Two Against Thirty.

The following particulars of how the
brave young Americans-George Green,
of Texas, and Frank Seuter, of Maine
fought, whipped, and put to flight
thirty Mexican brigands, reads more like
the invention of some fiction writer
than an. actual, authenticated occur
renee. The account is furnished by
young Seuter to a Portland paper:
ave left Guanajuato at o'clock a.
m. The weather was biting cold, but,
as usual, we took our seats on the top
of the coach, with revolvers and cart
ridges about us and Winchester carbines
on our knees. After riding about three
hours, and just at light, we heard a
rush of horses at our side and shot
fired over our heads with an order to
get down and surrender. We answered
the summons with two shots into the
crowd, and the man in front of Georges
rifle fell, and his companions started
for the leading mules to stop them and
tangle them up, but, when twenty yards
from me, l rolled him from his horse
and did not see him move limb after.
ward. We then turned to see thirty
well -armed-and-mounted Mexicans fol-
lowing and firing. We put in quick
shooting, and soon drove them back
seventy yards or more. They then
tried to circle us, but, as we turned our
attention to the head men, they all
broke and collected in bunch. We
then had our coats off, and placed in
front of us, with 100 rounds between
us, and we ordered the coach to be
stopped, and began our fine work at
sharp-shocting. This seemed to make
them wild, and, with a yell like Co
manche Indians, twenty or thirty of
them came down on us at full speed,
firing all the way, and wilder sight
never care to see. 1t was no use to
give up then, as they would have cut
us to pieces if we had surrendered; so
we met them in solid style, showing
what Winchester rifle was good for,
and, as luck would have it, after firing
sixty-fve shots, we drove them back at
full speed. One fellow, whose horse
shot from under him, jumped behind
the dead animal and deliberately emp
tied four shells at me over the saddle
and lodged, under the horse, two of my
shots, but my third took his wind.
In the affray George was shot in the

BE Honorable.

Boys and young men sometimes start
out into life with the idea that ones
success depends on sharpness and CHI
canery. They imagine if man is able
always to "get the best of a bargain"
no matter by what deceit and meanness
he carries his point, that his prosperity
is assured. This is a great mistake.
Enduring prosperity cannot be founded
on cunning and dishonesty. The
tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall
victim, sooner or later, to the infu-
ences which are forever working against
him. His house is built upon the sand,
and its foundation will be certain to
give way. Young people cannot give
these truths too much weight. The
future of that young man is safe who
eschews every shape of double dealing,
and lays the foundation of his career in
the enduring principles of everlasting
truth

A PANAMA correspondent of the
New York World reports that he has
seen copy of the contract between nj.
de Lesseps and M. Bonaparte Wyse,
from whom M. de Lesseps took over
his arrangement with the Columbian
Government. Under this contract NJ.
de Lesseps is to have two years more
in which to organize his company for
constructing the Canal of Chrages. The
capital of the company is limited to
$S0,000,000. nj. Bonaparte Wyse is to
receive 100000 francs on the forma-
ton of the company, and 100000
france more in one months time after
one-half of the capital shall have been
subscribed. He is also to hhve 5,000,-
600 francs more in the stock of the
company. In case of the death of M.
de Lesseps, his son is to succeed to the
enjoyment of all his rights and priyi-
leges under the contracts. The United
States Minister to Colombia severely
criticises this contract. One of the
grounds of his objection is the liability
of the State of Panama to secede at
any time, and so render null the en-
gagements of the Federal Government

Laying Back the Ears.

The expressive gestures which many
animals make with their ears are mat
ters of familiar observation. Nothing
is more significant than the drawing
back and pressure of the ears to the
head, which indicates savage frame of
mind. MI. Darwin, in his recent work
on the means of expression in men and
animals, gives an ingenious explanation
of this movement. He observes that
it is only found in the species which
fight with their teeth. All the carnivo-
IN do this, and all, so far as he has
observed, draw back their ears when
feeling savage. This may be continu-
ally seen with dogs fighting in earnest,
or perhaps fighting in play. Cats,
tigers. leopards and lynxes show the
same popularity. 1t is very noticeable
in horses, and the vicious expression it
gives them is unmistakable. But cat
tie, sheep or goats, though they fight,
never use tier teeth in fighting, and
never draw back their ears when en-.
ragged. The elephant, which fights with
its tusks, does not retract its ears, but,
on the contrary, erects them when
rushing at an enemy. The connection
between biting as a means of warfare
and laying back the ears as a sign of
anger is so uniform, and the exceptions
are so few. that Mr.. Darwin's explana-
ton of the origin OF the habit is highly
probable. He says animals which fight
in this way try to bite each'other's ears,
and, reversely, being conscious that the
ear is a weak point of attack, lay it
back upon the head to keep it out of
the way. This habit, being deepened
into an instinct through many genera
tons, has become so associated with
the feeling attendant upon warfare that
the ears arc depressed even by an
amount of anger too slight to find any
other expression. The opposite move
ment of pricking the ears forward to

How TO Read Books.

