REaIsrRATIoM Law.

We favor the enactment by the
legislature Of a registration law
Let this Law provide that no man
shall vote ct any election held for
any purpose, unless he shows to the
managers a receipt from the tax col
leotor Of the county of his residence
for his poll tax. In each county ap-
point competent persons to register
the votes, and compel every voter to
vote 10 the militia district whore he
resides and provide the managers
with a printed list of the voters. By
this means a man could vote once
and once only. 1t would put a stop
to the corrupt aud degrading prac-
,ice of repeating. Think of it a
minute. Many honorable and good
citizen have become so disguised
with the manner in which elections
are carried on, that they refuse to
go to the polls, while some graceless
rascal will vote two, three or five
times. By repeating and the impor-
tation Of voters, the will of the peo>
pie is frequently negatived, aud a
candidate, not the choice of the legal
voters, indicted by fraud into Office.
We are aware that under this sys-
tenn the purchase of votes may con-
tinue, but it will destroy repeating
and illegal voting, which would be
great stride in the right direction

THE Lazy MAN.

A lazy man is always good na~
tured. lie never flies into passion.
He might crawl into ma, if that were
possible, but the idea Of flying into
one is preposterous.
Whoever beard of lazy man
breaking into q bank where crow
bar had to be used, or drilling into a
safe Not but that be might covet
bis neighbours goods contained there
in, but the horror of handling crow-
bar and drills would always deter
him from actually committing bur-
glary. He never runs Vay with his
neighbours wife simply on account of
the horror he has Of running. If be
is ever known to run, it is to run to
seed.
He rarely lies about his neghbors
for it would be too much exertion !;
but he lies about bar room all day.
He is of ines.imsble service to a
billiard saloon, keeping the chairs
warm, and watching the game, for
few would care to play where there
are no spectators.
The fact that be- does this without
pay, day in and day out, shows the
unselfshness of his nature.
The lazy man never gets up revo-
Iutions, instructions, or other popu
lar excitements, and don't make a
nuisance of himself by tramping
around the country making iucen>
binary speeches to promote public
discomfort.
In his own neighborhood he is
never busybody in other peoples
affairs, for the idea of being a busy
body at anything would drive him
out of bis head.
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet
of peaceful neighbours by putting up
factories, furnaces and other abomi-
nations.

A woAa&Nv aiyf ) BIRTH TO sEg.
en-, : Ia EIhL RABIES.

/ A telegram dssed ED Of June,
states that a Goman residing in
jackson county Tennessee, recently
gave birth to seven children at one
ACCOMPLISHMENT. After the first child
was bor:. the pains of labor contin-
ued. An examination convinced the
physician that there We're two in-
stead of one, and the woman was
soon delivered of a second child,
both girls. The physician gave di,
rections as to the care of both moth
or and children, and prepared to
take his leave. Before reaching his
horse at the gate be was recalled
and delivered the woman of another
girl baby. Again the physician took
bis leave, and agsin was recalled,
bringing to light another girl baby.
This WAS considered remarkable, and
the physician was greatly puzzled
over the matter. He, however, con.
graduated the husband on bis good
fortune, and departed for home. He
had not gone more than half mile
before he was overtaken by the ex-
cited husband of the woman, who in
breathless haste, Informed him that
there was still another child to be
born. Fastening back, the pbysi-
clan arrived 10 time to aid 10 deliv-
eripg the woman Of her fifth child.
The physician was then prevailed
on BY the. husband and father to
stay during the remainder of the
night. He was pot slow to accept
the invitation, and sat down to await
developments. In the course of 6f>
teen minutes he YVES called to the
bedside Of the sick woman, and very
soon the sixth child was breathing
the breath of life. Having had no
sleep during tho night the doctor
threw himself across the bed on his
arrival at home aud was soon fast
asleep. About eight o'clock be wac
aroused by his wife, who stated that
Mr.. B. was at the gate. aud wanted
to see him immediately. "Wbat,
another one ! exlclaimed the doctor
excitedIy. That's it, said Mr. B.,
smile spreading his mouth from
ear to ear. The doctor mounted his
horse and was soon at the house of
Mr.. B. He was too late, however,
to be of any service, as the seventh
child, a girl, was born few minutes
previous to His arrival. The doctor
remained about the premises during

The gentleman who made the
above statement, and il is almost in
bis exact words, says he has seen
the babies several times, and, while
not large, weighing from four to five
pounds each, they appear to be
healthy, well-developed children
The occurrence has created consider
able excitement in the Deighbor>
hood, and the people for miles around
flock to see the woman and her ba-
bies. The husband is described as
being of small stature, and, in fact,
exceedingly thin, while the wife is
said to be strong and healthy. A
most singular feature of the children
is that all of them have blue eyes,
aud so closely resemble each other

AVOID ISLANDER.

