Fair stock as an Investment.
During the canvas for the stock
first subscribed to the Agricultural
association, it was noticeable that a
large majority of those called upon
to subscribe, and of very many who
did contribute, looked upon the
subscription as a donation to a good
cause, and not as a matter of invest
ment. While its primary object is
the advancement of the general in
terest of the community, not only
of agriculturists, but of mechanics,
manufacturers and merchants. las
well, and deserves their earnest sup
Sport, it offers the still further ad-
vantage of being sound, safe, re-
liable and profitable investment to
its stockholders. Having received
from the Legislature a grant of the
Fair grounds, a property worth sew
eral thousand dollars, it adds very
materially to the value of the stock
3of the Association.
i. Upon this no dividend is declared
and to pay ten per cent on the entire
4investment of the stockholders,
when the capital shall have been
filled to the extreme limit now
necessary, say $4,000, it will require
IA net earningof only $1,000 90. Even
this, the first year, with less than
two months time to make every
preparation, including the erection
of every building and fence on the
sground, the issuing of the premium
list, (Which should have been done
six months in advance) and such adj
vertising as we had time to accom-
plish, our net earnings reach the sum
of $500, notwithstanding the ex-
travagant expenses incident and
necessary to such hasty preparations.
Since the Fair nearly $1,000 90
have been offered as new subscrib-
ations, and that without solicitation.
[ am now prepared to enter the
3canvass to fill the stock at the earli-
lest possible moment, so that with
s the first opening of the Spring we
$ may complete our improvements,

The Planets and their Inhabitants.

Nj. Figuior, noted French scientific
gentleman, says S,at modern astronomy
has demonstrated that there are other
worlds than ours, that the earth simply
makes part of class or group OF stars
which do not differ essentially, and that
there is nn infinity of other globes like
it, proceeds to consider the internal af-
fairs of the other worlds. Since there s
nothing to distinguish the earth from the
other planets of our solar system-Mer-
cury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, IRA
nus, and Neptune--he argues that we
must find in the others as we find here
air and water, a hard soil, rivers and seas,
mountains and valleys. There must be
found also IN them vegetation and trees,
and tracts covered with verdure and
shade. They must have atmosphere and
heavens There must be in them ami
mails and even men, or Mt least beings
superior to animals and corresponding
to our human type
Science has shown that the physical
and climatological Connections of the earth
and the other planets are identical On
these planets as on the earth the sun
shines and disappears, yielding place TO
nlpht, and cold and darkness succeed to
heat and light. In them rs on the earth,
the rich carpet Of herbage covers the
plains, and luxuriant woods cover the
mountains. Rivers flow majostically on
=. the seas. Winds blow regularly or
irregularly and purify the atmosphere by
minPlmG their strata charged in different
degrees with the produce of the evapor
alton of their soil. In quiet nights
dwelers on these planets see the same
heavenly spectacle that delights our eyes,
the same consultations, the same celes-
tial visitors. They have panoramic views
of the planetary globes with their follow
ing of faithful satellites and luminous
stars shining like gently y-brandishcd
torches. Once in while there is sud
den luminous trail which burrows the
heavens like flash Of silver it is star
that shoots and drops into the depths of
space. Again, it is n comet with beau
tiful tail that comes to bring news from
worlds millions of miles away.
The planetary man. according to his be
lief, corresponds to the terrestrial man
In the planets the process of creation Of
organized life must be the same as in the
earth the successive order OF appear
ance of living creatures is the same as
on the globe. And, like the terrestrial
man, the planetary man dies, is trans
formed after death into super human,
and passes also into ether.

A TIMELY SUGGEsTIoS.-In the report
of the Postmaster General is sugges-
ton for the establishment of Post-of1ice
savings banks. There can be no question
that even with the comparatively low
rate Of interest proposed -four per cent.
the public would, as Mr.. Creswell
claims, give the security of the govern
ment preference to any other. In view
of the disclosures lately made in New
York the bulk of small depositors would
hail with satisfaction the prospect of
something like absolute safety-beyond
the reach of panic or corrupt Legislation.
The competition of the Government
need not put other savings banks out of
the field. Elsewhere ii has not done SO,
but it has compelled them into compe-
tition Of soundness and trustworthiness
which has been of immense public ben
eft. The indirect benefit OF the peo-
pie through the employment in the
hands of the government of their own
savings, would also be very appreciable.

A New BoND.-One of the odd features
about the famous Tichborne case has
been the issue of bonds which have been
offered to the public like any other Sc
curity, and the quotable value of which
has constantly tluctusted. The bonds
were sold to raise money to carry on the
plaintiff 3 case. Rumors have been heard
of them before, but We now get informs-
ton in definite shape. They were first
placed" at f65, the price at redemp-
ton being f100. They engage, on their
face, that Sir Roger c. d. Tichborne,
his heirs and assigns, shall pay the last
named sum to the bearer, with five per
cent interest, until paid. Naturally. the
market value OF these securities has arisen
and fallen with the apparent chances for
success Of the plaintiffs suit: 1t is said
that at one time the bonds could be
bought in Birmingham for ten shillings
each. They are not worth about fift.
pounds.

The Gamins of Paris.

! One of the most affecting incidents in
/ Victor Hugo's Niserables, is the death OF
LIE Petit Gavroche. This typical repre-
sentative of the gamln of Paris, follows
/ to a barricade student who, during an
4 poster from the walls. The revolution
lists ran short Of ammunition, and the
daring hide scamp, procuring hamper,
proceeded to fill it with cartridges which
he found on the bodies of dead soldiers
lying in front of the barricade, thus
making himself a conspicuous target
for the fire of the troops. At last hlll-
let struck him down ; but presently he
rose again, the blood flowing from his
wound, and looking in the direction
whence the shot had come, was singing
gaily when second shot from the same
marksman pierced him, and "this little
great soul had fed away" The com
munist trials revealed the fact that the
race of Gavroches is not yet extinct in
Paris After the woman had been dis
dosed of, fifteen small boys, of ages
varying from six to eleven. were arraign-
ed with all due formalty to answer for
their share in the proceedings of the
ne Sttilt III COURT Is dtf-
cribed AS very amusing. There were
the seven grave and reverend Judges,
with the Judge Advocate on their right,
aud the registrar on their left, all in un-
forms two rows of gendarmes carrying
bayonets fixed other soldiers scatter
ed about the hall, and the usual motley
audience. Fifteen small heads peerng
above the prisoners bar, just where the
waistcoat buttons of the members of
the Commune used to begin, revealed
the presence of the terrible criminals
for whom this formidable preparation
had been made. 1t was proved that all
of these, with one exception, had shoul-
dered rifles, and fought in military uni.
form at the barricades, and some had
remained fighting after their seniors
had run away. During the investiga-
ton the boys behaved with nonchdiance
which would have done credit to Cav
roche himself and were characteristi
cally sharp in their answers when inter
rogated. Their sentences were various.
Some We're sent home for parental dis
cipline, while others were ordered to be
