BooKs.-More than teeth and horns.
and strength and swlftness, as instru-
ments ofdetense and activity, are books
to man. But man has an inner world
Of thought and sensibility. Books are
guides that discover to us the extent
and glory Of the inner realm. They are
doors OF entrance to its palaces. They
may themselves be the palaces and re.
gions of this better world. 1t is mans
distinction, that when closing his eye
on the world Of the senses, the very
things that in one way he shuts out, in
another he shuts in. lie has them now
for inward beholding and examination;

A subcommittee of school Board,

examining class in primary school.
One of the committee undertook to
sharpen up their wits by propoundlng
the following question: 1T had a
mince pie, and should give two twelfths
to John, two tweltths to Isaac, two
twelfths to Harry, and SHOULD keep
halt of the pie myself, what would there
be left?" There was profound study
among she scholars but finally one
held up his hand as signal that he was
ready to answer. "Well, sir, what

A boy in Waupun, Wisconsin, en-
tered saloon, obtained some nuts and
candy, called for and drank glass OF
beer, and then deliberately walked of
without offering to pay for what he
had had. The saloon-keeper called
him back and demanded his pay. The
boy coolly remarked that, If he was
made to pay, hc would complain of the
saloon keeper for selling liquor to a
minor. The youth was not pressed for
payment, but was allowed to depart
in. peace. '1 i'assi H

William Howard and VIM. H. J. jack

at No. 90 Johnsstreet, aud which business
consisted of promising to furnish coun-
terfeit money for specified sum, were
brought before Justice Bowling to-day on
complaint of Fl. II. Miller, of Waterbury,
Conn.,, who had been swindled out of ten
dollars by them. Justice Bowling sent
the swindlers to Blackwell Island for six

A subsequent search of their premises
revealed letters from apparently respect
able persons in different sections of the

the business of circulating counterfeit

business may be CLEANED from the fact
that in forty seven days the cash receipts

the State of South Carolina alone sent for

There has been a story circulating
around Rome, which did not send you
before, as | did not think it authentic, or
at least it seemed too much of the ''Sut

published, l may as well give it One of
the Romans who, the day of the Ple5is-
cite, was violently opposed to annexation,
got one Of the tickets marked ''No" and
stuck it in his hat before he went to
the voting place. On his way thither he
called in at one of the cafes and ordered
something. The proprietor, either
through policy or for some other cause,
was "for annexation, and when his Gus
toner came in, was engaged in laying a
good coat of paste on one of the Ssh
papers, preparatory to affixing it 10 his
door. He interrupted his employment
and attended to his guest, who, taking a
seat, leisurely enjoyed his meal. After
he had departed, the host missed his
Isl, " but could not imagine what had be-
come of it. The customer, however, before
going far, was assaied with shouts and
laughter, which he was at some loss to
understand. But on taking glance be-
hind, (he wore Jacket he discovered
an enormous 'Sin affixed to his pauta-
looms. He had taken his seat on the card
which the proprietor was FASTING, he
having laid it on chair for that purpose.
When he arrived at the voting place he
was not permitted to vote 'tNO," but
compelled to vote "Si," whereupon he
deliberately turned around and scIaped
his advertisement in the voting urn by
dexterously sliding down the side!

National BOARD of Trade-Pr0ceed-
ings-TranspOrtatiO of Goods i'm
Bond.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. 6.-The Nation
al Board of Trade met at o'clock. After
the preliminary proceedings the Board
took action upon several questions of
public Importance.
The first was in reference to direct i'm
pOrtations to the interior. Resolutions
passed unanimously, asking a modifica-
ton of the Treasury regulations in regard
TO the transportation of imported goods
from sea board to the interior, taking the
ground that it is not necessary that cars
or vessels contain no other goods than
those shipped in bond for immediate
transportation; that common carriers
should not be required to bear the expense
of inspectors, and that some plan should
be Immediately devised whereby merchan-
disc can be transferred from the vessel of
importation 10 the vehicle which is TO
carry it TO its place of destination.
Civil Service Reform.
Resolutions were reported and unani-
mously agreed 10 expressing a conviction
that the question of the condition of the
civil service and of the necessity of its
reform has become one of vital import
nee, and that the early passage of a proper
civil service law is required by the moral
and material interests of the country.
Grain Receipts.
On the subject of railroad receipts for
grain, resolutions were passed requesting
railroads to give to all shippers of grain
bills of lading that would be good for the
quantities called for at the places of de-
livery, and also desiring the Intervention
of the Legislatures of the different States
by the enactment of laws compelling rail-
roads TO weigh and receipt for grain taken
by them, and to deliver the same at the
place Of destination or pay for differ
ence.
The Genital System-Tare ON Cotton.
In reference to the GENITAL system a
memorial TO Congress was adopted asking
that body to pass a bill for the establish
ment of that system of measurement in
the handling of gram and other commodi-
ties.
Strong resolutions were unanimously

Free Trade Another Phase.
The Board having previously passed
resolutions in favor of the abolition of all
State laws discriminating against non-
resident traders ard agents, q resolution
was introduced asking Congress to pass a
law overriding these local regulations,
which, however, did not obtain the
requisite vote for its passage. The vote
stood on final ballot 50 to 50.
il resolution of respect to the memory
of Hiram Albaugh, of New York,
recently deceased, who presided at the
Convention at Detroit, and has been
present at every succeeding meeting of the
National Beard until this year, was unan-
imously passed. After an eloquent
tribute to the memory OF deceased,
the Board adjourned until tomorrow 8

ITALY.
Address from the Throne.

FLORENCE, Dec. 6.-Parliament was
opened Monday by King Victor Emanuel.
The King, in his speech from the throne,
declared that, with Rome as the capital,
the ediice commenced by Charles Albert
was crowned and the freedom of Italy
completed. 1t was now the task of the
Chambers to make her great and happy.
While we are thus happy, he continued,
two nations, glorious representatives OF
civilization, are engaged in a horrible
struggle. We will persis: in our efforts
TO induce them to end the conflict, and
prove that united Italy is an emblem OF
order, liberty and peace in Europe.
In reference to the Pope, his Majesty
said it was the duty of the nation to s.
ccre to the Supreme POntiff the free ex-
ercise of his religious offices and the main
tenance of his relations with the Catholic
world.
Improvements in the administration of
the government and the development of
the military and educational system were
promised.
In regard to the election of Prince
Amodeus TO the throne of Spain, the King
said: ga sister nation has invited our sou
to rule over its destinies. We rejoice in
the great honor conferred on our dynasty
and hope that it will bring equivalent
benefits to Spain"
He concluded with congratulations on
its present condition and hope for the
future career of the nation, and was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheers by the
members.
