We Buy Of those that
Advertise.

The London correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer tells the follow
ing story. The moral will be obvi-
GUS to those who have anything to
sell:
In Paris, last summer, I saw a
friend OF mine, who had just come
over, using pen of peculiar construc-
ton, designed with special reference
to those untidy poi~vus who like
myself, ink their fingers when they
write. Now my friend is a man
whose hands are as white as lilies,
with finger nails like rosebuds in tint
noticeable hands, even remarkable,
considering that he is an elderly man,
and who occasionally helps with the
lighter work on his farm in Nebraska.
Catch him mixing his fingers!
"Why, where did you get that nice
pen p I asked him, a vista of blissful
exemption from an uninked middle
finger opening on my joyous, expect
ant mind.
''In OMAHA" he answered. cts
the incest thing. l used to ink my
fingers before I got it!'
He did He linked his fingers !
That was enough for me. I got the
name of the merchant from whom he
bought the pen, the price of it, and in
closing the money, l sent from Paris
to Omaha for the pen.
By the last steamer it came to me.
The stationer at Omaha was out of
them, but he sent to Sioux City to the
man that advertises them for another
lot. And now here is where the laugh
comes in. The pens are an English
invention, and tons of them can be
bought in London if desired. At the
stationer's next door I could have
got what l had sent after to Sioux
City. But how could I know that ?

A WRITER in the Quarterly Joal17a-
al of Science shows that if the lower
animals possess more delicate or pos
sibly more numerous senses, they are
in position to acquire by direct per-
ception what man arrives at only by
the use of instruments and by pro-
cess of the reason. He scouts the
term instinct as phantom, and he
says that probably the instances of
instinct that are not receivable into
hereditary habit may be traced to the
influence of every acute sense. Thus
we are told that certain birds, beasts,
and insects have an instructive fore
knowledge of coming storms and 9th
er meteorological changes that migra-
tory birds leave us when the weather
is still warm and sunny, and the in
sects upon which they feed are still
plentiful that bees contract the inlet
into their hive in proportion to the
degree of cold which is about to pre-
vail, etc. These observations, in so
far as they are really founded on fact,
are merely instances of warnings fur
nished by sensuous perceptions more
acute than our own.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE,
Business at MT. SAVAGE.

Mr.. Editor We visited Mount
Savage last Wednesday and was
shown through the large, newly
fitted rooms of Messrs. Shaffer &
Mum under the Varnum House.
This firm is dealing largely in general
merchandise, and have in their en-
ployment some seven statesmen, all of
whom are clever and competent in
their respective departments. Among
them we noticed Miss Kate Huston,
whose bewitching smiles make the
dollars turn restlessly in the most
misery pocket. Mr.. 7. H. Self ker
holds an important position; his gen.
ial manners and knowledge of bust
make him successful anywhere. Mr..
Hellinger, accountant, is also capable
and accommodating. The proprietors
are chock full of go-aheadativeness,
and it is a slashing concern altogether.
Business generally at Mt. Savage
has been good during the season just
past, the railroad and shops doing
well, and the brickyard in full opera
ton all the time.
We were also informed that the
people of Mt. Savage like to read the
JOURNAL and that some one should
visit the place in it's interest. A
slight effort would largely increase
its circulation. ~

THERE continues a very fair de-
mand for bituminous coal although
shipments have been curtailed by the
scarcity of vessels and the high rates
of freight. The season, however, is
rapidly drawing to close, and al
ready some of the companies show
indications of closing their shipments
by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The Cumberland output bids fair to
show an increase of 100000 tons this
year over 1877, and of this increase
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has
secured so far, 1890 tons. The
Clearfeld region is losing ground,
and is now about $4,000 tons behind
the shipments to same date last year
