-Noorhead New: Senator Saw
yer. of Wisconsin, says there will be
no river and harbor bill. This news
is far from satisfactory, as there are
numerous harbors and rivers in the
United States which it IS absolutely
necessary to keep repairing and i'm
proving if they would be kept in good
condition. :" \ stitch in time saves
nine, and it is a penny wise and
pound foolish policy which prompts
our national legislators 10 make this
appearance Of economy. This fact
will come to light when, in the course
of a year or two, al appropriation for
river and harbor expenses twice the
size Of any yet passed, Will be deman-
ded. There are a great many people
who howl against this annual appro-
priation. There may be something
lavish about it, but i i 4 necessary
evil. if such II may be called, and
within one wear / ESQ pcauie will come
TO this decision. There might be room
for reform, but i. i ~ time for It's to-
tai overthrow.

An exchange rises to remark:
When the free trade hobby-riders pro-
POSE to demoIish the system of tariff
protection to domestic industry, they
should study the last census, which
shows that S2,GGO,272,6O6 Of capital
Is invested in American manufactur-
ing establishments, which employ over
100000 hands, pay out yearly S947,
957 900 worth Of manufactured arti-
cles annually. These facts and this
brief statement is worth more to the
cause Of protection than volumes Of
speeches that might BE made on the
subject.

Adultcrattd Brandy.

1t has long been so difficult to obtain
perfectly pure brandy that American
whisky and alcohol diluted With water
have been generally used for medicinal
purposes. But the ruin of the, VINEYARDS
of France has made matters much
worse, and Consul Clifford, of La Ro-
chelle, Naples, reports that most of
what is sent to the United States as
French brandy is produced in that re-
glon, and Is an adulteration of the worst
sort If 1t IS proper to call anything an
adulteration which does not contain a
particle Of what is genuine. The peo-
pie of this republic pay nearly 90 ,000,-
600 year for imported brandy, in
cluding the duty of about 100 per
cent, and the greater part of the liq-
uor is so fraudulent that its use is ex-
tremely injurious. Why is it not pos
slble for this country to produce its
own brandy? 1t is very desirable to
have enough that is pure for medical
uses, and great company might
establish lucrative business by manu-
featuring it. While the vineyards OF
France have been vanishing during the
last three years, those of the United
States have been increasing, and it
ought to be possible to produce enough
white wine for distillation to supply
all the pure brandy the physicians may
need for patients in the United States.
There are three shades of olive,
which color suits blends and also bru-
nettes with clear complexlons. A
lovely shade of golden olive is only
becoming to brunettes.
White undressed kid Mousquetaire
gloves are at present very popular for
dressy toilets.

Frightening Children to Sleep.

A lady overheard her nurse girl the other night talking to the little child she was putting to sleep, and among other legends of the nursery in which she in- dulged was this:
 eff you don't go right to sleep this very minute, big, awful black bear, with eyes like coals of fire, and sharp, white, cruel teeth, will come out from under the bed and eat you all up p
 The poor little thing nestled down under the clothes and after a long sea- son of terror fell asleep to dream frightful dreams of horrid bears eating her up.
 That night when the stolid nurse had composed herself in her own comfort able bed and put the light out, there came sudden rap at the door, and the voice of the mistress called loudly through the panels:
 Maggie Maggie for mercy's sake get up as quick as you can! There's a fearful burglar under your bed, and as soon as you get asleep he's coming out to rob and murder your
 { At the word burglar she sprang scream ing from the bed, tore open the door and fell in mysteries into the hall. The lesson was even more instructive than the mistress had designed; but when the girls fears were calmed she said tc her:
 "You did not hesitate to tell my little delicate child, who could not possibly know that it was lie, cruel story of z bear under her bed; now, when I treat you to the same kind of slumber-story you are nearly frightened to death. Tomorrow you can go into the kitchen and work-you are not fit to care fol little children"
 How many children are there who every night of their lives, are frightened to sleep?

