The LOWER ANIdALs.-It is pretty
well known that that the lower animals
possess all the weakness, vanities and
vices known to man. Indeed, they have
the passion for dress even more develop-
ed-sometimeS to the cost of their lives
than our fine ladies have The cock
Is VIGOROUSLY ambitious and tyranical !:
the hog as he grows old becomes a mere
lout and sensualist, though the promise
Of his youth was of better things; the
jackdaw and monkey are full of mis-
chief; the beauteous dove is quarrelsome,
and even the penguin which sits on
rocks In the Southern Pacific arrayed in
a white apron and pretending to be as
neat as pin, is foul beyond conception.
That they have taste for alchoholic
liquors is known as fact by scientists.
One of these selected for his subjects the
quiet household of q cock which had
never done him any harm and in which
there was no hereditary tendency toward
the bottle To the master of the house
hold the temptef came at first with ale
and light wines, and gradually led him
on, step by step, till at last nothing
would satisfy his aroused appetifes but
the strongest of liquors. The hens, too.
took kindly to their rotations, though
not so eagerly as the cock did, and ere
long that once happy home was a scene
of woe, disorder and iFregularity. The
comb and wattles of the father swelled
and grew purple like a tippler's nose /;
his eyes became blear and bloodshct !:
his whole being was changed; he quar-
relied with his wives and beat them
over the head with his spurs, and in
their turn the wives grew reckless, cross
and dumpish, and neglected their broods.
The old gentleman would 90 to roosf at
odd hours of day and night, and present
~ fall from his perch. He would crow
In the most absurd and unreasonable
way; get his legs tangled together, flap
one wing when he meant to flap both
refused his meals, and at last he fell s
victim to the demon of rum by diving.
Tt was q sad ending, but il satisfied the
demon of science that men are not alone
in their love for iDtoxicants.

DEPTH OF RooTs.-Mr. Foote, in Mas
sachusetts, has traced out the tap root of
common red clover plant downward to
the perpendicular depth of nearly five
feet. Hon. J. Stanton Gould followed
out the roots of Indian corn to the depth
of seven feet, and states that onions
sometimes extend their roots downward
to the depth of three feet; lucern, fif-
teen feet. Hon. George Geddes sent to
the museum of the New York State So
ciety, clover plant that had root four
feet two inches in length. Louis Walk
off traced the roots of beet plant down
ward four feet where they entered a
drainpipe. Prof. Schubert found the
roots ofrye, beans and garden peas to ex-
tend about four feet downward; of win
ter wheat, seven feet in light subsoil, for
ty-seven days after planting The roots
of clover one year old were three and a
half feet long; those of two year old
plants four inches long.-Factory and

The Old Grist Mil.

BY Willow Brook, beneath the hill,
Stands quaint and gray the old grist mill.
Spring MOSES on It's steep roof grow,
Where broad their shade the willows throw;
The pond near by Is clear and deep,
And round its brink the alders sweep;
The lily pads spread gay and green,
The lilies white and gold between,
While grinds the mill with rumbiing sound
The water wheel turns round and round.
Among the reeds the muskrat dives.
And swift 1.-THE swallow homeward 1ies,"
The robin sits In cedars near
Where willow Brook runs swift and clear;
The children by the school house play
Where slumberous shadows softly stray,
And warm and low the summer breeze
Is whispering thro' the willow leaves;
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound,
The water-wheelturns round and round.
The crows now wing their southern way
The squirrels in the nut trees play;
With merry shouts the school-boys run,
The mountains blush meath autumn's sun.
Their grain they bring adoWn the hill,
The farmers, TO the old grist mill;
And faint from far o'er hill and dale
Falls on the ear the thresher's fiail;
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound,
The water-whecl turns round and round
Long years have come and passed away;
Inc mill with age Is gaunL and gray;
The roof gaps wide to rain and sun;
With cobwebs thick the walls are hung;
The pond Is oyergrown with weeds;
The marsh wren builds among the reeds;
The night winds thFoug h the willows moan;
The schoOl-house gone, the children grown:
The farmers sleep where wild flowers grow,
w no brought their grain SO long ago,
when ground the mill with rnmbling sound,
And the water-w wheel turned round and round.

