IT was in the campaign of 1860, when
Stephen A. Douglas was running for
President, and Beverly Tucker was one
of his ardent supporters. They had
dined in company, and the wine had
flowed freely. Having changed his seat
near the close of the feast, Douglas
threw his arm affectionately around
Tucker, and said, "Bev., when am
elected President, what shall L do for
you?" Doug, replied Tucker, "when
you are elected President, all shall ask
of you will be to put your arm around
me, and call me Bey."

THE practical effects of drinking con-
taminated well water are clear enough
in report of the experience of the fam
ilv of Theodore Engle, who lives near
Cuba, Fulton county, Ill. Some
months ago typhus fever appeared in the
family, which at that time consisted of
father, mother and ten children, and
since then seven members of the family
the mother and six children-have
died of the dread disease and its effects.
There is but little or no doubt the fever
was ut first caused by impure water used
by the family from well that had not
been cleaned out for years. When the
attending physician was first called, his
attention was at first directed to the well
and he had it investigated. The person
employed promptly and emphatically

under a sentimental cover spread over it
by the attempt on the Presidents life, it

indeed. and if you address a head waiter
as 'kellner" he pays 10 more attention to
you than if Mr.. Smith was addressed as
Mr.. Brown. Such outward civility toward
domestic servants indicates radical
changes, more consideration toward them,
greater self-respect among themselves and
many other improvements. Let English
travellers, therefore, be on their guard, for
any failing here is set down as bad man
ners, and no amount OF ~trinkgeld" will
atone for haughtiness or incivility toward
their so-called '~'inferors."

THRIFTY

That the women of America are thrifty
is shown in the report of the special
agent Of the Census Office just pub
lished. From this it appears that, omit
ting the 6 per cents, the foreign holders,
and the banks, there are 1914, 800, 400 Of
four. four and half, and five per cent
bonds to be distributed throughout the
country. The total number of holders
Is 70, ia, and of these AZ, 1852 are males
and %, 1925 females, and 1927 are cor
porations. The average per capita for
the male holders is S7,S4l "a; for the
female holders, S3.OSl 10. From this it
is to be gathered that there must be a
good many rich women in the United

raE srAMpEDE TO AMERICA.

The report of Mr.. Nimmo, Government
.t.t;stician, that the number of immi-
grants arriving in the United States dur
ing the year ending June, 1881, was
officially eco. 239, and really several hun
dred thousand more, naturally begets
great establishment. The biggest number
arriving during any previous year was
s27. 81 in 1880. But the arrivals in New
York from the LIST Of January to the LIST
of July, this year, were 240, 900, indi-
eating that the aggregate immigration
of the next fiscal year will be the greatest
in the history of the country. As the
actual number of arrivals during the
last year Appropriated 10000. it is
estimated by some that the number dur
ing the year to come will be 100000.
The magnitude of such an addition to u
population in a single year is not appre-
ciated until it is remembered that it
almost equals one-seventieth of the in
habitants of the Republic. Such'a move
ment from Europe to America amounts to
nothing less than a stampede. The oun
tries of the Old World where most dis
tress, or apprehension of it exists, are
the ones from whence the exodus to the
United States is greatest. 1t is believed
by many that Germany will lose 100000
inhabitants this year by emigration. Dis
and want drove 66, 399 Irishmen
their native land to the United
States during 1850. and the number is
likely to be greater this year. Bismarck's
tyranny and England's oppression are
driving the people of two countries to
America by tens of thousands. The
prosperity Of the United States draws
them, while distress at home drives them
across the Atlantic.

TERRIFIC COLLISION.

Fourteen heavily-laden fruit cars broke
away from a train on the Chicago and st.

of eighty feet to the mile. A locomotive
went in pursuit and made a brisk chase,
but gravity proved too much for steam,
and the runaway cars were soon thunder
ing along at the rate of thirty miles an

the track, but it could not be obeyed
quick enough by one train of cars, from
which the occupants escaped just in time
to avoid death in a of the most violent
collisions that ever happened.
