LUoK-The Rothschilds are said to be such firm believers in luck that they will never employ any one in any capac- ity who has been unfortunate. They always ask the man who applies to them for situation, however humble, ''Have you ever had any bad luck ?'' and if the reply be in the affirmative, he is rejected without further discussion. To this apparently severe and unjust mode of dealing they attribute much of their ex- traordinary success in business.

FEARFUL ExP1os1oN.-The details of the explosion of the boiler of the steam CT Chautauqua, on Lake Chautauqua, have been received. Many of the fea- lures resemble those of the Westfeld explosion. Every person on board, some 40 in number, were thrown in the air Many were carried as high as 25O feet. A lady was thrown 'about 300 feet, and she was found drowned in that position, standing erect, her feet fast in the soft mud of the marsh in about six feet of water, with the book still in her hand thai she had playfully taken from her husband a moment before."

The Persian Famine Pestilence at e---..-s-- Work, F..


 A special despatch to the New York Herdld, confirms previous reports of the terrible ravages of famine and pesti- lence in Persia. The Persian govern ment has clearly an interest in under rating the consequences of the famine. since they have been undoubtedly the result of its own oppressive maladmin- istration. In Ispahan, city variously estimated at from two to five hundred thousand people, there have been 27,- GOO deaths, and the mortality has not yet diminished. The terrible record is, however, eclipsed by the accounts from the provinces where the famine first as- stunned alarming proportions. In Ma zanderan very much larger percentage of deaths has taken place some ac- counts, indeed, say half of the popula- tion have perished. Throughout the rice growing provinces there has been complete failure of the crop, owing to the drought. Hopes of better reports from these sections of the country must therefore be indefinitely postponed Large and formerly prosperous provinces are altogether deserted: Disease, as might have naturally been expected, dearth, and attacks man and beast The former rumor of the Asiatic plague hay ing broken out is uncontinued, but in it's stead, typhus and famine and fever and mallpox-tne last an unusual disease in Persia-are doing dreadful work. The cattle plague is raging terribly also in the districts where any cattle are still left to be preyed upon by it's ravages.

RINDERPEsT.- Russian catt

RINDERPEsT. .-The Russian cattle plague, while vending its course over Europe to the British Isles, has been slowly advancing toward Eastern Si- beria, and through Northern China. Last winter its depredations began on the Russian Pacific coast, destroying nearly all the cattle from the Amoor down to Waladstock. It may now ad- vance into Corea, and pass into Japan, or even reach America by way of the Alentian Islands and Alaska. Dr.. Mac gowan> lately drew up report in relation to this malady, for the information of the Japanese Government, transmitted through Minister De Long. Dr. Mac gowan had already appraised the Secre- tafy of State at Washington of the pos sibility of the epidemic reaching Alaska, vaao the Ascension Islands. Prohibitory legislation seems to have hitherto pro- tected the Atlantic coast, but America is now exposed in . more vulnerable quarter -Sbanghoi Netos5Letter. .

LIVING IN FALsEHOoD.-Le

LIVING IN FA1sEHooD.-Let us merely suppose two sisters living together for years in full interchange of thought on. every subject and community of inter ests. At last one of them falls into 8 habit or practice, not, indeed, directly injurious to her sister, but such as would cause her deep pain, and forfeit her es- teem. Day for day she exchanges the usual afectionatei morning greeting, taking pains that no alteration be per ceived in her manners, and then goes out on false pretense to do some act or follow some vicious passion which her sister fondly believes her to be too good and pure and highminded to do or enjoy. By and by she comes home with smil- ing face, though little uneasy at the chance of 8 question which may betray her, and she accepts her sisters kiss as If she had as good right to it as ever, and perhaps goes with her to church on Sunday, and talks just as she used to do with her, about things good and holy. Do we not all know that such life as this would become, in a week, nothing but hollowness and rottenness that the very power to retain any true affection would be lost, and that the deceived sis ter would have right to say that no cheating or swinding of trade would be half so.base as such swindle of respect and love ?-Echo.

patented by VIM. F. Cochrane, formerly OF
Springfield Ohio. The machine is nearly wholly
constructed of iron, making it durable and
strong. The main frame and cutting box caa be
raised by one lever without inc0nv enience to the
driver whilst sitting upon his seat, providing ia
cilities for the machine to pass oyer stumps and
other distractions of greater distance from the
ground than any other machine. Tae cutting
apparatus and swathing device can be folded
parallel together and both brought to occupy
compact position behind the driver and the rear
part of the frame nearly within trail of the
RIVING HEELS:
The same can be shipped without detaching any
of the parts, making it more conxenient to be
handled by the merchant or stored away by the
farmer when the season for its use has passed.
Thd mechanical construction of the Machine
provides the means of self adjustment in all its

so that by the unscrewing of three nuts from the
cross gurders. the whole mechanism of the ma
chine can be presented in detail on the field if
necessary, and any part at once renewed and re-
placed by the aid of the most ordinary opera
ton, without binding or cranping any part of
the mechanism of the machine. In fact it is but
the work of two men TO take the machine in de-
tail from the shells of the store room and put
the whole together in complete operation in TWEEN
ty minutes time. The machine may be shipped
in square boxes crcumscribng the diameter of
the driving wheels, delivered on the field, where
the boxes may be opened and in twenty minutes
the machine from detail will be found for at

Mr.. b. Foltz, of Springfield Ohio. of sixteen
