How to Get Rich,

I am a born philanthropist. My
sole object in life is to advance the
interests of the human race. Hence
I address the public-not exactly the
public-the ''vulgar public but
that highly respectable and select
class who read lottery advertise
ments-schcmes for growing sud-
denly wealihy-who send th~ree-cent
stamps for descriptive circulars
showing how to corner Wall Street,
ETC., e C..
My proposition is this: l propose
to have printed 100, 900 photographs
of myself These l will deliver to
responsible parties at cost of forward
ing th m. They can sell them for
twenty five cents each, reap a rich
harvest, and retire with the happy
satisfaction that my face and their
cheek were their fortunes.
The philosophers stare, as it were.
Who would buy them! you ask.
Well, I should smile ii I had time
but, being very busy, will only pity
the ignorance, moral freshness and
vernal greenness of the interrogation.
Way, everybody would. What would
they do with them? Don't give your
self away, young fellow. This afore-
sid picture is guaranteed to be the
rage for:
A parlor ornament.
Frightening off burglars.
Luiling bad infants to sleep.
Soaring off the butcher.
Bnlidozir,g the shaker.
Charming the ladies'.
Edifying clergymen,
And u thousand and one other i'm
portant things.
The man who pedd'es books woulc
find his occupation gone :; the invent
urs Of the Liver Pad and Hop Bitters
would take in their signs: lotteries
would scale their prizes worse thar
ever.
Now. this is a downright sacrifice
but l don't mind II. There is moth
ing small about me-no ever IN,
feet. | am not narrow-minaed no
selfish. l do not even make thi.
proposition q base subterfIge 70
Presidential aspirations. Neither dt
l intend lecturing or writing a book
| have no designs whatever on thu
counlry-not wen the ultimate anbi
ton of becoming a newspaper punste
or a ensus supervisor. With thes
avowals, l throw myself upon tn
country, and pledge myself to stan'
by its decision.

CHRISTOPHER PRICE.
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

There lived miser in olden times
Whose like could find in trice;
His name was honOred because he was rich,
And that name was Christopher Price.
He had houses and lands and Golfers filled
With his boarded stores of gold;
But his fist was elenched like an iron wise,
And his heart as Winter cold
The needy poor would call at his door,
And ask for Christopher Price;
But he ne'er was known to give them aught
Except word of advice.
And this old Chris. was sure to give.
Whatever the tale or woe
IL cost him nothing and so, of course,
He advised the beggars TO 90.
In vain they might. with fearful eyes,
Their piteous lot bewail
The head of dollar would move his heart.
But not a dOtOT-Ous tale.
Yet once in his life he known to give
To widow who came TO beg;
He opened his heart and gave her the broth
In trhich he had bOilcd an egg.
Now il SO fell out that Chris. fell sick
And he did not wish TO depart
He sent for doctor. and said he thought
He had disease Of the heart.
The doctor smiled and thought of his fee,
Then left him powder and pill;
He hYed-there was not room in his heart
For enough disease to kill
At last. one morning he went to look,
And gone was his boarded pelf;
At night. when the neighbors happened in,
Old Chris. was missing himself
Twas said that Satan. with one of his imps,
bargain Of sin had made
And SO he seized upon Old Chris. Price,
There's another price and that is the price
OF Clothing Ut TOWER HALL;
Unlike Old Christopher-'tis price
That is doing good 10 al.
Then let my readers listen TO me
And will be an adviser;
Buy clothes at the Tower and Shun the fate
OF Christopher Price the miser!

President Garfield has had to undergo
the severity of another operation, render
ed necessary by the rapid febrile rise of
Sunday. DIR. Agnew heightened the in
cision in the Presidents side previously
made and from its lower point new open
ing was made into the track of the wound
below the twelfth rib. This, it is thought,
will prevent any future complication from
the healing of the wound. The President
was partially etherized during the opera
ton and bore it well. 1t is a relief to the
anxious public to know that his condition
last Monday evening was reported to be
excellent. 1t was five weeks last Satur-
day since the President was shot and the
fact that he cannot yet sit up in bed
attest the severity of the wound and shows
how near the brink of death he has been
lowering.

Mr.. Orville Grant, who was the sole
surviving brother of ex-President Grant,
and who for some time past has been an
inmate of the State Asylum for the Insane
at Morris Plains, NJ. died on Friday. Mr.
Grant was engaged in the hide, leather
and saddlery business, in GaleNa, for some
years, and had the reputation of being a
capital business man. When he left
Galena to engage in business in Chicago
his fortune was large. The great fire,
however, destroyed the whole of his stock
and left him almost without funds This
disaster preyed upon his mind, and it is
likely that he never recovered from the
shock and that he lost his reason through
the calamity.

WHEAT CROP OF 1SS1.-The deficiency
of the crop of 1881, as compared with that
of 1880, is about one-sixth. But as there
was an increase in the acreage of 1881 of
about two per cent, the additional yield
from this cause, in round numbers. would
be about ten millions of bushels, and would
thus bring up the total crop of 1881 to
422 526, 400 bushels, which would leave
the actual shortage $4,000 900 bushels.
Such an amount of decrease for the year
is not, however, to be deplored. In view
of the better harvests and consequently
lesser demand abroad, the shorter crop
will tend to make prices frmer than they
otherwise would have been.
