THERE'S a good deal of feeling
among the brokers in Wall stree
about the way Oakes Ames man
aged his Washington business. 1t
seems he sold stock in the Credit
Mobilier without taking note, check,
or any evidence Of Indebtedness,
holding the stock itself as collateral
till the dividends amounted to more
than the price of the stock, when he
paid over the balance. John Logan
bought some in that way, and not
understanding it as well as he under
stands the game of poker, went and
gave it back. It's this careless way
of doing business that has made
trouble; and the Wall street people
are afraid Congressman will be ex-
pecting them to buy and carry stocks
for them in that fashion. They
woo't do It.

The Coming Man.

While our fine girls are bemoaning
the lack of young men and the scarcity
of beaux who are marriageable and who
mean marriage, there is a class of young
men whom they do not recognize at all,
yet who will furnish to the next genera
ton its men of enterprise and power, oi
position and of wealth. 1t is not the
sons of the rich who will as rule, re-
main rich. The sons of the poor will
get rich and there are to-day, drudg-
ing in offices, counting rooms and manu-
featuring establishments of all kinds,
the men who in twenty-five years, will
control the nation socially. politically
and financially. Every man of them
means to be married they will, as a
rule, make excellent husbands. They
are all at work trying to win success.
They are men who would be easily i'm
proved by recognition, and by bringing
them into good, intelligent society yet
they are as little noticed as if they were
SO many dogs. Excellent young men
frou the country 60 into the city and
live Tor years without any society, and
are regarded by the fashionable young
women with indifference or contempt
but these young men have a hold upon
the future; and when their success is
known, in whatever field of enterprise
it may be, the fashionable world will be
glad to receive them as belonging to
their own number. We regret to say
that as rule, the young men for whom
position has been won by virtuous en-.
terprising fathers amount to but little in
the world and rejoice to say that CON-
panions chosen from those who have
their fortunes to make and their posi-
tions to win, are those to whom we'll

Things Worth Knowing.

Sound travels at the rate of LAP
feet per second in the air, 4,969 in wa
ter, IL 900 in cast iron, $4,000 in steel,
$4,000 in glass, and 1857 to 1900 in
wood.
Mercury freezes at thirty degrees
Fahrenheit, and becomes solid mass,
malleable under the hammer.
The greatest height at which visible
clouds ever existed does not exceed ten
miles.
Air is about SIG times lighter than
common water.
The pressure of the atmosphere upon
every square foot of the earth amounts
to 6.160 pounds. An ordinary sized man,
supposing his surface to be fourteen
square feet. sustains the enormous pres
sure of 30,440 pounds.
Heat rariies air to such an extent
that it can be made to occupy SOLO
times the space it did before.
The violence of the expansion of wa
ter when freezing is sufficient to cleave
globe of copper of such thickness as
to require force of 2S,000 pounds to
produce like effect.
During the conversion of ice into wa
ter 140 degrees of heat are absorbed.
Water when converted into steam, in.
creases in bulk $4,000.
One hundred pounds of Dead Sea wa
ter contains 40 lbs. of salt.
The explosive force of close confined
gunpowder is six and half tons to the
square inch.
The greatest artificial cold ever pro-
duced is 80 below Fahrenheit.
Water obstructs one-half of the per-
pendicular rays of the sun in seventeen
feet, three-fourths in thirty-four feet
and less than one thousandth part reaches
the depth of 200 feet, hence the bottom
of deep water is in total darkness.
Assuming the temperature of the in
terror of the earth to increase uniformly
at the rate of one degree to every forty
five feet, at the depth of sixty miles the
degree of heat would be sufficient to
fuse all known substances.

The Richest Men in America.

The three richest men in America are
William b. Astor, A. II, Stewart and
Commodore Vanderbilt-all residents Of
New York city. Astor's wealth is main.
ly ia railroad stocks and their dividends;
Stewards is in goods, houses, stores, fac
tories, lands and stocks. The aggregate
wealth of each one of them is supposed
to be somewhere between seventy.fve
aud hundred millions, which locks
rather heavy. Nobody knows exactly !;
they couldn't tell themselves within
million or two. Those who know most
about their affairs put their figures
highest, and say that the income tax re-
turns OF a few years ago, which showed
each of them TO be worth between twenty
and thirty millions. gave no proper idea
OF their real worth. Astor lives unos-
tentatiously; Vanderbilt lives in three
story brick house on third-class street
and Stewart lives in a marble palace on
Fifth avenue, more magnificent than
any other residence on the American
continent, and equalled by but few in
any of the great cities of Europe As
tor and Vanderbilt are New Workers by
birth Stewart is a native of the north
of Ireland. Astor is a large heavy man
of seventy, with strong features and
rubicund face, Indicative of high living;
Stewart Is medium-sized man, rather
slender and tall, of seventy-three. with
face like parchment, and gives the
impression Of being hard-up; Wander
bilt is tall, slim, handsome, proud
looking man Of nearly eighty, straight
as an arrow. Astor has heirs to his es-
tate; Vanderbilt has children to whom
he can leave his fortune but Stewart is
childless. Astor's public benefactions
are confined to something like couple
of hundred thousand dollars, which he
gave to the Astor library, and the two
golden candlestieks, nine feet high, which
he recently gave to Trinity church. Van
derbilt has never made any public bene-
factions, excepting a steamship to the
government during the war, TIL very re-

POISONED TO DEATH.-A healthy liv-
er secretes each day about two and a
half pounds of bile, which contains a
vast amount of waste material taken
from the blood. When the liver be.
comes torped or congested, it fails to
eliminate this vast amount of noxious
substances, which, therefore, remains to
poison the blood aud be conveyed to eve-
ry part of the system. What must be
the condition of the blood when it is re-
ceiviug and retaining each day two and
half pounds of poison? Nature tries
to work off the poison through other
channels and organs-the kidneys, lungs,
skin, etc.; bnt these organs become over
taxed in performing this labor, in addi-
ton to their natural functions; and can
not long withstand the pressure, but be-
come variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electric
al center of all vitality, is unduly stim-
ulated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to it from the heart, and it fails
TO perform its office healthfully. Hence
the symptoms of bile poisoning, which
are dulness. headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impair
ment of memory, dizzy, sleepy or nerv-
GUS feelings, gloomy forebodings and ir-
ritability of temper. The blood itself be-
ing diseased, as it forms the sweat upon
the surface of the skin, is so irritating
and poisonous that it produces discol-
ored brown spots, pimples, blotches and
other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles
and scrofulous tumors. The stomach,
bowels and other organs spoken of can
not escape, becoming affected sooner or
later.
