The Mining Stock Craze.

N Y. Letter to Philadelphia Times.
This mania for speculation in mining
stocks ramifes all grades Of society and
touches every plane Of means. The poor
est and the humbest are bitten by the
me bite that irritates the millionaire
We all remember, OF course, the familiar
story of the Rev. DR.. of Divinity OF
Brooklyn who inveightd with great vigor
against gambling, who regularly placed
two.thirds of his salary into the hands of
a Wall street broker and received with
gratitude the proceeds Of stock specua'
tons. Now that Is an apt illustration OF
the way the old cjdgers shake their heads
md warn their children and their young
friends to avoid the whirlpool of spccula-
ton and especially to dlstrust any scheme
which promises Ovcrlirge profits, bot
nevertheless have a mine in every pocket
and would be glad If they could lind a
pocket y in every mine. 1t is positively
ludcrous to hear the frenzed calculations
made by originators in mining matters
Go INTO the little OtlicA in the eighth story
OF one OF the great Cftce buildings down
IN the lower mart of Broadway, " in Wal
or Beaver streets, and you will find Q
knot of auxious-eyed, tight.Iipped mer
pour over n map dotted with red and blue
and figuring on bits Of paper in the most
eager and excited way. If you are IN
their confidence, you soon ascertain that
they nave discovered Il property which
can be bought for ten, twenty, fifty
thousand dollars, and can be put upon
the market for fifty, one hundred, or two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We
will say the original scheme involves an
outlay OF $4,000, and that four men put
in $500 ch Then they stock it to the
extent Of 500 900, and each man takes q
block OF $25,000 for his $2,500-tnat is,
he takes 1t in stock. Then they bind
themselves on honor not to sell the stock
at less than 20 cents on the dollar, and
perhaps set aside one-tenth or One-twen'
tieth of the whole amount to utilize upon
the market and to force quotations and
sales so as to trap the unwary; and they
do trap them; and the unwary come in and
buy and lose or they buy and make unit

A Greek Horror In Russia.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
A terrible story reaches the Petersburg
Herald from Samara. Some few days ago
the wife of skilled artisan named Schmid,
Of that town, was brought to bed of a
child while her husband, who had become
confirmed sot, and spent all his wages
for many previous weeks in liquor, was
away from his home upun drunken frolic.
Two days after her confinement Schmid
staggered in about noon and began tC
shout, with horrible threats and curses,
for his dinner. There having been neither
food nor money in the bouse since he had
last left it, the unfortunate woman had
had no nourishment for herself or hel
babe since its birth, and the latter had
died of exhaustion but a few minutes be
fore its heartless father made his appear
ance, intoxicated and disappearing, in the
room where son had been born to him
while he was squaudering his wages II
drink. To Schmid's brutal menaces his
m iserable wife made no answer. Silently
she rose from her sordid pallet, wan and
emaciated, mere spectre OF woman
crept across the room to the dresser, took
thence large dish, which she carried
back to the bed, and, placing her baby''
corpse upon the dish, set it down on the
table before her husband with the simple
but awful words, "There is nothing else
to eat in the housed" Schmid sat gazing
with CLASSY stare at his dead child fol
some time. Presently neighbor came in
and spoke to Schmid, but he uttered not q
word and made no sign. Upon closer ex'
animation he was found to have entirely
lost his reason, and he was convened tC
tne Ssmara mad-house, where he still re-
mains hopeless lunatic.

charges of habitual oppression, Mr.,
Boyle has seen Bulgar family hard at
work in their field by the side Of the road,
and no one Of the party lifted his head ia

Russian Grand Duke. But their stupid.
ity is only matched by their sullen ill
will" Though they love money they will
neither sell nor give. They will fight
doggedly when "cornered." but never il
they can help it. As for the malignity oi
their ieprisals on their helpless Turkish
neighbors, it surpassed the atrocity ol
those outrages by Circassians and Bashi.
Bazouks which raised the storm Of indig.
nant execration through Europe. "In q

