a Shrewd Father.

About year ago, if remember rightly,
story went the rounds which credited that
ingenious gentleman, the Westernlnan with
having successfully carried out one of the
most original of plans for getting bis daugh-
tiers comfortably settled in life, without any
cost whateyer to himself. He had large
and expensive family. Three out of four
of the daughters were manageable. They
were very pretty girls, and had many adj
mirers. The father permitted them to
receive attentions from the most eligible
young men, and to all outward appearances
seemed perfectly content to part with his
treasures until asked to do So Zach de-
mand for consent was the signal for an out
burst of feeling that ended in the sudden
exit of the applicant. The lovers. however,
were not to be prevented from attaining
happiness by what they believed to be the
whim of selfish father they eloped,
were married and forgiven. The real state
of the case was, the father could not afford
to buy three suitable outfits, and pay the ex-
pense of three feasts. Not seeing any pros
pect in the immediate future Of being better
able to do so, after ransacking his brain to
find way out Of the difficulty, he at last
concluded to frown on tie young people,
and take the chances Of what might follow.
The elopements didn't cost him cent the
expense of outfits and weddings was saved
and his reputation for liberality did not
suffer in the least, and his neighbors con-
tinued in ignorance of the actual condition
of his exchenuer

Journalism in England.

When, some years ago, the press was
called the fourth estate, that title seemed too
large and presumptuous, but nobody can
think it inappropriate now. The power OF
the press is enormous, and it goes on increas-
ing year by year, while the force of no other
form of persuasion or authority Except the
law is fully maintained, perhaps. There
fore, unless it continue to be controlled by a
patriotic, judicial and lofty spirit-if it be-
comes the instrument of club arrangement
and parlor conspiracies-inasmuch as it be-
comes the tool of secretaries of demagogues,
of the .fou .furieur, of seryille capitalists
with drawingrooms to conquer, or even OF
the raging sincere pedants who are now be-
ginning to infest it, the press will be not
only an enormous power, but an enormous
peril. We confess that, for several years
past we have been oppressed with an appre-
hension that the time was nigh when this
danger would appear Enthusiastically; but the
events of the last fortnight have shown that
its time is not yet. After gay and glorious
period of service journalistic funkydorum
meets its reward. 1t retires from the dicky
-epaulets, stick, buttons and all-with the
painful consciousness that ribald public
has been laughing at the straw in the mag
nifcently padded calves for long time.
The people generally, we find, are as ready
to detect insincerity and bombast, as ready
to condemn the neutrality-suspicious.

his Inspirations and emotions, as may well

FRENCH MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES.

A Partisan matrimonial agency wishes to
establish branch agency in Rome, to tempt
spectators in the matrimonial lottery. The
Popolo Romano contains several matrimonial
advertisements. One young lady of thirty
offers her hand and heart to any gentleman,
no matter how old, provided he has suff-
Gent means to support her comfortably. A
gentleman of distinguished family, regular
figure, and fifty years Of age, desire to marry
widow or spinster, OF similar years, and
promising not to be any burden in pecu-
MARY sense, to his wife, as he has sufficient
means of his own. He likes the provinces
better than the capital, and loves the coun-
try more than anything. His health is ex-
cellent What woman can refuse such
model of husband? Another gentleman,
foreigner, and, of course, of distinguished
birth, is nearly sixty. BE seeks an accom-
plished companion for the rest of his life,
with money enough to pay for travelling in
the summer months. La other respects he
is moderate in his requirements, for he says
plainly that he will make no objection to
age Or defor1nity of any kind, provided the
lady is independent and of very affection
ate disposition" A woman should, indeed,
have a most affectionate heart to be ready to
love wretch of sixty, who thus proclaims
his Willingness to marry cripple.

AN IMPOSSIBLE DUEL.

An amusing story of an impossible
duel" is going the rounds of the salons just
now. One evening recently three we'll
known officers, all of them "Counts," WIS.,
tied the Theatre an der Wien, now no longer
the classic ground it was when Mozart and
Beethoven gave their concerts there, for In
these days it is devoted to light comedies,
provincial burlesques and sometimes what ID
New York has been called the "leg DRAMA"
The officers chose to disturb their neighbors
by conyersing in SO loud a tone that gen.
teman from a neighboring loge entered the
box in which the talkative officers sat and
uttered the single word "Rube!" which
means peace, or &C be quiet" Count S. I'M
mediately followed the retiring intruder and
presented bis card, demanding the gentle
mans address, saying his second should
wait on him in the morning. The intruder,
evidently novice in the science of "pistols
and coffee for two," replied, Thanks,
Herr Graf T" and gave the required address.
The following noon Count T., the second,
called at the street number given, and was
filed with dismay to find the gentleman of
the previous evening standing behind the
counter, measuring off yard of tape.
"What can do for you, sir?" said the
busy shopkeeper, "sleeve buttons, watch
chains, suspenders?'
The dismayed nobieman replied not, but
at last stammered out something of the pre-
vious evenings insalt, that he came as Count
SIS second, but"
sob, So" said the shopkeeper "well, if
his lordship wants to fight me, I'm all ready
and will be proud Of the honor"
"But, impossible" exclaimed the sec
ond; ''you are not noble, and our
"Deyl take the code If Count S. wants
to shoot me, why mott"
Impossible! CALCULATED the second.
4" It must be arranged otherwise"
every good" answered the shopman
"perhaps you and the Count will meet me
ct - Hotel at 2 o'clock to-day, when I
go to dine; your code don't forbid you to
dine with me. Do come; I'll give you q
grand dinner, and wen talk over the ar
rangements.
And the invitation was accepted since the
duel was impossible.

