CouNT YoUR CHILDREN.-A lady
came recently from Weston, having
eight children, and at starting she
counted them, her husband counted
them, and they all counted each other.
So they went along, counting one
another OCCASIONALLY to make sure all
was right. When they got here one of
the children was asleep, and the moth
er, in re-counting them, missed him, but
counted another twice. She then went
at the head of the column to n hotel, her
husband acting as sort of rear guard,
driving up stragglers, &c. When all the
names were registered, it was found
there was one short. The children
were mustered up and recounted, but
all to no purpose. The mother made a
tremendous outcry-she couldn't have
made more had she lost them all. The
children stood 'aghast, and spent the
evening in counting one another, but
couldn't make more than seven of
themselves. Meantime the train went
to Weston again and returned on Mon
day last, bringing the child back. Great
was the joy thereat. The mother and
father now spend all their spare time
in numbering their Offspring.-Leace'a-

In answerto the democratic abuse of
President Grant for seeking recreation
at the watering places, the Chicago
Tribune says: "When Grants presence
was needed during the eight long years
of the war, and of the perils of recon-
struction, was he ever absent from his
post? Did he ever seek the capital
for promotion, or come to it at all from
the time he entered the army until he
was called there as General-in-C Chief of
all our armies? Did his stars or staff
then figure at the watering-places
Never. The elements of his success
were then military. He moved freely
among all his officers and men from
Sherman, Mcpherson and Sheridan
down to Surgeons, Quartermasters and
privates. He studied the problem in
all its parts and made no mistakes. His
problem now is financial, industrial
and political one. He is moving among
men of business, of industry, and who,
through these resources, have earned
their summer months for leisure. He
sees very great number of them. And
if he learns nothing else he at least
learns them. He does well and wisely.
Before we find fault with it, let us
see what comes from it."

A melancholy little incident is related
of the ex-Empress Charlotte. This I'M
fortunate Princess has been staying for
some time at Spa. The other day she
insisted with such vehemence on play
ing at roulet that it was impossible TO
restrain her. On approaching the table
she deliberately placed gold piece on
the number 10. The Emperor Maximil-
were against her, she won. She smiled
sadly, took up the money and quietly
left the room. On her way out poor
man passed by. She gave him all the
money with the injunction that he was
to spray for him." tits known that the
Empress Charlotte never pronounces
the name of Macmillan.

prevail, use little in their feed once or twice
week, and your poultry will be kept free from
all disease. In severe attacks OfJentimes they
do not eat; it will then be necessary to admin
lister the Powder by means of quill, blowing
the Powder down their throat, or mixing Pow

RADICAL RULE.-Down in Arkansas
they are beginning to realize some of the
horrors of "Radical rule" of which we
read such fearful representations in
Democratic organs. Here is report
ofresults as given by a Helena paper I:
A few months of Radical, reign and
alas for the evidence of gross misrule !
Several hundred free schools in opera
ton, and buildings for several hundred
more in process of construction! What
an imposition upon the people. One
railway rapidly building, and several
actually under contract. Immigration
rapidly settling in, too, and horror of
horrors all of the Radical type.
