Horace Greeley as a worker.

Few persons who know Horace Gree
ley as a politician, a journalist and a
historian, are aware how much of a
reader of miscellaneous books he is.
They think him always engrossed in
political subjects, in the study Of finan-
ces and the tarif:-delver among dry
musty tones, or turner over of dusty
files of the Congressional Globe. He
pays due attention to those things; but
he does not stop there. He reads al
most everything from the newspapers
Of the day to the new novels and poems
and plays, almost as fast as they are is
sued from the press. He is one of the
hardest workers and greatest students
in New York. He is never idle.
Greeley usually writes two or three or
four articles daily for the Tri6ame when
he is not out of town; attends pune
tually to what is probably the largest
private correspondence of any one man
in the Union; reads four or five hours
out of oyery twenty-four; sees from
twenty to FIVE hundred people from
everywhere on all sorts of missions; and
then fancies he wastes a great deal Of
his time. He has as wide aud profound
an acquaintance with general literature
as any member of his profession and
can quote poetry from the best authors
by the hour.-1E J. Paper.

The Washington Republican says the
sum of one million dollars cash, given
toward Southern relief by Mr.. Peabody
is said to be in gold. The same paper
adds:
The question has been frequently ask
ed, How much is Mr.. Peabody worth 7
1t is very natural one in view of the
frequent and munifcent donations he
has made during the last fifteen years
for educational and charitable PURPOSES.
We learn that in 1855 Mr.. Peabody
made will, which demonstrated that
he was then worth about fifty millions
pound sterling. We presume, from the
liberal manner in which he scatters his
charities, that he has not grown any
poorer since. If he had not transacted
any business since that time, the simple
interest on such an enormous sum would
have largely increased his wealth but
the fact is he has ever since been one OF
the largest, most active, and cautions
bankers in the world. Hence his pres
ent wealth must exceed one hundred
millions of pounds sterling. This is a
snug little sum for rainy day,

Tn Justitia Fine and again i,

In Justitia.-Time and again in our Jour-
nalastic career we have been called upon TO
recommend medicinal preparations, and, in
some instances. inducements such as nothing
but the strongest sense of ouf responsibility
could withstand, have been held out 10 ex
tort some kind of NOTICE" a endorsement
of a patent medicine. There are two simple
rules which should guide an editor, and
which, il strictly adhered to, will save much
vexation and wrong-doing. The encourage
meut Of all that is good and worthy, and the
condemnation of all that is bad and unwor-
thy; and these rules should equally apply 10
sources from which we derive patronage as
we'll as to matters of political, scientific
moral or religious nature. 1t is thus the du-
ty, as it should be the pleasure Of the CON-
scientiOus journalist, TO commend to his read
ers whatever of good character may be
brought TO his notice. Especially should he
exercise caution where the health Of indiyid-
uals is concerned-not overlooking the fact,
that temporal life in this world is onl y less
in importance 10 the spiritual life in the
world TO come.
We are lead to these reflections from tie
advertisement in another column, Of "Dr. D.
W. Polands White Pine Compound" a
medicine with the highest MEDICAL authority,
as well as the testimony OF thousands upon
thousadds who have been restored TO health
and vigor through its wonderful agency, en-
dorse as the best patent medicinal article OF
this or any other period. If success may be
taken as a test OF merit. then the White PiIa
Compound. from It's great success, may be
conceded the most meritogiOus article in the
mlrkct.
Sore throats, colds, coughs. pulmonary af-
fectious, and al complaints OF like character,
as well as the different diseases of the tlad-
der aud Kidneys. yield with astonishment
rapidity 10 this MEDICINE.
1t is difficultto TO conceive the JeRus of man
who will allow himself TO suffer, 10, perhaps
years, with these distressing maladies, rather
than expend a dollar for medicine which
thousands assure him they klOD will restore
him to perfect health. But it is not difficult
to estimate the social aud business loss which
single weeks suffering from acute pain
may occasion. There may be men who
would willingly give thousands to make re-
paration for any injury done a fellow, but
who would beg.udge psltry dollar TO ap..
pear their outraged nature in less enlightened
portions of the world, but we doubt if any
such can be found in our rich and fertile
surroundings. This preparation is for sale
by all druggists.

