Honor to Americans.

From the Boston Transcript we copy
the following item:
American scholarship has again
been acknowledged and complimented
abroad in the person OF Rev. Charles II.
Brigham, of Ann Arbor, Mich. /; that
gentleman having been chosen mem
Der of the German Oriental Society, the
leading society of this kind in the
world. Mr.. Brigham has been widely
known here at home as among our most
Industrious students and prolific and
versatile writers. His acquisitions
have also been enlarged by extensive
travels in Western and Southern
Europe, while they have not interfered
with his success as a valued and es-
teemed preacher of the Unitarian de-
nomination, to which he belongs. His
many friends and associates in this his
native city, aud in other communities,
will congratulate him heartily on the
testimony to his ability that has come
from land of erudition, and from those
who know how to value all departments
of learning; and they will do this all
the more from their own conviction
that the recipient of the honor con-
ferred fully merits it as fairly earned
tribute TO tireless and honest intellectual
work.

Valuable statistics in regard to the
comparative cost of living in America
and Europe are given in the last Mas
sachusetts Labor Report - "One dol
lar will buy twenty pounds OF flour in
Boston, one or two pounds more in
some European seaports, but the same
are considerably less in majority of
the places compared. In Boston 81 will
buy 500 pounds of fresh beef, roast
piece. In no place in England will it
buy rs much by pound or more, and
in Europe still less, Copenhagen being
the only place where it will buy more.
Butter i'll Europe averages pound
more to the dollar than here, cheese
less by more than that except in few
spots. AS for potatoes, they are cheaper
here than i'll England, and dearer than
in Ireland or Germany. Seven or eight
pounds of pork for dollar are sold
here, and not much over half as much
can be obtained for that sum in Europe
or England, and nowhere as much. In
rice, milk and eggs they have the ad-
vantage of us. Tea costs less here than
in England, but more than on the con-
tinent. With coffee it is about the
luOllHn lilC ullltIClCC 10 llLlAG.
In sugar the British are little better
off, continentals a great deal worse.
Coal is cheaper here than III Germany,
and dearer than in England. Merrimac
or common prints are cheaper here'than
in England and Europe. Boots are
about the same here as there, generally
speaking. There are about two or three
places in England or the continent
where brown sheetings are cheaper than
here, while in brown shirtings the for
eigners are better of. Rent for four
roomed tenements is from two to four
times cheaper in Great Britain and on
the continent than in Boston f; in Aus
tralia fifteen times cheaper. Board also
is from once and ahalf to twice as cheap
in Europe and in Great Britain as in
Boston. - Washington Star.

Gen. SCOTS Little Precaution.

The late Gen. Winfield Scott was
man eminently of practical turn of
mind. He profted by the lessons of
experience. He had suffered consider
ably from detraction and misrepresenta-
ton as to conversations which had taken
place between himself and certain
women when no one else was present.
He determined that such thing should
never occur again, and resolved, as a
rule of his life, that he would never
again have an interview with q woman
without having third person present
as a witness. To this determination.
once formed, he adhered with character
istic pertinacity, although by so doing,
he sometimes gave great oilense. We
remember one instance in which very
highly cultivated, intriguing woman.
who held confidential relations with a
foreign government, was extremely
anxious to have private talk with the
old General but he stubbornly refused,
except in the presence of a third per-
son. Would not Gen. SCOTS rule be a
good one for clergymen to adopt? 1t
would save them from awOfld of trouble.

The Seasons and the Death.Rate.

Two eminent Scotch scientific au-
thorities, DIR. Mitchell and Mr. Buchan,
have been investigating the relation of
the death-rate in London. to the differ
ent seasons of the year. They have
gone through with the task of averag-
ing the weekly mortality of the city for
thirty years, and for deducing the NOR
tality for rhirty-one diseases, so as to
eliminate the effect of the season of the
year upon each malady. Taking all
diseases at all ages, there is a large ex-
cess above the average in the mortality
from the middle of November to the
middle of April, when the rate falls to
the lowest figures by the end of May,
but in the middle of July suddenly
mounts up to alarming proportions, and
so continues to the second week of
August. This summer excess of NOR
tally is ascribable to the decimating
infantile diseases during the period of
maximum heat. Thus the British
death-rate, it appears very clearly from
these statistical showings, has an in
verse ratio TO the temperature, rising
when the temperature falls, and falling
when the temperature rises.

Novel Beehive.

