The Amended Bankrupt Law.

The principal points of the new Bankrupt
law, just passed by Congress, are as follows !:
Forty days are allowed to elapse before q
mercial paper is liable to be thrown into bank
ruptcy. The assent of one-fourth in number
and one-thhd in value of the creditors is re-
quired to throw o debtor into bankruptcy.
This provision dates back to the first of last
December. Proceedings may be discontinued
whenever the debtor pays those secured debts
which were the ground of throwing him into
bankruptcy, or whenever, with the consent of
the court, he aud q majority of the creditors
shall ask for dlscontlnuance Of the proceed
ings. In order to set aside hypothecated
pledges as liens on the bankrupt's estate
it must appear that the party dealing with the
bankrupt knew that he intended to perpetrate
fraud on the Bankrupt law, and that he in
tended to go into bankruptcy. When loan
is made to bankrupt in good
tention of aiding him to pull through, it
shall be considered as having actual value, and
the security shall not be invalidated by pro-
ceedings in bankruptcy, and voluntary bank
rupt may have his discharge il his estate
pays 80 per cent. Of his debts, or provided he
obtains the assent of the came number of his
creditors as is necessary to throw him into
bankruptcy. An involuntary bankrupt can
get his discharge if his conduct is free from
all fraud andshe is innocent of any violation or
infringement of the Bankrupt act. Assignees
are prohibited from dividing fees with other
persons engaged in the case. Composition
by the creditors may be made with the assent
OF the debtor. providing a majority of the
creditors join, where approved by the Court
for the release and discharge of the debtor
The fees and expenses are reduced one-half
until the Judges OF the Supreme Court shall
establish permanent reduction and simplify
proceedings. all the acts Of the persons con-
nected with the execution of the law shall be
made public in the shape of full and minute
reports from the Clerk, the Assignee, the Mar
shal, and the Register Original jurisdiction
is conferred upon the Territorial courts. with
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the Terri

An Obituary Editor.

Two or three years ago / was attach
ed to the Morning Argus, the only pa
per published in our village, and during
my engagement, we employed as an
assistant editor young man named
Drinker. When Drinker began his du-
ties, the manager said to him
"See here, Drinker, among other
things, [ want you, whenever you see,
in the exchanges or anywhere, a good
biographical sketch of any prominent
man, to clip it out and put it away, SOS
when he dies, you understand, we can
rush it out as an obituary article, as it
were"
Drinker went to work, and about two
months afterward some well-known man
died, and 1 examined the obituary bu-
reau for the purpose of obtaining his
history. 1t was not there but L dis
covered that the insidious Drinker had
stored away In that mortuary receptacle
one biographical sketch of John Wes-
ley, a collection of anecdotes about Gen.
Putnam, and an essay upon "The Life
and Services of John Hancock
1 commenced with Drinker upon the
subject.
Mr.. Drinker," said, after calling
his attention to the article about the
father of Methodism, "you certainly
must be aware that John Wesley died
long before you came into this Office. -
"N-n-no! p exclaimed Drinker, with
a look of panied surprise, with his
face. Wh-wh-what ! John Wesley
dead That great and good man gone
Thunder Why, its too bad. L had no
idea of such thing. What shock it
must have been to his family %
And as for Gen. Putnam, Drinker. it
is perfectly absurd for you to pretend
that you thought he was alive, you know,
Come now, that's too much"
&c Is he dead, too ?" Well, well. The
fact is, I've been living down in the
country for two or three years, and
haven't kept the run of things. And
so old Putnan.'s dead. That noble old
man. Strange, strange, how we are
passing away"
And. Drinker, you certainly can't
be such an idiot as to have put away
this article about Hancock, with the ex-
pectation that he would die again. You
know he did die once. Why, Drinker,
he died about 10000 years ago."
"Come now" exclaimed Drinker.
exultingly, GIVE got you there. All !
all Died 10000 years ago, did he
smarty? You know too much. You
think everybody's fool but yourself !!
Dead, is he |? Now, what's the use of
your trying to stuff that down me, when

talked about running Hancock for the
Presidency at the last election! O,
pshaw You amt fit to write for any
paper that's got any sense"
Then Drinker was discharged.

go down to the grave with the firm con-
viction that Gen. Hancock is the man
who set copy for the miserable penmen

Flowers Blushfng Unseen.

