The large advance in the price Of coal in
Great Britain is seriously affecting the interests
Of British steamship owners, by materially raising
the cost of the running expenses of the vessels,
and heavy losses are apprehended. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost Of working a large steamer
has been increased e45 per day by the rise in
coal, although small portion of the excess is at
tributed to the advance in labor. This has caused
the owners to look elsewhere for supply of coal,
and it is stated that one of the oldest trans-At-
lautc steamship companies have contracts to take
all their coal on the American side, at Pictou
and Sydney, where coal can be obtained at eight
shillings per ton, the present price of steam coal
At Cardiff being thirty-fve shillings per ton. One
effect Of this dearness of coal is to bring sailing
vessels into greater demand, and if high prices
shall continue any considerable length of time,
the result must be very advantageous to ship
owners in America.

The BABY HIPPoPoTANUs.-Frauk Buckand,
baby hippopotamus whose birth on the 9th of
November was announced, says: Il have just
been up TO the Gardens (the ZoOlcgicaD to get
the latest news, aud am happy to be able to issue
a most favorable bulletin. Little Guy Fnrbes
and its mother are both doing exceedingly well.
This morning at they were both asleep and
slept till eleven, at which hour they went into the
water. When they came out the mother stood
up while the young one sucked freely for some
time. 1t jerks its head against the udder like a
kid or a lamb. When it had sucked enough it
got up with milk all over its face aud began jump
ing and skipping with awkward gambOis around
its mother, aud every now and then it pitched up
the hay and played with it, showing it was lively
and well. When it goes into the water with its
mother it swims as well as q fish. When in deep
water the little hippo rests its nose the moth
ers great, broad, lower jaw, and sinks its head so
low in the water that only its nostrils are visible
This is evidently wondrous arrangement for the
safety Of the young from its natural enemies. 1t
has not yet been seen standing on its mothers
back in the water as represented in the plate of
DR.. Livingstone's book. On Tuesday the keeper
carefully tossed in fresh hay and straw and two
days food but this disturbed the mother consid-
erably. She is terribly savage, shows her great
strength and roars and bellows tremendously if
she is the least put out. She has not only great
powers of observation-knowing one keeper from
another-but also of memory for Mr.. Bartlett
thinks she recollects her two last babies were
taken from her, and therefore seems always in a
state Of alarm lest the third young one should
also be surreptitiously wrested from her maternal
care. Hence the necessity of the most perfect
quiet. The sparrows alone are admitted, and
must say they chirp unwarrantably loud. The
mother however, seems, though watchful to
be in excellent spirits, and the baby sucks
continuously, and the authorities have the great
est hope that it will live and thrive, now that it
has taken to its natural food. The period of ges-
tation is seven months and from 25 to % days"

WHAT is THE CREDIT MoB1L1ER?-lt
may not be inappropriate at a time when
the topic is exciting so much attention and
discussion, to lay before our readers a few
items of information concerning the Credit
Mobilier. Developments make evident
that it is an old ring organized several
years ago with the object of securing the
profits to be derived from the construction
of the Union Pacific Railroad. "a wheel
within a Wheel" leech that draws its
lle-blood from the body upon which ios-
tens. The directors of the railroad and the
directors of the Credit Mobiier are thesam
individuals, and when it was not allowed
the former to assume the building contract,
the latter took it at high rates, letting ii out
to smaller companies at low rates, thus
bringing in for division the profits of the
difference. The Government subsidies
when received were Immediately divided,
and building money loaned the road by the
Credit Mobiler at two per cent. a month.
Union Pacific Railroad stock was issued to
the amount of s25,0OO,OOO and taken by
members of the ring and no money was
received except the government loan of
s26, 100000, interest and principal, by de-
cson of Congress not 10 be paid, unless
desired, before the maturity of the loan,
thirty years from its date. Among the
holders of stock are parties occupying high
places in the legislation of public and ma
tional affairs. They deny, however, its ac-
ceptance, till after all needed and possible
legislation had been made and till time
when their action in Congress could not in
any way be influenced by other and pri-
vate interests. During the recent campaign
all reports of the connection Of Senators
and Representatives with the Credit Mo-
blier were treated as scandal, created with
the express purpose of influencing the re-
suit of the election. Since then circumstan-
ces have brought the matter more promi-
nently before the country, and the de-
manded investigation bids fair to take
place with an unearthing of the corruption,
and, we hope, its entire removal BoSton

