That Chicago has fully recovered from
the effects of the great fire is shown by
the statistics of the business done during
the past year. The aggregate is $780,
100000, while that of 1872 was $780,
500, 900, and that of 1870, which was
the year before the fire, was only s4O2,-
100000. At the time of the calamity,
many people professed to believe that
Chicago would never recover from the
blow. These figures not only prove how
entirely they were mistaken. but afford
convincing evidence of the vitality not
only of a single community, but of the
whole nation. Had not the country been
prosperous to most gratifying degree,
Chicago could not have been reconstruct
ed in the short time in which the work
has been accomplished, and certainly
could not have done a business during
the past year exceeding that of 1870 by
l5b, 0UU,UUO.
1t appears that the Appropriations
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives has about come to the conclusion
that the most that can be done in the
way of cutting down expenditures is to
take off S20,OOO.OOO So far so good;
but two things must be remembered:
First. that this amount will pass the
committee much more readily than it
will pass the House, where nearly every
member will have one item that he will
want to preserve; and, second, that there
will still remain a necessity for taxation,
which the House will have to meet, and
which it ought to meet promptly.

Didn't Want Any.

A writer in the Boston Times says !:
1.-THE return of James Russell Lowell
reminds me of an incident which oc-
Cured at bis house in Cambridge be-
fore his last trip abroad, and which
illustrates the popularity of English
manners. A Briton of distinction was
dining with him, and, as soon as the
first course was disposed of. Lowell had
his guests glass filled with sherry
Observing that he did not touch it. the
poet inquired. Don't you drink wine 2
Il don't like sherry bluntly replied the
Englishman. The host, blushing for
his guest, ordered the servant to bring
bottle of champagne. That was as
much neglected as the sherry, and the
entertainer remarked: You will find
the champagne quite good, I think. ;
Don't care for champagne was again
returned, like bullet from gun. ~
Lowell, necessarily embarrassed by such
point blank rudeness, caused bottle OF
clsret to be set beside John Bulls plate,
with the remark. 1 suppose you do not
object to so mild a wine as claret :?
Don't like claret; horrid stuff! was
shot off from the square jaw of his
guest. BY this time the hosts face was
as red as Bordeaux, as well it might
have been at such barbarism of man
ners. But he quietly said: We have
some very fair ale in the cellar, Per-
haps you would like some Of that, if
you refuse wine?' Ale, eh ? Beastly
drink! Wouldn't touch it for the world
you know L am very sorry I have Of
fered you nothing you can drink. Will
you be kind enough to name some kind
of wine you would like? Never drink
anything. Think custom horrid =
Strictly temperate Lowell looked
relieved, but kept silent. He probably
thought: why didn't you say as much
in the first place, and save me all this
annoyance p" ds

The Boys Reply.

A Washington county merchant had
a son who was rather fast, and to en-
courage him to do better the father gave
him an interest in his store. The
Young man at once devoted himself to
business, and the success of the firm
was marvellous. At the end of two
months he was intrusted with 81, 900
to go to Troy and purchase goods. In
that wicked city be unfortunately fell in
with some convivial friends, and togeth-
er they made several days and nights
of it, all at the young merchants ex-
pense. Meantime the senior member
Of the firm received letter from a
" complaining friend" in Troy that his
81, 900 was fast running down the
neck of the junior partner. Furious,
be dashed off these lines:
MY DEAR Son: Unless you return
to-mor ew morning with the goods l
will dissolve the partnership and close
up the store.
The junior partner received this just
as be was tossing of a gin cocktail in
the Troy House. He read it and then
walking across the street to hardware
store ordered hammer and keg Of ten
penny nails. Then he telegraphed to
the senior partner;
Ny DEAR FATHER: send, per ex-
press. hammer and a keg Of nails,
which may be useful in closing up the
store.

