ORIENTAL MoDEsTY AND Po1ITENEss.--At
the town of Derr got accidentally into llt'
tie adventure that might have proved extremely
unpleasant. Small as the place was, contri
we'd to lose my way, and became entangled a.
mong number of garden walls and narrow
passages. Proceeding along one of these, /
fancied that heard female voices; and pres
sently emerging into shady court beheld
Young Circassan in the bath, attended by a.
black female slave In Ghristendom the lady
certainly would have shrieked and brought teFth
all the household in a moment; but her oriental
education had taught her great caution. Cas-
ting on me look of surprise, as she stood upright
in tho marble basin as white almost as the
marble ITSELF she asked me how | came thither.

not how had come nor how to depart Per-
ceiving my perplexity to be unielgned' she re-
piled, stranger, you are in much peril, but
follow the slave and she will conduct you to
place of safety" So saying, she waved her
hand toward a dark corridor, through which
after bowling to the lady, followed the negress
till we reached small door opening into the
street As it would have been extremely dwk-

have shot me first, and then inquired how

Tie Transfers Of Public NOney.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the n. Y. Journal Of
Commerce says;
+ The Secretary of the Treasury is quite deter.
mined that no political SPECTATOR shall make
money out of the Government, and, therefore, he
has put stop to the operation of transfer
drafts; no more transfers of public money are
to be made through brokers, or other financial
favorites. The money is to be carried by Gov
eminent porters in boxes and bags and deliv-
cred wherever it may be wanted.
Congress has never recognized the principle
of the transfer drafts. They are not tolerated
by law, but are directly contrary to it. Con-
gress must, by law, provide at once for the
protection of the public money, and for the en-
ployment of ordinary business machinery for
transfer of funds.

out the war of the Revolution. He graduated
at Nassau Hall, Princeton, completed his legal

city, and was admitted to the bar 1896. He
Immediately went to Cincinnati, then mere
collection of log cabins, and commenced the
practice Of his profession, which he pur-
sued with great success and usefulness, and
his influence and wealth appear to have kept
pace with the luxurient growth of the remark
able people with whose history his subsequent
life was identified. He was for many years a
Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio, served
part of term in the United States Senate,
and declined a reelection. He was Dele

The following plain statement OF very plain
case comes home directly to the laboring peo-
pie of our country 1t comes from the Haver-
hill Gazette:
THE CASE SrATED.-A'powerful stream had
run over falls, in certain aeiGhhcrhod slS 6
the creation. The people on the bank had long
admired the stream and fall. but they could not
control or use it, having neither money nor skill.
The people got their living by raising hops,
with little corn, beans, and potatoes; and poul-
try was their principal stock, as the land being
mostly pine barren, yielded little grass. That
which was cultivated was only worth Sc an a
ere, and much it was commonly worth nothing.
A and C came among them, bought hun
dred acres of land, including the falls, giving
$40 on acre. They laid out $4,000 in build
ing strong dam and factory. They paid $50,
900 to the people for labor, for quarrying stones
making bricks and putting up the factory and
and dam, and 81 600 went for nails, glass, &c
They paid 81 day for labor, and double for
lumber what it ever brought before. The clay
and stones were before worth nothing. They
paid for labor as we before said 81, when be-
fore labor on the spot yielded only % cts worth
of hops, potatoes, &C., and when they went out
to work among farmers on better soil they got
$l3 month
After the factory was finished they hired all
young men at 81 day, and the young women
at so cts Land rose in the vicinity, so that
many got 81 900 for that which was not before
worth lOO The farmers round got one-third
more for their hay, corn, and potatoes. Veg
etables which were worth nothing before, eX-
cept to eat, now brought ready market. The
articles manufactured were sold to the people
lower than ever before, as they were free of du-
ties and transportation.
At the end of ten years they reckoned all up
A B and c had doubled their money. The
land for four square miles was double in value
in the village, eighteen times its former value.
Thirty thousand dollars worth of honseS had
been built from the savings of the laborers, and
business continues.

Shirt COIdrs.-The business of manufac-
turing shirt collars is prosecuted to an extraor-
binary extent at Troy, N. Y. There are a

Valuable Cudge.-The following luminous
paragraph is from the Bath ENG Chronicle:
"a friend of ours, whose avocations compel
him to travel much in the dark, astonished us q
few nights ago. by exhibiting a capital weapon
of attack and defence. Taking from his pocket
what appeared to be stout constable staff, he
struck it smartly against the ground, and in an
instant blaze of light burst from the end Of it,
so powerful and brilliant that everything within
a quarter of mile was rendered visible, and
continued to be so for ten minutes. Had it been
used as a life preserver, and struck against the
head of man, the light would have been kin
died in Just the same manner, so that the instru-
ment may be used first to floor an assalant, and
afterwards to identify him.
