An Ei"ht.HOur LAW.

Gov. Hoffman of New York, in his message, speaks as follows of the Eight hour law:
 In 1870 what is commonly called the Eight-hour law was enacted by the Leg islature and approved by me. It pro- vided, among other things, that eight hours shall constitute legal days work upon all the public works of the State. and that any public officer who should violate or evade it's provisions might be removed by the Governor or by the heads of departments to which such of ficer was attached. By this Act the Legislature intended to hold out the promise, on behalf of the State, to labor CTS who might be employed on any pub lie work that they should receive full days wages at current rates for eight honrs,work. The spirit of the promise has been kept /; yet no case has arisen where removal of a public officer could legally be made. The laborer understood the law to provide for reduction of the hours, but not of the wages of labor The State ought not, under the forms of law, to deceive any portion of it's people. Its practice should be in accord with ifs professions. It demands general ohedi- ence to it's statutes, and should itself set the example of conformity with its own laws, While the law stands upon the statute book the professions embodied in it sholll be made good by such amendments 10 it as will render tho ful. hlment of it's purpose certain.

A Chonter on Whining.

 Most people don't like to trade with him bekause they are afraid he'll but up, or think mebbe he's already busted.
 The more down bizness mau is the more his kusto slers will let him stay there.

A Popular Investment.

The First Mortgage Bonds of the Northern Pacific Railroad have now won position as the leading railroad securi- ty in our market. No other Bond is sell
 ing with anything like the rapidity which Messrs. Jay Cooke < Go. report for these, none is based on an enterprise of so much importance to the country, and none combines in so large measure the elements of security and profit. Gen. tral Pacific Bonds are based only on a railroad without any other property, and bear only sic per cent. interest, yet they ale selling at 1O3. Northern Pacific Bonds, on the other hand, are first lien on Q railroad having immense advan- tages in the matter of distance, grades cost of construction, &c.,, over any other line, and in addition are first mortgage on the enormous land-grant of the com papy, amounting to more than fifty mill lion acres of the most valuable lands in the Northwest. Northern Pacific Bonds, in fact, combine the security of q real estate mortgage with the convcnience of q railway bond, and are more profitable than any other similar investment. For 30 years to come they bear interest at the rate of 3. 10 per cent. per annum in Gold, yet they are offered DOW at par and accrued interest ill currency. cy.-Com.

How He Started Off,

In the year 1S01.t Hanoverian Gen. eral von Estorff, personal friend of William TX, Laudgrave of Hesse- c ,ssel, was consulted by the latter respecting a suitable person for the situation of bank CT to the court. Won Estorff hud ob- served Meyer Rothschild as the clever ,st clerk of Openheim's house, and proposed to introduce him to the landgrave as one of the best financiels he had ever met. On being summoned to the palace one afternoon, Rothschild found William and Won Estorff engaged at chess, the latter evidently getting the best of it.. The Jew stood for long time waiting patiently behind the landgraves chair, without word having been spoken by any one, until at length William turning abruptly to Rothschild, said, Do you know anything of this game ?"
 "A little and if your Righness will give me leave to suggest certain moves, think you would win the game
 'Out with it then," replied the land- grave.
 And by following the clerks advice William won the game, which so pleased him tha: he at once promoted Rothschild to the office of court banker.
 After this. the banker took care of Will Iam's money when the latter was obliged to fly his throne, and returned it with such scrupulous exactness that William soon placed him in way to get rich.

TIGHT BooTs.-Hard corns are caused by too much pressure of the boot, or by its being so loose as to slip back and forth on the spot where the. corn afterward shows itself. Medical books record sev- eral cases where paring hard corn has caused bleeding which no known means could arrest, and death ensued. Nothing harder than the tinger-nail ever ought to be allowed to touch the corn, which can always be cured, or kept from causing inconvenienoe, by simply bathing the part in warm water for half an hour for several days in succession; often single bathing will accomplish tho object of softening the parts adjacent to tue actual corn that it can be picked out with the fnger-nail, and the shoe can be instantly worn without discomfort, which an hour before gave him great pain. It may re- turn in week, or month, or year, but the same treatment will always avail. Pairing causes them to spread and take deeper root.
