Ia the good old days Of stocks and straps. ANT
! which fingered in the country towns for year
after they had disappeared from the cities,
happened to be visiting my old friend, the zen
erable Dr.. W--d, in the Village OF Brandon. il
the State OF Vermont.
At that time, militia drills we're common
| throughout New England, and "training day ,
was observed by the people with far grester in.

time For weeks, aye. sometimes months, be-
fore general muster, both old and yonng we're

old man directed.
>One OF these gals days was near at hand and

witness the sport; tho interval being employed
in visiting the various shops aud stores, and OBJ
serving the eccentricitiea Of the country folk.
On one Of these occasions happened into the

long enough to get restless, when footstep at
the door directed my attention to the approach

Of age, and measured good feet in bis stock

about him. His habilimeuts we're Of home
manufacture, and the rim OF the straw bat which
encircled ble large flat head measured at least
10 OF IN width.
"Good mornin'," said Seams untwisting bis
legs and turning towards the tranger. What

"Cau you measure me- for some trousers 2"
asked Bumpkin.
"I guess SO" .snswered Seams, crawling OF
the bench. s"What kind Of trousers do YOU

''Sane kind as other folks. replied Bunrkin,
"Do you want them with straps p. inquired
Seams,

'straps," repeated Seams "them's all the

"What's them ?" be cautiously inquired.
Whereupon Seams gravelv proceeded to give
him description, explained their use, ETC.. and
concluded BY displaying pair Of trousers With
straps attached.
BumpKin was evidently uonplussed He
neither looked at dor spoke to any one, but, liz

into profound reverio. few moments TINS

A CABL ~ TO ASIA.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
An effort is now making to secure the
laying of an ocean cable from the west
ern coast of this continent to Asia. A
bill favoring such an enterprise passed
the United States senate a short time
ago, but has been recalled from the house
for further consideration. 1t is stated
that under present arrangements a
message from the Pacific states to China,
Japan or Australia has to travel twenty
five thousand miles to reach its dcstina-
ton, with corresponding cost, while, if
the proposed cable be laid, the distance
will be reduced to six thousand miles
and the cost of communication reduced
at least sixty per cents an item Of con-
siderable consequence to business men,
The foreign trade of the seaports OF
China and Japan now amounts to over
two thousand million OF dollars, while
that of Australia is heavy and rapidly
Increasing. The exhibits Of the countries
at the centennial have opened the eyes
Of Americans to the character of their
trade and the desirability of turning
as much Of the stream as possible in this
direction. The telegraph is now one of
the recognized agents Of commercial
intercourse between nations separated by
land or water, and that nation will reap
the richest harvest of results that makes
the fullest use of the wonderful invention,

+ nE4rY BLOW ar THE LOTTERIES

Acting upon a recent act Of congress
looking to the suppression of the lottery
business, so far as the United States
mails are concerned, postmaster Jane
of New York has issued an order that
hereafter boxes will not be rented to
lottery agents, and that all moneys re-
ceived on account of lotteries will be
retained and returned to the sendcrs.
The lotteries most affected by this order
are the Wyoming and Kentucky state
lottery, the Louisiana state lottery, the
Havana lottery, of the Island OF Cuba,
and the Kentucky cash distribution
company. All of these have done vast
business through the New York post
Office. Some of the lottery managers
propose a contest with the postotlica .au-
thorities upon the construction of the
law. hut public sentiment will sustain
its vigorous enforcement wherever an
attempt Is made to eyade it. The recen.
get of congress in regard to lotteries Is as
iollOws:
THAT it shall not be lawful to convey
by mail, nor 10 deposit in a postofIice to
bo sent by mail, any letters or circulars
concerning lotteries, so'called gift con
certs, or other similar enterprises offering
prizes, or concerning schemes devised
and intended to deceive and defraud the
public for the purpose of obtaining
money under false pretenses, and a PEN
atty Of not more than $500 nor less than
500, with cost ofProsecution, Is hereby
imposed upon conviction, In any federal
court, Of the violation Of this section"

effect on the prices Of wheat, which have
fallen nearly fourteen per cent. One
reason assigned for this depreciation is
that most of the wheat crop last year
was harvested in wet weather and is Sc
riously damaged by the intense heat of
the last few weeks. According to the
Graphic, New York has nearly 100000
bushels of wheat on hand, about 1,0O0,-
900 of it Is ahoat in the harbor; and
while there is no foreign demand
to speak of, and no chance for shipment
owing to scarcity of ocean freight-room,
the wheat ahoat is in danger. Chicago
is suffering severely from this deprecia-
ton, and now scolds New York for not
ahving made suitable provision for the
storing and handling of grain.

POLrGAMY TO BE sQUELCHED.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
The constitutionality of pOlygamy is
about to be settled forever by test case
of considerable Importance which is soon
to come before the supreme court Of the
United States George Reynolds, OF
Salt Lake City, was convicted in the dis
trict court of the crime of having plu
rality Of wives, and sentenced to fine
and imprisonment. The case was then
reviewed by the supreme court Of Utah,
which confirmed the sentence, where
upon an appeal was taken to the supreme
court of the United States. There can
be no doubt that the decision will be
against polygamy as a crime against
the state as well as a crime under all
canon or church laws and cogDate rules
Of polity. In 1870 the attention Of con-
grcss was called to the developement Of
MormOnism, and that body declared the
practice OF poIygamy to be an oHensc
punishable at common law. The legal
prohibition has, however, not yet been
enforced in the Mormon territory. The
anticipated decision of the supreme court
of the United State will, it is hoped lead
the way to the extinction Of this foul
blat upon the national character and civ
ilization of our country.
