The terrible drouth which has for some
time past afflicted almost tho whole Of Aus
ttnlia is at length breaking mp. Sheep and
cattle have suffered severely. and. In many
instances, owners have lost one-hnlf Ut their
flocka and herds. The want Of water Is really
the curse Of Australia; and It seems doubtful
whether this can ever be etrertually reInodiod,
although large expenditure has been incurred
in arrangements FOR the storage of water in
threatened localities. Tho small land own

as they are called have n very hard time Of

The Funny Things We Do.

Have you ever reflected upon the very
many funny things we do, for which we can
give no particular reason? How it is that
we do not give five cheers, four cheers, two
cheers, one cheer? Why is it that we
give three cheers aud no more? Who
can tell2
Why is it that the majority of people
use their right hand in preference to their
left, and cannot help smiling at those who
use the latter?
Why is II that a man cannot see bun
die Of toOthpicks without helping himself
when he does not need them at all?
Why is it that a small boy cannot let
the thin-waisted wasp fly in peace, without
furiously going for il with his new straw
hat; or why is it that the small girl always
insists upon Juggling home kitten that
has not even learned how to open his eyes?
Why is it that when any one asks US
how many days there are 10 a certain
month, We always say over to ourselves:
Thirty days has September.
April, June and November?
Why is it that we turn to the right in :
stead Of the left, when the left is far more
preferable, and if adopted would save many
an accident on railroad and highway
The driver always sits upon the right of
his vehicle; in turning to the right he is
farthest away from the wagon he passes,
and unless he is an expert cannot tell how
close he comes to the wheels of the man
who goes by him, whereas if he turned to
the left side he could look straight down,
see TO the fraction of an inch how close he
was approaching an obstacle, and thus
avoid it. The engineer runs upon the
right hand track, and sits upon the right
hand side of his cab. The long, narrow
locomotive, which with sand tower, belfry
and smoke staS& is in front of him, cutting
off his outlook and empeding his observa-
tion. He can view only his own track,
while the opposite track, save at distance,
is almost wholly unseen by him. (On
some railroads the reverse is the custom.
Custom, owing to cause we know not of,
has established these curious precedents,
and from observation and education we
unwittingly do thousands Of things that
are, to say the least, funny, and that we
cannot possibly explain

How a Woman Tries on New Shoes.

When a woman has a new pair of shoes
sent home she performs altogether differ
ent from man. She never shoves her
toes into them aud pulls and hauls until
she is red in the face and all out of breath
and then goes stamping and kicking
around, but pulls them on part way care
fully, twitches them again to take last
look and see if she has got the right one,
pulls them on again, looks, at them dream
lily, says they are just right, then takes
another lock, stops suddenly to smooth out
wrinkle, twists around aud surveying them
sideways, exclaims, "AIercy how loose they
are" looks at them again square in front,
works her foot around so they won't hurt
her quite so much, takes them of, looks at
the heel, the toe, the bottom and the in
side, puts them on again, walks up and
down the room once or twice, remarks to
her better half that she won't have them
at any price, tilts down the mirror so she
can she how they look, turns in every pos
sible direction and nearly disloeates her
neck trying to see how they look from
that way, backs of, steps up again, takes
thirty or forty farewell looks, says they
make her feet look awful big and never
will do in the world, puts them off and on
three or fonr times more, asks her husband
what he thinks about it and then pays no
attention to what he says, goes through it
all again and finally says she viii take
them. It's very simple matter, indeed.

The Newspaper Business.

We suppose that many people think that
newspaper publishers are persistent duns
let farmer place himself in similar bus
iness position and see if he would not do
the same. Suppose he raised one thou
sand bushels Of wheat, and his neighbor
should come and buy bushel, and the
price was small matter of only two dol
lars or less, the neighbOr says, II will hand
you the amount in few days" As the
farmer did not want to be small about the
matter, says all right, and the man leaves
with the wheat. Another comes In the
same way, until the whole of the one thou
sand bushels of wheat are trusted out to
one thousand different persons, and not
one of the purchasers concerns himself
about it, for it IS a small amount he owes
the farmer, and, of course that would not
help him any. He does not realize that
the farmer has frittered away all his large
crop ef wheat, and that its value is due him
in thousand little dribIets, and that he
Is seriously embarrassed in his business
because his debtors treat it as little mat
ter. But if all would pay promptly, which
they could do as we'll as not, it would be
a very large amount to the farmer, and
enable him to carry on his business with
out difficulty. The above comparison is
too true of the difficulties We newspaper
men have 20 contend with.

A Useful Paste.

A correspondent of the New York Eren-
ing Post, gives the following recipe
for paste for use in making scrap-books:
Il Dissolve piece of alum the size of a
walnut in pint of boiling water; to this /
add couple of tablespoonsfuls of -four,
made smooth in a little cold water, and a
few drops of oil of cloves, letting the
whole come to a boil This paste will
keep months. | put it in glass jars used
for canning, or we'll cleansed blacking bot
ties. l use a half-inch bristle brush,
costs but a few pennies. This paste is
handy too for domestic purposes. My
children have many toys that come in
wooden boxes, but these will break at the
corners, and soon come to pieces. When
box begins to give out, l take piece of
cambric or calico, and with the brush and
paste cover the box so that it viii bear
constant usage for months Then if the
cover gives out, | pull it off and put on
another one. Again, dolls arm or leg
will come of, but piece of muslin and a
bit of paste restores the article, so that it
Is as good as it was before

on the ist Of May, 1876 the ownership and control
Of THE WORLD passed into the hands of the under
signed, under whose absolute And untrammelled
direction THE WORLD has ever since remained and
now remains.
During the whole Of this time THE wORDD has
labored patiently and perseveringy for the accom-
plishment Of two great objects in politics Of para
mount interest t0 the Southern people.
South
wise As TO destroy the political machines under tho
operation Of which il has 10 pass that the peO-
pie are taxed to support political parties, whereas
% lessen the burdens of government
The first of these objects has been triumphantly
accomplished. All intelligent Northern men now
ADMIT tiat all parts OF the country were as deeply
interested as the south in seeing IL corrupt
ana anti-Demooratie government In the South was a
permanent peru 70 the aseendancy OF true American
principles in the Federal Government and therefore
TO the peace and honor OF the whole people.
The second political objection which THE WORLD
contends still remains % be fully achieved. The
actual Administration began its career with excellent
promises In this direction OF which il Is sufficient 10
say that they have been yet only in part redeem
ed THE WORLD for its part will resolutey sup
port any honest eort redeem these promises fully
by whomsoever made, and will as resolutely de
nounce every obstacle thrown I'm the way Of redeem
ing them. from whatever quarter
II seems TO the undersigned eminently proper that
he should ask The cooperation of the best men Of the
South with THE WORLD in its efforts 10 carry out
the policy here outlined. He believes THE WORLD

crats can recommend % Southern readers an in
huence worthy and important to be brought % bear
with constantly increasing power upon the conduct
OF our national Affairs in thnterest OF truth, OF
justice and Of harmony AIMING our people Of all
sections
Il is my desire to keep THE WORLD in a living
relation with the best thought Of the South 10 the
end that the best ideas wishes and feeling Of the
Southern people may be clearly and fairly made
known % the North, the East and the West. Alike
in private and in public affairs the misundersIand-
ing Of men by one another lies at the root Of so much
eyi that the word itself has come % be synonym
with quarre,ing and strife. II was wise saying of
