Customs Receipts at Georgetown.

The report of transactions of the George
town custom house for the month of OctobeA
show the total collections for the month to be
$6,254.22, of which amount $5,9s71S was for
customs duties. On inquiring at the custom
house as to the cause of the largely increased
collections, it was found that it was due to
the fact that our merchants aud others who
have occasion to import goods are taking
advantage of the so called 'immediate trans
portation act of June 10, 1880" by which, on
the observance OF certain formalties, they
can have the goods brought directly through
from the ports of arrival without delay in
better condition and at considerably less ex-
pense to the importer than under the old
law For the year 1882 the receipts were
$3,27996, and for the year previous $2,30743.

How n willy Presbyterian has Amassed
Fortune.

From the Washington National Republican,
p. ID Armour, the ruler Of the provision
market of the world, is Of sturdy Scotch Pres
byterian stock. lie was born in one of the
central counties of New York, on farm
among the hills. 1t was the highest ambi-
tion OF his boyhood days to earn money
enough to buy the farm adjoining his faith
er's. When the gold fever broke out he was
still mere STRIPPING but full of youthful
enthusiasm, he started for California, driving
wagon across the plains and mountains.
lie remained there four or five years, and in
that time saved few thousand dollars. The
dream of his lite was about TO be realized.
lie now had hard cash enough to buy that
farm and settle down. He shook the dust
Of the golden State from his feet, and turned
his face To the East. He was in feversh
heat TO get home. The stages moved at q
snal's pace, and every thing dragged horribly.
lie had no sooner reached home than he
experienced Il sudden revulsion of feel
ing. The streets Of the village near
est his sire's farm, which had once
struck him.as being noble drives and busy
thoroughtares, looked barrow, cramped, and
dull. The house that had impressed his
juvenile Imagination as grand appeared
mean and dingy, and the hills that had
seemed to him like mighty mountains few
years before were now mere mole hills. The
very atmosphere was suffocatng almost, and
he painted to get away before his hat was
fairly on its old peg He only remained on
the fam two or three days and then took
himself to Cincinnati. Later he drifted to
Milwaukee, and at the close of the war he
sold great lot of pork at $40 barrel. and
bought it again at SlS to $40, realizing a
profit OF about million. This gave him his
start and from that day hp has haep coptinu
ally adding to his wealth, until to-day he
ranks as the wealthiest man in Chicago, be-
ing rated by those who know something of
his business at $25, 100000 or $4,000, 900.
His transactions are colossal. His firm en-
ploys between 5000 aud 5000 men, and on
his pay rolls are about fifty men who receive
salaries of $4,000 and over. lie is not yet So
years of aye, aud, although he puts in ten
and twelve hours day, and devutes very
little time to recreation, he is apparently
good for 25 years yet.

In n Forest.


From II. l.. stevenson's "An Island voyage."l
What is forest but city Of natures
own, full of hardy and innocuous living
things, where there is nothing dead and
nothing made with the hand, but the citi-
zens themselves are the houses and pub
lie monuments? There is nothing SO
much alive, and yet SO quiet, as a wood
land; and pair of people, swinging past
in canoes, feel very small and bustling by
comparison. And, surely, of all smells
i'll the world the smell OF many trees is
the sweetest, and most fortifying. The
sea has rude. pistoling sort of odor,
that takes you in the nostrils like snuff,
and carries with it fine sentiment of
open water and tall ships but the smell
OF forest, which comes nearest to this
in tonic quality, surpasses it, by many
degrees, in the quality of softness. Again,
the smell of the sea has little variety, but
the smell of forest is infinitely change
full it varies with the hour of the day,
not in strength, merely, butin character !;
and the different sorts of trees, rs You 60
from one zone of the wood to another,
seem to live among different kinds of at
mosphere.

growing where he stands since before the
Reformation, taller than many spires,
moro stately than the greater part of
mountains, and yet n living thing, liable
to sickness and death. like you and me, is
not that, in itself, speaking lesson in
history? But acres on acres iull of such
patriarchs, contiguously rooted, their
green tops billowing in the wind, their
stalwart younglings pushing up about
their knees !; whole forest, healthy and
beautiful, giving color to the light, CIV

the most imposing piece in natures roper

the present contamination OF tho singu-
lar scheme is the right Of way but it is
said the parties interested have been Sc
crctly obtaining this at little cost. The
pipe will be placed under ground in the
cities, but the bulk of the lines will ex-
tend along tracks of certain railroads, the
| pipe in most instances being attached to
and swung from the ends of the ties. For
certain short distances, for connecting
links, the pipe will pass through fields
and along country roads, where it will be
put on short 'jacks," or pedestals, or
swung along the base of fences. In cross
ing country roads il will be swung on
short poles. Three telegraph wires will
be attached to and extend along the pipe,
to be used for electric signaling between
| stations. At least one engineer believes
the scheme feasible one, and If it proves
II success, it is thought another pipe line
will be added for the transfer exclusively
of grain from Chicago to New York, by
which method $4,000 bushels could be
carried daily for ten cents per bushel, at
II profit of $500. Grain placed in tube
here would arrive in New York in about
five hours, the trs nsfer time being some
what longer than by the message line
Appliances are now being experimental
with by which, with the aid of automatic
attachments, the grain pipe line would be
continually charged from the bins of the
principal elevator here, and delivered at a
general central elevator at New York.
The grain, it is claimed, would be i'm

patent dust fan upon its discharge into
the New York elevator. The capacity of

The projectors OF the enterprise state
that the money necessary to carry out the
plans expeditiously is pledged.
