Young Women and Old Men.

OF course "Jennie June" knows
everything. Why young women
marry old men, she tells the follow
ing:
Jennie June says that money is
not so often the reason why young
women marry elderly men as people
imagine. She says the young man
of to-day is not the desirable hus-
band that the young man of fifty
years ago was; he is not so thought
full, sober, pains-taking, and consci-
entious; he lives at a club, has no
more love for home life, nor desire to
build up a character and reputation
as q man and citizen; his ideas of
life are bounded by the theater, and
the doings of his little set; and in
many cases his ambition is to own n
racer and be on intimate terms with
ballet. Naturally mothers shrink
from entrusting their daughters to
such youths as these, even if they
have an opportunity, and are better
pleased to bestow them on older men
men who have sown their wild
oats; who know how little of real
value there is in the temporary ex-
element of pleasure; who have, per.
haps, been marrid once, and have
learned the value of home and the
guarantees it affords for permanent
happiness.

The preacher was one of those who
believed he ought not to select a sub
ject beforehand; but when he rose to
speak and opened the Bible the first
verse that met his eye must be used.
That happened to be "The voice of
the turtle shall be heard in the land"
He thought he was stumped. At
length he said: "Brcthering, at first
sight one would not think there was
much in this tex; but on a little
consideration you will see there is a
great deal in it, Now, you all know
what a turtle is. If you have been
along by a pond, you have seen them
on log summing themselves, Now
it is said, The voice of the turtle
shall be heard in the land But
the turtle hasn't any voice, that any
body ever heard; so it must be the
noise he makes in plunging off the
log into the water. Hence, we con-
clude that immersion is meant, and
that immersion will become univer-

houses and factories, and was more than
surprised ut my examination. Roast meats
are now canned canned and sold for use an
board ship in place Of salt provisions:
HOLSTERS were formerly caught off this
shore, but they became scarce here and
went to Maine, and since then they have
gone to Nova Scotia and still later to New
ioundland. Some ofour local dealers have
had canning factories In Maine, and have
moved them rs the fish emigrated, and
they arc now located in Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland. Lobster protective laws
have been passed by the Legislatures, but
they came too late, and are even now but
loosely enforced. .s9 aEG st. 4f YEN
Among the novelties now put mp are
baked beans, fish and clam chowder, and
the latest OF all are fish balls. Beans were
| first canned rs an experiment about year
and half ago, and some few have been
sold in England. The fish balls and baked
beans were exhibited at the Paris Exhi-
bition, and great many orders resulted.
There have been rumors among the trade

Baltimore has the trade and turns its ad

consumption OF canned goods is evidently
on the increase, aud dealers contend tina

Interesting to Millers.

It seems that the dispatches sent
from Washington in regard to the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court in the IA
nous Cochrane patent case, in which
the millers of the country are interes-
dollars, gave an incorrect idea of what
the decision really was. It was not
conclusive against the millers, and
does not establish the patent. 1t opens
the doors Of the court and invites each
party to come in and make out their
case. The following is the text Of the
| decision:
Mr.. Justice Bradley delivered the
opinion of the court.
After careful examination of the
evidence adduced on tho motion to va
cate the decree in this case, we see no
ground to believe that the appellants
are chargeable with any collision with
the appellees in reference to the argu-
ment Of the appeal. On the contrary,
the weight of the evidence is that they
repealed any arrangement or PROPOSE
ton which might look to that end.
While we would not hesitate to. set
aside decree collusively obtained, the
proof ought to be very clear to induce
us to do this at the instance of strang-
ers to the suit, although incidentally
affected by the decision Of the ques-
tions involved.
At the same time, as the decision in
this case is made the basis of applica-
cations for injunctions against third
mo rfsac IN m 1r% TO- r
that we should say that in the srgu-
ment of the appeal before us, the case
on the part of the appellees was, as it
seemed to us, very imperfectly pre-
sented and the evidence laid before
us on this motion demonstrates the
fact that the appellees, in consequence
of the conditional arrangement with
the appellants, which they secured be-
fore the argument was had, or fol
some other cause, omitted to prosecute
their defense with that degree of zeal
and efficiency which the Importance OF
i the case would otherwise have de.
manded. The result was, that the
labor Of the court, and it's liability
to overlook points Of weight and i'm.
: portance, were greatly increased. AS
the case was presented to us, we see
no cause for changing our views. But
under the circumstances, we think
: that third parties, who had no oppor.
tunity Of being heard, and whose in.
terests, as opposed to the Cochrane
patents, are very important, should
: not be excluded from having furth-
er hearing upon it whenever future
case may be presented for our consid-
; GRAFTON.

