The Richest People =" the World.

Americans will soon be prepared,
il they are not already, to compete for
the honor of being the richest people
in the world. They are fast gaining
the race, and will soon pass France
and England. No country has become
rich as rapidly as this in the last TWEEN
ty years. The last three United States
censuses give the total (not assessed)
valuations of real and personal
estate exclusive Of government prop
erty, in all the States and Territories,
as follows; In 1850, s7,135, 7S0, 228;
1860, SIG, 1859, 6l6,O6S; 1870. $780,
06S, 51S,507. Between 1850 and 1850
the wealth Of the United States more
than doubled. Had the gain contin-
ued at the same pace since 1870 the
coming census would put us far ahead
of France, even allowing her to put
in the national property, which we
omit. But the known shrinkage of
values in the United States for the
past few years forbids us to expect
confidently that this country will take
the lead in 1880. But il she does not
occupy that rank next year, she will
surely do il time not remote. EN-.

LIFE IN A LIGHTHOUSE. "A grim
story Of life in a lighthouse comes
from the Burmah coast, and is printed
in the Rsngoon Times. A telegram
having announced that the light Of the
Alguada reef was not visible. a steam
er was dispatched to ascertain the
cause. The Captain, on landing, dis.
covered two Of the men in the light
house dead, while third was lying l..
a precarious state. The keeper stated
that signals of distress, such as 81
want immediate help" and "NIan
dying" has been exhibited by him for
about twenty days. As last resort,
all his signals having failed to attract
attention, he darkened the light On
the Bassein side, feeling certain that
this step would not fail to attract at
tention To the lighthouse. And 50,
with the dead and the dying. he
watched for relief. which came at last.

Among the many advocates for I'M
mersion was a preacher who believed
that he ought not to select a subject
beforehand, and on one occasion when
he arose to speak, as he opened the
Bible, his eve fell on these words;
"The voice Of the turtle is heard in
the land" At FIRST he thought he
was stumped. At length he said
Brethren, at first thought one would

you all know what a tnrtle is. II you
have been along by pond, you have
seen them on the logs, summing them
selves. Now it is said, The voice Of
the turtule is heard in the land But
the turtle hasn't any voice that any
body ever heard, so it must be the
noise thai the turtle made in plunging
on the log into the water; hence, We
conclude that immersion is meant,
and thus that immersion will be uni.

the letters grew longer and warmer,

The Danville (Va.) Ne'rs, in it, re-
port of Judge Rives' Court now in scs-
sion there, says: The man Grayely,
who was tried and acquitted for re-
failing liquor without settling with
Uncle Sam for the privilege, is a ne
gro rs black rs the southern exposure
Of a tarbucket, but a man Of sense,
nevertheless. When his case was
called he noticed several negroes on
the jury called to try him. when he at
once said to his counsel. "For Goder-
mighty's sake don't let dem niggers
try me-" Counsel demonstrated with
him but he said: al don't want mig
gers to try me, dey would hang man
jes ter see him kick.
That negro may not be as well vers-
ell in legal lore, 18th amendments,
civil rights bills, &c, as Judge Rives,
but he has got negro nature down, in
this latitude, tolerably fine.

GAETTRs. If carriers are worn, it
is important to know how to apply
them with the least risk of harm. At
the bend of the knee the superficial
veins of the leg unite, and 60 deeply
into the under part of the thigh, be-
meath the hamstring tendons. Thus
a ligature below the knee obstructs
all the superficial veins; but if the
continuance is above, the hamstring
tendons keep the pressure off the veins
which return the blood from the legs.
Unfortunately, most people, in igno-
rance of the above facts, apply the
garter below the knee.

TASTE FOR READING. Sir John
Herschel has declared that "if he
were to pray for taste which should
stand under every variety of circum.

and cheerfulness to him through life,
il would he taste for reading" Give
a man, he aiIirms, that taste. and the
means OF gratifying it, and You can
not fail of making him good and hap
ry; for you bring him in contact with
the best society in all ages, with the
tenderest, the bravest, and the purest
men who have adorned humanity,
making him denizen of all nations,
a contemporary Of all times, and CIV
ing him practical proof that the
world has been created for him, for
his solace, and for his enjoyment.

stones, which has been discovered in
England. Several tons of "melilo-

chicory and date stones, were seized

Barn.yard manure must remain, for
