Gold Fish.

Says a New York gold fish dealer
Gold fish are simply Chinese and Japan
ese carp. They were first brought to
this country by sailors twenty years ago
in tanks. Fifteen years ago they had
become wild here, and filled many Long
Island ponds, particularly in the neigh
borhood of Brooklyn and Hampstead.
They had also become popular and more
or less common in Spain, and we're
brought from there more than from
Asia. l bought them on their arrival
from Spain at $5 per hundred, and sold
them at double that amount. They sell
for 81 per hundred now. but in the win
ter when they are scarce, they some
times bring SIT or $18. They are COM
mon here, and can be caught in the
neighboring rivers, but out West they
are scarce and highly priced. We ship
mainly to Buffalo, Quincy, Chicago and
Indianapolis, and send all the way from
1900 a day to 1000 week to these
places, according to the times. Drug
gists and glass and crockery dealers are
the principal dealers.

Sleen.

The most violent passions and excite
ments of mind cannot preserve even
powerful minds from sleep thus Alex
ander the Great slept Son the. field of
Arbela, land Napoleon upon that of Aus
terlitz. Even stripes and torture cannot
keep off sleep, as criminals have been
knows to sleep on the rack. Noises
which at first serve to drive away sleep,
soon become indispensable to its exis-
tence; thus stage-coach stopping to
change horses wakes all the passengers.
The proprietor of an iron forge, who
slept close to tie din of hammers, FORCES
and blast-furnaees, would awake if there
was any interruption to them during the
night; and a sick miller, who had his
mill stopped ON that account, passed
sleepless nights until the mill resumed
its usual noise. Homer, in his Iliad,
elegantly represents sleep as overcom-
ing all men, and even the gods, except
Jupiter alone,

The Springfield Republican says:
The Rev. Mr.. Spaulding was out of the
active ministry in Ohio, near Palmyra,
we believe, running small iron foun-
dry, and, being man of literary tastes,
employed his leisure moments in weav-
ing a romance. 1t was time when the
work of the mound builders was creating
wide interest, the implements of cookery
and war being unearthed, showing the
existence of forgotten race. He en-
titled his production Manuscript
Found" the idea being that the romance
woven by the ex-preacher was dug up
out of one of the mounds in the region.
1t was history of ancient America, not
all written at once, but as leisure spells
and the fancy fell to him, Mr.. Spauld-
ing would add to it. His writing was
no secret in the neighborhood. Mr..
Spaulding was prevailed upon to read
his production to his neighbors as it
progressed. 1t was written in Bible
phraseology, and made as quaint as pos
sible. Among the attentive listeners at
these readings were Joe Smith and Sid
ney Rigdon, the same who founded Nor
monism. Not only did Smith hear the
manuscript read, but ON one occasion he
borrowed ii for week or SO, giving as
a reason that he wanted to read it to his
family, who had been unable to attend
on Mr.. Spaulding's readings. Not long
afterward, it will be remembered, Smith
claimed that an angel had revealed tc
him the existence of buried history Of
aboriginal America, the plates of which
it is alleged, were dug up, and the bool
of Mormon made as translation Of
their inscriptions. The widow of Mr.
Spaulding and her daughter, Mrs. DIR
McKinstry, of Monson, compared thu
Smith Bible with the parsons romance
and they were essentially the same
The similarity was so overwhelming al
to leave no doubt that Smith copied il
full the Rev. Mr.. Spaulding's writing
and made out of it bodily his divin,
revelation. ..-H. ..s M.f

The Consequences + a Russian Defeat.

Suppose Russia, fter series of en-
gagements in whic, her army became |
demoralized and he. good officers were
used up, were compiled to retire beyond |
the Pruth, and NIKE peace upon the |
basis of the StatW quo, what would !
then be the coIlition of Eastern
Europe? The TUX would be unfet-
tered master there, rs he was three hun
bred years ago. He wo1ld have de-
Tended himself without western aid
against the only power which he regards
as great, and wouldlave defended him
self in his own wy, by calling out
hordes of brave bag5arians from Asia,
by giving the rein 70 their savage i'm
pulses, and by slaghtering down all
who opposed, wheher soldiers or his
own subjects, Wheeler Russians or in
surgent Rayahs. lie would have owed
nothing except to his own courage and
his own Notwithstanding, that
is, that he would see; for the Turk
credits himself wifi all that the rene
gades he buys can d for him, and forgets
all aid he may receie from his Christian
servants.
He would have earned that terror,
unhesitatingly applied, N. still, in spite
of civilization, the most effective force
in the world; that tie disregard of the
letters placed on waifare by opinion-in

ter out opposition, it is safe from re-
sistance, except by IN invasion which, if
it is big enough, it ON repulse. Natu-

his system perfect fp its ends, and would
give it full scope andswing. The Chris
tians who have givensuch trouble would
be killed down until they gave no more.

uChinese SMILES"

Some of the ordinary expressions of
the Chinese are rontedly sarcastic
enough. A clustering, harmless fellow
they call "paper tiger" When man
values himself overmuch, they compare
him to ga rat falling INTO a scale and
weighing ITSELF" OVERRIDING a thing
they call ga hunchback making a bow. "
A spendthrift they compare to ga
rocket which goes off IT once. Those
who expend their charity on remote OBJ
iects, but neglect their family, are said
to hang lantern on pole, which is
seen afar, but gives no light below"
