Since the removal of William M.
Kenuard 8 Co, the carpenters, pain
ters and other woIkmen had beer
busily engaged in fitting up the build

tract for fitting up the store was given
to e. @. Jefferis q Son, and reflects
credit upon that firm.
The proprietors together with their
assistant have been engaged within
the past week day and night in un-
packing marking and placing the
goods upon the shelves. The opening
took place according to announce

ne specimen of beer is found. In q

liquor is sold in some places than ever
before.
The Evening Post of San Francisco
publishes a list of the Chinese 1aundries
in that city. They number more than
200, in all parts of the town, and are de-
clared to be source of great danger.

surrounding property. They are most

bustible. Formerly the laundrymen
could not effect an insurance unless al
high rates, but now they can not find
companies to insure them on any terms.
The Mongolian tenants are said to be
careless in the use of fires and lamps,
and cause very high rates of insurance
to be exacted for adjoining houses.
THE maps show that in Bulgaria
something like half the village names
terminate in koi. This is simply the
Turkish word for " village" answering
very nearly to the English ton. Thus
we find several times the "new village

glish Newton, while the "Priest's vii.
1age," Papaskoi, corresponds to Pres.
ton, and Sultankoi to Kingston. Next
perhaps, in frequency, come the Turk

together Yeni Zagra and Eski Zagra
Yeni Bazaar is exactly equivalent to New.

How Bread Crusts are Used In Paris.

"What becomes of the old moons?
What becomes of the old crusts of bread
in PARISH" asks the Figaro, and then
tells of their transformations. The
boulanger en- vieur, freely translated,
"baker of the old" Utilities the pieces of
dry, damaged and abandoned bread.
He gathers the crusts in boarding
houses, converts and hotels. These
morsels, covered with sand, stained with
ink and often picked from heaps of re-
fuse, are sold by servants to the shaker
of DID," who turns them into new
preparations. The merchandise is first
carefully sorted out. The fragments
which are judged to be still in pre-
sentable condition are dried in an oven
and form cro,ltes an pot, which are used
up in soup at low-class restaurants. Al
most all the lozenge-shaped crusts serv-
ed in dishes of vegetables have this Or
igin. The crumbs and defective crusts
are pounded in a mortar until they be-
come a white paste, which butchers use
to adorn outlets. All the material that
appears absolutely incapable of further
service is then roasted, reduced to a
charcoal, ground into powder, and, by
the addition of few drops of essence of
mint, is converted into a tooth paste.
Such is one of the metamorphoses of
Partisan industry. Baltimore american.

Life in q Lighthouse.

A visit was paid to the lighthouse at
Seven Foot Knoll. This is one of the
iron cheese-box lighthouses which stand
on legs out of the water, and excite the
curiosity of thousands of excursionists
every season, who sees them from the
steamers decks. The keeper, Mr.. Boil
ling, was filling his cellar with wood for
the winter when the tug rubbed against
the iron pillars of his dominions and
made his house rock. The visitors
climbed ladder through trap-door,
and found themselves in the garden,
which is an iron balcony running around
the cheese-box and filled with flowers
growing in pots and boxes, with several
children playing in it. Inside the
cheese-box was found to be a suit of
large and comfortable chambers, in
GLIDING parlor with a piano, a large
sitting-room, sleeping-chambers, kitchen
and other apartments quite as commo-
dious as a French flat in large city.
Mrs. Boiling said she and the children
were never sick. A little girl, ) years
old, who was born in the lighthouse, and
had never been on land but once, APP
peared rather shy of strangers. Three
children and two grown people form
the child's world, save the broad ex-
panse of waters and the ships that come
and go, and the sun and moon and stars
overhead. When the ice jams against
the piers of the lighthouse in the winter
it rocks like a cradle. Last winter it
occupied two men nearly all the while
to watch the stoves and keep them from
Overturning. Every thing was found to
be very comfortable and homelike, and
the occupants of the singular dwelling
were as happy as if they lived on solid
land.-Balttmor Sun.

A Mason's Presence Of Mind.

