Needless inconvenience.

Any person possessed of ordinary pow
ers of observation cannot fail 90 discover
great deal of unnecessary work, winch,
by little forethought, might be dis
pensed with. l do not now speak of
those who fail to provide themselves with
proper implements for doing work, and
in this way waste time enough each year
to more than replace them with the best
and most approved patterns. l intend
to speak of inconvenience some of which
exist Oh almost every farm. All are said
to have their failures in some particular,
no matter how well arranged their bus
mess may be as Il whole. have seen
premises apparently well ordered other

vided with liorseshed. / know an old
man, now four score, who has always
drawn his manure and produce through
a deep slough, between his BAN and

than repaid the outlay, to say nothing
of the increased comfort of all concerned.

Bismarck's AutOgraph--.IiOw a Mich
igan Girl Obtained II.

The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Eagle
prints an extract from a letter written i'll
Berlin, by daughter of a resident of
Grand Rapids, to Hon. Elliott L. Slocum
of the same city. She says:
Among my Christmas presents was a
beautiful autograph album, bound i'll
in black and silver. said, Immediately,
this shall be distinctly German book I;
it will be a delightful souvenir of this
winter passed i'll Berlin. "Oh, if only
could have Bismarck's autograph do
admire him so much" Everybody
laughed at me. and said perhaps some of
the officers could procure for me docu-
ment which he had signed. But L
thought it would be nicer to have some
thing directly from him; so one day l
sent the following note, written in En-
glish, so as to make more impression
To His Highness Prince Bismarck:
young American girl who, during two win
ters passed in Germany, has learned TO truly
love Das Vaterand would feel inexpressibly
honored TO be able TO carry back to America the
autograph OF the greatest living statesman.
Begging that this request may not be considered
a most unwarrantable intrusion, with the deep
est respect, LORRAINE +. WooD.
/ Thought it very improbable 1 should
received any answer. 80 imagine, if you
can, my delight, when a large envelope
was brought by the postman yesterday,
with Bismarck's own private arms in a
great red seal on the back. Inclosed was
my note, with his written in large,
striking hand on the blank side of TIE
paper:
am sorry to state that l cannot do even for
young lady, what l have oftener refused to
those of older years. BISMARCK.
Was it not cunning in him to send his
autograph while refusing to send it
Every one thinks he must be intensely
amused at my having the courage to
write, and that "the greatest living
statesman" and my name Lorraine,
which L took pains to write very distinct
ly, increased the effect. / am glad, too,
that he returned my note, and shall
paste letter, seal and all into my book
so l shall have the whole extent of the
correspondence.

The Miners and the Emma Mine.

The Emma Mine was thoroughly ex-
amined by English experts. 1t gave
every indication of being worth ten
times the amount it was sold for in Lon
don. No distillery in Kentucky ever
held up such a promise of wealth as did
the Emma. We do not expect to con-
vince Eastern people of the truth of this,
but miners understand it perfectly. But
while we hear from the Eastern papers
all about mining properties bought by
Englishmen that have proved to be un-
fortunate not word is said about the
other class. We would suppose that
even Eastern people would stop to think
that there was another side to the story,
or Epglishmen would not continue to in
vest here. We know one mine in this
State which, since its purchase, has In
creased in value more than the Emma
has deprecated, and yet, while to-day
its stock is held at many millions, 1T
does not look so we'll as the Emma dip
when it was sold. Emma was misfor-
tune, not an intended swindle, ana that
fact will yet be fully demonstrated

Clergymen's Salaries.

Some of the more distinguished of
New York's clergymen will not snffer
the pangs of hunger right away II their
salaries are any indication of their abund-
ance of the comforts of this life. The
preacher who receives the highest salary
in this country is the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. For several years past his
salary has been $40, 900 per annum. I'm
addition to this, it is safe TO say that he
received $1,000 per annum for various
lectures delivered by him in the winter
season. His salary as editor OF the
Christian Union was $4,000 per an
mum, and from the Christian Union Pub
fishing Company be one year received
so, 900 for Life of Christ" Beside
all this he is in receipt of al annual IN
come rs authors percentage on the sale
of his works, so that his income for sew
eral years past h been in the ueightOr
hood Cf $40, 600 per annum. His salary
this year, it will be remembered, was
raised to 100000. The Rev. DR.. John
Hall has a salary of so, 900, gold, per
annum, and he also adds TO his III, ONE
by writing and lecturing. The Rev. DR..
Hepworth, of the Church OF the Dis
ciples, was in receipt of a salary OF Sl0,
600 per annum until recently. The Rev.
DR.. Storrs, of the Church of the PHI
grims, Brooklyn, receives a salary of
&10,0 per annum. He was offered III
advanced salary 10y one of the New York
Congregational churches some time ago,
but was induced TO remain with his old
charge. The Rev. DR.. Burlington, also
one OF the best known of Brooklyn pas
tors, receives $40, 900 per annum. The
Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, the Rector of
Trinity, receives $4,000 per annum.
He has two or three assistants, VINO re
ceive from $4,000 to 5000 each. The
senior minister of st. Paul's receives
10000, and his assistant "a 900. The
Rev. DR.. Weston, for many years past
tn pastor of st. Johns Church, receives
$4,000 salary, and has al assistant ut

Senator Christiancy and His Bride.

The Washington correspondent of the
Troy Times writes "Society has been
struck to it's profoundest depths this
week by the marriage of Senator Chris
tiancy, of Michigan, to Miss Lugerbeel,
of the Bureau of Engraving. That is,
she was female Treasury clerk. She
was poor, pretty and young, while he is
rich, rather homely, and old. II was
the union of spring and winter. youth

suit himself and his own convenience.
Miss Lugerbeel steps from n clerks desk
into the forefront of Washington 80

as the wife of wealthy man. A month
ago she counted carefully her horse cai

Reducing the Expenses Of the Revenue
Department.

The House Committee on Appropria-
tions have completed the items on the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial Ap-
preparation bill relating to the Internal
Revenue Department of the Treasury.
Tho estimates have been cut down from
50, 900, 900 TO 81 ,056, 600. The number
of collection districts has been reduced
from 161 to los, which makes q saving
of over 100000. BY the reduction of
the force of gaugers, inspectors, super
visors and storekeeperS ~ reduction of
$4,000 is accomplished, and q saving
of $4,000 is contemplated by reducing
the estimate for dies, paper and printing
of internal revenue stamps.

JOY OF INCOMPLETENEs

II all our lives were one broad glare
OF sunlight clear, unclouded;
II all our path we're smooth and fair,
BY no soft gloom enshrouded;
III all LIES flowers were fully blown
Without the sweet unfolding,
And happiness were rudely thrown
On hands too weak for holding
Should we not miss the twilight hours,
The gentle haze and sadness?
Should we not long for storms and showers
To break the constant gladness?
II none were sick and none were sad,
What service could We render?
think If we were always glad
We scarcely could be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient administration,
Earth would grow cold, and miss indeed
Its sweetest consolation;
If sorrow never claimed our heart.
And every wish VT re granted
Patience would die and hope depart
Life would be disenchanted.
And yet in heaven il no night,
In heaven il no more sorrow!
Such unimagined new delight
Fresh grace from pain will borrow
As the poor seed that underground
Seeks its true life above it,
Not knowing what will there be found
When sunbeams kiss and love IL
50 we in darkness upward grow,
And look and long for heaven,
But cannot picture it below
Till more of light be given.
