\ NEW WAY TO DO IT.-They have
an original way of dealing with extor-
tionate landlords and shopkeepers in
some parts of Great Britain, and the
example we give below might he fol
lowed by the visitors at some of our
American resorts with advantage Some
time last month, the guests at noted
Welsh watering place. became satisfied
that not only the landlords but the
livery men and shopkeepers were i'm
posing upon them by charging exhorbi-
tant rates. Accordingly, a meeting was
organized, which was attended by over
four hundred guests. Resolutions were
adopted to the effect that no one should
patronize the shop keepers and stable
men of the place, and in twenty-four
hours the rates for carriages, fruits and
delicacies of all kinds went down a
hundred per cent.

Madison as a Temperance Man.

Many years ago, when the temperance
movement began In Virginia. ex-Presi-
dent Madison lent the weight of his influ-
ence to the cause. Case-bOttles and de-
canters disappeared from the side-bOard
at MOntpelier-wine was no longer dis
pensed to the many visitors at that hos
pitable mansion. Nor was this all. Har-
vest began, but the customary barrel of
whisky was not purchased, and the song
of the scythemen in the wheat field lam
guished. In lieu of whisky, there was a
beverage most innOcuOus, discriminating
and unpalatable to the army of dusky la
borers.
The following morning, Mr.. Madison
called i'm his head man to make the usual
inquiry, "NelsOn, how comes on the
crOp?"
POLY, Mars Jeems-monsus poly"
why, what's the matter?''
Things is seyus."
"What do you mean?''
we gwine los dat crap"
"Lose the crop! Why should we lose
it?,
"Cause dat are crap ar heap too big a
crap to be gethered 'thout whisky. Las
ses-and-water nuver gethered no crap
sence the wOrl' war made, ner faint
gwine to-"
Mr.. Madison succumbed: the whisky
was procured, the "crap" was "geth-
ered," case-bottles and decanters reap
peared, and the ancient order was re-
stored at Montpelier, never again to be
disturbed -Lppincott for February.

A Social Event.

One of the most dramatic and romantic
scenes of L" Rip Van Wrinkle" was reveal
ed in the Brooklyn Courthouse. Mrs.
Elizabeth Speyer, who brings suit i'll the
BROOKLYN Court to recover S;i0.00 as her
dover of the estate Of the late John Spey-
er, was crOss-eXamined to-day. She said ::

ty wears ago that my husband abandoned
me. | sought for him everywhere four
wears after he abandoned me, was in
formed that he was dead" She then re-
lated the story OF her marriage with Bell,
whom she had arrested and convicted OF
bigamy, and her marriage to Mr.. 'John
Speyer. AS Mrs. Speyer descended from
the stand, Mr.. Speyer's lawyer arose: and
in a loud voice called the name OF Hugh
Z. Mixer. Mrs. Speyer stood amazed and
overwhelmed with confusion. Her cOun-
sci were thunderstruck. and all the audi
ence arose and viewed the old man, who
arose i'm answer to his name. His ap-
pearance is that of well-to-dO farmer

met her after that one day on the street
and she told me she had married man
named Bell. accepted the situation, and
went to sea, which | followed for ten OF
twelve years. | then went to Worcester

During the examination Of this witness
Mrs. Speyer never removed her eyes from
him. She seemed struck dumb witt
amazement. 1t was the first time she hat
seen him since the day on the street. wher
she told him she was living with Bell, Ovel
thirty years ago.
The Rev. Mr.. Cone, who, Mrs. Speye
says, married her, is dead. His son eX
hibited the record of marriages. In i
was the record of her marriage to Bel

The Newspaper Press.

The relation of the newspaper press to
popular intelligence, public morality, and
the stability of republican institutions, is
one of far reaching importance, bringing
with it responsibilities which may not be
lightly assumed or disregarded without
flagrant criminality. The literature of
our country more than keeps pace with
its growth, and there has never been such
multiplication Of books or SO much
book reading as at the present day, thus
exeriing an immense influence in forming
the sentiments and impelling the actions
of the people. Nevertheless it needs but
cursOry glance at the myriad copies of
newspapers which are daily and weekly
circulated the land, and as eagerly con-
suited by all classes because by their
cheapness brought within the reach of ALI
as the needs of the natural appetite for
daily food, to be convinced that there is
no single instrumentality so potent for
good or for evil as that of public Journal
ism. In regard to enterprise, ability, size,
variety, scope, and typographical excel
ton a change has been wrought in news
paperdOm within twoscOre years which
amounts to an utter revolution, as SUBJ
lime in its magnitude as it is cheeringly
prophetic of the future. OF course, aside
from individual genius and energy, this
has :een largely owing to the spirit Of in
vcntiOn, whereby the facilities for manu-
featuring paper, multiplying the evOlu-
tons of the printing press, perfecting i'll
accommodation at home and abroad,
and almost annihilating time and spec in
gathering news from all quarters of the
globe, through Geographic channels, have
been mlrvelOusly Increased. If miracles
were Of everyday occurrence, they would
quickly become commonplace, ard this is
illustrated in the nonchaiance with which
we take up our evening paper and read of
events that have transpired during the
day at London, Paris, Berlin, st. Peters
burg, and COnstantinOple-as thouer
these were cities within hailing distan, =,
and as easily reached as Is one part of the
town from the other. There is nothing
more wonderful in the L" ARABIAN Nights
Tales" than this telegraphic achievement,
and no rejecting mind can fail to be pow
erfully impressed by it, as partaking of
the attributes Of Omniscience, Omnipres-
ence, and COMPREHENSIVE York hide

Mechi on Poultry.

sumner, says (:

fowls consume them abundantly, and

As to The production Ofeggs, that depends
upon the quality and quantity of food and
proper warmth and shelter. There is no
fear of OverstOcking the market with eth

Debts.

1t seems vulgar to esteem character as
based in any way upOn money and yet
that it is so based daily observation
teaches. 1t is very little for anybody to
pay his debts-it is one of the first and
most patent obligations to ourselves and
Others-but it is very much not to pay
them. The man who neglccts, or is care
less of, what he owes materially, is equally
neglectful or careless Of what he owes
spiritually. Debt of any kind undermines,
debases, debauches. Many creatures of
common clay make it a rule to discharge
all dues: they are simply just, and moth
ing more. But you cannot produce man
following the opposite course, in whose
nature there is not an irremediable flaw.
He may be kind-hearted; spasmOdically
self-sacrificing, may have noble instincts !;
but he must be weak and shuflling. with
out principle, barren of the spirit of fidel-
ity and rectitude. He slips on the sand /;
he is.not built on the rock. Circumstances
have made, and circumstances may mar
him. He shines by reflected hues; he
has no color of his own. No strength of
purpose, no element Of power is in him.
The edifice that is reared on frail founda-
ton may be graceful and attractive, but it
is perilOus to its nearest admirers, and its
beauty is for day. To the willful debtor,
Life cannot be creditor. No fine-spun
theory will hide its defects no sentimen-
tai apology will ever set him right who is
constitutiOnally wrong. Numerous mean
fellows have been and are conscientious
respecting their debts; but no really good
or noble. fellows voluntarily neglect their
debts. The true gentleman, recognized
everywhere by the free-masonry> of his
order, cannot afford to owe. Reverence
for himself prevents the smallest injustice
to others, and on the arch of Justice he
raises his Ideal.-Scribner.

Luckily for the sick, the Idea that II is necessary

them is fast dying out. Modern science rccogni-
