A Huge Concern.

The manufacturers of the Genuln"
Singer Machine state these facts :;
That they ertploy forty thousand
persons and eighty thousand horses.
Have their own steamboat and loco-
motive transporting machines and
material between New YORK ana
heir immense factory at Elizabeth,
Y. j. The total estimate of offices
throughout the world is over four
thousand five hundred. Their fac
tory covers an area of thirteen acres
Of ground. and every square foot
is daily used. The boxing and
Grating shop alone cut three hum
dred thousand feet of lumber per
month for boxing and Grating MAJ
chimes. To drive the machinery in
this enormous affair six stationary
engines are required, which have the
combined strength of one thousand
horse power. Four hundred men
are employed in the fou ldry, which
melts up sixty tons of iron every day
in the week. Just imagine "A two
acre field filled every day with cast
ings for sewing machines. The ne
cessity for this great factory is the
constant demand for the Genuine
Singer machine, AS the following will

out the world were Genuine Singers.
and the following year they increas-
ed their sales over one hundred and
thirty eight thousand, and during
the year 1880 they sold over half "A
million Genuine Singer Machines.
Still the demand is greater than the
supply, as subordinate offices often
have to wait for machines. To those
who contemplate buying we would
say: Be on the safe side and buy
the Genuine Singer, and don't be
humbugged with some new kind OF
machine that has lately come out,
and has no reputation or merit what
ever. If you wish Genuine Singer

The Sultan and Satan.

There is an eastern story of Sultan who
oversight himself, so as not to awaken at
the hour of prayer. So the devil came and
walked him, and told him to pray. "Who
are your" said the Sultan. 80, no matter"
replied the other; "my act is good, is it
not +? No matter who does the good action,
so long as it is good" Eyes" replied the
Sultan, but think you are Satan. 1 know
your face; you have some bad motive
"But, says the other, Z" am not SO bad
am painted. You see / have left off m.
horns and tail. / am pretty good fellow.
after all. was an angel once, and / still
keep some of my original goodness. THAT s
all very well, replied the sagacious and
prudent Caliph, shut you are the tempter
that's your business and I wish to know
Why you want me to get up and pray. "
Well, said the devil, with flirt of i'm
patience, " if you must know, | will tell
you. If you had slept and forgotten your
prayers you would have been sorry for it
afterward and penitent but; if you go on,
as now, and do not neglect single prayer
for ten years, you will be so satisfied with
yourself that ii will be worse for you than
if you had missed one sometimes and re
pcnted of it. God loves your fault mixed
with penitence, more than your virtue sea-
soned with pride.

Camel Riding.

The complaints which have been made
of the difficulty of riding camel-of
the headache and nausea it causes-pro-
ceed, in Gen. Colston's opinion, from
travellers who do not know how to ride
them. After the rider has once mas
tered the art of mounting and dismount-
ing, there is no further trouble, and any
one accustomed to horseback may, in
the Generals opinion, learn in single
day to ride and manage the camel. "He
is the most docile and manageable of
all animals, excepting only the Egyptian
donkey" The simple art of easy camel
riding consists chiefly iu not permitting
your camel to walk, except in deep sand
or over steep, rocky ground, where you
cannot help it. "There is not a more
back-breaking, skin-abrading motion
than camel's walk but, if you press
him into a gentle pace, which is the
natural gait of dromedary, he moves
both legs on the same side together.
Thus he will go all day, with perfect
ease to you, and no fatigue to himself, at
the rate of about five miles an hour. In
that gait his motion feels exactly like
that Of a very easy trotting horse, though,
of course, camels are like horses, some
moving easier than others. With every
increase of the rapidity of his gait, he
goes rougher." The higher speed of the
dromedary enables the traveller to ride
ON in advance, and take two or three
rests in the course of day, in order to
allow the slower burden camels to come
up. But they all camp together at

An Enemy to Singing Birds.

The crow is exterminating the sing
ing birds of New England. Few are the
nests that escape his vigilant search,
and fewer still the young birds that do
not go to satisfy his ravenous appetite
and fill his capacious NAV. L have
watched and cursed them for years. 1
have seen them pounce upon the nest of
the lark and of the plover: I have seen
them leaving the nest of the robin with
the young in their beaks. For several
years watched the return of pair of
robins to an old apple tree near my
house, where they had built their nest
and reared their young. One morning
heard the piercing cry of the old birds,
foreboding danger and distress. ran
to the window just in time to see a crow
fly from the tree with q young robin in
his mouth. In less than five minutes
the crow returned, dived into the tree,
and this time the last of my half grown
pet robins was borne away.-Manches

The Persecution of the Jews.

