When the Borrower is Happy.

Your true borrower is never happy
unless he is allowed to bind himself
legally to repay the money, and will
joyfully sign any number of promissory
notes or give you bill of sale on the
rubbish he calls his furniture. You
have my o u" he urges solemnly and
conclusively. Once upon a time a
French Deputy was returned to the
Chambers on the strength of promise
to procure for his native town a bridge,
park. and a grant of public money
wherewith to keep it up. But time
passed, the Assembly was dissolved and
the Deputy had to seek reelection; but
neither bridge nor park nor grant had
been conceded. He knew not what to
say on the subject when he had to face
the electors; but, in moment of happy
inspiration, he spoke thus: "Messieurs
and fellow-citizens, with regard to our
bridge and park, what l said to you
two years ago now repeat in the most
solemn and public manner. A promise
with me is sacred thing; and what l
promised you before | promise you
still" And the peasants said to each
other: See, he is an honest man; we
shall do well to vote for him; what he
says he sticks to; he does not back out
of his promises. Pail Mall Gazette.

Chris. Deans Heroic Act.

One day last week, owing to the mis-
take of a telegraph operator, two freight
trains on the Philadelphia & Erie Rail
road came into collision near Cameron
Mills. Chris. Dean was the engineer
of one of the trains. Both he and his
fireman were fastened beneath the
wreck of their locomotive. Dean was
held by one of his legs, which was
caught by the fire-box of the engine.
His fireman was nearly buried under
pieces of the wreck. When the men
were discovered, Dean had managed to
reach his tool-box, and he was making
every endeavor to extricate the fireman
When he saw the men who had come
to their aid, Dean shouted
"Help poor Jim! Never mind mer'
The fireman was extricated as soon
as possible, in an unconscious condi-
ton. Dean was then taken out. 1t was
then ascertained that during all the
time he had been working to relieve
his fireman, the fire-box had been burn
ing his leg to crisp. 1t was literally
roasted from his knee down, and had
to be amputated. The fireman died,
but it is thought the brave engineer
will recover.-N. Y. Sun.

The United States the Great Newspaper
Country.

Our great progress in journalism is
shown by the fact that in 1775 there
were in the United States less than for
ty newspapers and periodicals, whose
aggregate issue for that year comprised
1,200,0 900 copies; now the united press
publishes over 500 daily newspapers,
more than 1000 weeklies, and about
600 monthly publications; of the dailies
that existed in 1870, about 800, 900, 900
copies were struck off that year; of the
weeklies, about 600,000,000; and of
other serial publications, about 100,-
100000, amounting in all to 1900, 000,-
900 copies. And to sum the matter up
yet more forcibly, it must be stated that
the United States publishes more news
papers, with greater combined circula-
ton, than all the other countries of the
world can together boast of having.
The Oldest paper of uninterrupted pub
LEGATION in this country is the Hartford
CourGat, which has already attained
the hoary age of 116 years. In regard
to its last birthday it plaintively says:
"We believe that, with the already an
nounced death of New Hampshire
paper, recently, at the age of 116, we
are left in condition of absolute iso-
lation. The last of our early contem-
poraries is gone"

The Chinese Theater.

In the north of China every town and
every large village boasts its perma-
nent theater, while the inhabitants of
other villages, too small to be fortu-
nate, find little difficulty in eKtemporiz-
ing theaters of mat and bamboo on any
chance arrival of an itinerant troop of
actors. AS long as the visit of these
wandering players lasts the people of
the district give themselves up to the
enjoyment of the holiday. Early each
morning the roads from all the country
round may be seen crowded with peo-
pie, the poorer ones on foot, and, if in
the north of China, the weather. classes
on mules or carts, all tending to the
one point of attraction; the women CAV
in blue, red or green silks, and the men
in their best and brightest attire. If
we follow this pleasure seeking crowd,
we enter theater built in the form of
parallelogram, at one end of which is
platform, generally, though not al
ways, as wide as the building. This
platform is divided breathwise by q
wooden partition with two entrances,
the front part forming the stage, and
the rear portion serving the purposes of
green-room, property-room, and abode
of the troupe. The body of the theater,
answering to our pit and stalls, is with
out seats or partitions; while above and
encircling the whole are the boxes in
which the women and principal sub
scribers have their places. If the dis
trict should be very poor one the
probability is that we find ourselves op-
posite q covered stage on an open piece
of ground, in front of which the carts
of the visitors, full of their occupants,
are rangedin semi circle, thus forming
the walls of truly Thespian theater.
Within this inclosure stands denselv-
packed, good-natured, eager crowd,
whose power of standing is onlv
equalled by their power of unflagging
enjoyment. No money is taken at the
doors. The troupe is generally hired
either by a private individual or by a
public subscription for certain num-
Der of days, and free admission is
granted to every one. The perform.

