THE LIQUOR INTEREST.

Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are mar
ching: how many of them? Sixty thou
sand! Sixty full regiments, every man of
which will, before twelve months shall
have completed their course, lie down in
the grave of drunkard! Every year du-
ring the past decade has witnessed the
same sacrifice; and sixty regiments stand
behind this army ready to take its place.
1t Is TO be recruited from our children and
our children's children. "Trainp, tramp,
tramp,"-the sounds come 10 us in the
echoes of the footsteps of the army Just
expired; tramp, tramp, tramp,-the earth
shakes with the tread Of the host now pas
sing; tramp, tramp, tramp, comes to us
from the camp of the recruits. A great
tide OF life flows resstlessly to its death
What in Gods name are they fighting for ?
The privilege of pleasing an appetite, oil
conforming 10 a social usage, Of filling six
ty thousand homes with shame and sorrow,
of loading the public with the burden Of
pauperism, of crowding our prison-houses
with felons, of detracting from the produc-
tive industries of the country, of running
fortunes and breaking hopes, of breeding
disease and wretchedness, of destroying
both body and soul in hell before their
time.
The prosperity of the liquor interest
covering every department of it, depends
entirely on the maintenance of this army
1t cannot live without it. 1t never did live
without it. So long as the liquor interest
maintains its present prosperous condi-
ton, it will cost America the sacrifice Of
sixty thousand men every year. The Of
feet is inseparable from the cause. The
cost TO the country of the liquor traffic is 1
sum so stupendous that any figures which
we should dare to give would convict us o
trifling The amount of life absolutely
destroyed, the amount of industry sacri
feed, the amount of bread transformed in
to poison, the shame, the unavailing sor
row, the crime, the poverty, the pauperism

AMERICAN ToYs.-F ormerly no one
bought American toys, but the trade is
gaining fast, AMI the productions are of
more varied design and better make than
the importaions. Several ingenious men
give all their lime to the invention of me-
chanical toys, in wich America does over
three fuurths of the entire trade. One
young man processes to have earned $780,
600 from royalty on his toys, and several
others have reaped small fortunes. year
or two ago a bahy-dolI appeared in the toy
shop windows which would creep across
the floor, turning It's head from side to side
as though seeking approval. About 10000
of these little thugs were sold in one yeaI,
although their price was five dollars each.
The heads, legs and arms are made to or
der in Germany, and the rest of the doll is
made in New York. Upon this one toy
$4,000 was expended in one year, and its
sale is increasing. In this class of diver
sions Yankee ingenuity and humor seem
to find healthy and abundant exercise; for
the later productions are marvels of these
qualities. Here is bear, a shaggy, fero-
cious creature, with n very red mouth and
rows of terrible teeth. Wind it up, and it
will rise upon its Launches, open its jaws,
snap its eyes, and turn upon you in true
grizzly fashion. The native in his piny
depths is Iut &c shame. Perhaps Young
America cannot row prettiy, fe,thering
his oars and squirting at the proper moment.
If he will study the movements of an au
tomalon which has appeared in the toy
shops, he may become proficient. Wig
orous little chap seated In boat will pull
ac 'oss Il sheet of water in jilfy, with no
other incentive than Connecticut clock
work. The same native makes Il model
horse canler, with its rider, across table.
There is no end, indeed, to the variety OF
mec hanical toys. The movements are
mostly made in Bridgeport aud Now Ha-
ven, and the rest of the toy is supplied in
New York city, where several large man
ufactorcs are workingg. As base ball is
simply national game and is not played
in other countries, all the implements are
of home make. Many schooners arrive
in New York fiom Maine during The sea-
son laden with bats alone, the trade in
which amounts to about $500, 900 annually.
The balls come from Matte, Mass, where
a large number of men and women are en-
gagged in their manufacture. The core is
made of cork, around which several strips
of india rubber ard yarn are wound. AT
ter this operation the ball is couered with
the bleached hide OF horses and sewed
with silk or linen thread. The business oil
one firm in Matte is said TO amount to $780,
600 year. Great numbers of rocking
horses are made in Vermont, Jews harps
were exclusively manufactured for many
years by two competing Irishmen in Dub