Some repairs being in progress to the
roof of house in High Street, Barnsta-
pie, a ladder fifty, feet long was reared
from the roadway. A mason's laborer
named Charles Jones, when nearly at
the top of the ladder, but not sufficient
ly so to deposit a heavy load of mortar
on the roof, was observed by George
Cross, the mason, who was waiting 10
take the load from him, to suddenly
stop and to be in o fainting condition.
Cross Immediately went down the lad-
der, and removed the load from the
fainting mans shoulder on to the roof.
He then descended to the assistance of
Jones, whom he found in a fit ready to
fall, but this he happily prevented by
getting across him, and holding him
tightly by hand and leg. Jones, in his
fit, fixed his teeth in Cross's arm, and
trembled violently as well as struggled
to get free. For fifteen minutes the peo-
pie below witnessed the struggle, afraid
to ascend, until another brave fellow
named William Richards, driver of q
van, ran up the ladder to the assistance
of the mason. In the meantime the fire.
escape ladder was brought to the spot,
and in the nick of time the police as
cended; and the leather belt belonging
to the escape being fastened round
Jones, he was lowered, still in the fit, to
the ground unhurt. The mason Cross
was much exhausted, and when he re-
gained the ground fainted.-London

Definitions of Conscience.

1. Conscience, according to the loose,
popular idea of it, is the souls sense Of
right and wrong.
2. Conscience, according to the strict,
scholarly idea of it, is'the souls sense Of
right and wrong in motives.
8. Defined in the loose, popular way,
as only the sense of right and wrong,
conscience implicitly includes the action
of the judgment, as well as of the moral
perceptions and feelings.
4. Since the judgement is fallible,
conscience, defined as spiritual multi
pick, including judgment, is fallible, and
may justly be spoken of as often blind
ed, erring, and scared.
5. The loose popular definition makes
no explicit distinction between the outer
act and the inner motive.
6. The conscience, if supposed to be
the compound of faculties by which we
decide on what is called the rightness or
wrongness of external acts, is doubly
fallible, and may, with scientific justice,
be pronounced erring, vacillating, and
often self-contradictory.
Z. On the other hand, if conscience be
defined in the strict, scholarly way, as
the souls sense of right and wrong in
motives, the judgment or purely intel
lectual activity of the soul is distinguish
ed from the moral perception and feel
ings; and, therefore, in this definition,
does not constitute fallible factor in
conscience.
8. A man does infallibly know wheth-
er he means right or wrong in any de-
liberate choice.
9. If, therefore, conscience be sup
posed to be, as the strict definition de-
scribes it, the souls sense of right and
wrong in motives, and in those only,
conscience is infallible within its field.
10. In this sense, and in that field,
conscience is not educable.
IL. 1t follows from this definition,
that right and wrong belong only to
motives; and that external acts, taken
wholly apart from their motives, have
only expediency or inexpediency useful
ness, or harmfulness; and that their
character in these respects is ascertained
by the judgment and not by the con-
science.
II. But conscience not only perceives
the difference between good motive
and bad it feels that the good motive
ought, and that the bad ought not, to
be chosen.
IS. Conscience, therefore, may be
briefly and Professionally defined as q
sense including both.a perception and
feeling perception of right and
wrong in motives; and feeling that
right ought, and wrong ought not, to be
chosen by the will. Every motive has
two sides-a rightness or its opposite.
The former distinction is perceived, the
latter felt. Conscience is that which
perceives and feels rightness and ought
ness in motives.-ReU. Joseph Cook.

Gods Goodness and Mans Folly.

1t is declared by many that when they
see the sufferings of the poorer classes
which throng our own large cities, they
wonder if there is just and kind God.
Oh, yes, there is kind and just God,
but He seems to have been too generous
toward man; He left man free! Man
was unworthy of such a divine choice,
for he selects misery and death in the
cities when all Gods land, from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Columbia River,
invites us to its life giving breast. There
is one single State on the Gulf which
could furnish happy homes to ten mil
lion of our poor. The immense wheels
of the seasons have been rolling all over
this continent tor many centuries, and
still the spring comes in regal beauty
and autumn richness, and not q son of
man will move out to honor spring by
picking a wild flower or honor autumn
BY reaching up for wild grape. How
many hundreds of more of years nature
will wait for man to come and touch
this rich soil with pillow and garner in
abundant bread, no man may tell; but
this we know, that. the goodness
falls all over America, blows
over it in the winds, falls on it
in the dew and the rain, smiles in the
sunbeam. She has made us a present
this year of an extra hundred millions of
gold-handed it to US in the harvest
field. 1t requires no great power of
fancy to enable one to see along the
banks of our Western rivers, from the
Rio Grande to the springs of the Mis-
souri,, homes for all, and then the banks
would not be as thickly occupied as the
banks of the Rhine. But mans folly
intrudes and destroys this picture, and
we behold those streams flowing in a
gloomy solitude as lonely as the Utmost
chamber of Etna, while all our streets and
highways swarm with beggars in every
form of wretchedness. When one sees
the goodness of Nature poured out so
generously, when one sees spring and
summer passing in infinite value over
fertile lands for hundreds of years, and
then beholds millions of starving poor,
made poor by bad government, made
poor by ignorance, made poor by idle
ness, made poor by vice, the feeling
comes over the heart that God might
well call mans career on earth q fail
ure, and might declare his stay here
ended, and say, Come now the fervent
heat to dissolve the elements.-Prof.
Sacing.

