| stood on the stoop of some
offices, on a public thoroughfare,
talking to some gentlemen. A
young man passed who recognized
my friend. The passer was small
and slim, had foreign look and
his age could not have been thirty.
"You see that young man." said
the gentlemaN she is one of the
smartest young men in New York.
He had a fine position in one of
our heaviest importing houses. He
was the confidential clerk of the
house, and would have been trusted
with uncounted gold. The house
was underselling the market, and
dealers wanted to know how it was
done. They approached this young
clerk, and he gave his employers
away. He gave the private papers
to the rival houses, and at night
opened the contingencies to in
spection. 1t cost the firm $250,000
to settle up matters, and somebody
paid the clerk $50, 900 on condition
that he left the city. The money
burnt in his pocket. He went into
speculation. From speculation he
went into gambling. He is now as
poor as a church mouse, with no
business and nobody to trust him"

PAPER FLOUR BARRELS.

A firm at Syracuse, New York, are now
manufacturing a novel -four barrel. The
barrels are composed of straw paper
pulp, which was run into a mould made
In the shape of one-half OF a barrel cut
vertically. The pulp is subjected to a
powerful hydraulic pressure, and, when
reduced to the required thickness, the
ends of the halves are cut off at the ends
The pieces are then placed in steam
drier, and the sides are trimmed evenly
and the substance thoroughly dried. 1t
comes from the drier ready for making
up into barrels. There are three heavy
wooden hoops and two hoops fastened
together and into grooves cut in the
Saves the paper halves, which have an
average thickness of three-sixtee of
an inch, are slid. The ends of the bar
rels are made of paper of similar thick
ness, constructed upon the same princi-
pies as the sides, and protected by heavy
wooden ones. The advantages of these
barrels over wooden ones are ightness,
cheapness, durability, and the preven-
ton of flour sitting out while in transit.
They are constructed entirely by machi-
merry, and the halves are cut so true that
any pieces of the same size will readily
Fl together. They will not cost more
than one-third the price of wooden bar
rels, are lighter, and fit so nicely in the
grooves that there is no chance for -four
to slip through, which loss is quite a
heavy per centage in the use of other
kinds.

Spilled Mlk.-This morning as a
milkman named Williams was driving
down Washington street, near Sixth, his
horse, ayoung colt, became frightened at
an ash cart and ran away.
In trying to turn the corner the colt
ran against tree and cut slight cut in
its forehead, but sustained no other in
jury. This mishap, however, stopped
the runaway. The wagon was upset,
and several gallons Of milk spilled into
the street.

mission of Kellogg as ga rebuke to Presl =

Davis doesn't stick to either party;
there's enough Of him to go round"
Now that Sitting Bull has kicked the
commission out of his presence, he has
found out that he misunderstood its propo-

From Washington correspondence.
PRESIDENT HAYES'S BXTRAVA'
CANOE.
REPUBLICAN GRowLs.

The dissatisfied Republicans of Con-
gress are tonight criticising very much
the estimates of appropriations for the
executive mansion, which they say shows
little Inconsistency when viewed with
the expressed administration policy of
economy and reform. Grant only asked
for $2,500 for contingent expenses of the
White House for the last year of his term
while President Hayes asks for 81, 900 for
contingent expenses for his first year.
He also asks for $14, $40 for salaries of
the clerical force at the executive man
sion, while Gen. Grants last year, with
all the hirelings around him, asked for
$12,500 only. In addition to this the
new President asks for 1866 to pay tor
and maintain for one year the horses
and carriage which were purchased for
him after his entrance into office.
TOTAL ESTIMATES.
The total estimates for the support of
the government for the next fiscal year
are $3.50, ,6S8, 100, as against $299, ,611, ,671,
for the last fiscal year. The appropria>
tions made for this fiscal year, exclusive
of the army bill just passed, were $685.
96S,070.
KELLoGG's LEANING.
1t is said in democratic circles that
Ar. Kellogg has already since his en-
trance into the Senate shown that he
purposes to be known as an administra
ton Senator, and that a prior under
standing to this effect helped him very
much to secure certain votes.
CONSOLATION.
The Democratic Senators to-day all
signed letter addressed to Judge Spot
ford regretting his unsuccessful contest
for the seat in the Senate which prop
eriy belonged to him, and their appre
cation of the dignity and ability with
which he has made the contest.

LITTLE THINGs.-It is only lit
tie thing-only small sacrifice
therefore, it is not appreciated.
How many admirable actions are
overl ooked because they are little
and common. Take for instance the
mother who has had broken slumber,
if any at all, with the nursing babe,
whose wants must not be disregard
ed, she would fain sleep awhile when
the breakfast hour comes, but pa
tiently and uncomplainingly she
takes her timely seat at the table.
Though exhausted and weary she
serves all with a refreshing cup of
coffee or tea before siping any her
self and often the cup is handed
back before she has time to taste her
own. Do you hear her complain
this weary mother-that her break
fast is cold before she has time 10
eat it And that is not for one but
for every morning perhaps through
the year. Do you call this a small
thing Try it and see. Oh, how wo-
man shames man by her forebearance
and fortitude in what is called little
things? 1t is these little things that
are test of character. 1t is by these
"little" self-denials, borne with
such self-forgotten gentleness, that
the humblest home is made beauti-
full, though we fail to see it, also,
until the chair is vacant and the
hand that kept in motion all the do
mestic machinery is powerless and
cold !"

ANGELIQUE DEFEATED.
THE BRiNoKLE DIVORCE CASE ENDED
IN FAVOR OF THE RESPONDENT.

The jury in the case of Brinckle
VS.. Brinckle after being out all of
Saturday night, agreed yesterday
about 9 o'clock, and sealing their
verdict separated. At 10 o'clock
this morning they came into Court,
and after the Judge had opened the
envelope containing their decision
the foreman announced the verdict
as for the defendant. Neither the
libellant nor respondent was present,
but their legal representatives were.
The Judge, in his charge to the
jury, recognized the fact that "men
are induced to form immoral rela-
tions through an infatuation fostered
by designing women quite as often
as women are enticed into them by
the unscrupulous of the other sex"
