Cost Of Smoking.

A week ago we copied and commented
upon a paragraph from Rarper's Bazaar re-
latlng to Mr.. Hubbard, a gentleman who
built fine residence with the money which
he had saved by not indulging in the ex-
pensive habit of smoking. A reliable COR
respondent. who is personally acquainted
with Mr.. Hubbard, verifes all of the essen
tial statements made, and furnishes the
following additional particulars Z" lie was
about IS years old when he determined to
lay aside day by day the money which be
would have spent for cigars had he been a
smoker At the end of each month he de-
posted at interest the sum thus accumula-
ted in savings bank. AS the price of good
cigars advanced he correspondingly increas-
ed the amount of money to be laid away
each day. From time to time, when his
savings in the bank reached few hundred
dollars, he would draw them out to make a
better investment. By wise and shrewd
management the fund amounted to from
s15, 900 to $4,000 few years since. Mr..
Hubbard then took this money, and with
it purchased charming site on the Green
wich Hill, and built commodious and
comfortable home for himself and family.
The place overlooks Long Island .Sound, ,and
commands one OF the widest and finest
views that can be found along the Connec-
ticut shore. Troy (N. ~ Times.

The Utah Northern.
From the Salt Lake Tribune, Oct. 6.

fr0ip Lne salt Lake lTlDun0, OcL. D. r. T. r.
The Union Pacific magnates, Sidney Dill
Ion, Jay Gould and S. H. Fl. Clark, were
in Salt Lake city Thursday, having come
down from Ogden ON business visit il con-
nection with the Utah Northern railroad.
On the occasion OF the visit of these gentle
men last summer negotiations began look
ing to the Union Pacific assuming control
of the Northern, and extending it towards
Montana so as to control the carrying trade.
The negotiations were concluded Thursday,
the necessary papers receiving the sigma
lures of the Union Pacific officials. The
Utah Northern is to be extended northward
for some distance, the intentions being to
have the winter terminus somewhere in the
vicinity of Fort Hall. Contracts will be
let. and work commenced immediately, and
by the time the grade is ready the rails will
be on the ground. There is quantity of
rails already at hand, besides vast number
of ties. Probably within few weeks the
and by the time snow falls and winter sets
in twenty-i We or thirty miles of additional
road will be in use. This is death blow
to the fortunes of Corinne, which has here
tofore largely controlled the Montana
freight business. The Union Pacific having
the control of the Northern, will hereafter
ship northern freight over that line, leaving
Corinne out in the cold, a mere way station
of the Central Pacific. Tt Is probable that
the completed line of the Utah Northern
may be changed hereafter in some places,
but no alterations are to be made this sea-
son.

Pisiy Sermon to Young Men.

You are the architects of your oya for
tunes. Rely upon your own strength of
body and soul. Take for your motto, self
reliance, honesty, and industry take for
your star, faith, perseverance, and pluck ;
and inscribe upon your banner, g Be just
and fear not" Don't take too much adj
vice; keep at the helm and steer your own
ship. Strike out. Think we'll of yourself.
Fire above the mark you intend to hit.
Don't practice excessive humanity-you
can't so above your level ; put potatoes in
cart over rough road and the small ones
will go to the bottom. Energy, with an
invincible determination and right mo-
tive, ara the levers that rule the world.
The art of commanding is to takea fair
share of the work. Civilitys costs nothing
and buys everything. Don't drink, don't
smoke. don't swear, don't gamble, don't
steal, don't deceive, don't tatIle. Be polite,
be generous, be kind. Study hard, play
hard. Be in earnest, be self-reliant. Read
goGd books Love your fellow man as you
love virtue. Always do what your som
science tells you is your duty, andleaye the
consequence with God.

