A Large Shipment Of Gold.

Over $4,000, 900 in broad, salmon col
ored bars or bricks of gold, OCCASIONAL,
darkly tinged with copper-like coating
arrived yesterday morning at the United
States Mint. They came in one hum
dred wooden boxes, about two feet
square and a foot deep. An express
wagon, with several custodians, carried
them, and they were rolled and dumped
into the weighing room like so mucE
lead. To the men in the Mint the daily
handling of fabulous sums of the pre-
cious metals begets an Indifference that
puts it on par with the commonest
merchandise. Not an ounce of it, how
ever, is free from the closest scrutiny
while within these walls. Although
man may walk in from the street and
stand at step before the open door OF
the weighing-room vault, where $780,
100000 is stored, with but single Off
cial in sight, it would need but the
slightest alarm to have score of men
with loaded weapons in their hands
standing on the spot. Unlike foreign
mints no display of armed protection to
the treasure is made, but the precautions
are nevertheless complete. The large
consignment yesterday came from the
Assayer's Office in New York. Each
contained ''melt,' or in other words
the entire refined contents of q crucible,
each varying in quantity, and every
brick was numbered. The men who dc
the heavy work opened the boxes, took
off the paper wrappings and piled the
bricks upon the scales. Then the clerk
weighed them and carried the bricks
into the'vault. The entire weight was
266,960.78 ounces Troy, or over eleven
tons. The actual net weight valuation
was So, ,104, ,466.31. If any one could
count thirty dollars every minute and
keep it up without stopping it would
take within fraction of four months tc
count this amount in coin. In the mint
all the counting is done by weight and
measure. Piles of various kinds of coin
are measured, and if they are of the re-
quisite number of inches each way and
the weight corresponds, the number and
value is set down far more accurately
than if the money had been counted by
the deftest fingers. Philadelphia Times.

A Vermont father had a lazy, shift
less son who everybody said ought to
have gone out and fed swine on small
salary, but who refused almost to feed
himself. Everybody agreed that he
was good-for-nothing, and one day
the old man ambled him out of the
house on the toe of his boot. The boy
went away and invented the lemon
squeezer, and in one year had enough
money in his pocket to buy his old dad
out ten times over. He made alto
gether $4,000 from his patent, and the
man he sold to made S100,000 in three
years. There are two morals here.
Kick your boy into the luck, and then
kick him again to keep him from selling
out at too low price.

The City Farmer.

When formerly a city man who had
made his "pile," and, as he drove
through the country and became fas-
cinated with the beauty of the growing
crops and things in general, would make
up his mind to try his hand at SO pleas
ant business his actions were care
fully watched by the old farmers and
his many blunders laughed at. He was
not satisfied to have things after the
fashion of the general farmer, he must
have them all much nicer and better,
and then he couldn't help but succeed.
He bought imported cattle, sheep, swine,
chickens and what not, the finest and
most expensive implements and farm
machinery, some of which had scarcely
been read of by agriculturists generally.
He hauled his manure from the city by
scores OF loads; guano was applied pro-
fusely and everything done ON scale
that threw all his neighbors entirely in
the shade. When they protested against
great deal of this useless expenditure
and waste of labor he would reply that
he had his own ideas about matters and
things, and as he thought they were an
improvement on the old fogyisms of the
day, he would try what he could do,
having no doubt of his entire success,
and others would be glad to follow him;
but no success followed, at least, not in
the shape or to the extent expected.
The next year was still less satisfactory,
as several of his fine cattle died from
over-feeding. The following year the fly
got into his wheat so as to leave not
more than one stalk standing where
there ought to be twenty. The worms
destroyed his apples. His potatoes rot
ted. Some rowing, worthless dogs killed
or mangled twenty of his Southdown
sheep in single night. The lightning
burnt down his barn. Hence, at the end
of five years he found that there was
neither pleasure nor profit in farming
in fact, he was quite sure of it. His fam
lily complained, too, of being away from
the city, from their friends, from par
ties, operas and theaters, and were ter
ribly tired, anyhow, of the country.
Papa, therefore, backed by his family,
who had come out with such eagerness
into the pure atmosphere of the hills
and valleys, sold out everything at half
its valae-houses, lands, stock, crops,
household goods and everything else,
root and branch, losing from $4,000 to
$40, 900, and went back from whence he
came, a wiser, if not richer man

Troglodyte from his matutinal slumbers
by alighting on his nose and buzzing
into his cOuntenance the trite and unin-
teresting announcement that it is sunrise,
and the first bell has just rung. No bird
except the house-fly does that. Fancy a
decent and respectable fowl-say the
ostrich-doing that sort of thing, and
then,when his Internal purpose is accom-
plished, retiring to his perch on the bed
post, before you can get whack at
him, to sharpen his fore-paw and wait
for you to get to sleep again. Did the
ostrich have the exasperating habits OF
the fly he would be extiminated. He
would not be tolerated even in a circus.
The ostrich, to be sure, is larger than
the fly, but the principle holds good:
why should we tolerate in the fly what
we should resent with a double
barreled gun in the ostrich? The truth
is, we are too tolerant of the fly. 1t has
often been remarked, but we take leave
to repeat it here and now, as being in
season, the fly is altogether too familiar
on short acquaintance.
And we are now just in the vestibule
Of the fly season. We are at the middle
of July, but the fly has only just en-
barked upon his midsummer career.
Now he winks at US from behind the
cubes of cut sugar, or filings himself in
playful gymnastics upon the ebon huckle-
berry. Already he begins to skate on
the butter dish and lave his fore-foot in
the inkstand; he viii presently infest
the cream pot and plunge madly into
the soup. Then come the dog-days, and
he prevails everywhere. Then one ex-
perienced fly in a bed chamber will do
the business of several muezzins, though
he wakes the sleepers to anything but
prayer; and family that keeps a fly
will have no use for an alarm-clock.
Then with the coming of dawn's roseate
hues, the suddenly awakened head of the
family will wildly fling his hand across
his nose and say things he will be soory
for, while the huttering bird that woke
him sits on the pillow taking a dry wash
and musing over the utter depravity OF
mankind. Such are the days that are
coming; such the experiences that are
in store. And for the next six weeks al
least we may be sure that to Mr.. Nal
locks earnest question ''Is life worth
living?' the human family will unani
mously respond, "Not in fy-time. IN
