Now George Benton experienced re- ligion. The glad news flew all around. From that time forth his cell was always full of girls and women and flowers, all the day long there was prayer, and hymn-singing, and thanksglvings, and homilies, and tears, with never an inter ruption. except an occasional fve-minute intermission for refreshments.
 This sort of thing continued up to the very gallows, and George Benton went proudly home, in his black cap, before a wailing audience of the sweetest and best that the region could produce. His grave had fresh flowers on it every day, for awhile, and the neadstone bore these words, under hand pointing aloft:
 ''He has fought the good fight"
 The brave cashiers headstone has this inscription:
 De pure, honest, sober, industrious, considerate, and you will never"
 Nobody knows who gave the order to leave it that way, built was so given.
 The Cashiers family are in stringent circumstances now, it is said; but no matter, lot of appreciative people, who were not willing that an act so brave and true as his should go unrewarded, have collected forty-two thousand dol- lars--and built Memorial Church with it. MARX TWAIN.

A Novel Alligator Hunt.

fIa
 Our readers will remember how Mir. H. H. Nelms, living ten miles on the other side of the river, was troubled by allIgators eating his hogs last year, and how he instituted war on the enemy and succeeded in killing number. A pond on his place seemed to be favorite re- sort for the scaly monsters, and they play sad havoc with his hogs every year. When the water is high there is no pos sible meens of Mir. Nelms getting at them. But about this time every year the pond gets very low, and Mir. N. never fails to avail himself of the opportunity to go for his troublesome dead-beat ten
 ants. When the water in the pond be- gins to get low the alligators dig out a kind of well in the pond eight or ten feet deep, and from the bottom of this well they work back into it's wall cave, where they can secrete themselves from all foes. The other day Mir. Nelms, owing to the low water, dug down into two of their caves and found gator in one and killed it. He tracked the other from it's den out of the pond into the woods to an old clay root, under which he found sir gator snugly ensconsed. 'Tis useless to say he too was brought forth and made to answer for his mis- doings. They were cut open, and in one was found the two halves of a large hog.

obliged to hold it, if they should be ob- liged to hold 1t over into another crop year. We have not at present any
 good reason oexpect that the demands of Europe upon the United States Tor
 bread will be much, if any, smaller than year ago. There is not, there fore. any present ground for alarm in
 regard to a superabundance of wheat, There is plenty of it as::s,,nss,.. tto kill the ambitions of those ,sho would like to see Europe forced to pay more than fifty shillings per quarter for it; not enough to warrant the bearing of it to a point which will not pay for the cost of producing it. The people who are croaking about over-production do the same thing every year. Twelve months ago they said we had some S0,000,000 bushels more than we could get rid of They miscalculated the facts in the case to the extent of 100,000,000 bushels. That is enough to show that they could not then grasp the situation, and there is no reason to think that they are any more competent now. Fortunately, their yaticinations do not seriously affect the matter. The wheat goes for ward while the statisticians are proving that there is no place to go to, just as serencly as the moon rolled on when the dog was baylng 1t.

How Paper Wheels Are made.

The Paper World, in describing the methods of manufacturing paper car wheels, says: "The paper is strawboard of rather fine texture. It is received in the ordinary broad sheets, differing in no particular from those used for straw board boxes, or similar work. These sheets, as they come from the paper mill, are square. and must, first of all, be cut to circular pattern. This is rapidly done on large table with a knife that is guided by radical arm that swings freely over the surface of the table from pivot at the center. A smalt disk is also cut from the center of the sheet to allow for the iron hub. Being thus reduced to the required shape and dimensions, the paper must now be converted from mass of loose sheets into compact, dense body, capable of withstanding the tremendous crushing force to which it will be subjected in the wheels. This is accomplished in the following manner: Ten sheets are pasted together, one upon another, mak- ing disk of about one. eighth of an inch thick. Enough of those disks having been prepared to fill powerful hydrau- lie press, they are subjected to pressure of 1,S00 pounds to the square inch. When renewed, the disks are hung on poles in steam heated loft and left six days to dry. Thicker disks are then made, each formed by pasting together two or three ot those already finished. These are pressed and dried as before, and the process is repeated until block is built four inches thick and about the specific gravity of lignum vita After each pasting and pressing six days are allowed for drying, and when the block is complete it is left in drying room until thoroughly seasoned. The next operation is that of turning the paper blocks to fit the steel ties and iron hubs, This is done in lathes with as much ac- curacy and in exactly the same manner as if the material worked on was iron or wood. The circumference is turned to perfect circle of the preclse diame- ter required, a bed or recess is worked out for the web of the tire to rest in, and the surfaces are left hard and smooth aed the edges sharply defined. The block is then painted and is ready for its place in the wheel.

The Water of Europe.