From the MOniteIn.
Some few days ago Pere Didon and the
provincial of his order, Pero Chocarne,
happened to meet NJ. de Falloux at din
ner table in Paris, and the three had u
long conversation together. The sermons
recently delivered by the Dominican soon
came under discussion; report, indeed,
having got about that the diocesan author
ites, rather disquieted by the temerity of
the preacher, were thinking OF requesting
him afresh to observe greater moderation
in his discomses. The reverend father dis
played great Difference for his ecclesiastical
superiors, though he did rot seem inclined
to yield an inch, appearing convinced that
his plans merited support rather than op.
position, "But what queer sort Of audi
ence you gather together" remarked a
gentleman present. ooh! as to that, "
struck in NJ. de Falloux, "iust let me tell
YOU an anecdote about Lacordaire. One
day an enthusiastic Catholic paid the great
orator a visit, and said: well, father,
the audience you get together is perfectly
scandalous Some Of the people are suck
ing oranges, some read the papers, and
others interchange gossip. You must ef-
feet an alteration in all this. But what
do you do yourelfP' inquired Lacordaire.
Il tell my beads as | ought to do, re-
aponded the devout Catholic. We'll, then,
retorted Lacordaire, 4 may as well inform
you at once that preach for those who
suck oranges in church, and not for good
people like yourself. '"
Pere Didon could not refrain from a
smile at the conclusion of the story, on
which NJ. dc Falloux turned to him and
remarked: "You are quite right to smile,
father. for your own sermons are intended
for the orange eaters. Like Lacordaire,
too, you no doubt bear with you to the
pulpit the regard ior truth which ami
mated the great rcstorer Of your order.
Before as after his discourses he was always
afraid of not adequately serving the cause
Of truth. After he had delivered one OF
his eloquent harangues his first thought
and query was whether any expression or
gesture he had used would have been bet,
ter omitted. He always deemed too
pronounced sentiment as fault, and peo-
pie who knew him well were charmed with
the delicacy and toleration Lacordaire dis
played. As the result, observe the mum.

AFFECTION.

Grandmother PAGES with stately tread
Forward and back through the quaint old
room,
Out of the freight dancing and red
Into the gathering dusk and gloom,
Forward and back, in her silken dress
With its falling rutfles of frost like lace;
look of the deepest tenderness
In the faded lines Of her fine old face.
Warm on her breast, in his red night gown,
Like scarlet lilly, the baby lies,
While softly the tired lids droop down
Ovor the little sleepy eyes.
Grandmother sings to hin sweet and low,
And memories come with the cradle song
OF the days when she sung it long ago.
When her life was young and her heart was
strong.
Grandmother's children have left her now;
The large old house ia shadowed place;
But shining out in the sunse. glow
OF her life, like n star, comes the baby a
face.
He lies where of old his father lay,
Softly she sings him the same sweet strain
Till the years intervening are swept away,
And joys of life's morning are hers again.
Grandmother's gray head is bending low
Over the dear little downy one;
The stems of her pathway are few to go;
The blby's journey is just b gun.
Yet the rosy dawn 0t his childish love
Brightens the evening that elss we're dim;
And in after years. from the home above.
The light of her blessing will resi- on him,

THE BEGGAR's DOG

Rambling one day in London city,
| saw dog that raised my pity,
4 wretched cur, all skin and bone,
That in the gutter crawled along;
And in his MOUTH smiled at that
He held an old and crownless hat.
With quick and deferential eye,
He watched the bustling passers by,
Who in their haste, as on they Jared,
Nor cast glance at him nor cared,
Yet some. when they had passed somt
PAGES,
Would halt with grins upon their faces;
His story wal so plain indeed
So clear that he who ran might read:
"a beggar's dng-his master dead
The beast still carries on the trade,
And trusts by diligence and care
The public patronage TO share"
sauntered on; but as went,
My thoughts upon that dog were bent.
Behold said in meditation,
"Thc force of custom, education,
And though we laugh at hints sad
Some human plans are quite as bad.
How many schemes in his same town
Are merely hats without the crown;
Ways indirect, but most complete,
OF tossing money on the street"

julius Moser gives the following counsel
from wife and mother: 81 try to make
myself and all around me agreeable. It
will not do to leave man to himself till
he comes to you to take no pains to at
tract him, or to appear before him with a
long face. It Is not 20 difficult as you
think, dear child, to behave to husband
so that he shall remain forever In some
measure husband. am an old woman,
but you can still do what you like; a word
from you at the right time will not fail OF
its effect; what need have you to play the
suffering virtue? The tear OF loving
girl, said an old book, is like q dew.drop
on a rose; but that on the cheek OF wife
is drop Of poison TO a husband. Try TO
appear cheerful aud contented, and your
husband will be 80; and when you have
made him happy, you will become so-not
in appearance, but in reality. The skill
required is not so great. Nothing hatters
a man SO much as the happiness OF his
wife; he is always proud OF himself as the
source Of il. As soon as you are cheerful
you will be lively and alert, and every
moment will afford you an opportunity TO
let fall an agreeable word. Your educa-
tion. which gives you IN immense advan-
tage, will greatly assist you; and your
sensibility will become the noblest gift
that nature has bestowed on you, when u
shows itself in aiiectionato assiduity, and
stamps on every action q soft, KIND ana
tender character, instead Of Wasting itseii
in secret repinings." This is most excel,
lent advice, and worthy Of being treasured

