r In short it is the SIMPLEST, SAFEST, most

the world We fully guarantee them in all the above
particulars COLTS ARMS co. have spared no

placed by its perfect duplicate.
The inventor Of this Engine had in view, in its
construction, the great need that exists for perfect
Steam Engne-of small power-adapted to all kinds
OF light mechanical work, and that should also COM
bine all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure perfectly philo-

most perfect combustion and to take up the greatest
possible amount of heat IN generating steam.
The second point was, to make q perfect cutoff

radiation or condensation.
The third point was. to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma
chine; all its parts being provided with means to
take up lost motion, that it may be used for any
number of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars as much care has been taken in

THE OLD GRANGER.

while his were high, and his crops but slim,
The charge for freight played the deuce with him
so he growled growl at the trains sharp din

{" have borne you long, and here swow
Won railroads 10 beat, some way, or how;
Twill get up a law, by the great horned owl

And Down with freights" shall our war-cry be
Not partisan crew, nor party hack,

Now gaunt politician came that way,
Oerheard the old mans angry say;
And he gave to his head knowing screw,
And he cried 10 the Granger, "Count me, too!'
With thought to himself, replete with grin,

WINTER.

Thou dark-robed man with solemn pace,
And mantle muffied round thy face,
Like the dim vision seen by Saul,
Upraised by spells from Deaths dark hall
Thou sad small man-face thin aud old,
Teeth set, and nose pinched blue with cold,
Meier mind! Thy coat, so long and black,
And fitting round thee all so slack,
Has glorious spangles, and its stars
Are like n conquerors fresh from wars.
Who wove it in Times awful loom,
With wool Of glory. warp OF gloom?
Joves planet glitters on thy brest,
The morning star adorns thy crest,
The waxing or the waning moon
Clings TO thy turban, late or soon
Orion's belt is thine, thy thigh
His jeweled sword hangs brightly by:
The Pleiades seven, the gipsys star,
Shine as thy shoulder-knots afar;
And the great Dog-star, bright, unknown,
BlaZes beside thee like throne.
Take heart the coat so long and black,
Sore-worn, and fitting round thee slack,
Is broidered by the Northern Lights,
Those silver arrows shot by sprites-
IL powdered by the Milky Way,
With awful pearls unknown to day,
Which well make up for all the hues
Proud Summer, bridegroom-hke, may use.
Proud Summer with his roses sheen,
And dress of scarlet, blue, and green,
Floods us with such sea OF light,
We miss the faint, far isles of night,
And thoughtless dance, while he with Lutte
Beguiles us, or assists TO fruit;
But, like shade from spirit-land
Dim Winter beckons with his hand
He beckons all things darker grow,
Save white-churned waves and wreathing snow
We pause a chill creeps through our veins;
We dare not thank him for his pains;
We fear TO follow, and we creep
To candle-light, to cards, to sleep.
Yet, when we follow him, how deep
The secret he has got 10 keep!
How wonderful how passing grand
For peering through his storms there stand
The eternal cities of the sky,
With stars like street-lamps hung on high
No angel yet can sum their worth,
Though angels sang when they had birth.

The figures for 1872 were for the
twelve months following the fire.
The great increase in the year 1873
over that of 1872 was mainly due to the
increased receipts in breadstuffs and
livestock, and in manufactures. The
number of hogs packed in the calendar
year 1873 was, in round numbers,
100000, against 100000 the pre-
vious year.

A MAN aged fifty-three, residing in
Jewell county, Kan, lost both his feet
twenty.eight years ago by frost, being
then with his family in Western Iowa.
He learned to ride pony without a sad
die, hunted, sold pelts, and supported
himself and family. Five years ago he
pre-empted 100 acres of land in Jewell
county, and now has one of the best
farms in the county. Last fall he put
in 100 acres of winter wheat, riding a
pillow sulky, and doing all the work him.

wife and seven children are happy. 1t
is wonderful example what energy and
independence will accomplish for man

". Mapne,s ReDOrt.

The recent publication of the report
of NJ. Pierre Magne, the French Minis
ter of Finance, enables us at last to
form an idea of the pecuniary losses
which France has sustained by the last
war. The figures which the statement
presents might we'll appall a people less
selfconfident and sanguine. Aside
from the loss of Alsace and Lorraine,
the immense destruction of private
property, and the sacrifice of life and
material, the German war cost, in
round numbers, 81, S58, 100000. France
has thus to pay, for a disastrous cam
paign of five months, more than two
thirds as much as the United States had
to pay for war of four years /; and the
disparity becomes still more striking
when we remember that, whereas our
expenditure was the price of victory,
theirs was the price of overwhelming
defeat. OF this debt of nearly two bill
ions large proportion still rests as a
burden upon France. The fact that
most of it is the debt of the Govern
ment to the nation, though it speaks
volumes for their patriotism, does not
alter the truth that it is, nevertheless, a
debt. Successive loans, negotiated at
intervals between the time when war
was declared and the time when the last
milliard became due to Germany,
swelledthe national indebtedness to the
enormous sum stated. How little such
sacrifices were foreseen may be inferred
from the circumstance that Napoleon
believed his first war loan of $3.50, OOO,-
600 would cover the whole sum re-
quired.
