taste oi the owner. In the rurai districts
Of the Territory. by which is meant all
parts outside OF the half-dozen or 80

rarely, II ever, exceed one story in height,
and are constructed very much after the
pattern Of the baekwoodslnan's shanty,
With fat roof, earth floor. etc. I'm the

ing appearance, in some instances reach
Ing two and even three stories in height.

London Penny Papers.

Indeed, good journal-that is. q
journal equal as regards Typography and
thickness OF paper to the Ttnses-could
not, even with advertisements, be pro-
duced for Id. at ALL The cost of the
material on which to print would ulti-
mately crush it. The loss is, we believe.
Slight on each copy, so slight that if the
copper unit were, as it would be under
Q decimal system, five farthi7gs, half
the tenth OF forin, the whole difficulty
would be removed. ANY loss, no matter
what, if multiplied by 100, 900 day, be-
comes ruinous; and newspaper proprie-
tors are compelled, by the pressure of
the penny, to give us abominable paper,
often too fimsy to hold together in a
high wind, to postpone the intellectual
matter OF the paper to advertisements.
and to use type which must be ruinous
to the eyes of the next generation, and
which, wherever light is at all deficient,
Is indescribably harassing They are
compelled to insist on condensation in
the methods of reporting, which to pub
hc speakers and suitors in courts con-
stantly involves extreme injustice, and
to cut down Parliamentary debates until
they are positively and visibly diminish

The Old-Fashioned Banker.

The old-fashioned banker used to go
to his office so punctually that you might
set a town clock by him. when he
dlned at the club or hostel he used to
observe the manners of his customers
and, if he thought them extravagant,
he showed them little mercy in the
shop or the sweating room" He
would stay in the office until the ac.
counts were balanced; and we have
known OF clerks being kept up for hours
until the error OF penny could be rec.
tilted. Old Simeon, of Cambridge. gave
man twenty pounds to detect the er-
ror OF penny in his accounts. The
old-fashioned bankers were the men
who kept up to the last the powder and
plg-tail, the top-boots and e-breeches.
The half holiday was an institution
totally unknown. The country bankers
sent up to town heavy parcels by Pick
ford van, guard with blunderbuss
keeping watch over them. In those
days OF expensive postage it was GREAT
object to send letters by private hands
A manchester bank calculated that il
saved the pay of two clerks by this
system. Ii any of their customers were
found to have booked places at the
coach offices it was soon arranged that
they should take letters to town. Sir
Rowland Hills innovations have no.
where been more efficacious than in tbe
province of banking. The banker in
Old times never concerned himself with
literature. He would be regarded az
going to professional perdifion. he
would be looked upon as the Cambridge
candidate for honors who falls in love Or
betakes himself to poetry. When the
news came to Lord Chief Justice Ellen
borough that young banker named
Rogers had just published a poem on
1.-The Pleasures of Memory he ex-
claimed, " Ii old Gozzy''-alludinp to
the respective head of the firm with
which he was banking" ever SO much
as says good thing, let alone writing.
1 viii close my account with him the
next morning!'' An absurd story is
told OF an old banker, of a single pint of
porter being invariably placed at the
bottom of the staircase for his laundress
In course of time the pint Eas exchanged
for pot. A customer forthwith re-
monstrated with him: Unjust saw, Sir.
that II you go on doubling your expen-
dltures at that rate, it may be time for |
your customers to look after their hal,

Winter Treatment Of Hens.

Hens must have comfortable and con-
venlent quarters in winter. Most neople
Keep too many hens for the accommoda-
tions they furnish them. Hens are nat
urally active animals, and when confined
In winter quarters require plenty of
room, Five hens and five roosters. of
all ordinary breeds should have 6 house
24xl6 in the clear and ten feet high in
the clear. This will allow about seventy
cubic feet OF space for each fowl, which
is little enough. No class of animals is
SO susceptible to the i'll effects of crowd
ing as the feathered class. Hens will
not lay when too much crowded. nor
will they remain healthy long if too
many are skept together. The building
should be well ventilated by chimney
without admitting any gusts or draughts
OF wind. 1t should face the sonth if
posslble, and have several windows in
front: Where the weather gets very
cold it will be well to have the whole
front glazed and have stove inside.
Hens cannot lay unless they are kent
comfortable, and when the Temperature
rails to ten degrees, or lower, they re-
qulre little artificial heat. This heat
must be carefully managed; little fire
only should be kept, and it should be AZ
steady as possible. Uniformity of tenn
perature is what is wanted. The houses
must be kept clean and neat. The floors
should be swept every day, and be dust
ed over with dry earth, ashes, chaff.
short straw, or litter of any kind that
can be easily removed. Every hen house
should have plenty of suitable roosts.
There should be shallow box or bin in
one corner--a sunny corner is best
containing dry earth, ashes, ship dirt
or mixture of them for the hens to
wallow in. They enjoy their bath in
winter as much as in summer. Where
oyster shells cannot be easily procured
there should be box containing gravel
within reach of the fowls. A sufficient
number OF nest boxes with glass nest
eggs In them, several shallow vessels for
water, and feed trough will complete
the necessary outfit for the hen house. A
very important adjunct to the hen house
is an open shed where the fowls can
stay at pleasure when the weather is not
too cold. Such shed should protect the
hens from the prevailing winds. West.

