The Man Who Never Speculated in
Stocks.
Troy Times.l


It may be mentioned as noticeable fea-
ture in Peter "COPPER" business career that he
avoided speculation. He was a lifelong
plodder. No one ever saw him among Wall
street cliQues. His financial opinions were
often sought but no one ever knew him to
recommend stock operations. Efforts were
made to draw him into Wall street operations,
but they always failed. He believed in
labor as the true source both of wealth and
happiness, and hence never wished to retire.
He died in harness, which is the best way
to die. New York has recently lost three
men of wealth and benefcence such as few
cities can boast-E. D. Morgan. William E.
Dodge and Peter Cooper-the last mentioned
being in all points the greatest. All three
began in poverty, rose by industry and be-
came national benefactors, and now stand
exalted and honored by national gratitude.

The following odd advertisement is from
Roman paper: "a gentleman suffering
from ennui invites lady, married or single,
to breakfact or dine with him, without cere-
mony, once a week. If desired, he promises
as gentleman to keep the secret. If the
acquaintance should ripen into affection, all
the better. Ladies in want of dinner may
apply to -, Rome"

Eight Men Eaten by Cannibals.

Hartford Courant.
L. s. Strickland, a younger brother of l..
c. Strickland, of Southington, about five
years ago, on account of very poor health,
started for Australia. He went thence with
a party of thirteen to the island of New
Guinea, seeking gold, and until a few days
ago nothing was heard from him, and it was
believed that he was dead. Mr.. Strickland,
of Southington, has just received letter
dated February 8, at Paramatta, small
island near Australia. It seems that after
reaching the interior of the island they were
captured by the savages, who are cannibals
and still eat human flesh. From time to time
eight of the company were roasted and eaten.
For some reason not stated the remaining
five were spared, and in some way contrived
to escape, and this was the first opportunity
Mr.. Strickland had of sending information
home. He wrote it was impossible to put on
paper the sufferings he had endured during
that time, or the fearful experiences which
had befallen him. He expects to return
home during the summer.

Industry and frugality have been re-
warded; the interests of religion, tenn
perance, and education have been ad-
vanecd; our marvellous increase i'm pop.
ulation and wealth has not affected
the integrity of our free institutions; !;
the scars inflicted by civil war have
been healed, and growing sentiment
of fraternal concord and loyalty TO the
flag prevails among all the States of
our once imperiled Union.
Let us observe this Thanksgiving
Day with such social festivities and
religious observances as tend to ce-
ment the ties of Ia mily and OF friend
ship, and foster a spirit Of brotherly
kindness toward all men. Let it be a
day for The exercise OF the broadest
charity in thought and deed, reinenl-
beriug lie words of Him who said 'It
is more blessed to give than to receive. y
In testimony whereof, have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the great

INGENIOUS YOUNG WON.N.
Monday. there was n big excursion
from the collar shops TO Saratoga.
Hundreds Of TioJs pretty young Ia
dies went to Saratoga
The sky threatened rain.
The young ladies wore bustles
Perhaps there was no connection be
tween the threatening rain and tn,
bus,las-and perhaps there was.
Shortly after the excurs onistS reae {:
ed Saratoga the rain began to pou'.
Many Of the young ladies. with Il r
escorts. were seated in the parlor Of Il
hotel when the rain began 10 fall.
The prospect was dismal as viewed
from tie hotel windows. Within il
seemed sad, too. The airy ana tasty
dresses of the excursionists must lie
spoiled by venture on tie street
Umbrellas were few and far between,
and there seemed an entire desrth oi
outside coverings.
But witness the ingenuity of the
young ladies of the day.
A. if by p concerted acton, the
young ladies arose, one after the other
and left the parlor
In few minutes they returned
All wore gossaner cloaks.
But the bustles were gone. Troy