late in the evening, with short intervals
between each of the four or five pieces.
The acting, generally speaking, is good
for the Chinese are naturally quick of
observation, and are thus able in everv-
day life to catch easily the tone of those
with whom they associate, and on the
stage to assume the characters thew
wish to represent. The possession of
these faculties is the more important as
the actors get very little guidance from
the play-books, which almost entirely

Cave Man in England.

Prof. Boyd Hawkins, prominent
English geologist, gave recently a lecture
in London on "The Man of the Cav
erns," in the course of which he drew
vivid picture of Southern England in
prehistoric times. While the river drift
men and the cave men were living in
Britain, the hills and valleys in the
South of England, be said, presented
the same outlines as they did now.
Could we take our stand in those times
on Shooters Hill or on the Essex
Heights, and look over the Thames
Valley in the direction of London, we
should see dense forest of oak, ash
and Scotch fir, and the course of the
Thames marked by lines of willows and
alders. A few thin columns of smoke
rising over the tops of the trees would
mark the camping-places of primeval
man. In the forests wild boars, man.
moths, and rhinoceroses, wild horses,
stays, and Irish elks would meet our
ewes, and in the summer time countless
herds of bisons, like those now ranging
over the plains of northwestern Amer
lea. In the winter were vast numbers
of reindeer, and few musk sheep, the
most Arctic of the mammalia in its
habits. In the rivers were offers and

startled by the snort of the hippopota-
mus in the reaches of the Thames near
Brentford. Beasts of prey also abound
ed, lions, leopards, hyenas, grizzly
bears, wolves and foxes. If we pene-
trated to one of the camp-fires we should
have seen the river-drift hunter chip
ping or using some of those rude flint
implements which lie buried in the
London gravels along with the re-
mains of the animals which he hunted.
The river-drift man, in the long
course of ages, was succeeded by the
man of the caverns, like him hunter,
living on the same animals, and more
highly equipped for the battle of life.
In the course of time the cave man dis
appeared, the climate and geography
of England became almost what it was
now, the hunter stage of civilization
was superseded by that of the herds
man and the tiller of the ground and
the manufacturer of the neolithic age.
From the neolithic age down to the
present time the progress of man had
been unbroken in Britain and in Europe,
and the present condition of the Euro
pean peoples was to be looked upon as
the result of gradual series of changes
by which civilization succeeded civiliza-
ton, and race succeeded race, "the old
order yielding place unto the new,"
because the new order was higher and
nobler.

A Brilliant Diamond RObber.