BUSINESS ITEMS.

The public debt of Great Britain, as
per the last official statement, is es11,-
167, 1854.
All the white lead works in the city of
Pittsburgh-eight of them-are in full
operation.
The revenue of the German Empire
for the last year fell short of its estimate
by over $5,OOO,OOO.
A japanese paper states that Japan
has already 80 banks, and that g. others
are being established, while other finance
companies are applicants for official
license.
A recent calculation says that the de-
mand for lumber increases in the United
States at the rate of % per cent. per an
mum. The forests decrease at the rate
of 100000 acres year. fhe fences
alone are valued at 81 800, OO0, 900 and
they cost each year $9s,OOO,OO
The buffalo plains and the middle
portion of the continent, together with
the Pacific states, are rapidly taking the
place of Texas as the great feeding
grounds, and are leading in the produc-
ton of beef. The estimated returns for
this year give Colorado $4,000 head !;
Wyoming, $4,000; Utah, $50, 1000; Wash
ington, 1900; Montana, 100000; Oregon
175,OOO, and California, 65O,OOO.
The Danish Government publishes
some interesting statistics presented to
the Paris exhibition The area of the
country is 100000 acres, of which
100000 is under cultivation, the re-
mainder being pasture, forest, lakes,
rivers, boys and sandy wastes. The land
is owned by 100000 individuals who
own 1,153,O00 head of cattle, 1,719.OOO
sheep, 100000 swine and S22 900 horses.
The public debt of Europe was divid-
ed as follows in 1876: France, 81, 627.-
921 400; Prussia, 1925, S52, 1916; italy.
$4,000, 100000; Russia, $1,254, $40 600 !:
Spain, $2,65O, OOO, 900; Turkey, 1927 600
600; Great Britain, $s,8s4, s52, 72O. These
are the heaviest debts, and they bear
hardest on Turkey, Italy, Russia and
Spain. While some of the debts NAV
have slightly decreased in the last two
years, others have greatly increased, as
in the cases of Russia and Turkey.
A very common error among business
men of limited experience, is that of
economizing in the matter of advertis-
ing whenever ''times are dull" profits
small and prospects not over promising.
This is the rock on which many bust
ness men are shattered. But the more
experienced and successful merchant re-
Allies the fact that when trade is dull, it
is the more necessary to keep his name
and his wares prominently before the
public, in order the more sureley to effect
the sale of his merchandise. When trade
is active, buyers are plenty and quite
apt to ask for what they want, but when
the wheels of commerce revolve SLOWLY.
and business is sluggish, it oftentimes
becomes necessary for merchandise to
seek for buyers.

oPOSAdA " INT tuGcr-OC6au-
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-Secretary
Schur3 is to speak in Cincinnati on Fri
day evening next, and may make some
other speeches in the West. Secretary
Sherman, Secretary McCrary, and Sec
rotary Thompson, as well as the Presi-
dent himself, have made strong Repub-
llcan speeches this campaign, and Sec
rotary Evarts will be heard in New
York week or so before election, and
Attorney General Devens is expecting to
enter the campaign in Massachusetts.
Vice President Wheeler intends to make
at least two addresses in New York
State before the election. His speech at
the Syracuse fair the other day is re-
garded as a political one. This leaves
only Postmaster General Key, who has
not, and viii not formally enter the cam
pa1gn as stump orator Mr. Kew gave
his money to the Republican campaign
fund, but he cannot very well speak
against his party, lest he should entirely
lose his alleged influence therein. As
slstant Secretary Haw]ey, Register Scho-
Held, Commissioner johnson, and other
prominent bureau officers of the Treasu-
~ are already on the stump, and CON-
missioner Raum is going to Illinois next
week to work for his party until the
election is over. The campaign sub
ScIlPIIonS 10 Ine republican 1unQ have
been larger this year than is usual in off
years from the departments. The treas
ury statisticians have been busy for
weeks furnishing information for cam
paign documents, and official postage
stamps have been used to send thousands
of reports and other publications through
the mails to show the people of the coun-
try what has been done by the Republi-
can party during the last seventeen
years for the public good. Thousands
OF sheets of statistics have been printed
on the treasury presses, all intended to
emphasize the arguments that the Re
publican party is best fitted to govern
the country, and, under Secretary Sher
mans personal directions, information
has been furnished to every Republican
campaig speaker or writer who has ask
ed for it. 1t may be that these extern
sIve publications were not intended for
Republican campaign documents, but
it is certainly the fact that Democrats
have not encouraged their circulation,
while Republican committees through
out the country have called for thou
sands of them. They are quoted from
every Republican speaker, and Republi-
can newspapers are full of them. There
should be no complaint that the present
administration is not serving its party.

