First, he will do business. Ii he
can't do what he would like to do, he
will do what comes 10 hand. He was
not ashamed to buy and sell waste
paper.
Secondly, he viii attend promptly
to whatever business he may have on
hand. His notes will never 90 TO
protest, but will be met promptly.
Thirdly, he highly esteems his
honor.
Perhaps the lawyer might never
have known him after that note was
signed. Had he tried to collect the
note, he could not have found the boy
in that great city.
But he had given the note. and be.
sides, had assured the lawyer that it
was good, and now he must pay il or
his honor is furnished forever.
That boy keeps his honor bright
the sure passport to all success worth
having.
Any other boy can do as much. l;
matters little how poor he may be al
the start, with industry and honor liz
will succeed.
One of the wealthiest and most no.
bly, useful men about New York city
was a penniless lad. But he had q
high sense OF honor, and indefatigable
industry, so that once when he had
made promise to pay two dollars
toward the building of church and
saw no other way to get ii, he earned
1t by catching muskrats and selling
their skins. Now he gives lis thou.
sands and enjoys it.
Many who are now merchant pcin.
ces IN all our great cities began life in
poverty and obscurity. But they had
honor, and that is good capital-bet-
ter than money.
Let boy start ont with such re
ward for honor that it will lead hin
to tell the truth under every circum-
stance la which he may be placed
"a regard for bis word, which makes
the word as good as his note OF hand
and his note as good as his life-and
he will find friends worth having i'm
hours when friends are most need
e., and he will never know what il
means TO fail.

danger of destruction. The men 90 out

without any fish having been caught in

Glass Shingles.-Attcrbury & Co.,
Ilttsburg, have made new departure
III the use OF glass, patent having
recently been granted TO them for the
manufacture OF glass shingles. 1t is
claimed for this material that il is
more durable, stronger and more i'm.
pervious TO RAIN than slate or any o.
Their substance now used. The man.
u!acture OF these shingles will also be
comparatively inexpensive, and they
can be placed III position by any or
binary workman. These shingles
have the advantage ofslate in several
particulars. In consequence of their
shape they lie solid on the roof. and
50 can be used on comparatively flat
roofs, and they will admit OF persons
walking on them without danger OF
fracture, quality which slate does
not possess. They are interlocked so
asto leave no intersticcs between them
and one riyet holds each pair OF shin
giles, SO that they cannot be forced
from their places by wind OF 9th.
q atmospheric Disturbances. They
are also made so as TO have very lit
tie waste material. 1t takes 300
states, each SXl2 inches, to cover what
ls technically known as square oil
root Ga space measuring 10 feet either
way, but $50 OF these shingles will
snliico tor the same space. Glass is
likewise uoncouductor ofeicctricity,
aud houses with these roofs will need
no lightning conductors. Although
the Kind Of glass intended to be used
IN these shingles IL non-transparent
glass. A root with coiored border
and opalescent body is said to be very
handsome.

Wheeling Register: The widespread
suffering and immense losses that have
occurred hom the overflow of the Miss
issiPpi river will probably induce Con-
sFcss to undertake tue work OF thorough
protection FROM such terrible disasters
IN The future. There are many ongi-
neers who hold that there can be no Sc.
curity in lcvees composed OF sandy
earth when river hundred feet deem
washes against them. Men WHO have
known the Mississippi for half centu-
~ hold that the leyee system is utterly
insufficient. They hold that tho only
safety lies in opening the water courses
that dow into the gulf anil by which the
surplus water of the Mississippi can be
diverted from its channel.

Agricultural Progress.

