How and when TO Take IL Va
c:atiGHRs
lPrnNiucncc journal. !

There are people who do not take Il
vacation because they consclentlousIy
cannot; there arc those who don't take
one because they wont; there are those
who. taking, make something III the
way of health, amusement or acquire
ment OF knowledge out OF their vacation,
and there are those who only Intensity
the incOnseuuencc OF their existence ny
travel. About the only thing to be said
is that every one ought to have sense
enough to know how and when and
where to take his or her vacation ana to
avoid the idea that the recreation OF an
other is q guarantee that the S-me place
and things will give pleasure to the I'M
itator. Means, tastes, habits, sex, Tune
Of life, are all factors, and where these
coincide the fact OF no or lasty and
limited acuUaintanceshlp IS Suiiiclcnt
with many TO initiate against the crowd.
The law of variety is an universal us
any other law. 1t is as beneficial rs 1t

ruts. But it IS not essential that the
change should be far in distance OF great

half of physical and mental recupera
ton. NAV often better be taken at home );
that is to say, with such excursions as
do not break up the home life; or Ill
many cases the habit Of turning daily,
for an hour or two, wholly aside from
the ordinary routine and in indulgin@ i'll
reading, study or work OF different
character, will he Il perpetual and Suiti-
cicnt vacation. One thing is absolutely
certain, change of place is not the essen
tial; it is change of thoughts, of care, Of
responsibility. Worry among the bills
or in Europe is as depressing and des-
tructive as worry i'll the cOunting-room
or nlanufactory more SO, for dis
tancc prccludes its alleviation by the
endcavor to remove its cause. The
formal, fashionable and legal vacation
ought to be the occasion for the renewal
of strength Of body and mind. How
far it is so, fortunately perhaps, we have
no statistics to show.

THE MEN WHO HAVE GAINED WEALTH
BY THEIR OWN ENERTIONS.

London, writes Il correspondent Of the
New York Times, still manages to sell
vast quantities Of works OF art, and the
merchants and manufacturers of the
North arc still among the chief patrons
of the studies and auction rooms. The
finest galleries, the most costly collection
of modern days, have been made by the
cotton kings OF Manchester, the mcr-
chant princes Of Liverpool and the mid
land manufactures. Another circum-
stance worth remembering is that most
of these rich art collectors have been the
architects of their own fortunes. IN
deed, the majority Of the veal thy men
of business in gland have either made
their own fortunes or spruu@ from some
poor clever, industrious man, who, like
Richard Crawsliay has laid the founda
ton Of the house. Here are a few eXam
pies: Ripley, the member of parliament
for Bradford, who owns half the town,
is self made. His father and mother
used to attend the market. The father
of, Bass, the great brewer, Was in very
small way Of business, and his mother
sold yeast in little shop. The first lord
of the aAmirality's father kept Il small
agents store in London. Mr.. Wal
ter, member Of parliament and chief
proprietor VI tIit lltiNSs iitlIo Dt1tN-
believe, to his fathers humble printing
office in the city. Mr.. johnston, who left
behind him the Standard, worth 500 900
year, besides real estate, was an officer
in the old bankruptcy court. The late
Herbert Ingram, member Of Parliament
and founder Of the Illustrated News,
kept little drug store at Nottingham.
Mr.. Lawson, the chief proprietor OF the
Telegraph, for which he draws for his
share, quite $4,000 year, was the
commercial representative Of an ink
house. He is now one Of the rich COM
moners of England. Report has it that
his income is over SGOO,000 year. This,
Of course, does not begin to approach the
income of the wealthy men OF England
who have inherited as we'll as made
fortunes. Robert Crawshay had at least
SO 900, 900 left him by his father. How
much more he made or lost don't know
He gave his daughters wedding gifts
that wonld buy a German dukedom.
But, talking of newspaper men, LabOu-
chere, in spite of the newspapers and
theatres, pays income tax on 100000 Il
year. He was ROBBED some time since
by forgeries on his bank of ss5000 eX-
tending some months, without being
aware Of it. The bank called his atten-
ton to some irresnlarity, which brought
the fraud to light.

Texan manifestation OF Erie nd

Virginia (Neb.l Chronicle ,


\ friend gives us the following little
anecdote rs illustrative OF the neighbour
ly love Of the people OF Texas: He and
d Texan, who was contemplating the
purchase of Il ranch somewhere i'll True
Gen Meadows, were out on horseback
looking at the farms and cattle ranges
along the river. AS they leizltrcly fol
lowed the mcanGcrings of the stream
they presently saw two horsemen on
the opposite bank. AS the two parties
anprOachcd each other the Texan with
our friend recognized in one of the men
on the opposite bank Of the river an old
friend and a man who was one OF his
nearest neighbors at home. The two
men hailed each other from the OppO-
site banks Of the stream, and exchange
iny greetings, many friendly questions
were nut and answered. The men were
evidently delighted to meet cacll other,
and their only regret Apncarc; to be
that they encountered one another III a
place where it was llpOsSlbIc for them
to clasp and shake hands, the river not
being fOrGnbIe on account Of its swift
ness and the rocky and trcachtrous
nature Of its channel, while the nearest
bridge was five miles, above. Both men
lamcntci these unfortunate circumstan-
ccs very much, but at length a way OF
getting over the difficulty suggested it's
self to the drovcr, whose pet name WAS
"i}ioncIo BILL.

