Oryille Grant.

Almost any day about noon there
can be seen about the Ebbitt House a
man of square, compact build, rather
shabbily clad. Hardly shabbily. either;
but with blue suit of clothes, showing
the need of brushing and attention, his
head covered with black SLOUGH hat,
rather crumpled, and worn down over
the eyes; on his feet low-cut pair of
shoes, the heels worn aslant, between
which and the short pair of pantaloons
is exposed pair of white-once-half-
hose. This comprises the outward
makeup of Orville Grant, brother of
the General and ex-President. In face
and figure Orville is not unlike his dis
tinguished brother. He is somewhat
taller, but has the same oval face, wears
his whiskers cut short, and has the same
shaped head. When he walks the
streets he carries his head down, and
reminds one of person trying to settle
in his mind knotty mathematical
problem. If one says, "How do you
do?" he returns the salutation pleasant
ly and passes on. Most of the time he
is followed by very ordinary black
and-tan dog, to which he seems to be
much attached. Gen. Grant has no
more enthusiastic admirer than his
brother, though, strange to say, that, in
speaking of the General, Orville always
mentions him as the General, and not
as his brother. Orville has stumbling,
istless gait in walking that has given
rise to the mistake that he is intoxicat-
ed. This is far from being true, for in
late years he has not drank liquor at
all.-WdshiRgtOfl Star.

All Dead,

Six months ago a colored man living
on Indiana street gave white man liv-
ing on Third street his note of hand for
$40, due in six months. A white man
living on Beaubien street Endorsed it,
and the holder soon sold it to man
living on Twenty-fourth street. The
note fell due last Saturday, and was in
the hands of widow, whose husband
died four weeks ago. In tracing up the
note it was found that the maker, the
indorser, and the two men who had
held it were all dead, though every one
was in good health when the note was
made. Learning of this state OF affairs,
the widow made no effort to collect pay
ment, but tore the note in pieces, fear
full that some bad luck might come to
her.-DetrOit Free Press.

The French have claimed that ma
jority of the population of Alsace and
Lorraine-conquered by the Germans
speak the French language but this
proves to be untrue. "Recent official
inquiries show that Alsace-Lorraine
confirms 1,272,O00 civilians who speak
German, and 259, 900 who speak French
In 1866 the French Government found
that of 1,026 conscripts in the Wissem-
bourg district 472 were entirely igro-
ant of French, the whole Lower Rhine
presenting about the same proportion,
whereas in the Upper Rhine the result
was more favorable for French, but in
German Lorraine 80 per cent. were I'M
acquainted with that language, al
though it had been taught in the
schools since 1880"

Interrupted BY an Owl.

A Baltimore paper says that an anus
ing incident occurred at Rockville, Md,
the other day, during the session of the
Presbytery of Maryland at that place.
While one of the ministers was speak
ing there was great futtering heard
in one of the large stoves in the church.
An examination revealed the fact that it
contained large owl, which had come
down the chimney. The stove door was
opened, and the owl was let loose in the
church. After flying around awhile,
the owl was forced out of one of the
windows, and quiet reigned.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1879.

The London Metropolitan Early
Closing Association has issued cir
cular in which it states that "there are
still about 10000 shops in London and
the suburbs, employing more than
100000 assistants, who work for thir-
teen, fourteen and fifteen hours a day,
and even longer on Saturdays. Many
of the assistants are young women, who
suffer grievously from being obliged to
stand during these long hours of labor.

Mimetic CRYSTALS.

Let any one examine the delicate,
fimbriated petals of the purest white
belonging to that dainty little blossom
of our Northern woods, Miletta nuda,
and he shall see the ful6llment of a
prophecy made in the depth of winter
by a snowflake, which in the symmetry
of its six compound crystals exactly
prefgures it.
Nature indeed, in the great variety
of the six-rayed star spangles OF the
snow, seems to find patterns for many
such flowers of endogens as when ex-
banded are fat and radiate. The min
eral kingdom shows at least a prefigure-
ment of life and living forms. Crystal

THE advance in the prices of grain
and provisions this fall has been so
marked that farmers who have been
fortunate enough to delay the sale of
their products will receive a rich return
when they do 60 to market. Since the
harvest, agriculturists have manifested
great faith in the value of their prop
erty, and, while millions of bushels of
wheat, corn, and other grain have been
disposed of, there are yet many millions
back, for which it is evident high prices
will be paid before the holidays. The
Chicago Times has compiled an esti-
mate of the benefits derived by the ag.
riculturists from the appreciation OF
grain here referred to. The States OF
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, only
are included in the calculation, from
which it appears that farmers will real
ize about 20 per cent. more from theil
crops under the figures now offered
than they would if they had sold before
the extraordinary rise occurred. BY
approximating the amount of grain no

An English newspaper, the Liverpool
Daily Ne,cs, has for year past used
four type setting and seven distribut-
ing machines, mt saving of $4,000 per
annum, as compared with the same
amount of work by hand. The com
positors working the machine earn bet
ter wages than their fellows at the case,
while the saving TO the establishment is
over 30 per cent The machines are
used for every kind of composition ex-
cept tabulatei and display work, the

IT is said that President Hayes, in
his forthcoming message to Congress,
will recommend that Alaska be given a
government similar to those now estab-
lished in the Territories of the United
States. He has been convinced of the
ACCESSIBILITY of this by the report of a
naval officer sent to Sitka for the pur-
pose of investigating the lawlessness
which was represented by the Collector
as prevailing there. This official de-
clares that there can be no safety for
the whites in that distant province unless
they are protected by soldiers or armed
vessels, as, without these, there is no
power to command obedience or respect.
