Ten day. ago the last card which the

said amounted TO about 81 800. OO0. 900.
and would surely be paid if Tilden was
elected. This baseless assertion was un-
dOubtedly making an impression and
therefore Iilden trumped the dcmagoguc
trek by his bold, manly, patriotic letter.
The signals of distress thrown on by
the advocates of Hayes AT all points Of
the compass during the past two or three
weeks, and particularly within the last
three or four days, prove conclusively
that the tide has turned against them,
and that their rotten craft is about to go
10 the bottom.
No sooner was the Indiana election over
than Sitting Bull Morton fed TO the
Pacific coast. 1t was Morton that raised
the bloody shirt and gave the contest its
sangulnary aspect. Does any one believe
he would have skulk-d from the field had
lie not known that all was lost
The game is up. There IL no doubt o,
the triumph OF Tilden and Reform. But
the victory should not merely be made

states whose votes will give them ma
jority OF two TO one over Hayes and cor
| ruption.
| The ordering OF troops to South Caro-
Ina To save that state WAS only the pre-
urinary step IN programme that Origi-
nally contemplated an attempt To carry
half dozen states for Hayes by the
bayonet. But the fiery fash Of popular
Indignation has terrified Grant. old

A Hundred Years Ago.

A gentleman of the olden time, writ
ing of the Maryland planter one hun
dred years ago, says: They shipped their
own tobacco-brought to q landing in
stout hogsheads, with a revolving axle
driven through the middle, and dragged
by strong mule guided by plantation
hand, over what are still known as the
rolling roads. In return they received
not only all kinds of necessaxies for
their own consumption, but for supply
ing the lesser planters and their SER
wants. OF provisions they never had
any lack. They raised their own NUT
ton and beef and pork; then there was
venison to be had in the forest, wild
ducks in abundance in their season,
fish and oysters in the estuaries of the
bay and in the rivers that flowed into
it. They led life of independence in
a land Of plenty; dwelt on their own
estates, surrounded by their servants,
and dispensed to all comers lavish hos
pitality. Their chief pleasures were of
the ruder sort. They had their horses
and hounds, and hunted and fished;
we're fond of races and cock fighting;
often drank freely, and sometimes
gambled heavily. At Doughoregan
manor saddle horses were regularly
brought every summer morning and
hitched under the trees in picturesque,
nervous group, and any one of the
guests was free to take his choice, and
gallop off over the hills either alone or
with chosen companions. The custom
is still kept up there. Ladies were
among the boldest OF riders. It was the
only mode of quick journeying.

Turkish Honesty.

A little trait of Turkish honesty
might be initiated: A gentleman wan
dering through the bazaars desired to
buy an embroidered handkerchief Of q
Turkish shopkeeper. He asked the
price. "Seventy five piastres." ''No," !"
said the gentleman, aware that it is usual
among all traders, whatever their creed,
to ask at first more than the value;
" that is too much; will give you
seventy" and as the dealer seemed to
assent he counted out the money. But
great was his surprise when the heavy
bearded Osmanl, gravely pushed back
to him twenty piastres, observing {:
"This is more than the just price. It is
always the custom here to bargain over
q thing down to its fair value, and as
fifty piastres is my fair price, these
twenty belong to you.

There Might Have Been.

A man in want OF load OF wood
visited one of the markets to make
choice. Finding load that suited, he
asked the owner If there was q cord on
the wagon.
81 think there is," was the reply.
"Do you know that there ISL"
MY son William loaded it up, and
he said there was cord"
"Well, what do you saya" asked the
citizen.
"And my other son, John, helped
William load it up, and he said there
was cord"
Do you say so9"
"And my neighbor came along, and
he said there was cord"
81 don't believe there is"
"And my wife stood at the gate as I
came away, and she said there was n
cord," continued the farmer.
"There may be three-quarters," said
the citizen.
"And as I came through the toll gate
the keeper said he'd eat it if there
wasn't q cord and half"
"He did9'
"And a policeman stopped me and
wanted to know how much I asked for
that cord and three-quarters of beautiful
wood"
The citizen took it before the load
could swell any more.-Detroit Free

How to Make Mischief.

Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without Watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. 10 be sure
YOU never knew them to do anytL .ug
very bad, but it may be on your account
they have not. Perhaps if it had not
been for your kind care they might have
disgraced themselves long ago. Then
do not relax in your efforts to keep them
where they ought to be. Never mind
your own business-that will take care
Of itself. If you find any symptoms of
any one passing out Of the path Of duty.
tell every one else what you see, and be
particular to see great many. It is
good way to circulate such things, though
It may not benefit yourself, or any one
particularly. Do keep something e-go'ng
silence is dreadful thing. II is said
there was silence in heaven for the space
of half an hour. Do not let any such
thing occur O earth. Il would be TOO
much for this mundane sphere.

This was Joy unspeakable TO me, but II
made my wife as IL he had offered per-
sonal affront. Then he said the child's
cough was only caused by some tri1ing
irritation or other in the throat. At this
I thought my wife had q mind to show

would make the child cough harder and
dislodge the trouble. So he gave her
something that sent her into spasm Of

But she did not. She turned away in
disdain, and left the room; and since
that time there is one episode in our life
which we never refer to. Hence the
tide OF our days flows by in deep and
untroubled serenity.

A Large Increase.

