own, but the market is not brisk. There is
but little coming in. A considerable guam
tity of XXX brands have been shipped North
in the past week, which has had a tendency
to make the prices more firm. The butter
market is dull. The continued open wealth
er which is without parallel since the settle
ment of Montana, has had much to do with
the prices of this commodity. The roads have
been good, and those dairymen having large
lots have been bringing it in freely, while
many of the farmers who, in ordinary win
tiers, would not have done anything except
attend to their stock. milk a few cows, make
a few pounds of butter each week, which,
though generally of a better quality than
has been in the markets this winter, has
been too plentiful to bring extrayagant
prices. 1t is not probable that the prices
for the best grades will exceed the present
quotations.

The American boy is proverbially
given to the indscorous practice of sur
reptitiously depositing in the collection
basket, at church and Sunday school
buttons, bits of hardware, and other
articles which are devoid of value as
aids to spreading the gospel. Such
practices are to be expected of the live
ly young American, but hardly of his
more staid and well behaved cousin,
the youthful Britisher. Yet SO griev-
ously does young England appear to be
given to the Objectionable habit, that a
prominent English Bishop has ordered
the discontinuance of the old-fashion-
ed black bags which have been used in
the churches for gathering of aims.
The Bishop says that evil disposed per-
sons have dropped into these bags news
paper scraps, insulting letters, and
other things of no use whatever. He,
therefore, orders that basins or deep
plates shall henceforth be used, so that
whatever is deposited In them may be
seen of all men.

THE New York Graphic says? Now
is the time to begin business. The tide
is completely out and just on the re-
turn. Prices of all kinds are at the
bottom figure. Wages are low and
money is cheap. The great firms of
the future will date from 1877. Those
who put unemployed funds into real
estate at the present low valuations or
purchase mills and manufactures are
sure to gain. However it may be with
the affairs of some of our newspapers,
which think the world is coming to an
end because things go i'll with them,
the times are steadily improving, bus.
mess is bound to revive, prosperity is
coming, and the men who are wise
enough to take advantage of the pres
emit depressed condition of wages and
the prices of all kinds of material tc
start in some needed business will rear
an abundant harvest In due time. And
the sooner people set at work in al
wise ways the quicker business of all
kinds will revive.

The custom of feasting at funeral
still prevails in Lehigh, Berks, Bucks
and Northampton counties, Pennsyl-
vania. When rich farmer dies prep
arations for the feast begin on a grand
scale. Oxen are killed and the fatted
calf is brought to the block, fowls are
slaughtered by the hundred and inn
mense supplies of bread and pastry are
provided. On the day of the funeral
banqueting goes on from dawn to
nightfal. Sometimes as many as 500
mourners attend a country funeral to
eat the baked meats.

An Americans Adventure IN France
From the Pail Mall Gazette:

A touching incident which occurred
q few days ago to a rich Ameri-
can, when travelling from Basic in
the express train to Paris, has created
much sensation in that city. The
traveller was the sole occupant of q
coupe, and carried with him $4,000.
At IL o'clock at night, being on French
territory and fast asleep, he was sud-
denly awakened by tug at the couri-
er's bag which was slung round his
shoulder. He started to his legs and
found himself face to face with q
beardless young man of distinguished
appearance, who forthwith attempted
to escape from the carriage. The
American gentleman, however, held
him fast by the collar and called loudly
for assistance, but failed to make him.
self heard.
The young man then, falling on his
knees, i:nplored pardon for his attempt
at robbery, stating that he was a Rus
sian, who, being compromised by the
affairs that have lately taken place in
Servia, was taking refuge in France.
Being penniless, he had hidden him.
self upon the roof of one of the rail-
way carriages, hoping thus to reach
Paris, where he had friends, and only
entered the compartment where he
found the American on account of the
piercing cold, which was unbearable,
on the top of the carriage. The Amer
lean, touched by this story, with tears
in his eyes, offered to pay the strangers
fare to Paris.
On arrival at the terminus the Amer
lean left the young stranger for a few
minutes to look after his luggage, but
on his return was unable to find him.
His suspicious being aroused he exam
med his pockets, and found that a
small purse containing q check for q
large amount on d Paris banker was
missing. He ran to the police office
and gave information of the robbery,
and also stepped payment OF the check.
The police, it is stated, entertain hopes
of bringing the offender to justice.

THE telephones voice sounded be.
tween Boston and Providence recently.
Conversation was carried on in moder-
ately loud tones, and the notes of q
cornet were carried over forty-three
miles of wire. Prof. Bell says that the
Incidental conditions of relays, atmos-
pheric density, and the interningling
of wires interfere with the instrument,
and that he thinks he can do better
with AN ocean cable of perfect insula-
ton than with any land wire.

A SCRAMBLE for dead mems shoes ID
common enough, but Pits5urg has just
been Disguised at rush which has been
made in that city for the shoes OF q
man who was merely quite SICK ana
with about equal chances for and
against his recovery. He was an
agent in the Pennsylvania Railroad
ticket Office, and almost SIS soon as 1t
was known that he was sick over two
hundred applications were immediately
made for his place. He finally died,
and within a few moments OF his
death one hundred more applications
were made. The railroad officials were
SO disguised at this unseemly haste that
it threw all the applications In the IRE

place who had not asked for it.

SECRETARY r. w. THOMPSON is a
great talker." It is said that although
nearly sixty-eight years old he has in

and is SIS handsome a gentleman of the
old school as can be found in any of

and broad, and the snowy hair is
brushed back from it something after
the old Jacksonian style. The eyebrows
are dark and overhang' pair of won
derfully bright, expressive eyes.

IT is estimated that by the middle of
April Liverpool viii have stock of
cotton amounting to 100000 bales,
the largest stock known in that market
since 1860. It is this heavy weight of
cotton that keeps prices from advanc-
ing to meet the American markets,
and keep back also any favorable inhu-
ence from our light receipts. Cotton
has gone forward more rapidly this
year than for many years past, and this
is why Liverpool is getting her maxi
mum 80 early.

VARIOUS NOTES.

A CURIOUS practice prevails at Havre,
France, of devoting to public charity
one franc in each thousand of the
sums received at public auction of mer-
chandise or ships. 1t is paid by the
purchaser, and last year amounted to
about 1900. In Bordeaux the same
is done by dealers in wool and skins.
