FIVE years ago, q. conductor on the
Hartford and New Haven Railroad was
given thousand dollar bill by a sleepy
passenger for fare, He took IL into the
baggage car to change it, and upon re-
turning the passenger denied having
given it to him, claiming to have handed
him a ticket. The conductor put the
money in a saving bank, where it still
remains. The story has often been told
in the newspapers, yet no claimant has
been discovered.

THE wheat crop of Russia in 1875 is
less than the under average crop of 1874,
and the quality Is generally unsatisfac-

from that country have been moderate.

A NEW industry has sprung up in
France by which common chicken feath-
ers are utilized and converted into a
valuable product. The operation is TO
cut the plume portion Of the feathers
from the stems by means of ordinary
hand scissors. The stems are thrown
away and the feathers placed in COM
mon bag, which, when full, is closed and
subjected to a thorough kneading with
the hands. At the end of five minutes,
the feathers, it is stated, become disag-
gregated and felted together, forming a
down, perfectly homogeneous and Of
great lightness. II is even lighter than
natural elder down, and sells in Paris for
about two dollars per pound. It is an
other illustration of the French talent
for utilizing everything.

A LETTER from Russia states that the
government is engaged in vigorous raid
against Socialist societies. Arrests have
been made in numerous places, among
others at Moscow, Fula, Odessa, Riazan,
and st. Petersburg. In one village near
Moscow thirty workingmen have been
seized by the police. M. Rogatcheff, be-
lieved to be a leader of the Socialist
movement, defended himself so desper-
ately that he had to be killed. The po-
lice are reported under the impression
that they have struck blow at the very
stronghold center of the movement,
which will put an effective stop to its
further spread. sartr

1T was observed by the late Prof Buck
land, the geologist, that the bones of cat
tie pastured in the vicinity of copper
works became diseased. A recent ex-
animation confirms the observation. The
bones from the skull of a cow, which had
for three years grazed upon copper
smoked giass, were found thickened and
eaten into minute pits. The lower jaw
presented several hard osseus excres
cences, and the general appearance close
ly resembled that of bones affected by
mercurial poisoning. s

CANADA is supplying all parts OF the
world with artificial butter, which is
made from suet, and America has fol-
lowed in the same profitable track
From one Canada factory in Hamilton
two thousand pounds of this butter"
are shipped every week, and from Bos-
ton a still larger quantity finds its way.
In New York and New Jersey it has
large sale as "genuine spring butter"
and in Europe it figures largely at res
taurants and hotels. 1t is savory and not
unwholesome, being manufactured with
great care from the cleanest and best
material, and is very superior to the
common cheap buffers used for cook
ing; but it is not butter, and ought not
to be sold as butter.

SEVERAL plans of agitating spirits in
warehouse by which improvement in
quality is obtained, and particularly an
aging process recently invented for that
purpose, are under consideration in the
Internal Revenue Office, the principal
question being whether any process by
which liquor is purified and improved in
quality other than the natural methods
cap be used without legally constituting
the parties using them as rectifer, and
therefore requiring them to take out a
rectifer's license. Several artificial plans
of aging liquor have been presented to
the Office, and all cases of that class will
now be considered and decided. Great
interest is manifested in the result, and
several arguments have been made be-
fore the Commissioner in the interest of
the parties concerned.

A CASE was decided by the United
States Supreme Court, the other day, in
which the question to be settled was
whether war existed in this country
April %, 1861. The Court held that
while war did actually exist at the date
named, yet, as it had not been declared
or publicly recognized by the President,
it did net have the effect to work dis
solution of a partnership, of which
member or members resided in New
York and the others in New Orleans.
The proclamation of April IL, 1861, is
not regarded as distinct recognition of
an existing state of war, nor yet is that of
the 10Th of April, which announced the
blockade. The reference to the people of
Louisiana in these cases as to "citizens
of revolutionary States" and in the
judgment of the Court, the purpose
avowed by the President, is inconsistent
with their being regarded as enemies.
The Court failed to state when an actual
state of war was officially recognized by
the United States.

