The money market is still reported to be
quiet and easy, but we notice a stronger de-
mand for discounts at several of the banks.
All offerings Of approved paper, if not at too
long date, are, however, readily accepted,
and thus far the gradual narrowing Of the
margin line Of discounts has had but little
apparent influence. Long paper is only-ex-
ceptionally taken in bank, but is placed
without much difficulty on the street,
especially when accompanied by satisfae-
tory collatsrals. We continue to quote first
class paper, with sound collaterals, at -0l0

Victor Emmanuel's Army.

How we'll prepared Italy is to main
tain an army may be understood from
the present unsatisfactory character Of
her financial position. The idea of
making Rome the capital Of the United
Kingdom has already cost as much as
it was worth. Its public revenue for
1870 was f3S,02l $50, its expenditure
e44, 4S5,040, showing a clear deficit of
nearly $30,000,000. It's public debt in
April, 1869, was at such an uncertain
amount that it must be expressed in
round numbers at C300000,000 1t
paid interest on the debt in 1870
amounting to Els, 692,592. Its exports
in lS67-the last year of which we have
any record-were G6,000,000 less than
its imports. From one country alone
last year it exported but one half of
what it imported. 1t has population
of 25,000,000, Of whom Two years since,

January, 1870, there were under colors

POIygamy in the Arctic Regions.

Two or three years ago an American
vessel, the Japan, was shipwrecked on
the extreme northern coast of Siberia,
inhabited by a mixed race supposed to
have originated from a mingling Of the
Russian and Tartar tribes, among whom
the crew spent considerable time.
Ultimately they were taken off by a
New Bedford whaler, and lately reached
the Sandwich Islands with the crews Of
the ships abandoned in the Arctic
Ocean. The description which they
give of the customs and modes of life
of their singular entertainers ought to
have an especial interest for those SAN
guine persons who entertain an idea
that the whole world is ripe for the es-
Enlistment Of universal republic.
The staple food of these people consists
of raw whale and walrus in a state Of
decomposition, while such is their i'm
moderate love of tobacco, which, in
common with alcohol, they procure
from occasional traders, lat children
of both sexes, only few months old,
may be seen engaged in chewing the
weed. In the summer months they
live in nuts made of walrus hide, and
in winter in holes excavated in the
mountain sides, daylight being admit
ted through holes cut in the rock,
which are stopped up with ice instead
of glass. During the summer the men
employ themselves in hunting the whale
and walrus in canoes, while the women
are kept busy in gathering grass and
herbs for edible and other purposes.
In winter the chief objects Of pursuit
are deer, bear and foxes. The walrus,
however, is their staple reliance, the
blubber being placed in pits whose
warmth soon reduces it to state of pu-
trefaction, in which condition it is es-
teemed as a great luxury, while the
hide furnishes material for huts, canvas,
clothing, fishing nets, and pretty nearly
everything else. Polygamy is INDUCED
in to an unlimited extent, each man
having as many wives as he can keep ;
the women, if they do not SUIT the
tastes or meet the expectations of the
husband. being discarded and sent back
to their parents after few weeks pro-
baton. while in case of infdelity to
their liege lord a portion of the offend
er's nose is forfeited for the crime.
The marines say, very naively, that they
met with many victims of this rigorous
law during their sojourn among them.

Education i'm japan.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican writes from Yokohama
The Minister of Education is attempt
ing a thorough remodeling of the
Yeddo College, as it is sometimes called,
dismissing all the native teachers, and
reducing the number of pupils from
about eleven hundred to say five hun
dred in all, who are to be admitted, or
readmitted on examination as to their
attainments and capacity to learn.
Hereafter only foreign instructors are
to be employed in the school, and
eventually none but professors of the
several branches of science will be re.
tanned. The intention is to organize
the institution after the fashion of a
European university, as fast as the adj
vancement Of the students will admit
of it. Rev. G.. f. Verbeck is still at the
head of the college, and was introduced
as such to his Majesty at the palace,
last Friday. The eagerness for instruc.
ton in foreign languages and science
grows daily in extent and intensity, and
schools for this purpose are springng
up in various and widely distant parts
Of Japan. There are nine of these
sanctioned and supported by the Gov
eminent already.
Another most promising fact deserves
to be mentioned in this connection. |
refer to the awakening desire on the
part of the people of all classes in this
vicinity for female education. A Yer
mont lady has a girls school in this
place, which was opened on the 1st of
September last, exclusively for girls,
and it numbers seventeen pupils now.
A wealthy native merchant at this port
has offered to build a school. house for
the purpose of furnishing school for
the people of all classes, and has re.
ceived permission of the Government
to do so. am informed that Bhuddist
temple at Kanagawa, on the opposite
side of the bay, has been temporarily
taken for the purpose. This is also to
be a school for English studies. The
Government school at this place has
about seventy-five pupils in it, and a
new building is soon to be erected for
its accommodation, constructed after
an American plan. The pupils in this
school are from almost all parts of the
country. These facts serve to show how
extensively the desire for knowledge
has spread in the country, and are a
good sign of progress and improve
nlent.

Hints for the Housewife.