But the man who wants a woman and
not toy for wife may not despair be-
cause he cannot marry the daughter of
the "poor rich man." who leads as use
less life in her luxurious nest as hedg-
hngs do in theirs, for there are girls as
pure as pearls, who live not in luxurious
nests, that the young man may find if
he wishes, who would be willing to help
build nest all their own, where home
duties and home-affections dwell ID
harmony, that the young man need fear
no comparisons, for they will all be in
his favor. Full many a flower is born
to blush unseen" There are at this
time rare and lovely young women, who
are beautiful morally, intellectually
and physically, but you will not find
them IN luxurious nests; they flourish
best IN out-of-the-way places that the
world does not know much of, and in
pleasant villages and unpretentious
country homes, these rare plants may
be found. Have you not met them in
the street, and looked into their sweet
faces-faces which seem crowned like,
saint, with halo of light, of whose
subtle irradiation the heart is alone
sensible? The lips and the eyes are gen
lal with a tenderness which the reali-
ties of everyday life have impaired.
Don't forget how dear the whiteness of
the lily is to the heart, because it en-
blems meek purity. Don't forget, amid
the glitter OF gold and diamonds, pur-
pie and fine linen, which cannot bring
happiness, but, far oftener, a starva-
ton of heart and soul. Unlike her
poor rich sisters" she dresses neatly

hands are unadorned with diamond

CLEAN TEETH.-If you will only keep
your teeth clean they won't decay, The
wonderful dentifrices which are sold at
fabulous prices are greatly inferior to
simple mixture of soap and prepared
chalk, with little something ike orris
root; but the essential articles are soap
and chalk. The druggist will prepare
you enough for quarter of dollar TO
last long time. When you go to bed,
with a broad, soft toothbrush go
through the mouth thoroughly. If
disposed to bad mouth, you may re-
peat the dose in the morning. But the
principle Article for keeping the teeth
clean is a toothpick, soft goose quill,
which you must use after eating, no
matter though it is a piece of apple,
and, if convenient, after the pick use
mouthful of water to rinse from the
teeth what the toothpick may have
left.

A SAILORS TRICK.-Three men. of-war
ships, Dutch, French and English
while anchored in port, were contend
ing with each other for the best display
of sailorship so the Captain of each
vessel determined to send aloft an act
i've sailor to perform some deed of
grace and daring. The Dutch Captain
sent Dutchman, the French French
man and the English an Irishman. The
Dutchman stood on the top of the
mainmast with his arm extended. The
Frenchman then went aloft and extend
ed both hands,
Now the Irishman thought if he could
stand on the top of the mainmast with
leg and an arm extended, he would be
declared the most daring sailor. MINI
bly, he clambered aloft until he reached
the highest point thence he carefully
balanced himself upon both feet, ex-
tending his right hand with graceful
motion. Then he threw out his left
leg until it came in line with his right
arm. liz doing this he ingloriously lost
his balance, and fell from the masthead,
crashing through the rigging toward
the deck. The various ropes against
which he came in contact broke his fall.
and his velocity was not too great to
prevent his grasping a rope attached to
the mainyard. To this he hung for
two seconds. then dropped lightly to
the deck, landing safely on his feet.
Folding his arms triumphantly, as if
fall and all was in the programme, he
glanced toward the rival ships and joy

Individuality of the Moon.

