Elephant Labor in London.

"It is very seldom" says the London
Globe, " that in England elephant labor
is utilized, but an instance recently oc-
CURED which is worthy of record. The
road at the junction of Waterloo and
York roads has been lately broken up,
and an omnibus proceeding from Siam
ford street toward the Wandsworth road
was so heavily laden that the horses
were unable to drag the load. Several
of the passengers alighted, and, while
the horses we're endeavoring in vain to
get over the piece of ground, ore of
Sanger's elephants, under the charge OF
a keeper, passed along the road. See
ing the helplessness of the horses, the
keeper gave instructions to the elephant,
who lowered his head, and, placing his
forehead at the rear of the bus, pushed
horses, vehicle, and passengers beyond
the obstacle which impeded their pro-
eress. This was witnessed by q large
number of persons, who loudly cheered
the actors in this incident"

The Printing Business.

RoaOeLPs Newspaper Reporter and
Printers Gazette confirms other evil
dence in reporting the newspaper and
printing business in New York city at
its very lowest ebb. Never year, it
says, in the memory of the oldest printer
has the business been more Improbable;
the circulation and advertising patron
age of the newspapers have fallen off
alarmingly; not one of the large book
and job Offices has even fair supply of
work; competition was never so active,
and prices are absurdly low. There are
now in the city 500 printers out of work,
and, though the nominal prices for
piece-work range from 40 to 45 cents a
thousand, many Offices pay but 80 cents,
and weekly wages range from $15 and
$16 to $18 and $19, and first class Adams
pressmen are down to 800. The coun-
try printing offices, as a rule, we think,
are in better condition than this; cor
tainly the year 1876 was an average
good one with them for hard times; but
we fear 1877 is to borrow its quality
from the present condition of things in
the Cities Republican.

or Paris can now order goods by tele-
graph, as he wants them from any part
of the commercial world, and the regu-
larity Of steam communication enables
him to depend upon their arrival within
a certain time. This renders unneces-
sary the vast accumulations of goods in
the chief commercial cities, with their
warehouses and trains of employees,
which have hitherto entailed such an
enormous expense upon commerce.
Owing to all these changes, and to the
productiveness of labor-saving ma
chinery, hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie have been thrown out Of employ
ment, and general dislocation of bust
ness affairs has occurred. But read
justment of all these matters is now
rapidly going on, and when everything
shall be once more got into good run
ming order the benefits of all these
changes will be felt in every channel of
trade

Esgle Carries or a Pig.

On Monday afternoon last the schol-
ars attending the Fegely school, IN
Pottsgrove township, this county. saw
very large bird alight on a tree about
800 yards from the school-house, on the
Cue property, carrying in its talons a
small sucking pig, which it began to de-
your. The children scampered off in
the direction of the tree, when the bird
went sailing away, leaving behind it the
two hint legs of the young porker.
From the description given of the bird
by the children, it was no doubt an
eagle. e.-Pottstown Pa Ledger.

A New View Of Hard Times.

A singular reason is now given for the
hard times which are pressing so heavily
upon all the civilized countries of the
world. 1t is alleged that they are large
ly caused by labor-saving machinery,
che Pacific railroad, the Suez canal,
ocean steam navigation, and the electric
telegraph.
The London Econonaist-a high au
thority-recently stated, in support of
this move theory, that the tonnage of the
sailing crafts thrown ont of employment
by the opening of the Suez canal reaches
the enormous figure of 1000, 900. That
would be 1000 vessels averaging 1000
tons each. 1t is stated that the time and
expense of transacting East India busi-
ness in Europe has been reduced four
fifths by the Suez canal, steam naviga-
tion and the tele graph. Corresponding
reductions have been made in the time
and expense of transacting the CONNER
cial business of the globe, the Pacific
railroad having done for the new world
what the Suez canal has done for the
old.