the evening was passed even more un
pleasantly than the previous one. the only
elieving circumstance being the announce
ment by Sinclair Of his departure after
breakfast. He came mbidden; he was
to go unregretted.
The next morning as the colonel, with
Blanche and Waldron, were standing or
the terrace, while Sinclair was packing his
portmanteau, Tom Hardy came on an
erraud from neighboring farmer. Wher
Sinclair saw him his deceit OF yesterday
rushed across his mind He suspected
Tom had come tor his pay for the birds
and was telling his business to the party
and, without waiting to discover what was
the occasion Of the intrusion, said in ar
angry tone, "You impudent fellow, what
brought you after meP"
why, Mr.. Sinclair, do not want pay
for the birds now; came on an erIand
for Mr.. Pendleton.
Pale as dead man 5 face, Sinclair be
came in an instant when he saw his mis-
take, and that his secret was so near the
light. Blanche looked at him and wa'
astOnished at the change. The truth
then came to her mind, and she sait
softly, Tom, when did you sell Mr.. Sin
clair any birds?"
81 beg pardon, Miss Blanche, know
Mr.. Sinclair will pay me-"
But when, Tom did you sell him the
birds-tell me all about it,"
Tom, in looking down, as was his habit
while talking, did not see the endeavors
OF Sinclair to draw his attention.
"Why, yesterday, as ! was coming
through the valley by the old mill, | met
Mr.. Sinclair out hunting, and | let him
have fifteen Of my birds but don't think,
Miss Blanche, | fear he will not pay me,
for know he will"
As Blanche turned on Sinclair, never
did soldier stripped of his epaulcts on
battlefield look meaner.
"Give me back the locket, she said, in
a commanding voice.
Without a word he took it from his
chain and handed it to her and then stole
away.
"Mr. Waldron, this is yours. You have
won it fairly. Wear it for honor's sake. "
Sinclair shortly afterward left the
State and Blanche, while on a visit to the
city during the following winter, promised
Ralph Waldron to be his forever.

A Story of Thiers' Babyhood. .

Paris Cor. n, o. Picayune.
The French government has just had
printed report by all the custom house
officers of France on the various frauds
resorted to in order to evade the payment
of customs duties. 1t is an Svo. volume
of eight hundred and sixty pages, and is
amusing. Goods are smuggled in hollow
trees, hollow axle trees, hollow poles;
leather bags tied to the keels Of boats;
linen handkerchiefs instead OF hair, pad
ding saddles, hogsheads, barrels, baskets
with double bottoms and sides; bedsteads
with all the wood work hollow; wheel
barrOws with wheel and handles hollow;
cabbages and cakes of butter filed with
coffee; boot and shoe soles hollow and
filled with tobacco; loaves Of bread and
cakes filled with tobacco and gun powder;
sheep sheared as close rs possible, silk or
laces swathed around them, and over the
goods fleece (di1 you ever before hear OF
sheep wearing wigs n; apples and pear,
containing iewelry, diamonds and watch
es; bricks filed with tobacco; dead poul
try stuffed with lace; hats with double
sides and tops; wigs with double lining
filled with lace; as for the goods snug
gled in women's hair, Corsets, crinolines,
they exceed account. Customs officers
almost always see these frauds, but do
not arrest the smuggers, to avoid hourly
scandals.
One day mother, who had been to a
country house near Marseiles, returned
with her son to Marseilcs. 1t was twi-
light. The child, eight years old, had
been put into a peach basket borne by
donkey, and the mother, fearing the child
might catch cold mt was in Novemberl
had covered the bov with thick brown
shawl Tired with running around the
country all day, cosy and warm under the
thick shawl, the child was soon asleep and
hidden by the sides OF the basket Al
though the city gates were reared There
is a local custom house at the gates OF
Marseilles) the mother, forgetting all
about the child. walked a distance behind
the donkey and did not make him stop at
the custom house to be searched. The
customs officer, seeing the donkey jog on
without stopping, suspected he was laden
with smuggled goods, and ran after him
to thrust his sharp steel probe through the
basket. Luckily the mother observed
him, ran forward and screamed: Don't
use your probel My child is in that bas.
ket" That child was Adolphe Thiers.