AFTER PATTI had sung in St.
Louis recently, the preachers-pious
soUls-held a meeting, when one of
their number denounced the sweet
singer as he would a st. Louis cy-
prian, because of her intimacy with
Nicolini. He also upbraided those
who attended her concerts as fos-
tering and encouraging immortality.
That preacher may be one of the
purest men outside Of an imbecile
asylum, but experience and Obser-
walton both teach the propriety of
watching such highly moral profess
Sors, if it be desirable to unearth
corruption. The POSt-DiSpatch, in
purest and keenest sarcasm,
sneers over the matter in this fash
ion: "The time is coming, we pre-
sumo, when the personal and pri-
Yate relations Of all the public citi-
Zens of SG.;Louis will be scrutin-
lied, and when immoral perform
ances come along, only such persons
as have been guilty of offenses
against the public morals will be al
lowed to go and see them. Still
this will not prevent them from do
ing fair business"

In ANOTHER part Of this issue OF
the HERALD, 2 correspondent ex-
presses his opposition to the chattel
mortgage bill which was before the
Legislature when the communica-
ton was written, but which has
since been killed. AS IN ali proba-
bility similar measure will come
before the Lawmakers fo- adoption,
NE publish what Index" has to
say, to show how weak an argument
may be presented against the bill.
In their wisdom the legislatures of
pretty nearly every state in the
Union have provided for chattel
mortgages. and merchants and
business men have long felt the
need for law here whereby cred
itor may be secured against the
trickery or dishonesty of the debtor.
We do net understand why the man
who has only personal property
should not have the privilege of So
curing his creditor BY mortgage,
as well as he who owns real estate,
and it strikes US that the honest NAN
who proposes to pay his debts,
would as soen mortgage his furni-
ture or other movable goods as his
home. Everybody should be OPP
posed to mortgages, just as everyone
ought to object TO debt; but if debts
are necessary, as they certainly are,
provision for their payment should
be none the less so. A chattel mort
gage does not mean that the deutor
must be robbed; it merely implies
that he shall not defraud his credi-
tor. If the Legislature can make
law to keep people out of debt, then
there will be no occasion for a law
TO secure the payment of debts;
but IS people will incur obligations,
laws should be made for the protec-
ton Of those who trust as well as
Tor those who borrow.

A NEW YORK reporter has been
making investigations and spinning
tale which viii not have the effect
of adding to the appetizing qualities
of cheap teas for some time to come.
The other day he visited the ruins
of some burned bonded warehouses,
where over 100000 pounds of tea
had been stored. Workmen were
shoveling out the refuse, much of
the tea being smoked and saturated
with salt water pumped from the
East River. 1t was taken out "in
the shape Of a coarse black mud,
plentifully mixed with cinders and
other rubbish. This is piled up in
great heaps on the South street
sidewalks, and the roadway for a
considerable distance is strewn with
a layer of it, half foot thick, which
the feet of workmen and pedestrians
is tramping constantly into filth,
Every day or two these heaps are
sold to the highest bidder on
condition of immediate removal. ,
The reporter interviewed pur-
ehasers of the filth as to what they
did with the stuff, and learned that
it was partly cleaned and sold again
as tea. One buyer said he had
some of the rubbish dried, sifted
and re-colored, and sold it at profit
of 500 per cent. ito one of the great
tea concerns of the country" A
fellow does not object to toe nails,
locks of negro wool, bits of bark,
rusty nails and pieces Of coal in his
plug tobacco, but the muck of the
streets in tea is too much for good
nature.

IT WILL be remembered that the
Associated Press report of a speech
delivered by jeff Davis in New Or
leans the other evening, put some
remarkably wild and silly language
into the mouth of the President of
the defunct Confederacy. Davis was
alleged to have said the Lost
Cause" was not lost, and also sug-
gested something about issues being
fought over again. 1t seemed strange
that he should have been SO Teck-
less, not to say foolish, us to express
such sentiments twenty years after
his cause was dead and buried. A
verbatim report of the entire speech
has been published, which shows
that instead of the foolish talk at
tributed to hlm Davis said frankly
and periodically that the existence
Of the best government the world
ever saw is indissolubly bound up
in the principles for which the
Confederates fought; and he urged
his hearers to be ever ready to fight
for the Union. as he would be will
ling to unsheath his sword for its
preservation. Now and then a
great man loses his reason and ne
yer regains it, but Jeff Davis has
manifested evidences of returning
sense ever since his hasty fight of
sixteen years ago.

THE CHICAGO newspapers tell
that Mayor Harrison, of that city,
has received a letter from lady in
Boston who says that she lives on
Shawmut avenue, is cultivated, has
a taste for the aesthetic in litera-
ture and art, and 100000 in bank;
is but IS years old, and is anxious to
be mayors bride. If this gushing
damsel, who seems to be so well
s'heeled" mentally, morally, inan-
cially and lovingly, is willing to
compromise on an alderman, a
councillor or a policeman, she might
be readily accommodated, but mar
riageable mayors are scarce this
wear.
