But her son sprang quickly In front Of
his father, Marston's arm encircled him,
and the boy, with a quick embrace,
screamed:
"Papar'
Mrs. Marston had by this time reached
the bedside, saying, Jelly: '
"Mr. Marston. allow me to suggest"
Excuse me, madame" said /, "but
he cannot hear you. He is in another
world now"
Then Mrs. Marston broke into tears
and pitiful EXPLANATIONS, for although
her heart was very small, il was not
bad For almost five minutes L was
compelled to respect her; after that,
however, her lamentations were all for
herself, so, after promising to arrange
the details of the funeral, and saying a
few words to the boy, with the hope
that he would understand that l would
always try to be father to him, de-
parted. r.l .,f.-.s H.a .t-
A day or two after Mrs. Marston gave
me a sealed envelope, addressed to me,
that she found under her husband s pill
low.

Marston's death, asking me if would
redeem the articles and save them for
his son; they had been pawned for mon
ey that his wife wanted when he could
not take penny out of his business
without running himself.
Among them found a watch, an op-
era-glass, two meerschaum pipes, some
club badges, q silver cup with an in
scription that showed it had been given
Marston when he was a baby, a hand
some copy of Shakespeare, a velvet
dressing-gown, a sword, that its owner
had worn during the war; q gold-headed
cane, and many small articles of Jewell
ry, including the dead mans wedding
ring.
Mrs. Marston became resigned to the
will of Providence when | told her that
the good will and stock of the shop
would bring q thousand dollars. Her
mourning garments became her peculiar
style of beauty SO well that she found
great comfort in them, but soon put
them off at the solicitation of dashing
young broker, who, l hope, will marry
her, for she has fully as much heart as a
man of his kind will appreciate, and
will relieve him of any anxiety as to
what to do with his money. Her son
promises to, become fine fellow, and
has friend who will see that he never
repeats his father blunder of marrying
a girl merely for her beauty. john Hub.

FACTS AND FIGURES.


The st. Louis Post says the street
sprinkling company of that city cleared
S239,500 ON its business last year.
Large deposits of roofing slate have
been discovered in Berks County, Pa,
and would be opened Immediately.
1t is estimated that in Great Britain
31S, l51 persons are engaged in under
ground work, conducted in galleries ex-
tending 5S,744 miles.
1t is estimated that the total length
of submarine telegraph cables in the
world is 62,l00 miles, having money
value of about 5000, 900, 900.
The emigration from Switzerland
last year was the greatest on record,
the number of emigrants who left the
country in 1881 having been 1926,
against 1886 in 1880, and 4,2SS in 1879.
BY far the greater proportion of them
were from German Switzerland.
Last year the German wire mills
supplied England with $4,000 tons of
wire, and Russia with 10000 tons.
France received from Germany from
u, 900 to $4,000 tons of steel wire for
sofa springs, and America not less than
30,0 900 tons from the same source.
There are fifty-seven oil mills now
in operation or being constructed in the
South and along the Mississippi River,
distributed as follows: Ten in Tennes-
see; nine each in Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texar; eight in Arkansas; six in AL
ALBANIA; two in Georgia; two in Mis-
souri,, and one each in South Carolina
and Illinois.
1t is estimated that 100, 900, 90 feet
of logs were cut on the head-waters of
the KenLebec last winter, which, with
the 100000 feet of old logs chung
up'' along the tributaries, will make a
drive of 115,000,000 feet to be fioated
down the river. Last year the drive was
the cleanest ever made, owing to the CO.
pious rains, and $50, 1000, 600 feet of tim
Der came down.
There are many expensive bridges
and trestles between Binghamton and
Elmira on the Lackawanna Road. Near
Waverly there is bridge 1000 feet
long approached with 1000 feet of tres
tie. which cost $4,000 About six
miles west of that place is bridge 600
feet long with 1850 feet of trestle.
There are two or three others about the
same length within a short distance Of
each other. '.r.
The importation of potatoes has be-
come of great Importance to dealers and
consumers. The total receipts at New
York in January, February and March
were 1882 barrels, or 2,22S,527
bushels At 20 cents per bushel (Which
is about the wholesale price received by
the importers), the potatoes were worth
81, 559, 969, and the customs duty yield
ed revenue to the Government of
1884, 279. A large proportion of these
potatoes came from the four ports of
Glasgow, London, Liverpool and Hull.
About one twenty-seventh came from
the continent. '"

a OUR NEWSMAN.

