less than fifty received the money, the others

The Literary Career.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says that
young persons who feel the literary i'm
pulse, as nearly all intelligent young
people do in greater or less degree, at
one time or another, will find it profit
able, if they think of embarking upon
a literary career, to read certain con-
LESSONS that have appeared in the At
lantic Monthly for August and Septem-
Der. The first confessor, who SEEM to
be a writer of some skill, shows that he
earned only about 5000 by persistent
literary work continued during ten
years. The second confessor, in the
September Atlantic, tells a dismal tale
of hard and exhaustive work without
adequate compensation, and he gives
the following IS the conclusion to which
his experience has forced him: II am
satisfied that story or novel writing
alone leads to starvation unless you are
illustrious. A literary man must have
the weekly wages which comes from
drudgery. This is the n~ecessaire; story
writing is the superfue." There can be
no doubt at all that this is sound doc
trine. Any one who is .conversant with
the facts of the matter, from observa-
ton or experience, must confess that
the man who attempts to support him
self with his pen, depending upon find
ing a market for his wares after they
have been produced, is inevitably
doomed to a life of extreme poverty un-
less he has great genius. If be seeks
admission to the magazines, he will
probably be surprised to find, even If
his writings have great excellence and
popularity, that bis largest possible
earnings are very small.

One Day of Yellow Fever.

MEMPHIS, TENN, September 1.-The
ravages of the pestilence become more fear
full with each hour. The Towards report
seventy-eight deaths of patients nursed by
them since Saturday evening.
Four persons were found dead to-day
one in the rear Of the Fares residence, his

NEWS SUMMARY.
MaahInRfan.

The Treasury Department has issued a
new circular, intended to encourage the
circulation Of standard silver dollars,
which can now be issued in multiples OF
one thousand, not exceeding ten thousand,
as provided by law.
Secretary Sherman has addressed q long
and interesting letter to o. H. Booth, OF
Mansfield, concerning the issue of the trade
dollar, and the present depreciation in its
value. Upon the latter point Secretary
Sherman says: At no time and on no &C.
count have they ever been received or paid
out by the Treasury, and it is a cause
Of regret that so many of our
people should have accepted them
at their face value, thus enabling
their owners to put them into circulation
at a considerable profit. Under date of
lished tables from which the value of coins
can be ascertained. He does not advise
any one to dispose of them at such rates.
As early as August "a, 1876, the depart
ment informed an inquirer that the
trade dollar had only a bullion value,
and this information has been repeated
scores of times, and published by the
press throughout the country. To
avoid the labor of preparing manuscriptlet
tiers, the Director of the Mint has embodied
information in a circular, adding there'o
tables for computation of such value. There
was no new decision involved in the circular,
though possibly its publication may have
haatened the denreciation of enins tn thei,
true value, an event which was inevitable
and could not have been much Longer
delayed.

Dispatches from Omaha state that the
Grand Central Hotel, the finest west of the
Mississippi River, outside of San Francisco,
caught fire mysteriously in the fifth story
on the night of the 9TH, and after burning
over six hours, was completely destroyed.
The building was a fve-story brick, one

night, when the fire had burned five hours,
a division wall fell on a squad of fremen
who were in the corridor of the hotel, bury

names are John A. Lee, Louis Wilson,
Alonzo Randall, and Billy McNamara. A
~cornice fell ON a man named Lock6eld and
fractured his skull. Efforts to clear away
the debris and rescue the men were u~navail-

next day was not extinguished. The re.

Making Geraniums Flower in Win
ter.-A correspondent of the Toronto
Globe writes: There is perhaps no plant
better suited for prolonged towering
during the winter months than the
geranium, if handled in the following
manner: Procure young plants of the
varieties you wish, about the middle of
May. Put them in four-inch pots, this
being the best to keep them in for the
next four months. Use we'll decayed
sod, add in about one-third COW manure.
Mix thoroughly together, but do not
make too fine, as the geranium delights
in rather a rough compost. Place about
four inches Of ashes under the pots
Keep them on the dry side, Is you do
not want to encourage growth. Should
any flowers appear pinch them off, also
the leading shoots to keep them in shape.
Toward the end of September re-pot
them in six-inch pots, hat is six inches
in diameter, in the compost recon-
mended above. They will now COM
mence to grow freely. About the tenth
Of October put them in their winter
quarters, selecting the window where
they will get the most sun and light.
Plants treated in this manner will
flower the whole winter.

TOPICS FOR THE FARM.

Attractive HOmes.-Josiah Hooper
closes his admirable address on "fhe
AdorDment of Our Homes" before the
Pennsylvania Board of Agriculture
with the following sentences:
The happiest hours of my life have
been spent upon the farm, and I may
also add that no feature connected
with the pursuit was more ENJOYABLE
than the study of the plants that grow
on every side whilst pursuing my daily
avocation.
When a boy, the occasional holidays
passed in the woods among the trees
were indeed "red-letter" days to me,
and although many years since then,
the remembrance is as fresh to my
mind as if but yesterday. l make these
remarks, albeit they may SAVIOR of ego

of our State who intend making agri-
| culture the business of their lives.
desire that they may devote a por-
ton of their leisure moments to the
study Of nature, instead of wasting so
much valuable time in the frivolous
amusements now so popular with a Ger.
tain class of young men in our rural
districts. They little know what an in.
teresting field of research lies open be
fore them, the investigation of which
would prove to be a valuable aid il

manners among the ants in his usual
vein at the recent meeting of the British
Association. The Echo, in its recent
synopsis of his speech, represents him as
the owner and proprietor of thirty
species, which are kept in confinement.
Some of these specimens he has been
watching for four years: and as they were
bred in the previous year they are now
five years old. They resemble human
beingSin many social aspects. They were,
for example, slave-making ants, which
in one case at least, were entirely de-
pendent on their slaves, and would
perish even in the midst of plenty if left
to themselves. He had kept some of
these ants, however, alive for months by
| giving them a slave. for an hour a day
to clean and feed them. He found in
the different species various condi-
tions of life ~curiously answering
to the earlier stages of human progress.
Some species lived principally on the
produce of the chase, and they probably
retained the habits once common to all
ants. They resemble the lower race of
men, who subsist mainly by hunting.
They hunted singly, and their battles
were single combats, like those of man
in his early history. Another species
might be compared to the pastoral stage
of human progress, to the race that live
on the produce of their focks and herds
Their communities were more numer
GUS, they acted more in concert, their
battles were no more single combats
but they knew how to act in combina'
ton. Sir Johns opinion was that they
would gradually exterminate the hunt
ing species just as savages disappeared
before more advanced races.
