CONCERNING WINDOws.-The simplest
eontrivances are often the last5to como into
general use. The London Builder offers a
suggestion about the windows of our hous-
es which is sensible, but which nobody has
thought of applying. 1t is this:
Instead of setting the window frame
some inches within the outer surface OF
the wall (by which the wall is made to
absorb the greater part of the light), set it
flush with the external face, and let the
panes Ofglass be roughly ground on the
outside surface. By this means the Light
from the whole visible sky, and the re-
motest parts of the opposite walls, will be
introduced into the room, reflected from
the innumerabIe small facets made by
grinding the glass surface. The window
will appear as if the sky was directly be-
yond it, the rays of light will radiate from
every point of the luminous surface into
all parts Of the chamber.

Dickens has written a new preface
for the new. edition of his American
Notes. De says;
My readers have opportunities of
Judging for themselves whether the
influences and tendencies which dis
trusted in America had any existence
but in my Imagination. They can
examine for themselves whether there
has been anything in the public career
OF that country since, at home or
abroad, which suggests that these in
tiusncies and tendencies did really
exist. As they find the fact they will
Judge me. If they discern any eviden-
cies Of wrong doing in any direction
l have indicated, they will acknowl-
edge that 1 had reason in what [
wrote. If they discern no such thing,
they will consider me altogether mis-
taken-but not willfulIy. Preiudiced
l am not, and never have been other
wise than in favor Of the United
States. 1 have many friends in Amer
lea; l feel a grateful interest in tho
country; l hope and believe it will
work out problem of the highest
Importance to the human rdce To
represent me as viewing America with
i'll nature, cOldness, animOsity, is mere
ly to do a very foolish thing, which is
always a very easy one"

The DecIine in Wool.

Mr.. John H. Klippart, Secretary OF the
State Board of Agriculture, attributes the
decline of Wool to the following cause.
which seems to afford a remarkable e1-
PLANTATION
To sum up in a few words, the wool
"ICOrLd'' appears to be in this condition, so
far as the United States are concerned -
Extraordinary importations of foreign
woods since 1860 very largely increased,
if not absolutely double, production OF
domestic wool since that period, an aver
age increase of Sc, ,OOO,O of wooden manu-
features since that date, and the
country flooded with army goods. We
have undoubtedly arrived at that stage
where the supply ofthe raw material and
manufactures on hand are largely in ex-
cess of the demand; and as a consequence
prices are deprecated, and will remain
so until the excessive supply is consumed.

The "great reaction" failed to como
farther west than Ohio. The Repub-
iicans have done as well in Indiana
as they did last year. Iowa is fully
up to her average Republican vote
having given $4,000 majority, whil1
in Nebraska and Colorado there have
been handsome Republican gains.
The official returns of Colorado show
large increase in the popular vote,
it being 9,349 against G,996 last year.
The Republican majority is 876, the
vote being, Republican, 5,153; Demo-
crat, 1926, which is gain Of 763
over last year. ColOred men vote in
Nebraska and Colorado under the
act Of Congress, and with the general
acquiescence and sanction of the peO-
pie. The COpperheads undertook to
make row about it in Omaha, but
got sOundIy drubbed at the polls

SAFETY RIDING.-An invention which is
calculated to save many lives that would
otherwise be lost by horses becoming
frightened and running away, is exciting
considerable attention. The article is an
attachment to a carriage, buggy. or other
vehicle, which in a moment releases the
animal or animals from the carriage, in
case of their running away, or any acci-
dent. Like all great and useful inven-
tiOns, it is simple enough when made
known. It is merely an arrangement
which let's free the traces attached to the
bar or shafts of the wagon. If a team ol
horses take fright and run away, and there
is a chance the vehicle will be upset and
dashed 10 pieces, the occupant of the vehi,
Gle has only to pull small handle, con-
veniently placed near the drivers seat,
and the horses may dash on, while the
driver sits perfectly safe in his seat.

Poetry.
ZoU NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY MEN,

I'll never more deceive you,
Or Of happiness bereave you,
But I'll die a maid to grievt you;
You naughty, naughty men!
You may talk of love and signing,
All the while you know you're trying
To deceive, you naughty men
If you want a kiss or favor,
You put on your best behavior,
And your looks of kindness SAVIOR,
You naughty, naughty menl
Of love you set us dreaming,
And when with hope we're teeming,
We find You are but scheming,
You naughty, naughty menl
IT fortune we inherit,
You see in US every merit,
And you call US girls Of spirit,
You naughty, naughty men
But too often matrimony
Is a mere matter Of money
We get bitter, stead Of honey,
From you naughty, naughty men
And when married, how you treat US I,
OF each fond wish defeat us,
And some will even beat us;
You naughty, naughty meh
You take US from our mothers,
From our sisters and our brothers
When you get us, iirt with others;
You naughty, naughty men
But with 81 your faults, some clearly
Love you wicked fellows dearly,
Yes, they uOat upon you really,
Say you're dear, delightful men!
And so we can't distress you,
We only meant to jest you,
And if kind, we'lI say, 0 bless you!
You naughty, dear delightful men

COPPERHEAD JUDGES IN ILL
NoTs.-The Chicago Republican says
complaint is brought against the Cop
perhead courts at Cairo, that they have
been in the habit of sentencing ne
groes to7the State Penitentiary on the
most trivial charges, and that there
are about one hundred negroes in the
Penitentiary from that part of the
State, many of whom are, no doubt,
the victims Of Copperhead prejudice

There are many more books written
than any may can hope to read, and on
this subject London journal makes an
interesting estimate. 1t says that "ii
twelve men were employed for twenty-fOur
hours per day (aIlowing neither for sleep
nor meals) in reading, at the rate of eighth
words per minute, they would barely
keep up with the volumes published in
London alone. In this estimate tracts
and sermons are not Included; but if mag
azines, reviews and newspapers were adj
ded to the task, it would require upwards
of forty men,"

DIRGE FOR A SOLDIER.
Close his eyes, his work is done
What to him is friend or fOeman,
Rise Of moon or bet uf sun,
Hand Of man or kiss Of woman?
As man may, he fought his fight
Proved his truth by his endeayor,
Let him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep forever, and forever.
Fold him in his coUntry's stars;
Roll the drum aud fire the yOllcy

What but death bemocking folly
Leave him to Gods watching eye,
Trust him to the hand that made him
Mortal love weeps idly by
God alone has power to aid him.

THE DISTANCE TO SAN FRANCIsCO-The
distance from Philadelphia to San Francis
co, by way of Chicago, is three thousand
three hundred miles. If train should
run at the rate Oftwenty miles per hour,
including stoppages, which is perhaps the
average rate on railroads in this country,
it would require little less than seven
days to accomplish the distance. As for
grades, the traveller will ascend from the
level of tidewater at Baltimore, or San
Francisco, to the height of eight thousand
two hundred and forty-two feet, or over a
mile and a half at Evans Pass.
