The cotton wren discharged from The ship in
Liverpool was in better order than the rope bound

the war. Thousands Of bales of cotton have been
lost by the rotting and breaking OF rope, which

used. In addition TO this. it can be furnished
nearly fifty per cent. cheaper than rope. The de-

A Clerical Joke.

A short time since, popular clergy
man in one of our neighboring towns
had an exchange with pastor Of q
church some dozen miles away, and
feeling the need of exercise, started on
Saturday to walk to his appointment.
He was well on his way at noon, and
ufeeling an unusually good appetite, he
halted at wayside farm house, and
asked the good lady if she would give
him dinner. She very prudently re-
ferred him to her husband, who was Dig
pinr potatoes in q field near py, ana In
applying to him the clergyman said ne
was willing to work to pay for his din
ner, apd picking up hoe did his row
IN good style till they were summoned
to the house. The farmer had observed
that the stranger could handle a hoe,
and being short of help he suggested,
after dinner, that he would be glad to
hire him to help complete the harvest.
The clergyman said he did not know as
he could leave other engagements, but
if no one else was engaged, the farmer
might write to him in a week or so, and
he should have an answer. The farmer
agreed, and asked for his addres, and
was told to direct to Rev. Mr.. -, OF
-. The astonisbment of the worthy
couple can be imagined, and their apol-
ogies were more profuse than coherent
The clergyman declared no apology was
necessary, and after inviting his new
friends to attend church and hear him
preach next day, he went on his way.

- 1.,vrNrIoN BY A WORK

GCuRrous INVENTION BY Work
,SxeAsAAt the Industrial Exhibition
in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, Lon
don, there Is shown an ingenious inven-
tion by which the action of shower OF
rain is made to close an open window.
when opened, stretches two India. rub
Der springs. These springs arepreyens
ed from drawing the window down by
means of o curved rod fixed oatside-the
sash, the end of which works up and
down in a tubular Abell-mouthed stand
on the window sill. CAlittle piece hoi
loaf sugar is inserted into the mouth OF
the stand, and the end of the rod 4. ise
down gently upon it. The sugar pre-
vents the rod descending into the tube,
and, of course keeps the window sasn
up. AS soon as it begins to rain, the
bell-mouth of the tube collects the drops,
the sugar is melted, and no further ob.
stacle being presented to the action o.
the India rubber springs, the sash Is let
down. .a..r IT

M.PEABopY's MEANs.--Ac correspondent
of the National Intelligencer, in a short
sketch of this gentleman's life, says:
The amount of Mr.. Peabody's means Is
matter of conjecture. In 1851 he was
numbered among the milionaires Of
London, and during the next ten years
his business largely increased. Assn
ming the value Of his property at that
time to have been FL, O00, 900, he ought
in 1860 to have been worth f3,000;ooO.
During the last three years he has en-
lowed charities to the amount of foO0,-
600, and he had previously given about
fl5O, OO0-in all close upon f5,0oO, OU.
It is safe to say that he cannot now be
worth more than 81, 100000.

Youth Must Have Recreation.

One reason why the moral reformers
of Wheeling do not make more rapid
progress in their good work, is because
they will not accept human nature as
it is; they too often set up an ideal
standard by which they measure every
human being; give impracticable adj
vice, and lay down impossible rules for
their guidance. To tell young men to
forego amusements, to shut themselves
up in the solitude of cherries bed
room, and devote themselves to study,
after hard days work at the desk or
counter, is simply absurd. Young men
want recreation, and will have it. The
boarding house is a mere feeding and
sleeping place, and rarely presents any
attractions to keep the boarders i'll OF
an evening. The problem is to meet
this desire for recreation and turn it to
the best account; to lure young men
from the billiard saloon, by providing
some agreeable means OF entertainment,
innocent, if not instructive. We ind
many young men in the library and
reading rooms of an evening, improving
their minds, and few who devote
their leisure hours to cultivating their
physique in the gymnasium. But the
great majority of young men have no
inclination to exert themselves i'll their
spare hours to improve either mind or
body; they want simply something to
entertain them. The question is, can
they be provided with such an enter
tainment under moral and religious
auspices, OF must they be always COM
PEELED to seek the qualification of their
tastes and inclinatiOns in places where
had influences surround them?