A young editor of theatrical jour-
nal called lately on an actress living on
third story in the Rue Richeleu.-

stairway. At the first floor landing a
door suddenly opened. and black coat
ed gentleman stepping suddenly out
ran against the young man begging
pardon, he abruptly asked:

witness has failed to come; the sick
man is dying. Will you serve?'
The journalist consented. and, fol-
lowing the notary. found himself in a
sumptuous chamber, near the bed of the
moribund and seated himself with other
witnesses. The old man had no rela-
tives, and made short work with his
will. 1t was ready for him to sign
They opened the curtains to give him
light. A ray fell across the journalists
face. The sick man saw him, and mo-
toned him to approach.
"Sir," be said, 10 feeble voice, "do
you know me ?"

..Do you not recall seeing me at the
Theatre Francais?"
"No, SIR"

Il but did my duty, sir, towards an
old man and invalid"
"Ah! They are rare-those people
who do their duty. Allow me to give
an evidence of my acknowledgements"
Aud turning toward the ear of the
notary, the old man added codicil to
bis will The witness signed, the no.
tary countersigned. and the former,
each noted for hundred francs Of leg
acy, retired. The next day the jour-
palist revisited the actress. Coming
away he rang at the old mans door,
and asked after him. He had died dur
ing the night. In due time the young
man attended his funeral. After it the
notary said to him.
Tomorrow we open the will. Be
there. You are interested"
Our editor did not neglect the inyi-
tation. He attended the reading of the
will.
The old man had bequeathed him a
hundred thousand francs.

comes round, that's ALL


comes round, that's ALL
But there's one thing | neglected to
meution-our gate was standing open
that may alter the case
Not at all-there's no law against
keeping your gate open; there is
against stray animals.
Very we'll; thank you for your ad-
vice, said Miss Letitia and MIR Small
departed with as smiling countenance
as Mr.. Babcock had worn.
But at milking time that night he
made strange discovery; old brindle
was missing! At about the same hour
Mr.. Babcock made similar discovery;
the black and white heifer was nowhere
to be found. A horrible suspicion seiz-
ed them both-a suspicion which they
would not have made known to each
other for the world.
They waited till it was dark. and
then Mr.. Babcock stole round to Miss
Letitia's, and meekly asked to look at
the animals which had committed the
trespass. He would have done it with
out asking leave only that thrifty Miss
Letitia always shut her barn doors at
night.
While he stood looking over into the
pen where the cows were confined, and
trying to negotiate with Miss Letitia for
the release of the heifer. along came
Mr.. Small. in quest of his brindle.-
The two men stared at each other for
an instant in blank dismay, then hung
their heads in confusion.
1t was useless to assert that the dam
ages were too high, for had they not
fixed them themselves ? 1t was useless
to plead that Miss Letitia was in a man
ner responsible for what had happened,
on account of the open gate. for had
they not assured her that circumstance
did not alter the case? 1t was useless
to say that she had no right to keep
the cows in custody, for had they not
counseled her to do SO? As to going
to law about it, would they not thus
become the sport OF the whole town?
He that diggeth pit, he himself
shall fall into it. said Miss Lctitia, who
read what was passing in their minds
as well as if they had spoken, for the
light of Isaac's lantern fell full on their
faces. However, on one condition |
will free the cows and forgive you the
the debt
What is that p Both thought the
question, but did not ask it.
The condition is, that you promise
to put good new fence in place of the
old one that separates your estates, di-
viding the cost between you. and that
henceforth you will live together peace
ably SO far as in you lies. Do you
promise p
Yes muttered both, in voice
scarcely audible.
Shake hands upon it, then," said
Miss Letitia.
They did SO.
Now let the COWS out, Isaac; it's
time they we're milked, said She And
the two men went away driving their
COWS before them, and q shame-faced
a. greatly in contrast to the look of
triumph with which they had quilted
her presence.
The fence was built, and the strife
ceased when the cause was removed.
but it was long before Miss Letitia's
part in the affair came to the public
ear; for che herself maintained strict
silence concerning it, and enjoined the
same upon her man-servant, Isaac.