His name was Ellis Marston; this /
learned without any special desire to
know it from the bill which he rem
dered monthly for the daily papers that
he delivered at my house. The bill it.
self, being for! q small amount, was one
OF the sort that man last remembers
when in the humor for paying bills, so
L saw its makers name several times
before paid it.
One morning our servant told me,
while was at breakfast, that a gentle
man, who desired to see me, was in the
parlor; he had not given her his card,
and she had not fully understood his
name. l found the early caller to be
Ellis Marston, my newsman, but | was
not at all surprised that the servant had
unhesitatingly admitted him, and an
nounced him as a gentleman, for he
had refined face and good manners,
while his clothes, although far from
new, fitted him well, and were of taste
full cut < : t'i e'f-.r = VA W
In paying his bill l made as many
apologies as l would have done to any
gentleman whom had subjected to de-
lay and annoyance. AS while waiting
for me, he had opened volume of
Browning that lay upon the table, and
had not closed it up to the time that 1
entered the room, l promptly assumed
that he had more literary taste than the
generality of men in his business. and
a moment or two of conversation, be-
gun haphazard, upon the book in his
hand satisfied me, not only that L was
right, but that he knew far more than
about modern English poetry.
At that particular hour my time was
precious, and my mind crowded with
interests temporarily more precious
than poetry; so to express in some
way, and quickly, the respect which
the mans manner had exacted, | in
creased my order by asking him to
serve me with several weeklies and
monthlies that had been in the habit
OF purchasing at whatever newsstand
/ first saw them on, and his pleased ex-
preston as he made note of my order,
and bowed himself out, put me on very
good terms with myself for the re-
mainder of the day.
So seldom had / seen man who
seemed superior to his position in life,
that Ellis Marston's face presented it
self frequently to my memory during
several days thatfollowedY so one even
ing, obtaining his address from his bill
head, strolled out to crafty my Curl
osity about the man. .alrj
| found him i'll little shop, fairly
filed with periodicals and stationery,
with a small circulating library on
Shelves at the rear.
An order for a foreign review was the
excuse for the visit, which ! prolonged
by offering him good cigar which he
lighted with evident satisfaction, and
we soon engaged in a pleasant CHAT
| looked over the titles Of the volumes
IN his circulating library, ard expressed
my surprise that the general public read

the manufacturer than the West.
The original Liberian Coffee trees
planted on the west bank of the ra>
vine continue to thrive with few ex~
exceptions, due to the attacks of
fungoid growths at the root, This
plot has been infested now six years,
the fungus having originally shown
its presence in the sudden decay OF
Tonga bean tree in the prime of
life. Two other trees are now seri~
ously affected, and during last year
two OF the Liberian Coffee trees were
killed outright.
This fungoid growth has twice or
thrice during the last few years de-
veloped the usual spore- bearing
plates of great size and cork-like con-
sistence as characteristic of the Poly
pored, which this is species, and
which have been most DESTROYS to
obtain fully matured to send for de-
termination to Kew, but regal ded by
every one as a suitable thing to de-
StrOy, I have been so far prevented
securing suitable specimen.
1t should be understood that this
fungus is not OF the character of that
intesting the Coffee plantations of
Ceylon and other places, nor has it
the tecundity or power to extend of
that pest-attacking as it does the
roots only. 1t is however one of the
kinds commonly met with in badly
cultivated cane fields and which, as
often happens, directly occasions the
familiar cane disease or blight or
accompanies and ..greatly aggravates
this malady.
A similar species is often met with
in cacao plantations, more or less de
pressing or killing off with greater O
less rapidity young and old tree
/, ,lF=IESs a. &C. Tine fEagus itself, as also c
course, its spores, or seeds, remail
active in the spot for a long while
after the tree attacked has disap
peared; and even when the soil il
turned up, is often passed unnoticeo
by ordinary observers.
Thus, new plant being put in to
replace the old one, its roots are i'm
mediately attacked, especially if it be
put in with leaf or vegetable mould,
it fails to thrive and often dies soon
after being planted. This circum'
stance has given rise to the rather
superstitious notion amongst cacao
planters that where one tree dies
another must not be planted for it
will be sure to fail. This notion l
need not say IS quite erroneous
The remedy is deep tillage, and
exposure Of the soil to light and at
mospheric influences tor time; a
moderate application (dusting> OF
very finely puiverised sulphut and
lime, especially if the soil be deficient
in this latter important ingredient.
