rants or stewed raisins have been added,
it will serve for . desert, trimmed with
sweetenedmilk or cream.

TO DE CONTINUED.

A LITTLE BOYS REBUKE.-There was
once a very old man who lived in the
house with his son. The old man was
deat-his eyes were dim, and his legs
weak and thin. When he was at the table
he could hardly hold his spoon, 50 much
did his hand shake, and at times he would
spill his soup on the table. All this vexed
the sons wife, and they made the old man
SIT in the corner behind the stove. There
ne ate bis food from an earthenware dish,
and he had not always too much to eat, as
you may guess.
Well, one day his trembling hands could
not hold the dish, it fell to the floor and
broke. At this his son and sons wife
were so vexed that they spoke harshly to
the poor old man. Then they brought him
bowl made of wood, out of which be had
to eat bis food. Not long after his grand
son, boy about seven years of age, was
seen at work following out log Of wood.
his parents could net guess what he was
trying to do. The little boy said nothing
to any one, but kept at his work on the log,
and looked very grave as if he had some
great work on hand.
What are you doing there r. asked
the father
They little boy did not want to tell. Then
his mother asked:
What are you doing there, my son ?"
Oh!' said be, "Pm only making q
trough such as our pigs eat out Of
But what are making it for ?"
am making it, said he, " for you and
father to eat out Of when grow up"
The parents looked at each other and
burst into tears. From that time forth they
treated the old man well. He had the best
place at the table, nice dish. and plenty
! of food.

How Valleys are Formed.

A str cam OF molten lava, Of more or less
extent, its depth somtimes being as great as
$50 feet, acquires, as it flows along and
comes in contact with the cold atmosphere,
a hardened crust-at first so soft that, while
it bears persons weight, it takes and re-
tains the imprint of his foot, it rapidly be

ness, having sufficient strength to sustain
itself, even after the lava within has been
exhausted and drained out, leaving a pipe
or conduit exceedingly rough and uneven il
its inner surface, which is coverd with sharI
spikes or horns. These lava walls changt
into rock, and are covered by alluvial de
posits, upon which springs up vegetation,
concealing the cave, except where the she'll
in some places thinner than others, ha:
broken through, giving entrance to an un-
derground passage from 80 to 100 feet in
diameter, and extending perhaps a mile
and half in line, which may traced BY
occasional cracks and apertures. As these
caves are broken up by subsequent earth
quakes or convulsions, they form beginnings
Of valleys, and prepare the way for rivers
which shall finish the work which they have
begun.

THE ONE THING NEEDRUL.

The only proper course for Congress to
pursue is to repeal the N National Bank act,
call in irredeemable national bank currency,
issue greenbacks and cancel the bonds to
secure circulation. Here $4,000, 900 per
annum can be saved TO the taxpayers by one
simple act.

The Up. and Downs Of a Day.

The Ups ana DoN
NEW YoRK. Aug. 24-The gold room
presented scene of animation and activ-
ity throughout the day, with only an occa-
sional luil. The opening market started
off brilliantly, and rapidly advanced from
116a to 1l7a, and from 1i74 TO 1I73a.
Leading brokers who are the accredited
agents of the supposed pool, were nominal
Iy fierce buyers, but actually large sellers
through other parties. They succeeded In
selling a very large amount close on to the
highest figures, and then left the market
to itself This caused reaction to 1171,
at which point the market refused to yield
further.
Here was a crisis for the bulls, who had
no idea of bidding up the price and buying
back gold at higher prices. Something
had to be done TO shake out the weak bulls
and increase the shortinterest, preparatory
to another rise. LEEE4I
The room was suddenly treated to food
of Washington kilograms to the effect that
the treasury had accepted all bids for gold
to-day. amounting to $2,O00,00o. This
threw the room into spasm, and for a
short time there was an enormous pressure
to sell, which caused a decline to 116s.
These kilograms we're officially denied af-
terward, when the market started ON an
upward turn till 117S was touched.
Operations were on an enormous scale
and at the last rise in the afternoon, one
brokers' firm alone bought from four to
five million dollars gold. The remarkable
feature of the day was that there was per-
feet indifference in regard to the war news
from Europe. Bond quotation from Lon
don at the close was, price steady at
117S@I175.

TIE ESUCCESSIONTOTHEFRENCH
THRONE

The health of the young Prince In
perial, son of Louis Napoleon, who is now
eleven years old, is said to be delicate.
1t is singular fact that not for one hun
dred and sixty years has any monarch in
France been succeeded on the throne by
his son. Thus, Louis XIV. was the
grandson of Louis Kill; Louis XIV. was
the grandson of Louis XIV; Louis XVI.
was the grandson of Louis XIV; Louis
XVIII. wassthe brother of Louis XVI;
Louis XVII. dying in childhood, and
never came to the throne. The successor
of Louis XVIII. was his brother, Charles
X. His successor was his cousin, Louis
Philippe. Napoleon L was succeeded,
not by his son, Napoleon IL, but by
his nephew, Napoleon Ill. The heif of
Louis Philippe, the Duke of Orleans,
was killed by being thrown out of his
carriage. The heir and son of Charles
x, the Duke of Berri, was assassinated
while assisting his wife into carriage at
the-Psris Opera House. The present
heir to the Bourbons is the Count de
Bordeaux, who was born after the assas-
sination of his father, the Duke of Berri.
There has thus been a strange fatality
with heirs apparent to the French throne,
and if the little Prince Imperial succeeds
his father he will have a rare piece of
good fortune. E.

captured one and one half barrels of whis-

and James Elinger, who were found in the

fer Hose Company, and a notorious char
acter. The prisoners were taken to the
Second District station houee. From there

an attempt was made to rescue the pris.

The mob consisted of roughs and the ad-
herents of the Scheffier hose company.
The officers returned and reported to the
United States Marshal, E III Gregory, who
sent to the navy yard for a guard of ma
rines, and the prisoners we're safely brought
up for hearing, which is now going on.
During the melee at the station-house,
McGinnis escaped. William Jacobs and
James Ellinger have been arrested on a
charge of being the leaders of the mob.
They are hard characters William was
tried for killing boy some years ago, and
has served term of imprisonment. Jim
was tried for shooting man named Stiles,
on Christmas eve, two years ago. The
prisoners we're all held to answer.

HLLsBoRo, Aug. PA printed circular
letter to Hon. John A. Smith, Republican
candidate for Congress in the Sixth Ohio
district, is being extensively circulated and
signed by the dissatisfied Republicans of
the district. The letter recites the charges
that his nomination by the Hillsboro con-
vention was brought about by oombina-
ton of Federal Office holders and national
bankers, who, by unfair means, packed and
controlled the convention, thus defeating
the will of the majority of the voters. The
letter warns Smith that he will be defeated,
and asks him to leave the track in order
that another convention may be called. If
Smith fails to withdraw the malcontents
will place another ticket in the field, and
insure the election of Denver, the Demo
cratic candidate.

We take the following from the Chatts-
nooga Times of the 10Th inst Last night
VIM. Cook, an employe Of the Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad, fell from the
third story of the National Hotel, and
escaped without single broken bone. He
was sitting in the window and went to
sleep there. There was no one else in the
room at the time he fell, but some one
hearing the sound of his fall, ran out and
found him in a senseless condition. He
was carried to his room and Dr. Goodwin
was called in, who soon succeeded in TO
storing him to his right mind. At last ac-
counts he was doing well and thinks that
he will be able to go around this morning.
