A DEMONIAC PRoCESSION.-l have re-
turned here from Treb nge. While
here | was sitting conversing with
the English surgeon attached to the
hospital, when he observed:
"Ttere is not much to be seen in
this place, but fortunately, to-day |
am able to show you sight you new
er see in England
We started tor the Bazarr, short
distance off. At the end of the prln-
cipal street we encountered a process
sion Of some $50 children, none of
them over twelve years of age. The
two in front carried what seemed like
two standards of some sort, ut which,
on nearer approach, turned out to
be two human heads, stuck on poles
about yard and a half long. One
was the head of a man in the prime
Of life, apparently about thirty-three
years of age, with black mustache
and a beard of some weeks growth
His head was shaved after the man
ner Of the Bosniacks, with the excep-
ton Of long tuft on the crown. The
other was man much older, about
fifty-fve years of age. His face was
thin and clean shaved, his head was
also shaved save the same long tuft
which foated in the wind.
Round the CHASTITY sight the chill
dren danced and yelled like demons
After they had paraded all the streets
they stuck them on a wall opposite
the Pasha's residence and subjected
them to every species of insults, each
boy advancing in turn and splitting on
the heads and then hurting some mud.
They retired uttering holrid blasphe.
mics During this time the street was
thronged with soldiers, and saw
many officers looking on with evil
dent pleasure. On expressing dis
gust to my companion he said:
"That is nothing; such sights are
common in Trebiuge"-[ London

A PERSON, in the course Of some re-
marks in prayer meeting, having
several times observed that he should
never forget the dying words of his
brother, the paster suggested that it
might be we'll for him to repeat them /;
whereupon with some hesitation and
scratching of his head, he said that
they had slipped his memory.

Use Better Than Show

Some time ago a gentleman
went to see a friend who was
very fond of show and fne things,
and who, beside other jewelry, was
in the habit of wearing a ring
containing valuable precious
stones. His friend said to him:
"My good friend, of what good
are those splendid stones in the
ring on your finger?"
''None at all" replied the gen.
tleman.
"Well, then, I'm better off
than you are, for have two pre-.
cious stones which are of use to a
great number of people, and
which gain me more than forty
pounds every year"
The gentleman begged to be
allowed to see those wonderful
stones, and his friend took him to
his mill and showed him the Two
millstones.

In France the National bank
loans its money to the Govern
mcnt at one per cent, and pays
to the Government tax of $3.50
on each 81, 200 of its circnla-
ton. In the United States the
National bank loans their money
TO the Government at 60 per
cent, and pay no taxes. If any
persons doubt this latter propo-
sition let them make the calcu-
lation for themselves. The Ma
tional bank deposits 100000 in
bonds with the Government,
and in return the Government
issues to the bank $4,000 in
National bank notes; deduct
the $4,000 froce the 100000
and the bank hl but $4,000
invested, and vet it draws six
per cent. invested on the whole
100000 deposited, which is
$4,000. That is to say, the
Government has to pay $4,000
to the bank for the use of $lO,-
600, or 60 per cent.

Let thy Country thy Gods
One Cent a Day!

Economy is the order of the
hour, and every expenditure,
however small, is expected to
give q return in full value. Ev-
cry family requires one good,
readable family newspaper. If
such an article can be procured
for less than one cent for each
working day of the year, we
are not aware of it. A Famils,
Newspaper should contain q
carefully-prepared summary of
all the news of the day, both Re
hgious and Secular; and if ar
ranged so that the two depart
ments may be separated and
read by two individuals at the
same time, so much the better.
The Family Neacspaper should
have attractive reading and In
formation for the various men,
bers of a household. Some
portion of the paper should be
devoted, every week, to reli-
lgious and moral improvement,
to current secular news. to ag-
riculture, commerce, markets,
finance, to general literature,
&C., with a special department
for the young. Above all, the
Fomsily Newspaper should be
perfectly pure, and free from
any communicating influences in
its reading matter Or in its ad-
vertisements. Too much atten-
ton cannot be paid to this fea-
ture, when the press is flooding
the country with SO much that
is vile and pernicious. To crown
all, the Family Newspaper
should be untrammelled by any
affiliation with sect or party,
and should be free TO give all
the good news from and about
all the world. IF such a Fam
ily Newspaper can be had for
one cent a dag, it should be ta-
ken by every family in the land.
Such a Family Newspaper,
in every respect, we find in the
New York OBSERVER, now
commencing its fifty-sixth vol
umc. Progressive, comprehen-
sive, sound, reliable, pure, it is
just what is needed in your
household. Send $3.15 for a

YER, 81 Park Row, New York.

Business Activity.

