Progress In Rleetrleol Science.
- LPopular Science Monthly,]
Perhaps we have arrived at that atage i|
our study of electricity where our instru
ments are too coarse to enable us to ex-
tend our investigations. Yet how del lea to
and efficient they are! Compare the in.
struments employed by Frankliu, and
cveu by Faraday, with those which are in
constant use to*day in our physical Inborn*
tories. Franklin, by the utmost effort of
bis imagination, could not conceive, prob
ably, of a mirror galvanometer that can
delect the electrical action of a drop of
distilled water ou two so-called chemically
pure platinum plates, or of a machine
that can develop from the feeble magnet-
, ism of the earth a current sufficiently
! strong to light the city of Philadelphia. ‘
Let i im who wanders among the histor
leal instruments of many of our college
collections stand before the immense fric
tional electrical machine of Franklin
day, or gaze upon the rude electrometers
and galvanometers of that time, and con
trust Franklin’s machine with the small
Toepler-Holtz electrical machine which,
with a tenth of the size, gives a spark ten
times as strong as Franklin’ii; or the ele ••
trometors and galvanometers of Faraday
with the •mirror-galvanometers and elec
trometers of Sir William Thompson.
Vet, at the same time, let such an ol>
server think of the possih*lilies of the
next fifty years, for the advance of
science is not in a simple proportion to the
time, and the next fifty yean, will probably
see a far greater advance -.ban the 100
years since the date of Franklin's elec
trical work have seen. Is not the state of
our imagination like that of the shepherd
boy who lies upon his back, looking up at
the stars of heaven, and trying to im
agine what is beyoud the stars? The ouly
conclusion is that there is something far
more than wo have ever beheld.
Grtllna Tlierc.
[Bob Burdette.]
It doesn't take a great while get a
boy out of a place where he wants to stay.
Man comes out into the orchard.
“Chil'ea come right down out en that are
tree this minute!”
“Which tree?”
“Why, that un yer in!”
“Tlds one?”
“ Yes, that one. ”
“This one here by the fence?”
“ Yes, that un yer in. ”
“This one with the red apples?”
“ Yes, that un, an’ I (lout want to tell
ye agin!”
“ Well, we’re coinin’ down. ”
“ Well, come down mighty quick. ”
“Well, 1 am. ”
“Hurrah, then!”
“Must I come clear down?”
“Ckardown on the ground, and g«t
thar mighty quick, too!”
“ Well "—slowly sliding down the trunk.
“I am down. W hat you hollerin’ at me
for?*
If there are ten boys in the tree, the en
tire dialogue with variations has to be re
peated for each boy, in case the rnr.n is
tlieir father, or some near relative, and by
lime the last boy gets to ground, there
isn't an apple on the tree. In case the iu-
terviewer is a stranger, or a dog, however,
the first word or prefatory bark isn’t com
pleted until the tree is’ns desolate and
solitary as a garden of cucumtiers, while
the adjacent road is full of howling boys,
casting into * the orchard Parthian shots
of casual stones and derisive remarks.

[Peck’s Sun.]
William Day, of New Hampshire, wn*
strolling through his orchard the other
day to see how many apples had been car
ried olT by the boys living in his neigh
borhood, when he espied a wildcat crouch
ing on a limb in one of his trees. Now,
William, like a great many other people,
can never pass an animal, especially a cat,
without firing a brick at It, or hitting it
with a club. When lie saw the wildcat
lying so comfortably in the crotch of the
tree, with its eyes closed in slumber, lie
straightway hied himself to *a rail fence
for the purf ose of getting a stick with
which to awake the sleeping animal.
Mr. Day will never agaiu meddle with
a wildcat, for lie had no sooner given it
the first fond caress with the rail than
from a little round ball of fur It spread
out as big as a buffalo robe, and with a
spring it struck Mr. Day on top of the
head, and, without stopping to ask that
gentleman’s permission, proceeded to re
move his clothes. When Mr. Day’s
friends found him there was wasn’t n
stitch of clothing un his body, and up to
last accounts they had counted 105 claw
marks ou his person and were still finding
them.
A Fortune (row a Flower.

