AMERICAN vs. ENGLISH LosGEvIrY.-En- glish tras ,lers in the United States have often deplored the degeneracy of the Anglo Saxon stock on this side of the Atlantic The body, they have said, looses its stoutness, the tea tnres grow narrow and pinched, and the vi- tality of the whole system is diminished. English editors and political economists have made many serious sermon from this text, and have argued that in two or three centu- ries the Anglo-Saxon race in this country may become extinct
 Eminent physicians among us have accept cd the truth of this statement Oliver Wen- dell Holmes among others, and have attrib- uted the change chiefly to climatic influences, but in part also to social habits. It might have been well, before investigating the cause, to settle the facts. There can be lit- tie doubt of wide departure in form and feature from the English type, but in the matter of health and longevity the sdyan- tags is on our side. So, at least, statistics prove and there is no appeal from their au- thority,
 SlThs records of life insurance companies furnish ample and satisfactory data for com. parlson. The experience of 20 of the most prominent English and Scotch companies compared with The combined American ex. Perience, is a- follows: Starting with 10000 lives at age 10, the American loss the frs, year IS I5; the English, 76. At age 20 American loss is 72; English, 5s. At sge 40 American loss is I7; English, sl. At age 60 american 'oss h i55; English, ls4 At age ~Amer'ean loss l. 20s; English, 1s6, E., Y

THE LAST ACT OF THE "DnMosD WE'D DISG."-Who does not remember the great diamond wedding which took place some ten years ago in New York, in which Senor oviedo, a wealthy Cuban, and the beautiful Miss Bartlett were the principals2 Poets sang of the charms of the bride and the cost Illness of her trousseau, with its miraculous faces, silks and diamonds. The gorgeous we'd ding ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral, the gossip about the affair, the display of the brides presents and trousseau, and the fabu- lous wealth of the dark, ill4fayored, little, middie-aged Cuban, furnished matter for the scribbliSg of an army of exulSng "Jenkinses," |" thisting for further particulars" The de- parture of the moody bridegroom and his lovely bride (who bore, by the way, re- msrkable resemblance to the Empress of France) to the palatial mansion on one of the Cuban estates left all New York in despair. There, secluded and almost immured from all eyes, like an Eastern sultana, surrounded by every luxury wealth could give, this fair young American has spent ten years of her life with an irrascible, jealous and fond Spaniard, who has at last been civil enough to die and leave his still beautiful young wid- ow to mourn him in unexceptionable black velvet, rare lace and solitaires,

CHEAP PLEAsuRRs.- Did you ever study the cheapness of some pleasures asks some writer. Do you know how little it takes to make multitude happy7 Such trihes as A penny, word CT a smile do the work. There are two or three boys passing along-give them each eAestnat, snd hos smiling they look; they win not be cross for some time. A poor widow lives in the neighborhood, who Is the mother of half dozen children. Send them halfa peck of sweet apples, and they will all be happy. A child has lost his ar row--the world to him-and he mourns sad ly; help him to find 1t or make another, and how quickly will the sunshine come over the sober face! A boy has as much as he can do to pile up a load Of wood; assist him few moments, or speak pleasant word to him, and he forgets his toil, and works away with out minding 1t. Your apprentice has broken a mug, or cut the vest too large; or slightly injured piece of work Say "you scoun- drel," and he feels miserable; but remark, II am sorry" and he will try to do better You employ a man, pay him cheerfully, and speak . pleasant word to him, and he leaves your house with a contented heart, to light up his own hearth with smiles and eladness. As you pass along the street, you meet fa- miliar face; say "good morning. as though you felt happy, and it will work admirably in the heart of your neighbor. Pleasure is cheap. Who will not bestow it liberally7 If there are smiles, sunshine and flowers about us, let us not grasp them with a miser's fist, and lock them up in our hearts, No; rather let us take them and scatter them about us, in the cot of the widow, among the group of children, in the crowded mart, where men of business congregate, in our families and every. where. We can make the wretched happy, the discontented cheerful, the afflicted re- signed, at an exceedingly cheap rate. Who will refuse to do it7

