A Tramp Story.
London (Ont.) Advertiser

A story has been told us which seems
to 60 far in confederation Of the late
Boss Tweed's theory of changes.
1t is said that something like year
ago a tramp called at the house Of Mr..
Baily, in Mosa township, and asked per-
mission to stop all night. A little pur-
suasion led to his request being granted,
and he was also asked to take supper
During the meal Mrs. Bailey called her
little daughter, but the young one paid
no attention. Again calling, the moth
er used the full given name Of the child:
Isabella Stevens, don't you hear me?"
The tramp looked up as if interested,
and remarked musingly: Isabella
Stevens? Isabella Stevens? Have
you got any relations by that name?"
Yes, that was my mothers maiden
name," said the lady.
''There is," said the tramp, IAN i'm
mense fortune in Cornwall, England,
which has been for twen years await
ing claimant of that name who is sup
posed to be in America"
He then proceeded to give all the de-
tails he could, and the result was that
Mrs. Bailey wrote to her mother, who
resided within few miles Of this city.
and the last-named secured the fortune,
and is now enjoying the fruits Of her
daughters hospitality to the tramp.

Praise Your Wife.

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS
sake give her little encouragement; it
won't hurt her. She made your home
comfortable, your hearth bright and
shining; food agreeable PHYS sake
tell her you thank her, if nothing more.
She don't expect it; it will make her
eyes open wider than they have these
ten years, but it will do her good, and
you too. There are many women to-day
thirsting for words of praise, the Ian
guage of encouragement. Through
summers heat, through winters toll,
they have drudged uncomplainingly ,and
so accustomed have their fathers, broth
ers and husbands become to their mo-
notonous labors that they look for and
upon them as they do the daily rising
of the sun, and it's daily going down.
Home every day may be made beautiful
by an appreciation of its holiness. You
know, if you can take from your drawer
a clean shirt whenever you want it, that
somebody's fingers have ached in the
toll of making it fresh and agreeable, so
smooth and lustrous.

Etiquette In Nevada,
San Francisco News Letter

Gentlemen of leisure who live in Ne
vada will be glad to know the fashions
for 1878: 1t will be gross breach of
politeness to shoot at anybody further
off than six feet, and if he falls at the
first fire it is de rigeur that you should
walk up to the party and put at least
eight more bullets in his carcass in self
defense. This necessltates carrying
two revolvers, but this cannot be helped.
Fashion at times lays heavy burdens on
votaries The knife is no longer used
in polite circles, and the correct thing
to do after the occurrence, is to immed-
lately give yourself up to the police, and
send letter of coincidence to the near
est relatives of the deceased. 1t is not
usual to go to the funeral, unlessit it hap
pens to be your own, in which case it is
in bad taste to either stay away or take
an active part in the proceedings.

SYSTEM INsUREs SUCCESS. - The
successful teacher reduces everything
to system with mathematical accuracy.
He knows that every subject has its
first step, seconded by its evenly grad
uated successive steps, until rounded
off to full completion by it's last step.
He presents these in their regular order,
always gratified in finding the child-in-
tellect capable of grasping and compre-
hending each new step when presented
His daily work is begun, continued, and
finished in systematic manner, previous
ly planned, and revised as often as the
necessities of the position demand

he reached the house Of his friend both

Resigned.

Miss Ella Aborn, for years a teacher
in the third room, west side, resigned
her position last Friday evening, and on
Saturday went to visit her sister in &C.
dar Rapids Her visit there, however,
was quite short, for on Monday evening
she was married to Frank w. Comfort,
with whom she left on the first train for
her new home in Wheaton, III.
Thus it is our teachers leave us,
One one our teachers leave us,
When experience, best of masters,
Has just made one fit to help us,
Made a teacher fit to aid us,
Comes some man whose life is lonely,
Comes merchant or banker,
Comes perchance youthful lawyer,
Promising her aid and Comfort,
Promising home with Comfort.
Quickly then she drops the primer.
Drops the willow rod and primer,
And fOrsaking all her labors,
Leaving all else for a husband
Follows ever where he leads her.
Miss Helen A. Main, one of our High
School graduates of last year, takes
Miss Aborn's place in school for the
two remaining weeks of the term.