A recent bulletin shows that the
number of farms in the United State
has increased from about 100000 in
1870, to little over 100000 in 1880, a
gain of Al per cent, while the popula-
ton in the same time increased only 30
per cent. The growth has largely
taken place in the Northwestern and
Pacific States and in the South.
Dakota has gained 9l4 per cent.
Texas 1856, Florida 1919, Oregon ia,
Washington Territory 100, Alabama
1902, Georgia 60, South Carolina 81,
and Virginia 60 per cent. Kentucky
and Tennessee have increased Al and
40 per cent. respectively. Ohio and
Illinois 25 per cent. each. and Indiana
20 per cent. Pennsylvania reports 90
per cent. and New York IL per cent.
New England is not wholly stagnant,
though the growth, as might be expected,
is not very large. That of Massachu-
sets is doubtless enormously reported
at As per cent, for the censue of 1870
was very loosely taken. There is an in
crease of 20 per cent. in Connecticut,
16 per cent. in Rhode Island, while
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont
return respectively 8, 8, and s per cent.
These fguses are all Encouraging, but
the counary would be better off were
they still higher.

Elephants All towards.

/ once had grand scrimmage with a
tigress, She had mauled my own tusk.
or badly, had crunched the mahout's
foot into jelly, while she caused me
to be thrown of. and, after mauling
two other elephants, not badly. she
had forced rs 10 retreat for the time,
rs il got dark, aud not IN animal would
go near her: We had 10 howdahs. Next
MORNING We found her dead, and took
her into camp. AS an experiment We
had the tuskers brought to the front,
My own beast, which was badly msuled
about the head and jowl, and had its
back feariully cut by the charah ropes,
went mp To her ut once when told, and
struck the carcass with its trunk, and
stood by unconcernedly; but none OF
the other five tuskers would 60 near
her. They were then jammed together
and driven forward They advanced
with heads lowered until their tusks
plowed up the ground, uttering most
pitiful cries. When within II yard or
so of the dead tigress, they jerked mp
their heads, scattering earth upon the
body, Notwithstanding the punishment
they received from their mahouts,
broke away and ran for their lives 1t
was the most absurd sight ever saw.
The next day, although the place where
we were encamped was us bare of vege-
tation and level Us II billiard table, not
an elephant would advance alone. TO
drink water or to be bathed. The
bheel was not one hundred yards Off;
each of the mahouts holding on to u
tip OF the car of an elephant, led them
in body down toward the water.
Suddenly Young tusker, Jerry, which
had been born in captivity and WAS of
most uncertain temper, trumpeted
and bolted, followed by every animal
in camp; and il gave us a great dea! of
trouble to recapture them, one tusker,
who had wandered upward OF fifty
miles, not being recovered for n week.
There was not the slightest cause for
this stampede. 1t Interfered with our
sport considerably; but i'll u few days
the elephants appeared to have got over
their panic, and allowed us To kill guar,
buffaloes and other game off them
without showing and undue fear. ]
have always found elephants born in
captivity most uncertain in their tenn
pers. They lOsse all fear of man. while,
from not being accustomed to wild
beasts, they dread them, and are thus
useless for sport. The London Field

A TexaIs New York Adventure.
From the New York World.

Mr.. Henry q. Client, OF Texas, who
has been staying ut the Fifth Avenue
hotel for several days, has amused him.
self by wandering about the city and
watching tho people pase along tho
crowded thoroughfares. While watch
ing the shifting crowd on Broadway last
Wednesday, he was accosted by well
dressed young man, who said:
"How do you do Morgan?"
MY name IL not Morgan" said MIR.
Client, II am Mr.. Client, Oh Texas"
IL beg your pardon; trust you will
forgive me for my stupidity. Geod dry,
SIR"
A few minutes ufterward another
young man approached Mr., Client and
said:
Can l be mistaken? Is not this Mr..
Client, of Texas?"
"Yes, sir, but l don't know YOU said
Mr.. Client.
"You don't know mel Why, think
moment; I'm nephew OF Senator
Maxey."
This was sufficient introduction, and
Mr.. Client joined the nephew in a walk,
and finally was induced to visit Brook
Ign with him. In the course of the
evening MIR. Client lost some money in
a confidence game, but it did not occur
to him that he had been swindled until
after he had returned to New York.
His acquaintance evaded discussion of
the subject when Mr.. Client mentioned
his suspicion, and left him as quickly rs
n "A
til police, who yesterday caused the
arrest of Frank Hammond, who was
identified by Mr.. Client as his compar.
ion of the evening before. Hammond
was committed at Jefferson Market.
