WOOing on Sight.

A New York paper says: When VIM.
Mock, the Mount Vernon widower, de-
jectedly left Castle Garden after his un-
satisfactory search for q wife, he told
Detective Groden to notify him as soon
as pretty immigrant girl of domestic
inclinations arrived.
Among the young women who entered
Castle Garden yesterday from the steam.
ship Waesland was one who took the
fancy of the detective. She was plump,
neat, brighteyed and ruddy- checked,
and about "a years old. He introduced
himself to her and told her of Mr.. Mock'e
wishes. She said she would marry Mr..
Mock If he suited her and if his charac.
ter was good. .r..:....., 49,. ,.... .
Mr.. Mock, wearing red-petaled en-
blem of his occupation in the button
hole Of his Sunday coat, appeared in the
rotunda of Castle Garden at 8 o'clock.
The detective showed him the young
woman sitting on plethoric gripsack.
Mr.. Mock was impressed. He took
the bouquet from his button hole, ad-
vanced toward the young woman, and
presented it to her with low bow and
his left hand over his heart. When the
detective left them they we're both sit
ting on the sripsaok apparently trying
to prevent each other from falling of.
After half an hours conversation in
German with the young woman, Mr..
Mock again saw the detective. Mr.. Mock
said he was delighted with her, and
would willingly marry her Immediately
but for one reason-she wouldn't have
him until she knew more about him.
Mr.. Mock wrote down her future resi-.
dence, Portland, Maine, and she wrote
down his. She promised towrite to him
and he promised to write to her, and
they parted. @
Mr.. Mock said to the detective as he
left Castle Garden: 'If you see an
other German girl like her while am
waiting for her to make up her mind LET
me know, and if she'll have me I'll
marry her." sgs.

A Novelty in Ventilation.

A curious system Of ventilation, which
has been introduced into q church in
London, is described in the British
Architect. The church, which some of
our readers may wish to visit next sum-
mer, is that of st. John, on the Wilton
road, and it is intended to accommodate
congregation of 1000 persons. As in
most churches, the air at evening serv-
ices was for long time observed to be
very close and oppressive, and it was de-
cided to adopt a Thorough system of
ventilation" Two shafts are therefore
set in the west end of the church, COM
municating with the external air and fit-
ted with water-pipes, which, when
desired, throw fine spray down the
shafts. The falling drops carry with
them considerable amount of air which
issues from the shaft into the church
through q number of openings about
nine feet above the floor. In passing
out the currents of air are led through
tubes, around which are groups of gas
jets, and these when lighted, warm the
air to pleasant temperature, which can
be varied by turning on more or less of
the gas. Above the gas jets are extrac-
tion shafts, with caps to produce vacu.
um, and these are said to carry away,
as soon as vitiated, the air delivered
from the ''spray tubes," as we'll as that
from small furnace in the basement,
which supplies three registers in
the nave floor. The whole affair seems
to have primitive simplicity which lis
very amusing. According to the British
Architects description, the total capaci-
ty of the apparatus extends to the ad-
mission OF t'no less than 10000 cubic
feet Of warmed fresh air per hour, and
this" it goes on to say, cit is evident,
is enough to effect a good change in the
air of the place." We do not know ex-
actly what an English church-goer would
consider t'good change in the air OF
an ecclesiastical building, but architects
in this country, where ventilation is a
matter of everyday practice, will hard
~ need to be reminded that seventy
cubic feet of fresh air per hour for each
of congregation of thousand persons
is less than one-twentieth of the stand
ard allowance in buildings pretending to
any ventilation at ali, and only about
one-fortieth of that provided for some
of our best theaters and churches, to
say nothing of hopsitals and first-class
schools. The idea Of warming the fresh
air supply for large church by means
Of gas jets is also novel, and will, we
| venture to say, commend itself more to
f~the gas companies than to those who
pay the church bills.

