proof of its merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the dis coverers of that great medicine, Hop Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as benefac tors.—Democrat. M. BnoNDEAtr gives the following re cipe for purifying and bleaching sponges: The sponges are first washed in teped water, and then in hydrochloric acid, which frees the pores from the carbonate of lime. To bleach them they are im mersed for twenty-four hours in a solu tion composed of five parts of hydro chloric acid to 100 parts of water, ‘with the addition of six pints of hyposulphate of soda. In this way sponges 'may be bleached more effectually and rapidly than with sulphurous acid. Look Out lor %H<tdeu t of weather, amt guard again- 1 mein by sudug VYeruer’B Safa kidney au<l laver Cure.

It is calculated that sixty tons of steel j are annually consumed in the man€faets£j nre of steel pens. Bees have very little power of com municating with "each other. F. Miller gives curious instances of the inability of the bees to invent for themselves a natural language. A quantity of flour was exposed by a French experimenter to a pressure of 300 tons, reducing it to one-fourth its original bulk. A portion of it was then placed in cans and sealed, the same be ing done with some unpressed flour: A year afterward the cans were opened, when the unpressed flour was found to be spoiled, whild the pressed was in ex cellent pDejilst^ation. A web affords an excellent barometer. An old sportsman of Cold wafer, Mich., claims that one preserved ;in his house has proved almost invaria bly correct. When rain and wind are expected, the spider shortens the threads which suspend the web. When reef* are let out, fine weather may be certain, but if the spider remains inert, r<pn will probably follow within a short time. Twelve years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth there was not a plow in the vicinity of Boston, and the farhaers broke up the land with hoes or other hand implements. In 1637 there were but thirty-seven plows in the ■whole State, and at a later period it was the custom for one owning a plow to do nearly if not all the plowing for a town. The town often paid a bounty to one who would buy and keep a plow in repair and do the work in this way. The swiftest bird, probably, is the eagle of the sea, or frigate-bird, often measuring sixteen feet from tip to tip. It hovers at an elevation of 10,000 feet when a storm sweeps over the ocean. If it wishes to travel, says a French nat uralist, it can almost annihilate space. It can breakfast in Africa and dine in America. This bird reposes on its great motionless wings, literally “sleeping on the bosom of the air. ” Thebe are in our land 25,520,582 males and 24,632,284 females.