The Jews have been from all time an
exclusive people; pride of race and con-
tempt of the Gentiles round about them
distinguished them already in the days
when they warred against the Amalekites.
They sincerely and truly believed that it
was not pleasing to Him that His children
should act like the peoples round about
them. Eighteen centuries OF cruel, sense
less prosecutions, of enforced exclusion
from intermixture with other nations, of
inter-marriage in small communities,
have intensified all the distinctive physi-
cal and mental features of the Jews, SO
that not only their good but their bad
Qualities have become accentuated. Not
even the eighteenth century, 80 ready to
boast on its enlightenment, had opened
the gates of the Ghetto and accorded
civil liberties to people who, OF all peo-
pies, are peace-loving, law-abidlng and
least likely to abuse these privileges.
The gates have now been thrown down,
the liberties freely granted, and it is
difficult to foretell what the Jew will be
few centuries shence-lndeed, II there will
be Jews left at all. They are far too as
similative, far too keen-sighted, not to be
affected by and to recognize the propri-
ety inherent in, the cosmopolitan ten
denotes of the present day. For our-
selves, we have no faith in the schemes
of enthusiasts portrayed by Daniel
Deronda and his friend Mordecai, in the
national restoration of the Jewish people,
and feel convinced that, were theattempt
made, it would result in a mere exodus
of the scum of the population. What
has distinguished the Jewish people and
kept them a nation so long is the fact
that their nationality is notrooted in the
land from which they have SO long been
absent, but in the law, which they can
bear about with them everywhere. The
jews arc at present in a transitional state.
1t is commonly said it takes three gener-
ations to make a gentleman. 1t must
certainly take as long to obhterate all
the cruel memories of Christian oppress-
ion thatlinger among those whose grand
fathers remember the pressure OF disa-
bling glaws.-Erchan0e.

AdulteratiOn in Vienna.

They have in Vienna an organization
for the preservation of the public health,
which watches closely the articles sold
for food, and from time to time has sam
pies chemically analyzed. Investiga-
tions of this character we're conducted
on an extensive scale during the past
year. OF milk $50 specimens were an
alyzed. Most of it had been skinned
and diluted with water. Some had
come from diseased COWS, and some was
thickened with borax, soda and soap.
Butter was analyzed to the extent of 210
samples. All of it contained an excess
sive proportion of water, and much of it
was adulterated with beef fat, lard or
stearine. Lard, coming from America
and Hungary, had borax and lime. OF
!, 100 specimens examined of Hungarian
and Austrian wine, fifty-two were of
artificial concoction. Artificial coloring
matter and excessive proportions of
water were found in many. Pilsener
beer contained soda and Vienna beer
glycerine. OF liquors, seventy-three
had traces of arsenic or copper. beside
injurious flavoring and perfuming in
gradients. Ground coffee was mainly
roasted grain, acorns and chicory. Even
bread was badly adulterated.

Cobblers Who Went Beyond Their Last.

No one but shoemaker could nave
thought Coleridge serious in his strange
saying that the shoemaker's bench had
produced more eminent men than any
other handicraft. The Shoe and Leath-
er Reporter has, however, compiled a
"bill of particulars in the shape of a
list of famous cobblers, which seems to
act as an effectual estopel on all jealous
craftsmen. Hans Christian Andersen,
who needs no introduction, may head
the list, and Hans Sachs, of Nuremberg,
who, though he made shoes all his life,
yet also made 5000 poems, plays, farces
and rhyming fables, may be put next.
Sir Cloudesley Shovel was o shoemaker
until he enlisted in the navy, and so was
Sir Christopher Minns, another English
Admiral. John Hewson, one of Crom-
wells Colonels, and a signer of Charles
I. IS death warrant Samuel Bradburn,
the Demosthenes of Methodism," as
well as Bishop; James Lackinton,
whose catalogue of publications reached
the total-enormous for that time-of
30, 900 volumes, in 1787-all these were
cobblers at first, if not at the last. Con-
tinuing the English list, William Gift
ford, whose memory is preserved by a
complimentary allusion in Byron's "En-
glish Bards and Scotch Reviewers" and
whose body is buried in Westminster
Abbey George Fox, the arch Quaker /;
William Carey, missionary famous a
century ago, and who read the proofs of
the Bible in twenty-seven Oriental Ian
guages Samuel Drew, "the Locke of
the nineteenth century," whose expert
ence as an author led him to formulate
the sad truth that 6" the man who makes
shoes is sure of his wages, but the man
who makes books is never sure of any
thing; ;" Thomas Holcroft, whose name
is not nearly SO we'll known as that of a
single one Of his plays, The Road to
Ruin" the Bloomfield brothers, whom
Byron thus apostrophized
Ye tuneful cobblers, still your notes prolong,
Compose at once a slipper and a song;
John Pounds, whom school-children
cried at being turned away from-all
these and lesser lights too numerous to
mention were English shoemakers.
Coming to our own country, Roger
Sherman, one of the "signers," leads
the list in time, but Vice President Hen
ry Wilson in rank. Beside these were
Congressman Sheffey and Noah Worces-
ter, not the photographer, but the
founder of the Massachusetts, Peace So
ciety. And ex-Govs. II. p. Baldwin, OF
Michigan, and William Clafin, of Mas
sachusetts, if they never made shoes, at
least dealt in them largely enough to be
named here. Altogether, the list is suffi-
GENTLY imposing and convincing to justi.
fly verdict in favor of Coleridge's say.

