Awful and Appalling Alteration.

We want to weller in the blood of the
blamed blatherskites who perennially
persist in aiming at capt alliteration's
artfll aid " in all articles appearing in
their particular papers. We want to
welcome all well-wishers of our common
country, of our corrupted common
wealth and our. beloved Boston to our
aid in Selling upon this sign of sensa-
tionalism and dreadfully drubbing the
driveling, dreary and drooling draft, and
driving it from the columns of coptem-
porary collocations decomposition. How
direfully and distressingly disgusting to
the lover of light or lofty literature to be
pertinaciously and perpetually pestered
with some such sentence as Dear
Daniel Drew Dead" or "The Boston
Batters Beaten Beautifully" or "The
Fire Fiend Furious" or "Murky Muir
der Mangles the Mortal Names of More
Massacred Men" There is a kind of
meaningless, musical madness about
this literary lunacy that decidedly de-
ceives its devotees. They think they are
doing doughty deeds with their queasy,
querulous and quixotic quilts, whereas
they but mechanically manipulate
meaningless maunderings, marrying
meretricious mouthings and mournful
mutterings with mendacious and medi-
OGRE matter. Out on the outre and out
rageous outpourings OF these outcasts,
these outlaws Gust them out if you
can, Guido them if you 't.-BoSton

King Theebau's Family.

Some interesting information about
the late King of Burmah's family affairs
are published by an Indian paper. The
gay old monarch had during his lifetime
fifty-three recognized wives, by whom
he had forty eight sons and sixty-two
daughters, or a nice little family of ITO
children, of whom fifty-nine survived
him. Of the fifty-three wives, twelve
died before the king, and of the remain
der, two were imprisoned by him on ac-
count of their supposed completely in
plots by their children, the Meng- Gwan
and Katha princes, and two were ex-
PEELED for adultery. Deducting those
who died and these four, the king had at
the time of his death thirty seven recog-
nized wives. Of these thirty-seven
ladies, one only was massacred by King
= Theebau. She appears to have been
particularly obnoxious to him on ac-
count of her being the mother of the
Mekhara Prince, a powerful rival of
Theebau's. No fewer than fourteen of
this la 1y's children and grandchildren
were massacred with her. One of her
grandsons had fled to Rangoon. Thir-
teen of the late kings wives quilted the
palace either during his illness OF lust
hree wives are still in the palace, and of
that number seven only are free, or be-
lieved to be so. The other sixteen are
confinement more or less strict.
Seven are known to be in what may be
called rigorous Imprisonment. Some OF
them are in double irons, half starved
and not permitted to have any attend
ants. Out of the forty-eight sons born
to the king, twenty-four died before him,
leaving twenty-four alive at the time Of
his death. Of these twenty-four, four
teen are known to have been massacreC
by Theebau. Four are now alive in
India, leaving only. six, including the
present king, alive in Mandalay. O.
these six, only one besides the king is
grown up. This one is the Kya-bene
Prince, who is lunatic; and it is NO
certain that even he has been left alive
The other four are boys from ten to two
years of age. Out of the sixty-twt
daughters of the late king, thirty-fiv,
survived him. Four of these-all mar
ried to princes-were with their families
killed by Theebau in February AM
March last; of the remainder, twenty
one are now in confinement in the pal
ace, nine of them being in close impris
onment.-Ne2U York Herald.

A Slight Difference,

1t was nearly shutdown rs wearily she
walked irto the house, settled herself on
the sofa, and began swinging her palm
leaf fan TO cool her heated brow. "Well,
/ got well paid for going down to the
green. I'd no idea that DIR. Bacon was
ever out among the wild Indians of the
West.n
We'll" said her husband. che never
was to any great extent, | guess"
well, he said so, anyhow. l should
think he ought to know something about
it."
"Why, Miranda, you must be mis-
taken. DIR. Bacon has lived in New
Haven forever, almost"
u guess heard what he said, and
wasn't it interesting, though? Why,
when he was boy, he ran away from
home in the dead of night, stole one of
his fathers horses, and before sunrise he
was one hundred miles away and had
Joined the Cheyennes That's what he
said, and I'll believe him before | will
you"
Now, now, you must have heard
with your elbows; DR.. Bacon never stole
his fathers horse. Why, bless your
soul, he's minister. He isn't horse
thief
"And he lived with the Indians eight
years, until they fought the whites, and
then he went back home, and found his
father and mother scalped on the cabin
floor, and he vowed on his Bonded knees,
with his bowie knife uplifted, that he
would kill Indians the rest of his natural
life."
"Oh, fudge you are away off the
track. The whole story is impossible.
Why, know something about the doc
tor myself; he"
"And he has kept that vow, and has
got forty scalps in his trunk at the hotel
that he took with his own hand. Why
l had no idea he had such interesting ex
periences."
Where was DIR. Bacon when he had
the cheek to tell all this?"
Why, right on the sidewalk, anC
there was big crowd listening to hin
almost breathlessly; he was real elo
quent."
"Oh, see." said jeremiah, as a sud-
den light flashed across his mind. "Yor
were listening to the wrong man. Tha
was silver-polish peddlar, telling biz
yarn to draw the people together. DIR
Bacon was speaking over on the stanC
in the center Of the green" It'd.
What, that white-haired man tina
was out there. He didn't have so mucl
of crowd as this man, so / thought, O
course, it wasn't of much account, and
didn't go on the green at all"

