State bonds and sales at the Board have been near
minimum few transactions in North Carolina special
tax bonds made at a 3A and Georgia gold

ties favorable, and speak hopefully OF provisions
being made to pay interest as it natures.
Railroad bonds have been reasonably active and the
prices of the best bonds well maintained; Central Pa
cihcs have sold up los, and Union Pacific first mort
gage at 1884 If the money market continues as easy
throughout the autumn as many now anticipate it is
natural to suppose that the demand for the higher
classes of railroad bonds will be more active than usual
this season. the lack of employment for money at
profitable rates leaves accumulation to seek invest
ment in the best class of bonds paying fair rate Of

q Correct Speaking.

WHAT is it to speak correctly? 1t is to
accustom yourselves to speak and write
accurately, having especial care to use no
language or utter no statement that is not
elegant and strictly truthful. Avoid the
use of slang words and phrases. They are
odious, and no amount of personal grace
in the speaker can compensate for the dis
agreeable effect that the use of slang has
upon the nearer. When once this habit of
using these pet phrases has been formed
it is almost impossible to eradicate it.
Youth is the best time to acquire correct
language. 1t does not require wealth the
poorest can obtain this faculty. And how?
By using the language of books-in other
words, that which one reads; form the
taste from the best speakers and writer's;
treasure up choice phrases and accustom
ones self to their use. But do not fall
Into the opposite error of selecting only
that which is pompous and high sound
ing, for that will make one ridiculous.
But choose that language which is terse,
expressive and clear; and the habit of cor
rect speaking soon becomes fixed and
makes it a pleasure to listen to you

Suppose a Case.

'LET us suppose case," said Uncle
Peleg to a little group ''Suppose two
boys live in houses just alike, and
dress just alike, and go to the same
school; so, if you wanted to, you
couldn't tell which was the best off.
Suppose they keep right along together
till they're twelve years old, and help
each other so they'll be sure to keep even
all the time.
: Well, suppose after a while one boy
finds a new friend that tells him he's tied
to his mothers apron-strings, and ne
never'll be man till he can do as he's
mind to without asking anybody. Girls
ought to be at home evenings and behave
themselves; but it's different with boys
this new friend says. Suppose, now this
bad boy, who wants the other to be just as
bad as he is, pulls piece Of tobacco out
of his pocket and tells our boy he must
learn to chew the stuff before he'll ever be
Of any account; and then they try 1t together
till somebody's awful sick. But suppose
that somebody made up his mind to keep
on trying, and, after while his mouth
gets so ease-hardened he don't know to-
bacco from sugar plums.

An Affecting Incident.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Vicksburg
Herald, writing from Raleigh, N c., says
% 1t was love in death. He saw her sink
ing fast; he knew it, she knew tit was
consumption. He nursed her like little
child, the great, strong man, and they
were in the room together the night she
died. She wanted to see QUITO gaze
once more at the world outside-but ne
entreated her against it and told her that
to take her up would make her worse, but
she told him she was dying anyway, and
he lifted her tenderly in his arms and
walked with her from window to window,
holding her to his breast and showing her
this object and thai and pointing out
every pleasant thing, md she kissing him
at intervals, till the last breath had gone
and the kiss died cold on his cheek Wo-
mans love! When God made man, He
put all of Heaven in a woman's love and
told him to win it and be worthy of it."

A WHALER'S STORY.

