A Large Family.

In the town of Washington, Mass, on
the Boston and Albany road, resides o
family by the name of Tettro, which
comprises large number of children.
The husband, Isaac, was born in Cana
da, in 1919, but has been resident of
the United States for over twenty years.
When about thirty-two years of age, he
was married to Lydia Doras, widow
with three children. Since that tins
she has borne him twenty-five children,
making twenty-five in all which she has
brought into the world. She was fifty
six years old when her last child was
born. OF this enormous progeny there
was only one died in infancy /; seven died
after attaining their growth, and sixteen
are living. Ten were boys, and fifteen
girls. The second crop, or the grand
children, at present number thirty three.
The mother of this great family was one
of sixteen children, by the name OF
Shepard, she was married when she was
sixteen, and widowed five years after,
in which state she remained three years.
Her married life, therefore, comprises
thirty seven years.

How Pins are Made.

A snappish, voracious little dwarf of
a machine pulls the wire, bites it off by
inches incessantly, 40 bites minute,
and just as it seizes each bite, q saucy
little hammer with a concave face hits
the end of the wire three taps and sup
sets it to head while he grips it ia a
countersunk hole between his teeth and
lays it sideways in groove, where levers
and springs, playing like lightning,
point the pins, and whence they are
dropped into box. The pins are then
polished, and two very Intelligent ma
chimes reject every crooked pin. An
other automaton asserts half a dozen
lengths, and,a perfect genius of ma
chine hangs the pins by the heads and
transfers them to slips of paper, and by
one movement sticks them all through
two corrugated ridges in the paper,
when the work is finished. The pin
machine is one of the nearest approaches
to the dexterity of the human hand
that has been invented. 1t is about the
size of a sewing machine, which it close
ly resembles.

An Extraordinary Will Case

At the Mullingar assizes, in Ireland,
an action, "Purdon and others against
Earl of Longford and others, was heard
recently to ascertain the right of claim
ants to the property of thelate Adolphus
Cooke. The testatOr died in March,
1876, being then more than eighty years
of age. He had never been married, and
he had been for years subject to aggra-
waited bodily ailments. He was possess
ed of valuable property in the county of
Westmeath, the rental amounting to
about five thousand pounds annually.
He had been in the army, but was gen
orally stationed in remote countries, and
never rose beyond the rank of subal-
tern. He was total disbeliever in all
religion, revealed or otherwise, and he
also repudiated the existence of God.
He was a believer in the TRANSPORTATION
of souls. He would not allow his ser
want to fog dog, as his notion was that
the soul of his grandmother was design
ed to dwell in dog at some period or
other. His fixed idea was that he was
destined to be fox at some remote pc
Rod. He believed that all animals we're
gentle unless provoked by man, and on
one occasion he went into field where
there was a bull. He was anxious to
conciliate the bull, but the animal did
not understand this attention, and very
nearly demolished Mr.. Cooke. He an
nually caused sticks to be collected for
the crows, to facilitate them in nest
building. He thought that trees, when
cross cut, would have no difficulty in
growing if again stuck into the ground.
Mr.. Cooke also refused to allow himself
to be buried in consecrated ground. He
caused tomb to be built for himself il
a field, at cost of ECO. In that tomt
were arm chairs and lounges, which he
frequently used.

GOV. HENDRICKS LETTER.

Governor Hendricks, in accepting the NOM
ination for the Vice Presidency, says in con-
clusion: 1t will be seen that l am in entire
accord with the platform OF the convention by
which have been nominated as candidate
for the office Of Vice-President of the United
States Permit me, in conclusion, to express
my satisfaction at being associated with can
dIdate for the Presidency who is first among
his equals as a representative of the spirit and
of the achievements Of reform. In his official
career as the executive Of the great State OF
New York, he has, in a comparatively short
period, reformed the public service and re-
duced the public burden, so as to have earned at
once the gratitude Of his State and the admira-
ton of the country. The people know him
to be thoroughly in earnest; he has shown
himself to be possessed Of powers and quail
ties which tit hiu, in an eminent degree, for
the great work of reformation which this
country now needs; and if he shall be chosen
by the people to the high office of President OF
tho United States, believe that the day OF his
Inauguration will be the beginning OF a new
era OF peace, purity and prosperity in all de-
partments OF our government. l am, gentle
men, your obedient servant.

reform and says The first step in reform is
the elevation of the standard by which the ap-
pointing power selects agents 10 execute
official trusts. Next in importance is q cODsci-
entious fidelity in the exercise Of the authority
to ho'd 10 account and displsoe untIustworthy
or Incapable subordinAtes. The public interest
in an honest, skillful performance Of official
trust must not be sacrificed to the usu'Tu OF
the incumbents. After these immediate stops,
which will insure the exhibition Of hetter e1-
amples, We may wisely go on to the abolition OF
unnecessary offices, and finally to the patient,
careful organization Of better civil service
system, under the tests, wherever practicable,
proved competency and efficiency.
My conviction is that no reform of the civil
service in this country will be complete aud
permanent until its chief magistrate is consti-
tutionally disqualified for reelection expert
ence having repeatedly exposed the futility If
self-impOsed restrictions Ly Candidates or i'll
cumbents. through this solemuity only eau
he be effectually deiiveic cd from his greatest
temptation to misuse the power and patronage
with which the executive ID necessarily charged.
CONCLUSION.
Educated in the belief that it is the first duty
of citizen of the republic to take his fair al
lotment of care and trouble in public affairs,
have, for forty years, as private citizen, full
filed that duty. Though occupied in an I'M
usual degree during all that period with the
concerns of government, 1 have never acquired
tho habit of official life. When, year and a
half ago, l entered upon my present trust, it
was in order TO cOnsummate reforms to which
had already devoted several Of the best years
Of my life. Knowing az do, therefore, from
fresh experience, how great the difference is
between gliding through an official routine and
working out reform OF systems and policies,
it is impossible for me to contemplate what
needs to be done in the Federal administration
without an anxious sense OF the difficulties of
the undertaking. If summoned by the sui
frsges of my couutrymen to attempt this work,
| shall endeavor with Gods help, to be the
efficient instrument Of their will.

Referring to the distress felt in business,
Governor Tilden says that uncertainty is the
prolific parent of mischiefs in all business
Never were it's evils more felt than now. Men
do nothing because they are unable to make any
calculations on which they can safely rely. They
undertake nothing because they fear loss in
everything they would attempt. They stop
and wait. Tho merchant dares not buy for the
future consumption Of his customers The
manufacturer dares not make fabrics which
may not refund his outlay. y
The public mild will no longer accept shams
IL has suffered enough from illusions. An in
sincere policy increases distrust. An UNI
stable policy increases uncertainty. The peo-
plo need to know that the governments NOV
ing in the direction of ultimate safety and
prosperity, and that it is doing 80 through
prudent, safe, and conservative methods,
which will be sure to inflct no new sacrifice
on the business of the country. Then the in
SEPARATION of new hope and well founded con-
fdence will hasten the restoring processes of
nature, and prosperity will begin to return.
