Uncle Sammy COndoIes.


 We can imagine how Mir. Bookwalter, the novice, looked into the eyes of MT. Tilden, the expert, and asked him for aid and friend ly counsel. II am afraid" we can hear Samuel mutter, ''that you have played the game too openly. Now a barrel''-and MT. Tilden glues his cold lips to the shrinking ear from Springfeld-'ta barrel to be valua- ble must be kept out of view. Let the boys get smell of it, but don't put it up in pub lie sight"
 T understand" says Mir. Barrelwalter, faintly
 ''Now am told, D says Uncle Sammy still in that hoarse whisper, ''that you took your barrel up on an express car, that you sent it to the convention on 8 dray, that you placed it upon the platform, and that you had five hundred men in the gallery pointing at the cask and shouting There it is There it isl Nominate it Nominate it!' Am I, or am I not, correctly informed as to these par ticulars?'
 ''You are wrong," says MT. Barrelwalter eagerly; five did not keep it in plain sight. My manager MT. Ballentine, sat on it, and covered it with his coat-tails."
 stIn law and in fact, y whispers Sammy, 'it was still in sight Mir. Ballentine, thus seat ed, became 8 fixture attached to the reality. (See Blackstone, Kent and Bill Heisley. Bal lentine was Barrel; Barrel was Ballentine and Barreltine became Bookwalter. You catch the legal drift, see. We'll, never would have done things so openly. You ought to have kept it in the cellar, covered with the American flag, the constitution, my letter of acceptance and Frank Hurd's tariff resolution"
 'But, unseen. how could it have helped me through2 Who would have known it was there?'
 Mr. Tilden pushed MT. Bookwalter back into the sunlight at the window, took his chin in his hand, raised the Ohio head up at an angle of forty five degrees, and took & long, long look. He then let go, moved back a pace, and shook his head.
 q see, see," he resumed sadly after 8 moment. "Greenl greenl greenl"
 "In my eye ?" asked the gentleman from Ohio.
 "Everywherel Everywherel How long have you been Democrat ?"
 ''Six years"
 s'And how long politician ?''
 "Six months.''
 seMy son, ,, and the old gentleman keyed his voice to plaintive note, 1T would never venture into the water until I knew how to swim. But, only six years Democrat only six months politician-how could you know of that fine Democratic scent that leads 8 Democratic manager to a barrel through thick and thin, over stone walls, across wa ter through fire and storm Young man, you have much to learn. But the mischief is done now. It is little help can give you. "
 t'Is hope all lost, then?'
 ssOne thing only you can do. You have shown the barrel-empty it. Fill it up and empty it again. And again. And again. Of course it cannot elect you, but 1t will make fun for the boys. And what" said Mir. Til den as he showed his guest to the door, "so lightens one's way to the tomb as to do good unto his fellow man-to bestow without re- turn, to be open handed without the expecta- ton of reward - s

An Englishman has plan for an under ground railroad in Naples which he hopes to have adopted by the municipality. The de- sign is to put all the central points of the city, the suburbs and the hill villages in easy and quick communication with each other. The line, beginning at Fuori- Grotta, will em- brace the whole semi-circle of hills, running under them in tunnels through the tufa rock, and communicating by means of elevators with line on the top of the hill, which will connect the different villages there situated.
 On the seashore, at the Marina, the subter- ranean line will become an open air one. re- entering the tunnels near the arsenal, and running under the city to Mergellina, thus completing the circle. .sshile intersecting linss will connect all the central points of the city. Most of the tunneling will be in the bosom of the hills, with double lines. The tufa is easy to cut and very safe, as is proved by the many existing quarries, all the houses in Naples being built,of this stone. The tun- nels running under the streets of the city will be only 1,sOO metres long, and none of them pass actually under the houses, for they fol- low the line of the middle of the streets at a maximum depth of eleven metres. The whole length of the lines is about 22,oco metres. The line at the top of the Vomero (the hill at the back of the city) will be on the reduced, or narrow guage system, but the lower and underground railway will have the usual guage, and thus be capable of di- rect connection with the proposed now short line from Rome, coming through Pozzuoli. and connect it with the present central sta tion of Naples.

2 The New Orleans Densocrat publishes an elaborate article upon the subject of the su-
 gar industry in Louisiana. The facts stated
 are that although the production of sugar is
 not nearly as extensive as it was before the
 war, it is assuming proportions where the
 scarcity of labor will interfere with it's fur
 ther extension Very many of the planta-
 tions producing in the ante-bellum days SUI
 gar in greater or less quantity are now not
 only worthless for present profit. but cannot
 be reclaimed with the present available la
 Dor; in short, this particular industry, if it
 is to be revived to any considerable degree,
 can only be renewed and maintained by the
 immigration of white labor. But this brings
 the DemocrGt to the discussion of the ques- ton of immigration, and it is entirely frank in its treatment of the subject It declares that there is no inducements held out to im- migrants, that no preparation is eaade to re- ceive them if they should come, and proves conclusiyely both that there is nd prospect

 From the report for the year 1880 which has recently been issued in England by the Committee of Council on Education, it is evident that so far as the matter of money is concerned school teachers in the United States are much more comfortably situated than their English brothers and sisters Yet the London Times says that nothing is more satisfactory in the report than the statistics given to show the improvement in the scale of pay and in the profess sional position of certifcated teachers which has lately taken place. .'' Out of some 13,- 900 masters there are thousand who are earning more than $1, 900 g year, with houses, and out of 5000 school mistresses there are nearly three hundred earning ths same. The average annual pay of sscertif- scated" masters, however, amounts to only about $635, while school mattresses receive only about $36o, though about one-third of them are provided with houses rent free.

Owing to the climate of New Orleans len- ons are in great demand there, and steps are being taken to supply the market with lem ons direct from Sicily by line of steamers between New Orleans and Mediterranean ports It is thought that cotton trade can be built up by means of this line that will be profitable to consumer and seller. Spain consumes about BOG, 900 bales of cot ton and Italy 100, 900, which these countries could receive direct instead of by transpor- tation from other parts of Europe. With g regular line of steamers running constantly and at stated intervals, New Orleans would become the point of export for many articles of commerce from large area of country in the West and the Mississippi valley.
