seThe Great American Evil"

A Western paper (the Cincinnati Commcrcial)
has discovered the Great American Evil. Itis
ice-water. We have come to use ice in every
thing during the hot season. A glass of water
;s not considered fit to drink unless its temper
ature has been reduced nearly to the freezing
mint with ice. Even tea, which our grand
mothers took piping hot, must now be cooled
until it makes the teeth chatter. Wines and
champagnes must be subjected to the same pro-
cess before they are taken into the stomach ;
and any bar in the city that did not keep a
liberal supply of ice, to be grated into mixed
drinks and whiskey straight, would soon be
without customers.
It is universal evil. Everybody takes it, if
not in fluid, then in solid form. Ice cream,
and orange, and lemon and other ices, made
palatable by the confectioner, are literally
shovelled into the American stomach. man
does not feel comfortable when the thermometer
is fooling among the nineties unless he keeps
his stomach at the temperatul Of an iceburg.
Now the testimony of medical men touching
the effect of this tremendous ice-drift into the
American stomach is that it cracks the enamel
of the teeth, circumstance which accounts for
the number and proficiency of American
dentists weakens the coats Of the stomach,
destroys its digestive powers, and produces
irritability of temper among men, and no end
of domestic infelicity. Dyspepsia, our acknowl.
edged national disorder, and the long train of
physical ills that attend it, with thinness of
flesh, pinched features, and that characteristic
nervousness which marks the American from
people of other lands, and which is popularly
attributed to the climate, and overstraining of
the powers of mind and body, are largely due
to an Incorporate indulgence in ice-water:
Enlarging upon this topic with a warmth of
eloquence in curious contrast with the coolness
of the evil attacked, the Commercial concludes
with this fervent appeal to its fcllowcountry-
men-or rather countrywomen
"In view of the great evils of ice-water in
temperance-the great damage it does to the
individual and to society," the teeth that it
cracks, the stomachs it impairs, the domestic
strfes it engenders the quarrels between hus-
bands and wives it begets, and the divorces II
procures, the social contentious, and wrang-
fngs, and hatred, and envies and jealousleSs
that it orginates-in view of all these and
numerous other attendant evils, we appeal to
the good women who have devoted half year
to the suppression of whiskey drinking, to
make an effort to suppress the still greater
evil which is fast converting us into genera;
ton of dyspeptics and diminishing the vital
energy Of the American people,"

-" "N1other, dear, you are liar" said a lit
tie boy the other day, when she whipped him
for being saucy. When the father came home at
night the mother told him what an impudent
son they had. "What made you call your
mother liar, my son?" asked the father, as
he took off his coat to give his boy a regular
thrashing. Because she was She said she'd
skin me alive and she didn'tp' said the young
philosopher. The father put on his coat and
and spent the evening in thought.
As there is an unfinished Washington
monument in the capital of the United States,
so there is an unfinished Wellington monu-
ment in the capitol of England. "The Iron
Duke" died nearly twenty-five years ago, and
found resting place in the crypt of St. Pauls;
Parliament voted & large sum to be expended
on a monument. Most of the money bas been
paid in advance to sculptor who contracted
to do the work, and has left it undone-scarcely
begun. At Washington, on the other hand,
the extent of the incompleteness is visible to
everybody.

A CoNcE1TED LovER.-Alfonso Bombardio
was not only one of the most celebrated sculp--
tors of his day, but he was also one of the most
exquisite of coxcombs. Being extensively
patronzed by the Emperor Charles v, he was
admitted at court, where for a season, he
reigned supreme leader of fashion and flirta-
ton. 1t remained for young lady of Bologna
to administer fitting punishment to this fulsome
conceit. This lady CHANGED to be Bombardio's
partner at ball gi ven by the Governor, and
he improved the opportunity of making love 5;
not even smile. Bombardio looked languish-
ingly upon her, and heaved a deep sigh
THEN, pressing his hand upon his his bosom, with
beseeching gaze and with writhing almost OF
torture, he exclaimed:
"Ah sweet lady, if this be not true love
feel, what can it be ?"
"Perhaps," replied the beauty, with utmost
innocence Of expression, something dttes yo|."
Bombardio grew wise in the matter OF lndis'
criminate loyemaking.

A late number of Halls Jouynalof Heal

"A late number of Halls JournalT Health
contains and article in which the writer says
that "early rising, in civilized society, always
tends-to shorten ife'' From the earlier days
of our country the idea has come down OF
"early to bed, early to RISE" This doubtless
once held good, but now large part of our
work is done in the evening and with many it
is the only time for social opportunities, and
with others for mental recreations; this being
the case, early rising is out Of the question,
and is really unnecessary. BY setting up late
and rising early, is often, as Hall states, fol-
lowed by nervousness, hasty temper, and other
things which injure the stamina Of life.
The English sparrow is being introduced
into the South with the hope that it will de-
stroy the cotton caterpillar, as it has the worms
on the trees of New York and Brooklyn. Ten
years hence, how to get rid of the birds will
probably be The question. That is what they
are now discussing in Australia, where the
sparrows, having driven off the native birds,
and taken full possession, are now destroying
the fruits ofthe colonists to an alarming extent.
"Out of the frying pan into the fire." is not
considered good move, says the Rural Caro-

Weed, 2!,D9.
Wilson, li,Z4o.