Ia many parts of the country bids seem
to be decreasing from year to year Many
farmers believe that birds are of no service,
but rather an injury to crops. The rising
generation are delighted TO find some mark
at which TO exercise their shooting talent,
and SO the birds are slaughtered out of mere
sport, 1t is question whether the country
is not greatly the loser by this wantonness.
The number of insects hurtlul to vegetation,
which birds destroy during the year, is inn
mense. They do inestimable service in or
chards and gardens in ridding us of bugs
aud vermir, which, If left to breed and ac-
cumulate, would often destroy whole crops.
The amount of damage which birds do is
very small. They may, it is true, pick a
kernel here and there from The grain crops,
but this ought not to be begrudged in such
indefatigable workers, while cleaning the
fields of innumerable enemies TO vegeta-
tion.
While in England, going upon the farms,
we could not but note the difference between
the greater number of birds and kinds Of
game there than are fonnd upon farms in
New York The hedges afford nice and
cozy places for breeding, and during breed
ing seasons they are not cut or trimmed, in
ordcl toprotect the birds. The game Jaws
of England are strict, and of course much Of
this protection grows out of these laws,
which are made 10 afford game for the no.
bility during the shooting season. But
hard as it my appear to exclude those who
till the soil from their share in the sports, it
is question whether the latter do not reap
an advantage in having their crops better
cleared of insccisb by the birds. Many far
mers there assured us that the birds them
selves were benefit rather than an injury,
bat they complain that sometime the hunts
men, during the hunting season, commit de-
predations.
Recently, State laws have been enacted
protecting birds during the breeding season,
but they are scarcely observed and the opin-
ion of farmers generally, we think, is against
birds as in any way useful. 1t is serious
mistake, and one from which we shall be
likely to suffer, if greater care be not taken
in their protection.-Uti Utice Herald

Maxipnifian,

Tie Abte Domsnech, the Grand Alimoner
of The Emperor Maximlian, has recently
published a book in Germany, entitled,
''Two years in Mexico, which contains the
following Interesting anecdote;
On one occasion, the Emperor called to-
gether his cabinet. On the table was a
ilvcy ink-siand. Suddenly it vanished.
where is it p said the Emperor.
No reply.
Gentlemen, said Maximilian, 81 shall
now carefully close the windows and cur
tains of this roqm. In FIVE minutes | shall
open them again, and must find my ink
stand on the table. II it is not there, will
have all of you arrested"
The room was darkened, and when, at the
expiration Of the five minutes, the room be-
came light, the missing article was on the
table.
Atanother time, N ximilian sat at table
which was furnished with silver knives and
forks. When the meal was at end, His Ma
ies'y wrapped up the plate in a napkin, with
his own hands, and handed TO a German
servant, to whom he said in French, Take
care that the Msxicnn servants do not lay
their fingers on these thirgs, or ! shall lose
them"

How TO MAKE ToX OF Coal LAsr.-Some
housekeepers, in the management OF their
fires, act upon the supposition that an addi-
ton of fuel will insure increased combus-
ton, and, consequently, develope additional
warmth. This is an expensive mistake. Ii
is only sinothering and retarding the fire in
thick layer of coal, or, as some do, fill the
fre-box, from a layer of two inches Of ignited
coal to its utmost capacity with fresh fuel. No
more coal should be put upon fire at one time
thau will readily ignite and give of a pure
white blaze-not blue fame, ag that denotes
the presence of unconsumed gases. In clear
ing the CRATES of coal stoves in the morning,
there is always to he found quantity OF un-
burned coal, which has been externally sub
iected to combustion. 1t is covered with
ash, and looks like cinder. 1tis often dumped
into the ash-box. The fact is, that the lump
is only roasted on the outside, not even cook
ed, and is in better condition for igniting
than the green coal. Never waste it. At
tention to thess few hints will save many
dollars in q winter.

