The Power of Snuff.

DIR. Rudolph Won Gardenfeld, chief
physician in the Bavarian army during
the Napoleon wars, tells the following
/" Once [ was gathering plants in a small
forest near Moisen. Suddenly / came
upon man who was lying on the
ground, and whom | at once supposed
to be dead. On drawing near to him,
however, [ perceived he was still alive,
but in a fainting state. Vigorously I
shook him at last he opened his eyes,
and asked me, in lamentable and scarce
ly audible voice, whether l had any snuff
with me2 When / gave negative an
swer, he fell back into his former condi-
ton. [ now went in search of snuff, and
was fortunate enough to meet peasant,
who kindly came with me to the fainting
man, and gave him some pinches Of
snuff. The man soon recovered, and
then he told me that he had to travel c
certain distance as messenger, and or
starting in the morning, had forgotten tc
/ take his snuff box. AS he went along
so violent became his craving for snuff
that he was completely exhausted, an(
had fallen down in a swoon at the spo
where [ found him. But for my oppor
tune arrival, he said that he must surel,
have died

When Times viii Get Better.

why don't the times get better"
This is a question which is frequently
asked.
We think, says the Ledger, that the
times are getting better-slowly, but
surely. And they will continue to grow
better just about in the ratio that indus
try increases and extravaganza decreases.
We were reading, not long ago, about
a great Belgium iron manufacturer,
whose works cover eight acres of ground.
His business amounts to millions of dol
lars per annum, and he is able to under
sell rivals in all parts of the world.
One of the.chief reasons of his ability
thus to triumph over competitors, is to
found in the facts that his personal and
family expenses amount to only sixteen
thousand francs ($3, 200 year, that he
oversees his business himself, and that
all his sons and son-in-laws work with
him, and are as industrious and econom-
ical as he is.
How different the great manufacturers
OF this country and their families oper-
ate. An American with such a business
as this Belgian, would not be content
with living on a paltry three thousand
two hundred dollars a year. His SONS
would not put on leather aprons and
work at the bench. His daughters
would not consent to their husbands
working like day laborers.
No; he would have costly establish
ment. They would all have costly es-
adjustments. His sons would spend
more for cigars and dinners than suffice
to pay all the personal and family ex-
penses of the Belgian iron king. His
daughters would expend three thousand
two hundred dollars in their outlay foi
one grand fancy ball. Newport, Sara.
toga, the European tour, and such like
lndulgences, would swallow up tens O.
thousands of dollars per annum. AnC
IN the absence of the head of the estab
hshment, away on some fashionable tour
the cashier would leave with the contents
of the treasury.
Of course, such q concern would hav
to charge high prices for all it's com
modities. With all the advantages of
high tariff and the cost of ocean trans
portation in its favor, it could not com
pete with the Belgian who, reinforced b
all his family, attends assiduously to hi
business, and foregoes all the fashionabl
frivolities of the age.
1t is not to be expected that anybody
family in this country will initiate th
Belgian iron kings family but it is nc
unreasonable to maintain that until il
dustry and economy shall take the lea
OF idleness and extravaganza, the time
will not generally and permanently g,
any better

Sandwich Island Kings.

4 reporter had en- interview with Mr..
Alexander Mcclure, a former trapeze
performer, but now engaged IN a dry
goods establishment in Allegheny, Pa
Mr.. ". has passed several years in the
Hawaiian Islands, was for q long tone IN
the Custom House there, and was well
acquainted with King Kalakaua long be
fore it was supposed that hs would ever
reach the throne. During the time that
Mr. Mcclure WAS in Honolulu, liking
Bill, the predecessor of the present
monarch, was in power, and the descrip-
ton given of him was in some respects
more interesting than his account of
King David. In 1870, Mr.. Mcclure
went to Honolulu and performed about
a month, when he was taken i'll with the
rheumatism, and when the troupe left for
Australia he remained behind, liking the
place 80 well that he concluded to go no
further. The climate, he says, is de-
ightful, not varying ten degrees in the
entire year. The thermometer stands
seventy or eighty degrees Fahrenheit,
and the climate is one of the best in the
world for people suffering from lung dis
ease. Speaking Of King David, Mr..
Mcclure said : "There was q coffee
saloon in Honolulu, and it is customary
for business men to go in during the day
and play chess and billiards. I got &C
quainted with Kalakaua there long be-
fore he had any idea of being king. He
was a regular native and would not have
much to do with the white people, al
though have played billiards with him
very frequently. He was thorough
Hawaiian in all his ways and customs,
and people generally did not seem to
take muah interest in him. David
always contended that he ought to have
been king instead of his successor
Bill" He is very good billiard
player, well educated. and conversant
with both French and English literature,
and withal something of a poet, having
composed several songs which have been

4 Happy Warrant.

The happiest man in New Orleans l.
said to be Ned somebody-whAt his other
name Is no one cares. He is bound to be
jolly under the NEST depressing circum-
stances. He fights with the dogs over
refuse barrels for most of his food, and
enjoys the fun. After each meal he
smokes q cigar stub picked up from the
gutter. Every night he attends a variety
theater. That is to sag, he climbs on
the roof of en- adjoining shed, from which
through q window he can see the ceiling
of the theater and the flies over the stage,
and hear some of the singing. He gets
a good view, too, of the trapeze per-
formances. After the show is over he
retires to a hallway or a corner some
where, and goes to sleep. Thus he leads
life of leisure, never doing bit of
work, and is as contented as he is lazy.

This is how they treat the tramps
at the Lancaster county, Pa, poorhouse
" No tramp can get single meal without
first doing one hours work Tramps
ouarried all the stone for the new aims
house, and in addition they quarried
$500 worth for Lancaster city, with that
amount still remaining on hand for sale.
The excavation of the new almshouse was
dug mainly by tramps, and they are now
engaged at leveling the ground in front
of the new building, about twenty OF
them being employed at that work. II
they are sick, however, they are kindly
cared for and are not required to work. .

science enables DR. Pierce to extract from the
juices of the most valuable rc OTIS and herbs
their active medicinal principles, which, when
worked into little pellets or granules scarcely
larger than mustard seed, renders each little

That nstarn Matter.

A vexed question has arisen under the
new United States postal law compelling
publishers instead of subscribers to pay
the postage on their papers. Hundreds
of letters are daily reaching publishers
setting forth that they paid yearly post
age in advance last June, and now they
want to know by what right they are re-
quired to pay it anew from January l.
We don't know of any right, says the
New York Sun. Congress has no power
to invalidate contracts, yet its new postal
law does just this thing. OF course, as
the publisher is compelled to pay from
Jonuary /, whether the subscriber has
paid in advance or not, he looks to the
subscriber for reimbursement. We sup
pose, to meet such cases as that of our
correspondent, it is competent for the
Postmaster General to order the local
postmaster to reimburse the subscriber.
If the Post-office department will receive
the receipts of such subscribers from
the publisher at value in part payment
of weekly postage bills, every publishes
will be happy to aid the department
and the public in setting right what il
now evidently wrong and hardship

A Princely SWindIer.

The Pail Mall Gazette says ga

close at Moscow in the person of an ex-
prince, Demetrius Tschawtschawadze,
who has been levying contributions at
dozen of the chief towns in Europe,
London being especially mentioned,
with continued success. The prince
never changed his very unpronouncable
name or his story, after the fashion of
those more vulgar impostors who contra
dict themselves by the frequency and
multiplicity of their inventions. He was

robbed Just before leaving Vienna by a
young man he had unfortunately taken
