pRECocIoUS DEPENDENCY.

PHILLIP HENSEL, q boy thirteen
wears old, in Scranton, Pa, being dis
charged on account of dull times from
a market where Ice worked, was inter-
cepted by his mother standing on a
chair with rope around his neck at
tached To beam. The motive that he
gave for his rash intent was that he was
of no use to anybody and had no friends.
What means the mother took to con-
vince him that he had friend is not
stated in the dispatch. The incident,
however, presents a sad as well "a
grotesuue side. 1t is unnatural and
really lamentable that child should so
early come under the full weight Of
life's responsibilities rs topronounce his
existence a failure the moment he was
discharged FROM employment. Too
many children are discouraged beyond
the endurance oftheir sensitive natures
and q certain consequent temporary
morbidness, when announcement, al
lowances or praise. Even those who
make missteps in school or college, or
their early business relationships, may
be safely instructed that the world AZ
fords abundant opportunities for their
correction. In addition to the neglect
Of parents in this particular many
young people have to struggle against
a good deal of false sermonizing and
vicious Sunday school teaching con-
corning the fatality Of the first misstep.
Many people require the tender uu-
trained minds and characters of chill

APHAROAH LAYOUT.


Gueuces Of the closing of the Red Sea
ports by the cholera is the detention at
Marseilles of the expedition fitted out
at an expense of Sl5O, 900 by company
formed at the instigation Of the Able
MOIGNO, for the purpose OF exploring
the bottom of the Red Sea and recov-
er,ng the chariots, treasure, arms and
other remains Of PHARoAH's host.
Compared with this project, the schemes
of Col. SELLERS and De LESSEPS dwin-
die into commonplace insigniticanre,
and even the periodical search for the
lll.gotten but admirably concealed 6 lins
of c rplain KIDD seem tame. The faith
of the Able MOlGNO is clearly OF the
sturdiest kind, for he is ready TO back it
I'D with works that would put pretty
heavy strain upon the common variety
of confidence in the historical accuracy
of the Old Testament. Almost the only
parallel case on record is that of Yam
kee farmer named MARBLE, who mort
gagged his farm and expended the pro-
ceeds in blasting hole in the solid rock
on the strength of his faith in a clair
voyant's declaration that Captain
KIDD's treasure was slowed away in the
geological strata of the Laurentian
period in that vicinity. The INSULT.
cheney of the appropriation prevented
Mr.. MARBLE from sinking his shaft
moe than a hundred feet or so, and he
had the bad luck to die before he could
acquire some more property to mort
gage for continuing the search for the
buccaneers bonanza, and to this day
not any treasure has been removed from
MARBLE'- mine. Plenty of room is
there yet, however, for several galleon
loads of dubloCnS, and when the Able
MoIGNo shall have recovered PHA'
RoAH'S wreckage ne may buy some
powder and go prospecting along the
CohasSet river.
We hope the good Able may not be
disappointed in his undertaking, but a.
no edition of the Old Testament has
been issued containing reliable map
by Surveyor NOSES showing the pre-.
else locality ofthe drowning accident,
it seems as though Interpretations would
be involved in some uncertainty. If it
costs as much to fish up the war tip
carts of the Egyptians as it does to inn
prove New jersey creek by dredging
scOw load of mud under government
contract, the capital of the Abbe's COM
pany will be about large enough to Sc"
cure one wheel track. 1t is to be hoped
that the Abbe'ssarchmOlogical knowl-
edge is extensive enough to enable him
to distinguish between the helmet ola
drowned Egyptian and the obsolete
oyster can thrown overheard by some
Yankee tourist doing" the Holy Land
at the rate of forty miles an hour. 1t
would be very painful to see the trust
ing Able imposed upon by any such Dr.
CEsNOLIAN antiquity rs all oyster can.
Rather than have that happen it would
Re better to send somebody ahead to
anchor whole PHARoAH layout in
the Red Sea, where it would be most
readily fished up. This would encour-
age the Able, and, after finding the
plant, he might organize company to
find LoT'S wife and supply the world
with salt to take with some ancient
tales.

uLTrERACY W.. INEFPlCIENcY.

We are told how many adults there
are in the United States who cannot
read; but viii anybody tell US how
many people over eighteen years OF age
there are who cannot dig" and are
not ASHAMED to beg? The army OF
dependents, exclusive Of those dear and
honorable objects of our care, the aged
and the invalid, is dangerously large.
For the voluntary loafeis and depend
ents we offer no plea. But for the un-
fortunate class, by no means small In
any part Of the country, whose
independence comes from inabil-
ity to do anything wsrth doing, and
whose inability comes from the careful
way in which they have been educated
to do anything, We have word of SYM
PATTY. Ii is there misfortune rather
than their fault that they are good for
nothing, or what is equally bad, only
good for something not wanted. Every.
body knows such people. They apply
in crowds for every known vacancy
They have ali instructive aiiliation with
vacancies of all kinds. On the princi-
pie of the man who boldly sold his dog
as a capital coon hunter, simply because
he had tried him in every way and
found he was good for nothing else,
hey 60 for employment everywhere.
The merchant who wants clerk,
bookkeeper, salesman, or traveller and
ventures TO let his wants be
known, has his store beseiged by
them. The school committeeman sor-
rowfully disappoints ninety-nine of
them whenever he appoints one really
competent teacher. The clergyman
who proundly thought he had escaped
all worldly occupations, finds himself
regarded as the natural protector Of all
sorts of incapsbles aud their sufficient
friend in shop or at court. The editor
who's supposed to combine philanthropy
with business, aches vicsriously with
them all day long. And yet these ac-
tive and public non-eompetentsa are but
the overflow of deep measures of the
same material in nearly all our homes
girls ambtitiouSly trained to make u
public appearance when their probable
and happier calling is to make a private
disappearance; and boys, nicely raised
to run just the length of their fathers
purse and then drop. All ofthem have
probably been taught in school, to
speak and write the cipher, bat the
weightier matter of getting somethins
of their own to say or write or add up,
has not been attended to. By all means
let the ilhteracy Of the country be scaled
down, but let the equal evil Of ineffi-
cheney b. abated. Ofthe two society
suffers more from the latter than the
former

