Secretary Robertson has had mechanics
discharged from the navy yards in great
numbers on the pretense that Congress
will not appropriate money to pay them
In the mean tin the shops of John Roach
and other favored'contractors are running
on Government work which IL done at a
great profit to the contractors and an
equivaleat loss to the Government In
the matter of repairs especially, it ID safe
to say that work done IN private shops
costs the United States four times as much
as it would cost in the navy-yards under
an economical administration of affairs.
In these times mechanics can be engaged
for private Embellishments at very low
wages, but 1t is certain that the Govern
ment has to pay at full rates for every
days WORK done, and careful scrutiny
by competent experts into the coats Of
Government repairing done BY private
firms would doubtless lead to curious re-
suits. II Is a fine thing to bs on good
terms with heads of Departments under
this Administration Men so sltuated
are always provided for, ne matter what

are turned out into the cold in order 70

An enterprlsing farmer IN Vermont
once clerk, relates his experience in the
following communication to the New,
England Farmer. - 81 = $50
Seven years -agoI bought a farm of 45O
acres for $12 600; the stock and tools cost
me So 900 more had $1,000 to pay
down, which left me IN debt SIS 900. The
first year kept cash accouRJ and found
my receipts 5000 per month and my eX-
penses about 500, including interest and
help The first year 1 paid two notes
both before they were due, and IN each
they became due, and got some discount
by doing so. l should have said in the
first place that | had dairy of forty cows,
and sugar bush of / 600 trees. From
these two sources L received most of my
money, though I ssld q few teas. of hay,
feW=bushels=Oats, corn, beans,l potatoes
and apples. also raised some pork to
sell each year, and occasionally . fat COW
or a yoke of oxen, when they were no
longer useful FOR the dairy or the yoke.
From seven colonies OF bees received
steady income and increased my stock
each year. -.4Aeg-a assL -.a
Bat without going into details, 1 will
say that at the end of six yaars sold my
farm back tothe man of whom i bought
it.-He had been West, and came back
Thoroughly homesiek, and wanted his old
home. In no one of the six years did !
clear less than $500. Now take my $2,-
600 and my age. thirty years, and sup
pose that should live to the allotted age
of man, (threejseQre years and ten,l and
each year add $500 and interest 81 SIX per
cent and thlnk it will compare favorably
with the profits of any Of the professions !
do not say that 1 have not made more
than $500 year; but l do say that this

Some of the glitter and show Of our city
and village cousins, which has SO long
dazed the country youth, has been sadiy
damned by recent events IN our CONNER
cial cities and manufacturing towns, and
some journeymen, clerks, &c, who have
for years had large salanes or wages, are
now looking forward to . hard winter
without employment or work, Wlth fear
and trembling. The price of the farmers
produce may be somewhat lessened by
these business crashes, but he knows
nothing ofihe dread of being 'outof work

How One Woman saved Her Hus-
band, buA -e .


A Hamilton man, who fell few years
ago into dissolnte habits, and passed most
of his time in lounging about bar-rooms
while his family suffered for the necessa-
ries of life, was startled not long ago by
the entrance of his wife into saloon on
Basin street, where he sat playing cards
with party of boon companions, The
woman took no notice Of her husband, but
boldly walked up TO the counter and
called for glass of beer. Turning to the
crowd. she said, {" come, gentlemen, and
have drink with mel If beer is good
for men, it certainly ought to be for
women" and though the crowd was lit
tie startled, as representative bummers,
none OF them, except the husband, were
unprepared to accept the invitation. The
drink was disposed of, when the lady
ordered second for the crowd, but made
q wry face as she struggled to get through
with It. Setting her half emptled glass on
the counter, she said, Il don't believe l
like beer what else have you got?" The
woman who ficiated at the bar enun "a
ted the varieties. al believe I'll try Tom
and Jerry was the answer, and the crowd
willingly helped her 70 dispose of a round
of that also, her husband, meanwhile,
smiling desperately, a sickly smile with
an effort TO show that he thought the
affair good joke. Taking seat, then,
al enc of the,dirty tables. she sat down
and said a.aGentlemen, live got some
money here that 1 have no other use for,
let's play a game of seven up, at two dol
lars game 2" And somebody pl=ysd
with and at the same time instructed her
In the game, and she lost, of course, but
manfnlly " paid every time, and as often
treated the crowd as she lost Finally as
her utterance became thick, and her head
rolled to either side, and her conversation
grew maudlin, her husband was able to
stand it no longer. He rose from his seat
and induced her to accompany him home.
and arm in arm they started. Whatever
of good the lesson may continue to work.
it has certainly effected something toward
his reclamation, for he has not been seen
In any bar-room in Hamilton since.-CIn-
