Lucky Numbers.

There is a widel spread tendency to
believe in lucky numbers. The mysti-
cal properties Of numbers, and the doc
trine of chances, have both something
to 90 with this matter. Card-players
have number of crotchets of this kind
-"luck under the deuce" bad luck
under the nine of diamonds, an even
number for the trump card One theo-
ry SAYS that even numbers are unlucky,
because each can be divided into two,
thereby denoting death and dissolution.
One nation made the year consist OF 359
days, in order that it should not divide
into II equal months. Some OF the ear
" christians pronounced for odd num-
bers, because God is in 3, and because
He made holy the 7th day. The num-
Der 7 and its multiplies were on other
grounds made lucky; because a human
being sheds his teeth at 7, becomes a
youth at twice 7, a man at thrice I, and
reaches his grand climacteric at nine
times I. In some parts OF England,
the housewives put their hens on an odd
number of eggs, because, with an even
number, they fear there would be no
chicks. The current year of our Lord
is always lucky number in the estima'
ton of some persons. Addison SAID,
in the Spectator Il have been told
of certain jealous dissenter, who, be-
ing a great enemy to popery, and be.
lieying that bad men are the most for
inmate in the world. will Law two to one
on the number 666 against any other
number, because, says he, it is the
number of the beast. This mystical
number has played a great part in luck
speculations. Some Apocalyptic inter-
prefers will have it that 666 is the pope
himself, while, on the other hand, Ro-
man Catholic journalist has recently
striyen to show that if Bismarck were
spelled Bismarck, it would be exactly
equivalent to 666. Number three is
greatly in favor of luck; school boys
insist that the third time will be fair, or
will result in success. There is an old
superstition or maxim, call it which we
NAV, that three handfuls of sand on a
dead body are as good as funeral.
The Romans had notions about the
breadth of camp fosse measuring an
odd number of feet; the holding OF
markets at intervals of an odd number
of days; the taking Of the census at In
tervais of an odd number OF years the
dining at a triclinium or three-slded
table; the graces being three, the furief
three; and the muses. seven. GreeR
cities had an odd number of gates. The
French peasantry have knack of max
ing out lucky and unlucky years fol
great personages, by adding together
the wear of our Lord, the digits which
compose that number, the age OF the
Individual, and the number of years be
tween his birth, marriage, or some other
notable event in his hfe-an elastic sort
Of process, which can be made to prove
almost anything we wish.-Chan'0erS

New Orleans dispatches state that
Chas. Claiborne, late clerk Of the United
States district court absent since the 1ith OF
May, Is now reported absconded with a LARGE
amount of money belonging to litigants esu
mated at from 100000 to $4,000. The La.
Patrons relief company Of the state grange
have been doing good service in rendering AS
slstance to the members of the order in the
oVeriiowed districts. They appeal for further
AID to grangers throughout the union.
AT the session Of the Reformed Pres
byterian Synod held recently at Philadelphia
the committee on the order known az Patrons
of Husbandry and Grangers, presented re-
port which states thai they emphatically and
uneqnlyOcaly condemn this and all other Sc
cret orders az ensnaling deceptive and sin
iut IN themselves as preiudicial to the best in
terests of society, and as a lawess and inefii-
cient way of obtaining the redress of griey
ances. They also recommend the synod TO
enjoin upon all sessions non-lellowship with
members of this or any other secret order
ensnaring Influences Of such organizations.
The report was adopted by a unanimous vote.
The will of John Edgar Thompson
appoints trustees. After providing for his
wife, two sisters, niece ana nephew, said
trustees are to appropriate the remainder of
the net income Of the estate, after payments
specified, or 80 much of it as may judiciously
be applied thereto, to the education and main
tenance OF the female orphans Of railroad EN-.
ployes whose fathers may have been killed
while in the discharge Of their duties. Pre-
ference is to given first to the orphans
of employees engaged upon the Pennsylvania
railroad second to those Of the Georgia |
railroad between Augusta aud Atlanta, Ga
third, to those Of the lines controlled by
the Pennsylvania railroad by lease or other
wise; fourth, to those Of the employees of any
other railroad company Of the United States of
America. The estate is valued at two mil
lions.

The Condor of the Andes.