Ruinously low prices for cotton goods
are discouraging the English manufac-
tprers. Manchester papers intimate
that an effort to remedy this condition
will be made by reducing production,
and that, to this end, there is likely to
be general resort to the short time
system. In the nature of things it is
impossible that such an expedient can
have any permanent relieving effect.

PLANTING TREES AND SuRUBs.--Sm
groups of trees and shrubs may be rem
dered very effective if due care is taken
in planting them. Have care that the
general effect will be q good one, and
to this end let the trees forming group
be of one general character. Thus, it
conical trees be distributed equally or
injudiciously over the grounds along
with round-headed trees they will pro-
duce great sameness; but if conical trees
prevail in one place, drooping or Weep
ing trees in another, round-Ileaded trees
in third and low-spreading varieties
occupy another side, many distinct char
acters will be produced, and this will be
much more interesting to the beholder
than one continuous group of mixed
trees of various habits. The same gen.
eral rules apply with eqnal force to or
namental shrubs. Tn planting single
trees care should be had to the proper
soil they should always be planted in
prepared soil raised in heaps d foot OF
more above the general surface, so that
after q year or two, when the earth has
settled, as it will to a certain degree, the
tree may stand on little hillOck. The
trees, before planting, should be ten OF
twelve feet in height, with trunks three
or four inches in diameter at the surface
Of the ground.

Bean Hickman.
AN ANECDOTE OF THE CIIEEi>lEST OF
DEAD-BEATS.

1t is related of the famous Beau Hick-
to tirst-class hotel in Baltimore, and,
after registering his name, said he
wanted the very best the house could
afford for his money, tWirling in his
hand at the s;lme time Il quarter of a
dollar. The clerk saw before him All
elegantly -attired gentleman, and, as
Beau requested, assigned him hand
some parlor and bedroom. Beau lived
like a fighting cock, ordering wines,
extra dinners and everything palatable,
for week, at the end of which time
the bill was sent. The amount was
something extravaganza.
Nothing a5ashed, however, he strolled
into the office and confronted the clerk.
Look here, sir; there must be some
mistake about this when | came here
told you [ wanted the best you could
afford for my moneys worth. | had
this quarter then (producing the coin,)
and it's all I've had since" The clerk
waxcd angry and high words followed.
Your fault, sir, your fault" said the
imperturable Beau, "not mine. Iou
can kick ne ont if You like, but I'd
rather go alone" Tradition says they
were about to proceed to violent meas
ures when the landlord appeared on the
scene, and, looking at the name Oh the
register, recalled the peculiar vagrant
character Of the man before him Chen
just becoming notorious in Washinston,)
and discovered that he had been "eSre-
giously sold.1 The thought flashed
across his mind. If this joke gets out
| shall he the laughing stock of my
friends, and never hear the last of it.''
DeliucratinG o moment he turned to
Bean aud good-naturedly remarked :
" Well, Hickman, that's the best [ ever
had; butI can't keep it. III make Il
bargain with you. Here, take this s.
and pay your fare to Washington (Bean
quietly pocketed the half eagle and
now go over to------==-house, stay week
on the same terms that you stayed here,
and III give you q dinner every time
you come to Baltimore."> "Thank you,'
replied Beau, without cracking a smile,
I've been over there for two weeks
and they sent me here"
1t is needless to add that Beau dis
appeared out of the front door with an
accel lerated motion, and the landlord
never heard the last OF his attempt to
get "even" with his neiShbor.

The receipts Of coffee at New Orleans
from Rio de Janeiro during the year
ending June 30, 1878, amounted to 2g,-
800 bags, showing an increase OF 53,765
bags over the receipts of the previous
year. This was an encouraging show
ing, and the hope was indulsed and the
belief expressed that New Orleans would
in few years resume her old position
as the great coffee importing city Of this
country. We regret to say that the
outlook is not so promising. this year.
The receipts of Rio coffee this year foot
up l44,47f bags, 5S,411 bags less than
those Of last year. This falling off,
however, is largely attributable to our
epidemic of last summer, during the
prevalence Of which very few vessels
came here from Rio. Our receipts this
year Of MEXICAN coffee are 26,273 bags,
against 24s33 bags last year, showing
an increase of 204G bags. The receipts