" CHIPS" whom | knew for months by
no other name, was ship's-carpenter of the
whaler Gazelle, of New Bedford Hewas
twenty-three years old, six feet high and
strong as an oak tree
He was the favOrite of the ship-and no
wonder. He was tender and gentle, per-
haps because he was strong; he was
peaceful, because he was powerful And
the soft word that turneth away wrath,
with the gentle hand to soOthe a sufferer,
is often needed in the whale fisheries.
Most of the fOremasthands of the Gazelle
were rough Portuguese lads from the
Western Islands, on their first voyage.
They were treated with coarse contempt
by a few American seamen and by the
officers. The only white man"-as the
Yankee sailor loves to call himself-who
was kind and patient with the rude boys
was Chips; and he was never tired of
showing or teaching them something Of
what he knew. He was one of those I'M
selfish fellows who do not believe in keep
ing knowledge to themselves. He had
never been to sea before; but, during the
first two years of his voyage, he had at
tended to SO many things besides his own
easy work that he was looked on as one
of the best and coolest whale-men aboard
Although exempted from standing watch
he had insisted on doing so from the first
day out. AT night, if the weather was
good, he would sit on the main hatch, in
the center Of a ring of Portuguese lads,
and with wonderful patience teach them
to make spices and knots and to speak
English. He never tired of doing this or
any other kindly thing for them. In the
daytime, II there were work for him at
his trade, he still had them around him,
explaining everything as he sawed or
planned, Just as if he wished to make them
as good carpenters as he was himself
On Sunday, when everyone brought his
letters and pictures on deck, Chip showed
the only signs of isolation he ever gave
He was the only one on board-except
myself-whO had neither pictures nor let
ters-neither face nor word to remind him
of home When the ship touched at some
port with postoffice and everyone else
ran for his letters, Chips remained aboard
he knew there was no letter for him.
In one of the boys albums he found the
picture of an old, white-haired woman
the lads mother-and every Sunday after
he asked for that album and always gave
it back when he had turned to that pict-
ure.
The ship had been two years out when [
Hrst saw Chips. Through strange and un-
happy circumstances [ was af1Oat on the
Indian Ocean in small boat when this
New Bedford whaler hove in sight and
ran down toward me. When my frail

In a recent address before the Smithso-
MAN Institute, DR.. Lincecune gives the
following interesting report of the curl
Gus little balloon-spider and its work: 4
once observed" says the writer, one of
those spiders at work in the upper corner
of an open, outside door-shutter. She
was spinning gCssamer, of which she was
forming balloon and clinging to her
thorax was q cluster of minute young spi-
ders. She finished up the body of the
balloon and threw out the long bow-lines,
which were tapping and f1uttering in the
now gently increasing breeze. Several
minutes before she got ready for the as
cension she seemed to be fixing the bot
tom and winding her hammock shaped
balloon; and now, the breeze being suita-
bic, she moved to the cable in the stern,
severed it, and her craft bounded upward
and, soaring northward, was soon beyond
the scope of observation"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-09-23

"Now, suppose our boy grows saucy to
his mother-just as he would of course;
and bimeby he takes glass of liquor to
keep the tobacco company-and well
matched company they be, too. Then he
smokes and swears, and swaggers and
staggers till you couldn't tell where he
started from. If he earns any money, he
spends it as fast as he gets it, and growsto
be such dirty fellow l wonder any nice,
clean girl will have him near her.
Now, suppose this other boy that lived
in house just like his, stuck fast to his
mother, and thought he'd see what kind
OF man he'd make that way. Suppose
he didn't swear, nor smoke, nor chew to-
bacco, nor drink liquor Suppose when
he earned money he spentit for something
he needed, or else saved it for rainy day
and when he was twentv-one he looked
about as clean as one of you girls. Sup
pose, now, these two boys live to be thirty
years old, which do you think will be
most of man?''
The one that minded his mother and
didn't get dirty" replied little Sue, who
had listened so intently that she did not
notice the boy, who retreated further and
further from Uncle Peleg while the 'sup-
pose' was being told.
THAT'S right, my dear; and suppose
there's one here that's got started wrong,
the best thing he can do is to go home,
wash his mouth, and do as near as he can
as his mother wants him to. Good moth
ers are the estfriends boys or girls can ever
have. "-Y0atth's Temperance Banner.

TT CAN BE DONE AGAIN.!

