unfhendly to the nomination Of Grant.
They derive fresh significance now from
The fact that they are printed by journal
which for a year has been preparing for
the denomination Of the ex.PTesident,
which has done much 10 help along the
third.term movement, and which Is uni.
yersally regarded as the most influential
Grant newspaper in the Union.
II must be admitted that such an ex-
preston Of doubt and weakness from such
source implies very decided opinions in
other quarters as TO the inexpedience Of
nominating Grant. As matter OF iact
nothing is better established than that
there Is widespread and strong Republi'
can opposition to Grant. German voters
share Il, but 1t Is by no means confined tc
them. The objections sre as broad as the
opposition. They are founded not merely
upon vague hostility TO CGsarism,
fearful looking for the imminent empire
or upon reluctance TO violate the prece
dent Of a two.term limit in the case OF any
man whatever, but also upon specific
charges Of the unfitness OF the parttcula
man whose nomination isproposed.

TnE efforts Of the State Of Maryland to
increase her fishery products have been
heretofore OF the most laudablO character,
and she may be said, through tho zeal and
skill Of one Of her Commissioners, to have
achieved most wonderful success. Once,
Maryland, with her fine bay and numer'
Gus streams, was the great Rshing.ground
Of the country. From her peculiar situa'
ton, she incloses within herself the fish
nursery of q vast sytem Of rivers which
pass through other States. In time, from
everlasting, these streams became depop'
ulated, aud it is only owing to diligent
sytematic fish.culture that now fish have
been found in the rivers where, ten year,
ago, there were no fish at all. Any system
Of fish.culture must be continuous. Re
suits are not apparent the year after; II
takes longer TO harvest fish than when
seed is planted in the ground. Then
again, as population augments and will
it there is additional want of food, unless
artificial propagation Of fish is carried on,
tho natural supply is hardly commensu
rate with the increasing demand.

we cannot exercise personal, saving,
comforting trust in God while we are
acting contrary to His will. We must
know that our purposes and life are in
harmony with the will of God in order
to derive any strength or comfort from
our confidence in Him.
For, availing trust in God is practical
as well as theoretical. 1t always i'm
plies obedience to Gods command
ments, submission to His will, and con-
secration to His service. 1t is such
trust as rests with certainty on Gods
help and care, because it lives in us
throughout our daily life, and influences
all our thoughts and words and acts.
1t is such trust as the little child has
in its parents the soul to cast
all his care upon God and realize that
'sHe careth for u.s." and does, accord
ing to His promise, make all things
work together for good to them that
love Him. Some one has said, Heaven
lies about us in our infancy" Itwould
be very near to us always, even in our
hearts, if we would always trust as i'm
plicitly as little children do. BLESSED

Self-Wrecked.

THERE are human wrecks, as well as
human footprints, "on the sands of
time;" and there is no sadder or more
eloquent warning than the sight of a
total wreck of young man-lying for
ever beyond hope.
In "baccalaureaten sermon praach-
ed last summer to the students ora
Western college, Rev. L. B. Bell, of
Kansas City, Mo-, related the following
facts, from painful recollection of his
own university days; and darker ex-
ample of the swift and fatal peril of
dissipation and deceit was never given.
In the institution of which Mr.. B.
was member one of the brightest and
most promising students was a young
man from far distant State, of sur
passing talents and fascinating person
and manners, and known in this story
as Wingate. This young man was
child of affiuence, reared in a Christian
home, and blessed with every advantage
of pure instruction.; but absence from
the watching eyes of love, and fatter-
ing sense of new freedom and self-di-
rection, proved too much for his better
principles. The partiality and admira-
ton of his fellow-students drew him
into convivial habits. He was leader
as well as favorite, and he grew dar-
ing in every dangerous social indul-
gence. His genius that wasted itself in
SHINING made him expert, too, in con-
cealing sin. The letters he wrote home
were patterns of finished falsehood, and
though he continued to grow worse he
so far diverted the college authorities
and kept within rules that no warning
of the way he was living ever reached
his parents.
Whom at last his father made the long
journey to see him graduate, and hear
his Commencement GRAFTON, it was with
the full belief that the loved and tai
ented son was still an honor to him.
Wingate did not receive the notice of
this intended visit until his father was
on the way. The thought of his COM
ing filled him with terror He had
been deceiving his father tor more than
three years, and now exposure was in
evitable. He had 10 Commencement
part, for though quick scholar and
the finest speaker in his class, his course
had deprived him of every honorable
appointment. His debts were enor-
nous, and he would be forced to con-
fess them. Wingate dwelt upon all this
until it nearly crazed him. When the
hour came for the arrival of the train
that would bring his father, instead of
going to meet him at the depot, he shut
himself up, in the agony of remorse and
cowardly fear. The eager father in
quired the way to the room of his son,
climbed the stairs, and opened the
door, burning to embrace him. He
staggered back, stood still moment,
and sank on the floor in swoon. He
had stumbled over his sons dead body.
The unhappy young man, in his distrac-
ton, had sent abullet through his brain,
and he lay weltering in his blood

