Grants Luck.

The New York Tribune, speaking Of
fortunes freaks in relation to Grant,
says: From the time he come out Of
the lanyard at Galena, he has never
been able to meet piece of bad luck.
He frequently trihed with his good
fortune during the war, but never
knew how to es.range it. After cessa-
ton of hostilities, he continued to suf-
fer the same immunity from the con-
sequences of faults. He could "white-
wash" the South and not lose favor
with Republicans. He could quarrel
with Johnson and support the I'M
parchment, and not cease 10 be an
object of desire to the Democrats
Without the first qualification for high
civil position, he had his choice Of the
nomination TO the Presidency. After
four years of consistent demonstration
Of HE unftness he was unanimously
renominated By his party and re-elect-
cd. Nothing he could do had any ef
feet upon the devotion Of his adher.
ents. He sustained the harpies who
plucked and plundered the commerce
Of New York, and our merchants and
bankers subscribed money enough tl
buy two or three States for him. He
quarreled with Mr.. Sumner, grossly
injured Mr.. Motley ,affronted the whole
State of Massachusetts, by appointing
a Collector whom both Senators and
most Of the Representatives protested
against, and yet Massachusetts, dares
not elect Senator except by his per
mission. He treats both Houses oi
Congress as his supporters in them
deserve, and they never object. He
has made the worst series of appoint.
ments in the Civil Service that the
country remembers, and yet Mr.. Ea
ton and, Mr.. Shellabarger do fervontly
believe that he is laboring with them,
even unto weariness and perspiration
for the reform of service which he
has degraded past reformation.

A Texas Astor.

In southwestern Texas there is a
cattle raiser who has lived there
twenty years. When be went there
he picked up dozen cows and branded
them. He owned no land, but was
the possessor of wife, two or three
guns, a few dogs and two or three
horses. He kept watch of his cows
and lived in hand-to. mouth way for
several years, subsisting bis family by
the capture Of game and sale Of skins.
In May 1873 he owned thirty thou
sand head of cattle, duly branded,
ranging over the plains. He has
family of nine children, five of whom
are boys His eldest is girl nineteen
years Of age. She trots around with
bare feet, can rope steer, kill wolf
with rifle or straDgle dog at arms
length.
In the mans house is nail keg near
ly filled with gold coin, while in the
pantry is flour barrel almost fullof
silver pieces. When he sells cattle it
is for coin which is dumped on the
premises. He will not take paper
money at any rate, but is alwaysready
to sell steers for gold or silver.
His boys are all familiar with guns,
horses and cattle. In few years they
will have literally cart-loads Of money,
providing robbers do not make raid
upon them, in which case between man,
wife, boys, girls, dogs and shot guns
the raiders would be apt to get more
bullet-holes than bullion.
The house occupied by this prosper
GUS family is low, built oflogs and con.
tains three rooms. The father and
mother sleep in the dining room, the
girls sleep in the spare room, while the
boys sleep in the addition. The girls
do not know much about honiton lace
or theopera, but they can show nice
lot of cdiues and skin veal as quick as
Ohio women can get up an open-air
prayer meeting.

Census Way.

The last census Of tho U. S. gives
some interesting figures, and shows
somewhat, at least, the extent to which
death supports life upon its peculiar
globe. In 1870, there were in the
United States / 800 professional under
takers, Of whom twenty were women.
The deaths in that time we're 200, ,673,
so to the average undertaken there fell
13l cases. Besides undertakers there
were 1896 coffin. makers, who of course
depend upon undertakers for sales.
These classes together make 5, 361 per-
sons who live by the deaths of 250,673
persons. Doctors and dressmakers
aside, therefore, under our present
method, about sixty deaths avail to
keep one person alive for one year, or
ono dead body is a guaranty for sixty
days sustenance to one person, or one
days support for six persons. Or, to
take another view of the case, II each
of these bodies were allowed q full
sized grave, the whole would occupy
about 202 acres, and each of these
acres would support about twenty
two persons for year, which is bet.
ter yield than that OF the best wheat
field. L.

Plain Talk to Girls.

Your every day toilet is a part of
your character. A girl who looks
like "fury" or a soven in the morn
ing is not to be trusted, however finely
she may look in the evening No
matter how humble your room may
be, there arc eight things it should
contain, viz: mirror, washstand,
soap, towl, comb, hair, nail and tooth
brushes. These are just as essential
as your breakfast, before which you
should have made good and free use
of them. Parents who fail to provide
their children with such appliances,
not only make great mistake, but
commit sin of omission. Look tidy
in the morning, and after the dinner
work is over, improve your toilet
Make it q rule of your daily life to
"dress up" for the afternoon. Your

REFORM AT THE TABLE.--Madame
Loyson, wife Of Pere Hyacinthe,
writes to the Neg York Herald, on the
subject Of temperance, offering her
counsel and encouragement to the
women engaged in the Temperance
Crusade. In the course Of her letter
she says:
"The great American malady is the
malady Of tho stomach. Conscientious
people become dyspeptics; non-consci.
ontious people become drinkers
Bear in mind this fact, that tho appc-
tite for drink is not necessarily made
by drinking, but in nine cases out of
ten il is created and cultivated at your
tablo---in your children--by The use Of
coffco, tca, pepper, pickles, mustard,
spices, too much salt, hot bread and
pastry, raw meat and grease, and,
above all, by the use Of tobacco.
Tho cry Of a dcpraved appetite, an in
famed stomach, is always for some
thing stronger. The use of sour milk,
and salad, prepared with good oil
should be cultivated. In short, reform
your tables il you would reform your
drunkards and save your sons" Nc

A Contented d Man.

