restaurant, the virtues of whose cuisine
may be vouched for more safely than
those of its patrons. In the next two
squares open, Haunting vice holds sway.
The brass buttoned embodiment of the

no fear in the painted French Jezebels,
who lean from their little windows.
Crossing the Gable Road, which runs up
California Street, one plunges at step
into section of the Celestial Empire.
In the shadow of St. Mary's Cathedral,
which marks the southern limit of g Chi

loathsome than any dens of vice in New
York. Passing along the street one sees
Chinese stores on either side, hears the
cries of Chinese street-venders, which
bear strong resemblance to the wall

Iooked-yes-as if he had been crying.
"Can you ever forgive usa" said
Mabel, piteously. She lowered about
him like a little mother. She made him
drink two glasses of wine; she mended
his coat; she asked him if he would NOT

Profiting by an Arctic Voyage.

Nordenskjold's Arctic achievements.
The Government has recently purchased
in Sweden three fast steamers, which
are about to be dispatched to Semipala-
tinsk, Siberian town close to the Rus
so-Chinese frontier. The route TO be
taken by these vessels is the following:
Round the Norwegian coast, through
the White Sea, past Novaja-Semija to
the Cara Sea, and thence up the River
Old. In Tobolsk they will find await
ing them several large transports of
small draught, laden with military stores,
and carrying strong reinforcements OF
troops destined for service against the
Chinese army, should the conn lications
still pending between Pekin and St. Pc
tersburg result in war. Taking these in
tow the steamers will proceed up the
Irtitch to Semipalatinsk, whence few
forced marches will bring the troops to
the Chinese frontier. By this expedient
an enormous saving of time and fatigue
to the soldiery will be effected in con-
veying reinforcements from Russia
proper 10 the extreme eastern limits of
the Empire.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

DURING the recent severe storm in
Germany, the subterranean lines of
telegraphy have proved so much better
than the others that the German Gov
eminent now proposes asking the
Reichstag for authority to greatly ex-
tend the underground system.
AN ingenious machine has been de-
vised for separating the sound cranber-
ries in barrel from the unsound. They
are poured into it at the rate of six bar
rels an hour, and the sound ones, hay
ing elasticity, bound over barrier,
while those decayed remain.
THE thread for the glass cloth, now
made at Pittsburgh, is drawn out of
molten bar by means of a rapidly re-
volving wheel at the rate of 1000 yards
minute. The weaving is done on
looms, about the same as with silk.
The coloring is done with minerals when
the glass is originally melted.
WHEN potatoes are frozen, the amount
of sugar they contain is doubled, the
starch undergoing corresponding d.
minution, while part of the protein
passes from the coagulable into the solu-
BILE form. During the process of rotting
the potato loses half its heterogeneous con.
stituents and the whole of the sugar.
BERLIN IS preparing for an lnterna-
tional exhibition in 1882 or 1883, illus
trating the history and development OF
railways and the various systems of rail-
way construction, together with rolling
stock and railway material of all de.
scriptions.
VARIOUS trees in equinoctial regions
produce caoutchouc, or "India-rub-
ber;" but our own continent furnishes
the most productive in various species
of Hovea-tall trees which form huge
forests in Brazil. The sap is gathered
and thickened, much as we get sugar
from maple trees in the Eastern States.
THERE are six moss factories in New
Orleans and vicinity. All the moss
ginned is shipped abroad, as the furni-
ture manufacturers donot buy it ginned,
preferring to pick and clean it them
selves. The total amount paid for the
rough moss by the ginners, upholsterers,
and mattress-makers of the city is above
$500, 200 per year.
AN invention which will considerably
influence architecture and sculpture has
just been made by DR.. Gehring at Land
shut, in Bavaria. DIR. Gehring, by
means of an enameling liquid, renders
any kind of stone or cement harder than
granite, and gives it the absolute and
indeiible appearance of any other min
eral that may be desired. The enamel
may also be applied to metal, which it
is said to completely protect from rust.
THE orange crop of Jamaica, Flor
ida, Havana and Louisiana, it is said
in New York, will prove as extensive as
ever before, and oranges from those
places will no longer command the
fancy prices at which they were sold a
few years ago. Barrels holding from
400 to 500 really fine oranges will sell
for about So, and very fancy fruit may
bring as high as IS. The orange crop
of Italy and Spain is an abundant one
this season, and extra Messina and
Sicily oranges will be sold ON the
streets by the holidays for less than ten
cents per dozen. Valencias, the most
delicious of the Mediterranean oranges,
will be both abundant and cheap in the
early spring.

