Thomas jefferson on Massachusetts,

In 1915 Thomas jefferson, the
great apostle of American Democra-
cy, wrote letter to Gen. Dearborn
of Massachusetts,, in which occurs the
following paragraph:
s'Oh, Massachusetts! how | lament
the degradation of your apostacyl
Let us look forward, then, to the end
of repentance, which by diminishing
her traitors, shall be the signal ofre-
turn to the bosom and to the princi.
pies of her brethren; and if her late
humiliation can just give her modesty
enough to suppose that her Southern
brethren are somewhat on par with
her in wisdom, in information, in bra
very, and even in honesty, although
not in Psalm singing. she will more
justly estimate her own relative mo-
mentum in the Union. With ker sn-
cient principles, she ~Oald really Be

We have no idea, here, how har-
yesting is done at the west. A per-
son who was lately in Rock county,
Wis, says that he stood at the top ol
hill called Mount Zion, six miles
from Janesville, and counted on the
surrounding plain one hundred and
sixty-four horse power reaping ma
chimes, busily cutting down wheat.
There were one thousand men, women
and boys following after, binding
and shocking up the golden shesves.
1t was sighs worth seeing to behold
the grain falling and being gathered
up at the rate Of two hundred acres
per hour!

How the Price Of Bread is Man
ased in Paris.

Every bag of wheat, -four or meal
that comes to the city, must be
brought to the Halle au Bic, OF
Grain Hall. This is an immense
arena, enclosed with a circular wall,
and covered by a huge dome, SO that
it presents vast, unbroken ball, Of
grand and beautiful proportions,
lighted from the top. Various
stalls. with desks, fern the Offices of
the clerks and employers. On the
floor of this hall are piled up, cob
house fashion. in huge piles, ten to
twenty-five feet high, the bags Of
grain, presenting to the visitor stri-
king panorama of sDlid plenty.
The city of Paris is surrounded
by a wall, not for defence, as it is
comparatively slight, but simply for
police, revenue and other municipal
purposes, one of wbichis the regu-
Iation of the bread market. Barri.
ers, that is, gates, with police atten.
dants and revenue officers, form the
only entrance to the city, except the
river Seine. which has also its guards.
Every bushel of wheat or graf
brought to the city for sale, must be
registered and stored at the Grain
Hall, under heavy penalties. This
regulation is rigidly enforced, which
it is easy to do at the barrier, with
so bulky an article, especially as the
bags must be of uniform size.
From this register of the daily
supply, the Government Of the city
know, at any hour, just how many
pounds or pecks o! grain of any
kind there is in Paris. From accu-
rate statistics, required to be furnish.
ed, they know bow much flour or
meal is baked daily at each bakery.
and how much bread of all kinds is
consumed. They are, therefore, able
to fix the weight and price of loaves,
each size and shape Of which has its
appropriate name, according to the
ratio between the supply and de-
mand, allowing fair and just plofit
to producers, traders and bakers-no
more, no less. The price, thus fair
ly graduated at short intervals, is
fully proclaimed to the public, the
dealers, the bakers, and the police.
The police are authorized to drop
in at any time into any bakery OF
bread shop, wherever bread is expos
ed for sale, and weigh the loayes.-
There is also special inspecting Of
ficer appointed for this express pur-
pose. His visits are not stated, that
be may not have things got ready
for exhibition instead Of inspection,
according to the English and Amer
lean fashion Of doing such things. :
If the inspector finds the weight de-
fcient, or the price of particular
kind Of loaf too high for the grade,
all the bread in the shop is swept off
at once, and distributed to the hospi- !
tails and othor elemosynary estab-
Of tbs city. Thus are the
public protected against private Gu
pility specializing in the means of
existence.

My bother then properly set the
matter before him, and taking the
bank bills he returned them to the old
mans pocket-book, telling him al
though our father left no will, he had
recommended to his children to de-
stroy certain notes, due-bills, and
other evidences of debt, and release
those who might be legally bound to
pay them.
For a moment the old man ap-
peared to be stupifed. After he had
collected himself, and wiping the tears
from bis eyes, he said: "From the
time heard of your fathers death,
have raked and scraped, pinched and
spared, to get the money together for
the payment of the debt. About
ten days ago, l made up the sum
within twenty live dollars.
"My wife knew how much the pay

and advised me TO sell cowand make

her the good news. She IL probably |
repeat the very words she used when
she put her hand on my shoulder
as we parted: 4 have never seen the
righteous forsaken, nor bis seed beg
ging bread"
Giving each of us a shake of the
hand, and a blessing on our old faith
er's memory, he went on his way
re joicing.
After a short silence, taking bis
pencil and making a cast-"There,"
said my brother, "your part of the
the amount would be so much. Con-
trive a plan to convey me your
share of the pleasure derived from
this operation, and the money is at
your service"
Such is the simple tale which l,

insult to the reader.

Statistical Facts,

I The number oflanguages spoken il
the world amount to 1904. The in
habitants of the globe profess NOR
than 1000 different religions. Th'
number of men is about equal to tn,
number of women. The average 0
human life is about 33 years. One
quarter die previous to the age Of sew
en- years; one-half before reaching
seventeen; and those who pass thisagt
enjoy a felicity refused to one-hal
the human species. or every 1000
persons only one reaches 100 years
of life; of every 100 only six reacf
the age of 65; and not more than one
in 500 lives to 80 years of age
There are on the whole earth 1000,
10000 inhabitants, and of those SO,
333, 1888 die every year; 81, ,S24 eve
ry day; 3,700, every hour; and 7C
every minute OF ! every second. These
losses are about balanced by an equa
number of births. The married are
longer lived than the single, and a.
bove all, those who observe sober and
industrious character Tall men live
longer than short ones. Women
have more chances Of life in their ia
vor previous to being fifty years Of
age, than men; but fewer afterwards.
The number of marriages is in propor-
ton of Is to every 100 individuals.
Marriages are most frequent after the
equinoxes-that is during the months
of June and December. Those born
in the spring are generally more ro-
bust than others. Births and deaths
are more frequent by night than by
day. The number of men capable Of
bearing arms is calculated at one
fourth Of the population.
The profound theological wisdom
of some of our Scriptural expositors
is very amusing, or would be if the
subject were not too serious for anus
ing. ga short'time since" so writes
an Illinois friend, sin the Univer-
salist Sabbath School in Oquawa, in
the Hoosier State, the question was
asked, what the Saviour meant when
be said, Put not new cloth into an old
garment 1t passed all around the
school, and no one was prepared to
answer, when the Superintendent was
called on to explain it himself. With
countenance indicating deep reflection,
and very oracular voice, he remar-
ked: 1T is very evident to my mind
that our Lord meant to teach this
great truth, viz: hole will last longer
than sspatch!'