THE PACIFIC COAST.
Its Vast Wealth and Resources-Some Big
Figures

f1gures.
The San Francisco Journal of Com
naerce, in its review of the past year,
gives some interesting items of informa-
ton. The population of California re-
ceived during the year an increase by
immigration, ETC., of 80, 900, making the
population of the State 100000, the
population OF its principal city, San
Francisco, being 2S0,000. The import
trade of the State amounted to $50, ,000,-
600, the export trade to $50, 900, 900, and
the manufactures to SGT, 100000. The
tonnage of vessels coming into San
Francisco alone amounted to 726, 800
tons, and the outward-bound tonnage
to 760, ITO. The yield of gold and sill
yer on the whole Pacific coast has been
$1G0, 900, 600 for the year, making since
the memorable year of 1848 the enor-
nous amount of 81, 700, 10000 The
wheat crop for the year 1876 is spoken
of as worth between $30,000,000 and
$40, ,000,0 900, the principal wheat lands
being in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys. The wool crop is esti-
mated at $4,000, 900 pounds, worth So
000, 900, and the wine crop at IL 900, 900
gallons. These several crops are from
the State of California, which is only
portion of the great fertile lands to the
west of the mountains. The exact re-
turns from other States and Territories
are not given, but their capabilities are
shown, and rough estimates made of
their productions when properly culh-
waited. These computations are some
thing too enormous to find ready belief
from those who have learned to consider
the Pacific slope as mainly field for
mining enterprise. For instance, it is
calculated that the area of wine growing
lands on the Pacific coast is 30,000,0 900
acres, which would produce, at low es-
innate of value, SO, 900, COO, 900 worth of
wine, or tw. nty times the amount of the
whole of the VINE crop of France. This,
however, is all in the p ssible future.
The estimate of lumber on that coast,
from Southern California to Alaska
which, by the way, would include large
strip of British territory-is reckoned at
A, 900, 900, ,000,0 900 feet. The present
production of gold is put at $55, 900. 900,
of which California produces 500, ,000,-
600; the production of silver being be
tween $40, 900, 900 and $50, 900, 900. The
Pacific coast at present imports from
250, 900 to $50, 900 tons of coal per an
mum, although there are coal veins in the
neighborhood. In California the yield
oe quicksilver is between 60, 600 and TO-
900 TASKS this year, and the Pacific
coast has supplied the rest of the United
States with from 1000 to 5000 tons of
lead. There are large quantities of cop
per on the coast, but, surrounded by
more alluring wealth, the veins appear
to be left untouched by the inhabitants.
While these enormous fields of wealth
are inviting population, it appears that
immigration during 1876 was 10000
short of what it was in 1875, and that of
the 85, 900 people who arrived in the
State during the year only $4,000 re-
mained.

MAKING EYES.

SO many things girl can make
i cannot fathom why
80 few can turn us out cake,
Or make an apple pie.
Excuses they can make. galore,
Fair bouquets, wreaths, and ties;
But they delight in something more,
And that is making eyes,"
A girl can make man fool
See history for that
Can make dress by fashions rule,
Or trim a dainty hat,
But oft-from gaping crowds apart
I've pondered with surprise
On this her rarest, dearest art,
You know, is making eyes,"
A woman makes the moments fly,
She makes the cash fly, too
For husbands.sa say she makes them buy
Whatever comes in view.
But this 1 know, o modern belle
II is no vain surmise-
The art in which you most excel
Is that of making eyes,"

with a return trip for New Orleans
on a grand Mardi-G ras excelsior,
and all wishing tovisit the Crescent
City will find it to their interest
and pleasure to take passage on her,
the fare for the round trip having
been put down to a low rate. The
Republics accommodations rival
those of the finest hotels, her table
is supplied with the best the mar
ket affords, and a good band Of
music is also on board for those
who pay homage to TerpSichore;
in fact, everything is au fait on this
floating palace. Mr.. George Mil

a sufficient guarantee to the travel

The elegant sidewheel steamer
Belle of Texas, which during her
retirement has been put in thorough
and complete running order, will
resume her regular trips in the
Arkansas river trade, leaving Mem
phis every Tuesday. The Belle has
been repainted and re-out6tted, and
is now one Of the best passenger
packets that plies the raging Ar
kansas. She leaves this evening at
sharp five for Little Rock and all
points on Arkansas river, carrying
the mail aud attending to all way
business. On her return trip she
leaves Pine Bluff on Friday noon
with a grand Mardi-Gra excursion
for Memphis, and will arrive here
Monday morning in time for her
guests to participate in the festivi-
ties. An excellent band will be in
attendance to enliyen the excursion
lists, and no pains will be spared to
make the trip comfortable and
pleasant for all who may chance to
take passage on her. Captain Jas.
Rees, jr., her commander, and who
is recognized as one of the most
popular boatmen on the river, and
noted for his great hospitality and
courtesy toward all with whom he
comes in contact, designs to make
the excursion on the Belle the very
grandest of all. The "iittle cap
tam" says if he don't make money
he will have lots OF fun and, judy
ing from the stores of sweetmeats,
wines, etc, laid in for the trip, he
