abundant harvcsts of the present year are
especially opportune. The foreign demand
is unusually large. and good market for
the kinds Of commodities Of which we
produce most Is II great lift. No only have
the country merchants correctly Judged
that the ability of tnelr customers warrant
larger purchases than at any previous time
since the panic, but the great transporta-
tiou interest Is equally encouraged. Fleets
of lake vessels which lay idle in the har-
bors during the sUring and summer have
been manned and put under sail, and cX-

HOussaye's Prurient Pictures Of Paris.

SeyiervIlle, Oct. 20, ,l875.


There ia large class of untruvelcd but
about-to-travel Americans who know moth
ing of Partisan society and who gain all
their ideas of il from the columns of their
fayorite journal And when they find that
the Partisan correspondent of the New
York Tribune extols the social Craces and
the brilliant entertainments of certain titled
ladies, what marvel is il if they imagine
that such ladies are all that they should
be What wonder, therefore, that, finding
these so-Callcd leaders of fashion peculiarly
accessible they become entangled in an
acquaintance which they have every
reason to think is advantageous. Yet it is
an unfortunate fact that Nj. Houssaye too
often filings shower of diamond dust over
one of the ptch-pots aforesaid.
Some of the ladies that he describes in
his letters as gifted with every social grace
and every charm, are unfortunately far
from being blest with spotless reputation
as well. One of his special favOrites just
hangs on the verge of society that tolerates,
but has ceased TO admit her Another is n
well-known demi-mondaine unvisited and
unvisitable. 1t is matter of regret that
this sparkling, snowy, but fippant and i'm
moral writer, should ever have been adj
mitted to the pages of journal Of such
wide circulation AS the Tribune, to act as
guide. philosopher and friend to Amer
/ leans who are about TO go abroad Surely
some WISER purcr and stronger pen could
have been selected from among the corps
of French journalists: Jules Claretie, for
instance, or Sarcey, wisest and kecnist of
critics, but not the author Of" Les Court

PoInpeii

Pompeii, that beautiful and Inflated city,
buried underneath the shower of ashes,
pImCe and stones cast forth from Y esuyius,
A. d.. 20, and first rediscovered in 1919,
and now ruin OF worldwide interest, is
said TO have derived its name from the
word pompe with reference to the pomp
with which Hercules, its founder cole
brated his victories. The frescoes, which
have outlived 1863 years concealment, are
brilliant yet in the forum and temples.
The art of frescoe painting ia still with us
in practice, but the records of medium of
preservation so durable as to withstand the
fire and damp of centuries is lost with the
people, cunning and rich, whose hands
wrought the beauties of Pompeii. In the
houses of this excavated city the dining
hall is always found most beautifully deco
rated. In these noble rooms the Romans
reclined at feastS, at which small fortunes
were expended.
it is said of Lucullus that once, wishing
to deceive Pompey or Cicero when they
insisted upon dining with him ca .Janlitie,
he simply sent word home that he would
dine in the room called 1.-THE Apollo"
where he never gave "a supper for less than
a sum amounting to $4,000 Of our money.
In the hours of Scaurus the most marvel
ously rich frescoes adorned its walls, and
lamps of bronze gave brilliant light. The
tables were of citron wood, resting on ivory
feet, and were covered with plateau of
solid silver, chased and carved, weighing
five hundred pounds The three couches
were of bronze overlaid with ornaments of
silver, gold and tortoise shell; the feather
cushions were of stuff of gold and silver
threads. Pliny says of the tables of citron
wood that they were made Of the roots and
knots, and priced for their veins and marks
which resembled q tiger skin or peacock 5
tail. In further description of this DIM
ing hall of Scaurus, in Pompeii, it is stated
that thu floor was finished IN mosaics rep

FROM OHIO.
Thr joint Debate between woodford
and Ewing.


The State Central Committee has
organized the State as it'neveT was or
ganized before, even under Richard
Harrison's management. There is not
as much "blown in the whole commit
tee as there is in one blast from Old
Bill's bandana, but the Lord and the
second Tuesday of October only can
show how much capacity for hard
work it has.-Ohio State journal.
The Cincinnati Gazette editorially
says:
The rain is good for getting i'm fall
wheat. Everything is against Allen.
Seven dollars per 100 pounds gross
for hogs does not indicate a scarcity of
currency or prospective suffering on
the part of the farmers
The tide is with the Republicans
everywhere in Ohio, and it is only
necessary to keep it moving in order
to secure sweeping majority for
Hayes.
Modest old Bill Allen thinks he will
run 10000 ahead of his ticket, and
Lone Bull expects to get $40, 600, 600 for
the Black Hills. Lone Bulls chances
are, on the whole rather better than
Old Bills.

ABOUT ANGoRA GoATs.-It is an estsb lished fact that goats are the heaIthicst ani. mals in the world, and the more mountains and cliffs country contains the better if ;s for all kinds of goats. The Angora is yalua. ble, not only for its wool or hair, but is ex- ceilent for mutton. The wool is worth two or three times as much as that of the sheen We find the following note in the Yuma Sentinel of the 18th inst:
 Enclosed please find samples of roods made of mohair or Angora hair. at inc Jamestown, N. Y. Factory, just completed They are the first made in the United States and from all indications is 9 perfect success The business of raising goats bred from tbe Angora is highly recommended and meets with great encouragement by parties en- gagged in the manufacture of goods made of Angora hair.
 My Angora rams are doing splendidlv the young stock show good blood. They are fine. When one month older will send you sample of the hair.

Three miles of the railroad track beyond

thought before that they were so deli
cate as to pray constantly not to be led
into temptation. But the Eton, Eng.
coilegiates seem to be thus deIicately con-
structed. Messrs Sankey and Moody
have determined to go to Eton, and
preach. The Intelligence has spread
CONSERVATION among the students like
unto that which western frontier villages
experience when it is announced that the
Comanches are on the war path and
about to pay them visit. They protest
against being subjected to few whole
some eAhortations, and the grave and
reverend Lords have taken the matter in
hand and discussed it thoroughly. In
the House of Lords the Marquis of
Bath asked Baron Lyttleton, one of the
Governors of Elton College, whether it
was true that the Head Masters and
Governors had given their sanction to
students attending the meetings contem-
plated by Moody and Sankey.
Lord Lyttleton replied that the Gov
ernors were to consider the matter to-
morrow Lord Ovsrstone deprecated
the attendance of the students at such
meetings. The London journals gener-
ally disapprove the proposed visit Of the
revival preachers to Eton The Times
deprecates the unnecessary agitation, and
hopes the Governor, considering that
only one service is contemplated, will not
make the institution ridiculous by any
interference. If this course is followed
it is likely that the toys will hear moth
ing Objectionable.
