The Mission OF a Simple Flower.

The late Joseph Brock, of Brighton,
was once riding in horse-car, when,
noticing little girl in the car journey
ing with her mother, he presented her
with flower from q beautiful bouquet
he held in his hand, accompanied with
one of those sweet smiles which so often
broke over his countenance. Some
months afterward he was again riding in
a car, when he noticed little girl look
ing intently at him. Turning to her he
remarked: "You seem to know me, nv
little lady" "Oh, yes" said the child,
eagerly, 81 remember you, for you once
gave me flower" "Ah," said Mr..
Brock, smile again illuminating his
countenance as he turned to mis- son-in-
law, Mr.. Strong, who sat by his side,
"if a simple flower will thus keep ones
memory green in the mind of a little
girl, desire to present many flowers.

Antiquity of the World.

At the first annual session of the Liv-
erpool Geological Society, which oc-
Cured in October, the retiring Presi-
dent, Mr.. +. Willard Reade, read paper
treating of the yearly amount of solid
matter removed from the surface of En-
land and Wales by rain, or rather river
water. By elaborate calculations the
writer estimated that it would require
ID, 900 years to remove one foot from the
whole surface in the way indicated. The
calculations were compared with others
showing the denudation of the great
river-basins of Europe, viz: the Rhine,
Rhone and Danube. From these est
mates Mr.. Reade deduced the conclusion
that the minimum amount of time which
has elapsed since the first sedimentary
rocks were deposited is, in round num-
bers, 500, 100000 of years. This con-
clusion harmonizes with the views of
Lyell, Hutton, and others, as to the great
age of the world.

Victims OF Foolish Election Bets.

An election bet on the result in the
Seventh Congressional District was paid
at Lowell Saturday night. The condi-
tions were that if Butler was elected
Charles Roberts was to march over a
specified route preceded by band Of
music and wearing large paper hat
over his own, suitably inscribed. The
hat bore the words, 81 didn't vote for
Butler" and CT do as agree" Upon
the hat was also representation of the
Butler rooster Growing over the PROSTATE
form of Hoar. Jacob Chase, who won
the wager, rode horseback Immediately
in front of Roberts. A large crowd of
people followed the procession over the
route. At Monument square, where it
was dismissed, three cheers were given
by the crowd for Butler, the loser join.
ing in the cheers. Freeman b. Dudley,
OF Brentwood, wagered Boardman Poor,
OF Fremont, Mass, that il New Hamp-
shire went Republican he Dudley
would wheel Poor from Market square,
Amesbury; to Market square, Newbury-
port, six miles; and, il Democratic, Poor
was to undertake the Same obligation.
The bet was paid Saturday, and Dudley
wheeled Poor to Newburyport IN two
hours, stopping fifteen minutes on the
way. The parties were followed by three
referees, a man with bagpipe, and
miscellaneous crowd of street boys

KRUPP'S STEEL WORKS.
The Greatest Gun Mandatory In the
World.
GFrom the London Times.l

