The Doom of England.

Now, let us face boldly and state IN
the plainest language what the indus
trial decadence of our country, wheth-
er it will come sooner or later, Will mean
when it begins. Statistics are I'M
necessary here; they cannot be precise.
and might give rise to useless contro-
versy on Details 1t will mean that we
shall lose one foreign market after an
other; that we shall gradually cease to
manufacture for other manufacturing
countries; then that those countries, at
ter supplying themselves, will meet us
and beat us in neutral markets; finally,
that we shall be reduced to the supply
of our own demand-possibly to secure
even that market by recurrence to a
protectionist policy. This will be a
terrible REVERSE momentous, and, 1T
may be, a miserable change. 1t must
involve vastand grave metamorphosis;
it may, but it need not, involve ruin.
The extent and depth of suffering we
shall have to undergo during the sad
progress and the weary struggle will
pend upon how soon and how distinctly
we recognize the coming revolution, and
how wisely and courageously we meet
it, The great, ultimate, naked fact we
have TO look at is this: The home de-
mand for ouriron, cotton, wooden goods,
etc, may be about one-third of the
whole; we manufacture mainly for for
eign consumption. About one-third of
our artisan population, therefore, must
cease to be-or to remain. That vast
proportion of ourimports which is now
paid for by our millions of exports will
have to be foregone, or to be purchased
by other funds. To speak broadly, the
population of these islands, which is
now maintained by agriculture, COM
merce and manufactures, will have to be
maintained by agriculture and com
merce almost alone. We shall, there
fore, only be able to support 100000
people, instead of 0,000, 600 as at pres
ent. England will become a second
Holland, greater, richer, more power
full than the first. But she may be a
prosperous and happy holland still, if
she only sees her destiny in time, and
girds up her loins to meet it as a great
nation should. Contemporary eUietC.

Those Old Shoes.

The Nashville Union relates this lit
tie story " A Nashville youth asked
his sweetness to go out co some enter
tainment with him, but she declined on
the ground that her shoes were out of
repair, whereupon the young man of
fered to have them mended IL she would
send them around the next day. A lady
friend. who overheard the conversation,
secured a well-worn pair of brogans be-
longing to her cook, and had them con-
veyed to the enamored young man early
the next morning. The latter was as
tonished, as he had been under the i'm
preston that his dulciana was the pos
SCISSOR of the neatest foot in Nashville
(or pair of them for that natter. but
bravely concealing his feelings of bitter
disappointment, he took them to the
nearest shoemaker and left them, with q
request that they be mended at once.
After the shoes had been repaired the
Young man escorted them TO the home
of the dear one of his heart, expecting
TO be overwhelmed with thanks. On
the contrary, half an hour of glib talk
ing on his part was required in order to
convince the young lady that he had no
intention of insulting her"

Desperate Battle Between Rhinoceros
and an Elenhant.

