The Pressure on the Middle Class.

That the very poor are not the only
class that suffer is evident from informa.
ton CLEANED from secondhand furniture
dealers, jewellers and agents, not called
pawnbrokers, who advance money on ar
tieles and keep them for redemption.
Quite recently q jeweler uear Broome
| street and the Bowery created a good
deal Of a sensation by boldly advertising
wedding presents bought and sold"
" Is that what becomes of them" asked
many a man who had strained a point,
put himself toserious inconvenience, to
buy something handsome in solid silver
te present upon his marriage to the
daughter OF his old friend. And no
doubt this is what verv often becomes of
them. Very few newly married couples
90 to housekeeping nowadays, and the
cake baskets, spoons, sugar tones, soup
ladies', knives and forks and the like. with
which they are loaded, are simply temp
tations to theft and robbery, which the
bride is glad to exchange for such practi-
cal necessities as gloves and shoes. O,
late years. and particularly within the
past twelve months, many families have
given up housekeeping Of quite a differ
ent grade from those which formerly lived
in beardiDg-houses, the real reason being
a desire to live on less money and supply
some present necessity by the sale OF fur
Diture. The shops of dealers in second
hand furniture are filled with goods of
that highly respectable class which is
usually found III pleasant and permanent
homes, and while there is a constant
stream of persons desiring to sell, the
list of those who wish to buy is very
small. Never, so we are told, since the
oldest furniture dealer can remember,
was trade at such a standstill as during
the past year.
The same story substantially is told by
the agents, or private pawnbrokers, who
buy or advance money on ornaments
jewelry, and ever articles of clothing if
they are of sufficient value. Seal-skin
cloaks, furs bought for Christmas pres
ents, sets of china. clocks, bronzes, chris
tening cups and spoons, keepsake watches,
rings, and quantities of the ineffably t u
pid and hideous testimonials" pre-
sented in acknowledgment of something
or other, but usually exhibiting nothing
but the barbaric taste of the donors, are
among the diversified contents OF these
"curiosity" shops which have a pathetic
interest in the stories they tell of con
cealed wretchedness - misery, harder to
bear than honest, outspoken poverty.
Life is not a holiday to people generally,
and there are mt whose pawned jew
els purchased the means for the few
weeks apparent gayety at a summer wa
tering-place which their husbands con
slider necessary for the maintenance of
their credit. Is this a pleasure or a pun
to these poor women? Verify, it
is not always safe to judge by appear

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety concern
ing disease. The mind has power over
the body-for a person to think he has a
disease will often produce that disea.e'
This we see effected when the mind is in
tensely concentrated upon the disease OF
another. We have seen aperson seasick,
in anticipation of a voyage, before reach
ing the vessel. We have known people
to die of cancer in the stomach when they
had no cancer in the stomach or any
other mortal disease. A blind-folded
man, slightly pierced in the arm, has
tainted and died from believing he was
bleeding to death. Therefore persons
should have their minds diverted as much
as possible from themselves. 1t is by
their faith that men are saved, and 1t is
by their faith that they die. Asa man
tbinketh. so is he. If he wills not to die,
he can often live in spite of disease and
if he has little or no attachem ent to life.
he will slip away as easily as a child viii
fall asleep. Men live by their minds al
well as by their bodies. Their bodies
have no lite of themselves; they are onl,
receptacles of Measurements for thel
minds, and the will has much to do IL
continuing the physical occupancy o
giving it up.

Promise and Performance.

The proptietors of Hostetter's stomach
Bitters promise nothing in behalf OF the
famous tonic and regulating elixir which 1t
will not perform. No pretensions lrreconcl-
I,hIa with common sense are made in refer
ence to it, but evidence of the most positive
nature has been accommodating for over a
quarter of atcnturyin its behalf, which proves
il TO be a reliable preventive and curative OF
malarial diseases, an efficient and genial
tonic and general corrective, and specially
valuable in cases where the bowels, liver,
stomach or urinary organs are affected. De-
bility, the source from whence so many bod
ily evils spring, is entirely remedied by the
inyiporative action of the bitters, which ar
rests premature decay and repairs losses OF
nervous and muscular power while improv

Mining Nomenclature.

All the mining lodes are required to
be named and registered. As the miners
have the selection of the m they
vary as greatly in character as the taste
or culture of those who christen them.
The Scotch miners, with a most COM
mendable patriotism, rarely deviate from
some title that will commemorate their
native land. Thus they distinguish
their property as Robert Burns, Scottish
Chiefs, Mary Queen of Scots, Frederick
Dhu. Glen Alpine, &C., and | always feel
agreeable to a Scotchman when | know
that he has thus yielded to a noble and
patriotic impulse. Among II natives
there ALWAYS seems to be a lack of con-
sistency or taste in bestowing titles on
property that may become famous for
immense production. Sometimes there
is a run upon a part OF the title. This
was noticeably so about Lake City on
waves, stars and bellies. Thus there is
the Star of the Evening, the Evening
Star, the Ocean Star (Which | suppose
never comes to land), the Star in the
East. &c; the Belle of the West, Belle of
the East, Lake Belle, Mountain Belle,
Little Belle, &c One of the finest mines
discovered on Henson Creek, last spring,
was named the Ocean Wave, and the
extension of the same lode the Wave OF
the Ocean. | very much doubt if the
men that placed such names will spend
their incomes in a very reasonable
wav. Often the bachelor miner remem-
bers the I" girl he left behind him." and
bestows her %patronymic upon his mine,
hoping that it will prove as good asshe is.
Miners are known by their mines as
much as by their characters, and when
they meet one another the mine is as
punctuallv inquired after as the health
of the individual. You will hear
"Well, how is the Whale turning out p
Oh, the finest quartz" 'And how
does the T~hunderbolt show up 7" Gle
gantly." Have you heard if they are
doing any more on the Eliza Jane?'
/" Yes; Charley Hensen, of the Elephant,
says it is cream solid, and that they have
struck it mighty rich on the Dutch
Girl" &c.-COr. Cincinnati Gazette.