Novs, SCENE IN THE SENATE OHAmbER-

NoyEL SCENE IN TIE SENATE OHAmBER- TIE NEGRO SENATOR FROM MlssissIPPI.- Reyels, the Mississippi Senator, the first rep resentatiye of his race and color chosen to fill seat in the upper branch of the National Legislature, made his appearance again to- day on the floor of the Senate. kevels was dressed in black suit of fine cloth, coat very long and clerical like, and pants and vest oi corresponding pfoportions He wore dark gloves, also, and carried a muatto-colored stick. The distinguished darky made quite a sensation. The moment he cane into the Senate Chamber and took his seat on one of the luxurious lounges, several Senators huf- ried over to him, shook him by the hand warmly and welcomed him to his new field of labor. Charles Sumner was among the first Go offer, in very hearty style, smiling all over, and saying n quantity of very pretty things, which the colored Senator heard with genuine pleasure. It was spectacle worth looking at to see Sumner and Revels thus illustrating the idea of political and social equality. Thayer. Chandler, Howard, Cam eron, Warner, Spencer, Drake, Lewis, Howe and other Senators paid their respects Cam eron had quite talk with Revels. Spencer, of Alabama, sat down with Revels, and, while making his congratulations, took full survey of the ladies in the gallery, who looked down upon the scene, some with pleas ure and others with astonishmept and hor- TOT. Spencer, you must know, is great favorite with the ladies. An effort was made ! to get fiery little Garret Davis to allow him self to be led into the presence of Revels for introduction, but the live Kentuckian could not see it neither could the fascinating Me Creery, colleague of Davis, who cings to the old-time prejudices with true cDte betlum te nacity. Reyels, during all this time, con ducted himself in a manner that left no room for adverse criticism. He was dignified, DO lite, courteous and not near so proud as Sum ner himself, whose humility is generally re cognzed. Washington Letter.

The Three Great Evils of the National
 Capital

Wellington swsrms with ,beggar boys. Knowing the widespread destitution now prevailing, one cannot help sympathizlng with the poor little fellows. They never ask for more than q cent, and they always tell you they had nothing to eat al day. Some times this is true, sometimes false. But take them to the bakery, and in eight cases out of ten they will bolt an amazing quantity Of bread Most of them are little darkies, and they starve or stuf as the ease may be, most philosophically. They are a great nuisance, these begging brsts, and yet, poor little things, it is not their fault. Another nuis- ance Of the Capitol, at the White House, or on the avenue which connects the two, and in all the leading hotels, is the swarm of lob byists, the log rollers, the wire-workers, the Third House, the ton-holers-variously SO termed--which one meets at every turn. Still another-indigenous to that part of the capital termed "The Island n--in the shape of hogs and dogs; and appropos of this let me condense for you story from one Of our daiiies Once upon time, a seventh -arder died. and went Co Paradise, but found his en- trance barred by black mark against his name. "Profane swearing" was the charge, St. Peter said "Well, it's no use trying to rub 1t out,n said the Island man. Fl did cuss some at them internal hogs and dogs in our ward. They re enough to make saint swesT.n Said St- Peter: You are from Washington, then ?" Yes" "Well, then" said the ssinted key-keeper, "you may pass right in. While tend this gate nobody ain't agoing to be kept out for swearing at those hogs and dogs. They are the avfullest on earth Why, their squealing and bowling reaches wsy up here, and they say that mo- body can't get wink of sleep What on earth are your officials about2 You just let any of them try to poke their noses in here, and see how quick I II slam the door in their faces" And it is generally believed he would do it too.--Saeramsato Union.

A coRREsPoSDEsr of the Scienti6c AmsTi- can recommends turpentine as a cure for lock- jaw. He says: "Lst any one who has an at tack of lockjaw take small quantity of tur- pentine, warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter where the wound is or of what na- ture it is, and relief will follow in less than one minute. Nothing better can be applied to severe cut or bruise than cold turpen- ly. Turpentine is also sovereign remedy for croup. Saturate piece of flannel with it, and place the flannel on the throat and chest, and in very severe cases three to five drops on lump of sugar may be taken in- wardly. Every family should have bottle on hand" The remedy is simple and can be easily tested. In sll serious cases an sppli- cation should be made under medical advice.

More Fine Apples, etc.

Nj. ]. p. Lepley, Of Lordstown, has
added to our pomological department
some Of the finest apples we have seen.
They number nine, and are OF the gloria

quarter pounds four others weigh four
pounds nine ounces the remaining four,
four pounds six ounces. Gross weight,
ten pounds three ounces.
In addition to the above, Mr.. a. y.
Allen, Of Leavittsburgh, has also con-
tributed a collection OF apples, consist
ing Of fine specimens Of thirteen vari-
cites Of superior grated fruit, all raised
in his orchard.
Mr.. James NJ. swsger, Of Bazetta,
sends US an enormous pumpkin, weigh
ing seventy-three pounds. This is gen.
orally considered "some pumpkins
and is capable Of furnishing the "raw
material" for enough pumpkin pies for
the Thanksgiving dinners Of a whole
township.
John Hoyt says they have a couple OF
apples-gloria mundi variety-at their
drug store, a little ahead Of ours. One
Of them weighs t~wenty-one ounces, and
the other twenty and three quarter
Ounces. That being the case, he saucily

