What Is Done With Old Clothes.

A writer in Cassels Magazine, the
New London publication, says:
MANY of the garments are convert
ed o fresh uses. The first object OF
the purchaser is to see if the garment
can be revived aud sold once more as
an article of dress. 1t is therefore
carefully 'clobbored, or mended, sup
piled with fresh gloss, and in this
improved condition is re-expOrteds A
vast quantity of old clothes find their
way across the channel to ireland, and
this accounts for the fact we so often
notice that the Irish peasant, whom in
ordinary dress, is always to be seen IN
a swallow tailed coat of the past gener-
alton. Black clothes, if they can afford
the amount of good cloth, are made
into waistcoats; but even if there Is
only very little that is unworn, it is
purchased to be cut up and made into
caps, for which there is great market
in France. To Holland mainly go all
the cast-off coats OF the soldiers. they
are there converted into under waist
coats, aud used as a protection against
the damp of that country, the Holland
-ers having a preference for red cloth
for this purpose AS it is supposed to be,
and indeed IL, a greater absorber of
heat than any other color. The officers
coats. of course, serve many purposes
before they reach Mynheer. III we go
along Holywell street we see that there
are plenty of them hanging up for sale,
and If we ask the salesman what be
comes of them, we find that they are
sold for Masquerades; but many that
are too much worn for that purpose
will still yield enough sound cloth to
make facings for the civic officials OF
the northern powers. This fact /
learned from man in the trade, but
should fancy that Prussia, at least, now
that she has grown powerful, is above
putting her servants into the cast-ofi
finery of other ia ions"

nnr~.sss on historic Fields.

Three years ago the battles breath
Swept fiery hot across the plain;
And steadily the reaper Death,
With cruel carnage ia his tTalns
Marched through the serred ranks thai
stood
Unwayering, and cut them down;
While field and farm, and hill and wood
Grew dark beneath the battles frOWn.
The cannon tbundered in their wrath,
The musket rang with volleys there
The lond shell cut it's trackless path,
And burst with fury In the air;
And thickly by the trOdden way,
In dyke and field, by level rows
of trampled corn, Deaths harvest lay
Friend close by friend, and foe with foes.
To-day another harvest stands
Where once Death tTOd the bleeding plain,
Ripe for the rsspeF's ready hands pa
That bind in sheaves the golden grain.
Altar the sheltered farm house sleeps,
EMPOWERED in shade; while DER the mound
With pitying growth the Wild vine cTeeps,
Where rifles rang with deadly sound.
Up from her covert starts the quail,
As. CHANGING On her hidden nest,
The farmer lad with noisy hail
Spies quick ~ thought the speckled breast
And low and sweet the echoes call
While from the blue sky over head,
Ia mellow radiance, flooding ALL -
The golden light OF pesce Is shed. ~

The Ah,ssinIan War

The London times has the following
additional information concerning the
war against Abyssinia:
The army will be small, comprising,
perhaps, hardly 10, 900 fighting men-a
contingent easily afforded from the mil
itary establishments of India. Eight
regiments of Pnniab infantry and six of
irregular cavalry may be expected to
compose the main body of the force,
which will be strengthened by two
battalions of Europeans, and as many
batteries of the Royal Artillery. Such
an army would undoubtedly suffice to
overcome all resistance IN the open
field, but that, unfortunately, is not
the resistance To be dreaded. We have.
first OF all, to reach the enemy, and to
do this we must convey the troops from
Bombay to the coast of Abyssinia, and
from the coast into the interior of the
country. The means of transport re-
quired by this army and its followers
are beyond the immediate resources
of India. The Government of Bombay
rs already busily engaged In providing
troop ships and vessels, but a whole
fleet of steamers will be sent from this
vessels are under survey at this mo-
ment, aud these We are told, form but
a fraction of the number required.
Steamers, too, require Goals, aud the
probable demand on this head is al
ready affecting the rates of freight. BE
it remembered that we have TO carry TO
the scene OF action not only soldiers,
but also mules and eamels in almost
equal numbers.
1t seems as if there would be one
camel or other beast of burden to every
fighting man, for 5000 have been be
spoken by our ally the Viceroy of
Egypt, and officers have been dispatch
ed to various places to purchase more.
1t says something for the resources of
Woolwich that We should be able to
furnish 5000 pack saddles and as many
sets of harness on the first demand,
and the manufacture of these and other
requisite articles will be continued, we
may be sure, with the utmost expedi-
tiOn. The object is to place, say, TO-,
900 fighting men, 10000 mules or cam
els, and, we suppose, some 10000 at
tendants and camp followers, with all
their stores and munitions, on the coast
of Abyssinia some time next Novem-
Der. The expedition will be organized
In India, under the command of Sir
Robert Napier, Commander Chief at
Bombay. A quantity OF steam trans
port has been taken up and will start
for Bombay Immediately, so as TO be
there in the course of November; but
the Bombay government have also pro-
vided quantity of transport for them
selves. Officers have also beea dis
patched to various places to purchase
camels and mules. MassOwah will
prob bly, be selected as the base of OPP
erations, bnt this point is not finally
settled. Three steamers have been
provided, which are being fitted up as
hospital ships, and will be furnished
with appropriate stores. Medical OIL
GERS will be appointed to them. The
whole of the arrangements are under
the direction of the India office, in or
der TO secure unity of action; but the
expense will be borne by Imperial
finds

