one, which originated in this city, and is
icing prosecuted from here The modus
operondi is very simple. 1t is wire fence
of not very new pattern, and which i.
not even patcntable. The smooth-tonguec
agent shows it toA farmer, and soicits him
70 become IN agent for it, AS IN induce
ment lie is offered fifty fee, provided
he will pat it up along the road where i,

farmer bites at the Offer First he gets fifty
rods OF fence for nothing. and if he does
take an order he gets II liberal commits
sion. lie signs what he supposes is al
order for fifty rods, and Immediately the
wire is shipped him. Then comes anoth
er agent who demands pay for one hun

Agent says, " certainly, but you have or
dered one hundred and iltIy rods, and the
one hundred rods you must pay for at fou

The process is very simple. The farmer
saw contract for fifty rods, but when he

and he really put his name to another ont

TIE OBELISK.

The English succeeded in getting per-
mission of the Kbedve of Egypt to remove
to London the Alexandrian obelisk, which
every school-boy has read of, known as
Cleopatra's Needle" 1t is now on its
way to England and will be set up in
Trafalgar Square. Not to be behindhand.
an American merchant, who withholds his
name, persuaded the Khedive to permit
another one to be brought to New York.
and he donated the cost of bringing it
one hundred thousand dollars The papers
are ill drawn, and as soon as steam can
do it, an obelisk that Moses and Aaron
looked upon will be set up in one of tn
Youngest of the great cities of the world
Who the donor is, no one knows, but time
will reveal the secret, 1t was u generou,
and noble act.

pa New YORK, Oct, 20, 1877.

As everything pertaining 10 the business
of the country is of interest, called upon
several of the heaviest lobbers. The re-
ports were all alike. Business is now
healthier than at any time since the war
The volume of trade is not so large, more
discretion and judgment is being used
md the quality of the goods purchased i
different. The purchases of fine good
are much less, and trade runs largely t.
necessaries. In brief. merchants are buy
ing literally, though very carefully, and
buying intending to pay. The reports art
all to the effect that the farmers are doing
WE'LL and buying fairly well. while tn
working people in the towns, especial,
those that are dependent upon manufac
ures, are poor, and are buying very little
as yet. But there is strong hope Of i'm
provement in these. rs the good condition
Of the farming community cannot but i'm
prove their condition. Altogether the
merchants are of the opinion that the GOO
times have commenced, and that they vii
continue till we get back to Il good, safe
steady going condition of things.

OF freedom and publicity ID make the
right cause prevail. No statesman OF
modern times has assumed grayer re-
sponslblliLies, or acted more completely
on his own Judgment, yet none more i'm
plieitly relied upon Parliament and the
people TO SANCTION the steps which he
mad taken. He never yielded one iLcb
TO popular clamor, or sWerved aside
from the course whicn he had deliber.
ately decided was the best for the inter-
ests OF his country; but yet he declared
that when Parliament was not sitting he
felt half his streng h Na5 gone. From
first to last he never hesitateu to NEE
the most harassing interpretations with
perfect opeuness, maintaining that the
inconvenience OF such ques..Oning al
critical times was more Than counter-
balanced b. the confidence licn full

THE FALL OF A MOUNTAIN IN SAVOY.

An interesting account OF the recent

villages, has been communicated to tue

case is that Of u mountain which for

to write it down. 1t is still an effort to
begin, but not SO great an effort as it
used to be.
1t was terrible pull in the old time
to come in on a beautiful summer NOR
ming from the in=xpressible brightness
and greenness out OF doors, and take up
the pen, and put ones mind (sucn as it
was) on the stretch, aud screw out.
Sometimes, too, nothing would be
screwed out. know an extremely pOpu-
lar and prolific writer who is wholly ig-
norant of what is meant by writing with
an effort. Let the page be spread cut,
let the pen be taken up, and faster than
the mechanical work can be done, the
stream OF Interesting aud charming
thought and Language flows. But surely
the experience is eXceptional-poss ssibly
unparalleled. 1t is not good, either, to
write too much or too regularly. Think
ing of the amOuut produced by SouLhey,
or by Lord Lytton, or even by Mr.. All
thOny TrollOpe, one has the uucomtOrta-
Dle sense OF physical manu- acture. The
thing is as loom, turning off 80 many
yards daily. And when an authors
readers come to have that feeling, an
1udetinable WEAKNESS and dissatistac-
ton arise. Tue author must either
cease Tor while to writ, or write I'M
der another name. The dogs day is
over for the time.-[Frozer's Magazine.

HOW THE FRENCH WORKMAN LIVES.

The French lsborer probably gets
more Tor his wages than any other. His
food is cheaper am more nourishing z.
His bouillon is the liquid essence oil beel
ii penny per bowl. His bread at the
restaurant is thrown in without any
cuarge, and is the best bread in the
world. His hot coffee and milk are
peddled about the streets in the morn
ing at sou per cup. 1t is coffee, not
slOps. HIS haii bottle Of ciareL Is thrown
IN at meal costing II cents. For
a few cents he may enjoy an evenings
amusement at one OF the many minor
theaters, with his coffee Tee. SiXpence
pays Ior u nice!y-cusnioned seal at the
Gledter.
No gallery gods, no peanuts, pipe
smoke, drunkenness, yelling OF noWlIug
The Jardin des Plantes, tue vast gal
ieries and museums OF the Louvre, Hotel
Ctuny, palace OF the Luxembourg and
Versailles are free ior him TO enter. Art
and science hold out TO him their
choicest treasures at small cost or no
cost at all. French economy and iru-
Eaiity DO not mean That constant re-
Lrenchment anu seIf-den!al which de-
prive lie Of every thing which makes il
worth living tor. Economy in France,
more than in any otAer country, means
civilization OF what America throws
away; but it does not mean a pinching
process OF reducing life TO a barren eX-
lsLence OF WORK aud bread and water.