1t may be said that the population of
England increased in the quarter of q
century about twenty per cent. that the
people living in 1874 were, on an aver
age, at least twice as we'll off as they
we've in 1851; that they drank in 1874
twice as much tea and sugar as they did
in 1851, and forty per cent. more spirits,
wine and beer; that they had saved
twice as much and travelled nearly five
times as much; that, taking the increase
of population into account, serious
crime had decreased by nearly seventy
per cent, pauperism by more thantwen-
ty-five per cent, while primary educa-
ton hal become six times as general.
These are striking symptoms of material
and social progress.

Questions and Answers.

How can I made lime waterf An.
swer.-Slake four ounces lime with q
little distilled water, then add distilled
water to make one gallon. Cover the
vessel and set it aside for three hours.
Pour off the clear liquor for use.
Is there any remedy for tender fin
gersG I am printer, and my fingers
get sore and the skin peels off. An
swer.-Printers frequently burn paper
on an iron surface, and rub the sore
place with the resulting oil.
How can I prevent oil paintings from
crackingi Answer.-Cracks occur in
oil paintings when the colors were
ground in oil containing impurity or
otherwise unfit for the purpose. Lin
seed oil is the best, poppy oil the next;
but purity is the essential quality of all
vehicles for colors.
am finishing wire work with paint
mixed with varnish it takes too long
for it to dry hard. What will dry
quickly and not break off easily2 An
swer.-Boil good linseed oil with enough
litharge to make stiff paint; add one
part by weight of pigment to every ten
parts of the itharge. Boil for three
hours over gentle fire.
How can I make stain for wood to
initiate mahogany9 Answer.-A simple
way of effecting the object is to brush
the wood with aquafortis, and dry it at
the fire. This is good for veined birch
and beech. The latter may also be
stained by putting two ounces dragons
blood into one quart rectifed spirit; let
the bottle stand in warm place and
shake it frequently; and when the gum
is dissolved, the stain is fit for use.
Will you please inform me how can
restore edge tools, such as plane bits,
chisels, etc., to their original temper,
after they have gone through fire :
Answer.-Heat them to cherry red,
and quench them endwise in lukewarm
clean water. Then brighten the surface
with emery and rokeat them slowly over
piece of heated iron until brown
color appears, then quench them in wa
ter.
Gan you inform me how white wine
or whisky vinegar is made? Answer.
Obtain large cask, and about foot
above the bottom construct false per-
forated bottom. Above this fill the cask
with good, we'll burnt charcoal in coarse
Jumps, over which pour first a sufficient
quantity of good vinegar to thoroughly
moisten it. Let the whole stand for
short time, when it will be ready for
the introduction of the alcoholic liquors.
This should be introduced in small
quantities at time, and the apparatus
kept in moderately cool place to pre-
vent too energetic On action. This
method will give you q pure vinegar,
which will suffer considerable dilution.
Use a very small quantity Of annatto as
color ing matter.-Scientifc american.

A LESSON TO A DEBTOR.
A deed saaare Hit that was Well Deserved,
Saws the Boston Commercial BtIlle.

A deed saaare Hit that was Well Deserved.
Says the Boston Commercial Bulle-
tin: The following, with but slight
variation, sufficient not TO betray the
identity Of the parties, is the report Of q
recent actual interview and the forcible
truths expressed in the conclusion Of the
dialogue will doubtless be recognized a
applicable to many similar cases Of great
or or lesser magnitude.
A business man In difficulties calls,
with long face, on one Of his principal
creditors, and says:
"Mr. Prompt, I find, owing to the
pressure Of the times, I shall be obliged
to call o meeting OF my creditors.'
"Indeed," said Prompt, "then you
cannot meet your liabilities"
Debtor-"I regret to say I cannot"
Prompt" Well, let me see, how long
Luve you been in businessi"
= Debtor" About eight years"
Prompt" How much capital did you
have to start with"
Debtor (proudly)-"I had only one
thousand dollars, sir, and my knowl-
edge of the business, in which WAS
salesman"
Prompt-"You were since marriedG"
Debtor" Yes"
Prompt" Wife any propertyp
Debtor" None at all I have done
everything by my own unaided exer-
tions."
Prompt" How much do you expect
to be able to pay your creditorsf
Debtor-"Well. I think could get
out for twenty cents on dollar"
Prompt-"How much would that
leave you after you got your bankruptcy
discharge9"
Debtor-"W Well, if I could go right
on with the old stock, I might realize q
couple of thousand dollars, but the
creditors couldn't do so much with it,"
Prompt" But how about your house
in the suburbsa That goes in with the
assets, suppose"
Debtor-"Well, hardly. That's only
worth six or seven thousand dollars,
and ! settled that on my wife two years
ago."
Prompt" HIM, hum Let me see
what are your liabilities 2"
Debtor-"I should say, at q rough
calculation, twenty thousand dollars"
Prompt Indignantly" Why, con-
found it, sir, it is just such men as you
that have been cheating and are cheat
ing honest men either through your
rascality or accursed ignorance. You
haven't been solvent, according to your
own confession, the whole eight years
you've been in trade, I'll be bound.
Here you acknowledge you started with
only one thousand dollars of real capital
you have your family living eight years,
saved out a $1,000 house, and after set
tling with your creditors will have
double the capital you began with.
Such men as you have no right to be in
business for themselves, but should be
the employees of those who have brains
to guide them. I'll accept no pro-
position, and only wish creditors, in
steado of setting on their feet such shams
as you to compete with genuine bust
ness men, would send you back into the
ranks where you belong"
