More Precious Than God,

New York Star.
"About ten years ago." said an Off
Ger of safe deposit company, tive
had in one of our safes small box
that contained child's primer, two or
three picture books, and hshhook
and line. This box was left with us
by an elderly lady, and its contents
once belonged to child that died
many years ago. Two or three times
a year the lady came to our place and
examined the contents to see if thew
were all right. She was the mother of
the child, and she seemed to take a
sad sort of pleasure in gazing upon
the articles that had amused her dar-
ling in the long ago. Finally she
ceased coming, and when the time for
which she had leased the space in our
vault had expired, we made inquiry as
to the reason it was not renewed. We
then learned that she was dead"
"Who was the LADY,"
81 must decline to state her name
but will say that her husband was
for q quarter of century one of the
leading business men of New York
He took the little box containing his
dead wife's treasures away with him.

The Dark Waltz Squeeze.
Sioux City Journal

sioux C1sy Journal.J
The Marshalltown Statesman gives
an interesting sketch of the rise and
progress of the "dark waltz Squeeze"
figure of the german. The occasion
for the Statesman's dance lore was the
producing of this figure in a ball given
at Farney's Music Hall in Marshall
town, under the direction of Pat
Ollie, who, from the Statesman's ac-
count, appears to have been an
itinerant tutor of the art terpsichorean.
The Statesman, it appears, differed
with Pat as to how the figure should
be danced, and protested in advance
against the rendition of Pats version.
The Statesman gives th. opinion of
how it should have been done:
The real figure as given, where
conducted in respectable and decent
social circles, is as follows: The
lights are turned down, as in a thea
ter when a tableau or night scene is
displayed, each lady being furnished
with a lighted taper. This she holds
in her hand, and it is never cxtin-
guished. The couples then join
hands; do not even take the waltz
position, SO carefully do they guard
against any seeming improperly, and
thus waltz about the hall. This makes
= very pretty figure, a moving torch
light fanciful figure, that has its
beauty in the moving lights alone.
Conducted in this manner it was first
introduced into the german in this
country some years ago, and has held
its place ever since, though not al
ways maintained.
But it wasn't this way at all that
the clark waltz squeeze" was danced
at Farney's Music Hall, Marshalltown,
under the direction of Professor Pat
Ollie. Not at all. This is the Oillean
way, according to the Statesman's
account:
Not content with turning down the
lights, the janitor was sent to the base
ment and cut oil the gas entire. Each
lady taking part in the dance was
furnished with lighted taper; the
gentleman choosing partner would
blow the light out. In very few
moments not light remained in the
hall; even the light from the stove
,"as 60 smothered that it was so dark
you could distinguish not person in
the hall. The dance went on the
usual time for a waltz, when the lights
were again turned on, Thus ended
the figure.

Asia and Africa.
Until the present year, [ had hardly
given thought to the origin of this
plant, when last April l had it brought
home to me most forcibly. In blind,
unquestioning way, I had always adj
mired the great fields of corn that the
farms of New England are some
times covered with, but had never
asked whether it was a product
of our own or another zone. It
was in the home of the corn, on the up
lands of Mexico, that it flashed upon me
that this noble friend was child of the
tropics!
Then [ wondered that I had not be
fore noticed its broad, clinging leaves,
It's tall, tassel-crowned form and luxuri-
ant growth, all which proclaimed it as
a native of warmer cline. In Mexico
or in the equally elevated plains of
Peru corn had its birth; here it finds
the union of hot growing" days with
cool, moist nights.
A thousand years before New En-
gland acquired a name, the Indians of
Mexico cultivated this precious cereal.
Even at the present day, it is their sole
support.

Thumb Portraits.

If the ball. or cushion-like surface of
the top joint Of the thumb, be examined,
It can be Sc en- that IN the center-as in
deed, IN the fingers alsO-is a kind OF
spiral formed of fine grooves in the skin.
The spiral IS, however, rarely, if ever,
quite perfect-5here are Irregularities, or
places where lines run into each other
here and there. Examining both thumbs,
it will be seen that they do not exactly
match bat the figure on each thumb is
the same through life. If the thumbs of
any two persons are compared, it will fur
Their be found that no two are alike. There
may be, and generally is, family re-
semblance'' between members OF the same
family, as IN other features; there are also
national characteristics; but the in
dividuals differ. All this is bet
ter seen by taking proof
impressions of the thumb. This is easily
done by pressing it on a slab covered with
a film of printers ink. and then pressing
IL on piece of white pa per; or little ami
line dye, Indian ink-aImost anything
may be used. The Chinese take advantage
of all this to identity their i'm portant Grim
inals, at least in some parts of the empire.
We photograph their faces; they take i'm
pressiOns from their thumbs. These are
stored away, and, If the delinquent should
ever again fall into the hands of the po-
lice, another impression at once
affords the means Of comparison.
The Chinese say that, considering the
alteration made IL the countenance By
hair and beard, and the power many men
have OF distOrting or altering the actual fea-
lures, etc, their method affords even more
certain and easy means of identification
than our plan Of taking the criminals
portrait. Perhaps We might with adYan-
tage take leaf out of their book.

ton established, the country put on
a new dress; the comforts of all
classes in society increased, and
their condition improved, and still
improves, contrary TO the predictions
of Democrats and their English
allies during the war Of secession.
Very many of the Irish-Ameri.
can citizens think, that as the late
immortal Daniel O'Connell advo-
Gated free trade in his place in the
Parliament of Great Britain, that
measure is identical with the meas
ure now proposed and advocated by
the Democracy in this country;
bosh! it is the very opposite; moth
ing could be more fallacious and il.
Iusive, and it would be as pernicious
to the prosperity of this country, if
enacted, as the act of union was to
the prosperity Of Ireland.
Mr.. Tierney's statement as to the
effect of free trade upon the indus
tries Of Ireland is confirmed by a
speech of Hon. Thomas Francis
Meagher, delivered in l848, of which
the following is an extract:
The cotton manufacture of Dublin,
which employed $4,000 operatives,
has been destroyed; the stuff and
serge manufactures, which employ
ed ,49l operatives has been des
troyed; the calico looms Of Balbrig-
gan have been destroyed; the fan
mel manufacture Of Rathdrum has
been destroyed; the blanket manu-
facture Kilkenny has been destroy
ed; the camlet trade of Brandon,
which produced 100000 a year,
has been destroyed; the worsted and
stuff manufactures of Waterford
have been destroyed; the rateen and
frieze manufactures of Carrick on
SUR have been destroyed; one bust
ness alone thrives and tlourishes, and
breads no bankruptcy. That fortu-
nate business which the union act
has stood by; which no absentee
drain has slackened, but has stimu.
lated; which the drainage acts and
the navigation acts of the imperial
senate have not deadened but in
vigorated; that favored, and priv
liged, and patronized business is the
Irish coffin makers.