Soda S0ap-The following is excellent !;
try it: Two lbs bar soap; two lbs sal
soda; ten quarts soft water; boil till all
is dissolved.
TO take Ink out Of Linen.-Dip the spot
ted part in pure melted tallow then
wash out the tallow, and the ink will
come out with it. This is said to be un-
failing.
Custer Sauce-When your oysters are
opened take care of all the liquor, and
give them one boil in it. Then take
the oysters out, and put to the liqour
two or three blades of mace add to it
some melted butter, and some good
cream put in the oysters and give
them boil.
Custer IoaSt-Bruise one anchovy fine
in mortar take twenty oysters, cut
off their boards, and chop them small
mix the anchovy and chopped oysters
in saucepan, with as much cream as
will make them of a good consistency
add little cayenne pepper; spread
them, when quite hot, on a round of
hot, we'll toast, cut as for an.
chovy toast
Ginger SnapS-Half pound Of treacle,
quarter of pound of brown sugar, one
table. spoonful of ground ginger, one of
caraway seeds. Work quarter of a
pound of butter into a pound of fine
flour, then mix it with the treacle,
brown sugar, ginger and caraway seeds.
Work it all we'll together, and form it
into cakes not larger than half dollar,
place them on baking tin in moder-
ate oven, when they will be dry and
crisp.
Steamed Pudding-Two eggs, two tea
cups of sour milk, one teaspoonful of
soda, little salt, flour enough to make
it quite thick, or it will be heavy.
Beat this smooth. Add cherries ras;j-
berries. currants or any dried fruit you
may have. Steam two hours, taking
care that the water is kept over the
pudding or bag all the time, and that it
does not stop boiling Eat with cream
and sugar, hard sauce, or any liquid
sauce you may prefer.
Another Cure for Felon-The Journal of
Medicine gives the following recipe for
this painful affection, which it says has
been known to cure scores OF cases, and
will never fail if applied in season. The
reader will do well to cut it out and
preserve it.: "As soon as the parts begin
to swell, get the tincture of lobelia and
wrap the part affected with a cloth sat
urated thoroughly with the tincture,
and the felon will be dead"

TOYS.

Toys for the million are peculiar to
the age. Wood is by far too dear in
England for their production, conse-
quently the chief seat of their manu-.
facture is in the dense woods of Ger
many. From out the somber pine
forests of Thuringia issue the penny.
boxes Of toys destined to make the
homes of all Europe ring with joyous
Observation-Disclosures tea-things, Noah S
arks, filled with only the leading ami
mails, soldiers, ETC., and the most
"screechingest" articles that ever de-
lighted the urchins ear and maddened
the old folks. How so many pieces as
go within these boxes can be made,
brought from such distance, and sold
with profit for penny, is a marvel
that can only be understood when the
mystery of their manufacture is in.
CURED into. In the first place, the pine
wood costs next to nothing women and
children are chiefly employed in their
manufacture and great speed in their
production is obtained by the division
of labor, every toy passing through half
a dozen hands. 1t would, at first sight,
seem impossible that the lathe should
be used in the production of animals,
but here we have an example, ring
of elephants, if we may use the term.
All those who have been abroad are
familiar with the round rings of bread,
eight or ten inches in diameter, seen in
bakers shops. In a toy-case, we saw
what at first sight appeared to be one of
these, but upon examining it more mar
rowly we perceived that it was a ring of
pine wood turned in lathe, not exactly
in the form of a ring, but in the form
of a ring Of elephants-there were the
trunk, the peculiar shaped head, and
the legs cut around the ring, as it were
and it was evident that the workman
had only to split this ring into suffi-
cient number Of segments, according
to appropriate thickness), to transform
the circle into a given number of ele-
plants. These segmental elephants re-
quire, of course, to be rounded and fin
ished by hand, but the process is most
curious, and is applicable to the pro-
duction of any other animal, and ac-
counts for the cheap rate at which these
wondrous toys can be produced. When
manufactured, they come to this coun-
try by water carriage. OF course, art is
out of the question in these penny arti-
Giles but the imagination of children is
lively enough to fill up all deficiencies,
and, as may be expected, their sale is
immense.-C dSSeFS Magazine.

The Pressure Cure.

The Chicago Republican says: "Mr.
Alexander Simpson, of Towanda, ILL.,. is
dead. He was bilious, Mr.. Alexander
Simpson was, and he saw the following
paragraph from the pen of DR.. Hall:
If bilious man wants to get well,
and is in no special hurry, all that he
has to do is to lie down out Of doors,
between two broad boards until he gets
ravenously hungry Mr.. Simpson fol-
lowed this advice, and calmly fell asleep
with broad board on top of him. I'm
der ordinary circumstances there would
have been no trouble; but there was
Fat Mems ball in the lager-beer saloon
next door that day, and the two cham
pion fat men got over the fence, and
sat down with jerk on top OF Mr..
Alexander Simpsons upper board with
out knowing he was there. 1t squelched
the breath out of him at the first blow.
And the fat men, you understand, they
sat and sat there, and discussed politics,
and the Alabama claims, and the Legal
Tender act, and the weather, and wo-
mans rights, and the Harrison boiler,
and metaphysics, and they kept on
drinking glass after glass of beer, and
getting heavier and heavier, until one
of them happened TO look under the
board-and there was Alexander Simp.
