"Well, l guess we can make out q

Not long was it, however, before the

and it was then seen that the two first

ones, and that the plant now stood nine

A Funeral Attacked by Hornets.



Last Saturday afternoon a very long
funeral procession was ON. the valley
road, ana the driver of the fourth or filth
carriage gave the side OF hay stack a
cut with his whip. Immediately hum
dreds OF hornets swarmed out Of that
stack, and attacked the norses and men
and women furiously. He had cut their
nest. Many Oft the horses reared, plunged
forward, pranced, tried to run, aud did.
run, but the hill just before them soon
tuckered them out. The men and women
fought the hornets with fans, handker-
chiefs, parasols and hats, nearly all the
distance to the cemetery. A few were
stung, and there was some screeehing,
ana would have been more but for u
sense of decorum due the solemn ocea-
sion. 1t is a wonder to everybody in the
procession that no accident occurred.
With all the veering and dashing of the
horses, not even a buggy tipped over.
There is no doubt, however, that If the
hill had not been so near serious acci-
dents would have occurred; as it was,
the first GriVer had the good sense to lei
his team try the hill when they started
off on being stung, and the drivers be-
hind him followed his example. No
funeral procession ever went up hill
as that one did, we venture to say.

American Manufactures.

The Centennial Exposition has de.
monstrated to foreigners the capabilities
of this country to compete with any
nation of Europe in the department of
manufactures. England has been es-
pecially slow to believe this of us, be-
cause unwilling to admit the unweleome
truth. England has seen her export
trade to this country gradually declin-
ing, growing smaller and smaller with
each successive year. This falling of
has been attributed 10 our impover-
ished condition by reason of the war,
to the disordered state Of our cur
rency, to the forced economy that
the people were practising, to every
thing, real or fancied, but to the stern
fact that we were not needing England's
goods. But when the British manufac-
turers saw with open-mouthed wonder
American goods pushed into English
markets and outselling their own, our
cotton goods in Birmingham and our
cutlery in Sheffield, the truth began to
dawn upon their minds that America
had in TACT entered the lists as their
great rival ON the worlds arena.
This idea has now received full con-
hrmation by the proofs drawn from the
Exposition at Philadelphia. There have
been collected the witnesses of our
rountry's growing superiority in manu-
featuring for the markets of the world.
This testimony, added to the other
events alluded to, has distinctly dis
closed to the English mind our high Do
sition in this regard. A Mr.. Galton
writes to the the London Times upon
Ehis subject, and says:
"The development which the manu-
lecturers of the United States have at
tained, and the energy with which they
work, make it manifest that not only
Ban. we (the British no longer expect to
obtain market for our manufactured
goods in the United States, but that we
must be prepared to find the manufac.
turers of that country competing with
us in every market to which we and
jhey have access for all our princIpal
nanufacLures, such as iron, cotton
FOODS, &c."
This is to have achieved much. To ]
iaye reached the position Of '-~-As1ed

Genius and Common Sense.
[Erom the Boston TRANSCRIPT


The man who believes in debt, and
cites plenty OF men OF genius VINO run
in debt, is either silly enough to suppose
himself "a genius OF to mIsIake folly for
genius. Men who write wisely against
running in debt may also, like many
other preachers, fail utterly to practice
their own preaching. Thus, Lord Bacon
wrote on che wisdom Oh BUSINESS, and
ran desperately in debt. Men OF genius
are not always ninnies in their eXpend-
itures, though we can recall thousands
who are, from Bacon to Webster. Men
OF genius may also be able, like Pitt and
Webster, to have the most correct idea
OF public finances, ana yet fail utterly
in, managing thelr own affairs. Pitt re-
ceiVed never less than equal to So, 900 a
year, sometimes equal 70 $50, 0Ull, and
died equal to $2J0,0OU in debt. Sheridan
Was another spendthrfft, anu spent all
OF his first wite's fortune in six weeks,
ana the fortune OF his second wife in a
few months. Fox was great games ter.
and at one sitting OF twenty -four no urs
lost equal to 500, 900. 1t is just this Kind
of genius which should have no imita.
tors and which mas proved the misery
OF thousands OF families and the dlshon-
or Of all the men who indulge i'll such
personal extravaganza and plunder OF
other peoples property.
