The women in many towns in
Ohio and others Northern States,
have banded themselves together
to make praying raids upon the
whiskey sellers. Their plan ofoper-
alton is spot a hotel or saloon,
and there gathcr in front to sing
and pray. If onepraying raid does
not scare the proprietor out of the
Business, other and successive raids
ef a similar character are made un-
til the liquor sellers succumbs.
We very much suspect that the
amazons who thus lnseX themselves
are the devils tcmagrant at home,
and that their children are out at
the elbows and knees, with dirt
enough cakcd on their faces to start
a small vegetable garden.

Teaching q Stove to Talk Chinese.

THE Pail MaM Gazette tells story,
apropos of the appointment of NJ. De
Saint Denys to the post of Sorbone Pro-
fessor of Chinese, of what happened to
his predecessor in that learned chair
Mr.. Stanislas Julien. When NJ. Julien
was nominated to the post, his lectures
were given on Thursday and Saturday of
each week, but for the first month his
audiences consisted solely of the stove,
which could scarcely be expected to de-
rive much benefit from lecture on Ian
guage. One day, greatly to his SURPRISE
a large party of fashionably-d dressed
ladies and gentlemen put in an appear.
ance, and N. Julien, out of gallantry to-
ward the former, began his lecture by
translating sonnet by the Chinese poet
Li-o-Tsing. in which woman is compared
to "the lotus of the Yellow River" The
audience appeared to follow the lecturer
with deep interest, and NJ julien began
to think that his office would be no sine
cure. There was large attendance the
following week, and among the company
the lecturer noticed one gentleman who
had been present on the previous occa-
sion, and whom he set down as an en-
thusiastic admirer of the Chinese Ian
guage. This gentleman continued to at
tend whole course of the lectures, &C.
companied on each occasion 10y fresh
party, and it was only six months after
ward that NJ. julien discovered that he
was guide who showed foreigners the
sights of Paris, one of the most remarka-
bic of which, he considered to be u pro-
lessor teaching stove to talk Chinese.

Missouri, esss ,eos, o47; Ohio, e1,o54, 49,

312,4l7,459 The value OF the farms
in the entire United States in
1872 was $9,262, 603,861. 1t will he
seen that the farms in the cereal re-
gion constitute fully one-half the value
of the entire farm property in the coun-
try. The value of the farming nipple
ments and machinery in the cereal region
is estimated at 100000 900, or about one
half that Of the remaining States and
Territories. The increase of the value
of the farms in the cereal region in ten
years has been at the rate of 40 per cent.
and in some special instances 10 per
cent. Comparing the yield OF wheat,
corn and oats of the cereal region in
1879 with the total yield of the same
grains in all the States and Territories IN
1860, it will be found that the excess OF
the latter was only about 35O0VWO
bushels. This fact alone is sufficient to
entitle the ten States which we have
been considering to the claim of being
the "granary, the farm, the garden Of the
world" The great cereal. region OF
America embodies the very paragon of
geographical advantages; and, what with
its rare economy in structure, climate,
intcroceanic convenience, ETC., we dare
not predict what it may become, COM
mercially, socially, and politically, two
decades hence.-Appleton's Journal.

A Rich Beggar Dismantled.

YESTERDAY an old man, poorly dressed,
limping as if very lame, and wearing
green glasses, entered saloon on the
River road and asked for money, saying
that he lived at certain number on
Seventh street, and that his wife was
very i'll and he too old and lame to work.
In the saloon was man living at the
very number given on Seventh street, and
he branded the old man as liar. The
beggar then said it was Seventeenth
street, but he was so confused that the
half-dozen men present determined to
see how he was made up. He shouted
police as they approached him, but the
men locked the door and threw him down.
The green glasses covered as good pair
OF eyes as were in the room, and no
cause for his limping could be found.
He had his left hand tied up, but they
Jerked the rags off and found no hurt or
wound. Lastly, they fishcd out of his
pockets $38.45 in small money, as he had
begged it, and discovered that he had a
handbook on a Chicago savings bank
with $780, so credited to him. He made
great fuss as they went on to expose
him, and finally promised that he would
leave Detroit by the Pacific express and
never come here again. He claimed to
have begged most of the money in
Toledo. One of the men accompanied
the old knave to the Central depot and
remained there until he saw him move
away on the train.-Det,vat Free Press.

died in the midst of flames. A village of
more than 400 Christians was attacked
by the literates and soon became prey

Of these same villages haZarded a flight
during the night; they crossed the great
river by swimming, and came to me to
tell their misfortunes. "Alas /" writes
Archbishop Gauthier, from whose letter
this information is chiefly derived, Il

being unable to do anything to succor
them. Two or three days afterward l

women and children were spared. And
