The gold held by the Treasury in its
vaults at Washington weighs 518 tons.
If packed into ordinary carts, one ton to
each cart,it would make a procession two
miles long, allowing twenty feet of space
for the movement of each horse and cart.
Tiro silver in the same vaults weighs 7,-
306 tons. Measuring kin carts,as in the
case of the gobi, it would require the ser
vices id 7,RIM horses nnd carts to trans
port it, nnd would make a procession
over twenty one miles in length.

gathering them. The natural growth
beds of Rhode Island and Connecticut
are practically extinct, and even the
great beds of .Maryland and Virginia arc
being rapidly exhausted. Indeed the
natural growth beds north of the
Chesapeake are generally practically
worthless, save as nurseries for seed.
Al present, there nre only 332 miles of
railway open to traffic in Japan, but 357
miles are in course of construction, and
145 miles, projected, have entered a
practical stage. There are different
styles of roads, some being on the Ameri
can a: d German principles, but the ma
jority arc on the English system. The
engine*, with the exception of a few
American, are all English, in addition to
the wheels and axles of carriages. A
great deal of the woodwork is bein^/con
structed in Japan.

Mexico, notwithstanding its republican
form of govmnmeiit, is very much of a
military despotism, -uni the general offi
cers of the army natni.ally arrogate to
themselves a great deal of the authority
that is supposed to be vested in the
civil arm. A curimi example of this
occurred in June of this year, when Gen
eral Ruiz pr >ceede 1 by tra n to Chihua

Some singular statements have been
made in a German paper concerning the
effect proilm-ed by different trades and
industrial oceupatious upon the general
health. Among these facts art* those
contribute 1 by -Prof. Hesse, of Leipsic,
who point - out the deplorable condition
of the teeth of linkers, and who also as
serts that he is frequently able to indicate
the occupation of per-ous by the con
dition of tfieir teeth. In the case of
bakers the caries is soft and rapidly pro
gressive; th ptincyial parts attacked are
the labttfi.tud buccal surfaces of the teeth,
commencing at the cervix and rapidly ex
tending to the grinding surface- the
apiiroxiuial surface' not seeming t.: bo at
tacked more than in oilier trades. Prof.
Hesse believer that the disease is owing
to the inhalation of flour dust, the caries
being caused by the action of an acid
which is formed in the presence of fer
mentable carbohydrates.

A CLEVER WOMAN.
BY EVELYN THORPE.
“No, you have no ambition, cried the
girl; “but I have!”
Her splendid eyes flashed upon the
young fellow, nnd in a dull, undefined
way, he felt clumsy and loutish, nnd
altogether inadequate to the companion
i ship of this radiant creature.
“Ambition?" he repeated, vaguely.
Hilary swung hcr.-clf on the gate’with
- an impatience which perhaps accorded
: little with the announcement she had
been making of high and brilliant social
, aims for herself.
“Yes, ambition I Did you ever think
I you would like to be anything more or I
better than you are now? And what are
[ you? Just a farm hand!”
She flung the words out with a mag
nificent contempt.
“It’s what your father and brother was,
j Hilary,” returned Oliver, after a litt'e
space. He said it gravely, without accent
| of offense.
“That’s no reason why everyone should
go on being the same thing to everlast
ing,” announced Hilary, not very
but w ith decision and passion,
Oliver felt himself defenseless before
I this worldly wisdom. This had always
■ been th -ir attitude. Her niinbleness of
wit left his slowness and heaviness at a
loss. There were things he would have
i liked to say things which he felt vague
ly. w hich haunted him with a torturing
sense that his reasons were best, but that
he should never su ceed in explaining
i them so that Hilary would heed, or
even listen. He had not so much as the
resource of a sigh whereby a more mal
leable organism relieves the tension of
worldless discomfort. He stood, In ap-
I pearnnee a bulky, stolid J'Duhg rustic,
chewing without thought 'upon the long'
straw he had between his teeth; and .
the bright, slight, vivid girl by his side
Continued to swing her little body back
and forth on the white gate from which ■
the paint was chipping and forgot bis
existent e.
It was a night fair and warm, and
redolent with sweet, wholesome odors
| from the rent red barn, stocked with
grain, 't here was a glory of blue moon
light abroad and a south w ind rustled
the elms. It was a night full of poetry
full of the mysterious voices of nature.
