Labor in Colombia.

The question of labor in Colombia is
worth much notice, for the answer of to-
day may not do for tomorrow. The
President is sure of his $4,000 salary,
the Governors Of their $1,000, and the
soldier of his S400, but nothing else is
assured. Clerks receive an average of
fifty dollars n month, farm hands ten
dollars, machinists and manufacturers
not more than forty dollars, and so on.
Put away the possibility of instructions
and other disturbances, and an advance
of ten per cent can be counted on. In
Ecuador for comparison, labor is better
paid for, and prices of food are lower.
quote from a Guayaquil paper: Sugar,
fifteen cents; kerosene, one dollar; meat,
ten cents; eggs, thirty cents; butter, fifty
cents: lard twenty cents" On the
whole, the condition of Ecuador is moro
favorable to the working class. Ecuador
also has some factories, four banks, n
railway, two telegraph lines, and seven
teen newspapers, and is, of course,
more enlightened and less susceptible
to foreign influences. Panama Cor.

A TRUE STORY.


'where is the baby, grandmammap"
The sweet young mother calls
From her work In the coZy kitchen,
with Its dainty whitewnshcd walls.
And grandma leaves her knitting,
And looks for her all around;
But not trace of baby dear
Can anywhere be found.
No sound of its merry prattle,
No CLEAN of its sunny hair,
No patter of tiny footsteps,
No signs of IL anywhere.
All through house and garden,
Far out Into the field,
They searched each nook and cornor,
But nothing is revealed.
And the mothers face grew pallid;
Grandmamma's eyes grew dim;
The fathers gone to the village;
No use to look for him,
And the bnby lostl Where's Rover2"
The mother CHANGED to think
OF the old well in the orchard
Where the cattle used to drink.
" Where's Rovcr2 / know he'd find hori
Rovcrl In vain they call.
They hurry away to the orchard;
And there by the moss.grown wall,
Close to the well, lies Rover,
Holding to bnby's dress;
She was clean over the wells cdgo
In perfect fearlessncss!
She stretched her little arms down,
But Rover held her fast
And never seemed to mind the kicks
The tiny bare feet cast
So spitefully upon him,
But waggcd his tail instead,
To greet the frightened scarchcI
While naughty baby said:
4" There's n little dirl in the alter,
She's dust rs big us me,
Mamma, want to help her out
And take her home to tea.
But Rover, he won't let me,
And l don't love him. Go
Away, YOU naughty Rover!
Oh, why are you crying sop
The mother kissed her saying:
My darling, understand,
Good Rover saved your life, my dear
And see, he licksyour handl
Kiss Rover" Baby struck him,
But grandma undcrstood;
She said: It's hard to thank the friend
Who thwarts us for our good"

MIR. Paul Mayo, of Lausanne,
Switzerland, declares that if the force
of one horsepower were distributed SO
skillfully as it is among the requisite
number of mosquitoes, it would support
one hundred and thirty tons of weight
in the air-that is, one horsepower of
mosquito tying-force weighs no less
than one hundred and thirty tons. A
horsepower of housefly tlying-forcc
weighs twenty tons. The moment,
therefore, the principle of the true fly
ing machine shall be discovered there
will be an end of worry over its weight.
A waterworks engine directing its force
with the economy of a mosquito would
tide the ocean and lift hard at the earth
itself. Current

Everything connected with ones busi-

of many of the goods they handle.

are of interest to the man who seeks to
be thoroughly familiar with the mer-
chandise in which he deals For the in
formation of such we give the derivation
of the names of the following goods:

Zaytown, in China; calico, from Calcut.

TO APPEAR IN THIS ISSUE ONLY.

In this high pressure period Of the world the
man who moves has to keep open the throttle
valve, or he is left behind in the race. He who
speaks has to say something striking, or exhibit
some eccentricity of ideas, or he does not hold
the attention Of the populace. He who writes
and publishes, must fill his pages with scandals
and sensational stuff, or he is not read. The man
who advertises is no exception to the rule. In
order to get up a rush, he must offer what he has
to sell for cost or less than cost. He must be
willing to take IS cents in silver for his green
back dollars worth Of goods; must offer some
thing for nothing if he attracts the crowd. Now
while we have nothing to offer under any OF the
above heads, we trust you will note the point we
we are going to make. In the year 1873 Qulnlne
was manufactured in quantities sufficient to sup
plv practitioners of medicine and the public,
and bought at wholesale at $1,000 per ounce.
Since that time, period of go years, it has never
reached point, in price, so low as it did some
weeks since. We bought at that time, for spot
cash, at bottom figures, large lot, and we can
now offer the article for cash, in ounce bottles,
at prices never before heard of in this market.
Physicians and others will please ask or send
for cash prices.
Will havesomething to say on debts, those due
us, in next issue.