How Brigham Young Made Work for Idle Nor
mons,

Brigham Young had great aversion to
Mormons loafing, and traveller recalls an
interview with him years since on the sub
ject of keeping idle men employed. The
talk was suggested by the ruins fan adobe
wall, which was built about Salt Lake City
in the early days of it's settlement. "Well,
the chief purpose of this WALL explained
Brigham, "was to keep three hundred or
four hundred immigrants from being idle.
You see, we had large immigration one
year, three hundred or four hundred able
bodied men. They arrived i'll August-too
late to do anything on their farms. Now,
an idle man, is always bad man. Still,
we had nothing for them to do. How can
I employ them? asked myself. Then
thought of this wall. To make it seem ne
cessary we had to pretend that we were
threatened by the Indians around us. This
was easily done, for several parties OF In
dians had been lowering around the town.
In few days we worked up the enthusiasm
for protection, and put these hundreds OF
idle men to work. The wages were small,
but they all worked steadily, during the
whole fall and winter" "And no Indians
ever troubled the town?'' s'No, never
thought they would. But four hundred idle
men would have troubled it. We were in
more danger from idle men than from In
dians. And this has always been my idea;
whenever found and idle Mormon I have
set him to work-kept him busy with his
hands and brain, and then he is always sure
to be good citizen"

Terrible Tale Of the sea-Drinking His Com
rade's Blood.

Misfortunes at sea have been rather fire.
quent of late. A contemporary gives the
following account of the sufferings from
hunger and thirst of shipwrecked crew:
The Mcdonald Northern American ship,
fell in with the English bark Maria in. 81
deg. % min. N. latitude and 80 deg. 80 min.
West longitude finding on her upper deck
two men, the only survivors of a crew OF
fourteen. For thirty-two days they had
been without food owing 10 the communi-
cation with the cabin and hold being cut
off, aud were under the painful necessity of
eating the flesh and drinking the blood of
those who had already succumbed. One OF the
two who were rescued was Sc )tchman, the
other, an Irishman from Belfast, who rela-
ted tile following:
One night, after four days passed without
anyone having died, the cravings of hum
ger and an Unsuitable thirst caused me to
awake. All my companions were asleep,
the greater part evidently experiencing
restless dreams. The man who was stretch
ed close to me was the only one who did not
appear to move or breathe, although he was
regarded as the strongest Of the company.
[ put my hand to his forehead; it was cold.
l took his pulse; it did not beat. He had
died of thirst and was our spoil. My weak
ness was extreme, and before announcing to
my companions the mournful intelligence
that there would be supper that night,
thought I would alleviate my unquencha-
BILE thirst, and without making the least
noise opened a vein in the arm of my poor
dead companion and commenced greedily
to drink his blood. care you quite sure
that am dead, companion?'' he said to
me, returning to consciousness, and with a
sad accent, for he had only swooned. Judge
how I felt on hearing that voice. ceased
to drink his blood and called one of my
companions who was surgeon. After ex-
amining the wounded man attentively, he
turned to me and said, g You have saved
him; without your aid he would have died;
he absolutely required to be bled.'
These two unfortunates were the only
survivors of the Inflated Maria.

Geos BUSINESS.

New York, Oct. s.-The World has a
long article going to show that in almost
every department Of the wholesale trade Of
New York, business during September has
been more satisfactory than for five years
past. There is great encouragement among
merchants and unusual preparations made
for controlling business from regions which
hitherto had only limited relations with
New York. Competition is keen and the
nrofits are consequently small. The only
real exception to the rule appears to be in
hardware and straw goods. The most
striking feature Of the revival is the flee
demand for luxuries. The sales Of jewelry
and diamonds lately exceed the most san
euine anticipations Of merchants. There
Is 4 total absence of speculation and the
tendency seems to be to supply legitimate
wants.

BETTER THINGS.


Better to live in golden lands than join in strikes bach

Better to nse sefrising flour than have to buy youl

Better to g batch" and use tin plates, that answer
just as well,
Than eat off dainty china, and blk the poor hotel
Better smoke your briar-root pipe, tobacco by the
pound
Better let cigars alone until the pay streas found.
Better rise at early dawn and look for prospects
bright;
Better to go bed at nine than roam and brawl all
night;
Better work out by the day, and toll for wages fair
Better a cabin in the guch than castles in the air;
Better keep the ills you have and work your claim or

Better stay at home by half than join the new stam

Better watch your course through life, its guiding
star will then
Better things point out to you till all are better men.

Clusters Funeral.
New York Herald, Cd.

