Many merchants have gone from
failure to fortune, his reverse having
taught him wholesome lessons-les-
sons dearly bought but valuable, be-
cause learned in the school of expert
ence. The planters of this peerless
country have found the all-cotton sys-
tenn worse than Waterloo. Is there
no manhood, no nerve, no vigor, no
phenix-like element in their natures,
that will enable them to rise from the
ashes of their desolation, to rebuild
their waste places and overcome the
obstacles in their path to prosperity !?
True manhood, like truth, though
crushed to earth will rise again"
Economic laws like the laws of ma
ture and of natures God, are inexor-
able-he who obeys them will -four
ish, he who defies them will fail!

Time, the destroyer of most things,
gives to violins an almost indefinite
value and Importance. The Joan
Caroline violin is three hundred and
twenty years old, and is in an almost
perfect state Of preservation. Two
thousand dollars is common price
for Stradivarius. On one occasion
fifteen hundred acres of land were
given for Stainer violin, and as por-
lions of the city of Pittsburg are now
built upon the land it may well be
said to have been the largest price
ever paid for violin.

The magnificent mantle which the
czarina will wear at the coming coro-
nation is made of cloth of gold Dor
dered with armorial bearings embroi-
dered in silk and gems. The crown
placed on her head will be the one
used at the coronation of the Empress
Catherine II. and Elizabeth. Its value
is estimated at 100000 roubles, and
it is composed of diamonds, rubies
and a large number of pearls. In her

From these it appears that the
women were early in seeing their des-
tiny, a dozen of them marrying before
the age of twenty to every single
man who was ready to double up.
Between the ages of twenty and
twenty-five it will be noticed that
masculinity came manfully forward
and tried to make up for lost time
and missed opportunities. But still
the women had about one-fourth the
best of the race. The twenty-five
year post once passed, however, man,
proud man, began letting out his
links, and woman, lovely woman, had
to draw on the young and flighty
ranks of those who started early to
keep up her end of the game. After
this the drafts on the twenty -yearlings
grow relatively greater as each year
goes by, until between seventy and
ninety, fifteen men cannot find a mate
of their own age.
The table is very defective in not
telling The age of the fair creature
who nursed the declining years of the
octogenarian. Was she under twenty,
or was she fat, fair and forty? With
this problem unsolved how vain is the
pleasure afforded by all the other. If
any one thinks these show that men
are more willing to marry as they
grow older than women, the Herald
would suggest that willingness to
marry and marrying are two very diff
ferent things. 1t rather proves that
old men are better able to find young
er women willing to marry them.
Young men very seldom care to ven
ture on matrimony with women old
enough to be their grandmothers,
while young women, experience shows,
seem to think a great grandfather
age is no objection in a husband.

however, that recently this was not
the case with one dispatch. 1t read as

TINE LONDON BARNARD.
An Insolent and Ill-Treated Creature.


The barkeeper in London is barkeep-
eress. She is fraud; sometimes she is
lady, but not often. If she has been,
she has usually gotten bravely over it.
Not but she is square enough for Lon
don, but she is Q bad investment in the
matrimonial market, where there is
more of her offering than is bid for. She
usually wears black dress; and short,
banged hair. A writer in the Wichita
Times says girl with her hair banged
looks like an unruly COW with a board
over her face. Well, fortunately, the
COW is behind the fence in the London
bar and she don't butt il down to in
crease the danger of the honestly
thirsty visitor, who quaffs his slowly
furnished glass In enjoyment, harshly
qualified with the pertness Of the crea.
ture who serves it. The barmaid comes
from nobody knows where, and conceals
her removal from active service in the
same description of mystery. She never
looks happy, and her lot, like the po-
liceman in the PIRATES of Penzance, is
not happy one. She will not make
haste, she will get the wrong drink, the
wrong drinker, and the wrong change
before the man who never treats. She
is assumptive of a dignity that rests
upon her uneasily; free of language,
which she stabs with ungrammati-
eal sentences and tortpres with mispro-
nunciations; scornful of flattery that
does not elevate her to the first place in
the gallery of British Beauties, resentful
Of ordinary business courtesy, tardy in
service, impertinent in reply and ipso-
lent in demeanor. Well, she has cause.
She is the subject of conflicting treat
ments. One man plaits her hair, another
pulls it, metophorically, mean. She
is treated by some shallow-pated youth
end bepimpled old men, who deem
themselves regular dogs, as queen, and
paid by her employer a pittance that
makes death by slow starvation assume
the charming prospect Of bloated luxury
and pampered epicuriauism.