We can tell you an anecdote about the
condor's power of life. A miner Of
Chill, very strong man, once saw a
condor enjoying his feast on the noun.
tains. He had eaten so much that he
could not fly, and the man attacked and
tried to kill him. The battle lasted q
long time, and the man was nearly ex.
hausted. But in the end he thought he
was the victor, and left the condor dead,
as he imagined, on the field. Some Of
the feathers he carried off in triumph,
to show to his companions, and told
them he had never fought so fierce bat
lie. The other miners went to look at
the condor, when, to their surprise, he
was standing erect tapping his wings in
order to fly away. A bird with
such powers of life continues to
exist years and years. Indeed, the con-
dor is said to live for century. The
Indian tries to catch the condor by
stratagem. He employs him to fight in
a ring at those cruel bull-fghts which
are the favorite amusements in that part
af the world. He does not attempt to
attack the condor openly, for he knows
how strong he is, and he wishes, be-
sides, to take him alive. He procures
the skin of COW and hides himself be-
meath it. Some pieces of flesh are left
hanging to the skin, and are sure to at
tract the condor. He comes pouneing
on ii prey, and while he is feeding with
his usual grsediness the Indian con-
When this is done he comes oiit j. OF HIS
copcealment and the bird sees him for
the first time. He flaps his wings and
would fly but that his feet are entan-
gled and more than this, number Of
other Indians come running up and
throw their mantles over him.

Grangers Cooperation in California.

At the late me citing of the State
Grange, representing 10000 California
farmers, efforts were made to lay the
foundation for an extensive system of
cooperation in selling and storing grain,
purchasing supplies and borrowing
money. BY combined action, they
could doubtless sell dearer and buy
cheaper than they have done hereto.
fore, but there is much difference Of
opinion among them in regard to the
policy to be pursued. Many are afraid
to intrust their money and grain to men
who have had no experience in anything
save arming, and they argue that their
association should restrict itself to So
cial purposes at first, and go very eau
tiously into business, advancing slowly
under the encouragement of success.
Generally the oranges have as yet not
made any pecuniary ventures but in
many cases the individual members
have associated themselves to provide
warehouses and mako contracts of diff
ferent kinds for the benefit of their
class. The oranges are strongly i'm
pressed with the Importance of cooper
alton, and are confident Of their ability
TO manage it successfully. The state
grange recommends the establishment
of a farmers bank in every agricultural
county, with warehouse attached fol
storing grain, and of n state bank with
a capital of 50, 1000, 00O

Is IT. Gomez They said on the banks Of the Nile,
VINO looFed for the worlds lOng-promised day,
And saw but the strife Of Egypt's toll,
And tho desert sands and the mountains gray
From pyramid, temple, and treasured dead,

Ihry tell Of the slaves and the tyIauts dread,
But there was hope when that day began.
Tie Chaldee came with his starry lore
That built up BabylOu's crown and creed,
Aud bricks were stamped on the Tigri5 shore
WITH signs that our sages scarce can read.
From Minus temple and Nimrods tower,
The sway Of the old casts empire spread,
lhrtasonlng faith and unuuestiOned power;
But still as it come ? " the watcher said.
The light Of Persian's worshiped flame,
The ancient bondage its splendOr threw,
And once on the west a sunrise came
When Greece to its freedoms trust was true.
with hopes to the utmost ages dear
with human gods and gOd-likc men,
No marvel the far-of day seemed near
To eyes that looked through her laurels then.
Tie Roman conquered and reveed too,
TIL honor and faith and power were gone
But deeper Old EurOpes darkness grew,
As wave after wave the Goth came on.
The gown was learning, the sword was law,
The people served in the OXen's stead
But ever some CLEAN the watchers saw,
And evermOf Is II come ? they said.
Poet and seer that question caught
Above the din Of iife's fears and frets,
1t marched with letters, it toiled with thought
Through schools and crCeds that the world 70
gets;
And statesmen trINe aud priests deceive
And traders barter our hearts away,
Yet hearts to that golden promise Cleave,
And still at times ais il come " they say
The days Of the nations bear no trace
OF all that sunshine so far foretold.
The cannon speaks in the teachers place
The age is weary with work aud gold
And high hopes wither and memories wane
On hearts and affairs the fires are dead
But that brave faith has not lived in vain,
And this was all our watcher said.