Edward Everett Hale wrote New
Years article on how to read books.
He has been investigating Libraries and
he finds that the first volume of series
on history or science is generally pretty
well worn, the second less SO, the third
not so much damaged as the second, the
fourth in better preservation still, and
the last volume generally as good as
new. Mr.. Hale detects in this state of
things a series of good resolutions
broken. Many attempt the course of
study, few are faithful to the end. The
suggestion given in this article is for a
club of say three to take up, for instance,
one of Macaulay's essays. Each is to
read the essay and jot down on a slip
of paper anything that is not under
stood, and these jottings can be COINED
over and discussed at weekly meeting
of the three.

State Agricultural society.

The annual meeting of the Execu-

ural Society was held last week, the
President, VIM. l.. Weber, in the
chair.
George W. Phillips, having reen
elected President for 1880, rendered
his resignation as member of the
Executive Committee. The resigna-
ton was accepted, and 1. Fl. Butterfeld
was elected to fill the vacancy in the
Executive Committee thus created.
The Secretary submitted the follow
ing report of the transactions of the
State Agricultural Society for 1879:
At the close of the official year of
1878 there was reported by the Treas
urer and Finance Committee, as the
balance on hand, $l9,027.91; during
the past year the Treasurer has re-
ceived, as per his report, $33, 419.23;
the total amount being $50, 44714.
The total amount of the premiums
offered by the premium-list of the So
ciety for 1879 was 13,035.50, in the fol-
lowing divisions:

men would not dare engage in such

as Secretary of the Treasury. In &C

The Toronto Globe is troubled in it's
mind. 1t expects the United States
will gobble up little Canada if that
country gains its independence. Thus
saith the Globe: as there any hope
tina. the American nation will respect
our rights when we stand 100000 to
their 5000O,000? Have they ever re-
spccted our rights i'll single instance
upon which there has been dispute ?
Have they not already broken Mt least
one solemn treaty to our prejudice
We say all history proves that Ameri-
cans would extend no more justice to
us than they have extended to their
own Indians or to the Mexicans" This
is q clear case of the wicked fleeing
when no man pursueth 1t is rather
cheeky in an organ to talk of solemn
treaties being broken when it is now in
the enjoyment of its share Of the cash
for the fisheries, which amounted to al
least five times more than the value re-
ceived. The Globe may rest easy. An.
rexation would confer many more
blessings on Canada than it would or
this country. Meanwhile we have nc
great desire for either annexation OF

IN official of the Philadelphia Mint

AN official of the Philadelphia Mint
says hat the demand for cents is SO
great that the orders cannot be promptly
filled. "There are parts of the coun-
try" he adds. where they are as rare as
gold dollars are here. In the South
the cent is almost unknown, the smallest
coin being 5-cent piece. Recently,
however, there has been some demand
for them from merchants in Georgia
and Alabama. In the far West there is
but little call for them. but when one
gets to st. Louis, or east of that point,
then the cent becomes familiar. Where
ever there are 6-cent fares Oh tue
street-cars there is demand from that
city. Now, Louisville seldom, if ever,
calls upon us, while Cincinnati is con-
tinually crying for the 1-cent piece.
New York consumes big lot, and so
do the Eastern States. The 2-cent
piece was good help to us for time,
but none of them have been coined for
ten years, and all that are redeemed are
recoined into 1-cent pieces. Competi-
ton in trade increases the demand for
cents. Whenever retail trade is briskest,
then the cent is needed most"

The campaign that has just closed, and
and closed so auspiciously for the cause of
Republican freedom, will be memorable
one for the ability and power of its argu
ments and the force Of its appeals to the
intelligence and patriotism of the people.
Most Of the speeches have been models Of
oratory and in the enthusiasm OF the
large gatherings that have composed the
audiences the effect has been such as is sell
dom produced The whole country has
been quietly but powerfully enthused 10y
these appeals. The campaign has proved
beyond doubt the marvellous vitality Of
the principles of the Republican party.
Our opponents taunted us with the inabili-
ty to produce any argument beside that of
the "bloody shirt" But how they beied
themselves in the nomination through
Souther votes. A Union General chosen as a
trap to catch the soldier vote, and wash the
"bloody shirt" forever. The Republican
party took them at their offer, and Joined is
sue on the ground chosen by Democracy
itself, and the result is one Of the greatest
Waterloo defeats Of our history. The re-
suit is II rout which these simple souls
hardly dreamed Of Such an outcome from
their well laid plans!-the renewal of the
lease Of power to the natural and fitting
national Republican party. Hereafter
the Democratic party might as well
dsband, as by their continuance as party
they will render service to the Republi-
can party, by furnishing it weak and
easily beaten opposition. That can hardly
be considered sufficient object Of those
hungry hords.