A perfectly contented man was
found in California on what is called
the Peninsula, near San Diego, by a
party Of hunters on Sunday morning.
He was breaking wood, not chopping,
for he bad no ak. The man had very
few clothes on, and was working be-
side smouldering fire. The hunters
accosted him, but he paid no attention
to them and continued breaking wood
with his hands. Toward evening they
returned, and found this singular be-
ing still diligently at work. One of the
party asked him if he would not fare
better with an axe, and suggested that
he would send him one. The wood
man replied: "Axe-whats an axe |?
No, don't want an axe" He was
then asked if hc got anything for his
woodY rAnything; what is anythingw
"Money" was mentioned. "Money
what could / do with money!" The
party having lunch with them offered
him something to eat. He st ook his
head. The ono proifered the nearly
naked man his hunting coat. He
again shook his head. As his fire was
out some matches were rendered him,
but hs had no use for matches and
would not receive one. In order TO
rid himself of these charitable impor-
tunities he told the party that he had
everything he wanted, and he did not
desire even conversation or company.
They took the hint and walked away.
The San Diego people want this happy
man looked after. They wish to put
him in misery by bringing him into q
town, clothing him, stuffing him, and
putting an axe in his hands, none Of
which things he requires, being con
tented as he is.

The Sanborn Report.

The Committee of Ways and Means
have submitted q lengthy report on the
subject Of the Sanborn contracts and
the evils growing out of the system in
augurated Hereunder. 1t is moro
general and sweeping in its denuncia-
tion Of the system and the parties en-
gagedin it than was to have been ex-
pectcd in view of the composition of the
Committee and the long prevailing
custom of whitewashing prominent
Federal ofiicials Dat ~ would seem
ibat this day ia about over. Day by
day they become more glaring in their
corruptions and moro defiant to the
public complaints, until il has become
impossible for committee ofCongress
to whitewash them any longer
OF course, the rebuke is put in as
mild form as the nature of the case
will allow, but it is still n singing in
dictment. While it does not charge
that Richardson, and Sawyer, and
Banfeld, had an actual corrupt con-
nection with Sanborn in his transac-
tions, it declares that they deserve the
scverest condemnation for their con-
Trajectory statements, for their efforts
to throw the responsibility upon each
other, and for allowing the Infamous
business to DO carried on with full
understanding Of its character.
But stripped of its charitable verbi-
age with reference to the Secretary, As
sistant Secretary and Solicitor of the
Treasury, it is plain and simple ac-
cusation against all their official integ.
rity, and would warrant their immedi-
ate Impeachment for tho mal-adminis-
tration of their respective Offices. If
'Mr. Richardson is allowed 10 continue
at the head of the Treasury Depart
ment after this report, il will be
strange indeed. A Secretary Of tho

How Nutmega Grow.

An old whaer tells in the American
Grocer, all about nutmegs. The spice,
80 much used in every family, is indi-
genous to the Moluccas, reaching its
greatest perfection in Amboyna. This
island belongs to tho Dutch, who do
not permit the cultivation of the nut
meg in tho other islands under their
control. The nutmeg troe is twenty
five or thirty feet high when fully
grown, with foliage OF rich, dark
green, and very plentiful. 1t reaches
maturity, or full productivcness, at
the fifteenth year from planting
From the blossom to the ripening of
tho fruit II takes seven months, but
as the tree is perennial bearer, there
arc alwnys blossoms, sraen frnit and
ripe on the tree. The yield 10 most
plentiful in tho last four months Of the
year. The average yield per annum
Of healthy tree is 8 lbs of nutmegs
and II lbs Of mace A plantation of
one thousand trees requires the labor
of seven coolies, fifty oxen and two
plows, for cultivation and harvesting.
Tho fruit is gathered by means of a
hook attached to long pole. 1t is
shaped like pear, about the size of
peach, and has delicate bloom
The nut has three coverings; the out
side ono is a thick, feshy husk, having
strong flavor Of nutmeg. This husk
preserved in syrup when young, is a
favorite sweetmeat in the East Indies.
Under this shuck is the bright, red
mace, which is carefully flattened by
the hands and dried on mats in the
sun Ii loses its rich scarlet and be-
comes dull orange color, and requires
to be kept perfectly dry to preserve
its flavor. After the mace is removed
from the fruit, the nuts, in their brown
shells, are placed on hurdles over a
slow fire, which is kept constantly
burning under them for two months.
The nuts then rattle in the shell, which
is cracked with a wooden mallet, the
sound nuts selected and packed in
wooden cases and sprinkled over with
dry, siftcd lime, and are then ready
for market The nutmegs are dense,
emit oil when picked with pin, and
can always be known by their heavy
weight. Poor ones are light and casi.