The SMOKE NUISANCE. = What is
smoke? It is made up of minute particles
OF unburnt carbon; it is fuel thrown
away. The torrents of black vapor from
our chimneys and smoke-pipes contain
thousands of tons of coal lost because we
have not learned how to save it. The
time will come when this will be reck-
oned as foolish as we should now con-
slider it to shovel coal into the sea. as we
used to dispose of the refuse from gas
works, which has become the source of
many useful and valuable products. The
chemical lecturer of the next century
will tell his audience how long it was
before the world learned to burn fuel
without blowing good part of it into
the air. He will grow facetious as he
describes the appearance of great cities
perpetually covered with pail of vapor-
Gus blackness. why, in that dark age,''
he will add, their railway engines used
to drag long streamers of dirty smoke
behind them, and one could not ride in
the cars without having his eyes and
nostrils and throat filled with cinders
and dust; and, incredible as it may seem,
this was tolerated for many years, the
Introduction of smokeless locomotives
being one of the last improvements in
troduced into our railway system,~ And
his hearers will say to themselves, aWhat
a terrible ordeal long railway ride
must have been in those bad old times. !"

WITHOUT DRUMMERs.-A Chicago
wholesale grocery house, which a few
years ago carried sixteen drummers at
an expense of $4,000 per annum, and
did an almost profitless business, has
abandoned the drummer system, spends
one fourth their cost annually in news
paper advertising, dividing the balance
among customers. AS a natural result
their trade has increased ten fold, and
the net profits to the house in 1877 were
$4,000. This year they will do still
better. Their customers are better
pleased because they buy on orders from
prices current, from two to twenty per
cent cheaper than they ever could un-
der the drummer system. Competitors
don't like it much, but it is nevertheless
a success; an immense success-Jour-

READING.-"Were to pray for a
TASTE" says Sir John Herschel' (which
should stand me instead under every va
riety of circumstances, and be a source
of happiness to me during life, and a
shield against its ills, however things
might go amiss and the world frown up
on me, it would be a taste for reading.
Give man this taste and the means of
gratifying it and you can hardly fail of
making him happy man, unless, in
deed, you put into his hands most per-
verse selection of books. You place him
in contact with the best society in every
period of history-with the wisest, the
wittiest, the tenderest, the bravest and
the purest characters who have adorned
humanity-you make him denizen of
all nations, contemporary of all ages.
The world has been created for him"

Vice President Wheeler made speech
at the St. Lawrence county On. " fair
last week, in which he said:
1.-THE fact, hard as it is, remains. that
we can can never regain our old-time
prosperity without return to the old
paths. We must have soberer views of
life. We cannot regain this prosperity
until after the stronger portion of our
people become willing, through patience
and manly toll in the useful and pro
ductive arts Of life, to earn every dollar
they receive. Our young men must
learn that they cannot with impunitv.
ignore the lower rounds of the ladders
on which their fathers climbed with pa
tient, toiling steps, and came TO property
and reputation with bound. In man
ly occupation and manly Independence
only can be laid the foundation of hon
oraDle, permanent prosperity"
The Vice President met with a hearty
reception from his old friends, who. in
their rush TO shake hands with him.
broke down the stand. Vice President
men, women, and children went down
in the midst of great uproar, but none
were seriously injured.
