bilities reached over a million Of dol
lars, but when they were incurred
his property was largely in excess Of
that amount. His property in slaves
before the war was valued at 500

loss. He had 5000 bales of cotton
destroyed by fire, which on a mod
crate valuation was worth 81 100000,
and his landed property was quite
large. His losses forced him into
bankruptcy, and all his property and

WINTER THE SUMNER or THE
BEArN.-Between the hood-tide of
social festivities at this season Of the
year and the political excitement
growing out Of the election of Pres
ident the community has been pretty
efectually perturbed. And as the
former can hardly be expected to
subside until the expiration of the
winter months, so will the latter
continue until after the Inauguration.
In the meantime, however, these
occurrences should not rob us of the
ordinary advantages of winter. They
are too important to be merged in
either.
1t is not an uncommon thing to
speak of winter as the season of in
action, but it is mainly to winter
that our special activity as people
is due. Summer, with its accompan-
iments, is paralyzing to the mental
energies, and, per consequence, to
the general energies. The acknowl-
edged superiority of northern to
southern people, in all continents, is
due to the climate. Some one has
slid that I" the frowning days and
long uneventful nights OF northern
winter life would be intolerable if
the brain did not hold a world which
can be adventurous and full of NOV
ing incidents, while the actual world
with its sights and noises, its strug-
giles and changes, are shut out and
as though they we're not" We have
in this observation an inkling of the
philosophy of northern civilization.
The mind is put in requisition.
Where nature supplies all wants,
and, petting her children, anticipates
their needs, and smoothes out all
the wrinkles Of care, degeneraoy is
inevitable. A rigid climate, desc
late and repulsive surroundings,
throw one back upon ones self, and
compel effort to make good the de.
fects of circumstances. Dreary win.
ter may seem to be cruel step.
mother, but in fact it is the kindest
and wisest of diseiplinarians.
1t is the time to lay in store an ex-
ira stock of knowledge. Whether
in country or city, the long-delayed
and lingering twiligbts of summer
tempt one to idleness. 1t is more in
keeping with the atmosphere of cir
cumstances to g lay off " and take it
easy. But the legitimate use of a
winter evening is to employ it in
reading. 1t does not require much
time to go through newspaper and
CLEAN from it the bits of information
to be expected from that source. A
main feature of the evening should
be the Perusal of some really good
book. Itmatters little whether it be
history, romance, dissertation or
poetry, if only it is really good in
its way. The term hibernate is a
synonym for being in state Of stu
por, It is borrowed from the animal
kingdom. 1t is a contradiction of
terms, but not of ideas, to say Of
men that they hibernate in summer
and estivate in winter. The brain
reyels in the sunshine of activity
when there is the least about us to
attract attention and distract thought.
Vegetation needs heat; meditation
frost. The history of races abun.

iectual advantages Of a cool over a
hot Temperature. In a word. Win

The rate Of speed with which the young
railroad king VAspEnDILr was carried
from Toledo to Elkhnrt, n distance Of l43
miles, is almost incredible. The average
time was less than one minute and four sec
onds to the mile. This almost rivals the
telegraph and the telephone, and dispellS
all imaginary advantages of overcoming
space by means OF the balloon. We Won
der what would have been the astonislment
ofthe'old Pennsylvania German farmer had

lightning velocity. This unSophistic"ted

Our trade with Jupan increases fast. The
Japanese people are inventive. When they
buy our fabrics they set about improving
them, and their genius is displayed in many
such innovations. When our Govern ment
sent Commodore PERRY to break the ex-
clusiveness Of japan, we sent among other
presents a case of SHARPL,s rifles. Two
years later the japanese Government sent
to us return presents. Among them was
what appeared to be the identical box Of
SHARPE's rifles. The box lore exact re-
semblance, and the rifles the same, even to
the name Of "Sharpe" engraved upon them.
Our Government supposed this 10 be the
evidence of disapproval, for inspectors pro-
nounced them the same rifles returned.
SHARPE was sent for at Philadelphia. The
first sharp survey revealed to him a cer-
tain Improvement which had bafiled his
inventive genius, and which lie had given
upas impractical. Itsavcd one extra move
ment in breech-loading, and SHARPE i'm
mcdiately adopted it.

CONCLUSION.

I
| The evils Of intempcrance are wide
spread, deap seated and pcrmeate society
AG water the wetled sponge. The remedy
must go as deap aud be as far reaching as
the dIsease. A half century of observation
has disclosed the fact that this giant curse
| OF mankind, can not be removed by peri
odical, apasmodic effort. The application
Of the remedy must be censeless, tirelcss
essentially antIcipatory in its character,
seeking 10 prevent rather than 10 care drunk
enness. The history Of the temperance entt r
PRISE impresses upon the mind the unwel-
come trnth that whatever has heretofore
been gained Ia the cause during period
OF intense labor and sacrifice, has been lost
or greatly impaired, whenever AN iltermis'
sion OF effort succeeded. The reason is
plain. Philanthrophy can work only by
fits and starts; IL tires and relaxes, and is
carried on of necessity by a system of re.
lays; whereas misanihrOpy and mammon
have a machinery and motive force which
are co impact, ineessant and tireleps They
know no repose and need no rest their