The table shows that sales of the Singer ex-
ceed those of any other Company, for the Pc
riod named, by the number of 1l3, 254 Machines,
or nearly double those of any other Company.
It may be further stated that the sales OF
1873. as compared with those of 1872 show a
relatively larger increase, beyond the sales OF
other makers than of any other year. For IN
stance. in 1872 we sold $4,000 Machines more
than any other Company, whereas, in 1878, the
sales were
113,254 Machines in Excess Of our Highest
Competitor.
These figures are all the more remarkable,
for the reason that the sales of The principal
Companies in 1873 are less than their sales in
1872; whereas, as has been shown, our safes
have largely increased.
The account Of sales is from sworn returns
made to the owners of the Sewing Machlne
Patents. .
1t will hardly be denied, that the superiority
of the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated
At all events that their popularity in the house
hold is unqueStionable.

Be CAREFUL IN OLD AGE.-An old man is
like an old wagon; with light loading and
careful usage it will last for years, but one
heavy load or sudden strain will break it, and
ruin it forever. Many people reach the age of
fifty, sixty, or even seventy, measurably. free
from most of the pains and infirnlties of age,
CHEEKY in heart and sound in health, ripe in
wisdom and experience with sympathics mel
lowed by age. and with reasonable prospects
aud opportunities for continued usefulness IN
the world for a considerable time. Let such
persons be thankful. An old constitution is
like an old bone-broken with ease, mended
with difficulty. A young tree bends to the
gale an old one snaps and falls before the
Blast. A single hard lift; an hour Of heating
work and evening of exposure to rain or
damp; a severe chill; an excess of food; the
unusual indulgence Of any appetite or passion
sudden fit of anger; an improper dose OF
medicine-any of these, or other similar things,
may cut off valuable life in an 9 hour IAN. and
ment but shapeles wreck.-Populor Science

FoRTY-EIGHT MILES OF FEATHERs.-A
correspondent of the New York World de-
scribes the great pigeon roost of lS74,Tin a
Michigan county. The number of birds is
almost fabulous, and is said to exceed any
similar gathering recorded in the traditions of
hunters. They occupy wooded tract sixteen
miles long and three wide, and every bough is
occupied by dozen nests and a hundred birds.
The air is thick with the goings and comings
of ceaseless wings from dawn to dark. I'm
agine fifty square miles of pigeons, and you
have the scene Nearly four hundred men
have been engaged for six weeks trapping them
without cessation, but the wholesale slaughter
makes no perceptible inroads on the countless
millions whose wings obscure the very sky
There are three regular flights" a day
two ''tonl-hights" and one chen flight" The
male birds 20 away for a breakfast of seeds
and berries at early dawn, and return about
eight o'clock Towards nine o'clock the hens
take their flight. and at this time the scene is
indescribable 1t is feathers everywhere. In
the middle of the afternoon the females re-
turn, each to her nest, relieving the incubating
male, who forthwith departs to make an even
ing of it. These regular flights occur daily,
with an unanimity Of action and evenness of
speed that is astonishing. They tower up in
great armies until the sky is black. When
they return every member of the countless
squadrons flies directly and, without difficulty,
to its faithful mate.
The birds for market are chiefly caught with
nets. A free-lunch is first offered on a certain
patch of ground for several days in succession,
until the battalions are sufficiently dense, and
regular in their visits and then the slaughter
begins. At every spring of the net the earth
is covered with carpet of dark blue-the ILL
fated, imprisoned pigeons. The biggest catch
of the year thus far at one spring of the net
was eight hundred. The poor birds are then
packed into barrels, and shipped away to ap-
pease the appettes of the lovers of game.

AMONG THE CoMPANlEs.-Th editor OF
Sawards Coal Trade ,jourHa2 has recently
been in this region The following notes
gathered here are clipped from his paper
and will be found intcresting:
THE NEW CENTRAL COAL COMPANY,
Whose mines are located in the Georges
Creek region, Allcgany county, MARYLAND,
figures on our tonnage reports as second i'll
the rank of producers in this region. The
extent OF the property already developed as
containing the fourteen fool vein consists OF
Midlothian, go acres, which they have hcen
working about three wears. The Bic Vein,
2l5 acres, which they have but lust opened
out, (thc leased lands being nearly worked
out,) and the kooutZ, SJ4 acres, being as
flnc Il body of the fourteen foot vein as
there is III the region. This is only lust
proved, and to develop it, a tramWay two
miles in length is being constructed at Il cost
OF S60OOO, to be completed about the 18th
OF August. At present this company is
sending out about 300 tons daily, and next
year when the koOntz work is opened No,
1t alone is expected 10 give them 1000 tons
daily. To draw their cars from the KOontz
property to the G. & T. Railroad, a l0c0mo-
tive engine, weighing twelve tons has been
contracted Tor with the National LOCOnlO-
tive Works, Connelisyille, Pa. The prop
critics OF this company amount to total OF
j,i2l acres, of which the above have been
opened and proved, In 1878 the production
was 2S5, lA6 tons, besides purchases from
other companies OF G0,G00 tons 70 May
10th, this year, they had done 15,t65 tons.
Their coal is sold to all the LEADING railway
companies, steamships, and manufacture 5
on the Atlantic coast, being shipped in good
order at Georgetown, Alexandria, or Balti-
more, and to supply the local trade in this
vicinity they have wharyes at Hobollen.

Is located near the town of Frostbur~, Nd,
on the line OF the c. " F. X. r., about 10
miles from Cumberland, in the heart of the
