A singular statement is made in an Au'
burn newspaper. A few weeks ago u
gentleman who was passing through
Auburn left a package Of 500 temperance
tracts with the chaplain of the prison for
circulation among the convicts. The
tracts were searchingly scratinized by
the chaplain, who found that they were
written with great care, and likely 10 do
good. They discussed the various as
poets of the temperance question, and
among other things, mentioned the va,
rious drugs and poisons Of which iiq-
uors are often made, giving analyses and
explanations Of the way they are manu-
featured, with view to show how del
eterious they are TO health. The tracts
were distributed. Soon afterward vari
ous convicts were found in an intoXica-
ted condition. On Investigation 1t came
TO light that a number of them had ac:U-
ally made nsc Of the recipes in the
tracts, and produced kind of whisky,
on which those in the secret had been
revealing till detected. How they Oh
tanned the materials from which to
make it is not stated.

Il is remarkable, but nevertheless
10. that, as a rule, hirts, both male
md female, do not marry quickly. The
chances are that girl who becomes en-
gagged at eighteen and goes on becoming
engaged and disengagged, as is the custom
for hirts to do, ultimately settles down
into q confirmed old maid. If she does
we'd, as general rule, she develops IN.
to viruIeDt wasp, makes her husband
miserable, and brings up her children
badly. ltis not very difficult to find
reasons why fiirts do not marry. Sen
sible men admire in g woman something
moro than . pretty faeesand engaging
manners. They love intelfsct common
sense,. and heart qualifications, which the
Airt docs not possess. The true woman
allows her affections full play, and is not
ashamed Of them. She will not lead a
man TO believe she cares for him when
she does no snch thing. She will not
firt with him just for the sake OF Hurting.
She has true conception OF what Is
ripht and possesses q great deaf more
common sense. She has derived her
education from something else than
three volume novels and the society of
the empty-pated. She can be thorough
Iy merry, but she can be merry without
beng idiotic. She may attract less at
tention in drawing room than tiirt
does, because she is less noisy and OBJ
.truaive; but for all that, she will be mar
ried sooner, and make her husband a
better and truer wife. 4 true woman
does not care for the spoony young man.
She dislilses his foppishncss, the vivid
compliments he pays her, and his effem-
macy. Ho quickly finds this out and
leaves her IN peace. Thus, If he ulti-
mately gets married, i; is TO the flirt, and

were large, none appeared at the MOURN

up for u week, and finally the preacher
got discouraged. But he said he would
try it one more night. That night came,
and with it a big congregation. The
preacher was eloquent, and wound up
with an earnest exhOrtati0U, inviting
persons forward to the seekers benches.
Not one arose. The preacher waited and
pleaded, but no one moved. Finally he
said he would have to abandon his eff

conviction, but no one was moved. He
had now made his last appeal, and after

~ ns.ey = Na6e At Farming.

Much labor is done on farms that is

stringent economy. II he Is otherwise

down grade with loose brakes, and tho
end is soon reached. But farming, in
ID true sense, is profession equal to

equal study, mental capacity, and intel
igently directed labor to command sue

course, but in good markets and bad he
raises his regular crops, and keeps his
land in regular increasing fertility. No

Hanging BIZ 2 Thread.

se A charming lady of about twenty
sauntered along kearny street on Err
day afternoon. She was fashiOnably at
tired, and looked decidedly stylish. In
her right hand she carried rich silk
parasol, after the present fashion, half
cane. She walked very leisurely, scru-
tinising tho ladies who passed, and also
tho gentlemen, pausing occasionally at
the shop window, jauntily swinging her
cane parasoI, and evidently half inclin-
ed to hum q tune. She was in'the most
cheerful mood. Her charming face
showed it. But while she thus promen-
aded something strange was taking place
behind her. She had two long blonde
curls that hung down her back. One of
them from some mysterious cause, part
ed near the roots, and falling-falling-
falling, finally hung suspended by some
black substance that resembled a thread
from the mass of her hair. The lady
sauntered merrily along with the curl
dangling down her back. All the pedes-
TRANS that passed her stopped to looked
At her. Some followed her. All laugh
ed at the curious spectacle, but she saw
them not. She paused at the shop WIN
dows, she took in all the sights, and all
sightseers took her in.
At Bush street sweet school girl
stepped up to her and whispered gently.
The lady hastily put her hand behind
her banlf, and curiously the whole curl
cane Of, like an amputated limb, with
ont an effort. She put the curl into her
pocket and walked on, little faster.
She did not look around, neither did she
look mp. Naturally walking faster she
could no longer look so cheerful, and
the rapid gait flushed her face somewhat.
She soon disappeared.
The Chronicle reporter failed to learn
what played such . strange trick with
the lady's hair. No doubt it was some
Of that nasty stuff they sell in the apoth-
ecary shop.-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

The New National Bank.

The New York Tribune has the following
statement concerning the proposed new bank
about which the telegram made an announce
mcnt a few days since. This paragraph gives
clearer idea OF the character of the instit,i-
ton: IL r@E * " q =
"A meeting of gentlemen representing the
banking interests of various sections OF tae
country was held ut the st. Nicholas Hotel, In
this CITY, on the 9th instant, ana IL was re-
solved to organize banking institution III
New York, with a capital of 50, 00e, wv, WIN
privilege of increasing to S20,00o,00o, such
institution to act as 4 representative Oh the
interests of the national banks throughout
the country, and ultimately as aredenplon
agency for their circulating notes, when such
a measure becomes obligatory. The Hon.
Freeman Clarke, late Comptrolero of the Cur
rency, is suggested as the president OF the
institution. Subscription agencies have been
opened for thirty days in the various cities
throughout the Union. AT the expiration OF
the time named or when the full amount OF
the stock shall be subscribed, the allotments
will be made, and due notice will be alter
ward given Of calls on subscribers" raa"
This bank, if established, will become a
very strong institution. 1t will probably
have the New York accounts Of the. great
bulk of the national banks Of the country
Being place of redemption of circulation,
it will become a sort Of regulator rs well as
protector of the circulation. If well man.
aged it will very much assure the country
banks against danger from unreliable instltll-
tons. New York being the settling point
for the whole country, the banks and
brokers throughout the country have to
keep balances there to meet drafts: The az
sregatc of these balances is always enor-
nous; so very large, indeed, that New York
is ever in the condition Of a borrower in
stead of creditor of the country.
We do not know that we understand the
functions of this proposed bank; but if We
do the national banks of the country will
very readily sustain it, as it is their evident
interest to have a friend in the great en-
porium to look after their interests ~
