REDUCr1oN OF VALUE IN CHEMICALS
The hydrate of chloral, which in 1869
cost $50 pound, SO that each sleep
produced by it could be reckoned at
81, is now advertised on the list OF q
German chemical factory at about 81 a
pound. Such an enormous reduction
in the price of chemical product in so
short time has rarely occurred. Per-
haps the only parallel case is of metallic
sodium, which, few years ago, could
not be had for 5000 pound, but can
now be made for IS cents. According
to DR.. Richardson, the secret use OF
chloml in England has become so great
that the victims must be put in the
same class us the opium. eaters. In
proof Of the enormous consumption, he
states that during the last year and a
half four dealers have sold forty tons,
sufficient to give narcotic doses to &c.
OOO, 900 people-in other words, every
person in England could have had one
good sound sleep out OF the amount
sold.

How He WHIPPED HIM.-A lad mar
rating an account of fuss" in which
he had been engaged, gives the partic-
ulars as follows: "I'll tell you how it
was. You see Bill and I went down to
the wharf to fish, and / feltin my pock-
cts for knife, and it was gone, and I
said, Bill, you stole my knife and he
said, was another and said, go
there yourself? and he said it was
no such thing. And said coull
whip him if I was bigger'n him, and
he said he'd rock me to sleep moth
err and I said he wus bigger one.
He said I never had the measles; and
I said it was time to fork over that knife
or I'd lam him. Then he said my
grandmother was no gentleman; and l
said he dursn't take it up. But he did,
you bet. Then I got up and said he
was afraid to do it again, and he tried
to but he didn't, and grabbed him.
and throwed him down on top of me
like several bricks, and tell you it beat
all, and SO did he, and my little dog
got behind Bill and bit him, and Bill
kicked at the dog. and the dog he ran,
and I ran after the dog to fetch him
back, and I didn't catch him till he
got clear homeland I'll whip him more
yet! Is my eye very black =

Son may still live in the old firms
place."
So when Nellie married, some months
later, she became the wife of Stephen
Holten Somerville. Gradually she
found her duties in her new home draw
ing her little by little from an active
place in the factory; and, proud of her
husband, she gladly resigned her au-
thority to him, finding scope for her
energies in the duties around her, till
one sunny morning, walking over to
her fathers she put into his arms a
tiny, Growing baby, and said, with glad
tears:
"My business cares are over, papa.
Henceforth I resign in favor of Som
erville & Son."

THE NEW POSTAL LAW-ITS PROBA-
BILE EFFECTS.

We have already called attention to
the new postal law, and to the fact that
the amount of merchandise, samples,
ETC., which can be carried for less than
letter-postage has been increased from
twelve ounces to four pounds, and that
the latter quantity can now be carried
for about thirty-two cents. On inquiry
at the Postofice to-day, it was found
that the new provisions had not yet af-
fected the bulk of mail matter to an
appreciable extent, but it was thought
that considerable change would be
perceptible when the public became fa-
miliar with the increased privileges.
Even Under the old law, 1t was said;
the quantity of matter sent for less than
letter-postase was much greater than
generally supposed. One firm in this
city, for instance, makes great many
uppers for patent leather boots and
sends them through the mail to shoe
dealers in all parts of the country, q
pair of uppers just coming within the
old limit as to weight. Now, it is sup
posed, with the reduction in postage,
this business will be correspOndingly
increased, as will that of the large mil
linery establishments which now fill
small orders through the mails for rib
bons, laces, etc., from different parts Of
the Union. There is nothing now to
hinder the later from sending dress
patterns in the same way, if customers
are willing to take the risk Of loss in
transit.
A dealer III musical instruments Wis
tied the Postoffice to-day to obtain in
formation in regard to the law, and be-
came satisfied that he could forward BY
mail at cheap rate. nearly all the
articles in his stock of goods.
1t has also been suggested that tea
dealers could do profitable business
mailing packages of not more than four
pounds in weight to customers in coun-
try towns, who would thereby obtain
their tea at rate much less than is us
ually charged by village shopkeepers,
while the city dealer would secure his
usual price. ..u
If the cost of postage were to be the
only thing considered, tailors might
find no obstacle in mailing whole suits
of clothes, but nothing can now be
registered on which letter-postage is
moi, paid. and the risk of loss, it is said,
will probably prevent the transmission
of many valuable articles in this man
ner. An experienced officer in the Post
Office to-day spoke of this as defect
in the law, saying that he thought the
fee Of five cents for every registration
would be sufficient to defray the ex-
penses Of, the increased clerical labor.

