How Boston Grows.

Boston and the four towns surround
 ing 1t, which were included in the an-
 nexation movement, voted upon the ao-
 ceptance of the act. Boston decided
 favorably for all the applicants for an- nexatlou by an average vote of nearly
 six thousand, the opposition vote av-
 eraging about fifteen hundred. Charles
 town, Brighton and West Roxbury
 boiled large votes also in favor of an
 nexation. Brookline refused to be ab- sorbed by Boston. Brighton and West
 Roxbury becoming part of Boston,
 Brookline is placed in an awkward geo. graphical position. Touching the Charles River and the west side of the Back Bay it completely separates Brigh- ton from Boston, while Brighton on the north and West Roxbury on the south almost surround Brookline.
 Charlestown, Brighton and West Roxbury will become part of Boston on the first of January next. Charles town is, probably, in area, one of the smallest cities in the world, for, not withstanding it's dense population, it has less than thirty-three thousand in- habitants. West Roxbury and Brigh. ton are beautiful towns, with popula- tions respectively of about ten and five thousand. By the addition of these places Boston will have a population of more than three hundred thousand.
 But the gain to the city, says the New York Eve'aing Post, is much great CT in commercial and political advan- tages than in population. By absorb ing Charlestown it gains entire control of the harbor, thus settling many ques- tions of jurisdiction which in times past have caused needless delays and ex- pense. Besides this, it obtains new and admirable water-supply, which Charlestown has provided for, with very little additional cost, and this is one of the necessities of Boston's fire department as we'll as it's manufactories. By the union of Brighton, Boston will control the great stock-yards and slaughter-houses, extend it's jurisdic. tion over the Charles River, and be able, therefore, to make important sani- tary and commercial improvements. By the union with West Roxbury it will obtain the desired territory for parks, which are so much needed by the city, and the influence of Q class of voters who will give better tone to city poli- tics. On the whole, Boston will be largely the gainer by taking in all these | towns

The Battle of Business.

Henry Ward Beecher lectured in Music Hall, Bostsn, on the "Battle of Business" He gave it as the result of .-ls observation that so other occupa- tlon made such demands on the nervous energy of men, was to beset with in- ducements to dishonesty, as mercantile life. The fault is not that men do not want to be honest, but that the maiori- ty of them do not know how to be. They think it is all right to do as oth- CTS do; or, more likely, they initiate without thinking at all of the moral quality of the act.
 MT. Beecher was especially severe on stock gamblers, saying that they de- served the halter if any criminals did. The only consolation in reviewing the career of those men was the assurance that few of them kept their ill-gotten wealth long. He had lived to see six or eight Kings of Wall street dethron- ed. In the strife of business men re- gard onl y the end, and do not scruple much about the means. If it seems necessary to buy legislature to insure the prosperity of their schemes they buy one. All the great corporations know the price of the old members of 8 ieg1Slature, ana quickly ind out what the new ones can be had for. The men who are bought the easiest over- the cheapest-are the farmers, not be- cause they are in fact more venal, but because in their simplicity they are compromised and involved before they know it. The lawyers and merchants, more accustomed to the arts of schem- CTS, are more wary. They have to be fished for more patiently, and are only secured at large expense.
 Speaking of the power of the great corporations of tue country, MT. Beecher declared that if the New York Central, Erie and Pennsylvania Gen. tral Companies should conspire to do it, they could elect the President of the United States. This was the first delivery of this lecture.

A Costly Berry.ing.

The Old Colony Press says Henry Abbott, of Lakeville, few days since, was out for bar-berries, and, having filled his basket, placed it by wall while he went to quench his thirst at 8 spring. Returning, he missed his ber- ries, and just then saw crossing an ad- joining pasture, hunter whose game bag seemed full. Abbott approached the sportsman, asked what luck he had had, and requested the privilege of in- specting his gun. The Nimrod handed over the shooting iron" when Abbott, cooking it, thundered out, "Those ber- riss yoN stole will be three dollars. :" The sportsman was badly hit, and agreed to pay. Not having the plasters with him, Abbott retained the gun as security, and it was duly redeemed by the man, who has probably lost all relish for barberries.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or inflammation of the bronchial tubes winch carry the air we breathe into the lungs. It arises from cold settled in the throat, from Catarrh extending to these parts, from scrofulous affections, and from severe use of the voice. The irritation from this latter cause commences in the ld,anr and glottis. which are the organs of the voice. and. extending downwards, produces hoarseness. coughing, and splitting mucous matter, some- times mixed with blood. It is chiefly dan gerous from it's tendency to spread into the lungs, and terminate in consumption. It is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases of this disease that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has achieved unparalleled success, and won the loudest praise from all who have used it. It is sold by all respectable Druggists

The Old Story.

As to the causes that led to the fall of Phelps, the defaulting New York State officer, or his methods of opera tion in embedding the funds of the State, or the disposition made of the stolen money, the prisoner declines at present to give any information. There is no doubt, however, from the hints let fall during his interview with cor respondent that he was tempted to use the public money in the hope of be- coming speedily rich by speculations in Wall street. It was "the same old story" as he remarked when this idea was suggested as being the cause of his dedication. That he had accomplices is beyond doubt, and they have proba- bly, proited by his peculations, while he has not received dollar of pecuniary benefit. It has been hnted that the men most guilty are yet Tn the back ground, and it is not improbable that facts may yet como to light that will startle the public.
 The Tribune correspondent ascer- tained from persons in Albany that Phelps had several years ago, probably at the time he was in partnership with Milo Hatch, lost all he was worth in stock speculations in Wall street. He has often been heard to say that he had had enough of stock speculations, and should never make another venture in that line. It seems, however, that the temptation was too strong for his reso- lution. He had no expensive habits known to his friends in Albany, and his wife, who is spoken of as a very estimable and intelligent lady, says he was accustomed to hand her his whole salary, $2O0, at the end of each month, and she paid all the bills. Mir. Raines has ascertained that during the last two months Phelps has been in the habit of slipping off to New York on the cars frequently on Saturday afternoons, and returning on the Sunday night trains. It was, doubtless, on these occasions that he arranged for his stock specula- tions and for the cashing of his drafts.