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one, who will ex- anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside rom the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, large proportion of the preciou- metal used is needed not only to stifGen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as urIn- IrY and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES. this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the SAME soLIpIrY AND STRENGTH produced at from one-third to one half of the usual cost or solid cases. The process is of the most simple nature, as follows: a plate of nickle composi- tion metal especially adapted to the purpose has two plates of SOLID COLE soldered one on each side The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.
 THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES OLD GOLD AND WARRANT ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

The Disadvantage of Large Family.

"How many children have you, Ike?' asked an Arkansaw gentleman of negro acquaintance.

 "How long have you been married ?"
 ''De almanac says twenty year, but dinged eff it doan' seem like hundred to me-"

Mill Operatives.

Belle c. Green, daughter of a mil owner at Nashua, writes that mill girls of that and other New England manu featuring cities have changed completely within twenty years. Those who worked in Lucy Larcom's days are now, in many instances, matrons presiding gracefully over elegant homes, the pride and ornament of what Miss Green calls ''on best society,"" A woman of posi- tion in Nashua, over fifty years old, who never worked in the mills, is an excep tion. The hands in the old times came from the farms of New Hampshire and Vermont, but are now almost wholly French Canadians, of far less intelli- gence and scarcely any education. Snuff taking is common among them. Although the character of the female operatives has degenerated, according tc this authority, more is done for thei moral and temporal welfare than used to be. The factory boarding houses, where they are lodged and fed for $2. 5C a week, including washing, are clean, roomy and respectfully conducted, while the table fare is remarkably abundant for the price.

Rather a Bad Bargain.

A western paper has been reviving the old story of Satan and the newspaper A very impecunious fellow was ap- preached by the Evil One with the prop osition that he would supply the i. f. with all the money that he could spend for five years if at the end of that time i. f. would turn over his soul. The bar gain was closed and l. f. went at it. He built railroads and hotels and kept fast horses. He cornered wheat and stock, but Satan honored his drafts every time. The time for the final delivery drew near, and i. f. was in trouble. Satan had fulfilled every part of his contract to the letter.
 Finally it occurred to the i. f. that he would settle matters. To that end he drew on his sulphurous banker for money and established daily newspa- per; in three weeks he drew again, and found it necessary to keep drawing. Then Satan, with very long face, dropped into his sanctum one day and said "Look here, l have proposal to make you. I can stand horses, yachts, diamonds and political campaigns, but I can't stand this newspaper racket. Now am disposed to do the fair thing. I'll give you receipt in full for all you have had will give you back your soul, if you will let me off from my bargain. ,"
 So the i. f. saved his soul only to lose it by running a morning paper.

The slip was run on two small rol lers in box with a sliding lid of glass As the night wears away and the stars pass over he can turn a crank of his watch and look at the time marked.

Mrs. Melville on the Stand.

There was an impressive scene in the court room in Media, Pa., at the hearing of the Melville habeas corpus case. Fashionable ladies occupied the seats, and waited until the court adjourned, rather than go out and break the still ness that prevailed. Mrs. Melville told her story in low voice, almost 8 whisper. She had not gone far before every lady in the room was in tears. Even the lawyers cried, and the Judge was forced to hide his emotion behind his handker- chief. Mrs. Melville denied every assertion made by her husband. She told how she had waited patiently for months for his return how she would start up in her sleep at night dreaming of the Jeannette in an icy sea; how the news of his return overpowered her with joy; how she prepared to welcome him on his return, and was only greeted with reproaches and curses how he would not even kiss his children, the children he ROW sought to take from her. "And if you want to know how have brought up my children" she said, "just note their behavior in this court" pointing to the little girls who sat beside her. She told how Melville tore her from her children and sent her to an insane asylum, where she could hear only the shrieks of the crazed inmates. She described weeks experience there, and told how she bathed her face, not in the trough in which the lunatics bathed, but in the tears from her own eyes. She told this story, which occupied four hours in its recital, in such plaintive, pleading way as to carry the entire court room with her,

HoMGoPATHY is making rapid strides in this country-a fact which is due to a great extent to the practice, in homeo- pathic households, of keeping books and medicine chests for ready reference in emergencies, as well as the more trfing maladies generally met with. The at tending success is communicated to friends and neighbors, who, from similar experimenting, usually become staunch homeopathic. The greatest variety of these chests of medicines are put up by Messrs. Boericke and Tafel.
