Co-operation.
Unlike most of the British political
missionaries who kindly visit the Unit¬
ed States for the purpose of showing us
the error of our ways, Mr. Thomas
TT Hughes, the author .of “Tom Brown's
? fo™, h »! has ?*• come ” *? to T America r ft. to do «<>«• some
real good—to get the American work
ul ■_____ g man .. interested ... in the co-operative
store system of supplying their families
with tlie necessaries of life. The germ
of such a system already exists in the
United States in spots, but a recent
English writer on tlie subject of co-oper¬
ation in America declared that lie found
associated with all the organizations
here an element of heresy, or an “ ism ”
of some sort, which invariably precluded
the general public from participation in
its benefits. An organization to which
all could subscribe without in the least
degree altering their mode of living,
their ideas, or their place of residence,
lie failed to find. There are some ob¬
scure ones, birt the reason that they have
not succeeded is because, having no
central organization through which to
make purehapes, the expenses were as
great with them as with other retail
dealars. M.r Hughes also cpmes in ♦l-n
^ntetest of h KBciety to find homes and
ms for jjpospqctive immigrants. It
Hhs recently attempted to colonizo a
tract of laud which it owns in East
Tennessee. Mr. Hughes intends to
deliver lectures under the auspices cf the
Central Board of the American co-oper
ativo sociiuies. The good success of
Miss Kate Field in the co-operative
Dress Association is quotod us a sure
omen of what will result from the visit
of Mr. Hughes, who can speak by the
card, having been identified with the
stni ^ les and sncce6ses of tlle «»°ve
ment. The New York Herald thinks
AmeriCan C0 *° peraiiVe D,0VenleMt
is able to start at a point attained in
England only after twenty years of
struggling experience. All the trade
connections been made, and it is
thought that tiie movement will be
started as soon as Mr. Hughes’ lectures
advertise it a little. It is claimed that
even now, if the Central or Purchasing
Board in New York were ready to be¬
gin work, and all the existing stores
would open correspondence with it, a
dividend could be declared to sliarehold
ers durJn « the next ( l" artei ' ln E »'

store was started with twenty-eight

mem ers > memoer
ship was half a million, divided among
over a hundred stores, each separate
, store did its own purchasing. It was
dlscove red , that ,, , by , “pooling , their ,, . issues” . ,,
they could purchase to greater advan
tage and at less expense ; so tlie central
stores were devised, and since 1808,
when the c#itral stores were opened,
all the branches are supplied therefrom.

by the central stores may be conceived

John,” as he was called, rolled in wealth
and wallowed in wine, and people said
that he was going to the dogs by light

last June Old John’s prolonged dissjpa

broadsword one day, and mounting his
best horse galloiied across the country,
si ishing at everything that fell under
UfS eye. Reaching the widow’s house he
leaped from his horse and chased the
widow rounij and round the woodpile in