according to the creed of the Spirit
ualists is the sensation in New Albany,
Ind. The daughter Of a respectable
physician, DR.. Seth Hobbs, was mar
ried recently to Gardner Knapp, with
out ceremony by a minister or JUS
tice Of the Peace. The following writ
ten agreement, signed by the bride
and groom, in the presence Of large
number Of invited guests, was what
made the pair husband and wife:
Friends and Fellow-C Citizens, Ladies
and Gentleman-We, Gardner Knapp
and Lamira P. Hobbs, believing that
our hearts and souls are already matri-
monially united, appear before you now,
thus publicly, to celebrate the commem-
Grafton of our union. We hold the
opinion that neither Church nor State
has any moral or equitable right to in
terfere with, or any just claim to be
consulted in reference to, the ARRANGE
ment that our spontaneous sentiments
and sympathies have prompted us to
make. Therefore, in non-conformity
to, disregarding the rules and regul-
ations in such cases made and provided
by what is called o ;iety, we adopt such
form and ceremony as in our Judgment
and conscience seems most just and
proper; and now, in the presence of
these witnesses, and our invisible spirit
friends here assembled, we proclaim,
publish, and declare ourselves husband
and wife; and may God and the angel
world add their blessings.

A WORD TO YOUNG LADIES.
are privileged characters, and, if they
choose to take the trouble to interest
themselves in the habits and ideas of
their sisters, they inevitably teach them
a great deal which is very good for ev-
cry girl to know. Sisters who have
brothers older than they, are very cir
cumspect in their department. In
hours of pleasant confidence they have
heard their frailties Of their young lady
friends discussed in q manner which
puts:them upon their guard. Husbands
tell their wives almost everything;
brothers confide great deal in their
sisters, and between the two some of
us get to he very wise. A kiss or caress,
permitted as sacred thing on the part
of some innocent young miss, is quietly
discussed in those confidential chats in
a manner that might surprise her con-
siderably, and convince her that man.
ma was right, after all. This is deli
cate subject, but it is one of great i'm
portauce, and we command all young
ladies to submit gracefully to the guar
dianship of fathers aud elder brothers,
until a nearer one than either claims
the right to protect them. So fur from
considering occasional words of admo-
milton and careful watchfulness tyran-
ical, or vexatious restraint, let them
be grateful for the wise discipline which
preserves them pure in heart and
"above suspicion" They should bear
it in mind they are controlled by more
experienced hands than their own, and
by those who can only have their well
fare at heart. Though the restraint
may be hard; the motive cannot be
douhfed

Is THERE ANY MOTHER HERE "A little
girl once followed the workmen from
her fathers grounds, when they went
home to dinner, because she was very
fond of kind old man who was one of
them. When he looked from his door,
he saw her sitting on log waiting for
him, and invited her to go into the cot
tage. She looked in, saw the strange
faces around the table, and hesitated.
When he urged her, she raised her
sweet face and inquired:
Is there any mother here?'

A FIRE ENGINE MORAL.

stood silently near an engine, and
learned lesson. 1t was in the line,
out of the way of the fire, but the hose
was in its place, The engineer was Il
quiet, rcliable-looking man, and there
he stood. He seemed to be doing so
little; he said nothing; there was no
running and shouting Fire! fire!
there is fire! put it out! come and
help! Don't you see? Fire! Fire"
But there was the " steamer" in per-
feet order, bright and clean, and it
worked like living conscious thing
Its short, quick strokes were like
pulsations; now and then it seemed to
slacken little, and then it started up
with renewed vigor, and we knew that
far off, at the other end of the line, its
work told.
The engineer was quiet and calm;
now he opened the door and looked at
the fire, now he touched valve where
the pressure was too great, and let the
steam escape; now he added more fuel;
now he raked out some ashes. And
another man with oil t0uched the ma
chine here and there, where the fric-
ton was fercest.
They did not look at the fire, did not
go near, and yet they were doing their
utmost. You might have said they took
no interest in it, that they were want
ing in feeling; there were plenty of pso.
pie who made more talk, and lamented
for the poor man who was losing his
all, perhaps; but after oil, who was do
ing most?
There is story running about which
applies fairly as hint when men ask
questions as to that which does not
concern them.
"There was man in fsay New York
or anywhere) who made large for
tune. Do you know how he made it?"
"NO:"
By minding his own business
l thought of this at the FIRE, and
from all took the lesson of which
spoke, in Christian work.
BLESSED is he that shall stand IN his
lot, in the end of the days"
We want more Christians like those
men at the engines, who shall steadily
and earnestly do their part and attend
to their own business, with no special
talk, but great deal of work.