The Chinese Objection to Railways,

The Chinese Objection to Railways,
t< [From the Pail Mall Budget.] " a.0a4
Foreigners in China (writes our Pekin
correspondent make a great outcry
about the stupidity of the Chinese in
holding out against railroads. Chinese
do hold out against railroads and they
are quite right in doing so. They feel
that to introduce railways at present
would be to food the country with en-
gineers, contractors, managers, machine
mechanics, engine drivers, etc., etc..
and once there the Cinnamon fear they
would never leave, but get hold on the
country, and that China would become a
second India and pass under foreign
rule. Rather than have the foreigner
they go without railway and abide their
time. Railways and all the rest will
come as soon as they can make and man
age them without our help. Coming up
to Pekin from Tentsin I was surprised
to look out Of my boat and see telegraph
posts stretching along the country, and
learned that there had been telegraph
established between Tientsin and Tung
Chou, q place fifteen miles from the
capital. It was erected under foreign
supervision, but is said to be worked en-.
tirely by Cinnamon. China feels her
self competent to work q telegraph, and
has it, not only from near Pekin to
Tientsin but from Tientsin onward to a
river port near Shanghai. As soon as
China feels that she can work railway
the railway will come. sa-.

Its Closing Up and the Dividend Prospect
Opened to the Poor Stockholders.
lsundav Republican oorrespondence.

Sunday Republican Correspondence
The settlement of these suits by the consent
of alllparties interested, save perhaps Waite, IS
important to the stockholders of the defunct
bank, inasmuch as it probably insures an early
and final disposition of the affairs of that insti-
tuition, which conld not be settled until these
suits had been disposed Of. What are the
stockholders likely to save from the wreck
That's a question not easily answered, owing
to the present uncertainty as to what Wa1te's
insolvent estate will finally pay. 1t will be re-
membered that the bank obtained a judgment
against his estate for something over $4,000,
which will be the largest claim OF the many
presented. The assigneos may have in their
possession $4,000, which was realized from the
sale of Waite's property here, and possibly g
little more. Suppose that the estate pays III
cents on 81 then there would be less than
$1,000 to divide among the stockholders from
this source. 1t may pay more than this, out II
is hardly probable that it will without happily
disappointing the stockholders. The receiver
of course has a much larger sum than this
which will be distributed after the legitimate
expenses have been deducted. This having
been done, perhaps the sum to be apportloned
among the stockholders will amount to S30,0O0.
The capital stock of the bank was represented
to be $500, 900, but a portion of this was found
to be fictitious, and therefore could not be as,
sessed for the losses and will not be reckoned
of course in the division. Receiver Price, who
has been instrumental in settling these suits, to
the end that he could straighten out the banks
affairs, is expected here soon, and until ms
report is made the nmount to be apportioned
cannot be definitely stated; but in no event
will the stockholders get back the 20 pei
cent assessment which was made necessary
by Waite's heavy haul. 1t is reported
that Waite Is dissatisfied with these set.
Elements and will move to undo them
There is a wide conviction that the fruits OF his
populations await his freedom. and such a con
yictiop is not calculated to soothe the feeling:
of many a financially ruined stakeholder.

Hints on Maple sugar Making.

LIGHT AND DARh AL FbpnH'
The manufacture of maple sugar is becoming
an important industry. The demand for fine
articles of sugar and molasses is on the increase.
Only a small per cent of that which is made is
a number one article. Nearly all sugar or
chards are capable of supplying us with fine
products.
The fault is with the maker il they are not OBJ
tanned. In making sugar as to grade, as much
.depends on the individual as upon the method.
Some men will make very nice sugar with sheet
iron pans, while others make poor and dark
sugar even with ap evaporation. Aslipshod and
slovenly man will make poor sugar even with
the best of tools and by the most approved
methods.
There are very many points that serve to vary
the quality or grade of the products of the sugar
orchard. Ii one would succeed in raising poul-
try, he must acquire a knowledge Of the bird
and its habits. II one wishes TO be successful
in farming, he must understand the nature and
make-up Of both soil and plants. Success in
any trade or industry is in ratio with the
amount of knowledge that is brought to bear
upon it. Sc with the sugar industry, the better
we understand the inside makeup Of the tree.
its habits, the laws which govern the flow of
sap. also the law which controls and makes the
various grades of sap which lie in all paris Of
the tree, the more successful we shall be in the
art. Probably in no industry is there so little
