that his pocket book was gone. Much
chagrined he yet could not help feeling
amused over the prospective discontinue

book did not contain cent of money.
He turned into the street, when much to
his surprise a man who followed him,
tapped him on the shoulder, and hand

Shaefer the billiardist has remarkable
dog in his rooms He makes it his bust
ness to pick up every ball that is knocked
off the table and returning it to the prop
er table. He will not allow it to be tax
en- from his mouth but insists on placing
it Oh himself. He is so expert at catch
ing a small india rubber ball, that Shaef
er says he .is going to propose him as
catcher for the baseball nine which the
biIliardist Of this city have formed. One
night some wags filled the ball with wa
ter and when tie poor fellow caught it
between his teeth, he got the thin stream
into his throat. The dog never forgot
that. He seems to know by the way the
bail fits whether it contains water and
will make no effort to catch it. On the
contrary when it is down on the floor, he
will put his foot on it and squeeze the
water out By the way the billiardists
of this vicinity are all in active practice
for the coming tournament in Chicago,
and judging by the scores made by Sloss,
Dion and Daily in private great billiards
will be rolled when the battle begins.

INTERPOLATION IN THE MARRIAGE
SERvICE.-A clergyman, not many miles
from GIeG's Falls, lately married a coup
le with the words: "Wilt thou have this
woman to be thy welded wife, to live to
gether after Gods ordinance in the holy
estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her,
comfort her, honor and keep her in sick
ness and in health-which means you
shall net kiss any other girl but her
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her SO long as We both shall live?''
The groom having answered, Il will, :"
the clergyman continued: "Wilt thou
have this man to be thy welded hus-
band, to live together after Gods ordi-
nance in the holy estate Of matrimony?
Wilt thou love, honor and keep him in
sickness and in health-which means
that you shall not kiss any other man
but him-and forsaking all others, keep
thee only unto him so long as ye both
shall live?" TIE proceedings were rather
odd for minister of the Gospel, to say
the least.-.Schencctady Union, January

The purchase Of the main exposition
building at Philadelphia by B. Mitchell
was a successful speculation. The cost
of removing the huge structure and other
expenses am1unted to about 100000,
and the material of which it was built
have been sold by about $500, 900, leav-
ing profit OF about 100000 to be Gi-
vided among Mr. Mitchell and the give
other gentlemen whom he associated with
himself in the enterprise. At the time OF
his purchase Mr.. Mitchell was frank
enough to say that he fully expected to
make a large sum of money by it, that
he was prepared to pay considerably
more for the building than the price at
which it was knocked down to him, and
that he was astonished that Richard Dob
bin. who built it, and was as well ac-
ouainted with its value as himself, should
have let such pretty plum slip through
his fingers.

Southern Cotton Mills.

N. Y. Shipping List.
1t is claimed the leading cotton
mills of the South are paying 10
per cent on the capital invested.
This is very large profit for these
times. The South has an immense
advantage in the matter of raw
material and q large home market.
The cotton mill is erected close
to the cotton baling press and very
near to coal Il les. Nowhere in the
world is the raw material cheaper
or more abundant. The production
of cotton in the Southern States is
increasing rapidly. 1t is evident
that il the present ratio OF the
manufacture of cotton goods to the
production OF cotton is kept up in
this country, in a few years there
will be very little raw cotton Tor
foreign export.
The Southern States being near.
est TO the sources of production
will be sure of supply; the remote
States will call for the rest. There
is this further change to be noted
in agricultural production iu the
Southern States. The planters and
large farmers are unwilling to rely
on a single crop, as formerly. They
are planting more wheat and corn
than ever before, so that while the
production OF cotton increases from
year to year, wheat, corn and
other cereals greatly enhance the
agricultural prosperity. Georgia
now has forty cotton mills, and
adds 10000 spindles annually iu
this department. Since the clost
of the civil war, the production OF
cotton has been nearly double in
the Southern States; aud where
bankruptcy had overshadowed tht
land there is now a degree OF pros
perity which has already made
them actually aud prospectively
wealthy States.

The Miseries of a Mean Man.
Burdette

Burdetto
Sometimes wonder what q mean
man thinks about when he goes to
bed. When he turn ont the light
and lies down. When the darkness
closes in about him and he is alone,
and he is compelled to be honest
with himself. And not n bright
thought, not u blessing, not a
grateful look, comes to bless him
again. Not penny dropped into
the outstretched palm of poverty,
not the balm of a loving word drop.
ped into an aching heart; no sun
beam of encouragement cast upon
q struggling life, the strong right
band of fellowship reached out to
his feet-when none of these things
come to him with the "God bless
you,' of the departed day, how he
must hate himself! Hew lie must try
to roll away from himself and sleep
OH the other side of the bed! When
the only victory he can think of
is some mean victory, in which he
has wronged neighbor. No won-
der he always sneers when he tries
to smile. How pure, good and
fair all the rest of the world must
look to him, and how cheerless and
dusty must his own path appear 7
Why, even QUE lone, isolated act OF
meaness, is enough to scatter
crumbs in the bed of the ordinary
man, aud what must be the feelings
of the man whose whole life is
given up to mean actsf When
there is so much trouble aud heart
ache and misery in the world any
how, why should you add Que
pound OF wickedness or sadness to
the general burden? Don't be
mean my boy. Suffer injustice a
thousand time rather than commit
it once.

Manufacture OF Paper from White
Moss.

Tho State Department has re-
ceived the following report from
Consul Gale. of Christiana. relative
to IA new raw material for the mau-
utacture of paper which will soon
begin in Norway and Sweden:
To the various raw materials al
ready employed In manufacturing
paper, such as rags, espart0, straw
and wood, all OF which are expen-
sive, u new aud cheaper one, name
ly, white moss, viii shortly be
added. This moss is found in i'm
mense quantities in Norway and
Sweden, but it is not the living
plant as it grows in the fields,
which is used for making paper,
but the remains of this kind of
moss, which has gradually accumu.
lated in the woods. The mOulder.
ing which the moss has gradually
undergone constitutes n prepara-
ton for the paper manufacture
made by nature herself. Near the
place in Sweden where the first fac
tory is now building examination
has shown that many millions OF
pounds OF this raw material are 70
be fonnd, IA sufficient quantity to
support a large mandatory for a
number OF years. Paper OF differ
ent thicknesses and pasteb0ard
made of the white moss are now
shown, the latter even in sheets
three.quarters of an inch thick. Ii
is harder than wood and can easily
be pdiutcd and polished. This
manufacture is well suited for
taking the place of wood for many
purposes. 1t has all the good quail.
itics, but mono of the defects of
wood, as it neither cracks nor
warps. The pasteboard can cOasa-
qucntly be used for door and win
dow frames, for architectural orna.
ments of all kiuds OF furniture. A
company founded on shares has
been formed fol- building factories
in Sweden as well as in Norway.

Southern Prosperity.

The New York Herald, which is
giving more attention to matters in
the Southern States than ever be-
fore, has this to say OF the South
The tide OF Southern prosperity,
which set iD but a few years ago,
is steadily rising, aud will continue
to rise. The Southern people have
gained everything and lost nothing
by turning from political turmoil
to industrial activity. With
slavery they never could have ad-
vanced to their present state Of
prosperity, Their gain of material
wealth more than offsets the loss
of their slaves. The country has
every reason. to rejoice over the
progress the South is making. In.
crease of Southern wealth is tn
crease OF national wealth.
