miserable and marriage impOssible-iS the pen

Young persons too apt to commit eXceSses
from not being aware of the dreadful cOnse-

power of prOcreation is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits than by the pru-

The Council of the town of Hillsboro'
has passed an ordinance requiring drink
ing houses, saloons and billiard rooms in
that town to be closed from O'Clock p. m.
until o'clock the next morning, and on
Saturday, from 9 O'Clock p. m. until
O'Clock the next Monday morning. The
penalty for violating this ordinance is not
less than $40 nor more than $50 for each
offense. We have the same ordinance in
force here, and, under the new manage
ment of our municipal affairs, the ordi-
nance is being pretty faithfully executed.
The ordinance has more opponents among
the liquor sellers and gambling-house
keepers than It has among those who are
in the habit of patronizing these houses.
It works well. We hope that our neigh
bors of Hillsboro will be able to faithful
ly enforce the provisions of their new
ordinance. HillsbOro has an ordinance
against selling cigars and tobacco on the
Sabbath.

BEFORE you complain too much, and
denOunce the Administration for being
the cause of your want of financial sue
cess in business, would it not be well to
take retrospective view of your busi-
ness transactions for the past ten years
and see whether it may not be possible
that you have made great, if not fatal mis-
takes in your business theories; wheth-
er you have not adopted theories and un-
dertaken to put them into practice in
your business transactions that were, il.
fact, impracticabIe, and that it is not the
policy of the Government so much as
yourself that is the real cause of your
financial disappointment and final en-
barrassment. 1t is an easy matter to cry
hard times and throw the responsibility on
the Government; but, when our own mis-
management, or, perhaps, our own lack OF
business knowledge and skill, brings bus
iness misfortunes upon US, is it wrong
or right to charge all our lack of success,
and financial destruction, upon the Gov
ernment?

School and Church.

The new Diocese of Quincy is now
fully equipped with Bishop, the Rev.
Alexander Burgess, of Springfield,
Mass, who was elected last February,
having been consecrated on the 10th.
"A building has been purchased in
Rome, Italy, for the Third Baptist
Church in that city, and is to be held by
the Southern Baptist Board of Foreign
Missions. The position is regarded as
one of the very best yet secured for
Protestant use.
1t appears from the report made to
the International Sunday-school Con-
vention at Atlanta, that there are &c, $50
Sunday-schOols in the United States,
with 6,423,2 S5 scholars. New York
stands at the head of the list of States,
with 903,3 scholars; Pennsylvania is
next, with 782, OPS; and Ohio is third,
with 621, 702.
The Home Missionary Society has
employed 996 ministers during the past
year. Three missionaries have labored
among the colored people, and 80 have
preached in foreign languages. There
have been 2,237 congregations and mis-
sion stations supplied, and 9,762 pupils
in the Sunday-schools. The receipts
have been 1884, 4S6, and the expendi-
lures 1924, $40. There is S15,300 still
due to missionaries, and S91, 1885 pledged.
AT the annual meeting of the Amer
lean Bible Society it was stated that the
society had turned out about 2,009
copies per day for every working day IN
the 60 years of its existence The book
has been translated into 80 different
languages. Last year there were over
$500 Bible distributions in the country.
The receipts were nearly 10000 copies
of the Bible printed at the Bible house
and abroad. At the same time nearly
100000 copies were issued at home,
and abroad, 857 900; II, 1856 copies for

The total issue of the Bible Society in
62 years was "a, 1864, 1915 copies. During

Luxuries Of Life.

Compilers of statistics sometimes
come into possession of singular facts,
which not unfrequently indicate the pc
culiar tastes or habits of the people.
For instance, il is ascertained that the
amount of teas, coffees, and sugars con-
sumed by the people afford a fair cri-
terion to Judge of the financial condi-
ton of the country. These articles are
not necessaries Of life, but Injuries, and
it is fair to presume that people wean
themselves from such luxuries, in some
degree at least, when times are so press
ing that necessaries are difficult to OBJ
tain. Statistics show that during the
year 1874 the importation of teas and
coffees fell off and continued to decrease
up to few months since. A compare
tive statement for the eight months end
ing with February last exhibits the fact
that the purchase of teas was increased
100000 pounds over the import
during an equal period of time in 1877.
The value of this increased purchase is
Sl2, 002, 126, against S11, 175 500 in the
former year. The item of coffees shows
$35, 554, 676, against s29, 341, 772 in 1877.
Sugars are reported at 73S,000,0O0
pounds of imports, valued at S37, S1,-
1913; an increase of 25,400,000 pounds.
These figures manifest a return to the
free use of simpler luxuries-a good sign.

THE WAR TROUBLES.

A Constantinople dispatch of the 14th
says: Thirty-two battalions of Russian
reinforcements have arrived at San Ste
fano. The arrangement concerning the for
tresses has failed in consequence of the st.
Petersburg Government disappearing Of
General Todleben's projected retreat to
Adrianople.
st. Petersburg dispatches of the 18th con-
vey the impression that a less warlike feel
ing exists there as the result of Count
Shouvaloff's mission, and that Russia is pre-
pared TO modify to a certain extent the pro-
visions of the San Stefano treaty.
A London dispatch of the 18th says: The
week, prolific of rumor, closes in uncertain
ty, but with sanguine hopes of peace in well
informed circles. In others, however, equal
ly well advised the pacific reports Of the last
two days are regarded with grave suspi-
cion. They are held to be wholly irrecon-
cilable with the positive action of General
Todleben in his extremely peremptory de-
mands upon the Porte, his steady ad-
yanees Of his troops towards Constantinople
and his evident preparations for an assault
upon and seizure of the city. 1t was re-
marked in parliamentary circles to-day that
it was impossible to fully credit the Russian
reports, and that these pacific rumors were
probably put forth with the intention of de-
ceiying. However, they are generally cred
tied.
1t was reported on the 10Th that the two
years. term Of the occupation of Bulgaria
by Russia may be shortened, and Euro
pean commission, instead of Russian oc-
cupancy, might take place. Uneasiness was
felt in Berlin about the prospect of an I'M
derstanding between England and Russia
looking toward peace. Count Shouval-
off, on his way to London, stopped at
Berlin, seemingly having failed to accomplish
his first mission. On the other hand, ad-
vices from Constantinople indicate a strong
hope that peace will be speedily restored.
Russian official papers reiterate the state
ment that movements of the army before
COnstantinople are not hostile or menacing.

German Wives.

The culinary art forms 3 part of the
education of the women in Germany.
The well-tO-do tradesman, like the me-
chanic, takes pride in seeing his daugh-
tiers good housekeepers. To effect this
object the girl, on leaving school, which
she does when about fourteen years OF
age, goes through the ceremony of con-
firmation, and then is placed by her
parents with country gentleman, or
in large family, where she remains
one or two years, filling what may also
be termed the post of servant, or doing
the work of one. This is looked upon
as an apprenticeship in domestic econ
omy. She differs from servant, how
ever, in this--she receives no wages !;
on the contrary, her parents often pay
for the care taken of her as well as her
clothing. This is the first step in her
education as housekeeper.a She next
passes, on the same conditions, into the
kitchen of a rich private family, or into
that of hotel of good repute. Here
she has control of the expenditures of
the servants employed in it, and assists
personally in the cooking, but is always
addressed as Miss, and is treated by the
family with Difference and consideration.
Many daughters of rich families receive
similar training, with this difference,
however, that they receive it in a prince
ly mansion or royal palace. There is
a reigning queen in Germany at the
present time who was educated in this
way. Consequently the women in Ger
many are perfect models of economy
