merchant princes generally as large as those
OF the nobility
Mr.. Froude. Oh, yes; their net incomes are
large. Look at Mr.. Brassey, the contractor.

We authors have to content. ourselves with
smaller fortunes. You will say that Dickens
made an enormous amount of money. So he
did; but, after all, Dickens left only $4,000
and his novels. / presume during his lifetime
he enjoyed an income of from fs. 600 to 5000.

the prevailing creed of every State. In
Africa, the only independent Christian
States are Abyssinia and Liberia, while
Christianity prevails in several European
colonies. The largest empire of Asia

PARTISAN ISLANDERS.

Speaking Of that class of bitter parti-
sans whose enmity to Republican princi-
pies leads them to circulate and magnify
any report which has tendency to bring
discrcdit on the party or any Of its lead
ing members, the Marysvillo AppcdL
thus refers to the malignors of President
Grant: "The Democratic SANDERS ma
lciously set aAoat and industriously cir
culatcd by the Democratic papers, have
received quictus ut the hands of tho
New York Times. Started without the
slightest shadow of foundation, and rcit-
Grated without the prctensc of the pos
session of proof these lalsehoods have
been passed from hand to hand, been
magniiod and enlarged upon, until many
have been inclined to accept them rs true.
1t has been charged that the President
has become wealthy during his term of
office, that he has accepted valuable pres
ents during that time, that he is interest
cd in the Seneca Stono Company, thro'
which he is rcaping immense dividends
mcnt, and lastly, that ho has been guilty
of nepotism in forcing largo number
of his relatives upon the Government
support by placing them in lucrative on-
ccs. To the first of these charges, tho
Times shows that he has acquired no
property since he became President, and
that much of his estate he is charged
with having received in the form Of pres
cnts, he purchased long since, or ac-
quired by inheritance. AS to the second
charge the Times asserts emphatcally
that "not n dollars worth of property
has been given to General Grant since he
became President" His interest in the
Seneca Stone Company was purchased
for 100000 nearly year before he was
nominated for the Presidency, has never
paid him n cent and he would gladly sell
the stock. As to the list Of alleged rola-
tives, it is shown that only very small
number are in any way related to tho
President or any Of his family, and rear
ly all of these were appointed to their
respective positions by previous admins
trations. Still wo presume the Demo-
cratic press will continue TO retorato
these lies, and will not ovcn have the de-
ccncy to furnish tho slightest scntilla of
evidence to show that they oven havo
reason for entertaining them moment
as true"

EXERCISE, to be more profitable, ought
to be rs far as possible not systematic
and taken for its own sake, but sponta-
neous and incidental to some occasion OF
either business or amusement. SO init
mate is the connection between mind and
body, that it is difficult to benefit the lat
ter unless while relieving and pleasantly
occupying the former. To the lawyer,
merchant, student, or indeed any one
whose mind is deeply engrosscd by his
occupation, there is marvellous efficacy
in journey among new scenes, which,
while it restores the physique, at the
same time affords immense relief to the
jaded spirit. Exercise must not be al
lowed to become n toll, but must be nc
companicd by sense of that which
sweetons all labor, the sense Of progress
and some object gained.

The MooN's LEssoN.-Tho lesson tho
moon teaches, according TO astronomers,
is that of birth, life and death on sub
lime and mighty scale. Tho sun, earth
and moon exhibit these conditions the
sun is uninhabited and uninhabitablc, be-
cause it is too young; the moon, because
it is too old while the earth, now tho
abode Of life, will in timo reach tho con-
dition Of the moon, which is II sopulchre,
and cease to be inhabited also. The moon
is not older than the sun, but is youngest
Of the three but the enormous size OF
the sun prevents it from passing from ono
phase TO another as rapidly as the smaller
body has, and so, after ages, it continues
in the state of combustion in which all
the heavenly bodies are supposed to have
been born. The earth has passed out Of
this state Of combustion by boing cooled,
and is now scene Of myriad life and tho
thoater of moral action but the moon
has passed through this stage Of life and
become II dead satellite. Such is what
modern science announces MS the result
Of careful investigations Of the moons
surface.

Funeral Of General Anderson.

The funeral of General Robert Andcr-
son, the hero of Fort Sumter, which took
place at Nice, is thus noticed by an Italian
journal:
Fife and drum preceded the mourning
concourse, because these two warlikc mu-
steal instruments were the ones which
marshalled the Americans to victory or
death in their long struggle with the Eng
lish to drive them from their country and
establish their independence.
There was no funeral drapcry around
the coffin, because Americans do not con-
slider death calamity, but law of ma
ture, as the rcposc Of life, just as night is
the rcposo Of day. There was no hcarse,
because Americans desire their remains
to be borne to the grave by their own
countrymen. There were no torches
lighted, because Americans consider this
ceremony MS n pure matter of business /;
the great light of day is enough for them,
as they consider it tho emblem of the
souls life after death. The coffin was
covered with their national flag, because
Americans who were proud to honor it
in their lifetime, have the privilege to en-
velop themselves in it when carried to the
grave. There was no display of ribbons,
decorations or medals of honor, because
Americans live and die for their country,
not for snowy distinctions, but as mat
ter of duty they know no other distinc-
tion than virtue and patriotism. The
uniformed officers and soldiers were sim
pie and docorous their silent and grave
bearing exhibited their respect and re-
gret for the honorcd dead and his family;
the mourning was not affected, and one
might see that sorrow was in their hearts.
They were true citizens, accompanying
to his eternal abode their worthy fellow
countryman, General Anderson. Spec
tators were penetrated with feeling of
religious sympathy. What n contrast
between this funeral and those of the
great European personages who have
died ut Nice Immense procession were
on those occasions composed of hirclings,
who were compelled to be present. Those
who attended the funeral of General An
derson will not readily have the remem-
brance Of that ceremony cilaccd from
their memories.

