AN EXPENSIVE SPREE.

Mr.. William Waddingham owns great
deal of property in the northern part of st.
Louis, and some large warehouses near
the old Missouri Hotel. He was desirous
of purchasing the Ames pork-house, for the
benefit of his adjacent property. The more
he thought about it the more he wanted
that pork-house. He took IL drink to quiet
his nerves then another to stimulate his
thinking machine, and third to make his
resolution stick. Soon after taking the
last of fifteen drinks he met Gen. Cavender
on the street, md authorized him to buy
that pork-house at $500 per foot. General
Cavender was in the real estate business,
and made the purchase as instructed, and
reported to Waddingham the next day,
but change had come DER the spirit of
Mr. Waddingham' dreAm-or, rather, the
spirit had oozed out of him while he was
dreaming-and now he did not banker after
the pork-house any more, especially at $500
per foot. He told Gen. Cavender he was
lot were not worth more than 5000 per
foot. Gen. Cavender was not in the habit
of doing business in that way; business
was business, and joking was joking, and
he was entitled to his commission at all
events. Mr.. Waddingham refused to pay
commission on IL joke, and the General sued
him for $4,000. On the trial Mr. Wadding-
ham lawyer attempted to show that his
client had been drugged, and was not re-
sponsible for what he had done; but this
line of defence was ruled out, and the jury
gave a verdict for S2,314.65. Mr.. Wad-
bingham says that was the most expensive
spree he ever took, and hereafter he will
save commissions by doing his own trading.

THE LUMBER TRADE.

The Albany Argus, in an article oai
lumber, says; About six thousand mil
lion feet of soft wood lumber were cut
in the United States and Canada in 1874.
Recent estimates put the entire manufac-
ture of lumber and timber on this CONT
nent at about twelve thousand million feet
per year, and if this estimate be correct,
the pine districts furnish nearly half of
the whole product. The vast pine lumber
supply moves from its sources to its mar
kets in certain we1.defned lines or courses.
and the main currents of supply do not
differ greatly in magnitude. A thousand
million is the estimated measure of this
supply for the season Of 1874. In North
ern New York, the Glens Falls district
mills are being fully stocked. In the East
ern, or Saginaw River district Of Michigan,
the logs which will come to the mills in
1875 must be less in amount than the total
of old and new logs that came out in 1874,
In Western Michigan the product Of last
year viii be exceeded this year, If such q
thing is 10 be accomplished by virtue of the
most strenuous and persistent efforts. In
the Wisconsin districts, it is claimed, and
apparently with reason, that the unfavora-
BE Winter will inevitably diminish the
supply, irrespective of the pains Of the
lumbermen. In the extreme Western dis
tricts the unprecedented depression of the
trade. last year, has proved an efectual
Encouragement of operations the present

A CLOSE SHAVE.

An exhibition was given in bingham,
Mass, some two months since, by Tom
Thumb. at which the prices were twenty
FIVE cents for those over ten years of age,
and twelve and half cents for those under.
Hwas Johnny's tenth birthday, and his
cousin May, aged thirteen, thought it to be
her duty to celebrate it by taking him, in
the afternoon, to see the dwarf. Arriving
at the door, she put down thirty eight
cents, and asked for two tickets. "How old
is the boy ?" asked the ticket-seller.
"Well," replied Miss May, this is his tenth
birthday; but he was not bor, until late sn
the afternoon" The vender of tickets ac-
cepted the accuracy of the averment, and
handed her the proper certificate Of ad-
mission. But it was close fit.

LIvINGSIu--E E's ..ASf JOURNAL

The world owes debt of gratitude it can
never pay to the faithful servants who,
through dangers and against obstacles
which the imagination can but family PIC
ture, bore the dead body of their friend and
master, with all the precious records OF his
wanderings and discoveries, from the little
village where he breathed his last to the
seq coast of Zanzibar. But for their affec-
tionate devotion these records would have
been lost; and, with the exception of what
was contained in the diary entrusted to tho
care of Mr.. Stanley. all knowledge Of the
important discoveries made by the great
traveller during the last seven years of his
life would have perished. Thanks to the
fidelity of these poor ignorant men, in the
narrative now given to the world, covering
seven years of continuous travel and dis
covery, not break occurs. 1--WE have
not" says the editor of this deeply inter
esting work, "to deplore the loss, by acci-
dent or carelesspess, of a single entry from
the time of Livingstone's departure from
Zanzibar, in the beginning Of 1866, to the
day when his notebook dropped from his
hand in the village of Ilala, at the end of
April, 1873" The preservation of these
documents appears almost miraculous when
we consider the nature Of the perils through
which they were borne to place of safety.
The little band of faithful servants had to
make their way with their precious burden
hundreds of miles through wild and ter
rible country, through lands where the de-
based and superstitious tribes would have
torn them to pieces had it became known
that they were carrying dead man, over
the river swollen into raging torrents,
across mountains, and through dense for
ests, where dangers luuked in every thick
ct. Yet. although at every step beset with
perils, suffering oftentimes from hunger
and thirst, and sometimes almost dead from
fever, the dreaded scourge of equatorial
Africa, they remained faithful to their sa-
cred trust, and gave an example of fidelity
and heroism that should never be forgot

A PROPOSAL In A CAR.