The great show of old John ROBIN
son was. at last accounts, making the
tour of the southern river towns, belhg
Transported in n fleet of small steam
boats. As the fleet was lying off Wyan-
dotte. West Virginia, a fierce encounter
took place between a double-horned
rhipoceros and the monster elephant,
old Emperor. The persons on board
the steamer containing these animals,
raised cry of distress, and the masters
of the other boats came TO their relief
aud took them off AS they reached
that portion of the main deck just off
the boilers. horribly sickening sight
met their view. Wounded, bleeding,
and horribly lacerated men were lying
where they had been stricken down by
the terrible brutes dead, wounded and
dying horses and ponies strewed the
deck in every direction cages destroy
ed and literally smashed into frag-
ments were scattered among the dead,
wounded and dying, and the terrible
din. shrieks, grunts and groans plainly
told them that the battle was still
fiercely raging. 4 total destruction of
almost every cage on the boat seemed
imminent. All efforts proved unavail-
ing to seperate the savage denizens of
the forest. At this junctme loud
crash was heard, and the two cages con-
tanning the monster sea-lions and Lab
rador seals were driven overheard. An
effort was made to separate the animals,
which proved in vain. After this they
were fired on without effect. The
situation was getting each moment more
dangerous for all on board, and the pro-
prietors were in despair of all hope,
when it occurred to manager John f.
Robinson to open the steam pipes and
deluge them with steam. The engineer
quickly turned on the steam, and as it
suddenly escaped from the boilers with
a terrific roar, a shrill trumpeting
screech was heard from the elephant,
such as they always utter in crying for
mercy when conquered in their native
wilds. Whether the animal had re-
ceived its death blow from the rhinoc-
eros or was frightened into submission
by the steam, could not be ascertaincd
until it had cleared away, which 1T did
in a few moments, disclosing to the as
tonished gaze of the Snowman curious
and mt the same time gratifying sight.
There lay the huge elephant upon the
deck, covering tremblingly down, utter
ing means of pain and fright, while a
little beyond was the rhinoceros snugly
ensconced in his cage, quaking and
shivering with fear, where he had re-
treated the instant the steam was opened
upon him. The attendants sprang
quickly forward, and closed and bolted
the floor of his cage, thus securing
themselves from further molestation
from him. Five horses were found
killed, as also were three ponies, and
four more were so badly manned and
wounded, that they were killed, In
mercy, to end their suffering.

COntempt of Court.

Mr.. Rawley walked in, and close at
his heels stalked Bitters. Both seated
themselves the one on IA chair, and the
other on end, directly in front of the
surrogate. Mr.. Jaeger looked at the
dog with the solemn eye of surrogate
and shook his head as only surrogate
can shake it.
Are you the witness % inquired he
of the dogs master.
CT am, sir" replied Mr.. Rawley
" was subponaed to testify"
What's that animal doing here ?"
demanded the surrogate.
"Nothing," replied Mr.. Rawley
"He comes when l comes. He goes
when / goes.
"rhe animal must leave the court.
It's contempt of court TO bring him
here, said Mr.. Jaeger, angrily. " Re
move him instantly"
Mr.. Rawley had frequently been in
attendance at the police courts, and
once or twice had a slight taste OF the
sessions so that he was not as much
struck with the surrogate IA he other
wise might have been, and he replied :
Il make no opposition, sir, and shall
not move finger to prevent 1T. There's
the animal, and any officer rs pleases
may remove him. ! say muffin ag'ln 1t.
| knows what contempt of court is,
and that ant one.
And Mr.. Rawley threw himself amia-
bly, back in his chair.
"Mr. Slagg!' said the surrogate to
the man with the frizzled wig, "remove
that dog"
Mr.. Slagg laid down his pen, took off
his spectacles, went up to the dog, and
told him to get out to which Bitters
replied by swapping at his fingers, as he
attempted to touch him. Mr. Rawley
was staring abstractedly out of the win
dow. The dog looked up at him for
instructions and receiving none, sup
posed that swapping at a scrivener's
fingers was perfectly correct, and re-
sumed his pleasant expression toward
the functionary, occasionally casting a
lowering eye at the Surrogate as if de
liberating whether to include him in his
demonstrations of anger.
"SlaQg, have you removed the dogY'
said Mr.. Jaeger, who, the dog being
under his very nose, saw thu t he had not.
No. sir ; he resists the court, re-
piled Mr.. Slagg
"Call Walker to assist you," said
Mr.. Jaeger.
Walker, a thin man in drabs, had an
ticipated something of the kind, and
had accidentally withdrawn as soon as
he saw that there was prospect of diff
ticulty so that the whole court was set
at defiance by the dog.
Witness ~ said Mr.. Jaeger.
Mr.. Rawley looked the court full in
the face.
"Will you oblige the court by remov-
ing that animal ?" said Mr.. Jaeger,
mildly.
Certainly, SIR" said Mr.. Rawley.
"Btters, go home" Bitters rose
stifIy and went out, first casting a
glance at the man with wig, for the
purpose of being able 10 identify him
on some future occasion and was soon
after seen from the windows walking up
the street with the most profound
gravity.