About two years ago a swarm of bees
settled upon the residence of Thomas
T. Anderson, at Second and p streets.
and directly afterward commenced pass
ing through the weather boarding of
the house, through sundry knot-holes.
and established themselves between the
weather-board and the cloth lining of
one of the rooms. Anderson attempted
to prevent their doing so by stopping
up the knot-holes but the bees discov-
ering his object made it so hot for him
that he gave up the design. He then
placed a box about foot wide by two
feet long against the wall, on the inside
of the room, and cut away the lining so
that the bees could enter the box and
make hive of it, but this they declined
to do. Some months ago he removed
a portion of the lining and found that
the bees had filed the space between
the studding on the side of the house
for a distance of several feet with
honeycomb. The bees found themselves
possessed of so much room that they
did not swarm the first year, but last
Sunday, when a great number came out
and lit upon the house, Anderson, not
being an adept at catching bees sent for
n friend TO come and hive them, but be-
fore he had arrived they had left the
exterior of the house, and passing
through their old quarters, took posses
sion of the box which for nearly two
wears they had sighted, and now,
through a pane of glass in the back of
the box, it can be seen that they have
commenced work.

Abyssinian Slaves.

"A correspondent contributes the fol-
lowing information to an English paper !:
"The Abyssinian girls are remarkably
pretty, with large eyes and delicately
shaped features. The girls are brought
down from the Gala country by the
slave-dealers from Abyssinia. That
beautiful country, which, had we not
wantonly deserted it, might have be-
come of great Importance, is now prey
to anarchy. The opposing tribes are
only too happy to sell their female pris-
oners to the Arab slave-traders. These
people bring down the young girls In
gangs by various routes, but the prin-
cipal outlet is the Red sea, about Mas
sowa. A great market is at Gallabat,
the frontier town of Abyssinia. There
L have seen them crowded together in
mat tents, waiting for purchasers from
those commissioned to procure slaves
by the wealthy Arabs and Turkish
officials. At Gallabat a handsome
young girl of sixteen is worth about
els, but the same girl at Cairo would
fetch G40 or ESQ. The Abyssinians
are a much advanced race COM
pared with the negroes of Central
Africa. The women are very affection
ate and devoted to those who show them
kindness. Thus, as they combine beauty
and devotion, they are much sought for,
and command high price in the mar
ket. They are seldom purchased 10y
common people, as their price is toe
high, and they cannot earn money by
bodily labor like negresses, being toe
delicate and unable to sustain fatigue
Although they are generally termed
Abyssinians (Hab6eeShed), l have never
met with true high-caste AbyssiniaI
girl-these would be Christians where
as all l have seen have been Gallas-s
Mohammedan race. Many of these
poor girls die from fatigue on the DIES
ert journey from Gallabat to the sea.
coast. Those who reach Khartoum, OF
the towns OF Lower Egypt, are said tc
be wealthy, and generally take higl
position in the harems, often becoming
the wives of their purchasers. In the
Soudan [ have met several charming
Abyssinian ladies, who, having married
European residents, have become per
fectly civilized, proving the race il
capable of great advancement.

A PHYSICIAN Who HEALED HIMSELF.
If railroad director were lashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents and if doctors had
TO take their own physic before admin
istering it to their patients, fewer peo-
pie would be poisoned. DIR. Joseph
Walker, of California, took this course
when he first compounded the famous
Vinegar Bitters, which now rank as an
inestimable household remedy in all
parts of the United States. He healed
himself with this specific before he Of
fered it TO the world. He introduced it
with a simple statement of the manner
in which he mad discovered its vegeta-
bic ingredients and been cured, while
wandering, sick and poor, among the
California tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself, and q
few sufferers from dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases and
many other prevalent disorders, be.
lieved him, tried the new restorative
and were more than satisfied with the
results. In this way the sale of the
Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention
the fact as an evidence that III this age
Of intelligence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove
a pecuniary failure-even though it
may lack the help of capital, and have
TO night its way against powerful oppos-
ing interests. Within two or three
months after its introduction, the arti-
Gle became self-supporting, and it now
yields magnificent annual revenue.

THE other day, over in Washoe Val

a mighty host, sounded his trumpet
and came marching down across the
foothills toward Watkins barley field.
Watkins heard him coming-heard the
crashing of mandibles, the clashing of
wing. sheaths, and the rasping together
of serrated things-heard, but was not
dismayed. He took down his Babcock
fire extinguisher-gave it a churn or
two-strapped it upon his back, and
went up against the enemy, wearing
upon his countenance snub of deris-
ion. When he met the advancing army