1 he joung fellow, through his heavy
corporal envelope, thrilled with visions,
resolve-, yearnings he could not define or
understand, of which he was scarce con-
- scions. The girl, hi r spirited beauty
glorified by the rare light that shone
upon her face, her eyes looking widely
out into the sleeping fields, dreamed of
city streets nnd the life of thronging
1 crowds mid the delights of delicate dress.
Fin illy, after a silence neither bad
measured for different reasons, Oliver
stirred 'lowly.
“I suppose I must be goin',” lie said.
“Oh, must you?"
Hilary mine back violently from her
reverie and gave him an absent glance.
But immediately, as he was turning away
without other words, she added:
“t ome again when you can,” and ac
companied the admonition with a smile
who'c actual enchantment she could not
have helped hud she tried. i
She looked after his broad, tall figure
going down the moonlit road.
“Poor Oliver! He'sa first-rate fellow,”
she thought.
And then she went back to the castles
she was build ng. crystal clear and
I iridescent with a hundred lights, in the
silence of the sweet, serene midsummer
night.
****»♦«
The shops were o|H'ning, the factory
girls were trooping to t ,eir work, and
the great city was awaking with a myriad
tongues to its busy day, when a young
I man who, somehow, had the look of
mid He ag -about him, tool stopped at
an address which he had in his pocket.
It might hire been there some time, for
the bit of paper on which it was written
was worn n d discolored at the folds.
A tall and imposing personage, w ith a
costume of eonspieiious stilishness and
I Ail unimp a. liable coiffure, looked at
him and came forward a little.
Nhe s emed to In- the only woman in
- the large, deep store, down the length of
which stretched broad white counters
laden with featheis, hats, flowers, boxes
of ribbon. Some young men, clerks,
wen- lounging ab- ut in i.-irio-.ts attitudes
of languor, a a aiting the beginning of
the day's lab us.
"Lester, did you say!’ repeated the
imposing j erson with the smooth and ef
fective h lir. "Miss Hilary Lester: I
couldn't toil you. really. >he has not
been here in my time. We employ only
a few girls up stair- on trimmed sample
hats."
she h id au air of having dismisse 1 the
rural-looking m-w-comer. One or two
of the younger clek’ks smiled. Perhaps
Oliver «iw it. If so he did not mind.
He w da moment more.
"You -you could not tell me where
she is now?”
The superb female smiled mightily.
“Not very well, since I have told you
thnt I don't even remember the name.”
“No, of course not," stammered poor
Oliver.
“Who was he after? Seemed to be
pretty badly cut up,” he heard some one
laugh a( he went out.
Stumbling a little in his walk he
passed along the great, strange, noisy
street once more. Hurrying hundreds,
each unit of-them all on his own in
terests, his own absorbing con erns, in
tent, brushed by him unheeding.
Rudderless, compassless, he found him
self launched upon an unknown and
boundless sea. Where should he look
now? Never in these five yertfs of toil,
of patient striving for one idea, had this
thought occurred to him, that when he
did manage to follow her it might be too
Tate; that she might have gone beyond
the ken utterly of those who had known
her. He walked about the stro ts
vaguely,aimlessly, all that drty; and when
the down-town thoroughfares shone w ith
the white glare of electric lights he con
tinued his footsore wanderings. He
stopped before show windows when the
crowd stopped. And once he followed ■
n small detachment into a flaring place
labeled “Museumof Natural Curiosities,”
where he looked, w ithout comprehension,
at n fat woman, a girl from ’irca-'in with
woolly hair, and an assortment of wax
I figures. On leaving this place he noticed
a sign offering night’s lodgings for
twenty five and fifty cents, beside a
' narrow, clean flight of stairs leading up
ward into a large house. He considered
I a moment and then event in. He paid
I fifty cents. He took his money out of i
! his pocket nnd put it under his pillow,
lie would be very careful of it. He
would spend nothing on himself. He
might find Hilary yet. But where?
♦ * * * ♦ *
It was a small room, its spaces man
aged and utilized in the spirit of com
pact snugness which characterizes the
iheaper metropolitan flat; but it was a
very pretty room. Its grace and almost |
elegance of arrangement made up for its
exiguity. And the pretty woman xvho
poured tea for her one visitor gave a last
bright charm to the apartment which the
gentleman was not slow to appreciate.
