About a month after one of the reverend

among other things remarked casually that l

"What could the idiot mean? To satisfy
myself of the falsity of the charge sent detec
tives to where he lived, and they brought me
back word that he had made his $4,000 saar,
in the aggregate yield fully $500, ,0OO-but ther

THE SEASON AT CAPE MAYA correspond
ent of the Baltimore american says: The
total receipts of the three leading houses are
as follows: Stockton House, 5000, 700, Con
gress Hall, $l75,000 Columbia House, $l40,.
600, and you can count easily as much as
twenty-five per cent net profit on this. Indeed,
am assured that Colonel Cake, of Congress,
will realize over $4,000 for his labors of two
months; Duffy, of the Stockton, about the
same handsome figure, and Bolton, of the
Columbia, about $4,000. Congress Hall will
have another extension this winter, giving an
increased capacity of say two hundred and ten
single rooms, while the Stockton had it in con
tenn rtion to add bowling alley, dancing
hall and one hundred and fifty single rooms
Another enterprise now under consideration
is new and very large frst-class hote on the

FRENCH VS. ENGLISH GALLANTRY.-In
comparison with the rude covering with which
the Briton clothes his acts, the plant grace
and kindly solicitude Of the Gaul in presence
of his fellow men compel admiration. Yet if
one could read the heart a this BritOn, it
would perhaps be found that his sentiments of
humanity arc deeper than those of his neigh
Dor. The rudest husk sometimes covers the
sweetest kernel. When the Gau performs a
gallant act, he extracts all the honey that is to
be gotten out of it. If he gives up his seat to
a WOman-whch, by the way, he does not often
do-he takes off his hat and points to the vacant
place as if he were surrendering an empire and
inviting IA queen to enthrOne herself thereon.
1t he hoists her umbrella it is as if he were
spreading out the canopy OF heaven over her
head. Ii he picks up fallen glove, he offers
it to the owner as il he were placing his sword
and honor at her disposal for the rest of his
! life. If he quits her at the foot of stairway
! he looks after her as a chamberlain of the court
might do when her majesty mounts the throne
And in each instance the woman meets hin
halfway in grace and affability. All thi
makes him happy The consciousness o
having conducted himself as chevaler with
out reproach, the probability of having pro
duced an impression on the heart of her whom
he has thus encountered, and the recollection
of her enticng manner bring rippes of plea
sure across his mind whenever the scene recur
to him.

The EMPLOYMENT OF "DRUMMERS. The
Journal of Commerce is inclined TO think that
reaction is approaching in the method Of
attracting custom. The employment of drum
mers 1--WE are told) is essentially demOralizing.
1t almost certainly debauches the agent sooner
or later and tends by the insrumentalities
used to the injury of the morals and habits of
customers Even where these evils can be
avoided it is most expensive agency, and this
will lead to its disuse, since if employers are
not sick of it, the buyers must see that they
have to support it, and must eventually decline
to lay in their stock subject to such costly
machine for distribution. 1t is great mistake
60 suppose that these local and travelling
solicitors of custom are at all necessary to the
transaction Of large business The first
essential is brains, then sufficient credit and
capital to present desirable stock. Judicious
advertising will announce this to every man
whose custom is worth having. Courtesy and
fair dealing will complete what is thus
auspiciously begun. Drumming leads directly
to dissipation and RIGHTEOUSNESS; hut if it were
morally unexceptionable, it is too heavy tal
to be laid upon the distribution of goods
Country merchants are growing as shy of thest
red-faced borers as the farmers are of light
ming rod agents or patent pill peders. Have
stock worth selling, and announce the fact t
the public in the columns of a newspaper ant
when customer is thus found make it for hi
interest and pleasure to come again.

DELIcAcY OF BUTTER-It is well known to
all dsiry-women of experience that, butter to
be sweet, require the cleanest and most delicate
handling and care. A farmers wife says: "Of
all the products Of the farm it is the most
liable to be tainted by noxious odors floating in
the atmosphere. Our people laid some veal in
the cellar from which little blood flowed out
and was neglected until it had commenced to
smell. The result was that the jar of butter
which was then packing smeled and tasted
like spoiled beef. Another lady reader
observes that there was a pond of filthy, stag
nant water few hundred feet from their
house, from which an offensive effluvium would
be borne on the breeze directly to the milk
room, when the wind was in certain direction,
the result of which was that cream aud butter
would taste like the disaereeable odor coming
from that pond As soon as the pond wa;
drained VIC had no more damaged butter.

THE INNER LIFE.-One fruitful source of
dscoutent and one great bar of enjoyment in
this world, is the practice of comparing one s
lie with the life of others, utterly ignoring the
fact that every person has an inner as well as
an outer life-or, in the old-fashiOned words of
the Bible, that ''every heart knoweth its own
bitternessl' How often is the remark made
by superficial observers, How happy" such
and such persons "must be !" " If [ were
only they!" When, ten to one, these very per
sons, oblvious of their wealth and position
are weary and heart-sore with the din and bat
tie of life.

SUSAN ANTHONY should get after the man
who makes the following discrimination: The
male mosquito lives short, idle life, doing
gathered from flowers, having a dainty prefer
ence for lilies, in whose creamy petaled bells
he pensvey swings. The female is the noisy,
aggressive sex, and makes life burden to those
unfortunate mortals encountering her. She
stings them and 'brags' about it; and, not con-
tent with her own evil career, every month de
posts one hundred eggs in some cool damp
place thus multiplying and perpetuating her
kind !"

WESTERN CITIES. Western cities grow with
wonderful rapidity. In 1888 ST. Paul had but
three inhabitants, one of whem "still lives" in
ls49 it had 400 inhabitants; in 1855, 44OO; in
1857, 9973; in 1865, 1920; in 1870, 20,045;
and in 1872, about $4,000, The growth Of
Minneapolis is not far behind that of st. Paul.
The infant colony of Colorado Springs, about
seventy-five miles from Denver, had no exist
ence a year ago. Now it numbers one hundred
and fifty nine houses, has large hotel, which
is constantly crowded, two or three churches
four public parks, several embryo public insti
tutions, anda newspaper.