Immigrants.

1t has been estimated that the average
sum possessed by each immigrant when
he lands on our shores is somewhere
about $50. The largest sum OF
money are brought over by men over
so years old, and represent the saving
of lifetime, carried here for investment.
The people who can best be relied upon
to reduce the general average of capital
introduced by immigrants are the Slavon-
ians and Polanders. A great many of
them have to be helped with small sums
to get them away to places in the West
where they wish to settle. The Holland
ers, on the other hand, frugal, industri-
GUS and clean, come pretty well provid-
ed with money, as a rule, and are, apart
from considerations of personal beauty,
among the pleasantest to look at. One
of the most curious distinctive peculiari-
ties of the costume of their women is q
strange sort of helmet, made of brass,
silver or gold, according to the wealth of
the wearer, filagree work or exquisitely
chased-a thin sheet of metal, closely
fitting the head, and worn under
snowy linen cap. On each side the
thing comes down on the temples in
sort of metallic curl. They all wear
wooden shoes, and it is really amusing
tc see the children, even little toddles
just beginning to walk, clattering about,
easily and securely, in the clumsy sabots.
Of all immigrants the Germans are least
demonstrative in meeting their friends.
Hearty hand shakings, sometimes a
solemnly administered kiss on the cheek,
and an explosive "So!" or formal "Wie
gaetes?" are about all they generally
indulge in. But that their hearts are as
warm and their affection as deeply stirred
as any other persons may easily be
read in their tear-moistened eyes and the
happy smiles that light up their counten-
ances. The Russians are great kissers.
The Italians greet with noisy laughter,
kisses, and irrerressible chatter. But of
all the wild welcomings, those of the
Irish are the most vigorous. Shouts,
embraces, CALCULATIONS of "Glory be to
God!" "The saints be with us"
"Alannah, and the like, make the raf-
ters ring. In cases where children liv-
ing and prospering have sent for parents
to join them, the greetings are even
more wildly enthusiastic.-Neao York

Keeping His Place.

"You know Jones, said Rogers; ''con-
found him, I don't believe he cares for
nothin'. Once he went yachting with us,
and while we wos all admirin' the sea and
the scenery, there he sot and sot on the
edge of the boat with his legs danglin'
over, readin' book, and didn't seem to
care for nothin', and the gals went up to
him and talked to him, and all they could
get out was yes or mo, till they give
It up as bad job. All of n sudden there
came on squall and the boat she gave
"a lurch, and before we knowed what had
happened he'd been pitched overheard
into the water, and when We fished him
out, would you believe it, he mad his
thumb on the place wh.re he'd stopped
reading when lie went down"

Caught Up With.

Jonas Haywood, who, on the night of April
10th last, pummeled Thomas Forsythe with a
heavy revolver and finally shot and killed him
instantly, at Washington, Pennsylvania, was
arrested by the Sheriff OF Cloude County,
Kansas, a few days ago. and was brought back
to Washington and lodged in jail. Haywood is
a coal-miner by occupation. He says that he
killed man in Utah some time ago, but claims
that it was in self-defense. He has two wives,
one in Illinois and the other in Indiana. He
also has fair charmer in Republic County.
She is said to be very respectable girl and
is now attending the Normal College at Con-
cordia. Haywood says, if he is cleared, he will
make his home in Kansas with her.
