WinslOW, the Treasury Thief.

OF Ferd s. Winslow, the dishonest
clerk, who recently stole $1,000 from
the treasury at Washington, and SUBJ
sequently restored the money, the Chi
cago Times says: "It appears that
Winslow is rather noted character.
His real name is J. S. Golden. He was
agent of Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co..
in Europe, for the negotiation of
Northern Pacific bonds, whereby cert1in
Dutch capitalists were swindled to an
enormous extent. He was the man who
transferred the railroad pledged to these
bondholders to Robson, who used it
in his famous transaction with Jaw
Cooke, McCultoch & Co., in London.
when he Illegally transferred Ger ain
naval funds. Mr.. Golden, it is said, has
also served term of five years in the
penitent airy at Christiania, Sweden, for
forgery, In 1873, when in Europe, the
swindled Dutch bondholders got after
him, and he attempted to escape them
by suicide. He jumped from the dock,
but was rescued, and, through the eff
forts of his friends, he was sent back to
this country. During the war he was
contractor, and the Government has
tolerably good evidence that he swim
died it, at Port Hudson, out of $40, 900
in furnishing supplies. His Scandina-
Wan Bank swindle is familiar to all Chi
cago peoF le." atat

Our British Imports.

The official statement of the British
and Irish exports to the United States
for the first eleven months of the year
ending Nov. 30, 1876, shows notice
able falling off in some of the manufac-
lures that we have been in the habit of
buying largely of. Thus, our imports
of cotton piece-goods fell off from
76, 1853, 600 yards in 1875 to 50, 1897, 400
yards in 1876; china and earthenware
from 9574, 600 value in 1876 to ESP, 600
in 1876; hardware and cutlery from
1922, 600 value in 1875 to 1927, 600
value in 1876; railroad iron from 1900
tons to $40 tons; linen piece-goods from
90,OO0,OOO yards to $4,000, 900 yards !;
machinery from 9166,0O0 value to
100000 value; wooden cloths from
2,547, 800 yards to 1,434, 800 yards :;
worsted stuffs from 100000 yards to
100000 yards, and carpets from
100000 yards to $4,000 yards. 1t
may be mentioned in this connection
that our exports of cotton goods show
large increase for 1876 -76, 456 packages
against Al, 900 packages for the previ-
GUS year, from New York alone, and
from Boston $4,000 packages against
1900 packages in 1872. These large
exports for 1876 are partially explained
by our diminished capacity to consume
cotton goods; but even making allow
ance for this, the fact remains that our
manufacturers are becoming able to
compete with the British in the unpro-
tected markets of the world.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
By MRS. s. It. FERRY.

The spring-time has come again, Will,
AS in the years of yore.
The maple trees are leafing out,
Before the cottage door,
Ard the glad birds have come again,
singing their merry glees,
Building their nests rearing their young,
Up'in our maple trees.
The silver brook is dancing, Will,
Along its pebbly way,
And on its rocky ISLANDS now
The little children play. -
I've watched them at their sport this morn
The fashions come and go
But plays are just the same as ours
Were twenty years ago.
The children have their playhouse, VIII,
Just where ours used TO De;
They have their broken bits OF ware,
Their acorn cups for tea.
The bows split wood and build the fire,
Just as you did, you know,
when we kept house upon those rocks
Some twenty years ago. s$s
The woodbine climbs the lattice, Will,
And hides the porch from sight.
Do YOU remember how it stood?
Not much beyond our height. E@ s&
marked the place where your head came,
You marked the place of mine
But you and have grown some, too,
Since that far off spring-time.
We have never met since then, Will.
AS man know you not;
The Dlack-eyed bog of those glad days,
Has never been forgot.
While sitting in your mansion grand,
With your proud wife, to-day,
] wonder if there comes thought 81

A Peruvian Election.

