This organization IN Decatur is composed OF
young women who move in high social circles
and who possess good heads and good hearts.
We therefore predict for them an influence
among the young people generally. both widely
extensive and beneficent.
The large tract OF oak timber lying west OF
the village on Delaware street is beinglcleared
of this winter. James Potts has bought the
timber and is having it chopped into four-soot
wood and ties. He Is giving employment to

There is ground for hope that we are not to
lose the woodenware factory after all. There
is . prospect that the firm Of Dagsett Il Percy
will continue 10 run the concern in conjunction
with their Muskegon establishment, with larry
Forth ss manager. We hope FOR the sake Of
Decatur that the repot: is true.
The Decatur Dramatic Club were compelled
to put up stage OF their own al their own ex-

play OF ncle Tom 3 Cabin. There is no doubt
but that stage OF proper Dimensions butt on

provement 10 The hall and make il much more
available. Many travelling dramatic and con-
cert troupes are compelled 70 pass the town,
because the old stage is too small for their
purposes. Two years ago last spring, vote
was taken at town mseting, ard passed almost
unanimously 20 erect a new and permanent
stage on the north end OF the hall but for
some reason, not generally gwen to the public.
the Town Board did not build it. \ stsge, or
rostrum, should always be on the opposite end
OF hall from the entrance, and in this case
it has become necessity. as the old stage is
now almost untenable.
The Town Treasurer has nearly il no, quite

Washington Market.

Those who expect dignity or neatness
or convenience in a great market would
be prodigiously shocked by survey Of
the most famous institution of the kind
in America Washington market is
merely collection Of old sheds. such as
would hardly be tolerated in decent
village. This clumsy concern, which
includes dealers in meat, butter and fish,
covers an acre, and then crossing the
narrow street you reach the country
market, two acres in extent, where busl-
ness is chiefly wholesale. In this spot
10000 baskets of peaches have been sold
in day, and other produce moves at q
proportionatc rate. However great may
be the traffic the buildings are Of the
shanty style, each having loft IN which
the market men lodge in order to be
ready for the early trade. They crawl
up to their beds a. six o'clock and rise at
one o'clock, when the days work be-
gins. Five o'clock in the morning brings
the height of the traffic, which con-
tinues until near noon. During this
period the whole neighborhood is
blocked with grocers' wagons, and the
"jam" is one of the most annoying and
vexatious character. They become ac-
customed to it, however, and use is
second nature. Two thousand grocers
visit Washington market daily, and in
addition are buyers from different cities
which depend on this great center for
their supplies. Washington market is a
world in itself, or rather it is an empire
OF trafic.-Mes1 York Letter.

A Millionaire Criminal.

Not every criminal who incurs the
penalty of Punishment to Siberia is on
that account to be compassionated, if we
may believe MIR. Juch anzeff's sojourn in
exile, recently published by St. Peters
burg journal. This eminent malefactor,
known throughout Russia by the signifi-
can't sobriquet of "The Stealer of Mil
lions," has contrived to retain possession
of the enormous fortune he acquired by
high-class swindling. When condemned
to deportation, he Travelled to Krasno-
jarsk, the town selected for his penal
residence by the imperial authorities, in
princely style. ATTENDED by a suite OF
servants, carriages and horses, and it
would appear that he is to become the
leader of fashion in that Siberian city
Tailors, perfumers and tobaccOnists ad-
vertise their wares under his name; he
has been elected member OF the lead
ing club, and is about to contract an al.
lance with young lady belonging to
one of the first families of Krasnojarsk.
His dinner parties are attended by the
chief official personages and local nota-
ilities; ladies of the best society flock
to his evening receptions, and accept the
splendid presents with which he Judi
ciously courts their favor and social
countenance. 1t is proposed by COM
mittee of Krasnojarsk BONES" to pre-
sent him, upon his wedding day, with a
wreath of laurel oak leaves and roses.
Altogether, for convicted misdemean-
ant. undergoing sentence of Punishment.
he appears to be leading an uncommonly
pleasant life. Not so the thousands of
his dupes, who, having trusted their for
tunes to This keeping, suffered total ruin
at his hands.

Habits,

Habit constantly strengthens all our
active exertions. Whatever we do often,
we become more and more apt TO do.
A snuff-taker begins with pinch Of
snuff per day, and lends with pound or
two every month. Swearing begins in
anger; il ends by smingling itself with
ordinary conversation. Such like in
stances are Of too common notoriety to
need that they be adduced; but rs / ..be-
fore observed, at the very time that the
tendency to do the thing is every day
increasing, the pleasure resulting from
it is, by the blunted sensibility of the
bodily organ, diminished, and the desire
is irresistible, though the qualification
is nothing. There is rather an enter
tanning example of this in FieIding's
''Life of Jonathan Wild" in that scene
where he is represented az playing at
cards with the count, professional
gambler ''Such," says Mr.. Fielding,
twas the power of habit over the
minds of these illustrious persons, that
Mr.. Wild could not keep his hands out
of the counts pockets, though he knew
they were empty; nor could the count
abstain from palming card, although
he was well aware that Mr.. Wild had
no money to pay him."

A resident of ST. Thomas is the pos
SCISSOR of a dog which has some remark
able instincts. On Sunday his peculiar
tiles and sectarian sentiments come out.
Unlike the crow, ne can count. He
knows when Sunday comes. He is not
the same dog az on other days. He in
dulges in no pastimes, encourages no
company, and says, in actions louder
than words: "Six days shalt thou play
and do all thy sport" The family are
Presbyterians, but the dog is a Metho-
dist. On Sunday he attends the family
to the Presbyterian house of worship.
and then wneds his solitary and I'M
broken way to his own church. He has
a particular place upstairs, when he can
manage to elude the vigilance of the
ushers and obtain ingress, and he pays
dogmatical attention to the word of doc
trine while at service.-Ioronto (Caa,-
