GREAT PRorIr MADE RY THE Uyrrrp sr.rps

GREAT PROFIT MADE BY THE UNITED STATES
The amount cleared outright by the govern
ment, in the recent auction of lands in Chelsea
Massachusetts,, probably exceeds any sale of the
kind ever made by the United States The
property consisted of some ten acres of upland
which the authorities at Washington originally
purchased for the small sum of five hundred
dollars per acre, or five thousand dollars only
for the whole. This was all that was paid for
the upland the fats, consisting Of about IA ,O0O
feet, having been thrown in or given to the gov.
ernment when the conveyance was made. Be.
fore the late auction, the property was divided
into lots and appraised at $3.50, 900, as its mini
mum value, and though no credit was allowed
the purchaser-the terms being equivalent tc
cash dOwn-yet the proceeds, according to one
published report, amount to no less an aggre.
gate than Sl75,000; or Sl85,O0 according te
another. This aggregate is exclusive of the
ia, 900 feet Of flats, valued at the minimum OF
ninety cents or one dollar per foot and the
whole of which fats was reserved or withdrawn
from the vendue.

CURIOUS SCENE IN THE HOUSE OF Commons.
A distinguished English gentleman and men,
Der of Parliament tells the following pleas
ant story of an occurrence in the House of Com
mons:
at was just about the hour, near twelve.
when the dandies turn in from the Coventry
Club, or some Belgravian rout when, except
three or four of the first men in the House. no
one would be endured, and no one is listened to,
unless, perhaps, buffalo like Colonel Sibthorp,
or Rabelasian wit like Henry Drummond or
flashing hussar of debate like Osborne, who
rushes In every sentence at some opposition foe
and levels him with his lance. The hour of
twelve Is death to bores. They dare not cross
its threshold. At the back of the Whig benches
IN old man arose, tall and silyered From his
dress of top boots and drab breeches and blue
coat with gilt buttons, one would have fancied
he had been dug up from some reign of the
Georges, had not the fresh bloom on his cheek
caught In many hunting morning and his
hale, hearty look proclaimed the fine, old
English gentleman This wa. Galley of York
shire. At first the dandies stared, and were
inclined TO chastise such unusual sudacty in
invading an hour sacred to Peel, Stanley. Rus
sell, Gladstone, and D'Israeli But somehow
the genial, kindly presence of the man, and the
good old garments he wore to which even Llass
young England softened, saved him. and the
House relapsed into listlessness. But listless-
ness soon grew into interest when, after q most
earnest and touch ng appeal to the Premier to
save the old glory, and old customs, and old
peasantry of England, he repeated, with a
manly, touching pathos, the song of Woodman,
spare that Tree I cannot we'll describe the
effect which these beautiful words, which do
honor to the head and heart of their author,
produced. The House was perfectly still when
the old man sat down. Sir Robert Peel against
one Of whose measures Mr.. Caley's appeal had
been made, felt it, and when he rose his voice
faltered. admit he said. the touching
beauty Of that ballad, but deny it's applica-
ton to any measure of mine Itwas sometime
before the sensation subsided, but after it did
so, groups gathered around Osborne and DIS
raeli to listen to personal description of the
author, who was familiar to them from the pic
turings Of Willis and others Morris is now as
we'll known TO many of US as if we had looked
into his kind face, or felt the warm pressure of
his hand.''

How TO SELECT FLOUR.-l. Look at It's color,
If it is white with slightly yellowish or straw
cOlored tint, buy it. If it is very white, with a
blueish cast, or with black specks in it, refuse

a little of it between your fingers; if it works
soft and sticky, it is poor. Flour made from
spring wheat is likely to be sticky. 3. Throw a
little lump of dry -four against dry, smooth,
perpendicular surface it adhercs in a lump,
the -four has life in it; if it falls like powder,

hand if it retains the shape given it by your
pressure, that, too, is good sign. Flour that

fatalism of Islam