R. "Vietim.D

A writer; who signed himself "a Vic
TIM" sent an article for publication in
the CHRONICLE, a few weeks since, in
which he made complaint OF having been
lily treated by the way things were man
aged, on one or more occasions, by the
railroad company's agents, here or some
where else. We are assured by one
whose position should enable him to
speak correctly, that the Victims
charges are far-fetched and groundless,
especially as to the course the road has
generally pursued toward the public.
The agent here states, in reply to the
assertion that proper facilities had been
denied the Good Templar Society in the
matter Of excursion tickets, that the
officials OF that order had never made an
application OF request but once, and then
they were supplied with excursion tick
cts TO Baconsburg. Concerning the Ma
sonic Convention at Akron, which was
June p, and not August, as Victim"
the upper depot, in Warren, and the
public informed OF the fact two weeks
in advance in the papers Of the town.
In regard 10 the ". o. Fair, no excursion
tickets were furnished to the agent at the
A. & G. W. station, but all persons n
quiring for them at that Office were in
formed that they could purchase them at
the Mahoning depot, or they could pur-
chase tickets to Leavittsburgh and get
them exchanged from there. In this
particular instance we are credibly
informed that 'FVictim" was the vic
tim OF his W carelessness. He did
not ask for an excursion ticket, but
simply for a ticket to Cleveland, and as
be was = stranger to the person selling
tickets, he was furnished with a ticket to
Cleveland, as requested.
It may be proper to note a fact here in
regard to excursion tickets. Under the
management Of VIM. R. Barr, Esq, the
General Ticket Agent of the Erie Rail-
way, a much larger number Of half fare
and excursion tickets and train facilities
been furnished the public than ever
before, and it is doubtless the aim Of the
proper officials to promote, by acts Of
consideration and courtesy, the passen-
ger business of the road. Hence il there
is at any time, cause of complaint in this
department, we do not think it is occa-
stoned by any intentional disregard Of
the public welfare.
We believe that as a general rule rail
road conductors, agents and managers
desire to be accommodating, and pro-
mote as far as they can the convenience
and comfort of the travelling public.
That they a always succeed in meeting
the exigencies Of every individual case,
is not possible. We certainly have new
observed any lack Of courteous atten-
ton N the part OF the gentlemen now
acting as agents Of the railroads at War
rem, toward any person, and would not
Intentionally give publicity to any seri-
BUS charges fippantly made, affecting

A IaiI Adrentnre.

Two country men anne to Warren,
one day last week, and managed to
imbibe benzine so freely that the Mar
shall deemed it best 20 furnish them
lodging for the night in the jail. Enjoy
ing the retirement of the venerable nuis-
ance is a burglariously inclined young
man named Charley Wilson, late of
the Portage county Jail, but recently
returned to the custody Of Trumbull
county for trial next court. Seeing that
the country men were very " tired and
sleepy, Wilson advised them to close
their oculars in peaceful slumbers, and
while they were dreaming Of rural fe-
licity, he would arm himself with a
d~ilapidsted chair and a six-inch poker,
and keep the rats from committing can't
balism. The good men slept and snored,
and their volunteer sentinel proceeded
to while away the slack intervals be-
tween the combats with the rats, by
making an examination Of the condition
Of the finances Of his companions. He
found them satisfactory, to the amount
OF forty dollars, but thinking it would
be hazardous for the poor fellows to be
turned loose in the morning with so
many stamps, Wilson took it upon him
self to relieve them, and considerably
transferred the cash to his own roomy
pockets. In the morning a scene en-
sued. The men wouldn't believe the
rats had been through their pockets.
They charged Wilson with the job. He
finally admitted he "did it as a joke,
you know The missing money was
returned-the benzinists emerged into
the world soberer, sadder, and it is 10 be
hoped, wiser men.

Ed. CHROSICLE:-The beautiful fall
weather we have had has enabled the
farmers to secure to a great extent Their
fall crops.
Corn is a very fair yield, being without
exception as good in quality as ever be-
fore harvested in the township. Pota-
toes, owing to the moisture OF the
ground, have, in some Few instances,
rotted 50 that the yield will not be as
large as was indicated by the top in the
forepart Of The season.
notwithstanding the heavy rains dur
ing seed time a considerable quantity OF
wheat was sown, and at present would
indicate the foundation for an excellent
crop.
There has Just been three new wells
put down and tested they average about
u barrels Of oil per day. Yet no one
knows how long they NAV continue to
yield. The large well OF A. Troxel,
which was opened in August, still IN
dnues to give oil, at present the rate Of
4 barrels per week; this we'll has yielded
about $4,000 worth of oil.
We notice that our merchants have
brought On a very heavy stock Of fall
and winter goods. Prices very fair.