The election Of President in Peru is
attended with interesting incidents. The
last election was begun on October II,
and continued eight days, ending in the
victory Of Gen. Prado. The tables or
polling booths are placed in the public
squares, one in each parish, and the re-
suit depends less on the actual franchise
than on which party gets possession of
these tables. In this instance, as usual,
the parties armed themselves previous
to the election, on the first day of which
all places OF business were closed. In
Lima firing was begun at midnight, and
at daylight all the tables had been cap
tured by Prado's adherents. In the con-
tests twenty-five persons were killed,
and sixty wounded. Prado's party was
equally successful throughout the coun-
try. The killed and wounded were
mainly members of political clubs, or
candidates for small offices. Other cit
liens stayed indoors until the trouble
WAS over

Wool i'm California.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
"Twenty years ago the product of wool
in this State did not exceed 100000
pounds year. This year it will not fall
far short of 10000 600 of greatly superior
quality. The exports last year by rail
and steamer amounted to $4,000, 600
pounds in round numbers, nearly
1900, 900 pounds of which came from
Oregon, which State is making rapid
strides forward in the wool-growing In
dustry. The quality of next years crop
will be far better than the last, owing to
the early rains, which started the young
grass early in the fail. Stock of every
kind is in good condition at the present
time, and, unless the winter should be
unusually severe, the losses will certain
be very small"

Large Land Claim,

A good deal of excitement and talk
has been occasioned in Southeast Kan
sas by reason of the report that Mount
Pleasant, chief of the once celebrated
Tuscarora tribe of Indians, had made a
claim to ], 100000 acresyof land situated
at and above Folt Scott, Kansas, and
that he had lately found important
papers which would substantiate his
claim beyond all doubt. Mr.. Mount
Pleasant now resides in Niagara county.
New York, and has engaged eminent
counsel to submit his claim.

The Polar RaSin.

Concerning the Polar basin, Sir Geo..
Mares says that it is locked-up bay
continuing out Of the narrowed North
Atlantic channel, with a warm stream of
water constantly pouring into it between
Spitzbergen and Norway, and cold icy
one as constantly running out between
Spitzbergen and Greenland, and also
between the very narrow straits between
Greenland and America-the first con-
veying an enormous source of heat to-
ward the north, the latter causing the
intense cold of Canada and that on the
east side of Greenland and North
America.

English Railway Statistics.

The statistics of British railways, for
the year 1875, are only just out, but are
of interest even at this late day. They
show especially that the absorption Of
capital by the English railway system is
still enormous, the total plant having
risen from 953O,00O,OOO in 1870, to
$3.50, 900, 900 in 1875, an expansion at the
rate Of $500, 100000 year. The average
return on the investment was s. OF per
cent. in 1875, against 4. ~ in 1874, and
only 6 per cent. OF it pays no profit at
all. At current quotations, English
railway stock pays the investor only
or 5 per cent, though some of them
pay 12aa per cent. on par. The passen-
ger receipts have risen from FL, 235 per
train mile in 1870, to 91, 543 in 1875, al
most all of which is due to the revolu-
ton effectei by the Midland railroad in
the treatment OF third-class passengers,
and the consequent growth of that por-
ton of the business. Freight still fur
nishes Sc per cent. of the receipts, and
grows slowly but steadily. Expenses
per mile open have risen from FL ,357,
in 1870, to FL, 933, in 1876. The indica-
tions are that the English railways are
surely drifting on to a crisis like that
which has overtaken American roads,
when they will be compelled at the
same time to improve their service and
reduce it's cost. Of the total gross re-
ceipts, per cent was discussed in the

BIRTHDAY VRRS ES.
WRITTEN IN A cH1Lp's ALBUM.

Twas sung of old in hut and hall
How once King in evil hour
Hung musing DER his castle wall,
And, lost in idle dreams let fall
Into the sea mis- ring of power.
Then. let him sorrow as he might,
And pledge his daughter and his throne
To who restored the jewel bright,
The broken spell would meier unite;
The grim old ocean held his own.
Those awful powers OIL man that wait,
On man, the beggar or the King,
To howell bare or hail of state f
magic ring that masters fate
With each succeeding birthday bring.
Therein are set four jewels rare:
Pearl winter, summers ruby blaze,
Springs emerald, and, than all more fair,
Falls pensive opal, doomed to bear
A heart of fire bedreamed with haze.
To him the simple spell who knows
The spirits of the ring to sway.
Fresh power with every sunrise flows,
And royal pursuivants are those
That Fly his mandates to obey.
But he that with slackened will
Dreams of things past or things to be,
From him the chasm is slipping still,
And drops, ere he suspect the i'll,
Into the memorable sea.

contributed to make the event the grand
