In 1878 one man to every seventy-two engaged in trade failed. Thus far in 1882 only one man to every one hundred and twenty-eight has failed ; this, in the face of the drouth of last year, and the hard times now complained of. » ♦ It is found that the mind of Under Se< r tnry Burke’s sister, who lived with him, hi s given way.

Jr Just now, when everything else is so high and the complaining so general, it is a consolation to know that there will be no lack of fruit, which has so much to recommend it on its own account. More use of it and less use of meat at this season has always been urged by medical authority, and compliance with the advice seems now likely to bo invol untary. The revenue of the United States from its mails is now greater than that of Great Eiitain, and is almost equal to the British receipts from mail and telegraph combined. The Administration is to be congratulated upon its great achieve ment of keeping expenditures within its revenue, and yet succeeding, in giving the people better mail facilities than they every had before. A reporter on the New York HbrW interviewed several of the one thousand Mormon emigrants who recently arrived in that city from Europe, en route to Utah. One of them gave the following reason why he took the Mormon view of the lawfulness of polygamy: The Scriptures is in favor of this thing of havin' more wives as one. Revelations tells of how in the last days seven women shall take hold of one man. Abraham had a lot of wives and so did David. Now David might a’ went wrong, but the Scrip tures say as how as a man’s faults is for give. That’s the reason we think we have got the law of God on our side. '’’ till Bey has stirred up the fanati cism of his co-religionists in Egypt to such a degree that if he were to yield in the present crisis he would have as much to fear from their resentment as he now has from the Western powers. His followers arc earnestly awaiting the manifestation of El Mehdi, the Messiah, on the 12th of November, and the Sultan doubtless has an understanding with Germany. The widespread preparations in England are sufficient to prove that the opening of hostilities is not regarded as any child's play or more demonstra tion against an offensive Egyptian Cabinet. Ex-Senator Christianos' had a lu dicrous interview with Mrs. Christian cy the other day. Passing her house, he heard a tap on the window, and looking, saw the author of his domestic troubles waving a letter at him. He concluded to get the letter, and with that purpose in view, started for the door; lint the door opened before he reached it, and before he was able to en ter, a pair of white arms was clasped around his neck. What did he do ? Well, he was stern—loosened her hold and pushed her aside, and in r< to her “Please take me back,” he told her “No; not to-day, nor at any other time,” and withdrew. Alexandria, the port of Egypt now threatened with bombardment by the English and French fleets, is a. city of 250,000 inhabitants. It lies flat, is well built in the European quarter, while the Turkish section is squalid and dirty. Its at: dent walls are broken, but it lias two strong forties tea. It lias two ports, an caster a and western, the latter some | times ca l d the Old Port, being the I larger and better of the two. It is about • a mile and a half wide, and has three entrances. The foreign war vessels in I the neighborhood numbered thirty-two a .week or two ago, and their aggregate haSgincreased. The period is a critical one. England has determined on ac tion, and Franco seems to have thrown off her fears of Bismarck, aid will join in. the bombardment of the plac *, unless Arabi Bey backs down, of which there is no probability.

For instance, “unlettered India proof,” as it is technically called, is, from being taken off the engraving at an earlier stage, very much superior to what is called a “lettered India print,” which is obtained after many impressions have been taken off tlie engraving, and when the plate has, consequently, become worn, and tlie picture lost its clearness and sharp ness of line. To turn an “India print,” therefore, into an “India proof,” the India print is cut down all round close to the engraving. A clean sheet of India paper, of the same tone as the India print, but of a larger size, so as to show a clean, blank margin, is then mounted on a piece of still larger plain paper, and the cut down India print in turn is mounted in such a position as to show the usual margin all round. Before drying, the manipulated print is sub jected to immense pressure, which so forces the mounted print into the India paper as to entirely hide the difference in the thickness of tlie material. A true impression taken off a plate leaves tlie mark of the plate all round the picture; and to add this to the ‘ ‘ doctored ” India proof, a plain steel or copper plate of the proper size is laid on the face of the print, which is again subjected to pres sure, and the deception is then so com plete as almost to baffle detection. A volume belonging to a collector was sup posed to contain India paper impressions of engravings to the value of £3OO, but on examination they were found to be “doctored” plates, not worth £3O in all.— Chambers' Journal. Chinese as Printers. A Chinaman offers his services to the publisher of a monthly paper in this city, to set up all the forms o|' bis paper, send him proofs of each article, and make the corrections marked in the proofs when returned, and convey the forms to and from tlie press-room for seventy-five cents a column. There are forty-eight columns in the paper, eacli column twenty and one-half inches long by two and one-quarter inches wide. The offer was declined, whereupon the Chinaman said ho was doing the same work for two other periodical in the city. They learned the business in Hong Kong and Canton, where papers are published in the English tongue, and where China men are drilled into the work on account of th# scarcity of white labor.— San Francisco bulletin. Pearl Fishing on an American Coast. Pearl Fishing on the coast of Lower California is an important industry, no lens than 1,000 divers being employed in bringing up the costly black pearl, which is found in a great state of perfection in the deep waters of Paz. The pearl ureters are found from one to six miles off shore in water from one to twenty one fathoms deep. Merchants provide hats, diving appartus, etc., for the pros ecution of the business, on condition that they can purchase all the pearls found, at prices to be agreed upon, i These boats, which are usually of about five tons burden, sail up and down the I : coast from May to November searching ] ■ for treasures. The product of a year’s ] i work is about $500,000, estimating the ; 1 pearls at their first value.— Alta Cali- \ ' (oinian. Spiders as Big »s Birds.