Returning to the serious aspect of
the individuality of the moon, the
lecturer pointed out that all expert
ment and observation pointed to the
absence of atmosphere and consequent
existence of extreme heat and cold,
which are incompatible with the or
ganized life of our planet. Every ex-
animation pointed to the existence of
physical Irregularities. In demon
stration of the nen-existence of atmos-
phere he adduced the fact that the
shadows, which are supposed to be val
leys not exposed to the suns direct
light, are all black. While on earth,
owing to the refraction of light, the
valleys are not plunged in absolute
darkness at sunrise, while ON the moon,
even urder the monday sun, the points
which do not receive directly the sun
light are plunged in total darkness.
Another proof of the absence of atmos-
phere at the moons surface was found
in the instant obliteration of stars,
which, once they pass behind her disk,
are no longer visible until they appear
on the opposite side. This well-ob-
served fact would be sufficient to settle
the question of the existence of an at
mosphere similar to ours. When the
sun appears to sink suddenly below our
horizon he has some time, but, owing
to the refraction of light by the atmos-
phere, he is visible long after he has
sunk below the true horizon. Not
is the moon without air alone, but so
far there are no indications of water ex-
listing or having existed. The diagram
of supposititious lunar landscape was
produced to show what effect glacial
action or water might produce if such
things existed in the moon; but as they
did not the audience was warned against
putting faith in those imaginary pict-
ures of moonland, IN which inventive
people seek to give the characteristics
of our own earth to the pale satellite
that follows our wanderings through
space. If there are inhabitants on the
moon they would see our earth under
which we examine the moon. In pass
ing through the heavens our planet
would not blot out the stars, brit they
would appear as ring of light on the
outer edge of the disk. In the lunar
eclipses the moon is not black, but
ruddy with sunlight bent by the action
of our atmosphere.-prof. Proctor's
Lectures IN Net0 York.
GLORIOUS SfGHT.-One of the finest
sights Prof. Stiner, the aeronaut, says
that he ever saw, was the view he had
of two sunsets, while on his balloon
trip from Milwaukee, He was at a Ger
tain altitude the first time when he saw
the sun go down upon Lake Michigan,
and then descended to the waters of the
lake. Afterward he commenced rising
very rapidly, and soon reached such an
altitude that the fiery orb again began
to rise, apparently upon the western
waters, and ere long he was once more
in full sunlight. Then, as he descended
again, the sun sank beneath the waters
second time, thus affording two sun
set views in single day. The Pro-
fesser says, as the sun appeared to rise
a second time, it was one of the finest
visions he ever Witnessed, and the
spectacle was one of the most magnif-
cent description.

THEN Is WHEN THEY DIE.-Fery
reliable authority says that deaths from
chronic disease are more numerous be-
tween the hours of eight and ten in the
morning than any other time of the day
while they are fewest between the hours
of eight and ten in the evening. In the
case of acute diseases, such as continued
fevers, pneumonia, etc, different result
has been obtained. The largest number
of deaths from this class Of diseases take
place either in the early morning, when
the powers of life are at their lowest, or
in the afternoon, when acute disease is
the most active.

WASHINGTON COUNTY ITEMS.

From the Review and Examiner.
THE new bell of the First Presbyterian
Church, which was brought here last
week, weighs l,0l0 pounds.
AFTER an experience Of nearly four
months, our Reporter friends have
abandoned their semi-weekly issue and
returned to the weekly plan, a large ma
jority of their patrons so desiring.
THE Commissioner of q. S. Internal
Revenue has appointed G. K, Bayne, OF
Amwell township, as gauger Of liquors
in place of James S. Seaman, of this
place, resigned. Mr.. Bayne has not yet
been assigned to any special distillery.
CHIEF BURGESS HAzLETT has before
him proposition to divide the borough
into small blocks and appoint for each u
competent resident thereof, to take an
enumeration of the inhabitants, with a
view of ascertaining accurately our pres
ent population. The census taken in
June, 1870, exhibited a population OF
3.571, while it is believed that it now
reaches in the neighborhood Of 5000.
1t certainly has increased largely since
1870, and probably to the extent indl-
| Gated. if the number Of new dwellings
that have been erected within the Pc
Rod named furnish any criterion. Sew
eral persons have indicated willingness
to devote day to the proposed enumer-
alton. and as it will not entail any ex-
pense to the borough treasury, we hope
to see the matter receive Mr.. Hazlett S
early favorable action.
DEATH OF VIM. J. MATHEwS.-Our
entire community was startled on Mon
day morning last by the announcement
of the death of William J. Mathews, OF
the large dry goods house of Chambers i
Mathews. Mr.. NJ. had not been in good
health for a year or two, but no serious
apprehensions were felt in regard to his
life, and up till last Friday he was pune
tually at his place of business. On that
day he complained Of being unwell and
and went home to'be seen on our streets
no more. Mr.. NJ. was an attentive and
successful merchant; he was President of
the Washington County Fire Insurance
Company, and prominent in many ofthe
enterprises of the town, and will be much
missed and regretted by Il large number
of friends. The deceased was forty-seyen
years old. He died of pneumonia.
