In lsa6-3g the general government in;cposcd

was 10 revive business. II did set many an honest
man on his feet again, aud enabled many rascal by
secreting his property 10 become rich and others TO

until ot last no credit could be had and trade grew
worse. Congress seeing the ruscaIly made of tho
law repealed 1t Instantly trade revived rascality

DOUBLE DEALING. I'm these fast days
dishonesty is apt to be COMPOUNDED
with business shrewdness. Thus,
many youths start in life with the
idea that ones success depends on
sharpness and chicanery. They i'm
agine if man is always able to ''get
the best of a bargain" 10 matter by
what deceit and meanness he carries
his point, that his prosperity is as
sured. This is great mistake. En-
during prosperity cannot be founded
on cunning and dishonesty. The
tricky and deceitful man is sure to
fall victim, sooner or later, to the
influences which are forever working
against him. His house is built upon
the sand, and its foundation will be
sure to give way. Young people can
not give these truths too much weight.
The future of that young man is safe
who eschews every phase of double
dealing and dishonesty, and. lays the
foundation of has career in the endur-
ing principles of everlasting truth.

about two thousand years old, and
among it the seed of species of
glauclum or poppy was, found, which
had slept in the darkness of the earth

Prosecuting CHRIsTIANs.-Ih The Mo-
hammedan population of Bosnia is be-
coming very much excited by the ad-
dress of Imans Hadjas, and wander
ing dervishes have aroused the fanat-
iral passions of their followers to such
an extent that foreigners state there
is imminent danger of massacre OF
naiahs. Christians assert that they
lave already paid the taxes for the
present year, which are now being col
[hcted the second time. Taxes are as
sessed at 81 piasters per head, besides
the raiahs are taxed 81 piasters on
each male for exemption from militia
ry duty. Governments tenth of the
produce of the country is exacted In
money, and the beys, or landlords,
who receive one,third of the products
of the lands cultivated by peasants,
exact that third in money, knowing
their third will be requisitioned by
the military if taken in kinds. 1t is
reported that the Mahommedans Off
ciaI in Bajaluka cut off the hands of

Of the insurgents. Murders and out

SOLDIERS AFRAID OF MICE.-The COR
respondent of the London Ne,1s writes:
Our company is made up Of Servians,
Russians, Frenchman, Swiss, a
Prussian, an Austrian, and Croat,
so that we are rather polyglot crew.
The thatch of the barrack swarms
with mice, which have festive habit
of dropping down on the slceper's
face, and they have been accused, |
cannot say with what justice, of at
tempting to nestle in boards. The
Russians have perfectly frantic hor-
ror of mice. have seen a veteran
who would not turn his head at an ex-
ploding shell, jump from his bed in
the middle Of the night in paroxysm
of fear, and. drawing his sword, make
frantic cuts and passes. at the spot
where he believed his tormentors were
harboring.. II haze seen another rush
out into, the cold night air because a
mouse ran across his face, and refuse
to re,enter till the break of day. Gen.
Docftouroff, who used to be one of
the inhabitants of our barracks, emf
grated altogether on account Of the
mice, and fitted up for himself rough
tente d abri behind it, into which he
crept nightly without undressing, and
slept there till the wind wrecked his
habitation, when he had to go into
winter quarters in the Chaneellerie.
Mice abound there, too, but he fights
against them by the device of having
his iron bedstead in the middle of the
room, and he does not so much mind
their playing on the floor under him.