THE Wabash, Indiana, country has al
ways been celebrated for the pcrsistcncy
and quality of its fever and aguc. A To-
cal physician thus describes the genuine
Wabash article: at comes creeping up
II fellows back like n ton of wild cats {:
goes crawling through his joints like iron
spikes and is followed Wy fever which
prohibits the patient from thinking Of any
thing but Grecnland's icy mountains. 1t
isn't the every day kind, but gets up with
a man at daylight, and sleeps in the small
Of his back all night. His teeth feel about
six inches long, his joints wobble like n
loose wagon wheel, and tho shalIos are so
unsteady that one can't hold conversation
except by putting in dashes."

A WISE FATHER.-The following an
ecdotc is told of the famous Prince OF
Conde. He left his son, aged nine years,
fifty louis dor to spend while he himself
was absent in Paris. On his return the
boy came to him triumphantly, saying :
" Papa, here is all the money safe;
have never touched it once"
The Prince, without making any reply,
took his soon to the window, and quietly
emptied all the money out Of the purse
into the street. Then he said: 4: "If you
have neither virtue enough to give away
your money, nor spirit to spend it, always
do this for the future, that the poor may
have n chance Of it,"

A CURIOUS fact is related Of tho Maine
woodchoppers, who, in the winter months
while falling trees amid snow and ice,
cannot wear closc-ftting boots, but very
large sizes, that allow their feet to slip to
and fro, thus causing friction and warmth.
But from this they have their feet com
pletcly encrusted with corns. In the
spring, when they raft their logs, they do
not change their clothing or boots for
weeks, until their arrival at the saw
mills. All the while their feet have boon
saturated in water, and, when the boots
are removed, the corns fall off like nut
shells from the kernel.

NUMBER OF UNFoRTUNATEs " IN
THE CoUNTRY.-There are in the United
States, according to the new census, 20,-
800 blind persons, of whom 1,343 are
males, and 9,977 females. The whole
number of insane is 1882; males 1874,
females 19,l0S. OF the idiotic there are
IA, ,485 males, and 1902 females. The
proportion of negroes is much larger in
this class Of unfortunatos than in either Of
the others. The whole number ofthose who
are both blind and deaf and dumb is 90
persons both blind and insane, 75; deaf
and dumb, and insane, or idiotic, II. 1t
will be noticed that in all classes Of unfor-
tunates except the insane the number Of
males is much greater than the number
of females. There are al blind persons
over so years old also deaf and dumb,
7 insane and idiots. The total number
of unfortunates in the country is 81, ,923.

PROTECTING RooFs From FIRE.-The
Fireman's Journal, which ought to be
good authority on such matters, says =
A wash, composed of lime, salt and fine
sand, or wood ashes, put on in the ordi-
nary way Of whitewash, is said to be rem
der shingles fifty-fold more safe against
taking fire from falling cinders, or other
wise, in case Of fire in the vicinity. 1t
pays the expense a hundred-fold in its
preserving influence against the effect of
the weather. The older and more wealth
er-beaten the shingles the more benefit is
derived. Such shingles are more or less
warped, rough and cracked. The appli-
cation of this wash restores them to their
original, or first form, thereby closing the
spaces between the shingles, and the lime
and sand, by filing up the cracks, pre-
vents warping.

A PAPER was recently read before the
British Association Of Science, at Edin-
burgh, upon new mill for grinding
wheat. 1t is described as reducing the
grain by percussion while it is unsuppor-
ted and projected through the air. When
passing through the machine the wheat
is struck by q series Of bars moving in
opposite directions, which reduces the
wheat so quickly to a state ready for bolt
ing that no injurious heat is caused /;
hence the -four is superior to that obtain
ed in the usual process, and produced at
less cost. An Edinburgh firm has one of
these disintregating four-mills in full
operation, and its advantages over the
millstones that it supersedes are stated to
be that it rarely needs repairs, requires
fewer men, is free from loss by scorching,
occupies less space, requires less driving
power, and produces superior quality Of
flour.

SIDEEfAL AND SOLAR TIME.-The day
being strictly the time required for one
revolution of tho earth upon its axis, is
% hours, So minutes, A and tenth Sec
onds, in which time star reappears in
the same place where it was seen before.
But the earth's forward move in its own
orbit requires an additional time of about
3 minutes and So seconds, or "A hours in
all, to bring the sun around to appear at
the same place, or, in other words, for
any place on the earth's surface, to como
to the meridian. Thus arises the difIer-
ence between sidcrial and solar time.

on his death-bed In the farm houSe
near the field Of Charlottesville.
They were among the utterances OF the

connection with some preceding pre-
ceding speeches showed that the dying