None of US are perfect, and We
have no right therefore to expect
perfection in others. So if you can
not speak we'll of your neighbors dc
not speak of them at all. A cross
neighbor may be made a kind one
by kind treatment. The way to be
happy is to make others happy. To
do good is luxury. If you are moi
wiser and better at the end of the
day, that day is lost. Practical kind
ness, even if it be but to speak one
word. Do not seem to be what you
are not. Lern to control your tenn
per and your words. Say nothing
behind ones back that you would
not say to his face. This habit Of
reticence, beside being kindly one
is safe. Many bitter harvest hal
been reaped from thoughtless worI
of ceIsure.

One Of the lovelest corners in Ottawa 10 the
Tile Works, where some "a men are at work
grinding out drain, sewer and building tile I'M
der the direction Of Mr.. Jekyll The most im
portant feature Of the establishment is the hol
low building tile for erecting nre proof buildings
"a patent OF Messrs. johnson d Co., the Chica.
go capitalists, controlling large interest in the
present works. As but few seem to understand
the uses of this class Of goods we quote the fol-
lowing from the Eastern Manufacturer, OF Phia-

Hollow Tile Fireproof Floor, the tiles Of equal
artificial thickness and laid In place in cement

outer tiles are made with shoulder SO formed

"a OF nh inch below its sofit, TO allow an extra
thickness of plaster which is applied directly on
the surface of the tiles, as protection to the under
side OF the beam. The centr tile i. the key"
and the ''in,ermediate" pieces are so placed that
the whole mass when laid forms a self.support.
ing Nat arch. IL can be seen at glance that
there are many and great advantages obtained
by using this flooring. For instance it is per-
fecty treproof, we have level ceiling, dispens-
with the necessity of Turing or lathing; saving
in the weight and thickness OF the floor; 1t can
be laid at any season Of the year and ut great
saving Of cost and time, as the work dries almost
as soon as lalu, IL Is rat ana Ncrmln PROOF, anu
at all times free from unsightly cracks such rs
are observed in floors constructed OF materials
affected by change OF temperature, causing ex-
pansion and contraction and destroying the plas.

can be furnished and put up Mt cost only lit.
tie above the price of brick
For the wall the tiles are made in such shape
as to allow them to be clamped together horizon
tally and transversly by a tile clamp made ex.
pressly for this purpose, thus obtaining wall OF
a far greater amount Of strength and lightncss,
with the least amount of space and material. In
addition to the advantages obtained in the floor.
ing we also have all outside sound deadened, and
an opportunity is allowed for the introduction Of
cold air for ventilation purposes. There is
scarcely a city in the Unionbu what can furnish
proof Of the necessity of having non. conductive
materials protection to iron columns In case
of fire. Here, then, is such a material; a ma.
terial most admirably adapted to this purpose,
as has been proven often, for these tiles have
been in use for the past eight years and in every
case have given the greatest satisfaction and an.
swered in full to all the claims set forth above.
Large quantities of this tile were made at Utica
last season and used in the Chicago Court House
and City Hall, L. s. Custom House, &c.

quently cultivated corn field, and good crop

If they are not used the plants would certainly
perish.
Many scientific reasons could be given IN
addition to the above for stirring and pulver'
izing the soil, but they all involve the one sim
pie fact that stirring 1t frequently and thor.
oughy Is extremely beneficial to the crops
growing thereon. Just how long or late the
farmer should continue the cultivation of his
corn or potatoes is a matter for HIM to decide
but he need have no tear OF doing such crops
harm as long as the roots are not destroyed by
the implement used among them, or the tops
broken down IN the operation.
The market gardeners near all of our larger
cities seem to understand the importance OF
thorough and almost constant stirring of the
soil about their plants; and whether there are
weeds or not, the hoes and cultivators are kept
going and the enormous crops raised show
that there is something In the management OF
soil, as well as IN its natural or acquired fcrili