For nearly year the body of Genera
Custer rested near the spot where he fell
upon that fatal field where he and his men
foughs with unavaiiing courage till not one
was left to tell the story of the day. The
valley Of the Little Horn is made sacred by
their blood, and the soldier could have no
grave more fitting than the field ON which
he perished. But with regard to the re-
mains of General Custer the case is differ
ent. He had frequently expressed the wish
tie his tomb should be at West Point.
There he was educated as q soldier and
taught that his first duty was to give his
life. if necessary, to the service of his coun-
try. This he did fearlessly and nobly, and
now all that the country can do is to give
him grave. In accordance with his known
wishes, therefore, the body of General Gus
ter will be buried at West Point, ON the
10th of this month, with the appropriate
and imposing ceremonies due to the rank he
held in the army, but, more than all, the
still higher position he occupied in the es-
timation of his country as one of the bravest
and most chivalrous of the fighting soldiers
of the army. His funeral should be hon.
ored not by the government alone, but by
the people, for whose benefit his life was
heroicaly surrendered. 1t is not altogether
in the spirit of mourning that these obse-
quies should be celebrated, for time, which
softens the grief of nation for dead hero,
also brightens his fame. The occasion
should be made of national significance, and
| West Point on the day Of Custer's funeral
should be the Mecca to which every pat
riotic American should turn in reverence
and pride.

The Paper Died.

When the Morning Ledger was started,
says Sam Davis in the Argonaut, Dan
O'Connell, Jessop and myself were employ
ed on the local staff. Harry George was
manager of the concern, and had an idea
that poetry Original poetry was the man
thing to catch the Sunday readers. In this
we all concurred, and somebody suggested
that the poems should be illustrated. !
agreed to furnish the engravings, and the
next day called on Alex. Radlam, whoma |
knew had the facilities, and he loaned me
about a bushel of old wood-cuts which had
seen service in Sacramento on some illustra-
trated newspaper venture of his own years
ago. The drawings were by Nahl, and the
engraving very good. When the basket
was brought in, Mr.. George sat down and
began to paw over the blocks, distributing
them among the staff, remarking as he
handed O'Connell square foot of lockwood,
"Here, Dan, is woman watching for a
ship at sea. Dish up half column OF
poetry on it, entitled Waiting" Dan
took the block and surveyed it carefully, as
he observed: Sc 1t strikes me this is meant
for a washerwoman, and she's waiting to
see if the little niger on the wharf is going
to make raid on the clothes basket" s'In
that case" replied Mr.. George, eve can
saw off the niger and the wharf; that will
leave the sea and beach on the right, and
it's just the thing" A handsaw was
brought into requisition and the block was
sawed in two. "Now. Dan, start that right
up; the printers are waiting for copy. And,
Sam, tack few verses on the nigger, and
then Wen have two tirst-class cuts and two
pieces of original poetry The next cut
he picked up was woman sitting on rock
watching some mules, but by saving off the
mules and gouging a club out of the
woman's hand with chisel, Jessop was
enabled to build upon it a poem entitled
'sDeserted," and calculated to bring tears
to the eyes of a Mills s-seminary girl by the
time the sixth verse was reached. Some
times Mr.. George would saw up big en-
craving into three pieces, and divide it be-
tween us. In addition to our regular sal
aries, we got Sc column for these verses,
and the carpentering work at the head was
sometimes counted into the measurement
as special tribute to meritorious endeayor.
Whenever the saloon keeper, next door, saw
the Sunday issue pretty we'll filled with
original poetry, he would contemplate a
heavy run Of custom on payday, and view
the scores ON the slate with more cheerful
ness than doubt. One day a temperance
poem. penned by Jessop, got mixed up
with picture intended to represent q
widow weeping over her lovers grave, by
Dan, and the poem O'Connel wrote got un-
der the picture that had been carefully
sawed and trimmed for Jessop. The change
looked peculiar, but no one ever noticed it.
On one occasion, after an elaborate poem
had been written by combination effort Of
al three of us, the cut was mislaid just as
the paper was going to press. An old Vim
egar Bitters cut cut was put in. however,
and then a bill for advertising sent the
agents of the bitters. .a. ~ @
He paid it cheerfully. @ m