He was a rnthec florid person.to whose
. good looks the touch of forty years had
given a certain appearance of added
prosperity and perhaps pompousness.
The appearance of prosperity was quite
justified. Mr. Vannest McFarlane had
all the material things which a man need
w ish for. Perhaps he took them —his
Unimpeachable position, his Knicker
bocker blood, his inherited and accumu
lated wealth—rather as a tribute to his
personal excellence and respectability;
but, all the same, he was a man of many
good impulses and of some generosity.
If he were very prudent in some respects
one could not but acknowledge that he
had the right to such prudence, situated
as he was. The Mrs. Vannest McFarlane
of the future would enter upon a really
very desirable position.
“Yes. I have great sympathy with
some of these fellows,” observed Mr. Mc-
Farlane, sipping his tea. “It is pathetic
the struggle they go through when they
are launched into the maelstrom of city
life. Some swim; but many more sink.
Yes poor fellows! I’ve seen 5 good
hiany east; of the kind.”
The bright young widow’s face dark
ened w ith an aLuring sympathy.
"Yes,” she assented with a soft little
murmur.”
"Sonic have come under my especial
notice.”
“Yes? I dare say you have given many
a struggler a helping hand, top,” said
the voting widow. She said it quietly, !
net impulsively. If she had for cd the
enthusiastic note ft l nil Mr. McFarlane's
delicate taste would have taken umbrage, i
This was precisely what Mr McFarlane
so greatly appreciated in the charming
little woman in tile black drCss. He I
made no allusion to himself on the score
of her probable original status. He did
not know exactly what it was; but he
imagined, without wishing to inquire
very far ba-k, that it was something
rather simple, xvhile respectable; He
did not think he should at a'l have
cared for the acquaintance of the defunct
Mr. Lawton, who had been a frank,
fresh, young dry-goods clerk, with great
limitations as to his intellectual outlook,
and evidently greatly his young w ife's
inferior. Mr. McFarlane could not but
consider it as almost providential—and
this quite impersonally—that the young
dry goods clerk, after insuring his life
nicely, should have left his wife to pur
sue her career unhamln red by the restric
tions that a hu-band w ithout many re
sources niu-t place upon a elever and
pretty woman. If Mr. McFarlane was a
litt'e slow in finally crystallizing his
various feelings of appreciation, admi
ration, for this partieu'ar clever and
pretty woman into a definite offer of his
person and its a. conipanying advantages,
it is to be remembered, and said before,
that the advantages ware > really quite
u ncomtnon.
“A man does w hat he can in such a
case," he said, in reply to her remark.
But the remark had flattered him—had
be n delightfully agreeable.
Ami Mrs. I awton was looking so very
charming mose so even than usual, if
that were p •ssible— that evening. There
was -uch a soft color upon her cheek,
such a light in her eyes.
And whit an air of grace and breed
ing she had! There was something in
personal distinction certainly. It was
an excellent substitute for social distinc
tion. if one could not have that. And
what a quaint, mellow- name Hilary was!
"I have had one instance under my
notice for some time.” he pursued. "The
young fellow came from the rural dis- ,
tricts aliout two years ago. He was hon
est. industrious, a capital fellow, though
rather dull. But 1 don't think it was the
dulless which stood in the way of his
getting on. He had not come to the city
with any intention of seeking his fortune,
it appeared. Onjh-e contrary, when he
came poor wretch!—l fancy he thought
himself posse-~ed of a certain w alth. It
was a touching story. It seems -I only
found this out very lately, for the poor
creature is very retieent that he had an
attachment rather a hopehss one, I
imagine -for a young woman in his own
place, and that --he left it come to the '
city. Oliver Psiyu—that is his name—
saved and toiled and at the death
of his father sold out hi? share
of the farm at home. The young
woman, it would appear, had been
rather ambitious in the time pa-t, and
probably would not listen to his suit.
But I suppose Oliver felt that if he pre
sented himself before her as a capitalist
in a mild way she might be induced to
think differently of him and his offer.
But he never found her. Slit' had gone
up to higher things or down to lower,
and he looked in vain. And then he
had his money stolen from him one night
in a lodging house, nnd he had to look
for work or starve. Btlt b>' did not get
on. The hope that had held him up was
growing dimmer all the time. Finally
he fell ill. Now he is very low. I doubt
if he lives through another day. I have
been very greatly interested-in the poor
fellow. The girl s name was Hilary I es
ter. She worked first in a wholesale
straw and flower house down town. All
trace of het disappe.-ireel after that, Yes,
it i really an unusually sad case."
