amounted to the snug sum of S35, ,0OO,-
900, and still the glittering mountain
grows and grows as steadily as the
mint grinds and grinds. 1t may be
lack of education and it may be lack OF
delicacy of feeling, but the people do
not banker after the dollars of the faith
ers.
HUsELroN's cheap goods will wear
AN exchange gives the following as
a cheap and true barometer Put a
small quantity of fine pulverized alum
| in long half-ounce vial and gill it up
with spirits of wine When the weather
is drv and clear the spirits will be
as clear as crystal, but on the approach
of rain or bad weather the alum will
rise in the centre in the form of spiral
cloud, which is an infallible indication
of bad weather

THE meanest of all thieves are re-
ported from Cardington, o., who on
the night of the 3Oth ult., killed and
pelted thirty-seven sheep for Mr.. Rodg-
ers, a farmer residing a few miles east
of that place, ten blooded Spanish
merinos for John Orr, and several
other small lots, aggregating nearly
| one hundred. The Merinos were
worth $50 each. The entire loss of
this work is estimated at 5000.

EVEN in the Tombs, among the

clutches, the Rev. Mr.. Cowley, of
New York, finds himself Pariah.
Vulgar criminals who can barely write
their own names shrink with loathing
from the learned clergyman who is
accused of starving and torturing help
less little children. 1t is one OF the
cases in which the touch of nature
makes philanthropists and sneak
thieves kin.

FoUR robbers recently obtained ad-
mittance to house in the village of
Williamsport, Allegheny county, and
sought refuge under a bed in one of
the rooms. When the lady of the
house retired for the night, the villains,
whose faces were blackened, seized
and bound her hand and foot and then
tied her to the bed-post, where they
left her while they proceeded to ran
sack the house. The Williams offered
no indignity to the woman, but left
her tied to the bed-post, where she
was found some time after the thieves
had decdmped.

AN appallingly large number of pre-
mature interments undoubtedly take
place, as has been several times shown
by carefully-collated statistics. The in
stance of the smallpox patient who
came near being buried alive at Ottawa
last Wednesday is not exceptional
Cases of suspended animation are re-
corded which baffled all the appliances
of medical skill to detect the lingering
presence of life in the apparent corpse.
The Ottawa case suggests anew the
importance of employing every known
precaution against the possibility of a
fate 80 fraught with horror.

INSTEAD of from FIVE to six millions,
as was anticipated a few days ago,
the public debt during the month OF
January just passed was reduced by
the enormous sum of over 81 900, 900.
This is the largest reduction during
any month for seven years, and is an
other evidence of Secretary Sherman's
great genius as far-seeing and care
full fnanceer 1t has been the ambi-
ton of Secretary Sherman to bring the
public debt during his administration
below $4,000, 900, 900, and as it is now.
50, 900, TAO, ,240 he will easily be able
to accomplish his object with wide
margin to spare during the present
month.

AFTER all, the noses of their royal
highnesses, the sons of the Prince of
| Wales, have not been tattooed, and
they will not therefore have to be cut
off and replaced by artificial ones to
make the voting gentlemen presenta-
BILE in civilized society. The London
Morning Post explodes the ridiculous
fabrication which has been the occa-
sion of so much writing, editorial
and otherwise, in this country especi-
ally. The youngsters had too much
sense to do any such thing. The
case calls to mind the old-time stanza
''Says Aaron to Moses:
Let us cut off our noses.'
Says Moses to Aaron:
| Its the fashion to wear .em'"
