WISE EcoNoMY, The nights are length
ening; the. frosts will soon bite; the leaves
fall from forest trees; the weather grow
cold, sand oyercoats and fires come into
requisition.a This should be>a reminder
tosall; particularly the poorer classes, that
the time is now very brief in which to
make preparations for the approaching
winter season. Without such preparation
there will necessarily be much destitution
and suffering. Close economy, frugality
aud industry at this time, may be the
means Of keeping the sswoe from the
door" in id-winter, and there could cer-
ltaiuly sbessno stronger incentive to save

should scrupulously husband every pen
my, and cut. down their expenses to the
lowest possible figure, in order to be pre-
lpared for the contingencies that are like
by to befall them, - 49, aIs.stie. s,4

In making up the statistics OF the treasury

fiscal years ending June respectively In 1867,
1863 and 1864, Notwithstanding that we have

times more ham and bacon than in 1888 1852

Nearly all of the privates in the veteran

The n. Y. Worlds special, speaking of the
trial of the Stonewall for the edifcatiOn of
the Farragut court martial, says:
Her speed was ten miles an hour, which is
by no means her maximum. She seemed to
be very formidable. Her ram projected %
feet from her bow and lies 8 feet under wa
ter.
After the trial was completed, the general
impression seemed to be that Commodore
Craven exercised a sound discretion in not
attacking her. Had the Niagara's guns fail
| ed to make any impression on the four inch
| plating IF the StonewaIl the result would
| probably have been the sinking Of the Niaga-
ra by the latter ram.
The Stonewall is to be hauled into the
stream and guns of the Niagara's calibre are
| to be fred ut her at distance approximating
that between her and the Niagara at the time
