WILLIAM II. VANDERBILT who recently,
with uplifted hand, swore that his personal
effects were not worth one dollar, invited
the public, last Friday, to attend his art re-
ception, aud inspect the valuable additions
he made to his collection of pictures during
his recent trip to Europe. The value of this
penniless mans pictures alone, is put down
at 100000. Why are such men not "shot
ON the spot" 1t is such as he who are re-
sponsible for the growth of Communism.

Illinois. From the 100000 cows 356,O0O,-
900 gallons, or 3,062, 100000 pounds of
milk are obtained annually. To move this
milk would require the constant use OF five
steamboats,, each steamer carrying one
thousand tons, and receiving and discharg-
ing cargo every day. If devoted to that
use, it would furnish stream of milk,
ample for the navigation of the Jim Fisk,
between Cairo and Paducah. And so
endeth the Illinois milk and cow story.

CATARRH.
NEVER-FAILING RELIEF
AFFORDED BY
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE

TT Is fact that can be substantiated by the most
respectable testimonials ever offered In favor Of
any proprietary medicine, that the RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH does IN every case afford instant and
permanent relief Nomatter of how long standing
or how severe the disease the first dose gives such
evidence OF its value in the treatment Of Catarrah
affections that confidence IL at once felt in Its ab
ity to do all that is claimed for It, The testimony
Of physicians, druggists and patients Is unanimous
in This respect, and the accumulating evidence Is
in point Of respectabilty superior to any ever be-
fore obtained In favor of Il popular remedy, The
propretors therefore, may justly feel proud of the
position the RADICAL CURE has attained, and believe
itworthy of Its reputation.

THE HOUSE of congress is making some
progress on the Legislative appropriation
bill. The portions on which prolonged de-
bate is expected are not yet reached When
this bill is disposed of by the house the
sundry civil bills will be taken up. In the
latter will be found the provision repeal
ing that portion of the revised statutes
which creates "test oath for jurors in the
United States courts. This test oath, it Is
to say, relates entirely to
loyalty during the late civil war; and
is the means by which intelligent people
are kept from juries in the South and con-
viction assured, if conviction is thought by
the Attorney General of the United States
to be desirable. After the sundry civil
bill will come the deficiency bill, and final
", the 'river and harbor" bill. This will
cost, for the current fiscal year, six or seven
millions.
Oh SATURDAY last there was read in
Congress letter from the Secretary Of the
Treasury showing that he expects the re-
ceipts of the Government for the next fiscal
year to be about $2js,O0O,0O0 and the ex
penditures including $41,OO0,0O0 under the
late pension act, $2S5,O0O,0O0, leaving a
deficiency of $21,O00,OO0. The Secretary
does not recommend the imposition OF new
taxes; but the issue of the necessary
amount of new per cen: bonds. There Is
no need Of Il present appropriation OF the
full amount required by the arrears Of pen
sion law. The Commissioner of Pensions
cannot, without uniustifable interference
with the regular business Of his Office, dis
pose of hall the claims under the act An
appropriation of $?OOOO,OOO for the pur-
pose will be ample, though If bonds are to
be issued il may be well to authorize the
issue Of the whole amount at once.

Indian Grass. Cutters.

On December 18th / joined the com
camp under the trees near a
small town, in the country of the Talook-
dars of Oudh, having left Lucknow in
the early morning, and after drive of
some miles, and a subsequent walk
through the country, arrived at II
O'Clock for breakfast. After passing
through the rich land which surrounds
the city, and which resembles finely
wooded English park, we come to an
open fat country, with no trees, which
is covered with water in the rains, but
is now carrying the spring crop. Passing
this, we find again the usual cultivation.
For the first six miles we met troops of
people bearing their burdens to market,
most of the men with bundles slung over
their shoulders en- their long heavy bam-
boo slaves; the women and boys carry
ing on their heads baskets loaded with
dried cakes of cow-dung, which
they sell in the city for fuel {;
some with vegetables and dairy produce.
They are very lightly clad, but earnest
in the work they have in hand. Many
heavily laden, two-ox carts press on to-
ward the same market. Leaving the car
riage and walking through the fields. we
come to dry gheel, covered with short
creeping grass, and find several women
busy "grass cutting" They have a
short, sharp knife in the hand, which
they sweep in front of them, half cut
ting, half scraping the short grass clean
of the surface. The roots are left undis-
turbed, and soon grow again if there is
dew or moisture. There is a heavy dew
on the grass as we walk through it. A
woman or q lad can soon make up a
bundle of this grass weighing about 40
pounds. Thirty pounds is the daily
allowance for one horse, with eight
pounds of small beans or other corn.
The forenoon's work yields about 3D..
The owner of the grass gets nothing, and
it is the custom that any one may go
grass cutting wherever he sees suitable
locality.-T. Card, in Nineteenth Cen
tury. 80. sIAsE STA 80 Esss.