The gorgeotts dahlias which so brill
iuntly ornament the gardens at this time, i
and arc so effectively used in decorations,
ore of Mexican origin. They were first i
introduced into Germany by Dahl; llicii
name was then “Bidens Magnificat” after
ward they were called dahlias, in honor of !
the man who found them. They were, ■
when discovered, quite single, having only
one ray of petals about a golden disc; the
colors were scarlet, yellow aud white, the I
latter being distinct from the others, hav- j
ing smaller flowers, and lielng of a dwarf J
Imbit. with leaves much divided aud fern 1
like in character. The English were the j
first to attempt the doubling of the dahlia,
which was prized by royalty, and so
jealously guarded that those iu charge of j
them were sworu to secrecy as to their .
cultivation; It was considered a great
privilege even to see them growing. In a j
few years semi double flowers appeared, j
aud ultimately the perfect double dahlia ;
war obtained, which sold for five guineas !

Mexico at New Orleans. !
[KJath’.i“ Letter.]
The latest illustration of the progress of |
Mexico Is that afforded by the prepara- i
lions, now well under way, for a remark- |
able display at the New Orleans ej^oal- ;
tioa iu December next. The general gov- i
eminent appropriated $100,0X>, and the
separate states have raised as much more.
Gen Porflrio Diaz is commissioner gen
eral* and his assistants are men of rank
and long public experience. Mexico has
been given 50,000 square feet in the main
building and 200,003 square feet in the
garden, and is also permitted to ornament
tn3 center of horticultural hall. The en
tire republic has entered with enthusiasm
upon the task, and it is believed that the
dvqWav of minerals, agricultural products,
manufactures, antiquities and curiosities j
of every description will surprise even the
test fiicuds of cur sister republic.

“Whistling Joe’s” Wonderful Per-

[New York Sun.]
All old ue-rro. who Is very short and as
i fat as a traditional alderman, put his bead
. iuto the forward cabin of a Cortlandt
I street ferry-boat, a dsy or two ago, and
J looked warily aliout. Every seat was o:
j cupied, and one or two persous were

i foxy look, and he smiled to himself as

! up a position bv the paddle box, where he
could command a view fore and aft, and
was evidently keeping a weather eye o]>en
for the deck-hands. Every once and
ft while be put his hand up to Ills mouth in
tin apologetic way and chuckled very far
down in his throat. If he happened to
catch the eye of auy of the pa.sengcrs nt
su:h a moment, he winked wMi intense
meaning and chuckled louder than ever.
When the boat moved out of (he slip he
gave one more searching gla -.ce toward
the doors, and then, fixing b»th eyes on
the ceiling, began to whistle “The
Mocking Bird ”
The people stared at him in amazement.
It sounded like a full toned fiutc in the
hands of a good player. There seemed to
lie an immense range to it, and ho went
from chcp bass tones to the sharp and
shrill pining tones of a piccolo. First he
whistled the tune through carefully, and
then he fell to giving it all sorts of varia
tions. The notes rang through the place
loudly and when he had finished he was vig
orously applauded; then he went off at a
rattling rate and whistled a dance tune,
and then fell hack again to imitating birds.
As he did so he took off his hat and began
to bow and wink nt the [icoplc.

a fled in his throat in a coaxing and

The latter then burst Into a joyous bit of
melody, something after the style of a

the next man. and so on, until he went
completely around the cabin. Only two
men refused to pay him. and he must have

| this new store was opened with on*
j of the largest stocks of Dry Hoods,
| Clothing, Cloaks, Uala, Shoe* and
: Millinery ever brought to Amert-
' cus.
| Every day since then, new and
j fresh goods bought by their New
j York buyer arrived, aud now h*
finds himself Compelled to go to
New York to make his second com.
pletc purchase in all lines. Never
has anything happened to equal it
in the iiistory of the Americus dry
gootls trade.
The only and best reason that
nan be assigned to this oxtraordi-
j nary success, may bo summed up
i iu the pluck and enterprise used
| by the proprietor, and the fact that
tho purchaser is not slow to find
out that here is the place to trade.
While other merchants have held
their goods at regular prices and
profits, he saw fit to reduce hi*
entire stock to such prices and
profits that would meet the approv
al of everybody and everybody’*
pocket, and succeeded with flatter-
ing success. But we are not near
at tho end yet. Monoy is getting
scarcer daily. St‘ll harder time!
are coming, and what will be the
final result is better imagined than
told.
The Barga’n Store man’s pro*
gramme will he a regular march.
He proposes to march down with
the prices ol all his goods yet in
stock, in order to march to New
York , with tlte proceeds to buy
goods lower than they were bought
before.
In order to raise ns much money ,
us possible, the Bargain Store oilers
before his leaving during this
week extraordinary inducements to
everybody, including country mer
chants. Goods will (to sold regard
less of oust, price or profit.
Respectfully,
S. M. COHEN,
*l.e Bargain Man.