ONE of the cleverest diamond rob-
berries of modern times is reported in a
tone of odd complacency by the lead
ing journals of'St. Petersburg. About
fortnight ago handsome equipage
drew up at the door of the first ieweler
in the Russian capital. Alighting from
the carriage, an elegantly dressed and
remarkably pretty young lady entered
the shop and requested that some
parures of brilliants might be shown to
her. Several costly sets were forthwith
submitted for inspection, and after
some hesitation she selected riviere
and pendants valued at 10000 rubles,
and, stating that she was the wife of an
eminent mad doctor, whose name is
household word IN St. Petersburg, re-
quested the proprietor of the establish
ment to accompany her home with the
jewels, in order to settle finally with
her husband about their price. The
jeweler packed up his diamonds and
got into the carriage with his fair Gus
toner. Presently they arrived at
large house and were received at the
porte cochere by Suisse in splendid
livery, who conducted them up
brilliantly lighted staircase into arichly
furnished drawing-room, in which the
lady begged her companion to take
seat, and, jewel case in hand, proceeded
to summon cher husband" Entering
the Doctors consultation room in an
apparent state of uncomfortable agita-
ton, she informed the latter that she
had brought her Unfortunate spouse to
visit him, in the hope that he would
undertake to cure him of the strange
monomania under which he had labored
for some time past. "My afflicted
husband" she said, sis a wealthy
landed proprietor from A, in the
Government of Minsk; he is quiet and
harmless. but has diamonds on the
brain. He will talk of nothing else,
poor fellow! Will you see himP Ihave
left him in your drawing-r room and am
much too nervous to be present while
you diagnose his case. Might l, there
fore, ask you to accompany me to my
carriage before you 90 to him! 1t will
be such relief to me to leave him in
your care" Her ingenious device was
crowned with complete success. She
drove Oft with the diamonds; an inter-
view between the Doctor and the jeweler
fully confirmed her statement with re-
spect to the latter's alleged monomania,
and resulted in his being placed under
bodily restraint, from which he was
only rescued three days later by one of
his partners, who succeeded, with the
assistance of the police, in tracking
him to DIR. V-fs renowned private
lIunatic-asylum. No trace has yet been
discovered of the gifted lady who ac-
complished this, in every sense of the
word, brilliant" coup.-London TeIe-

Sugar. Tea and Coffee.

COMMISSIONER LIE Due in his report
for the year 1879 says that the success
attending the efforts of the Department
at Washington in the direction of the
manufacture of cane sugar from
sorghum and maize will mark the year
just past as an important epoch in the
agricultural progress of the people.
During the past summer and fall sugar
of good quality has been profitably
made from Texas to Northern Minnesota
from Minnesota early amber. Syrup
weighing twelve pounds to the gallon,
atleast one-half of which was crystalliza-
BILE cane sugar, was made and can again
be made in nearly every State in the
Union by farmers with ordinary and
inexpensive machinery at the cost of
sixteen and two-third cents per gallon,
and by means of larger and better ap-
pointed mills that need not cost to ex-
coed $4,000 sugar and syrup have
been made thepast season from sorghum
by the carload which commanded the
highest market price. A knowledge
of these and other facts pertaining to
the subject warrants the assertion,
Commissioner LIE Due believes, that
sugar can be manufactured in guam
titles sufficient to meet any demand
likely to occur, at remunerative rate,
even if the price should fall one-third
below what it now is, and that the
smallest farmer as well as the largest
planter can profitably engage in its
production, and this in no limited area
of country, but in whatever place maize
can be grown successfully.
The efforts of the department to in
troduce the culture and manufacture of
tea, according to this same report, have
been steadily continued and with fair
prospect of ultimate success. Of the
$4,000 plants distributed last year, the
report indicates loss of about one
half, owing to failure, it is thought, to
protect them from the hot sun, but the
applications of the farmers are numer-
Gus, and the distributions of the Depart
ment will be continued during the
spring to come.
A solution of the question whether
coffee can be cultivated in any part of
the United States has at length been
solved by Mrs. Julia Atzeroth, of
Braidentown, Manatee County, Fla,
who has sent to the department at
Washington branch of coffee grown
in the open air in her garden. 1t is
something to know that a lodgment
has been effected on the coast of Florida.
But though four trees are known to
have been successfully grown and
fruited, whether the coffee will ripen
thoroughly and prove as profitable here
as it has in other countries has yet to
be determined.-N. Y. World.

She is not won't to leave her friends so lonely
That come too seldom, as she gaily VOWS;
Yet they are here, and wait her pleasure only;

She cannot be far off-perhaps but sleeping;
Doubtless at their low call she would arouse;
Why do they summon her alone with weeping |?
Where is the little mistress of the house?

Why she has fed from all she loved the dearest;
For there has been rumor she is dead.
Throw wide the door! Within the gloomy portal
Where her small feet fell light as falling snow,
They bear her in the mortal made immortal!
She comes again, but heavily and slow

From such poor clay this has Christ arisen;
For such as this He shall in glory come!