REASONS FOR INsURISG IN THIS COMPANY.
The revisionary Insurance purchased by
the dividends is not for fsited by non-payment
of premiums on the policy.
This Company, it is believed pays a larger
surrender value for its policies than any
other
Its losses are paid promptly on receipt of
satisfactory proofs. without the usual delay
of ninety days or discount therefor.
1t will thus be seen that the Company
aims not to take advantage of the misfortune
of it's members, but to conduct its business
upon the basis of the strictest equity.
Many companies are supposed by the mass
OF people to be based on purely mutual prin-
cipies, while there is clause in their charter
allowing few stockholders to draw out
fine fortune to themselves, from the surplus
earnings of premiums paid by members.
There are but seven Purely Mtaual C0mpa-
naes doing business in the United States, as
per Massachusetts Report, and those seven
are the most successful. The NORTHWESTERN
is one of the seven.

pears annually in the budget for abont
Z, zoe, 900 roubles; but its account with
the treasury is invariably Overdrawn by
l 500, 900 to 2, 600, 900 roubles. making
the total amount derived from the pub
lie revenues about 1000, 900 sterling.
This sum includes about 900, 900 rOubles
annually paid to the Chapter of the
Imperial Orders of KnighthOod for
pensions, &c, and a sum of nearly
2, 900, 600 of roubles for the support of

ent on the minister of the imperial
household required, in 1866, sum of
$50. 627 roubles.

Successful Recovery OF $4,000 Worth
of SI0Eea ROnas and Rank Rittg
IFrom the New York Times. Sent ia


from the New York Times, Sept 14.1
An extensive and adroit robbery of
southern railroad bonds and bank notes
was effected in Baltimore on the Both
ut, when tin eash-box, containing
$50, OOO worth of these securities, was
carried from the vault of the Franklin
Bank by three sneak thieves, and which
was the property of Messrs. McCleish,
Reeves & Co., bankers, in Exchange
Place, Baltimore. As is usual in sucb
cases, the robbery was the work of ex
perienced and adroit thieves. On the
day mentioned three unknown men en-
tered the Bank, when one of them
walked toward the rear end of the
counter, and, picking up a newspaper.
opened it to its full extent, and was APP
parently reading, while his companions
passed on toward the open vault, pick
ed up the box and walked out of the
Dullding-the first man still pretending
to read the paper; but when, few
seconds after, one of the clerks stepped
mp to him and asked what he wanted,
he replied that he did not want any
thing, folded the paper, put it in his
pocket and walked out after his confed-
crates.
On the robbery being discovered by
the bank officials they intrusted the
case to Messrs. Smith, Pierson i West,
independent detectives in Baltimore,
who made a diligent search for the
thieves and the box, which contained
S27, 900 in notes of southern banks, aud
81, 500 of southern railroad bonds
These endeaVOrs proved so far success
ful that they discovered the fact that
50, 600 worth of the bonds had been
sold to broker in Baltimore, who had
purchased them In good faith. Besides
this, the detectives gained clue to the
Id entity of an individual who had been
trying to sell some of the securities In
Philadelphia, III which effort he had
proved unsuccessful, so had gone on to
New York, ordering the bonds and Sc
curities to be forwarded to him by
Adams Express. The detective came
to this city on Friday last, and found
Captain John S. Young absent at New
burg, attending the Hamill AMI Brown
boat race. They followed, and "gave
away" the case TO him. On Saturday
night, tue captain and the Baltimore
ans arrived in the city, and commenced
operations. They ascertained that a
man answering the description of their
quarry had taken lodgings at Court-
landt street hotel, remaining there only
one day. In this dilemma the officers
set a watch upon all of the express
offices, and were rewarded on Tuesday
last by the arrival of a package by
Adams Express containing the missing
funds, which were given into the pos
session of the Baltimore officers, who
have since returned the fame to the
owners. As yet no further clue has
been obtained to the identity or where
abOuts of the thieves thus so neatly

THE PURCHASE OF A NAVAL STATION
IN THE WFsF INDIES. The government
has received information from the
American legation at Madrid to the
effect that the negotiations IN progress
with the Spanish government for the
purchase by the United States of the
island of SANTANA, one of the Bahama
group, for a naval station, have come TO
an end. Assistant Secretary Seward
visited the island last winter, and APP
proved of the site, whereupon the state
department at once entered upon cor
IespOndence for its purchase. When
MIR. Bancroft was appointed to Berlin
last spring, he was also requested to go
10y the way of Madrid, and, in connec-
ton with Minister Hale, to enter on the
negotiations for the purchase of the
island. The Spanish government, after
holding the matter under Amusement
for some time, has declined to entertain
proposition for the sale of the island.
The efforts of the government to Sc
cure naval station from the republic
of st. Domingo have also failed, and
therefore precludes the purchase at all
of any site for q naval station In the
West Indies.

Strange Adventure on the Part of a

From the Detroit Advertiser, Sept 2
A few days since woman went to
East Saginaw, in this state, and issued
handbills announcing that Mile. Flea
nora Shoudon would walk q rope
stretched across Genesee street, at six
o'clock p. M, Tuesday. A great crowd
assembled, but for some reason she
failed TO walk, postponing it until the
next day. At the appointed hour about
1000 people assembled to witness the
performance. The lady appeared IN a
robe de ballet, but seemed very timid,
and after IA while, seeing her awkward
ness, the authorities interposed and
stopped the performance. On Thurs
day an old gentleman came to town m
a state of great excitement, lnqulring
for a missing daughter who answered
the description of the rope walker. and
stated she had left home suddenly "A
few days previous, and that her people
feared foul play. The father, who is
we'll known to parties in this city, is a
wealthy business man residingin Flint.
The young lady is twenty-four years
old, is handsome, and engaged to be
married TO a wealthy eastern man soon,
and moves in the best circles of society.
She had never walked n rope before,
and what induced her 10 undertake
such rash adventure Is beyond con
ception. She was induced to go home
by party who was acquainted with
her father and family and started
