MICHAEL ANGELo.-This celebrated
painter was in many respects model wor-
thy of imitation. His piety and morality
were of the severest type. He cared moth
ing for the ordinary pleasures of life, and
although his art brought him riches, he
never gave himself up to life of ease and
Incidence. His food was of the plainest
his dress, though not negligent, was not
extravagant, and his hours of sleep no lon
ger than nature demanded. He had not
the least faint Of avarice, for while deny
ing himself the usual luxuries ofthe period
to those of his station, he bestowed large
,-benefactions during his life upon his ser
wants, his family and friends. In court
notorious for its yoluptuous excuses, he
preserved a chaste life without wife or
mistress except the art he loved and hon
ored

THE LARGEST CITY IN THE WORLD
A very erroneous idea is INDUCED in by
many people, in relation to the largest
city in the world. Many think and assert
that London is far superior, both in size
and the number of inhabitants. Such is
not the case. Jeddo, the capital of Japan,
is, without any exception, the largest and
and most populous city in the world. 1t
contains the vast number of one million
five hundred thousand dwellings and five
millions of human souls Many of the
streets are twenty-five English miles long.
The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds that
of any other city in the world, and the sea
along the coast is constantly white with
the sails of ships. Their vessels sail to the
southern portion of the Empire, where
they are laden with rice, tea, sea-coal, to-
bacco, silk, cotton, and tropical fruits, all
of which can find ready market in the
North, and then return freighted with corn
salt, isinglass, and various other products
which have market in the south.--Er-
change.

Borax is the name of salt found native
in large quantities in various parts of Eu-
rope and South America. It is also found
dissolved in the waters of certain lakes in
Thibet and Persia, and concerted upon the
borders. This salt is also artificially pre-
pared, and is sometimes met with in the
craters of volcanoes. Its uses are numer-
GUS and important. In metallurgic opera
lions it is used as fux, and it may be
found in every blacksmith's shop, where it
is used as an aid to the process of welding.
1t is also largely used in medicine. Dissol-
we'd in water it is an excellent wash for the
teeth. 1t is one of the best substances that
can be used for cleaning the hair and scalp,
leaving the hair smooth and soft, and the
skin white and clean.
Of the 100000 acres of land in
the State of South Carolina, only one-fourth
is under cultivation. The remainder, some
14,500,00O is mainly in primeval forest
Fully half of the 100000 now under
quasi cultivation is for sale, some of it even
so low as one dollar per acre, and ranging
from three up to twenty dollars. Good farms
have within the year sold as low as three
dollars per acre, and in certain cases below
Il. that. FE'F
The annual total production ofcoal in the
world is about $4,000, 900 tons, of which
Great Britain produces over 100,000,000
tons. The Anglo Saxon race as represent
ted by the United Kingdom, the United
States, and the British colonies, produce rs
per cent. of the worlds coal supply.
The Secretary of the Treasury has de-
cided that he has power to reissue the re-
deemed legal tenders that have not been
cancelled, ifthe amount outstanding is not
over $4OO,0OO,00O. This position is taken
lin view of the present condition of the
money market
The number of children who attend
school in the United States is about 5,000,-
600, and the number of female teachers is
about 100000. The pupils use 20,000,000
books, which cost SIS, 750, 900.
British India is threatened with fam
inc as destructive as the late terrible fam
inc in Orissa. The rice crop has been
destroyed by deluge on the coast and by
drought in the interior.
The number of letters passing through
the British postoffice since the transmits
sion by rail commenced has increased
from 75,000,000s to 705,000,000; and in
this country from 40,000,000 to 100000

NEGLECT OF WoRsHIP.-The great
mass of the people attend no church,
There are $1,000 places of worship in this
country, but not 100 persons on an average,
are found in each on the Sabpath. Of our
population of 40,000,000, not more than
100000 attend any place of worship.
Thirty-fve million of our people have no
church accommodations, or do not improve
them. These are startling facts.

UNION OF LAKES HURON AND ONTARIO

UNION OF LAKES HURON AND ONTARIO.
1T is stated the project of uniting Lake
Huron and Lake Ontario bids fair to be a
reality. Able engineers have decided that
the work is feasible, and that it will not
cost more than $4O,00O,000. 1t was pro-
posed to raise $20,0O000O of this in the
United States, and $20,0OO,0OO in England.
These loans were to be secured by grant
of 100000 acres of land by the Cana
dian government. Mr.. Frederick Capheol
of Toronto, has undertaken the financial
management of the enterprise. Some time
ago he succeeded in obtaining guarantees
from American capitalists that they would
furnish $20,000,000 if the balance should
be subscribed in Europe and the land Sc
cured. For several months he has been in
England, and it is said that his prospects
of success in securing the other $20,OO0,00O
are very satisfactory. When this is secur-
ed it will only be necessary to obtain the
land grant before work can be commenced.

THE FIRST NEGRo CoNeREssMAN.-
When the negro who has just been declared
elected 20 Congress for the unexpircd term
of the late Colonel Mann, formerly Of the
federal army and subsequently democratic
Representative of the Second district of
louisiana, shall present himself at the Capt.
toll an interesting, important and somewhat
complicated question will arise as to his
eligibility. This depends, of course, upon
the date of his tile to citizenship. Accor-
ding to the bred Scott decision all rights
including that to citizenship, were denied
to the negro. And it is only very recently
that the Civil Rights bill and the famous
fourteenth amendment have superseded
the bred Scott decision. Now according
to the constitution no one is eligible as q
Representative to Congress unless he has
been for seven years citizen and no one
is eligible as Senator unless he has been
for nine years citizen. When, therefore,
the first negro claimant for a seat in the
House of Representatives shall offer his
credentials it must be decided at what
date the citizenship of the negro in the
United States must be fixed.-N. Y. Herald.

is what is required; but Nmcng the multiplicity

We all know that most cathariIcs, aner thor.

ease with Rohack's Pills. They act mildly,
yet most effectively, on the liver, causing that

party in the following terms:
But with all his popularity
and merit we cannot close our
eyes to the fact that a dead-Set
and determined hostility exists
on the partof the old political
rings-the bald and played out
hunkers and The meddlinp,
waspish fire eaters-to defeat,
if possible, the nomination OF
Judge Chase by the Democrats
on the Fourth of July. Wheth-
er these rings are powerful
enough TO defy the undoubted
will of the people remains to
be seen. Time will tell. We
shall soon know whether the
Democrats, clinging to the rot
ten planks of their shivered
platforms, will sink to the bot
tom of the ocean of political
oblivion, or whether, by nomi-
mating Chase and adopting the
live, fresh, progressive issues
Of the day, they will elect to
be borne along, as if upon an
Irresistible food, to political
position and power. Success
with Chase; defeat and death
without him. There you are.
