Glittering GeneraIities.

A Chicago damsel who was visiting in
New York was describing her home to
friend and spoke of the beautiful foot
you mean by foot-rests?" asked her fair
companion. And St. Louis young lady
who happened to be present said: why,
balconies, to be sure"
A powerful memory, discretion in the
use of interrogdtorieS concerning the
weather and the health of his customers
and a knowledge Of human nature which
will guide him in the choice of facial ex-
preston to exhibit to each buyer, are
the prime re luisites for a successful re-
tail cigar dealer, according to the Chica-
60 Herald.
Justice Field, of the United States SUI
preme court, says that the internal ma
chine recently sent him was received by
him in Washington on January is, 1866,
and that an account of it was published
next day. The judge further said that
the man who was always suspected OF
sending the machine died several years
ago, and that the strange part of his ac-
ton was that the decision respecting the
title to the ground on which SanFrancisco
stands was really beneficial to the man,
although he believed himself to be ruin
ed hereby, and hence sought to kill the
judge.
Joseph Kautz, an educated German
living in New York, claims to have in
vented two machines by which the air is
to be navigated with such facility and at
such small cost that soon after their in
PRODUCTION railroads and steamers will 60
out of existence. One of the inventions.
he states, is balloon that can be steered
with or against the wind at any speed,
or it can be made to stand still in the
air. The second invention is regular
flying machine, to be lifted main
ly by gas, but to he propelled by steam.
Mr.. Kautz says that this machine will be
able to travel 500 miles in an hour.
Five years ago Gov. Stanford bought
$4,000 worth of trotting stock in Orange
county, New York, and sent them to his
farm in California. A few days ago
eight promising young trotters, the re-
suit of breeding experiment, were
shipped to New York and the owner
proposes to beat the fastest New York
can match against them. The governor
has appropriated the Kentucky scheme
of selling the feetest and finest horses
in the world, and then breeding others
that come along in due time and pluck
the laurels.
The New York Sun has had three in
quiries addressed to it, one Of which it
refuses to answer because it is villianous,
the second silly, the third vulgar. The
villianous request is to know where
counterfeit money for gambling can be
had. The silly one is the request for the
address of a young man who recently
described himself as wanting to marry
but did not care to love. She judges him
rather an attractive person, and would
like to correspond with him, partly for
the divine passion" The third is re-
quest to decide bet whether a certain
young woman's figure, a description of
which is furnished by her dressmaker,
is well built, good figure and pretty.
1t is not every day in the year rascal
an idiot and libertine ask questions of
the same newspaper.
The vigor of the United States as a
wealth producer is partly frittered away
in extravagant household expenses, in
the waste of the careless and the thefts
of the dishonest among its servants, and
in paying off an immense debt and the
annual interest upon it. If its affairs
were economically administered, if its
people were no longer expected to con-
tribute monthly nearly SIS ,00O, 900 in re-
duction of national liabilities, its
debt being extinguished, and if its
producers were relieved of taxation to
the amount of these changes, what pros
perity would it tantalize the unhappy
European family, which is even now adj
miring or envious of the wealth accumu-
lated under unfavorable conditions