BLUsHING.-Darwin, in his new work
on "The Expressions of the Emotion in
Man aud Animals" has an Interesting
chapter on blushing. This act, he tells us,
is the most peculiar and the most human
of all expressions. Animals never blush,
although monkeys redden from passion.
We cannot produce bushing by any phys
cal means it is the mind which must lie
afeced; and blushing is not only invoun-
tary, but the wish to restrain it increases
the tendency. While the young blush
more freely than the old, infants do not
blush; women blush more than men; the
blind and the deaf do not escape. 1t is us
ually the face, ears and neck only, that
redden; the blush does not extend over
the body but certain races who go habitu-
ally nearly naked blush over their arms
and chests, and even down to their waists.
The Limitation of blushing to exposed parts
is explained by the fact that these portions
of the surface have been habitually expos
ed to the air, light, and alterations Of tenn
perature, by which the small arteries ac-
quire the Eabit of readily dilatng or con-
tracing. Hindoos blush but little; the
Chinese rarely blush; the Polynesians
blush freely; the young squaw Of our
American tribes has been seen 10 blush (;
the Kaffers of South Africa never blush,
neither DO the Australians.

WHAT IN A NAME.-Six men employed
around the engine house at the Glasten-

locomotive running on that road. Parents
in that vicinity have their children prac-

THE BATTLE OF THE BULLFRoas.-
ny of the citizens of Vermont will remem-
Der to having seen on the one dollar bills
of the Windham County State Bank a Wig
nette representing bulfrogs fighting. This
was engraved to commemorate the Battle
of the Bullfrogs. The facts were as fol-
lows: Many years ago, when the town of
Windham was newly settled, there came
very dry season. There are two large
ponds In Windhani, separated by an inter-
vening strip of land of considerable extent.
Each of these ponds was inhabited by a
large community of the reptiles above
named. The smaller pond dried up, and
its inhabitants started in body for the
lower, and larger, pond. They were met
in the intervening space by the commune
ty from the larger pond and fierce aud
long continued battle ensued between the
rival communities. Such was the hileous
believing Of the frogs during their fierce
encounter that il alarmed the Inhabitants
who ut first supposed 1t to he the whoop of
the hostile savages. But curiosity getting
the. better of their fears they cautiously
proceeded to the spot whence the hideous
sounds issued and there boheld the strange
and singular spectacle Of two immense ar
mics of bullfrogs, covering many acres of
ground, engaged in fierce and deadly
battle. This battle continued more than
twensy-four hours and when il was over
the ground was literally covered with the
slain, and it became necessary, in order to
avoid the noXious efIluva, to gather and
bury them. have related this rs ii was

ands judiciousy; her charities are all
original and, as she gives not only money
but nearly all her time, everything has the
benefit of her personal supervision. She
has always been liberal in her gifts to asy-
lums, retreats. charity schools, etc. but,
this summer, she has fitted up boarding.

working for wages. 1t is large, airy
mansion, situated upon lofty hill on Sta
ten island, away up among the birds in
fact, where everything is green and fresh
and cool. Competent nurses arc provided,
and the little Iatrons have the best of care
and attention. Here those mothers whose
duties require them 10 be separated from
hoir children may place them, at from SO
to IS month, according to age, with the
assurance that they will have as good a
time as baby can, and be "returned in
| good order" The institution has two
fold purpose, however. Aside from board
! ing the class already mentioned, II is in
tended as summer resort for children OF
the city industrial schools, where they can
spend week or two in breathing pure air
and generally enjoying themselves. The
house is so elegantly fitted up that the chill
dren have almost the laxurlos af rich peo-
pies children, and Mrs. Stokes drives over
two or three times week with her bands
full of good things. The whole income OF
100000, presented to her on her wedding
day by her father, is devoted to this and