WHAT THE CHOIR save .sBOUT
THE VIEW BO.v.vRT.

foolish little maiden bought foolish little bonnet,
With ribbon and feather and bit of lace upon it,
And that the other maidens of the little town might
know 1t,
She thought shed go so meeting the next Sunday just
to show it.
But though the little bonnet was scarce larger than
dime
The getting Of It settled proved to be the work of
time
SO when twas fairly tied, all the bells had stopped
their ringing,
And when she came to meeting, enough the folks
singing.
10 this foolish little maiden stood and waited at the
door;
And she shook her ruffes out behind, and smoothed
them down before.
"Hsllelujah hallelujah" sang the choir above her
head
Hardly knew you! hardly knew your were the
words she thought they said
This made the little maiden feel very, very cross
That she gave her little mouth twist her little head
atoss
For she thought the very hymn they sung all
about her bonnet,
with the ribbon and the feather and the bit OF lace
upon It,
And she would not wait to listen to the sermon the
prayer
But battered down the silent street and hurried the
stair,
Till she'd reached her htleibureau, and in handbook
on
Had hidden safe from critics eye her foolish little
bonnet.
Which proves my little maidens that each of you will
find
In every Sabbath service but echo Of your mind;
And that the little head that's filled with silly little
airs
win never get blessing from sermons from pray
ers.

as with herr Are not all his hopes center
ed upon 1t, his happiness bound up in it?
Is not the contentmept which springs from
a congenial occupation in some respect the
same as connubial affection? 1t certainly
is /; for unless man love the work TO
which he applies himself his labor Is of no
force, of little worth. He is half-hearted,
simply because he lacks the inspiration
which enthusiasm lends to every occupa-
ton, even the humblest. The shoemaker
who likes to make shoes makes better ones
than the convict enforced to do so, and the
same is true of every work under the sun.
Let every young man choose his own oc-
cupation in life. In any event, let him
choose 1t. If he has.no particular bias or
bent, let him find something to do, all the
same. A parent or guardian may say:
my son, 1t appears TO me that your walk
in life lies this way" and point out the adj
vantages likely to accrue or that can be abb
solutely given him if he adopts the sugges-
ton but this is all that should he done.
If he revolts, or objects and says, az can
not - do not retort with "you shall or you
are no son of mine." You will live TO re-
pent it. You will wear sack cloth and ash
es for it. Humble yourself little before
you overthrow him. a boy has right TO
his choice. How can you force him TO learn
trade for which he has no aptness except
that he has been seen to make things that a
child naturally amuses himself by? You
cannot you have no right. Consider the
matter somewhat. If he Is a tractable, af-
fectonate, and docile boy, so much the
worse you use his natural affection as n
vehicle to work your will with him, not
seeing that in afterlife he will become a
listless, moody, inefficient laborer in the
vineyard, because you trained him to n
stake, or spread him on a wall, instead of
allowing him to grow free and uniettered
as he should. Consider this matter in some
other light than your own inclnatons.
He will doubtless live many years after
you are gone. How shall he hest perpet-

ing to force his nature to run on track too

Behold the knee Of Harry's pants,
And weep DER Bertie's jacket;
But never mind, IL eyes keep bright,
And limbs grow straight and timber;
We'd rather lose the trees whole bark
Than find unsound the timber;
Now hear the tops and marble, roll
The noors-Oh, wo betide them,
And must watch the banisters,
For know boys who ride them
The very chairs are tied in pairs,
And made to prance and caper;
What swords are whitfield out of sticks!
What brave hats made Of paper!

But what to do with these wild boys,
And all their din and clatter,