POnpeii

POmpeli Is situated ab out ten En-
glish miles from the city of Naples, and
at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. It's
walls were once washed by the waves,
but the sea has long since retired to
some distance. Pompeians, on the night
of the Odd August, A. ID. 70, were sur
prised by terrible explosion, and an
eruption of smoke and ashes from Vesu-
vius, which completely buried the whole
city, and covered the surrounding
country with dismay. After lapse of
fifteen centuries, countryman, as he
was turning up the ground, accidentally
found a bronze figure. This discovery
excited the attention of the learned, and
further research brought numerous pro-
auctions to light. Different monarchs
have since lent their aid toward uncov-
ering the buried city, and great part
of it has been cleared from the ashes
under which it had so long lain buried !;
and it exhibits to view the full picture
of what Roman city was, temples,
theaters, baths, private habitations, the
shops of the different trades, and the

RED AND WHITE MUSCLES. -On ap-
plication of the electric current the
white muscles are found to contract al
most instantly, and respond even to
rapid and continuous shocks. The red
muscles, however, require certain
time to feel the excitement, and when
quick, interrupted discharges of cleo
tricity are administered, they assume
permanent contraction. Hence it is
concluded that the latter are involun-
tary, and of the nature of the muscles
of the heart, while the former are con.
trolled by the will.

Tobacco Smoke Good for the Teeth.

1t is only fair on tobacco to point out
that it is gradually clearing itself from
many of the serious charges brought
against it. It has been frequently and
persistently alleged that among other
i'll effects beside death and madness)
produced by tobacco, is destruction Of
the teeth. This, it appears, is entirely
mistake. Instead of tobacco causing
the teeth to decay, it is the very best
thing IN the world for them, and those
who wish to preserve their teeth should
Immediately take to smoking, if they
have not already INDUCED in the habit.
At lecture on teeth, laughing gas, and
electricity, as connected with the dem
tai surgery, delivered last month in Lon
don by Mr.. Thomas Brown, the lecturer
observed that it was popularity consid-
cred that the practice of smoking dete-
riorated the teeth. "There could" he
added, "be no greater fallaey. It was
true that it sometimes dIscolored the
teeth, but it did not cause decay on
the contrary, it prevented decay on &C
count of the disinfectant properties of
tobacco smoke" This leaves the Brit
ish anti-tobacco association and other
kindred bodies in very disagreeable
position, for it destroys all confidence
in the awful predictions they are in the
habit of uttering as to the fato of smok-
ers. If tobacco does not iDiure the
teeth, but is in fact good for them, per-
haps it does not shorten life, but is ia
yOrable to longevity.

winch Breed of Poultry Eats Most.

On September 1st, an Ohio poultry
keeper took ten pullets of each of the
breeds mentioned below, about six
months old. gave them yard forty feet
square, with a comfortable house, and
kept exact account Of eggs and feed, as
follows:
The dark Brahmas ate 369' quarts of
corn, oats and wheat screenings, laid
COS eggs, and weighed 20 lbs. The
buff Cochins ate 4O6 qts., laid 591 eggs,
and weighed 70 lbs. The gray Dorkings
ate 1904 qts., laid 524 eggs. and weighed
594 lbs. The Houdans 2141 qts., laid
763 eggs, and weighed 454 lbs. The
Leghorns 321 Is qts., laid 807 eggs, and
weighed 36E lbs.
To make the experiment more COM
plete, and to show which lot gave the
most profit. including both eggs and
flesh, we have supposed the fowls to be
dressed and so d at the end of six
months at 20 cents per h.; also that the
eggs are worth a cents per doz. 1.-TWO
cents each), and that the cost of the
feed was % cents per quart, or so cents
per bushel. The figures would then be:
