Easy Goes What EasH Comes.

A New York correspondent writes
Enormous fortunes have been made
in New York during the last few months
in the stock market. There are reports
of one gentleman who has cleared $780,
600 by his speculatiOns, and another who
pocketed a cool $3.50, 900, of Judge who
has made $50, 900, and of many others
who have been extremely fortunate in
their Operations. But it is not in stocks
alone that money has been rapidly made.
Almost every variety of property has
gone up in value, SO that every ybody
feels richer than he was before, and con-
sequently happier. But it is n sad fact
that as wealth has been gained, so has
extravaganza increased, and in a ratio
out of all proportion in most cases to
the money made. Young New York
brokers, who year ago had hard work
to meet the honest demalsds of land
ladies, shoemakers, tailors, washer
women and the like, now indulge in the
most profuse expenditures. They live
in luxurious apartments, dress in Eng
lish clothes, dine on the best in the land,
drink the most costly wines and smoke
the most expensive cigars. Quite
number of new equipages, dog carts, L
carts and coupes have been started on
the strength of successful downtown
speculations, Some are based on stocks,
some on grain, some on pig tin, some on
lead, some on real estate, ETC., but they
all represent the general advance in
values. New houses and apartments
are being expensiVely furnished. Fash
ionable tailors, dressmakers and
milliners never were so busy. One
Fifth avenue tailor boasts of having
made ll9. dress suits for the regular
clientele since the opening of the season.
1t is a notable fact that in all matters
pertaining to dress, both men and
women, among the well-to-do and mod
erately well-to do classes, now choose
the most expensive articles. Economy
is no longer the order of the day.
One OF these days thereaction will come,
and then the lesson which the people
ought to have learned by heart during
the panic will have to be taught them
again. 1t is remarkable hoNnlittle
sense the best of us have just as sObR as
we grow rich.

A Learned Poodle.

Once an expert in Paris, finding it was
impossible to convince people that he
was right and tie public were wrong,
taught poodle to determine what was
n true antique coin, and what was bogus.
A dealer would bring coins for sale.
Their false character would be stated at
once, but when the sellers were disputa-
tive the expert would say, my poodle
can tell you without the least trouble
which coin or coins are false" The
poodle would be introduced. The
money would be placed on the table,
the good with the bad, and after nOsing
them for an instant, the dog would
knock off the table with his paw all the
bad pieces. Of course this trait of canine
sagacity was convincing. The mans
knowledge was but secondary with that
of the dog. and the party with the false
coins would go away perfectly satisfied.
The fame of the dog extended over
many countries. There was even the
possibility that the poodle would be
elected an honorary member of several
learned societies. People would come
with coins, asking for the expert. and
when he was absent would say: "Well,
if the master is out, pray let the dog
look at them. We will be quite satisfied
with his judgment" The Tick was
quite simple. The numismatist took
care to handle the bad coins and not to
touch the authentic pieces. The dogs
fine sense of smell at once distinguished
the pieces his masters fingers touched,
and he unhesitatingly separated the bad
coins from the good ones.

A Governors Bride.


One of the editors Of the Pawtucket
Chronicle has been roaming in and
around Portsmouth, N. H., and of
course visited the old Governor Benning
Wentworth mansion, and heard the at
tendant, among other things, say:
There is the fireplace before which
Martha Hilton stood when she was
married to Governor Wentworth, -
which leads him to remark: We stand
before the fireplace and see that it is
covered by q fire-board and screen, and
then are reminded of story which we
will relate: The marriage of the some
what aged governor recalled among
some of the citizens of Portsmouth an
incident which hard occurred a few years
before. There was boarding-house on
the ancient Pitt street, and one day the
matron of it saw careless, laughing,
barefoot girl passing before her door.
carrying a pail of water, and wearing
a dress that but scantily covered her
form. She knew her, and cried out to
her, You Pat! you Pat! Why do you
go looking SOP You should be ashamed
to be seen in the street. " No matter how
/ look" was the pert reply; "where
these rags are / shall wear lace, and ride
in my chariot yet" Years had rolled
ON meanwhile. The governor had lost
his first wife and his three sons, and
was left widowed and childless. After
having vainly striven to deprive another
husband of his wife, he turns his glances
to a young maiden who is doing work
in his kitchen and keeping his house in
satisfactory order. On certain day,
therefore, the governor invites q party
to dinner at his mansion, and among
the rest of his guests comes, wearing his
cooked hat, Rev. Arthur Brown. of the
Episcopal church. Dinner is served
with the profusion and variety that be-
fit a governors table. The guests hav-
ing been satisfied with their repast,
the governor quietly whispers to mes
senger, and soon, from the door in
which we ent red, Martha Hilton, the
independent miss whose scanty garb
had provoked the criticism above men,
toned, comes blushing and takes her
stand in front of the fireplace. She
seems regardless of the fire; does not
appear to have any particular business
there; she waits, and no guest has di-
yined for what object she has come. She

stands confounded, but the bridegroom
rouses him from his bewilderment by
the imperious mandate: "As the gov
ernor of New Hampshire / command

now, and from this hour Martha Hilton
becomes Lady Wentworth! Tradition

became her husband.

Turning Grnr.

lito's sands are running last away;
= The buoyGnt step OF youth is gone;
The ialling hair is turning gray;
And time seems now to hurry on
More noetly than in days OF yore-
Before the heart became its prey
Before twas saddcned TO the core
Before the hair was quite so gray.
Yes, turning gray! Age comes like snow,
AS stilll and carves each careworn line;
Its wrinkles on tho brow will grow;
The hair with silver streaks will shine;
The eyes their brightness lose; the hand
Grow dry ana tremulous and thin
For lite, alas! is quickly spanned,
And death its gates soon cl oses in.
Ah, turning grayl We iain would hide
The sign how long with time we've been
Those deepened wrinkles, side by side,
Cut by tho sorrows we ave seen;
50 fceblei beats the heart as years
More quickly cluster on our head;
And autumn rain-drops hang like tears
On some fair flower that's nearly dead
Like perished petals from The flower,
Our hopes and widest joys are lsid-
Burn only for day or hour
Sweet gambols by the fancy played.
As age comes on we long for rest
AS saints near shrines will long to pray;
But still we love that time the best
Before the hair is turniAg gray.

The Diseases of Wild Animals.

W lille first surgeon of the Thirty-frst
regiment of the line, then stationed at
Alabera, in Algeria, l dissected the
carcasses OF about fifty lions. The lungs
of twenty of them was affected; one
halt of them were almost gone, showing
that consumption is prevalent among
the lions of the Sahara and the Sahel.
At the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris,
seven lions have died since 1869. All OF
them " ere born there. | dissected them.
and found that their lungs were entirely
healthy. To what was the difference
dueP They received their food regularly,
and were carefully protected from in
clement weather, while the lions in
Africa had to go without food for days,
had TO inhale the sandy air of the desert,
and were frequently drenched by terri
bic rains.
There is at the Jardin des Plantes, a
wolf from the Ardennes. He was caught
when about six years old. He was suf-
fering from cough, and at one time we
thought he was dying. He hawked and
spat. and was always sullen and morose.
Often he abstained from food for several
days. At last we chloroformed him,
and examined his throat. He was found
to be suffering from nasal catarrh in its
medical treatment he recovered rapidly.
Nine wolves born at the Jardin never
showed the slightest sign of disease.
M. Jacquemart, the famous Indian
hunter, often told me that he had seen
tigers splitting blood, which exhausted
them so that they could be approached
within few feet with impunity.
All monkeys are very delicate ami
mails. They are not gluttonous, and
having so much exercise, they are rarely
afflicted with diseases of the bowels.
But they have weak lungs, and the rea-
son why so many of the most interesting
among them die when brought to
Europe, is the too sudden change of air,
diet, and water. There is no more in
telligent monkey than the chimpanzee,
a truly wonderful animal. While in
Berlin, dined at the Geological Gardens
by the side of pet chimpanzee. He
partook of every dish like a human be-
ing, put sugar into his teacup, stirred
it with a spoon. and drank the beverage
with evident relish. But his eyes
looked supernaturally bright fell
his pulse. 1t was 1876. "He will not
live long" said to his keeper.
why nUt?" he asked, with a sorrow.

He is a consumptive, l replied.
Indeed! He often coughs"
The chimpanzee died a month later
His left lung was entirely gone.-PrQf

How Far Can We Hear with the Tele
phone

This is a question frequently asked,
but we believe has not yet been def
nitely settled. The longest distance
that we have mentioned is given in tine
item below, namely, two thousand
miles. But perhaps Mr.. Edison has had
more extended experiences. If so we
should be glad if he would let our read
ers know.

A. Packer, superintendent of the Penn

friends at Ssyre Pa, his brother at
Mauch Chunk, Pa, and his friends
along the line. The medium was the

Office in Bethlehem, Pa connection was
made with the Easton and AmbOy wire,

4 Shallow.

What lack the valleys AMI the mountains
That once were green and gny'
What lack the babbling fountains?
Their voice is sad to-day.
Only the sound of voice
Tender and sweet and low,
A year ago!
What lack the tender flowers?
A shadow Is on the sun.
What lack the merry hours,
That long that they were done?
Only two smiling eyes
That told of Joy and inirth;
They are shining in the skies;
/ mourn on earth.
What lacks my heart that mates it
So weary and full of pain,
That trembling hope torsakes it,
Never to come again
Only another heart,
Tender and all my own;
In the still grave it lies