A correspondent of the Buffalo Courier describing the present condition of the Andersonville prison pen, says : Passing along the memorable causeway, on either side of which the scrub oaks grow thick ly, I soon come upon the red banks of the old earthworks that guarded the main entrance, and to the line of de cayed and fallen timbers of the outer stockade. Inside of this, and to the right, are the ruins of the old bakery, now simply a mound of earth and broken brick from its chimney. Climbing the rail fence that occupies the place of the former inner line of stockade, resting upon its piles of fallen decayed timbers, I cross the “dead line” and stand within the space where eighteen years ago, more than 20,000 miserable, ragged, diseased and starved human beings were huddled, burrowing in the ground, lying under tents of ragged blankets, striving to shelter themselves from the fierce rays of the sun. The timbers have in great part rotted off next the ground and fallen, lying like two great windrows, marking the confines of the ground. But wherever there was a timber of heart pine it is still standing, its pitchy fibres as sound as ever ; and there are enough of these to enable one to readily trace the course of the stockade nearly around the entire place. The traces of the old, sad days are distinctly visible on every hand. The mounds and cavities of tlie thousand dens and burrows are everywhere. It would be exceedingly perilous to attempt to cross this space in the night ; and one must have bis eyes open in the day time, as he is constantly coming upon the yawning mouths of the old wells and entrances of tunnels from fifteen to thirty feet deep. The wells toward the northern part of the ground are the deepest, several of them being thirty feet deep, the stiff red* clay precluding any danger of their caving in ; and in fact now, after the lapse of years, there are but few of them that are not as perfect and their walls as hard and smooth as the- day when they were completed. The very niches that were made in the walls to ascend and descend the walls by are still plainly visible. Some of them are partially filled with brush and sticks that have been thrown into them, but most of them are entirely empty anil open. The stream which runs in at the west side and out at the east had, at the time of my visit, a flow of fifty gallons per minute. It does not have a rapid cur rent, but it is so broad that I could not iumv across it. and is about a foot deep. Bees, Mice, Cals, and Flowers. Many of our orchidaceous plants abso lutely require the visits of moths to remove their pollen-masses and thus to fertilize them. I have also reason to believe that humble-bees are indispensa ble to the fertilization of heartsease, (Viola tri-color), for other bees do not visit this flower. From experiments which I have lately tried, I have found that the visits of bees are necessary for the fertilization of some kinds of clover; but humble-bees alone visit the red clover, (Trifolium prateuse), as other bees cannot reach the uectar. Hence I have very little doubt that if the whole genus of humble-bees became extinct or very rare in England the heartsease and the red clover would become very rare, or wholly disappear. The number of humble-bees in any district depends in a great degree on the number of field mice, which destroy their combs and nests; and Mr. H. Newman, who has long attended to the habits of humble bees, believes that more than two-thirds of them are thus destroyed all over England. Now the number of mice is largely dependent, as every one knows, op the number of cats, and Mr. New man says : “Near villages and small towns I have found the nests of humble bees more numerous than elsewhere, which I attribute to the number of cats that destroy the mice.” Hence it is quite credible that the presence of a feline animal in large numbers in a dis trict might determine, through the in tervention first of mice and then of bees, the frequency of certain flowers in that district. — Darw in. Appearances of Arsenic Eaters. “Whenever you clap your eyes on a woman as plump as a partridge, with a milky whiteness of complexion, puffy eyelids and swollen skin, you’ve found a victim of the habit,” said a physician to a reporter, in alluding to the growing use of arsenic among ladies. “If there is a delicate tinge of red on the cheeks, don’t be deceived. Paint, not Nature, is responsible for tlie bloom, made hideous and ghastly by contrast with the corpsey whiteness of the rest of the face. Tlie arsenic eater is seldom downcast or de spondent, come what may, for the drug not only affects the skin, but produces mental exhilaration. Tlie plumpness produced by arsenic is not na ural plumpness, but rather a dropsical condi tion of the skin. Cessation of the habit causes this water-distended skin to col lapse, and wrinkles and sallowness are the inevitable results. Os course, no woman is willing to submit to this ordeal when it may be prevented, at the mere sacrifice of health and intellect, by a continuation of the use of the drug. The inevitable results of the arsenic habit are hideous and incurable cutaneous eruptions, loathsome diseases of the scalp, falling out of the hair, dropsy, and oftentimes insanity. But what care