IALARMING NBWs FOR THE W EA-
REARS or esCUI6NONS,"

The London Lancet tells a curious and
most alarming story about false bair,. which
we copy for The benefit of the wear9rs of
chigaORS:
'We should be very sorry to say anything
that would Unnecessarily disturb the peace
of hdies IN their compliance with the pres
ent remarkable fashion of wearing chigaons.
The custom may seem very remarkable to
the male half of mankind but this objection
would apply to many of the fashions by
which ladies conisder that they ado them
selves, and so must not count for much. A
more serious objection and one more cal
Gu ated to have weight with English ladies,
has been started according 70 correspond
ent of our own. ly Russian professor, NJ
{, Lindemann. According to his authority,
seventy-siX per cent, of the false hair used
for chignons and similar purposes in Russia
is infested with a parasite to which he has
given the name of gregarine. The gregar-
uious hair, it IS said, is very like other hair
in appearance, but on close inspection little
dark brown knots are seen at the free end Of
the hair, and may even be distinguished by
the naked eye. Those are gregariues.
These parasites have most ignoble ancestry
and habitation, being found in the interior of
the pediculuS edpitS. It is only due TO them
however, that these statements should be
verified by other observers before we give
all the particulars of their natural history.
They are not easily destroyed. They re-
sist the effects Of drying and even Of boiling.
Acids, alkalies, ether and other agents will
kill them; but these would be injurious to the
hair, and so cannot be used. According to
the authority quoted, in the conditions Of a
ballroom the gregaripes revive, grow. and
multiply by dividing into many parts-so
called germ globuies; these fly about the
ballroom in millions, get Inhaled, drop GU
the refreshment-in fact, enter the interior
of people by hundreds of ways, and thus
reach their specific gregarine development
We do not answer for the truth of all this
natural history; ont when the natural history
of the chignons themselves is considered, it
may well be all true. In Russia the hair
for them is supplied by the poorer people,
especially peasant woman of the Mordwines
and the Burlakes near the Volga, who do a
large trade in it. When the Burlake goes
out TO work in the spring, he perhaps puts
clean shirt oD, but he decidedly never takes
it off until he returns home in autumn
Verify, as the Professor argues, here is fine
chance for parasites. We must leave the
Subject with ladies and naturalists. Half
the awful possibilities of The fashion-which
il does not require microscopst to suggest
would deter men. Wecaunot so certainly
reckon upon affecting ladies in a matter Of
fashion. But Of all false thing, one Of the
most obi ctionable is false hair.

OLD sOyxs FOR BREEDING.

Some very successful hog-raisers use only
young sows to breed from, thinking this
course better than to keep them through the
winter A correspondent of the Boston Adj
vertiser gives the following reasons for think
ing the contrary course the better wdy:-'ID
rearing swine and making pork there is 3
universal mistake among American farmers
in breeding from young sows, before their
physical system is developed. Until this
time arrives, most Of the food goes to the
animals growth, therefore she cannot he as
good mixer, or impart the same vigor of
constitution 10 her offspring. We know By
accurate experiment that an old sow's pigs
are worth twenty five per cent. more than a
young sow's. They have more vigor of con-
stitution, and make the largest aud NOSE
profitable hogs. The reason Why our breeds
Of hogs so soon run out and disappear arises
mainly from the erroneous practice OF breed
ing from young sows. Therefore, instead OF
killing their best sows this fall farmers
should keep them over for breeders, and
make pork of their young ones. In Europe,
no farmer of any reputation thinks ofraising
pigs from young mothers, any more than of
keeping dry COW for milk; but old sows are
kept for breeders until they are too old to be
profitable in this respect"

Animals that loH never sweat. The reason
is, the opening of the mouth and protruding

our correspondent has never driven oxen
when the mercury was up among the