First among the things to be thankful for
is a thankful spirit. Some people would
grumble at the accommodations in heaven
if they ever got there.

The death-rate of our country is getting
to be fearfully alarming, the average of
life being lessened every year, without
any reasonable cause, death resulting
generally from the most insignificant ori-
gin. At this season of the year, especially,
a cold is such a common thing that in the
hurry of every day life we are apt to over
look the dangers attending it and often
find too late, that fever or Lung trouble
has already set in. Thousands lose their
lives in this way every winter, while had
Boschces German Syrup been taken, a cure
would have resulted, and large bill from
a Doctor been avoided. For all diseases
of the Throat and Lungs, Boschcc's German
Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest
discovery of its kind in medicine. Every
Druggist in this county will tell you of it.
wonderful effect. Over 950,OOO bottle.

THE EVERGLADES OF FLORIDA.
work of reclaiming the Everglades of
Florida is being carried on with energy
and with hattering prospect of success.
A steamer is working at the head of the
Caloosahatchee River, opening channel
from Lake Flirt to Lake Hichppochee.
A dredge boat is rapidly approaching
completion at Cedar Keys, which will
have a capacity for excavating in twenty
four hours a canal % feet wide, feet
deep, and 500 feet in length, and will at
one handling deposit the material excava-
ted at convenient distance from the sides
of the canal 1t is expected that this boat
will be actively engaged on the Upper
CalOosahatchee early in next month. A
dredge of greater excavating capacity is
now building on the Kissimee River, and
will be in operation next month, 1t will
commence work by cutting from Lake
Okeechobee out to tidewater.

NEURALGIA AS A WARNING. One of
the London medical journals declares that
the great prevalence of neuralgia or
what commonly goes by that name
should be regarded as warning indica-
tive of low condition of health, which
must necessarily render its subjects pecu-
liarly susceptible to the invasion of dis
cases of an aggressive type. 1t is always
essential that the vital forces should be
vigorous, and the nerve power, in espe-
cial, in full development; but neuralgia
indicates a low ordcpressed state of vital
ity-a poor and weak state-and should
be promptly placed under treatment.

About Potatoes.

1t is estimated that New York Citv
alone, daily consumes 10000 bushels of
potatoes; or one bushel to each IS or 80 of
the resident and transient population; or
a. bushels each per annum. The whole
sale price now dec. 81 by the car or boat
load is $3.50 to So per barrel, or fully 81
per bushel, and the retail price considera-
bly, higher. Shrewd dealers and specula-
tors have for some time past been buying
up all available supplies in many locali-
ties. Ordinarily, the greater weight of
potatoes for the same money value, and
the frost embargo for at least three winter
months, prevent the transfer of potatoes
from regions of plenty to those of scarcity,
as is done with grain; but active trans
portation over long distances is now going
on.
Potatoes are always an expensive food
That is to say, comparatively. A bushel
OF potatoes go lbs contains nearly so lbs.
Of water and only about 10 lbs. of solid
nutriment, which is mainly starch. At
present wholesale prices here this is nearly
10 cents pound for the food they yield.
Fair wheat flour, at IS a barrel, is only
cents pound. Corn at so cents bushel
l56 ffs.) has nearly 80 lbs of nutriment,
costing less than cents per h. Taking
the country altogether, and the prices OF
potatoes, corn, wheat, etc, high and low,
from year to year, the average nutritious
food obtained in the form of potatoes
costs to times as much as it does in
the consumption Of corn or beans, and .!
to times as much as in the form of wheat
flour, or oatmeal, beans, rice, etc.-Ameri.

DIR. HAMMOND ON ToBACCo-Dr. VIM.
A. Hammond, interviewed by the New
York Tribune on tobacco, gives his medi-
cal opinion that smoking is very bad for
boys and women, stunting the boys, i'm
pairing their digestion, sight and hearing
rendering them subject to neuralgia and
to diseases of the brain which impair
mental force, also have the same effect on
women, because of their more sensitive
nerves; but that moderate smoking of
cigars is very good for adult men, retard-
ing the waste of the tissues, making food
go further, enabling men to bear trouble
with complacency, and preventing de.
pressing emotions.
