House RAIsING.-Probably the largest job
of building raising ever effected was recently
accomplished by Hollingsworth & Coughlin,
in elevating the Robbins iron block in Chi
cage, to the new street grade. The block is
heavily constructed of iron and masonry,
$50 by 80 feet on the ground, and FIVE stories
high, with an estimated weight of 81 900
tons. 1t was raised nearly three feet, with
all its merchandise, and the sidewalk, un-
disturbed. except in elevation. Not crack
in wall or walk was discovered although it
was raised with jackscrews. n means much
inferior to the hydraulic machinery employed
for such purposes i'll this city Not less than
l.5S0 jack.crews we're employed, and the
work was completed in twenty-one days.
The success Of these gentlemen in this effort
has already brought them offers to make
Hip to Paris, France, for the moving of some
heavy blocks Of buildings there, which
European mechanics frankly confess to be
beyond their power. 1t has often been said
that American mechanics only wish to know
what is to be done, and they will find a
means for doing it, but a stronger exemplifi.
cation of this has seldom, if ever, been offer

A VICTIM OF PoLYGAMY.-The Salt Lake
City Vedette, newspaper established by
soldiers in that stronghold of Brigham and
his saints carries on vigorous war
against the peculiar institution of Nor
mondom. In late issue. it relates the fol-
lowing terrible story, illustrative of the fruits
of polygamy:
.'The unfortunate Mormon, Margaret
Crouch, alias Enthusiastically found dead
in back yard of this cty-was the wife of
a Mormon Elder or teacher, who left here
for the cotton country, with a second wife,
two years ago. The outcast Margaret, pre-
vious to her husband discarding her for
another wife. was always considered ire.
praachabe. She was robbed of her property
and children by her pledged protector and
husband. God only knows the maddening
anguish of her many wrongs. Their effects,
however, were drunkenness, then prostitu.
ton, and at last long and miserable DEATH
What made her that that she had become i?
Polygamy. Death was her best friend
Polygamy was her worst enemy.

LYRIC FOR THE TIMES.

The following is parody on some weii-kno"n
limos of Byron 1t contains as much truth as
poetry:
MI .s.sssments came down like the wolf on the
fold, 80
And the notices read, "payable only in gold,'
And the printers were busy by night ana py day,
And the papers "chock' full OF " "assessinen's 70
pay
Like the leaves of the forest their number was
seen,
Like the leaves of the forest their victims were
green;'
For they thought but of dividends; douotins' "nen
told
That to work well silver mine takes one of
goldI2
Dut the Angel of Work spread his wings on the
blast,
And whispered for money to pay" as he passed /;
And the picks of the wcrkmen waxed polished and
bright,
As they deved underground in the deep gloom of
night
And there the tunnels, their openings all
wide
(But somehow or other the "pay rock" didn't come
up their side J
And the workmen went deeper" and drifted
about;"
That they'd strike it rich' there scarcely
doubt.
And there sat the brokers, detected and sad,
Their coats lawful seedy," their hats I" shocking
bad"
Their lunches untasted, their :" smiles all
gone,
Their glasses unified their ceet all ''unblown."
And the widows of Santiam are loud in their wall,
And the sound of their weeping is borne on the
gale,
For the " tens" and the "twenties" of each hidden
hoard
Have melted like at the calls Of the "Board."

SIMPLE MODE OF COMPUTING INTEREST,"
Multiply any given number of dollars by the
number of days interest required. separate
the right hand figure and divide by six, the
result is the true interest for such number of
days at six per cent. This rule is SO simple
and true, according to all business usages,
that every banker. broker. merchant and
clerk should post it up for reference and
use. There being no such thing as a fraction
in it, there is scarcely any liability to error
or mistake. By no arithmetical process can
so desired information be obtained with so
few figures.

The Boston Traveller tells this story: A
keen-witted merchant, who liked his cups,
somewhat surprised his solicitous friends by
yielding to them and signing a temperance
pledge. But, to their horror, they saw no
change in his ways, and reproyed and re-
monstrated, as in duty bound. He defended
his honor. and, to wipe off all stain, produc-
ed the document which he had signed, and
showed that it was invalid, as it was without
an internal revenue stamp.