TON.
The Knights Templar were so shah
billy treated In Chicago year ago thst
some dissatisfaction is expressed at
the decision of the San Francisco hotel
keepers not to offer special rates during
the conclave soon to be held there. But
the difficulty at Chicago was caused by
extortion, and not by the simple exac-
ton of ordinary rates, and the visitors
to San Francisco have reason TO be
thankful that they are assured enter
tainment at the usual prices. The ho-
tells of the California metropolis are
very large and fine, and the crowd Of
participants and visitors OF the grand
conclave will doubtless be able to find
enough to eat and comfortable places
in which to sleep. But it's doubtful if
they will not confess to themselves, Sc
cretIy, that the demonstration is fool
ish. The parades which are designed
to promote military discipline and in
dustrial enterprise are about the only
ones worth what they cost.

THE SCHOOLS FOR COOKING.

Mrs. LIMA MORGASSTERN, the
founder Of the peoples kitchens which
have accomplished so much good in
Berling during the sixteen years, has
written alsrge book, Die NoLKUCHES,
to describe her work. The excellent
feature of the system established by her
in the German capital is that it does not
PIT premium on mendicancy while
furnishing instruction for all who wish
1t in the preparation Of cheap aud nu-
tritious food. The society founded by
Mrs. MoRGASSTERS has accumulated
nearly $4,000 Of capital, and it main
tains fourteen public kitchens, aud a
great number of people obtain
wholesome food at a very low price.
Tie leading ladies of Berlin have given
the enterprise encouragement, Empress
Augusta herself having manifested y
personal in its success.
The establishment ofsimilar kitchens
n New York would be u great boon, not
only in furnishing instruction to null
titude who ought 10 know how to COOK
properly and do not, but also in provid-
ing wholesome food at q moderate
price to persons who now eat the
abominable fare of third or fourth rate
restaurants. Fortunately, it has be-
come the fashion to learn to cook, no:
only among fine ladies in Europe, but
also among those in America, and it is
desirable to have the fashion prevail
permanently, in order that every
female on the globe may take pride in
her proficiency as a cook. 1t is not to
be wondered that this Is 3 world Of
wicksdpPss when it is considered what
wretcbedly cooked food the msJority Of
PEOPLE in it are compelled to eat

UNPADDED THOUGHTS.

Beware of the over civil stranger and
the tattering friend; both have axes to
grind.
The best man is he who meets the duties
Of life with the least trouble to his neigh
bors. The best citizen is he whose obejI.
ence to the law is as ready as his service to
his country is prompt.
The door of hope swings easily for the
poor; however dark the cloud, we know
there is brightness beyond. However
dark the day or deep the sorrow, hope
never leaves US, but whispers all is not
lost while life is left.
To the vulgar, the most learned argument
and the most ringing eloquepce are as
nanght compared with the honeyed words
of ilattery. and thstcunning and hypocrisy
with which the crafty and ambitious
schemer cloaks his dark designs.
Attach yourself firmly to something sub
stsptial in life; strive TO make yourself felt
in the community in which you live by
giving weight to both purse and character.
Be not like straws, at the mercy Of every
idle creeze. Security aud soidity are in
separable, but the light and changable
search for them in vain.

The people of the southern states, who
Own most OF the real estate and pay the

Atlanta Railroad Record, IN speaking of
what railroads have done Tor the state of

veopment in that direction new routes
have been opened to good markets, and an
incentive has been given to the agricultural
Us well as the manufacturing calling.
The showing for lSSl, as com cared with
1870, shows over 20 per cent Increase in
corn, 900 per cent IN oats, 2OOin wheat 10 in
rye, 100 IN potatoes, 500 in cane and sor'
ghum, and II similar increase in yield OF
other farm and garden products. In 1870
Georgia riiSed il3,9A bales OF cotton. In
1857 the production was 925, 443 bales, the
crop being raised on 26l, 1l3 acres less than
was the crop OF Sli,4 bales in 1850. This
increase is the result Of improved methods
aud more attention to business,
The value of the iarm products of the
state Is estimated at 1928, 100000, which is
Sl5OOO,OOO more than in 1870,
These important facts are not developed
by the census of 1850, but by the increment
thereof, the past two years having shown
great progress on the part OF the southern
states generally. The penetration of rail
roads In that section has brought obscure
points close to distributiye points, and re-
sOly,d inertia into activity.