ODE-TO A BABY.


SWEET kid! gaze upon thee with a sense
OF wonder. 1t is hard to understand
How thou can'st be SO small. See how i'm
mense
Appears my fist beside thy little hand!
And yet that little hand is far from weak.
Thou get'st it in my hair and givst yank
With pain and agony almost Shrek;
Thy mother laughs and you enjoy the prank,
Thy conversation is not marked by wit,
Yet at the table thou from all dost get
Attention close. And those who near thee sit
Are all prepared to jump when you upset
A glass or o'erturn the cream.
Not only at the table do folks take
Great notice of thee. All policemen seem
Much interested in thee; talk they make
With the fair maid who dost thy car propel;
So rapt do they become she drops her hold
The carriage starts; adown the hill you're
rolled?
The maiden screams, the officer pursues.
Useless! Into a fat man with bump
Your carriage rolls 1t gives that man the
blues,
For you and he are mixed in one grand
dump.
Thou art picked up and to thy home con-
veyed;
Nor aught of the catastrophe is said,
The night comes on and thou in bed art laid,
And now gaze upon thee in the dead
OF night, ere myself do drop to sleep,
Good night, dear baby. Welcome slumber-
POUNDS!
What's this Ihear? My flesh begins to creep.
The child is waking. Well l know those
sounds.
iInust get up ant, walk Win thee an hour.
I'd rather sleep, but thy sweet will is law.
You've got voice of forty fog horn power.
Oh, drat your pelt, why can't you hold your
jawi Boston Post.

The rough life passed away from him.

Two men are litigating at Elizabeth

place in 1855. The defendant bought q
negro of the plaintiff, but finding the
slave unsound made the plaintiff take
him back. Plaintiff discovered that the
negro was unfit for work, and in 1869
brought suit to recover his value. The
case is still on. The plaintiff is seventy

JEFFERsONVILLE CRUMBS. u

All our school teachers were present
at the Teachers Meeting, last Friday
and Saturday. We understand that it
was the largest and best meeting that
has ever been held in the county. JEFF
fersonville had twelve representiyes.
James Straley is having his store
room cleaned up in good style before
starting into business. Several changes
will be made in the building, and we
presume a first-class room will be made
out of it. Mr.. Straley will bring on his
goods about the first of March. With
six firms we cannot complain OfnOt hav-
ing plenty of groceries. Prices should
be very cheap hereafter.
The railroad committee worked very
earnestly getting subscriptions; they
took large amount of stock themselves,
and that along with the good work they
obtained, certainly claims great praise
for them. When the cars begin to run
on our great trunk line we can then see
what has been going on the last few
weeks. Times will be better and every
body feel encouraged and prosperous.
J. w. Fent moved his stock of gro
ceries into the Terrell room, below
Howard S shop, last week, in order to
vacate the room he occupied for James
Straley. The present room is very
small for such a business, but we under
stand that Mr.. Fent intends erecting a
store room on Water street, below the
Hurless House. We have not learned
the size of the proposed building, but
suppose he will build large structure.

ately inscribed in each case. The pro-
vocation for the Gaming was that Mr..
Flick had been a member of the last
General Assembly, Mr.. Blakemore a
retiring chairman of the Board Of Su-
pervisOrs, and Or. Connett the COro-
ner of the county, and that they had
faithfully and efficiently performed the
duties of the several positions to which
they had been chosen.
w. E. Crum, Esq, on behalf of
friends present and absent, presented
to Mr.. Flick cane-a handsome ebony
affair, with a gold head and an inscrip-

vice it was designed to commemorate
in happy speech which we regret the
that lack of space precludes us from
reproducing. Mr., George Van HOuten,
in like manner, presented to DIR. Com
nett similar token of esteem, and
Mark Atkinson, Esq, made the pre-
sentarion address in Mr.. Blakemore's
case. Each of the gentlemen compli-
mented made neat responses, acknOwl-
edging the kindness which prompted
the gift. Messrs. Flick and Connett
will use the canes received as a support
in their declining years, the one being
a Pennsylvania and the other Hoo

man." and OHIO men have no declining
years, if we may judge of future years
by the past four. We can't say, there
fore, what use he will make of it, but
from our knowledge of the man, we
are quite sure he will not make bad
use of ii"
"Chip" is not only an "OhiO man,

of being a native of Washington c. H.,
where the best grade of "Ohio men"

that he is properly appreciated in his
adapted home in the West.