widow snatched the sword. In an

A Sad Story of a Wrecked Life.
The most thrilling and sadly suggest¬
ive temperance lecture is the sight of a
once noble, talented man, left in ruins
by "intoxicating drink. A Washington
paper tells of a ragged beggar, well
known in the streets of that city, who
once held an important command in the
army, having beqn promoted, for per¬
sonal bravery, from a cavalry lieutenant
to nearly the highest rank in military
service. One night recently, when he
had been too successful in begging liquor
tu sate his craving, and while lyitfg help¬
lessly drunk in tlie rear part of a Third
street saloon, some men thought to play
a joke on him by stealing his shirt, and
proceedeif to strip him
Underneath his shirt, and sus{iended
by a string from bis neck, was a small
c jnvas bag, which the men opened and
found it contained his commission as
b.evet major-general, two congratulato¬
ry fetters—one ffem General Grant and
oh fro«*J*resident Lincoln — a photo
g'*pb of a little girl, and a curl Of hair
‘ o “ Chestnut shadow ”
If v*U use, •
j When there things were discovered,
even the half-drunken men who found
them felt a resjiect for the man’s former
greatness, and pity for his fallen condi¬
tion, and quietly returned the bag and
its conteats to where they found them,
and replaced the sleeper’s clothes upon
him.
When a reporter tried to interview
the man, and endeavored to learn some¬
thing of his life in the past few years, lie
declined to communicate anything.
He cried like a child when told how
his right name and former position were
ascertained, and with tears trickling
down his cheeks, said :
“For God’s sake, sir, don’t publish
my degradation, or ray name, at least, if
you are determined to say something
about it. It is enough that I know my¬
self how low I have become. Will you
promise that much ? It will do no good,
but will do my friends a great deal of
harm, as, fortunately, they think I died
in South America, where I went at the
close of the war.”
Intemperance and the gaming-table,
he said, had wrought his ruin.
Night in the Moon.
At hist, however, night sets in.
Gratefully it comes after tlie sun has
gathered up his smiting rays and gone
down to his rest. All at once we are
plunged into comparative obscurity, for
again ttiere is no twilight to stay tlie
steps of departing day. At one stride
comes the dark. But, looking up into
tiie sky, we behold a vast orb, which
pours down a milder aud more benefi¬
cent splendor than the great lord of the
system. It is such a moon as we ter¬
restrials cannot boast, for it is not less
than thirteen times as large and lumi¬
nous as our own. There it hangs in the
firmament, without apparent change of
■place, as if “fixed in its everlasting
seat.” But not without change of sur¬
face. For this globe is a painted pano
nrnw, and turning round majestically
on its axis, presents its oceans and con¬
tinents in grand succession. As Europe
and Africa, locking the Mediterranean in
their embrace, roll away to the right, the
stormy Atlantic offers its waters to view,
tl,en the two Americas, with their huge
treats and vast prairies pass under in
spection. Then the grand basin of the
Pacific, lit up with island fires, meets
the gazer’s eye, and as this glides over
the scene the eastern rim of Asia, the
upper portion of Australia, sail into
sight. The Indian ocean, and after
! ward the Arabian sea spread themselves
out in their sulsJned slendor, and thus
in four and twenty hours, “the great
rotundity we thread ” turns its pictured
! counteaance to the moon, and grandly
repays the listening lunarians by repeat
; mg, to the best of its ability, the story
' of its birth. Nor is tho sky less mar
, velous in another respect. For the ab
of any atmospheric diffusion of
which he had taken refuge. lie sur-!
prised them by coolly walking out among
them. His head, chest, back and sides
were protected with heavy plates of iron
Nine policemen joined in the conflict,
and fired point-blank at Kelly, but,
though many of the shots struck him he I
always recovered himself, and, tapping
his breast, laughed derisively at his op
ponents as he coolly returned their fire.
For half an hour the strange combat I
was carried on. Then an officer closed !
in on him and fired two shots into his :
legs, and this brought the outlaw down. >
When on the ground he roared with say- -
ago ferocity, cursing the police. J

Under date of Hamilton, Ont., June
9, Right Rev. p Fuller writes to
the Chicago Iribu \ s follows :
In the month of -arch last I deliv
ered in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, a
lecture entitled “ Upper Canada as it
was Fifty Years Ago, ana Ontario as it
now is; ” and in the course of my lec¬
ture I spoke of the great difficulty of
constructing the International Bridge
between Buffalo and the Canada side
opposite to that city on account of the
great current of water running at times
down the Niagara river, where the
waters are driven by strong westerly
winds down Lake Erie, whereas the
quantity of water running down the
river is very much diminished when the
winds drive up Lake Erie. I then re¬
marked : “This fact caused an event,
thirty-two years ago this month, of
which probably very few of you have
ever heard. I refer to the time when
the Falls of Niagara were dry for a
whole day ! That day was the 31st Of
March, 1848. I did not witness it my¬
self, but I was told of it the next day by
my late brother-in-law, Thomas C.
Street, Esq., M. P. Happening to go
out to his place the next day, he told
me that his miller (for he has a grist
mill on the rapids above the falls)
knocked at his bod-rooni door about
five o’clock in the morning of that day,
and told him to get up, as there was
no water in the mill race, and no water
*Ii>tho'gveat rivesr ov-UyiiU, the wife jivv.
He said he was startled at the intelli¬
gence and hurried out as soon as he
could dress himself, and then saw the
liver, on the edge of which he had been
born thirty-four years before, dry. After
a hurried breakfast, he and his youngfcst
daughter (then unmarried) went down
about three-quarters of a mile to
the precipice itself, over which there
was so little water running that, having
provided himself with a strong pole,
they started from Table llock and
walkod noar the edge of the precipice
about one-third of the way to Goat
Island, on the American shore, and
having stuck this pole in a crevice of
the rock, and Miss Street having tied
her pocket handkerchief firmly to the
top of the pole, they returned. He said
he then turned his view toward the
river below the falls, and saw the water
so shallow that immense jagged rocks
stood up in such a frightful manner
that ho shuddered when he thought of
his having frequently passed over them
in the little Maid of the Mist (as I often
had done.)
He then returned toward homo and
drove from the Canadian shore some
one-half mile above the falls towards
Goat Island. When lie told me this he
reproached himself very much for not
having sent out for me about eight miles
distant, but he said that, though he had
several times intended to do so, he had
each time concluded not to do it, lest
before he could reach the wonderful
scene Lhe waters should have returned
to their old courses. Of course, every¬
body was speaking of the wonderful
event when I was out there the next
day, and I have heajjl others who wit¬
nessed it speak of it since that time.
So far can I testify to the evidence of
the fact at the time of its occurrence.
Mr. Street’s theory was this : That
the winds had been blowing down Lake
Erie, which is only about thirty feet
deep, and rushing a great deal of the
water from it over the falls, and sudden
ly changed and blew this little water
(comparatively speaking) up the western
portion of the lake . a „ d that at thjs
juncture the ice on, Lake Erie, which
had been broken up by these high winds,
got jammed in the river between Buffalo
and tli» Canada side and formed a dam
whieh kept back the waters of Lake
Erie a whole day.

