Lack Of Economy in America.

Americans, whether rich or POOR,
know but little more ah.ut economy in

Some families must breakfast either on

expense Of choice cuts. because they

Bile people will eat twice us much with

better physical balance. yet they will
lot do more work. Some wives will
ave the price Of ton of coal by re-
making for one Of the children an old
dress or suit Of clothes; some others,
seeming TO be destitute either of tact.
skill or inclination, must buy everything
new or &c! withcnt. Economy Is 4
science which quite number Of men
and women have mastered by close OBJ

DO not seem 10 know of its existence.

who didn't seem to fancy the turn things
had taken. Especially was he "buck-

ell III his best style to do the occasion
only as a mule can perform. The negro
was thrown from the mules back when
the now thoroughly frightened animal
ran away with the wagon loaded with
the mule, which Hp to the tinfe had been
unable to regain his feet! 1t was quite
a funny escapade--the flying wagon

4 Fortune Left a Wealthy Man.

Mr.. w. A. Collins. a gentleman well
and favorably known in Cincinnati, has
come into a good run of luck, of which
his many friends will be pleased to learn.
Mr.. Collins has an uncle, who had re-
sided for a number of years back in
Paris, in which city he recently died.
He left fortune Of 81, 500, 900, and by
the terms Of his will this large amount
Of money is divided among six relatives,
one of them being Mr.. Collins. The
latter is also made executor of the es-
tate, and is now preparing to take pos
session. Nothing has been said about
the matter, as the heirs are perfectly
aware of the fact that in oyerhauliny
the estate another will may be found
which will put different face on the
matter. Butwhile this is possible, it is
not at all probable.
Mr.. Collins was formerly one OF the
proprietors of the Chronicle. and, after
disposing of his interest in that paper
some years ago, located in the South,
and was engaged in operating an ex-
tensive plantation in Florida. He was
afterwards connected with the press Of
Louisville, and has recently returned to
that city. At present he holds position
on the editorial staff of the Telegraph.
He is graceful writer, with the faculty
of making his words cut when the oc-
casion demands; is gentleman of the
most pleasing type, and one to whom
kind fortune comes deservedly.

Texas farmers are determined to adopt
this .prightly foreigner. But it does
not always pay to import foreign birds.
Look. for example, at the English SPAR

ever did when we invited that corpulent
little Britisher TO come and live among
us. We thought he was gentleman
among birds. He was not. He is a

That eminent millionaire and philau.
thropist Of New York. Peter Cooper.
was noted for his plain manners and uh-
more style than did this old merchant,
whose daily income exceeded the young
mans yearly salary. A correspondent
Of the Rochester Democrat gives several
"reminiscences Of the old gentleman.
which indicate that his quiet ways ex-
pressed his character.
Forty years ago, when the noted
phiianthropist was merely q business
man, ] tfsed to see the sign upon the
warehouse in Buriing Slip Peter Cooper
Glue and Iron Wire.
How little did then imagine the dis
tinction this name would hold both in
enterprise and benevolence. The Office
was very small, and erytiing had a
quiet look. for it was In fact merely =
place Of taking orders which were served
from the factories
The quiet, fnethotlical man who sat at
the chief desk might have been taken by
stranger for a retired mechanic who
had become clerk. He spoke in calm
and subducd tone, and resemblcd one
OF the mere favored members Of the
working class.
Such indeed he was, and in that light
he always viewed himself, and hercc his
memory now stands before the public
as one Of the most wonderful mechanics
i'm the worlds history.
Next door TO Cooper, and under the
same roof. was seen the plaif, and un-
pretending sign, Cyrus w. Field. Rags. |"
Here tail young man, With Yankee
accent, purchased paper stock for the
New England mills, and here the chif-
foniers and rag pickcrs found ! market
for their gathering.
Under such circumstances Field and
Cooper became acquainted, and event
ually they united In the cable enterprise.

Blockades No Longer Possible.

According to an official report lately
published in the Marine FcorGaung's
Bldtt, it is the opinion of German naval
authorities that for the future an effect
we blockade has become impossible
The reasons given are that fleet would
always be obliged at sunset to gain the
open sea, and to remain sufficiently far
off 10 prevent torpedo boats issuing
from the harbor coming up to the yes
sells in the darkness. and not even
single ship could be left on guard in
sight of the port without risk, almost
amounting TO certainty, of being sunk
during the nighs: while the port would
remain open not only to light and
speedy cruisers, but TO any ship whose
entrance might be desired Under such
circumstances, the probability of few
torpedo boats lying hidden along the
coast would, it is thought, be sufficient
TO palalyze the action of the most
powerful squadron and prevent the pos
sibility of any serious operations.