In building conundrums, Puck says,
the answer is the simplest part of the
structure. For instance, here is a capital
answer: "One is fall shopping, and the
other is shop falling" but we haven't
time to look around for couundrum to
fit it. And again: "One is Hamlet
alone, and the other is ham let alone"
The conundrum necessarily contains
something about the melancholy Dane
and diseased pork, Here is one COM

the dish, and pour about half cup of
batter over it, then more chicken and
more batter until the dish is filled, COW
ering the top with the batter. Bake
about half an hour or longer, depending
upon the heat of the oven. Beat an egg
and stir into the gravy which is set aside;

MISSING.

Missing, no more; dumb, dead wall
Of silence and darkn, SIS stands
Between us and they VINO left us here,
IN the golden morning of the year,
With hope and promise and parting cheer,
Wet eyes and waving HANDS.
Never an omen told our hearts
How fate lurked, grim and dark;
Fresh and sweet SMILED the April day.
And treacherous waves in sunli 1ht lay,
Kissing tue sauds of the sheltered bay.
and laughing around the bark.
Like molten silver shone her sails,
As she glided from our gaze;
And we turned us back to our homes again,
To let custom grow DER the yearning pain.
And to count by the heartn-ah, labor vain!-
Toe lonely lingering days.
Never letter from loving hands,
Never message came;
We knew long since should the port be Won;
We knew what the fierce north gales had done;
And slowly crept ovec every one
terror we would Lot name.
All mel those weary mornings,
When out GU the great pier-head
We strained our sight DER the tossing seas,
And studied each change in the ftfu1 breeze,
And strove to answer iu tones OF ease,
Light question coldly said.
All me! those weary midnights,
hearing the breakers roar;
Start!lng 1r0m dreams OF Storm ana Qeatn,
With beating pulses and catching breath,
TO hear the white surf /" call " beneath,
Along the hollas shore.
Never flash down the wires,
Never word from the east,
From the port she sailed for-how long agoi
Why, even spar one would weep to know,
Tossed on the Wild waves ebb and flow,
We're something real at least
Missing missing, and silence.
The great tides rise and fall
The sea lies dimpling out in the light,
Or dances. ell living, cleaning white;
Day follows day. night rolls on night:
Missing, and that is all.
The bark crossed out in the log book,
The name, dropped out of the prayers;
In many household a vacant place;
In many life a vanished grace.
We know our cast iu the long Lille race,
But only God knows theirs.

How Should Our Girls Read I

1t is a very prevalent notion among teachers
that the great object to be attained in teaching
reading is loud tone of voice, at whatever sac
rlfce Of musical qualitty or natural inclination.
This notion is as mistaken as 1t is prevalent. As
far as the boys are concerned this idea is prOba-
bly, correct at least it does not lead to objection
able effects. But do not let ruin the naturally
sweet voices of our little girls. 1t is remarked
to the standing discredit of American women
that they are recognized in Europe at the table
d'hote and other prOmiscuous assemblies by their
loud and harsh voices. This may be due, in
part, to climatic influence and the rushing
character of New World life But much Of it, in
our opinion, must be laid at the door Of the con-
scientious but injudiciOus teacher. He requires
the child to read in q strained unnatural voice,
in order that she may overcome the continual
murmer of the school room, and he heard per-
haps by the passer-bye; and even then the goad-
ing admonition ''louder, louder!' is not uufre-
auent. But this unnatural tone soon becomes
second nature will the child and is carried to
the family fireside and the social circle.
Now, against all this we protest. First.
stop the noise which you say Is natural and un-
avoidable, and then let the child read in her
natural conversational tone. We should correct
girls oftener for reading too loud than for the
contrary fault. What is it we admire more than
q low sweet voice? What attracts one more
surely and powerfully? 1t indicates at once gen.
tleness Of heart and manners. 1t belongs to the
refined and cultivated in intellect and the pure
and lovely in character. A.