A "Widow s Way.
Near the town of Millville, Cal., is a
cozy little cottage hidden by fragrant
curtains of clematis and shaded all day
long by a groye of spreading oaks. Un
til recently this cottage had as its onlv
occupant a young widow, who, though
rosy and full of life, kept all admiring
j bachelors at a distance. Down the road
a rnilo or so lived John Simpson, a
wealthy and childless widower, whose
life had been embittered because of
I former domestic unhappiness.

Woman's Consistency. j
The Old Maids’ Association of Geau- j
ga county, {Jhio, had a picnic on the
lake recently, and mustered eighty-six
souls.’ of the This and society was organized an outgrowth in I8fi2 j
war, was
by a bevy of young ladies whoso broth
*rs and sweethearts were fighting^or
their country, and left them wit II
the resources of male escort, except
laggards who remained at home. Un
wiliiug to accept the gallantry of these
young men, the young ladies preferred
to depend upon themselves, and formed
the association mentioned. Out of re¬
venge the gallants duboed these damsels
“ old maids,” and they accepted tlw cog¬
nomen and made it their own. A hu¬
morous constitution and by-laws were
drafted by Mrs. C E. I fern- y, then a
single young lady, and one Of thi found¬
ers of the institution. Man was de¬
clared the “ common enemy,” and one
of the chief objeej^pf the society was a
continued war against his advances.
He was religiously excluded from all
meetings, and a special clause of the by¬
laws said that any member who sir >ulil
marry should be fined one hundred big
copper cents, and be branded in far on
the soles of her feet, “ U. I). I.,” mean¬
ing “ up aud done it.” The beautiful
consistency of woman’s nature will be
appreciated w(jf n it is known that eve¬
ry one of the cli^dler members and. near¬
ly all of eligible ago since are nnnried.
An Inebriate Asylum for Women.
A liberal myiscript^n has been started
and 850,000 raised already toward the
constrfictioit at Wilton, Conn, (where a
sized farm has already been set
apart for the purpose), of ad inebriate
asylum for wouien. Melancholy" ait die
fact seems it nevertheless is a fact that
there !• a largely .increasing ollu, cfeps -of
woih«n in thin qountrv tfet in
toxicate themselves habitually on opium,
but a portion of whom indulge to excess
in spirituous liquors also. There have
been recently a number of distressing
cases of exposure of ladies guilty of these
humiliating vices, and it is probable
that a good many families of well-to-do
people have skeletons of this sort in their
closets. Tlie proposed asylum is to meet
just such cases as this ; to furnish am
spectable, secluded retreat where a wom¬
an of good connections and otherwise
docent conduct may have a chance to
break off from llw habit which most
demoralizes her sex and is most unwor¬
thy of it. Among tiie subscribers to tlie
proposed new asylum are the President,
Vice-President and all tlie Cabinet, to¬
gether with tlie chief officers of all the
departments, thirty-five Governors and
ex-Governors of States, and no end of
judges, professors, leading lawyers and
eminent physicians. The enterprise
seeuis to lie conducted under excellent
auspices, and it ought to succeed.
Come Home to Rest.
“ Why are you not at tho Springs ?” I
asked a young gentleman who is a fash¬
ionable frequenter of the White Sulphur,
a few days ago in Richmond.
“ I’ve been there,” lie replied.
“ But why are you not there now ?”
The weather is certainly hot enough.”
“ I had to eotne back for a rest.”
“ A rest 1 I thought people went there
for rest.”
“ Some people may, but 1 find it much
harder work than to stay at home.”
“ You do V Pray tell me tlie nature
of your laborious work at the White.”
“Well, I first frolic, meander, chin
and roll tenpins with the girls all day,
dance half the night and play cards tlie
balance of it, until 1 get so used up that
I have to come home for a rest.”
But you are going back again ?”
Oil, yes. I’ll tackle it again as noon
as I get well on my pins .”—New York
Herald.
An Equestrian Statesman.
In one of the numerous campaign bi¬ :
ographies of General James A. Garfield,
appears the following extract of a de¬
scription of a wonderful feat of the
Credit Mobilier statesman at Chicka
mauga :
“The General’s horse is Rhot in full
gallop, and his rider is hurled fifteen
feet forward by the momentum, but
turning a complete somersault,, he lights
on bis feet and waves his sword for Ins
men to come on, as if nothing had hap¬
pened.”
If that is true, General Garfield need
have no fear of his future, after lus
defeat for the Presidency, and , he , need ,
not go upon the lecture stage •either.