the footlight favorites or the society belle for those trifling after-inconven iences so long as they can borrow i.lu- ! sive charms and fictitious beauty by the I use of the deadly drug? —Pride that dines on vanity ..ups ; Ountenipt. Mid-Day Revelations of the New Comet. | The observations made on Wells’ ; comet at the Dudley Observatory during ; its meridian passage are exceedingly valuable. The character of the nucleus of great comets has long been a matter 1 of controversy. Last summer Prof. Draper concluded, from observations on ' the great comet of 1881, that the nucleus was either a solid or a liquid. Long ago Prof. Pierce, of Harvard, concluded from his observations that the nucleus of a comet is a solid body of metallic density. The observations made at Al ■ bany tend to support the theory of Prof. Pierce. Wells’ comet at noonday on the 11th showed a well-defined disc like a planet or asteroid. The best theory of the con stitution of the tails of comets is that they are of elective origin, being the re sults of excitation as the nucleus ap proaches the sun. The nucleus is un doubtedly opaque, being in reality an unfortunate world compelled by an ac cident of birth to wander in the celes tial spaces in a manner that forbids the development of animal life on its sur face. The near approach of many com- • ets, among them Wells’, to the sun, undoubtedly causes rapid disintegra tion. One has been known to split in pieces. Prof. Stone, of Cincinnati, 1 thought he saw the nucleus of the great comet of last sumfner divide, and then come together again. Prof. Boss finds from his mid-day ob ; servations with the transit instrument that the orbit is very nearly a parabola, and there is little prospect that the com et will ever return to the sun. A dis patch to Prof. Boss from Lord Craw ford, at DunEcht, Scotland, helps some ’ what to explain the failure of the comet to fulfill expectations as to brightness. Spectroscopic examinations by Dr. Lohse revealed a sharp bright line, co- * incident with the sodium in the solar spectrum, also strong indications of oth er bright lines. This, with the actual observation of a disc sixteen hours after perihelion passage, when the vapors were hot and transparent, indicates a solid body. As soon as the comet be gan to leave tlie sun the vapors began to condense so the disc was not again visible. Prof. Boss thinks ths presence of sodium accounts for the failure to throw off a tail of great length. Other comets have shown the spectrum of hydro-carbon, but this one is of a differ ent composition.— Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat. Anecdotes of Shipwrecked Men. Lord did not find the Gallipagos islands so much to his mind as did an Irishman, who let his ship depart with out him, and set up his rest on one of these volcanic islets, dwelling there for seven years in a hovel of his own build ing, living upon tortoises, seals and fish, washed down with rum obtained from ships in exchange for the potatoes and pumpkins he busied himself in raising. In 1818, an American sailor was taken off a desolate rock in the South seas by a boat’s crew belonging to H. M. S. Queen Charlotte, whose attention had been drawn to the spot by the smoke of a seaweed lire. He had three years be fore been left there with three com panions, all of whom had quickly suc cumbed, while he had lived on, sustain ing life by feeding on the flesh of birds and drinking their blood. The find of the Queen Charlotte’s men was not so surprising as that of the Flemish seaman, Pickman, when, in 1816, his ship grounded near a small island rock between Scotland and Ire land. Some of his men, going in search of eggs, came upon a black hairy creat ure, who by signs entreated them to come to close acquaintance, and, finding the strange object to be really a man, they took him on board with them to tell the skipper his story. It was a melancholy one. He and two others, occupants of the passage boat between England and Ireland, had been captured and afterward cast off by a French pri vateer. Having nothing eatable save a little sugar with them, one of the three soon died of starvation, the others lived to be driven on the island, where they built a hut out of what was left of the boat, and for six weeks lived on sea mews, sea-dogs, eggs, and water. Then the partners in misfortune parted com pany, one of them disappearing, leaving his forlorn friend in utter ignorance of his fate ; he could only surmise that he had fallen into the sea while searching for eggs. Months passed, and the poor fellow lost all hope of deliverance. Win ter came, and found him clwthesless. Compelled to keep within the hut for days together, he only kept starvation at bay by catching sea-mews, as hungry as himself, by baited sticks thrust through the openings of the hovel’s wiills. So he kept himself alive until the accidental advent of the London bound Flemish timber ship released him from his dreary durance.