The Freie Presse of Vienna gives
details respecting DIR. Strousberg, who
was arrested at ST. Petersberg after fall
ing for nearly 9100,000, and of whom
the telegraph has been lately giving re-
port Strousberg is of Jewish. origin,
his full name being Barueh Hirsch
Strousberg. Born in 1923, in humble
| circumstances at Neidenburg, in East
Prussia; he went to London in 1885
after the death of his father Here he
was received by his uncles, who were
commission agents, and was shortly
afterwari baptized a member of the
Church of England. Gifted with great
intelligence and energy, he more or less
educated himself and entered journal
ism.
In 1848 he went to America, where
he gave lessons in German, but finally
realized some money by buying cargo
ct damaged goods and selling them at
heavy profit. With this capital he re-
turned to London III 1849, and founded
several newspapers, but SIX years after
wards he went TO Berlin, where he was
tor seven years the agent of an English
Insurance. company. In 1864, how
ever, SlTonsberg began to think of im-
proving his fortunes, and having made
acquaintance at the British Embassy,
by this means came to know some En-
glish capitalists with whom lie contract
ed for the construction of the Tilsit
Insterburg Railway. Within six years
Strousberg was making dozen lines,
among others those of Roumania. He
had over Que hundred thousand work
men in his pay, and had launched out
into other vast enterprises. At Han
over he established a gigantic machine
factory; at Dortmund and Neustadt he
had smelling works and iron factories;
at Antwerp and Berlin he built entire
new quarters; in Prussia he bought ten
estates in Poland an entire county in
Bohemia he paid e800,OO0 for the
splendid domain OF Zibirow, where he
established railway carriage works
which employed 5000 workmen.
Meantime he bnilt palace for himself
i'll the Wilhelmstrasse a5 Berlin, which
in decoration, luxury and accommoda-
tion surpassed that OF the Emperor
himself In it were to be found works |
by the first German and French artists
Melssohmer, Gerome, and |
others. Nor was charity on a less
splendid scale. In winter he caused |
10, 900 portions of soup to be given
daily to the poor. in addition to 1000 |
pounds worth of wood When the
famine broke ont in East Prussia, he
sent whole trains laden with corn and |
potatoes to lis suffering fellow country
men. OF course, such man had his
own organs in the press, and was chosen
TO represent the nation. Yet he took
from the Moscow Bank, which, he found
ed, 4,S08,000 roubles, and it is limited
that his future is not altogether unpro-
vided for. No greater collapse than
that of ofStrousbcrg has probably occurred
III the financial history of the country,
save, perhaps, that Of Law.

They tell me of a widow of Leesport.
Pa, who got the best-heaven bless
her!-of a sewing machine agent. Her
husband some time previous TO bis death
had purchased machine, promising to
pay for it in monthly iistallments. He
ha1 paid nearly the entire sum when he
died, and the widow was unable to
make up the balance. The agent called
for the machine, and tie widow de-
manded a portion of the money that had
been paid. This was refused in a surly
way. The widow locked up tile doors
OF the house, putting the keys in her
pocket, and told the agent he could
have the machine when he returned the
money, and not before. esShe took
hold of hinI,'' says the account, ''and a
severe and prolonged tussel ensued.
while the children were frightened and
cried. The widow drew the agent over
the hot kitchen stove. and finally sue
ceeded III sitting him down on top of it,
and held him there, while he begged
piteously for mercy. ''For Gods sake
let me go and I'll pay you back
every cent your husband paid meo
Being satisfied, if not partly roasted
around the thighs, she pulled him off
the stove but he'd on to him until he
had paid back every one of the INSTALL
ments, and then she gave him two min
utes time to take the machine and clear
out with it.

In happy home there will be 10
fault finding, overbearing spirit; there
will be no pevishness or tretfuIness.
Unkindness will dwell in the heart OF
be found in the tongue. Oh, the tears,
the sighs, the wasting of life and health
and strength, and all that is most to be
desired in happy home, occasioned
merely by unkind words! A celebrated
writer remarks to this effect, namely,
that fretting and seoldipg seem like
tearing the flesh from the bones, that we
have no more right to be guilty of this
sin than we have to curse and swear
and steal. III a perfectly happy home
all selishness will be removed It's
members will not seek first to please
themselves, but will seek to please each
other. Cheeriulness is another ingredi-
ent in happy home. How much does
sweet smile, emanating from a heart
fraught with love and kindness, contrib
ute to make happy home? At even
ing how soothitg is that sweet cheerful
ness that is borne on the countenance of
wife and mother. How do parents
and child, brother and sister, the mistress
and servant, dwell with delight upon
those contiding smiles that beam from
the eye and burst from the inmcst soul
of those who are near and dear! How 1t
hastens the return ol the father, lightens
the cares Of mother, renders it more
easy for youth to resist temptation, and
drawn by the chords of affection, how it
induces them, with Towly hearts, to
return to the parental roof. Seek then
to make home happy.

CAPTUBE OF WILD HAIRL LEss
HoRsE.-A ingular animal was caught,
few days ago, in this vacinity, by w.
c. Coswar, and having no name for him
we have concluded to call him the
"hairless horse.' This, perhaps, is
one of the greatest phenomenas the
western hemisphere can boast of. The
animal was captured in the neighbor-
hood OF Green river, seven miles north
of Calhoun lie was discovered scam
perlng through the woods, trying to
reach some horses that were grazing just
inside the farm, and by open ng way
for him the animal was soon captured.
On examining him lie was found to be
entirely destitute of single solitary
hair. In color he is a beautiful glossy
black, and has the appearance of being
cast oflndia rubber, the skin is so smooth
and clean that any lady can rub him
without soiiing the finest kid glove. It
seems that lie has been captured before,
and III a wild state, and still retains a
portion of that proud spirit which cap
tivity cannot subdue. We have 10
idea where he came from, unless he es-
capped from some menagerie, and we
have read of no such animal with any
show. He is one of the most remarka-
bic freaks of nature that ever came to
light, occasionally to perplex the casual
philosopher, and to provoke the un-
bounded astonishment OF the beholder.
