SIR JOHN CRossIEY, during a polItl-
cal canvass in Halifax, publicly referred
to the fact that his mother was a ser
want girl on small wages. The story as
told to me is that this girl was receiving
six pounds year, but that being lit
tie thrifty she had managed to save up
a little fortune, amounting III all to
forty pounds. Mr.. Grossly, who mar
ried her, had nothing at all. On the
40 pounds they set up shop in which
various useful things were sold, the
business being entirely conducted Py
the wife. Having gained more
money by this means, the business
was gradually enlarged, until finally
they resolved to restrict 1t to SPECIAL ar
ticle-carpets. Next followed the pro-
ieet of a single loom; the loom multi
piled it self to small room full. Then
they bought the patent OF the American
Bigelow loom, and this seemed to have
caused their business to enlarge very
rapidly. The first poor little building
with which they began-a picture OF 1t Is
kept in frame expanded Ikea magical
tree. and now their establishments have
snread into a town of their own, the
buildings being connected by high
bridges, passing above the streets.
They employ 5000 hands, and their ma
chinery is turned by seven steam engines,
representing an aggregate power OF
5000 horse.

Death of vioe-President Wilson.

Few toars, tho South at loast, will
be shed over tho death of Vico Presl-
don't Wilson. An abolitionist in sens
timont, education, and practice, he
was the avowed and bitter enemy Of
the institution ofslavory in tho South.
And as such, although this institution
is forever QyeFthrown, wo, especially
tho high-loDed and ohivalrous people
of the South, cannot mourn his death.
And why should WEI Mourn tho
death Of bittor and lifetime enemy?
Reason and tho common instincts of
our humanity forbid it. That the
people Of the North should mourn
his death, is not at all unreasonable
Wo always mourn for those who have
either benefited us or who for some
zeal or iu(Agined qualities, have en-
listed our love. Therefore, we Of the
South cannot, in this instance, feel
magnanimous enough to mourn the
death of the Vico President of the
United States. Tho only redccmablo
feature of tho mans whole life, viewed
from Southern standpoint, is, that
latterly ho advised mildcr course to,
wards tho South, and for this our gra.
titudo may bo due. AS we grow Older,
wo should become wiser. Perhaps,

Cellar Drainage.

If the ground Is at all inclined, even
in the wettest seasons, to be wet or
springy, whatever other precautions are
taken, a drain should be laid all around
the cellar inside of the wall, and at least
q foot lower than It's lowest bed-stone, and
carried away TO free and sufficient out
let. This drain may be made Of gravel
or broken stones, but ordinary land-drain-
age tile with open joints is usually cheap
er and always better, especially as pre-
venting the ingress Of vermin. For the
largest private house, the smallest-sized
land-drain tile will be sufficient If the
soil is unduly wet, at any season, similar
drains should cross the cellar at intervals
Of not more than fifteen feet. All OF
these drains should have q slight but con-
tinoqs fall toward the outlet. and should
be securely covered by having earth well
rammed over them, the whole cellar bot
tom being then coated with concrete. For
small houses, where cobble-stones or gravel
are plenty, if the foundation rests on a
layer of this porous material foot or
more deep. and if good outlet be provid-
ed al the lowest point, the tile IS not need