— Chambers’ Journal. Etiquette in Writing. With regard to writing letters, none but school girls cross and recross a sheet of writing paper, two sheets of paper are invariably used, if one sheet of pa per will not contain all that is to be said. If half the second sheet of paper is left blank, it is not torn off, a whole sheet being more convenient to hold and to fold than is a half sheet of paper. If a few last words are necessary to complete a letter, they are written on the margin, not on the writing across - the face of the pages. In addressing envelopes the address should be written leßibly in the center of he envelope I and not run off into a corner. * h ie Journal i TERMS: Si.(lo A YEAR. Exterminating Bate ami Mire. Mice and rats seem to increase very rapidly in the haunts of civilization es pecially in large cities. Seaports are particularly infested with them, as New Yorkers know but too well. These ver min have grown to be a supreme nui sance there, notably in old houses, which are fairly overrun. They multiply every year, appearing in numbers where a short time ago they were hardly seen. How to get rid of mice and rats is a se rious problem with householders, who are often forced to move on tlieir ac count. Even an entirely-new house is apt to be invaded after a few months, and to be seriously hurt as a place of residence by the ravages of the nox ious animals. Traps, however ingen ious of contrivance, do little or no good after a brief while, as the cunning creatures detect their purpose, and either avoid them or secure the bait without danger of captivity. Cats get lazy. A good mouser will in a few months become indifferent to what has been its favorite pursuit. And any or dinary cat is afraid of rats, as well it may be, and will seldom venture to at tack them. They tire generally too wary for a terrier, which, with all hii vigilance and ferocity, is deceived by them. It is thought tliat the introduc tion of ferrets into houses would miti gate the annoyance. They are often employed in Europe to destroy such ver min, and were so employed by the old Romans. If kept from the cold they are readily taken care of, and, al though not docile or afi’ectionate, they are ranked as domestic animals. They are natives of Africa, and dependent on man, both here and in Europe, as with out his aid they would perish. They will soon rid a house, it is said, of mice and rats, which have a natural dread of them, and have been known to desert premises that they occupy. They are a terrible and unrelenting foe. They are noc turnal, sleeping nearly all day, and very watcliful at night, when the household pests commit most of their depredations. Their smallness and slenderness enable them frequently to follow rats into holes and kill them in a trice. The general belief that they destroy life by sucking blood is erroneous, notwithstanding the statements of naturalists, from Buffon to Cuvier and Geoffrey St. Hilaire. After death they, like other members of the weasel tribe, ■ doubtless suck the blood of their victims, but they kill too quickly for so slow a process. It has been shown, by repeated experiments, that they often inflict but a single wound, whicli proves almost instantane ously fatal. They then, as a rule, quit their victim at once and kill another in the same way. The simple wound is trader or behind tlie ear, and may or may not pierce the large blood-vessels. The canines enter the spinal cord be tween the skull and the first vertebra of the neck, destroying the victim as the matadore destroys tlie bull. They pierce the medulla oblongata, the very center of life, and immediately extin guish motion, consciousness and sensa tion. This is one of the maqy instances in which the instinct of animals has an ticipated the tardy deductions of sci ence. Tlie ferret is so masterly a rat slayer that there seems to be every rea son for introducing him into our domestic economy, as he will accomplish what , trap, poison, cat and dog have not and cannot. _ Densify of Population. New York is the most populous of the States, containing about one-tenth of the entire population of the Union, but it has not the densest population. The Census Bureau reports that the number of square miles in the Republic, not in cluding the Indian Territory and some unorganized tracts, is 2,900,170. T* population in 1880 was 50,155,773 17.29 per square mile But in R's Island the population is 254.87* square mile, in Massachusetts 221. o New Jersey 171.73, in 128.52, and in New York 106.74. State, therefore, ranks fifth in <’ of population, and there is an tion of a future greatness of whA-Jf few have probably thought in tl that iuhas room for so many moi habitants. The population of the trict of Columbia is 52,960.40 per sq mile. Macaulay’s lugubrious prediction, t when we have a population of 200 p square mile our Government will go pieces, is not generally regarded wit. other interest than curiosity by Ameri-’• * cans; but were it a demonstrable fact, it would have no immediate terror for this people. There were 90,019 immi grants who arrived at Castle Garden last mouth, but were the rate of immigra tion to remain the same, it would re quire more than 500 years to give the country a population of 200 per square mile. The population of Germany is now 205 per square mile. It conveys a vivid idea of the future magnitude of this nation to say that when its density of population is equal to that of Ger many, the United States will have 594,- 531.850 inhabitants, not including the Indian Territory and some tracts now unoccupied.—As Y.