Sir Henry Thompson, the distinguish ed English physician, writes thus con- cernlng pure water: All the great makers of soda and potash waters have LOW theIr own artesian wells, or other equally trustworthy sources, so that En- glish serated waters are unrival.ed in cx- cellence. On the other hand, the foreign siphon, made, as it often is, at any chem ist's shop, and from the water of the nearest source, IS very uncertain pro- duction, Probably our travelling fellow countrymen owe attacks of fever mere to drinking water contaminated by sew age matter than to the malarlous in- fluences which pervade certain districts of Southern Europe. The only water safe for the traveller to drink is a natural mineral water, and such is now always procurable through put Europe, except in very remote or unfrequented places. In the latter circumstances no admixture of wine or spirit counteract 5sse poison in tainted water. and makes it safe to drink, as people often believe; but the simple process of boiling it renders it perfectly harmless. and this result is readily attained in any locality by mak- ing weak tea, to be taken hot or cold, or ill making toast water, barley water and lemonade"

Brazil Steamships.

It is worth while calling attention to the report of the United States Consul at Para, Brazil, if only to show how anxious other nations are to get our trade. That Monaos, Brazilian city of only 5000 people, is wiling to subsidize an American line of steamers between that place and the United States, to the tune of S3,600 each trip, ought to stimu- late our manufactures to active exertions to secure more of the Brazilian trade. The agent of the recently established British line of steamers between Para and New York openly confesses that the line has "paid enormously" Surely the American Association for advancing our foreign trade ought to take this and sim liar facts up and make an active cam paign for the establishment of an Ameri- can line, unless they are willing tbst Great Britain should get complete Con trol of the Brazilian trade.

Taxing Titles.

Italy promises soon to have the largest revenue of any country in the world. "The Italian Parliament" despatch from Rome tells us, "has decided to tax titles and decorations on the following scale: Gal for title of prince, 30,000 lire Italian; (b) duke, 25,000; (c) marquis, 10000; (d) count, 15,000; (e) baron, 10,- GOO: (f) for any other title, 5000; for crests, 706; for permission to wear for eicn decorations, 90 lire Italian." (The Italian lire, it may be said, is worth about 20 cents.) The dispatch adds, somewhat superfluously, that "it is sup posed that more than one-half of the owners of the above titles will be unable or unwilling to pay this tax" but the pecunious survivors should be sufficient in number to clear off the Italian nation al debt and leave the treasury full. The American mother will at least be able under the new regime to exact his permit of her intending son-in-law, or perhaps the government will issue something neat but not gaudy m the way of badges indicating that the wearer is licensed to call himself and be called a duke or marquis. .Unhappily for the title loving of the world, 1t is not Tn con temptation to turn out an unlimited number of princes. dukes and the like on compliance with mere financial
 formality. Seriously, however, when one considers how much the states o
 Europe have as rule done for then titled classes, he can hardly think tho proposition unjust that now the titled classes should contribute something tc
 the support of the state.-N. I. World.

Social Life In Portugal.
St. James Gazette.

It is a common remark of travellers that Portugal is 150 years behind the rest of the world. The truth is that in some respects Portugal is considerably in advance of most even of the progress i've regions of the Continent. Her sys- of government is constitutional in reali- ty as void as in name, and her people enjoy larger measure of individual freedom than would considered safe either in Germany or in France. If there are fewer great fortunes in Portu- gal than in some other countries, there appears to be little downright poverty, and a spirit of contentment prevades all classes. A recent writer, MT. Crawford, offers peculiarly attractive picture of the state of the Portugese workman or day laborer. He is better fed than many of our middle classes, and his amusements present striking contrast to those of British workmen. When his days work is done "he does not lean against post and smoke pipe, nor does he finger in the wine shop" If it be a holiday or Sunday in a rural district, he puts on clean shirt, with a gold or silver stud as neck fastening, and his newest hat, varying in shape,
 
 | black felt and of the kind which we see in pictures of Spanish life." He also l throws over his shoulders black cloth cloak, with real gold or silver clasp" and takes in his hand his favorite OK goad, land tall as himself, straight as an arrow, well-rounded and polished and bound with brass" Thus attired and with his guitar round his neck, he makes | f &l. f, lrox ha nearest fashionable threshing floor He finds here large company of old and young of both sexes, "come together for gossip, song and dance." If the dancing is not always graceful, and the singing is not particularly refined, both are the expression of bright and healthy temperament.
 The only serious hardship in the ordi. nary lot of the Portugese peasant Is the conscription: but, unfortunately, this is a hardship of the worst kind. "Often and often," says MT. Crawford. have l watched with pity and strong indigna. ton the workings of the most damnable system. At one time married men were not liable to conscription, and this is said to have led to large increase ol early marriages. Now, however, the law is more strict, and the Portugese like most of their continental neighbors have to submit with as good grace as pos sible to what IS regarded as an inevita ble evil. Whether it is really inevita ble, it is difficult for foreign observers tt decide. The only nation the PoItuges, have to fear is Spain, which has un douhtedly some enthusiasm for thu 'Iberian idea. But this so-called "idea awaken no response Tn Portugal, an, the people would fight hard for thei national independence.
