this as . sample:

monkeys.
"A good sort of q man is this Darwin, and
Alb, it's sad and terrible thing to see nigh

eleo toral votes of Florida sborId be counted for
Hayes and Wheeler. final report was signed
by Bradley, Edmunds, Frelingh ysen, Garfield,
Hoar Miller, Morton and Srong,
In the formal report to the joint session the
commission will assign the following reasons
for their decisions:
l. The commission exercising the powers Of
both Hoases, undsr the law, aud having ex-
ahmed al the certificates ard papers referred
to them, fad that they have authority to
hear evidence aluDdi, or in other words to
hear evidence outside the certificates of the
Governor OF the State of Florida, founded upon
the determination of the canvassing board ss
to it's vote.
2 The commission could not consider as
evidence any act OF the Legislature or courts,
in determining whom the State had appointed
as electors after the day the said electors gave
their votes.
3. In regard to the alleged ineligibility of
F. c. Humphreys, there was not suffi Gent
proof that he held ofi6e on the 9TH Of Novem.
Der.
The commission continued in session until
hslf-past eight. Each of the fifteen members
made elaborate statement of his views of
the case, and the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolred, That the four persons, to wit:
Fred. c. Humphreys Charles w. Pearce, VIM.
II. Holden and T6os. W. Long, are duly ap-

abandoned. These will be presented in joint

RESTORING BURNT RECORDS. of
the public records in Paris, which were
burnt during the reign of the Commune,
were finally made available by an inge
Nous operation. AS they came from the
fire they were more like slabs of charcoal
than anything eIse, aud the caves would
fell away in powder on any attempts to
detarh them. In the operation of restoring
them, the backs of tie books were irst cut
away, mass of leaves remaining which
adhered closely to each other. The book
was chen stepped in water, and while wet
was exposed to heat. The water as it
evaporattJ raised tie leaves one by one
and with extraordinary precautions they
could be separated. Each sheet was then
deciphered, and the copy certified by
legal officer. The records of nearly 10000
legal acts were thus saved. 1t was not
difficult to reed the entries, as the writing
appeared of . dull black, while the paper
was lustrOus black.

THE GREAT ICE GoRGEs An immense loss
of property has resulted from the late great ice
gorge on tie MopoDgehela river. The flood,
occurring by. the dauming of the stream, on
breaking its frozen barrier, swept the great ice
masses before it, and these in turn destroyed
everything in their path. Whole fleets of coal
laden barges were borne along like chips TO
be crushed and Sunk on striking bridge pier
or other obstruction strong enough to resist
the terrible imuetns. When the gorge reached
P,,aburg, seven large steam boats, besides a
rumher of loaded coal packets and upwards
of 500 harges were swept away. Nearly all
were filled with COAL of which it is estimated
some 5 600 600 bushels were lost The tpples
used for dumping coal, built on the river bank,
were destroyed for distance of Elk teen miles,
and their wrecks with those of the vessels, lie
strewn over the shores in ineKtricable confp-
sion. The loss in the vicinity of Pittsburg is
placed at 81 900 600, to which must be added
the cost of clearing the channel of the deb. $
which low impedes navigation. At CincinnPti
the breakup of ice in the Ohio resulted in do
struotion almost as extensive and IS foil and
200 empty coal bsrges and several steamers
were sunk. 1t is estimated by coal shiPpers
that the total damage caused between Pitts
burg and Cairo will not fall short of twelve
million dollars.

The Missions Catalogues" says the Catholic
Rerie'C, has engraving, copied from a
photograph, of the lannon's wooden crucifx de-
stroyed by the burning of the Jesuit college of
Spring Hill, near Mobile, Ala, on the night of
the 4th and 5th of February, 1869. This beau
tiful cruoifE was carved by q converted Indian
named Antonio. 1t was about eighteen inches
in height and composed of four pieces: the
body, with the neck and head, less the face
the two arms and the face. The artist had ad-
justed this last part with such skIl that it was
difficult to discover whether it was a distinct
piece. By this means be was able to inlay,
from the interior, precious stones 10 imitation
of the eyes, thus giving to the Pbysioguomy
mysterious and divine expression. The college
Of Spring Hill took pride in the possession of
this crucifx, which excited the admiration of
all visitors"

IN .INFANT PHENOMENON.
IN. Y. Tribune.)

