A lover of certain cut of beefsteak is
like a plucky prize-fghter, always ready
for another round.
The most economical man is reported as
living in the second ward. He took a
bung-hole to the cooper to have a barrel
made around it.
An exchange asks: "Why do the horns
OF a cow grow up and the tail down." We
suppose it is because the horns do not grow
down and the tail does not grow up. If this
is not the answer we give it up.
A Roman says he has figured out the
cause of the failures that overtake business
men. When he went to school he was
taught that the world was the shape OF an
orange---round, but little flattened at the
poles. He says that is where the trouble
lies. Ii the world had not been hattened
at the poles everything would have gone on
all right.
A painter, who had already put seven
coats of paint on the walls, demonstrated
with the lady of the house because she
wanted him to put on another coat, just tC
change the tint little. "Why not put Oh
more?" she said. "What will be tn,
harm ?" "Well, madam, if you keep on
you will take up all the room with paint
and then you will have no space for you
furniture" Butshe insisted, and at last ac
counts he was still painting, Sentinel

A few years ago, and for aught we
know to-day, a placard in the bedrooms
of a large hotel at Prague stated that
"Guests are requested to communicate
to the landlord all complaints arising on
thier sides" AT Pesth to-day placard
in a much h-frequented inn announces
Gentlemen are requested not to fiatter
the female servants on the stairs, as many
dishes have thus been broken"

A new experiment in surgery has been
tried in the New York Charity Hospital,
where two ounces of human milk were
injected into the veins OF II female
patient suffering from several assesses.
At the conclusion of the operation the
doctor in charge said: "The patient
will suffer no harm from the operation,
and possibly she may be benefited
However, | think that / have seen
enough to convince me that the trans
fusion of milk should be abandoned as
an unsuccessful operation. think we
will stick to blood hereafter" Another
patient, also young woman, was then
subjected to the operation of blood trans
fusion. She was in the last stage of
consumption. The blood was furnished
by strong male attendant at the hos
pital, who had already been bled four
times in the same cause. He warned the
doctor that this was the last time that he
would consent to the operation, saying
he was getting too old to be able to spare
any blood. About three ounces of blood
were drawn from his arm, and the oper-
ator defibrinated it by stirring it with
glass rod and straining it through a
piece of linen. Ammonia was then
mixed with the blood to prevent it from
coagulating, and care was taken to main
tain the temperature ut the normal
standard. Then a vein was opened in
| the patient, and the blood injected.

When the Union forces were captured
at Plymouth, N. c., during the war, the
colors of the Sixteenth Connecticut reg
iment were torn up and distributed
among the officers and men to save them
from the Confederates. Many who had
these relics were taken to Southern
prisons, but they kept their trusts care
fully. 1t is now proposed to gather as
many of these pieces as possible, arrange
them in suitable form and place them
among the other colors at the State
House.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Three years ago an Englishman named
Hebron was convicted of murder, and
narrowly escaped the scaffold. The man
Place, who was hung recently, confessed
that he had committed the murder for
which Hebron was undergoing punish
ment; and now the British government
is taking steps to compensate Hebron for
the wrong done to him by the law.

In memorial to Congress relative to
the coming census of the United States,
the superintendent of the census of 1860,
Mr.. Kennedy, gives the following statis-
tics as an illustration of the stupendous
results from single hive of bees, trans
ported to the Pacific coast less than
thirty years ago. From the single county
of San Diego, California, in 1876 there
was shipped the astonishing figure of
l250. 900 pounds. In 1877 there were in
that county $4,000 color,ies of bees, and
in one day, September 6, 1878, there were
shipped from that port 7S barrels, 1.053
cases and Is tons; and that from and in
Guiding July II to November 10, 1878,
less than four months, that one county
exported over 1000 barrels, l4,544 cases
and nearly 90 tons. He who would
strike out (from the census reporO the
item of honey, could not have known,
so great has the interest in this product
become, that many people in California
have from 500 to 1000 hives, and that
over 100 people in one county have each
more than 100 colonies of bees Accord
ing to the London Neacs of january 1S,
there arrived in November at Liverpool
so tons of honey, the product of the bees
of one individual, and that a Mr.. Hodge,
in the first week of January last, landed
100 tons at London wharf, the produ 1t
of California. The annual product OF
honey has grown to 35,000,000 pounds
annually.

The death of Nine. Bonaparte and the
story of her marriage that it naturally
revives brings to mind the French mar
riage laws. 1t will be remembered that
the nearest she could come to getting her
son legitimized was the official declara-
ton that he was "a legitimate son of
France" This was rather more vague
than satisfactory; and the occasion is a
fit one to call to mind the perils of mar
rying Frenchman. No Frenchman
can marry without the consent of his
parents, or, if they are dead, of his
grandparents. If he is over twenty-five,
and they refuse, he may send them,
through a public notary, three respect
fully-written requests two weeks apart,
and then the mayor can authorize him
to proceed. If, however, he is n person
of political prominence, this publicity of
family differences is tacitly forbidden by
custom, and the scandal of such pub
lcity must be avoided by the abandon
ment of the proposed marriage. That is,
the greater man the son is, the greater
is the hold Of his parents upon him.

A Valuable COMPUTATION,

Mr. +. Tarble, of SwantOn, the eminent
tributes to the Vermont National the follow
ing graphic picture of our past and present
situation" Promising that ''it is reported
that Augustus Bclmount, the rich banker ut
Washington for the Rothschilds, himself
bought five hundred million of United States
bonds of our Government" he proceeds as
follows:
These bonds running 60 years at six per
cent compound semi annual interest, or to
the year 1921 would amount to rs much
value AS all the real and percinal property
belonging TO the United States in 1870 reck-
cning il at its present value, with these facts
staring us in the face is out our present iinan-
cial distress tracablc to their sourses, TO mag
nifty this fvcfold We have only 10 consider
that in 1865 our national debt amounted to
over thirty-five thousand million, instead of
that five hundred million and then to nearly
double this amount again, We have only to
add State, county town and other municipal
debt, all combined as an unparable oppres-
sivc load upon the people, and parable to
the fund. again To double this amount, a re-
duciion of this amount of currency was re-
sorted To in order to reduce the value of prop
crty about one half, which completes the
paying of the property, about one half which
completes the forging Of the letters, for the
masses both north and south but for few
that they may see and unite for the over
throw of this oppressive throldom, they try
to set the people quarelling, among them
selves upon some false sectional issue in or
der To preoccupy their attention that they
NAV moi discover the real issnc Such is the
picture of our past and present situation
What is the remedy? +. TARBLE.
Mr. TarI,lcs conundrum is something of
poser; hut probably the remedy" is in the
immediate creation and issue by the Govern
mcnt of about billion cords Of fiat money.

Corn Sugar.

The Commissioner of the Department Of
Agriculture has very recently issued circu-
lar in relation to the manufacture of maize
and sorghum sugar, which should attract the
attention, not alone of the farmers, hut of
every one who desires the development Of
the resources of our country. The Commits
sioner alludes to the experiments of Profcs-
scr Collier, the chemist of the Department, rs
settling the fact that there exists no Difficult
~ in making from either corn or sorghum
first-ratc quality of sugar, which will com
pare favorably with the best product from
the Sugar-canc grown in the most favorable
localities"
1t would be idle to enlarge upon the value
of a home manufacture of sugar made
from the corn-stalk. While it is said
that the sugar-bcct requires soil
not universally found, corn can he grown
almost over our entire territory, and with
the slightest expense. Practically speaking,
there is no limit To the amount of corn We
can grow and il would be some consolation