"Poor, poor fellow! The girl was a
namesake of mine, then?”
Yes. indeed, Mrs. Lawton was clever:
she deserved to succeed. She had
pushed her chair back a little from the
lamp, but she dared not raise her fan to
sereen her face from its rays lest the
action should betray the trembling of her
hand. She had the feeling a person
might have who suddenly saw a chasm
yawning at his feet. She dared not
move; she scarcely breathed. She con
trolled the muscles of her face, though
she felt with horror that her cheeks w ere
turning so cold and white that her visitor
must notice the change.
“Ah! Was your name Lester, too?”
asked Mr. McFarlane with a little sur
prised smile at the coincidence.
“No—l was referring to her first name
—Hilary.”
"Ah, yes.”
He began talking of other things. Mrs.
Law ton, smiling a little, throwing in an
apt word now and then, sat still, while
the quivering in her nerves subsided and
tire pounding of her heart grew- less and
less. She had but one thought. Had he
observed anything? Hud he suspected the
Cause of her agitation? It seemed to her
that it must lie written nil over her face
I that she was the Hilary Letter who had
I worked in the flower house down town,
nnd who now denied the man she had
known since childhood, the farm
hand who had seen her going about
the menial duties of the miserable
house whose male members went
on a bestial "tear” every few
weeks. But she need have had no ap
prehension. It could never have oc
curred to Mr. Vannest McFarlane to con
ceive of any possible connection between
this refined, graceful, brilliant young
woman, who bad evidently been superior
to her dry goods clerk husband, and the
country girl who had won the heart of
poor, ignorant, faithful Olivy; Payn.
#***•¥
When Mr. McFarlane called again
i (and the intervals between his calls were
growing more and more short) he thought
it only a proof of the directness and
femininity of Mrs. Lawton’s charming
nature that she should ask after his
prote; - and hope he was better.
"I don’t know whether it should be
called better or not,” returned Mr. Mc-
Farlane, ] ensively. “The poor fellow is
dead.”
“Dead
"Yes. He died last night.”

A few months later the morning
papers of the metropolis announced the
marriage of .Mr. Vannest McFarlane to
Mrs. Hilary Lawton.—.Yeir Yvrk Mercury.
A Drunken Rooster.
One morning recently Mrs. Peter
Boudreau, of Saulmierville, went to the
barn as usual and got a mess of oats,
which she gave to her fowls. Later in
the forenoon she noticed xery strange
action among them and that the rooster
was stretched on tire ground, apparently
dead. Mrs. Boudreau, to make the best
of it, plucked him clean, with the excep
tion of a few tail and wing feathers, and
consigned him to the refuse heap feeling
con-, ineed that he had been poisoned.
Toward noon, to the great surprise of the
whole family, he was up again, strutting
about as gay as ever, though deprived of
his costly and necessary app irel. But
our good la ly, being equal to the occas
ion. took him in the house and fitted him
with a fine suit of overalls, and nt last
accounts he was doing as well as could
be expected under the distressing circum
stances. Mrs. Boudreiu, de ermined to
find out the cause of this stiange phe
nomenon, went to her oat barrel and
found tbit a bottle of liquor had been
placed in the barrel and the liquor had
leaked out in the grain, which explained
the whole mystery. The rooster was
drunk.— Montreal Witness.
Attacked by an Alligator.
It is seldom that Mississippi River
saurians, either through hunger or
anger, become the aggressors and attack
human beings. But such a thing
occurred recently at Bruly Landing, in
the lower portion of West Baton Rouge
Parish, La. While little Maurice
Bergeron was shrimping in the river a
large alligator suddenly app ared near
him and made an effort to throw- him
into the river, using its tail as a weapon.
Fortunately the blow, struck with ter
rible force, missed its mark and the boy
turned to run for his life. As he did so
the monster made a savage ru-h at hirr.
Coming out of the water he seized
Maurice by the leg, inflicting a slight
flesh wound and tearing off a great
portion of the boy’s trousers. Before
the a'l gator could get a second hold on
the boy he had scrambled up the ba tue
and was out of danger. The alligator's
attack on the boy was witnessed by
several persons who. however, hid no
time to intervene, so suddenly did the
affair take place.