Keeping sheep.

There is more profit, on the average,
in keeping sheep in this country than in
any other country on the globe. With
the exception Of Holland and Belgium,
the annual weight OF flesh in America
exceeds that of any other country. In
those two countries the average weight is
sixty pounds; in America it is tiftystwo
rounds, But owing to the higher price
received here for wool, the annual reve-
nue. from each sheep here is Just double
that in Belgium, and nearly double that
in Holland. The annual revenue here is
s. IL, on the average; Australia is next
highest, $l.5l; Spain next, $l,45. Only
five other countries exceed 81, and in
Russia and Greece the revenue is only
a cents. The average weight, as we'll as
the price, will be largely Increased when
our vast locks OF coarse,wool sheep have
been bred up to the condition they I'M
dou5tedly will be IN a few years from
now,

Oats VS.. Corn for Live stock.

Concerning this subject, DR.. James,
the commissioner OF agriculture, OF Geo.
gia, writes as follows:
Taking into consideration the cost of
production, the chemical analysis and the
comparative freedom from stealage, oats
are cheaper as stock food than corn.
One bushel or fifty-six pounds of corn
costs fifty,eight cents, while mi bushei
or thirty-two pounds of oats costs twenty
nine cents, making a difference OF thirteen
cents in the cost of one hundred pounds
Of the two. Chemical analysis shows
that oats contain twelve per cent. o
a,buminoids, or flesh and muscle produc-
ing principle, while corn contains ten
per cent. IL will thUs be seen that for
work animals, oats are more valuable
than corn as food when equal weights
are used. Consider, now, that n hun
dred pounds of oats costs thirteen cents
less than one hundred pounds of corn,
and the case stands decidedly in favor OF
oats for work stock.
In fat-producing properties, corn ha:
seven per cent. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that when equal weights only are
compared, corr has the advantage as {
~tat-producer. But taking the cost il
consideration, there is no choice in thi'
respect. Another decided advantage o
oats for our climate, and especially fol
summer use, is, that while they supply
more muscle, they are less heating anC
facilitating to the work animal consum
ing them. Still another advantage i
freedom from rotten grain and weevil
which frequently cause corn to iniur'
stock. Still another item in favor OF oat
Is that freedmen DO not eat them, mo-

The southern states send forward some
Of the best fruit we have, and in Virgin

quite an industry add soarce of profit.
Dealers generally throughout the coun-

and serve in their own interest greatly
by observing the following hints of refer

Care should be taken that all
tarcs are correctly marked, and the fruit
to run uniform throughout each and
every package; ship none that is not
well dried put in new or very clean
secondhand barrels do not put more
than the one kind in the same package,
thereby securing tor your shipments a
reputation which will generally insure
quick sales at full market prices; mark

with weight and tare, distinctly, send in

Al dried fruits sell principally by col
or, which should be bright and to
obtain the same in apples and peaches,
they should be prepared toi drying before
fully ripe. Sliced apples, if not bright,
do not pay for the trouble of slicing, and
the finest qualities should be packed in
new barrels, top and bottom lined with
paper. Bright quartered apples, well
cored, uniform in cut, are always more
or less in fair demand, and more atten-
ton should be given to them. Peeled
peaches should be sliced or cut in Fights
and invariably of a bright color. Dark
qualities rule low, and are slow of sale,
Unpeeled peaches should be cut into
halves or quarters. The largest peache:
should be selected for halves, size being 8
consideration in them, while smaller
fruit is fully desirable to cut for quarters
They should be kept entirely separate
as when mixed they will not generally

Cooked; or Raw.

In the last annual report Of the On

mental form, Prot. Bro%n, under whose
direction the agricultural department is
placed, speaking of experiments in pig
feeding, says; "The present practice
with the greater number, in any country,

either by sleeping, steaming Or boiling,
under the belief that cooking in any
shape is better than giving in the raw

a profit at present prices on supplies
made at home. This is readily under
stood, In view Of the fact, that bought
corn and oats cost from two to three
times as much rs homemade; that, as
reported by correspondents, only forty
seven per cent, of a home supply Of pork
is raised in the state, and that while it
costs an average of sixty dollars per head
to raise a mule or horse on the farm,
100000 were expended last season in
their purchase from droves, at an aver
age cost per head of more than twice the
cost of raising them. Notwithstanding
this enormous outlay in horsesand mules,
and the fact that it costs only sixty
dollars to raise them to three year old,
only six thousand and thirty-three are
