The ExoRBITANcY OF MEANNEss.
ertraraganzas of man or woman lay
such heavy stress upon the pocket book or
purse as meanness This may seem para
doxical, but it's nothing of the kind. How
many thousands to save n cent walk mile.
How many to cut down expenses cut off q
thousand of the little "lilling ms" which go
to make us both happy and healthy. Jones
refused to let his little boy run an errand for
Johnson, and when Jones's house was in a
blaze, Johnson forbid him touching his water
to put it out. Smith by accident ran his
wagon afoul of Peppers's cart, Peppers in
revenge, "cut away" at Smiths horse; horse
ran away, broke the wagon, dislocated Smiths
coar-bone; suit at law followed, and Pep
pers being mighty spunky, as well as
powerfully mean man, fought it out four
years, and finally sunk every cent he had in
the world by the slight transaction, 1t is a
iirst-rate idea to be economical, but the man
who sees and feels, and smells and tastes,
entirely through his pocket-book, isn't worth
cultivating an acquaintance with. Go in,
marry money if you can, save up some, but
don't cultivate meanness, for it never pays.

WHAT DID IT MEAN'-A young couple
with responsibility" attached, having seated
themselves in the cars, the other day, the
husband turned to the wife, and whispered
"Did Bub perfect his arrangements before we
left homef- dearest, he did," answered
the lady.
A bachelor friend of ours, on the next seat
having overheard the question and answer
began to cudgel his brains severely to ascer-
tain their purport. But he could make moth.
Ing of il, and meeting a married sister soon
after, he applied to her for a solution Of the
mystery. In return he received sharp box
on the ear, accompanied with bit of advice
"to 90 and get married, and learn 'ohat's ,6hat.'

Railway IMPRoyEMENTS.-lt is now
scarcely quarter of century since railways
were first used for the transportation of pas
sengers, and already their aggregate length
must be at least twenty-five thousand miles,
exceeding the circumference of the globe
Great Britain is ribbed with them to an ex-
tent really astonishing when their immense
cost and the rapidity of their execution is
considered; we should, at rough guess, es-
innate the extent of British investments in
Railroads at not less than Five Hundred Mil
lions of Dollars, and it may very considerably
exceed that sum. And the construction of
Railroads is evidently yet in its infancy. Al
ready one may take a car in the Scotch
Highlands and, with the single interruption
of two hours water-transit from Dover to
Calais, ride by rail through London, Paris,
Brussels, Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, to Triste
on the Adriatic; and soon Warsaw, st. Pc
tersburgh, Moscow, Prague, Geneva Milan,
Rome, Turin, Marseilles, Madrid, Lisbon, &c,
will be all knit together by web of Rail-
roads, easily traversed at the rate of five hun
dred miles per day, and bringing any capital
of Europe within three or four days ride at
farthest OF any other,-N Y Tribune.

SEGAR MANUFACTURING IN NEW YORK.
Millions of segars are manufactured annually
in this city, mostly by Germans, in obscure
and out-of-the way places, and afterwards
upaSsed through different hands to the con-
Sdhiei ssei.~sld as the Simon pure Havana.
Recently we happened in at one of these
places, for moment, to see how the thing
was done. In q contracted, dingy looking
apartment, several men were industriously
engaged preparing the article Before them,
on small tables were piles of the weed, prin-
cipally grown in Connecticut The leaves
after being sufficiently moistened to become
pliable were drawn through and rolled in the
palm OF the hand, then wound round with a
perfect, good colored leaf, called the "binder'
One end of this is twisted, and the other cut
off square; the segar is then complete. Men
are at hand to pack the same in boxes, pro-
perly branded. One individual will make
800 or $50 in day, and about twenty-five
pounds of leaf make thousand segars. Ten
years ago, the business of segar making, con-
Quoted in this style, was quite profitable; but
of late large number of Germans have
squattcd in various parts Of the city, till there
are probably between three and four hundred
different places of manufacture, and COMPETE
ton has had tendency to reduce prces.--
More segars, too, are imported from Hamburg,
Bremen, and elsewhere, than formerly. This
year, partially in consequence of the large
California demand, the business has been bet
ter than last.-N y. Jour Commerce.

seen, is one which directly concerns the COM
mcrcial and trading interests Of the eommu-

to be present is addressed to all who desire
the promotion of the laudable ends in view.
I'm order that due arrangements may be made