Balzac reveled in millions as a niisei

schemes that he lb’ved to describe pale in
to insignificance before the fortune- and

lADIAN IAFAAT MARKIABB.
A Bombay Court Reluctantly Com
pelted to Enforce a Cruel Law.
[From the Tendon Times.]
Calcutta, March 13, 1880.—The case
of Rukmibhai, the native lady whose
Wrongs aroused so general u feeling of
Sympathy in England and India, ts
probiibl* fresh in the memory of your
readers," but aS the case now appears to
be on the point of reaching a crisis it
mav lie well to recapitulate the facts
briefly. Rnkmibhai was married, ac
cording to Hindoo usage, at the age of
eleven, to n youth some years her senior.
She remained at her parents' house, was
cure fully educated , and grew up, accord
ing to all accounts, into ft refined and
higiiii ’hiltivated lady. Some eighteen
months ago site published in the Tinic*
of India, under the oPirt de plume of A
Hindoo Lady,” a series of Laeible and
atrikmg letters on the miseries crttailorl
OR her sex in India by the barbafiW ;
customs Ls infant marriage and enforced
widowhood. Last year her husband
tried to get her to live ivlOi him, nnd on
her refusing instituted a Slut for the
restitution of conjugal rights in tbn
Bombay High Court. The case was
tried in" the first instance by Mr. Justice
Pinhey, when it having l>cen proved
that the husband was too ptXtf io sup
port her, -was utterly ignorant fiflu un
educated—in fact, a mere coolie—and
was, moreover, consumptive, the Judge
expressed tlie opinion that it would be a
barbarous, cruel and revolting thing to
compel her to live with such a man. He
further held that such suit could not lie
under Hindoo law and dismissed it.
The husband appealed, and the ease
was argued before the Chief Justice and
Mr. Justice Bayley. Those learned
Judges, while expressing their entire
sympathy with Rukmibhai, felt com
pelled to rule that Mr. Justice Pinhey
was wrong in law, and remanded the
case to the lower court for trial on its
merits. It has now- been roll card before
Mr. Justice Fnrran. Rukmiblini’s coun
sel could only repeat that liis client had
never consented to the marriage and
never regarded the man as hei husband;
that the husband w as poor, ignorant and
unhealthy, and if ordered to return to
him she would lie forced to disobey, nnd
was prepared to take the consequences.
The Court had no option save to pass an
order that she should join het husband
within a month. Should she fail to do
so she would be liable to six me nths’ im
prisonment. The ease has excited much
sympathy among the Anglo-In< iian com
munity. The English newspapers are
publishing articles and letters on the
subject, and steps are being taken in
Bombay to raise a fund cn her behalf.
Among tlie native commi.iiity, liowever,
hardly a single voice, exezpt that of Mr.
Malnbari, a Parsec gentlivnan, has been
raised in her favor, nnd the so-called re
formers who agitate loudlr for represen
tative institutions, etc., say no word for
tlie alteration of the ciuel law which
the Bombay Court has been reluctantly
compelled to enforce.
A Mountainous Region.
The scene of the present revolt in
Afghanistan is the mountainous region
from 100 to 250 miles southwest of Ca
bul. Since the Ameer more closely
allied himself with the British, two '
years ago, he has redoubled his efforts
to establish at Cabul a strong central
government and to assert his auihority
over the semi indep; indent tribes who
for many years have lived nt peace with
the Ameers only when left pretty much
to themselves." They now complain
that he is robbing their chiefs of the
authority that rightfully belongs to
them, and especially that he is impos- :
ing heavy taxes upon them, a grievance
thnt has been at the bottom of more ,
than one revolt in Afghanistan. It
needs no incitement from Russia to
arouse these Ghilzais, Shilgaris, and
Wardaks in revolt gainst the Ameer’s
present policy. They are simply re
enacting an oft-repeated chanter in
Afghan history. The rebellion now
covers nearly two-thirds of the region
between Cabul and Candalinr, and it re
mains to be seen whether it will yet in
volve the ruin of the Ameer or compel
Great Britain to interfere again in the
affairs of "the buffer State,” which
she had hoped to make a strong bul
wark between India and the Russian
power.