THE hill of life is steep to climb,
And rough and high beside;
The World, your efforts to ascend,
May constantly derlGe;
But to the top you yet may rise
So strive with might and main,
It's oft been climb'd before, my man,
You can do it yet again!
The stream is broad and deep, know,
And very hard to swim;
The mist is on the water, low,
The other side is DIM
But the river mast be crossed by you
In sunshine or in rain;
It's oft been crossed before, my man,
You can do it yet again!
The road is long and dark, you say,
And dangers Turk unseen;
You fear the lions dreadful spring,
The dagger long and keen;
But though lions in the way may Turk,
And sorrow come and pain
It's been travelled oft before, my man,
It can be done again!
The field is hard to pillow, you cry,
The seed is yet to sow;
The harvest time is yet to come,
The corn is yet to grow;
o, foolish man, God in his time
Will give the golden grain
He's done it oft before, my man,
He'll do it yet again!
flames golden temple gleam's afar!
You see the shining gate
Stand open wide for those who learn
To work and watch and wait;
Go! Enter its immortal shrine,
Free from all spot or stain
It's oft been won before, my man,
You can win it yet againi
When some dark sorrow comes unthought
And shadows all your life,
And from your clinging arms are torn
Friend, husband, child or wife;
/ know it's hard to be resign'd
To bear your spirits pain
it's oft been borne before, my man,
You can bear it yet again!
If life's revolving hand has turn'd
And thrown you on the ground,
You are not the first that's fallen
As the wheel of Life goes round
But see, that wheel is rising now
You must your grip maintain,
It's upward turn'd before, my man,
It will do it yet again!
Though sin and bitter shame be yours,
Through folly or through crime,
God pardons you if man will not
If you'll redeem the time;
To win back what you've lost is hard,
But strive with might and main
It's oft been done before, my man,
1t can be done again!
Ho! Ye who fight against the wrong
And love the good and truei
Behold, old things pass swift away
And onward come the new!
With fearless hands and noble hearts
Break errors CALLING chain!
We've done it oft before, brave men,
Wen do it yet again.

Emitted States Telegraph in New
 Mexico.

After considerable agitation and eff.
 fort on the part of the leading men of
 New Mexico. the government telegraph
 IS to be built down the Rio Grande valley through Albuquerque and other towns to and through Las Cruces and aesills, thence via Fort Cummings to Fort Bayard and Silver City. We think this much the better route in every sense it can be viewed. Jack Martin, popularly known as the "Jornado, Chief" and one of the best men living has the contract for furnishing the poles at $1.75 per pole. This is very low but with what assistance he is offer ed by the people of BerRaillo, Valen- cia and Dofa Ana counties, he will probably make even' on the job Hel is to deliver the poles in a3Eety days. and If any man can do it in that time the "Jornada Chief" can and will. Itl IS expected the line will be completed early in 1876, and if Congress makes the necessary appropriation at an early day, the connection will soon be made with the Arizona line.
 Three working parties of the Eff teenth Infantry, under Second Lieu tenants Kinzie, Davis and Gunnegle with force of one hundred aud fifty men, aDe detailed to put Up the poles and wire. they acting under the iE- mediate direction of Col. J. c. Van Duzer. Gieut. Philip Reade, general superintendent of the work and lines in New Mexico and Arizona, is in Santa Fe- but is expected in San Diego before long.

Water for the santa Rita PIacer..

A few months ago a preliminary
 survey was made by Mir DeLong for
 NIT. Ewing, Bennett and others. to
 ascertain the practicability of carrying
 water upon the Santa Rita Placers.
 The survey shows that considerable
 water could be taken there at an CT.
 pense of S2O,O or upwards, but noth-
 ing further was done. The miners
 have since discovered that the diggings cover much more and richer ground than was then known or believed to exist. Instead of two or three miles of shallow diggings. about fifteen miles of surface with considerable depth. is discovered. With abundance of water. 1t would require many years to exhaust these placers. With the present knOwl- edge of the extent, area and richness of the diggings, it would seem as if men of capital could hardly make d
 'aioA"h' III NNii ' iiiS tiiC NdltE OI lDe Santa Rita mountains on them. There must he millions of gold in the ground which is now well prospected, and probably much more ground will be found to pay well with water on it. We presume owners of claims would be willing to enter into agreements in advance with men who would furnish the water, that would make the outlay safe. The fact that an i'm. mense amount of gold is in certain area of ground out there, is we'll estab- lished, and that considerable water can be taken on the ground, is also acknowl- edged. We really believe that if men of some means would investigate all the facts, including what terms the miners would guarantee in case certain quantity Cf water were furnished, they would find the opportunity a good one 10 carry out an enterprise of value to all concerned.

They seem to fear he will go down there some day with an immense force, and
