Dishonesty in Trade.

There is hardly an article of manu- factured merchandise made or imported in the United States that has not ifs adulerations or limitations; and there are but few articles of raw material that are not in some manner adulterated. What is needed is law that shall compel all men to do an honest business; law that shall apply alike to the rich and the poor; law that shall punish the man who sells with false balance, the same as the man who steals loaf of bread; law that shall punish the man who makes and sells a counterfeit article of mer- chandise, the same as the man who makes and circulates a counterfeit coin. -T. W. TxREH, in, November Century.

BEARS AND CATAMOUNTs.
Farmers in Pennsylvania Unable to Protect
 their Sheep and Pigs.

A letter from Honesdale, Fa, says: Bears and catamounts are so numerous in the townships of Lehigh and Dreher, in the southwestern corner of this coun- ty, and in the adjoining township of Greene, in Pike county, as to be a posi-. tive nuisance to the farmers. Their raids on sheep folds and pig pens are almost nightly. One farmer, Emory Gilpin of Greene, has had thirty sheep carried away during the past few weeks, and other farmers losses have been cor respondingly large. Until deer hunting began, on the first of the month, the hunters of the region did what they could to rid the neighborhood of the animals. They have hunted constant ly, and twelve dead bears and seven dead catamounts have been the result. This, it was thought, would rid the three townships of the animals, but soon after the hunters turned their at- tention to the more congenial sport of deer hunting, and sought the districts best suited to them, the bears and cata. mounts returned to their haunts in the neighborhood of the backwoods pastures and pig pens, and for the past week or so have been as bold and destructive in their raids as ever.
 Several days ago Thomas Bram sur. prised a bear lugging of sheep from his lot, in Dreher township. By the time he returned to his house and got his gun, Bruin was well into the wood with his prey. He was followed and overtaken a quarter of a mile in. A shot from Bram's rife caused him tC drop the carcass of the sheep and thk' himself off, The same afternoon a boy who was sent to watch in the field dis covered 8 large catamount in a beech tree at one edge of the lot. The boy was armed with a rife, and drew up a once and fired at the catamount. Tn, animal dropped from the tree and rar round and round in a circle, yelling fearfully. This frightened the boy, anC he dropped his gun and lost no time il getting to the farmhouse and giving tn, alarm. A farm hand hurried to tn, lot, and found the catamount lying deaC about one hundred feet from the tree The boy had shot it in one eye, and thu ball had passed through the head anC come out at the base of the left ear Since then no less than four bears have been seen in the day time lurking in tho same neighborhood, and catamounts arr heard nightly. The farmers announc' that they will gladly welcome all hunterr to the region, and take good care O them, if they will ouly hunt these four footed marauders down

A Drill That Seemed Easy.

Prem the "Recollections of a Private, !" in the November Centnry, we quote the following: "After enlisting din't seem of so much consequence as l expected. There was not so much excitement cn account of my military appearance as deemed justly my due. I was taught my facings, and at the time I thought the drill-master needlessly fussy about my shouldering, ordering, and present. ing arms. The musket, after an hours drill, seemed heavier and less ornamental than it had looked to be. The first day I went out to drill, getting tired of doing the same thing over and over. I said to the drill-sergeant: Let's stop this fooling and go over to the grocery. His only reply was addressed to a cor poral Corporal, take this man out and drill him like thunder; and the corporal did. I found that suggestions we're not as we'll appreciated in the army as in private life, and that no wisdom was equal to a drill-master's Right face, Left wheel and Right, oblique, march. It takes raw recruit some time to learn tbat he is not to think or suggest, but obey. Some never do learn. I acquired it at last in humility and mud, but it was tough. Yet I doubt if my patriot ism during my first three weeks drill, was quite knee high. Drilling looks easy to a spectator, but it isn't. Old soldiers who read this will remember their green recruithood and smile assent. After time I had cut down my uniform so that I could see out of it, and had conquered the drill sufficiently to see through it. Then the word came: On to Washington r"

Reunited Through Their Child.

A well-dressed comfortable-looking German woman sat in the consplainsnt's chair in the Special Sessions recently, and near her stood her little daughter, pretty, fair-haired, and four years old. Mrs. Matilda Levy was suing her hus- band, Abraham, who stood at the prls- oner's bar, for abandonment.
 "What is your name ?" asked Justice Smith.
 My mamma's name is Matilda, !" chirruped the little girl, "and she's a good mamma, too"
 The mother tugged at the dress of the little miss with a frightened air, the Justice peered over the bench to see where the noise came from, and a smile went round the court room.
 "You want to make a complaint against your husband" continued the Justice.
 'No," spoke up the irrepressible lit- tle girl, mamma wants to forgive papa. and papa wants to forgive man. ma"
 The three Justices smiled, the clerk stopped scowling at lawyer who was asking him questions, peered over his spectacles at the pretty child, and then chucked her under the chin. The hus- band hung down his head and the wo- mans eyes moistened.
 "Yes," continued the little girl, rising on her tiptoes and crying out aloud, ''we want to leave this nasty place and go home"
 The complaint was withdrawn and the reunited couple left with the child be- tween them.
 "Goo'-bye, she shouted, and all the court smiled good-bye.-N r. Times.

He in- tended using the money to deiray the expenses of a trip to his late home across the water. As he was to start in few days, he did not think it necessary to deposit the money in the bank. He gave it to his wife, who placed it in the parlor stove. A few days ago Mir. Hertz threw a lighted match into the stove during his wife's absence and the money was burned. Mir. Hertz has postponed his trip abroad.

Pensions Not Increased

Mrs. Jane Work complained that the United States Pension Office paid her but SPA for her last quarters pension, whereas she is entitled, she thinks, to receive $36. Her husband fell in battle. The increase of pay she expected to receive by reason of laws passed during the last session of Congress.
 Colonel Charles R. Coster, in charge of the Pension Office in New York city, said that, under the impression that the projected law to increase the rates of pensions had been placed on the statute books, many persons had writ ten to him inquiring about their expected in- crease of pay. He had informed such parties received the sanction of Congress. Those who applied to pension agents are therefore, as will be seen, mistaken in supposing themselves entitled to any other rates than those already in force.
