UNITED STATES.

The President having allotted to Illinois
the appointment of American Minister to
Berlin, the Secretary of State requested
the Republican members of Congress from
that State to designate the Minister.
They selected Robert IngersOll, a political
orator who took a prominent part in adj
v~ocating Mr.. Hsyes's election. The Presi-
dent summoned Mr., IngersoII to Washing
ton, intending to nominate him TO the
Senate. This becoming known, the reli-
giOus public protested, because of Mr..
Ingersoll's religious unbelief, often pro-
claimed in public addresses. The opposition
became so strong that MIR. IngersoIl yester-
day notified to the Secretary of State that
he should decline the appointment if
offered, thus relieving the President from
his dilemma.
At the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company'S annual meeting on Monday,
the former management were reelected
nnOpposed. The report for the year
ended September 80 shows the gross
earnings OF all working to have been
S13, 208 $50 showing a decrease of
s1,2S5 1878 as compared with 1876. The
earnings VI LuG uIdIn line were SS,2O2, UUU
aud the expenses $4,605 900, showing a
decrease in the earnings of $1,37O.OO0, a
decrease in the expenses Of $500. 900, aud
q decrease in the net profits of $563,S3
as compared with 1876. The surplus
funds had increased SIG, 900, and now
amounts to $50 1899. after paying
10 per cent. dividends. The report at
tributes this decrease to the commercial
depression causing -unremunerative rates,
but says the tariff has been recently ad-
vanced to rates producing, comparatively,
much better results.
The Silver Bill has been reported to the
Senate. Although the Silver Party are
confident Of its passing, they do not claim
two-thirds of a majority. Strong iuAu-
ences are being brought to bear upon the
President to exercise his prerogative Of
veto, which he will probably do, to Judge
from remarks let fall by him in conversa-
ton that he would negative any Silver
Bill that did bot except the public debt
from It's operations or that provided for an
unlimited silver issue.-Ttmes.

When a ruler %endeavours, as Marshal
Mae Mahon is now being egged on to do.
to DEFY a Parliament which is ~staunchly

of 10 use. 1t pierces the hand OF the man

What Ruins Children.

One of the greatest defects of this age is the "fastness" of our boys and girls. And every bit of it is traceable back to the homes, where idle news-carriers drop in continually, and are permitted to un- fold their budget of gossip and scandal. Children hear more than is ever believed, and the winks, mods and hints that they catch at intervals excite their curiosity, and to satisfy which chances are not wanting. But to prevent betraying that they hear, they also learn to be very sly, so that, in time, they are able to build block-houses, make kites, or even pre- tend to study their lessons, and yet hear every word that is said. Is it wonder that by the time the reserve and purity of the mothers mind is worn out, the daughter is just in the same condition, with this difference, that, while the mother has family ties that serve as & check, and has the judgment of maturer years, the daughter is hampered by none of these, 50 that, as she stands at the threshold of lite, she is like a boat tossed out on the sea, without pilot, save her own desire, and the crew, instead of being all good influences of the past, are just the reverse. It will be miracle if she sails through safely, and if she should sink we must accept the penalty, and know that it is the work of our own hands.

A Will and a Pot of Gold.

In the year 1865, just after the break ing up of the confederate armies, q young soldier, member of Joe Shelby's com mand, accompanied by his father, arrived in Corsicana. The old gentlaman had with him large sum of money in gold. After providing literally for his boy, who was then on his way to Mexico, the old gentleman, whose name was Bently Irving, sadly and sorrowfully journeyed back to his home in Charleston county, Missouri. The son remained abroad until a short time since, when, upon receipt of letter and his fathers last will and testament, together with the announcement of his death, he returned to the home of his father. It seems that the old gentleman had enclosed brief description of hespot on Richland creek where he had taken the precaution to hide his treasure for the benefit of his absent boy. After mourn ful visit to the desolated homestead ir Missouri, the young man came on hert and soon found the treasure "a pot of gold amounting to nearly 5000, exactly ir the spot described in his fathers direc tions.- Cohesion Ne,rs.

Table Science.

The smaller mans means are the more does he need the benefit of the help that scientific research can give him to use those means to the best advantage. It is only the we'll to-do who can afford with impunity U neglect such teaching. Peo- pie who do not know how for themselves to make use of the tables want the facts put before them in some form as Dr. E. Smith gave it in privy counsel reports. He divided the needed daily amount of carbon and nitrogen into three meals, and gave a series of examples for breakfasts, dinners and teas at different prices. The amounts of the foods he mentions were ex- pressed in pounds and ounces or pints of each, and then he gives in grains what is the amount of nitrogen and carbon in the meal. For example he gives breakfast, calculated for family at three cents a head, consisting of skinned milk, oat- meal, water bread and fat. which gives to each ration it equally divided, of car bon, ,47S grains, nitrogen 80 grains. An other breakfast, at the same price, some what different, and including bacon, gives carbon ,564, nitrogen 69; and another, also at the same price, carbon 1.19O, nitrogen 56. For dinner, at four cents head, he gives carbon 1.6l6, nitrogen 71: table 190 gives, for the same price, carbon 1,513, nitrogen 140; another also at the same price, carbon 2,l44. Wequote also three tables for tea at two cents head : Carbon 67O, nitrogen %; carbon 1,034, nitrogen 61; carbon 1,250, nitrogen 49. There are also other examples at slightly different cost. This is however, sufficient to show that the cost of meal has no re- lation to it's valne as nutriment.-Ne,c

A lady, who has several grown sons and daughters, told me that when her first born boy was very young baby gen. tleman gave him half dollar. She told her husband that she would, with that, provide the little fellow horse to ride by the time he was twenty-one years of age.
 With the halfdollar she bought pig. She fed the pig with such scraps, etc, from the kitchen fas would otherwise have been thrown away, for she had de- termined that her husband should not incur any expense in the plan which she had adopted to get the horse. In about twelve months, when the pig had become large enough to be fattened for pork, she bought eight bushels of corn, promising the neighbor of whom she bought it that she would pay him when she had killed and sold the hog. So, in few months, the animal had reached such size that he brought about fourteen dollars.
 With part of this fourteen dollars she bought a calf, using the balance of the money to pay her husband all expense of keeping the calf, except the grass which it ate in the fields.
 In the course of two or three years the calf had grown so we'll that it brought thirty-five dollars.
 This amount. after paying all expenses not heretofore paid, was quite sufficient for the purchase of colt, almost ready to be put under the saddle; and by the time her little boy was six years old his horse was ready for him, but he was not quite large enough to take ride.
 Some of our young readers can act on this hint for themselves. A ten.y old farmer-boy may, if he will, turn a pig Cor something else, perhaps lamb, ) into a horse before he is seventeen.- Youth's COmDdniOn,
