SUSPICIOUS SoLIcITUDE.- Somebody Is
very tndustTiously at work Seeding out in
formation ABOUT The failure OF the silk crop
In Italy, China and Japan. Four separsts
circulars 10 that effect have been received az
this office, two Of them being on manifold
paper, in the same Handwriting, and all OF
thsn anony nous. These specimens or litera-
ture are very emphatic In warning all real
srs that, in consequence of the alleged fail
IRE of the crop, silk goods are certain 90 go

Their purchases, &c, &c. All tais may be
SO, but there are several circumstances
about the matter calculated to excite suspi-

worms should stop spinning simultaneously
In eountrAes so widely distant from each
other as Italy, China and Japan; and then
the suddenDess and assiduity with which the

How To Get Along.

Don't stop to tell stories in busi-
ness hours.
If you have q place of business be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting
around stores and saloons.
Never '' fool" in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity,
and also promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of.
Do not kick every one in your
path.
More miles can be made in day
by going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word
as he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you cannot afford to,
symply because it is fashionable.
Learn to say No. No necessity of
swapping it out dog-fashion, but say
it firmly and respectfully.
Use your own brains rather than
those Of others.
Learn to think and act for your
self.
Keep ahead rather than behind
the times. 81
Young men, cut this out, and If
there be any fallacy in the argument
let us know.

Red Pepper and Poultry.
An Old Farmer, in woonsooEet Patriot


i do not know if other persons
who raise poultry and pet birds are
as much dependent as I am on red
pepper; but [ have found so much
benefit from its use in my poultry
yards and bird cages that it may not
be amiss to call the attention of 9TH
ers to its good properties. lido not
speak of the article that is sold in
the drug stores-and sometimes not
remarkably fresh-but of the capsi-
cum that grows in our gardens. /
have tried all the different varieties,
and the most pungent and efficacious
is the small kind mostly known by
the name of "bird's pepper" The
plant in itself is a beautiful object
grows about two feet high, and in
autumn its bright little scarlet ber-
ries look like coral beads peeping
from under the dark-green foliage.
Indeed, one plant in a pot is very
pretty ornament for a flower stand.
The seed possesses a stimulating and
reviving property, and | find that
two or three given to newly-hatched
chickens, especially if they are weak
ly, have a most happy effect. IF a
hen looks feeble after moulting, six
of these berries Or pods. given daily
in some corn meal and sweet milk,
improves her wonderfully. Every
day | give them each one seed of the
birds pepper" and in less than q
week they were quite we'll The
same remedy is invaluable for mock
ing birds.

How the Indians Get Arms.
From the Boston Herald.

An officer in the Big Horn expedi-
ton wrote letter to a friend in this
city a few days prior to the slaughter
of Clusters command. from which we
are permitted to copy as follows:
II think this will be very long
and tiresome campaign. I doubt if
we see our posts again before next
fall, If then. The scarcity of water
adds much to our difficulties, aud I
think the country much worse gen
orally than Arizona. the only growth

tus. The Indians are very strong in
numbers and splendidly armed, and
they boast that they can and will

States can send against them. Spot

on the strength of this he goes to

Why Judge Taft Doesn't Resign.
Baltimore Gezettt

Judge Taft, the Attorney Gener-
al, denies that he has any intention
to resign. He says that the dis
placement of the prosecutors of the
whisky ring is with his concurrence.
Judge Taft has been going on from
bad to worse. When he accepted
the Seeretaryship of War, vice Bel
KNAPP, resigned, he made speech to
the Cincinnati Board of Trade in
which he stated that he did not
claim to be more honest than other
people. He has stood up to that
statement nobly. While Secretary
of War he never took one step to
bring Babcock to trial before court
martial, but suffered that noble pro-
moter to the safe burglary to bear
without reproach the United States
commission as an officer and and
gentlemen. After he became At
torney General he suffered Grant to
displace his efficient subordinates.
and thus identify the Departments
of Justice with the great policy of
encouraging crime, and Furnishing
honest and efficient officers. He
has made sure of Babcock's acquit-
tai by q packed jury. He is not one
of the stamp of Bristow and Jewell.
He is true Centennial. Grant-ador-
ing, Hayes supporting reformer.

A Wedding Postponed.

Great preparations were made at
q house on Madison avenue for the
marriage of a young lady who had
been wooed and won by the son of a
prominent insurance agent in this
city. The Rev. DIR. Reeves, who was
absent in Schenectady, was sent for,
and he, engaging another preacher
to fill his place. hurried back to AL
bany to pronounce the solemn words
which were to make the twain one
flesh. Tile bride was arrayed for the
ceremony; the guests assembled,
but the bridegroom came not. The
hour was postponed, and the irate
father of the bride, hat in hand,
started out to find the whereabouts
of his prospective son-in-law. His
stay was short one, but the tidinos
he brought were indeed startling to
the happy company. On going to
the home of the young man it was
found that he had suddenly departed
for California, leaving no word be-
hind. At the news OF this desertion
the bride sank fainting on the floor,
while her mother went into fits. The
company at once dispersed to gossip
over the untoward ending of the af-
fair, and to speculate as to the cause
of the bridegroom departure. It
is said that sometime ago, on pre-
tense of changing the ring which he
gave her, he took it away and never
returned it. The young lady is quite
i'll from the mental distress.

sultan Murad's Fourth Wife.

Paris Correspondence of the Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
A few days ago an English wo-
man named Tompkins, who kept a
shop at Pera, summoned from Eng
land to aid her in her business
young niece who proved to be ex
tremely pretty and no less intelli-
gent. Soon after her arrival she
took into her head to study Turkish,
representing to her aunt that such
knowledge would be of great advan-
tage to their trade, as the Turkish
language would naturally prefer to
make their purchases where they
could be understood without the aid
of an interpreter. As the young
girl was at once clever. ambitious
and industrious. she soon succeeded
in acquiring the language, and num-
bers of the female members of the
noblest Turkish families came to the
English shop. One day the pretty
niece went to the harem of Prince
Murad to take home some articles
ordered by his principal wife. She
never returned, and when her aunt
sent in search of her she received
a cool message of farewell from the
young lady Eerself, who had become
the fourth wife of the heir TO the
throne, who is the present Sultan
