PLEASURE FOR A CHLD.--Douglas Jer
rold wrote thus pleasantly of child-life:
" Blessed be the hand that prepares a
pleasure for a child, for there is no saying
when and where it may again bloom
forth. Does not almost everybody remem.
Der some kind-hearted man who showed
him kindness in the days of his child
hood? The writer of this recollects HIM
self ut this moment, as barefooted lad,
standing at the wooden fence of poor
little garden in his native village, where,
with longing eyes, he gazed on the flow
ers which were blooming there quietly in
the brightness of q Sunday morning
The possessor came forth from his little
cottage; he was a woodcutter by trade.
and spent the whole day at work in the
woods. He was coming into the garden
to gather flowers to stick in his coat when
he went to church. He saw the boy, and
breaking off the most beautiful of his car
nations, which was streaked with red and
white. he gave it to him. Neither the
giver nor the receiver said word, and
with bounding steps the boy ran home.
And now here, at distance from that
home, after so many events of so many
years, the feeling of gratitude which agi-
tated the breast of that boy expresses itself
on paper The carnation has long since
withered, but now it blooms afresh."

Missouri is making an effort to induce
immigration. A committee has been APP
pointed to diffuse information concerning
that state among the people of other states,
with view of creating favorable i'm
preston and increasing Missouri's popu
lation. Agencies are to be established
also in Liverpool, Scotland and Germany.
The gross earning for the first six
months of the current year of railroads.
which last year did about one-ffth of the
railroad business of the country. show an
increase of about per cent over the same
period in 1873, a very much smaller in
crease than sanguine purchasers of rail-
road ste OK are reckoning upon in the gen.
eral railroad business of the country in
1879 as compared with 1873.
Gen. Grant has announced from China
that he will not re-enter the field rs a
presidential candidate. That opens the
way for republican success next year.
As Grant party the republicans could
not succeed AS the republican party,
with good candidate, they have chance.
Now for the democrats. Let Mr.. Tilden
decline also, and then the democrats will
have clear field. The democrats cannot
succeed as mere Tilden party, as Il tail
to the sage of Gramercy Park, as the
supporters of claimant. Let Mr.. Tilden
decline, as General Grant has done, and
then he will enjoy at least the merit of
giving his party IL fair chance next year.
Ithas no chance at all as II Tilden party.

Last year at this time Ohio was held a
doubtful state, and Maine was considered
certain for the republican ticket. Now
the conditions are reversed. Ohio is con.
ceded to the republicans, and Maine is
claimed, even by sanguine men like
Blaine, only by narrow majority. Till
very recently the tide was considered tc
be against the republicans, and an estimate
attributed to Blaine makes the total vote
$4,000, of which Davis, republican, will
have 10000, the greenback ticket $4,000
and the democratic 10000. At present
the campaign is being run on the stall
wart" issue, and the fact that Sherman
ever preached sound finance is being in
dustriously forgotten by republican speak
erS.

A LAND OF MAGNIFICENT DIsTAN-
cEs. The enormous extent of the terri
tory over which the Hudson Bay Company
carries on its trade, and throughout which ,
depots and posts are established, can
scarcely be comprehended Mt merely
cursory glance. From Pembina on the
Red River, to Fort Anderson, on the
Mackenzie, is as great distance as from
London to Mecca; the space between the
company's post at Sault Ste. Marie and
Fort Simpson measure more than $500 geo
graphical miles; from the Kings Posts TO
the Pelly Banks is farther than from Paris
10 Samarcand. The area of country under
its immediate influence is about 100000
square miles, or more than one-third
greater than the whole extent of Europe.
For purposes of trade the original char
tered territories of the company, and the
vast outlaying circuit of commercial rela-
tions, are divided into sections called the
Northern, Southern, Montreal and Western
departments. of these, the northern de-
partment is situated between Hudson Bay
and the Rocky Mountains; the southern
between James Bay and Canada, includ-
ing also East Main, on the eastern shore
of Hudson Bay; the Montreal department
comprehends the extent of the business in
| the Canadas; while the western comprises
the regions west of the Rocky Mountains.
These four departments are again divided
into fifty-three smaller portions, called
districts, each of which is under the direc-
| ton of experimenting officer, and has
depot fort, to which all the supplies for
the district are forwarded, and to which
all furs and other produce are sent for
shipment to England. These districts are
again subdivided into numerous minor
establishments, forts, posts and outposts
Over each of these there is an officer and
from two to forty men, mechanics, laborers
and servants. Besides the company en-
ploy multitudes of men as voyageurs, man
ming and working the boats and canoes in
every part of the territory. The discipline
and etiquette maintained are of the strict.
est kind, and an esprit du corps exists be-
tween the three thousand officers COM
missioned and on-commissioned--voya
geurs and servants, such as is only to be
found in the army, or in ancient and hon.
orable service.
The forts and trading posts of the COM
pany are scattered over its immense ter
ritories at distances apart varying from
fifty to three hundred miles. A better
idea may, perhaps, be obtained of their
relative positions, and of the isolated lives
of their garrisons, by imagining the broad
state of Ohio planted in the middle of the
fur country. In that event the company
would build one trading post in it,
Harper'S for June.

Central Vermont Council Patrons of
Husbandry will hold their next quarterly
meeting at Roxbury, Tuesday. August
26th, to commence at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
The formation of Pomona grange will
occupy the attention of the patrons. as
nearly every grange in the county has
decided in favor of forming a Pomona
grange.
The forenoon session will be private and
the afternoon session public, and the fol-
lowing questions discussed: Ought Yer
mont farmers to buy or raise their corn?"
The question, Resolued, THAT every
patron of husbandry should do all in
his power TO bring about more just
equalization of taxation which shall result
in justice to all classes" was discussed
very sharply at the last session. but owing
to the lateness of the hour in holding the
afternoon meeting is to be discussed again
next Tuesday afternoon.
At the last session of the Vermont state
grange, the following preamble and reso-
luton was passed: WHEREAS, The I'M
equal taxation of real estate and other
property is detrimental to the advance
ment of agriculture; and, WHEREAS, 1t is
unjust that property should be twice tax
ed; therefore, RESOLVED, That we use our
influence towards changing the statute law
which levies tax on a mortgage and the
real estate which it covers" This much
discussed, vexing question will be the
basis far the arguments next Tuesday, and
will occupy the attention of both patrons
and others the coming winter.
The public are invited to attend and take
part in the afternoon exercises. Remem-
Der to come by 1880 O'Clock P. NJ. to
attend the afternoon session. A very full
attendance Of patrons is expected,

The testimony in Newman Halls d.
vorce case shows that he was grievously
wronged by the wife to whom he had
been married for thirty-three years. The
judges charge was point by point in his
favor, and the verdict indicates that the
jury put no faith in the unsupported accu-
sation made by Mrs. Hall of her husbands
infdelity. His own testimony, however,
showed that after long delays he had
brought his suit for divorce In order to
contract another union, the first step
toward which he had already taken, and
the evidence presented on both sides
evinced the same neglect of The usual
conventions which regulate the social rela-
tions of self.respecting men and women
which was so painful feature of the