Trade Dollars and Clipped Silver.

A correspondent complains of the
losses growing out of the circulation of
trade dollars and mutilated subsidiary
coins. The responsibility for this rests
upon class who ought to be ashamed
of it. Small manufacturers and others
who carry on n business in which they
have to disburse money or wages, bny
up the trade dollars and the punched or
clipped coin at discount of three to five
per cent, and force them out again at
par. The operatives who receive them
spend them with the shopkeepers, pay
ing for the discount in the additional
price of the wares they purchase. The
tradesmen sell them to the brokers at
five to eight per cent, and the latter
turn them out once more on the same
round.
The punched coins are many of them
the relics of old boards, but it is evident
that the work of mutilation has been
started, afresh, as many of the newer
pieces have been treated in the same
way. The government, with little eff
fort, might trace the parties engaged in
this unlawful business, and put stop to
it. The popular superstition that it is
the work of silversmiths has no founda-
ton in truth. Some rogues have a little
machine which they use for the purpose,
and must have also facilities for realiz
ing the full value of the coin after it has
been robbed of its value. Once in cir
culatior it goes on the old round. The
tradesmen and others who must take all
that is offered sort out the coin, deposit
ing all that is bankable and paying out
what they can, selling the rest at dis
count. Thence it should go into the
melting-pot, and would but for the dis
graceful action of those who buy it from
the brokers to force it once more into
circulation.-NeaO York JoarGl Of Com

The Prussian Government appears
determined to make sure that the army
shall not, like the French soldiery, be
perm Gated by the leaven of democratic
ideas. The troops stationed in Berlin
have been forbidden to read the Liberal
newspapers, and their quarters are to
be searched at regular times for the
prohibited journals and for other ob-
jectionable publications. Severe pun
ishment is promised those with whom
such articles are found.

The venomous Breath OF Malaria

The benomOus Breath OF Malaria
Does not infect the systems OF those who use
Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs as precaution
against it. Nor is it less useful as a remedy
where intermittent and remittent. fever has
fully established itself, in consequence OF a
neglect of preventive measures. II checks
the paroxysms. with astonishing certainty, and
eradicates this type OF disease, even in its
most inveterate form. This medicine is an
especial boon to the emigrant population OF
the TAR West where levers OF a malarial type
are particularly prevalent, but the recognition
of its merits is so far from being limited that
it is known and appraised at its true value
throughout the length and breadth of Amer
lea. Travellers by land and sea, miners
and soourners in unhealthy localities esteem
it highly, and are its most constant pur-
chasers, and in many a rural household far
and wide it is the chosen family specific.

Are There no Many Farmerse


lisa no more common complaint
Of farmers than Of men in other
ayocation, that their business has
been overdone or that, as one Of them
recently said to us prices Of farm
produce will never reach paying
Rates again untila great many enga-
ged in farming find work al some
thing elsep We believe that this is
a serious mistake, and that it leads
to other mistakes quite as serious.
The idea is, that there are too many
farmers because too much produce is
grown. Obviously, then, the world
would be benefited if every farmer
would produce less. Astep farther,
and we should all be more prosper
GUS, If our soil were poorer. Fertili-
ty then, is found to be curse and
barrenness a blessing! About here a
clear-headed thinker will see that
there must be a fallacy somewhere in
this logic. Let US briefly point out
wherein the fallacy consists.
The trouble of this country is, not
that there are too many farmers, or
too many producers Of any kind, but
that there are too many producers
who cannot sell in the markets Of the
world because they produce too ex-
pensively. So, we see that, after all,
it is because our land is too poor ra-
Their than too rich, and produces too
little rather than too much, that
American farmers are suffering. We
cannot have too much production Of
anything, provided it is produced
cheaply, There are not too many
farmers, but too many poor farmers
and too much poor farming. When
we get the cost of production here
down below that of other countries,
we can always undersell them and
there will never be any glutted mar
ket.,
Despite the large areas of new
lands brought under cultivation at