TnE latest and most reliable accounts
lead us to expect about twelve thousand
Knights Templars from the East during
the coming Triennial Conclaye at San
Francisco. II is not straining the mat.
ter to suppose that an equal number, in
the peraons Of the wives, families and
friends Of the participants, will accom-.
pauy them. This will mean twenty.four
thousand people precipitated upon the
hospitality Of the denizens Of Frisco at
one time. Nor will that be all, by any
means. Our California Lodges will bo
there in force; and, in their wake, will
follow an immense conoourse Of people,
from all points OF the Coast. who enjoy
a grand spectacle, and who sympathize
with Masonry. The two, together, can
not fail to crowd all the habitations OF
our metropolitan CT y from turret to
foundation stone. 1t is pleasant to
greet these thronging thousands; and,
we doubt not, their experiences will be
highly enjoyable. While they will
come at time when California is at her
worst; when her fields OF waving grain
have been laid low, and only the vulgar
commercial consideration OF the piled
sacks of the cereals will enlist the atten-
tion OF the visitor, all the same there
are many and interesting phases of life
and development to be witnessed in this
State, even now. Our big trees and Dur
matchless Yosemite are open to the in
spection Of all; while our prolific vine.
yards and orchards cannot fail to extort
the admiration of those interested in
what can be done on the western side Of
the continent. To those of this great
concourse who shall wander towards the
South, we can promise, in Los Angeles
county, panorama of unequaled inter
est and variety. There can be no ques-
ton OF the fact that Of these many
thousands ut least one half will find
their way here. II therefore behooves
us to put on our best "bib and tucker,
in anticipation OF their arrival. We
ought to clean up enr streets and fall to
road.malSing in dead earnest, and at
omen.

In the shape of a Hand.

Davenport Gazette.l
The last Of May, 1882, Simon Snyder,
who was working in planning mill at
Portsmouth, Ohio. had his hand 80
badly lacerated in the machinery that
amputation was necessary. There is
nothing uncommon about that, but hold
your breath a minute. The hand was
buried in Mr.. Snydor's garden. Two
weeks after, upon the mound which the
little twelvo-year.old daughter of the
injured man had made over the severed
hand, grew small fungus-like plant in
the exact shape of human hand. The
Portsmouth Blade of June 10th called
attention to the wonder and gave full
description Of it. Hundreds of citizens
visited Mr.. Snyder to see this freak of
nature. All were interested. Those
who tried to understand it were mysti-
fed, and the superstitious were sure it
was some portent of evil. Mr.. and Mrs.
Snyder removed to Conesville, Louisa
county, Iowa, two months ago, and
brought the fingers with them. preserved
in alcohol. Mr. C. Il. Harrison. Of tho
Brady-street pharmacy, was at Cones
vile last week, and brought the curiosi.
ty to Davenport. Mr., Harrison tried to
prevail upon Mrs. Snyder to give it to
the Academy of Sciences, but she ha,
not yet consented.
The fingers are of dark brown color,
the thumb and fingers approach nearly
the exact form, and perhaps the queerest
part of it is that the foreiinger is shorter
than it should be. Mr.. Snyder lost the
foretinger OF that hand two years before
the nmputation. The little finger was
broken of by accident and shows that
the inside OF the finger is white. Cases
are on record where roots and vegetable
growth have taken the place and shape
Of buried objects of perishablo nature
by absorption and growth contempora-
neous with decay, but this was an exc
terror development.

This touching little incident is from

perusal with mixed feelings; "a beau,
tiful young girl was about to be married
to bachelor seventy years of age, but
very rich. On the eve of her marriage
she learned that his wealth had been
suddenly swept away, leaving him a
penniless old man. Did the noble girl
desert him in this his hour of trouble ?
She did indeed, and her parents helped
her, too"