Spiders and ll.ths in CaliisrnIa.

Did it ever occur to any body that
California has decided superfuity of
spiders, not to mention other disagree
able insects? And they are the most in
defatigable creatures on the face of the
earth. From morning till night, and
from one years end to another, they 60
on spinning their intricate webs in every
nook and corner, on every tree, shrub
and leaf, festooning the fences, en-
shrouding the barns, covering the
houses with their network. Occasion
ally you will see . tree that stands in
some sheltered spot where the spiders
are undisturbed by the winds or by hu-
man intruders, and there you will find
the work of these omnipresent insects
in its completest form. It would seem
that the fairies had thrown around it an
enchanted gossamer mantle. From top
to bottom it is one intricate network.
The imprisoned, smothered leaves seem
to be struggling to get out of the re-
morseless grasp of their liliputian cap
tors. After the spiders comes the Cali
fornia dust, the inevitable dust of sum-
mer, lodging thickly in every cobweb,
and making the poor, struggling trees
look as though mourning in sackcloth
and ashes for their friends, the long
delaying rain-drops that seem never to
come. The work of the dust and the
spiders gives the California vegetation
in summer an air of uninviting desola-
ton. Even the fairest orchards are
thus clothed. We know of no charac-
teristic of California more disagreeable
than her superabundance of spiders.
And what country for moths! East
ern housekeepers who come here I'M
warned too often take their best clothes
from trunks and closets riddled and
ruined by moths. The climate that is
SO conducive to the growth of marvel
Gus fruits, vegetables, grasses and ce-
reals, is likewise favorable to the exist
ence of the most disagreeable insects.
These are some of our drawbacks, too
seldom mentioned, perhaps.-Stockton
Independent.

Arrest Of an Old Counterfeiter, Long
Reported Dead.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Andrew j.
Harris has turned up man with a his
tory. In fact, he has resurrected a man
who has been docketed and check ed of
as dead on more than one book of GRIM
inal records.
On the Sd of October Mr.. Harris, act
ing on incidental information gathered,
arrested on Beal Street one Jacob
Briesch on the charge of manufacturing
counterfeit nickels. The prisoner was
duly arraigned before Commissioner
Garrett, and the evidence against him
was such as to warrant his going to jail
in default of 80 900 bail. The evidence
of the witnesses was to the effect that he
had molds or dies for casting nickels,
which we're innocently destroyed by
them. They state that Briesch had con-
fessed to them that he had been engaged
in the making of queer money.
Briesch's appearance is that of man
forty-five years of age. He is man of
small stature, wears a full beard, is
apparently well educated, and has an
easy address. He has some inheritance
in Germany, from which he receives
occasional remittances.
Briesch is no novice in the making of
queer money. In 1869 he was indicted
by Grand Jury in Cincinnati for swim
ding Uncle Sam, by private manufac-
ture of currency of the denomination of
so cents. He was swooped down upon
and jailed. But the smallpox came to
his relief. The pestiferous disease sat
upon him and he was sent to the pest
house. Before he fully recovered he
took French leave. A few months later
q hungry Deputy Marshal got on his
trail and ran him out of his uncle's
house near Hagerstown, Md. Again he
disappeared temporarily. Then that
persistent deputy heard of Briesch over
the Ohio River. But upon arriving at
Louisville the trail ended. There it was
found the escaped criminal had arisen
from his bed in the hospital, and, in the
delirium of fever, run down to the river,
plunged in and arose no more. The
crestfallen deputy made this return to
his warrant, and a mol. pros. was en-
tered in the case. Again, now, after
seven years, he turns up in the old bust
ness. As man doesn't have the small
pox twice, Briesch will have to get up a
new plan for escape.-Memphis appeal.

journalistic Ingenuity.

Every body knows that newspapers
keep biographies of most living celebri-
ties ready in type, SO that when one of
them happens to die his career is in the
hands of the public an hour or so after
his hast gasp. The other day, however,
the sudden death of M. Theirs caught
an Italian paper mapping, and this was
how its editor filled up the void till the
literary notice of the dead man was
written: "The sorrow with which we
are SO suddenly overwhelmed entirely
prevents us from saying any thing about
this illustriOus statesman; but when our
tears cease to flow tomorrow, we shall
give an account of his life. London
