There being otherwise very little legal
business atloat here the grand jury of the
City Court has succeeded In manufacturing
this week quite lot in the shape Of pre-
sentiments against most OF the Manchester

mirably, as quite number were found.
Their knowledge was the basis OF the

The Council Committee on Finance met
at the City Hall at "a O'Clock last night and
discussed certain measures which IL Is pro-

OF materially increasing the local revenue

close collection OF existing taxes would be

The persimmon crop Of Chesterfield
county was never so large before rs now.
This is said TO be an indication OF severe
winter. So far the old belief has been

opossum crop, and this sequence has like
wise been borne ont by the facts Of the
case. The recent heavy fall Of snow caused

The Returned ArgOnaut.

Sometimes, on visiting my native
village, stand before one of those old
fashioned houses from whose front door,
thirty-four years ago, there went forth,
for the last time, the young Argonaut
on his way to the ship. There is more
than one such house in the village The
door is double, the knocker is still upon
it, the window panes are small, the
front gate is the same, and up to the
door the same stones lie upon the walk.
But within all are strangers. The
father and mother are past anxious in
quiry of their sons. The sisters are
married and live or have died elsewhere.
A new generation is all about. They
never heard of him. The great event
of that period-the sailing of that ship
for CALIFORNIA; sometimes recalled by
a few-a few rapidly diminishing. His
name is all but forgotten. Some of
him have a dim remembrance. In his
time he was an important young man in
the village. He set the fashion in col
lars and the newest style of plugs.
oh, me, how feetingl What is a
generation? A puff. A few old maids
recollect him. What pity, what a
shame that we do all fade as leaf
What a sad place what living grave
is this for him to return tol Where
would he find the most familiar names
In the cemetery. Who would he fee
most like? Like rip Van Winkle.
Who are these bright and blooming
lasses passing by? They are her grown
up children-she with whom he sat UP

ioned front parlor on the old-fashioned
sofa. Where is she2 That is she, thai

street. Is she thinking of him, No

The Secrets Revealed Through th'
Windows OF Character.

The great engineer Stephenson was
once asked the mightiest power in
nature, and he said that it was wom-
ans eye, for it would send man to the
ends of the earth, and that same eye
would bring him home again. Some
eyes are SO liquid and deep that Elmer
son fitly calls them wells into which
one might fall" Others, he says, have
no more expression than blueberries.
Some are asking eyes, some assertive,
some prowling, some full of bayonets.
"The eyes of men converse as much as
their tongues, with the advantage that
the ocular dialect needs no dictionary,
but is understood all the world over.
Each man carries in his eye the exact
indication of his rank in the immense
scale of men, aud we are always learn
ing to read it. The reason why men
do not obey us is because they see the
mud at the bottom of our eye.
1t is said that gamblers rely more
upon the expression of the eye of their
opponent to discover the state of the
game than upon anything else. Bush
nell tells of preacher he knew whose
eyes were "six-shooters," keen, gray,
individualizing, loaded with thought
and emotion, and leveled at each hearer
in turn. There was no special merit
in the style or substance of his speech,
but his penetrating eve made every one
! feel that eye-bolts were shooting surely
and swiftly into the very soul. OF
some eyes Shakespeare says:
They are the books, the arts. the academies
That show, contain and nourish all the world.
Brutes are kept at bay by the eye.
The tanner and trainer govern, by q
! glance, creatures that could easily
crush them did they know their power.
SO that the human eye is weapon OF
defense and assault of Incompatible
power. Next to the voice in effective
ness, says Cicero, "is the countenance,
and this is ruled over by the eyes" In
Delsarte's system there are 729 eX-
pressions of the eye, grouped as fol-
lows: Normal, indifferent, morose,
somnolent, contemptuous, deeply re-
Elective, surprised and resolute. Bat,
as in music, SO here, the chrOmatic
scales and gamuts of expression beggar
all description. E. p. Thlrilg, in
! chronological Journal.

Two Ways of Looking at Things.

Two boys went to hunt grapes. One
was happy, because they found grapes.
The other was unhappy, because the
grapes had seeds in them.
Two men being convalescent were
asked how they were. One said: 81
am better to-day" The other said II
was worse yesterday"
When it rains one man says: "This
will make mud" Another: "This
will lay the dust"
Two children looking through colored
glass; one said: "The world is blue "
And the other said: ut is bright"
Two boys eating their dinner ;one said /:
Il would rather have something other
than this" The other said: "This is
better than nothing"
A servant thinks mans house is
principally kitchen. A guest, that it
is principally parlor.
Il am sorry that i live," says one
man. IL am sorry that / must die, "
says another.
II am glad" says one, "that it is no
worse" Il am sorry" says another,
"that il is no better"
One man spoils a good repast by
thinking of better repast of another
day. Another one enjoys poor repast
by contrasting it with none at all.
One men is thankful for his blessings.
Another is morose for his misfortunes.
One man thinks he is entitled to a
better world, and is dissatisfied because
he hasn't got it. Another thinks he is
not justly entitled to any, and is salts
fed with this.
One man makes up his accounts from
his wants. Another from his assets.

is that codgery-looking man going up
the street? That is the man she didn't
wait for and married. Should the Ar
gonaut return home If he could? No.
Let him stay where he is and dream on
of her as she was, bright, gay, lively,
blooming and possibly romantic. The
dream is solid Happiness compared with
the reality. Let him at twilight sit in
his cabin-door, on Delirium Tremens
bar, and dream on while the sun gilds
the foothill SUBMITS. If he can not so
dream soberly, let him get bottle of
corn whisky and dream on that. Better
even that than the hard, cold, damp,
gray reality. What is the end of it all (?

No Animal u Drunkard.

Man is the only animal that degrades
himself. There are no drunkards, no
gluttons, on the earth except among
men. Animals seldom overstep or
break the laws by Wholesale. The dis
eases from which animals suffer do not
come from excesses. Man is at war

How TO Bottle Ants for Cooking.

In 1873, after series of careful ex-
periments, scientific orderly III at
tendance upon Maj. Price, at Fort Win
gate, y. NJ, devised q scheme which
at once came into popular favor, and is
used in the Territory at the present
day. He borrowed several large and
empty bottles from the hospital stew
ard. and buried them vertically in the
very center of the nest, with their
mouths flush with the ground The
excited ants, who had poured out by
thousands while their haunt was being
unroofed, proceeded to investigate the
three curious holes with smooth sides
now in the center of their disturbed
home. One inquisitive young ant went
down to find out what was at the bot
tom of the singular pit. He did not re-
turn A committee followed. Nothing
was heard from them. Then the imme-
diate relatives of these insects dropped
in. Then more ants. Finally the whole
colony was moved to inquiry, and the
rush into the bottles was tremendous
until the last ant had disappeared over
the rim and desolation reigned. Then
the scientific orderly limped out of the
hospital and unearthed the bottles. A
more general or enthusiastic free fight
could scarcely be imagined than was go
ing on in those CLASSY iails, each ant
chewing satisfaction out of his neigh
boris hind legs for having decoyed hin
in, until the entire community was in
volved in mayhem. Then the orderly
built bonfire and committed three
quarts of inseparable belligerents tC
perdition, and thence after dozed il