GFrom the London Times.l
The ow-celebrated cast-stee manu-
factory, near Essen, was established in
the year 1910. 1t has been conducted
since the year 1896 by Mr.. Alfred Krupp.
The enormous scale on which the bust
ness is carried on will be understood
when it is stated that at the present time
10000 men are employed in the works,
exclusive of some 5000 others in the
mines and blast furnaces which belong
to the firm. The articles manufactured
are: Axles, tires, wheels and crossings
for railways; rails and springs for rail
ways and mines; shafts for steamers;
machinery, boiler plates, rolls, spring
steel, tool steel, and, lastly, guns, gun
carriages and proiectiles. There are now
existing $50 smelling furnaces, $40 an
healing furnaces, 161 heating furnaces,
lis welding and pudding furnaces, 33
cupola and reverberatory furnaces, 160
furnaces of other kinds, IT'S coke ovens,
264 smiths FORCES and 298 steam boilers.
There are n steam hammers, Is rolling
trains, 294 steam engines, representing
altogether over 10000 horsepower.
During the year 1875, 612, 900 tons of
coal and coke were consumed. The
works are in communication with three
of the principal railways, and there are
81 telegraph stations on the grounds.
A permanent fire brigade, consisting of
CD men, with eight fire engines, has also
been instituted. The men perform, in
addition, police duty, and are lodged in
barracks belonging to the works. The
officers and workmen inhabit 3,277
dwellings,, and there are 16, 200 individ-
uals living in these houses. In the
dwellings, on the mines and smelling
works belonging to the firm there are an
additional 5000 individuals, and the ex-
listing boarding houses give board and
lodging to $500 unmarried workmen.
The arrangements for the accommoda-
ton of the sick consist of one general
hospital, with 100 beds, and one cpl
demic hospital, with 100 beds, all under
the supervision of physicians especially
engaged for the purpose. There is also
bathing establishment, and disinfec-
ton house for the beds and clothes of
the sick. The firm have under their
control supply system, by which the
workmen are provided with all the neces-
saries of life at cost prices. Under this
head, also, may be named hotel, q
seltzer-water mandatory, -four mill, a
bakery, slaughter house, and three
beer houses. A sick, burial and pension
fund has also been instituted for those
who receive wages from the firm, the
latter contributing half the amount of
the contributions paid in by the men,
bers. There is also society for life
insurance. Lastly, the firm have organ
lied an admirable scholastic system, four
of the industrial schools for girls and
women being entirely maintained by
them. The guns manufactured at Essen
are made from crucible cast steel Of a
quality especially adapted for the pur-
pose; and both guns and carriages are
tested at proof butts on the grounds and
at the practice ground of Dulmen, in
Westphalia, where range of over four
miles affords ample space for any trials
that NAV be necessary.

Some Correspondence took place between the
committees of visiting Republicans and Demo-
crars relative TO the collection and publication
Of aiiidavits and testimony in relation to the
election in Louisiana, the Republicans asking
for the Democratic evidence from the gentle
men composing the committee OF that party,
and receiving refusal of the request, on the
ground that they we're apprehensive of the sup
preston of part of the evidence, and for other
reasons not stated.
The Democratic committee then issued an
address to the people OF the United States,
claiming that the figures printed by the Demo.
Gratis shortly after the election are borne out
by the result ~ canvassed, and that there is no
doubt of Tilden carrying the State on anything
~
New ORLEANS, Dec. 2.-The Returning Board
met at IL a. M, all the members present. The
Democratic committee was in the room, but for

man. A great quantity Of written evidence of

Democrats and Republicans
The box Of a poll in the parish OF Tangpa-
hoa, the vote of which had been omitted in the
Supervisors returns which had been sent for
on application OF the Democratic counsel was
brought in and opened. The statement of the

board and ordered to be compiled. The vote
stood Tilden electors GA, and Hayes electors

The board adjourned subject to the call of
the President. Clerks are now compiling the
returns OF the election. The electoral vote at
least will be promulgated on Tuesday.
The Republican visiting committee departed

FOREIGN INTELLIaENCE.

The position of Russia has been again de-
fined in semi-ofiicial statement, in which the
occupation OF Bulgaria ia not insisted upon alb
solutely, but only urged as the best guarantee
for reform. Russia will insist on the autonomy
of the Christian provinces will accept the Co
operation of the other powers il it can be OBJ
tanned, bat will fight alone for her programme,
IL no other way to get it is offered.
While tho Allen Line steamer Prussia, which
was appointed to sail from Liverpool for Port
land, was taking on coal one day last week, an
explosion OF coal-gas occurred by which ten
laborers we're terribly mutilated, and some, 1t
is feared, fatally. The steamers lower deck
was blown up and she was otherwise injured

A special from Constantinople says an inun-

A terrible gale occurred on the Sd inst. in the
British Isles, by which considerable damage

dered in the storm. All on board, fourteen in

Adyices from Mexico announce the capture
Of the City OF Mexico by the revolutionary
leader Diaz, and the fight OF President Lerdo

che impression that the Lerdo Government
was perfectly capable of dealing with the in
surgents, and this story may possibly have no
foundation.