Old Maids.

We are inclined to think that many
of the satirical assertions cast upon old
maids, tell more of their credit than is
generally imagined. Is n woman re-
markably neat in her person' She will
certainly be an old maid. Is she partic-
ularly reserved towards the other sex!
She has all the squeamishness of an old
maid. Is she frugal in her expenses and
exact in her domestic concerns? She is
cnt ont for an old maid. In short, We
have always found neatness, modesty,
economy and humanity are the never
failing characteristics of that terrible
creature, an cold maid" :.

"Only sixteen Years.,

Were we certain that death would
overtake us in just sixteen years, we
would think that space of time but a
short lifetime; were we certain that in
just sixteen years we were to he mar
ried and made happy, we would think
the event was long way off in the
hidden future. But what would be our
thoughts if we were condemned and
sentenced to imprisonment III a State
penitentiary for sixteen years Sixteen
years in prison, what sad thought,
One would scarcely think that man
could look on such picture with any
thing but horror. Yesterday afternoon
when the verdict was rendered in the
rape case, and the prisoner was sent to
the penitentiary for sixteen years, Patsy
Bannon with o wicked smile remarked,
"Only sixteen years" A person who
could joke so lightly upon such grave
matter must be greatly depraved and
lost to his sense of manhood, and all
will agree he received no more than he
deserved.

A New Game.


Anew game of chance has just been
introduced called "fiy loo" This is less
Objectionable than most games of
chance, in this, that there is no chance
of cheating. Lest some of our readers
may not understand the game and Won
der what it is, We will state for their
benefit, that it is very simple and easily
learned. 1t may be played by any rea-
sonable number of persons. The play
erS names are written near together,
and small lump of sugar laid on each.
Then commences the eager excitement
of waiting for fly to light, and when
he does so, the name of the player I'M
der the sugar has to treat all around.
It may not be very high toned game.

A COUPLE representing themselves to
he newly married, and in bridal costume,
stopped at one of the New Lisbon hotels
during the Fair, to spend a few days on
their wedding tour. The groom bor-
rowed seventeen dollars from an accom-
modating gentleman aud disappeared.
The deserted bride-without money,
without friends, victim of deception
wept tears which drew handsome
contribution out of the pockets of the
boarders. She then disappeared. 1t is
believed now that it was concerted
trick between the two, who have re-
joined each other, and are ready to re-
ceive any amount again in the way of
loan or contribution form confidiug
landlords and generous guests.

DesecratiOu.

The habit of desecrating the cities OF
the dead is one of the most eXecrable
which can be INDUCED in, and whenever
the offenders are canght, the punish
ment should be two-fold. Notwith-
standing the strict regulations adopted
by the Directors of Mount Woods and
other cemeteries in our city, struggling
yagabonds are continually rowing
through the grounds, defacing tomb
stones, pulling flowers, etc. Such out
rageous and reprehensible conduct is
almost enough to arouse the departed
spirits, and make their spectres haunt
the outlaws.

THE DANGER OF PRACTICAL JOINING
The other morning the family of DR..
Beechcroft, of Tottenham, was plunged
into the deepest affection by the fol-
lowing occurrence: The son, lad of
about twelve years, got up at an early
hour, and in a joke gave an alarm of
fire. The inmates of the house rushed
out of their apartments in the greatest
haste, and Mr. Beechcroft's eldest
daughter, about twenty-six years of age,
got out upon the leads over some of the
lower apartments. While standing on
the coping of the wall, she tainted, and
fell into paved yard, from height of
twenty-seven feet. Her leg was broken,
besides sustaining other injuries.