Harry Shannon is a little seven year-oId who
has been traped, according to the Boston
Transcript, by some couscieuceless wretch, to
memorIzs more than a thousand recit atoms,
and to speak in public for more than hour
at time. Daring one of his exhibitions in
Boston the other evening, when the lad had
spoken for about hour, a gentleman who
had been atrentively watching him through
an opera glass was observed TO go into the
dressing roop, for the purpose, it was sup
posed, Of conveTsiug with the manager for
suhsfq gently the manager announced that
complaint had been ruade thar tho boy was
being Overworked. and he wished it under
etood that these exhibitions were not o fati-
supposed Tine first mentioned gentleman here
arose in the audience, and apolog zing for the
nterfere1 ce, begged leave to express differ
emit opinion. He said emphatically that the
boy was wearied, SO wesred that his nerves
twitched," and for himself he would prefer to
pay more for a half hour of the entertainment
than to have it longer and, as he believed
to the injury of the boy. Upon this another
gentleman arose and said that he was the
father of the boy, that the child was not
wearied, and that fathers interest in his
child was usually as great as that of other
people. While n New York an offer of $50, 600
made for his services for six months, W hich
be (the father had declined, Preferring to
keep him under q fathers care The gentle

ART OF BEING AGREEABLE.-The true
art of being agreeable is To appear well
pleased with all the company, and rather
TO seem well entertained with them than
to give entertainment to them. a man
thus disp6sed perhaps may not have much
learning or any wit; but, il he has common
sense, and something friendly in his be-
havior, it conciIiates mems minds more than
the brightest talents without this DISPOSE
ton. and when a man of such a turn comes
to old age, he is almost cure to be treated
with respect. 1t is true, indeed, that we
should not dissembie and fiatter in COM
pany; buta man may be very agreeable,
strictly consistent with truth and sincerity,
by a prudent silence where he can not CON
cur, and a pleasing assent where he can.
Now and then you meet with a person so
exactly formed to please that he will gain
upon everyone that hears or beholds him.
This disposition is not merely the gift of
nature, but frequently the effect of much
kno Wedge of the world, and a command
over passions.

A GENTLE WORD.

A gentle word is never lost;
Oh never thsn refuse one:
1t cheer the heart when sorrow tost,
And lulls the cares that bruise one
1t sca1ters sunshine DER our way,
1t turns our rhorns to roses:
1t changes dreary night to day,
And hope ard peace discloses.
A gentle word is never lost
The fallen brother reads it;
How easy said. how small the cost,
What Joy and comfort speeds it'll
Then drive the shadow from thy brow,
a smile can well replace it;
Our voice is music when we speak
With gentle words TO grace it.

The cotton consumed BY the world y

weight of American bales. OF this total
the United States consumes 6,000, 900
pounds, Great Britain / ,297 100000 pounds,

States has "A little more than IA per cenr. of
the spindles, aud consumes little more
than 20 per cent. of the cotton. About 90
per cent. of the production of the spipdles
OF the United STATES is us.d at home, and
the remaining per cent. is exported. Per
contra, Is per cent. OF Great Britain's pro-
ducGion is all that is consumed at home.
and the remaing.S5 per cent. is exported
1t is possible toextend the demand for cot
ton fabrics almost indefinitely. At present
the manufacture of the staple in this coun-
try is at the rate of little over Is pounds
per head of the population, of which y
pounds is consumed bp them. Great Brit
ain annually exports from s350,0Oo000 to
1915. 100000 worth Annually, according as
the price of middling cotton is above or be-
low | 81 per pound. The value of the cot
ton goods exported from this country in
1874 was about 81, 100000 IN 1876 a little
over Sll 900 900, and they are now running
at the rare OF sl2,000,000 To $l4,O00,OO0 per
year. Great Britain sends one-fourth of
her exports TO the Continent and the other
three fourths To Asia, Africa, South Amer
lea, Mexico, Central America and AustI a.

In Asia, Africa and South America there
are from five to eight hundred millions OF

cotton cloth. 1t is now produced By hand

| Pile consuming at the rate OF five pounds
of cotton per head, would call for 1900 COO
more bales from our Southern States and
40 100000 more cotton spindles from Amer
lea or Europe to work them up. The Chi
nese Empire is supposed of itself TO con-
| tain that number of souls, and machine
made fabrics have but slightly displaced as
| yet those produced by hand. Except In
da, she is now the largest buyer of English
cotton goods. AT present, only one person
in seventeen in China has been served with
machine made goods at the rate of five
| pounds each year. Under the new treaty,
four new ports, two of them far in the in
terror, have been recently opened to for
eign To foreign com merce, and the control
of the river navigation by steamers has
passed into the hands of the Chinese mer-
chants. By an exchange for teas and silks
we may fairly expect to enlarge our cotton
exports with China very greatly. AmerI-
can cotton goods are esteemed highly in
China for their superior quality, and are
used in IA great variety o: ways besides for
cloth ing merely.