The Benefit Of LAUGHTER.

There is not the remotest corner OF
little inlet Of the minute blood vessels
Of the human body that does not feel
some wavelet from the commissions oc-
casioned by good hearty laughter. The
life principle, or the central man, is
shaken to the innermost depths, send
ing new tides of life and strength to
the surface, thus materially tending to
insure good health to the persons who
indulge therein. The blood moves
more rapidly and conveys a different
impression to all the organs of the
body, as it visits them on that partic-
ular mystic journey when the man is
laughing from what it does at other
times. For this reason every good,
hearty laugh in which a person indul-
ges lengthens his life, conveying, as it
does, new and distinct stimulations to
the vital forces. Doubtless the time
will come when physicians, conceding
more Importance than they now do to
the influence of the mind upon the
vital forces of the body, will make up
their prescriptions more with refer
ence to the mind and less to drugs for
them; and will, in so doing, find the
best and most effective method of pro-
ducing the required effect upon the
patient.

to restraining ball and chain; but the
general influence of the habit is whole
some. An able-bodied person has no
right to live on his fellow men, and if
he will not work voluntarily he should
be compelled to do so. Every State in
the Union ought to empower its town
officers to arrest all beggars and put
them at work for the benefit Of the
community. All the roads in the
country might be kept in fine condition
by the enforced labor Of the tramps,
who now use them to so little purpose.
The world owes no man a living. 1t
does not owe him even coffin, though
it may provide him with one for sweet
charity's sake. Baltimore is holding
meetings to decide what Maryland
ought to do with her tramps. It ought
to arrest them and set them to work.
This country offers labor to all who
will do it, and the Industrious and fru-
gal ought to be relieved Of the support
of loafers who follow mendicancy as

Mysteries Of tbs Dead Letter Office

Mysteries Of ths Dead Letter Office
It will be perhaps recollected that
two years or more ago an account was
published in the New York Graphic
Of large number of letters, each con.
tanning SIS, addressed to Maria ri. Rus
sell, sent to the Dead-Letter Office un.
claimed from New York. These let.
ters were never applied for by the per.
son addressed, but the publication Of
the facts led to several applications
from persons who were unable to iden.
tify them, and to whom, Of course
they were not delivered. Their con.
tents were finally, under the law, de-
posted in the the United States Treas
ury to the credit of the Post Office De
partment, and the letters placed on
file in the Dead-Letter office. Upon
the facts being made known to the
public that these letters were unclaim-
ed, the writer discontinued mailing
them, but has never asked for their re-
turn.
A similar case, which has not yet
reached determination, has just been
developed in the Dead-Letter Office.
Since 1874 letters mailed in Boston
from time to time have been addressed
to Catherine Maxwell, of that city,
each containing SIS bank note. The
person addressed not being found, they
have from time to time been forward
ed to the Dead-Letter Office. A
request has very recently been received
at the Dead-Letter Office from the
Postmaster at Boston for the return
of these letters for the purpose of iden-
tifying the claimant who has finally
appeared. They have been according
ly returned, in the hope the claimant
may be able to establish title to them.
The person claiming is an old lady who
has no idea from whom the letters
came, beyond supposition that it is a
case of restitution from man who
robbed her son some years ago, and is
taking this means of paying back to
the mother, the son having since died.