A Pennsylvania paper says that the pas
sengers on one Of the trains from Buffalo
to Brocton, last week, were treated to
love scene of unusual character. Occupy
ing one of the seats was fair young maid
en- from Cory, and grey-headed, benevo-
lent-looking gentleman from Chicago.
She was handsome, and not above twenty
two. He was on the shady side of sixty,
with flowing white hair and beard, and a
pleasant expression on his countenance.
He had been in her company from Roches-
ter, and the few hours PISSED in her society
had again awakened the dreams of love in
his old heart. 1t was evidently case OF
love at first sight on his part. With her
twas not. But he told his tale. His wife
was long since dead his children had
grown up, married, and passed from his
home. He was alone in this world. He
had wealth at his command, but he longed
for some companion to share it with him.
This was spoken in a low tone, but sufi-
GENTLY loud to be heard by those in the
seats near him. At last the important mo-
ment came. The old gentleman said
"Will you share my fortune with me; will
you be my wife ?" Then spoke this noble
oil maiden. 81 cannot. Your riches are
nothing to me. If loved you 1 would ac-
cept but that l do not, and must therefore
refuse your offer" But the old man still
pleaded He asked to be allowed to accom-
pany her to Cory and see her parents.
She declined, His pleadings were con-
tinued until the train arrived at Brocton,
when she again refused to let him accom-
pany her to Cory. His train arrived and
they must part. He threw his arms around
her neck and kissed her fervently, unmind.
full of the gazing crowd. Then upon the
platform of the car he took off his hat, and
with his white hair and beard streaming in
the breeze, and tears running down his
cheeks, this aged lover blessed the fair
maiden, and swore to see her again.

THE PROPOSED NIAGARA RIVER
Tunnel

A gentleman from Washington Pa, Mr..
Joseph Patterson, who is a Scotch MINER
and who is said to have profound know
ledge of tunnel work, gained by thirty-five
years experience in this and other ooun-
tries, has been making careful examina-
ton of Mr.. Wallace's plan and profile of
the projected tunnel under the Niagara
River at this point. He fully afirms its
practicability, and that it will cost no more
than any other tunnel in the United States
of the same nature. Mr. Patterson advises
the putting down of a shaft ON each side of
the river, and then driving drift through
under the river, seven feet by seven in tho
clear. This mode he recommends as the
best under water; first for quickrsss, since
any number of masons can work in widen-
ing out; and second for. good ventilation
in the building of masonry. Mr.. Patterson
states that he viii hold himself in readi-
ness to enter into contract for the above
named shafts and drifts at any time with
III tnree nontns, aI d price unu uuuer COIL
dltions given to Mr.. Wallace, engineer.
We learn from Mr.. Wallace that the price
at which Mr.. Patterson offers to contract
for constructing the proposed shafts and
drift is SIS per lineal foot, he to be respon-
sible for all pumping. The cost at this
rate would be $s2,920. The cost of subse-
quently enlarging the drift to the neces-
sary dimension of a railway tunnel can
easily be calculated by any engineer or
contractor, with great accuracy and eef-
taintY.

DoN'T BE TOO SENsITlvE.-"Thefe are
some people, yes many people who are al
ways looking out for sights. They can not
carry on the daily intercourse of the fam
ily without taking some offense. If they
meet an acquaintance on the streets who
happens to be pre-occupied with business,
they attribute his abstraction to something
personal to themselves, and take umbrage
according. They lay on others the fault
of their own irritability. A fit cfindiges-
tion makes them see impertinence in every
one they come in contact with. si
Innocent persons, who never dream OF
giving offense, are astonished to find some
unfortunate word or momentary taciturnity
mistaken for insult, To say the least, the
habit is unfortunate. It is far wiser to take
the more charitable view of our fellow
beings, and not suppose slight is intended
unless the neglect is open and direct. AT
ter all, too, life takes its hues in great
degree from the color of our mind. If we
are frank and generous, the world treats us
kindly. If on the contrary we are suspi-
cious, men learn to be cold and cautious to
us. Let person get the reputation of being
touchy, and everybody is under more or less
! constraint, and in this way the chance of ali
imae einary offence is vastly increased"

A Mothers Grief.

Do not look with scorn upon that careworn face
With the eye sunke,l and wild,
Who asks in half-fnghtoncd, trembling voice.
For food to give life to her child.
In her arms, close clasped to her empty breast
"A form like a babe she holds fast,
And oft-murmured words of Il mothers love,
You " I'll hear as she hurries past.
And now change, and wild, startled look
Beams forth from her sad eyes once more,
AS she asks, in a voice from want made weak,
For food to give life as before.
Why do you pause with that curious crowd,
Only to turn away again?
Is there no pity within your cold heart,
For that poor, crushed beings heart pain?
Do you fear pollution lies in her touch,
It's taint in her poo. bony hand?
All, man! that mother-love in her sad heart
Is great in Gods heavenly land.
'Tis spring from the purest fount of Life
(, No stain Of dark shame can lie there, l.s
Her poor, crazed brain no deception can feiSn;
So unselfsh her plegdings are.
SOME one is leading her swiftly away,
The eager crowd following on, ..s
While tightly she clasps her babe, cold in death
All unmindful their words of scorn.
Oh, why do we have such moskery here,
The attention so eoldly shown
Duty alone, 80 heartlessly careless
The city will lind her "a home.
Not for long, poor unloved, lonely mother,
Win charity's cold hand provide,
There's a bright home with loved ones awaiting
Whose boat comes swift on with the tide.
"Over the river they beckon tome,
Loved ones, whovo gone to the farther SIDE;
The gleam of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost in the rushing tide"