AMONG the recent "Wants" in the
London Times is the following:
/. "Wanted servant girl: one who fears
the Lord and can carry one cwt"
This standard of piety is not up to
what was required in the last century.
The following copy of hand-bill, cir
culated in Peterborough, England, in
1884, will show what were requisites of
that pre-Moody-Sankey age:
"Wanted, for sober family, man of
light weight, who fears the Lord and can
drive pair of horses. He must occasionally
wait at table, join in household prayer, look
after the horses, and read a chapter in the
Bible. He must, God willing, rise at seven
in the morning, and obey his master and
mistress in all lawful commands. If he can
dress hair, sing psalms, and play at cribbage,
the more agreeable. N. Bile must not be
too familiar with the maid servants of the
house, lest the flesh should rebel against the
spirit, and be induced to work in the thorny
paths of the wicked. Wages, fifteen
guineas year."

thousand dollars, merely an act that he could
do, but was not called upon to do by virtue
Of his position. 1t was a purely voluntary
act, but one which required determination,
skill and courage. All the return the cap
tain received was an acknowledged Of
thanks; and yet che was worth ten million
dollars, and the captain had only his pay
twelve hundred dollars year and family"
At the death of Mr., Astor, however, his son
William b. Astor, sent the old sea captain
a check in return for the service. Parton
says that "the love OF accumulation grew

English Envy.

The bitterness with which the London
Standard denounced the American celebra-
tion of the Fourth of July in that city, and
the Englishmen who took part in it, shows
that the large number of the English people
which that influential paper represents never
did and never will feel any real friendship
for the United States. England has always
considered her colonies in the light of lem
ons to be squeezed dry for the especial ben
eft Of her titled pauper lords and aristocrats,
and our country is about the only one of her
former dependencies which she has not plum
dered to enrich herself Canada, never
very profitable, has been spared somewhat,
because her oppression would have resulted
in her becoming a part of our Union. 1t
was only by the aid of our ancestors that
England was able to take that country from
the French. The quotas of troops from the
colonies were always valuable to England
in her wars on this continent and the neigh
boring islands, while our seaports and hard.
sailors were almost indispensable TO her Ions
continued maritime supremacy. This coun
try, if still under her sway, would be an ex
cellent place to which her impoverisheC
mobility" could be sent to hold sinecur
offices and steal for themselves fortunes to b
spent in the "Mother country" and its los
will never be forgotten or forgiven by til
ruling classes in England Exchange.

BE HAPPY As YOU CAN.

This life is not all sunshine,
Nor is It yet all showers,
But storms and clouds alternative,
As thorns among the flowers;
And while We reef the roses,
The thorns full oft we scan;
Stin let US, though they wound US,
Be happy As Jou can.
This lifo has heavy crosses,
As well rs joys 10 share,
And gricfs and disappointments,
Which you and must bear;
Yet, II misfortune's lava
Entomos Hopes dearest plan,
Let us with what is left US
BE happy a. We can.
The sum OF our enjoyment
Is smadc OF little things
AS OF the broadest rivers
Are formed RON smaller springs;
BY trcasuring small waters
The rivers reach their span;
SO wo increase our pleasures,
Enjoying what we can.
Thore.may be burning deserts
Through which our feet may go,
But there are many GASES
Where pleasant palm-trees grow;
As II we may not follow
The path our hearts would plan,
Let US make all aroundus
AS happy rs we can.
Perchance We may not climb with
Ambition to It's goal,
still let US answer "prescnt"
When duty calls the roll;
And whatever our appointment,
BE nothing less than man;
And cheerful in submission,
Be happy as We can.

The essence of justice is mercy. Making
child suffer for wrong doing is merciful to
the child There is no mercy in letting a
child have its own will, plunging headlong to
destruction with the bits in its mouth There
is no mercy to society nor to the criminal if
the wrong is not repressed and the right
yindcated. Weinjure the culprit who comes
up to take his proper doom at the bar of JUS
tice, if we do not make him feel that he has
done wrong thing. We may deliver his
body from the prison, but not at the expense
of justice nor to his own injury.