A Queer Trade.

FRANCE, always fertile in discovering
new professions for her children, has
just invented new occupation. A man
goes about the streets of Paris bearing a
small tray covered with green cloth. On
this tray are pack of cards, a set of
dominoes and dice-box. With this
stock-in-tra the man, who styles him
self "L'Amateur," goes to the houses
of invalids or idle persons, and for a
small fee plays with them at any of the
games which can be managed with such
properties as cards, dice and dominoes.
1t is said that the "amateur makes a
very comfortable living by this discovery
of want in the social organization of
Paris. Undoubtedly this amateur card
player is much more likely to be in de-
mand than the semi-mythological Qua
torzieme, who was supposed at one time
to earn livelihood in Paris by attend
ing dinner parties, where, through some
mistake, the number of guests was the
fatal thirteen. This number fourteen
was expected to entertain the company
with brilliant conversation, and was said
to receive large fee for his services.
But the persons giving dinners who so
far defy the laws laid down by Brillat-
Savarin as to be in any danger of find
ing themselves at the eleventh hour with
thirteen at table are comparatively few,
and there must have been seasons when
the Quatorzieme had but dull time of
lt.-London Times.

A Mexican Market.

THE market furnishes an abundance
of eggs, chickens, cheese and milk. Fish
can most always be had, being brought
from the Santiago River, twenty miles
distant. A nice chicken can be bought
for real and medic Us 3-4 cents),
and dozen of eggs for the same. The
cheese mostly used is called panda, and
comes in the form of small cakes, is
white and soft, and eaten when freshly
made. Milk is brought into to town on
the backs of animals, and is plenty and
cheap. There IS belief that it is dam
gerous to drink it in any quantity and
clear; that if glass of it be drank, and
the person becomes excited or angry,
the chemical affinities of the milk and
blood are such that poison is produced
that creates immediate death. Flour
sells for II cents per pound. The amount
used is considerable, notwithstanding
that tortillas, or corn-cakes, are ne
cessity in every family. The bread and
cakes are all furnished by the baker.
The bread is made in the form of rolls,
which are sold at four cents each. OF
the sweet bread, there is a great variety,
and each family, in purchasing, pro-
cures the assortment. 1t is made into
small cakes of different shapes, and sold
at from one to three cents each.
The entire ignorance of the value and
use of stoves of course necessitates a
simplicity in the art of cooking, and the
excellence of the production of the CO.
cinera is very remarkable, when this is
considered. There is not stove in use
in Topic. The original antique furnace,
that has been in use from the time of the
Spaniards, is still cherished as superior
to any modern innovation. 1t is simply
of brick, of convenient height, with an
opening on top to contain charcoal,
which is the only fuel used, and on top
of which the cooking utensil is placed.
An opening underneath furnishes draft.
All the cooking utensils are made by the
Indians from clay. They are all glazed;
some ornamented with colors, and are
cheap but frail. They are of all sizes,
from spoonful up to ten gallons. They
are brought into the towns on the backs
of Indians and donkeys, packed in
crates, and are offered for sale about the
Plaza on Sunday. This is an important
industry, as all families must use more
or less, and the constant breakage Great
ing continual demand.-Cor. Alta