A boys first Alphabet.
New-York tribune., 1878-07-08

A sidewalk in the middle Of the street would hard
~ seem to be desirable innovation especially with
the Thermometer its present range and yet there
are some streets which devoted exclusively to
heavy business where sidewalks in their normal
position are of little use to pedestrians, and an
annoyance to traffic. Along several streets which
lead to the river front, on both sides of the
city, there is an absolute necessity for ar
rangements, more less permanent, TO bridge
the chasm between the trucks which are backed
up against the curbsOnes and the doors Of the
houses. At no hour OF the day is it possible for
wayfarers to keep on the walk more than a few
steps together before they are compelled to take a
circuit in front of the teams, or watch for
an opening TO climb over pieces of scant-
ling and dodge between barrels OF bales,
which are rolled, or showed, or pitched
from truck to warehouse or from warehouse to
truck. Suppose the sidewalks were abolished, and
the streets paved flush up to the building line.

OF course there are but few streets where
this plan would prove a benefcent revolution.
But it may occur to some people who have been
stimulated to energetic reflection on this subject

silver ought not to be made appropriate.
Absolutely no use has yet been discovered for
the new silver dollar, except as breakwater
in case of a large demand upon the Treasury
for gold after resumption, and in that respect
the silver is only of use when stored In
Treasury vaults.
According to the Washington dispatches
there has been a decrease of about S42O,oOO
in the national bank circulation since July !,
which does not indicate that the expected ex-
pansion is likely to occur at present. The err
culation of the New-York banks de-
creased $11O,30O during the ,week. Yet
there is an increase of S3,795,oOO
in loans. which, it may be hoped, indicates an
enlarged employment of capital. No doubt,
however, portion of the increase in loans
was due to the greater activity of stock speeu-
lation during the latter part of last week.
There is some reason to believe that the at
tenpted "corner" in wheat at Milwaukee
may have an important influence on receipts
at the chief Western ports during the
next three weeks But increased re-
CENTS, if they occur, will not neces-
sarily indicate increased movement to
consumers, and may presently result In a
breaking of prices. Large movements OF corn
in Illinois and Iowa indicate that holders nave
increased confidence in the success OF the
new crop, and in all respects the out
look as to the suficiency of crops tins
Fall continues favorable. There are as
yet no indications of an unfavorable
change in foreign trade, and the bank clear
ings for the first week in July were S353,-
$50, O,232, against only $345, ,922,956 for the
corresponding week last year, which, in con-
nection with the great decline of prices during
the year, shows a material increase in activity OF
business. The downward tendency of the
premium on gold is an evidence Of general
confidence in the continued favorable condi-
ton of foreign trade and in the ability OF the
Treasury 10 resume specie payments.

Let it not be supposed that the cause OF
Temperance is suffering from the lack of ardor
on the part of certain associations and orators.
One of the speakers at a meeting, yesterday,
the lady who recently caused a small Ameri-
can flag. one of about half thousand, to be
removed from the wall, to make room for an
Inscription in honor of the Queen Of England,
expressed a cheerful willingness, in defending
her share in that important transaction, TO
face a prison and the burning fagot rather
than " fear to face the truth" Need it be
said that this announcement was received
with great cheering, and that the leglOns OF
intemperance were so abashed that nobody so
much as suggested a prison and nobody
dared to produce burning fagOtf But this
was not all. When somebody quoted General
Dixs views upon the imDrOprioty of hauling
down the American flag, this intrepid person
actually defied the ignOble individual who
made the quotation to shoot her. Need it be
said that he didn't? He was ashamed to, OF
course, with the eye of scornful pubhc upon
him. Need 1t be said either that the DreSi-
dent thought this "a noble utterance y All
this discussion was about the American flag
and the personal characteristics Of the speak
ers but it was muscular, and must have
braced mp the cause of temperance all along
the line.

The approach of tie anniversary OF the
Battle of the BOyne threatens this time to
lead to n conflict of authority in Montreal.
At the magistrates meeting on Friday the
Mayor was invested with full powers, and au-
thorized to issue a proclamation, forbidding
any public gatherings on the Twelfth.
He has done So But several magistrates dissent
from the meetings. decision, and have called
on the military authorities to maintain order,
and implicitly to protect the contemplated
Orange procession. In this action the magls-
trates are sustained by high legal authority.
The Orangemen, themselves, have decided to
march, being assured by counsel that they
have a perfect right to do so, the Mayor
having no authority to forbid or prevent
them. Last year, when excitement was at
fever heat, the 0rangemen decided on the
eve of the Twelfth to abandon the celebration,
but this for0earance did not prevent
the disorders next day, when mbble
held the streets and murdered young
Hackett because he carried an orange lily.
That brutal act has left its bitterness behind,
and impelled the 0rangemen TO insist that
their right to parade shall be acknowledged,
at least. Colonel Fletcher, who has called
out $500 men, is master of the situation.
If he resolves firmly and promptly that the
procession shall take place, a salutary respect
for powder and ball will keep the mob i'll
