JOHN J. WAX, by dint of hard work
and enterprise has succeeded in placing
himself at the head of one of the most
complete grocery establishments in our
city. Near the University, is where his
handsome store and warehouses are sit
uated. No one understands better than
he how to select the incest and freshest
meats, preserves, vegetables, liquors, can
dies, crackers, cheese, sugars, ETC., be-
sides, every other article needed in the
household or plantation. When it comes
topriccs, he deties competition. For this,
outside of the fact that more clever
man than our good friend, John, does
not live. He receives an immense patron
age. He is one Of our most public spir
tied citizens. One of Louisiana's veteran
soldiers he deserves all he obtains, ant
more if possible in the way Of large ruI

B. Feibelman has iammed his capa-

every variety of ladies', gents and boys

this city. We don't see how he will
manage to get rid of his immense assert
ment unless he continues to sell at the
low prices that he fixes on his merchan-
disc. How he can pay expenses and
dispose Of his goods at such small profits
is wonder to everybody who buys
there. The store is crowded from morn

A Performing Bull.

That excellent naturalist and charm
ing writer, Frank auckland, describes
with great spirit the new performing
bull at the Westminster Aquarium,
London. The bull is an old hand at
the Spanish bull-fghts. He has, how
ever, luckily found sincere friend in
Signor Ortica, an experienced bull
tighter, who has made him his friend.
So great friends are the man and this
savage beast that they are inseparable.
Ortica sleeps with his bull, coiled up
between the animals legs. On one oc-
casion some people came in the night to
rob Ortica. Mr.. Bull heard the thieves,
and shortly made these gentlemen re.
treat. He is magnificent animal,
standing about FIVE feet high, as black
as night, only that the hair is worn off
from his fore quarters; the rest of the
hair is shining like satin dress. His
name is Ligero, weight 1900 pounds,
bred by the Marquis of Tablentes; stud
animal, and years old. Suffice it to
say that the animal is from the neigh
borhood of Seville (the capital of Anda-
lusia), place well known for its breed
OF cattle. The bull has temper OF his
own. Nobody is allowed to touch him
but Ortica, and there are not many who
would volunteer so to do.

An Improved Utopia.

A remarkable scheme is on foot in
San Francisco which we suspect orig
mated with Major Jacob Stratman or
Philosopher Pickett. Circulars giving
detailed information about the project
have been sent to several residents of
Virginia City. 1t is nothing less than a
plan for colonizing an island in the Pa
ciic. AS yet no locality has been
definitely fixed upon, but there is lit
tie island about 100 miles west of San
Diego which is considered a very eligi-
BILE spot. 1t can be reached in from 20
to 80 hours sail from the coast by
schooner. The island is blessed with a
perpetual Indian-summery climate and
is covered with luxurious vegetation.
Those who contemplate taking up their
residence on the island say that their
principal object is to escape from the
many annoyances incident to more civ
ilized life. 1t is proposed to limit the
colony to so persons, men, women and
children, and to kill off any man or
woman who become obnoxious to the
rest. Every body is to do just as she or
he pleases, SO long as there is no at
tempt to NEEDLE with the affairs of 9TH
ers. ANY person proposing to form a
municipal government is to be buried
up to his neck in the sand of the sea-
shore at low tide. No money of any
kind is to be used on the island. All
things are to be in common. Religious
or political discussions are punishable
with death-the offenders to be fed to
the seals.-Nirginia City (Nev.) Cbron-

A Bright Boys Happy Thought.

The Hartford correspondent of the
Springfield Republican says: "That
was a pretty bright thoug ht of one of
the Battersons, who, when employed
some years since as lad in an office in
New York, was sent to present a bill to
shaky concern, with orders to collect
it at all hazards. After much urging
the head of the debtor house gave him
a check for 500, the amount Of the bill.
Hurrying to the bank at which it was
payable, the lad presented the check
only to be told, Not enough funds to
meet it, How much is the account
short?' was the boys quick retort.
Seven dollars, said the teller. It lacked
but minute or two of 8 o'clock and the
teller was about to close the door on the
boy when the latter suddenly pulled 81
from his own pocket, and pushing it
over with a deposit check said: PUT
that to the credit of - & Co.. the
parties who had given the check. The
teller did so, when the lad at once pre-
sented the check for 500, and rawing
the full amount thereof went back to his
employers in triumph. But, as he puts
it, - & Co., who failed the very next
day, were hopping mad when they
found they had no funds in their bank n

Employment.

The following just sentiment was ut
tered by Daniel Webster, in speech in
the Senate of the United States. 1t
should be had in everlasting remem-
brance:
"Sir, say it is employment that
makes the people happy. Sir, this
great truth ought never to be forgotten /;
it ought to be placed upon the title page
of every book on political economy in
tended for America, and such countries
as America. 1t ought to be placed in
every farmers magazine and mechan-
les magazine. 1t should be proclaimed
everywhere, Notwithstanding what we
hear of the usefulness-and admit the
high usefulness of cheap food-notwith.
standing that the great truth should be
proclaimed everywhere, should be made
into proverb, if it could-that where
there is work for the hands and the
men, there will be work for their teeth.
Where there is employment there will
be bread. And in country like our
own, above all others, will this truth
hold good-a country like ours, where,
with great deal of spirit and activity
among the masses, if they can find en-
ployment, there is always great willing
ness for labor. If they can obtain fair
compensation for their labor, they will
have good houses-good clothing-good
food, and the means of educating their
families; and if they have good houses,
and good clothing, and good food, and
means Of educating their children from
their labor, that labor will be cheerful,
and they will be contented and happy

A SUMNER AFTERNOON.

The sunlight sleeping on the hills
In drowsy sple ndor dreams away
The long slow hours as If it felt
The rapture of perfect day.
The mountains stretch, broad waving line
OF purple light along the sky,
While at their feet rich shadows yelled
Serene and fair the meadows lie.
There comes to us the hum of bees;
A bird fits by on startled wing,
And through dim arches in the wood
We hear the swaying breezes sing.
With ripping laugh and silvery sheen,
Through cool, green haunts OF moss and
fern,
The brock betrays Its hiding place,
And clearer grows at every turn.
The wild rose lifts its blushipg face
Above the wayside grasses low,
While pale wood lilies In the shade
Their snow white bells swing to and fro
o, golden summer afternoon,
We rest content; we ask no more
Only to hear the wind repeat
The self same story DER and DER.
Only to breathe the fragrant air,
To watch the lights and shadows play,
To quaff the nectar that the sun
In btimming beakers pours to-day.
1t is enough to be, to feel
The tranquil mood of field and wood,
To know Gods blessing everywhere
Hath made so much that's fair and good.
Mary E. Folsom, in Springfield Republican.
