A Pen Worth Recommending.


 We have been favored with samples of the celebrated Spencerian Double Elastic Steel Pens, and after trying them feel justified ir highly commenting them Jo our reader They are made of the best steel and by -hs ost expert workmea m Europe, sad have & national reputation for certain -aa'e qualities which no other pens seen r9 have attained In so great perfe among which are uni form eycl less ol Foint, durability, fexi- bility, and quill action. IL is thus quite natural that the SpencerIan should be preferred and used by professional penmen in business colleges. counting rooms. government offices, public schools, and largely throughout the country. Indeed, so popular have they become, that of the Number One alone, as many as eight millions are sold annually.
 The SpencerIan Pens may be had, as 8 rule, from any dealer; but when not thus obtainable, the proprietors, Messrs. Ivison Blakeman, Taylor & Co.,, the well-known publishers, l3S & 40 Grand Street, New York, will send for trial, samples of each of the twenty numbers on receipt of twenty five cents.

A FAIR idea may be had ofthe enor-
nous share of business taken by Great
Britain in the CHINA trade by compar-
ing her shipping in the East with our
own. In 1877 the total number Of en-
tries of all kinds into the China ports
was made by Is, 807 vessels, representing
II, 983, sol tons. In 1878 these figures
were augmented as follows: Vessels.
20,92S; tonnage, 10 .446. 1874. Of these,
British shipping was represented by g.
973 vessels with a tonnage of z ,439 373.
Chinese shipping, or vessels of foreign
type, owned and sailed by Chinese,
counting, with the English entrances
and clearances, as 10000, the other
European vessels and those from the
United States make up the remaining
1000. To give better idea of the vast
preponderance Of trade in favor of the
English, the following proportions may
be more readily understood: If 100
trips of all kinds were made, either
cOastwise or across the ocean to China,
In 1878. Great Britain made AZ Is % oil
these trips; Chinese owned ships, home
or foreign built, 80 33 so; German ships,
9 47-1OO; Am erican, 4 33 so; Spanish
ships, 5 17-100, and the insignificant re-
mainder may be apportioned to eight
other nat1onalities. Of course, as it is
tea which forms the most important OBJ
ject of export, Great Britain monopo
Lies rather more than one-half of the
entire tea trade, importing four tim es
more than any other country.

cent; the Austrian, 5 per cent, and
the Hungarian, (which is distinct from
the Austrian), about re per cent. The
standing of the Unlted States bonds
would be between the French and the
German, an exceedingly high position,
when one considers the many attempts
that have been made, in and out of con-
gress, to impair our national credit
But what is singular in the list given
above is the low financial standing ia K
en- by the Austro- Hungarian Empire
The debt of the country Is very much
less than that of Russia, its people are
weather., more enterprising, and have
us fine sense of commercial honor as
the subjects Of the Gar. More than
this, if a comparison is made between
the imports and exports of the two coun-
tries, it is found that Austro- Hungary
mas much the larger trade. 1t is hard
TO say, under these circumstances, why
it is the bonds of one country, the poor
er, are preferred above those of the
wealthier. The only plausible reason
is, that while Austria has often in the
past pleaded poverty as an excuse for
the slow payment of her foreign debt
ors, Russia has made extraordinary eff
forts to secure for them the fulfllment
of every promise. Take the incident
during the war of the Crimea. when a
Russian Government vessel was sert,
under flag of truce to London, having
on board the gold with which to pay in
terest On the Russian bonds held in
England and France. This act was, no
doubt, done to create a sentimental
effect; but whatever the object was, the
result Injured greatly to the advantage
of Russia ani holding to the belief
that public sentiment in Russia is OBJ
posed to Reputation, the money-lend-
ers of Europe are ready to advance
money to the Gar in larger quantities
and at better rates than could be OBJ
tanned by any other ruler in a similarly
straightened condition.

Here are few extracts from "Dor
Quixote:"
Beauty in modest woman is like q
fire or sword at a distance; neither doth
the one burn nor the other wound those
that come not too close to them.
Keep your mouth shut and your eyes
open.
The absent feel and fear every i'll.
Self-praise deprecates.
The dead to the bier, and the living

All women, let them be ever sc
homely, are pleased to hear themselves
celebrated for their beauty.
Squires and knights Grant are sub.
ject to much hunger and i'll luck.
Liberality may be carried too far in
those who have children to inherit from
them.
Virtue is always more prosecuted by
the wicked than beloved by the
righteous.
Every one is the son of his o WI works.
Honey is not for the mouth of an ass
No paddock, bolts or bars, can secure
a maiden so we'll as Der own reserve.
Wit and humor belong to genius
alone.
The wittiest person in comedy is
he who plays the fool.
There is no book so bad but that
something good may be found in it.
We are all as God made US, and oft
entimes a great deal worse.
Let the hen live, though it be with a
pip.
We cannot all be friars, and various
are the paths by which God conducts
the good to Heaven.
Covetousness bursts the bag.
1t is easy to undertake, but more diff

This term is equally applicable to all
ranks: whoever is ignorant is vulgar.

Sir Henry Bessemer's Observatory.
London World.

At the present moment Sir Henry
Bessemer, finding no more development
for his taste for landscape gardening,
has built himself an observatory des-
tined to contain an enormous telescope,
capable of magnifying 5000 times,
worthy rival of the famous tube set up
by Lord Rose. The Bessemer telescope
however, will not be furnished with a
metal speculum, Sir Henry has discov-
cred q method of grinding glass to the
required curvature. Glass has been
successfully employed in the telescope
in the observatory at Paris, and
equally good results are expected from
the giant Of Denmark Hill. The observ-
atory required to contain an instrument
of its enormous magnitude IS in itself
a marvel Of constructive skill, and is
probably the most remarkable edifice
of the kind in the world. Not the dome
only, as at Greenwich and elsewhere,
but the entire upper floor, revolves on
circular railway, by hydraulic power,
subject to the touch of the finger Of the
astronomer, who thus enjoys all the adj
vantage of outdoor observation, COM
bined with the comfort of his own library
Chemistry, mathematics and physics
having in turn helped Sir Henry Bes-
semer to fortune, he has now fallen back
upon astronomy as past1me. His OBJ
servatory, which is constructed in the
most massive manner in order to avoid
vibration, is although approachable from
the house and the long terrace leading
to the lake, so constructed that it can be
entered from the private road probably
with the view of presenting or bequeath-
ing it to some sciel tific society.