To those who are waiting for
business activity to revive itself,
the Louisville Courier Journal
gives this timely advice, which is
especially applicable to the mer-
chant that dosen't advertise his
wares: Get up and 60 to work.
If things amt lively enough, put
your shoulder to the wheels of
commerce and trade, and aid in
getting the road wagon of old TO-
gyism out of the mire. Hitch the
mule Of energy in the shafts, take
the whip of enterprise in your
hand, and make dust fly along
the road OF progress. Get up, ad-
vertise your business, let people
throughout the country know who
you are and what you have got to
sell, and our word for it, you'll
have something else to do and
think about this fall than to sit
around and cuss and wait for bus
lness to come to you.

49, Our Judges, in deliver

~ Our judges, in deliver
ing their charges to juries, of
ten lay down important moral
as well as legal principles. A
case recently came up in one
of the New York city courts in
which a defendant attempted to
escape the fulfillment Of engage
ments on the ground that the
promises he made were issued
on postal cards merely as adj
vertlsements. He admitted that
they were not true. Chief JUS
tice Curtis, in charging the ju-
ry, laid down these principles:
"As a matter of law, when a
man presents statements for the
public in the form Of q circular
or advertisement he is bound
by those statements. 1t is not
for him 10 say that it is matter
of business-or when business
is dull, a matter of course-to
issue statements which are un-
true. If, in advertising his
goods, wares, or merchandise, he
makes statements for the public
to act upon, when he comes into
a court of justice he is bound by
those statements. The law
knows no difference between
prctepces that are false, except
in the degree of moral or Grim
inal turpitude and in the punish
ment which attaches to them.
The man who seeks by false
statements in regard to his bus
mess through an advertisement,
to elude the public, when he
does it to reap profits for his
own advantage, is taking the
first step OIL that road which ter
inmates with false pretenses,
with forgery, with crime, and
with those acts which imperil
the interest of all of us, and
which tend to destroy the prop
erty and perhaps the reputation
of every citizen. The jury
found for the plaintiff"

BLOWING BUBBLES,

As loitered through the village,
/ saw children at their play,
Blowing bubbles in the sunshine
From a penny pipe of clay;
/ had passed them with a greeting,
But their giadness charmed me so, 4
That turned to watch the bubbles
Sailing through the summers glow.
Though they seemed not half so brilliant
As in boyhood | had blown.
When the smallest of my bubbles
Held rainbow of its own,
Yet my little friends grew merry
As each nted. air blown toy
Floated upward, and the baby
Capped its chubby hands for joy.
And the girl-her arms outstretching,
AS if begging them to stay
Said, "Pm sorry, oh so sorry,
They so quickly fade awayh
But her brother looked right manly
As he shouted with delight,
sit is easy, very easy
To blow others just as br:ght!''
And he blew with such good fortune
That, before his task was done,
You might count score OF bubbles
Floating gaily in the sun.
Then her eyes with pleasure sparkled,
As the crystal phaEtoms played,
And she quite forgot her sorrow
That they each SO quickly fade. .
And she paused where / was resting
In the shadow of yew,
And in tones of laughing wonder cried,
Cant you blow bubbles, too?''
As knew not how to answer,
There left them at their play,
Blowing bubbles in the sunshine,
From penny pipe of clay.

Consumption a Disease OF
Indoor Life.

Dr. Felix L. Oswald says in the
November Popular Science Month
ly:
Among the natives of Senegam
bia pulmonary affections are not
only nearly but absolutely un-
known, yet single year passed
in the over crowded man pens and
steerage-hells of the slave-trader
often sufficed to develop the dis
ease in that most virulent form
known as galloping consumption;
and the brutal planters of the
Spanish Antilles made ruler of
never buying an imported negro
until they had "tested his wind, !"
!. e.. trotted him up hill and
watched his respirations. If he
proved to be "a roarer," as turf
men term it, they knew that the
dungeon had done It's work and
discounted his value accordingly.
"If perfectly sound man is i'm
prisoned for life" says Baron
d'Arblay, the Belgian philanthro-
pist, ''his lungs, as a rule, will first
show symptoms of dis ase and
shorten his misery by hectic de
cline unless he should commit sui !.
eide"
Our home statistics show that
the percentage of deaths by con
sumption in each state bears an
extract proportion TO the greater
or smaller number of inhabitants
who follow in door occupations,
and is highest in the factory dis
tricts of New England aud the
crowded cities of our central states.
In Great Britain the rate increases
with the latitude and attains its
maximum height in Glasgow,
where, as Sir Charles Brodie re
marks, windows ara opened only
one day for every two in Birm-
ingham, and every three and a half
in London; but going farther north
the percentage suddenly sIuks
from twenty three to eleven, and
even to six, if We cross the fifty.
seventh parallel, which marks the
boundary between the manufac
turing counties of central Scot
land and the pastoral regions Of
the north.
1t IS distressingly probable,
then, TO say the least, that con
sumption, that most fearful
scourge of the human race, is
not ''ml sterious dispensation Of
providence nor a product Of
outrageous climate tut the di
rect consequence of an outrageous
violation OF the laws OF God.
